The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber
Chapter 34 In the past 2 years, Daiyu has...
In the past two years, Daiyu has fully demonstrated her management skills.Not only has the back house of the Lin family been kept in order, but the property has also improved.That is, after changing a few restless stewards and promoting a group of well-capable farm heads in the farm shops in various places, no one dares to fool the big girl anymore.
The main reason is that she can't be fooled. Miss Lin prepared the local meteorological records and the average yield per mu of various fields the first time she cleaned up the village herself. This is too ruthless.
Most of the properties of the Lin family are located in the capital and Jiangnan. The officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River has taken on a new look, so there is no need to be afraid of someone's deliberate retaliation, and because the managers of Zhuangzi and the shop still have to use them, there is no need to deal with these properties. The rent is collected, and the income is.
The furniture in the capital of the Lin family is ready-made, so there is no need to bring it.The most important things are all kinds of books, calligraphy and paintings, and the ranking of ancestors; then there are the land deeds of various industries, and the deeds of the servants; in addition, bring some clothes and soft clothes.After packing up like this, the things that need to be brought, except for dozens of cars of books, are not too many.
While Daiyu was packing up the things at home, she had already sent people back to Beijing to clean up the house.Because of returning to Beijing this time, there will be little chance to go back to the south in the future, and there are still some small things that need to be arranged.
In addition to packing their luggage, there were also a lot of people who came to the Lin family to congratulate them during this period of time.Lin Ruhai made the first contribution in the salt smuggling case, and was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. In Jiangnan, there is no other moment in the limelight, so naturally there are many people who come to curry favor.
After two years, many people in the south of the Yangtze River knew that the Lin family was in charge of the center, and it was Miss Lin who took care of the inner curtains. Not only did no one despise Daiyu, but they were also quite flattering.Daiyu dealt with these things calmly, but it was a waste of time. Ever since her father received the transfer order, Daiyu had less time to practice martial arts.
However, although the time for practicing martial arts has been squeezed out, Daiyu is still satisfied with her current physical fitness.Since her health improved and her physical strength increased, Daiyu changed the way of walking in circles and began to practice martial arts, and she also pulled Lin You to practice together. Now she has persisted for more than a year.Now the two siblings are not only pale and rosy, but also rarely catch cold.
Daiyu knows that during the growth and development period, no matter what kind of exercise, it is necessary to pay attention to moderation. Excessive exercise will affect the development, so the daily practice time is not long. The original intention is to strengthen the physique. Now it seems that the effect is good.Daiyu didn't have to go into battle to kill the enemy, and Daiyu didn't expect to quickly practice like a female warrior.
Even if she doesn't have the physical fitness of a female warrior, Daiyu's physique is much stronger than in her previous life. At least she receives visitors every day, checks the account books, directs packing luggage, etc. After being busy all day long, Daiyu doesn't feel tired at all.
Since most of the luggage that needs to be brought into the capital are books, Daiyu does not intend to ask the escort to enter the capital by water.Although boating on the canal is safe most of the time, there are occasional water bandits in some remote sections of the river.
After the people on the boat fell into the water, they came out. The water bandits who pretended to be local farmers and fishermen came out.Because the water bandits who dig the boat are very good at water, they can swim far away after cutting half of the bottom of the boat, often failing to catch people.
In this way, the half-cut boat will not be flooded on the spot, and it can often go on for a period of time. After the owner of the boat discovers that the bottom of the boat is leaking, there will be no shadow of the boat cutter.As for those who are waiting to blackmail and save people on the shore, they just dress up as ordinary villagers.These people are willing to save people only after seeing the money. The owner of the ship is anxious to survive, and most of them will agree to pay high labor fees.In fact, the shipwrecker and the rescuer are the same team. They work together and work together. Not only do they get a lot of money, but they often also get a lot of thanks from the shipowner.
Not only are water bandits not easy to be caught by the government for doing such a business, but they are even regarded as good people who help others.
Until one time, I met a very careful scholar who was going to Beijing to rush for an exam. Because he was afraid of making mistakes on the way, he would check everything carefully before leaving.Even the boats used have been carefully inspected and repaired, so there will be no water leakage during the sailing.
After the scholar became a Taoist, he was rescued by the water bandits. Although he was paid, he hired another person to salvage the sunken ship after the water bandits left. After carefully inspecting the bottom of the ship, he saw that the bottom plate of the ship had been cut in half by a sharp weapon, so the case was solved. .
After the scholar solved the case, the imperial court cleaned up the law and order of the canal twice, and there were fewer water bandits on the canal. If she usually went to Beijing, Daiyu would choose the waterway to save money.But this time when the Lin family came to Beijing, there were dozens of carts of books, calligraphy and paintings, and many orphaned copies. If they were overturned into the river, the loss would be immeasurable.
Therefore, Daiyu chose to pack the books with oilcloth first, and then put them into camphor wood boxes to load them into the car. She ordered the steward who had handled the affairs properly to take her servants and nurses, and hired a reputable escort to escort them to Beijing by dry road.In addition, the four aunts of the Lin family also followed the convoy one step ahead.
After waiting for about another month, the new Lianghuai Salt Transport Envoy arrived, and Lin Ruhai handed over to him before taking his family to Suzhou.
Although Lin Ruhai didn't return to his hometown very often, every time he returned, he returned home in good clothes, and this time he was promoted to the Minister of the Household Department, which was even more beautiful.Not to mention that everyone from the Lin family came to congratulate, even Lin Mu's family who had been refuted by Daiyu before; Yao Guoan, the governor of Jiangnan, and Fan Guangxi, the governor of Jiangsu, were also present.
No matter how rich and prosperous the south of the Yangtze River is, there are many times when the imperial court is required to allocate funds. No one who is a local official wants to offend the Minister of the Household Department.As for Fan Guangxi, he was in charge of the money and valley issues in Suzhou and several nearby counties, and he was directly responsible to the imperial court. It was the Ministry of Household Affairs who connected upwards, and Lin Ruhai was his immediate boss.
So even though Daiyu and Mrs. Fan's mother and daughter had an unpleasant quarrel at Governor Yao's house last time, the Fan family still wanted to come and walk.It's just that Fan Shi was very arrogant in the end, knowing that Daiyu was in charge of the Lin family, who was in charge of the Zhongfu, and received guests. If he came, he would have to meet him, so he said that he hadn't arrived yet because of his illness.
Mrs. Fan is here. Even if there was an unpleasant scene last time, the Fan family can't put on a gesture of being far away from the Lin family.Even so, on the way Mrs. Fan came, her heart was pounding, and she said to Fan Guangxi in the car: "Master, I heard that the girl in the Lin family is now the director. Last time, Shi'er offended the girl of the Lin family. Family, will it refute our family's face again?"
After all, Fan Guangxi was a local official, and his status was much higher than that of Mrs. Fan. He said, "What are you worried about? How can it be so easy to take care of a book in the family. It is said that Miss Lin has been the director for two years. Yes, but I haven't heard of any disrespectful or offending people. It can be seen that she is considerate. Miss Ruolin is really a little girl, and Lin Shangshu was the first to be worried about entrusting these many things to her.
But you, the youngest child is older than Miss Lin, so you care about a girl.Just because you are worried about Miss Lin making things difficult for you today, you will be left behind.Shi'er has been learning Zhongfu from you for several years, but she is still self-willed. "
Mrs. Fan scolded for nothing and blushed immediately.He thought to himself: That girl from the Lin family has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, how could she be as thoughtful as you said.However, the conflict with Daiyu last time was the matter of Mr. Fan's family. Fan Guangxi was upset because his wife and daughter had offended Shang Shuqian, so Mrs. Fan didn't dare to say anything.
Mrs. Fan came to the Lin Mansion with a heart in her heart, but she saw that Daiyu treated her no differently from other visiting wives, as if what happened last time had never happened, and she didn't blame herself at all, only then did she realize that what her master said was right right.The last time Miss Lin was not forgiving, it was because she argued with reason; this time she didn't make things difficult because of what happened last time, it was because she was magnanimous.This is what a real lady should have in her advances and retreats.Only in this way can we take care of a book in the family and maintain contacts.
Even Mrs. Fan always felt that Fan Shi was outstanding, but compared with Miss Lin, Mrs. Fan had to admit that her own Shi'er was far from Daiyu's.
After returning home from the Lin family, Mrs. Fan's attitude changed, and she said to Fan Guangxi: "As the master said, Miss Lin really didn't mention the previous incident at all, not only didn't she mention it, she didn't even look unhappy. On weekdays I heard people say that a prime minister can pull a boat in his belly, but I think this Shangshuqianjin can also pull a boat in his belly."
After Fan Guangxi heard this, although he didn't say anything, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Even Mr. Lin's eight-year-old daughter is so rich, I think Mr. Lin is easy to get along with.
Mrs. Fan saw that Miss Lin was mentioned this time, and she didn't offend her husband anymore, so she tried to say: "Master, how about I ask someone to come in for our house and talk about Miss Lin?"
Fan Guangxi was taken aback by these words, and said: "What are you fantasizing about? Mr. Lin is the official residence of the Minister, and Miss Lin is the eldest daughter, so our family can't climb up to Guangxi. Besides, Jin'er is no better than Miss Lin." A few years older, Master Lin and his wife must be unwilling."
Mrs. Fan gave birth to two sons and a daughter. The eldest son, Fan Yuan, who is sixteen this year, is already engaged.The second son Fan Jin and the youngest daughter Fan Shi are twins, both 12 years old.She was four years older than Daiyu, although it was not very suitable, it was not too much older.Besides, although Miss Lin is outstanding, Mrs. Fan thinks her son is also good.
So Mrs. Fan said: "Don't belittle us Jin'er too much. Men are not like daughters. As long as Jin'er is willing to make progress, he may not be able to be a high-ranking official in the future when he becomes an official. Left and right Jin'er will be admitted to Beijing for the exam. I wrote to Let the lady say it, and the lady will test it out. It doesn’t matter if it succeeds or not.”
After Fan Guangxi heard these words, Fang Zheng became pale.
To say that Fan Guangxi has twins under his knees, Fan Jin, the second son of the direct line, is indeed smart, steady, and extremely motivated.Now that he is twelve years old, the husband said that he is ready to test the waters.Regardless of whether he can be a child student this time, it is already outstanding if he dares to end at this age.On the other hand, Fan Shi, although he and Fan Jin are twins, they are unruly and willful, and their temperaments are quite different.
The empress that Mrs. Fan was talking about was Concubine Zhong.Affected by this private salt case, Concubine Zhen was demoted to Concubine Zhen, and the right to assist the Six Palaces was also withdrawn.But the harem cannot be dominated by Concubine Zhou's family. Although Concubine Zhong has not been promoted to the throne, she has received the benefits of being an assistant to the Sixth Palace, and is now enjoying a prosperous life.
When Mrs. Fan's Zhong's brothers were hunting in Iron Net Mountain, they were dismissed from their errands because of their disrespect in front of the imperial court.But after all, the bodyguard Zhong was responsible for the Ninth Prince's troubles, so even if little concubine Zhong could compensate or win over, it would be reasonable to test the attitude of the Lin family on behalf of Mrs. Fan.
More importantly, if this is done, the interests of the Lin family and the Fan family will be tied together.When the time comes, it will be hard to say whether Lin Ruhai, Minister of the Household Department, will be on the side of the elder sister, the princess, or the daughter.As far as Concubine Yu Xiaozhong is concerned, she is definitely willing to complete this matter.
The point is that Concubine Zhong is planning for Aizi, if she intends to use power to facilitate this matter, it will be unbeautiful instead.It's okay for the Lin family to submit, but if the Lin family insists on refusing to form this relationship, wouldn't they be offended?Besides, there is no precedent for giving marriages in this dynasty. Even if marriages are given, both men and women are willing to seek dignity together.
Fan Guangxi had already figured out the pros and cons within a few breaths, and said: "Tell me, this matter is likely to happen nine times out of ten, so don't fantasize about it. Besides, how old is Miss Lin? If Miss Lin is really as good as you said, How can Mrs. Lin and his wife agree to let him go early?" Then he analyzed the benefits and benefits to Mrs. Fan: "If the empress only has a try, it's fine to let it go if it doesn't work; if the empress is too aggressive in this matter in order to win over the Lin family , must be self-defeating."
Mrs. Fan agreed on the surface, but she didn't know what was going on in her heart.
On the other hand, Daiyu didn't know that someone had already made an idea of her marriage. The Lin family chose an auspicious day to worship their ancestors. When preparing many sacrifices, Daiyu suddenly thought of something, so she discussed with her parents, It's better to take Yinglian as a righteous daughter.
Jia Min listened, pondered and said: "Yinglian was originally the daughter of a good family, and she has been with us for more than a year. I think she is a good child; even her mother, Feng Shi, is also a person who knows what is good and what is wrong. If she hadn't experienced being kidnapped by a kidnapper, it wouldn't be a bad thing for me to have one more daughter, but with this incident, I'm afraid it will affect Yu'er's future in the future."
Asking Yinglian to accompany Daiyu, the Lin family has already considered supporting Yinglian; but as sisters, the nature is different.In this era, the reputation of a girl's family will be implicated by her sisters.
But Daiyu said: "Mother is worrying too much. The abduction was not the fault of Sister Yinglian. How can we treat the victim harshly? Besides, Changmen is under the jurisdiction of Suzhou, so it is very close to here." Well, when Mrs. Feng's mother and daughter arrived in their hometown, if their reputations were not right, wouldn't they go to Beijing with us instead of returning to their hometown to settle down? This would be even more detrimental to their mother and daughter's reputation.
But if Mrs. Feng brings Yinglian back to her hometown, and there is no man in the family to make decisions, Mrs. Feng still has to rely on her elder brother, and she will go to the tiger's mouth.Moreover, Sister Yinglian is at such an age, with such good looks, that she is approaching the age of marriage. After losing her support, Sister Yinglian doesn't know what kind of family she can talk about in a hurry. Who can I rely on?If my father and mother had adopted Yinglian as a foster daughter, it would be justifiable for sister Yinglian to follow us to Beijing, and I would also have many older sisters. "
When Jia Min heard this, he laughed, "You are very thoughtful." Then he turned to Lin Ruhai and said, "It's hard for us, Yu'er, to be so kind-hearted, and to make so many plans for a mother and daughter who are helpless."
Lin Ruhai looked at Daiyu with a smile on his face and said, "Yu'er, did you think about this matter long ago, but it's only at this moment that you choose to talk about it?"
Daiyu didn't deny it either, and nodded with a smile.In the previous life, Daiyu saw the sisters who were as beautiful as flowers and jade, how miserable it was after losing her support. In this life, she has the ability to protect one or two of the sisters in the previous life, and there is nothing wrong with it.
As for being hurt by Yinglian's past, Daiyu didn't care at all.For one thing, as long as the father is safe and the brothers are motivated, the only daughters of the Shangshu Mansion who are prostitutes can only step over the threshold and be asked to marry.The so-called girl has nothing wrong with herself, but her reputation has been brought down by so-and-so, which is often an excuse for the man to look down on the woman's family background; if the woman's family background is outstanding, the world will change the excuse.
Take the matter of adopting Yinglian as an example, if the Lin family falls in the future, the world will say: Then Miss Lin and a woman who was trafficked are sisters, what kind of woman is she?If the crown prince's uncle succeeds in ascending the throne and his father still holds a high position and authority, the world will say that Lin Shangshu is a family of good deeds and good deeds, pity the poor and cherish the weak, and the girls in his family are naturally good.
Look, the so-called reputation is important, but there are also many tricks in it.
Secondly, Daiyu had the experience of traveling through later generations, and she knew that men in later generations were not allowed to take concubines, and most men were also taught to treat the women they love with one heart and one mind from an early age.Although there will be no shortage of heartless people in later generations, but compared to the present, it is much better for men with better backgrounds to have concubines and concubines in their families.With my background, if I talk about relatives, I must be from a high family. How difficult is it to get a lover who is not second-guessing?With the experience of later generations and a full understanding of the current reality, Daiyu does not yearn for marriage in this life.
Lin Ruhai didn't know what shocking things the daughter was thinking at this moment, and said with a smile: "If the mother and daughter of the Feng family agree to this matter, let's do it like this. In the future, Yinglian will choose a good son-in-law, and Yu'er and Brother You will also have one more time." There is nothing wrong with helping relatives."
The matter was thus settled.On that day, Daiyu asked Feng's mother and daughter what they meant.The mother and daughter of the Feng family can only be overjoyed, apart from promises, they are grateful.
In the early morning of the next day, Daiyu sent her steward Ding to accompany Feng's mother and daughter back to Changmen. Although the Zhen family had already been burned, she should go back and have a look when she came back after entering Beijing.Renqing Lane, Shili Street, where Zhen's family is located has long been completely changed. The mother and daughter revisited the old place, and Zhen Shiyin disappeared, so there was a lot of sadness and joy.
But from then on, Yinglian is the adopted daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, she has her own future, and it can be regarded as the end of all hardships.
The mother and daughter burned paper at the former site of the Zhen family, paid homage to them, and told the ancestors of the Zhen family about their encounters over the years.Even the servants who accompanied Feng's mother and daughter back to Changmen heard this and shed tears.
Since then, Yinglian worshiped Lin Ruhai and his wife as adoptive father and adoptive mother. Even though she was a foster daughter, she was recorded in the Lin family tree. After the Lin family worshiped their ancestors carefully, they chose another auspicious time to board the ship and head north.It is the honor of the whole family that Master Hubu Shangshu went north to take office. Many of the children of the family who stayed in Suzhou that day went to the dock to see them off, and it was very lively.
In the previous life, when Daiyu went to Beijing, the Jia family sent several third-class servants to pick her up. At that time, the Jia family's mother-in-law worshiped the high and stepped on the low, and she knew that she was slightly restrained in front of Lin Ruhai, but as soon as she boarded the boat, she showed her true colors .Daiyu was originally weak, and it was her first time to take a boat, so she got seasick all the way, the servants of the Jia family not only didn't want to care about her, they even secretly said that the cousin girl was troublesome.
This time, Daiyu went north on the same boat with her parents and brothers, her father was promoted, and her mother and younger brother were well. Naturally, her mood was different.Perhaps it was because Daiyu had practiced martial arts for some time, perhaps it was because she was in a good mood, even though it was her first time in a boat in her life, she did not get seasick, Daiyu leaned against the window, admiring the scenery along the way, very happy.When I was very interested, I took a paintbrush to record the scenery on both sides of the strait.
Lin Ruhai and Lin You didn't get seasick because of their well-adjusted bodies.Jia Min was ill. Although he didn't die of an illness like in his previous life, he couldn't stand the turbulence of the boat, and he got very seasick in the first two days.Daiyu had already prepared anti-emetic foods such as sour plum and ginger for Jia Min to swallow. On the third day, Jia Min got used to it a little. lie down.
Because Jia Min felt uncomfortable on the boat, Lin Ruhai ordered the boat to slow down. When they arrived in a big town, when the boat docked for supplies, the family of four disembarked for a stroll. The ten-day journey took nearly a month. , When the family arrived in Xuzhou, the patrol team that set off a long time later than the Lin family also caught up with the Lin family's fleet.
The so-called Yuanjia road is narrow, and the patrol team is not detaining anyone else, but the Jiangning weaving weaving Zhen Yingjia who was brought down in the salt smuggling case this time.
Zhen Yingjia was wearing a crime at the moment, and she was not allowed to disembark in the cabin, but seeing the big banner of the Metropolitan Procuratorate hanging on the bow, she could tell who was being imprisoned on the boat.Besides, because this smuggling salt case is also related to local money, food and financial issues, there are officials from the household department accompanying him.When I see the private boat of the new minister, I always have to come over to salute and say hello.
The two fleets also moved around slightly when they were replenishing.
The Zhen family and the Lin family are deadly enemies.Lin Ruhai thought that although the Zhen family had been arrested, they did not find Fu Shi, so he asked the criminal officials who came to handle the case, if he could ask Zhen Yingjia a few words, accompanied by the yamen servants.Originally, this case was mainly handled by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but Lin Ruhai held the title of Yudu Yushi, so in order to avoid being avenged by others, he asked the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.
Even death row prisoners are allowed to visit the prison. Although Lin Ruhai asked to ask Zhen Yingjia a few words accompanied by the yamen servants during the escort, it naturally did not cross the line in the slightest, and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment agreed.He also said that if Mr. Shang Shu has something to ask, he doesn't need to be accompanied.
Although it's nothing to ask a criminal official a few private words from the Minister of the Household Department, Lin Ruhai insisted on avoiding suspicion, so he thanked the officials of the Ministry of Punishment for their kindness, and finally asked the patrol team to accompany him to meet Zhen Yingjia.
The second prince was only relieved of his errands, and he didn't even drop his title, he was still a prince. Although Zhen Yingjia was guilty, no one made things difficult for him.Although the prison ship had iron windows and iron doors, it was kept very clean inside. Judging by Zhen Yingjia's appearance, she should not have been beaten or treated harshly, but her whole body had lost its luster, as if she had been drained of energy.
Hearing someone open the cell door, Zhen Yingjia glanced at the door with empty eyes, and then Lin Ruhai saw a pair of eyes that were not very bright at first began to focus.Then shoot two venom from the original hole.
Zhen Yingjia recognized Lin Ruhai, and said with hatred and indifference: "Master Shangshu is proud of the spring breeze, why is he in such a hurry to get himself into a cage? Feng Shui turns around, Lord Shangshu, don't worry, there will be a time when you are like me in the future. "Although the tone was not high, and he didn't yell, but a few words expressed his hatred for Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai wasn't angry at all, but said flatly: "I'm here today, and I have something to ask Mr. Zhen, please don't hide it."
Lin Ruhai stood at the door, and Zhen Yingjia sat by the iron window. Hearing these words, Zhen Yingjia raised her head and looked at Lin Ruhai in disbelief.Obviously, Zhen Yingjia is not very comfortable with this title. Of course, Zhen Yingjia does not belong to Mr. Zhen, but Lin Ruhai is still willing to call him "Mr." for the rest of his life.Lin Ruhai neither showed off because of the disparity in their identities at the moment, nor cursed because of the vengeance of their son back then.But it was Lin Ruhai's calmness and victorious demeanor that made Zhen Yingjia furious.
"Hehe, why, Mr. Lin has just been promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and he wants to take the job of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments before he takes office? He has not entered Beijing, and he wants to interrogate me? What does Mr. Lin want to get from Zhen? , unless you bring instruments of torture." Zhen Yingjia gritted her teeth.
Lin Ruhai's expression remained unchanged, and he asked calmly, "Mr. Zhen, do you know where Fu Shi is?"
Sure enough, it was still out of revenge for harming his son, Zhen Yingjia suddenly laughed wildly, and said: "Lin Ruhai, I thought you were really extraordinary and dedicated to serving the public. It turns out that you still can't let go of personal grievances and avenge your private revenge! You are a sanctimonious hypocrite! Villain!" When it came to the word hypocrite, Zhen Yingjia hated it so much that she even spat at it after cursing.
Lin Ruhai didn't mind Zhen Yingjia scolding him a few words, and continued: "Mr. Zhen would be happy to see that Fu tried better than Mr.?"
Zhen Yingjia let out a 'bah', and said: "You want to find Fushi, but I won't let you do what you want, as long as you Lin Ruhai is not as you want, I will be happy!" After a pause, Zhen Yingjia said viciously: "Why didn't you What I hate the most is that Fu Shi is useless, but he didn't kill him!"
Lin Ruhai frowned, the heirs of the Lin family were weak, Zhen Yingjia cursed Lin You so much, how could Lin Ruhai not be angry.But he quickly regained his composure, as if that trace of elusive anger had never appeared before, and then Lin Ruhai smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Zhen, for clarifying the confusion."
When Lin Ruhai said something like this without beginning or end, Zhen Yingjia's face flashed a look of astonishment, as if to say: How did he know.
Only then did Lin Ruhai nod, and said, "Mr. Zhen looked confident when he said that he didn't want me to be happy. I think Fu Shi was hidden by Mr. Zhen in a place that Mr. Zhen thought was very safe."
After saying this, the look on Zhen Yingjia's face became even more astonished, and Lin Ruhai became more certain of her judgment.When Lin Ruhai said in the first game, "Thank you, Mr. Zhen, for clarifying the confusion", if Zhen Yingjia didn't know the whereabouts of Fu Shi, the expression on Zhen Yingjia's face should be wrong; Zhen Yingjia knew where Fu Shi was hiding.
Others may not check this kind of subtle expression changes on his face, but Lin Ruhai, who has been the Chancellor of Lantai Temple, can easily capture the information conveyed by such subtle expressions.Zhen Yingjia didn't know where her flaws were exposed, so Lin Ruhai thanked the little official who came with her, turned around and left.From the beginning to the end, he was humble and polite, and made people feel extraordinary.
Even though Zhen Yingjia hated Lin Ruhai very much, the word "Confucian General" flashed in her heart, and then she gave a ruthless pooh.
The main reason is that she can't be fooled. Miss Lin prepared the local meteorological records and the average yield per mu of various fields the first time she cleaned up the village herself. This is too ruthless.
Most of the properties of the Lin family are located in the capital and Jiangnan. The officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River has taken on a new look, so there is no need to be afraid of someone's deliberate retaliation, and because the managers of Zhuangzi and the shop still have to use them, there is no need to deal with these properties. The rent is collected, and the income is.
The furniture in the capital of the Lin family is ready-made, so there is no need to bring it.The most important things are all kinds of books, calligraphy and paintings, and the ranking of ancestors; then there are the land deeds of various industries, and the deeds of the servants; in addition, bring some clothes and soft clothes.After packing up like this, the things that need to be brought, except for dozens of cars of books, are not too many.
While Daiyu was packing up the things at home, she had already sent people back to Beijing to clean up the house.Because of returning to Beijing this time, there will be little chance to go back to the south in the future, and there are still some small things that need to be arranged.
In addition to packing their luggage, there were also a lot of people who came to the Lin family to congratulate them during this period of time.Lin Ruhai made the first contribution in the salt smuggling case, and was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. In Jiangnan, there is no other moment in the limelight, so naturally there are many people who come to curry favor.
After two years, many people in the south of the Yangtze River knew that the Lin family was in charge of the center, and it was Miss Lin who took care of the inner curtains. Not only did no one despise Daiyu, but they were also quite flattering.Daiyu dealt with these things calmly, but it was a waste of time. Ever since her father received the transfer order, Daiyu had less time to practice martial arts.
However, although the time for practicing martial arts has been squeezed out, Daiyu is still satisfied with her current physical fitness.Since her health improved and her physical strength increased, Daiyu changed the way of walking in circles and began to practice martial arts, and she also pulled Lin You to practice together. Now she has persisted for more than a year.Now the two siblings are not only pale and rosy, but also rarely catch cold.
Daiyu knows that during the growth and development period, no matter what kind of exercise, it is necessary to pay attention to moderation. Excessive exercise will affect the development, so the daily practice time is not long. The original intention is to strengthen the physique. Now it seems that the effect is good.Daiyu didn't have to go into battle to kill the enemy, and Daiyu didn't expect to quickly practice like a female warrior.
Even if she doesn't have the physical fitness of a female warrior, Daiyu's physique is much stronger than in her previous life. At least she receives visitors every day, checks the account books, directs packing luggage, etc. After being busy all day long, Daiyu doesn't feel tired at all.
Since most of the luggage that needs to be brought into the capital are books, Daiyu does not intend to ask the escort to enter the capital by water.Although boating on the canal is safe most of the time, there are occasional water bandits in some remote sections of the river.
After the people on the boat fell into the water, they came out. The water bandits who pretended to be local farmers and fishermen came out.Because the water bandits who dig the boat are very good at water, they can swim far away after cutting half of the bottom of the boat, often failing to catch people.
In this way, the half-cut boat will not be flooded on the spot, and it can often go on for a period of time. After the owner of the boat discovers that the bottom of the boat is leaking, there will be no shadow of the boat cutter.As for those who are waiting to blackmail and save people on the shore, they just dress up as ordinary villagers.These people are willing to save people only after seeing the money. The owner of the ship is anxious to survive, and most of them will agree to pay high labor fees.In fact, the shipwrecker and the rescuer are the same team. They work together and work together. Not only do they get a lot of money, but they often also get a lot of thanks from the shipowner.
Not only are water bandits not easy to be caught by the government for doing such a business, but they are even regarded as good people who help others.
Until one time, I met a very careful scholar who was going to Beijing to rush for an exam. Because he was afraid of making mistakes on the way, he would check everything carefully before leaving.Even the boats used have been carefully inspected and repaired, so there will be no water leakage during the sailing.
After the scholar became a Taoist, he was rescued by the water bandits. Although he was paid, he hired another person to salvage the sunken ship after the water bandits left. After carefully inspecting the bottom of the ship, he saw that the bottom plate of the ship had been cut in half by a sharp weapon, so the case was solved. .
After the scholar solved the case, the imperial court cleaned up the law and order of the canal twice, and there were fewer water bandits on the canal. If she usually went to Beijing, Daiyu would choose the waterway to save money.But this time when the Lin family came to Beijing, there were dozens of carts of books, calligraphy and paintings, and many orphaned copies. If they were overturned into the river, the loss would be immeasurable.
Therefore, Daiyu chose to pack the books with oilcloth first, and then put them into camphor wood boxes to load them into the car. She ordered the steward who had handled the affairs properly to take her servants and nurses, and hired a reputable escort to escort them to Beijing by dry road.In addition, the four aunts of the Lin family also followed the convoy one step ahead.
After waiting for about another month, the new Lianghuai Salt Transport Envoy arrived, and Lin Ruhai handed over to him before taking his family to Suzhou.
Although Lin Ruhai didn't return to his hometown very often, every time he returned, he returned home in good clothes, and this time he was promoted to the Minister of the Household Department, which was even more beautiful.Not to mention that everyone from the Lin family came to congratulate, even Lin Mu's family who had been refuted by Daiyu before; Yao Guoan, the governor of Jiangnan, and Fan Guangxi, the governor of Jiangsu, were also present.
No matter how rich and prosperous the south of the Yangtze River is, there are many times when the imperial court is required to allocate funds. No one who is a local official wants to offend the Minister of the Household Department.As for Fan Guangxi, he was in charge of the money and valley issues in Suzhou and several nearby counties, and he was directly responsible to the imperial court. It was the Ministry of Household Affairs who connected upwards, and Lin Ruhai was his immediate boss.
So even though Daiyu and Mrs. Fan's mother and daughter had an unpleasant quarrel at Governor Yao's house last time, the Fan family still wanted to come and walk.It's just that Fan Shi was very arrogant in the end, knowing that Daiyu was in charge of the Lin family, who was in charge of the Zhongfu, and received guests. If he came, he would have to meet him, so he said that he hadn't arrived yet because of his illness.
Mrs. Fan is here. Even if there was an unpleasant scene last time, the Fan family can't put on a gesture of being far away from the Lin family.Even so, on the way Mrs. Fan came, her heart was pounding, and she said to Fan Guangxi in the car: "Master, I heard that the girl in the Lin family is now the director. Last time, Shi'er offended the girl of the Lin family. Family, will it refute our family's face again?"
After all, Fan Guangxi was a local official, and his status was much higher than that of Mrs. Fan. He said, "What are you worried about? How can it be so easy to take care of a book in the family. It is said that Miss Lin has been the director for two years. Yes, but I haven't heard of any disrespectful or offending people. It can be seen that she is considerate. Miss Ruolin is really a little girl, and Lin Shangshu was the first to be worried about entrusting these many things to her.
But you, the youngest child is older than Miss Lin, so you care about a girl.Just because you are worried about Miss Lin making things difficult for you today, you will be left behind.Shi'er has been learning Zhongfu from you for several years, but she is still self-willed. "
Mrs. Fan scolded for nothing and blushed immediately.He thought to himself: That girl from the Lin family has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, how could she be as thoughtful as you said.However, the conflict with Daiyu last time was the matter of Mr. Fan's family. Fan Guangxi was upset because his wife and daughter had offended Shang Shuqian, so Mrs. Fan didn't dare to say anything.
Mrs. Fan came to the Lin Mansion with a heart in her heart, but she saw that Daiyu treated her no differently from other visiting wives, as if what happened last time had never happened, and she didn't blame herself at all, only then did she realize that what her master said was right right.The last time Miss Lin was not forgiving, it was because she argued with reason; this time she didn't make things difficult because of what happened last time, it was because she was magnanimous.This is what a real lady should have in her advances and retreats.Only in this way can we take care of a book in the family and maintain contacts.
Even Mrs. Fan always felt that Fan Shi was outstanding, but compared with Miss Lin, Mrs. Fan had to admit that her own Shi'er was far from Daiyu's.
After returning home from the Lin family, Mrs. Fan's attitude changed, and she said to Fan Guangxi: "As the master said, Miss Lin really didn't mention the previous incident at all, not only didn't she mention it, she didn't even look unhappy. On weekdays I heard people say that a prime minister can pull a boat in his belly, but I think this Shangshuqianjin can also pull a boat in his belly."
After Fan Guangxi heard this, although he didn't say anything, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Even Mr. Lin's eight-year-old daughter is so rich, I think Mr. Lin is easy to get along with.
Mrs. Fan saw that Miss Lin was mentioned this time, and she didn't offend her husband anymore, so she tried to say: "Master, how about I ask someone to come in for our house and talk about Miss Lin?"
Fan Guangxi was taken aback by these words, and said: "What are you fantasizing about? Mr. Lin is the official residence of the Minister, and Miss Lin is the eldest daughter, so our family can't climb up to Guangxi. Besides, Jin'er is no better than Miss Lin." A few years older, Master Lin and his wife must be unwilling."
Mrs. Fan gave birth to two sons and a daughter. The eldest son, Fan Yuan, who is sixteen this year, is already engaged.The second son Fan Jin and the youngest daughter Fan Shi are twins, both 12 years old.She was four years older than Daiyu, although it was not very suitable, it was not too much older.Besides, although Miss Lin is outstanding, Mrs. Fan thinks her son is also good.
So Mrs. Fan said: "Don't belittle us Jin'er too much. Men are not like daughters. As long as Jin'er is willing to make progress, he may not be able to be a high-ranking official in the future when he becomes an official. Left and right Jin'er will be admitted to Beijing for the exam. I wrote to Let the lady say it, and the lady will test it out. It doesn’t matter if it succeeds or not.”
After Fan Guangxi heard these words, Fang Zheng became pale.
To say that Fan Guangxi has twins under his knees, Fan Jin, the second son of the direct line, is indeed smart, steady, and extremely motivated.Now that he is twelve years old, the husband said that he is ready to test the waters.Regardless of whether he can be a child student this time, it is already outstanding if he dares to end at this age.On the other hand, Fan Shi, although he and Fan Jin are twins, they are unruly and willful, and their temperaments are quite different.
The empress that Mrs. Fan was talking about was Concubine Zhong.Affected by this private salt case, Concubine Zhen was demoted to Concubine Zhen, and the right to assist the Six Palaces was also withdrawn.But the harem cannot be dominated by Concubine Zhou's family. Although Concubine Zhong has not been promoted to the throne, she has received the benefits of being an assistant to the Sixth Palace, and is now enjoying a prosperous life.
When Mrs. Fan's Zhong's brothers were hunting in Iron Net Mountain, they were dismissed from their errands because of their disrespect in front of the imperial court.But after all, the bodyguard Zhong was responsible for the Ninth Prince's troubles, so even if little concubine Zhong could compensate or win over, it would be reasonable to test the attitude of the Lin family on behalf of Mrs. Fan.
More importantly, if this is done, the interests of the Lin family and the Fan family will be tied together.When the time comes, it will be hard to say whether Lin Ruhai, Minister of the Household Department, will be on the side of the elder sister, the princess, or the daughter.As far as Concubine Yu Xiaozhong is concerned, she is definitely willing to complete this matter.
The point is that Concubine Zhong is planning for Aizi, if she intends to use power to facilitate this matter, it will be unbeautiful instead.It's okay for the Lin family to submit, but if the Lin family insists on refusing to form this relationship, wouldn't they be offended?Besides, there is no precedent for giving marriages in this dynasty. Even if marriages are given, both men and women are willing to seek dignity together.
Fan Guangxi had already figured out the pros and cons within a few breaths, and said: "Tell me, this matter is likely to happen nine times out of ten, so don't fantasize about it. Besides, how old is Miss Lin? If Miss Lin is really as good as you said, How can Mrs. Lin and his wife agree to let him go early?" Then he analyzed the benefits and benefits to Mrs. Fan: "If the empress only has a try, it's fine to let it go if it doesn't work; if the empress is too aggressive in this matter in order to win over the Lin family , must be self-defeating."
Mrs. Fan agreed on the surface, but she didn't know what was going on in her heart.
On the other hand, Daiyu didn't know that someone had already made an idea of her marriage. The Lin family chose an auspicious day to worship their ancestors. When preparing many sacrifices, Daiyu suddenly thought of something, so she discussed with her parents, It's better to take Yinglian as a righteous daughter.
Jia Min listened, pondered and said: "Yinglian was originally the daughter of a good family, and she has been with us for more than a year. I think she is a good child; even her mother, Feng Shi, is also a person who knows what is good and what is wrong. If she hadn't experienced being kidnapped by a kidnapper, it wouldn't be a bad thing for me to have one more daughter, but with this incident, I'm afraid it will affect Yu'er's future in the future."
Asking Yinglian to accompany Daiyu, the Lin family has already considered supporting Yinglian; but as sisters, the nature is different.In this era, the reputation of a girl's family will be implicated by her sisters.
But Daiyu said: "Mother is worrying too much. The abduction was not the fault of Sister Yinglian. How can we treat the victim harshly? Besides, Changmen is under the jurisdiction of Suzhou, so it is very close to here." Well, when Mrs. Feng's mother and daughter arrived in their hometown, if their reputations were not right, wouldn't they go to Beijing with us instead of returning to their hometown to settle down? This would be even more detrimental to their mother and daughter's reputation.
But if Mrs. Feng brings Yinglian back to her hometown, and there is no man in the family to make decisions, Mrs. Feng still has to rely on her elder brother, and she will go to the tiger's mouth.Moreover, Sister Yinglian is at such an age, with such good looks, that she is approaching the age of marriage. After losing her support, Sister Yinglian doesn't know what kind of family she can talk about in a hurry. Who can I rely on?If my father and mother had adopted Yinglian as a foster daughter, it would be justifiable for sister Yinglian to follow us to Beijing, and I would also have many older sisters. "
When Jia Min heard this, he laughed, "You are very thoughtful." Then he turned to Lin Ruhai and said, "It's hard for us, Yu'er, to be so kind-hearted, and to make so many plans for a mother and daughter who are helpless."
Lin Ruhai looked at Daiyu with a smile on his face and said, "Yu'er, did you think about this matter long ago, but it's only at this moment that you choose to talk about it?"
Daiyu didn't deny it either, and nodded with a smile.In the previous life, Daiyu saw the sisters who were as beautiful as flowers and jade, how miserable it was after losing her support. In this life, she has the ability to protect one or two of the sisters in the previous life, and there is nothing wrong with it.
As for being hurt by Yinglian's past, Daiyu didn't care at all.For one thing, as long as the father is safe and the brothers are motivated, the only daughters of the Shangshu Mansion who are prostitutes can only step over the threshold and be asked to marry.The so-called girl has nothing wrong with herself, but her reputation has been brought down by so-and-so, which is often an excuse for the man to look down on the woman's family background; if the woman's family background is outstanding, the world will change the excuse.
Take the matter of adopting Yinglian as an example, if the Lin family falls in the future, the world will say: Then Miss Lin and a woman who was trafficked are sisters, what kind of woman is she?If the crown prince's uncle succeeds in ascending the throne and his father still holds a high position and authority, the world will say that Lin Shangshu is a family of good deeds and good deeds, pity the poor and cherish the weak, and the girls in his family are naturally good.
Look, the so-called reputation is important, but there are also many tricks in it.
Secondly, Daiyu had the experience of traveling through later generations, and she knew that men in later generations were not allowed to take concubines, and most men were also taught to treat the women they love with one heart and one mind from an early age.Although there will be no shortage of heartless people in later generations, but compared to the present, it is much better for men with better backgrounds to have concubines and concubines in their families.With my background, if I talk about relatives, I must be from a high family. How difficult is it to get a lover who is not second-guessing?With the experience of later generations and a full understanding of the current reality, Daiyu does not yearn for marriage in this life.
Lin Ruhai didn't know what shocking things the daughter was thinking at this moment, and said with a smile: "If the mother and daughter of the Feng family agree to this matter, let's do it like this. In the future, Yinglian will choose a good son-in-law, and Yu'er and Brother You will also have one more time." There is nothing wrong with helping relatives."
The matter was thus settled.On that day, Daiyu asked Feng's mother and daughter what they meant.The mother and daughter of the Feng family can only be overjoyed, apart from promises, they are grateful.
In the early morning of the next day, Daiyu sent her steward Ding to accompany Feng's mother and daughter back to Changmen. Although the Zhen family had already been burned, she should go back and have a look when she came back after entering Beijing.Renqing Lane, Shili Street, where Zhen's family is located has long been completely changed. The mother and daughter revisited the old place, and Zhen Shiyin disappeared, so there was a lot of sadness and joy.
But from then on, Yinglian is the adopted daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, she has her own future, and it can be regarded as the end of all hardships.
The mother and daughter burned paper at the former site of the Zhen family, paid homage to them, and told the ancestors of the Zhen family about their encounters over the years.Even the servants who accompanied Feng's mother and daughter back to Changmen heard this and shed tears.
Since then, Yinglian worshiped Lin Ruhai and his wife as adoptive father and adoptive mother. Even though she was a foster daughter, she was recorded in the Lin family tree. After the Lin family worshiped their ancestors carefully, they chose another auspicious time to board the ship and head north.It is the honor of the whole family that Master Hubu Shangshu went north to take office. Many of the children of the family who stayed in Suzhou that day went to the dock to see them off, and it was very lively.
In the previous life, when Daiyu went to Beijing, the Jia family sent several third-class servants to pick her up. At that time, the Jia family's mother-in-law worshiped the high and stepped on the low, and she knew that she was slightly restrained in front of Lin Ruhai, but as soon as she boarded the boat, she showed her true colors .Daiyu was originally weak, and it was her first time to take a boat, so she got seasick all the way, the servants of the Jia family not only didn't want to care about her, they even secretly said that the cousin girl was troublesome.
This time, Daiyu went north on the same boat with her parents and brothers, her father was promoted, and her mother and younger brother were well. Naturally, her mood was different.Perhaps it was because Daiyu had practiced martial arts for some time, perhaps it was because she was in a good mood, even though it was her first time in a boat in her life, she did not get seasick, Daiyu leaned against the window, admiring the scenery along the way, very happy.When I was very interested, I took a paintbrush to record the scenery on both sides of the strait.
Lin Ruhai and Lin You didn't get seasick because of their well-adjusted bodies.Jia Min was ill. Although he didn't die of an illness like in his previous life, he couldn't stand the turbulence of the boat, and he got very seasick in the first two days.Daiyu had already prepared anti-emetic foods such as sour plum and ginger for Jia Min to swallow. On the third day, Jia Min got used to it a little. lie down.
Because Jia Min felt uncomfortable on the boat, Lin Ruhai ordered the boat to slow down. When they arrived in a big town, when the boat docked for supplies, the family of four disembarked for a stroll. The ten-day journey took nearly a month. , When the family arrived in Xuzhou, the patrol team that set off a long time later than the Lin family also caught up with the Lin family's fleet.
The so-called Yuanjia road is narrow, and the patrol team is not detaining anyone else, but the Jiangning weaving weaving Zhen Yingjia who was brought down in the salt smuggling case this time.
Zhen Yingjia was wearing a crime at the moment, and she was not allowed to disembark in the cabin, but seeing the big banner of the Metropolitan Procuratorate hanging on the bow, she could tell who was being imprisoned on the boat.Besides, because this smuggling salt case is also related to local money, food and financial issues, there are officials from the household department accompanying him.When I see the private boat of the new minister, I always have to come over to salute and say hello.
The two fleets also moved around slightly when they were replenishing.
The Zhen family and the Lin family are deadly enemies.Lin Ruhai thought that although the Zhen family had been arrested, they did not find Fu Shi, so he asked the criminal officials who came to handle the case, if he could ask Zhen Yingjia a few words, accompanied by the yamen servants.Originally, this case was mainly handled by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but Lin Ruhai held the title of Yudu Yushi, so in order to avoid being avenged by others, he asked the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.
Even death row prisoners are allowed to visit the prison. Although Lin Ruhai asked to ask Zhen Yingjia a few words accompanied by the yamen servants during the escort, it naturally did not cross the line in the slightest, and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment agreed.He also said that if Mr. Shang Shu has something to ask, he doesn't need to be accompanied.
Although it's nothing to ask a criminal official a few private words from the Minister of the Household Department, Lin Ruhai insisted on avoiding suspicion, so he thanked the officials of the Ministry of Punishment for their kindness, and finally asked the patrol team to accompany him to meet Zhen Yingjia.
The second prince was only relieved of his errands, and he didn't even drop his title, he was still a prince. Although Zhen Yingjia was guilty, no one made things difficult for him.Although the prison ship had iron windows and iron doors, it was kept very clean inside. Judging by Zhen Yingjia's appearance, she should not have been beaten or treated harshly, but her whole body had lost its luster, as if she had been drained of energy.
Hearing someone open the cell door, Zhen Yingjia glanced at the door with empty eyes, and then Lin Ruhai saw a pair of eyes that were not very bright at first began to focus.Then shoot two venom from the original hole.
Zhen Yingjia recognized Lin Ruhai, and said with hatred and indifference: "Master Shangshu is proud of the spring breeze, why is he in such a hurry to get himself into a cage? Feng Shui turns around, Lord Shangshu, don't worry, there will be a time when you are like me in the future. "Although the tone was not high, and he didn't yell, but a few words expressed his hatred for Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai wasn't angry at all, but said flatly: "I'm here today, and I have something to ask Mr. Zhen, please don't hide it."
Lin Ruhai stood at the door, and Zhen Yingjia sat by the iron window. Hearing these words, Zhen Yingjia raised her head and looked at Lin Ruhai in disbelief.Obviously, Zhen Yingjia is not very comfortable with this title. Of course, Zhen Yingjia does not belong to Mr. Zhen, but Lin Ruhai is still willing to call him "Mr." for the rest of his life.Lin Ruhai neither showed off because of the disparity in their identities at the moment, nor cursed because of the vengeance of their son back then.But it was Lin Ruhai's calmness and victorious demeanor that made Zhen Yingjia furious.
"Hehe, why, Mr. Lin has just been promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and he wants to take the job of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments before he takes office? He has not entered Beijing, and he wants to interrogate me? What does Mr. Lin want to get from Zhen? , unless you bring instruments of torture." Zhen Yingjia gritted her teeth.
Lin Ruhai's expression remained unchanged, and he asked calmly, "Mr. Zhen, do you know where Fu Shi is?"
Sure enough, it was still out of revenge for harming his son, Zhen Yingjia suddenly laughed wildly, and said: "Lin Ruhai, I thought you were really extraordinary and dedicated to serving the public. It turns out that you still can't let go of personal grievances and avenge your private revenge! You are a sanctimonious hypocrite! Villain!" When it came to the word hypocrite, Zhen Yingjia hated it so much that she even spat at it after cursing.
Lin Ruhai didn't mind Zhen Yingjia scolding him a few words, and continued: "Mr. Zhen would be happy to see that Fu tried better than Mr.?"
Zhen Yingjia let out a 'bah', and said: "You want to find Fushi, but I won't let you do what you want, as long as you Lin Ruhai is not as you want, I will be happy!" After a pause, Zhen Yingjia said viciously: "Why didn't you What I hate the most is that Fu Shi is useless, but he didn't kill him!"
Lin Ruhai frowned, the heirs of the Lin family were weak, Zhen Yingjia cursed Lin You so much, how could Lin Ruhai not be angry.But he quickly regained his composure, as if that trace of elusive anger had never appeared before, and then Lin Ruhai smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Zhen, for clarifying the confusion."
When Lin Ruhai said something like this without beginning or end, Zhen Yingjia's face flashed a look of astonishment, as if to say: How did he know.
Only then did Lin Ruhai nod, and said, "Mr. Zhen looked confident when he said that he didn't want me to be happy. I think Fu Shi was hidden by Mr. Zhen in a place that Mr. Zhen thought was very safe."
After saying this, the look on Zhen Yingjia's face became even more astonished, and Lin Ruhai became more certain of her judgment.When Lin Ruhai said in the first game, "Thank you, Mr. Zhen, for clarifying the confusion", if Zhen Yingjia didn't know the whereabouts of Fu Shi, the expression on Zhen Yingjia's face should be wrong; Zhen Yingjia knew where Fu Shi was hiding.
Others may not check this kind of subtle expression changes on his face, but Lin Ruhai, who has been the Chancellor of Lantai Temple, can easily capture the information conveyed by such subtle expressions.Zhen Yingjia didn't know where her flaws were exposed, so Lin Ruhai thanked the little official who came with her, turned around and left.From the beginning to the end, he was humble and polite, and made people feel extraordinary.
Even though Zhen Yingjia hated Lin Ruhai very much, the word "Confucian General" flashed in her heart, and then she gave a ruthless pooh.
