"Do they really regard Jiangnan as their own? Huh?"
"Just a dozen small salt merchants have so much silver! What about the big corrupt officials behind them! Where are the big salt merchants? Aren't they richer than my treasury!!"
"They all deserve to be killed! They all deserve to be killed! The nine tribes should be punished!!"
Emperor Longqing was furious after receiving Lin Ruhai's discount. Veins popped up on his forehead, and he cursed loudly in the imperial study room.
Emperor Longqing picked up the teacup with his lower hand and was about to smash it down, but suddenly put it back. Because there was no money in the treasury, Emperor Longqing was reluctant to waste any money.
After a while, Emperor Longqing regained his composure and said: "Reply to Lin Ruhai and ask him to protect the stolen money. Now is the time when money is needed. I will send Jin Yiwei to Yangzhou to assist him.
"
"In addition, you should pay more attention to the distinguished nobles in the capital, select a few who are serious, and put them in a prison for me. I will kill the chickens to scare the monkeys!"
Xia Shouzhong saluted and obeyed the order, then went down to draft the order.
Emperor Longqing tried hard to calm his rapid breathing, but he couldn't calm down.
After a while, he even started to feel a splitting headache. However, it got much better after a while, so Emperor Longqing just thought it was caused by his anger, so he didn't pay attention.
If Xue Hong were here, she would be wary. After all, there are not many long-lived emperors in Zhu Di's lineage!!
I don’t know whether it was the five dragons who lived together in the same dynasty that consumed all the lifespan of the Ming Dynasty royal family, or whether there was some genetic problem.
But it was clear that Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely tough. He was tired every day and was half dead but he could still live for more than seventy years!
What Emperor Longqing didn't know was that sometimes things he didn't care about would eventually become uncertain factors...
…
In Jia's house, Jia's mother sent people to the dock early in the morning to wait early, because today is the day when Jia Lian and Daiyu return to Beijing.
No matter how partial Jia Mu is to Jia Baoyu, Jia Mu is really good to Daiyu.
As soon as Jia Baoyu heard that Daiyu was coming back, he didn't even go to school and stayed in Rongxi Hall. With Jia Mu's protection, Jia Zheng couldn't do anything to him, so he finally waved his sleeves and said harsh words and left.
Wang Xifeng was also dressed neatly and waiting together in the Hall of Rongxi.
Finally, when it was almost noon, the maids outside came to report: "Second Master Lian and Miss Daiyu are back!"
Jia Lian first went to the front hall to meet his father and Jia Zheng, so the only people who entered the Rongxi Hall were Daiyu, her two personal maids and a nanny.
As soon as Daiyu came in, Jia Baoyu went crazy.
Because of Lin Ruhai's recovery, Daiyu's mood improved greatly, and Xue Hong's medicine helped Daiyu's health improve.
Daiyu's face is no longer pale, but has blood color, and she is more like an exquisite beauty. Although she still has a romantic attitude, she is no longer sickly.
Daiyu: "My granddaughter has met our ancestors."
Jia Mu said repeatedly: "Okay! Okay! Okay! My Yu'er, you are back! You have suffered along the way! Your little face has become thin."
Facts have proved that there is a kind of thinness that makes your elders think you are thin.
Don't you see how Baoyu's face looks like? Mother Jia still thinks he is thin!
Jia Mu hugged Daiyu and looked at her carefully, fearing that a hair was missing.
Jia Baoyu stretched out his big face, leaned in front of Daiyu and said, "Sister, I don't know, but since you left, I haven't thought about food or tea. Now that you are back, I feel at ease."
"Now that you are back, we can live together, eat together, and play together."
Daiyu said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Brother Bao, my father said that you and I are not too young now. We should abide by the etiquette and cannot live in the same yard anymore."
As soon as these words came out, Jia Mu's face changed for a moment, but then she recovered and said with a smile: "What do I think? They are just children and biological brothers and sisters, so why not live together? But since they are like the sea
Say, that's fine. Yu'er, just move out of Baoyu's yard, and our ancestors will give you a better yard."
Daiyu: "Thank you grandma..."
Baoyu refused and said, "Sister, why don't you live with me! Ever since I met my sister, I have eaten, lived and played together! But now we have to separate!"
Mother Jia consoled her: "Your uncle comes from a scholarly family and the most important thing is rules. In this case, it's not good to go against his wishes."
Jia Mu's purpose was very clear, and there was only a long way to go. Since Lin Ruhai was not dead, there was no need to do things so decisively. Anyway, she was confident in promising Daiyu to Baoyu with her identity as Daiyu's grandmother.
What's more, Daiyu and Baoyu have lived in the same courtyard since childhood, and it has been spread. Even if nothing happened between the two, few people are willing to marry Daiyu.
Unexpectedly, Baoyu cried, made trouble, and hanged himself because he wanted to live with Daiyu.
But no matter what Baoyu did, Jia Mu would not let go. For the sake of long-term planning, she could not hate Lin Ruhai anymore and could not make things happen.
Unexpectedly, Baoyu's face was ferocious. He violently pulled off the psychic treasure jade from his chest and threw it away. He cursed in his mouth: "Why bother Lin Ruhai? A silverfish is going to separate Sister Lin and me! I might as well die!"
Just when Baoyu was about to throw the jade, Daiyu shouted coldly: "Brother Bao is so rude!"
"My father was deeply favored by the emperor and headed the Jiangnan salt administration on behalf of the emperor. He was originally serving the country and the people, but how did he become a silverfish in Brother Bao's mouth?"
"As soon as I came back today, Brother Bao got very angry. But he dislikes his sister and wants to drive her away?"
"If that's the case, then I'd better pack my things and go back to Yangzhou!"
As he spoke, tears fell down.
Baoyu panicked all of a sudden and quickly lowered his head and made a small apology.
And Jia Mu was relieved when she saw that Baoyu didn't fall into jade.
All the female relatives comforted Baoyu.
Mrs. Wang, on the other hand, secretly looked at Daiyu with evil eyes: "She is indeed a troublemaker! She made my precious jade fall as soon as she came back. Look how confused she is!"
Mrs. Wang has never seen Baoyu be so down to anyone. She has always believed that her son has great fortune, so she cannot tolerate Daiyu being bigger than Baoyu!
While Daiyu was crying, she could not help but secretly compare Baoyu and Xue Hong.
At such a young age, he is already a master of medicine, and he has superb medical skills and treats people like a spring breeze.
On the other hand, Baoyu...
"You can't think like this, Brother Bao is still young..."
But in the end, the long-term brother-sister relationship with Baoyu took over, causing Daiyu to comfort herself and Baoyu slowly forgiven her.
But the so-called:
Seeking sorrow and hatred for no reason, sometimes he seems as stupid as crazy; even though he was born with a good skin, his belly turns out to be rough.
How can Jia Baoyu's character as a demon king be changed? It's easy to change a country's nature, but it's hard to change it.
Cracks have appeared, water has accumulated into abyss, soil has accumulated into mountains, and the day when the true face of Baoyu can be seen clearly, how can it be far away...
