Quick Transmigration: Start killing from The Legend of Zhen Huan!
Chapter 927: Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu (90)
"Big Cousin, you're mistaken!"
Li Siqi gently shook her head, "It was arranged by my parents and the matchmaker."
Yu'er believed that her father and mother would choose a suitable marriage for her.
As for who she will marry.
Yu'er won't mind.
"You, you are like this..."
Jia Yuanchun wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.
Who doesn't want to marry into a good family?
Everyone finds a suitable family in advance and then asks the emperor for an imperial decree.
It's something everyone knows perfectly well.
"Cousin Yu'er, are you really not concerned about your marriage?"
Wang Xifeng was also surprised, "You would agree to marry him no matter who he is?"
"As long as it's arranged by Father and Mother."
Li Siqi responded softly, "Yu'er will not refuse."
Yu'er believed that her father would find the most suitable family.
"just in case?"
Jia Yuanchun couldn't help but ask, "What if something unexpected happens?"
You should know that if a girl marries the wrong person, her life will be very difficult.
It is said that getting married is like a girl being reborn.
It would be better if my cousin Yu'er showed some concern.
"Okay, I will."
Li Siqi didn't care how sincere she was.
He nodded in agreement.
Seeing that she seemed easy to talk to, Jia Yuanchun added, "If you encounter anything you can't figure out, you can come to me."
I sincerely hope that all of us sisters can live good lives.
"If it's necessary, I will."
There's no need for you to come over.
Although this sentence was not said aloud.
Jia Yuanchun understood.
Seeing that the atmosphere between them was not right, Wang Xifeng had no choice but to change the subject, "Cousin Yu'er, I heard that all kinds of glass products in the capital were made by people around you."
I'd like to ask if I could get some goods from you to sell in my shop?
"Is my second cousin-in-law also planning to sell these glass items?"
"Everyone knows that glass items are the most popular, and I'd like to bask in the glory of your shop..."
……
The Jia family members had lunch at the Jin State Mansion before leaving.
Lin Ruhai and his wife continued to be busy, while Li Siqi returned to her leisurely state.
That night.
Wang Xifeng whispered something to Jia Lian.
"What do you think Yuan Chun is trying to do?"
Wang Xifeng nudged the person next to her and muttered, "I feel like something's off about this girl."
Her words were strange and cryptic.
My impression is that she seems to want to stay in the Duke of Jin's mansion.
"What's the man she's arranging a marriage for doing in the Duke of Jin's mansion?"
Jia Lian scoffed, "Besides, the Duke of Jin's mansion isn't a place she can just move into whenever she wants."
Not to mention that the current mistress of the house is Madam Xu.
Even our own aunt might not be happy to let an older woman live in her backyard.
Yuan Chun is truly clueless!
"Yes, both families live in the capital."
Wang Xifeng continued, "The distance between them is not far."
The round trip takes only half an hour.
But her plan to move into the Duke of Jin's mansion just didn't seem right.
"Given her current situation, she definitely wants to use the Duke of Jin's mansion to find a marriage partner."
Jia Lian sneered, "A woman who aspires to become a concubine in the palace has also witnessed the glory and wealth of the palace."
How could she be willing to just marry off any random person?
There's no way anyone in our family will find the kind of marriage she wants.
Uncle Lin is different; he is now a Duke.
The powerful and influential people who frequented the Duke of Jin's mansion were what she truly desired.
So it's normal for her to have this plan.
"I see."
Wang Xifeng finally understood, "What she did was tantamount to seducing someone in the Duke of Jin's mansion."
If this reputation were to spread, the Duke of Jin's mansion would become a laughing stock.
No wonder her cousin Yu'er spoke harshly to her.
The two cousins almost came to blows.
"It's not surprising that she couldn't let go of the wealth and status in the palace and wanted to use the opportunity to climb the social ladder."
"I just don't know if she'll have the luck to live that life!"
……
The bustling atmosphere at the Duke of Jin's mansion continued for three days.
It wasn't until the fifth day that things finally calmed down.
The storerooms of the Duke of Jin's mansion were piled high with all sorts of gifts.
In Li Siqi's words, she made a windfall.
This situation was tacitly accepted by both the ruler and his subjects.
Nobody will bring this up.
Life has become quieter.
Lin Ruhai still did not attend court.
After all, his position hasn't been officially revoked yet.
He will only start attending the morning court sessions after he officially joins the company.
Lin Ruhai took advantage of this rare break to spend quality time at home with his wife and daughter.
"Father, aren't you planning to visit the Jia family?"
Li Siqi was somewhat surprised, "Will the Jia family spread rumors that you are unfilial?"
"will not."
Lin Ruhai smiled confidently, "They wouldn't dare."
As a father who is still a fourth-rank official, perhaps he needs to be a little cautious.
No need for that now.
Judging from the way the Jia family treats you, Yu'er.
As a father, I never want to step into the gates of the Rongguo Mansion again.
I believe they are dissatisfied, but dare not say anything.
"Yu'er, you don't need to worry about your father."
Xu Ruxin said softly, "Given the status of the Duke of Jin, your maternal grandmother could not possibly put on airs of an elder in front of your father."
"And it's even more impossible for me to do anything that would offend your father."
"It seems that Yu'er is overthinking things."
Li Siqi smiled and asked, "Father, what are your eldest and second uncles mainly here for?"
"Besides inquiring about my father's position, I also want to know about Jia Lian's position."
Lin Ruhai did not hide anything from his daughter, "His Majesty intends for me to go to the Ministry of Revenue."
If nothing unexpected happens, Jia Lian will also be assigned to the Ministry of Revenue.
"Ministry of Revenue?"
Li Siqi asked in surprise, "Is he the Minister of Revenue? A first-rank official?"
"Dad, wasn't your promotion a bit too fast?"
"Not the Minister."
Lin Ruhai was amused by his daughter's expression. "Her rank should be that of a second-rank Left Vice Minister."
However, Minister Yan of the Ministry of Revenue is in poor health and is preparing to resign and retire.
His Majesty has not yet approved it.
But they'll agree sooner or later.
The imperial physician said that Lord Yan's condition was quite serious and that it would be best for him to rest as soon as possible.
In another year or two, the Emperor will approve his resignation.
"Father, does this mean His Majesty intends to hand over the Ministry of Revenue to you?"
Li Siqi immediately saw through this, "Lord Yan stayed to guide you, and when you are in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, you will take over, right?"
"That is indeed what His Majesty meant."
Lin Ruhai smiled and nodded, "You never know what might happen in the future."
"Of course, there won't be any surprises."
Xu Ruxin gently scolded, "Master, how could you speak so carelessly?"
Don't talk about things that have no basis in fact.
"Okay, I won't say it, I won't say it again."
Lin Ruhai smiled, his tone very compliant.
Xu Ruxin also regained her smiling appearance.
Li Siqi was fed a mouthful of dog food by the two.
Feeling too full, she quickly excused herself and left.
……
a few days later.
As expected, Lin Ruhai was appointed as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
At the same time, Jia Lian served as the Right Councilor of the Ministry of Revenue.
The Right Councilor was also a fourth-rank official, which seemed like a lateral transfer, but there was a saying that officials in the capital were one rank higher than local officials.
Therefore, some people didn't take Jia Lian's position seriously, but others considered it quite good.
He was at least the most outstanding member of the Jia family.
The Jia family's main branch has been filled with joy these days.
