Lin Ji's struggling life

Just when Jia's mother was shocked by the news brought by Lin Ji, there was a sudden commotion at the door, and Lai everyone hurried over, saying that a eunuch had come to the palace.As a result, a group of Hulala people began to flock to the front hall in a hurry, and even Lin Ji was taken there.

It turns out that the person here is the eunuch Xiao Xia who has always been in contact with Jia's mansion. Lai Da is dealing with him. When Lin Ji and the others arrive, the eunuch Xiao Xia has already left.When Lai Da saw the old lady, he hurriedly reported: "Just now, the little father-in-law Xia came to Daoxi, and said that the eldest girl of our family was named Fengzao Palace Shangshu and Xiande Concubine. And there will be an imperial decree later, and Daddy The girl has obtained the imperial decree, allowing Luan to enter our private residence, old lady, this is a great joy, you must hurry up and prepare!"

This is a great joy for the entire East and West, Concubine Feng!This means that the eldest daughter of his family has officially stepped into the power center of the harem, and since ancient times, few concubines have been able to go out of the palace to visit their relatives. If they did not respect the eldest daughter's natal family, the emperor would not order to visit her relatives.

Mrs. Jia was almost stunned by the good news, so she said that Yuanchun is the most promising girl in the family, and she has a good life and takes up all the time.Back then, she and her second daughter-in-law went to ask the Taoist priest of Qingxu Temple, but they said that Yuanchun of their family was destined to enjoy great wealth, so they had the heart to send her to the palace.

Originally, Yuan Chun was just a female historian, in charge of the empress's ceremonial duties, but now she can have such a great fortune, and the whole family is very happy.

Mother Jia ordered people to give rewards to everyone, and went back to the yard to change into court clothes, ready to enter the palace to thank you.And the second lady is naturally smiling so hard that she can't see her teeth. Now she is only a fifth-rank pleasant, but relying on Yuan Chun in the future, she might be able to become a first-rank wife Dangdang.Thinking of her, he couldn't help the smile on his face, and his attitude towards Lin Ji and Lin Daiyu also improved a lot.

Everyone dispersed, Lin Ji took Qingqing to the Leisurely Pavilion, but Sanchun and Xiangyun did not leave, they were still chatting in the flower hall of Jiamu's courtyard.To say that this is also a happy event for the entire Rongning and Ningfu, the big guys are all overjoyed, all of them are proud, and Shi Xiangyun is also listening behind.

"According to the situation, the old lady can't take care of you for the time being. Hurry up and clean up. I'll pick you up tomorrow." Lin Ji said with a smile, holding Qingqing with one hand and stroking Lin Daiyu's head with the other.

Lin Daiyu patted his hand away with a slap, "It's said that she is a big girl, I hate it." She took Qingqing's hand, "Qingqing, sister will take you to play in the flower hall?"

Qingqing shook her head like a rattle, "No, Qingqing wants her brother." She held Lin Ji's hand tightly, afraid of being pulled away.

Everyone was a little astonished, Qingming was very attached to Lin Daiyu, the older sister was older and the younger sister was shorter, why did they suddenly have a split?

Lin Ji bent down to pick her up, and asked innocently, "Why don't you go play with my sister, there are many toys you like, and my sister has prepared a gift for you." He was also a little curious.

"She hits my brother, she's not good." Qingqing took Lin Ji's hand, put it to her mouth and yelled, "Painful Feifei!"

Seeing such an innocent and lovely child making this gesture, Lin Ji suddenly didn't know how to react, and couldn't teach him.Filled with joy, he hugged Qingqing even tighter, and explained: "Qingqing is so good, she deserves to be my brother's caring little padded jacket. But my sister didn't do it on purpose, she was just joking, let's play with my sister." A group of people went to the flower hall while talking and laughing, Lin Daiyu was still muttering in her heart, how long did it take for the new sister's heart to be captured by her brother.

Sure enough, on the second day when Lin Ji came to Jia's mansion, he received Lin Daiyu smoothly. The old lady Jia repeatedly asked Lin Daiyu to come and see her often.Of course, if you live in the capital together and are relatives, you can still walk around, so you don't need to be too stupid.

Taking advantage of Jia Baoyu's time in ethnology, Lin Ji took Lin Daiyu straight to the Lin family.

The toys in Tongluo Courtyard are also very attractive to Lin Daiyu. She often spends time in Tongluo Courtyard under the pretext of teaching her younger sister, and sometimes even stays there.In this way, Lin Daiyu and Qingqing quickly became familiar with each other.When Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing in September, the three brothers and sisters were like glue (this adjective is not good).

The construction project of the Grand View Garden in Jia's Mansion was officially finalized, and Lin Ji also came to the pier to meet his father on this day.There were not many people at Guandao Wharf, and Lin Ji was standing on the side of the wharf waiting under the sun of the autumn tiger. From a distance, he saw a gorgeous official ship slowly approaching.

I haven't seen him for a long time, but Lin Ruhai has grown a little gray hair, his face is a little haggard, the beard on his chin is short, and he is no longer as handsome as before.Jiangnan was busy with affairs, and he lost a lot of weight. Seeing him, Lin Ji walked forward quickly, and couldn't help but put his arms around this man.

Xu was startled by this action, Lin Ruhai couldn't recover for a long time, coughed and pushed him away after a while, and followed Lin Butler into the carriage, while muttering: "You are such a big child, you have a title, and you are also an adult , and still so unsteady. How decent is it to hug and hug in public."

Lin Ji laughed while listening.I haven't seen you for a long time, but when I saw it suddenly, I realized that I miss you so much.The word father was unfamiliar to him at first, but now it has become an indispensable part of his life.Maybe in the future, this role will be more meaningful, and when he becomes a father, he may be able to experience more hardships and hardships, and maybe he still has responsibilities.

"You can take off your clothes next month. Have you started preparing for your marriage?" Lin Ruhai sat on the carriage and rested with his eyes closed, but his mouth didn't stop.

Lin Ji thought for a while, "Leave the matter of getting rid of clothes to Steward Lin. As for the preparations for my marriage, I leave it to Ruo Liu to arrange. She has some experience, and she is taught by Mother Xu." Come on, there should be no problem." Madam Xu is an old nanny sent by Zhang Ying, who has a lot of research on weddings and funerals, and she is the one who consulted for the preparations this time.

"That's good, and I don't have to worry about my father. When I was in Jiangnan, I often thought about what to do if no one asked me. Now that you have arranged everything in an orderly manner, I feel relieved." Lin Ruhai also thought about asking for help. Jixian, his sons and daughters are still young, and in the future, there will be someone to take care of the family affairs.Fortunately, before he could act in the future, his son's marriage decree came down.Let's not talk about how people are, at least after entering the door, there are people who ask about all kinds of trivial matters, which is also good.

Lin Ji curled his lips. He didn't believe that Lin Ruhai would be so worried. The letters between him and Lin Butler were written every three days, and Lin Ruhai knew exactly what was going on at home.

"I see that my father has lost a lot of weight, and he needs to take a good rest when he returns to Beijing." He said, "I think it's still the feng shui of the capital to support people. This Yu'er Qing'er has grown a lot since she came to the capital, so my father should also take care of himself." Yangyang, we are all looking forward to you."

The father and son chatted and then arrived at the Lin's house. Lin Daiyu took Qingqing and waited in the porch. When Lin Ruhai came in, Lin Daiyu rushed over and hugged him.When Qingqing saw her sister like this, she also rushed over with her little fat legs, crashing into the space between the two of them like a cannonball.

Lin Ruhai squatted down, touched Qingqing's face and studied it carefully, and she really felt fatter. "Does Qingqing remember Daddy?" He looked at Qingqing's braid and asked, seeing that the originally withered, yellow and thin hair was much stronger, and he was very happy.

"Remember, you are Daddy Hai." She called Lin Ruhai Daddy in a long baby voice, Lin Ruhai's heart sank when she heard it, and when she hugged her, she just called her baby heart.

After the family enjoyed their lunch happily, Lin Ruhai entered the palace.Kangxi ordered him to return to Beijing for his post, because the minister of the Ministry of Industry was ill a few days ago, and he was getting old, so he resigned and returned to his hometown. Naturally, there were candidates in the court, but Emperor Kangxi still preferred Lin Ruhai.He did not hesitate to send someone to take his place, called him back to Beijing, promoted him two levels, and made him the left servant of the Ministry of Industry.

Now it's not the time for officials to change positions, he is only a temporary substitute, and after the new year, he can be granted the seal and really take office.Lin Ruhai didn't mind either, he accepted the transfer order happily, and kowtowed to the emperor several times before getting up.

"Lin Aiqing doesn't need to be like this. You are also a talented person. Now I just put you in a suitable position. I only hope that you can guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and work hard for the court in the Ministry of Industry." Kangxi and Lin Ruhai are also old acquaintances. The relationship is not very deep, but it is better than the average person.

"I thank the Lord for your kindness!" Lin Ruhai bowed again, "Your Majesty will not give up, and I will do my best to serve the court."

"Okay, I won't say any more polite words. I came to you this time because I have something to discuss with you. What are you going to do about Antai's marriage?" It wasn't that he dreamed about Fang Lin a few days ago, but his good buddy said that he wanted to see his son grow up safely, get married and have a son, and inherit the incense of Lin Fang's family.

It was rare for Kangxi to dream of him once, so he naturally paid attention to him.After waking up, I began to pay close attention to this matter.

"It's all up to the emperor!" Lin Ruhai had heard from Lin Ji a long time ago that Kangxi wanted the Ministry of Rites to undertake the wedding.At this time, he would naturally not spoil Kangxi's interest, and he would only agree with any of his ideas, and there would be no objection.

"Then arrange it according to my idea." Kangxi stroked his beard in satisfaction. It was the second time he cared so much about such a thing. The last time was when the prince got married, but now it's here with Lin Ji.

The Jia Mansion on the other side is also very lively. The Grand View Garden is going to be built, and there is naturally a place. The two mansions in the east and the west almost occupy the entire street, and you can draw a piece of it anywhere.This is a great joy for the two governments, so naturally they have to cooperate.

On this day, under the auspices of Mrs. Jia, prominent people from the eastern and western prefectures gathered in her yard to discuss the construction cost of the Grand View Garden.

Among the participants, the only outsider was Mother Xue. Of course, she did not do it voluntarily, but her sister, Mrs. Wang, strongly invited her to come.Helpless, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, so she had no choice but to follow.When everyone gave away their money one after another, she was naturally embarrassed and didn't say anything, and she should have gone out for 2 taels at once, and she was so distressed that she twitched.

Of course, Mrs. Qian Wang wanted to give her an IOU, and even hinted that she would pay Baoyu's marriage in return.Regardless of these entanglements, in short, the cost of the Grand View Garden has been settled.
