[Red House] But for the sake of the king

Chapter 019 Misunderstandings

Before the end of the first month, the mistress of the Lin family had a miscarriage, a concubine passed away due to a sudden illness, and the old lady caught a cold again. All of a sudden, the whole family hardly had any leisure time.Tang didn't intend to deal with Aunt Xin immediately, but she didn't expect her to seek death first.This new year is quite unpleasant, Tang wanted to rejoice.It happened to be Daiyu's first birthday, and it was supposed to be a serious half-year-old banquet, but now it has to be held in a grand way.

Lin Ruhai naturally has no objections, but before that, he still has something to ask Jun Qi.

"No." Jun Qi vetoed Lin Ruhai's proposal, "There is already a candidate for the new inspector censor. You are also aware of the situation over there, so why bother to come forward at this time. How many times has the old man mentioned this to me Now, he must have noticed the small movements in the south."

Lin Ruhai replied, "Because of this, the salt affairs in Huaihe River and Huaihe River cannot be lost. Jiangning Weaving has always belonged to the Zhen family, and now Suzhou Weaving is also theirs. Although the prefects of Suzhou and Hangzhou have changed, they are still weak. If I go, within three years, not to mention returning you a clean Jiangnan, at least double the salt tax in Jiangnan!"

Jun Qi looked at him in surprise, not because he doubted Ru Hai's ability, but because he didn't understand why he had to go to Jiangnan. "Do you know that this position is a hot potato now, if it is true as you said, the salt tax will be doubled, can the old man agree? Ruhai, if you feel that the doctor of Lantai Temple is not doing anything interesting, I will give it to you." Change another one. So many people have sharpened their heads and want to squeeze into the capital, why do you have to go south?"

Lin Ruhai lowered his head, couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, and said in a low voice, "I just want to thank Brother An Qing for his kindness, and I want to do my best for the court."

In fact, Lin Ruhai had thought about this for a long time.Anyway, he always had to sit in this position. In his previous life, because of his previous predecessor, he was in a mess between the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, and even the salt affairs in Lianghuai were in chaos.After he took office, he had to mediate with those officials and salt merchants. After many years of operation, he managed to get some improvement. Unfortunately, he was poisoned and died not long after. After all, he failed to fulfill the promise he made to Junqi before leaving Beijing.

Seeing his appearance, Jun Qi couldn't bear to ask again. After thinking about it, he had heard rumors recently, "You want to leave Beijing in such a hurry, but because of your wife's miscarriage?"

Lin Ruhai was shocked and remained silent.Since that day, Jia Min has been in a trance.The physical loss can be recuperated slowly, but how can this heart disease be cured so easily.The climate in the south is warm and humid, and there are no such unpleasant people and things, so it must be better for Jia Min.Furthermore, he felt deeply ashamed of Jia Min because of this incident.But when I saw Jun Qi every day, the crooked thoughts kept appearing in my heart, and I felt sorry for Jia Min even more.Because of Jun Qi in his previous life, he had always been quite indifferent to Jia Min.Even later, in order to help Jun Qi stabilize the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, he went directly to Yangzhou after Ding You was over, and he never asked Jia Min for his opinion.

Now go to the south early, one is to help Jun Qi take full control of the government as soon as possible; the second is to avoid Jun Qi and completely cut off the delusions in his heart; the third is to really consider for the Lin family and Jia Min, and avoid those gossips. .

Jun Qi put his hands on Lin Ruhai's shoulders, and said against his will, "You don't have to be so discouraged, you are still young, and there will always be children in the future. If it doesn't work, it's okay to pick two adoptives from the collateral line."

Lin Ruhai never thought about adopting.It's just that according to the law of the dynasty, a step-heir must be within five generations, and a child under the age of eight who has no father or mother can inherit the family business.Among his Tang clans, there might be one or two in the fifth server, but there is no suitable one.

Jun Qi said a few more words of comfort, almost saying "I'll pick some good-looking women for you to send to you".However, Lin Ruhai's mind was not on this originally, and being mentioned by him added another thing to his mind, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.So he resigned without a few words and went home.It's also fortunate that he walked quickly, otherwise he wouldn't be pissed off by those words.

Jun Qi is really concerned about this matter.Although he had long had different thoughts about Ru Hai, he also wanted to know him and be with him when he was young.But in this world, it is true that masculinity prevails, but how can anyone really not get married and not have a son because of a man?What's more, their identities are also doomed not to do such earth-shattering things.Now that Ruhai feels sad for his son, Jun Qi no longer wants to see his wife and concubines, but he has to care about his children.Really speaking, the Lin family is also a family of meritorious service. They have been loyal to the emperor and patriotic for several lifetimes. They are really rare pure ministers.If such a family can be continued, it will be the blessing of the court and the king.

Therefore, as soon as Jun Qi returned to the palace, he was passed on to the imperial physician and asked some detailed questions about fertility.Physician Wu originally thought that some noble person was ill, but he didn't expect that it was actually summoned by the emperor.After hearing these questions, I was shocked in my heart, for fear that my head would be gone the next day.The emperor obviously has three princes and two princesses, so why would he ask these questions?Could it be that the dragon's body violated harmony, and is it a hindrance to the intercourse?Physician Wu hurriedly concentrated his energy and didn't dare to think too deeply, so he replied clearly.It wasn't until he left the door that he took a big breath, trying to forget everything he had just heard.

Arranging for Dai Quan to send the things to the Lin Mansion, Jun Qi recruited his loyal followers to go to Gusu to find out if there are any suitable candidates in the collateral lineage of the Lin family, so that Lin Ruhai can adopt him in the future.In case of that, if Ruhai really can't get his own son, at least there is someone else who can make up for it.

At night, Lin Ruhai looked at the huge pile of medicinal herbs and supplements in front of him, dumbfounded, and really didn't know what to say.Dai Quan was still chattering about how the emperor cared about Lord Lin and how precious these medicines were.Lin Ruhai was even flattered inside and outside the words, absolutely not meant to be ridiculed.After all, he was a person who grew up in the palace, his speaking skills are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Lin Ruhai stuffed two banknotes in the past, and sent the person out with a few false responses.At this moment, he didn't need to look in the full-length mirror to know that his face must be red. Fortunately, it was night, and he couldn't see it clearly under the candlelight, or he really lost face.No matter how nice Dai Quan's words are, the medicinal materials are not fake, but anyone who knows a little bit about pharmacology knows that they are for strengthening yang and tonifying kidney.It's nothing more than talking nonsense for a long time now, but it's really the first time Lin Ruhai has encountered such a thing in two lifetimes.

Too lazy to pay attention to the abnormal Jun Qi, Lin Ruhai ordered Lin Sheng to put all the things into the warehouse, and went to Tang's yard by himself.Xu Shi was getting old, and Tang couldn't get better after catching a cold that day.For the first two days, Tang still resisted to ask the imperial physician, and later on he didn't even have the strength to get up.The imperial doctor came to see and said there was nothing serious, but he looked more dangerous because of his age.These days, soups and medicines are served every day, but there is still not much improvement.

Lin Ruhai was particularly worried that her mother in her previous life died during this year.Now that there are so many changes, what he is afraid of is that if he is not careful, something will go wrong with his mother, that is really unfilial and incompetent.

Lin Ruhai greeted respectfully through the screen, "Mother, do you feel better today?"

There were occasional coughs from behind the screen, but it was less than the previous two days, "Ahem, it's better. You don't have to do this. You come to me three times a day. It's just a small cold, why is it so serious. There is These days, it’s more serious to go to Yuer’s place to see more. Cough cough. I don’t have time to take care of it now, and I don’t know if the people below are up to date or if they have wronged Yuer. Your wife should also serve snacks, listen Are you saying that Jia’s mansion sent someone here again today?”

Lin Ruhai replied, "Yu'er's son often goes there too, mother, don't worry, those servants dare not be unsatisfied. The two nuns who came to Jia's mansion today are the old lady's side, just to ask for medical advice and other things. , I asked Shiliu to meet those two nuns, they are from the Jia family anyway."

Tang coughed again, and said, "It should be so. Your mother-in-law loves her daughter too much, and she is always worried, thinking that our Lin family has treated her badly. They will send someone over in three or two days Ask, if outsiders know about it, they think we are really abusing her. Let them ask someone they trust, and if they understand, they will be relieved."

Lin Ruhai comforted her, "Mom, calm down, should I take some medicine now? Chun Yu, bring the medicine quickly, it will lose its effect when it gets cold."

Tang said angrily, "I'm taking care of you, I don't know when those bastards will end."

Chun Yu smiled and brought the order, Xia Lu followed behind holding a jar of candied fruit.This man, once he gets old, he is like a child, and he has to be coaxed with candied fruit even if he takes medicine.After finally taking the medicine, Tang went to bed early.

Lin Ruhai withdrew and went to visit Daiyu again.Because Daiyu's health was not good in her previous life, no matter how many famous doctors she invited, she couldn't make a diagnosis.Therefore, he can only let the servants pay attention to him now, and the servants are also selected by him and his mother.Anyone who was careless, dishonest, or unbearable at all was kicked out.Perhaps the servants were very concerned because of this, Daiyu was almost a year old and hadn't suffered from any illness.

After coaxing her daughter with a smile, Lin Ruhai went back to the study and continued to make a list of guests for the banquet in a few days.Fortunately, it is not much different from the guests of the New Year's Wine, which saves a lot of effort.There is only one family, but Lin Ruhai is very concerned about it, and that is the family of Shen Hanzhang, the general who was stationed in the northwest a few years ago.

Now only Shen Hanzhang's family is left in the Shen family's lineage, and the position of the leader may seem inconspicuous, but he is stationed in the most important Northwest, so many people came to win him over as soon as he returned to the capital.Lin Ruhai didn't want to join in the fun at first, but after counting, the two of them are related.Shen Hanzhang originally had a sister who married Jia She some years ago and died after giving birth to Jia Lian.Because Shen Hanzhang has been stationed in the northwest all year round, he has no contact with Jia's family.It's just that Jia Lian is still there anyway, if he is willing to manage, keeping the relatives of the Shen family will be very beneficial to both Jia Lian and the Jia family.

Most importantly, two years later, there will be an important battle in the Northwest Frontier.Lin Ruhai thought, if you start preparing now, you can avoid the tragedy of the previous life.

The author has something to say: laugh at the ground, when will the brain waves of these two people be on the same frequency? 2333333 In fact, I really planned to let the emperor say "I will pick a few good-looking women for you to send to you", ah, Probably the consequences will be serious [picking nose]

I think, I just wrote nondescript, not Gongdou, not male lead promotion style, not revenge novel, not some strategy article, it really made me not know what to write...
