Buddha-like Mrs. Lin
Chapter 51
If the ratio is not enough, it will be anti-theft.

It just so happened that Duke Rongguo, Jia Daishan, also wanted to look for him.
During the morning court session today, because the Emperor suddenly remembered his daughter's wedding, he unsurprisingly asked him who his daughter's husband was.
Considering that he had promised Lin Ruhai before,
Jia Daishan naturally thought of a way to attract His Holiness's attention to Lin Ruhai.
His Holiness was curious,
So he casually found an excuse to meet Lin Ruhai.
In the end?
Lin Ruhai didn't come at all,
Instead, his superior came,
And even claimed credit for himself in front of His Holiness,
Saying that he sympathized with his subordinates,
Seeing that Lin Ruhai was sick, he let him go home in advance.
Even if His Holiness wanted to ask about something, Lord Hu knew,
But Jia Daishan, who knew His Holiness very well, could see that he was angry.
"Speak,
There was such a good opportunity today,
Why didn't you catch it? "Jia Daishan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
He was a general,
Did he know how difficult it was to recommend a civil official to the Emperor?
But the future son-in-law that he had high hopes for did not seize this rare opportunity!
Lin Ruhai thought of an excuse and hurriedly told Jia Daishan the facts and speculations that he knew without reservation.
Jia Daishan immediately frowned, "Are you saying that old man Hu Yao schemed against you?"
Lin Ruhai nodded, "Yes!"
If it wasn't for scheming against him, there was no need for the Chancellor to call him back to the Hanlin Academy when he had already returned home.
Not only was it a thankless task, but it also increased the risk of being discovered.
Stealing an opportunity that belonged to a subordinate, or taking the credit of a subordinate, was something that happened in the officialdom,
It was actually quite common.
After Lin Ruhai became a provincial scholar, the teacher that Mother Lin invited taught him the way of being an official,
Naturally, he also mentioned the various unspoken rules of the officialdom,
Lin Ruhai was well aware of this.
However, the actions of the Grand Secretary were clearly not for the sake of the bureaucracy.
Jia Daishan carefully recalled all the interactions he had with Hu Yao in the past.
He gradually realized something. "You've been implicated."
Lin Ruhai was confused. "Implicated?"
He paused for a moment and quickly realized that he was a fallen noble who had just risen up. He had no power or influence, so who could implicate him?
"Lord Hu has a grudge against the Duke?" Lin Ruhai's mind worked quickly. "Why haven't I heard of this before?"
If two families wanted to form a marriage alliance, they would naturally need to find out who the other party was on good terms with and who they had enemies with. They would also need to consider whether the benefits of the marriage alliance would outweigh the disadvantages.
However, Mother Lin had never heard that Rongguo Province had a feud with the Grand Chancellor.
Jia Daishan looked exhausted. "This Hu Yao might have already secretly pledged allegiance to one of the princes."
His Holiness was healthy and healthy. At a glance, one could tell that he could still live for a few more decades.
However, the Crown Prince that His Holiness had personally appointed was already over thirty years old. He was at his most high-spirited and vigorous age.
Before Min 'er's accident, he was immersed in the great situation of His Holiness and the Crown Prince's filial piety and didn't notice anything wrong. He even wholeheartedly believed that in the future, His Holiness would ascend to nirvana and that the successor would definitely be the Crown Prince. There would be no one else.
However, Min 'er's words fiercely woke him up from his daydream. Although His Holiness and the Crown Prince were still filial, at the same time, they also had the greatest hidden danger between the successor and the successor.
The father was strong and the son was strong.
His Holiness was still in his prime, while the Crown Prince had already grown up. In the future, they would inevitably fight.
In Ke Min 'er's memory, the final victor wasn't the Crown Prince.
Because the successor of Rongguo Province, Jia Xie, was the Crown Prince's study companion, the Jia family was naturally tied to the Crown Prince. If something happened to the Crown Prince, even if His Holiness didn't completely kill him out of consideration for their friendship, the Jia family's final outcome wouldn't be good.
The Crown Prince was appointed the Crown Prince from birth. He was different from the other princes since he was young. Now, he was directly on the opposite side of all the other princes.
In order to pull the Crown Prince down, the other princes could be said to have exhausted all means. They even put aside their prejudices and secretly cooperated with each other.
However, before the Crown Prince fell, they could only follow the same path to the end.
However, when the Crown Prince fell, it would be the time for the Jia family to be dealt with. The Jia family simply wouldn't have the opportunity to change their allegiance.
Just thinking about it made Jia Daishan's heart tired.
The reason why Lin Ruhai was targeted was most likely because someone had seen how much importance he placed on Lin Ruhai, as well as his determination to nurture him.
Now that there was no war, generals weren't popular, and their positions in the court were gradually weakened.
Rongguo Province still had a lot of military power in his hands. It wasn't obvious now, but if he kept the military power, it would attract the Emperor's fear sooner or later. Even if it was for the sake of his descendants, he couldn't keep the military power in his hands.
Fortunately, when Jia Daihua's eldest brother was still alive, he had already set a development plan for the Jia family to abandon Wu Congwen. Jing 'er had even passed the Jinshi exam in her twenties, giving the Jia family a good start.
However, how could it be enough to have only one person in the family?
That was why he targeted Lin Ruhai, who was also of noble birth but had passed the Jinshi exam.
The Jia family had a lot of resources. If he could take advantage of this opportunity to promote Jia Jing and Lin Ruhai to high positions, he wouldn't have to worry about the transformation of the Jia family in the future.
Of course, this was on the premise that Lin Ruhai and Jia Jing could be successfully promoted.
If he wanted to destroy the Jia family, it would be easiest and most effective to start with Lin Ruhai and Jia Jing, the two future pillars of the Jia family.
However, Jia Jing had already gained a firm foothold in the court, and he himself had also gained a lot of experience in the officialdom. If he wanted to make a move on him, he had to be prepared to lose his life.
Only Lin Ruhai had just entered the court, and he was also young. It was easy for him to fall into the trap set by those old foxes in the officialdom.
For example, today, he was targeted and schemed against by his immediate superior.
If it wasn't for Lin Ruhai's calmness, Hu Yao would also have looked down on him because of Lin Ruhai's age. At that time, it was hard to say what the result would be.
After Jia Daishan thought through all these twists and turns, his expression became fierce. If he didn't teach Hu Yao a lesson, then the others would treat Lin Ruhai as a soft persimmon!
At that time, it wouldn't be just Hu Yao's people who wanted to deal with Lin Ruhai.
As long as he still wanted to protect Lin Ruhai, he could only follow Lin Ruhai and run for his life.
A person's energy was limited. If he focused most of his energy on Lin Ruhai, how could he take care of the Crown Prince?
If something happened to the Crown Prince, what would happen to the Jia family?
Jia Daishan fiercely slammed the table. "Zhou Shan, give the information you collected about Hu Yao to Jing'er. Tell him to report Hu Yao to the court tomorrow!"
As for the person behind Hu Yao?
Just wait. If he was a fox, then he would definitely reveal his tail!
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Lin Ruhai said a few more words to Jia Daishan, then simply took his leave.
Cui Yan and Chi Xia: "… …" Here we go again.
Every time they wanted their young miss to curry favor with their master, she would say 'stomach ache'. After so many times, she didn't even change her excuse.
Their young miss clearly wasn't as afraid of their master as her sisters, but she just didn't make any progress.
But if their master didn't make any progress, as maids, it was useless no matter how anxious they were.
Cui Yan was so anxious that she was about to cry. "Young miss, your husband is about to be snatched away. Why aren't you anxious!"
Chi Xia couldn't help but persuade Jia Su this time, "Young miss, if we had asked you to curry favor with your master and find a better husband, it would have been fine if you didn't want to. After all, the other two young misses married into similar families. Even if you went, there wouldn't be any change. Perhaps your master would even think that you were dissatisfied with his wife, and thus dislike you.
But now your marriage is ruined because of Fourth Young Miss. No matter what, your master has to give you an explanation! "
Jia Su glanced at Cui Yan and Chi Xia, then collapsed on the bed. "Then I'll wait for my master to give me an explanation. Good girl, let's not bother my master, lest I annoy him and offend his wife.
What if my wife does something to my dowry? How can I reason with her? "
No matter how hard she fought for her marriage, it was just that.
There was a fixed dowry, and in order to shut her up, Madam Jia wouldn't be stingy with that little money.
After all, she was going to marry out of the family. If she said something unspeakable in her husband's family, Madam Jia wouldn't be able to control her.
No matter how Chi Xia and Cui Yan persuaded, Jia Su refused to go.
Just when Chi Xia and Cui Yan were about to give up on their young miss's marriage, they didn't expect things to take a turn. Madam Jia personally sent someone to inform them that the next month's wedding would be held as usual, but the bride would be changed.
Yes, it wasn't the groom, but the bride that no one expected.
Jia Su couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of tea in front of Yuan Yang.
Chi Xia faintly glanced at Jia Su. While cleaning up the mess for her, she scolded Cui Yan, "Cui Yan, what did you do? You brought the tea to the young miss before it was warm. If there's a next time, I'll send you home directly!"
She turned to Yuan Yang and explained, "I'm sorry for making Sister Yuan Yang laugh. Cui Yan has always been careless. I told her many times, but she didn't listen. I didn't expect that this time she scalded the young miss. I'll teach her a lesson later."
Cui Yan simply admitted her mistake, "Miss, I'm wrong. I won't dare to do it again."
Yuan Yang was well aware of the truth, but she calmly looked at Chi Xia lying with her eyes wide open. She didn't intend to expose her.
As a maid, she should be prepared to take the blame for her master at any time.
Jia Su was not used to their way of doing things. She felt guilty and hurriedly changed the topic, "Sister Yuan Yang, are you kidding me?
Both sisters are married, and there's no concubine's daughter next door. Changing the bride?
Who are you going to change it to? "
At the mention of this, Yuan Yang's expression was complicated, "Madam said that Fourth Miss and Prince Zhou are in love with each other."
"… …"
The room was silent for a long time.
Jia Su said, "… … Then, congratulations, Little Sister.
Ha, haha, hahaha … … "
