Chapter 689: The Thoughts of All Beings
Daiyu has been happy since she was a child, her father Lin Ruhai only has Jia Min a wife, no concubine, and her brother is a motivated person, seeing that he is a Beijing official from the third grade, and now he is traveling to the capital with his brother, thinking that his sister will be the same as his mother in Yangzhou, she is the hostess of the backyard, and she can let her show her wisdom and talents, so her heart is very high,
Therefore, in Daiyu's heart, she was unwilling to be inferior, and when she came to Jiafu this time, she was already ready for a war of words.
It's just that some words are really not what a girl should say, and there is a battle-hardened Mama Rong beside her, as if her subordinates have already knocked the enemy to the ground without her hands.
This kind of lonely mentality that you don't need to make a move, and you are invincible in the world is really cool.
Baoyu looked left and right, feeling aggrieved in her heart, and she didn't know what she had done.
He was thinking about whether to drop the jade, but in order to cover up her son's trouble, Mrs. Wang quickly changed the topic and said, "I don't know where Brother Zhao and Master are now? The brothers may be able to communicate with each other, and maybe something will help."
Mother Jia was in good spirits and said busily: "It's very, very." But when he saw Baoyu's face change greatly and his whole body trembled, he knew that he was afraid that Lao Tzu Jia Zheng was extremely afraid, and his heart softened, so he changed his words and shouted: "Mandarin duck, you send someone to invite the master, just say that I want to see Brother Zhao, and let them send someone over quickly." β
Not long after the little maid passed the word, she saw Jia pardon, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian leading Lin Zhao over: "Old lady, Brother Zhao is here, saying that he wants to see Baoyu." β
Xichun is still young, Ying, Tan sisters are blushing, busy with fans half covering their faces, only the corners of their eyes can't help but quietly peek to the side.
Lin Zhao bowed and saluted: "Old lady, I was talking with my uncles about mundane affairs, thinking that Baoyu was here, I wanted to invite him over, but I didn't expect to be summoned by the old lady, so I hurried over." β
The room is full of pearls, but he does not squint, and his bearing is impressive.
"Good, good. Mother Jia saw Lin Zhaolong's phoenix posture and good manners, which was much stronger than her phoenix Baoyu, but a trace of joy rose in her heart, and she sighed again and again.
It's no wonder that Lin Zhao is twenty years old this year, and he is as rich as jade, and he is like a good son of the turbidity world, which makes people feel good at first sight.
And Baoyu is only twelve years old, no more than a twenty-year-old cousin, which is normal.
Lin Zhao met with everyone again, and finally looked at Baoyu: "This is the second cousin, right?
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly fell silent.
That's what Baoyu asked Daiyu just now.
Unexpectedly, in just a while, the situation reversed, and it was someone else's turn to ask him.
When Na Baoyu saw that Yushu, the eldest cousin of the Lin family, was in the wind, looking better than Pan An, and had never seen a person with such character, he couldn't help but feel a loss in his heart, but when he thought that he had become a Jinyi guard of Lao Shizi, it could be seen that he was a fool, and he felt a pity in his heart.
However, Baoyu is not a fool after all, and it is impossible to say this to Lin Zhao in front of him, but he just said: "I've seen my cousin, I don't have a word......"
But he didn't mention his own reading.
"It turns out that my cousin has no words, so why don't you give yourself a wonderful word?"
Lin Zhao smiled gently.
"Haha, Baoyu don't be afraid, your cousin is joking with you. β
When Mother Jia saw Baoyu like this, she felt sorry in her heart, and hurriedly pulled him to her side and hugged him in her arms to love him carefully.
Mrs. Wang's eyes when she looked at Lin Zhao were already full of anger.
But there was nothing to be done.
Because it was her baby son who treated Miss Lin so rudely just now, and now that her brother is coming to fight back, Mrs. Wang knows that she can't say more at this time, the more she talks, the more she is afraid that the sister-in-law next to her will laugh even more.
Jia Mu changed the topic with a smile and asked Lin Zhao: "I heard that you have already faced the saint, I don't know if you, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, know it, but there are arrangements." β
Lin Zhao said with a smile: "I am a newcomer, and I have just entered the capital, so I naturally have to start from the hardest, Your Majesty has assigned me to train recruits and patrol the streets. β
"Since it was arranged by His Majesty, then you must do it well, and don't live up to Your Majesty's intention of cultivation. Jia Zheng stroked his beard and smiled.
Although he prides himself on being an upright scholar, he looks down on rough martial arts.
But he also knew that in order to help his brother-in-law deal with the salt merchants in Yangzhou, his nephew made a canonical history and personally charged into battle - the canonical history was a serious official of the imperial court, and serving as it meant that he could not participate in the imperial examination and be a pure scholar.
Therefore, the nephew's abandonment of civil and military affairs is a helpless move, and it is also a creation to make people.
Lin Zhao smiled and said yes.
Mother Jia was very happy when she heard her uncle and nephew's answer, so she said to Jia Zheng: "Since Brother Zhao has become the official of Jinyiwei, you might as well send a post to Cui Dutang and ask him to take care of it." β
"After Cui Qiushan received the post, he didn't start to fix you, he was afraid of writing his surname upside down. Lin Zhao sneered in his heart.
This Cui Qiushan is very visionary and knows where his status lies, so he puts his attitude very low, just to finish this job in peace.
Therefore, he categorically will not have anything to do with the Four Kings and Eight Princes and others on the surface.
What's more, Jia Zheng is only a member of the Ministry of Labor of the fifth rank after all, and he is not from the imperial examination, what qualifications does he have to speak in front of the commander of the Jinyi Guard of the third grade?
If this Jia Zheng is not interested, Cui Qiushan's attitude can be imagined.
So Lin Zhao smiled and said: "Uncle doesn't have to work hard, when I was in Yangzhou, I fought wits and courage with those salt merchants, and I also had the lives of hundreds of heroes in my hands, and I also gathered a lot of manpower, and I have the emperor's trust, it should be easy to open up the situation, so I don't need to worry about it." β
Jia Zheng was overjoyed and said: "You have such ambition, that's the best thing to do." β
Jia Mu didn't pay much attention to the government, although she knew the name of Jinyiwei, but she didn't know what level of position it was to train recruits and patrol the streets, but since Jia Zheng praised him so much, it was naturally wrong.
In fact, there are not many people in Jiafu who really understand.
Only Jia Tanchun heard his understatement when he said "There are also hundreds of heroes in the rivers and lakes in his hands", and he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and his eyes were a little different when he looked at Lin Zhao.
She was accustomed to seeing the incompetence of the men in the family, although she was careful to please Mrs. Wang and Baoyu, and never said anything to persuade Baoyu to study, but she knew in her heart that Baoyu would not be able to keep the family business if she continued like this.
Now that I have seen such a cousin in the wind of Yushu, I thought he was a weak scholar, but I didn't expect it to be an iron-blooded man, I really can't believe that such a handsome boy can kill hundreds of people.
However, Jia Tanchun is also self-respecting, but when he thought so, he immediately put it away, and his face did not even change.
Baoyu saw that everyone was only talking about some economic practices, and he was really bored in his heart, and when he saw that no one had noticed him, he quietly moved to Daiyu's side and asked, "Sister, do you have jade too?"
Daiyu was startled, and she was puzzled, and replied: "If you have jade ornaments, I have a lot, I don't know what kind of jade my second cousin is asking?"
"It's not a jade ornament ......", Baoyu saw that Daiyu didn't understand what he meant, so he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and didn't know how to express it, but Lin Zhao had already noticed it and asked: "Second cousin, it is usually said that you were born with jade, so I asked my sister if she had jade, this is that you don't know the world, my Lin family ancestor is also a few generations of princes, my father sorted out salt affairs in Yangzhou, and paid tens of millions of salt taxes to the country, and I personally killed no less than 100 illegal salt dealers, but I was so depressed that my sister couldn't even bring a piece of jade." β
As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent again.
Mrs. Wang suddenly became unhappy again.
Mother Jia was also a little unhappy on her face, because Lin Zhao, the cousin, was too protective of his sister, and he squeezed his phoenix treasure jade so much.
It's really not true.
Shouldn't brothers be brothers?
Doesn't this Brother Zhao know that Baoyu was born with the title of jade, and there will be great achievements in the future, maybe he, the military attachΓ©, will have to borrow Baoyu's momentum in the future.
