The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 21 Apologize
Seeing that she knew she was wrong, Lin Ruhai rubbed her daughter's little head and said, "Apologize to the third elder brother later, you know?" Although the prince suppressed the matter just now, Lin Ruhai also knew that the third elder brother must be dissatisfied .If this is the case, the account will most likely be counted on the fourth elder brother in the future.Daiyu nodded obediently, Lin Ruhai said with a gratified smile, "This is Daddy's precious Yu'er."

When we arrived at the living room, some girls had already prepared hot tea for the guests.Because all the guests were men, Jia's mother did not bring out the female relatives, but ordered Jia Zheng, Jia She and his brothers Jia Zhu and Jia Lian to entertain them, and called Baoyu away, leaving Yuanchun behind.Besides Daiyu, a child like this, Yuanchun was the only female relative present in the hall.Lin Ruhai's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say much.Putting Daiyu to stand on the ground, Daiyu obediently walked in front of Yinzhi and said crisply: "Third brother, I'm sorry, it was Daiyu who behaved rudely just now, please forgive me." The child spoke the words of an adult, On the contrary, he said it decently, but it just added a little bit of humor.Lin Ruhai also said: "I'm a low-ranking official who has no way to teach a girl, and I still look at the third elder brother Haihan. She will be punished severely when she goes back." Daiyu pouted her small mouth and looked at her father pitifully.The third elder brother also knows that Lin Ruhai is highly valued by Huang Ama, even if the matter today goes to Huang Ama, Huang Ama will not say anything.Now Lin Ruhai personally apologized again, and he would look petty if he insisted on holding on.Then he laughed and said, "Master Lin is too worried. Yu Gege is still a little brother, why would Brother Ben care about children." Lin Ruhai clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, Third Brother."

"I heard that Mr. Lin will leave Beijing to take up his post in a few days. The Yandao censor is related to the taxation of the Qing Dynasty. It can be seen that Huang Ama has a lot of trust in Mr. Lin." Yinfeng laughed.

Lin Ruhai smiled lightly and said: "His Royal Highness is absurd. It is our honor to be a minister to share the worries of the emperor." Yinfeng picked up the teacup and said, "It is inconvenient for Mr. Lin to leave the capital alone, so I will replace the wine with tea. I wish you all the best." Lin Ruhai quickly picked up the teacup and said, "Thank you, Prince."

In the evening, in the master's bedroom of the Lin Mansion, Jia Min asked while being a female celebrity, "Why did His Highness the Crown Prince and the third elder brother go to Jia's house today?" As for His Royal Highness..." Shaking his head, Lin Ruhai didn't continue.Jia Min is not an ignorant girl in a boudoir, so she understands the reason behind this, and she couldn't help but sighed softly: "The emperor is really serious, he insists on sending you to some kind of salt road. Who would not be envious of such a fat servant?" ?” Lin Ruhai said with a helpless smile: “It is precisely because this salt road is the only fat vacancy in the world that the emperor dare not send people there at will.” In the past few years, the Mingzhu and Suo’etu regimes, the elder brother and the prince The contradictions between them are becoming more and more prominent.To know who gets this errand is equivalent to controlling most of the national treasury.No wonder Kangxi was careless.

"Your Highness the crown prince is too impatient." The emperor is still in his prime and he blatantly wins over courtiers like this. How can the emperor not look at it with grudges?

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this matter may not be the attention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself."

Jia Min obviously also thought of the one behind His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Now that Mingzhu has failed, I'm afraid he can live a peaceful life in his old age. Suo'etu's fate is probably worse than Mingzhu's." Lin Ruhai said calmly.Perhaps compared to Nalan Mingzhu, Suo'etu, a powerful minister close to Kangxi, and Lin Ruhai, who has been on the sidelines, knows the emperor in the Qianqing Palace better.In Kangxi's eyes, nothing in this world is more important than imperial power. The reason why he can tolerate it is because these things have not threatened the imperial power. Once it exceeds his bottom line, the king's thunderous methods are absolutely unacceptable.

"Then let's..." Jia Min looked at Lin Ruhai worriedly, the prince is the king, and they are the ministers.

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "What are we? We are the emperor's courtiers. His Royal Highness the crown prince can't count for a day if he doesn't sit in that position. The emperor needs only one word...pure." What the emperor needs and trusts is pure ministers. As long as they don't cling to the prince and form a party for personal gain, other emperors can tolerate it.

Jia Min was a little relieved, but soon frowned again.She thought of the Jia family, how could the prince appear in the Jia family by such a coincidence?Mother... What will the future of the Jia family look like?
Lin Ruhai saw his wife's worry in his eyes, but it's a pity that there are too few people in Jia's place who can understand it.Even the old lady couldn't help thinking of such and such ideas for the sake of Jia's power, but there was nothing he could do.Gently patted Jia Min's shoulder and said softly: "You are not in good health, don't think too much." Knowing that her husband was comforting herself, Jia Min smiled lightly and nodded, "I am just a married woman now. Daughter, how can I control so much, as long as my Yu'er is good, I can't control the rest."

Rao was calm and gentle, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, "You still talk about your precious daughter, do you know what good things your daughter did at Jia's house today?"

Seeing him like this, Jia Min also became curious and said: "When I was walking, Yuan girl looked at Yu'er's eyes a little weirdly, could it be that Yu'er really did something extraordinary?" Lin Ruhai told Jia Min about what happened in Jia's garden during the day After saying it again, Jia Min looked at Jia Min dumbfounded without any surprise.After a long time, Jia Min sighed: "This girl really needs to be disciplined. How dare she hit the third elder brother with a snack?" Lin Ruhai said: "Isn't it your daughter? You haven't seen her righteous appearance In the end, when the crown prince and the third elder brother were leaving, I saw her squinting at others." Jia Min said repeatedly: "This girl must teach the rules well when she returns to the south of the Yangtze River. If she is so young, she will be lawless and grow up?" Lin Ruhai He smiled and said, "Isn't it lawless when I was young?" I didn't know many things when I was young, so I guess I just swept it away.In another ten years, no one will be so naive again.

Jia Min made up her mind to teach Daiyu the principles and rules of life when she returned to the south of the Yangtze River. Lin Ruhai smiled and found the pitiful life of her little girl very interesting in the future, so she didn't stop her.

In the same late night, Yin Zhen did not fall asleep either.Sitting alone by the window with a book in hand, looking at the sky in a trance.Tonight's night sky is starless and moonless, with gusts of cold wind blowing in through the window, Su Peisheng silently took the fox fur cloak and put it on for him, whispering: "Si elder brother, be careful of catching a cold." Yinzhen nodded. Talking, as if something in the dark sky outside attracted him.Yinzhen still heard the clear and clear child's voice during the day, "Those who bully brother are all bad guys! Yu'er hit him!" A faint smile spread on his lips, gradually getting bigger and bigger, and finally finally let out a low smile. Come on.Even if he knew that Yu'er was not doing good to the third elder brother, even if he knew that the third elder brother might blame him for this matter, it still couldn't prevent him from smiling from the bottom of his heart.
