Miss Lin Family of the Red Chamber

"Sir, do you want to prepare a gift?"

The second housekeeper asked Lin Ruhai who was reading the post sent by Jia's house.

"Don't worry, first prepare all the gifts for Zhang's residence and wait until I return from Zhang's residence."

The most important thing now is to set the date of the marriage first. He doesn't have much time to stay in the capital this time for his Beijing Shu function, so it is necessary to arrange the marriage within this period of time.Fortunately, he had made preparations half a year ago, so even if the wedding date was tight, there would be no troubles due to lack of preparation.

Early the next morning, Lin Ruhai visited Zhang's mansion with a big gift, and after Lin Ruhai came out from Zhang's mansion, the news that Lin Ruhai proposed marriage to Zhang Ge's granddaughter who had retired to Zhang Ge and got married soon spread in Beijing.

As soon as Lin Ruhai arrived in the capital, he immediately attracted the attention of many people in the capital. Although Lin Ruhai's rank was only third rank, his official position was eye-catching. Jiangnan patrol salt censor was in charge of the emperor's money bag. I don't know how many officials in the court envy Lin Ruhai. Official positions, especially those grown-up princes and princes; so Lin Ruhai's every move after entering Beijing is under everyone's surveillance.

Of course, the Jia family's contribution is also indispensable in this; it turned out that Jia's mother asked Lin Ruhai to be investigated after she learned that Lin Ruhai had entered Beijing. I have to say that Jia's mother still has some connections in Beijing, and she soon got Lin Ruhai. The news of Zhang Ge's granddaughter's marriage proposal.Although she had doubts in her heart for a long time, after the news proved that Jia's mother was even more furious, she immediately sent people to watch Lin Ruhai, and at the same time released rumors that Lin Ruhai was unfilial, went to Beijing, did not visit his Yue's family, and married again without telling his mother-in-law, which is really extremely unfilial.

The slaves of Jia's mansion don't believe in anything else, but this ability to bully others and spread rumors is unmatched. Thanks to Jia's mansion, no one in Beijing knows that the former son-in-law of the Rongguo mansion is Lin Ruhailin, the Jianghuai patrol salt censor My lord continues to marry the granddaughter of Mr. Zhang Ge who has retired.

"Lin Ruhai continues to marry Zhang Ge's granddaughter?" The fourth prince frowned.

"That's right, it's spread all over the world, and no one even knows that the merchants are gone. Fourth brother, don't you just stay in the mansion and be stupid, you are too ill-informed about this news." After finishing speaking, the Ninth Prince sat down to The opposite party reaches out to pick up the fruit and bites it, without paying attention at all.

"Mr. Zhang Ge's granddaughter? Could it be that Meng family?"

"Hey, fourth brother, you know, I thought you didn't know?" Ninth Prince pouted.

Of course he knew.The Fourth Prince tapped his fingers on the table and ignored the Ninth Prince's words, wondering what he was thinking.

After the Tianqi Temple incident, the fourth prince knew Meng Yan's identity and asked people to investigate. At that time, it happened that the hooligans in Tianqi Temple were sent by the Rongguo Mansion. When the two incidents collided, the fourth prince quickly investigated Given the identities of Meng's mother and three sons, it is natural to know that Meng is Lin Ruhai's concubine, Meng Yan and Meng Zhou are Lin Ruhai's children, and they also know that Lin Ruhai's back house is not a secret.

Originally, he was aiming at Meng Yan's girl to save them and Tianqi Temple. He also thought about getting online through Lin Ruhai, the Meng family's mother and son. Later, he learned that Lin Ruhai did not recognize the intention of the third mother and son, so he gave up that idea.Unexpectedly, after more than a year, Lin Ruhai would marry the Meng family as his successor. It seems that the original plan is still feasible.

After gnawing the fruit core, the ninth prince looked at the fourth prince and said, "Fourth brother, what is going on with Lin Ruhai? I really don't understand how Lin Ruhai is a dignified Tanhualang, a third-rank official and a prime-time official. Why did you marry the Meng family?" A widow with two oil bottles."

The Ninth Prince didn't know Meng Yan's real life experience, he always thought that Meng Yan was brought to Zhang's residence after the Meng family became a widow.The Ninth Prince was free and easy by nature and didn't care about government affairs, so he naturally didn't want to investigate the matter of the Meng family's mother and daughter.

"Whoever told you that the Meng family came from a widow, don't talk about it outside casually."

Just because the status of the Meng family in the Zhang family is not low, Lin Ruhai took advantage of being Lin Ruhai's successor. After all, the Zhang family has good influence and connections in the court.

"Understood, this is not just talking casually with you and me, fourth brother." He is not a gossip who goes outside to talk about other people's gossip.

"By the way, fourth brother, didn't Qinghe say he was going to Beijing? When will he arrive?"

The fourth brother is really boring, Qinghe gets along well with him because he is too busy to finish the day.

"On your birthday."

"Ah... there are still five months left." The Ninth Prince let out a miserable cry and fell back on the back of the chair in boredom.

The Fourth Prince has no time to pay attention to the boring Ninth Prince. He has a lot to do, so he took out paper and ink to write a letter to Yan Chengze.

After news of Lin Ruhai's continued marriage spread, Lin Ruhai was interrogated by Xi and Dixuan in the palace. When Lin Ruhai came out of the palace, water dripped from his official robe, and his face was even paler.

Lin Ruhai knew long ago that he wanted to dictate to him about his remarriage, and even went to the Lin Mansion to meet Jia's daughter, Jiamu, who would not let him go, but he never expected that Jiamu would make a fuss. Come from the palace and make trouble in front of the empress dowager.Thinking of the scrutinizing eyes and majestic words when the emperor looked at him in Qianji Palace, Lin Ruhai couldn't help being even more dissatisfied with Jia Mu's actions.

The reason why he didn't go to Jia's mansion immediately after entering Beijing was not only because he wanted to go to Zhang's mansion, but more importantly, he hadn't figured out how to face Jia's mother, especially when he learned that Jia's mother had done bad things to Lin's mansion. He had to endure the troubles with the Rongguo Mansion.

It just didn't occur to him that he could bear Jia's mother but couldn't bear it. If so, why should he care about the face of Jia's family.

Lin Ruhai went back to the mansion, changed his clothes, took a thick stack of paper from the study, put it in his sleeve pocket, and took a carriage to Rongguo Mansion.

"Old lady, my aunt is here."

"Tell him to come in." Mother Jia's attitude was lukewarm, and her tone was still the usual command tone.

"Ruhai greets the old lady."

Lin Ruhai went into the house and bowed to Jia Mu, but he didn't kneel down and salute like before, and he didn't call Jia Mu mother-in-law but old lady. Although his attitude was unmistakable, it was not as respectful as before.

Seeing this, Mother Jia frowned to show that she was not hiding anything, but she was smart enough not to expose it. Instead, she called out lightly: "There is no need for the family to be polite, and the mandarin ducks should hurry up and show the uncle."

"Presumably the old lady has also heard Ruhai's purpose of coming to Beijing this time. Ruhai has already proposed marriage to Mr. Zhang Ge and will marry Mr. Zhang Ge's granddaughter."

Lin Ruhai didn't beat around the bush but said it directly.From Lin Ruhai's point of view, there was no need to beat around the bush. Everything was on his side. He was [-]% sure that Mother Jia would not dare to raise objections.

Jia's mother opened her eyes and looked at Lin Ruhai sharply: "Uncle Lin, I am still your mother-in-law anyway, so you should discuss this matter with me before making a decision, after all, my Min'er gave birth to you. The only legitimate daughter."

Mother Jia deliberately pretended not to know about the existence of Meng's mother and son, let alone mentioning the three of them. She bit the words "the only prostitute" very hard.

Mother Jia, who didn't answer Lin Ruhai's words, wiped away her tears again, with a look of grief on her face, if it wasn't for

"My poor Min'er... I, Min'er, have been married to your Lin family for more than ten years and devoted myself to serving my mother-in-law, giving birth to your children and taking care of the housework... But I don't want you to treat her like this after going to the Lin family The mother treats her daughter... Mother's good intentions are for him, the Lin family is for us, and Yu'er is trampled like this..."

The old lady cried and said that she was heartbroken, and those who didn't know thought how much she had been wronged, and how unfilial and disobedient Lin Ruhai was.

Hearing Jiamu's right and wrong, turning black and white, even the best-tempered would get angry. Lin Ruhai's hand holding the teacup had already had a vein, which shows how much effort he had put in to endure.

The sound of the teacup hitting the table interrupted Jia's mother's complaint: "Jia's family has indeed done a lot for our Lin family for more than ten years, but our Lin family cannot afford what she did."

"Lin Ruhai, what do you mean by this? It's not good for the old Min'er to die and be humiliated by you. My poor Min'er..."

"Mr. Jia is the daughter you personally raised, the old lady. They all say that women are like mothers. The old lady must be very clear about what Jia has done for our Lin family." Lin Ruhai almost gritted her teeth.

Now Lin Ruhai has no affection for Jia Min, all he has is hatred and resentment, all because when the imperial doctor in the palace asked Xihedi for the pulse of peace just now, when Xihedi gave Lin Ruhai the pulse, he had already been raped took sterilization pills.This is to drug the blood of his Lin family!Lin Ruhai was furious, besides Jia Min, Lin Ruhai couldn't think of anyone else who would drug him.

Lin Ruhai is a very grateful person. Jia Daishan's support and secret protection at the beginning of his career has saved him many detours in his official career. Lin Ruhai has always been very grateful to Jia Daishan and the Rongguo Mansion.This feeling of gratitude continued to Jia Min. Of course, Lin Ruhai's feelings for Jia Min are largely because Jia Min is indeed a woman with both talent and appearance, and his heart is connected with him.

In fact, Lin Ruhai really misunderstood Jia Min. The sterilization drug in him was not given by Jia Min. Even if Jia Min wanted to take it, he still had a chance.Since Jia gave birth, she has been grounded and there is no chance. Lin Ruhai's sterilization drug is completely at the intention of Jia's mother, and Jia's mother asked Liu Mama to do it.

However, no matter whether it was Jia Min or Jia Mu, in short, this matter of the sterilization drug wiped away the last trace of Lin Ruhai's affection for the Rongguo Mansion.

Mother Jia's heart skipped a beat when she heard Lin Ruhai's words, and she immediately had a bad feeling.Sure enough, Lin Ruhai got up and took out a stack of papers from his sleeves and threw them on the tea table in front of Jiamu.

"Old lady, take a good look at what your daughter has done for my Lin family!"

Mother Jia took the paper and looked at it, and her face changed drastically. It was written on the paper that Jia Min poisoned her mother-in-law and killed concubines and concubines in the Lin Mansion; Mother Jia's face was very ugly.But this time she couldn't say a word.She knew what Lin Ruhai gave her these things, and Lin Ruhai was threatening her.He threatened that if she dared to do something more, he would reveal these things.If these things are really revealed, then the reputation of her Jia family will be completely ruined.

Lin Ruhai was no longer in the mood to talk to Jia Mu anymore, he got up and left after he had achieved his goal.

"Ruhai's wedding date is set on the twentieth of this month. If the old lady is willing to have a glass of wedding wine, Ruhai will not be very happy. It's getting late, so Ruhai will tell you first."

Mother Jia looked angrily at Lin Ruhai's leaving back, her red eyes burst out with strong hatred: "Good for you, Lin Ruhai!"
