In other words, for now, it is Lin Ruhai who cannot live without Lin Zhao, not Lin Zhao who cannot live without Lin Ruhai.
The economic base determines the superstructure.
Lin Zhao has the ability to make money and keep money, so his status in the family is naturally unbreakable.
Lin Ruhai also knew that even if Lin Zhao was not in the Lin family, Lin Zhao could still make a name for himself when he went out to work.
And if Lin Ruhai lost this son, he would probably be eaten alive by the Yangzhou salt merchants who reacted.
Based on this, it is really inappropriate for me to punish the emperor for his attitude!
But then again, having a son who is too capable is not something to worry about!
Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but let out a long sigh:
"Why!"
…
"Why!"
In the Wenhua Hall of the Chang'an City Palace, Emperor Xiaode looked at the account book in his hand and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
This is already two months later.
Gold and silver worth tens of millions were divided into several routes. Under the overall planning of a shrewd general, they were finally delivered to the capital and entered the emperor's private treasury.
"Why is Your Majesty sighing?"
The knowledgeable Prince Zhongshun asked from the side.
In the entire Wenhua Palace, there were only two brothers.
"I didn't expect that Lin Ruhai, who had only been in office for a few months, would actually give me such money worth tens of millions of dollars! But he only rewarded his father and son with such a low title. I feel that I am really too stingy.
That's it." Emperor Xiaode sighed.
"Why did your Majesty say this? Thunder, rain and dew are all due to your kindness. Lin Ruhai is a Tanhua man, so he naturally understands the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers. I'm afraid it's too late to be grateful." Prince Zhongshun said with a smile.
That's all he could say about this kind of thing.
"Forget it! The Lin family and his son are so outstanding and so loyal to me. I think they will make great achievements again soon. When the time comes, I will give you a good reward." Emperor Xiaode quickly made up his mind.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Prince Zhongshun praised repeatedly.
…
At the same time, there was a lot of excitement in Mother Jia's room in Rongguo Mansion.
In addition to Jia's mother, there were two daughters-in-law, three grandsons-in-law, three granddaughters, a group of maids and mothers-in-law in the room, and of course, there was also the eight-year-old grandson Jia Baoyu who was the king of the world.
Everyone looked happy.
Jia Mu said excitedly: "I said that Min'er has great fortune, no less than his two brothers. Now it seems that it is true. Then my grandson Zhaoer must also have great blessings. He has made great achievements at a young age and won the title of
If you get the title, you will definitely have great fortunes in the future."
There was naturally a lot of adulation underneath.
"That's what our ancestors said."
"It's better to follow the religion of our ancestors."
"It is said that they have nearly ten million taels of silver. These salt merchants are really rich! They are comparable to the royal family!"
"If you ask me, my uncle is the most powerful. He has obtained so much money from those salt merchants just a few months after taking office. It's really amazing!"
"My great aunt is also an old lady who knows people well. Otherwise, how could my aunt marry such a happy man in the first place!"
Hearing everyone talking, Jia Mu was so happy that she couldn't close her eyes. But when she glanced at her second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, and her grandson-in-law, Wang Xifeng, she saw that their laughter was a little stiff.
Jia Mu was suddenly startled and thought of a big problem.
Rongguo Mansion has been experiencing continuous losses in recent years and is somewhat unable to make ends meet.
The son-in-law has earned so much money for the emperor, shouldn't he be more filial to his wife's family?
I'm afraid this is what my daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law are thinking.
Thinking of this, Jia Mu still laughed calmly with everyone. After a while, she stopped talking and asked everyone to leave.
But Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, and the personal maid Yuanyang were left behind.
"Second daughter-in-law." Jia Mu said calmly.
"Yes, my wife is here." Mrs. Wang quickly stood up, standing like a wooden figure.
Wang Xifeng also quickly stood up.
"Min'er's letter said that Zhao'er has made great contributions and was named Yunqiwei by the emperor. This shows that he has a bright future, so he wants to ask his family to introduce him to a marriage. You are Min'er's sister-in-law and Zhao'er's aunt.
Just be careful."
"My daughter-in-law has remembered it," Mrs. Wang said numbly.
But there was a cold smile in his heart.
My son Zhu'er is the direct grandson of Rongguo Gong, the son of a foreign minister of the fifth rank of the Ministry of Industry, and he married the daughter of a fourth-rank Imperial Academy official. And Jia Min's son is just the son of a sixth-rank petty official, and he wants to surpass Zhu'er.
Isn’t it good for my son to marry someone too delicate?
It’s simply wishful thinking!
If there is such a good family, I still want to keep it for Baoyu. How can I get the advantage of the one named Lin?
Seeing Mrs. Wang's mute response, Mother Jia didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
However, Jia Mu was getting old and didn't like to argue about these things. She just reminded: "The harvests in the farms in the house have not been good in the past few years. I heard that my uncle got a lot of gold and silver from the salt merchants. As expected, this sensitive person
It’s a life of happiness.”
But he thought in his heart: "If Xiangyun wasn't still young, would I have let you worry about it?"
As soon as she heard about the money, Mrs. Wang's expression relaxed and she looked at Wang Xifeng aside.
Wang Xifeng is very clear about the overt and covert fights between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
However, given her identity and status, she naturally couldn't get in the conversation and could only make a few witticisms to relieve her boredom.
She made a joke, and when she saw the old lady and his wife looking so relieved, she came up with an idea: "Now that my uncle has been awarded a title by the emperor, and cousin Zhao'er has received such an award at a young age, he must have a bright future. Why not let Lian'er take the old lady with him?"
I wrote a letter and went to see my uncle, I don’t think I might have gained anything.”
This is also a helpless move.
If you want to borrow money, you have to have an important member of the Jia family to go there. Otherwise, you can ask for gold and silver with just a letter. Do you think Rongguo Mansion is a palace? Do you think Mrs. Jia is the emperor?
Not successful?
There is no such truth in the world.
Wang Xifeng continued: "My aunt has to fight with the salt merchants in Yangzhou. My aunt has to take care of my uncle. My cousin Zhao'er is also very busy, so doesn't there be no one to take care of my cousin? Why don't you write a letter to the old lady and bring your cousin over?
take care of."
"What a great idea!" Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly.
Jia Mu snorted coldly in her heart, with a hint of displeasure.
She is old, so of course she likes the joy of having children and grandchildren around her, but she doesn't like the calculations between sisters-in-law.
Especially the children who help their daughter-in-law plot against their own daughters.
but……
Thinking about Jia's public accounts, Jia's mother could only suppress her displeasure and nodded in agreement.
…
Jia Lian was a young man from an aristocratic family. Although he went south under the orders of his family, he took a leisurely trip, visiting mountains and rivers, looking for scents and sights, and he was at ease and at ease, without any panic at all.
By the time he arrived in Yangzhou, it was already three months later.
He came by chance and happened to catch up with the Lin family who were removing the incense table to receive the imperial edict.
"What, my uncle has been promoted to the rank of salt transporter and was made a first-class baron by the emperor. My cousin has also been made a first-class captain of light vehicles?"
When Jia Lian heard the news, he couldn't help being shocked.
At the same time, I had a new understanding of the favor that the Lin family had received. I immediately decided to use all my energy to flatter the Lin family.
