Lin Jiang didn't know that the incident of the eighth prince over the wall broke out so quickly until he entered the palace on duty the next day. When he saw Wei Ren, he waited at the gate of the palace and sent her all the way to the imperial hospital.

Wei Ren didn't know that Lin Jiang and Daiyu had listened to the scene, and he didn't want to tell her those ugly words to bother her, but he just mentioned that the Eighth Prince was vicious and told her to be careful when walking around in the palace in the future.

Lin Jiang joked: "Otherwise, wouldn't it be good to have two guards at the entrance of our Tai Hospital for security?"

In her impression, there seemed to be security guards at the entrance of the hospital, who could come forward with electric batons at any time in case the doctors made trouble.

Wei Ren didn't think about it, he nodded and said seriously: "I will report to the emperor when I go back."

On the way to send Lin Jiang to the imperial hospital, Wei Ren quickly asked about the serious matter: "I heard that your lord has entered Beijing."

Lin Jiang nodded: "Father arrived in Beijing late at night the day before yesterday to settle down at the mansion. Didn't he rush to write a thank you note and present it to His Majesty yesterday?"

Years ago, when the emperor was busy, the officials who came to Beijing from all over the country couldn't finish seeing him, so he didn't call Lin Changzhou to see him.

The court also has annual leave, and the emperor can also take a break after the year.

The emperor wanted to call him into the palace while he was free after the new year, and asked him about his overseas experience, especially the progress of the search for immortals.

He is happy to talk to those who seek immortality.

Hearing this, Wei Ren asked: "Uncle is coming to Beijing, I should come to see him in person."

Lin Jiang glanced at him, and neither said yes nor said no: "Father has no intention of being in Beijing. I'm afraid he will write a letter to ask His Majesty to go to sea again after the new year. Besides, you don't know his temper. It’s different from everyone else in the world.”

Wei Ren was serious about the matter, and insisted again: "Because uncle has few chances to come to Beijing, I should have a good time to visit him."

Lin Jiang smiled at him: "Okay."

With this permission, Wei Ren felt at ease, and wanted to elaborate more, but saw that the lobby of the Supreme Hospital had already arrived, so he had to stop regretfully.

On this day, after Lin Jiang got off work from the palace, he went straight back to the old house of the Lin family, and Daiyu was even taken over to the mansion early in the morning.

After all, Lin Changzhou is an uncle of the same clan, and it is not easy for Jia's mother to stop Daiyu from coming back to see him.

After Lin Jiang returned home, he started to eat hot pot: I can't eat it from Jia's house. Could it be that the father of the system is back, so I can't eat it in Lin's house?

Not only does she eat, she also eats all kinds of flavors. In addition to spicy and tomato, she also specially made the bottom of the pot for Daiyu's nourishing fish maw chicken soup.Using the special spices that Lin Changzhou brought back from overseas as an excuse, he even took out the bottom of the Tom Yum Kung soup.

Daiyu prefers the sour and delicious taste of Tom Yum Kung compared to the specially nourishing fish maw chicken soup base. It’s good to eat something, Daiyu didn’t just focus on the Tom Yum Kung soup base.

Not only hot pot, but also wine brought back by Lin Changzhou.

Daiyu saw the crystal clear and attractive wine, and asked someone to find out a set of glass cups stored in the warehouse to match, which means "grape wine luminous cup".

It wasn't until after dinner and the sour plum drink that Lin Jiang was satisfied and sighed: "It's happy to eat like this. Alas, my father has returned to Beijing for the New Year. It would be nice if we could also go back to this mansion for the New Year."

Lin Changzhou nodded: "If you want to come back, come back."

Lin Jiang looked at Daiyu, and Daiyu sighed softly: "Uncle, it is possible for my sister to come back. There is no reason to stop her from celebrating the New Year with her biological father, but I am afraid that it will not happen here. Grandmother has urged me to come back." I will go back after paying my respects to my uncle."

After all, the two families are of the same clan, and Lin Changzhou is not Daiyu's real uncle.

If it was true, it would be natural that the Rongguo Mansion, where the grandparents lived, was closer to Daiyu's blood, and it would be more justifiable to keep her for the New Year.

Lin Cheung Chau has only the surname 'Lin'.

He wants to keep Daiyu here, but now there is a problem, Mother Jia only needs to catch one point: there are no such female relatives as wives and elders in your house, and there is only one man, how can he take care of the girls?

Lin Changzhou was not easy to answer.

Lin Jiang comforted Daiyu: "It's okay, I won't come back for the New Year, just stay with you at Jia's house." It is impossible for Daiyu to sit alone on the Jia's mat during the New Year.

Lin Changzhou put down his tea: "There is no need to be wronged like this, this matter is not difficult."

Lin Jiang said with a smile: "Father doesn't know, but Mr. Shi Taijun in the house is not a person who can make sense."

Lin Changzhou said indifferently: "Those who can't make sense, just use money to get through." He looked at Lin Jiang: "Have you forgotten why you want to do business as a father?"

As a system, he has experienced thousands of sails in countless worlds, and found that the world is complicated and difficult to understand, but only the interests are eternal.

Money can buy time and convenience in many cases.

Perhaps there are many bones in this world that money cannot bend, but the Jia family is obviously not such a family.

Sure enough, in the early morning of the next day, the Rongguo Mansion sent someone to pick up Daiyu, knowing that her father was there, and there was no reason to take Imperial Doctor Xiao Lin back, so she asked Daiyu to go back to Rongguo Mansion—anyway, the two girls have a good relationship, as long as Daiyu is there , Lin Jiang will not go back for a long time.

Lin Changzhou only said to Daiyu: "Don't worry, I will bring you back for the New Year within three days."

Lin Jiang stayed for the first time to talk about some serious topics with the father of the system, read the work report of this year aloud, and after getting a comment of "good, very promising", Lin Jiang felt that the hard work of the whole year was affirmed .

In the end, people in the world don't understand what she wants. Seeing that she is trusted by His Majesty of the Second Palace and holds an official position as a woman, they think that she must be proud of her youth.However, only the system really understands that she has just started and has a long road ahead.

Lin Changzhou also didn't expect her to be able to unlock the hidden achievements so quickly and get a positive buff. This was really a surprise. Who would have thought that in this era, someone really gave her a pennant by mistake.

Lin Jiang said: "Well... that unexpected joy, I still want to come to see you." Hearing what she said, Lin Changzhou glanced at her as if he was watching the fire, which made Lin Jiang blush a little.

After talking about business and Wei Jian, Lin Jiang asked about Lin Changzhou's plan to 'spend money on the Tongrong State Mansion'.

She snorted twice: "If it wasn't for Sister Lin, who would give the money to Rongguo Mansion for nothing?"

Lin Changzhou shook his head: "It's not a free gift to the Rongguo Mansion. As the saying goes, a thousand pieces of gold buys a horse's bone, and the Rongguo Mansion is only the dry bones of the horse. The important thing is the reputation."

Lin Jiang was a little bit more thorough: "Is this official position for Youyi?"

Lin Changzhou smiled: "I didn't expect you to get an official by yourself, and you got me one." Then he tapped his finger on the table and said: "Maritime transportation has always been a business of getting rich. If you wait until I take this official position, you will be in The capital is showing its wealth, so someone must be talking behind my back that I am greedy for ink. On the contrary, this is the first time I came to Beijing, and before I received the official seal of the game envoy, I told the world clearly that our family is extremely rich, so I can save a lot of tongue .”

Although Lin Jiang received the order for his father, but Lin Changzhou himself did not come back, the official seal of the Youyi envoy and the five hundred soldiers specially approved by the emperor have been temporarily suppressed in the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War. When he goes to sea again, he will officially take office.

Lin Jiang grinned and said, "Ah, our family is very rich, so father tell me quickly, how much money did you add this year?"

Lin Changzhou nodded: "You can't be short." Then he asked: "I came back and took a look at the accounts. Since you entered the capital, you haven't used any money. What's the matter?"

Besides, it is convenient for Lin Jiang to distribute money in Rongguo Mansion, and he is not stingy about enjoying it on weekdays, but in Lin Changzhou's eyes, these are not spent money at all.

That's called daily expenses, not money.

Lin Jiang was also helpless: "Before going to Beijing, I originally wanted to buy a few pharmacies and open a few medical clinics, but after entering the imperial hospital, it is not easy to open pharmacies and medical clinics privately, and the emperor has to approve the regulations. Bisheng Palace Now it's not the emperor who decides for himself, think about it, it's better not to be too busy, let alone already busy." She is still busy compiling the book with Daiyu.

"As for the houses, yards and fields, I didn't have time to go to the site to see them, so I didn't buy them."

Time really flies.

She has been in Beijing for half a year, and she is not idle every day, but there are still a lot of things piled up and too late to do, so she can only go back to tomorrow.

"This is probably life!" Lin Jiang finally concluded with emotion.

Lin Changzhou couldn't help but laugh: you, a little girl who has only lived for more than 30 years in two lives, know what life is.

So I just said: "When I come back, I will buy some for you. Since the situation in the palace is complicated, there is no need to open a medical center and drug store, but it is not wrong to buy a shop and house with a good location first. Good fields and villages in the suburbs of Beijing are hard to come by.”

Lin Jiang's eyes were immediately peachy when he heard the words: "Thank you, the gold master's father!"

Lin Changzhou patted her on the head: "Good boy."

Lin Jiang suddenly felt that he was like a big dog that was praised.

What Lin Changzhou said about using money to beat Jia Mu didn't really mean buying Jia Mu a nod with a lot of money.Although he is rich, he is not taken advantage of!

To spend the least amount of money and seek the greatest benefit is a qualified businessman.

What's more, giving the money to Jia's family is like throwing it into the water as Lin Jiang said.

Throwing it into the water is not the point, but seeing the huge splash and hearing the huge noise is the point.

Lin Changzhou went to meet the men of the Jia family first.

Although Jia's mother is an old lord, as she said: "When my relatives come, I don't know how to do it, but I can chew and eat a few bites, sleep, and laugh with these grandchildren when I'm bored." It's over."

She realized that she had reached the age when she should have fun, and keeping her granddaughters by her side was more fun than education, not to mention the men outside were too lazy to care about them.

Mother Jia felt that Jia Zhengfang was keeping the etiquette, and it was enough for him to take care of the men of the Jia family.

Even if there was an incident between Jia Zhen and her daughter-in-law in the Ningguo Mansion, Jia's mother still closed her eyes and ignored it. , There are always rich days.

As everyone knows, how far this man from the Jia family can do it.

Hearing that the father of the system was going to clear up the men of Jia's family first, Lin Jiang couldn't help joking; "Father, you have to stick to your heart and don't be led astray by them."

Lin Changzhou waved his hand: "In this world, I'm the only one who leads others into trouble."

Lin Jiang later realized that this was not a joke.

Things have to start with Jia Amnesty.

As early as the second day of Lin Changzhou's arrival in Beijing, he had already given some meeting gifts to the gentlemen of the Ningrong Second Mansion. The name was that the Rongguo Mansion took care of his daughter.

From that day on, Jia Amnesty was so happy that he didn't even want his concubine, and actually spent the night alone in the study with the lamp on all night.

Mrs. Xing felt strange, so she went over to take a look, and saw Jia Amnesty laughing at some fans under the lamp.

It's winter, the cold wind blows outside, the lights in the house are dim, coupled with Jia Amnesty's hehehe, Mrs. Xing was so frightened on the spot, she turned her head away and drank a bowl of tranquilizing medicine before falling asleep.

Seeing Jia Amnesty with two big black eyes the next day, Mrs. Xing couldn't help asking.

Jia She rarely showed a bright smile like a summer flower to Mrs. Xing: "I didn't sleep well last night after a happy night, and now I am very hungry, quickly ask someone to serve me some porridge."

Mrs. Xing asked the maid while asking why Jia She was so happy.

Jia Amnesty carefully took out a fan made of jade bamboo bones from his sleeve. Madam Xing stared at him just as she was about to reach out to touch him, and Madam Xing just let Madam Xing watch from a distance: "I have also collected a lot of ancient fans, and I have seen some good ones. , but the few fans sent by the third master of the Lin family yesterday are the best ones, all of which are authentic works of painting and calligraphy by the ancients! Comparing him, the ones I received are no good!"

Mrs. Xing didn't understand the benefits of fans, but she understood the value of antique calligraphy and paintings, so she immediately asked, "Then these are extremely precious?"

Jia Amnesty snorted, "What do you know, woman? This is 1000 taels of silver and I haven't bought it anywhere yet."

Mrs. Xing's eyes lit up: "People say that Doctor Xiao Lin came from a wealthy businessman's family. I think she is very generous in her daily actions. As expected, the family is very rich."

Jia Amnesty felt that she had no common language with her, so he went on admiring the precious fan by himself.

In fact, these few fans of Jia Amnesty were really the most effortless things that Lin Changzhou prepared. He went through various dynasties, even if he didn't deliberately collect them, he also saved a lot of treasures, and these few ancient fans were for him. It's not an antique either, it's just something that was used and then left behind.

But this is right at Jia She's favorite.

So when someone came to report that it was Mr. Lin Changzhou's visit, Jia She stood up 'ceng', his eyes brighter than Mrs. Xing's listening to Yin Zi: "Where is Lin Shidi now, I will go over." Immediately call each other brothers.

The servants were taken aback, and quickly said, "Master Lin is in Rongqing Hall."

Only then did Jia Amnesty's joy fade a bit, and he remembered Jia Zheng's lifelong pain in the main house of Rongqing Hall.

So he snorted a few times before asking someone to prepare a car and go outside to Rongqing Hall.

Entering the main courtyard of Rongqing Hall, Jia She saw Lin Changzhou at first sight.

This Master Lin doesn't look much like his own daughter.

Jia Amnesty had also seen Doctor Xiao Lin, who had a face like a peach blossom, bright and radiant.

But as the biological father, the face of this Master Lin San is an ordinary middle-aged man, with a protruding nose and thin lips. He is a person who does not have any characteristics at first glance, and is even hard to remember.

That is to say, it is strange that although he has an ordinary face, there is an inexplicable attractiveness on his body, which always makes people see him first at a glance.

Jia She attributed this to Lin Changzhou's good eyesight.

Those were indeed a pair of eyes that looked like cold stars, which made people feel respected and feared.

Back then, Lin Jiang asked about this matter: "Among the countless skins, don't you just choose someone who looks better than Pan An and Yan like Song Yu, why did you choose the most basic ordinary skin?"

The system replied at the time: "Just enough temperament."

Lin Jiang has nothing to say, you are the boss and you have the final say.

Seeing Jia She come in, both Lin Changzhou and Jia Zheng got up, Lin Changzhou cupped his hands first: "Master She."

Jia Zheng saw that his elder brother's face suddenly bloomed, he stepped forward, took Lin Changzhou's hand and sat down, and began to discuss the ancient fan incessantly.

Lin Changzhou's knowledge is far beyond that of the Jia family's men. Since Jia She wanted a pan of ancient books, calligraphy and painting, he also talked about it.

In just half an hour, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhengju felt deeply: This is really a knowledgeable and romantic man!

Jia Zheng also took out money from his relatives to express his sorrow: "Since my brother has such talent, why should he enter the way of merchants? If he wants to study for the imperial examination, he must have a place in the court."

As a model of not studying for imperial examinations, Jia Amnesty was displeased when he heard this. He resented Jia Zheng and said, "People like us, why did we lose our hereditary official positions? This is not a generational brother who has an official position now. It's in the back."

In fact, Jia Amnesty is more sober than Jia Zheng in some respects.

When he saw his home was really glamorous, he felt that he was already sitting on nothing, and he was a little too late.Of course, it was also because Mrs. Xing couldn't take care of the family and kept talking about being poor in his ears every day.

No better than Jia Zheng, because Mrs. Wang has been in charge of internal affairs for many years, how could Jia Zheng be missing.

Therefore, Jia Zheng's words of "doing business is not noble enough, what a pity" were regarded by Jia She as a fool's dream: When our family is unable to make ends meet and poor, you can look at the Lin family and you will know what is good or bad.

In this way, when Lin Changzhou was leaving, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were both reluctant to part, and they all agreed together: "Tomorrow, our family will prepare for ancestor worship, and we will start preparing for the New Year's wine in the next day-now let's make a decision first." In the future, the men of our two houses will specially hold a banquet to invite the elder brother (the younger brother), and we must honor him."

Lin Changzhou responded with a slight smile: Of course I will come, and I will come home with the two girls surnamed Lin in the future.

As for Jia Amnesty, if he met his confidant, he was still full of ideas. After returning to the East Courtyard, he was stunned by the flash of jewels as soon as he entered the door.

On the big round table in the main room, there are two pots of corals half a person's height. The color is bright red and bright, obviously of the highest quality - such a good coral is usually made of coral beads as jewelry, such a large and complete decoration is really amazing. It's rare.

What's this?Is it an annual gift from which palace?

No, even if it was an annual gift from the old relatives, such precious things, it was not their turn to be placed in his East Courtyard. Go to Qingtang, so that it looks good when entertaining foreign guests.

At this time, there was no one else in the room except the little girl who was guarding the door, Mrs. Xing and the maids and concubines who accompanied her did not know where to go.

Jia Amnesty asked no one to ask, so he put his hands behind his back in bewilderment and continued to look at the good things on the table.

In addition to the two large corals, there was also a bright brocade box on the table. Jia She opened it and narrowed his old eyes: "He doesn't want it if it shines."

It turned out that there was a box of eighteen large pearls on the head, and a big red feather satin was placed under the head, and the pearls were round and dazzling.

Jia Amnesty closed the brocade box, looked at the several mother-of-pearl boxes next to it, opened two, and found that they were full of strange fragrances, obviously extremely valuable spices.

Jia Amnesty was completely dumbfounded.

It so happened that Mrs. Xing came back from behind. Jia She looked up at her and was taken aback again: In his heart, this lady either had a stern face or a bitter face, complaining about the high expenses of the family and complaining that she had too many maids. It was the first time I saw her such a big smile!

Seeing Mrs. Xing smiling like this, Jia Amnesty asked, "Where did you go just now? What happened to these things in this room?"

Mrs. Xing smiled all over her face: "Master, I just went to Imperial Physician Xiaolin just now! These things were carried over by Imperial Physician Xiaolin, who said they were 'earth instruments' brought back by Master Lin from overseas!"

Originally, when the maids came to report and Imperial Doctor Xiaolin sent some souvenirs, Mrs. Xing was not very interested, she just thought it was some fresh food from overseas.In this Rongguo Mansion, she doesn't lack food or drink, but she lacks money!

So much so that when she saw these 'earth instruments', Mrs. Xing's heart beat faster, seeing how Lin Jiang really liked it.

That is to say, she doesn't have a biological daughter. If she did, her relationship would probably be about the same.

Upon hearing that Lin Changzhou brought it back as a gift, Jia Amnesty continued to stroke his beard: "That is really capable!"

Mrs. Xing smiled even more happily: "Master doesn't know. What's even better is that these earthen instruments are only for us, not for the second bedroom!"

Jia She immediately pricked up his ears and asked, "How do you know? Could it be that the doctor Xiaolin will tell you the truth?"

Mrs. Xing nodded: "That's right, Imperial Physician Xiaolin is really a straightforward person. She said directly: 'Second Wife has such good relatives as the Xue family and the Wang family. If they want these overseas soil ceremonies, they will naturally have them, so I don't need to send them'."

This was said happily, and it directly touched Mrs. Xing's heart, which made Mrs. Xing feel elated.

Jia Amnesty told her not to smile, but to find out who else the Lin family gave this important gift to.

It's about money, Mrs. Xing has inquired about it a long time ago, and she knows everything: "Physician Xiaolin said that the master is the master of Xijue, so naturally he has the most. The rest of them only have two pots of coral and four boxes of precious spices, which are less than ours. As for the pearl, only we have it. Doctor Xiao Lin said that she has been taken care of by Sister Feng for the past six months since she entered the mansion. She is the daughter-in-law of the Dafang, so naturally it is the Dafang who took care of her."

So much so that Mrs. Xing seldom praised Wang Xifeng.

It turned out that she always felt that Wang Xifeng only followed Mrs. Wang and ignored her.In the past six months, the aunt and nephew seemed to have fallen out, so Wang Xifeng went to the big room more often to clear up the serious mother-in-law, and Mrs. Xing liked her more.

Today I heard that because of Wang Xifeng, I got [-] big pearls, I immediately saw that Wang Xifeng was a beautiful and good daughter-in-law, and she was still muttering: "Lian'er is worthless, if she steals dogs and plays chickens again and disappoints Sister Feng, The master should beat him up."

Jia Amnesty didn't care about beating Jia Lian for the time being, he walked for a while with his hands behind his back, and said, "Go, ask our girls and women to talk about this ceremony in the house, so that the people in the house know that there are still people in the world. Anyone who understands, knows that I am the grand master of the noble!"

Speaking of these years, Jia Amnesty has also been tossed and lost his temper: Jia's family is becoming more and more decadent, and the only people who come and go are four princes and some old relatives. Those people are used to dealing with Jia Mu, and they follow Jia Mu's wishes. In Rongqing Hall, Jia Zheng and the first room exchanged gifts.

He, the elder of the Rongguo Mansion, was just an honorary decoration, and he was removed from the main house, Rongqing Hall, and sent to live beside the garden.

But now, seeing that someone valued him and respected him as the head of the family, Jia Amnesty was about to explode.

Especially if this matter got to Jia Mu and Jia Zheng's ears and embarrass them, then he finally got angry.

The servants of Rongguo Mansion love to spread rumors, not to mention this kind of money and excitement.

So much so that just after Lin Jiang finished delivering the soil instrument, he returned to Lanzhi Courtyard, and the news came back.

Daiyu was a little reluctant after hearing the news: "Why bother uncle to spend so much money. My sister also knows that this mansion will not..."

Even Mother Xia said: "Young lady, with me guarding you, you won't suffer a lot in this mansion during the Chinese New Year."

Rongguo Mansion is not the kind of people who come and go now. When they see such a great gift, they don't think of paying back the corresponding gift, but only think about how there can be more.

Lin Jiang smiled and said, "It's not a waste." Pointing to Daiyu's clothes, "it's worth my sister's clothes."

Both Daiyu and Grandma Xia looked puzzled.

Lin Jiang smiled and told her why the gifts to Rongguo Mansion were all coral and spices.

"Father's ship found several remote island countries, where these are very common things."

Many coral pearl shells and even rare spices in this dynasty are very cheap in small overseas countries: isn’t this something that the children at home can pick up when they go to the beach or go wild in the woods? What’s the value?

They are even willing to exchange a carload of precious large corals for a bolt of shiny silk.

Poor local residents have never seen satin of good quality, they only think that the perfect clothes can only be woven by gods, and they cherish it very much.Even the monarchs of those small countries are only willing to make a suit of clothes, and the rest are divided into foot by foot and given to the favored ministers and concubines as precious headwear.

This kind of handicraft is what they need most. Natural things are not rare for them. What kind of good coral pearls do not have a few plants in their homes, and they can't exchange food or clothes.

These are the things that were given to the Jia family.

Lin Jiang said to Daiyu with a smile: "When you go back home to celebrate the new year, I will take you to see the good things my father brought back." The real treasure hasn't been shown to anyone yet.
