In early winter, Lin Ruhai took an official ship back to Yangzhou and continued to serve as the salt patrol censor.
Nowadays, the emperor has not agreed to his request for a change of office, and the emperor's attitude is very firm.
Everyone who understands understands, and those who don’t understand don’t need to understand.
Jia Rong just sent the people to the gate of the city, then turned and returned to the clan school.
How Lin Ruhai would choose was no longer within his scope of consideration at this time.
By the way, it must have been a few years since the story of Red Mansions began.
Jia Baoyu was five years old at this time, and Lin Daiyu was four years old, only two years before she was six years old.
Of course, with his presence, even if Lin Ruhai did not listen to the advice and ended up with his family being ruined, the story of the Red Mansion would not be the same as it originally was.
At least, when Jia Zhu was still alive, Jia Baoyu's status was not that important.
Even if they want to give Jia Zhu face, the old lady of Rong Mansion and Mrs. Wang will not go too far.
In this way, even if Lin Daiyu comes, there will definitely be no more scenes of falling out of jade. Do you think there will be no male in the second wife?
When Lin Daiyu comes to visit, Jia Zhu will definitely show up. How can she tolerate Jia Baoyu's wantonness?
As far as Jia Rong knew, Jia Zhu didn't have a good impression of Jia Baoyu.
Thinking about it, Jia Baoyu's words and deeds are sometimes too rebellious and impactful, which is difficult for Jia Zhu, who has received traditional Confucian teachings, to accept.
In addition, Jia Baoyu's existence actually seriously affected the status of his legitimate son Jia Lan in the government.
Although he is the eldest grandson, Mrs. Wang still prefers Jia Baoyu, which makes it difficult for Jia Zhu and Li Wan to accept it.
Especially the rumor of being born with jade made Jia Zhu very unhappy.
By the way, Jia Zhu is also a bit strange. I couldn't tell it when I was studying in school. Now that I'm married and have a son, some temperaments similar to those of Mr. Zheng are gradually revealed.
For example, I like the fragrance that adds fragrance to my sleeves.
Even if he had to lie in bed for half a year every year to recuperate, it would not stop him from doing what a scholar loves most in the study.
As a result, his body and bones have been recuperating for almost two years, but they are still the same. No one can say whether he will be able to recover next year.
In addition, Jialan soon gained two more concubine siblings.
In short, the second room of Rong Mansion is full of descendants, and it is really lively.
I heard that Master Pardon was very jealous and was quite dissatisfied with Lian Er and Wang Xifeng for the delay in getting results.
Although the eldest son of the Rong Mansion also has three children, he only has one direct descendant, Lian Er. How could he not pay attention to them?
Jia Rong had heard Lian Er complain about a lot of hardships. From time to time, the elder would call him to reprimand him, which made him very embarrassed.
That is to say, he had some career-related thoughts that distracted most of his energy.
Otherwise, with Lian Er's temperament, he might not be able to resist flirting with others long ago.
But that's it, the four maids around Wang Xifeng, and Hele among the four Ping'an and Hele, have been assigned to the stewards of the mansion by Wang Xifeng.
It must be their luck that Lian Er was just teasing and not serious about it. Otherwise, with Wang Xifeng's temperament, he might have killed someone.
But even so, there were several minor conflicts between Lian Er and Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng felt a lot of pressure, but she was unwilling to give up her power to manage the miscellaneous affairs in the government because of childbirth.
At the same time, Lian Er was not allowed to mess around with others, making him suspicious and bad-tempered all day long.
It can only be said that luckily Lian Er works as an errand in the Hubu Yamen and is busy with affairs all day long and has no time to think about romance. Otherwise, he and Wang Xifeng would have had a big conflict long ago.
But even so, it can be clearly felt that the relationship between the two is not as close as it was when they first got married.
Of course, these were all said by Qin Keqing and Jia Rong while chatting.
As for whether it was true, Jia Rong was not in the mood to find out.
He himself is also a steamed bun, one of the unlucky ones who was born.
However, he is only in his early sixteen years now. Is it normal to have a child so early?
Although from the appearance, he is close to 1.8 meters tall, he is strong and intimidating, and is taller and stronger than the average adult man.
But the problem is that his desire to have a child is not strong, and the situation on Qin Keqing's side is unclear.
Qin Keqing is reincarnated as the sister of Jing Huan Fairy. It is hard to say whether she will leave any descendants.
The key thing is that the light group of luck in the void above Qin Keqing's head has always been in a state of severe desaturation.
She has been married into the Ning Mansion for more than two years, and has received gifts of luck from the Ning Mansion and the entire Jia clan in the capital, but her luck aura does not seem to have improved much.
So the question is, where did most of the luck go?
Jia Rong boldly guessed that it should be through Qin Keqing that he was transferred to the Taixu Illusion Realm where the Jinghuan Fairy is, right?
He didn't know if that was the case, but it probably wouldn't be beneficial to leaving descendants.
Fortunately, Qin Keqing has no memory of past lives.
After marrying into the Ning Mansion, her performance has always been quite good. She is praised by everyone from top to bottom. In terms of ability, she is much better than Wang Xifeng.
They can only display their talents in the palace. Qin Keqing is able to manage the palace in an orderly manner and is praised by his peers, which is quite remarkable.
On the other hand, Wang Xifeng just had a direct fight with a steward's wife and a steward's wife. There is absolutely no comparison.
The only thing that wasn't good at all was that Qin Keqing didn't know what was going on. Not only did she frequently visit Rong Mansion as a guest, but she was also very respectful to the old lady.
Jia Rong had no idea about this, she just felt unhappy.
Even though he knew that his relationship with the old lady of Rong Mansion was average, Qin Keqing was still very flattering, which made Jia Rong really unhappy.
The old lady of the Rong Mansion also wanted to build relationships, but anyway, she blurted out all kinds of compliments to Qin Keqing as if she didn't want money.
How could Jia Rong be comfortable with the idea of "the first among great-great-grandchildren's daughters-in-law"?
Fortunately, Qin Keqing's good relationship with the Rong Mansion was just for communication between the women in the inner house, and they did not participate in other matters, so Jia Rong didn't pay much attention to it.
Qin Keqing only informed Qin Keqing when he was resting at night.
Speaking of which, Jia Rong looked down upon the remaining subordinates of the deposed prince.
Damn it, a princess who has not entered the royal family has been trained to look like this?
However, the old lady of Rong Mansion has a respected status and indeed has some power in her hands.
But at this time, the center of the Jia family in the capital was the Ning Mansion, so there was no need to give too much face to the Rong Mansion.
Apart from anything else, the resources Qin Keqing can use will definitely make the deposed prince and his gang red-eyed with their remaining strength.
Fortunately, Qin Keqing did not secretly transfer resources for unknown reasons, and Jia Rong had no intention of guessing.
His idea is very simple. As long as Qin Keqing keeps to himself and does not do anything that endangers the safety of Ning Mansion, it will not be a problem to ensure his safety and prosperity for the rest of his life...
