Practical Life in the Red Mansion

The Seventh Prince stayed at the Lin family for a few days, leaving early and returning late every day. He loved and ignored the people of the Lin family, and was cold-hearted.But in the next few days, Lin Yang and Mu Zheng were called over, and each time they taught them kindly.Lin Yang thought of Alexander when he saw him, and was afraid that he would reveal his identity.Lin Yang admitted that he was like a snail getting into its shell for his life experience, and he could hide for a day.Although he had a vague suspicion, as long as others didn't tell him, he would pretend not to know, and he was still the eldest son of the Lin family.He was even more frightened by the Seventh Prince's attitude, the emperor's mind was unpredictable, he was kind to himself now, but when the Seventh Prince came to the throne, would he feel that he was a threat.

The Seventh Prince was keenly aware of Lin Yang's resistance and suspicion towards him. Whenever he mentioned Lin Yang's biological father to Lin Yang seemingly inadvertently, Lin Yang would either say a few dry words or gossip.He doesn't care about Lin Yang's attitude, when one day he can restore his brother's innocence and his nephew's identity, he doesn't believe that Lin Yang doesn't accept his life experience.

Compared with the unpredictability between the two, Mu Zheng is much calmer. Originally, the Seventh Prince was his uncle. Although he didn't have much direct contact, he played the role of a father more or less, so he respected the Seventh Prince. There is respect and love.The Seventh Prince and his wife have a very good relationship, and they are naturally sincere towards Mu Zheng, whose wife is the only family member.

Fortunately, such days didn't last long. After receiving a letter from the capital, the Seventh Prince hurriedly brought the account book back to the capital. As for how the account book will be used, it was out of their scope of consideration.

Thanks to the Seventh Prince's blessing, Lin Yang also knew what happened in the capital, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: You're cheating!

Wang Shoufu is good at everything, but there is only one bad thing. He gave birth to an only son, who is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He threatened Wang Shoufu's son to go to his family's Lao Tzu's study to steal things, and even thought about using this as an excuse to contact Wang Shoufu and let Wang Shoufu use it for him.

Wang Shoufu didn't have this son until he was 40 years old. His mother and wife doted on this son very much. When Wang Shoufu wanted to teach his son a lesson, his mother always came out to stop him, and even accused Wang Shoufu of being unfilial if he wanted to take his grandson back to his hometown.Wang Shoufu had no choice, but fortunately his grandson was still reliable, so he focused on managing his grandson and ignored his son.The son grew up and became more dandy, and fell into the hands of the fourth prince.

Wang Shoufu originally wanted to beat his son severely, and then bring him to the emperor to plead guilty.It's a pity that the 80-year-old mother came to him tremblingly on crutches, crying with snot and tears, and even threatened to die.Wang Shoufu lost his father when he was young. Thanks to his widowed mother's hard work in raising him, he couldn't be more filial to his widowed mother. As soon as his heart softened, he let his son go, and turned a blind eye to help the fourth prince a few times.

The fourth prince was shrewd on the outside and sloppy on the inside, seeing Wang Shoufu helping him a few times, he thought that Wang Shoufu was facing him and acted carelessly. The sixth prince, his arch-rival, caught clues and discovered the truth by groping.He was also a well-behaved man, and he made some insinuations in front of the emperor, making the emperor suspicious of Wang Shoufu, and in a fit of anger, he found out that Wang Shoufu and the fourth prince were flirting with each other.

It was too late for Wang Shoufu to feel sorry for the strong man. Knowing that the emperor was investigating him, he went to the palace overnight to plead guilty. The emperor didn't see him, so he knelt at the gate of the main hall all night. Having been around for many years, and knowing the emperor's mean and unkind nature, he was terrified and terrified, and suffered a stroke early the next morning.It was a blessing in disguise, the emperor saw that he had suffered a stroke and could not speak, so he let him go, and ordered him to recuperate in Beijing.

When he stepped down from the position of chief assistant, there must be someone who made trouble.Fortunately, the newly appointed Yao Bing and Yao Zhongxing were not mean. He figured out what the emperor meant and took care of Wang Shoufu, and also Wang Shoufu's students. Lin Hai also sent someone to visit in time.The Liu family is still in decline. The only son is a dude, and the promising grandson is only a few years old. For the sake of his grandson, Wang Shoufu struggled to save his life. He can take care of his grandson for a few years.

But this matter is not over yet, the emperor's suspicion is not easy, he pulled out all Liu Shoufu's students, and asked Jin Yiwei to investigate secretly.Fortunately, the emperor was quite clear. Knowing the methods of Jinyiwei and thinking about the importance of Jiangnan’s salt tax, he didn’t send Jinyiwei to Lin Hai’s side. He only sent the Seventh Prince, who had a problem with Lin Hai, to Jiangnan Province to investigate. The Seventh Prince broke off his relationship with Mu Zheng. connection between.

The seventh prince lived in the Lin family generously, and did not touch the account book presented by Lin Hai, and directly handed it over to the hidden guard given to him by the emperor. After the seventh prince transferred the secret guard, Lin Hai gave another account book in private. It is much more detailed than the account books that Lin Hai handed over to the emperor in previous years.The Seventh Prince reciprocated, clearing up the officials in Yangzhou's land boundary, as well as the Salt Commissioner, and the transfer of the Salt Commissioner who had entanglements with the prince. He also thought about his father's favorite scene of father's kindness, son's filial piety, and brotherly love. Instead, he let go of the Zhen family, the mother's family of his eleventh brother.

The Seventh Prince was also thinking that Lin Yang would go to Jinling, the territory of the Zhen family, to participate in Qiu Wei. The two families were really torn apart and treated Lin Yang badly. He hinted that Zhen Yingjia had been used as a gun, and someone wanted to use his hands to get rid of Lin Hai. , and pointed out a way for Zhen Yingjia to ask his wife to write a letter to the Rongguo Mansion, and let the Rongguo Mansion make a match. The Zhen family had no plan to kill Lin Hai now. After all, Lin Hai had the evidence of private salt and could directly submit it to the emperor. It was Lin Hai's follow-up actions that slapped the Zhen family in the face, making it impossible for the Zhen family to step down. Now that the Zhen family has a ladder, they naturally come down.At the Lin Mansion, Jia Min received a letter from his mother, and according to Lin Hai's instructions, gave Zhen Yingjia's daughter a birthday gift, and the two inner courtyards started to move around.

When everything came to an end, Jia Min was also approaching her due date. Jia Min received a letter from Jia's mother before, and she was so angry that her fetus became angry. .Lin Hai was dissatisfied with Jia's mother's disregard of his wife's health, and bought back the Jia family's ancestral property that was secretly sold in Jinling and sent the land deeds back to Jia's family.

When Jia Min found out, she was only grateful for her husband’s venting his anger on her. Firstly, those in Jinling were bought by her ancestors, so it’s a pity to be sold. Second, it was just a warning to her second sister-in-law. Mother Jia always favored her younger son and The youngest daughter-in-law could not get angry even if she wanted to. Thirdly, let the Jia family stop staring at their own affairs, and even intervene in Lin Yang's marriage.Her second sister-in-law also had a good plan, telling her son about the daughter of her niece Wang Ziteng, and even a person who could not read a single word wanted to be the mistress of the Lin family, wishful thinking.

However, Jia Min was interested in Lin Yang's marriage, and said something in front of Lin Hai at night, but Lin Hai was silent for a while before saying: "The seventh prince has made arrangements for Brother Yang's marriage."

Jia Min was shocked when he heard the words, and sat up: "How could it be?"

Lin Hai supported his wife and said: "The Seventh Prince cares about Brother Yang, he seems to be optimistic about him, and he will propose marriage after Brother Yang Qiuwei. Don't worry, the family that the Seventh Prince likes is naturally a family with a good foundation."

Jia Min was unhappy: "But the Seventh Prince can only see how the girl's father and brother are, but he doesn't know anything about the girl's temperament."

Lin Haidao: "There is also the Seventh Prince and Concubine."

Jia Min shook her head: "It's inconvenient for the Seventh Prince to intervene in someone whom the Seventh Prince likes." Jia Min sighed, she also knew how Empress Zhaohui and the first prince cared for the Seventh Prince, and it was impossible for the Seventh Prince to ignore his brother's only blood.

Lin Hai helped his wife to lie down and said: "Brother Yang is a child who values ​​affection. He doesn't want to, and no one can force him, and the seventh prince also understands that it is best for Brother Yang to maintain the status quo. The seventh prince is very accurate in seeing people." No matter what, I have to choose a marriage for Brother Yang with all four corners, and the people and things he comes into contact with are not comparable to us, maybe the choice is not as good as his choice. "

Jia Min was still a little sad. She loved Lin Yang as her own child. As a mother, she couldn't be in charge of her son's marriage. Nothing made a mother feel more depressed and sad than this. She didn't care about the daughter-in-law she married. Whether it suits her heart or not, she is just worried that her daughter-in-law will grow old together with her son. If her temperament and temper are not compatible with her son, although her son can take a concubine, it will be difficult to agree with her in the end, not to mention her son is a sentimental person. If he doesn't agree with him, he won't bear to be left out. In the end, his son's life is still unhappy.

Lin Hai didn't have Jia Min's worries. It wasn't that he didn't care about Lin Yang, but that he felt that a good relationship with his wife was just icing on the cake. If the relationship was not good, there would be a concubine's room. The courtyard is enough, and it is not easy to treat the wife as a guest.Of course, he couldn't tell Jia Min about this.

He was a little sleepy, and his words were a little vague: "A family with good father and brother can't raise a bad girl."

Jia Min's mood had calmed down at first, but he couldn't help but wake Lin Hai up when he heard the words: "How can you say that, girls are mostly taught by their mothers, grow up in the inner courtyard, father and brother have limited influence on them, good bamboos also produce bad ones .”

"Okay, ma'am, I promise, before the Seventh Prince chooses someone, I will definitely let you see that girl. If she has a bad temper, we will say nothing." Lin Hai, who was shaken awake, was not annoyed, and comforted her Jia Min said.

Jia Min couldn't say anything, thinking that if the girl was not good, she would bother her more.
