Moreover, under Dai Yu's guidance, Jin En was very sly and not inflexible. At such a young age, he was like a slippery loach.
"That's right. Although teacher can't do anything now, Jin En and I can. As long as we let the people who should see us understand our attitude, it's fine. After all, we just entered the capital and teacher's position is the Minister of Rites. It sounds nice, but for them right now, it's not very useful. We just have to show our attitude and let people understand. After all, the Emperor's health is getting worse and worse. Time is of the essence. I don't think there will be many people who will keep an eye on us who just entered the capital. "
Situ Lang grew up in the Lin family. In his heart, he had long regarded himself as a member of the Lin family.
"Brother Lang is right. Although father can't do anything now, at the right time, showing a 'royalist' attitude is also a method. This way, although we won't be able to be used by the new Emperor like those who stand on the right side, we will be able to stand firm in the capital. "
"Royalist — —"
After Lin Ruhai heard the words of his son, daughter, and son-in-law, he lowered his head and pondered.
The Emperor's health was getting worse and worse. After entering the palace yesterday, he had seen it with his own eyes. With the Emperor's current health, it was no wonder that the capital was in such a mess. Several princes had moved to different degrees.
Although the Emperor had shown him kindness, Yu 'er, Jin En, and Jin Xuan were still too young. Lang' er had not grown up yet. He had to think for his family.
Moreover, the 'royalist' — — he, Lin Ruhai, would only be loyal to the person sitting on the throne. No matter which prince the Emperor would pass the throne to in the future, as long as he was loyal to the person sitting on the throne, it would be fine even if he was not used in the beginning. After all, he had long passed the age of ambition.
If he was young, he would definitely take a gamble. But now, he did not have that ambition. He only wanted to protect his wife and children. Moreover, he was now the Minister of Rites, a first-rank official. He was not greedy.
"Brother-in-law, who do you think can — —"
Jin En pulled on Situ Lang's sleeve and pointed to the sky.
Situ Lang looked at Jin En's winking and smiled. Then he looked at Dai Yu.
"What do you think?"
"Why don't we say it together and see if we have the same thoughts?"
Jin En's suggestion was approved by the others. They looked at each other and gestured a number.
In the end, apart from Jia Min who felt that the seventh prince, Noble Consort Zhen's son, was the most likely candidate, everyone else chose the fifth prince.
Daiyu's idea was the simplest. She just needed to choose the prince with the densest Dragon Qi.
When she had just entered the capital, she had noticed that other than the Imperial Palace, only the Fifth Prince's mansion was filled with Dragon Qi and dense Purple Qi. It was obvious that it was the residence of an Emperor.
"How could it be the Fifth Prince? The Seventh Prince is the son of Noble Consort Zhen. His family is powerful and has the most supporters. Although I am only in the backyard, I have heard many madams talk about the Fifth Prince. His mother was only a noble lady when she gave birth to him. Although she was raised by the former Empress for a few years, his mother was born of a low birth. She was only able to become an Imperial Consort because of her son who grew up safely. His family has no power, and his personality is too cold, so he is not very favored. "
They were not surprised by Jia Min's question. Noble Consort Zhen was favored, and the Seventh Prince was also very respected in front of the Emperor. Coupled with the Zhen family's power, many people felt that the Seventh Prince was very likely to succeed. However, many times, advantages often became disadvantages.
Moreover, the Zhen family was too ostentatious. Now that the Emperor was still on the throne, he doted on Noble Consort Zhen because of his relationship with the Zhen family. That was why the Zhen family had its current status.
However, if the Seventh Prince didn't succeed the throne in the future, the Zhen family — — Haha — —
Besides, Wang Xifeng didn't see anyone in the Lin family except for Jia Min before returning to the Jia residence.
When Mother Jia heard that Wang Xifeng had returned, she was waiting for her granddaughters and grandsons to come and greet her. In her opinion, even if Min 'er didn't come, her grandsons would definitely come.
After Min 'er got married, she left the capital for more than ten years. Now that she was back, if she didn't come, wouldn't it be right for her children to come and fulfill their filial piety?
However, who knew that after waiting for a long time, none of the three children came.
"It's all granddaughter-in-law's fault for not going at the right time. The two Lin cousins followed Uncle to visit Uncle's old friends. Cousin Lin was tired from the journey and was busy until late last night. When she woke up today, she didn't feel well and has been resting in bed."
Wang Xifeng's voice became softer and softer as she spoke. After all, how could there be so many coincidences!
Originally, she thought that it was a very simple matter, so she was so enthusiastic about it. Who knew that it would end up like this.
After all, a married lady had to rely on her maternal family's support in order to gain a foothold in her husband's family. How could she dare to go against her maternal family like this? Even she knew that she dared to be so arrogant in front of Jia Lian because she was a daughter of the Wang family.
However, Jia Min wasn't afraid. Not to mention that she didn't have her parents-in-law to suppress her for a long time, just the fact that she gave birth to the three children of the Lin family was enough for Jia Min to gain a foothold in the Lin family.
Moreover, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai were husband and wife when they were young. She accompanied Lin Ruhai to observe his parents' filial piety. Usually, the two of them were in harmony with each other, and the couple loved each other dearly. Originally, there were two bedwarmers in the backyard for the sake of having children. However, when she was pregnant with Yu 'er, Lin Ruhai had already sent them to the country residence. Now, she naturally didn't have to worry about anything.
Now, Madam Wang would get angry whenever she heard Jia Min's and Lin Daiyu's names.
When it came to Jia Min, she always wished that she would die a horrible death. It was the kind of mentality that "as long as I know that you're not living well, my heart will be at ease".
The enmity between the two of them had already been formed before the two of them were married.
The Wang family had always taught their daughters to abide by the principle that "a woman's virtue is to have no talent". Back then, Jia Min was a famous talented woman in the capital. In addition, Jia Min was very beautiful. She was very famous in the circle of her sisters back then.
When Madam Wang participated in those flower appreciation parties back then, because she was "illiterate", she often couldn't get along with the other girls. Over time, she became very jealous of Jia Min, who was liked by everyone.
Later, when she married into the Jia family, because she was the daughter-in-law, she had to serve her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Every time she ate, she had to serve Mother Jia and Jia Min at the side. Because of this, she became even more jealous of Jia Min.
It wasn't easy to wait until Jia Min got married. However, at that time, the old duke doted on Jia Min the most. Jia Min's dowry almost emptied half of the entire Rongguo residence's treasury. When Madam Wang saw that pile of dowry, her heart was really bleeding.
Who knew how many of these things would belong to her in the future? Now, they were all given to that little b * tch Jia Min just like that.
Later, when she heard that Jia Min didn't have any children after being married for many years, Madam Wang was so happy that she laughed in her sleep. But who knew that Lin Ruhai was so good to Jia Min. He only had two tongfang. One had to know that after she gave birth to Zhu 'er and Yuan Chun, Jia Zheng took in two more concubines. Who knew how many tongfang there were. There were also those beautiful servant girls in the study.
Jia Min actually had such a good life. How could she take this lying down?
Finally, Jia Min, that b * tch, went to Yangzhou. Finally, she was no longer in the capital. That damned old woman actually wanted to marry that b * tch Jia Min's little vixen to her jadeite.
How could this be!
Her jadeite was born with jade in its mouth. It was extraordinary from birth. In the future, it would have great prospects. How could that little vixen Jia Min gave birth to be worthy of her jadeite?
Her jadeite was something that even a princess was worthy of.
But who knew that Jia Min, that b * tch, was unwilling. In order to refuse, she even married that little vixen to a poor family.
Although in her opinion, that little vixen should be married to a poor family, what she couldn't bear the most was that the Lin family actually rejected her jadeite.
Her jadeite was the legitimate grandson of the Duke's Mansion. How could that poor family compare to it?
Every time she thought of this, Madam Wang was so angry that her heart hurt.
Madam Jia was annoyed. When she saw Madam Xing's petty appearance and Madam Wang's wooden appearance, she became even more annoyed. She waved her hand and drove them out.
Seeing Madam Wang walk out with her head lowered, Madam Jia's anger became even more unsettled.
Of course, she knew Madam Wang's thoughts. Wasn't she just eyeing the Xue family's money? She was really ignorant and short-sighted. The Xue family was said to be one of the four great families. But to put it bluntly, they were the three families' money bags.
It was just a merchant. If she wanted to knead them, she could do it with just a word. How could they be worthy of her jadeite?
But it was different for the Lin family. Lin Ruhai was originally a second-rank steward. This time, he would definitely be promoted to a first-rank official when he entered the capital.
With power and influence, how could they not have money?
Hmph — Second Brother's wife was an ignorant and stupid woman. She had married into the family for so many years, but she still hadn't made any progress.
Now, it was already impossible for Yu 'er. The Lin family — it seemed like she could only take it slow. It was more important to consider Yu's marriage first. She couldn't let that stupid woman delay Yu' er's marriage.
