Chapter 828: The Rongguo Mansion Continues To Be In Disorder
After returning from a long journey, even if Lin Zhao had enough energy to talk to Emperor Xiao De for three days and three nights, he would just repeat the same old tune at this moment.
Anyway, Emperor Xiaode had always planned for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Household Affairs to work together on the opening of Songjiang, and did not intend for the Jinyiwei to intervene. After all, if Lin Zhao intervened, the Jinyiwei would expand even more. This is something the emperor and his ministers did not want to see.
of.
And Lin Zhao was even more unwilling to brush aside the matter.
So he confidently said: "Your Majesty, I have been engaged to the eldest daughter of the Xue family in Jinling. All the procedures have been completed. I am waiting for the Chinese New Year and the Dragon Boat Festival to welcome her. Besides, my sister will be married this year."
Jiji, how can I, the elder brother, not protect you by your side? There are so many talented people in the world, no matter how complicated the matter of opening Songjiang port is, can it surpass the wisdom of the people in the world? Therefore, Your Majesty still appoints talented people, and I hide my clumsiness for now.
"
As soon as these words came out, the entire Wenyuan Pavilion fell silent.
Even Zhang Tingyu and Tian Wendian, two old foxes, couldn't help but be stunned.
This little fox is too proud of his favor.
Moreover, the fact that he dared to act selfishly in this Wenyuan Pavilion was clearly relying on the emperor's favor.
But the important minister could not refute.
Because if he opposed it, wouldn't he expect Lin Zhao to deal with the opening of Songjiang port?
This is absolutely not allowed.
The emperor also took a deep breath and sighed: "My dear, you have worked hard and achieved great results, but I have delayed your life-long event! Could it be that I did something wrong?"
"Your Majesty, this is just a trivial matter, and there is no need to punish yourself." Lin Zhao raised his nose and raised his face.
"Haha, I think you should get out of Wenyuan Pavilion and go home to rest. Only after you have rested and done your errands will I feel comfortable." Emperor Xiaode said through gritted teeth.
"Your Majesty, I will execute it immediately!"
Lin Zhao actually climbed along the pole, actually cupped his hands, turned around and left.
…
"Your Majesty, I am impeaching Lin Zhao for being rude, arrogant and arrogant. Your Majesty, please deal with me severely!"
‘I second the proposal!’
"I second the proposal!"
Several imperial envoys immediately jumped out of the situation and shouted loudly.
But other important officials in the DPRK remained silent.
"You want me to deal with Ban Dingyuan and Huo whoring Yao? Do you want me to be a coward?" Emperor Xiaode smiled coldly. The envoys trembled at the incident and did not dare to say anything more.
…
When Lin Zhao returned home, Daiyu was overjoyed, and there was naturally a lot of excitement in Lin's house.
But Lin Zhao heard the news that Jia Jing died two months ago.
The grandson of Ning Guo Gong Jia Yan, the second son of Jia Daihua, the hereditary first-class divine power general of Jingying Jiedushi, and the father of Jia Zhen. He was a Jinshi in Yimao Branch, but he was always fond of Taoism. He practiced in Xuanzheng Temple outside the capital and burned elixirs.
Refining mercury, ignoring other things, and letting his family do whatever they want.
In terms of seniority, Lin Zhao and Daiyu also have to call him uncle.
However, this uncle devoted himself to cultivating Taoism and only hoped that he could become an immortal.
But in Lin Zhao's view, for Jia Jing, becoming an immortal is like a flower in the mirror or the moon in the water, which is beyond the reach of his expectation.
Firstly, talent is not enough, secondly, there is no merit, and thirdly, personal morality is not enough.
The most important thing is that everything I eat is tribute balls.
In other words, you eat mercury.
Such a brain-dead person, delaying his death until now, is really the result of Ning Guogong's great merit.
Some time ago, after the incident of inspecting the Grand View Garden, Xichun felt calm and lived in the Lin Mansion as a female official. No one in the Jia Mansion paid attention to it and did not go back until Xiaonian. But she caused trouble again when she came back.
An accident.
Because Li Wan lives frugally, he explores spring and cherishes spring. Xiangyun now eats in Jia Mu's room. And because of the recent New Year, the food on the table is inevitably richer, so Xichun refuses to use it as soon as he sees it.
He said he wasn't feeling well and went back to rest.
Sister Feng was so smart and cunning, so in front of many people, she pulled Li Wan and said, "Fourth sister is keeping her filial piety now."
Sister Feng added a vicious accent to the word "keep one's filial piety": "Afraid of disturbing the happiness in the house and not being able to come to our ancestors' place to eat, my eldest sister-in-law at least sent someone to deliver some porridge and side dishes on time. Otherwise, the four of us would
My sister is afraid that she will feel unwell by the first lunar month."
Li Wan's face was red, he was ashamed, angry and annoyed. He was ashamed that he forgot to honor Xichun and made her hungry; he was angry that he didn't remember, and Suyun and Yindie followed him without even reminding them.
I forgot; I was annoyed that Sister Feng was so disrespectful and embarrassed herself in front of a group of masters and maids.
Of course, no matter how angry Li Wan was, he quickly ordered someone to deliver food to Xichun. However, the news spread throughout the Rongning and Ning mansions. Jia Mu was so angry that she took two boxes of gems from her pocket.
To Xichun; Mrs. Wang also gave a set of Nanzhu headdress and two pieces of plain silk and satin. At the same time, she felt more and more that Li Wan was unable to bear the heavy responsibility.
Therefore, for a while, Mrs. Wang wished that Baoyu would marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible so that she could help her mother-in-law handle the housework.
But until now, Mrs. Wang counted on her fingers, and she couldn't find a girl worthy of Baoyu to marry!
In fact, Mrs. Wang had seen many girls, many of whom appeared in front of her frequently, and many of them were of the right age, but Mrs. Wang instinctively refused.
It was Daiyu at first. Mrs. Wang rejected it without even thinking.
Then came Baochai, but Mrs. Wang didn't know that she was fierce in appearance and could not save Xue Pan, so she was looked down upon by Aunt Xue and let Baochai go easily.
After Mrs. Wang discovered that Baochai was equally beautiful and intelligent, Baochai was already engaged to Lin Zhao.
As for Xiangyun, Baoqin, Li Qi, Li Wen, and the nieces of the Wang family, although they are all good-looking, Mrs. Wang always feels that their background or status cannot compare with Baoyu.
Not to mention Xing Xiyan.
But now that the eldest daughter-in-law is so useless and at odds with Sister Feng, she can't always point to Tanchun to take care of the housework. She has really experienced her. If someone comes to ask for her hand in marriage, Baoyu hasn't said anything yet.
Good people, isn't that a joke in Rongguofu?
So Mrs. Wang began to worry, asking people everywhere to marry Baoyu, hoping to find a girl with both good looks and good looks, and then marry Baoyu. When the time comes, Mrs. Wang will definitely ask the empress in the palace to issue an edict and arrange it in a grand way.
Ichiban.
After Jia Zhen heard that Xichun was starving, she first scolded Youshi, asking why she didn't go to see Xichun more often and made her suffer such injustice. Then she asked Youshi to send a lot of rice charcoal and dried fruit snacks to Li Wan, pointing out that
He said it was for Xichun, and sealed two hundred taels of silver and some gold, silver and bare copper coins for rewards to Xichun, telling her not to be stingy with money and to buy it if she needed anything. At the same time, he ordered Jia Rong to give many gifts to Xichun.
Sister Feng, please take more care of Xichun.
In fact, Jia Zhen didn't take this sister seriously. In fact, her sister became the female official of Princess Langhuan. As Lin Zhao became more powerful, Princess Langhuan became engaged to Prince Heng, which made Jia Zhen more attractive in front of her friends.
I have lost face, and at the same time I don’t dare to look down on my sister anymore.
So when Xichun was wronged, he had to show off no matter what.
Li Wan was so embarrassed by being criticized by everyone, and could not put down the housekeeping duties, so he scolded Suyun and Yindie severely. Because he had useless people around him, he wrote them down first. But he became more and more unkind.
After meeting Sister Feng, Xichun also felt resentful about this matter: Since he was hungry, why didn't he just say anything quietly, so he had to keep his own excuse for everyone to blame?
Sister Feng doesn't care about Li Wan's opinion. After all, the two families are almost at odds now. Why are they still worrying about so many other people's moods? Mrs. Wang's unbalanced mentality is the key.
She, Sister Feng, wants to avenge her almost losing her son. How can anyone else think of it?
Xichun was helpless and just breathed a sigh of relief: finally having a hot meal to eat.
When Lin Zhao heard what Daiyu said, he just shook his head speechlessly and said nothing. He just felt that the women in Rongguo Mansion were really idle.
He wasn't as gossipy as his sister, so he said: "After the New Year, it's February, and it's time for you to have a haircut. This time, I'm going to have a great time."
"Brother, I want to see Sister-in-law Tanchun. I'm not afraid that Sister-in-law Baochai will be jealous!" Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, turning her beautiful eyes, showing off her charm.
