[Red House] But for the sake of the king

On the official road to the north of Jinling, a carriage covered with blue and black curtains was hurrying towards the capital.The person sitting inside was none other than Xue Shao, the head of the Xue family, one of the four great families in Jinling.It stands to reason that with the Xue family's family background, this trip, let alone the head of the family, even an ordinary shopkeeper would not be so light and easy.But this trip to Beijing is very confidential, so it is natural to keep it as low-key as possible.

Here, Lin Ruhai has had some thoughts since that day.After tossing about so many things in the last life, he was assassinated in the end, and the Lin family lost their incense because of this, and there was no successor.When he lived a new life, he didn't have any lofty ambitions, and he never thought about relying on the advantages of the prophet to make great achievements. He just wanted to keep his family safe for the rest of his life.Of course, he didn't have the freedom to leave everything behind and take his family back to Gusu.That being the case, he must make some contributions, not for himself, just to make the Lin family a stable enough support for his daughter.

Furthermore, he originally thought that the way of heaven was irreversible, he could live a new life, and the changes were not limited to one or two small things.He can not only entrust Daiyu to his mother's upbringing, but also prevent the emperor's actions against the Zhen family, so, can he also leave a descendant for the Lin family?It is said that there are three types of unfilial piety, and having no offspring is the biggest. In his previous life, he said he looked away, but he just felt that he was destined to have no heirs.But he also had a son before, if he had another son this time, would he still be unable to protect him?

Therefore, after the imperial physician announced that Jia Min had recovered, Lin Ruhai immediately gave up the idea of ​​continuing to live in the study and moved back to the main courtyard.The three generations of the Lin family can still retain their reputation. Could it be that Lin Ruhai ruined the accumulation of these generations?No, he can't.Once the great shock of rebirth and the joy of seeing her mother and daughter were gone, Lin Ruhai's youthful ambition was stimulated again.

When Jia Min saw that Lin Ruhai had moved back and had a little more affection than before, he thought it was because he was grateful for his hard work in giving birth to his daughter, so he changed his opinion of her quite a bit.I feel grateful to my mother that what she said is reasonable, women still have to rely on their heirs to gain a firm foothold in the backyard, and at the same time, they pay great attention to Lin Ruhai's thoughtful service inside and out.So what if the daughter is taken away by her mother-in-law, so what if the housekeeper is gone, anyway, take advantage of such free time, grab the husband and have a son.

In this way, Tang was also satisfied, and the matter of finding an aunt for his son was put on hold.The three in the backyard have never seen any movement for so many years, and she can guess the reason without going into details.Find a few more, maybe it's just a display, it's better to let Jia Min go.Furthermore, this son-in-law is better than the son-in-law by no means.Although she didn't want to see Jia Min, she had to take care of the face of the Lin family.

The Supreme Emperor has not lived in the imperial city since he took the Zen throne, but spent his days in a royal garden north of the capital.Even King Zhongshun would not go there easily, for fear of disturbing the cultivation of the Supreme Emperor, let alone those princes and ministers.Only this day, when the sky was about to get dark, an inconspicuous sedan chair stopped at the small gate of the imperial garden, and a person wrapped in a black cloak all over his body got down.The man took something out of his arms and put it in.

A small yellow door seemed to be waiting for that person, so he rushed to meet him and led him in with a lantern.The two were silent all the way, only the sound of rustling footsteps and cloth rubbing.This imperial garden is very large, and it was already dark through the small gate and walked all the way to the main hall.

The little yellow gate stopped outside the main hall, and the inside was not a place he could go.At the side door, Wei Zhong, the personal eunuch of the Supreme Emperor, was already waiting.He also leads the way without saying a word.

The man wrapped in the cloak didn't take off the cloak until he was outside the door.With the help of the weak candlelight, half of the face could be seen clearly, it was actually Xue Shao who hurried to Beijing.

Entering the door, Xue Shao bowed on his knees and sang, "Slave Xue Shao, please greet the master."

This Xue Shao, as expected of a businessman, is used to trying to figure out people's hearts.It was a helpless move for the Supreme Emperor to take the throne, and he was still very nostalgic for the throne.If he is called the Supreme Emperor again at this moment, isn't it just to remind him of the old man all the time.Xue's family is the successor of Ziwei's family, and now they receive money from the family, and are loyal to the Supreme Emperor, so they can be regarded as the Supreme Emperor's retainers.Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for him to call himself a slave.

The Taishang Emperor is near the age of hearing, his temples are frosty white, but his voice is still loud, "Get up. Why are you begging for an audience in such a hurry?"

Xue Shao got up and stood upright, and replied, "I heard some rumors in Jinling, and it seemed a little bad, so I came here to report. Also, I met an old friend in Jinling, and I don't know how to deal with it, so I ask the master to decide. "

Not long after, Xue Shaofu came out again, wrapped himself in a cloak, and went outside.

The autumn rain filled the sky and the earth in an instant, bringing a burst of coolness.Lin Ruhai was still dressed in a plain brocade robe, but she put on an extra mandarin jacket outside. Standing in front of the small door, she knocked on the door knocker three times.

Because he decided to revive the Lin family's business and report to God, Lin Ruhai took the initiative to go to other courtyards twice.When he went for the third time, the man was already waiting there.For them, this is something they know very well.Jun Qi is now at the time of employing people, wishing to get a few more ambitious people and ministers.Besides, Lin Ruhai is different from him after all.

If you can't live together in this life, always think about looking at the world hand in hand.

Today, it was Jun Qi who ordered someone to invite him, saying that he had something important to discuss.It just happened that he got stuck in some trivial matters in the palace, so Lin Ruhai had to wait for a long time.It wasn't until it was almost night that Jun Qi arrived, covered in water vapor.

Lin Ruhai saw that he wiped it casually with a handkerchief twice, fearing that the autumn rain would be too cold and the evil spirits would enter his body, so he turned around and ordered the dumb slave standing outside the door to scoop up hot water and fetch a clean robe.

Jun Qi enjoyed it very much, so he didn't say much, he wiped his face with hot water with a smile, and put on a new robe, feeling much better immediately.When everything was ready, the dumb slave went out to guard again, leaving only Lin Ruhai and Jun Qi indoors.

Jun Qi took out a page and handed it over, "Last night, you should read the news first. I wanted to come over earlier, but you also know that you can't hide from trivial matters. Dinner is ready now." No?"

Lin Ruhai glanced ten lines at a glance, and read the short news in twos or twos.When they came to this other courtyard, they continued to call each other brothers as they had before, and they were a lot more casual.He didn't stay idle, and replied, "This time has been used long ago. The Xue family is the richest man in Jinling. On the surface, they receive money from the inner government to purchase official needs, and they also run many shops all over the country secretly. Except Zhen family, the Xue family is also the main source of their money. It’s just that there is no major event recently, and it’s not yet the end of the year, so why did he come to Beijing so secretly?”

Jun Qidao, "You're right, but I can't put too many people there, and I can't get any useful information. Another thing is that Xue Shao built a foreign house when the spring started, and the people who lived there It was a mother and daughter. But the woman died not long after, leaving only an eleven or twelve-year-old daughter. After he left for a few days, another servant of the Xue family brought the girl to Beijing."

Lin Ruhai looked at Jun Qi suddenly, "Brother An Qing must have found something."

Jun Qi laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Ruhai, you guessed well. But can you guess the identity of this girl accurately?"

Lin Ruhai thought for a while, then thought of it.At this age, Xue Shao can spend so much time and energy, besides Prince Yuan Yizhong's blood and blood, who became the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Ningguo Mansion in his previous life, who else can be.

"What are your plans?"

Jun Qi's face was half hidden in the dark, with an unpredictable expression, and he said after a while, "It's my niece after all, since I couldn't keep him back then, now I have to keep his daughter anyway."

Lin Ruhai knew that the relationship between that one and this one was average on the surface, but in private, there was a sense of brotherly affection.Especially what happened in the past two years made Jun Qi feel a little guilty, so he was more tolerant.However, he himself knows these things, but others don't.I still remember that before his death, that person was already a little bit bad, and he must not be spared in the end.

"Even so, but now that she is in the Xue family's hands, what do they intend to do, can you predict?"

Holding the teacup, Jun Qi stared at the dancing fireworks, and said, "At any rate, she is also his own granddaughter, and also the last bit of flesh and blood of my elder brother. Besides, a girl, can she still find her way out of the sky?"

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai stopped talking.He couldn't tell what happened in his previous life, and told him that this de facto princess married into the Jia family in the end, and he might die without a problem.It's just that I have a plan in my heart, and I will think about it when I go back.

The rain outside had stopped, only some drops of water dripped intermittently from the banana leaves outside the window, and fell on the bluestone board, splashing small splashes.

It was late at night, Jun Qi persuaded Lin Ruhai to stay overnight in another courtyard, anyway, the next day would be for Muxiu, and he would not have to go to court.But if Lin Ruhai refused again, Jun Qi had no choice but to send someone to send him back.He also has to rush back tonight, it's already too late for him to be out for so long.But when he thought that there was someone waiting for him here, he couldn't help but feel happy.If Concubine Shu hadn't used the emperor to trip him up, how could Ru Hai have been made to wait so long.

Sitting in the carriage, the sound of the wheels turning seemed unusually abrupt on the empty streets at night, crushing on Lin Ruhai's heart.How could he fail to see that during this period of time, Jun Qi has returned to his former care for him, and is more cautious than before.Even though he didn't want to admit it, he felt deeply disdainful at the fact that he took advantage of his previous brotherhood and commoner acquaintance.But so what, since he has made a decision, he will not back down easily.What he is now carrying is the rise and fall of the entire Lin family, and those pedantic principles that he once adhered to have also been worn away in the officialdom in his previous life.

The author has something to say: Yaoyao won’t explain about the beard anymore. It’s because she’s a bit paranoid, so she has always had a pimple, and it will have a little impact on the future, so she found a reason for it reason.And although it is based on the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is still empty in general, so please ignore it.
