Red Mansions: No Tears

?As an old man who has been pampered for many years and can't bear the slightest fright now, Jia's mother, who was so angry that she passed out that day, still had to lie down, bed, adjust, and rest for a while before her complexion improved.

It's just... Originally, this was supposed to be a great opportunity to coax Lin Daiyu into Rongguo Duke's mansion, but Mother Jia ignored it? !He also told Wang Xifeng, who came to the Lin family to help, not to let Lin Daiyu go to Rongguo Gongfu to greet her, saying that she was afraid that if she got sick, it would be bad if Lin Yu's wedding was disturbed.

Mother Jia is so kind? ?Brother and sister Lin Yu and Lin Daiyu were highly suspicious of Jia's mother's attitude.

Sure enough, within a few days of Wang Xifeng's arrival at Lin's house to help, Lin Yu specially borrowed from the palace a few women and servants who were only responsible for closely monitoring the Jia family, and found something unusual. The women who came with Wang Xifeng would always Consciously or unintentionally, they ran to some sparsely populated places of the Lin family, and some people always liked to drag the servants of the Lin family to gossip about the family affairs, and they would run to the topic of how many shops and farms the Lin family still has outside now with just a few words...

Wang Xifeng herself didn't ask a single word about the Lin family's private property, but it didn't stop the Lin family brothers and sisters from guarding against her.

"I thought the Jia family had given up on the Lin family's property long ago, and they no longer cared about our family's little money. After a long time, they still believed that we had a lot of property in our hands? And because they always asked no Do you want to get information out of those servants because you have a clue? Then my hard work in the past few years has not been in vain?!" Lin Yu asked with a puzzled expression while rubbing his chin.

"It is indeed for nothing. Mrs. Shi is not stupid. Even if you really have no money in your hands, don't forget that there is still this big house. Based on the housing prices in the capital, it is worth it anyway." A few thousand taels of silver, and now Rongguo's mansion can't make ends meet, even if it's just a tael of silver, it's probably very precious to them." Jiang Zhuan chuckled.

"Huh! She dares to ask for it? Does she think that if she wants it, we have to give it? This house is the property accumulated by several generations of the Lin family. If my sister and I really dare to hand it over to others, we don't have to see it tomorrow. Father." Lin Yu replied with a look of disdain.

"Anyway, no matter whether she dares or not, the current capital city is no longer the time when four princes and eight princes could cover the sky with one hand. Not to mention that their momentum is not as good as before, even the emperor... I'm afraid he is ready to deal with them." Jiang Ke chuckled lightly. One sound, as if casually said.

"The emperor decided to clean up the four princes and eight princes?! Was it too sudden?" Lin Yu knew that the four princes and eight princes would fall, but he didn't know when it would fall. He was still a little surprised when he heard the news suddenly. He also knew that Jiang Ke seemed to be He has contacts with which prince, but he never asked who it was, and the usual Jiang Ke would not take the initiative to talk to him about the wind direction in the court.

"The emperor has always planned that. If he hadn't cared too much about the emperor's thoughts in the early years, and the power of those people had not weakened at that time, the emperor would not have dared to act rashly. Although he knew that he only wanted to let them go and not reuse any of them. With the current manners of those families and only one left, Wang Ziteng, who is still somewhat capable, it will be a matter of time before his decline. It is a pity that the Zhen family is too greedy, so greedy that the emperor doesn't want to tolerate it anymore. Too late to regret." Jiang Ke explained to Lin Yu again carefully.

Jiang Ke didn't tell Lin Yu about major affairs in the court before, naturally because he didn't want Lin Yu to be distracted from thinking about what's there. Anyway, his Lin family ancestors have always been loyal to the emperor, and whoever is in that position is loyal to whomever, there is no need Considering standing in line or something, the emperor so readily canonized the concubine daughters of Lord Zhongsu and gave them marriages, partly because Lord Zhongsu has always been self-effacing and neutral, and also because of the face of the ancestors of the Lin family and Lin Ruhai, not to mention No one in the Lin family is an official in court, except for his future sister-in-law who has been an official for several years, who can tell Lin Yu this?Of course, in the future, Zhao Hui, who will be his brother-in-law, will lead him in hand in hand, but how to say, this is the most suitable time to show his affection. As a younger sister who is about to marry someone else, he still has to show his future brother-in-law goodwill.

But Jiang Ke is also worried that the Jia family will come up with some way to drag the Lin family into the water. After all, the blood relationship between Lin Daiyu, Jia Mu and Jia She's brothers cannot be broken, even if they are close to no contact with each other now, even if the Jia family Regardless of whether he will be cleaned up by the emperor or not, he is already on the road to death. In the eyes of others, the fact that Jia's family is Lin Daiyu's uncle's family cannot be changed, let alone according to what he has learned, the Jia family's In fact, the old lady never gave up on the Lin family, a good in-law who had a good chance of making them turn around.

And although according to the current situation, when the Jia family is liquidated in the future, the Lin family will not be involved, but there is no guarantee that Lin Yu or Lin Daiyu will not be soft-hearted for a while, and at that time they will be eager to plead for the Jia family. Lin Yu will leave a bad impression in front of the emperor because of a seemingly friendly act.

"So... the emperor is going to attack the Zhen family first? No wonder the first few days I went to the household department, I always felt that the atmosphere inside was a bit weird, which made me worry every day, because I was afraid that someone who didn't pay attention Yes, but... At that time, it seemed that someone had indeed heard rumors that the emperor still loved the concubine Xiande the most, and that if she hadn't seen that there were no promising children in her natal family, she would lose face in the palace. How can I let the Ministry of Officials arrange such a good job for me." Lin Yu said apparently.

The head of the household department is in charge of affairs such as the national territory, land taxes, and salaries. To put it bluntly, as long as the affairs related to money revenue and expenditure are within the jurisdiction of the household department, the organization of the household department is subdivided according to the national territory. For several major regions, such as: Jiangnan, Jiangxi, Shandong, Fujian, Sichuan, Guangxi, etc., each region has a clean-up department. In addition to managing its own financial income, it is also in charge of a certain national affairs. It is in charge of the Jiangnan salt affairs and the salaries and extra benefits of civil and military officials from all over the country.

Can such a job be said to be bad?In fact, as long as it is a position in the household department, it is considered fat, but those who are related to officials are even fatter. Think about it, if those officials want the things they get to be of better quality, don't they need to give some small favors?Although there are many principals in each official cleansing department, there will be no more than 12 people at most. No matter how you divide them, you are not afraid of lack of oil and water. At that time, it was hard to see a vacancy in the official cleansing department in Shandong, although it was only a little worse than the direct management of Beijing officials in Shaanxi. ~ A little bit, but still many people are jealous of that position, but unfortunately, no one would have expected to be cut off by a fledgling young man! !

Dare to say that you have the ability to think about what you want, who has no background, those people thought about getting Lin Yu away at the beginning, but Lin Yu has the Zhongsu Palace and the Zhenguo Palace as backers, and the emperor himself He said that he would be given an official position, so that no one dared to touch Lin Yu, but he couldn't be moved, which didn't mean he couldn't be allowed to do it himself!At such a time, it would be a strange thing if no one narrow-mindedly figured out what is right and what is wrong, so some people thought: Scholars, there are always some inexplicable, ambiguous, self-conceited tempers, coupled with the Lin family and the Rong family. It is well known that the Duke's Mansion is not in harmony. If Lin Yu thinks that he can get this good job because of the virtuous concubine, maybe he will resign because he doesn't want to be honored by the Duke's Mansion. official.

It's a pity... because the appointment came first and the marriage was given later, those people were slapped severely by the emperor's marriage decree.

Fortunately, although Lin Yu is an otaku, he is not such an ignorant child who has never seen the world. He knew that he entered the household department at a young age, and he heard that it was an excellent job, so he knew it would take a long time. It was a difficult time for a while, and he didn't take those nonsense very much to heart, nor was he so foolish as to really think that his lack was given by others for the sake of the Duke of Rongguo or the Concubine Xiande, because he knew that his future wife would be a loyal wife. The third girl in Su Wang's mansion... Oh!Now he should be called the county lord, although he was also taken aback by the marriage decree at the time...why does it look a bit like a married woman? !But I didn't suffer a loss. It's a good thing that the emperor is willing to give them marriages, right?Right? !

"Do you believe this kind of stupid talk? Those who spread such rumors probably don't have much brains, otherwise how could they not know that since you came to Lin's house, you have entered the gate of Rongguo Duke's mansion very few times? How could you not know Are the Linjia families so close to tearing their faces apart?" Jiang Ke shook his head amusedly, and asked back.

"Of course I don't believe it. I wish I could stay as far away from the Jia family as possible. Unfortunately, you also know my sister and their family... Sigh~~ I'm just worried that if the emperor really touches the Jia family, will my sister be teary-eyed?" She regretted her estrangement from her uncle's family these past few years, and then begged us to speak for Jia's family." Lin Yu sighed helplessly.

Lin Yu didn't know the worries in Jiang Ke's heart. He just thought that he had seen many people do a stupid thing in his previous life. He obviously hated someone to death, but he liked to soften his heart when the other person had his last breath. To express my tolerance, so I kindly helped the other party or saved the other party's life... Then, there is about an [-]% chance that I will help a group of white-eyed wolves. One day, when he stood up, he 'accidentally' pushed you off the cliff, what is this?Since everyone hates each other so much, why can't they stick to it?You are still struggling to help or not to help. Anyway, the whole world knows that the two of you have become enemies long ago, so why bother?No matter how good the reputation is, it is nothing. In fact, sometimes it is not that important, right?

The two big men were worried about whether Lin Daiyu would be sad because of the downfall of the Jia family in the future. They were worried and thought about how they should refuse if Lin Daiyu really asked them to intercede for the Jia family. Dare to ignore how Mother Jia sent people to invite her over and over again. Thinking about it, she didn't have much respect for this grandmother, especially since she knew that the other party didn't love her as a granddaughter at all, but just kept digging holes for her. Jump….

After a brief episode, not long after, the former grand occasion finally reappeared in front of the Lin Mansion. On the day Zhongsu Wangfu sent the dowry of the Huaining County Lord to the Lin family, half of the people in the capital witnessed the fact that the Huaining County Lord She is the most favored girl in Zhongsu Palace, right? !Look at the dowry that stretches for nearly half of the street. There is someone with a good memory on the side of the road. At this time, he is secretly saying to the people beside him: "The dowry of the princess of the county is really rich~ I look at it better than the previous year. Wenhejun The Lord was only a little short of getting married, but for these things alone, the Lin family has already made a lot of money. '

Coincidentally, the person who said this sentence was the person sent by Mrs. Wang to inquire about the news, so the news that the Lin family was about to turn Xianyu over quickly spread back to the Jia family, making Jia who hadn't planned to attend Lin Yu's wedding day. The mother and the others immediately changed their minds, and Jia's mother immediately decided to let all the female relatives go to the Lin family to show their faces on that day, to show that they are still close in-laws with the Lin family. ?
