Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's family of four returned to Beijing by boat, after the boat arrived at the wharf, Rongguofu sent someone to pick it up, Jia Min took his children and went back to his parents' house directly, but Lin Ruhai went to the post house, and after resting, he handed over the sign to meet. That night, he slept in the inn.

The queen mother in the palace occasionally felt the wind and cold, and the Yongping Emperor Xiao Jin and the queen Cui, and the prince and the princess stayed in front of the queen mother's bed until the third watch in the middle of the night, and the queen mother retreated from the fever. After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, he replied that the queen mother was well, the fever had subsided, and she slept more peacefully. Xiao Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Cui Shi persuaded softly: "The queen mother is here here, you go and rest for a while, isn't Ming'er always Chaori?" ”

The crown prince Xiao Chen also said: "Father, emperor and queen mother, go to rest, the imperial grandmother is here with me and the crown princess." ”

The crown princess Yang has only been married to the crown prince for more than half a year, and she is still in the newlywed period, so she stood beside the queen obediently with her head down and did not speak.

Xiao Jin waved his hand, "But occasionally I don't sleep all night, it's nothing." When it comes to the queen, your body is not very tough, so go and rest first. ”

He himself refused to rest, the queen, how could the prince go, he was the concubine in the palace, although he couldn't go to the queen mother's palace to serve the sick, he refused to sleep that night. If there is a small Buddha hall in the palace, the scriptures will be recited in the small Buddha hall. There is no small Buddha hall, so in front of the Buddha statue that he enshrines, he closes his eyes and recites the scriptures.

This night, there was another person who didn't sleep, and this was Jia Yuanchun.

She has been in the palace for four years and has been the female history in charge of the queen's ceremonial duties. Although he is also known in front of the queen, there are not many opportunities to meet a saint. The saint and the queen have a deep relationship, and there are not many concubines in the palace, except for the old people in the East Palace before, they have only been selected into four or five good families over the years, and their positions are not high, and they are not favored.

Before Yuan Chun entered the palace, he was also ambitious, thinking that he was outstanding. Unwilling to marry at will, he decided to enter the palace and fight for the holy favor. But when you enter the palace, you know how far the distance between the female history and the palace concubine is. The rules in the palace are extremely strict, not to mention that they serve people like this, and female officials are ordinary palace concubines, if they want to create a chance encounter in private to hook up with a saint, don't even think about it.

She still remembers the second year of entering the palace. The biological mother of the Seventh Prince, somehow found out the news, and the Zhilu Dao Saint would go to the Imperial Garden every day to sit. She found an opportunity and created a chance encounter. It's a pity that she was charming and charming, and it did not arouse the pity of the saint, but let the queen demote her position and move directly to the cold palace. It was still the concubine who gave birth to a prince for the saint, and she also ended up like this. Yuan Chun only felt that his heart was half cold at that time. The other half, in the past two years of life in the deep palace, is also going to be cool.

"Girl, it's late at night. Go to sleep. Shiqin came over distressed and persuaded her.

Yuan Chun came back to his senses, rubbed his sore wrist, shook his head and said, "It's nothing to stay up all night once in a while, I'll finish copying these Buddhist scriptures." Ming'er is good to send it to the queen's mother. In the past few years, she has also understood that she wants to live well in the palace. You have to please the queen. She is quite good, with the relationship between her aunt and the queen, and the queen is kind to her. The rest of the female histories who entered the palace with her were not so lucky. In the past few years, one after another, two have had accidents and have been sent home.

Shiqin thought of the news he heard today, came over quietly, and whispered in Yuan Chun's ear: "Girl, the slave maid went out today, and I heard a few little eunuchs say that our aunt and master have been transferred back to serve as the head of the household department." ”

Yuan Chun was stunned for a moment, turned back with a hint of surprise, lowered his voice and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

"It should be."

However, after only a moment of joy, the smile on Yuan Chun's face faded. What's the use of my uncle coming back, my aunt didn't participate in her entering the palace back then, and I want her to recommend herself in front of the queen's mother, I'm afraid it's more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Shiqin didn't know what to say, why did her own girl just laugh, but was more silent, she called out worriedly: "Girl? ”

Yuan Chun sighed: "Turn the lights on again, time is running out, and I still have a lot to finish." "It's better to rely on anyone than on yourself, she doesn't believe that she will have no results.

The night passed quickly, and the Queen Mother did not have a fever again, so Xiao Jin was really relieved. Today is Chang Chaori, he instructed the queen a few words, led the prince back to change his court clothes, and prepared to go to court.

When washing and changing, he listened to Dai Quan's report, "Sage, Lord Lin arrived in Beijing yesterday, and he also handed over a sign to ask for a meeting." ”

Xiao Jin's face was happy, "After the morning court, call him in." ”

"Yes."

After the early dynasty, outside the imperial study, many ministers were in Hou, and they saw Dai Quan, the supervisor of Daming Palace, accompanied a middle-aged man in a first-class official uniform with a smile on his face. People in the officialdom, the news is naturally well-informed, and when I saw people, I guessed that the person who was accompanied by Dai Quan must be the Tobe Shangshu Lin Ruhai who only arrived in Kyoto yesterday.

Seeing that Dai Quan didn't even report it, he went in directly with Lin Hai, and when he entered the door, he also diligently helped him pick out the curtain. What kind of treatment is this, Dai Quan is nothing more than this for saints on weekdays. The gaze cast by these officials on Lin Ruhai's back became a little hotter in an instant.

"Lord Lin, wait a minute, the saint has gone to see the Queen Mother, and he will be back in a while." Dai Quan held a cup of tea in his own hand, put it in front of Lin Ruhai, and said with a smile.

Lin Ruhai bowed slightly, and said with a light smile: "There is Father-in-law." ”

As he was talking, Xiao Jin had already come back and sent a little eunuch to call Lin Ruhai over.

After the salute, Xiao Jin did not sit back on the main seat, but sat down on the couch by the window. He smiled and pointed to the opposite side of himself, and said to Lin Ruhai: "Sit." ”

Lin Ruhai didn't shirk either, he sat down opposite Xiao Jin generously, and smiled at Xiao Jin, "Drink the big red robe." ”

Xiao Jin glanced at him, but still waved at Dai Quan. Dai Quan bowed silently, and then retreated with the palace maids and eunuchs in the house.

"Tell me, what do you think of the household?" Xiao Jin opened his mouth in a low voice.

Lin Ruhai lowered his head and thought about it, before he raised his eyes and said, "I'm not familiar with the household department, I can't answer if you ask like this." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows.

"Wait until I'm familiar with it for a while." Lin Ruhai Road.

"It's fine."

"The Queen Mother, her old man is sick?" Lin Ruhai looked at the blood in his senior brother's eyes, and asked earnestly, "How is it now?" Visible, okay? ”

Xiao Jin replied: "It's nothing." Then he fell silent, tapped his slender fingers on the table, and after a long time, he spoke, "Either this year, or next year, I will take a few more concubines." ”

Lin Ruhai looked up suspiciously. What does it matter to me that you accept my little wife, do you have to say a special sentence if you need it?

Xiao Jin smiled slightly, "Your wife's niece is now in the palace, right?" ”

After Xiao Jin's reminder, Lin Ruhai remembered, and he frowned: "You're not." ”

"Don't worry, even for your sake, I will be open to Rongguo Mansion. It's just that her mother is the younger sister of Wang Ziteng, and now the four families in Jinling are ...... with the prince."

Lin Ruhai intercepted: "That's not what you brought up by yourself. ”

Xiao Jin glared: "Do you think I'm willing!" "Even if it's an emperor, it's impossible to really say a word. He is also in constant compromise. Slowly take control of the situation. And some people, after he weighed everything, he was reluctant to bring it up, and Wang Ziteng was one of them.

"Okay, okay, I know everything, don't complain to me anymore." Lin Ruhai waved his hand again and again, revealing a scared expression.

Xiao Jin snorted, "The Wang family is not without a daughter of appropriate age, but it's a pity." Wang Ziteng is very shrewd, he has long been aiming at the crown prince. ”

Lin Ru smiled as a thief, "Sage, aren't you jealous of your own son!" ”

"Get out of the way." Xiao Jin scolded him with a smile. "Besides, I don't really want to choose people to enter the palace again, just use the few who entered the palace before." Obviously, Xiao Jin has made up his mind. is to tell Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai didn't agree with his idea at the time, "The matter of the DPRK and the central government will be solved slowly." Do you need to sell yourself? ”

Xiao Jin was so angry with him that he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, "You get out of here." ”

Lin Ruhai really got up, and his attitude was very resolute: "Anyway, I don't think this idea is very good, you are thinking about it." ”

Xiao Jin stopped speaking, "Okay, I'll think about it again." Go ahead, I'm tired today, wait for the Queen Mother, and I will give you a drink. ”

"Okay." Lin Ruhai got up and left with a smile.

After the face, Lin Ruhai could go home, he first went to Rongguo Mansion to pick up his wife and children, and was warmly received by the owners of Ningrong and Rong, and even Jia Jing, who went to cultivate, came. Lin Ruhai was drunk and sent to the guest room.

In Rongqing Hall, Jia Min sent people home early in the morning to settle things and tidy up the yard, and he personally took the car home to take a look, leaving countless orders. After eating lunch, it was considered a steal, and while accompanying Jia's mother to gossip, a little girl came in and replied: "Old lady, aunt, aunt is drunk." ”

Jia Min heard this and quickly got up, "Where are the people?" ”

"The second master ordered someone to send it to the guest house."

Jia Min said: "Old lady, I'll go over and take a look." ”

Jia Mu nodded, "You don't have to come over, serve your aunt well." ”

Jia Min explained a few words to her daughter, and helped the girl to the guest house. When I entered the courtyard gate, I saw Lin Rui with a polite smile on his face, talking to two girls wearing green satin tooth pinching vests, "Uncle Lao is worried, my father is here for me to serve, two sisters, please go back." ”

"Rui'er?"

"Mother."

Jia Min slowly paced over and asked with a smile, "How is your father?" Pretty drunk? ”

Lin Rui said: "I've already fallen asleep, and I vomited just now." ”

"This person ......" Jia Min was a little annoyed, and directly lifted the curtain and walked inside.

Xinghong and Xiaojuan looked at each other, and at the same time blessed Lin Rui, Xinghong said: "Since Mrs. Gu is here, we will go back." ”

Lin Rui didn't bother to say anything, nodded casually, and turned around and entered the house.

Xinghong and Xiaojuan left the guest house, put away the smile on their faces, and complained in a low voice: "I don't know what Mrs. Lu Dao thinks, Mrs. Gu is here, and she asked us to serve my aunt." ”

Xiao Juan said: "I heard that the master let it." ”

"Okay, okay, don't care who let it, the faces of the two of us are all lost today. I came here on purpose, but I didn't even enter the door. Xinghong had a calm face, and went all the way into Xing's house, not wanting Jia Yu to be there.

Xing asked in surprise: "Didn't I ask you to serve my aunt, why did you come back?" ”

Xinghong stepped forward to ask for a salute first, "Mrs. Gu is here, and we will come back." ”

Xing Shi just asked that sentence, which is to explain to Jia Yu, I have listened to your words and sent someone over.

Jia Yu was not very happy, and glanced at Xinghong and Xiaojuan. "Why did you choose these two?"

Xing didn't want to offend Jia Min, and had to listen to Jia Yu's words, so he chose two ordinary maids. She really didn't know what Lu Dao Jia Yu thought, and actually told her that she wanted to send Lin Ruhai two girls who were waiting for her. Damn, all the girls in the family who have a flat head and a straight face have asked him to be touched, are you embarrassed to give it to your aunt? She secretly slandered, and she had to smile and say: "I look at it, only the two of them are more careful on weekdays." Those who serve are also thoughtful. ”

Jia Yu is not stupid, after a little thought, he knows what Lu Dao Xing means, but he doesn't think there is anything about it, he is just a girl, is it just a plaything. "Ming'er, you go and tell the old lady to choose two gentle and excellent girls at home and send them to your brother-in-law. Previously in Gangnam. There is no one else around my brother-in-law except my sister, so it's nothing. The left and right sides are far away from the saints, and they are not in the middle of the court. Now they have returned. My brother-in-law made a household book again, and there were no two people around to serve him, so he was too unseemly, and he was not afraid of people's jokes. "Mention this. Jia Yu was quite dissatisfied with Jia Min, "It's all the old lady who spoils her sister, and she is jealous." You tell the old lady Ming'er to let her old man talk about her sister. Where have the four female books been learned, and the three from the four virtues have not been forgotten. ”

Xing Shi really pouted when she heard this, she wanted Jia Min to know what to say, and she promised that Jia Min would dare to point at Jia Yu's nose and scold him.

In the guest house, Jia Min asked Lin Rui, and knew that the two girls were sent by the Xing family, raised his eyebrows, and smiled. She didn't say much to Lin Rui, but only told her son: "You sleep with your father tonight, and when Ming'er wakes up, we'll go home." ”

"Yes." Lin Rui replied with his hand.

Early the next morning, Jia Min insisted on going home, but Jia's mother couldn't keep it, so she had to let their family go back.

Mrs. Wang heard about the previous lawsuit, casually glanced at Mrs. Xing, who was sitting opposite, and persuaded Mother Jia with a smile: "Don't be sad old lady, Mrs. Zuo Gu has also moved back, and the family lives not far away, so I often send someone to invite her back in the future." ”

Mother Jia pounded the mat hatefully, "This ruthless girl, I have to go back in a hurry, and I won't stay for two more days." ”

Mrs. Wang gave Wang Xifeng a look, and when Sister Feng saw it, she stepped forward with a smile, "Old lady, why don't you want to stay for two more days and be filial to you." It's just that the brother-in-law has already met the king, and he will immediately go to the household department to take office. At that time, the subordinate colleagues will inevitably come to the house to visit, and we can't let my brother-in-law meet people in our house. ”

When she said this, Jia Mu thought about it, but she still didn't look very happy, and it wasn't until Baoyu came back from school that she slowly smiled. However, as soon as Na Baoyu came back, he found that the fairy-like sister who came from earlier had returned home, not to mention how depressed he was. After a hasty dinner, I lay down on the bed. When the girl saw it, they all came over to say something he liked to hear and make him happy.

Just now, I coaxed people to change colors, and I listened to the next door, "Bang dang." There was a crisp sound, but it was the sound of porcelain being thrown to the ground. Then I heard Jia Mu shout angrily: "Go and catch that evil obstacle." ”

Jia Mu was angry, where did the girls dare to laugh again, and they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere. Baoyu got up and got out of bed, put on his shoes and walked to the door, and lifted the curtain to get out.

"Ancestor, don't be angry." He took a few steps over, stroked his chest and beat his back, and after a while, Jia's mother's color eased back. "This is who made the old lady angry, tell me, I'll go back to the old lady."

When Jia Mu saw Baoyu coming, she suppressed her anger, but it was not good to tell him, so she coaxed him, "It's okay, I'm not angry, you go to sleep quickly, Ming'er has to get up early to go to school." Jia Min didn't come back in vain, and yesterday I found a time to give Jia's mother another lesson. Therefore, in the past two days, she did not protect Baoyu, but urged him to go to school.

It was easy to coax Baoyu to go back, where Jia Mu was still angry, Mandarin Duck persuaded softly: "Old lady, it's late, you should rest, if you have anything to say, it's not too late to call the eldest master to come over and give instructions tomorrow." "Just now, Mama Liu came to talk to Mother Jia, and mentioned that yesterday the eldest lady sent a girl to serve her aunt and was bumped into by Mrs. Gu. She also said: "Old lady, the slave and maid should not tell you about this matter. It's just that the eldest lady has done too much in this matter, and she thinks what she wants, no wonder Mrs. Gu will leave early this morning. ”

Where could Jia Mu bear it, she threw the teacup directly, and immediately took the eldest lady over for questioning. Fortunately, Baoyu and Mandarin Duck persuaded them, so they slept all night, and the next morning, when they saw the eldest lady coming, they endured it and endured it, but they still couldn't help sneering: "What a virtuous wife." ”

Mrs. Xing hurriedly stood up. Laughing and saying, "Old lady......"

"Shut up." Mother Jia drank, "I have time to persuade some bosses more, let him take good care of his body, and don't fool around with his little wife." As for the side affairs, you don't have to interfere. ”

Only then did Mrs. Xing understand what Mother Jia was referring to, and her face turned red all of a sudden, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "Yes, it was the master who ordered his daughter-in-law." ”

Jia's mother has always been very dissatisfied with Jia Yu and heard this. directly called Jia Yu and scolded him. Jia Yu said eloquently: "Old lady, you don't care for your sister much, look at what you spoil her into." My brother-in-law is now a first-class member, and there is only one sister by his side, which makes people laugh. It is better for others to send someone over, so it is better for us to send it. At least what we send knows the roots, no more reassuring than what others give? ”

"Joke!" Jia's mother "spitted" Jia Yu on her head, "My uncle has been an official for so many years. Your sister is the only one around, and I haven't seen anyone dare to laugh at him. Now, as a first-class master, who dares to say that he is wrong. ”

"You drink and play with your little wife every day. What else can be done? Now my old wife knows the Tao, the saint doesn't like the wandering people, but you know the Tao! ”

Jia Yu thought he was considerate, and was scolded by his mother. Gone indignantly. When he got out of the hospital, he was still slandering in his heart, and waited until Lin Hai accepted his little wife. You should know that you are in a hurry.

Lin Ruhai was too drunk yesterday, and when he got up early today, he had a splitting headache and nausea, and he felt uncomfortable anywhere. was thrown into the car by Jia Min and taken home, and when he got out of the car, he felt that his legs were weak, and he was sweating profusely. It was easy to return to the main courtyard, and he collapsed directly on the soft couch.

Jia Min asked someone to boil the sobering soup, pinched Lin Ruhai's nose and poured it into him. Two quarters of an hour later, let him drink two bowls of millet porridge, and Lin Ruhai felt that he was alive.

He waved his hand to let the people waiting in the house go down, and whispered to Jia Min Xiao Jin's words. Jia Min's brows tightened suddenly, "What does this mean, saint?" She originally thought that when she entered the palace in two days, she would discuss it with the queen, and in another year or two, she would find a family and give Yuan Chun a marriage.

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly: "Don't look at the emperor's scenery, that position was not easy to do at that time." The saint was a merciful man who easily refused to condemn his subordinates. But there are some people who have to make inches, relying on the idea of the saint to be merciful, and die one by one. ”

"Do you know that Jia Yu Village?"

Jia Min nodded, someone had recommended him when they were looking for a husband for their daughter that day. As people who have read the original work, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, how can they use him, so they deduced that Mr. has already been invited. Actually, it's a good please. Later, I heard that Jia Yucun was attached to the Zhen family again.

"Jia Yu Village is still restored." Lin Ruhai's eyes were deep, "It was Zhen Yingjia who sent a letter to the prince, and he still sought the prefect of Jinling, and he has already taken office." ”

"What!" Jia Min asked in surprise: "Didn't the Zhen family have a falling out with the Jia family and the Wang family because of your business?" ”

Lin Ruhai tugged at the corners of his lips, revealing a slightly mocking smile, "You still don't know what to do?" The old lady of the Zhen family sent someone to see her mother-in-law and scolded her son, and the two families were reconciled again. ”

Jia Min: "......" This is also forgiven too quickly.

"It's already an old relative, and the two families don't have much holy will now, so don't they have to hold together." Lin Ruhai curled the corners of his lips, "There used to be a lot of snobbery in the DPRK and China, they married each other, wooed officials, and easily controlled the appointment and dismissal of many official positions. Take the household department as an example, listening to the meaning of the sage, more than one million taels are unknown every year. ”

"The saint has been conscientious and conscientious for more than ten years, but he has only just put Jiangnan in his hands. It's a pity......" Lin Ruhai looked regretful, and lowered his voice a little more: "The person who went to replace me this time is only afraid that he will not be able to do it for two years in salt politics." ”

Jia Min has been going around the back house all these years, and he has long been blind to the affairs of the DPRK and China. Hearing Lin Ruhai's words, she reacted a little: "You won't say that the saint plans to use women to open some gaps, right?" Isn't that stupid?

Lin Ruhai sighed, "There are concubines in the harem, and there is real power in the previous dynasty, so you will get carried away proudly." ”

Jia Min: "......" She still couldn't understand what these men were thinking. (To be continued......)

PS: This chapter is a bit confusing, so let's post it first. Then let me think about it and see how I can change it.
