Chapter 1867: Rainy Day
The weather in May can be changed, and it is the time of the release of the government, when a downpour pours the blue brick streets of the capital and violently sprinkles pedestrians.
The official sedan chair on the street faced this sudden heavy rain, and the sedan chair driver could only move forward with difficulty against the rain, carrying the sedan chair towards the house in an orderly manner.
In this era, there is such a hierarchy, the sedan chair man can only endure the raindrops the size of soybeans and constantly slap his cheeks, while the adults inside sit peacefully in the sedan chair.
However, it is impossible to compare vertically, but the rampant people have a great sense of advantage, because their status is higher than that of the sedan drivers who serve in forced labor and those who are hired as cheap sedan chairmen, but they have a stable income and food masters.
"Three cows, four cows, you two brothers be careful, go slower!" Lin Fu followed closely under the heavy rain, and at the same time constantly commanded the two brothers who were walking in front.
Although the two brothers have strength, they seem to be a little rough in their work, and when they hear this, they slow down, and their thick arms firmly hold and carry the sedan pole on their shoulders.
This is not too far away, and the sedan chair soon turns into an alley, where there are already families watching, and the door of the house is soon open.
"Beware, watch out for the steps!" Lin Jinyuan greeted the door with an umbrella, but he seriously reminded the sedan chair man.
The sedan chair did not stop in the front yard, but was carried directly into the sedan hall. This sedan hall is very narrow, only accommodating two sedan chairs, but it is the best place to park in rain and snow.
When the sedan chair landed slowly and smoothly in the sedan hall, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Jinyuan stepped forward to help open the sedan curtain.
In the current era, the prosperity and disgrace of a family and a family are often tied to only one person.
Lin Haoran, who was wearing a first-class official uniform, walked out of the sedan chair expressionlessly, stunned that there was not half a drop of rain on his body, and the whole person added a bit of majesty.
It has been more than a year since he took office last year. Although he has received a lot of criticism because of his age and qualifications, now that these voices have long disappeared without a trace, no one dares to question his ability as a household secretary.
It is precisely because of his diligence and wisdom that he not only won the unanimous recognition of the officials below, but also Jiajing appreciated him, and it can be said that he firmly occupied the post of head of the household.
"The concubine welcomes the master back to his home!" Wu Qiuyu and Hua Yingrong took the first step to greet them in an orderly manner, and saluted Lin Haoran.
Lin Haoran nodded lightly, inquired about the situation at home as before, and after learning that everything was fine, he walked towards the inner house with his two beautiful wives.
Life is always uneventful, especially in this era when both transportation and entertainment are lagging behind. Lin usually has a small number of people with that temperament, and many women live in a corner peacefully, and spend a day in their own houses.
As it was a heavy rainy day, especially the rain lasted until the evening, no one came to disturb it.
After eating, Lin Haoran took a hot bath, and then walked into the room full of fragrance of Hua Yingrong.
Hua Yingrong, a mature and beautiful woman, was sitting at the table, staring at the ledger with eyes like autumn water, and a pair of slender jade fingers were quickly moving the abacus, unaware of the arrival of her husband.
Lin Haoran came in and looked at her focused work, but she couldn't help but think of the crazy work self in her previous life, although it was hard but also happy.
For such a woman, she can't be raised like a canary, and the life of a woman in this era is undoubtedly a torture for her, and to really love her is to support her in doing things.
Although Lin Haoran is not a dedicated man, he is also a good husband, and he maintains a considerate heart for Wu Qiuyu and Hua Yingrong.
When he went to the bookshelf and took down a book, he sat quietly on the chair next to Hua Yingrong and read the book comfortably, which was also a way for him to get along with Hua Yingrong.
The rain was still falling silently outside, and the candlesticks were melting bit by bit.
It's just that things have to come to an end, and Hua Yingrong, who has finished checking Suzhou United Money Village, stretched her waist, and when she saw her husband next to her, she couldn't help but show a warm smile on her face.
She liked this husband who was quietly with her, not only did not disturb her work, but also quietly accompanied her by her side, which made her feel a sense of satisfaction that she had never felt before.
Hua Yingrong touched the teapot Shang Wen, poured a cup of tea and gave it to Lin Haoran and said, "Husband, when did you come?" ”
"Just arrived!" Lin Haoran watched Lin Haoran finish his work, and put down the book in his hand.
Hua Yingrong glanced at the book, but she was full of wisdom and said: "Liar, this "Legend of the Condor Heroes" last time you saw the fiftieth time, where do you see it now?" ”
"It's not good that you're so smart!" Lin Haoran picked up the teacup, but he deliberately joked.
Hua Yingrong naturally knew that Lin Haoran didn't really blame her, so she responded with a smile: "No matter how smart the concubine is, she can't compare to your three-step calculation, you are the smartest person in the Ming Dynasty!" ”
After so many years of getting along, she naturally knows what kind of man she married, although she is a little smart, but she is far inferior to this excellent man in all aspects, and the most complex and changeable court in this era can still be like a fish in water.
"The smartest man in the Ming Dynasty? Just listen to this, although there is a gap between this person and others, but after all, it will not be too bad, I never dare to peep at Xu Jie! Lin Haoran took a sip of tea, but shook his head bitterly.
Hua Yingrong was full of confidence in her father-in-law, and said with some regret: "It's also fortunate that the emperor's illness has worsened, otherwise with Xu Jie's inaction over the years, I'm afraid he will not be able to sit in the position of the first assistant!" ”
"You still take Xu Jie's person lightly! Xu Jie's four years have completed the party's fight against differences, and now most of the officials in the government and the opposition support him, as long as he does not fall out of favor with the emperor, this ruling inaction can only be a target, but whether it can achieve a decisive effect is still an unknown number! Lin Haoran put down the teacup gently and said helplessly.
Hua Yingrong's brows furrowed slightly, but she asked suspiciously, "Is Xu Jie really so difficult to deal with?" ”
"No one who can sit in the position of the first assistant in Jiajing Dynasty will be a fuel-efficient lamp, and Xu Jie is actually more difficult than Yan Song. Although Yan Song received greater favor from the emperor, he was dissatisfied by all forces because of his family's monopoly, and even offended a large number of gentry by levying silver and rectifying the salt government in the southeast to resist the Japanese, which can be said to have lost the 'mass base'. On the other hand, Xu Jie, who has been attracting forces from all sides in the past four years, has also won the favor of the emperor, and now it is really difficult to bring him down, and even only by finding a way to launch Diao Minshu can he have a few chances of winning! Lin Haoran looked up at Hua Yingrong's eyes and said seriously.
Hua Yingrong met Lin Haoran's gaze, but said with a slight smile: "It's a pity that he was born at the wrong time, and he met a character like Xianggong, and the husband is waiting for a suitable time these days, right?" ”
"No, the husband has already accepted his fate!" Lin Haoran immediately denied it, and then changed his words and said: "United Money Bank has become the first batch of money banks granted credit by the imperial court, how do you plan to develop next?" ”
