Chapter 18
He also thinks clearly.I urgently need a son now, whether it is biological or adopted, inheriting the heir is one aspect, the most important thing is to be good to my daughter, so that she can be her reliance in the future.He only had this one daughter, so he was relieved to see her live well.But he is not young anymore, and he doesn't know how long he has to live. It would be better if he lived longer, but he has already realized that he has suffered some losses in the past few years.Then if I let go, and there is no one to support the family business behind me, wouldn't it be bullied to leave only this daughter?Therefore, he decided to use a three-pronged approach. On the one hand, he will take good care of himself, try to live as long as possible, and support his daughter.The other is to speed up the birth of sons and find adoptive heirs, so as to protect the daughter to the greatest extent.

Daiyu actually understands her father's thoughts a little bit, and she just wants to ensure that her future brothers can rely on her.This is also his fatherly heart.Daiyu was very moved, but there was no need to say it clearly.

"Father, don't worry, just take care of yourself, and my daughter will take good care of mother." Daiyu solemnly promised that she couldn't help with outside affairs, but she couldn't let her father worry about the future.

Lin Ruhai held her daughter in her arms, patted her lightly, and said, "It's not for you to take care of your mother. You are still young, the most important thing is to take care of yourself, stay healthy, and don't let daddy worry. Your mother has so many The servant girl is watching, you don’t need to be tired, just make up your mind on major issues. Dad knows that you have been sensible since you were a child, and no matter how sensible you are, you are still a child, not to mention that you are not in good health. Remember what your father said, don’t tire yourself , take good care of it."

"Well, I see, Daddy. The second aunt and the companion?" Daiyu suddenly remembered something.

"You don't need to worry about her, leave it to daddy! Dad doesn't want you to waste your mind too much. You did a good job today. But in the future, it's better to leave this kind of thing to daddy. Dad will deal with him well. "

A few days later, life in the Lin family was back on track.

Zhou Rui's family has also returned to Beijing.However, he was sent back to Beijing by the servants of the Lin family, accompanied by a letter.

Not two days later, someone in the court suddenly impeached the Rongguo Mansion, saying that the Rongguo Mansion violated the rules.This person is the Imperial Envoy of Youdu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. His surname is Xu, his first name is Wentao, and his style name is Zi'an.This Xu Wentao was the same year as Lin Ruhai, and he was the No. [-] in that subject. The No. [-] candidates in that year were all from aristocratic families, but he was a top-ranked high school student at a young age, which caused a wave of excitement at the time.From then on, Lin Ruhai met Xu Wentao and became a confidant.Lin Ruhai has been an official in the south of the Yangtze River these years, and although the two families haven't moved around much, they have been exchanging letters.

This time, it was Lin Ruhai who sent a letter to his friend asking for help.At that time, many officials in the capital could not understand Jia's behavior, but the emperor didn't say anything, and they didn't want to stir up trouble, they just warned their family members to stay away from Jia's dealings.Xu Wentao is one of them.It's just that Jia's family is the family of his good friend Lin Ruhaiyue in the past, so he doesn't talk to him.Now when I read a letter from a friend, how can I bear it?Immediately on the book, he denounced Jia's family for being unbearable.

It's also because Jia's family is too arrogant. Over the years, they have caused many troubles for their servants.Moreover, the servants of Jia's mansion are not tight-lipped, so the affairs of Jia's mansion are well known in the capital.What is the violation? It is obviously the first-class general's mansion, but there is still a plaque on the Rongguo Mansion, and many illegal items in the mansion have not been cleaned up.There is also a huge amount of silver owed to the state treasury without repayment, and there is no distinction between seniority and inferiority.When everyone saw that Xu Wentao was impeached, and someone took the lead, they were naturally not afraid of causing trouble, so they all seconded the proposal.

Literati are all very talkative and vicious. If you sing, I will appear on the stage, and the Jia family is simply a heinous crime. It makes people feel that if they don't punish them, they will be sorry for the public.As a result, a court meeting turned into a meeting of verbal criticism of Jia's mansion.

However, the people in Jia's house are still ignorant about this.It's no wonder that Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion and Jia She of Rongguo Mansion both have hereditary titles, but they don't have official positions, so they don't have to go to court.Although Jia Zheng, the second master of the Rongguo Mansion, has an official position, he is only a fifth-rank member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang. According to the system, officials below the fifth rank are not eligible to go to the court to listen to politics.This also led to the entire Jia family being kept in the dark, not knowing that a storm from the outside world was coming.

Especially the second wife, Jia Wang, is still doing her own daughter Yuanchun to be favored by the emperor, occupy a high position, and benevolent to the second wife, so that her son Baoyu can inherit everything in the Rongguo Mansion, and then get the Lin family's property into her hands. In the future, she can also dream of being an old Fengjun like Jia's mother, completely unaware that because of her own narrow-mindedness, there will be a storm against the second wife, and even a comeback will be delusional from then on.

When Jia's family was drunk and dreaming, the emperor issued an order.

"Old lady, tell old lady, the second master in front sent someone to say that the emperor's imperial decree has come, let the old lady take the ladies and girls to the front to receive the decree!" An eight or nine-year-old girl hurriedly came in to pass the message .

This girl was originally bought from outside, she is called Huazhu, she is not outstanding, in a place like Jia's mansion where there are many beautiful girls, she can only be considered delicate and pretty.It's just that the face is honest and steady.She used to be a girl beside Jiamu, but later Shi Xiangyun came and was assigned by Jiamu to serve Xiangyun. After Xiangyun left, Jiamu saw that she was stable, so she pointed it to her beloved grandson Baoyu.Baoyu changed her name to Xiren because of the saying, "The fragrance of flowers hits people, and the day is warm". After that, she became a big girl by Baoyu's side, and she gained Baoyu's trust.Now she is still serving by Jia Mu's side.

"Pearl, tell me more clearly. Why did the imperial decree come? Do you know what happened?" Jia Mu was watching her granddaughters and Baoyu, the phoenix egg, playing together in the room, when she suddenly heard Hua Zhenzhu's report, she felt a little confused. Can't react.

Speaking of which, the emperor would not pay attention to noble families like theirs, unless something serious happened.It's just that Mother Jia thought about it but couldn't think of anything recently that made the emperor pay attention to her family.Poor Jia Mu is getting old and doesn't care about the family anymore, and she doesn't know that she has been deceived by her daughter-in-law.At this time, she never thought that her daughter-in-law would do such a big thing, and even hurt her family.

Huazhu was dumbfounded.She only heard the woman say that the imperial decree had arrived, and then she hurried back to report the news, but she forgot to ask why.Now I can only falter and say: "I didn't say that. It's just that I was in a hurry to ask the old lady to bring all the girls and wives over there quickly. It shouldn't be a bad thing after all!"

"You girl, I don't know what to do. Now I don't know what it is, even if I make preparations in advance, I don't know where to start. What should I do?"

At this time, a slightly older girl standing behind the old lady spoke.Gentle and gentle comforting way: "Old lady, don't worry, I haven't heard anything about it recently. Maybe it's a good thing? Our eldest girl has entered the palace!" There was a sense of comfort in the words, which made Jia Mother's original anxious mood calmed down a little.
