Jia Min's Counterattack

As the twelfth lunar month entered, everyone in the Lin family began to get busy.Jia Min has been pregnant for more than eight months, and still has to meet with the store manager and the head of the village every day, check and reconcile the accounts, and send New Year gifts to various acquaintances.Thanks to Wanmo, Liu Memo and the maidservants are all capable, otherwise she would really get sick from exhaustion.Lin Ruhai felt sorry for her, and would help her to read the account books every day when she came back from the office.

"Now I feel that there are too many properties in my family, and it may not be a good thing. This happens every year for a while, and even if I grow up, I can't keep busy!" Jia Min complained weakly.

"This is Lin Jiaming's public property and your dowry, and there are still many secret things that have not been handed over to you!" Lin Ruhai shook his head with a smile.

"Don't do it, I'm too busy with all this!"

"Don't worry, I don't want to make you tired. This is the first year you have married in this year, and many shopkeepers have never met, so they all chose to come here at the end of the year. Mistress! Next year you will see them separately, and let them send their gifts separately, so that you will not be so tired every month after you disperse."

"The way you said is good. I will ask Hongmei to sort it out tomorrow. Those who come from other places will come in the second half of the year, and those from the capital will come in the first half of the year. By the way, why does our family have so many properties? I read the roster, and there are There are a lot of real estate, not to mention those in the capital, there are six gardens in my hometown in Suzhou, there are also Jinling, Yangzhou, and Hangzhou, and there are more than a dozen gardens, large and small, and the annual maintenance cost is quite a lot of money."

"Hey! I also know that there are a lot of properties, but most of them are the dowries of mothers, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, wives-grandmothers, and old ancestors. Isn't this the only thing that has been handed down from generation to generation? They are all planted with precious flowers and medicinal materials, and the annual income is enough to cover the cost of maintenance."

"I thought, our family's gardens are also idle, so it's better to give some gardens to the students for free, so that they have a place to gather and meet friends."

"That's good, but now there's only one family of servants left in the garden to look after the garden. It's okay to plant flowers and plants, and clean the courtyard, but the rest is not enough!"

"That's not easy. Whoever is the host will be in charge. We only provide the venue and don't care about anything else."

Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment, "It is indeed feasible. This will also open up the situation for us in the Jiangnan area in advance, and it will also help us collect information. Min'er has helped me a lot again!" After finishing speaking, Lin Ruhai hugged Jia Min on her lips. I kissed hard.

Jia Min patted her with her hand, and glared at him with a blushing face, "The maid is still there..." She swept around the room, there was no one else, she felt ashamed when she thought that Yao Huang and the others had been appointed to watch her just now He patted Lin Ruhai twice more.Lin Ruhai laughed out loud.

The days are passing by quickly, and there are two more days before the stove sacrifice, and the emperor will seal the pen after the sacrifice to the stove, and the pen opening ceremony will be held on the first day of the next year.Considering that Lin Ruhai's family has no one to help, and Jia Min is the only one who supports the relationship, and Jia Min is about to give birth, it is really hard work, so the emperor allowed Lin Ruhai to take his annual leave in advance and let him go back to help Jia Min.Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were naturally grateful to the emperor, and Jia Min also prepared a lot of tea, snacks, and specialties produced by himself for Eunuch Shi to take to the emperor.

The emperor liked Jia Min's attitude of treating him like relatives and friends very much, and asked Eunuch Shi to send Jia Min the good leather he made during the winter hunting and various pastries made by the imperial dining room.

Lin Ruhai is very satisfied with Jia Min's behavior.In the previous life, Jia Min was deeply influenced by Jia's mother, her heart was not open enough, her vision was a little narrow, and she didn't feel comfortable doing things like she does now.Today, Jia Min has truly become his good helper. Not only does he not have to worry about the affairs of the house, she can also give Lin Ruhai good advice on some external matters, and she can deal with those official wives and honorable wives with ease. .Lin Ruhai couldn't help but sigh, Jia Min has changed so much after going through one lifetime!

On this day, Lin Ruhai was accompanying Jia Min to look over the account books of her dowry shop, when the servant at the front came to report that the fourth prince's mansion had come to give the New Year gift.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min looked at each other, seeing surprise and bewilderment in each other's eyes.Lin Ruhai didn't bother to think about it, so he changed his clothes and went to the side hall in the front yard.

The person who came was Eunuch Liao, the eunuch who was in charge of the fourth prince. Eunuch Liao was the old man of the fourth prince's birth mother, Concubine Jing. He had already known his fate. He saw Lin Ruhai and hurriedly saluted, "I have seen Master Lin!"

"Eunuch Liao, please hurry up, you can't afford to be a father-in-law like a sea of ​​burdens."

"Lord Lin is a Tanhua Lang handpicked by the emperor, and he works beside the emperor. It is right for an old slave to salute you." Eunuch Liao is a thin old man with white beard and hair, but his eyes are shining. Lin Ruhai knows this He is a very man of the city.After the death of Concubine Jing, he was able to protect the fourth prince in the palace and grow up safely, which shows his skillful means.

"Eunuch Liao is polite! Please sit down!"

The two sat down as guests and hosts, and the maid served tea again. Eunuch Liao drank two sips of hot tea and said, "Lord Lin, this old slave is here to give a New Year's gift to Lord Lin under the order of His Highness the Fourth Highness of my family. The gift slip." With that, Eunuch Liao took out the gift slip from his pocket and presented it to Lin Ruhai with both hands.

Lin Ruhai didn't immediately accept the gift list. He looked at Eunuch Liao for a moment and smiled and said, "Eunuch Liao is really in a dilemma. I have never had any contact with the princes, including His Royal Highness, so how can I accept the gift?"

Eunuch Liao was not annoyed, he just said: "Lord Lin is too worried! His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince just admires Lord Lin's talent, learning and character, and wants to make friends with you, but fortunately, you can give me some advice on homework."

"Eunuch Liao praised you absurdly. It is an honor for me to be loved by the fourth prince by mistake. However, I have little talent and learning, and I am just a talent. How can I have the face to point out the fourth prince? Please don't make jokes, Eunuch Liao!" Lin Ruhai looked helpless Expressive way.

Eunuch Liao didn't expect that Lin Ruhai's face would turn ugly because of being so shameless. He was silent for a moment, and said in a cold tone: "Master Lin is going to be a father soon, and he will soon experience the happiness of being a father. Don't be impulsive. Ruined this happiness!"

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai stood up angrily, staring at Eunuch Liao's eyes as if there were countless ice needles, which made Eunuch Liao shudder. He had never seen a literati like Lin Ruhai, who seemed to have a real murderous look. He regretted the threat he made to Lin Ruhai just now.

"Eunuch Liao, it's better to leave, Lin Xinglin'an, lead someone to throw all the things that Eunuch Liao brought out of the gate for me!"

"You...you..." Eunuch Liao was so angry that he couldn't speak. He never thought that Lin Ruhai would dare to slap the Fourth Prince in the face like this. In this way, the whole capital would know about it before tomorrow.
