The Concubine of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

In the turn of the year, after the fifteenth year, all the yamen and classes of the imperial court began to officially work.After Lin Jue stayed in the cabinet for two days, he was issued an imperial edict by the emperor.Zuoqian worked as a doctor in the Ministry of Industry of the fifth grade and worked in the Ministry of Industry.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is now old and doesn't care much about affairs, and because the king of Yonghe County has experienced in the Ministry of Industry, although he has not held a specific position, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is not easy to compete with him, so he is even more indifferent.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry is a civil servant of the third rank, and there is a servant of the fourth rank under him. Now this position is vacant. Below the minister are four doctors, who are in charge of the Ministry of Industry, Tuntian, Yu, and Water.Lin Jue is one of them, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry.

Because of the vacancy of the servant, it is not surprising that he will be selected among the four doctors. Now Lin Jue has replaced the former doctor of the Ministry of Industry who has retired due to old age. In the eyes of the other three, he is a strong competitor. , so there is a bit of dislike to see him.

But after all, they are all old officials, and they will not show it on the bright side, especially when they know that Lin Jue and Prince Yonghe are on good terms.

Under the four doctors, there is another Yuanwai Lang, who assists the doctor in running errands, but now Lin Jue is under Jia Zheng.

I don't know if the emperor did it intentionally or unintentionally. Anyway, when he came to Lin Jue, he was quite distressed.

Jia Zheng and Lin Jue performed the first salute when they met their superiors. Although Lin Jue had no feelings for the Jia family, now that Jia Zheng gave him a big gift, he really couldn't accept it.After nodding his head in greeting, Lin Jue saluted Jia Zheng as a junior meeting an elder.

After a lot of tossing, the two finally took their seats.Lin Jue said with a smile: "Now that I am trusted by His Majesty, I entered the Ministry of Industry to study, but I don't want to be in the same room as my second uncle. It's a coincidence."

It was also awkward for Jia Zheng to salute Lin Jue. Now that Lin Jue called him uncle, he knew it was about family affairs, so he said with a smile: "My nephew is now valued by His Majesty, and he should do everything with all his heart. Although you and I are uncles Nephew, but there is a difference between top and bottom, nephew don't have to worry too much."

Lin Jue was surprised by Jia Zheng's attitude. If you say Jia Zheng has worked hard in the Ministry of Industry for many years, not to mention credit, he has worked hard.He sought an official position for Jia Yucun, and easily obtained the third-rank official position. He had been in the sixth-rank official wailang for so many years, and seeing that the engineer of the Ministry of Industry retired, it turned out that he had a good chance of being promoted through activities Not to mention being robbed by such an outsider as himself, he is still a junior of his own family, but he has not seen the slightest resentment from him, which shows that this is also a very scheming person.

Lin Jue didn't want to offend Jia Zheng. After all, he knew very little about the affairs of the Ministry of Industry. If Jia Zheng wanted to hide it, he would not be able to find out.Especially the other three Langzhong had been offended by him unintentionally, even though Li Yibai was protecting them, they couldn't offend the entire Ministry of Industry after all.

What's more, if a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake, even if Li Yibai has the status of a prince, how can he still do everything by himself.If he was accidentally put together, would it really be possible for Li Yibai to use his identity to suppress him?At that time, let alone whether it is useful or not, how can Li Yibai convince the public?

"I'm ashamed to say that I'm not familiar with various things in the Ministry of Industry. Fortunately, I have my uncle to help me, otherwise my eyes would have been smeared." Lin Jue laughed at himself, and said, "Although there is a difference between the top and bottom, we are in the end We are real relatives, if I say, we are not outsiders, if no one else is around, we can avoid these customary etiquette."

Jia Zheng still hesitated.

Lin Jue said again: "It's my own selfishness. If my uncle salutes me like this every time he sees me, I really can't bear it. I'm afraid I have to be vigilant when I go to bed at night. Even if my parents are alive, they still want to beat me. of."

After making such a joke, Jia Zheng didn't insist anymore, and agreed with a smile, feeling that Lin Jue was more sensible.He originally complained to Lin Jue quite a bit, but he also knew that Lin Jue was not to blame for this matter. A department like the Ministry of Industry, which is rich in oil and water, is in charge of building things like city construction and civil engineering repairs, and the oil and water are even more abundant. , which can be easily let go.

Speaking of which, I have been in this position for more than ten years, but I have not moved an inch. This time, I am a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, and my chances of being promoted are not great.Fortunately, it is Lin Jue who is here now, and his nephew is also an ignorant person. If he has to rely on himself, even if his position has not been promoted, it may not be short of benefits. Now he is getting closer to Lin Jue.

Lin Jue noticed a slight change in Jia Zheng's attitude, but it was a good change, so she didn't study it carefully, and chatted with Jia Zheng.

It was time to let go of the office, and the nephew and uncle didn't talk about the reason, and they didn't talk about the job at all, but Lin Jue was not in a hurry to take power, and now the power in his own part still belongs to Jia Zheng. In his hands, Jia Zheng didn't want to hand over power, and he couldn't force it.

Speaking of which, Jia Zheng has been in the Ministry of Industry for more than ten years, and his foundation is not insignificant. The former doctor of the Ministry of Industry has just taken office, and he has completely held the power in his own hands, which is also very capable.However, Lin Jue was not in a hurry. Now that the three of them were fighting for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he was emptied out, which was in line with the wishes of the other three. At this time, he was not in a hurry to ask for power. up.

With Lin Jue being so knowledgeable, Jia Zheng didn't want to embarrass his nephew, so he taught Lin Jue some things.Jia Zheng felt that Lin Jue was weak and could be bullied, and he would not hide it. Everything he taught Lin Jue was his own experience gained from ten years of business, which was very useful to Lin Jue.Lin Jue studied hard and did not fight for power, so Jia Zheng gradually let go of his vigilance, and his temperament of being a teacher made him teach Lin Jue more and more things.

Lin Jue was eager to learn, so even after leaving the government office, he would occasionally visit Jia Zheng at Jia's house to discuss affairs.

Lin Jue's serious study inevitably neglected Li Yibai. Li Yibai had to find time to clean up Lin Jue severely, which made Lin Jue sick for two days.

Lin Jue was wearing a robe, leaning sickly on the head of the bed, and bowed to Jia Zheng, "I'm really rude, because my uncle is not an outsider, so I didn't get up, I hope my uncle will forgive me."

Seeing that Lin Jue's lips turned white, and his forehead was sweating profusely when he moved, Jia Zheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief knowing that he was not pretending to be ill.During this period of time, he was coaxed so carelessly by Lin Jue that he actually taught Lin Jue many private things. Now he was afraid that Lin Jue would deliberately pretend to be sick and prepare to have trouble with him, so he suddenly became alert, so he hurried over to visit.Visitation is false, but temptation is true.

Lin Jue was really unwell, but not to the point where he couldn't get up. It happened that he also wanted to scare Jia Zheng, so he took this opportunity to pretend to be sick.Jia Zheng's temptations failed, but he was found out clearly, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Lin Jue's lips were powdered, that's why she looked pale, but her back was really hurting, and she stretched a certain secret place with a slight movement, and it was normal to sweat a little.But Jia Zheng had a ghost in his heart, so he didn't dare to take a closer look.

After Jia Zheng left, Li Yibai turned around and came in from behind. Seeing that the powder on Lin Jue's lips was an eyesore, he wiped it off with a handkerchief, then gently put Lin Jue down, and rubbed it for him with moderate strength. waist.

Lin Jue gave this man a hard look, "It's all up to you, look at your anxious look, no matter what, it will be your turn to be below next time, otherwise you will never touch me again."

Li Yibai was so full that Lin Jue couldn't move for a while, so he responded in a good voice, and he responded whatever Lin Jue said.

Li Yibai is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, and he is in control of all the major and minor matters of the Ministry of Industry. He didn't deal with it because it was not time to deal with it. Now that his family has been wronged, he intends to help Lin Jue out. "Speaking of which, Jia Zheng is really careless. You call him uncle, but he still wants to deceive you, which shows his character."

Li Yibai's hands worked hard, and Lin Jue hissed in pain, complaining: "You think this is kneading dough, but be careful, I will lie on the bed for the rest of my life, so that you can't eat without seeing it."

Li Yibai chuckled and continued to work hard, but after all, he was paying attention to his proportions, and he would not really "see but not eat".

"Don't you think that Jia Zheng is really a good man and a faithful woman? Don't be fooled by his honesty. If he is really a gentleman of courtesy, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety, he might have been living in Rongxi Hall until now? It's not that there is no eldest daughter-in-law in the family, but The second wife shouldn't be in charge of the second wife's second wife. It is said that Jia's mother is the root of the family's troubles. She is just a housewife, but what does she know? Naturally, which son and daughter-in-law are caring and caring, and The second room is indeed more promising than the first room, and she prefers it. But could this be the reason why Jia Zheng suppressed the first room? I really don't know what it means."

Li Yibai also knew about this, but after hearing what Lin Jue said, he had no choice but to agree, and said, "Sure enough, I said that Jia Zheng looks loyal, but looking at those eyes, it's not a good idea." bird."

Lin Jue smiled, and her tone became lighter, "Forget it, now it seems that you can come again."

Li Yibai also smiled, gradually slowed down his strength, and stopped talking. After pressing for a while, he heard the sound of gentle breathing, then withdrew his hand, covered Lin Jue with a thin blanket lightly, and went to the room connected to the bedroom. The study handles official business.

Now that Daiyu is not at home, Li Yibai's wives, concubines and children in the courtyard of his own mansion are noisy and chattering every day, and they are too lazy to go back. Now they are directly settling down in the Lin's house, and take the unfinished business affairs directly back to the Lin's house deal with.

Especially in the past two days when Lin Jue was sick, he didn't like to stay in the yamen any more. Every morning, he went to the Ministry of Industry to show his face, and then went straight back to Lin's house.Lin Jue told him twice, but when he didn't listen, he let him go.

Although the prince's family is valued by the emperor now, and the emperor also intends to support the prince to participate in politics, no one can say that the emperor will change his temper one day.For those who support the prince, it is most inappropriate to show up at this time, just be obedient and obedient.

The same is true for Li Yibai, who works on weekdays and does not seek meritorious deeds, but entrusts others to do all the errands that show his face.On the contrary, the sixth prince, who was reprimanded by Emperor Hongzheng before, was silent for a long time, but now he is jumping up and down again, he really doesn't know how he died.

However, after being reminded by Lin Jue, the people from the prince's family also discovered that apart from the prince's family and the sixth prince's family, there was an undercurrent in Beijing. It's just that it's hard to say how wide and deep this undercurrent is. It is better to make a secret investigation before daring to draw a conclusion.

Li Yibai faintly felt that this undercurrent was either related to Prince Zhongshun, or it was inextricably related to his fourth brother An Ning, who loved writing and ink.
