Heir of the Red Chamber

Chapter 81

Lin Ya took a deep breath, read the words "Your wife is pregnant" repeatedly for a full moment, and suddenly covered his eyes with his hands and turned around, leaving the boy who came to deliver the letter at a loss as to what to do, so he could only continue Honestly kneel on the ground.

After a while, Lin Ya put down his hands, and said in a hoarse voice with red eyes, "Get up, you have worked hard all the way, go and pay 50 taels of reward, then pick a fast horse, go back and tell...Master, I will set off immediately after finishing the errand here Return to Beijing."

After two lifetimes, he was finally about to have a child connected by blood, and the joy in his voice could not be suppressed.

Although he couldn't be with Zeng Hui when the doctor was taking his pulse, Lin Ya believed that he would be able to go back before Zeng Hui gave birth.The situation in the south of the Yangtze River has stabilized, and he has fulfilled Chu Ronghua's order. It may not be long before he receives the order to transfer him back to Beijing.

At that time, the boy was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear, and a series of auspicious words came out, but it was Lin Ya who waved his hand, and he retreated with his life full of satisfaction.

What Lin Ya didn't know was that Zeng Hui wasn't even in Lin's residence when she was diagnosed with pregnancy.

That day, Zeng Hui was sent to Zhongshun Prince's Mansion by Lin Chong in a hurry, barely dodging the people sent by Concubine Zhen Gui to hunt her down.She had just breathed a sigh of relief, but she learned from the affectionate and distressed servant girl that her natal family had been closed and was sent by the old sage to enter the heavenly prison. No one, men, women, old or young were spared.

Even the second cousin who married into the Beijing Palace was dismissed by the Princess of Beijing for being unfilial and jealous, and she was not allowed to take a penny of dowry. Only a few loyal servants accompanied the cousin out of the palace.

And Prince Beijing, who has always loved his cousin very much, has gone out of the city with the saint to pray for the old saint.

At that time, Zeng Hui felt that her eyes were dark and the world was spinning for a while. When she woke up again, she heard Princess Zhongshun speaking softly in her ear, saying that she was happy, and asked her to take care of herself, and wait for Shengjia to return and make decisions for the Zeng family. .

Concubine Zhongshun treated Zeng Hui very well, and all the supplies were based on her own rules. The servants, let alone being negligent, would not escape punishment if the concubine found out that she did not agree with Zeng Hui's wishes.

It's just that Prince Zhongshun himself never talked to the concubine about the situation outside. The concubine took care of the internal affairs in the mansion every day. Naturally, Zeng Hui had no way of knowing the situation outside, so she could only suppress her anxiety and focus on raising the baby. The taste of living like a year.

Until one evening, the sunset seemed to burn half the sky red, and suddenly the horses outside the mansion screamed and people roared, and there was a riot inside the palace.

As soon as Zeng Hui put on her big clothes, Princess Zhongshun's confidant mother came to invite her, saying that there was a traitor besieging the palace, and she invited Grandma Lin to go to the main room together, so that they could take care of each other.

Afterwards, Zeng Hui and Princess Zhongshun listened to the servants running back and forth, saying for a while that the prince was killing the rebels who were trying to stop the holy car at the city gate, and for a while saying that Uncle Xu shot dead the rebels who besieged the palace. ringleader.

The news is all good news, but the riot has not subsided for a long time.

When the fight reached about three o'clock, the direction of the palace suddenly burst into flames, and the rebels who besieged the palace dispersed, and Sheng Jia finally entered the city and returned to the palace under the protection of King Zhongshun and King Beijing.

At noon on the second day, the chief steward of the Lin family brought Lin Ruhai's seal to pick up the grandma back home. Only then did Zeng Hui ask about the situation of her husband's family and her mother's family.

The Lin family was unscathed, the elder brother Lin Ya was thousands of miles away, the second master was escorted out of Beijing by his servants long before the rebellion, and the eldest girl was brought by the master's side.

The situation of the Zeng family is a blessing among misfortunes.Although he suffered a disaster in prison, he was released early this morning, and the old man Zeng was also conferred the title of Uncle Anshun by the saint.Only Master Zeng Er suffered from the cold in prison and passed away unfortunately. The sage treated Er Fang extra favorably and gave Master Zeng Er's son a captain of a light car.

If there is a reward, there will be a punishment. Of course, the rebellious families are sent to prison to wait for the sage to be punished. The few families that have been unclear about the Zhen family have also been sent to prison one after another.

Before the bloodstains on the soldiers who accompanied Shengjia to fight against rebellion were washed away, they were ordered to search the two palaces of Xining and Nan'an and the residences of five or six princes, and drove out the pampered masters and young masters like chicken cubs , surrounded by several dilapidated houses.

Including the Ningrong Second Mansion, most of the four kings and eight princes fell in one day, but the two princes of the historian family were only ordered to shut their doors and think about their mistakes.

The men were all detained, and the female relatives naturally began to seek relatives and friends as soon as they barely settled down, and walked around.It's just that everyone is in danger now, who has the mood to take care of the bad debts of other people's families?

Mrs. Shi originally thought that her natal nephews, Baolinghou and Zhongjinghou would still respect her as an aunt, but she didn't expect that the old family he sent didn't even see her nephew and nephew's wife. Ask Shi Xiangyun, who has always been dear to her, the servants of the Shi family only say that the eldest girl is busy embroidering the dowry and does not go out.

Wang's mocking mother-in-law's smile still persisted, and the servants she sent to ask for help from Wang's family were also rejected.The two wives of the Wang family closed their doors tightly when the second master and prince vacated the capital, so naturally they would not go into such untouchable muddy water for an aunt who had been married for many years.

Wang was almost so angry that she had a heartache attack, so she had to send someone to Sun's house to find her eldest daughter Yuanchun.

Even if this daughter once humiliated the family, but she is her own flesh and blood, at this time, she can only be counted on to pull out the second wife.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Rui's family couldn't even enter the Sun's house.

Caixia, who followed Yuanchun to the Sun's family and was dressed in gold and silver, only saw Zhou Rui's family in the concierge, and kept covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, as if she was afraid that Zhou Rui's family would have some bad luck.

Zhou Rui's nose was going to crooked.At the beginning, Caixia and Third Master Huan got married, if she hadn't been merciful for a moment and let Caixia be the eldest girl's dowry, would this little hoof have what it is today?Can an aunt who is a eldest son-in-law wear gold and silver?

It's a pity that Caixia doesn't think Zhou Rui's family is her benefactor.

She raised her raised eyebrows and made no secret of her gloating: "Grandma said that the second wife's kindness will be remembered by the second wife's kindness when the daughter who married out spilled water. It's not that grandma doesn't miss old love It's really not handy. If the second wife is in a hurry, why don't you ask the Xue family, didn't their uncle just settle for the third girl? She is the second wife's close relatives who have broken bones and tendons."

After finishing speaking, Caixia twisted her enchanting body like a water snake and left. Zhou Rui's family was almost overwhelmed, but because she was a step late, she happened to bump into Sun Shaozu who was riding back to the house, and was beaten by the unhappy elder brother. The uncle kicked him down but didn't dare to make a sound.

Who doesn't know that the eldest son-in-law Sun Shaozu is a fool?Endure one kick and endure one kick, don't invite another beating.
