The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Shui Rong said that Lin Mo's luck was exceptionally good, but it was not in vain.How many champions have there been in this dynasty?He is the only one with such scenery.When he first came out, it happened that Lin Hai died of illness—he was still in office, and he had dedicated himself no matter what. As usual, this kind of hero should be rewarded to his heirs, but Lin Hai was poor and had no son.But the champion of the new division is also surnamed Lin, and what's more coincident is that he hasn't kissed his parents yet.However, the family's title is not for nothing, Lin Mo's first thing after inheriting the Lin family is to observe filial piety.The three-year father's filial piety can be said to be long or short, but how many three years are there in a person's life?Seeing that the No. [-] candidates back then were all released and promoted, he didn't even receive a fief when he was appointed as a marquis.

But this is another manifestation of luck.Those three years happened to be the time when the emperor fought back against King Zhongshun and other Jedi, and there was an undercurrent in the court. Although the emperor had the absolute upper hand, it was not without sacrifices. hurt.But Lin Mo stayed at home peacefully and escaped such a catastrophe.

But now, Fu Yuan's unreasonable playing of cards has become his great help.The person hasn't come back yet, so no one can tell what's going on at the other end, but with just such a yell, everyone thinks that there must be something wrong with Yu Yining.Otherwise, why would he want to assassinate Bo Jingyi?Isn't it a guilty conscience?As for whether the assassin was sent by Yu Yining, not many people pursued it - of course he sent it, otherwise others would know about that other courtyard?They naturally think so.

"You are so lucky." Shui Rong sighed again.

"Master Shang Shu is here today, have you seen him?" Lin Mo asked, then grabbed the bowl from his hand, "I ate too much, be careful, my stomach hurts." Cao Shangshu usually had to go after lunch If you don't need to go to the cabinet to discuss matters, you can go back early, because it won't be his turn to be on duty anyway.But there are exceptions, such as today.In any case, he is the Minister of Household Affairs, even if Shui Rong is the king, when he comes to the Household Department, he has to talk to Cao Shangshu first.He came here familiarly, but no matter how you look at it, he was rude.Others didn't care about it, but Lin Mo wanted to continue working in the household department, so he sent him to Cao Shangshu, "Why don't you really wait for Master Shangshu to come to me and ask you what you think about your visit? You're too embarrassing."

Naturally, Shui Rong is not a person who does not know etiquette, but the news came suddenly today, and he was very happy for Lin Mo, so he couldn't help showing off, but Lin Mo was very calm, and he was not as ecstatic as he imagined .He couldn't help saying: "Why bother. It seems that you are unhappy."

"It's not something to be happy about." Lin Mo said, "The emperor's beloved minister has actually plotted against the law for decades. It's strange."

Shui Rong also trembled, remembering why he was so busy a while ago.However, before he could speak, he was pushed out by Lin Mo—if Cao Shangshu came to the servant in person to ask someone, let alone Shui Rong, even Lin Mo's face would not be wanted.

Cao Shangshu was also in a dilemma. When King Beijing came to the household department, there was not much movement, and he led his people to Lin Shilang's place. After that, the two of them locked in the room and did not know what to say. Waiting outside.So that his immediate boss didn't know what to do.Others don't know, but he does know that the relationship between King Jingyuan and Marquis Jingyuan is not ordinary, he went rashly, what if it bothers you?Fortunately, before he could hesitate any longer, Shui Rong came to him in person.

"Your Majesty is here, I'm not far away to welcome you." He cheered up and was as polite as water.

That is, "polite".Now among the six departments, only the household department does not have a prince in charge, which seems to be a very good thing, but he also knows in his heart that if the princes don't come to the household department to make a living, there is another one here to seek seniority.Moreover, they are not "assholes". They have really done those political achievements, and their skills are there, and ordinary people cannot envy them.It turned out that when King Qin was in the household department, King Beijing was already a frequent visitor, and now he comes more frequently than before.But just like back then, it was never aimed at him.

But even so, I still have to ask: "I heard that His Majesty intends to ask people to go to Jiangnan again."

Shui Rong was not surprised that Cao Shangshu was well-informed, and he pursed his lips and smiled: "If my lord wants to invite you, there are nine out of ten chances that you will be able to."

"I'm an old man, I'm powerless." Cao Shangshu sighed.He needs this qualification and this level of credit, but he is afraid of offending people.After working steadily for so many years, even though the opportunity was right in front of him, he didn't have the courage to try the shortcut that required taking risks.

However, Shui Rong's words also made him hear a different meaning.As far as he knew, Ouyang from the Ministry of Punishment and Wang Ziteng both intended to go to Jiangnan.When Shui Rong said this to him, did he mean that both of them were dead?That's good news.

"Master Fuyao is about to leave." Shui Rong smiled, "Finally, the Ministry of Rites doesn't have to cry there."

He is also the truth.Lord Fuyao is neat and generous in his actions, but after suffering from them, the elders, he often hears that the Lord has met the young master of which family, and that the Lord does not shy away from males when he visits the family... After all, it is still the same. The customs of the two countries are different.Rong Jia has seen the world, and once scolded in front of Lin Mo: "A lot of people raise sons or girls? Why are you crying, crying, crying, thinking that letting your son cry is like their family is pure and clean?" .”

This is another thing to say.Although Lord Fuyao's behavior is a bit perverse, how can he be too rude when he is a crown prince?There are still some people who like to elevate themselves by stepping on others.Although Rong Jia was devastated by the reception of Mrs. Weng, but after all, he was not used to these people's pretentiousness.

"The Ministry of Rites is still busy. Isn't it that the imperial list will be released?" Cao Shangshu said, "But we will not be free at that time. There are a few people from the Ministry of Households who will be released this year. That student, Mr. Lin, will go down. I'm busy, I won't be able to do anything when autumn comes, so I need to bring in a few more capable people." He had always thought that there were a lot of people in the household department, even if Lin Mo released a few, the rest would be taken care of properly. Saturation, anyway, the Chen Zhima rotten millet account of the year was almost checked last year.Who knows that something is really wrong now.Hou Jingyuan's eyes are not insincere, all capable people have been gathered under his banner, and now they are released to seek a future, what kind of goods are left in the household department!

But they are still the heirs of noble families, so they can't be moved easily.

Otherwise, Lin Mo was already a third-rank servant in his early twenties, and he hadn't won the exam when he was twenty.Cao Shangshu touched the tip of his nose.

Shui Rong laughed out loud, and then looked at the notes on Cao Shangshu's case: "Then Mr. Cao, you are busy, I'll go and see Tai Yin."

Cao Shangshu was very knowledgeable and interesting, and he didn't even politely ask him to drink tea.

Lin Mo wasn't on duty today, originally Chen Yejun was going to prepare for release, they were here to follow up, and Gao Fengliang, who was the servant, stayed to help, and now he has packed up everything, and came back after seeing him , and someone went to say it, and the two went out together.

"Where are you going?" Shui Rong asked.

"I'm going to visit Fang Xiang."

Shui Rong was taken aback.

Fang Procurator, Mr. Fang, was already very angry at his unfilial son, and then he had a stroke, paralyzed on the bed, unable to move from the neck down, even the left side of his face was stiff, and he had to speak every single word. jump.The catastrophe that happened to his Fang family was all due to Lin Mo's righteous actions not long ago.Now that he has lost power, why is he rushing to do it?Waiting for Fang's family to blast him out with a broom?

"Let's have dinner together? Where can I put it?" Lin Mo asked, "If you don't want to eat at home, you might have to wait for me for a while—"

Shui Rong held his hand: "I'll accompany you."

Are you kidding, the current Fangfu, to Lin Mo, isn't it like a tiger's den and a dragon's pond?

Lin Mo didn't refuse either, on the carriage, remembering to promise Jing Xian to ask her something, so she said, "Your house has a new theater troupe who said there is still a horn whose waist is as soft as water? "

Shui Rong blushed, then turned white, and turned green again: "Huh? I'm going to send off the King of Nan'an, you know I don't move Danjiaoer."

"Oh, it's okay, I'll just ask."

Shui Rong took a deep breath: "You know the situation now. I'm always in fear, so I don't have the time to move my brains. Even if I use all my brains, can I hide it from you? You don't know I--"

Before he could finish his confession, Lin Mo raised his head and smiled at him: "Well, good boy."

Shui Rong couldn't raise his breath, and almost passed out.

Fortunately, we arrived at Fangfu soon.

Shui Rong has some old feelings with the Fang family.His mother's concubine's surname is Fang, and although Fang Jian and Fang Jian are not of the same family, the two families are considered friends.Fortunately, despite the deep hatred, Fang's family is also a family of poetry and calligraphy, and there is no scene of dozens of strong men rushing up to punch and kick after closing the door as he expected.

Fang Enqin greeted her in person.

He was still young, and Fang Pingyun had no part in what Fang Pingyun did.What's more, although there are many eldest princesses, few have biological heirs, Fang Enqin is still loved by his grandpa.Although the princess's status plummeted, no one dared to say anything about him.

The little boy, with his back straight, saluted the two of them casually: "I have met the King of Beijing and Mr. Lin."

"Well. The Eldest Princess invites you to play at her house these few days." Lin Mo didn't feel at all that he was the culprit who sent Fang Pingyun into exile, and his tone was very intimate.

Fang Enqin said: "Grandfather said that studies are more important. Things at home should be more peaceful, and Enqin will go to greet the Eldest Princess."

"This kid is promising." Watching Fang Enqin go to Fang's inspection room to report, Lin Mo waited outside for the master to call him in, and casually said to Shui Rong.

The eldest son of a good princess, when he was studying in the Imperial College, he was almost considered the favored son of heaven. Even his husband didn't dare to speak loudly to him. He suffered a sudden change overnight and saw all the changes in human relationships, and he didn't see any fluctuations. , can be regarded as the word calm.It's just that Lin Mo said this compliment, but it's not quite right.

Shui Rong thought to himself, he really has a big heart.
