[Red Mansion] Today is also not a person in Jia's house

Chapter 145

Although the imperial examination was a grand event for poor families, it did not exclude the children of aristocratic families.When the children from the poor family gathered in the inn to discuss their way out, the children from the aristocratic family had already thought of a way out for their future.

Zhongshun Prince's Mansion was full of people, but most of them dared not come in person, and sent people to give gifts first to test the attitude of the Prince's Mansion.

"My lord, son, this is the seventh greeting card sent today."

The servants came forward with the greeting card and gift list, and respectfully placed them on the table.There is already a thick stack of the same greeting cards and gift lists beside them.

Prince Zhongshun picked up the teacup and glanced at it from the corner of his eye.

"Who sent it again? There are a lot of posts sent in recently, you can choose according to your choice, don't send them all to me casually."

"Yes, father. Now that the court is empty, most of these people have a chance to stay in the capital, so I ordered them to accept them."

Prince Zhongshun picked up the post and scanned it, seeing that it was not someone he was familiar with, he dropped the post to read the gift list.

"Although he came from a poor village, his family has a bit of money. After the palace examination, the backlog of cases will be dealt with, and a lot of positions will be vacated, so we can cultivate more confidantes."

As soon as he spoke, he picked out a few greeting cards in his hand, obviously already arranged.

Prince Zhongshun didn't care, but smiled and nodded very pleased.

"Since you have an idea, just do it. Our palace is the only one in the capital that is unique. It's a pity that Lin Ruhai refuses to cooperate with us. Otherwise, if he writes a letter, it will definitely protect your hereditary prince."

The titles have been passed down from generation to generation, from the first princes and princes to the last titles, if they cannot be accomplished by descendants, they will only gradually decline.

There are very few iron hat kings, and it is not easy to continue for two or three generations.

Prince Zhongshun sat at the bottom with a confident smile.

"Father, don't be impatient. Lin Ruhai has been involved since the moment he entered the capital. How could he be allowed to protect himself wisely? Cheng Qian and I have made an agreement to make an engagement for him and the third sister immediately after leaving the country. If Lin Ruhai can just sit idly by ?”

"After all, they are not parents and children. If this old fox is determined not to go with us, he can't force him too hard. His Majesty accepted him as the examiner, which shows that he is very important."

Although the position of prince is said to be below one person and above ten thousand people, he is still a courtier after all.Prince Zhongshun had some scruples, put down his teacup, got up and walked to the window with a worried face.

Shizi didn't care.

"Father is too worried. There are not many members of the Supreme Emperor's henchmen left in the court. Even if the emperor values ​​him, how long can he be valued? If Lin Ruhai is really unreasonable and unwilling to help, he will have his own way to deal with him."

"Oh?"

Prince Zhongshun looked over, but didn't say anything, he just stroked his beard thoughtfully.

In the evening of that day, Prince Zhongshun's Mansion sent a generous gift to Cheng Mansion.

Lin Ruhai didn't know what was going on outside, he looked at the gift in front of him with an unhappy expression.

"Didn't you say that in a few years, I'm busy sending people over here. What's the date? Hurry up and go."

Three letters and six ceremonies, after the invitation period, there is only a personal welcome, how could Lin Ruhai be happy?Seeing that everyone in front of him was not pleasing to the eye, it seemed that they were all here to snatch a girl.

Cao An stepped forward and cupped his hands.

"Lord Lin, my lord just sent someone here, and he didn't want to get married right away. At least we have to wait for the country's filial piety, right?"

"National filial piety? There is less than half a month left of national filial piety, are you going to welcome him away?"

Lin Ruhai was so angry that his beard was about to blow out. If he hadn't cared about his age and status, he would have kicked everyone out now.

Cao An quickly apologized.

"Of course not. Your lord can't go back to Beijing without an edict. The villain is just passing on orders. Your lord cherishes girls, and you must be considerate of the etiquette you should have, don't you think?"

These words were quite pleasant, and Lin Ruhai restrained his anger a little.

Cao An continued.

"There are so many things in Beijing. Even though we are in Fujian, we can still hear about it, let alone the two girls. My lord specially ordered that Mr. Lin is a loyal minister and has no intention of fighting for power. It’s my wish. Now all kinds of industries in Fujian are waiting to be flourished. Although it’s not as rich as the capital, it’s more comfortable.”

There are advantages and disadvantages of staying away from the capital, and it is indeed not a bad thing for Lin Yun.Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment, then looked at Cao An even more dissatisfied.

"My lord, you know Yun'er very well. She is indeed a childhood sweetheart, probably closer than my father."

Cao An's heart skipped a beat.Bad, not enough flattery, too much empathy.

"Mr. Lin, what are you talking about? You are your biological father. Who can compare to you? The eldest girl is married far away. Both you and us adults want the girl to live well."

This kind of cleverness may be useful in front of others, but it is very simple in front of the old fox. Cao An racked his brains and found nothing to say.

In my heart, I complained silently.Young master, you have said everything you taught me. If things fail, you can't blame me. If you want to blame, you can only blame your father-in-law for being too shrewd.

However, if you are not happy, you are not happy, and the etiquette that should go is still to go.On the selected date, the two sides disagreed again.

According to the thinking of the Cao family, naturally the sooner the better, although it is not easy to say it clearly, but this is the meaning inside and outside the words.

Lin Ruhai was always dissatisfied, so he simply chose the date for next autumn.

Cao An was shocked, and while flying pigeons to pass the letter back to Fujian, he hurriedly contacted Mrs. Cao, the leader of Cao's gang.

The road is far away in Fujian, the news first reached the Cao Gang, Mrs. Cao packed her things overnight.

Originally thinking that their husband and wife are people in the world, it is inevitable that people will talk about not intervening too much in the marriage.But now the marriage will be delayed until next year, so what's the point of discussing it?The husband and wife rushed to the capital overnight, striving to marry their daughter-in-law as soon as possible.

Lin Daiyu secretly eavesdropped a few times and reported to Lin Yun.

"The Cao family wants to make it this fall, and my father wants to make it next fall. According to me, it's better to spend more time with me at home the next year."

In the past, I always made fun of marriage, but when it was time to set a date, I realized that I was reluctant to give up.Lin Daiyu teased a few words, and she became sad first.

Lin Yun stared at her frequently.

"I haven't cried yet, so you should cry first. Who cares about him next year or this year, who said that you can't go home when you get married? Even if Lu Yuan can't come back, can't you go?"

Accustomed to modern transportation, Lin Yun didn't feel that the distance was an obstacle even after traveling for many years, not to mention that the Lin family and Cao family were short of money, and they couldn't even afford a boat?

Lin Daiyu was blocked back before her tears fell to the ground, choking and choking while covering her handkerchief.

"Heartless, I shouldn't have counted on you! You don't care about not being able to see each other often, so you can see that you don't have me and my father in your heart."

"So, don't you have me and my father in your heart? I'm just talking about this before I'm married. How about you when you get married in the future? Don't you just look for the door, and the corner is your mother's house?"

The head can be broken and blood can flow, the sisters can't lose their bickering, and the two people's eyes are facing each other with sparks.

"It's shameless to put such words on your mouth!"

"You know, you know, you know everything in this world. Why don't you figure out which family you will marry in the future? It's better to ask me to prepare in advance, or you won't be able to give gifts if you marry far away."

"Bah! Don't women have to marry? I don't want to marry someone I don't like."

"If you don't marry, you don't marry. What are you in a hurry for?"

"You are in a hurry, you..."

Lin Daiyu wanted to turn back casually, but halfway through her words, she realized that Lin Yun was not urging her to marry.

"What did you say?"

"I said don't marry if you don't want to. My own sisters think it's good. In my eyes, no one is worthy of you."

Lin Yun shrugged, very casually.

"When I was a child in Feiyun Villa, I said that the eldest brother and the second brother must marry the best woman in the world. The sister-in-law is indeed very good, but the second brother wants to marry. Now it's you."

"Yeah, who else in the world is better than my brothers and sisters?"

Lin Daiyu muttered to herself, and sat down beside Lin Yun.

"You said that if I really don't want to marry, my father might agree?"

Seeing that Lin Daiyu's expression did not seem to be joking, Lin Yun thought for a moment and made a serious suggestion.

"You can sneak away to Fujian after I get married, don't worry, I won't despise you."

"Nonsense, what did I become when I followed you to Fujian? I'm telling you the truth, but I'm talking nonsense again. Tomorrow, I'll pick out ten or eight beautiful girls for you, and they'll all go as dowry!"

"If you dare to give it to me, you dare to accept it. Today I will be married as a dowry, and tomorrow I will be sent to the seaside to fish."

With such nonsense, Pian Linyun spoke it so naturally that people believed that she could really do it.

Lin Daiyu was overjoyed.

"That's a good deal. I'll pick it out for you tomorrow. There are many beautiful ones."

During the days when the entire capital was busy with the palace examination, the bustle of the Lin Mansion was not conspicuous, except for those who harbored ulterior motives.

Zhou Rui's family passed by the Dalin Mansion, heard some news from the neighbors on the roadside, bought some fruits and vegetables and returned to Jia's Mansion as if nothing had happened.

She was originally Mrs. Wang's dowry, and she was the most respectable in the house.But ever since Jia Zheng said he wanted to divorce his wife, there have been a lot of discussions in the house. Who would regard Mrs. Wang as a serious wife?Not to mention her dowry.

Put down the fruits and vegetables to wipe your hands, bypass the girls and women outside, and quietly go to Mrs. Wang's room.Make sure no one is there, call out in a low voice.

"Mrs."

Mrs. Wang, who had fainted on the bed, opened her eyes instantly and sat up impatiently.

"Well, what can I find out?"

Zhou Rui's family took out a bag of dim sum from his arms and handed it over, poured tea, and then said.

"Although we bribed the doctor to say that the wife was in a hurry and prevented the second master from divorcing his wife for the time being, the second master didn't take back his idea. Now he doesn't even enter the East courtyard, and only stays in the study room in the front yard. It shows that he is determined. He also specifically asked the doctor , I will definitely cure you."

The Wang family has fallen, and is now an ordinary wealthy family. What is the way out if they are retired?Will only be drowned in spittle.

There were only a few pieces of snacks available, so Mrs. Wang devoured them hungrily, and then drank the tea.I was still hungry, but I didn't dare to eat any more, so I endured it.

Thinking of how she changed from being the head wife to what she is now, she gritted her teeth with hatred.

"What about the Lin family, didn't I tell you to inquire about the Lin family? Without them, how could I have become like this? Since the in-laws can't do it, they are the enemies!"
