Chapter 760 Surprised and Asking for a Monthly Ticket
Chapter 760 Surprise (please vote)
Jingcheng Guanyi, the courtyard where Lin Ruhai’s family temporarily lives.
Jia Min followed her husband back to Guanyi and was in a bad mood.
Naturally, she was a little disappointed because of today's trip to her parents' home.
From the initial welcome to the meals at noon and evening, she was not very satisfied.
She has followed her husband Lin Ruhai in Jiangnan for many years, and her taste has long been Jiangnan-oriented.
Because my body and bones are weak, and my children are not in good health, I attach great importance to health and spleen health, and the taste is very light.
As a result, no matter whether it was lunch or evening meals, they were basically northern cuisine heavy in oil and salt, and the soup was also greasy and flavorful. Their family was not used to it at all.
Normally, both the mother and Wang Xifeng, Lian's second daughter-in-law, who was in charge of the reception, would pay attention.
Unfortunately, there was no such sign from beginning to end.
Not only that, she was also dissatisfied with her mother's approach to staying overnight.
Mother and daughter were originally very affectionate, but after hearing her husband's face-to-face meeting, she didn't receive much praise, but instead felt a little unwelcome, so she stopped persisting.
It's like the previous warm invitation to stay was an ordinary human courtesy.
It's not that she has to stay at her parents' house, it's just that her mother's behavior makes her feel uncomfortable no matter what.
After returning to Guanyi, the first thing Jia Min did was to order the accompanying chef to use the small kitchen in the yard to cook some simple Jiangnan dishes.
Not only her, but also her husband Lin Ruhai and their children are probably hungry.
Soon, the small kitchen delivered steaming meals that suited the family's taste.
Lin Ruhai was not polite. Lin Daiyu and Lin Yu were both children, so naturally they couldn't hide their thoughts. When they saw the delicious food, they immediately came to the table.
Jia Min's mood was a little complicated, but she quickly noticed something unusual: "Why does the food smell strange?"
The smell is not very strong, but it always feels a little different from the previous meals.
"Madam, don't worry, this is food cooked in a coal stove!"
Without waiting for what the maids waiting around would do, Lin Ruhai waved her hands and said with a smile.
"Oh, it turns out it smells like carbon, no wonder!"
Jia Min reacted quickly and continued to enjoy the delicious meal.
The whole family had a long journey, so they just ate some food in a hurry and put down their chopsticks when their stomachs felt full.
While drinking tea and digesting food, Lin Ruhai briefly introduced the briquette stove.
Jia Min suddenly said: "No wonder the food was served so fast. At first, I thought Guanyi had prepared it!"
"How can it be?"
Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly and said: "The official post in the capital receives the feudal officials who come to the capital almost every year. How can they give us special care?"
While talking, Lin Daiyu and Lin Yu, siblings, looked sleepy on their faces and yawned non-stop.
The couple hurriedly settled their children, and after they went to bed, they sat down again in the main hall to eat and communicated quietly.
"Ms. sir, there is a place where my mother's family doesn't provide good hospitality, so I hope Haihan will do it!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Jia Min mentioned the previous experience at her parents' house with some anxiety.
"Madam, you are worrying too much!"
Lin Ruhai was stunned at first, then realized what he was doing, shook his head, and said with a smile: "My mother-in-law is quite enthusiastic!"
"As for the subtle changes after that, it's just human nature, and it's not directly stated. What's there to be dissatisfied about as a husband?"
"Madam, you don't feel very good, do you?"
"I'm in a bad mood, that's all!"
Jia Min shook his head and said: "After all, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. We have always exchanged letters, so it is inevitable that we are a little unfamiliar!"
This is true, time and space can erase all feelings.
No matter how affectionate Jia's mother was, Jia Min always felt a little unfamiliar. This was because the time was too short.
With a touch of separation in my heart, I can naturally look at my maternal relatives calmly and rationally.
It's not that I feel any chill, but it's normal to feel a little uncomfortable.
"That's good!"
Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled: "If you are free tomorrow, madam, you might as well accompany me to Ning Mansion!"
"Going to Ning Mansion?"
Jia Min was a little surprised and asked in confusion: "Is it because of those ethnic studies students?"
"If that's the case, Brother Rong should have taken the initiative to visit us!"
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"No, it's not just a matter for ethnic studies students!"
Lin Ruhai hurriedly explained: "When my husband goes to Jin Province to take office, he needs a lot of help, otherwise it will be difficult to open up the situation!"
Having said this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Those of my same year and classmates cannot be trusted easily!"
Hearing this, Jia Min was silent and felt a little depressed.
As a pillow person, she naturally knew what Lin Ruhai was going through.
During his tenure in Yangzhou, he encountered a lot of things and troubles, but very few of his classmates and classmates were willing to help.
Otherwise, with Lin Ruhai having so many classmates and classmates, it would not be easy to wait until the Jia Clan School's manpower passed by.
The same is true for her husband Lin Ruhai. Not to mention how much resentment she feels towards her classmates and classmates, at least she dare not trust them.
In the officialdom, it is not uncommon for someone to be stabbed by one of his own people.
Jia Min also had to admit that the students from the Jia clan were indeed useful.
There is no arrogance in him, and his ability to learn and handle practical matters is not weak, especially in terms of force.
If Lin Ruhai is appointed as the chief envoy of Jin Province, he will indeed need a large number of trustworthy and capable manpower around him.
only……
Although Jia Rong of Ning Mansion is the head of the Jia clan, she is still too young, so she always feels a little unhappy.
How could Lin Ruhai not see his wife's mentality?
He smiled bitterly and said: "Madam, things are not as simple as you think!"
"As far as I know, Brother Rong is a very important core member of the Xungui Group!"
"The coal mining in Jin Province and the exchanges with noble forces cannot bypass Brother Rong!"
"To put it bluntly, if you want to make a difference in Shanxi Province, you must get Brother Rong's full support. Otherwise, just coordinating the relationship will be enough to make me overwhelmed!"
"No way?"
Jia Min couldn't help but exclaimed, shaking her head and saying, "Why don't I know this?"
"When it comes to the relationship with the Xungui family, my natal family should be more suitable, right?"
This was a subconscious reaction. After all, in her mind, the Rong Mansion was still the most prosperous and top-level noble house in her memory.
But as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she knew she was wrong.
If he were truly a top noble, he would not deliberately alienate himself from his husband because of today's unclear attitude.
"Haha, Madam will know after we meet tomorrow. It's not appropriate to say anything right now!"
