The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

Besides, after returning that day, Lin Hai was very curious about Zhao Xuan's marriage to the princess, and then inadvertently told Master Lin that he had slipped his tongue!

Lin Hai is not interested in investigating his friend's private affairs, after all, it concerns other people's private affairs.But Master Lin smelled something unusual in this matter, so he secretly hid it from Lin Hai and asked people to inquire about it. There is no impenetrable wall in this world. As long as you have the heart, money and power, you can't find out anything. , It is certain things in the palace, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can find out, let alone this matter!

So soon, Master Lin investigated what happened in the Zhao family!After getting the things from the investigation, Mr. Lin was shocked. These people must be a little too courageous!And this is a bit too ruthless, this kind of thing of cutting off children and grandchildren can be done without fear of any retribution. I heard that after death, I will go to the eighteenth level of hell.

Thinking of the behavior of the eldest son recently, he called Lin Hai and talked about it.

Lin Hai took what Mr. Lin showed him, and he was also taken aback. At this time, there are only things you can't think of, and there is nothing that others can't or dare not do. thing!

In the first few years of marriage, the first wife would give her husband's wife contraceptive soup. This is what almost every wife in the main room does. Therefore, if the wife in the first room can't get pregnant for several years after getting married, she will stop. Tongfang's contraceptive soup.But there will definitely be private means, but if you can't conceive for more than ten years and give birth to your own child, the general wife of the first wife will do the trick of removing the mother and keeping the child, and hug the concubine to her side to raise her !

It's not because of generosity or anything, but because of the etiquette of this era, if you don't have a son, you can either find someone from the same clan to adopt him, or you can just cut off the lineage.All the family property belongs to the clan, and if there is a daughter or something, they can get a share of the dowry, but it is pitifully small!

So whether it is for someone to take care of me when I get old in the future, or someone to pay homage to me and sweep my grave after a hundred years, generally when I can't give birth, I will let my concubine give birth.

The original book also said that the original owner actually had a son who died when he was three years old, although it was not clearly stated whether it was Jia Min's son.But in the future, from the mouths of Jia's mother and the people around her, they only said Jia Min, and didn't mention this son at all.So Lin Hai boldly guessed that he was the bastard.

It can be seen that even though Jia Min took control of the entire inner courtyard of the original work first, she still left incense for the original work according to the etiquette and customs of this time when she could not give birth to a son.And it's even said in the original book.It was because of the death of this concubine that Jia Min was overly sad, his health deteriorated day by day, and then he passed away!Of course, Lin Hai didn't know how much water was in it.

But thinking about it now, there is another detail in the original book, the original owner just passed away.Over there, Jia Yuanchun was conferred the concubine!

It is said that Jia Yuanchun was named a concubine because of Qin Keqing, because of Cao Dada's judgment, "Love in the sky, love in the sea, and illusion of love and body, when love meets, it must be master."All the ramblings are honored.The quarrel started really well, but in fact, it was written in the original book that Jia Yuanchun had already become a concubine, and Qin Keqing died after that.

Although there are indeed very important things in this matter, it cannot be ruled out that the Jia family sold the original owner.After all, a new emperor succeeded to the throne at that time, and the patrolling censor was a very important position.The emperor's officials were greedy for this position, and the Jia family was greedy for the money of the Lin family.With the efforts of all parties, this possibility may not be impossible.

At least one thing is certain, that is, the Jia family must have received a lot of money from the Lin family, but I don't know if they will get all of it.At the beginning of the original book, Leng Zixing told Jia Yucun that the Jia family is also desolate, unlike the previous situation, now the population is increasing, the affairs are flourishing, there are many masters and servants, and there are many rich and honorable people , There is no one who plans and draws, and the daily expenses are not enough to be frugal. Now, although the outer shelf is not completely collapsed, the inner bag has been exhausted, and now only the outer shelf is left. It's long gone.

But after watching Jia's family build the extravagant Grand View Garden, the economic situation is not bad!

The Grand View Garden was built so well that even Jia Yuanchun, who was a lady in the palace, saw it, and silently sighed about the extravagance!The Qingliu area is like a wandering dragon. On the stone railings on both sides, there are crystal glass wind lamps of various colors, lit like silver flowers and snow waves. Sticking to the branches, each plant hangs several lamps; moreover, it is also the genus of the lotus and mallard in the pond, and they are all made of snail and clam feathers.

It is conceivable how much it will cost, not to mention other things, there is a small account in it, the Jia family sent people to the south of the Yangtze River to buy some opera actors to sing for Jia Yuanchun, the small opera and the incidental expenses cost nearly [-] silver , the cost of building other houses can be imagined.

Judging from the Zhao family's affairs, the death of the original owner while in office is very likely to be the work of the royal family. Of course, it may be that the emperor signaled it, and someone else did it.And looking at the original owner, what happened at that time seems to have the shadow of a lonely minister!There are no other relatives within the five generations, no sons to inherit the family business, and the only relative mentioned in the original book is the Jia family, an inconspicuous top relative. The fate of the original owner can be imagined.

"Father..." Lin Hai looked at Master Lin in surprise.

"Hey!" Master Lin sighed and said, "I let you watch this not for anything else, but to let you be careful everywhere, because my father knows that you have made a lot of limelight in front of the emperor recently. It can be attributed to your youthful vigor, but you only need to grasp a degree, sometimes the emperor is not omnipotent, everything depends on yourself."

"Yes, the child has been taught!" Lin Hai lowered his head, listening to Master Lin's reprimand, he also knew that he was a bit of an early bird during this time!It's just that Emperor Xuande has been dealing with customs matters during this period. Lin Hai was the first to bring up this matter. Although it was not him who took care of everything, but the wisdom of the court officials, Emperor Xuande still likes to find Lin Hai sometimes. Discuss something.

It seems that I have to be more vigilant!At least find something to divert everyone's attention.

And there are still people who do it without anyone noticing it. It's best to let others reveal it first.

"By the way, after you meet Jiang Qi tomorrow, ask him to read more about taxes and profits." Master Lin said suddenly.

"But is there any news from the Ministry of History?" Lin Hai was taken aback for a moment, and then he reacted and asked.

Master Lin nodded, "If there are no accidents, this matter will be completed, but the highest official positions will be appointed by the emperor. This cannot be done by the father, and he has to rely on himself. Anyway, the opportunity is for the father. He won it for him!"

Lin Hai nodded. This was also expected. The highest officials must be appointed by Emperor Xuande.

"By the way, look at this!" Speaking of Jiang Qi going to the south of the Yangtze River to visit the tax collectors, Master Lin remembered the letter sent by the Lin family in Suzhou just now.

"Oh!" Lin Hai took the letter from Master Lin, opened it and read it, his face changed slightly after reading it.He frowned and said, "What the patriarch means is that recently, many people have been sneaking around in Jiangnan, and they have been constantly planting people in Jiangnan."

"Yeah!" Jiang Nan.Especially in Suzhou, where the Lin family has been operating for hundreds of years, with countless contacts from all walks of life. Moreover, the reputation of the Lin family is not as strong as that of the Kong family, and some actions have not been noticed by the emperor.Naturally, we can calmly and silently plant nails in many industries.

For example, the Fujian Lu family, which has been organizing a fleet with the Lin family to do business in the West, is a nail in the business of the Lin family.Otherwise, the Lu family in Fujian has neither the name of an imperial merchant nor a few powerful in-laws, how could they have been so peacefully embracing their million-dollar assets, a businessman these days.Especially rich businessmen, in the eyes of the rich and powerful, they are like fat sheep. When they have no money to spend, they will be rich if they slaughter one!

Of course, this matter is also an expression of goodwill from Master Lin and Lin Hai to the Lin family of the Su family.He has already supported several Suzhou Lin family's children. After taking the fifth and sixth rank official positions, the Suzhou patriarch went to Beijing to tell Master Lin and Lin Hai in person. This can be said to be the last trump card of the entire Lin family.

After hearing this, Master Lin and Lin Hai felt more than lucky.If they hadn't shown kindness to Suzhou Lin's family before, then they would never know about it!Lin Hai couldn't help thinking that the master of the Central Plains in the original book probably didn't know about it!After all, it can be seen from the fact that he entrusted sister Lin to the Jia family instead of the Lin family.

In the case of clansmen and relatives.Entrusting his only heir to someone with a foreign surname is simply a slap in the face of the family. No wonder sister Lin ended up like this back then, and no one else from the Lin family came out to make a sound. I'm afraid they are all annoyed by the original owner in their hearts!

It could be said that with the help of these connections from the Suzhou Lin family, the original owner would not have ended up in such a fate!Moreover, Lin Hai felt that the original owner could not be entirely blamed. After all, the original book said that the original owner's parents died young, and it was too late for the original owner to revive his own family.

But there is another thing that makes Lin Hai very puzzled. How did the people who talk nonsense about the Jia family in the original book think that Sister Lin is not as good as Xue Baochai.I don't even think that sister Lin was keeping a filial piety at that time!It is appropriate to wear clothes and headgears that are plain and colorful, and it is not appropriate to wear colorful headgear.But Xue Baochai is not in the filial period, her father should have died long ago!The clothes are only slightly better than when sister Lin was wearing mourning.

Not to mention anything else, even now that Feng Chao has relaxed the restrictions on businessmen, it is only allowed to wear ordinary silk!It is simply impossible to wear brocade and cloud brocade, which can only be worn by people with corresponding official positions.There is even a decree that businessmen are not allowed to wear boots. I remember that there was a businessman who wore a pair of boots to the street in the previous dynasty, and was finally sued, and the magistrate directly sentenced him to have his legs cut off.

It can be seen how low its status is.

Ps:

[I don’t know if it’s because Lanlan didn’t add more chapters in time, which led to her poor grades recently. Some people may say that Lanlan’s words don’t count.But Lanlan just wants to say that Lanlan has something to do recently. She has to go to class during the day and go to work as a young man, so she only has a little time to code at night. Two chapters a day is already the limit. Lanlan stays up almost every night!Debt repayment can only be delayed!In fact, if Lanlan was a little more shameless, she could have marked her as repaying the debt on the second update every day, and guaranteed that she would pay it off immediately, but Lanlan didn't do that!So please forgive me Lanlan, I guess this Sunday, I won’t be arrested and become a strong man, I should be able to repay a few chapters]
