[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family

Mother Lin opened her mouth, but finally walked away.

Shuli stayed behind, and said to Chixia: "Wait a while, let the young master and young mistress come to the wife's room."

After speaking, she left without hesitation.

It's just that when no one saw her, her face was quickly stained with a thin blush.

The young master and the young mistress are also right, in broad daylight, why...

Shuli thought that Lin's mother must be very angry. After all, Lin's mother is also a lady from a scholarly family. Even if she is enlightened, she still avoids such things as prostitution in the daytime.

But when she caught up with Mother Lin, she found that she had calmed down.

"Madam?" Shuli was not sure whether Mother Lin was so angry that she could no longer express herself, or whether she really had stopped being angry.

Lin's mother didn't know what to think of, and she laughed helplessly: "I was thinking about it just now."

Since that maid wants to climb into the bed, it is impossible for her not to make any preparations. It is not impossible to give Ruhai some reminders, love fragrances, etc. Ruhai drove away the maid and went to find her daughter-in-law. You should be angry.

Besides, even if the girl didn't use other means, if Ruhai and his daughter-in-law can get along in broad daylight... it also shows that the relationship between the two is good. At least she doesn't have to worry about Ruhai's daughter-in-law's feelings for Ruhai, let alone her own. The grandson is late.

The scene just now had a great impact on Mother Lin, and she didn't want to do anything to her son and daughter-in-law, so she could only keep brainwashing herself, trying to convince herself that the scene just now was really nothing.

When Mother Lin was brainwashing herself, her expression was calm, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

Shuli looked and looked again and again, and could only believe her words.

After about a while, Jia Shu's voice came from the room: "Chixia, ask someone to bring water in."

Chixia: "..." Young Mistress, you have a big heart.

She had no choice but to ask Cuiyan to call for water, but she pushed the door open first.

Jia Shu leaned against Lin Ruhai, and immediately turned around when he heard the voice: "Who?"

"Young Mistress, you are a slave."

Jia Shu was stunned for a moment: "Chixia? Why did you come in?"

If it was Cuiyan who came in, she didn't think it was strange, but if it was Chixia, she couldn't help wondering if something happened.

Chixia has always been the most disciplined, and it is impossible to enter the door at this time.

Chixia tried her best to keep her tone steady: "Go back to young mistress, my wife just came here."

Jia Shu stared, and before he could speak, Lin Ruhai growled, "What did you say? Mother came?"

Jia Shu hastily stretched out his hand to comfort Lin Ruhai, and at the same time asked Chixia: "Did mother hear..."

"My wife asked you to go to her room later."

Jia Shu: ...So, Mother Lin must have heard it?

Jia Shu's whole life was going bad: "Why didn't you remind me?"

"Young Mistress, we knocked on the door." Chi Xia was about to cry.

Wasn't the miss very alert before?Not to mention their knocking on the door, even a small noise can wake her up.

Jia Shu: "..." When doing that, who remembers to be vigilant at all times, and it's not in a state of war.

Lin Ruhai was on the verge of crying, but when he saw Jia Shu, he summoned up his courage and said, "Ruosang, don't worry, this matter is all my husband's fault. When you get to mother's place later, don't open your mouth. It's your husband's fault." explain."

Manager Jia Shu kept smiling. This matter must be Lin Ruhai's fault. Otherwise, if Mother Lin knew that she was dragging her son to "promote prostitution in the daytime" and didn't even go to work because of it, Mother Lin might not strangle her.

The two quickly washed and tidied up, and immediately went to Mother Lin's yard.

Mother Lin sat on the chair with her hands tightly closed, and the prayer beads in her hands were spinning quickly.

As Jia Shu watched, his heart couldn't help but lift up.

The rhythm of the storm.

The two stood in front of Mother Lin who didn't even look at them, with their heads down, not daring to say a word.

Leaving aside Li Ruhai, Jia Shu was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Since she married into the Lin family, Lin's mother has never been to their yard. Who knew that it was rare for her to be caught by her mother-in-law once she messed up in spite of the rules?

This luck, God?

Mother Lin has been sitting there without speaking, but the air pressure in her body is extremely low.

Lin Ruhai hesitated, and said, "Mother?"

Mother Lin opened her eyes: "Oh, you are here. Why don't you sit down?"

Said, pointing to the chair next to him.

Lin Ruhai took Jia Shu's hand and walked to the chair on the right, and let Jia Shu sit down first.

Although he felt that scolding would be unavoidable today, Jia Shu's mood was not affected too much, and the moment he met Lin Ruhai's eyes, he smiled at him.

Lin Ruhai's ears turned red, she pursed her lips and smiled, and then sat next to her.

Even when they sat down, the atmosphere between the two of them was always surrounded by a slightly sweet feeling that made people feel warm, and it was hard to bear to destroy it.

Mother Lin saw everything in her eyes, and her mood improved a lot.

Thinking about what she happened to encounter just now, she sighed, gave up beating, and brought up another matter: "Didn't Shu'er say that she wants to open a store in Jiangnan? Do you need the help of the Lin family?"

Jia Shu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but this was the second time Mother Lin had said that she would use the Lin family's connections to help her open a store, and if she refused again, she would be a bit ignorant.

But the shop in Jiangnan has been handed over to the emperor, and although [-]% of the bonus has been given to Emperor Qisheng, for the three sisters Jia Shu, it is a steady profit.

She didn't hide Mother Lin's intentions, she told the matter.

And said: "Because the Holy Majesty has not summoned the husband for a long time, the daughter-in-law is asking the father to help the Holy Majesty with the message."

Mother Lin didn't know about this, she looked at Lin Ruhai with a little worry: "What's going on?"

As the emperor's attendant, how could he not see the emperor for a long time?

Lin Ruhai still doesn't know what's going on, but there's nothing he can do if the emperor doesn't summon him.And he couldn't go to the emperor to question why the emperor didn't summon him all the time, and even when he was on duty, he simply replaced him with a bachelor's student or a bachelor's lecturer.

He had been spending his lunch break in the Hanlin Academy some time ago, because he thought the emperor hadn't summoned him because his knowledge was not as deep as the two bachelors.

Jia Shu guessed it: "My daughter-in-law thinks that Xu Husband spoke too bluntly when he talked with the Holy One that day."

Only then did Mother Lin remember what her son's first words were when he saw the emperor, and she immediately said, "..."

She understood it in her heart, but she also knew that it was not good to tell her son, so she changed the subject: "Counting, have you ever had your period in the past two months?"

Jia Shu: "...only left half a month ago."

After Lin's mother asked from time to time, Jia Shu was able to answer this kind of thing without changing his expression.

Anyway, she won't have children for at least the next few years, no matter how much she asks, it's impossible to change.

Mother Lin was a little disappointed, but didn't say anything more.

The two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, and Lin's mother waved directly to let Lin Ruhai and his wife leave.

Until she left Mother Lin's yard, Lin Ruhai still hadn't realized it: "Why didn't Mother ask us just now..."

When this topic was mentioned, Lin Ruhai blushed again.

Jia Shu was also a little puzzled. Didn't the ancients take prostitution very seriously?Why didn't Mother Lin ask a single question?Besides, she could see that Mother Lin really cared about this matter.

But it was a good thing for Jia Shu and his wife if she didn't ask.

She simply put aside the question, chatted and laughed with Lin Ruhai and walked towards her yard.

-

More than half a month later, Jia Shu called Chixia and Cuiyan to his side: "The candidates for the marriage that I told you before, I have selected a few candidates according to your requirements."

Because Cuiyan didn't ask for it herself, but let Jia Shu take full control, she put Cuiyan's marriage to the back.

She looked at Chi Xia: "I asked Ru Hai, there are two bookboys and two young servants around him, both of whom have reached the age of marriage. However, the families of two of them have already decided on marriage candidates for them, and only the books are left and some ink."

"Does Chixia still have any memories of these two?"

Chixia blushed and nodded, "I remember."

How could Chixia have no impression of them who dealt with them the most by holding books?As for the other person named Dianmo, because she was taciturn and didn't like to talk, she didn't have a deep impression, but she only remembered that he was a very stable person.

Seeing Chixia's reaction, Jia Shu heaved a sigh of relief, it's not as if he didn't feel it.

If Chixia didn't have any feelings for these two people, maybe she would have to find another manager for her.

"Then I will choose your marriage candidate from these two."

Chixia blushed and bowed her head: "But let the young mistress make the decision."

Jia Shu had a good impression of these two people. He was clever and tactful in holding books, steady and capable in ink, which matched Chixia very well.

Moreover, both of these two were bought into the Lin family since they were young, and they were both single and had no other relatives.No matter who Chixia marries, she can directly take charge of the family, and the young couple manages their own life, as long as they don't act like monsters, it will be all right.

At first, Jia Shu felt that Dianmo might be more suitable for Chixia. After all, the two had similar personalities and would not quarrel easily.But think about it, Chixia may not have had much contact with Dianmo, and she is unlikely to have any affection for Dianmo.

After thinking about it, she tentatively said, "Then how about I betroth you to Peng Shu?"

Chixia knelt down: "The slaves and servants listen to the young mistress."

Jia Shu laughed, "I'm not in a hurry for now, I have to ask for the opinion of the book."

Although she asked Peng Shu if he would marry the maid beside her, he agreed.But she didn't say it was Chixia at the time, so after asking Chixia's wishes, she had to ask Pingshu again.

But thinking about it, holding a book should not be rejected.

Thinking of this, Jia Shu looked at Cuiyan again: "Cuiyan, with your personality, it's actually not suitable to stay in the mansion."

Cui Yan raised her head abruptly, just in time to meet Jia Shu's smiling eyes, she squirmed her lips for a moment, and finally lowered her head in discouragement: "Your servant knows."

Not only the incident that almost destroyed the relationship between Jia Shu and Lin Ruhai last time, but also some small incidents earlier...

Cuiyan has always known that her temperament is too detached and she is not suitable to be by Jia Shu's side.

but……

pat-

Cuiyan's tears poured down on the ground: "This servant is reluctant to part with Miss."

Jia Shu sighed: "Look, you still call me Miss."

Cui Yan was taken aback for a moment, then sobbed.

After she had cried enough, Jia Shu said, "You are just married, and you haven't been sold, so why are you still crying? I don't know, but you thought I was bullying you."

Hearing this, Cuiyan quickly wiped away her tears: "Little... the young mistress did not bully the slaves."

Jia Shu patted her hand: "Because most of the rouge and gouache recipes in the Makeup Pavilion are made by you, and the preparation techniques of those rouge and gouache are also taught by you, so I thought, let you marry How about the steward of the Makeup Pavilion?"

Cui Yan looked up blankly: "Which one?"

Jia Shu couldn't help laughing: "As for the make-up shop in the south of the city, I asked someone about it. He lost his mother when he was young, and his father also passed away a few years ago. Now there is only one younger brother who is only three years younger than him in the family. Separation. He has outstanding ability, is young, and has a gentle personality, so he is a very good husband-in-law."

If it hadn't been for the three-year delay in father's filial piety, there would be no such thing as Cuiyan now.

Cui Yan blinked: "Can he take a fancy to slaves?"

Jia Shu smiled: "Why don't you like it? Although I can't give you a dividend from the shop, once you make a new rouge in the future, I will reward you with a lot of money. With your ability, you can make one in a short time." Little rich woman, how could he look down on you?"

Cuiyan remained silent, although she heard that this person was very nice, and she also knew that the young lady would not harm her, but she still did not want to leave the young lady.

Chixia and Cuiyan grew up together, and immediately understood what she was hesitating about: "Cuiyan, after passing this village, there will be no such shop. If you don't catch it now, that person will marry you soon." Others, if you still want to have such a good husband, you will have no chance."

If it weren't for her parents, Chixia would have been moved when she heard about this person's conditions.

Cuiyan finally nodded in agreement.

Jia Shu patted Cuiyan's head: "Cuiyan, you have to understand that I'm not driving you away. It's just that the identity of the Lin family is doomed. In the future, everyone who associates with me will be noble, and I can't offend them easily. It's impossible for all of them to be Those who have good intentions towards the Lin family, if anyone wants to find fault, with your temperament..."

Cuiyan's eyes were red, and she nodded with a choked voice: "The servant knows that the lady is for the sake of the servant, but the servant just doesn't want to part with the lady..."

Even if she grew up in a place with loose rules like Rongguo Mansion, there is no Jia Baoyu in Rongguo Mansion who can praise all the beautiful girls to the sky. As a maid, how can she have a good life in Rongguo Mansion?

Jia Shu was just a neglected concubine in Rongguo Mansion, and she knew that the maids assigned to her would not be outstanding.

But even so, Jia Shu never disliked her, and even treated her and Chixia very well.

When Chixia heard this, her eyes were also red, but after all she had strong control, she didn't really cry like Cuiyan.

Jia Shu thought it was funny: "Caizhuang Pavilion is my most profitable business. Every month I take time to go to various branches. I'm afraid I won't see you?" She looked at Chixia again, "Chixia is also , even if you get married, you will stay by my side to serve me, why are you crying?"

As the mistress, her dowry also needs a trustworthy person to help manage it. Apart from the nanny and foster mother who have been sent out, is there anyone else in this house who is more trustworthy than Chixia?

Only then did Cui Yan smile through tears.

Chixia's expression gradually calmed down, and she smiled at Jia Shu.

The marriage of the two maids, even though Jia Shukan personally watched over the previous relationship, it only took two months before it was over.It's completely different from Jia Shu's situation where it takes at least a year from engagement to marriage.

Chixia and Cuiyan are married, Lin's mother thinks that Jia Shu has no one around, so she asks Yazi to bring a group of thirteen and fourteen-year-old girls.

Although he is not very used to human trafficking, Jia Shu still patiently picked out six girls from among them.She just got married before going to the palace, and Lin's mother gave her two first-class maids and two second-class maids, and there are more than ten people serving in her room.

Mother Lin was satisfied: "This is the dignity that a countess should have."

Jia Shu had no choice but to nod.

After debating for a long time, Jia Shu named the four maidservants selected, namely Xuefu, Shuangling, Lujie, and Wuting.

The four maidservants quickly knelt down: "Thank you young mistress."

Being busy with Chixia Cuiyan's marriage for the past two months, Jia Shu didn't pay much attention, and when he came back to his senses——

Bad, she actually forgot to check on the sixth prince.

The sixth prince's reputation among the people is not obvious, even if he is a minister, few have noticed him.

But he is a prince after all, so it is quite easy to investigate.

At least in the palace, the sixth prince is quite a special character——

Although transparent, no one does not know him.

Judging from the current ranking, there is no doubt that the Sixth Prince is the sixth son of Emperor Qisheng.But in fact, before him, Emperor Qisheng had a prince who died before the full moon.

The prince is the son of the successor, a serious son.

He was just born, and Emperor Qisheng took him back to the Qianqing Palace because he loved him too much.Because of Emperor Qisheng's attitude, everyone was guessing at that time that the sixth prince might not be the crown prince's rival in the future.

Unfortunately, a wind and cold took his life.

Emperor Qisheng was so sad that he even lost interest in the harem for a while, and became perfunctory towards the prince.

The mother concubine of the sixth prince happened to be pregnant with the sixth prince at that time, because she felt that giving birth to the sixth prince while the iron was hot would definitely relieve Qi Shengdi's pain and make him love his child more, so she took it by herself regardless of her health. She took the oxytocin and gave birth to him prematurely in July on the day of the sixth prince's hundredth day.

But it didn't take long for the sixth prince to be found out by the imperial physician. He was weak due to premature birth, and he didn't take good care of him afterwards. He might not survive.

A prince destined to die young has no future, no threat, no hope, so naturally no one is willing to pay attention.

In order to avoid being overly sad when the white-haired man gave off the black-haired man in the future, Emperor Qisheng never visited the palace of the sixth prince, mother and concubine.

The sixth prince's mother and concubine couldn't make money by stealing chickens, so she angered the sixth prince.

But the sixth prince is her only support for the rest of her life, even if she has a lot of thoughts in her heart, she can only treat the sixth prince well.

The sixth prince grew up in such an environment.

After Jia Shu inquired about this, he controlled the fat mouse's calf to run quickly to the sixth prince's palace——

Since the last time he manipulated this mouse to trick Jia Daishan and a kind of Hanlin, somehow, this fat mouse seemed to have spotted her, and lived in her room directly, anyway, no matter when she looked for her , can find it in the corner.

Jia Shu didn't bother to change another creature's possession every time. It happened that as long as it was not daytime, the mouse's figure would not be noticed, so she directly raised the mouse.

Xu is that no one really loves him since he was a child, and the sixth prince doesn't seem to care much about him.

Knowing that even if the other brothers were all dead, Emperor Qisheng would not necessarily consider letting him succeed, but the sixth prince still couldn't control the ambition in his heart and wanted to take that position.

But no one is willing to help him, he can only plan step by step by himself.

Makeup Pavilion is a store he has spotted. If he can get it in his hands, at least he won't have to worry about the funds needed to win the position.

Therefore, even if he took advantage of Seventh Emperor Sister who had a good relationship, he knew that after she reacted, the two of them would have to tear their faces apart and cut off contact, and he didn't regret it at all.

Unexpectedly, when she was about to succeed, her father stepped in.

The sixth prince Tumu gritted his teeth with hatred during this time, but he couldn't do anything to Emperor Qisheng yet.

"Sixth prince, calm down, a make-up pavilion is nothing. If the sixth prince can gain a firm foothold in the officialdom, other people will flock to him. Are you afraid that he will run out of money by then?" the little eunuch beside Tu Mu said in a low voice. .

Tu Mu snorted: "You said it lightly, but now the father hasn't even arranged for the fifth brother's errands, how can you think of me?"

The little eunuch's eyes rolled around a few times, and his eyes were smug: "Sixth prince, this servant has found out some news."

Tu Mu narrowed his eyes: "What news?"

"The emperor is going to open the Makeup Pavilion to the south of the Yangtze River."

"Jiangnan?" Tu Mu's eyes lit up, but then fell silent in an instant, "What does it have to do with me?"

Father Huang has a lot of people in his hands, and he will never let other people get involved in the business of the Makeup Pavilion.

He looked at the little eunuch with unfriendly eyes, "It's nothing to persuade me that the Makeup Pavilion is nothing, but now it's used to seduce me again, Zhou Kang, are you tired of work?"

Zhou Kang hurriedly confessed, and said again: "The makeup pavilion is not the point that the servants want to talk about."

"Ok?"

"The emperor wants to open a store in Jiangnan, but he can't let his staff leave with great fanfare, so those who go to Jiangnan to open a store will go with the new inspector Yushi."

"The new Xunyan Yushi?" Hearing "Xunyan Yushi", Tu Mu cheered up, "Who is it?"

"The doctor of Lantai Temple, Qian Daozhi."

"Qian Daozhi?" Tu Mu frowned, "How could it be him? Isn't he from Brother Wuhuang?"

Non-emperor's cronies are not allowed to hold such a position as inspector of salt and censor, but Emperor Qisheng sent a member of the Fifth Prince to take up this official position...

Is there any other meaning behind this?

-

After Jia Shu returned to Lin's house, he thought about the doctor of Lantai Temple named Qian Daozhi.

If she remembers correctly, in the Dream of Red Mansions, Lin Ruhai's last official position was as a doctor of Lantai Temple and concurrently as the inspector of salt.

She had heard a saying that the official title of the doctor of Lantai Temple was changed from Doctor Yushi.Because most of the censors have been serving as officials in the capital, if they want to go further and enter the cabinet, they must be released...

This Qian Daozhi is likely to be the candidate for the next cabinet bachelor that Emperor Qisheng is looking for.

But according to the sixth prince, this person belongs to the fifth prince.

Jia Shu only felt a headache. These princes simply had brain problems. They fought like black corns for a throne, and if they were careless, they would involve other innocent people.

Jia Shu was originally lying on the bed, and after sighing, he wanted to get up, but he felt that the world was spinning for a while, and one of them couldn't stand still, and fell directly on the bed.

Xuefu, who was standing by and waited on her, suddenly panicked: "Young Mistress, what's wrong with you? Shuangling, hurry up and call the imperial physician!"
