Buddha-like Mrs. Lin

Chapter 63

The ratio was not enough to see the anti-theft badge. It would return to normal after 24 hours,

It could be seen.

Jia Su asked herself,

If she was in second sister's position,

She might not be able to have a good impression of the culprit who caused her to be unable to be a mother.

It was one thing for her not to want to have children, and another thing for her not to be allowed to have children when she could.

But Jia Su felt that the way Jia Zhi looked at this child,

There were other emotions hidden in his eyes.

And this child did not seem to have no feelings for 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,

Jia Gu looked at the three children with pure disgust in her eyes.

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

Jia Zhi noticed the look in her eyes.

She said lightly, "He asked for it,

Third sister, don't worry about it. "

As soon as she said this, a trace of hurt flashed in the boy's eyes. His two meaty claws twisted together, and his little expression was extremely aggrieved. "Mother, my face hurts so much ~"

But Jia Zhi did not care at all.

Seeing that Jia Zhi ignored him,

The child pursed his lips,

He lowered his head in frustration.

The other three children were full of pride when they saw this,

The girl even said proudly to Jia Gu, "Di mother, I'm sorry.

This kid pushed me down,

You must avenge me, or I'll go back and tell father not to enter your house for a month! "

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

Was this really what a five- or six-year-old girl said?

She instigated her father to suppress her di mother?

But at the beginning, Jia Su was full of concern for Jia Su's encounter. In order to "save Jia Su", she did not hesitate to offend her di mother. At this moment, her face was full of embarrassment, and she did not have the slightest dignity as a wife and mother.

She only asked the servant girls to pull the three children to the side and did not even reprimand them.

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

Jia Su had only seen the tip of the iceberg regarding Jia Gu's life in Xiuguogongfu.

She suddenly thought of Lin Ruhai, who was still a teenager. Although she knew that he and 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 her lower body to a man.

Men are all pigs!

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

Meeting Jia Su's gaze, Jia Gu turned his head away awkwardly.

Jia Zhi laughed for the first time. His eyes fell on the little girl who had already shown a mean temperament at such a young age. "I told you that your husband is a bastard who spoils his concubine and neglects his wife. You can't let him control you.

You didn't take my words to heart, and now you've tasted the bitterness?

Ha! "

Jia Gu turned back and smiled reluctantly. "He's my husband and my god. What can I do?"

Jia Zhi stared at Jia Gu resentfully. "You're really …"

"Two sisters …"

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

Jia Gu nodded 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 Gu 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 advised, "Third sister's reputation in the capital is already not good. It won't be good for you if you give them something to talk about."

Thinking that she was the only one out of the four sisters who did not appear, Jia Su followed along.

-

Time flew by. 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 she returned to her home.

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 end of Jia Min following him back to the southwest.

Now, the method of fighting in the house that Jia Min had asked her about was temporarily useless.

Cui Yan was indignant when she heard the news. "If Miss marries over, Master won't care whether Miss marries far away or not. It's 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 didn't care. "Did eldest sister send someone to send news?"

Jia Zhi acted decisively. Not long after she returned, she used her dowry to buy the few that Jia Su liked. After that, she often sent people to exchange information with her.

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

Chi Xia still shook her head. "This servant asked the gatekeeper. Xiuguogongfu's servants haven't 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 held her forehead. She had to put the matter of Jia Gu aside for the time being. "Let her in."

This Jia Daishan really didn't give up. Since he found out that Concubine Hu was stubborn and couldn't be a breakthrough to ease the relationship with her, he let the Chang Clan and Wang Clan come every day to communicate with her, regardless of whether she was willing or not.

She couldn't fall out with him, so she could only deal with him carefully.

Chang Clan had been married for three years, but because they hadn't been happy yet and hadn't gained a firm foothold in Rongguo Province, they could only obey Jia Daishan and his wife's orders.

But the matter of getting in touch with Jia Shu was really beyond the scope of her ability.

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

Therefore, from the beginning, Chang Clan only planned to oppose Jia Su's poetry recital.

This topic was safe and could also pass the time.

However, she didn't expect that Jia Su didn't know anything about poetry. Not to mention composing poems himself, Jia Su would often say that he didn't know anything when she recited a line from an ancient poem.

If it wasn't for the messenger 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 Third Miss up and run away.

No matter what, he should have personally explained the situation and said goodbye, right?

However, he had been at Hanlin Academy for so long, yet the Chancellor didn't mention His Excellency at all.

The Chancellor's eyes wandered for a moment before he coughed a few times. "His Holiness might have mentioned you when he was talking with Duke Rongguo after the morning court. It just so happens that the book you helped edit is almost finished, so His Excellency wants to ask you about the progress."

Lin Ruhai immediately began to tidy up his clothes and prepare to meet His Excellency.

With his current official rank, he would have a chance to meet His Excellency alone. If he performed well and the Emperor remembered him, he would definitely have a bright future as an official.

However …

"I just didn't expect you to be sick today. When I sent someone to call you, you had already returned home."

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

Fortunately, His Holiness is magnanimous and didn't make a fuss about it. 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 His Excellency?

Duke Rongguo had finally created an opportunity for him to show his face in front of His Excellency, but in the end, he was rejected by His Excellency in the blink of an eye.

If His Excellency was rejected, then so be it. His Excellency even pushed the blame of not being able to meet His Excellency!

When morning court ended, he had only just returned to work. Even though he was feeling unwell, he was still given a break by His Excellency after more than an hour before he left Hanlin Academy, right?

Now that he looked at his fingers, why did he feel that no matter how he looked at it, it was all wrong?

His Excellency obviously realized that His Excellency might summon him after morning court ended. Coincidentally, His Excellency happened to be sick, so His Excellency took the opportunity to send him away in advance!

His Holiness hadn't paid attention to this group of small Hanlin Academy students for a hundred and eighty years. He suddenly wanted to pay attention to them, but he fell sick in the end.

He even left early.

Most importantly, His Excellency gave him face and waited for him, but he still didn't arrive …

Just thinking about it made him feel that his impression in His Excellency's heart was hopeless!

Lin Ruhai pointed at the Chancellor'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 by doing this?"

A lower second-rank official who couldn't even meet His Excellency alone had offended the Emperor's Excellency, Duke Rongguo, and Earl Lim, who had a bright future ahead of him. Did he really think that he had lived for too long?

The Chancellor didn't care at all and waved his hand. "Aren't I prepared to compensate him with a daughter?

He rejected it himself, what does it have to do with me? "

Assistant, "…"

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

The Chancellor snorted. "The Third Prince asked me to teach Lin Ruhai a lesson, what can I do?"

Assistant, "…"

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

It's not that you're envious that a newcomer who just entered the court has the opportunity to meet His Excellency, so you're trying to trip him up?

The Third Prince doesn't have the ability to take the blame!

How stupid must he be to offend Duke Rongguo instead of trying to rope him in?

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

The assistant continuously ridiculed his superior in his heart, but 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 Chancellor.

After calming down, he felt that the Chancellor's actions today were filled with incongruity.

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

The servant who told him that the Chancellor wanted him to return home to recuperate was the same person who came to Rongguo Province to tell him that His Holiness was looking for him.

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

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

However, he met the servant less than half a cup of tea's time after arriving in Rongguo Province.

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

The distance between Rongguo Province and the Lin family's residence wasn't far, but it definitely wasn't close either.

Unless, this servant had been following him ever since he told him to return home to rest. That's 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 was unable to invite him over.

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

Furthermore, his daughter's reputation was so good. 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 to give it to the imperial family of each prince?

Furthermore, the officials had always been arrogant. If they knew that the Chancellor had done such a thing, not only would they draw a clear line between them, they would also scold him to death.

Now, it seemed that the Chancellor's brainless suggestion wasn't without reason.

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

After all, even if he had cleaned up the matter of him snatching a 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 do anything to him, but it didn't mean that those sly 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. 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 Chancellor had done today?

It would be good if the Duke Rongguo didn't beat him to death. 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 Chancellor in a fit of anger, the label of 'disrespecting a superior' would have been pinned on him. How would he be able to mingle in the bureaucracy 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 and realized that his clothes were drenched.

Indeed, someone who could sit in the position of the Chancellor was definitely not an idiot.

If the Chancellor hadn't sent someone to inform him 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 should have personally explained the situation and bid farewell, right?

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

So what if he was rejected? He even pushed the blame of not being able to meet the Emperor!

When morning court ended, he had only just started work. Even though he was feeling unwell, he was still given a break by his "good superior" after more than an hour before he left the Hanlin Academy, right?

Now that he pulled his fingers together, why did he feel that no matter how he calculated, it was all wrong?

His superior obviously realized that the Emperor might have summoned him after morning court ended. Coincidentally, he happened to be sick, so he took the opportunity to send him away in advance!

His Holiness hadn't paid attention to this group of small Hanlin scholars for a hundred and eighty years. He suddenly wanted to pay attention to them, but he fell sick in the end.

He even left early.

Most importantly, he gave him face and waited for him, but he still didn't arrive …

Just thinking about it made him feel that his image in the Emperor's heart was hopeless!

Lin Ruhai pointed at the Chancellor'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?"

A secondary second-rank official who couldn't even meet the Emperor alone 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 for too long?

The Chancellor didn't care at all and waved his hand. "Aren't I prepared to compensate him with a daughter?

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?
