[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor

After hearing the emperor talk about his intention to transfer Lin Ruhai back to Beijing, Lord Shao felt that his son's marriage was expected and he was going to resign, suddenly remembered another matter.

He was also entrusted to come to discuss another marriage with the emperor.

Seeing that Prince Shao was waiting to go, the emperor couldn't help being surprised: "Is there something else to do, Uncle Wang?"

King Shao pointed out the window: "Your Majesty, do you have any plans for Commander Wei's marriage?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows and didn't answer the question, but only asked: "What? Did someone entrust you to Uncle Wang?"

Prince Shao nodded sincerely.

Since the death of the Supreme Emperor, Wei Ren has given the Emperor some important errands.Especially after he led troops to blockade the mansions of King Jian and the other three kings, the aristocratic families in Beijing had a clear eye, and they immediately saw it: Although the commander of the guard had no family to rely on, he must be the emperor's trusted confidant.

He is also a young and important minister, with an unlimited future.

As a result, many families wanted to betroth their daughters to him.

Especially for those families with many daughters, they feel that even if they give up one daughter, they will not be able to form an in-law of equal family background, but it is really a good deal to get such a son-in-law who is the emperor's confidant.

Wei Ren has no father or mother, no one to talk about his marriage, and he himself stays in front of the imperial court all day - when he is not in the imperial court, most of the time he is going to do important things such as copying his family and calming chaos. At that time, he chased after him to talk about marriage.

Several aristocratic families who were interested in it thought about it, and found out that Wei Yan had a good relationship with the son of Prince Shao's mansion, so they inevitably brought their idea to Prince Shao's mansion. Get married.

King Shao really wanted to take care of this matter: he has a very humane and straightforward temperament. Although Wei Ren never flattered him, he was outstanding in martial arts and devoted himself to serving the public, which was right for King Shao's temper. The relationship is also good, Zhou Liheng will talk about him on weekdays, which shows that he is close, and King Shao regards him as half a nephew.

When Princess Shao heard about this, she also agreed with King Shao to talk about reconciliation, the beauty of being an adult: "Poor Commander Xiaowei, who has no parents or relatives. His Majesty certainly takes care of him, but the emperor is so busy that the princes can't take care of them. If it is delayed any longer, it will be too old to talk about marriage."

In Beijing, not only women have flowering seasons, but also men.

For example, if a man does not get married until he is 25, it makes people wonder if there is some hidden disease.Princess Shao's words were purely for Wei Ren's sake: he had no family in the first place, and the aristocratic family in Beijing felt that his fate was too lonely. If he got older, it would be even more difficult to say goodbye.

Not to mention Wei Ren, even Gao Qiyu, the son of Princess Qi Yang, dare not delay. The princess gave his son an ultimatum that he must choose a marriage for him this year.

Therefore, King Shao really wanted to be the elder of the guard, and wanted to marry him on his behalf.

Just thinking that Wei Ren is the child picked up by the emperor back then, so he has to talk to the emperor.

So at the moment when the emperor asked, he didn't go around the bush, and told the emperor straight to the point that he wanted to protect the matchmaker: "The ones who are looking for the superiors, some of them are really greedy for power and wealth, and they probably want to give up their daughters because of Wei Ren's popularity. Set up a son-in-law, just tell me to call back. But the princess and I have been careful, there are a few girls with good families, and their families are not related to the prince..."

The emperor couldn't help but interrupted directly: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, I already have an idea about the child's marriage, so there is no need to look for it."

King Shao was puzzled: "Which lady is it?"Why didn't I hear Li Heng say that.

The emperor hesitated for a moment, but in the end he couldn't hold back from sharing his cp with Uncle Wang, and said: "I haven't made an order yet, but I have already seen it. The girl I like, Uncle Wang, is earlier than the one I met. It's common."

King Shao was puzzled at first, but then he had a flash of inspiration: "Your Majesty is talking about Imperial Physician Xiao Lin."

The emperor corrected: "Now it is the courtyard that I personally appointed."

King Shao's mind was shaken, so he started to pace around in the Mingzheng Palace, and began to think about the degree of compatibility between the two. After walking for a while, he laughed and said, "It's really a good marriage, it's hard for Your Majesty to think about it."

The emperor immediately said: "Isn't it, right? I just said it's very good." Finally, someone admired it with him and kowtowed cp together.

King Shao turned his head and asked enthusiastically: "Marriage requires the orders of parents and the words of the matchmaker. The emperor on Wei Ren's side is the elder and the great matchmaker. I don't know where Lin Yuan is. His father, Lin Youyi, agreed to this marriage. ?”

The emperor's smile suddenly stopped: I think I forgot something!Ah, so I forgot to tell her father.

Seeing the emperor's expression, King Shao couldn't help asking quietly: "The emperor didn't discuss with his father before deciding on this marriage."

Even the draft in the palace is not just a random girl from the street, it is also a show girl who is approved by the elders in the family, okay?

The emperor coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, and said: "Emissary Lin Youyi has been living alone overseas all year round. I don't know when he will return to Beijing. It is difficult for me to find him."

King Shao accepted this explanation, and said again: "It is true that Lin Youyi is away all year round. It is said that when he was in the south of the Yangtze River, he only left his daughter at Xunyan Yushi's mansion. If your majesty does not see him for a while, you may You should tell Lin Ruhai."

The emperor recalled: "Could it be that Uncle Wang wants me to come forward and call Lin Ruhai to discuss the matter of in-laws. Let's also talk about Li Heng's matter."

A smile appeared on King Shao's face: "Hey, since Your Majesty has agreed to stand up for me, I feel at ease." When King Shao went south, he lived in Xunyan Yushi's Mansion and had many business dealings with Lin Ruhai.

According to King Shao, Lin Ruhai is not someone who admires the wealth and vanity of the palace, and will happily agree to the marriage and marry his daughter when he hears about the palace.So Shao Wangsheng was afraid that he would not save enough face, so he wanted to ask the emperor to come forward directly.

"Besides, I also hope that Heng'er will be older this time, and I will try again with the emperor's dragon pressure. It is best to discuss marriage smoothly." In King Shao's view, there is no pressure from the emperor now. It is said that the emperor's dragon spirit is at its peak, and it is impossible to say that Zhou Liheng's weird illness can be suppressed.

The Zhou family, because of this disease, is somewhat supernatural.

The emperor who was tricked just smiled: Without him, the emperor feels that this matter is not difficult.

The eldest son of Prince Shao's mansion, the rare golden tortoise son-in-law in Beijing, and his appearance is first-class, he is a rare handsome man in the Zhou family who has followed the matrilineal line.No matter how high-minded Lin Ruhai is, he couldn't pick a better marriage.

It's just...the emperor asked Prince Shao: "Is Heng'er recovering from his illness?" Don't worry, I did half of the matchmaking for you, and Zhou Liheng fell ill again on the other side. What a shame.

The emperor is a face-saving person.

Prince Shao's expression changed when he heard the emperor's question about this matter: "In the past six months, I have discussed Heng'er's marriage with the concubine privately at home many times. Fortunately, the child is in good health and has not suffered from the old illness. Maybe this is God-sent a good match, when you meet a good match, everything will be fine."

The emperor nodded: "Perhaps what Guanxing Pavilion said is correct. When Fan Xungui's children were young, their life fires were still weak, and there were often narrow-minded ghosts making troubles. After 15 years old, the bones have grown, and life fires are naturally strong. gone."

Guanxing Pavilion was established by the second emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty to observe the ephemeris and ephemeris.

Originally, there was Taichang Temple to do this work in the previous dynasty, and stargazing was not a separate job, but an incidental project when calculating seasonal astronomical phenomena.

However, after the illness of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty first appeared, the royal family not only exhausted the world's medical knowledge, but also devoted themselves to the work of feudal superstition.

Whenever a child of the royal family is born, Guan Xing Pavilion will be shown the fate and astrology of that day.

The emperor quite believed in Guanxing Pavilion, and he was willing to go out of the palace with King Shao to try the absurd "Girl Healing Disease". The auspicious celestial phenomenon of "Mixing Dasheng" strengthened the emperor's heart to take this trip.

The final result made the emperor believe in the accuracy of Guanxing Pavilion.

Zhou Liheng's illness was strange, King Shao of course asked Guanxing Pavilion to show his son.

Guanxing Pavilion gave a "drag" tactic, saying that after the age of 15, "maybe" he will be fine.

At this moment when the emperor mentioned it, King Shao nodded his head: "It would be the best if the emperor speaks well. If it drags on, the grandson of the concubine and I will not be able to wait until we are in their [-]s and [-]s?"

In August, the emperor ordered Lin Ruhai, the current censor of Yanyan, to come to Beijing to report on his duties, and Zhang Xichang, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, was sent to take over as censor of salt inspection.

This matter is a clear decree, not a secret, so the father-in-law Thrush passed the decree first, and then went to the imperial hospital to tell Lin Jiang the good news.

So much so that when Wei Ren went to talk, it was already too late, and only saw a picture of a father-in-law thrush saying goodbye to Lin Jiang at the door.

Wei Ren stepped forward, Lin Jiangxian saw him and waved to him.Eunuch Huamei flicked Xiao Fuchen and raised his chin: "Well, Mr. Wei is here, so our family will leave first."

Let you go slowly with all the troubles, you are late now, and you don't have the first time to contribute good news.

After Wei Ren entered the room, he asked Lin Jiangdao: "Do you feel that Eunuch Bai seems to have some opinions on me?"

Lin Jiang poured tea for him: "How could it be? Eunuch Bai is very measured. Maybe you will all be ordered by the emperor to face the courtiers outside. Instead, he won't get too close to you."

Wei Ren put the matter aside: "Do you know the news that Mr. Lin will be recalled to Beijing?"

Even if Lin Jiang heard the news for the second time, he still couldn't help but smile twice: "Yes, it's really a good thing. Uncle can finally go to Beijing to reunite with his sister."

Then he said to himself: "I've had enough of living in this Rongguo mansion. If my uncle gets an official position in Beijing, we can move out and go back to the old Lin family's house."

When she went to Beijing last year, Daiyu had to live in Rongguo Mansion, and as a young girl who hadn't left the court, she couldn't live alone and couldn't care less about Daiyu, so she naturally wanted to stay in Rongguo Mansion.

Besides, she was also very interested in the people in the Red House in the Rongguo Mansion at that time, and wanted to see them with her own eyes.

But more than a year has passed, except for a few people she feels can get along with, she is already tired of the rest of the people and things in Rongguo Mansion.

Many people really don't have to see each other in this life.

And a year later, Daiyu barely had enough time for her "grandmother's upbringing". Now that Lin Ruhai is in Beijing, it is an excellent opportunity to move out.

Wei Ren nodded in agreement, the emperor had told him gossip about the father-in-law and daughter-in-law of Ningguo Mansion, so he didn't have a good impression of Ningrong and Rongfu, and felt that Lin Jiang had been wronged for a long time.And I couldn't help regretting: "It's a pity that you are a girl's family. Even if you get an official house, you can't live alone."

When Lin Jiang took over as the head of the imperial hospital, the emperor rewarded her with a house as usual.

This kind of residence close to the root of the imperial city is not sold to the outside world, and it is a special product reserved for the emperor to reward people.

Lin Jiang got a standard one-ring house, and he still cherishes it very much.

The Imperial Hospital has always lived close to the imperial city, so that it is convenient for them to enter the palace in time for emergency treatment.Not to mention Wei Ren, the commander of the Imperial Dragon Guard, so the emperor directly chose the nearest empty house next to Wei Ren's house to reward Lin Jiang.

Wei Ren hoped that Lin Jiang would live next door.

Lin Jiang fanned the wind with a fan in his hand: "I'm afraid it will be a long time waiting for me to live in that house——you can watch it for me."

After finishing the business, Wei Ren was still reluctant to leave for a while.It's rare that there is no urgent errand today, so I can sit a little longer.

Sitting for a long time always finds something to talk about, Wei Ren thought about it and told her: "The female officials who will be dismissed tomorrow will leave the palace, and the one from Rongguo Mansion will naturally go back."

Sure enough, Lin Jiang was interested: Jia Yuanchun was leaving the palace.

She vaguely remembered that when she was reading a book, before Yuanchun visited her relatives, the servants in the family cheered and said: "We are going to welcome our eldest lady."

Well, how should I put it, now it is time to welcome their eldest lady in another sense.

Or the kind that doesn't need to be separated anymore.

Besides, although the emperor ordered the queen to dismiss the redundant palace people in the palace more than a month ago, this matter is not something that can let the palace ladies line up to leave the palace tomorrow after a decision is made today.

The empress is a very responsible and careful person, and she goes to verify the list of maids in the palace newspapers one by one, lest someone take the opportunity to cause trouble and turn the emperor's "virtuous government" into an accident.

She is so cautious about the list of palace maids, let alone female officials.

Therefore, according to the Yi decree in Fenglin Palace, the palace servants came according to the order: First, the rough envoys were released, then the third-class, second-class, and first-class maids were released, and the female officials were released last, and corresponding rewards were given. It can be regarded as the Emperor Long Endezheng.

Therefore, even if the empress had already decided that Jia Yuanchun of the Rongguo Mansion would leave the palace, she didn't reveal anything.

Finally, for more than a month, the maids have been released one after another, and it will be the turn of the Queen Mother and the female officials in the empress's palace tomorrow. Jia Yuanchun only got the sad news that he was about to be released from the palace!

Originally, the empress would never dare to touch people in the empress dowager's palace, but the empress insisted, she only thought that she was a widow, and she didn't need so many people to serve her.

Wei Ren, as the commander of Long Jinwei, naturally gave him a copy of the list of personnel released from the palace every day.

And the maids who leave the palace will be released by the eunuchs of the inner court and the Long Jinwei. They will jointly check that they are correct and have not brought any forbidden items from the palace.

Lin Jiang held his chin and asked him: "I think the Rongguo Mansion must have received the letter by now."

Wei Ren nodded: "For the female officials who will leave the palace tomorrow, the eunuchs have gone to each house to deliver rewards today."

The female officials in the palace are different from ordinary court ladies. They are all from the capital of Gyeonggi, and their parents and brothers all have some small official positions, so they can be high-ranking female officials as soon as they enter the palace, and they are in charge of the palace's internal documents.However, Jia Yuanchun's mother's family, Rongguo Mansion, also stood out among the female officials.

Sima Zhaozhi's intentions in the Rongguo Mansion are well known to all—a Duke's mansion wants the eldest daughter to be a female official, and it must not be for the sake of sorting out the paperwork in a down-to-earth manner.

Finally, even the gossip about Rongguo Mansion was finished, Wei Ren had no choice but to get up and leave.

When he reached the door, Lin Jiang suddenly stopped him.

Wei Ren turned around when he heard the words, Lin Jiang had to squint his eyes when he turned around.

He was dressed in armor, with his back facing the sunlight outside the door, in her eyes, he was like a shining golden warrior descending to earth, he was really a walking human-shaped gem.

Lin Jiang walked up to him.

Outside the door, there are little eunuchs responsible for sprinkling well water everywhere to keep cool.

But Wei Ren's figure just happened to block her tightly, and Lin Jiang suddenly felt excited like he used to hide under the podium and pass a small note.

She reached out and hung a bag of candy that she had prepared long ago on the saber at Wei Ren's waist.

"This is mango candy."

"mango?"

"This is a specialty fruit from Fujian, which is not produced in Beijing. My father should have returned to the port for supplies a few days ago, and ordered someone to send two boxes of fresh mangoes to Beijing. But no matter how they are preserved, those mangoes are also gone all the way to Beijing. They are all ripe, so they can’t be transferred to you. Otherwise, the skins will surely break if you choose to put them in another basket, and you won’t be able to keep the carriage from jolting.”

"I'll make them mango-flavored candies for you to try."

Lin Jiang looked up at him: "If there is a chance in the future, we can go to sea to see by ourselves."

See for yourself how the 'Western' of this era is different from what she remembers.

Wei Ren was even more reluctant to leave.

On this day, Wei Ren, who received the heart candy, was in a great mood, and Lin Jiang, who learned that Lin Ruhai was going to Beijing, was also in a good mood. Even the father-in-law Thrush, who surpassed Wei Ren and told Lin Jiang's news in advance, was very happy.

As a result, only Rongguo Mansion's wounded world was achieved again.

Early this morning, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang in Rongguo Mansion heard that a palace eunuch came out to deliver a letter, and at first they didn’t take it seriously—since Lin Jiang lived in this Rongguo Mansion, the number of eunuchs in the palace came much more than in previous years. No wonder.

However, when the eunuch delivered the decree of "the emperor's grace is great, the female officials return home to reunite with each other, the queen bestows a hundred taels of silver, and ten pieces of brocade", the entire Rongguo Mansion was struck by lightning.

Yes, as Yuanchun's years in the palace continued to increase, the Rongguo Mansion felt that the hope was slim, but the hope was slim, and it was different from completely cutting off hope like this.

Mother Jia's complexion was also very bad, but she had some psychological preparations, and she could still hold on, but it was heavy.

Madam Wang couldn't bear it.

The main reason is that her power in Rongguo Mansion has also been retreating steadily over the past year, and basically she can only manage her own Rongxi Hall.Even in Rongxi Hall, Aunt Zhao relied on Jia Zheng to make things difficult for her from time to time.

In the past, she relied on her natal family to support her, but it's a pity that her natal family now blames her for making an idea to offend the Lin family, and has begun to favor Sister Feng!

Her natal family was unreliable, so she desperately wanted her children to live up to her expectations and bring her glory and confidence.

At this time, a thunderstorm suddenly hit her, saying that Yuan Chun was released from the palace and completely lost the chance to be a concubine, how could she bear it.

After the eunuch delivered the message and received the reward, as soon as he left the room, Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to follow her out.

After a while, he turned back to Jiamu's Rongqing hall, and when he entered the door, he didn't care about the mandarin ducks and amber and was still packing the teacups, so he said directly: "Old lady, someone must be trying to harm Yuanchun."

Mother Jia scolded Mrs. Wang in a low voice: "You are confused, how do you know about the affairs in the palace? How dare you talk nonsense!" He didn't reprimand him harshly, but only said Mrs. Wang was tired and asked her to go back and rest.

Mrs. Wang refused to leave: "Old lady, just now I asked Zhou Rui's family to find out that among the eight female officials in the empress's palace, four were released. Except for Yuan Chun, the other three female officials are all 28 or 30 years old. If I don't let him go this time, he will naturally leave the palace when he turns [-] tomorrow, so letting him go is considered a grace."

"Only our Yuanchun was released at a young age. Someone must have been jealous and murdered!"

Yuan Chun is not considered young.

She was 14 years old when she was drafted for the first time, and she was 15 years old when she entered the palace as a female official. Now nine years have passed, and she is exactly 24 years old.

This age is a bit embarrassing, there are still a few years before leaving the palace, but to be an imperial concubine, she is a little too old.After all, the new entrants to the palace every year are young and beautiful girls in their teens.

Mother Jia sighed, "It's just that some people don't like Yuan Chun, so what if they deliberately tricked Yuan Chun out of the palace."

The final outcome is that the Queen's order has been issued, and Yuan Chun leaves the palace.

Winners and losers have to admit it.

Mother Jia would enter the palace to kowtow to the Empress Dowager every year during the Chinese New Year. She still knew the Empress well: when the Emperor was still an ordinary prince, she was assigned to the Emperor, and her family background was not considered prominent.And these years, she has no children, so she is the most cautious and mature person.

If she wanted to let the female officer go, she definitely had the approval of the emperor. It couldn't be that she couldn't get used to the good looks of the female officers around her, so she was so jealous that she wanted to kick them out.

This is not the style of a queen.

Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Mu's mood was waning, and she refused to enter the palace to fight for Yuan Chun. She seemed to admit this directly, and she felt resentful.

But she didn't dare to say it clearly, she sat in a daze for a while, calmed down her chaotic emotions, then got up and said: "I also ask the old lady to allow me to go back to Wang's house and discuss this matter with my elder brother and sister-in-law."

Mother Jia didn't even bother to say much, so she just waved her hand: "If you want to go, go."

Wang always feels that her mother's family is a great backer, so let her try to see if Wang Ziteng has the ability to persuade the current emperor to change his mind.If he really has this ability, she, the Duke's wife, can do it upside down to salute Prince Teng!

Mrs. Wang did not see her elder brother Wang Ziteng, but her sister-in-law Han Shi received her.

Mrs. Han comforted her with polite words, and said: "Your brother has been promoted to the nine provinces inspection, and he will leave Beijing next month. Now he has so many official duties to hand over, how can he have time at home? Sometimes He just slept in the barracks—if you look for him, it may be useless to wait until midnight."

Seeing Mrs. Wang still sitting and refusing to leave, wanting Wang Ziteng to help Yuan Chun, Han felt dissatisfied: Isn't this nonsense?How can there be any reason for a courtier to take care of the emperor's harem!And you girl from Rongguo Mansion, if you want to plead for mercy, why don't you go to your own family, but our Wang family sits instead.

So he was going to poke away this ignorant sister-in-law who would only cause trouble.

Mrs. Han thought about it for a while, and then thought of the topic: "Did you hear that your Aunt Lin is going back to Beijing?"

It was another thunderbolt from the blue sky, Wang was stunned, and said after a while: "I haven't heard anyone mention it."

The emperor issued a decree, ordering the official station to spread the decree all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, and most officials in the court and China knew about it.However, there is no man in the Rongguo Mansion who is a serious official, so the news is slower.

Han's thought: Haven't you heard?That's great, let me tell you.

So with a sincere smile: "Congratulations, the aunt of the family has been responsible for patrolling the salt and censor for many years, and the family has produced talents one after another, and even the girl's family has become a doctor in the imperial hospital. Now the emperor called him to Beijing to report on his work." , it must be upgraded again."

In fact, the Han family doesn't know much about the ups and downs, Lin Ruhai's ups and downs, she can't tell.

But she understood Mrs. Wang's heart, so she began to poke at Mrs. Wang's Achilles' heel: "Oh, my aunt is already a second-rank official, and this time, isn't she going to go further to the six ministers? This is also a happy event in your family, but it hasn’t been passed on yet? Then you go back and say it soon, so as to make your old lady happy.”

Mrs. Wang almost vomited blood.

Why is it a good thing for the Lin family when their daughter is unlucky? !

Sure enough, she asked Mrs. Han to say congratulations and congratulations, forcing Mrs. Wang to sit still no longer, and immediately got up and left.

In fact, she also understood in her heart that Yuan Chun's will to leave the palace was a certainty, and no one could undo it.

She took a trip, besides reporting a very faint hope, she also hoped that her brother Nianzai would love her brother and sister. Seeing that she was pitiful and that Yuanchun was her own niece, she would take Yuanchun to heart and give Yuanchun's choice to the palace. A good marriage is good.

At this moment, my brother didn't see her, but she was full of hearing about Lin Ruhai's return to Beijing. Mrs. Wang came here full of grievances, and then left full of anger and resentment.

After Mrs. Wang left, Mrs. Han went to the inner room to meet Prince Teng who was resting with his eyes closed.

It turned out that he had been at home all the time, but he had a headache because of the reason for Mrs. Wang's visit, so he didn't want to see this girl.

Seeing Mrs. Han, Wang Ziteng also said with emotion: "One emperor and one courtier, I used to think about competing with Lin Ruhai, but now it's meaningless to think about it."

"It's not too bad that once the old man goes, I won't be able to be the governor of the Beijing camp, and he won't be able to be the censor of salt."

Mrs. Han persuaded: "But the master has been promoted to an official position. The admiral of the nine provinces is a serious official from the first rank. He must be admired and respected by people when he travels around the capital on behalf of the capital. It's not like doing a job in this capital." Officials, there are royal relatives and relatives everywhere, and it is difficult to be a man. Without so many troubles and troubles in the capital, the master can only go to relax."

Wang Ziteng laughed at himself: "I have to comfort myself like this. Fortunately, the emperor can still see my hard work, give me face, and be promoted to the first rank."

Although it is said to be promoted and descended secretly, at least it has been promoted. Although the military power is gone, it is decent in face.

Don't think that face is worthless, just look at the Rongguo Mansion, the emperor won't even give face.Otherwise, with the huge number of the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards, as well as the number of court ladies summoned over the years, even if Jia Yuanchun is accepted, it's nothing, just give him a place, and it can be regarded as a home to appease the veterans.

Could it be that the emperor didn't understand the meaning of the Rongguo Mansion's insistence on sending the girl into the palace, but he sent the girl back home just after the Empress Dowager's filial piety.

It can be seen that I and Lin Ruhai still have room and value for the emperor to give me face, but the Rongguo Mansion doesn't even have this weight.

At this moment, Wang Ziteng really regarded Lin Ruhai as an "ex-emperor's former minister" who felt sorry for each other. He only thought that the emperor called Lin Ruhai back to save him from the real power errands in his hands, and he was not allowed to continue to control the salt government. It is rare for Lin Ruhai to sigh .

After expressing the sighs of the same fallen people in Tianya, Wang Ziteng was ready to wait for Lin Ruhai to come back. The two settled down, sat down and had a drink, and discussed how the four major families and the Lin family would seek development in the hands of the emperor in the future. .

Mrs. Han didn't understand these things, she just comforted Wang Ziteng through the matter of Jia's mansion: "The master is right, the emperor still values ​​the master's hard work for many years, and gave him a decent one."

As a human being, happiness comes only when there is comparison.

No, it is easy for people to get comfort when they have the lowest comparison.

Seeing that the Rongguo Mansion was ignored by the emperor and directly sent back their daughter's fate, Wang Ziteng and Han Shi felt much better, and felt that it was acceptable to go up and down secretly.

--

Besides, the Wang family has a bleak reference as comfort, but as the bleak reference itself, the Rongguo Mansion is really sad.

When Lin Jiang came home from get off work that day, he noticed the gloomy situation in Rongguo Mansion.The servants all seemed to have become cat demons within a day, they all walked silently, they were so quiet and scary, they were afraid of causing any disturbance to upset the masters.

Even the four maids who came to carry Lin Jiang's sedan chair every day walked very cautiously, making Lin Jiang's return to Lanzhi Hospital much slower than usual.

After getting out of the sedan chair, Lin Jiang felt pitiful seeing their sweaty faces. It was too difficult to do heavy work without making a sound in this summer, so she gave each of them two silver peanuts, and only said to let them go. The cook wants a bowl of mung bean soup to relieve the heat.

The women received a reward of one tael of silver, seemed to be happy for something, lowered their voices and thanked them a thousand times before quietly leaving.

Lin Jiang was speechless.

Just by looking at the faces of the people, one can see how much Yuan Chun's return from the palace without success has dealt a blow to the masters of the Rongguo Mansion.

Fortunately, there is no such situation in Lanzhi Courtyard, and life is still as usual.When Lin Jiang entered the door, he saw the little maids splashing water on the gravel road to cool down.

Two white cranes were sleeping standing up in the shade.

And the snow geese and precious stones followed Daiyu, standing on the porch listening to Daiyu teaching the parrot to read poems.

What a leisurely picture scroll.

Daiyu said something, and the parrot immediately followed.

Xueyan couldn't help enviously saying: "This parrot learns faster than me. The girl reads those poems and articles. I just find it awkward and forget it after hearing it. How come it remembers it after listening to it once?"

The snow goose being crushed by a bird can't accept it.

And this emerald parrot can not only read poetry, but also has good eyesight.She was the first to see Lin Jiang standing by the door, and began to call out: "Xueyan lifts the curtain, Xueyan lifts the curtain, Lord Yuanzheng is back."

Everyone laughed.

This sentence, Mr. Yuanzheng, was the same day after Lin Jiang was promoted, and the whole Lanzhi Academy, starting with Daiyu, called it this way for a day to congratulate.

Who knew even the parrot remembered it.

Lin Jiang walked up the steps, took the parrot's favorite fruit snack from Gemstone, and tossed it two: "It's such a good bird, it should hang two in the hospital, and it's specially for me to report."

The parrot seemed to understand, ate the nuts and flapped its wings: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

Grandma Xia heard the movement in the room, she came out with a happy face, and said happily: "The eldest girl is back."

Seeing that she was so happy, Lin Jiang couldn't help but said, "Could it be that you already know the good news?"

Madam Xia wondered, "What good news?"

Lin Jiang was puzzled: "Then why is Nanny so happy?"

Bao Bao smiled next to him and told Lin Jiang: "Mommy Xia is happy when she sees that everyone in this mansion is about to shave their heads." In short, as long as Rongguo Mansion is not happy, Mammy Xia will be happy.

Daiyu heard the voice and asked Lin Jiang: "What good news does my sister have?"

Lin Jiang pulled her into the room: "The imperial decree has been issued, and my uncle is going to Beijing to report on his duties. Is it good news?"

As soon as these words came out, Mother Daiyu Xia was filled with joy.

There is a huge difference between the happiness of Lanzhi Courtyard and the depression outside.
