Chapter 44
Chapter 44
In the midst of being busy, time passed quickly without knowing it, and several months passed in a blink of an eye, and because the process went smoothly, Lin Ruhai actually collected all the debts owed by the treasury. There are only a few left, and because they haven't paid the money, they can only hand in part of it, and the rest will pay it back slowly.
However, when Lin Ruhai finally managed to steal half a day of leisure from Fusheng, he received a greeting card.
It is actually not a very surprising thing to receive a letter of invitation. After all, human relations are very normal. The reason for this is that this invitation letter comes from the Xue family.
Although the grievances between the Xue family and the Lin family originated from the Jia family, but because Xue Jia went to prison and later died of illness, the Xue Wang family should hate Lin Ruhai, wishing to peel her skin and tear her bones apart, even though she is a woman. Do something, but at least it should be inseparable from time to time.
But it is just such a family, but they handed over the post to the Lin family, what are they asking for?
Lin Ruhai's mind was full of twists and turns, but Jia Amnesty had already sent a letter, saying that he was concerned about the Xue family, so he put it aside and ignored it.
And because the recovery of the arrears from the national treasury was quite effective, Tujun Pu specially rewarded a bunch of toys and utensils, and even let the palace servants pass an order, saying that he would hold a celebration banquet for him, so Lin Ruhai tidied himself up, He went into the palace.
Lin Ruhai was not completely unaware of Tu Junpu's getting closer and closer attitude. After all, he was an emperor, and he knew a lot about the ways of showing favor to others, but he didn't quite understand it at the beginning. What is the purpose of being nice to yourself.
Before Tu Junpu became the emperor, he showed his favor to himself, it can be said that he wanted to gain his own attention, and he had some face in front of the old sage.It can also be said that you need your own help to show your kindness after becoming the emperor.
But now the old sage disregarded the imperial doctor's previous advice and focused on power, which made his spirit even shorter now, and Tu Junpu's foundation in the court has been stabilized. Don't let Lin Ruhai think twice.
And the result of Lin Ruhai's repeated thinking is that even if he can't believe it, he has to admit the fact that Tu Junpu likes him.
This answer really made Lin Ruhai a little at a loss, and because of this, Lin Ruhai would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable when facing Tu Junpu again.
When Tu Junpu said he was going to hold a celebration banquet, when Lin Ruhai learned that he was the only one being invited, he didn't really want to attend, but Tu Junpu was so interested that Lin Ruhai couldn't refuse.
And the most important thing is that Lin Ruhai is afraid that if he refuses so rashly, Tu Junpu will notice something is wrong. If he provokes him to stir things up regardless, Lin Ruhai really doesn't know what to do with it. What a face to face Tu Junpu.
Therefore, Lin Ruhai just pretended not to know what to do, and went to the banquet calmly.
The imperial chefs who have been screened and screened to enter the palace are of extraordinary ability. Even if Lin Ruhai's taste makes him prefer lighter vegetarian dishes, they can still make more vegetarian dishes in various ways. Most of them are vegetarian dishes, and they don't seem too monotonous.
Tu Junpu wanted to please, and Lin Ruhai wanted to pretend to be a monarch and his ministers to win each other. Therefore, after a banquet, it can barely be regarded as a feast for the guests and host.
It was only because Tu Junpu had been persuading Lin Ruhai to drink, in order not to get drunk, he could only pretend to be drunk, which saved the next wave of persuasive words.
But also due to drinking too much, Lin Ruhai did feel a little dizzy in his head, and his whole body felt uncomfortable.
Just when he was a little confused, Tu Junpu approached him and asked him softly, "Ruhai, are you drunk?"
Lin Ruhai covered his forehead with his hands, using this to cover his eyes and looked around, only to find that none of the court ladies and eunuchs who had been standing around, waiting to serve him, had disappeared. After a while, he was a little worried that Tu Junpu wanted to do something to him.
It's just that he pretended to be drunk with Tu Junpu before, if he wakes up now, he will inevitably be suspected of deceiving the emperor, and once Tu Junpu becomes angry from embarrassment, he can't be kind.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Ruhai pretended to be drunk logically, lay down neatly on the table, closed his eyes and pretended to be drunk and fell asleep.
Although you can't expect Tu Junpu to back down, at least... Lin Ruhai just feels upset and doesn't know what to do, he just doesn't want to open his eyes and let Tu Junpu find out that something is wrong.
Tu Junpu didn't know that Lin Ruhai was pretending to be drunk, but saw him falling asleep, lying on the table, worried that he would feel uncomfortable when he woke up because of this posture, so he wanted to wake him up and go to another place sleep.But he didn't know what accidents Lin Ruhai might have if he wanted to pretend to be asleep and hide away, so seeing that he couldn't wake up, Tu Junpu simply hugged Lin Ruhai and took him to the next room to let him have a good rest some.
When Lin Ruhai's body was hugged by Tu Junpu, he was stiff for a while, but in order not to be discovered by Tu Junpu, he quickly relaxed.But when his body touched the bed, he couldn't relax any more. He just thought that Tu Junpu wanted to accomplish something good with him, so he desperately calculated what to do next in his heart.
But he waited and waited for a long time, but he didn't see any big moves by Tu Junpu next. Instead, his body warmed up, obviously someone had covered him with a quilt.Then there was another sound of chairs being moved in his ears, he thought that Tu Junpu moved a chair to Lin Ruhai's bed, let's sit and watch him sleep.
When he thought that Tu Junpu was drunk and wanted to see himself asleep, Lin Ruhai's forehead was full of black lines, but because of this, he relaxed.Especially the longer Tu Junpu watched, the more Lin Ruhai relaxed, thinking that Tu Junpu would not do anything wrong to him.
However, the longer Tu Junpu looked at Lin Ruhai, the more Lin Ruhai became Monk Zhanger, confused.After all, Lin Ruhai still couldn't believe that Tu Junpu got himself drunk just to see his sleeping face, there must be some other reason.
It is easy to fall asleep with eyes closed, although Lin Ruhai has a strong willpower, but too much time has passed, and he drank again, so he can't hold on anymore.Just when he was about to fall into a dreamland in a daze, Tu Junpu finally made a move, which lifted Lin Ruhai's spirit.
However, unexpectedly, after Tu Junpu just put a hand on his forehead, there was no movement again.
Lin Ruhai hoped that Tu Junpu would just stop like this, as long as he didn't make any more moves, he wouldn't have to flirt with him.On the other hand, he thought that if Tu Junpu made any movement, he should hurry up, so that he would not always feel anxious and uneasy.
While he was struggling in his heart, he still couldn't hold on and fell asleep.
But after Lin Ruhai fell asleep, Tu Junpu made a move.
However, he just put his lips on Lin Ruhai's forehead for a long, long time...
Tu Junpu always wanted to get close to Lin Ruhai, but it was easy to get close to him, but it was too difficult to get into his heart.In particular, although he is only a widower now, but he is in a high position, Jane is in the heart of the emperor, and there are many people who want to marry into the Lin family as a successor. Although Tu Junpu has long been prepared, but when the matter comes, he still cannot bear it Live wanting to be jealous.
Tu Junpu is extremely concerned about Lin Ruhai's every move, so he always pays attention to anything Lin Ruhai wants to do.
Tu Junpu naturally knew about Lin Ruhai sending people to monitor Jia's family, and Tu Junpu was jealous of Lin Ruhai's closeness to Jia Amnesty, but he had to endure it. After all, he could see clearly that the relationship between the two people It's just mutual use, not any real feelings.
However, when Tu Junpu's spies in Jia's house overheard the words of Mrs. Erfang Wang and her younger sister Xue Wangshi, they really couldn't help but burn with anger, wishing to tear the two women apart.
It turned out that Mrs. Wang saw the precarious status of the second bedroom and her younger sister Xue Wangshi was a widow, so she was deceived by pig fat and wanted to marry Lin Ruhai and Xue Wangshi.For this reason, she also said with certainty that Lin Ruhai killed Xue Jia, so she should be responsible for her sister's future life.
Although the Xue Wang family hated Lin Ruhai for killing her husband, she has always been soft-hearted. Although their house is still responsible for the business of the imperial merchant, it is also the power that everyone in the family sees in the Wang family and the Jia family. Don't dare to make things difficult.Because of this, she is extremely convinced by Wang Ziteng and Mrs. Wang's words.
It's just that Wang Ziteng is no longer in the capital because he has repaid the debt owed by the treasury and has the face of the old sage. Now His Majesty has sealed him as the ruler of the nine provinces and ordered to inspect the border.Therefore, Xue Wang was persuaded to live in Rongguo Mansion, and lived in Lixiangyuan under Jia Taijun's words.
For Mrs. Wang's words, Xue Wang could not take it seriously when she first heard it, but later on, Mrs. Wang said more and more benefits. For example, for the future of her son Xue Pan and the future of her daughter Xue Baochai, Xue Wang slowly I was also moved.
And after Mrs. Xue made a move, Mrs. Wang happily asked someone to send a letter of greeting to Lin's family in the name of Xue's family in front of her.
Although Wang Xue wanted to stop her, she sat firmly in her seat in the end and did not say a word.
Mrs. Wang was very happy when she saw her. She thought that her eloquence was really good, and the matter was probably half done.
