The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Rong Jia obediently changed the cup of tea for Shui Rong, and went to play with her hands down.Shui Rong took a sip before saying: "I don't think that Jia can help you, a first-class general who can't afford a woman, all day long he can't do anything but play in his own three-acre land. Prestige, what else could be good?"

"Buy a woman?" Lin Mo asked, "I don't see him very often, and I know that his family has a lot of wives and concubines, so is it necessary to buy a woman?"

"A wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a thief. How do you know what those people think?" Shui Rong actually didn't quite understand it himself. Women are creatures that he can't avoid, and the young man really lacks that taste. It's not as good as the son of a family, the skin is white and the inside is whiter, so it's interesting to play with.He suddenly thought of Jia Baoyu who had been a little interested, and then glanced at Jia Baoyu's "cousin", and shuddered suddenly.

Those two masters are not very outstanding in terms of appearance, but I don't know why Lin Mo was born with such a disastrous face.

Sick beauties have always been beautiful, like Liu Xiangru, the weaker the stronger, the whole person reveals a fierceness in his bones, which cannot be concealed by his words and deeds, or an indescribable weakness due to illness The beauty comes and makes people feel pity.It is very rare that Lin Mo is like Lin Mo, who can be so leisurely and quiet when he is sick that even a visiting person can feel calm.

"Your Majesty asked about your body." Shui Rong said leisurely.

"Is it His Majesty or the Third Highness?" Lin Mo replied.

"I've asked you all." Shui Rong laughed, "It seems that Jing Yuanhou, who is concentrating on recuperating his illness, doesn't know how many people are watching his body, right? The left court judge of the Imperial Hospital is not going to ask the imperial concubine to be safe now. I have a pulse, and I specialize in studying your condition. The quack doctor said that you caught cold in the summer when you were a child, so the root cause of the disease fell. The spleen, stomach, heart and lungs have been recuperated well in the past few years, so I didn’t realize it. But this time you got angry. , coupled with overwork, he coughed up a mouthful of blood."

What I said to the doctor at home is the same truth. In fact, Lin Mo still doesn’t understand how he can catch the cold in the scorching heat. Before he was seven years old, he thought of inheriting the mantle of his husband and becoming a man who can travel thousands of miles and travel thousands of miles. A doctor of medicine, heals the sick and saves the patient, maybe he can also learn some fists and kicks, and do chivalry by the way, just like those people in the storybook.But after the age of seven, he became less concerned about the technique of Qihuang, and simply put aside the sword, spear, sword and halberd.

Studying, taking exams, being an official, saving people.

And where did he come from, why was he abandoned by his biological parents, why did he catch the cold, these questions that were originally very important were even more thrown into the back of his mind.

Compared with the 27 lives of the Lin family, those are not important at all.Compared with the people who the Lin family was unable to save in Shanxi, they were even more unimportant.

After Shui Rong finished speaking, pay attention to Lin Mo's expression. Most people always think about why they contracted this disease when they hear this, but Lin Mo's expression is as if he didn't hear anything. Jia: "You didn't make the tea like this. Although my tea is not very good, I can't bear it like you spoil it."

"Didn't my cousin never love these elegant things? He once said that you don't know how to drink tea, but you only know that the bitterer the tea, the more you will wake up, the more you like it." Rong Jia muttered.

"But it's so hot, what are you going to do? Can you drink it?" Lin Mo glared at him.

Rong Jia thought he was difficult to serve, so he ran out to find Wenyin and Wenqin.

"Princess He Hui also asked about it. I think she is probably worried about your marriage with Lord Jingning, isn't it too far away?" Shui Rong looked at him teasingly, "If the groom is sick, After all, it's not very good. But I looked at it, and you don't seem to be too sick? Your face is not bad. I have never seen a patient like you. I see people on weekdays, even if the disease is not serious. Bravery. Did you see that Liu Xiangru last year? Everyone said that he didn't have a few years to live, but he never said he was sick. How long has he been in the Imperial Academy now? The emperor appreciates it, probably It's going to be released."

Lin Mo sighed, "Of course I can't compare with him. I'm especially afraid of death."

If there is anyone who is ashamed of himself, then Liu Xiangru is undoubtedly one.

"My lord, I don't know which woman my uncle wants to buy?" He suddenly laughed.

Shui Rong yelled bad luck for Jia Amnesty from the bottom of his heart.

To put it bluntly, Lin Mo's illness was nothing serious, he was just doing it himself.Now that he has put on airs enough, he has established his prestige in the household department, and Shui Fu has been given to others. I heard that Cao Shangshu was also scolded by the emperor.Even Princess Hehui said good things - this is a good thing, if he wants to teach Kong Jingxian in the future, the support of the princess is indispensable.Then there was no need to call him sick, so he packed up and went to work.

After recuperating from a bout of illness, his originally pale face completely recovered its blood color, and his whole body also grew some flesh, and he dressed up in an official uniform more decently, with a smile on his face, making Shui Fu lose his temper: "Have you played enough temper now?"

"Before I came, my sister reminded me to bring over the handkerchief that wiped the blood at that time, so that the officers could see how hard I worked. I really regret that I didn't listen to her." Now that His Royal Highness said Sincerity, of course Lin Mo has to put down his face, Shui Fu is a smart man, he has been labeled as the third prince's faction no matter what, and if he can't get rid of it, he might as well find a comfortable seat for himself.

Shui Fu was also amused by him: "I never knew you were so stingy, originally I didn't think carefully, but now Lu Zhongsi and Lu Pingsi are under my control, they are good at accounting , and thoughtful, I'm sure I can help you a lot." When it was time to express sincerity, Shui Rong was always generous.

Lin Mo glanced left and right, and said softly: "Your Highness knows about it. I'm investigating this matter now. They have made the accounts so neatly that other people can't see the difference. Since they have the guts to say that they have made no mistakes at all. No, of course I’m sure, I once spent four days thoroughly checking the account book they handed in, and it was really clean.”

Shui Fu smiled: "Seventh brother is now working in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. This case was originally passed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Because of the emperor's grandfather's birthday, Zhen Yingjia was finally reinstated. Seventh brother was just like you at that time, and even vomited a mouthful of blood." But he didn't say anything to anyone. The emperor's grandfather also accused him of not being generous enough."

The Seventh Prince's mother and concubine were not of high birth and died young. I don't know if it is because of this that they have become shy. Maybe people with similar temperaments are easy to get close to. Shui Fu is not very close to His Royal Highness Qi Wang who was born by his own mother. His Highness can talk to one place.The two brothers both have some unreasonable persistence in investigating cases. Some people even whispered that if His Highness the Seventh Prince was not born in the royal family, maybe the chapter on the cruel officials in the history books would have his name.

Lin Mo nodded and smiled.The most concerned about the Jiangnan salt case is naturally the current emperor. After all, salt transportation can almost be regarded as the foundation of the entire dynasty's operations.Salt officials let private salt run rampant, and even disregarded the laws of the country for a little bribe. Except for those mediocre monarchs who have been dazzled by good words, no emperor can tolerate it.

Although Lin Mo pays more attention to the corruption of disaster banks, it is obvious that for the authorities, the disaster that has passed for a long time has become a thing of the past. Even the word "natural disaster" may still be a warning. All in all, it is not glorious matter.Or the foundation of the national treasury is more important now,

The biggest advantage of Shui Fu's master is that he also cares about this case. In exchange, Lin Mo will push him to a position high enough to intervene in the affairs of the Ministry of Accounts and the Ministry of Criminal Justice——

The seat that all the princes secretly fight for.

Cao Shangshu really wanted to give Lin Mo the head to eat and eat for causing him to be punished, but he really didn't have the courage, so he stayed in the room where Lin Mo was working for a while, sent many people to him, and said "Jing "Yuanhou", Cao Shangshu suddenly remembered that this young servant who came from the fifth generation Liehou Lin's family had a profound background.

He could only rub his fleshy hands together, and asked with a smile, "Is Jingyuan Hou safe?"

"Master Shangshu is serious." Lin Mo saluted respectfully, "I can't afford to be an official." Cao Shangshu looked at him with a smile, and said, "I look much better now. You young people just like to work hard. When we arrive I already know at this age that nothing is as important as my own body. Otherwise, you will regret something in the future." Lin Mo smiled and said, "Master Shang Shu taught me the lesson. I know I was wrong."

Cao Shangshu saw him differently.Whether it's true or false, Lin Mo's ability to put his posture so low in front of him is a manifestation of his attitude.He has rarely seen such a calm young man.It's no wonder that the emperor likes him, and His Highness the Third Highness also thinks highly of him.So his tone slowed down a bit: "Some things, it's not that I don't make it easier for you, but I really can't control them. Don't blame me, these things will be a big trouble if you get your hands on them. The third prince has a hard foundation. He is Not afraid, are you not afraid?"

"Who can't be afraid? But if you stop because of fear, how can I be worthy of the salary His Majesty gave me?"

"Young man." Cao Shangshu gave him a meaningful look, and walked away.

Lin Mo sent his boss away respectfully with a smile on his face, and then slumped on a chair. What Cao Shangshu said was that he did not have the background of His Highness the Third Highness. He was nothing. The Emperor loves him now because he knows the times and has a good personality They can still do things, but if they really continue to investigate thoroughly in the future and offend someone, someone must be pushed out to take everything down.

This person is definitely not the Third Highness.

But they need the truth.Those who have died needlessly need it, those who cannot afford salt need it, and especially those who are about to lose their living.

A scholar dies for his confidant, there is not much he can do, and the four words of pleading for the people are enough for him to carry out the Lin family's family motto to the end.It's just that I feel unwilling in the end.

He opened the ledger, couldn't explain his emotions clearly, so he could only dip in the thick ink and write down a few words stroke by stroke.

Bow down and die.
