Since the Dibao has been sent to Gusu, Li He's family will arrive soon after they want to come, so Lin Ruhai has the above words.

When Li He and others arrive in Gusu, they will have their own residence in the yamen, so Lin Ruhai and Jia Min don't need to bother, but they have to express something when they are newcomers.

Jia Min canceled the decision to go to incense, and neatly organized the things that the Li family needed after they arrived in Gusu. With these, the Li family will spend less time thinking about it, so as not to be unfamiliar with the place and become a headless fly. Within two days, Li He's family arrived in Gusu on the second day of March, and they sent someone to the Lin's family early the next morning to pay their respects.

The daughter-in-law in charge came in to report to Jia Min and presented a gift list.

Jia Min said: "Reward those who give gifts with the best seals." After finishing speaking, Fang took the gift list in his hand and opened it to see that there were six bolts of python, six bolts of silk, six bolts of satin, and six bolts of brocade. Six bolts of wool and green cloth, twelve bolts of silk and silk gauze, all of which are for daily use, mostly plain. In addition, there are six new books, six boxes of precious ink, six sets of lake brushes, six square inkstones, and some rice paper and snacks.

After all, Jia Min ordered someone to take it away. On the one hand, he ordered people to send the things that were going to Li's family, and on the other hand, he asked people to prepare the ruler. After a while, Li He's wife, Zhong Shi, sent two women to pay their respects.

Jia Min had expected it a long time ago, so please come in.

The two women were both in their forties, wearing silver hairpins and green clothes, and dressed plainly, but cleanly.

I asked An to say hello, thanked Jia Min for her help, and said with a smile: "Grandma said, please ask Mrs. Lin to borrow two stewards and daughter-in-laws to help us for a few days. We are newcomers, where should we be?" When buying things, I don’t know where the things are good.”

Jia Min has already prepared candidates, one housekeeper and two stewards' daughters-in-law, because he is afraid that the Li family will not be familiar with the place here, but he is an outsider, so it is not easy to send someone there, so after hearing this, Fang pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "I've already thought about it, and I was about to send someone there, but by chance, you came here, let's go back together later."

After hearing this, the two women hurriedly got up to thank them, they were very grateful.

Jia Min said: "I have been away from Beijing for a few years. I said it would take two years before I can meet in Beijing. I never thought you would come to Gusu this year."

The two replied with a smile: "That's right, it's just a coincidence, the master wanted to let the uncle go out of Beijing, but it happened that the prefect of Suzhou was full, and the uncle was appointed as the prefect of Suzhou by the sage, and he set off on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. "

Jia Min is smart by nature, but he knows that things are not as simple as the two women said. Jiangnan is the most prosperous in the world, but any job vacancy in Jiangnan is coveted by many people. Li Xun must have spent a lot of thought to let Li Hemou find it. This job vacancy is also intended to allow Li He to take care of his home after he arrives in Suzhou, which can be regarded as reciprocation.

Jia Min asked again: "Your grandma and brothers and sisters are all here?"

The two said: "Grandma came with her younger brother and elder sister, and the elder brother stayed in the capital with the master and wife."

Jia Min nodded, remembering that Li He's eldest son was ten years old, and Li Xun had to stay in front of him to raise him himself, so he asked how Jia Lian was at their house when he was in the capital, whether he was naughty or not.

The two of them knew each other, and they quickly laughed and said, "Brother Lian is very clever. Not only is he born neatly, but he also has a sweet mouth. He often coaxes the masters and wives to smile and scream heartily. The master and wife have been talking for three days." When the two came to me, the master had already personally enlightened Brother Lian, saying that Brother Lian is very talented, and it has only been a few months, and he can already read quite a few words."

Jia Min secretly rejoiced, she was afraid that without a sister-in-law, Jia Lian would be delayed by the elder brother and others, and with the rigorous upbringing of the Li family, even if he couldn't teach him any talents, he wouldn't be able to learn to be like Jia She Let loose.

As for the abilities of his elder brother, no one knows better than Jia Min.

Who would have known that their descendants are not as good as one generation after another in such a family of Zhongming Dingshi, a family of calligraphy and calligraphy. Jia Min looked at the capital from a distance, and could almost imagine what the scene in the mansion was like.

In the evening when Jia Min said to listen to Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai nodded slightly and said, "Master Li is teaching Lian'er, so you should rest assured." Something bad happened to the Li family in the previous life. Ping An, although the Li family can't justly raise Jia Lian, the Li family is a scholarly family, so they can intervene in matters such as enlightening Jia Lian and hiring a husband. Don't worry that Jia Lian will not learn what he should learn like in his previous life.

Jia Min sighed: "It's true, we can't let Lian'er learn the habits of big brother."

Half a month later, after Li Hetong handed over the affairs of the resigned magistrate, and everything was settled properly, Fang and his wife came to worship. Lin Ruhai and Jia Min gave gifts as usual, but it was not easy for people to come to the door, so they came over.

Seeing each other, it is inevitable that there will be mixed feelings.

Mrs. Zhong sent her back to her servants and thanked her again. Fang and Jia Min talked about their family's grievances in the backyard, and about the women's families and children of various families in the capital. Jia Min was very interested. Considering the current situation of those sisters in the capital, when she heard that most of the sisters had already given birth, she couldn't help showing a bit of disappointment on her face.

Zhong's heart moved, Fang remembered that Jia Min had been in the door for five years, but had nothing to do, so he comforted him: "Why are you so anxious? You are still young, who doesn't know that you have been keeping filial piety for several years, and you have to keep it for another year." , how can I blame you for such a thing?"

Jia Min let out a long sigh and said, "Even so, I'm not at ease."

Zhong said with a smile: "Don't worry, the women here are all fate, and they will come when they should come. When the filial piety is celebrated next year, I will accompany you to the temple to burn incense. It can't be said that you will come a year after the incense. That's it."

Jia Min listened, with a smile on his face.

Mrs. Zhong said quietly again: "I have been here for half a month, so I listened more to the affairs of your family. Why, did the family send a lot of people away?" It's better, whether it was Lin Ruhai who sent away the concubine Ji or the servants, I have heard many people say that when she entered the door today, she also found out that the girls who served Jia Min were all shy girls, and she didn't see Lin Ruhai before. Among the maids in the house, I didn't see any concubine Ji breaking the curtain.

From this point of view, Lin Ruhai really valued Jia Min very much, even though her husband had two maids around him, Zhong couldn't help feeling a little envious of Jia Min.Don't look at the fact that every lady wants a virtuous name, saying that three obediences and four virtues, three wives and four concubines are justified, but most women hope that their husbands will be devoted to them.

If one's husband is devoted to him, what's the point of being called a jealous woman?

It is also a woman's family, how could Jia Min not know Zhong's thoughts, his face blushed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Our master said that there are few masters in the house, so there is no need for many servants, and we are filial, and we don't like those ostentations. I should be more frugal, so I searched carefully and dismissed more than half of them, but they were all useless."

Mrs. Zhong pursed her lips and said, "It's not that you should be more frugal. The little salary from the uncle is not enough for the next month's monthly money."

At the same time, Lin Ruhai and Li He also talked about thrift in the study.

Lin Ruhai has wandered around for many years and knows common affairs. Li He is not ignorant of this, and said with a smile: "I heard you say that, it makes sense. Now it seems that no matter it is the capital or everywhere, most of the people are enjoying life. Wealthy people don't think about planning, they all pay attention to ostentation, they go out a lot and get in a little, so naturally they have a crooked mind to seek the favor of the people."

Lin Ruhai said: "For people like us, we should increase income and reduce expenditure. We must not ruin the foundation just because of good face."

Li He took it seriously, and said with a smile: "The family has really increased revenue and reduced expenditure."

After finishing speaking, he took out the mansion he had obtained early in the morning and reported it to Lin Ruhai, saying: "I just arrived today, take a look."

Lin Ruhai held it in his hand, without flipping through it, and said, "Then, can you guys solve Gu Ming's matter?"

When mentioning Gu Ming, Li He's face darkened slightly, and he sneered and said, "The people Gu Ming turned to are really powerful. They have already found Gu Ming's charges, but they were still suppressed. Fortunately, you reminded me early, otherwise I would have been killed." It's his scapegoat."

Lin Ruhai sighed and comforted: "Brother, don't be so angry. To be honest, the disaster has lasted for thousands of years. Throughout the ages, how can it really be that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil? If brother can get rid of Gu Ming, Gu Ming will not Gu Ming understood that he was able to climb from nothing to where he is now, and his scheming and tricks surpass ordinary people." Between the words, a sneer appeared on Lin Ruhai's face.

Good people may not necessarily live a long life, but bad people often live more freely than good people.

Now Lin Ruhai doesn't believe in the reincarnation of heaven at all, and is unhappy with retribution.

Just like his Lin family had never done anything harmful to nature, and the weak girl in Daiyu's boudoir had never harmed anyone. In the end, it didn't end up in the end of the Lin family's romantic affairs and Daiyu's death in a foreign country.

In his previous life, even if the trees of the Jia family fell, the monkeys scattered the walls, the walls were thrown down by everyone, Lin Ruhai couldn't hide his hatred, because the Jia family was just doing it for themselves, not someone to uphold justice for his daughter of the Lin family. When the Jia family was convicted of the daughter's property, Daiyu was gone.

After listening to Lin Ruhai's words, Li He also sighed, with a somewhat depressed face on his face.

Lin Ruhai unfolded the residence newspaper, with a startled look on his face, and said softly: "So the Ninth Prince has already been born."

Li He smiled and said: "Exactly, born in February, we had already left Beijing at that time."

Although there are nine princes, only the crown prince, the fourth prince, and the seventh prince live under his knees. The biological mother of this prince is not from a high family background, and she is only from a small family, so he is not valued by today.

Lin Ruhai smiled lightly, and did not say that he knew the future. The battle for the heir apparent was extremely tragic. The crown prince was deposed and died in depression. At the age of 21, who would have thought that he would be the Ninth Five-Year Lord in the future?
