Auntie Lin of the Red Chamber

Chapter 39 Transfer to the capital

Another two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Suzhou City in July is already so hot that it keeps screaming.In the evening of that day, Lin Ruhai returned home with a rare expression of seriousness, and hurried all the way to Xiang'en Courtyard.He suddenly received a transfer notice today, and he was transferred to the Department of Wenxuan Qingli of the Ministry of Officials, which is in charge of the rank and listing, examination, selection, promotion, and monthly selection of civil servants.This position came very suddenly. Three days ago, he also received a letter from the king of Yongjun. In the letter, apart from introducing some current affairs of the government, that is, asking about some Jiangnan affairs as usual, there was no mention of it in a single word. His job transfer.

In the past few years, ever since Lin Ruhai agreed to play dark chess with King Yongjun, the two began to exchange letters. Perhaps Lin Ruhai's official position has not yet reached the center, and most of the letters between the two are just exchanging information, and they have never mentioned Any event related to the decision-making of the government.Of course, what I have to explain here is that every year when Lin Ruhai goes to Beijing to report on his duties, he will have one or two secret talks with Tuzhen.So, not to mention how secretive these letters are, the contents of the letters still have code words to explain their meaning. Except for him and Tuzhen, anyone who reads it is an ordinary, homely letter that was intercepted. There will be nothing to criticize either.

Lin Ruhai was a little puzzled, but she wasn't worried.Not to mention that there is still King Yongjun in Beijing, which is still a solid background alliance for the time being, even his official resume over the years has won the emperor's satisfaction and trust. In this regard, Lin Ruhai is very confident.Even though he has a little friendship with King Yongjun on the surface, but King Yongjun is known to the whole world as a "cold-faced lonely king", and he himself has not participated in any party fights. The Lin family has always been a pure minister, The emperor also knew.Therefore, although the job transfer came suddenly and unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai was still not worried about his future, what he was worried about was his family.

This official position is a Beijing official, and he is going to serve in the capital.But his family is old and young, with an old mother who is nearly sixty years old, and a three-year-old son.They were exhausted after traveling thousands of miles, and none of them were afraid that they would not be able to bear it on the road.It's okay if he doesn't go, it's an imperial decree and cannot be defied, but once he leaves, what will happen to the family.

Mrs. Lin was very calm, she had already imagined such a situation.She is an old bone, so she must stay in her old home.The triplets are too young, so they will not be allowed to follow them this time. Of course, if Lin Ruhai is re-elected as an official in the capital after three years, it will not be too late to send them there.The eldest grandson, Lin Yan, is five years old and has already started studying formally, so he must follow him to the capital.Daughter-in-law Jia Min is supposed to stay in her hometown to serve her mother-in-law, but Jia Min is definitely not willing, and her natal family is also in the capital. She might be able to help her son a little when she goes to the capital, so Jia Min should follow along.As for Wu Jin, the three younger ones need their mother more. Besides, Lin Ruhai is not around, and Wu Xun needs to come to help occasionally, so Wu Jin should stay too.Wu Jin has not been pregnant for the past two years, and there are four grandchildren in front of her, so she is not so eager to have more grandchildren...

When the old lady said this to her son, Lin Ruhai had nothing to say. The old lady had already thought about it, so let's do it this way.When the news went on, Jia Min was ecstatic. On the one hand, she could finally see her natal family whom she hadn't seen for more than ten years. On the other hand, if Wu Jin didn't go, Lin Ruhai would only have her by her side.In the past few years, I don't know when Lin Ruhai stopped going to those two aunts. If he didn't stay in the study, he would either come to her Jia Min or go to Wu Jin's.Sometimes Jia Min couldn't help thinking that she might prefer Lin Ruhai to be in a group of concubines, so that when a hundred flowers compete for beauty, there will be no one Wu Jin, so she, the wife of the main house, will be the only one who stands alone and stands firmly at the top. Already...

Wu Jin didn't think about this, she didn't have any objection to this notice, because even if she was allowed to choose, she would probably choose to stay.Because in her eyes, this is a multiple-choice question between one son and three sons.She is reluctant to part with the eldest son, but the three younger sons are younger and need her more, there are still three, two more than one... Wu Jin has convinced himself intellectually, but his heart still seems to be torn apart Tangled in pain, and felt as if he had abandoned his eldest son, he was even more guilty and uneasy.By the time Lin Ruhai came to her at night, Wu Jin's eyes were red and swollen from crying...

Before Lin Ruhai came, he had already been to the main room.Jia Min is very happy, and has already started to make a list of things to bring. The things that have been thrown out of the house are piled up everywhere, and there is no place for people to step down.Lin Ruhai had no choice but to say a few words before coming out.For the first time, when Jia Min saw Lin Ruhai coming out of her room at night, she lifted her hands after a bit of sourness, and stopped hurting her.

Lin Ruhai knew that Wu Jin would be sad, but when he was so sad, Lin Ruhai felt a sense of windfall, and sighed inwardly: This silly girl looks careless at ordinary times, but she doesn't know that she will be so reluctant to part with me, she must have affection for me in her heart deep.I don't know at all, people haven't thought of him yet, it's just that the heart of being a mother is entangled...

Wu Jin was held in Lin Ruhai's arms and patted on the back, listening to comforting words, she gradually stopped crying, but she still couldn't get up in Lin Ruhai's arms, she couldn't cry anymore .Lin Ruhai was helpless by Wu Jin's occasional coquettishness, so he had to coax him again: "You are all mothers, and you cry like a rabbit. Be careful that Changtai and the others will laugh at you. Besides, after two years, Lin Ruhai If the brothers are older, they won't be able to withstand the bumps of the boat, and they will definitely pick up the four of them, mother and child."

Wu Jin only thought that the four of their mothers were left behind. Although it meant that their brothers were still young, the main thing was to let them stay with the old lady.But what Lin Ruhai said meant that they were worried about their brother's health, afraid that they would get sick if they couldn't withstand the long and bumpy journey.Wu Jin got excited for a moment, and asked: "If the second child is in good health, they will not get sick if they take care of them on the road, will they also take us there?"After a pause, he thought about it quickly, and then said: "Master, think about it, their brothers are very healthy and rarely get sick. That time when they had a fever, it was their brothers who had teeth, but even children who have teeth will have a fever." Yes, if you don't believe me, you can consult Dr. Liu."

When Lin Ruhai was told by Wu Jin, he also thought that these sons of his were indeed extremely healthy. As a man in his prime, he would occasionally get a cold or something, but their brothers were almost never sick.There is also some excitement. Although the younger sons are only three years old now, they have already entered the study with their elder brother to learn to read. Although they have experienced the baptism of the elder son's cuteness during the enlightenment period, the triplets are cute and amusing together. It's powerful and fun.Lin Ruhai didn't want to lose such a good time to accompany her son to grow up.But if only the old mother is left in the family, the good son Lin Ruhai disagrees again, saying: "Then there is only the old lady in the family, that's not okay."

Wu Jin thought so too, the old lady was so kind to her, she couldn't bear to let the old lady be alone.Well, things are back to square one.But after this interruption, although the suggestion was dismissed, Wu Jin cheered up a bit, and said: "Then I will prepare a lot of things for Changtai to take away."

As soon as Lin Ruhai heard something wrong, didn't he miss him before and was so sad that he cried all over his face? Why did he pack up his things and couldn't think of him anymore, so he asked: "Then Jiner wants to give it to the master. Prepare something, is there any surprise?"I also remembered that that time when Wu Jin wanted to give him the so-called "surprise", he was guarded by this girl for many days like a thief, and his heart was hurt, and finally he couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, so he found a chance to ask Mother Lin I just learned from the speechless and powerless Nanny Lin that Wu Jin was just secretly making clothes for him. Lin Ruhai... After finally receiving the clothes, Lin Ruhai had a subtle feeling that he could finally be relieved. ···

Wu Jin was asked by Lin Ruhai, and realized that he had neglected again, so he quickly made amends: "Of course there is a master, but there is no surprise, after packing up Changtai's things, I will clean up for the master by the way."Lin Ruhai felt that she was run over by this naughty and silly girl in her arms, and she had to retaliate, and she had to make it clear that for her master and me, how could it be "by the way"?He didn't dislike Wu Jin's rabbit eyes that were still red from crying before, so he picked Wu Jin up and went to the inner room.

Lin Ruhai, who is not worried about his future, should actually be worried.In these years, although he knew some general situation of the capital from his classmates and friends in the capital, as well as King Yongjun, but without being in it, he couldn't deeply understand the fierce struggle of the princes to seize the heir.In the past, the change of dynasties was always accompanied by bloody and treacherous changes, especially this Emperor Xikang, who had many sons and daughters, and had as many as fourteen grown-up princes who still held real power.

Emperor Xikang not only knew astronomy from the top but geography from the bottom, and his literary and martial arts skills were superb. He also attached great importance to the cultivation of his sons' studies and abilities since they were young, and he was very strict and demanding.Unsurprisingly, from the school with the best resources and equipment in the country, trained by the country's top masters, and personally reviewed by the world's worst father, the princes who grow up are all outstanding, outstanding, and extraordinary in bearing.But if a person is excellent, he is unwilling to be inferior to others, especially if he still has the status of a prince, he is only one step away from the highest position in the world.Under the absolute temptation, who is willing to let others hold the power of life and death for fish and meat?And if you don't fight or fight, it's all in vain to be reincarnated as a prince and come to this world for a while.
