The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Rong Jia was transferred to be the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, the head and guest secretary, and others still don't think that Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rites often communicate with each other, but the Minister of Rites, Yu Zhengwen, is not comfortable at all.On that day, Shengshang wanted to take Jia in as his son-in-law, but seeing that Longyan was displeased, he was afraid that something would happen, so he said something nonsense.Unexpectedly, Rong Jia was still the son-in-law, but he was still the son-in-law of the Lin family. It was just that when Lin Mo glared at him that day, he still felt chills thinking about it.This kid, Rong Jia, has a friendly face, and he smiles slightly when he sees everyone, but if you want to treat him as a young man with no heart, you're making a big mistake.When he sued Luo Daowei at the age of seven and got the title of "Master Rong", he still looked like dough, and anyone who saw it wanted to pinch it.

As long as Yu Zhengwen sees Rong Jia, he feels uncomfortable everywhere.Even though he is a minister, he is already a prime minister, and he doesn't pay much attention to ordinary fifth-rank officials, but is Rong Jia an ordinary person?His father was a great official in the frontier, his grandfather was an honored general of the country, and his uncle still had military power in his hands, guarding the north of the country.Even without these things, when he was a seven-year-old child, he dared to pull the Shandong general soldier off his horse, which shows that he was cruel. Besides, there was a Jingyuanhou behind him.Lin Mo, the servant of the third-rank household department, do you think he is a small official?None of the lords dared to underestimate him, who knows what background he is?

But Rong Jia acted as if he had nothing to worry about, and even came here to invite him to attend his crowning ceremony: "My lord, my father said that while he was here, he would hold a crowning ceremony for me and invite you to watch the ceremony."

Yu Zhengwen had no choice but to agree.

When Rong Jia held the coronation ceremony, he was glad that he had come. Rong Jia had been hanging out in Beijing for two years, but he was very successful. The original officials and colleagues of the temple are not mentioned, even Han Wang, Zhao Wang, and Li Guogong's sons are all present. Rong Jia originally said that he wanted Lin Mo to choose characters for him, but it was not a joke. Rong Mingqian really meant it .Lin Mo, on the other hand, saw that Rong Mingqian had been promoted to the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and that he was far behind his uncle in terms of age, seniority, and closeness, so he hurriedly declined.Rong Mingqian thought of Rong Jia's teacher Zhou Hanlin again, but after all he was still there, Zhou Hanlin didn't dare to trust him.

"Cousin, I'm a little scared. You say that my eldest brother is named Bowen. If my father names me Zhongwu, I will be ridiculed to death by them." Rong Jia was wearing a brand new gold butterfly, silver and red jacket with flowers and white jade around it. With a gold-plated crown and blue-faced white satin court boots, he is wearing nothing but a family heirloom jade pendant and a small sachet. Like a cold star still bright.Wang Ziteng was also invited to watch the ceremony at the moment, and seeing his appearance, he thought to himself: Although this child's features are worse than Baoyu's, but his overall style is much better than our children's.

Lin Mo stretched out his hands to pinch his cousin's fleshy cheeks, but found that Rong Jia had already stretched his figure, and the fleshy face that he kneaded casually when he was a child has become as handsome as a moonlight, and he is no longer as deceitful as before. son.The Rong family had already notified the ancestral hall three days in advance, and quit the guest, yesterday was a guest, today is his official crown, from now on he will be an adult.

When it came time to salute, the champion Rong Jia, Rong Mingqian and his younger brother Rong Mingduan were the directors, Zhou Hanlin was the guest of honor, he was a famous Confucianist in the dynasty and Rong Jia's teacher, he was highly respected, so it was the most appropriate.Lin Mo was praised, Rong Jia's brother Rong Xi, Liu Xiangru in the same year, and Du Yuansheng, a young minister of Taichang Temple, were the ministers, so the arrangements were quite proper.

Lin Mo thought for a while, then smiled again: "Fuck you so carefree, you are really a child."

Rong Jia said: "I am no longer a child."

Lin Mo let out a "huh".Looking around, he asked with a smile: "Guess there are so many people, how many of them are sincere? How many of them think that you will be a son-in-law in the future, and how many of them have already heard the rumor that uncle is going to be promoted?" Rong Jia Said: "Everyone is selfish. Some people are for fame and others are for profit. Even I can't be spared. Did I really make friends with these people from the beginning? Yes, they can help me three points in Beijing, and some, Some are good-looking and comfortable to look at, and some have outstanding talents and learning, and they can lead me to make a difference, so it can be seen that I am not nobler than them."

It was the first time Lin Mo heard him say this, and it was quite fresh: "Oh, tell me, why did you befriend me in the first place?"

Rong Jia was shocked: "Is it because I made friends with my cousin? Obviously it was my cousin who saw me Yuxue was cute and beautiful, and came to my house to play with me every day." Lin Mo was laughed at by him, and he wanted to punch him: " You really know how to put gold on your face, I was thinking at the time, how did this child be raised, why is he so easy to bully. But you, come here every day to scold me. "

Rong Jia said: "I'm also surprised. When I was young, my father was an official. Your father is a retired medical officer. How could you suppress me everywhere, even my brother?" I have to die. I think it is clear now, no wonder I have been bullied by you for so many years, but why didn’t you bully your daughter back? I should be afraid of my brother-in-law, and it would be strange not to be afraid. "

Lin Mo snorted coldly: "Today is your big day, I won't give you something to look at, you can try it tomorrow." Rong Jia hurriedly begged for mercy, and the two brothers made a fuss, but Rong Xi who was looking for him said in surprise "Jia'er, what are you doing? The auspicious time is almost here and you are still messing around here. Father and Mr. Zhou are waiting for you, so hurry up." He said to Lin Mo, "I have to trouble Taiyin today. Yes. I came to the capital in a hurry for this kid's big event, and I haven't had time to go to the house to pay a visit, Taiyin don't think I'm rude."

Lin Mo hurriedly said, don't worry about it, but I'm too busy, you can go to the house to play, and bring Brother Cheng with you.

Rong Xi's deceased wife, Ouyang Shi, was childhood sweetheart with him, and they had a deep relationship. When his wife passed away, Rong Xi was completely disillusioned. The patriarchs of the family, Rong Mingqian and Rong Baishi, couldn't let him mess around and searched everywhere to find him a wife.Later, seeing that he refuted fiercely and became more and more disappointed, he didn't dare to be picky anymore. He just wanted to find a gentle and kind person who could treat Sui Cheng better and didn't even care about his family background, so he fell in love with Yingchun.This matter was decided by the Bai family, and it was settled, so Rong Xi could not object.

Lin Mo thought to herself, this cousin, who has always been paranoid, probably hated him because of this, and found it even more funny.He and Yingchun can't be said to be friendly, but he and Rongxi have been playing together for more than ten years. Could it be that he would harm his cousin for someone like Rongguo Mansion?Furthermore, this marriage was decided by the elders from the beginning to the end, even Jing Xian was just acting as a matchmaker, so what did she have to do with him.

It's just that although Lin Mo thought so, he didn't say it.He followed Rong Xi into the Rong family ancestral hall.

Rong Jia is a fifth-rank official. After a few bows, Zhou Hanlin added a black cloth crown for him, and added two beams of tasseled green q to guide the virtuous crown, and three Canadian yuan crowns. He was quite proud of tying hair and beard for the Rong family.After the coronation, Rong Mingqian saw him in the ancestral hall, and bestowed Rong Jia with the inscription "Zhong Er Bao Rong Jia Fu paid homage to the elders, and then met the guests who came to the coronation ceremony, and the ceremony was considered complete.

Rong Mingqian saw that his son was imposing and handsome, so he let go of his usual seriousness, and heaved a long sigh with emotion.Zhou Hanlin happened to be beside him, and said: "Brother Rong has a son, and he has become a towering tree." Rong Mingqian hurriedly said: "You are ignorant, how can you afford such absurd praise from your husband."

Lin Mo followed behind and said with a smile, "What Uncle said is not sincere."

Zhou Hanlin also smiled and said: "No, brother Rong has to trust Lin Hou's vision. He said your son is good, Zhong Fatongfan is unforgiving! Zhang Zhi was calm and relaxed this time, but he didn't say anything. It's just that everyone knows well that the queen has already recognized his sister as a righteous daughter, and she will only give her a title when she leaves the house. After Rong Jia is crowned, she may be promoted to consort soon.

Lin Mo said: "Speaking of this, Jia'er asked me today if my uncle would give him the word 'Zhongwu', and I said absolutely no, wouldn't this be an honor to my uncle? It's just that I didn't expect my uncle to give him the word "Zhongwu". He took the word 'two' from the sound of water and clouds, and the artistic conception is really hard for us to catch up with." Rong Mingqian laughed and said: "Brother Mo, don't say that, uncle watched you grow up, don't you still I don’t know you, but you will go farther and more steadily in the future than us old people. As for taking this word, Jia’er was short of water in the five elements when he was a child. A monk came to his family and said that he had a noble person with a lot of water in his life. Regardless of whether it's the turbulent sea or the blood and tears that hurt Qiu's feelings, they can keep him safe. It's just that I don't feel at ease in the end, and it's also a kind of heart to give him this word."

Everyone hurriedly said that Mr. Rong is indeed a loving father, and he has pity on the hearts of parents in the world.

Rong Mingqian's words are not false, he is delighted to be married to the Lin family, firstly, Lin Mo, the aunt and nephew he watched grow up, is the most secure person, secondly, when the horoscope is matched, the fortune teller will say Well, the girl from the Lin family has water in her life, so she is perfect for Second Master Rong.Rong Mingqian has been an official for so many years, and he is a hard-hearted man who is not afraid of anything, and he never believes when others bluff him with ghosts and gods.It's just that for a few children, he can't be as cruel as he is for himself, and even more trustworthy.Now it looks like, Lin Mo is a big wave, Daiyu is a daughter of blood and tears, they are both like Jiaer's nobleman.

He thought in his heart that before he took office, he should first arrange Xi'er's marriage, so that he can rest assured that he can take the exam next year, and then strike Jia'er's marriage while the iron is hot, even if he signals Lin Mo to go to a place where there is no one: "Mo Brother, you know that within a few months of the new year, I will go to Guangdong and Guangxi to take up my post after handing over over there."

Lin Mo said, "Congratulations to Uncle for being promoted yet."

"How can you call it a high promotion? Just make some efforts for the kingdom before this old bone is hardened. It's just Jiaer's marriage. I know you intend to keep the girl at home for a few years. What if I do this?" It's a pity that my father is not here."

Lin Mo naturally understood what he meant, so he could only say: "Uncle, it's not that I don't care about you, it's just that the time is too tight, we have to prepare some dowry for the girl, right? Take care of everything? Anyway, my sister and Jiaer are still young, so why not wait another two years, my uncle's affairs in Guangxi and Guangdong are almost done, take a leave of absence, come to Beijing, and I will send my sister to Your family is not good?"

Rong Mingqian gritted his teeth: "Anyway, I want to watch the next job."

It's not as if he didn't want to urge you, but after the appointment, the wedding will be a hundred days or two months later, Rong Mingqian made a good plan.Lin Mo is a junior, he has already rejected it once, but he doesn't know how to do it this time.

Older gingers are more spicy.

Rong Jia was drinking with the guests in that room, Lin Mo sighed: "I thought, because of the fourth cousin, my uncle and Xiangru would have some gaps."

Rong Mingqian said: "The two of them failed, and I don't know who should say who is unlucky. I just feel it's a pity. It's okay. Liu Lang will make a big deal in the future." He glanced at Lin Mo again, "And Mo My uncle, you are so blind that you can't see how far you can go in the future."

Lin Mo joked, "Maybe I can be a first-class official like uncle or grandpa?"

Rong Mingqian shook his head and said: "No, Brother Mo, you can go further. In the future, the name of the Lin family's master will be recorded in the annals of history!"

Lin Mo's eyes were burning brightly, and he lowered his head and said, "If it's not like this, what am I going to do here?"
