[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

To be honest, Mother Jia's feelings for this girl Xue Baochai are very complicated.

If Xue Baochai's family background can be better, even if her father is only a petty official, it doesn't matter.If that was the case, then after Mother Jia expressed to Lin Ruhai that she wanted to get married and was rejected, she would definitely include Xue Baochai in the list of candidates without hesitation.

But Xue Baochai's family background is a drawback that Jia's mother cannot ignore!

Mrs. Wang only puts her eyes on Xue's money every day.That's right, the old lady has to admit that the Xue family is indeed rich.Although the current property of the Xue family has gone downhill compared to when Master Xue was here in the early years, it can't stand the solid foundation of the Xue family. It is enough to feed their whole family for two or three lifetimes.

Speaking of which, the Xue family and Mrs. Wang are indeed very close here.Mrs. Wang obviously likes Baochai more than Jiamu likes Daiyu.This can be seen from the fact that Baochai was lifted over Sanchun overtly and secretly, and then pushed out to be a housekeeper.Mrs. Wang is already planning to set up a ring with the old lady to sing an opera!

But who is Jia Mu?That is, when he was in the boudoir of the historian, Mrs. Jia was not a fuel-efficient lamp.After marrying into the Jia family, the Jia family who was born as a general has a lot more rules than ordinary families.What bothered Mother Jia the most was that parents and children cannot be raised by themselves!After Jia She was born, the old lady of the Jia family took her away.It is said that he wants to be hugged and raised by his side, for the sake of the child's future and future.But who will understand her mood as a mother?

After finally waiting for the old lady of Jia's family to leave, she finally didn't have to be a human being tremblingly, and she could let the new daughter-in-law set the rules in front of her, and enjoy the blessing of being an old lady.

But the chess is short.Although she was not very affectionate with the boss, it was also the meat that fell from her body. There is no mother who does not feel sorry for her son.Even if this son was not raised by him since he was a child, he was not close to him.But when the old lady married Jia She, she had a good fight with the old lady of the Jia family.

In the end, he still didn't win the old lady, Jia She married the old lady of the Jia family - the Zhang family arranged for him by his own grandmother!Everyone is a lady, well-managed the family, filial to her in-laws, and gentle with her subordinates.It is true that it is everyone's demeanor to be seen as soon as you enter the door. It has not been long since you entered the door, and you have already won the praise of everyone.

Even Jia Zheng back then was full of praise for his sister-in-law.

Needless to say, Mother Jia was also satisfied with this daughter-in-law at first.This daughter-in-law is the old lady of the Jia family——Jia She's own grandparents picked out such a suitable candidate from family to family.Personality, appearance and conduct are all very good.But there is one thing, the old lady of the Jia family went there not long after Jia She got married, the family was busy with this and that, and the funeral and filial piety were all together, so who is busy? ——Don’t you want Mrs. Zhang to come!

But in this way, Mrs. Zhang will suffer.His body, which was not very strong, was so exhausted because of the sick housekeeper, that he even lost his three-month-old child in his womb.The embarrassment in Jia's mother's heart, a good grandson is gone.Although she has not been very close to the elders, but Jia Zheng is not yet old enough to marry a wife, so the whole family expects Jia She to have a baby here first!

As a result, Mrs. Zhang was overworked and lost a child just like that.

Jia's mother was unhappy, and she didn't even look very good towards Da Fang.For a whole year, Mrs. Zhang didn't get a look or a compliment from the old lady for serving tea and water.When it was time for Jia Zheng to get married, the old lady of the Jia family was long gone, and even the old Duke was only raised in the Lixiang Courtyard, and no one could control Jia Mu anymore.

So Jia's mother chose again and again, and chose the eldest daughter of the Jinling royal family.After all, the four major families are the roots that were twisted together by the ancestors!Although she also wanted to bring Jia's family and Shi's family closer together, she had no choice but to do so. There were three males in her natal family's nephews, and there was no daughter from the same family at all.There are girls born from concubines, but she doesn't care too much!

After Mrs. Wang got married, within two years Jia Min also went out of the family. She was married to Tanhua of the dynasty, Gusu Lin's family, the only son of Lord Lin's name Ruhai.That was a well-told marriage in the whole city, the handsome man and the beautiful woman were well matched.Lord Lin liked the prosperity of their Jia family's heirs, and she also valued the title of Lord Lin's family, a scholarly family.

At that time, Mother Jia was still laughing at the Wang family in her heart, that a good-natured second daughter married to the Xue family in Jinling.Emperor Shang Huang Shang, no matter how beautiful it is, it still occupies the word "business".The three generations of descendants of the family cannot take the road of imperial examinations. If there is no such business road in the future, how can they gain a foothold!

Sure enough, as Mother Jia expected, the four major families have experienced a lot of ups and downs in these years.If it wasn't for the fact that the four major families were connected and related, they would cling to each other and form a group.Maybe one day they will be beaten to the ground by the higher political waves.

It's not like she didn't worry about Jia Min marrying Lin Ruhai.It's just that the Lin family has always had few heirs, so she originally thought that if Min'er could add incense to the Lin family, it would be regarded as fulfilling the Lin family's wish.Who would have thought that Jia Min could not give Lin Ruhai a son and a half after being married for more than a few years.In the first few years, the wife hadn't given birth to a child, so those concubines naturally couldn't.But after waiting for several years, Jia Min's stomach didn't move, so he panicked now.The aunt in the backyard also started to jump up and down, using all kinds of unscrupulous methods on Lin Ruhai.

But there was no movement!

Mother Jia's worries were somewhat diluted.The Lin family has not many descendants, and they have always been descended from the same strain.This can't be blamed on Jia Min.But everyone had been thinking about it for several years, but Lin Ruhai suddenly adopted a child from the clan under Jia Min's name.What surprised Mother Jia even more was that Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were sincerely kind to the child.Even after Jia Min finally gave birth to Daiyu and Lin Lan, Lin Ze was still as good as before.

Mother Jia disliked Lin Ze. After all, the child had no blood relationship with her at all. To put it bluntly, he was just a stranger.The only ones she really loved were Baoyu and Daiyu.

However, it was this child who she didn't like to see, who ruthlessly dumped the Jia family's face.

Mother Jia sighed, looking at the young man sitting on the chair drinking tea with a faint smile, the wrinkles between her brows deepened a little. "I should have talked to your master about this matter, but your master is ill and can't see you. So I ask you to bring a sentence back. Besides, you can't be considered too young. Some things are still It’s better to plan ahead.”

Jia's mother's plan was very good. Although Lin Ruhai calmly declined her pleading for Baoyu, but seeing Mrs. Wang's attitude towards Baochai, she had other ideas.

To be honest, Mother Jia really couldn't hate Baochai.

After all, Xue Baochai is Mrs. Wang's niece and aunt, and the two aunts and sisters are not far apart in appearance.What's more, Yuan Chun was brought by Jia's mother since she was a child, and she found the foster mother in the palace to raise her personally.That's the true tolerance of everyone, what a lady from a famous family should have, Yuanchun has it all!Just such a granddaughter whom Jia's mother placed high hopes on, Jia's mother spent all her money in cultivating it.It is hoped that Yuanchun can bring supreme glory to the family one day.

Yuan Chun really lived up to expectations and slowly gained a firm foothold in the palace.Regarding the fact that the eldest son, Jia She, copied the private homes of the people around Mrs. Wang, Jia's mother just turned a blind eye. After all, the elders also said something. To whom to make!So Jia's mother thought of Jia Amnesty and didn't say much.

Now about the Qin family... The old lady sighed lightly in her heart.Qin Keqing is a good-natured girl, but it's a pity that her identity is so sensitive.Seeing that Yuan Chun has become the nobleman of the old sage, if someone were to expose Qin Keqing's identity, it would be a disaster for his family to be confiscated!So Mother Jia brought a message to Yuan Chun, and Yuan Chun was also very clever, and quietly passed the message to the emperor.This is why Yuan Chun was suddenly promoted to the concubine position not long after Qin's death.

But, so what!

The orphan girl who lost the old prince, but Yuan Chun may not be so comfortable in the palace.Even though she was a virtuous concubine, the eunuch Xia in the palace always sent word about how Yuanchun was favored.The whole family heard this, and no one was unhappy.But Mother Jia clearly realized that no matter how beautiful Yuanchun was, it was only for a while.After all, Yuan Chun is the old saint's concubine, not the emperor's!

The way to make a woman stand in a favorable position in the harem, in addition to the woman's own means and capital, must also have the help of her natal relatives.Jiamu opened her eyes and saw that Baoyu was still young and didn't like reading. It was just a time when she was naughty and naughty. How could she help Yuanchun.Although the eldest son became a prince, he has made some big moves in the past two years, but he is a person who doesn't want to take care of things, and Kuang Yuanchun is not his biological son, so he is naturally separated.The second son is said to be the mother's biological father, but he hasn't moved a bit for so many years since he stayed with the man named Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry.

Mrs. Jia didn't want to think of her son as nothing, she just complained a little in her heart that her second son was underappreciated.Instead, he always vents his grievances on the elder son. In the final analysis, it is all because of the difference between one who was raised by him and the other who was not.There is a difference between intimacy and distance!

There is also the Xue family, the imperial merchants, what's the use.Even though his family is extremely wealthy, in Jinling it is said that people should respect him three points, but in the capital, it does not make sense at all.People in the capital are either rich or expensive.They are all at the feet of the emperor, who is worse than the other!Let's just talk about those dudes who fight chickens and run dogs on the street, some of them have a higher family background than Hachiko!

Let's talk about Jia's mother's family.Since Shi Xiangyun's Lao Tzu passed away, the historian's second child took the title, and the third child earned his merits by fighting the enemy with his force.I don't know how many families were envied by a double lord back then, but in Jia's mother's view, even though they were a double lord, the power in the hands of the two nephews of her natal family may not be that great.After all, since the old sage abdicated, this historian has not been very prominent.In this court, I have never seen Jinshang mentioning historians, so it can be seen that Jinshang has no intention of reusing these old officials.

Mother Jia thought for a long time before she realized that apart from one Wang family, that would be considered the best of the four big families.Just looking at Wang Ziteng, one knows that the Wang family is gradually becoming the leader of the four major families.After all, among the four major families, Wang Ziteng was the only one who was given some serious duties in the eyes of the emperor.He was appointed as the governor of the Beijing camp first, and then appointed the governor of the nine provinces. The official rank was promoted again and again, which also gave Mrs. Wang the capital to speak up straight in the mansion.

It's not that Jia's mother never thought of looking for Wang Ziteng, but Yuan Chun just called him uncle after all.The second son and the Wang family did not have a close relationship, and even if the second wife, Mrs. Wang, agreed to get along, it might not be possible for the prince to be willing to help.Moreover, what worries Jia's mother the most is that Wang Ziteng is now far away from the capital, and no matter what happens in the future, he will not be able to quench his near thirst.

So, after looking around, Mother Jia still set her sights on the Lin family.

The Lin family was a prince of five generations, a scholarly family.Lin Ruhai is the eldest son of Lin Jue, who was also a senior high school student. He served as the doctor of Lantai Temple and then the inspector of salt, in charge of the Lianghuai salt department.Although he has retreated now, Lin Ruhai is still Jane's figure in the emperor's heart.Just looking at him now that he has joined the cabinet and the Ministry of Officials, we can tell a thing or two!

Mother Jia naturally wanted to grab the tree of the Lin family, but Lin Ruhai seemed to have foreseen her thoughts, and repeatedly went to invite her, but said that she was not there or that she was ill.Mother Jia had no choice but to ask Jia Lian to invite Daiyu and Lin Ze over again.Since Lin Ruhai can't come over this matter, it's the same as talking to Lin Ze.

Lin Ze has been sitting here for quite a while. He is a very patient person. Anyway, only Mother Jia is uncomfortable here.He sipped the tea in his hand with peace of mind, seeing Jiamu's hesitant to speak, he felt very happy.

"If you want me to tell you, you need to make up your own mind on this matter." Mother Jia looked at Lin Ze and didn't answer or speak, and she couldn't help feeling anxious.It's just that there is no way to say this to a child.I had no choice but to think twice, and said to Lin Ze: "Your master is not in good health, so I asked Lian'er to take the post from our house and invite the imperial doctor to have a look, so don't delay your health."

Lin Ze smiled and said, "Thank you, old lady, for your care. It's just that the master has already seen the doctor, and I just said that it will be good to rest for a month." As he spoke, he looked at Jia Mu's face getting worse and worse, but he was very happy in his heart. , only smiled and said: "It's all the old lady's concern. Although the master is a little sick, he seems to be fine on weekdays."

When Lin Ze said this so softly, Jia's mother felt very uncomfortable.The day of visiting relatives in Yuanchun is coming soon, and the whole family does not know how happy they are for this matter, but only after they are happy can they think, where does the money for the construction of the visiting relatives villa come from!It's not that Jia's mother has never thought about the property accumulated by the Lin family ancestors.It's just that Jia Min passed away a few years ago, and Lin Ruhai's annual gift was only based on the Jia family's return gift, which made Mrs. Wang angry several times.It's not like opening your mouth any more.Another one, when the three brothers and sisters of the Lin family lived in the Jia family, the Jia family might not be very polite to the three children of the Lin family. This is one of the reasons why Jia's mother was embarrassed to speak.

Seeing that Mother Jia didn't have anything to say, Lin Ze smiled and said, "Old lady, I've been sitting here for half a day. Seeing that it's getting late, I won't sit any longer." A cup of tea has already been refilled After two cups, the taste of the tea has been diluted. Lin Ze didn't want to be wronged to see Jia Mu faltering here, so he stood up with a smile on his face and was about to leave.

Jia's mother hurriedly said, "Let your second cousin Lian take you back." Then, before Lin Ze could speak, he ordered someone to find Jia Lian.

Seeing that Jia's mother seemed to have something to say to Jia Lian, Lin Ze frowned slightly, but didn't take it seriously.Anyway, what Jia Mu wanted to say, she didn't see a word for a long time.Although he had some brows in his heart, he didn't want to say anything.These things are all wishful thinking by Jia's mother, and they may not be willing.

When Jia Lian sent Lin Ze back, he said a few words in the carriage.

Jia Lian was depressed when he thought of what the old lady had said.Cousin Lin saw how old he was, so he rushed to tell others about the marriage. He didn't talk about discussing this kind of thing with Uncle Lin, but he had to tell Lin Ze clearly!Jia Lian was very depressed, but still had a smile on his face.After thinking for a long time, he just smiled and said, "Cousin Lin's family now has one family and two Tanhuas. Maybe there will be another Tanhualang in the future."

Lin Ze glanced at Jia Lian with a smile, he was such a clever second master Lian.This is a good start.Everyone loves to hear good things, and Lin Ze is not an idiot. If someone compliments him so much and praises him as his father and son, Lin Ze will not be modest, so he smiled and said: "The auspicious words of Cheng Lian's second cousin, I will I also hope that Lan'er will go to high school one day. It's a pity that he is too young, otherwise I would have to urge him to study."

This is so hypocritical!

Jia Lian thought in his heart that Lin Lan had already started to read and practice calligraphy when he lived in Jia's mansion. Isn't it all taught by the brothers and sisters of the Lin family!What's more, it was even more beneficial to have Jia Huan accompany him to read and write together.Just looking at Jia Huan's beautiful handwriting, one can imagine Lin Lan's.

Lin Ze didn't care much about these things, he just listened to Jia Lian's words and was so humble.

Jia Lian raised the curtain of the car to glance at the street scene, rubbed his hands together, and then said with a smile: "Cousin Lin, don't blame my cousin for being reckless. I have something to ask you here!"

Lin Ze laughed and said, "Second Cousin Lian has something to say, just talk it out, we two still pay attention to these things!" Although he said this, he thought in his heart that what should come should come, and he would not be so stupid as to think that Jia Mother will give up the little calculation in her heart.

Sure enough, Jia Lian hesitated for a while, and then asked in a low voice: "Cousin Lin, what do you think of the girl from the Xue family?"

A girl from the Xue family?Xue Baochai!Lin Ze really wanted to say, is it okay that he and Xue Baochai are not familiar at all?But seeing Jia Lian's expression, Lin Ze swallowed the words silently.He just smiled and said, "How do you say that? I'm a foreigner, but I'm a female family member. How can I meet you? Lian's second cousin should be cautious. If you say this, I don't care. Don't let people think that the Xue family What's the matter with the girl." Although Xue Baochai's boudoir reputation has nothing to do with him, you can tell by watching the Xue family rushing to stick to the Jia family, this Xue family is not so pure.

But Lin Ze was unwilling to exchange his reputation for Xue Baochai.He is innocent, don't compare him to Jia Baoyu, the incarnate demon king who hangs out with his sisters all day long.

When Jia Lian heard it, he already understood most of it.It seems that Cousin Lin doesn't care much about the girl from the Xue family, so what will he say about the old lady's next words!Jia Lian has a headache, and Cousin Lin doesn't seem like a person who cares about this matter. If you speak directly, will Cousin Lin mistakenly think that you have some bad motives?

Lin Ze didn't care about Jia Lian, he just stretched out his hand to look at the curtain of the car, and suddenly said, "Stop the car, I have something to do here." As soon as the car stopped, Lin Ze had already stepped on the small stool.Looking back at Jia Lian's slightly widened eyes in surprise, Lin Ze smiled and said, "Second Cousin Lian, you go back first, I still have some things to do."

When it comes to this point, Jia Lian can't help it.He was thinking of reporting a letter to Uncle Lin, but Lin Ze didn't even intend to let him send it home.Melancholy, Jia Lian returned to the car dejectedly. He could already imagine that the old lady's expression would not be very good after he went back.

Lin Ze stood in place and watched the carriage drive out of sight, then turned around and walked around the alley to a mansion.

"Hello, Uncle Housekeeper." Lin Ze's smiling face was very pleasing, and even Manager Gao greeted this little guest who often came to visit with a smile on his face.

Lin Ze was greeted happily by Manager Gao. After walking a few steps, he saw Shui Rong stuffed a mouthful of snacks. Seeing him coming, he rushed over three steps at a time. "You're here, it's been a long time since I saw you. Oh, hey, what a Tanhualang!" As he spoke, he smirked and gave Lin Ze an elbow.

Lin Ze looked at his mouthful of crumbs in disgust, snorted, and said, "My lord is really a king of idleness, every day is as if I have nothing to do. I can see it everywhere."

Shui Rong smiled "hehe", stretched out his hand to stroke his sleeves, and said with an apologetic smile: "Then what, what happened last time, wasn't it all my concubine's idea, it's nothing to do with me!" Looking at Lin Ze's expression was still not very good, and Shui Rong leaned over to flatter him and said, "Well, whatever you want, as long as I can afford it, I'll give it to you!"

Lin Ze squinted at him, "Really?"

"Uh, it's the same!"

"Bah! Look at your ideas!"

He was scared back three steps by Lin Ze's vicious look, and when he looked again, Lin Ze had already entered the room.Shui Rong grieved silently, didn't he also have good intentions at the beginning, who would have thought that his mother's actions would be so fast.Without saying a word to the girl from the Lin family, he has to recognize the girl as a goddaughter, and it will take a while for anyone to let this matter go.

As soon as Lin Ze entered the room, he saw Shui Zhan writing something behind the desk, and after a second look, it seemed to be an excerpt.Sticking out his tongue with a smile, Lin Ze patted his chest and said, "Third brother, luckily I didn't see it. If I see the secret politicians or something, the emperor don't punish me anymore."

Shui Zhan smiled and closed the approved booklet, and then smiled at Lin Ze: "There is nothing you can't see."

Shui Rong, who came in a few steps behind Lin Ze, also smiled and said: "That is to say, you think everyone can come here! It doesn't matter if you see those who can't see people, anyway, the emperor doesn't care." I hate to punish you."

Shui Zhan's face changed when he said this, and Lin Ze also raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Oh? How do you know that the emperor will not punish me?"

"This... this..." After scratching his ears and cheeks for a long time, he couldn't figure out why, seeing Lin Ze's more meaningful smile, Shui Rong simply acted shamelessly. "That's because the emperor is kind!"

Blinking his eyes, Shui Rong said without any shyness: "Isn't your majesty the best person? I saw the secret book at that time, and the majesty was not angry at all. Oh, you are much more likable than me. I listen to Shui Zhan Speaking of which, didn't the emperor go to your house to see you? He also talked with you a lot, right? Ah, the emperor must like you very much!"

Shaking his shoulders, Lin Ze sneered and said, "With your talent, you should have pulled it out long ago."

Shui Rong didn't care, just smiled and wiped the crumbs off his lips, then turned his head and said to Lin Ze with a smile, "Why did I see that someone from the Jia family sent you here?"

Can you see this too?He is the carriage at the end of the alley, Prince Jing, your eyes are sharp enough!

Seeing Lin Ze like this, Shui Rong coughed softly, and said with a smile, "Then what, didn't I just go to buy chestnut cakes!" After finishing speaking, she blushed and said, "I was also thinking that you were coming, didn't you?" , I bought it for you to eat!"

Lin Ze smiled when he heard the words, turned his hands up and said, "Take a bite."

"What, what?"

Lin Ze bared his teeth: "Chestnut cake!"

"..." Shui Rong silently turned his head away, and hummed, "It's over."

"whispering sound!"

Lin Ze sat down on the chair and drank tea comfortably.After only taking a bite, Lin Ze shook his head and put it down.Shui Zhan glanced at him, saw that his brows were frowning, and said with a smile, "Is this tea not to your liking?" He was already planning to get someone to change his tea, it seemed that Lin Ze was already tired of this tea.

Lin Ze just shook his head and said, "Third brother's tea is excellent. I only had two cups at Jia's house. If I eat it now, my stomach will feel uncomfortable."

Shui Zhan said with a smile: "You don't like to go, don't you? Why are you so interested today, and you still had two cups of tea at his house?" As he said that, he had already handed over a plate of pea yellow.Seeing that Lin Ze reached out and took two yuan to eat, he hurriedly laughed softly: "Eat less, this food is cold in nature, if you eat too much, be careful and your stomach hurts. I will ask the kitchen to make more for you when you eat at night. food."

Lin Ze ate another piece of pea yellow that he picked up in his hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you, third brother." After saying that, he handed the plate of pea yellow in his hand to look at his own water solution.Seeing that Shui Rong took it, he smiled again: "Do you think I want to go to Jia's house? Isn't it that the old lady of Jia's house couldn't invite the master over there, so there was nothing I could do, so I had to ask Lian's second cousin Invited me to go. I thought what was the matter. After I went, the old lady didn’t say a word, and she was lost in thought. After fumbling for a long time, in the end, I still need the master to discuss it. Alas... let me be in vain suffer there."

Shui Zhan frowned and asked, "Why do you want to go, and you need to discuss it with Master Lin?"

When Lin Ze pouted and was about to say something, Shui Rong came over and laughed again: "Hey, I guess it's for that concubine in their palace!" Before Lin Ze and Shui Zhan could answer, he laughed again Said: "If you want me to say, it shouldn't be called a concubine. After all, there is a concubine Shen in the palace. That empress of the Jia family, it sounds nice to be the concubine Xiande. To put it bluntly , who knows what grade it is. I have never heard of such a title since ancient times, it is neither fish nor fowl."

Lin Ze also smiled and said, "Exactly. I heard that the title was given by the emperor himself?"

Shui Zhan also smiled and said: "Yes, the emperor said that he thought of the meritorious service of the old minister for the country, so he asked the old sage to give him the title of a virtuous concubine." After finishing speaking, he only reached out and wiped the embroidery on his clothes He said with a slight smile, "This title is probably because it wants to reward the virtue of the Jia family's empress."

It's just that it depends on whether others believe it or not!

Shui Rong and Lin Ze couldn't believe it the most, especially Shui Rong laughed and said: "The Jia family can produce a virtuous lady? Ha, let me tell you, their family doesn't know what they are thinking. Let's not Let’s talk about the virtuous concubine, let’s talk about their Jia’s family, a decent state mansion, who actually promoted a girl from a relative’s family to compare with all the girls in the family.”

Lin Ze raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "How did you know that! It's that Jia Baoyu who went to your house to talk about poetry and painting with you?"

Shui Rong sneered, and only said: "Could it be that he is the only one who can say these unruly words? Which of their mothers-in-law can keep their words, there are so many gossipers. My mother and concubine only went to I went to Rongguo Mansion and told me when I came back. Fortunately, Miss Lin left the mansion earlier. She looked at the three girls in the mansion and a girl from a relative's family, but none of them could catch her eyes. .”

Lin Ze smiled and said, "This has nothing to do with you, it's something I should worry about."

Shui Rong asked strangely again: "Why do you say that? What does it have to do with you!"

Lin Ze laughed and said, "You don't know, why did the old lady of the Jia family invite me over? Although she couldn't say anything else in a secret way, she talked about him Yes, but I can guess a little or two. She must be trying to push the girl from the Xue family to our Lin family, hey, I don’t know if you still look at her."

After finishing speaking, Shui Zhan's complexion sank instantly, and even Shui Rong's complexion was not very good-looking.

"Then Xue Baochai? The imperial merchant Xue's family is also worthy of your family's lintel?"

Lin Ze was a little surprised when he heard the water-melting voice, which was cold and not warm at all.This was the first time he heard Shui Rong speak in such a cold voice, so he just smiled and said, "This is all the wishful thinking of the old lady of Jia's family. I'm afraid that the old lady of Jia's family hasn't even visited the family's tone."

As he spoke, he laughed again: "In that mansion, the gossip about 'Golden Jade Love' spread, the old lady of the Jia family has always looked down on the Xue family's background, and always keeps her eyes on our family. Isn't it? I said, the Xue family's heart is a little bit more solid, they are being used as money bags by the Jia family all day long, and they are still happy."

Shui Zhan also sneered and said, "That's right, it's not all prosperity. Now that the Jia family is so powerful, don't you just want to embrace it!" As he said, he already held the cup tightly in his hand.Even though the expression on his face was always indifferent, there was already an endless chill in his eyes.

Shui Rong looked at his face and knew that he was extremely angry. Seeing that Lin Ze was only smiling quietly, he said with a smile: "Hey, it's morning and evening, let's eat first." After finishing speaking, he told Lin Ze He smiled and said, "Since I invited you to dinner, you go and tell the chef what delicious food you want to eat. I won't run the errand for you."

Lin Ze raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I'll go as I go. When the food comes, don't blame me for not giving you a bite." After that, he smiled and walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing that Lin Ze was gone, Shui Rong turned his head to Shui Zhan and said, "If you have anything to say, let's discuss it after he leaves anyway. I know you are upright, don't let Lin Ze see it, you have something to say."

Shui Zhan half closed his eyes, and after a while he said calmly, "I see."

The meal in the evening was indeed very rich.Lin Ze's favorite West Lake vinegar fish and cherry meat are also listed.Shui Rong watched him eat with satisfaction, and the chopsticks in his hand turned several times, but Lin Ze calmly separated them.Wanting to cry but without tears, he took several mouthfuls of rice, but Shui Zhan looked a little pitiful after all, so he took a piece of cherry meat and put it on the plate in front of Shui Rong.

Lin Ze watched with a smile on his side, after a meal, he was really satisfied.Shui Zhan and Shui Rong personally sent Lin Ze back.Lin Ze knew that neither Shui Zhan nor Shui Rong would stay in Shen's mansion overnight, so after sending him back, the carriage also sent Shui Rong back to the Beijing Palace, and then back to the palace.He didn't refuse at the moment, and just waited until the Lin Mansion smiled and squeezed Shui Rong for a word or two.

When the carriage gradually drove away from the Lin residence, Shui Rong smiled wryly and said: "Look at this good cousin, everyone said that the mother concubine recognized his sister as a goddaughter, and I didn't instigate him, so he took it easy on me. "After that, he hummed again, "You are the only one who is willing to pamper him and let him run on me."

Shui Zhan ignored his words, thinking about Lin Ze's previous words, he was unhappy.

Shui Rong looked at his face, and only smiled and said: "Why, thinking that the old lady of Jia's family promised her little cousin a kiss, you were shocked?" Then, he lazily leaned against the wall of the car, just She pursed her lips and sneered: "If the old lady of the Jia family really made an agreement with Mr. Lin about this matter, let alone that we don't agree, then Mr. Lin will be the first to disagree. Don't even think about it. What kind of family background. This merchant's daughter married back home, don't expect Lin Ze to be inferior."

It took a while for Shui Zhan to snort coldly: "Even if Mr. Lin agrees, this matter can't be done." As he said, a chill flashed in his eyes.

"You think father is so talkative? Although Lin Ze's identity cannot be mentioned now, we all know it in our hearts. The Jia family only regards him as an adopted child. Those who have no status and status can only rely on the Lin family to get up." of."

Shui Rong also smiled and said, "That's exactly the reason. Even if everyone agrees, the emperor can't agree! He knows better than us what kind of person Lin Ze is."

Shui Rong and Shui Zhan were right, Lin Ze was an untouchable wound on the emperor's heart.Even if Lin Ze was adopted by Lin Ruhai for Lin Ze's safety, the emperor and queen never forgot about it.The reason why Shui Zhan was sent to Jiangnan Weifu every few years was because Lin Ze was in the Lin family and wanted to inquire about it.Not to mention for Lin Ze, the emperor gave up his face and asked Shui Zhan to find Shen Yu with his handbook.

Although the emperor has not mentioned this for so many years, he really cares about Lin Ze in his heart.

The happiest candidate for Lin Ze High School is not Lin Ruhai or Shui Zhan, but the emperor!

Shui Zhan was also on the Golden Palace that day, not to mention that he was the son of the middle palace, so of course he stood at the forefront.Others may not see it, but he can see it clearly.When the emperor said: "Gusu Linze, bestow the name of Tanhua", the joy in his eyes and the corners of his mouth raised high all showed the joy in the emperor's heart.

So when the emperor heard about this, the furious reaction was completely within Shui Zhan's expectations.

"Absurd! Absurd!" The emperor said several absurd words, and he knew how angry he was. "A daughter of a merchant wants to marry the Lin family! It's ridiculous!"

"Zhan'er, you let Lin Qing enter the palace quickly, you must not agree to this matter!" As he said, he walked around a few steps irritably, and stretched out his hand to stop him, "No, no, no, since this matter is pending, I will We can't make it known to everyone. Otherwise, what if the Xue family uses excuses to rely on Ze'er!"

Shui Zhan's eyes flashed, and he took a few steps forward and said respectfully: "Father, my son has a word, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Zhan'er, do you have any ideas? Come and tell me!"

"Although Ze'er is young, if you can't guarantee that those individuals will tell him some messy marriage. Although he is a boy, but in the end, father and son can't bear him to be said so." Nodding, Shui Zhan smiled, "Father, from my son's point of view, it's better to ask Mr. Zhang from Qin Tianjian to come out and say something. Lin Ze is not allowed to marry a wife before he is a weak crown. In this way, Ze'er still has seven or eight years to come." It will be great to let the emperor father decide his marriage affairs in the future."

These words really made the emperor happy.Lin Ze was originally born to him and the queen, but because the Supreme Emperor didn't like it, he was forced to do so in various ways.
