[Red House] Raiders of life

The author has something to say:

PS: Going back to the text, I really think that Mother Jia treats her granddaughters like kittens and puppies, raising them instead of teaching them.People say upbringing and upbringing, but she really thinks it's just raising... But it's true, all the concubines are raised around, and there is still a big difference between the concubine and the concubines.So maybe that has something to do with it.

Dear, I seem to have seen you in the articles of other Honglou colleagues. You are a loyal fan of Honglou. (づ￣3￣)づThe map is too detailed to be drawn by Lin Ning.The reason why she responded for seven days was because she had a system in hand.Use the system to read out your own memory, and then print it into a book, and it will be done in one minute.

But face still has to be done, and people can't see the flaws.Therefore, she really closed the door of the study and didn't see anyone for seven days and seven nights. Even if she had three meals a day, she only let Jia Lian pass the tray in through the window.

Seven days later, Lin Ning came out with unkempt hair and a stubbled beard.Jia Lian was taken aback, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Father! I'll ask my servants to boil water and prepare clothes."

Tsk tsk, Jia Lian has been with him for the past three months, and now he's used to calling him Daddy instead of Master and Master.In fact, Lin Ning has never been able to understand the title of the Jia family.The whole family is flesh and blood, but they are all called masters and wives like slaves.Is this interesting?

Jia Lian turned his head and left, but Lin Ning grabbed him, "Come back! Get ready for the carriage, I'm going to Chengjun Palace now."

Adult princes have titles when they go out of the palace to build a mansion.The third prince, Tu Mingyuan, is the king of Chengjun.The nine princes are clearly the king of Kangjun.

"Father, you just... go like this? Isn't that rude?" Jia Lian looked Lin Ning up and down, and he looked like a refugee.Can the concierge of Chengjun Prince's Mansion let him in?

Lin Ning blew a bunch of hair under the drooping forehead, "I worked so hard to make this thing for him, of course he has to see it with his own eyes, otherwise he thought it would be easy."

Jia Lian's face was troubled, and he almost cried with such a bitter expression.Dad, that's the prince and county king. Is it really okay for you to see him like this?

Lin Ning slapped Jia Lian on the head, "Just leave as soon as I tell you! What are you talking about!"

Jia Lian flinched, "Father, I... that... my son won't go. Anyway, my son can't get in the way every time."

Lin Ning blew his beard and stared, "It's worthless, did you interrupt me? I told you to follow along to see and see. After you enter the Ministry of Industry, you will know how to get along with that person."

Jia Lian looked at Lin Ning for a long while, and said with a sad face, "Father, you...you...the way you get along, I can't learn it."

Lin Ning was so angry that he slapped him on the head again, "Everyone has his own way, who told you to copy it? You are not me. Even if you learn it, you can't use it. Your father and I are not stingy, You can't be a fool."

Jia Lian's face was stiff, his muscles twitched, and he looked at the sky speechlessly.Is there anyone who speaks of "not stingy" so confidently and confidently?

"I told you earlier, read more, do more, and don't talk until you don't have the ability. You are going to be an official in the court. You have to find out the temperament of the superior, and get the pulse. You can know it in the future. Where is the bottom line of others! If you want to cater to you, you won’t be flattered. Otherwise, do you think that in the past two or three months, I will definitely ask you to follow me? I just want you to learn more .You may not know some things, but you must not understand them.”

Seeing Lin Ning's serious tone, Jia Lian's expression became serious, thinking that Lin Ning's current appearance was to make a map, and the ultimate goal was to seek an official for him.Feeling guilty again, he said respectfully, "My son understands."

Lin Ning nodded in satisfaction, and took him to Chengjun Prince's Mansion together.Coincidentally, Ninth Prince Tu Mingyi was also there, seeing Lin Ning was so frightened that he almost dropped the wine glass from his hand, his eyes were as big as a bell, "You...you...where did you escape from famine?"

Lin Ning threw the map on the table, "It's not because of this stuff, I don't know how many hours I slept in the past seven days, I haven't washed my face, I haven't washed my hair. Am I easy? ! Seven days, just seven days! This is killing me! Fortunately, the old man’s painting is almost done, I just need to sort it out and re-edit the drawing, and fill in the remaining parts. Otherwise, my old man I'm going to die."

While crying, Lin Ning sat directly on the Ninth Prince's hands, rolled up his sleeves and started eating.Tu Mingyi quickly stood up, covered his nose, and fanned the wind with his hands, "No wonder, there is a stench."

The third prince, Tu Mingyuan, didn't mind at all. He picked up the booklet and read it carefully. After he finished it, Lin Ning happened to have cleaned up all the food and wine on the table, and looked at Tu Mingyuan proudly, "How is it?"

Tu Mingyuan's hand holding the map was trembling, his heart was surging at the moment, but his face remained calm, and he said coldly, "Didn't you say it will take half a year?"

Lin Ning was taken aback, and smiled awkwardly, "Then what... don't I have too many things on weekdays? Well... since the third master ordered it, I will naturally go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate."

Tu Mingyi pushed Tu Mingyuan in disgust and said, "Third brother, can you let him wash off the smell first before talking back? I'm about to vomit."

Unexpectedly, Lin Ning waved his hand, "Jiuye doesn't need to be so troublesome, I just want a word from the third master. If you get it, just leave, and don't hinder Jiuye."

"Your stench has suffocated me for a long time. You ruined all the good wine and food on my table, and you said it's no harm to me? If it wasn't for the last time, the third brother ordered me not to touch you, do you believe it or not?" Throw it into the pigsty."

"Old Nine!"

Hearing Tu Mingyuan's scolding, Tu Mingyi curled his lips in displeasure, and muttered something, the voice was too low, few people could hear it, but looking at that expression, it seems that it was not a good word for Lin Ning .

Lin Ning quickly stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Master Jiu, for your kind hand."

Seeing his respectful and humble appearance, Tu Mingyi felt that he had finally saved some face, snorted twice, and finally stopped talking.

Only then did Tu Mingyuan ask, "What do you want to say?"

Lin Ning grabbed Jia Lian and said, "Third Master, it's alright for this kid to change it for Shizhong?"

There are four grades in giving, and most of the general donated officials are at most five grades.This is indeed higher.But it's not a big deal.In particular, Jia Lian only manages the glass workshop in the Ministry of Industry even if he is doing business.If there is a promotion in the future, it will only be based on strength.Especially the things Lin Ning presented...

Tu Mingyi looked at Lin Ning in surprise, "Do you want one for Shizhong?"

Lin Ning nodded, "It's not bad to give one to the matter. This kid is not very capable. Give him a fourth-rank official who is neither high nor low, and it will be up to him in the future. The third master will give him a practical job. If you want to come He can also do a good job. Those who pass a lot of money don’t need it. It’s not that I’m afraid that he won’t be able to control his hands to be greedy. It’s that those positions are too involved, and it’s not enough for you to control yourself. So , I also ask the third master to help me with this position."

Both Tu Mingyuan and Tu Mingyi were taken aback, glass is a profitable business.It belongs to the Ministry of Industry, although the money goes into the treasury.But the Ministry of Industry is the main business, and the person in charge, how much money has been handed over, how can he not get it in his pocket.At first, when Lin Ning asked Jia Lian to take care of this thing, they all thought they wanted to pinch some money.After all, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, not to mention that the recipes and ideas are all from their family, as long as they are not too much, they can turn a blind eye.If it's too much, don't blame them for being cruel.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ning didn't plan to do anything with money at all.

Lin Ning still had plausible words in his mouth, "Hey, he is the fourth rank. Our second son, Yuanwai Lang, is from the fifth rank. Now he is one rank or two higher than him, and he is so angry."

Tu Mingyi's mouth twitched, it seems that the resentment towards the second wife of Jia's family is not so great. "that's all?"

"Anyway, I'm afraid there are not many people in the capital who don't know about our family's affairs. Let's just talk about this separation? Although our family didn't tell the truth, can we hide it from others, and the royal family? I'm not afraid The two masters joked." Lin Ning felt very relieved and looked proud, "In short, as long as they are crushed to death, and they are not happy, I will be happy!"

Tu Mingyi sneered, "How promising! Use your righteousness to act, you think this thing of yours is worth a fourth grade?"

Lin Ning blinked, and hesitated: "It's missing? My son is not very capable, and he can't afford to be taller, and... also broke the rules!"

Tu Mingyi and Tu Mingyuan looked at each other, Lin Ning tentatively said: "Then why don't the two masters ask the Ministry of Accounts to wipe out our family's deficit?"

Before Tu Mingyi could react, Tu Mingyuan's face darkened, but before he could say it, Lin Ning shook his head and said, "No way! There are too many families who owe money to the household department. This is not possible. Ruomo If it is in our family, other people’s families will make a fuss and wipe it off. No way.”

After shaking his head for a while, Lin Ning sighed again, "Actually, if you want to pay back the money, it's not that you haven't paid it back at all. It's just that after paying it back, there is nothing left in our house. I can't sell this glass anymore. No one Hurry up and get the money. The two of you also know that I am used to being lavish. Even if the money is paid back, our family will not go anywhere. But I am afraid that it is impossible to let me go crazy like before. Yes. This... As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. I am used to living a delicate life! Besides, if I come across antique jade articles, I will feel itchy if I don’t buy them. How uncomfortable it would be for me if this standard of living dropped all of a sudden!"

Tu Mingyi twitched when he heard this, and Tu Mingyuan's complexion darkened a little.

Jia Lian had lowered her head to her neck, wishing she had to meet her father.Lin Ning still acted as if he had never heard of it, and suddenly seemed to think of some way, and said happily: "How about, the two masters tell the Ministry of Households that we will pay half of it first. When I think of other ways to earn money, I will use this money to earn money." Here we go, pay the other half, okay?"

Tu Mingyi suddenly became interested, "Do you have other ways to make money?"

Lin Ning rubbed his chin, "Not now, but I can't do anything else. I'm good at eating, drinking, and playing, especially antiques and jades. In Kyoto, few people can match it. So it shouldn't be difficult to find a way to make money in this regard. Did people come up with it all?"

What Lin Ning was talking about was that his face was not red and his heart was not beating. When it comes to antiques and jade, Jia She is really good at appreciating this aspect, and Lin Ning, who has inherited Jia She's memory, is naturally the same.What's more, Mrs. Lin, who has been working for 30 to [-] years in her previous life, has a lot of good things in her house. Although she didn't deliberately learn these things, she can understand them by ear and in such an environment.

Tu Mingyi has never seen anyone who can regard being a prostitute as a career and talk about it happily, but now he is elated when he hears about making money, so he doesn't care about these details like Lin Ning, and he made a decision, "That's good! After thinking of a way, remember to tell the master, count as a share of the master!"

So, Tu Mingyuan and Jia Lian just watched a lord of a first-class general and a prince and county king get together and start discussing ways to make money.Tu Mingyuan's face was so dark that water dripped out.Jia Lian was stunned...

But Jia Lian is also used to it.In the past, his father didn't care about him.After following his father all these days, he realized that the real father was too different from the father he knew, and refreshed his three views from time to time, and he was in a state of confusion for most of his days...

********

It has been a month since the map was presented, and there is no news from Tu Mingyuan, the official position given to Jia Lian has not come down, and there is nothing else.But Lin Ning was not in a hurry.The longer the delay, the better, which means that the benefits to oneself in the process of compensation will definitely not be less.

During this month, many things happened.In mid-August, the rural examination.The two families are separated, what Wang did can hide others, but not Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu.These two came to apologize to Lin Ning, but Lin Ning ignored them.Perhaps it was because the image of her mother in her heart suddenly collapsed, or because Jia Zhu's mind was disturbed by the recent move and separation, or Jia Zhu's homework was not solid enough.

Anyway, he failed.Did not pass the Juren examination.However, Lin Ning looked at that posture, and Li Shouzhong still regarded Jia Zhu very highly. He thought that his homework in the Imperial College should not be too bad.Therefore, the marriage of the two families was settled smoothly.Because Jia Zhu is not young, Li Wan is also sixteen.The day was set for October.

The Wang family came twice. After all, among the things Lin Ning said, the Wang family has benefited a lot from the Jia family.The Wang family has to give an explanation.The Wang family didn't admit it at first, but it's a pity to have such a pig teammate as the Wang family.The Wang family believed that Lin Ning's evidence was true, panicked, and sold herself and the Wang family long ago.

Wang Ziteng blushed and returned a lot of money.But it can be regarded as saving the Wang family with his face.Anyway, she is my younger sister, even if the relationship is not very deep, there is still a little bit of affection.What's more, it was the Wang family, if they died right after the separation, then everyone would wonder whether the Wang family had done something to cause the separation and his sudden death.What Mrs. Wang does is not watertight, and anyone who cares will know it when they check it.Therefore, for the sake of the Wang family's face, and in order to prevent people from attacking the Wang family based on this point, Wang Ziteng must also protect him.

But Jia Zheng is so sincere that he is so pedantic that he doesn't know how to change it. He insists that he will divorce the Wang family, and he can't keep this poisonous woman who hurt his nephew!

At any rate, Jia's mother used her mother's dignity to push him down, and then carried out a few more children, and Jia Zheng finally calmed down.So it was up to Jia Mu to build a small Buddhist hall in the west courtyard and move Wang's family in.

If soon, Mrs. Wang entered the small Buddhist hall, Jia Zheng would only be left with an old Aunt Zhou and a vulgar Aunt Zhao. No matter what Jia's mother thought, she would feel that she had wronged her son.So he began to make a fuss about Naping's wife.Because the Wang family made a mistake first, they couldn't speak.

Lin Ning heheed twice and rolled his eyes, Ping Wife?Think beautifully!People like them actually marry equal wives?Pairing wives is just a nice thing to say, but if you dare to have a flat wife for an official, it must be an act of favoring concubines and destroying wives.

Because Lin Ning has been jumping up and down outside these days, and has no scruples about publicizing family scandals, most people know that Jia's family has separated, and the first and second families have broken up, and now they are incompatible.Therefore, she didn't have the time to remind Mother Jia.

But he didn't go, Jia Zhu did.When Jia Zhu came out, Mother Jia changed her mind and replaced the flat wife with a noble concubine.

Lin Ning was stunned, and said to Jia Lian: "He can still see clearly. The old lady is really confused. She said that it is better for a few children. Once this ordinary wife marries, how many children are there? Go out to meet people?"

Is it really unexpected, or is the grandson not as good as the son?

The father and son were talking, but they heard the chaos outside.Lin Ning frowned, "Laifu, what's going on?"

Now Lin Ning is very powerful in the mansion, and he has caught a few typical examples to make an example to others, and now the subordinate servants treat him with trepidation and respect.You Qi also recruited and cultivated a few close friends. Now, without him, no one would dare to enter his study.

Lai Fu came in and reported: "The nanny brought Mr. Cong to greet the master. I came here early this morning, and sent people back before the master got up. I also came here a few times a few days ago , just happened to catch up with the time when the master was too busy to touch the ground. I haven't seen him for a while. Recently, the master has been free, and the third master Cong has been ill for a while, and he feels better today."

Lin Ning was taken aback. It had been three or four months since she traveled here. Before that, she was planning how to regain the dominance of the Rongguo Mansion and how to find a way for the Jia family to survive.Later, after hooking up with the third prince, when he was free, he had some affection with Jia Lian and devoted himself to teaching him.For Jia Yingchun and Jia Cong, he had never met in person, where did he get any feelings for them.However, Jia She's deity has no feelings, and he didn't even bring them both in the mission, so these two people were forgotten by Lin Ning gorgeously...

Hearing Lai Fu's words, Lin Ning knew that he was probably getting a reward, otherwise he wouldn't be so talkative.But Lin Ning also knew that since she cleaned up the house, the few who followed him, not to mention others, all had winks.She made the rules early in the morning that rewards can be taken and words can be spoken, but she must tell the truth without embellishment.Therefore, since Laifu said this, although it meant to help others, it must be the truth.

Lin Ning opened the door and went out, and sure enough, he saw the nanny standing in the yard holding the three-year-old Jia Cong. Jia Cong was a little timid, holding on to the nanny's clothes tightly.The nanny was afraid of Lin Ning and flattered her a little.

Lin Ning knew very well that the wind direction in the mansion had changed recently. He stood up, especially when he paid more attention to Jia Lian, so the nanny was offended and wanted to let him have some father-son friendship with Jia Cong. Come on, Jia Cong's life in the mansion will be much easier.

After all, he was only a three-year-old child, Lin Ning couldn't bear it, his face softened, and he beckoned.The nanny happily brought Jia Cong forward, saluted herself and urged Jia Cong to pay his respects after seeing the old man.

Xu Shi has been taught many times, but Jia Cong's gesture of greeting is quite decent.

Lin Ning took his little hand, and found that he flinched unconsciously, but did not dare to withdraw it, looking at him with a bit of fear and a bit of expectation in his eyes.Lin Ning already liked children, but now his heart softened completely, and he patted his head, "I heard that you were ill for a while? Are you well now?"

The nanny quickly replied: "Returning to the old man, I have taken the medicine and I am already well."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Jia Cong coughed.Lin Ning's face darkened, and Naining knelt down in fright, "The doctor said it's almost done, and it's okay. It's just that this cough will last for a few days."

Only then did Lin Ning calm down, "I know what you're thinking. If Brother Cong can gain my respect, he must be different in the mansion from the past. You know it's good to be considerate of him. But Brother Cong only No matter how old he is, he is not feeling well, so you are rushing to let him come here to blow the cold wind. There are flowers and plants planted in my yard.

Yes, it is not good for people who cough.But now it is gradually entering autumn. Although it is still hot in the daytime, the cool breeze is strong in the morning and evening.You are not afraid that he will get sick again! "

Nanny is busy kowtow begging

Jia Cong was full of panic, looking at Lin Ning who wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, wanted to plead for the nanny but didn't dare.Lin Ning frowned and said, "Forget it, three months of monthly payment will be deducted, and there will be no next time."

The nanny thanked her, and Lin Ning brought Jia Cong into the house, and said a few words to him, and when he saw his answer, he was always trembling, and he couldn't help but sighed again, and picked some cakes for him, very kindly. He patted his head and let the nanny come in and lead him back.

"You are still sick, so you don't have to come to say hello sooner or later."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Cong was fine, and the nanny's face turned pale.Lin Ning said again: "Come back after you have fully recovered from your illness. Although you are young, you can still be enlightened." Turning around, he told the nanny, "He is still young, and children should sleep more. He can't compare with us. My lord, you don’t have to come early every day. Just come at Chenshi, just in time to have breakfast with Lian’er and me.”

When the nanny heard this, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed with joy.

After the two came out, Lin Ning called Laifu in, "Did the second girl come these days?"

"I came here once or twice at first, but the master was busy and didn't see him."

So you don't come?Lin Ning waved Laifu down, his eyebrows furrowed.I have been with Lin Ning for several months, Jia Lian can feel his temper now, and hurriedly said: "Father, the second sister is still young. There is no one around who thinks about her all the time. She is not sensible, don't be with her." She cares?"

Lin Ning stared, "What do I care about with her?" Then he sighed, "I can't blame her. After all, I was too ridiculous in the past. She may not be a good daughter, and I am not a good father."

Jia Lian was taken aback, and said with a smile, "Dad, isn't the prodigal son back? Don't mention the past."

Seeing him making himself happy with a playful smile, Lin Ning chuckled, and then said: "After knowing the truth about your elder brother's death, I dreamed every night. I dreamed about your elder brother, dreamed about your mother, and... dreamed about you Grandfather. I don't have many children now, so I can't afford to lose any of them. Fortunately, it's not too late for me to wake up now."

As if thinking of something, there was a bit of sarcasm on her face, "The old lady raised her granddaughter by her side. To put it nicely, she had to be brought up by a super-emperor grandmother, but who knows... the old lady is really just Raising. Raising but not teaching. What is this called! Are granddaughters all funny kittens and puppies?"

Although their room had already broken up with the old lady's second room, but Lin Ning dared to say this, but Jia Lian didn't dare to accept it, so he just stammered twice.Lin Ning didn't care too much, thinking whether he should find a nanny to teach the rules of welcoming the spring?

Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard someone outside reporting that the imperial decree had arrived.
