Toughness

Lin Mansion.

After everyone left, the family of five sat together and had dinner quietly.

Eat without talking and sleep without talking.

"Bah chirp, bah chirp~" The little yellow cat was the exception, eating meat and soup in large gulps, and the food was extremely sweet.

Cat's happiness is that simple.

After the meal, everyone washed their faces and rinsed their mouths under the service of the maid.

Lin Ruhai seemed to remember something and asked: "Min'er, what do you mean by the long history today?"

Jia Min dismissed it: "What's the point? It's just a good show. In the eyes of those who want to fight for power, everyone is a pawn.

Doing this not only allows us to see his sincerity, but also makes people today have a grudge and doubt us.

It's a pity that Xue Pan, there is no one left in the Xue family."

Lin Ruhai nodded slightly, convinced that the husband and wife were of the same mind and had seen too much in Lianghuai. They could easily see through these small tricks.

The most important thing is that they only want to do practical things for the people and the world, and are not interested in Conglong's merits at all. Only then can they see clearly as an outsider.

"The imperial edict has arrived."

Manager Chen came in with a red face, smiled and said: "Master Lin, Mrs. Lin, I have an edict."

"The humble minister accepts the order."

"My wife accepts the order."

…

Jia Mansion, middle hall.

Jia Baoyu squatted under Jia Mu, acting cute and trying her best to please her.

As his good brother, Xue Pan had a deep brotherly love, and he was beaten today. Although he did not dare to stop him at the time, it was necessary to visit his home.

The old lady touched Baoyu's forehead, her face full of kindness. According to the ancestor's dream, this was the hope of the Jia family. But why did the ancestor never appear again after the dream?

"My dear, I have to criticize you. When I went to your uncle's house today, why were you like a little monkey, unable to make up your mind for a moment? Have you forgotten what Sister Yuanchun told someone to bring back a letter the day before yesterday?

If you can win your uncle's favor, it will be easy to rise to prominence." The old lady scolded with a smile.

But Jia Baoyu smiled playfully: "Oh, old lady, you are such a fairy, how can you be like those common people outside? Let's just live in peace, wealth and honor.

Aunt Min is my biological aunt. If I ask for something from her in the future, will she still refuse?

Moreover, my uncle is a third-grade man, which is far from his first-grade uncle. Don’t worry, I will worship him again when he reaches the first grade."

Jia Mu nodded, too.

She has treated Jia Min, her daughter, very well since she was a child, and she did not even make things difficult for her son-in-law, Lin Ruhai.

As long as he is alone, if necessary, he will personally come forward to ask Lin Ruhai to do something. Whether it is for benevolence, justice, filial piety, or Lin Ruhai wants to continue to advance, he has to take care of his own face.

In this world, no matter whether it is an official or an emperor, if the reputation of being unfilial spreads, his life will probably come to an end.

After thinking about it, Mother Jia nodded Jia Baoyu's forehead: "Everyone is like you, you really have no worries. You only know how to joke with the sisters, eat when you are hungry, sleep when you are sleepy. In a few years, I am afraid it will still be like this, after one o'clock

Don't worry about anything.

I usually tell you not to listen to reading, but this book has its own beauty, and this book has its own golden house. When you become successful, what kind of girl do you want?"

Jia Baoyu didn't take it seriously: "Hey, grandma, I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry. And I can live a day-to-day life with my sisters. It's over when I die. There's nothing to worry about afterward."

If you are successful and famous, like Uncle Lin, you can't see your children more than once throughout the year, leaving Sister Lin as pitiful and alone at home, then I'm not willing to do it!"

Thinking of Sister Lin, her granddaughter, Jia Mu sighed.

Today, she intentionally or unintentionally brought up the matter of getting the two families closer. With Jia Baoyu's appearance, character, knowledge, and family background, she was more than good enough for her granddaughter. Why did the son-in-law refuse so directly?

Aren't you a good little guy like me?

Although Baoyu has no ambition, he still likes to play with his little sisters. But as a man, once he has a family, his mind will be settled and he will work hard to make progress.

After passing the imperial examination, with the power of the Jia family and the Lin family, will it be easy to get promoted and make a fortune?

Besides, although this son-in-law is powerful, as Baoyu said, he is only a third-rank man so far. And Baoyu will inherit the title of first-class general in a few years.

It is also possible that with the help of the connections accumulated by generations of princes of her Jia family, this son-in-law's official position could be promoted to the same level as that of Prince Teng.

Don’t know how to praise!

"Old lady, old lady, the great news is that Uncle Lin and Miss Third have both been promoted. Uncle Lin is the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. From the first rank, Miss Third has been ennobled to the first rank, and the Lady of the country has become the Jinwu Guard Qianhu.

The gate of Lin Mansion is blocked by visitors!" Granny Li rushed in and said happily.

As the wet nurse of Second Master Bao, although she was bullied by Miss Lin when she went to the Lin family to serve him, she suddenly felt that it was her fate with Miss Lin.

As for scolding herself, doesn't it show that Miss Lin is straightforward, straightforward and simple?

Well done!

First product? Jia Mu was silent.

The efforts of several generations of the Jia family for more than a hundred years seem like a joke at this moment.

Jia Baoyu fell into deep thought, then An Ran.

Not a big problem.

He is also the younger brother of the current imperial concubine and the emperor's brother-in-law, so he happens to be the perfect match for Sister Lin.

Thinking of Sister Lin's astonishing talent and otherworldly appearance, the young man's heart moved. At this time, my uncle and aunt were promoted, and they could just wait for his father to come back from the next court to propose marriage.

When the time comes, double happiness will come to your door, wouldn’t it be beautiful?

…

Ningxiang Tower.

Different from the courtyards of general prostitution halls, when you enter the building, you will see a garden surrounded by rockeries, lotus ponds, trees, cloisters and pavilions. The layout is not chaotic, but elegant and neat.

Most of the women in the building are involved in literature and art, are familiar with literature and history, can recite poems, are good calligraphers, and can write small regular script, are good at painting orchids, and can play the piano.

In addition, they attach great importance to color, emphasizing natural beauty. They want a jade-colored body, jade-like skin, white female jade-like fat, and they also need to be slim, pretty, petite and exquisite.

On the bed, Xue Pan was a little silent after the incident, and then asked in a deep voice after a while.

"How do you calculate the money?"

It was his first time to visit such a high-end place because he had the reputation of the Prince of Beijing.

The woman smiled and saluted: "Master, one tael."

Xue Pan was very surprised: "Why are your prices so affordable?"

"It's one or two." The woman said softly, her voice soft and waxy.

When Xue Pan heard this, he felt relieved. His sister had warned him that the cheap things are often the most expensive. Then he thought carefully and figured out how he had just shown off his glory.

After a while, Xue Pan took out a small ingot of silver from the pocket of his sleeve: "Here, here you go, five taels."

The woman took the silver, weighed it for a while, smiled politely, then took out a piece of broken silver from her sleeve and handed it back.

"Mr. Xue, I gave you too much. Here are four taels for you."

Xue Pan:.

Lin Mansion.

Since the imperial edict came down, everything has been like a bustle.

Both Guangdong and Guangxi are in the Lingnan region, and their terrain, land, and customs are very different.

Guangxi has rugged mountains and deep and dense forests, which prevent the army from penetrating into them. The mountains are full of caves and caves of the Yao and Tong tribes. The various ethnic groups live in interlocking situations, and there are many conflicts.

The ten prefectures in Guangdong are pretty good. Only Zhao, Gao and Lian prefectures are intertwined. Only Suixi County in Leizhou Prefecture is mountainous. Only Lianzhou Prefecture in Guangzhou Prefecture is close to it. The rest are coastal to the sea. The terrain is easy and there are no dangerous mountains and forests. It is very rich.

The Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi was the real official of the feudal territory. According to the imperial edict, Lin Ruhai's basic responsibilities were: to govern the army and the people, to comprehensively control the civil and military affairs, to inspect and promote officials, and to repair and order the territory.

Moreover, all strategies and systems of the imperial court need to be communicated to the governor first, and then implemented to the local level.

In other words, Lin Ruhai made all the decisions in Guangdong and Guangxi, military affairs, official promotions, and financial matters.

The only drawback is that it is too far from the center.

This is the result of the real compromise with the Emperor today.

The Supreme Emperor could delegate power, but he would never delegate power to the central government. Not long after, Lin Ruhai received an order from the Ministry of Personnel and immediately went to Guangdong and Guangxi to take up his post.

It seemed that no one in the court wanted the couple to stay here. The handover of power and responsibilities that originally took several months was completed in just half a month.

Outrageous.

In the yard, Lin Ruhai looked at her precious daughter and son with great nostalgia.
