Chapter 26 Empty Joy and a Conspiracy in the Sea

It's a pity that before Mrs. Wang was happy for a few days, the new emperor sealed off the Six Palaces after he ascended the throne.Concubine Qinqin was named Empress, Concubine Lian was named Concubine He, Concubine Li was named Concubine Ning, Concubine Song Shu was named Concubine Rou, Concubine Yu Shu was named Concubine Yu, while Jia Yuanchun was only named as a nobleman, without a title, only by his surname. for number.

The Jia family, which was originally very proud, suddenly withered, and the status of a small nobleman was really worthless.Even concubine Yu Shu, who was born in the family of a sixth-rank official, had a higher status than Jia Yuanchun, so one could imagine how unfavored Jia Yuanchun was.

"Madam, why rush for a while? Our eldest girl is only [-] this year, and it is the time when she is in her prime. The queen is nearly [-] years old, and the concubine and concubine are not in good health. Concubine Ning and concubines are all old people. Yes, how can we compete with our eldest daughter? My wife is now a married woman, and it is convenient to enter the palace. When the time comes, I will give the eldest daughter more things for beauty and health. After giving birth to a son and a half, I am afraid that there will be no chance of being promoted. Is it?" Seeing Mrs. Wang's gloomy face, Zhou Rui's family hurried forward and said.

Mrs. Wang was still sullen and refused to speak, but Xue Baochai, who came to greet her, smiled softly and said, "I heard that eldest sister's birthday is very good, and she is a blessed one. Although she is only a noble person now, her talent must be better than that of the palace. The other concubines are much better, but the emperor hasn't found out yet. The empress is the head of the middle palace, and the eldest sister should get closer to the empress, and the emperor will know that the eldest sister is good at that time."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she took a look at Xue Baochai.This niece of hers has an oval face, and she is wearing a water-green trousers and a honey-colored horse-face skirt that are not worn out. There are only a few gauze flowers pinned to her hair, which looks more refreshing.What she said made sense, she really deserved to be her favorite daughter's house.

"You are right," Mrs. Wang motioned Xue Baochai to sit beside her. "You have a stable personality and a lot of knowledge. From now on, you will teach the girls in this mansion more."

After all, Xue Baochai was only 12 years old, Madam Wang couldn't help but blushed when she heard this, twisted her handkerchief and said, "I'm nothing, I can't compare to the sisters in the mansion."

"Don't be modest," Mrs. Wang felt even more satisfied when she saw Xue Baochai's meekness, and patted Xue Baochai's hand, "Look at this mansion, Yingchun is a dull-tempered person; Tanchun is a concubine, and his temper is very strong." , not even half submissive; not to mention Xichun, she is not a girl from our mansion, but the old lady is kind-hearted and takes care of her by her side. But you are much better than them."

Xue Baochai smiled shyly.She knew better than anyone why the Xue family came to the capital to join the Jia family. Her mother doting on her brother caused him to have such a temper. If she was a man, she would have gone out to do something big.Her mother meant to marry the Jia family, but now that the new emperor ascended the throne and amnesty the world, her originally lost draft qualifications are now back, so what should I do then?

Mrs. Wang didn't know what Xue Baochai was thinking. She and her younger sister were angry with each other. She waited for Baoyu to be engaged to the two when she was a freshman. Then she would get a good wife and a valuable dowry. It would be great to kill two birds with one stone. ah.

Lin Xin was stunned for a moment after receiving the order from Rongguo Mansion, and then hurriedly sent it to Lin Yuxuan.

"You mean, the Jia family wants to order a set of ruby ​​haircuts for the empress in the palace?" Lin Yuxuan was a little surprised. How could the Jia family be so sure that Jia Yuanchun would be a empress, not an ordinary young master?

"Yes, they also said they want the best rubies, money is not a problem." Lin Xin replied.

Lin Yuxuan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "In this case, let them use the best ones, and they will pay for them. Remember, rubies are hard to come by these days, so let's add [-]% to the silver." Thinking for a while He also said, "The craftsmanship of the masters is exquisite, plus [-]%, it can be counted as the hard work of the masters."

Lin Xin suppressed a smile and said "Yes".

Lin Yuxuan smiled unkindly while waiting for the imperial decree to seal the harem.He said that this Jia Yuanchun was not favored at all, why did the people of the Jia family say that she was the empress with such certainty? two silver.

"This time the Jia family is not happy, I really don't know why they are so arrogant." Baozhu brought Lin Yuxuan a cup of tea, "Master, let's have a sip of tea first, I've been having fun for a long time."

Lin Yuxuan picked up the teacup, and a fresh scent of tea came to his nostrils.He took a sip and found that it was different from what he usually drank, so he asked: "Is this tea newly bought? It tastes better than the old one."

"This is a new tea from the village in the south this year. Seeing that my uncle doesn't like drinking strong tea, I asked Baozhu to make a cup of this tea for my uncle to try." Mingzhu brought tea snacks, "This is The new dim sum made in the kitchen, please try it."

"Not bad." Lin Yuxuan twisted a piece of milk cake into his mouth, took another sip of tea, and nodded with a smile.

Mingzhu's face flushed, and she said softly, "It's as long as the uncle likes it."

After all, Lin Yuxuan wasn't just a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old. Looking at Mingzhu's expression, he knew what was going on, and felt a little embarrassed.He knew that in ancient times, there were always a few maidservants serving boys who wanted to show their faces, even his father was no exception.Just seeing the maid beside him blushing towards him, Lin Yuxuan was still a little uncomfortable.

Baozhu was older than Mingzhu and Lin Yuxuan. Seeing that her young master was a little uncomfortable, she quickly changed the topic: "I heard Aunt Jiayi say that my uncle likes to eat desserts, but I didn't expect this habit to change now. Speaking of which, The uncle asked me to choose two second-class maids to teach, I have already done it, and the ones I chose are Ruxiang and Yunshang."

"I want to feel at ease when you are doing business." Lin Yuxuan nodded, "You all go out first."

Mingzhu frowned and bit her lower lip, and finally chose to go out with Baozhu.But before reaching the corner of the corridor, Mingzhu couldn't help but grabbed Baozhu's sleeve and asked, "You said that the uncle asked you to train two maids, what's the matter? Why haven't you heard about it?"

"That was before you were promoted. I was just busy and forgot to tell the uncle." Mingzhu was promoted only recently because Lin Yuxuan needed more people to take care of him when he was ill.Baozhu's heart is like a bright mirror, this pearl is born in a family, and she has some thoughts in her heart.It's just that the uncle doesn't have that kind of thought at all, I'm afraid this pearl will be disappointed.

"That's how it is." Mingzhu was a little frustrated, left her behind and left.

Question: There is a maid by your side who is staring at your aunt's position, what should you do?

The answer is: parents solve it.

After Lin Ruhai heard about this, he also began to worry. He understood Lin Yuxuan's temperament, but the young man got impulsive occasionally, and even ten cows couldn't be pulled back.Lin Yuxuan is still in his filial piety and still young, so the Natongfang matter is really in no hurry.In another year and a half, Lin Yuxuan will be filial piety, and it is better to spend this time studying.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai quickly called the palm eye of Song Lin's family, and if he found a suitable family, he would marry Mingzhu.

After giving this order, Lin Ruhai calmed down and considered his official career.Now that Prince Qin has successfully enthroned, and the family of Zhongshun Princes has ceased, should he re-enter the officialdom and devote himself to the new emperor?Or should he take advantage of this time to step back in order to give his son room to be in charge?

Lin Ruhai knew that when the current emperor came to the throne for the first time, he handled everything with gentle means, but once the emperor's confidants gradually gained a firm foothold in the court, the fangs under the emperor's gentle skin would be exposed.Whether it is the Zhen family or the four major families, as long as any of them makes a small move, they are all waiting to be killed, especially the Zhen family.The Supreme Emperor has feelings for the Zhen family, but the new emperor does not.The Zhen family blatantly supported King Zhongshun. If they were smart, they would know that they must quickly admit their mistakes to the new emperor and resign voluntarily, in order to keep the whole family safe.

Lin Ruhai thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

A few days later, Lin Yuxuan, who was still reading leisurely in the room, received a news that shocked him: his father Lin Ruhai handed over his resignation letter, stating that he was weak and incapable of being a doctor of Lantai Temple, and begged the Holy One for his favor. Begging for rest.He also recommended Lian Qianjing, the emperor's disciple, to take over the vacancy.The emperor had no choice but to agree.

Lin Yuxuan quickly put down the books in his hands and rushed to Lin Ruhai's study.He knew how loyal and patriotic his father was, how could he resign so hastily?

"Daddy!" Lin Yuxuan couldn't care less about saluting, and hurriedly asked, "I heard that Daddy resigned?"

"Yes." Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Yuxuan who was panting, and still felt that his son was still a little unstable, and said, "Look at you, you are still so impatient at the age of 15, what will you do if I am not around in the future? "

"What does daddy mean?" Lin Yuxuan asked anxiously.

"My father has already agreed to the Baili Academy in the capital, and I will teach in the Baili Academy from May." Lin Ruhai said, "Instead of still plotting with others in the officialdom, it is better to retreat bravely, or to let the emperor's confidants Come out. And if you do it for your father, it is also for you."

"For me...?" Lin Yuxuan understood a little bit, "Daddy..."

"It's good that you know. I'm already forty as a father, and it's time for Gao Renniaofei to live a free life. But you are different. You are the eldest son of my Lin Ruhai and the heir of the Lin family. Responsibility. My Lin family has been an official for generations, and you can't escape. The emperor will remember that I made way for his confidants, and naturally he will also remember you. As long as you succeed in the imperial examination two years later, you can guarantee your official career." Lin Ruhai Explain all the calculations in your heart, "You are already fifteen, and there are some things you should take care of."

"My son understands." Lin Yuxuan nodded emphatically.
