The mother of the forest in the Red Chamber wears the mother of Jia

On the Jiangnan side, Lin Ruhai could receive letters from his daughter every once in a while, and there were some instructions from his mother-in-law in the letters, many of which were written by Lin Daiyu.

Originally, Jia Min often corresponded with Jia's mother, and the letters were just ordinary greetings to Lin Ruhai, but now she often receives letters from Lin's mother.

In the letter, Lin Daiyu didn't hide her feelings. Obviously, between the lines, Lin Daiyu's handwriting was relatively brisk. It was obvious that life was going quite smoothly. The Yue family took good care of her daughter. Sometimes Lin Ruhai felt that she was No worries, you can let go of your hands and feet, be loyal and patriotic.

It didn't take long for Lin's mother to dispel such thoughts. Lin's mother did not whitewash Lin Ruhai's peace in the letter, but told Lin Ruhai everything about the Jia family. Thoughts, but they are not material for big things, and it will take time for the third generation to grow up, so Jia Lian, who is somewhat capable and knowledgeable, has to be released to let him open the way first, but Mother Lin also bluntly said that she herself Probably won't see that day.

Lin's mother said in the letter that at her age, I don't know if there will be tomorrow after today. She has been able to take good care of her granddaughter in the past few years, and even find her a suitable marriage. One is gone, but it is very difficult for the Rong Mansion to support Daiyu. If Daiyu is bullied, there will be no one in her natal family, and there will be no place to complain. Therefore, no matter what, Lin Ruhai must do well.

Lin Ruhai is not a truly selfless person. Apart from being loyal to the emperor and loving the country, he has no other distractions. On the contrary, the Lin family can be regarded as a family. For a family, the family comes first and the country comes later. If you risk your life, you should think of your credit no matter what you do in the future, and treat Lin Daiyu well.

Lin Ruhai also revealed his thoughts to Lin's mother, and was soon criticized by Lin's mother for being incomplete.Lin Ruhai doesn’t know, doesn’t Lin’s mother know? Lin Ruhai’s idea is completely based on the fact that the reigning emperor is still the current saint. The problem is that in two years, the present will directly do Zen for some reason. The Taishanghuang, although the Taishanghuang still has the word Huang, it is outdated after all. Maybe there are still many veterans who are still loyal to the Taishanghuang, but after all, the Taishanghuang doesn’t care much. Even if the new saint just shows an attitude, immediately There will be people who will understand and step down those who were originally loyal to the old saint.

The new emperor wants to say that he is capable, but he is not a broad-minded person. Instead, he is mean and ungrateful. He promotes some people who are originally tainted, such as Jia Yucun, and treats them like mad dogs. Go to attack those who are still attached to the emperor, dismantle those nobles and families after the founding of the country, and then pardon them every few years. In this way, everyone has to be grateful and feel that the saint is lenient, The inside face is complete, but outsiders can know that the saint has used various means to complete the cleansing of the court.

Lin Ruhai is a standard imperial party, he has always been loyal to the current saint, the later emperor, the new emperor once wooed Lin Ruhai when he was the prince, Lin Ruhai naturally refused, even if it was a tactful refusal, it still left a deep impression on that person. After Lin Ruhai passed away, it is simply a dream to expect the new emperor to take care of Lin Daiyu after Lin Ruhai passed away.

Mother Lin can't tell Lin Ruhai who the new emperor is and what kind of temperament he is. She just reminds Lin Ruhai that the saint is already old now. Even if she didn't say much, Lin Ruhai is not a single-minded fool. The implication is that Lin Daiyu is only a few years old now, and there are still five or six years before the marriage negotiation and engagement. Because the wrong team was liquidated, Lin Daiyu would not have any good results.

Lin Ruhai lamented that his mother-in-law was really old-fashioned, but at the same time, he also felt some worries. He had been in the south of the Yangtze River for many years. Although he often had close contacts with today's saints, he didn't know much about other princes, and he didn't know much about the current situation in the court. He hasn't really met the saint for several years, so naturally he doesn't know what the saint is doing now. Since Lin's mother reminded him like this, I'm afraid that Lin's mother should have received vague news in the capital. Lin Ruhai listened to it It's a headache.

Throughout the dynasties and dynasties, when it comes to the matter of seizing the heir, most of them will flow into rivers of blood. Back then, Prince Yizhong was unwilling to be the crown prince for decades, and rebelled against him, not to mention the civil and military officials involved in this matter, it was the prince. Also folded a few in.No matter how lenient an emperor is, if he threatens the chair under his buttocks, his relatives will not recognize him.Even the mother-in-law who lives in the inner house has heard about the situation of the saint, so I'm afraid there is something wrong.

Lin Ruhai is not very familiar with the princes below, especially if you are a prince, as long as you are interested in that position, then no matter whether it is to win over the officials or train your own confidantes, you don't need to spend money. Therefore, keep an eye on the salt tax The reason why the Zhen family has been eyeing the salt tax is that on the one hand they are used to extravagance, and on the other hand, it is because of the two princes born by Concubine Zhen.

Since Lin Ruhai became the censor, he has also dealt with the disciples of those princes. Lin Ruhai is loyal to the saints of today. If no agreement can be reached, no matter how good Lin Ruhai is, he can't have anything like those princes before. After all, it is impossible for him to really take refuge in a certain prince. If he really wants to do this, he is afraid that the current saint will be the first to spare him.

Thinking that the one who will be in charge in the future might be some prince who had some quarrel with him because of the salt tax, Lin Ruhai only felt a headache, and made sure once again that he really couldn't get involved with the matter of the salt administration anymore, he still had to Get out as soon as possible.

The reason why Lin Ruhai had the idea of ​​breaking the pot before was also because it was not easy to get out of the salt administration. The salt administration was corrupt. Lin Ruhai's life was almost like walking a tightrope. What simple things, let alone want to make some achievements?

If it was a vegetarian meal, Lin Ruhai's fate would be nothing more than being dismissed from his position and questioned, but if he really wanted to make any achievements, his future would be bleak. If he didn't have the determination to sacrifice his life for righteousness, it would be really difficult to break through the current situation.

The situation Lin Ruhai is facing now is just like that, and now he can only grit his teeth and hold on. He has nothing to do with those salt merchants who have backers behind them for a while. As we all know, as long as the Mrs. Feng Sheng of the Zhen family is still there, whoever touches the Zhen family will not only touch the ashes of the nose, but also fill in himself.

Although Mother Lin explained Bai Lin Ruhai's current predicament, there was nothing she could do about it. Mother Lin was originally from an official family, otherwise she would not be able to marry Father Lin, who had a title and official position at that time. Smart, the only thing they can get access to is the three-acre land in the back house. For example, Lin Daiyu's side is already quite knowledgeable. The world they come into contact with is too small, and they lack the concept of many things.

But Lin's mother was trapped for hundreds of years and went to many families. What she knew most was nothing more than the short stories of the parents in the back house. She also knew nothing about the articles on the Yanzheng. It's just because she has been a ghost for hundreds of years, and what she possesses is a precious mutton jade tablet. Those who can afford this are naturally not ordinary people. Therefore, you can always hear about some big things. At least she always knows about which emperor is behind him and what big things happened. Otherwise, even if she wants to remind Lin Ruhai, she can only say that Yanzheng is not a good job, son-in-law, get out of here Well, even if you resign, it's still a question of whether Lin Ruhai will listen or not!

Although Lin's mother didn't mention much in the letter, after Lin Ruhai found out that Jia Lian was a seventh-rank county magistrate, she also inquired about where Jia Lian worked, and then sorted out the situation there, and sent it to Jia's family. past.

After Mother Lin received it, she thought that no matter what, Lin Ruhai had to make this favor real. Mother Lin was not in the mood to kill a boatload of people with one blow. Lin Daiyu had been in the Jia family for many years. It also killed Lin Daiyu. Lin's mother really held grudges against the second family and her family. Of course, she also had resentment towards Dafang. At least Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were not innocent. The property of the Lin family was Jia Lian's after Lin Ruhai died After getting it here, Wang Xifeng also got confused a lot in it, but knowing this, he let the house say that Lin Daiyu used every piece of paper and the Jia family's words, which was enough for Lin's mother to dislike. up.

However, after all, Wang Xifeng did her best to Lin Daiyu, and took care of her. Therefore, after much deliberation, Lin's mother finally decided to separate the first room and the second room. Naturally, the second room wanted to take revenge completely. Yes, as for Dafang, they had benefited from the Lin family back then, and after so many years of prosperity, they should be asked to pay it back later.

However, it's not yet time, the second house has been dominant for many years, at least Jia Zheng is the only official in the Jia family now, if the big house wants to stand up, it needs to be an official, Jia Lian is the only candidate .

What's more, the Jia family still has some roots in the south of the Yangtze River. The Zhen family is still an old relative of the Jia family. Mother Lin also wants to use Jia Lian to express her attitude. If the big clans on the side want to move Lin Ruhai, they have to consider the thoughts of the Jia family. Even if they have only a little scruples, they can give Lin Ruhai more life.

Even though she thought so in her heart, Mother Lin was still thinking that it would be better to ask Jia Lian to owe Lin Ruhai more favors. Mother Lin didn't know how long she would be able to occupy her current status, at least before that, she would always leave one more note for Lin Daiyu and the Lin family. Therefore, after receiving the letter, Mother Lin called Jia Lian.
