Rebirth of the forest sister of the Red Chamber

Lin Ruhai has served as the censor of salt for many years. In the past, the old emperor rewarded 100 taels of gold to show his favor, but this year is quite different from previous years.

The emperor's black and white mustaches are intertwined. On the Nine Dragons imperial case is a document for the above-mentioned Lin Ruhai to adopt the step-heir of the Jinyiwei envoy. He pointed at this document with his index finger and chuckled: "Dai Quan'er, look at this Lin Ruhai. A family business, the accumulation of four generations of lords is cheaper than an outsider."

Dai Quan, who is known as the inner minister, has only a voice in front of this man. He dare not try to figure out what the emperor means, but if he doesn't try to figure it out, he is the one who is most likely to die. He can only purse his lips, take a light step, and kneel down : "The old slave dare not speak nonsense."

The emperor flicked his sleeves, and his eyes were a little dazed: "Get up, I didn't ask you, but this Lin Ruhai is a bit interesting, let him come back this year to give a report, let's see how he does it." I don't know what to think, and sighed again Tone: "It's hard to find someone to pick up."

It's fine to arrange for someone to enter the palace, but Dai Quan didn't dare to say anything about this court matter. Dai Quan stood up and stood aside with his head bowed.

When Lin Ruhai came back, did he just report on his duties and continue to take over, or did he stay and become a high-ranking civil servant after completing his duties?If you stay, who will pick you up?

The emperor pondered for a while, and after a while, he wrote down an imperial decree and threw it directly to Dai Quan: "Give this to Lin Ruhai."

Dai Quan hurriedly took it, knelt down and bid farewell, then turned around and ran to the eunuch who delivered the order.

Did Lin Ruhai not think of this?No, he can naturally imagine that a family that has been passed down for five generations is now going to have an heir, and the huge family business will be handed over to Lin Heng to inherit, it is not just a casual adoption.There are emperors on the top, clans in the middle, and in-laws in the bottom. There are so many Jinyiwei envoys on the emperor's side, and they will know without notice. The clans used nearly 10 taels of sacrifice fields and Zhuangzi to let them do things. Finished, on the side of the in-laws, Mother Jia must have not heard the news.

As soon as the imperial decree came out, everyone in the world knew that Lin Ruhai, the emperor's confidant who had been in charge of salt inspection for nearly ten years, was going to Beijing to report on his duties.

The prince and the few princes who were about to make a move were all stupid. They still wanted to take advantage of Lin Ruhai's position as the censor of Yanyan, and they wanted to join forces with several families to make a move, either to fight for some money, or to arrange a few connections. Good thing, once the emperor's first imperial decree came out, they were a little dizzy.

When the second imperial decree came out, they couldn't bear it: half a year later, Jing Xiaolin, the governor of Jinyiwei, took over the salt censor, and the two deputies of the patrol salt censor were the prince's nanny Tian Jiawen. , one is Zhen Rong, the brother-in-law of the third prince.

Jing Xiaolin, Lin Ruhai looked at the imperial brush on the document, and at the Jinyiwei standing in front of him. He was full of evil spirits, but he stood with his head bowed. He was wearing a tight red collar and black robe, with a red handle behind him. There is a bronze medal in the middle, with both hands hanging down, and the thick calluses can be seen in the good eyes.

"How is Master Jing?" Lin Ruhai's modest tone surprised the Jin Yiwei, but he stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency has always been in good health."

"That's good, you tell Mr. Jing that Lin is waiting for him here." Lin Ruhai tipped 100 taels of silver, and Jin Yiwei thanked him, turned around and left.

"Hahaha! He is thinking of me!" The crisp voice was like pearls falling on a jade plate.

In one side of the room, a young man with a weak crown was lying on a red sandalwood couch with carved five dragons spouting pearls covered with white tiger skin: long and narrow beautiful red phoenix eyes, thick and moderate willow eyebrows, a straight nose bridge, bright red thin lips, fair complexion, and black hair. Wearing a jade hairpin, wearing a royal blue silver silk swastika trimmed with a rolled brocade robe, wearing fox fur boots and stepping on tiger claws.

He knelt down on one knee to meet Lin Ruhai's envoy in Jinyi.

"Pass the order down, let Zhen Rong have some excitement first!" Jing Xiaolin got up, and there was no dust on his body, and another person knelt down on one knee in front of him: "My lord, the emperor announces that you will enter the palace to have an audience."

"The two of you will follow me into the palace first, and the rest will be left to guard the house!" Jing Xiaolin put on the gold-rimmed, yellow-bottomed checkered white tiger-trimmed fur cloak that the emperor rewarded him this year, and two more people came down from the beam, Yi Zong wore a black robe with a gold collar, and a gold-plated plaque on his waist.

Four strong men outside brought up a soft sedan chair. Jing Xiaolin disappeared as soon as he stepped on it, but he was already sitting in the mid-empty sedan chair. The four strong men carried Jing Xiaolin without panting. Only very shallow footprints were left in the open space below.

Lin Heng followed Lin Ruhai to go out to meet guests, and Daiyu ran over to cling to Jia Min after finishing her homework. Jia Min was very bored, so she remembered her natal family in the capital, and took out the letter that Jia's mother wrote to her before and read it one by one. Tell Daiyu, when Daiyu heard that Baoyu was seven years old this year, lived and ate with Jia Mu, and played with all the sisters, Daiyu pouted: "This cousin Baoyu has just gone to school! Even my elder brother has been in school for five years, and I heard from my father that this year I will let my elder brother take the entrance examination for children."

Jia Min was amused and sighed again: "How can you know something, your little one? Your cousin Baoyu is the youngest son in the family, and he was born with a piece of Baoyu. Naturally, your grandmother should love him more."

Daiyu herself was also confused. She had seen Qiaojie, a confinement child, who barely opened her mouth. How could she swallow such a large piece of jade? That was when Baoyu and Sister Feng had an accident. Those who have been here have looked very extraordinary. Could it be that Baoyu is really a fairy who came down to earth?But this fairy is too strange, saying that it is a good fortune, it may not be of any benefit.

Daiyu was very curious about what her mother thought, so she opened her eyes wide and said, "Dirty son, isn't brother Jia Huan right?"

Jia Min stroked Daiyu's hair, and gently stroked the ends of her hair: "A son is a son born in the main family, and the same is true for a daughter. Your elder brother Heng is the mother's son in the genealogy, so he can inherit us. Only the legitimate sons of the Lin family are eligible for the inheritance of the Lin family. Jia Huan is only a concubine from the second house and is not allowed to inherit the lineage. From the point of view of inheritance, your cousin Jia Lian is the eldest grandson of the Jia family..." Jia As Min was talking, she unconsciously covered her mouth, yes, brother Lian is the eldest grandson, but now the housekeeper is the second sister-in-law, and the second brother lives in Rongxitang, and the eldest brother donates money to brother Lian. I know Tongzhi, but after listening to Lai's family's words, I don't often go to the Yamen to do errands, but I run the housework for the family. Sister Feng helps the second sister-in-law to manage the affairs of the house. It's close to the mother's and second sister-in-law's house. How could things in this house be so upside down?

Daiyu didn't know what Jia Min was thinking, she looked at her mother in a trance, but didn't dare to speak, she just took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, the very light tea fragrance, since both Jia Min and Daiyu were told by the doctor not to drink more tea , the standing tea leaves in the main room are only Longjing and Maojian, and even when brewing, only a few tea leaves are used.

Suddenly someone said outside: "Madam, the bamboo fungus in the uncle's room is waiting outside."

"Call in!"

Jia Min came back to his senses immediately, and saw that Zhusheng was holding several fine objects in his hand: a silk fan from Sijun's uterus, a pair of fine-edged pine and cypress Duan inkstones on both sides, a string of white jade eighteen son bracelets, a string of wenwan walnut urchin ten Two engraved bracelets, two uncarved bloodstones.

Zhusheng first knelt down and said: "My maidservant greets my wife and young lady first, these are the things that the uncle got today, and now the uncle is still talking to the old man, so I will send the maidservant to deliver them to the young lady first, the old man said, if the young lady likes it stay."

Jia Min asked the bamboo fungus to get up first, and Jasmine made something and put it in front of Daiyu specially. Jia Min smiled and said, "Your brother loves you very much."

Daiyu picked out a fan, leaving behind a white jade bracelet with eighteen sons, and asked Jasmine to give the rest to the bamboo fungus: "I've picked it out, and I told my brother to leave a small bloodstone and find someone to carve it for me later." Another name, I'll make a handkerchief for him tomorrow!"

Zhu Sheng responded with a smile, and Jia Min asked again: "Did you send someone to collect my monthly money? If you go out, don't make me penniless, I don't even have any money for tipping!" "

Zhusheng laughed: "A few days ago, someone took it away. When the uncle went out, the book and the money were taken, but he didn't use them several times. He gave the money several times and was still there with the book and money."

Jia Min nodded, and Zhusheng went back.

Daiyu handed the white jade string to Jia Min. Jia Min looked at the single jadeite pendant with the imperial character on the bottom, and said, "I said, why does this look so familiar? It turned out to be something from your aunt of the Shui family." Yu didn't know who the eldest aunt of the Shui family was, so she asked Jia Min.

Jia Min laughed and said: "Your uncle of the Shui family was originally of the same clan as the current King of Beijing, but it has been five generations and has never had any contact with him. Although he is not a very wealthy family, the word Qinggui is enough. The uncle of the Shui family is your father. A classmate of mine, a first-class Jinshi back then, your aunt is a good friend of your mother, this string was rewarded by the queen mother when she left the cabinet before, but who knew it was given to your brother, now it seems that they have arrived in Yangzhou, and it seems that they will hand it over tomorrow post here."

Seeing what Daiyu was about to ask, Jia Min understood her daughter first and said: "Your aunt has two sons who are married now, and there is another daughter who is only nine years old and will definitely take care of her. I'm here." Sure enough, there are too few children in the family, and Yu'er feels a little lonely.
