Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

Lin Jinyu was able to work in the cabinet on the second day after entering the court, which aroused the jealousy of many people.This old Lin's family really burned incense in his previous life. Lin Jinyu's luck is really unbelievable. After ordering Tanhua, it's only a few days before he got to be with the emperor. It's really...shit luck.

This is the nobleness of serving a bachelor, being close to the emperor, you can smell the trouble first, and avoid the evil without saying anything.As long as you can get the emperor's eye, the emperor will think of you first if there is any vacancies in the future.

Because Lin Jinyu was really good at going smoothly, someone separated Lin Jinyu from Xu Ziwen during shift scheduling, and Lin Jinyu went to the cabinet with his eyes darkened.No one was willing to talk to him, so Lin Jinyu was isolated.

What can someone like Lin Jinyu get into the cabinet without knowing much about farts?For example, Wang Ziteng, Xu Shuo, etc. are all veterans, and the memorial has to write out the abbreviations for Tu Jingchen to review, but Lin Jinyu is a new flower, does he know the southeast, northwest?However, even if these old ministers are not willing to talk to him, they will not deliberately make things difficult for him if they are not sure how to move forward.Therefore, Lin Jinyu got an errand to divide the memorials into six parts according to the order of urgency, officials, households, soldiers, criminals, and criminals, for everyone to read.

Lin Jinyu is thick-skinned, regardless of the wind and waves, it is better than strolling in the courtyard.You don't like to talk to me, it's okay, I'm looking to talk to you.Damn, staying in the cabinet for a day is more tiring than staying at home for half a month. Lin Jinyu couldn't help complaining to Tu Wenfei when she went home, "A bunch of old men don't like me, and when I talk to them, it's either 'huh' or 'um', it seems Saying more than two words will exhaust them."

Tu Wenfei hugged Lin Jinyu's slender shoulders and smiled, "It's okay, just bear with it. How old are you, and it's a blessing to be able to do odd jobs in the cabinet. Are you tired, let me massage you?"

Lin Jinyu was lying on the bamboo couch of Concubine Xiang depressed. Tu Wenfei was very skilled. He served Lin Jinyu comfortably in a few moments, which was more comfortable than taking a hot bath. Lin Jinyu squinted her small eyes and asked, "Little Fei, where did you learn it, oh oh oh... lightly... um... just this strength..."

Lin Jinyu has a lot of flesh, and the acupuncture points are hard to find. Tu Wenfei touched it inch by inch, and said with a smile, "Yubao, if you lose ten catties, you will definitely be a beauty."

"Am I okay now?"

"Okay, my jade bag looks good everywhere." With a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, Tu Wenfei patted the sole of Lin Jinyu's feet, "Okay, get up."

Lin Jinyu fanned the two of them with a banana fan, but she was still a little embarrassed. The majestic county king ordered someone to fetch water to wash Tu Wenfei, and asked curiously, "The prince still wants to learn massage."

Tu Wenfei cleaned his hands, wiped them with a large cloth towel and threw them back into the maid's hand, then put his arm around Lin Jinyu's shoulders and said, "I study medicine, so it's not surprising that I know some acupuncture points. I used to press them for my uncle."

"Can't you see that you are quite filial?"

"I put all my thought into trying to please him. It's not the same as giving you a massage." Tu Wenfei smiled and kissed Lin Jinyu's mouth, and said softly, "You've just arrived in the cabinet, and you're not used to it. You Think about it, how many people have spent their entire lives unable to reach the threshold of the cabinet. As for you, you entered the court directly. Son, it’s tiring but not easy to travel. If you are given Xu Xiang’s job now, someone is deliberately harming you. Looking at it now, they are still kind of polite to you. Is this trying to test you? Do you want Pay attention to what is said in the memorial, if you don’t know how to ask more questions. They are all veterans for many years, and their qualifications, experience and connections are beyond your comparison. I would rather suffer some losses than offend them.”

"I know." Lin Jinyu pouted and smiled, "I even had the audacity to serve tea and water for them, taking away the little eunuch's job."

"Don't be too soft. If your father asks you, you have to show them some real skills. In this way, you will be able to gain a firm foothold after a few times." Tu Wenfei taught earnestly, " Serving tea and pouring water is to treat them as their predecessors and give them face. But no matter where a person is, he has to rely on his own talents to gain a foothold. If he blindly flatters, he becomes a slave. I can't stay here by myself. Don't be too close to anyone in the cabinet, and don't be too far away from anyone, and put your heart on Jiangshan Sheji and the emperor in everything."

Lin Jinyu had a plum in his mouth, and one of them fanned the wind, saying, "This is quite a way to be an official."

"The way is great." Tu Wenfei smiled and took the fan from Lin Jinyu's hand, and fanned it lightly, "You are so smart, you will gradually understand. Those who can enter the cabinet must have their own merits. If you have something embarrassing, if you don’t want to tell me, just go and tell your uncle, which is almost the same as suing the court.”

Lin Jinyu laughed so hard, she stretched out her hand to pinch Tu Wenfei's face, it was smooth and thin, like a fine jade, she couldn't help touching it again and again, "If my husband hears it, I will definitely scold you. Are you tired?" Tired, I'll give you a massage too."

===========

Wang Xifeng is busy with the wedding in the Spring Festival, preparing all kinds of dowry without touching the ground.The granddaughter was raised under her knees, and the old lady gave Wang Xifeng three thousand silver to buy it.

But is the three thousand silver enough for furniture and wood or head jewelry?Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth and mentioned it to Mrs. Xing, only to hear Mrs. Xing complaining and crying for a long time, "You also know what my natal family is like. Theoretically, the second girl is my daughter. If I have one, how could it be?" Hidden and tucked away. Since I married into this family, I don’t take care of the family and don’t care about the affairs. I only pay twelve months a month, and I have to subsidize your mothers-in-law and aunts here from time to time. Look at my head This hairpin is still the same as it was 20 years ago, alas, this is fate. For the second girl, you are brothers and sisters-in-law, if you can help, the second girl is a conscientious person, and I will never forget you in the future."

When Wang Xifeng came out of her mother-in-law's room, her face turned dark and dark, which was really not very good-looking.

When I went back to the house and saw Jia Lian was there, I snorted coldly, and sat on the kang angrily, "Our family is also a prince's mansion. With such a family, how can we send a girl out with three thousand silver?" Guo Pinger slapped the round fan in his hand a few times. Wang Xifeng frowned and said, "Isn't the second sister the eldest daughter? Looking at the dowry of the second younger sister, the third and fourth younger sisters don't need to marry because of the shabbiness."

If it is a small household, two thousand silver is enough to last a lifetime, but as far as the Rongguo Mansion is concerned, the dowry of three thousand silver is really shabby. Idea", but I want Mrs. Xing to take out some self-sufficiency to subsidize Yingchun.Not only does Yingchun have a good-looking face, but the family is also decent.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xing was really shameless for asking for money. Wang Xifeng said nothing, but she couldn't get a tael of silver.

Jia Lian sighed, "Don't talk about the old lady. As soon as I mentioned it to the old man, the old man said, isn't there money from the old lady? One sentence blocked me back."

Wang Xifeng threw away the fan dejectedly, "Look at Sister Lin's dowry, the furniture is all made of yellow rosewood, antiques, dowry, jewelry, gemstones, medicinal materials, spices, and cloth, all of which are of the highest quality. After such a decent marriage, Master Mu still has no one The girls in the house are not seen, and her husband’s family respects her so much. The second younger sister is not as good as the younger sister Lin, but when my aunt got married, I heard that the dowry was so impressive that everyone praised it so far. Now that the second younger sister is here, although she is A concubine is no match for my aunt, so I should have fifty sets of dowry. For the three thousand silver, and the furniture, I can’t even use the mahogany ones, so I’ll change them to yellow wood ones. The head and face jewelry, the second sister took them with me. Go buy some new ones, gold and silver are just the same, and gems are no longer usable. Get the medicinal materials from the warehouse, and put a few bottles of home-made pills. Choose some spice cloth from the warehouse, and buy some from outside. .These are all easy to get, what should I do with antique swings? This is a big boss."

"Well, tell the old lady about the decorations in the second sister's room, and ask the second sister to take them, and then pick some high-quality ones from the warehouse to accompany them." Jia Lian spread his hands, "It has to be like this. The second sister is like this." , the third sister will be limited in the future, think about it, although the second wife is no longer in charge of things, but a shrewd person like the second wife will definitely say that the second sister will buy for the third sister."

Wang Xifeng sighed, "The three younger sisters are all good. Alas, it's a pity that our family's life is getting tighter and tighter now. It's even poor for a girl to get married."

Jia Lian and Yingchun are also brothers and sisters of the same father. Although they are not very warm to this sister, they are relatives after all. Draw up a list and show it to the old lady when the time comes, how can you hide it from the old lady? You don't have to worry about it, the old lady will give you some advice."

"I wouldn't have thought of this, but I just offended the eldest lady." Wang Xifeng smiled, "It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. The second sister and the others have the money of the old lady. This is the situation. When we come to our Qiao sister, we don't know it yet. What are you going to do? You always think that I hold money tightly, we only have this one daughter, can we not think too much about our daughter?"

Jia Lian couldn't help feeling sad when he thought that the life at home was getting better day by day.

The husband and wife were worrying, Ping'er opened the curtain and came in, and said with a smile, "Grandma, the old lady told grandma to come over, she said that someone from the Zhen family came, Master Zhen was promoted to a Bachelor of Tiren Pavilion, and his family moved back to Beijing. "

Wang Xifeng supported Ping'er's kang, Jia Lian's face was also full of joy, and he said with a smile, "Hurry up, I'll go and talk to the uncle."

Wang Xifeng flew straight to the old lady's house, greeted the old lady, and smiled to the daughters-in-law of Zhen's family who came to say hello, "I rushed here as soon as I heard the letter. This is really a great joy. Your Majesty's Grace. I don't know when your old ladies, wives, grandmas and girls will come to Beijing? The houses are all taken care of. If there is anything that is useful to us, just talk about the friendship between our two families for several lifetimes. When your master arrives in Kyoto, It's just a little bit closer."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Young girl Feng's words are reasonable, what are your old ladies' plans? Oh, I haven't seen your third girl for more than half a year. Although Dai'er lived in Beijing for a short time, my old lady But he likes her like his own granddaughter, Dai'er is great, I remember she's about to get chiseled, right?"

"Yes, the old lady has a good memory. The third girl's birthday is in June, which is a big day for Chi Chi. The old lady, wife and grandma at home will move here first, and the gentlemen still have official duties to hand over, so the servants will be sent to Beijing to clean up the house first. With the grace of the emperor, I gave the master a five-entry mansion. Our old lady said, I will invite the old lady to drink after coming to Beijing." The daughters-in-law sent by the Zhen family are also eloquent characters, chatting and laughing for a while , Each person received a big reward letter before resigning.

Jia's mother said, "The things that the Zhen family sent us before will be sent back to the Zhen family quietly after their old ladies and wives come to Beijing."

"Yes."

"How is the dowry prepared for the girl?"

Wang Xifeng told the story even though she was in a difficult situation. Mother Jia shook her head and said, "No, wouldn't it make people laugh when our girl goes out like this? Needless to say, Yu’er’s mother in the past, even your other aunts, although they were not born to me, I did not treat them badly when they called me mother. The furniture does not need old mahogany, but ordinary mahogany. Carvings and strokes, at least things can’t be bad. I have a box of rubies here, and I will use them to make a few pairs of gem heads for the second girl. The antiques will be taken from the warehouse as you said, and the spices, medicinal materials and clothing materials will be picked from the warehouse first. Then buy it from outside. I will give you another two thousand here. You must make it look decent, fifty sets is not a lot, but the things should not be thin. When the relatives come to add makeup, make up Let's see how many there are."

Wang Xifeng bowed her head in response, and Jia's mother said, "I heard from the second master that Jinyu was promoted to a bachelor's degree, and it will be your father's birthday in a few days. You and Lian'er will go home to greet your father and see if there is anything you can do. Ask Lian'er to help you."

Wang Xifeng was startled, "Cousin Lin has only been in the Imperial Academy for a few days, right?" The second master has survived for more than [-] years and is still from the fifth rank. How can Lin Jinyu rise so fast like a rocket.

"Yes, it hasn't been a few days." Mother Jia sighed and ordered Wang Xifeng to go to work.In the evening, I called Jia She to him and scolded him, "Daughter's dowry, you don't have any money as a mother, but you can buy your aunt for 800 taels! That child also called you your father for 19 years. It's true!"

Jia Amnesty was so angry that he went back to his room and raped Mrs. Xing. On the second day, Mrs. Xing gave Wang Xifeng [-] silver to buy the dowry for the Spring Festival.
