Survive in the world of Red Mansions

Cao Erye of the Cao family spent a lot of money on an oiran, and bought a foreign house, and then Cao Shangshu asked for sick leave and could not go to court. , There are many masters, not everyone's mouth is so strict, so Cao Jian was seriously ill in bed for some reason, that is, Mrs. Cao used thunder to suppress the insider, but someone still knows.

It's not that the censor knows about this. If Cao Shangshu is now going to the court every day, there is no guarantee that there will be a censor attending Cao Shangshu who is not strict in governing the family, but now Cao Shangshu is seriously ill and cannot go to court. If he still strikes at this time Participating in Cao Jian, it is easy to make people feel a little cold-blooded, and there are also some suspicions of adding insult to injury. Of course, if the emperor gives other instructions, that is another matter.

Since the new emperor came to power, he wanted to deal with Cao Jian in order to give up the position of Minister of the Household Department, but now that something like this has happened, the emperor is not in a hurry to take action, lest his father feel that he can't tolerate him back then. Some veterans.Some time ago, I mentioned the successor of Hubu Shangshu, and I was right not to mention Lin Hai, so instead, my father proposed Lin Hai as the candidate.

If Cao Jian was in good health before, no matter how angry he was when he encountered this kind of thing, it would not be a big deal, but with his current physical condition, he is really not sure how long he can last?Whether it is the emperor, the common people, or beggars, most of them are afraid of death, and Cao Jian is the same. He is not only afraid of death, but also afraid of the future of the Cao family if he dies.If I die now, all my sons have to keep their filial piety. The elder son has served as magistrate for two terms. It is a real job, and now it is very secure. Grandson Cao Ying will take the examination next year, and there is a great possibility that he will be awarded a Jinshi. If he dies, his children and grandchildren will be filial. After three years of filial piety, it is difficult to guarantee that the real jobs of the two sons can be kept. Even if the Cao family has a few relatives from noble families, it will not help.

Cao Jian originally wanted to lie down for a few days and go to court when his health was a little better, but he couldn't do it. After a few days, he was able to get up and sit, not to mention going to court, and even walking a few steps was difficult. Cao Jian asked for sick leave again. If I can't get up for another ten and a half months, I have to ask for a rest by myself.Cao Jian really hoped that the emperor would give him a little face as a veteran, but if his health was really bad, he would have the emperor's face, and the emperor would be dissatisfied.As the chief official of the six ministries, it is impossible for me to ask for a long-term leave. If I can't go to court normally in a few days, I can only resign on my own initiative. I also hope that what I do can make the emperor see a little face for this old minister. First, it would be better to take care of my son.

Regarding what happened in the Cao family, Lin Hai knew no less than others, but Lin Hai did not do anything superfluous.Not to mention that it is impossible for Lin Hai to change the emperor's decision, but from the perspective that Lin Hai is still Cao Jian's subordinate, if he talks too much at this time, he will also suffer from other people's problems, just as his son said, it is best to let nature take its course .

The Ministry of Household Affairs is busy these days, and autumn floods have occurred in several places. The emperor is anxious about disaster relief, and is considering whether to allocate funds from the treasury now, or to allocate food reserves from nearby areas for disaster relief. All these must be done carefully. Thinking about it, I can only urge the Ministry of Accounts to handle this matter.Shangshu Cao Jian happened to ask for leave at this time, and Lin Hai, as the left servant, was so busy every day that Daiyu even arranged for dinner to be delivered to the yamen these days.

After being busy for more than ten days, Lin Hai's work in the household department finally returned to normal, and this year's autumn list was released.Because Xu Jingzhi, the future son-in-law, participated in this year's Qiu Wei, Lin Hai also paid a little attention to it.

Since Xu Jingzhi finished the exam, although he tried his best to keep calm, he was still only a 15-year-old boy after all, and he always acted as if he was concerned about gains and losses.On the day when Guibang was announced, I got up early in the morning, but I was getting more and more anxious while waiting at home. Later, I felt that I was not a decent person, so I simply started to grind ink to write big characters.Xu Jingzhi knew that the Xu family had sent servants to guard them early on, and they would definitely report back to the mansion as soon as there was good news, and it was useless to be anxious.

I don't know how long it took, when Xu Jingzhi was completely silent in his pen and ink, he heard the excited voice of his little servant Shuyan, "I got it, the second master got it!"

Xu Jingzhi lost control of the brush in his hand, and a ball of ink dripped on the rice paper, but he didn't care about it at this moment, and hurriedly walked outside the study, "Did you really win? How many names?"

Shuyan, who came to report, nodded excitedly, "Really, really! The young one and the butler watched it very carefully. The second master won, 67th place!"

Standing in the yard, Xu Jingzhi couldn't help showing a happy smile on his usually calm and serious face, "Shu Yan, you go to the Lin Mansion and report the good news." Finally, I have lived up to my hard study for more than a year , I just hope that I can be more suitable for the identity of the son-in-law of the Lin family Tanhualang.

From the Lin family, Lin Hai went to the yamen, Lin Rui was in the Imperial College, and only Lin Daiyu was in the mansion. After receiving the good news from Xu Jingzhong, Daiyu was also happy, and hurriedly prepared a congratulatory gift by herself. Hui Mo condemned people to send it over.

Xu Zhen also got the news early in the Xingbu, and other people in the Xingbu naturally knew about it, but facing Xu Zhen's coffin face, unless he has a good relationship, he doesn't care about his cold face, and those with a normal relationship can only face it dryly. He expressed his congratulations.On the contrary, it was Lin Hai's side. Because of Xu Jingzhi's speech, many people came to praise Lin Hai for his vision. Words such as "young talent", "young talent", and "appointment and worship" were generously thrown at Xu Jingzhi and praised him greatly.

Lin Hai now has the same thoughts as Xu Jingzhi, and now that he is able to win the exam, it will make Daiyu look a lot better when she gets married. Although she will have the name of the second young lady of the Xu family after marriage, but a lady of talent and a lady of Juren, others will look at you Your vision is different, you can't blame the worldly world, who can escape the worldly life in this world? !

There were no other invitations today, so Lin Hai returned directly to the mansion after he was released from office.Some time ago, because of the busy affairs of the yamen, there was no time to exercise. I came back early today. After returning to the mansion, Lin Hai changed into short clothes and went to the specially set up practice room to get active.A practice room was specially set up for Lin Rui's convenience when he was in Yangzhou.After arriving in the capital, not only Lin Rui's yard had one, but Lin Hai's yard also had one prepared.The main courtyard where Lin Hai lived had enough rooms, and it was not like other houses where there were aunts and concubines living here, so before officially returning to the capital, someone opened up the three rooms in the main courtyard. It's time for the practice room.

From the Baguazhang taught by Master Fang Lei to the military boxing and military fighting techniques he learned in modern times, Lin Hai practiced everything he knew several times until his body was full of sweat and he felt tired. down.After resting for a while, he came to a bathroom specially set up in the main courtyard. The hot water in it was ready. After Lin Hai got into the hot water and lay down, he couldn't help exhaling comfortably.

Everyone in the whole house knows that the master and uncle both like to take a bath, and if there is no accident, they will take a bath twice a day, even in winter.Although it seems to others that heating hot water every day is troublesome and wastes firewood, but there are not many masters in the entire Lin Mansion, and there are many people waiting for it, so such a little trouble is really nothing. good.

Because Lin Hai was busy with government affairs some time ago, he only saw each other in the morning when Daiyu came to pay her respects. She didn't have a good talk together for several days, and finally had the chance today.

After dinner, Lin Hai thought that the Guibang had just come out today, and knew that someone from these two families must have come to announce the good news, so he asked, "Daiyu, Jingzhi and Yao's nephew, have the congratulatory arrangements been made?"

"It has already been delivered. As soon as the person who announced the good news left today, I arranged for someone to deliver it. Each person has one Duan inkstone and two pieces of Hui ink."

"Very well, Daiyu, prepare a similar congratulatory gift and deliver it to Mr. Song's house tomorrow. One of Mr. Song's grandsons is also on the list after taking part in the provincial examination."

"My daughter will arrange it. Is there any other family?"

Lin Hai thought for a while, although there are children of other officials who have participated in the Qiu Wei, but those who are from relatives in the capital in the same year know about this imperial examination, "That's it for the time being, if there are other gifts that need to be prepared I'll talk about it later. Daiyu, last time I gave you your mother's marriage list, and asked your Aunt Yao to draw up a list. Is there anything you don't understand after reading it?"

"Father..." Daiyu called out in embarrassment when she heard about her dowry.

"What's the matter with you, only our father and daughter are here, and your mother should have taken care of these things, but now that your mother is not here, and there is no one else in our family to do it, some things can only be taken care of by yourself Clothes, jewellery, fabrics, medicinal materials, etc., if you understand these things yourself, you can spend more time. If you don’t understand, you can ask Mr. Qiu and Nanny Li, or you can ask your Aunt Yao. Wooden furniture, farm I hand things over to the housekeeper directly for the store, etc. You can choose whatever you want in the warehouse. If you don’t like anything, just arrange someone to buy it. There are still two years left, so it’s not too urgent, just take your time. gone."

"Father, I can choose from the warehouse, and there is my brother!"

Lin Hai also put a lot of thought into Lin Daiyu's dowry, and only hoped that he could accompany more dowry to accompany her in the future.But in this era, money is not enough. As far as Lin Daiyu's current situation is concerned, many things are limited by grades and cannot be put into the dowry. There are also Xu's parents-in-law, who used to have 64 dowries back then. It cannot exceed this number, and it is better to have fewer sets.

"Our family is just you and your siblings. Are you still afraid of losing Rui'er's things? No more than 64 units of the Xu family's eldest grandma and young lady. There are also companion rooms and dowry maids. You have to start picking these now."

It's not that the Lin family doesn't have money. It has been passed down through several generations, and each generation's family property can only increase, not decrease. There is no such thing as simplification in the preparation of Lin's sister's dowry, and as much preparation as possible.

After Daiyu returned to her yard, she read a book in the inner study for a while, and when the sky gradually darkened, Lin Hai also put down her book, went out of the yard, and walked slowly towards Aunt Hong's yard.

Lin Hai came to the gate of Aunt Hong's courtyard. When the gatekeeper saw Lin Hai, she was busy paying respects and was about to go in to make an announcement. Lin Hai waved her hand and walked in.

After walking a few steps, I saw Yan Hong sitting on the porch with a few little maids, doing knitting work in her hands. When she unconsciously raised her head, she saw Lin Hai walking in, and hurriedly put down the work in her hand, "Master, You are here!" Seeing Lin Hai coming, the other servant girls were also busy saluting.

"There are a lot of people in the knitting room, so why bother to do it yourself? Besides, it's dark at this time, and careful attention has damaged your eyes." Lin Hai took Yan Hong's hand and said sternly as he entered the room.

"It's been a long day, and I have nothing to do, so I just do it myself to pass the time."

"You like it yourself, don't tire yourself out. Some time ago, you guys were obsessed with listening to books, why don't you let people in now?" Aunt Lan said at the time, every day was so boring that Lin Hai asked the housekeeper to invite him The female gentleman came in and told them stories to amuse them. As far as Lin Hai knew, they were very happy at that time.

When Yan Hong heard Lin Hai say this, she replied with a smile, "Yes, but I listen to it every day. What's the fun in listening to the front and knowing the back?"

Lin Hai also laughed when he heard what Yanhong said, and he probably knew that the most talked about by these female gentlemen might be about wit and beauty, and grievances are rewarded, but no, after listening too much, you will know a general idea There is nothing new about routines, so naturally I am not interested.

After entering the room, after Lin Hai sat down on the head, Yan Hong asked Lin Hai, "Master, it's getting late now, how about drinking Pu'er tea?" Lin Hai leaned on the head without making a sound, just nodded.

When Lin Hai drank the Pu'er tea made by Yanhong, he couldn't help laughing and praising, "Yanhong's craftsmanship is getting better and better!"

"Master likes it." After Lin Hai put the teacup on the table, Yan Hong stood behind Lin Hai while talking and laughing, "Master seems to be very busy these days, why don't I press it for you now?!"

Yan Hong's skill is really good. When the pressing is almost done, Lin Hai pressed Yan Hong's hand, "It's almost done, don't get tired, or I will feel bad!" Lin Hai's voice became softer and softer. The more depressed.

Yanhong replied with a charming smile, "Master is coaxing me again, I don't know why master loves me?" When Yanhong was giving Lin Hai a massage, the little maid in the room left, so the two of them have no scruples to tease now with.

"Want to know?" Lin Hai spread his legs, pulled Yan Hong who was standing behind him, put his arms around her waist and said with a smile, "I'll tell you later, okay?" Before he finished speaking, he reached out to Yan Hong In Hong's clothes, he touched from the waist up, from the back to the chest, slowly touched until Yanhong's pair of delicate breasts, and kneaded lightly or heavily, "Hong'er, it's hard here. oh!"

Yan Hong's panting became more and more serious. Although her whole body was so weak that she could only stand by relying on Lin Hai, she did not give in and shook Lin Hai's hand, "Master, you don't seem to be bad at all." !"

Lin Hai has been busy with the affairs of the household department during this period, and he hasn't come to the backyard for 20 days. Now that the beauty is pregnant, it's no wonder that she isn't hard.Yan Hong's clothes had been torn apart, Lin Hai hugged her close to him, sucked the red plum in front of him, swirled his tongue on it from time to time, felt Yan Hong's body was soft and slipped down from time to time, so he simply hugged Yan Hong and separated Sit on your thighs with both legs, and press Yanhong harder on your cock.But separated by several layers of fabric, she couldn't quench her thirst, so she helped Yan Hong to stand up, and pulled off the belt of her trousers inside the skirt, the skirt was still on her body, and after taking off her own clothes, Still hugging Yanhong, she sat back.

"It seems that Hong'er is ready?!" Lin Hai squeezed Yan Hong's cock, and whispered in her ear, "Come in, let's see how the master loves you!" Yan Hong put her arms around Lin Hai's neck, twisted After struggling to sit down, listening to Lin Hai's heavy panting, he said with a low smile, "The slave family is waiting for the master to feel distressed."

Yan Hong straddled Lin Hai's body, and without waiting for Lin Hai to move, she began to bump lightly or heavily.Over the years, Yanhong has also learned about Lin Hai's habits in love/things. He likes your active cooperation at this time. No matter how bold your actions are when you close the door, he doesn't think you are slutty, on the contrary, he likes you more.Lin Hai is very satisfied that these women have become more and more daring in bed affairs under his training/teaching these years, which is what suits him. He doesn't want to have sex with a wooden beauty, it's so boring.

Lin Hai hugged Yanhong, kneading her body with both hands, feeling that the impact was not enough, so he put his hands on Yanhong's buttocks, hugged her directly, walked to the bed a few steps away, and put her down, She also took advantage of the situation and pressed down, Yan Hong's legs were always wrapped around Lin Hai's waist, lying on the bed to meet Lin Hai's strong impact.

The author has something to say: Regarding this part of H, I have been struggling for a long time whether to write it or not. I think I should write it (I will be old in the future, and I will not be able to write it). A man in his 40s is not old. In a certain way It can be said that there is no sex/life in the middle of the year. Of course, I have mentioned it in a taboo before, but Lin Hai can't have any entertainment except for work and with his children. In fact, getting along with these women is also for Lin Hai. A form of entertainment that delights his body.

It is this section of H that is not written at first glance, without this cell.
