Lin Xuan of the Red Chamber

Just when everyone in the house had their own thoughts, Jia Lian, who was sent by Jia's mother to welcome Lin Ruhai, also came back at this time.

After hearing the news that Lin Ruhai and his party returned directly to Lin's residence, Lin Daiyu's eyes darkened, unable to hide her loss. She was already sensitive, and she didn't know how much she thought at this moment. The more she thought about it, the more disappointed she felt. There was even a feeling that if his father married a new wife, he would not want her.

Jia's mother didn't think as much as Lin Daiyu did. Jia Lian made it very clear that Lin Ruhai and his party were exhausted from the journey, and since they just came to the capital today, there are still many things to be done in the mansion, so it's normal to go back to the mansion first. Let go of all the serious things and come to my side, not to mention that I am not Lin Ruhai's serious elder, but just my mother-in-law. What's more, Lin Ruhai also said that he will come here to visit him tomorrow, and he has nothing to complain about.

Just looking at Lin Daiyu's lost look, Jia's mother felt a little uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, she comforted her: "Your father and elder brother just came to Beijing today, and there are still many things to do, so you don't have to worry about it." Anyway, from now on, your father and elder brother will be in the capital, and there are plenty of opportunities for you to meet each other, so don’t be in a hurry.”

Jia Baoyu couldn't see Lin Daiyu's sad look the most. Seeing that Jia's mother was talking, he quickly comforted him: "Yes, sister Lin, didn't Uncle Lin say that he will come tomorrow, and grandma will come too." Having said that, Uncle Lin will live in the capital from now on, if you want to see Uncle Lin, I can accompany you anytime.”

Hearing Jia Baoyu's words, Mrs. Wang couldn't help laughing and said: "You silly boy, after your uncle Lin comes to Beijing, your sister Lin will naturally live with your uncle Lin, so why should you accompany your sister Lin?"

Jia Baoyu was shocked immediately, he was pure-hearted, he only thought that after Uncle Lin came to Beijing, Sister Lin would no longer have to think about Uncle Lin and her brother, how could he have thought that since Lin Ruhai came to Beijing, he would naturally take his daughter back This is possible.

Jia Baoyu panicked immediately. He looked at Jia Mu anxiously, and with a hint of crying in his voice, he asked Jia Mu, "Old Ancestor, will Uncle Lin pick up Sister Lin after he comes to Beijing? Uncle Lin can't help taking Sister Lin away."

Mother Jia quickly patted Jia Baoyu, and gave Madam Wang a majestic look in her eyes, until Madam Wang lowered her head embarrassingly, then turned to Jia Baoyu and comforted: "Baoyu, even if your sister Lin is killed by your uncle Lin Take it home, but you will come here often in the future, as long as you don't make your sister Lin angry, your sister Lin will come and live often."

What Jia's mother said was true. Although she couldn't stop Lin Ruhai from taking Lin Daiyu home, she would be able to take Lin Daiyu over with any excuse in the future. Even if Jia Baoyu didn't mention this matter, she would do the same. made.

Leaving aside the secret thoughts in Jia Mu's heart, it was only out of her love for Lin Daiyu, and she was worried that Lin Daiyu would be alone in the Lin Mansion. You must know that Lin Ruhai has married a new wife now, and now the Lin Manor is the master of the house. The most important thing is the new lady. No one knows whether the new lady is good or bad, and what kind of thoughts she has about Lin Daiyu, the prostitute daughter. If the new lady's intentions are not right, then her precious Daiyu will suffer Yet.

Although Jia's mother also knew that Lin Ruhai would definitely protect Lin Daiyu, but Lin Ruhai was a big man, and he probably didn't know about the private affairs between the back houses. Even if he wanted to protect Lin Daiyu, could he really protect Lin Daiyu completely? Mother Jia is not at ease at all.

Although the new wife has been in the house for so many years, Lin Xuan has not had any problems, but in Jiamu's view, it is because Lin Xuan is the only son of the Lin family, and Lin Ruhai protects him closely, and because he is a man who does not often live in the house. Shen Shuang didn't dare to make a move, and couldn't find a chance to do so. As for Lin Junyao, Jia's mother completely ignored it. How could a concubine be compared with a concubine? Of course, didn't she tolerate those concubines to live on? .

Mother Jia knew that if she was in Shen Shuang's position, she would not be able to tolerate Lin Daiyu. Therefore, Mother Jia did not believe that Shen Shuang would have good intentions for Lin Daiyu.

Not to mention Jia Mu's current thoughts, just to say that Jia Baoyu was very happy when he heard this, and looked at Lin Daiyu eagerly, and hurriedly asked: "Sister Lin, is what the old ancestor said true? Do you often live here?"

Seeing Jia Baoyu looking at her anxiously, Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes, covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said deliberately: "That's not necessarily true, father and elder brother finally came to Beijing, and our family finally reunited. Of course I want to be with my father and elder brother, and you keep making me angry here, why should I come back, even if I miss my ancestors and sisters, can I invite them to the Lin Mansion?"

Sanchun at the bottom can naturally see Daiyu's thoughts, knowing that Daiyu wants to tease Baoyu, and they all agree with her. Xichun is the youngest and most lively, and immediately said: "That's great, Sister Lin, I I haven't been to the Lin Mansion yet, sister Lin must invite us when the time comes."

Seeing everyone agreeing, Jia Baoyu was also anxious, and walked up to Lin Daiyu, seeing that Daiyu immediately turned her back to him, she was not annoyed, and begged in a low voice: "My dear sister, please, please let me go!" Forgive me, don't make trouble with me, if you really leave, then I will cry to death"

Lin Daiyu turned around and gave him a sideways glance. Seeing Jia Baoyu's pitiful look, she finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. Seeing Lin Daiyu's smile, everyone in the room couldn't help laughing too.

Seeing everyone laughing, Jia Baoyu also reacted. He was not a stupid person. If he hadn't cared too much about Lin Daiyu, he wouldn't have been deceived by her so easily, but even though he was deceived by Daiyu, He wasn't angry either, but with a serious expression on his face, he seemed angry and said, "Okay, you guys team up to lie to me, sister Lin, don't blame me for bullying you this time."

As he said that, Jia Baoyu hugged Daiyu and started making a fuss. Lin Daiyu was startled by his action, and then she couldn't help giggling when he scratched her. While avoiding Jia Baoyu's hand, she quickly She ran to Jiamu and hid directly behind Jiamu.

Stretching out her head and looking at Jia Baoyu who was chasing after her, Lin Daiyu held Jia's mother as a shield and begged for mercy: "Good brother, my sister knows I'm wrong, please forgive me."

Naturally, Jia Baoyu couldn't be subdued just because of this sentence, and the two immediately played hide-and-seek around Jia's mother, and everyone in the room also watched the two juniors with smiles, but what were they thinking in their hearts? Then I don't know.

Jia's side is full of joy and harmony, and Lin's side is also happy now.

Lin Ruhai was born in Tanhua, and people who took the imperial examination in the same year as him were his natural allies. In addition to the contacts accumulated by the four generations of the Lin family, although he returned to Lin's mansion directly after getting off the boat, it didn't take long. After dinner, Lin Ruhai received the news that the court had approved his decision to join the cabinet. Now, Lin Ruhai was really pleasantly surprised.

Entering the cabinet and becoming a cabinet elder is what all the civil servants of the Great Zhou Dynasty longed for most. You must know that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, if you want to join the cabinet, qualifications, connections, abilities, and luck are all indispensable. Lin Ruhai once also He thought that he should be able to enter the cabinet, but he never thought that it would be so early. In his original plan, he returned to Beijing this time, worked it out, got the position of the six ministers, and then stayed in this position for a long time. It took a few years to become one of the candidates for the cabinet, but he never expected that when he returned to Beijing this time, the current emperor would give him such a big surprise, how could he not be excited.

In fact, Lin Ruhai was able to join the cabinet this time because of luck. Originally, he was not good enough to join the cabinet according to his qualifications, but who made the cabinet lack of manpower now, and the chief minister of the cabinet has a tendency to dominate , and for a while, there were not enough suitable candidates among the imperial court. Naturally, the emperor would choose Lin Ruhai who returned to Beijing at this time.

After years of experience in the officialdom, Lin Ruhai has long been able to hide his emotions and anger. Therefore, after getting the news, Lin Ruhai was only a little excited, and then calmed down. I am in the mood to take the opportunity to teach a few words.

It made Lin Xuan dumbfounded, but this time, Lin Ruhai's entry into the cabinet will be of great help to Lin Xuan, at least his future official career will be much smoother, so it's okay if he is in a good mood. imagined.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. Lin Ruhai's entry into the cabinet this time is the result of the emperor's desire to balance the forces of all parties, which means that Lin Ruhai may be involved in cruel partisan struggles after this. However, first Compared with the huge benefits that can be obtained from joining the cabinet, this disadvantage is also tolerable, and with Lin Ruhai's scheming methods, I believe it should be enough to deal with the next crisis.

The political system implemented by the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty in Chinese history is very similar, and this also determines that the Great Zhou Dynasty is destined to be like the Ming Dynasty. The current Great Zhou Dynasty, under Emperor Jingde , the party led by the three elders is the most powerful, and even the Huang Party led by the chief minister of the cabinet, Huang Yourong, has somewhat suppressed the party led by the two elders, Wu Jingrong and Shen Chang. At this time, if Lin Ruhai joins the cabinet, it is inevitable that he will join forces with Wu and Chen to resist the forces of the Yellow Party. Anyone who has read the history of the Ming Dynasty should be able to feel the cruelty of the party struggle. Laughing.

However, Lin Xuan is not very worried about this. At least there is no big risk for Lin Ruhai to join the cabinet now. The reason is very simple, that is, the emperor will not allow a family to dominate. What's more, Lin Xuan believes that Huang Ge Lao is not an idiot if he can achieve the position of Ge Lao. He should also understand that there is no good end for a family dominating the court. From this point, Lin Ruhai It can be seen that the proposal to join the cabinet was successfully passed. Otherwise, even if the emperor insisted on it, but most of the ministers in the court objected, in order to avoid causing turmoil in the court, the emperor would have no way to go his own way.

All in all, Lin Ruhai's current prospects are smooth sailing, and this is actually enough. As for what will happen in the future and how the situation will develop, no one can predict it. Just do your best and obey the destiny.

After resting for the night, the morning court just ended the next day, without any delay, Lin Ruhai quickly handed over the sign and went to the palace to face the saint. The reason for being so anxious was because Lin Ruhai hadn't seen the current saint for many years. It is uncertain how much friendship there is. Lin Ruhai must find out what the emperor thinks of him as soon as possible, so that he can know how to act next.

Moreover, it seems that Lin Ruhai's entry into the cabinet seems to have been settled, but if he does not actually enter the cabinet, Lin Ruhai's position will be unstable every day. At this time, he must be more cautious in doing things. Holy, what is shown is an attitude, an attitude towards the Holy One, and this attitude is especially important in the officialdom.

Before Lin Ruhai left, he didn't let Lin Xuan idle. He and Lin Daiyu hadn't seen each other for many years, and he didn't care about it in his heart. After all, Lin Daiyu was his prostitute, the only daughter Jia Min left for him. Couples who have been married for many years, it is a lie to say that they have no feelings. He naturally has more feelings for Lin Daiyu. Although the relationship has been worn down a bit due to the long separation, but after all, it is father and daughter, and they say they don’t care. That is impossible.

For so many years, because the distance between Jiangnan and the capital is too far, it has been difficult for Lin Ruhai to get any news about Lin Daiyu. Coupled with Lin Xuan's secret tricks, Lin Ruhai knows Lin Daiyu's living conditions in Jiajia. In this case, although Lin Ruhai believes that Mother Jia will not treat Lin Daiyu badly, after all, she is also a member of the imperial court, and Mother Jia will not offend herself for no reason, but she still has some dissatisfaction with Lin Daiyu. rest assured.

This worry reached its peak after arriving in the capital. In fact, if Lin Xuan and the others hadn't been exhausted from the long journey yesterday, Lin Ruhai really wanted to visit her daughter right away.

So, early this morning, he asked Lin Xuan to get ready to go to Jia's house to see how Lin Daiyu was doing instead of him, because Lin Ruhai already knew the news of her joining the cabinet, so for the next period of time, I will not Said that he would be very busy, and only said that it was not easy to go to Jia's house in person in his capacity. Not to mention his own identity, he also lowered the status of several other elders invisibly. Normal people would not do such a thing that offends people without benefit.

However, this also means that Lin Xuan may be busy in the future. For those occasions where Lin Ruhai is inconvenient to appear in person, Lin Xuan can definitely participate as a representative. In fact, the other elders are also like this After all, some things are not suitable for them to come forward in person, and at this time, they can only be represented by their nephews.

According to Lin Ruhai's instructions, Lin Xuan quickly handed over the greeting card to the Jia family, giving the Jia family some time to prepare in advance, and after Lin Ruhai entered the palace to face the saint, Lin Xuan thought that the Jia family should have almost prepared, So he asked the housekeeper to prepare a generous gift, and rode to Jia's house on horseback.

When Lin Xuan and the others arrived at Rongning Street, they saw a lively scene. Not long after Lin Xuan's invitation was delivered, the Jia family had already sent someone to wait here, but the servants of the Jia family seemed to be waiting for him. I'm used to talking and talking when I'm on errands. When Lin Xuan arrived there, what he saw was a messy scene, and there were no rules that servants should have. Lin Xuan shook his head inwardly.

Although Lin Xuan felt uncomfortable with the quality of the servants of the Jia family, after all, he was a servant of the Jia family. Lin Xuan didn't say much about the scene.
