"My uncle is going to Jiangnan, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and I hope to cherish it more." Xuancheng raised his glass very sincerely, and there was a hint of complexity in his eyes. He is about the same age as Lin Ruhai, and when he usually comes and goes, he thinks that his talent is not weaker than him, but he doesn't want others to be reused by the emperor, but he is still just a son of the world. He couldn't help but have mixed tastes, and his mind floated.

To be honest, Lin Ruhai has a very ordinary impression of this brother-in-law, but they are also a natural ally, and they get along with each other on weekdays. He smiled and raised his glass, "Borrow my sister-in-law's auspicious words." ”

The two pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and said a lot of gossip insincerely, but fortunately, it was all sweet rice wine, so as not to get drunk. Lin Ruhai's habit of chatting for half an hour before talking about business with Xuancheng really despises him as much as he wants. But people are honest and capable, and they talk to you about homely things, making you think that people are just here to talk about gossip, and they don't have anything to do with what he wants to say, which makes people not admire.

"Hehe, sister-in-law can say something directly." Lin Ruhai was forced by his wife, and he also had something to educate Xuancheng. He hurried up and finished his business, and he could finish his wife's explanation.

Xuancheng's smile froze, and then he poured wine for Lin Ruhai with a pot as if nothing happened, "Since my uncle can see it, then I will say it bluntly." ”

"Please."

"I have always admired Mr. Yuan, but I know that my qualifications are dull, and I dare not ask to worship Mr. Yuan, I only want to listen to the teachings occasionally, and the rest of my wish is enough." Xuancheng seemed to be a little embarrassed, and his face was slightly red.

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, and smiled embarrassedly. "What, Mr. said he would go to Jiangnan with me." So. If you want to catch Xiao Jin through Old Man Yuan, it won't work.

The smile on Xuancheng's face was completely stiff this time. It took a long time to grin, "That's a shame." "Don't you want to be so coincidental, as soon as I say that I want to go to class, you say that Mr. Yuan wants to go to Jiangnan with you, don't you believe it. Xuancheng only thought that Lin Ruhai refused to help him here, and he was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart, of course, he didn't show it on his face, and he still spoke to Lin Ruhai attentively. But think about it, too, when Xiao Jin was unlucky before. Lin Ruhai and Xiao Jin corresponded, and Xuancheng also went home and complained to Lin Yun for a long time, and restricted Lin Yun from allowing her to have more contact with her mother's family. From that time on, Xuancheng gradually became estranged from Lin Yun, and even used the excuse of having no children to let him bring back two good sons and talk about his son.

Who would have thought that Lin Ruhai's wife was so powerful, after hearing the news. immediately walked around the Hou Mansion, and even said that it was damaged, and almost didn't peel off his mother's face. His mother can't fight back, and others take advantage of it. The teachings of a sage, whether it is the sages or the present, are not something they can refute and say is wrong.

If it was before. How could Mrs. Pingnanhou be honest and honest Ren Jia Minxun. But her own mother died a few years ago, and she lost one of her biggest backers. Although Pingnanhou said that he had made a fuss before. forcibly separated from his younger brother, but Emperor Qixiang has always been lukewarm to him. It's just a mix. Seeing Lin Ruhai exploring flowers, entering the Hanlin, and entering the palace, they finally properly mixed into the red people in front of the emperor, and they had to give up three points even if they were in the Hou Mansion.

Lin Ruhai had been thinking about what to say, and he was a little distracted, Xuancheng saw his eldest brother's eyes staring at him from time to time, not moving, his back was a little cold, and his hairs stood on end, he coughed lightly uncomfortably: "Uncle, but something?" ”

Lin Ruhai nodded affirmatively, "There is indeed something, I want to talk to my sister-in-law." He waved his hand, and the servants in the house immediately retreated honestly, and in an instant, only Lin Ruhai and Xuancheng were left in the house.

When Xuancheng looked at this frame, he thought that Lin Ruhai was going to tell him something important, and immediately became excited, thinking in his heart, could it be that he wanted to hint at the prince's affairs with me? Do I want to mention it directly, let my uncle lead the line, so that I can take over with the prince? He was thinking about things here, and after listening to Lin Ruhai's words, the whole person was sick, and asked in disbelief: "What did my uncle just say?" ”

Lin Ruhai was also very embarrassed, taking care of the affairs of other couples. Mainly, he has never regarded Lin Yun as his own sister, if he was his own sister, he would have rolled up his sleeves and smoked Xuancheng. Speaking of which, Lin Ruhai's feelings for Lin Yun are not as much as Jia Min's feelings for her. "My sister-in-law also knows that there are only two left in our family, my sister and me. Originally, they were all in the capital, and they could still take care of one or two. But I'm going to Jiangnan soon, and I'm really worried about her. ”

Xuancheng immediately confessed: "Uncle, don't worry, I will take good care of my wife." ”

"Hehe, it's just that you take care of me so I don't feel at ease." Lin Ruhai showed a particularly indebted smile, "My sister-in-law has too much affection, and the mind that should have been put on my sister alone is now I don't know how many shares to share." Before...... he said twice, waved his hand and said: "Let's not mention the past, you also think it's wrong, it's corrected, let's skip it." ”

Xuancheng was almost jumped up and beat people by him, you slapped people in the face than you said directly! But the previous incident was indeed that their family did not do a good job, and it did mean to bully Lin Ruhai's humble position, and now that he is told to his face again, he can only endure it, and he has to apologize, "It was indeed me who was wrong before, and I was wronged." ”

Lin Ruhai: "It's good that you know. However......" raised his eyes and glanced at Xuancheng, "The person who provoked your husband and wife before, I heard that he is still in the house." ”

Xuancheng gritted his teeth, "Uncle misheard, those two have already been disposed of." ”

"Just dispose of it." Lin Ruhai touched the cup with Xuancheng with a smile on his face, and dropped a bomb: "Let's go, maybe when we will come back, everyone will have to resign, but I have limited time and can't go over in person, and I hope my uncle and aunt won't be surprised." ”

Xuancheng understood, Lin Ruhai didn't believe his words at all, and he had to let his wife see it in person. The girls around Lin Yun, the deed of sale are all in the Lin family, and Lin Ruhai's wife will definitely be able to ask if she goes. He made up his mind and dealt with the man tomorrow. didn't move before, because he felt that Jia Min, his sister-in-law, was too strong, and he also stayed to warn Lin Yun. Now it seems that it was a mistake.

Xuancheng was pulled by Lin Ruhai and instilled a set of 27 rules for husband and wife harmony. It was dizzy to hear, and it was easy to get out. The horse stopped riding, and got into Lin Yun's car directly. One in. He realized that Lin Yun's eyes were red, as if he had just cried, and he felt a little annoyed, "What are you crying for?" Uncle this is a good thing that he has been reused by the saints. ”

Lin Yun can be regarded as able to afford to put it down, and he has already received his love for Xuancheng in the past few years, and he only lives as a partner between the two. Hearing this, he said lightly: "That's my own brother, even if I'm happy for him." It's also inevitable to be sad. ”

Xuancheng: "......"

"My sister-in-law said that I would go home in three days." After Lin Yun said this, he leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes. She thought of Jia Min's words just now, and her heart was mixed. When she was not married, she looked at Jia Min, her sister-in-law, every day unpleasantly, and always felt that everything that happened to the Lin family later was because of her. Unexpectedly, after getting married, she stood up for her at a critical moment. It's actually this sister-in-law she can't look down on.

Xuancheng saw Lin Yun's expression was indifferent, and ignored him, so that he felt that she was more lovely than her previous virtuous appearance. He leaned closer and took Lin Yun's hand: "Go back today." Just call someone Yazi to come and sell Su Yue. ”

Lin Yun opened his eyes and looked at him when he heard this, "Lan Xiang and Mei Xiang are the two of my wife's rewards?" ”

"Their hearts are big. It was not appropriate to keep it any longer, so it was sold together. Mother where I will say. Xuancheng was fooled by Lin Ruhai, and he already believed that King Ning Xiao Jin was a person who paid special attention to rules. And he is very interested in people's character, and only the noble can get their favor.

Xuancheng himself also knew that what Lin Ruhai said to him had water, but he still had to listen, because there was still a little friction between their family and King Ning. He didn't want to wait for King Ning to ascend the throne, and he would be like his father, and he couldn't get in front of the emperor at all. And if you want to win Xiao Jin's favor, it is safe to go from Lin Ruhai's side, are they in-laws. In this way, even if he knew that he had been fooled, he had to pinch his nose and admit it.

Lin Ruhai sent the two away, and when he returned to the room, he complained to Jia Min, "How much trouble did that girl cause you before, why do you still care about her." ”

Jia Min said: "I'm not for her, I'm for our daughter." Lin Yun got married and was bullied by her in-laws, if we don't get ahead, someone will dare to do this to our daughter in the future. ”

Lin Ruhai: == The girl has no shadow yet, and she has even thought about getting married in the future, is she a little too advanced!

Even though the time was tight, Jia Min still went to the Pingnanhou Mansion, first greeted Mrs. Pingnanhou, and then sat down and talked before going to Lin Yun's house. This time, when she entered Lin Yun's house again, she felt a lot more refreshed. Looking at the people around Lin Yun again, they were all dressed as girls, and even the previous dowry girl was gone.

Lin Yun smiled faintly: "I thought that they were also old, so I let them go out to marry, and I would come back to serve in the future." ”

Jia Min didn't say much this time, she took this trip more to remind a few people from the Pingnan Hou family, don't look at us leaving, but I have many friends, dare to treat the Lin family woman again, hehe......

Before Jia Min left, Lin Yun solemnly made a big salute, "Thank you sister-in-law for bothering." ”

"The family doesn't speak two words, you are the sister of your husband, that is, my sister, this is all as it should be." Jia Min smiled lightly, his voice was light and soft, and he couldn't say anything good: "It's just that now your mother-in-law and your husband's eyes are on King Ning, and because your brother is friendly with His Royal Highness King Ning, this is a step forward." But we can't go too far, and we can only help here, and how you will live the rest of the day depends on yourself. ”

Lin Yun said solemnly: "Don't worry." She has no expectations for her husband and goes to feelings, so she can naturally be a virtuous and generous wife. Isn't that what he wants, it's just that you don't want to have any other children in your life except for the children I gave birth to.

"If only you wanted to figure it out." Jia Min sighed, glanced at Lin Yun again, and turned to leave.

Lin Ruhai was appointed, this time the family moved, and there were many salutes to clean up, plus Mr. Yuan, and it took five boats to install it. Jia Min was worried about the jars, "What can we do with these road vegetables, it's enough for us to eat for a year." "The so-called road vegetables are those vegetables that are not easy to spoil, put into the altar and used exclusively for the road to travel.

In the past few years, I have practiced it for people, and I love to send some road dishes. Jia Min asked people to make a lot of them before, plus the ones sent by King Ning and Yang Ze, the Jia family, the Shi family, and the princesses of the kings of the eastern, southern, western, and northern counties. It's no wonder that Jia Min is worried, these road dishes are just not easy to break. If you don't eat it for a long time, you'll definitely have to throw it away.

Lin Ruhai waved his hand. "Will you give it to the boatman?"

"Yes."

Walking by water from Shendu to Gusu took almost a month. It was really Lin Ruhai who was seasick and dizzy, and he stopped and stopped, and finally arrived at the place. He was the first to jump out of the boat, and he felt himself standing on the flat ground, as if he were still on the boat.

The Jiangnan Provincial Supervision Imperial History Yamen was located in Gusu, and some people knew that the new governor was going to arrive recently, so they went to the dock every day to wait, and finally received someone on this day. hurriedly stepped forward to salute and say hello, and wanted to help the Lin family move things. was stopped by Lin Ruhai and asked about some official matters. The people who had been sent to Gusu had already carried a sedan chair over, and someone had gone to ask Old Man Yuan and Jia Min to get off the boat.

Lin Ruhai left the big housekeeper to watch things, and took the first step himself, sending his teacher, his daughter-in-law, and son back to the Lin family first. The ancestral home of the Lin family is Gusu, and now there is an old mansion in Gusu City, and Lin Ruhai went to Jiangnan to take office this time. I'm going to live in the old house. After he received the order, Jia Min first sent someone to repair the house so that they could have a place to live when they arrived.

After Lin Ruhai arrived, many people came to invite. The governor of Liangjiang, the governor of Jiangnan, and his subordinates, and then the Zhen family. He went around for a while. When I went to Yamen, more than a month had passed. He sat in the yamen. I suddenly found that I didn't have a thorough understanding of my job, and I didn't have a general understanding of Jiangnan officialdom. Nima, where has she been for more than a month?

Jia Min had just cleaned up the house, so tired that he was too lazy to move on the bed. Compared with Lin Ruhai's busyness, Jia Min is much more relaxed here, because many officials and wives only sent posts and gifts, saying that they had just arrived, and the family affairs were complicated, and they would come to visit when the food was quiet. Even so, Jia Min was still busy for a month before he roughly settled down in all aspects.

After cleaning up the house, Jia Min stumbled with the account books, and from time to time someone posted to invite people, or visited the door, her work this time dragged on for a longer time.

Everyone thought that Lin Ruhai was reused by Emperor Qixiang, and when he arrived in Jiangnan, he would definitely let go of his hands and feet, and the three fires of the new appointment would definitely burn to the full. For this, they gritted their teeth and planned to release some unimportant things, and let him participate and sue, but Lin Ruhai's performance was completely beyond their expectations. He sat firmly in the yamen supervising the imperial history, looked through the previous files every day, and after getting tired of reading them, he took the people full of Gusu, so that everyone was really confused by the second monk, and he didn't know what calculations he had in his heart.

Lin Ruhai's mind was very easy to guess at that time, he was smeared here in Jiangnan, and he didn't even understand his own work, and he was embarrassed to come up and shoot people. If you want to make political achievements, you have to let him touch Jiangnan first.

"Madam, the third wife of Jiangliugang is here." Jia Min had just dealt with family affairs, so he listened to the girl to report the news.

She looked at her book and sighed, when will she be able to sort it out when she sees people like this? I thought so, but I still commanded: "Please come in quickly." "After entertaining the official's wife, there is one more thing, that is, the clansmen.

The ancestral home of the Lin family is Gusu, and now there are many clansmen living in Gusu, and there are occasionally one or two officials, and the official positions are not high, but they are only eight or nine grades. The rest of them are studying, doing business, or farming, and their lives are still passable.

Since Lin Ruhai and his wife returned to Gusu, these clansmen have all come to visit, and both husband and wife have also increased their gifts. In this way, it is inevitable that there will be people who come to the door to fight the autumn wind, at first it was a temptation of three or fifty taels, and then it was a few hundred taels of mouth, which made Jia Min annoyed.

"Yo, my brother and sister are so beautiful today, do you still have this dress?" The husband of the third wife of Jiang Liugang is more than 20 years older than Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, and her husband is also a scholar, but he has only studied all his life, and he has not even passed the test. Since I heard that Lin Ruhai was in the flower exploration and went to Jiangnan to be an official, I made up my mind to go to the house from time to time to consult my homework.

This third lady is surnamed Liu, and her mother's family is also a little squire, since marrying Lin Bin, she has been calculating her life every day, calculating and calculating, and calculating a stinky problem of loving to take advantage of small advantages.

She came with her husband to see Lin Ruhai and his wife, first she was dazzled by the big house, and then she was red by Jia Min's dress, and after she got fifty taels of silver, a silk horse, and two gold hairpins with her cheekiness, she decided that Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were wronged, and they came to sit every once in a while. Let's see what else I can stop by.

Jia Min held the tea with a shallow smile on his face. "The clothes are there, but I don't dare to give them to my sister-in-law."

"How?"

"I'm afraid of overstepping the system." Jia Min came out today deliberately wearing clothes and jewelry that the third wife could not wear. Just to gag her.

Sure enough, Liu's face was red and white for a while, and he smiled curtly: "Hehe, I know, I know." Today is not good, and she can't sit down anymore, so she got up and said goodbye after a while.

Mo Ju sent her out of the yard with a smile, and when she came back, she couldn't help but take a sip of "bah", and said with disdain: "Look at her like that." You deserve to dress like your wife! ”

Jia Min's face sank, "Shut up." ”

Mo Ju immediately lowered her head and knelt down, "Madam, the slave is wrong. ”

Jia Min took a deep breath, slowed down his expression, and waved his hand: "You get up first." ”

Mo Ju peeked at Jia Min's face, and saw that it had eased up, and it was no longer as depressed as before. dared to get up slowly, and the rest of the girls in the room, because Jia Min was angry, were honestly doing the work in their hands. I didn't dare to say more than half a sentence.

Jia Min saw that several girls were very nervous, smiled slightly, and sighed: "Although the third sister-in-law loves to take advantage. But she couldn't help it. Except for studying and taking exams, the husband doesn't care about anything mundane. There are only two shops in the house. It's not big, and there's not much input. There are six or seven children in the family, so she can't help it. Alas, it is not easy for a woman to support a family, even if she doesn't like her like this, she should be more considerate. ”

Mo Ju's face was ashamed, "Madam, you punish the slave and maid." ”

"Okay, it's not a big deal, you just write it down." Jia Min waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Although I understand her, I am really tired of her temperament, otherwise I can wear this body to meet guests." ”

In a word, several girls laughed, and the atmosphere in the room was relaxed.

When Lin Ruhai came back in the evening, Jia Min mentioned the matter of Liu's coming, and Lin Ruhai also had a headache, "Where did our family come from so many relatives!" ”

Jia Min said with a smile: "Fu has distant relatives in the mountains, you should have heard this sentence." ”

"But we don't have gold and silver in our family, so it's not a matter to always give it like this!" Especially after seeing the relatives who couldn't hit the eight poles, they all came to take advantage of their own taste, which was really uncomfortable for his mother.

Jia Min persuaded him: "Didn't we just come here, the first time we came to the door, it was always difficult for people to leave empty-handed." There will be another time, but it will not be so easy. "She has already asked someone to go to Chalin Family and the situation of these clansmen, and after finding out what needs help, she will know which ones need help, and where to throw them aside and cool off.

Jia Min suddenly remembered something: "By the way, how much is your income in a year now?" ”

Lin Ruhai pursed his lips, "If you have a normal income, you will have two hundred taels of silver a year." ”

"What kind of ice respect, charcoal respect, etc.?"

"That's really hard to say, it should be more than Kyori, right?" Lin Ruhai scratched his head.

"Just use your year's income to support your family's people." Jia Min slapped the board directly. Her husband only earned two hundred taels of silver, and the clan's share has never been asked, and they have all been invested in the clan study, are you still embarrassed to borrow money every day? As for the other income of the Lin family, I'm sorry, I used it to give gifts to my husband. Their family's food and clothing are all her private money. Hehe, how big is the face, embarrassed to ask for her private money?

Lin Ruhai's eyes widened in surprise: "Daughter-in-law, shouldn't it?" ”

It's a pity that there are many shameless people in this world, especially when they see that others have won silver for nothing, and they don't get what they don't get, no matter how you think about it, you won't be willing. If you borrow it for the first time, you think about it a second time.

When Lin Ruhai sent the first letter of ginseng, Jia Min also received an uncle and grandmother at home who were two seniors higher than their husband and wife. Although Jia Min didn't know where this uncle and grandmother came from, he was indeed a member of the Lin family.

My uncle and grandmother were in their sixties, with gray hair and looked very energetic. When I walked in, I didn't need to be supported by my two daughters-in-law.

After the cold noise between the two sides, the guests and hosts sat down, Jia Min asked someone to serve tea, and put the fruit on the table, the last time the old lady came, she said that she likes to eat sweet and soft snacks.

The old lady was happy when she saw the snack box open, "It's hard for you to remember my words." As he spoke, he directly reached out and took one, so that the girl who went to hold the basin and fetch water was stunned, and she didn't know if she should come over again. Mo Ju made a look, and the girl led people out.

My uncle and grandmother looked at the dim sum and boasted, "It's so handsome, I can't bear to eat it." "That is what he said, and his mouth was not slow at all, and in a short time half a plate went in.

A few girls said in their hearts: When the people are gone, they will pour this snack, so that the uncle will come back for a while and eat it again. (To be continued......)
