The Rebirth of the Red Chamber as Lian
Chapter 47
Grandma always knew you were a good boy," Mrs. Zhou was beating the drums, wiped away tears she didn't know if they existed, and took Jia Lian's hand and said, "At the beginning, when you sent the picture of giving a child with a golden lotus, I I don't know how happy I am with your grandpa.Lian'er, I know you haven't made up your mind yet, but I'm already this age, how long can I wait?I really..."
"Grandmother," Jia Lian was helplessly crying by the old lady, and she half swayed her arms around the old man, persuading: "Who dares to say that you are getting old, I see that you are young. Besides, Jinlian's sending a child may not necessarily be sending me. Son, if you and grandpa really can't wait, give me a little uncle. Let me tell you..."
Mr. Zhou slapped Jia Lian on the back of the head, pointed at him angrily, and stared, "What are you talking about? How old is I? Is he still alive? Will he be born? You bastard, don't talk nonsense anymore, pick one quickly Come out. Let me tell you a little bastard, if you don’t get me a great-grandson next year, believe it or not, I will drug you and find ten or eight women to rape you.”
Hearing these words, Jia Lian's expression turned awkward.The Jia family just came out with a Jia Yuanchun who wants to rape Yu Wenhu, and his grandfather is going to find a woman to rape him. Grandma dares to make fun of it, doesn't she? I don't think you need to wait until next year, old man, you can find medicine now."
Do you want to be so tough, grandma? !Jia Xiaolian hurriedly grabbed the old man who was about to leave, and put his arms around the old lady again, "Don't, grandson, I'm not joking, I'm serious with your elders. I asked someone to find a medicine, no matter how old you are, as long as you With this medicine, Baozhun can give birth to a fat boy..." As he spoke, Jia Lian felt like a fool.
But in fact, it was similar, the medicine was brought to him by the monk and the Taoist couple, and those two people were just talking about it.
"Why do I feel that Lian'er is fooling people?" Mr. Zhou held a small medicine bottle in his hand, watched his grandson disappear in a flash, and asked his wife uncertainly, "Tell me, is he Are you fooling us?"
The old lady rubbed her swollen eyebrows, and gave the old man a gouging look, "It's not you who drove the child into a hurry, and even made up this kind of magic medicine. He is still alive, and he is so old. If you can give birth, even if you can give birth, you don't feel ashamed."
The old man was not happy, and said with a stern face: "What's the shame? If we can really have a baby, I don't know how many people are envious and jealous. I'm just afraid that the kid's nonsense will make me happy for nothing. But it's not necessarily true, Lian'er doesn't know where she learned the skill, but the medicine she made is very effective. It's like last time, when the crown prince forced the palace..."
"Then... should I take this medicine or not?"

When Jia Lian mentioned that he might have a little uncle, Yu Wenhu was helping him brush his black hair, and almost pulled a lock off with his hands.He hurriedly rubbed it for Jia Lian, and asked in surprise, "Brother Lian, are you joking? Master Zhou is over seventy, and Mrs. Loyalty, the old lady is about that age..." The words in the words The meaning of unfinished business is obvious, at such an advanced age, can it still be born?
"What's the matter, can it be more difficult than you and me to give birth to one? Not only my grandparents, but also my father, I am also going to let him have another one. In this way, there will be people who inherit the blood of the two families, so I will give birth to a child." There's no need for us to make things difficult here." Jia Lian grinned at him, twisted Yu Wenhu's waist unhappily, and counted with his fingers.
Yu Wenhu knew that although he and Jia Lian were connected, the issue of bloodline heirs had always been between them.He's better, the royal family doesn't have many other things, but there are many sons, he can't have a group of brothers here.But brother Lian is different, he is the inheritance of Jia and Zhou's bloodline.Even if Yu Wenhu was reluctant, he couldn't say what would make Jia Lian die from him.
In the past, he looked at Jia Lian indifferently, and only secretly felt sad when he thought about it.Unexpectedly, although his brother Lian didn't say anything, he had already found a solution in private.Yu Wenhu was so happy that he couldn't control himself, he lowered his head and gnawed on Jia Lian's face, then happily wiped his hair, exclaiming that Lian's brother's hair is so easy to touch. . .
Jia Lian squinted lazily, and did not take advantage of being taken advantage of. When he was falling asleep, Yu Wenhu suddenly sighed: "People are always greedy. Sometimes I think, if there is a child , It's the union of your blood and mine, so how lovable it must be." After finishing speaking, he laughed at himself, obviously realizing that he was a fool.
"Then it's fine for us to have one." Jia Lian turned over, half-supported and half-pressed on top of Yu Wenhu, and gently stroked his lips with his fingers, "But, is it you who will give birth, or me? Think about it." , you go to the morning court with such a big belly, or I fight with someone with a big belly, isn’t that very interesting scene? Brother Wen, what do you think?”
As the saying goes, even if you have never eaten pork, you have seen pigs running. Although Lord Su has never been pregnant, nor has anyone been pregnant, he has indeed seen pregnant women.However, for the picture of himself or Jia Lian with a big belly, Lord Su said that he was incapable of imagining.Holding the person on his body with his head downcast, Yu Wenhu said angrily: "Why didn't the child jump out of the crack in the rock?!"
"I'm ready to raise my little uncle and little brother as sons in the future. Why don't you also ask the emperor to give you a little brother and raise him as your son." Jia Lian suggested rather heartlessly, I don't feel that I am a cheating father, uncle and younger brother.He rubbed against Yu Wenhu's neck, and the lust that had been released just now rose again, and the two of them fought for power again...
The old emperor and the great prince She, who had already set foot on the boundary of Yangzhou, sneezed at the same time, attracting the attention of the attendants.Of these two masters, one is more precious than the other, if they make the slightest mistake, these people will all suffer.Fortunately, the two of them only sneezed this one time and there was nothing else to say, which made Kun Lun, Li Qing and others feel relieved.
At this time, the old emperor was dressed like an ordinary scribe, and his face was modified a little, making it impossible for people to recognize him as the one sitting in the Golden Luan Hall.Jia Amnesty is still in his usual attire, no matter how rich and powerful he is, he looks like he can't wait to wear all the money on his body.Kunlun was the only one serving by his side who was acquainted with each other, and the rest of the Grand Prince Xi didn't know anyone, not even Li Qing.
According to His Majesty the Emperor, when Prince Zhongrong went to the south of the Yangtze River, he came to show off.And these few of them are here to support King Rongjun. He himself is a counselor and clearer, and the others are housekeepers and servants, so there is no need to give them face.The great prince Xie stared at the side, slandering in his heart.It sounds nice now, but when it comes time to settle the bill, whoever uses it will know!
Jia Amnesty went south all the way, although he didn't make much fanfare, but he didn't deliberately cover up his travel.He was on an official mission to the south, so it would be ugly to cover up his whereabouts furtively.Therefore, when the group of them arrived in Yangzhou, they still alarmed all officials on the ground in Jiangsu.Before disembarking, many officials were already waiting on the dock.The leader was Jia Amnesty's brother-in-law Lin Ruhai, the magistrate of Yangzhou.
Judging from this arrangement, the officials in Jiangnan also put their minds to it.Although Lin Ruhai's official position is not high, but he is related to Jia's family by marriage, and he is also the highest official in Yangzhou. If he leads the reception, it won't appear that the Jiangsu officials are too flattering, and it won't make Jia Amnesty feel coldly received.In the final analysis, the feelings of the Jiangnan officials towards the Grand Prince She is quite complicated.
He was originally an old dandy who was about to fall into the family. He had neither ability nor real power, so he was not worthy of their admiration at all.But they suddenly had shit luck and became the hottest county king with a different surname, how embarrassing they were.These people have worked hard in the local area for decades, and they are not as good as others for saving them at critical moments. How can people not envy and hate them.
"Your official, Lin Hai, pays homage to the King of Zhongrong County." Lin Ruhai stepped forward to greet him, and when he bowed halfway, he was supported by Jia Amnesty. Big brother." He was also testing, to see if this well-developed big brother floated up.Now it seems that although the taste is as rich as ever, people still stand on the ground.
Lin Ruhai exchanged greetings with Jia She, but his eyes turned a few times around the people accompanying him.The emperor was not in the palace, and it seemed that news had come that he was secretly going south with the king of Zhongrong County, so he naturally took a good look.Lin Ruhai was also from Tanhua back then, so naturally he had a face-to-face look, and he felt relieved after sweeping his eyes.Only the scribe was suspicious, but judging from his relationship with Jia She, he should be the emperor.
The old emperor had already prepared for this matter. He followed Jia Amnesty to Jiangnan, but arranged for another group of people to be led by Li Qing to go another way, in order to achieve the purpose of confusing people's eyes and ears.Judging from Lin Ruhai's reaction alone, it can be regarded as the achievement of the goal.Satisfied, the old emperor raised his eyes to look at Jia Enhou, only to see that this guy was smiling at Lin Ruhai so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, he didn't notice his scrutiny at all, and wished he could kick him.
"Brother brother, who is this?" Lin Ruhai asked casually after returning to the Lin Mansion where the host and guest were seated.This scribe looked about fifty, and seemed to be close to Jia She, and the small gestures between the two seemed very intimate.Just like now, Jia Amnesty was pulled by his sleeve and handed him his cup.This kind of interaction was obviously unusual, which convinced Lin Ruhai that this scribe was definitely not His Majesty the Emperor.
His Majesty She was robbed of the herbal tea that was about to reach his mouth. He felt aggrieved in his heart. Hearing Lin Ruhai's question, he said angrily, "This is Lian'er's tutor, Brother Li Hua. He heard that I was going to Jiangnan for business. , stubbornly insisted on following, saying that he had never seen the misty rain and prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River, so he must come and experience it, and Ruhai ignored him." After finishing speaking, he regretted it again, what would he do if he was scouted later? ?
The old emperor smiled casually at Lin Ruhai, then glanced at Jia She meaningfully, "Your Majesty Lin, you don't have to worry about it, I'm just having a meal with the prince, and I'll take a look at the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River along the way." After all, he didn't forget to teach this smug Jia Enhou a little lesson, and twisted his toes hard on the uneven 'ground', which made His Majesty grit his teeth.
Lin Ruhai's eyes were sharp, and he could clearly see the small private actions of the two of them, and he was even more convinced that this person could not be the emperor.How majestic and calm the emperor is, how could he make such a temper tantrum.Moreover, he always felt that the relationship between these two people was unusual, and in view of the prevailing south wind nowadays... Lin Tanhua's thoughts went wrong smoothly.
"Ruhai, I have an errand to go south this time, for the salt tax in the south of the Yangtze River. But you also know what I am like, so I am not a person for serious business. If the errand cannot be resolved smoothly, then I am not good. The only way is to fight and kill. You have been an official in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, and you have a lot of contacts on the ground, so you can give me some advice." Jia Amnesty's words were casual, but murderous.
Regardless of Lin Ruhai's own knowledge or what he learned from his wife Jia Min, the elder brother Jia She is a fool.But as soon as these words came out, Lin Ruhai scratched his head a little.He understood what Jia Amnesty meant, and it was to let him take the lead in informing the salt merchants, so that Jia Amnesty could successfully complete the business.The face project is done, and he doesn't care about the future, so hello me, hello everyone.
At the same time, he also made it clear that if there is a thorn in the side who doesn't give him the face of the county king, it's okay to say, whether to fight or kill depends on his mood.Hearing what Jia She said was full of confidence, one could tell how much he was favored, how much power he had in his hands, and how much he didn't mind stirring up wind and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.Lin Ruhai is a traditional literati, but he is quite envious of his uncle who can say such nonsense.
From the bottom of his heart, Lin Ruhai really doesn't want to get involved in the salt tax, that is a hornet's nest that cannot be poked, and anyone who gets involved will be a show.But Jia Amnesty had already said what he said, so he was not allowed to refute it, and stared at him with perfect eyes.He still understands his brother-in-law. Although he is a scholar, he is by no means an upright and self-confident master. There are no less fetishes in his belly than anyone else.
"It's my duty to help my little brother, so please don't worry, big brother." Lin Ruhai didn't refuse, and responded with a smile, "Mr. You mentioned it to me today, and asked me to introduce you, hoping to meet the king of Rongjun. Why don't you take a rest today, brother-in-law, and tomorrow I will hold a banquet to welcome you, and introduce a few friends by the way."
Jia Amnesty and the old emperor looked at each other, then nodded and patted Lin Ruhai on the shoulder, "That's fine, then I'll take care of Ruhai. Maybe I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and that little niece, I heard Lianer say it Is that Daiyu? Come on, show me quickly." While talking, he pulled Lin Ruhai back in a hurry, leaving the old emperor staring at his back that dared to run away.
Just now that foot was really painful, His Majesty She didn't have the guts to be alone with the old emperor for the time being.He just said that anything he was asked to do was empty words, and if he said something wrong, he was poisoned.
The author has something to say:
Chapter Contents Fifth and Seventh Meeting with Big Brother Jia Min Again Wrong Farewell Banquet Messy Lin Ruhai
Lin Daiyu is almost four years old this year, and she still has a small appearance that smiles when she sees anyone, and she is very cute because of her elf clarity.Therefore, even though Lin Ruhai had a son the year before last, it didn't reduce his love for his daughter.And he felt that the son was brought by this precious daughter, otherwise why there were no children for so many years, but when the daughter was born, the son followed.
Jia Amnesty had heard about it from Jia Lian a long time ago, and he also liked Lin Daiyu very much, so he gave her a generous gift and even hugged her with his own hands.Since Jia Min gave birth to Daiyu, her body has been going up and down, and after her aunt gave birth to a concubine, her body became weaker and weaker due to depression.Even if Lin Ruhai treats her as before, even better than before, Jia Min is still getting gloomy and sickly, and doesn't even care about her daughter.
Seeing the elder brother who is the king of the county now, Jia Min felt that there was a place to confide in his family's grievances.Regardless of the fact that the two brothers and sisters were not that close when they were at home, it was a pain to hold Jia She in the arms, crying so much that the prince She and Lin Ruhai were embarrassed.Especially Lin Ruhai, who simply didn't know what to say.What does it mean when a daughter-in-law hugs her eldest brother and cries like this?It's not that he treated his wife badly and made her wronged.
Looking at the younger sister who was crying freely in his arms, Jia She's brows twitched.Back then, when Jia Min was not married, the relationship between brother and sister was quite ordinary. When did it get so good that you could hug each other and cry?I remember that at that time, Jia Min always had time to talk about poetry with his second child, but he had nothing in common with his elder brother.When the two siblings met, they couldn't find anything to say after saying hello.
Moreover, she cried like this in front of her brother-in-law. How much did she suffer from her brother-in-law? How could Lin Ruhai feel so embarrassed?Taking a peek at my brother-in-law's stiff face, I simply don't know what to say about her.You don't intend to make peace with Lin Ruhai, if you don't give him face so clearly, you won't be at a disadvantage in the future, why bother?But after all, this is my sister who I haven't seen for many years, and I can't ruthlessly push her away. I am sorry for the embarrassment of the prince.
"Ruhai, this is your fault." Jia She rolled his eyes, turned his head to stare at Lin Ruhai, and scolded: "Since my sister married you, she has been away from home for many years and can't get close to her family. Look at how she misses her." You don't feel bad about the appearance of your relatives? Although you are in a local office, you don't have holidays, don't think the journey is far away, and you should take your sister back to Beijing more often."
After hearing Jia Amnesty's first words, Lin Ruhai's complexion was a little grim.He thought he was very good to Jia Min, but Jia Min repeatedly put on a wronged look in front of Jia's family and gave him eye drops, which made Lin Ruhai very unhappy.He knew what was in Jia Min's heart. Wasn't it the heir issue? Wasn't the son crawling out of her intestines?But she can't give birth by herself, so she still wants him to have an endless succession?
Just now, he thought that Jia She, the brother-in-law, blamed him without asking why, so he was suffocating.But after hearing it, I realized that this uncle is a sensible person.Lin Ruhai cast a grateful glance, and followed Jia Amnesty's words and continued, "Brother brother is right, it's all Ruhai's fault, he didn't consider Min'er's family, and he will definitely take Min'er more when he has the opportunity in the future." Go back to Beijing to visit your mother-in-law."
With such a knowledgeable brother-in-law, the great prince Xie expressed his relief, and by patting Lin Ruhai's shoulder, he took advantage of the opportunity to stuff Jia Min, who was stunned from crying, into his arms.Whose daughter-in-law will be taken away, don't throw yourself into your arms indiscriminately.Jia Amnesty spoke a few more homely words to the couple, and said that he was very tired from the journey and needed a good rest.Lin Ruhai hurriedly sent him to the guest house again, and ordered him to take good care of him before leaving.
"Woo..." After finally seeing off my brother-in-law, Jia Amnesty wiped the sweat from his forehead.This scholar is really difficult to deal with, every word and deed has a special meaning, so he has to think twice about every word, for fear of revealing something if he is not careful.However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he remembered that Lin Ruhai was hiding, but there was a more difficult old emperor around.The great prince pardoned instantly had the urge to cry.
Even if you don't want to, you still have to face reality.Unexpectedly, when he lingered to the old emperor's room, he just glanced at him indifferently and said "sit down" and there was no more to say.The old emperor leisurely flipped through the materials in his hands, but Jia She was sitting on pins and needles opposite him.Is this going to be left until the end to settle the final score, or is there some kind of big storm brewing? ? ?
"Tomorrow, Lin Hai will welcome you, so I won't participate. Since he wants to introduce those Yandao officials to you, you should make friends with them. Don't be afraid to collect money. Use your ability to eat, drink and play, and let them see the capital. The demeanor of an old dandy." It took a while for the old emperor to finish reading the stack of materials, then he raised his head and gave Jia She a sideways look, then frowned and said, "The smell of makeup and powder on his body is very unpleasant, wash it off soon."
Hearing the verbal order that he could take whatever he wanted, Jia She was delighted, even if the money didn't end up in his hands, he could still enjoy it, right?And don't have too many tricks when it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, he, Jia Enhou, was born as a professional dude.However, why does he smell like powder?Jia She raised his sleeve suspiciously and sniffed, his round eyes widened, there was no smell at all.
The old emperor didn't speak, just looked at him and smiled, then turned and went to discuss matters with the spies.As the emperor, he was definitely not alone. The spies had already leaked out long before he left Beijing.Now, it's time to report the results, and I'm waiting for an opportunity to catch them all.As for this stupefied Jia Enhou... let him continue to be stupefied.
For the next days of His Majesty She's in the south of the Yangtze River, it will be a life of luxury, dissolute, unrestrained, wanton...Hand cramps after collecting money, my son no longer has to worry about my prodigal family.Almost the entire Jiangnan officialdom and shopping malls know that the King of Zhongrong County is easy to talk to, as long as he has money and face so that he can do business, this master doesn't care about anything, and dares to agree to anything.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month later, Jia Amnesty received a lot of posts that day, and then reported them to the old emperor.The old emperor casually flipped through the pages and then glanced aside. He looked critically at Jia She, "How is Enhou doing these days? I heard that even the most famous flowers on the banks of the Qinhuai River came to you. Didn't it make Enhou you happy and forget to return?"
This person, if he has been playing crazy for a long time, it is easy to play wild with his heart.Jia Amnesty's current state is between wild and not wild.However, the old emperor's words made him wake up instantly, and he shook his head vigorously to show his loyalty, "How is it possible? Your majesty, I have always followed your orders and attracted the attention of that bastard, so I dare not slack off in the slightest." What the great prince She said was categorical.
The old emperor just saw that Jia Amnesty was too relaxed, on the contrary, he was busy and beat him because of his mental imbalance.But the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Obviously he was the emperor, the one who sent errands for others, but why did he get on the head of Marquis Jia Enhou, and everything was reversed?The old emperor was never someone who would wrong him, he had to let it out when he was angry, so...
Even though he knew that pouting his lips would hurt his image, His Majesty She couldn't take care of it.Anyone who is knocked on the head and scolded will not be happy.And he always felt that the emperor scolding him was like scolding his son, and he didn't want to have a father who was not a few years older than himself. . .But he didn't dare to protest, so he could only pout his mouth higher and higher until the old emperor couldn't help but look at him and laugh.
"Okay, I didn't use much effort. You look like a child because of your grievances. It's your errand, but I have done it for you. Are you unhappy if you say a few words?" The old emperor thought it was funny. , as if coaxing his son, he stretched out his hand to rub him, "The matter has been checked almost, so there is no need to pay attention to these posts. You have stayed at home Ansheng these two days, and I am still waiting for you to show your teeth and claws again. , recharge your batteries and go.”
That errand was not sent by you, His Majesty She dared not say it, only dared to mutter in his heart.Knowing that he is incompetent, and assigning him some incompetent errands, in the end, he has to work hard on his own, and it is simply his own fault.But after his forehead was rubbed by the dragon's paw, Jia She became inexplicably happy again, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
Two days later, the king of Zhongrong County, who had been lingering in Yangzhou for nearly a month, finally planned to leave.Since the two parties had reached a mutual aid agreement, Jiangnan officials and salt merchants held a grand farewell banquet for him, and the venue was chosen at the prestigious "National Beauty and Tianxiang Building".This time, not only the local officials in Yangzhou cheered, but also countless officials in the south of the Yangtze River came out in full force.It can be regarded as sending this master away!
Although His Highness She is very talkative in some respects, that is when there are countless gold and silver at the bottom.This pestle is like a bottomless pit in the south of the Yangtze River. Who can bear it after a long time? !As long as he can be sent away as soon as possible, even if the salt tax is increased by half at the end of the year, he will accept it.Anyway, this is just a drop in the bucket for them, and this year, they can bear it.
"Everyone, I would like to thank you for your kindness." The great prince She held the high position, raised his cup and said, "I am here in Yangzhou this time on a mission for the Holy One. Thank you all for your support. I am really grateful. The friends I have made during this trip are worthwhile trips. Come and come, please drink this cup to wish our friendship will last forever. Even if you are in the capital someday, I will not forget your friendship. Please! "
Jia Amnesty had attended quite a few banquets, many of which were larger than this scale, but it was the first time that he led the toast.In the past, he was always a participant, but this time he became the leader. His Highness She was a little complacent, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows to glance at the emperor beside him.The old emperor couldn't bear to look straight at him, so he kicked him under the table.
The atmosphere off the court was also very lively, everyone was very proud of the king of Zhongrong County, and drank all the wine in their glasses.As a result, the small medicine bottle, which Jia Lian called "pour in a cup", successfully made a contribution, and once again helped his cheap father pour a large piece. . .However, the last time was an accident, but this time it was premeditated.Under the personal guidance of His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty She once again staged a lore! ! !
A large area lay down, messing up Lin Ruhai.As one of the only three "living" people on the scene, Tanhualang rarely let go of his image, opened his mouth wide and stared at his uncle, the expression on his face could no longer be described as stiff.What does this mean?Uncle is crazy?
The author has something to say:,
Chapter Contents Chapter 1 Chapter 2: The errands are like a sea, it's really hard
In the Guose Tianxiang Building, the Great Prince She ran back and forth among the lying "corpses", without noticing the increasingly dismal expression of his brother-in-law.Lin Ruhai was a little desperate, let's see who is among those who have been brought down—Governor of Liangjiang, Cong first rank; Governor of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui provinces, Second rank; From the third grade...Tan Hualang's eyes were darkened, and he couldn't count.
Moreover, these people represent not only themselves, but also the intricate families and factions behind them.After offending so many influences, what on earth does his big uncle want to do? !There are also those salt merchants who control most of the salt industry in the Qing Dynasty. It can be said that they collectively stomp their feet in the south of the Yangtze River, and they can shake the Forbidden City in the capital.Now that the eldest brother has put everyone down, what do you want to do next?
In fact, these are not important to Lin Ruhai, the only important thing is why Jia She didn't bring him down together, did he want him to be an accomplice?Oh no!Tanhualang managed to calm down, and his mind began to quickly calculate how to get himself out.Although he and Jia She are relatives by marriage, they are by no means so close that they share the burden of misfortune.
After calming down a little, Lin Ruhai felt the gaze from beside him.But when he looked up, he saw that Mr. Li, Jia Lian's teacher, whom Jia She said was shaking his fan with a smile, followed Jia She with his eyes.Faced with such a scene, he can remain calm. Either this person is too deep in the city, or he is a participant in this matter.Lin Ruhai's heart tightened, and he was a little uncertain about today's affairs.No, there must be something he didn't expect.
Although there was news from the capital that the emperor was not in the palace and went to the south of the Yangtze River, they have not been able to find out the whereabouts of the emperor for such a long time.Could it be that Jia Amnesty did all this in accordance with the emperor's will?Lin Ruhai pondered for a while, then shook his head secretly.Today's holy majesty has always been kind and forgiving to officials. If it wasn't for the heinous people, he would not kill him, let alone such a large area.
That is to say, all of this is Jia She's own assertion?But it's not right, he still has some understanding of Jia Amnesty, this man is not a courageous person, he would never dare to do such a lawless thing.So what's going on? ? ?Tanhualang felt his head throbbing and throbbing, he couldn't see the appearance of the people with colorful eyes, and there were crackling lightning and thunder in his ears...
"Your Majesty, come and see, come and see." Jia She jumped up to a fat salt merchant, pulled his hair, and greeted him very cheerfully, "Let me tell you, this guy is the one who has the most tricks." Yes, there are people who are richer than him, but he is the most particular about playing. I heard that last year, the salt merchants threw gold leaves into the Qianjiang tide, and this person was the first to do it, which caused many salt merchants to follow suit."
Jia She poked the salt merchant's face like a pig's head, then jumped back to the old emperor's side, and whispered mysteriously: "I also heard that they are going to have a night banquet at the Slender West Lake after a while, and all lights will be illuminated with night pearls." Also, there is a store in Lian'er's shop in Jinling, and this guy dares to spend money in front of Lian'er, wanting to buy shares." Actually, the complaint later is the key point! ?
This is the first time the old emperor heard about it, and the corners of his mouth jokingly curled up, "Then he kicked the iron plate. That son of yours looks gentle and gentle, but in fact he has a bad stomach, and it's even worse when he tosses people." He is ruthless and ruthless, but he accepts some of them." These words are short of giving Jia Lian the title of "gentle scum", but they can make people feel the preference.
"That's right, he doesn't even look at who is standing behind that shop." The great prince She directly took it as a compliment to his son, and with a big face, he was a little smug, and said: "It's still Lian'er who has a good reputation. After I opened it, I gave you three ingredients. I thought it was too much at the time, but now it seems that it is worth the money. Your Majesty, you are really awesome!" I learned this word from my son.
Hearing this, the smile on the old emperor's face froze slightly, and he closed his fan with a 'slap' and tapped it on the forehead, "I don't think this is a compliment! You father and son are pulling my tiger skin as a flag, and you still have it?" Dare to feel sorry for such a small person. Jia Enhou, do you think I have been too indulgent to you recently?" This guy dares to say anything, and he is not afraid of people hearing him, really.
Lin Ruhai couldn't be shocked that the uncle was 'flirting' with a man, he was completely immersed in the fact - the emperor, Jia She just called that man the emperor... what does this mean?No matter how sluggish his brain was, Lin Tanhua understood one thing: No matter how lame his uncle is, he still cannot recognize the emperor by mistake.That means that it was him who was lame, and the emperor couldn't recognize him face to face.
With a plop, Lin Ruhai either knelt down or fell down, and kowtowed sadly, "Chen Lin Hai kowtows to the emperor." What is this all about!Lin Ruhai is now in chaos, completely in chaos.Kneeling there, his lips opened and closed for a long time, but he couldn't say anything.He didn't know what to say, welcome the emperor?Please forgive the emperor?Everything is wrong.
"Lin Aiqing, please get up." The old emperor pulled Jia She behind him and told him to sit obediently, then he narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly: "I came here uninvited, and I would like to thank Lin Aiqing for her hospitality over the past few days. Enhou came to conduct a thorough investigation of the Jiangnan salt administration, and received a lot of help from Aiqing, which is really comforting to me. Aiqing has been an official in Jiangnan for a long time, why don't you come here to assist Enhou in dealing with the aftermath?"
Before coming, the old emperor planned to use the thunder method himself.But after meeting Lin Ruhai this time, he changed his mind.He worked hard for Jia Enhou, that's because he wanted to, just to make himself happy.But who is he?It's the emperor!There are so many people down there, who can't be assigned to offend people, why do you have to do it yourself.There are so many people who want to climb up, and they are not afraid of offending others.
Now, he is optimistic about this Lin Ruhai.A bright future has already been paved, it depends on how Tanhualang chooses.He believed that the descendants of the Lin family in Gusu would not be fools who chose the wrong side.
This... is really not good.Lin Ruhai didn't dare to say what he said in his heart, and he replied with tears of gratitude on his face: "I obey the order. It is a great honor for me to assist the king of Zhongrong County in his errands. Please rest assured, the emperor, I will definitely work hard to serve the court and share the worries of the emperor. , to share the worries of Zhongrong County King." Lin Ruhai is very skilled in Biao Zhongxin's job, and he spoke impassionedly.
But in fact, he had already fainted several times in his heart.Lin Ruhai is a smart person, the old emperor's words turned around in his mind twice, and he could naturally hear the meaning behind the words.Jia She is his elder brother-in-law, and he has lived in his house since he came to Jiangnan and never returned to his hometown. He introduced countless officials and salt merchants to know Jia She, and today's banquet was also invited by his post...
Jia Shen's reputation as a playboy is well-known, and during this period of time he was very happy in Jiangnan, he was relentless in collecting money, and he didn't do well in things without brains... This kind of scheme schemed against the entire Jiangnan officialdom and salt merchants Obviously, this game is not something Jia She can handle.Who was behind the plot?Lin Ruhai now knows that this is the current emperor himself.
But... others don't know! ! !
Lin Ruhai didn't even need to think about it, he knew that these people lying down and the relatives and forces behind them would definitely believe that someone was behind the scenes.And that person will most likely be identified as Lin Ruhai!As soon as he thought of this, Tanhualang wanted to die.This time, even if he can escape unscathed, he may struggle in the officialdom in the future. I don't know how many people have tripped him up.
But Lin Ruhai also knew that he had no choice.The emperor obviously didn't want to show up in person, and he didn't want Jia She to be too public.Therefore, it is a foregone conclusion to find someone to stand in front.If this person is not him, the emperor still has many choices.But he didn't. If he dared to be perfunctory, he might end up worse than the "corpses" at the scene.
Comparing people to people makes people mad.Thinking of Lin Ruhai's age, he is not confused, he is also a middle-aged handsome man, much better than Jia Amnesty, but why is there no such thing?
"Grandmother," Jia Lian was helplessly crying by the old lady, and she half swayed her arms around the old man, persuading: "Who dares to say that you are getting old, I see that you are young. Besides, Jinlian's sending a child may not necessarily be sending me. Son, if you and grandpa really can't wait, give me a little uncle. Let me tell you..."
Mr. Zhou slapped Jia Lian on the back of the head, pointed at him angrily, and stared, "What are you talking about? How old is I? Is he still alive? Will he be born? You bastard, don't talk nonsense anymore, pick one quickly Come out. Let me tell you a little bastard, if you don’t get me a great-grandson next year, believe it or not, I will drug you and find ten or eight women to rape you.”
Hearing these words, Jia Lian's expression turned awkward.The Jia family just came out with a Jia Yuanchun who wants to rape Yu Wenhu, and his grandfather is going to find a woman to rape him. Grandma dares to make fun of it, doesn't she? I don't think you need to wait until next year, old man, you can find medicine now."
Do you want to be so tough, grandma? !Jia Xiaolian hurriedly grabbed the old man who was about to leave, and put his arms around the old lady again, "Don't, grandson, I'm not joking, I'm serious with your elders. I asked someone to find a medicine, no matter how old you are, as long as you With this medicine, Baozhun can give birth to a fat boy..." As he spoke, Jia Lian felt like a fool.
But in fact, it was similar, the medicine was brought to him by the monk and the Taoist couple, and those two people were just talking about it.
"Why do I feel that Lian'er is fooling people?" Mr. Zhou held a small medicine bottle in his hand, watched his grandson disappear in a flash, and asked his wife uncertainly, "Tell me, is he Are you fooling us?"
The old lady rubbed her swollen eyebrows, and gave the old man a gouging look, "It's not you who drove the child into a hurry, and even made up this kind of magic medicine. He is still alive, and he is so old. If you can give birth, even if you can give birth, you don't feel ashamed."
The old man was not happy, and said with a stern face: "What's the shame? If we can really have a baby, I don't know how many people are envious and jealous. I'm just afraid that the kid's nonsense will make me happy for nothing. But it's not necessarily true, Lian'er doesn't know where she learned the skill, but the medicine she made is very effective. It's like last time, when the crown prince forced the palace..."
"Then... should I take this medicine or not?"
Chapter Contents Chapter [-] and [-]: I want the baby, you survive, I give birth to Yangzhou, Ruhai takes on errands
When Jia Lian mentioned that he might have a little uncle, Yu Wenhu was helping him brush his black hair, and almost pulled a lock off with his hands.He hurriedly rubbed it for Jia Lian, and asked in surprise, "Brother Lian, are you joking? Master Zhou is over seventy, and Mrs. Loyalty, the old lady is about that age..." The words in the words The meaning of unfinished business is obvious, at such an advanced age, can it still be born?
"What's the matter, can it be more difficult than you and me to give birth to one? Not only my grandparents, but also my father, I am also going to let him have another one. In this way, there will be people who inherit the blood of the two families, so I will give birth to a child." There's no need for us to make things difficult here." Jia Lian grinned at him, twisted Yu Wenhu's waist unhappily, and counted with his fingers.
Yu Wenhu knew that although he and Jia Lian were connected, the issue of bloodline heirs had always been between them.He's better, the royal family doesn't have many other things, but there are many sons, he can't have a group of brothers here.But brother Lian is different, he is the inheritance of Jia and Zhou's bloodline.Even if Yu Wenhu was reluctant, he couldn't say what would make Jia Lian die from him.
In the past, he looked at Jia Lian indifferently, and only secretly felt sad when he thought about it.Unexpectedly, although his brother Lian didn't say anything, he had already found a solution in private.Yu Wenhu was so happy that he couldn't control himself, he lowered his head and gnawed on Jia Lian's face, then happily wiped his hair, exclaiming that Lian's brother's hair is so easy to touch. . .
Jia Lian squinted lazily, and did not take advantage of being taken advantage of. When he was falling asleep, Yu Wenhu suddenly sighed: "People are always greedy. Sometimes I think, if there is a child , It's the union of your blood and mine, so how lovable it must be." After finishing speaking, he laughed at himself, obviously realizing that he was a fool.
"Then it's fine for us to have one." Jia Lian turned over, half-supported and half-pressed on top of Yu Wenhu, and gently stroked his lips with his fingers, "But, is it you who will give birth, or me? Think about it." , you go to the morning court with such a big belly, or I fight with someone with a big belly, isn’t that very interesting scene? Brother Wen, what do you think?”
As the saying goes, even if you have never eaten pork, you have seen pigs running. Although Lord Su has never been pregnant, nor has anyone been pregnant, he has indeed seen pregnant women.However, for the picture of himself or Jia Lian with a big belly, Lord Su said that he was incapable of imagining.Holding the person on his body with his head downcast, Yu Wenhu said angrily: "Why didn't the child jump out of the crack in the rock?!"
"I'm ready to raise my little uncle and little brother as sons in the future. Why don't you also ask the emperor to give you a little brother and raise him as your son." Jia Lian suggested rather heartlessly, I don't feel that I am a cheating father, uncle and younger brother.He rubbed against Yu Wenhu's neck, and the lust that had been released just now rose again, and the two of them fought for power again...
The old emperor and the great prince She, who had already set foot on the boundary of Yangzhou, sneezed at the same time, attracting the attention of the attendants.Of these two masters, one is more precious than the other, if they make the slightest mistake, these people will all suffer.Fortunately, the two of them only sneezed this one time and there was nothing else to say, which made Kun Lun, Li Qing and others feel relieved.
At this time, the old emperor was dressed like an ordinary scribe, and his face was modified a little, making it impossible for people to recognize him as the one sitting in the Golden Luan Hall.Jia Amnesty is still in his usual attire, no matter how rich and powerful he is, he looks like he can't wait to wear all the money on his body.Kunlun was the only one serving by his side who was acquainted with each other, and the rest of the Grand Prince Xi didn't know anyone, not even Li Qing.
According to His Majesty the Emperor, when Prince Zhongrong went to the south of the Yangtze River, he came to show off.And these few of them are here to support King Rongjun. He himself is a counselor and clearer, and the others are housekeepers and servants, so there is no need to give them face.The great prince Xie stared at the side, slandering in his heart.It sounds nice now, but when it comes time to settle the bill, whoever uses it will know!
Jia Amnesty went south all the way, although he didn't make much fanfare, but he didn't deliberately cover up his travel.He was on an official mission to the south, so it would be ugly to cover up his whereabouts furtively.Therefore, when the group of them arrived in Yangzhou, they still alarmed all officials on the ground in Jiangsu.Before disembarking, many officials were already waiting on the dock.The leader was Jia Amnesty's brother-in-law Lin Ruhai, the magistrate of Yangzhou.
Judging from this arrangement, the officials in Jiangnan also put their minds to it.Although Lin Ruhai's official position is not high, but he is related to Jia's family by marriage, and he is also the highest official in Yangzhou. If he leads the reception, it won't appear that the Jiangsu officials are too flattering, and it won't make Jia Amnesty feel coldly received.In the final analysis, the feelings of the Jiangnan officials towards the Grand Prince She is quite complicated.
He was originally an old dandy who was about to fall into the family. He had neither ability nor real power, so he was not worthy of their admiration at all.But they suddenly had shit luck and became the hottest county king with a different surname, how embarrassing they were.These people have worked hard in the local area for decades, and they are not as good as others for saving them at critical moments. How can people not envy and hate them.
"Your official, Lin Hai, pays homage to the King of Zhongrong County." Lin Ruhai stepped forward to greet him, and when he bowed halfway, he was supported by Jia Amnesty. Big brother." He was also testing, to see if this well-developed big brother floated up.Now it seems that although the taste is as rich as ever, people still stand on the ground.
Lin Ruhai exchanged greetings with Jia She, but his eyes turned a few times around the people accompanying him.The emperor was not in the palace, and it seemed that news had come that he was secretly going south with the king of Zhongrong County, so he naturally took a good look.Lin Ruhai was also from Tanhua back then, so naturally he had a face-to-face look, and he felt relieved after sweeping his eyes.Only the scribe was suspicious, but judging from his relationship with Jia She, he should be the emperor.
The old emperor had already prepared for this matter. He followed Jia Amnesty to Jiangnan, but arranged for another group of people to be led by Li Qing to go another way, in order to achieve the purpose of confusing people's eyes and ears.Judging from Lin Ruhai's reaction alone, it can be regarded as the achievement of the goal.Satisfied, the old emperor raised his eyes to look at Jia Enhou, only to see that this guy was smiling at Lin Ruhai so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, he didn't notice his scrutiny at all, and wished he could kick him.
"Brother brother, who is this?" Lin Ruhai asked casually after returning to the Lin Mansion where the host and guest were seated.This scribe looked about fifty, and seemed to be close to Jia She, and the small gestures between the two seemed very intimate.Just like now, Jia Amnesty was pulled by his sleeve and handed him his cup.This kind of interaction was obviously unusual, which convinced Lin Ruhai that this scribe was definitely not His Majesty the Emperor.
His Majesty She was robbed of the herbal tea that was about to reach his mouth. He felt aggrieved in his heart. Hearing Lin Ruhai's question, he said angrily, "This is Lian'er's tutor, Brother Li Hua. He heard that I was going to Jiangnan for business. , stubbornly insisted on following, saying that he had never seen the misty rain and prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River, so he must come and experience it, and Ruhai ignored him." After finishing speaking, he regretted it again, what would he do if he was scouted later? ?
The old emperor smiled casually at Lin Ruhai, then glanced at Jia She meaningfully, "Your Majesty Lin, you don't have to worry about it, I'm just having a meal with the prince, and I'll take a look at the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River along the way." After all, he didn't forget to teach this smug Jia Enhou a little lesson, and twisted his toes hard on the uneven 'ground', which made His Majesty grit his teeth.
Lin Ruhai's eyes were sharp, and he could clearly see the small private actions of the two of them, and he was even more convinced that this person could not be the emperor.How majestic and calm the emperor is, how could he make such a temper tantrum.Moreover, he always felt that the relationship between these two people was unusual, and in view of the prevailing south wind nowadays... Lin Tanhua's thoughts went wrong smoothly.
"Ruhai, I have an errand to go south this time, for the salt tax in the south of the Yangtze River. But you also know what I am like, so I am not a person for serious business. If the errand cannot be resolved smoothly, then I am not good. The only way is to fight and kill. You have been an official in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, and you have a lot of contacts on the ground, so you can give me some advice." Jia Amnesty's words were casual, but murderous.
Regardless of Lin Ruhai's own knowledge or what he learned from his wife Jia Min, the elder brother Jia She is a fool.But as soon as these words came out, Lin Ruhai scratched his head a little.He understood what Jia Amnesty meant, and it was to let him take the lead in informing the salt merchants, so that Jia Amnesty could successfully complete the business.The face project is done, and he doesn't care about the future, so hello me, hello everyone.
At the same time, he also made it clear that if there is a thorn in the side who doesn't give him the face of the county king, it's okay to say, whether to fight or kill depends on his mood.Hearing what Jia She said was full of confidence, one could tell how much he was favored, how much power he had in his hands, and how much he didn't mind stirring up wind and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.Lin Ruhai is a traditional literati, but he is quite envious of his uncle who can say such nonsense.
From the bottom of his heart, Lin Ruhai really doesn't want to get involved in the salt tax, that is a hornet's nest that cannot be poked, and anyone who gets involved will be a show.But Jia Amnesty had already said what he said, so he was not allowed to refute it, and stared at him with perfect eyes.He still understands his brother-in-law. Although he is a scholar, he is by no means an upright and self-confident master. There are no less fetishes in his belly than anyone else.
"It's my duty to help my little brother, so please don't worry, big brother." Lin Ruhai didn't refuse, and responded with a smile, "Mr. You mentioned it to me today, and asked me to introduce you, hoping to meet the king of Rongjun. Why don't you take a rest today, brother-in-law, and tomorrow I will hold a banquet to welcome you, and introduce a few friends by the way."
Jia Amnesty and the old emperor looked at each other, then nodded and patted Lin Ruhai on the shoulder, "That's fine, then I'll take care of Ruhai. Maybe I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and that little niece, I heard Lianer say it Is that Daiyu? Come on, show me quickly." While talking, he pulled Lin Ruhai back in a hurry, leaving the old emperor staring at his back that dared to run away.
Just now that foot was really painful, His Majesty She didn't have the guts to be alone with the old emperor for the time being.He just said that anything he was asked to do was empty words, and if he said something wrong, he was poisoned.
The author has something to say:
Chapter Contents Fifth and Seventh Meeting with Big Brother Jia Min Again Wrong Farewell Banquet Messy Lin Ruhai
Lin Daiyu is almost four years old this year, and she still has a small appearance that smiles when she sees anyone, and she is very cute because of her elf clarity.Therefore, even though Lin Ruhai had a son the year before last, it didn't reduce his love for his daughter.And he felt that the son was brought by this precious daughter, otherwise why there were no children for so many years, but when the daughter was born, the son followed.
Jia Amnesty had heard about it from Jia Lian a long time ago, and he also liked Lin Daiyu very much, so he gave her a generous gift and even hugged her with his own hands.Since Jia Min gave birth to Daiyu, her body has been going up and down, and after her aunt gave birth to a concubine, her body became weaker and weaker due to depression.Even if Lin Ruhai treats her as before, even better than before, Jia Min is still getting gloomy and sickly, and doesn't even care about her daughter.
Seeing the elder brother who is the king of the county now, Jia Min felt that there was a place to confide in his family's grievances.Regardless of the fact that the two brothers and sisters were not that close when they were at home, it was a pain to hold Jia She in the arms, crying so much that the prince She and Lin Ruhai were embarrassed.Especially Lin Ruhai, who simply didn't know what to say.What does it mean when a daughter-in-law hugs her eldest brother and cries like this?It's not that he treated his wife badly and made her wronged.
Looking at the younger sister who was crying freely in his arms, Jia She's brows twitched.Back then, when Jia Min was not married, the relationship between brother and sister was quite ordinary. When did it get so good that you could hug each other and cry?I remember that at that time, Jia Min always had time to talk about poetry with his second child, but he had nothing in common with his elder brother.When the two siblings met, they couldn't find anything to say after saying hello.
Moreover, she cried like this in front of her brother-in-law. How much did she suffer from her brother-in-law? How could Lin Ruhai feel so embarrassed?Taking a peek at my brother-in-law's stiff face, I simply don't know what to say about her.You don't intend to make peace with Lin Ruhai, if you don't give him face so clearly, you won't be at a disadvantage in the future, why bother?But after all, this is my sister who I haven't seen for many years, and I can't ruthlessly push her away. I am sorry for the embarrassment of the prince.
"Ruhai, this is your fault." Jia She rolled his eyes, turned his head to stare at Lin Ruhai, and scolded: "Since my sister married you, she has been away from home for many years and can't get close to her family. Look at how she misses her." You don't feel bad about the appearance of your relatives? Although you are in a local office, you don't have holidays, don't think the journey is far away, and you should take your sister back to Beijing more often."
After hearing Jia Amnesty's first words, Lin Ruhai's complexion was a little grim.He thought he was very good to Jia Min, but Jia Min repeatedly put on a wronged look in front of Jia's family and gave him eye drops, which made Lin Ruhai very unhappy.He knew what was in Jia Min's heart. Wasn't it the heir issue? Wasn't the son crawling out of her intestines?But she can't give birth by herself, so she still wants him to have an endless succession?
Just now, he thought that Jia She, the brother-in-law, blamed him without asking why, so he was suffocating.But after hearing it, I realized that this uncle is a sensible person.Lin Ruhai cast a grateful glance, and followed Jia Amnesty's words and continued, "Brother brother is right, it's all Ruhai's fault, he didn't consider Min'er's family, and he will definitely take Min'er more when he has the opportunity in the future." Go back to Beijing to visit your mother-in-law."
With such a knowledgeable brother-in-law, the great prince Xie expressed his relief, and by patting Lin Ruhai's shoulder, he took advantage of the opportunity to stuff Jia Min, who was stunned from crying, into his arms.Whose daughter-in-law will be taken away, don't throw yourself into your arms indiscriminately.Jia Amnesty spoke a few more homely words to the couple, and said that he was very tired from the journey and needed a good rest.Lin Ruhai hurriedly sent him to the guest house again, and ordered him to take good care of him before leaving.
"Woo..." After finally seeing off my brother-in-law, Jia Amnesty wiped the sweat from his forehead.This scholar is really difficult to deal with, every word and deed has a special meaning, so he has to think twice about every word, for fear of revealing something if he is not careful.However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he remembered that Lin Ruhai was hiding, but there was a more difficult old emperor around.The great prince pardoned instantly had the urge to cry.
Even if you don't want to, you still have to face reality.Unexpectedly, when he lingered to the old emperor's room, he just glanced at him indifferently and said "sit down" and there was no more to say.The old emperor leisurely flipped through the materials in his hands, but Jia She was sitting on pins and needles opposite him.Is this going to be left until the end to settle the final score, or is there some kind of big storm brewing? ? ?
"Tomorrow, Lin Hai will welcome you, so I won't participate. Since he wants to introduce those Yandao officials to you, you should make friends with them. Don't be afraid to collect money. Use your ability to eat, drink and play, and let them see the capital. The demeanor of an old dandy." It took a while for the old emperor to finish reading the stack of materials, then he raised his head and gave Jia She a sideways look, then frowned and said, "The smell of makeup and powder on his body is very unpleasant, wash it off soon."
Hearing the verbal order that he could take whatever he wanted, Jia She was delighted, even if the money didn't end up in his hands, he could still enjoy it, right?And don't have too many tricks when it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, he, Jia Enhou, was born as a professional dude.However, why does he smell like powder?Jia She raised his sleeve suspiciously and sniffed, his round eyes widened, there was no smell at all.
The old emperor didn't speak, just looked at him and smiled, then turned and went to discuss matters with the spies.As the emperor, he was definitely not alone. The spies had already leaked out long before he left Beijing.Now, it's time to report the results, and I'm waiting for an opportunity to catch them all.As for this stupefied Jia Enhou... let him continue to be stupefied.
For the next days of His Majesty She's in the south of the Yangtze River, it will be a life of luxury, dissolute, unrestrained, wanton...Hand cramps after collecting money, my son no longer has to worry about my prodigal family.Almost the entire Jiangnan officialdom and shopping malls know that the King of Zhongrong County is easy to talk to, as long as he has money and face so that he can do business, this master doesn't care about anything, and dares to agree to anything.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month later, Jia Amnesty received a lot of posts that day, and then reported them to the old emperor.The old emperor casually flipped through the pages and then glanced aside. He looked critically at Jia She, "How is Enhou doing these days? I heard that even the most famous flowers on the banks of the Qinhuai River came to you. Didn't it make Enhou you happy and forget to return?"
This person, if he has been playing crazy for a long time, it is easy to play wild with his heart.Jia Amnesty's current state is between wild and not wild.However, the old emperor's words made him wake up instantly, and he shook his head vigorously to show his loyalty, "How is it possible? Your majesty, I have always followed your orders and attracted the attention of that bastard, so I dare not slack off in the slightest." What the great prince She said was categorical.
The old emperor just saw that Jia Amnesty was too relaxed, on the contrary, he was busy and beat him because of his mental imbalance.But the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Obviously he was the emperor, the one who sent errands for others, but why did he get on the head of Marquis Jia Enhou, and everything was reversed?The old emperor was never someone who would wrong him, he had to let it out when he was angry, so...
Even though he knew that pouting his lips would hurt his image, His Majesty She couldn't take care of it.Anyone who is knocked on the head and scolded will not be happy.And he always felt that the emperor scolding him was like scolding his son, and he didn't want to have a father who was not a few years older than himself. . .But he didn't dare to protest, so he could only pout his mouth higher and higher until the old emperor couldn't help but look at him and laugh.
"Okay, I didn't use much effort. You look like a child because of your grievances. It's your errand, but I have done it for you. Are you unhappy if you say a few words?" The old emperor thought it was funny. , as if coaxing his son, he stretched out his hand to rub him, "The matter has been checked almost, so there is no need to pay attention to these posts. You have stayed at home Ansheng these two days, and I am still waiting for you to show your teeth and claws again. , recharge your batteries and go.”
That errand was not sent by you, His Majesty She dared not say it, only dared to mutter in his heart.Knowing that he is incompetent, and assigning him some incompetent errands, in the end, he has to work hard on his own, and it is simply his own fault.But after his forehead was rubbed by the dragon's paw, Jia She became inexplicably happy again, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
Two days later, the king of Zhongrong County, who had been lingering in Yangzhou for nearly a month, finally planned to leave.Since the two parties had reached a mutual aid agreement, Jiangnan officials and salt merchants held a grand farewell banquet for him, and the venue was chosen at the prestigious "National Beauty and Tianxiang Building".This time, not only the local officials in Yangzhou cheered, but also countless officials in the south of the Yangtze River came out in full force.It can be regarded as sending this master away!
Although His Highness She is very talkative in some respects, that is when there are countless gold and silver at the bottom.This pestle is like a bottomless pit in the south of the Yangtze River. Who can bear it after a long time? !As long as he can be sent away as soon as possible, even if the salt tax is increased by half at the end of the year, he will accept it.Anyway, this is just a drop in the bucket for them, and this year, they can bear it.
"Everyone, I would like to thank you for your kindness." The great prince She held the high position, raised his cup and said, "I am here in Yangzhou this time on a mission for the Holy One. Thank you all for your support. I am really grateful. The friends I have made during this trip are worthwhile trips. Come and come, please drink this cup to wish our friendship will last forever. Even if you are in the capital someday, I will not forget your friendship. Please! "
Jia Amnesty had attended quite a few banquets, many of which were larger than this scale, but it was the first time that he led the toast.In the past, he was always a participant, but this time he became the leader. His Highness She was a little complacent, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows to glance at the emperor beside him.The old emperor couldn't bear to look straight at him, so he kicked him under the table.
The atmosphere off the court was also very lively, everyone was very proud of the king of Zhongrong County, and drank all the wine in their glasses.As a result, the small medicine bottle, which Jia Lian called "pour in a cup", successfully made a contribution, and once again helped his cheap father pour a large piece. . .However, the last time was an accident, but this time it was premeditated.Under the personal guidance of His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty She once again staged a lore! ! !
A large area lay down, messing up Lin Ruhai.As one of the only three "living" people on the scene, Tanhualang rarely let go of his image, opened his mouth wide and stared at his uncle, the expression on his face could no longer be described as stiff.What does this mean?Uncle is crazy?
The author has something to say:,
Chapter Contents Chapter 1 Chapter 2: The errands are like a sea, it's really hard
In the Guose Tianxiang Building, the Great Prince She ran back and forth among the lying "corpses", without noticing the increasingly dismal expression of his brother-in-law.Lin Ruhai was a little desperate, let's see who is among those who have been brought down—Governor of Liangjiang, Cong first rank; Governor of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui provinces, Second rank; From the third grade...Tan Hualang's eyes were darkened, and he couldn't count.
Moreover, these people represent not only themselves, but also the intricate families and factions behind them.After offending so many influences, what on earth does his big uncle want to do? !There are also those salt merchants who control most of the salt industry in the Qing Dynasty. It can be said that they collectively stomp their feet in the south of the Yangtze River, and they can shake the Forbidden City in the capital.Now that the eldest brother has put everyone down, what do you want to do next?
In fact, these are not important to Lin Ruhai, the only important thing is why Jia She didn't bring him down together, did he want him to be an accomplice?Oh no!Tanhualang managed to calm down, and his mind began to quickly calculate how to get himself out.Although he and Jia She are relatives by marriage, they are by no means so close that they share the burden of misfortune.
After calming down a little, Lin Ruhai felt the gaze from beside him.But when he looked up, he saw that Mr. Li, Jia Lian's teacher, whom Jia She said was shaking his fan with a smile, followed Jia She with his eyes.Faced with such a scene, he can remain calm. Either this person is too deep in the city, or he is a participant in this matter.Lin Ruhai's heart tightened, and he was a little uncertain about today's affairs.No, there must be something he didn't expect.
Although there was news from the capital that the emperor was not in the palace and went to the south of the Yangtze River, they have not been able to find out the whereabouts of the emperor for such a long time.Could it be that Jia Amnesty did all this in accordance with the emperor's will?Lin Ruhai pondered for a while, then shook his head secretly.Today's holy majesty has always been kind and forgiving to officials. If it wasn't for the heinous people, he would not kill him, let alone such a large area.
That is to say, all of this is Jia She's own assertion?But it's not right, he still has some understanding of Jia Amnesty, this man is not a courageous person, he would never dare to do such a lawless thing.So what's going on? ? ?Tanhualang felt his head throbbing and throbbing, he couldn't see the appearance of the people with colorful eyes, and there were crackling lightning and thunder in his ears...
"Your Majesty, come and see, come and see." Jia She jumped up to a fat salt merchant, pulled his hair, and greeted him very cheerfully, "Let me tell you, this guy is the one who has the most tricks." Yes, there are people who are richer than him, but he is the most particular about playing. I heard that last year, the salt merchants threw gold leaves into the Qianjiang tide, and this person was the first to do it, which caused many salt merchants to follow suit."
Jia She poked the salt merchant's face like a pig's head, then jumped back to the old emperor's side, and whispered mysteriously: "I also heard that they are going to have a night banquet at the Slender West Lake after a while, and all lights will be illuminated with night pearls." Also, there is a store in Lian'er's shop in Jinling, and this guy dares to spend money in front of Lian'er, wanting to buy shares." Actually, the complaint later is the key point! ?
This is the first time the old emperor heard about it, and the corners of his mouth jokingly curled up, "Then he kicked the iron plate. That son of yours looks gentle and gentle, but in fact he has a bad stomach, and it's even worse when he tosses people." He is ruthless and ruthless, but he accepts some of them." These words are short of giving Jia Lian the title of "gentle scum", but they can make people feel the preference.
"That's right, he doesn't even look at who is standing behind that shop." The great prince She directly took it as a compliment to his son, and with a big face, he was a little smug, and said: "It's still Lian'er who has a good reputation. After I opened it, I gave you three ingredients. I thought it was too much at the time, but now it seems that it is worth the money. Your Majesty, you are really awesome!" I learned this word from my son.
Hearing this, the smile on the old emperor's face froze slightly, and he closed his fan with a 'slap' and tapped it on the forehead, "I don't think this is a compliment! You father and son are pulling my tiger skin as a flag, and you still have it?" Dare to feel sorry for such a small person. Jia Enhou, do you think I have been too indulgent to you recently?" This guy dares to say anything, and he is not afraid of people hearing him, really.
Lin Ruhai couldn't be shocked that the uncle was 'flirting' with a man, he was completely immersed in the fact - the emperor, Jia She just called that man the emperor... what does this mean?No matter how sluggish his brain was, Lin Tanhua understood one thing: No matter how lame his uncle is, he still cannot recognize the emperor by mistake.That means that it was him who was lame, and the emperor couldn't recognize him face to face.
With a plop, Lin Ruhai either knelt down or fell down, and kowtowed sadly, "Chen Lin Hai kowtows to the emperor." What is this all about!Lin Ruhai is now in chaos, completely in chaos.Kneeling there, his lips opened and closed for a long time, but he couldn't say anything.He didn't know what to say, welcome the emperor?Please forgive the emperor?Everything is wrong.
"Lin Aiqing, please get up." The old emperor pulled Jia She behind him and told him to sit obediently, then he narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly: "I came here uninvited, and I would like to thank Lin Aiqing for her hospitality over the past few days. Enhou came to conduct a thorough investigation of the Jiangnan salt administration, and received a lot of help from Aiqing, which is really comforting to me. Aiqing has been an official in Jiangnan for a long time, why don't you come here to assist Enhou in dealing with the aftermath?"
Before coming, the old emperor planned to use the thunder method himself.But after meeting Lin Ruhai this time, he changed his mind.He worked hard for Jia Enhou, that's because he wanted to, just to make himself happy.But who is he?It's the emperor!There are so many people down there, who can't be assigned to offend people, why do you have to do it yourself.There are so many people who want to climb up, and they are not afraid of offending others.
Now, he is optimistic about this Lin Ruhai.A bright future has already been paved, it depends on how Tanhualang chooses.He believed that the descendants of the Lin family in Gusu would not be fools who chose the wrong side.
This... is really not good.Lin Ruhai didn't dare to say what he said in his heart, and he replied with tears of gratitude on his face: "I obey the order. It is a great honor for me to assist the king of Zhongrong County in his errands. Please rest assured, the emperor, I will definitely work hard to serve the court and share the worries of the emperor. , to share the worries of Zhongrong County King." Lin Ruhai is very skilled in Biao Zhongxin's job, and he spoke impassionedly.
But in fact, he had already fainted several times in his heart.Lin Ruhai is a smart person, the old emperor's words turned around in his mind twice, and he could naturally hear the meaning behind the words.Jia She is his elder brother-in-law, and he has lived in his house since he came to Jiangnan and never returned to his hometown. He introduced countless officials and salt merchants to know Jia She, and today's banquet was also invited by his post...
Jia Shen's reputation as a playboy is well-known, and during this period of time he was very happy in Jiangnan, he was relentless in collecting money, and he didn't do well in things without brains... This kind of scheme schemed against the entire Jiangnan officialdom and salt merchants Obviously, this game is not something Jia She can handle.Who was behind the plot?Lin Ruhai now knows that this is the current emperor himself.
But... others don't know! ! !
Lin Ruhai didn't even need to think about it, he knew that these people lying down and the relatives and forces behind them would definitely believe that someone was behind the scenes.And that person will most likely be identified as Lin Ruhai!As soon as he thought of this, Tanhualang wanted to die.This time, even if he can escape unscathed, he may struggle in the officialdom in the future. I don't know how many people have tripped him up.
But Lin Ruhai also knew that he had no choice.The emperor obviously didn't want to show up in person, and he didn't want Jia She to be too public.Therefore, it is a foregone conclusion to find someone to stand in front.If this person is not him, the emperor still has many choices.But he didn't. If he dared to be perfunctory, he might end up worse than the "corpses" at the scene.
Comparing people to people makes people mad.Thinking of Lin Ruhai's age, he is not confused, he is also a middle-aged handsome man, much better than Jia Amnesty, but why is there no such thing?
