Chapter 14: Untitled
In the next three days, Lin Ruhai was very busy except for one time when he came to see Bai Tang. However, Jia Min was very enthusiastic, although his relatives could not see outsiders - the previous time was because he wanted to save Lin Moyu and was in a hurry - but Jia Min asked Bai Tang for warmth and warmth, and treated Bai Tang as the most distinguished guest, so that Bai Tang would not feel neglected because Lin Ruhai did not entertain him personally.
A few days later, Lin Ruhai, who was busy, personally went to the guest house to confess, Bai Tang waved his hand to say that he didn't mind, but she knew that Lin Ruhai was investigating the person who poisoned his son in recent days, and the subordinates of the Lin Mansion killed several people, and sold a group of people.
"Brother Lin wants to track down the poisoning of the little boy, and the little brother understands. Come to think of it, the person who poisoned it has already been dealt with? β
Lin Ruhai sighed when he heard this: "The person who poisoned is easy to deal with, but the person behind the scenes...... Hey, I'm not reconciled! β
"Jiangnan is the emperor's money bag, and several princes are eyeing Jiangnan and the salt tax, and Brother Lin should have made a decision as soon as possible. This time it's the little boy, and the next time maybe it's Mrs. Ling and Brother Lin herself. β
"I know!" Lin Ruhai frowned, "It's just that I'm too deeply involved now, and I can't quit if I want to." A qiΔ depends on the divine will. β
"Actually, there is a way, it depends on whether Brother Lin can make up his mind."
"Please also ask the virtuous brother to teach me, the eldest brother has experienced so much just to ask for the safety of his family, and no longer wants a career in luxury." Lin Ruhai's eyes lit up, and he sincerely asked Bai Tang for a way.
Bai Tang asked: "The plan of the people behind the scenes has not succeeded, I am afraid that they will continue to attack, and Brother Lin can plan it." β
"No, Mo'er is weak, my Lin family has been passed down for generations, I can't let him take risks." Lin Ruhai shook his head violently.
Bai Tang rolled his eyes: "Brother Lin, how could I let the little boy be in danger." When I say counting, I'm talking about you. You can pretend to be poisoned and take the opportunity to resign from the position of Salt Inspector to the Emperor. β
"The emperor will not take it lightly, believing that I will be poisoned." Lin Ruhai frowned.
"That's really poisoning. I will give you an antidote pill, and your life should be guaranteed! β
"Thank you, brother!" Lin Ruhai was overjoyed, and only felt that knowing Bai Tang was the luckiest thing in his life.
The big stone in his heart was put down, and Lin Ruhai was in the mood to talk with Bai Tang. Lin Ruhai asked Bai Tang about the situation in the past few years, and Bai Tang replied that he would go home and be filial to his parents, and asked some things about the Jia family.
"Zhu'er's kid has already been admitted to the Jinshi, and now he has mixed qualifications in the Hanlin Academy." Lin Ruhai is very satisfied with this nephew, "Now he is a father!" The Wang family no longer had any influence on him, but Yuan Chun's child was killed by her mother! β
"What's wrong with the eldest girl of the Jia family?" Bai Tang was very curious.
"This child was affected by her mother, because of the bad reputation of the Wang family, this child can't find her in-law's family, the years are wasted, there is no way, this child can only be selected into the palace to be a palace maid!" Lin Ruhai sighed, "Pity her, a young lady who has never done rough work, but now she has to serve people in a low and humble way." β
"As far as I know, your niece is not small. She didn't enter the palace willing to be a palace maid, right? "Bai Tang saw Yuan Chun when he was in the capital, and he could see this girl's ambition at a glance.
"Wouldn't it? Yuan Chun actually had the idea of the lord Shang? Lin Ruhai was surprised, he had been away from the capital for nearly ten years, and he was not familiar with the people of the Jia family, and he didn't know Jia Yuanchun's character.
"I've seen him before, and to put it mildly, Jia Yuanchun is not a peaceful person."
"Hey, I used to pity her a little, but now it seems that I don't need to." Lin Ruhai sighed, "I just hope that this child won't cause trouble to his family!" β
It is impossible not to summon trouble! However, now that the Jia family has no Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng has also become honest, and he should not have many small pigtails for the royal family to catch. The most important thing is that Jia Rong did not marry Qin Keqing, a possible royal bloodline.
While the two were talking, Lin San walked in.
"Master, Mr. Jia is here, and I want to say goodbye to you in person!"
"Mr. Jia?" Bai Tang pretended not to know and asked, "Brother Lin's relatives?" β
Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said: "It's not from the Jia family in the capital, but the little girl's Mr. Xixi, named Jia Hua, is a Jinshi in the twenty-third year of Kang Yuan, and he once served as the county magistrate of Nanyang County, and was dismissed because he offended Shangfeng." I saw that he had good knowledge and talent, and I didn't want to waste his talent, so I helped him write a letter of recommendation to my second uncle, asking him to help Jia Hua move around and plan a suitable official position for Jia Hua. β
"Jiahua Jiayu Village?"
"Brother Xian knows Jia Hua?"
"I've heard his name, and this man is not very good. I have heard that this man was sponsored by a certain squire when he was poor, but when he became rich, he did not sincerely thank his benefactor, but married the maid of his benefactor's family. β
"Is there such a thing?" Lin Ruhai was surprised, "It's that I don't know people clearly." But I've already written him a letter of recommendation, and it's hard to take it back. β
"Just write it! Then write a letter to Uncle Ling, and let him stay away from Jia Hua in the future. Bai Tang comforted Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai nodded and said to Lin San: "Sue sΓΉ Jia Hua, just say that I won't see him when I am receiving important guests, and give him a hundred taels of silver to make a coil." β
"Yes!" Lin San retreated.
Jia Yucun was holding a hundred taels of silver, and a trace of annoyance flashed on his face. Lin Ruhai actually snubbed him so much! Hmph, when you are developed in the future, you must repay the humiliation you suffered today.
Jia Yucun glared fiercely at the door plaque of the Lin Mansion and turned to leave. Lin San spat at his back: "Thankless white-eyed wolf!" Fortunately, Bai Gongzi exposed your true colors, otherwise my master would still be deceived! β
Bai Tang lived in Yangzhou for half a month, and when Li Ruhai's son Lin Moyu was fully recovered, Bai Tang offered his farewell.
"Why don't you stay for a while? But I don't take good care of my brother? Lin Ruhai hugged his son, who had recovered his health. Almost lost the only heir, he had already thrown aside the rule of holding grandchildren and not children.
"My brother and sister-in-law take care of me so carefully, how can they not be considerate? It's just that I haven't seen my student for a long time, and this time I'm in the south, I have to meet him. Bai Tang teased Lin Moyu as he spoke. The little guy suffered a crime, and the whole person was very thin, which made people feel distressed.
"I don't know who the disciple of the virtuous brother is?"
"If you want to say that my disciple is still related to Brother Lin, it is Xue Pan of the Xue family in Jinling!"
"The Xue family? The descendants of the crape myrtle people? β
"Yes, it is called the four major families along with the three families of Jia, Shi, and Wang!"
"This Xue Pan must be quite unusual to be able to enter the eyes of the virtuous brother!"
"Hehe-"
