The Concubine of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

In a blink of an eye, it was Xie Linlang, who was the child of Daiyu and Xie Jinxuan, and was named Linlang by Xie Jinxuan. On the day of the full moon, this time was different from that of Xisan. Instead, he only invited his own relatives, and instead invited a wide range of guests. A long history came in person and brought the prince He Yi.

Because of this wind direction, all the dignified families in Beijing have arrived, even if they didn't show up in person, they sent their family members to send congratulatory gifts.These are not based on Xie Jinxuan's face. After all, he is unknown, and only bears the title of the third prince of the palace. He is not the eldest son, and he is not an official in the court.

All of the high-ranking families in Beijing have a pair of eyes of wealth and wealth. I heard that the king of Xining begged for the bones. His Majesty the emperor not only refused to allow it, but even rewarded the Xie family generously to keep the king of Xining.It seems that the favor of the Xining Palace is not fading, and the emperor doesn't suspect him just because he leads troops abroad, so naturally all parties want to make friends.

It just so happened that the eldest son of the third son of the Xie family was having a banquet on the full moon, which gave these people the opportunity to come to show their kindness one after another.

The Xie Lin family are relatives by marriage, so Lin Jue, as her natal brother, naturally couldn't be absent.Because of his presence, the heads of the various departments of the Ministry of Industry all sent congratulatory gifts, and Lin Jue had to help Xie Jinxuan entertain the guests.After all, when it comes to the courtiers in the court, Lin Jue is more familiar with them.

Now Nian An has grown up, even though he is only over ten years old, he is considered an adult, Lin Jue wanted to make him more knowledgeable, so he brought him with him.Lin Yifei also came to see his little brother, so Lin Jue brought him to Xie's house, and placed him directly in the backyard with Nanny Fang to watch.Daiyu also needs to receive her family members, so she really can't separate her body.

After a day of turmoil and noise, it was not until evening that the Xie family regained its tranquility, and Lin Jue took the time to talk to Daiyu.Standing beside little Xie Linlang, Lin Jue said, "This child is much more energetic than when he was born."

Mother Fang smiled and said: "Children grow up fast, almost changing their appearance every day. The master will know when he thinks about our Yi'er."

Lin Jue pinched Lin Yi's fleshy little face, "That's true."

Lin Yi pouted his mouth from being pinched, and followed his father to look at his younger brother in the cradle. The younger brother frowned, red and limp, not fun at all.

"I heard that although His Majesty did not agree to Xie Wangye's official appointment, he agreed to transfer him back to the capital. After all, he is old and the northwest is cold all the year round, but the climate in central Beijing is more comfortable. Your Majesty means that the prince will still go after returning to Beijing." He is serving in the Ministry of War, but he is just taking a spare position, and when the court needs it, he still needs to wear armor to go into battle." This is the gossip that Li Yibai got from him, "If this is done correctly, Prince Xie will be able to return to Beijing within July. gone."

Xie Jinxuan and Daiyu were delighted to hear that, and Lin Jue said again: "I tell you, you should be prepared, in case there is a decree from the Heavenly Family, you should prepare in advance."

Although Xie Jinxuan was older than Lin Jue, Lin Jue was the elder brother and was an official in the court, so he had the air of an elder brother.However, both Li Yibai and Daiyu listened to him, and they showed him more and more.

After talking for a while, Lin Jue wanted to take Nian'an and Lin Yi back. Li Yibai hurriedly said, "It's getting late today, and my brother-in-law has been busy all day, so we'll stay at the mansion tonight? They're all my family members. It doesn’t matter that much.”

Lin Jue waved his hand, "No, I have to go to court tomorrow, and the court clothes are at home. Tomorrow morning is too busy, so let's go back tonight." He smiled again, "Can I still be polite to you?"

Having said that, Xie Jinxuan stopped persuading him and went out to order his servants to prepare the carriages and horses.

Lin Jue asked Daiyu a few more words, and left after hearing the servants report that the chariots and horses were ready.

In the blink of an eye, six months passed, and an envoy from Qianxiang submitted his credentials, intending to come to Shangguo to worship.Since the embassy was collapsed by heavy snow last year and has not been repaired, the emperor urged the Ministry of Industry to rebuild the embassy.Lin Jue is the head of the Ministry of Industry, in charge of battalion repairs, so this task fell to him.

After being so busy for more than two months, even the king of Xining County came back from the northwest, and he never went to visit him.In September, before the arrival of the envoy, the embassy will be completed.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry went to the palace to renew the decree, but Emperor Hongzheng called Lin Jue into the palace, "The fortifications are well done, and you have worked hard for a long time. I will grant you three days off, so you can go home and rest."

After working hard for more than two months, he only got three days of vacation. His Majesty the Emperor really knows how to settle accounts.Although he secretly complained about Emperor Hongzheng's stinginess in his heart, he didn't dare to show it, thank you, at least there are still ten days off, so it's not too bad.

After Lin Jue thanked her for leaving, Emperor Hongzheng said to Qu Shangshu who had been standing aside with his head bowed: "How does Qu Qing look at this child?"

Qu Shangshu still looked down with his head down, and said slowly: "Lin Ruhai's seed is not far behind."

"Qu Qing's words are wrong. There are many sons in the world who dislike their fathers. How can Lin Ruhai's son be so good?"

Qu Shangshu raised his head slightly, and said with a smile: "This kid is not a person who can suffer. His Majesty sent him to the old minister to see how he would deal with Jia Cunzhou. Since His Majesty wanted to test him, why did he still help him?" Helping Lin Jue, let him take advantage of it for nothing."

Emperor Hongzheng was choked up by the words, can he talk about being coaxed by his own son with three or five words?

"From Qu Qing's point of view, it seems that you don't like Lin Jue?"

Qu Shangshu smiled and said: "Where did this come from? How can I say that the boy from the Lin family is also related to the minister. How could the minister dislike him?"

Emperor Hongzheng liked Qu Shangshu's enthusiasm for saying anything. Generally, the ministers were related to relatives, and they had to say righteously that they would handle it impartially, and portray themselves like a sage without favoritism.It should be known that saints are not selfish. Emperor Hongzheng valued family affection, so he naturally liked Qu Shangshu who put everything on the surface.

"Since Qu Qing does not shy away from relatives, I happen to have an errand here, why don't I assign it to Lin Qing."

Qu Shangshu chuckled, "It's clear that His Majesty intends to reuse Lin Jue, so how can he push it to the minister again?"

Emperor Hongzheng reached out and tapped Qu Shangshu, "You old bastard, since you know what I want, why do you insist on breaking it?" After saying that, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Here the monarch and his ministers get along well, while Lin Jue went out of the palace gate and went back to the Ministry of Industry first.Even though Qu Shangshu was there, there was no need for him to hand over the request for rest, but Li Yibai was also in the Ministry of Industry, so even if he returned home first, he needed someone to tell him.

Because Lin Jue returned to the palace, it was inevitable that some people from below would come to inquire about the Holy Will, so Lin Jue called them all over, and encouraged everyone on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, and then left contentedly one by one.

Jia Zheng stayed at the end, and when everyone had left, Jia Zhengfang said: "I have already finished what my nephew said earlier, and Qi An will report it in three days."

Speaking of Qi An and Yingchun's big matchmaker, he still did it himself, but Qi An was the son-in-law of the big house, and after he became a matchmaker, he was still doing it again, and had no intention of helping each other.I don't know what kind of shit luck this Qi An had, and he fell into Lin Jue's eyes. After a short time, he was transferred from a small clerk in Jingzhao Yin's yamen to the Ministry of Industry.Although he is still a rankless subordinate, but with the backing of Lin Jue in the Ministry of Industry, it is not difficult to go further. Isn't it much better than Zhaoyin in Jingzhao?

Every time at this time, Jia Zheng would lament that his own Baoyu would not come, otherwise he would get Lin Jue's favor, so why worry about not having a bright future.

Now Jia Zheng has seen through Jia Baoyu, knowing that he is not the kind of material for studying, and he indulges in inner pleasures.He did discipline him twice, but the woman in the inner house was short-sighted, she cried and wiped her tears every time, but he was the only one who became a villain, and as time passed, she also became discouraged.

Jia Zheng also thought about it, if he had time to discipline Baoyu, it would be better to check Jia Huan and Jia Lan's homework more.At any rate, these two still know how to make progress, and they have a bit of winking in their lives.They are all the children of the Jia family, so Jia Huan and Jia Lan knew that they would spend more time with Lin Jue, and with Lin Jue's guidance, the two of them made a lot of progress in their writing.On the other hand, Baoyu is pampered by a family of children and coaxed by a house of goblins. How can it be better?

Hey, after all, I sighed that Baoyu didn't make progress. Anyway, I still have some age. I can see Jia Huan and Jia Lan's future, so I don't feel ashamed of my ancestors.

Lin Jue didn't have the time to understand Jia Zheng's sour thoughts. Now that His Majesty has summoned His Majesty to see him and gave him another three-day vacation, it seems that he has important things to do, but he doesn't know. What is it.You can't figure it out yourself, so you have to study it with Li Yibai at night.

After explaining a few things about Jia Zheng, Lin Jue said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard these days. I will pay for our Ministry of Industry to go down and have a fresh meal, so I will ask the three principals to lead the big guys there. You and I are here, I'm afraid they will feel uncomfortable instead."

Jia Zheng said with a smile: "It's clear that you paid for it, but it made them happy. My nephew is always generous, but it's better to come forward for such a thing."

This is very true, Lin Jue nodded secretly, he is not afraid of Jia Zheng's corruption and power, as long as he really does things, he will always be better than those who wait for the corpse to eat a vegetarian meal.Besides, under his own hands, it was impossible for Jia Zheng to imagine how he was before.Thinking about it, Jia Zheng also understood, and now he understands the winks more and more.

"Uncle, let's go home first. From tomorrow, I will not be here for three days. I'm afraid I will have to trouble Uncle."

"This is my duty. It is too polite for my nephew to say that." After Jia Zheng finished speaking, he began to talk about other things, "The old lady often talks about her nephew and niece at home. It’s not as neat as in previous years, and it’s not easy to go out. So I always think about inviting my nephew and niece to take the two little great-grandchildren to stay at home, and I don’t know if the niece and niece are free?"

Lin Jue said with a smile: "I've been busy these days, but it's been a long time since I went to pay my respects to the old lady. Lin Lang from Daiyu's family was ill a few days ago, so I didn't bother to go there. I just happen to be free these few days , go back and ask Daiyu, if the child is well, then take the child to pay respects to the ancestors."

This is not an excuse, Mother Jia is Daiyu's grandmother after all, and the relationship between the two is very deep.However, Lin Jue always remembered how Mrs. Wang harmed Daiyu back then. She was afraid that Daiyu would take the child with her and eat something unclean if she didn't notice, so she asked Daiyu not to go to Jia's house alone.Now that he has had a three-day rest and bath, it's cheaper to take one day to accompany Daiyu to pay his respects.

After Jia Zheng heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Brother Lang, you can find a doctor to see it. If you need it, your nephew can take my post and invite Dr. Zhang from the imperial hospital. He is very familiar with our family. "

Lin Jue thanked Jia Zheng for his kindness, "Uncle forgot, Daiyu's husband is a doctor, and I have a brother who works in the imperial hospital, so I don't need to bother uncle, but my uncle's kind nephew is appreciated." .”

Jia Zheng was a little embarrassing for a while, he only wanted to sell Lin Jue well, but he forgot that Daiyu's husband was a doctor who once treated Tanchun.

"I know that uncle's intentions are good, but the imperial physician is no better than others after all. He originally worked for the concubines in the palace. Although our family has made great achievements for many generations, it is not easy to send invitations often. If His Majesty finds out, it is inevitable that you will feel dissatisfied. Uncle I'm not an outsider, my nephew's words are a bit harsh, I hope my uncle will forgive me."

Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "This is my nephew pointing to my uncle. How can an uncle be that kind of person who doesn't know what to do?"

Lin Jue smiled and stopped talking.
