[Red Mansion] Queen's Road

After Lin Zhuhai heard the news, he was extremely repulsed by the Seventh Prince to live in his home.

If you invite this great god to your home, you must first let him eat and drink well.The second is to be responsible for his safety.It's really a thankless job.

But as an old man in the officialdom, Lin Ruhai hurriedly and respectfully went to see the seventh prince, invited him to his home respectfully, and quickly ordered to clean up a clean yard in the front yard for the seventh prince to live in.

"Lord Lin, don't be too busy, Shang's visit this time is a private matter."

The Seventh Prince's surname is Cui Mingshang. Compared with his brothers, this name is really not nice, and the meaning is not good enough.After all, it was only because he did not have a biological mother with a good background.

After the seventh prince finished speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Lin Ruhai.

"My lord Lin, this is a letter from my father..." Before he could finish speaking, Lin Ruhai quickly knelt down and received the letter with his hands above his head.

The Seventh Prince hurriedly helped him up, "You are being polite. Father said when we came here that we are family friends, friends of several generations. Not to mention, your father used to be the companion of the emperor's grandfather, and you also You used to be the commoner friend of the emperor, and you don't have to be so formal just because of this relationship."

Lin Ruhai thought to himself, if you punish me for a serious crime of disrespect if you don't follow the rules, whoever takes your words seriously will be a fool.

After being polite, he took the letter and read it in front of the Seventh Prince.

The content of the letter is very simple. The emperor negotiated with Lin Ruhai in a friendly way: I heard that Aiqing has a daughter in your family. The way she was when she was a child.It just so happens that my seventh son has no daughter-in-law yet, and he told me that he never forgets your girl, so I wanted to write a letter to tell you about it, let's discuss the marriage, and let you see how my son is Not the wishful east bed you had in mind.

After Lin Ruhai finished reading the letter, her heart was like a small drum, beating non-stop.

"Seventh prince, I dare not hide it from you, my girl is a natural foot, I'm afraid..."

"Master Lin thought about it a lot. Shang, the tutor in Master Lin's family, is trustworthy. Shang came all the way here just to marry Miss Lin back home. So, father-in-law, please accept my son-in-law's respect."

Lin Ruhai quickly took his arm and knelt down before him, "I killed the minister."

The Seventh Prince straightened up, "In that case, please send a message to the backyard, Shang's side to pay his respects to his mother-in-law. As for the betrothal gifts and other things that will be delivered later, Shang can't wait to get rid of the betrothal gifts and come first. If you want to have a husband and wife status sooner, please ask your father-in-law not to laugh at you."

When he said something about his father-in-law, Lin Ruhai felt his whole body tremble, and after exiting the room respectfully, he quickly wiped the sweat off his head, and ran back.

The three mother and daughter are settling accounts in the upper house in the backyard? , to be precise, it was Linlin's plan, and Jia Min was coaxing her little daughter to talk.

Lin Ruhai ran in like a gust of wind from outside, which was quite different from his usual gentle and refined image.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Ruhai took a breath and sat around the table, "Just now the Seventh Prince from the capital came and brought a letter from the Emperor, saying that he wanted to marry our family Linlin."

"Why do you think this kind of thing is a bit weird?" Jia Min didn't feel happy, but felt that this matter was extremely difficult.

"Let me tell you, the seventh prince has always been the follower of the fifth prince. A few years ago, the fifth prince asked me for 30 taels of salt tax. Do you remember?"

"What Daddy means is that he wants to use my marriage with the Seventh Prince to drag you onto his boat, and he got himself a big money bag by the way."

Lin Ruhai slapped her hands, "My girl still has hills and valleys in her chest, that's all."

Jia Min turned her head and slapped Linlin angrily, "You said you were going to get married early, how could such a thing happen." Then she turned to Lin Ruhai, "What should we do, sir?"

"The emperor's personal letter is still stamped with a private seal, what do you think should be done?"

"What if they ask for silver?"

"No, unless the emperor speaks, otherwise, we won't give any more money."

Jia Min thinks this is not a good way, "It's not easy to be a pure minister since ancient times. Even if we don't give it, how long can the emperor protect us? Even if the emperor doesn't want to touch you, those princes will let the people below give you money." You monster, who messed things up, who can protect us."

Lin Ruhai just sighed, "Let's take one step at a time. He is in the front yard now. He said he is going to visit you in the backyard. You change your clothes, and don't give him any embarrassment later."

After finishing speaking, he dragged his heavy steps out.Linlin also felt that this matter had reached an impasse. She looked at her father who was walking outside, and then at her mother who was sitting on the stool in a daze, and whispered, "Mother."

"Okay, okay, you can go back too, I'll tidy up here. You take your sister away by the way, and don't come to my yard tonight."

The atmosphere in the house is not good, Lin Daiyu felt it.He followed his sister out obediently, looking back at his mother as he walked, looking very pitiful.If Linlin usually wanted to tease her, but at this time her heart was in a panic. She used to think that she could control her own destiny, but at this moment she felt that fighting against the real society is really a shame. Can't pay any price.

Lin Ruhai didn't come back for most of the day, and Jia Min waited very anxiously at the back, so he sent someone quietly to the second gate to inquire, but he didn't find out any news.When it was almost time for dinner, I saw Lin Ruhai bringing a young man to the backyard.

Compared with the decadent attitude when he went out, at this moment Lin Ruhai didn't seem to have any pressure. With a smile, he led the young man slowly to the main room in the backyard.

Jia Min quickly stood up and greeted him at the door. After standing still, he looked up and down at the young man.

I feel that apart from sword eyebrows and star eyes, this young man also has slightly raised lips, giving the whole impression that this young man is very easy to get along with with a smile on his face.The most commendable thing is that this person has an air of elegance all over his body. When looking at people, his eyes are straight ahead, without any obscene gestures.

"This must be the mother-in-law, please be respected by the son-in-law."

Lin Hao, who was following behind, hurried forward to return the gift for his mother.The four entered the main hall affectionately.

The content of the conversation was only when the Seventh Prince would open the mansion outside the palace and where the palace would be located. Now that the marriage was agreed, they had to start preparing the dowry. What Jia Min meant was that after the address of the palace was confirmed, they Here it is better to start making furniture according to the house.

In any case, the impression of both aspects of this meeting is very good.The Seventh Prince came in a hurry and left contentedly.

Jia Min felt as if she had let go of her heart, but when she thought of her husband's future errands, she raised her let-down heart again. "Why don't we tell the Seventh Prince to quit this job and be an official anywhere."

"Ma'am, the reason why they married our girl was because of the chair under my ass. If we leave here, look at how they treat our daughter."

"What should I do?"

"Don't worry, there is a way for your husband, you just need to appease our girl."

"What can you do, we are weak, how can we fight against their brothers?"

Lin Ruhai didn't speak after hearing this, but stared at Jia Min for a while.

"Just now the Seventh Prince told me something. You have sent more than 30 taels of silver to Rongguo Mansion in the past few years, right? Where did you get this money from?"

When Jia Min heard it, her eyes turned red immediately, "Where did it come from? I sold off my dowry and moved some from Linlin's. It's not because I'm subsidizing my mother's family, it's because the old lady is getting old." , personally asked me for this money, I..."

Lin Ruhai raised his hand and shook, "Do you know where the money is? The money is in the hands of the Fifth Prince."

Jia Min suddenly felt a thunderbolt from the blue sky, "Did the emperor think that we fell for the fifth prince early? Now that our daughter has fallen into this marriage again, is it impossible to get rid of the matter of standing in line?"

Lin Ruhai didn't speak, and just said to Jia Min slowly after a while, "This matter has been overturned, and if you have anything to do in the future, you must discuss it with me. Your dowry is all discounted and you usually sell it. How did you get over it. I asked you where the jewelry went. I thought you used to love to dress up. Why would you think that the child will stop dressing up when he grows up? If I ask a few more questions, I won’t There is something for today."

"It's all my fault. It's all my fault that I shouldn't have kept it from the master."

"The whole family shares weal and woe. Let's talk about the future. Let's not talk about the past. It happens to be a dowry for the girl. Although there is something left by the old lady back then, we parents can't take it all away. You tomorrow Call the goldsmiths and silversmiths in Yangzhou City to make some jewelry for you mother and daughter. As for the fabrics, because it is in the south of the Yangtze River, you can choose more. In addition to preparing the dowry for our girls, you also choose more. By your side, whenever you want to cut new clothes, let the sewing woman do it for you directly."

Jia Min said these few words with tears in his eyes, "It's all my fault, the master is still so kind to me, I feel ashamed."

Lin Ruhai patted her on the shoulder, "We've been together for so many years, why are you still talking about this. Let's turn this matter over first, don't talk about what you have and what you don't have in front of your daughter, just persuade her to follow her up." She lives her life. The royal family she married into recently has strictly followed the rules for her, and she can no longer fool around like before."

"Master, don't worry, these are what I should do. It's just that the master doesn't say that I have already made plans. It's just an outside matter. It's hard for the master."

"Don't worry, the head of the family, isn't it just to help you establish a household?"
