Reform from Jia She

It was New Year's Eve again, this year because Jia Min was pregnant, all the New Year's affairs were handed over to her daughter-in-law Sheng Qixuan, and Jia Min did not interfere.

Although Sheng Qixuan is young, she handles things in style and is not messy at all.

In the past six months, the general affairs of the mansion have been handed over to her, and they are well organized, never letting Jia Min worry about it.

If Sheng Qixuan can do well this New Year's Eve, Jia Min plans to completely hand over the general affairs of the house to his daughter-in-law.

Because Jia Min was pregnant, Lin Ruhai would accompany Jia Min when he was free.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed smoothly, Jia Min decided to hand over the general affairs of the mansion to Sheng Qixuan, and called all the servants of the Lin family to the main hall to beat them up. Will intercede.

After formally delegating the power of common affairs to his daughter-in-law Sheng Qixuan, Jia Min completely ignored the big and small affairs of the house, raised her baby with peace of mind all day long, and occasionally read scripts, living a very leisurely life.

Until the afternoon of February [-]th, Jia Min was about to take a rest for a while, but he didn't want to start it suddenly.

Although it was sudden, Jia Min had given birth before, and the delivery room of Wen Po in the mansion had already been arranged, so it was not chaotic. Jia Min even had the strength to order people not to go to the yamen of the household department to disturb Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai is now the servant of the third-rank household department, and has won the trust of the emperor, and the burden on her shoulders is also heavy. Her pregnancy looks very good, so there is really no need to alarm Lin Ruhai.

The master of the family is not around, so naturally he has to obey the orders of the mistress of the house. Even so, Liu Cong, the chief executive of the mansion, went to wait outside the yamen of the household department in person. Tell Lin Ruhai that this will neither offend the mistress nor be scolded by the master.

Therefore, as soon as Lin Ruhai came out of the yamen, he saw Liu Cong, heard Liu Cong's report, and immediately boarded the carriage and returned home.

When Lin Ruhai returned to the house, Jia Min had successfully given birth, and it was indeed a daughter as Lin Ruhai said.

When Lin Ruhai approached the main courtyard, just in time for Mrs. Wen to come out to announce the good news, he felt a sense of dust settled in his heart.

Lin Ruhai named this daughter Lin Qi, Qi, and Meiyu, and her nickname was Daiyu.

"My younger sister was born on February [-]th. It's really a good day. February [-]th is Baihua's birthday." Lin Zhang looked at his younger sister who was sleeping soundly in his father's arms.

Lin Ruhai smiled when she heard the words, "Perhaps your sister is really someone with a background, I don't know."

That's what I said, but in fact Lin Ruhai didn't take it seriously. How could there be so many children with a history in this world.

"If my younger sister came down to earth as a fairy, it might bring good luck to my Lin family. Isn't elder brother going to take part in the examination? Maybe he can get the first place in high school." Lin Zhang said with a smile.

He was clearly joking. His elder brother has the talent of the champion. As we all know, he heard that his elder brother is going to take part in the examination. The candidates in this class all said that the champion will be his elder brother Lin Wei.

So it really has nothing to do with whether his sister is a fairy or not.

Lin Ruhai scolded with a smile, telling him to read more serious books and less scripts, so that being fairies and fairies all day will not make people laugh.

The next month's examination results were released, and Lin Weiruo really passed the Huiyuan examination without any suspense. The palace examination was scheduled for the first day of April.

As soon as the messenger who announced the good news left, Lin Wei smiled and said, "It seems that my sister really brought me good luck."

He is young, even if he is talented and capable, there is no way to guarantee that he will be the first in the exam. Although he has this confidence, sometimes, if you are unlucky and meet an examiner who doesn't agree with the three views, you can only admit it. .

Lin Ruhai just laughed when he heard the words, and didn't take it seriously.

When it came to the day of the palace examination, Lin Wei was handpicked as the No. [-] scholar, and the Lin family's father and son were both No. [-] scholars. This honor is not something everyone has.

After Lin Wei entered the Hanlin Academy, he was not excluded. Although he also came from a noble family, the Lin family was a scholarly family, which was different from the Jia family. Husband, if Jia Yan and Jia Yuan were still alive, the situation would be different, but now the Jia family has fallen, and Jia She, the raider, is a womanizer who eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles. Rongguo Mansion was still Rongguo Mansion when his father was alive. However, after Jia Daishan left, although the Rongguo Mansion still had a plaque inscribed on the Rongguo Mansion, the inside of it was no longer true to its name.

If it weren't for a Jinshi Jia Zheng who supported the door, the Jia family would not know what it was like.

The most amusing thing is that Jia Jing in Ningguo Mansion who passed the Jinshi examination, but resigned and went to a Taoist temple in the suburbs of Beijing to cultivate immortals. Knowing that he couldn't get along in the Hanlin Academy, did he resign and go to the Taoist temple?

Leaving aside the situation of the Jia family, it has little to do with the Lin family.

After Lin Wei became the number one scholar in high school, the Lin family became even more powerful than before. The eldest wife of the Wang family still wanted to gain a relationship with Jia Min and marry her daughter Wang Xifeng to Lin Zhang. How could Jia Min agree?

Although Lin Zhang loves to play, he is not bad at learning. The daughter of the Wang family is illiterate, so it is impossible for her to let her son marry Wang Xifeng. It's verbal, but it's hard to go back on it. Wang Xifeng is a good girl. If she wants to marry her, it's the same if she marries into the Jia family. Her natal nephew, Jia Lian, is fifteen this year, and Wang Xifeng happens to be two years old. Regardless of their appearance or family status, the two are well matched.

The eldest wife of the Wang family didn't understand the hidden meaning in Jia Min's words. She didn't become suspicious when she heard that Lin Zhang had already decided on a marriage. After all, it is not uncommon for Lin Zhang to be engaged so early for a family like the Lin family. matter.

He couldn't marry the Lin family, and the wife of the Wang family didn't bother her. Hearing that Jia Min was a matchmaker and wanted to match Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, the wife of the Wang family thanked Jia Min happily.

In terms of talent and ability, Jia Lian is naturally far inferior to the two brothers of the Lin family, but Jia Lian is not stupid. His eldest brother, Jia Hu, has a previous record. Participating in the Tongsheng Examination, both of them were on the list. Jiazhu County Examination, Government Examination, and Academy Examination were all top places. Although Jia Lian's ranking was not high, they were all in the top ten.

It is unknown if the Jia family can rise again in Jia Hu's generation. Even if Jia Lian is not as good as his eldest brother and cousin, he is not bad.

After Mrs. Wang's family left, Jia Min thought to himself, it seemed that when the master came back, he had to discuss Zhang'er's marriage, and he couldn't delay any longer.

Lin Ruhai went back to the government office and went to see Jia Min, but he found out from Jia Min that Mrs. Wang's wish to marry her was that Jia Min had already refused.

"Wei'er's high school champion, I'm afraid Zhang'er's marriage should be decided earlier, otherwise there may be changes." The Lin family is now under the management of Lin Ruhai, actually stronger than when Lin Yan was alive, but no matter what, the power This kind of thing is always as high as a mountain.

Lin Ruhai pondered, "Is there any suitable candidate for Madam?"

"What I mean is to ask Zhang'er first to see if he is interested. If there is, we can go directly to discuss with others and settle the marriage as soon as possible. If not, we should make plans early." Jia Min said .

Lin Ruhai nodded, "Madam can figure it out."

"Then I'll ask Zhang'er later."

Lin Ruhai nodded.

The next day, Jia Min called Lin Zhang to ask a question. She thought it was just a formality, and when Lin Zhang answered no, she could directly arrange a flower banquet, pick a few people who were eye-catching, and then ask Lin Zhang if he liked it.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhang actually answered that he had a favorite girl. Jia Min said in shock, "Do you have a favorite girl? Which family's girl?"

"Master Liu's youngest daughter, Auntie, you have seen her before."

Jia Min had indeed seen the youngest daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Industry, and she was deeply impressed, her face turned dark immediately, "Your favorite girl is her?"

Jia Min wished she had never asked this question.

Liu Yufei, the first daughter of Mr. Liu, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, is a very pretty girl, born in the same year as Wang Xifeng, and slightly older than Wang Xifeng by three or four months.

This Liu Yufei sounds like a very intelligent and beautiful lady from a great family, but in fact, this girl has nothing to do with a lady from a great family at all.

In the entire capital, no one knew of Liu Yufei's glorious deeds. The most sensational thing was that at the end of November last year, this little girl set fire to the Chunyi Building.

Chunyilou is a well-known brothel in the capital.

When Jia Min first heard about this incident, she didn't take it seriously. She never thought that this girl could have anything to do with her, but after all the calculations, she never expected her son to like this Liu Yufei.

"Aniang, I know you have heard some gossip about Ms. Liu, and you don't have a good impression of her." Seeing Jia Min's expression, Lin Zhang knew what Jia Min was thinking, scratched his head, and sighed, "Actually, I didn't have a good impression of her at first because of this incident, but in the first month of this year, I bumped into her on the day of the Lantern Festival. She was catching a kidnapper at the time. With contact, I don't think she is as bad as the rumors say, if you know her, you will also like her."

Jia Min took a deep breath, frowned slightly, and stared at Lin Zhang without speaking.

Lin Zhang didn't say anything more, he just looked at Jia Min without squinting.

The mother and son looked at each other for a moment, Jia Min's expression softened slightly, "Are you telling the truth?"

"of course it's true."

Jia Min nodded and asked, "I just want to ask one thing, did she burn the Chunyi Building?"

Lin Zhang paused, then nodded, "She burned it." Then, he said, "But it was all accidental."

"What accident?"

When Jia Min first heard Lin Zhang say that the person he likes is Liu Yufei, he was indeed a little annoyed, and even almost scolded him, but Lin Zhang was too discerning, and when he saw her expression was wrong, he opened his mouth to explain. After Zhang explained, she also calmed down, thinking that there might be some misunderstanding, and she was willing to trust her son.

Lin Zhang told the truth about the burning of the Chunyi Tower, and Liu Yufei really couldn't be blamed for it.

In places like brothels, there are actually more or less black industrial chains. Many women in brothels are forced into prostitution. In mid-November last year, Liu Yufei went to the temple to offer incense and rescued a girl on the way home. This girl escaped from Chunyi Building. Liu Yufei took the girl back. After learning that Chunyi Building forced her into prostitution, she was so angry that she told her father about it, but her father told her not to meddle in her own business. It's out of her control.
