Jia Minqi's family in the Red Chamber

Since it is a reward and promotion, it is natural to issue a clear purpose.Lin Hai knew about it a day or two earlier, and then the whole of Jiangnan also got the news.

Han Qi and his wife were very indifferent, especially Han Qi.He knew that this was the holy majesty's reward for his dedication to disaster relief these days, as well as compensation for the injustice he suffered.

Anyway, it was a surprise.Although the prefect of Hangzhou is also... a hot potato, but he can't help but take over.He would rather die in prison that day than be known as "ignorant of good and evil" by the Holy Majesty.

When Han Qi was handing over to his successor, his original boss, the prefect of Yangzhou, suddenly sent a serious post to invite him... He thought about it, and went to the banquet on time.

If it wasn't for the magistrate not being so ruthless, he might not have escaped with his life.

Of course, if he had something good or bad, the magistrate would not only lose his official position, but he would also have to experience the feeling of being "suicide in fear of crime".

These words were not said to each other, but everyone kept silent.

When I went to the appointed place, I found that only the magistrate was present in the private room: it was really necessary for the two of them to have a good chat.

In fact, in the past period of time, the magistrate of Yangzhou was also terrified: he listened to Lin Hai's persuasion and saved Han Qi's life, at least not allowing him to die in the prison of the government office.Unexpectedly, it didn't take long before he heard that Han Qi held on until... the imperial envoy came.

The imperial envoy came with a secret decree, and after seeing Han Qi, he even carried himself over to "chat"... The past was unbearable, anyway, he was a little exhausted when he returned home.

At this time, he was glad that he had listened to Lord Lin's words, otherwise, even if Han Qi died unjustly, his wife and daughter would be fine, but his family would not have much to live for - that His Royal Highness in Beijing was acting too recklessly and recklessly avoid.

If such a person one day... don't say whether it is a blessing for the people, even an official like him will be trembling, wondering if he will die well.For the first time at that time, he regretted his choice.

It's not too late to look back.He pondered Mr. Lin's words and deeds that day over and over again, and finally made up his mind to turn the bow of the ship.

It was also the uncle of a certain Highness who agreed to him at the beginning...and Mr. Lin did not talk about other ties, only his two teachers, one is now the Minister of Rites, and he will join the cabinet without waiting for his term to expire; The position is the censor of the left deputy capital.

He is a small magistrate, if Master Lin hadn't said "I owe you a favor to keep Han Qi", if he wanted to get in touch with him, he might not have been willing to talk to him.

So he invited Han Qi to talk about the past.His intention to seek refuge by the way... naturally let Han Qi see it.

Han Qi smiled wryly to himself: He hasn't even dated Mr. Lin yet!

The reason for the close relationship between the two families may not be believed by the magistrate: his daughter Miaoyu and Master Lin's Zhangzhu are friends.

At that time, he was struggling in prison, and his wife and daughter were all taken care of by the Lin family. Mrs. Lin's daughter and her cousin visited him many times, which made those who were anxious to make trouble dare not act rashly.

I heard that he was promoted to the magistrate, and the people who abandoned him have sent three waves of lobbyists one after another.He was a Jinshi at the end of Erjia, and he had been a seventh-rank county magistrate for many years, and his family gave up as soon as they said it.But as soon as he turned over, he became a magistrate who was less than forty and had a good relationship with Mr. Lin... This status, the clansman relied on a lot.

Even though the clansman was arrogant before being respectful, even though he was used to the shamelessness of officialdom, he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't eat at night.Compared with the clansmen, the former boss in front of him is quite... able to handle it.

It is said that the magistrate of Yangzhou didn't plan to meet each other, and things would be done after a meal.He felt that they were speculating on each other, so he accepted it as soon as it was good.

When Han Qi returned home, his heart was agitated. When he saw his wife who was pregnant again, he couldn't help feeling emotional, "Our family this year...why do I still feel like falling into a dream."

The Mrs. Han's family smelled the slight smell of alcohol around her husband, so she hurriedly asked the girl to twist the veil, and wiped her husband's hands and face with her own hands, "If you want me to say, the master has been promoted, there will be more such things."

Han Qi agrees very much: Even if it is only to protect his wife and daughter, he has to grit his teeth and continue to do it.

However, Han Qi's family arrived in Hangzhou before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he didn't have time to tidy up the new house, so he called on everyone in Hangzhou one by one... But before he arrived in Hangzhou, he sent several thick letters to Lin Hai's desk.

Hearing that her father said that Sister Miaoyu's family was coming, Daiyu was very happy... Now that she has no husband, if her father is at home to handle official business, her mother will let her stay with him in the study.

After Lin Hai finished speaking, he looked at his daughter with a smile.

Daiyu asked curiously, "Father, do you have anything to say?"

Lin Hai smiled, "Why do you have to tell me?"

Daiyu said solemnly: "Uncle Han has made some contributions. If he wants to be promoted, he must be the magistrate of Hangzhou?"

Originally, she knew the young lady of the prefect's family in Hangzhou, but the whole family suddenly received the order to go to Beijing, and they were a little confused.

Feeling very relieved, Lin Hai put his arms around his daughter's shoulders and said, "Children can be taught. The south of the Yangtze River is rich, it is a land of heavy taxes, and there are many merchants. In addition to being talented, the officials here are not very well-balanced."

Daiyu blurted out, "So..." The little girl stretched out her finger and pointed upwards, "If you have recruited a few officials, you can secretly train and raise soldiers."

How dare the Holy Majesty take the Jiangnan officialdom lightly, "Uncle Han suffered a great loss from a highness and almost died. Now that he has been promoted, he will definitely not work for this highness. Uncle Han's unreasonable disaster is because of that highness." , I guess he won't be willing to flatter that one." Saying that, the little girl pointed to the east again.

Lin Hai's eyes widened when he heard this, "Did your mother tell you this, or did you figure it out yourself?"

His daughter's intelligence is really beyond his imagination, more than a year ago... she was just innocent and cute.

"Mother only said that there are many factions of officials in the south of the Yangtze River." Daiyu also suppressed the smile on her face, "Father, I was just talking casually. If you make a mistake, don't be angry, teach me again." As she said, she took her father's arm The arm shook slightly.

This trick has tried a hundred times to deal with parents.

My daughter is only ten years old...

Lin Hai also became interested, "You speak very well, but these words cannot be shared with others."

Daiyu said: "I don't want to break my mouth. I don't say anything about the sisters. Some of them can figure it out by themselves."

Lin Hai is not surprised: if ladies from official families know nothing about the court, they should ask their parents how they taught their daughters.

If the words "Women in the inner house or the harem are not allowed to participate in politics" are specifically brought out to their own women or daughters, there are generally two possibilities: this woman is too stupid; this woman cannot be trusted.

Seeing that her father was waiting for her to continue speaking, Daiyu said, "Actually, I think the knowledge of the sisters here is not much different from that of the cousins ​​in Beijing, but when chatting, apart from poetry, books, needlework, jewelry and clothes, there is also From time to time, I will bring one or two sentences about who's sister's father and brother have been transferred, or their relatives are going to catch up for the exam... My daughter listened to it a few times, and sometimes I can think about it for a while when I come home. A few days ago, there was something I didn't understand. I just asked my mother, a few days ago my mother told me to ask you if I didn't understand anything... Mother doesn't allow her daughter to be blind."

Now Daiyu, like her mother, doesn't think much of her second aunt.

Lin Hai laughed loudly when he heard the words, hugged his daughter and said, "Good boy! You spoke very well."

It's a pity that it's a girl, otherwise, with a little training, my family can be improved to a higher level.

The father and daughter enjoyed themselves happily, and when Jia Min ordered the girl to prepare the meal, and then sent someone to call the father and daughter back, she suddenly retched uncontrollably.

After counting his little days, Jia Min knew it well.But to be on the safe side, she still asked the housekeeper to invite the doctor.

But Lin Haidaiyu and his daughter were packing up and going back to the inner courtyard for dinner, when the steward came to report suddenly: the wife is not feeling well, and she needs to call a doctor.

Lin Hai ran back with his daughter in his arms.When he entered the door, he saw Jia Min leaning on the couch, covering his mouth with a handkerchief.

Lin Hai has been a father several times, so he knows what's going on at a glance.In an instant, he was overjoyed, put down his daughter and walked back and forth in front of Jia Min.

It's no wonder that Lin Hai is so excited... In fact, the Lin family has been single for too long, Lin Hai is already satisfied with one son and one daughter, and he never dared to think about having a full house of children and grandchildren.

Now the son is strong and skinny, and at the age of one and a half he is alive and kicking all day long, and now his wife is pregnant again.He has never believed in ghosts and gods, and now he wants to find a temple or a Taoist temple to burn incense and fulfill his vows.

Jia Min stared at her husband for a while, and finally couldn't help but said, "Daiyu, take your father away and let him sit down quickly, it's really dizzying."

Lin Hai laughed dryly, "I'm getting carried away." After speaking, he sat down next to his wife.

Daiyu smiled and sat down beside her father.

It so happened that the son also came back from playing in the yard at this moment. Seeing the battle, he waved his chubby hands and quickly threw himself on his mother, and said softly, "What's the matter, mother?"

Jia Min rubbed his son's little head, "Mom may add a brother or sister to you."

"Sister?" The son's black eyes rolled around, and his eyes fell on his elder sister Daiyu, and he clapped his little hands, "Hello, sister!"

What a boy!It's so easy to know that I like a girl...

Jia Min twisted his son's face.

Not long after, the doctor arrived.

After listening, asking, and taking the pulse carefully, within a quarter of an hour, the doctor stood up with a smile on his face and said, "Congratulations, Mrs. Lin. Your Madam, you are very happy."

Afterwards, she said that Madam's pregnancy was extremely stable, and even though she had left a prescription for raising the baby, there was no problem at all if she didn't eat it.

After sending the doctor away, Lin Hai grinned again.He wasn't embarrassed at all in front of his children, he just held Jia Min's hand and said, "What do you want to eat?"

In fact, Jia Min was also surprised, she didn't save anyone recently, why did she have another one?It seems that I have to find a temple or a Taoist temple, and then ask my father in my dream.

So she said: "I used to have everything I wanted to eat. My lord, in two days it will be time to watch the tide. Our family will go out to relax. If it is convenient, we can also call the Han family? Daiyu and her good sisters have a relationship." The days are gone."

Daiyu said pleasantly: "Mother is the best." Then she leaned over.

Seeing his wife's son on the left and daughter on the right, the three of them blinked their big eyes together and looked at him expectantly.

Lin Hai really couldn't even say "no", so he nodded quickly, "Okay."

In fact, innocent people die every year because of watching the tide.But when the daughter-in-law spoke, Lin Hai had no choice but to obey, and he asked the steward to handle it carefully and not mention it.

However, the day for the whole family to go out has not yet arrived, and Han Qi has already visited the Lin family according to his rank.

In the study room, the two sat opposite each other. Facing the savior, Han Qi didn't hide anything, and directly stretched out a hand, "I've checked the past few days, and it's probably this one."

Fifth Prince...

Lin Hai was as expected.

Han Qi said again: "I offended the two Highnesses in a row." The fifth prince framed him, but he didn't fall to the East Palace, so he offended two in a row... But what he did caught the eyes of the Holy Majesty. It's just that the Holy Majesty couldn't watch him and protect him all the time, "I don't dare to think too much. Anyway, there are too many eyes in Hangzhou, and neither of the two Highnesses dare to act rashly."

Lin Hai also comforted, "Why am I not like you?"

Han Qi had no choice but to offend the two Highnesses, but Lin Hai took the initiative.It's good to be the prince, after all, he has some friendship with the Sun family, but the fifth prince, who is vicious and domineering and will take revenge, may not be able to bear this tone immediately.

He smiled, "It's just that I just took office, and even if I found something out, it was also my predecessor's responsibility, so he didn't move. But if he really can't hold back, I will be famous as a teacher."

No matter how small his Lin family was, they still had some family background.Besides, for the sake of his wife and daughter, he had to make an example to others, even if he faced the prince, he would not give in.He knew that the prince was not very particular about his actions.

Han Qi really felt relieved and left.

Sure enough, the next day Lin Hai's brother Zhou Shixiong who worked in the capital sent a message - this is Lin Hai's eldest son, and his father is the Minister of Rites.

Brother Zhou wrote in a letter that the fifth prince was inquiring about his daughter Daiyu, and also inquired about Yuanchun's head in the palace, as well as his mother-in-law and two eldest uncles.

In fact, when the fifth prince sent his side concubine to visit the Rong Mansion a few days ago, it was already... about to explode.It was not rude to send the concubine to the door, but the fifth prince's main wife had been gone for exactly a year.

Mrs. Wang has cursed countless "why" in her heart at this moment, and with the comfort of her companions and confidantes, she calmed down and thought for a long time before sending someone to call her sister to come and talk.

She always felt that it would be better to give her family Yuanchun such an opportunity. As for how to repay her sister and brother-in-law: why not let Baochai be the prince's side concubine?
