When Yongzheng dressed as Lin Ruhai

Chapter 31

The young servant took the order and took Lin Ruhai to the place of the elder Jia She, but because Jia Taijun devoted himself to protecting his beloved young son, Jia Taijun made no distinction between young and old in Jia's mansion, and did not follow the etiquette. Jia Zheng was the younger brother. The one who occupied the main hall of the Rongguo Mansion, but Jia She, who was a serious raider, was arranged to live in the Huayuanzi to the east, so Lin Ruhai went to Jia She's place, and his previous words, it was inevitable that Jia Taijun I feel a little embarrassing on the face.

But so what?

Lin Ruhai was invited by her. It was a violation of etiquette to let him directly enter the inner courtyard. To put it bluntly, the family is not outlandish, but to put it bluntly, it is to disregard the reputation of the family members of the family. This is already letting Jia Taijun do things. Up and down.

Lin Ruhai came to Jia She's study, but because Jia She hadn't heard from him yet, she didn't come yet.Lin Ruhai didn't mind either, and just waited inside.

After observing the study carefully, I can't see how many books there are, but only the Four Books and Five Classics are displayed for appearance. The rest are mostly travel essays, but the content of the writing is very worth reading.

Lin Ruhai took down the next book and only flipped through a few pages when he heard the sound of footsteps coming in from outside. He turned around with the book in his hand, but just in time to see the door of the study being pushed open, and Jia She was walking in a hurry. walked in.

"You've been waiting for a long time, but the slaves in the mansion are used to being lazy, and they sent someone to come back to me when they arrived in the study." Jia She took a few breaths, and after waiting for a while, he slowly explained to Lin Ruhai .

Lin Ruhai has seen the rules of the Rongguo Mansion before, so he didn't think it was strange, he just nodded and said with a smile: "I'm fine, it's not because of this, I don't know that my brother-in-law has these good books in his study room, so I don't know why." It’s a feast for the eyes.”

Jia Amnesty took a closer look at Lin Ruhai's expression, and seeing that he didn't seem to be saying something sarcastic, he felt happy. "I don't have anything else to do on weekdays. Except for the occasional click, I'm actually free. I don't like to read those serious books, and I don't need the imperial examination, so I sent someone to find these in the market. Miscellaneous essays can pass the time."

"Eldest brother is too self-deprecating." Lin Ruhai laughed, as if he didn't believe his words: "Even though elder brother only won the idle title, you are the master of this general mansion after all. Yes, where would you be idle all day long with nothing to do?"

Jia Amnesty didn't think about anything else, he just thought that Lin Ruhai had stayed in Yangzhou for many years, and only now returned to Beijing, so he didn't know the connection, so he didn't feel that the other party was sowing dissension, or being sarcastic, so he sighed:

"Ru Hai doesn't know something. Although I'm the biggest in this family in name, my mother is holding me back. Because my mother said that my younger brother is upright and has a position in the court, it's better to have only one title than me." It's better, so I wholeheartedly welcome my younger brother to Rongxi Hall, but I live in this garden, I really can't be more aggrieved."

Although there is an old saying that is good, you must not make your family ugly.But in Jia She's mind, this Lin Ruhai is his sister's husband-in-law, and his identity is not outlandish, so it doesn't matter what he said.What's more, he was really wronged in his heart, and he wanted to find someone to complain for a long time, but there was no one around him who could say it.

What's more, Jia Amnesty had inquired about it a long time ago. Lin Ruhai entered the Rongguo Mansion, and the person who entertained him should be the head of the Rongguo Mansion.But Lin Ruhai didn't go to Jia Zheng's study, but someone took him to his own study. How could Jia Shen not remember his affection, and naturally he became more and more close to him, and didn't like it. How much is rusty because of not seeing each other for several years.

Jia Taijun's injustice and unkindness, he is obviously the head of the Jia family but can only live in a corner, every day Jia Zheng goes out to represent the Rongguo Mansion to socialize but he can only idle at home, all kinds of things here, how can Jia Shen not complain in his heart? .

It's just that he is a filial person and he doesn't want to refute the old lady.

"This Mrs. Jia welcomed the second uncle into the Rongxi Hall, so the second uncle really accepted it?" Lin Ruhai seemed not to believe it, and asked in shock: "Isn't it right? The second uncle is only a fifth-rank Officials, actually live in Rongxitang? There is no distinction between seniors and juniors, and there is no order, this Rongguo Mansion..." I am afraid that it is really about to fall.

Lin Ruhai sighed, although he was taking pleasure in others' misfortune, but in the end he saved face for Jia Amnesty and didn't continue talking.

Jia Amnesty also had a sad face, and didn't care about the unfinished meaning in Lin Ruhai's words.

In fact, he thought so too.

But so what.Is Jia Taijun Jia She's mother after all, Jia She is filial in itself, and what dynasty or generation does not rule the country with filial piety?So it can only be endured.Even though Jia Amnesty knew in his heart that if the time hadn't come, Jia Taijun might have asked him to give up his title to Jia Zheng.

Seeing Jia She's performance, Lin Ruhai's eyes sparkled, and he asked, "Brother, how do you think your skills are comparable to Duke Zheng Zhuang's?"

How could Jia She not know about the allusion between Zheng Zhuanggong and uncle Duan? Even when he read "Zuo Zhuan" and saw this passage, he felt a sense of sympathy for Zheng Zhuanggong.

But one yard counts for one yard, Jia She doesn't think he can have Zheng Zhuanggong's means.And even if he pampered Jia Zheng like Zheng Zhuanggong pampered his uncle Duan, in the end, he could only be robbed of his title by Jia Taijun and sent to Jia Zheng instead of getting rid of his uncle Duan like Zheng Zhuanggong.

After all, Jia Amnesty had to admit that Jia Zheng's character was considered to be much higher than his own, so from this point of view, Jia Zheng was still very good at putting on airs.

What's more, when Jia Taijun talked about her eldest son with others, he was full of complaints, saying that although he was not filial, he loved talking and he loved women the most. It is not innocent.But when it comes to her youngest son, she is full of praise for all kinds of nice words.

Therefore, Jia Amnesty's reputation became worse than Jia Zheng's.

In the future, if Jia Zheng really robs Jia She of the position of first-rank general one day, even outsiders will take it for granted.

But how could Jia Shen willingly sink to this point!

But if you want to rise up, how easy is it?

In fact, Jia Amnesty also had an idea, that is, he didn't know if the person in front of him was willing to help him.So, he sighed for a long time, shook his head and said, "I'm not as good as him."

Lin Ruhai smiled and asked, "But you want to be like him, don't you?"

Jia Amnesty did not speak, and acquiesced.

"At the very least, you should ask Mrs. Jia to return Rongxitang to you, and the words of the housekeeper of the second room are really not pleasant, so we should find a way to return the housekeeping rights." Lin Ruhai continued, At the same time, he did not forget to observe Jia She's reaction, seeing that he did not object, he went down just now.

"I heard that in addition to the housekeeper of the second wife, some affairs of the mansion are also handed over to Lian's daughter-in-law. Is it true?"

At this moment, Lin Ruhai was sure that Jia Amnesty really wanted to get tough, so he didn't care to let him know that he actually knew everything about Rongguo Mansion well.

Jia Amnesty also realized this, but he would not say anything to make Lin Ruhai feel disgusted.After all, he is the first person in these years who is willing to stand up for him, and he is also his brother-in-law, and the legitimate sons and daughters under his knees are all born to his own sisters, so he will not harm himself.

At most, it was because of Jia Taijun before that he wanted to fill her in.

So Jia Amnesty thought for a while, nodded, and said: "That's true, but Brother Feng is only in charge of small matters, while the siblings are in charge of important matters of money, Brother Feng is at most running errands."

"It stands to reason that the housekeeper of the first house is the right way, but now the housekeeper has been reduced to the second room's helper, which is really sad." Lin Ruhai didn't want to pay attention to the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion at first, but Taijun Jia was too disgusting. So although he was in a hurry, he still easily thought of a way.

"Brother brother is too gentle. In fact, although the family background of the eldest wife is not as good as that of the first wife, let alone the second wife, she is not bad, and she also took care of the house before she got married. It's also right for the eldest wife to take over. If Lian's daughter-in-law wants to help, she should also help the eldest wife."

When Jia Amnesty heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "What good idea does Ruhai have?"

"It's not a good way, it's just a middle-of-the-road way." Lin Ruhai said: "It is estimated that the reason why the second housekeeper is still appointed after the old lady passed away first, and now the eldest wife came in. It's probably because the eldest wife is from a small family, and she is not as good as the second wife in terms of housekeeping, right?"

"Exactly." Jia Amnesty nodded without hesitation.

"What if the housekeeper of the second room makes a big mistake?"

"How is this possible?" Jia She said intuitively, "My brother and sister have always acted in a safe manner. Even if there are occasional small mistakes, they will be resolved quickly. How can there be a big mistake?"

"But aren't we going to let her make a big mistake now?" Lin Ruhai sneered at Jia Amnesty's innocence in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face. "And it's better to prevent her from pushing the matter to Lian's daughter-in-law."

"Since that's the case, it's up to you." Jia Amnesty nodded half-understood, and this was his chance, so what if he gave it a go? !Anyway, it won't be worse than it is now. "You are a smart man, and you have always had an idea. I can't trust you more than anyone else."
