Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

Just because Jia Min didn't accept the property entrusted by Lian's family doesn't mean others didn't. Lian's family's excuse was fair and aboveboard, saying that their family was going back to their hometown soon, and it was inconvenient to carry on the way, so they deposited some of their property here.

This kind of thing is very common. When many dignitaries and dignitaries in the world leave Beijing or their hometown, they will deposit a large amount of property in the old home of the old friend because of the inconvenience of carrying it. To purchase a shop in a farm, all you need is for the person in charge to bring the meeting ticket to pay, which is cheaper than carrying it all the way.

This is to guard against bandits and refugees on the way. After all, the property occupies a lot of boxes and cages, which is easy to be coveted.

What's more, just in case, if one day the family's fortunes fall, you can use this money to make a comeback.

The Jia family had 5 taels of silver deposited in the Zhen family, and the Zhen family also deposited not less than this amount of silver in the Rongguo Mansion. When Shi Nai and his wife left Beijing, they also had a sum of silver deposited in the Nan'an Palace. They were almost high-ranking officials. It's the norm for aristocratic families.

At first, the historian wanted to stay with the Lin family, but unfortunately because of Wei Ruolan's case, Jia Min's face was refuted, so he did not ask for help.

The Lian family used to store their money elsewhere. Although Jia Min didn't know the details, he was sure that there were quite a few of them. When they left Jiangnan, they deposited 2 taels of silver in their home. Later, they returned to Beijing to work. , all needed silver, so they took it again.It's just that this time they probably knew that the prospects were not good, so they went to the doctor in a hurry.

Jia Min disapproved of the Lian family's move. They did not do any good except to add another crime to their family.

Although these matters are very confidential, because the officers and soldiers in charge of the night watch in the capital are all subordinate to Yu Heng, so the news of the Lian family has not been hidden from him.The imperial court originally had a night ban, but to many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, it was like nothing. Such people have great careers and many things to do, so they can easily find an excuse to travel at night, and some officers and soldiers who watch the night are also very face-saving. .Before the incident happened to the Lian family, and they were related to the Yu family, the officers and soldiers naturally let him go, so that his family could act in the middle of the night.

Even though Master Lian was impeached, Emperor Changqing hadn't reviewed it yet, and Master Lian hadn't been convicted yet, and the glory was still there. No one thought that their family would transfer the family's property in advance because they saw something was wrong.

At this time, the property that was entrusted at this time, if you look closely, whether it is the property of criminal officials depends on how the higher-ups will pursue it. If the higher-ups are willing to let it go, the person who takes over can say that they don't know that his family is guilty, and even the family has an excuse. Depositing because of returning home, if you look into it carefully, you can also be convicted.According to common sense, it would take a long time for Emperor Changqing to review the impeachment papers of Mr. Lian, to send officials to review, and finally to convict him.

The reason for saying this is because in the previous life, the Jia family received the property from the Zhen family, and later received the property from the Shi family, after the Zhen family and the Shi family ransacked their homes, so there is no doubt that they became part of the Rongguo Mansion. count, with no room for mitigation.

The belongings of the Lian family are slightly different from that batch of belongings.

Even so, Lin Ruhai, who has always attached great importance to the Lin family, is unwilling to keep it. Nowadays, many people are staring at their family. Who told him that he has always been orthodox in the only direct lineage, and has already made the people of the concubine De concubine dissatisfied?The censor who impeached Mr. Lian had something to do with Concubine De's family, but Mr. Lian's family was related to the Yu family, so he took action.They probably thought that if they took care of the Lian family, they would also be considered as beheading an arm of the Yu family.

However, even the adults are not innocent disasters, if he is innocent, how can others find out the crime?

Emperor Changqing is now in the prime of his spring and autumn, but Concubine De seems a little restless.

Concubine De is a rare person in Changqing Emperor's harem who has both sons and daughters. She gave birth to a son when she was in the East Palace, and her natal family has such ties with the Supreme Emperor. How can she not think highly of herself?It's just that none of the original sons and daughters were supported, and they all died before their full term. Among them, the son died on the same day when he fell into grass. Only this year, another prince was born safely, and he was the tenth prince.

The tenth prince has now grown up safely for six months, and he is healthy and lively, which is very much favored by the Supreme Emperor.

Lin Ruhai sneered secretly, the crown prince is wise and powerful, the crown princess is already pregnant, Empress Yu's status is stable, no one in the harem dares to dispute, and Emperor Changqing is a very orthodox person, how could he value such a bastard who doesn't know whether he can grow up or not? ?

The Emperor Taishang loves his little grandson, but it is because he is getting old, and he likes the scene full of children and grandchildren. He keeps his little grandson to live in Shangyang Palace, because the other grandchildren are all at school age, and all of them value Emperor Changqing and the prince most in their hearts.In the few years since the Supreme Emperor abdicated, he has never meddled in government affairs like in his previous life, and the new emperor was struggling. The old and new courtiers restrained each other and quarreled endlessly, so Lin Ruhai was very sure that the tenth prince would not be able to replace the prince.

Compared with Concubine De, who was jumping up and down, Concubine Xian was much smarter. She raised the ten-year-old fifth prince in a law-abiding manner, and usually taught her very carefully.

Because of this, Empress Yu didn't care about Concubine De's actions, but was secretly careful of Concubine Xian.

There is no woman in the harem who does not want to be the final queen mother, otherwise she would not enter the palace.

What is the reason why a prince who is extremely intelligent pretends to be a mediocre person?It is very likely that he wants not to attract attention when he has no power or power. If he does not attract attention, he will naturally not be guarded by others.But everything in the world is to shoot the top bird, if one day the prince is too wise and makes Emperor Changqing jealous, then the mediocre prince will have a day of success.After he is in his early years, he can slowly bloom his talents, and he will naturally be valued by Emperor Changqing.Thinking that the prince almost ended up like this at the beginning, fortunately Lin Ruhai and Su Li gave advice to correct them one by one, and he ascended the throne safely.

Because Daiyu often went in and out of the palace, Lin Ruhai knew these things clearly.

For the sake of his daughter, he will definitely assist the prince to ascend the throne safely.

Only when the crown prince ascends the throne, the Yu family will be safe and sound. Yu Heng is not a person who wields power, and he has little selfishness as an official, which reassures the ruler. With Daiyu's cleverness, he will surely live a safe life.If the son of a concubine came to the throne, then the Yu family would be the most wanted solution. No emperor who ascended the throne as the son of a concubine would let his aunt's family exist.

Lin Ruhai found out that he had only been away from Beijing for more than a year, probably because he was busy with state affairs, Emperor Changqing, who was a few years younger than him, was already stained with hoarfrost, making him look a few years older than him.

What happened to the Lian family happened suddenly without warning, and everyone in the capital was horrified. Who would have expected that the originally prosperous family would suddenly decline, so they couldn't help but become more cautious. They are all families of dignitaries and dignitaries. , The family is big and the business is big, and it is inevitable that there are good and bad in the clan. No one can guarantee that there is nothing illegal about their own family. If they are caught and persist, they may end up like the Lian family.Anyone who is a butcher for an official can see this matter more clearly, so he hates Concubine De's faction even more.

Presumably, even Concubine De and others did not expect that they only wanted to cut off a portion of Empress Yu's support, and collected evidence of Mr. Lian's crimes, but they were hated by many officials in the court.

Except for Empress Yu's mother and son, Lin Ruhai and Yu Hengweng's son-in-law, no one discovered that Concubine Xian's natal family was behind this incident.Their actions were very cautious, if not for Empress Yu who had been paying attention to Concubine Xian's every move, they would not have been able to detect it.

No matter how scheming the concubine Xian is, her city is still inferior to Empress Yu, whose mother respects the world. Therefore, Empress Yu is wary of her, but she doesn't know it. Little did he know that her calculations had already been clearly seen by Empress Yu.

By the time Lin Ruhai used up his leave to go to court, the matter had already been settled.

I probably understand the reason why Lord Lian was impeached, and the crimes of Lord Lian are not very serious. Most of them were implicated by his son's bullying and bullying. His famous posts won several life lawsuits, and his two daughters-in-law used the famous posts of their two sons to engage in usury and exploitation, and made tens of thousands of profits. In the end, his family business was seized and he was sentenced to five years of exile. It is ordered that the daughter-in-law be imprisoned, and all the servants will be sold into officials.

The two sons of the Lian family were mediocre and playboys who spent money to donate false jobs, but now they are naturally dismissed from their jobs, and because they themselves took the lawsuit and their wife took advantage of the profits, they also used their posts to fight against others, so Each was sentenced to three years in prison.

In fact, although the two sons of the Lian family are incompetent, they have never been in trouble, but champerty lawsuits are very common, and every family has done it, because if there is no help in the lawsuit, even if they are innocent, they may not be able to get out.The second son of the Lian family stood up for such a person, and because of this, he saved a few innocent people who were almost forced into bankruptcy by the chief judge.Only the eldest son, Lian, is the most regrettable. He is mediocre and incompetent, and he has always been honest, but he was dragged down by his wife.

Only Liancheng's son and grandchildren stayed with Mrs. Lian innocently. Liancheng couldn't even go to school.

Lin Ruhai didn't make a move, but when he got together with his friend, he showed a slight worry. That friend was the chief officer in charge of Mr. Lian's case. He was shrewd and cunning, so how could he not know Lin Ruhai's intentions?Therefore, Mr. Lian was originally going to be exiled to the coast of Xihai, and was finally dispatched to Guangdong Hai.Lin Ruhai, the official escort on the way, took care of it, and privately stuffed a lot of silver to Mr. Lian, and personally sent it out of Shenjing.Guangdong Hai has Zhang Dahu to take care of it, which is several times stronger than other places.

And Jia Min, as mentioned before, packed up a three-entry house that he married as a dowry to live with Mrs. Lian's family, prepared food and clothing, and bought several confidantes of Mrs. Lien's house when the servants of the Lian family sold them. The servants, give them orders.

Because of this, the Lian family and the others did not feel quarrelsome because of the Lin family's refusal to deposit the items.

Mrs. Lian was a sensible person, but she was confused at first, and hurriedly took care of her belongings. Afterwards, she realized that this matter was already a crime, and she couldn't help regretting it.Fortunately, the original excuse of their family made the family who took over the property undamaged, otherwise she would not know how to make amends.Even so, after all, it still affected some of their mutual affection.

Mrs. Lian smiled wryly, she really shouldn't have acted like this in the first place.

Mrs. Lian is very satisfied with the current results. Although the family is in ruins, the lives of the family are safe anyway, and there are still a few relatives in my family who have never been alienated. They can help and make life easier for their father and son. The son was not up to his expectations and caused such a big disaster. Fortunately, there are ancestral houses and sacrifice fields in his hometown.When she heard Jia Min say that Lin Ruhai buys sacrifice fields for the clan every year, leaving a way out, she thought about it, and bought some, who knew that it became a life-saver.

There are many icing on the cake, but few give charcoal in the snow.

After the accident happened to the Lian family, many people avoided them in fear, and separated their ties one after another. They still had contact with each other, except for the Lin family. My mother's family didn't come to move around anymore.

Lian Chen was smart and conscientious, as soon as she got married, she swore in front of the elders in the clan not to let her future biological son compete with her eldest brother for the title of title. She intervened only after discussing with her elders, so she was valued by her mother-in-law and her husband, and she was not treated coldly because of the family's downfall.After the accident happened to Lian's family, her husband's family not only helped to take care of it, but her mother-in-law even asked her to send a lot of things to Mrs. Lian to help her.

In this way, how could Lian Chen not be grateful?

After she hurried to the place where her mother, brother and nephew lived to deliver something, and said what her mother-in-law and husband wanted, even his wife wiped her eyes and said with tears: "I used to be afraid that you would be wronged, Mrs. Lin and the others did not approve of this marriage, I am afraid that you will be embarrassed in the past, but now it seems that they are an excellent family, so I am relieved."

With tears in Lian Chen's eyes, he choked up and said, "They have reason to be worried, mother doesn't have to say that. I'm fine in the house, and the two children respect me very much, but mother suffers."

Mrs. Lian sighed, "Don't worry if you haven't suffered."

As he said that, he told the history of the Lin family, the Yu family and the Liu family's support, his face was full of gratitude, and he said: "They are all kind people, and they didn't stay away from us just because our family was defeated. They put a lot of thought into clothing, food and housing. And the fourth girl named Xichun in the Rongguo Mansion is a good girl. Hearing that something happened to us, a child like her who can't make decisions, specially ordered the girl to take a lot of things. Miss Tuolin They were delivered to our home. I took a closer look, and found that they were all auspicious gold and silver lockets, gold hairpins, jade rings, bracelets and rings, and they were wrapped in a big bag, which she presumably saved up over the years."

The girls in Rongguo Mansion like even Chen. They like the nature of Tanchun the most, and they also cherish the coldness of spring. Maybe it's because their younger brother also likes to paint. When they saw Xichun, they thought of Liancheng's painting scene. Hou, after getting acquainted in the Lin family, they gave each other a lot of things, all of which were pens, inks, paints and palettes.

Lian Chen was stunned when he heard this story, and said: "I originally thought she was a cold-hearted person who didn't have much affection for people, because the Ningguo Mansion is shameless, and she has no one to rely on. To, who would have thought that she would be so affectionate and righteous."

Lian Chen knew better than anyone the situation of the girls in Jia's family. Except for Yuanchun, who was in charge of Mrs. Wang, and Yingchun who was lucky enough to meet Mrs. Dou, the other two girls were almost left alone.Although Tanchun's mother-in-law looks good, in fact Tanchun has nothing in her hands, and she can't save more than a dozen pennies a year. Xichun's father, brother and sister-in-law don't care about her, and throw her in the Ningguo Mansion for so many years. It seems that there is no such a young lady in Ningguo Mansion, and I don't know how to save these things from her.

Lian Chen didn't know that Xichun was indeed very poor, not more wealthy than Tanchun, but when Mrs. Dou left Beijing, she gave her a lot of property in private. Painful to her, another property was given to Jia Min to be used as a dowry for Xichun in the future. In addition, Xichun also has a lot of clothes and jewelry for four seasons, so there are things sent to Lian's family.And because now Li Wan and Tanchun are the housekeepers and Baochai supervises, it is cheaper for her to send it out.

Xichun has an extremely indifferent personality, and there are very few sisters she has good friends with. Apart from Yingchun and Tanchun, only Daiyu and Lianchen who don't care about the atmosphere of Ningguo Mansion are willing to befriend her.

Compared with this, the family of Zhen Guogong's mansion and Liancheng's betrothed family seemed indifferent.

The lady who was betrothed to Liancheng was called Lijun, she was the niece of Niu Jizong's direct relative and the cousin of Niu Yaozu. girl.

Niu Jizong and his younger brother hated Lian's family and found them guilty. Even if they wanted to withdraw their marriage, Niu Yaozu did not agree. He admired Lin Ruhai's character very much. He had always imitated Lin Ruhai's behavior. How could he be a treacherous person?Therefore, he argued hard and earnestly said: "Could it be that father and uncle have forgotten that Lian's aunt's house is at home? Our family is a first-class uncle, but others are first-class princes! My own brother has been divorced, how will we make friends with our family in the future?" good?"

It was difficult for Niu Yaozu to start from the point of view of faith, so he could only analyze the pros and cons with them, and he focused on the Lin family and the Yu family.

Niu Jizong waved his hands, and said, "What are you afraid of? We have been in touch with each other for hundreds of years. Even if you are a first-class marquis, your status in the court is not as good as that of a first-class uncle like me!"

Niu Yaozu couldn't change his father and uncle's intentions, so he had to quietly ask Wang Xifeng to go there in person and apologize to Mrs. Lian in advance.

Brother Niu Jizong's original intention was to ask the matchmaker to go directly to withdraw the marriage, get back the Geng Tie, and also packed up the dowry gift and returned it to the Lian family. He said confidently: "We are helping the Lian family by doing this. The dowry was returned, and with such a large sum of money in their hands, they immediately regained some vitality."

After Niu Yaozu learned about it, he was speechless immediately, and had nothing to do with his father and uncle for a while.

Although he has always been aware that his father and uncle are not very good people and they only think of profit in everything, but just after something happened to Lian's family, they immediately made trouble, which is really against the way of a gentleman.

After retiring, would the cousin's reputation be better?The same reputation is ruined, and the name of the family is affected.

If this marriage does not go away, even if the family has the in-laws of the Duke of Zhen, no matter whether they are in the capital or return to their hometown, no official will dare to bully their family. After all, the Duke of Zhen is well-known in the capital. His old acquaintances are all over the government and the public, and it is very easy to vent out his anger for the Lian family.Who knows, his father and uncle want to withdraw their marriage, wouldn't it be driving the Lian family to a dead end?

Sister Feng was very eloquent, and apologized to Mrs. Lian very much, and then explained the difficulties, saying: "Our uncle doesn't want to divorce, he often said that life has its ups and downs, who can say that the master of the family will not be able to recover in the future? The third master Lian is such an outstanding character with a bright future, and our uncle likes it very much. But our uncle is a junior after all, and cannot influence the wishes of the master and the second master, so he sent me to apologize to the wife first, and also wanted to let the wife feel at ease. There are many."

After she finished speaking, she smiled apologetically and said, "I came here today quietly, none of our gentlemen knew about it. According to our uncle, we were afraid that the master would send someone here suddenly and disturb the wife."

Hearing that the Duke of Zhen's government wanted to withdraw from the engagement, Mrs. Lian felt a chill in her heart.

Although she vaguely expected it, she never expected it to come so urgently.

Soon, the expression on Mrs. Lian's face returned to the previous one, and said with a wry smile: "I can't blame the family. Who doesn't love their daughter? They all want their daughter to marry well, and they don't want her to suffer. I understand the love of the two masters in the family." The heart of a woman. My youngest son, because his father and brother are troubled, how can he have any future in the future? Even if he wants to be born in the imperial examination, he will not be able to do so, and nothing will hurt Miss Niu's life. We are planning to go back to our hometown and wait for his father to come back."

When Sister Feng heard this, she suddenly felt a little admiration.

Things have come to this point, even the wife is still so open-minded, and she doesn't resent their Zhen Guo Gongfu.Sister Feng thought, if her son was divorced because of such a thing, she would definitely come to the door and make them turn upside down. Since she despises their family's decline, it will ruin their reputation. What good marriage can the lady say.

For a while, many words that Sister Feng had prepared did not need to be said.

Seeing the astonishment on her face, Mrs. Lian didn't think it was funny, and immediately sighed: "It's not that I can think about it, I just want to get together and get away." My family has lost power, and the government of Zhen Guo is in the limelight, so why offend it? Their family, making their own family worse?

She only had a son like Liancheng in front of her, how could there be any more accidents?

Although she hadn't seen Niu Jizong's temperament with her own eyes, she had heard a lot about it.Originally thinking that such a character would be extremely protective of his family and would also help Liancheng's future, so he selected them carefully, and in the end disregarded Jia Min's dissuasion, and made the marriage, who knew that he had made a mistake.

As the government of Zhen Guo wanted, the young and promising Niu Yaozu felt ashamed, and he would definitely not stand idly by for Liancheng's future future, and the Niu Jizong brothers would no longer use their power to force them to withdraw from their marriage, so it was the best of both worlds.

I didn't feel it before, but now I know that once I am defeated, I can only swallow my anger in everything.

Mrs. Lian felt that if Liancheng's marriage was withdrawn by the Duke of Zhen's family, not only would the Duke of Zhen's family have a reputation of being cold and untrustworthy, but even Liancheng's reputation would not be good.Then he said politely: "Grandma Niu went back and told the family that tomorrow I will personally ask the matchmaker to send Geng Tie back, so I don't need the family to come in person, so as not to give Miss Niu a bad reputation."

Lian's family went to Zhen Guogong's mansion to retire, only saying that the family was in dire straits, afraid of delaying Niu Lijun, others would say that their family was affectionate and caring, and it would not affect Liancheng's reputation in the slightest.At the same time, it also prevents Niu Lijun's reputation from being renounced by the Zhenguo government. When the marriage is not going well, the Zhenguo government will come to find their bad luck and spread the anger of Niu Lijun's marriage on their heads.

It can be regarded as a good relationship, their family is precarious, and they can't stand any more twists and turns.

Mrs. Lian felt as if she had swallowed Coptis chinensis, her bitterness was unspeakable.

Sister Feng was shocked.

She was clever, but with a little movement, she understood Mrs. Lian's concerns, so she smiled helplessly and could only tell her husband the truth.

Liancheng very much agrees with Mrs. Lian's plan, instead of marrying a reluctant wife who will be superior after entering the door, it is better to break the engagement and find a like-minded person.With such a ruined family, the one who is still willing to marry me in the future must be a girl with excellent character who loves the rich and the poor.

Therefore, Liancheng immediately urged Mrs. Lian to send someone to recruit the original matchmaker.

Niu Jizong brothers were delighted when they heard about the Lian family's statement from Sister Feng. This matter could solve their family's bad reputation in the future. Of course, they wished that the Lian family would withdraw their marriage, and praised the Lian family for being considerate, so they immediately agreed .Soon, the matchmaker sent by Mrs. Lian came, sent back the Geng Tie, and took back the dowry, and the marriage of the two families fell apart.

After the matter was over, Mrs. Lian took her family back to her hometown.

Although she left very hastily, she still bid farewell to the people she had made friends with according to the etiquette, and started on the road after eating and drinking.

Daiyu has always regarded Liancheng as her elder brother. Their family has encountered such a difficult situation, and Liancheng's marriage has ended like this. It is inevitable that she feels a little sad. It is that the Lin family and his family have not had a better life for many years. come over.

Teasing Miaoyu's daughter Gu Mi, Daiyu said: "Sister Gu has gone to Guangdong Hai, I think my sister is very lonely?"

Now that Zhang Dahu has been stationed in Guangdong, Zhang's mother naturally wanted her daughter-in-law to bring her grandchildren to meet him, so when the spring came, she packed up her things and went south.

When Zhang Dahu was not in the capital, Zhang's mother often ordered Gu Yi to go back to her mother's house, she was very caring, and everyone in the capital praised it. Yi was one of them, and she herself often went to Zhang's house, so it was Miaoyu who felt reluctant to leave Beijing when Gu Yi left Beijing.

Miaoyu said: "I've been getting headaches from Mi'er all the time, so I don't have time to think about these things."

Back then, Miaoyu was pregnant and gave birth to this daughter, and she was only eight months pregnant. The name was given by Gu Yue himself when she was one year old. Everyone said that she would live seven to eight times, fearing that she would be too weak to support her, so the family called her Ping An.Because of the careful care of Gu Mi's family, although she is still delicate, it's okay. She was born with a beautiful makeup when she was a child. Talking about it outside, still coaxes everyone in the family to smile, which is extremely rare.

Daiyu hugged Gu Mi, grabbed her little hand, and said with a smile: "What did Mi Er do to give your mother a headache?"

Gu Mi is only one and a half years old, how can he understand Daiyu's questioning?She saw Daiyu smiling all over her face, she was very amiable, just pretending that Daiyu was being stubborn with her, she grinned and showed her white teeth like rice grains, then she leaned close to Daiyu's face, smeared Daiyu's face with saliva, and then sat down on Daiyu. In his arms, he wanted to take off the delicate silver bracelet on his wrist.

Miaoyu hurriedly handed her a handkerchief to Daiyu to wipe, and said, "Neither my master nor I have such temperaments, why is she the one who makes out with everyone she sees? She is naturally likable."

Seeing that Gu Mi blushed anxiously because she couldn't take off the silver bracelet, and opened her mouth to cry, she hurriedly took it off for her.

Daiyu wondered, "What is she doing?"

Before saying a word, there was something extra in the palm of his hand, which was the bracelet that Gu Mi had taken off.

In doubt, I saw Gu Mi staring at the red gold silk bracelet with seven-color gemstones on his wrist, and then looked up at himself.Daiyu was both amazed and funny, so she stepped down to play against her, and asked Miaoyu, "When did this temper develop? Last time I saw her, she was never like this. At such a young age, do you know how to throw bricks?" And attracted jade?"

Miaoyu said helplessly: "It was still during Chinese New Year, she used her little things to please others, and everyone got her things, and they had to return one or two things to her. Naturally, every time they were more expensive than the things she gave away, they came and went. Later, when she wanted my things, she knew to use her own things to please me. I didn’t say that there were hundreds of boxes of these things, but there were always dozens of boxes. Find out and play with her, and tell her to see what is good, the girls in our family are all spoiled, but you can't just want something good from others, your eyelids are too shallow."

Daiyu laughed and said, "She's still young, she just thinks she's pretty and stubborn, how can she know whether it's expensive or not? When she gets older, she will be sensible. Besides, she also knows how to give away her own things. There are exchanges, so it can be seen that it is not the same. greedy."

Miaoyu also laughed at what she said.

After taking a rest with great difficulty, Miaoyu asked: "Tomorrow there will be a master lecture in the Muni Academy, will you go?"

The Muni Court is located outside the west gate, and it used to be the place where Master Lingtai placed orders. Now that Master Lingtai has passed away, Miaoyu often went to Muni Court to offer incense and eat vegetarian food because she had been a monk for several years.

Daiyu shook her head and said: "Our family doesn't believe this the most, so I won't go. I'm too lazy to listen to their stories about karma and reincarnation. We played in the small temple outside, and an old monk we met in the south put up the order there, he didn’t like to talk about that, so I went to him.”

Miaoyu said: "Don't monks talk about cause and effect? ​​I don't believe it. Besides, what's the difference between a temple and a nunnery?"

Daiyu giggled, stretched out her hand and said, "It's different, it's very different. Monk Liaochen placed the order in a very small temple, guarded by only an old monk, without incense."

Miaoyu felt even more strange when she heard the words, and asked in doubt: "Where is there a temple without incense?"

Daiyu said: "Why not? The small temple guarded by the old monk has no incense, and it is very quiet. People in the world pray to gods and worship Buddha, but only for fame and fortune. They don't know if the Buddha has spirit, why do mortals need to make golden bodies to offer aloe incense How to be respectable? Therefore, after the old monk became the abbot, he often advised the pilgrims, telling them that it is better to seek the god than to seek oneself. It is useless to seek fame and fortune. Yes. The old monk Liaochen said that this is the realm of a monk, so when he came to the capital, he ran there to place an order, and the two old monks recited scriptures to each other, and they grew vegetables for food!"

When Miaoyu heard this, she was immediately in awe.

She was also a disciple of Buddhism. If she didn't know the so-called cause and effect, it was all for the world to seek peace of mind. Praying to gods and worshiping Buddha is indeed for fame and fortune. With the heart of fame and fortune, it will naturally insult the tranquility of Buddhism.

Therefore, Miaoyu said with a smile: "Listening to what you said, I should go to pay my respects some other day."

Just then, Zeng Jing walked in and said, "Sister, do you have rose nitrate here? When I woke up early, my face was a little itchy. It was caused by apricot psoriasis, and the nitrate I was given was knocked over by a little girl. Nothing left."

Daiyu hurriedly ordered Xueyan to pack a big bag, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law sent a little girl to get it, why did you come in person?"

Zeng Jing took Gu Mi with a smile, teased her with a few words of mischief, and said: "I'll invite you to sit with mother and talk with mother to relieve boredom. Mother just came back from outside and heard some news. I'm feeling uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Daiyu and Miaoyu hurriedly took Gu Mi to Jia Min's room.

When Jia Min saw them, he really smiled and hugged Gu Mi without letting go.Zeng Jing and Lin Rui have been married for more than a year, but there is no letter between her knees. She was not in a hurry because she thought that she had been married for many years before giving birth to Lin Rui. Instead, she comforted Zeng Jing secretly, but even so, After all, she wants to have a grandson as soon as possible, so she likes brothers and sisters like Gu Mi very much.

After sitting down with Miaoyu, Daiyu said, "Sister-in-law is worried that Mom is in a bad mood, why?"

Jia Min shook her head, she was too lazy to take care of her family's jokes, so naturally she wouldn't tell her daughter and Miaoyu, but seeing Gu Mi was sleepy, she patted her to make her fall asleep peacefully, Fang said: "Your brother is now It's become a sweet potato, and I'm worried about his marriage."

Zeng Jing was secretly surprised, just now Jia Min was annoyed by the news of the Rongguo Mansion, why is it Lin Zhi's marriage now?Lin Zhinian was twelve years old, and many people wanted to marry the Lin family since he was ten years old, but Jia Min refused to accept it under the pretext that everything was up to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Zhi is the second son, so he doesn't need to inherit the ancestral property, but the Lin family's property is rich and noble. Apart from the ancestral property, the brothers can share a million dollars equally. He is good at reading, and has a cheerful and straightforward personality. The mother is kind, the eldest brother is motivated, the eldest sister-in-law is kind, and the only sister is also a rare kind-hearted person. Even if she is not the eldest son, she is still the son-in-law in everyone's mind.So the number of posts inviting Jia Min to a drink has more than doubled compared to previous years.

They were all older than Lin Zhi, and they all laughed and asked, "Could it be that someone promised Brother Zhi again?"

A trace of sharpness flashed between Jia Min's brows and eyes, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he said, "No, do you know who told me today, and which family is it?"

Everyone shook their heads, they didn't go out today, even if the news didn't come, how would they know?

Jia Min sneered and said, "Today I met the wife of the Marquis of Baoning, and I want to talk about marriage for the daughter of their in-law's wife's aunt!"

Mrs. Bao Ninghou said marriage for the daughter of the aunt's wife of their in-laws?Daiyu came to her senses first, frowned slightly and said, "Why did Sister Tanchun's marriage go so far? We invited someone who has nothing to do with our family to talk about it? The second aunt has never treated the third sister with such care, I think it's strange." gone."

The son of Marquis Baoning married Wang Ziteng's daughter. Their in-laws were Wang Ziteng, and Wang Ziteng's family had three aunts. Zhi's daughter is about the same age, the third aunt is Aunt Xue, Baochai is two years older than himself, and is thinking of a happy marriage, and only the second aunt is left, which is his own aunt, Mrs. Wang. Yuanchun has already left the cabinet. There is only one Tanchun in front of me.

Marquis Baoning and Wang Ziteng are all powerful families. Could it be that they want to join forces and suppress the Lin family?

Mother and Mrs. Wang deepened their grievances only last year, why did they think so?Daiyu's heart moved, and she said: "Could it be for money? Our family's dowry gifts for elder brothers and younger brothers are all 5 to [-] taels. I heard that the mansion is in short supply now, and it's the housekeeper of Sister Tanchun who thinks about it all day long." Being frugal has eliminated many old disadvantages, but it only saves a few hundred taels of silver a year."

According to the common practice, the dowry money is given by the man’s family to the parents of the woman’s family. It is very common for the woman’s family to accept it as a thank you for the kindness of her adopted daughter’s marriage to her family for many years. However, some families love their daughters and will give all the dowry money. In the daughter's dowry.

Seeing that Gu Mi was fast asleep, Jia Min ordered someone to carry her into the room and place him in the room. Fang waved his hand and said, "You don't have to pay attention to their family, but I immediately refused. They think that I will not even care about my son's life for the sake of my mother's family? It's ridiculous! No matter how bad my Zhi'er is, I can't treat him like this, not to mention my Zhi'er is still a good boy."

Coincidentally, Lin Ruhai also faced the same situation.

At this time, Lin Ruhai was already in court, but someone stopped Lin Ruhai. It was Mrs. Dou's father, Dou Daren, who admired Lin Zhi very much. The Lin family got married, and said that the young lady was only 11 years old, she was born ice and snow, and she was very beautiful.

Lin Ruhai was very clear about the relationship between the various families of officials in the DPRK and China. When he heard him speak, he immediately remembered which family he was talking about. It was the youngest granddaughter of Mrs. Dou's natal brother, named Xu Xin'er.

Speaking of Xu Xin'er, there must be many people who don't know who she is, but Xu Xin'er has an older sister named Xu Man'er, who wanted to tell Lin Rui at first, but it's a pity that Mrs. Dou didn't care at all, and the Lin family even
