Lin Lang, the wood family of the Red Chamber

On the third day after Lin Hai returned to Beijing, Lin Hai entered the palace after resting.

Looking at the young and vigorous present in front of him, Lin Hai can no longer remember what he was like when he was still the third prince.I just remember that his mother-in-law, Mrs. Jia, often used one word to describe him—a wimp.

It seems that everyone was deceived by today, including the emperor. I'm afraid even the old man didn't expect that the third prince he chose to be the puppet emperor is actually the one who hides the deepest!

He couldn't help but think of those days when he was terminally ill and stepped into the palace of Hades with one foot. In Lin Hai's heart, he no longer dared to be disrespectful to the present.

"Sinful minister Lin Hai, kowtow to the emperor." Although it was not in the Jinluan Hall, Lin Hai still performed the highest etiquette.

After three kneelings and nine kowtows, I am very satisfied with his knowledge and interest today.Looking at Lin Hai, who is a little weak but still alive, he can't help but think that if it weren't for the actions of the two members of the Mu family, there would be only one left of Lin Hai and the Gusu Lin family, which would only hurt the spring and the autumn Is it Lin Daiyu?At that time, the cheapest one will be the Rongguo Mansion.

It was also Lin Hai's failure to die, which directly made the emperor who was still unwilling to give up even more excited. Every day he thought about ordering Xuan Muqing to enter the palace to see him, but he just wanted Mu Qing to treat him, hoping to live a few more years. Years.

Fortunately, in recent years, the control of the court and the harem has gradually been tightened. After all, the emperor is old, and his decrees can no longer be released from the Shouchun Palace. Now it is just a struggle before dying.

Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise, with the temper of that Mu Guoshi, he, the emperor, will be the unlucky one at that time.

"What is Lin Qing's crime? As the saying goes, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and if you turn your head, you will be right. Lin Qing has set an example for the world's courtiers. I am very relieved." He took the booklet that Lin Hai handed over with a blank expression, and is more satisfied today. up.

"Chen, panic!" Lin Hai was in a cold sweat, and he couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't remember that the former third prince had such a strong side. amazing.

How can you not see Lin Hai's thoughts now, but since Lin Hai handed him the nomination certificate, he is his man, so he must save some face.Besides, although I don't want to see Lin Hai and Rongguo Mansion, I have a very good impression of that little fellow Mu Linlang. drop.

"Okay, I like that brother Lang of yours very much, even without these, for his sake, I wouldn't do anything to embarrass him." I reached out and knocked on the case. , and said, "The former emperor heard that you were going back to Beijing, but he was looking forward to the stars and the moon. I'm fine here. It's time for Lin Qing to visit his old man in Shouchun Palace."

"Your honor." Lin Hai felt that his brain was not enough, and now he was still asked to see the emperor?Didn't these two never get along?

Poor Lin Hai didn't understand it, even the emperor himself didn't understand it. Looking at Lin Hai who saluted him respectfully, he was still the respectful and filial San'er today!It seems that his old man's control over the palace curtain is still very firm.

In fact, the emperor saw Lin Hai for nothing else, but because he came back to life after a serious illness this time, and wanted to find out who the person who treated him was.

The emperor is already old, not only because of the unforgiving years, but also because he didn't know how to take care of himself when he was young, and he relied too much on his young body, consuming his vitality without knowing it.

Now, although he has abdicated for many years, he still grasped the power in his hand and worked hard before. Now the emperor is getting old, and he has long lost the imperial aura of the past.

Seeing the emperor again, Lin Hai had to sigh again, how time is not forgiving.

The two former monarchs had a long talk. Although the emperor had kicked out all the people, big and small, from the Shouchun Palace early, when Lin Hai walked out of the palace gate, the detailed content of the long talk between the two of them was as follows. It was directly sent to today's imperial case.

After carefully reading through this record, he couldn't help sighing now: "This Lin Hai is worthy of being from Tanhua, and from a noble family, and his ability is really good. Look at what he said, it is really watertight. The strange way can actually be in the south of the Yangtze River. In the midst of that chaos, he still managed to serve in the position of Xunyan Yushi for so many years."

Tu Yang took the long talk record that was handed to him today with both hands, and read it with a little curiosity.

"It's really good. The list and account books he brought today are enough to double the officialdom in Jiangnan. It's a pity that there are no reliable in-laws."

Now he smiled, and he really couldn't understand what Lin Hai's father thought at the beginning, so he could agree with Lin Hai to marry Jia Min.However, thinking about the woman surnamed Jia in Fengzao Palace, I suddenly felt a sense of sympathy with Lin Hai. She was also a woman from Jia's family, and she was equally troubled.

"Early this morning, after Lin Hai entered the palace, the Rongguo Mansion sent a chief executive to the Lin Mansion, presumably to pick up the girl from the Lin family to stay at Jia's house for a few days. Since Lin Hai handed in the nomination certificate, I can't really ignore it. Brother Lang is going back to the mansion, Lin Hai will ask you to send Miss Lin to Jia's mansion, when the time comes, help me to check the situation of that family."

Now I know that with the relationship between Mu Linlang and the Jia family, if he doesn't speak, it is absolutely impossible for Mu Linlang to step into the Jia family.It's a pity, now is not the best time to attack these tyrants and their ilk, I can only feel wronged that Brother Lang can't take revenge.Gritting his teeth, he had no choice but to swallow the sudden hostility in his heart.

Mu Linlang wrinkled her little nose. She was very dissatisfied with being dragged by Tu Yang to watch his "heroic appearance" handling government affairs. She was even more depressed because she was swept to the tail of the typhoon. What did they drag him to do with the Tu family?

Seeing Tu Yang's face, Mu Linlang finally nodded.

When Lin Hai returned to the Lin Mansion, he discovered that the Jia family had actually sent someone to pick up Lin Daiyu to Rongguo Mansion.

After taking a sip of tea, Lin Hai was stunned to let Chief Lai of Rongguo Mansion kneel on the ground for half an hour.

"The old lady wants to take Yu'er by her side to raise her?" Lin Hai finally opened his mouth, and the pressure on Lai Da suddenly increased due to his official authority.

Lai Da was already sweating profusely. In such a mid-spring day, he forced a manager of the Jia family to such a position. One can imagine how much Lin Hai hated the Jia family.

"Yes... yes, since Miss Lin returned to Gusu last year, the old lady misses her very much. A few days ago, the old lady was ill. The day before yesterday, she heard that Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin had returned to the capital. The old lady was very happy It's bad, I thought about sending the younger ones to pick up Miss Lin early on. Later, the second wife persuaded me, saying that my aunt was tired from traveling and traveling, and Miss Lin's body was always not healthy, so I finally waited until today, and the old lady really couldn't wait. , That's why I sent the little one over." Lai Da finished speaking in one breath, but it attracted Lin Hai's thoughtful gaze, and he really deserved to be the confidant of Mrs. Jia.

If he had heard these words before last year, Lin Hai would have believed them a long time ago, but now that Lin Hai has gone through life and death, he will not believe him easily.

Saying that I miss Daiyu, I am afraid that I am calculating the Lin family's money.You can't blame Lin Hai for thinking about the Jia family so much, but only blame the Jia family for having a criminal record.

"Did the old lady say that now there is no one in the backyard of my Lin family, and Yu'er is not good at seeing her under the name of 'the widow and the eldest daughter'. She wants to take her back and raise her well!"

Lai Da was very angry when he heard this, and didn't understand what was going on for a while.In their minds, these are obvious facts.Since Lin Hai lost his wife, he hasn't remarried. He thinks that he has a very deep relationship with their aunt. Now Miss Lin has the reputation of being a "wife widow and eldest daughter". Isn't it hard to hear?How do you look at people in the future?

"This... the old lady is also kind. After all, Miss Lin is her granddaughter. If you don't think too much about her, who can you do for her?"

Lin Hai almost laughed angrily. These words were obviously for the sake of their family, but every word pierced people's heart.But for a while, he couldn't say anything to refute. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Jia's mother was indeed Lin Daiyu's grandmother, and it made sense for her grandmother to take her granddaughter home.

Putting down the tea bowl slowly, Lin Hai said: "The old lady has a heart, but these days, Yu'er has been exhausted from traveling and traveling, and her body can't stand it anymore. She is still taking medicine now. Wait for two days, and wait for Yu'er's body. It's so good, I will definitely send Yu'er to Rongguo Mansion to meet the old lady.

"It's just about the upbringing, let's leave it alone. Not to mention that the old man took the trouble to hire an old nanny from the queen mother's palace to act as Yu'er's nurturing nanny. My Lin family is not untrustworthy in this capital city." The old lady in the Jing'an Hou Mansion was originally my aunt, but because of some incidents that day, she hated the old man a little bit.

"Before entering Beijing that day, the old man wrote a book, asking her to work harder and take Yu'er to their house for a period of education. I think Yu'er will definitely benefit a lot from the old lady's teaching in the Hou's mansion. At that time, please forgive me, old lady."

"This..." Lai Da hesitated a little, he knew in his heart what is going on in the Jia family now, the old lady said she missed her granddaughter, but in fact it was just for her own family.That day Lian's second master sent Lin Daiyu to Gusu, he just lost her and didn't even get a fart. Up to now, the old lady is still on fire in her heart, and she doesn't want to see Lian's second grandma anymore.This is still his own grandson, so what brand name is he on?

"Um?!"

When Lai Da heard that the voice was obviously wrong, he was frightened immediately. After all, he was a person who had spent his life in the officialdom, and Lin Hai was not those people in the capital who flattered him.Lai Da had no other ideas by directly using his power to overwhelm him.

"Yes yes yes! I'll go back and report to the old lady right now." I didn't dare to stay at the Lin's house anymore, so I hurriedly resigned and left in despair.Lin Hai was left alone in the living room, wondering what he was thinking.

After a while, Lin Cheng came over, "Master, do you really want the eldest girl to go to Rongguo Mansion?" Lin Cheng did not forget that when the eldest girl came back that day, she looked cautious every step of the way. Girl, she was actually suppressed by a girl from an imperial businessman, this big girl is really enough.

"Hey, the old lady Jia has already talked about this, so what can I do? Anyway, Mrs. Jing'anhou has promised me that she will take Yu'er back to teach me personally. In this way, I have done the old man a great favor. Alas, the old man thought about it that day. Since it is his grandparents’ family, how could he be angry because of his granddaughter’s ostentation? On the contrary, we were afraid to trouble the people in their family too much, but in the end let those in their family The servants are bullying Yu'er! You go down and get ready, bring everything the girl can use, don't leave behind the maids, big and small, and Lu Nanny must follow, don't wrong my Yu'er Go and prepare a generous gift, master, I will go to the National Teacher's Mansion tomorrow."

"Yes, I'll go get ready now." Lin Cheng didn't know what Lin Hai was going to do, so he had to go down and get ready.
