The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Lin Ruhai's life is really not very easy. He has not been short in Jiangnan's officialdom, and he feels that he has seen everything he should have seen. It was much more chaotic than what I saw originally.I am afraid that because of this, Emperor Cai is determined to rectify the administration of officials in the south of the Yangtze River.

It would be nice if the officials were a little bit greedy for ink, but in fact, it sounds good to say that the government and businessmen colluded, and this is almost becoming a family. Those salt merchants and officials are colluding, it is extremely impolite Digging the corner of the imperial court.If it's just these things, Lin Ruhai has nothing to be afraid of. It's not a problem for him to overwhelm these people no matter in terms of identity or other aspects. After all, the Lin family can be regarded as a family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Jia family was one of the four major families in Jinling back then. one.

It's a pity that things will never go as he thought. The Zhen family's power in the south of the Yangtze River shocked him. What the Zhen family represented, he couldn't be more clear in his heart. It was the noble concubine and Zhongshun king.The Empress Dowager has already gone, and the Dowager Concubine is not as good as before, but the Empress Dowager favors the youngest son, and to the King Zhongshun, that is simply good from the bottom of his heart. Compared with him, the Empress Dowager is almost nothing. People hurt children too.

With the support of the Supreme Emperor back then, King Zhongshun has vigorously developed the power in his hands. Maybe the people in the capital should pay more attention to avoid offending the emperor's eyes. But you're welcome.Lin Ruhai thought about it for a while, but still bit the bullet and passed what he had learned to the capital and sent it to the emperor, but he still couldn't help sighing in his heart, "What a mess!"

How could the emperor be happy when he saw it?If Lin Ruhai is just endless sorrow, the emperor is Hong Guoguo's anger, poaching my corner, do you want to be the emperor?Are you trying to usurp the throne?It's a pity that no matter how dissatisfied he is, he still wants to treat King Zhongshun better on the surface. The connection between the Zhen family and the four major families in Jinling is too close. The noble concubine favored by the late emperor.

Not to mention, over the years, the connection between the Zhen family and the four kings and eight princes has been lost. Except that the Rongning Second Mansion is quieter now, the rest of the mansion can still be tossing vigorously!

Although he was furious, sometimes even the emperor had to bear it. Jia Lian's idea of ​​centralizing imperial power was actually a little different. The current emperor was not as capable of controlling life and death as he thought. At least, he hasn't mastered all of them yet.Otherwise, the emperor would have beheaded King Zhongshun long ago, so why would he keep him tossing around by his side, ruining his mood.The imperial concubine would not still be treated so well now, and the emperor also wished she could be thrown into the cold palace directly.

"Master, is there anything troublesome about coming in?" Unlike Xu Hui who still needs to make preparations, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai are an old couple after all, so it's very simple to ask anything directly.

Lin Ruhai is well aware of Jia Min's intelligence, but this intelligence is only a mere literary flair after all, and it is mediocre when it comes to political affairs. What's more, her health is not good, and Lin Ruhai is always reluctant to let his wife worry about it.

Hearing her question, he said with relief, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I just arrived in Yangzhou and I have encountered a lot." Daiyu was already five years old, and he thought in his heart that he would choose a husband to teach this daughter. , just took this topic to divert Jia Min's attention, "Daiyu is getting older, I thought in my heart that I should choose a husband with her and teach her carefully, what does Madam think?"

Jia Min also knew that he couldn't help much in political affairs. Hearing what Lin Ruhai said, he nodded and said, "Master is right. Daiyu should really go to school. Is it too much to just find a husband just for her?" gone?"

Lin Ruhai waved his hand, "How can we pass? Daiyu is our only daughter. I'm only worried that I'm not treating her well. Why is there such a thing as 'passing'?"

Jia Min was very happy to hear that Lin Ruhai loves her daughter. The only regret in her life is that she only had one daughter, and her body was useless, so she couldn't give birth to a son. , I was extremely satisfied, and said, "Since the master thinks so, then I have to choose a good husband for Yu'er."

"Don't worry, Yu'er won't be wronged." Lin Ruhai said with a smile. No matter how hard the daily office work is, when he returns home to talk to his wife and sees his daughter's smile, he also feels more motivated. It is a haven of rest.

Jia Lian suddenly thought of something, and hastily put down the tea in his hand, "It's broken, it's broken, I actually forgot one thing."

Seeing his eagerness, Xu Hui couldn't help worrying about him, "What is it that makes the second master so anxious?"

Of course Jia Lian couldn't say it, but just said with a smile, "I thought I hadn't told Uncle Lin about one thing, so I was almost delayed."

What he thought of was none other than Lin Daiyu's husband, Jia Yucun who also had the same surname and stabbed their family in the end.If Lin Ruhai recommended him, it would be related to him no matter what. If something really happened in the future, it would be unclear or unclear.

Thinking of what kind of person Jia Yucun was, Jia Lian felt even more disgusted. He was a real villain wearing a hypocrite skin. leather.What's more, he was also worried that if Lin Ruhai had already met Jia Yucun but never recommended him, with Jia Yucun's narrow-mindedness, how would he hold grudges?If he is given a chance to make a fortune in the future, what he will do may be unexpected.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian was even more anxious to give up, but how to talk to Lin Ruhai is also a big deal. He has never seen anyone in Jia Yucun. If he wrote a letter specifically to mention this person, Lin Ruhai would definitely know. If you say you have to but don't believe him, it will cause some trouble.

Jia Lian struggled for a while, but decided to tell Lin Ruhai about Zhen Yinglian's story as a story. On the surface, he reminded Lin Ruhai to be careful of Daiyu's comfort, and also seemed that he was a good cousin who cared about his sister. A hypocrite who looks righteous and awe-inspiring.

Although Jia Lian had never seen what Jia Yucun looked like, he still had some impressions. It had a dignified appearance, which looked like the face of an upright gentleman, but in his heart, he was worse than those real villains. It's much darker, even if it benefits him, he can bite back, that's a mad dog that knows how to bite people by nature.

When Lin Ruhai started to open Jia Lian's letter, he felt that he was really worried too much. How could their daughters be like those from small households, with only one slave looking at their daughters? They were a group of mothers and maids. They are all there, they are reluctant to let their daughter go out casually.For this reason, I even joked with Jia Min, "Look at Lian'er, she is really too careful now, and she even sent a letter when she heard someone say such a thing, worrying about our family Daiyu also encountered such a situation!"

After hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Jia Min kept what Jia Lian said in her heart. Lin Daiyu is her life now, and she will never let go of the slightest thing that will hurt Lin Daiyu, even if it is seen by other people. Come, it is absolutely impossible.

"Lian'er is also concerned about Daiyu, so don't say that." Jia Min excused her nephew. In her opinion, Jia Lian's performance in this matter is really good. This is the true love for Lin Daiyu. The cousin's performance, she thought in her heart that even if something happened in the future, Jia Lian would take good care of her children.

Hearing what his wife said, Lin Ruhai could only smile and said, "Lian'er's thoughts are indeed correct, but this matter has passed a little bit, how could Daiyu go out casually?"

Jia Min immediately retorted, "Who said that Lian'er is only worried about Dan and worry? Isn't it a reminder to you not to trust those serious-looking hypocrites?"

When Lin Ruhai heard these words, she still felt that Jia Min was really trying to make excuses, but considering that Jia Lian was her nephew, it was understandable for her to care, so she didn't say anything else.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that within a few days after receiving Jia Lian's letter, he met a person who was very similar in appearance to what Jia Lian said, and it was naturally Jia Yucun.

Jia Yucun thought that he was very talented, and being a little teacher for a girl was a waste of talent, but now that he was cash-strapped, he wanted to take advantage of Lin Ruhai's opportunity to find a family background. I think something is wrong.

But for some reason, Lin Ruhai always looked at Jia Yucun and felt that there was something wrong with this person, so he smiled and evaded, "The little girl is quite unwell these days. I thought to myself, I don't want her to study too hard. Learn a few words with the wife at home, don't be blind."

When Jia Yucun felt the cold and was really unwell, although Lin Ruhai never asked him to be Lin Daiyu's husband, he still sent medicinal materials and gold and silver there. , but for the sake of money, nothing has been shown.

On Lin Ruhai's side, it is true that Lin Daiyu is no longer thinking about making Lin Daiyu study too hard. Jia Min's health is really not good these days. , it must be even more difficult. She has been in poor health since she was a child, and she has only recovered after careful maintenance. If it consumes new energy because of this, I am afraid it will be even more worrying.What's more, Lin Daiyu is smart, so even if she asks her husband to study later, there will be no problem.
