Lin Mansion.
After everyone left, the family of five sat together and had dinner quietly.
Eat without talking and sleep without talking.
"Bah chirp, bah chirp~" The little yellow cat was an exception, eating meat and soup in large gulps, and the food was extremely sweet.
Cat happiness is that simple.
After the meal, everyone washed their faces and rinsed their mouths under the service of the maid.
Lin Ruhai seemed to remember something and asked, "Min'er, what do you mean by the long history today?"
Jia Min dismissed it: "What's the point? Just show your goodwill. In the eyes of those who want to fight for power, everyone is a pawn.
Doing this not only allows us to see his sincerity, but also makes people today have a grudge and doubt us.
It's a pity that Xue Pan, there is no one in the Xue family. "
Lin Ruhai nodded slightly, convinced that the husband and wife were of the same mind and had seen too much in Lianghuai. They could easily see through these small tricks.
The most important thing is that they only want to do practical things for the people and the world, and are not interested in the power of Conglong. Only in this way can they see clearly as an outsider.
"The imperial edict has arrived."
Manager Chen came in with a red face, smiled and said: "Master Lin, Mrs. Lin, I have a will."
"The humble minister accepts the order."
"My wife accepts the order."
…
Jia Mansion, middle hall.
Jia Baoyu squatted under Jia Mu, acting cute and trying her best to please.
As his good brother, Xue Pan had a deep brotherly love, and he was beaten today. Although he did not dare to stop him at the time, it was necessary to visit his home.
The old lady touched Baoyu's forehead, her face full of kindness. According to the ancestors' dreams, this is the hope of the Jia family. But why did the ancestor never appear again after he had a dream?
"My dear, I have to criticize you. When I went to your uncle's house today, why were you like a little monkey, unable to make up your mind for a moment? Have you forgotten what Sister Yuanchun asked someone to bring back with a letter the day before yesterday?
If you can win your uncle's favor, it will be easy to rise to prominence. "The old lady scolded with a smile.
But Jia Baoyu smiled playfully: "Oh, old lady, you are such a fairy, how can you be like the common people outside? Let's just live in peace, wealth and honor.
Aunt Min is my biological aunt. If I ask her for something in the future, will she still refuse?
Moreover, my uncle is only at the third level, which is far from my uncle's first level. Don't be in a hurry, I will worship him again when he reaches the first level. "
Jia Mu nodded, too.
She has treated Jia Min, her daughter, very well since she was a child, and she did not even make things difficult for her son-in-law, Lin Ruhai.
As long as he is alone for a day, if necessary, he can personally come forward and ask Lin Ruhai to do something. Whether it was for the sake of benevolence, justice, filial piety, or Lin Ruhai wanted to continue to be promoted, he had to take care of his own face.
In this world, no matter whether it is an official or an emperor, if the reputation of being unfilial spreads, his life will probably come to an end.
After thinking about it, Mother Jia nodded Jia Baoyu's forehead: "Everyone is like you, you really have no worries. You only know how to joke with your sisters, eat when you are hungry, sleep when you are sleepy. In a few years, I am afraid it will still be like this, after one o'clock Don't worry about anything.
I usually don't listen to you when I tell you to read. This book has its own beauty, and this book has its own golden house. When you become successful, what kind of girl do you want? "
Jia Baoyu didn't take it seriously: "Hey, grandma, I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry. And I can live a day-to-day life with my sisters. It's over when I die. There's nothing to worry about afterward.
If I become famous like Uncle Lin, who rarely sees his children all year round, and leaves Sister Lin as pitiful and alone at home, then I won't do it! "
Thinking of Sister Lin, her granddaughter, Jia Mu sighed.
Today, she intentionally or unintentionally brought up the matter of getting the two families closer. With Jia Baoyu's appearance, character, knowledge, and family background, she was more than worthy of her granddaughter. Why did her son-in-law refuse so directly?
Isn't he a good little guy like me?
Although Baoyu has no ambition, he still likes to play with his little sisters. But this man, once he has a family, his mind will be settled and he will work hard to make progress.
After passing the imperial examination, with the power of the Jia family and the Lin family, will it be easy to get promoted and make a fortune?
Besides, although this son-in-law is said to be powerful, as Baoyu said, he is only a third-grade man so far. And Baoyu will inherit the title of first-class general in a few years.
It is also possible that with the support of the connections accumulated by generations of princes of her Jia family, this son-in-law's official position could be promoted to the same level as that of Prince Teng.
Don’t know how to praise!
"Old lady, old lady, the great news is that Uncle Lin and Third Miss have both been promoted. Uncle Lin is the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. He was promoted from the first rank, and Third Miss was given the imperial title of First Rank. The Lady of the State has even become the Jinwu Guard Qianhu.
The door of Lin Mansion was blocked by visitors! "Grandma Li rushed in and said happily.
As the wet nurse of Second Master Bao, although she had been bullied by Miss Lin when she went to the Lin family to serve him. But now she suddenly felt that it was her fate with Miss Lin.
As for scolding herself, doesn't it show that Miss Lin is straightforward, straightforward and simple?
Well done!
First grade? Jia Mu was silent.
The efforts of several generations of the Jia family for more than a hundred years seem like a joke at this moment.
Jia Baoyu fell into deep thought, then An Ran.
Not a big problem.
He is also the younger brother of the current imperial concubine and the emperor's brother-in-law, who happens to be the perfect match for Sister Lin.
Thinking of Sister Lin's astonishing talent and otherworldly appearance, the young man's heart moved. At this time, my uncle and aunt were promoted, and they could just wait for my father to come back from the next court to propose marriage.
When the time comes, double happiness will come to your door, wouldn’t it be beautiful?
…
Ningxiang Tower.
Different from the courtyards of general prostitution halls, entering the building is a garden surrounded by rockeries, lotus ponds, trees, cloisters and pavilions. The layout is not chaotic, but elegant and neat.
Most of the women in the building are involved in literature and art, are familiar with literature and history, can recite poetry, are good calligraphers, and are good at painting orchids and can play the piano.
In addition, they attach great importance to color, emphasizing natural beauty. They want a jade-colored body, jade-like skin, white female jade fat, and they also need to be slim, pretty, petite and exquisite.
On the bed, Xue Pan was a little silent after the incident, and then asked in a deep voice after a while.
"How do you calculate money?"
It was his first time to visit such a high-end place because he also had the reputation of the Prince of Beijing.
The woman smiled and saluted: "Master, one tael."
Xue Pan was very surprised: "Why are your prices so affordable?"
"It's one or two." The woman said softly, her voice soft and waxy.
Xue Pan felt relieved after hearing this. His sister had warned him that cheap things are often the most expensive. Then he thought about it carefully and figured out how he had demonstrated his power just now.
After a while, Xue Pan took out a small ingot of silver from his sleeve pocket: "Here, here you go, five taels."
The woman took the silver, weighed it for a while, smiled politely, then took out a piece of broken silver from her sleeve and handed it back.
"Mr. Xue, I gave you too much. Here are four taels for you."
Xue Pan:......
Lin Mansion.
Since the imperial edict came down, there has been a bustle.
Both Guangdong and Guangxi are Lingnan regions, and their topography, land, and customs are very different.
In the mountainous area of Guangxi, the forests are deep and dense, preventing the army from penetrating into them. The mountains are full of caves and caves of the Yao and Tong ethnic groups. The various ethnic groups live in a staggered manner, and there are many conflicts.
The ten prefectures in Guangdong are pretty good. Only Zhao, Gao and Lian prefectures are intertwined. Only Suixi County in Leizhou Prefecture is mountainous. Only Lianzhou Prefecture in Guangzhou Prefecture is close to it. The rest are all coastal to the sea. The terrain is easy and there are no dangerous mountains and forests. It is very rich.
The governor-general of Guangdong and Guangxi was the real official of the frontier. According to the imperial edict, Lin Ruhai's basic responsibilities were: to govern the army and the people, to comprehensively control the civil and military affairs, to inspect and promote officials, and to repair the frontier.
Moreover, all strategies and systems of the imperial court need to be communicated to the governor first, and then implemented to the local level.
In other words, in the land of Guangdong and Guangxi, all military affairs, official promotions, and financial matters are all decided by Lin Ruhai.
The only drawback is that it is too far from the center.
This is the result of the real compromise with the Emperor today.
The Supreme Emperor can delegate power, but he will never delegate power to the central government. Not long after, Lin Ruhai received an order from the Ministry of Officials and immediately went to Guangdong and Guangxi to take up his post.
It seemed that no one in the court wanted the couple to stay here. The handover of power and responsibilities that originally took several months was completed in just half a month.
Outrageous.
In the yard, Lin Ruhai looked at her precious daughter and son with great nostalgia.
Next time I come back, my children should be all grown up.
Who could know that there are countless hardships and tears in parting in just four words: starting a family and starting a business.
Lin Daiyu hugged the little yellow cat and didn't care.
After waiting for a while, she will establish the basic points of dreams in various places and truly cover the world with the illusion of Taixu. If she misses her parents in the future, she can just fall into a dream.
Lin Enran cried profusely, feeling sad and sorrowful. She hugged her mother's thigh tightly and wouldn't let go.
Once his parents leave, he will be bullied by his sister and the little yellow cat again. He spent the whole day reading and exercising. He also wanted to be like his cousin Baoyu and play with his pretty and lovely sisters.
Jia Min pushed him away casually. As a boy, the beatings he received when he was young can become a ladder for his future progress.
"Daiyu, please remember to take good care of Lele at home from now on!" Jia Min instructed seriously.
Lin Ruhai also nodded. The longer he had been operating in Lianghuai, the more frightened he became about the strength of those big salt merchants.
It can even be said that as long as they are willing, those big businessmen and gentry can pull out a fully armed elite force in a short time. With such strength, given his situation at the time, he could only hit an egg with an egg against a stone, let alone achieve his current political achievements.
It can be said that without Lele, there would be no Lin family. No matter how nice you are to him, you should.
Lin Daiyu nodded solemnly: "Okay!"
"Meow~" The little yellow cat was a little embarrassed.
After all, he doesn't seem to do much except eat, drink and have fun. Could this be the happiness of the cat tribe: lying down and winning?
Lin Enran:? ? ?
Me, me!
After giving the most important instructions, Lin Ruhai looked at himself, the only son of the Lin family.
Lin Enran's face was full of expectations.
"As a man, you should be more responsible and have a sense of responsibility. From now on at home, you should watch more, learn more, talk less, and eat less.
As the head of a family, diligent and frugal housekeeping is the best virtue for a family to accumulate heritage, strength, and wealth.
Remember, the future of the Lin family is yours! " Lin Ruhai ordered casually.
Lin Enran:???
If his father hadn't just told Lele to let him eat as much as he wanted, he would have almost believed it.
He is only a ten-year-old child!
…
As the Lin family couple left, the Lin Mansion became quiet again. Although there were still many people who came to visit, they were all turned away by Lin Daiyu.
The governors of Guangdong and Guangxi have thousands of officials who have been promoted, not to mention the systems and strategies, each of which involves hundreds of thousands of families. Even sometimes, Lin Ruhai's casual words can unintentionally cause many people to rise up, or directly lead to their demise.
For those ordinary people, these words are true at all.
One cent more or one cent less tax may completely change their destiny.
As a result, there are naturally many caring people taking the path of children.
It's a pity that Lin Daiyu is a good lady and never goes out. How come Lin Enran, apart from studying in Taixue, has been studying and practicing in seclusion at home.
Working so hard makes those second-generation people who are just waiting to die feel very uncomfortable.
The key is that Lin Ruhai is not at home either, and I don't know what Lin Enran is afraid of. What's the matter with gambling with them or smoking some tobacco? Could it be that his own sister could still beat him to death?
On the other hand, he came over without hesitation to invite me to dinner, and he also agreed in advance that he would not treat me if he had no money.
Isn't this free prostitution?
In the Lin family courtyard, after breaking the leg of her younger brother who was making trouble to go out and didn't want to study, Lin Daiyu continued to practice safely.
As her cultivation level increased, she became indifferent to many things and even saw them too clearly. It was a small thing for her to have her parents leave and have no one to rely on.
Your own strength is the real strength!
"Bang~" With a casual squeeze, the porcelain cup in the girl's hand was crushed into a ball of powder.
Not surprised, Xue Yan picked up the broom and prepared to come over and clean it. It's always like this every time Lele makes his lady angry.
There was just one thing that made her very strange.
Every time I take a bath with the young lady, the girl's whole body is white, delicate, and soft. Most importantly, she doesn't even have hair. Where does she get such strength?
magic.
"Meow~" The little yellow cat suddenly appeared and jumped on the shovel's shoulder.
Work hard, work hard!
The tip of Lin Daiyu's nose was suddenly filled with a quiet girlish fragrance, and she became even more angry: "Where have you been fooling around, and you still know how to come back?"
Miao Le was stunned. What was going on? It felt like his daughter-in-law was scolding her husband when he returned home.
After a moment of silence, the little yellow cat became even angrier, its blue eyes widened: "Meow~"
You are so presumptuous, why are you talking to the master?
Lin Daiyu clenched her fists, then smiled sweetly and said softly: "Brother Lele, I'm kidding you. Dinner has been prepared for you a long time ago. Come on, let's go eat."
The little yellow cat raised its head, arrogantly, its tail almost turned into a fan, its ears twitched, it was very proud.
This is how you should treat women, don't be polite.
They will never remember how attentive and considerate others were to her, they will only remember how much they have paid for others.
The more you give, the more you will give up.
If you lick a dog, you will get nothing.
Men, you have to be tough when you need to be tough!
