Chapter 369: Love in the Red Mansion is as Deep as the Sea 49
The servants in the Lin family recently received six months' allowance. First, the eldest master won the first place in the imperial examination and was awarded three months' allowance by the master. Then, the young lady gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, on March 18th.
This was a great joyous occasion, and the master was so pleased that he awarded Lin Ruhai three more months' salary.
How old is Daiyu? It seems ridiculous to Lin Ruhai that she can give birth to two children at such a young age.
The feeling Lin Ruhai had when he saw the third prince was the same as that he would have felt in later generations when he saw his daughter, who was both virtuous and academically excellent, being abducted by a yellow-haired man.
Lin Ruhai cursed inwardly: "What the hell is going on in this society?! If it were a society ruled by law, a son-in-law like this would be beaten to death!"
Although Lin Ruhai was upset, the emperor was very happy. This was a good omen, a dragon and a phoenix appearing together. The royal family had never encountered such a thing before.
So the emperor took a lot of private money from his private treasury and sent it to the third prince's mansion as rewards.
The queen also sent sixteen experienced maids to serve Lin Daiyu and her newborn grandchildren.
The queen has finally calmed down. As long as the wife can give birth, who would still want a concubine's son when they have so many legitimate sons?
Besides, the daughters of the Lin family are really good at giving birth. This auspicious title given to the son increases the chances of success.
The royal family has some feelings but definitely not much, and it is more out of political considerations.
The emperor was also quietly examining his sons. This was not a question of who was favored or not.
Choosing a ruler for a country cannot be done carelessly. The country and its people are of great weight. If you choose a foolish ruler, you will not be able to face your ancestors even after your death.
Tanchun was married into the Yang family on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. The wedding was very respectable and the Yang family was very satisfied with the match.
Although she is a concubine's daughter, Tanchun is not petty at all. She is good at housekeeping and daily life at home. She can also read and write. The couple lives in harmony with each other.
Lin Ruhai also arranged a marriage for Lin Jinyu, raising the bar considerably. The then Prime Minister, Lord Wang, promised his granddaughter to Lin Jinyu.
It was Grandmother Jia who went to the inner palace to see the girl. The girl was cheerful and lively, and she was generous and not shy at all.
Grandmother Jia was also very satisfied. Now that Jinyu's marriage was settled, Grandmother Jia could feel that she had accomplished one of her wishes.
Her daughter only left behind two children, and as an old woman, she would be content as long as Daiyu and Jinyu lived well.
There was another happy event in the Jia family this year. Jia Lian, who had been working outside for so many years, was finally transferred back and given an actual position as a doctor in the Ministry of Justice.
As long as he can endure for two more years, he can be promoted to a fourth-rank official position. Generally, officials who are sent out to other places are demoted one level when they return to the capital. For someone like Jia Lian who is not demoted, he has a bright future.
Jia She has been as happy as a child these days, ordering the servants of the Jia family around.
Jia She originally wanted to occupy the villa where he came to visit his parents as a yard for his grandson, but it was occupied by Jia Baoyu as a wedding house.
Jia She was so angry that he smashed two tea bowls at home: "The second branch is too much, they took over the house that we spent money to build?
Baoyu is so young and he’s already using the villa for his parents’ visit as his new home? Isn’t he afraid of losing his good fortune? This family will all belong to the second son! I’m so pissed off!
Mrs. Xing quickly stepped forward to persuade him, "Master, there's no need to be angry. We won't fight with them for that big butt place!
It would be nice if our grandson could live in the East Courtyard when he comes back. How many more years can they occupy it?
It will be divided up in the future, but we have both face and money now, and no one can find fault with us.
The more frivolous they are, the more shameless they appear. They cannot move out of this villa in the mansion.
It will still be ours for a few more years, so please calm down, sir! It's not worth getting angry about this."
Jia She's eyes rolled, and he felt that what his wife said made sense, so he gave the pair of phoenix hairpins left by his grandmother to Mrs. Xing.
Mrs. Xing has become more knowledgeable over the years, and now in the entire East Courtyard, only Mrs. Xing and Jia She can chat frequently.
Young couples grow old together, and as Jia She grew older, his interest in beauties gradually diminished. Instead, he enjoyed chatting happily with his wife, whom he had looked down upon in his youth.
Lin Ruhai had made a lot of money over the years, enjoying the emperor's wealth while he drank the soup. He was truly making a fortune in maritime trade.
Due to the development of maritime trade, the court's shipbuilding industry also developed vigorously. The Prince of Nan'an was killed by the Kingdom of Java. The emperor was furious and took the opportunity to launch a war.
Moreover, the imperial court won, and some ministers proposed to support a regime in Java.
He felt that Java was too far away and would be a waste of money and effort to govern. Lin Ruhai produced a memorial, and the emperor's eyes lit up after reading it.
How could this be considered barren land? Crops harvested three times a year were everywhere, spices were everywhere, and there were even gold mines.
So the emperor waved his hand and ordered all the people affected by the disaster in Heian Province to immigrate to Java.
Now, take over the land for me immediately. Over the years, Java has contributed a large amount of tax revenue to the imperial court every year.
The emperor thought this was a good thing, so the court spent a lot of money every year to develop the shipbuilding industry and thermal weapons.
In the past two years, the imperial court has successively conquered Yanluo and Annan. This time, none of the ministers will complain about the waste of money and manpower.
The imperial court is now looking forward to seeing a disaster somewhere, and they are in need of many immigrants.
The court's agricultural tax is now very low, but the emperor has abolished the head tax and directly collects agricultural tax based on the land.
The lives of ordinary people at the bottom of society have become much better. At least they can fill their stomachs. When the government is in order and the people are in harmony, this is a peaceful and prosperous era.
In the past few years, Lin Daiyu gave birth to three more boys, and Lin Jinyu also gave birth to two grandsons for Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai finally entered the cabinet and took over the position of Prime Minister from his relative Wang, which was the highest position he could hold in an official position.
Grandmother Jia finally passed away peacefully in her sleep at the age of 92, and the entire Jia family was immersed in grief.
Lin Ruhai requested a decree of mourning, but the emperor refused. However, with Lin Ruhai as a strong supporter and the third prince's wife's reputation, Grandmother Jia's funeral was handled with great fanfare.
The emperor bestowed 1,200 taels of silver upon her. Lady Jia lived long enough to finally attain a high and respected status.
The third prince and the princess came to the Jia Mansion in person to burn incense, and the chief minister also followed to the Jia Mansion to thank the relatives and friends who came to burn incense.
Everyone said that the marriage between the Jia family and the Lin family was a blessing from their ancestors. Even after so many years since Jia Min passed away, Lin Ruhai is still alone.
For so many years, the Lin family has been protecting the Jia family, and Lin Jinyu has not even had a concubine for so many years, and has to live with his wife.
After Lady Jia left, Jia She arranged for Jia Zheng to divide up the family property, and the family moved out of a four-story house on the back street. Jia She also modified all the areas in the Jia Mansion that were out of place.
The most surprising thing was Jia Zhen. Less than three months after his mother passed away, Jia Zhen fell and passed away with her.
Xichun had been married for many years, so Jia Jing used Yang Zhanhui's connections to transfer Jia Rong, who had been promoted to the fifth rank.
