Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion.

Chapter 157: Good intentions accepted (please subscribe)
This year's Flower Festival is Lin Daiyu's ninth birthday!

It's not a birthday plan originally, and since I'm a child, I basically don't bother to take care of it.

But doesn't Lin Ruhai feel that he owes his daughter?

I happened to have some free time, so I decided to hold a small birthday party.

Of course, all the people invited were relatives and very close friends.

No, Jia Huan was also invited, and it was Old Butler Lin who came to invite him personally.

There was no invitation. It would have been too grand and formal and unnecessary.

Jia Huan was just a little surprised. He didn't expect the Lin family to invite him so seriously. It was rare.

No matter what, this face must be given!
When he returned home, he heard from Aunt Zhao that Jia Baoyu, Sanchun, and Xue Baochai were also going to attend Lin Daiyu's birthday banquet. He just smiled lightly and said nothing.

The Flower Festival is coming soon, and Jia Huan has not put on new clothes or anything, it is no different from before.

He didn't prepare any too expensive gifts. A pair of beautifully carved jade ornaments cost almost 50 taels of silver.

If Jia Baoyu still had the nerve to ask Sister Lin if she had any jade, Jia Huan decided to use this pair of jade ornaments to make an issue.

Just kidding, Jia Baoyu is definitely not that stupid.

Lin Daiyu now has the support of her father.If he dares to act like a monster like before, believe it or not, Lin Ruhai will directly define Jia Baoyu as an unwelcome existence without saying anything on the surface.

In the future, I still want to have regular contact with Lin Daiyu, so go ahead and dream!

After entering the Lin Mansion, we went directly to Lin Daiyu's boudoir courtyard. It was already a joyful scene, both the maids and the invited guests were all smiling.

When he saw Jia Huan, Jia Baoyu was a little surprised: "Brother Huan, why are you here?"

Look at what you said, I really want to give you a slap in the face!
"Haha, Brother Huan is here!"

Lin Ruhai greeted him with a smile on his face and directly stated that Jia Huan was the one who invited him.

"I wish Sister Lin good health and all the best!"

Jia Huan chuckled and said, "My uncle's complexion is getting better and better. It seems that he is living a good life!"

"Let's do it!"

Lin Ruhai also chuckled and said, "I'm not as busy as before, and I have much less worry!"

The Rong Mansion is a big sieve, and many things cannot be hidden at all.Even what happened in the big study room in the front yard will gradually spread as time goes by.

Lin Ruhai could easily find out that it was Jia Huan's efforts in persuading Master Zheng who made up his mind to fish him out of the quagmire in Yangzhou.

How is it possible to say that there is no gratitude in my heart?

From Lin Ruhai's perspective, as long as he got out of the quagmire of Yangzhou and speculated from the perspective of an outsider, it would be easy to guess his fate.

If he doesn't escape in time, he will definitely end up dead!
Even if he could escape one round after another of calculations and targets, by the time he successfully retires from the position of Salt Patrol Censor, his body would be almost completely ruined.

That unknown chronic poison still left a deep impression on Lin Ruhai.

Every time I think about it, I can't help but break into a cold sweat and feel like I've fallen into an ice cave!
Of course, the consequence is that his mentality is completely calm!

It's not that he has lost interest in officialdom, but that he has lost trust in the royal family.

In the future, if he encounters a position like Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor again, he will definitely not work so hard.

Not to mention these, Jia Huan's actions of encouraging Mr. Zheng, no matter what the purpose, can be regarded as pulling him out of the desperate situation of death and can be regarded as a lifesaver.

Besides, Lin Ruhai is actually quite optimistic about Jia Huan's future!
Isn't he quite free recently? Since the second master Zheng resigned from the post of ambassador, the two deputies Lin Ruhai and Jia Yucun have also been freed.

Compared to Jia Yucun in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Lin Ruhai, who is the third-in-command in the Ministry of Rites, lives a more leisurely life.

While he was recuperating his body, he was also very interested in studying the changes in the Yue family in the past two years.

It was only after arriving in the capital that Lin Ruhai had a clear understanding of the Yue family's situation.

And in the past two years, Jia Huan seems to be involved in all the changes in the Yue family?

Lin Ruhai didn't know whether he really noticed something or was it just an illusion?
In short, his attitude towards Jia Huan is quite enthusiastic at the moment. After all, he is his lifesaver.

With Lin Ruhai here, the group of young guests will naturally not make any mistakes.

After all, he is a big shot in the court, and even if he is idle, he is still the second-rank right minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, and no one dares to ignore him easily.

Among the invited guests, the oldest one was undoubtedly Qin Keqing.

This person's identity is there, and through Xichun, he and Lin Daiyu have also established a certain friendship.

In short, Lin Daiyu's birthday party was quite lively, with a group of boys and girls making a lot of noise.

That is to say, Li Wan and Wang Xifeng didn't come, otherwise it would be even more lively.

Jia Huan is indeed a bit out of the ordinary among a group of young guests.But he doesn't care himself, and others won't say anything inappropriate.

After the banquet, this group of boys and girls went to the flower hall where the earth dragon was entangled, and directly opened a poetry club, starting a poetry competition in the name of today's Flower Chao Festival.

Tsk tsk, whether it is Qin Keqing or Shi Xiangyun, or Sanchun and Xue Baochai, plus Jia Baoyu and the longevity star Lin Daiyu, they can all come to the occasion.

It made him, a college graduate in his previous life, look like a semi-illiterate.Jia Huan went out quietly, ignoring the biting cold wind outside, feeling quite good.

No wonder Jia Baoyu likes to hang out with her sisters. Those charming faces are a pleasure to look at, not to mention that all of them are talented women with a lot of talent.

How can other things compare to the satisfaction and joy in my heart when I play with them?

"Brother Huan, why don't you play inside?"

Next to him, Lin Ruhai's gentle voice came, and he looked at Jia Huan with a smile.

"Forget it!"

Jia Huan laughed at himself: "I can't participate in the poetry gathering inside, so I won't be embarrassed!"

"Brother Huan, aren't you also learning to read from the Jia family?"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Why are you not interested in poetry?"

"Haha, I'll tell you the truth, it's all about errands!"

Jia Huan waved his hand and said leisurely: "It takes a lot of energy to read and understand all the Four Books and Five Classics. How can you care about anything else?"

"Besides, poetry and poetry require talent!"

"Don't you have the idea of ​​studying for the imperial examination?"

Lin Ruhai's heart moved, and she looked at Jia Huan and said curiously: "With your intelligence, you should have great hope of getting ahead!"

"How many years will it take for that to happen?"

Speaking of this, Jia Huan was not afraid of Lin Ruhai's jokes and said leisurely: "If it's not good, I'll be over thirty by the time I pass the Jinshi exam!"

"This is when everything is going well. If not, wouldn't it be a waste of time and energy?"

"If I had a good gentleman, it would be much easier to pass the Jinshi exam!"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "I happen to have a lot of free time recently. Do you want me to give you some advice?"

"forget it!"

Jia Huan waved his hand and said with a smile: "I understand my uncle's intention, but this is unrealistic!"

"The situation in the mansion simply does not allow me to rely on studying and taking the imperial examination to get ahead. Unless I can separate the mansion immediately, the consequences will be really unpredictable!"

He stretched out his hand to stop Lin Ruhai and let him listen to what he said: "Besides, I really have no interest in the Confucian classics. As long as I can get a general idea of ​​what is going on when others scold me, that's all!"

"If you really want to enter an official career, with the power of Rongfu, you don't need to put all your thoughts on the imperial examination!"

Lin Ruhai frowned slightly, she didn't expect Jia Huan to have such thoughts, so it would be difficult to continue.

In addition, from Jia Huan's words, I also heard that the internal affairs of Rong Mansion were obviously not as simple as I thought, and I couldn't help but think of Jia Baoyu in the flower hall.

Jia Huan quickly said goodbye and left, with no intention of staying at Lin's house any longer.

He really didn't expect that Lin Ruhai would actually take him as his disciple?

Fortunately, this person didn't show his intentions and let the old lady in the house and Mrs. Wang know, otherwise he would be in trouble and would have to be entangled in the future.

It's not that I'm afraid of these two, but that once they get entangled, there will be no end.

It was estimated that he had instigated Mr. Zheng to molest Lin Ruhaijing and let the Tanhua Lang know about it, and he had the idea to repay his kindness.

It's great to have this kind of heart, and Jia Huan has no intention of repaying it.

Currently, the luck value displayed in the virtual light screen evolved by Golden Finger is approaching [-], which is the best reward. He is already quite satisfied.

Another point is that although I have no plans for the future, I have no idea of ​​taking the imperial examination and becoming an official.

The imperial examination is really unpredictable. Unless he is willing to throw himself directly into the arms of the southern scholars and become their vanguard to invade the court's resources, otherwise, if he wants to successfully pass the imperial examination, he will probably have to use most of the energy accumulated in the golden finger. All the luck points must be completely consumed.

Xu Wenchang, one of the three great talents in the pre-Ming Dynasty, and the four great talents in Jiangnan all had a very difficult time in the imperial examination. Don't they have talent?

As he told Lin Ruhai, if you want to enter the officialdom, you do not have to pass the imperial examination.

For example, the Dragon Guards and the Jinyi Mansion are quite good career paths!

I guess these channels into officialdom make scholars jealous or dissatisfied. In short, mainstream thinking is dismissive of them, and they are not the so-called right path at all.

Lin Ruhai is also a standard scholar-bureaucrat, and will be affected to a greater or lesser extent.

Fortunately, his mind is broad enough, otherwise Jia Huan's words would be enough to blacklist Jia Huan completely, and he would probably not have much contact with him in the future.

Not to mention taking the initiative to invite Lin Daiyu to attend her birthday party like this one.

Of course, Jia Huan didn't care much about any of this.

Currently, what he is most concerned about is improving his abilities and discovering the efficacy of the golden finger.

Anyway, with Rong Mansion as his back, even if he is not taken seriously in the manor, the situation outside is completely different.

There is no need to explain some things too clearly. Just look at the treatment Jia Huan and Jia Baoyu received outside. Lin Ruhai should be able to see it, right?
Whether you have ability and whether you can gain respect from outsiders is not something you brag about but something you do. ,
