[Comprehensive] Saving Tragedy

Standing at the bow of the boat, Lin Ruhai looked at Tongzhou that was getting closer, and his heart was agitated. Unknowingly, he seemed to see the past of his life.To be honest, he felt that his life could be said to be blessed by God, and his life went smoothly, and there was no one with a better life than him.

Since he was born, because he was the child that his father had been looking forward to for ten years, and he lived in the family of Spyker, a family of scholars, so he grew up like gold and jade. Although his health was not very good when he was young, he was a little sick, but Their family is not the kind of family that can't afford to hire a doctor or take medicine. Naturally, they don't have to worry about it. They are a little older and have a younger sister. Because he is the only son in the family, he has been taught by his father since Kaimeng. Such treatment , in the family of other people with similar family background, that would definitely arouse jealousy.For this reason, he is very proud. Although he has no biological brothers, and sometimes he is jealous of others, but thinking about the care and love he has received because of his only son, he immediately becomes infinitely proud.

When he was ten years old, his father even helped to find the younger brothers of the four clans to come over to study and play with him. My father helped to plan everything one by one.

Immediately, there were studies, imperial examinations, marriage, and the same major life events. Under the control of my parents and my own efforts, everything went smoothly and naturally.Except for the fact that his father was seriously ill when he was ten years old and had to stay at home for a month to recuperate, after that, there were almost no difficult things in the family.And he did not live up to his parents' expectations. He was selected as a scholar at the age of 15, became a juren at the age of 19, and became a Tanhua at the age of 20 and entered the Imperial Academy.

That is to say, in that year, I became a father, and the Lin family had a new generation of heirs. At that time, he could be said to be proud of the spring breeze, but he was not exempt from life, old age, sickness and death. At the age of 23, he was just about to be released to the public. In that year, the first shock in life came, and his parents died of illness one after another. Although they all died with smiles, because they saw their children getting married and having children, everything went well, and they saw the dawn of the prosperity of the Lin family, but for Lin Ruhai Said, still so heartbroken, the first time I felt helpless.

Five years of filial piety is a fatal blow to a newcomer who has just entered the officialdom. Fortunately, he still has the Yue family, his uncle's cousin, and the Lin family, and even more so, his brother-in-law's family. After all, he is a member of the royal family. Even if he doesn't pay attention to real power, he still has influence. So after he became a filial piety, with the help of these connections, he quickly found a sixth-rank official position and started his lifelong career. official career.

It was at that time that Lin Ruhai saw clearly the necessity of those backups his father had arranged for him.Cousins, uncles, and the others, those are the contacts that my father spent his whole life managing. There are four ranks, maybe they are not the most powerful positions in the imperial court, but they are all ingenious, from local counties, to state capitals, to the six departments of the capital, every link, you can see people from the Lin family , when everyone was not paying attention, the Lin family members had already laid a net. Perhaps in the eyes of all the families with a large number of clan members, the number of descendants of the Lin family was really small, and there were not many officials, but Lin Ruhai knew it himself. How important is this small, inconspicuous line.

Even when he was keeping his filial piety, he could use this line to clearly see the movements of the entire court, allowing him to smoothly understand the emperor's character and style of doing things, laying a solid foundation for his recovery in the future.

There is also my brother-in-law's house, which is neither far nor near, does not talk about business affairs, does not talk about government affairs, and only treats it like the in-laws of ordinary people. In the eyes of the emperor, he also became an upright person who was impartial and did not participate in royal battles. In the subsequent succession of the throne, he successfully protected himself and his brother-in-law's family, which shows how his father's foresight has changed.

When he was nearly 40 years old, Lin Ruhai finally returned to the capital again. This time, he came back as the servant of the household department and a second-rank official. Lin Ruhai will always remember what kind of mood he was on that day. A kind of excitement, a kind of emotion, a kind of passion full of pride.

His father was only a second-rank until his death, but he still had room for improvement. He silently set a goal for himself. When the new emperor takes over, the court will be stable for ten years, or even decades. Under such a favorable environment, the Lin family must be allowed to produce another first rank, so that the Lin family can once again become the top nobleman in the capital.

Surpassing his father is Lin Ruhai's lifelong pursuit. He has already surpassed his father in terms of having children. His father surpassed his grandfather. He has two children. Although they are a man and a woman, the curse of the Lin family has not changed, but they are still two children. As for him, he is already the father of three children, two sons and one daughter, and the eldest son is now a Juren, no worse than he was back then, thinking that his father is underground is quite gratifying.Now this official position will also be surpassed, how can he not be excited, how can he not be passionate.

This year, the number of the Lin family's official children has surpassed ten and reached twelve. The entire Lin family clan has become a large family of officials and nobles that can be counted in Suzhou and even the entire Jiangnan.Lin Family School has become a famous school in Suzhou.

This year the Zhen family in Jinling was ransacked, and the person in charge of the ransacking was Lin Ruhai's brother-in-law, who had been conferred the title of Marquis of Yiyang a few years ago, a member of the royal family, uncle of the new emperor, a well-known decent person in the royal family, Shuiyan is known as a hero.This time the house raid was nearly ten years earlier than the original book, Lin Ruhai didn't know, but Liu Liu knew that it was because of the appearance of Shuiyan that the Zhen family swallowed salt tax privately, and all the scandals of ignoring the court in Jiangnan happened earlier. Because the taxes in the south of the Yangtze River are basically one-third of the whole country, the Zhen family's actions are really too much, even the Supreme Emperor can't stand it, plus this bloody debt, it's a big treason, so Even with the concubine by his side, the Zhen family was still powerless in the end.Concubine Zhen also committed suicide directly.

It was also this year that the famous four major families in the capital were facing decline. The Jia family, a family of two males, was abandoned by the entire aristocratic class. The matter of seniority and disorder has happened, and Mrs. Wang is exploiting profiteeringly, and it is also known to everyone. Well, yes, it is Mrs. Wang, not Wang Xifeng. At this moment, Wang Xifeng is still a new daughter-in-law. The Jia family has only been around for two years, how could they have such courage.But she was not the strong woman who later dared to intervene in the lawsuit.As for why people would report?Who told Liu Liu, who had recently entered menopause, to meet Mrs. Wang at a banquet, and then she was disgusted, so naturally she made a move immediately.In addition, those who followed suit and those who disliked the Jia family followed and stomped on them, and the matter of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's father and son having sex together caused a storm in the city. The reputation of the Jia family was so bad that even ordinary people walked around them. Who else can come to the door there.

A family of historians with two lords is also gone. The family property has declined, and the children are dandies. It has long been quiet, and now it is even more implicated by the Jia family. Who would let the biased old lady of the Jia family be a member of the historian, so As a result, the historians have also been unlucky, and now it is somewhat difficult to maintain. The once prosperous Wang family and the only promising prince Teng are patrolling the border. The Xue family has been implicated by the Zhen family. No more sound.Before the Xue Pan who killed someone had time to do evil, his father had already died in prison, and the entire Xue family had collapsed, leaving only him, his mother, and younger sister, who became ordinary people and lived in poverty. For them who lost their lives in the original book and were widows, they don't know whether it is luck or misfortune. At any rate, they are still alive, at least they can start from scratch.

This year, Jia Min, the aunt of the Jia family, who was once a well-known talented woman in the capital, passed away. It was not because she lost her son. They had sons. Back then, Jia Min married into the Zhenguo Gongniu family, a general, and she was in good health. It won't be as miserable as marrying into the Lin family. Having sons and daughters is very fulfilling. Although the husband has several concubines, none of them can match her painting and calligraphy, but after a long time, this girl's romantic thoughts will naturally fade away. With less, life can be regarded as good, but it's not bad, but I can't help such a weak blow from my mother's family, isn't it!Angrily, he vomited blood and eventually died of illness.It can only be said that time is fate, this is Jia Min's fate. Fortunately, this time she doesn't have to bear the name of infertility. She has two children behind her. Went to the Niu family's ancestral grave.

Of course, because Niu's family is in the capital, and because Niu's family is not homeless, it is even more impossible for her daughter to go to Jia's or something. Jia Baoyu's absurd name is still very famous in the capital, and now The Jia family's reputation fell into the mud, and the Niu family almost broke up with the Jia family, so how could they keep in touch.Even after Jia Min's death, when the Jia family was not in mourning, the Niu family took the opportunity to write a book and participated in the Jia family, which by the way made a clear distinction with the Jia family.

When Lin Ruhai entered Beijing, he was faced with such a situation. The old aristocratic family began to die out, and new literati and upstarts began to appear.Looking at the chaos, it also shows infinite opportunities.

Looking at his wife and children beside him, Lin Ruhai nodded to them with a smile, took the first step, and walked towards the ancestral residence of the Lin family in the capital, the former Marquis's Mansion.That's where he was born, and he's back.
