Red House Shoufu

Chapter 374

Two days had passed since the mid-autumn uprising in the capital city. Lin Shu had been tossing and tossing outside the city for many days. In addition, his body had suffered a lot in the past two years.

After the imperial doctor left the mansion, Daiyu once again sent people to the government office to ask Lin Shu for leave, and issued a thank-you order to the whole mansion, not allowing anyone to disturb Lin Shu's recuperation.

Of course, Wang Yuan, the future mistress of the Lin family, is an exception.

For example, today's autumn is crisp and sunny, Lin Shu is lying on a rocking chair in the yard basking in the sun, next to Wang Yuan who is peeling oranges, and the two of them enjoy the hard-earned alone time comfortably.

Daiyu was invited to Rongguo Mansion as a guest early in the morning, and it was heard that the old lady of the Jia family posted the post herself.

Wang Yuan peeled an orange, and with slender fingers, she brought a piece of orange to Lin Shu's mouth. Lin Shu, who was lazy with his eyes closed, seemed to smell something, and opened his mouth cooperatively to eat the orange and fingers together.

"Brother Lin, how can you do this?"

Wang Yuan's pretty face turned red in an instant, she withdrew her fingers and wiped Lin Shu's clothes pretending to be disgusted, and then gave Lin Shu a look.

Lin Shu laughed loudly, he didn't look like a sick person at all.He thought it was very interesting to tease Wang Yuan. It had been five years since the two met for the first time, and they had been engaged for two years. When they were alone, Wang Yuan still blushed at every turn. She was such a shy girl.

"Feed another one, today's oranges are very sweet!"

Lin Shu meant something, and as intelligent as Wang Yuan, she naturally understood what he meant.The two of them knew each other, Wang Yuan secretly looked at the gate of the courtyard, the gate was closed tightly, the servants of the Lin Mansion knew that they should have enough time and space to be alone at this time, and they would never come to disturb them.

Wang Yuan broke off a piece of orange and fed it to Lin Shu's mouth again. This time, she didn't eat it with her fingers, but Lin Shu still licked Wang Yuan's fingers.

snort!
With a coquettish snort, Wang Yuan stuffed the remaining orange into Lin Shu's hand: "It's all your fault, Brother Lin, eat it yourself!"

"How can this make me still a patient!"

Lin Shu covered his heart with his hand, and groaned: "Ah, I can't do it anymore, this hurts!"

Seeing Lin Shu winking and pretending to be in pain, Wang Yuan covered her mouth and smiled and said, "The imperial doctor said that elder brother Lin is in poor health and occasionally has a fever and headache, but he didn't say that his chest hurts. Besides, just now when you and Bai Jingjing were fighting for dried meat , you are very energetic, even Bai Jingjing can't beat you!"

"You don't understand this, it involves the issue of dignity, no matter how sick I am, I can't lose!"

Lin Shu looked at Bai Jingjing lying on the wall not far away, and said bitterly: "This cat is getting more and more wild, every time it gets some beef jerky, it can find it by looking for it. Look at the meeting in the morning. , with such a big piece of jerky in its mouth, it runs very fast. If I lose to it, wouldn’t it be worse than a beast?”

Wang Yuan was teased by Lin Shu and laughed straight away: "Okay, okay, I'll find you some beef jerky some other day. Now the Tatar market is going well, and the beef in Beijing is not a scarce commodity anymore. In my shop, beef is delivered every few days."

The Nine Borders Mutual Market is in full swing. Although the detailed rules of the Mutual Market have not been fully finalized, the general rules have been finalized.

Tea, porcelain, brocade, and iron pots from the Central Plains are very popular among herdsmen on the grasslands. Tatar cattle, sheep, horses, wool and Liaodong ginseng are also very popular in the capital.

The imperial court collected several 100,000 taels a month just for the commercial tax. This is just the beginning of the mutual market. When the news of the mutual market spreads to all over the world, the growth of commercial tax will definitely develop in a blowout style.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate sent several waves of censors to inspect the Nine Frontiers. After receiving reports from various places, Wang Qi once sighed at home. If he had known that the mutual market could bring such great benefits to the court, what would the Great Chu and the Tatars fight for? strength.

This sentence is naturally very one-sided. If you don't frighten the Tatars, they won't do business with you obediently.However, this sentence also shows the development and growth of the mutual market from the side. At least when the benefits obtained on the battlefield are not as good as those obtained from the mutual market, Tatar will never go to war with Da Chu.

Oala is having a headache about how they should spend this winter. The Tatars have already obtained enough grain from Dachu to survive the winter, and they can even sit in a warm tent and drink milk tea to watch Oirat's jokes.

The two talked about the mutual market from a piece of beef jerky that was missed by the cat, and from the mutual market to the relationship between Da Chu and Tatar, and then to the scenery of the grassland. It was a very good common topic.

Lin Shu not only has the worldview of his previous life, but also has received systematic education and the influence of the Internet, so he naturally has a clearer understanding of the world.

Wang Yuan is also from a scholarly family, and she has read as many books as those scholars who were killed from the examination room.Different from ordinary ladies, she, like Daiyu, has an extraordinary longing for knowledge.

Every time they were alone with Lin Shu, the time they spent talking about love was not as long as the time Lin Shuhao spent as a teacher.

"When we are free in the future, I will take you to the grassland to see the real beauty of the grassland!"

"Okay, Chilechuan, under the Yin Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the whole field. The sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the wind blows and the grass looks low, and cattle and sheep can be seen."

"What's so good about cattle and sheep? When that day comes, I will bend my bow and shoot big eagles, so you can see my bravery..."

……

Lin Shu steals half a day at home, spending time with Wang Yuan.

Daiyu smiled and sat beside Jia Shishi, listening to the old lady tell her about her plans for the children in the family.

Although the government has not fully determined the reward for this counter-insurgency, but according to the information obtained from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang are both in the third class.

Moreover, Jia Jing went out of the mountain temporarily to help Zhang Yue stabilize the guards in the Beijing camp, and at the same time assisted the prince in taking charge of the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace, and stationed in the Forbidden City during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is considered a great contribution.

After the emperor had a secret talk with Jia Jing, although no one knew what agreement the two had made, Jia Jing returned to Ningguo Mansion on the day after the capital was stabilized, continued his great career as an otaku, and awarded Jia Rong's holy decree on the second day Arrived at Ningguo Mansion.

You don't need to read too much about the content of the colorful imperial decree. Jia Rong, the successor of the Ningguo Mansion, was granted the title of Ningguozi, leading the military department doctor, and Zuo Weiwei Qianhu.

Gonghou Bozinan, I don't know how much more noble than the titles of those miscellaneous generals.Not to mention the title of Ningguo, which also means that the Ningguo Mansion has returned to the ranks of the top martial arts of Great Chu.

Ning Rong and Ning Rong were originally Ning Rong first and then prosperous, but with the passage of time, the status of the two prefectures has undergone fundamental changes.Not to mention that Jia Daishan was conferred the title of Duke again during the Longsheng period, which directly pushed the status of Rongguo Mansion to the front of Ningguo Mansion.

You know, the Ningguo Mansion is the direct line of the Jia family. Although Jia Jing didn't say anything these years, he has been holding a sigh of relief in his heart.

If the prince hadn't had a sudden accident back then, according to the original plan, Jia Jing at this time might have been conferred the title of Duke and Prime Minister, becoming the fourth Duke of the Jia family after the two ancestors and Jia Daishan.

His son Jia Zhen is not a thing, but fortunately his grandson Jia Rong is quite well-behaved, so that's it, a viscount is enough to make trouble for two or three generations.

Jia Rong's future has been properly arranged by the emperor and Jia Jing, and Jia Shishi can't help but think of the remaining brothers and sisters in the mansion.

Although Jia She had told her about the arrangements for the younger generation before, the old lady just couldn't let her mind go, and while Daiyu was here, she complained to Daiyu about Jia She's unreliability.

"Your eldest uncle has become more and more righteous in recent years. I have told him several times to make him worry about Lian'er..."

A few days ago, the old lady invited several old relatives to the mansion as guests. She probably saw that their great-grandsons were running all over the place. He had the idea of ​​giving Jia Lian a concubine.

After complaining to Daiyu for a few words, Daiyu kept smiling and didn't answer.As the old lady was talking, she also thought that it would be inappropriate to say this to Daiyu, an unmarried girl, so she changed the subject.

"Your brother's wedding is coming soon, is the mansion ready?"

Daiyu felt at ease, and replied: "The basic arrangements have been made. Uncle asked the two elder brothers to help out in the mansion. Even the wedding banquet has been set for the past two days. Huibin Building and Jinhua Building will be in charge until then."

"These two are good. When Duke Yansheng came to Beijing a while ago, the Kong family invited these two to prepare a banquet. It was indeed a good choice."

Jia Shishi praised a few words, and then said: "Then did your elder brother say that after getting married, will he take a wedding leave and go back to the South?"

Daiyu sighed: "Originally, I planned to ask for leave and go back to the south after getting married, but my brother and Mr. Qian Ge accidentally talked about it once before. According to Mr. Qian Ge, the imperial court intends to let my brother preside over the negotiation of the detailed rules of the mutual market in the next spring. I'm afraid I won't be able to go back. My brother said that when this negotiation is over, he will take the initiative to ask to return to the Jiangnan side, which is an experience."

According to common sense, an official wanderer like Lin Shu would return to his hometown after getting married.The second is to add soil to the graves of the deceased relatives, and do their best to be filial.

However, it was an eventful time, and Lin Shu had a prosperous life in the center in the past two years, and he did a lot of big things.However, due to the lack of qualifications, most of them are taken over by experienced officials after the start, and he follows behind to gain experience.

So things are going well, and the promotion is quite fast, but there are many and complicated things to do at the same time, and many things have not yet reached the final stage, so it is really difficult for the court to release people for a while.

Fortunately, basically many things have been on the right track. Lin Shu summed up what he had done in the past two years at Qian Qianli with his fingers. From the current point of view, only the mutual market needs him to finish.

As for returning to serve in the south of the Yangtze River, Lin Shu has long been planning the idea of ​​the ruling party.

Lizhou and counties are not included in the cabinet, and Lin Shu has not held any post in the local government except for a short period of time in the Daming Mansion, which will be a big disadvantage for his future official career.

Moreover, after Jia Amnesty drove Shui Rong to the Japanese country, the Japanese pirates in the south of the Yangtze River had no time to come to Dachu to stir up troubles in a short time.

Lin Shu planned to take advantage of this opportunity to put the sea trade that had not been fully opened before on the table again, and have a good fight with those smuggling families in the south of the Yangtze River.

For example, the officials of Nanzhili Chief Envoy are quite good. It may be difficult for a provincial chief envoy to participate in politics, but it should not be a big problem to join the Songjiang prefect from around the third rank. After all, he still has a third rank on his body. What about prose.

When he won the prefect position of Songjiang Mansion, he planned to start a large-scale maritime trade in Songjiang Mansion, which is near the sea, and turn the Oriental Pearl of his previous life into the largest port in the Eastern Continent hundreds of years in advance.

Of course, Daiyu didn't know these things so clearly, she just knew that her brother had high expectations for returning to Jiangnan to work.For this reason, he even went to Qian's mansion to grind for a long time, and finally spent several first drafts of the reform strategy in exchange for Qian Ge's support.

Jia Shishi was surprised and puzzled and asked: "You stayed well in the capital, why do you want to go back to the south of the Yangtze River? Isn't your brother in the Hanlin Academy? It's not appropriate to leave a good Hanlin, why do you have to go to some place?" official?"

Beijing officials are noble, especially Hanlin. Going out of Beijing to take office is like demoting an official.In Jia Shishi's mind, Beijing officials are like Xun's relatives, and local officials are not as good as Beijing officials.

No one in Beijing knows that Lin Shujian is in the emperor's heart. According to Jia Shishi's opinion, Lin Shu just spends his days in the capital and does nothing. Isn't this much safer than going to a place to suffer?

Daiyu smiled and replied: "Grandmother, I don't know the specific plan of my brother, but my brother always thinks and moves. I think he must have a special reason. Besides, he is going out of Beijing to take up the post. The Hanlin Bachelor will not be deprived, after all, Wenkui's plaque is still hanging in my house."

……

Wang Xifeng invited Daiyu to write invitations for her. In a few days, Jia She will return to Beijing to report on her work. Marquis of Rongguo Jia She will return to Beijing. The family will definitely invite relatives to the banquet. Wang Xifeng, the mistress of the family, is going to Started preparing ahead of time.

Looking at Daiyu who left with Wang Xifeng, Jia Shishi wondered whether he should make any changes to the previous plan in his heart.

After Lin Ruhai passed away, the in-laws of the Lin family not only did not lose their role, but became even more important.

Regardless of whether Lin Shu wants to leave Beijing to take up the post, his future achievements will definitely not be inferior to those of Wei Qinghe, the chief assistant of the cabinet today.The king of Jia, Xue Shi, now the Wang family has begun to fall silent. The historian and the Jia family are completely divorced.

Now that the Jia family is on the side of the civil servants, apart from Jia Zheng, the biggest force is the Lin family represented by Lin Shu.

To maintain this in-law relationship for two or three generations, it is not enough to rely on Daiyu, the Jia family's niece.The Jia family needs to get closer to the Lin family again. Only in this way can the two families with continuous in-laws maintain the closest relationship until the Jia family's own literary path walks out of Tongtian Avenue.

……

Naturally, Wang Xifeng didn't really invite Daiyu just to write an invitation card. The purpose of her invitation to Daiyu actually has a lot to do with Jia Shishi.

In the past two years, the old lady has slowly returned the power in the mansion to the head of the house, but sometimes she still gets confused and does some inexplicable things.For example, in the past few days, the old lady repeatedly told her about taking concubines for Jia Lian.

　Since the National Day, the epidemic has resurged, and the old Miaomiao is very busy. The update is very unstable during these days, so I want to give everyone a big bang!Boom!Boom!Boom!

　　Wait for the epidemic to stabilize before updating stably, sorry!
