What disturbed Lin Ruhai now was not the difficult heir, nor the upcoming assessment, but Jia Zheng came here from time to time to ask questions about the assessment.

At first Lin Ruhai felt that Jia Zheng was inexperienced and would tell him a thing or two, but later Lin Ruhai would be a fool if he couldn't see Jia Zheng's intentions.Since he couldn't trust what his elder brother did for him, then don't rely on the old lady to speak up.

"I don't know what the second brother-in-law thinks..."

When Lin Ruhai was resting at night, he talked to Jia Min about Jia Zheng's coming again tonight.

Jia Min was also extremely disappointed with Jia Zheng's actions over the past few years.At any rate, the second sister-in-law would please her mother to make her happy. The second elder brother didn't know how to make progress at all, so he knew how to follow behind the second sister-in-law to snag mother's good things.

"How else can I think about it? I always feel that the eldest brother will not help him sincerely. The second brother has been dawdling in the Yamen, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry. Does the eldest brother know about this, and what did the eldest brother say?"

Lin Ruhai had already talked to Jia She, but Jia She gave Lin Ruhai an idea, and he specially treated Jia Zheng's "heart disease".Jia Min was curious about what kind of idea his elder brother would come up with, so he probably wouldn't be too serious.

Jia Amnesty's idea was indeed very unscrupulous, and Jia Min laughed awkwardly after hearing this.Lin Ruhai sighed for a while, said to take a break earlier, and then stopped talking.

When Jia Zheng came to harass Lin Ruhai with a book the next day, the servants in the mansion didn't hide Lin Ruhai's whereabouts, and directly said that Mr. Lin followed the master to the yamen for breakfast.I don't know when I will be back.

Jia Zheng wasted no time, wondering if his brother-in-law would not do him this favor as he walked?

When Jia Zheng came over, Lin Ruhai's letter had already been delivered to Jia's mother.The content of this letter was written verbatim according to what Jia She said, and he said that he would know what to do after he opened it in the Longtan Temple in the suburbs of Beijing.

But the person who took this letter to Longtan Temple was not Jia Zheng, but Jia Zheng's wife, Mrs. Wang, had to go.

At first, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang didn't understand what Lin Ruhai meant by making such a move.Later, Jia's mother thought that her son-in-law was able to inspect the salt censor at a young age, so he must have his own contacts.Perhaps the nobleman who practiced in Longtan Temple was a benefactor, so he asked the second daughter-in-law to go there with the letter.

"Back up the gift, take this letter and go to Longtan Temple!"

As it was related to her husband's official career, Mrs. Wang did not dare to neglect her, she clutched Lin Ruhai's letter and hurried out of the old lady's room.

As soon as Mrs. Wang left on the front foot, Jia Zheng slipped into Jia Mu's room on the back foot.Jia Zheng didn't say directly that his brother-in-law refused to help him, but just sighed from time to time.

What else could Jia Zheng sigh because of, the only thing left is the assessment.Jia's mother hurriedly wrote Lin Ruhai a letter, telling Jia Zheng that his daughter-in-law took him to Longtan Temple to meet an expert.

"You, I misunderstood your brother-in-law, hurry up and prepare a gift later." Jia Mu said that she asked Jia Zheng to prepare a gift for Lin Ruhai, but there was nothing good in Jia Zheng's private treasury, and in the end it was Jia Mu who opened her own. The storeroom prepared some supplements for Lin Ruhai for Jia Zheng to send over...

Although Longtan Temple is in the outskirts far away from the capital, there is not a lot of incense.Just because everyone says that seeking a child here is very effective, so people who want to seek a child will come to pay respects no matter how far away they are.

Mrs. Wang doesn't know who can have a high-ranking person here, but her brother-in-law is a high-ranking official from the third rank, so it should be like the old lady said, she has connections that they don't know about.

Along the way, Mrs. Wang ignored the fact that she had just recovered from her back injury, and urged the driver to drive faster from time to time, causing her bones to shatter, but she arrived at the gate of Longtan Temple around noon.

Tired and hungry, Mrs. Wang still didn't dare to neglect, and went directly to the main hall mentioned by the person who delivered the letter in the morning.There were quite a few people who came to beg for a child. Mrs. Wang looked around for several times but did not see anyone who seemed to be able to help her husband.

It was very strange to think that the person who could help was in Longtan Temple. Mrs. Wang felt that there might be a "secret signal" when they met, and the servant who sent the message forgot to say it.So Mrs. Wang began to pretend to be smart, and stood in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the middle of the hall, and shook the letter brightly.

I'm afraid that the servants who are waiting for the nobleman in the dark will not see that there is a person asking for help.

No one came over for a long time, so Mrs. Wang panicked, and hurriedly tore open the envelope and took out the letter paper inside, hoping there was a way to tell her that she could meet the nobleman.

When Mrs. Wang, who was full of expectations, saw that there were only six characters on the letter paper, "Pray for Guanyin Bodhisattva", she felt dark in front of her eyes and felt weak on the soles of her feet, as if she was about to pass out.Seeing that the master was not standing still, Zhou Rui's family hurriedly stepped forward to support Mrs. Wang.

"Too deceiving!"

After Madam Wang stabilized her body, she almost squeezed these four words out between her teeth.

Is it necessary to run so far to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva?Still in a temple for begging for a child?This Lin Ruhai did it on purpose, he is just like Da Fang!

Mrs. Wang was still a little unwilling to go back like this.Looking up at the statue of Avalokitesvara with benevolent brows, Mrs. Wang broke away from the support of Zhou Rui's family, stepped forward in three steps and knelt on the futon, kowtowed three times vigorously, and kept praying to Avalokitesvara to bless her to conceive again as soon as possible For a child, it is best to make this child stand out and be named a prince and prime minister!

It would be even better if my sister-in-law could not conceive a child in this lifetime...

"Let's eat vegetarian food first!" Mrs. Wang said after getting up.

Mrs. Wang's eyes seemed to be poisoned, and Zhou Rui's family trembled in fright, and they followed behind Mrs. Wang not daring to say a word, and only asked in a low voice what to do with those generous gifts when Mrs. Wang was full.

Thinking that there was still a generous gift that could not be given away, Mrs. Wang, who made the trip for nothing, felt better.Naturally, these gifts were to be received in her treasury. She had to think about how the old lady would fool them.

But since he paid homage to the Bodhisattva, made a wish, and ate a fast meal, it would be a little unreasonable not to spend a penny.Mrs. Wang weighed it up, and took out a ten tael silver note for Zhou Rui's family to put in the merit box.

Zhou Rui's family has long seen that Mrs. Wang has been tricked.I thought Mrs. Wang was in a good mood after greedy for the old lady's things, she was still hungry.After going left and right to the merit box, no one followed, Zhou Rui's family quietly hid all the bank notes.

It was ten taels of silver for nothing, and Zhou Rui's family didn't feel hungry, and walked briskly back to Mrs. Wang's side as if nothing had happened.

Jia Min, who was knitting sweaters with Mrs. Zhang in Rongguo Mansion, sneezed suddenly, and Mrs. Zhang hurriedly asked her mother-in-law to add two more charcoal basins.Jia Min tapped the tip of her nose with a handkerchief, thinking she didn't catch a cold.

Someone must be speaking ill of her behind her back.

This kind of villain who can only play tricks behind his back should make him unable to achieve what he wants!

Picking up the sweater needle again, Jia Min took a look at the part she had knitted, and felt that her knitting was slow and unremarkable, and the key problem was that she couldn't tell it was a sweater.

"Sister, you just started knitting, and it's pretty good to be able to weave like this. Sister-in-law, when I first started knitting, I always dropped stitches, and what I wove was only a little better than spider webs. In the end, I couldn't tear it apart and re-knit a little bit." Zhang used her own example to comfort Jia Min, and by the way, said that Lin Ruhai, as an important minister of the court, would definitely receive a sweater from the emperor.

It's time to knit a neckerchief.

Jia Min had never seen what a collar looked like, so Mrs. Zhang asked her mother-in-law to show Jia Min a knitted one.Jia Min measured the part he had woven, and felt that he would be able to weave it after a while, and when the two sides were connected together, it would be a neck collar.

It's windproof and light, which is a good thing.

"Wait for my husband to come back tonight and try..."

When Mrs. Wang came back, it was getting dark, and the results of Jia Zheng's assessment had already come down.Jia Zheng, who was worried about losing his job, was relieved by the mediocre results, but Jia's mother was a little dissatisfied.

Mrs. Wang had thought about the explanation a long time ago, but the nobleman said it too late.But after accepting the gift, the nobleman said that he could help with this next year.

What will happen in the next year's assessment, let's talk next year.

What if both the old lady and Jia Zheng forget about this?
