[Red Mansion] Adopted daughter and child

A million catties means thousands of tons.In ancient times, one catty was not ten taels, but 16 taels. Lin Liu did the math, it was more than 600 tons, and there were even more.

This has even reached one-fifth of the amount of grain held by the Lin family, but the money invested by the Lin family for these grains cannot be counted. To make money, but compared to the huge amount of money invested in the early stage, it still hasn't paid back.

Where did Zhao Shishi get so much food?

Unlike Lin Liu, she has a big killer like a Jenny textile machine in her hand. She can accumulate raw funds through cloth and continuously invest in grain, buy high and sell low, and fully control the back of these grain merchants after running out other grains. purchase channels, and then accumulate enough food.

Zhao Shishi smiled: "Miss Lin, don't worry about how I saved so much food, right? It's like I have never inquired about it, what is Miss Lin trying to save so much food for?" ?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Liu shut up instantly.

Zhao Shishi looked at Lin Liu with admiration: "Miss Lin, do you do this business? Don't worry, I have absolutely no bad intentions this time, and I won't do anything to you."

Lin Liu looked at Zhao Shishi with complicated eyes: "So, you already recognized me? Last time you sent me the Zhao Family Food Shop, you really wanted to plot against me, right?"

Zhao Shishi chuckled: "It's just a guess. After all, I have been paying attention to the news about the grain. Someone wants to occupy all the grain shops with such a large amount of money. I don't want to be discovered. I will pay more attention and find out that the people who do these things They are all a family, isn't it normal?"

As for the Zhao Family Grain Shop...

Zhao Shishi smiled brightly: "The word 'scheming' doesn't sound good, besides, didn't I fail? The girl was very cautious. The big grain shop gave it away as soon as it was offered, and she shrewdly gave it to Jia Lian, the heir of the Rongguo Mansion. People don’t dare to do anything even if they want to, the young girl Yingjie is really admirable.”

Lin Liu: "..."

This woman really makes people don't know what to say.

She almost wanted to tell Zhao Shishi all about Zhang's identity, previous encounters, and current address.But before she opened her mouth, she still asked one more question: "Madam Zhao inquired about Lingmei's whereabouts, is it really because she wants to reunite with her family?"

She looked at Zhao Shishi's temperament, he really didn't seem like someone who would miss a younger sister who had been abducted for decades.

Zhao Shishi was stunned for a moment, and the smile disappeared from the corner of his mouth: "Oh, I don't want to find someone, what a waste of time and money? With this time and money, can't I enjoy it by myself? But who the hell, I have something to worry about How about my sister who has been mad for decades and can't forget her mother? I'm getting old, so I can't let people leave and I can't feel at ease, can I?"

Lin Liu was silent for a moment, and made a request: "Can I see Lingtang?"

Zhao Shi gave Lin Liu a strange look: "Girl, as long as you tell me the address of the other party, you can get millions of catties of grain immediately. Don't you feel moved when you hear so much grain? Why waste time visiting my mother? Then She's just a crazy woman, so crazy and irrational, it's useless if you go to see her."

Lin Liu still insisted that she must see Zhao Shi's mother before telling her Zhang's address.

Zhao Shi shrugged helplessly, and got up directly: "Since we meet, let's go."

So he led the people directly towards the gate, walking quickly, without giving Lin Liu any time to react.

Lin Liu was stunned for a moment, and quickly led his men to chase after him.

Although he scolded his mother as a crazy woman, when Zhao Shishi saw Mrs. Shi, his brows and eyes softened a lot.

Mrs. Shi lay on the chair with her eyes glazed over. When she saw Zhao Shishi coming, she jumped up from the chair, took Zhao Shishi's hand and started to shout: "Xiaonan, Xiaonan, you are back, mother!" I miss you dearly, why haven't you come to see my mother after you've been away for so long..."

Lin Liu saw that Zhao Shishi's expression was visibly gloomy, but she was not angry, and she didn't even pull out the hand held by Mrs. Shi. Instead, she smiled and coaxed him gently: "Mother, I It's Da Nan, Xiao Nan is married and will come back after a while. Xiao Nan gave birth to a daughter and came to visit you today, look..."

As he spoke, he pointed to Lin Liu.

Lin Liu couldn't react in time, and saw Mrs. Shi glanced at her, immediately grabbed Zhao Shishi's hand, and came straight to her: "Little girl, why have you grown up so much? Mother hasn't seen her for a long time. You, come here and tell me, how have you been outside during this time?"

Lin Liu looked blankly at Zhao Shishi, but saw that she had already sat on the chair next to her: "You don't want to come to see my mother, Nuo, please take care of me. She is old and mentally ill. , it will delay your time for about a stick of incense, and you will lose energy, so please ask Miss Lin to take care of it for a while."

Lin Liu: "..."

She could only accompany the old lady to sit on the chair next to her, and then she dragged her to talk about the countless years of missing "Little Nan".

While talking, she closed her eyes tiredly, and just fell asleep in the yard.

Zhao Shishi seemed to be used to it, so he directly raised his hand and called a few women: "Carry the old lady into the bedroom, be careful not to disturb anyone."

The women were also used to these things, and immediately carried the person into the bedroom according to the previous posture, but just as they lifted their feet, they found that they encountered resistance.

When they lowered their heads, they found that the old lady's hand was tightly grasping Lin Liu's clothes, and she didn't let go at all.

Lin Liu was stunned: "What should I do?"

Zhao Shishi frowned, took a few steps forward, and whispered in the old lady's ear, "Xiaonan is here."

The old lady immediately let go and waved her hands in the air, as if she wanted to catch something.

Zhao Shishi's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the old lady's hand and placed it on his chest.Then he raised his hand at the women: "Why don't you send him back to the room?"

The women didn't dare to delay, so they left quickly.

After they left, Zhao Shi looked at Lin Liu with a smile: "Miss Lin, are you still satisfied with what you saw? Can you tell me my sister's current identity and address?"

Lin Liu took a look at Zhao Shishi, and sighed slightly: "You have performed so well to others that I didn't know whether I should trust you or not."

From the beginning to the end, Zhao Shishi's tenderness gave Lin Liu a sense of trance and unreality.

She wasn't sure whether Zhao Shishi's performance was a play or from the heart, until the old lady regarded Zhao Shishi as a "little girl", she didn't pretend to be gentle and patient, but changed instantly The expression on his face made Lin Liu feel relieved——

She realized that Zhao Shishi was not acting.

but……

Lin Liu looked at Zhao Shishi and sighed: "I still want to find out how you got those grains. Don't say anything about what you said to me before. I believe you are very clear about the grains I collected. The purpose, just like I basically guessed the purpose of your food collection. We hold each other's handles and are safe for each other. Isn't this the purpose of your sudden mention of food?"

Zhao Shishi glanced at her, smiled, walked to a chair and sat down, without answering.

Lin Liu was suffocated by her nonchalant attitude, but after thinking about it, she still opened her mouth to explain: "Your sister had a bad life in the first half of her life, and although her life is better now, it is still at a normal level. I myself don't dare to get in touch with her too much, if you... I think it's better not to get in touch with her too much."

After all, Mrs. Zhang is Lin Liu's biological mother. She is now preparing to rebel. Even Jia Min and Daiyu, who know the least information about the Lin family, can guess something from their words and deeds, but they did not stop it, which in itself represented them. Attitude.

Moreover, the success of the rebellion is also beneficial to everyone in the Lin family.

But whether the rebellion is successful or not doesn't matter much to Mrs. Zhang. If her identity is exposed, she may be implicated because of her relationship with Lin Liu.

So if Lin Liu could not look for her, he would not look for her.

Zhang's current life is not considered rich, but at least it is peaceful and comfortable without too many twists and turns.

Similarly, Zhao Shishi is too dangerous. No one knows what changes will be brought to her life after she recognizes Zhang Shi.

Others are okay, if Zhao Shishi has such a disobedient heart...

Zhao Shishi glanced at Lin Liu strangely, and chuckled: "Why do I feel that you care too much about my younger sister, as if you have more than just met her once or twice?"

Lin Liu's identity was no secret in the capital. Zhao Shishi could find out as long as he stayed in the capital for a while, so she didn't intend to hide it after Zhao Shishi came to the Lin family.

So he said, "It's very simple, because if my guess is correct, I should be your sister's biological daughter."

Only then did Zhao Shishi get serious: "You didn't lie to me?"

"I won't lie about this." Lin Liu sighed with a smile, "I know you are curious about my identity, and I didn't want to hide it from you. I was born shortly after my biological father wanted to drown me The biological mother was thrown into the Yushi Mansion, and was picked up by her father. She had given birth to several daughters one after another, and her life at home was very poor. Later, her father couldn't see her, so she hired a stable woman to take her. Later, she After another son was born, life gradually improved."

"Although I don't have much affection for my biological mother, I always hope that she can live a good life. She had a difficult life in the first half of her life, but now life has finally changed for the better. I don't really want bad people to disturb her."

Zhao Shishi raised his eyebrows: "Bad person, are you talking about me?"

Lin Liu smiled: "Mrs. Shi knows it well, doesn't she? You are too dangerous, you will do things without any compromise, regardless of the consequences, and there is still food..."

"Aren't you also thinking about food for the court?"

"So I never thought of bothering her in the past."

"Never?" Zhao Shishi looked at Lin Liu, "Then where did you meet her several times?"

Lin Liu sighed: "She is worried about me, she has visited me at Lin's house several times."

Zhao Shishi's eyes relaxed a lot: "It doesn't sound like a lie."

Lin Liu looked at her with good eyes.

Zhao Shishi raised his eyebrows and met her eyes, and after a while, he smiled lightly: "Okay, you must know, it's okay if I tell you, anyway, I will give you the food soon, and you will feel more at ease if you know the details .”

So Wei Wei told Lin Liu why she collected food and how she collected it.

The reason is very simple, not that Lin Liu also wanted to rebel as guessed, but wanted revenge.

After her mother went crazy, Zhao Shi's father spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, making Zhao Shi's mother and son live very badly in Shi's family.Although the revenge was successful later, Zhao Shishi's own reputation was also bad, so he could only marry a businessman, and his mother was thrown into the temple by the Shi family.

If Zhao Shishi hadn't been keeping an eye on the Shi family, her mother might be gone when she finds someone.

Later, Mrs. Shi's condition became more serious. Originally, she could still be awake for three or four days out of ten. After being found by Zhao Shishi, she was lucky to be able to wake up for half a day in a month, and the whole person was completely immersed in the pain of the past. ——

After Mrs. Shi was found, she either talked about her lost little daughter, mistook Zhao Shishi for her little daughter, or cried in despair for the dead child.

When he wakes up, he will fall into remorse for dragging down his eldest daughter...

Looking at Mrs. Shi like this, Zhao Shishi was full of revenge.

So she quickly seized the power of the Zhao family and began to prepare for revenge.The food in her hands was collected after marrying into the Zhao family, relying on the convenience of the Zhao family, as well as various natural and man-made disasters that have occurred across the country in the past few decades.

Because she has no bottom line, there are too many means she can use.

Except for the relief food, she didn't move, other...

As long as Zhao Shishi could touch it, she didn't let a grain of rice slip through her fingers.

Zhao Shishi has always been calm, and Mrs. Shi is still there, and she has a younger sister who has not been found.So in these years, Zhao Shishi has never really done anything.

but……

"Miss Lin, it's really a coincidence that you met me." Zhao Shishi's eyes darkened, "You don't know, just a few years ago, the imperial doctor diagnosed and treated my mother. It won’t be a few years. I was still thinking, when my mother is gone, I’ll do something to repay the historian’s ‘kindness’, and it’s best to drag the historian down to the underworld.”

Lin Liu swallowed: "If you just want to take revenge on the historians of Jinling, there are actually many ways, there is no need to make such a big deal..."

She thought that this person was going to rebel, but who knew that she just wanted to use the means of rebellion to make the historians be punished by the nine clans?

This revenge is really shocking.

Zhao Shishi smiled: "Whoever made it difficult for me, I will pay back ten times and a hundred times. It's just killing the nine clans. What's the big deal? I wanted to do something more so that the emperor would give my father a thousand dollars." It's the punishment of death."

"Tsk tsk," Zhao Shishi smiled and shook his head, "It's a pity..."

Lin Liu: "..." It seems that she accidentally saved the lives of hundreds of members of the Shi family?

Now that he knew the reason why Zhao Shishi did this, Lin Liu had no excuses to stop Zhao Shishi from seeing Zhang Shishi.

What's more, in terms of Zhao Shishi's temperament, as long as Mrs. Shi is still around, she will be no different to Zhang Shi.

So she resolutely handed over the prepared map and address to Zhao Shishi. After giving it, she wanted to leave, but paused, then hesitated and said: "Mrs. Zhao, after you see your mother, no matter what you want to do , please calm down and ask your sister's opinion. Please don't make claims."

Although Zhao Shishi suffered a lot in the early years, she lived a much better life than most people in the country. With her temperament, if she saw Zhang Shi's life today, she might not be able to bear it.

After all, there is nothing good about Zhang's husband's family.

Zhao Shi was rarely puzzled: "Aren't you going with me?"

Lin Liu shook her head: "I shouldn't have too much contact with her, otherwise if something happens in the future, she will inevitably be implicated."

Zhao Shishi nodded and didn't care: "All right, I'll take people there by myself."

So Lin Liu said goodbye, and directly left Zhao Shishi's residence with others.

The next day, Zhao Shishi went to see Zhang Shi.

Even though Lin Liu had been vaccinated long ago, she still exploded when she saw Mrs. Zhang squatting on the ground washing the family's clothes.Although she didn't do anything to that family because of Zhang's presence at the time, the next day, she took advantage of her life experience to invite Zhang's mother and son out to have her husband's house burned down.

Although most of her husband's family escaped, the mother-in-law and husband who bullied Zhang the most ruthlessly failed to escape.

Other people who hurt Mrs. Zhang also suffered injuries of varying degrees.

After Lin Liu learned about it: "..."

This woman is really decisive and cruel.

But fortunately, she is really kind to Mrs. Zhang.

After the two met, she didn't know how Zhao Shishi confirmed Zhang's identity. Anyway, the next day, she asked someone to give the address of the granary where the grain she had saved for decades, as well as the key and token of the granary to him. Gave it to Lin Liu.

Lin Liu looked at these keys and tokens with complicated emotions.

But after hesitating for a moment, she directly packed all these things into a box, and then sent them to Jiangnan, where they were handed over to Lu Sui.

At this time, Ji Song also gained a firm foothold at the coastal border, and specially asked someone to send a letter to Lin Liu to report his safety.

When Lin Liu received the letter, the sender handed over a long sword.

She was stunned for a moment, a little strange: "Could it be that this is also given to me by Mr. Feng? A long sword? What's the point?"

The man shook his head: "I don't know."

Lin Liu asked Ji Song about his life and getting along with him at the border, but that person seemed to be a pure messenger who didn't know Ji Song well, so she could only wave her hand, gave a bounty and let people go away .

After returning to the yard, Lin Liu opened the letter immediately.

At the beginning, it was natural to report that he was safe, and then he talked about a lot of trivial things about himself at the border, and the scenery that he saw was completely different from Jiangnan and the capital.

What makes Lin Liu dumbfounded is that among the content written by Ji Song, every few sentences will always mention his miss for himself.Don't say it, it's really a little bit of what you mean.

Lin Liu pursed her lips and rolled her eyes with a smile.

After that, he mentioned the origin of this long sword. It turned out to be the sword he used to kill the enemy for the first time. He thought it was very meaningful, so he sent this sword to Lin Liu so that she When seeing this sword, one can immediately think of his fiancé who is far away at the border.

Lin Liu laughed helplessly, but in the end he still hung the long sword on the most common place for him.

At the end of the letter, Ji Song mentioned Nan'an County King.Like other people in Nan'an County's palace, he did not recognize Ji Song, but because of Ji Song's extraordinary talent, he easily handed over the matters related to food and grass to him.

When Ji Song wrote this, he seemed to be in a bad mood, and a drop of thick ink dripped on it, making people panic when they saw it.

Lin Liu sighed, took out a pen and paper and began to reply.

After the letter was written, Lin Liu hesitated for a moment, then drew a cute self-portrait with her own hands, folded it, stuffed it into an envelope, and handed it to the post station, waiting to be sent to the border with other people's letters .

After delivering the letter, Lin Liu was about to go back to her room, but bumped into Jia Min who hurried out.She was startled, and quickly hugged him.

Jia Min stood still and looked at Lin Liu: "It's the little Qilin, but you want to go back to the house after finishing your work? Go back quickly. I have something to do here, so I have to go out for a while."

Lin Liu hurriedly asked: "Mother is at home all day, what can happen? But something happened to Rongguo Mansion again?"

Jia Min sighed: "Isn't that right? Someone came from the Rongguo Mansion just now, saying that Uncle Pardon was confused, and you even hit the old lady's maid, Yuanyang, and wanted to take him as a concubine. It's like the whole family He's just a smart guy, looking at other people, he doesn't know that he's trying to figure out what's in the old lady's private treasury."

"The old lady must be very angry. As a daughter, I have to go and have a look." As he spoke, he pushed Lin Liu inside, "Your father won't let you go to Rongguo Mansion, so you should stay obediently." I can do my own thing at home, and I am enough for Rongguo Mansion."

Said to go out.

Seeing her complexion, Lin Liu dared to let her go to Rongguo Mansion alone?Now the mansion is stretched to the point where only the old lady's private house is worth a lot in the whole house, which one in the whole house doesn't miss the old lady's private house?

When Jia Min passed by at this time, they might not think that it was her filial piety. They probably thought that Jia Min went back at this time because he heard the news and wanted to go back to get a share.

Lin Liu decisively pulled Jia Min: "Mom, don't worry, I'll go with you."

As he spoke, he helped Jia Min into the carriage.

Jia Min was still a little worried when he got into the carriage: "Your father doesn't want you to go to Rongguo Mansion. You are also waiting to be married. If you pass by this time, I'm afraid it will bring you a bad reputation. Otherwise, you should still Get off the carriage?"

Seeing that she couldn't help but look out of the carriage window, Lin Liu knew that she was worried about Mother Jia, so she smiled and comforted her, "Father didn't let us go to Rongguo Mansion for our own good, but it wasn't because of the old lady. Now that something happened to my grandmother, It's normal for me to visit as a granddaughter, even if my father knew about it, he wouldn't say anything."

He said with a smile, "What's more, if I let my father know that I let you go to Rongguo Mansion alone when my mother was in such a panic, I am afraid that my father will also blame me."

Jia Min pursed her lips and smiled, then said nothing more.

The mother and daughter boarded the carriage and soon arrived at Rongguo Mansion.

When they arrived, Li Wan's widowed aunt and two cousins ​​had already left, but Miaoyu and Xing Xiuyan were still there.Coincidentally, when they arrived, the two happened to finish visiting the old lady and were about to leave.

Seeing Jia Min and Lin Liu, the old lady introduced the four of them with a smile, and then pulled Jia Min to sit beside her.Seeing this, Miaoyu and Xing Xiuyan take their leave immediately.

When Jia Min asked about what happened before, the old lady's face became more gloomy: "I just found out that the warehouse of the Rongguo Mansion has run out of silver taels, and it needs to be dismantled and repaired in order to barely distribute the monthly silver to the servants." .”

"There is no money in this official, so the masters and sons of the whole family can't spend as much as they used to? Don't they miss the good things in my private treasury?"

The old lady was also full of anger when she said this, "Brother Xi, you have always been such a bastard, and even the calculations are so shallow that people can see through them at a glance. On the contrary, it is the Wang family who pretends to be a fool." It looks good, but no one in the house knows how much silver was originally stored in the treasury. But I don’t know, I know it all in my heart.”

"I don't know how much money she has been greedy for from the officials for a long time, but now it's good, and she has come up with my idea."

Jia Min was a little dazed: "Isn't Brother Xi the one who wants to plot against Yuanyang?"

Jia's mother glanced at Jia Min and said angrily, "Why do you think you are your big brother? Why did you suddenly come up with such an idea? Didn't you find out that there are no silver taels in the government, and you guessed that it all went into Wang's belly, and you are worried that I will use the private treasury in the future. I left all my things to Baoyu, and you are making trouble with me."

"It's ridiculous, what is Rongguo Mansion like now? If they don't want to save themselves, they still have the nerve to fight with me? Don't even see if I leave these things to them, they can keep them!"

If it is left in the old lady's private treasury, as long as it is not a catastrophe of extermination, even if the house is ransacked, the court will not confiscate her private property; but if it is given to other people in Rongguo Mansion?Ah!

Jia Min didn't expect the situation in Rongguo Mansion to be so serious, and he panicked: "If the two elder brothers really want it, mother can give them some money. After all, this is something outside of the body, why let them go to waste because of this little thing?" disturbed your peace?"

The old lady sighed: "In this Rongguo Mansion, your eldest brother and second brother, your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, they are all bottomless pits with huge mouths waiting for food. If you don't let them take it at any price, they will only be in it." I beat the side drums to test my bottom line, but if I let them taste the benefits and smell the fishy smell, I won’t be able to keep what I’m holding.”

This family is all hopeless.

This topic is really heavy, the mother and daughter fell silent while talking.

Lin Liu smiled, and suddenly interjected: "Since Uncle Xi is using Sister Yuanyang to plot against our ancestors, if it doesn't work this time, will Uncle Xi give up next time? What should Sister Yuanyang do?"

Jia Mu glanced at Lin Liu and said with a smile, "Don't worry, your elder sister Yuanyang has sworn never to marry, and she wants to stay by my side to serve you all the time. She twisted half of the strands, and said that if I forced her too, she would just wipe her neck, and no one else would dare to attack her. Besides, I can still protect a maid."

Lin Liu glanced at Jia's mother and nodded, "That's good too, so as not to suffer after getting married."

Seeing that it was almost New Year's Eve again, good news came from Jiangnan, saying that Gui Ling had been beaten in the officialdom for two years, and he finally had a charter for doing things. Do things around.

It is said that they are looking at Guiling's ability, but in fact, how much of it is because of Lin Ruhai's face, even if it is Guiling himself, it is not sure.

But this is a good thing for Guiling, he can climb to the position of Zhen Yingjia's deputy faster.

So after Gui Ling came under Zhen Yingjia's subordinates, he became more serious in his work, with a gentle personality and polite manners, and quickly won the favor of everyone in the government office. As long as he opened his mouth, everyone in the government office would be willing to do things for him.

On the contrary, even though Zhen Yingjia herself was a confidant of the Supreme Emperor, her eyes seemed to be on the top of her head, and she didn't have any rules for doing things, which offended the people in the yamen all over the place.

Although due to the identity of the other party, no one dared to say anything about him, but the things he ordered were naturally not too positive.

But after Guiling was brought by his side, he soon discovered that the things he ordered were completed faster and better than before.

Zhen Yingjia is not stupid, but she also doubted whether Guiling wanted to make him stand up.

However, when he found out that Guiling abided by his duty, he would never step past him to give orders, and whenever he encountered any problems, he would always go to him to ask for his opinion, and after he never overstepped, he was completely relieved and treated Guiling as well. It is really regarded as capable subordinates are being cultivated.

Cultivating and cultivating, except for matters related to the Supreme Emperor, Zhen Yingjia almost left all her official duties to Gui Ling.

In name, Guiling is only Zhen Yingjia's subordinate, but in the eyes of others, he is equal to Zhen Yingjia, or even slightly surpasses him.

Zhen Yingjia didn't care about people in the government office, so naturally he didn't notice the subtle attitude of other people.

He attached great importance to Lin Guiling.

Because he felt that Guiling had done a good job and relieved him a lot of burdens, so in the winter of this year, Zhen Yingjia finally officially promoted Guiling to be his deputy. Except for the official affairs related to the Supreme Emperor, he was qualified to intervene in all government affairs. .

Guiling didn't show it on his face, and still acted calmly.

Everyone, including Zhen Yingjia, thought that he didn't feel too much about being promoted because his real purpose was to return to the capital to become an official, so he became more and more wary of him.

Lin Liu received Gui Ling's letter, and after reading it, she took the letter directly to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai nodded after reading the letter: "Guiling did a good job."

Although Zhen Yingjia's temperament is quite flawed, it is obvious that Guiling has put in a lot of effort to climb to the position of his deputy in such a short period of time.

Lin Liu smiled: "Ji Song's progress is also good. He has already controlled the food and grass. As long as this war breaks out, he can cooperate with his father internally and externally to let the court consume more food."

Lin Ruhai nodded: "I'm also starting to prepare."

Not long after the father and daughter talked about this, battle reports came from eight hundred miles along the coast, saying that the war, which had dragged on for two years, had finally broken out.

Therefore, the atmosphere of this year's New Year's Eve palace banquet seemed very dignified and suffocating.

But fortunately, after attending the palace banquet for three consecutive years, the Lin family has gotten used to it. After returning from the palace, although they still feel tired, it is much better than the previous two years.

At the beginning of the new year, civil and military officials came on duty early because of the border war, and the entire court was arguing over this war. I didn't know it, but I thought it was a noisy vegetable market, not a court where top talents from all over the country gathered. Church.

The old god Lin Ruhai was there, so he didn't end the fight himself, but occasionally he would make a noise to stir up the flames, and finally succeeded in seeing the scene become more "hot".

Sitting on the dragon chair, the emperor took everything into his eyes, couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw this, and simply pointed out: "Lin Aiqing, I don't know what your opinion is?"

What Lin Ruhai was waiting for was this moment. After standing up, he spoke eloquently and eloquently with a long paragraph of gorgeous and beautiful rhetoric, but without any effective information, which made people's ears hurt. In the end, he only said one sentence that made the emperor think it was okay. Helpful Advice -

"No matter how this battle is arranged, there must be enough food and grass. Just during this period of time, the fighting in other places has stopped. Why don't the emperor issue an order to mobilize food from all over the country to the border, and this war must be won. .”

"The one who invaded our border this time is just an inconspicuous island country on the sea. If it is defeated this time, other countries will follow suit in the future, and I am afraid that they will come to invade from time to time."

"Although the border fighters are brave, they can't stand such harassment. I'm afraid they will suffer a big loss in the end."

After hearing this, the emperor felt that it was reasonable, so he ordered on the spot to ask all parts of the country to raise food, so that this war must be won.

It's just that as a soldier who has been fighting on land all year round, fighting at sea is really not very good.

So soon, news came from the coast, saying that under the leadership of the king of Nan'an County, even though our side had more than [-] times the strength of the opponent, we were still pushed up and down in the sea by the local army, and there was no way to fight back. force.

The war, which could have ended in a few months, dragged on until May and June, but there was no news of victory.

Just as Lin Ruhai was planning to take this opportunity to tell the emperor about the rebellion of the four kings and eight princes, the Ningguo Mansion sent someone to the Lin family to spread a message, saying that Jia Jing, who had already become a Taoist monk, had swallowed too much golden elixir. , bin days.

When this kind of thing happened, Lin Ruhai would naturally not be able to expose the matter at such a critical moment, making the situation of Ningguo Mansion even worse.

So he didn't mention it for the time being, and after discussing with Lin Liu, he personally took Jia Min to Rongguo Mansion, and then diverted to Ningguo Mansion.

As an elder, the old lady will naturally not pass by.

Jia Min followed Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang to find You Shi and helped her so that she would not be too busy.

Lin Ruhai was led by the servant to find Jia Zhen.

It's just that Jia Zhen and Jia She and Jia Zheng are still in the Taoist temple and have never returned home. Only Jia Rong is still in the Ningguo Mansion, so the servant took Lin Ruhai to find Jia Rong.

Jia Jing has been a monk for many years, Lin Ruhai expected that Jia Rong would not be so sad because of his death, but he never imagined that he would see Jia Rong molesting You's two step-sisters on the day of Jia Jing's death. , turned around and hugged a few servant girls, making out in front of Youshi's stepmother and two stepsisters.

Lin Ruhai was originally an orthodox scholar, how could he stand this stimulation?

He didn't even say hello or help, he just took the servants of the Lin family and turned around and left without giving the servants of the Ningguo Mansion any chance to respond.

That person had gone far away, and the boy leading the way yelled in horror, "Uncle Rong, please pay attention, Mr. Lin from the Rong Mansion next door is here!"

Jia Rong was startled, and hurriedly stood up from the stool: "Where is Mrs. Lin?"

The little servant wanted to cry but had no tears: "I've been pissed off by you and ran away!"
