Jia She, Chief Assistant of the Red Chamber

Chapter 125 The Emperor Bestows Nicknames

Di'an sighed silently when he heard Jia Amnesty's words. Fortunately, he had made enough preparations before reporting.

"It is said that the concubine's room was left by the old lady, which is quite respectable."

"Oh." Jia She said casually, "It's just a bastard. The sky is turned, unless it is recorded under Min'er's name and raised as a bastard, otherwise it is the turn of the bastard to inherit the Lin family? Learn, don't be Lin Ruhai, the famous Tanhualang, who is not good at law, and don't be like all the dead members of the Lin family."

In her previous life, Lin Ruhai was very shrewd.

When the conflict between the two emperors became increasingly acute, on the one hand, he sent his daughter to Jia's family in a low-key manner, and on the other hand, he transferred the family property to the Lin clan.When his stupid son helped with the funeral, he only brought back the female family members of the Lin family, and the most was Jia Min's dowry. Oh, and he also met Lin Ruhai's heir introduced by the head of the Lin family.

For disaster, I went to Jia's family, and the advantage was that I remembered my surname Lin.

Ha ha.

Di'an's hands became softer, and he gently hung Jia Amnesty's shoulders.He was a little confused by Monk Zhang Er.His master, Jia Amnesty, is actually quite kind-hearted, a real knife-mouthed bean curd heart.Just like before, no matter how stiff the quarrel with Jia Zheng was, it didn't harm Jia Zheng's children, and Jia Zhu was not prevented from entering the scientific examination after filial piety.If it were the masters and sons of those palaces, they would have been wiped out long ago.

But why treat the Lin family as if they had taken fire and medicine, crackling and burning?

"Go reply and tell Jia Min that the Jia family will never have any activities in terms of government affairs. Don't even think about it, I am only a fifth-rank official, how can I help a third-rank official? He, Lin Ruhai, wants to move his position." , I don’t want to go up? How is it possible? Yes, my Jia family has shelter, but even if there is shelter, it is still in the military. Politically, I am also squeezed out by the civil servants. I am still smiling every day. "

Not to mention Xiao Cui, who is still his concubine and boss, and his respected brother, Qi brother, loyal and side-by-side king.He is really the only one in Jia’s family, Rongning and Ningxia (as for Jia Zhen, she is still being “punished” to practice Taoism. After two years of repairing, she finally sent a letter a while ago, inviting them to visit the opening ceremony of Taoism). Even the gate of Qianqing Palace cannot be entered by virtue of official position.

Even mentioning Cui Yu.To put it bluntly, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!

Jia Amnesty paused every word, and said in a straight voice: "As for housework, tell him that even if a daughter of the Jia family has a daughter, there is nothing to cowardly. She is a regular wife for a day and will always be a wife. If she can't give birth to a son, then It’s also a wife! My Jia family still has the confidence to protect married women. The common people know this truth. If their daughter is wronged, the whole village can resist a hoe fight. Let alone us? Really want to be wronged because of this , I brought people to smash the door of Lin's house."

"Forget it, let me write it myself. You speak so nicely, I'm afraid people won't understand you." Jia Amnesty said worriedly.

Diane: "..."

=======

Half a month later, Yangzhou inspected Yan Yushi's mansion

When Jia Min received the letter, she glanced at Lin Ruhai, and smiled wryly, "Master, elder brother is so unscrupulous, I hope you don't mind." After all, the elder brother is not as close as the second elder brother to her.

Her natal family can be relied on, but it's not suitable, sister, you divorce, I have money to support you.

But the problem is, now the Jia family, or the Lin family, are so short of money!

It's not about money!

The job of inspecting salt censor is difficult, the master is busy with official documents every day, and sometimes he has to deal with those salt merchants who are full of money and fat belly, and occasionally even play tricks on the spot, and before he knows it, his hair turns gray.

"Min'er, you and I have been in love for so many years, how can you say such outspoken words?" Lin Ruhai had also read the unceremonious, sharp and vulgar words. When it came to the water tank given by Yuci, he became more and more cautious in salt administration, not daring to take a wrong step.After finally seeing that the term of office has passed, I want to move up.Unexpectedly, it was rare to send a letter begging Jia's family for one or two, but was slapped by Ling Kong.But when he turned his eyes to see the distressed look on Jia Min's face, he slowed down his tone and said a few words of comfort in a harmonious voice.

"Didn't elder brother care about you? Now Rong Mansion is supported by him alone, so he will be more cautious. When the time comes, you will come to Beijing with me. Regardless of elder brother's attitude, you haven't seen your mother-in-law for a long time. It's..."

While talking, a maid hurriedly ran into the inner room, as if she didn't see Lin Ruhai, and hurriedly said to Jia Min: "Madam, go and see the young master! The young master just vomited after eating."

Before Jia Min could speak, Lin Ruhai's complexion darkened, "What's going on? Will you vomit if you're fine?"

"Then have you checked with the government doctor?" Jia Min said, comforting Lin Ruhai: "Master, don't worry. My child..."

Before he finished speaking, Jia Min looked at her husband who had already left before him, and hurriedly followed.Before he got close to the room, he heard the words: "Jin'er is the only child of the Lin family, she will be safe and sound", and her body stiffened suddenly.

Jia Min lowered his head sadly and saw the letterhead he brought out in a hurry, and heaved a long sigh.Then he quickly cheered up and did what a first wife should do.Seeking medical advice, watching her husband comforting her aunt softly, watching...

Jia Min was depressed and busy again, and naturally fell ill.

After falling down, Lin Ruhai rubbed his forehead, gave up the idea of ​​bringing Jia Min to Beijing together, and went to Beijing to report on his duties.Although the Lin family has an old house in Beijing, it has not been lived in for many years, and it is quite inconvenient to clean it all at once.Therefore, Lin Ruhai also lived in the residence where officials from other places came to Beijing.

Now that it is the end of the year, even if he is the censor who patrols salt, he is not so important among the group of border officials and border generals who have entered Beijing.Therefore, Lin Ruhai asked to see the emperor, but did not see him immediately, and sat on the bench for half a day.

As for not sitting all day, thanks to Jia Lian and Jia Rong.

Speaking of which, since Cui Yu ascended the throne, although Jia Lian and Jia Rong were not accompanied by the prince, they often went to the palace to play with the current prince.Occasionally go to Daming Palace, and occasionally act as a little magpie.

On this day, it happened that my uncle and nephew entered the palace to bid farewell.They plan to go to Quang Binh to attend the opening of the Taoist temple.All of them are leaving, including Emperor Taixing and Song Baci of Dali Temple. They also want to join in the fun and see the underground palace of the previous dynasty, leaving only the emperor and the prince.

How miserable.

After the uncle and nephew comforted His Highness the Crown Prince, Jia Rong was rather bold, and dragged Jia Lian to come to the emperor's place to enjoy the imperial meal.

Compared to Lin Ruhai who was left aside coldly, the eunuchs were much more kind and polite to Jia's uncles and nephews. When they sat down, they immediately served hot tea and hot snacks.

Jia Lian sat still and drank tea in silence, but Jia Rong was still very active, turning left and right, watching someone staring at them steadfastly, allowing others to look at them generously, and smiling kindly at them.

Lin Ruhai was the one who looked at people.

Hearing the eunuch's address, he involuntarily glanced at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian seems to be in his teens, and his appearance is just like a beauty. When he grows up in the future, he will be even more handsome.Not to mention this whole-body demeanor, which reveals the nobility of the children of the aristocratic family, but it is also gentle and refined, making people love it when they see it.

Such a child would actually belong to his eldest brother-in-law Jia She!

It is true that he had also heard about Jia Shelang's turning back, but he always felt that it was impossible.How could a wandering playboy, who had never read the Four Books and Five Classics, be named on the gold list in just three years?Not to mention Jia She's outrageous behavior at the Qionglin Banquet.

Maybe it was preconceived, but Lin Ruhai always felt that a large part of Jia She's fame was due to his father-in-law, Jia Daishan.

If a person's mind is biased, and he has never met anyone again, and all the news he gets comes from other people, and he is choked by a vulgar letter, Lin Ruhai really doesn't want to see Jia She even more. Yes, I just feel that people are dandies, and he doesn't bother to talk to people anymore.

But never expected that Jia Lian would be such a handsome child!

Lin Ruhai was in a daze, and saw Jia Rong smiling brightly at him again, just like the youngest son he dreamed of.The youngest son doesn't need to be as strict as the eldest son, and he is a little naughty and childish.And a little baby fat, white and fat, thick-headed and tiger-headed, and good-looking, so good-looking that I really want to abduct him and go home.

Jia Rong blinked: "..." Is this good-looking uncle out of his mind?

After a while, the inner eunuch led the uncle and nephew into the house.

Seeing the two walking away, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but frowned.

"My lords, you have worked hard." Dai Ping walked in, waving his whisk, and said politely: "The emperor has already eaten, and my lords are also invited to have a meal now. Afterwards, the emperor will announce to you one by one, and please wait for a while. "

"Eunuch Dai is polite, and I would like to thank the emperor for his compassionate ministers and others." The governor of Yunnan replied with a smile.In terms of official position among the people present, he is the highest, so he should be the leader.

Others also echoed one after another, saying from the bottom of their hearts.

This is sincere, one must know that before they had an audience, they had to blow cold wind outside, but now they can at least stay in the side hall, where they can eat and drink.

Not to mention the courtiers who were waiting for the announcement, after a visit in the imperial study, Jia Rong got up and said her purpose with a smile: "Grandpa, I'm here for lunch. Your place is much more delicious than Uncle Yan's." gone."

"Who was crying and wanting to lose weight earlier?" Cui Yu turned his face and joked.

"That's the Rong'er of the past, not the Rong'er of today." Jia Rong replied very honestly: "The Tao can be said, the name can be named, fat can be as fat as he wants, and the food can't live up to it."

"You little slick!"

The food had already been served while talking, Cui Yu asked the two to sit down and asked about travel preparations.

"Lian'er, your father is afraid of the cold in winter, you, Mr. Yu..." Cui Yu was really envious of Jia Zhen's treatment as he spoke.

Isn't that just cultivating a Taoist temple?

The whole family went together in a mighty way.

There are old people in this line of work, young and old, and sick and sick. Even if it is only a four or five day trip, they always feel uneasy.

Jia Lian expressed understanding for the emperor's concerns.After all, the two of them couldn't ask for leave, so they could only envy them.

"Uncle Huang, please rest assured that this trip was planned by my father. Mr. Yu and Mr. Xiao have discussed the itinerary. I promise you will have a good time."

Cui Yu: "..." Cheap son, you will pierce my heart.

Cui Yu silently changed the subject and talked about other things.

"Grandfather, there is a strange one among your courtiers, who has been staring at me like a flower." Jia Rong couldn't help complaining as she thought about the strange person she had seen earlier.

"He's staring at me, okay." Jia Lian also noticed the person, and couldn't help clarifying: "Obviously his gaze was on me, so I'm too embarrassed to be picky eaters. "You can't embarrass their husband!

"Really?" Cui Yu glanced sideways at Diane.

After a while, Di An reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, that is Lin Ruhai, the inspector of Yanyan."

"That's your relative, but you haven't seen it for many years, that's all." Cui Yu cleared up his doubts, and then asked about other things, telling the two of them to do their homework and so on.

After eating, he signaled the inner eunuch to send the two of them out of the palace, Cui Yu rubbed his head, and he remembered—Imperial Water Tank!

"Let's go to Xuanlin Ruhai to see him."

After the order, Cui Yu drew out the taxation of the salt administration summarized by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Water transportation in the south of the Yangtze River and salt administration have always been hotbeds of corruption.

Lin Ruhai is still within the allowable range.

But compared to the first two years of his tenure, this year is somewhat oversubscribed.

Cui Yu tapped his fingers on the table, and after asking about some government affairs, he glanced at Lin Ruhai and suddenly smiled: "Lin Aiqing, it is said that you finally have a son?"

Lin Ruhai's mind went blank when he heard the words, and he lowered his head in thanks and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I am ashamed to say that I have indeed got a son."

"It is said that a child with a humble nickname is easier to support when they are young. Aiqing, you are a vassal, and I naturally hope that your children will be safe." Cui Yu narrowed his eyes: "Maybe I can give Mr. Ling a nickname. "

"This is a blessing for dogs." Lin Ruhai hurriedly knelt down and thanked after hearing this.

"I still remember that when I first took office in the past, I gave you a water tank. This tank was opened by Master Wu Hui, and it is very spiritual." Cui Yu said: "It is said that you have a daughter. Then I will give it to you together, so as not to say that I It favors boys and despises girls. Girls are called Miaomiao, and boys are called water tanks."

Lin Ruhai: "..."
