[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

Lin Ze leaned on the floppy bed, lying lazily on his side as if he had no bones, his clear eyes glanced at someone who was eating happily from time to time.Seeing the man eating, he still didn't forget to lick the crumbs on his fingertips, Lin Ze's forehead twitched, and he kicked it with all his strength.

"Ouch, hello," the man screamed, and carried the plate of snacks into his arms.A pair of eyes stared at Lin Ze in shock, and said, "Hey, don't take it on me if you are angry, this matter has nothing to do with me."

Lin Ze snorted coldly, "Look at your food, I'm not happy to see it. When you go out, don't say that you are the Prince of Beijing, and don't say that you know me. It's so embarrassing."

Apart from Lin Lan, the old god can continue to eat snacks after being robbed like this. I am afraid that the young prince in front of him is the only one left.

Shui Rong is used to being shameless and shameless.He didn't care about Zhang San and Li Si's, the dim sum made by Lin Ze's mother Shen was unique in the world, every time he came to Shui Zhan, besides teasing Lin Ze to get angry, he just wanted to eat a few snacks.Do you think he is easy?

Seeing that Lin Ze's brows had faint anger, Shui Rong hurriedly swallowed the last piece of lotus cake, and then said with a smile: "This matter really has nothing to do with me, if you want to get angry, you have to find the culprit! "

Lin Ze gritted his teeth, and sneered, "Your lord is looking at me for not being dead enough now, and you're urging me to find trouble with the emperor?"

"Hey, hey, that's not the case."

As Shui Rong said, he glanced at Shui Zhan, who was still calm, and then whispered: "I'm not talking about the current emperor, don't you think about it, isn't it all through that master?"

Lin Ze glanced at Shui Zhan along the tip of Shui Rong's tall brows, and caught sight of the thick stack of papers in Shui Zhan's hand, after all, he pursed his lips and suppressed his anger.

Seeing this, Shui Rong smiled and said: "Master Lin has promised to do this, and this matter will have to be done sooner or later. It doesn't matter if it happens sooner or later." Then he said: "But the Ministry of Officials The official document hasn't come down yet, but even if your grandfather's family got a letter, it's so arrogant, it really can't be put on the stage."

Lin Ze naturally knew that it was Lin Ruhai's idea to promote Jia Zheng to the position of doctor in the Ministry of Industry, but Lin Ruhai also said it before, but this time was not an example.The Lin family didn't have a good opinion of the Jia family. If it wasn't for Hao Er when Jia Min was alive, one day sooner or later they would have given up to the servants of the Jia family.When Lin Ruhai brought up this matter, Lin Ze frowned and couldn't figure it out for a long time, but when Lin Ruhai mentioned Jia Min's last words, Lin Ze still nodded silently.

It's just... This is a matter between the Lin family and the Jia family. What do you mean by your majesty intervening in this matter!

Lin Ze murmured silently in his heart. It really wasn't that he wanted to ask the emperor if his head had been soaked in water recently. Although officials should be handed over to the emperor when they are transferred, Jia Zheng is really an inconspicuous position. Yuanwailang climbed half a level from the position of the fifth rank to the doctor of the Ministry of Industry, but it didn't affect him at all.

Moreover, Lin Ruhai was originally the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has already been sued. In fact, Lin Ruhai has been in charge of the Ministry of Officials for the past half month.The appointment and removal, assessment, promotion, and transfer of officials have always been handled by the Ministry of Officials.

But the nature and significance of the matter was different when the emperor intervened!

This matter is still in the confidential stage. The Jia family only got Lin Ruhai's guarantee, and the arrogant appearance is also very shocking.If Jia Zheng was really promoted by Xuanzhi, then I don't know what will happen!

Lin Ze was struggling here, and Shui Zhan had already approved all the memorials in his hand.As soon as he looked up, he saw Shui Rong sitting beside him drinking tea with a half-smile, Lin Ze frowned and remained silent.Shui Zhan smiled faintly, walked up to Lin Ze, touched the top of Lin Ze's hair, and said with a faint smile, "What's the matter?"

Lin Ze blinked and said nothing.

Is this arrogant or awkward?Shui Zhan couldn't help laughing.

But just because Lin Ze didn't speak, it doesn't mean that someone next to him can stand it!As soon as Shui Rong saw that Shui Zhan asked about this matter, he immediately said something like pouring beans, and added a sentence at the end: "Hey, let me tell you, you shouldn't have mentioned this matter to the emperor in the first place. Selling a favor to the Jia family will have nothing to do with it in the future. Then the Jia family is fine with begging once, so is it possible to ask for a second time? Tsk tsk, really..." Good intentions will not help!

The last sentence was eaten by Shui Rong who knew the current affairs under Shui Zhan's sharp eyes.

Shui Zhan lowered his head and saw Lin Ze looking at him with pursed lips, so he smiled and said, "It would be good if Mr. Lin stepped forward in this matter, but it would inevitably fall into the shoes of others. Mr. Lin has a high position and authority, but if you Let the wife and uncle seek a position for personal gain, and if the news spreads, he will be caught by the admonisher, how will he gain a foothold in the court in the future."

Lin Ze frowned, didn't he!

He forgot about it.

With the urgency of the Jia family, they can make up a picture book novel for you even if there is no shadow, it is vivid and lifelike, as if you saw it with your own eyes.The old wives and mothers who work in the family are even less talkative.Three or two cups of yellow soup, let alone you, it is very possible to pour out the eight generations of ancestors.

Being mentioned by Shui Zhan, Lin Ze really woke up.The Lin family can't pay for their family's future for this matter!

Seeing that Lin Ze had already figured it out, Shui Zhan sat next to Lin Ze and began to explain to his hard-working father.

"I brought this up in front of the emperor. Master Lin is a good official, and the emperor also thinks highly of him. Jane is a character in the emperor's heart. Don't you think how many people are waiting to see Master Lin get off the horse? Even if you make a mistake by taking a step , I’m afraid I’m going to be impeached forever.” Intentionally speaking very seriously, Shui Zhan saw the word “fear after” on Lin Ze’s face with satisfaction.

Very good, the reputation of his father's love for talents has been established.

"Besides, I don't need to say more about the nature of the Jia family. Don't you know about it? Since this matter was ordered by the emperor himself, I don't know what kind of crazy people in their family are. It's just a will. , can make the Jia family forget their faces, and if we can take advantage of this opportunity to tear the Lin family and the Jia family apart, wouldn't it be a good thing to have the best of both worlds?"

Lin Ze's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Third brother has a good idea?"

"The imperial concubine in the palace spends more than a million dollars on visiting relatives. I don't know how much Jia's family has. It's just for the empress in the palace to go back to her mother's house, and I'm afraid it will hurt her vitality."

Shui Rong, who had been left out in the cold for a long time, also clapped his hands and laughed, "No way! I heard that even Concubine Shen's natal family can't make ends meet now. There are so many mouths waiting to eat in the whole house, but there is no money left."

Lin Ze also laughed when he heard this.

No!Without the Lin family's windfall of 300 million taels, the Jia family must have spent a lot of money to visit their relatives in Yuanchun. Just looking at the prosperity of the Grand View Garden, it is clear that the foundation of the Jia family must have been emptied.Hmph, what a shrewd and calculating Mrs. Wang, what an old lady with venomous eyes, who is now living a life of rich clothes and fine food, and still doesn't know it, and wait another year or so, and she doesn't know what to do!

"I heard that Jia's baby Dan'er is engaged to Shi's crazy girl?"

Lin Ze frowned, and glanced at Shui Rong with a half-smile, "I don't know about this, how did you know?"

"Hey, I can't hide this matter from anyone! The old lady of the Jia family celebrated her birthday, and there was a commotion inside. Although my mother and concubine came back, they didn't mention it, but they sighed a few times. If you don't grow up, you will stain the lintel for nothing' and other words. Although I don't understand it very well, but when I heard that the Nan'an Concubine took two girls from the Shi family to live in the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion overnight, I knew there must be something tricky in it."

"The eldest daughter of the historian heard that she wanted to live in the Grand View Garden, but she still refused to go back?"

Lin Ze glanced at Shui Zhan who asked the question, "When did you become so concerned about these things, third brother?"

"I just want to get first-hand news from you. Don't be tricky, just speak quickly!"

Lin Ze snorted twice, took the tea from Shui Rong, took a sip slowly, and then said: "The Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the Grand View Garden of Nature is the best place. Don't you hear that the Yihong Courtyard is' Is a Hongqiao connected to Xiaoxiang?" After finishing speaking, he sneered.

"Pfft-"

Shui Rong also burst out laughing, seeing Shui Zhan and Lin Ze looking sideways at him, he hurriedly coughed a few times to cover up the blushing of his face.He wouldn't say that when he heard Lin Ze say in a serious manner just now that "a Hongqiao connects to Xiaoxiang", he would think wrongly!It seems that it's time for him to calm down and let his concubine find a wife for him!

Someone who is dissatisfied with desire has never been considered by Lin Ze and Shui Zhan.

Shui Zhan naturally cares more about Lin Ze's views on this matter than he cares about water solubility.As far as he knew, Lin Ruhai seemed to have some kind of friendship with Mrs. Jia's family. "Jia Lian of the Jia family's big house, I'm afraid the seat will be changed."

"Huh?" Lin Ze glanced at Shui Zhan suspiciously, seeing that he was skimming off the tea foam with his head down, and for some reason, he always felt that Shui Zhan seemed to be angry.

Touching his nose, Lin Ze found that there seemed to be nothing that could be hidden from Shui Zhan.There are many matters in the court, big and small, and there are many things about him that he hasn't figured out yet. Shui Zhan has already helped to deal with them here.

For this point, Lin Ze will give Shui Zhan a thumbs up in his heart, praise!

"The master said that Lian's second cousin donated a colleague from the sixth grade. Now that he is so old, he should earn some face for the big house." As he spoke, he did not forget to take a look at Shui Zhan, seeing him There was no expression on his face, and his voice didn't feel a little lower. "The master means to let Lian's second cousin go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to practice and practice, even if he is just running errands."

Shui Zhan sneered, and then said: "Since Master Lin meant it, there is no need to say these things. Then Jia Lian..." Glancing at Lin Ze, Shui Zhan said with a half-smile: "I heard that I have a very deep friendship with you, yes no?"

Lin Ze felt a little embarrassed, and seeing that Shui Zhan was not joking, he said seriously: "After getting along with Lian's second cousin, although he is a bit good at arguing, but in the final analysis, I I personally think that his character can still be trusted."

When Shui Zhan heard this, he snorted and said, "Since that's the case, my uncle has been promoted to be a doctor in the Ministry of Industry. As a nephew, naturally he shouldn't be behind. Thinking about it, Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Punishment, is also very suitable."

Although he said this, the expression on his face was completely different.

Lin Ze was confused and didn't know whether to be happy for Jia Lian or worry about Jia Lian.This Shui Zhan's words are a great grace, but that expression... is really not good.

Shui Rong suppressed his smile, pushed Lin Ze and said, "This is a great happy event. When I go back later, I will tell Mr. Lin. Maybe the Jia family will thank the Lin family."

Lin Ze smiled, "It is indeed a happy event, but I see that the old lady of the Jia family is only happy for the second room." Smacking his lips, Lin Ze laughed again: "But it's okay, It's also a double blessing to have their second wife on the left and right."

"What do you mean?"

"You don't know? Who said before that Miss Shi and the second master Bao of Jia's family are going to be engaged?"

Shui Rong blinked his eyes, is it real or not?He just said that, in fact, no one has said anything about it.After all, the identities and statuses of Concubine Nan'an and his concubine mother were left there. Since the two concubines did not say anything about what happened that night, how could those unsightly official wives dare to speak out.

That's right, Shui Rong really guessed this matter.

There was no other reason, just seeing that Concubine Nan'an picked up two girls from the Shi family overnight to live in the Prince's Mansion of Nan'an County, but the eldest girl from the Hou's Mansion insisted on living in the Grand View Garden.If there was no other reason, he wouldn't believe it if he killed Shui Rong!The Prince of Beijing, who loves to watch the excitement the most, has already prepared all the melon seeds and tea, and is just waiting for the Jia family to play with gongs and drums.Who knew that there would be nothing more to say if there was a lot of thunder and little rain?

Shui Rong, whose fire of gossip has not been extinguished, can't wait to come to Shui Zhan's mansion, waiting left and right, waiting until Lin Ze arrives, how can he bear it, of course he has to solve the doubts in his heart first!

Now hearing Lin Ze say that, Shui Rong is scratching his head!If I knew it earlier, I would have gone to Jia’s house. If I had known it, I wouldn’t be sleeping at home. It’s a pity to miss a good show!

Lin Ze glanced at Shui Rong, who was beside him with a tangled expression, and felt bored.

This Shi Xiangyun is engaged to Jia Baoyu, what the hell did this brat do?Could it be that this guy has something to say about Jia Baoyu?

……

"Did you think of the incense string beads of the wagtail?"
