The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Speaking of why so many aristocratic families owe the treasury silver taels, then we have to mention the Emperor Taizong of this dynasty.Speaking of this emperor, many people will be embarrassed - even the most eloquent historians can't do enough to praise this emperor, because he is a real rogue emperor.

When Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, the court was still unstable, and bandits along the coast were in chaos. Beidi had been eager to try to go to the Central Plains, even Tibet as far away, thinking of making a fortune, let alone returning to the old enemy Qianxue Country .At that time, there were internal and external troubles, and as a result, there was a natural disaster—the Yellow River flooded.In such a situation, Emperor Taizong accepted the clan women represented by Princess Hehui as righteous daughters, and asked them to go out to make marriages at any time, while rectifying the army and preparing to resist foreign enemies.

But the household department came out crying poor.They should also cry, this year's harvest, let alone war, even if the world is peaceful, they have to live on tight.

Emperor Taizong slapped his thigh, this battle is a good opportunity to show our country's prestige, if it is weak at this moment, it will not be able to stand up in the future!Must fight!He was not stingy, but those who made meritorious deeds on the battlefield were greatly rewarded, and there were quite a few families who were conferred dukes and marquises, which made the generals desperate.

But he only conferred a title, not a fief.

Everyone says Qianhuhou and Wanhuhou, which means that when the emperor conferred on you, he gave you as many people as many fields, but Emperor Taizong was very good, he only conferred titles, you want land and manpower, it is very good, come here Let him buy it.There is no need to give it to him immediately, since everyone is not rich now, you can owe it first.Illegal private loans are three-point interest, and banks in the capital are one-point interest, and the emperor only charges one-tenth of interest, which is very generous.

This is the reason why this emperor was nicknamed the rogue emperor by later generations, and it is also the place where he is most criticized.

Taizong later became addicted to selling things.You want face, okay, I have a free job here, and I am looking for a few young and handsome children to support the show, bring some money, this job is yours.Do you want to be a royal merchant?That's even simpler. Merchants and merchants have plenty of money, so donate a little to the treasury. I will send the Ministry of Internal Affairs to check your goods.

This move is indeed very rogue.Taizong probably felt the same way, so after the war subsided, he didn't urge people to pay back the money, let alone interest.The emperor is a face-saving person, so naturally he won't mention it, so this matter can be considered as a fool.

But at the moment when Lin Mo said that he wanted to check the account book, he had to surprise Liu Xiangru: "You don't want your reputation anymore?"

"How can my reputation be damaged?" Lin Mo smiled, "This is what Emperor Taizong ordered."

That night, Lin Mo wrote a letter, asking for forgiveness and forgiveness. If there are gaps in the accounts, the officials of the provinces will be given a chance to make up for it. If they can fill in, if they can't, they will be reissued.If it is not possible, it is not impossible to follow the example of Emperor Taizong.

Shang Yunzhi.

This made many officials and butchers breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they thought of the silver taels owed to the treasury by their families, and they felt a headache.For example, Wang Ziteng, who came back from thousands of miles to report on his duties, has to worry about whether there are any mistakes in his account books when he was on duty, and at the same time, he is grateful that the Wang family has paid back the accounts of those years. At the same time, he is worried that his relationship with the Jia family is so bad Well, I heard that Lin Mo didn't get along with the Jia family. The Jia Yucun recommended by the Jia family was found out by him. Would he attack him too... big.

After much deliberation, he decided to meet Lin Mo.

His wife, Shi Shi, saw him looking like an enemy, and said with a smile: "What are you in such a hurry for? After all, you are an elder. Feng girl said, this brother of the Lin family is also very polite, she can give birth to a brother, thanks to I got the prescription given by Brother Lin. I had a quarrel with the Rongguo Mansion at the beginning, but the old lady did not behave properly. He and Lianer Feng girl got on well. Wei Geer was full moon, and he even gave me a condom. Book, although girl Feng didn't see anything, but her second master was very envious, saying it was an ancient book marked by Zhu Yuanhui."

Wang Ziteng sighed: "It doesn't matter whether he is a real or a fake one. If he can be the servant of the household department at this age and do such a vigorous job, you can't underestimate him. You also know that the grand master of the Jia family did it." No? Why don't you think that my aunt from the Wang family is also contributing to the flames here. Lin Mo is now on the cusp of the storm, no matter what, there is no harm in inquiring about it."

Many people wanted to invite Lin Mo to drink. Even Wang Ziteng had to wait in line, but it was convenient for him. His wife, Shi Shi, made an appointment with Sister Feng, who came back to see her uncle and aunt, and went to Jingyuan Hou together. Mansion to visit Jing Xian.Daiyu also came to see Sister Feng when she was pregnant, and now it is considered polite to reciprocate.

Now that Lin Mo saw the names of Sister Feng and Jia Lian, he thought of Liu Xianglian's luscious marriage. Immediately, she felt sympathy for Sister Feng, and even hugged Jia Wei, and gave him a row of golden pickles on the same plate of dim sum. Xian said: "Take Xiu Lang out and play with my little brother."

When Shen Xiulang was first born, Jing Xian was startled, her whole body was red and wrinkled, like a little monkey, she heard Yun Xi's heartbreaking when she gave birth, and saw that she was born so ugly The child was quite disappointed, after only raising it for a few days, the child gradually became white and tender and cute. She took care of it by herself for a few days, and she became more and more reluctant to let go, and she also looked forward to the child in her womb.

Daiyu also accompanied Jingxian to take care of Xiulang these days, and now she was holding Jia Wei, and she was also smiling. Shi was a little embarrassed. She heard that Lin Mo had adopted a adopted son, but she didn't expect it to be so formal. Lord Ningjun personally raised him, so he prepared a meeting ceremony according to the example of a concubine. Compared with what Jingxian prepared for Jia Wei, it was not enough.

Fortunately, Jingxian didn't mind, she coaxed the two children to play for a while, then under Daiyu's persuasion, she leaned against the head of the bed, asked the two little girls to beat their backs behind them, and stretched out her hand to pull Daiyu onto the couch Leaning on it, he said to Shi: "Wang's wife doesn't come here often. I heard that Shibo has been transferred back to Beijing? I will come and walk around more often in the future. My sister and my second sister-in-law are very talkative. The two of us are at home. It's also boring at times."

Shi smiled and said: "Of course, don't think I'm long-winded and impolite!"

Daiyu pursed her lips and said, "It's no wonder Second Sister-in-law has such a sharp mouth, so it's learned from her family."

Sister Feng said: "Hey, look at this girl, sister-in-law has been asking for cheap from you all these years? She also said that I have a good mouth, but I have been wronged to death. Usually when your sister-in-law is here, I can't say no to you, but now My aunt is here too." She said to Shi again, "Auntie, look quickly, your niece is being bullied."

Shi Shi, Daiyu and others laughed together, and even the maids below couldn't help snickering.

Jingxian looked at Sister Feng, but she was a little pitiful.Lin Mo didn't hide anything from her except about the court affairs, so she also knew about Jia Lian's marriage proposal to Liu Xianglian.You said it well, the Second Master Lian of the Rongguo Mansion was outside, and this time he came back to attend his uncle's funeral, how could he think of marrying his sister-in-law's step-sister?And a girl from the boudoir family, he said something bad, said "excellent beauty", if you say that he and this girl are innocent, who will believe it?

She really didn't wrong Jia Lian when she thought about it. Jia Lian was diligent and diligent at the beginning when he took office outside. It's just that starting from his immediate boss, he was a bit anticlimactic in his work. He was a son of a family, a donated official, and a pile of money. What good errands can there be for those who come out?After a few days of doing it, I felt bored. In addition, Sister Feng was not around, so he was relaxed and relaxed every day. There were a few beautiful women in the countryside, and he didn't dislike them. In Sister Feng's words, "It was originally All the dirty and smelly things are taken home", now back in the capital, and I have a funeral for my uncle, and Sister Feng is watching, it is boring, but fortunately my son is cute, and I can play for a while if I hold it and amuse myself.

But within a few days, Jia Rong introduced her to meet two of Youshi's sisters, who were really good-looking, with a graceful figure.Although the third sister has a better complexion, she is really pungent and spends money like water. When she speaks, she can make these old men blush with shame, but the second sister is gentle and obedient, careful and considerate. Jia Lian was used.He actually took out his private house and set up a small courtyard for her alone, and came to worship the heaven and earth with her in plain clothes, burned the paper horse, and called it grandma.

Now Sister Feng doesn't know that Fang is so free and easy, if she knows, she doesn't know how to be sad.

Jingxian sighed in her heart, and she didn't say much, she put her ears back, and Shi Shi had already talked about the hardships of Wang Ziteng's journey back: "I don't know why, but I ran into water robbers and rushed up When he got on the boat, he was so scared that he fell ill. Fortunately, Feng girl reminded him and asked him to ask the magistrate to borrow some guards from him, otherwise, he would really die and come back."

Jingxian then said calmly: "Shiboji people have their own aura, and if they encounter disaster this time, there will be future blessings."

Shi shi breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Mo, have you been working hard lately?"

"It's been hard work." Jingxian said, listening to Shi's rambling about how to keep healthy, it was quite useful, but before she left, she was about to give it away, but she asked Shi and Sister Feng to stop her.

"How is it?" Lin Mo asked.

Jingxian said: "Knowing how to advance and retreat is a rare thing. No wonder Wang Ziteng does not retreat but advances instead."

Lin Mo gave her a strange look: "I want to ask, is there anything wrong with Lian's second sister-in-law?"

Jingxian looked at him suspiciously: "Master has become more and more boring recently."

"Heh, what are you talking about if you don't talk about Prince Teng's appointment?"

"Didn't the emperor want to test the children of the school's aristocratic family recently? It is said that their children also want to try their skills, but it is really useless."

Regardless of the reason for the emperor's examination of the children of the family, it is a rare opportunity for these rich and idle people.These people used to be idle, ignorant and incompetent. Of course, there are also those who want to advance in official career and economics, but they are pampered and spoiled, and they are not as willing to endure hardships as children from poor families.It doesn't matter whether you donate to an official, or rely on family connections, you can always get a position, but most of the time you spend your whole life on it without making any progress, and you just want to say something nice.Now is such a great opportunity, I can't help but thank the emperor for his great grace, His Majesty's wisdom.

It turns out that there were many affairs before the year, and this matter will have to be delayed until the next year, but Concubine Hua's body in the palace is gradually failing. Son, the emperor doesn't like it. There are many people in the palace who are hurting people. How can I get better?On the contrary, the queen often goes to explore for her reputation of being virtuous and virtuous, but how dare she show off in front of the queen now?Every time I have to change clothes to see the queen, I come and go again and again, but every time it is more powerful than the last time.The queen told the emperor that Concubine Hua could not survive the winter, and now she is just hanging.

Even though Concubine Hua was wrong in a thousand ways, the Supreme Emperor still cared about the past friendship and refused to remove her title of Grand Concubine.This imperial concubine is different from a noble concubine. If she is gone, the princes from concubines will have to honor her as a national funeral.I'm afraid this matter will have to be dragged on, the emperor is very unwilling to let those children go on doing nothing, not to mention the princesses are indeed not young,

Such a great opportunity, but the Jia family has no way to get a share of it - their family is now keeping their filial piety.Baoyu thought he was saved, and he never loved these things.But Jia Zheng was very worried, and said to Jia's mother: "Baoyu is going to school intermittently now. It is a pity that she is counting on the scientific examination, but it is a great opportunity now."

But Jia's mother has an idea: "When the former Concubine Nan'an asked people to go to offer incense, she saw the mandarin duck and said a few words. This matter is up to the empress to make up her mind."

Jia Zheng asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty is doing her filial piety in front of the old sage now. She said she was brave in the paddock that day. The old sage praised her very much, saying that she looks like a prince." Jia Mu wiped her tears, "Now, I can only rely on my mother Let's deal with our family." The uncle just died, and the nephew wanted to be an official, so it's not good to leave other relationships.

Although Jia Zheng felt that it was inappropriate to do so, but now that his family was like this, he could only give it a go.If Baoyu can get the emperor's blue eyes this time, it is really a blessing.Even if you can't, Baoyu has a bit of crooked talent, so it's a good thing to show your head.

Baoyu was glad at first, but now when he heard that he still had to go, not only that, but the master also wanted to inspect his and Lan'er's homework in person, suddenly it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and he couldn't stay out of his mind.

Some people were disappointed, while others were jealous. Aunt Zhao was in the room, almost tore the veil to pieces.
