[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor
Chapter 87
In the past, at the Lin family, unless you talked to the chef alone, three meals a day were cooked and delivered by the big kitchen.
Now, there are only Wei Ren and Lin Jiang in the Weifu. They are both professionals who go out to work. They may have to work overtime someday. do it again.
She has a standard Chinese stomach and likes hot water and hot meals.
It's better to be fresh, hot and shiny out of the pan, with a very fragrant pan-flavored stir-fry, rather than the kind of steamed vegetables and steamed bowls that are heated over and over again.
Just now Bao Bao saw Wei Jian returning home, so he withdrew and asked the cooks to prepare dinner.
In the house, while waiting for dinner, Lin Jiang talked to Wei Ren about the news of the two rooms in the Rongguo Mansion, as a pre-dinner refreshment.
Besides, it was only a few days after the Dragon Boat Festival, Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing moved to Rongxi Hall with lightning speed, which shows that Mrs. Jia Zhengwang was not given any chance to delay.
The reason is also that Jia She heard from historians that Prince Teng was going back to Beijing after Dragon Boat Festival, and reported to the emperor that there were tsunamis in two provinces in the south that destroyed villages and so on.
Speaking of which, he is tired enough to check all the nine provinces. When the emperor was annoyed at first, he drove him out of the capital to the northwest with one shot, and then ordered him to visit the southeast. It can be said that the past two years have been bumpy on the way.
At this moment, he was finally able to return to Beijing to rest by reporting back on his official business.
When Jia Amnesty heard this, she became nervous, and Jia's mother finally agreed to exchange the two rooms back. He didn't want to wait for the prince to return to Beijing, and there would be another accident.
So in the past few days, I stood in the main room of Rongxi Hall with my hands behind my back, saying for a while that the big plaque with red gold and green ground should be taken off and re-plated with gold, and then said that the big red sandalwood carving table should be oiled and maintained. After leaving, he just stared to see if Jia Zheng's family had packed their bags. [1]
Jia Zheng is a person who cares about face, and he has always wanted a reputation of filial piety.Now that Mother Jia had spoken, Jia Amnesty wandered around the room every day like he was watching a thief. Jia Zheng didn't delay any longer, but let the servants tidy up their things with a long sigh, and resigned to their fate to live in the east courtyard.
Mrs. Wang wanted to procrastinate, but it was no different than Jia She and Jia Zheng, they were still brothers, after all, there was some flesh and blood.
The discord between her and Mrs. Xing's sister-in-law is simply common sense in the whole family.Mrs. Xing can do such a great thing, it's no wonder Mrs. Wang lost the chain.
Mrs. Xing's pursuit of life is not only money, but also to live in this Rongxi hall, and to arrange the money of Mrs. Yipin General in this Rongguo Mansion.
In the past, she was always aggrieved: Ming Jia pardoned her, and her imperial order also ranked first rank, which is rare in the imperial court.But in the mansion, everything is behind Mrs. Wang's five-rank edict.
Jia's family held banquets to receive relatives and friends like the four princes and eight princes, and Jia's mother mostly asked Mrs. Wang to take care of it.
This matter was as sad as hanging Mrs. Xing upside down. Every time she felt brain congested and blushed in front of others, she felt that outsiders were laughing at her.Returning to Rongxi Hall now gives her the joy of walking upright.
According to Sister Feng's official statistics: In the past ten days, she has seen more smiles on Mrs. Xing's face than in the past few years.
And the fans that Sister Feng gave Lin Jiang this time are also very particular.
After all, her father-in-law, Jia She, is a well-known fan expert, and has a very high attainment in fan research.
I heard that Sister Feng was going to send fans to General Wei and Lin Yuanzheng. Originally, Jia Amnesty had to bear the pain to part with him and donate a few of his own treasures. Later, Sister Feng told that Lin Yuan was a fan-throwing madman, and General Wei was For those who hold more knives than fans, Jia She quickly dismissed the idea.
It's not good for Mingzhu to cast secretly.
So Jia Amnesty just showed his eyes and helped to choose some fans with good bones and exquisite workmanship, which are fashionable this year, but they are not calligraphy and painting fans of famous masters.Jia She stroked his beard and said, "This kind of fan looks good in hand, and it doesn't hurt to lose it."
Sure enough, when Sister Feng delivered it, Lin Jiang really liked it.
Moreover, most of the fans sent by Sister Feng are elegant folding fans, not the round fans commonly used by her daughter's family, which is convenient for her to match with official clothes.
--
Lin Jiang originally heard the news from Sister Feng that Wang Ziteng was coming back, and thought that Wei Ren would start working overtime.
Seeing that he was calm and relaxed today, and came home from get off work on time, I knew he was prepared.
So after she picked out a fan, she said with a smile: "Be prepared, and when the legendary Lord Wang comes back, you must look at him with vigor. Then take advantage of nothing today, and tomorrow I will pay you back." Xiu Mu, let's have a drink or two?"
Wei Ren's eyes lit up immediately: the experience of the wedding night told her that Lin Jiang, who drank alcohol, would have a secondary personality that is good at being a teacher.
He just loves that personality so much.
It's a pity that Lin Jiang is a doctor himself, and he focuses on health preservation. Most of his drinks are for two drinks, and he rarely drinks in large quantities.
The meaning of hearing this today is that I want to have a good drink.
Wei Ren immediately said: "There are still two barrels of the amber wine given by the Queen of Qianxiang Kingdom."
This kind of wine, which is a special product of Qianxiang country, has a rich and sweet fruity aroma and is like amber in color. It is made from a kind of fruit called 'golden berry' mixed with grain in the country.After brewing, it is packed in wooden barrels made of special local wood, which has a special flavor.
The most wonderful thing is that the taste of this amber wine is different according to the age of storage.Younger wines tend to be sweeter, while older wines tend to be mellower.
On that day, the Queen of Qianxiang Kingdom visited Dazhou, and she brought dozens of barrels of amber wine on board, most of which were given to the emperor, and were very welcomed by the royal family of Dazhou.
The emperor also instructed Lin Changzhou individually for this wine, that he must also add this wine to the purchase list, and bring back more in the coming year.
Lin Jiang took a new fan and fanned it back and forth, thinking for a while: "If you drink amber wine, you won't have the usual lo mei as an appetizer."
Wei Ren stood up: "What do you want to eat? I'll ask the cook to make it. If you don't have any at home, you can go to Yuhuatai to buy it."
As one of the best restaurants in Beijing, Yuhuatai's banquet dishes may not be the most outstanding, but the appetizers are definitely the most comprehensive and the best.
Lin Jiang shook his head: "You don't need to buy it. Yuhuatai doesn't have the one I want to eat—I want to eat squid tendrils on iron plate. Well, let's have another fried with salt and pepper. The flavor is different."
Wei Ren showed an incomprehensible look when he heard it: "It was sent back with the letter from the father-in-law. Is it that kind of fish with many claws? It looks weird. Do you want to eat that?"
As a native of the inland, Wei Ren, like many aristocratic families in the capital, only eats a few kinds of fish, and he is a little bit insensitive to the strange-looking squid.
Lin Jiang only urged him to go to the kitchen: "I told Chef Li how to cook grilled squid on a iron plate before, not to mention frying it, it is her unique skill. You just go, you will know when you try it."
Wei Ren had reservations about this, and when he went to cook, in addition to asking Lin Jiang's "squid for two meals", he also asked the cook to serve him some normal braised meat.
It wasn't until he tasted squid that Wei Ren became a squid party.
The fried squid is crispy on the outside and has tough squid tendrils on the inside, as well as the fat squid slices with the aroma of grilling on the iron plate, brushed with salty and fresh sauce, and paired with fruity, bright and sweet amber wine, it is a perfect match.
After Gemstone set the table, she turned her head and stayed in her own room: the girl was drinking with the uncle, and it would be best for her to run away early.
Only Maomao was lying on the table, sniffing around, pawing the legs of the two of them from time to time, trying to get some food.
Seeing its pitiful barking, Wei Ren wanted to feed it a mouthful of stewed beef, but Lin Jiang stopped it.This stewed beef is still too salty, so I still only feed it minced meat made from a mixture of chicken and fish.
That night, Wei Ren and Lin Jiang drank to their heart's content, feeling that the day was very sweet and beautiful.
And it was also that night, a prince Teng who felt that life was not good arrived in the capital.
It is definitely not a short distance from the southeast of Dazhou to the capital, but after walking such a long distance, Wang Ziteng has not forgotten his original intention, and still has the anger of arguing with Lin Changzhou in his stomach.As a result, the speed along the way was much faster, and I arrived at the boundary of the capital two days earlier.
Besides, Lin Changzhou is a system that has experienced the world after all, he feels that the conflict with Wang Ziteng is only mediocre.No knife or gun was used, so it was not a big dispute.
But if it falls on the proud and arrogant Wang Ziteng, it will really explode.
He was swept away by Lin Changzhou in the matter of shipping before, but it was a matter between the two of them in private.
This time, in front of many local grassroots officials, Wang Ziteng, as the inspector of the nine provinces, was rejected by Lin Changzhou calmly and firmly, which can be described as a new experience.
The officials nearby all lowered their heads at that time, and even wished to retract their heads into their chests, for fear of being swept away by the tail of the typhoon.
Wang Ziteng really hasn't experienced this kind of experience of being unable to come to the stage in public for many years.
In the end, Lin Changzhou was different from Beijing Central, and even all the officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He didn't care about the euphemisms in the officialdom and how to save face.
He usually weighs it, as long as this person can offend the host and will not have any impact on the host, he doesn't care if the other party comes to Taiwan or not, he will simply give a 'no' word.
And his demeanor was too indifferent and natural, as if he had put on a layer of 'taunt buff', making the other party feel the anger of being despised.
This was the case with Wang Ziteng: half of the anger in his stomach was angered by Lin Changzhou's actions, and the other half was angered by his attitude.
The calm look in his eyes seemed to say that he, a first-rank official, was nothing in Lin Changzhou's eyes.
Wang Ziteng has never been wronged like this since he was a child!
Although he is a capable official, he also has the common problem of the four major families and the heroes of the founding of the country: I have status, and everyone should give me my face.
Glorious old dreams are always difficult to wake up from.
Wang Ziteng came to the capital with this kind of anger, ready to contact relatives and old friends, and participate in Lin Changzhou's book.And he had just returned home, after washing off the smoke and dust, he heard new news.
"What? The eldest sister and brother-in-law moved out of Rongxi Hall? But Jia She's family moved in?"
Mrs. Wang Ziteng's wife, Mrs. Han, has been staying in the capital, and she knows the affairs of Rongguo Mansion quite well. At this time, while helping Wang Ziteng change his clothes, she started talking about it as gossip.
She really just watched the excitement: She likes Sister Feng better than Mrs. Wang, the sister-in-law.
Anyway, there is no blood relationship, and Sister Feng is undoubtedly much more likable than Mrs. Wang.
But it's different for Wang Ziteng. The sister who grew up together when he was a child has a completely different relationship with a niece who only meets during the holidays.
"Shi Taijun actually agrees?"
Mrs. Han nodded: "Master is not in the capital. I don't know that there is a big incident in the Ningguo Mansion over there, but it is scary. The master also passed through the chaos in the mansion. It is normal, but it happened during the filial piety period, and asked Yushi to impeach it." Yes. The emperor even took away the title, which shows how annoyed he is. Recently, Shi Taijun only pretends to be sick, and refuses to go out or see guests."
Wang Ziteng understood the cause and effect as soon as he connected the cause and effect, and put a cup of tea heavily on the coffee table: "Presumably the eldest son of the mansion will take advantage of this to force his brother-in-law to move out! Shi Taijun is afraid that the two families will quarrel again, and the quarrel will lead to Lianrong in front of the imperial court." The state government is also going to suffer, so it has no choice but to give in—at such an opportunity, how can a drunken and foolish person like Dafang She be able to catch it? It must be Lin Ruhai's idea!"
Poor Lin Ruhai, who sits at home and the pot comes from the sky.
If Jia Amnesty wanted to know, he would have to be angry: Why, don't I deserve dreams?
Seeing that Wang Ziteng was furious, Mrs. Han was surprised: "My lord, Brother Feng is not an outsider either. Whoever lives in Rongxi Hall as the first and second bedroom, let them go."
Wang Ziteng didn't have the nerve to tell his wife that Lin Changzhou vomited blood in the south, so he just sneered and said, "Madam sees that Brother Feng is not an outsider, but she doesn't know that she sees our house as an outsider, and the Lin family is a serious relative. That's fine, I know about this, and I will make up my own mind in the future.”
Seeing that Wang Ziteng's words were inconsequential, and that he wanted to go against the Lin family, Mrs. Han hurriedly persuaded, "Master, it's so easy to go back to Beijing, why bother to make trouble with the Lin family. After all, Lin Shangshu is six books, and they are written every day. The person in front of the imperial court is married to a family like Prince Shao's, we should go to make peace, why bother to embarrass others?"
Wang Ziteng thumped the table: "They are going to eat me if you are still in harmony with others! Do you want me to wash myself and serve it on the table so that people can eat it? You don't need to mention it with the knowledge of a woman like you!"
Han Shi has been married to him for many years, and he also knows his temperament, he is a person who refuses to bow his head and give in, and always needs others to flatter and support him.
So Mrs. Han didn't dare to persuade her anymore, she could only say something else to divert Wang Ziteng's mind: "Master, I don't care about the big things outside, but my daughter must take care of it."
"Master finally went back to Beijing, either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, if the daughter and son-in-law must come to the door, why shouldn't the master take care of the delicate customers first?"
Thinking about waiting for her daughter and son-in-law to come, it would be good to persuade Wang Ziteng.After all, her son-in-law is not an ordinary person, but the king of Sujun, who is also a relative of the emperor.
Since the daughter is a princess, speaking out will definitely be more effective than speaking by herself.
Unexpectedly, things in this world, for the Han family, really backfired.
After Wang Qingluan returned to her natal family, instead of persuading her father, she brought oil barrels to add fuel to the fire.
The relationship between father and daughter is good, Wang Ziteng naturally wants to avoid his son-in-law, and ask his daughter in private if her life is happy after marriage?Seeing that he was not always in Beijing, Prince Besu's mansion treated his daughter poorly.
Unexpectedly, Wang Qingluan only briefly talked about her married life, and then talked about "major affairs in the court" with her father.
Besides, in the past, Wang Ziteng and the imperial concubine's natal family Wu's family were relatively close. After all, although the Wu family was not four kings and eight princes, they were also officials promoted by the Supreme Emperor, and Wang Ziteng naturally had a bit of a sweet relationship with Wang Ziteng.
And after Wang Qingluan became the concubine of Sujun, she had to go to the palace during the New Year's Eve, so naturally she slowly started to walk around with the concubine.
In the past six months, the imperial concubine has been suffering from loss of favor.
Seeing that Wang Qingluan was getting close to her, she had the intention of wooing her, and even hinted to Wang Qingluan: Shao Wangfu and Lin's family probably both wanted to support the fifth prince.
The imperial concubine of course wanted to win over the old ministers of the Supreme Emperor headed by Wang Ziteng, so as to strengthen the momentum for the Tenth Prince in the future.
This time Wang Qingluan came to tell his father about this important event.
Hearing this, Wang Ziteng frowned and thought for a moment: "It's too early to stand as the crown prince." Wang Qingluan knew that his father was not in the capital, and he could learn about major events in the court through the mansion newspaper, but not many small things.
He hurriedly married Wei Yan and Lin Jiang. It was a marriage letter written by the fifth prince himself. Zhou Liheng went to Prince Heng's mansion for a short stay during the Chinese New Year. ? In terms of background, what does Prince Heng compare to the ten princes? It means that he became the king, and his mother just raised a concubine from the nobleman."
Wang Ziteng asked his daughter: "The noble concubine is planning for the ten princes...how does King Sujun think about this?"
Wang Qingluan said dissatisfied: "He is the most timid one. If I have an idea, I will come back and talk to my father in such a hurry?"
Among the emperor's brothers, Su Wang was the first to surrender, throwing his title to his son and running away. The new Su Jun Wang is not an ambitious person either.
Hearing from his wife that he wanted to make friends with the imperial concubine and concubine, and to hold ten princes in the future, King Su Jun waved his hands again and again.His father was why the prince couldn't do it, so he had to go to the temple to squat, and it wasn't because he wanted to get involved in the matter of the throne.
King Sujun really didn't want to get involved in it anymore, and angered his uncle Huang.
He is resigned to his fate, but Wang Qingluan, who was brought up by Wang Ziteng as a concubine, has ambitions.
The system she was educated in when she was a child was to be a concubine and assist her husband, with the ultimate goal of being a queen.
It's a pity that the emperor didn't choose her to be his daughter-in-law, which left her with no hope at all.
With her temperament, since she became a princess, she would not want to be an unknown princess like Princess Zhongshun. If she wanted to, she would be a glorious and respectable princess like Princess Shao, who is flattered by everyone in Beijing!
Why is King Shao so powerful?It's nothing more than the fact that during the years when the Supreme Emperor was there, he chose the emperor early to follow him all the way.
As long as the Sujun Palace also selects the crown prince, it will be the future Shaowang Palace.
Of course, Wang Qingluan asked her father to help her in such a matter. In her heart, her father was still a courtier with a high position and power, who could protect her and bring her glory.
In the four kings and eight kilometers, her royal family is not the highest in terms of title, but in the past because of her father's face, everyone gave her a bit in the small feasts of the girls of these families.
Seeing that Wang Ziteng just pondered and didn't agree to himself, Wang Qingluan couldn't help but said in frustration: "Father, I will be Princess Shao in the future, but the girl from the Lin family. My daughter knows that my father has always disliked the Lin family. Do you want to see the girl from the Lin family compare me to me everywhere in the future?" Qiang, do people in Beijing respect her first, and then me?"
Mainly in terms of seniority, Wang Qingluan is still a seniority lower, so I really have to go back and greet him first.
It has to be said that Wang Qingluan's words successfully hit Wang Ziteng's recent hot spot.
He was angry about the Lin family's affairs, and Ben also wanted to trouble Lin Changzhou.
At this moment, he made a decision: as long as he makes a move, he must confront the Lin family, so it is impossible for him to be friendly with Prince Shao's mansion.That being the case, it would be better to join hands with the imperial concubine to save the family from being weak.
After seeing off his daughter and son-in-law, Wang Ziteng locked himself in the study and started to sort out from scratch.
He suddenly remembered the time when Lin Ruhai was transferred back to the capital after the emperor's funeral.
At that time, I actually felt that Lin Ruhai had the same illness and sympathy with Lin Ruhai, and was dismissed from his original post because he was an old minister of the Supreme Emperor.One is not allowed to be the military governor of the Beijing camp, and the other is not allowed to be the censor of salt inspection.
Unexpectedly, I was kicked out of the capital by the emperor, so I had to wander around, but Lin Ruhai actually stayed in the capital and entered the sixth department!
Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng felt that he was an idiot who had the same illness as Lin Ruhai at that time, and a feeling of grief and anger welled up in his heart.
Since you can't be kind, let's fight.
The Lin family can't just let it go if they cut his face like this.
On the second day, Lin Jiang was woken up by a cat.
For Lin Jiang, the cat in Huangfu Jingcheng has a bit of Stockholm syndrome.Originally, I wasn't its favorite master, probably because there was always a trace of medicinal herbs lingering around me, so it didn't take the initiative to be close to it.
However, ever since Lin Jiang picked it up and dropped it with a knife, he has become very sticky to Lin Jiang.
Even if it is closed in the outside room, as long as the door is opened a little, it will get in and lean against Lin Jiang, its warm little body sticks to Lin Jiang as much as possible, and then closes its eyes and falls asleep in peace.
Lin Jiang thought: This is probably a deformed love.
Fortunately, they are all house cats. Since they were neutered, they don't like to go out. They only move around in the three rooms, and rarely go to the yard to climb the walls of the house.
So even the claws are not dirty, and it doesn't matter if you jump on the bed.
Lin Jiang also bought it internal and external insect repellent from the system to clean it up.Speaking of which, the medicine Lin Jiang bought from the system for himself was not as much as for cats.
It's just that Huangfu Cat became more plump after being neutered. Although it jumped on the bed carefully to avoid stepping on Lin Jiang, the aftershock it jumped on was enough to wake Lin Jiang up.
Opening his eyes, Lin Jiang smiled when he saw a cat's face like a huge disc, and held it in his arms.
The cat is such a cute animal, it doesn't have any smell, it's like a clean cotton cloth.
"Miss, would you like some sweet soup or milk porridge? Did you have a headache after drinking yesterday?" Baoshi came in and asked softly when he heard the movement inside.
Lin Jiang shook her head, planning to stay in bed on the rare holiday.
Before going back to bed, ask Gem: "Is there anything wrong at home?"
Baoshi replied: "There is one thing. The second grandma Lian of Rongguo Mansion sent someone to deliver new fruits from the garden, and brought a letter by the way, saying that Mr. Wang has arrived in the capital."
Lin Jiang opened his eyes.
Her eyes lingered on the tent for a while, then she smiled lightly: "Let them fight the battle between men themselves."
Wang Ziteng might pick on Lin Ruhai, and might cause trouble for Wei Ren in the Beijing camp, but his hand cannot reach the Tai Hospital.
In other words, no one can shake Lin Jiang's foundation in Tai Hospital.
So this is destined to be a battle between men. The Lin family has Lin Ruhai in papers, and Wei Ren can also pick Wang Ziteng in martial arts.
She didn't worry about it, at most she would play support.
"I'll sleep a little longer." Lin Jiang stuffed the cat under the quilt, ready to sleep back together.
Gemstone also withdrew and closed the door softly: The girl has a rare rest and doesn't want to get up, so let's take a good rest.
In the room, Lin Jiang turned over and didn't go to sleep directly, but the advanced system.
Since it's an eventful time, it's never wrong to make more preparations.
It just so happens that I haven’t gone to the store on the sixth floor to open a blind box for a while, so I’m going to spend some fun today, and it’s best to find something unexpected.
After all, her personal version of the fifth-floor store was standard in the ancient world.
And like the other world system store goods she had drawn before, I feel that they are all products that can have unexpected effects after being used well.
Lin Jiang went directly to open the Diamond Astral Blind Box.
[-] prestige points once, even though Lin Jiang has a lot of prestige points now, every time he draws it, he has to feel distressed.
In consciousness, she reached out and picked off the stars one by one.
A total of five diamonds were picked, and after settling [-] reputation points, Lin Jiang opened all five diamond blind boxes in one go.
One of them caught her attention.
[A magical flower]: "As the most famous and mysterious genius doctor in the Jianghu, Tianfeng's internal strength is unfathomable. He played Shaolin in the north and Wudang in the south. There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that his internal strength is not due to his hard work, but his practice. Made a pill to increase internal strength. So after his death, the legacy he left behind became one piece, which has attracted countless heroes from all over the world."
"Actually, Tianfeng just planted a kind of flower."
Lin Jiang looked at this secondary setting that mixed martial arts and One Piece in silence.She has already discovered that the product notes in the system are different, some are concise and direct to point out the effect, and some give you a paragraph of fancy and specious words.
Lin Jiang also had to go to the customer service to verify the true efficacy of this flower.
To do so also pay 0.5 reputation points.
And the vip customer service of the system saw that she was heartbroken for the 0.5 prestige value, and when he read the appraisal report to her, his voice could not help but choke: This is really too economical.
After the official identification of the system store, Lin Jiang confirmed that the effect of this flower is really good, it can condense internal force, especially positive internal force.
Just such a small flower, bearing the internal breath of ten years of penance.
When Wei Ren came home that night, he saw Lin Jiang serving a salad with Tian Qi: "Eat it, I made it myself."
She really seldom cooks, so even if it was just a cold dish, Wei Ren ate it all.
After eating, Lin Jiang looked at him with his chin in his hands: "How is it?"
Wei Ren nodded: "It's delicious." He is a martial arts practitioner, and he usually likes to eat meat, but once in a while, he thinks it's good to eat such a refreshing cold salad.What's more, there are still fresh and tender raw walnuts inside, with a crispy fragrance.
Lin Jiang: "Aside from being delicious? Do you have any other feelings?"
Wei Ren shook his head.
Lin Jiang: I mixed [a miraculous flower] into it for you, not to mention that the petals and even the roots were not wasted, how could you not feel it?
The five hundred and five hundred prestige points were thrown down, could it be in vain?
It was the VIP customer service of the system store who took the initiative to explain to her: In order to prevent too much internal energy from being poured into the inner body and damage the meridians of the human body, for the people of the non-wuxia world, the empowerment model of the martial arts world will not be adopted, and the internal energy will be paid in installments. Works slowly over a year.
Lin Jiang was relieved: the prestige value was not in vain, and praised the system store for its considerate and humanized service.
Seeing her resting her chin and keeping silent, Wei Ren thought it was because he was not enthusiastic enough to praise his wife's cooking skills, so he rearranged his vocabulary and praised a plate of cold salad with Tianqi to such an extent that Zhu Yuanzhang praised cabbage tofu soup as pearls and emeralds Bai Yutang's posture.
And Lin Jianggang finished communicating with the system in his mind, and when he woke up, he looked at Wei Ren with a somewhat dazed expression: Huh?Were you talking just now?
Wei Ren also smiled: "You have an epiphany again?"
Long before getting married, Wei Ren discovered that sometimes Lin Jiang would be in a daze by himself, as if he had fallen into another world. He was worried about this, for fear that Lin Jiang was too tired to look like this Lost in a daze.
After getting married, Wei Ren even asked about it with special concern.
Lin Jiang explained to him with fantasy reasons: "When you practice martial arts, you will have epiphanies, right? I also have. Many times, I just suddenly figured out a little bit of medicine. At this time, don't worry about me, let alone wake me up. I."
As a martial artist, Wei Ren understood the epiphany very well.
"Let's not talk about me now." Lin Jiang looked at Wei Ren: "Did you know that Wang Ziteng arrived in the capital two days ago?"
Wei Ren nodded.
Lin Jiang couldn't help but concerned: "It's only been half a year since you took over the Beijing camp. It's not as familiar as he was in charge of it for more than ten years."
Besides, Wang Ziteng took over the Beijing camp from Jia Daishan, so it was completely handed over from his own family.
At that time, even if Jia Daishan's old department would not directly rely on Wang Ziteng, it would not stumbling him.The four big families are always regarded as one when they are outside, not to mention that Jia Daishan fell ill or died suddenly. In addition to asking for an official for his son Jia Zheng, he naturally also made way for the successor prince.
It can be said that Wang Ziteng took over the management of the Beijing camp without much effort.
But Wei Ren is different, he was the envoy of the Beijing camp, he was originally appointed by the emperor as an exception, and he was airborne, and there are many forces in the Beijing camp that grouped together to resist him.
They have established their own interest groups over the years, relying on many unknown means to obtain money and official positions, so naturally they don't want to be interrupted by the new boss.
For those of them who are old in the Beijing camp, they are local snakes. As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake. If you are a dragon, you have to coil up first when you get here!
That's why Lin Jiang asked: "Everything will go smoothly in the Beijing camp, so don't let Wang Ziteng catch you."
Wei Ren said: "You don't have to worry, Wang Ziteng will definitely catch me."
At first, Lin Jiang just said casually: "Oh, it's good if you can catch it... Wait, you said you can catch it?"
A little smile appeared in Wei Ren's eyes: "I have only taken over the Beijing camp for half a year after all, and the four major camps are deeply intertwined. Even if I straighten things out on the surface, it is far from meeting His Majesty's expectations and being able to fully grasp these four camps. Four battalions."
"Since it is impossible to be impeccable, instead of letting someone find a loophole that I have not prepared for, it is better to leave the prince with an excuse that I have prepared for a long time."
Wei Ren picked up the teapot and added some new water to Lin Jiang: "This is called...you taught me that word, fishing law enforcement."
Wei Ren's preparation for fishing to enforce the law was inspired by the emperor sending the eldest prince to the south of the Yangtze River as bait.
At that time, Lin Jiang said that the emperor was fishing to enforce the law. Wei Ren had never heard of this term. Lin Jiang explained it to Wei Ren alone, which left a deep impression on him.
Since Wang Ziteng came back aggressively, give him a reason to attack.
Lin Jiang was in high spirits: "Since you're going to fish, what's your bait? Tell me."
Wei Ren started talking to her from the beginning.
--
Besides, several decades ago, Jia Daishan was also an outstanding representative of youth and promise. He took over the important position of the Beijing Camp Jiedushi at the age of 30, and he was still doing well.
At that time, Da Zhou also had several foreign campaigns.
Since there are wars, the price of this grain fluctuates greatly. The amount of grain that can be bought with the same money varies greatly.
Jia Daishan and the Supreme Emperor are young monarchs and ministers, and they have always had a good relationship.
When Jia Daishan noticed this, he appealed to the Supreme Emperor, asking him to pay the soldiers not only silver and copper coins, but half the silver and half the food.
For example, if the salary is ten taels, it is determined to pay five taels of silver, one stone and a half rice - this will ensure that even if the price of food rises sharply, the soldiers will not be worried and dissatisfied because they cannot afford rice noodles at home. After all, appeasing soldiers in wartime is the most important thing of.
The Supreme Emperor agreed to this method of distributing military salaries.
Looking at it at the time, Jia Daishan's approach was impeccable.But the problem is that there is no permanent law in the world. As time passed, the Great Zhou Dynasty had not waged war for 20 years, and the price of rice became increasingly stable. Such a measure of distributing food has become a way of corruption.
After all, if you want to distribute food, you must first buy food from the people, and then distribute it to the soldiers according to the amount.
Between buying and selling, there is a lot of room for maneuvering; because the imperial court buys grain, or buys it in large quantities and stably, and distributes it to the army, the rice line naturally dare not raise the price, and generally sell it at a higher price than the market. [-]% cheaper.
The compradors in the military camp bought milled rice at a low price, added [-]% of the price when they resold it, and then sold the milled rice at a high price to make a profit.
That's not all, they will take out a small part of the money to buy the most inferior old rice, and then distribute it to ordinary soldiers according to the amount of one stone and a half per person.
In this way, the empty-handed white wolf makes money at both ends, and the compradors make a lot of money, and only ordinary soldiers suffer.The Lumi they received was almost all old rice that was difficult to swallow, and even some moldy rice. Even if it was used to feed chickens and ducks, the small animals would not be able to bear it, and would die from eating it. .
Many people whose families were able to get by threw away the old rice, but those who were extremely poor had no choice but to eat bravely, and they were lucky if they didn't die.
There is nothing they can do.
Those who do this kind of thing are old fritters in the Beijing camp, and they have managed it from top to bottom.Ordinary soldiers have no way to ask for help. Not only will they not get the Lumi they deserve, but they will also cause trouble for themselves.
After a long time, after the formation of a rule, the soldiers had no choice but to admit that they were unlucky, and their salary was only five taels of silver.
When Wei Ren told Lin Jiang about this matter, Lin Jiang said with emotion that where there are people, there is corruption.
It was the same when I lived in Rongguo Mansion.I heard from Tanchun that the girls in the Rongguo Mansion gave them two taels of silver every month to buy rouge and gouache, and another two taels of silver was reserved for the girls to use flexibly.But those compradors took the money, and the rouge and gouache they got were all second-rate goods.The girls of Rongguo Mansion have to use their own money to ask people to buy these household items. [2]
Later, when Tanchun helped Sister Feng's housekeeper, he mentioned this matter to Sister Feng and exempted this item.
"It can be seen that there is nothing new under the sun." Lin Jiang couldn't help but read a sentence from the "Bible".Everywhere, the greedy heart is the same.
And this kind of long-standing malpractice, after Wei Ren took office, calculated the accounts and visited the soldiers below, he told the emperor: the Beijing camp does not need to be converted into two grains in silver during non-war times, and it is enough to directly distribute silver and copper coins to the soldiers.
Listening to his statement of the pros and cons, the emperor naturally approved it.
It can be said that Wei Ren's move made most of the soldiers extremely happy, and felt that their salaries had doubled.And for the court, there is no loss, after all, the military pay is so much.
The only people suffering are the compradors who profit from it, and the upper-level bureaucrats who are supported by their money.
"Since I took over the Beijing camp, I have been doing it slowly. It is really a drastic change to the old practice, only this one item of payment. Naturally, the people in charge of food procurement in the army complained about me the most, and they were most likely to connect with Wang Ziteng. "
"It's the easiest way to find witnesses, and it's also the most embarrassing for me."
Wei Ren not only counted Wang Ziteng's behavior, but also counted his temper.
Maybe there are other things to criticize him for, but Wang Ziteng's character will definitely choose the one that hurts the most in the face to take revenge.
Wei Ren only changed this one major measure, so Wang Ziteng wanted him to make a fool of himself in order to be happy!
Wei Ren left this opportunity for him.
"So, what mistake did you make?" Lin Jiang asked with a smile: "It won't affect my downgrade."
Wei Ren also
Now, there are only Wei Ren and Lin Jiang in the Weifu. They are both professionals who go out to work. They may have to work overtime someday. do it again.
She has a standard Chinese stomach and likes hot water and hot meals.
It's better to be fresh, hot and shiny out of the pan, with a very fragrant pan-flavored stir-fry, rather than the kind of steamed vegetables and steamed bowls that are heated over and over again.
Just now Bao Bao saw Wei Jian returning home, so he withdrew and asked the cooks to prepare dinner.
In the house, while waiting for dinner, Lin Jiang talked to Wei Ren about the news of the two rooms in the Rongguo Mansion, as a pre-dinner refreshment.
Besides, it was only a few days after the Dragon Boat Festival, Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing moved to Rongxi Hall with lightning speed, which shows that Mrs. Jia Zhengwang was not given any chance to delay.
The reason is also that Jia She heard from historians that Prince Teng was going back to Beijing after Dragon Boat Festival, and reported to the emperor that there were tsunamis in two provinces in the south that destroyed villages and so on.
Speaking of which, he is tired enough to check all the nine provinces. When the emperor was annoyed at first, he drove him out of the capital to the northwest with one shot, and then ordered him to visit the southeast. It can be said that the past two years have been bumpy on the way.
At this moment, he was finally able to return to Beijing to rest by reporting back on his official business.
When Jia Amnesty heard this, she became nervous, and Jia's mother finally agreed to exchange the two rooms back. He didn't want to wait for the prince to return to Beijing, and there would be another accident.
So in the past few days, I stood in the main room of Rongxi Hall with my hands behind my back, saying for a while that the big plaque with red gold and green ground should be taken off and re-plated with gold, and then said that the big red sandalwood carving table should be oiled and maintained. After leaving, he just stared to see if Jia Zheng's family had packed their bags. [1]
Jia Zheng is a person who cares about face, and he has always wanted a reputation of filial piety.Now that Mother Jia had spoken, Jia Amnesty wandered around the room every day like he was watching a thief. Jia Zheng didn't delay any longer, but let the servants tidy up their things with a long sigh, and resigned to their fate to live in the east courtyard.
Mrs. Wang wanted to procrastinate, but it was no different than Jia She and Jia Zheng, they were still brothers, after all, there was some flesh and blood.
The discord between her and Mrs. Xing's sister-in-law is simply common sense in the whole family.Mrs. Xing can do such a great thing, it's no wonder Mrs. Wang lost the chain.
Mrs. Xing's pursuit of life is not only money, but also to live in this Rongxi hall, and to arrange the money of Mrs. Yipin General in this Rongguo Mansion.
In the past, she was always aggrieved: Ming Jia pardoned her, and her imperial order also ranked first rank, which is rare in the imperial court.But in the mansion, everything is behind Mrs. Wang's five-rank edict.
Jia's family held banquets to receive relatives and friends like the four princes and eight princes, and Jia's mother mostly asked Mrs. Wang to take care of it.
This matter was as sad as hanging Mrs. Xing upside down. Every time she felt brain congested and blushed in front of others, she felt that outsiders were laughing at her.Returning to Rongxi Hall now gives her the joy of walking upright.
According to Sister Feng's official statistics: In the past ten days, she has seen more smiles on Mrs. Xing's face than in the past few years.
And the fans that Sister Feng gave Lin Jiang this time are also very particular.
After all, her father-in-law, Jia She, is a well-known fan expert, and has a very high attainment in fan research.
I heard that Sister Feng was going to send fans to General Wei and Lin Yuanzheng. Originally, Jia Amnesty had to bear the pain to part with him and donate a few of his own treasures. Later, Sister Feng told that Lin Yuan was a fan-throwing madman, and General Wei was For those who hold more knives than fans, Jia She quickly dismissed the idea.
It's not good for Mingzhu to cast secretly.
So Jia Amnesty just showed his eyes and helped to choose some fans with good bones and exquisite workmanship, which are fashionable this year, but they are not calligraphy and painting fans of famous masters.Jia She stroked his beard and said, "This kind of fan looks good in hand, and it doesn't hurt to lose it."
Sure enough, when Sister Feng delivered it, Lin Jiang really liked it.
Moreover, most of the fans sent by Sister Feng are elegant folding fans, not the round fans commonly used by her daughter's family, which is convenient for her to match with official clothes.
--
Lin Jiang originally heard the news from Sister Feng that Wang Ziteng was coming back, and thought that Wei Ren would start working overtime.
Seeing that he was calm and relaxed today, and came home from get off work on time, I knew he was prepared.
So after she picked out a fan, she said with a smile: "Be prepared, and when the legendary Lord Wang comes back, you must look at him with vigor. Then take advantage of nothing today, and tomorrow I will pay you back." Xiu Mu, let's have a drink or two?"
Wei Ren's eyes lit up immediately: the experience of the wedding night told her that Lin Jiang, who drank alcohol, would have a secondary personality that is good at being a teacher.
He just loves that personality so much.
It's a pity that Lin Jiang is a doctor himself, and he focuses on health preservation. Most of his drinks are for two drinks, and he rarely drinks in large quantities.
The meaning of hearing this today is that I want to have a good drink.
Wei Ren immediately said: "There are still two barrels of the amber wine given by the Queen of Qianxiang Kingdom."
This kind of wine, which is a special product of Qianxiang country, has a rich and sweet fruity aroma and is like amber in color. It is made from a kind of fruit called 'golden berry' mixed with grain in the country.After brewing, it is packed in wooden barrels made of special local wood, which has a special flavor.
The most wonderful thing is that the taste of this amber wine is different according to the age of storage.Younger wines tend to be sweeter, while older wines tend to be mellower.
On that day, the Queen of Qianxiang Kingdom visited Dazhou, and she brought dozens of barrels of amber wine on board, most of which were given to the emperor, and were very welcomed by the royal family of Dazhou.
The emperor also instructed Lin Changzhou individually for this wine, that he must also add this wine to the purchase list, and bring back more in the coming year.
Lin Jiang took a new fan and fanned it back and forth, thinking for a while: "If you drink amber wine, you won't have the usual lo mei as an appetizer."
Wei Ren stood up: "What do you want to eat? I'll ask the cook to make it. If you don't have any at home, you can go to Yuhuatai to buy it."
As one of the best restaurants in Beijing, Yuhuatai's banquet dishes may not be the most outstanding, but the appetizers are definitely the most comprehensive and the best.
Lin Jiang shook his head: "You don't need to buy it. Yuhuatai doesn't have the one I want to eat—I want to eat squid tendrils on iron plate. Well, let's have another fried with salt and pepper. The flavor is different."
Wei Ren showed an incomprehensible look when he heard it: "It was sent back with the letter from the father-in-law. Is it that kind of fish with many claws? It looks weird. Do you want to eat that?"
As a native of the inland, Wei Ren, like many aristocratic families in the capital, only eats a few kinds of fish, and he is a little bit insensitive to the strange-looking squid.
Lin Jiang only urged him to go to the kitchen: "I told Chef Li how to cook grilled squid on a iron plate before, not to mention frying it, it is her unique skill. You just go, you will know when you try it."
Wei Ren had reservations about this, and when he went to cook, in addition to asking Lin Jiang's "squid for two meals", he also asked the cook to serve him some normal braised meat.
It wasn't until he tasted squid that Wei Ren became a squid party.
The fried squid is crispy on the outside and has tough squid tendrils on the inside, as well as the fat squid slices with the aroma of grilling on the iron plate, brushed with salty and fresh sauce, and paired with fruity, bright and sweet amber wine, it is a perfect match.
After Gemstone set the table, she turned her head and stayed in her own room: the girl was drinking with the uncle, and it would be best for her to run away early.
Only Maomao was lying on the table, sniffing around, pawing the legs of the two of them from time to time, trying to get some food.
Seeing its pitiful barking, Wei Ren wanted to feed it a mouthful of stewed beef, but Lin Jiang stopped it.This stewed beef is still too salty, so I still only feed it minced meat made from a mixture of chicken and fish.
That night, Wei Ren and Lin Jiang drank to their heart's content, feeling that the day was very sweet and beautiful.
And it was also that night, a prince Teng who felt that life was not good arrived in the capital.
It is definitely not a short distance from the southeast of Dazhou to the capital, but after walking such a long distance, Wang Ziteng has not forgotten his original intention, and still has the anger of arguing with Lin Changzhou in his stomach.As a result, the speed along the way was much faster, and I arrived at the boundary of the capital two days earlier.
Besides, Lin Changzhou is a system that has experienced the world after all, he feels that the conflict with Wang Ziteng is only mediocre.No knife or gun was used, so it was not a big dispute.
But if it falls on the proud and arrogant Wang Ziteng, it will really explode.
He was swept away by Lin Changzhou in the matter of shipping before, but it was a matter between the two of them in private.
This time, in front of many local grassroots officials, Wang Ziteng, as the inspector of the nine provinces, was rejected by Lin Changzhou calmly and firmly, which can be described as a new experience.
The officials nearby all lowered their heads at that time, and even wished to retract their heads into their chests, for fear of being swept away by the tail of the typhoon.
Wang Ziteng really hasn't experienced this kind of experience of being unable to come to the stage in public for many years.
In the end, Lin Changzhou was different from Beijing Central, and even all the officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He didn't care about the euphemisms in the officialdom and how to save face.
He usually weighs it, as long as this person can offend the host and will not have any impact on the host, he doesn't care if the other party comes to Taiwan or not, he will simply give a 'no' word.
And his demeanor was too indifferent and natural, as if he had put on a layer of 'taunt buff', making the other party feel the anger of being despised.
This was the case with Wang Ziteng: half of the anger in his stomach was angered by Lin Changzhou's actions, and the other half was angered by his attitude.
The calm look in his eyes seemed to say that he, a first-rank official, was nothing in Lin Changzhou's eyes.
Wang Ziteng has never been wronged like this since he was a child!
Although he is a capable official, he also has the common problem of the four major families and the heroes of the founding of the country: I have status, and everyone should give me my face.
Glorious old dreams are always difficult to wake up from.
Wang Ziteng came to the capital with this kind of anger, ready to contact relatives and old friends, and participate in Lin Changzhou's book.And he had just returned home, after washing off the smoke and dust, he heard new news.
"What? The eldest sister and brother-in-law moved out of Rongxi Hall? But Jia She's family moved in?"
Mrs. Wang Ziteng's wife, Mrs. Han, has been staying in the capital, and she knows the affairs of Rongguo Mansion quite well. At this time, while helping Wang Ziteng change his clothes, she started talking about it as gossip.
She really just watched the excitement: She likes Sister Feng better than Mrs. Wang, the sister-in-law.
Anyway, there is no blood relationship, and Sister Feng is undoubtedly much more likable than Mrs. Wang.
But it's different for Wang Ziteng. The sister who grew up together when he was a child has a completely different relationship with a niece who only meets during the holidays.
"Shi Taijun actually agrees?"
Mrs. Han nodded: "Master is not in the capital. I don't know that there is a big incident in the Ningguo Mansion over there, but it is scary. The master also passed through the chaos in the mansion. It is normal, but it happened during the filial piety period, and asked Yushi to impeach it." Yes. The emperor even took away the title, which shows how annoyed he is. Recently, Shi Taijun only pretends to be sick, and refuses to go out or see guests."
Wang Ziteng understood the cause and effect as soon as he connected the cause and effect, and put a cup of tea heavily on the coffee table: "Presumably the eldest son of the mansion will take advantage of this to force his brother-in-law to move out! Shi Taijun is afraid that the two families will quarrel again, and the quarrel will lead to Lianrong in front of the imperial court." The state government is also going to suffer, so it has no choice but to give in—at such an opportunity, how can a drunken and foolish person like Dafang She be able to catch it? It must be Lin Ruhai's idea!"
Poor Lin Ruhai, who sits at home and the pot comes from the sky.
If Jia Amnesty wanted to know, he would have to be angry: Why, don't I deserve dreams?
Seeing that Wang Ziteng was furious, Mrs. Han was surprised: "My lord, Brother Feng is not an outsider either. Whoever lives in Rongxi Hall as the first and second bedroom, let them go."
Wang Ziteng didn't have the nerve to tell his wife that Lin Changzhou vomited blood in the south, so he just sneered and said, "Madam sees that Brother Feng is not an outsider, but she doesn't know that she sees our house as an outsider, and the Lin family is a serious relative. That's fine, I know about this, and I will make up my own mind in the future.”
Seeing that Wang Ziteng's words were inconsequential, and that he wanted to go against the Lin family, Mrs. Han hurriedly persuaded, "Master, it's so easy to go back to Beijing, why bother to make trouble with the Lin family. After all, Lin Shangshu is six books, and they are written every day. The person in front of the imperial court is married to a family like Prince Shao's, we should go to make peace, why bother to embarrass others?"
Wang Ziteng thumped the table: "They are going to eat me if you are still in harmony with others! Do you want me to wash myself and serve it on the table so that people can eat it? You don't need to mention it with the knowledge of a woman like you!"
Han Shi has been married to him for many years, and he also knows his temperament, he is a person who refuses to bow his head and give in, and always needs others to flatter and support him.
So Mrs. Han didn't dare to persuade her anymore, she could only say something else to divert Wang Ziteng's mind: "Master, I don't care about the big things outside, but my daughter must take care of it."
"Master finally went back to Beijing, either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, if the daughter and son-in-law must come to the door, why shouldn't the master take care of the delicate customers first?"
Thinking about waiting for her daughter and son-in-law to come, it would be good to persuade Wang Ziteng.After all, her son-in-law is not an ordinary person, but the king of Sujun, who is also a relative of the emperor.
Since the daughter is a princess, speaking out will definitely be more effective than speaking by herself.
Unexpectedly, things in this world, for the Han family, really backfired.
After Wang Qingluan returned to her natal family, instead of persuading her father, she brought oil barrels to add fuel to the fire.
The relationship between father and daughter is good, Wang Ziteng naturally wants to avoid his son-in-law, and ask his daughter in private if her life is happy after marriage?Seeing that he was not always in Beijing, Prince Besu's mansion treated his daughter poorly.
Unexpectedly, Wang Qingluan only briefly talked about her married life, and then talked about "major affairs in the court" with her father.
Besides, in the past, Wang Ziteng and the imperial concubine's natal family Wu's family were relatively close. After all, although the Wu family was not four kings and eight princes, they were also officials promoted by the Supreme Emperor, and Wang Ziteng naturally had a bit of a sweet relationship with Wang Ziteng.
And after Wang Qingluan became the concubine of Sujun, she had to go to the palace during the New Year's Eve, so naturally she slowly started to walk around with the concubine.
In the past six months, the imperial concubine has been suffering from loss of favor.
Seeing that Wang Qingluan was getting close to her, she had the intention of wooing her, and even hinted to Wang Qingluan: Shao Wangfu and Lin's family probably both wanted to support the fifth prince.
The imperial concubine of course wanted to win over the old ministers of the Supreme Emperor headed by Wang Ziteng, so as to strengthen the momentum for the Tenth Prince in the future.
This time Wang Qingluan came to tell his father about this important event.
Hearing this, Wang Ziteng frowned and thought for a moment: "It's too early to stand as the crown prince." Wang Qingluan knew that his father was not in the capital, and he could learn about major events in the court through the mansion newspaper, but not many small things.
He hurriedly married Wei Yan and Lin Jiang. It was a marriage letter written by the fifth prince himself. Zhou Liheng went to Prince Heng's mansion for a short stay during the Chinese New Year. ? In terms of background, what does Prince Heng compare to the ten princes? It means that he became the king, and his mother just raised a concubine from the nobleman."
Wang Ziteng asked his daughter: "The noble concubine is planning for the ten princes...how does King Sujun think about this?"
Wang Qingluan said dissatisfied: "He is the most timid one. If I have an idea, I will come back and talk to my father in such a hurry?"
Among the emperor's brothers, Su Wang was the first to surrender, throwing his title to his son and running away. The new Su Jun Wang is not an ambitious person either.
Hearing from his wife that he wanted to make friends with the imperial concubine and concubine, and to hold ten princes in the future, King Su Jun waved his hands again and again.His father was why the prince couldn't do it, so he had to go to the temple to squat, and it wasn't because he wanted to get involved in the matter of the throne.
King Sujun really didn't want to get involved in it anymore, and angered his uncle Huang.
He is resigned to his fate, but Wang Qingluan, who was brought up by Wang Ziteng as a concubine, has ambitions.
The system she was educated in when she was a child was to be a concubine and assist her husband, with the ultimate goal of being a queen.
It's a pity that the emperor didn't choose her to be his daughter-in-law, which left her with no hope at all.
With her temperament, since she became a princess, she would not want to be an unknown princess like Princess Zhongshun. If she wanted to, she would be a glorious and respectable princess like Princess Shao, who is flattered by everyone in Beijing!
Why is King Shao so powerful?It's nothing more than the fact that during the years when the Supreme Emperor was there, he chose the emperor early to follow him all the way.
As long as the Sujun Palace also selects the crown prince, it will be the future Shaowang Palace.
Of course, Wang Qingluan asked her father to help her in such a matter. In her heart, her father was still a courtier with a high position and power, who could protect her and bring her glory.
In the four kings and eight kilometers, her royal family is not the highest in terms of title, but in the past because of her father's face, everyone gave her a bit in the small feasts of the girls of these families.
Seeing that Wang Ziteng just pondered and didn't agree to himself, Wang Qingluan couldn't help but said in frustration: "Father, I will be Princess Shao in the future, but the girl from the Lin family. My daughter knows that my father has always disliked the Lin family. Do you want to see the girl from the Lin family compare me to me everywhere in the future?" Qiang, do people in Beijing respect her first, and then me?"
Mainly in terms of seniority, Wang Qingluan is still a seniority lower, so I really have to go back and greet him first.
It has to be said that Wang Qingluan's words successfully hit Wang Ziteng's recent hot spot.
He was angry about the Lin family's affairs, and Ben also wanted to trouble Lin Changzhou.
At this moment, he made a decision: as long as he makes a move, he must confront the Lin family, so it is impossible for him to be friendly with Prince Shao's mansion.That being the case, it would be better to join hands with the imperial concubine to save the family from being weak.
After seeing off his daughter and son-in-law, Wang Ziteng locked himself in the study and started to sort out from scratch.
He suddenly remembered the time when Lin Ruhai was transferred back to the capital after the emperor's funeral.
At that time, I actually felt that Lin Ruhai had the same illness and sympathy with Lin Ruhai, and was dismissed from his original post because he was an old minister of the Supreme Emperor.One is not allowed to be the military governor of the Beijing camp, and the other is not allowed to be the censor of salt inspection.
Unexpectedly, I was kicked out of the capital by the emperor, so I had to wander around, but Lin Ruhai actually stayed in the capital and entered the sixth department!
Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng felt that he was an idiot who had the same illness as Lin Ruhai at that time, and a feeling of grief and anger welled up in his heart.
Since you can't be kind, let's fight.
The Lin family can't just let it go if they cut his face like this.
On the second day, Lin Jiang was woken up by a cat.
For Lin Jiang, the cat in Huangfu Jingcheng has a bit of Stockholm syndrome.Originally, I wasn't its favorite master, probably because there was always a trace of medicinal herbs lingering around me, so it didn't take the initiative to be close to it.
However, ever since Lin Jiang picked it up and dropped it with a knife, he has become very sticky to Lin Jiang.
Even if it is closed in the outside room, as long as the door is opened a little, it will get in and lean against Lin Jiang, its warm little body sticks to Lin Jiang as much as possible, and then closes its eyes and falls asleep in peace.
Lin Jiang thought: This is probably a deformed love.
Fortunately, they are all house cats. Since they were neutered, they don't like to go out. They only move around in the three rooms, and rarely go to the yard to climb the walls of the house.
So even the claws are not dirty, and it doesn't matter if you jump on the bed.
Lin Jiang also bought it internal and external insect repellent from the system to clean it up.Speaking of which, the medicine Lin Jiang bought from the system for himself was not as much as for cats.
It's just that Huangfu Cat became more plump after being neutered. Although it jumped on the bed carefully to avoid stepping on Lin Jiang, the aftershock it jumped on was enough to wake Lin Jiang up.
Opening his eyes, Lin Jiang smiled when he saw a cat's face like a huge disc, and held it in his arms.
The cat is such a cute animal, it doesn't have any smell, it's like a clean cotton cloth.
"Miss, would you like some sweet soup or milk porridge? Did you have a headache after drinking yesterday?" Baoshi came in and asked softly when he heard the movement inside.
Lin Jiang shook her head, planning to stay in bed on the rare holiday.
Before going back to bed, ask Gem: "Is there anything wrong at home?"
Baoshi replied: "There is one thing. The second grandma Lian of Rongguo Mansion sent someone to deliver new fruits from the garden, and brought a letter by the way, saying that Mr. Wang has arrived in the capital."
Lin Jiang opened his eyes.
Her eyes lingered on the tent for a while, then she smiled lightly: "Let them fight the battle between men themselves."
Wang Ziteng might pick on Lin Ruhai, and might cause trouble for Wei Ren in the Beijing camp, but his hand cannot reach the Tai Hospital.
In other words, no one can shake Lin Jiang's foundation in Tai Hospital.
So this is destined to be a battle between men. The Lin family has Lin Ruhai in papers, and Wei Ren can also pick Wang Ziteng in martial arts.
She didn't worry about it, at most she would play support.
"I'll sleep a little longer." Lin Jiang stuffed the cat under the quilt, ready to sleep back together.
Gemstone also withdrew and closed the door softly: The girl has a rare rest and doesn't want to get up, so let's take a good rest.
In the room, Lin Jiang turned over and didn't go to sleep directly, but the advanced system.
Since it's an eventful time, it's never wrong to make more preparations.
It just so happens that I haven’t gone to the store on the sixth floor to open a blind box for a while, so I’m going to spend some fun today, and it’s best to find something unexpected.
After all, her personal version of the fifth-floor store was standard in the ancient world.
And like the other world system store goods she had drawn before, I feel that they are all products that can have unexpected effects after being used well.
Lin Jiang went directly to open the Diamond Astral Blind Box.
[-] prestige points once, even though Lin Jiang has a lot of prestige points now, every time he draws it, he has to feel distressed.
In consciousness, she reached out and picked off the stars one by one.
A total of five diamonds were picked, and after settling [-] reputation points, Lin Jiang opened all five diamond blind boxes in one go.
One of them caught her attention.
[A magical flower]: "As the most famous and mysterious genius doctor in the Jianghu, Tianfeng's internal strength is unfathomable. He played Shaolin in the north and Wudang in the south. There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that his internal strength is not due to his hard work, but his practice. Made a pill to increase internal strength. So after his death, the legacy he left behind became one piece, which has attracted countless heroes from all over the world."
"Actually, Tianfeng just planted a kind of flower."
Lin Jiang looked at this secondary setting that mixed martial arts and One Piece in silence.She has already discovered that the product notes in the system are different, some are concise and direct to point out the effect, and some give you a paragraph of fancy and specious words.
Lin Jiang also had to go to the customer service to verify the true efficacy of this flower.
To do so also pay 0.5 reputation points.
And the vip customer service of the system saw that she was heartbroken for the 0.5 prestige value, and when he read the appraisal report to her, his voice could not help but choke: This is really too economical.
After the official identification of the system store, Lin Jiang confirmed that the effect of this flower is really good, it can condense internal force, especially positive internal force.
Just such a small flower, bearing the internal breath of ten years of penance.
When Wei Ren came home that night, he saw Lin Jiang serving a salad with Tian Qi: "Eat it, I made it myself."
She really seldom cooks, so even if it was just a cold dish, Wei Ren ate it all.
After eating, Lin Jiang looked at him with his chin in his hands: "How is it?"
Wei Ren nodded: "It's delicious." He is a martial arts practitioner, and he usually likes to eat meat, but once in a while, he thinks it's good to eat such a refreshing cold salad.What's more, there are still fresh and tender raw walnuts inside, with a crispy fragrance.
Lin Jiang: "Aside from being delicious? Do you have any other feelings?"
Wei Ren shook his head.
Lin Jiang: I mixed [a miraculous flower] into it for you, not to mention that the petals and even the roots were not wasted, how could you not feel it?
The five hundred and five hundred prestige points were thrown down, could it be in vain?
It was the VIP customer service of the system store who took the initiative to explain to her: In order to prevent too much internal energy from being poured into the inner body and damage the meridians of the human body, for the people of the non-wuxia world, the empowerment model of the martial arts world will not be adopted, and the internal energy will be paid in installments. Works slowly over a year.
Lin Jiang was relieved: the prestige value was not in vain, and praised the system store for its considerate and humanized service.
Seeing her resting her chin and keeping silent, Wei Ren thought it was because he was not enthusiastic enough to praise his wife's cooking skills, so he rearranged his vocabulary and praised a plate of cold salad with Tianqi to such an extent that Zhu Yuanzhang praised cabbage tofu soup as pearls and emeralds Bai Yutang's posture.
And Lin Jianggang finished communicating with the system in his mind, and when he woke up, he looked at Wei Ren with a somewhat dazed expression: Huh?Were you talking just now?
Wei Ren also smiled: "You have an epiphany again?"
Long before getting married, Wei Ren discovered that sometimes Lin Jiang would be in a daze by himself, as if he had fallen into another world. He was worried about this, for fear that Lin Jiang was too tired to look like this Lost in a daze.
After getting married, Wei Ren even asked about it with special concern.
Lin Jiang explained to him with fantasy reasons: "When you practice martial arts, you will have epiphanies, right? I also have. Many times, I just suddenly figured out a little bit of medicine. At this time, don't worry about me, let alone wake me up. I."
As a martial artist, Wei Ren understood the epiphany very well.
"Let's not talk about me now." Lin Jiang looked at Wei Ren: "Did you know that Wang Ziteng arrived in the capital two days ago?"
Wei Ren nodded.
Lin Jiang couldn't help but concerned: "It's only been half a year since you took over the Beijing camp. It's not as familiar as he was in charge of it for more than ten years."
Besides, Wang Ziteng took over the Beijing camp from Jia Daishan, so it was completely handed over from his own family.
At that time, even if Jia Daishan's old department would not directly rely on Wang Ziteng, it would not stumbling him.The four big families are always regarded as one when they are outside, not to mention that Jia Daishan fell ill or died suddenly. In addition to asking for an official for his son Jia Zheng, he naturally also made way for the successor prince.
It can be said that Wang Ziteng took over the management of the Beijing camp without much effort.
But Wei Ren is different, he was the envoy of the Beijing camp, he was originally appointed by the emperor as an exception, and he was airborne, and there are many forces in the Beijing camp that grouped together to resist him.
They have established their own interest groups over the years, relying on many unknown means to obtain money and official positions, so naturally they don't want to be interrupted by the new boss.
For those of them who are old in the Beijing camp, they are local snakes. As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake. If you are a dragon, you have to coil up first when you get here!
That's why Lin Jiang asked: "Everything will go smoothly in the Beijing camp, so don't let Wang Ziteng catch you."
Wei Ren said: "You don't have to worry, Wang Ziteng will definitely catch me."
At first, Lin Jiang just said casually: "Oh, it's good if you can catch it... Wait, you said you can catch it?"
A little smile appeared in Wei Ren's eyes: "I have only taken over the Beijing camp for half a year after all, and the four major camps are deeply intertwined. Even if I straighten things out on the surface, it is far from meeting His Majesty's expectations and being able to fully grasp these four camps. Four battalions."
"Since it is impossible to be impeccable, instead of letting someone find a loophole that I have not prepared for, it is better to leave the prince with an excuse that I have prepared for a long time."
Wei Ren picked up the teapot and added some new water to Lin Jiang: "This is called...you taught me that word, fishing law enforcement."
Wei Ren's preparation for fishing to enforce the law was inspired by the emperor sending the eldest prince to the south of the Yangtze River as bait.
At that time, Lin Jiang said that the emperor was fishing to enforce the law. Wei Ren had never heard of this term. Lin Jiang explained it to Wei Ren alone, which left a deep impression on him.
Since Wang Ziteng came back aggressively, give him a reason to attack.
Lin Jiang was in high spirits: "Since you're going to fish, what's your bait? Tell me."
Wei Ren started talking to her from the beginning.

Besides, several decades ago, Jia Daishan was also an outstanding representative of youth and promise. He took over the important position of the Beijing Camp Jiedushi at the age of 30, and he was still doing well.
At that time, Da Zhou also had several foreign campaigns.
Since there are wars, the price of this grain fluctuates greatly. The amount of grain that can be bought with the same money varies greatly.
Jia Daishan and the Supreme Emperor are young monarchs and ministers, and they have always had a good relationship.
When Jia Daishan noticed this, he appealed to the Supreme Emperor, asking him to pay the soldiers not only silver and copper coins, but half the silver and half the food.
For example, if the salary is ten taels, it is determined to pay five taels of silver, one stone and a half rice - this will ensure that even if the price of food rises sharply, the soldiers will not be worried and dissatisfied because they cannot afford rice noodles at home. After all, appeasing soldiers in wartime is the most important thing of.
The Supreme Emperor agreed to this method of distributing military salaries.
Looking at it at the time, Jia Daishan's approach was impeccable.But the problem is that there is no permanent law in the world. As time passed, the Great Zhou Dynasty had not waged war for 20 years, and the price of rice became increasingly stable. Such a measure of distributing food has become a way of corruption.
After all, if you want to distribute food, you must first buy food from the people, and then distribute it to the soldiers according to the amount.
Between buying and selling, there is a lot of room for maneuvering; because the imperial court buys grain, or buys it in large quantities and stably, and distributes it to the army, the rice line naturally dare not raise the price, and generally sell it at a higher price than the market. [-]% cheaper.
The compradors in the military camp bought milled rice at a low price, added [-]% of the price when they resold it, and then sold the milled rice at a high price to make a profit.
That's not all, they will take out a small part of the money to buy the most inferior old rice, and then distribute it to ordinary soldiers according to the amount of one stone and a half per person.
In this way, the empty-handed white wolf makes money at both ends, and the compradors make a lot of money, and only ordinary soldiers suffer.The Lumi they received was almost all old rice that was difficult to swallow, and even some moldy rice. Even if it was used to feed chickens and ducks, the small animals would not be able to bear it, and would die from eating it. .
Many people whose families were able to get by threw away the old rice, but those who were extremely poor had no choice but to eat bravely, and they were lucky if they didn't die.
There is nothing they can do.
Those who do this kind of thing are old fritters in the Beijing camp, and they have managed it from top to bottom.Ordinary soldiers have no way to ask for help. Not only will they not get the Lumi they deserve, but they will also cause trouble for themselves.
After a long time, after the formation of a rule, the soldiers had no choice but to admit that they were unlucky, and their salary was only five taels of silver.
When Wei Ren told Lin Jiang about this matter, Lin Jiang said with emotion that where there are people, there is corruption.
It was the same when I lived in Rongguo Mansion.I heard from Tanchun that the girls in the Rongguo Mansion gave them two taels of silver every month to buy rouge and gouache, and another two taels of silver was reserved for the girls to use flexibly.But those compradors took the money, and the rouge and gouache they got were all second-rate goods.The girls of Rongguo Mansion have to use their own money to ask people to buy these household items. [2]
Later, when Tanchun helped Sister Feng's housekeeper, he mentioned this matter to Sister Feng and exempted this item.
"It can be seen that there is nothing new under the sun." Lin Jiang couldn't help but read a sentence from the "Bible".Everywhere, the greedy heart is the same.
And this kind of long-standing malpractice, after Wei Ren took office, calculated the accounts and visited the soldiers below, he told the emperor: the Beijing camp does not need to be converted into two grains in silver during non-war times, and it is enough to directly distribute silver and copper coins to the soldiers.
Listening to his statement of the pros and cons, the emperor naturally approved it.
It can be said that Wei Ren's move made most of the soldiers extremely happy, and felt that their salaries had doubled.And for the court, there is no loss, after all, the military pay is so much.
The only people suffering are the compradors who profit from it, and the upper-level bureaucrats who are supported by their money.
"Since I took over the Beijing camp, I have been doing it slowly. It is really a drastic change to the old practice, only this one item of payment. Naturally, the people in charge of food procurement in the army complained about me the most, and they were most likely to connect with Wang Ziteng. "
"It's the easiest way to find witnesses, and it's also the most embarrassing for me."
Wei Ren not only counted Wang Ziteng's behavior, but also counted his temper.
Maybe there are other things to criticize him for, but Wang Ziteng's character will definitely choose the one that hurts the most in the face to take revenge.
Wei Ren only changed this one major measure, so Wang Ziteng wanted him to make a fool of himself in order to be happy!
Wei Ren left this opportunity for him.
"So, what mistake did you make?" Lin Jiang asked with a smile: "It won't affect my downgrade."
