Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

Hearing that someone from the Yu family was coming, the sisters who accompanied Daiyu in the room all smiled and looked at Daiyu. Daiyu was so ashamed that she blushed and could hardly lift her head. Fortunately, Jia Min, Princess Zhongshun and others brought the female family members who added makeup Come in, Fang stopped.There were so many people who came to add make-up to Daiyu that they couldn't sit in Daiyu's room, so they all sat in the hall. The smell reminded them of make-up, and only a few very friendly people came.

Princess Zhongshun looked at Daiyu with a smile and praised her a few words, and said: "I am only a fairy who came down to earth, take a closer look, it turns out that it is our Yu'er."

Everyone laughed, especially Qingran's laughter was the loudest.

Mrs. Liu glanced at Qingran helplessly, and apologized to Princess Dongping. Her daughter is really used to being casual and unrestrained. Fortunately, Princess Dongping is kind. Quiet.

Princess Dongping liked Qingran's temperament very much, but she smiled.

Another maidservant came to report that the makeup urging person had entered the door, Jia Min hurriedly urged Princess Zhongshun, Princess Zhongshun smiled and said: "What are you so anxious about, mother? You will cry tomorrow! Even if they come to the front, you will not be able to see it." You have to wait for me!" As he said, he slowly put the Fengguan Xiapei into the box, and then pressed a pair of 66 taels of gold ingots on it.

The gold and silver items in the Lin family's dowry to Daiyu were all box money, but the amount was too large to fit into the box, so they put two gold ingots, which were both decent and light.Furthermore, when the dowry is delivered to the Yu family, the housewife of the Yu family must personally open the box before drying. It will cost another 10 taels of silver, or tens of thousands of taels of gold, so everyone agrees to put two gold ingots as money in the box.

Princess Zhongshun praised: "After all, it's you, you are so considerate." After finishing speaking, she closed the box and locked it together with the box outside containing the dowry and make-up, so that she could send it out.

Yu Heng was dressed in new clothes, riding a tall horse, like a general descending from heaven, followed by eight handsome and handsome children from aristocratic families who should have come out of the army. vulgar.

Because the teenagers who came to urge them to make up had to be unmarried, several wives who didn't know them immediately inquired about the eight teenagers in private, saying that they had never kissed, and wanted to promise them with daughters.The young man who can accompany Yu Heng to urge his makeup must be very familiar with Yu Heng. Since he is very familiar, he must have something to do with him. If so, can he have a bright future?

Jia Min was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, how could he answer these questions? Others knew about it. He only looked at the boxes that the Lin family had locked and the bright treasures that couldn't be put in the boxes, such as coral trees, gemstone bonsai, etc. , and will not interface these.

Lin Rui was not at home, Lin Zhi was the only brother of Daiyu, and Lin Zhi took her dowry to Yu's house in person.

The drums were played, and the dowry went out.

There are thousands of porters all in red shirts, with vigorous movements, and they all behave in the same way when they lift the dowry. Moreover, the furniture, boxes and cages are all painted with vermilion lacquer and gold, which is dazzling and dazzling.Compared with the ten miles of red makeup that is extremely far apart in other families, the distance between the dowries of the Lin family is very close, almost like a red dragon. As soon as the dowry had already entered the gate of the Yu family, the Lin family only sent out less than half of the dowry.

The marriage of two high-ranking families is a great joy, and the onlookers on the side of the road are all pointing and amazed.

Someone exclaimed: "This is the serious red makeup. It is a custom in the south of the Yangtze River. To marry a daughter is to marry mountains, rivers, and gold. Look, isn't everything available? Not to mention those houses, farms and shops, it is the first one here." The top of the mountain includes all the game that the girl eats, the spring water she drinks, the silk she wears, the charcoal she burns, etc. after leaving the cabinet."

Someone said enviously: "After all, it is everyone who married the daughter. It really opened my eyes. Although it may not be as good as the family property that Mr. Su gave away when he married the daughter back then, it can be seen more attentively. Look at the dowry that was raised on the head. It is a wishful gift from the emperor, and then it is a good thing from the imperial gift, how decent! Not only that, but look at the tiles and mud bricks that follow, they can't be lifted all at once, and even bend the pole, how many dowries will be required? How many acres of fertile land does the house have to have so many tiles and mud?"

Some people were jealous: "I really don't know what Lin Xiang thinks. No matter how good this daughter's family is, it is more important to be able to compare with her son? Good things should be left to the son. After all, it is the son who inherits the family. Lin Xiang has two sons." Well, why don't you take out so many things to marry your daughter to a stranger's house, aren't you afraid that your two sons will feel resentful?"

Another person wondered: "If you marry your daughter, you will be willing to spend so much money. If you leave more to your son, then how much money does the Lin family have? People say that Prime Minister Lin is clean, but I can't see it. The Salt Administration is a poor job. Prime Minister Lin has been in charge of it for many years. !"

As soon as these words came out, there was no sound in the crowd of onlookers.

After a while, the crowd was in an uproar, accusing one after another: "What are you talking about? Which family are you from? Look at your clothes, which family's servant are you? How dare you make trouble here! Don't even think about it, who I don’t know that the century-old family of the Lin family is originally rich and powerful, and it benefits every year. There are only a small number of people in the family. Can you count how much property it has accumulated? They are talking nonsense here! Even the old man said it, God There are only a few people like Lin Xiang, Master Su, and Mr. Yu who will never fill their own pockets, do you understand what it means? These families are all rich family members, so there is no need to kill themselves!"

After Emperor Changqing ascended the throne, Haiyan and Heqing were quite prosperous and peaceful. When the weather is good, the people live and work in peace and contentment. When there is a natural disaster, Emperor Changqing will always send officials who will never fill their pockets to relieve the disaster. He will also send his confidants to supervise. The money and food actually went into the hands of the people, so the people were very supportive and believed in his words without doubt.

Besides, the whole Lin family didn't do anything evil, instead they were willing to do good deeds. Every year they donated a lot of money to honor Emperor Changqing and used it to build bridges and pave roads to help the poor.When their family's farm was hit by a disaster, not only did they not collect rent, but they also distributed rations and seeds to appease the tenants. They only needed to pay them back gradually when the weather was good in the coming year.The common people saw each and every one of them and kept them in their hearts. How could they be instigated by that young man to think that Prime Minister Lin was corrupt and accepting bribes?

Lin Zhi had sharp eyes and ears, and when he was riding on the horse, he heard the provocative words of the man, turned his head and glanced, and recognized that the speaker was a servant of Jia Yucun's family, a sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth.Jia Yucun has been jumping up and down recently, and everyone knows his every move. Although he is still clear in his studies, he secretly recognizes all the servants Jia Yucun's family sends out to do things.

Seeing this, Liu Yuhe hurriedly said: "Good brother, today is a good day for your sister, don't be as knowledgeable as these irrelevant people."

Lin Zhi remembered the boy's appearance in his heart, and made a gesture to order the servant who was hidden among the common people to take care of others, Fang turned his head and said to Liu Yuhe: "I know, don't worry. I have waited for my sister's greetings." Days, I will settle accounts with them again!"

Hearing this, Liu Yuhe felt relieved.

When we arrived at Yu's house, the dowry had not yet arrived, but Yu's family had already prepared a banquet, with a rich array of wine and meat, Lin Zhi and others were invited to sit down, and the accompanying guests were all outstanding children of Yu's family, and they toasted again. Another red envelope was presented, and after all the good words, they managed to get the key to the dowry box from Lin Zhi who was always making things difficult for them, and hurriedly ordered someone to deliver it to Old Madam Yu.

At the same time, the chief steward who was reading the list of dowry was so sore that he couldn’t speak any more. The second housekeeper quickly picked up the list, and half of the dowry was still on the way. The three housekeepers took over, and finally carried the birthday board and the shroud before entering the door.

Mrs. Yu took the key, opened the box containing the Fengguan Xiapei and the money, and put in a pair of gold ingots weighing 88 taels each as money for opening the box.Long before they got married, the two families had already negotiated, and Yuanbao was also prepared.Next, other boxes and other things were opened one by one by Yu Qiuyuke's wife and daughter-in-law, and the jewels filled the eyes wherever they went.

The bride's dowry had to be displayed in the new house to be exposed to relatives and friends. Numerous dowries filled the new house and yard, and the boxes that couldn't fit were sent to the ear room.Fortunately, Yu Heng lives in the main courtyard, which is very spacious inside and out, otherwise, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to accommodate all these things.The furniture placed in the front new house is made of red sandalwood, and the set of huanghuali wood is sent to the backyard for the time being, and will be sent to the high-rise after drying. Together with the huanghuali wood furniture, there are many display utensils, bonsai screens, etc. that cannot be placed in the new house.

Looking at the dazzling array of dowries, the one who married in was more than just a golden baby, it was simply a golden mountain!Some people were envious, some were jealous, and some were talking bitterly, because Mrs. Yu was very busy, so she ignored them.

Because someone looked at it carefully, he said to Yu Qiu's wife with a smile: "I have just seen it today. I am afraid that the dowries of all the other people in the house are put together, and they are not as good as this dowry? After a rough calculation, there are hundreds of people. Tens of thousands!" Millions, except that the Su family is extinct and all their belongings are given to Miaoyu as a dowry, who else will give their daughter a million as a dowry?

Mrs. Yu Qiu was also very envious in her heart. She knew that Lin Ruhai loved her daughter, but she never imagined that it would be like this. All the property in her own family is not as good as it, but these thoughts cannot be explained to outsiders, so she said with a smile: "It's more than a million. My niece and daughter-in-law are the most blessed. Just like her natal brothers, except that the ancestral property is inherited by the elder brother, the rest of the Lin family property is divided equally between the three, which is already a million. Not to mention that Mr. Su has prepared for her A dowry of no less than hundreds of thousands, as well as a dowry gift from our family, and as early as more than 20 years ago, Prime Minister Lin’s confiscated property of his servants was also given to her as a dowry.”

Lin Ruhai started to save dowry for her daughter more than 20 years ago. The property that she got from servants back then has more than doubled today. After careful calculation, if these things are put together, Daiyu's dowry is more than what her brothers will get from the Lin family in the future. There are more family businesses.

Everyone was amazed when they heard the words, and they all said: "Xiang Lin has such courage, and the daughter gets the same share of the family business as the man!"

Mrs. Yu Qiu smiled faintly, thinking that only those close to the Lin family would know, and she had heard people say that Lin Ruhai's love for her two sons was far less than that for her daughter. Many people once said that they would rather be reincarnated as Lin Ruhai's daughter doesn't want to be the son of a prince or aristocrat either, this shows it.

Some people also said half-sourly: "It seems that Uncle Guo married a God of Wealth!"

Mrs. Yu had already collected the list of dowry. After hearing this, she supported Chen Xiang's cane with one hand and lightly waved the other hand, and said: "Our family is looking for people, and dowry is second. I don't like the dowry either."

When everyone heard this, they didn't take it seriously, thinking that she said such things because she was rich in wealth.

Why doesn't Mrs. Yu understand their thoughts?But at this age, when she married her grandson-in-law, everything went well, and she didn't want to part with them.

Seeing that at dusk, the colorful clouds had already filled the sky, Lin Zhifang returned home, reported to his parents, especially told Lin Ruhai about the fact that someone instigated the people on the way to the wedding, Lin Ruhai was silent for a while after listening, and said: "You don't have to worry about it, The good times of Jia Yucun's family have come to an end, and the sage has his own decision."

Lin Zhidao: "Although that's the case, it's really disgusting to see them jumping up and down. There are people in the world who hate others the most. If they are instigated by them and make troubles every time, wouldn't it be bad for father?"

There was a hint of approval in Lin Ruhai's eyes, and he said with a smile, "As long as it doesn't involve your sister, it would be better."

Lin Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and then understood a little.

Everyone said that Lin Ruhai was good, and that was the real bad. As long as there were one or two dissatisfied people, as long as they took proper precautions, they would not harm their family at all, and on the contrary, they would be reused by Emperor Changqing.

Lin Ruhai patted him on the shoulder, thinking that he could feel at ease with his younger son.

At that time, the banquet of the Lin family had already ended, and the servants were tidying up in an orderly manner, and it was easy to get it done. Jia Min returned to the room and hurriedly took off her make-up and undressed, feeling sore all over her body, and her underwear was soaked in sweat. Feeling hot, I don't know if Daiyu Minger Fengguanxiapei can bear it.

Lin Ruhai heard her worry, smiled lightly, and comforted: "Yu'er was born delicate, even though she is no different from ordinary people, but she wears jackets most of the time in summer, not to mention it's autumn now?"

Jia Min thought it was right. People often say that icy muscles and fine bones are naturally cool and sweatless. They are talking about Daiyu.

When resting at night, Jia Min was extremely sleepy, and closed his eyes early to sleep peacefully. He didn't want to feel thirsty at the third watch. Opening his eyes, he said, "Master, go to bed early, I'll be busy tomorrow." Saying this, he got up and asked the maid from the night outside to bring tea in.

After finishing the tea, Lin Ruhai couldn't fall asleep more and more, and sighed: "Thinking about tomorrow, I just don't want to part with it."

Jia Min just felt it was funny, and then her heart felt sore, tears were about to come out of her eyes, she said in a low voice: "Master is not willing to give up, can I not give up? Our spoiled daughter is going to marry someone else's family, leaving the court, where is she?" Can it compare to the comfort of being in your own home? It’s just that the male college should be married and the female college should be married, so we can’t leave her as an old girl at home.”

Lin Ruhai took her hand and let out a long sigh, the husband and wife sat together speechless.

For half a day, Lin Ruhai glanced out of the window, because the glass window was open, the moon disc was crystal clear, and the stars were shining brightly, a piece of brilliance flowed into the room through the screen window, Fang said, "Sleep, look at the brilliance of the stars and moon tonight, tomorrow will be a fine day. "

The next day, sure enough, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and it was sunny without rain.

In August, the fragrance of osmanthus seeds is even better.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min got up early in the morning and changed into new clothes. Not long after, congratulators arrived. Jia Min went to Daiyu's room first, and saw Daiyu sitting on the bed in a red dress. Xichun and others who stayed in the mansion yesterday had not left the cabinet The girls are all around, each wearing new clothes and jewelry, and they are very brightly dressed.

The moment he saw Daiyu, Jia Min's eyes turned red, and he was about to shed tears. He hurriedly held a handkerchief to press the corners of his eyes, and forced a smile: "Xi girl, you sisters, stay with Yu'er well, I'll go outside to greet guests." gone."

Xichun stood up, lowered her hands in response, and said, "Don't worry, Auntie."

After Jia Min left, Xichun sat back.

At that moment, Baochai and others followed Jia Mu, Xichun went out to greet her, and then the young daughter-in-law and girls stayed in the room to accompany Daiyu to relieve her boredom, Baochai and Tanchun were also there, and they sat in the last seat, When she looked up, she saw Daiyu talking to Qingran about the lively place, although she didn't put on makeup, she was graceful, charming and glamorous, and she was envious in her heart.

Qing Ran said: "If you count the auspicious time, should it be here?"

Lian Chen pulled Xi Chun to talk, heard the words, turned his head and smiled and said, "Even if we come, it will take a while to get in. Brother Zhi has loved Sister Lin since he was a child, can you make things difficult for them? I heard that, For today, Brother Zhi invited many students to come over to give advice, and came up with many tricky and weird methods."

Qing Ran pursed her lips into a smile and said, "Yes!"

After a while, she really heard the faint sound of Xile coming from the front, Qingran hurriedly sent the girl out to inquire, and came back to say that the Yu family's wedding team had arrived, but they were all blocked from the door and were not allowed to enter.

Lin Zhi led people to close the gate, put the bolt on it, and asked a few classmates to stand against it so that they would not be knocked open, but they refused to give in at all. Bowing, he threw the red seal to open the door through the crack of the door again, and said loudly: "Uncle, open the door quickly, don't miss the auspicious time!"

Lin Zhi held a gold watch the size of a walnut in one hand, and put one hand on his hip, and said, "Don't worry, I'll watch. Besides, opening the door for you so easily would make me too useless, and it would also not show the dignity of our aunt."

After hearing this, Yu Heng said in a deep voice, "What do you want, brother?"

Lin Zhi thought for a while and said, "My sister has the talent to sing Xu, why not write a poem first, if I am satisfied, the door will open automatically."

Yu Heng was originally well-versed in both civil and martial arts, so writing poems would not be difficult for him, not to mention that he had already prepared a lot of poems in his belly, just waiting for today, so he listened to Lin Zhizhi's words and read them without thinking, all of which were praises of Daiyu's poems. Talented and intelligent, with exquisite layout and good words and sentences, but can't hide a trace of grace.

When Lin Zhi heard this, he murmured inwardly that it was not good, but it didn't bother him. He immediately wrote a poem with Jingui as the title.

The poems that Yu Heng prepared at the beginning included all the flowers, plants and trees in the golden autumn season, so he came at his fingertips.

Lin Zhi was very dissatisfied, and Yu Heng solved all the puzzles.

When it was passed inside, everyone praised it.

Daiyu smiled unconsciously, until the auspicious time was approaching, Lin Zhi really had no way to embarrass Yu Heng, and fearing that the auspicious time would be delayed, Fang reluctantly opened the door, accepted the makeup ceremony, and together with Yu Heng Heng's make-up reminder poems were also sent inside.

The make-up ceremony is the Fengguanxiapei that was sent to Yu's family in the dowry yesterday, today it was sent by Yu Heng together with the mirror box, makeup and powder, and then Princess Zhongshun dressed Daiyu.While dressing up, there were several reminders from outside, and many poems were written and sent. Princess Zhongshun put on a phoenix crown and Xiapei for Daiyu.

As early as when Princess Zhongshun combed Daiyu's hair, Jia Min was already in tears, choked up and speechless.

How could Daiyu bear it?It was also tears rolling down.

Concubine Zhongshun hurriedly persuaded: "Carefully put on makeup, on the big day, don't cry."

Everyone stepped forward to persuade them, but finally stopped, and put on makeup again, and then put on the red hijab of dragon and phoenix.

After bidding farewell to his parents with tears in his eyes, Lin Zhi sent Daiyu to the sedan chair with Daiyu on his back.

The sedan chair is very delicate, the scarlet satin sedan chair is covered with gold and silver, and the bead embroidery is brilliant. The sedan chair disassembler who followed him disassembled it himself, so that the bride can enter and exit properly. When the curtain was lowered, the bearers looked at Lin Zhi with smiles and refused to lift until Lin Zhi took out a bag of gold scorpions, such as Ruyi pen ingots, champions and first prizes, or Bingdi flowers, and distributed them, and another large bag of gold scorpions was given to replace the sedan chair on the way. Husbands, they thanked each other with a smile, and lifted up the wedding sedan chair with the sound of drum music.

At some point, Lin Ruhai had already walked out of the gate, stood outside the gate, looking at the bridal sedan chair in the distance.

Daiyu's home is Yu Heng.

Since I was reborn, my biggest wish is also here.

However, it doesn't stop there.

From now on, he will always pay attention to whether his daughter's life is good or bad after she leaves the cabinet. He has loved his daughter for so many years, and he can't feel satisfied just because she gets married.

His Lin Ruhai's daughter must live a happier life than anyone else.

Inside, Jia Min knew that Lin Ruhai was reluctant to let go, so he sighed slightly, ordered someone to persuade him to come back, and greeted the guests again.

After returning home three days later, the Lin family was bustling again.

Lin Ruhai had been waiting at home long ago, the red lights and green satin in the house had not been removed, the inside and outside were festive and lively, Lin Zhi personally greeted him out of the gate, and came in, Du Daiyu's car entered the second gate, unloaded the horse And the bearing, the mother-in-law carried the carriage into the inner door, and the maid opened the curtain, just as Lin Zhi and Yu Hengye had arrived.

Yu Heng took two steps forward and helped Daiyu get out of the car.

He was wearing pomegranate red clothes today, but Daiyu was wearing the cut silk clothes of big red pomegranates. When he came to Jia Min and Lin Ruhai, the husband and wife stood side by side, a natural pair of jade.

Now that her sister has left the court, she is part of the Yu family. Lin Zhi will inevitably feel displeased with Yu Heng. After the two have paid respects to their parents and sent home gifts, Lin Ruhai ordered him and Yu Heng to go to the study with him, and Lin Zhi had to agree. Unexpectedly, he was one step behind, quietly pulled Daiyu and said, "My good sister, I have a lot to say, please wait for me when I come back."

Daiyu nodded with a smile, and Lin Zhifang went to the study in peace.

Jia Min beckoned Daiyu to her side, looked at her carefully, and saw her radiant face, outstanding bearing, and a charming and romantic attitude that made people fall in love with her, he felt relieved, and saw her combing the Eight Treasures Ruyi bun, and the red phoenix facing the sun. The hanging pearls and hairpins are all light and delicate, not like the girl's dress at home, and I don't feel sour. I asked about everything after the marriage in a soft voice, and I heard that I had worshiped the ancestral hall and entered the genealogy. Mrs. Yu treated her very sympathetically , Uncles and aunts have separated, and they don't live and eat together, so they are very leisurely.

Jia Min said: "Other people's marriage depends more on both parents. At the beginning, I chose Heng'er because their family was simple. That's very good. Now that you are married, you should be filial to the old lady in the future."

Daiyu lay in her mother's arms and said coquettishly, "Although it's only been three days, I feel like it's been a lifetime. I'll often come back tomorrow to see my parents."

Jia Min stroked her temples, and said softly: "How can a married daughter go back to her mother's house every so often? On the contrary, it makes people laugh, saying that it is wrong for you to go back to her mother's house. No one in our family is in charge. , your father treats me well, so I can often go to your grandmother's house, but now you have an old grandmother to serve you, but you can't do that."

Daiyu shook her head and smiled, "Grandmother and elder brother both told me to come back to visit my parents when I miss them."

When Jia Min heard this, she was overjoyed, and immediately said: "This is because the old lady and Heng'er love you, but you can't take it for granted."

Daiyu could only nod her head in agreement.

But when it was mentioned in the study that Menzi had arrived in the capital, Lin Ruhai hurriedly said to Yu Heng: "You must not meddle in this matter, we don't need to intervene in this matter, and Jia Yucun will not end well. If we intervene, others will say that we will avenge ourselves."

Now that Yu Heng married Ruyi's beautiful wife, he was very satisfied. Naturally, he would not let these things disturb his husband and wife. The officials don’t know how many people there are, so there’s no need to dirty our hands.”

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "It's good that you understand."

Lin Zhi saw their son-in-law Weng talking about something, so he went out with an excuse, but actually went to talk to Daiyu.

Lin Ruhai and Yu Heng knew it in their hearts, so they didn't point it out, but talked about other matters in the court.

Lin Ruhai said: "Earlier, I had an idea with Your Majesty, that is, the tax payment of officials and gentry. Your Majesty agreed very much. After these days, the regulations have gradually been improved, but they have not yet been issued. When the world knows, I will be the target of public criticism. I'm afraid it will involve you too, I don't worry about Rui'er following the crown prince, you have to be careful to protect Yu'er, and don't let others take advantage of it."

Yu Heng had heard about this a long time ago, and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law and brothers and sisters should also be careful. With this decree, some dignitaries who don't want to pay taxes may take revenge on their father-in-law, so they must take desperate actions. .”

Lin Ruhai sighed: "I have already made arrangements, but I don't worry about Yu'er."

It's good for him to go home often, but Yu Heng's errands made it impossible for him to go home every day.

Yu Heng smiled and said: "Father-in-law don't have to worry. Most of the guards in the son-in-law's house are retired from the army. They are all brave and good at fighting. The second housekeeper and the third housekeeper are the masters I hired back then. They didn't want to be officials, so they did it." Without the housekeeper, with them around, no thief dares to enter the mansion. Besides, when the decree is issued, the son-in-law will ask His Majesty for protection, and Yu'er will be safe."

Lin Ruhai listened, nodded and remained silent.

After the banquet, Lin Ruhai met Daiyu again, talked for a while before letting them go home.

He didn't want their Weng and son-in-law to be prepared for future difficulties when they met, but Emperor Changqing had already made up his mind. He summoned Jia Yucun alone, comforted him with gentle words, said that he trusted Jia Yucun, and told Jia Yucun not to care about the hostility of all officials in the court. There are times when he is reused.However, when Jia Yucun was overjoyed, he suddenly let out a long sigh, which seemed to be difficult.

Jia Yucun just felt that he was more important than Lin Ruhai, otherwise, how could he be called into the palace, and the sage would speak in person. Hearing this sigh, he hurriedly said: "Although I am incompetent, I am willing to share your majesty's worries."

If you didn't know Jia Yucun's character, just looking at his appearance and demeanor, you would really think that he was a loyal and good minister.Emperor Changqing lowered his eyes, only felt that his face was hideous, suppressed the disgust in his heart, and said: "Although the property of many criminal officials has been confiscated in the past two years, and the national treasury has been enriched, but it has gradually been consumed and the tax revenue is insufficient. I am very upset. On the contrary, it is the families of the officials and gentry, with a lot of fertile land and shops, and a lot of income. If they pay taxes like the common people, wouldn't the treasury have a lot of income, which is a pity."

Jia Yucun's eyes suddenly lit up. Who did he hate the most in his life?It is those families of dignitaries and dignitaries with deep roots, if they implement the tax policy of officials and gentry, they will lose a lot of profit, and they will feel infinite joy when they see their misfortune.What's more, this is the meaning of Emperor Changqing. If he honors it first, how can Emperor Changqing not protect himself?

Thinking of this, Jia Yucun volunteered to say that tomorrow he will play in court to relieve Emperor Changqing's worries.

Emperor Changqing was overjoyed, and immediately ordered people to show him the draft regulations, not all of them, but some furs, and gave him colorful satin, gold and silver, etc., as if to approve.

For this reason, Emperor Changqing ordered people to suppress the matter of Menzi for the time being, and only waited for Jia Yucun to play it.

Sure enough, Jia Yucun lived up to the expectations of the public, and he wrote an excerpt vigorously. In the early morning of the second day, when he was played at the court, he was originally a sharp-tongued character. When the gentleman is selfish, he is even more eloquent, making it impossible for people to object.

Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows and looked at Emperor Changqing. He actually used Jia Yucun as a target to promote the taxation of officials and gentry?

Except for Emperor Changqing and Yu Heng, no one knew that Lin Ruhai had come up with this idea.

As soon as Jia Yucun's words fell, officials immediately objected, saying: "Since ancient times, everything has been inferior, but reading is high. How can the rich and scholars be compared with the common people?"

Jia Yucun said righteously: "You can't say that, Buddhists say that all living beings are equal! We are officials, don't we serve the country and the people? Now the treasury is empty and the tax revenue is insufficient. At this time, only the income from the house raids can be paid. , if one day the national treasury is unable to make ends meet, the bank deposits are exhausted, and the imperial court cannot distribute salaries, how can poor officials survive? At this time, the implementation of taxes by officials and gentry may not be higher than that of the common people, and scholars with fame still have money and rice You can get it, and you can also be exempted from corvee, what's your dissatisfaction?"

Everyone is very popular.

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai suddenly understood Emperor Changqing's intentions. What he suggested at the beginning was a tax of [-] yuan, which was still higher than that of ordinary people, but Jia Yucun didn't mention this point. Could it be that Emperor Changqing didn't explain it to him? ?

At this time, the DPRK and China were already arguing.

Seeing that Lin Ruhai didn't speak, Su Li and other officials who had good relations with Lin Ruhai also kept silent.They all knew in their hearts that Jia Yucun definitely did not come up with this idea. Judging by his arrogance and domineering, it might be according to Emperor Changqing's will. If that is the case, why should they meddle?Although paying taxes made them very distressed, but Lin Ruhai didn't object, why should they object?

Suddenly someone noticed Lin Ruhai's silence and asked, "What do you think, Prime Minister Lin?"

Lin Ruhai didn't speak, but only looked at Emperor Changqing, and when Emperor Changqing gave permission, Fang smiled and said: "Everyone has their own reasons, and each has their own sufferings. If I agree, I will not understand the sufferings of the officials and gentry. If I Disagree, but feel ashamed of the people of the country."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help frowning.

Emperor Changqing sat on the top and watched the quarrel below, and said: "Since this is the case, Lin Qing's family should think of a way to get the best of both worlds!"

Everyone looked at Lin Ruhai without realizing it, and saw him pondering for a moment, as if he was thinking, and said for a long time: "It's a bit inappropriate to pay the same tax of [-] yuan as the common people. The officials and gentry are higher than the common people, so how can they be the same? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the tax was one for thirty, which was still higher than that of the common people, to show the status of officials and gentry, and to be able to serve the country wholeheartedly?”

The eloquence of these words still made many officials dissatisfied. They always thought that everything was inferior, but education was high. How could they pay taxes together with the people?Isn't that self-declining?Seeing Jia Yucun's frown, they seemed to be dissatisfied with Lin Ruhai, but they felt that Lin Ruhai's strategy was much better than Jia Yucun's. If they opposed Jia Yucun and agreed with Lin Ruhai, wouldn't they be slapping Jia Yucun in the face?Making Jia Yucun unhappy makes them happy.Therefore, there is a state of contemplation on the face.

Su Li always followed Lin Ruhai's lead in everything. At this time, Yu Heng was not around, so he immediately said: "Mr. Lin's words are very true. Whether it is a farm or a shop, I would like to pay a tax of [-] yuan, and contribute a little to my family and country."

Emperor Changqing said happily: "Su Qing's family is indeed a loyal and virtuous minister!"

Hearing this praise, some officials who originally disagreed had no choice but to shout in agreement. If they disagreed, they might not be loyal or virtuous ministers.Therefore, they praised Lin Ruhai's strategy very much, agreed with it very much, and put Jia Yucun aside.Seeing Jia Yucun's pale face and angry eyes, the originally reluctant official felt relieved.

The regulations on the taxation of officials and gentry have been drawn up long ago and promulgated by the current court.

All the ministers heard this, and knew that Emperor Changqing had this intention long ago, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he couldn't express it, so he had to transfer his hatred to Jia Yucun.In particular, there are countless officials and gentry in the world, and most of them are unwilling to pay taxes. Even if the officials of the DPRK and China agree, they are very unhappy, so they try their best to target Jia Yucun, which disturbs Jia Yucun and is helpless.

Except for the common people, it is impossible for the government and gentry to get the support of all the officials and gentry all at once. At the end of the year, only [-]% of the officials and gentry paid taxes in full, and the remaining [-]% complained of arrears and refused to pay taxes.

Emperor Changqing became ruthless, and sent confidant officials to personally check the accounts, and punished [-] or [-] officials and gentry who lied about the report, so that everyone else was at risk and paid taxes honestly.Of course, the officials and gentry sent down were also those who had committed crimes before, and those who had not committed crimes but lied about the report, and were fined to pay twice the tax.

As a result, these people hated the instigator Jia Yucun even more deeply, even though they knew what Emperor Changqing meant, but they did not dare to be dissatisfied with Emperor Changqing, so they sent Jia Yucun all the crimes.

Starting from the case of Menzi, many people were involved.

Because the evidence of the crime was conclusive and unforgivable, Emperor Changqing immediately dismissed him from his post and sentenced him to exile. His family was confiscated and his family members became officials.In fact, beheading Jia Yucun was not an exaggeration, but those officials hated Jia Yucun so much, how could they let him die so easily?It would be better to be exiled to a place of bitter cold and suffer so much, so some crimes have not been sent.

When Jia Yucun was exiled, it was the winter of the second year, flying lint like cotton, and the cold wind piercing through the bones. He was wearing prison clothes and carrying shackles, and he was extremely thin.

Menzi sat in the small sedan chair with his hand stove in his arms, watching Jia Yucun outside the curtain walking on the snow step by step.

Lin Ruhai sighed, the story back then originated from Jia Yu Village and ended in Jia Yu Village.

After my own rebirth, some people's fate has changed, and some people are still the same as in their previous life.

Not long after the Jiayu Village incident ended, Jia's mother suddenly fell ill and stayed in bed for several months. She passed away in February of the following year. For Baoyu, she lived nearly two years longer than her previous life.

After the funeral, Jia Amnesty and Ding You returned to Beijing, and Jia Lian helped the spirit back to his hometown, and brought Baoyu Xiangyun and Xichun back to Jinling to settle down.Mrs. Wang is dead, and Baoyu and Baochai have to go back to their hometown to observe their filial piety. However, because Jia's mother is staying in the capital, the marriage of the two Xichun has been negotiated, and their family is in the south of the Yangtze River. Chen Jiaojiao made the decision, so naturally she would not be called out of the court in a humble way.As for Xiangyun, after arriving in Jinling, Jia She sent Shi Xiangyun and his dowry back to the historian.Even if Jia's mother is still alive, Shi Xiangyun should be taken care of by the historians. There is no reason for them to be taken care of by their cousins, not to mention that Jia's mother is no longer around.

The Lin family recovered from the sadness of Jia Mu's death with great difficulty, and the old lady Yu suddenly died without any cause, causing another panic.

The old lady Yu passed away, and Yu Heng and the two uncles reported to Ding You, who was very reluctant.Among them, although Yu Heng is the only grandson of the eldest family, he is actually not the eldest grandson. There is an elder brother above him, who is the grandson who needs to keep his filial piety for three years. , Still decreed to observe filial piety for three years, and brought Daiyu back to the south to help the spirit.

Now that the court is stable and there is no war on the border, Emperor Changqing agreed to Yu Heng's will, and said: "Come back in three years, I have an important errand for you. During these three years, you must not slack off riding Shoot literature and art."

Yu Heng fully agreed and left Beijing.

After seeing them off, Lin Ruhai was unavoidably very lonely and depressed for several days, and today he was looking at Daiyu's small portrait to express his thoughts.
