The Concubine of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

Lin Jue was sick for three days and passed all the affairs of the Ministry of Industry to Jia Zheng. It turned out that he was fine.But at this time, Jia Zheng didn't dare to be good at it. After writing everything, he waited for Lin Jue to come back to make a decision, and then distributed it to the next one.

Three days later, Lin Jue went to the Yamen, and sure enough, the files were full of old and small notes. Jia Zheng's attitude was the same as before. Pushed it to me?"

Jia Zheng said with a smile: "These are the things that the head of the Ministry of Industry should deal with. It's just that my nephew just came and didn't understand it, so I took over. Now that my nephew has figured out these matters, I have retired. Uncle is also getting old, so it's time to enjoy leisure."

Lin Jue said with a smile: "It's hard for me to refuse my uncle's words. Even so, uncle can't be lazy. I still have a lot of things I don't understand, and I still have to rely on my uncle for guidance."

Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "Although we are relatives, there are differences between the top and the bottom. If you say something and don't point it out, if there is anything your nephew doesn't understand, just bring it up and I will answer it for your nephew."

Lin Jue cupped his hands and said, "In this way, there will be Uncle Lao."

In this way, the Ministry of Industry is in the hands of Lin Jue.

At night, Lin Jue couldn't help but asked Li Yibai curiously, "Why did you tell the emperor that he summoned me at the court meeting by such a coincidence, and said so many things to me? It's not clear. Tell others that the emperor is backing me up." Well. Then Jia Zheng was really obedient, seeing that the wind direction was wrong, he immediately handed over the power, but I didn't even catch him."

Li Yibai smiled and said: "If you really want to catch him, how can you just let it go like this. You didn't want to turn against him, I just let others see your backer through the hands of my father." , become that little guy who always wants to trip you up. How about it, don’t you have to thank me for this?”

Lin Jue gave him a blank look, "Don't I have to thank you, you took the thank you gift in advance, didn't I say nothing!"

Li Yibai got cheap and acted like a good boy, "How can I do such a big job just once?"

Lin Jue glanced at him with a half-smile, "Speaking of which, Man'er hasn't come here for a few days, but what's the matter with the princess, why don't you go home and have a look?"

Li Yibai immediately changed his tone, "Hey, what time is it? Why isn't the food ready yet? Are you hungry, why don't you use a piece of hibiscus cake to cushion your stomach first? This Jia Zheng is really ignorant, just handing over power , why bother to hand it over all at once, there should be a buffer. It's all pushed to you, why do you want him as a deputy?"

Lin Jue took a bite of the hibiscus cake with his hand, "Don't blame my cook, I don't know who it is, but I insist on eating roasted pork knuckles. I didn't prepare it in the first place, and I'm going to fix it now, but I have to wait." .”

"Isn't that what you were talking about wanting to eat? Seeing how busy you are, you probably didn't order the chef to prepare it."

Lin Jue paused slightly, he was really busy today, how could he remember the gossip from earlier.

He coughed lightly to cover up his little emotion, and changed the subject uncomfortably, "When will Man'er come back? Yi'er has been talking about it for a few days. You too, since the princess is sick, why would you want a child to attend to her sickness?" The truth is, are the servants of the Hefu all decorations?"

Lin Jue knew very well that the women in the back house depended on their husband's family to gain a foothold in their husband's prestige, so he didn't think too much about it at first. Since the princess sent Li Man over, he had to consider the princess' mood more or less.It's not because he is generous or kind, it's because there is not much conflict of interest between him and the princess, and if the princess deliberately makes friends, he will not insist on disturbing Li Yibai's house.

"When you have nothing to do in the past few days, go back and have a look. The princess is not that ignorant. Presumably she must be really unwell, otherwise she wouldn't ask Man'er to go back." The princess, relying on her status, would not make such excuses A matter of favor.Although Lin Jue has not had close contact with the princess, but looking at Li Man, she can also know how the princess does things on a daily basis.

"Don't worry, I've sent people to go back and have a look. The concubine just accidentally caught the wind and cold, it's nothing serious. Man'er has been with us for a few days, and the concubine also wants to see Man'er, so I'll keep him for a few more days. no need to worry."

The previous topic had been diverted, Lin Jue had already replied indifferently, nodded and said: "That's good. Then you can go back and take a look at it when you have time, the princess is ill, and you, the prince, don't even show your face, which will inevitably provoke people's tongues. "

Li Yibai nodded without hesitation, and snatched the hibiscus cake from Lin Jue's hand, "Use it less, it's time to eat well later."

Lin Jue blushed rarely, and slapped the crumbs off her hands.

After dinner in the evening, Lin Jue and Li Yibai took a walk in the courtyard to digest their food, while Fang Nian'an was teaching Lin Yi how to box.It is said to be boxing, but it is just some ordinary ways to strengthen the body.Nian'an's master Wu was the former instructor of the imperial army invited back by Lin Jue. He was dismissed for committing some crimes, but he has some genuine certificates in his hands.Nian An has been taught by him for more than a year, and now he is very capable. It is more than enough to teach Lin Yi, who is younger than him.

Lin Yi is small, with short arms and legs, but he still looks decent after following suit.This child spoke slowly and had a slow temper, but the way he clenched his small fists was rather majestic.It's just the majesty he tried to show, but in Lin Jue's eyes, that look is really cute.

Seeing his father coming, Lin Yi didn't get distracted, he waited until Nian An said it was all right, and then came to Lin Jue, and saluted the two respectfully.After saluting, Fang hugged Daddy's thigh with a smile, and asked Daddy for a compliment.

Lin Jue did not hesitate to praise his son, so much so that Lin Yi blushed and buried his head in Lin Jue's arms. No matter how much Lin Jue coaxed him, he was too embarrassed to look up.

Fang Nian'an also walked up to the two of them, greeted Li Yibai respectfully, and then smiled and called Lin Jue, "Brother Lin."

Li Yibai still remembers how the Lin family saw Fang Nian'an in the mountains not long after they first arrived in the capital. It was because the spoiled child at that time was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. I want to be happy when I live.Looking at such a half-grown boy who looks like an adult now, it really feels a little out of place.But this "Brother Lin" still has the demeanor of the past.

When a half-grown boy was trying to save face, Li Yibai kept making fun of him for what happened at Nian Ji Temple, so it's no wonder that Nian An didn't like to talk to him.Lin Jue didn't know Nian An's careful thinking, and said with a smile, "Master Ru's boxing skills have already looked a bit like you, are you still learning?"

After being praised, Nian An blushed slightly and replied: "Master Ru said that I'm just getting started, and it's not bad to lay the foundation first. The boxing method is almost taught, and the marksmanship only taught me a set of simple exercises."

Li Yibai interjected: "Why, you intend to let Nian'an take the martial arts?"

Lin Jue nodded, "Nian'an is not good at homework and articles. The Ru Jian you recommended for me is good at military art. Nian'an talked with him a few times, but he is very interested in military art. I don't have anything here. Nanny Fang also meant to let Nian An make up her own mind. Now that she is doing her homework and essays, Master Ru is on the art of war and martial arts side, so she can't let her go. Nian An is still young, and these few years are just laying the foundation. In two more years It won't be too late to see Jinyi."

Li Yibai agrees with this point. Although the imperial court now emphasizes civility over military affairs, it is still under the premise that the surroundings are stable and small countries are afraid.Now the government has long been decaying, there is not one good general in the founding of the country, and the descendants do not make progress.When the Supreme Emperor was in power, he suppressed generals, and the emperor's accession to the throne also focused on weakening the power of military lords, and the deterrence of the four realms was not as good as before.If Nian An is a martial artist, after the new emperor ascends the throne, he will surely have a bright future.

"You have already taken the path of Wenju. If Nian An takes Wuju, your family will have both civil and military skills."

Faced with such teasing, Lin Jue accepted it generously, but Li Yibai couldn't continue teasing.

Lin Jue said to Nian'an: "See, when you meet such a shameless person, you have to be even more shameless than him, otherwise how would you deal with him?"

Nian'an was taught immediately, and it was true, every time only Lin Jue could restrain Li Yibai, but she was always blushed by him.

The three chatted for a while, Lin Jue and Li Yibai watched Nian An dance a simple set of marksmanship, Lin Yi flirted in Lin Jue's arms for a while, and Nian An took Lin Yi down to sleep.Lin Yi is now willing to follow Nian An. In the past when Li Man came to his house, the three of them lived in a small courtyard.When Lin Yi grew up, he didn't need a nanny who was rewarded by the emperor to look after him. There was only one more person's ration left and right, so Lin Jue set up a yard by himself, assigned a few maids to take care of him, and let the old nanny take care of him. Pension.

After seeing off Nian'an and Lin Yi, Lin Jue and Li Yibai wandered slowly towards the main courtyard. Li Yibai said with emotion: "Looking at Nian'an Wuqiang today, it reminds me of the days when I was a child practicing martial arts with Master Ru. At that time, the prince was still young. Empress Yuan personally begged my father and emperor to find Master Ru to teach me. The crown prince also danced like a tiger and danced like a tiger. On the contrary, I was really stuck by the thinking of modern people. I couldn’t control my legs and feet. No matter how I learned it, I couldn’t understand it. Later, the crown prince looked shameful, so he often covered it up for me. Later, he begged the empress Yuan, who spared me from daily practice, and just followed me to the school grounds to punch a few hands. Not to mention, when I saw Nian An dancing the spear today, it really resembled the posture of the prince dancing the spear back then."

Thinking about it this way, Li Yibai thought about it again, and felt more and more similar, and said: "Even the body shape is very similar."

Lin Jue said calmly: "The prince learns from Master Ru, and the marksmanship is basically the same. I guess in the eyes of those of us who don't understand, they are almost the same. Anyway, I see Master Ru dancing the spear and Nian An dancing the spear. If you don’t leave, you really can’t see the doorway inside.”

Li Yibai didn't think too much, nodded and said: "That's true, in fact, I think they are similar, but one is more skilled and the other is immature."

Lin Jue also nodded, and then said: "The last time Xie's family washed three times, I heard Daiyu mention that Xie Wangye intends to resign, and the letter of resignation has been handed in. Is there any news from the emperor?"

"I've never heard of this, but Prince Xie has worked so hard. Although he is old now, his body has always been strong. I am afraid that the father may not agree. What's more, the father and son of the Xie family are all guarding the northwest. If the old prince becomes an official, I don't know if the son can do it." The border can be controlled, and the emperor's side has already started to clean up the family, I am afraid that he will not call Xie Wang back at this time, resulting in a loss of the border."

This is very true, Lin Jue nodded, and did not go into details, and the two settled down without mentioning it.
