Survive in the world of Red Mansions

When the two father and son were playing chess on this holiday, Lin Rui talked to Lin Hai about it, "Father, you said that the emperor has always entrusted me with these things, just because I have a good understanding of numbers." Is it more sensitive? Or do you have other ideas?"

Lin Rui looked at his father who was sitting on the other side, giving people the impression that he was still as elegant and elegant as ever, but he still gave people an alluring aura after being in a high position for many years, and only in front of himself would he completely restrain all the aura in his body. Kindness and gentleness remain.

Lin Hai is considered to be well maintained, but no matter how well maintained he is, after all, he is almost 60 years old, and he already has fine wrinkles around his eyes and a lot of white hair.Lin Rui looked at Lin Hai like this, and sometimes he couldn't help feeling sad. In this life, he and his father were too different in age. He had just entered the official career, and his father was already old, but even so, his father would not Leave the court early.

The father in the previous life, it can be said that he lived a reckless life. When did he bow his head to others, but when he came to this different world, where the imperial power is above all, he was almost 60 years old, because he really couldn't leave until now. You have to be careful, in the intriguing court, and the emperor and other courtiers are trying their best to intrigue.

Lin Hai didn't speak immediately when he heard Lin Rui's words. He just looked at the chessboard on the table, pinched the obsidian chess pieces in his hands, and tapped the table lightly. After a long time, he asked, "What do you think? What do you think?" Why do you do it now?"

Lin Rui thought for a moment, "The emperor plans to train me and give me a chance? And is he going to let me work in the Ministry of Households, or let me go through all the six departments, and then arrange my specific position?"

"Don't you see it quite clearly?" Lin Hai looked at his son and said with a smile, "You are definitely not the only one who is proficient in numerical calculations. People who are proficient in auditing and accounting are usually just low-level people. Little officials, they are good at this. Those old accountants are not necessarily worse than you in terms of accounts, but they are basically in low positions. Civilian officials with orthodox imperial examination backgrounds don't have much respect for them.

You are really born in the imperial examination, and you are still ranked first. You have been recognized by those academicians in the Imperial Academy for so long. At the same time, in terms of accounting, after these years of study, you are no worse than those accountants. Even stronger than them in many aspects, it is precisely because of this that it is difficult to find a second one like you in the current court, and it is probably precisely because of this that the emperor will consciously promote you. "

"It turns out that I'm still a talent. Congratulations!" After Lin Rui finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing.

"Since you have decided to pursue an official career, it is a good thing to give you more opportunities now, and to be willing to promote you in this way. Originally, my idea was to let you stay in the Imperial Academy for a year or two, and then let you go to Liubu for a few years. , and then go abroad to accumulate qualifications, and then return to the capital to work.

Now that you are in front of the current emperor every day, you are too attractive to him, and it is difficult to operate. You can only see what he wants, but he is willing to give you more opportunities, so he will not deliberately suppress it.

From these years, I found that for the current emperor, if a person is favored by him, as long as he can do things, he will be very tolerant to you, and he will not pay too much attention to some small details. As far as the emperor is concerned, it can be regarded as a horse! "

"Father, I don't care about the other things you said, but whether I have been in the Imperial Academy or entered the Sixth Division, I am not going to be released, unless it is in the surrounding areas of the capital, otherwise I will not be sent to other places!" Lin Rui Hearing what Lin Hai said just now, he hurriedly expressed his thoughts clearly.

When Lin Hai heard what his son said, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? Why don't you want to? If you let it go outside, it's easy to rise up the rank, and it's hard to live in the capital all the time!"

"If I go to other places, it's better if I'm close to the capital. If I'm far away, if something happens in the mansion, I won't be able to make it back."

Lin Rui decided very early on that he would not leave the capital. His father was getting older every year. If something happened, the day lily would be cold by the time he came back slowly.Now there are no planes, trains, etc. in this place. Whether you take a boat by water, or take a car or horseback by land, it is very slow!

"...!"

Lin Hai looked at his son's determined face, and fell silent. He probably guessed what Lin Rui meant, and he was probably worried that he was getting old and that something unexpected happened to his body.But since Lin Rui has said this, he still knows his son's temper, and he is usually very talkative. As long as it involves himself, there is basically no possibility to change it, so there is nothing to persuade. If you are in the capital, you should be in the capital. Have yourself It's good to watch from the sidelines, it's really not as convenient as in modern times, and he doesn't want his son to leave him too far, so that's good!

Seeing Lin Rui like this, Lin Hai didn't continue the above topic, and started to chat about other things, "You are doing well in the Imperial Academy now, since the emperor is watching from the sidelines, let's do this for now! Your same year Xiao Zongbo seems to be trying to find a way to release it, have you noticed?"

"I didn't pay attention to this, but it's not surprising that Xiao Zongbo seeks to be released. It's true that Xiao Zongbo is a man on the surface, but his ambition is also obvious. Those who can stay in the Imperial Academy are not smart. Time After a long time, others will always feel that Fang Helin is more popular than Xiao Zongbo after a long time.

Originally, the Hanlin Academy had a large number of personnel according to the platoon, and a large number of people had nothing to do, so it was too difficult for Xiao Zongbo to get ahead in the Hanlin Academy.He is old enough to have the advantage of being old. He can be an official and take charge of the government. As the second place, it shouldn't be difficult for a county magistrate of a medium-sized county, right? "

"That's the way it is said, but there are many alternate officials. It depends on his luck. Although the county magistrate is only seventh-rank, he is still a real job. Being an official is much more difficult than being in the Imperial Academy. Well, when a vacancy comes out, I don’t know how many people want to fight for it, Xiao Zongbo wants to get it, it’s not easy!"

Lin Rui couldn't help but nodded. Although Xiao Zongbo has now been promoted to the sixth rank in the Imperial Academy, he is only a vacant position in the Imperial Academy. It is definitely not as good as being a county magistrate who holds real power.

Thinking of this, Lin Rui suddenly thought that if Xiao Zongbo couldn't find any other way out, he wouldn't have found his father, right? "Father, Xiao Zongbo is trying to find a way to release him outside. What's the matter with him now? He won't be able to find him someday." Go to the door and find me, let Dad help you?"

"Now Xiao Zongbo seems to be using his father's relationship. If it doesn't work, he will probably find you, but this is not surprising. You are in the same year, and now you are both in the Imperial Academy. Isn't this the current relationship?"

"If you come to the door, do you want to push it away?"

"It's not a big deal, but let's talk about the specific situation when the time comes."

Lin Rui also knew what Lin Hai meant. As a member of the cabinet, it is not difficult to confirm the vacancy of a county magistrate. However, Xiao Zongbo is only his own year after all, and this favor has to be weighed to see if it is worth it.

After this conversation, the two father and son never argued over whether Lin Rui should be released to other places in the future.As a son, Lin Rui is worried about his aging father, so he doesn't want to stay away from his father; as a father, Lin Hai, facing his son who has been doted on for two lifetimes, is willing to follow his son's will, and he is unwilling to let his only son Worry.

Lin Hai has always paid great attention to health preservation. Even though Lin Hai's body was worse than ordinary people in the early years, after these years of careful maintenance, the effect has been good, and Lin Hai does look younger than most people of the same age.But even so, after this conversation, Lin Hai paid more attention to this aspect.It's not that he is afraid of death, but he is afraid that one day after he leaves, leaving his son alone in this world is too lonely.Two generations of people, two generations of father and son, the relationship between Lin Hai and Lin Rui, the father and son, may be closer than the relationship between most other fathers and sons.

Lin Rui has been married for several years. As a daughter-in-law born in the palace, Li Jingya has actually done a good job, but even so, Lin Hai can understand that his son does not have much affection for this wife.Of course, Lin Rui has done a good job in daily life. So far, he has not slept with any other women. He usually buys some jewelry, snacks, etc. from time to time and gives them to Li Jingya, Xiu Mu Ri will often accompany his wife back to the palace or accompany her to offer incense or something.

In this society, it wasn't Lin Hai who helped Lin Rui. A married man who could do what Lin Rui did was definitely a good man and husband.Lin Rui has always been gentle and considerate to Li Jingya since the beginning of his marriage, but even so, there is always peace in the depths of his eyes.We have been married for several years now, Lin Rui has changed a little when facing Li Jingya, when he looks at Li Jingya, there is finally some warmth in the depths of his eyes, but that's all, there is no other change up.

Not to mention that Daiyu already had two children, one son and one daughter, even Jia Lan, Xichun and others who got married later also had children.Compared with other people, Lin Rui, who is in his twenties, has no children yet, and many people are really anxious.Regarding the grandson, Lin Hai has always held an indifferent attitude. When they first got married, they were too young, so Lin Hai told Lin Rui to have a child two or three years later.Now that the two have been married for almost five years, Lin Hai can see clearly that not only himself, Lin Rui also seems to have an indifferent attitude towards the child, and it doesn't matter whether they are there or not.

Seeing Lin Rui like this, sometimes Lin Hai himself would think about it, if he had a child, would Lin Rui not bet all the affection between relatives on himself?If there is a child, will it be better? When one day I leave this world, will my son be less sad and less lonely?
