Red House Shoufu

Chapter 358

Most of the houses of Jia's family in Beijing gathered in Rongguo Mansion today, especially the younger generation, who had already pledged their allegiance to Jia Lian more than two years ago.

According to Lin Shu's suggestion, Jia Lian divided these people into several categories, such as those who were proficient in martial arts went to the guards of the Imperial Army, those who were a little proficient in writing and ink went to work as errands in various yamen in central Beijing, and those who were proficient in calculations were arranged to work in various departments of Jia's family. kind of shop...

Although these people have limited prospects and no grades, but with the support of the Jia family, they were basically pushed by Jia Lian to the positions of scribes and team leaders within two years.

It can be said that at the expense of tens of thousands of taels of silver, the Jia family spread their younger generation of clan members all over the entire capital.Whenever there is a slight change in the capital, Jia Lian can receive the news immediately so that he can respond accordingly.

"This Miaoyu is interesting. She is not calm in the Buddhist sect, but she doesn't know who is embarrassing her behind the scenes. It's just a weak woman who actually made the whole Mani Academy embarrass Master Xuanzhen's disciples."

Jia Lian narrowed his eyes slightly after listening to Jia Yun's report.I didn't expect my family's unintentional actions to spoil other people's calculations.

But he didn't care about such a trivial matter. Although the Mani Temple was a great temple in Beijing, it didn't dare to make a fuss with the Rongguo Mansion.He was just a little curious why someone would target such a weak woman and think of ways to force Miaoyu to leave the capital.

Jia Yun said respectfully: "It's strange to say that my nephew heard that Master Miaoyu is the eldest daughter of an official family in Suzhou, but Aunt Lin has never heard of any daughter who was sent to practice in the temple. Uncle, with the status of the Lin family in Suzhou, it is impossible not to find out which family Master Miaoyu was born in. Do you think it is strange?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "It's not surprising. After all, Cousin Lin left home to Beijing when she was young, and she has been keeping filial piety at home since then. I don't know if these are normal. Just ask Cousin Lin in your spare time."

"What the second uncle said is that it's my nephew who wants to go wrong."

Jia Yun laughed and reminded: "However, the Grand View Garden is a place for our mother and mother to visit relatives. People who live in the garden must still be innocent. If bad people enter the garden, they may harm the mother. The second uncle has to guard against it. My nephew sees, Second Uncle, please think twice."

"You are a smart person!"

Jia Lian praised her, and then said: "Brother Yun, pay more attention to the rumors in the market recently, and if there is anything about our family, please let me know in time. Do it well, and I will find an opportunity in the future to recommend you to be a clerk in the household department." .”

Jia Yun was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express her thanks.He lost his father since childhood and was raised by his widowed mother.The only proficient thing is the way of numerology. Although there is no grade or rank in the household department as a clerk, it can be regarded as promising, and it is absolutely no problem to support one's own family.After a few more years, maybe he can become a ninth-rank petty official.

……

"Ah puff puff..."

As soon as Lin Shu entered the gate of Rongguo Mansion, there was a four-legged gold-swallowing beast blowing bubbles in his arms.

It hung around his neck and kept talking baby language, but unfortunately he just couldn't understand it.

"I don't know what happened today. The elder sister has been looking for me with joy since the morning, and your sister-in-law can't even hold her. Since my cousin is here, take my sister for me. I will go to the front to meet a few elders. "

Liberated Jia Lian laughed, and left the study, leaving Lin Shu staring at Qiao in his arms in a daze.

Daddy went online, so Lin Shu had to play with sister Qiao. Fortunately, sister Qiao was playing like a caterpillar in Lin Shu's arms, and she looked quite happy. Gossip.

Ever since Gao Wanjiang expressed his heart to the Lin family, he did not deliberately force the Lin family to express his opinion, nor did he disturb Daiyu's normal life too much, but just sent his heart silently, which made Lin Shu very satisfied.

If he used his status and status to force it, Lin Shu would definitely try his best to deal with the Zhongshun Palace, even if it hurt both sides.

However, Gao Wanjiang is a proper gentleman, this man is a bit too upright in reading, he has always adhered to the way of a gentleman, and has taken a completely different path from his father Gao Yongheng's temperament, but he also makes the emperor and his son very fond of it.

As members of the royal family, dudes and gentlemen are the ones who can most reassure the king.What kind of virtuous king or great general king is looking for death.

According to Lin Shu's opinion, Gao Wanjiang will be a mascot of the royal family in the future. It is best to get a good reputation and win the hearts of the royal family in the officialdom. He will definitely be safe and stable for the rest of his life.

"Why does Brother Jinyu look at me like this? Is there something wrong with me?"

Seeing Lin Shu looking him up and down all the time, Gao Wanjiang thought there was something wrong with his clothes, but he didn't find anything wrong after looking at him, so he asked wonderingly.

Lin Shu smiled and said: "I heard that His Royal Highness is very busy recently, whether it is a poetry meeting or a literary meeting, Yingying Yanyan on the Nanchi Painting Boat is probably still waiting for His Royal Highness to pass by, why do you have time to come to Rongguo Mansion? "

"I didn't, who said that, don't talk nonsense! That's just a joke!"

Gao Wanjiang denied throwing out three times in a row, and swore, patted his chest, "I am clean and self-sufficient. A few days ago, at the Nanchi Poetry Fair, apart from drinking and composing poems, I was talking about scriptures and righteousness with a few new talents from Shuntian Mansion. Can you tell me the truth?" You can't blame me!"

"just kidding……"

Lin Shu laughed out loud, causing the little girl in his arms to giggle too.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, Yuanyang came in and said that Jia Shishi invited Lin Shu to Rongxi Hall, and had something to ask.Just when Jia Lian came back, Lin Shu carried the child and Yuanyang to Rongxi Hall.

"I don't know why the old lady is looking for me?"

Yuanyang replied respectfully: "It's Master Miaoyu's business. The ancestors wanted to invite Master Miaoyu to stay in the garden. After learning that she was from Suzhou, I wanted to ask the uncle if he knew anything about Master Miaoyu's family."

It turned out to be a back tune!
But Lin Shu really didn't know about Miaoyu's family background, he had investigated this a long time ago.That year, he and Daiyu were keeping filial piety at home, and heard that there was a Master Xuanzhen who was proficient in innate divine calculation in Panxiang Temple outside the city. After inquiring a few times out of curiosity, he learned that Miaoyu in the original book was practicing in the temple.

Later, he inquired many ways, but he never found out the whereabouts of Miaoyu's parents.Lin Shu is a top existence in Suzhou Shilin, but he has never heard of any girl in the family of Suzhou officials who was sent to Buddhism to avoid disaster.

Just as she was thinking about it, she came to the Rongxi Hall, Daiyu and the others had already gone to play in the Xichun Courtyard, there was no one in the Rongxi Hall, otherwise it would be rude for Lin Shu, a foreigner, to go in.

"The younger generation pays respects to the old lady. I am busy with work and haven't visited the mansion recently. I hope the old lady is not to blame."

"Ah puff puff puff..."

"Hahaha, Lian'er is really too, he hid his leisure when he gave you the child."

Jia Shi said with a smile: "Yuanyang, take your sister to Feng girl, and I will talk to brother Shu."

Yuanyang stepped forward and took off the hanging sister Qiao from Lin Shu's body, and carried her out of Rongxi Hall regardless of her barking teeth and claws.

After Yuanyang went out, Jia Shishi asked seriously: "Brother Shu, did Yuanyang tell you the reason why I came to you?"

"It's about Master Miaoyu?" Lin Shu responded.

Just heard Jia Shishi nodded and said: "Originally, I was just looking for a resident monk to worship the gods and Buddhas, but I didn't want to cause a big trouble."

"Oh? Does the old lady have any concerns?"

"This Miaoyu is very similar to an old friend in the mansion, so I'm not sure."

Jia Shishi seemed very troubled, she explained: "Brother Shu also knows that our family is originally from Jinling, and we still have eight rooms in our hometown in Jinling. Weaving Cao Yin?"

"One of the saint's childhood companions, the one who has a very good relationship with the old man?"

Immediately, Lin Shu's mind came to mind what Lin Ruhai told him back then: If Cao Yin was still alive, he would not be able to take on the job of patrolling the salt censor in Yangzhou.

Jia Shishi nodded and continued: "Suzhou Zhizao is just a low-ranking official, but Suzhou Zhizao Mansion is not only the yamen of the inner government to manage court tributes, but also has the function of monitoring the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River. After Cao Yin died of illness, there was no one who could stand up to the family, so he was impeached and fell into the situation of being dismissed from office. This wonderful jade is very similar to the wife of Cao's family back then, the girl from the Li family who weaved in Hangzhou .”

"The Li family? Wasn't his family exiled to Lingnan because of corruption? The younger generation remembers that the only girl of the Li family married into Wei Guogong's mansion and died of illness in the first year of Zhide. Didn't the eldest son of Cao marry the concubine's granddaughter of Prince Yue, Lord Jing'an County? "

"Well, Cao Yun, the eldest son of Cao, had a relationship with the real eldest daughter of the Li family since he was a child. Later, the imperial decree went south to marry the Lord of Jing'an County. The Cao family did not dare to offend the Yue Palace, so they returned to the Li family's marriage. I never thought that the two of them had an affair long ago..."

Jia Shishi heaved a long sigh, and told an old story, which opened Lin Shu's eyes.

It turned out that Cao Yun and the daughter of the Li family had an affair long ago. After the marriage was given, the daughter of the Li family was already pregnant. For some reason, the Li family let her quietly give birth to a child.

The Li family knew about this matter, the Cao family knew about it, and even the Jia family knew about it vaguely. Only the Jing'an county lord knew nothing about it. Up to now, he and his husband-in-law Cao Yun have lived a peaceful and beautiful life in the palace of the capital.

According to Jia Shishi, the daughter of the Li family died of illness suddenly after giving birth to a child. Within a few years, the Li family was also involved in the turmoil of seizing the heir apparent.

"The old lady is saying that this Master Miaoyu is probably born to that girl from the Li family?"

Hearing Lin Shu's question, Jia Shishi nodded: "I invited you here to find out the details of this wonderful jade."

"It's hard!"

Lin Shu sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, the younger generation knew this master Miaoyu three years ago. Her master Xuanzhen Master is very famous in the south of the Yangtze River. The mage has a weird personality and will not make a move easily. The younger generation wanted to start with the only disciple under her seat. He originally wanted to find out what he liked, but he never thought that the background of this master Miaoyu is like a blank sheet of paper. Can't find out."

"Ugh!"

Hearing Jia Shishi's sigh, Lin Shu asked: "What is the old lady worried about? Regardless of whether she was born to a girl from the Li family or not, it's a thing of the past. If you want to come to Yue, the prince will not be with us because of this matter." Don't worry about it, don't worry about it."

"No, Brother Shu, you don't know, Prince Yue is not a troublemaker, but the trouble is that the Li family embezzled hundreds of millions of taels of money in the weaving mansion in Hangzhou, and the money disappeared without a trace when the Li family ransacked the house. Up to now, there are many people who are thinking about this money, including Prince Zhongxin's Mansion, the Zhen family, and the major families in Jiangnan."

Jia Shishi presided over the Jia family for several years, and Jia Daishan had close contacts with each family during Jia Daishan's stay. She knew a lot of these secrets, and had been thinking about this money for a long time.But she didn't want to become a thorn in the side of others just because she took in a girl.Because of this, she was in a dilemma between the two parties, and she couldn't decide to pay attention for a long time.

Lin Shu couldn't help laughing: "It's impossible for the embroidered guard to know about this matter, we dare not think about this money."

The old Jia Shishi blushed, and murmured in a very soft voice: "I didn't intend to take money, but I just can't bear the blood of the old man... I didn't get into the eyes of money... How can you think so... "

Lin Shu drank his tea silently, but his mind was still actively sorting out the information he just got.He asked, "Where does Miaoyu live now?"

"Oh, it's the mani courtyard in the west city, but I heard from Yu'er just now that the people in this mani courtyard are extremely repulsive to her, forcing her to prepare for two days to help the spirit and return to her hometown." Jia Shishi walked along the forest. Shu's words changed the subject and eased the embarrassment just now.

"Interesting, the Mani Court is the largest nunnery in the capital city, and there are so many dignitaries in the capital that they have the leisure to embarrass a little girl. It seems that someone is pushing behind, trying to force Miaoyu to leave the capital."

Lin Shu became interested in this matter. He had a feeling in the dark that Miaoyu's matter was definitely not just a few million taels of silver behind it, there must be other things, and these things had nothing to do with the capital There is a great connection.

He cupped his hands and said, "Since the old lady feels uneasy, then this junior will arrange for someone to go back to Suzhou to investigate."

"Then, do you think the matter of Miaoyu staying in the garden will have an impact on our family?" Jia Shishi also knew that Jia She was not around, and compared to Jia Lian, Lin Shu was better at brainstorming. one chip.

Lin Shu replied: "It is reasonable to say that one thing more is worse than one thing less. But since Master Miaoyu is most likely to be the blood of an old friend in the family, from a moral point of view, he should stay in the mansion, at least it is safer than her going back to the south alone. No matter who is planning for those money, can't the dignified Rongguo Mansion not keep an orphan girl?"

……

When Lin Shu walked out of Rongxi Hall, he met Jia Jing who had been invited.After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Jia Jing walked into the main hall of Rongxi Hall.

I don't know what Jia Shishi and Jia Jing said, anyway, at the beginning of the luncheon, Jia Lian said that Miaoyu was left in the mansion, and after two days, she began to settle in the nunnery in the provincial courtyard to worship the Buddha, for His Majesty and Empress pray.

In the Jingxi Moni Courtyard, the abbot of the temple, Master Jinghui sat opposite a young woman.

The woman's dress is simple and elegant, but it can be seen that the materials are all top-grade satin, and the hairpin inserted in the bun is also carved from white jade, which not only shows dignity, but also does not make people feel gaudy.

I only heard the woman say: "That bastard was invited by the Rongguo Mansion. If he is really left in the provincial hospital, our calculations will come to nothing. Master, do you have any other options?"

　A lot of people have been blocked recently, and some plots can't be written.I can only skip it quickly, and try to find a way to get back in the past few days.
