Before the sealing and canonization of the prince of the country, Lin Ruhai joined the Inspectorate from the Hanlin Academy and became the palm seal of Jiangnan Province to supervise the imperial history, which was a trivial matter.

However, although it is a noble position to study and lecture on bachelors, and they often serve in front of the emperor, they have no real power. The Metropolitan Procuratorate of Great Xia has set up fifteen supervision imperial histories, all of which are official positions of the seventh grade, with more than 100 people, who are in charge of supervision in different divisions, and judge major matters and small matters, although the official position is not high, but the power is quite heavy. Palm print supervision of the imperial history, is the chief of these supervision of the imperial history, the palm of the road seal letter and preside over the affairs, initially to Henan, Jiangnan, Zhejiang, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi six as the palm print road, to the Qixiang Emperor, fifteen are set up palm print imperial history.

Lin Ruhai is the palm seal of Jiangnan Province, and Emperor Qixiang also gave him the right to directly judge administrative officials, that is to say, Jiangnan Province, except for the governor and the inspector, the rest of the officials at all levels in Jiangnan can be directly tried.

The current Imperial Shi Dai Bo of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is also from Yuan Xu's disciple, Lin Ruhai's senior brother. On the day Lin Ruhai arrived, after meeting the governors at all levels, Dai Bo said meaningfully: "Ruhai is so young, but he has already taken on a heavy responsibility, which is really embarrassing for my generation." ”

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand and said: "I am shallow in my studies, and I don't let the saint value it so much, and my heart is very frightened." ”

"Hehe, if there is something undecided, you can come and ask me." Dai Bo is a clear-eyed person, and he was hesitant about the emperor's intention to establish a queen and register the prince, as soon as he saw that Lin Ruhai had entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate and directly took charge of Jiangnan Dao, he knew in his heart that the prince must be Xiao Jin, King Ning.

Everyone all over the world knows that Xiao Jin and Lin Ruhai went to Japan to apprentice, and his wife is a good friend. The two families are good families, and the only son and the son of King Ning grew up together since childhood. In the past two years, he has often been taken by Emperor Qixiang, and his treatment has even exceeded that of many emperors and grandsons. At this time. changed the place for him, which was clearly to insert a person of his own for the prince in Jiangnan.

Jiangnan is a tax-paying land, and every new monarch takes the throne, and the first place he wants to control is Jiangnan. However, as long as Jiangnan is not chaotic, the world will be stable seven or eight times out of ten. In such an important place, the successive governors and inspectors are all confidants of the saints, how can they send someone who is particularly close to the prince to be the palm seal to supervise the imperial history? Alas, the saint is going to pave the way for the new king.

Speaking of which. There are no stupid people in the court, and what Dai Bo can think of, naturally everyone else has thought of it. As early as the first day of Lin Ruhai's changing of the guard, Ning Wang Xiao Jin took his family to the mansion to congratulate.

The two sat in the study, serving tea at the same time, tasting slowly, but neither of them spoke first. After a long time, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but roll his eyes, and took the lead in breaking the silence: "The meaning of the saint." As you can see, this is for me to play as a striker. ”

Xiao Jin's expression was very complicated, his slender fingers rubbed the teacup, and he hesitated: "I." I still can't believe it. ”

"Mao can't believe it? After the edict has been issued, can the saint still regret it? Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows and smiled. In his opinion, the old man of Emperor Qishen is very good-looking. Generally, if the order is made, it will not be changed. Conversely, if there is no decree. His words are particularly unreliable.

His own mother can be the queen, Xiao Jin is also very happy. He slowly let out a gentle smile, "The mother concubine has worked hard for half her life, and now she is considered to be the best." ”

Lin Ruhai: "Hehe. "Since the day she entered the palace, there has been no more life, whether it is the queen or the queen mother, it is still very sad. But he couldn't say this to Xiao Jin, so he could only laugh.

"When you go to Jiangnan, you have to be careful of the Zhen family." Xiao Jin tapped the table and burst out a sentence without a head.

Lin Ruhai was eating a piece of mandarin duck cake, and he couldn't pour his mouth, so he had to write question marks in his eyes.

Xiao Jin couldn't help but glance at him, "King Qi's side room was the daughter of the Zhen family, and I heard that she was quite favored and gave birth to two sons successively. You must know that the princess of Qi has no son-in-law, and she died of illness last year. "Xiao Jin really has no good impression of the Zhen family, first him, then King Lu, this time it is King Qi, there are three Zhen daughters in each royal house, and the rest are more or less related to the Zhen family. Damn, how is this to show off their daughter? All his grievances were written on his face, and he did not shy away from it at all.

Lin Ruhai easily swallowed the things in his mouth, and said with a smile: "People are like flowers and jade, and the daughters who are knowledgeable and knowledgeable are all wronged to be your side room, you still don't like it, you are cold every day, and you can blame others for changing personal investment!" Maybe, it's a pity for the Zhen family, wasting a good girl on you. ”

Xiao Jin had a cold face: "Is it rare to be a master!" ”

"But......" his serious expression said, "The Zhen family has been in Jiangnan for many years, and its power should not be underestimated. ”

Lin Ruhai nodded, "Don't worry." ”

In the back house, Cui's was very reluctant to Jia Min: "You guys go, maybe it will take a few years to come back." ”

"Don't worry, I'll write often." Jia Min smiled.

"Alas, thanks to you for often extricating me in the past few years, otherwise my prince and I would not be so good." Cui Shi sighed, Xiao Jin was under more and more pressure in the court, and her mood was naturally not too good, and her expression couldn't help but be gloomy, which made her feel frightened. In addition, King Lu and King Qi are really exhausted, how can such a good trick of beauty be abandoned. On two occasions, King Ning had already entered the pit, and once he had a quarrel with Cui's family. Cui's was really suffocated to death, seeing that the little goblin was proud, and he was very hurt internally. If it weren't for Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, even if the two of them were together, I was afraid that the knot in their hearts would not be as harmonious as they are now.

Cui still remembers that Lin Ruhai rushed into King Ning's study, pointed at his nose and scolded, and the two even made a move and had a fight, both of them had blue noses and swollen faces, which made the saint angry. Afterwards, King Ning came to apologize to her for the first time.

Jia Min smiled slightly: "Ning Wang Chitose is a gentle and generous person, no matter what, you just have to complain to him more, he will cool you." "Cui's is basically the kind of typical wife who is very virtuous and generous, doing more and talking less, or even not saying anything. How can you do this, how can a man know if you do so many things without saying anything.

Choi smiled. "I've changed since you said it last time." The effect is not bad. There are some very difficult things, and Xiao Jin automatically takes over. It saved her a lot of trouble.

The adults said goodbye, and Xiao Chen and Lin Rui were even more inseparable. At this time, they sat together hand in hand, wiping tears in front of each other.

Cui Shi saw it and said, "Alas, Chen'er hasn't eaten well for several days since she knew that she was going to be separated from Rui'er. ”

Jia Min was also worried, and so was her son, and asked him if he could stay, or let Xiao Chen go with them.

"Didn't you say that the gentleman in Jiangnan is well educated, I will go back and beg my father. It's good to go to school in Gangnam with Uncle Lin. Xiao Chen wiped his face and made up his mind.

Lin Rui still had tears on his face, and asked angrily, "Is it possible?" Uncle Shaw won't let you go. ”

"I still have a second brother and a third brother in my family, and my father and mother will not be lonely." Xiao Chen is different from his two younger brothers, he grew up in the Lin family for half of the time since he was a child, not only with Lin Rui, but also with Jia Min and Lin Ruhai, so he is very reluctant.

Lin Rui shook his head: "Uncle Xiao won't agree." ”

Xiao Chen's tears couldn't help but fall again, "Then what should I do?" ”

Jia Min couldn't help but come over. took a handkerchief to wipe the faces of the two little cats, nodded at the little noses of the two and said, "Don't think about it......" nodded to the son, "You can't stay, I haven't seen my father and mother for a long time." Don't you want to? "Nod Xiao Chen again," "You can't go with us, Concubine Shu is about to be sealed." She is her own grandmother, and she loves you so much on weekdays. It's the most important day of her life, can you not be there? ”

"Wow...... So what to do? Xiao Chen and Lin Rui came to a duet.

Jia Min pressed the corner of his forehead. hugged the two of them in his arms: "Write a letter, write a letter every day." ”

Cui Shi rubbed his forehead with a headache, "It's very diligent to write once a month, who will send them a letter a day?" "Do you live so close to each other like the two families in the capital?

Jia Min was stupid for a rare time, "Hehe, I really didn't expect this." ”

Anyway, the two little men finally stopped crying, and agreed to write a letter every day and send it outside for a month.

Lin Ruhai wants to move his family to Jiangnan, and he will not return to Beijing for at least three years, Jia's mother is very reluctant to have her daughter, so she discussed with her daughter whether to stay, and then choose two honest and considerate people to follow Lin Ruhai to Jiangnan.

Jia Min almost exploded when he heard this, pressed his annoyance, and shook his head decisively, "Old lady, I'm going to Jiangnan, I'm not familiar with the place, how can I let the master go alone." Even if he puts two people to serve, and then he will deal with other official wives, is it possible that he can still use a girl to come forward? ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she snorted: "It's that you are jealous, how many officials in the world go out, and their wives stay at home." ”

Jia Min was also unhappy: "Knowing that I am jealous, you still mention this idea of poking my heart, am I your daughter." ”

Mother Jia slapped her hatefully: "If you weren't my daughter, I would be worried about what you were doing." She waved her hand and asked the girls waiting in the house to go out, and then lowered her voice and said to her daughter: "Concubine Shuniang is about to be sealed, and the prince must be His Royal Highness King Ning." You have had a good relationship with King Ning's family for so many years, and at this juncture, you can't go back to Beijing if you have to go out for many years. I don't keep in touch for a long time, and the relationship that is close is broken. Uncle goes to Jiangnan, you stay, you can still come and go with Princess Ning often, plus Rui'er has a good relationship with the prince, so that the relationship with His Royal Highness King Ning will not fade. ”

Jia Min smiled: "I know that the old lady is dedicated to my good, but I really don't worry about letting our master go to Jiangnan alone." ”

Mother Jia saw that she couldn't make sense of her daughter, so she had to lean back, "You are old and have your own ideas, I won't move you, let you make trouble." ”

"We have been friends with His Royal Highness King Ning for many years, and we know a little about each other's temperament. King Ning and Princess Ning are both people who miss the old love, and they are the most generous and benevolent, and they will not alienate us because they haven't seen each other for a few years. Jia Min took Jia's mother and shook it, "Moreover, Jiangnan is an important place in the country, and when others go, Prince Ning is not at ease." ”

Jia Mu pondered for a moment, and Fang sighed, "In the end, you are old, and your brain is stiff, not more than you young people think." Let's just let it go. ”

"The Zhen family in Jiangnan and we are old relatives, and the relationship is good, if you have difficulties in Jiangnan, you can go to them to solve a problem or two." Jia's mother was worried about her daughter and son-in-law, so she asked her to repair a book and bring it to her daughter. He personally packed countless things and let his daughter take them away.

Song's body has become weaker and weaker in the past two years, and she privately held Jia Min's hand and cried: "Sister." I'm afraid I won't be able to survive Brother Hu'er, they'll grow up. I thought I was going once I went. Hu Ge'er and Lian Ge'er, you can ask your sister to take care of one or two. I don't want my sister to leave too. ”

Jia Min made her cry so sadly, held back her tears, and explained: "Sister-in-law has to let go of her mind, if your eldest brother is not angry, you don't have to care about him, let him go." Just take care of your body, teach Brother Hu and Brother Lian, let them study and improve, and don't learn from the big brother. Sister-in-law. My sister said the truth, no matter how good others are, they can't kiss their mothers. ”

"Don't cry, sister-in-law's blessing is behind." Jia Min took a handkerchief to wipe Song's tears, and asked someone to fetch water to wash his face, before he came out of the side room with Song, and happened to meet Mrs. Wang with a group of girls. Jia Min took the lead in asking with a smile: "Where is the second sister-in-law from?" ”

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "The old lady commanded." I want to cook a few more dishes that my sister loves to eat, so I deliberately stared at them. ”

"I'm sorry sister-in-law." Jia Min blessed his body.

"Don't say that, it's all one family, how can you talk about two families." Mrs. Wang smiled. This time, Jia Min went back to her parents' house. I found that Mrs. Wang's attitude towards herself had changed greatly, and she was indescribably friendly and kind, as if the two of them had been dreaming when they didn't deal with each other before.

Because it is for Jia Min to practice. At dinner today, Song and Wang were both sitting. Banquet room. Mrs. Wang tentatively raised her head, "Do you say that my sister has a very good relationship with Princess Brown?" ”

"Not bad." Jia Min immediately understood what Mrs. Wang meant. Before. King Ning was in a state of turmoil, and he was not yet protected, so Mrs. Wang was naturally unwilling to come over and was implicated. Now that the situation is clear, of course you have to hug your thighs quickly.

"I don't know what the princess likes, seeing that it is almost the birthday of His Royal Highness King Ning, we also want to congratulate him." Madame Wang smiled very kindly, and asked carefully.

Jia Min lowered his eyes, "According to our family's example in previous years, just thicken it by three points." "Dear, it's true that you want to hug your thighs, but you shouldn't be too explicit, okay? If you're really stupid, you can't see it? Besides, the storage position has not been established, the edict has not been issued, and everything is within the two possibilities, can we add some trouble to others?

In the front yard, Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Yu and Jia Zheng, as well as Jia Jing in the East Mansion, and said: "The sage has not yet made an order, so we can't guess the emperor's heart." As it was in previous years, it will be as if it were this year. "If you don't have a smart person, then don't move as in previous years, so as not to cause trouble for yourself and cause trouble for others.

Jia Jing ended last year, but he didn't get serious, and he planned to study behind closed doors and take the exam again in two years. After listening to Lin Ruhai's words, he didn't say much, just nodded, indicating that he knew. Jia Zheng also understood, only Jia Yu was very unhappy, "Brother-in-law, didn't we say it in private from our family, if you put your mouth in my ears, who else knows?" Besides, if you don't serve in front of the emperor, we won't ask you. ”

The smile on Lin Ruhai's face faded, and he lowered his voice and said, "God still knows, and the Quartet knows it, how can no one know?" Besides, since my eldest brother knows that I am serving in front of the palace, he should not be embarrassed for me. If the words of the saint are revealed in his own mouth, he is only afraid that the butcher's knife will immediately press the neck. ”

Jia Yu asked Lin Ruhai to say ugly, "There are countless saints who favor ministers, but you are timid." ”

Lin Ruhai smiled, "My son has not grown up yet, and my ambitions have not been realized, so of course I want to be timid." Hehe, I regret my life. ”

Jia Yu asked Lin Ruhai to blush and blue for a while, and he got up and left if he had the heart, but he was reluctant to let go of the brother-in-law in front of him, who was favored by the saint. He sat there for a long time, and then raised his glass and said, "Come and drink." ”

Lin Ruhai raised the teacup, "Don't dare to drink, replace it with tea!" ”

Jia Yu slapped the table immediately, "Are you not giving face?" ”

Jia Zheng and Jia Jing hurriedly pressed Jia Yu's shoulders to prevent him from doing more excessive things, and Jia Zheng also played a round: "Big brother drank too much." ”

Lin Ruhai was not annoyed, and slowly explained: "I don't drink well, I get drunk when I drink, and I want to talk nonsense when I get drunk, I am really afraid that I will say something that I shouldn't say, so I simply don't drink." ”

Everyone explained, you can still not be relenting, Jia Yu, the depressed and the three people present, are not good for women to accompany the wine, so he drank even more depressed, and after a while, he fell drunk on the table. Jia Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly called someone to help him, and sent him back to his courtyard.

When there was no Jia Yu to stir up the situation, Jia Zheng asked: "Ruhai, in a few days, King Ning's birthday, you won't be in Beijing at that time, right?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Ruhai nodded.

Jia Zhengdao: "Do you want to send a congratulatory gift with us?" ”

Lin Ruhai smiled slightly: "I already asked someone to carry it over yesterday." ”

Jia Zheng: "......" is fast enough.

Lin Ruhai said: "Just like what I just said, how did Fuzhong do it in the past, it's the same this time." If you don't think it's right, make it thicker, but don't go too far. ”

Jia Zheng nodded, indicating that he understood. He also knew that the prince had not yet been established, but it was not easy to publicize. Then thicken it by five points?

I went back to the room in the evening, and listened to my wife Wang's dissatisfied: "I think that my sister has an old relationship with Princess Ning, so let's not blatantly give gifts to King Ning, and find something that Princess Ning likes to send over, which is also the meaning of our closeness." But my sister ......."

Jia Zheng frowned and said, "What did my sister say?" ”

"My sister said that it would be three points thicker than in previous years, and there was no need to worry about anything else." Mrs. Wang was unhappy, "Seeing that my sister and aunt are going to Jiangnan, I don't know if I have been there for a few years, no matter how good the relationship with Ning Wangfu is, I don't move around often, I'm afraid that I will be estranged." The old lady wanted to persuade her sister to stay, saving both of them from leaving, and the previous efforts were in vain. Moreover, his nephew is also studying at Mr. Yuan, where else can he find such a good teacher in the world. But my sister is worried about her brother-in-law, so she has to follow her to take office. I thought, if we walk around with King Ning more in the house, it can be regarded as my sister's relationship with King Ning is still unbroken. It's a pity ......"

Jia Zheng didn't say anything, and let Mrs. Wang complain for a long time before she spoke: "My aunt has seen a lot in front of the palace, and my sister has a lot of dealings with the princess and the edict, and she knows the details better than us." Do whatever she says, don't be smart. ”

Mrs. Wang was told by Jia Zhengyi, and she swallowed all the words in her stomach, and she had to pull out a smile: "What the master said is that I was wrong." ”

Jia Zheng suddenly remembered something, "Juan'er is unwell, you can call a doctor tomorrow to take a look." ”

Mrs. Wang's heart suddenly struck, that girl can't be there, right? She responded with a smile on her face, but she hated it to death in her heart.

I really wanted to come to something, and the next day I invited the doctor to take a look, Zhou Juan'er was really pregnant, and it was almost four months. At that time, Zhou Juan'er already knew, but she was afraid that the fetus would be unstable, so she hid it, and deliberately wore looser clothes, so that she was not seen.

Although Mrs. Wang was unhappy in her heart, she still had to smile on her face, and told Zhou Juan'er to rest and not go out for a walk if she had nothing to do. On the other hand, he asked the girl to take half a piece of silk, a few pieces of jewelry, and twenty taels of silver to reward her. also went to Rongqing Hall in person and reported it to Jia's mother.

There are several grandchildren and granddaughters of Jia's mother, and they don't take the child conceived by a girl very seriously, so they only said lightly: "Let her have a good child, and when she gives birth to a son, I will reward her again." ”

Jia Zheng's attitude made Mrs. Wang feel a lot better, Jia Zheng came back in the evening, learned about it, and his face was unhappy, "Didn't you drink the soup of avoiding children?" Speaking of which, he now has a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law, and he doesn't really want a child born to a girl.

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, "The soup is not all safe, besides, the medicine is big, I am afraid that it will damage their bodies, so I specially instructed them to consider it." ”

As soon as Jia Zheng was told by Mrs. Wang, although his suspicions were not gone, he did not pursue it again. It's not bad to have multiple children, is he spoiling her too much? Since then, Jia Zhengzhi often rests in Mrs. Wang's house, which makes her sour and happy.

Besides, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min will set off soon, and everyone who intersects with the two will practice. As Lin Ruhai's only sister, Lin Yun naturally brought her daughter and husband to the Lin family.

When Lin Yun saw Jia Min, after the cold noise, he held the fragrant tea in his hand, but he didn't know what to say for a while, and he said for a long time: "Sister-in-law, take care of yourself." ”

Jia Min saw that Lin Yun had long since lost the brightness of his boudoir, and was replaced by a faint resentment between his eyebrows. She sighed secretly and asked, "Brother Qi'er is okay?" ”

Qi Ge'er is the son born to Lin Yun last year, he has been married for several years, and he has two daughters, Mrs. Pingnanhou doesn't want to wait, so she wants to stop the concubine's soup, and wants the concubine to have a child, or Jia Min went to Pingnanhou's mansion and talked with Mrs. Pingnanhou for a long time before she dispelled this idea. Last year, Lin Yun died nine times before giving birth to Brother Qi, and she finally did not suffer in vain. (To be continued......)
