Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

"Son-in-law Lin is upright and upright. He has lived in Yangzhou officialdom for a long time, so he may not understand the twists and turns in our capital. You are her daughter-in-law, remember to help him more. Your second brother has been an official in Beijing for many years. If there is anything unfamiliar Don't understand, don't ask him to be polite, just trouble his second brother." Mother Jia didn't notice the change in Jia Min's face, and continued talking cheerfully.

Jia Min's brows became more and more wrinkled, and his eyes gradually lowered. He was not as excited as before, but he responded politely.

It was so easy to bid farewell to Jia's mother, Jia Min hurried to confront Lin Ruhai, wanting to know which of his mother's words and what he said before was true.

"Do you need to ask? If I was really appointed to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry, why would I go to the Ministry of Officials to be questioned and run for election later? You see, he generously told me to go directly to the Ministry of Officials instead of his house, which already explained the problem." " Lin Ruhai put on the official uniform under the service of the maid, walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked Jia Min to keep his mouth shut, and don't spread the nonsense words of Jia Mu to the East Mansion, otherwise It's them who are ashamed.

Jia Min nodded, naturally understanding the truth.But just now when she saw that her husband's face remained unchanged when he heard what she said, she guessed that he might have expected her mother to have such remarks.

Jia Min's face suddenly became hot, and she felt an indescribable depression in her heart. She knew that Lin Ruhai's heart must be helpless.In fact, not only has his mother's temperament changed in this regard, but her attitude towards her is also not the same as before.In the past, she doted on her, but she also knew how to teach her, and she saw things more clearly, so she could distinguish between priorities.Now, not only do they blindly spoil Baoyu, spoil him too much, and don't teach him at all, but he is also foolishly arrogant and doesn't know right from wrong.In short, this time she came back, although she was warmly welcomed, but it always felt that something was wrong, and it couldn't tell what it was, but it just didn't feel right.I always have a faint feeling that I shouldn't have lived here for too long, maybe I really have been away from home for a long time, and I only regard the Lin family as my most comfortable nest.

When Lin Ruhai arrived at the Ministry of Officials, he was the first one, and then the other four officials to be elected arrived one after another.Seeing Lin Ruhai, the four people greeted each other politely, and joked that it was not easy for everyone to wait for a long time to see his real face.Lin Ruhai apologized to everyone.

Sun Qian, the magistrate of Yuzhou, smiled and said to Lin Ruhai, "You have the farthest way, so naturally you will be late, so there is no need to apologize. I just don't know how today's selection will be conducted. Is it a question and answer, or a competition?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Sun Qian laughed twice, blinked at the other three, then turned around and asked Lin Ruhai, "You really don't know?"

Lin Ruhai felt that Sun Qian's words were a bit strange. Could it be that he had clearly heard his own answer just now.At this moment, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but answer, and only said: "I really don't know."

"It shouldn't be, I heard that your family has relatives in the official department?" Another official asked half-jokingly, but he looked at Lin Ruhai seriously.

Sun Qianzhen watched the fun happily.

Lin Ruhaifang realized that these people wanted to exclude him, so he frowned and remained silent.

Afterwards, Sun Qian kept talking and joking with the other three, but the four never spoke to Lin Ruhai again.

After a stick of incense, the reporter who sent the message came, and Sun Qian waited in silence.

Yan Liang entered the house with Yang Feikua, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.After being greeted by everyone, Yang Feiqian sat at the head.Next, let's talk about some scenes, and tell them that the sage wants to select the minister of the Ministry of Industry from among the five of them.

Yang Feikuan turned his head to signal Yan Liang, "Look at it."

Yan Liang nodded to Yang Feikuang: "I've finished reading it." After finishing speaking, he turned around and wrote something on a piece of paper, stuffed it into an envelope and handed it to Yang Feiguang.Yan Liang bid farewell, leaving Yang Feikuai here alone.

Lin Ruhai, Sun Qian and others were puzzled when they saw this.

Next, Yang Feikuan took the school examination in public, asked about his political achievements, and asked about his virtues.Among them, Sun Qian and Lin Ruhai's answers were outstanding, while the other three stuttered and were a little dumbfounded when they mentioned political achievements, which clearly showed their lack of ability.The three of them seemed to be just a foil, to set off the excellence of Lin Ruhai and Sun Qian.

Yang Feiqian had already made up his mind, and left holding the envelope that Yan Liang gave him just now.

Sun Qian attached great importance to this chance of promotion, and before coming to Beijing, he asked his friends to help him with presents and find out the news.As soon as he was in Beijing, he found out that Yan Liang and Lin Ruhai were related. Originally, he heard that Yan Liang was in charge of the assessment, but he was worried that it would be unfair.But looking at the posture just now, it should be the Minister of Rites who is in charge of this matter, Jia Yanliang is just going through the motions, which makes people feel more at ease.Sun Qian is very confident about the questioning and testing. He once solved a big case in Yuzhou, he worked hard and made great achievements, and his political achievements are no worse than Lin Ruhai.

However, he still had other worries in his heart.There were rumors that Jia Yanliang would meet each other, so the emperor relied heavily on him.The source of this news is not clear, and Sun Qian is not sure.However, he firmly believes that the current sage is a wise king, and he will not do any stupid things that believe in "face-to-face".

The five left together, Sun Qian deliberately slowed down, and finally stopped Lin Ruhai from behind.

"Now that the exam is over, you don't have to be afraid to tell me the truth. It is fate that we can take the exam together. No matter who is selected in the future, we will still be friends. What do you think?"

Lin Ruhai had already been on guard against him, thinking that he had a purpose, so how could he easily agree.

"What else is there for Mrs. Sun? My daughter is weak, and I am in a hurry to go back and see her."

"Nothing, just curious about what that relative of yours did just now?"

"To tell you the truth, I just arrived in the capital yesterday and I haven't met him formally yet. Today's meeting is the first time I have seen him since I came to Beijing. I don't know the specific situation, besides, this is an official business of the Ministry of Officials. , I have no right to ask." You Ruhai answered him seriously.

Sun Qian sneered, naturally he didn't feel that he was telling the truth, he looked at Lin Ruhai contemptuously, feeling that he was still powerful in the city, and left after saying that

After Yang Feiqian and Hubu Shangshu Qi Shengao met, Fang went to face the saint together.

The emperor opened the letter and looked at the name on the envelope. He was a little surprised, but he also felt that it was expected.He smiled and asked Yang Feikuan if he could read it, and Yang Feikuan nodded.

"Before the assessment, he saw the people and then wrote down their names and left. The subsequent assessments were all presided over by me alone. He didn't know what these people were like or what their political achievements were."

"It turns out that there is an explanation below." The emperor flattened the paper and looked carefully. "The three small officials who make up the numbers are all accurate, but if he bothers to check carefully, he can find out these people. But this Sun Qian , said that he has a 'corrupt face', I really think he is very powerful. Last night, I received a secret report from the secret guard investigation, and I knew that Sun Qian was a corrupt official. He has been in Yuzhou all these years The emperor is indeed a good official with a clean and honest government. The common people praise him, and even I think he is talented. I never expected that he would run a gambling shop in the dark, and those who begged him would deliberately lose money. Come in exchange for convenience. Hmph, what a clever corrupt official!" The emperor sneered.

Qi Shengao asked the emperor if he wanted to deal with this person immediately.

The emperor slammed the table down and said angrily: "This kind of scum, if you stay for another day, you will be disgusted with me! Take it down for me, and strictly investigate and judge."

Qi Shen responded, and then asked about the candidate for the emperor's Minister of Industry.

"Let's decide on Lin Ruhai. I think Yan Liang's ability to read looks is very good. Do you think this is strange?"

"Odd, think about it carefully, he has practiced Taoism for two years, and he thinks it is reasonable again." Qi Shengao replied.

"I have been cultivating all my life, but I have never seen someone with his ability." The emperor was still puzzled.

Qi Shen laughed loudly, "He is different, there are very few Taoist priests who were born as Jinshi."

It made sense for the emperor to think about it. He can only say that he is smart enough and has superb academic skills. "In another day, I will have to ask him about his face, how he sees it."

The matter of promoting Lin Ruhai has come to an end, but it will take a few more days for the specific draft to be communicated.There are very few people who know this news, so it is naturally kept secret from the outside world, and no one outside knows it for the time being.

At this time, after Lin Ruhai returned home, Jia's mother asked him how he went to the official department.Lin Ruhai answered yes.Mother Jia was still not reconciled, so she said a few more words of concern, and finally couldn't help nagging him that he must pay attention to Yan Liang's situation.

"If he really loses his face and asks you for something, or wants you to remember his 'kindness' to help him, you definitely don't have to show him any face, just refuse." When Jia Mu mentioned Yan Liang, her expression was uneasy. Consciously became a little uncomfortable.

Lin Ruhai couldn't bear it any longer, "I dare not slander others for clinging to me, it's a fact that I'm in his favor. The reason why I can come to Beijing to participate in the candidacy is because he insisted on his own opinion at the beginning, he didn't recommend the good to avoid relatives, and he insisted on He rated my grades as top-notch. Besides, if he hadn’t informed me back then, I wouldn’t have given birth to the intention of returning to Beijing. Now there are four people who are also candidates. Is it true that I will be decided? No, everything depends on the evaluation of the Ministry of Officials, and the final decision of the saint."

"What did you say? He did your performance appraisal? There are actually five candidates for the Minister of Industry..." Mother Jia was startled, her body was shaking a little, she almost rolled her eyes and fainted.

It was difficult for Jia's mother to calm down, and she felt ashamed of being ignorant.It turned out that she had misunderstood the whole thing from the beginning to the end. She always thought that her Tanhua son-in-law earned the opportunity with his own strength. She never thought that Yan Liang, who had previously made things difficult for Rongfu, would kindly recommend her son-in-law. .

I thought they were trying to cling to them, but now the truth is that they have been favored by others.And if they want to really sit in that official position, they have to get along well with Yan Liang, so that they can get timely news.

Mother Jia leaned over to rest for a while, thinking carefully and calmly, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry is indeed too prestigious, if she loses a good opportunity in a fit of anger at this time, the loss outweighs the gain.What's more, after Lin Ruhai went to the top, it would be of great benefit to Jia Zhenghui, who was also in the Ministry of Industry.Mother Jia felt that she was really humiliated by her nonsense and self-importance this time, but she couldn't give up this great opportunity because of this.

She summoned Jia Zheng and asked him to go to the warehouse in the back building to prepare some valuable gifts for Lin Ruhai.

"Son-in-law Lin is a foreign relative after all. No matter how fierce you respect your brother, you are too embarrassed to do anything to him. Besides, he will help your brother-in-law become the minister of the Ministry of Industry. He must be thinking that he will also benefit in the future and have a solid foundation in the officialdom. Otherwise, he is a fifth-rank official without a backer, how can he get along in Beijing? Tomorrow, you will ask your brother-in-law to beg him with a gift, and remember to tell him to go by himself. It doesn't matter if it's a compliment, or it doesn't matter if you speak ill of us, as long as he can get this chance of promotion, he will do anything."

That night, Second Sister You was halfway through her handwriting practice. When she wrote "Father", she suddenly cried. She cried so badly that she secretly burned paper to pay homage to her biological father.

Early in the morning of the next day, the emperor went crazy for some reason, and suddenly ordered Yan Liang to be promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

This news made Yan Liang feel sudden, but he was not surprised, after all, he had the patience to endure good luck all the time.But there was an uproar in the Rong Mansion.

When Jia's mother got out of bed and heard the news, she even forgot to put on her coat and wanted to find Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai.

When Yan Liang was a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Officials, it was not embarrassing for Jia's mother to ask Lin Ruhai, who might become a servant of the Ministry of Industry, to beg him.At least it can be considered as a matter of mutual help and mutual benefit.After all, the official rank of Lin Ruhai in the future will be several levels higher than that of Yan Liang's official doctor.The transaction between the two parties is considered to be of the same level, and it can even be said that it is a free opportunity for Yan Liang to give alms and favors.

But now, Yan Liang was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Officials before anyone asked for it.To ask is to ask for it.Really want to bow down in front of others, beg with a warm face and humbly.It's just here that you are happy to put your hot face on other people's cold buttocks, people may still think your face is stinky.Son-in-law Lin is so proud, how could he do such a thing?Even his second son, Jia Zheng, couldn't do this.Besides, they used to "measure the belly of a gentleman with a villain's heart", and it's okay to say that he was a fifth-rank without promotion, but now he has become a second-rank senior, and he can blow people to death with one breath. They don't even have the face to call people Go to the door to spread the word!
