The Lin family has a female named Qingyun [Red Mansion]
Chapter 22 Lin Hai Promoted to the Dealer to Beijing
As in the original book, Jia Zhen invited Wang Xifeng to take care of Qin Keqing's funeral after being recommended by Baoyu.Wang Xifeng got up early and returned late, promulgated all the rules, and organized the chaotic Dongfu in an orderly manner. All the servants were amazed. She was also very satisfied and enjoyed the satisfaction brought by power.
On the day of the funeral, Wang Xifeng took Baoyu and Qin Zhong to live in the mantou nunnery.
The two Baoyus who were inquiring had already rested, and everything was in order, and Wang Xifeng took a rest in the clean room specially cleaned up under the service of the aunt Jingxu in the temple.Seeing Jingxu, Wang Xifeng remembered something that he had forgotten, and he was very tired at the moment, so he didn't think much, let the little girl beat her legs, and she was about to fall asleep with her eyes closed.
Jingxu stood by the side and did not leave. He was asking for something, but seeing Wang Xifeng's eyes closed, he quickly leaned over and called twice in a low voice: "Second Grandma Lian, Second Grandma."
"What's the matter?" Wang Xifeng asked impatiently after hearing the voice vaguely.
"Second Grandma, I have something to ask Grandma." Jingxu told about the Zhang family and the defending family. "...Because I became a monk in Shancai Nunnery in Chang'an County when I was young, and I was acquainted with Zhang's family, so they entrusted me to ask the magistrate. It is said that the majesty has a good relationship with Master Yun Guangyun, the governor of Chang'an. If the majesty can trust me Talk to Master Yun, and then talk to the garrison family, I am not afraid that he will not back down. If this can be done, the Zhang family will be filial and willing."
Wang Xifeng felt familiar when he heard it, and finally opened his eyes with a jerk, and the sleepiness just now was gone.
"The Zhang family? His daughter's name is Brother Jin?" Wang Xifeng is the housekeeper of the Jia family. She has to mediate hundreds of things every day, and this time she is also organizing Qin Keqing's funeral. She is too busy to touch the ground. I heard a few days ago The Zhang family and the Li family had long forgotten about it, but now she just mentioned it, and she remembered it.
"Exactly." Jingxu didn't know what she was thinking, she just thought that the other party would definitely not refuse this matter, who would have trouble with Yinzi.
But Wang Xifeng cast a sideways glance at Jingxu, and said coldly: "I never care about such things, and I don't wait for money."
Jingxu was stunned, and then sighed after a while: "But the Zhang family already knew that I came to beg the family, but now the family doesn't care about it, the Zhang family doesn't think it's because the family has no time and doesn't care for his thank you gift, they just think that the family doesn't even care about this. It’s like there’s no idea.”
If it was usual, Wang Xifeng must have been aroused when he heard this, and must have agreed immediately, but it is different now.Wang Xifeng sneered and said: "Joke! What is the Zhang family? Even a local rich man dares to talk nonsense to the Duke's mansion, so carefully sue him for slander!"
"This, second grandma..." Jingxu was taken aback, she didn't expect Wang Xifeng's reaction.
Wang Xifeng's brows were upside down, her phoenix eyes were full of power, she was so frightened that Jingxu swallowed back half of her words.Wang Xifeng reprimanded in a cold voice: "Thank you for being an aunt, you actually do such things as go-betweens and women. You are not guilty of serving the Bodhisattva every day? Don't mention this in the future, otherwise you will never forgive me easily! I am tired, You go down!"
Originally, Wang Xifeng wanted to punish severely, but thought that Jia Lian had already investigated again, and it was time for the funeral, so she endured it.
A few days earlier, at the order of Jia's mother, Jia Lian was checking the cleanness, but it didn't matter if it was checked, but it involved many dirty things.Shuiyue Nunnery is a family temple, once something like this gets out, will the Jia family's reputation be ruined?Jia Lian didn't dare to ignore it. The evidence he has now is enough to completely clean up Shuiyue Temple, but considering that the funeral of Rong's daughter-in-law is not over, he can only suppress it for the time being, and thus does not disturb Jingxu.
This matter has been registered in front of the old lady, no matter how much money Wang Xifeng has, she dare not touch it, wishing to stay away from Jingxu.
I also remembered that Baoyu often mentioned Brother Jin recently, which made Mrs. Wang very unhappy, and the old lady praised Baoyu for her kindness.Also, the old lady is very concerned about the matter of Shuiyue Temple, so she must listen to the follow-up, if she knows that Jingxu has found her, even if she doesn't do anything, I'm afraid it will make a villain gossip all the time.
Wang Xifeng pondered for a moment, then ordered someone to call Wang'er and said: "Go and find the second master, ask the second master to find a husband who is in charge of the text, write a letter to Master Yun, the Jiedu envoy of Chang'an, and ask Master Yun to settle the matter of the Zhang family. If the second master asks, he will say that this is a good thing to do good deeds, even if the old lady knows it, she will not be annoyed, even if the second wife knows it, she will think of him."
Baoyu has a quirk, a girl is a treasure if she is not out of the court, but a dead fish eyeball if she is out of the court.Baoyu thinks about Brother Zhang Jin every day. Once he hears that Brother Zhang Jin is married, he will definitely throw it behind his neck. Mrs. Wang should also rest assured.
At this time, even Lin Qingyun did not expect that the tragic story in the original book was suddenly turned around.
Not long after the incident, Wang Xifeng received a reply letter saying that everything was settled, and what was even more interesting was that the defenders somehow got the news and sent someone to send a generous thank you gift.
The guard's family name is Zhao, and his ancestors are also a family of scholars. He has his own family background. The reason why he was dismissed from office was that he was framed by political enemies. He planned to delay his recovery for a few years.Although I don't know why Jia's family extended a helping hand for no reason, they are grateful. Since the rumor of Zhang's resignation came out, many people watched jokes in secret.Now that the case is settled, I finally let out a bad breath, and although the Zhang family is greedy for power and profit, it is rare that the daughter of the Zhang family is Zhenlie, and she can be regarded as a good daughter-in-law.
Jia Lian happened to be at home. Seeing these things, he said strangely, "The Zhao family? Which Zhao family? Zhao Yushi? Our family doesn't seem to have any contact with the Zhao family."
Wang Xifeng sneered and said, "Have you forgotten the good things Second Master has done?"
Ping'er on the side also said: "Second Master, do you still remember what Master Tuoyun did?"
Jia Lian slapped his head and remembered: "Oh, it turned out to be Zhao Shoubei's family from Chang'an Mansion. They know how to repay their kindness, and it's hard to show kindness to Second Mistress. It's not in vain."
Wang Xifeng's eyes widened, and his eyes waved: "Looking at what the second master said, it seems that I am usually a villain."
"Second Mistress is naturally a benevolent person, that's all I'm saying." Jia Lian was dazzled by a look, immediately smeared honey on her lips, and started to move around regardless of the maids in the room.
Wang Xifeng pushed the person away in a funny way, got up and straightened her clothes and hair, and ordered Ping'er to take the things from the Zhao family, and said as she walked out, "Forgive me for not being able to accompany the second master, this matter has to be reported to the old man." Madame, I would be happy to let the old lady know about it. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't dare to make decisions for others. The thank you gift from the Zhao family is naturally the old lady's."
Jia Lian sneered, how could she not understand her thoughts, everyone in the Jia family had to please the old lady.
Sure enough, when Wang Xifeng told about the Zhao family, the old lady was very happy.As they get older, they like to listen to consummation stories. The Zhang and Zhao families already had a marriage contract, and now they fulfill their previous promises, abandoning the past and still being in-laws.The sisters were also happy when they heard the ending. They were delighted that a girl got a good result, but Baoyu was depressed.
Everyone knew his temper and ignored him.
Jia Mu looked at the Zhao family's thank you gifts one by one, and praised: "Feng'er has done a good job. You keep all the Zhao family's things, and I will reward you." Said: "You are very good. Although you have a good heart, you know the rules. Let Lian'er take care of these things. It's not like some housewives who stretch their hands too far and do things in the name of men. It's really disgusting!"
The words were plain and plain, but they made Wang Xifeng break out in a cold sweat, as if Mother Jia was beating her.
so close!If it wasn't for a moment when he felt troublesome and went to Jia Lian directly, I'm afraid that his good intentions would not get good results.
Xichun is a careful person, so he made a special trip to inform Lin Qingyun and Daiyu of the outcome of the matter in the name of giving things.Both of them breathed a sigh of relief when they found out, and were sincerely happy for Brother Zhang Jin and Mr. Zhao.Lin Qingjun thought, judging from the results of the two people's death in the original book, even if it is not a love that will never change until death, it is a very loyal relationship, and they will live happily ever after they get married.
Lin Ruhai has been at home for more than a month, and the emperor has never summoned him, and there are many discussions from the outside world.You know, Lin Ruhai used to be a senior member of the inspector censor, even if he didn't want the Emperor's heart, he should have a chance to meet the Holy Majesty after returning to Beijing, but Lin Ruhai didn't.Just when everyone felt that Lin Ruhai's official career was hopeless, an imperial decree was passed to the Lin family.
——Lin Ruhai was promoted to the Minister of the Household Department, and concurrently led the Prince Taifu.
Both the Shangshu of the Household Department and the Taifu of the Prince belong to the first grade, the Shangshu is a real job, and the Taifu of the Prince is a title, which is an honor. There was no crown prince registered in the dynasty.From this imperial decree alone, it can be seen that Lin Ruhai is deeply in love with Long En, Jane is in the emperor's heart, and all parties are moved by the wind, and the Lin family is instantly crowded.
Just at this time, the court issued another imperial decree, but it was sent to Yangzhou, dismissing all officials including Fang Zhou, the magistrate of Yangzhou, and escorting them back to Beijing. In addition, Zheng and Chen, two major salt merchants, ransacked their homes and sent them to prison. I don't know how many.Only then did the people in the court come to realize that it was Lin Ruhai and the emperor who had jointly performed a scene before, just waiting for this opportunity to clean up Yangzhou's officialdom at once. The princes lost a lot of manpower, but Because the Emperor's Thunder method not only did not have time to feel distressed, but also stopped all movements and did not dare to act recklessly.
The Jia family didn't know about the affairs of the court, but only knew that the Lin family hadn't collapsed, but had become more glorious, so they immediately came to congratulate with gifts.
Although Jia Amnesty is nominally the head of the Rongguo Mansion, he is greedy for flowers and lust all day long and ignores foreign affairs. He knows that Lin Ruhai's promotion will be beneficial to his family, but he doesn't come out on his own.Jia Zheng prided himself on being a scholar and admired Lin Ruhai's talent and learning, but he was already a first-rank official, and he had been a fifth-rank official for more than ten years.The last people who came to congratulate him were Jia Lian and his wife. They were the best at making money, and they wished to take advantage of such a good thing.
Jia Lian was led into the outer study, while Wang Xifeng went to the inner house.
When Jia Lian saw Lin Ruhai, he bowed deeply and said, "My nephew congratulates Uncle Lin, and congratulates Uncle Lin on his career advancement."
"sit."
Lin Ruhai already knew about the affairs of the Jia family, but because he was busy with official business in Yangzhou, now that he is in the capital, it is inevitable to interact with the Jia family.As a big man, he really can't care about the women in Jia's house. Although Qingyun and Daiyu are smart, he doesn't want his two daughters to work too hard, so he focuses on Jia Lian and his wife.The two families of the Jia family seem to be peaceful, but in fact they are full of conflicts. It only takes a slight push, and the illusion of peace will surely collapse.He didn't mean to plot against the Jia family, but he hated others plotting against his daughter.
Jia Lian felt that there was something wrong with Lin Ruhai's eyes, and he didn't understand why.
"How old is Lian'er this year?"
"Ah?" Jia Lian was taken aback, and hurriedly replied, "My nephew is 25 this year."
"You're not young, have you ever thought about finding a job?" Lin Ruhai said casually.
Jia Lian smiled: "My nephew donated a colleague, but it's just good-looking."
Lin Ruhai glanced at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "You also know that it's just good-looking. You are a son of the Duke's Mansion, busy with general affairs all day long. I was in a daze when I heard people outside say that your husband and wife are an external housekeeper and an internal housekeeper. Is it a good word?"
Jia Lian's complexion changed, he was angry, angry and embarrassed, and sighed after a while: "I'm not afraid of my uncle's jokes, it's because my nephew is incompetent."
"If you really have the heart, I can find a real job for you."
"Thank you, Uncle Lin!" Jia Lian was overjoyed and thanked him very quickly.
At this time Uncle Fu suddenly reported outside: "Master, the dealer is here."
Lin Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "Who is here? Please come in!"
Seeing that he had a guest, Jia Lian wanted to ask what kind of official he could find for him, but he was afraid that Lin Ruhai would be dissatisfied with his eagerness, so he found an excuse and withdrew.
Lin Ruhai wasn't in the mood to talk to him right now, so he said, "You go back first, and I'll let you know when I have any news."
Jia Lian came out of the study and met a young gentleman head-on.This young man is fourteen or fifteen years old, with handsome features and star-like eyes. He is dressed in a sapphire blue robe, making him tall and straight, and his steps are calm and powerful. He was a few years older than him, but when he met the other's eyes, he inexplicably looked away and did not dare to look at each other, and his momentum was a little weaker.
Jia Lian wondered, who is this person?
Just now when I heard my subordinates mention the "banker", is there such a banker in the capital?
At this time, the young master had already entered the study, and faintly heard his voice: "Mingjing pays respects to Master Lin."
On the other side, Wang Xifeng had the same doubts. Jia Lian sent someone to call her back to the residence, and just happened to meet two neat-looking women who came to greet Daiyu.Wang Xifeng asked casually, but he didn't care when he heard that he was from the dealer.She insists that she knows the officials of various aristocratic families in Beijing clearly, and she has never heard of any dealers, so I am afraid that she is not a big family, so it is not worth mentioning.What's more, I can't tell the difference from the clothes of the two women, they are not as rich and noble as the second-class servants of Jia's family.
At this time, Lin Qingyun was also full of doubts. He was desperately thinking about which banker, and finally remembered that there was such a "banker" on the Lin family's etiquette list. His contacts with the Lin family have always been mediocre, and the etiquette is also ordinary. There is nothing special about it. .
However, the two women seemed to know the Lin family very well, and greeted Lin Qingjun and Daiyu in turn. They were well-behaved and generous, similar to the servants of the Lin family.
"I haven't seen you for many years. The girl is so old. When I came here, the old lady and the ladies have been thinking about the girl. This is a separate gift prepared by our old lady, the wife and the girls for the two girls. Girl, don't be disgusted."
"Don't dare, thank you old ladies and ladies for thinking about it." Daiyu still knows about her family affairs. Although she has never met anyone from the dealer for many years, she often heard it from her father when she was young.After asking some questions about the family members, the two women answered one by one. Daiyu had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Is your family going to Beijing?"
One of them said with a smile: "When Wei Dao was at home, the old lady kept saying that Miss Lin was smart, and it was true. Our Elder Master has already obtained the order to go to Beijing to report on his duties at the end of the year. Our Elder Master will first go to Beijing to manage the house, and visit different generations to make old friends."
"This is a happy event." The foreign official's permission to come to Beijing to report on his work probably means promotion. For the banker, this opportunity has been waiting for many years.
On the day of the funeral, Wang Xifeng took Baoyu and Qin Zhong to live in the mantou nunnery.
The two Baoyus who were inquiring had already rested, and everything was in order, and Wang Xifeng took a rest in the clean room specially cleaned up under the service of the aunt Jingxu in the temple.Seeing Jingxu, Wang Xifeng remembered something that he had forgotten, and he was very tired at the moment, so he didn't think much, let the little girl beat her legs, and she was about to fall asleep with her eyes closed.

Jia Lian sent someone to call her back to the residence, and just happened to meet two neat-looking women who came to greet Daiyu.Wang Xifeng asked casually, but he didn't care when he heard that he was from the dealer.She insists that she knows the officials of various aristocratic families in Beijing clearly, and she has never heard of any dealers, so I am afraid that she is not a big family, so it is not worth mentioning.What's more, I can't tell the difference from the clothes of the two women, they are not as rich and noble as the second-class servants of Jia's family.
At this time, Lin Qingyun was also full of doubts. He was desperately thinking about which banker, and finally remembered that there was such a "banker" on the Lin family's etiquette list. His contacts with the Lin family have always been mediocre, and the etiquette is also ordinary. There is nothing special about it. .
However, the two women seemed to know the Lin family very well, and greeted Lin Qingjun and Daiyu in turn. They were well-behaved and generous, similar to the servants of the Lin family.
"I haven't seen you for many years. The girl is so old. When I came here, the old lady and the ladies have been thinking about the girl. This is a separate gift prepared by our old lady, the wife and the girls for the two girls. Girl, don't be disgusted."
"Don't dare, thank you old ladies and ladies for thinking about it." Daiyu still knows about her family affairs. Although she has never met anyone from the dealer for many years, she often heard it from her father when she was young.After asking some questions about the family members, the two women answered one by one. Daiyu had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Is your family going to Beijing?"
One of them said with a smile: "When Wei Dao was at home, the old lady kept saying that Miss Lin was smart, and it was true. Our Elder Master has already obtained the order to go to Beijing to report on his duties at the end of the year. Our Elder Master will first go to Beijing to manage the house, and visit different generations to make old friends."
"This is a happy event." The foreign official's permission to come to Beijing to report on his work probably means promotion. For the banker, this opportunity has been waiting for many years.
