Buddha-like Mrs. Lin

Chapter 82

The Little Angel who did not subscribe enough saw the abnormal chapters. It was worth reading ~

If it wasn't for the person sent by the Chancellor to say that His Excellency was looking for him..,

Even if the Chancellor was his superior..,

He wouldn't have stood the Third Miss up and run away.

No matter what, he had to personally explain the situation and say goodbye, right?

But now that he had been at the Hanlin Academy for so long, the Chancellor actually didn't mention His Excellency.

The Chancellor's gaze wandered for a moment,

He coughed a few times, "His Holiness might have mentioned you when he was talking to Duke Rongguo after the court today. It just so happens that the book you helped edit is about to be edited..,

His Excellency wants to summon you to ask about the current progress. "

Lin Ruhai immediately began to tidy up his clothes and prepare to meet the Emperor.

With his current official rank..,

To be able to have a chance to meet the Emperor alone, he would do well,

If the Emperor remembered, he would definitely have a prosperous career in the future.

However..

"I just didn't expect that you would be sick today. When I sent someone to call you..,

You had already gone home. "

"I had no choice but to personally report the situation to His Holiness.

Fortunately, His Holiness was magnanimous and didn't mind. Instead, he asked me to pass on a message to let you rest well. "

Lin Ruhai: "..."

Didn't he know that a small editor like him who had just become a Jinshi really needed this opportunity to meet the Emperor?

Duke Rongguo had finally created an opportunity for him to show his face in front of the Emperor. In the end, he was turned around and was replaced by his superior.

If he was replaced, then so be it..,

He even pushed the blame of not being able to meet the Emperor onto his head!

When the morning court ended, he had just gone to work. Even though his body was unwell..,

It took him more than an hour before he was given a break by his "Good Boss",

And then left the Hanlin Academy, right?

Now he pulled down his fingers..,

Why did he feel that no matter how he calculated it, it was wrong?

His superior obviously found out that the Emperor might summon him after the court ended. Coincidentally, he was sick, so he took the opportunity to send him away in advance!

His Holiness hadn't paid attention to this group of young Hanlin Academy students for 180 years. He suddenly wanted to pay attention to them, but he fell sick

And left early..,

Most importantly, they had given him face and waited for him, yet he still hadn't arrived …

Just by thinking about it, he felt that his impression in the emperor's heart was hopeless!

Lin Ruhai pointed at the Grand Secretary's nose and wanted to scold him, but because of the remaining rationality in his mind, he stopped his actions and left in a huff!

The Chancellor's assistant was also stunned by his actions. "Chancellor, aren't you completely offending the Lin family and Duke Rongguo?"

It was difficult for a second-rank official to meet the Emperor alone. He had offended Duke Rongguo, who was favored by the Emperor, and Earl Lim, who had a bright future ahead of him. Did he really think that he had lived too long?

The First Secretary did not mind and waved his hand, "Aren't I prepared to compensate him with a daughter?

What does his refusal have to do with me? "

Deputy: "…"

Do you really think that Earl Lim is as dumb as you?

The Grand Secretary snorted, "The Third Prince wants me to teach Lin Ruhai a lesson. What can I do?"

Deputy: "…"

Logically speaking, your actions can't be summed up with the word 'teach' right?

It's not that you're envious of a newcomer who has the opportunity to meet the Emperor, so you're trying to trip him up?

The Third Prince has the ability to refuse to take the blame!

How stupid must he be to not think of ways to rope in Duke Rongguo and offend him instead?

Or perhaps, you're a spy from the Third Prince's camp?

The deputy continuously ridiculed his superior in his heart. When he thought of this, his eyes suddenly widened and a chill ran down his spine.

The Grand Secretary did not notice anything and only muttered under his breath, "He sure is steady …"

-

Lin Ruhai was in the middle of the crowd and gradually calmed down after being angered by the Grand Secretary's words.

After calming down, he felt that the Grand Secretary's actions today were very strange.

Then, he quickly recalled the details that he had neglected previously.

The servant who had sent him a message that the Grand Secretary wanted him to go home to recuperate was the same person who had sent him a message to Rongguo Province, saying that His Holiness was looking for him.

Furthermore, the timing of his arrival in Rongguo Province was too coincidental.

If that servant had gone to the Lin family right after he left and asked about his whereabouts before turning to Rongguo Province, he would have definitely sped up in order to pass the message to him as soon as possible. Under normal circumstances, he would have been able to stop him halfway.

However, he had only reached Rongguo Province for half a cup of tea's time before he met the servant who had sent the message.

If that servant had only arrived at the Lin family after he had left for a long time, then he shouldn't have arrived in Rongguo Province so early.

Rongguo Province wasn't far from the Lin family's residence, but it definitely wasn't close either.

Unless, that servant had been following him ever since he had asked him to go home to rest. That was why he was able to grasp the timing so accurately.

But why was he following him?

In order to create the false impression that he had indeed sent someone to the Lin family to look for him, but had not been able to invite him.

Haha, he knew that even if the Grand Secretary's family wasn't as powerful as the Duke Rongguo, as a second-rank official with real power, how could he possibly give his daughter to him as a concubine?

Furthermore, his daughter had such a good reputation. Wouldn't marrying her off as the official wife be better than giving her to a subordinate as a concubine?

Even if he wanted to give his daughter away as a concubine, wouldn't it be better for him to do so in the various princes' residences?

Furthermore, the officials had always been arrogant. If they were to find out that the Grand Secretary had done such a disgraceful thing, not only would they draw a clear line between them, they would also scold him to death.

Now, it seemed that the Grand Secretary's brainless suggestion wasn't without a reason.

Firstly, it was to shut him up and make him keep his mouth shut about what had happened today.

After all, even if he had cleaned up the matter of him snatching his subordinate's opportunity to meet the Emperor, as long as Lin Ruhai mentioned it to others, it would easily spread.

Without evidence, that meant that they couldn't use it to do anything to him. It didn't mean that those old foxes wouldn't be able to guess the truth.

Secondly, it was to sow discord between him and the Duke Rongguo.

For a second-rank official's daughter to be his concubine, it was extremely tempting for a greenhorn like him to do so. It was something that could easily bring him vanity.

At the same time, he spoke with the identity of a superior, so there was a sense of coercion.

If he had been muddle-headed today and willingly agreed to take his daughter as a concubine, the marriage between the Lin family and the Rongguo Province would definitely be broken.

Once the relationship between the two families was broken, who would care about what the Grand Secretary had done today?

It would be good if the Duke Rongguo didn't kill him. Why would he stand up for him?

Even if Lin Ruhai cared, he was just a newbie who had been suppressed the moment he appeared. What could he do to a mere Chancellor?

Furthermore, if he had really scolded the Grand Secretary in a fit of anger, he would have been labeled as' disrespectful to his superior '. How would he be able to mingle in the imperial court in the future?

Furthermore, if he didn't have a good impression of the Third Miss and heard that his superior wanted to betroth her daughter to him as a concubine, even if he was clear-headed and didn't agree because of the Duke Rongguo, wouldn't he have other thoughts?

At that time, how would he tell the Duke Rongguo about this?

Although this scheme was stupid and vicious, as long as his attitude wasn't firm enough, it was very likely that he would fall for it.

Lin Ruhai touched his back. His clothes were completely soaked.

As expected, someone who could sit in the position of the Grand Secretary was definitely not an idiot.

The entire Rongguo Province was hung with red lanterns. Even the original curtains and fabrics were all changed to a festive red.

After Jia Su returned from Concubine Hu's courtyard that day, she had been quietly staying in her room, eating and drinking. Her days were too comfortable, and it was easy for her to forget the time.

If it weren't for Jia Xie and Jia Zheng's wives coming to talk to her from time to time, she reckoned that she wouldn't have been able to react even after Jia Min got married.

Early this morning, Jia Xie's wife, Chang Clan's wife, and Jia Zheng's wife, Wang Clan's wife, came to her place together.

Seeing her sitting on a chair and flipping through a book, Chang Clan's eyes lit up, "Third Meimei, have you prepared breakfast?

Can you go with sisters-in-law to Meimei Min's courtyard to talk with her? "

Chang Clan was considerate and didn't mention that Jia Min was getting married tomorrow.

She had a good relationship with Jia Min, and had received her, her mother-in-law, and her husband's advice. Naturally, she was kind to Jia Su and was considerate of her.

Marriage was a word that was likely to cause Jia Su's displeasure, so she always avoided it as much as possible.

Jia Daishan wanted to use the year before Jia Su's marriage to ease her relationship with Jia Su so that she would be more concerned about Rongguo Province. She was worried that her sisters-in-law would have bad feelings towards Jia Su because of the rumors in the residence, so Jia Daishan especially told them the truth about the marriage swap.

Wang Clan didn't have this concern, "That's right.

Third Meimei, Fourth Meimei is getting married tomorrow, so she must be nervous. Us sisters-in-law will go over and talk with her. I think it will make her feel more relaxed. "

Wang Clan's eyes were full of malicious ridicule when she said this.

Ever since she married into Rongguo Province, she had been at odds with her sister-in-law, Jia Min.

Originally, Jia Min only looked down on her illiteracy. Every time she talked with her sister-in-law, who was from a scholarly family, she would exclude her. Who knew that after Jia Min got engaged, her eyes would be filled with hatred and hatred when she looked at her. Her original disregard had also turned into targeting her in every way.

Even if it was just a small conflict and dissatisfaction, Wang Clan could bear it in their hearts for many years, let alone now that Jia Min was targeting her.

However, her parents-in-law and husband were all partial to her sister-in-law. They turned a blind eye to Jia Min's behavior and always felt that she was trying to sow discord between them.

Wang Clan couldn't wait for Jia Min to die immediately.

Although she didn't know why Jia Shi shi, who obviously didn't like her, would urge her and her sister-in-law to get close to a concubine's daughter every day on the day of paying respects to her, Wang shi could see that Jia Shi was not a simple person after these days of contact.

If they could provoke the conflict between Jia Su and Jia Min, they only needed to make a small noise when Jia Min was about to get married. It was enough to make her regret for life.

And according to Wang Clan's understanding of Jia Su, it was impossible for her to severely punish Jia Su.

This would be a great blow to Jia Min, who had been spoiled since childhood.

Chang Clan also guessed Wang Clan's intention, but it was too late to stop them. At this time, she couldn't help but pull Wang Clan's sleeve, "Sister-in-law, be careful with your words!"

Hadn't she been doing well all this while? Why did she drop the ball at the last moment?

Chang Clan was a little angry. They couldn't help but turn to look at Jia Su, worried that she would be angered.

But no matter how well Wang Clan calculated, they couldn't beat Jia Su. She didn't follow the routine at all, "Go to Fourth Sister's place?

No need, right?

She should be busy at this time. What if I disturb her? "

Wang Clan's phoenix eyes widened, "Third Sister, today is the last day we can talk to Fourth Sister. Wouldn't it be a pity if you miss it?"

Tomorrow was Jia Min's wedding. Although women like them could enter the wedding room and talk to her, there were many people coming and going. It was not suitable for them to talk.

Jia Su smiled, "No."

If she went there at this time, wouldn't she be making trouble for Jia Min?

She could see that every time Jia Min saw her, her eyes were full of guilt.

Wang Clan wanted to persuade her again, but Chang Clan pulled them back.

She turned back and met Chang Clan's warning eyes. Thinking that her family would have to rely on her eldest brother's family in the future, she could only endure.

Chang Clan quickly said goodbye and pulled Wang Clan away.

After they left, Chi Xia walked to Jia Su's side, "Miss, Fourth Sister is your sister after all. Is it really okay if you don't go today?"

She didn't think that Miss had anything to say to Fourth Sister, but marriage was a once-in-a-lifetime event. If her Miss didn't show up, it would be easy for others to talk about it in the future.

Jia Su tilted her head and thought, "No need. Fourth Sister and I don't have anything to say to each other.

Besides, if Jia Min really has something to say to me, she may not say it in front of Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law. "

Chi Xia almost immediately thought of the Wang Clan's not-so-subtle provocation just now.

"Second Young Mistress is really too much. Fourth Sister is about to get married. Why is she angry with her at this time?"

Chi Xia sighed, "Even if she really succeeded, Madam wouldn't dare to punish Fourth Sister severely, but would she let her go?

Fourth Sister is Madam's biological daughter! "

"Isn't Second Young Mistress very good at being humble and amusing in front of Madam?

Why did she lose her mind when she met Fourth Sister? "

Jia Su laughed, "Maybe they were enemies in the previous life."

Her words were not without reason.

In the original work, Wang Clan's attitude towards their niece, Daiyu, originated from the grudges before Jia Min was married.

But what about Jia Min?

It could be seen from her hostility towards Wang Clan that she must have had some adventures after her rebirth, so she knew everything that happened after Daiyu came to Rongguo Province.

As a mother, she always wanted to avenge her daughter!

Moreover, in the original work, Wang Clan did not only harm Daiyu, but also the destruction of Rongguo Province.

She even dared to take the hidden property of the Zhen Family as her own private property.

If Jia Min wanted to save Rongguo Province from its collapse, she naturally had to avoid every possible source that could cause this ending.

Naturally, she disliked Wang Clan even more.

She wondered how Jia Daishan felt when he learned that his wife and daughter-in-law were involved in the destruction of Rongguo Province.

"Miss, are you really not going to see Fourth Sister?" Chi Xia was not very interested in the dispute between Wang Clan and Fourth Sister. She was more concerned about her own Miss.

Jia Su thought for a while and said, "Let's go tonight."

She would leave after meeting them.

She had not left Rongguo Province yet, so it was better not to be caught by others.

However, Jia Shu felt that there were other emotions hidden in Jia Zhi's eyes when he looked at the child.

And this child did not seem to have no feelings towards Jia Zhi.

Jia Su sighed in her heart and looked at Jia Gu. She found that her attitude towards the three children was much simpler: disgust.

Yes, there was only pure disgust in Jia Gu's eyes as he looked at the three children.

Among them, the youngest girl received the most emotions from Jia Gu.

Jia Zhi noticed her gaze and said faintly, "He asked for it. Third Sister, you don't have to care."

As soon as she said this, a trace of hurt flashed through the boy's eyes. He twisted his two chubby hands together and said with a wronged expression, "Mother, my face hurts."

However, Jia Zhi did not care at all.

Seeing that Jia Zhi did not pay attention to him, the child curled his lips and lowered his head dejectedly.

The other three children were complacent when they saw this. The girl even said proudly to Jia Gu, "Di Mother, this boy pushed me down. You must avenge me. Otherwise, I will go back and tell Father that he is not allowed to enter your room for a month!"

Not to mention Jia Su, even Chi Xia's cui Yan, who was accustomed to taking in concubines, could not help but widen her eyes and look at this little girl in disbelief.

Was this really something a five or six-year-old girl would say?

She instigated Father to suppress Di Mother?

However, Jia Su, who was full of concern for Jia Su's experience at the beginning and did not hesitate to offend Di Mother in order to "save Jia Su", was embarrassed at this moment. She did not have the slightest bit of dignity as a wife and mother.

She just asked the servant girls to pull the three children aside and did not even scold them.

In the end, it was Jia Zhi's cold face that made them shut up.

Jia Su only saw the tip of the iceberg about Jia Gu's life in Xiuguogongfu.

She suddenly thought of the young Lin Ruhai. Although she knew that Jia Gu's and Jia Zhi's husbands were not the same kind of people, she was once again determined that she would never give the lower half of her body to a man.

Men were all big pig trotters!

Men in ancient times were f * cking upgraded versions of big pig trotters!

Meeting Jia Su's gaze, Jia Gu awkwardly turned her head and looked away.

Jia Zhi laughed for the first time. Her gaze fell on the little girl who showed a mean temperament at such a young age. "I told you that your husband is a bastard who spoils his concubines and neglects his wife. You must not be controlled by him.

You did not take my words to heart. Now you have tasted the bitterness?

Ha! "

Jia Gu turned her head and smiled reluctantly. "He is my husband and my god. What can I do?"

Jia Zhi stared at Jia Gu resentfully. "You are really …"

"Two sisters …"

Jia Zhi turned her head and looked over. She sighed. "It's nothing. It's just a small matter not worth mentioning."

Jia Gu nodded her head in agreement.

The two obviously did not want to talk about their life after marriage. Jia Su had no choice but to change the topic. The scene was really awkward.

It was not until Jia Gu sent someone to invite Jia Gu and Jia Su that the atmosphere in the room eased.

Jia Zhi stood up and glanced at Jia Su. "Those gossipy women are all in fourth sister's boudoir. If you don't appear, I don't know what kind of rumors will spread about you."

Jia Gu persuaded her. "Third sister's reputation in the capital is not good. If you give them more things to talk about, it will not be good for you."

Thinking that she was the only one out of the four sisters who did not appear, it was easy for people to make wild guesses. Jia Su followed her.

-

Time passed quickly. It had been more than a month since Jia Min's wedding.

Because of the hostility between them, Jia Zhi did not let Jia Min meet her on the day of her return.

However, just a few days ago, she heard that Jia Daishan had found a job for Zhou Yu's family in the Imperial Guard Long. He directly cut off the ending of Jia Min following him back to the southwest.

Now, the method of fighting in the house that Jia Min had asked her about could not be used for the time being.

Cui Yan was indignant when she heard the news. "If Miss marries over, Master will not care whether Miss marries far away or not. It is impossible for him to arrange a job for Miss's husband."

Chi Xia glared at her. "Cui Yan, be careful with your words!"

Jia Su waved her hand and did not care. "Has Eldest Sister sent anyone to send news?"

Jia Zhi acted decisively. Not long after he returned, he bought the few that Jia Su had taken a fancy to with her dowry. After that, he often sent people to communicate with her.

However, Jia Gu seemed to have disappeared. She had originally said that she would consider it for a long time, but there was still no answer.

Chi Xia still shook her head. "This servant has asked the gatekeeper. Xiuguogongfu's servants have not come over during this time."

Jia Su wanted to ask more, but the servant girl who passed the message ran in. "Miss, the young mistress is here."

Jia Su facepalmed. She could only put Jia Gu's matter aside for the time being. "Let her come in."

This Jia Daishan really did not give up. Ever since he found out that Concubine Hu was stubborn and could not be used as a breakthrough to ease their relationship, he had the Chang Clan and Wang Clan come every day to communicate with her, regardless of whether she was willing or not.

She could not fall out with him, so she could only deal with him carefully.

The Chang Clan had been married to the family for three years, but because they were still not happy and had not gained a firm foothold in Rongguo Province, they could only obey Jia Daishan and his wife's orders.

But the matter of communicating feelings with Jia Shu was really beyond the scope of her ability.

Because of the Jia Daishan's attitude towards Jia Su, the Chang Clan treated this concubine-born sister-in-law very carefully. They were afraid that if they were careless, they would offend her. If that happened, they would have to bear the consequences in front of their parents-in-law.

Therefore, in the beginning, the Chang Clan only planned to compete with Jia Su's poetry.

This topic was not only safe, but also to pass the time.

However, she did not expect that Jia Su knew nothing about poetry. Not to mention her own poetry, Jia Su often looked confused when she recited a line of ancient poetry. He actually said that he did not know.
