Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

The heat outside the house was still hot, but inside the house Lin Hai and Jia She didn't feel too hot while guarding the ice basin.

"Ruhai, I just came from Brother Jing. Congratulations to you first."

"Enhou, to tell you the truth, Brother Jing and Yizhong talked about it."

"Hehe, you let him go by himself, see if Yizhong believes in his words? To be honest, what you said earlier is right, Yizhong is based on your identity. Hey, Ruhai, I may give you Wen Dinghou now , the position of the prince?"

"It's not hereditary, so it doesn't make much sense."

"I came to you to talk about this. If Fansen knew that you were going to adopt Yuer's second son as Miner's heir, do you think he would work harder for the hereditary marquis?"

"Enhou, you have to think about it carefully. Don't let the sage misunderstand us. This is one. Another Ji is pregnant with twins. At this time, it is revealed that Yu'er's second son is going to be adopted by the eldest son. , and the hereditary title, I'm afraid something will happen to her." Lin Hai pondered for a while before slowly speaking, "If it's just a simple family property, it's a good balance. But if it's a hereditary title, Marquis En, I'm afraid of Ji, Chen'er If you have an idea, then the gain outweighs the loss.”

Jia She nodded. Lin Hai could think of being Min'er's step-grandson, or his niece's son as the eldest son, which shows that he is a long-term lover.If you can think about Min'er, then you will think about Ji now. They have been husband and wife for more than ten years.Alas, Ji has already given birth to her second son, and she is pregnant with twins again, will she...

"After passing this village, there is no such shop."

"Enhou, the friendship between Fansen and Jinshang, no matter how good it is, is limited. You have to save it."

"Okay. It's up to you. Anyway, your son can study well."

When it comes to reading, Jia She lost the interest he had when he came and was a little frustrated.Cong'er doesn't look stupid at all, the number one scholar is enlightened, and he is studying in Zhang's house.But Zhang Yu told him a while ago that it would not be too early for this child to pass the examination, and it would be even later if he wanted to win the Jinshi.But Cong'er, he had thought about it a long time ago, and he wasn't qualified to join the army.It can't be said that in the future, being able to mix like the second child will be a high incense.

"Ruhai, Xue's family chose Baoyu's wedding date in October. Baoyu passed both the county and government exams. Lan'er failed the government exam."

"Jialan is still young, so I will take the exam in two years. There is a three-year gap in studying, and there is a lot of effort. Before the age of 20, you can be a scholar."

Jia She curled her lips, "Isn't it too late?"

"The foundation is solid. Although it is late to be a scholar, it will pass the autumn immediately, and it will only take three to five years to be nominated for a Jinshi. If the seedlings are encouraged in the past, and you will be a scholar at the twelfth or third, you will not be able to be elected at the age of 30. After a few years of wasting, you will lose your heart. Either for the screen, or for the official."

Jia She nodded, "You know a lot about these things. I don't think Lan'er has passed, so I'm worried about Cong'er."

Jia Cong's spirituality in reading is so-so, and Lin Hai knew it a long time ago.

"Enhou, Jinshi can't force you to come. Cong'er, finding an official after being elected is also a way out."

Jia She thought to himself, you, Lin Hai, may be worthless after you recognize your son-in-law, so you can only go to this extent.

"Ruhai, Brother Jing said that Zhen'er and his wife are sick. It's hot."

"How long have you been sick?"

"What happened yesterday has worsened today. I didn't see anyone when I went there."

"So powerful?! Jia Zhen is in her prime, a summer heat, it's nothing." Lin Hai really didn't think much at this time.

Jia She's eyes were dark, "He has been unrestrained all these years, no matter how good his background is, he has almost got rid of it. He may not be as strong as Brother Jing."

That's right, Jia Jing rode horses, rode cars, and crossed mountains and mountains with himself all the way, and he didn't see the slightest bit of dejection.It can be seen that when I was young, my foundation was not less physical.

Lin Hai listened to Jia Jing talking about scriptures and alchemy, and Jia Jing explained the unilateral side in detail, but in fact he rarely took pills.In his words, if he wants to become a fairy so easily, Taoist priests who come to him to make a living, don't know how many saints and princes they can eat to become gods.

Is it true that Jia Jing died suddenly because of taking elixir?

"Baoyu, that jade?"

"I gave it to an expert. From now on, the two of us don't have to worry about it anymore."

"What kind of expert?" With Lin Hai's approval, Jia Amnesty was aroused.

"Buddha said it cannot be said." Lin Hai was unpredictable.

"Tch." Jia She curled his lips, "You know what's in your mind, so I can rest assured."

He stood up and said, "I'm going back, I'm going to the Beijing camp tomorrow. You and brother Jing will have to wait for the reward."

"Okay, thank you brother for reminding."

Seeing off Jia Amnesty, Lin Hai saw that it was getting late, so he rested in the study.

Lin Hai happily rested at home.Taking advantage of the heat in the morning and evening, walk with Mrs. Ji and chat.In the morning, I took the children to practice boxing and fencing together. After the children went to school, I played the piano and played chess with Daiyu in the morning.In the afternoon, sort out the chores in the Zhuangzi shop at home, and ask them clearly.In the evening, I took my three sons with me and watched them happily scurrying and frolicking like fish in the small lake.In a few days of effort, the three boys became darker by one shade.

"Daddy, mother won't let us play in the water." Lin Min didn't want to come out every day after getting into the water, and he couldn't get enough of it.

"Your mother is too heavy to take care of the three of you."

"It's good that Daddy is at home every day."

Lin Hai lifted Lin Min out of the water, and slapped him on the buttocks, "Go and flush the water, and get dressed. If Daddy doesn't go to work, where's the money to buy rice?"

Several buckets of water were prepared in the small pavilion, and the three boys laughed and laughed, you scooped water to splash me, I scooped water to splash you, and played for a long time.After enough trouble, I went to get dressed and went back to have dinner with my father.

When Lin Hai returned to the cabinet, the Minister of the Household Department sized him up and said, "Ru Hai, what kind of panacea did you take when you went to the northwest?"

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is close to his retirement age. Looking at Lin Hai's face, he said enviously: "Look at Master Lin's expression, there was still some hesitation between the brows before, but now the Yintang is clean and clean, not stained with a trace of dust, and there is a faint redness." Guang, Lord Lin should have a great blessing today."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was only 60 years old. Hearing Song Shangshu's words, he carefully looked at Lin Hai's face and praised: "Old Song's physiognomy has never been wrong. Master Lin, if something good happens, please invite us to drink."

These bigwigs in the cabinet all know that they are very satisfied with Lin Hai and Jia Jing's trip to the northwest. The longer the reward is held, the higher the reward will be.But the reason for the postponement of the reward was guessed by several people, but none of them figured it out. Maybe only Cheng Yin, Jinshang's confidant, knows.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials did not want to ask Cheng Yin about such a matter.For many years, he has always been loyal to the saint, neutral, and not forming a party with anyone. He did not want to leave troubles for his descendants in the last ten years when he was about to retire.From now on, with Lin Hai, he can be the second assistant as well as the first assistant. He thinks it's best if he can get along well, but if he can't, it's okay if the relationship is mediocre, as long as there is no enmity.

Fortunately, Lin Hai has a gentle personality. Although he is serious in his work, he is not aggressive and takes power for nothing. He is easier to get along with than Chen Shangshu.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials calculated that within five years, half of the positions in the cabinet could be poured out.Hu Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, and Song Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry are all approaching the age of becoming official.There are servants in these three departments, waiting behind to take the position of Shangshu.I and Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice can endure for a few more years, but should I sell it to Jinshang and retire with them, or should Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites retire earlier?Cheng Yin has been serving as Minister of the Ministry of Officials for eight years.The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was calculating his own private affairs, let alone whether he would retire early, giving Cheng Yin more authority in the future was the right thing to do.

He made up his mind and got along with Lin Hai in a friendly manner.

The current cabinet ministers can be said to be the ones who have gotten along most harmoniously in the past few decades.They can work together when they have something to do, and they seldom form gangs to tear each other down.

When it was time to go up today, several elders in the cabinet who were over 60 years old had been discussing Lin Hai's complexion for a while.Lin Hai smiled tepidly and joked with them.He had already discovered that his complexion was very good. The root cause was that he had found the patriarch, and he no longer felt uneasy.All the negative and timid emotions that weighed heavily on his heart in the past, such as the shrinking from the imperial power, the solemnity of the monk, the helplessness of the police, all the negative and timid emotions, have been stripped from him.He somewhat recovered some of that kind of state of mind in which the world is big and the earth is big, I do not violate the rules of heaven, and no one can do anything to me.

Born from the heart, Lin Hai's state of mind was clearly shown on his face.

Imakami and the cabinet members have unified the daily tasks.Then he said to everyone: "Marquis Rong En, Lord Lin and Lord Jia, the matter in the northwest has been handled very well this time. I want to give the fifth Marquis of Rong Enhou, Lord Lin and Lord Jia the Marquis, what do you love? ?”

The Minister of the Household Department said: "The sage should reward the meritorious officials. Even if the Household Department is not rich, coupled with the loyalty of the prince, this adds a large amount of expenditure every year. The funeral of the imperial concubine should be simplified."

"Yi Li, the Supreme Emperor is here, and the funeral of the Grand Concubine should be kept simple." Lin Hai spoke from the perspective of etiquette.

Immediately nodded, "The imperial mausoleum is already in place, and there is nothing more to throw away."

Today's words set the tone for Concubine Zhen's upcoming funeral.Concubine Zhen Taigui was confiscated from her natal family, and her elder brother and all her nephews were deprived of their official positions, so she vomited and fell ill.Although the emperor pleaded for mercy, the emperor also agreed to a lighter punishment.But from being aloof for decades, she became a commoner all of a sudden, and three generations were not allowed to leave her hometown for scientific research. Concubine Zhen could not accept that her natal family would never recover from a slump and became impoverished.After falling ill, no matter how many decoctions and medicines were used, there was no slight improvement. Now it has been day by day.

The Minister of the Household Department proposed that the Household Department had no money left, and Lin Hai proposed the rules of etiquette and that the funeral of Concubine Zhen should not be grandly arranged.

Seeing today that the cabinet has reached an agreement on Concubine Zhen's funeral, she said slowly: "The Supreme Master said that Concubine Zhen's only wish is to return Prince Zhongshun to the throne, but I can't find any good reason. After all, it was because of his reckless disregard for human life that he severely injured a few half-grown children, and then cruelly threw them into the snow to freeze to death, and then took the throne from the prince. Dear friends, do you have any good reason to reset him?"

Several people shook their heads, none of them were loyal people.There is no reason!No one knows the enmity between Zhongshun and Jinshang.

Therefore, the restoration of Zhongshun was put aside.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments suggested: "The children of the clan often do illegal things. Saint, can you let the Zongling strictly discipline and urge the children of the clan to abide by the law?"

"A prince's crime is the same as that of the people. If there is a person like Zhongshun, Wang Shangshu can order the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to report to me. The imperial order protects the children of the clan, making them more and more unlawful. In the future It's not impossible for those who should be demoted or seized, otherwise the disciples will lose all face."

Today, I have never had any friendship with those in the clan.
