The Son-in-law of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

Jia Yue knew nothing about the conspiracy of the two old foxes Xiao Qian and Lin Ruhai.

Jia Yue comes from a modern society where "everyone is equal". Jia Yue has no fear of the supreme imperial power. After learning that the Supreme Emperor has proposed marriage to his elder brother, and that his fiancée is a girl from the powerful Xiao family, Jia Yue Yue felt that the Lin family had been cheated by the emperor.

Jia Yue wanted to contribute to the Lin family, but he had just passed his sixth birthday, so he was only seven years old even according to the imaginary age calculation.

A single-digit age, even in ancient times when people matured precociously, was still an age that would not be valued by adults unless...

After the Supreme Emperor married Lin Qian and Xiao Huiyu, within a few days, there was another big news in Shenjing——Prince Zhongshun robbed civilian girls in the street!

As the saying goes, "Establish the son, establish the elder and establish the virtuous", after the abolished prince passed away, there were no more sons among the princes of the Supreme Emperor.

As a result, the Supreme Emperor surpassed Prince Zhongshun, and passed on to the fifth son, who is the current emperor. Because the Supreme Emperor was still alive, Prince Zhongshun did not dare to react radically, calmly accepted the fate of failure, and bowed his head to Emperor Chengrui.

After Emperor Chengrui succeeded to the throne, Prince Zhongshun changed his temper. He enjoyed drinking and watching theaters all day long. The official yelled, "I lost my eye."

On the second day after Prince Zhongshun robbed a civilian girl in the street, there was an imperial censor who impeached Prince Zhongshun, listing [-] crimes including "robbing a civilian girl" and "occupying a residence". It floated into the palace like snowflakes, piled up with the documents in front of the Supreme Emperor.

Lin Mansion, study room.

Lin Ruhai looked at the four sons and one disciple standing in front of him, and asked, "What do you think of Yushi's impeachment of Prince Zhongshun?"

After getting engaged, Lin Qian became more and more calm. Hearing Lin Ruhai's question, Lin Qian thought for a while before answering: "Prince Zhongshun is the son of the Supreme Emperor and the elder brother of the saint. After the Supreme Emperor took the throne, he treats his children, grandchildren, and clan more respectfully." It is not a big deal for the clan princes to be kind and rob people's daughters. The reason why the city is full of storms is because..." Before the Supreme Emperor took the throne, Prince Zhongshun was the heir to the throne that everyone expected, "The Supreme Emperor and the saint should reprimand Prince Loyal and Obedient, as for whether he will be punished or not, my son does not know, father forgives his stupidity."

After Lin Qian finished speaking, Lin Cheng said: "Prince Zhongshun is well-known for being a virtuous man. He used to be a virtuous corporal, and he also had a heart for the world. He has a very good reputation among the people. Now, Prince Zhongshun is robbing the women of the people, and memorials to impeach him are flying all over the sky. But he didn't show any remorse, instead he set up a banquet and took that civilian girl as his concubine... After this incident, Prince Zhongshun's good reputation among the people was completely ruined..."

Next, Lin Zhun and Lin Nuo also expressed their views respectively, and Lin Ruhai nodded with satisfaction. All four of them said something inconsiderate, but it is not uncommon for them to have such insights at their age.

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Yue again. Jia Yue was already seven years old, so Lin Ruhai allowed Jia Yue to listen to some affairs in the court. Although Lin Ruhai didn't think Jia Yue could express any subtle insights, he still asked gently: "Yue Son, what do you think?"

The moment Lin Ruhai mentioned King Zhongshun, Jia Yue realized that this was a good opportunity to gain Lin Ruhai's attention. After thinking about it, Jia Yue made up his mind and said, "Prince Zhongshun is a smart man."

Lin Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, then his face became serious, and he said to Jia Yue, "Go on."

Jia Yue's palms were full of sweat, but he said "calmly": "At the beginning of this year, the Supreme Emperor took the Zen throne, and the saint succeeded the emperor, and changed his Yuan to 'Chengrui'. This year is the first year of Chengrui. After changing Yuan, Prince Zhongshun's temperament changed drastically. He is a different person from the virtuous king from before."

Jia Yue just narrated some facts, but Lin Ruhai, Lin Qian and Lin Cheng all understood what Jia Yue meant.

Lin Ruhai jumped up against the case and shouted sharply, "Who told you this?"

Jia Yue didn't expect Lin Ruhai's reaction to be so intense, and she was taken aback, but she still said, "This disciple came up with it himself."

Lin Ruhai stared at Jia Yue, and said calmly: "Tell me what you think, don't hide it from me, I want to know how you came up with it."

Under the shocked gazes of Lin Ruhai and others, Jia Yue took a deep breath and said eloquently: "After the sage succeeds to the throne, the overall situation has been settled, and the Supreme Emperor is still alive. Naturally, Prince Zhongshun still has the possibility of making a comeback, but the chance is very small. , after the death of Prince Yizhong, today's saint can ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan. It is absolutely extraordinary. After a hundred years of being the emperor, can the saint tolerate Prince Zhongshun who is older than himself, has a better reputation than himself, and is born taller than himself? Prince Zhongshun This move is intended to 'self-pollution', to show that I have no intention of 'replacing it'..."

As a time traveler, Jia Yue still has some advantages—living in the modern society of information explosion for more than 20 years, even a political novice can tell some great truths.

Among the "Top Ten Skills that Travelers Must Possess", the one that ranks first is - "Kan Dashan".

If Lin Ruhai asked Jia Yue "how to govern a party", even if it was a county, Jia Yue would just say he didn't know.

Now, what Lin Ruhai asked was his opinion on "Prince Zhongshun robbing civilian girls in the street". Thanks to the history books he had read, Jia Yue could still express some opinions.

Lin Ruhai, Lin Qian, and Lin Cheng, even if Jia Yue didn't say anything, they understood that King Zhongshun was 'self-pollution to save his life'. Lin Zhun and Lin Nuo were slightly younger, so they didn't think so deeply.

Lin Ruhai had high hopes for Jia Yue, and believed that Jia Yue would definitely become the country's important weapon in the future. However, Jia Yue is only seven years old this year, so she already has such insight... Lin Ruhai stared at Jia Yue's tender face, wondering if he had bumped into her... Great luck, accepting a genius disciple?

Under Lin Ruhai's gaze, Jia Yue broke out in a cold sweat, thinking, "Am I acting too much? Will the teacher regard me as a monster?"

Jia Yue really thinks too much. There is never a shortage of geniuses in the world. Cao Chong called Xiang, Luo Bin Wang Yong'e, Sima Guang smashed the vat, and Gan Luo worshiped as Shangqing at the age of 12. Compared with these real ancient genius children, Jia Yue is not If it is a time traveler, it is far behind.

Lin Ruhai's ability to accept is still very strong. Although he thinks that Jia Yue is "far more intelligent than his peers", he doesn't think Jia Yue is a "monster".

"What you said is very reasonable. It's getting late, and you all have to study tomorrow, so go to bed." Lin Ruhai was stimulated, so he didn't want to teach his son and disciples, and wanted to be alone for a while.

Sitting in the study, Lin Ruhai recalled what Jia Yue said, and finally gave Jia Yue a comment in his heart - "Amazing talents are amazing"!

When Lin Ruhai returned to the main courtyard, he still didn't recover, looking absent-minded.

Seeing Lin Ruhai's appearance, Jia Min asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just discovered a genius."

"Genius?" Jia Min was puzzled.

Lin Ruhai said: "Just now, Yue'er said..." Lin Ruhai told Jia Min exactly what Jia Yue said just now.

Jia Min asked suspiciously: "Is this what Yue'er said? If I remember correctly, Yue'er...is only seven years old this year?"

Lin Ruhai nodded, and said with emotion: "This kid's mind is far superior to those of his peers."

Both of them were silent. They both knew that there were geniuses in this world, but this was the first time they found a gifted child who "does not conform to the growth pattern of children".

A year ago, Daiyu climbed up the tree but did not dare to come down. Jia Yue did not panic and sent someone to inform Jia Min. She also considered what she should do if Jia Min was not around, and let Daiyu return to the tree intact. ground.

Since then,

Lin Ruhai and his wife felt that Jia Yue was "extremely human", but now, Jia Yue gave Lin Ruhai and his wife another surprise. This child is only seven years old, and he has such keen observation skills. He can see the essence of things through phenomena, and even discover The undercurrent hidden under the court hall.

Lin Ruhai and his wife thought to themselves: "So there are really geniuses in this world!"

After a while, Jia Min broke the silence and asked Lin Ruhai: "This child, Yue'er, is so talented that it cannot be seen with common sense. The master plans... how to teach Yue'er?"

Lin Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, and then Jia Min continued to say: "This child, Yue'er, how does the master plan to train him? Since he is a genius, he should teach him well, and don't let Yue'er follow in the footsteps of 'Zhong Yong' and take a wrong path. Road, wasting the aptitude bestowed by God."

Lin Ruhai's complexion changed, and then he said: "Yue'er likes to learn self-discipline, and I'm not a mediocre person like Zhong Yong's father, Yue'er should not take detours, but..." Lin Ruhai began to grind his teeth: "This child is only seven years old. If you dare to talk about the Supreme Emperor and the saints, if you don't strictly discipline them, you will be in trouble sooner or later!"

Both Lin Qian and Lin Cheng saw that Prince Zhongshun was "polluted to save his life", but they didn't say it directly, but pointed it out cryptically.

In this era, "discussing the state affairs indiscriminately" is a serious crime. Even if the aristocratic families discuss the state affairs behind their backs, they will not speak so bluntly, but express their views in a subtle way—the words are tight, but all participants can understand The true meaning in the words made people who didn't know it listen to it, and they would praise "what a virtuous minister with the world in mind".

Because, although the founding emperor of this dynasty abolished the Dongchang, he retained the Jinyiwei, and the professional ability of the Jinyiwei is obvious to all...

Therefore, Jia Yue is still a little tender, and he is still a thousand miles away from the title of "qualified politician".

Lin Ruhai said to Jia Min: "Mrs. Xie reminded me, I didn't think of it."

Jia Min shook his head and said: "Yue'er has a bleak life experience, and he is very sensible at a young age. It is really distressing. I watched him grow up. I naturally hope that he can become a pillar of the country and leave his name in history." .”

On this day, Jia Yue was studying with her wrist hanging in the room. Although her arm was extremely sore, she didn't drop it, but insisted on finishing an article.

After finishing writing, although the weather was not too hot, Jia Yue's forehead was covered with sweat. The big girl next to Jia Yue, Xuebi, hurriedly took out a handkerchief, trying to wipe Jia Yue's sweat.

"No, I'll do it myself, go get me a glass of water." Jia Yue ordered Sprite while wiping off her sweat with a handkerchief.

Xuebi said "yes", then turned around to pour tea, but she was very puzzled.

In Xuebi's eyes, this "Uncle Yue" is a very strange person. The master and wife treat him like a parent and child, and treat him the same as the serious young master and miss of the Lin family. There are rough girls and women.

However, although this "Uncle Yue" also ordered girls like Xuebi to serve him tea, make clothes and sew purses, he never let them serve him personally. For example, Uncle Yue dressed himself every morning, never Don't need girls to wait on you.

That day, Xuebi couldn't help asking why, and this "Uncle Yue" said: "I don't want to become a useless person who can't even wear clothes and shoes."

Xuebi didn't understand, and thought: "The young masters and young ladies of rich families are all like this, why is Uncle Yue different from them?"

At this time, a young man entered the yard, Xuebi recognized him, knew that he was someone who could be used by the master, and hurriedly asked, "Why are you here?"

The young man said: "Sister Xuebi, the master asked Uncle Yue to go to the study, is Uncle Yue there?"

Jia Yue heard the voice, hurried out and said, "Wait a while, I'll change my clothes and go."

Jia Yue changed her clothes and followed the boy to the study.

Lin Mansion, study room.

After Lin Ruhai saw Jia Yue, he waved his hand and ordered all the bookboys and servants in the study to retreat, and then asked, "What were you doing just now?"

Jia Yue replied: "Disciple Xi Shu, I was practicing calligraphy just now."

Lin Ruhai said: "Your handwriting is already in shape, and your body has not yet matured. No matter how talented you are, no matter how hard you practice, you will not be able to become a famous artist. You must not aim too high and hurt your body."

Jia Yue bowed and said, "My disciple will keep this in mind."

Lin Ruhai said again: "Yue'er, what you said that day seems to have unfinished meaning, you and I are master and apprentice, so just say what you want, the master will not blame you."

That day, after Jia Yue said those words, Lin Ruhai didn't react at all, and Jia Yue didn't know what Lin Ruhai was thinking.

Up until now, Jia Yue didn't dare to play tricks with Lin Ruhai. He took a deep breath and said, "Master, please give me the pen and ink. If I have any questions, I would like to ask the teacher."

Lin Ruhai was puzzled, but still nodded.

Jia Yue picked up the brush and wrote a word on the rice paper. It was in Guange style. Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and nodded. This child is very talented in calligraphy. At a young age, the handwriting has a bit of strength .

Then, Lin Ruhai's expression changed, and with a force in his hand, he pulled off a few beards. Although it was painful, Lin Ruhai's eyes were fixed on Jia Yue's writing, and his eyes were full of shock...

"Today's sage, who came from a humble background, whose mother's family is not visible, was once the arm of the deposed prince, worked like a dog and horse for the deposed prince, after the emperor deposed the prince, he promoted the sage to be a prince... The sage, magnanimous and humble, served the emperor with great filial piety, Be very respectful to my elder brother. At the beginning of this year, I took the throne of the Supreme Emperor and became the emperor. When I first received political training, I was respectful and respectful...The former crown prince, King Zhongshun and the saint changed places, and the Supreme Emperor must depose him...The saint can bear it, but the first prince, King Zhongshun can't bear it, how does the saint compare with the former crown prince and King Zhongshun?..."

"There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the people. Now, the two sages stand side by side, and the teacher is the minister of the household department, with a high position and authority. How should I choose?..."

"Old Xiao Ge, the chief assistant of the cabinet, the nameless 'prime minister', in charge of the cabinet, the six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple, the power in his hands is far more important than that of a saint... Disciple reads the history books, the master is weak and the minister is strong, and the minister must deceive the master , is a sign of the country's subjugation, and is not to be taken... Power ministers, keep their duties, respect saints, and there will be no good end. After a hundred years from the Supreme Emperor, if Xiao Ge is deposed by a saint, how will master and senior brothers deal with themselves?..."

Lin Ruhai has been an official for many years, and he has already cultivated the ability of "Mount Tai collapses in front of him without changing his color". Now, seeing the slightly immature handwriting in front of him, Lin Ruhai's expression changed drastically, and a storm surged in his heart. Staring at his only disciple, he said dryly, "I don't even know the answer as a teacher."

Jia Yue lifted the hem of her clothes, knelt down on the ground, and said, "I know that these questions are not for disciples to ask, but... without the kindness of master and wife, there would be no disciples today, and disciples may still be honored." Bullied by others in the government, no elders to care for, and no famous teacher to teach... The master often teaches his disciples, 'The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring', which is what a gentleman does. This disciple is willing to do his best for Master and Mistress..."

"Using history as a mirror, we can know the ups and downs. After studying the history, I came up with these three questions. I knew in my heart what kind of crisis the Lin family was facing. I didn't know the answer, but I was willing to find the answer for Master and his wife to help the Lin family through the crisis. "

Lin Ruhai sighed and said, "Get up."

Jia Yue stood up, stood there respectfully, Lin Ruhai sighed, and said: "You are very talented, your mind is far beyond your peers, and you can read your own things from history books. Given time, you will become a big Qi... However, you are still young, the most important thing for you is to study hard and lay a solid foundation, otherwise, you will definitely regret it in the future!"

At the end, Lin Ruhai's tone was extremely severe, causing Jia Yue to straighten her back even more, and said loudly, "This disciple will not disappoint Master."

Lin Ruhai said again: "It's good that you understand, your chest

Although there are thousands of gaps in the world, you are still a child. You promised to be a teacher, you must learn to 'hide your clumsiness', don't show your talent in front of outsiders, otherwise, if someone who is jealous attacks you, the consequences will be disastrous..."

"In addition, as a teacher, I don't want you to take detours, and I don't want you to take an evil path. You can remember a sentence for my teacher-be a man before doing something, and be a man before being a man. I hope you will keep this sentence in mind. As a teacher... I hope you can be a good person."

Jia Yue asked suspiciously, "Good guy?"

Lin Ruhai nodded solemnly, and said: "Being a teacher is not to let you be a good person who 'forgets selfishness', but to let you be a person with a conscience, with a bottom line in your heart, knowing what you can do and what you can't do. You may not understand the truth now, but you must keep this sentence in your heart. In the future, when you encounter difficulties with difficult choices, read this sentence several times, and you may understand the meaning of being a teacher. Painful... If a human being has no bottom line, what is the difference between him and an animal?"

After hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Jia Yue trembled all over, and then her eyes were red and moist, and Jia Yue choked up and said, "Master, 'be a man before doing things, and be a man before being a man', disciples will keep this sentence in mind, Disciples will follow your example, be a good person, and be a good person useful to the country!"

Lin Ruhai smiled gratifiedly, and said, "Go back and do your homework."

Lin Mansion, main courtyard.

Lin Ruhai stepped into the main courtyard, and saw a middle-aged woman walking towards the opposite side, dressed in silk and satin, wearing pearls and jade gold hairpins, she looked like the wife of an official family, Lin Ruhai was shocked, and thought that this person was Jia Min's guest hurriedly tried to avoid it, but saw the woman salute to him: "Greetings to my aunt."

Lin Ruhai paused and asked, "Who are you?"

The woman said: "This servant is a servant of the Rongguo Mansion, and is the companion of the second wife. The husband of this servant is Zhou Rui. On the order of the old lady and the wife, I came to pay my respects to my aunt."

Knowing that the woman in front of her was just a servant, Lin Ruhai frowned and said, "Go down."

Lin Ruhai raised his legs and entered the room. Seeing Jia Min sitting on the kang, leaning on a big pillow, with a faint smile on his face, he asked, "Who upset you?"

Jia Min sneered, and said, "It's the second sister-in-law of my natal family who sent someone to greet us."

Lin Ruhai heard Jia Min mention "Mrs. Wang", thinking that Mrs. Wang sent Yuan Chun to the palace to fight for wealth and honor, causing Lin Qian's marriage to suffer a twist, almost... Lin Ruhai was extremely disgusted, and asked: "What did she send someone for? "

Jia Min was silent for a while, and said: "Pearl's illness has been bad. Although it's not serious, it can't hurt your mind. However, reading is the most exhausting thing, so neither mother nor second sister-in-law want Zhu'er to take the imperial examination. Now, I want to donate an official position to Zhu'er, so that Zhu'er's wife and Lan'er can be more decent."

Lin Ruhai asked: "Is this asking to come to our house?"

Jia Min nodded and said: "Yes, although she is a donating official, but my second sister-in-law has a high vision, she said that Zhu'er is a scholar, although she didn't have a high school, she has real talents and learning, and she wants Zhu'er to be a dignified and dignified person." Most of the people who associate with my natal family are old friends left by my father, and most of them are from Wu Xun's family, so it is up to us."

Jia Min hated Mrs. Wang very much. Because of what Mrs. Wang did to Lin Qian, Jia Min wanted to tear Mrs. Wang alive.

Although Jia Zhu is Mrs. Wang's son, Jia Min did not take his anger out on him. To Jia Min, Mrs. Wang is an outsider, but Jia Zhu is her nephew. Big one, now that Jia Zhu is useless, Jia Min also sighs for him, hoping he can be more decent.

Jia Min sighed, then looked up at Lin Ruhai, hoping that Lin Ruhai could come up with an idea.

Lin Ruhai said: "Zhu'er is a good boy, it's a pity, if it's someone else, it's okay to help, but I can't help him with this 'donation official'."

Jia Min sighed again and said, "In that case, I'll tell my mother that we can't help."

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Min's tired face, and said softly, "I made it difficult for you."

Jia Min shook her head: "Master's words make me ashamed."

Jia Min said again: "Master, there is one more thing, I need you to make up your mind... My natal family wants Yue'er to go back to live."

Lin Ruhai suppressed the smile on his face and asked, "What's going on?"

Jia Min said: "Before Yue'er worshiped you as a teacher, she lived in my natal family and lived with my second elder brother and second sister-in-law. The second sister-in-law said that she missed Yue'er and wanted Yue'er to go back to live. She also said that Yue'er was the great grandfather. The direct descendants of the family should naturally live in the Rongguo Mansion."

Lin Ruhai didn't even think about it, so she refused: "No, Yue'er can't go back, if she goes back, what will happen to Yue'er's homework?"

Lin Ruhai said again: "That's right, although Yue'er is the direct descendant of Duke Rong of the first generation and a serious young master of the Rongguo Mansion, in terms of relationship, Yue'er is closer to us than to your natal family."

Jia Min replied: "That's what I said too, but I didn't expect... the person who wants Yue'er to return to Rongguo Mansion is not the second sister-in-law, but Yu'er."

Lin Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Yu'er?"

Jia Min smiled wryly and said, "It's Yu'er, who hit it off with Yue'er at first sight, arguing to study with Yue'er, and begged to my mother, you know, my mother dotes on Yu'er very much, so she agreed ..."

Jia Yu wanted to marry Sister Lin as his wife, and regarded Jia Yue as a competitor. Jia Yu's move was to separate Jia Yue from Sister Lin. Lin Ruhai and his wife, let him also become Lin Ruhai's disciple...

Lin Ruhai has also heard about what happened in Rongguo Mansion: Rongguo Mansion is headed by the second house, the second house lives in Rongxi Hall, the eldest house lives in the east courtyard, and another black oil door is opened...

If he had no relatives with Rongguo Mansion, Lin Ruhai would not look at Rongguo Mansion with a straight eye. Seeing what Rongguo Mansion has done, Lin Ruhai would feel ashamed of them.

Although it is said that "old and young are orderly", the rules are made by people, and there are always exceptions.

Because the eldest son is not successful, the title of the family business is inherited by the second son who is vigorous. Although this kind of thing is relatively rare, it is not uncommon.

However, this situation is usually decided by the elders. The elders are the masters, suppressing the ineffective eldest son, and passing the title of family business to the capable second son-in order to maintain the prosperity of the family.

Jia Daishan passed on the family property and title to Jia She, which means that Jia Daishan approved the fact that Jia She inherited the Rongguo Mansion. The Rongguo Mansion belonged to Jia She. It is said that Jia Daishan has a bad vision.

However, Jia's mother put her husband's decision aside, thinking that the second room could revitalize Rongguo Mansion, and relied on "filial piety" to suppress Jia Amnesty and let Jia Zheng become the head of Rongguo Mansion. Forget it, in the end, although this Jia Zheng was slightly better than Jia She, he was still out of tune...

If Jia Zheng was up-to-date, became an important minister by virtue of his talent, suppressed the big house, and revitalized the Rongguo Mansion, Lin Ruhai would only admire his ability and courage. The magpie's nest occupied the Hall of Honor...

The heart of the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion is well known to the world.

Lin Ruhai sighed, and said to himself, "How could someone as smart and capable as my father-in-law have such relatives." Lin Ruhai respected Jia Daishan very much, and thinking about the restless people in the Rongguo Mansion, the only thing Lin Ruhai could do was A moment of silence for my father-in-law.

Lin Ruhai thought to himself: "If I know what the Rongguo Mansion is like, kill me, and I... want to marry Min'er too!"

Lin Ruhai really doesn't want to have relatives from the Rongguo Mansion. If he can be reborn, even if he knows that Jia Daishan can help him to rise to the top, he doesn't want to marry the Rongguo Mansion, but... if he doesn't marry the Rongguo Mansion, his beloved wife, Will marry another man, why not

A man who has children, perhaps, his children will still call other men "father"...

Lin Ruhai gritted his teeth and said: "For Min'er, for Yu'er and the others, I recognize the stomach-ache relatives in Rongguo Mansion! However, Miner is my wife, a member of our Lin family, and has nothing to do with Rongguo Mansion. relation!"

For Jia Yue, Lin Ruhai placed high hopes on Jia Yue, hoping that Jia Yue would grow into a "pillar of the country". Naturally, he would not agree to let Jia Yue return to the Rongguo Mansion. If Jia Yue's sapling grew crooked, Lin Ruhai would have nowhere to cry.

Although Lin Ruhai was extremely dissatisfied with the Rongguo Mansion, he couldn't tell Jia Min directly...

Lin Ruhai thought for a while, and said to Jia Min: "I want Yue'er to be my apprentice, what do you think?"

After Jia Min thought about it, she felt that this reason was very good, so she said: "This child, Yue'er, will definitely not embarrass you, and the disciple who entered the room will naturally do it."

At that time, Jia Yue was just a child who "didn't know big characters". The reason why Lin Ruhai accepted him as a disciple was because of the eight characters given to him by the lame Taoist - "Don't leave, don't give up, the years will last forever", and Dai The words "Don't lose, don't forget, immortal life and prosperity" on the jade's psychic jade are like a pair.

At that time, although Jia Yue was precocious, she hadn't read a book yet, and she didn't know if she had any talent on the way to study. Therefore, Lin Ruhai only accepted Jia Yue as a registered student.

After several years of observation, Lin Ruhai already knew Jia Yue's talent, character, and talent very well, so Lin Ruhai decided to accept Jia Yue as his disciple.

In this era, the relationship between disciples and teachers is like "father and son". After Jia Yue became Lin Ruhai's disciple, the relationship with Lin's family became closer. If Mother Jia insisted on letting Jia Yue return to Rongguo Mansion, The Lin family also said that it was only natural for a disciple whose parents died to live in the teacher's house.

After Jia Yue becomes Lin Ruhai's apprentice, there is another advantage, that is... Let alone seven years old, even if he is 14 or 28 years old, as long as Jia Yue gets along with Jia Min and Daiyu, there are other people around him If you are not alone, it is not considered a violation of etiquette, and it will not have a negative impact on Jia Min's reputation and Daiyu's boudoir reputation...

It has been nearly a hundred years since the founding of this dynasty, and the once clean officialdom has become very dirty, and "donating officials" has become a common phenomenon in officialdom.

"Donating officials" is also known as donating, and scholars and civilians can get titles and official positions by donating money and goods to the country.

Jia Lian, the eldest son of the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, had the official position of "Tongzhi" on his body, which was "donated" with money. Jia Lian was ignorant and had no fame. A thousand taels of silver bought a false job.

To this day, "official donations" are rampant, and there are official vacancies such as magistrates and county magistrates, and the prices are clearly marked. As long as you pay enough money, you can become an official.

As the saying goes, the three-year Qing magistrate, [-] snowflakes of silver, buy a prefect needs several thousand taels of silver, but the magistrate's salary is less than a hundred taels, in order to get back the money consumed by "donating officials" as soon as possible, most officials will choose to embezzle Taking bribes, regardless of the life and death of the people under the rule, just making money, leading to the collapse of the government, the people are in dire straits, and thieves are rampant...

The flood of donations has made officials blatantly embezzle and accept bribes, and corruption has become a trend in officialdom...

For "donating officials", Lin Ruhai hates it deeply, but there is nothing he can do. Even Xiao Qian, who has been the chief assistant of the cabinet for 20 years, although he intends to abolish the "donating officials" system, he is powerless - there are too many forces involved behind the "donating officials" I can only open one eye and close the other eye.

In the end, the Rongguo Mansion "donated" a regular sixth-rank position in the Ministry of Rites for Jia Zhu, and it was unknown how much money it cost.

On this day, Jia Zhu brought his wife Li Wan and son Jia Lan to the Lin family to visit his uncle and aunt.

Jia Zhu and Lin Ruhai went to the study, while Li Wan led his son to talk to Jia Min.

Li Wan is a 20-year-old young woman. She is extremely young and is the most beautiful age for a woman. Although her color is not the best, her temperament is extremely outstanding. The bookish atmosphere makes people unconsciously want to get close to her.

Jia Min looked at Li Wan's youthful face and sighed in his heart. Li Wan's background and appearance were both excellent. Jia Zhu was born in the Duke's Mansion, and was the eldest grandson of Jia Daishan in the Rongguo Mansion. .

Jia Zhu and Li Wan are in the same family, Jia Zhu is handsome, and Li Wan is charming, anyone who sees them will also give a compliment as "fairy of the gods".

But who would have thought that Jia Zhu got seriously ill a few years ago and nearly died of it. Now, even though he is cured, the imperial doctor said: "Don't hurt your spirit, or your life will be in danger." Life and death ruined a good future, and even...weakened , can't get close to women!

Jia Min shook Li Wan's hand and said, "This is your luck, and it will be even better in the future." It is said that Jia Zhu got a six-rank official position, and Li Wan also got a six-rank imperial order.

Li Wan said with a smile, "Borrow my aunt."

Jia Min sighed again in his heart, but didn't say anything.

Li Wan's husband is a sick seedling with a ruined future. He has been widowed at a young age. He has only one seedling under his knees, but he doesn't know if he can live to adulthood... In Jia Min's view, the smile on Li Wan's face, It's a forced smile.

Jia Min opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. The man who ruined Li Wan's life was her nephew.

Jia Min hugged Li Wan's son Jia Lan in her arms, and said with a smile: "Lan'er is just at an active age, don't hold him back, I'll let the maids take him out to play."

After all, Jia Min waved to Yudie and asked her to take Jialan out to play. Yudie smiled and said, "Master Xiaolan, I will take you to see the rabbit, okay?"

Jia Lan was only three years old, and she was chubby. After hearing Yudie's good words, Jia Lan's fat face showed a trace of curiosity, and asked, "Is it that white and soft big white rabbit?"

The little girl Yudie held back her smile and said, "Yes, Master Xiaolan, let's go with the servant girl."

Jia Lan turned to look at her mother, and Li Wan smiled and said, "Go ahead, aren't you clamoring for rabbits? Your aunt has a lot of rabbits here."

With her mother's consent, Jia Lan couldn't wait to jump off the soft couch, and ran out of the house on her fat legs. Yudie followed, shouting as she ran, "Master Xiaolan, slow down."

Jia Min held Li Wan's hand and said to her, "Lan'er is very clever. I heard that he can already recognize hundreds of characters. Your luck is yet to come."

Li Wan nodded and said with a smile: "Auntie, you don't need to say any more. I understand what you mean. I have a husband and a son. I like such an ordinary and peaceful life."

Li Wan is telling the truth, she really likes her life now.

According to the rules of the Rongguo Mansion, before men get married, they have to put two maids in the room. After Jia Zhu and Li Wan got married, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang each chose another maid and put them in Jia Zhu's room.

Jia Zhu and Li Wan are newlyweds, they have a very good relationship, they have never blushed, Li Wan is very satisfied, but sometimes, looking at those delicate girls in the house, Li Wan feels extremely glaring.

Li Wan is a woman, so she naturally hoped that her husband would be like Jia Zhu's uncle, Lin Ruhai, who would not take concubines or maidservants, and live his life wholeheartedly.

After Li Wan learned that Jia Zhu's future was ruined and she could not get close to women, she suddenly felt that the sky was falling.

During that time, although Jia Zhu was still the same in front of outsiders, Jia Zhu changed at home and in front of Li Wan. rude.

At that time, Li Wan had just finished confinement, and Jia Lan was still an infant. Seeing her husband's temperament changed drastically, Li Wan was really desperate.

However, things turned around. Just two years ago, Jia Zhu finally walked out of the shadow of "destroyed future" and "ridden disease". When Jia Zhu said to Li Wan with red eyes, "I'm sorry,

These days are hard for you," Li Wan hugged Jia Zhu and wept bitterly.

After stepping out of the shadows, Jia Zhu became more amiable than before. The happy days gave Li Wan a feeling of "as if a lifetime away".

Jia Zhu is very talented in his studies. Even Li Wan's father, Li Shouzhong, said so. Li Wan's father-in-law, Jia Zheng, has high hopes for Jia Zhu and is extremely strict with Jia Zhu. It was very late, and the time Li Wan and Jia Zhu spent together was very short.

Today, Jia Zhu "can't
