Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

The trip of the Lin family father and daughter to Mr. Li, who is in charge of the Hanlin Academy, was very successful, and Lin Hai and Daiyu were both satisfied.

On August [-]th, Lin Hai sent Lin Qian and his wife to Jia's mansion to give a gift, and by the way, told Jia's mother about Lin Hai's remarriage.

After Lin Qian and his wife left, Mother Jia held the teacup, her hands shaking so much that she couldn't bring it to her mouth.Seeing this, Mrs. Wang winked at the people around her, Yuanyang stepped forward to help Jiamu, Jiamu finally took a sip of tea, and said wearily after a long time: "Let the boss and the second come over."

Jia Zheng soon arrived at Jia Mu's place, but the husband and wife waited and waited with Jia Mu, but Jia Amnesty did not come for a long time.It was Mrs. Xing who came in anxiously and said: "Mother, I asked Su Ri and the master, and said that the master has gone to the Ministry of War."

Mother Jia was so angry that she swept the teacup to the ground, "Boss, when he was used at home, father and son couldn't find anyone. How many years has he been on a job? You can tell lies for him, and you can tell a decent story." Come and coax me."

Mrs. Xing wanted to open her mouth to say a few words for Jia She, but Jia She has never seen him have an errand since she married in fifteen or six years.For a while, Mrs. Xing couldn't tell Jia She, she just bowed her head and said, "Mother, my daughter-in-law really dare not lie to you."

Jia's mother became more and more angry, she opened her eyes and told nonsense, and said that she dared not lie to herself.

"Sister-in-law, you just want to cover up for the old man, and say something... don't make mother angry. Mother, why don't you send someone to look for it?"

"Go ahead, send a few more people to the Ministry of War to look for it." Mother Jia closed her eyes and fell asleep regardless of Mrs. Xing's embarrassment.

Mrs. Xing stood there for a while, then sat back on the right side in embarrassment, leaving Jia Amnesty's seat empty, lowered her head and tugged on her handkerchief, feeling ashamed and embarrassed.From the moment she married into the Rongguo Mansion, outsiders said that she had reached the sky in one step, climbed to the top, and since then she has been well-clothed and well-fed.But inside, only I know the pain, Jia Amnesty already has a son, countless concubines come and go in the yard, mother and son don't want to see me, the old lady doesn't know how many faces she has shown her.Apart from not worrying about food and clothing, I really haven't lived a few days of comfortable life.

The four of them sat for over an hour when Jia Amnesty came in from the outside.Because of the rush of walking, in the early autumn weather, there was steaming heat above the head.

"Mom, what's the urgent matter at home?"

"Boss, where have you been?"

"You are on a mission in the Ministry of War." Jia She was very surprised. In the past few decades, except for him coming to pay his respects, Jia's mother would not think of him at all as long as Jia Zheng was by her side.

"Crack", Mother Jia slapped the table angrily, "What are you going to the Ministry of War for?"

"Speaking of going to work, can this still lie to you? I got a real job as a member of the Ministry of War. I have a lot of small things, so I have to go to work every day. Old lady, if you are fine, my son will go back to work."

"Brother, when did you get the job?" Jia Zheng was extremely surprised.On his deathbed, his father got a posthumous book, and he got a director of the Ministry of Industry. After more than ten years, he barely became Yuanwailang, but... Jia She didn't go out of the house for 20 years, so why did he become Yuanwailang?Yuanwailang of the Ministry of War has more real power than the Ministry of Industry!

"Last month. This has been done for more than a month." Jia She flicked the non-existent ashes on his sleeves, Shi Shiran picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked at the surprised people in the room with satisfaction look.

"Boss, the saint has allowed you to become an official?"

"When did the saint say that I am not allowed to be an official?"

"Boss, you..." Mother Jia only felt that every time she talked to her eldest son, she would choke and feel uncomfortable.This disobedient son was born to be angry with himself.

"Brother, you are mad at mother again."

"Second, what did I say? Tell me, what did I say that angered my mother?" Jia Amnesty snapped back mercilessly.This second child has been stepping on himself to please his mother all his life. For the past four or fifty years, once such words come out, he has to kneel down and admit his mistakes before it ends.From now on, I won't be so used to these girls anymore, let's see what they can do? !

"But... this..." Jia Zheng restrained himself as a gentleman from the inside out, and restrained others in the same way.Arguing with someone like Jia She, let him talk ten times, but he can't say one Jia She.

"Mother, let's talk about Master Lin's continuation." Mrs. Wang understands that Jia Amnesty is already serving in the Ministry of War, and her elder brother is the governor of the Beijing camp. How long Jia Amnesty will be a member of the military can be discussed later. .At this time, seeing the mother and son being entangled with each other, I couldn't help reminding Jia's mother that the business was important.

"From the second family, let's talk about it." Jia's mother's anger passed, and she felt a little short of energy.

"It's like this. Today, Mrs. Lin's housekeeper came to deliver the gift, saying that Mrs. Lin will remarry Annan County Lord on the [-]th of next month. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the post will be sent after the post is finished. Although my sister passed away soon It's been more than a year, and the Lin family has no incense to inherit. It's a matter of time for Mrs. Lin to remarry. But for this remarriage, you should first greet your natal family, how can you choose the person and date before you talk about it."

"What about Yi's mother?"

"Boss, I have already planned it. I will pick and choose in the twelve rooms in Jinling to see if there is any suitable girl. I will take it in as a foster daughter, and I will be trained/taught, and I will have a continuation with your brother-in-law. If you marry me, then you can take good care of your niece."

"Mother, can the twelve-room family in Jinling have a girl who is suitable to be an official's wife?"

"Boss, I told you that I will teach/teach you well, Lin Hai is now a continuation, what else do you want to marry!"

Jia Amnesty shrugged, he knew it was best for the Jia family, but Lin Hai had to admit it.Look, the person they are electing now is the county head—even though he is a bald headed county head, he is also from a family of officials!I don't know how much better it is than the daughter of the rich man with twelve houses in Jinling who is attached to his own family.

"What about now? What does mother want?"

"Brother, didn't I come back to discuss with you?"

"I can't help it, second child, do you have it?" Jia She said heartily, Lin Hai and himself are on good terms.A girl from Jia's family who married Jinling would not have a closer relationship with her.On the contrary, it was the old lady and the second room who held the Jia girl who married to the Lin family from Jinling in their palms.I don't get involved in this matter.Besides, Lin Hai has already accepted Lian'er as his apprentice, and brought Lian'er on the right path. Now, whoever Lin Hai wants to marry, even if it hinders him, he is not good at contradicting Lin Hai.

The room fell silent.

After a while, Mother Jia said: "Boss, second child, go and discuss with your son-in-law: The Lin family has already discussed marriage with the head of Annan County, and the date has been set. Our Rongguo Mansion is the first natal family, and we will not prevent him from marrying again." It is to ask him to marry another girl from the Jia family as the second wife. First, to take care of your niece for your sister, which is our love for the niece. Second, we want the Lin family's nephew to have the blood of our Jia family, otherwise we will wait for the niece to get married. Now, the Lin family will stay away from us. Since the son-in-law brought your niece back, the people who have sent things several times have never been to your sister's dowry."

"Mum, that's a good idea." Mrs. Wang hurriedly flattered Jia's mother, "Now that my niece has a reliable person to take care of her, Aunt Lin will not be alienated from our Rongguo Mansion."

Both Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were stunned by Jia Mu's words, is this okay?Mrs. Xing also looked at Jia Mu blankly, convinced in her heart, she couldn't think of such a way, could it be that the old lady always looked down on her.

"Boss, second child, go and discuss with your son-in-law." Mother Jia waved her hand and drove the two brothers out.

"Second," Jia She said, and Jia Zheng grabbed Jia She's sleeve, "Brother, let's go together."

Jia She secretly rolled his eyes, when did the second son become so smart, he didn't let him say the excuse that he wanted to go to the Ministry of War.

"Brother, let's go, if you don't want to disobey your mother's order..."

Jia Amnesty had no choice but to go to Lin Mansion by car with Jia Zheng.

After coming back to the Lin Mansion after more than a month, Jia She could clearly feel the joyful atmosphere in the mansion.The butler Lin Cheng respectfully welcomed the two of them to sit in the main hall, and greeted them with fragrant tea and snacks, then bowed his waist and said: "Master uncle, master second uncle, my master is going to work in the Ministry of Rites, it is not yet time Luo Ya. If there is any urgent matter, the villain will send someone to invite the master back."

Lin Cheng said it politely, the Lin family and the Jia family are good in-laws, but they rushed to the door without handing over the post, if there was no urgent matter, it would be too abrupt.But it seems that the two of them don't look like they are in a hurry.

Jia Amnesty waved his hand, "No rush, let's drink tea and wait slowly. Go out and do some work."

Lin Cheng ordered the waiter to be more vigilant and take good care of him before he retreated.Think about it, it's better to send someone to the Ministry of Rites to deliver Lin Qian and his wife as a gift, and then tell Lin Hai about the visit of the two uncles of the Jia family.

As soon as Lin Hai heard it, he understood that Jia's family had opinions on his continuation. Thinking about the fact that the Ministry of Rites was busy with Enke's Qiu Wei, he asked someone to go back and tell the butler that he had treated him well, and he would go back after he finished his work.Xin said: Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, you two brothers, just wait for it.

…………

It was only after Lin Hai arrived at the Ministry of Rites that he realized why his original teacher, Chen Shangshu, dared to resist the empress dowager. His external behavior was a model of a "gentleman" who followed the Tao of Yao and Shun, the banner of Qingliu.The Taishang Zen position not only won the reputation of Yao and Shun, but actually got out of the mess he caused in his later years.However, these Qingliu headed by Chen Shangshu always praise the Supreme Being as holy as Yao and Shun, but they defend and consolidate Chen Shangshu's position in the Ministry of Rites and Qingliu in another way, and elevate Chen Shangshu's speech in the cabinet serving size. .

Lin Hai watched it for a few days, figured out and understood Chen Shangshu's rules of conduct, and followed Chen Shangshu to prepare for Qiu Wei in silence. He saw the examiners who were sent to various places to preside over Enke—most of them were bachelors from the Hanlin Academy for many years. There are also many Jinshi admitted by Chen Shangshu when he was the chief examiner of Chunwei, and they came to the Ministry of Rites to pay homage to Chen Shangshu's Shangxun...

After Lin Hai was busy with everything, he didn't leave the Ministry of Rites and return home until it was dark.
