Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion.

Chapter 305: Can’t hold it any longer (please subscribe)
When the children and grandchildren grow up, they are not very obedient.

This is what makes the old lady most sad. She feels that her status as an old feudal lord is not guaranteed.

In fact, she is much stronger than the original version of Red Mansions at the same time.

In the original work of Red Mansion, the Rong Mansion was in ruins at this time and could no longer even maintain normal expenses.

Especially in the Grand View Garden, there is no money to maintain a nice royal villa!

In other words, the Daqian Dynasty was a Han Dynasty. If it were a braided Dynasty, it would be enough to entertain the whole family. It is not an exaggeration at all.

Of course, the old lady and Mrs. Wang both have money, but they are not willing to spend it.

For an old feudal lord like the old lady, it can be said that the honor and disgrace of his life are completely linked to the Rong Mansion.

Rong Mansion was defeated, and her energy and spirit declined accordingly.

She is an eighty-year-old woman. Once her energy and energy are low, her body will naturally be unable to hold on.

In the original work of Red Mansions, the old lady only lived until shortly after Jia Baoyu got married.

But looking at the current situation, Rong Mansion is prospering day by day, and the descendants except Jia Baoyu and Mr. Sheda are all promising, and there is no need to worry about external unfavorable factors, so the energy and spirit are naturally very different.

When Jia Huan was admitted to Wu Jieyuan, he came to Rongqing Hall and met the old lady once.

With his superb medical skills, how could he not see that the old lady's body was quite strong and that it would not be a problem to live to the age of ninety according to her current condition.

It should be because there are less calculations!

In the original work of "The Red Mansion", the old lady and Mrs. Wang kept fighting over the choice of Jia Baoyu's wife, and finally ended with the old lady retreating and compromising.

This is a big blow to the old lady!

After all, he is an existence that has experienced the most glorious period of Rong Mansion. Even if his own abilities are insufficient, or he is focused on house fighting, his experience and vision after living so long are not a joke.

Regarding Jia Baoyu's marriage issue, Mrs. Wang is definitely confused!

Even Shi Xiangyun, who is used as a spare tire, is more suitable than Xue Baochai!
A powerful family like Rongfu places more emphasis on being well-matched!

Mrs. Wang keeps praising Xue Baochai, which is really not a wise move!
At present, although Jia Baoyu is being plotted against, his marriage partner is quite good.

The eldest daughter of the Jinxiang Hou Mansion is really much better than Jia Baoyu in terms of background!

From the perspective of heirs, he is even more suitable than Lin Daiyu!
Without such a thing to worry about, the old lady's energy and complexion would be hard to come by!
This person is another person who is used to enjoying things. As long as you can control your diet in the future, there is no limit to the amount of fat and salt, and it will not be difficult to live a long life.

Not to mention, Lin Daiyu basically lived here in Rong Mansion before marriage!

In the future, how could I feel worse if I could see my granddaughter often?

Now, the old lady is not so resentful about her son-in-law Lin Ruhai marrying Lin Daiyu to Jia Huan, and feels that it is quite appropriate.

She didn't think so before, she almost went to Lin's house to question him face to face!
Isn't Baoyu good? Lin Daiyu and Lin Daiyu were childhood sweethearts who grew up together!

Why did he fall in love with a boy like Jia Huan who was born as a concubine? Is it possible that in Lin Ruhai's eyes, Jia Huan, a concubine, was stronger than Jia Baoyu, a legitimate son?

When she learned that Lin Daiyu and Jia Huan were engaged, the old lady was not in a very happy mood!

In particular, Jia Baoyu's reaction was quite fierce, which made the old lady even more unhappy.

Jia Baoyu kept saying, "Why did Sister Lin get engaged?", like an abandoned little rabbit.

For those who didn’t know, they thought he and Lin Daiyu were an infatuated couple!

In other words, Jia Huan knew the inside story, and if he were an outsider, he would have to break off the relationship with the Lin family!
All I can say is that Jia Baoyu is really good at tricking people, but he still doesn’t realize it!
If you have the ability, when you are playing in the brothel and playing with the beautiful maids in the mansion, you can also remember Sister Lin!
I don't know if this matter has reached Lin Ruhai's ears, but Jia Huan didn't ask about it.

As time passed, and Jia Baoyu's marriage had been decided, the old lady slowly looked away.

The melon that is forced is not sweet, so it is better not to force it blindly!
How could the old lady not know Jia Baoyu's temperament?
Lin Daiyu's temperament is also there, and it is not a good thing to force them to get together.

No matter what, Lin Daiyu is still the granddaughter-in-law of Rong Mansion, and she can meet and chat from time to time, which is a good result.

Both Li Wan and Wang Xifeng were very active in entertaining Lin Daiyu.

Who said Lin Ruhai's rank and position were high at this time?

There is no telling when Jia Lian will be able to get a hand and help Jia Lian reach a higher level in the officialdom.

Lin Daiyu's future husband-in-law, Jia Huan, was someone Wang Xifeng was willing to befriend!

For no other reason, Jia Huan can make money, which suits her very well!
She also thought that she would cooperate more with Jia Huan in the future to make Dafang's family business more prosperous and give her son a good starting point.

As for Li Wan, let alone that.

Lin Ruhai is a small figure in the civil service group!

As long as he is healthy, he can still stand in the court for at least ten years at his age.

At that time, her son Jia Lan had already passed the imperial examination and became a member of the officialdom.

With Lin Ruhai's status, as long as he takes a little care, his future will be smooth sailing. Even if Lin Ruhai is willing, she can be used as a link to connect with her natal family.

Of course, the relationship between Li Wan and Lin Daiyu was already very good!
Li Wan admired Lin Daiyu's knowledge reserve and level.

Sometimes, Lin Daiyu could easily help Jia Lan answer his questions about knowledge.

In short, Li Wan, who came from a scholarly family, admired a talented woman like Lin Daiyu.

Here, all the female relatives in Rong Mansion, except for Mrs. Wang who was a little unwell, basically all came forward to entertain Lin Daiyu.

In the study room of the outer courtyard, Master Zheng and Jia Huan received Lin Ruhai.

We were all acquaintances, and there was nothing to be polite about. We held tea bowls and directly talked about the matters in the court.

"The campaign to purge the Emperor's confidants is getting bigger and bigger nowadays, I'm afraid there won't be peace in the court!"

"It has nothing to do with us. As long as you don't take the initiative to get involved, there is basically no problem!"

"Brother Cunzhou has just become the general envoy, so you need to pay special attention!"

That's right, after many efforts, a few days after Lin Ruhai was appointed, the second master of the government finally realized his wish and was promoted to the position of General Secretary.

This position is both leisurely and important, which is suitable for Mr. Zheng's temperament.

The General Affairs Department is a relay office for uploading and distributing information. Local information will be gathered in the General Affairs Department immediately, and then uploaded to the cabinet and the emperor through the General Affairs Department.

At the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the General Affairs Department had very broad powers and was one of the intelligence agencies controlled by the emperor.

It even has the right to help screen local governments for uploading memorials. It is a truly powerful department.

But later, the cabinet repeatedly reduced its powers, and now it has become an out-and-out Qingshui Yamen. When local memorials were uploaded, the General Affairs Office only registered and classified them, and then uploaded them intact to the cabinet and the emperor.

Being well-informed is really well-informed, but you no longer have any rights.

If it weren't for the tradition left over from the founding of the People's Republic of China, the rank of the General Secretary would have remained at the third rank.

But such a leisurely position is quite suitable for Mr. Zheng.

Having little authority naturally means that you don’t have to bear any responsibility!
The rank is there, and the big bosses who can participate in the small court meeting, the local feudal officials, and the middle and low-level officials in the capital dare not ignore him, which is good.

Unlike the Minister of Honglu Temple, when Daqian was not strong, it was really easy to be ignored.

There were no foreign envoys to entertain me, so I was so busy that my balls ached.

Mr. Zheng Er is also quite happy about this. Has the goal been achieved?

"Brother Ruhai, don't worry. Everyone knows what's going on in the General Administration Department. As long as they don't take the initiative to get involved in court affairs, no one will have trouble with me!"

"Sir, the General Secretary is indeed not busy, but he is well-informed!"

"What's going on in the Central Plains? Is there any news from Brother Cunzhou recently?"

"It's still such a stagnant water, but brother Cong is making good progress in suppressing the bandits, and many local officials have been implicated. I don't know what they think?"

"What else can you think about? The wealth you get for nothing is too tempting. If you can't resist it, you will be dragged into the water!"

"Brother Cong is quite fierce, but I still have to remind him to be careful. If he's not afraid of open guns, he's afraid of hidden arrows!"

"Uncle, don't worry. Brother Cong basically stays in the military camp and won't come out easily unless necessary. Some people even want to scheme and have no chance!"

"You still have to be careful. After all, he is obviously being used as a knife. Who knows if those local officials who are targeted will jump to the wall in a hurry!"

"Yeah, the official targeting is nothing, what I'm afraid of is the weird tricks of the world!"

"The Cao Gang and the Yellow River Gang are all rivers and lakes forces that give the imperial court a headache. Their energy in the Central Plains is too strong, so it's better to be more cautious!"

"Many of the martial arts masters under my command have been sent to support Brother Cong. There is no need to worry too much about this, unless they blatantly want to rebel!"

"Hey, I can't bear it anymore. It's not that simple and easy to clean up the emperor's manpower. There are still hard bones in the south to gnaw on!"

"I'm used to it. For example, in the south, we directly rotate all the local garrison there and replace them with the border troops or Beijing camp troops that we can control today. Let's see which force in the south dares to take the lead?"

"You say that lightly, but the cost of rotating local garrison alone is astronomical!"

"Haha, the rich people in the south of the Yangtze River are looking for help from those wealthy families, especially the salt merchants in Yangzhou. If their homes are confiscated, the imperial court will probably be able to live a prosperous life for many years!"

"The Yangzhou salt merchants are involved in countless interests. Who dares to take on such an important task and is not afraid that he will be killed in the end and end up with a miserable end?"

"Haha, I'm just saying it. I'm afraid I'll regret not forcing it in the future!"

"What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, sir. What's going on in the southwest? Is there a big fight?"

"For the time being, it's just a confrontation between a small group of people. It's just that I think something is wrong with the situation. Prince Nan'an seems to be unable to hold on anymore. I don't know what's going on?"
