Lin Mansion, Zhongtang Flower Hall.

The fragrance of tea is curling, revealing the light and leisurely strands.

Lin Ruhai sat on the main seat, although his face was a little weak and pale, but his body was as tall as a cliff and a green pine, and he was a literati who did not dare to underestimate him in the slightest.

Jia Cong sat down with a little brother, and sat like a primary school student listening carefully.

As for Lin Daiyu and Phoenix Egg, who were temporarily received before, they didn't go to the Lin family's garden here.

Lin Daiyu is twelve years old, although in Jia Cong's opinion, she is similar to a child in the fifth or sixth grade of a modern primary school, but she is already a half-grown girl in Daqing, and she is not suitable for seeing foreign men.

That's right, Jia Cong's younger brother is a foreign man!

This is also the main reason why Jia Cong received Lin Daiyu when he came out to face him before, and directly drove all the younger brothers out of the house.

He doesn't care about these so-called rituals, but he can't hurt the innocent by his temperament.

Lin Ruhai naturally wouldn't make such a mistake, and only the phoenix egg was like a child who hadn't grown up, and he didn't know that he had unconsciously committed a taboo and hurt Lin Daiyu.

In other words, the phoenix egg is really a cow!

When chatting with Lin Daiyu, I learned that this guy saw that Sister Lin was going back to Lin's house for a few days, so he immediately had to come over, and even rolled around in Rongqing Hall for a while.

Jia Cong can imagine how wonderful the old housekeeper Lin who took Lin Daiyu home was at that time.

Well, at the old lady's urging, the old housekeeper Lin had to pinch his nose and admit it, and bring the phoenix eggs back to the Lin family together.

This kid doesn't know if he's really stupid or pretending to be stupid, and he doesn't know how to cover it up when he arrives at the Lin family, and he doesn't leave Lin Daiyu an inch, isn't this giving Lin Ruhai eye medicine?

It can be clearly seen that Lin Ruhai has a general impression of phoenix eggs.

When the phoenix egg was happy to accompany Lin Daiyu to the garden to play, Jia Cong even saw Lin Ruhai's face, and it turned black for a moment.

This guy is also good at self-cultivation, or he doesn't want to worry about juniors, so he simply can't see it out of sight and is not upset, and let Phoenix Egg follow Lin Daiyu away.

Anyway, although the age of the two is a little delicate, the blood relationship is real, as long as the Lin family keeps their mouths tightly closed, outsiders don't know about it at all.

Seeing Jia Cong, Lin Ruhai's attitude was quite enthusiastic, that kind of happiness was not pretended, and even a kid could see this.

first asked about Jia Cong's experience after returning to Beijing from Jiangnan, and before calling the younger brothers over, Lin Ruhai privately reminded Jia Cong: "Don't play too much, especially new ones, don't be deliberately biased, or tell stories about some abnormal phenomena!" ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh: "As far as I, an idle official of the Ministry of Rites, have heard some words that are not very friendly to your kid, it is better to be careful!" ”

Although Jia Cong is a well-known family in the capital, and the few books he wrote are all hits, he is also involved in a lot of court affairs.

Open-minded officials naturally don't care, as long as they don't involve themselves, they don't care at all, they just have fun.

can't stand some of them being narrow-minded, or they are implicated in some plots, and they have a lot of opinions about Jia Cong.

Even the cabinet boss, I don't want Jia Cong to continue to write some stories that are not easy to describe, after all, a little turmoil in officialdom is a great thing.

A white ding, with just a few copies, has set off a lot of waves in the capital, and this kind of ability is very fearful.

Lin Ruhai lived a leisurely life in the Ministry of Rites, and he still had time and time to ponder and study some rumors in the officialdom of the capital, so he was naturally keenly aware of the dangers.

I haven't had the opportunity to meet Jia Cong alone before, and some of the points are not good at pretending to others, just a little bit of knocking on the side when borrowing letters to exchange.

Right now, since Jia Cong took the initiative to visit him, whether it was as an elder or grateful for saving his life, he had to explain the situation clearly.

"Don't worry, uncle, the prince of Chu has already told me before!"

Jia Cong smiled lightly: "What I wrote after that will not be involved in some things anymore!" ”

"That's great!"

Lin Ruhai can see it more clearly than Si Ding, the prince of the king of Chu, and he didn't persuade Jia Cong to stop writing.

Although the name of the family is nothing at all, it is also a good status brand.

Lin Ruhai is keenly aware that the semi-monthly magazine of Huiyou Bookstore has become quite influential, and it can be regarded as a special voice channel.

As a top literati in Daqing, he was still born in a Jiangnan family, and even if he has not operated the manipulation of public opinion, he knows many of them.

It is not easy to master a voice channel, but if it is well maintained, it may have a great effect in the future.

The popular books written by Jia Cong are essentially a special kind of public opinion guidance.

The result?

Yangzhou salt merchants have been put to death, and I am afraid that Yangzhou salt merchants will always have a big change.

And the dignified clan boss Prince Zhongshun was forced to shrink the palace and not come out, and the peripheral forces were all finished.

These two incidents are enough to show how powerful the publicity and appeal ability of Huiyou Bookstore is.

In the world, and in a place like Daqing City, where powerful people gather, because of interests or other reasons, they will always offend people or form grudges.

With Huiyou Bookstore and the extremely influential semi-monthly magazine in hand, when you are really in trouble, and you can't use too many officialdom resources, the publicity influence of Huiyou Bookstore is a killer feature!

Lin Ruhai took these into account.

Therefore, he did not think that Jia Cong at this time had already 'become famous', like the prince of Chu, and there was no need to spend any more energy on writing.

After whispering, Jia Cong summoned the little brothers who were waiting outside the door and asked Lin Ruhai to help palm his eyes and take a look at the quality of these little brothers.

"You boys' basic skills are very solid, and your understanding of the scriptures and meanings is also in place, as long as you are not particularly unlucky, there is a lot of hope for the children and even the talents in the examination!"

After comparing the homework of a boy, the result was that Lin Ruhai was greatly surprised.

originally thought that Jia Cong, this kid, brought people over, and he had the meaning of showing off.

He knew what was going on in Rongguo Mansion, and it was not easy for a general's concubine to be able to subdue so many half-sized sons.

He also thought that Jia Cong was worried that his identity was not enough and he couldn't suppress his younger brother, so he went to the Lin family to find himself to pull the tiger and pull the banner.

I also stayed in the capital for a while, and I understood very well that the situation in Ning Rong's second mansion was not very good, mainly because of the decline caused by the lack of ability of the principal.

Compared with Rongguo Mansion, Ning Guofu is even more unbearable.

The situation of the Jia clan is like that, otherwise, how could it be that even a child could not be cultivated in the previous decades?

Therefore, he didn't expect the homework level of Jia Cong's younger brothers at all.

I just didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly!

In addition to Xue Pan, all of these boys have a solid foundation and a very thorough understanding of the scriptures, as long as they don't encounter particularly unlucky things, they can basically pass the children's test, this is Lin Ruhai's judgment.

He was surprised by the result!

Suddenly looked at Jia Cong, who was breezy and light, his eyes couldn't help but change, and he sighed softly: I already paid enough attention to this kid, but I didn't expect that I still didn't pay enough attention to it!

With Lin Ruhai's wisdom and his understanding of Rongguo Mansion, how could he not know that these boys can have the current level, and they must be inseparable from Jia Cong.

Not only is he capable of being outstanding, but he can also cultivate talents quietly, which is terrifying to think about.

At this time, Jia Cong's status as a concubine could no longer stop the momentum of his rise, and even the discourse power and importance of the Jia family were still above the newly promoted chain two.

Once Jia Cong's younger brothers all succeed in the imperial examination, and there are more than a dozen children and talents standing behind them, how big will the shock be to the Jia family?

With the strength of Ning Rong's Second Mansion, as long as he has passed the Xiucai examination, he can arrange a high-grade position in the government, which is a force that should not be underestimated.

After a long time, when these boys grow up, their official positions will also rise, and they are also a rather not weak force.

This is a fairly bright path, and if the Jia family grasps it well, there may be a more prosperous future.

If you want your children and grandchildren to be qualified to be admitted to the Xiucai examination and become a high-level official, the Jia family must attach all kinds of importance to Jia Cong.

When the time comes, not to mention the right to speak or anything, it will be too difficult for the old lady to suppress or beat, and the resistance will be too great.

Because Lin Daiyu was fostered in Rongguo Mansion, Lin Ruhai was very concerned about the affairs of Rongguo Mansion, and even arranged for people to investigate inside information.

With the sieve-like secrecy of Rongguo Mansion, on the night when Lian Er held a celebration banquet a few days ago, what happened in Rongqing Hall had already reached Lin Ruhai's ears.

It just feels ridiculous......

The old lady has mastered quite amazing network resources among her masters, so she naturally has the qualifications and confidence to be willful.

But this kind of unreasonable beating and suppression will only make the relationship between the big house and the second room worse, and even completely cut off contact.

If the brothers are not in harmony, how can the family prosper?

I believe that the old lady can't not know this truth, but she just goes her own way, pretending not to see that the momentum of the big house has risen.

still want to force Jia Baoyu's kid to get up, can this kid afford such expectations and responsibilities?

"It seems that you kid has long been confident about the future!"

When he came back to his senses, Lin Ruhai's eyes were still complicated when he looked at Jia Cong, and he sighed lightly and reminded: "Home and everything is prosperous, don't take some things too seriously, time is on your side......"

Not to mention, I almost forgot, don't look at Jia Cong's height and physique at this time, taller and stronger than ordinary adults, but his real age is less than twelve, and his real potential is endless, he is simply a demon!

"Uncle, don't worry!"

Jia Cong naturally understood the meaning of Lin Ruhai's words, and smiled leisurely: "I can earn a family business by myself, why should I be wronged......"
