Chapter 275 Rumors (please subscribe)

At this time, the second master of politics still has a certain ability to act and execute.

I've been the boss at Honglu Temple for a long time. Is it reasonable to say that I haven't made any progress?

No, after agreeing to Jia Huan's request, apart from going to the Yamen, most of his free time was spent on visiting Jia Huan's house to propose marriage.

Please be kind to the official media, bring gifts, and come to your door on the nearest auspicious day.

Lin Ruhai received the second master Zheng with a smile on his face. Amid the praise from the official media, the two uncles, who had a good relationship, exchanged letters from Jia Huan and Lin Daiyu, and completed the engagement ceremony amidst the sound of firecrackers.

Mr. Zheng was in a happy mood and had a drink at Lin's house. He didn't return home drunk until mid-afternoon.

As for whether the birth dates of the two children are consistent, that is just a means to cancel the engagement.

In fact, it is better for female elders to come forward in such matters.

But how could Mrs. Wang come forward to marry Jia Huan?

Although she didn't want to see Lin Daiyu, she regarded Lin Daiyu as one of her son's spare parts. There was no way she could let Jia Huan get an advantage easily.

In fact, Mrs. Wang was quite restrained by not interfering or secretly obstructing Mr. Zheng.

How could Mr. Zheng's actions be concealed from Mrs. Wang?

When the official media was invited, Mrs. Wang already knew about it, but she just chose to remain silent.

Fortunately, Lin Ruhai is the head of the Lin family and there is no hostess, so it is not unexpected for Master Zheng to come to propose marriage.

For some unknown reason, when Mr. Zheng Er helped Jia Huan go to the Lin family to propose marriage, Mrs. Wang even helped cover up the traces.

Therefore, by the time the old lady found out, the marriage between Jia Huan and Lin Daiyu was a foregone conclusion.

"Second brother, what do you mean?"

The old lady was quite angry. She immediately called Master Zheng to Rongqing Hall and asked angrily: "Why were you not notified of such an important matter in advance?"

"Is it possible that you think the old woman is old and confused and no longer useful?"

These words are a bit messy and arrogant. This is relying on the old and selling the old.

"Don't dare!"

The second master Zheng didn't even dare to say anything, so he said helplessly: "Mom, as the saying goes, parents order matchmakers. Brother Huan has left the house again. As a father, my son can help propose marriage. There is no problem!"

"Second brother, is this what I said?"

The old lady was dissatisfied and said: "You should know what I am thinking. Why is Daiyu such a good child given to Brother Huan? Where do you put Baoyu?"

"Old lady, this matter cannot be decided by my son unilaterally!"

Mr. Zheng Er felt that he had been wronged and said directly: "It was after Ru Hai talked to Brother Huan that he asked me to help him come to propose marriage. Ru Hai has already fallen in love with Brother Huan!"

"As for Baoyu's marriage, Mrs. Wang has always been interested in seeing her, and I will definitely not disappoint you!"

Although he was quite dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu, Mr. Zheng would not think that Jia Baoyu would not have a good marriage, after all, his conditions were there.

My biological sister is a concubine, and the reputation of the Rong Mansion is no joke.

As the legitimate son of the second wife, Jia Baoyu is still a very important young master outside the family.

There are many people who want to get married!

It's just that the old lady and Mrs. Wang have very high standards, and their requirements for Jia Baoyu's wife can be said to be harsh, and they won't be able to confirm it for a while.

But, isn't this a reason to delay Jia Huan's engagement?

If the old lady really has an idea, she should talk to her brother-in-law Lin Ruhai.

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, it is better than procrastinating all the time, regardless of how old niece Lin Daiyu is.

Before, my brother-in-law Lin Ruhai disagreed, so it was no big deal. Is it possible that Jia Huan is not his son? Isn't the old lady's control too lenient?

After listening to Mr. Zheng Er's explanation, the old lady's dissatisfaction not only did not subside, but became even stronger.

However, it is not easy to have an attack in front of Master Zheng.

"Hmph, you, the old man, don't care about it, and I, the old woman, don't even bother to care about it!"

Feeling depressed, the old lady waved her hand: "Go and do your own business and leave the old lady in peace!"

After Mr. Zheng left with his head full of confusion, the old lady said dejectedly: "Why has the matter developed to this point? What will Baoyu do in the future?"

The mandarin duck who was waiting beside him didn't speak, he just acted as a responsible listener.

Sure enough, the old lady didn't need anyone else to explain, and continued to talk to herself: "If I had known this, I shouldn't have let Brother Huan out of the house so easily!"

Now that Jia Huan has become a member of the side tribe, it is not easy to handle even if he wants to.

In other words, Master Zheng and Mrs. Wang can suppress this kid through their status as parents.

But looking at the current situation, Mr. Zheng is obviously very optimistic about the future of Jia Huan. Otherwise, he would not have engaged him in marriage. After all his busy work, he personally came forward to propose marriage?

As long as Jia Huan doesn't covet the power of the second wife and doesn't take the initiative to target Jia Baoyu, Mrs. Wang may not deliberately target her.

This feeling of losing control is not very good.

Now that the ship is doomed, it will not be easy to save it.

Unless Jia Huan makes a major mistake, or the Lin family suddenly changes their mind.

You can try it in private. How can it be so easy if you want her to give up completely?

She just didn't understand why Mrs. Wang was so opposed to Baoyu and Daiyu's kiss. The situation of the Lin family is so clear. Once Lin Ruhai dies, the entire Lin family will belong to Baoyu.

With five generations of princes, and the fact that he has always had few descendants, the wealth he has accumulated is probably quite astonishing.

Not to mention tens of millions, at least he has a fortune of more than five million!

As for personal connections, haven’t you seen it clearly at the banquet between Daiyu and Hairpin?

Lin Ruhai still has quite good connections in the civil service group.

If Baoyu can make use of these connections, they may be able to help Baoyu gain a better foothold in the court and become a high-ranking official in the court!

As long as she thought about these things, they might become Jia Huan's pocket, and the old lady's mood didn't get much better, and she even had the urge to kill.

As for the fact that Jia Huan is also her grandson, she doesn't agree with it at all.

She is just a grandson of a concubine and doesn’t have much affection. Will she still listen to her when she grows up?

Anyway, the old lady doesn't believe it, and she wouldn't be happy about it.

"Yuanyang, keep a close eye on the big study room!"

After thinking a lot, the old lady then gave instructions: "If Brother Huan comes to visit, let him come to Rongqing Hall. The old lady must talk to him properly!"

"In addition, keep an eye on Aunt Zhao and write down any mistakes she makes!"

After finishing the instructions, a look of coldness appeared on the old face. Although he did not speak, the shocking coldness spread rapidly in Rongqing Hall.

At this time, Jia Huan no longer cared about the engagement.

As mentioned before, if you want to complete the marriage process, you don't have to wait for one to two years, so don't even think about it.

At the moment, his attention was attracted to Jinmen.

The sea-going fleet belonging to the Ministry of Internal Affairs returned, bringing a large amount of Korean specialties, causing a huge sensation in Tianjin.

Jia Huan was not polite and ordered his subordinates to help publicize it.

So soon, there were more related rumors in the capital, arousing the interest of many officials and citizens.

In one overseas trade, the fleet of ships belonging to the Ministry of Internal Affairs earned an astonishing profit of more than 1.5 million taels, and maybe more.

The overseas trade with Goryeo is really hugely profitable. As long as a smooth return trip is made, it is an astonishing profit of one million taels. This time, the current emperor made a lot of money.

It's a pity that this time the emperor's inner treasury made a lot of money, but the national treasury didn't get much profit.

Prince Zhongshun is really unlucky. He originally opened up the overseas trade route with Goryeo, but in the end, he got an advantage from the guys in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

I heard that Prince Zhongshun was frequently throwing things at the palace recently to express his dissatisfaction.

In short, all kinds of rumors related to the royal family are like a raging tide.

Today, I am in a good mood with the rough income account, and I don't bother to pay attention to the rumors from outside.

But what he didn't know was that many members of the royal family were more than just ready to make a move.

Prince Zhongshun had already had preliminary communication with them, but they had never reached an agreement because of the interests and risks.

Of course, Prince Zhongshun did not say anything about the idea of ​​establishing a vassal state in foreign lands.

Instead, they were tempted to believe that overseas trade was hugely profitable, and he hoped that they could join forces to make money together.

As for Prince Zhongshun's ambition, it is naturally hidden in the amazing overseas trade.

Of course, some thoughts were revealed naturally and unnaturally, which did not arouse the alertness of other clan members.

They are all the sons of the Supreme Emperor, who doesn't have huge ambitions?

The most important thing is that the performance of the current emperor is far from being a heroic master or a wise master, otherwise it would not be possible for him to be suppressed by the Supreme Emperor for more than twenty years.

With such a mediocre performance, how is it possible to convince all the members of the clan who are also the sons of the Supreme Emperor?

Otherwise, Prince Zhongshun would not think of ways to show off, and it would be difficult for the other members of the clan to stand out.

Aren't they worried now that they have unrealistic ideas, so they are suppressed severely!

There was no chance before. If he wanted to make some waves in the capital, even Prince Zhongshun didn't have much courage. One mistake would be a disaster.

But now that I have the opportunity to work overseas, I naturally won’t be left behind!

In particular, some members of the clan with extremely keen minds have noticed certain clues.

You know, the initiator of overseas trade with Goryeo was Prince Zhongshun.

Some things don't require evidence, even if it's just a guess, you can still know it!

Apart from anything else, even if you can only make money, it's still a pretty good thing.

No matter what you want to do, is it possible without money?

Even if you just enjoy it, a lot of money is spent every year!

In fact, it’s not like there aren’t many royal members in the capital who are down and out. Isn’t it because they have no money?

Likewise, when the rumors about the Imperial Household Fleet became more and more raging in the capital, Prince Zhongshun's palace became more and more lively, with other members of the royal family or representatives visiting from time to time.

The meaning is the same, both inside and outside the words are accusing the current emperor of not being a toy, and openly robbing the business interests of the dignified prince. I hope that the loyal prince will not give in, and they will definitely support this.
