Chapter 760: The Lin Family's First Banquet (Part II)
But there are few royal relatives in the front yard.
After all, the lord of Langhuan County posted a post, and the ladies of the royal family wanted to be fresh, so they just came over and had fun.
The Jinyi guards all commanded the envoys to invite guests to dinner, and the princes would not join in the excitement.
Not only the royal family, but also few civil ministers and military generals came.
Everyone sent someone to follow the salute and congratulate the future pavilion elder Lin Ruhai on his birthday, and that's it.
And those who came to visit, in addition to the relatives of the Jia family, were Lin Zhao's subordinates and friends who met in the capital.
Needless to say, subordinates.
Among the friends are Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, Wei Ruolan, and Xue Pan.
It stands to reason that Xue Pan is a relative, but he feels that he is closer to Lin Zhao, but he classifies himself as a friend.
It's because of friends that there is a "good family".
In addition, there are General Zhaowu, Yang Lin, the son of the new Marquis Yang Feng of Nanchang, Chen Ying, the son of the Marquis of Taining, and Guo Zhen, the garrison of Xuancheng.
In the end, these few all participated in the battle of Tiewang Mountain that day, and experienced the test of life and death, one by one, at least from the military rank of the fifth grade, everyone in the Jia family saw that they were full of anger, and their already small courage was a little smaller, even the unruly Jia Yu and Jia Zhen did not dare to be presumptuous.
Jia Baoyu had the heart to enter the inner courtyard, but was watched by Jia Zheng and the Lin family, and he didn't dare to move. Therefore, the outside world is unusually calm.
In fact, there are a few scholars like Zhang Wannian, and they can have a few words of chat with the pretentious Jia Zheng, but seeing that Jia Zheng is not very excited, it seems that he has something on his mind.
When Lin Zhao toasted, he said a few more words to this uncle, and this Jia Zheng sighed: "After the New Year, I'm afraid that I will also be released." ”
Of course you have to go out.
Otherwise, how can everyone see your incompetence clearly?
When the wall falls, it's okay for everyone to push hard.
Thinking so in his heart, Lin Zhao said: "Your Majesty is the hero, and the official position has been held for a long time, so it is natural to transfer it well, and the time for my uncle to serve as a member of the Ministry of Labor is not short, so it is natural to let it go, which is also a wise move by His Majesty." ”
When Jia Zheng heard this, he felt more comfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but nod and said with a smile: "That's what I said, thanks to Your Majesty's blessings!"
After sending everyone off in the evening, Lin Zhao took Daiyu to personally thank Mother Jia and Sister Feng for their help.
Jia Mu shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that Princess Yi seems to have some thoughts about Yu'er's family affairs today, Brother Zhao, what can you do." ”
Lin Zhao smiled slightly: "This must be what Princess Yi said, as long as I am still the commander of the Jinyi Guard, no matter what the king does not dare to have an in-law relationship with me, he has this idea, His Majesty will let him not have this idea, after all, a steel knife, the handle of the knife is better in his own hands." ”
As soon as these words came out, the others were still confused, but Jia Mu nodded thoughtfully, and at the same time felt very uncomfortable, these were originally her Baoyu's, but now I don't know which outsider is cheaper after all. Glaring at Mrs. Wang, who was standing like a wood carved clay sculpture, Jia Mu said: "Since this is the case, it seems that it will have to wait until your father returns to Beijing." You won't hold this official position anymore?"
Lin Zhao nodded slightly, although he didn't say much, he also admired the old lady's insight.
Once Lin Ruhai returns to Beijing, with his talent and merits, if there is no big mistake, he will definitely pay homage to the prime minister.
But since the father has become the elder of the pavilion, there is no reason to let his son serve as the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
Whether it is from the perspective of political stability or the balance of the emperor, Lin Zhao is bound to leave Jinyiwei.
At that time, the courtiers who saw the situation clearly could weigh their own weight and whether they could ask Lin Ruhai for marriage.
But no matter what, Baoyu has no chance.
Thinking of this, Jia Mu sighed secretly and didn't say much. The matter has come to this point, it is better to completely open your hands and leave a good impression on the Lin family, and it will also be beneficial to Baoyu in the future.
Lin Zhao said again: "I shouldn't have said this, it's just that my sister is young and weak, and she is tired these days, and she hasn't eaten raw." Therefore, I would like to ask the old lady to agree and let the second grandmother help here for two more days. ”
Jia Mu nodded and said, "This is as it should be." Feng girl, you have to help your younger brothers and sisters, don't be lazy, otherwise I know, I will not follow. ”
Sister Feng responded crisply: "The ancestor just rest assured that it will be handed over to me, I will definitely saddle the horse before and after, and Sister Weilin will look forward to the horse." ”
When everyone heard this, they all laughed: "It's amazing, Feng Yatou also chewed the words." ”
Sister Feng said with a smile: "Our clever girl worshipped Sister Lin as a teacher, I have learned a few words in the past few days, amusing the ancestors, no matter how much it is, it will be gone, or the Feng Lazi who doesn't know a big word." ”
Everyone laughed and fell back: "The mouth of the real phoenix girl is the most clever, and no one can compare to it." ”
Lin Zhao and Daiyu sent Jia Mu and others out, and they disappeared for a while, but they were only delayed for a while, and the two appeared at the door of the mansion hand in hand.
The people of Jiafu have always been careless, where would they pay attention to this, only Lin Zhao glanced at it, and saw that there seemed to be tears in the eyes of the two of them, and there seemed to be dust on Tanchun's clothes.
After thinking about it, Lin Zhao didn't say anything.
After everyone left, and settled the troubled Sister Feng, Daiyu said to Lin Zhao: "The third sister knelt down to me just now, let me ask you for something."
"Kneel?" Lin Zhao sighed.
This Tanchun has outstanding appearance, shrewd and capable, full of scheming, decisive, and has the nickname of "Rose", and is a strong character.
Under normal circumstances, if it is for herself, even if she is wronged, she is afraid that she will not beg anyone, let alone kneel.
I am afraid that there is only one person who can bend her knees for a girl like her.
"But for the sake of our third brother," Lin Zhao said.
"Not really. Daiyu sighed: "Brother Huan is becoming more and more disagreeable, but I'm afraid it's not as good as Cousin Baoyu." ”
It turns out that although Jia Huan and Tanchun are sisters and brothers of the same father and mother, they are different from Tanchun, and they were brought up by Aunt Zhao since childhood.
Although this Aunt Zhao has a good color, she is a girl from a room, a vulgar character, a famous master and a real slave in Jiafu, Sister Feng once said that she "is confused and blinded, and her tongue is rotten...... I don't want to think about being a slave, and I deserve to be two or three girls!"
Although she is Jia Huan's biological mother, she is narrow-minded, vicious and selfish, even more low-status, has no cultivation, she is still like a shrew, where can she teach Jia Huan what is good, she will only instigate him to make trouble, Jia Huan was beaten for making trouble, and Aunt Zhao couldn't come forward to support him, and it was always Jia Huan who was unlucky in the end.
Jia Huan, who was raised in such an environment, was, as Mrs. Wang expected, a lewd and obscene guy, naturally Jia Zheng didn't like it, so he couldn't pose a threat to Baoyu.
This Jia Huan didn't know who took him to Yunfangzhai a few days ago, and he had six taels of silver on him, and he called a first-class table and two top girls!
As a result, at the critical time, this Jia Huan couldn't come up with the money, and was blocked by a few turtle slaves squeaking and screaming.
I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate, but I was noticed by a few prodigal children, ransomed him, but signed a loan shark.
So Huan Laosan owed people a hundred taels of silver, and they wanted him to pay back.
What can he do?
had to pester Aunt Zhao and Tanchun.
This Aunt Zhao couldn't be pestered by him, but she could only cry and scold.
Tanchun, on the other hand, is a smart one, and he gives the answer in a few words, but he also has a trace of despair.
One hundred taels of silver is nothing to Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Mu and they had a good time, a quail egg is a tael of silver.
Jia pardoned Jia Zhen's wine, but it was more than five hundred taels of silver.
But for Aunt Zhao and Tanchun, it is an astronomical amount.
They didn't dare to tell Jia Zheng, for fear that the old man would lose his temper and kill Jia Huan.
Fortunately, Tanchun was not a fool, and immediately thought of Lin Zhao.
So he took advantage of this banquet and seized the opportunity to ask Daiyu.
"It's not hard to solve this kind of trivial matter. But after helping this time, I'm afraid there will be a next time. We've got to figure out a way to do it once and for all. Let the third man reform himself. Lin Zhao smiled slightly.
