22. Lin Hai was promoted to the banker and entered Beijing
As in the original book, through Baoyu's recommendation, Jia Zhen invited Wang Xifeng to take care of Qin Keqing's funeral. Wang Xifeng got up early and returned late, the same rules were promulgated, and the chaotic Dongfu was put in order, and everyone was impressed, and she herself was also complacent, and she enjoyed the satisfaction brought by the right very much.
On the day of the funeral, Wang Xifeng took Baoyu and Qin Zhong to stay in the Mantou Nunnery.
The two Baoyu who inquired had already rested, and everything was in order, so Wang Xifeng rested in the clean room specially cleaned up under the service of his sister-in-law in the temple. Seeing the pure void, Wang Xifeng remembered in a trance that she had forgotten something, and she was very tired at this time, so she didn't think much about it, let the little girl beat her legs, and was about to fall asleep in a daze with her eyes closed.
Jingxu stood on the side and didn't leave, and was asking for something, but when he saw Wang Xifeng's eyes closed, he hurriedly leaned over and whispered twice: "Second Grandma Lian, Second Grandma." ”
"What's the matter?" Wang Xifeng vaguely heard the voice and asked impatiently.
"Second grandma, I have something here that I am asking grandma." Jingxu told the Zhang family and the garrison family. “…… Because I was a monk in Shancai Nunnery in Chang'an County when I was young, I was familiar with the Zhang family, so they asked me to come to the house. It is said that the house and the Chang'an Festival make Yun Guangyun good, if the house can go to the letter to talk to the Yun master, and then say to the garrison, I am not afraid that he will not return the ceremony. If this can be done, the Zhang family is also willing to be filial. ”
Wang Xifeng felt familiar when he listened to it, and finally a stirring spirit opened his eyes, and Fang Cai's sleepiness was gone.
"The Zhang family? His daughter's name is Brother Jin? "Wang Xifeng is the grandmother of the Jia family's housekeeper, and she has to mediate hundreds of things every day, and she is also holding Qin Keqing's funeral this time, and she is busy with her feet not touching the ground.
"Exactly." Where does Jingxu know what she thinks, she only thinks that the other party will not refuse this matter, who will have trouble with the silver.
Wang Xifeng glanced at Jingxu and said coldly: "I never care about such things, and I don't wait for the silver." ”
Jingxu was stunned for a while, and then sighed: "But the Zhang family already knows that I came to ask the house, and now the house doesn't care, the Zhang family doesn't think that the house has no time to thank him, but only thinks that the house doesn't even have this idea." ”
If it was usual, Wang Xifeng would have been excited when he heard this, and he would have responded in one bite, but now it is different. Wang Xifeng sneered: "Joke! What is the Zhang family? A rich landlord dares to talk nonsense about the government and carefully accuse him of slander! ”
"This, second grandmother ......" Jingxu was startled, she didn't expect Wang Xifeng's reaction.
Wang Xifeng was upside down, his phoenix eyes were threatening, and he was so frightened that he swallowed back half of his words. Wang Xifeng reprimanded coldly: "It's a shame that you are a sister-in-law, you actually do such a thing as a matchmaker, and you don't feel sorry to serve the Bodhisattva every day?" Don't mention this in the future, otherwise you won't be spared! I am tired, go down! ”
Originally, Wang Xifeng wanted to punish him severely, but when he thought that Jia Lian had already checked again, and it was time to send the funeral, he endured it.
A few days earlier, after Jia's mother's order, Jia Lian was checking this purity, who knew that it didn't matter if he checked it, but it involved a lot of dirty things. Shuiyue Nunnery is a family temple, once such a thing spreads, will the reputation of the Jia family be lost? Jia Lian didn't dare to ignore it, and the evidence he had now was enough to completely rectify Shuiyue Nunnery, but considering that Rong's daughter-in-law's funeral was not over, he could only press it for the time being, and he didn't move it.
This matter has been registered in front of the old lady, even if there is a lot of silver, Wang Xifeng does not dare to touch his hands, and he can't wait to stay away from Jingxu.
I remembered that Baoyu often mentioned Brother Jin recently, which made Mrs. Wang very unhappy, and the old lady praised Baoyu for her kindness. And the old lady is very concerned about the matter of Shuiyue Nunnery, she must listen to the follow-up, if she knows that Jingxu has found her, even if she doesn't do anything, I'm afraid that she will provoke a villain to chew her tongue.
Wang Xifeng pondered for a moment, and ordered someone to call Wang'er and instruct: "You go to find the second master, ask the second master to find a husband of the main text, write a letter to Master Yun of Chang'an Festival, and ask Master Yun to take action to end the matter of the Zhang family." If the second master asks, he will say that this is a good thing to accumulate good deeds, even if the old lady knows it, she will not be annoyed, that is, the second wife will remember his good if she knows it. ”
Baoyu has a quirk, the girl is a treasure before she leaves the pavilion, and she has dead fish eyes when she leaves the pavilion. Baoyu thinks about that Zhang Jin Brother every day, once she hears that Zhang Jin Ge is married, she will definitely throw it to the back of her neck, and Mrs. Wang should also rest assured.
At this time, Lin Qingyun never expected that the tragic story in the original book would be turned around in a momentary move.
Soon after the incident, Wang Xifeng got a reply, and everything was done, and what was even more interesting was that the garrison somehow got the news, so he specially sent someone to send a rich thank you gift.
The garrison's family name is Zhao, and his ancestors are also scholars, with his own family background, and the reason why he was dismissed before was because he was framed by political enemies, and he was ready to postpone it for a few years and then seek revenge. Although I don't know how the Jia family will reach out to help for no reason, but I am grateful, you must know that since the rumor of the Zhang family's withdrawal from the family, I don't know how many people have secretly watched the jokes, and Li Yanei of the prefect's family even caught his son and ridiculed him. Now that the case has been settled, he has finally spoken out of his bad breath, and although the Zhang family is greedy for power and profit, it is rare for the Zhang family girl to be chaste, and she can be regarded as a good daughter-in-law.
Jia Lian happened to be at home, and when he saw these things, he said strangely: "Zhao family? Which Zhao family? Zhao Yushi? Our family doesn't seem to have much to do with the Zhao family. ”
Wang Xifeng sneered: "Have you forgotten the good things that the second master has done? ”
Ping'er on the side also said: "Second master, do you still remember what Master Tuoyun did?" ”
Jia Lian patted his head and thought: "Oh, it turned out to be Zhao Shoubei's family in Chang'an Mansion." They are grateful for their kindness, and it is difficult for the second grandmother to be kind, and they have worked hard in vain. ”
Wang Xifeng's eyes widened, and his eyes flowed: "Looking at what the second master said, it seems that I am usually a wicked person." ”
"The second grandmother is naturally a philanthropist, I just said that." Jia Lian was already dazzled by a look, and immediately smeared honey on his mouth, regardless of the girls in the room.
Wang Xifeng pushed the person away funny, got up and straightened his clothes and sideburns, and instructed Ping'er to bring the things sent by the Zhao family, and said while walking out: "Forgive me for not being able to accompany the second master, I have to report this matter to the old lady, so that the old lady will be happy to know." If there is no old man for her, how dare we call the shots indiscriminately, the Zhao family's thank you gift is naturally the old lady's. ”
Jia Lian sneered, how could she not understand her thoughts, this Jia family had to please the old lady.
Sure enough, when Wang Xifeng told the Zhao family, the old lady was very happy. When I get older, I like to listen to the story of perfection, Zhang and Zhao's two families already have a marriage contract, and now they fulfill their previous promises, abandon their previous suspicions and still be their children's parents. The sisters were also glad to hear this ending, and rejoiced that a girl had a good result, and Baoyu was the only one who was depressed.
Everyone knew his temperament and ignored him.
Mother Jia looked at the Zhao family's thank-you gifts one by one, and praised: "Feng'er has done a good job in this matter, you have all the things of the Zhao family, and I will reward you." Wang Xifeng was proudly happy, and heard Jia's mother say: "You are very good, although you have a good heart, you know the rules after all, let Lian'er come forward to take care of these things, unlike some women in the house who stretch their hands too long and actually do things in the name of their masters." It's disgusting! ”
It was obviously a plain word, but it made Wang Xifeng break out in a cold sweat, and she always felt that Mother Jia was beating her.
It's dangerous! If he hadn't felt troublesome for a while, he would have found Jia Lian directly, but he was afraid that he would not have good results even if he was kind.
Xichun is a careful person, and made a special trip to inform Lin Qingyun and Daiyu of the outcome of the matter in the name of sending things. The two of them were relieved when they found out, and they were sincerely happy for Zhang Jinge and Zhao Gongzi. Lin Qingyun thought that according to the results of the martyrdom of the two in the original book, even if it is not an unswerving love, it is a very loyal relationship, and they will definitely live happily after getting married.
Lin Ruhai has been at home for more than a month, and the emperor has never summoned him, and there is a lot of discussion in the outside world. You must know that Lin Ruhai was a member of the Salt Patrol Imperial History before, even if he didn't have the emperor's heart to return to Beijing, he should have a chance to meet the saint once, but Lin Ruhai didn't. Just when everyone felt that Lin Ruhai's career was hopeless, a holy decree was passed to the Lin family.
- Lin Ruhai was promoted to the head of the household department and concurrently led the crown prince.
The head of the household and the prince and the prince are all from the same product, the book is a real job, the prince and the prince are the title, it is an honor, and the dynasty did not canonize the prince. Just from this holy decree, it can be seen that Lin Ruhai is deep in Mu Longen, Jane is in the emperor's heart, all parties are moved when they hear the wind, and the Lin family is instantly in the market.
At this time, the DPRK and China issued a holy decree, but it was sent to Yangzhou, and all the officials of all sizes, including Fang Zhou, the prefect of Yangzhou, were dismissed from their posts and investigated, and escorted back to Beijing. The people in the court have just come back to their senses, but they are afraid that Lin Ruhai and the emperor have joined forces to do a scene before, just waiting for this opportunity to investigate and rectify the Yangzhou officialdom at one time, and several princes have lost a lot of manpower, but because of the emperor's thunderous methods, not only did they not have time to feel distressed, but they all stopped acting and did not dare to act rashly.
The Jia family didn't know about the court, but they only knew that the Lin family had not fallen, but had become more and more glorious, and immediately sent some congratulatory gifts to congratulate them.
Although Jia Yu is nominally the head of the Rongguo Mansion, he is greedy and lustful all day long and ignores foreign affairs, knowing that Lin Ruhai's promotion to the official will be beneficial to his own family, but he does not come forward himself, and calls Jia Lian to give him careful advice and let it go. Jia Zheng prides himself on being a scholar and admires Lin Ruhai's talent and learning, but the other party is already a first-class member, and he has been a fifth-grade member for more than ten years. The last people to come to congratulate were Jia Lian and his wife, these two are the best at drilling, and they can't wait to take such a good thing on their bodies.
Jia Lian was introduced into the outer study, and Wang Xifeng went to the inner house.
Jia Lian was a changeable person, and when he saw Lin Ruhai, he bowed down deeply, and said: "My nephew congratulates Uncle Lin and congratulates Uncle Lin on his high career. ”
"Sit."
Lin Ruhai already knew about the affairs of the Jia family, but because he was far away in Yangzhou before, he was not idle, but now that he has come to the capital, it is inevitable to interact with the Jia family. He is really a big man who is really not good at scheming with the women in the Jia family, although Qingyun and Daiyu are smart, he doesn't want his two daughters to work too hard, so he sets his sights on Jia Lian and his wife. The two rooms of the Jia family seem to be peaceful, but in fact they are full of contradictions, and with just a gentle push, the illusion of peace will surely collapse. He didn't want to calculate anything about the Jia family, but he was just disgusted with others calculating his daughter.
Jia Lian felt that Lin Ruhai's eyes were a little wrong, and he didn't know why.
"How old is Lian'er this year?"
"Huh?" Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "My nephew is twenty-five this year. ”
"It's not small, haven't you thought about getting an errand?" Lin Ruhai said as if chatting.
Jia Lian smiled: "My nephew donated a fellow acquaintance, but it's just good-looking." ”
Lin Ruhai glanced at him with a smile: "You also know that it's just good-looking, a good son and brother of the Guogong Mansion, busy with chores all day long, I heard outsiders say that you are husband and wife, an external housekeeper, an internal housekeeper, this is a good word?" ”
Jia Lian's face changed, he was angry, angry and embarrassed, and only sighed after a while: "I'm not afraid of my uncle's jokes, it's my nephew who has no ability." ”
"If you really have a heart, I can find a real shortage for you."
"Thank you, Uncle Lin!" Jia Lian was overjoyed and responded very quickly to thank him.
At this time, Fu Bo suddenly reported outside: "Master, the dealer is here." ”
Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, and then his face was happy: "Who is here?" Please come in! ”
Jia Lian saw that he had a guest, although he wanted to ask him what kind of official he was looking for, but he was afraid that he would be too eager to make Lin Ruhai dissatisfied, so he found an excuse and withdrew.
Lin Ruhai didn't have the heart to talk to him at this time, so he said, "You go back first, and I will inform you when there is news." ”
Jia Lian came out of the study and met a young boy. This little boy is fourteen or fifteen years old, with handsome eyebrows, eyes like cold stars, a royal blue robe lining his posture, his steps are calm and powerful, and he has both the nobility of the son of a family and the sharpness of a sword, even if Jia Lian is a few years older than him, but a pair of eyes on the other party, inexplicably look away and dare not look at each other, and his momentum is a little weaker.
Jia Lian wondered in his heart, who is this person?
I just heard the people mention "dealer" when they talk about it, but is there such a dealer in the capital?
At this time, the little boy had already entered the study, and faintly heard his voice come out: "Mingjing meets Uncle Lin." ”
On the other side, Wang Xifeng had the same doubts, Jia Lian sent someone to call her back to the house, and she met two cool-looking women to ask Daiyu for peace. Wang Xifeng asked casually, and when he heard that it was the dealer's person, he didn't care. She knows the eunuchs of various families in Beijing clearly, and she has never heard of any dealers, but she is afraid that it is not a big family and it is not worth mentioning. What's more, there is no difference between the clothes of the two women, and they are not as rich as the second-class servants of the Jia family.
At this time, Lin Qingyun was also full of doubts, desperately thinking about which dealer in her heart, and finally remembered that there was such a "dealer" on the Lin family's exchange and gift list.
The two women seemed to be very clear about the Lin family, and they asked Lin Qingyun and Daiyu to be safe in turn, and they were disciplined and generous, which was very similar to the Lin family.
"I haven't seen her for many years, but the girl is so old, and the old lady and the ladies have been thinking about the girl when they came. This is a gift prepared by our old lady, wife and girls for the two girls, it is not a valuable thing, and I hope the two girls will not dislike it. ”
"How dare you, thank you old ladies and ladies for your concern." Daiyu still knows about her family's affairs, although she has not seen anyone from the dealer family for many years, she often heard her father mention it when she was a child. After asking some questions about the dealer's family, the two women answered one by one, Daiyu had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Your family is about to enter Beijing?" ”
One of them said with a smile: "It's strange that when I was at home, the old lady repeatedly said that Miss Lin was smart, and it was true. Our eldest lord has obtained the will, at the end of the year into Beijing to report on work, our uncle first went to Beijing to build some houses, visit the world to make old friends. ”
"It's a happy event." Foreign officials are allowed to report on their work in Beijing, and eighty percent of them are to be promoted, and for the bankers, this opportunity has been waiting for many years.
