In fact, when he first heard these things,
The Jia Lian was still a little skeptical. Because Jia Xie had told too many lies in the past, he didn't know how much was true and how much was false. But gradually,
He had to believe,
What his father said was true.
The old lady and the others all told him,
His mother was just from a poor family, and because she was beautiful, his father married her. But his father told him that not only was his mother not from a poor family, she was from a scholarly family whose father and brothers were all officials in the court. Although she was once banished from the capital by the retired emperor,
After the new emperor ascended the throne, she was once again put in an important position. The Jia Lian suddenly felt that,
His failure in studying might not be because of his parents, but because there was a problem with the family school and Second Uncle's teaching. The Jia family had studied for so many years,
But they had never seen anyone become a scholar,
And Zhu dage, whom Second Uncle and everyone had high hopes for,
But he didn't do well in the imperial examinations. If he had the teachings of his maternal grandfather and uncle,
He might have become a scholar by now.
And his elder brother, who was killed at the age of five, was not even allowed to enter the ancestral grave because he was young when he died. The Jia Lian had once wondered,
Jia Zhu was called Master Zhu, and he was called Second Master Lian.
Shouldn't Baoyu be called Third Master Bao? Why did everyone call him Second Master Bao. It was also at that time that he found out that he once had an elder brother who was five years older than him. And according to the old lady and the others,
His elder brother was naughty and mischievous,
Similar to Jia Huan,
So he climbed the rockery and fell to his death because he was playful.
As for his father, Jia Xie, the Jia Lian felt that it was even more amazing. It was the first time the Jia Lian found out that his father was the famous Prince Rui's study companion. Prince Rui's name could be said to be known by everyone, from six year old children to eighty year old elders. Especially when Prince Rui usurped the throne, the entire capital was in a state of panic, afraid that Prince Rui's knife would suddenly be on their necks. At that time, he was very experienced, because he was one of the people who sent gifts to Duke Xiu and the Third Prince. Thinking of this, the Jia Lian broke out in a cold sweat. Although it was the old madam and Second Uncle's orders to curry favor with the Third Prince and Duke Xiu's Mansion, once something happened, they could completely wash their hands of it and push him out to be the scapegoat.
The Jia Lian wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and scolded himself for being stupid for not seeing through the conspiracy. At that time, he naively wanted to take all the responsibility to protect the safety of Rongguo Province. If he had really done that at that time, those people who harmed him would probably be laughing in their sleep at night.
After that, he hid at home for half a year until Rui Wang Wang left Jing before he dared to leave the house. At that time, he had thought that he was just a minor character that Rui Wang Wang didn't pay any attention to. Thinking about it now, it should have been because of his father.
For the first time in twenty years, this was the Jia Lian's first time experiencing the feeling of being protected by his father. It was indescribably … weird.
While the Jia Lian was cautiously enjoying his father's love, Lin Daiyu was completely immersed in Lin Ruhai's doting love and couldn't extricate herself.
After eating dinner, Lin Ruhai played chess with Lin Daiyu for a while and told her some stories from the Book of Songs. He even quoted from the classics, making the ordinary stories full of interest. Lin Daiyu listened with great interest. When it was time to go to bed, Lin Ruhai reluctantly sent Lin Daiyu back to her room to rest. Lin Daiyu was also very reluctant to part with Lin Ruhai. After pestering him for a long time, she reluctantly went back to her room.
The room was arranged according to her preferences, so Lin Daiyu liked it at first glance. Compared to Rongguo Province, she felt more comfortable here.
Not long after, a young maidservant brought in a bowl of milk, saying that drinking it before bed could calm her nerves. When the milk was boiled, she added a little jasmine tea. After the milk was boiled, the tea leaves were removed. Not only did the milk's original rank odor disappear, but it also emitted a lingering fragrance.
Father seemed to be more attentive than before.
Lin Daiyu drank it in one gulp, her heart filled with sweetness.
"Look at how happy you are, Miss. You can't even close your mouth," the Xue Yan teased.
Lin Daiyu blushed and hurriedly pursed her lips. The next moment, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed out loud. "Father just laughed at me during the day, and now you're laughing at me. I'm not going to let this go. How are you going to compensate me? "
The Xue Yan smiled and extended her face. "How about this servant's face compensate Miss?"
"Who wants your face?" Lin Daiyu pretended to push the Xue Yan's head away in disgust. "I'll punish you … um … I'll punish you by forbidding you from laughing for two days."
"Aiya, this servant really can't do that," the Xue Yan said with a smile. "As long as this servant thinks about going home, the corners of this servant's mouth can't fall. What should I do? Miss, please take away this servant's face. "
Lin Daiyu and the Xue Yan were laughing and joking, but Zi Yuan's eyes were in a daze. Her thoughts had drifted to somewhere unknown.
Lin Daiyu and the Xue Yan played for a while. Seeing that Zi Yuan was in a daze, Lin Daiyu asked with concern, "Zi Yuan, what's wrong? Is there something on your mind?"
Zi Yuan was in a daze. After a while, she reacted and shook her head. "This servant is fine …"
"You've been acting strange since just now. Were you frightened by my father?" Lin Daiyu smiled. "You don't have to be afraid. Father is actually very kind. It's just that sometimes he's a little strict. You'll understand as time goes by. "
A trace of bitterness appeared at the corner of Zi Yuan's mouth. As time went by … That's right. Miss wasn't going back to Rongguo Province. She couldn't go back with her …
Lin Daiyu was exceptionally intelligent. She quickly understood the source of Zi Yuan's troubles.
"Zi Yuan, do you … want to go back to Rongguo Province?" Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and said very seriously, "Actually, I understand how you feel. I was also very nervous and a little scared on the first day I arrived in Rongguo Province. That was my maternal grandfather's home, but this is a strange place where you don't have any relatives. " She bit her lower lip and said with great difficulty, "Zi Yuan, I know that you're very uneasy and can't bear to leave your family. If you want to go back, although I can't bear to, I won't stop you. I'll let Father know. When Cousin Lian goes back, you can go back with him. "
Zi Yuan opened her mouth and said with great difficulty, "This servant doesn't know … Although this servant was given to Miss by the Old Madam, this servant likes Miss very much. Miss also treats this servant very well. Over the past year, we've developed a lot of feelings. This servant really can't bear to leave Miss. However, this servant was born in Rongguo Province. My family is there. This servant also can't bear to leave them … "More importantly, her family's indenture contract was in the Old Madam's hands. The Lin family might be able to get her indenture contract back, but what about her parents and brothers? Moreover, she had chosen to follow Miss Lin. In the eyes of the people in Rongguo Province, would this be considered an act of betrayal? If that really happened, her parents and brothers would never be able to raise their heads in Rongguo Province for the rest of their lives.
As a servant, Xue Yan could understand Zi Yuan's feelings very well. Miss was still alright. After all, she had the status of a master. Those servants would only gossip behind her back. She still had to be respectful on the surface. However, it was different for them. Take herself as an example. She was a member of the Lin family. Fundamentally, she was not in the same group as the Jia family. Want to be close friends with them? It would be very difficult. Furthermore, her every word and action represented Miss and the Lin family. If she said something wrong or did something wrong, it wouldn't matter if she was laughed at, but it would also implicate Miss and the Lin family. Therefore, in the past year in Rongguo Province, she had been very cautious and careful. It had really been a bit tiring. Now that she was home, even if this wasn't the Lam Mansion that she was familiar with, she still felt very relaxed. Therefore, the current Zi Yuan must be as cautious as her in Rongguo Province. She must feel very uncomfortable.
Xue Yan thought for a moment and advised, "Miss, Second Master Lian probably won't leave so soon. Let's not think about this right now. It won't be too late to let Sister Zi Yuan think about it before making a decision. We just came back. "
Lin Daiyu nodded dejectedly, "Xue Yan is right. Zi Yuan, think about it carefully for a while. When you've made up your mind, tell me. Don't hide it from me. No matter if you choose to leave or stay, I … will always remember our friendship. I won't forget it. "As she spoke, the rims of her eyes inevitably turned red.
Zi Yuan's eyes were also glistening with tears, "This servant has always known that Miss values friendship the most." She wiped her tears with her sleeve and said self-reproachfully, "Really, it's rare for Miss to be so happy today. In the end, this servant made you cry. This servant really deserves a thousand deaths. Miss, don't cry. Be careful that your eyes are swollen tomorrow. Master will be distressed again. Xue Yan, quickly get a wet towel for Miss to wipe her eyes. I'll remove the hairpin from Miss's head. Miss should rest. "
Xue Yan sighed and hurriedly went to get a warm handkerchief for Lin Daiyu to wipe her face.
Zi Yuan saw that Lin Daiyu was still not in high spirits, so she bent down and moved her face closer, "If Miss is really sad, then take my face. After all, I'm thick-skinned and can't shed tears. In the future, even if I'm thick-skinned, I can still accompany Miss to cry. "
"You can cry by yourself. I won't go." Lin Daiyu finally smiled through her tears.
Perhaps it was because she had returned home, but Lin Daiyu slept very soundly.
Xue Yan said softly, "Miss slept very well. You didn't even wake up last night. You actually slept until now."
"That's right." Zi Yuan's mouth was slightly bitter.
Previously, when she lived in Rongguo Province, Lin Daiyu had to wake up once or twice every night. Moreover, when she woke up, it was not easy for her to fall asleep again. Usually, she would read for a while after waking up, and when she felt sleepy, she would go back to sleep. However, most of the time, she did not feel sleepy at all until they woke up.
It seemed that it was better for Miss to stay at home.
Lin Daiyu woke up on her own when it was five o 'clock in the morning. Because she remembered that she had returned home, she happily hugged her pillow and rubbed against it before sitting up.
Zi Yuan and Xue Yan heard the noise and hurriedly lifted the curtains. It was another round of tossing and turning.
Because she had a good sleep, Lin Daiyu drank an extra bowl of soup in the morning. She wiped her mouth, washed her hands, and rinsed her mouth. A maidservant came in to report that Doctor Wan had arrived.
It was the Godly Doctor!
Lin Daiyu immediately opened her eyes wide and became restless. She really wanted to see the Godly Doctor's true appearance. However, when she thought about how she was already seven years old and how she had hurt her father's heart because of the 'men and women at seven years old should not sit together' incident, she could only restrain her temper and sit obediently on the chair.
Lin Daiyu thought that she was being very obedient, but Lin Ruhai saw that she was restlessly twisting and turning on the chair, as if she was sitting on pins and needles. Her big eyes were also filled with curiosity. He could not help but laugh and secretly shook his head.
His precious daughter's temperament was really too simple. All her thoughts were written on her face. It was fine when she was at home, but what would he do when she got married?
Lin Ruhai could not help but sigh in his heart. This kind of thing could not be rushed. It was more important to solve the most important problem at hand.
"Let's go. Come with me to see Doctor Wan."
Lin Daiyu immediately jumped down from the chair and walked a few steps towards Lin Ruhai before stopping. She lowered her head and said hesitantly, "Father, can Daughter go? Daughter is already seven years old. "
Lin Ruhai rubbed Lin Daiyu's little head and said with a smile, "The other party is a doctor. Moreover, I will be there, so it won't be a problem. It seems that your father was too strict yesterday and scared you. Actually, this dynasty's requirements for women are not strict, and I will not be unreasonable. It's not that you are not allowed to see other men, but you must remember not to live in the same room with other men and not to have any physical contact. "
Lin Daiyu nodded vigorously and pursed her lips into a smile, "Daughter will remember."
Lin Ruhai smiled and did not say anything else. He only indicated for her to follow him.
Lin Daiyu had always thought that to be called a Godly Doctor, one must have great medical skills. However, great medical skills required a long time of hard work and accumulation. Therefore, the Godly Doctor should be an old man with white hair and a silver beard.
She stole a glance at the young man in front of her. He was about the same age as Cousin Lian. His appearance was simple and not outstanding, but it was indescribably comfortable.
Lin Daiyu deeply sighed. So, age and medical skills were not related. This should be what the books said about "Don't judge a book by its cover". You can't doubt a person's medical skills just because they are young.
After exchanging a few words with Lin Ruhai, Wan Li looked at Lin Daiyu and asked, "This is Miss Lin?"
"Yes, it is my daughter." Lin Ruhai nodded and lightly patted Lin Daiyu's shoulder, saying, "Yu 'er, this is the Doctor Wan that I mentioned to you before. Why aren't you greeting him?"
Lin Daiyu gracefully curtsied.
Wan Li had actually noticed Lin Daiyu a long time ago. He sighed in his heart. The Lin family really didn't know how to raise a child. It was just that when she was born, her body was a bit weak. They had to ask for doctors and medicine. What was even more unfortunate was that the doctor they invited was unreliable. This caused the originally three points of deficiency to become five points. If this continued, it would continue to worsen.
Lin Ruhai sighed and said, "I mentioned to you before that my daughter was born with a deficiency. She took medicine when she was eating and saw many doctors, but there was no improvement …"
Wan Li didn't know what to say anymore. Taking medicine when she was eating was similar to taking chronic poison when she was eating. Even if she didn't feel happy or sad and spent all day recuperating, she wouldn't live past the age of twenty.
"Later, madam's maternal family recommended an imperial physician …" Lin Ruhai paused, "It was the fake imperial physician that you said was a quack. Before my daughter went to the capital, he was the one who treated her."
Lin Daiyu had been quietly listening to the elders talk, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
That white-haired old imperial physician was a fake?
But wasn't that old imperial physician someone her mother had begged her maternal grandmother's family to spend a large amount of money to invite? How could it be fake? Did the old imperial physician deceive her maternal grandmother's family, or did her maternal grandmother deceive them …
Lin Daiyu shook her head forcefully. Definitely not. The matriarch loved her mother and her so much. Her uncle and aunt didn't seem like bad people. Why would they deceive her mother? She must be overthinking it.
"Official Lin's body is fine now. You don't need to take medicine anymore." Wan Li withdrew his hand and said, "However, this one still wants to say a few words. In the future, when Official Lin is busy with official business, get up every hour or two to walk a few steps. You don't have to walk much, just the time it takes to brew a cup of tea is enough. An appropriate amount of walking can help strengthen the spleen and stomach. Also, pay attention to your diet and take as little medicine as possible. As long as Official Lin doesn't suffer from any major illness or disaster in the future, and you follow this one's instructions, living to the ripe old age of seventy won't be a problem. "
Lin Ruhai was overjoyed and expressed his thanks again. His life was basically saved. Living to the ripe old age of seventy was a pleasant surprise. Actually, as long as he could live until Lin Daiyu got married and established a foothold in her husband's family, he would be very satisfied.
Lin Daiyu was also smiling happily to the side. She was happy and at the same time, felt a bit of pity. If her mother and younger brother had met the godly doctor when they were still alive, perhaps they wouldn't have died.
Wan Li took Lin Daiyu's pulse again. After muttering to himself for a moment, he said, "Although Miss Lin has a congenital deficiency, it can't be considered an illness. It's just that her body is a bit weak. It's actually very easy to nurse her back to health. To be honest … Miss Lin was pampered too much in the past. That's why she looks so weak. "
Lin Ruhai stared blankly. From what he knew, daughters should be pampered. Moreover, Daiyu's body was weak to begin with. He had always pampered her and raised her in the palm of his hand. Now, he was actually being told that everything he did before was wrong. It was because of his wrong way of raising Daiyu that her body was getting weaker and weaker … Lin Ruhai's entire body was in a bad state.
Wan Li smiled and said, "Official Lin doesn't need to blame yourself. Most wealthy families pamper their children just like you. Sometimes, a good child will also be pampered by them. It's as if they'll be blown away by the wind. "
Lin Ruhai didn't feel much better because he thought of his only son who hadn't lived past the age of three. That child was even more pampered than Daiyu. He didn't know if it was because of this, but a small cold took his life.
He didn't dare to think about it anymore. He hurriedly steadied his mind and said, "Doctor, you must save my daughter."
"I don't dare say that I can save her. Miss Lin just needs to throw away all the medicine she usually takes. She also needs to eat less ginseng and other supplements. Like adults, she needs to nourish her body as much as possible. If possible, she should try to walk more every day. It's even better if she can run for a while. As long as a child runs and jumps more, her body will naturally get better. "
Lin Ruhai kept this in mind. He asked about many other things that needed to be taken note of. He said, "My daughter has only been eating ginseng nourishing pills recently. I didn't expect them to be harmful."
When Wan Li heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "Official Lin, can you let me see the ginseng nourishing pills that Miss Lin has been eating recently?"
Lin Ruhai immediately became nervous. He thought that there was something wrong with the pills and hurriedly ordered someone to take them.
Wan Li took out one of the pills. He sniffed it and put it in his mouth. He smiled and said, "As expected."
"What, is there something wrong with this pill?"
Not only was Lin Ruhai nervous, but Lin Daiyu's eyes also widened.
"It's nothing. It's just that the ginseng inside is made up of dregs, so the medicinal effect is greatly reduced. Miss Lin can be considered to have profited from a disaster."
Lin Daiyu clenched her handkerchief and bit her lip. Her small face was tense.
Lin Ruhai was speechless. He didn't need to investigate to know that Lady Wang had secretly instructed her to do this. Regardless of whether she was greedy or intentionally harmed Daiyu's body, it was true that Daiyu had benefited from a freak combination of factors. He didn't know whether he should hate her or be grateful to her.
Lin Ruhai then thought that if Lady Wang could replace the ginseng in the ginseng nourishing pills with dregs, wouldn't she be able to add poison to it in the future? Why didn't she add poison now? It was probably because she was afraid that Daiyu would die before her. If that happened, they wouldn't be able to get a single cent of the Lin family's property.
Jia Xie thought that after a night, the Jia Lian should have digested most of the information, so she happily went to look for him. However, when she saw him, she was shocked. The two dark circles under his eyes were simply too horrible to look at. If he didn't believe that no one here had poisoned him, he would have thought that the Jia Lian had been poisoned!
"You … you didn't sleep all night?"
The Jia Lian looked at the Jia Xie speechlessly with two dark circles under his eyes. He suddenly knew so many secrets, and he suddenly realized that he was standing on the edge of a cliff and could fall at any time. It would be strange if he could sleep.
Jia Xie also felt that her question was a little stupid. She awkwardly touched her head and said, "Actually, I told you those things because I wanted you to be more careful. Don't listen to everything that Second Brother's wife says. When the time comes, you won't even know if you've been set up by them."
"Master, isn't it a little late for you to say that?" The Jia Lian's face was full of grief. "I've already been set up by them to come to Yangzhou. Even if I don't take a single cent of the Lin family's property, when I go back, they'll still pour dirty water on me. At that time, I'll really die of injustice. "
Jia Xie patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Your uncle is fine. He won't die."
"Uncle … he's okay?" The Jia Lian's eyes widened in disbelief. "But in the letter he wrote to the old lady, he clearly said that he was dying and wanted to see Sister Lin for the last time …"
"Oh, that's what I taught him." Jia Xie proudly shook her head and said, "If you don't say that, the old lady won't let her go easily. After your aunt passed away, the old lady wrote several letters to your uncle before she finally got Lin Luoran. How could she send her back so easily? When the time comes, she'll write back and forth and wrangle again. You see, when your uncle said that he was dying, the old lady quickly asked you to send Lin Luoran back, right? "
The Jia Lian nodded and suddenly thought of something. He suddenly raised his head and asked in confusion, "Father, you haven't told me why you came to Yangzhou. Do you want to drive a wedge between my uncle and the old lady, and then pull my uncle to our first branch's side … "The Jia Lian instantly turned into a conspiracy.
Jia Xie blushed with embarrassment. At that time, he really didn't think so much. He just wanted to make Lin Ruhai angry.
"Let's talk about this later. Let's talk about something else first." Jia Xie stiffly changed the topic and said, "It's a long story. I have to start from Jinling …"
Jia Xie was eloquent and spoke like a storyteller. The Jia Lian listened with great interest and only lacked melon seeds to accompany him.
But when he heard that after Jia Min passed away, those escorts followed the instructions in the letter he gave them and used Lin Ruhai's name to do evil outside, the Jia Lian jumped up as if his buttocks were on fire and shouted, "It has nothing to do with me. I don't even know what was written in the letter. When the second aunt gave it to me, she didn't say anything. I was just a messenger! I was wronged! "
Jia Xie hurriedly comforted him and said, "Don't panic, don't panic. I have already explained to your uncle. You were just deceived by the second aunt. Your uncle also said that he believed that you didn't know. But if you have a chance, you still have to apologize to your uncle. Although you didn't know, you are still an accomplice. "
"Accomplice?" The Jia Lian was so angry that he almost vomited blood. "Then I am an accomplice? If my uncle didn't know the inside story and my second aunt pretended to be ignorant, wouldn't I be the mastermind? Wouldn't I be wronged? I have never done anything illegal in my life. As a result, I have been beheaded one after another. Even if I had nine lives, it wouldn't be enough! "
"Don't be afraid. Your father is here!" Jia Xie finally had a place to vent his fatherly love. "Father will never let anyone hurt you. Didn't you see that the second aunt's conspiracy was resolved by father? "
Jia Lian looked at Jia She with hidden bitterness. "Of course I know. Who knows how many traps I've jumped into without being discovered!"
Jia She had no choice but to say, "It's fine. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. When the boat reaches the top of the wall, it will naturally straighten itself out. I won't let anything happen to you. You just have to wait to inherit Rongguo Province. Don't think too much about anything else. "
Jia Lian suddenly felt that Jia Xie's image was much bigger than before. In fact, when he thought about it carefully, he realized that the story of a broken family, suffering humiliation for decades, and receiving help from a noble to take revenge was exactly the same as the story of the main character who became the big winner in the end. Could it be that his father was actually a man of great wisdom who pretended to be stupid?
"Hmph! Even if I destroy Rongguo Province, I won't let the second family have it! "
Jia Lian: … It seemed that he was thinking too much.
The secret guards were very loyal to their duties. They reported everything that happened in Purple Bamboo Garden and Riches and Honor Courtyard in a timely and comprehensive manner.
Lin Ruhai's side was similar to what Shuijing had guessed. There were all kinds of warmth and tears. The Lin family's daughter looked smart, but she was a little thoughtful. He didn't know why she had so many things to worry about at such a young age.
Jia Xie's side was more interesting than Shuijing had imagined. Jia Xie's father and son were really interesting. The Jia Lian's reaction was also very interesting.
Shuijing asked the secret guard to describe the scene in detail with great emotion.
The secret guard was very distressed. He had learned martial arts, secret language, how to investigate and gather information, such as astronomy and geography, but he had never learned storytelling. Although he had heard of storytelling before, the secret guard had always believed that silence was golden. He really didn't know anything about eloquence.
Shuijing didn't enjoy listening to the secret guard at all. He waved his hand and asked the secret guard who was about to die of embarrassment to go back to work. He thought that it was time to meet them.
Jia Xie and Lin Ruhai received a notice that night, asking them to bring their children to Shuijing at nine in the morning the next day.
Jia Xie looked at the two dark circles under the Jia Lian's eyes and sighed, "I don't know if your dark circles will disappear tomorrow?"
Jia Lian was happy but also a little scared. There was no way around it. The shadow that Prince Rui had left on him was too big, "Lao ye, what is wang ye like? Is he really as tall as the rumors say, with a green face and fangs? There are also people who say that his hands aren't normal people's hands, but soul grabbing hooks. One claw can dig out a person's heart … … "
"What nonsense, don't speak blindly." Jia Xie hurriedly covered his mouth, "You're already so old, don't you know what to say and what not to say? Green face and fangs are ghosts. These are all rumors spread by those who have a guilty conscience. Why are you blindly following along! "
Jia Lian blinked his eyes. He really wanted to ask his dad to investigate which one of them was the one that liked to "blindly make a fuss and speak nonsense."
Jia Xie thought that Jia Lian understood and put down her hand, saying: "In short, you have to behave well tomorrow. If ye can leave a good impression on you, it will be easier for me to ask for an outside position for you."
"Outside position?"
"If you're not outside position, you still want to be a steward for lao er's family!" Jia Xie said unhappily, "At the beginning, your position won't be high, but even if it's a small position, you have to work hard. Having real power is better than the empty position you have. Dad believes in you. As long as you work hard, you will definitely be promoted. As for Rongguo Province, I'll take care of it! You can be an outside official and I can take care of those people without any worries. "
Jia Lian heard this and felt a wave of emotion.
Jia Xie patted his shoulder and said sincerely: "I'm only saying this to you. Don't go outside. I grew up with ye. Most of the time, ye is very easy to get along with, except for betrayal. As long as you betray me once, ye won't give you another chance. You also know what happened to Prince Zhongyi in the past. If it wasn't for the fact that the court still needs to operate, many people would have been kicked out of the court.
。 His Highness should want to replace all of them. It probably happened too suddenly and he couldn't find so many people to replace him. If you look carefully, those who were loyal to Prince Zhongyi, such as your maternal grandmother's family, have all been reinstated. Those who participated in the plot against Prince Zhongyi or watched coldly from the sidelines, or those who were loyal to the Retired Emperor, have been silently demoted. You don't know why, because people have already been found to replace them. So right now, the court is in urgent need of people. Dad has been a playboy for most of his life, so he knows his place and doesn't want to get involved. But you're different. You're still young and have the ability. Your maternal grandmother's family will also help you because of your mother. Dad has already opened the path for you to be loyal to the Emperor. The rest of the path is up to you. "
Jia Lian couldn't help feeling excited and his blood was boiling. As long as it was a man with ambition, who wouldn't want to make a name for themselves and bring glory to their ancestors? Jia Lian was actually quite ambitious. He also wanted to know what it felt like to be lonely at the top. It was just that no one gave him a chance before. Now he could finally let go of his hands and feet.
Jia Xie was also rubbing his hands. He already couldn't wait to see Jia Zheng's expression when he found out that Jia Ge had become a high official. Humph! When that time comes, you'll be angered to death. You've been a fifth rank official for most of your life.
On the other side, Lin Ruhai was also explaining the rules to Lin Daiyu and reminding him of various things. Even though he knew that Lin Daiyu was someone who understood the rules and etiquette, Lin Ruhai didn't have the confidence after spending a year in Rongguo Province where there were no rules. It had to be said that it was too easy to be influenced by one's company.
After he finished, Lin Ruhai smiled and comforted him, "Actually, Wang Ye is a very kind person. Even though there are some bad rumors, you don't need to be afraid. As long as you follow the rules, Wang Ye won't make it hard for you. You can just act like you used to when you met dad's old friends at home. "
Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry. Yu 'er won't make dad lose face. Also, Yu 'er isn't afraid of Wang Ye at all. Actually, Yu' er is a bit curious. "
"Oh?" Lin Ruhai was interested, "Curious about what?"
"Un … …" Lin Daiyu tilted her head and thought, "Daughter thinks that Wang Ye is a very emotional person. What everyone knows is mostly concentrated in that year. Before and after that, there's very little news about Wang Ye. Daughter guesses that Wang Ye likes to live a carefree life. But why would he do something like that at that time? Daughter thinks that it has something to do with Prince Zhongyi's death. I heard that Wang Ye and Prince Zhongyi had a very good relationship. Even though they were grandfather and grandson, they were like brothers. Un … … Didn't the opera say that? For brothers, they could throw their heads and blood. Wang Ye was able to do so many things for Prince Zhongyi, so he must be a very emotional person. Normally, people who are emotional are not bad people. Also, as long as you treat him well, he will treat you well. "
Lin Ruhai was shocked, too shocked. He didn't think that Lin Daiyu would have such insight at such a young age. Even he didn't dare to be as sure as she was.
Seeing that Lin Ruhai didn't say anything for a long time, Lin Daiyu thought that she had said something wrong. She weakly said: "Father, did daughter talk too much? I'm sorry father. In the future, daughter won't talk about these things. Don't be angry. "
Lin Ruhai reacted and hurriedly said: "Father was just a little surprised, you weren't angry. You only told father that you thought of these things yourself? "
Lin Daiyu secretly glanced at Lin Ruhai's face. Seeing that he really wasn't angry, she nodded.
Lin Ruhai thought for a bit and asked: "But don't you think that Wang Ye was too cruel at that time? I heard that the blood on the ground of the capital was so heavy that it couldn't be washed clean even after three days and three nights of heavy rain. "
In the end, Lin Daiyu was still a little girl. When she heard about blood, her face immediately turned white. However, she still said: "The 《Analects》 says that if you repay evil with good, then you repay good with good. Since you chose to harm others, then you should bear the consequences of being retaliated against. You can't blame others. "
Lin Ruhai was once again shocked. At the same time, he felt a bit of regret. Daiyu was a girl. No matter how knowledgeable she was, she could only be trapped in the backyard, unable to do anything.
