Survive in the world of Red Mansions

There are always new topics in the capital. Cao Erye's feat of spending a lot of money on a brothel woman is enough to be regrettable, but after ten and a half months of heat, it will slowly start to dissipate. Of course, Cao Erye like this This behavior will still be used by parents from time to time in the future to talk about it, to educate and warn their unsatisfactory children and grandchildren, it is definitely a good negative example.

After Cao Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, took sick leave for a period of time, although his body still hadn't recovered, he was finally able to go to court again.It's a pity that when winter came, Cao Jian suffered from a bit of wind and cold when the temperature dropped, and lay down immediately. It was the not-so-severe wind and cold that made Cao Jian unable to get sick, even though Cao Jian had countless unwillingness in his heart , worried, but did not support him to stand up again, and in the end he could only leave this world with infinite regret and resentment.

During the period when Cao Jian was seriously ill, although Lin Hai was only the left servant of the household department, Lin Hai basically took over the affairs of the head of the household department. It's a deal.It's not that no one is tempted by the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance, but after the two emperors tried hard to no avail, the few people also subsided, and they knew that the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance was beyond their imagination.

Four years after the new emperor Li Min ascended the throne, Lin Hai finally took over the post of Minister of the Household Department after Cao Jian, the former Minister of the Household Department, died of illness, and put on the red golden pheasant robe of the second-rank civil servant.

Lin Hai was a member of the privileged class in his previous life. He was born in a high-ranking family. Many ordinary people can only imagine the life that can only be achieved through rebirth and time travel. He already had it long ago.After being reborn as Lin Ruhai, he didn't have time to think too much in order to save the lives of the father and son when he first came here. After slowly gaining a foothold and leaving the whirlpool of Yangzhou and coming to the capital, he felt a little more at ease.However, in this world, Lin Hai, Lin Rui and his son have always lacked a sense of security in some respects.

Therefore, on the one hand, Lin Hai hopes that his official career will be smooth, and even one day he can be named a marquis and worship minister, so as to protect his son better. Except for the emperor, no matter how high all the ministers stand, their life and death are just a matter of words to the emperor. At this time, I can only pray that I can meet a decent emperor.

Because of this, even though Lin Hai has always lacked a sense of reverence for the imperial power of this era, the two emperors still trust him now, but he has never relaxed his vigilance towards the royal family.In this case, since I am fortunate to be able to take over the position of Minister of the Household Department, I can only accept it happily.

In recent years, the Lin family rarely entertained guests except for necessity. One reason was that they did not want the emperor to see that Lin Hai likes to form cliques, and the other reason was that they simply found it troublesome.After Lin Hairong was promoted to the post of Shangshu this time, he didn't intend to have a large banquet, but several relatives and friends in the capital sent congratulatory gifts to their door, just afraid that the banquet would not be spared, so Lin Hai had no choice but to order Daiyu to go down to handle the matter. thing.

The only relatives and friends of the Lin family in the capital are the Jia family, the Yao family, the two gentlemen of Lin Hai's father and son, and Lin Xu, a member of the Lin family who now has a small home in the capital.

Lin Xu didn't do well in the Shu Jishi examination last time. Later, Lin Hai tried his best to find him a ninth-rank Wensi Academy ambassador in the Ministry of Industry.There are few big masters in Lin's house, so Lin Hai also invited Lin Xu to live in Lin's house at that time, but Lin Xu refused. It didn't matter if he used to borrow for exams, but now he will not live here after taking over his wife and children. Appropriate, his family rented a small courtyard, and he just got a real job. His hometown in Suzhou did not expect their salary to be taken back, but would subsidize them. He only hoped that his errands would go smoothly. Lin Hai felt that He was doing well, so he also ordered Daiyu to send people to deliver some food and so on.

The day of the Lin's banquet was specially arranged on Lin Hai's holiday.Since Lin Hai was promoted to be the Secretary of the Household Department, after discussing with Daiyu, the head steward and Daiyu specially decorated Lin's mansion to add a festive atmosphere to the whole mansion.

Early this morning, the housekeeper arranged for people to greet the guests in front of the mansion, and the Jia family and his party were the first guests to arrive.Seeing that the visitors were from the master's Yue family, the head steward hurriedly arranged for the servants to go inside to inform the master and the girl, and he hurried up to welcome them.

"Little Lin Zhong pays his respects to the uncle and the two young cousins, and greets the uncle and the two young cousins!" Here, the car sedans of the female relatives are arranged to enter the house.

The members of the Lin family felt that putting the Yao and Jia families together every time they held a banquet was really a kind of torture.It’s okay if there are too many guests, even if there are some families who don’t deal with it, they can be separated, but the relatives of the Lin family in the capital are Jia Yao’s family, it’s impossible to separate them, and it’s impossible to be like the New Year every time Come separately please.

Like this banquet is taking advantage of Lin Hai's holiday, it is impossible to separate the two families, but this time there are many people from Jia's family, especially the women's family, a group of people are talking and laughing, right? Embarrassed.Daiyu also knew that the few cousins ​​of the Jia family hardly had the opportunity to go out all year round, so this time she specially posted a post for the two cousins ​​of the Jia family, which could be regarded as letting them go out of the house to relax.

Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu and others had just entered the Lin residence and walked a certain distance when Lin Hai came up to him, "Ruhai has met my uncle."

Jia Amnesty in Rongguo Mansion is basically a person who only cares about eating, drinking and having fun, and ignores everything else. He doesn't feel any jealousy towards Lin Hai's promotion. Instead, he is quite happy for Lin Hai. !" Lian Er and Bao Yu on the side also rushed forward to greet Lin Hai.

Considering that there are only a few male guests today, Lin Hai took them directly to the outer study.It's not just because Jia She is fond of antiques, but just one antique, a pair of calligraphy and painting can be evaluated and discussed for a long time, without worrying about having nothing to talk about.Even after cousin Yao and Mr. Xu come later, everyone can have something to talk about together.

After Yao's cousin, Yao's nephew and Mr. Xu arrived, they reviewed a few antique calligraphy and paintings, and finally the atmosphere was not too cold.Although Lin Xu and Lin Yun also sat together, it may be that people really need fate to get along with each other. Every time Lin Hai saw Yao Jia and his family sitting together, he felt very sick to his stomach.

After finally sending the group away in the afternoon, Lin Hai seemed to have completed a task, and finally felt relieved. Treating guests to dinner at any time is a waste of time and money.

Lin Hai was lying sideways on the couch in the study room, holding a book, flipping through it casually, thinking that today he had found a chance to mention Yingchun's marriage with Jia She, and Jia She really did, directly saying that Yingchun would follow Old lady, he doesn't care.

Perhaps the experience of the two lives is too much, and the heart has become more and more hardened.Zhao Ze's eldest son has not yet arrived. Lin Hai and Jia She have mentioned the marriage of Yingchun, and they also hope that Jia She can see the age of his biological daughter. If there is a suitable candidate, he can make a decision as soon as possible. Don't wait and wait. Still waiting for the "Zhongshan wolf", I also hope that Yingchun can get rid of this man Sun Shaozu, but obviously I am meddling in my own business, and I will not waste my time in the future to meddle in these things. Look at her own good fortune.

Lin Hai's original sympathy for Yingchun was also let go because of this. When he was thinking about the marriage of other people's children, he didn't expect that someone would remember his son.

After Jia's mother came back from Lin's house, she also sympathized with the hard work of the two daughter-in-laws, so she didn't let them wait on her, and let them go back.Jia Mu sat leaning on the small kang table and couldn't help sighing.

Yuanyang sat on the ottoman below, knocking Jia Mu's legs and said, "What's wrong with the old lady, Mrs. Lin has just been promoted to the second rank of Shangshu, isn't it just a happy thing?"

"Yuanyang, don't be too busy, let the little girl do these things." He waved his hand to make Yuanyang stop knocking, "My son-in-law has become a minister, I can only be happy, I just think of my two grandchildren, alas!"

Yuanyang listened to the old lady's words, although everyone said that he was the No. I know how to be filial to you, do you see how the presents I present every time I come here are in line with your wishes?"

When Jia Mu heard what Yuanyang said, she couldn't help laughing and said, "You girl, you have a sweet mouth!"

Mother Jia has always regretted not being able to arrange the marriage of two jades with Jia Min back then. If the marriage of Daiyu and Baoyu had been arranged early in that year, Daizhu would have a strong foreign family in the future.The son-in-law is now the second grade, according to the current situation, it will be no problem to join the cabinet in the future.The granddaughter can't be counted on, but grandson Lin Rui is also 12 years old this year. It would be best if Jia Lin's family can get married again.

Mother Jia pulled Sanchun over again. From the perspective of age and concubine, only Xichun from Xifu is the most suitable, but if Ningguofu and Lin family marry, the relationship between Lin family and Rongguofu will be much weaker in the future, and it is impossible to let The Lin family came to support Baoyu.However, it would be appropriate to record Tan Yatou under the name of the second child's family. Although Tan Yatou is two years older than Brother Rui, women are older and know how to hurt others. This is better. The son of a second-rank official, no matter how you say it, he is well-matched.Tan Yatou has always been on good terms with Baoyu. After the two families get married again, they don't have to worry about their son-in-law and grandson not doing their best to support Baoyu. There is another Jialin and his family who are close, which is also a good thing for the empress in the palace. Discuss with the two.
