Jia Min of the Red Chamber is very arrogant

When Lin Shuo met in a full moon, Mrs. Wu and Jia Min got along very well. Later, they often exchanged letters.Today, Jia Min received a letter from Mrs. Wu again. It turns out that Jia Lian's husband has already been selected.Surnamed Fang, he was a Juren who failed the Jinshi examination.In Jia Min's view, it is natural for the husband to invite Jinshi who does not want to be an official, but now that Jia Lian is young and his enlightenment is two years later than ordinary children, it is enough to be a master.

It turned out that Mrs. Wu had her own considerations. She watched coldly these days when she came in. Her mother-in-law, Mrs. Shi, valued Jia Zhu very much, and she wished she could leave it to Jia Zhu.She had just entered the door, so it was too conspicuous for Jia Lian to pass Jia Zhu all at once.

Master Juren is just right, the gentleman who has not surpassed Jia Zhu, and his knowledge is not bad.Mrs. Wu estimated that Mr. Fang should teach Jia Lian for two years first, and then plan carefully in the future.Although she has a contract with Jia Min, Jia Min is the daughter of her mother-in-law's direct relative, so it is inconvenient to tell Jia Min about these considerations.

After reading the letter, Jia Min sighed, thinking, if so, Jia Lian is much better than her previous life.At least he won't stay at home for a few years, and then throw it away to study at home and finish reading a few books. The eldest son and grandson of the dignified Duke's mansion finally fell into the second room to be a thankless housekeeper.

Apart from Lin Shuo's great reputation, Jia Min has nothing wrong with her.Children grow up extremely fast, and a year flies by. Lin Shuo has passed his second birthday, and Lin Ruhai will be serving in Hanlin Garden for three years.According to the intention of the husband and wife, it is natural to let go outside, but I don't know where to go.

Jia's mother asked several times what the uncle meant, but Jia Min said she didn't know.What Jia Mu meant, of course, felt that nowhere was as good as the capital, not to mention that she was really reluctant to part with this grandson of her first relative. After several trials, she said: With the talent, learning and character of my aunt, it is very easy to find a job in Beijing.

Jia Min only said that these things are not for women in the back house to participate in, and the officials have their own considerations about where to go next.

Unexpectedly, these words reminded Jia's mother that Lin Ruhai's uncle Gu Ying was in the official department.He laughed and said, "I didn't think of it for a while, isn't my aunt's uncle in the official department?"

Jia Min was shocked when he heard this, why did he forget this, because he smiled and said: "Uncle still has a minister above him, how can he be the master?"

Jia's mother wasn't worried about Lin Ruhai's future, but rather worried about Jia Zheng's official career.Jia Zheng went to work every day, rain or shine, and was very diligent, but the annual evaluation was mediocre. Although the Ministry of Industry was also lacking, he could never get important jobs.At this time, Jia's mother was testing Jia Min, and she originally meant to move around for Jia Zheng in the future.

There are many old ministers of the Duke of the State, but most of them are in the army, and the foundation among civil servants is limited.If you were to find an errand for Jia Zheng, don't ask Gu Ying to do anything, just turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. When the Minister of the Ministry of Officials asked, he would just say a few nice words, and the other joints would be dredged by Jia's own.

Jia Min hastily pushed back, even though Jia Zheng was his second elder brother, he never dared to involve his uncle's family for him.Seeing Jia Min like this, Jia's mother was inevitably disappointed.

Jia Min thought about it, in her previous life, her mother did a lot to help her second brother's official career, but she never asked him.After thinking about it for a while, I realized that I was confused in my previous life, and I didn't get so close to the Gu family, so how could my mother speak up?

Because of Jia Min's refusal to promise to persuade Lin Ruhai to stay in Beijing and his refusal to look after Jia Zheng's family, the relationship between mother and son has been good for more than two years.However, Jia Min has already made up her mind, if the officials arrange for Lin Ruhai to be released, she will pack up and go with her without saying a word. Whether it is going to a poor mountain or a rich country, the only family will be together.

On the other side, Emperor Xikang met Lin Ruhai in the upper study.

On the dragon chair, the sage looked down at a memorial. He had read it for a while without hearing the flipping sound.Lin Ruhai didn't dare to disturb her, and just stood quietly by her side, waiting for the saint's order.

It turned out that Emperor Xikang obtained the memorabilia of Zhen Yingjia, the censor who inspected salt in the south of the Yangtze River, saying that Wenlan, the Taoist guard in the south of the Yangtze River, was corrupt and perverted the law, and asked the emperor to order an investigation.Both Shoudao and Xunyan Yushi of this dynasty have the duty to participate in the performance, so both of them can go directly to Tianting.

And Fen Shou Dao is in charge of a provincial money valley, and Jiangnan is the granary of the country. How important is it?The post of guarding the Tao in the south of the Yangtze River is no small matter, and it even has a relationship with the foundation of the country.Emperor Xikang also felt that it was very difficult to accept the secret performance.

Wen Lan is the second son of the late Wen Xiangguo, and he was also an official through the imperial examination. Although it is from the fourth rank, how important is the division of Taoism in the south of the Yangtze River?Wen Lan, who has just passed his thirties, got this position and has not moved for several years, which shows that Emperor Xikang attaches great importance to him.

If Zhen Yingjia's performance is true, an official with comparable ability is needed to take over. If Zhen Yingjia's performance is false, it proves that Jiangnan is somewhat out of the control of the imperial court, and the officials pointed out by the emperor can still be falsely accused, which shows the depth of Jiangnan.The people who are sent there must be more capable than Wen Lan in order to be able to take over smoothly.

Emperor Xikang felt that Lin Ruhai was suitable, but he was afraid that the humerus minister he wanted to train would be lost in the south of the Yangtze River, so he hesitated.

Emperor Xikang stared at the secret music for a long time, Fang raised his head, and handed over a roll of imperial edict with a jade seal on it, Lin Ruhai respectfully accepted it, but heard the saint say: "After Aiqing arrives in Jinling, if If it is found that the clerics have violated the law, they can be replaced at any time. If the clerics are wronged, Aiqing will still take over the post of guarding the Tao in the south of the Yangtze River after this term expires."

Lin Ruhai received the order to thank him, and when he got the order to stand up, he felt as if a thousand gold burden was on his shoulders.

From the seventh rank to the fourth rank, he has been promoted to five ranks in a row. Even if Lin Ruhai has not fully understood the situation in Jiangnan, he can imagine the difficulties and obstacles in it.After Lin Ruhai received the secret decree, Emperor Xikang briefly introduced the pattern of Jiangnan, and Lin Ruhai felt that the burden on his shoulders was even heavier.

Wen Lan is none other than Lin Ruhai's cousin-in-law, Gu Xizhi's husband, the daughter of Gu's parents, and none other than the patriarch of the Zhen family in Jiangnan, an old relative of the four major families of Jia Shi Wang Xue, who is currently a Jiangning weaving and inspector. Zhen Yingjia of Yan Yushi.

Talking about the complex relationship among them is like a spider's web, and if you are not careful, you will get caught up in the fire. Just say that this year, there are floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and the summer grain production has decreased. It's hard to say whether it's true that the cleric and Taoist is alone in dereliction of duty, or that the officials in Jiangnan are eager to pass the blame on to a lone official appointed by Beijing Central Committee.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake, and it is appointed by the central government to guard the Tao. At that time, officials appointed by the central government were squeezed out and framed by local officials. Even in some remote provinces where government orders are difficult to reach, some officials appointed by the central government died in office for no reason. In the end, it became a case without a leader. In the end, it was said that he died of a serious illness in office, but another person was sent to settle the matter.

However, Jiangnan in this dynasty is different. When Emperor Tai/Zu conquered the world, the big clans in Jiangnan made great efforts, like the second Duke Ning Rong who was born in the army, not to mention fighting in all directions.The ancestors of the Xue family were able to win the title of Ziwei Sheren because they donated a large amount of money, silk, food and grass, and had the merit of following the dragon.It is precisely because of the great effort back then that the great clans in the south of the Yangtze River have extremely deep roots and cannot be easily moved.

Since Emperor Xikang came to the throne, his politics has been clear and clear, and he has made a lot of achievements, but he also has a headache for the Jiangnan province.The famous families in the south of the Yangtze River are proud of their ancestors' meritorious deeds. If they are not suppressed, they will shake the foundation of the country one day. If they act too hastily, and they are afraid of causing backlash, the consequences will be no small matter.I have to figure it out slowly.

Lin Ruhai received the secret performance and went out of the palace, heaving a sigh of relief, he wanted to let it go, but he didn't know it was such a tricky place to go.

Back home, Jia Min came out to greet her, and there was no need to describe the changing clothes.

It only said that Lin Ruhai and his wife had a very strong relationship, and they didn't hide anything from each other. They told Jia Min what happened today when they were resting at night.

It turns out that Jia Min thought that in his previous life, Lin Ruhai was also sent to the south of the Yangtze River, to take over Zhen Yingjia's inspector censor, who usually took the important position of Datian Ting, but in this life, he was a few years earlier.Jia Min has always suspected that Lin Ruhai's funeral was related to the power struggle in the south of the Yangtze River, but her soul cannot leave the capital, so she doesn't know the truth.

How dangerous is it to go to the south of the Yangtze River so early in this life, in the name of taking over, but in fact, it represents the Holy One fighting for power with the local government?Jia Min unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat, and said for a long time: "The Holy Majesty entrusts such an important position to the master, we will no longer be afraid that the holy man will be jealous of Brother Shuo's reputation."

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai felt that it was reasonable and a good thing, and Fang's mood became clearer.

Jia Min concealed her worries, fearing that it would be unlucky to speak out.They also comforted themselves with the words that the two of them got a brother early in this life, and the master's official fortune was better than in the previous life. He thought that the fate of this life had changed, and his family would be safe and smooth, and so on. Then the two fell asleep.Only Jia Min didn't sleep soundly all night.

There are two edicts for Lin Ruhai to take office in the south of the Yangtze River. One is an explicit order to appoint Lin Ruhai as the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, and an official from the official department will issue a document to hand over his appointment. , just play it by ear.

So the news of Lin Ruhai's release from the Ministry of Officials spread after it was finalized. Even the prefect of Yingtian Mansion was promoted to four ranks in a row, and countless people congratulated him.There are also people who are unhappy.

Jia's mother really loved Lin Shuo very much. She always felt happy to see such a smart and well-mannered child.Now that he learned that Lin Ruhai was going to be released, and that he couldn't change it after knowing the official registration, although he felt regretful, there was no other way.

But after thinking about it for several days, Mother Jia always felt unwilling.First, he persuaded Jia Min not to take up the post with Lin Ruhai. Although Jinling is also a land of fish and rice, it is not as good as the capital. If he stays in the capital and has his own care, let the aunt take up the post alone. Ren Man finds a way to return to Beijing.When Jia Min heard such a request, she thought it was ridiculous, so she pushed it without thinking.Jia's mother also knew that this was unreasonable, but it was just a temptation to keep Lin Shuo by her side.

After Jia Min refused, Jia's mother said that young couples should stay together, and it turned out that her request was unreasonable.But he wanted to keep Brother Shuo by his side, because he said to Jia Min: "You know the rules in our house, which one is not good for food and clothing? Brother Shuo is my grandson, can I Is it okay to treat him badly? Keep him in my house, I love him more than Zhuer Lianer.

There are many princes and grandsons in the capital, and I will bring more respectable brothers. It is a small friendship that will benefit endlessly in the future.You took Brother Shuo to go out, and when you come back in the future, how many people will be left behind in terms of connections.With this one thing alone, how much will Brother Shuo benefit from staying in the capital?

Brother Shuo is your eldest son, and I know you were reluctant to part with him, but he is two years old now, and my aunt has served for one term. When I come back in three years, I will send Brother Shuo to school. It will be no problem for you to take him back again.If my aunt is still in the south of the Yangtze River three years later, I will send someone to send Brother Shuo to you.If you want to let me go with my aunt, don't stop me, but I'm doing it for Brother Shuo's own good, so you just leave Brother Shuo to me to raise for a few years. "

Jia Min heard this utterly confused words, thinking of her mother in her previous life who didn't know what she said to her husband and insisted on picking up Daiyu, but in the end she didn't say whether she treated her well or not, she couldn't even protect her for a whole week. Thinking of Daiyu in her previous life, In this life, my husband and wife are both together, and my mother wants to force Lin Shuo to stay. Jia Min feels angry.The tone was a little blunt and said: "Mother is confused. The descendants of the Lin family are raised in Jia's mansion. What can others say about our master? Do you want the master to be poked in the back and say that he is the son-in-law of Rongguo mansion!"

Although Jia Min disapproved of her mother's words and deeds in many things before, but because she is her own mother, she also tolerated everything, but this time she was really angry, her words were inevitably fierce, and her face was not good-looking. .

Jia's mother didn't know about her past life, and felt that her proposal was for Lin Shuo's benefit, and it was fine if Jia Min refused. How can a daughter and mother be so arrogant?There was also unhappiness in my heart, and I said coldly: "Come on, the children are grown up, so my wife is worrying too much, but she is just being sentimental! I forgot that you are already the wife of the Lin family, and I still think you are the Duke's mansion." Miss, you are so wrong."

Jia Minfang came back to his senses and saw that his mother was already angry, so he tried to persuade her a few words on the scene, but she was not as courteous as before, and she was sure to make her happy.The mother and daughter broke up unhappy.

How can the servants of Jia's mansion have a gatekeeper?If you don't spread any words outside, these things will be known to the two wives in a short while.

Mrs. Wu heard her mother-in-law making such a request, she snorted and did not speak, but thought in her heart: I am so self-righteous, I have never seen a mother-in-law make decisions on the head of a son-in-law, and the eldest son is raised by the mother-in-law. The brother-in-law himself was said to be out of his mouth. It is true that the ancestors of the Lin family will lose face.The family is also a family of four generations of princes, how could they agree to such a silly request?

Mrs. Wang also sneered when she heard this, and said in her heart: This is what Jia Mu said was unreasonable, but Jia Min is also too ignorant of good people.How many people can you recognize with your son outside?There is no need to waste the good reputation that the Lin family has accumulated in the past two years.But it's better for Jia Min to take Lin Shuo and put it down, otherwise he will be bored if he steals Zhu'er and Yuan Chun's favor.

Originally, Lin Ruhai had been promoted several levels, and Jia Zheng, who had surpassed the fifth grade, made Mrs. Wang a little unhappy, but thinking that since the Lin family left the imperial city, their future prospects would be greatly reduced. Now that Jia Min has offended Jia Mu again, what can he gain? benefit?I lamented again that Jia Min really became more and more daring. He offended the Beijing Palace more than two years ago, and now his direct mother dared to offend him.

But she didn't want to admit it, deep down, she was very envious of Jia Min, she had already gained the reputation of dignified and virtuous, a Bodhisattva-like person, how could Jia Min live so freely and unrestrainedly?Whenever she thinks of this, Mrs. Wang always thinks of her good reputation, and suddenly feels a sense of pride spontaneously, but she never dares to face the contradictions deep in her heart and her envy for Jia Min.Not wanting to face these false names is a shackle on one's shoulders.

Jia Min returned home and started packing up, preparing to go south before the river froze in the thick winter.

The roads are difficult to travel in winter. At that time, the Beijing officials released them, and it is best to wait until the next spring to thaw and then go on the roads.But Jia Min knew that this trip to the south of the Yangtze River was dangerous, so he went earlier to learn more about the local situation, which would be of great benefit to her husband, so she didn't want to wait for a few more months.

Lin Ruhai originally meant this, but his wife is sweet and his son is young, so how can he say that? Unexpectedly, when he came back from get off work this day, Jia Min had already started packing and was busy.

Lin Ruhai took Jia Min's hand and said, "It's hard to travel in winter, I've wronged you and Brother Shuo."

Jia Min said with a smile: "You and I are a husband and wife, how can there be any grievances? Brother Shuo is small, but he is in good health, and he is not afraid of traveling far."

Lin Ruhai also said, Brother Shuo is not afraid of anything, a man should exercise more, but Miner, you are delicate, and you have never suffered such hardship.Jia Min's heart was sweet after hearing this, and she just annoyed that she had practiced martial arts for more than half a year, and her spirit was much better than in previous years, so why did she become so delicate.

The Gu family got the news that Lin Ruhai had released Jinling from overseas, Mrs. He brought Mrs. Gu Huai and Brother Ning to the Lin Mansion.It turned out that Wenlan was in Jinling, so Mrs. He brought Gu Ying's handwritten letter, took Jia Min's hand and said: "When we get to the land, let my nephew hand it over to Wenlan. Unfortunately, my eldest sister has been in Jinling for a long time, so I should get to know you better." , when you need anything, they can take care of it.”

Jia Min accepted the letter, and thanked him endlessly.But he knew in his heart that because Zhen Yingjia's memorial to impeach Wenlan was secret, the Gu family didn't know that Wenlan was in danger at the moment, but the kindness of his uncle and aunt was rare, and Jia Min was very moved.

After seeing off the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Gu family, Mrs. Wu came with Jia Lian the next day.

Mrs. Wu brought a lot of practical gifts on the road, and asked Jia Min if there was anything she couldn't do, so she just told her.Jia Min felt warm again, and said with a smile: "Our family is small, and we don't bring many things, so we don't bother my sister-in-law when cleaning up. Since my sister-in-law asked, I'm not polite. I have something to do. I am going to entrust my sister-in-law to do it, I am afraid that I will make my mother angry and hurt my sister-in-law's relationship with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Wu has a straightforward personality, and she asked with a smile, what I can do, I will do my best.Jia Min just said that this time he is leaving the capital, the Zhuangzi's shop in the middle of the capital will be arranged by the master, but this is the ancestral house of the Lin family. If my sister-in-law is free, she can just visit it once or twice a year.

Mrs. Wu readily agreed, saying it was not a big deal.

Originally, Jia Min thought about entrusting the Gu family with the matter of the ancestral house, but Mrs. He is getting old, and Mrs. Gu Huai wants to take care of Brother Ning. I don't know if Mrs. Gu Huai is going to have another child in the past few years, please trouble them Not good.Lian'er has already gone to school, and the elder sister-in-law is determined to take care of the affairs of the East Courtyard, so she may still have some free time.

Jia Min asked Lian'er why she didn't go to school?Jia Lian pulled Jia Min and said, Auntie, are you going far away?When are you coming back?It seemed that he was very reluctant to part with Jia Min.Jia Min hugged Jia Lian and said a few words of comfort, saying that she would bring Lian'er a lot of stubbornness when she came back to Beijing.

Mrs. Wu said that Lian'er was reluctant to part with you, so she must follow me to have a look.Left and right he is young, how long will it take to make up for a day's homework?Since he wanted to come, he brought such words.The two aunts and sisters-in-law said a lot of other personal things, and Mrs. Wu took Jia Lian to leave.

The trip to the south should be done sooner rather than later, for fear that the road will be more difficult if it is late.

Therefore, Jia Min packed up quickly and didn't bring much.She only paid attention to books, rare calligraphy and paintings, etc., packed more than a dozen large boxes, and sealed them secretly with oilcloth, so as not to get wet on the road.Jia Min also hesitated for a long time whether to bring books, calligraphy and paintings to the south, but he thought that he had stayed in the south for a long time in his previous life. It is very important to keep these things moisture-proof and insect-proof. It was broken by rough hands and feet, and I regretted it too late, so I picked up the important and precious ones and took them south. Lin Ruhai agreed very much after hearing this.

Before setting off, Lin Ruhai met the saint again. Emperor Xikang also thought about Lin Ruhai's wife and son, who went south a year ago, in case halfway through the journey, the road would be frozen and it would be even more difficult, so he didn't say to let Lin Ruhai hurry up, but in his heart was I want Lin Ruhai to go south as soon as possible.Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai was very kind, and packed up very quickly, and boarded the ship on auspicious days.

On the day of the boat trip, Jia Min saw Lin Ruhai standing on the bow of the boat, tall and handsome, with a handsome appearance, and Lin Ruhai's beloved horse, Zhaoyeyu Lion Yunfan, stood beside him.Seeing the majestic imperial city receding further and further away, recalling that in his previous life, he left the capital and never came back, and he was filled with emotion.There is a long way to go, but I hope that when the time comes, the whole family can return to Beijing, and everyone in the family will be safe.

The author has something to say: In this chapter, Jia's mother forced Liu Lin's elder brother to be very unreasonable. I'm going to slander her again, but she really likes to raise other people's children.In the original book, Lin Ruhai was also planning to let Daiyu keep her studies, but later she insisted on picking her up; Xichun from Ningguo Mansion picked her up, and Xiangyun from her natal family also came to pick her up every few days.
