Chapter 29
This transfer is not just as simple as being promoted to a higher level. You must know that this household department is in charge of the territory, taxes, salaries, land and all financial affairs of the entire Qing Dynasty. As the number one person in power in such a department, this position can be imagined.

Daiyu secretly laughed and said that her old father is now a man who owns a treasury.

Lin Ruhai himself breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't have such big ambitions, but he wanted to protect his daughter, especially now that he has been accused of being Prince Fujin, if his official position is insignificant, how can he give his daughter What about backing him up? Now that he is sitting in such a position, he has great power in his hands, and he is obviously trusted and reused by the emperor. In the future, if the fourth elder brother really wants to bully his daughter, he has to weigh it carefully and not dare to offend him easily. , otherwise... wait to be cut!
Lin Ruhai let out a cold snort, and with a rush in his heart, he became more and more diligent and devoted himself to doing things. Kangxi was very satisfied when he saw it, and the court was not hesitating to praise him.

For a while, Lin Ruhai became more and more popular among the elite circles in the capital.

Mother Jia was also very happy to hear the news of Lin Ruhai's promotion. She showed off at home for no other reason than to hear others flatter her.

Jia Zhengyuan was also very happy, but after listening to his mother's praise, he gradually became unhappy.

Lin Ruhai was a senior high school student, but he only passed the exam as a scholar. Now Lin Ruhai is a first-rank official in charge of the household department, and is highly valued by the emperor, but he is dawdling in the Ministry of Industry as a fifth-rank official, even seeing the emperor in person. No... The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable Jia Zheng felt, filled with an unknown jealousy and shame.

Mrs. Wang didn't know the hidden jealousy in his heart. When she closed the door in the room at night, she pulled Jia Zheng and praised Lin Ruhai, and finally said: "The original old lady meant to want Hiring a girl from the Lin family for Baoyu, I think it looks good... It's a pity that the royal family has taken a fancy to it."

Jia Zheng was so suffocated that he was about to explode. When he heard this, he immediately sneered, and his harsh words pierced into Mrs. Wang's heart like a knife, "Baoyu married Daiyu? He deserves it! We usually call him Reading the Four Books and Five Classics is like killing him, and so far he can only write a few romantic poems, and he can only roll in the pile of makeup every day! And the scandal he caused some time ago... If If a man like him comes to marry Tanchun, I will beat him up! I would dare to think of a good girl who is innocent! Do you think it is good? I think you are dreaming, continue to lie down and do it Your sweet dream!"

"Also now that Daiyu has been pointed to the fourth elder brother, it's better for you to say less, and it will be passed into the ears of the Holy One, so don't implicate the Jia family."

"Master!" Mrs. Wang clutched her chest and looked at Jia Zheng in disbelief, "Baoyu is your own son! How can you say that about him? Baoyu is still young, so he loves to play and doesn't like to study. When you grow up and become more sensible, you will naturally know how to make progress. Whose child didn't come here like this, why is the master so impatient? Besides, what is said to be a scandal is not a scandal, but Baoyu was simply coaxed by that cheap screwdriver. How can it be like Is it as unbearable as the master said? It’s just that you are young and ignorant.”

"He's young? How old is Lan'er? Lan'er knows how to study hard and work hard. He's eleven or twelve years old, but he's not even as good as his little nephew! It's nothing more than a distaste for reading, but he's full of fallacy. Stubbornness is extremely absurd! Furthermore, as the saying goes, when one sees old age at the age of three, he is not willing to be served by an ordinary-looking girl and woman when he is young. As long as the pretty girl with a beautiful appearance has never run Worrying about eating the rouge on the lips of girls, it can be seen that he is a vile child in his bones!"

The more Jia Zheng talked, the angrier he became, recalling all the words and deeds of this son from childhood to such an adult, he couldn't help showing disgust on his face.

A gentleman is dignified and gentle like jade.

This is the son he was looking forward to in his heart.

But what about Jia Baoyu? There is only a skin that can coax people, but in reality it is gold and jade, and its character is really worrying, and it still refuses to change after repeated admonition.

Even if he is not good at reading, at least he will be a little disappointed and regretful if he has a good conduct. He would never be so disgusted, but... the deep disgust on Jia Zheng's face made Mrs. Wang feel terrified Panic spread in my heart, "Master... Baoyu is still a child, just teach him well."

Before the words fell, a noise came from outside the house.

Jia Zheng frowned and shouted angrily, "Who is presumptuous!"

Jin Chuan'er outside replied: "It's Qingwen who is in front of Baoyu, who said something happened..."

When Mrs. Wang heard that something had happened to her lifeblood, she was immediately startled, she hurriedly called someone in, and asked, "What happened to Baoyu?"

"It's not Baoyu's accident, it's Xiren..." Qingwen pursed her lips, lowered her head to hide her expression, and said: "Just now Baoyu heard that Mr. Qin had gone, so he clamored to see him, Xiren Persuading him to go tomorrow when it was too late, Baoyu refused, and pushed Xiren, who hit the table immediately, and then... blood flowed from his body."

Jia Zheng didn't realize it for a while, but Mrs. Wang was a woman, but he immediately thought of it, his face turned dark immediately, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you sure?"

Qingwen nodded, "Xiren said it himself, crying and begging Baoyu to call a doctor. Baoyu seemed to be frightened, and was in a daze."

Jia Zheng was also thinking about it now, with a look of shock and astonishment, and pointed at Mrs. Wang with a trembling finger, "Is this what you said you were still a child? At the age of eleven or twelve, the belly of the girl next to you was enlarged... Ridiculous! Extremely ridiculous! Don't mention the Lin family anymore, I'm ashamed!" After saying that, he walked away.

Mrs. Wang was speechless, she hated Xiren even more deeply, and she took a few wives to Jia Baoyu's yard.

Xiren had already been lifted onto the bed by a few little girls, his young face turned pale from the severe pain, his hands were clutching his stomach and howling, he looked very miserable and horrifying very.

Jia Baoyu didn't know if he was scared stupid, so he stood quietly by the side, his eyes were blank, showing a bit of helplessness and fear.

"Where is the doctor? Has the doctor come yet?" Xiren asked anxiously, holding back the pain and panic.

After the words fell, a cold voice came from the door, "What kind of doctor do you want? Are you worthy?"

As soon as Mrs. Wang stepped into the house, a strong smell of blood came to her nostrils, and she frowned in disgust, "What a loyal and treacherous bastard! I have lived half my life, and it was a little girl like you The film has been fooled, you are really capable!"

Those eyes were cold and cold, as if looking at a dead person.

Xiren couldn't help but flinched, panicked, and subconsciously glanced at Jia Baoyu.

This glance added fuel to the fire.

"Come here!" Mrs. Wang said with a cold face like a god, "Prepare a dose of medicine for this bitch, and then throw her out of the house!"

Immediately, the women who brought him with him stepped forward and dragged the attacker off the bed, and they were brutal and merciless.

The attacker turned pale with fright, and cried, "Madam, please forgive me! Madam... Baoyu! Baoyu save me!"

Jia Baoyu seemed to wake up from a dream. Seeing Xiren's miserable appearance, he couldn't help showing pity, his lips parted slightly, but when he met Mrs. Wang's cold expression, he was instantly dumb.

"Baoyu, I know you've always been the most soft-hearted, but not this time." Mrs. Wang looked softer when she looked at Jia Baoyu, but the words she uttered were still cold and ruthless, "This girl is a traitor in her heart. It's the most honest thing to do, but now... She knew she was pregnant a long time ago, but why she kept it a secret and refused to reveal a word? But she just wanted to wait for her belly to get bigger, and wait until the fetus was formed. , when the time comes, we can't help but soften our hearts, so that she will be as expensive as a mother and a child."

"That's not the case... Ma'am, you misunderstood..."

Xiren still wanted to argue, but Mrs. Wang was impatient to pester her any longer, and only signaled to her mother-in-law, "Drag on!"

"Baoyu! Baoyu save me! Baoyu!"

But even though she cried and yelled and broke her throat, she still couldn't wait for Jia Baoyu to say a word.

Seeing this situation, Qingwen on the side suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Although she didn't like Xiren's superficial behavior, but Xiren had served Baoyu for so long. In such a situation, he refused to even say a word... She knew that he was not that cruel person, but he was too cowardly and weak, too irresponsible, after all, it was the person who had been intimate with him.

After dealing with the attacker, Mrs. Wang beat all the maids around Jia Baoyu severely before leaving.

Jia Baoyu hid in the room and cried into tears, but did not do anything else.

After learning about Mrs. Wang's handling, Mother Jia didn't say much, she just nodded to show that she understood. Under the dim candlelight, her face flickered.

The Lin family wasn't very happy with this marriage at all, if they ask Mr. Xiren to have another child, then don't worry about it. Other high-ranking families, as long as they love the girl, they will never be happy. Baoyu's marriage was even more difficult, so Xiren's child must not be kept.

The heart was sober and indifferent, but there was a look of pity on the face, "That girl is also pitiful... Forget it, you give her 20 taels of silver, and ask two people to send her back home."

Yuanyang wiped the corners of her eyes, "Thank you, old lady, for your kindness."

After this incident, Jia Baoyu was very listless for a few days, and often sat there in a daze, looking out of his mind.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts. On the one hand, they were gnashing their teeth with hatred for the attackers, and on the other hand, they were afraid that their precious phoenix egg would be overthinking and suffocate in their hearts.
