Return to the Red Chamber: Jia Min Xiuxian

Chapter 48
This wins people over, nothing more than dating or giving gifts at parties.

This party depends on everyone's ability.Those who are eloquent and able to speak must have a greater chance of winning.People like this who are always struggling in the officialdom are not human beings. They have to say good things in a subtle and subtle manner without leaving any traces.

But Jia Min and Lin Hai are not the kind of unprincipled people. They won't be won over after hearing a few good words. It mainly depends on their character and official style. Don't forget what Lin Hai was transferred here for. It is the emperor who has one hand and one eye to control Jiangnan.How could it be possible to be fooled by someone at will?If Lin Hai and Jia Min had this ability, they would not be valued by the emperor and the queen mother.

Friendship doesn't work, so you can only give gifts.

The officials in Yangzhou, especially the salt merchants, were very happy to send gifts to the Lin family.Don't worry that someone will sue Lin Hai for taking bribes or something.Corruption in other places will be investigated, and bribery will be ransacked. Corruption in the salt administration is not called corruption. Bribery is normal income. nothing will happen.The emperor would turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. As long as you pay the salt tax on time and in the right amount, and don't be greedy for the salt tax, no one will care about how much bribe you take.Anyway, the salt merchants were rich, and the last thing they cared about was money.

And in this place, you can only do it for a long time if you take bribes. If you don't take bribes, you are a different kind and you will be squeezed out by everyone.What kind of person is Lin Hai, wouldn't he know this?Otherwise, in the previous life, he would not have held this position for more than ten years until he died in office.Jia Min naturally knew this even more, so the Lin family accepted the gifts without any pressure at all.Gifts these days are all rare and expensive ones, not to mention that the salt merchants are so rich, and for comparison, the number of rare collections in the Lin family's warehouse has increased rapidly at a visible rate.

But from here, we can see how rich the Lin family was in the previous life, and all of these were taken over by the Jia family. They even said that Daiyu went to the Jia family with no one to rely on, and was raised by the Jia family. It can be seen that the Jia family How black is the heart of my heart!Especially the Wang family and Jia Mu.There are more or less things from the Lin family in their room, and they don't feel guilty when they look at those things!
Taking Daiyu's dowry and not wanting Daiyu to be his daughter-in-law, how can there be such a thing in the world?What's more, Daiyu was originally their high-profile!Just like Jia Baoyu, the second son of the second house is still a white man, and he can't marry a good official daughter at all, he can only marry an official's family below the fifth rank.After all, marrying a daughter is high, marrying a daughter-in-law is low, Jia Zheng is only a fifth-rank official, and Jia Baoyu is a white body, and he didn't even pass the exam as a scholar.In other words, Daiyu has no parents, and it was a promise since she was a child, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to touch Daiyu's side!In the end, instead of Daiyu, why not just marry a merchant girl!

It's not that I look down on Xue Baochai, it's just that the world is like this, with scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants at the bottom.And Daiyu is the daughter of an official from the imperial court, and her father was passed the imperial examination. The status alone throws Xue Baochai out of the eight streets.It's just like Wang's who has shallow eyesight and only sees money, so he will hire an official girl for Jia Baoyu!

Whenever Jia Min thinks of this, she panics with hatred.In this life, they will not even be able to touch Daiyu's side!Is the Lin family's daughter something they can dislike?Just being a Bigulun princess is enough for them to pay respects!What they owed in the previous life must be recovered!
Qingshuang saw her master receiving gifts and keeping accounts, remembering and remembering, she fell into her own thoughts again, remembering Lin Hai's instructions, and hurriedly called twice: "Madam? Madam!"

Only then did Jia Min come to his senses, secretly annoyed: Why did he remember the past again?With hatred surging in my heart, I have to be more careful in the future.You can't be controlled by the demon again!

Looking at the white jade Guanyin just received in front of me, the coral tree in the South China Sea, and the string of pearls in the Bohai Sea, etc.She had seen these things more or less in Jiamu's and Wang's houses in her previous life.Now I can only let go of my mind for the time being.Counting the days, Daiyu will be here in two more years, so let's wait until then to talk about everything.

Seeing that he almost remembered, he waved his hand to let the servants disperse, and flashed into the space by himself.Go to the hot spring for a while, and calm down.Tomorrow I have to attend a flower viewing banquet, so don't think too much about the past, and wait until Daiyu arrives to worry about it too late.

The next day, Jia Min packed up and went to the banquet.

This time it was lotus flowers. Prefect Yang built a large lotus pond in his home and planted many varieties of lotus flowers.What Jia Min likes most are those water lilies, which are pleasing to the eye.Jamin likes it very much.You don't have to go to anything else, the lotus feast is a must.In fact, there is nothing to do at the banquet, it is nothing more than some family members complaining, or watching a show.

In the previous life, Jia Min married and had no children for a few years. When people said that, she needed to keep her mind tight when chatting, and pay attention to it. Sometimes people wanted to fight back when they were sarcastic.How to say it looks perfect.There is absolutely no need in this life.Jia Min has already given birth to three legitimate sons, and is favored by the queen mother, who is also outstanding in appearance, and is valued by her husband, she is simply the embodiment of perfection.Wherever she goes, those wives are flattering her, and she has no disadvantages to tell others, so there is no need to be so nervous, just go home after enjoying the flowers and watching the show, at most, you can get some news from the conversation , and there is nothing that needs her attention, so Jia Min doesn't care at all.

The days in the Lin Mansion were as peaceful as ever.Those who came and went to give gifts could not break the peace.Jia Min took care of her three sons in these peaceful days, waiting for Daiyu's arrival.

The days of waiting are always so long.

Jia Min has already practiced to the seventh floor, and Lin Hai has also practiced to the sixth floor.The two often go to the space to practice or do other things together, and it feels like a two-person world.

Three sons are thriving.

The two older ones have already recited the Three-Character Classic and half of the Thousand-Character Classic, and they know a thousand characters.The longer Qiongyu grows, the more he can tell that he is Jia Min's son. Those big almond eyes are carved out of Jia Min's mold, and he is the most shrewd. He never suffers when playing with other people's children. That person didn't know, and he still had fun with him.

Jingyu is more like Lin Hai, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, but she is more stable than Qiongyu. After all, she is the boss and will inherit the clan in the future.But seeing his three-year-old child make such a serious look, with a serious face on his white and tender face, thinking about problems and walking around the room with his hands behind his back, he looks very cute and cute The girls who served by Jia Min's side.Most of the girls are a bit motherly, and these people love these two boys to the bottom of their bones, and they are somewhat responsive.

Jia Min doesn't care, there is no harm in this, as long as they don't want to harm the children, it is good to teach the children to have their own husband and wife!What's more, those two children are really painful.And because they are twins, the two children seem to have a tacit understanding.Although they are still young, they will unconsciously protect each other.
