CHAPTER XXII
Min'er also thought of it. We have offended many people in Yangzhou, including the Zhen family, which has intricate forces. If not, where did you get to be a stab in the street? I'm Chao. The court officer, the current imperial decree personally refers to the imperial history of the salt patrol, to put it mildly, it can be regarded as a party official. After glancing at it, Jia Min, who tilted his head to look at himself, felt soft in his heart, and the meaning of joking still rose, "Hehe, he is also the fast son-in-law of Jackie Chan of the Royal Rongguo Mansion." ”
Jia Min called out "Master" angrily. The jade fingers, which are as white as shallots, are clenched into fists. Jia Min gently slapped Lin Ruhai's shoulder a few times.
He didn't dare to exert himself, for fear of hurting him. I didn't dare to beat more, for fear that I would feel distressed.
Lin Ruhai laughed twice, patted Jia Min soothingly, and then continued: "Before you want to move me, you will always be a little scrupled. But this time, the assassination fell cleanly, missed the blow, and immediately retreated. At first glance, it is not a temporary idea. Behind this, there is another contest of interests. Again, the water in the south of the Yangtze River is too deep, and in the future, several parties will play a game, and they will definitely implicate one or two. If you stay in Jiangnan, you will always be governed by others. So Jiangnan is not a place to live for a long time.
If my expectations are not bad, and the song is folded into the eyes of Banzai, there will definitely be a reward, and when we settle in the capital, it is for the sake of the face of the saint, and the forces of all parties will also be scrupulous. When Brother Que is nominated for the gold list, it will be the time for my Lin family to make a comeback. "There are so many nobles in the capital, who would pay too much attention to him, the outdated former salt patrol imperial history. But Jiangnan is different.
Not to mention anything else, he is originally from Jiangnan, and Jiangnan has more connections than other places and others. As long as he lives, his classmates and fellow students, as well as his wife's family, are all a big network. If these forces are more connected, it will be a great help. This is not counting the huge industry accumulated by the Lin family for several generations.
Therefore, the possibility of being co-opted accounts for a few more points. At that time, no matter who the Lin family turns to, they will offend several other forces. If no one takes refuge, it will really provoke the anger of the public. provoked those forces, and these people would think that 'they can't be friends, they can only be enemies' or 'ruined and won't give others a chance to take advantage', and their Lin family has really become the target of public criticism.
He has been an official for many years, so he naturally knows how much news is blocked in remote places far away from the capital. Murder and goods, fire extinguished, and in the end, it was just a sentence of 'the weather is dry, not very watery' and the case was hastily closed.
He can't afford such a risk.
If you can't afford to provoke it, you can only hide.
And the highest level of hiding is to hide in the public.
After entering the capital, no matter how the Yue family is, they will have that three-point incense. In addition, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, all forces are watching, doing more and making more mistakes. The emperor is in one day, and their Lin family is safe. If one day, the emperor goes west, and the new emperor is busy liquidating those ministers who have already stood in line, and he can't take care of them, the Lin family, who no one has taken refuge in.
A short period of dormancy does not mean eternal sinking.
He still has children in the Lin family, so he won't really be defeated. His brother Que inherited the advantages of their husband and wife's ability to read, although he was two years younger than his daughter, but he had no lot of energy to read.
As soon as he could read and write, he looked for books to read by himself.
In the future, it will definitely shine on the lintel.
He Lin Ruhai also has a son, and his son will give birth to grandchildren. As long as the bloodline continues, the Lin family will not really be out of the ordinary.
Their Lin family will come back one day. Return to the land of the rise of the ancestral homeland.
Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai smiled again, "Min'er has been married for many years and has not been in the capital, this time, we can move our family into the capital, and we can also relieve the pain of missing relatives." You haven't seen your mother-in-law for many years, and you must have missed it so much. ”
Jia Min grinned, a little unnatural. The Zhen family and her mother's family have been relatives for several lifetimes, and after the master's accident, she didn't think about these things. But when the master said it bluntly, there was always some embarrassment.
Does his mother's family have no influence on the Zhen family?
Or is it that she, a foreign-married girl, has actually lost part of the protection of her mother's family.
Before her son was born, she felt close to and missed her mother's family. But this close longing is wearing out day by day.
Thinking of the past two years, my mother opened her mouth and closed her mouth to talk about the treasure jade of her second brother's family. Manxin Paper's dissatisfaction with the change of the East Mansion court. There is also the disappointment of Yuanchun, the expectation of her husband's promotion, and Daiyu's marriage
Zhou Rui's words have always been in my ears. thought that if Daiyu really married into the Jia family, wouldn't she really have to live under the second sister-in-law.
's mother is long-lived, and she can take care of Daiyu for a few years. After that, wouldn't the second sister-in-law have to get worse.
The mother-in-law's methods for pinching her daughter-in-law are diverse and endless. No matter what you do, you have a natural advantage.
Her daughter,... Gotta find someone who doesn't have a mother-in-law. Just like you were at the beginning.
What also puzzled Jia Min was the matter of Ning Guofu. It was a matter of course and law, but her mother didn't think so.
In fact, what makes Jia Min even more incomprehensible is that Ning Guofu and Rong Guofu are two families who have five suits after all. Even if there are no five suits, it is not a family. Why is my mother so anxious and angry about other people's affairs?
Ningguo Mansion, which is now renamed Dongjia Mansion, is headed by Jia Rong, the son of her cousin's son. Her cousin grandchildren. That is, the mother's great-cousin grandson. In fact, this relationship is a lot farther away. Mother also thinks that the people in the East Mansion ignore her as an elder, which is too much affection.
and their Rongguo Mansion, although they have a sign, but in fact, it has long been gone. When the plaque was changed in Dongfu, didn't my mother think about how the people in the capital looked at their Rongguo Mansion?
What an embarrassing thing! How do you say it behind your back?
Jia Min twisted the handkerchief in his hand slightly, and thought of his eldest brother for many years, but he never stayed in the main house one day. And the second brother's family is a dove occupying the magpie's nest.
How could my mother turn a blind eye to such a thing?
Jia Min couldn't figure it out.
In the long run, how can the contradiction between the eldest brother and the second brother be easily resolved. Brotherly discord, the beginning of separation. And the inner curtain is not clean, and the family is in trouble.
At the beginning, her mother had taught her this, how did she get to this day
"What my husband said is that I recently arranged for the housekeeper to go to Beijing to clean up the old house. The house has been uninhabited since it got married, and it has been uninhabited for more than ten years, and I don't know what it has become dilapidated. ”
After Jia Min and Lin Ruhai got married, Lin Ruhai went out of Beijing as an official, although the house was watched by two families, but the house where no one lived always lost a little popularity. Rundown is for sure.
"You can do these things. I don't care anymore. "Jia Min's housekeeper is a good hand, which also makes Lin Ruhai, who is already angry, even more ignorant of these things.
After the husband and wife talked, they were both busy. Lin Ruhai's physical condition was very bad, so he only received the work of teaching his son enlightenment and cleaning up the books at home.
And at this time, Jia Min exerted her super tenacity as a woman. While sending people to the capital to repair the old house in Beijing, he sent people to pack up all the things at home.
Finally, I have to post to some officials and eunuchs who have a good relationship.
What are you doing when you're so busy and want to invite these people to your door?
It turned out to be some of the Lin family's industries in Yangzhou and Suzhou that had to be sold.
Jia Min thought about putting it on the market all at once, which would only drive down the price of these farms. So I looked for a day and invited these official wives into the house to see who had needs. The rest is then taken outside to be sold.
The Lin family's property, because it was purchased early, is located in a good size. In addition to leaving Daiyu's dowry field and the inheritance needed by Brother Que to inherit the ancestral property in the future, Jia Min is ready to sell all of them. After all, if it is far away, it will be very 'inconvenient' in management.
The ladies invited by Jia Min are all face-saving, and they will not be too low in price. And this kind of thing is a mutually beneficial thing. After all, such things are actually common in officialdom.
After three years of evaluation, many officials will not necessarily stay in the local area, and those properties that have been purchased in office will have to be sold again, either to relatives and friends, or to colleagues. This is something that has been agreed upon in officialdom.
They bought good things, and Jia Min could also have a more reasonable income.
When Jia Min did this, he always took Lin Daiyu with him.
Lin Daiyu is six years old this year, and it's time to learn housekeeping. Although when Jia Min was in charge of the house, Lin Daiyu would be brought on before, but this kind of systematic learning was not available.
Lin Daiyu, who is young, but in good health, and accompanied by her younger brother, has not yet seen the flowers crying, and the melancholy literary young man who sees the moon is sad.
So, like an absorbent sponge, she absorbs the life knowledge that her mother taught her.
Mother is so hard, she wants to help her mother.
and the housekeeper's mother is so majestic.
In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away.
is like a female general who scolds Fang Xuan and points out the country
Make people admire and want to emulate.
Therefore, children are innocent and innocent. I always like to imitate the behavior of those close to me. And some of the behaviors of those close to him, in the eyes of children, have also become a kind of imitation, a 'role model' to follow.
If Jia Min lost his son in the original book, and was seen by Lin Daiyu when he was sad every day, would he also feel that Jia Min who was immersed in grief had a thrilling and weak beauty
Perhaps, that is also a kind of beauty that Daiyu experienced later.
has been busy until a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor's will was finally sent to Yangzhou quickly.
Lin Ruhai retired from his post because of his political achievements and was injured in the line of duty. Therefore, the emperor not only approved Lin Ruhai's invitation, but also specially awarded Lin Ruhai the title of a third-class earl. He gave 'Ning Yuanbo' and allowed him to be hereditary for two generations.
After Xichun heard about it, he felt that this emperor was quite stingy, and two generations of hereditary replacement, if Lin Ruhai's generation was counted, there would be only one Lin Que left. After Lin Que, like Rongguo Mansion and other families, one generation after another.
But in any case, with this title, the Lin family's life in the capital will be much more stable.
From the moment he received the holy decree, Lin Ruhai officially carried out a thorough handover of the officials who succeeded him. And made the handover text jiàn into triplicate. One is kept for the official department, one is kept for himself, and the other is given to the successor official. After a while, the Lin family is also ready to go to Beijing at any time.
However, the Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, so you can't let the whole family spend the holiday on the boat.
