[Red Chamber] Jagged Lin Daiyu

Chapter 181 Public Opinion + Daily Life

The emperor's eyes lit up as he listened to the story of the fourth and first edition of the event of "the blue sky, the white day, the demon road, the street swindling people, and the night entering Yinjiazhuang to give advice and restore the original form".The first edition is a letter written by Daiyu "deceive people with snake skin", the second edition is the local government's report and the version circulated by Yin Hu, and the third edition is the rumor in the rivers and lakes that "the old man turned Grandma Yin into a snake demon, Mr. Mu sprayed water on it to break the curse', the fourth edition is today's one, and it is not different from the first edition.

The emperor nodded slightly, and took a sip of the hot kumiss: "The rumors in the Jianghu are unbelievable." Although the second and third editions sounded more interesting, they really didn't sound true. Man, throwing down the snakeskin is more believable.

She continued on, feeling from her sleeve as she spoke, and took out a cantaloupe: "The melons at the border are very sweet."

The emperor was eating jerky, his mouth was dry, and he was drunk from drinking. When he saw the melon, his eyes lit up, and he turned to look for the knife: "I heard from the scholar's travel notes that Hami's melon is as sweet as a honey pot. Well, it's quite good before it's cut. Smell! Several times I asked people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to buy some, and they all said that it would be broken due to bumps along the way, and I was not willing to pay for it. 'Riding Hongchen Concubine Xiao' is quite expensive. Is it really delicious?"

Daiyu nodded while holding the wine glass: "It's very sweet, I bought dozens of them."

Of course, there is a sword hanging in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the Qinglong Sword of "Nurture the Righteousness and Dispel Evil".

Duofu, who was next to him, kept hiding aside. When the emperor wiped the sword and retracted it into its sheath, the room was filled with a strong aroma. He slowly pulled the melons. Duofu quickly looked around, and took the spittoon to accept it.

The emperor couldn't help sighing: "It's so sweet and delicious, bah bah bah, delicious!" Spit out melon seeds.

Daiyu was tired of eating melons in the frontier, and now she just slowly drank the dried meat and continued to talk about her experiences along the way.

The emperor interrupted her: "Wait a minute. Duofu, go get a holding box and send it to the empress."

Duofu was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, Yongfu Palace has been locked at this time."

The emperor pinched his fingers and said: "Your Majesty is not asleep yet, you just call the door." She loves fruits the most, and she must like this sweet melon.Recently, for my filial piety plan, she lives in Yongfu Palace, and I live in Yangxin Palace, so I can't sleep alone every night.

By the way, write a poem: Green jade is soaked in ice springs, and gold is broken by frost blades.Refreshing the heat in the evening, clearing the sweetness and washing the thirsty heart.

(I miss you, I want to hug and kiss, but unfortunately the words have already been uttered, so let’s eat a melon and calm down)

Duofu obeyed and went with half of the melons.

Daiyu continued to tell interesting stories on the road, and shyly skipped the part of her traveling around the lake with her mistress.

The emperor squawked and gnawed on melons, and suddenly raised his head, realizing something was wrong: "Daiyu, you're good at drinking this time you're going out."

In the past, drinking a small cup of sweet osmanthus wine (soak fresh osmanthus in rice wine, discard the petals after a month, add honey and cook until hot) would make her face blush, but now after drinking half a bottle of Jinhua wine, her expression is calm.

Daiyu blushed and said, "Brother, I have achieved some success in practicing qi now, so I won't get drunk after drinking."

The emperor was very sorry: "Oh, what can I do if I can't sleep after drinking alcohol. Go on, what's the situation at the border?"

Daiyu skipped the process on the road, especially the part where Yao Sanlang pretended to be a weak chicken, not to mention Wen Jiying's first appearance, Wen Sijie's appearance, the public oath to stand in Beijing, and the next day's border crossing. The generals were beheaded in the battle to seize the flag, the four people confronted each other after the war and revealed all the plots, everyone had different positions, and Wen Jiying provoked herself unscrupulously.

The emperor pondered for a moment, then grabbed the handkerchief thrown on the table and wiped his face. The last piece of melon was too big to be cut, and his face was covered with water.

The emperor himself felt that even if he gnawed melons like that, he was romantic and unrestrained, with the character of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but Daiyu couldn't bear to be surprised.

He hesitated to speak, and sighed deeply.

Daiyu pouted, a little depressed: "I know what he did is beneficial to the country and the people, but I just... just feel unhappy. I didn't make a bet with him to make my brother punish him, I just said to be truthful I’ll tell you. Brother, you don’t have to make things difficult, after I’ve finished speaking, my heart is much more open.”

The emperor nodded: "Hiss... huh... oh... such a person who deceives the superior and the inferior, and disregards human life, has taken up righteousness. If this is true as you said, and there are no other hidden secrets, this person is a full-fledged person." scourge."

Daiyu: (⊙o⊙) Huh?

The emperor saw her confused face, so he explained to her: "Look, he has such a heart, resourcefulness, and means to confuse the world. A person is too smart, but he doesn't follow the right path, and only thinks about how to use others to achieve his own goals." Purpose, such a person is terrible."

Daiyu: Have you ever met a man named Zhuo Donglai?He looks like a bad guy!

The emperor sighed: "But he is too shrewd, I can only firmly suppress this matter for him."

Daiyu was puzzled: "Why did brother say that?"

Seeing the melon skins piled on the table as an eyesore, the emperor got up and said, "Go to the warm pavilion to talk. Sister, put the jerky there. See if you can see the Complete Explanation of the Book of Changes on the top of the bookshelf? There is a hiding place behind it Small dark grid."

The Hall of Mental Cultivation is three feet high from the ground to the beam, but the bookshelf cannot be built so high, and it is inconvenient to carry things. The bookshelf is only four meters high, and there is a climbing ladder with wheels.

Daiyu put away the small box of jerky, and the two of them moved to the warm pavilion. The eunuch brought a brass water basin and mung bean noodles for washing hands, and each of them washed their hands and sat down. The little eunuchs went to connect the table and melon skin Take them out together, clean them up and clean them up, needless to say.

The emperor backed away from the left and right again and said to her: "Look, Wen Jiying is now a hero guarding the border. Meng Yi of the Qin Dynasty entered the palace, and Wei Qing and Li Guang of the Han Dynasty. The crime of "disregarding human life" and the common people would say that I was bullied by traitors and mutilated Zhongliang, and it happened that he was the heir of General Wen. Involved, this is an in-law."

Baby Daiyu frowned, sullenly, resting her chin on her hand: "Yes." The identity and surname he hates are his greatest protection.

The emperor felt that his teeth were stuffed, and he licked his teeth: "Oh, isn't it. If you tell the world all the facts behind the scenes, first of all, many people will think that this is a villain's frame, and they won't believe it. .”

Daiyu: "Huh?" She was dazed. Although she had read many history books and seen many tricks used in officialdom struggles, she didn't know how to use them.

Seeing that she was so innocent and lovely, the emperor couldn't bear to talk about it, but she had to understand this kind of thing anyway.If she is just a gentle and beautiful girl, it is really useless to understand these things, but she is a princess with good martial arts (even if it is written in history books, it makes people feel wrong), and she is a fairy. A hundred years later, if my brother can't explain clearly to her in time, there will be others who will lie to her.Looking at Yao Sanlang's appearance, it seems that the fairyland is not very peaceful.Forget it, knowing more is not a bad thing after all.

"Look, if I told you that Wen Zelan was a robber back then, and Donglai was a prisoner, you wouldn't believe it, would you?"

Daiyu was a little embarrassed: "It's not too unreliable...I heard some rumors when I went out."

The emperor nodded: "Most people, if they think a person is good, they don't believe that person will do bad things." The emperor, how could it be possible to kill his father, you say yes, hehe) The people are even more like this, they think Wen Jiying is a good person, no matter who says he has done bad things, they will not believe it, let alone Wen Jiying Spreading rumors and deceiving people to die. There are only letters from the families of the dead Jianghu people. Guess what they say?"

Daiyu is so smart, she didn't realize it just now because she is inexperienced, now she understands: "It is said that the imperial court intentionally harms people, and the rivers and lakes and the imperial court are at odds? It is even possible to go to the border gates to deliberately cause trouble, and even to communicate with foreign countries."

The emperor slapped his hands: "Yes! These stinky and shameless people are talking about the world, and they are running dogs when they enter the public school. (Fuck him uncle), really hateful! The imperial court collects money and food to repair ditches, rivers, Roads, border guards, and city walls, they think that if they pay a little tax, it will go into the pockets of corrupt officials. Bah, corrupt officials have already been arrested by me and ransacked their homes!

Even if you don't catch it now, you will catch it sooner or later.You see, in such a situation, I have to be scruples about public opinion, and such things must not be made public, lest the Jianghu people and the court become more antagonistic.Wen Jiying's matter, I keep it in my heart, the future will be long, and now the person has just died and it is not cold enough. If I say it, it is difficult to guarantee that foreign spies will not take the opportunity to make trouble and instigate the remaining people in the rivers and lakes to attack the general's mansion. life for a life. "

Daiyu opened her mouth slightly, hesitated to speak, the emperor was right, but... oh, it's so annoying!How could so much be involved in such a small matter?I might as well not say it.

Seeing her depressed mood, the emperor laughed and comforted her softly: "Daiyu, the world is not complete, let alone one person and one thing? Life is not satisfactory, and there are many things to choose and give up. This is nothing."

Daiyu was a little sad: "Brother, I made you feel embarrassed by saying this. If I didn't tell you, he would just report the victory at the border, and my brother would be relieved."

"Scary! What is this called! You said it very well. My brother likes honest people the most. He has come and gone. If you don't tell me, he will tell me the truth."

Suddenly he heard a heavy door open. The Hall of Mental Cultivation is a small courtyard with front and rear gates. When entering the back yard, the door is the back hall. There are two doors in the middle hallway. One door opened and the other door closed. The emperor couldn't help but frown. Duofu went to send a melon back, why is there such a big commotion.

Suddenly the door of the Nuan Pavilion opened, and a beautiful woman walked in with light lotus steps: "Your Majesty?"

The emperor was very nervous, and jumped up to meet him: "Zitong, why are you here? The historian isn't here, is he?"

Daiyu stood up happily: "Sister-in-law."

The queen was wearing soft pajamas and a cloak: "I came in through the back door, how could the historian see me in the duty room? Daiyu, let me see, this trip has been hard for you, you have lost a lot of weight, and you are also tanned." Oh, why are your eyes a little swollen, are you crying? Who messed with you?"

Daiyu shook her head: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm fine. I ate well and slept well along the way. It's not much different from being at home."

The emperor came over with a candlestick: "Why didn't I notice the tan? Zitong, I'll hold the lamp for you. Take a closer look."

Daiyu covered her face in shame: "It's not tanned, don't look at it carefully."

The queen also patted him, and cursed with a soft smile: "Don't make trouble, be careful that the wax tears will burn your hands, and you will cry again. Daiyu, follow me back to the palace, we will sleep together tonight."

Daiyu said without hesitation, "Very good."

The emperor sent the two of them away quietly through the back door, watched the two stunning beauties leave hand in hand, leaned against the door and knocked on the wall, and hummed: "Xun Xun Mi is deserted and desolate, and when it is warm and cold, it is the most difficult to get out of here." Rest, three cups and two cups of light wine, how can you beat him, the wind is strong at night, the geese are passing by, I am sad... hey~"

The queen's shoulders did not dare to drive in front of the emperor, the maids waited for a while, the queen heard the emperor humming and singing sad words, and walked down laughingly, whispering a few words in her ear, coaxing the emperor to be happy gone back.

Daiyu pretended she didn't hear what she said with a flat face, and asked Yao Sanlang through voice transmission: Brother Sanlang, where are you?

Yao Sanlang: As for the handkerchiefs in the Taoist temples in the palace, you cried 23 handkerchiefs, you are worthy of being a fairy.

Daiyu: Hmph, I'm ignoring you!

Yao Sanlang: Sister, you don't have to be polite. Ever since you entered your father-in-law's house, you haven't paid me any attention, and you didn't call me when you moved into the palace.

Daiyu suddenly realized that this is really the case, I thought you would follow by yourself: I knew you would.

Yao Sanlang had a little resentment: Don't you worry that I will meet bad guys on the road and be taken away?

Daiyu: ...

Yao Sanlang felt that he was too nonsense: I am not worried at all, the bad guys who can capture me must be very strong, and the brothers and masters will feel it.snort.

Daiyu said, "I'm so tired. I'll stay in Yongfu Palace tonight. I'll see you tomorrow."

Yao Sanlang asked: What's the matter?Are you tired?Don't take Wen Jiying too seriously, you think, the mundane world has little to do with us.

On the contrary, Daiyu was annoyed: I grew up here, my parents and relatives are all here, the mundane world has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with them.

Yao Sanlang said helplessly, "Should I go to Senior Brother and ask him to relieve you?"

Daiyu sighed sullenly: No, I didn't see it myself.This matter does not need to see through the mundane world, it is enough to understand the court politics, but I don't understand.

Yao Sanlang said: Only those who don't understand can become immortals.Since ancient times, how many princes and generals, how many people have a good death?Not to mention becoming a fairy or a god.

Daiyu sighed slightly: Yes.Don't worry, I'm fine.

Yao Sanlang was squatting beside the well, messily washing his handkerchiefs, and sighed after hearing this: If you don't worry, I will be fine.

The queen returned to her shoulders, a little embarrassed: "Daiyu, why are you laughing here alone?"

Sitting side by side on the shoulders, Daiyu smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy to be able to sleep comfortably."

The empress was so distressed that she almost cried: "How hard it is to be away from home, the emperor told me how many servants are around you, and the service is not good?" The two returned to the Yongfu Palace, and Daiyu was embraced by the empress after washing up Get out of bed, talk together at night.

Yao Sanlang washed a lot of handkerchiefs, hung them to dry, and went back to bed by himself.He didn't live in the Taoist temple for half a month, so someone came to sweep the courtyard, and the bed was as clean as when he left.

In the far distance, Fourth Sister Wen was just about to 'wake up' when someone knocked on the door.

Zhuo Donglai: "Who?"

"Brother-in-law, it's me."

"Come in and talk."

Wen Jiying wore a brocade robe, took off her armor, stepped into the room and saw Fourth Sister Wen lying on the bed, frowning: "Sister is ill."

"Falling asleep." Zhuo Donglai stood in front of her face calmly, showing him only the body covered by the quilt: "She has always slept soundly, what are you talking about here?"

Wen Jiying glanced casually, and said in a low voice, "That's fine too. Brother-in-law, which Mr. Mu is really a princess? The princess who became a fairy in the legend."

Zhuo Donglai nodded, and went to the outer room with him, but did not close the door, deliberately let her listen to what was said here: "Yes, what are you afraid of?"

"Hahaha, brother-in-law's words are interesting, what can I be afraid of?" Wen Jiying sniffled and wept sadly: "The princess can see right and wrong clearly in her eyes, brother-in-law, are you the same? Now the border gate can be a general Talents are not accepted, if something happens to me, I’m afraid the frontier will be armed again. Please help me, brother-in-law.”

Zhuo Dong took a look into the room: "Your sister is half asleep, how can I help you?"

Wen Jiying had a bitter face: "I used to ask my brother-in-law ten taxes and five to raise military funds, and the soldiers and horses did not move food and grass first. Jiying wanted more brothers-in-law to help secretly over the years, and he must play for his brother-in-law. Now this one Dasheng, you don’t need to exploit your brother-in-law, instead of paying five out of ten taxes, you only need two out of ten taxes, and these two cents are the tax money for the escort to the capital, and I don’t want to be greedy for a cent.”

Zhuo Donglai frowned slightly, dissatisfied with the price: "I heard that the world was peaceful during the Han Dynasty, the emperor ruled by doing nothing, and the tax was one for thirty."

Wen Jiying: "The Han Dynasty is different from this Dynasty..."

Five minutes later, the two of them hadn't reached an agreement on the price, and Fourth Sister Wen snored a little while listening to all kinds of tax rates and tax systems quoted from classics.Yes, Ya really fell asleep with a big heart.

In the end, amidst low grunts, each of them took a step back, and the deal was settled at a price of ten tax one.Zhuo Donglai will explain it to the emperor for him, and Wen Jiying will also open the door for his commercial activities in the frontier - selling walnuts is also very profitable.

Zhuo Donglai endured until dawn the next day, and waited for her to wake up naturally. After waiting for a long time without waking up, he asked someone to bring a roast leg of lamb that had just been taken off the fire, and put it on the bedside table. I took a small fan and fanned it gently.

"Suck..." Fourth Sister Wen really woke up, closed her eyes and shouted, "Meat!"

Seeing that he succeeded, Zhuo Donglai threw down his fan: "Do you remember what we said last night?"

Fourth Sister Wen: "Uh... uh... um... what are we talking about? Let me think about it, ah, I remember you saying I'm not good-looking! You actually think I'm not good-looking! You think I'm not good-looking and you're still with me What are you doing for so many years! If you are not impressed by my beauty, but just want to use me, don't you find that I am self-willed and difficult to control?"

Zhuo Donglai sat down slowly beside him: "You were born with the appearance of a hero."

"Huh? Is this pretty or not?"

"It's pretty." Zhuo Donglai smiled and said, "Do you know that the treacherous officials throughout the ages are not like those on the stage, with their brows and mouse eyes, their necks shrunk and their accents. Only handsome and lovely people can become angry, and the emperor is not blind, which is disappointing." A person who is disgusting, no matter what he says is disgusting, a person with a gloomy face, when it comes to loyalty, filial piety and chivalry, others don't believe him.

Although the heroes of the rivers and lakes are stupid, they are not blind. They are most concerned with appearance and demeanor, and they cannot see deeper things.You were born dark, with heavy eyebrows and big eyes, broad shoulders and thick waist.A heroic look. "I don't know why, in my last life, when I laughed, others said I was a fake, but in this life... I was born in a gloomy way, and I look like a bad person at first glance.

Fourth Sister Wen asked confusedly: "Oh. There are many such people, why do you insist on praising me? With you, anyone can be used as a puppet by you."

Zhuo Donglai said: "...Because you are different."

The last time the emperor asked me why I was so loyal to him, I said that I was unreliable in appearance, and it was rare for someone to believe me, so he was satisfied.What else do you want to ask?

Fourth Sister Wen really asked, "How am I different?"

Zhuo Donglai sighed slightly, and looked at her sincerely: "I like you, that's why you are different."

Fourth Sister Wen nodded and forcibly ignored his answer: "There are not many girls in Jianghu who are as beautiful as me and have outstanding martial arts skills. Huh? Brother, generally speaking, it is more important to praise a man as a hero than a woman." easy, why are you"

Zhuo Donglai stood up: "Do you still remember how close we were when we first worked together. There are a lot of things to do today, if you have recovered, why not come with me to meet some friends and say a few words for Wen Jiying. He gave up a lot of benefits, and finally he has spare money to spend, what do you want to buy? Do you want to build a garden for you?"

At that time, you could understand me just by looking at me, you cooperated tacitly, and you understood my temperament and methods very well.At that time, we worked together and struggled to gain a foothold. You and I were in perfect harmony, so it was you.

When a time-traveling girl first entered the rivers and lakes, she had seen a lot of tricks in her previous life and was used to the sequelae of handsome villains.

Dilin from Zichuan, Mother Moriarty, Hannibal, Dongfang Invincible, Gong Jiu, I fucking like GAY villains!

It was the first time she was invited by Zhuo Donglai to rob together, and after hearing all his plans, a song rang in her mind:

Sensen's villain is my love~ The bad boss is in Yinren~

What kind of strategy is the coolest and the coolest~ What kind of robbery is the most enjoyable~

The crooked river comes from the sky~ the warehouse that flows to me is full of money~

Later, after going through the world, gradually matured, and got rid of the BUFFs of 'Doubi' and '2B', that's something later.

…………

In the early morning in the capital, the queen and Daiyu woke up one after another. The queen slept very sweetly, and she really liked being hugged to sleep.Daiyu didn't sleep very well, she slept alone since she was a child, and now she suddenly hugged someone, even though she was a sweet, fragrant, tender and soft beauty, she didn't sleep well.It was only in the middle of the night that she fell into a deep sleep, and when she woke up, the queen had already got up and dressed.

Daiyu sat up hurriedly and supported her forehead: "I woke up late, why didn't you call me?"

Zhao Rong said with a smile: "The empress can't bear to call you."

The queen sat in front of the vanity mirror and looked at her from the mirror: "What's the hurry? Erlang can only come over for breakfast after he goes to court. If the concubine doesn't come to pay his respects, you and I don't have to go to Fengsheng Palace to pay our respects. We won't sleep for another two minutes." Chi. I see that you slept soundly. It must be due to hard work and poor food and accommodation on the way. I will take you to the lake to feed the fish in the afternoon, how about it?"

Daiyu laughed: "That's interesting. Feed the fish? Sister-in-law has a new hobby?"

The queen smiled sweetly: "Erlang found a lot of carp, silver carp and crucian carp and put them in the pond. He planned to feed them for three years. The fat and fat ones he fed were ready to be eaten when he was born. He wants to eat the freshest ones. Look at his greediness." With that appearance, I really have to let him go out of the palace to visit friends some other day."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't you want to visit friends?"

The queen sighed: "I've been a vegetarian for the past few days, and I've resigned myself to my fate. I have to feed the fish every day, and hope the fish will sigh."

Daiyu was waited on and put on embroidered shoes, got up and put on her clothes, and said: "I brought some good melons and fruits back, oops, there is also a gift specially prepared for you, I forgot to bring it."

The businessman sent the carpet to the general's mansion. I came back in a hurry and forgot to bring the carpet. Master will bring it back, right?She took out a jade carving from her sleeve. It was a statue of a jade dancer made of mutton fat jade. The lines are smooth.

The queen took it over and took a look, turned it over and over carefully, and saw that the jade was white, oily and delicate, and said in surprise: "It's a good jade material, no less than 3000 taels, right?"

Daiyu continued to pull out her sleeves: "3000 taels, four, and a Persian carpet."

The queen's eyes turned cold, and she said in her heart: How much money has the Ministry of Internal Affairs embezzled from me!hateful!Annoyed!Damn it!

The emperor came back from the court and saw a small gift, which was a jade unicorn. His face darkened when he heard the price, and suddenly he laughed again: "Okay, okay, I just ran out of money again." Catching corrupt officials is like getting a red envelope~

The emperor left after eating with the jade unicorn in his pocket, thinking about who to send to arrest the corrupt officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and dig out the money.

The queen took Daiyu to swim in the lake, fed the fish one by one, and saw that she was tired from rest, and asked carefully: "Will Yao Sanlang behave on the way?"

Are you careful about your diet?

Why didn't the palace maid of Heart come back? Something happened to her?

There is blood on your scabbard, and the maid washed it for a long time but failed to wash the blood from the filigree. How many people have you killed?

Is it dangerous, is it hurt?

Why didn't Yao Sanlang know the principle of "serve his work" and asked you to draw your sword?Too inattentive.

Daiyu answered one by one, defended Yao Sanlang, and tried to weaken her bloody image.

They didn't make a call to the street!They didn't kill the general and capture the flag!

It's just an accident~ Don't scare the gentle and virtuous queen.

In the evening, the princess went home to visit her relatives, and stayed overnight in the Lin Mansion that night.

Jia Min chatted with her: "Your father has become the first assistant, and it will be easier for my niece and daughter to marry. I remember that Xue Baochai was your reading companion? Something happened in her family."

Daiyu was surprised: "What happened?" That was my little nephew.She has always been steady, what happened?

Jia Min sighed: "Her brother was being disciplined by her, and he was very progressive, but the former son married a daughter-in-law, who looked shrewd and capable, but as soon as she got through the door, the chaos was turned upside down. The two sisters-in-law sandwiched Xue Pan and beat him up." The world was turned upside down, and Mrs. Xue fell ill twice in shock."

Daiyu blinked: "With Baochai's ability, beating her brother and sister-in-law should not be a problem."

Jia Min shook his head: "You are different. She and her brother can't fight with Xia Jingui alone. The two of them can practice beating people, but his daughter-in-law cried, made trouble, and hanged herself. Now everyone in the capital doesn't laugh at Xue Jingui." Home."

The author has something to say: The queen is cute!

Really, many treacherous officials in history were good-looking, and the emperor was also a face-controller.

Baochai is finally coming out~
