13. Divide and conquer
The emperor really had itchy hands and inscribed the Fan family, and the red sandalwood plaque was written with four golden characters "Hundred Years Fan".
After fasting and bathing, the head of the Fan family personally ascended and hung it on his own shop, and the gold and silver utensils he was rewarded with were offered in the ancestral hall for three days, and then locked in the treasury, and only on big days would they be taken out and put on display.
Later, the Fan family came to visit him, which is not surprising, because the kite was paid by Lin Ruhai, and even he was rewarded by the emperor.
Daiyu naturally saw the old lady of the Fan family in the upper room, and took her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to kowtow to Jia Min.
What they said Daiyu didn't listen carefully, but when she saw the little girl kneeling at the end, she knew that this was Fan Xinling, one of the dragon and phoenix fetuses of the Fan family, and she also had a younger brother named Fan Xinqiao. Before the emperor's reward, the most famous thing for the Fan family was that their daughter-in-law gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.
"Let me see, this is the sister of the twins, it's really good." Jia Min took a look, took off the bracelet on her hand and gave her a greeting gift. But I thought in my heart, whose parents gave birth to such a pair of children, and they were willing to send them out to be ruined. Zhu Chen's perverted thing that kills tens of millions of dollars is really inferior to a beast.
Lin Ruhai received the head of the Fan family in the study, and he fell to his knees with tears streaming down his face. Holding the deed of the Fan family's business in his hand, "Little Lao'er knows that this is not enough to repay the kindness of the adult, but this is the intention of the little Lao'er's family, if you don't accept it, the little old man will not be able to kneel for a long time." β
The Fan family's bloodline is not prosperous, and there are fewer and fewer generations than the next, and until now, they only have one grandchild. Seeing that he was about to grow up, he didn't know who was sent outside, saying that the Fan family had a pair of golden boys and girls with graceful bodies and the appearance of immortals.
This attracted Zhu Chen's covetousness, and he actually asked the Fan family to notify the Fan family and send a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses to the capital to serve the prince. Where did the Fan family respond, and they didn't know what to do, so they met Lin Ruhai and took their children to his house to watch kites. The head of the family, who was looking for a way but couldn't get it, suddenly guessed Lin Ruhai's identity, so there was something to follow.
The Fan family has generous gifts every year, and this time they will offer the shop where An Sheng has made his life, Lin Ruhai touched the beard on his chin, "Get up and talk again." β
A series of events disrupted Lin Ruhai's steps to ask her daughter for a husband. When he remembered this again, someone recommended a jinshi who was waiting for an officer to come to him.
Lin Ruhai felt good, and discussed with Jia Min when he went home. Jia Min listened to what Daiyu said before and wanted to find a female gentleman, but what Lin Ruhai said also made sense.
"The left and right daughters are still young, you really want to be a jinshi, and you will live in Yangzhou for a long time to be a teacher. Sooner or later, it's the turn of the vacancy, I just thought, after this village, there will be no such characters to enlighten Daiyu. Lin Ruhai fists and loves women.
Jia Yucun is talented and good-looking, and he talks well, if he becomes an official in the future. He is also Daiyu's enlightenment teacher, for his daughter, isn't it a guarantee of fame.
Jia Min also sensed this meaning, nodded and felt, "That's the truth, but the master also knows that Daiyu has always had the right idea, if she doesn't ask first, she is afraid that she will be unhappy." β
"It's nature." Lin Ruhai felt that her daughter would be happy, and shook the folding fan very easily.
Daiyu had already received the four treasures of the study sent by her mother, and Agarwood also sewed a bookbag for her, and even selected two little maids to accompany her. But Jia Yucun is definitely not her east wind, and Daiyu said that she would be happy.
"Mother, what do you mean by waiting for an officer." Daiyu heard Jia Min's relay, and only stared at the two words of the waiting officer and asked.
"It stands to reason that Jinshi is appointed by the Ministry of Officials, but if there is no vacancy, these people will have to wait." Jia Min explained carefully.
Daiyu has always felt that Lin Ruhai may not know that Jia Yucun had been dismissed. After all, the world is so big, who would know that a small magistrate was dismissed for greed and favoritism. In the final analysis, Jia Yucun's appearance is extremely deceptive, if you don't ask, I'm afraid it is really possible to be a gentleman.
pouted, "Then he has been waiting for a long time, hasn't he ever been an official?" It's pathetic. β
"I haven't inquired about this, but there are many people who have been the county magistrate for three years and are waiting for it. If Daiyu thinks it's good, she arranges for him to come to the museum. Jia Min touched her daughter's head, and like Lin Ruhai, she didn't think she would refuse.
"Hmm." Daiyu really had no reason to refuse. And she also changed her mind, since Jia Yucun can touch Lin Ruhai's side, even if she doesn't be her husband, it is very likely to please Lin Ruhai. For Lin Ruhai, sending him some silver taels and then helping him go to the ministry to say hello was just a gesture.
If he was left outside, it would be impossible for her to know about the relationship between him and Lin Ruhai. It's better to let him live in the Lin family to have a chance to expose his true colors.
As soon as Daiyu finished speaking, the curtain outside opened, and Su Zi said: "The aunts are all waiting outside, knowing that the lady is talking to the girl, and has been waiting." β
"Let them in." Jia Min opened her mouth, and four aunts in a row came in to give her benefits, and the last one in line was Mo Xiang.
Mo Xiang has never stopped getting up early to ask for peace since she carried her aunt, even if Jia Min sent someone in advance to say that she didn't need to come, she would definitely get up early and kowtow outside the door before leaving.
Once when it rained, she knelt directly in the rain and kowtowed, just when Lin Ruhai, who was about to go out, saw her, and when she turned around, she was rewarded with a box of good things, and the jealous Aunt Hao's eyes were red.
Since then, several aunts have also followed Mo Xiang to get up early to say goodbye. But Moxiang began to pay attention to embroidery work again, a pair of shoes today, a handkerchief tomorrow. She didn't listen to what she said, she just kept her head down and continued to be filial.
Today, I sent a pencil case, "I know that Miss wants to be enlightened, and Mrs. must be well prepared, just a little caution from the concubine, and please don't dislike Miss Don't Dislike it." β
"Look at you, what are you doing with such a lot of courtesy, she can still lack this." Jia Min took a look, the pattern of the green leaf white jade gourd, the stitches were dense, and it took a lot of effort at a glance. In the end, he smiled and asked Daiyu to accept it.
Several aunts looked at each other, and hurriedly said that they had also prepared a gift, and they would send someone to the young lady's room in a while. When she returned to her own room, Aunt Hao opened her mouth and scolded, saying that she was treacherous.
"Where have we learned these things, it's not like what Madame says. She was fine, and Madame said that she didn't need to ask her to leave, but in the end, she became filial, and we obedient people became what kind of people. Today it is like this again, holding us up, so that she can be the only one. β
Aunt Lu was embarrassed to say that she had reminded her that Mrs. didn't let them say goodbye, and she had to go. As a result, he was robbed by this cousin, so he had to follow her. Aunt Zhou is the most herd-goer, and when she saw that they didn't go, she also shrunk.
"The master likes to be obedient and sensible, so let's be the obedient and sensible, isn't it just to say goodbye? She would, wouldn't we. We will remember all the good days in the future, isn't it just embroidery, is she the only one who will do it? Aunt Lu followed her words and persuaded her to be angry.
"Obviously, in such a big house, the first few yards behind it are sealed, why can't we clean it up and give one to each of us. I want to squeeze here, I can smell it next door when I fart, I'm really embarrassed. Aunt Hao began to complain again.
Aunt Lu didn't have the courage to do so, "Madame, maybe she's busy." β
"Hmph, it's different to have a baby." After saying that, I hugged my belly, and hated why I couldn't conceive one.
Aunt Lu sighed, she had served Lin Ruhai for more than ten years, watching how Jia Min married into the Lin Mansion with ten miles of red makeup, and how she could make peace with the old man by chanting poems and playing the piano and chess. knows very well that their husband and wife are in love, no matter how many concubines there are, it is impossible for the master to go to his heart.
The cousin was admitted to the house when the lord was most eager to have children, so he was naturally favored by the lord, and the lady was also kind to them. The latter lady had children, and except for not allowing them to go to the room to ask for peace, she never harsh them in life or words. So my cousin still has naΓ―ve delusions in her heart, and Aunt Lu can see it clearly, but she just doesn't want to break it.
Aunt Hao has always been compared with Aunt Mo, if the master goes to Aunt Mo more times than she comes here, it will be overturned. I didn't dare to entangle with the master, but the next day I would definitely find a way to stab Aunt Mo a few words. Aunt Lu persuaded her a few times, but found that she couldn't be persuaded so she had to let her go.
"Madame said that she would clean up the yard and let it go out for the aunts to live in." Xiaohuan came in from outside and interjected.
"Really, fake." Aunt Hao jumped up for joy when she heard this.
"I heard it from the mouth of the little girl who was on an errand in the upper room, it should be true." Xiaohuan was temporarily bought and brought in by Aunt Hao when she was about to enter the door, and the two of them usually got along well like this.
"If it's true, I'll give you the golden step you've been coveting for a long time." Aunt Hao's face was red with a smile, and asked Xiaohuan to hurry up and inquire again.
Jia Min was indeed cleaning up the yard, and Aunt Hao found an opportunity to take a sneak look, and she began to remember it at this glance. I thought all day long that if I could live in such a good yard, this life would be worth it. Please An has also become diligent, and if the lord stays overnight, he will inevitably hint a few words.
Everyone watched her jump up and down, and even the agarwood in Daiyu's house secretly laughed, "That person's head is thinner than kite paper, that is, he has met our wife's good nature." β
"Look at your damage, isn't it just a yard, the lady has cleaned it up, can you still give them a place to live." Mama Wang glanced back at Daiyu who was asleep, and saw that her eyelids moved, so she quickly silenced.
Jia Min finally gave the new yard to Aunt Hao and Aunt Lu, and in compensation, she rewarded Mo Xiang and Aunt Zhou with two pieces of Western cloth each newly sent from Jinling.
In the evening, he said to Lin Ruhai: "The yard has been divided, let Aunt Hao and her two sisters live in the newly cleaned yard." After all, she is the daughter of a good family, and she is also a girl who grew up with a spoiled person, she doesn't have any city thoughts, and she likes everything on her face. I think since she likes it so much, she just got her wish, sir. β
"Madame, just arrange it." Lin Ruhai had long been fed up with Aunt Hao's hint that she was not smart enough, and she was relieved to hear her move out.
"The two aunts who stayed behind each gave two horses of material, and let them plant new clothes to wear for the lord to see."
"Madame has always been thoughtful, I talked to Mr. Jia, and he brought his luggage the day after tomorrow." In Lin Ruhai's heart, the matter of being a daughter is more important.
