Heir of the Red Chamber

Chapter 64

Li Baifu hunched over and slowly moved up the steps.

When the janitors of the Wang family saw him, they felt as if they had been beaten to death. They dealt with it indiscriminately, and the stewards of other families who were nodding and bowing to them rushed up to him.

One said why didn’t you say something about Grandpa Li, so that we could go out to meet him, and the other said why Grandpa Li didn’t look very cheerful today, is there someone who doesn’t have a good eye, and should they help me to have a long memory.

Before the voice fell, the second person who spoke was slapped on the back of the head, and he was beaten and scolded: "What are you talking about, who is our master? Grandpa Li is our master and Qian's, Who dares to be angry with Grandpa Li?"

The flattery was so sweet that everyone agreed for a while, and everyone showed a look of pride.

Li Baifu, who watched, sighed and laughed in his heart, these monkey cubs are still dreaming.What time is it, and when the master is calling the wind and calling the rain?

Nowadays, there are many people who want to step down the master in front of the new saint, and they are simply scrambling to be the first.What's worse is that even the old sage had a suspicion of the master, otherwise he wouldn't have received so many cold eyes today.

Too lazy to talk to these little servants, Li Baifu didn't even move his brows, but still walked slowly into the corner gate at the same pace for more than ten years, as if the whole Wang family was still shrouded in the glory of the Jingying Jiedu envoy. Shi's confidant butler is still a well-known figure.

The kids around Li Baifu who were making fun of him couldn't help muttering after he entered the door: Grandpa Li's handwriting is not as generous as before. They talked for so long, but they didn't even give a fart.

After entering the door, Li Baifu went directly to the outer study of the master Wang Ziteng.

Ever since the sage ordered someone to strangle His Highness the Sixth Highness to death in the palace one night before, and passed the throne to His Highness the Third Highness who was not close to his family, Wang Ziteng had been confined in his study room except on duty.

Following the crown prince, rebelling against the water, stepping on the blood of the same robes, and finally supporting the Zhen family. He was terrified all day long.

How the new monarch will deal with them, and how the Supreme Emperor will act, Wang Ziteng couldn't figure it out for a while.

In front of others, Wang Ziteng had to support the face of the head of the Wang family and the actual helm of the four Jinling families. At this moment, only Li Baifu, who had served him since childhood, was in the study, and he couldn't help but show a tired look.

"How about it?"

Everything happened too fast, all his arrangements were disrupted, and now that his status has been determined, if he tries to pull the new king down, he will inevitably be labeled as a rioter. The price is too high, so he can only slowly Picture it.

He sent Li Baifu out today, not to do anything, but to make the in-laws calm down, especially Ningrong Second Mansion.

Li Baifu couldn't help lowering his head when he heard the words, Wang Ziteng's heart sank when he saw it.

"The slave is useless. I haven't seen my aunt and aunt. The eldest aunt and the second aunt Lian are also busy."

To put it bluntly, in the past, the majestic and majestic housekeeper Li, who could even sweep the face of his master, was rejected by the Jia family.

Thinking about the days when he came to discipline his aunts and aunts for the master, Li Baifu himself couldn't help but sigh that this is really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

Sitting at the top, Wang Ziteng sneered: "So you think I'm not good enough? Are you busy with the old woman in their family to get rid of me? It's really my sister and niece of Wang Ziteng."

As he said that, he couldn't bear the bad breath, and slammed his palm on the table.

But the old lady Jia's natal Shihou's mansion is indeed in a stronger situation than this mansion, Li Baifu silently swallowed this sentence back.

He has been serving Wang Ziteng since he was a child, and he knows that Wang Ziteng's anger is on the verge of erupting at this moment, and he really can't stand the harsh words.

Fortunately, Wang Ziteng has been in the ups and downs of his career for many years, so he didn't need anyone to persuade him about this matter. He quickly calmed down and asked about other things: "Is the woman in charge of the Fourth Highness's house still the only one visiting today?"

Ever since Prince Teng became the old sage's confidant, the threshold of this mansion has been broken down. Even now, there are many people who come to give gifts, but there are not many families in the capital that can make the Wang family walk around in a serious manner.

Li Baifu's waist was even more bent, and he said yes lightly.

The closeness between the Zhen family and the Wang family is known to anyone in the court who has eyes and ears.Now His Highness the Sixth Highness died suddenly, the Sixth Prince's concubine's natal family died, and the Fourth Highness was disgusted by the old sage early on. The Zhen family couldn't sleep well in the south of the Yangtze River. How long can Wang Ziteng be the military envoy of the capital?

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it, and when the drum breaks, everyone beats it.Now everyone is afraid that they have already begun to think about how much benefits they can get from the Wang family, so why would they come to the door?

Only the cousin girl who borrowed from the Xue family would ask people to come back to intercede in the name of His Royal Highness from time to time, hoping that the master would give them a hand.

Let Li Baifu say that Mrs. Xue's aunt's spine is too soft. She brings her son to live in the Rongguo Mansion and her daughter lives in the Fourth Prince's Mansion. I don't have half the ability.

They also didn't think about it, if the master wanted to take care of the Xue family's affairs, how could he let them live in the Rongguo Mansion in the first place?

Prince Teng squinted his eyes.

He didn't care much about the Xue family's niece.

At the beginning, he valued His Highness the Sixth Highness more, and His Highness the Fourth could not turn against him, so he sent the fatherless and powerless niece over there, and used the wealth of the Xue family to dispel His Highness's suspicions.To put it bluntly, Xue Baochai is just an insignificant pawn.

Right now, the old sage's fury aroused by the Sixth Highness has not subsided, and it is too eye-catching to pick up someone from the Fourth Highness's residence at this juncture.

Anyway, Xue's family lived in Rongguo Mansion, so even if Xue Baochai wanted to ask, he should go to Jia's.

It's just that Wang Ziteng was a little uncertain about the old sage's true thoughts.The old sage killed the sixth prince on the spot, but he didn't demote the position of Concubine Zhengui. I heard that he still respected him, so the fourth prince is not guaranteed to die. Maybe there will be a day of comeback in the future.In that case, Xue Baochai would still be of some use.

In this way, she will not be able to leave the Fourth Prince's Mansion even more.

After making up his mind, Wang Ziteng didn't feel refreshed at all, but only felt more bored.

Ever since he became obsessed with refining elixir, the old sage's sanity has been a little confused, but the symptoms were not obvious at the beginning, and not many people noticed it.

At that time, Wang Ziteng hadn't really made a choice between the four or the six, so the manpower assigned to them passed the fatal news to the two highnesses respectively.

As a result, that idiot of the fourth prince took such a big risk to take advantage of the old sage's ignorance to lure the old sage to make an order. He only dealt with a young man of the Lin family, leaving only future troubles, and it was impossible to make a big deal.

In connection with the sudden death of the sixth prince, Wang Ziteng vaguely felt that someone else might have discovered the madness of the old sage, and the sixth prince, who had some hopes, would directly die in Huangquan.

It's a shame that he is in charge of the big camp in the suburbs of Beijing, he holds the power of soldiers and horses in the capital, and no one notified him of such a big event as the passing of the old sage, and he didn't get the news until the next morning.

After waking up, the position has been decided, even if the old sage repented, he would not be able to easily dethrone the new emperor.

It doesn't matter that the civil servants drafting the decree can run faster than a rabbit, anyway, the Qingliu have never dealt with him, and Wang Ziteng was shocked because the Grand Duke Dai Quan, who had been fed with money for a long time, and how much he had in private The generals of the Forbidden Army who came and went were also silent and turned against each other.

Wang Ziteng still has a back hand in the northwest, but this kind of thing pays attention to the cooperation of the inside and the outside. Now it is clear that there is a second heart in the army, so how dare he act rashly.

After thinking about it, Wang Ziteng felt that his past few decades had really been wasted, and he was defeated by the inconspicuous Third Highness.

The old sage's days are dying, and it seems that he can't hope for it. His Highness, if he wants to make a comeback, he must be able to survive this hurdle.After several calculations, Wang Ziteng realized that he could really only support the new king and accept the grace sent by the new king.

Always get through this hurdle first, and then plan for the future.

Sighing, Wang Ziteng lost interest: "Leave her alone, if someone comes again, just say what I say, and let the cousin keep her own place. Tomorrow, you go to the Wufu alley, and I will treat Eunuch Dai to a drink."

When everyone sees how much he is valued by the new king, his sister, niece, niece, and old relatives will naturally look up to him as before, and the sister-in-law, niece, and son-in-law who have been quite critical in the past few months will still dare not even give a fart.

And that Jia Zhen from the Ningguo Mansion is so shameless, the prince's concubine would have been rubbed to death immediately, but I heard that the fetus was boiled until there was only a handful of bones left, okay, the old sage showed his right The remembrance of the first prince, the breath came over, and as soon as the new king ascended the throne, the king of Yizhong County became the king of Zhongshun, the breath became even more sharp, and he didn't take his warning to heart at all.

Don't even think about it, is the king of Yizhong County who ascended the throne?The royal maids who had an affair with their father-in-law would be better off dead.

Li Baifu respectfully agreed.

It's a pity that no matter how well Wang Ziteng thinks, he can't stand against Mrs. Wang's self-conceived tricks.

Mrs. Wang doesn't think that her biggest reliance now is her natal brother.

You know, her sweetheart, Jia Yuanchun, was an old man who served the current queen when the new king hid in his residence, and was rewarded by the noble concubine.Even if the words are vague, how can the maid given to the prince serve?Everyone knows that Yuan Chun was bestowed by the concubine on the pillow of today, so won't Yuan Chun be the empress in the future?

Even if you have just ascended the throne and don't want to confine the harem, there will always be the position that should be there.

In addition, Yuan Chunqian sent a little eunuch to send a message to the family, saying that everything is fine, Mrs. Wang only feels that she has lived most of her life, and only these few days stand the most stable and have the most confidence.

A charitable person like her, who eats meat by herself, always pulls the poor sister to drink some soup, doesn't she?

By the way, I agreed to Aunt Xue who was begging for the treasure.
