The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

Since Chen Gui entered the palace, he didn't know what he discussed with the saint, so he won't reveal it for the time being.

It is only said that at the court meeting on the [-]th, because the cabinet scholar Mr. Cao retired and returned to his hometown, the cabinet was vacant, and the sage ordered the ministers of the court to recommend a talented and talented person to succeed the position of the university scholar.In the end, after being recommended by the Ministry of Officials, Lin Ruhai, the censor of Yanyan, was promoted to be a cabinet scholar because of his excellent talents and excellent performance in successive years of assessment, and he will go to Beijing to take up his post today.

Now that Lin has been promoted to Beijing, the vacancies in the Jiangnan salt department have been vacated again.The various forces in the DPRK and China knew that the sage intended to reform the tenure of the Xunyan Yushi, and knew that this was a good time to intervene in the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River.Nature does not give in.

In the end, the sage listened to the opinions of the important ministers in the court, and hand-picked Sun Wenzhao from Yushitai to succeed him as Yushi Xunyan.

This Sun Wenzhao was a Jinshi in Yongjia for 32 years.Ben was a disciple of Zhang Huaiyu, the chief assistant of the cabinet.On the surface, someone from the lineage of the Supreme Emperor, but now loyal to His Majesty, is actually very close to the lineage of the Third Prince.One of his uncle's sisters is now the third prince's concubine.

Now the sage has appointed Sun Wenzhao to be the censor of salt inspection. In the eyes of those who don't know what to do, it means that although the sage succeeds to the throne, he has no intention of competing with the emperor.But in the eyes of insiders, I'm afraid they have to figure it out separately.At least in the eyes of the sage and Chen Gui, the Third Prince would definitely be able to laugh out loud upon hearing this decree.

Just because you're smiling now doesn't mean you'll be smiling in the future.After all, the one who laughs last is the winner.

But this is something for later, so I won't show it for the time being.

Now it is only said that Lin Ruhai obtained the will in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is known that Chen Gui begged for mercy in front of the saint.There is nothing wrong with being overjoyed.He has spent all these years in salt lessons, so he naturally knows that the water here is very deep.Let's not talk about the other side, just talk about the deficit accumulated over the years, if the court seriously pursues it, it will be enough for people to drink a pot.

Lin Ruhai was quick-witted and talented. Since he sensed that the sage wanted to find out the government, he knew that the sage would never let the salt lesson go.Therefore, he was eager to withdraw, and he was ready for the handover before Sun Wenzhao took office.Even the ancestral house and all the servants of the clan were arranged, and they were ordered to go to Beijing to tidy up the house first. After Sun Wenzhao arrived in office, everything was handed over, and he immediately rushed to the capital with his family.

It was already mid-August when Lin Ruhai and his family arrived in Kyoto after a tiring journey.There are two more days until August [-]th.Because Lin Ruhai went to Beijing this time to serve as a cabinet scholar, old friends of the Lin family and Lin Ruhai's classmates and colleagues held banquets to cleanse Lin Ruhai.Among them, the Jia family was the most important. Just when the Lin family's boat had just docked, Jia's mother sent Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu to pick it up in person with their servants and their luggage.

According to Jia's mother, she was afraid that Lin Ruhai hadn't been to Beijing for many years, and the Lin family's ancestral house had been unoccupied for many years, so it was inevitable that it would be deserted.You might as well stay in Rongguo Mansion for a few days first, and it won't be too late to move back after the Lin family has cleaned up.

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but thank the Rongguo Mansion for its kindness.However, he had already ordered the old servant of the Lin family to come to Beijing early to tidy up the house, so of course he declined the Rongguo Mansion's kindness at this moment, and the old butler of the Lin family heard the news of the master's arrival in Beijing, so he naturally brought someone to pick him up.Jia Lian saw that the Lin family had thought properly, so it was hard to say much.

For Lin Ruhai's thought and his agreement with Jia's mother, he had to observe Baoyu carefully and take another examination of his knowledge.Baoyu used to hate reading and used to hang out in the inner circle. Now she is twelve or thirteen years old, but she never goes to school seriously one day.How could the little ink in his stomach be able to withstand the examination of Lin Ruhai, a master of flowers.Unable to last three or five sentences, Baoyu revealed the clues of recklessness in her belly.

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai felt a little displeased.Although he has been ups and downs in the officialdom for a long time, there is naturally a city mansion.Although he doesn't like Baoyu, he doesn't show it on his face.At most, he stopped examining Baoyu's knowledge, and instead asked Jia Lian how well Jia's mother was, how well his elder brother and second inner brother were doing.

Jia Lian also has a temper that doesn't like reading.But he has been helping the housekeeper of the second room all these years, so he can handle these outfield matters.The two talked back and forth, and then they arrived at Shili Pavilion outside Chang'an City.

Long ago, Lin Ruhai's family friends and colleagues made wine in Shili Pavilion to welcome Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai's kindness was hard to give up, so he had to say goodbye to Jia Lian, because he also mentioned that after the settlement was settled, he went to Rongguo Mansion to greet Jia Mu.Jia Lian had no choice but to smile.Jia Baoyu couldn't wait to leave.

The two parties parted ways, Lin Ruhai drank a few glasses of thin wine with his colleagues in Shili Pavilion, and then they all went to the big restaurant in Chang'an City.This welcome banquet was not enjoyed until the evening.

Early the next morning, after Lin Ruhai cleaned up, he first went to the Ministry of Officials to continue his post. After learning that three days later, he would immediately reply in person.

After arriving at home, he prepared a generous gift to visit Chen's house and thank him in person.Although Chen Gui and Lin Ruhai had been friends for a long time, it was the first time they met.After seeing each other, Lin Ruhai seldom talked about Chen Gui's good words for him in front of the saint. He was very grateful to Chen Gui for his generous help, and there were many praises in his words.

In the imperial court, Chen Gui was a long-sleeved and good at dancing, and a figure with exquisite features.Now that they intend to make friends with Lin Ruhai, the two of them naturally talked very well.So that before he knew it, it was lunch time, and Chen Gui invited Lin Ruhai to have a meal together.And after drinking tea for a while, Lin Ruhai said goodbye with a lot of meaning.

After leaving the Chen family, Lin Ruhai ordered someone to prepare a gift to visit Rongguo Mansion.

Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion knew that Uncle Lin returned to Beijing this time to succeed him as a cabinet scholar.Seeing that the Lin family is so powerful, it is natural to flatter them.As for how to warmly entertain, it is just a small matter of family banquets, so there is no need to say more.

Now that he has arrived at Rongguo Mansion, Lin Ruhai has to see his daughter.Of course, Mother Jia would not stop Lin Ruhai from talking to Daiyu about their father-daughter relationship.And ordered the mandarin ducks to lead Lin Ruhai to Lin Daiyu's boudoir.

Having not seen each other for many years, the father and daughter naturally want to have a good talk about their goodbyes before breaking up.However, before he could say a few words, Baoyu rushed in without hesitation, holding Daiyu's hand to play Jiulianhuan.He also started flirting with the maid in Daiyu's room.

Lin Ruhai never thought that at Baoyu's age, he would trespass his daughter into the boudoir as if entering a no-man's land.And the maid standing at the door didn't know how to stop her.Lin Ruhai's face turned pale immediately because of the strictness of ethics and ethics.

It's just that Lin Ruhai is not easy to get angry because of his first visit.He had to look at Baoyu coldly.

Baoyu's heart skipped a beat when he was watched, and he looked at Daiyu in a state of bewilderment.

Daiyu and Baoyu grew up together when they were young, they walked together and sat together during the day, and they breathed and walked together at night.Seeing him looking at her pitifully, Daiyu couldn't help but smile, scraped her face with her slender hands, and then talked and laughed with Lin Ruhai and turned around for Baoyu.

Lin Ruhai watched her daughter's intimate behavior with Baoyu coldly, and immediately lost the mood to chat with her daughter.It just so happened that Mother Jia sent someone to invite Lin Ruhai, Daiyu and Baoyu to have dinner.Then these things were also diverted.However, Lin Ruhai looked at the words and deeds of the maids in Jiamu's room when they talked to her daughter, and realized that her daughter's treatment in Rongguo Mansion was not as good as she imagined.

After going home in the evening, Lin Ruhai could no longer bear the suspicion and anger in his heart, and ordered Lin Daiyu's close maid, Xueyan's old lady, to bring Xueyan back from Rongguo Mansion on the grounds that she missed her daughter.

Lin Ruhai then asked Xueyan about Lin Daiyu's old affairs in the Rong Mansion one by one, and when she heard that Daiyu had entered the capital wearing a mourning filial piety, but the whole Rong Mansion was wearing gold and silver, chatting and laughing freely, Lin Ruhai was very angry.He married Jia Min when they were teenagers. Although the relationship between husband and wife is shallow, they have always raised eyebrows and never blushed.Now that Lin Ruhai is satisfied with hearing that Jia Min's filial piety is so neglected by the Rong family.

Later, I learned from Xueyan that Baoyu was throwing jade, Mrs. Wang was dissatisfied with Daiyu, on the first day she entered the mansion, she said something about beating Daiyu, and Mrs. Wang brought Aunt Xue, mother and daughter into Beijing, In order to bring about a golden and jade marriage, the servants of the Rong Mansion praised Baochai a lot and despised Daiyu, each and every incident was shocking, and Lin Ruhai was furious when he heard it.She couldn't help but slapped the table and scolded: "What a big face, they dare to compare my daughter with a bitch from a merchant!"

After getting angry, Lin Ruhai couldn't help asking why Baoyu could come in and out of Daiyu's boudoir at will, and Xueyan mentioned that Lin Daiyu had just entered Beijing, Rongguo Mansion didn't arrange a house, so she ordered Lin Daiyu to live in the Bisha closet in Jiamu's room , Baoyu lives outside.Afterwards, the two got used to sitting and lying together, and no one stopped them.

Lin Ruhai only went to Beijing that day with Daiyu, but because Jia Min passed away, Daiyu had no one to raise him, and the official affairs in the south of the Yangtze River distracted him, so he had to send his daughter to Rongfu for self-protection.The reason why Daiyu was only allowed to take Wang Momo and Xueyan with her was because she was afraid that too many people from the Lin family would go there, which would displease the Rongguo Mansion.But he didn't expect to delay his daughter by being careless for a while.To tell the Rongguo Mansion to be so contemptuous of their own daughter.Because he also thought that although Jia Baoyu was the darling of Jia's mother, when it came to his status, he was only the youngest son of the second room. He had no prominent family background and was not motivated. We should be grateful to Dade for burning incense.Now he dares to make the two ends of the head and the tail, and step on two boats.She actually wanted to overwhelm her own daughter with the merchant's daughter...

The more Lin Ruhai thought about it, the angrier he became. First, he angrily scolded Xueyan King for not being loyal to her duties, and then she hated the Jia family for bullying too much.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Lin Ruhai has no intention of marrying the Jia family anymore.He has to believe that he is a dignified cabinet scholar, and he can't find a husband with all corners for his daughter.Since the second wife of the Jia family doesn't want to marry their Daiyu, there's no need to.Don't you think the merchant is good?Then marry a merchant.

Lin Ruhai was sullen.However, he has been an official for many years, and the city is deep.Although I was moved to regret the marriage, I still remembered the correspondence with Jia's mother back then.I'm afraid that if I accidentally make a confession, it will damage the reputation of my beloved daughter.

Lin Ruhai didn't want to be controlled by others, so he had to preemptively strike.Anyway, the rumors about "golden jade marriage" in the Rongguo Mansion had already been raging, and Lin Ruhai simply helped them add fuel to the flames.Within a few days, the "golden marriage" that was originally only rumored in the Rongguo Mansion spread throughout Chang'an.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lin Ruhai resigned from Jia's mother, and wanted to take her daughter back to Lin's residence to be raised.By the way, ask Jia's mother for the letters from that year.

When Jia's mother heard Lin Ruhai's behavior, she was naturally very reluctant.Lin Ruhai also said: "Here, the marriage of the girls is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Although the old lady is Baoyu's grandmother, Daiyu's grandmother, she is not their biological parents after all, so she cannot be the master of Baoyu's marriage. It depends on your preference. Since the second wife likes Miss Bao of the Xue family so much, she also said that gold must be matched with jade. The so-called gentleman does not take what others like. Although I am not a gentleman, I still have some adult beauty. .”

Seeing Lin Ruhai like this, Jia's mother wanted to explain something, but Lin Ruhai had already made up her mind, and if she continued, she might end up with an enemy instead of a marriage.Jia's mother did not dare to be too stubborn because of the prosperity of the Lin family's official career.What's more, this matter was originally ignored by the Jia family.Mother Jia had no choice but to take out the letter that promised a pair of children when she came here, and watched Lin Ruhai take Daiyu back.
