[Red House] But for the sake of the king

Besides, Daiyu obediently obeyed her mother's orders, nestled quietly beside Tang, not daring to open her mouth easily.Sometimes Tang asked her to ask someone to salute, so she did as she learned in the past.Such a little doll carved in powder and jade, coupled with slightly unfamiliar movements, actually made the princesses and wives of various families laugh.

There was also the Princess Dongping, who pointed at Daiyu and teased Princess Beijing, "Look, your future daughter-in-law is going to salute you, why don't you hurry up and take out the gift. If any one of us is missing, I can't miss you." If you don't serve dim sum, such a good wife will be snatched away."

Everyone remembered Daiyu's arrest of Zhou that year, and they all held back their laughter.Princess Beijing smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry yet. Why are you worrying for nothing? I will lose her? The old concubine has spoken before. This is the daughter-in-law appointed by our Beiwang family." Son, who would dare to snatch it? Could it be that the concubine sees that Miss Lin is nice and wants to snatch her away from me?" While speaking, a girl who was standing by her accompanied her to present a gift.

Princess Dongping sighed, "Oh, it's a pity that none of the prince's boys are similar in age to Ms. Lin. Otherwise, Ms. Lin will never get your turn, and I will be predestined in her stomach."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and they talked about the freshest interesting things in the capital, and they talked about it.Daiyu was a little frightened, and timidly hid behind Tang, refusing to see anyone, but in the end Princess Nan'an couldn't see it, and asked people to send her to the back to rest for a while.He also said that Dongping Wang Taifei was too shameless and took her as a joke in front of the little girl.Dongping Wang Taifei didn't care much, and went to talk to others.

After Jia Min came out with Brother Heng in his arms, the big guy stopped talking and looked at Brother Heng, and then praised him a few more words, but they were just strong and cute, and he didn't care much.A child who is only a hundred days old can't see anything, so it's fine to say more ordinary auspicious words.There are only one or two gossiping good things, and they go back and talk about it, saying that this Mrs. Lin is a hundred times kind to her son, and even the improvement is far better than when her daughter was full moon that day.He also said that this kind of care is not like a aunt's treatment of a concubine, but like his own.The Lin family did not specify who the child's biological mother was, so everyone guessed that it was born by a concubine.It's just that Jia Min's appearance now makes many people think that the child was born by her, and the rumors gradually spread, this is a later story.

The men in front were also very lively, although Lin Ruhai didn't like drinking, it was a rare day for him to drink, so he also drank a few more glasses.Just when the wine was hot, Lin Sheng hurried in and said a few words in Lin Ruhai's ear.Lin Ruhai smiled and made a fool of everyone at the table, got up and went outside. "What's the matter, which god is here? Look at you, what are you doing in a panic on a big day?"

Lin Sheng replied, "I don't dare, it's just that the master said that I have something important to tell the master about the young lady and the Lin family, so I dare not specialize."

Lin Ruhai seemed to think of something, "That master is skinny, dressed in rags, holding a big wooden bowl?"

Lin Sheng hurriedly responded, "Exactly, feelings are the master's old friend, and the strange way can still tell the young lady's baby name."

Lin Ruhai walked quickly, no one was an old friend, it was clearly the scarlet monk who had been looking for for a long time.After inquiring about it for a long time, he unexpectedly delivered it to his door.

The scarlet-headed monk was waiting in the side hall, feeling very uneasy.According to what he knew before, on the [-]th day of the second lunar month, Fairy Jiangzhu found the Yangzhou Xunyan Yushi's mansion, but he was told that Master Lin Ruhai and Lin's family had returned to Beijing a few days ago.Shocked, the monk with a scarlet head hurriedly deduced the secret, but his skills were limited when he descended to the mortal world, and he only noticed that things had changed, but he couldn't figure out why.In desperation, he had no choice but to set off for Beijing. Since he said he wanted to enlighten these idiots, he should do it with all his heart.After settling the injustice of being romantic, he also accumulated merits and virtues, and returned to the fairyland with his fellow Taoists.

Lin Ruhai came into the living room, and seeing that it was really the monk with the scarlet head back then, he felt confident.He took a few steps forward and said with a smile, "The master invites you."

The scarlet-headed monk was also busy answering questions.

Lin Ruhaiyin said, "I heard what the servants of the family said. The master knows the fate of the little girl, and he intends to spread the maze on purpose. The disciple is stupid, so I ask the master to give me some advice. If you are greatly favored, you don't want the little girl to live a long life, but only ask for a good beginning and a good end. Unforgettable teeth."

The scarlet-headed monk noticed something different from the moment Lin Ruhai came in. Although this person is Lin Ruhai himself, the soul in him should not exist in the three realms and five elements.It's just that his magic power is limited, and he can't see through his origin, so he can only say one by one according to the words prepared earlier. "Since Ling Qianjin was born, there have been many disasters. If you don't enter Buddhism, you will never be able to live in the world. If the master really loves Lingmei, why not let me go."

When Lin Ruhai heard it, it was indeed the same words as in the previous life.It's just that Daiyu is different from her previous life, she has never had a few minor illnesses, so why do you keep talking about disasters?Yin said, "Master was joking. The little girl has not even broken her skin for more than two years since she was born. How can there be such a disaster? Today is a good day for the Lin family, Master, please be careful."

The scarlet-headed monk secretly thought that something really happened, presumably it was a little mistake in reincarnation, or it was a moth made by this invisible mortal in front of him, what should I do?It's just that the cause of the past life has been determined, and the fruit of this life can still escape, and there will be no mistakes.So the monk said again, "If you don't want her now, you will have to suffer in the future, why don't you let her go sooner."

Lin Ruhai laughed angrily, "Although the master is a monk, he should know the grace of giving birth and nurturing. The little girl is doing well now, with both parents and no illness. How can there be any reason to become a monk? If the master insists on doing this, don't blame me for being rude." gone."

The scarlet monk still wanted to speak, but Lin Ruhai gave him such a stare, so he felt a little guilty, so he had no choice but to retreat, "If she really doesn't give up, I'm afraid she will suffer a lot in the future. If you want to keep your life safe, you can't live without it from now on. No crying is ever allowed; except for parents, anyone who has relatives and friends with other surnames should not be seen, so that this life can be peaceful."

Lin Ruhai suppressed his expression, and called Lin Sheng in, "You send this master out. Although he is a little crazy, it's not easy. If you go to the kitchen and ask him a bowl of vegetarian food, it will be regarded as accumulating virtue for Brother Heng. "

The monk with the scarlet head shook his head and sighed, how come a brother came out.On the one hand, he was kind and reasonable, took the fast meal, sang a song with an unknown tune, and walked away into the distance.

Because of this incident, Lin Ruhai became worried about Daiyu again.Although what the scarlet-headed monk said was almost the same as in his previous life, his speech and behavior were all very weird.It's just that he was able to find the capital from the south of the Yangtze River. Presumably he is not an ordinary crazy monk, and he may be some kind of god or demon.He can be reborn, and he is a little dubious about ghosts, gods and demons, so he has to think more.Fortunately, Daiyu is quite different from her previous life now, and with Brother Heng again, the Lin family will not be put in a desperate situation again.It's just that even though Daiyu has a high-quality Buddhist bead magic weapon on her body, Lin Ruhai is still a little worried, fearing that she will provoke something unclean.Thinking of that piece of black jade, he moved his mind and asked Jun Qi.

Jun Qi looked at Lin Ruhai amusedly, "What you want is to let me take this piece of black jade to Huangjue Temple for Master Mingde to consecrate it?"

Lin Ruhai said solemnly, "Exactly."

Jun Qi laughed and managed to straighten out his anger, "Oh, but I didn't make it clear that this jade was consecrated when it was given to you. Didn't you see the silk sash on it? ?”

Only then did Lin Ruhai look at the silk tapestry, and sure enough, there was a small "卍" character embroidered with red thread underneath. The red characters on the yellow background were not only used by Huangjue Temple. "But I was so confused that I didn't look carefully. In the past two years, I have buried such a treasure under the box. If so, I will let Yu'er wear it later."

But Jun Qi took the jade over, "You haven't worn it for two years, even though it has been consecrated once, it is too ugly to put it under the box. You must trouble Master Mingde to get tired, so let's consecrate it again. It's just the year I said before that your daughter is too young to be able to bear it, so why did you find it and want to wear it, and Master Mingde should consecrate it."

Lin Ruhai told him about the monk with a scarlet head, and added at the end, "I don't speak strangely, it's just that it's my daughter's own treasure, so it's better to take precautions before it happens. Besides, the things you give are also It can’t be hidden all the time. With it, I won’t be afraid of being compared to others when I go to her grandmother’s house in a few days.”

The latter sentence is not a joke.The Jia family's Baoyu dropped the jade the first time he saw Yu'er, which caused a big disturbance, but Lin Ruhai remembered it firmly.According to what Wang Momo said that day, Daiyu secretly felt sad for a long time because of this incident.Although the daughter is not as sick and weak as in the previous life, and she does not feel the grief of losing her mother, after all, she is young, if she is frightened, it will be serious.

Jun Qi said a few more words, but it was just a joke.Seeing that Ruhai cared so much about her daughter, she was no worse than her son, so she thought about it, and after returning to the palace, she ordered Dai Quan to prepare two sets of fine jewelry and send them to her. Naturally, she didn't forget to give some things to Lin Heng Son.Lin Ruhai accepted it dumbfounded, and now he understood that the way this master showed his kindness was a generous reward.Mingming had only cried poorly with him, but turned around and gave him such a good baby, there is really nothing to say.Besides, at Daiyu's current age, her hair can be braided enough to braid a few strands, and her wrists and necks are thin, so she can't use them.On the contrary, Mrs. Lin and Jia Min deeply felt that Lin Ruhai had face in front of the emperor, and even brought the Lin family into favor.It's just a few ordinary golden lockets, gifted by the emperor if they can't stand it, but they are different.

It was here that Lin Ruhai prepared the ink jade and sent it to Tang, so Tang asked a girl who was good at making knots to tie a knot with gold thread, and tied the jade around Daiyu's neck with multicolored silk ribbons. The gold collar that was always hanging at home was taken off.Children's bones are soft, so how can they bear so many things falling down, just wait until they grow up to add more.

After finishing Daiyu's affairs, Lin Ruhai had settled his mind, and spent the whole day at home tasting poems and playing chess with the Qing guests, enjoying himself leisurely and happily.He has already finished his job report, and he can take office just waiting for the order from his superiors to make a new appointment.This half a month can be regarded as a stolen leisure time, but you should enjoy it.

Shui Rong has made more progress this year, his speech is quite different from the past, and he has become more calm.Although there is no death of the King of Beijing, and Shui Rong who does not have a heavy responsibility, he has the maturity and prudence of an adult, but the innocence of a child can still be shown in the slightest.Lin Ruhai's original intention was to let him have talks with celebrities at home like last year, so as to benefit himself.It's just that Shui Rong refused, saying that the teacher had been away from Beijing for a long time, and he was looking forward to returning with great difficulty, so he should make up for the missed lessons.So Lin Ruhai just followed him, giving advice every day while he still had time.

Besides, for Jia Lian, his uncle Shen Hanzhang arranged for him to be the Imperial Guard Zhonglong Banwei who was responsible for protecting the inner court.This post sounds like a big name, but it is actually just a vain post, most of which are filled by distant branches of the royal family and descendants of high-ranking officials.Shen Hanzhang knew that Jia Lian would not succeed in martial arts, but he made proper arrangements for him.No matter what kind of imperial guard, false or real, there are always his advantages.Long Jinwei like Jia Lian, after a few years, seeks to be released to the outside world, suffers for a year or two, and then returns to Beijing with some connections, and then he will be able to take up a real job.It's just that most of the Long Jinwei came from aristocratic families and were too lazy to go to other places to endure hardships, and few people took this road.Jia Lian was very moved when he heard his uncle's words. First, Captain Long is already a fifth rank. If he can be transferred back to the capital, the official position is not low, and it is much more affordable than those false benefits; second, he should be married. Old, very impatient with his father's discipline, and often compared with Jia Zhu at home, so it is better to take his wife and hide away for two years.

Lin Ruhai also praised him, his uncle is really different, and he has already thought about the way in the future, which saves him some worries.And if Jia Lian was really willing to endure the hardship, his foreign transfer was not as good-looking as the inspector censor, and he was probably a small local official, so it would not be in vain for him to think so highly of Jia Lian.But Lin Ruhai also knew that Jia Lian was able to do this now, probably because of his competitive spirit, and vowed to compare Jia Zhu.It's just that Jia Lian is not studying for learning, but looking for a way to settle down, and he doesn't need those high-minded tunes.

At the beginning of April, at the Great Court Meeting, Jun Qi ordered someone to proclaim the imperial decree in court, greatly commending Lin Ruhai's contribution in Yangzhou, and promoted him to be a Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he was named Prince Taifu, an official to the first rank.For a while, Lin Ruhai was in the limelight, and no one could match her.It's just that Lin Ruhai has always kept a low profile, and has never taken advantage of the situation to make a big show, nor has he ever publicly avenged his personal revenge.

There are those who shrewdly counted the people who went to the Lin family's door. Except for those who had been in contact with each other, all of them were politely turned away, and even returned with various gifts.There are also a few families who know the basics and know that the Lin family is not bad for this idea, so they only choose some suitable gifts to send as a little token of appreciation.After a long time, everyone could see that the co-author Mr. Lin was really upright and honest, and he did not covet wealth and honor.

It was just that the upsurge of Lin Ruhai's promotion was about to dissipate, and another incident happened, which made him almost the target of public criticism.
