The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Naturally, the king of Wei did not embarrass Lin Mo for no reason. His father-in-law was originally from Liangdao in Hunan. It's easy to say, as long as the family members pay the bills, they can be taken back, but the official is lost, and even King Wei's face is completely lost.At first, when Lin Mo first started to investigate, he looked at it gloatingly, thinking that the third child would fight for power, which would be an opportunity for him, and some people who were too arrogant should be cleared up, just to leave a few vacancies, and he might You can also get a share of the pie and install a few of your own cronies.Who knew that Lin Mo was the most arrogant, even the father-in-law who was the prince of the dynasty dared to do something, so he was not afraid at all.

Lin Mo said today that it wasn't an accident, but he didn't take it seriously, and drank his own wine with a smile, but tightly squeezed his left hand hidden in the wide sleeve of his toga.What can't be broken can't be built, he told himself, from the moment he embarked on this road, he had to understand that this day would come sooner or later.He is not water soluble, no one will offend?That's impossible.That's not what he asked for.

Zhao Wang was a little uncomfortable: "The fourth child is confused."

Lin Mo smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. Didn't the prince criticize my doggerel just now?" Wang Zhao said: "Your poems are very vulgar, and any country woman can make a piece for this king. First of all! Fortunately, the imperial examination only tests the Four Books and Five Classics, otherwise, if you talk about it, your article will have to be like that!"

Shui Fu heard it and laughed: "I'm afraid not. If we talk about articles, let's not mention the wording first. The key is the word 'meaning'. Linhou's articles are neat and tidy. The rare thing is that they are not full of rhetoric. It is full of lofty ambitions, and when people read it, they only feel that it is bold and generous, which cannot be compared with those gorgeous and elegant poems."

Zhao Wang didn't speak, and Lin Mo didn't become particularly happy because of this sentence, but he still cupped his hands: "Thank you, King Qin."

Shui Fu raised his wine glass, but Lin Mo didn't refuse, and happily also raised the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.Shui Fu couldn't help saying: "Have fun!" He also drank it all, and then said, "It's been a long time since I saw Tai Yin drinking so unscrupulously, are you happy today?"

"I figured out some things." Lin Mo said, "If it's mine, it will be mine. If it's not mine, it's useless if I ask for it. It's better to be more comfortable." Shui Fu's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, Where was it stimulated?Or did someone else say something?Unknowingly he laughed and said, "It's up to people to plan things, and what's yours, can you know?"

Lin Mo stared straight at him: "I am honored by the emperor's favor, and I have served as the Minister of the Household Department in my 20s. I have been one of the first since this dynasty. Naturally, I will do what I can do about the Household Department. If I can't do it, I will spend my life." I have to do it when I go up. What about other things—it’s better to drink a little wine and listen to a little song, it’s much more comfortable than thinking about it.”

"Happy!" Zhao Wang also said hello.

Shui floated in his heart and sighed.

Lin Mo drank it to his heart's content, and inadvertently drank it to the top, and said goodbye to King Zhao with a smile.Seeing that he had drunk too much, King Zhao asked him to stay overnight: "What are you doing in a hurry to go home? I don't have a place for you to sleep here?"

Lin Mo said: "It's true that there are only female relatives and two children in the family, so I can't worry about it."

"Don't you have them to serve you after you go back?" Zhao Wang said coolly, "Isn't it just waiting to talk to the third child? Well, I won't stop you either."

Lin Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm in a hurry to talk to the third highness? The second highness is really making a big joke. I'm going home now, and the third highness is still drinking here. What can I say? What can't we say in the household department? Do you want to come to His Highness's mansion specially together, and then go back and forth to talk? Is this intended not to be heard by others, or is it impatient to let others know?"

Zhao Wang smiled and said: "I can't tell you, anyway, you insist on going back." After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and called someone, "Send Lin Hou back properly, if something goes wrong, you are the only one to ask." After finishing speaking, he sneered again . "Tai Yin left just like that?"

"You'll be punished with wine." Lin Mo agreed with a smile, and didn't want others to help him. He poured one by himself and was about to drink it all up. Qi San said anxiously, "Master, you've already drunk too much—" But the voice said In the end, Lin Mo had already drank cleanly, and was about to pour down a glass, Zhao Wang waved his hand and said, "Come on, you drank too much, cousin Jing Ning got angry, I'm going to make a fuss, go to your house. "

"Farewell." After Lin Mo finished speaking, he was polite to a few people, and he really asked Qi San to help him into the carriage. He was rarely greedy, and he hadn't gotten used to it for a while. He felt his face and body were hot. , and asked Qi San to open the curtain a little more, Qi San said: "Master, be careful not to catch a cold."

Lin Mo said: "Where is the heart cold."

Qi San couldn't quite understand.He followed Lin Mo after Shen Bao died. He was born as a martial artist, and he is very good at boxing and kicking. Bai Shiyue specially asked him to protect Lin Mo. He also said that he was a rough man, so he couldn't listen to it. Knowing what the scholar said, he just listened carefully to Master Bai's words and waited carefully: "How about I give you a fan? Don't blow the cold wind, this day is not a joke."

"No need." Lin Mo didn't like troublesome personality, stretched out his hand to loosen his collar, and said, "There will be no peace after the next year."

Qi San was silent for a while, before he said in a daze: "This year's snow is heavy, next year's harvest should not be bad?"

Lin Mo was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly smiled.No matter what the situation in the court is, in the hearts of ordinary people, only what will be the harvest next year.The bloody storm above the temple, open and secret struggles, are too far away for them.How much rice can be harvested in a year, how many taels of peanuts can be harvested, whether the beautiful girl next door can wait until I have collected the dowry, the wall of Old Man Wang's house has half a foot on my site... They are thinking about these things.

As for those conspiracies and tricks, tricky calculations, just let them take care of them.

Lin Mo said: "Yes, next year's harvest will be good. Everything will be fine."

After returning home, Lin Mo staggered past when she heard that Grandma was looking for her. Sure enough, Jingxian frowned and said, "Why did you drink so much? I told you earlier, King Zhao is an unforgiving person at banquets. My elder brother was in the capital before, and when he went back to Zhao Wang’s mansion, he would come back lying down, so you still go.”

"How can I quit all the banquets, and there are not so many excuses." Lin Mo took a sip of the hangover soup, "How are you today? Do you have leg cramps?"

"What can I have? It's still the same as usual." Most of the first babies were tossed, but Jingxian's baby was fine, she didn't vomit too much, and her legs were less cramped, which made her feel a lot easier, "You Are there two people in the room?"

It was Nongyun who reminded her that when a wife is pregnant, it is considered a customary thing to put two maids in her husband's room.Jingxian cares about her virtuous reputation, so she naturally wants to ask.But she also knew in her heart that Lin Moyuan didn't think too much about these things, let alone, he didn't care about Shui Rong...

Sure enough, the husband said: "Why are you so troublesome? I seem to be in such a hurry? What's more, a good maid, if you change her identity, she will act differently from usual. I'm not very good at dealing with these things, so you can save yourself a little time." Well. Let me tell you, there are some girls in our family who have reached their age. Whether it’s good to be a servant, or to ask for a contract to go out, it’s time to start doing it when the spring comes. I asked Lin He to go out and see if there are any. Suitable little girl, he picked a few for me, and you can see if you like any of them later."

"Didn't you send a batch a while ago? You sent it back, don't you like it?" Jing Xian asked.

Lin Mo said with a smile: "A few days ago, they were all official women whose families had troubles. These people were spoiled and raised. They look beautiful and have a bit of literary talent. Do I want these people to work or to be raised by young ladies?" I expect them to serve others, I have to spend time training them, and they are not correct, even if they suffer a little bit, they will be wronged to the sky. If you want to buy some from ordinary people, you can give her a monthly payment and she will be satisfied, and she has a good temper. How about just looking good for food? Second, these people who went in this year..." He coughed dryly.

Jingxian didn't know much about the court affairs, and she didn't like to inquire about it, but even she, who was pregnant and living deep at home, had heard that her husband had gained the nickname "Ghost Seeing Sorrow" this year. There are really a lot of people.She loves those women with outstanding talents and talents, and she also wants to give them a stable life, but Lin Mo is not willing.

It is indeed not very convenient.

She said: "Since this is the case, let Lin He take full responsibility. When someone buys it back, just pick a few from each yard. On Yu'er's side, the big girls in her room, I think they are all going to be dowry , the little girls have to pick and choose."

"Yu'er has gone out, you may be lonely, why not give birth to a daughter?" Lin Mo laughed.

"Rong's house is only a few steps away. How dare Jiaer not allow her to go back to her mother's house? I have nothing to be lonely. I want to make a baby kiss with Sister Zhou earlier." Jingxian really wanted to have a baby For a boy, there is a guarantee first, although Xiu Lang is kissed, it is not his own.

Lin Mo just smiled casually and stopped talking.

"Yu'er came to me today and said that some of the paddy fields left by her father were the sacrifice fields of the Lin family's ancestral graves, and they had to stay in the Lin family. She gave me the list, and I thought it was the same, but I needed to find some other Zhuangzi to fill in. Give it to her." Jing Xian said again.

At first, Lin Mo only thought about giving all of Lin Hai's family property to Daiyu as a dowry - he shouldn't have taken it, but he almost missed it, nodded and said: "You are right, my name is Lin Hai tomorrow. You can go out and take stock of the Zhuangzi at home." Thinking again, "Is Yu'er starting to prepare the dowry?"

"She is a really romantic and generous person." Jing Xian praised, "At first she cared too much about gossip, but now she looks magnanimous. She has a bit of celebrity demeanor."

"How can you praise the girl's family so much." Lin Mo said so, feeling a little smug in his heart, "Gossip is something that you only care about if you are uneasy. I am strong enough. I have the life of an ant in my hand, and I will Do you care what these little ants say about you? Besides, your younger sister was raised by you."

It was very helpful for Jingxian to hear it: "It's getting late, I'm going to rest on my own. Uncle, do it yourself—the Beijing Palace sent a note, and I asked someone to throw it out of your study."

Lin Mo smiled and said, "I'll wait until you fall asleep before leaving."

He already drank too much wine, he was drowsy when he watched Jingxian fall asleep, but he couldn't bear to disturb his sleeping wife, so he asked Xi'er to make a bed for him to spend the night.

He didn't have time to read the water-soluble note until breakfast the next day.

"The king of Yan entrusted the northern part of Jibei, and the king of Qin was in charge of the punishment department."

He froze for a moment.

The emperor finally made a choice.

The choice turned out to be his dignity, not King Yan's face.

He squeezed the note written in secret language, kneaded it into a ball, and threw it out without fear of being seen.What should I say about the Ninth Five-Year Supreme... Kneeling to thank the emperor for his kindness or mighty?He smiled wryly, and felt it was unfair for Shen Bao, it was obviously a life, but the murderer was only demoted to the fief, which made him feel that it was already an explanation.

People and people's lives are different after all.

This world is only fair to those who sit at the top.
