[Red House] Raiders of life

At the end of February, under the imperial decree.

The imperial decree wrote a long paragraph of parallel essays, first praising the ancestors of the Lin family, then praising Lin Ruhai's achievements in compiling books in the Imperial Academy, and then the main point came, from the debt owed by the household department to the snow disaster, Lin Ruhai was greatly praised again.

Almost all the good words available are piled up, and the whole article is full of praise from beginning to end.In the end, with a swipe of a pen, Lin Ruhai inherited the title of Marquis of Xuanping from his ancestor, with special decree that he could inherit it for three generations.

When the imperial decree was issued, the court was in an uproar.Look at the military generals guarding the border. They have made great military exploits and kept one side safe.Just like that, how many people can be named Marquis?

Looking at Lin Ruhai again, his father's succession to another generation is already a gift.At this moment, three generations are specially bestowed, what can He De!Everyone's eyes were red with jealousy, and many people muttered.The emperor loves talents, and although he favored the top three in the imperial examinations in the past, he has never been so gracious.It's abnormal, it's abnormal!

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

On the second day, the emperor ordered Minister Li to deal with the outstanding debts of the household department, and Lin Ruhai assisted in handling it.Yo Yo Yo, listen!Lin Ruhai is just a fifth-rank employee, how can he be qualified to be an assistant?But that's what the emperor said, thinking about Lin Ruhai's knighthood the day before, and then thinking about Lin Ruhai's repayment of money that was praised in the knighthood edict.

Everyone woke up like a dream!Your Majesty did this on purpose!It is completely for others to see!The greater the reward he gave Lin Ruhai, the greater his determination to collect the money owed by the household department.

Since then, the household department has become a mess, and the four princes and eight princes have become a mess.Crying poor is inevitable.But the emperor was not in a hurry, so he found a little eunuch, and wrote down all the words they cried about being poor, and then took it to them to have a look at it for themselves, and after reading it for themselves, there was nothing wrong with what they said, so sign it , sign and you can go.

The debtors are dumbfounded!Oh my god, is the emperor out of his mind? What is the cause of this trouble?How can it be the same as signing a signature?The corner of his mouth twitched, and he was suspicious in his heart, but he could leave after signing, and he didn't have to pay back the money, okay.I sign!

So, one by one went to the holy car to sign the papers, that scene was so lively!

Lin Ning rolled his eyes when he heard this, and sighed in his heart: No wonder few of the four kings and eight males were able to get good in the end.Short-sighted!

Rongguofu.

Jia Min is also Mrs. Hou now, and Mother Jia is really happy. She took Jia Min's hand and smiled brightly, "When you married, the Lin family's family was withered and the Marquis was gone. I always felt wronged." I lost you. It's all right now."

Jia Min smiled and didn't answer. Although she didn't think so, she also knew that her mother loved her, and it was hard for her to refute her mother at this time.

But Mrs. Wang, who was sitting by the side, couldn't stand it any longer. She twisted the handkerchief and almost tore the handkerchief in her hand. From the fifth grade, she also got a pleasant.Jia Zheng, who is subordinate in rank, did not expect Jia Min to become the first-rank Mrs. Hou Ye in an instant.

She was depressed, but she refused to admit that she was jealous, and said with a forced smile: "Why is my aunt's family thinking about paying back the money from the household department? Why didn't my aunt come back and say something about such a big matter?"

Jia's mother also looked at Jia Min when she heard this. Jia Min's heart sank, and she said: "The last time I came back, I told my mother that we should pay back the money owed to the household department. Mother, do you remember?"

Mother Jia thought that this was the case, but at that time Jia Min mentioned such an incident for no reason, and did not say that the Lin family had paid back the money, so she naturally didn't take it seriously.

"What did my mother ask me to say? It was my mother-in-law's idea to pay back the money. My mother-in-law specifically told me not to tell anyone about it, and only told me to pay it back secretly. My mother-in-law said that it is only right and proper to pay back money in debt, so I thought, our family also owes money. Come back right away."

Mrs. Wang was not convinced, "Old lady Lin said no rumors are allowed. We are my aunt's family, so how can we be outsiders? Could it be that my aunt still doesn't trust her own family?"

Jia Min was also a little arrogant. Seeing Mrs. Wang being so eccentric, she snorted coldly, "Of course I trust my mother and elder brother, but I really can't trust those people in the mansion. My mother came to see me in the mansion a few years ago, and we, mother and daughter, closed the door. What I said can be spread all over the capital by the servants of my natal family, how dare I dare! I don’t know how that word was spread, every word and every word is saying that I, a married daughter, meddled in the affairs of my natal family, and even Contradicting my mother, you only missed pointing at my nose and saying I'm not filial."

Jia Min was annoyed when she said this, at the beginning it was just a few words of persuasion to let Jia's mother distinguish between seniors and young, it was not appropriate for Jia Zheng to live in the Rongxi Hall.Although Jia's mother looked bad at the time and said a few words to her, they are mother and daughter after all, and it's okay after a few days when their anger subsides.Jia Min naturally knew that her mother would not go out and ruin her reputation for such a small matter, so this matter could only be done by Mrs. Wang.

When Jia's mother heard this, she knew that Jia Min and Mrs. Wang had always been at odds with her sister-in-law. Jia Min had suffered some grievances in this matter, but she didn't like to hear those words, so it was not good for this matter. To reprimand Mrs. Wang, I can only come out to smooth things over.

"Okay, okay! It's rare for you to go back to your mother's house. My mother and I don't say such unhappy things."

When Jia's mother came forward, Jia Min couldn't afford to haggle over every detail with Mrs. Wang, but thinking about the money owed now, she couldn't help but said: "Mother, don't blame me for bringing up the old things again. Let's pay back the money from the household department. Listen to me, mother, the emperor is serious this time."

Mrs. Wang frowned and said: "Grandma said it lightly, our family owes a million taels, plus the interest in these years has also increased a lot. How can the Lin family's 20 taels be compared? How can our family get it all at once?" Come out."

Jia Min squinted at the past, "Second sister-in-law, don't cry poorly in front of me. I know something about our family's situation. When I was still there, I also managed the family's account books with my sister-in-law. There is always 200 million Yes. I have only been married for three years, but I don’t know how the money was spent in the hands of my second sister-in-law in these three years, and how I couldn’t even repay more than 100 million silver.”

This is a proper accusation that she has enriched her own pocket.Mrs. Wang was so angry that she tore off a corner of the handkerchief in her hand, "Grandma doesn't know that since the old lady became a scholar, the family has no livelihood. This day, I can only go out but not in, and no matter how big the gold mountain is, I can eat it." It's free. Besides, although my aunt has only been married for three years, she managed the account book five or six years ago."

Jia Min looked at her and squinted her eyes, "I don't know, it turns out that all the shops in our family don't make money, and the title salary of my father and elder brother is not counted as income. I remember..."

As she was talking, she felt a pain in her wrist. When she looked down, she saw Jia Mu pinching her hand and saying, "Okay, it's okay to say what these things are for."

Jia Min opened his mouth.At that time, the elder sister-in-law Zhang managed the house in an orderly manner.Unfortunately, after giving birth to the eldest son, Jia Hu, she suffered from physical loss and lacked energy.Jia's mother preferred the second room again, so she gave the housekeeper to Wang.

When Jia Min was still at home, she was aware of Wang's attempt to bring public property into her private house.After Jia Hu's early death, Mrs. Zhang fainted on the spot and left after giving birth to Jia Lian.After Mrs. Zhang left, Mrs. Wang's actions became even more rampant.

Jia Min didn't believe that her mother couldn't see Wang Shi's actions, but she didn't care about them, even a bit arrogant.For example, now, this is the attitude that she is not allowed to mention it again.Jia Min felt a little uneasy.

A thought flashed across him. Let Jia Zheng live in Rongxi Hall, maybe he was thinking of giving him the title in the future?Indulging Wang's behavior, I'm afraid it's because the title is approved by the superior, not her decision, so if it doesn't work, at least the second room can have money?

Jia Min's heart tightened, Jia's mother was a little biased, and she only thought it was a little biased, but she never thought of being biased to this point.She looked at Jia Mu and wanted to say something, but she felt that the strength on her wrist was getting heavier each time.Jia Min felt a chill in his heart, and finally shut up.

Mother Jia breathed a sigh of relief, let go of Jia Min, and said: "Young Master followed Li Shangshu to deal with the money owed. You asked us to pay back the money now, but what have you heard?"

Jia Min originally wanted to tell them, but thinking of the attitudes of Jiamu and Wang's earlier, for some reason, she didn't want to say anything when the words came to her lips, and she just said vaguely: "My master never said much about the things in the court. I don’t know. It’s just that I heard the master occasionally say a few words to the mother-in-law. This time, the emperor is probably serious, and he can’t just fool it. Mother, if there are silver taels at home, it’s better to pay them back earlier.”

Mother Jia felt relieved, patted her hand, and stopped talking.After all, the emperor's attitude is still there, it is not the same as before, it is just crying poor.Jia Min might be thinking too much.

Knowing that mother is more like a daughter, Jia Min looked at Jia Mu's face and knew that she didn't take it to heart. Her lips moved slightly, but seeing that Jia Mu had already started talking to Wang Shi, she finally gritted her teeth and sighed.After sitting for another moment, he talked with Jia Mu for a while, then got up to leave.

It's just that after returning to Lin's house, I still feel as if I have a stuffy breath in my chest, and I can't breathe it out or swallow it, which is very uncomfortable.

After the incident with Mrs. Wang happened, Jia Min cleared up the people in the courtyard, but the four big girls who followed her changed three.The one serving her today is the son of the Lin family, who was brought up just a few years ago.The name is Ruizhu.

Seeing Jia Min like this, Rui Zhu said, "Madam is not feeling well? Do you want to invite the imperial doctor to have a look?"

"It's nothing, it's just a moment of bad breath, just rest for a while. There's no need to make such a big commotion."

Ruizhu hesitated for a while, then said: "Madam's menstruation is two days late this month."

Jia Min was taken aback, and sat up from the imperial concubine's couch, but before the joy appeared on his face, he frowned again, "It's usually four or five days late. Maybe... maybe..."

She is the daughter-in-law who came in and has nothing to do for three years, even though her mother-in-law and husband are good to her now.But she was always apprehensive and hoped for the birth of the child even more.But what if you make a mistake?When the time comes to make such a big commotion, it will become a joke instead.

"The wife is just too careful. Even if she is not, the wife is not feeling well, what's the matter with an imperial doctor? Besides, what if it is true?"

Jia Min thought about it, and finally nodded in agreement, and asked someone to take Lin Ruhai's post to the imperial hospital to ask for an imperial doctor.The doctor Xu who came here is a master in gynecology. He took the pulse and only said that Jia Min should have a good pregnancy and come back for a consultation in a few days.I also told Ruizhu that it is cold these days, and I can't use any irritating things.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Jia Min was overjoyed.Just ask the people around you not to spread the word.

Ten days later, Imperial Physician Xu came to check the pulse again, and then he said with a smile: "Ma'am, I am happy!"
