The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

"Father..." Lin Ye looked at Lin Hai with moist eyes, and said with a sob.

Lin Hai went to pat Lin Ye on the shoulder, "You are all fathers, don't be a child, you are fine now." The last point, isn't it nonsense, thinking that a son like Lin Ye is not good, so there is no more Good man!

Lin Ye smiled happily, like a spring breeze.

"Father just came back to the house just now, so let's go and rest for a while. The Ministry of Rites is a bit busy recently, and uncle won't be back until later."

Lin Shen entered the Ministry of Rites after he was admitted to the Hanlin Academy after he was admitted to Tanhua. , are all under the control of the Ministry of Rites, Lin Shen, the right servant, can't escape even if he runs away.

"It's okay, I'm going to sleep now, I won't be able to sleep at night, and I have to go to the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow!" Lin Hai smiled slightly.

Lin Ye nodded, he was just making a suggestion, and Lin Hai still had the right to decide.

After waiting for Lin Shen to come back, Lin Hai and Lin Shen went to Master Lin's 'ward' again to talk about the current situation!

However, Lin Hai accidentally slipped a word, which immediately aroused Master Lin's dissatisfaction.

"Good boy, you know how to play tricks with your father. You know I'm worried about you, but you still haven't told me the truth." Master Lin's rough voice can be heard outside the door, and he doesn't have the demeanor of the head of the scholar's family at all.

Lin Hai hurriedly said in a courteous manner: "Didn't you ask before? My son didn't know that you cared about this matter. I'm talking about it. I haven't decided whether to report this matter to the emperor!"

Lin Shen continued, "How about stabbing Zhen Yingjia?"

'Boom' Lin Shen was fired up by Master Lin, and then he was scolded by Master Lin: "How can I have such an idiot son as you, isn't this an enemy?"

Master Lin has recently become like an old woman who has entered menopause, with a good temper.Every now and then he scolded people, and everyone guessed that it was because Mr. Lin felt that he was going to die soon, and if he didn't scold others, he would have no chance, so he scolded people vigorously.But in fact, Master Lin just lay dead on the bed all day, boring!

Lin Shen pursed his lips, and decided not to argue with Master Lin.

Lin Hai asked cautiously, "Then what's father's idea?"

Master Lin thought for a while before saying, "Show me that thing."

Lin Hai quickly handed the things in his arms to Master Lin, a volume of books, the reason why he carried them with him.It was because Lin Hai knew the importance of this thing, and he was worried about putting it anywhere, so he had to carry it with him.

Wait until Master Lin gets it.Randomly flipped through a page or two, and found that the whole book was full of money that official XXX received on XX, XX, XX, XX... The entire court, from the prince to the small official, was almost exhausted in the whole book.

Be aware of what is in your hand.Master Lin was so frightened that he closed the book at once, and asked sharply, "Where did you get this thing?" This book is simply a "dynamite bag". .

Master Lin thought that it was just Lin Hai who had the handle of some salt officials, but he didn't expect it to be this thing, although it was a good thing.But it is also a hot potato, which can stir the wind and rain outside, and at the same time, it can also disturb the Lin family's house.It might even be blown to pieces.

Lin Hai smiled wryly, "When my son and I rectified the entire salt administration, although the Song salt merchants in Yangzhou and his friends supported him, the salt merchants in other places did not object, so someone sent a few When the beautiful concubines came to the son's side, the son was not good at that. Therefore, although he accepted them, he sent those beautiful concubines to Zhuangzi the next day!

But I didn't think of it.There was a person inside, who was the daughter of the Yang family, a salt merchant in Suzhou.It happened that once when my son went to Zhuangzi to check the accounts, the girl from the Yang family immediately asked to see her son. I didn't want to see him at first, but later the daughter of the Yang family said that she had something important to report to me, so I did!I didn't expect that she would come up with such a thing. I didn't dare to make decisions privately at the time, and I knew that this matter was of great importance, so I never revealed it. "

Doesn't Lin Hai know what kind of consequences will be caused if this matter is exposed? It is because of knowing that Lin Hai has always pretended not to know.

"But that Aunt Yang in your backyard?" Master Lin asked.

Lin Hai nodded, "According to her, her grandfather was a side branch of the Yang family. He originally wanted to pursue an official career, but unfortunately he was suppressed by the direct branch, so he has been working in the Yang family while collecting evidence. It is a pity that her elder brother Here, the direct branch of the Yang family discovered that the action was too big, so her father and elder brother were killed! Later, the direct branch promised to raise her younger brother if she was willing to be his son's aunt.

For the sake of the younger brother's life, and for the revenge of the direct branch, she agreed!This thing was left to her by her elder brother, she must put it away properly, it is her last life-saving thing. "

In ancient times when the clan was the foundation of society, disputes between the direct branch and the collateral branch existed in every big family.As the patriarch, he can only be happy about the achievements of the clan, but the premise of this is that the direct branch is the head of the family.If the side branches are promising, surpassing the direct branch, and thus becoming more and more important in the clan, it is not impossible to even replace the direct branch.This kind of situation is something that the direct branch does not want to see, so it is natural to suppress and contain similar signs, and try to maintain the direct branch's status in the clan.

Not to mention, when Jia Daishan was alive, he once suppressed his concubine who wanted to get ahead by studying, because he saw that Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng could make good achievements in keeping the family business handed down. It will take at least five or sixty years to count on grandchildren, so the offshoots cannot be allowed to take this time to develop and surpass the direct branch, and may even eventually replace the direct branch.

Just like the Lin family, although it looks like a thriving family, those of the Suzhou Lin family who can go to Beijing to catch the exam have always been legitimate sons. Unless there is no legitimate son in the family, they will register the name of the son under the name of the mistress as a legitimate son.

What's more, for the Yang family who are merchants and merchants, they are naturally not allowed to spend their time in official positions and become masters.After all, Aunt Yang was well protected by her family, and she was still a little unclear about the world.Thinking simply, I feel that if the Yang family is rich, if someone in the court becomes an official, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.Don't you know that if they really acted like this, the Yang family would have been wiped out long ago and ceased to exist.

Could it be that the Yang family, which has been entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River for a hundred years, has not had a far-sighted man who can see the benefits of combining money and power, and is unwilling to have a son who can talk to the court?

It should be known that no matter how good the outsiders are, they can't compare with their own family after all.

Don't want to let the side branches start, can't the direct branches pick out a seed for reading after all these years?If the descendants of the direct branch are all dudes, how can they keep such a large family business of the Yang family and develop it into the head of Jiangnan business?

It's not that the Yang family doesn't want to have their own children in the court, but they can't.

The Yang family itself already has wealth that rivals any country, and many people in the court itself have been driven by the Yang family to speak for the Yang family by using this wealth.If the Yang family changes from a merchant to a noble family and enters the court, this situation is definitely not what those in power want to see.

The Yang family is not an official, and their money is eye-catching, but they can still save it.Otherwise, the day of entering the court will be the countdown to the fall of the Yang family.

Aunt Yang was originally a smart person, but because she was in the middle of the game and her eyes were covered by the "revenge" confusion, she didn't understand this truth.But Lin Hai is different, of course he can understand this truth.

Just like Xue Gao, Lin Hai has already made it clear to him that once Xue Biao is admitted to Juren, the commercial business of Xue Gao's family must be completely stopped, and he can manage some Zhuangzi by himself!Otherwise, there will definitely be a disaster of death.

Xue Gao never sees Xue Pan again, but he is still the name of the Xue family, the four major families. The "Xue family" here does not refer to the Xue Pan family, but to the Xue family.

So Lin Hai made it clear to Xue Gao that if he really wants Xue Biao to be an official, then from now on it is best not to have any contact with the Xue family in Jinling, otherwise Xue Biao will be admitted to the number one scholar in the future and can leave The road is still very short.

In the same way, unless the Yang family made up their minds to follow the path of officialdom, the direct branch would definitely suppress the side branch who wanted to take the official path.This is no longer a matter of fearing that the side branch will surpass the direct branch, it is a matter of the life of the entire Yang family involved.

"Then her younger brother?" Master Lin really couldn't make any choice in this matter for a while, Lin Hai was no longer sitting in the salt administration, even if it was revealed, it would not affect the Lin family.

But here comes the problem, if it is not exposed, it will have no effect on the Lin family, so it has nothing to do with the Lin family, why does the Lin family take the risk of offending a large number of people to expose it!

Lin Hai shook his head, "She died the second day after she entered the Lin family! I was afraid that she would tell the story, and the Yang family still had some power in the south of the Yangtze River, so I was afraid they would know something, so I pretended to be my aunt. !"

As for Kong Jiayi, Lin Hai had explained clearly to her that Kong Jiayi felt a little uncomfortable, but seeing Lin Hai treat Aunt Yang as a transparent person, he felt much more at ease, and believed Lin Hai's words a little.

Master Lin nodded. He agrees with Lin Hai's approach. It's better to put Aunt Yang, the time bomb, by his side than to be used by others. Besides, there are people from Lin Hai around, so I'm not afraid that Aunt Yang will go out and yell. .

"Leave this thing here for me first, wait until I find a good solution, then talk about it! By the way, prepare yourself, I'm going to separate in a few days..."
