Chapter 26
Chapter 26
Also serving Tu Junpu as the master, Lin Ruhai and Shui Jin expressed their intention to get close to each other, but they had no choice but to have a prince Teng in the middle, so it was difficult for them to show too close.
In addition, because Lin Ruhai didn't have a good impression of the Jia family, he couldn't get along well with Wang Ziteng, so he put on a face during the banquet, and he didn't look very happy or enthusiastic.
Wang Ziteng didn't know if he didn't notice it, or he was too thick-skinned and didn't take it seriously. After eating a meal, he was really overly enthusiastic, which really made Lin Ruhai a little overwhelmed.
After drinking and eating, Shuijin called a servant, and after whispering for a while, the servant turned around and took a long box from the inside and handed it to Shuijin, and Shuijin opened the long box. From the box, he took out the bright yellow brocade imperial decree inside, said solemnly, "Lin Ruhai accepts the decree."
The sudden imperial decree made Lin Ruhai a little confused. After all, because Prince Teng was by his side, Shui Jin didn't say hello to him in advance to let him have a mental preparation.
But as long as you think about it carefully, you feel that this imperial decree was issued by Tu Junpu, and it is very wrong to harm yourself.And according to Wang Ziteng's diligence just now, if he is going to be unlucky, based on his relationship with the Jia family, it is already lucky that Wang Ziteng does not make trouble, so how can he have the intention to please himself.
As expected, the essence of the imperial decree issued by Shui Jin was just to let Lin Ruhai return to the capital and become an official in the capital.
Hearing this, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but frowned tightly. After all, he had long planned to rectify the order of Yangzhou's officialdom. If it went well, he could follow this trend to rectify Jiangnan's officialdom, and then gradually rectify the entire court.But Tu Junpu's move can be regarded as disrupting his plan.
However, it's fine if Tu Junpu doesn't understand, but didn't the old sage object?
After all, the old sage was very supportive of his idea of rectifying the officialdom in Yangzhou before, so there is no reason to let Tu Junpu mess around.
Lin Ruhai couldn't figure it out for a while, but no matter whether he could figure it out or not, even if he was unwilling to accept the imperial decree in front of him, he still had to behave happily to continue.
Shui Jin knew what was on his mind, when Lin Ruhai reached out to receive the imperial decree, he shook the opponent's hand without a trace, and then let it go quickly, which could be regarded as a comfort or a reminder.
Lin Ruhai accepted the imperial decree, and the prince beside him rushed forward to congratulate him.Although he didn't know what kind of official position Lin Ruhai could get after entering Beijing, but the other party was Jane's figure in the emperor's heart, and he was favored by the old sage and the new emperor. The other party became more and more heated.
It's a pity that Wang Ziteng couldn't make friends with Lin Ruhai because of the Jia family's relationship, which made him feel that it was a pity.But even if you can't make good friends, at least you can't make bad friends.
Seeing that the Lin family was about to rise, Wang Ziteng didn't want to forge a feud that would hinder his family's future.
The incident of the Japanese pirates was barely dealt with. Shui Jin and Wang Ziteng set off for the capital the next day, and Lin Ruhai, as an official in Yangzhou, naturally handed over all the innocent people who were captured and escaped now. Give it to Lin Ruhai, who will help them resettle them home and distribute money to comfort them.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆It’s even a dividing line★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
After all, Tu Junpu has not forgotten that there are young children in Lin Ruhai's family, so he did not force Lin Ruhai to go to Beijing immediately in the imperial decree. Go to Beijing together.
However, the itinerary was too hasty. At the very least, although the Lin family had a mansion in the capital, no one lived in it. Although someone cleaned it when Tu Junpu ascended the throne last time, it has been a long time. Looking at the past, there is no time to send someone to rest the mansion first.
But Lin Ruhai didn't dare to disobey what His Majesty said, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and bring the sons and daughters who had finally been comforted to Beijing together.
It's just that Lin Ruhai only brought two of those concubines, and the two concubines who gave birth to concubines, Lin Ruhai turned around and sold them out, just because he was afraid that they would give birth to the second and third girls on their own. Being pampered and spoiled made the house's sense of propriety messed up.
Although it is not impossible for Lin Ruhai to take care of him, after all, his ability is there. Whether it is outside official business or family affairs, both of them can still be taken care of in an orderly manner, but the capital is not as good as other places, and Lin Ruhai is afraid that he has no intention of paying attention to those women. Therefore, it is better to cut off this possibility from the very beginning, so as not to cause trouble if something happens, and you will be exhausted and panicked.
All the way to Beijing on the official boat along the waterway, although it was a period of time in advance for people to go to Beijing to clean the house, but Lin Ruhai calculated that it would be good to clean four or five out of ten in such a short time.
In addition, temporary residence is different from long-term residence. The flowers and plants in the mansion, as well as the courtyards where Lin Daiyu, Lin Ling, and the other two concubines Lin Hongyu and Lin Qingyu live will also need to be rearranged. However, they can only be wronged to live in a courtyard with him temporarily.
Otherwise, if there are people coming and going outside the yard, if some face-to-face craftsman sees them and abducts them for a moment with bad intentions, then they will really want to cry without tears.
The official ship stopped at the official port in the capital, butler Lin had already brought all the manpower and chariots and horses to wait.
Seeing the official ship berthing, Steward Lin hurriedly asked the servants to unload the boxes and cages of the Lin family.After seeing that the servants were doing their work with reason, Lin Steward bit the bullet and went to welcome Lin Ruhai who came down from the boat.
It wasn't that Housekeeper Lin did something bad, so he didn't dare to see his master, but that he was accompanied by Lai Da, the butler of Jia's family, and he really didn't want Lai Da to disturb the master's mood.
It's just that this butler Lai is really thick-skinned. No matter how the butler Lin hinted, he told him that the relationship between his master and the Jia family is really not good. It is impossible to go to the Jia family as soon as he enters the capital. Let them not Shameless.
No matter how unhappy Lai Da was in his heart, he still had to say with a smile on his face that Mr. Lin was not free, but Miss Lin and Young Master Lin should go to visit their real grandmother, and then insisted on following .
Butler Lin saw that Lai Da was not easy to dismiss, and because he was just a servant, without his master to speak, he couldn't get angry with Lai Da to drive him away, so he could only take people to see Lin Ruhai. .
However, the Jia family sent Lai Da to come over, wanting to reconcile with the Lin family in a shameless manner, and the housekeeper Lin is not ignorant of the joints involved.
After all, His Majesty loved his lord very much back then, so it’s fine to call him back to the capital, and even specially sent craftsmen to renovate the Lin family’s mansion in the capital. I heard that the furniture inside was arranged by His Majesty himself. Yes, the calligraphy and paintings hanging inside were taken out of His Majesty's selfish treasury and specially given to the Lin family. Even the flowers and plants planted in the yard are all exotic flowers and plants cultivated from the imperial garden, and His Majesty did not hide them. Privately, he generously sent it to the garden of the Lin family.
Such an honor is really unprecedented, and it is even more impossible for someone to come in the future. My master is the only one who created the world.
It is conceivable that after the old lady of the Jia family knew about this, she would regret how reckless she was and what she did.
"Master." Steward Lin went forward respectfully, and explained his arrangements one by one: "The luggage is almost settled, and the carriages for the eldest girl, the second girl, the third girl, and the young master are already waiting. Do you want to sit in a sedan chair or ride a horse?"
"Let's ride a horse." After staying on the boat for several days, Lin Ruhai felt that his bones were stiff, so he just rode a horse to relax his muscles and bones. "How is the house cleaning going? But let's arrange the yard for me and the girls and young masters first?"
"Master, don't worry, the entire mansion has been settled, and there is no need to specially hire craftsmen."
Butler Lin's words made Lin Ruhai stop abruptly: "What's going on? Why so fast? Don't be perfunctory and stuff me."
"Master, don't worry, how dare this old slave." Lin Butler said with a smile, his expression was extraordinarily proud: "As soon as this old slave came to the capital, he found that the mansion was almost settled. It turned out that the current His Majesty Shengming gave the housewares calligraphy and paintings, sent masons and carpenters, and sent many exotic flowers and plants that can only be found in the imperial garden to plant in the garden. Compared with the Heavenly Palace and Wonderland, it is probably not far from the palace where His Majesty lives."
Lin Ruhai couldn't help but sullen when he heard this.
"Master, what's the matter with you?" Seeing Lin Ruhai seemed unhappy, butler Lin couldn't help thinking about what he didn't say just now, which made the master feel unhappy?It's just that he thought about it, but he didn't think of an idea, so he could only ask.
"It's nothing." Although Lin Ruhai panicked in his heart, he felt that Tu Junpu's actions had put him in an unrighteous situation. If he couldn't manage his interpersonal relationship well, or couldn't let Tu Junpu continue to be so honored, If she has a good impression of herself, she may not end well in the future, and even if she does not end too badly, Lin Ling will have a difficult time in the future.
But this is a great grace, Lin Ruhai has to accept it.
"I'm just thinking that since I've arrived in the capital, there's no one who doesn't go home without first entering the palace. If it spreads out, people will think that I'm too negligent." He went into the palace to reply to the decree, but before he left, he couldn't help telling Butler Lin: "Since the mansion has been rested, you can take the eldest girl and the others back to the mansion first, and I will take Lin Dan together."
"Yes!" Lin Butler hurriedly agreed.
