Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion.

Chapter 273 The ‘ignorant and incompetent’ Jia Huan

Prince Zhongshun's behavior this time was almost like self-destruction.

Of course, they are not really going to die together, but they are using their income from the salt administration to blow up the big hole in the salt administration and confuse the situation in the court.

It can't be considered a success unless you win over a few high-ranking officials of level three or above!

So it didn't take long for some high-ranking officials of the third rank or above in the court to be impeached and stripped of their black hats.

This time, the unlucky one is still the boss from the Ministry of Finance!

Then, in order to compete for the vacant official positions, the cabinet itself became chaotic.

The first assistant and the second assistant are in tit-for-tat confrontation. The other three cabinet ministers seem to be neutral, but in private they are resorting to various tactics to prevent such disputes from being settled quickly.

Things like court battles can easily escalate if the situation is not properly controlled!

At present, due to the efforts of many forces, the entire court is completely in chaos.

The people in the capital soon found out, and all kinds of rumors suddenly spread, making the situation even more chaotic.

Jia Huan didn't take this to heart.

Even if two third-grade officials were dismissed within a month, it did not attract much attention from him.

Until the end of May, I suddenly received an invitation from Lin Ruhai.

Jia Huan did not dare to neglect. He went directly to Lin's house that evening and met Lin Ruhai who looked ugly.

"Uncle, what happened?"

He was not polite and asked straight to the point: "If there is anything I can do to help, I will definitely not refuse. Don't worry, uncle!"

"That's what you said!"

Lin Ruhai smiled lightly and said directly: "Then please ask Brother Cunzhou to come to propose marriage!"

"So urgent?"

Jia Huan was taken aback and asked curiously: "Could something really happen?"

As for asking Mr. Zheng to help propose marriage, it is a piece of cake.

He is already thirteen years old at this time, and his actual age is also fifteen. Now he is ready to talk about marriage, and there is no problem at all.

As for Lin Daiyu, she is already in her early sixteens this year and can already discuss marriage.

However, Lin Ruhai was so outspoken and seemed quite eager, which was a bit abnormal.

"You kid, just tell me if you can do it!"

Lin Ruhai didn't answer and asked instead: "If that doesn't work, I will go and communicate with Brother Cunzhou in person!"

"It's not a big problem!"

Jia Huan said directly: "I can make it clear to the master tomorrow, but I don't know the situation on my uncle's side!"

"After all, if you invite the official media, you have to wait for a good and auspicious day to come to your door, and buy some gifts. It cannot be completed in a short time. My uncle should understand this!"

"Of course I understand!"

The smile on Lin Ruhai's face became more and more sincere, and he said leisurely: "The thing is actually very simple!"

"I believe you should know that the current situation in the court is not very stable!"

"Looking at this, it will eventually affect me, that's for sure!"

"What I'm worried about is that the imperial court will suddenly transfer me out of Beijing. Then it won't be so convenient for me to take care of your cousin's affairs!"

"One more thing, I'm not very happy that your cousin continues to live temporarily in Rong Mansion!"

As he spoke, there was a half-smiling expression on his face, and he stared at Jia Huan without saying a word.

Damn, you don’t even need to wait to see some people in Rong Mansion to tell you, do you think I don’t know?

Jia Huan felt funny and nodded to express his understanding: "That's right, uncle's worry is not unreasonable!"

Jia Huan estimated that Lin Ruhai must have heard some rumors, but it was difficult to explain to him.

How could a being like Lin Ruhai not have some very secret information channels?

It may even involve the palace, so not exposing it easily is the most correct thing to do.

Even if Jia Huan agrees to propose marriage, as long as he and Lin Daiyu are not officially married for a day, some things cannot be easily leaked. This is an essential quality for becoming a high-ranking official.

"Well, it's better for my uncle to explain the matter clearly to his cousin!"

Jia Huan smiled and said: "I'm not very good at romantic affairs, I'm afraid my cousin will dislike me!"

This is really not modest. It is impossible for him to be like Jia Baoyu, who changes his tricks all day long to please girls.

Jia Baoyu has committed so many deaths, but he is still popular among girls. In addition to the aura brought by his status, his own personality is definitely one of the main factors.

Even if there were no Sanchun and Lin Xue, wouldn't there still be Shi Xiangyun and Miaoyu?

Speaking of Miaoyu, this one is still pretty much the same as in the original work, temporarily living in the small Buddhist hall in Rongfu Provincial Courtyard.

Of course, compared to Grand View Garden, the current living environment is much narrower. There was no Merlin for her to entertain herself with.

But it is similar to the original work. I heard that this person has a very arrogant and cold temperament.

The only one who could catch her eye was Jia Baoyu.

As for Sanchun and Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai who occasionally went over to play, they didn't take it seriously at all.

Yes, although the Provincial Family Courtyard did not allow Jia Baoyu and others to settle in, it is still not a problem to enter and play from time to time. According to Yuanchun, it is to preserve popularity.

Inside, there are also palace maids and eunuchs who maintain the provincial residence. It is not difficult to understand that there is a small Buddhist hall and nuns who practice on their behalf.

Anyway, Jia Huan doesn't care much about this Miaoyu!

Of course, Jia Huan has never been to the Provincial Family Courtyard once, let alone Miaoyu herself!

"You kid, do you think Daiyu is not ordinary at all?"

Lin Ruhai said angrily: "Since I returned to Beijing, she has basically been handling all matters at home, so she naturally knows what is good and bad!"

There was no need to say some words. Even if Lin Daiyu had a good impression of Jia Baoyu, he would not be happy.

Judging from the bad things Jia Baoyu has done, it is obvious that he is not a good marriage partner!

After the discussion was completed, Jia Huan did not stay at the Lin family any longer and said goodbye directly.

Lin Ruhai smiled softly. If Lin Daiyu's marriage could be settled quickly, he would be relieved.

Again, the Lin family is very thin, and Lin Daiyu's marriage is the most important thing right now.

Ever since Lin Daiyu got married, those who were of the same age or hometown as him had no intention of getting married, but they were all politely rejected by him.

Whether it was Lin Daiyu's temperament or the Lin family's own stance, they were not suitable for marrying into a civil servant family.

The range of choices was actually not large, but Jia Huan's performance and all other factors were very good, so Lin Ruhai identified this boy.

As for Lin Daiyu, after more than a year of correspondence, at least she did not exclude Jia Huan and could often discuss matters of interest in her letters.

Lin Ruhai saw all this and was delighted in her heart. It would be best to make the final decision now. He wasn't trying to trick Jia Huan, he had indeed heard some bad rumors. No matter whether there is a possibility of being transferred out of the capital, all precautions must be taken.

What he and Jia Huan said were all true. In particular, he didn't want Lin Daiyu to return to Rong Mansion and live under someone else's roof because of his departure.

There's nothing you can do about it, just don't know, but being so close, how could you not know the situation in Rong Mansion?

According to his thoughts, the current situation in Rong Mansion is really difficult to understand.

What is a fine palace for the Duke of Guo, is actually quite smoky.

When a family in Rong Mansion gave birth to a child, they were not only uneasy in the family, but also very arrogant and domineering outside.

Those who don’t know, think they are some extraordinary beings with eyes on their foreheads.

After staying in the capital for such a long time, he gradually learned more about Lin Daiyu's living conditions in Rongfu, and his anger was quite strong.

If he hadn't been well-educated, he would have gone to Rong Mansion to cause trouble.

For the old lady, his senses are very complicated!

To say that the old lady doesn't care about Lin Daiyu, it's not like that. She treats Lin Daiyu quite lovingly.

But some things, whether they were inadvertent oversights or deliberate actions, have caused considerable impact and harm to Lin Daiyu.

What Lin Ruhai couldn't accept the most was that the old lady actually dragged Lin Daiyu into the fight between him and his second wife, Mrs. Wang, causing Lin Daiyu to suffer a lot of injustice for no reason.

Especially when he knew that the Rong Mansion actually held Xue Baochai, the daughter of an imperial merchant, on a par with Lin Daiyu and even deliberately targeted Lin Daiyu, his mood was naturally not much better.

It's not that he looks down on people, but if the person being bullied is his own daughter, then there's nothing to say. If you look down on her, you look down on her, so what?

Lin Ruhai only felt that there was something wrong with Mrs. Wang's brain!

The old lady is not a smart being. Xue Baochai, the daughter of an imperial merchant, actually suppressed the three ladies in the house. How ridiculous is this?

Fortunately, the Rong family's reputation for having children is not very good, and its relationship with other families' children is very average. Otherwise, the news will easily spread, and all the girls of the Jia family in the capital will be in bad luck in the future.

This is no joke!

Lin Ruhai didn't believe it. The old lady and Mrs. Wang didn't know about these problems, but they simply turned a blind eye.

Mrs. Wang is okay, after all, Xue Baochai is her niece, but what about the old lady?

If the female head of the family is so confused, how can Lin Ruhai trust Lin Daiyu to continue to live in Rong Mansion temporarily?

Not to mention, half of the news he inquired about was related to Jia Baoyu's ridiculous behavior.

How old is this kid, and he still hangs out in the back house all the time?

It was possible to hang out with the maids, even Miharu, but this boy didn't know what marginality was, and he wanted to get close to any beautiful girl who came to his door.

Not long ago, Lin Ruhai also found out about Li Wan's widowed aunt and two cousins.

Besides feeling that Jia Baoyu is ridiculous, what else can you feel?

My daughter Lin Daiyu has reached the marriageable age, but she can't stand Jia Baoyu's torment like this!

Even though Jia Huan looked easy to talk to, Lin Ruhai knew that this kid had a very good idea.

If this kid becomes dissatisfied with Lin Daiyu because of Jia Baoyu, it will not be easy to restore her.

It’s not that it has to be Jia Huan!

But Lin Ruhai thought about it and researched all the suitable candidates, and finally found that Jia Huan was the best choice. This is an indisputable fact.

He didn't want his daughter Lin Daiyu to have any accidents regarding her marriage.

The key point is that Jia Huan doesn't know what he thinks. He doesn't care at all about the child's surname or whether he is revitalizing the Lin family.

This is a very rare temperament. How could Lin Ruhai give up so easily?

He also knew that the relationship between Jia Huan and Rongfu was quite average, even cold.

If his daughter marries him, this boy can even be regarded as the Lin family's son-in-law.

Of course, judging from Jia Huan's intentions, he probably didn't care whether he had a son-in-law or not, but the second master Zheng would definitely not agree, and Lin Ruhai would not force it.

Besides, a son-in-law is almost on the same level as a lowly person. No matter what he does in the future, he will be restricted and restricted. This is not the result that Lin Ruhai wants to see.

Jia Huan himself has outstanding abilities and good ideas. I will definitely not agree easily, because due to identity issues, I am restricted from being an official and in other aspects.

But no matter what, Jia Huan is the best husband candidate for his daughter Lin Daiyu.

During the meal, Lin Ruhai did not hide anything and directly recounted the discussion between himself and Jia Huan to Lin Daiyu, which made Lin Daiyu feel shy and speechless for a while.

"Daiyu, the current situation is like this, and there is nothing dad can do about it!"

Lin Ruhai was afraid that Lin Daiyu would have a grudge in her heart, so she smiled bitterly and said, "Dad is not sure how long it will take to come back once he is released. I can't delay you, right?"

"Daughter, listen to daddy!"

Lin Daiyu looked shy and did not show any dissatisfaction, and directly agreed to her father's arrangement.

"Oh, it seems you have a good impression of Brother Huan!"

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, then said with a satisfied smile: "Don't worry, Brother Huan is a good boy!"

The shame on Lin Daiyu's face did not fade away, and it became rosy after hearing the words. She couldn't eat it anymore after half the meal, and left in a hurry to return to the boudoir.

"Congratulations girl!"

Zijuan followed Lin Daiyu and naturally heard Lin Ruhai's words. While congratulating her, she had complicated thoughts.

It’s not that I think there’s anything wrong with Jia Huan!

As Lin Daiyu's personal maid, Lin Daiyu did not hide many things from this 'Hui Zijuan',

Among them was Lin Ruhai's investigation of Jia Huan, and Zijuan also heard about it.

In fact, she had to admit that Jia Huan should be a good match for her young lady.

As for the birth of children in the Rongfu family, Jia Baoyu, who was optimistic about it, has long been forgotten.

As for the things Jia Baoyu did, any ambitious girl would look down upon them.

Zijuan was loyal to Lin Daiyu, and naturally felt that Jia Baoyu was no longer suitable for Lin Daiyu.

But as a son of the Rong family, he was brainwashed too much. He sometimes felt disapproving of Jia Huan, the bastard of the Rong family. In short, his senses were quite complicated.

By this time, Lin Daiyu's marriage was basically confirmed, and she naturally felt awkward again.

Of course, she also understood that Lin Ruhai's choice was definitely the best for Lin Daiyu, there was no doubt about this.

Lin Daiyu's mood at this time was shy with a little bit of excitement.

She had known for a long time that her father, Lin Ruhai, was worried about her marriage and had already made plans.

Lin Ruhai was quite open-minded and told her almost all his thoughts without much concealment, letting her understand her father's thoughts on choosing a son-in-law.

Naturally, there was some resistance at first!

As Jia Huan said, he is not very good at romance.

However, Lin Daiyu has been an artistic young woman since she was a child. She has longed for romantic romance, so she naturally looks down on people like Jia Huan who are "ignorant and unskilled".
