"Lord Lin, the slave is also a member of the Four Princes, why do you even have to fall on the face of the Four Princes? No matter how favored you are in front of the emperor, you will not have a deep relationship between father and son. Father-in-law Liao's eyes stared at Lin Ruhai deadly.

Lin Ruhai smiled mockingly, and then said in a cold voice: "Everyone has a limit, and my Lin Ruhai's bottom limit is my wife and children." You ran to my house, threatening to be bad for my wife and children, and you want me to be kind to you? Although I am weak, I am not incompetent, and you better not do stupid things, or you will ......"

Lin Ruhai's unfinished words made Liao's father-in-law feel furious. He came here to make friends with Lin Ruhai, and he was not stupid enough to offend Lin Ruhai. He knew very well that in the emperor's heart, the status of the four princes could not be compared with Lin Ruhai at all. There is no one in the court for the mother family of the four princes, only one uncle is the prefect in southern Gansu, and if you want the four princes to gain a foothold in the court, it is necessary for Lin Ruhai to be like Lin Ruhai, who has both holy favor and connections.

Father-in-law Liao felt that he was out of standard today, he felt that he personally came to the door to give the New Year's gift, which was already the greatest sincerity of the Four Princes' Mansion, Lin Ruhai refused without hesitation and caught him off guard. He was anxious to let Lin Ruhai accept the New Year's gift, as long as the New Year's gift stayed in the Lin Mansion today, it would be difficult for Lin Ruhai to get rid of the four princes in the future. However, in today's situation, one wrong step and one wrong step, he is now difficult to ride a tiger.

Father-in-law Liao quickly made a decision, and knelt down with a pop, Lin Ruhai reacted very quickly, dodged and avoided behind Father-in-law Liao, and shouted outside, "Come on, invite Father-in-law Liao out!" ”

After speaking, he no longer gave Father-in-law Liao a look, and walked out of the side hall quickly.

Father-in-law Liao was held by two guards, and when he arrived at the door of the Lin Mansion, he pushed him out, and then the two guards entered the door, and the door slammed shut.

After Gonggong Liao staggered a few steps and stood firm, he turned around and saw that the gate of the Lin Mansion had been closed, and the New Year's gifts he brought were piled up on the road, and on the side were the subordinates who came to carry the New Year's gifts. Gonggong Liao looked at the passers-by who came and went pointing at him, and felt ashamed and annoyed, so he commanded people to pack up their things and carry them back to the Four Princes' Mansion.

After listening to Father-in-law Liao's narration, the fourth prince looked at the old man kneeling on the ground, he silently helped him up, and waved him to go down first. When he was left alone in the house, the fourth prince let out a long sigh!

"This step is blocked, and it will continue to hibernate! You tell me to forbear, but for how long?! ”

Lin Ruhai didn't go back to the main courtyard to find Jia Min, he went directly to the study to summon the shadow.

"What happened to the fourth prince, why did you suddenly make a move?"

The Shadow shook his head and said, "Nothing special, why don't I send a message to our spies and ask him to check it out?" ”

"Let him pay attention to who the four princes have been in contact with recently."

The Shadow took the order and left the study. Lin Ruhai sat at the desk, picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Jia Daishan, and then called Lin Xing to send it to Rongguo Mansion.

There are some things that Lin Ruhai can't come forward, but Jia Daishan can, "If you dare to threaten me with Min'er and the child, you have to bear my anger." Lin Ruhai put away his anger, put on a gentle smile, and walked towards the main courtyard.

In Jia Daishan's study in the outer courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Daishan read Lin Ruhai's letter, slapped his palm on the desk, and the things on the desk trembled.

"Lai Da! Call Lai! ”

The little guy outside the door opened the door, stood at the door of the study and bowed down and said, "Back to the master, Lai Butler's mother Lai Mo is sick, he is going home now!" ”

Jia Daishan then remembered that in the morning he granted Lai Da leave and asked him to go back to see his wife. He waved his hand irritably to let the little guy out, while he paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back.

After a long time, Jia Daishan walked back to the desk, sat down and wrote a reply to Lin Ruhai.

This incident did not cause any waves, everyone just said in private that Du Dao Lin Ruhai really wanted to be a lonely minister, and even dared to lose the face of the prince. But the calm surface does not mean that the dark tide below is turbulent, it's just that people are busy with the New Year and don't have time to pay attention.

The four princes have been exhausted these days, first of all, he was outside the city of a Zhuangzi who was hiding grain and money, and was destroyed by a fire for no reason, and the things inside were burned, and no one was alive. Someone was sent to investigate, but it was the child in Zhuangzi who was naughty and set off firecrackers to ignite the firewood piled up by the wall, and the child's family died in the fire.

Then, one of his casinos in the capital was found harboring court repeat offenders. In fact, it was a murderer who had been hunted by the imperial court for many years, hiding in the casino as a buddy, and somehow he was recognized and sued to the government, and the government came to arrest him, and the casino was sealed.

The fourth prince vaguely felt that these things had nothing to do with Lin Ruhai, but he couldn't find any evidence, these two things were accidents, but they were too coincidental. This time he suffered heavy losses, and the accumulation of these two years and the most profitable livelihood have now been ruined. The fourth prince is really annoyed by Father-in-law Liao now, there is more than enough success and more failure, if it weren't for the fact that he has paid a lot for himself, he really wants his life. However, even more terrible things are waiting for him.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min happily spent the New Year, on Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin Ruhai took Jia Min to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, talking about the changes of the Lin family over the years, especially mentioning that being able to marry Jia Min as a daughter-in-law is the blessing of their Lin family.

At night, Lin Ruhai was reluctant to let Jia Min keep the New Year, and let her go to bed early, but he waited for the firecrackers to be set off before staring in the study. Early the next morning, the people of the Manchu Mansion came to kowtow to their husband and wife, and Jia Min asked people to carry a basket of red envelopes, and each of them got one.

At the palace banquet on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jia Min was exempted from participating because he was about to give birth, and Lin Ruhai entered the palace alone.

Jia Daishan saw his son-in-law from a distance at the gate of the palace, so he shouted loudly: "Love son-in-law!" Such as the sea, wait Lao Tzu! ”

"Happy New Year, father-in-law!"

Lin Ruhai turned around and saw that Jia Daishan had arrived in front of him alone. He stepped forward to lead the horse for Jia Daishan, and after Jia Daishan got off the horse, the two entered the palace gate together.

As usual, the officials had to go to the Qinzheng Hall to hold the emperor's opening ceremony. And the wives went to the harem to meet the queen first. When everything is over, it's time for the palace feast.

Today's palace banquet The emperor came up relatively late, and it was only almost noon that he heard Shi Gonggong singing loudly: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

A group of ministers ordered the wives to kneel on the ground one after another, and the mountains shouted long live. After the emperor took his seat, the palace banquet began. For a while, the planning was staggered, and the drums were singing in unison.

After three rounds of drinking, Gonggong Shi took out a holy decree to read, "Lin Ruhai takes the decree!" ……”
