After having the reception banquet that day, Lin Zhao took his brothers back to the Lin Mansion. After settling everyone down, he went to the backyard to meet Daiyu.
So I learned about the "great event" in Rongguo Mansion.
"Cousin Yuanchun was promoted to a virtuous concubine?" Lin Zhao shook his head in front of Daiyu and sneered. "We in China attach great importance to etiquette, and the royal family attaches even more importance to these openly. In addition to noble concubines, the titles of the concubines include virtuous concubine and shu concubine.
, Zhuang concubine, etc., are also called virtuous, Shu, Zhuang concubine, either a virtuous concubine or a virtuous concubine. What level is this virtuous concubine? It's just to make people laugh."
Lin Zhao paused and then said: "It's just that in the Rongguo Mansion, I'm afraid no one understands the truth behind this. Well, maybe the cousin named Tanchun understands in her heart, but she won't say it out loud."
"Sister Tanchun." Daiyu glanced at Lin Zhao, a thought flashed through her mind, but she quickly suppressed it.
He only said: "Although my grandmother seemed to love me, she pampered Baoyu to such an extent that the whole Jia family lost all rules. Our family should keep away from such relatives, even to the master of Shandong.
When my wife writes a letter, she should also explain this situation."
"It is said that the old lady has prestige, but the man who succeeded him was kicked out to the garden and drank with his wife all day long. The second wife was the head of the house, but he forced the eldest son to study too hard and suffered a loss, and then died young. The younger son was also lawless.
I have not moved anywhere in the Ministry of Industry for more than ten years, which shows that our two uncles are nothing more than this, and I don’t know how my grandfather taught them." Lin Zhao sneered.
Then he looked at his sister: "When I open up the situation and take time to take you to visit your close friends in the capital, there must be many women in each family, and there will always be someone as smart as you. Then you can make many friends, girls.
It would be great to have fun together, set up a poetry club, organize an outing, etc."
"That's great!" Daiyu was very excited and nodded heavily, but said in her heart: "It seems that I will have to invite Sister Tanchun to go with me."
Daiyu is a very smart person, and she can reveal everything at a glance. She knows that this unruly Jia family will fall sooner or later, so it is best to take advantage of the gradual estrangement and keep a distance secretly.
So in the future, the Jia family sent their mother-in-law to invite her. Even if Lin Zhao was not at home, Daiyu would come back several times. Initially, Jia's mother only said that Daiyu was still angry with Baoyu, but after many times, she didn't realize it.
Wonderful, this Yu'er must have separated from her, and she didn't care about anything, so she asked Jia Zheng to post a message in person, inviting Lin Zhao to come over for a drink.
Jia Zheng said: "Now that my nephew has received the emperor's favor, he is busy in the Yamen every day, running outside the city, and patrolling the streets. I'm afraid he won't have time to come here."
Jia's mother regarded herself as the grandmother of the imperial concubine and had a very high status. Seeing that the Lin family had not come to congratulate her for a long time, she felt resentful in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. However, she did not dare to compare her family with the royal mission, but she also knew that there was something wrong with the family.
There is a lot of money but a small income. Now we have to build a grand view garden and need the support of the Lin family. After all, we don't want to be separated from the Lin family.
What's more, even if there is no Grand View Garden, the son-in-law will definitely worship the prime minister and join the cabinet in the future. This nephew seems to be highly valued by the emperor and will be of great use in the future. Therefore, this niece Daiyu will be as noble as no one in the whole capital. If she can
If it matches his own precious jade, the Rongguo Mansion will be worry-free for decades.
So no matter how cold you are, you can't cut off this relative.
Jia Mu had this idea, but Mrs. Wang didn't take it seriously.
In her eyes, she is the mother of a noble concubine, and Baoyu is the majestic uncle of the state. There are probably not many people in the world who can compare with her, and there are not many ladies from famous families who are qualified to marry Baoyu. At least that vixen from the Lin family is no matter what.
It's not worthy of her phoenix egg either.
Humph! Now that my Jia family is building the Grand View Garden, I asked your family to borrow a few taels of silver but you refused. In the future, my mother-in-law will give birth to a dragon fetus and Baoyu will have a great fortune. Then even if you kneel down and beg us, my family will not look at it.
Take a look at you.
By the way, I received a letter from my sister a few days ago. My nephew killed someone in Jinling and finally got away. He plans to come to the capital to live with the whole family, which is just in time to move to Jia's house. His family is an imperial merchant and is worth millions.
, it must be okay to lend him tens of thousands to build a grand view garden.
At the end of the day, I heard from my sister that his precious girl is as good as in heaven or on earth, and I don’t know if she can fall in Baoyu’s eyes. If possible, I might as well kiss her.
However, Sister Feng was the shrewdest. She and Jia Lian said in the room: "Except for eldest brother Xianzhu, there is no scholar in our family. I am an ignorant woman. I don't know how powerful Jin Yiwei is, but I know that the Lin family's cousin
My brother has a bright future, plus my uncle’s future, even if they give us a cold shoulder, we still have to have a good relationship, who can say for sure what will happen in the future."
Jia Lian thought about Lin Zhao's neat behavior when he was in Yangzhou, and was amazed: "That's what happened. Don't forget, the Lin family boy is also a serious prince. When I was in Yangzhou, I heard that he killed people like this.
Ma, this is a tough one. I'm afraid that in the future, my achievements will be as good as those of Uncle Wang. The old lady has been smart all her life, but now she is a little impulsive, and she is even more arrogant. We just don't know, there is a queen in the palace anyway!"
Sister Feng nodded in agreement, but she knew it in her heart. Although she also laughed at Jia Lian when the couple were alone, she also knew that Yuanchun only had Baoyu as his biological brother, so the benefits had nothing to do with their eldest brother. What's more,
, the empress is here, even Baoyu is not considered an uncle of the country. The noble concubine said it nicely, but after all she is also the emperor's concubine.
…
Whether the Jia family wanted to build the Grand View Garden or the Xue family went to Beijing, Lin Zhaocai didn't bother to care.
Daiyu is in charge of everything at home. Fortunately, Auntie Rong and Auntie Li are there to help. Lin Yang and others are also loyal and reliable. In addition, with the formation set up by the Lin Mansion, they are not afraid of anyone causing trouble.
So Lin Zhao put all his focus on Jin Yiwei.
To the north of Chang'an City, less than three miles away from the city wall, there is a vast Zhuangzi. It was originally the Imperial Zhuang, but during this period it was handed over to the Jinyiwei, or to be precise, it was handed over to Lin Zhao, the commander of the Jinyiwei.
Now that it was October, Lin Zhao arranged for people to use horses and rollers to roll over the land of Zhuangzi. The land that could be leveled was leveled and turned into a training ground.
On the morning of October 20th, as the city gates were just opening, Lin Zhao led his guards out of the city and arrived at Zhuangzi. A wooden platform was erected on the west side of the Zhuangzi pasture, dry food and soup were prepared, and Lin Zhao was treated to breakfast first.
When the sun got a little higher, people from the Imperial Guard began to arrive.
Lin Zhao stood on the edge of the wooden platform, with three Jinyiwei Qianhu standing next to him. One was a royal servant who had been with Lin Zhao for a long time, and his apparent identity was Jinyiwei Qianhu Li Long.
The other one was a Qianhu family named Shen Cheng who came to him after seeing his majesty that day.
There is also a guy named Qian Zhenglun, who is also a quick-sighted guy.
Lin Zhao's personal guards were all in the open space in front of the wooden platform. They drew grids with white ash on the open space. When someone came, Lin Zhao's personal guards asked where they came from and arranged to stand somewhere and wait, that is, according to the rules.
Positions are allocated according to the establishment of one hundred households where the person is located.
The reason why Lin Zhao chose this Zhuangzi was because it occupies a vast area and can accommodate two thousand people without any problem. However, the open space in front of the wooden platform is now sparsely populated.
"I took a look and found that there are about 600 people. The hundred households directly under the two of you must be here, and then the people close to you are also here. Can't the rest of them be out of control?"
Lin Zhao looked at the open space and asked Shen Cheng and Qian Zhenglun with a smile.
Lin Zhao is a new member of the Jinyi Guard, and Shen Cheng immediately knew everything and said: "My lord, please forgive me, but this is what we do in the pro-army. If the younger one takes too much control, even if he offends others, I'm afraid there will be punishment from the superiors!"
Lin Zhao grinned, indicating that he understood immediately.
It's nothing more than a matter of checks and balances.
The capital is at the foot of the world, and one thousand households cannot effectively control the hundreds below.
This is related to the safety of the capital.
After all, with more than a thousand people in hand, it is really a sensitive force.
Lin Zhao nodded and said: "The two thousand households have more than a thousand men in total, but there are only four to five hundred new soldiers. Why are there so many other veterans?"
Qian Zhenglun continued: "Sir, in peacetime, there are no major events, and new recruits can't get promotions when they join the industry. Generally, they can't do errands until they are forty years old. Such people are safe in their work and are not afraid of getting into trouble at the emperor's feet.
So Jinyiwei mainly uses them."
Lin Zhao sighed and understood that this group of Jin Yiwei had a deep background and had almost degraded to the level of the civil service system. They did not teach anything and only relied on their own thinking and understanding, and it was better to do less than to do more.
If you do more, you will make more mistakes; if you do less, you will make fewer mistakes; if you do less, you will make more mistakes.
