The Housekeeper's Daughter-in-law of the Red House

Two well-dressed women came in and knelt down in front of Mother Jia, "Please greet the old lady, congratulations on the old lady's birthday, my wife took us to Beijing to congratulate you on your birthday, I wish you every year today... ..."

The two women sang and talked together, making Jia's mother smile, "Get up, I've worked hard for you, go down and take a breath."

The two mothers-in-law presented the gift list and then left as promised.

Mother Jia didn't read the gift list face to face, and handed it directly to the girl next to her, and sighed to the lady beside her, "It's been nearly 20 years since I have seen Allergy, and she is also cruel. I haven’t been back since, and I don’t know what happened to my grandson and granddaughter?” Speaking of which, Jia’s mother is worse than Shulan, she has never met Jia Min’s two children, Shulan has seen Lin Jin anyway.

"Old lady, this is a great blessing. Not to mention that my son and grandson are all promising, my uncle is also promising. It can't compare to those who stay at home all day long with nothing to do." The lady laughed.

The few men in Jia's mansion can't be said to be promising, but compared to those dudes who only know how to play with women, they can really say: promising.No matter how young Jia She is, Jia Zhengguan has not been promoted for a long time, but he can still be called an 'officer' to the outside world.

So it's best not to compare everything, because there will be unlucky and happy when there is a comparison.

Speaking of the Lin family, we have to mention Lin Daiyu, the talented girl in the red building, Lin Daiyu's children's shoes. Lin Daiyu's life is completely different with her brother.

What does having a brother mean?

It is definitely not just as simple as representing the future to rely on.

First of all, having an elder brother means that the blood of the Lin family has been passed on. Lin Ruhai's interest and enthusiasm for work have also increased a lot. How can he get promoted and get rich?Isn't it just to pave a broad road for his children, what to do so desperately without his son to inherit all this.

Lin Ruhai will not worry about the inheritance of the Lin family in the future, so he will have more time to love each other with Jia Min. Although he did not have an extra child, Lin Ruhai is very relieved to have a son and a daughter.The Lin family's only child problem cannot be solved by marrying a few women.

That's why Jia Min is now living in a honeypot, and no one is trying to speak ill of her behind the scenes because she can't give birth to a son.Although there are still some blind people who try to make Lin Ruhai a confidante, but this does not affect Jia Min's mood in the slightest.

No matter how others struggle, she is the head wife of the Lin family after all, and her son is the heir of the Lin family.

And Lin Daiyu, who was influenced by Jia Min's good mood, is naturally not the bitter one in the original book with "two curved eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, a pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy, and have two worries, and a delicate disease". The unlucky girl who was forced to abandon her father just after her mother died, and was taken to Jia's family by several women.

No matter how Shulan whitewashed Jia's house, there was one thing Shulan couldn't whitewash Jia's house.In the original book, Jia Min died, and Jia's mother kept saying that she loved Jia Min alone, but when Lin Daiyu came to Jia's mansion, Jia's mansion was still wearing red and green.Even though everyone in Jia's mansion didn't have to keep their filial piety for Jia Min, maybe they did, but this place is too much.

As for someone who said that when Lin Daiyu first entered the mansion, Mother Jia treated her right away, and didn't tidy up her clothes and house.But Shulan thought about it carefully, and she was more inclined to a possibility that no one else thought of, that is, Mother Jia didn't really come to pick Lin Daiyu into Beijing, but Lin Ruhai insisted on giving Lin Daiyu to Jia's family.

Judging from Jia's mother's behavior for so many years, if Jia's mother really wanted to pick up Lin Daiyu, even if Jia Lian didn't go, a big steward would definitely send her.But according to the original book, only a few third-class servants brought Lin Daiyu back, which is really out of line with Jiamu's usual style.

The reason why Jiamu didn't really pick up Lin Daiyu was because Shulan thought of it from Chen Shi.

Thinking about it carefully, before Jiamu saw Lin Daiyu, she might not have no resentment towards her.The reason is very simple, because Lin Daiyu is a girl, if Jia Min gave birth to a son instead of Lin Daiyu, then Jia Min's next life would be completely different.

After all, it was said in the original book that Lin Ruhai had a son who died the first year, and Jia Min fell ill after the infection, and passed away the second year.If Lin Daiyu had been a boy, then Jia Min might not have died early.

This feeling comes from the source. From the original book, Lin Daiyu is indeed a pleasing girl, but Jia Mu has never seen her.Even though everyone could write letters, at that time Mother Jia must have paid more attention to Jia Min than Lin Daiyu. Who told Jia Min to be Mother Jia's daughter without a son, and not having a son is a serious crime these days.

Compared with the daughter-in-law whom I have raised for more than ten years and the granddaughter whom I have never met, it is clear at a glance who Jia's mother will prefer.So at the beginning, if Jia's mother liked Lin Daiyu, Shulan felt that this matter needs to be estimated.

As for why Shulan said that Lin Ruhai forced Lin Daiyu to Jia's house, there are two reasons.

First, the ancients paid attention to a 'parents are not traveling far'.And according to the custom, after Jia Min's death, the Lin family had to keep a filial piety for her, Lin Ruhai had to keep a filial piety for one year, and Lin Daiyu had to keep a filial piety for three years.Even though Qi's filial piety system is not as strict as that of the Han Dynasty, it is the most basic to thank guests behind closed doors.

But the Lin family didn't have it, not only didn't it, Lin Ruhai was still working as an official in front of the salt censor, this is a very bad signal.What Jia Yucun said at the beginning of the original book was that he went to the Lin family to teach Lin Daiyu's book when Lin Ruhai was inspecting the salt censor at that time.

In other words, Lin Ruhai lost his son when he first became the Xunyan Yushi, and his wife Jia Min died the next year.

Reminiscent of what Zhang Rugui said to Jia Yucun later, saying that the imperial court wanted to restore old officials.

How did Jia Yucun lose his official position?

It is said that he was admitted to Jinshi at the beginning, and then he was selected as a foreign class.After a few years of work, he was promoted to the prefect. Although he has excellent talents, he is somewhat greedy and cruel, and he is insulted by his talents. Those officials all looked sideways and ignored him for a year.So the boss found a gap and made a copy. He was cunning, good at compiling etiquette, and was furious. When the book arrived, all the officials in the government were happy.

In a word, although Jia Yucun has some real materials after becoming an official, he doesn't get along well with his superiors and subordinates. He is a bit arrogant and narcissistic, but he is also a greedy and tyrannical person.This is simply violating all the taboos in the officialdom, and as a result, the boss read a book and lost the official position.

As I said earlier, there is an imperial examination in the state of Qi, and every spring every three years, there will be about a hundred more Jinshi.The supply of official positions has always been less than the demand, and those who have no family background and bad luck may not necessarily be a post-official for the rest of their lives.

Then why did the imperial court suddenly want to reinstate the ex-members?Moreover, people like Jia Yucun who were dismissed on the charge of 'compilation of etiquette' have a chance to be rehabilitated. Generally speaking, such a situation is impossible.

From Shulan's point of view, there are only two possibilities for this matter. One is the special grace order issued by the new emperor when he ascends the throne. Suddenly, a large number of officials suddenly disappeared, and the court urgently needed experienced talents to work. If this happened, it could only explain one problem-the capital city had changed.

But whether it is the first or the second type, it shows one thing, that is, the battle for the succession will break out strongly in the past two years, and it may not be possible to stage another drama of forcing the palace. Which prince is it.

The censor originally had the responsibility of investigating and correcting evil officials and the emperor's eyes and ears. If he was ordered to inspect the salt censor, he would naturally be responsible for investigating the salt administration and correcting illegal activities according to the rules.The richness of the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River is famous all over the world. The Yanyan Yushi is the official who supervises the salt affairs. Whether the salt officials and salt merchants can make money depends on the Xunyan Yushi.

Therefore, Xunyan Yushi can be regarded as the best fat job in the country. In three years, the magistrate's [-] snowflake silver is probably dozens of times more than Xunyan Yushi's.

But this position is also accompanied by dangers, especially when the battle to seize the throne breaks out, how can the person sitting in this position be ignored by those ambitious princes, I am afraid that the death of Lin Ruhai's son and Jia Min and this matter If there is any connection, otherwise, why would he rather die in the history of Xunyan censor than ignore Lin Daiyu at all and refuse to step down.

Even though Lin Ruhai likes Lin Daiyu, the original book also said that Lin Ruhai pretended to support Lin Daiyu and talked about the desolation of his knees. It can be seen that Lin Ruhai still has some obsession with his son.

The son and daughter-in-law died because of this, and the daughter would marry off sooner or later and belong to someone else's family.Lin Ruhai had no love in his life, maybe his only goal at that time was to kill the enemy who killed Jia Min and his son!

It's just that Lin Daiyu is still her own blood, and the situation was so critical at that time, Lin Ruhai was also afraid that her only remaining child would fall on it, so she forced Lin Daiyu to Jia's house.

Perhaps the Jia family didn't underestimate Lin Daiyu and the Lin family at that time, so they only sent a third-class woman to pick up Lin Daiyu, but the situation in the capital was more tense. Treat it as a traitor and let the people in the head clean it up.

The original book also said that since Lin Daiyu was in Rongfu, Jia's mother has loved her so much, sleeping, eating and living, just like Jia Baoyu, Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, and Jia Xichun's three granddaughters are behind her.

As for those stories about Lin Daiyu, it was only after Xue Baochai entered Beijing that they began to spread. At first, they only said that Lin Daiyu was aloof and self-sufficient.Lin Daiyu, as the daughter of the imperial censor who patrols the salt, has the capital of being lonely and arrogant, besides, the original master has to have the appearance of the master, and it is wrong to have no master like Jia Baoyu to make amends to the girl of.

Later, after Lin Ruhai passed away, the unbearable words spread out, saying that Lin Daiyu used all the scraps of paper from Jia's house.After one sentence, the Jia family dislikes the poor and loves the rich, tramples on the low and favors the high, but it can also be seen from the side that Lin Ruhai's deterrence is very strong.

But now that Lin Daiyu has an older brother, and Lin Ruhai has not become the inspector of Yanyan, it is hard to say what will happen to the Lin family in the future.

It's just... Shulan blinked, she didn't think of the Lin family before, she didn't think of so many things, and now her son is serving as the imperial bodyguard in front of the emperor, so I have to talk to him about some things, so that he can be vigilant OK.

Shulan didn't expect Lin Shuyu to save the driver, as long as he is safe, she has to think about how to say this.
