[Red Mansion] Today is also not a person in Jia's house

Lin Ruhai was casual and natural, pouring tea while talking, as if he was just chatting with ordinary friends.

The young man opposite him was obviously not as calm as him, and the smile on his face was a little stiff.

"Master Lin, I came here to discuss with you today because I believe you have this ability, and how many people can surpass you in the court today? But just saying a few words is nothing."

"Your Highness, what you said is wrong. I am just an ordinary courtier. There are many people who are stronger than me in the court. If you don't say anything else, just talk about the prince. Even if I play a hundred words, I can't compare with him. You should come to me, you should go to the prince."

Lin Ruhai joked indifferently, but the more indifferent he was, the more people couldn't get in the conversation.

The son of Prince Zhongshun took a sip of tea to suppress his displeasure, and his eyes became sharper.

"Master Lin was born in Tanhua, so naturally you have more say in such matters. With all due respect, don't the Lin family have any younger generation to participate in the palace examination?"

"I'm not afraid of the prince's jokes when I say it. The Lin family is thin, and almost all of them are relatives outside the fifth service. Even if they come to the door to recognize relatives, I don't know them. I don't care what happens in the future depends on their abilities."

Others wished they could unite the whole family together, but Lin Ruhai didn't follow common sense, and his demeanor was so calm that he didn't seem to be lying, making Prince Zhongshun hold his breath.

Old fox!

Being able to climb up from Yangzhou Yanzheng really knows how to protect oneself wisely.If you want to drag him in, you have to find another way.

I slandered a few words in my heart, and was about to get up to say goodbye, when suddenly a servant came over.

"My lord, Jia Zheng, the second master of the Rongguo Mansion, came to visit."

Lin Ruhai didn't get up, and didn't even respond, alienation and indifference were visible to the naked eye.

Prince Zhongshun suddenly wanted to watch a good show, so he deliberately got up and left.

"Since there are guests visiting, this son will leave first. It is not good to disturb Mr. Lin's family affairs."

Anyone who is in the center of power in the capital, who doesn't know that the Jia family is now at the end of its battle?He described Jia Lin as a family matter, clearly deliberate provocation.

Lin Ruhai got up as expected.

"I don't think it's a big deal, I just sent the son out to meet him."

Jia Zheng paced back and forth in the reception hall, thinking about how to speak so as not to affect the relationship between the two families.He raised his head when he heard movement outside, but was shocked when he saw the person coming.

"I don't know that the son is here, and it is rude to disturb the two of you."

Prince Zhongshun had one hand behind his back, with an arrogant expression.

"Just gossiping casually, it's not considered disturbing. If Master Jia has something important to do, don't dislike me."

"Don't dare to bother the son to call you my lord. It was not a secret. Zheng came here today and wanted to propose marriage to Mr. Lin. Since the son was present, I happened to ask the son to be a witness."

Jia Zheng bowed his hands and raised his head to stand up, but the atmosphere was not right.

Just as Lin Ruhai got angry, he caught a glimpse of Prince Zhongshun's expression and suddenly calmed down.

"The eldest daughter has already been engaged, and the younger daughter will stay for a few more years. Besides, I am a doting child, and I always want the child to be happy. It is better not to talk about such things."

Waving his hand, his eyes fell on Prince Zhongshun.

"It just so happens that the lord was going to propose a marriage a few days ago. Now that we're talking about it today, I'd like to ask the prince to plead guilty for me."

"Where is Master Lin talking, it's natural to love young girls."

Prince Zhongshun squeezed his words through his teeth, regretting that he shouldn't have followed.He didn't see a good show, so Lin Ruhai arranged it instead.This Jia Zheng is even more hateful, he dared to propose marriage, what status do they deserve?

Jia Zheng glared at him bitterly, and Jia Zheng's face turned pale.

It's not that Lin Daiyu has a bad reputation and fears that she will be alone for life, so why did she hear that the palace wants to propose marriage?The prince's face, could it be...

Guesses flashed through his mind, and Jia Zheng hurriedly pleaded guilty.

"I'm the one who was abrupt. This child lived in front of me for a few years when he was young, so it will inevitably hurt more. Since I want to stay for a few more years, it's me, the uncle, who is in a hurry."

Two sentences turned the marriage proposal into an uncle's matchmaking for the niece, so the son of Zhongshun would look better.

"It's normal for mother and uncle to be older, but Miss Lin has her biological father to take care of her, so I won't bother you."

"Yes."

Jia Zheng didn't dare to speak, he should be respectful.

The words prepared before coming here were useless, so he was frightened out by Prince Zhongshun.He hurried back to Rongguo Mansion and angrily reprimanded Mrs. Wang.

"Who do you hear that Daiyu has a bad reputation? When I went today, I saw Prince Zhongshun's son. I heard what he said. Daiyu was going to marry into the palace in the future. If I had known that, I shouldn't have gone. I can't say such things in the future talk!"

"what?"

Mrs. Wang stood up in shock and couldn't believe it.

"There are rumors spreading outside, how did she marry into the palace? Master, could it be that you heard it wrong?"

"Although there are rumors, they are false after all. Who would believe any sensible people? It's not those stupid things. If you have free time to inquire about those gossips, why don't you pack up a generous gift and send it to Daiyu when she is engaged? Ease our relationship with Lin Fu."

After saying this, Jia Zheng let out a cold snort and shook his hands.

Although he is mediocre, he can understand the pros and cons.The empress in the palace passed away, and after a hundred years of the old lady, the Jia family would have no backing.

Although the Lin family has no sons, Lin Ruhai has a high position and authority, and he recognizes a few students from Tanhua's background, forming a line of his own.If Baoyu's studies are successful, he may not be able to propose marriage with a cheeky face.

What a pity, huh!

Standing outside the door and sighing, Jia Zheng looked blankly.

Growing up under the shadow of ancestors since childhood, now knowing that the family is in trouble but unable to save it, how to face the ancestors when they are under the Nine Springs?

He was at a loss, but Mrs. Wang was indignant.

"It's just a girl who is full of gossip, why is there a marriage proposal from the palace? Is it true that her reputation must be completely destroyed in order for Baoyu to fulfill her wish? But if her reputation is really destroyed, what is the use of marrying?"

Reluctant to bear the influence of the Lin family behind Lin Daiyu, but also unwilling to suffer Jia Baoyu, he thought hard for a long time, and called Li Mama and Zhao Mama to discuss countermeasures.

"The idea you said last time is probably not going to work. That girl of the Lin family is still being missed by others. If she is caught first, how can I wait for the third girl to get married?"

Mother Zhao didn't take it seriously, and responded casually.

"Although our family is not as good as before, it is still a big family in the capital. Whoever dares to rob us will be taught a lesson? Seeing Miss Lin like this, she is still reluctant to let go. It must be those who come from humble backgrounds and try to climb up. How can they compete with us? ?”

"Hmph, if you are really from a lowly background, you are still used to give me an idea? It is because of my bad status that I am in trouble. Looking at it now, you don't have a good idea either."

The more Mrs. Wang thought about it, the angrier she became. She had to endure grievances before she was willing to let Lin Daiyu in. Could it be that Zhongshun Palace is blind?

Mama Li and Mama Zhao looked at each other, saw the shock in each other's eyes, and asked cautiously.

"Could it be someone with a higher status than us? It's not easy to start with. If you do too much, you may offend me. This, this..."

After a long time, he didn't think of a useful solution. The arrogant self-confidence just now disappeared without a trace when he heard that the other party had a higher status.

Prince Zhongshun stayed in the Lin residence for a while longer, confirming that Jia Zheng looked at Lin Ruhai from a distance.

"I didn't expect Mrs. Lin's daughter to be missed by so many people. Presumably she must be beautiful. I wonder if I will be honored to meet you?"

"Your Majesty is joking, how can the girl's family come out to meet guests at will, and it is secondary to spread the misunderstanding of other people's family, I am afraid that the youngest daughter's mind is hard to guess."

Lin Ruhai was more than respectful, but more alienated.I was also very vigilant in my heart.

If it is said that Prince Zhongshun wanted to completely turn Lin Ruhai into one of his own by marrying Lin Daiyu at the beginning, then it is hard to say what is left of this thought now, and it is more likely to arouse their conceit in their hearts, and they are bound to take their fancy. Get something.

Lifting his eyes slightly, he saw a ruthless look in the eyes of Prince Zhongshun.

"Okay, Mr. Lin is indeed a good father. If that's the case, you must look after Ling Qianjin."

Humming and laughing, he waved his hands and left.

"Thank you for reminding me, sir."

Lin Ruhai bowed his hands respectfully, keeping his movements motionless for a long time.

After all, the capital is a place of right and wrong, and Daiyu has such a temperament that it is not suitable to get involved.It seems that they can't wait for the stability of the DPRK and China, so it's best to leave as soon as possible after this incident.

Putting his hands back and getting up, Lin Ruhai made up his mind.

Outside the door, Prince Zhongshun rushed out angrily and stepped into the sedan chair.

The personal servant asked carefully.

"Go home?"

After a while there was no response, just as he was about to tell the bearers, he suddenly heard a voice from inside.

"Go to Cheng Mansion."

Lin Ruhai is an old fox and has no sons, so he doesn't have to live in court for the sake of his family's foundation.What about Cheng Qian?

A young boy from the rivers and lakes, relying on a cousin like Lin Ruhai to occupy a place in the imperial court.Having seen the prosperity of the capital and the benefits of power, is he still willing to go back?

Li Guang flashed in his eyes, and he was loyal to the order of the crown prince.

"You go back to the mansion immediately to prepare a generous gift. Let's go to Cheng's mansion to visit. Maybe we will be a family in the future."

"Yes."

The boy ordered the bearer to walk slowly, and he hurried back to Prince Zhongshun's mansion to pick up the gift, and then came back to catch up.

It happened to be Cheng Qian Xiumu today, but the imperial examination is coming soon, even if Xiumu is at home, he can't be free, there are still many trivial things to check.

Hearing that the son of Prince Zhongshun came to the door, he quickly packed his things and got up.

"Invite the prince into the main hall, I will change my clothes and go."

I hurried to change clothes, but I was guessing the purpose of his visit in my mind.

The Cheng mansion was built by Cheng Qian himself, and it only occupies half the size of Lin's mansion. You can see the size of the mansion before entering the door, and the eyes of Prince Zhongshun flashed contempt.

"I thought Lin Ruhai was a smart person, so that's all. He doesn't have a son, so he doesn't know how to take care of this nephew as a support."

A few words of sarcasm, get out of the sedan chair and enter the door.

Walking through the gate, bypassing the screen wall and the hanging flower gate, a figure rushes towards you.

"Who dares to charge His Royal Highness?"

"Bold, don't kneel down yet!"

"Assassin, take down the assassin!"

The servants kept shouting, Zhongshun Shizi staggered and stood still, looked up and saw a young man in his early twenties in front of him.

I saw that he was slender and stern, and even though he was wearing brocade clothes, his cuffs were rolled up, the hem of his clothes was stained with mud, and he was holding two flower pots in his arms, which was really weird.
