Who can be in the same room with the Thirteenth Master, who can make the Thirteenth Master lose all the way and not dare to say anything, Jia Min can understand, the cold manager can understand, Lin Ruhai can naturally understand better.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai's forehead broke out with fine sweat, what kind of danger did the nobles take in the sky. What happened, how could he afford to take responsibility, and the officials of the entire Yangzhou could not afford to take this responsibility.

I wanted to see the Thirteenth Master act, let him be frustrated by others and then offer gold and silver, but at this time, it was not appropriate to see that this move was inappropriate.

At the reception banquet that night, the thirteenth master had three cups of belly, and he personally opened his mouth to explain his intentions, "The war situation in the northwest is becoming increasingly tense, and I am ordered by the emperor to raise money and food, Jiangnan is a rich place, and I hope that all the adults will help you." ”

After speaking, he swept around the people present, and everywhere he swept, they all bowed their heads and lowered their eyes, and no one dared to look at him. My heart sank, and I finally understood what the fourth brother said, this trip is difficult, and it is difficult to win without surprises.

No, there was a smile and a stroking beard, glanced at him, and then said loudly: "That is, for the country and the people, you should do your best." It's a pity that the official's family background is thin, only 5,000 taels, a little expression. As he spoke, the chief behind him stepped forward and handed the wooden box to the attendant beside the thirteenth master.

The officials present all scolded Lin Ruhai in their hearts, but on the surface, they did not dare to slack off, and many people expressed their positions again and again and were in the process of preparation. With the officials taking the lead, what else can the squire say, just wait for the banquet to ask about the situation, and take as little as possible if he can.

As soon as the banquet ended, the chamberlain leaned down to the ear of the thirteenth master, "Master, what Lord Lin gave is 50,000 taels." ”

Fifty thousand is said to be five thousand, and the thirteenth master first smiled, and then stroked his palms and laughed, "What a Lin Ruhai ......"

As soon as he dispersed, Lin Ruhai was dragged away by the prefect, and several people were waiting for him to ask for an explanation.

Lin Mansion was not affected by the officialdom and chaos, the three children played together, Daiyu was well-behaved and intelligent, never added to the chaos, Hongyun was generous and responsible, and knew the feelings of taking care of others, Jingyu was innocent and recognized the most powerful Hongyun, and obeyed his words.

After listening to Su Zi's report, Jia Min breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm still worried that the royal children will be willful and difficult to get along with, but I didn't expect that this elder brother would follow him Amma." ”

"It's also that Mrs. taught me well, and I voted for someone else's fate." Su Zi's compliment made Jia Min feel ironed in his heart, and he relied more and more on this big girl.

From beginning to end, the fourth master did not appear, and it is said that the thirteenth master was very satisfied with the effect of going south this time, and he went back with the silver ticket very happily.

In the backyard of the Lin family, Jingyu's big wet eyes were full of tears, hugging Brother Hongyun's waist, crying liver and intestines. Daiyu smiled on the side, "Brother Hongyun wants to go home to see his mother, Jingyu, if you continue like this, you will stain Brother Hongyun's clothes." ”

"Mama does." Four-year-old Jingyu is far less than his sister Daiyu, who is only one year older than him, but everyone understands that he is really reluctant.

"When we Jingyu grow up, let's go to Jinling to see Brother Hongyun, okay." Daiyu persuaded and Hongyun assured, Jingyu hesitated slightly, and was decisively hugged by Mama Jin.

"Sister, if you have anything you want, I'll send it to you when I get back." Hongyun watched his subordinates busy packing up their things, turned sideways and stood a little closer and asked.

"Not really...... Oh, yes, there's a real thing. After he stood closer, Daiyu lowered his head, and unintentionally saw a piece of mutton fat jade hanging from his waist, half of the moon and the window lattice with entwined lotus, thinking that if there was another cluster of flowers, it would really be a good match for a flower and a full moon.

"Whatever happens, I'll do it for you." Hongyun patted his chest and assured like a little man.

Daiyu withdrew her gaze from his jade pendant and said, "Father is looking for a gentleman for us, but there has been no suitable candidate. ”

"What's so hard about this, it's on me." Hongyun's chest slapped on the mountain sound, and when he saw Sister Lin pursing her lips and laughing, she also laughed with Hehe.

Lin Ruhai couldn't help but be surprised when she learned that her daughter asked Hongyun to find her husband, and lowered her head and asked, "How did you think of looking for him." ”

Is he too busy and delaying his daughter's studies, so he is angry? But there is no way, since Jia Yucun left, how many people have crowded their heads to recommend him, but with the experience of the previous time, he always has to choose carefully. I was going to start immediately when the thirteenth master left, but I didn't expect my daughter's hand to be fast.

"Because of my brother." Daiyu pointed at Jingyu, she is a woman, anyone can teach. But Jingyu can't, he is the only male in the Lin family, and he will take the road of imperial examinations in the future. Even if the scientific examination is unfavorable, it is also necessary to enter the official career with the shadow seal.

What if it's the second Jiayu Village?

If it is a talent, it is not good, and most of the talents who are left behind in the countryside and cannot be used by the court are a little cynical and extreme. has not been tempered by reality, and there is a kind of naivety that does not write about the world. For Jingyu, there are many harms but no benefits.

The official career is not spelling and painting, and reciting a poem can rule the country and the world in peace. Lin Ruhai knows this best.

From Jinling, from the Elder Brother's Mansion, even if he is just a doorman, at least he has a little more realistic thinking and understanding of the current situation and the world.

The more Lin Ruhai thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good thing, but was what he thought really what Daiyu thought? He looked at his daughter, saw her patting her younger brother's head, and coaxed: "In the future, if you have a gentleman invited by Brother Hongyun, you can correspond with him every day." ”

So that's the case, even if the daughter just wants her younger brother to maintain a good relationship with her brother, this intelligence is rare. Lin Ruhai thought he understood, and said with satisfaction: "Then according to Daiyu, we will sweep the couch and wait." ”

On the boat back to Jinling, the three of them were in the same room as when they came, but there were a bunch of files. A middle-aged man holds a dossier and reads it with devotion. The thirteenth master on the other side was teasing his son, "So, you agreed to Luo." ”

"Of course I agreed, Amma will help me." Hongyun took advantage of the fact that the thirteenth master was not paying attention, and hid a white child in the chessboard.

"Help, why don't you help, if you don't help, my chess pieces will be stolen."

The father and son giggled at such a scene, and the man on one side was used to watching it. As usual, he shook his head with a smile, suddenly closed the file, and turned his head.

"What did Hongyun say, Miss Lin asked you to help their sister and brother hire a gentleman?"

Hongyun didn't dare to be so casual with this imperial uncle as he was with his own Amma, and stood up when he heard this, "Exactly." ”

"This Lin Ruhai is interesting." Obviously, they took this as Lin Ruhai's meaning.

"I found it interesting, too." The Thirteenth Master thought of the box of silver disrupting the calculations of Yangzhou officialdom, and felt funny, although he couldn't figure out why Lin Ruhai would suddenly help him.

"Look here." The man pointed to the file about the Fan family's kite.

"Fourth brother, are you saying that the kite presented by the Fan family turned out to be Lin Ruhai's idea, in order to fight with the prince."

Sure enough, this middle-aged man is the fourth master who went down to Yangzhou with the thirteenth master this time, but was hidden in the shadows.

"It can only be said that the prince was careless in employing people, and he did not adjust the relationship between his subordinates in time. It is really unwise to hurt the heart of a big man for a companion who doesn't know how to be thrifty. The fourth master had just finished commenting, and suddenly his fingers hit the table.

"This silver, so it is, so it is."

"What is so, the fourth brother gave me a chance again."

"It's nothing, I'm afraid the prince will find us trouble when I go back, are you afraid?" The fourth master smiled, obviously, he was not afraid.

"Cut, I'm not afraid." The thirteenth master tilted his head, and his face was full of young energy, fearless.

Hongyun, who was sitting alone on the chessboard, sneaked the chess pieces into the palm of his hand and threw them into the unfinished chess box. Then he quietly took his eyes to look at Amma, and when he saw that no one had noticed, he snickered with joy.

Time slipped by, and the gentleman sent from Jinling had been in the Lin family for almost a year. Daiyu kept counting the days, and Jia Min would rush over as soon as he had a headache and brain fever. Jia Min only regarded her daughter as filial piety, and she did not doubt him.

"Madam, Aunt Mo gave the brown sugar cake to the maids again." A servant woman bowed.

"Got it, haven't you called Lang Zhong yet?"

"Nope."

"I don't know about the bento." Jia Min let Su Zi reward him, put his hand on his forehead, and showed a smile.

"Madame is still happy for her?" Su Zi pouted, these aunts, what do you think of Mrs.

"Why are you unhappy, the old man's heirs are thin, if nothing else, I have to be happy for the master. Let people stare at it, she doesn't care what she wants, but she can't toss the child away. ”

"Yes." Su Ziying should go down, and understand in his heart that the pregnancy of a concubine does not hinder the main mother of anything, let alone the main mother who has all her children. What she wants to make a fuss about is naturally another pair of good sisters who have shared her favor.

Aunt Hao was anxious to find Aunt Lu, "This matter can't be delayed, my eyelids are jumping these days, and I always feel that something is going to happen." ”

"Tonight, then."

"Okay."

That night, Aunt Hao personally went out and intercepted Lin Ruhai in the middle of the road, and the sisters were eating and drinking around the master, and they made a drinking order, which made Lin Ruhai happy, and when she was about to be wrapped, Xiaohuan came in and spoiled the scenery.

"Auntie, a letter from home."

"Bring it quickly." Aunt Hao is the daughter of a commoner and knows a few words. often has correspondence with his family, these letters Lin Ruhai has seen once in a while, and the big characters are written like reptiles, so he couldn't help laughing at that time.

"They knew that they were ugly, and they even asked Xiucai to write a letter." Aunt Hao took out the letter paper in front of everyone, with a small hand, and she looked presentable.

"How's it going at home?" Aunt Lu was illiterate, and asked while pouring wine for the master.

"Xiaohuan, where did this letter come from and how did it come from? Why are these words still the same, I can't understand them at all. "Aunt Hao is very curious.

"The letter sent in by Ermen and Aunt Mo was also sent from Jinling."

"Ah, it must be a fork, I'll just say, how can there be such a scholar in our family, the text is written, and I can't understand it." Aunt Hao smiled, turned her head to look at the master, and smiled like a flower.
