[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family
Chapter 90
Huang Zhuang looked at the yellow shoes that were obsessed with making equipment, a flash of relief flashed in his eyes, he smiled, and shook his head to reject Pippi's invitation: "Young master, Caomin just came to see my father. Now that he is new here, Caomin must settle his family down as soon as possible , won’t stay here anymore.”
Huang Lu, who was busy comparing the data, suddenly raised his head: "Are you leaving?"
Huang Zhuang was a little surprised, but still nodded: "Son, since you have only just arrived in the capital, you not only need to be busy with arranging for your wife and children, but also go to other places to inquire about news. I am a big man, so I can't rely on your father to support me alone? "
Before coming here, the steward of the Lin family told about Huang Lu's treatment in the Lin family. He was shocked in his heart, because he never thought that Huang Lu could really get the favor of the nobleman by relying on those things that were completely useless in his opinion. He valued it, and was even willing to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to find him as an unfilial son in order to win over his father. Afterwards, facing his big family, he didn't hesitate at all, and directly took his whole family to the capital.
But even so, he couldn't let his father and the Lin family take care of them for his father's sake with peace of mind.
Maybe my father didn't think too much about it, but he often dealt with these powerful people before. He knew very well that the importance of these people was only temporary. Once his father could not bring benefits to the Lin family, the Lin family would definitely turn their backs and deny them.
Huang Lu is already very old. If other people were at this age, they would have already recuperated at home and started spoiling their grandchildren.
The Lin family has signed a contract with his father, and he cannot break the contract at the risk of offending the Lin family.Even if his father could really bring enough benefits to the Lin family, at Huang Lu's age, it was not certain that he would be able to serve the Lin family for a few more years.
But he has to be ready.
As long as he has a firm foothold in the capital, even if his father is abandoned by the Lin family, he will still be able to take him home to take care of him.
Huang Lu didn't know that in just a few moments, countless thoughts passed through his son's mind.He looked a little disappointed, but he also knew that what Huang Zhuang said was reasonable, so he nodded: "Then you go back and settle Liu Shi and others well."
After speaking, he bowed his head and continued with the work in hand.
But for some reason, Huang Lu's mind was muddled. He always felt that he had forgotten something and could not concentrate on his work at all.
Huang Zhuang bid farewell to Pippi and Zhuzhu who had been watching him talking to Huang Lu, and then turned and left.
"Zhuang'er, wait a minute." Huang Lu suddenly said.
Huang Zhuang turned around suspiciously: "Father, is there anything I need my son to do?"
Huang Lu got up and staggered to the compartment of the room—in order to be able to study the equipment he was interested in anytime and anywhere, Huang Lu directly changed the compartment into a bedroom—after a while, he handed a wooden box to the In Huang Zhuang's hand: "This is my monthly silver for the past few months. You must have a lot of places to spend money when you first arrive in the capital. This is for you. If you don't want to trouble Butler Lin, don't bother."
Huang Zhuang was a little puzzled, thinking that the Lin family treated him badly.
He knew his father very well, except for the "extraordinary obscene skills" that he was interested in, he seldom noticed other people's sophistication.He actually asked himself to trouble the housekeeper Lin as little as possible, Huang Zhuang could only wonder if the Lin family's attitude towards his father was not as good as it seemed.
Even, the relationship between the father and the Lin family may have other secrets.
However, Huang Lu quietly pulled Huang Zhuang aside, and whispered: "Everyone in Marquis Wen'an's residence is a bit stupid. We can't just take advantage of others because of their kindness."
Huang Zhuang: "..."
"Then why did you still ask the Lin family to find me, and even bring our family to the capital?" Huang Zhuang was almost speechless. Although he didn't know much about the head of the Lin family, he only had the reputation of the head of the Lin family, Lin Ruhai, and the Lin family's reputation over the years. From the decisions the bookstore has made over the years and the money it has earned, it can be seen that Lin Tanhua is not a good match——
Even if he is not a businessman whose interests are paramount, he cannot be a pure literati who does not care about money.
But for such a person, his father actually thinks the other person is stupid?Who is that stupid!
After thinking about it, he felt that Lin Tanhua might be a bit stupid, otherwise he couldn't value his father so much, and it couldn't be explained by just being kind; but his father would only be more stupid.
The lord who made the decision and the subordinates he had high hopes for were both stupid. Why did he think that if they were put together, they would be yellow no matter what they did?
Huang Zhuang kept silent, thinking that Huang Lu, who thought he was not happy, was upset: "Stretch out your hand!"
Huang Zhuang stretched out his hand subconsciously.
"Snapped--"
Huang Zhuang lowered his head in astonishment, looking at the palms that were gradually turning red, he was stunned: "Father, my son has reached the age of forty, why do you still use a ruler to hit the palm of his son?"
Huang Lu tapped his palm a few more times, "As long as you are my son, no matter how old you are, I can beat you!"
Huang Zhuang: "..."
"Hurry up and go back with the money, don't disturb Butler Lin, you know?"
Huang Zhuang nodded blankly.
Huang Lu got the answer he wanted, turned around and went back to his seat to sit down.
"嗖", "嗖", Pippi and Zhuzhu, the two children who saw their father beating their son with a ruler for the first time, were already frightened.Now, in the eyes of the two children, Huang Lu is no longer the kind grandpa who can make toys for them, but has become a bad guy who can beat people at any time.
Especially Huang Lu's sentence "As long as you are my son, no matter how old you are, I can beat you", which scared the two children.
"Brother, I'm not Daddy's son, so Daddy won't beat me?"
Zhuzhu looked at Pippi with a look of fear.
Pippi: "..."
"Wow... Pippi don't want to be Daddy's son!"
Just at this time, Lin Ruhai and his wife who went to attend the opening of the movie theater came back.Because the movie theater was in good business today, the two of them went straight to Huang Lu's workshop in the ghost factory after paying their respects to Mother Lin.
Then, he listened to Pippi's words word for word.
Lin Ruhai: "...Xian'er, what did you just say?"
When Pippi saw Lin Ruhai, he cried even harder. He was afraid and anxious: "Daddy, Pippi wants to be your daughter too."
Lin Ruhai: "..."
Jia Shu and Lin Ruhai questioned for a long time before they found out from the mouths of the two children why they were crying and why they were so afraid of being Lin Ruhai's "son".
But children's thoughts are inherently wild and there is no rule. Don't say that they don't want to be Lin Ruhai's son because of a word, even if they want to have children to be parents or marry other children because of a word, it is perfectly normal.
Because the two children were a little afraid of Lin Ruhai now, Jia Shu could only hug the two children to a corner to comfort him.
Lin Ruhai stood alone in the middle of the house, and next to them were the yellow shoes who felt that they had no responsibility after they came, so they devoted themselves to the research of new machines.
Lin Ruhai: "..." Miserably miserable.
-
Fortunately, the two children have reached the age of being able to reason, and they are very close and trusting to Jia Shu. It didn't take long for the two of them to become intimate with Lin Ruhai again.
But also because of this small change, Lin Ruhai began to deliberately pay attention to the relationship between himself and the two children.
Then, he found that although the two children were close to him, they were still a little strange compared to Jia Shu.Lin Ruhai believed that if they heard the "mother beating daughter" version of the dialogue today, the two children would never have any reaction.
This is also because I spend too little time with my two children.
Lin Ruhai secretly shortened the on-duty time by an hour, and decided to go home one day earlier every day.
It's just that when he came back early the next day, he found that Lin's mother, Jia Shu and their two children were not at home.
Lin Ruhai asked suspiciously: "Where are the madam and the others?"
"Back to the master, the old lady and the wife and the young lady and the young master went out early in the morning, saying that they want to go to the cinema to play."
Lin Ruhai was puzzled: "What's so interesting about movie theaters? Don't you have your own movies at home?"
The self-screening machine is not big, and it won’t take up space at home. Jia Shu has long set up a separate yard to prevent machines and pictures related to self-screening. It can be said that the things that the filming theater has, he Home not only has everything, but also more.
But ask the servants, how could they know?
Lin Ruhai had no choice but to change into casual clothes and get into the carriage alone to find someone in his own movie theater.
Ever since an "animation" of "Little Tadpole Looking for Mom" caused a sensation among the rich and powerful, many people inquired about the animation and whether there was any place to buy it.When Jia Shu and Lin Mu were socializing in foreign countries, they also unceremoniously advertised the upcoming opening of the movie theater.
So on the day when the movie theater opens, it can be said that there is a lot of traffic at the entrance of the movie theater.
It was also because of the support of these dignitaries that other common people were attracted to watch, and finally a large group of people gathered at the gate of the cinema.
But those who will enter the door are mostly women with children——
The story of "Little Tadpoles Looking for Their Mother" is too childish, adults won't like it, and it can only attract children.
But when I entered the door, I found that there were a total of three plays lined up in the theater. One had already seen "Little Tadpole Looking for Mother", and the other was "Actor's Complaint", which had already shined on the opera stage, but had a special taste. , there is another play, which is the No. 1 Xiuxian of the second issue of "Story Collection". It's a story of flying up with the whole family after death in one's own country.
The painting styles of the three stories are also different. "Little Tadpole" is directly used in traditional ink painting, plus some "cute", it looks very childlike and interesting, and is very popular with children; Charming, it portrays the beauty and agility of the actors on the stage so vividly, the beautiful and delicate characters make people full of fantasies about the actors in the story; in the last story, both painting methods are used, even in Jia Under several suggestions, part of the light and shadow techniques of sketches and the use of colors in watercolor oil paintings were also used. The background of the fairy world is freehand, full of the people's imagination of the fairy world. The contrast of colors and the proper blank space make the atmosphere of the battlefield even more desolate in the killing...
One is for children, one is for women, and the last one is for men.
In the last story, no matter what other people have disputes about what the general did, those who can afford to watch self-screening also know the principle of "defending the country" is projected on the screen, which is more important than opera. The contagious picture and color impact made the people who came to watch it cry for its misery and laugh for its ending.
After reading these people, they were quite reluctant to part, but they only cried once, and most of them chose to leave after all.
However, there were also some people who bought tickets without hesitation and entered the broadcasting room again after they found out that the three stories were arranged in sequence and would continue to be played after one round.
Unlike the Makeup Pavilion, which can only be used for women, and the supplementary books, which can only be used for scholars, and the story collection, which can only be used for a very small number of wealthy families who can read, this self-image is for everyone——
You can not read, but you can't even see the pictures?
When Lin Ruhai went to see Jia Shu and the others, they were discussing the shortcomings of self-images.
Lin's mother read the story of "Actor's Complaint" over and over again, and she was still thinking about it with a look of reluctance.But she also felt a little pity: "It would be great if this self-screening had sound."
But that's all she complained about, and she didn't have any hope for it in the bottom of her heart.
Jia Shu is also a little numb, she has some impression of what the gramophone appeared——
Who let the inventor of the phonograph be the famous Edison?I also know that the principle of the phonograph is probably related to the telephone.
However, the phone is still missing.
Not to mention the telephone, as long as the machines related to electricity, most of them are still gone.
But it is not difficult to make self-images have sound.
Jia Shu smiled and looked at Lin's mother: "Although we can't let Zi Yinghua speak by itself, we can let people practice the lines in the story, and then let them speak in sync with the screen. This should also meet my mother's requirements."
Mother Lin's eyes lit up with a swipe: "Really? But where can I find it..."
She rolled her eyes, "How about letting the servants of the Lin family practice?"
Jia Shu thought for a while, then shook his head: "There are quite a few beggars in this capital, and some are children. Why don't we just ask the Film Academy to find them to sign a contract, and let those theater troupe people come to help with the training. Then dub the screen."
"Dubbing?" Mother Lin was stunned.
Jia Shu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is there anything wrong with adding sound to the picture?"
Mother Lin nodded, "It's very appropriate."
Jia Shu wiped off the cold sweat in his heart and became more cautious.
Lin's mother didn't know Jia Shu's thoughts, and after hearing her proposal, she cheered up: "If the Film Academy trains people to add lines to the story, I think it will definitely be more popular from Film Academy."
Jia Shu looked at the eagerness in Lin's mother's eyes, and couldn't help suggesting: "Daughter-in-law has other things on her hands, and she can't leave for the time being. If mother is free, why not choose someone for daughter-in-law?"
Mother Lin smiled for a moment, and after thinking about it, she shook her head regretfully: "I'd like to help you, but if I'm busy with the film theater, wouldn't the two children be taken care of?"
Jia Shu didn't think it was a difficult thing: "The two children have reached their age, and they are enlightened like a sea. Pippi and Zhuzhu have learned more and understood more than other children. Zhuzhu can't help it. I can stay at home, but Pippi should be sent to a private school."
Mother Lin was puzzled: "Why don't you just invite a master to teach Pippi at home?"
"Zhuzhu can't go out, so we naturally have to invite her a husband," Jia Shu hesitated, and said, "Pippi should get in touch with other children more, or at least make more friends."
In ancient times, there were no public places. Children who wanted to make friends could only go to various banquets with their mothers, grandmothers and other female relatives, and met friends with similar interests at the banquets.
But this way of making friends limits the scope and number of people the child knows—
People who can participate in the same banquet cannot have too different identities and backgrounds.
Looking at Lin Ruhai and Lin's mother's thoughts, and even Pippi's own talent, Jia Shu felt that he would probably take the imperial examination to become an official in the future.That being the case, she naturally hoped that Pippi would be able to get in touch with people from all walks of life to broaden her horizons since she was a child, so that firstly, she would not be deceived by others, and secondly, she would not have any prejudice against classes she was not familiar with.
Mother Lin didn't quite understand what Jia Shu said: "It's not that Pippi has no friends. If you are worried that Pippi has no playmates, you can call his nanny's son to the Lin family to accompany him, or the son of a servant in the house. Anyone of the same age can call the Lin family to play with Pippi."
Jia Shu was helpless: "But the servant's child must hold Pippi in high regard. He will only treat him as a young master, and it is impossible to treat him as a friend."
Even if they received exactly the same education since they were young, the two children may have all kinds of negative emotions due to the great difference in their identities, let alone those children who are servants, it is impossible for Lin's mother to let them receive the same education as Pippi.
And even if the children are young and simply regard Pippi as their playmate, the people around them, including their parents, will definitely tell the children to be careful to please Pippi every day because they know that Pippi is different from their children.Even if the child doesn't treat Pippi carefully, how can his attitude remain unchanged?
If you got friendship at the beginning, but blinded your eyes because of the initial friendship, regardless of the changes after "friends", not only Pippi, but even those children who were chosen to play with Pippi may be hurt.
So for the children of the Lin family's servants, Pippi could only be the master, not a friend.
Lin's mother still didn't want to let Pippi go to the private school alone: "Otherwise, let's hold more banquets and invite people who are familiar and close friends to visit Lin's family. At that time, not only Pippi, but also Zhuzhu can make more friends." By handing over a handkerchief, you can often connect with your friends."
Jia Shu smiled wryly: "Mother..." This matter is unreliable when you hear it, "If you invite others to visit Lin's house every day, just to let Pippi play with friends and bond with each other, what will happen to Pippi's schoolwork?"
This topic started because Pippi went to school.
Lin's mother paused, and sighed after a while: "The Lin family is too small. Otherwise, if we set up an ethnology school, all the children who study there will be trusted children who know the basics, so we don't have to worry about other things."
Jia Shu looked up to the sky, she couldn't increase the number of Lin family members.
But thinking about Jia's family studies, Jia Shu felt that even without family studies, it's no big deal——
If the Lin family really had an ethnology, but they didn't have a master or manager who could hold the scene, then most of the students in the ethnology were related, and if the ethnology didn't pay attention, it might become like Jia's family.
If Pippi is sent to such an ethnology, she might as well ask Pippi a teacher to teach in Lin's house.
Mother Lin hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't make up her mind: "Let me think again."
Let Pippi study in the private school all day, and only come back after school, Lin's mother is really worried.
Mingming Ruhai hired a teacher to teach at Lin's family when he was a child, and when he grew up, he sent him to Liu Zhengqing's great Confucianism to study.
The focus of Lin's mother's life these years has been completely on the two children. If she is really let go, Lin's mother will definitely not be able to adapt in a short time.Jia Shu didn't find it strange, but she wasn't too worried either.
Lin's mother is not the kind of person who blindly spoils her children, and she will definitely figure it out soon.
It happened that at this time, Lin Ruhai knocked on the door and entered the private room.
"Mother is not feeling well. Why doesn't she look well?" Lin Ruhai walked to the side to finish, and conveniently took Zhu Zhu who was sitting next to her and concentrated on watching the story of "Little Tadpole Looking for Mom" for the second time, and sat on her lap.
Lin Ruhai used to pay attention to the words "caring for children but not grandchildren", but later seeing that the two children are much closer to Jia Shu and Lin's mother than he is, he doesn't care about these nonsense, whenever he is free, he will hug two kids.
Mother Lin glanced at Lin Ruhai, and couldn't help asking him: "Shu'er wants to send Pippi to study in a private school outside. I have some concerns, so I'm not sure."
Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Shu suspiciously: "It's not necessary?"
Although Pippi will take the imperial examination in the future, but with his ingenuity, as long as he goes through his schooling experience from childhood to adulthood, Pippi will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination before the seventeenth, and there is no need to send him to a private school suffer.
"Ruosang, you may not know that a master in a private school has to teach a dozen students, and sending Pippi to a private school is not very good for the children."
Lin Ruhai put it more tactfully——
With people like them, it's not that they can't afford to hire a separate teacher.If you don't hire a separate teacher, but send your child to a private school, it's not only bad, it's really bad.
Just like modern times, sending people to school to receive instruction from several teachers with a group of people, or directly receiving individual tutoring from several teachers at home, in terms of learning knowledge alone, the former and the latter cannot be compared with the latter at all.
Lin's mother explained to Jia Shu: "Shu'er is worried that the child has no friends."
Lin Ruhai was a little taken aback.
Lin's mother sighed. She also recalled Lin Ruhai's life from childhood to adulthood just now, and then she realized that her son seemed to be stuck in the Lin family's study before going to school, rarely interacting with his peers, and had no friends at all.
Although Lin Ruhai has grown up healthily without any friends, it is also because of his quiet personality.But Pippi's monkey-like personality, not to mention whether he can concentrate on studying, but only to say that he is really happy to have no friends to play with him during the study?
Lin Ruhai and Jia Shu looked at each other, both felt that their proposal was inappropriate, but there was no solution for both.
If it weren't for the low operability, Jia Shu would have wanted to open a school by himself.
But before they could think of a solution, Emperor Qisheng suddenly intervened——
That day, Lin Ruhai was busy compiling a book, so He Wenyi came to pass on the oral order of Qi Shengdi, saying that he wanted to see him.
Lin Ruhai hadn't seen Emperor Qisheng for a long time, and he couldn't guess what he wanted to see him, but he couldn't resist the order, so he could only follow He Wenyi to meet Emperor Qisheng.
Halfway, taking advantage of no one around, He Wenyi smiled and congratulated Lin Ruhai: "Congratulations, Lord Lin, congratulations, Lord Lin, it is a great thing for the Holy Majesty to find you this time."
Lin Ruhai was stunned: "Good thing?"
Although he has been obsessed with compiling books recently and doesn't pay much attention to the outside world, but is there really any good thing related to him, not to mention the Jia family, even his colleagues will tell him in advance to sell him after hearing the news?
But no, he had absolutely no idea what was going on.
He Wenyi smiled and said, "The Holy Majesty recently thought that the [-]st and [-]nd princes have reached the age of enlightenment, and it's time to choose companions for them. At the same time, the [-]th Princess also needs to choose a few companions to act as talents, A job of praise."
Lin Ruhai was stunned: "But my two children..."
He Wenyi nodded: "Dragon and phoenix twins are a good auspicious omen, so His Majesty likes the two children in Master Lin's family very much."
When Lin Ruhai thought that his family was still arguing over whether Pippi should go to a private school outside, he couldn't be happy at all.
Neither he, Lin Mu nor Jia Shu had ever thought of sending Pippi and Zhuzhu into the palace, a place where people cannibalize.
When it came time to enter the upper study room, Lin Ruhai still had a trace of luck in his heart.
But as soon as Emperor Qisheng opened his mouth, he cut straight to the point: "Lin Aiqing, your two children have also reached the age of school, what do you think of my two sons, old twenty-one and old twenty-two?"
Lin Ruhai smiled wryly in his heart, how could he feel?
"Back to the emperor, I have never met the two princes, so it's really hard to comment. But judging by the power of the sage and the talents of the other princes, I think they must be among the dragons and phoenixes."
As the immature son of Emperor Qisheng, the much-loved prince and grandson, he has a noble status and does not need to participate in the battle for succession. No matter which prince is in power in the future, he will not treat them too badly. , that is an underestimation.
But Lin Ruhai didn't dare to praise too much, otherwise what would happen if Emperor Qisheng misunderstood him?
Emperor Qisheng glanced at him and said, "Do you think these two princes are worthy of attention?"
"..." Lin Ruhai took a deep breath, "The emperor was joking, the two princes are distinguished, how can they be judged and picked by humble ministers?"
Emperor Qisheng waved his hand indifferently: "Which one do you like, let Pippi read it for him."
What else can Lin Ruhai say?He can't even say it.
For other people, the position of accompanying student is a sweet pastry for everyone to fight for. Even if the two princes are too young, but at their age, as long as they don't die, they will be safe and secure in the future Even if you can't get the highest prince prince in the end, as the new emperor's younger brother, the position of county king is still safe.
Not only is it not dangerous, but it can also be related to the royal family, which is simply a lucrative business.
Moreover, considering the current situation, if Lin Ruhai, a high-ranking "neutral faction" and royalists, must accompany the princes and grandchildren to read, [-] is already the best choice.
If it was before, Lin Ruhai might feel honored.
But now, he just wanted to stay away from the palace and the people living in the palace.
But Emperor Qisheng didn't give him a chance.
Twenty-one and twenty-two two princes are too young, even one or two years younger than Pippi's sister and brother, and now they have no reputation at all. Lin Ruhai doesn't know anything about them.
Under such circumstances, it is obviously impossible for Lin Ruhai to make up his mind to ask Lin Ruhai to choose an allegiance object for Pippi who is both prosperous and detrimental.
After hesitating for a long time, Lin Ruhai tentatively said, "My lord, can I let this minister go home and discuss with mother..."
Emperor Qisheng glared at him: "What can we discuss?"
Lin Ruhai smiled wryly, and blamed his son: "Pippi is young and ignorant, and because he is the only child in the Lin family, both the clumsy Jing and the mother are extremely doting and mischievous. When I read it as a companion, I bumped into the prince."
As a companion to the prince, if there is a conflict, even if it is not Pippi's fault, it will only be Pippi who will suffer and be blamed in the end.
Even the prince who Pippi was reading with got into trouble, and Pippi had to take the blame. When it was unnecessary, he had to be punished together with the prince.
Just thinking about it, Lin Ruhai felt very distressed.
Seeing Lin Ruhai's distressed expression, Emperor Qisheng was speechless: "Lin Aiqing, your two children are only sent to the palace to study, and it's not like they won't go home in the future. Why are you acting like a daughter?"
How can a man, when he hears that the child is going to be sent to the palace, act like those women who are about to part with their children.
Lin Ruhai's focus is different: "Two children?"
Emperor Qisheng nodded: "I think Zhuzhu has a good temper and a smart mind, so she is very suitable to be my daughter's escort."
Lin Ruhai was dumbfounded: "Zhuzhu is still young..."
"Isn't she the same age as Pippi? Why didn't I hear you say that Pippi was young?"
Lin Ruhai: "... how can boys be compared with girls."
Emperor Qisheng looked at him with a half-smile, "I've only heard of favoring sons, why did you come to Aiqing and become favoring daughters?"
Lin Ruhai sighed in his heart, knowing that Emperor Qisheng was a little annoyed, and he didn't dare to confront him anymore.
"Your Majesty, what are the temperaments of the twenty-one and twenty-two princes?"
Since the ending cannot be changed, at least he will choose a worry-free prince for Pippi.
This is not confidential information, and he was afraid that Lin Ruhai would be pushed into a hurry, so he would take refuge with his ambitious princes, so Emperor Qisheng simply told Lin Ruhai: "Twenty-one is quieter, and usually prefers Reading, it is easy to go out of the palace; Twenty-two has a more lively temperament, does not like reading, and still does not know a few big characters, and usually does not go out much."
Emperor Qisheng didn't get along with the two sons very much, and he didn't know their temperaments, but there was no one in the palace who didn't know the news. He only needed to ask people to ask one or two, and he could tell one, two, three.
He thought that among the two princes, Lin Ruhai would definitely choose twenty-one. After all, the Lin family's scholarly heritage naturally favored scholars more.
However, Lin Ruhai chose the twenty-two prince: "Back to the emperor, Pippi has a temper, and it is not easy to quarrel with the twenty-two prince when he is studying together."
Emperor Qisheng raised his eyebrows: "Did you make a mistake? Twenty-two can't read many big characters now."
Not to mention Lin Ruhai, even when He Wenyi told him the news, Qisheng Emperor himself was going crazy, and almost chopped off the concubine who was the only remaining twenty-two princes——
Now that the battle for succession is in full swing, you gave birth to a son. In order to show that you have no interest in winning succession, you tried to find a way to make people think that Nian Er is mediocre, and that even if all the princes die, it will not be Nian Er's turn to be emperor. , It's nothing, he also came through the bloody storm, so he understands it very well.
But you turned his good son into an illiterate who can't read big characters, isn't that unreasonable?
The dignified Daxia prince, who is five or six years old, only knows a few commonly used characters. Is this reasonable?Being known by others would only make him feel stupid, thinking that he, the emperor, would not be born!
Even a father like him despised him, Lin Ruhai actually chose [-] when he had other choices?
Lin Ruhai's tone was firm: "Back to the emperor, I feel that the twenty-two prince and Pippi will definitely play together, and they will definitely not quarrel."
Whether to fight or not, Lin Ruhai has no idea in his heart, but he can guarantee that even if the biological mother of the [-]nd prince is not very smart, at least she has self-knowledge, will not think about things that do not belong to her, and will act decisively Don't sloppy.
"And I really love the twenty-second prince, so that he can grow up safely, I will deal with it ruthlessly!"
Lin Ruhai told his family about his choice, and both Lin's mother and Jia Shu felt that his choice could not be more correct.
Jia Shu, in particular, was full of praise for this: "This mother and concubine of the twenty-two princes is a ruthless person."
Who wouldn't want their son to pass on the reputation of being a child prodigy?Who doesn't want others to know that their son is promising?Didn't the mother and concubine of the twenty-two prince ever think of making him behave better to win Emperor Qisheng's favor?
But she held on, without hesitation.
A prince who has reached the age of enlightenment but doesn't even know a few big characters, even if he knows that he is a clumsy, compared with his grown-up brother, others will inevitably doubt his brain.
Such a reputation can be said to be very bad.
Compared with the twenty-second prince, the quiet twenty-first prince who likes to read books is a bit outstanding.
The most important thing is that he usually does not leave the palace.
But, a prince who doesn't leave the palace, how did he spread the word that he is quiet and likes to read?Don't tell her what Qi Shengdi is like. If a woman really wants to hide her clumsiness from a man and make him misunderstand, it's really easy.
Emperor Qisheng always felt that his control over the harem was impeccable, but in fact, the smiles and frowns of his concubines could all be acting. How could he understand the true character of those concubines who were so charming to him?How could it be possible to really be clear about their thoughts?
He didn't even understand their temperament, and he didn't know what they thought. Emperor Qisheng's so-called complete control of the harem was just a joke.
What's more, the women and children in the palace are the property of Emperor Qisheng. As long as they don't threaten his throne, Emperor Qisheng will naturally put on a filter when facing them.
So compared to Qi Shengdi's words, they are naturally more willing to believe in their own judgment.
Choosing the twenty-second prince may not be the best, but it is definitely better than the twenty-first prince.
Pippi didn't understand anything, but when Jia Shu said, "The twenty-two princes can play with you", he had no other opinions.
"But what about Zhuzhu?" Lin Ruhai panicked.
Emperor Qisheng told him about the temperament of the twenty-two princes, but he didn't say a word about the temperament of the twelve princesses.He had reason to suspect that the twelve princesses were arrogant and domineering.
There is nothing Jia Shu can do about this.
It is said that one can be strong without desire, and the twelve princesses, as women, have nothing to do with the throne, and she is a noble and noble princess, she does not need to please others, nor does she need to worry about offending others, she will definitely not have any scruples in doing things.
If the twelve princesses were really bad-tempered, Zhuzhu's life in the palace would definitely be difficult.
Jia Shu looked at the two children and sighed: "If I knew it, I would..."
what?Do you want to help Lin Ruhai get promoted?Or do you not help Qishengdi make money?
But if they really didn't do anything back then, they would really have no power to fight back against the bullying of someone with a higher status.How can Emperor Qisheng call their two children into the palace as companions and attendants, and greet them in advance?
Even if he just notified in advance, it was Emperor Qisheng who gave Lin Ruhai face——
Otherwise, if Emperor Qisheng threw an imperial decree directly at the Lin family, how could the Lin family resist the decree?
Jia Shu looked at Lin's mother: "Mother, can I find out the temperament and preferences of the twelve princesses?"
If it wasn't for the fact that there were too many taboos when entering the palace, weapons and food were not allowed to be brought in, why would she bother at this time?Little girls, most of them like dolls and desserts. She can make dolls, but desserts...
Regarding Zhuzhu, Lin's mother is more concerned than anyone else: "Don't worry, there must be more than one attendant for the twelve princesses. I will call people to the Lin's house tomorrow for the reason of watching the new drama "Self-Yinghua" in advance. There will be families whose granddaughters and great-granddaughters are selected, even if they can’t find out about the Twelve Princesses, at least the others
Huang Lu, who was busy comparing the data, suddenly raised his head: "Are you leaving?"
Huang Zhuang was a little surprised, but still nodded: "Son, since you have only just arrived in the capital, you not only need to be busy with arranging for your wife and children, but also go to other places to inquire about news. I am a big man, so I can't rely on your father to support me alone? "
Before coming here, the steward of the Lin family told about Huang Lu's treatment in the Lin family. He was shocked in his heart, because he never thought that Huang Lu could really get the favor of the nobleman by relying on those things that were completely useless in his opinion. He valued it, and was even willing to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to find him as an unfilial son in order to win over his father. Afterwards, facing his big family, he didn't hesitate at all, and directly took his whole family to the capital.
But even so, he couldn't let his father and the Lin family take care of them for his father's sake with peace of mind.
Maybe my father didn't think too much about it, but he often dealt with these powerful people before. He knew very well that the importance of these people was only temporary. Once his father could not bring benefits to the Lin family, the Lin family would definitely turn their backs and deny them.
Huang Lu is already very old. If other people were at this age, they would have already recuperated at home and started spoiling their grandchildren.
The Lin family has signed a contract with his father, and he cannot break the contract at the risk of offending the Lin family.Even if his father could really bring enough benefits to the Lin family, at Huang Lu's age, it was not certain that he would be able to serve the Lin family for a few more years.
But he has to be ready.
As long as he has a firm foothold in the capital, even if his father is abandoned by the Lin family, he will still be able to take him home to take care of him.
Huang Lu didn't know that in just a few moments, countless thoughts passed through his son's mind.He looked a little disappointed, but he also knew that what Huang Zhuang said was reasonable, so he nodded: "Then you go back and settle Liu Shi and others well."
After speaking, he bowed his head and continued with the work in hand.
But for some reason, Huang Lu's mind was muddled. He always felt that he had forgotten something and could not concentrate on his work at all.
Huang Zhuang bid farewell to Pippi and Zhuzhu who had been watching him talking to Huang Lu, and then turned and left.
"Zhuang'er, wait a minute." Huang Lu suddenly said.
Huang Zhuang turned around suspiciously: "Father, is there anything I need my son to do?"
Huang Lu got up and staggered to the compartment of the room—in order to be able to study the equipment he was interested in anytime and anywhere, Huang Lu directly changed the compartment into a bedroom—after a while, he handed a wooden box to the In Huang Zhuang's hand: "This is my monthly silver for the past few months. You must have a lot of places to spend money when you first arrive in the capital. This is for you. If you don't want to trouble Butler Lin, don't bother."
Huang Zhuang was a little puzzled, thinking that the Lin family treated him badly.
He knew his father very well, except for the "extraordinary obscene skills" that he was interested in, he seldom noticed other people's sophistication.He actually asked himself to trouble the housekeeper Lin as little as possible, Huang Zhuang could only wonder if the Lin family's attitude towards his father was not as good as it seemed.
Even, the relationship between the father and the Lin family may have other secrets.
However, Huang Lu quietly pulled Huang Zhuang aside, and whispered: "Everyone in Marquis Wen'an's residence is a bit stupid. We can't just take advantage of others because of their kindness."
Huang Zhuang: "..."
"Then why did you still ask the Lin family to find me, and even bring our family to the capital?" Huang Zhuang was almost speechless. Although he didn't know much about the head of the Lin family, he only had the reputation of the head of the Lin family, Lin Ruhai, and the Lin family's reputation over the years. From the decisions the bookstore has made over the years and the money it has earned, it can be seen that Lin Tanhua is not a good match——
Even if he is not a businessman whose interests are paramount, he cannot be a pure literati who does not care about money.
But for such a person, his father actually thinks the other person is stupid?Who is that stupid!
After thinking about it, he felt that Lin Tanhua might be a bit stupid, otherwise he couldn't value his father so much, and it couldn't be explained by just being kind; but his father would only be more stupid.
The lord who made the decision and the subordinates he had high hopes for were both stupid. Why did he think that if they were put together, they would be yellow no matter what they did?
Huang Zhuang kept silent, thinking that Huang Lu, who thought he was not happy, was upset: "Stretch out your hand!"
Huang Zhuang stretched out his hand subconsciously.
"Snapped--"
Huang Zhuang lowered his head in astonishment, looking at the palms that were gradually turning red, he was stunned: "Father, my son has reached the age of forty, why do you still use a ruler to hit the palm of his son?"
Huang Lu tapped his palm a few more times, "As long as you are my son, no matter how old you are, I can beat you!"
Huang Zhuang: "..."
"Hurry up and go back with the money, don't disturb Butler Lin, you know?"
Huang Zhuang nodded blankly.
Huang Lu got the answer he wanted, turned around and went back to his seat to sit down.
"嗖", "嗖", Pippi and Zhuzhu, the two children who saw their father beating their son with a ruler for the first time, were already frightened.Now, in the eyes of the two children, Huang Lu is no longer the kind grandpa who can make toys for them, but has become a bad guy who can beat people at any time.
Especially Huang Lu's sentence "As long as you are my son, no matter how old you are, I can beat you", which scared the two children.
"Brother, I'm not Daddy's son, so Daddy won't beat me?"
Zhuzhu looked at Pippi with a look of fear.
Pippi: "..."
"Wow... Pippi don't want to be Daddy's son!"
Just at this time, Lin Ruhai and his wife who went to attend the opening of the movie theater came back.Because the movie theater was in good business today, the two of them went straight to Huang Lu's workshop in the ghost factory after paying their respects to Mother Lin.
Then, he listened to Pippi's words word for word.
Lin Ruhai: "...Xian'er, what did you just say?"
When Pippi saw Lin Ruhai, he cried even harder. He was afraid and anxious: "Daddy, Pippi wants to be your daughter too."
Lin Ruhai: "..."
Jia Shu and Lin Ruhai questioned for a long time before they found out from the mouths of the two children why they were crying and why they were so afraid of being Lin Ruhai's "son".
But children's thoughts are inherently wild and there is no rule. Don't say that they don't want to be Lin Ruhai's son because of a word, even if they want to have children to be parents or marry other children because of a word, it is perfectly normal.
Because the two children were a little afraid of Lin Ruhai now, Jia Shu could only hug the two children to a corner to comfort him.
Lin Ruhai stood alone in the middle of the house, and next to them were the yellow shoes who felt that they had no responsibility after they came, so they devoted themselves to the research of new machines.
Lin Ruhai: "..." Miserably miserable.
-
Fortunately, the two children have reached the age of being able to reason, and they are very close and trusting to Jia Shu. It didn't take long for the two of them to become intimate with Lin Ruhai again.
But also because of this small change, Lin Ruhai began to deliberately pay attention to the relationship between himself and the two children.
Then, he found that although the two children were close to him, they were still a little strange compared to Jia Shu.Lin Ruhai believed that if they heard the "mother beating daughter" version of the dialogue today, the two children would never have any reaction.
This is also because I spend too little time with my two children.
Lin Ruhai secretly shortened the on-duty time by an hour, and decided to go home one day earlier every day.
It's just that when he came back early the next day, he found that Lin's mother, Jia Shu and their two children were not at home.
Lin Ruhai asked suspiciously: "Where are the madam and the others?"
"Back to the master, the old lady and the wife and the young lady and the young master went out early in the morning, saying that they want to go to the cinema to play."
Lin Ruhai was puzzled: "What's so interesting about movie theaters? Don't you have your own movies at home?"
The self-screening machine is not big, and it won’t take up space at home. Jia Shu has long set up a separate yard to prevent machines and pictures related to self-screening. It can be said that the things that the filming theater has, he Home not only has everything, but also more.
But ask the servants, how could they know?
Lin Ruhai had no choice but to change into casual clothes and get into the carriage alone to find someone in his own movie theater.
Ever since an "animation" of "Little Tadpole Looking for Mom" caused a sensation among the rich and powerful, many people inquired about the animation and whether there was any place to buy it.When Jia Shu and Lin Mu were socializing in foreign countries, they also unceremoniously advertised the upcoming opening of the movie theater.
So on the day when the movie theater opens, it can be said that there is a lot of traffic at the entrance of the movie theater.
It was also because of the support of these dignitaries that other common people were attracted to watch, and finally a large group of people gathered at the gate of the cinema.
But those who will enter the door are mostly women with children——
The story of "Little Tadpoles Looking for Their Mother" is too childish, adults won't like it, and it can only attract children.
But when I entered the door, I found that there were a total of three plays lined up in the theater. One had already seen "Little Tadpole Looking for Mother", and the other was "Actor's Complaint", which had already shined on the opera stage, but had a special taste. , there is another play, which is the No. 1 Xiuxian of the second issue of "Story Collection". It's a story of flying up with the whole family after death in one's own country.
The painting styles of the three stories are also different. "Little Tadpole" is directly used in traditional ink painting, plus some "cute", it looks very childlike and interesting, and is very popular with children; Charming, it portrays the beauty and agility of the actors on the stage so vividly, the beautiful and delicate characters make people full of fantasies about the actors in the story; in the last story, both painting methods are used, even in Jia Under several suggestions, part of the light and shadow techniques of sketches and the use of colors in watercolor oil paintings were also used. The background of the fairy world is freehand, full of the people's imagination of the fairy world. The contrast of colors and the proper blank space make the atmosphere of the battlefield even more desolate in the killing...
One is for children, one is for women, and the last one is for men.
In the last story, no matter what other people have disputes about what the general did, those who can afford to watch self-screening also know the principle of "defending the country" is projected on the screen, which is more important than opera. The contagious picture and color impact made the people who came to watch it cry for its misery and laugh for its ending.
After reading these people, they were quite reluctant to part, but they only cried once, and most of them chose to leave after all.
However, there were also some people who bought tickets without hesitation and entered the broadcasting room again after they found out that the three stories were arranged in sequence and would continue to be played after one round.
Unlike the Makeup Pavilion, which can only be used for women, and the supplementary books, which can only be used for scholars, and the story collection, which can only be used for a very small number of wealthy families who can read, this self-image is for everyone——
You can not read, but you can't even see the pictures?
When Lin Ruhai went to see Jia Shu and the others, they were discussing the shortcomings of self-images.
Lin's mother read the story of "Actor's Complaint" over and over again, and she was still thinking about it with a look of reluctance.But she also felt a little pity: "It would be great if this self-screening had sound."
But that's all she complained about, and she didn't have any hope for it in the bottom of her heart.
Jia Shu is also a little numb, she has some impression of what the gramophone appeared——
Who let the inventor of the phonograph be the famous Edison?I also know that the principle of the phonograph is probably related to the telephone.
However, the phone is still missing.
Not to mention the telephone, as long as the machines related to electricity, most of them are still gone.
But it is not difficult to make self-images have sound.
Jia Shu smiled and looked at Lin's mother: "Although we can't let Zi Yinghua speak by itself, we can let people practice the lines in the story, and then let them speak in sync with the screen. This should also meet my mother's requirements."
Mother Lin's eyes lit up with a swipe: "Really? But where can I find it..."
She rolled her eyes, "How about letting the servants of the Lin family practice?"
Jia Shu thought for a while, then shook his head: "There are quite a few beggars in this capital, and some are children. Why don't we just ask the Film Academy to find them to sign a contract, and let those theater troupe people come to help with the training. Then dub the screen."
"Dubbing?" Mother Lin was stunned.
Jia Shu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is there anything wrong with adding sound to the picture?"
Mother Lin nodded, "It's very appropriate."
Jia Shu wiped off the cold sweat in his heart and became more cautious.
Lin's mother didn't know Jia Shu's thoughts, and after hearing her proposal, she cheered up: "If the Film Academy trains people to add lines to the story, I think it will definitely be more popular from Film Academy."
Jia Shu looked at the eagerness in Lin's mother's eyes, and couldn't help suggesting: "Daughter-in-law has other things on her hands, and she can't leave for the time being. If mother is free, why not choose someone for daughter-in-law?"
Mother Lin smiled for a moment, and after thinking about it, she shook her head regretfully: "I'd like to help you, but if I'm busy with the film theater, wouldn't the two children be taken care of?"
Jia Shu didn't think it was a difficult thing: "The two children have reached their age, and they are enlightened like a sea. Pippi and Zhuzhu have learned more and understood more than other children. Zhuzhu can't help it. I can stay at home, but Pippi should be sent to a private school."
Mother Lin was puzzled: "Why don't you just invite a master to teach Pippi at home?"
"Zhuzhu can't go out, so we naturally have to invite her a husband," Jia Shu hesitated, and said, "Pippi should get in touch with other children more, or at least make more friends."
In ancient times, there were no public places. Children who wanted to make friends could only go to various banquets with their mothers, grandmothers and other female relatives, and met friends with similar interests at the banquets.
But this way of making friends limits the scope and number of people the child knows—
People who can participate in the same banquet cannot have too different identities and backgrounds.
Looking at Lin Ruhai and Lin's mother's thoughts, and even Pippi's own talent, Jia Shu felt that he would probably take the imperial examination to become an official in the future.That being the case, she naturally hoped that Pippi would be able to get in touch with people from all walks of life to broaden her horizons since she was a child, so that firstly, she would not be deceived by others, and secondly, she would not have any prejudice against classes she was not familiar with.
Mother Lin didn't quite understand what Jia Shu said: "It's not that Pippi has no friends. If you are worried that Pippi has no playmates, you can call his nanny's son to the Lin family to accompany him, or the son of a servant in the house. Anyone of the same age can call the Lin family to play with Pippi."
Jia Shu was helpless: "But the servant's child must hold Pippi in high regard. He will only treat him as a young master, and it is impossible to treat him as a friend."
Even if they received exactly the same education since they were young, the two children may have all kinds of negative emotions due to the great difference in their identities, let alone those children who are servants, it is impossible for Lin's mother to let them receive the same education as Pippi.
And even if the children are young and simply regard Pippi as their playmate, the people around them, including their parents, will definitely tell the children to be careful to please Pippi every day because they know that Pippi is different from their children.Even if the child doesn't treat Pippi carefully, how can his attitude remain unchanged?
If you got friendship at the beginning, but blinded your eyes because of the initial friendship, regardless of the changes after "friends", not only Pippi, but even those children who were chosen to play with Pippi may be hurt.
So for the children of the Lin family's servants, Pippi could only be the master, not a friend.
Lin's mother still didn't want to let Pippi go to the private school alone: "Otherwise, let's hold more banquets and invite people who are familiar and close friends to visit Lin's family. At that time, not only Pippi, but also Zhuzhu can make more friends." By handing over a handkerchief, you can often connect with your friends."
Jia Shu smiled wryly: "Mother..." This matter is unreliable when you hear it, "If you invite others to visit Lin's house every day, just to let Pippi play with friends and bond with each other, what will happen to Pippi's schoolwork?"
This topic started because Pippi went to school.
Lin's mother paused, and sighed after a while: "The Lin family is too small. Otherwise, if we set up an ethnology school, all the children who study there will be trusted children who know the basics, so we don't have to worry about other things."
Jia Shu looked up to the sky, she couldn't increase the number of Lin family members.
But thinking about Jia's family studies, Jia Shu felt that even without family studies, it's no big deal——
If the Lin family really had an ethnology, but they didn't have a master or manager who could hold the scene, then most of the students in the ethnology were related, and if the ethnology didn't pay attention, it might become like Jia's family.
If Pippi is sent to such an ethnology, she might as well ask Pippi a teacher to teach in Lin's house.
Mother Lin hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't make up her mind: "Let me think again."
Let Pippi study in the private school all day, and only come back after school, Lin's mother is really worried.
Mingming Ruhai hired a teacher to teach at Lin's family when he was a child, and when he grew up, he sent him to Liu Zhengqing's great Confucianism to study.
The focus of Lin's mother's life these years has been completely on the two children. If she is really let go, Lin's mother will definitely not be able to adapt in a short time.Jia Shu didn't find it strange, but she wasn't too worried either.
Lin's mother is not the kind of person who blindly spoils her children, and she will definitely figure it out soon.
It happened that at this time, Lin Ruhai knocked on the door and entered the private room.
"Mother is not feeling well. Why doesn't she look well?" Lin Ruhai walked to the side to finish, and conveniently took Zhu Zhu who was sitting next to her and concentrated on watching the story of "Little Tadpole Looking for Mom" for the second time, and sat on her lap.
Lin Ruhai used to pay attention to the words "caring for children but not grandchildren", but later seeing that the two children are much closer to Jia Shu and Lin's mother than he is, he doesn't care about these nonsense, whenever he is free, he will hug two kids.
Mother Lin glanced at Lin Ruhai, and couldn't help asking him: "Shu'er wants to send Pippi to study in a private school outside. I have some concerns, so I'm not sure."
Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Shu suspiciously: "It's not necessary?"
Although Pippi will take the imperial examination in the future, but with his ingenuity, as long as he goes through his schooling experience from childhood to adulthood, Pippi will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination before the seventeenth, and there is no need to send him to a private school suffer.
"Ruosang, you may not know that a master in a private school has to teach a dozen students, and sending Pippi to a private school is not very good for the children."
Lin Ruhai put it more tactfully——
With people like them, it's not that they can't afford to hire a separate teacher.If you don't hire a separate teacher, but send your child to a private school, it's not only bad, it's really bad.
Just like modern times, sending people to school to receive instruction from several teachers with a group of people, or directly receiving individual tutoring from several teachers at home, in terms of learning knowledge alone, the former and the latter cannot be compared with the latter at all.
Lin's mother explained to Jia Shu: "Shu'er is worried that the child has no friends."
Lin Ruhai was a little taken aback.
Lin's mother sighed. She also recalled Lin Ruhai's life from childhood to adulthood just now, and then she realized that her son seemed to be stuck in the Lin family's study before going to school, rarely interacting with his peers, and had no friends at all.
Although Lin Ruhai has grown up healthily without any friends, it is also because of his quiet personality.But Pippi's monkey-like personality, not to mention whether he can concentrate on studying, but only to say that he is really happy to have no friends to play with him during the study?
Lin Ruhai and Jia Shu looked at each other, both felt that their proposal was inappropriate, but there was no solution for both.
If it weren't for the low operability, Jia Shu would have wanted to open a school by himself.
But before they could think of a solution, Emperor Qisheng suddenly intervened——
That day, Lin Ruhai was busy compiling a book, so He Wenyi came to pass on the oral order of Qi Shengdi, saying that he wanted to see him.
Lin Ruhai hadn't seen Emperor Qisheng for a long time, and he couldn't guess what he wanted to see him, but he couldn't resist the order, so he could only follow He Wenyi to meet Emperor Qisheng.
Halfway, taking advantage of no one around, He Wenyi smiled and congratulated Lin Ruhai: "Congratulations, Lord Lin, congratulations, Lord Lin, it is a great thing for the Holy Majesty to find you this time."
Lin Ruhai was stunned: "Good thing?"
Although he has been obsessed with compiling books recently and doesn't pay much attention to the outside world, but is there really any good thing related to him, not to mention the Jia family, even his colleagues will tell him in advance to sell him after hearing the news?
But no, he had absolutely no idea what was going on.
He Wenyi smiled and said, "The Holy Majesty recently thought that the [-]st and [-]nd princes have reached the age of enlightenment, and it's time to choose companions for them. At the same time, the [-]th Princess also needs to choose a few companions to act as talents, A job of praise."
Lin Ruhai was stunned: "But my two children..."
He Wenyi nodded: "Dragon and phoenix twins are a good auspicious omen, so His Majesty likes the two children in Master Lin's family very much."
When Lin Ruhai thought that his family was still arguing over whether Pippi should go to a private school outside, he couldn't be happy at all.
Neither he, Lin Mu nor Jia Shu had ever thought of sending Pippi and Zhuzhu into the palace, a place where people cannibalize.
When it came time to enter the upper study room, Lin Ruhai still had a trace of luck in his heart.
But as soon as Emperor Qisheng opened his mouth, he cut straight to the point: "Lin Aiqing, your two children have also reached the age of school, what do you think of my two sons, old twenty-one and old twenty-two?"
Lin Ruhai smiled wryly in his heart, how could he feel?
"Back to the emperor, I have never met the two princes, so it's really hard to comment. But judging by the power of the sage and the talents of the other princes, I think they must be among the dragons and phoenixes."
As the immature son of Emperor Qisheng, the much-loved prince and grandson, he has a noble status and does not need to participate in the battle for succession. No matter which prince is in power in the future, he will not treat them too badly. , that is an underestimation.
But Lin Ruhai didn't dare to praise too much, otherwise what would happen if Emperor Qisheng misunderstood him?
Emperor Qisheng glanced at him and said, "Do you think these two princes are worthy of attention?"
"..." Lin Ruhai took a deep breath, "The emperor was joking, the two princes are distinguished, how can they be judged and picked by humble ministers?"
Emperor Qisheng waved his hand indifferently: "Which one do you like, let Pippi read it for him."
What else can Lin Ruhai say?He can't even say it.
For other people, the position of accompanying student is a sweet pastry for everyone to fight for. Even if the two princes are too young, but at their age, as long as they don't die, they will be safe and secure in the future Even if you can't get the highest prince prince in the end, as the new emperor's younger brother, the position of county king is still safe.
Not only is it not dangerous, but it can also be related to the royal family, which is simply a lucrative business.
Moreover, considering the current situation, if Lin Ruhai, a high-ranking "neutral faction" and royalists, must accompany the princes and grandchildren to read, [-] is already the best choice.
If it was before, Lin Ruhai might feel honored.
But now, he just wanted to stay away from the palace and the people living in the palace.
But Emperor Qisheng didn't give him a chance.
Twenty-one and twenty-two two princes are too young, even one or two years younger than Pippi's sister and brother, and now they have no reputation at all. Lin Ruhai doesn't know anything about them.
Under such circumstances, it is obviously impossible for Lin Ruhai to make up his mind to ask Lin Ruhai to choose an allegiance object for Pippi who is both prosperous and detrimental.
After hesitating for a long time, Lin Ruhai tentatively said, "My lord, can I let this minister go home and discuss with mother..."
Emperor Qisheng glared at him: "What can we discuss?"
Lin Ruhai smiled wryly, and blamed his son: "Pippi is young and ignorant, and because he is the only child in the Lin family, both the clumsy Jing and the mother are extremely doting and mischievous. When I read it as a companion, I bumped into the prince."
As a companion to the prince, if there is a conflict, even if it is not Pippi's fault, it will only be Pippi who will suffer and be blamed in the end.
Even the prince who Pippi was reading with got into trouble, and Pippi had to take the blame. When it was unnecessary, he had to be punished together with the prince.
Just thinking about it, Lin Ruhai felt very distressed.
Seeing Lin Ruhai's distressed expression, Emperor Qisheng was speechless: "Lin Aiqing, your two children are only sent to the palace to study, and it's not like they won't go home in the future. Why are you acting like a daughter?"
How can a man, when he hears that the child is going to be sent to the palace, act like those women who are about to part with their children.
Lin Ruhai's focus is different: "Two children?"
Emperor Qisheng nodded: "I think Zhuzhu has a good temper and a smart mind, so she is very suitable to be my daughter's escort."
Lin Ruhai was dumbfounded: "Zhuzhu is still young..."
"Isn't she the same age as Pippi? Why didn't I hear you say that Pippi was young?"
Lin Ruhai: "... how can boys be compared with girls."
Emperor Qisheng looked at him with a half-smile, "I've only heard of favoring sons, why did you come to Aiqing and become favoring daughters?"
Lin Ruhai sighed in his heart, knowing that Emperor Qisheng was a little annoyed, and he didn't dare to confront him anymore.
"Your Majesty, what are the temperaments of the twenty-one and twenty-two princes?"
Since the ending cannot be changed, at least he will choose a worry-free prince for Pippi.
This is not confidential information, and he was afraid that Lin Ruhai would be pushed into a hurry, so he would take refuge with his ambitious princes, so Emperor Qisheng simply told Lin Ruhai: "Twenty-one is quieter, and usually prefers Reading, it is easy to go out of the palace; Twenty-two has a more lively temperament, does not like reading, and still does not know a few big characters, and usually does not go out much."
Emperor Qisheng didn't get along with the two sons very much, and he didn't know their temperaments, but there was no one in the palace who didn't know the news. He only needed to ask people to ask one or two, and he could tell one, two, three.
He thought that among the two princes, Lin Ruhai would definitely choose twenty-one. After all, the Lin family's scholarly heritage naturally favored scholars more.
However, Lin Ruhai chose the twenty-two prince: "Back to the emperor, Pippi has a temper, and it is not easy to quarrel with the twenty-two prince when he is studying together."
Emperor Qisheng raised his eyebrows: "Did you make a mistake? Twenty-two can't read many big characters now."
Not to mention Lin Ruhai, even when He Wenyi told him the news, Qisheng Emperor himself was going crazy, and almost chopped off the concubine who was the only remaining twenty-two princes——
Now that the battle for succession is in full swing, you gave birth to a son. In order to show that you have no interest in winning succession, you tried to find a way to make people think that Nian Er is mediocre, and that even if all the princes die, it will not be Nian Er's turn to be emperor. , It's nothing, he also came through the bloody storm, so he understands it very well.
But you turned his good son into an illiterate who can't read big characters, isn't that unreasonable?
The dignified Daxia prince, who is five or six years old, only knows a few commonly used characters. Is this reasonable?Being known by others would only make him feel stupid, thinking that he, the emperor, would not be born!
Even a father like him despised him, Lin Ruhai actually chose [-] when he had other choices?
Lin Ruhai's tone was firm: "Back to the emperor, I feel that the twenty-two prince and Pippi will definitely play together, and they will definitely not quarrel."
Whether to fight or not, Lin Ruhai has no idea in his heart, but he can guarantee that even if the biological mother of the [-]nd prince is not very smart, at least she has self-knowledge, will not think about things that do not belong to her, and will act decisively Don't sloppy.
"And I really love the twenty-second prince, so that he can grow up safely, I will deal with it ruthlessly!"
Lin Ruhai told his family about his choice, and both Lin's mother and Jia Shu felt that his choice could not be more correct.
Jia Shu, in particular, was full of praise for this: "This mother and concubine of the twenty-two princes is a ruthless person."
Who wouldn't want their son to pass on the reputation of being a child prodigy?Who doesn't want others to know that their son is promising?Didn't the mother and concubine of the twenty-two prince ever think of making him behave better to win Emperor Qisheng's favor?
But she held on, without hesitation.
A prince who has reached the age of enlightenment but doesn't even know a few big characters, even if he knows that he is a clumsy, compared with his grown-up brother, others will inevitably doubt his brain.
Such a reputation can be said to be very bad.
Compared with the twenty-second prince, the quiet twenty-first prince who likes to read books is a bit outstanding.
The most important thing is that he usually does not leave the palace.
But, a prince who doesn't leave the palace, how did he spread the word that he is quiet and likes to read?Don't tell her what Qi Shengdi is like. If a woman really wants to hide her clumsiness from a man and make him misunderstand, it's really easy.
Emperor Qisheng always felt that his control over the harem was impeccable, but in fact, the smiles and frowns of his concubines could all be acting. How could he understand the true character of those concubines who were so charming to him?How could it be possible to really be clear about their thoughts?
He didn't even understand their temperament, and he didn't know what they thought. Emperor Qisheng's so-called complete control of the harem was just a joke.
What's more, the women and children in the palace are the property of Emperor Qisheng. As long as they don't threaten his throne, Emperor Qisheng will naturally put on a filter when facing them.
So compared to Qi Shengdi's words, they are naturally more willing to believe in their own judgment.
Choosing the twenty-second prince may not be the best, but it is definitely better than the twenty-first prince.
Pippi didn't understand anything, but when Jia Shu said, "The twenty-two princes can play with you", he had no other opinions.
"But what about Zhuzhu?" Lin Ruhai panicked.
Emperor Qisheng told him about the temperament of the twenty-two princes, but he didn't say a word about the temperament of the twelve princesses.He had reason to suspect that the twelve princesses were arrogant and domineering.
There is nothing Jia Shu can do about this.
It is said that one can be strong without desire, and the twelve princesses, as women, have nothing to do with the throne, and she is a noble and noble princess, she does not need to please others, nor does she need to worry about offending others, she will definitely not have any scruples in doing things.
If the twelve princesses were really bad-tempered, Zhuzhu's life in the palace would definitely be difficult.
Jia Shu looked at the two children and sighed: "If I knew it, I would..."
what?Do you want to help Lin Ruhai get promoted?Or do you not help Qishengdi make money?
But if they really didn't do anything back then, they would really have no power to fight back against the bullying of someone with a higher status.How can Emperor Qisheng call their two children into the palace as companions and attendants, and greet them in advance?
Even if he just notified in advance, it was Emperor Qisheng who gave Lin Ruhai face——
Otherwise, if Emperor Qisheng threw an imperial decree directly at the Lin family, how could the Lin family resist the decree?
Jia Shu looked at Lin's mother: "Mother, can I find out the temperament and preferences of the twelve princesses?"
If it wasn't for the fact that there were too many taboos when entering the palace, weapons and food were not allowed to be brought in, why would she bother at this time?Little girls, most of them like dolls and desserts. She can make dolls, but desserts...
Regarding Zhuzhu, Lin's mother is more concerned than anyone else: "Don't worry, there must be more than one attendant for the twelve princesses. I will call people to the Lin's house tomorrow for the reason of watching the new drama "Self-Yinghua" in advance. There will be families whose granddaughters and great-granddaughters are selected, even if they can’t find out about the Twelve Princesses, at least the others
