Chapter 56
Chapter 56
Today is a happy day. Although Erfang's family was a little reluctant to move out of Rongguo Mansion, His Majesty has given him a mansion. After all, it is a face-saving mansion, and more than half of that reluctance has been dissipated.
Also because of this face, Jia Zheng specially set up a dozen tables of banquets in the outer courtyard of the new mansion, and also set up a dozen tables in the inner courtyard to entertain the wives and girls of various families.
The four princes and eight princes have been friends for generations since the founding of the country, but the four county kings in the southeast, northwest, and north did not personally come to support the housewarming banquet of a fifth-rank official, so they were just so polite that no one could be seen.
Wang Ziteng took over the post and is not in the capital now; the two marquis of the Shi family are Shi Taijun's nephews. Even if they only have a vacant position, they are also the most sensitive to changes in the court, so they can easily detect something is wrong, and they don't want to be with him anymore. Jia Zheng's family has too deep contact; Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen both know the real reason why Erfang moved out of Rongguo Mansion, and they are not willing to have any intersection with them, so they didn't even give them expensive gifts, only for face. That's all.
Because of these reasons, there were not many high-ranking officials and dignitaries at the housewarming banquet hosted by Jia Zheng. Only some speculators who saw the possible benefits in front of them and could not see the further situation brought their own families. The female family members of the family flocked to Jia Zheng's mansion to celebrate his housewarming.
The four kings and eight princes did not come, nor did their important relatives. Those who came were all because of Jia Cairen in the palace, and powerful people because Jia Zheng was Jia Amnesty's younger brother, and Jia Zheng's work. Cleaners, Jia Zheng was so angry that he couldn't speak.But no matter how unhappy Jia Zheng was, he couldn't show it on the surface, so as not to make people feel out of style and be made a joke for no reason.
In the inner courtyard, Mrs. Wang was also very uncomfortable.The four kings and eight princes didn't come, but the family members of petty officials who came here were naturally not very well-bred, so there was a lot of noise inside, which made Mrs. Wang feel a little headache.However, this is not the reason for her distress. After all, the family members of these petty officials all flatter Mrs. Wang, which makes Mrs. Wang feel a little flattered, but these are the family members of those who consider themselves noble. I did it, so it was a blessing in disguise.
But it was her younger sister Xue Wang who really made Mrs. Wang feel uncomfortable.
At the end of the housewarming banquet, Mrs. Xue found an opportunity to talk to Mrs. Wang about her precious daughter Xue Baochai.
Mrs. Xue wanted her daughter Xue Baochai to enter the palace. Although it sounded good, she wanted Xue Baochai to enter the palace to help Jia Yuanchun, but Mrs. Wang let herself be like others. How could anyone believe that someone who became rich would remember relatives and sisters? ?What's more, my family knows about my own family affairs. The current second house is no longer the second house of Rongguo Mansion, but a separate family. How can I hold Xue Baochai and let her enter the palace?Even if she enters the palace, she is just an ordinary girl from the imperial business, she can only be the most ordinary maid of honor.
But Mrs. Wang also knows that her family is no longer what it used to be, and the daily expenses can no longer be drawn from the public treasury of the Rongguo Mansion, nor can it take advantage of the power of the Rongguo Mansion to take on lawsuits outside, or secretly use the money from the public treasury outside. Give out money for profit, and Jia Zheng still has to keep clean guests in the government. His precious son Baoyu must have a maid, and he must not touch the clothes that are even close to the decorations. There is nothing missing, so Mrs. Wang, who has never been worried about money, has grown a few white hairs in her black hair in the short few days after she moved to the mansion, and she has aged a few years.
Therefore, Mrs. Wang is unwilling to tear face with the Xue family.
Although the Xue family is different now, it is an imperial merchant after all, and it is doing business in the palace. Even if the mansion has lost tens of millions of wealth, there are still millions of property, so Mrs. Wang still has the heart to follow. The Xue family took part of the money to supplement the Jia family.
Originally, Mrs. Wang was still thinking about how she should think of a way to get money from Xue's family, so after she figured it out, she immediately understood what she should do, so after feeling uncomfortable, she turned to Xue Wang's family. They became intimate again.
Whether Mrs. Wang has the ability to send Xue Baochai to the palace is another matter. She only said that she already has a plan in mind, and she is thinking about borrowing the fact that Mrs. Wang Xue wants to send Xue Baochai to the palace. This made it difficult for Jia's family to spend money now.When it was time for the draft, Mrs. Wang would find another excuse, such as the fact that Xue Pan’s murder was discovered and exposed as a reason to tell Xue Wang’s family that Xue Baochai had been dismissed. ? !
Mrs. Wang has been eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha for many years, and she talks about kindness, kindness, and kindness, but when she thinks of those evil ideas, she will not show mercy at all, even if the other party is her own sister.
However, think about it.After all, how can a woman who dares to monopolize lawsuits and give out profits, which can cut off children and grandchildren, be a truly kind person.
It's just that Mrs. Wang is not a hairy and careless person. There are many things that are inconvenient to say at this crowded banquet, so she stayed and moved back to Xue's house in the capital after moving out from Rongguo Mansion. Mrs. Xue, the owner of the house, stayed in the mansion for one night, so that he could talk about his private affairs.
Xue Wang readily agreed.
Having talked too much about the Jia family, now let's talk about Lin Ruhai again.
Thinking about the separation of the two households in the Rongguo Mansion, thinking about Jia Taijun, who is always thinking about his own daughter, and never seeing anyone again, thinking about making the second house, Jia Zheng's family, unable to turn around, Lin Ruhai, who doesn't feel guilty at all, is now at home. Resting peacefully for a while, he has been busy with the affairs of the court for too long, and he has not been as relaxed as he is now for a long time.
By the time Lin Ruhai woke up from his sleep, the sun had already set in the west.Some time ago, Lin Ruhai was always busy with official duties, so Lin Ruhai wanted to take this rare rest, just to talk about family affection with his three daughters, so as not to be away from home for too long, and they would not even eat together, so that they would not recognize him. But it would be bad.
Lin Ruhai thought so jokingly, but she really missed her daughter a little.
Lin Ruhai has always liked the warmth of home. In his previous life, as an emperor, even though he longed for the life of ordinary people, he couldn't even show it, because he knew that if he showed any clues, he might be punished by his opponent. Seeing his own weakness, and then came up with a way to harm himself, not to mention, I'm afraid it will affect his children.
Moreover, as an emperor, he should not show his face, nor should he have obvious preferences.
Don't you see that even if it is only on one dining table, if the same food is eaten more than three times, the table will be removed, and no one will be allowed to sit on the imperial banquet for half a year, which shows the harshness of the emperor's life.
It is simply that now Lin Ruhai is no longer the emperor, but an ordinary official, enjoying the rare family affection in the previous life, so there is no need to hide it.
Today is Lin Ruhai's rest, but tomorrow he also plans to rest for another day, because tomorrow is the birthday of Lin Ruhai's second daughter, Lin Hongyu, and third daughter, Lin Qingyu, and it is time to celebrate.
Although Lin Hongyu and Lin Qingyu were born as concubine daughters, they are only two years younger than Lin Daiyu, but they are not much worse than their elder sister in cleverness and obedience, and they are also sisters with Lin Daiyu, and they were well-bred by Lin Ruhai. And Lin Daiyu often reminds them, so they behave in a very orderly manner on weekdays, quite like a girl from a big family.
Therefore, Lin Ruhai also loves them very much. Although they are not as good as Lin Daiyu, they are indeed very good, but whatever Lin Daiyu has, they can't do without that.
It's just that now that Lin Daiyu has become Princess Xianya, she can wear some things, but Lin Hongyu and Lin Qingyu can't touch them randomly, so the difference between the three has been widened.
But in general, Lin Ruhai is really good to Lin Hongyu and Lin Qingyu, and Lin Ruhai will naturally not wait for their birthdays tomorrow.
As a matter of fact, I have to invite some daughters of my colleagues to come to the Lin family to play.
Lin Ruhai was not afraid that others would think that Lin Hongyu and Lin Qingyu were just concubine daughters and would not come to the Lin family to celebrate their birthdays. After all, now Lin Ruhai was a figure in the Emperor's heart, and the officials of the same dynasty knew that although he usually looked peaceful, But it is extremely difficult to get close to. Now that there is finally an opportunity, who would give it up foolishly.
