After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Taiyuan Mansion is the seat of Shanxi Province. Therefore, in addition to the mansion of Lin Ruhai, the prefect of Taiyuan, the mansion of Shanxi Buzhengshi, the highest chief executive of Shanxi Province, is also here.

Such an official is the worst thing to do.

He said he was the head of the Taiyuan Mansion, but he happened to have his immediate superiors by his side. Not only could his prefect's mansion not be built in the very center of Taiyuan County, but he also had to worry about Cao Yue, the governor of Shanxi Province, Mr. Cao .

"Master hasn't had lunch yet?"

It was the end of the time, after Jia Min asked his servants several times, he finally couldn't bear it and went outside Lin Ruhai's study in person, and asked Xu Gan, the servant guarding the door.

Xu Gan is the grandson of Xu Song, the big housekeeper. Lin Ruhai appreciates him because he is clever, strict-spoken, and cautious, and he promotes him to be his personal servant.

"Returning to the wife, the master has not been out since he entered the study in the morning." Xu Qian saw the expression of the savior, "The food delivered has been hot three times, and the younger ones can't persuade the master. "

Jia Minxiu frowned slightly, and nodded: "I see. You go to the kitchen and prepare some easy-to-digest food. I'll go in and have a look."

"Hey, let's go, little one!" Xu Qian answered loudly, opened the door for Jia Min graciously, and then went to the kitchen in a hurry.

Jia Min turned around and signaled the big maids Chun Shi and Huai Su to wait outside, walked around the screen alone, and walked lightly to Lin Ruhai.

"Master." Jia Min called softly.

"Huh?" Lin Ruhai raised his head from the document with difficulty, and when he saw his wife, he subconsciously showed a gentle smile, "Oh, it's Min'er. Miner is looking for me, what's the matter?"

Jia Min gave him an angry look, and complained: "I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?"

"What's Min'er talking about?" Lin Ruhai smiled coquettishly, "You and my husband and wife, how can we see each other?"

Jia Min couldn't hold back her face, she gave a "puchi" smile, and gave him a look with full eyes, and her tone was a little coquettish: "You are so grown up, and you are actually worrying. Look, what is this all about?" It's time, and you still used up your lunch, how can your body handle it?"

Although she is over 30 years old, she also has a mature charm.But because of the smooth life, the tenderness of a girl has not faded away.

These two styles are perfectly intertwined in her body, forming a unique charm.

Lin Ruhai was wronged at first, but after being glanced at by her like this again, she couldn't say any excuses, and just kept admitting her mistake.

Jia Min was only worried about his health, and didn't really annoy him. Seeing that he had given in, she restrained her expression and said softly, "I know, you've been very busy these days, but no matter how busy you are, you still have to worry about it." Don't you care about your health? You're such a waste of sleep and food, I'm not the only one who is worried, Yinger also asks about it three times a day!"

"It's my fault." Lin Ruhai admitted his mistake again, and sighed, "It's just that the saint sent King Zhongjing as an imperial envoy to inspect Shanxi, and Taiyuan Mansion is the seat of Shanxi. There was a mistake when Wang wanted to check it."

King Zhongjing's name is well-known even by housewives like Jia Min.

When he heard that he was coming, Jia Min couldn't help raising her heart: "Our Taiyuan is very stable under the master's management, why did you recruit this person?"

As for the "inspection" or something, when he heard that this person was coming, Jia Min didn't believe it at all.

Even if it is a real inspection, as long as it is the place where King Zhongjing passes by, there will be troubles!

This prince is a big killer of accident bodies. In the past two years, many unjust, false and wrong cases have been uncovered everywhere.

Especially now that his reputation has spread widely, the common people regard him as the reincarnation of Duke Bao, and many people who have grievances just wait for King Zhongjing to go on business abroad, and block the way to file a complaint.

Just two months ago, there was another person who ran all the way from the Taiyuan mansion on the other side of Jiaozhi to the capital, and instead of suing the imperial court, he stopped Zhongjing Wang's sedan chair.

And the sage probably intends to promote such a character, firstly, he can establish his image as a wise king, and secondly, the country he took over from the old sage has begun to rot, and the sage has been determined to clean it up.

When King Zhongjing was the prince, he was a saint's diehard loyalist, but at that time he was a little shy because of the old saint.

Now, the sage is in charge of his own affairs, and King Zhongjing has finally let go of his hands and feet, bringing his jealous character to the extreme.

Anyway, the sage will take care of everything for him, and there is no one in the court that he needs to please, so he simply let go of his hands and feet, and he lives happily!

Jia Min felt that Lin Ruhai was so nervous because he didn't rub the sand in his eyes.But Lin Ruhai didn't dare to tell her what was really on her mind, lest she would be worried.

——Lin Ruhai had already received Jia Jing's letter, and knew that King Zhong Jing came to Shanxi this time for the rampant white goose slaughter case.

Moreover, this incident also involved Lin Ruhai's immediate boss, Cao Yue, the chief envoy of Shanxi Province.

It is estimated that Cao Yue knew about this matter himself, and it is impossible that he did not have a way to deal with it.

People like Lin Ruhai who are begging for life under Cao Yue's hands, if they don't manage well, they are likely to be dragged into trouble by Cao Yue.

At this time, the newly prepared food from the kitchen arrived, and Lin Ruhai suppressed his worries. Under Jia Min's supervision, he ate a bowl of red corn rice, drank a bowl of soup, and used some of the food.

Jia Min reckoned that she was [-]% full, so she gave up.

"Min'er, let's go back first. I'll go back to my room after reading this file."

Although Jia Min was worried about his health, she also knew that his business was always the top priority, so she didn't dare to disturb him anymore, so she went back with her maid.

In the evening, the chief housekeeper Xu Song came over with an invitation card: "Master, this is from Mr. Cao, the chief envoy. Please, master, come to Baiyunjian for a banquet tomorrow night."

Lin Ruhai secretly said: Here we come!

For a moment, he actually had the idea that "the second shoe has finally landed".

"Take the reply, I wrote it myself, and you send it back. Just say, I will definitely go to the appointment tomorrow."

Lin Ruhai wrote a reply and asked Xu Song to send it back in person. Then he packed up the table and went back to the main room.

At this moment, Lin Ying had already finished class, and was waiting for him to come back for dinner with Jia Min.

The three members of the family met each other, and Lin Ruhai estimated Lin Ying's progress, and after quizzing him, Jia Min called Chuan Shan.

After Lin Ruhai arrived in Taiyuan, he hired a Juren surnamed Zeng to enlighten Lin Ying. Lin Ying also had two classmates, the children of two scribes, Su and Wen, who worked with Lin Ruhai when he was in the Ministry of Rites. One is seven years old, named Su Cheng; the other is eight years old, named Wenxuan.

Su Cheng and Wen Xuan were also literate before, and had studied for a few days, but the two scribes had no connections, they just sent them to an old scholar.

The old scholar took the exam all his life but failed to pass the exam, so the level of teaching can be imagined.Moreover, he is still a private school owner, and there are twenty or thirty students under his school, how can he manage them one by one?

Su Cheng and Wenxuan are not the kind of geniuses who can learn by themselves. After studying for a year and a half, they haven't learned anything.

Now, Lin Ruhai has invited someone to come back, and he is willing to let these two boys learn together.Based on this alone, it is enough for the Su scribes and the clerks to give up on him.

At noon of the second day, Lin Ruhai finished sorting out all the files, and was about to ask Xiaotian for a while, when the head housekeeper Xu Song came to the study to look for him with a serious face: "Master, here is a distinguished guest."

"Huh?" Lin Ruhai was startled, "Who is it?" Counting the days, King Zhongjing and his party will arrive in four or five days.

Xu Song said: "It's the respected master of the Jia family."

"Brother Jing? Please!"

Lin Ruhai hurriedly changed his clothes for meeting guests, and went to the front hall to meet Jia Jing.

Jia Jing's face was full of wind and frost, but his eyes were radiant. When he saw Lin Ruhai, he cupped his hands and smiled, "Brother Lin, are you here all right?"

Lin Ruhai frowned slightly: "Brother Jing, why did you come early? But what happened?"

Jia Jing smiled and said: "I'm alone, so I'll fight for the prince first. Come on, brother-in-law, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Xun, the most capable staff member of the prince's family."

He pointed to a thin old man holding a cigarette pot beside him and said.

Lin Ruhai hurriedly saluted: "Mr. Xun."

"Xun is just a white man, so he can't be a gentleman's gift." Mr. Xun hurriedly turned away, and returned the gift to Lin Ruhai, "I have met Mr. Lin."

——This is a very cautious person who knows how to protect himself wisely.

This was Lin Ruhai's first impression of Mr. Xun.

But he didn't know that if the third prince who died in the rebellion was present at this time, his eyes would be tearing apart, and he would not be able to understand the hatred of rushing forward to tear this Mr. Xun into pieces.

In the beginning, the reason why the third prince chose to force the palace was because Mr. Xun introduced him step by step.

The poor third prince only felt that he was not careful in his actions until he died, and that Mr. Xun's good plan was wasted in vain.He didn't know that Mr. Xun had already been bribed by the prince.

After the crown prince ascended the throne, he was supposed to give Mr. Xun an official.

But Mr. Xun knew in his heart that it would be very difficult for someone like him who once betrayed the old master to be reused.So I declined, saying that I am used to being behind the scenes, and it is not suitable for me to stand in front of the stage.

Perhaps it was because he knew enough about current affairs, and by chance, he actually got the favor of King Zhong Jing, and under King Zhong Jing's door, he returned to his old profession.

His son also became a disciple of King Zhongjing. After two years of experience, he was arranged by the prince to pass the Jinshi examination, and now he is also a county magistrate.

Lin Ruhai didn't know much about these pasts, but it didn't prevent him from feeling that Mr. Xun was a friend and treated him very politely.

"Brother Jing, Mr. Xun," Lin Ruhai said, "I'm going to the Chief Minister Cao's banquet later, I'm afraid I don't have time to entertain you two. I'll ask you to take you to wash up first, and then invite my family Mr. Wen in the middle will accompany you, how about giving the two of you a chance first?"

Just as Jia Jing was about to respond, Mr. Xun's eyes lit up and he suddenly said, "I wonder if Mr. Lin will bring his staff to accompany him?"
