Auntie Lin of the Red Chamber

On this day, early in the morning, Wu Jin got busy.Because the dried fruit sent to Suzhou had already been dried and collected, and the jam was also made yesterday, which can be packed and shipped to Suzhou together with the Beijing specialties that Lin Ruhai had prepared a few days earlier.

What I have to mention is that yesterday evening, after returning home, the Changtai brothers not only wrote letters full of affectionate thoughts and ardent care to their grandmother who was far away, but also secretly prepared gifts for the grandmother.For this reason, Wu Jin was a little angry and jealous, so it was fine not to show her the letter she wrote, and even prepared a surprise gift for the old lady behind her back, and she would not snatch it, besides, she had never had a son They give well-prepared gifts.Wu Jin looked at the boys who were jumping up and down in front of him preparing gifts for his dear grandmother, and secretly frowned: Brats, wait...

Lin Ruhai didn't have the leisurely mind to be jealous, but his mood was not very good, because he was mocking his sons in his heart.The reason is that before, he felt that his sons only went to school for a few days one by one, and they couldn't know a few words, so it would be very difficult to write letters.Even if Changtai studied for an extra year, Lin Ruhai, who knew him very well, dared to guarantee that he would never be able to write a complete letter.The good father kindly suggested that he would provide free off-site assistance to his sons.But to be clear, he absolutely did not intend to take this opportunity to know the content of the letter.Unexpectedly, the sons ruthlessly and resolutely rejected him, and even kicked him out of the study when it was over, it is said that it was to prevent his father from peeping.Lin Ruhai...

Unaware that the Changtai brothers, who have deeply offended their biological parents, are still devoting themselves to preparing their "heart" for their grandmother with great enthusiasm.What Wu Jin didn't know was that they not only packed toys they thought were fun, but also prepared delicious food for grandma, and they also thoughtfully prepared snacks that they thought were delicious and easy to chew.

Mrs. Lin, who are still in preschool and have been spoiled and raised, have not learned such common sense of life, that is, there is a long distance from the capital to Suzhou, and such food is not refrigerated to preserve its quality. The food will only get one result, that is Rot and spoilage.So much so that Mrs. Lin read the letters from her grandchildren that there were delicious food for her, but when she opened the outermost package, she could already smell a strong rotten smell.The old lady was moved and distressed, but finally attributed the result to her son and half-daughter-in-law. For this reason, she strongly condemned her son's dereliction of duty in a reply letter.

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------

Wu Jin watched the motorcade leave the gate of Yi, and then sent Lin Ruhai who was going to the study outside, before returning to his yard.Holding the roll shed and looking at the half-embroidered patterns on it, Wu Jin's thoughts slowly drifted away.Although she said she was swearing before, she still had a little uncertainty in her heart. Is Jia Min's baby really Lin Daiyu? What if it wasn't? I can sit up and play, but what if it’s not, what if Jia Min gave birth to twins... She can come to this world, and if something incredible and unexpected happens, it’s nothing Bar.

Previously, Wu Jin's life scope was limited to the back house of the Lin Mansion in Suzhou, so Wu Jin's understanding of the rules of this society was still in a state of hearing, and he didn't have a deep understanding of the class status of the Lin family.But after arriving in the capital, Wu Jin felt for the first time what the strict division of identities in the feudal society and her aunt status meant.It means that she cannot go in and out of the main hall without the guidance of her wife, which means that she is not qualified to entertain guests for Lin Ruhai for the Lin family, so Lin Ruhai has only two choices when visiting relatives and friends in the capital, either go to someone else's house or stay in a restaurant Host a banquet.

Another point that hurts Wu Jin the most is that because the Changtai brothers were born by one of her aunts, it means that their identities have been a sensitive topic since they landed. The relationship can only be the brother of the wife.It means that if they struggle no matter how well they do, if they meet someone who values ​​their concubines, they may be discriminated against and treated unfairly due to their natural identities.

That's why before and after the Changtai brothers went to Shen's mansion, Lin Ruhai quietly and repeatedly entrusted them: don't mention Wu Jin as a mother. Remarks... She didn't even know how her heart felt when she was asked why by Changtai crying.

Wu Jin couldn't help thinking again, is she going to worship in front of the Buddha and Bodhisattva?If the former Wu Jin wanted to see Lin Daiyu's mood, but it was just the attitude of ordinary fans towards idol stars, then now, at this moment, Wu Jin would like to say hello to bow down and kneel down to welcome Lin Daiyu's arrival, of course it is only Lin Daiyu Don't buy one get one free add-on...

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

In the afternoon of this day, when Lin Ruhai was making the final preparations for his new post tomorrow in the study, two eunuchs came and informed him: The emperor is calling, right away.

Before he had time to think about it, Lin Ruhai changed his official uniform and followed the eunuch into the palace.Along the way, Lin Ruhai was thinking about the reason why he was suddenly summoned by His Majesty the Emperor.Because before that, he had already chatted with Emperor Xikang twice.Once when he first entered the capital, Emperor Xikang asked him to talk about Jiangnan affairs. The second time, that is, four days ago, Emperor Xikang expressed his expectations for him and how high his expectations were for him. So what are we talking about this time?Lin Ruhai looked at the two strict and courteous eunuchs of the Qianqing Palace who were walking in front, and while making his demeanor more upright and comfortable, he thought about the answer in his heart.

But when he entered Qianqing Palace and saw the prince's important officials lined up in two lines, Lin Ruhai felt at ease.Looking at this posture, Lin Ruhai knew why, the position of the right servant of the official department.He also got the new news: Mr. Ying, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, had a stroke the night before and fell into a coma.But Lin Ruhai was a little surprised that he didn't expect the princes to have made such a fuss. He had heard of it before, but it was still not as strong as what he saw with his own eyes.Regardless of other things, Lin Ruhai had to kneel down and salute first.This is over, and then Lin Ruhai can officially enter the discussion meeting.Of course, at this time, he also discovered that he was not the only new servant.

The right servant of the official department of the second rank, in this sensitive period, this position is vacant, and it really attracted the eyes of the whole world as soon as it appeared. This sentence is absolutely not adding any water when used here.The timing of King Yongjun's attack was good before, and he grabbed the fat meat of Wenxuan of the Ministry of Officials, and the rest of the princes were not stupid.But this time, the fat that appeared was more tender, what should I do?Grabbing must be robbed, but how to rob is a problem. The way of smearing each other and hindering each other last time has been proved to be stupid and wrong.But this time, the incident happened in a hurry, and the princes hadn't figured out a countermeasure, or maybe their staff hadn't come up with an effective countermeasure, so the old man at home called: Come on, stop thinking about it in your little nest , Come to me, let's get together and discuss.

First, Emperor Xikang kicked off and asked everyone for their opinions.The princes went off to play football, led the teams, left and right hit and threw knives and stones, but they didn't play at their own goals, they just watched from the sidelines, and collectively bombarded whoever wanted to grab the ball.Poor those honest children who were originally neutral and only wanted to do practical things for the country, were innocently wronged by the flames of war.In the end, the situation was stalemate, and Emperor Xikang had no choice but to summon all the officials above the fourth rank of the Ministry of Officials to talk about their thoughts.

Since Lin Ruhai hadn't taken office yet, even though his official rank was at the front, he was still the last one to answer.At this time, there is absolutely no intention to exclude Lin Ruhai, because when answering tricky questions, of course, the further you go, the more advantageous you will be, especially the last one, because you can summarize the various opinions of the predecessors, and observe and summarize the ultimate goal of the person above.Lin Ruhai was extremely fortunate at this time, fortunately, this happened today, the day before he took office.

Lin Ruhai noticed that no matter who the adults in front chose, Emperor Xikang always looked unpredictable and allowed the princes and courtiers to find fault.Lin Ruhai thought, maybe Emperor Xikang didn't have a candidate to succeed him, so he would rather leave it blank.So when Lin Ruhai came forward to reply, he said: "Return to Your Majesty, I think that although Mr. Ying is ill, it is not hopeless to get better. Besides, everyone is like this on weekdays. If you are sick, you will ask for leave and go back. Heal the disease, and then come back and serve the country after being cured. This time, with regard to Mr. Ying, can't we just wait for Mr. Ying to recover and come back?"

When Lin Ruhai said this, he paused for a moment, looked up at Emperor Xikang, and saw that His Majesty was no longer unpredictable, and was stroking his beard and watching him with a smile.Lin Ruhai thought in his heart: Bingo, he guessed right.

Of course, Emperor Xikang noticed that Lin Ruhai was looking at him, and nodded slightly as if casually.Lin Ruhai received the reminder, so he said: "There are four divisions under the Ministry of Officials: Wenxuan Qingli Division, Seal Inspection Division, Jixun Division and Kaogong Division. The division of labor is already clear. In the past, each division was led by the servant to complete the task. Then report to Dong Shangshu, now that the waiter is not here, Mr. Cao, the left servant, may be too busy, or Mr. Cao will be in charge of the general manager, and each department will be responsible for it, and finally Mr. Dong will review it. This is my humble opinion, please His Majesty decides."

All the ministers were dumbfounded, because no one could say the word "not waiting".After all, if people eat whole grains, everyone will have a headache once, so this time they say they can't wait, is it possible that next time they ask for sick leave, the position can be replaced by someone else?Just scolding Lin Ruhai for being cunning, who doesn't know that Master Ying is bedridden due to a stroke, and that disease is almost a terminal illness, okay? Didn't they dare to start treatment without seeing the hospital? Otherwise, they wouldn't gather here Discuss the replacement candidate.But no one can say this, otherwise, it would be a curse to others, even Mr. Ying's usual enemy can't say it at this time, because it will give people a vicious and vicious impression. , surrounded by all the officials, the emperor is still sitting on it, so it's hard to say.

The princes looked at all the ministers under their command who bowed their heads in thought but refused to refute. They secretly hated the uselessness of the subordinates. After scolding the subordinates, they turned their heads to look at Lin Ruhai standing proudly in the center, and secretly said "cunning".Of course, except for the Yongjun King here, although he was also lamenting Lin Ruhai's wit and intelligence, he used all praise words.However, King Yong, who had praised his general for being so powerful, also secretly praised his original wisdom and decisiveness in his heart.

Emperor Xikang was also in a similar mood to King Yongjun, he stopped holding it this time, but laughed outright, and said: "Lin Aiqing's words are reasonable, let's handle it according to this method, what do you think? "All the princes and courtiers thought in their hearts: You have said that, what else can we say?While shouting "Your Majesty, Your Majesty" together.

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ---------

So, this evening, when Lin Ruhai returned home, he brought a bunch of rewards.

Wu Jin wondered, this has not started to work, how come there is already a reward?So he looked at his man with eyes full of confusion.

Lin Ruhai smiled triumphantly, and said, "I have an idea for the emperor." Wu Jin...

Wu Jin felt that she might know why the ancient treasury was always empty, because it was rewarded by the emperor.Think about it, in such a big country, how many things will happen at every moment of every day, even if you exclude the small and miscellaneous things, and only talk about big things, there will be quite a large number. Giving such generous rewards every time you come up with a solution, no matter how rich and powerful a country is, it can only be in a state of empty treasury...
