Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

Tu Jingchen refused to say, but Xu Ziwen could naturally start with Lin Jinyu.

Lin Jinyu has nothing to hide, "It's the money I got when I interrogated Xue's family. In winter, everyone in the capital city has to give away porridge for food. It's pitiful to see those poor people. Anyway, I got some bribes. I added some myself and dedicated them to the poor." The emperor can also help a few more people. I am not short of silver envoys, so let the emperor know that it is not good for me to accept other people's money."

No emperor likes corrupt officials, Xu Ziwen thought about Lin Jinyu's troubles, and said with a smile, "You procrastinated for a lot of money, and you didn't do it yourself, why not?" If you didn’t accept them back then, you’ll save trouble now.”

"Sir." Lin Jinyu stood shoulder to shoulder with Xu Ziwen, "This is not money from the treasury. Besides, sir, you have always been the one who transfers money, so naturally you don't like people taking bribes. This trial case is different. Which case does not have money?" What about oil and water? If I don't accept it, what will the people below do? They used to eat meat, but when I followed me to ask them to change to a vegetarian diet, the trial of this case would not go on. Good. Don’t look down on those people, officials and small positions. It’s not easy to provoke them if they work together. So, not only must they be collected, but they must also be given meat, so that they can work hard. I also With a good reputation of pity for the individual, the case will not be dragged out."

Lin Jinyu is really not greedy for money. He is rich for five generations. The Lin family has a strong family background, and the Zhuangzi shop and other properties outside have gradually been established. The annual income is enough for the big family to spend.Furthermore, he is not a luxurious person.Maybe it's because she was used to being poor in her previous life, but Lin Jinyu feels that it's a heavenly enjoyment to call on slaves and servants.To be a human being is not only to cherish blessings, but also to be content.

Xu Ziwen saw that Lin Jinyu knew what was in his mind, so he simply told him a few more words, "Officials are not easy to mess with. You know these twists and turns. It's easy to think about it. It's rare to be an official who is really clean and honest. Can such an upright official There are two things to say about the long-term. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. You can think of these things. However, some people get promoted when they receive money, and some people lose their heads when they receive money. The cabinet has been in contact with the emperor for a long time, so it must gradually learn to figure out the emperor's heart, and know the emperor's taboos when acting."

Lin Jinyu suddenly regained her spirits, and asked Xu Ziwen, "Sir, you grew up with the emperor's childhood sweetheart. Do you know what taboos the emperor has?"

Xu Ziwen pointed at Lin Jinyu's forehead, and said with a smile, "You can pick up the cheap ones that are ready-made. This can't be explained in a sentence, you should learn it slowly as an errand."

Xue Baochai, wearing a pink dress, was carried in by a small sedan chair from the Xining Palace through the corner gate. As for Wang Ziteng, he just asked Shi to send a gift to Xue's family in a symbolic way.But the Rongguo Mansion heard that Xue Baochai was accepted as a concubine by the King of Xining. Mrs. Wang went there in person and brought a lot of things to celebrate, praising Xue Baochai for her blessing.

Shi Shi went back and talked to Wang Ziteng, but he felt that the gift was not very generous. Wang Ziteng said, "What a generous gift. It's not that the famous matchmaker is marrying, it's just a concubine. Even in the future, it will be limited. It won't be too late to send off the heirs. I told my sister a long time ago, hurry up and book a marriage for Bao girl, and she will be picky, which is good..." Wang Ziteng was a little annoyed, Xue Baochai took Wang The famous head of the niece actually became a concubine, it was really embarrassing to be humiliated by this family.

Yuanchun entered the palace according to the rules, and it was his duty to be an errand in the palace.But there is no reason for the Xue family to happily send a good-looking girl to be a slave, I really don't know what to fear!

In fact, Aunt Xue is also full of injustice.She didn't know which way the gate of Xining Prince's Mansion opened, but the King of Xining sent his mother to ask, do you dare to say no to the Xue family?Aunt Xue wanted to ask Wang Ziteng for help, but Xia Jingui flattered countless good things after receiving this letter, and then took the jade pendant from the king of Xining to talk about things, and talked about how Xue Baochai would be favored and blessed in the future. I am ashamed and annoyed...

The green silk sedan chair entered the palace. What was waiting for Xue Baochai was not the life she imagined would be the life of gold, jade, and unparalleled doting. Because the first day she entered the door, the princess pointed to a side concubine Xu's yard to settle in. She was only placed in the mansion that day. It's just a table of wine, and no one mentions anything else.

The courtyard where Xue Baochai was placed was magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings, which was comparable to that of Jia's mother. The main house was the residence of Concubine Xu. The three small mansions behind the main house are fully furnished, but a little cramped. At first, Yinger thought they were living here. Fuer heard this and said with a smile, "My sister, since Miss Xue came Now, you should also understand a little bit about high and low. In our mansion, there are too many famous concubines to count, let alone people like Miss Xue. It was Baochai who took the first step and said with a smile, "Sister Lao, tell us, we are new here and don't know much about the rules, so don't offend the nobleman." He also asked Fu'er to sit on the kang, knowing that Fu'er must be Concubine Xu The person who was sent to show him off, so his face only showed respect, put two small silver ingots into Fu'er's hand, and ordered Ying'er to boil water and make tea.

The original girl in the house was Yan'er, who greeted Xue Baochai, brought tea, and took Ying'er down.

Fu'er sat on the edge of the kang with her teacup in her arms and smiled, "Don't dare. This was taught to the girl by her own mother, but I'd better say something more first, since you are placed in our master's yard, girl, our master Just bear the responsibility. If the girl accidentally breaks the rules, the princess will also blame my master for being incompetent."

Baochai hurriedly said, "Since that's the case, should I greet all the empresses?" She had known that her status was not right, so she thought that she would win over the concubine and others first, so that her life would slowly improve.

Fu'er smiled, took a sip of tea and said, "The girl is not a serious concubine, so she doesn't have to go. Go to pay my respects to my mother every day at the beginning of Mao, and then go to pay my respects to the princess with her servants. If the princess has orders, I will do it myself Listen. If there is nothing wrong, the girls will stay in the house and take care of them. Our mother is a philanthropic person, so there is no need to tell the girls to set up rules. The three rooms on the east side live in Miss Wen. Miss Wen believes in Buddhist things. If Miss Xue thinks If you are bored for a long time, it is also good to accompany Miss Wen to recite scriptures and pay homage to Buddha."

The smile on Xue Baochai's face gradually froze, and her fiery heart gradually calmed down.

Since the new year, Lin Jinyu has pinched his fingers to count the days when Lin Daiyu gave birth. He has no children yet, but he can't stop Lin Jinyu's enthusiasm for being an uncle. Small clothes, quilts, blankets, quilts, toys, and carts are sent to Mu's house After driving for several cars, Mu Li knew that Lin Jinyu had good intentions. When he met Lin Jinyu on the road, he still smiled and persuaded him, "I saw the things that were delivered yesterday, so don't give them away. I won't be able to use them for ten years. You know You uncles and aunts love him." He still showed off to Lin Jinyu with a bit of complacency on his face, "The doctor looked at him and said he was a son."

Lin Jinyu was very disappointed, "Isn't it a girl? Oh, I like girls. It's so cute to wear a small skirt with braids and flowers on your hair."

Mu Li smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not patriarchal, but if the first child is a boy, he can protect his younger siblings." Mu Li didn't say that as long as there is an only child, Lin Jinyu asked repeatedly, "Brother-in-law Are you going to have a lot of kids?"

Mu Li was a little puzzled, but he was still beaming, "Children and grandchildren are a blessing. Your sister and I both like children. I made a fortune the other day. I should have five boys and three girls in my life..."

Lin Jinyu didn't listen to the next words at all, he was frightened by five men and three women!

Mu Li has a tendency to change his words now, because Lin Jinyu told him the truth of tutoring a long time ago, and Mu Li wished that his son would be the number one scholar in the gold department, so he would read four books and five classics to Lin Daiyu's stomach every night. an hour.After several months, Lin Jinyu felt that Mu Li's moist red lips were getting thinner.

"By the way, I told your sister a while ago that it's time for you to get a Biaozi." Mu Li said, "Now you have more and more contacts, people in the officialdom call Biaozi more kindly. Don't wait until The weak crown ceremony will be picked up again, go tell my cousin first, I guess he will have to check the books for research, and get you one that is both elegant and profound."

"Understood. Brother-in-law, if it's okay, I'll go home first." Lin Jinyu was in a hurry to leave, but Mu Libiao kept talking, "Why are you in a hurry? Isn't this the way back to your house?"

"I have something to do." Lin Jinyu leaned over with a smile, and whispered in Mu Li's ear, "I heard that Xiaofei is ill, and the household department also took leave. What he can’t say is lovesickness.”

Mu Li gave Lin Jinyu a slap on the back of the head like a brother-in-law, and reminded, "It's serious for you to have a baby with your younger siblings first. Your sister often says that it's been almost a year since we've been married. Take it easy. Don't worry." Let me and your sister worry about you, go."

"Yes." Lin Jinyu lifted the reins of the horse and led his followers.On the way, I met a flower girl who bought a basket of red roses for [-] copper coins and asked Ping An to pick them up.Ping An was very unhappy, thinking that it was something for women, and his face was not good-looking, "Master, what are you doing with this, there are no flowers in the prince's mansion? Doesn't it look shabby?"

"Han, for your size, can those ordinary flowers and vulgar ones be compared with the ones I bought myself?"

"Master, isn't that Mr. Ma?" Ji Xiang pointed sharply at a green silk carriage parked in front of the silver shop. Outside stood a scholar in green clothes. Isn't that Lin Jinyu's brother-in-law Ma Wenxuan?

A girl next to Ma Wenxuan opened the curtain, and a slender little daughter-in-law in a pink jacket and pink skirt emerged from inside. Ma Wenxuan held the little daughter-in-law's hand in one hand, and carefully helped her step on the car seat, neither of them noticed. Lin Jinyu and his group entered the gate of the silver building together.

Lin Jinyu's eyes were good enough, if he hadn't seen it, this little daughter-in-law was not Xu Yulin's sister.Qu Zhi calculated that Ma Wenxuan and Xu Yuqing had been married for a year already. Last time, Xu Yulin said that Xu Yuqing was pregnant.This Ma Wenxuan's movement is fast enough, it seems that he has accepted Xiao.He is not a meddlesome person, marrying a well-connected and good wife, and taking in a few beautiful and beautiful concubines is the idea of ​​most men in this era.

All the way to Prince Rui's Mansion, the people in Prince Rui's Mansion are no strangers to Lin Jinyu, and the superiors have already explained that they should treat this Master Lin with the same respect as their master.Seeing that it was Lin Jinyu who was bowing and laughing with the horse, the concierge hurriedly sent someone in to report. Lin Jinyu rewarded the money as usual and asked his subordinates to wait at the concierge.

As soon as Lin Jinyu arrived at Yimen, He Shun'er came out with a smile, "Lord Lin, you are here. Our prince was still talking about your lord. Hey, what a beautiful flower. People say that Master Lin is unique, even this The etiquette is also elegant." In fact, it was the first time that He Shun'er saw a sick person giving flowers, and this is not something worth celebrating, so what can you say if you always bring a basket of flowers.

"Is your prince better?"

He Shun smiled, "My lord was talking to Mr. Wu in the Songyuan. It's just that he caught a cold in the changing seasons, so it's okay." At noon, He Shun'er said, "The servant is going to the kitchen to order the meals. What does Lord Lin want to use?" , the slaves will tell them together.”

"Hey, the dignified chief executive, why did you become a waiter?"

He Shun'er smiled, "Master Wu is too taboo about food, it's better for this servant to tell me in person. This servant was going to the small kitchen, and I heard the younger ones say that the adults are here. I haven't seen you for several days. This servant first greets you." As he spoke, he was about to bow.

Lin Jinyu smiled and hugged He Shun'er's shoulders, without telling him to bend down, "Okay, we don't need to be laymen, go get busy. I know the way, so I can go there by myself."

He Shun'er bowed and left, but Lin Jinyu frowned again and again, no matter how Wu You came, he heard He Shun'er's tone that he had come here once and for all.When Wu You and Tu Wenfei are together, they are really the twin jades of the capital, and they are beautiful.The two of them must have some tricks in sitting. Lin Jinyu then relaxed his hands and feet. He has no peerless martial arts, but he can punch every day and practice breathing and exhalation. It has not stopped for more than ten years. He waved to the guard at the door. Lin Jinyu He was used to it, and he didn't see anyone else until he was outside the study. It seemed that they had all sent it out. Lin Jinyu became suspicious for a while, and listened carefully to the faint voice inside.

"This is a good thing. Don't be bored in your heart all the time. Your body is better." One sentence made Lin Jinyu's teeth sour. When did Wu You speak to him in such a soft voice? Every time he stabbed him a few times Sentence to give up.Of course, Lin Jinyu forgot about his betrayal of Wu You.This dead man, Wen Fei... dares to attract others!

"It's ready..."

"Okay, don't lie down all the time, go out to get some air, and you will feel better. Why haven't you seen Lin Jinyu come over these few days when you were sick?"

"I want to be alone and tell him not to worry."

"Lin Jinyu is a very careful person, very fickle. It's not a good idea for you to indulge him like this." To provoke their relationship, could it be that Wu Youzhen intends to attack Tu Wenfei?

"Take your time. At first, I just wanted to use him to please my uncle. After getting along for a long time, I think he is also good. At least it saves trouble. He is not someone to worry about... He is indeed very cautious, not someone who is willing to give his heart easily. people... this is not something that can be achieved in a short time..."

"Why do you have to suffer this kind of grievance?"

"Ahem... This is not a grievance... Compared with before..."

Lin Jinyu was stunned when he heard the word "grievance", his breathing was disordered, there was a slight movement inside, and the curtain slammed, Wu You was already standing at the door, dressed in a lake blue and dark flowered robe, with a jade belt around his waist, a golden crown on his head, and a golden crown on his feet. Stepping on the cloud boots, her face is like a beautiful jade, her eyes are like stars, when she sees Lin Jinyu, she looks a little darker.How much did this kid hear?

Lin Jinyu held the basket of flowers tightly in her hand, trembling slightly, stepped forward for a long time, and handed it to Wu You, her voice was dry, "Give it to Xiao Fei for me, I won't go in."

Tu Wenfei obviously heard the voice, and came out in a hurry, wearing a beautiful blue shirt over the snow-white inner coat, with a flustered expression, "Jinyu?"

"You are so noble and good-looking, and I am also very surprised why you like to be with me? It turned out to be because of sir. It is not too late to understand now." Lin Jinyu trembled slightly, avoiding Tu Wenfei's outstretched hand, The forced smile was unspeakably ugly, "Don't be afraid, I won't say it. I owe Mr. Wu a debt. I have betrayed him twice, and this time I will pay him back. Who wouldn't like to be considerate?" What about your careful, beautiful and capable lover? I remember how kind you were to me in the past few years. It’s not that I didn’t suspect that you wanted to use me, but it’s just that you’re so kind to me. I think it’s easy to act alone for a day , It will be difficult for a year or two. You are consistent, and I believe in people's hearts after a long time. I, I only care about my own happiness. I didn't expect you to be unhappy at all. Now that we know it, let's stop here .You go back to the house, don't catch a cold."

I don't know if it's because of illness, or what, but Tu Wenfei's face is paler than the clouds in the sky, his fingertips are slightly curled up, his eyes are affectionate and sad, "If I said that I planned to use you in the first place, Later, later, I really fell in love, do you believe it?" There was a faint pleading on the handsome pale face.

Lin Jinyu looked deeply at Tu Wenfei, what is this person's heart made of?Is this what the royal family is all about?He felt that he was really an idiot. After three or four years of sex with him, he didn't even know that he was pretending?If it was Lin Jinyu, he thought to himself that he really didn't have such skills.Until now, Tu Wenfei can say that he was really moved.Lin Jinyu stuffed the flowers into Tu Wenfei's hands, turned and left.

Lin Jinyu always felt that she was a worthless person and she cried a lot.It is even more unbearable to be abandoned by others.Although Lin Jinyu comforted himself time and again, he didn't suffer materially or spiritually, but he was just sad, he was sad for Tu Wenfei, and fell in love with someone he didn't like at all, maybe Tu Wenfei didn't know before asking him to do something Do you have to take medicine before you can stand up?Why should a dignified descendant of a dragon and phoenix have to suffer such grievances?Wu You was right, he felt wronged for Tu Wenfei, let alone Tu Wenfei himself.

Lin Jinyu came out of Prince Rui's mansion in a thud, frightened all the followers to death, Pingan turned around in a hurry, and asked in a low voice, "But His Royal Highness, King Rui, is he not well?" After he finished speaking, he slapped Zhao Chu's mouth, "Shut up." Mouth. Master, what's the matter?"

Lin Jinyu climbed on the horse with tears streaming down his face, Ping An didn't dare to let Lin Jinyu ride alone, and gave him the rope. Lin Jinyu was so uncomfortable that he finally couldn't help crying.Zhao Chu and the others were so anxious that they almost hanged themselves, their words of persuasion faded away into Lin Jinyu's loud howling voice.I had to hurry home, and met Wang Ziteng on the way. Seeing Lin Jinyu's situation, Wang Ziteng sighed, "Nephew, don't be too busy to be sad. Although the two mansions have been confiscated, the garden is still there, and now your grandmother is a female family member. They were all locked in the garden, but not imprisoned, but your two uncles..."

Lin Jinyu didn't hear Wang Ziteng's words at all, and went away crying.Wang Ziteng sighed secretly, he really misjudged Lin Jinyu before, it turned out that he was such a loving child.
