On the second day, Xue Pan really got up early in the morning and went to the Yamen to look for his Uncle Lin.Lin Ruhai heard that he had beaten someone yesterday, and when he saw Xue Pan, he asked him to stand up and go over the matter from beginning to end, and at the end he poked the boy on the forehead and said bitterly, "You are such a stupid person!" Yes, if you have a ready-made handle, you won’t be able to use it if you grab it, what’s the use of beating a rotten person with that screwdriver, don’t you want to think about where the source is?” After speaking, he squinted at Xue Pan and said, “Follow me and look at the school Xue, you can be regarded as a scholar, how can you be so reckless." Xue Pan didn't dare to say more, and followed Lin Ruhai respectfully, just waiting for Uncle Lin to teach him how to find out people's right and wrong.

This Lin Ruhai was born in Tanhua in his early years. He was a prince of five generations in his family. He also presided over the salt administration in the south of the Yangtze River for many years.I don't know what he reported to the emperor, he joined the Ministry of Rites half a month after he entered Beijing, and his grade has not changed. After all, he entered the central center and only worked as a minister in the Ministry of Rites.There was no big court meeting that day, so Lin Ruhai got up at the end of his shift and said to the servants and doctors in the outside world: "It's still early today, why don't you all go to the teahouse outside to have a talk?" How can the people below be unflattering!Immediately, someone received: "A teahouse has recently opened in the west of the city, and there are people who play chess and play the piano, why don't you try it together?" Everyone got up and rode sedan chairs and went to the west of the city together.

Xue Pan followed Lin Ruhai with trepidation in his heart, the more blunt he was, the more he was afraid of meeting Mr. Gao Zhi. Poor Jian'er's entire etiquette department is full of top scholars at the moment, I think Xue Pan will serve in it It was as uncomfortable as a civet cat in a trap.Others saw that Lin Ruhai tried his best to let him go, but when talking about the allusions and chapters, Xue Pan was like falling into the clouds.After walking, I arrived at the tea house that the person said, and the outside room was really elegant and unusual.The clerk led people in, and immediately a doctor of tea greeted them and invited them into the private room. Xue Pan probed and looked, and even the water signs were filled with poems, and those who couldn't understand even ordered them himself.Several officials from the Ministry of Rituals, headed by Lin Ruhai, shook their heads and wagged their heads after the guests and hosts were seated. Got the feature film.

The tea doctor over there had finished serving, and went down with an unused clay stove to wait. This Lin Ruhai sighed and said to everyone: "Our Ministry of Rites is the most leisurely among the six departments. Now the book review is over. Every day It's very indecent to see the three melons and two dates being tossed about in the court, and I don't know where to start from, what's your opinion?" After hearing this, the bystanders murmured in their hearts, wondering if it was possible that this person had joined the team and was about to end. Fighting with sleeves, Lin Ruhai took a sip of tea and turned a corner and continued: "To say the word 'ritual' is the most important thing for scholars in my generation, how can it be easily destroyed?" It seemed that he really just saw that the Minister of the Ministry of Households and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry were blind to Sarai every day, and the others didn't know what he was referring to, so they just hummed and commented.

Just as he was talking, Lin Ruhai suddenly pointed to Xue Pan who had been standing behind him and followed him stupidly, and said, "This is my in-law's nephew. He is so stupid. He was taken in as a disciple to teach him. What is he? Materials, these days, everyone can tell that they are children with absolutely no talent, and they behave wildly, so they are brought with them unless they are taught. As for Xue Pan's thick skin, he immediately smiled and bowed his hands together to salute all the adults present, and the others also accepted his salute with a smile. All the adults in the DPRK were born as Jinshi, so there is no need to worry about learning etiquette. It's just that these young children can become pillars of talent if they are taught well. Even such a hopeless clean-up may not People? I think all the children of Xungui's family are like this."

Everyone knew Xue Pan's background early in the morning, and the son of a merchant had passed the examination of a scholar in a strange way, so he was not very happy.But seeing that he followed Lin Ruhai to serve him diligently, and really put in a lot of hard work in studying, no one would care if he was not enlightened, but he felt pitiful and ridiculous for this child.Hearing what Lin Ruhai said, and comparing it with his disciples who were ten times and a hundred times worse than him in Beijing, he suddenly felt that Xue Pan was not as hurtful to his eyes as before, so he laughed and teased him, and then followed the words to Lin Ruhai's meaning .The left servant of the Ministry of Rites said: "The lower officials also feel that there has been a lot of noise in the capital recently, especially after the ladies returned to the province to travel, the children of the honorable families are not aware of the number of people who make trouble, the most abominable. It is disgusting to be a female Jin. It's really unreasonable to make such a toss up and become a coveted thing." The right servant of the Ministry of Rites was not far behind and said: "Your Excellency is very worried, and it is a far-reaching plan. These children really need to be educated. Originally, these things should be the affairs of the Imperial College, but right now it is already full, and the good children who are serious about studying can't teach them, so how can they let these troublesome creatures go in and mess up." The doctors below also complained, countermeasures It was not discussed, but it made it clear that the noble children of each family were innocent.Lin Ruhai sat on the main seat and said indifferently: "If you all go back and collect them and hand them over, I can write a note and pass it on to the present. I have to wait until the urgent matter is over to free up my hands to clean up these children."

Everyone quickly raised their teacups and praised him for his broad-mindedness. He even wanted to teach these muds that don't hang on the wall.After some compliments, the tea on the table was exhausted, and the fruits were almost used up, so Lin Ruhai got up and took Xue Pan to go first, leaving the others to sit behind.After leaving the teahouse, Xue Pan was still in a foggy head, Lin Ruhai sneered and said: "Don't look at the literati's loftiness, their mouths are as broken, but they just don't want to hold on to the children. Someone will pass this word to each family tomorrow." In Xungui's ears, those who drink with you don't even think about getting a fat beating. Hmph, if you dare to talk about my daughter, this matter is not over yet." He turned to look at Xue Pan again: "In the future If someone asks you to keep an eye on it, don't go anywhere. If someone catches you, do you still want the title of scholar that you worked so hard to memorize?"

Only then did Xue Pan break out in a cold sweat, remembering that if he really died of drunkenness in that building yesterday and someone would arrest him, his whole body would be covered in mouths and he wouldn't be able to explain why - the student should be arrested for getting drunk in such a place , It is considered light to remove fame and fame.Everything else is fine, only the exam is really tormenting, Xue Pan's ears drooped and he said: "I don't remember offending them, why did you hurt me so much?"

Lin Ruhai snorted coldly and said, "They all come from the same background. You have what they don't have, and that's enough. As for the others, I don't know. In short, you should be more careful in your life in the future. Things like this will be inevitable in the future." " Xue Pan hurriedly nodded in the back, and first sent the master back to the mansion, and then went to a famous old shop to order two catties of stewed meat before he went home.Mrs. Xue was still feeling uneasy, and she felt relieved when she saw her son coming back happily. As expected, the meat dish brought back from outside was served at the dinner table. The family of three sat together happily and ate it. Lips and teeth are fragrant.

After a few days, someone from Jia's family came to the door with a generous gift. They said that they had prepared a banquet for Shangyuan and wanted to invite relatives to get together. It was rescheduled, so I brought Lilly to apologize and wait for a better day in the future.When Mrs. Xue saw the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and cloth jewelry in the gift, she knew that she was using an excuse to come to the door to beg for mercy, which was three points more serious than before. She finally remembered to ask her son what she meant, and sent the person who came first to wait. After seeing the attitude of the Lin family, he copied the gift of the same amount.The servant took him back to answer, and Mrs. Wang looked pale and at a loss when she saw it, and looked at Jia Mu, who also shook her head and said, "Let's think of a reason to keep Baoyu at home for a few years, so that you can calm down and read and practice calligraphy. Going outside and getting someone to take him away. It won't be long before this matter fades away. It's nothing more than a child's unintentional mistake. His father beat him and punished him. What else? You don't need to let your master part Go to Xue Lin's family, don't do it because of this relative."

Mrs. Wang wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, stood up, saluted and retreated. When she got to the yard, she called her mother-in-law to go outside and talk to Jia Zheng.

As Lin Ruhai expected Jia Zheng, someone whispered to him the next day.It is said that his second-in-law son was not innocent when he spoke outside, and he got involved with the girl of the Minister of Rites, Master Lin's family. Her father knew about it and was trying to deal with these noble children who were spreading rumors.Jia Zheng was also a student in his early years, and his father wrote a book when he ascended to heaven. Today, the senior official gave him a family background, which also cut off his imperial examination path. He is still in the position of a member of the Ministry of Industry when he is middle-aged. , because I think people are quite literal-minded, and I like to talk about the principles of being a courtier with others.Finally, because of my daughter, I was promoted to a higher level. I was afraid that others would say him, but Baoyu bumped into him head-on.At present, Jia Zheng's class stopped working, and the errands were not good enough, so he rushed back as if flying, and bumped into Baoyu at home making those petal rouge pastes at home, so it was a good meal.As for how to go to the door to apologize to relatives later, I don't need to go into details, in short, I got better and better afterwards.

This year, the first month came out in a blink of an eye, and in April, there was no sunshine for several months. Even Qin Tianjian couldn't sit still and read his book. He only said that this year's rain is more abundant than in previous years, lest there will be another flood on both sides of the Yellow River and Huaihe River. To turn into a swamp country.The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households were still arguing endlessly, and when the possible floods were mentioned, the flags died down immediately. For a while, the adults in the court racked their brains and tried to raise a sum of money for disaster relief. Unfortunately, the treasury called Today's alchemy is so good that it is almost as fast as a horse, and the Minister of the Ministry of Finance always has all-powerful calculations, but he can't change money for nothing.

At this time, the empress in the harem issued an order for the family to be frugal, and people in the capital took action after hearing the news. Even if they removed two lanterns from their own gates, it would be a good idea anyway.Because of this Yuanchun, I suddenly remembered that the garden of visiting relatives was left for nothing, and if we didn't ask the whole family to move into it, it also implied that it would not be wasted.The Jia family got the mother's will, and immediately spread the news to several masters in the backyard. Jia's mother made the decision and asked the girl to pick a garden to move in, and sent a post to invite girls from relatives to come and play.Xue Lin's family refused to go, so the four kings and eight princes and other female relatives came forward to mediate, and finally gave the gift reluctantly.Mother Jia had no choice but to order the empty Hengwu Courtyard to be cleaned up for the guests to stay in. Then she sent someone to pick up Shi Xiangyun from her mother's house and came to live in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to play with Baoyu all day.

Baochai watched Lin Ruhai's actions coldly at home in the past few months, seeing that he was harmless, so she turned all her thoughts to the accounts of the pawn shop and the purchases in the palace.Because the matter of the river engineering account book was not over before, I didn't dare to startle the snake, and I didn't dare to tamper with the first two places in the future. Finally, this terrible thing was finally sent out. It can be regarded as leisure time to slowly put away the hairpin hairpin that the family runs. Purchasing is clear.In the middle, Xue Biao came from Jinling to pay the bills. Baochai simply divided half of the purchased land in the middle of the capital and gave it to Baoqin as a dowry.

A few days later, Xue Biao took the account book that Baochai had handed over and returned, and suddenly remembered something and said, "Do you know how many Zhuangzi in Jinling have been flooded?" Baochai nodded and said, "Zhuangzi The head sent someone to say that their rent has been reduced this year." Xue Biao frowned and shook his head: "So that the girl has a bottom line, the south will probably have no harvest this year, and the rain is like poking a hole. Don't stop, there are quite a few villages in other people's houses who are in low-lying places and they can already float cattle." Baochai thanked him for reminding him, explained the matter of buying grain and storing grain, and told him to be careful, and then let Xue Scorpion hurry go back.

A few months later, suddenly one day, there was a commotion on the street outside. Although soldiers from the five cities were dispatched to suppress it in time, many small businesses were still in disaster.As soon as the incident was reported to the public, they were outraged, and even the high-ranking households were discussing it. In the afternoon, it was discovered that a group of refugees had rushed into the capital at some time, and started to rob because of the extreme hunger in their stomachs.This is the imperial city, at the foot of the emperor, how could there be refugees mixed in here?It is impossible to say that there will be bandits tomorrow who dare to make up their minds.The emperor immediately ordered the three divisions to bring up the leader of the refugee for a joint trial. The trial was terrible. Only then did he realize that Huguang has turned into a swamp country from Dongting down, and all the mice outside were drowned and floated up. I thought the world was peaceful!Immediately, the court became a battlefield. Some people said that the thug was clearly trying to get rid of the crime and deliberately said such words to make him look pitiful.Then who did the previous people refute?The people behind said that the court had such an arrangement, and it was very lively over and over again.

In the end, the commander of Jin Yiwei who had been standing on the right side of His Majesty Dan's head and leaning against the pillar stood out and clapped his hands and said, "I report to the emperor, I have a book to play." It didn't matter what he said, and the hall immediately fell silent.On weekdays, Jin Yiwei tried his best not to make a sound, just stood aside with a face and stared at the officials in the hall one by one, but today he suddenly appeared, and unexpectedly, he gave a few elders who were standing not far away. Startled.

I saw the middle-aged man took out a booklet from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch. The emperor picked it up and flipped through two pages. Is there any evidence?" The commander of Jinyiwei replied: "Report to the emperor, the evidence is all there, and it is guarded by a person surnamed Liu below. Last year, another person surnamed Shen was sent to the south to investigate, and he wrote back saying these few days I will arrive in Beijing with my passport on the next day."

The emperor nodded and leaned back and said, "After we're done, stay with the senior officials in the cabinet. We will discuss this matter later." That being said, those who are familiar with the emperor's habits will know something is wrong as soon as they hear the sound. Those who were close raised their heads slightly and saw the emperor clenched his fists, and he shrank his neck and dared not let out a breath.After a moment of silence in the hall, the emperor heard the emperor say from above: "The treasury is empty, and we can't compete with the people for profit. Why don't we find another way to enrich the treasury." Then he looked down and said: "It's just that the sixth son also It's time to come out and do something, let the assistant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs make calculations for the internal coinage, and cut out unnecessary expenses as appropriate."

All the ministers couldn't figure out the emperor's pulse for a while, and they didn't dare to act rashly because of the brochure handed over by Jin Yiwei. At this time, no one came out to speak out, and the court meeting passed in such a daze.Only the eunuch above sang, and the civil servants and generals dispersed on both sides.Lin Ruhai was chatting with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials every sentence, and then he heard the eunuch Dai Quan's thin and thin voice shouting: "Lord Lin, stop! The emperor is calling for you."

When Lin Ruhai heard the words, he really stopped, cupped his hands and expressed his annoyance to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, then turned his head and followed Dai Quan to the cabinet's big study.Along the way, Lin Ruhai arranged her clothes quietly, and then took out a small bag and stuffed it for Dai Quan.He didn't need to open his mouth, Dai Quan squeezed the things in his hands and was happy: "Lord Lin is spending money, the emperor is not in a good mood now, but it's not for your lords. It's just because some things have something to do with Nanbianer, so I invited you Come here and ask me." Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "Eunuch Lao is taking care, I have been back to Beijing for almost a year, and I don't know about some things in the south of the Yangtze River, where did this start?" Just as I was talking, the door of the big study was right there It's ahead, Dai Quan shut his mouth and turned around to gesture to Lin Ruhai, the latter nodded his head knowingly when he saw it, it happened that the little eunuch was calling his name, and there was a voice of letting in, Lin Ruhai bowed his head and knelt down to salute, After getting up, I saw that apart from the emperor sitting on top with a dark face, the four cabinet ministers were all standing at the bottom sadly.

The emperor didn't say much, he pointed to the memorial on the table and said to Lin Ruhai, "Look at it yourself, and talk after reading it." Lin Ruhai hurriedly bowed again, held the memorial with his sleeve, opened it and read it at a glance After reading it again, his face turned pale.

It turned out that during the summer and autumn of last year, Jin Yiwei got the news from an informant, saying that all the dams in the Jianghuai, Huanghuai, and Huguang lands were shoddy, and they even falsely reported that the first and second ends of the service's wife were empty, and those river dykes were decayed for many years. It has to be rectified, the amount of gold and silver that has been corrupted is only known but its whereabouts are unknown.The commander immediately dispatched Shen Yu, who was the first to know about the matter, and Shen Qian, who was the first to know about the incident, took spies to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate overnight. He didn't want people to go, but he was in danger several times, and finally found witnesses. .

Thinking back and forth about the looting of the refugees in the past few days, even Lin Ruhai's back was covered with cold sweat.

The author has something to say: It's later, mainly to think about the name.What, please help me choose one, is it "Sister Bao's Rebirth and Struggle", or "My Old Lady Quits", or "Don't Stop Me"... The author is a bad name, it seems Tomorrow I have to change the name and even the copywriting again...
