[Red Mansion] Queen's Road

Shun Tian Fu Yin could be unlucky at any time. After all, there are many relatives of the emperor in the capital, and everyone just took it for granted.

As for the matter of a prince whose leg was trampled on—it was only a matter of a few days in the capital for people to talk about it after dinner. After a few days, no one would discuss him anymore. With no way out, the imperial court is getting farther and farther away from this prince, and there is no other way but to live in seclusion.

The most lively quarrel in the court recently is who will be sent to replace the old man of the country as the next Xunyan censor.

While the imperial court was still wrestling for the position of inspecting salt censor, the person who really wanted to replace Lin Ruhai had already boarded a boat and headed south, passing by a boat full of silver.

When the ship arrived at the shore, many soldiers followed and escorted the silver directly to the treasury.

These two incidents caught many people off guard. The replacement has already left, and Lin Ruhai's account has been evened out.If others want to work harder, they can no longer find a place to work harder.

The replacement rushed to the south of the Yangtze River and checked the account books with Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai and his wife went north with their two sons.

The youngest son, Lin Jiao, lost his mother when he was young. Lin Ruhai felt distressed when he saw it, so he entrusted him to Jia Min to take care of him.

After sailing on the water for a few days, I approached a shore to replenish fresh water and buy some food.

Lin Ruhai withdrew completely from the vortex in the south of the Yangtze River, and his mood became much happier along the way, and his body seemed to be getting better by the naked eye.

When the boat docked, Lin Ruhai, who had been on the boat for a few days, wanted to go down for a walk, and Lin Hao went down with him.

This pier is relatively small, and it sells some home-grown vegetables, and there is only a few meat bones left on the chopping board of a butcher shop.

There is also an inn, the front is a place to eat, and the back is a place to stay.The father and son went to the inn.Someone came out to greet him, wearing brocade clothes and leading a few servants. After seeing Lin Ruhai, he bowed and bowed, "The student has seen Mr. Lin."

Lin Ruhai felt that the person in front of him looked familiar, but he didn't know where he had seen him.

"Forgive me for my poor eyesight, I don't know if your Excellency is...?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't mention your identity as a student, it's embarrassing." He said so, but he still reported his family name. "The student's surname is Jia Minghua. When one of his parents was an official, he visited Lin Gong with his colleagues."

It turned out to be an official.

Lin Ruhai saluted with his peers, gave way to each other, and everyone sat down in the inn.

The gentleman surnamed Jia said that he offended the superior because he was too strict, which resulted in him having no official position.Now I heard that the imperial court is preparing to recruit a group of officials, and now I want to go to the capital to try my luck.

The two met by chance and did not get to know each other deeply, so of course Lin Ruhai would not recommend him.He said some wild words in the mountains and villages, and when the person surnamed Jia on the opposite side hinted repeatedly, Lin Ruhai felt that something was inappropriate.

"It's not that I don't want to recommend Mr., it's because I'm going to the capital this time to be punished. I can't protect myself, and I'm powerless to help Mr. on Qingyun Road. Few, but there are many Bole who have discerning talents. This old man wishes you all the best you want.”

This gentleman surnamed Jia did not lie, he took the money, and then talked about it, acting aboveboard.

At the beginning, Lin Ruhai saw that he had a good conversation, and he had a heart for socializing. Then he found that he was an official fan, and he was a little contemptuous. Now, he is open and generous, not like those people who are shy and shy. Another level of improvement.

After the two parties bid farewell, Jia Hua continued to travel by land, while Lin Ruhai took his wife and children by water.

After getting on the boat, Lin Hao said to his father, "My son thinks this person is a bit inappropriate, and he seems to be waiting here on purpose. Today he is waiting here to ask for a letter of recommendation. We didn't give him a letter, maybe he is in his heart. Already hated us."

"This kind of person seeks too much. If he is really in a high position, it will be a misfortune for the family and the country. All the princes in the court have a pair of piercing eyes. How can you let him be in a high position? You think too much."

"Even if it's like what daddy said, these villains have to guard against it."

"Since you insist so much, you should send someone to keep an eye on him."

Lin Hao agreed, and turned to greet his mother.

Jia Min only cares about the concubine's face, but Lin Hao cares about this younger brother.Seeing her younger brother sitting in the maid's arms, Yuxue was cute, so she took her and hugged her for a while.After talking a few words with Jia Min, he carried his younger brother to the deck to watch the river view.

The family returned home like an arrow, half a month later the big ship arrived near the capital, the Lin family sent people to wait on the pier early, and the two parties met and went home happily.

The emperor didn't announce any decree, so Lin Ruhai stayed at home to take care of his body. Seven or eight days after he came back, the imperial decree ordered him to be the Minister of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites is a Qingshui yamen, and being an official here can not make much money, and there are not many errands, so it is a very suitable place for the elderly.

The next day Lin Ruhai put on his official uniform and entered the palace to thank him.

After queuing for a while, we arrived at the imperial study room. After greeting the emperor, we only heard a few babblings of babies behind the screen. Wondering why there were babies here, we carefully raised our heads and glanced behind the screen, and saw a woman dressed The young woman turned out with a baby in her arms.

Lin Ruhai's eyes immediately filled with tears, and he wiped them with his sleeves in a rude manner. He was about to kneel down to salute, but was helped up by several eunuchs.

"How is Daddy now?"

"Okay, how is the empress? How is the prince? Well, the old minister has not seen the empress for more than three years."

Linlin couldn't help listening, tears rolled down her eyes, she quickly handed the fat son in her arms to others, and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.

"After hearing that Daddy was poisoned, I felt so uncomfortable in my heart that I didn't fall asleep for several nights..."

"The old minister is safe now, and the empress should also take care of her health."

Linlin nodded, looked at Lin Ruhai a few more times, took her son in her arms, turned her son behind the screen and left.

Lin Ruhai then raised his sleeve and wiped his eyes, "The old minister has lost his composure, I hope the emperor will forgive me."

"This is the family happiness of the flesh and blood, so what's the crime? My lord, take care of yourself and don't let the queen miss you."

Lin Ruhai Nuonuo said yes, there was nothing else to do, she said goodbye and came out of the imperial study.

An official from the household department who was waiting to see Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Ruhai's back and whispered to the people around him, "This old man has a good life and raised a good daughter. Otherwise, how could he come back from Jiangnan in such a beautiful way this time."

"Isn't he doing nothing on the books?"

"Why is it all right? There may not be any reason for nothing, it's just that his harem made up for his shortfall. The silver sent to the state treasury, a small amount of snowflake silver, one piece is 500 taels, and the money from the internal treasury to the treasury every year The transferred silver comes out of the same mold, and there will never be any mistakes.”

"This is the emperor's housework, let's stop talking about it."

Lin Ruhai's coming out to be an official is like a signal, and some social activities have begun, and the first stop for the husband and wife is Rongguo Mansion.The Rongguo Mansion is the closest relative of their family. Lin Ruhai's uncle passed away a few years ago and left a will to let his children and grandchildren go back to their ancestral home to farm the fields.

In addition, the main purpose of the couple is to thank the old lady Jia for taking care of Lin Daiyu for a few days. Jia Min knew that her daughter came back after not staying at her natal home for a few days. I didn't bring any good things with me, but I just asked people to buy some ordinary gifts in the capital to deal with it.

Rongguo Mansion is the same as other times, as long as guests come to the door, they always have to eat and drink.

Lin Ruhai was just recovering from a serious illness, and needed someone to support him when he walked a lot, so he didn't drink alcohol and other things if he could.

Jia Amnesty didn't need anyone to let him go. He got drunk and was carried back home. Jia Zheng held his beard and discussed poetry with his brother-in-law for a long time.It's just that among these juniors, Jia Baoyu is not included.

Lin Ruhai still remembered the spiritual little guy in his brother-in-law's house, so he asked Jia Zheng, "Why don't you see Baoyu? Where are you reading now?"

When Jia Zheng heard this, he turned around and saw that Nizi was not here.

"Ask Baoyu to visit his uncle."

When this word spread to the backyard, Jia Baoyu trembled all over when he heard it, and plunged his head into the old lady's arms, acting coquettishly but unwilling to go to the front yard, as maltose stuck to the old lady's body and couldn't be torn off.

Jia Min was hugging his concubine son, while Lin Daiyu sat beside her and lowered her head to hold her younger brother's little hand.After Jia Baoyu made such a fuss, Jia Min was dumbfounded, but Lin Daiyu had seen it too much, so she didn't take it seriously, and then lowered her head and pulled her little finger, and smiled crookedly at the corner of her brother's mouth.

The old lady coaxed and coaxed, and then let the two big maids around her accompany Jia Baoyu to the front, and told the two big maids to bring her message, "Just as my old lady said, they men If you drink alcohol outside, you can drink alcohol, if you dare to make things difficult for Baoyu, I will be the first one not to."

The big maid brought the words to Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai and stood up to listen.Jia Zheng was full of bitterness, but Lin Ruhai felt that the old lady spoiled her grandson too much, so she caught Baoyu and asked him a few homework questions, and found that there had been no progress in the past two years, and he was still using the old stock.

More than a little disappointed.

"There are a few words, if what I say is inappropriate, my brother-in-law will pretend that I have never heard of it... Baoyu, this child, I used to look full of aura, but there has been no progress in the past two years. Keeping this matter in mind, reading and passing on family history is a big deal.”

Jia Zheng burst into tears, "Why don't I know that this is a big deal, but the old lady at home doesn't let me take care of it, why don't I entrust Baoyu to my brother-in-law..."

Lin Ruhai shook his head, teaching a disciple wasted effort, he didn't want to teach Baoyu, the relationship between the two families was not as close as before, and it would not be good for his family to take over this matter.

"A few months ago I was in danger in the south of the Yangtze River... Although I looked fine now, I couldn't breathe after walking a few more steps, and I only drank half a bowl of porridge for a meal, and I didn't feel comfortable all over.

The emperor just saw that I was not up to the mark, so he let me go to the Ministry of Rites to take a job, just to save a little face.

It is these two children in my family, I don't have the time to raise them now, now that Hao'er is sent to the Imperial College, how will I look at his own fortune in the future. "

Jia Zheng noticed that he hadn't touched his chopsticks since he sat at the dinner table, and he hadn't taken a sip of wine, so he believed his statement in his heart.

"I also ask my brother-in-law to recommend a suitable person. When the time comes, I will personally bring Baoyu to the door for advice."

"I can tell you a few of them, all of them are brothers from my same sect, and they will all accept Baoyu for my sake."

When Jia Zheng heard this, he was overjoyed and asked Baoyu to salute Lin Ruhai quickly.

The guests and the host enjoyed themselves for a while, and Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai even discussed a few words because of the trends in the court. Jia Baoyu felt a little disgusted after hearing these words. He rolled his eyes, but his attitude showed a bit of contempt.

Lin Hao was holding a jug in his hand, and when the elders’ cups were empty, he quickly went up to pour wine. When he was not pouring wine, he stared at Jia Baoyu. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that this kid was interesting, and his small expression was full of disgust. , Sometimes the elation is particularly vivid.

When the banquet was about to end in the afternoon, Lin Ruhai said to his son, "Go to the back and ask your mother to come out and bring your younger siblings with you, we should go home.

As soon as Lin Hao put the jug on the wine table, he saw Jia Baoyu running to hug his leg with tears in his eyes, "Sister Lin is not allowed to go, and sister Lin is not allowed to go home."
