Chapter 100: Lin Ruhai's Family Background
The emperor closed his eyes quietly, and Li Quan was about to leave quietly when he fell asleep, but saw him suddenly open his eyes.
The emperor waved his hand, Li Quan approached, listening to the emperor's orders, Li Quan's face remained unchanged, but his eyes became more and more surprised.
Although the second day was the day of the Great Dynasty, because the emperor was seriously ill, it was just a formality under the auspices of Zhang Shoufu, and he was about to leave, Li Quan announced two wills, like cold water into boiling oil, and instantly exploded.
The four princes were ordered to go to Jiangnan, and named the late Yanxun Yushi as the Duke of Wensu, and donated his family property with kindness, while the four princes presided over the Jiangnan endgame.
The six princes went to Shanxi to preside over disaster relief and help the people.
The two simple wills, the discerning people can see the emperor's intentions, and these two are probably choosing their successors.
Jia's family, Ningguo Mansion is closed to filial piety, in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Yu has always stayed at home, Jia Zheng is not qualified to go to the court, he can't go to the yamen on weekdays, and he came back early, so everyone in Rongguo Mansion didn't know anything until a day.
I didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow for a while, the abolished prince followed by Jia Yu, Jia Mu and Jia Zheng's optimistic prince Yide were not selected, but fortunately, there was also a fourth prince, Jia Yuanchun was in the palace of the four princes, so the original broken line was connected again, and Mrs. Wang was more valued.
But maybe she didn't believe in her vision, or maybe she wanted to have another way, Mrs. Wang quietly contacted the little edict of the Zhenguo Mansion at the suggestion of Jia's mother.
Before the action, with the affection of the same clan, Mrs. Wang also communicated with Ning Guofu, but Ning Guofu was still closed, and Mrs. Wang could only complain secretly.
On the other side, the four princes came to Jiangnan, got off the boat, and saw a man in a green coat and hat waiting in the company of a small servant.
The four princes came in small clothes, did not stay long, and followed the man in green clothes and hats on the carriage and horse, running all the way.
The fourth prince looked out of the car curtain, this is going to the center of the city, he knows that Jin Wuwei wants to be low-key, his cousin is not favored at home, if he goes out, he will definitely find a secluded place, curious and asked,
"Zining, where are we going?"
I saw that the man took off his hat, brilliant pearls, the warm climate in the south of the Yangtze River seemed to add a bit of mild feeling to him, even the narrow and dim carriage and horses also lit up, and the four princes smiled when they saw it,
"You look like this, no wonder you have to wear a bib like a woman, you used to walk outside, but someone threw fruit in the car?"
Jiang Zining frowned, thinking that when he first came, he was careless for a while, and he was looked at, and he was very surrounded by the ladies in the market for more than ten days.
He knew that the fourth prince would always laugh at his appearance because of his appearance, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
"Your Highness, we are going to the Salt Patrol Imperial History Mansion. ”
The fourth prince was puzzled, although he was ordered to announce the decree, he didn't want to go over immediately, what?
"Your Highness, Lin Ruhai has been operating in Jianghuai for many years, and he is not an ordinary person, I am afraid that I will know my news when I first arrived in Jiangnan, but I only called me over when I was about to die a month ago, and made a deal with me for this, or we made a deal, so I brought His Highness over!"
The fourth prince was surprised, judging from the news he learned, this Lin Ruhai was heavily poisoned and had long been unconscious, compared with his father's current appearance, he knew that Lin Ruhai could still plan like this before he died, which was really rare.
"What deal does he want to make?"
Jiang Zining said calmly, "He handed over the transaction to his confidant steward, and he didn't mention it to me, he only said it when he saw His Highness." ”
Jiang Zining has always paid attention to the relationship with the four princes, although the two are cousins, and because the four princes need to be taoguang and obscure, he is the only one available, plus his special status as Jin Wuwei, the relationship between the two is very close.
But Jiang Zining, as Jin Wuwei, knows very well that the six princes really don't admire power, and they are not the opponents of the four princes, so the future of the four princes can be expected, they are not brothers, but monarchs and ministers, and now the four princes rely on him, which does not mean that it will be like this in the future.
Therefore, when Lin Ruhai said that he wanted to trade, he directly refused, this is not what he should participate in, the old fox Lin Ruhai saw it clearly, smiled and never mentioned it again.
When the four princes heard this, they didn't say anything anymore.
Lin Ruhai has been diligent and cautious for many years in Huaiyang, and has been the master of the people.
The sound of whimpering and crying was endless.
It seems that someone had expected the arrival of the four princes and others, and a slave came early to lead the carriage and entered the house through the corner gate of the side room.
The noisy crying gradually faded away, and the fourth prince sighed in his heart, even though his father was not a thousand, but he promoted Lin Ruhai and gave him a nickname.
I don't know if I will be able to have such a loyal courtier to accompany me in the future? Turning his eyes to the side of the handsome voice and shadow, will he be his own Lin Ruhai?
Then a middle-aged man who was in mourning came over, claiming to be the manager of Lin, respectfully asked the four princes and Jiang Zining to say goodbye, and was going to take him to Lin Ruhai's study.
The fourth prince refused, and wanted to give Lin Ruhai incense first, and Steward Lin naturally readily agreed, and then took the two to the mourning hall.
In the mourning hall, there was only the hoarse crying voice of the childish and weak girl, the four princes knew that this was Lin Ruhai's widow and heir, everyone had pity, the four princes knew the pain of their father's loss, and they couldn't bear to see it, so they hurriedly put on incense and came out with a few words of comfort.
Steward Lin led him to the study, but he saw a young man dressed in filial piety who greeted him early.
"Greetings to the four princes. ”
I saw that this boy had a graceful eyebrow, and his accent brought Kyoto's words, and he was curious, but he didn't show it on his face, so he got up.
After everyone sat down, the young man claimed to be Lin Ruhai's wife and nephew, and Jia Lian, the grandson of the head of the Rongguo Mansion of the Jia family.
said, "Please also rest assured that the fourth prince will definitely take care of Sister Lin, and he will definitely not let her suffer half a grievance, besides," he said, took out a roll of account books from his sleeve, and said,
"The boy has worked diligently in the past two months, collected and sold the Lin family's property, and followed his uncle's last words to collect sixty percent of the family property to serve it to the court for disaster relief. ”
Although the fourth prince is not very favored, as a prince, there are still people who stutter, seeing him so attentive, where can he not be seen.
took a look at the account book in his hand, but he was shocked by this huge amount, a full 2.4 million silver, according to Jia Lian, this is only sixty percent, that is to say, Lin Ruhai's entire net worth is nearly four million taels. You must know that Zhejiang Nanzhi handed over only 3 million taels last year.
Jia Lian saw that he didn't speak, thinking that he was less disgusted, and was worried that he suspected him of corruption from it, so he hurriedly said it again and again.
"Your Royal Highness, the ancestor of Uncle Lin, once attacked the liehous, and now he is like the sea, and he has been the fifth generation. ”
