Because there are many private matters, some things are inconvenient to deal with at home, so after Lin Jin left Jia Minxiao, she bought a small mansion in the name of Mama Tao's husband to take care of her affairs that could not be known by her family.

Although Lin Jin had the idea of letting that Xiaoliu take the imperial examination for her, but that Xiaoliu didn't know anything about herself, in this case, how could she rest assured that he would go to the exam on her behalf, so she sent someone to check on this Xiaoliu to see if she could find out the bottom of this Xiaoliu.

At this moment, Wang You is returning the news to her: "Uncle Hui, this Xiaoliu's full name is Liu Xianglian, his family is good, he was born in the side branch of Liguo Gong, and the relationship with Liguo Gong is not far away, his grandparents and the current Liguo Gong Liu Biao are cousins, but even when his grandparents were alive, the relationship between the two families was very ordinary, and after the death of his ancestors, the relationship was even more estranged. His parents died at the end of last year, because he was the only man in the family, and the clansmen coveted the property left by his parents, so they abducted and sold him to Jiangnan. ”

"Liu Xianglian?" Hearing that Xiao Liu's was actually Liu Xianglian, Lin Jin was stunned for a moment, and then thought of Liu Xianglian's personality obtained from the "prophet", she was relieved, and felt that it was safe to let him take the exam for her, and there was no need to find anyone else.

Wang You replied: "By the way, uncle, when I was checking this Xiaoliu, I took it upon myself to check the girl I bought back with him by the way." ”

Afraid that Lin Jin would be angry, he hurriedly explained: "The reason why I did this is because I heard Mama Tao say that the uncle wanted to let that girl enter the mansion on an errand. What the uncle is doing now, as well as the master's messenger, are extremely important, so the little worry is that she is a trap given to the uncle by others, so I want to check her. ”

Although Lin Jin and Wu Jiugong Chamber of Commerce hid the affairs of their families, they couldn't hide the long-term entourage who followed her, so Wang You's worries, she understood, so she didn't say anything about his self-assertions, but asked in some surprise: "That girl was abducted when she was young, and she doesn't remember what happened at home, can you still find out her details?" ”

"Uncle, the water has left traces, the geese have left a voice, as long as you have the heart to investigate the things in this world, even if you can't find out the bottom of it, you can still know a thing or two after all.

I don't know what the girl's original name was, but the kidnappers who sold her kept calling her 'Suzuko'. It turned out that the kidnapper took her to live in Jiangzhou, because the kidnapper lost money in gambling, and was afraid that the gambling hall would collect debts, so he took her to Yangzhou, and then because he had no money to make it, he sold her, and originally wanted to raise her for another two years and sell it to a merchant family as a concubine. As for where they settled before they came to Jiangzhou, I haven't found out yet. ”

Although she knew that Suzu was pitiful, but there were many poor people like her, Lin Jin didn't have so much compassion, and didn't want to waste manpower on her, so she stopped Wang You's behavior: "Okay, that's it, no need to check down." ”

……

Wang Zuo, who was standing at the door, saw Lin Jin riding a horse from a distance, and hurriedly greeted him, saying, "Uncle, you are back, my wife is looking for you urgently, and I have asked people more than ten times, but I haven't found you, and I am so anxious that I am about to go to the house at this time." Let's take a look. ”

Hearing this, Lin Jin hurriedly threw the reins in his hand to the little guy waiting on the side, and in a hurry, he ran to the east courtyard in three steps and two steps, and at the door, he played opposite Aunt Lin who came out to play with Yang Lin.

Seeing her like this, Aunt Lin frowned and scolded: "You are also a big man, look at what you look like now, what is your demeanor?" ”

Originally, Lin Jin was worried that something terrible had happened, so that Yang Wan was in a hurry to find her, but seeing Aunt Lin's attitude and her demeanor, it was obvious that the matter was not important, so she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down.

Yang Wan, who heard Lin Jin coming from Aunt Lin's voice in the house, rushed out of it in a hurry, and before she came to Lin Jin, she hurriedly asked, "I heard that the emperor reprimanded your father, what is the reason, do you know?" The lord won't be demoted because of this, right? ”

Seeing Yang Wan's frightened look, Lin Jin was stunned for a moment, and then thought that her life trajectory had a huge turning point because of her brother's depreciation, although things had already changed, but Yang Wan became a little bit of a snake because of this, and she was scared when she heard the news that Lin Ruhai was reprimanded by the emperor.

Without waiting for Lin Jin to speak, Aunt Lin said, "Didn't I tell you, it's okay, so you don't have to worry, why are you still thinking about this?" It's not that you don't know, the master knows that Jing Shi Daru came to Yangzhou, and finally got a place for Brother Jian'er, and asked her to go and ask for advice, so you are busy calling people back for this trivial matter, isn't this delaying Brother Jian'er to do learning? ”

In front of Aunt Lin, Yang Wan almost said whatever she said for the first time, and shook her face to her mother, and refuted unceremoniously: "Back then, you refused to tell me the truth, for fear that I would worry, so you and your brother were fine, and the result?" ”

stared at Lin Jin tightly, and threatened: "Brother Jin'er, in the mouths of your father and your grandmother, I can't hear the truth, as a son of man, if you don't want to bear the charge of disobedience and unfilial piety, you must not hide anything from me, a mother." I want to tell the truth, you tell me honestly, does it matter? ”

For the ancient society of "ruling the country with filial piety", if a person is charged with disobedience and unfilial piety, whether it is a man or a woman, it means that there is no future. Yang Wan used this to threaten Lin Jin, which shows that she is really anxious.

Lin Jin understood Yang Wan's mood, looked at Yang Wan who was nervous and worried, gave her a soothing smile, and said gently: "Mother, rest assured, the person who the emperor ordered to reprimand this time is not just my father, but all the officials of the entire Lianghuai Salt Administration.

Although my father is the governor of the salt imperial history, he is not the highest official of the two Huai salt administrations, so even if the sky falls, there are tall people on top of it. Moreover, in addition to the emperor's reprimand of Lianghuai, the salt officials of Liangzhejiang, Liaodong, Changlu and other places were also reprimanded.

The law does not blame the public, and besides, such a large number of officials, even if the emperor wants to change, he will not be able to find a suitable candidate for a while, so mother, you will put one hundred and twenty hearts, and my father will be reprimanded this time, at most, at most, he will be punished, and he will never be dismissed from office. ”

Yang Wan breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked uneasily: "What you said is true, didn't lie to me?" ”

"Absolutely." Lin Jin accentuated her tone and emphasized, "I didn't lie to you, and it is necessary to lie to you." ”

In fact, to tell the truth, Lin Jin hopes that Lin Ruhai can take this opportunity to change his official position, even if he is demoted.

In the original history, Lin Ruhai died in the position of patrolling the salt imperial history, so Lin Jin was a little taboo about this official position, felt unlucky, and felt that if Lin Ruhai had been doing the imperial history of the salt patrol, maybe his fate would return to the original old road, and if he was transferred, it was very likely to escape the future "death".

Moreover, Lin Ruhai, the official who patrols the history of the salt imperial history, was promoted by the emperor who abdicated, although after Emperor Zhengxi ascended the throne, he was not replaced with his henchmen, Lin Jin didn't know that it was because the new emperor did not have the authority and could not be replaced; I haven't found the right person at hand for the time being, and it's not easy to replace it; or Lin Ruhai has taken refuge in the new emperor, so he can continue to stay in office; Or maybe it was other reasons for Lin Ruhai to stay in Yanzheng.

But no matter what the reason is, in Lin Jin's opinion, the officials here in Yanzheng are not so easy to do, and the ancient careers are bloody, but they are not just talking. Even if you don't be an official, you know that the officials of the salt administration are the fat difference of the fat difference, but it is precisely because of the fat difference that there are many people staring at it, so the official of the salt administration is not easy to do.

Lin Ruhai is not young, and his health is not good, although it is not for him to resign from his official position and retire for a long time, but in the long run, it is best for him not to worry so much about it, and it is best to change to an idle official. Anyway, because of the scarcity of the Lin family for several generations, the Lin family is not short of money at all, and there will not be a situation like the Jia family, where the pockets are exhausted and the back hand is not good, even if Lin Jin and Yang Lin are as losers as Xue Pan, they will not be defeated.

Besides, even if the Lin family has Lin Jin, a fake man, and Yang Lin, a real boy, there is no need to worry about the successor cigarettes, but Lin Ruhai is not the same whether he is there or not. You must know that there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure. Even if Lin Ruhai is no longer an official when Lin Jin enters the official career, his experience in ups and downs in the sea for many years can still help Lin Jin a lot, and with him, even if he is the uncle of the Jia family, the Jia family still does not dare to be too presumptuous, and he has a lot of scruples in acting.

And once he falls, Aunt Lin is an outsider among the rest of the Lin family, Yang Wan's identity is a hard injury, Lin Jin and Yang Lin, who can make decisions for the Lin family, are both juniors, and they are congenitally weaker against the Jia family.

Therefore, out of many considerations, Lin Jin felt that it was better for Lin Ruhai to change his official position. It's just that how to tell Lin Ruhai about this, she hasn't thought about it yet, so she hasn't spoken.
