The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

Chapter 243

Emperor Xuande stayed leisurely in Yangzhou for more than half a month before he patted his ass and went to Suzhou!

Although Lin Hai's official position can be regarded as the second child in Yangzhou, he doesn't have to follow Emperor Xuande all the way like Lord Li.

I thought that after the emperor's visit to Hangzhou was over, the southern tour would be over, and the emperor would return to Beijing!But I didn't expect the emperor to slap his ass and get out of the way after dropping a few blockbusters in Hangzhou!

The first one is a few pick-ups from Jiangnan, who have been accepted by Emperor Xuande, and this official with good performance has been promoted!There is Mr. Li in here.

Master Li has been transferred to the central government!

Mr. Li was transferred to the central government. This is not surprising to everyone. The Yanyan Yushi is different from other official positions. It is held once a year, not every three years like other official positions.

Therefore, Lord Li served as well as Emperor Xuande did, and since his term of office has already expired, promotion is also conceivable.

The second one, the Zhen family, has officially taken over Jiangning Weaving!And the person who took up the post of weaving in Jiangning was the father of the concubine Zhen, the current head of the Zhen family.

Weaving, this is not only a lucrative position, but a position that must not be held by the emperor's confidants.

All of a sudden, officials big and small in Jiangnan looked at the Zhen family with envy and hatred.

But before their envy, jealousy and hatred were over, a bigger bomb came!

He appointed Lin Hai, a doctor of Lantai Temple in Yangzhou, to concurrently serve as the censor of salt inspection in the south of the Yangtze River.

You must know that the Xunyan Yushi is an official of the third rank, while Jiangning weaving is only an official of the fifth rank.

If you want to make money, the method of making money by the patrolling salt censor is more subtle, and the speed is not comparable to that of Jiangning Weaving.

So everyone envied and hated Lin Hai again.

Kong Jiayi was stunned when she knew this will!She knew that her master was very favored by Emperor Xuande, but she never expected to reach this level. After three years, he was promoted again!

But seeing Lin Hai came back with a sullen face.Kong Jiayi was not sure about this again, "Master..."

"It's okay, but the master has been promoted to a higher level, let the servants in the house celebrate, and give them a month's money!" Lin Hai said with a smile.

Kong Jiayi looked at Lin Hai's appearance as if nothing had happened, and ordered the maid beside her to go out and announce the news of a monthly reward, but she sat next to Lin Hai, "Master, you're promoted, aren't you happy?" Could there be something hidden in it that she didn't know about?

"Master, I'm happy, how can I be unhappy!" Lin Hai's eyes were a little cold.

Kong Jiayi opened his mouth.After all, he didn't say what he said, but just guessed secretly in his heart, not knowing what happened.Lin Hai was so unhappy.

"Master, it's getting late, how about I let them prepare food!" Kong Jiayi asked cautiously.

Lin Hai seemed to have regained his strength, "I'm fine, but I just received a letter from my father."

oh!Kong Jiayi glanced at Lin Hai, could there be something wrong with the capital?

"Father asked the emperor to return home before the emperor made his southern tour." Lin Hai said very calmly at this time.

"Ah!" Kong Jiayi was startled at first, and then realized that Master Lin was making way for brothers Lin Hai and Lin Shen.There are many unspoken rules about officialdom, and there are also unspoken rules that father and son serve as officials in the same dynasty. For example, father and son cannot hold real power at the same time, and they cannot be in the same department.cannot……

Master Lin was a cabinet minister before, and this is a real job.And Lin Hai holds the position of imperial censor, even if it is a real position.It's right to say that it's not a real job, so it's a sideline.

But now, as Lin Hai is getting more and more attention from the emperor, Master Lin decided to retire and return home for the sake of his son's future!After all, Master Lin is not too old now, there are people older than him.Many of them are still active in the imperial court!

"Is the emperor sure?" After Kong Jiayi said this, she wanted to slap herself twice.If it is not accurate, how did Lin Hai come to be the salt patrol censor? You must know that although the official title has the word censor, it is a real job.

Not to mention, Lin Hai concurrently holds the positions of doctor of Lantai Temple and censor of Yanyan.

"Naturally, maybe?" Lin Hai's mouth curved slightly.

amount……

Kong Jiayi opened his eyes wide.

"The emperor dismissed it! But he ordered father to be promoted to Doctor Ronglu of the first rank." Lin Hai said calmly.

Doctor Rong Lu.

What official position.

It sounds like Cong Yipin, but it is an official position of scattered officials, and even the early court is an official position that can be dispensed with.

Up and down!

Kong Jiayi instantly understood that if Emperor Xuande really approved Master Lin's proposal to resign and return home, it would give people a feeling of sadness.You know, Master Lin was the first batch of people who have been loyal to the emperor since Emperor Xuande came to the throne.

A cabinet scholar is exchanged for a patrol official, no one knows whether the account is a loss or a profit!

Everything will be tested by time.

******

Waiting for the low August of the next year, Kong Jiayi started to pack her things and prepared to take Lin Lingyu and Lin Yu to the north to attend Yan Shenggong's 60th birthday. By the way, she went to the capital again to see the lady from the Yuan family. Could she fall into Kong Jiayi's eyes and become the daughter-in-law of the Lin family?

When all the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers on the branches withered, after the whole family ate crabs, Kong Jiayi took a few children on the official ship of the Yanzheng government, and followed the water transport fleet that was more than ten miles long to the north!In a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, not only food but also taxes from the south of the Yangtze River will be brought to the capital by water transport ships. For example, the money from the Yanzheng government will also be sent to the capital.

Kong Jiayi took Lin Lingyu and Lin Yu to sit on the official ship of Yanzheng, which is not considered private use of the bus.

When the boat arrived at the pier in Shandong, the steward and servants of the Kong family had already come to pick it up with cars and sedan chairs.Kong Jiayi got off the boat with a group of people from the Lin family, and continued northward with the rest of the boat, heading for the capital.

The eldest son of the Kong family led the way on a horse, followed by Kong Jiayi, Lin Lingyu and Lin Yu in three big sedan chairs, followed by the small sedan chairs and carriages of the maids and nuns. They came towards the Kong family in a mighty way.

After entering the main entrance of the Confucian Mansion, a young servant stepped forward to carry the sedan chair and walked another distance, and entered the hanging flower gate inside. Kong Jiayi and the children got off the sedan chair. As soon as they turned around, they saw many maids, daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law. Surrounding Mrs. Kong, Mrs. Kong was staring at Kong Jiayi and Lin Lingyu and Lin Yu who came in.

Today, all the ladies and wives in the inner courtyard of the Confucian mansion were waiting in Madam Confucian's room, and the juniors were also very curious about what Aunt Lin, the grandmother's favorite, looked like, and they all sat holding their breaths.

The footsteps came from far to near, and I saw Kong Jiayi leading, followed by Lin Lingyu and Lin Yu, surrounded by a group of maids and mothers, walking in with a smile.

Just look at Kong Jiayi's golden silk flying phoenix hairpin with pearls on her head, emerald jade and hibiscus rings, silver silk pearl earrings on her ears, and a pink crystal peony necklace on her chest.The clothes are also newly made, and the upper body is made of soft smoky blue material, layered on top of each other. From a distance, it looks like a lake, revealing shades of green!While the skirt was swaying, the lotus and green lotus on the skirt seemed to be shaking!

The girls and the new daughter-in-law were all very surprised. It is said that Aunt Lin is over 30 years old, why does she look only in her twenties?Not only does she not look old at all, but she has a mature and charming charm that is not as mature as other girls, and her actions are like the wind blowing willows, which is indescribably beautiful and elegant.No wonder Mrs. Kong thinks about it every day and night, who would not feel pain for such a daughter.

Mrs. Kong can be regarded as having not seen her daughter for more than ten years. When she saw Kong Jiayi, she burst into tears. After seeing Mrs. Kong, the two mother and daughter sat down and had a good talk.

Kong Jiayi carefully looked at the people in the room, most of them were unknown to her, they must be the new daughter-in-law who married in the past few years, or the younger generation.

"Ling'er, Yu'er, get up and meet your grandmother." Kong Jiayi commanded from the side.

Madam Kong didn't wait for Lin Lingyu and Lin Yu to bow down, she stepped forward and hugged them and said: "It really breaks me, my old lady finally sees you. Look at this girl, she is just like a flower. This The small ones are like the golden boy under Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Today Lin Lingyu was dressed very well, wearing a light blue lily Ruyi jacket on top, a scarlet purple shell with dark patterns on the outside, and a long skirt embroidered with green smoked willow in water green.The jet-black hair is only tied into a simple and neat bun, with a few extremely delicate hairpins on it, and only two purple orchids on the rest.It's really pretty, clean and neat, showing the cuteness and sweetness of a girl of her age.

And Lin Yu!

She was dressed in a moon-white brocade with cloud patterns, covered with a powder-blue outer garment.A purse and Hetian jade pendant of the same color are hung on the waist, and a gorgeous golden crown inlaid with gold as leaves and rubies as flowers is on the head.Coupled with snow-white skin, pink lips like cherry blossom petals, Danfeng eyes, and willow-leaf eyebrows, it is almost indistinguishable between male and female.

The Lin family all have good looks, but no one would not praise their looks.

Mrs. Kong saw such two cute grandchildren, how could she not like it!

"You are cruel, you have been married for so many years, and you don't know how to come back to see me. I have pity on my two grandchildren, and I just saw each other today!" Mrs. Kong hugged Lin Lingyu and Lin Yu to Kong Jiayi pretended to be angry.

Kong Jiayi flattered her and said, "Yes, yes, it's all my daughter's fault. Didn't I come back to see you, mother?"

"I don't care about you, you clever talker. I will definitely take care of these two grandchildren." Mrs. Kong couldn't forgive her.

Kong Jiayi said with a smile: "Cheng Chengcheng, as long as you are not afraid, if your nephew and niece are jealous, just take it with you!"

Poor Lin Lingyu and Lin Yu were just sold by Kong Jiayi, a mother!
