When the crimson bead grass is watered to death

Wang Ziteng didn't know what to think. It stands to reason that Mrs. Wang has gone. He really has no friendship with the Lin family, but he still has the cheek to make friends.

The news was obtained in advance, so the Lin family had just received the decree on the front foot, and Wang Ziteng sent people to congratulate him on the back foot.

The congratulatory gifts were all rare books, which could win Lin Ruhai's heart more than gold and silver.

But Lin Ruhai just expressed his gratitude, and the gift was confiscated.

"Master, this is just a wish from our master, please take a look." The person who came to give the gift was Wang Ziteng's personal bodyguard, which shows that Wang Ziteng attaches great importance to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai smiled, "What kind of virtue and ability is Mr. Lin, I can't stand Lord Wang's kindness."

Without saying anything polite, Lin Ruhai directly refused.

They are all old foxes, so there is no need to play Liaozhai.

Wang Ziteng came to show his goodwill immediately after the imperial decree was issued, but it was just an olive branch to Lin Ruhai, which also proved that his royal family had the strength to predict the holy will.

Lin Ruhai can't do anything about the alliance. The reason why Lin Ruhai can be valued by the emperor is that the key point is that Lin Ruhai's master is only the current emperor, and he will never form a clique.

So in Lin Ruhai's view, the Wang family didn't come to form an alliance, but to push him to make the emperor lose trust in him.

Although he is not in court, Lin Ruhai's thoughts are comparable to those of those old foxes, but such tricks cannot be hidden from him.

It is not clear what the Wang family is planning and what team Lin Ruhai is on. The only thing Lin Ruhai knows is that the Wang family must stay away.

No matter how shameless he was, Lin Ruhai also confiscated the gift from the Wang family.

Politely dismissed the members of the Wang family.

Such an approach was also expected by Wang Ziteng.

Just after one wave of people left, another wave of people came, and the Lin family was really bustling like never before.

The person who came this time was also an acquaintance, the Xue family from Jinling.

Coincidentally, Xue Pan came to Yangzhou to buy some things. After the Chinese New Year, the food and clothing in the palace will be updated, and Xue's family, who are imperial merchants, are busy.

All the women in the palace like Yangzhou satin, so Xue Pan came to Yangzhou's firm to have a look.

I have to say that Xue Pan is really hardworking.

If you really believe it, you are too naive. Xue Pan said that he came to do something, but it was just a cover.

A few days ago, Xue Pan got into another catastrophe, beating a squire to death for a woman named Feng Yuan.

The Xue family spent a lot of money to buy off the people in the government, Xue Pan was fine now, and found someone to cover it.

When I left, I didn't forget to take the little lady with me.

She is a little girl, rather than a little girl, not a few years older than Daiyu, and very tender.

However, Xue Pan has not committed any problems these days. He likes yellow-haired girls, and he wants to keep them by his side for a few years, so that they will be "cooked" and delicious.

This girl is named Xiangling.

This year, the Royal Merchant may have to change people, and various chambers of commerce are vying for it.

In the past, relying on being a prince, the Xue family's status as a royal merchant did not have to worry about being snatched away by others, but this year is different.

Aunt Xue didn't know what happened to Wang Ziteng, since Mrs. Wang left a while ago, he began to alienate Aunt Xue, and the Jia family too, and now they have no contact at all.

Aunt Xue gave Wang Ziteng a few silver coins for the sake of the Emperor's business, but what was unusual was that he didn't take any money and returned all of it.

Aunt Xue is also capable. I don't know where I got the news that Lin Ruhai has been valued by the emperor and will be promoted soon. It just so happens that Xue Pan, a troublemaker, caused trouble. Aunt Xue let Xue Pan go. Yangzhou came to take refuge, and by the way, he was so infatuated with the Lin family that he could be regarded as a relative.

Xue Pan handed over a post asking to see.

Lin Ruhai felt helpless looking at the invitations one after another.

"Daddy, who is coming again?" Daiyu walked over. The threshold of Lin's family has been smoothed out these days, and I don't know where I got the news from, everyone is rushing forward Ingratiate himself with the Lin family.

Looking at her daughter, Lin Ruhai's irritable mood improved a lot. Lin Ruhai, who usually has a poker face, always smiles dotingly whenever he sees Lin Daiyu.

"The Xue family in Jinling is considered to be relatives." Lin Ruhai put the invitation card just presented on the table.

Yu Li, someone from Xue's family is here to see him.

When Daiyu heard the word Xue's family, her heart still fluctuated a little.

When mentioning the Xue family, the first reaction is Xue Baochai, the two of them were good sisters in the previous life, but Xue Baochai...

Don't want to.

Daiyu shook her little head, telling herself not to bring in the emotions of her previous life.

"Master, the young master of the Xue family is waiting outside the door." The servant came to report, if the master of a rich family came, the servant would inform Lin Ruhai.

Unexpectedly, Xue Pan would come, Lin Ruhai thought that Xue's family also sent servants to give gifts.

Now that Xue Pan is here, it's even worse if Lin Ruhai doesn't see him.

Although Lin Ruhai doesn't collude with the party, he still has to do some things in the officialdom. For example, he wants to see the visitors from the Wang family, but he can't accept the gift.

The same goes for the Xue family.

Daiyu blinked and looked outside the door, the quiet courtyard was very noisy now.

Lin Ruhai could tell what her daughter was thinking at a glance. Since she was a child, Daiyu didn't like making noise.

"The door will be closed tomorrow, saying that I am unwell and cannot see guests." Lin Ruhai said to the servant.

Daiyu turned to look at Lin Ruhai, "Daddy is in good health."

Hearing what Daiyu said, Lin Ruhai couldn't help laughing. What his daughter hates to hear most is poor health.

It seems that saying that you are not in good health is cursing yourself.

"My father is in good health, very good." Lin Ruhai said quickly.

In this way, Daiyu is satisfied.

Even if it was an excuse, Daiyu didn't want to hear her father say that she was not in good health.

"Daddy, there will be guests later, Yu'er will go back to the courtyard first, and I have boiled medicinal food for lunch, Daddy still remembers to drink it." When she said this, Daiyu looked like a little adult.

Lin Ruhai nodded, "Okay, okay, I will never forget it as a father." Regarding Daiyu's filial piety, even the unpalatable "medicinal diet" Lin Ruhai drank as delicious as honey.

With Lin Ruhai's order, the servant let Xue Pan in.

"Greetings to Uncle Lin." Xue Pan saluted carelessly, "It's the first time we meet, please carry the gift up for me!" Xue Pan waved his hands, and several servants carried the gift in. Some hard guys.

Xue Pan's eyebrows were raised, and he looked rich and powerful, which was used to by Aunt Xue, and the stink problem could not be changed for a while.

To be honest, if Aunt Xue hadn't asked Xue Pan to come here, Xue Pan wouldn't have come to the Lin Mansion. In his eyes, wouldn't he be an inspector and censor? What's there to visit?

Xue Pan entered the door, and Xiang Ling followed behind with her head bowed, just in front of and behind Daiyu's feet, and Daiyu saw Xiangling at a glance.
