165 165 Chaos
◎Normal! I'm used to it, okay?◎
Seeing Xue Pan throwing tantrums and crying like that, Lin Ruhai gradually lost his patience.
Or maybe he didn't have much patience from the beginning, but it was his years of self-control that prevented him from getting angry right away.
In fact, he had already started to speak harshly a little earlier. But Xue Pan was a man with a slow mind, and he didn't understand the hints in Lin Ruhai's words.
Well, in the end, Lin Ruhai's words were not hints, but explicit statements.
But Xue the fool is the one who pretends to know everything, and he won't stop until he achieves his goal.
Since that was the case, Lin Ruhai didn't bother to waste time with him anymore.
He immediately stood up, ignored Xue Pan's cries, and directly arranged for someone to send Xue Pan back to Ningguo Mansion - as for how to send him, it doesn't matter, as long as he gets there.
Xiang Bo and others had already tied up Xue Pan according to Lin Ruhai's instructions, and now after hearing Lin Ruhai's instructions, they immediately stuffed Xue Pan's mouth...
There was no other way, he was making too much noise, it was really noisy, and this was the only way to do it.
Ningguo Mansion has always been known as a scholarly family, and the most particular about etiquette, so they must understand their difficulties, right?
After all, Xiang Bo has been a steward who has followed Lin Ruhai for many years. He understood Lin Ruhai's eyes in seconds.
Even Lin Ruhai didn't need to say anything, he was sure that he could satisfy Lin Ruhai.
No need to worry about whether to send Xue Pan "safely" or what to say when he arrives at Ningguo Mansion, just leave everything to Xiangbo.
Seeing Xue Pan tied up like a dumpling and dragged away by Xiangbo, Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief, and then sat down and chatted with Mo Yu for a few words.
Lin Ruhai first talked to Mo Yu about some unimportant little things, mainly to bring the father and son closer and keep in touch.
As for why they need to keep in touch, it is mainly because they have been apart for the past two years. On the one hand, they really miss each other, and on the other hand, they are afraid of being estranged.
At the beginning, of course, it was because they were in different places.
Lin Ruhai was a salt inspector in Jiangnan, while Mo Yu settled in the capital with Jia Min and Xiao Daiyu. This kind of separation was definitely not conducive to the cultivation and maintenance of their relationship.
Later, Lin Ruhai was promoted and returned to the capital to work in the Censorate, but he was also very busy. There was a time difference with Mo Yu, who had the same things to do but had to go to the palace to work at a fixed time. They only saw each other a few times a year.
Not to mention that Master Kang liked to go on tours and he had to take Mo Yu, the little mascot, with him... It basically took several months to go out and back.
To exaggerate a little, Lin Ruhai often felt that he could not see his son at all, and when he saw him again, he felt that his son had grown a lot taller. Even the third place in the imperial examination could not bear this feeling.
For this, he actually reported it to Master Kang in a serious manner, playing the role of a pitiful old father who missed his son.
Master Kang also said that he understood it very well.
Miss your son? That must be arranged!
If there is no chance to meet, then create an opportunity to meet. You can't let the biological father and son not meet.
In fact, this time, the father and son unexpectedly accompanied Master Kang on a southern tour again. It should have been a good opportunity for the father and son to reunite. Although he and Mo Yu are father and son, and both work for Master Kang, they are responsible for different areas, mainly because Lin Ruhai is too busy, so they have no time to get together.
How does the saying go?
Once you enter the palace, it is like a deep sea.
The same is true when you enter the officialdom.
Let alone Lin Ruhai, who holds an important position in the Censorate, even Mo Yu, who is somewhere between a mascot and a serious errand boy, is equally busy.
Not only does he have to do serious work, but he also has to find time to eat melons or something. It's really too busy.
And there is a trend of getting busier and busier.
It's strange to say that although Master Kang has become more and more friendly to Mo Yu in the past two years, his temper and personality have become more and more strange.
At the beginning, Mo Yu was still able to control his joys, sorrows, anger and happiness. After all, although this old man is powerful, Mo Yu has the historical evaluation of him as a basic reference, and with the help of the real-time query function of System 006, it is not a very difficult thing to understand Master Kang's behavior and general thoughts.
At least Mo Yu didn't feel that there was any difficulty.
After all, what he asked for was not much.
He did not want to be Master Kang's confidant, nor did he want to be a mascot, and he did not want to get promoted and make a fortune, and reach the pinnacle of life... Anyway, he felt that his current life was almost the pinnacle of his life compared to his previous life as a social animal.
As the only legitimate son of a third-rank official, as long as he could lie down and wait for death, nothing else mattered.
Mo Yu thought so in his heart, and he did so, but in fact, the result of doing so was the opposite of his expectations. He obviously did nothing, but he still had everything, which was really too hateful.
Anyway, it would be quite Versailles if this kind of words were said too much. At least Mo Yu felt embarrassed to say that the salted fish was rotten.
The salted fish was rotten and could still be promoted three levels in a year?
This must be funny, right?
Dare to say something nonsense about salted fish? That's definitely an exaggeration. It's better to keep your mouth shut, otherwise he will definitely be laughed at by his sister, little Daiyu.
As she grows older, this little sister Daiyu is really getting more and more sharp-tongued. Even though Mo Yu is her biological brother now, he can't avoid being laughed at by her. Although it's not malicious, it still makes him embarrassed sometimes.
It's not that little Daiyu embarrassed him on purpose, it's mainly because this kind of IQ crushing really makes him, an adult, a little embarrassed.
But considering that little Daiyu's IQ is inherited from her father Lin Ruhai, the academic master, everything seems reasonable again.
Okay, we are all family, why bother so much?
Just laugh a few times, just to make her happy, we are a family, that's how it should be. Besides, little Daiyu was just joking with him, in fact, she still loves him very much.
Specifically, she can say anything to him, but not to others.
Even if Lin Ruhai and Jia Min said a few words to him, it would not work. He seemed to have the demeanor of a "big sister" - only I can bully my brother, no one else is allowed to touch him, and I will be angry with anyone who touches him!
It was quite touching.
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were very happy to see that the siblings were so harmonious. In their own words, with such harmony in the family, they would live a few more years.
Unlike the harmonious situation of the Lin family, the situations of the other families were not so harmonious.
Not to mention the Jia family, both the Ningguo Mansion and the Rongguo Mansion had been in chaos for a long time.
In Ningguo Mansion, after Jia Jing came back from Xuanzhen Temple, Jia Zhen behaved well for a while, but that was only temporary.
After all, "it's hard to change a person's nature" and "a dog can't change its nature". He had lived like this for the past thirty years. Could it be that just relying on his father's return for a few months would be enough to change all his previous bad habits?
This is impossible.
Although Mo Yu was often not in Beijing, he knew that this family was weird and would make some noise whenever they had nothing to do.
One moment, Jia Jing got a group of Taoist priests to come to Ningguo Mansion for a ritual, but found that these "experts" were stealing things and harassing the women. The next moment, Jia Zhen found a few concubines to hang out in the house and almost had a stroke.
In short, it was a mess, and it didn't look like a century-old family at all.
The men were so absurd, and the women were not very helpful.
Yu Shi had always been a person who didn't care about things. Qin Keqing was capable, but she was young after all, and there were many things she couldn't handle.
The most surprising thing was that she didn't have an affair with Jia Zhen this time.
Except for some strange rumors when she was pregnant at the beginning, everything died down after the child was born.
Because she gave birth to a son.
In this era, a woman would be confident if she had a son, and she would instantly change from a young daughter-in-law to a future mother-in-law.
Although she can't be called "Madam" now because Jia Jing is still there, it is definitely a matter of time.
It all depends on how she manages it, whether she can secure the position of the mistress of Ningguo Mansion*.
Anyway, her cheap mother-in-law, Youshi, will definitely not be a stumbling block for her.
But there is really no follow-up between her and Jia Zhen.
Mo Yu felt a little strange that the most explosive melon in the original novel had such an ending.
He originally thought that the time of the plot had not come yet, or something went wrong so this plot did not happen, but for some reason, every time he went to Ningguo Mansion, he always felt that Jia Zhen was a little afraid to look him in the eye.
This Master Zhen didn't even dare to look his daughter-in-law Qin Keqing in the eye, as if the dirty thoughts in his heart were seen by them.
Mo Yu had no idea that Jia Zhen behaved so strangely because he had revealed all the plots when they first met.
Including Jia Zhen's disrespect for the elderly. He was obviously a father-in-law, but he still coveted someone else's young and beautiful daughter-in-law. In the end, he forced her to have an affair with him, which damaged her reputation and made her die in depression.
This behavior of openly cheating on her own son was really explosive. It was really something that even novels dared not write about, but it turned out to be a true story.
This made people even more speechless.
Ningguo Mansion was in such a mess, and Rongguo Mansion was not much better.
After all, the two Dukes' Mansions are next door to each other. You can't write two Jia characters in one stroke. They are of the same blood, and they can't be any better.
The first is Jia She.
After all, he is Mo Yu's uncle.
Like Jia Zhen next door, Mo Yu's cheap uncle has always been addicted to women and sex. It is said that he fell in love with a new maid some time ago and almost forced her to death.
Because Jia She, the old man, insisted on taking her as a concubine, the girl was not happy, and finally reported it to his mother, Jia Mu.
Jia She was of course scolded, but the maid also hated him from then on.
Now, this girl has followed the old lady into the yard. When the old lady is gone and can't protect her, it will definitely be over.
Mrs. Xing risked her dignity to help her husband Jia She mediate this matter, but in the end she was scolded by her mother-in-law, Jia Mu. After all, the mistress of the house did not know how to persuade her husband, and she just followed his lead in everything without any dignity. It was really embarrassing enough.
This shows how chaotic the Rongguo Mansion was.
These things were all said by System 006. The more Mo Yu listened, the more familiar the plot seemed to him. After careful inquiry,
it turned out that the girl was indeed Yanyan. The girl is only fourteen or fifteen years old now, and Jia She is almost fifty. The girl is not even as old as his son Jia Lian, so it is hard for him to really speak and do it.
Everything is exactly the same as the original plot, the only difference is that this plot seems to be a few years earlier.
Originally, this thing should have happened four or five years later when Yanyan became a maid, but now it happened so much earlier, which is also a strange thing.
Another thing is that Jia Zheng had a big quarrel with Mrs. Wang for some reason, and then he slept with Aunt Zhao for a month, and then took a new concubine, and heard that he was preparing to have another son.
From this, Mo Yu guessed that his second uncle was heartbroken by the two sons of Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan, so he was going to practice a trumpet again.
This time, it must be a good one, and he was going to let the old lady help discipline...
In response, Jia's mother said that she was old and had little energy, and she probably couldn't manage it.
So Jia Zheng was going to send the child to Lin Ruhai and Jia Min for discipline... Well, this train of thought is obviously not normal.
Mo Yu and Lin Ruhai chatted while keeping up with the news in Beijing. He was no longer surprised by the chaos in the homes of these top relatives.
After talking about these idle words, Lin Ruhai paused for a moment and finally started talking about the main topic of today:
"Mo'er, your father has something to ask you,
and you must answer your father truthfully." Seeing that he was so serious, Mo Yu sat up straight and said seriously: "Please speak, sir, and I will tell you everything I know."
Seeing Mo Yu like this, Lin Ruhai smiled, but the smile was fleeting, because what he wanted to ask was indeed a very serious matter.
"Your Highness said yesterday that he wanted to ask you, is the Crown Prince capable of great use?"
