[Red House] But for the sake of the king

After all, Aunt Su couldn't make it through, leaving her son behind, and just left.

Tang shi sighed a few times, and stopped mentioning this matter.Dystocia is not uncommon.She was checked and found no hands and feet, presumably she was not so lucky.After all, it's just a concubine, so it's not as important as a grandson.

The young master of the Lin family was named Lin Heng, and he was raised under the name of his wife Jia Min.Under Jia Min's beating, no one in the Lin family dared to mention Aunt Su anymore, especially dare not say that the young master was born by Aunt Su.Even Jiyue, who was serving Aunt Su that day, was hunted down and sent out.

Tang's and Lin Ruhai didn't say anything about it. The only shortcoming of this child is that it was born by his aunt, so it's good that he is like this now.

Before the first month passed, the Lin family began to organize their luggage and prepare to return to Beijing.Lin Ruhai, the patrol censor, was transferred back to the capital after only one year of service like his predecessors.How many people laughed at him behind his back and insisted on pretending to be aloof, but in the end he was summoned back by the emperor's imperial decree before he even had time to collect the money. He was really busy.

Lin Ruhai didn't care about these things at all, and happily took the whole family on board the big ship returning north.Compared with the heavy responsibilities at the time and the uncertain future, it can be regarded as a successful retirement with a lot of rewards.It's just a pity that he couldn't find the scarlet monk, but it became Lin Ruhai's concern.

Passing by Jinling, Lin Ruhai originally wanted to take Daiyu for a walk while the boat was docking to rest.It's a pity that Daiyu had a lot of trouble on the boat in the past two days, she was a little seasick, and she couldn't keep her spirits up.So let it go.

In the capital, Mother Jia is calling Mrs. Wang to discuss Yuanchun's marriage together.Yuan Chun is the daughter of Mrs. Wang, and she is the only daughter. She is also a treasure in every way on weekdays.A few years ago, she had already started looking at young talents in Beijing, but unfortunately, either her family background was not enough or her character was not good, and she couldn't pick and choose a decent one.Such a delay delayed her daughter until [-] years.If you can't settle down again this year, it will be very difficult to find a good husband.

Mother Jia didn't like Wang's behavior at first, so she delayed such a good granddaughter.Furthermore, although Yuan Chun is said to be the daughter of the second wife, she is not a serious daughter of the Rongguo Mansion.If one day she went, the two brothers separated, and with the second son's current official position, he would definitely suffer.

Mother Jia was leaning on the kang with the small copper stove in her arms. Because only their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were there, she said this very straightforwardly, "If you want me to say that the second son of the Hu family was good in the early years, you just don't want to." I thought that his family background was not outstanding enough. But they turned around and hired the daughter of Zhao Shilang's family, and now they even have children. Although our family is a state duke's family, this title belongs to the elders. Yuan Chun can marry someone like the Hu family People, it's already a high climb."

Mrs. Wang was unhappy. Jia Zheng's official position was not high and she hadn't been promoted for many years, which already made her feel a little embarrassed, so she never mentioned it easily.After being the housekeeper these years, she has already regarded herself as the proper hostess of the Ningguo Mansion, and she can take charge of the family business just waiting to send the old lady away.Now that the old lady said this, Mrs. Wang's face was naturally not good-looking, but she was always gentle, courteous and thrifty, so she smiled and followed the old lady's words and said, "What the old lady said is very true. It turns out that the daughter-in-law is young and inexperienced." Well, Yuan Chun is my only daughter, so I'm a bit picky. My daughter-in-law doesn't expect to find someone as outstanding as her Uncle Lin for Yuan Chun, but after all, her background and character can't be too bad. A story with the girls in the house in the future Parents are in the way, and the second one also makes people look down on our Ningguo Mansion."

Mother Jia brushed her forehead and said, "That's true, but you're going too far. Yuanchun is sixteen now, but you can't stay any longer. You parents should worry about these things. It's just that you told me that as a grandmother, I have to help to see each other. Nowadays, there are only a few people of the right age in the capital, and there are really not many people who are familiar with our family. It's just that you should As I said earlier, it happens to be a name when you invite New Year's wine in the first month, where can I find such a name now?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly apologized, "It's my daughter-in-law who is confused. I forgot such an important matter during the busy reception and delivery in the first month. But I heard that my aunt's family will return to Beijing. I think it will be inevitable when I come here. Therefore, my daughter-in-law wanted to ask my aunt to help me find out, and the people in the Lin family are different from ours."

Jia's mother laughed in her heart, her daughter-in-law has made such a big circle, isn't it just because of this sentence.But this is also for Yuanchun, not to mention that if it is really possible to make friends with such a family, it will be of great benefit to the Jia family.So he smiled lightly and said, "That's right, I actually forgot about them. Didn't the letter I sent earlier say it would arrive in mid-March? Then wait a few more days. She is Yuan Chun's aunt anyway, let her visit me Don't worry too."

Mrs. Wang thought it was done, so she was about to thank her when she heard Jiamu add another sentence behind her, "But since it's your daughter's marriage, you know it in your heart, so I won't be the middleman, anyway. Let's discuss what you two sisters-in-law are asking for." She walked around for a long time, just so that Mother Jia could come forward and talk to Jia Min on her behalf.How could Jia's mother not know what kind of relationship she has with Jia Min, and she actually wanted her to bow her head to Jia Min.Just for the sake of her daughter, Mrs. Wang has no choice but to agree.It's just that on the other side, I begged my natal sister-in-law for help. If it's good, I won't have to ask Jia Min again.

On the twelfth of March, the Lin family's boat finally landed, and the steward who stayed in the capital had already dispatched chariots and horses to wait at the pier.It's only been a year since he came back, but Lin Ruhai feels like a lifetime away.Helping his mother, wife, and a pair of children down one by one, Lin Ruhai suppressed his petty thoughts. After all, what is in front of him is the truth, so why cling to the past.

When they got home, Tang was very lazy, everything in the house had been cleaned, and without much arrangement, he took Daiyu back to the yard to rest.Jia Min is now focused on his son, and is impatient to care about these things.Besides, Lin Heng was only three months old, and after being on the boat for so long, he didn't know if there was any serious problem, so he first invited the imperial physician to come over for diagnosis and treatment.

Lin Ruhai hurriedly washed up, changed into court clothes, and went to the palace to face the saint before dark.Officials who originally returned to Beijing to report on their duties should first report to the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Officials will report to the emperor. Those who are above the third rank or the emperor wants to be summoned will arrange an audience.It's just that the things in Lin Ruhai's hands can't be presented through memorials, and the capital city is very complicated. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, it is natural to present things as soon as possible.

Jun Qi held a pile of so-called evidence in his hands, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Ruhai.Even Dai Quan was kicked out by him at this moment, and there were only the two of them inside, no different from other courtyards.Pian Ruhai was wearing a formal court dress, with a serious face, he didn't want to make fun of it, so he just had to take a second look.

Lin Ruhai was uncomfortable being stared at by him, if it wasn't because he was in the imperial study, he would have turned his back to him a long time ago.It's just that it's not a problem to endure it like this. Seeing that the palace gate is about to be released, what's the matter with him standing here all the time?Yin said, "Your Majesty, these things can't be read in a short while. The sky is over today, and the minister's family has just arrived in Beijing today, and they haven't settled down yet. Please forgive me and let the minister go back earlier."

Jun Qi simply threw the things in his hands on the table, walked down and stood still in front of Lin Ruhai, "You are getting more and more courageous now, I haven't opened my mouth yet, but I want to go home. Go back and see your son."

Lin Ruhai hurriedly bowed to make amends, not even daring to say anything.It's true to be bold, and it's true that I want to go back to see my son, but I dare not speak out.

Jun Qi grabbed his shoulders and couldn't help laughing, "Look at you, I just made a joke or two, but I actually took it seriously. I know you landed at the end of the afternoon, so I didn't want you to enter the palace right away. But, Hey, it’s been half a year since the year after year? You don’t want to write more about your recent situation in your letters, and you don’t know whether you are fat or thin. It’s really worrying. Although they have reported, but It’s a matter of business, and it’s not as reassuring as I can see it with my own eyes.”

Lin Ruhai's ears felt hot when he heard this.Before Jun Qi returned to Beijing, he was afraid that something might happen to him, so he insisted on leaving two hidden guards to protect him.He also knew that his every word and deed might have been reported to Jun Qi by them, but he didn't expect that to be the meaning.After all, he is also a seven-foot man who has passed away, and now he is treated like a child by Jun Qi, he is indeed a little ashamed. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Isn't this little minister doing well?"

Jun Qi raised his hand, as if he wanted to make some movement, but finally put it down in mid-air, "I was thinking about it, you must be very tired on the boat, it's time to take a good rest. Let's do this for today, I will go to another hospital in three days, let's talk in detail then."

chat?what's the topic?Lin Ruhai always felt that it was not that simple, but he didn't say anything, the Zhen family had to do something.What's more, there are things in the Northwest and Korea, and I don't know how it is going.This palace looks like the emperor's territory, but in fact, I don't know how many other people's eyes and ears are staring at it. It's not as clean as other courtyards.

Jun Qi watched him walk out of the hall, thinking in his heart that he had to figure it out slowly.

On the second day after Lin's family arrived in Beijing, some relatives came to the door.The Tang family sent two decent women to say hello to Lao Fengjun on behalf of their wives. It must be that Lao Fengjun is very busy these days, and I will invite Lao Fengjun to come over to listen to it in a few days. play.The Tang family also sent two wives to take the soil instrument they brought from the south, and went back with the two wives.The Jia family's side is different. Mrs. Wang personally brought people to see Jia Min.

Jia Min sleeps well now, eats well, and looks much better than before.Seeing this second sister-in-law who had always been alienated, she also happily pulled her to talk, "Second sister-in-law is very busy at home, why come here when she is free. I just said that I still have some things to pack today, and I will go tomorrow Greetings to mother, but you are here today. Is the family okay? Is mother still in good health? I heard that brother Zhen’s wife is gone, it’s really a pity, such an outstanding person is actually a blessing.”

Mrs. Wang sat down side by side on the kang with her, listening to such a series of words, there was no shortage of smiles on her face, "It's no wonder that my aunt is still thinking about her family when she is far in the south. The old lady is a blessed one. There is no one here who has a headache, just thinks about you from time to time. Brother Zhen’s daughter-in-law is also ill, and it’s not a sudden. I don’t know what the situation of the aunt is in the south. He weighs eight catties and two taels at birth, he is really a big fat boy."

Wang shied away from the important and ignored the minor, and did not break up the distinction between the concubine and the concubine, which made Jia Min very happy, "No, I have never heard of anyone having such a big child, I just hope that it will be like this in the future." " Turning to the weather in the south, "Speaking of which, although the south is warmer and more humid, it is not as comfortable as the capital. After arriving there, it rained a few times, as fine as a cow's hair, and it didn't stop. It's annoying to me. It's better in summer, not as hot as the capital city."

Wang replied absent-mindedly, she didn't come here today to listen to the aunt's gossip, she really had something serious to ask for.It's just that she has always been begged by others to do things, and she has never begged others in a humble manner, so it is a bit difficult to speak.

Jia Min saw that she wasn't thinking about it, and she hadn't had time to go back to her mother's house to pay her respects to her mother, so the second sister-in-law came here in a hurry, so there was something wrong. "Look at what I've said so much, I forgot to ask my second sister-in-law what's going on today?"

Wang said along, "It's nothing serious. I just thought that my aunt went to the south this year, and I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came to see you. If there is something important, there is really one thing. My aunt also knows, Yuan Chun This year is already sixteen, and I was reluctant to part with her two years ago, thinking of staying for a few more years, but it was a delay for the child. It was the old lady who cared about her granddaughter and told me about it. It’s just that they are all mothers, Who doesn't want to have a child. There is always a day when the girl's family will go out. After raising them for so many years, they are always reluctant. But now, there is no longer any delay. There are not many families who walk with our family that are suitable. Therefore I want my aunt to help me see each other."

Jia Min smiled and said, "I still don't know what is the big deal. At Yuanchun's age, it's time to make a decision. Since I am her aunt, I will not shirk such things. Even if my sister-in-law didn't tell me, I was still paying attention. It seemed that the year before last I heard my mother talk about the Hu family, why is it not possible? It just so happens that brother Heng was born in the south, and the full moon has never been a big deal, so the old lady ordered the hundred-day banquet to be arranged, and it will only take a few days. Here I am Post more posts, and then let the men take a look at it in front of you."

Mrs. Wang didn't expect things to go so smoothly, but Jia Min always had a half-smile on her face, always making her feel like she was being laughed at.So after thanking him and talking about the idle articles, he got up and said goodbye.

Jia Min politely sent the man out, turned to look at his son first, saw that he was sleeping soundly, and went back to the main house to think about who he would invite to the Hundred Days Banquet.Since the second sister-in-law was able to find her about Yuan Chun's matter, she must have mentioned it to her mother, and it's hard to shirk it because she is an aunt.Besides, she is also a mother now, although Daiyu is not raised by her side, she still comes to pay her respects every day.Comparing her heart with her heart, if it was time for Daiyu to leave the pavilion, she must be thinking a lot, thinking of finding a good home for her.

Pity the hearts of parents in the world, and think carefully about marriage.The aunt made a good relationship with kindness, but the noble girl wanted to go to Yunqing.
