Chapter 238 The Ministry of Accounts

The next day, the emperor's imperial decree appointed Lin Ruhai as the Minister of Household Affairs came down. This was agreed by the Supreme Emperor, so there was no obstruction.

Everyone in the capital received the news and marveled at Lin Ruhai's methods and grace.

This time, the Jia family's news did not fall behind, but the news did not make the Jia family happy.

Jia Mu was stunned for a moment and secretly regretted it in her heart. She glared at Mrs. Wang fiercely. It was because this foolish woman was careless and had a quarrel with the Lin family for her own selfish desires.

Jia Zheng's face was full of anger, and he didn't know who he was targeting. When Lin Ruhai was transferred back to the capital, he was very happy. As both scholars, Jia Zheng especially wanted to get close to Lin Ruhai. If he could use Lin Ruhai's connections, someone

A better official position would be even better.

Recalling what Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang had said to persuade him, Jia Zheng also stared at Mrs. Wang along with Jia Mu.

what to do?

As an elder, Jia's mother cannot bow her head to Lin Ruhai and admit her mistakes. Jia Zheng's temperament is not one of admitting mistakes either.

Forcing Mrs. Wang to admit her mistake to Lin Ruhai? That is even more impossible and unethical.

More importantly, Mrs. Jia Zhenghe is the biological parents of Concubine Xiande and Jia Baoyu. They cannot be wrong.

Thinking that since Lin Ruhai's illness was cured, she would come to visit Jia's house no matter what, Jia's mother no longer had so many worries.

"Send someone to ask Mr. Lin to come and say that my old lady misses Yu'er."

After receiving Jia Mu's letter, Jia Zheng and his wife no longer sat with Jia Mu and left together.

Jia Zheng waved his sleeves at Mrs. Wang and said, "Brother-in-law Lin is the Minister of Household Affairs. If you have his help, it will also be helpful to the empress. You must make arrangements."

After speaking, he left directly without waiting for Mrs. Wang's response.

Wang Xifeng is a shrewd person. After receiving the news about Lin Ruhai, she knew that Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang must be unhappy. At this time, she would not take the gun.

Zhou Rui's family whispered: "If the second grandma were here, the old lady and the old grandfather would not do this to my wife."

Of course Mrs. Wang knew that her words were far worse than Wang Xifeng's. Faced with the situation just now, she could only bow her head and admit her mistake. If Wang Xifeng were present, she could always find a decent excuse.

She had tried to persuade her just now, but she couldn't find a good reason even though she tried to persuade her several times.

Mrs. Wang complained: "Feng girl is too naughty, and things that are not beneficial are not sticky at all. I now hope that Baoyu will get married soon and find a caring daughter-in-law."

Zhou Rui's family also knows what's appropriate, and it's not her turn to say anything about Baoyu's marriage.

"I'm afraid I have to go to Lin's house tomorrow with Second Master Lian. Do you think you can ask someone to tell me now?" Zhou Rui's family reminded: "If Second Master Lian goes out tomorrow, or Second Mistress doesn't

Comfortable, how should it be?"

Yes, going to the Lin family is not an easy job. If the two of them find a way to avoid it, can they still let Baoyu go?

"You go ahead." Mrs. Wang glanced at Zhou Rui's family and said, "This is a big deal. They have to put everything aside."

Nowadays, the momentum of the second room has greatly increased, and even the servants of the second room are arrogant. Although the Zhou Rui family did not show it too obviously in front of Wang Xifeng, they could not hide it.

Wang Xifeng was so angry that she gritted her teeth and complained a little. Even if she arranged for a servant to visit her last time, she wouldn't be so passive. Now, the Lin family has become prosperous, and the two of them have to come to apologize.

But this was Jia Mu's order, and Wang Xifeng was unwilling to give up the stewardship in her hands, so she couldn't shirk it. She wanted to order her servants to carefully prepare some gifts, but there was no money left in her account.

Jia Lian got the news and rushed to Wang Xifeng to ask: "Feng'er, what did the old lady say?"

Wang Xifeng said: "What else can you say? Let us come and apologize."

Jia Lian felt guilty. Considering what the Jia family had done to the Lin family, if he were Lin Ruhai, he would have wanted to break into the Jia family.

"The old lady didn't say anything else?"

"What can the old lady say? I wasn't there at the time, so I don't know."

Jia Lian asked: "Don't you usually flatter me in front of the old lady? Why are you not here today?"

Wang Xifeng looked like a fool. It was too late to hide from such a thing, so why would she keep leaning forward?

Jia Lian also thought of this and smiled awkwardly.

Wang Xifeng asked: "We can't go to the Lin family empty-handed."

"You ask someone to prepare more gifts, and we will take them there."

Wang Xifeng mocked: "Second Master said it lightly, but how can there be any money in the public account?"

Jia Lian thought of the solitary calligraphy and paintings that scholars loved most, and said, "You are right to ask someone to search for some books, calligraphy and paintings in the old library, and prepare some gifts for Sister Lin."

"is this okay?"

"What can I do if it doesn't work? Don't worry, what I love most is books, calligraphy and painting. Uncle Lin is also a scholar, so my preferences should be the same as mine."

Wang Xifeng thought about it, Lin Daiyu was also a book lover, and Lin Ruhai must have the same preferences as sister Lin.

Fortunately, the housekeepers of the Jia family did not take advantage of Lao Kuli's unique calligraphy and paintings, which saved Wang Xifeng a lot of trouble.

In fact, these are just wild suspicions of the Jia family.

Lin Daiyu is the only daughter left in the Lin family. No matter how much hatred there is in Lin Ruhai's heart, she will not take action easily.

Wang Xifeng met Lin Daiyu at Lin's house, and suddenly she looked like a different person. The impression she had of Lin Daiyu was that of a weak little girl with a noble aura. The Lin Daiyu in front of her seemed quite capable,

Handle matters at home in an orderly manner.

When it comes to housekeeping, Wang Xifeng also has some experience. But after looking at the Lin family's management methods, she has to admit that it is much easier than her own methods.

After Lin Daiyu finished handling it, she said to Wang Xifeng: "Make Sister Feng laugh."

Hearing Lin Daiyu's tone as before, Wang Xifeng felt happy. Sister Lin would not hide it, she just liked her if she liked her. Now she did not ridicule her, which meant that the Lin family did not care about what the Jia family did.

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "How can we sisters talk about this? I am also a regular housekeeper, how can I not know the hard work involved."

Lin Daiyu said in greeting: "My younger sister is not as good as Sister Feng. My father and I are the only two people in the family, so I am in a hurry."

Wang Xifeng didn't see where he was in a hurry, but he was somewhat at ease.

Lin Daiyu asked: "How are you these days, old lady?"

"Okay! Why not?" Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "No, I heard about Uncle Lin's happy event and asked Lian Er and I to come over to celebrate you."

There is nothing to celebrate. If it were really possible, Lin Daiyu would rather not take this official position.

Lin Daiyu still had a lot of affection for Wang Xifeng, and she had never done anything to the Lin family.

"Sister Feng, I also know that you came here with an errand. You can rest assured that my father will take me to visit the old lady tomorrow."

Wang Xifeng got the news she wanted most, and her face became even more happy. She thought the Lin family would have to deal with Qiao for a while, but she didn't expect it to be so easy.

After that, I chatted with Lin Daiyu about some things about Sanchun. When the news came that Jia Lian was going back, Wang Xifeng also breathed a sigh of relief.
