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

In the sixth year of Chengrui's reign, on the fifth day of April, Xiao Qian was promoted to the Grand Master of Zhongji Hall, and was granted the title of "Taishi", and no longer served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

In the sixth year of Chengrui's reign, on April [-]th, Lin Hai was transferred to be Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and was granted the title of "Shaoshi" in Jin Dynasty.

This dynasty followed the Ming system and established a cabinet. The chief of the cabinet was called a "big scholar" and had the right to draft edicts and approve and answer memorials on behalf of the emperor. power.

The chief assistant of the cabinet, although in the name of "Prime Minister", has the reality of "Prime Minister".

The Grand Scholars are official positions of the fifth grade, and there is no fixed number of staff. They are all named after the halls and pavilions. There are "four halls and two pavilions" in this dynasty, namely, the Grand Scholars of the Zhongji Hall, the Grand Scholars of the Jianji Hall, the Grand Scholars of the Wenhua Hall, and the Wuying Hall. Dian University Bachelor, Wenyuan Pavilion University Bachelor, Dongge University Bachelor.

Zhongjidian University Bachelor ranks first among the "Diange University Bachelors".

In this dynasty, there were three gongs, that is, the collective names of the three positions of Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao, all of which were of the first grade. The head is also the head of the hundred officials.

Today, Xiao Qian's official position is "Scholar of Zhongji Temple, Taishi and Taifu", "A minister of the highest rank" and "below one person, above ten thousand people", which are the true portrayal of Xiao Qian today.

The Supreme Emperor ordered Lin Hai to take over as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and conferred the post of "Young Master". Lin Ruhai was only forty years old, and he was a first-rank official, in charge of the Ministry of Officials... Anyone with a discerning eye understands that Lin Ruhai will become the new head of the cabinet after Xiao Qian auxiliary.

For a while, Lin Ruhai became a "hot" figure in Shenjing.

After learning that she failed the ranking, Jia Yue was a little disappointed, but she understood that this was a normal thing. Jia Yue thought to herself, "I must have been in a daze before..."

Today, Jia Yue is a Juren and only 11 years old, but there is still a world of difference between him and the beloved daughter of Lin Ruhai, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and a young teacher, the future chief assistant of the cabinet.

For Jia Yue, "being an official through the imperial examination" is his only way out. Now, there are still three years before the next examination.

Three years later, Jia Yue would be considered a Jinshi in high school. At that time, Daiyu was already 13 years old, and she might have already been engaged...

Jia Yue racked her brains, but she couldn't think of a way to allow herself to have the capital worthy of Daiyu in just three years.

Now, the only way before Jia Yue is to "ask Lin Ruhai and his wife to marry Daiyu", hoping that a piece of pie will fall from the sky.

Although Jia Yue knew the chances were slim, she didn't give up, because Daiyu was Jia Yue's first love, and Jia Yue felt that if she gave up, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

On this day, Daiyu went to Changle Grand Princess Mansion, but Lin Ruhai rested at home. Jia Yue came to Lin Ruhai's study with a mentality similar to "going to die".

In fact, Jia Yue shouldn't say this kind of thing by himself, he should let the elders in the family come to discuss with Lin Ruhai. However, both of Jia Yue's parents died, and the elders closest to him are Lin Ruhai and his wife, followed by everyone in the Rongguo Mansion. ——Jia Mu, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang.

Jia Yue has read the original work of the Red Chamber, and she is very clear about the fact that Jia's mother wanted Daiyu to marry Rongguo Mansion...

Therefore, Jia Yue felt that even if it was against the rules, she could not propose to marry Daiyu through the Rongguo Mansion, otherwise, there would be no hope at all.

Lin Ruhai was very surprised by Jia Yue's arrival, and asked, "Yue'er, why are you here, but what problems did you encounter?" After speaking, Lin Ruhai made preparations to answer Jia Yue's doubts.

Jia Yue opened her mouth, but said nothing, the expression on her face was extremely solemn...

This expression made Lin Ruhai think crookedly.

In the first year of Chengrui, Jia Yue successfully fooled Lin Ruhai, leaving an impression of a "genius child" in Lin Ruhai's heart.

Since then, Lin Ruhai never dared to treat Jia Yue as a child again, and often asked Jia Yue's views on government affairs. Because of Jia Yue's lack of experience, she often made some common-sense mistakes, but sometimes, Jia Yue could say something. The thought-provoking words benefited Lin Ruhai a lot.

Lin Ruhai attached great importance to Jia Yue. Now, Jia Yue's solemn expression made Lin Ruhai think that Jia Yue had made a new discovery.

Therefore, Lin Ruhai suppressed the smile on his face, waved his hands, and made all the bookboys and servants in the study retreat, and said, "Yue'er, there are no outsiders here, so just say what you want to say."

Jia Yue took a deep breath and cheered herself up in her heart, but she still didn't say it out.

Lin Ruhai's heart trembled, and he felt that what Jia Yue wanted to say was extremely important, so he stood up and asked in a deep voice, "Say, what is it?"

Jia Yue was ruthless, and said: "Master, this disciple likes Junior Sister, and I hope Master will betroth Junior Sister to disciple."

After hearing Jia Yue's words, Lin Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, then his face was as dark as Bao Gong's, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Say it again!"

Jia Yue didn't dare to look up at Lin Ruhai's face, she lowered her head and said, "Master, I assure you, I will treat my junior sister well, and I will be devoted to my junior sister throughout my life. If I dare to take concubines and maidservants, I will be in trouble." die……"

Lin Ruhai shouted loudly: "Enough, shut up!"

Jia Yue closed her mouth very obediently, then raised her head and looked at Lin Ruhai anxiously.

At this moment, Lin Ruhai's mood was extremely complicated.

First of all, his stupid apprentice finally got enlightened, and Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Secondly, Lin Ruhai was very upset that his precious daughter was going to belong to someone else in a few days.

Seeing the uneasiness in Jia Yue's eyes, Lin Ruhai asked calmly, "You have nothing now, how can you promise me that you can give my daughter happiness?"

Seeing that Lin Ruhai didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either, Jia Yue was overjoyed and said solemnly, "I really have nothing now, but I will definitely work hard. I can't promise you, but I swear, I will give you my heart and soul." Be kind to Junior Sister... I beg you to help my disciple!"

Lin Ruhai said again: "If you marry my daughter, some people will definitely say that you are a 'follower'. In the future, even if you become famous, some people will say that you have borrowed my power to achieve this. the achievement of..."

Having said that, Lin Ruhai stopped talking and just looked at Jia Yue calmly.

Jia Yue said: "Master, the disciple's favorite is the younger junior sister, not the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Those who speak sour words are just those who are jealous of the disciple's failure. There is no need to pay attention to this kind of person... "

Hearing Jia Yue's words, Lin Ruhai was very happy in his heart, but shouted loudly: "Bastard, when did I say I married my daughter to you!"

Jia Yue wanted to say more, but Lin Ruhai said, "Hurry up and go to school!"

After hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Jia Yue was stunned: "Master didn't refuse or agree, so what does it mean to ask me to study?

Jia Yue felt that Lin Ruhai was on the verge of fury, but she didn't dare to leave. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Master, please give this disciple a certain word."

Lin Ruhai's teeth itch with hatred, he has said it so clearly, how can he, who is usually very shrewd disciple, not understand?

Looking at Jia Yue's dumbfounded face, Lin Ruhai thought to himself, "Is Yue'er, a silly child, really worthy of our Yu'er?"

For a while, Lin Ruhai

doubted his own decision.

After a while, Lin Ruhai came back to his senses and saw Jia Yue standing there looking at him helplessly, with no intention of leaving at all.

Lin Ruhai had nothing to do with this stupid apprentice, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I agree."

Happiness came so suddenly that Jia Yue couldn't accept it.

Jia Yue jumped up excitedly, and then began to salute Lin Ruhai non-stop, saying, "Thank you father-in-law... no, thank you master! I will definitely treat my junior sister well..."

Lin Ruhai felt his hands itch, and shouted at Jia Yue, "Hurry up and go to school!"

"Yes, yes, the disciple must study hard, and in the future I will give Yu'er... no, I will earn a set of Fengguanxiapei for my junior sister...Master, should this matter be settled first, so as not to have long nights and dreams...Master, don't do it , I'm leaving now!"

Looking at the back of the apprentice who became very out of tune, Lin Ruhai's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he flicked his sleeves, and complained to his wife...

Lin Mansion, main courtyard.

Looking at Lin Ruhai who kept saying bad things about Jia Yue, Jia Min had the urge to "beat the bed and laugh out loud". Lin Ruhai also praised Jia Yue like a flower last night, and then complained to Jia Min: "Why is this kid Are you not enlightened?"

Now, Jia Yue has regained his senses, but Lin Ruhai started to speak ill of his future son-in-law to his wife.

Jia Min couldn't hold it back, and burst out laughing with a "puchi". Lin Ruhai felt a little embarrassed by his wife's laugh, and said, "When I think about Yu'er getting married in a few years, I don't like this kid!"

The smile on Jia Min's face collapsed, and he and Lin Ruhai joined forces.

Although Lin Ruhai and his wife committed the mentality of "prospective father-in-law and mother-in-law", they did not have the idea of ​​changing their son-in-law. After complaining to each other, they began to discuss the marriage of the two children.

Lin Ruhai said: "We started preparing for Yu'er's dowry very early, and it's almost done now, but Yue'er... Yue'er has nothing, can it be impossible to let them get married in our house? Now that the two children are still young, I want to keep more jade." For a few years, I just took advantage of these few years to buy Yue'er a property..."

Jia Min smiled and said: "Isn't it the one who was still scolding Yueer just now, but turned around and started to buy Yueer's family property again. Why do you look like a child as you get older?"

Lin Ruhai sighed, and said: "Although Yue'er is a son-in-law, he is also my disciple. When Yue'er first came to our house, he was only this tall, and now he is about to grow up. Although he is not pleasing to the eye, but I don't want to make him feel wronged."

Jia Min said: "Yue'er will understand the care of the master. Although Yue'er is a son-in-law, to you and me, what is the difference between him and a son... Besides, Yue'er does not have nothing. Brother Gong and his wife can give it to me." Yue'er has left a decent family fortune."

Lin Ruhai was taken aback, and asked, "What's going on?"

Jia Min said: "Brother Gong's father and my father are blood brothers. After grandfather passed away that day, the title and the Rongguo Mansion belonged to my father, but the rest of the family property was divided equally. Brother Gong's father also got a share. In addition, Brother Gong's father was also an official, and he also bought a family property... Brother Gong's family is not prosperous, and the expenses are not high. After Brother Gong and his wife left, they left Yue'er a decent family fortune If it were exchanged for silver, it would be as large as two to three hundred thousand."

Lin Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier."

Jia Min smiled wryly and said: "Brother Gong and his wife both left that day, and Yue'er was still a baby. The Rongguo Mansion took care of this property on its behalf. Now, I don't know how much is left."

Lin Ruhai naturally understood the meaning of Jia Min's words—with Rongguo Mansion's character, he would definitely be moved by such a fortune. Even if Jia Yue was not given a tael of silver, Jia Yue could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

Lin Ruhai thought for a while, and said: "This family property was left to him by Yue'er's ancestors, and it belongs to Yue'er. Now that Yue'er has grown up, the Rongguo Mansion should be returned to the original owner."

Jia Min sighed, and said: "Rongguo Mansion is my natal family, and I also feel disgraced after doing such a thing. I originally thought that my mother and second sister-in-law would take the initiative to hand over the family property to Yue'er, so that Yue'er would be able to return the family property to Yue'er." Yue'er also thought that the Rongguo Mansion was good and would be able to help her in the future, but she didn't expect...my natal family might not want to pay back the money."

"I persuaded my mother several times, but my mother didn't listen to my advice. Seeing what my mother meant, she just wanted to pay back part of it...I'm ashamed to mention this kind of thing to the master, if it's not helpless..."

No matter how bad Rongguo Mansion is, it is also Jia Min's natal family. Jia Min doesn't want to tell her husband what happened to her natal family, but now, she has to say it - Jia Yue is an adult, and Rongguo Mansion will not let go of this family property any longer , people all over the world will say that the Rongguo Mansion has no rules.

Regarding Rongguo Mansion's behavior, Lin Ruhai didn't like it at all, and said: "If Yue'er hadn't become my disciple, I'm afraid Rongguo Mansion would give him a few hundred taels of silver to buy him an estate, and he would be so grateful... Then It's your natal family, you have to take care of your mother-in-law and brother-in-law, it's hard to say, so let me handle this matter."

Because Rongguo Mansion was Jia Min's natal family, Lin Ruhai didn't say anything excessive, but even so, Jia Min was still ashamed.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Yue are "teachers and students". In terms of relationship, they are countless times closer than Rongguo Mansion. However, Lin Ruhai's surname is Lin, and Jia Yue's surname is Jia.

Jia Yue was still young, so entrusting the family business to the management of the same family was a matter of course. If the Lin family intervened, it would be a dishonorable name and a bad word.

Now, Jia Yue is sensible and has the ability to manage the family business by herself. What Lin Ruhai wants to do is not to take Jia Yue's family business from the Rongguo Mansion and keep it for him, but to let the Rongguo Mansion take over the family property. Return it to Jia Yue directly.

The author has something to say:

Jia Yue's grandfather was the son of Jia Yuan, the first Rong Guogong, and he should be able to get a fortune from the branch family. Then, Jia Yue's grandfather was an official. At that time, Jia Daishan and even Jia Yuan were still there, so they should be able to accumulate The next piece of wealth, then, Jia Yue and his family have passed it down for several generations. They have not experienced family division and married daughters. No matter how much they spend, they can still leave a good fortune.

Two to three hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount for Rongguo Mansion. Rongguo Mansion should bleed a lot.
