With tears in his eyes, the emperor supported Mr. Lin who was about to kneel down and worship him. He directly took the note he handed over and looked at the account books inside. He was immediately elated.

This relieved his urgent need.

"Lin Aiqing, it's great to have you back!"

"Go back to the Emperor. He has already been sent to the Imperial Mansion."

Lin Ruhai didn't want the emperor to think that he had gotten away with it, so he simply arranged for the secret guard leaders to handle it all, and he didn't get involved at all.

"Okay, okay, I can rest assured that Aiqing is doing things. Let's talk about Jiangnan first. I just assigned a new top scholar to take over your class. I wonder if he can suppress Zhen Yingjia?"

The emperor didn't want to show that he loved money so much, but he was really anxious to use money. He simply held the memorial in one hand and Lin Ruhai in the other, and asked someone to move a stool for Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai's character was serious to the core. After thanking the emperor repeatedly, he sat down upright.

"Lord Zhen has no way out. He must be sincerely planning to be loyal to His Majesty this time. If the new Salt Administration can live in harmony with him, he might even be able to surprise His Majesty!"

"Oh~"

The emperor was surprised. He didn't expect Lin Ruhai to be so optimistic about Zhen Yingjia.

However, in the court, the ministers only know how to report sorrow, but not good news. Asked them how to solve the problem, they didn't know anything about it. If someone makes a suggestion, it will be suppressed by other factions. It's really hard for him as an emperor to do this.

Now that he saw that Lin Ruhai brought good news as soon as he came and the follow-up arrangements were also in place, he felt at ease.

"Well, I can trust Lin Aiqing's vision."

He sat on the throne and listened to Lin Ruhai's political remarks. He felt that there was no more caring and capable loyal minister than Lin Ruhai, but...

"So the shipyards in Jiangnan can also start work?"

When the emperor heard Lin Ruhai say that Jiangnan's finances had now returned to normal, and all the original bugs had been caught, he had a plan in mind.

"As long as the ship can be built, we can go out to sea and cruise again. For the sake of the Northern War, the Supreme Emperor used the money from ship construction to build the army. Unfortunately, it turned out to be nothing more than money spent in vain."

"Ahem, it's good that it can still be used in the future. Lin Aiqing may have talents who can be used. In the future, I need a trustworthy person to take charge of shipbuilding. Speaking of which, this matter used to be handled by your father-in-law's family. It’s here!”

The emperor seemed to say something casually, but Lin Ruhai knew that the emperor did not say nonsense.

Is this because he suspects that he and Zhen Yingjia have something to do with each other, enriching his own pockets, and practicing nepotism?

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly in his heart, a lord who is seriously suspicious and ill must learn to avoid suspicion no matter how loyal he is.

But he didn't expect that the emperor's relationship with Baguai could also be used to manipulate him.

"When Wei Chen was in Yangzhou, he did meet a few capable people. He wanted to recommend them to the emperor before. Unfortunately, he was too arrogant because of his talent. He bumped into Prince Dongping when he came to the capital. Now it seems that he has returned to his hometown to recuperate."

Lin Ruhai pulled Jia Yucun out and shook him, saying that he didn't know many talents, and the only one he had met was already useless.

"As for my father-in-law's house, I haven't been there yet, and I don't know what the situation is like. I think I haven't done this for many years, so I'm afraid it's because of my hands."

"Hey~ Lin Aiqing is just too careful. The Jia family is also the pillar of the country. There is nothing that cannot be used."

The emperor laughed, "But I have always been cautious, and I am much more cautious than Prince Teng. In this case, I won't keep you any longer. When you and your wife return to Beijing, many relatives will come to visit you. I have nothing to do here, so I'll just leave you alone." You have a few days off, I'll let you relax a lot, hahaha. But don't be anxious, I really want to use you."

The emperor also knew that based on Lin Ruhai's talents, he must be rewarded with a high official position.

But now the emperor has the Supreme Emperor on his head. If he cares too much about Lin Ruhai, then Lin Ruhai will definitely be beaten on the head by the Supreme Emperor.

Now that he had a way to deal with the Supreme Emperor, he was unwilling to cause trouble at this critical moment, so after careful consideration, he decided to treat Lin Ruhai coldly.

Lin Ruhai had already guessed about this. He didn't have much ambition himself, and he would solve Jiangnan affairs quickly, also because of Jia Min's mother and daughter.

Now that he has entered the capital, where there is still the Jia family who can protect his wife and daughter, he has become more relaxed.

And he also knew what it meant to give up when something was good, and didn't want to keep showing off his talents to attract people's attention. Now he understood what the emperor meant, and it happened to play into his hands.

If he had time, he might as well think about how to deal with the estrangement between him and Jia Min. He really didn't want to sleep alone.

It's better to take care of housework than grind your teeth with a group of old men in the court.

Lin Ruhai stood up neatly and said goodbye to the emperor. As soon as he left the palace, he met his wife and brother Jia Zheng.

"Second brother?"

"Brother-in-law! Oh, you're back. It's good to be back. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Jia Zheng was a little smarter than Jia She. Jia She only knew how to wait for Jia Min at home, but Jia Zheng knew that his brother-in-law must first see the Holy Emperor when he came to Beijing.

So he went to work normally, but got off work early and waited in front of the palace gate. No, let him wait!

"Oh, what a coincidence, what a coincidence. I just got a letter from my mother, saying that my sister has arrived home. Haha, now I happen to meet you again. Come back with me quickly. The dust-washing party at home must have been prepared. ,Ha ha ha ha."

Jia Zheng grabbed Lin Ruhai, as if he was afraid that he would run away. The two of them got close to each other, talking as they walked, and recounted the trivial matters after parting.

When he arrived at Jia's house and Jia She found out about it, he was secretly angry again.

Lin Ruhai also visited Jia Mu and others one by one. After meeting everyone in the circle, he met his wife and daughter under the leadership of the Jia family's maid.

At this time, Jia Min was interrogating Daiyu whether she had suffered a loss just now.

How could Xiao Daiyu suffer? She has just arrived, and everyone in the Jia family attaches great importance to her. How can any maid and mother-in-law dare not be discerning?

Besides, she was accompanied by her father and mother this time, and she was just a guest at Jia's house.

"It's okay, my sister-in-law and sisters all treat me very well. It's Brother Baoyu... Hehe, Brother Baoyu showed off his jade, and even thought that the jade my uncle gave me was the jade I brought when I was born, and he was surprised by my Why is this so big, hahaha, so stupid.”

"Then what did you say?"

Jia Min is still worried about throwing jade.

"Of course I said his jade, how can everyone have it? Brother Baoyu wanted to throw his jade away, but I was shocked. Thanks to the sisters being close to him, the third sister stopped him."

Daiyu wrinkled her cute little nose as she said, "What does it matter to me how he throws his things? I don't like him using me as a raft, so I just kept talking and ignored him."

Daiyu threw herself into Jia Min's arms and acted coquettishly, completely forgetting about Baoyu. She was originally going to be angry at Baoyu, but when she thought about her father and mother, and thought that she would not be able to stay at her grandmother's house for long, she simply stopped being angry.

But facing Jia Baoyu, he was indescribably disappointed.
