10. Tenth round
Yuan Chun's meritorious service was awarded, and Lin Hai is probably not a secret, and he will have the opportunity to meet the Nine Emperor Princes and ask in the future.
As the right attendant of the Sanpin Household Department of the Holy Lord, the third in command of the Household Department, from the perspective of the prince, it is also worth befriending with his heart.
Saying that Yuan Chun was the concubine, Lin Hai also had to prepare a gift and send it to the Rong Mansion. When there was such a happy event in Ningrong and the two mansions, it was natural to set up a banquet and invite relatives and friends to come and sit and have fun.
However, this time is also a coincidence, and Lin Hai should bring his daughter Daiyu over to join in the fun. If you wait for Lin Hai's new daughter-in-law to get married, it is not good for Rong Fu to send a post directly to Lin Hai...... In the future, I have to deal with Daiyu in the name of caring about Daiyu.
Thinking of this, Lin Hai found something to do for his daughter, "Girl, the matter of preparing the gift will be handed over to you, don't let that side pick out the wrong." After thinking about it, he told Daiyu about the disunity between Jia Min and Mrs. Wang, "Your mother didn't deal with your second aunt before she got married." β
Daiyu snorted, "You know this, too?" β
"Who is good for your mother and who is bad for you, why can't I know?" Lin Hai flicked his daughter's forehead, "So you always feel a little uncomfortable living there in the Rong Mansion, and people like to talk nonsense." If there is no acquiescence from the wife above, which family will chew the root of the young lady's tongue? Your second aunt may not want to harm you, but she is probably happy to see you suffer a small loss. β
This is purely Lin Haixin's mouth, and he also knows that Jia Min and Mrs. Wang are not compatible.
As for why they can't get along, Jia Min, a well-informed and reasonable princess of the Guogong Mansion, has to be able to get along with a sister-in-law who doesn't know a few big characters.
But Lin Hai's "well-founded" words directly persuaded Daiyu: Daddy and aunt, who should hesitate to listen?
Daiyu nodded and said, "My daughter can save it." β
The father and daughter didn't deliberately lower their voices when they spoke, Ai Lu guarded the house, and there were Zhuqing and Zijuan outside - Zhuqing and Ai Lu were both born to the Lin family, so they naturally didn't have to say anything about their loyalty, but Zijuan couldn't sit still.
To say that the purple cuckoo from the old lady's house will be biased towards Mrs. Wang, that is absolutely nothing. But from my aunt's place, no, I should call the master, I heard that the reason why the master and the Rong Mansion were separated...... Zijuan was uneasy, so she thought about finding an opportunity to send a message to the old lady.
Although the old man has unloaded the lack of salt patrol imperial history, there is no news, but Zijuan firmly believes that if the saint does not want to reuse the master, why do you have to be a matchmaker in person?
Lin Hai didn't mind Zijuan sending some news to the Rong Mansion - this little thing was also mentioned by Lin Da after taking the big and small stewards to Lin Poster about this year's harvest.
Daiyu was sitting under her father at this time.
It is said that Lin Hai is a modern person after all, no matter how many children he has in the future, politics ~ governance ~ resources are another matter, but the family property will definitely be divided equally, so he asked Daiyu to follow him to listen to the accounts and learn to take care of his own industry.
It is also interesting to say, her daughter was named a concubine, and Mrs. Wang consciously raised her eyebrows, but it was her husband Jia Zheng's subordinates who came to congratulate and flatter her in the past few days...... None of my colleagues' families came...... As for the old friends, they are polite and also polite, but the attitude of several people is a little subtle. Even Mrs. Wang's sister-in-law, Gao Shi, the wife of Wang Ziteng, was not very enthusiastic.
And those first-class families in the capital are like they don't have such a thing, and they can do whatever they want. Stepping into the circle of the upper lady is also what Mrs. Wang has been looking forward to, and it seems to have come to naught.
When Mrs. Wang was alone in the house, she could not hide her disappointment.
However, Jia's mother and Jia Zheng are more sober than Mrs. Wang: there is no strong mother's family, and there are no concubines with children, and they are not so precious before they can't see the emperor's favor.
On this day, Daiyu also came with a congratulatory gift, and Jia's mother was overjoyed to see her granddaughter - but Daiyu followed her father, and the whole person was mellow for a while, and it was not like the wind blew down, because there was flesh on her face, and she showed two deep dimples when she smiled.
Baoyu has recovered, and she is also overjoyed to see Sister Lin.
Mother Jia was relieved to hold Daiyu, but she also had some regrets: her son-in-law was reluctant to kiss her.
The family had seen them one by one, Daiyu was smiling and talking to Baoyu and her cousins, and Mother Jia looked at it, and her smile deepened.
After the grandchildren chattered for a while, Jia's mother asked Daiyu, "Where are you?" β
Daiyu responded: "Father went to the ministry today." β
Jia Mu nodded again and again, "Okay, good." β
The old lady said three good things in a row, she was originally worried that her stepmother would enter the door and Daiyu would have to endure hardships, not to mention that Daiyu was a sensitive person. But after taking a closer look at Daiyu this time, the old lady immediately let go of half of her heart.
She also wanted to tell Daiyu that if her stepmother was uncomfortable entering the door, she would come to her. Now that I think about it, I don't need to say this, I don't have to be a wicked person for nothing--the son-in-law knows it in his heart.
In all fairness, as long as it doesn't get to the point where Baoyu Daiyu can only choose one, the old lady is sincere to Daiyu.
Sister Feng was also serving in front of Mother Jia at this time, looking at Sister Lin's appearance, she also secretly said in her heart: Back to her father, Sister Lin is really different. Coupled with the sentence "go to the ministry", it also made Sister Feng more sincere and attentive to Daiyu.
In the afternoon, Daiyu came out of Rongfu and took the car halfway home...... It was stopped.
Zijuan got out of the car to talk to the other party, and when he came back, he held a post in both hands.
Daiyu took a look: Oh, it's her...... of the stepmother. She was also shocked: the first time she met the steproom who didn't go to see her husband but dealt with her stepdaughter first.
It is said that Daiyu, who is loved by her father in every way, does not lack confidence and self-confidence. Even if he knew that his stepmother was from an extraordinary background, he was not scared at all.
She sent her follower to report a message to her home, and she generously went to a luxurious teahouse to meet her future stepmother.
Wang Chan made an appointment to meet Daiyu...... Purely on a whim. The Wang family naturally stood on the side of Concubine Xian and the Nine Emperor Princes, but Wang Chan didn't think about forcing his fiancΓ© to stand behind the Nine Emperor Princes, at least not so urgently.
But she can't watch her future husband fall into the pit stupidly and say nothing.
After all, the family background is different, according to Lin Hai's words, Wang Chan's parents got the core of the imperial court, and the Rong Mansion didn't say anything after the death of Daiyu's grandfather Jia Daishan, but the weight of words is really incomparable with before.
Lin Hai also said this euphemistically to Daiyu.
Daiyu listened to her father's words and thought about it carefully, isn't it: the two uncles are in their fifties, not to mention the first and second grades, not even a fourth-grade official......
During the time when Daiyu got out of the carriage and stepped into the agreed box, she suddenly felt blessed to her heart: Miss Wang, who was about to become her stepmother, saw her, definitely not just wanted to see her.
The girl here wants to see her daughter-in-law, and Lin Hai doesn't know at all.
As soon as he came out of the ministry to receive the appointment documents, he met the Nine Emperor Princes at the gate of the Yamen. In fact, you don't need to look at your face, as long as you see the 20% clearly, you will know who is in front of you.
When the Nine Emperor Princes saw Lin Hai, they smiled slightly, "Lord Lin asked me to wait." β
Lin Haixin said: Okay, I don't even pretend to be a "chance encounter".
After seeing Lin Hai salute, the Nine Emperor Princes said again, "Let's talk while walking." "The father pointed to the right servant of the household, and the Nine Emperors were naturally very pleased, and they were also quite attentive when they made friends.
Hearing that Lin Hai came to get the "certificate of employment", the Nine Emperor Princes naturally had to appear in time and finish telling him what he knew and what he should remind.
It is said that before Lin Hai returned to Beijing to face the king, the saint had the heart to ask him to be an official of the household department. The reason why Lin Hai failed to take office immediately after returning to Beijing was also because there was a small case in the household department at that time, and he had something to do with the right attendant of the household department.
When Lin Hai was socializing with his fellow villagers and departments, he heard some rumors. Shengshang didn't intend to let him get fishy when he first entered the household, and Lin Hai was also grateful for this: thank you Shengshang for his mercy.
Now that he heard the Nine Emperors say this, he waited for the following...... I always felt that there was something in the words of the Nine Emperor Princes, and this matter was related to his relatives.
Sure enough, the Nine Emperor Princes said as they walked, "Do you know who picked out the case first?" β
Lin Hai didn't have to think about it, and asked directly, "Wang Ziteng?" β
This...... Consecutive names with surnames...... The Nine Emperors said in their hearts: That's really right, this person and Wang Ziteng are also incompatible. Of course, the Nine Emperor Princes would not conclude Lin Hai's opinion of Wang Ziteng because of a reaction, but continued to probe, "Of course, it is Lord Wang who benefits the most. β
The first person to find out about this matter, and with enough evidence, he can indeed take the first credit, and then contact this opportunity...... I always feel that Concubine Yuanchun should also be related to Wang Ziteng.
The Nine Emperor Princes came forward to explain so actively, because the prince Teng's power was close at hand - Wang Ziteng was obviously not from the Nine Emperors' side.
Lin Hai thought about it, and also had an idea in his heart: the former right attendant of the household department was put down by the prince, and even if he didn't take over for the sake of this diligent Nine Emperor Princes, he had to consider the mood of the saint, and he couldn't take advantage of the situation to hold the "friendship hand" that the prince Teng stretched out.
Yuan Chun was a concubine, and the Rong Mansion was invited, and Lin Hai felt that it was really wise that he did not attend.
Lin Hai has a wonderful intuition: the saint doesn't hate Yuanchun, but he shouldn't like Wang Ziteng, and he doesn't like Rongfu, which has now shown his attachment to Wang Ziteng.
It's okay to be good friends with the Nine Emperor Princes, but stand in line...... It's too early. In return for several reports, Lin Hai took the initiative to talk about what he had seen and heard during his tenure as a salt patrol: for example, a certain family was the money bag of a certain prince......
The more Lin Hai talked to the Nine Emperor Princes, the more speculative he became, and he got on the horse from outside the yamen...... All the way to the teahouse where Wang Chan and Daiyu met.
Looking at the carriage parked at the door, the Nine Emperor Princes couldn't be cheeky enough to say anything "accidental": his aunt was younger than him, a little bit of a big lady with a temper but had always been very measured, but who would have thought that the little aunt would think of meeting her future stepdaughter and let her fiancΓ© bump into her?
Looking at the "embarrassed face" of the Nine Emperor Princes, Lin Hai didn't care: This can be regarded as a small test for Daiyu. Incidentally...... His gaze fell on the Nine Emperors' shoulders again, looking for an opportunity to see if he could sell the prescription again.
However...... God didn't seem to be afraid to watch the excitement, the Nine Emperor Princes and Lin Hai were dismounting one after another, and they heard a greeting from behind them, "Ninth brother." β
Lin Hai didn't need to wait for someone to introduce him at all, he knew who was coming after listening to the Nine Emperor Princes.
"Third brother, fifth brother. What a coincidence. β
Lin Hai looked at the shoulders of the people who came, nineteen percent and twelve percent...... and the twenty percent on the shoulders of the Nine Emperor Princes.
Lin Hai didn't laugh when he was hanging: it turned out to be a family heirloom ~ weak ~ fine.
