[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor
Chapter 66
When Lin Jiang and Wei Ren arrived at Rongxi Hall, they saw Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others only surrounded Jia Baoyu, and even Aunt Zhao was there poking around.
Seeing Lin Jiang walking in, Mother Jia seemed to have found the backbone, she ignored the status of the old Feng Jun, and just begged: "I only hope that Lin Yuanzheng can save Baoyu's life. Our whole family is very grateful."
Lin Jiangang was in the carriage just now, and searched for [Witch Gu], [Suppressing Victory], and [Nightmare Town] with keywords, and sure enough, he found a lot of products.
This was a big blank that she had overlooked, so she spent it urgently on the carriage.
There are a lot of evil things in the system, but after the opening of the store on the fifth floor, Lin Jiang has some disdain for the products at the front, thinking that it is all a waste of reputation, so it is better to do it in one step.
Besides, she can now earn reputation points from the simulated consulting room and simulated operating room. At the same time, when she was promoted to the hospital, her points also skyrocketed, and she returned to more than [-] reputation points, so she directly bought a fifth floor Expensive items in the store.
[A drop of blood from a divine beast to ward off evil spirits]: "Zhongzhou Ji" has a saying: The divine beast wards off evil spirits, resembling a deer, with a long tail, can dispel evil spirits and suppress evil, and keep Kangtai forever. [1]
A drop of blood spilled by a divine beast condenses into a jewel, and wearing it can break all insidious spells and keep one's life and spirit alive.
A drop of blood rolled around in Lin Jiang's sight.
When Lin Jiang clicked to buy, a prompt popped up that hadn't appeared before: Please choose the wearing mode of [Evil Resisting Blood Bead].
She looked at the jewelry style pictures provided by the system (she ignored the paid version and went straight to the free one), and chose the simplest style with a red string tied with a red bead.
Anyone who looks at it will only think that she is a girl who brought a coral bead as an ornament.
At this moment, as soon as she approached Baoyu, the beads emitted a heat that could not be ignored.
At the same time, in her field of vision, the patterns of a paper figurine and five green-faced paper ghosts were outlined.This is the source of the witchcraft that the evil spirit found for her. At the same time, it also helped her locate it, and gave a friendly reminder: "Just pick up the paper ghost with the hand wearing [Evil evil], and this inferior magic can be broken."
Lin Jiang didn't want to let the evidence of the crime be wiped out so quickly, so he gave Baoyu a random pulse with his right hand, and then put his left hand with the blood beads of the beast behind his back, and only let Wei Ren step forward: "Master Wei, please help me!" I lifted the bed under Second Master Bao."
Mother Jia and others were very surprised, and asked Lin Jiang why, but the quilt was too thick, which hindered the disease.
The old god Lin Jiang said: "I see that this pulse condition is not a disease, but rather a technique of overpowering. If you want to curse someone, you must have a curse-casting utensil within three feet of you."
Jia Mu woke up like a dream, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare to work, Mr. Wei."
Immediately called the two women to come in, carried Baoyu, who was still struggling in the dream, to the couch where the servant girl kept watch at the side, and personally led people to search the bedding, and sure enough, they found five paper ghosts with green faces and fangs, and one with Baoyu's birth date written on it. Paper figurines come.
When Jia's mother saw this villain, she seemed to be the one who was cursed, and immediately burst into tears, and threw these sneaky things in front of Jia Zheng: "Look, you don't even know that your son was killed by someone. Do you have the face to be a father?"
Mrs. Wang was also crying beside him, making Jia Zheng's face turn red.
He was very concerned about saving face, first glanced at Wei Ren, and then explained with embarrassment: "My son can't stand what mother said."
Only then did Mother Jia recover from the shock.
Lin Jiangxin said: "As expected, it's Jia Mu. In the blink of an eye, I can basically make a good guess."
Who hates Baoyu to this extent, who can have the birth date of Baoyu and Feng, and who can visit everywhere, stuff this paper ghost under the bed, from the motive to the modus operandi, the suspect is really too less.
So he fell directly to Jia Zheng.
It's just that there is no evidence yet, and she is still in front of an outsider, so Mother Jia doesn't argue with Jia Zheng for the time being, and just asks the maid to go to Sister Feng's place to spread the word, and take out the paper man first.
And Jia Mu came over and thanked her a thousand times: "Thanks to Lin Yuanzheng." Then she came to ask Lin Jiang how to deal with such evil things.
Lin Jiang shook his head: "Shi Taijun, I only know medical skills. When I took the pulse, I saw that the pulse was not a serious illness, so I came here. After all, the way of gods and ghosts is not clear. Let the real people invited by the mansion go to work."
As a person from a family background, Jia Mu is no stranger to these things, and there are many invited real monks standing outside.To collect people's money and people to eliminate disasters, they naturally have their own ways to keep these paper figurines and paper ghosts.
Lin Jiang didn't have to make a move.
Mother Jia didn't know how to thank Lin Jiang more and more, but although Baoyu no longer went crazy and fell asleep, the whole Rongguo Mansion was still in a mess, so she had to personally take Lin Jiang's hand and send her out all the way, only saying that Baoyu and Sister Feng Well, I need to come to the door to thank you.
Wei Ren made the background board all the way, and followed Lin Jiang all the way out.
But when Jia Zhen saw that everything had been decided, she wanted to make friends with Wei Ren, and warmly invited him to Ningguo Mansion to 'practice riding and archery' together.
The riding and archery bureau set up by Jia Zhen and others is well-known in Beijing, and there are not as many arrows in the mansion as Geisha prostitutes.
Lin Jiang looked back at Wei Ren when he heard the words.
Wei Ren was about to refuse, but after receiving Lin Jiang's suspicious gaze, he refused firmly with righteous words: "No need!"
Jia Zhen was not allowed to say anything more, but said: "I was ordered to escort Lin Yuanzheng back to the mansion. Farewell!"
Jia Zhen and the others had no choice but to stop resentfully.
After leaving the gate of the Rongguo Mansion and getting into the carriage that the Lin family followed all the way, Wei Ren still reined in his horse and walked slowly beside him, saying to Lin Jiang: "You will enter the palace tomorrow, and your majesty has to say something about today's matter. .”
Lin Jiang was puzzled in the car and asked, "What?"
Wei Ren said: "Witches and Gu are the most taboo thing in the palace. You are an upright person. If you ask others to talk about it before His Majesty, you have a little bit of this skill. Why don't we talk about it first? It will be fair and honest. It will save you In the future, someone with a heart will use this matter to frame you."
He lowered his voice, and told Lin Jiang: "Master Lin never gave the eldest prince a little face in the south of the Yangtze River. Instead, he publicly published a copy of the book. This time, when Mr. Lin returns to Beijing, the eldest prince must hold grudges in his heart."
Therefore, sometimes people in the world would rather offend a gentleman than a villain out of conscience, because the villain is difficult to guard against, but a gentleman can bully him.
Lin Jiang is now in the palace, everything should be done carefully, and anyone who can report should report to the emperor.
After all, in the royal family, anything with a little bit of witchcraft is a big deal.
So the next day after Lin Jiang checked the emperor's pulse, he told the story.The emperor was quite interested, so he just asked Lin Jiang if he brought the paper figurine?He also wanted to see it with his own eyes, after all, he had only heard about it before, but he had never seen it.
Lin Jiang was speechless, and only said: "I am not a real Taoist, so I dare not take those things."
The emperor didn't seem to care much, so he smiled and said: "After all, it's a girl's house, so you are afraid of these ghosts and gods. In fact, that's all. If it is true, as the ancient books and rumors say, when King Wu defeated Zhou, Jiang Taigong used arrows Shoot the portrait of Marquis Ding, and Marquis Ding falls ill, so everything is simple.”[2]
"If that's the case, I don't have to worry about governing the country. I don't have to think about deploying a large army on the border between Beirong and Nanman to prevent them from making trouble. I just ask people to prick their portraits with needles in the palace. Isn't that the end? That's why I said, This sorcery may not be able to suppress people whose luck has not declined."
The occurrence of this evil spirit in the Rongguo Mansion shows that the legacy of the ancestors has come to an end, and the luck of the family has declined.
Lin Jiang couldn't help but have a rebellious guess in his heart: Could it be that the emperor was invalid because of the villain who tied the emperor in the past, so he has such emotion.
No matter what happened in the past, after she finished preparing the report to the emperor, she still left and went back to the imperial hospital.
Her daily life is very fulfilling now.Although the question bank of the Examination Collection has been finished, she has the [Scholar's Gaze] and an unforgettable memory. Naturally, she seizes the time to immerse herself in the sea of medical books in the Tai Hospital every day to read and break through thousands of volumes.
If you are tired from reading, you can do simulated surgery to practice one or two to change your mind.
If you have plans, cares and hopes in your heart, you will be full of energy. The emperor likes to see people who are so bright and cheerful, as if nothing is difficult in her hands.
How reliable this imperial hospital is, seeing that it is ready, and wants to find an imperial physician with a sad face every day, the emperor doesn't want to see or believe that bitter face.
Just after he praised Lin Jiang in his heart that the Maxima he had picked out by himself was useful, when he turned around, the next letter was sent by Lin Changzhou again.
I saw in the booklet, Lin Changzhu reported that since he led [-] soldiers, he has "convinced people with (martial) virtue" overseas, and the business has naturally grown bigger and smoother.This is not to report the account to the emperor privately, let the emperor himself check, which money and jewels will go to the private treasury first, and the rest will be reported as the official income of the game envoy and go to the national treasury.
The emperor looked even happier: this father and daughter, one is responsible for my physical and mental health, and the other is responsible for my full purse, they are really the pillars of the country.
Then I thought of Lin Ruhai who had returned to Beijing.
Speaking of which, in the eyes of the emperor, Lin Ruhai is a talent, able to subdue all places in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are very few courtiers who have been in charge of the salt government for many years without chaos.
Even though he is a Tanhua from the hands of the Supreme Emperor, but he is a civil servant who does not command soldiers, and a direct minister who does not collude with the princes, the emperor will not throw it away.
But how to use it, the emperor is really hesitant.
It is said that Lin Ruhai has been in the salt administration for many years, and he is naturally the most knowledgeable in finance. If he is transferred back to Beijing, he can be promoted by half a grade according to the old rules, and he will go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to be a minister of the first grade. The two are still friends of the same discipline.
Naturally, the emperor can't do this exchange of official positions between the two, lest the two of them continue to work hand in hand, then the meaning of this official transfer to prevent monopoly will be gone.
But if it wasn't for the household department, where would Lin Ruhai be put?
The emperor thought about it carefully.
One day when Lin Jiang went out of the palace and returned to the Lin Mansion, he saw Daiyu brewing sweet-scented osmanthus wine, Lin Jiang looked at it for a while and laughed, "My sister has to ask me to test it before drinking it. "
Daiyu didn't understand, so Lin Jiang said: "The wine brewing in the restaurant outside is stricter. The ratio of grain, water and sweet-scented osmanthus is not strict, and the sealing is also different from what we make at home. The wine brewed by ourselves may blind the eyes. .”
Just like many people in modern times bottle grapes to make wine by themselves, they become blind due to excessive formaldehyde.
Lin Jiang had spent five reputation points from the system in exchange for a formaldehyde measuring instrument, specially prepared for his favorite drinking.
Even if it is wine bought from outside, she will test that it does not exceed the standard before drinking - she does not trust the ancient non-industrial standardized wine-making process, who knows which bottle will have a wrong chemical reaction.
When Daiyu heard this, she decided to forget it, and only handed over the sorted sweet-scented osmanthus to the mother, and still entrusted the brewing to a special big restaurant outside.
After washing his hands, he shared with Lin Jiang the latest news from Rongguo Mansion.
Today Daiyu went to comfort Jia Mu for a day, and she just came back.
After all, it was a major event in the grandparents' family that almost turned into a funeral ceremony, and Daiyu herself had just moved out of Jia's house, so it would be a bad idea to ignore her at this moment, so she naturally wanted to visit her.
It is said that since the paper ghost disappeared, Baoyu and Sister Feng have gradually recovered, and today they have begun to meet people, and they can eat a little porridge.
Lin Jiang listened to Daiyu's talk, and the scarlet monk and the lame Taoist also appeared.
It's just that the paper ghosts have been destroyed at this time, and Baoyufeng's life is safe. Although the monk and Taoist priest also said that they will hang up the jade, the Jia family didn't regard them as saviors. Baoyu was hung on the bedside, and then the monk and Taoist priest were sent out together with other real people.
Daiyu sighed again: "This matter probably has something to do with Aunt Zhao in the second uncle's family. When I went today, the third sister hid herself from the crowd and wept. She is doing some needlework, and is planning to tell her to marry her in the next year or so, and she is no longer allowed to be a housekeeper."
Poor Tanchun, who managed the house with Sister Feng for half a year, just touched the doorway and established her prestige, just when she felt that everything was going in a good direction, but was kicked into the pit by Aunt Zhao.
Tanchun pulled Daiyu and cried: "We are also a family, but we are like black-eyed chickens. I wish you could eat me and I will eat you."
She was also very sad: after all, Sister Feng and Baoyu were good relatives to her, and it was the most difficult thing for Aunt Zhao to harm others, and it was the most difficult thing for Tanchun to be caught in it.
That is to say, because of Tanchun's face, Mother Jia was angry again, and did not deal with Aunt Zhao directly, and did not even announce the matter to the public.It's just that Aunt Zhao has a seasonal illness and can pass others. She was afraid of infecting the old lady or girls, so she sent it to Zhuangzi to be raised first, and then brought it back later.
Of course, no one will say when it will be in the future.
Tanchun really didn't even dare to cry in front of people this time, for fear that the servants would comment: "The girl is still crying, but I'm trying to persuade my aunt to do less evil, so I don't have to cry a vat of tears today, who will see it?" Woolen cloth."
Even when Tanchun was crying in the house, Zhou Rui's family would tell her these words directly, making Tanchun tremble with anger.
Daiyu saw that Tanchun's eyes were like peaches, and felt that the third sister was really miserable.
Lin Jiang also felt that Tanchun could be said to be an innocent disaster, and remembered Tanchun's words of grief and indignation: "As long as I am a man, if I can go out, I will leave early and start a career. At that time, I will have my own life." Some truths" also feel sad, Tanchun is a person with ambition, and because he is smart and ambitious, he will be several times more painful than those who follow the crowd.
She had no choice but to comfort Daiyu and said: "Actually, I don't talk about feelings. I just say that Aunt Zhao is a person. It's good to go to Zhuangzi. Go early and have a good life, so I won't do anything in the future and make Tanchun continue to embarrass me. In the end Taijun Bian Shi valued Tanchun, so he didn't point out this matter, and it will be fine after a while."
Daiyu also said: "That's right, when Sister Feng recovers, we'll go and talk about reconciliation, and don't make her blame Third Sister in her heart."
As for Baoyu, the two of them rarely felt that he had a little bit of goodness, that is, he never blamed his sister.Even if he knew that it was Aunt Zhao who harmed him, he might only feel sorry for Tanchun having such a mother-in-law, and would not blame his sister.
Lin Jiang responded: "Well, that's the reason. Let's go when I get back to Xiumu next time. I'm a doctor who comes for follow-up visits. Second Mistress Lian always wants to save face. At that time, I will find a reason to take the third sister over. Let's relax for a few days."
Firstly, it was to relax her mind, and secondly, it was to give her some confidence, so that she would not be bullied by the servants in the mansion over there.
--
Lin Jiang and Daiyu received the reason for Tanchun's coming very quickly, and they didn't need to look for it. It was a happy event—three days later, the imperial decree was issued, and Lin Ruhai was promoted to the second-rank salt inspector Lin Ruhai as the first-rank Rites Shangshu, hand over to Wei Qian, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, within ten days.
When Rongguo Mansion got Xin'er, Jia Mu's worried face of worrying about Baoyu for many days finally disappeared.
"Good thing! Good thing!"
There is no prime minister in this dynasty, but according to the old practice of having six prime ministers in the previous dynasty, these six ministers are the prime ministers in the past.
What's more, Lin Ruhai only knows the year of destiny, and he is not considered an old courtier at all.As long as his wife survives a few years in a normal way, when he gets old and becomes an official, he will be given the honorary title of a genuine "Taifu" and let him retire with honor as an extremely high-ranking official.
This official position has reached such a point, it can be regarded as the end.
When the Rongguo Mansion was the most prominent, although Rongguo Duke had the title of Duke, in terms of official position, he was only a second-rank Jingying Jiedushi and a first-rank general protecting the country, which was already the ceiling of a general.
Ever since Lin Ruhai came back to Beijing, the masters of the Rongguo Mansion have been worried about this matter, fearing that if the Supreme Emperor is gone, Lin Ruhai's official position will also be lost. Now that the dust has finally settled, it can be said that everyone in the Jia family is happy.
At this time, Sister Feng is mostly healed, but she is still a little dizzy, so she got up and accompanied Mrs. Xing to Mother Jia to congratulate her.
Needless to say, Jia pardoned Jia Zheng, they all came to celebrate with Jia's mother, and even Jia Zhen from the East Mansion brought Jia Rong over to rub the joy, her face was full of joy.
It's just that Jia Zheng was a little puzzled: "My brother-in-law was originally from the household department of Yanzheng. Since he was promoted to a minister, why didn't he get promoted to the household department, but went to the Ministry of Rites?"
Hearing what he said, the men of Jia's family looked at each other in blank dismay: This is a serious state affairs, and I don't understand it at all.
It was the time when the two masters of the historian came to congratulate the Jia family, and they solved the doubts for the Jia family. Facing Jia Zheng's question, Zhong Jinghou said: "Among the six departments, the official department is naturally the department of heaven, which is in charge of the dispatch of officials in the world. It is the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, one in charge of military power and the other in charge of wealth."
"As for the importance, it will be the turn of the other three departments later. The Ministry of Rites is considered the most noble department among the six departments. In the past, there were no major issues except for sacrifices and so on."
When Jia She and Jia Zheng heard this, he became anxious, and Jia She asked directly: "Could it be that your majesty doesn't want to trust your brother-in-law, so you don't give it to the Ministry of Households?" Only a noble department?
Think about it too, the country is the same as the family to some extent.In their Jia family, the person in charge of sacrifices is of course also important, but where is the power of the person in charge of finances?
Bao Linghou shook his head and said: "Two years ago, the emperor gave Mr. Lin the title of Minister of Rites, but not the Ministry of Households. Maybe he didn't trust him very much, but this year he gave Mr. Lin the position of Minister of Rites, but he will use it more. "
Seeing both Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng's eagerness for knowledge, the Shijia brothers sighed: How did the Jia family, which was the leader of our four major families, fall into such a state?
If they explained it to Wang Ziteng at this moment, they would definitely not have to talk so much nonsense.
It was because Bao Linghou was older and had a more patient temper, so he explained to the two idiots of the Jia family: "Last month, there was an excerpt from the imperial history, and it was said that the princes are getting older, especially the eldest prince is standing next to him. In the first year, there are groups of children under the knees, and they continue to live in the palace and meet with the aunts every day, which is not suitable for etiquette."
The censors also expressed the thoughts of the ministers: In the past, you didn't care whether your son was a king because you still have the Supreme Emperor, but now the Supreme Emperor has already ruled Bintian, so the matter of the prince leaving the palace to open the mansion is no longer important. Can't delay it.
Since the founding of the dynasty, the princes have been married according to age, and then moved out of the palace.
The emperor's reign was really delayed until now due to special circumstances.
Of course, this wave of requests from the courtiers is also for testing - because there is a prince who does not have to leave the palace, and that is the prince!He has his own East Palace to live in, even if he is 80 years old, he doesn't have to leave the palace.
The proposal of the censors is also to test the emperor, whether he intends to make the eldest son of the concubine the eldest son as the crown prince.
It doesn't matter if it's not the eldest prince, as long as the emperor keeps any older son in the palace, that is the invisible prince.
And the emperor really didn't dismiss this statement this time, he just asked the Ministry of Rites to discuss it in detail.
Before the Ministry of Rites started discussing, there was a major change in personnel affairs.
The emperor's appointment of Lin Ruhai as Minister of Rites at this moment is really important!Next, the titles of the princes are the focus of everyone's attention.
So the historian also rushed to congratulate him, wanting to get close to the newly released Minister of Rites: After all, in terms of relatives, the historian has no direct relatives with the Lin family, and they still have to rely on Jia Mu.
Thinking of this, the two historians also lamented that Mother Jia was really lucky: when she was young, she relied on her husband to become the wife of a first-class country. As for the size, the wealth and honor of a lifetime cannot be escaped.
And Jia She and Jia Zheng heard the two historians, and broke up the political situation that they had analyzed with them, and immediately even his beard was full of joy.
Now I understand, it means that my brother-in-law has gained the emperor's attention after the emperor's favor!
What a happy event!
So when Lin Jiangxiumu came to the door with Daiyu, the Rongguo Mansion was so enthusiastic that the two of them went very smoothly.
After taking a look at Jia Baoyu from Jia's mother, Lin Jiang asked Daiyu to see Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng had been waiting in the room a long time ago, and even prepared refreshments.When they met, they first congratulated Daiyu: "Master Lin is overjoyed!" Then she asked Daiyu when Lin Ruhai would rest, so that she could let Jia Lian come to pay her respects in person.
Seeing her expression, Lin Jiang knew she was cured, and then felt her pulse and said: "Second Mistress is fine, but the housekeeper has been too tired these years, and her foundation has always been wasted. Just take advantage of this good time to make up for it , it’s a blessing in disguise.”
Speaking of disasters, Daiyu and Lin Jiang thought about bringing up Tanchun.
Wang Xifeng was very forthright: "Two sisters, don't worry, I'm not that kind of foolish person. The third sister is a noble lady in the family, and Aunt Zhao is just a concubine from a family. She is called an aunt, but she is actually a servant. She What does it have to do with the third sister?"
Sister Feng has always looked down on Aunt Zhao from the bottom of her heart.
At this time, she poured tea for Lin Jiang herself, and said with a smile: "Besides, the danger of my illness this time was saved by Lin Yuanzheng's action. You two came to intercede for the third sister. There are some pimples, and all of them will disappear now."
Jia's mother thought so too: Although Baoyu is her heart and soul, Tanchun is also her own granddaughter, whom she has always liked.
What's more, everyone can see what kind of person Tanchun is, and knows that she has not been involved in these villain incidents. Jia's mother has no choice but to let her take away her housekeeping power, and she also feels pitiful for Tanchun.
So Daiyu proposed that she would follow her third younger sister to play for a few days, and Mother Jia nodded her head in agreement.
Tanchun did not expect that the two elder sisters Lin would come here to tell her the truth, and knowing that she is in a very embarrassing situation in the mansion, he wanted to pick her up to live in Lin's house for a few days, so he was very grateful, and got into the carriage with tears in his eyes. .
Once out of the main street of Rongguo Mansion, Tanchun heard the rumble of carriages on the street, couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly hugged Daiyu and cried: "Sister Lin..."
Daiyu looked sad and didn't try to persuade her, but just patted her on the shoulder, making Tanchun cry for a while.It's good that people can cry so happily.
Besides, Lin Ruhai's predecessor, Minister of Rites, is not an outsider.
Wei Qian, Lord Wei, is the elder brother of Princess Shao.
The emperor and the king of Shao, that is really a literal "fatal friendship", and they also love the Wei family.This time Mr. Wei was transferred to the household department, and Wei Qian and Lin Ruhai just arranged two courtiers.
Master Wei took the order, tidied up from the Ministry of Rites, and was going to be the boss of the Ministry of Households.
Before leaving, he handed over to Lin Ruhai all the matters related to the entrustment of the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty that he had found out.
Lin Ruhai hurriedly thanked him sincerely: he is familiar with the household department, but he is indeed relatively unfamiliar with the etiquette department.
This is because he was born in a noble family and has been the head of the family for many years, so he is quite familiar with etiquette so that he will not be at a loss.
If you want to change an official with a grassroots imperial examination background, you really can't hold the Ministry of Rites for a while.After all, the officials under the Ministry of Rites also quoted scriptures when they spoke, and they used big gifts to overwhelm people at every turn.
In short, the information Mr. Wei left him was a great help and kindness.
Wei Qian looked at Lin Ruhai and laughed: He is the direct sister of Princess Shao, and the younger sister is Zhou Liheng, an only seedling.
Zhou Liheng's marriage was rough, Master Wei was more anxious than his own sons' marriage troubles.
After all, I have several grandchildren in my arms, and my sister has not yet settled down.
Now, I heard from my wife that the Prince Shao's mansion fell in love with Lin Ruhai's daughter, and Master Wei naturally had a good impression of Lin Ruhai, and he left information for him as if he were his own family. The big family knows the etiquette well.
Lin Ruhai didn't understand at first why Mr. Wei was so kind and supportive to him, and he only thought that Wei Qian was a good person.Later, after I figured out the relationship between the Wei family and Prince Shao's mansion, I realized that the co-author was also to remember my daughter.
No wonder Mr. Wei often showed him a smile of "ask me if you have anything, we are our own family anyway".
It's just that Lin Ruhai also inquired about the son of Shao Wang's mansion since the emperor showed his intention to connect with Shao's mansion and his family.
Lin Ruhai naturally knew about Zhou Liheng's strange history of falling ill after talking about his relationship.
Therefore, Lin Ruhai didn't regard this marriage as a certainty. He was the woman anyway, so he just waited for the man's action.
Lin Ruhai, who had just refused the royal family in front of the emperor, had no fear of Prince Shao's residence.
If the man himself is not a good match, then no kind of family will do!
--
It wasn't until October, a hundred days after the Supreme Emperor, that Shao Wang and his wife brought their son to visit Lin Ruhai formally.
Although the father-in-law always looked at his son-in-law with extremely critical eyes, but Lin Ruhai is human after all, and as a human being, he loves beauty.
So he, like the world, couldn't help being shaken when he saw Zhou Liheng's face.
This looks really... like my son-in-law.
Shao Wang took his son to meet Lin Ruhai in the front yard, specially observing his expression.
Seeing Lin Ruhai's polite but alienated attitude from the beginning, to the moment of astonishment and admiration after seeing Zhou Liheng, and his gradually gentle expression after talking - Shao Wang became more and more confident: Sure enough, he brought his son here That's right!
It's not that King Shao is boasting, he knows that his son is definitely the most sought-after son-in-law in the capital.
Needless to say about her background and appearance, the most rare thing is her gentle and kind temper.
As a biological father, King Shao sometimes felt that his son was too kind and afraid that he would be bullied, but from the perspective of his father-in-law, he would definitely like a son-in-law with an extremely gentle temperament!No one wants their son-in-law to be violent and violent, so what if they are also violent towards their own daughter?
Zhou Liheng's mildness and kindness of healing is what really moved Lin Ruhai.
Her own daughter knew that Lin Ruhai cherished her daughter's talent very much, and couldn't bear to restrain her to be clumsy and introverted like an ordinary girl, blindly keeping her inner house.
But Lin Ruhai also knew that he did not meet the standards of a mainstream daughter-in-law in an aristocratic family by raising his daughter so carefully.
For example, if the awl is in the bag, and at the end of the day, Daiyu's disposition is already like this, it cannot be suppressed for a long time, and she will always reveal her talents and ideas different from other women.
That being the case, Lin Ruhai hoped that his son-in-law would be a gentle and tolerant person in the future, not that arrogant and stubborn young master who demanded a lot from his wife and blindly pursued the husband as his wife.
Even Lin Ruhai could foresee that her daughter's life after marriage would never be happy.
Zhou Liheng's appearance met almost all of Lin Ruhai's requirements for his son-in-law.
If you have to pick a bone in an egg, it is that Zhou Liheng's background is too good. If the young couple quarrels in the future, the Lin family is really no match for the Shao Palace. There is no better way.
It's just that this worry gradually melted into Zhou Liheng's eyes.
Zhou Liheng has a comforting and gentle temperament, not only a piece of beautiful jade, but also a piece of beautiful jade that is warm to the touch, which makes people feel that it is ironic.
When Lin Ruhai came to his senses, he realized that he had actually started to bring Zhou Liheng into the role of son-in-law. He was worried about the future of the young couple, so he couldn't help but startled himself: Why did he give in so quickly?
Princess Shao went into the inner house.
The Lin family has no mistress, there are two girls in total, Lin Jiang is still on duty in the palace, and the Lin family only has Daiyu in the big inner courtyard, after all, it seems a bit lonely at this time.
When Princess Shao saw that Daiyu was a girl's family, she arranged to entertain guests, and she felt more pity in her heart.
But Daiyu didn't know the purpose of Prince Shao's residence at this time, she only visited Prince Shao's residence, and she respected and loved Princess Shao very much in her heart.Therefore, when I saw Princess Shao, I was very kind, and I even took out several kinds of golden silk plums and medicinal fruits that I made with Lin Jiang to invite Princess Shao to eat.
"It's dry in central Beijing, so my sister prepared a lot of recipes for nourishing and nourishing the lungs. We made them ourselves with the people around us. The taste may not be as good as the preserved fruit shops outside, but it's very clean."
As expected, Princess Shao tasted some of everything, and said: "The taste is worse than outside, presumably because the fruit and icing are of the highest quality." Bingtang honey is naturally not as good as the quality in official residences like the Lin family.
Princess Shao didn't see outsiders: "I especially like these plums. Every autumn, I just feel dry and uncomfortable, and sometimes I don't bother to eat. If there are more plums, pack two boxes for me to take away."
Daiyu smiled and asked Xueyan to pack two boxes.
Princess Shao used preserved fruit, wiped her lips with a handkerchief, and then asked Daiyu: "The medical book that Linyuan is publishing, all the compilations in it use aliases, which one is yours?"
In fact, such a thing can be regarded as a secret. Their girls use nicknames to avoid being known.
But when Princess Shao asked, she was naturally different from other people: Princess Shao and Princess Qi Yang had nicknames themselves, and they were the ones who escorted the families of girls like them, so naturally they would not criticize them like many wives outside.
So Daiyu told the truth.
Sure enough, Princess Shao only nodded: "This is a very meritorious thing. Oh, it's ridiculous to say that this book is handed down, if a man is a sage, if the same book is a woman, there will be a lot of gossip. You don't need to pay attention to such people, why don't you give up eating because of choking?"
"Linyuan is shouldering the heavy responsibility of the Taiyuan Hospital, and now he has to be on duty in the palace every day. If you want to organize this medical book into a book, you must help her." Shao Wangfei's eyes were approving: "It really is Mr. Lin. A daughter who was brought up by herself."
She didn't mention Jia Mu, only Lin Ruhai.
Obviously different from the world, I don't think that the loss of the mother and the eldest daughter means less education. As long as the family style is upright and the father is willing to take on the responsibility of educating the children, the children will be fine.
On the contrary, Princess Shao thinks that Daiyu is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and it cannot be taught by Shi Taijun in Rongguo Mansion, who is now only a wealthy and wealthy man—if she can teach a granddaughter like Daiyu in a year, the descendants of the Jia family will not be left behind. It's come to this point.
With such a front courtyard and inner house, the two families met happily.
And Daiyu was smart, and after King Shao's family said goodbye and left, she figured out something was wrong.
Ever since his father returned to Beijing, he had repeatedly mentioned the Prince Shao's Mansion to himself, and asked him how he went to the banquet that day, and he was very concerned.
Especially about Princess Shao's temper, she asked again and again.
At that time, Daiyu was a little puzzled, she just thought that her father was concerned about her, and she was afraid that she would be wronged in the palace.
But today, King Shao came to visit with his family, and Princess Shao came to talk to her alone, and Daiyu suddenly understood something.
So in the evening, Lin Ruhai came over to talk to his daughter, and only said the first sentence: "Today I am watching the son of King Shao for my father, he is a good boy." Daiyu's face turned red.
Looking at Daiyu's expression, Lin Ruhai suddenly had mixed feelings, and all kinds of thoughts came to his mind.
It is extremely difficult for him and Jia Min to have children, and they have no children for many years.So that I finally had the ecstasy of Daiyu, the satisfaction of holding a baby in the swaddle, and the hard work of teaching Daiyu, and then the desolation of her wife passing away and only being dependent on her daughter.
Until today, I have to start choosing a husband for my daughter.
It was only after Lin Jiang returned to the mansion that day that he heard about Bao Bao, that Shao Wang's family came to the door.Lin Jiang couldn't help sighing: Princess Shao and Prince Shao's son are two beauties, she missed them both today, what an unfortunate day.
Bao Bao changed clothes for her, and said with a smile: "I heard from Xueyan that Princess Shao likes the medicinal plums very much, and she brought a box with her when she left."
Lin Jiang was not at home, so Baoshi was naturally guarding in her room, and only listened to it when Xueyan came to pick up the plums.
Lin Jiang said to her: "It's really delicious, but you don't like it, and everyone else likes it."
Gemstone just laughed: She and the girl are very compatible in all aspects, except for one thing, the girl doesn't like too sweet food, and even the fruit prefers sour ones, but Gemstone can't eat sour ones at all.
When she heard the girl say this, she felt very warm in her heart:
Seeing Lin Jiang walking in, Mother Jia seemed to have found the backbone, she ignored the status of the old Feng Jun, and just begged: "I only hope that Lin Yuanzheng can save Baoyu's life. Our whole family is very grateful."
Lin Jiangang was in the carriage just now, and searched for [Witch Gu], [Suppressing Victory], and [Nightmare Town] with keywords, and sure enough, he found a lot of products.
This was a big blank that she had overlooked, so she spent it urgently on the carriage.
There are a lot of evil things in the system, but after the opening of the store on the fifth floor, Lin Jiang has some disdain for the products at the front, thinking that it is all a waste of reputation, so it is better to do it in one step.
Besides, she can now earn reputation points from the simulated consulting room and simulated operating room. At the same time, when she was promoted to the hospital, her points also skyrocketed, and she returned to more than [-] reputation points, so she directly bought a fifth floor Expensive items in the store.
[A drop of blood from a divine beast to ward off evil spirits]: "Zhongzhou Ji" has a saying: The divine beast wards off evil spirits, resembling a deer, with a long tail, can dispel evil spirits and suppress evil, and keep Kangtai forever. [1]
A drop of blood spilled by a divine beast condenses into a jewel, and wearing it can break all insidious spells and keep one's life and spirit alive.
A drop of blood rolled around in Lin Jiang's sight.
When Lin Jiang clicked to buy, a prompt popped up that hadn't appeared before: Please choose the wearing mode of [Evil Resisting Blood Bead].
She looked at the jewelry style pictures provided by the system (she ignored the paid version and went straight to the free one), and chose the simplest style with a red string tied with a red bead.
Anyone who looks at it will only think that she is a girl who brought a coral bead as an ornament.
At this moment, as soon as she approached Baoyu, the beads emitted a heat that could not be ignored.
At the same time, in her field of vision, the patterns of a paper figurine and five green-faced paper ghosts were outlined.This is the source of the witchcraft that the evil spirit found for her. At the same time, it also helped her locate it, and gave a friendly reminder: "Just pick up the paper ghost with the hand wearing [Evil evil], and this inferior magic can be broken."
Lin Jiang didn't want to let the evidence of the crime be wiped out so quickly, so he gave Baoyu a random pulse with his right hand, and then put his left hand with the blood beads of the beast behind his back, and only let Wei Ren step forward: "Master Wei, please help me!" I lifted the bed under Second Master Bao."
Mother Jia and others were very surprised, and asked Lin Jiang why, but the quilt was too thick, which hindered the disease.
The old god Lin Jiang said: "I see that this pulse condition is not a disease, but rather a technique of overpowering. If you want to curse someone, you must have a curse-casting utensil within three feet of you."
Jia Mu woke up like a dream, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare to work, Mr. Wei."
Immediately called the two women to come in, carried Baoyu, who was still struggling in the dream, to the couch where the servant girl kept watch at the side, and personally led people to search the bedding, and sure enough, they found five paper ghosts with green faces and fangs, and one with Baoyu's birth date written on it. Paper figurines come.
When Jia's mother saw this villain, she seemed to be the one who was cursed, and immediately burst into tears, and threw these sneaky things in front of Jia Zheng: "Look, you don't even know that your son was killed by someone. Do you have the face to be a father?"
Mrs. Wang was also crying beside him, making Jia Zheng's face turn red.
He was very concerned about saving face, first glanced at Wei Ren, and then explained with embarrassment: "My son can't stand what mother said."
Only then did Mother Jia recover from the shock.
Lin Jiangxin said: "As expected, it's Jia Mu. In the blink of an eye, I can basically make a good guess."
Who hates Baoyu to this extent, who can have the birth date of Baoyu and Feng, and who can visit everywhere, stuff this paper ghost under the bed, from the motive to the modus operandi, the suspect is really too less.
So he fell directly to Jia Zheng.
It's just that there is no evidence yet, and she is still in front of an outsider, so Mother Jia doesn't argue with Jia Zheng for the time being, and just asks the maid to go to Sister Feng's place to spread the word, and take out the paper man first.
And Jia Mu came over and thanked her a thousand times: "Thanks to Lin Yuanzheng." Then she came to ask Lin Jiang how to deal with such evil things.
Lin Jiang shook his head: "Shi Taijun, I only know medical skills. When I took the pulse, I saw that the pulse was not a serious illness, so I came here. After all, the way of gods and ghosts is not clear. Let the real people invited by the mansion go to work."
As a person from a family background, Jia Mu is no stranger to these things, and there are many invited real monks standing outside.To collect people's money and people to eliminate disasters, they naturally have their own ways to keep these paper figurines and paper ghosts.
Lin Jiang didn't have to make a move.
Mother Jia didn't know how to thank Lin Jiang more and more, but although Baoyu no longer went crazy and fell asleep, the whole Rongguo Mansion was still in a mess, so she had to personally take Lin Jiang's hand and send her out all the way, only saying that Baoyu and Sister Feng Well, I need to come to the door to thank you.
Wei Ren made the background board all the way, and followed Lin Jiang all the way out.
But when Jia Zhen saw that everything had been decided, she wanted to make friends with Wei Ren, and warmly invited him to Ningguo Mansion to 'practice riding and archery' together.
The riding and archery bureau set up by Jia Zhen and others is well-known in Beijing, and there are not as many arrows in the mansion as Geisha prostitutes.
Lin Jiang looked back at Wei Ren when he heard the words.
Wei Ren was about to refuse, but after receiving Lin Jiang's suspicious gaze, he refused firmly with righteous words: "No need!"
Jia Zhen was not allowed to say anything more, but said: "I was ordered to escort Lin Yuanzheng back to the mansion. Farewell!"
Jia Zhen and the others had no choice but to stop resentfully.
After leaving the gate of the Rongguo Mansion and getting into the carriage that the Lin family followed all the way, Wei Ren still reined in his horse and walked slowly beside him, saying to Lin Jiang: "You will enter the palace tomorrow, and your majesty has to say something about today's matter. .”
Lin Jiang was puzzled in the car and asked, "What?"
Wei Ren said: "Witches and Gu are the most taboo thing in the palace. You are an upright person. If you ask others to talk about it before His Majesty, you have a little bit of this skill. Why don't we talk about it first? It will be fair and honest. It will save you In the future, someone with a heart will use this matter to frame you."
He lowered his voice, and told Lin Jiang: "Master Lin never gave the eldest prince a little face in the south of the Yangtze River. Instead, he publicly published a copy of the book. This time, when Mr. Lin returns to Beijing, the eldest prince must hold grudges in his heart."
Therefore, sometimes people in the world would rather offend a gentleman than a villain out of conscience, because the villain is difficult to guard against, but a gentleman can bully him.
Lin Jiang is now in the palace, everything should be done carefully, and anyone who can report should report to the emperor.
After all, in the royal family, anything with a little bit of witchcraft is a big deal.
So the next day after Lin Jiang checked the emperor's pulse, he told the story.The emperor was quite interested, so he just asked Lin Jiang if he brought the paper figurine?He also wanted to see it with his own eyes, after all, he had only heard about it before, but he had never seen it.
Lin Jiang was speechless, and only said: "I am not a real Taoist, so I dare not take those things."
The emperor didn't seem to care much, so he smiled and said: "After all, it's a girl's house, so you are afraid of these ghosts and gods. In fact, that's all. If it is true, as the ancient books and rumors say, when King Wu defeated Zhou, Jiang Taigong used arrows Shoot the portrait of Marquis Ding, and Marquis Ding falls ill, so everything is simple.”[2]
"If that's the case, I don't have to worry about governing the country. I don't have to think about deploying a large army on the border between Beirong and Nanman to prevent them from making trouble. I just ask people to prick their portraits with needles in the palace. Isn't that the end? That's why I said, This sorcery may not be able to suppress people whose luck has not declined."
The occurrence of this evil spirit in the Rongguo Mansion shows that the legacy of the ancestors has come to an end, and the luck of the family has declined.
Lin Jiang couldn't help but have a rebellious guess in his heart: Could it be that the emperor was invalid because of the villain who tied the emperor in the past, so he has such emotion.
No matter what happened in the past, after she finished preparing the report to the emperor, she still left and went back to the imperial hospital.
Her daily life is very fulfilling now.Although the question bank of the Examination Collection has been finished, she has the [Scholar's Gaze] and an unforgettable memory. Naturally, she seizes the time to immerse herself in the sea of medical books in the Tai Hospital every day to read and break through thousands of volumes.
If you are tired from reading, you can do simulated surgery to practice one or two to change your mind.
If you have plans, cares and hopes in your heart, you will be full of energy. The emperor likes to see people who are so bright and cheerful, as if nothing is difficult in her hands.
How reliable this imperial hospital is, seeing that it is ready, and wants to find an imperial physician with a sad face every day, the emperor doesn't want to see or believe that bitter face.
Just after he praised Lin Jiang in his heart that the Maxima he had picked out by himself was useful, when he turned around, the next letter was sent by Lin Changzhou again.
I saw in the booklet, Lin Changzhu reported that since he led [-] soldiers, he has "convinced people with (martial) virtue" overseas, and the business has naturally grown bigger and smoother.This is not to report the account to the emperor privately, let the emperor himself check, which money and jewels will go to the private treasury first, and the rest will be reported as the official income of the game envoy and go to the national treasury.
The emperor looked even happier: this father and daughter, one is responsible for my physical and mental health, and the other is responsible for my full purse, they are really the pillars of the country.
Then I thought of Lin Ruhai who had returned to Beijing.
Speaking of which, in the eyes of the emperor, Lin Ruhai is a talent, able to subdue all places in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are very few courtiers who have been in charge of the salt government for many years without chaos.
Even though he is a Tanhua from the hands of the Supreme Emperor, but he is a civil servant who does not command soldiers, and a direct minister who does not collude with the princes, the emperor will not throw it away.
But how to use it, the emperor is really hesitant.
It is said that Lin Ruhai has been in the salt administration for many years, and he is naturally the most knowledgeable in finance. If he is transferred back to Beijing, he can be promoted by half a grade according to the old rules, and he will go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to be a minister of the first grade. The two are still friends of the same discipline.
Naturally, the emperor can't do this exchange of official positions between the two, lest the two of them continue to work hand in hand, then the meaning of this official transfer to prevent monopoly will be gone.
But if it wasn't for the household department, where would Lin Ruhai be put?
The emperor thought about it carefully.
One day when Lin Jiang went out of the palace and returned to the Lin Mansion, he saw Daiyu brewing sweet-scented osmanthus wine, Lin Jiang looked at it for a while and laughed, "My sister has to ask me to test it before drinking it. "
Daiyu didn't understand, so Lin Jiang said: "The wine brewing in the restaurant outside is stricter. The ratio of grain, water and sweet-scented osmanthus is not strict, and the sealing is also different from what we make at home. The wine brewed by ourselves may blind the eyes. .”
Just like many people in modern times bottle grapes to make wine by themselves, they become blind due to excessive formaldehyde.
Lin Jiang had spent five reputation points from the system in exchange for a formaldehyde measuring instrument, specially prepared for his favorite drinking.
Even if it is wine bought from outside, she will test that it does not exceed the standard before drinking - she does not trust the ancient non-industrial standardized wine-making process, who knows which bottle will have a wrong chemical reaction.
When Daiyu heard this, she decided to forget it, and only handed over the sorted sweet-scented osmanthus to the mother, and still entrusted the brewing to a special big restaurant outside.
After washing his hands, he shared with Lin Jiang the latest news from Rongguo Mansion.
Today Daiyu went to comfort Jia Mu for a day, and she just came back.
After all, it was a major event in the grandparents' family that almost turned into a funeral ceremony, and Daiyu herself had just moved out of Jia's house, so it would be a bad idea to ignore her at this moment, so she naturally wanted to visit her.
It is said that since the paper ghost disappeared, Baoyu and Sister Feng have gradually recovered, and today they have begun to meet people, and they can eat a little porridge.
Lin Jiang listened to Daiyu's talk, and the scarlet monk and the lame Taoist also appeared.
It's just that the paper ghosts have been destroyed at this time, and Baoyufeng's life is safe. Although the monk and Taoist priest also said that they will hang up the jade, the Jia family didn't regard them as saviors. Baoyu was hung on the bedside, and then the monk and Taoist priest were sent out together with other real people.
Daiyu sighed again: "This matter probably has something to do with Aunt Zhao in the second uncle's family. When I went today, the third sister hid herself from the crowd and wept. She is doing some needlework, and is planning to tell her to marry her in the next year or so, and she is no longer allowed to be a housekeeper."
Poor Tanchun, who managed the house with Sister Feng for half a year, just touched the doorway and established her prestige, just when she felt that everything was going in a good direction, but was kicked into the pit by Aunt Zhao.
Tanchun pulled Daiyu and cried: "We are also a family, but we are like black-eyed chickens. I wish you could eat me and I will eat you."
She was also very sad: after all, Sister Feng and Baoyu were good relatives to her, and it was the most difficult thing for Aunt Zhao to harm others, and it was the most difficult thing for Tanchun to be caught in it.
That is to say, because of Tanchun's face, Mother Jia was angry again, and did not deal with Aunt Zhao directly, and did not even announce the matter to the public.It's just that Aunt Zhao has a seasonal illness and can pass others. She was afraid of infecting the old lady or girls, so she sent it to Zhuangzi to be raised first, and then brought it back later.
Of course, no one will say when it will be in the future.
Tanchun really didn't even dare to cry in front of people this time, for fear that the servants would comment: "The girl is still crying, but I'm trying to persuade my aunt to do less evil, so I don't have to cry a vat of tears today, who will see it?" Woolen cloth."
Even when Tanchun was crying in the house, Zhou Rui's family would tell her these words directly, making Tanchun tremble with anger.
Daiyu saw that Tanchun's eyes were like peaches, and felt that the third sister was really miserable.
Lin Jiang also felt that Tanchun could be said to be an innocent disaster, and remembered Tanchun's words of grief and indignation: "As long as I am a man, if I can go out, I will leave early and start a career. At that time, I will have my own life." Some truths" also feel sad, Tanchun is a person with ambition, and because he is smart and ambitious, he will be several times more painful than those who follow the crowd.
She had no choice but to comfort Daiyu and said: "Actually, I don't talk about feelings. I just say that Aunt Zhao is a person. It's good to go to Zhuangzi. Go early and have a good life, so I won't do anything in the future and make Tanchun continue to embarrass me. In the end Taijun Bian Shi valued Tanchun, so he didn't point out this matter, and it will be fine after a while."
Daiyu also said: "That's right, when Sister Feng recovers, we'll go and talk about reconciliation, and don't make her blame Third Sister in her heart."
As for Baoyu, the two of them rarely felt that he had a little bit of goodness, that is, he never blamed his sister.Even if he knew that it was Aunt Zhao who harmed him, he might only feel sorry for Tanchun having such a mother-in-law, and would not blame his sister.
Lin Jiang responded: "Well, that's the reason. Let's go when I get back to Xiumu next time. I'm a doctor who comes for follow-up visits. Second Mistress Lian always wants to save face. At that time, I will find a reason to take the third sister over. Let's relax for a few days."
Firstly, it was to relax her mind, and secondly, it was to give her some confidence, so that she would not be bullied by the servants in the mansion over there.
--
Lin Jiang and Daiyu received the reason for Tanchun's coming very quickly, and they didn't need to look for it. It was a happy event—three days later, the imperial decree was issued, and Lin Ruhai was promoted to the second-rank salt inspector Lin Ruhai as the first-rank Rites Shangshu, hand over to Wei Qian, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, within ten days.
When Rongguo Mansion got Xin'er, Jia Mu's worried face of worrying about Baoyu for many days finally disappeared.
"Good thing! Good thing!"
There is no prime minister in this dynasty, but according to the old practice of having six prime ministers in the previous dynasty, these six ministers are the prime ministers in the past.
What's more, Lin Ruhai only knows the year of destiny, and he is not considered an old courtier at all.As long as his wife survives a few years in a normal way, when he gets old and becomes an official, he will be given the honorary title of a genuine "Taifu" and let him retire with honor as an extremely high-ranking official.
This official position has reached such a point, it can be regarded as the end.
When the Rongguo Mansion was the most prominent, although Rongguo Duke had the title of Duke, in terms of official position, he was only a second-rank Jingying Jiedushi and a first-rank general protecting the country, which was already the ceiling of a general.
Ever since Lin Ruhai came back to Beijing, the masters of the Rongguo Mansion have been worried about this matter, fearing that if the Supreme Emperor is gone, Lin Ruhai's official position will also be lost. Now that the dust has finally settled, it can be said that everyone in the Jia family is happy.
At this time, Sister Feng is mostly healed, but she is still a little dizzy, so she got up and accompanied Mrs. Xing to Mother Jia to congratulate her.
Needless to say, Jia pardoned Jia Zheng, they all came to celebrate with Jia's mother, and even Jia Zhen from the East Mansion brought Jia Rong over to rub the joy, her face was full of joy.
It's just that Jia Zheng was a little puzzled: "My brother-in-law was originally from the household department of Yanzheng. Since he was promoted to a minister, why didn't he get promoted to the household department, but went to the Ministry of Rites?"
Hearing what he said, the men of Jia's family looked at each other in blank dismay: This is a serious state affairs, and I don't understand it at all.
It was the time when the two masters of the historian came to congratulate the Jia family, and they solved the doubts for the Jia family. Facing Jia Zheng's question, Zhong Jinghou said: "Among the six departments, the official department is naturally the department of heaven, which is in charge of the dispatch of officials in the world. It is the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, one in charge of military power and the other in charge of wealth."
"As for the importance, it will be the turn of the other three departments later. The Ministry of Rites is considered the most noble department among the six departments. In the past, there were no major issues except for sacrifices and so on."
When Jia She and Jia Zheng heard this, he became anxious, and Jia She asked directly: "Could it be that your majesty doesn't want to trust your brother-in-law, so you don't give it to the Ministry of Households?" Only a noble department?
Think about it too, the country is the same as the family to some extent.In their Jia family, the person in charge of sacrifices is of course also important, but where is the power of the person in charge of finances?
Bao Linghou shook his head and said: "Two years ago, the emperor gave Mr. Lin the title of Minister of Rites, but not the Ministry of Households. Maybe he didn't trust him very much, but this year he gave Mr. Lin the position of Minister of Rites, but he will use it more. "
Seeing both Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng's eagerness for knowledge, the Shijia brothers sighed: How did the Jia family, which was the leader of our four major families, fall into such a state?
If they explained it to Wang Ziteng at this moment, they would definitely not have to talk so much nonsense.
It was because Bao Linghou was older and had a more patient temper, so he explained to the two idiots of the Jia family: "Last month, there was an excerpt from the imperial history, and it was said that the princes are getting older, especially the eldest prince is standing next to him. In the first year, there are groups of children under the knees, and they continue to live in the palace and meet with the aunts every day, which is not suitable for etiquette."
The censors also expressed the thoughts of the ministers: In the past, you didn't care whether your son was a king because you still have the Supreme Emperor, but now the Supreme Emperor has already ruled Bintian, so the matter of the prince leaving the palace to open the mansion is no longer important. Can't delay it.
Since the founding of the dynasty, the princes have been married according to age, and then moved out of the palace.
The emperor's reign was really delayed until now due to special circumstances.
Of course, this wave of requests from the courtiers is also for testing - because there is a prince who does not have to leave the palace, and that is the prince!He has his own East Palace to live in, even if he is 80 years old, he doesn't have to leave the palace.
The proposal of the censors is also to test the emperor, whether he intends to make the eldest son of the concubine the eldest son as the crown prince.
It doesn't matter if it's not the eldest prince, as long as the emperor keeps any older son in the palace, that is the invisible prince.
And the emperor really didn't dismiss this statement this time, he just asked the Ministry of Rites to discuss it in detail.
Before the Ministry of Rites started discussing, there was a major change in personnel affairs.
The emperor's appointment of Lin Ruhai as Minister of Rites at this moment is really important!Next, the titles of the princes are the focus of everyone's attention.
So the historian also rushed to congratulate him, wanting to get close to the newly released Minister of Rites: After all, in terms of relatives, the historian has no direct relatives with the Lin family, and they still have to rely on Jia Mu.
Thinking of this, the two historians also lamented that Mother Jia was really lucky: when she was young, she relied on her husband to become the wife of a first-class country. As for the size, the wealth and honor of a lifetime cannot be escaped.
And Jia She and Jia Zheng heard the two historians, and broke up the political situation that they had analyzed with them, and immediately even his beard was full of joy.
Now I understand, it means that my brother-in-law has gained the emperor's attention after the emperor's favor!
What a happy event!
So when Lin Jiangxiumu came to the door with Daiyu, the Rongguo Mansion was so enthusiastic that the two of them went very smoothly.
After taking a look at Jia Baoyu from Jia's mother, Lin Jiang asked Daiyu to see Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng had been waiting in the room a long time ago, and even prepared refreshments.When they met, they first congratulated Daiyu: "Master Lin is overjoyed!" Then she asked Daiyu when Lin Ruhai would rest, so that she could let Jia Lian come to pay her respects in person.
Seeing her expression, Lin Jiang knew she was cured, and then felt her pulse and said: "Second Mistress is fine, but the housekeeper has been too tired these years, and her foundation has always been wasted. Just take advantage of this good time to make up for it , it’s a blessing in disguise.”
Speaking of disasters, Daiyu and Lin Jiang thought about bringing up Tanchun.
Wang Xifeng was very forthright: "Two sisters, don't worry, I'm not that kind of foolish person. The third sister is a noble lady in the family, and Aunt Zhao is just a concubine from a family. She is called an aunt, but she is actually a servant. She What does it have to do with the third sister?"
Sister Feng has always looked down on Aunt Zhao from the bottom of her heart.
At this time, she poured tea for Lin Jiang herself, and said with a smile: "Besides, the danger of my illness this time was saved by Lin Yuanzheng's action. You two came to intercede for the third sister. There are some pimples, and all of them will disappear now."
Jia's mother thought so too: Although Baoyu is her heart and soul, Tanchun is also her own granddaughter, whom she has always liked.
What's more, everyone can see what kind of person Tanchun is, and knows that she has not been involved in these villain incidents. Jia's mother has no choice but to let her take away her housekeeping power, and she also feels pitiful for Tanchun.
So Daiyu proposed that she would follow her third younger sister to play for a few days, and Mother Jia nodded her head in agreement.
Tanchun did not expect that the two elder sisters Lin would come here to tell her the truth, and knowing that she is in a very embarrassing situation in the mansion, he wanted to pick her up to live in Lin's house for a few days, so he was very grateful, and got into the carriage with tears in his eyes. .
Once out of the main street of Rongguo Mansion, Tanchun heard the rumble of carriages on the street, couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly hugged Daiyu and cried: "Sister Lin..."
Daiyu looked sad and didn't try to persuade her, but just patted her on the shoulder, making Tanchun cry for a while.It's good that people can cry so happily.
Besides, Lin Ruhai's predecessor, Minister of Rites, is not an outsider.
Wei Qian, Lord Wei, is the elder brother of Princess Shao.
The emperor and the king of Shao, that is really a literal "fatal friendship", and they also love the Wei family.This time Mr. Wei was transferred to the household department, and Wei Qian and Lin Ruhai just arranged two courtiers.
Master Wei took the order, tidied up from the Ministry of Rites, and was going to be the boss of the Ministry of Households.
Before leaving, he handed over to Lin Ruhai all the matters related to the entrustment of the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty that he had found out.
Lin Ruhai hurriedly thanked him sincerely: he is familiar with the household department, but he is indeed relatively unfamiliar with the etiquette department.
This is because he was born in a noble family and has been the head of the family for many years, so he is quite familiar with etiquette so that he will not be at a loss.
If you want to change an official with a grassroots imperial examination background, you really can't hold the Ministry of Rites for a while.After all, the officials under the Ministry of Rites also quoted scriptures when they spoke, and they used big gifts to overwhelm people at every turn.
In short, the information Mr. Wei left him was a great help and kindness.
Wei Qian looked at Lin Ruhai and laughed: He is the direct sister of Princess Shao, and the younger sister is Zhou Liheng, an only seedling.
Zhou Liheng's marriage was rough, Master Wei was more anxious than his own sons' marriage troubles.
After all, I have several grandchildren in my arms, and my sister has not yet settled down.
Now, I heard from my wife that the Prince Shao's mansion fell in love with Lin Ruhai's daughter, and Master Wei naturally had a good impression of Lin Ruhai, and he left information for him as if he were his own family. The big family knows the etiquette well.
Lin Ruhai didn't understand at first why Mr. Wei was so kind and supportive to him, and he only thought that Wei Qian was a good person.Later, after I figured out the relationship between the Wei family and Prince Shao's mansion, I realized that the co-author was also to remember my daughter.
No wonder Mr. Wei often showed him a smile of "ask me if you have anything, we are our own family anyway".
It's just that Lin Ruhai also inquired about the son of Shao Wang's mansion since the emperor showed his intention to connect with Shao's mansion and his family.
Lin Ruhai naturally knew about Zhou Liheng's strange history of falling ill after talking about his relationship.
Therefore, Lin Ruhai didn't regard this marriage as a certainty. He was the woman anyway, so he just waited for the man's action.
Lin Ruhai, who had just refused the royal family in front of the emperor, had no fear of Prince Shao's residence.
If the man himself is not a good match, then no kind of family will do!
--
It wasn't until October, a hundred days after the Supreme Emperor, that Shao Wang and his wife brought their son to visit Lin Ruhai formally.
Although the father-in-law always looked at his son-in-law with extremely critical eyes, but Lin Ruhai is human after all, and as a human being, he loves beauty.
So he, like the world, couldn't help being shaken when he saw Zhou Liheng's face.
This looks really... like my son-in-law.
Shao Wang took his son to meet Lin Ruhai in the front yard, specially observing his expression.
Seeing Lin Ruhai's polite but alienated attitude from the beginning, to the moment of astonishment and admiration after seeing Zhou Liheng, and his gradually gentle expression after talking - Shao Wang became more and more confident: Sure enough, he brought his son here That's right!
It's not that King Shao is boasting, he knows that his son is definitely the most sought-after son-in-law in the capital.
Needless to say about her background and appearance, the most rare thing is her gentle and kind temper.
As a biological father, King Shao sometimes felt that his son was too kind and afraid that he would be bullied, but from the perspective of his father-in-law, he would definitely like a son-in-law with an extremely gentle temperament!No one wants their son-in-law to be violent and violent, so what if they are also violent towards their own daughter?
Zhou Liheng's mildness and kindness of healing is what really moved Lin Ruhai.
Her own daughter knew that Lin Ruhai cherished her daughter's talent very much, and couldn't bear to restrain her to be clumsy and introverted like an ordinary girl, blindly keeping her inner house.
But Lin Ruhai also knew that he did not meet the standards of a mainstream daughter-in-law in an aristocratic family by raising his daughter so carefully.
For example, if the awl is in the bag, and at the end of the day, Daiyu's disposition is already like this, it cannot be suppressed for a long time, and she will always reveal her talents and ideas different from other women.
That being the case, Lin Ruhai hoped that his son-in-law would be a gentle and tolerant person in the future, not that arrogant and stubborn young master who demanded a lot from his wife and blindly pursued the husband as his wife.
Even Lin Ruhai could foresee that her daughter's life after marriage would never be happy.
Zhou Liheng's appearance met almost all of Lin Ruhai's requirements for his son-in-law.
If you have to pick a bone in an egg, it is that Zhou Liheng's background is too good. If the young couple quarrels in the future, the Lin family is really no match for the Shao Palace. There is no better way.
It's just that this worry gradually melted into Zhou Liheng's eyes.
Zhou Liheng has a comforting and gentle temperament, not only a piece of beautiful jade, but also a piece of beautiful jade that is warm to the touch, which makes people feel that it is ironic.
When Lin Ruhai came to his senses, he realized that he had actually started to bring Zhou Liheng into the role of son-in-law. He was worried about the future of the young couple, so he couldn't help but startled himself: Why did he give in so quickly?
Princess Shao went into the inner house.
The Lin family has no mistress, there are two girls in total, Lin Jiang is still on duty in the palace, and the Lin family only has Daiyu in the big inner courtyard, after all, it seems a bit lonely at this time.
When Princess Shao saw that Daiyu was a girl's family, she arranged to entertain guests, and she felt more pity in her heart.
But Daiyu didn't know the purpose of Prince Shao's residence at this time, she only visited Prince Shao's residence, and she respected and loved Princess Shao very much in her heart.Therefore, when I saw Princess Shao, I was very kind, and I even took out several kinds of golden silk plums and medicinal fruits that I made with Lin Jiang to invite Princess Shao to eat.
"It's dry in central Beijing, so my sister prepared a lot of recipes for nourishing and nourishing the lungs. We made them ourselves with the people around us. The taste may not be as good as the preserved fruit shops outside, but it's very clean."
As expected, Princess Shao tasted some of everything, and said: "The taste is worse than outside, presumably because the fruit and icing are of the highest quality." Bingtang honey is naturally not as good as the quality in official residences like the Lin family.
Princess Shao didn't see outsiders: "I especially like these plums. Every autumn, I just feel dry and uncomfortable, and sometimes I don't bother to eat. If there are more plums, pack two boxes for me to take away."
Daiyu smiled and asked Xueyan to pack two boxes.
Princess Shao used preserved fruit, wiped her lips with a handkerchief, and then asked Daiyu: "The medical book that Linyuan is publishing, all the compilations in it use aliases, which one is yours?"
In fact, such a thing can be regarded as a secret. Their girls use nicknames to avoid being known.
But when Princess Shao asked, she was naturally different from other people: Princess Shao and Princess Qi Yang had nicknames themselves, and they were the ones who escorted the families of girls like them, so naturally they would not criticize them like many wives outside.
So Daiyu told the truth.
Sure enough, Princess Shao only nodded: "This is a very meritorious thing. Oh, it's ridiculous to say that this book is handed down, if a man is a sage, if the same book is a woman, there will be a lot of gossip. You don't need to pay attention to such people, why don't you give up eating because of choking?"
"Linyuan is shouldering the heavy responsibility of the Taiyuan Hospital, and now he has to be on duty in the palace every day. If you want to organize this medical book into a book, you must help her." Shao Wangfei's eyes were approving: "It really is Mr. Lin. A daughter who was brought up by herself."
She didn't mention Jia Mu, only Lin Ruhai.
Obviously different from the world, I don't think that the loss of the mother and the eldest daughter means less education. As long as the family style is upright and the father is willing to take on the responsibility of educating the children, the children will be fine.
On the contrary, Princess Shao thinks that Daiyu is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and it cannot be taught by Shi Taijun in Rongguo Mansion, who is now only a wealthy and wealthy man—if she can teach a granddaughter like Daiyu in a year, the descendants of the Jia family will not be left behind. It's come to this point.
With such a front courtyard and inner house, the two families met happily.
And Daiyu was smart, and after King Shao's family said goodbye and left, she figured out something was wrong.
Ever since his father returned to Beijing, he had repeatedly mentioned the Prince Shao's Mansion to himself, and asked him how he went to the banquet that day, and he was very concerned.
Especially about Princess Shao's temper, she asked again and again.
At that time, Daiyu was a little puzzled, she just thought that her father was concerned about her, and she was afraid that she would be wronged in the palace.
But today, King Shao came to visit with his family, and Princess Shao came to talk to her alone, and Daiyu suddenly understood something.
So in the evening, Lin Ruhai came over to talk to his daughter, and only said the first sentence: "Today I am watching the son of King Shao for my father, he is a good boy." Daiyu's face turned red.
Looking at Daiyu's expression, Lin Ruhai suddenly had mixed feelings, and all kinds of thoughts came to his mind.
It is extremely difficult for him and Jia Min to have children, and they have no children for many years.So that I finally had the ecstasy of Daiyu, the satisfaction of holding a baby in the swaddle, and the hard work of teaching Daiyu, and then the desolation of her wife passing away and only being dependent on her daughter.
Until today, I have to start choosing a husband for my daughter.
It was only after Lin Jiang returned to the mansion that day that he heard about Bao Bao, that Shao Wang's family came to the door.Lin Jiang couldn't help sighing: Princess Shao and Prince Shao's son are two beauties, she missed them both today, what an unfortunate day.
Bao Bao changed clothes for her, and said with a smile: "I heard from Xueyan that Princess Shao likes the medicinal plums very much, and she brought a box with her when she left."
Lin Jiang was not at home, so Baoshi was naturally guarding in her room, and only listened to it when Xueyan came to pick up the plums.
Lin Jiang said to her: "It's really delicious, but you don't like it, and everyone else likes it."
Gemstone just laughed: She and the girl are very compatible in all aspects, except for one thing, the girl doesn't like too sweet food, and even the fruit prefers sour ones, but Gemstone can't eat sour ones at all.
When she heard the girl say this, she felt very warm in her heart:
