Survive in the world of Red Mansions

Lin Hai opened the document sent by the governor of Lianghuai, and thought of the news he received on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and there was something he didn't understand.

Through the letter sent by Wei Shijie, it was basically confirmed that Wei Shijie was really not one of the three princes. Although he still didn't quite understand that Wei Shijie had been a little bit hard on him in business matters, after all, it didn't affect the overall situation, and there was nothing to worry about.

But the Zhen family's idea is really beautiful. On the one hand, let the Bao family take action against their son. If there is something good or bad about their son, they should marry another one in order to carry on the family; on the other hand, if their only son has an accident, it is also for themselves A huge blow is not to marry a new person. It would be great if he could find the loopholes in his salt administration work through the opportunity.

On the other hand, find Wei Shijie to spread the word in the middle. If luckily succeeds, Wei Shijie and himself will be tied to the boat of the Zhen family and the third prince; It is also good for Lin Hai to connect with them.

The person who proposed this idea also thought too well. Do you think that Lin Hai and Wei Shijie will definitely do what they think?Or do they have other ideas, but they just don't know it yet?

Lin Hai met the person sent by Wei Shijie to deliver the letter in person, handed the reply letter to the person, and said to him:

"My little brother, please give this letter to the governor, Mr. Wei, and tell Mr. Wei that the next official accepts his favor. Thank you this time!"

"My little one will pass Master Lin's letter and what you said to my master," the servant bowed and retreated.

Lin Hai sat in the study and thought for a while, and asked two staff members, Zhao and Li, to come over. After the two sat down first, Lin Hai said:

"I just received a letter from Jinling from Jinling from Wei Shijie, governor of Lianghuai." Li Tuo and Zhao Ze were surprised when they heard that the governor of Liangjiang had sent a letter.

"Master Wei has always had opinions on him some time ago, why did you send someone to send a letter in person at this time?"

"Master Wei mentioned in his letter that Ye Wenjin, the prefect of Jinling, entrusted him to be my matchmaker. The woman is Ye Wenjin's cousin who later married his wife."

As soon as Zhao Ze heard it, he guessed that there should be something wrong with the woman, and hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong with the woman?"

Lin Hai smiled and said: "You have also guessed that the wife Ye Wenjin married later was a collateral sister of the same clan as the second wife of the Zhen family, Mrs. Zhen Yingcheng. If I really marry this sister, can I get rid of the relationship with the Zhen family? ? What would the emperor think of me if he knew about this?"

"Is your lord really not planning to marry someone new again? Mrs. Zun has passed away for a short time. If it's been a year, more people should care about your lord's issue."

Li Tuo said beside him, "Your Excellency, you'd better have a charter."

"Yes, many people have come to my place to inquire. My lord is now in the position of Yanzheng, not only the third prince and the Zhen family, but the first prince and crown prince have been eyeing the position of lord. This year, my lord is again I've been re-elected once, and since I can't put my own people in this position, it would be a good way to pull the adults over through marriage." Zhao Ze also said beside him.

"Master, Mr. Zhou is here." Lin An's voice came from outside the study.

"Mr. Zhou, please come in."

After Zhou Tao sat down, he said: "Master Lin asked me to check the relationship between Wei Shijie and Cui Huan, Governor of the Huaihe River and Huaihe River some time ago. The prince sent someone to pass the news. Cui Huan was a disciple of Wei Shijie in the same year, and this same year. After helping Wei Shijie a lot, one of Cui Huan's clan brothers married a niece of Mr. Wei's in the same year, but she has been an official in other places in the same year, so everyone doesn't know the relationship."

When Lin Hai heard Zhou Tao say this, he replied: "It's no wonder, Mr. Wei should not be angry that this disciple of the same year was promoted secretly, and he was a little dissatisfied with me. According to the current situation, it doesn't seem to be good for me. What a big move."

Then he roughly repeated the letter sent by Wei Shijie, "Also, I got news that the Zhen family may attack the children through the salt merchant Bao's family. Now I only have one son and one daughter, although people have strengthened it. Take precautions, but just in case..."

"My lord, would you like to ask the prince to send some more people to protect Young Master Ling and Qianjin?"

Zhou Tao has understood from the time he came to the Yan government that Lin Hai's biggest concern now is the safety of his two children, and everything else must be left behind.

"Qian" The Lin family has been passed down for several generations, and there has never been any prodigal son. The dowries of several generations of mistresses have been quite a lot. Lin Hai has stayed in this position for many years. Lin Hai is not greedy anymore. There are also a lot of gifts in normal life, and the Lin family has no shortage of money; "Quan" Lin Hai has now reached the third rank, which is very rare among people of the same age, so what Lin Hai values ​​​​most is the safety of his family. Lin Hai is really not as enthusiastic as others. It is indeed the right move for his prince to start with Lin Hai's children from the very beginning.

"In this case, I would like to thank the prince first! Now the Zhen family is pressing every step of the way. If we continue to ignore and fight back, the arrogance of the Zhen family will only become more arrogant."

Li Tuo said worriedly: "What do you plan to do, my lord? This should not be a good time, right? Because of the third prince and imperial concubine Zhen, the Zhen family's arrogance has become even higher during this period. Isn't it a good time to bump into it now?" ?”

"Now that the old lady Zhen is still here, and the imperial concubine Zhen is here, the emperor will not do anything to the Zhen family at present, but the Bao family is different. The Bao family has made enough money relying on the Zhen family these years. If the Bao family is captured The exact evidence of selling private salt, the current state treasury is not very rich, I don't think the emperor will mind if we copy the Bao family, copying the Bao family will not only make the Zhen family lose a large source of income, but also increase the state treasury. The emperor will be happy with a certain amount of income. If one Bao family is missing, other families will make up for it.

Someone from my side has come to Bao Chengfu's side, and now I hope she can get the account book as soon as possible. It would be better if you can find other ways to find the account book. It is best not to delay this matter for too long.What do you mean by gentlemen? "

Zhou Tao thought that if the Bao family copied it, he would support other salt merchants, so he might as well take this opportunity to let people supported by his prince intervene. With the support of Lin Hai, a salt official, he is not afraid that this matter will fail.Although Lin Hai said that someone from him had come to Bao Chengfu's side, but he didn't know how long it would take for it to happen, so it's better to lend a helping hand in this matter so that it can be done as soon as possible.

"My lord has some manpower in the south of the Yangtze River. Why don't I report to my lord to see if my lord's people can help me?"

"With the help of the prince and Mr. Zhou, I think this matter will go smoothly."

What Lin Hai said just now was because he hoped to get the help of the fourth prince's staff in Jiangnan. If he could get the help of the fourth prince, this operation should go more smoothly.Besides, if something happens in the future, it would be better to ask the fourth prince to help. Now it would be great to get Zhou Tao's reply.
