The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

The household department is actually not too busy today, but Lin Mo asked Cao Shangshu for leave after finishing the distribution of red eggs.Since he got Chen Yejun, he was like a fish in water. Xiao Chen was careful and not rigid, and he worked very well in the household department.What's rare is that even though Lin Mo recruited him, other people listened to what he said - but the son of the Chen family, there are really not many people who call him an angel.After working together for a few years, Cao Shangshu has figured out Lin Mo's temperament. If he is obsessed with something, he will not give up an inch of land, even if he spends every day in the account book without sleep, he is willing to give up. There may be no flaws in the account books handed in. What this person is best at is to find those flaws that others will never notice, and put his opponents in a position of eternal doom.But if the matter is not urgent, or if he thinks it is necessary to let someone go, he can do the job of saving face.For example, at this time, if a daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, she didn't have the heart to face them and a group of elders in the yamen. Naturally, she went home and greeted her lovely wife and young son.But Lin Mo asked for leave, but Cao Shangshu only felt that he was not very interested in the current grain tax reform.

This is really strange.

Headed by the emperor Fang Jian, Wang Ziteng, Ma Yue and others are planning to pick a place to pilot the food tax reform. After all, Cao Shangshu is also the person who is going to be called Cao Xiang, and he was also dragged to sign it-this is going to turn around How to implement it still needs the help of the Ministry of Finance.Cao Shangshu told Cao Shangshu about this reform, but it also meant that Fang Jian and the others would last forever. The common people were divided according to population and labor force. If the family was in trouble, their taxes would be reduced. Look, it is a real policy of benefiting the people.

Lin Mo didn't seem interested at all.

"It's too busy, isn't it? Really, if there is no strong man in the family and can't live a life, can you have an acre or two of land in your hands? Reducing their grain tax, isn't it cheaper for the landlords. Divide the farmers into rich and poor In a word, they said it lightly, when the time comes, the people below will be able to earn a lot of money, and the taxes will be reduced and the food will be exempted. I don’t know which ones are cheaper and will be given as gifts! Besides, the poor Free food, this is something that local officials have done for hundreds of years, and parents and officials with conscience will do it naturally, and those who have no conscience—oh, they reminded them instead!" Lin Mo complained, "What a naive prime minister Fortunately, they are not qualified to ask why they don't eat minced meat!"

Under the banner of seeing his future son-in-law, Shui Rong also followed him back to Jingyuan Hou's Mansion. He lay indifferently in the carriage, and did not share Lin Mo's righteous indignation - as a member of the wealthy family, he was not as worried as Lin Mo The kindness of the country and the people is not ashamed.He just said casually: "Good Lord, you are so fierce in front of your son."

In fact, Lin Mo's face is there, even if he really frowns, people who don't know it will look soft, but those who know his thunderous methods still have to be intimidated for a while.But after hearing his words, Lin Mo really rubbed his face.

"Hou Ye's fatherly heart is touching." Seeing this, Shui Rong teased.

"You're acting weird today." Lin Mo sighed, "I just think you won't get angry with me because of that Highness anymore?"

Shui Rong glanced at him: "You were very happy when you got a son-in-law yesterday? No matter what people say, a son-in-law, eldest son, and youngest son, these sons are different from other sons to a man. No one can be exempt. ’ He hid a word.

Neither can the emperor.

At the beginning, what the big guy had in mind was that the current seven sons, King Han, King Qin, and King Qi were obviously different from the others. If it weren't for the powerful family of King Chu, no one would think that he could compete for that seat.As for the preference for the youngest son Lin Mo, isn't it enough to explain the emperor's preference?

Shui Fu is the eldest son.He was sent to the Ministry of Households at the beginning, and then to the Ministry of Punishments, both of which are the foundation of the country, not to mention, the title of King Qin—this title is really not given casually.Heaven and earth can learn from the emperor's cultivation heart.

Of course, King Qi is not bad either.

And the popularity is better.

The king of Han met him, the Zhou family and the disciples of the Zhou family were the only His Royal Highness to look after him. Compared with the cruel and ruthless King Qin back then, his reputation was naturally better.

But it's actually taboo.

As an emperor, he actually doesn't like to hear his ministers praise one of his sons too much.In particular, he himself is still young and vigorous, and has no plans to abdicate.

Now that even Lin Mo is under his command, it is hard to imagine what the emperor would think of his fifth and youngest son.

Is it the preference for the son, or the nostalgia for the throne that prevails?

Lin Mo didn't understand the twists and turns of the intrigue at all, and made a decision on his own, without coming to inform him in advance, which really made him feel a thorn in his head.

But Lin Mo said, "You can change your mind."

"Ok?"

"I think the person you once liked is very eye-catching. Even if you don't want to die, you plan to cut off the possibility of you and him?" Lin Mo suggested.

"Nonsense." Shui Rong happily cursed at such an unreliable suggestion.

It's so coaxing.Lin Mo thought with a headache.

What Shui Rong said was not unreasonable, even he himself was terrified.He even said that if King Qi could really achieve great things, would he be taboo against him like his third brother? Maybe it will save his life.But if you really work with King Qi, you will succeed in Jiuchongtian, and you will lose in Huangquan Road. There is no third way to go.The son has just been born for a day, red and soft, Xi Songxi's lesson is vivid in his memory, if such an innocent child walks into Xi He's old path because of his father's stupidity in the future, it will be very sad.

But is there really no other way?

some.

Lin Mo sneered and thought, why there is no other way.Isn't his grandfather's precedent right there?

Just resign.

Those who are reluctant to let go of wealth and glory, and those who can't let go of the monstrous power, why should they put on such an embarrassing look that the whole world can't help him?Lin Mo coughed a few times.Shui Rong opposite him was already dressed flimsy and coquettishly, and someone had to throw flowers and fruits at him when he was walking on the street.Lin Mo was still wearing thongs—the two brothers and sisters were never afraid of being laughed at by others, and they seemed to be out of the same season as others, but Shui Rong also envied him for not being afraid of the heat in summer, and made up his mind to wait until summer to hug him. Holding him in the cool air, it is probably more comfortable than ice cubes - he made up his mind last year when it was too hot, but this year, people can be regarded as his, and he can hug him as he wants, and he can make fun of him when he is comfortable The sound "ice muscle and jade bone is cool and sweatless", it is quite beautiful when you think about it.

However, the thick clothes did not affect Jing Yuanhou's demeanor.He is dressed brightly today, the whole person is huddled in the red-embroidered gold tufted-breasted gown, white as snow, water-melted and rippling thinking, when the clothes are lifted up, the wrists may be transparent.

It's just that Jing Yuanhou, who has the word romantic written all over his body, is very ashamed of his eyes that can make people drunk just by looking at them.

Naturally cold and cold, I'm really sorry for that face.Shui Rong's eyes unconsciously slid down, and when he was distracted, he didn't hear clearly the phrase "but it's still a while" muttered by the person who was helping him in his imagination.

Although he wanted to see his future son-in-law, Shui Rong wouldn't be ashamed to ask someone to take out his two-day-old baby for him.Therefore, he went directly to his yard knowingly. Lin Mo naturally wanted to go to his wife, sister and younger brother one by one. He felt bored: "Where is your eldest son? Come and play with me."

Lin Mo took a deep look, and said, "Xiu Lang just finished eating and went to bed at this point."

What can children do, eat and sleep, sleep and eat.

"It's the same as the two girls in my family." Shui Rong smiled: "How about I also accept a foster son?"

"Isn't it up to you?" Lin Mo waved his hand and went to see Jing Xian and his son first.He still doesn't know what Shui Rong thinks. No matter what, it's the best thing for Beijing Palace to have no heir, and the emperor is probably happy.As for adopting sons who are unfilial, there are three reasons why no offspring is the greatest, so it is natural to accept them, but it shouldn't be Sui Rong's own decision.His surname is Shui anyway.Adopting a child at such a young age and raising him by himself, what is the difference from his own son?Lin Mo thought, as expected, the emperor wanted to directly give him someone who was already in charge of the overall situation.

It would be nice to live until then.He grinned and made a grimace at his troubled little son.

Jingxian's complexion improved a lot today, but she was still haggard. The nuns didn't allow her to wash her hair and take a bath, saying that she was going to cause the root cause of the disease, even Xi'er's proposal to wipe her body with a hot cloth was not acceptable.Although it was quite cool today, she shed a lot of sweat and tears yesterday, and now she just feels sour and uncomfortable everywhere.

Lin Mo also had no choice but to ask the shopkeeper of Shanrentang, but the old doctor said: "It's okay to say, but be careful when sailing for thousands of years, grandma's body is not more important than anything else?" He also gave up this idea, just Consoling Jingxian: "It's just a matter of patience, I've been here for so many years, the weather is still suitable now."

Jing Xian complained: "Xiu Hang must be a good boy."

"It's natural." Lin Mo stared at his sleeping son with infinite anticipation and joy.

Lin Che said that this is a healthy child.He has a much better physical and family background than his parents. It is not yet known whether he is smart or studious, but if he is well-bred by his parents, at least he can be innocent and harmless.Lin Mo hugged his son, feeling extremely soft in his heart.It was only at this time that I realized how difficult it is to be a father who doesn't spoil me.He really wanted to push the whole world in front of this child, how could he be willing to make him suffer a little.I don't know if I will teach this child to read in the future, and when he is disobedient, will I be able to punish him severely.

The father, who had begun to worry years in advance, was sent away by his wife to accompany guests.

As guests, there are also unexpected little guests.

Sitting on Lin Mo's chair, he looked at the young woman with low eyebrows and the crying baby in her arms with some headaches.

"I heard that the lord wants to meet Xiu Lang." The woman is quite delicate, with her hair tied low in a bun, a hibiscus and pink butterfly hairpin inserted, and wearing a pink dress, she looks graceful, and the child in her arms, Just because I was disturbed, I rested and cried.

Shui Rong sighed, and glanced at Miao He beside him: "What a girl."

A loving mother with a kind heart, seeing the upright young master being so pampered after he was born, worried about her son's future.Hearing that King Beijing wanted to adopt a adopted son, he recalled that Shen Bao actually saved such a master back then. He was in a hurry and wanted to try Shui Rong. While laughing at this woman's wishful thinking, he couldn't bear to laugh at her insatiable greed, so he said: " This child is crying so much, if Taiyin hears it, I will treat him as my precious son. My girl is going to sleep at this hour. I dare not disturb the young master and the little girl."

Yun Xi blushed, and her eye sockets suddenly turned sore.

"Don't worry, your Lord Hou is not such a forgetful person." His tone became gentle, "Go back quickly. It's not good for children to cry and recite the past."

Yun Xi hurriedly left with the child in her arms.Lin Mo waited on the porch for a long time, and then continued to walk into the house when the person was far away, and Ling Ge followed behind him awkwardly: "Miao He, girl, doesn't even know the rules and etiquette!"

"That's all." Lin Mo sighed.To say that I'm not partial in the slightest - I don't believe it myself.

After entering the room, he saw that Shui Rong's hands and feet had already started to take off his clothes extremely quickly. He was not embarrassed to see him coming in, but instead instructed Wen Qin to bring him the soup: "Would you like a bowl of Tai Yin too?"

"Whose house is this?" Lin Mo thought it was amused, and he didn't need to go closer, the umami smell of mutton soup came to his nostrils - after water, it was stewed white, but there was no fishy smell.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Shui Rong.

When is it time to drink this soup?

Shui Rong happily raised the corners of his lips, and his eyes signaled——Dare you?

Dare you?

Lin Mo sighed, and told all the maids in the house to go outside, and not to come in without his order: "Tomorrow, I have to go to burn incense for Princess Beijing."

"Ah?"

"I broke my promise and gained weight." Lin Mo said sincerely, "I plan to sleep with his husband."
