Waiting for Lin Han to find out what his mother's reason was, when he was crying and laughing like this, he was silent for a long time.

He didn't know whether to believe what the grandmother said.

Thinking of his mother's expression at dinner, I am afraid that she is the same as myself, wondering how much truth there is in what my grandmother said.

It's not that I judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but this explanation came too suddenly, which inevitably makes people suspicious.

But, what is the purpose of such a sudden explanation?

This night, Lin Han frowned in his small study for a long time...

The same thing happened in Shuiyunxuan.

Xiao Daiyu also lay in her bed and thought for a long time that night.

She didn't think about anything profound, which was a bit difficult for her.

Xiao Daiyu's real body is the ancient lotus.

Although, she has lived for a long time, almost as old as this world.But compared to human beings with short lives, her mind is still extremely simple.Even if the primordial lotus has aura, she is still a plant.Plants have no heart and no emotion, even if she is reincarnated as a human, she is still like a blank sheet of paper, not knowing what is love and what is hate, what is sorrow and what is love.She can't understand the complex emotions and changing minds of human beings.

However, Emperor Ziwei Xuanyi's nagging companionship for thousands of years, at least taught her what to like and what not to like.

Just like tonight, she just felt weird and uncomfortable.

She didn't like the look of the pretty mother, very much.

Daiyu didn't like that smiley yet crying expression, as well as the deep sadness lingering in the beautiful mother's eyes.

She likes to see the smile of a beautiful mother, the kind of smile that really comes from the heart.

Xiao Daiyu frowned her beautiful eyebrows as beautiful as distant mountains, and thought: I miss Xuanyi so much.If he was here, he would definitely know why the pretty mother had that look...

When the moon was in the sky, Lin Ruhai came back.

At this time, the lights in the main house were still on.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and Lin Ruhai is not the only one who is busy.Even Jia Min was busy looking at the account books sent by various shops and Zhuangzi every day.

These days, Jia Min waited for Lin Ruhai while reading the account book.

Lin Ruhai originally thought that today Jia Min would still be reading books on the warm couch like in the past, but when he entered the room, there was only one lamp on the small table on the couch, waiting there alone.

Lin Ruhai groaned in his heart, and raised his feet to go to the inner room.

It was dark in the inner room, and the lights were not lit.

Lin Ruhai got used to it for a while before he could see the scene in the house clearly by the moonlight.I saw that Jia Min was leaning against the window looking up at the moonlight in a daze.

A cloak was put on his shoulders, Jia Min was shocked and came back to his senses.

"Master is back."

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Min's distracted look, and only asked, "But what's the matter?"

While talking, Lin Ruhai pulled Jia Min to sit on the imperial couch covered with fur blankets.

Holding Jia Min's slightly cool hands, Lin Ruhai disapproved and said: "Every year, there are those account books. You just ask the people around you to look at them. Doesn't that Zhuran know how to settle accounts? These extraneous things, Just play with it casually. You stay up all night with the lights on like this, but if you are tired, is it worth the money?"

Hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Jia Min's heart warmed up, and he was still a little depressed, but it actually faded a lot.

"Those account books have already been finished." Jia Min said with a smile.

"Those things, how can they be dealt with casually like the master said? To put it closer, the monthly bills of the servants of the whole family will be distributed; the managers of the various shops at the end of the year will also be paid. Those who need to give red envelopes to their wages; those who come and go during this New Year’s festival, the annual gifts to various houses and prefectures also have to be calculated, and the ancestral hall at the old house in Suzhou also needs to be filled with some sacrificial fields. Brother Han, don’t you want to prepare a dowry gift when you grow up to marry a daughter-in-law? Yu’er will be a big fortune in the future, and the dowry must be prepared from now on; those Zhuangzi shops that dowry will also slowly start to buy Come down. It’s not easy to choose the right one among these things, you have to look slowly and find it slowly.”

As Jia Min said, he gave Lin Ruhai a sidelong glance.

Then, he continued angrily: "Besides, these account books are all made up by various managers. We only check this once a year. If we don't pay attention to it, over time, people's hearts will change. .”

"There are always some people who, seeing that we don't investigate carefully, will start to steal and play tricks. Then, they will do those dirty things. False reports, corruption, these are just old tricks Yes. Even in the lord’s yamen, it’s time to carefully check the accounts at the bottom of this year. Those who read the books of sages, can’t escape the temptation of this yellow and white thing? Not to mention those ordinary people. You know, people die for money, birds die for food, this has happened since ancient times.”

Lin Ruhai was slapped by Jia Min, but he still looked like a good man, and was having fun there.

"I just said such a thing in vain, but it attracted such a big reason from you."

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Min with a smile, and said indifferently.

Well, this looks like a bit of a spirit.Unlike what I saw when I first entered the room, the whole person was submerged in sadness, and even I was also sad.

Jia Min's phoenix eyes glared, but she refused.

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai hurriedly begged for mercy, "My wife is right, very reasonable."

Jia Min was amused by Lin Ruhai's appearance, and couldn't help but coquettishly said: "Fortunately, he is still an official, and he is really shameless."

As he said that, Jia Min rolled his eyes and looked over, full of flair.

"The small kitchen is warming old chicken soup with bamboo fungus, do you want some more?"

These days, Lin Ruhai didn't go back to his house to eat, so Jia Min prepared some soup every day, preparing for Lin Ruhai's health.

"Well, let's use some first. What else is there to eat right now?" Lin Ruhai said, then got up and followed Jia Min out of the inner room.

Hearing this, Jia Min's eyebrows almost stood up.

"The master doesn't eat on time again! How many times have I said it, it will ruin my health if it goes on like this! Why doesn't the master always listen."

Jia Min complained and complained, but she also knew that sometimes the yamen was so busy that there was really no time to eat.Unable to help feeling distressed, he hurriedly called someone to prepare some nourishing food for Lin Ruhai.

Because the Chinese New Year is coming, even a small kitchen has plenty of ingredients.

After a while, two meat and two vegetables, four dishes and one soup were set up on the small table.

Lin Ruhai was also really hungry, so he quickly finished the meal.

"Master, don't use too much. Be careful of overeating. It will be uncomfortable at night." Jia Min said while feeding Lin Ruhai.

"It will take a few more days? Otherwise, how about asking the boy to bring some snacks for the master tomorrow? It's really hurting to be so hungry."

Lin Ruhai swallowed the last mouthful of food in a hurry, before saying: "It's almost done, and there are only a few days to be busy."

After Lin Ruhai finished his meal, Jia Min gave Lin Ruhai another small bowl of longan red date tea, and he drank it slowly to nourish his stomach.

The two returned to the inner room and sat together for a while.

"Although the master is busy at the end of last year, he is not as busy as this year. He has been busy for more than half a month." Jia Min asked with a frown, thinking that it was too unusual.

Lin Ruhai covered the small teacup with both hands, and said with great satisfaction: "This year is no better than in previous years. The emperor is in a hurry to spend money, but the treasury is now empty and tight. The salt tax has naturally become extremely important."

Jia Min looked at Lin Ruhai puzzled.

"The army of the Western Expedition returned to the court a month ago. Although this battle was won, Galdan ran away. The emperor is very dissatisfied with this result."

Lin Ruhai's eyes were full of wisdom.He had noticed from the mansion newspaper a month ago that the emperor still wanted to go west, and that it would be a personal conquest by the royal family.Originally, the emperor planned to personally conquer Ge Erdan this year, but it was a pity that something happened to Brother Nine. After all, the son was still important, so this time the Western Expedition was changed to General Shengjing and General Jilin to cooperate with each other.

It's just that Lao Kang is not satisfied with the result of this western expedition.Lao Kang really hated Ge Erdan, and vowed to wipe him out completely.

"I guess it won't be long, and the west side will fight again."

Hearing this, Jia Min recalled the details of Jia Amnesty that Jia's mother mentioned in her heart, and Liu Mei gradually frowned.
