Jia Min's Counterattack

Jia Min and Lin Ruhai stayed in Jinling for three days after attending the wedding banquet of Zhen's family. During these three days, King Yan would go to Lin's house every day. The euphemistic name was to cultivate a relationship with his precious son.

During these few days in Jinling, Jia Min met several Zhuang heads in Jinling, including those from the Lin family and some from her dowry Zhuangzi.Jia Min had no choice but to go to see every Zhuangzi on the spot, so he asked the Zhuangtou to draw pictures of the Zhuangzi they were in charge of when they went back.After looking at the picture, Jia Min pointed out some areas that needed to be changed, such as planting mulberry trees in the mountains to raise silkworms.Soon the imperial decree to confer Jia Min as princess will arrive in Suzhou, when news will spread that she owns a seven-loom loom, then her silk and satin factory will need a large amount of silk in the spring of next year to supply goods.Another example is a Zhuangzi near the Yangtze River outside Jinling City. There are several small low-lying swamps. According to Zhuangtou, several small ponds will appear here every year during the rainy season.Jia Min asked Zhuangtou to dig several small ponds into a large lake according to the method Lin Ruhai sorted out. After digging, it was about [-] to [-] acres in size, and he also started to raise those aquatic products.There are also some Zhuangzi who have paddy fields that can be reclaimed, and they also asked Zhuangtou to find someone to open them before spring plowing.After this change, the income in Zhuangzi can be much higher than before, and the Zhuangtou are very happy to do it.

After the affairs in Jinling were settled, Lin Ruhai took Jia Min and his two sons to Suzhou.On the second day after they went back, two grandsons of the patriarch Lin's family who were studying in Xixi Academy came to ask for advice.

After Lin Ruhai passed the exams for the two of them, he asked them, "Are you two going to participate in the autumn round next year?"

Lin Zhuo replied respectfully: "Going back to Uncle Seven, it's my grandson who is going to try it out. The sixth brother is still young, and my grandfather means to let him wait until he ends three years later!"

"Well! Come over tomorrow and show me the article you wrote in the academy. Now it seems that if you end next year, you will have to work harder and be more confident. Xiaohu's studies are more solid than yours , but the vision is too narrow, it is best not to go to the academy to study next year, to travel outside, and then return to the academy to study will get twice the result with half the effort."

Lin Zhuo and Lin Hu looked at each other, and then thanked Lin Ruhai respectfully: "Thank you, Uncle Qi, my grandson will follow Uncle Qi's teachings carefully!"

"This is all my personal suggestion. You have to go back and discuss it with your grandfather and father."

"Yes! Grandson remembers it!" Lin Zhuo and Lin Hu asked Lin Ruhai some questions that they didn't understand, and Lin Ruhai patiently explained them to them.

After the two grandsons of the patriarch's family left, Lin Ruhai returned to Zhiyuan Hall.At that time, Jia Min was reading to his two sons.Seeing Lin Ruhai approaching, Lin Lang trotted up to Lin Ruhai, grabbed Lin Ruhai's robe and climbed up, Lin Ruhai stretched out his arms to hug Lin Lang.

"Daddy! Daddy! Mother said just now that Rong could make pears when he was four years old, and that Kong Rong would become a famous high-ranking official when he grew up. My favorite mother is given to Lu'er to hug, does it mean that Lang'er will be stronger than Kong Rong when he grows up!"

"Lang'er, don't talk nonsense, how can this be the same?" Jia Min frowned.

"Why is it different? Mother said that if you give up the things you love to someone who is younger than you, you are a good boy and you will definitely become a high official in the future. Then Lang'er loves mother most! Since I have Xun'er, Lang'er never robbed Xun'er of his mother, Lang'er is stronger than Daddy now, Daddy is not ashamed, and even robbed Xun'er of his mother!"

Jia Min and Lin Ruhai were taken aback when they heard this, Jia Min gave Lin Ruhai a hard look, and Lin Ruhai turned his head guiltily.After a while, Lin Ruhai explained to Lin Lang: "Lang'er, people can't be compared with things. Your mother is your closest person, and your father and younger brother are also your closest people, so you don't need to give up. Who, no one will snatch it from you, and no one can snatch it away. Do you understand?"

Lin Langwai's little head nodded half-understanding, and then asked, "Are you all from Lang'er?"

"We are all Lang'er's closest relatives, and also the people who love Lang'er the most, because we are a family, blood relatives, and we are each other's most important people."

"En! Lang'er understands! They are all Lang'er's relatives, so Lang'er will not let others!" Lin Lang raised his little chin and said with a smile.

On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiaowenzi arrived in Suzhou City on a fast boat.Lin Ruhai took Suzhou officials to the pier to meet Xiaowenzi and his party.

"My servant has met Master Lin! Greetings to Master Lin!" Xiao Wenzi stepped forward to salute Lin Ruhai when he saw Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai helped Xiaowenzi up and said, "Mr. Xiaowenzi has worked hard all the way, I have prepared a banquet at Zhenxiufang, and I am just waiting for you to arrive!"

"No need! Master Lin! This slave should read the imperial decree first!" Xiao Wenzi scratched his head embarrassedly.

Lin Ruhai approached Xiao Wenzi and said, "I have someone prepare your favorite pastries!"

Xiao Wenzi's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he nodded and pretended to be serious and said: "Then go to the yamen to read out the imperial decree to Mr. Lin, and then go to the mansion to announce the decree tomorrow morning!"

Lin Ruhai didn't expect that there was an imperial decree for him, so he was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Xiao Wenzi blinking at him, and he knew it, "Then go back to the Yamen first!" Said that this is going to walk together with Xiao Wenzi Go to the place where the carriage is parked.

"The imperial decree for you is that when the servant's ship arrives in Dezhou, the emperor sent someone to send it quickly!" Xiao Wenzi whispered to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai smiled without making a sound, this was a nod to Xiao Wenzi.

The officials behind Lin Ruhai looked at Xiao Wenzi who had a happy chat with Lin Ruhai, and wondered if the emperor was very satisfied with Lin Ruhai's achievements in Suzhou, and issued an imperial decree to reward Lin Ruhai!Seeing that the edict passers-by around the emperor were so respectful and affectionate towards Lin Ruhai, everyone must have praised the imperial edict.

After the imperial decree was read, the emperor not only rewarded Lin Ruhai with some things, the most important thing was that the emperor promoted Lin Ruhai to be the new prefect of Yingtian Mansion, and gave Lin Ruhai a three-month vacation to give the deceased Mrs. Lin is doing rituals for the tenth anniversary.Everyone was once again shocked by how much the emperor favored Lin Ruhai.

The next day, Xiaowenzi arrived at the old house of the Lin family with the imperial decree.In less than an hour, the news that Jia Min was conferred the title of princess due to his achievements in pond breeding and the contribution of the Qiluo loom blueprint spread throughout the entire city of Suzhou.Those who knew the whole story said that Lin Ruhai doted on his wife too much, gave Jia Min the credit for his hard work, and made Jia Min's rank higher than himself again.But those who didn't know were amazed at the good luck of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min,
