The Founding of the Red Chamber

Actually, besides connecting with his nephews, Lin Jing is also very busy. He is the leading general of the third rank of Hanzhou City.Even Chen Qibao, when summoning the generals going south, also had Lin Jing's part.

In addition, Lin Jing also had to hand over the essentials of the Hanzhou Army at the gates of each yamen.

Lin Teng also said, "Fourth uncle, you and third brother give me a handwritten letter, and I'll get someone to do it for you." With the status of the Lin family in the imperial capital, it doesn't take fourth uncle to walk around in person.

Lin Jing said, "One yard counts for one yard. Naturally, you can do it for us. However, your third brother has never seen the Yamen Gate of the imperial capital. Tell him to go and see for himself."

Tu Xiaosan said, "Last time I came to see it, my Majesty came out after seeing it, and took a look from a distance."

Lin Jing smiled, "Then take a closer look this time." Lin Teng said, "Since I have already left the clan, it is naturally not easy to use the connections in the clan for this kind of thing. There are many people in the imperial capital, so there is no need to worry about it because of this kind of thing." Little things make people talk too much."

Lin Teng didn't say any more.

Tu Xiaosan and Lin Jing went there in person, and when Tu Xiaosan came back to the imperial capital, he would also learn a lot from him.Naturally, everything was cheap in the Ministry of War, and even a small team was inserted.It's not that Lin Jing used the relationship, the main reason is that Lin Yi is in charge of the Ministry of War, and Lin Jing often came to look for his elder brother when he was young, and some old people in the Ministry of War recognized him.When I met him, although it wasn't easy to show affection, there was some kindness inside.Lin Jing has always been generous and sweet-mouthed, and his uncles, uncles, brothers and brothers greeted him quietly.His affairs are naturally arranged first.

Both Lin Jing and Tu Xiaosan had high official ranks, and they also met Lin Yi. Lin Yi had a completely business-like face, approved the note, and immediately served tea to see off the guests.

Go to the Ministry of War first, then the Ministry of Households.

It’s different when you go to the household department. After sitting on the bench for half a day, you have to charge [-]% more for the moisturizing fee. Lin Jing asked, “When did you change the rules?”

The little official raised his eyelids, and glanced at Lin Jing from the corner of his eye, "It's the rule since I came here, love doesn't come!"

"Fart your mother! What, you think we don't understand the market when we see people from outside the gate?"

"If you want to understand the market, you won't be able to say such stupid words."

Lin Jing's slap was a slap in the face. He was not very strong, but he was also an imposing adult man, and the slap slapped the little official's face swollen.Lin Jing sneered, "Okay! Just wait, if you Master Shangshu don't send me the approval slip in person tomorrow, I'll ask Lu Qing to come pick it up in person!"

The little official still wanted to call someone, but Tu Xiaosan pulled out half of the saber from his waist with a bang, and the little official went back with a fright.Tu Xiaosan cursed, "A dog sees people as inferior", and took Lin Jing's hand out of the yamen of the household department.

It was already getting out of the yamen of the household department, it was getting late, Lin Jing didn't have the mood to hang out, so he went back to the post house with Tu Xiaosan.

Tu Xiaosi ordered the cook to prepare dinner, and quietly told Xu Nian about the matter. Tu Xiaosi and Xu Nian got to know each other well, and Tu Xiaosi said straightly, "Oh, Anian is really awesome. You don't know, Hu That little official in the Ministry is very airy. In the Ministry of War, the money for moistening hands is only one thousand taels, but when you go to him, you will be charged 300 taels more, and the nose is not the nose and the eyes are not eyes."

"Are you done?" Xu Nian asked.

"No." Tu Xiaosi said, "How could Ah Jing bear such anger? My brother accidentally offended him, and he only forgave my brother after half a year of compensation. As for that little official, Ah Jing slapped him across the face. It's swollen." At this point, Tu Xiaosai breathed out, and said, "I used to think that Ah Jing was narrow-minded and annoying, but I don't think there will be a time when people like it."

Xu Nian said, "When did my brother-in-law get angry with Wu Ying'er? Judging by what you said, you really don't know good people."

"Okay, okay, last time I complained to your uncle, my brother beat me up." Tu Xiaosi pulled Xu Nian, "Ah Nian, let's go to the night market tonight." Niu Zi didn't come out, and when Tu Xiaosi came back to the imperial capital, although Xu Nian was not very familiar with the imperial capital, he was still much better than Tubietu Xiao Si.

Xu Nian said, "I'll have to ask the Ministry of Accounts first, see if we can help, what kind of rules are there for my uncle and third brother?"

"What's the point of asking, Ah Jing eats everything and never suffers." Tu Xiaosi was very relieved.

For a while, when Fa Cai came over, the three of them discussed going to the evening market.As a result, there were only Lin Jing and Xiaosan at dinner, Lin Jing said, "Fortunately, we don't live in the imperial capital for a long time, otherwise, Xiaosi and the others wouldn't be fooled by their eyes."

"It's possible to be fooled, but the heart can't be fooled." Tu Xiaosan served Lin Jing good soup, and said, "Today, the Ministry of household affairs has been put off, and after this matter is over, let's also go to the evening market in the imperial capital. Xiaosi talked like crazy."

"I have to go to General Lu Qinglu tomorrow, let's go later."

Tu Xiaosan said, "Tell me, can the Ministry of Households send us the approval note? The Minister of the Ministry of Households is a senior official of the second rank."

"Can you not count this?"

"I'm worried that the Household Department will make trouble based on this. Didn't you say that the Household Department is Xie Guogong's territory. Did Xie Guogong send someone to stab you." Tu Xiaosan gritted his teeth, "This old man."

"Today's embarrassment is probably caused by someone with a heart. At this time, how dare he refuse to approve the notes from other families in the household department, and dare not approve the notes from the army going south?" Lin Jing said, "Before I went to the household department, I expected that I would be rejected. It’s embarrassing, I didn’t even intend to swallow this breath at all. The current trend is to go south to suppress the rebels, and His Majesty hates me so much, so he has to use me to suppress the rebels. The Ministry of Households is looking for shame.”

Tu Xiaosan said, "Ah Jing, you always do things unexpectedly."

"What's unexpected about this? If you have an enemy in the household department, you can also think that the trip to the household department will not go well."

"It's not about that." Tu Xiaosan said, "If you're an ordinary person, you're just thinking about being useful to the household department in the future, so I'm afraid you have to hold back."

Lin Jing smiled slightly, took the green bamboo shoots with his chopsticks, but didn't say any more.

Tu Xiaosan said, "Ah Jing, you don't deal with the Xie family. Didn't you tell me before that the household department is the territory of the Xie family, and today's matter was instigated by the Duke of the Xie family?"

"No, although Xie Guogong is a little tricky in his actions, he is not an ignorant person, and he will not make trouble at this time. It should be the subordinates who make their own decisions."

As the saying goes, the one who knows you best is often your opponent.

This sentence is very applicable to Xie Guogong and Lin Jing. Lin Jing slapped half of the face of the small official of the household department, and said two harsh words. The queen went to Xie Guogong's mansion.Xie Guogong barely swollen the servant's face, Xie Guogong was so angry that he pointed at the tip of the servant's nose and asked, "Do you think your life is too long?"

"Teacher, I really can't see Lin's arrogant face!"

"Okay, this time you don't have to see that arrogant face surnamed Lin again!" Xie Guogong slapped the table, "You idiot! Idiot!"

Xie Changyun was busy persuading him, and said, "We can't make this matter a big deal now, but if we send the approval note to Lin Si like this, where will the household department's face be put?"

The servant said, "I don't believe it, can he really ask Lu Qing to come to the household department to pick it up?"

"Are you stupid? Is this a matter of approval?" Xie Guogong said, "Most of the troops from outside the Guanzhou used to suppress the bandits this time were troops from the second city of Hanjin. As for the false title of general, Lin Jing is still a third-rank Zhaowu general. Here, it is because His Majesty does not want to see him. But right now, the imperial court has to use the Guanwai army. Lin Jing has a strong temper and a violent temper. Does he have the false title of general? Not necessarily. But, he will definitely have to fight for the position of general. This is a matter in their army, and has nothing to do with the household department. Your brain is kicked by a donkey and you make things difficult He, he is worried that he will not have a chance to attack, and now he is involved in the household department. Tell me, do you want face or life?"

The servant still wants to die.

Xie Guogong immediately made a decision, "Send the approval note to Lin Jing immediately, and don't make any trouble out of the festival."

The servant felt ashamed again, Xie Changyun said, "When the matter of suppressing the bandits in the south of the Yangtze River is over, are you afraid that the Guanwai army will not use the household department?"

The servant thought that there was still a chance to get revenge for the big revenge, and thought that it would not be too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, so he felt ashamed, and sent the note to Lin Jing that night before the curfew.Lin Jing didn't intend to see him at all, and Xie Changyun was still helping to smooth things over, Lin Jing said, "If it wasn't for Chang Yun's face, if the Minister of Household Affairs doesn't come today, this matter wouldn't be over."

The servant was also from the third rank, and when he saw Lin Jing accepting the approval note, he left first.Xie Changyun said, "Ah Jing, why do you need to be so serious? It's just that the subordinates don't understand the rules. You have been outside the pass for the past few years, and some small officials in the imperial capital have never seen you. If they know it's you, they might just moisten their hands I dare not accept money."

"This money is the income of your imperial capital's yamen. It can't be saved anymore, but I can't make people take advantage of me." Lin Jing didn't comment on Xie Changyun's words, but said, "I thought I hadn't been in the imperial capital for a few years. What is big, what is small, what is heavy, what is light, it is all in a mess. Seeing that there is a curfew, I will not keep you anymore, so let this matter go. You go back and talk to the old man for me. Alright, the Duke of the country."

Lin Jing saw off the guests, and Xie Changyun said goodbye.

Xie Changyun went home and told his grandfather roughly what happened in the post house, Xie Changyun said, "Lin Si is especially good at talking now."

"He has been very good at talking since he was born. When he left the imperial capital, I thought he would be a rich man at most. I don't want to have the current situation." Xie Guogong hated Lin Jing very much. Xie Guogong has never said anything bad.

"Grandfather, is Lin Jing really going to compete with General Lu for military power?"

"With his temperament, it is inevitable to fight."

Xie Changyun hesitated to speak, Xie Guogong said, "Speak up if you have something to say."

"I feel that Lin Jing let this matter go lightly, but he didn't mean to involve Lu Qing."

"It's not likely that someone will embarrass him even if he hasn't arrived at the household department. I want to know that if the screwdriver is not motivated, he will definitely stop them." Xie Guogong said, "Lin Jing is difficult to deal with. It's not because of how deep this person's schemes are, but because of his improvisation, he is really slippery. Ah Yun, if Lin Jing was a fourth- and fifth-rank official outside, I wouldn't take it to heart, let alone I will not let you go to the post house with Chen Shilang to settle the matter. General Zhaowu of the third rank is not a petty official. Let’s say that the matter of the household department was just a trivial matter. According to Lin Jing’s ability, it is He settled the matter quietly. If Chen Shilang could hold him down, he wouldn't come to ask for ideas today. The reason why he made a big deal of trouble has another deep meaning, that is, to show that he is not a good guy to mess with. of."

"Is there anyone in the imperial capital who doesn't know that he is not easy to mess with?"

"The matter of Duke Xiangyang, after all, these years have passed. What's more, this time when the army went south, there were not a few generals and officials accompanying the army. He is using the household department to establish his prestige."

"But since it's Liwei, why lift it up high and put it down gently?"

"Where is it that you put it down gently? Believe it or not, the matter of the household department can be spread to all the wealthy families in the imperial capital tonight." Xie Guogong laughed, "That's why I told Chen Shilang that he wants to fight for power with Lu Qing. He can't Tell him to use the Ministry of Households as a raft, and we will just let him use it stupidly."

Xie Changyun smiled and said, "It turns out that this is grandfather's plan to alienate."

"It's not all estrangement. Lin Jing's temperament, if he can't really suppress him in terms of ability, can he be inferior to others? It's impossible to fight openly, but there will inevitably be a contest in the dark." Xie Guogong said, "Anyway, this It's their military affairs and has nothing to do with us. These things, I can say, Lu Qing is a veteran, has been in the army for many years, and this is the first time he has dealt with foreign troops, Lu Qing might not want to try the depth of the foreign army."

Xie Guogong smiled, "Let them fight."
