Besides, when Lin Ruhai came to Beijing, the first thing to do was of course to enter the palace to have an audience with Emperor Xuanwu.
Jin You, the eunuch in charge, led Lin Ruhai into the imperial study.
As soon as Lin Ruhai entered the door, he saw Emperor Xuanwu standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back. Although he was only wearing a bright yellow eight-group embroidered kuilong uniform, he still had the majesty of the emperor and the quality of a dragon and a phoenix.
There were still two people standing under the imperial case, and Lin Ruhai couldn’t tell who they were for a while.
He met Emperor Xuanwu as a state ceremony, and only heard the emperor say gently: “The Lin Qing family invites you.”
When Lin Ruhai got up, the emperor also turned around to look at the inspector.
He knew that Lin Ruhai was his father’s servant, and he was the Tanhualang he personally chose back then.He has been repeatedly promoted in the past few years, from the doctor of Lantai Temple to the inspector of Yanyan. Although he has been released to the outside world, there is a shortage of fat and shortages, which shows that his father thinks highly of him.
In the past, Lin Ruhai had no contact with the princes, and the emperor had never dealt with them, at most, they met each other face to face.Now face to face like this, let’s take a closer look.
I saw Lin Ruhaisheng’s handsomeness and elegance, and his demeanor was just like the phrase “serious as the wind under the pine, tall and gentle”.Although he is approaching his age now, he has added a calm and noble air, and he is indeed a figure from the generation of poets and ceremonies with hairpin tassels.
So the emperor laughed and said: “Sure enough, you are very handsome. I can’t blame my father for choosing you as the third prize that day, but I asked Baoninghou to be the champion.”
In the style of this dynasty, among the top three is Tanhualang, not only for his outstanding knowledge, but also for his youthful talents and handsome appearance.
So to catch a son-in-law under the list, everyone’s first choice must be Tanhualang.
After all, there are thirty old Mingjing and fifty young Jinshi.If he carried the No. [-] scholar away in the dark, he might carry a grandpa’s back home.So if you want to catch a son-in-law under the list, you must catch Tanhua.
Although there is no custom of catching a son-in-law under the list in this dynasty, all officials and eunuchs stare at this list every year to find a son-in-law who can ride the dragon and quickly, and this Tanhualang is also the most sought-after.
Lin Ruhai knew that he was not Emperor Xuanwu’s confidant, now seeing the emperor speak so softly, he dare not trust him.
But before he could open his mouth to be modest, he heard a person beside him laughing and said: “Your Majesty’s heart is too fast. In the past, the boastful officials were personable and dignified, and the Taoist ministers with golden mouth and jade words were also worthy of the name of probing flowers. Only now I see you Master Lin, this minister has become a top pick.”
Lin Ruhai was so casual in front of the imperial court, he knew without asking, who else could he be if it wasn’t the Marquis of Baoning?
Sure enough, the emperor was not annoyed, instead he said with a smile: “I didn’t say that my uncle’s birth is not as good as Lin Qing’s family, otherwise, if it is passed on to the queen mother, I will suffer.”
Although Lin Ruhai is an arrogant and aloof person, her nature is very transparent.Just these few conversations, you can know how Baoninghou is in the emperor’s heart.
Then he has a little more confidence in his return to Beijing.
Shang Duo also laughed and said: “Your Majesty is looking at the Empress Dowager’s face, but I know myself. In terms of appearance, I am not as good as Lord Lin. But I am not convinced. As the saying goes, young phoenixes are worse than old phoenixes. I have a son.”
The emperor laughed and said: “Shouldn’t others be boasting about this, and should I be humble? It’s only uncle who puts it on himself like this.”
Shang Duo didn’t care about it, and just continued: “Master Lin is the Tanhua Lang handpicked by the Supreme Emperor, but so is Chi’er. I think my son is no worse than Lord Lin in the imperial examination.”
Lin Ruhai raised his eyes slightly after hearing this sentence.
He had already heard that the eldest son of Marquis Baoning ordered Tanhua last year, he was the last Tanhua ordered by the Supreme Emperor during his reign, and he was favored by the old sage.
Seeing him now, he really is a young man like a willow in the spring moon, even Lin Ruhai couldn’t help but shine in his eyes.
The emperor nodded when he heard this, pointed at Shang Chi and said to Lin Ruhai, “Ling Qing’s family, how about my cousin?”
After Shang Chi heard this, he came up to greet Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai supported him with his own hands, and looked at him more carefully. Seeing that he was not only very good in life, but also well-spoken, he praised him a lot.
The emperor said with a smile: “Since that’s the case, let Chi’er follow you in the household department. After a few more years of experience, you will be able to take on the heavy responsibility.”
Lin Ruhai frowned: He had already thought that His Majesty would let his confidant take charge of the household department sooner or later, but what he didn’t expect was that His Majesty would actually choose such a young Shang Chi.
But it did him no harm.Shangchi is so young, and it will take at least five years before it can take on important responsibilities. This qualification can convince the public.In other words, in the past few years, as long as I don’t get confused, my official career and official position are stable.
Five years, better than he expected, enough to find a good family for Yu’er.
Moreover, this time he came to Beijing, he also accepted the favor of Baoninghou. In the future, he will be relieved to hand over the household department to Shang Chi. After all, with his temperament, he is always unwilling to owe others.
In the blink of an eye, these thoughts had already passed through his mind.
Naturally, he respectfully agreed to the emperor’s arrangement, and exchanged a few polite words with Marquis Baoning, then helped Shang Chi, who came to meet his superior again, praised and exhorted him a few words.
Such a scene of harmony between the monarch and his subjects in the imperial study.
At this time, the Rongguo Mansion had already prepared regulations for welcoming Lin Ruhai.Jia Lian was in charge of this matter, and he wanted to flatter Uncle Lin, so he naturally considered it carefully, and everything was done properly, without omission of inappropriate things.
Although Daiyu had been waiting in Jia Mu’s room early in the morning, Lin Ruhai had to stay in the palace for a long time.
Because Jia’s mother is here, the two wives of King Xing and Sister Feng are all there, so it is unavoidable to come to talk to Daiyu.
Seeing Daiyu’s uneasy expression, Jia’s mother seemed to be out of her mind when she spoke.Then he also became considerate, and instead of asking her to sit here to socialize and talk, he just told her to go back to the house and have a rest, and call her again after Mrs. Lin came in.
Until noon, Daiyu only heard the sound of footsteps, but it was the snow geese running in, her cheeks were flushed: “Miss, the master has entered the mansion. Miss, go to the old lady’s.”
Daiyu suddenly got up, and it was Zijuan who quickly helped her to stabilize her figure.
For a while, I only felt sad and happy, like falling into the clouds.
The main gate of Rongguo Mansion was opened wide, and Jia Lian and Baoyu brought all the children of Rongguo Mansion to welcome them outside. Jia Zhen also specially brought Jia Rong and Jia Qiang over the mansion to wait together.
Because Jia pardoned Jia Zheng as his brother-in-law, he only waited for Lin Ruhai to come to see him at Rongxi Hall.It’s just that Lin Ruhai is now in the first rank, and they have a good face, so they repeatedly asked Jia Lian and others to invite Lin Ruhai in.
Although Jia Lian was not knowledgeable, he was able to socialize in the world, so he brought Lin Ruhai in all the way properly.
If Lin Ruhai had thought that Jia She was addicted to debauchery before, but Jia Zheng was upright, courteous and kind, and he was quite friendly.But after getting Shang Duo’s letter, he felt bad for Erfang.
So this time when I came to Beijing, I didn’t write a letter to this second uncle who was quite speculative in the past.
When Lin Ruhai entered the Rongguo Mansion, he naturally had to go to the Rongqing Hall to pay his respects to Mother Jia.
He went in and met Jia’s mother as a son-in-law, and then couldn’t hold back anymore, he only kept his eyes on the face of Jia’s daughter beside Jia’s mother.
After a few years of separation, Daiyu has grown up, and at this moment it is as if she saw the face of her dead wife.
Lin Ruhai felt great pain in his heart, stepped forward to help Daiyu who was about to salute, and only said in his mouth: “Yu’er, Daddy is here now.”
This sentence is worth a thousand words, and the heartache and pain of the father and daughter for several years have been clearly understood.
Daiyu thought about a lot of things, but she didn’t need to say any more.
Father knew it all, he knew his suffering, so he came, and she was no longer helpless from now on.
When Jia’s mother saw their father and daughter looking at each other and weeping, she couldn’t help crying when she thought of Jia Min who had gone.Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and others stepped forward to comfort her, and Sister Feng said a lot of good things. She only said how Daiyu gained face in the palace now, and how her outrageous words made people like her.
After all, Lin Ruhai was polished in his official career, so he quickly calmed down his hurt expression, and talked about old times with Jiamu and others.
In any case, he must take his daughter away this time.
Sure enough, Mother Jia only said that when Lin Ruhai came to Beijing, the houses in the capital were not complete, and Daiyu would be wronged when she went back, so it would be better to stay in Rongguo Mansion as usual.
Lin Ruhai smiled: “Don’t worry, old lady, I will definitely not let Yu’er be wronged.”
This sentence made Jia’s mother a little confused.It’s just that in this dynasty it’s customary for a son-in-law to come to the house as a distinguished guest, not to mention that Lin Ruhai is now in a high position, and Jia’s mother can’t say anything. She just sighed: “Min’er is my only daughter. Now she is gone. I have raised Yu’er for a few years. You are going to take her there suddenly again, I just can’t bear it.”
Lin Ruhai only said that he would ask Daiyu to come and walk around in the future, and he did not let Daiyu stay in Rongguo Mansion.
Daiyu has been raised by Jia Mu for many years, so she will naturally visit her frequently in the future, otherwise people will say that she is impolite.So as long as Jia’s mother is still there, Lin Ruhai can’t sever his relationship with Rongguo Mansion.
But it is absolutely impossible for her daughter to stay in Jia’s house.
So Lin Ruhai said to Daiyu after socializing with Jia’s mother, “Yu’er, go to the house and tell the maids to clean it up, and we’ll go home.”
Daiyu answered and stood up.
But I heard Jia’s mother say: “There is no need to clean up. Is my uncle going to cut off contact with our family? I will decide to keep Yu’er’s house as it is. Or ask her to come and stay for a few days every now and then to accompany my old lady. , as if it was my mother who went for her to accompany me.”
When Jia’s mother carried Jia Min out, she wept even more, so Lin Ruhai had no choice but to take a step back.
Anyway, Daiyu’s house at home has been tidied up properly, and Jia’s house doesn’t need anything.Originally, he just didn’t want Daiyu’s personal and frequently used things to stay in Jia’s house, but now that Jia’s mother insisted, Lin Ruhai had to temporarily agree.
After all, Daiyu had been raised by Jia Mu for many years, and if she really stopped visiting her house from now on, she would be criticized by others.
So Lin Ruhai had no choice but to take Daiyu to get up and say goodbye, and went forward to say goodbye to Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, and the father and daughter left Rongguo Mansion together.
Sitting on the carriage, Daiyu opened a gap slightly, looked at the Rongguo Mansion where she had lived for several years, and then lowered the curtain.
From now on, she will go back home.
Here, Mother Jia sat there with a slightly gloomy face, and even Sister Feng dared not come up to laugh.
Thinking about Lin Ruhai’s attitude just now, Jia’s mother was both worried and sad: the worry was that Lin Ruhai was obviously not very close to her family, not to mention Baoyu and Daiyu’s marriage, I’m afraid it would be difficult for him to help the Jia family; Jia Min is gone, she really loved this daughter back then, if she was still around, how could Lin Ruhai be so indifferent to the Jia family.
After all, Daiyu was still separated by a layer, it was the daughter of the Lin family, not her Jia family.
Seeing that Jia’s mother was in a bad mood, Mrs. Xing Wang and Sister Feng made excuses and slipped away.
Mrs. Wang asked Sister Feng to go with her, and said to her, “Brother Feng, if you are in good health, you have to take over the housekeeper’s business.”
Sister Feng curled her lips secretly, and then cried bitterly: “My wife doesn’t know, I have invited a doctor to drink medicine juice every day. Not to mention that my worry-free daughter is also in trouble, making troubles every day. stop.”
“Years ago, I was sick and didn’t dare to rest because of my younger sister Lin’s study in the palace. I insisted on staying with my wife. In addition, there was another commotion during the Chinese New Year, but now I can’t take it anymore. My wife just Take pity on me.”
Sister Feng is so eloquent, Mrs. Wang was a straightforward person when she was young, but when she got older, she became more and more reticent, trying to pretend to be a living Bodhisattva.So I told Sister Feng to be speechless with this series of words.
After all, now that the second house is in charge, it’s not easy to force the eldest house’s wife to die here to help her.
So Mrs. Wang only frowned and said: “I just said one thing, and you go on and on like this. You child, this housekeeper is originally I fought for your face from the old lady, but you don’t hesitate. In the past, you were the housekeeper, whoever Disrespect you three points?”
Sister Feng secretly rolled her eyes: Do you respect me three points, or hate me to the bone?
Mrs. Wang continued: “There is no one in the family who understands. If you fall down again, I will not be able to support myself.”
Sister Feng laughed and said, “I know what my wife can do. Besides, sister-in-law Zhu is also capable. Besides, there are several younger sisters who can read and write, and they are better than me.”
Mrs. Wang was silent.
Li Wan was the one she hated from the bottom of her heart, Jia Zhu, who she would think of when she saw her, how could it not hurt her heart.Besides, there has never been an example of a widow and grandma being a housekeeper in Rongguo Mansion.
As for the three girls, Yingchun didn’t know how to prick a needle like a piece of wood. Xichun is from the mansion over there, but Tanchun is the only one who is clever, and he is Aunt Zhao’s daughter, and Jia Huan is his brother.
If Tanchun got involved with the housekeeper, Aunt Zhao would be proud again.
But now Sister Feng is unwilling, and Mrs. Wang can’t force her, so she can only say: “That’s all right. But I have something for you to do here, and it won’t take much effort.”
“Zhou Rui’s son-in-law, Leng Zixing, somehow got into a fight with the population and was arrested by the yamen. Do you know about this?”
Sister Feng: Hehe, not only do I know, I did it.
Leng Zixing dared to say behind her back that she and Jia Lian were housekeepers and couples. In Sister Feng’s eyes, it would be easy to kill him, not to mention that it was just a design to frame him and sent him to prison to be punished.
Mrs. Wang continued: “Go back and take the name card of the old man or Lian’er, and just get them out.” Seeing that Sister Feng didn’t answer, Mrs. Wang said with a slightly accentuated tone: “It’s not a waste of effort. .”
Then Sister Feng smiled and said, “Don’t worry, madam, I understand.”
Although she prevaricates Mrs. Wang by saying that she knows, she not only does not do it secretly, but also spends money and asks someone to torture Leng Zixing three times in two days.
The yamen is also happy: it has always been paid to buy people who are not guilty, but now some people pay them to beat people.
For them, it means beating their children on a rainy day, and being idle is also idle.So buy one get one free, and increased the number of blows of the torture stick from thirty to sixty, perfectly completing the task.
Only Leng Zixing was beaten to death.
And Zhou Rui’s family was terribly disturbed by their daughter crying at home every day.
It’s just that Mrs. Wang is very busy because of Sister Feng’s abandonment of the housekeeper.
So Zhou Rui’s family didn’t dare to urge Mrs. Wang, so they came to beg Sister Feng by themselves.
Sister Feng is just resting on the bed, and asked two little girls to read to her from the storybook below.
Seeing Zhou Rui’s family begging to come to the door, he shirked: “If the incident happened in Jinling, it’s fine, but the capital’s yamen is not easy to deal with. If you are in a hurry, please ask your wife to go to the Wang’s house and beg my uncle.”
Zhou Rui’s family was helpless, knowing that it was Sister Feng who refused to reach out, so they could only leave from Sister Feng.
She was walking dejectedly, when she saw Zicuckoo hugging a vase with carved wood peony pattern of agarwood, and greeted her.
“Such a big whole piece of agarwood, with good texture, yo, look at this tangled peony tree with delicate patterns, where did it come from?” Zhou Rui’s family is Mrs. Wang’s dowry after all, and he has seen some world experience.
Zijuan smiled all over her face: “It’s not that the old lady loves Miss Lin and told me to take her back. After the Flower Festival is over, there will be some fresh flowers right away, just to put them in the vase.”
Mother Jia had given Lin Daiyu a Yulou peony before, so now she sent this peony bottle again, thinking it happened to be a pair.
It’s just that she is an elder, so naturally she doesn’t go to the younger generation’s house easily, and she doesn’t know that what Daiyu hangs is the scroll picture of Shouxuan sent by Shang Chanchan.
Zhou Rui’s family clicked their tongues twice to express their envy, and then separated from Zijuan.
Here she was thinking about how to persuade Mrs. Wang to beg Wang Ziteng, and she was very pessimistic: even Baoyu’s marriage, Wang Ziteng and his wife, were not willing to lend a hand, not to mention her own affairs.
Suddenly a flash of light came into my mind.
Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue had said before that they wanted to get a painting of their name from the old lady and send it to the Wang family.Miss Lin now hangs a picture for nothing!
Fortunately, I can take it to give to Wang Ziteng.Mrs. Wang must entrust herself to do such a thing, so she can take the opportunity to ask her uncle and master.With a word from Wang Ziteng, how dare the Yamen in Beijing not let people go?
So he hurried back and forth to Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang frowned after hearing Zhou Rui’s family’s idea: “The old lady gave it to Miss Lin.”
In fact, Mrs. Wang didn’t have some antique calligraphy and paintings at the bottom of the box. Even Jia Zheng often used the money from the public to dump these things.
It’s just that her money was spent relentlessly with Yuanchun, and she wanted to leave the rest to Baoyu, so she refused to give it to her sister-in-law who had been at odds with her before.
Although she has a reputation of loving to give away money and being respectful to monks, she is actually not much better than Mrs. Xing in being stingy. Apart from using the money from the public to pretend to be generous, the other things are rewarding girls, and they are all using her old past. The clothes are rewarding, but there is nothing really good.
Zhou Rui’s family handed over tea: “Madam, think about it carefully, since Mrs. Lin returned to Beijing, has Miss Lin ever visited our house? Even her own house can only go back in three days, let alone here. That’s it. When I come back in the future, I just sit in the mansion for a while, and she might not have noticed that painting without it.”
“Furthermore, it is the old lady’s selfishness. In the final analysis, it is still a property of our Jia family. Even if Miss Lin sees the painting, she may not be ashamed to ask about it with her heart. And I just tell Zijuan, The madam hangs it up to entertain guests, and if she returns it later, she can’t say anything.”
“If you want to sue the old lady for this, Miss Lin will probably lose face to her Lin family and tell people that she is greedy for Jia’s things. At most, she will cry behind her back for a while.”
Zhou Rui’s family has been in the second door all year round, relying on Mrs. Wang’s face, they are very familiar with the tempers of these girls.
For example, Yingchun is cowardly and dare not shout out when someone takes her things.
But Daiyu is aloof, no matter how precious something is, if the old lady doesn’t take the initiative to give it to her, she never asks for it.
So she made sure that Daiyu would not say anything about it.
Even more persuading Madam Wang: “Take a [-]-step back, and there will be a real trouble. Madam only asks the uncle to help the eldest lady in the palace, and the old lady has nothing to say. Naturally, the eldest lady will have to live with her.” Miss Lin’s.”
Mrs. Wang thought about it, but it really made sense.
When Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing, it was obvious that he was estranged from the Jia family. What’s the point of the old lady shaving her head and making her head hot, she might as well give the benefits to the Wang family, who are also the four major families.
Besides, Mrs. Wang is always begging for perfection towards Daiyu these days, always smiling.
Bisheng Daiyu looks more and more like Jia Min who has not left the cabinet, and does not give her any face.Now that Daiyu can suffer an indescribable grievance, Mrs. Wang can only wish her well.
So really moved by the persuasion of Zhou Rui’s family, she was asked to fetch the painting from Daiyu’s room and give it to Wang Ziteng and his wife.
It happened that Xueyan went home with Daiyu, and Zijuan didn’t know that Daiyu had put away Jiamu’s painting, but it was a gift from Baoninghoufu.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang sent Zhou Rui’s family to ask for it, she dared not refuse it.
Besides, Daiyu and Shang Chanchan are still spending their days leisurely studying in the palace, and they don’t know anything about the Rongguo Mansion.
Shang Chanchan was very happy to see that Daiyu had returned to her home now, and the worries on her brows were gone.
Because she knew that Lin Gong died of illness in middle age in the book, she turned the corner and reminded Daiyu to pay more attention to Lin Gong’s body.
Daiyu was not worried, she just laughed and said that her father was in good health, which made Shang Chanchan puzzled.
In fact, Lin Ruhai’s physical condition is not bad.
Although he took the civil examination, the imperial examination in this dynasty was divided into three sessions and nine days.For nine whole days, the candidates lived and ate in their own small rooms in the Gongyuan, which was almost like being in prison.Regardless of whether you are a child of an official or a poor family, you will all be locked in a small partition without extra care.Those who were really weak were carried out after the exam, and they couldn’t wait until the exam was over.
Since Lin Ruhai was able to persist for nine days when he was young, it shows that his foundation is considered strong.
What’s more, the Lin family has been passed down for many years, so how can there be no way to preserve one’s health.It’s just that at that time his wife lost his son, he was disheartened, and at the same time, he lived in the south of the Yangtze River without caring about himself, which led to his early death.
But now that he has Daiyu as his concern, he has sustenance in his heart.He was transferred back to Beijing, and he took good care of it, so his bones are still healthy.
It’s just that Shang Chanchan didn’t know and was worried about it for no reason.
He even asked Xie Ling to pay more attention to this matter in private, which can be regarded as giving Xie Ling a chance to express himself in front of his future father-in-law.Xin Dao, as long as he is not a fool, he knows how close and caring Lin Ruhai is.
It made Xie Ling confused: he knew that Shang Chanchan liked Lin Daiyu, but he didn’t like Lin Daiyu so much that even her father cared about her.
But since it was the order of his future wife, he still carried out the task without any compromise.
After Lin Ruhai came to Beijing, he took his daughter home, so he naturally used his post to invite the imperial physician in the palace to treat Daiyu, and he had to ask for his own pulse.
Xie Ling was often in the palace, so he went to the imperial hospital to inquire, and got the answer that Mr. Lin was in good health, but he was tired of driving and horses, and he was not acclimatized after many years in Beijing.
Only then did Shang Chanchan let go of half of her heart.
