Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

Prince Zhongshun failed to ask for Lin Mingan, so he had no choice but to leave in dismay, and went to the Minister of Industry to discuss the arrangement of wool textiles.Forget it, he can think about it, even if Lin Mingan's Ministry of Internal Affairs, the imperial court will not allow the royal family to monopolize this benefit!

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was told by Emperor Yongjia that he wanted to arrange a good official position for Lin Qing and the reasons for treating him favorably, and he did not show any objection.Compared with the benefits that Lin Mingan brought to the court and the common people, this is nothing.Lin Qing taught his son well, which shows that he is upright and has been conscientious since he took office. The Ministry of Industry has a good evaluation of him.It should be promoted to a higher level.

The Ministry of Officials sent someone to consult Lin Qing first.Lin Qing was both surprised and delighted, with some sweet troubles mixed in.Alas, both are good jobs, which one should I choose?He was thinking over and over all the way,

Back home, Lin Qing immediately found his son and wife, and discussed the matter with them.

Lin Ming'an suddenly thought of a suitable joke: Oh, should I go to Tsinghua University or Peking University?Add a pensive expression.

He couldn't help laughing, and when he turned his head and saw that his mother was about to drive away Yi'an, who was secretly poking around and trying to eavesdrop, he hurriedly stopped her.Since it is a major family matter, let Yi'an sit down generously and participate in the discussion. She is not ignorant of children.

Mrs. Chen felt that it was inappropriate, saying that such an important matter involving the future and officialdom should be handled by his father and brothers, so how could it be the turn of a girl from Yi'an to talk about it?A daughter's family should have the duty of a daughter's family.If you are used to such indulgence at home, how can your in-laws tolerate it in the future?

Lin Ming'an disagreed, women in later generations can also hold up half the sky, female politicians, female scholars, and female rich men can be found everywhere, which proves that women's intelligence and ability are not inferior to men's in the slightest!Of course, in this era, it is a luxury to want to achieve these things, and there is no such condition at all.However, he absolutely didn't want to see Yi'an being raised in a deep boudoir, becoming a girl who only knew three obediences and four virtues, or a love affair with children.That would be too wronged for Yi An!Since Yi An was young, he has tried to create the most relaxed environment for her, and he will continue to do so in the future.

However, he couldn't tell Chen Shi about this, he could only convince Chen Shi in this way: Yi'an is now an official lady, not a girl from a small family, how could she not have some knowledge?In the future, her husband and son-in-law must also be officials, or have a reputation. As the head of the house and a virtuous housemate, the most important thing is to be able to speak a common language with her husband, be knowledgeable and decisive, and understand the world.How can they only know about female celebrities, housework and the like, and which family can't afford a few servants and maids?Let yourself be lowered!

How can a man really like a woman who is full of women's principles and virtues?Ban Jieyu was a concubine Xian, she had a miserable life that day!If he hadn't seen the opportunity and took the initiative to retreat to serve the Empress Dowager, he would have been killed by the Zhao sisters.If Yi'an is really cultivated to be such a pedantic and virtuous person, then we should go to burn incense and worship Buddha, and pray to the Buddha to bless her with good life!

In-laws?We Yi'an will not marry such an ignorant and mean in-law's family, no matter how rich he is!Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man!We will definitely find a good marriage for Yi An!Otherwise, I would rather raise Yi'an for the rest of my life, don't worry, Aniang!

Mrs. Chen wanted to persuade her again, but Lin Qing said in a deep voice: "My lady, you should listen to Brother An!" He thought that Brother Ang had always been wise, and his knowledge was much higher than that of their husband and wife. wrong.

Mrs. Chen heard her husband and son say that, so she didn't say anything. She could only watch Yi'an happily sit next to An Ge'er, serious and ready to listen.Chen Shi smiled helplessly, but her heart was warm and extremely at ease.

Both positions, are excellent!The Imperial Academy is dignified and dignified, while the Ministry of Internal Affairs is rich and powerful.

Lin Mingan thought for a moment, and suggested that his father go to the Imperial College.It is the highest institution of learning in the country, and for scholars, it is like a palace.Although there is no tangible power, but serving in it, you can form a relationship and network. This kind of resource is invaluable.Guozijian Jiancheng manages general affairs, but his status is not low, and he can be called a "teacher" by the students.Lin Qing was also born in Juren, with a great reputation, so he deserves this position.

Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sufficient oil and water, it has complex personnel.And in the future, there will inevitably be some disputes with the Ministry of Industry for interests.At that time, the father and son were sandwiched in the middle, and each had his own master, which must be embarrassing.So, choose to go to Guozijian.Their Lin family is not short of money now, and they will never be short of money in the future!

"Besides, father," Lin Mingan smiled at Lin Qing: "I know you have always liked the atmosphere of the college with a strong academic style and a gathering of talents. In this case, why don't you follow your own heart to make a choice? ?”

Lin Qing patted Lin Mingan's shoulder emotionally, only to feel that there were a lot of things in her heart that were stuck in her throat and could not be said.

Lin Mingan looked back and smiled, saying nothing.

A few days later, a piece of news caused fluctuations among the people in the Ministry of Industry.Lin Qing was transferred by the Ministry of Officials to the Guozijian to take the post of Jiancheng, and was promoted to the fifth rank after returning to the official position.After handing over the work in hand, Lin Qing will go to the Imperial College to take up his post immediately.

Everyone envied, Guozijian Jiancheng, it is a very noble job with intangible resources and benefits, and it doesn't require special advanced knowledge, just do things carefully and attentively!Compared with the errands of the Ministry of Industry, it is much more eye-catching!

Among them, Jia Zheng was the most envious.He likes scholars the most, and in his dreams he always wants to go to places like the Imperial Academy and Imperial Academy.It's just a pity that before his father died, a posthumous play was published, and the Supreme Emperor rewarded him with an errand in the Ministry of Industry.Let him be underappreciated here, out of place, alas!

If Jia Daishan knew about it in the underground, he would jump up and spit at him: If you can even be admitted as a scholar, why should I not live in peace when I die, and sacrifice other interests, just to ask for an official for you, so that you can do whatever you want? Not a white body!Who knows, you've been fooling around for so many years, and you haven't been promoted to the first level!

Lin Qing is also just a juror, this is another promotion, and this is such a good job. Could it be that he has followed the path of some adult in the official department?Jia Zheng was a little annoyed, his family was so upright and honest, he didn't know how to flatter and flatter him, to make connections!

Even though he thought so, when his colleagues held a banquet to congratulate Lin Qing, Jia Zheng couldn't help but went forward to congratulate Lin Qing graciously, making friends in a roundabout way.Perhaps, by getting closer, he can also have the opportunity to make friends with the nobleman behind Lin Qing!

Lin Qing and Jia Zheng socialized face to face, but were a little surprised in their hearts.Could it be that he doesn't know about the Lin family's grievances and disputes?After thinking about it, I could only smile wryly.As for Jia Zheng's pedantic, ignorant, and unsociable temperament, I'm afraid no one will tell him!

Lin Qing soon went to the Imperial Academy to take up his post.A few days later, the Ministry of Industry welcomed Jinshi who came to observe politics.

Because it is a relatively professional department, compared with places such as the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Imperial Academy, it is relatively less popular, and there are not many Jinshi.Among a group of second-class and third-class Jinshi, Lin Mingan, the second-class No. 7, stood out.Not to mention that he was young and handsome, personable, and radiant, and he attracted everyone's attention just by standing there.

Everyone heard that Lin Ming'an was the only son of his former colleague Lin Qing, and saw that Lin Qing treated people with understanding and friendliness.Everyone waited to see him more and more, and those who had daughters staying in Yu's boudoir were even more enthusiastic about Lin Ming'an.

Jia Zheng was also thinking. Didn't his daughter, Tanchun, think highly of him? Lin Ming'an was the best candidate.Although Tanchun is a few years younger than him, that is nothing.If it doesn't work, there is also Spring Festival, which is more suitable in terms of age.However, he was worried that both Tanchun and Yingchun were concubines, Lin Mingan was a second-class Jinshi, his future must be good, and his family background was barely worthy, so he might be picky about this.Then replace Xichun?No, she's too young, and she's from the East Mansion. If the marriage is really done, the Rongguo Mansion won't be able to take advantage of it.

Let's take a look again, Jia Zheng pondered.Empress's imperial concubine canonization is finalized, if she is favored in the palace, Tanchun's status will be different as empress's own younger sister.Otherwise, let Tanchun be recorded in Wang's name, and it can barely be regarded as a direct descendant.At that time, speaking to the Lin family will give you a little more confidence.

Thinking of this, Jia Zheng suddenly became enlightened.He made up his mind that Lin Ming'an would spend at least a year in the Ministry of Industry as an observer of politics.Go get along with him first and get familiar with him. Even if he is transferred to another department or becomes an official in another department in the future, he can maintain his friendship as a colleague and move around easily.At that time, find a chance to talk to him?

It's just that Lin Ming'an seems to be very favored by Lord Shangshu, and Jia Zheng can't stand by his side every day.After a few more days, I simply couldn't see his people in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.Jia Zheng couldn't bear it anymore, so he inquired about it, and said that Lin Ming'an was valued by the Minister, and he concentrated on the study of the technique of investigating things, and was also in charge of intermediary liaison with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he didn't need to come to the yamen for advice.

Jia Zheng returned angrily, but became more eager for this plan in his heart.After a few days, he couldn't help but go to Yang Shilang to inquire about Lin Mingan's movements.

Not daring to disturb Yang Langzhong's official business, Jia Zheng hesitated outside the door, thinking about how to speak, but heard the conversation between Yang Langzhong and a colleague indoors.

"Master Yang, why can't Lin Mingan see anyone?"

"Fusheng, it's not that you don't know that Fang Shangshu assigned him another important task, which is much more important than doing things in the Yamen. Why, some people don't like it? Hmph, if you don't agree, go and tell Fang Shangshu. Who can be like Lin Mingan? If he is capable, I also allow him not to be busy working here."

"That's not true! Everyone has a good impression of Lin Ming'an." The colleague said with a smile: "It's just that some people miss him!"

"What are you thinking about?" Yang Shilang asked.

"Thinking about letting him be the son-in-law of Chenglong Kuai! A second-class Jinshi in a weak year, with excellent talents and family background, isn't he a candidate for a good son-in-law? My daughter is engaged, otherwise, I would also be tempted Woolen cloth!"

"Think about it, then you have to weigh your own situation." Yang Shilang said: "Didn't you hear that Lin Qing was rewarded by the emperor again, and he was canonized as an earl, and his young daughter was specially given by the emperor to a country lord?" The title is officially canonized, and it is recorded in the clan mansion and the house of internal affairs."

Jia Zheng was taken aback outside the door. Lin Qing performed well in the Ministry of Industry, but he was not so good. Why did the emperor value him so much?He couldn't help feeling a little pantothenic.

The colleagues in the room were also very surprised: "Master Yang, why does Lin Qing deserve such good treatment from the imperial court?"

"I have a good son!" Yang Shilang's tone was full of envy: "Lin Ming'an created the wool weaving method, and this alone can create a huge industry, and he can also hold down a stable family. The northern grassland. He voluntarily dedicated this method to the imperial court, and the emperor will of course reward him for his contribution. But he is too young, and he is still in the period of observation, and the emperor wants to train him a bit, so it is inconvenient to reward him generously. Close relative? In the future, Lin Qing may enjoy the blessings of his son even more!"

"Yes, a few days ago, the excellent wine that Lin Qing gave everyone was brewed in the winery jointly run by Lin Mingan and his relatives. Nowadays, it is hard to find a bottle of this wine in the capital." The colleague sighed: "Why didn't I give birth to such a good son?

"Hehe, if you can give birth, you have to raise it well!" Yang Shilang lowered his voice: "I'll tell you something, don't go out and talk nonsense!"

"I will definitely keep my mouth shut, Master Yang, just rest assured!" The colleague became curious and repeatedly assured.

"That Lin Qing and Jia Cunzhou's brother-in-law Lin Ruhai are of the same family, and there seems to be a deep entanglement between the two."

"Jia Cunzhou's brother-in-law? Alas, what's going on?" the colleague kept asking.Jia Zheng outside the door also had a beating heart.

"I only heard Mr. Shangshu mention it. I don't know the details. If you want to know, go ask Mr. Shangshu!"

"Oh, I dare not! Doesn't this Jia Cunzhou know?"

"He doesn't ask questions all day, I'm afraid he really doesn't know!"

Jia Zheng froze outside the door, his heart was in a mess, full of doubts.Suddenly thought, didn't Jia Lian go to Gusu to take care of Lin Ruhai's funeral?He must know something, and I will ask him after returning home.
