The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Besides the six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is another fertile place in the entire imperial court. Wang Ziteng was also the home of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Now everyone has to be called Wang Xiang.Speaking of Jing Ruinian, his qualifications are older than Wang Ziteng's. He was the number one scholar that year, but he has never been released. .

Before Lin Mo went to visit him, he never understood what Jing Ruinian was like.

Most of the imperial historians, especially those who were born as the champions of a dynasty, always have a reputation for being upright and outspoken, but Jing Ruinian is very low-key. Over the years, let alone admonitions, he The excerpts are actually some mild remarks.But if you say that he didn’t say or do anything, it’s not surprising. He also wrote some things that pointed out the current problems, but he just wrote it, and the emperor listened to it, which is good. If the emperor didn’t listen, he also I won't repeat it several times like others.

As an official in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there are not many people who can be as stable and moderate as him.

Lin Mo couldn't help laughing, if Shui Rong had the ability of this old uncle, he wouldn't have to be ridiculed as a fool.However, although Jing Ruinian's ability is great, the official performance has not improved in recent years. It is not as good as the prosperity of the Beijing Palace. It seems that even Wang Ziteng can beat him now.He has adopted it since he was adopted, and he also respects his old friends in the same year. Every year, there will be a lot of gifts for festivals, and he will visit him from time to time when he is on vacation.Anyway, he is also from a scholarly family, and he makes friends with noble people who are well-read in poetry and books. It is not considered a loss for him to spend more time with them.

Jing Ruinian had been with him in a tepid way for the past few years, he returned gifts, received him well when he came to visit, and played chess with him. No matter what trouble happened, I didn't see this elder come out to say anything.

But originally, I didn't expect these people who were not relatives or relatives to be of any help.Lin Mo knew in his heart that it would be the best for him if he didn't make things worse. After all, Wen cherishes feathers. In the past few years in Lin Mojing, he has had a lot of miscellaneous things and a bad reputation. To intercede, it must have a life-threatening friendship.But after the incident, he continued to give the gifts that he should have given, and the family received them calmly, without changing the friendship on the surface at all. For him, it was a great help.

That's why, when Shui Rong really stood up to speak for him, and put on a posture of a faction living and dying together, he was overjoyed, only feeling that after a long time of ups and downs, there is really a small boat that can be with He does the same.

Who knew that Jingrui Nian would send a mysterious post inviting him to drink tea?

Lin Mo clenched his palms tightly, feeling that he was trembling with excitement.But he thought he was funny, such an old fox, dare to tell him anything?

While putting on the boots, Lin Che turned over and muttered, "Brother, why is it so early?"

Now that it's winter, this kid is starting late, Daiyu feels sorry for his young age, and will soon go to the border to endure hardships, so naturally she doesn't care about him.Lin Mo turned her head to look at the sleepy eyes of her third brother, and didn't have the heart to tell him to get up early. Instead, she stretched out her hand to tuck him in the quilt: "Well, sleep a little longer."

"Brother, go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" Lin Che's voice became smaller and smaller, "Don't you need to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

"Go to the household department in the morning, and you can leave when you go." It's the end of the year, even if you find out that there is an error in the account book, you can't do anything in front of those foreign envoys.Lin Mo's burden was also much lighter.

"Brother, don't you need to ask Prince Jing?" Lin Che was already half asleep, "Go alone."

Lin Mo was startled, and rubbed his younger brother's hair: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Now the household department is also on duty in the morning, and when Cao Shangshu came back from the morning court, he felt that the yamen was a little deserted, and he was secretly glad that he didn't see the lively scene of reading the account book by candlelight all night.Showing up in front of foreign envoys is undoubtedly something that several princes are vying to do, so Shui Fu also took an errand to accompany him early in the morning, without feeling at all that he stole King Zhao's limelight.

Cao Shangshu wandered around, and was surprised to find that Jingyuanhou was still checking the accounts before sitting in the case. He felt a little emotional, but went in and said, "I don't have to work so hard recently." Lin Mo put down the account book and saluted: "Big." Cao Shangshu said with a chuckle: "Nowadays it is said that among young people, one is the leader. I should really be jealous. Look at this desperation. God rewards hard work. This is true." He himself There are also children and grandchildren in the family. Although I also feel that Lin Mo is too fast and not stable enough, I am envious of the fact that the Lin family has children.

There are no shortcuts in this world. Although the children of wealthy families are born smoother than others, if they really want to reach the heights, they have to rely on themselves.

"The lower officials are eating the emperor's salary, so they don't dare to be lazy." Lin Mo served tea with a smile, "Tea is great."

Cao Shangshu only came over to take a look, and planned to go back, so he took the tea, but didn't take a sip, so he raised his hand and asked: "It's almost Chinese New Year, how are the preparations at home? Two days ago, my son asked , everyone in the family is still young, Lord Jingning is now, um, a little girl, and she is still in her boudoir, and the things about the New Year are cumbersome, but can you be busy?"

"The mouth of the family is simple. What's the age, the whole family gathers together to drink and watch plays happily. Our family is not like those in the capital of the whole family. They are so lively, but there are many things to do. Our family is simple. "Lin Mo seemed to be doing homework, and he couldn't see his usual cold temperament. "Even if you count Xiulang, it's only two generations."

Cao Shangshu said a few more gossips, told him to go to his own house to play when he had time, and then went home.

Now except for the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, other places are getting more and more leisurely. Lin Mo also knows why. He himself feels that he has been a little slack these days, but he is still stuck before putting down the account book. The yamen had lunch Well, he wasn't on duty today, so he didn't stay. He said a few words to the colleague who was on duty, and then walked out of the yamen.

Who would have thought that as soon as he went out, he bumped into the carriage of King Beijing Jing.

Shui Rong hasn't come to the Yamen for a few days. First, his two little girls really need to be taken care of. Second, the envoys of several countries are now in the capital. After all, his household department is only helping out at the emperor's order. What he really needs to do is to wander among the dignitaries in the capital and play tricks of the surnamed Shui.

So Lin Mo was also taken aback for a moment.Ever since they made their words clear that day, they have maintained a tepid colleague relationship, and there have been fewer gossips, but when they talk, they deliberately keep a distance, which is very awkward.Although Lin Mo was used to detours, when he first came to the capital, he was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers and was always in the water. Now he is unfamiliar and polite, and he is not used to it.He wasn't afraid to say that he was as good as Long Yang, those pious people who raised a lot of actors at home, no matter how brave they were, they wouldn't dare to say too much.Lin Mo also cherishes his reputation, but it's just a small way in this respect, but he doesn't care about it.

It's just that since he had thought about it for a while, he should avoid it, so as not to think of the quietly burning ears that day, and the panic when he knew that he finally chose to stand on the side of Shuifu.

Lin Mo took two steps back, smiling brightly, "Your Majesty has met the King of Beijing."

Shui Rong opened the curtain of the carriage, and was shivered by the oncoming cold wind, and then saw Lin Mo standing upright in the wind, with a young man behind him holding an umbrella to shield him from the wind, and asked: "Wear Isn't it so cold?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he knew that he was meddling in his own business. Lin Mo would not feel wronged if he only had enough food and clothing. This kind of god would wear less, maybe he would lose weight again.A young man bowed to him, and he got out of the car with his back firmly on his back, and sighed: "It's time to go home on time."

Lin Mo was in a hurry to find Jing Ruinian, and didn't want to talk to him too much, but he didn't show it on his face, as if he wanted to make up for the fragrance of birds and flowers in the northwest wind: "It's rare to see the prince—how is my niece?" ?”

"Very good, thank you, Third Master Lin, for the prescription." Shui Rong coughed dryly.

"How can he be worthy of a prince's 'Master'? He's just a child. He prescribes a few prescriptions. It's better to follow the advice of the imperial hospital. After all, Che'er has little knowledge, and his niece and daughter are delicate, so I dare not let Che alone." You're here." Lin Mo rubbed his hands together, "It's also cold, and it seems that the prince is here for business, so why don't you talk in the air?"

Shui Rong lowered his eyelashes, he was very heroic, but it was rare, but he also showed a bit of gentleness, so he made a "please" gesture.Lin Mo was naturally not in the mood to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, but after a few polite words, he hurried into his carriage.

Suddenly, there was a coughing sound in Shui Rong's carriage, and Shui Rong took a look with his head: "Wang Da, are you alright?"

He didn't come alone, there was also an unexpected Wang Ziteng sitting in the car.

Wang Ziteng just saw that Shui Rong and Lin Mo were talking politely and felt that something was wrong. Although there were many rumors, these two should be avoided, but he is also a lake. What is polite and what is guarding each other can be fine. Can tell.Those two seem to be far from the rumored relationship.He rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "Perhaps he was caught in the wind. Fortunately, the prince didn't get in the car just now. I will give the prince a sickness, but it will cost the life of the old minister."

"Xiang Wang is clearly Zhe Xiaowang's birthday." Shui Rong pursed his lips and smiled, and stretched out his hand to call a hidden guard, "Song Xiang, follow Jing Yuanhou and see where he is going. If you are found, follow him generously."

He was so bright and upright that it opened Wang Ziteng's eyes: "My lord, this is—"

"Jingyuanhou is upright and upright, don't be afraid of these things." Shui Rong smiled, "It's possible that Wang Xiang will come here for nothing, and Cao Shangshu is not here today. Seeing that Lin Da is gone again—if Zuo Shilang is not, Even if you came personally, Prime Minister Wang, and the account book that the cabinet urgently needs to check, you didn't dare to adjust it."

Wang Ziteng frowned. Although the cabinet is the place where decisions are made, he really has no right to offside. If he had known this, he shouldn't have been greedy for cheap just now. He sat inside and didn't stop Lin Mo. ?”

"Little Wang's household department, I'm just helping, I don't dare to offside to manage affairs." Shui Rong's words "offside to manage affairs" were quite clear, "President Wang, let's go, let's go and see if Zuo Shilang is right."
