The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

Chapter 240

"Master, why did you come back so late today!" Kong Jiayi said with a pout.

Lin Hai laughed loudly, and after hugging Kong Jiayi for a while, he smiled and said, "What's the matter, I'm jealous!" He straightened his expression, "I have business to do. I just sent a letter from the capital, saying that the emperor is making a southern tour. Already set off! No, Master Li and Master Liu asked me to discuss matters again!"

"The emperor has already started driving?" Kong Jiayi was a little surprised. At this time, half of the river to the north was frozen. According to Kong Jiayi's thinking, the ice had to melt before driving!

"That's not right, first go to Tongzhou in a carriage, and then board the boat in Tongzhou. By the way, the accompanying concubines this time are from the second-rank Shuyuan and above. Those who summon you, you have to be prepared."

Kong Jiayi looked at Lin Hai with a smile and said angrily, "What preparations are you making?" If the queen was accompanying her, Kong Jiayi might have to make some preparations, but these were the only ones.So what if she is a concubine of virtue, she is the daughter of the Kong family, let alone the emperor's concubine, even if she is the official wife and queen, she has to give Kong Jiayi three points.Compared with her family background, Kong Jiayi has never been afraid of anyone.

After Lin Hai squeezed Kong Jiayi's hand, he said with a smile, "I know you have the confidence, but looking at the face of the emperor, at least you can save face." As long as you have a good face, I believe there is no concubine who deliberately makes things difficult for Kong Jiayi.

None of the Kong family and the Lin family are vegetarians.

Besides, Lin Hai also inquired about it. The concubines who came with me this time were all from the scholarly family. In this case, I believe they also know the influence of the Kong family in Qingliu, so I am not afraid that Kong Jiayi will be punished when he goes. Difficult.

"I know, don't worry, I won't embarrass you." Don't look at Kong Jiayi's performance of putting Lin Hai first at home and responding to Lin Hai's words everywhere, it's just a superficial phenomenon!Those who have come into contact with Kong Jiayi outside.But knowing Kong Jiayi's means and skills, that is, Lin Hai behaved well and never took concubines. Kong Jiayi had no chance to use his means, so he acted a little submissive in front of Lin Hai!

Lin Hai smiled at Kong Jiayi's smug look, and finally said, "There is one more thing I need to discuss with you."

Kong Jiayi looked at Lin Hai suspiciously, Lin Hai never discussed with her about outside affairs, but about inner court affairs.Without the huge killer concubine, Kong Jiayi is also a capable and well-organized person, so Lin Hai never asks.How can I discuss it with him now! "Father, just speak up if you have something to say!"

"Father sent me a letter today, saying that she is the eldest daughter of Mr. Yuan, one of his official ministers, and wants to be married to Ye'er as his wife. He wrote to ask our opinion!" About the children.Lin Hai didn't know what to do, although he really wanted to say something to let them fall in love freely, but girls in this era are all staying in the backyard, even if they want to fall in love, there is no one to choose!

Kong Jiayi was taken aback. Lin Ye was only 11 years old this year, and he was still a child in Kong Jiayi's eyes.Why is it getting involved in marriage now!However, this was brought up by her father-in-law, and Kong Jiayi couldn't refuse bluntly, "How old is Ye'er now! Father is worrying about his marriage, and Miss Yuan's family. I haven't met her before. How old is she and what is her appearance?" , I don’t know how my temper is. I can’t tell you if my master is asking me about this right now?”

According to the customs of the high society of this world.The man is generally older than the woman, and Lin Ye is only 11 years old now.Isn't Miss Yuan's family younger than Lin Ye, she is still a child!Don't say that Kong Jiayi hasn't met anyone, even if she has, she doesn't want to agree to such a young girl.

why?

Because the little girl at this time has not stabilized in all aspects, there is still a possibility that she will grow crooked, so Kong Jiayi has to guard against it, she doesn't want to order her son a troublemaker.

"I think so too, but since my father has already written to ask, there must be something special about that girl! Isn't it her father-in-law's [-]th birthday next year! Why don't you go to Beijing by the way and have a look? It's excellent, and it's better to book it early." In fact, deep down in his heart, Lin Hai is still very optimistic about this Miss Yuan's family, after all, it's the person that Master Lin Jiang has his eyes on, even if it's bad, it's not too bad.

Kong Jiayi nodded, "That's fine!" The children of the left and right families are still young, so it's okay to delay for a year.

Kong Jiayi also knew what Lin Hai meant, if it was a good one, Kong Jiayi also felt that it would be good to book it early, and her son had to want the best.

"Speaking of this, I also have something to discuss with the master?" After talking about the eldest son, Kong Jiayi couldn't help but think of the eldest daughter.

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Ling'er is not young anymore, I wonder if I should clean up a yard for her to live in alone!" Although it is said that the aristocratic family values ​​boys more, it is also very important for girls, especially daughters-in-law , because the daughter has been well-bred, finding a strong husband's family is also a help for my family.

Looking at the Wang family in the original book, although Wang Ziteng is motivated and smart, if the Wang family hadn’t married one of their daughters to the Jia family and the other to the Xue family, it would have been impossible for the Wang family to rise so fast. On the one hand, there is the wealth of the Xue family, and Wang Ziteng himself is quite powerful, so the Wang family can become the leader of the four major families.

When it comes to raising his daughter, Lin Hai usually doesn't intervene. In fact, it's because he doesn't know how to educate his daughter. After all, in order for a daughter to marry happily in the future, she must not be out of tune with this era, and must conform to the aesthetics of this era. He also doesn't want his daughter to be looked down upon by others, or unhappy after marriage. You can't make people look down on her."

Kong Jiayi pushed Lin Hai, "You don't need to say that, by the way, someone sent a post during the day today, saying that Lin Chang's wife, Jia Shi, gave birth to her an eldest daughter, and I have already made the decision to reply." , said that you are busy with picking up the driver recently, so you won’t go to congratulate yourself, the congratulatory gift has already been sent over!”

kindness! ?

Jia gave birth to a daughter for Lin Chang?

chap!

Lin Hai became excited instantly. Doesn't this mean that sister Lin was born!

Although Lin Hai didn't like the Jia family very much, he still had a good impression of Sister Lin. Who told Lin Daiyu to be named Lin instead of Jia!

Eccentricity is a bad habit of all people.

Before Lin Hai could speak, Kong Jiayi said to himself: "It's really pitiful to talk about the grand nephew of Chang. It's such a great age to have a child and a daughter. That Jia is really virtuous!" It was full of disdain.

Just as the family of meritorious deeds feels poor when they look at the family of scholars, the family of scholars also feels that they are all tacky and nouveau riche when they look at the family of meritorious deeds.

According to the status of the Lin family and the Kong family in the capital, few people would dare to embarrass Kong Jiayi in front of her, but it happened that Jia Min touched the scales. When everyone met several times, they would belittle others , Raising one's own identity.

It doesn't matter if there are other sisters-in-law, after all, among Lin Chang's contemporaries, he is indeed the only wife who has the highest status.But it happened that there was Kong Jiayi among them. No matter what it was, seniority or family background, Kong Jiayi would always overwhelm Jia Min. In this way, it sounds like Jia Min looked down on herself to Kong Jiayi!

So this beam is also knotted!

Later, Jia Min couldn't have a child by himself, so it was better for a concubine to have a child, which made Kong Jiayi look down on her!

Her situation is different from Jia Min's. She gave birth to Lin Hai's eldest son, and it was Lin Hai who didn't want a concubine.

Kong Jiayi didn't care what other people said behind their backs after they left, but in front of Kong Jiayi, everyone could only say that Lin Hai and Kong Jiayi were husband and wife.

"Whether she is virtuous or not is none of your business! It doesn't matter if she doesn't have a son. Lin Chang's uncle now has three grandchildren, so it's fine to adopt one of them to him. Besides, didn't they say that flowers bloom first The result! Maybe there will be only one second child, and the left and right Lin Chang will not be broken!" Lin Chang is not the original of the original work.

He was indeed his father's only son, but his father was not his grandfather's only son!There is an uncle on the top, and a third uncle on the bottom, so it is impossible to break the incense.Especially his uncle's three grandsons, Lin Chang really has no sons in the future, so if his uncle adopts one for him, I believe his uncle will not say anything, after all, he is not his grandson after all, and he can still settle a grandson's family property Problem, why not do it!

Lin Hai sometimes thought of certain things in the original work, and he also searched for information for future use.

For example, this matter of adoption.

When he was a child, Lin Hai just felt that because he was estranged from the Suzhou Lin family and didn't know his true nature, the original owner was unwilling to adopt him.But later, Lin Hai didn't think so anymore!

I am afraid that another reason is because of family property problems.

Money is always so touching. Although the Lin family is a scholarly family, there are also mixed people, such as the family Lin Hai met when he went to Suzhou last time.

According to Jia Min's intention, and with Jia's mother on the sidelines, they definitely don't want to hand over such a large amount of property they have earned through hard work to others.It would be better if he was a concubine, after all, he has half of the blood, but what is an adopted son, he is a relative at a good level, but a stranger is nothing at all.

Not to mention others, even him, he is not willing.

Furthermore, Mother Jia said that the second son of Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu had adopted the Lin family and inherited the Lin family business. Could the original owner and Jia Min not be tempted?

Then, there was a tragedy...
