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

Last year's application period, it has been agreed to depart from the capital on the eighth day of April this spring, arrive in Fujian before the end of May, and officially salute on the third day of June.The whole process starts from the beginning of spring, and is completed before the hot summer, and is specially selected in a season with a suitable climate.

Even so, it couldn't stop Lin Ruhai from feeling unhappy.

"It's just entered March, so I'm rushing to remind you, is it because we are afraid that our family will not be able to afford the dowry?"

The old father who is about to marry his daughter is unreasonable. As long as he thinks that Lin Yun will travel thousands of miles from the capital to Fujian, and he doesn't know when he will come back, he will have an ugly face.

Lin Yun probed.

"Then, don't you marry?"

"nonsense!"

Neither horizontal nor vertical, Lin Ruhai held his breath, got up and went to the inspector's office.

During this day, the subordinates and officers were trembling, and they always felt that their boss, Lin Da, was not in a good mood.Be more cautious in doing things, lest you hit the muzzle.

In the evening, the list of officials to be selected was sent to the imperial court, and the reasons for the selection were listed in detail, which was clearly organized.

"Lin Aiqing is really relieved when she is doing business. I am very relieved."

The emperor was very satisfied with such efficiency, and summoned the Minister of the Ministry of Officials that night to decide the matter.

On the second day, the court publicly announced that Wei Ruolan would stay in the capital and be conferred the title of second-class general, and that the southwestern important area would be guarded by another army.

It is expected to send another army to guard, but the canonization of the second-class general has aroused discussion.

At the beginning, when Jia She inherited Meng Yin from his ancestor, he was only a third class, while Wei Ruolan was a second class when he came back from the southwest.Does the emperor want to praise him, or let him stay in this second class for the rest of his life?

Everyone guessed one after another, and Lin Ruhai also approached someone.

"My lord Lin, it seems that this little general Wei is highly appreciated by His Majesty. Even though he is young, he should show more respect in the future."

"Master Zhang is right."

Lin Ruhai nodded suddenly, and another person came beside him.

"I don't think so. Your Majesty's not letting him go south is because he deliberately guards against it. He has made military exploits at such an age. If he is not disciplined, he may break the sky in the future."

"Master Feng is right."

Who can say anything, Lin Ruhai just nodded in agreement, and several people came over but couldn't extract any useful information from him.

Prince Zhongshun watched with cold eyes and gritted his teeth.

Old stuff!

Come out after facing down, and personally stop Lin Ruhai.

"Master Lin is very deterministic. No wonder His Majesty has to summon Lord Lin to the palace to discuss important matters. This time, General Wei has been promoted, congratulations."

"My lord is joking, the salary of eating the king should be a burden for the king. The official is going to congratulate General Wei's mansion, why not go?"

As if he didn't understand the embarrassment in the words, Lin Ruhai warmly invited, making Prince Zhongshun's face ugly.

"No, the king has other important matters, so leave!"

"Congratulations to the lord."

Lin Ruhai clasped his hands in salute, then raised his head, and Prince Zhongshun had gone away.After returning home, ordering someone to send a gift with no merit or demerit, it will be regarded as congratulations, and the rest will be ignored.

After dealing with the previous matters, he remembered Lin Yun's marriage again.Although he was reluctant to give up, he couldn't ignore it, holding his breath and walking towards the backyard, passing by the garden, he saw people gathered in the corner.

March is already full of spring, and the garden is full of vitality.Lin Daiyu was holding a paintbrush in it, she didn't know what beautiful scenery she saw, and she impatiently recorded it on paper, but she didn't notice Lin Ruhai's arrival.

Some of the little girls beside were cutting flowers, and some were watching the excitement. Seeing Lin Ruhai, they all stopped to say hello, and retreated to the side.

I don't know how long it took, Lin Daiyu signed the payment and received the pen, only to find something unusual when she looked up.

"When did father come here? These girls became bolder and didn't tell me."

"I see that you are serious, so I ordered them not to disturb you."

Lin Ruhai explained, and came forward to enjoy the painting.I saw the towering green trees and a hundred flowers blooming in the painting, which is a grand scene at the end.But looking up at the garden, it's clear that it's not yet time.

"I have grown a lot, and I have relaxed my mind a lot."

With such a comment, Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled.

"Father has seen too much of my sister's ghostly talisman, and everyone can grow up. This is for my sister, and I want to take it with her."

After the second half of the sentence was finished, the father and daughter were speechless for a while.

Looking aside along the scroll, there are already several completed works there.Looking at it, without exception, it is the most lively scene in the Lin Mansion.

Lin Ruhai carefully put away the scroll.

"I have something to discuss with you. Now that the court is stable and new people are changing, I intend to resign. When your sister gets married, how about we go back to Yangzhou? Or the ancestral home in Gusu. The climate is pleasant there, so it is convenient for you to grow flowers and grass , and it’s closer to Fujian.”

Having seen the changes of courts, and once held high positions, Lin Ruhai has no regrets in his official career, so he naturally wants to start enjoying life.

Lin Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, pleasantly surprised for a moment, and agreed wholeheartedly.

"Of course it's good. Let's go home at ease and stay away from the hustle and bustle of the capital as soon as possible."

In terms of prosperity, there is no place comparable to the capital city.In terms of confusion, there is also no place comparable to the capital.Since you are not greedy for prosperity, there is nothing wrong with leaving as soon as possible.

The father and daughter agreed that they couldn't wait to start marrying Lin Yunbei, and began to think about how to renovate the old house after returning home.Expand the garden here, build a medicine garden there, and even Lin Ruhai has planned to open a private school, taking into account the future study of his grandson.

Lin Yun came back from Cheng's house in the evening, looked at the beaming two people, and suspected that he had missed a big event.

"Could it be that there is any good news today, and tell me about it?"

"There is good news, but it has nothing to do with you."

When Lin Ruhai resigns from office, Lin Yun will go to Fujian early, isn't it irrelevant?Lin Daiyu kept a secret and took out the dowry list.

"Look, there are other things you want, I'll add them for you."

Although Lin Yun is the elder sister, it is not easy to prepare the marriage by herself. Lin Ruhai is responsible for the outside dowry such as land and shop, and Lin Daiyu is responsible for the inside such as clothes and jewelry.

The three-fold list is full of writing, and it is scary to look at.

"These are enough, but I don't think it's too much. The journey is far away, and I'm afraid I'll lose it on the way, so I don't need to add more."

"How can this be possible? My father ordered someone to build a set of furniture a few years ago, and it will be delivered in a few days, and your ancestral property has not been included. Aunt Cheng's family will come to give you a wedding, and there will be makeup at that time. Make room."

Lin Daiyu counted with her fingers, but after thinking about it, she still missed a lot, so she refused to let Lin Yun continue to read, took the list and went out to make adjustments.

"...Am I going to move there directly with a family?"

Looking at the empty hands, thinking about what he saw on the list just now, Lin Yun already knew that this was destined to be a long way to go before he set off.

Lin's mansion was immersed in a festive atmosphere, and everyone was busy with the wedding, but Master Chen quietly came here at this time.

"Master Lin, I have found out who is behind the scenes, but it will be even more difficult to report him!"

After working hard for several days to find clues and evidence, Mr. Chen's eyes were bright, but his face showed fatigue due to continuous fatigue.

Lin Ruhai hurriedly asked someone to serve him ginseng tea.

"Take care of yourself when dealing with important matters, and speak slowly."

"The young official who was transferred back to the capital is the son of a loyal servant of Prince Zhongshun. Apart from him, there are several other people who were dispatched abnormally. It's just that he made too much noise to attract attention, so I asked me to catch it."

Halfway through, he picked up the ginseng tea and drank it in one gulp, wiped his mouth carelessly and continued.

"Following him, I've already found four or five people, and I'm sure to find more if I continue to investigate. At first, I thought that the loyal and obedient prince was upright and wise, but it turned out that he was the same as those old masters who played power!"

I thought it was a personal bribe, but unexpectedly pulled out the whole clue, Mr. Chen was so angry and hated that he slammed the table and almost knocked the teacup off.

"They are all the same, but Lord Zhongshun was lucky enough to stand on the same front as His Majesty, so he has the status today. It's a pity that the defeat of the old honor did not make him reflect on himself, but made him even more arrogant."

Lin Ruhai laughed ironically.If he hadn't seen the essence clearly earlier, how could he have simply refused the marriage proposal of Prince Zhongshun, even at the expense of offending a few outspoken words?

Relying on his meritorious service to act recklessly, but it is a pity that His Majesty is different from the Supreme Emperor. He is still in his prime and recruits newcomers. How can he allow such a person who wields power to live in the court?

"Master Chen, you are an upright person, and you will not let go of any injustice, but I still want to remind you a few words, don't be impulsive. Prince Zhongshun is not other nobles, and you must have enough definite evidence before you can make a decision."

"Lord Lin, don't worry, even though I am impulsive, I don't want to die in vain. I came here this time to discuss countermeasures with you. The evidence I have now can only bring down those who flatter and work for you. It is not enough to kill Prince Zhongshun. Lord Lin, please help me."

Mr. Chen stood up to straighten his clothes, and even saluted Lin Ruhai.

Being so upright, Lin Ruhai stretched out his hand to help him up.

"This statement is wrong. As an official, for His Majesty and for the people, how can you help me? I also have some evidence in my hand, but the time has not yet come. If you can't hit the prince with one blow, you and I will hit the stone with the egg."

The two looked at each other, Master Chen was a little irritable.Lin Ruhai comforted.

"But now I see, he can't wait. But you and I are not enough, and others need to help."

Lin Fu talked about Wang Fu, and Wang Fu also talked about Lin Fu.

The palace hosted a banquet, but the guests were not the famous relatives, but two minor officials from the Imperial Academy.

"The reception at the family banquet is not good enough, please don't dislike the two masters Lin."

Crown Prince Zhongshun raised his hand and toasted, and those who sat on his hands were the two younger generations of the Lin family who had gone to Beijing to rush for the imperial examination.

The two of them scored in the middle of the palace examination, and now they are temporarily unemployed in the Hanlin Academy, receiving a sixth-rank salary.Suddenly received an invitation from the palace, and dared not not come, and felt restless when he came.

"Your Majesty's words are serious, and I am a low-ranking official, how dare you work hard and invite your Majesty?"

During these days in Beijing, I have also learned some polite words, trembling with fear in my heart, but trying my best to maintain respect on the surface.

But they are so young, how can they hide it from the loyal son?After seeing enough of them pretending to be calm, they put down their wine glasses.

"Don't be nervous, you two, just gossip and make friends."

The thing is like this, I said that the update lasted for a week in the early morning, but I counted the wrong time, thinking that the day before yesterday was the seventh day, but in fact it was the seventh day yesterday, so I lost a day...
