Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

Lin Jinyu hadn't taken two steps inside when he heard someone calling from behind, "Master, the thousand-year-old King Rui has arrived."

Turning around to see, Tu Wenfei had just stepped into the threshold of Lin's house, hurried a few steps to Lin Jinyu's side, grasped Lin Jinyu's wrist, squeezed it, his face lost the joy of the past, and said, "Go inside, there is something to do tell you."

What's the matter, it's all rushed together, Lin Jinyu said, "Housekeeper, please invite brother-in-law to come to the study. It is said that King Rui is here, let's discuss it together."

Tu Wenfei raised his eyebrows, and went to the study with Lin Jinyu, Mu Li came very quickly, everyone had met the ceremony, after sitting down for tea, Lin Jinyu pouted and asked, "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

Mu Li said, "I heard people say that someone impeached his father-in-law for corruption and accepted bribes. It just so happens that your sister is worried about you preparing for the exam at home alone, so I will stay with her for a few days. You have to have an idea in your heart." King Rui goes to court every day, so I'm afraid he knows better."

Seeing Lin Jinyu looking at him, Tu Wenfei's face was neither angry nor happy. He was obviously unhappy, and he didn't sell the lawsuit. He said, "Didn't I come less these days? There is really a strange person in the court. In the past, Wu Although the Shangshu was a censor, many officials were recruited, but they were all qualified and well-educated participants. Now there is really a wild dog that has no one to keep it. The former prefect of Jinling is now the prefect of Kyoto and patrols the streets. The censor, he has been biting and biting all day long. Just a few days after taking office, he joined the empress dowager's elder brother, Mr. Chen, who is not strict in running the family, and all other sesame-sized matters are brought up to the court. That's it, Lin After your lord passed away in office, Lord Zhen was the one who took over Yangzhou Salt Administration. This Lord Zhen served as a general for more than two years, and before his term expired, he was overthrown by ginseng. The emperor sent Li Da, Minister of Xingbu Mr. Wu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Labor, went to the south of the Yangtze River for an imperial envoy to conduct a detailed investigation. As a result, many accounts were inconsistent. Mr. Zhen was sent to prison. It's a farther account. As a result, the dog censor immediately jumped out to talk about the matter of Lingjie's marriage, saying that Lingjie's dowry is so rich that it is rare in the world. At that time, when people married a daughter, there was no reason why they had to empty their homes. I don’t know how much gold and silver you still have hidden in your home. It is said that your Lin family didn’t get the silver even if your ancestor Jing’an Hou didn’t eat or drink. He can never believe that Mr. Lin is as clean as water, and he will ask Mr. Lin to investigate the old account in court, but there is no reason in the world to check someone's family because of a married woman's dowry."

Lin Jinyu rubbed his brows, "How come Chaozhong is arguing with shrews on the street, accusing my father of being corrupt without evidence, and I still accusing his father of being corrupt? What happened later?" No wonder Xu Ziwen didn't like Shangchao very much.

Tu Wenfei spread his hands, "This is already a turmoil that lasted until noon, and the emperor sent an order that Master Lin has passed away, and you have taken the title of Lord Lin, and ordered you to defend yourself tomorrow morning."

"What's the name of this censor? Even the Empress Dowager's natal family dares to participate, I'm afraid it has some background." Lin Jinyu asked with a smile.

"Jia Yucun."

Lin Jinyu was really taken aback, picked up the tea in hand, lowered her eyes and said, "Speaking of which, this Jia Yucun used to be the husband of my uncle's second cousin."

Tu Wenfei sneered, "Not only that, I went to the Ministry of Officials to check his resume. This person was originally a Jinshi, but he was dismissed for some reason after he was appointed. The emperor ascended the throne and amnesty the world, and restored a group of old employees. Jia Yucun is one of them. You were recommended by Prince Teng to be the magistrate of Jinling, and you have climbed up to this post today. This is also strange. You and the Rongguo Mansion had a bad quarrel before. I don’t know if Jia Yucun was ordered by your uncle’s family, or Why, I want to trouble you."

Mu Li was really ashamed. Thinking of his brother-in-law's kindness, he caused this trouble because of his decent marriage with Daiyu, and said, "Well, I'm actually the one who likes your sister. It doesn't matter if the dowry is rich or not. nothing."

Lin Jinyu glared at him, "Of course my brother-in-law doesn't care, but it's hard to protect others. If it weren't for someone who cared to reveal it, who would really count my sister's dowry? Now there are more people counting, and if there are less, I don't know what kind of bitter words will be spread. , It can be seen that it made sense for me to be more cautious. You told my sister about someone ginsenging my father?"

"No, I don't want your sister to worry about it." Mu Li said, "This is a matter for men, I'll just tell you."

Lin Jinyu snorted, "I've also heard a little about this Jia Yucun. Although he was born in the Rongguo Mansion, the Rongguo Mansion didn't have the ability to ask him to participate in the Empress Dowager's natal family. I'm afraid there are other backers. I know this matter well." , I will make him look good tomorrow!"

Tu Wenfei was still worried, "This censor is like a mad dog, who bites a person and penetrates three points. Prince Teng, Prime Minister Xu, has said something for Master Lin. They are all important officials in the court. I think this matter has nothing to do with it." Wang Ziteng has nothing to do with it. Besides, Mr. Lin passed away in office, and the imperial court issued a reward. This matter should not be a serious problem, but it's just that you entered the imperial court for this kind of thing for the first time, so you have to suppress your anger. Don’t make a fuss about the Ministry of Industry like last time.”

"understood."

Tu Wenfei said, "You also have a fifth-rank title on your body. I'm afraid you don't have the right clothes, and it's too late to make them now. I'll lend you a suit. You can try it later. Let the sewing room change the size first. Tomorrow Dress up. The people behind the scenes are really wicked, and the spring is coming, it may affect your imperial examination, you must think twice, you know?"

"Got it." Really shivering.

Tu Wenfei got up and said, "You go to see your sister first, don't forget to pack your clothes, I'm going to the Yamen first."

"Send you off." Lin Jinyu pinched Tu Wenfei's face with a smile, "I haven't worried about my family, what are you worried about?"

Tu Wenfei smiled with a bit of regret, took Lin Jinyu's chubby hand, and walked out together without saying a word.Leaving Mu Li behind, he turned and went to the inner house to talk to his wife.

Just as Lin Jinyu sent Tu Wenfei away, Wang Ziteng and Jia Zheng arrived in chariots and horses, and ordered them to be invited to the flower hall to entertain guests.

Wang Ziteng is really in luck now. Normally, he would never have paid attention to Jia Yucun, but he always valued Lin Jinyu and didn't want to be misunderstood.Now that Jia Yucun dared to participate in the Lin family, he had climbed a big backer and no longer paid attention to their four major families.It's all because Lin Jinyu and the Rongguo Mansion used to be a bit dirty, if you don't explain a thing or two, it will make Lin Jinyu think wrong.

Lin Jinyu gave up the two of them to the top seat, picked a chair at the bottom and sat down, ordered someone to serve tea, and said with a smile, "Uncle Shibo is visiting together today, but what's the matter?"

Ever since Jia Zheng was scolded by Lin Jinyu in the Ministry of Industry, he became a little out of sorts when dealing with Lin Jinyu. Jia Yucun was scolded several times in the car, but when he came to Lin Jinyu, he was a little speechless.

Wang Ziteng sighed, "Speaking of which, during the early court today, Jia Yucun, the patrolling censor, read a copy of Mr. Lin, saying that Mr. Lin was greedy for ink when he was in office, and the evidence involved his niece's dowry. According to the niece's dowry, The Lin family has more than a million dollars in wealth. How can there be no source for such money? Xu Xiang and I feel that it is like a fairy tale. Your family has been an eunuch for five generations and has been passed down for five generations. You are crazy, and you will not let go of your death. Now that Duke Lin has passed away, and your nephew has taken over the title, the Holy Majesty, as a fair measure, declares that you will enter the court tomorrow to judge yourself. It is estimated that someone will come to pass the decree in a while, and the nephew will also prepare one or two. "

Jia Zheng coughed, and said, "Nephew, I'm ashamed to say that the censor of my brother-in-law was once your second cousin's husband, but he hasn't been seen for a few years, and somehow he has changed his mind? "

"Why does Jia Yucun still care about me and your uncle now, otherwise he would have done such insane things?" Wang Ziteng was a thousand times more eloquent than Jia Zheng, and said earnestly, "Brother Ru Hai, others don't know, Your uncle and I know this best. Brother Ziruhai is the Yangzhou salt administrator, adding hundreds of thousands of salt money to the imperial court every year. The emperor highly values ​​brother Ruhai’s talent. Otherwise, how could brother Ruhai be re-elected as the salt administrator? I don’t know who instigated this Jiayu village, and now the government is not at peace. The tea and salt tax has always been the top priority, but this bastard actually poured the stolen water on Brother Ruhai. The nephew saw that Chun Wei was in To be distracted by these things before, this Jia Yucun used to think of him as a good man, but he knows people and faces but doesn’t know his heart, which brings innocent disasters to my nephew, so my nephew must not create a rift with us because of this!"

Lin Jinyu said seriously, "Uncle Shibo is worrying too much, am I a person who doesn't know right from wrong? Even if Jia Yucun was the second cousin's husband before, it was many years ago. What's the matter? If you don't know someone well, I'm afraid he might have cheated his uncle by pretending to be an upright gentleman. I'm also angry that Jia Yucun is a bad official and slandered his late father. This is a big deal in the court , Uncle Shibo knew that Xin'er was worried about me and came to tell me, I am grateful that it is too late, otherwise I will be caught blind after receiving the imperial edict. In this way, there must be some preparations, so as not to fight unprepared battles."

Both of them praised Lin Jinyu for being reasonable, and Lin Jinyu frowned and said, "There is one more thing, I was thinking too much. According to Uncle Shibo, this Jia Yucun has a lot of connections with Uncle. Now he even dares to play with my family. This is the beginning. Uncle Shibo loves me so much that I came to tell the reason. Everything should be considered for future generations. Now that Jia Yucun is also serving as the censor, I am afraid that more people will be impeached in the future. Could it be that he impeaches a family in the future? , Uncle Shibo is going to explain the family in such a hurry? But, if you don’t say it, people will think about it when they know this relationship, isn’t it for the sake of future generations? I don’t know if it’s so reasonable?”

Wang Ziteng praised, "Nephew is very right. He is sincerely thinking about me and your uncle. My nephew and I have already thought of a place together. I have already broken off relations with Jia Yucun after morning court today. People like us , there is no need to deal with these wolves. Besides, I think I stand upright and walk upright, and I am not afraid of him coming to visit! This is Chunwei, what is my nephew going to do?"

Lin Jinyu smiled and said, "It's still the same as usual, just making fuss at home every day."

"Well, don't be surprised or worried, calm and composed, I think the nephew has already made up his mind, your uncle and I will wait for the nephew to win the toad palace." Wang Ziteng laughed.

Lin Jinyu humbled himself a few words, Wang Ziteng was busy with business and left, Lin Jinyu waited until the gate before he was able to get away and go to the inner house to see his sister.

Wang Ziteng and Jia Zheng came in the same car. When they got in the car, Wang Ziteng sighed, "The Lin family has such a beautiful son, and the glory of the family is just around the corner. It's a pity that the four generations of our four families have no one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Lin Jinyu. He Having got Xu Ziwen's eye again, this fate is like a dragon returning to the sea, but it's a pity that he has gone too far with us."

Jia Zheng also sighed, "It's all my fault for not running the family strictly."

Wang Ziteng smiled, "You don't have to blame yourself for Cun Zhou, your descendants will have their own blessings. I also feel that the Lin family is far more prominent than I imagined when I participated in the imperial censor's performance. Now the niece of the Lin family is married. Cun Zhou , Jinyu is only 15 years old this year, he must be able to pass this subject, he is proud of his youth and has a rich family fortune, I don't know how many people want to recruit him as his son-in-law."

Jia Zheng echoed a few words, Wang Ziteng saw that his brother-in-law didn't understand what he meant, so he didn't mention it again, but said, "I heard that King Zhongshun has a good eye for Baoyu, and he often invites Baoyu to drink tea, enjoy flowers, watch plays and compose poems? "

"This is what the prince thinks highly of." Jia Zheng was rather pleased with himself.

Wang Ziteng smiled wryly, "Cunzhou, it's better not to let your nephew go to Zhongshun Wang's mansion. I just want to tell you that something bad happened to King Zhongshun from Yiyi, and Qiansui Zhongshun is older than Jinshang. Ascension to the throne today, the matter is not something that our ministers can explore, but there should be a taboo. I am looking at Chunwei, if my nephew can be named on the gold list, but it is a big happy event for our four families, you usually want him to be there more Work hard on the article."

Jia Zheng was alerted for a while when he heard this, and he responded seriously.
