Heir of the Red Chamber

Chapter 60

The news of the elite scuffle between the mission and the barbarian lord was quickly sent to the case of the Third Highness Chu Ronghua by a special person.

Most of the troops that Lin Ya led this time out of the fortress were carefully selected by Chu Ronghua's confidantes from the remnants left by the Xu family. Chu Ronghua even summoned them once casually. Everything was settled properly, and even the two nails that Wang Jiaan came in were solved secretly as soon as they left Hangu Pass.

Unexpectedly, such a mistake happened.

The news came back too quickly, and because they were afraid of being intercepted halfway, the words were very brief and cryptic. Chu Ronghua and his confidant, Zeng San, Master Zeng Xi, only knew that Lin Ya and the others were fine for the time being, and they had already followed Yin Wang's men to continue. go north.

The news itself is good news, but Chu Ronghua is now deeply rooted in the army, and he also got another piece of news: the barbarian has recently transferred back the two cavalry troops who were fighting the grass valley at Pinggu Pass, and returned north for no reason.

Reading the two secret reports together, maybe Lin Ya and the others' whereabouts were finally noticed by the barbarian.

His heart sank, and Chu Ronghua couldn't help looking north in silence, but unfortunately, all he could see were flying eaves and brackets, rich and romantic, how could he see the desert beyond the Gobi where the wind blows the sand and thousands of miles of people disappear?

Chu Ronghua was sitting silently with Zeng Xi when his confidant slipped in from the bottom of the wall, and replied with a low eyebrow: There is another visitor in the palace.

——Ever since the four or six princes born of Concubine Zhen Gui were abandoned in the present, Chu Ronghua, the de facto eldest son, has become a delicacy in front of him.

Chu Ronghua had only been out for half a day, and someone from the palace summoned him again.

It's just that he can't do without him now, but Chu Ronghua's title has been hanging in the air. I don't know if the old man is really confused or has other intentions.

There is a lot of discussion in the court, these days there are many things to say, Chu Ronghua seems to have heard nothing, every day he is not serving the current alchemy in the palace, or returning to the mansion to recuperate, regardless of the government and the people .

Nowadays, it is very urgent to find Chu Ronghua. Every time the servants in the palace come over, it is as if they are stepping on a hot wheel under their feet. One by one, the servant has come to report the letter. In the blink of an eye, Chu Ronghua pursed his lips, and had no choice but to entrust the matter of Lin Ya to Zeng Xi, and changed his clothes first, so that he could follow the servant into the palace.

Fortunately, Lin Ya is now also Zeng Xi's nephew and son-in-law, and this marriage is considered to be Zeng Xibao's matchmaker, and Chu Ronghua can rest assured that he is entrusted to him.

Little did they know that Zeng Xi was suffering more than anyone else right now.

He is obviously a young talent among the famous families, with a promising future. He even put his own daughter behind and arranged a good marriage for his eldest niece. In the end, things went step by step. It became like this.

The child is silent and strange, this sentence has been said by the third master Zeng all his life, and now he is dying, and now he can't burn incense sooner or later, to bless his eldest niece and son-in-law to come back soon.It's really a repentant son-in-law looking for a title.

Leaving the aides to sit in the mansion as before, Chu Ronghua hurriedly followed the summoned servants into the palace, and holding the waist card in his hand, he went straight to the side hall of the current bedroom.

Sure enough, a group of Taoist priests led the Taoist boy and several servants carefully inspecting the freshly baked elixir, while Dai Quan and Xia Bingzhong stared at it well.

Seeing the Third Highness coming down, everyone saluted, headed by Xia Bingzhong.Dai Quan was two steps behind Xia Bingzhong, his chubby face was full of flattery, and his gaze that glanced over Xia Bingzhong inadvertently was filled with jealousy.

The unparalleled Eunuch Dai has been severely suppressed by Xia Bingzhong these days since he committed a crime.

Calmly, he took into account the eyebrows and eye lawsuits of the two chief eunuchs around him, Chu Ronghua just nodded, and refused to say a word with the people around him, and directly took the elixir sent by a servant, even Take three pills.

There is actually a wall separating the old and present from his own son, and this wall has even opened holes in the treasure shelf, so that today can monitor Chu Ronghua's every move.

Ever since Chu Ronghua entered the door, the eyes of today's Chaos suddenly burst into radiance, staring at his own heir, just to see if he took the opportunity to collude with the palace servants around him, if he had any intention of tampering with the pill, And, is there any dissatisfaction with the test medicine?

He looked at it for a long while with a gloomy expression, until the imperial doctor outside gave Chu Ronghua his pulse and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with this batch of pills, and now he leaned weakly on the pillow and tried his best to the little palace man who had been standing by the side with his head bowed. Nuzui: "Xuan Linqing sees you."

The Great Court Meeting has been suspended for nearly a year, and the Small Court Meeting has also been suspended for more than three months. Although there are still a few ministers surnamed Lin in the court, there must be only one person who does not think about Lin Qing today: Lin Gongruhai.

There was still a trace of blood on the forehead of the little palace man. After hearing today's order, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed firmly, got up and ran out to deliver the decree, as if he didn't feel that the wound on his head was cracking again.

Lin Ruhai was originally on duty in the palace.

Since the beginning of spring, people who were not diligent in politics now only have longevity in their eyes. All government affairs are handled by the six ministers and the left and right ministers. Today, they only use seals.

As a result, the ministers who each had their own small plans in their stomachs quarreled endlessly about everything, and many big and small things were piled up on the desk. In addition, the recent disasters in various places have become more serious, and everyone simply lived in the palace. There are many homes.

Among them, Lin Ruhai is highly trusted today. Apart from the Third Highness Chu Ronghua, Lin Ruhai has been counted as the king most times, and there are even secret rumors that Lin Ruhai will become the Minister of Gu Ming in the future.

Others were envious and jealous, but Lin Ruhai still had a calm appearance, knelt down and listened to the order meticulously, then got up and followed the servant without looking sideways.

Only in front of Yuhua's gate, Lin Ruhai nodded slightly with Chu Ronghua, the third prince who was sent out by Xia Bingzhong.

At the same time that Lin Ruhai was meeting, Grandma Lin Zeng Hui's elder brother, Uncle Zeng, brought some fresh fish, shrimp, fruits and vegetables from villages outside the city to visit Lin's house.

Although Uncle Zeng is the elder brother of great-grandmother Zeng Hui, this time he came to visit the girl who came out of the court. After all, he is a male guest, and the men of the Lin family should come forward to greet him.Both Lin Ruhai and Lin Ya were absent, only Lin Chong happened to be at home on vacation, and the housekeeper directly reported Lin Chong after inviting him in.

Coincidentally, Lin Chong was commenting poems with Daiyu in the gazebo at this moment, and Daiyu could hear the butler's words clearly.

Daiyu was very happy with the Zeng family's frequent visits to her sister-in-law. Now that she heard that her elder brother, whom her sister-in-law often mentioned, had come, she couldn't help clapping her hands and smiling, and directly handed the poem manuscript to Ying'er who was standing beside her, with a crisp voice. Said: "Second brother, hurry up, don't make sister-in-law's brother wait too long, hurry up, so that sister-in-law and brother and sister can talk for a while."

As she said that, thinking of her elder brother Lin Ya who had been away from home for a long time, Daiyu couldn't help sighing softly, frowning slightly, her joy turned into sorrow.

Lin Chong's complexion has not been very good ever since the housekeeper said that the Zeng family uncle has come. Daiyu was so concerned with being happy for her sister-in-law Zeng Hui that she didn't notice it. He bit his lip.

"Second brother..."

Daiyu was full of words to say, but was interrupted by Lin Chong raising his hand.He glanced sharply at the servants around him, and didn't think about opening his mouth until they all exited the gazebo.

"I know what my sister said, so I don't need to say it again. It's just that this matter is about my elder brother." Lin Ya paused, as if he didn't want to say the following words: "Even if something happens to me in the future, if my wife remarries, I will never say anything , but the elder brother's wife, absolutely not."

Ever since Lin Ya's official news was cut off, Mrs. Zeng's family and Uncle Zeng's family have been trying to persuade Zeng Hui, hoping that she would nod and remarry after receiving the definite news that Lin Ya was gone. The master knows it well, but it hasn't been spread outside yet.
