Reincarnation of Soul Cultivation 2

On college vacation days, Lin Jing rode a donkey and walked through the streets and alleys of the city with her classmates, visiting bookstores and cultural and entertainment shops, or eating some well-known folk snacks, and drinking some rice wine with her classmates. fun of.

As for why she didn't ride a horse, but a donkey, Lin Jing was doing as the Romans did.

More than half of the students in the academy are from well-to-do families, and they all have carriages for travel, so they can't afford horses.However, for a single student living in the academy, it is too troublesome to equip a carriage for travel, because a groom driving the carriage is also required, and the servants cannot follow the master into the academy, so It is also necessary to prepare a place to live for the servants and grooms who come to serve.

For various reasons, it is very troublesome to equip the academy with carriages.

And if it is equipped with a horse alone, it is also feasible.However, horses are much more expensive than mounts such as mules and donkeys. Not only must they be carefully fed, but they must also be taken out for a run often, otherwise the horse will live an unhappy life, lose weight, or be depressed.It is also a hassle for busy students.

Unlike donkeys and mules, they are very easy to feed, as long as they have forage and feed them regularly.

Moreover, mounts and the like are only useful when the students are on vacation. During the one-day vacation, the students can go to the city at most, and it is impossible to go far.Because the ancient city planning was not neat, the width of the streets and alleys was different, and the horses were not as light and easy to use as the donkeys to shuttle through them.

So not long after Lin Jing entered the academy, she followed her classmates to the cattle and horse market to buy a gentle donkey for occasional transportation.For this reason, Daiyu specially made a playful and lovely picture of "Lin Jing riding a donkey and reading" for Lin Jing.

The Lin family was divided into two groups. Lin Ruhai lived in the Imperial College in Beijing, and Jia Min lived in Jiangnan with his two children.After Daiyu and Ji were married, Jia Min married his daughter at his home in the south of the Yangtze River.

After Daiyu got married, she and her husband had the same temperament and got along very well. The love between husband and wife was perfect, which made Jia Min feel at ease.In addition, Lin Jing is also very stable in the academy, and with the support of Daiyu and his wife, Jia Min has nothing to worry about.

Jia Min felt relieved about the pair of children, so she decided to go to the capital to reunite with her husband Lin Ruhai.Lin Ruhai was always left alone in the capital, and no one cared about his daily life, so she was not at ease.

At this time, news came from the capital that the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun in the palace had passed away, and immediately after that, the Jiajia Ningrong Second Mansion in the capital was ransacked by the emperor.

For this reason, Lin Ruhai specially sent a letter asking Jia Min not to enter the capital for the time being.

On the one hand, Jia Min is worried about her natal family, and on the other hand, she is also worried about whether the affairs of Jia's family will involve her in-laws, the Lin family. It can be said that she is very anxious.

Lin Ruhai was caught between the Supreme Emperor and Jinshang for more than ten years, and Jia Min had been by Lin Ruhai's side all the time, so she also knew the emperor's style of dealing with things very well.

Now the emperor has decreed that the Jia family ransacked their home and imprisoned, which shows that the Jia family has no room for change with the emperor.Those who broke the law in the Jia family will definitely be investigated. Once the property in the family is confiscated, there is no way to get it back.

All that is left to do is to wait and see, how many people does the emperor want to implicate?Will he be lenient to the innocent women, children and juniors of the Jia family?

At this time, Lin Ruhai asked Jia Min not to go to Beijing for the time being, because he didn't want the Lin family to attract the emperor's attention and get involved together.

As for how much he can help the Jia family?Lin Ruhai really didn't have that face in front of the emperor.

As a talented Tanhualang and a meritorious official in the salt administration, Lin Ruhai has been neglected and neglected by the emperor. He is a teacher in the Imperial College who is not involved in government affairs, and he can speak for the guilty relatives in front of the emperor. What should I say?

Lin Ruhai was just waiting to see the outcome of this case. If the Jia family had women, children and juniors who were pardoned by the emperor, then it is still possible for him to help settle these people as an in-law.

Even if Jia Min, the daughter of Mrs. Jia, is here, there is only so much she can do.

Lin Ruhai didn't want Jia Min to enter the capital at this time, but he didn't want Jia Min, a daughter of the Jia family, to stab His Majesty the Emperor in this special period.I thought the Lin family was going to do something to help the Jia family reverse the case.

The Jia family's case was tried very quickly. The Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Dali Temple seemed to be well prepared, and they had prepared sufficient evidence for the crime, leaving no room for the Jia family to reverse the case.

So the men in charge of the Jia family, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Zhen, and Jia Rong were all found guilty and exiled to various frontier places.And the juniors of the Jia family who were not in charge, such as Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Cong, and Jia Lan, had nothing to do with the crimes of the Jia family, and they did not bully men and women on weekdays, so they were all acquitted. .

As for the women of the Jia family, except for the second wife, Wang, who received the property entrusted by the Zhen family before the ransacking, and the second wife, Wang Xifeng, who was found guilty of lending usury, the other female family members were all acquitted.

It's a pity that Mrs. Jia died of illness in prison, and the remaining female family members are the eldest wife Xing.But the Xing family can't afford it, and there is only Jia Cong left in the big house, and he can't afford it, and a bastard can't represent the Jia family.

The two daughter-in-laws of the second room, Li Wan and Xue Baochai, are both shrewd and capable, but Li Wan has always been a person who has nothing to do with himself.Because she was a chaste woman, she was returned the dowry by the government, so she took her son Jia Lan and the dowry back to her natal family, and didn't care about these matters of Jia's family.

So in the end it was Xue Baochai who became the family, took the women and children of the Jia family to live in the farm supported by the Lin family, and lived slowly.

After the case of the Jia family was settled, Jia Min said goodbye to his son and daughter and went to Beijing to reunite with Lin Ruhai.

After Jia Min entered Beijing, she immediately went to the funeral of her mother, Mrs. Jia, to apologize. It wasn't that she didn't run around for her natal family, but that the Lin family couldn't do anything about it.

The rest of the Jia family lived in a farm in the outskirts of Beijing. They were clothed in plain clothes and lived very simply.

The Jia family has a farm donated by the Lin family, and relatives and friends in the past have also helped to some extent, so the Jia family can be said to have no worries about food and clothing.

However, Xue Baochai is very aware of current affairs. She believes that since the Jia family has been convicted and has become a commoner, they should live a commoner life.

Therefore, most of the Jia family's money was used to buy new land and rent it out to others for cultivation, instead of spending the money on improving basic necessities of life.

Although the members of Jia's family do not need to cultivate the land like farmers, they have become a class of small landlords with a lot of land under the support of relatives and old relatives.But they usually do some small tasks by themselves, and there are no more girls who are close to them to help with dressing and dressing.

That is, some rough work such as washing and cooking were only done by two capable servants.

If another member of the Jia family is in charge, they may not be able to accept the difference in status for a while, and may continue to live the life of the noble mansion in the old days, and will not find a way until all the money and favors from the old people are spent. Live the life of an ordinary boss.

But Xue Baochai, who is shrewd and knowledgeable about current affairs, is in charge of the family. The Jia family did not waste money and favors, and lived their lives directly.

This made the relatives, friends and old friends who helped and helped the Jia family feel more fond of the juniors of the Jia family.

For example, the Lin family, because they are the real in-laws of the Jia family, did not help when the Jia family was inquiring about the crime, so when the innocent people of the Jia family were released from prison, they gave them money and land, and settled these Jia families properly. family.

But if Jia's family can't get along and spend all their money and continue to ask the Lin family for help, the Lin family can help three or five times, but they won't help forever.After all, Jia Lin belonged to two families, so the love and the morality of helping were limited.

But now that the Jia family is living a life without making any extra demands on the Lin family, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min have a good impression of the juniors of the Jia family, thinking that they are not as confused as Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen. Still know something.So I am willing to continue to help them in the future.

And this is Xue Baochai's purpose, she doesn't want to spend all the favors of these relatives, friends and old friends, so that she won't be able to ask for help if something really happens in the future.

It's not easy for ordinary people to live. If they don't want to be blackmailed and intimidated by local hooligans and country officials, the Jia family and these relatives and friends who are still officials and officials have to get along well, leave favors, and ask for help at critical times.

In addition, although the younger generations of the Jia family were unable to take the imperial examination because of the crimes committed by the elders, if the imperial court pardoned the crimes of the elders of the Jia family, the Jia family would be able to take the imperial examination again.

And if you want to have a future in the imperial examination or even as an official, you will be inseparable from the support of these relatives and friends in the future.

The Jia family has fallen so far, only the imperial examination is the only way for the Jia family to get back up in the future.

Therefore, no matter whether it is Li Wan in her natal family to Jia Lan, or Xue Baochai in Jia's family to Jia Baoyu, they are always urging them to study and not letting them bother with trivial matters in life.

In addition, Jia Cong and Jia Huan, because Mrs. Xing didn't care about things and Aunt Zhao was sold out, and no one cared about their studies, they completely gave up studying and imperial examinations.Usually, he obeys Xue Baochai's order, and does some errands to collect rent, or things that require a man to come forward.

After the matter of the Jia family was settled, the Lin family became less and less noticeable in the capital.The emperor wants to investigate other lawless nobles, and it has nothing to do with the Lin family. Except for the Jia family who is the Lin family's in-laws, these four kings and eight princes are not very close to the Lin family.

Lin Daiyu's married life in Jiangnan is also very smooth, because Lin Jing is by her side, so the meritorious treasure can absorb negative factors at any time. Lin Daiyu's health has always been good, and she has never been sick. After marriage, she also gave birth to children smoothly Girl, nothing went wrong.

Lin Jing, on the other hand, didn't take the exam again after passing the Juren exam.Because His Majesty is still in power now, with his indifferent treatment of the Lin family, even if Lin Jing is admitted as a Jinshi, it is hard to say whether he will be dispatched to some remote village to become an official, or sent to some unpopular yamen, and he will never have a bright future in his life.

For this reason, Lin Ruhai decided to ask Lin Jing to suspend the imperial examinations and continue studying until the next emperor succeeds, and then check the direction of the wind.If it is suitable, Lin Jing will wait until then to take the Jinshi examination and become the emperor's disciple of the next emperor.

Therefore, Lin Jing also finished her marriage in Jiangnan and continued to study in the academy.

The Lin family has been divided into two groups for a long time. Lin Daiyu and Lin Jing are both married in Jiangnan and have lived in Jiangnan for a long time.Lin Ruhai and his wife lived a low-key life in the capital.

The Lin family has been passed down for several generations, and they have no relatives in the capital, and the in-laws Jia's family has completely declined. Lin Ruhai and his wife have no relatives in the capital that need to be moved around.

There are only two or three official friends who are also treated coldly by the emperor. In order not to give the emperor the impression of being together, they usually do not move around frequently.The Lin family is really low-key in Beijing. It can't be any more low-key.
