Chapter 64: Taking office
Mu Lin looked at Lin Ruhai's lips one by one in a daze, and suddenly he had a feeling, was it really right for him to tell Lin Ruhai about elopement?
"Now, since you have decided to abandon your wife and children and choose to live incognito with Wang Xiaoxiao for the rest of your life, then you can't use your sister-in-law's money." Lin Ruhai looked at him fixedly, Mu Lin opened his mouth, and just wanted to say that he didn't abandon his wife and children, he used the wrong words, but after thinking about it again, uh...... He's right, it's just not tactful enough.
"Well, I'm really sorry for Ru Niang." Under the substantive gaze of Yang Ze and Lin Ruhai, Mu Lin admitted his mistake with a guilty face. It's just that this can't dispel his determination to leave Wang Xiaoxiao at all.
Lin Ruhai picked up the teacup in time, and covered his eye-rolling action by drinking tea, "It is already a big unfilial piety to abandon your parents and family, and your aunt only has one parent, and it is the money in the aunt and the family, are you embarrassed to take it?" ”
You said so, what else can I say, Mu Lin nodded in agreement again. Then he began to be depressed, everything he got was provided by his family, and it was not earned by himself. No, he was admitted to the Guozi Prison, and he is still the kind of prisoner who can give two taels of silver every month. Counting the days, it has been four months, that is to say, he has not eaten or drunk for these four months, and he has a deposit of eight taels of silver.
Then again, what can you do with eight taels of silver? Even a table in Huizhen Building has more than eight taels. Mu Lin counted his assets and suddenly found that he was very poor. He looked at Lin Ruhai suspiciously, he wouldn't be here to persuade himself. Lin Ruhai's next words dispelled Mu Lin's doubts. moved with tears in his eyes, holding Lin Ruhai and Yang Ze's hands. I had to bow down to both of them.
"Since Yuan Hui can't touch the money in the house, he and I Runzhi each took out three hundred taels. and for the sake of travel. Lin Ruhai was so sincere, Yang Ze's stomach on the side was about to burst with laughter, but he nodded heavily on his face, "Yuan Hui has made up his mind, and it is useless for me to say more." However, after years of intercourse, I can't bear to see you down. ”
"Ruhai, Runzhi ......" Mu Lin was so moved that he couldn't speak, and then Lin Ruhai took another sip of the teacup.
Mu Lin took a deep breath, "Although Lin has a half-brother, his affection is far less than that of Ruhai and Runzhi. Dare to be a brother. ”
Nima, who wants to play with you! This is the common idea of Lin Ruhai and Yang Ze. Lin Ruhai coughed lightly, "Let's put this aside, let's talk about your business first." ”
"Have you figured out how you want to support your family?" Lin Ruhai didn't give Mu Lin time to react, and directly smashed down the thunder, "If you want to avoid your family, you must be incognito, and your fame will not work." And after you leave, Runzhi and I will inevitably be questioned by your family. You'd better not let us know where you're going. But when the money runs out, how will you and the little girl's life continue? As a man, you have to support your wife and children, and you have no fame. What do you do for a living? ”
Mu Lin was stunned again, Nima, he hadn't thought about this problem! Didn't think about it at all. Now is the time. He also didn't think about a second way to survive besides being an official. "Uh...... Like the sea and Runzhi, what kind of livelihood do you think I should manage? "He couldn't think of it at all." Why don't I go to the museum? "At his current level. It should be no problem to be a teacher.
"The bigger places shouldn't work, and the smaller ones are afraid that you won't be able to endure hardship." Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment, "That's it, I'll find a museum, you go and get used to it first, it can be regarded as having an experience, even if you do it in the future, it's not unfamiliar." ”
Mu Lin was moved again, this is a good brother. "So, please."
Yang Ze looked at it and wanted to shake his head, this is the way he wants to thank the person who dug the pit after jumping into the pit.
Lin Ruhai and Yang Ze came out of Mu Mansion, and Yang Ze raised his thumbs to Lin Ruhai, "Ruhai, brother bows." ”
Lin Ruhai said: "For the sake of Yuan Hui, I have to make this decision, I am ashamed and ashamed." ”
Yang Ze squinted at him, you don't have a little ashamed expression on your face, okay?
Lin Ruhai is happy, I have written it in my eyes, I don't believe it!
Yang Ze......
When Lin Ruhai went to tease Mu Lin, Jia Min had just been entrusted with a heavy task by her mother-in-law. After breakfast, she repaired the book to Mrs. Mu, and after getting the reply, she sent someone to pass it on to her husband, and Mrs. Lin called Lily to invite her to the main courtyard to speak.
Jia Min changed her clothes here, carefully looked at her makeup, and saw that there was no problem, so she took the girl's hand, and walked to the main courtyard surrounded by a group of people.
"Ma'am." entered the main courtyard, saluted and greeted, and was then beckoned by Mrs. Lin to sit down beside him with a smile.
Lin Yun had already come, and when he saw Jia Min, he smiled, "Sister-in-law, my brother is out again." ”
"Well, I went to see Uncle Mu, and Gu said that he was sick."
Obviously I was beaten, I know it, Lin Yun spit silently. "How's it going, it's better now?"
"I think it's about the same, right? The uncle said that looking at his recent letter, the pen power has seen a stable key, not like the previous vanity, and I think the body should be almost better. ”
Mrs. Lin smiled: "That's good." "The relationship between my son and Mu Lin is repaired very well, shouldn't I have made a fuss like that for a dusty woman, it's very unscientific.
"Daughter-in-law, it's been three months since you passed the door." Mrs. Lin looked at Jia Min lovingly.
Jia Min got up and smiled: "Well, it's been more than three months. ”
"Things at home should be almost familiar, my health is not good, family affairs can only be reluctantly managed by your sister, she is young and tender, and she is a girl's family, it is inevitable that some people rely on their qualifications to be old and disobey discipline." Mrs. Lin sighed.
Lin Yun's face was ashamed: "I am young and shallow, and I can't suppress people, so much so that my sister-in-law has suffered a lot of grievances, and I am ashamed to think about it." ”
Jia Min smiled lightly and said sincerely: "My sister is already very capable, when I was my sister's age, I only knew how to eat and play stupidly, and I couldn't help at all, and if I didn't make trouble for my mother, it would be a haode." "Hehe, she came early and left late in the second phase of secondary school, which did cause a lot of trouble to her mother, which is absolutely right.
"Where can I compare with my sister-in-law." Lin Yun is also a little complacent about herself, compared to Miss Qianjin, who is about the same age as her, she is not the most haode. It will definitely be in the top three.
Mrs. Lin put her arms around her daughter and touched her hair. "Don't praise her, if you praise her, you won't be able to find the north." All three laughed. After laughing, Mrs. Lin said: "Although you are the new daughter-in-law, it is not good to be idle anymore. If there is anyone who does not know or cannot make up your mind, ask your sister or send someone to ask me. ”
"Here...... The daughter-in-law just entered the door, and the Songfeng Courtyard still hasn't figured it out, how can she manage the house. Jia Min excused himself. Why don't you let your daughter-in-law study with your wife and sister for a few months. ”
"I think you're just trying to get out of the way." Mrs. Lin feigned anger and said, "It's decided, you will take office tomorrow, and I will personally tell the housekeeper and the housekeeper's daughter-in-law." "It's time to let the daughter-in-law be the director, and you can't always let the daughter take care of it. After a long time, some people will gossip, and it will not be good for her daughter's reputation.
"The daughter-in-law tried hard, if there is something that can't be done. Too much pointing. Jia Min didn't refuse.
Lin Yun said: "Waiting for Ming'er to do something, my sister-in-law will come over with me in a while, one to let the servants at home know, and the other to know." Hand over the cards, account books, and so on. After speaking, he put his palms together in front of his chest and said with a smile: "That's it." I'm so much more relaxed. ”
Mrs. Lin patted her, "How can you be so useful." Your sister-in-law is only in charge of the house, so there must be something unfamiliar. You'll have to help. ”
"Mrs. ......" Lin Yun pulled Mrs. Lin's sleeve and coquettishly coquettish.
Jia Min smiled and watched the mother and daughter sing together, not only gaining a good reputation, but also not letting go of real power. However, we are not the kind of rotten good people who just take on the fame but give the benefits to others, let's see.
Coming out of the main courtyard, Lin Yun had to take Jia Min to the conference hall, which was a flower hall on the left side of the main courtyard, which was spacious enough to accommodate many people, and close to the main courtyard, so that it was convenient to ask Mrs. Lin if there was something that could not be adjudicated. In other words, it is convenient for Mrs. Lin to control family affairs.
The housekeeper and daughter-in-law in the Hou Mansion have already arrived, and they have long heard from the lady that they want to let the eldest grandmother and the girl come to the council together. Before, Songfeng Yuan drove out the three girls in one go, and they all knew about it, not to mention that the uncle even gave the big housekeeper a shame in order to make the eldest grandmother angry. For a while, these people have quite complicated feelings about the grandmother, many of them are related to the three girls who were kicked out, and some are old people, all of whom want to take over while the grandmother has just taken over, and when the foothold is not stable, they will first subdue her, and the most unfortunate thing is to let her be like today's wives and girls.
Jia Min and Lin Yun entered the flower hall and sat down, and they had their own girls to get tea, Lin Yun explained first, and the future director of the family will be the grandmother, and he is just an assistant, if there is something to ask the grandmother, take care of personal affairs, and must not steal and play tricks, and let everyone come forward to see Jia Min.
These mothers and daughters-in-law in charge came in in a team, kowtowed first, and then briefly introduced themselves, and then withdrew. In this way, after an hour, it was all over.
Lin Yunzhi is also dedicated, and has been adding by the side. After everyone worshipped, Jia Min smiled and said: "I know everything, and I will still act according to the rules of the house in the future, I think you all know it, and I don't need to say more." It's just that since my wife has sent me, I naturally want to behave. The ugly words were said earlier, and they all said that the new official took office with three fires, and I didn't burn the others, even if you made a mistake, the punishment should be severe. At this point, he paused, swept his eyes downward, and continued: "Everyone is doing old errands, and I don't think I will make any mistakes, and I am just talking in vain." Okay, I've been standing for a long time, I'm tired, I'm all gone. ”
Not to mention the faces of those housekeepers and daughters-in-law who dispersed, even Lin Yun was stunned. Is there such a thing, shouldn't the leader just become a soft policy and win the hearts of the people? It's such a threat to people as soon as he comes up, what a big husband?
Jia Min has Jia Min's idea, and the relationship between leaders and subordinates in modern society is not the same as that of masters and servants in ancient times. In modern society, the leader is too perverted, and the subordinates can leave their posts, and if they are still angry after leaving the job, they can find someone to beat them in a sack. But in ancient times, the life and death of this kind of domestic slave were all in the hands of the master's family. Even if you can't take people's lives at will, you can still sell them as a family. And after being sold, their lives are not as good as when they were in the Hou Mansion, and they may even be very miserable. Therefore, no matter how strict your management is, it is unlikely that employees will copy your squid.
Of course, it can't be too harsh, that's something that only bastards can do. She was clear from the start. It's because I just took over and wants to stand up. Especially if there is another manager in the presence of another manager. Plus, the subordinates in the Hou Mansion. None of them are older than her. Some are the original servants in the Hou Mansion, and some are the dowries of the old lady and the current Mrs. Hou, they marry each other, shili are intertwined, once there is something, they will cry out in groups, and even coerce the master, which is very difficult to manage.
There's another one, people. There is a kind of bad root nature, you give a lot of grace at the beginning, and you are loose, once you make a mistake, you will be dissatisfied with a little punishment. If you are strict at the beginning, and occasionally show kindness, you will say good things.
Based on the above, Jia Min thinks. A more serious attitude is more beneficial than generosity. In particular, after surviving the previous difficult period, the work will be easier to carry out later. Of course, one of the reasons she dared to do so. That is, the Lin family does not have a second heir other than Lin Ruhai. Even if these subordinates are dissatisfied now, and find Mrs. Lin to make trouble for her, sooner or later the Lin Mansion will also be in charge of her. Some of them are when the accounts are settled. So, she is not afraid. Fearless, he naturally refuses to let himself be angry.
Lin Yun didn't understand her approach at all. All kinds of entanglements, I want to correct her thoughts, and I think that Jia Min will show her goodness even more if she does this. If she sells haode words, she will marry sooner or later, and after a long time, she will be marginalized at home, and no one will definitely pay attention to her. The two bosses are as good as they are, and of course they should stick to the one who stays for a long time, rather than doing useless work on the person who will definitely leave. She was so entangled, until she finished settling the pair of cards and account books with Jia Min, and the words of exhortation were also spoken, until she returned to Zhilan Pavilion and sat for a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, let's do this first. Individuals have different styles of behavior, and there is no need to force others to listen to themselves.
In the main courtyard, Mrs. Lin listened to Jia Min's words, and was silent for a long time, and after a long time, she sighed, this daughter-in-law is not easy to control. The idea is too big, the personality is too strong, and most importantly, she is 100% the next housewife of the Lin family. She knows it herself, so she acts without scruples.
"Mrs. ......" Lily saw Mrs. Lin staring at the candlelight blankly, and called out worriedly, "Grandma, she ......"
Mrs. Lin waved her hand, "She's fine, let her do it." "Although the son is still the son of the Hou Mansion, but after a hundred years of the Hou Lord, the Lin family will no longer have a title, and it is good to have a stricter housemother in the family, which can save people from causing trouble and implicating the son. It's just that it's not enough to be strict, you have to have the means to suppress these subordinates, so let her see what the girls taught by the Guogong Mansion are doing.
When Jia Min returned to Songfeng Courtyard, it happened that Lin Ruhai also returned. He had just changed his clothes, and when he saw his wife, he said excitedly: "Mu Lin has taken the bait." ”
Jia Min Black Line: What kind of adjective is this, it feels like a liar is about to get his hands on it.
Lin Ruhai finished being excited, only to see his wife followed by a team of maids, holding various account books in their hands, he was surprised: "Are you going to be a housekeeper?" ”
Jia Min couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Yes, yes, I'm going to be a housekeeper." ”
"Hehe, my lady must be the most beautiful, elegant, and wise housekeeper." Lin Ruhai rubbed to his daughter-in-law's side, laughing and flatteringly, serving tea and pouring water, and beating his back and pinching his shoulders.
Jia Min was so helpless by him that she grabbed her husband, "Say, what do you want from me?" ”
"Hey...... Hehe......" Lin Ruhai sat down next to Jia Min, held her hand and said: "Madam, that Mu Lin wants to find a place to sit, you see ......" It is not easy to find a place with poor mountains and bad waters. This is the capital of the gods, the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, and even the surrounding countryside is better than ordinary places. In those villages, there are also private schools, and most of the gentlemen in them are talented. went to that kind of place, he was unfamiliar with the place, and it was inconvenient to control Mu Lin's whereabouts, in case he took the opportunity to run away? He had no place to cry.
Jia Min thought for a while and mentioned two items: "When my son sent someone home, I heard from my mother that my father planned to reorganize the family education, and the younger children would invite a gentleman back." Why don't I tell my father and let Mu Lin go to Rongfu's family school to adapt first? ”
"Why?" Mu Lin went to Rongguofu to be a teacher in the family school, so there must be an external statement. The original reason cannot be humane for outsiders at all.
Jia Min said: "What kind of reason do you want, just say that you have a gambling agreement between your classmates, and he is willing to gamble and lose." "Whatever the reason can be found faulty, it's better not to say it.
"Poof......" Lin Ruhai couldn't help but help the case daxiao, no matter what Mu Lin did in the future, he could use this excuse. It's just that his luck is too bad, how can he always lose.
"It's not enough to be at home alone, I'll choose a place, it's the Zhuangzi I marryed. I hired someone to take care of it, and they all had children at home, so I was saying that I would start a private school and hire someone to teach. ”
"Okay." Lin Ruhai slapped the board.
Jia Min wrote a letter to Jia Daishan here, directly saying that when your son-in-law was partying with his classmates in his spare time, he was betting and playing. As a result, there was an unlucky guy who lost, and he had to be a private school teacher for a period of time according to the gambling agreement, and I thought it would be better to go to my own home to learn. Anyway, in our family, don't we want to divert students, so let's just let him teach for a while. After I finished writing, I sent someone to send it back.
Jia Daishan is still strange when he receives his daughter's letter, what kind of bet are they making, and the loser wants to be a teacher. However, there are occasional jokes between young classmates, and it is not good to cheat when you lose, and it is normal to fulfill the gambling contract head-on, and it will be just a joke in the future.
He replied to his daughter and son-in-law, yes! And to be able to get them to teach and learn is really condescending. Since I promised my daughter and son-in-law, the family also had to make preparations, subdividing the students according to age and academics, and asking my husband to prepare. It's impossible for the son-in-law's classmates to teach for too long, and since they're separated, it's better to keep going.
Recently, because of Jia Daishan's attention, the atmosphere in the Jia family's study has been suppressed, and those who come to study to mess around, eat and gamble for money, have all taken care of it, whether they are sincere in learning or not, they have made a picture of hard work. If you dare to make trouble, you will really be beaten, or in front of everyone, take off your pants and spank your ass, and you have to go to school after the beating. It's violent, but for these people, violence is probably one of the most effective methods.
Five days after Jia Min took office, Mr. Mu Lin also sat in the Jia family's ethnography. A group of little radish heads, all of whom are children of the clan. Relying on the two mansions of Ningrong, Jia Daishan was more generous to the clansmen, which made the adults in these little radish heads quite arrogant. The attitude of the fathers directly affects the growth of the children, and it is not too small for this group of little radish heads to look small, all of them are very difficult.
Before Mu Lin took office, Lin Ruhai deliberately went to Jia's house and told his father-in-law that he couldn't mention Mu Lin's identity to these babies. Jia Daishan only thought that they were young and noisy, and he also twisted his beard and smiled. Son-in-law, these students are just playing tricks to teach students, and they don't do anything bad.
Then Lin Ruhai specially prepared a suit for Mu Lin, a blue cloth coat, a blue cloth scarf, and a pair of black cloth shoes. For the sake of realism, even the underwear was changed to a cotton one. It was about that the cotton cloth was relatively rough, and Mu Lin felt very uncomfortable, and his body was itchy everywhere. In front of outsiders, he was embarrassed to always stretch out his hand to scratch it, and asked embarrassedly: "Ruhai, do you have to wear this?" ”
"Hmm." Lin Ruhai nodded and said seriously: "If you want to be incognito, you are not the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, just an ordinary person." However, the people have rules on dressing, they cannot wear silk and satin, and the color of clothing is mainly blue and white. I've tried my best to find the best haode fabric to make clothes, but Yuan Hui is not used to it? ”
Mu Lin gritted his teeth and walked over. "It's okay, it'll be fine later." At that time, my heart was full of tears, and for the first time, I felt that it was very difficult to be a common person.
Yang Ze stood behind Lin Ruhai, covering his mouth and snickering, if he didn't laugh, he couldn't help it.
Then, Mu Lin entered the Jia family study. These little radish heads in class have the demeanor of their elders, and they are very bullying the good and fearing the evil. If they say, they now have a sense of class, and they know who they can't bully and what they can bully. As soon as he saw what Mu Lin was wearing, he put him within the scope of being bullied.
As a result, Mu Lin's teaching career was forced into various hardships. He thought it was very good at first, but when he was just enlightened, he didn't know how many handboards he was beaten by Mr., but this time he could also beat it back on someone else's child, Mo Ming felt so cool!
Three days later, he knew that it was far from the case! I was so well-behaved at the beginning! These are all bear children in front of them!! (To be continued......)
