The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

Since the throne of the emperor, the lineage supporting the establishment of the new monarch and the lineage of the emperor have been fighting openly and secretly, and there are also centrists who are only loyal to the country and the people. The promotion and relegation of officials often involve the political structure.As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Lin Hai is often on the cusp of all kinds of battles. In the past few years, he has often been in trouble in the city, struggling left and right, exhausting his energy.

Jia Min felt sorry for his hard work, and even persuaded him to beg for bones after a cold, but he just smiled wryly.Later, in the middle of the night, I whispered with Jia Min beside the pillow, saying that I don't want to, but I really can't.

Lin Hai bluntly said that it would be easier if he was alone, or returned to his hometown after returning to his official position, or if he showed his sharpness and competed with others for a moment.But he has a wife and son, and he also wants to see Yu'er get married, Brother Zhang goes to school and gets married, and he wants to be a grandfather, so he inevitably wants to be more considerate in handling things, and he wants to deal with everything big and small. People can't speak when they suffer.The battle between courts and courts kills people invisible, even if he has been immersed in it for decades, he can only be careful everywhere and do it carefully.

Years of hard work, teachers and students reunited after a long absence, when Jia Lian saw Lin Hai's gray hair at the temples, he was a little stunned. unknown.

What Lin Hai did in the official department was to know people, and he watched Jia Lian grow up. He could tell what he was thinking at a glance, raised his eyebrows, and smiled with tea: "I haven't seen you for a few years, you are so cheeky." It’s also much thicker, so I dare to take any work on my body, and I’m not afraid of falling and hitting my feet.”

When it comes to imperial power, what is being fought for is the supremacy and authority. Not to mention Jia Lian who has not yet established a firm foothold in the court, even the two majesties will not be able to do everything according to their wishes.

Jia Lian also knew that he was overbearing, so he gave a wry smile.When high-spirited, everyone thinks that they are the ones playing chess, but in fact they are just one player in the game, fighting hard for family, relatives, friends, fame and fortune.The world is like this, and they can no longer be allowed to break free.

Seeing that Jia Lian's heart is still clear and he is not too complacent about being promoted to the throne, Lin Hai is relieved.There are ups and downs in the officialdom, how many people have survived the beginning and suffered a lot, but they just fell when they were full of ambition.Although Jia Lian was protected by the emperor, if the emperor seized the opportunity, even the Ninth Five-Year King would not dare to risk the world's disgrace to protect a courtier.

Nodding in satisfaction, Lin Hai felt a little melancholy, subconsciously raised his hand to touch his temples, and glanced at Jia Lian inexplicably.This brat thinks he is old, does Min'er Yu'er also despise him as a husband and father for being old?During the banquet at home the year before last, I heard that his wife praised him for his beauty, and Yu'er was proud of it for several days. If he held a banquet again after the year, wouldn't he disappoint his beloved wife and daughter?

As soon as Lin Hai touched his temples, Jia Lian was stunned for a moment before realizing it. He beat his chest and feet in his heart. He coughed lightly and started talking about the local fabric accessories he brought back from the south, talking about the emerging styles in Beijing in the past two years, and then he said Looking at Lin Hai's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he bit the bullet and calmly praised Lin Hai's outfit today, and praised him for his better demeanor than back then.

While boasting, Jia Lian also carefully avoided words and phrases that would remind people of the word "old man". He really felt that flattering was harder than taking an exam, and finally he got something not so chilling on Lin Hai's face. smile.

Although Lin Zhang was held by Lin Hai to listen in the study since he was a child, and he was raised as a big kid, he was still ignorant of his age and knowledge, and he was still ignorant of government and politics. It is even more impossible to know the idea.Lin Hai and Jia Lian talked for a long time, and he became more and more confused the more he listened, he didn't understand why his father came in and made fun of Lian's second elder brother, and he didn't understand why he talked about dressing and dressing up, things that mothers and sisters love to talk about .

But ignorance of these things did not prevent Lin Zhang from understanding the flattery in Jia Lian's next few words. He frowned and rolled his eyes beautifully. Mouth says he's a sycophant.

Jia Lian smiled slightly, but didn't feel annoyed.He is still in his 20s, and if he got married early, he would have given birth to a child as old as Lin Zhang, so it's hard to argue with an ignorant brat.

Of course, Lin Hai wouldn't ignore the eyebrow-eye lawsuit between his cousins. He couldn't help laughing because of his son's eccentricity, but also felt that everything was going well with this child, so he started to tease him a little.

Lin Hai was Jia Lian's mentor, and he personally enlightened Lin Zhang. The knowledge of the two of them was taught by him. It was normal for the three of them to talk about schoolwork, so Lin Hai started amicably. Speaking of the sentence in the Analects of Confucius, "Gentlemen focus on the foundation, the foundation is established and the Tao is born".

The more simple the enlightenment textbook is, the deeper the profound meaning is, and the more knowledge-based it is to understand it.No matter how smart Lin Zhang is, and taught by a famous teacher, he is only eight years old after all. How can the ink in his stomach compare with Lin Hai and Jia Lian? It was quite sad to find that I couldn't say that I couldn't fight.

Lin Zhang frowned in a small group, and finally held back from buttoning his waist. Lin Hai and Jia Lian hadn't discussed together for a long time, but they really talked about it with a bit of interest, and then learned from the classics of various scholars. When it comes to the political situation.When they finally paused for a while and got up to pour out the cold tea, they realized that Lin Zhang had already fallen asleep sitting on the chair at some point. Breathe long and evenly.

Lin Hai's heart softened, and he wanted to reprimand Lin Zhang for being unruly, but also felt sorry for him being too young to bear the burden, so he gave Jia Lian a silent chuckle.

Jia Lian understood, so she moved closer and asked for instructions solemnly: "When my cousin and I came to the front yard, my aunt told me to watch the time so that I could send my cousin there. I see that it's almost the same now. Let’s send my cousin there first.” Lin Hai nodded in satisfaction, and Jia Lian walked over lightly, carefully picked up Lin Zhang, and personally sent him back to the main courtyard.

Lin Zhang didn't sleep deeply, but this jolt woke him up a little.He opened his eyes in a daze, and found that he was wrapped in a fur coat, his body was warm, and there was a burst of sandalwood on his nose. He fell asleep in a daze.He didn't sleep well last night, and he couldn't hold on anymore.

He fell asleep until it was time to light the lamp, and then Lin Zhang suddenly woke up from the sweet dream. The first thing he did was to ask the nurses and maids who served him if Jia Lian had left.Hearing that he was still having tea in the main courtyard, he hurriedly crawled out of bed to find someone, and almost forgot to put on his shoes.

When we got to the main courtyard, we saw that there were two round tables in the main room, and a short gauze screen in the middle. Jia Min and Daiyu sat opposite each other on the east table, while Lin Hai and Jia Lian sat on the table. Talking on the west table, Lin Zhang rolled his eyes and went to Jia Min's side, lying in his mother's arms and whispering his ears, trying to make Jia Min ask Jia Lian to stay.For this cousin, he was really happy.

Of course, Jia Min wanted to stay with Jia Lian for a longer period of time, but she knew the importance of it. Jia Lian had been here for half a day, and when he went back, he would have to spend a little longer at night to deal with things. How could he stay longer, so she gave Lin Zhang a look and refused to let him go. Besides, Lin Zhang had no choice but to leave people at his table to eat, and was so angry that he ate half a bowl of rice.

After dinner, Daiyu led Lin Zhang to leave first, and Jia Min also went to the East Chamber to collect the things Jia Lian wanted to bring back. Lin Hai then talked to Jia Lian about some secrets of the official department in the past few years. It took a long time to give an outline.

Seeing that Jia Lian really listened attentively, Lin Hai was relieved, sighed lightly, and couldn't help telling him to be careful in everything.

Over the years, many of the emperor's people have been sick and retired, and the emperor is quite cunning. The confrontation in the court is gradually breaking down. Seeing that the day when people's hearts are united is not far away, the more it is like this, the easier it is to hide murderous intentions. What Gouji Jumping Wall said is This truth.

Jia Lian knew it well, Zheng nodded emphatically, and diligently instructed Lin Hai and Jia Min and his wife to take care of their health, and then the housekeeper and others sent them out of the house and rode back to the house.

Afterwards, the Ningrong Second Mansion had a banquet, and all four members of the Lin family came. Lin Hai went to sit at the Ningguo Mansion, and Jia Min took his two children to the Rongguo Mansion to listen to an opera. It is also considered harmonious.

As the New Year approached, unexpected changes occurred in Huawai in the northwest. Several tribes became chaotic because of the assassination of their leader, and fought against each other. Some people with hidden ambitions took the opportunity to ignite the flames of war to the south.

There has been a change in the important town of soldiers and horses in the northwest, and the court and the central government can't just sit idly by.Yang Yuan's twelfth lunar month was caught with wind and cold, and his headache and insomnia became more and more severe, but he still insisted on dealing with the government affairs.In the end, the Imperial Hospital asked for an order, and all the officials agreed, and respectfully asked His Majesty and the Emperor to move to the hot spring palace at the foot of Iron Net Mountain to recuperate while serving as directors.

Yang Yuan went to the palace, and all the six departments accompanied him. Lin Hai, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was duty-bound, and took away most of the officials from the Ministry of Officials. Jia Lian, as the left servant, sat in the middle of the capital. Non-stick.

It's just that on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the fast horse that was supposed to send a message back to the city has been missing for a long time, and everyone who stayed in Beijing gradually felt that something was wrong.According to the original regulations, His Majesty will celebrate the New Year in the palace this time, and the royal family and nobles will not be able to accompany him, so he will return to Beijing today with blessings.

Knowing that there must be something strange, Jia Lian became more and more flustered as he sat in the courtroom of the Ministry of Officials. He walked around the room for a few steps, and when he raised his head to look out the window, he suddenly saw a few new faces outside, and his pupils shrank suddenly. In an instant, my heart beat like a drum.
