Chapter 125
Now that Chen Qi has entered the palace, he doesn't know what he discussed with the saint, so he won't show it for the time being.
It is only said that at the great court meeting on the 15th, because the cabinet scholar Cao returned to his hometown, the cabinet was vacant, and the sage ordered the minister of the court to nominate a virtuous and talented person to succeed him to the position of a scholar. In the end, he was promoted to a cabinet scholar by the Ministry of Officials, and he was promoted to a cabinet scholar because of his ability and ability to patrol the salt imperial history Lin Ruhai, and he was promoted to a cabinet university scholar on the same day.
Now that Lin has been promoted to Beijing, the fat shortage of the Jiangnan salt class is vacant again. The forces of the DPRK and China knew that the sage intended to change and reform the term of office of the Imperial Inspector of Salt, and knew that this was a good time to insert himself into the Jiangnan officialdom. Naturally, each does not give in.
In the end, the sage listened to the opinions of the important ministers of the court and appointed Sun Wenzhao of the Imperial History Observatory to succeed him as the Inspector of the Imperial History.
This Sun Wenzhao is a Jinshi in the thirty-second year of Yongjia. He was a protégé of Zhang Huaiyu, the first assistant of the cabinet. On the surface, he is a person in the line of the Emperor Taishang, but now he is loyal to His Majesty, but in fact, he is very close to the line of the three princes. One of his sisters-in-law's sister-in-law is now the concubine of the third prince.
Now the sage has ordered Sun Wenzhao to succeed him as the imperial history of the salt patrol, and in the eyes of those who don't know it, it means that although the sage succeeded to the throne, he did not mean to compete with the emperor. But in the eyes of insiders, I am afraid that they will have to think about it separately. At least in the eyes of the sage and Chen Qi, hearing this will, the three princes must be able to laugh out loud.
However, just because you're happy now doesn't mean you'll be happy in the future. After all, the one who has the last laugh is the winner.
However, this is a later story, so I will not show it for the time being.
Now it is only said that Lin Ruhai got his will in Jiangnan, and he knows that it was Chen Qi who interceded in front of the saint. I couldn't help but be happy. He had been in salt classes for all these years, so he naturally knew that the water was very deep. Let's not talk about it for the time being, just talk about the deficit accumulated over the years, if the court seriously investigates it, it will be enough for people to drink a pot.
Lin Ruhai is quick and talented, and since he sensed that the sage had the intention of finding out the rule of officials, he knew that the sage would never let go of the salt class. Therefore, he was in a hurry to withdraw, and he was ready for the handover before Sun Wenzhao took office. Even the ancestral house and the slaves of the Ying clan were tied, and they ordered someone to go to Beijing to clean up the house first, but after Sun Wenzhao arrived, the piles and piles were handed over properly, and he immediately rushed to the capital with his family.
After a long journey, Lin Ruhai and his family arrived in Kyoto in mid-August. There are two days left until August 15th. Because Lin Ruhai went to Beijing this time in order to serve as a cabinet scholar, the Lin family's old friends and Lin Ruhai's classmates and colleagues respectively treated the banquet for Lin Ruhai to wash the dust. Among them, the Jia family is the most, only when the Lin family's ship just docked, Jia's mother sent Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu to pick up the family servants and luggage in person.
According to Jia's mother's meaning, she was afraid that Lin Ruhai had not entered Beijing for many years, and the ancestral house of the Lin family had been uninhabited for many years, so it was inevitable that it would be empty and deserted. You might as well stay in Rongguo Mansion for a few days, and then it's not too late to move back when the Lin family is cleaned up.
Seeing this, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but thank Rongguo Mansion for his hospitality. However, he had already instructed the old servant of the Lin family to enter Beijing early to clean up the house, and of course he also declined the kindness of Rongguo Mansion, and the old housekeeper of the Lin family heard the news of the master's arrival in Beijing, so he naturally brought someone to pick up the master. Jia Lian saw that the Lin family was really thinking properly, so he didn't say much.
Lin Ruhaisi and his agreement with Jia's mother had to observe Baoyu carefully, and he took the school exam again. Baoyu used to hate reading, and devoted herself to the inner circle, but now she is twelve or thirteen years old, but she has never gone to school seriously one day. The little ink in his stomach, where can he withstand the examination of Lin Ruhai, the master of Tanhua. couldn't hold up three or five sentences, and Baoyu revealed the clues of recklessness in his abdomen.
When Lin Ruhai saw this, he was a little unhappy in his heart. However, he has been up and down in the officialdom for a long time, and the city government naturally has it. Although he doesn't like Baoyu, his face will not be revealed. At most, he no longer tested Baoyu's knowledge, and instead asked Jia Lian about how Jia's mother was okay, and the eldest brother and second brother-in-law were well.
Jia Lian is also a temper who doesn't like to read. But he has helped the housekeeper of the second room all these years, and he can still cope with these things in the field. The two of them talked back and forth, and then arrived at the Shili Pavilion outside Chang'an City.
Lin Ruhai's colleagues in the world had already treated wine in Shili Pavilion and gave Lin Ruhai a catch.
Lin Ruhai was so enthusiastic that he had to say goodbye to Jia Lian, because he mentioned that after settling down, he went to Rongguo Mansion to ask Jia's mother for peace. Jia Lian couldn't, so he had to laugh. Jia Baoyu was even more eager to leave.
The two parties parted ways, and Lin Ruhai ate a few glasses of thin wine with his colleagues in the Shili Pavilion, and then moved to the big restaurant in Chang'an City. This reception feast was not enjoyed until the evening.
Early the next morning, after Lin Ruhai freshened up, he first went to the ministry to renew his post, and learned that three days later, he immediately replied to the saint, and had to greet his colleagues in the ministry again.
After going home, he prepared a rich gift to visit the Chen family and thanked him in person. Although Chen Qi and Lin Ruhai have been friends for a long time, it is the first time they have met. After meeting each other, Lin Ruhai rarely mentioned Chen Jue's good words for him in front of the saint, and he was very grateful to Chen Jue for his righteous help, and there were many words in his words that praised virtue.
Chen Jue is a long-sleeved and good dancer in the court, and he is a delicate character with eight faces. At this moment, he intended to make friends with Lin Ruhai, and the two naturally talked very well. So much so that before he knew it, it was time for lunch, and Chen Jue invited Lin Ruhai to eat together. After eating tea once, Lin Ruhai said goodbye unsatisfied.
After coming out of the Chen family, Lin Ruhai ordered someone to prepare a gift to visit Rongguo Mansion.
Everyone in Rongguo's mansion knew that Aunt Lin had returned to Beijing this time, but it was to succeed him as a cabinet scholar. Seeing that the Lin family is so powerful, it is natural to flatter him. As for how to be hospitable, it is just a small matter of family dinner, and there is no need to say more.
Now that he has arrived at Rongguo Mansion, Lin Ruhai rarely wants to see his daughter. Of course, Mother Jia will not stop Lin Ruhai from talking about the relationship between father and daughter with Daiyu. and ordered the mandarin duck to lead Lin Ruhai to Lin Daiyu's boudoir.
After not seeing each other for many years, the father and daughter naturally want to talk about their parting relationship after parting. However, before he could say a few words, Baoyu rushed in regardless of it, holding Daiyu's hand to play nine consecutive rings. also laughed with the maid in Daiyu's room.
Lin Ruhai never thought that Baoyu would break into the boudoir at such an age and enter a no-man's land. And the maid standing at the door didn't know how to stop her. Because of the thought of the great defense of etiquette and secular strictness, Lin Ruhaiden's face turned blue.
It's just that because of his first appearance, Lin Ruhai is not easy to attack. I had to look at Baoyu coldly.
Baoyu's heart suddenly fell, and she looked at Daiyu a little overwhelmed.
Daiyu and Baoyu grew up together, sitting together during the day, and resting together at night. Seeing him looking at him pitifully, Daiyu couldn't help but smile, and the slender jade hand scraped on her face, and then she smiled with Lin Ruhai and turned around for Baoyu.
Lin Ruhai looked at his daughter's intimate behavior with Baoyu coldly, and he didn't have the heart to chat with his daughter. It just so happened that Jia's mother sent someone to invite Lin Ruhai, Daiyu, and Baoyu to come over for dinner. And he put these things away. However, Lin Ruhai looked at the words and deeds of the maid in Jia's mother's room when she talked to her daughter, and realized more and more that her daughter's treatment in Rongguo Mansion was not as good as she imagined.
After going home in the evening, Lin Ruhai could no longer hold back the suspicion and anger in his heart, and ordered Lin Daiyu's personal maid Snow Goose's old son to take Snow Goose back from Rongguo Mansion on the grounds that she missed her daughter.
Lin Ruhai asked Xue Yan about Lin Daiyu's old affairs in the Rong Mansion one by one, and when he heard that Daiyu Dai Xiao entered Beijing, but the Rong Mansion was wearing gold and silver and talking and laughing without shying away, Lin Ruhai was very angry. He and Jia Min married a young man, although the husband and wife relationship is shallow, but they raised their eyebrows and never blushed. Now that he heard that the Rong Mansion was so snub about Jia Min's filial piety, Lin Ruhaiyan could be satisfied.
Later, I learned from the mouth of the snow goose that Baoyu fell jade, Mrs. Wang was dissatisfied with Daiyu, and on the first day of entering the house, she said something about beating Daiyu, and Mrs. Wang brought Aunt Xue's mother and daughter into Beijing, intending to promote the good relationship of gold and jade. couldn't help but slap the case and reprimanded: "What a big face, they dare to compare my daughter with a in a businessman!" ”
After being angry, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but ask why Baoyu could enter and leave Daiyu's boudoir at will, and Xue Yan mentioned that Lin Daiyu had just entered Beijing, and Rongguo Mansion did not arrange a house, so Lin Daiyu was ordered to live in the Bisha cupboard in Jia's mother's room, and Baoyu lived outside. After that, the two got used to sitting and lying together, and no one stopped them.
Lin Ruhai only Daiyu entered Beijing that day, one was that Jia Min passed away, Daiyu had no one to educate him, and the affairs in Jiangnan officialdom made him distracted, so he had to send his daughter to Rongfu to protect himself. The reason why Daiyu only took Mama Wang and Xue Yan was because she was afraid that there would be too many people from the Lin family, and the Rongguo Mansion would not like it. But he didn't expect to delay his daughter carelessly. actually made Rongguofu despise his daughter so much. Because I thought that although Jia Baoyu was Jia's mother's heart, when it came to identity, he was only the youngest son of the second room, and he had no family background, and he was not motivated, so he was willing to marry his daughter to such a gentleman, and Rongguo Mansion should be grateful to Dai De for burning high incense. Now he dares to do things like two ends and two boats. He even wanted to use the daughter of a merchant to overpower his daughter......
The more Lin Ruhai thought about it, the more angry he became, first angrily reprimanding the Snow Goose Wang for not being able to respect and be loyal to her duties, and then hating the Jia family for bullying people too much.
The matter has come to this, and Lin Ruhai no longer has the intention of marrying the Jia family. He can't help but believe that he is a dignified cabinet scholar, and he can't find a husband for his daughter. Since the second room of the Jia family doesn't want to marry them Daiyu, there is no need to marry them. Don't you think the merchants are good? Then marry the merchant.
Lin Ruhai was furious. However, he has been an official for many years, and the city government is deep. Although he was moved to regret his marriage, he still remembered the correspondence with Jia's mother back then. I am afraid that if I accidentally fall into the truth, it will damage the reputation of my beloved daughter.
Lin Ruhai didn't want to be controlled by others, so he had to strike first. Anyway, the rumors about the "golden and jade good relationship" in Rongguo's mansion have long been boiling, and Lin Ruhai simply helped them add fuel to the fire. In less than a few days, the "golden and jade good fate" that was originally only rumored in Rongguo Mansion spread all over Chang'an.
Lin Ruhai took advantage of the situation to ask Jia's mother to resign and take her daughter back to Lin Mansion to be raised. By the way, I asked Jia's mother for the letters that came and went.
When Jia Mu heard Lin Ruhai's move, she was naturally very reluctant. Lin Ruhai said again: "This children's marriage is the words of the matchmaker at the behest of their parents, although the old lady is the grandmother of Baoyu's grandmother, Daiyu, she is not their biological parents after all, and she can't be the master of Baoyu's marriage." Besides, this marriage also depends on your love and my willingness. Since the second wife likes the Xue family's treasure girl so much. What else does it say that what is gold must be matched with jade. The so-called gentleman does not take the favor of others, although he is not a gentleman, but there is still this little bit of adult beauty. ”
Seeing Lin Ruhai like this, Mother Jia still wanted to confess something, but Lin Ruhai had already made up her mind, and if she continued, she was afraid that she would not become a revenge. Mother Jia was hindered by the prosperity of the Lin family's official fortunes, but she didn't dare to be too stubborn. What's more, this matter was originally ignored by the Jia family. Mother Jia had no choice but to take out the letters and so on that year, and watched Lin Ruhai take Daiyu back.
