The weather in May can change at any time. It was the time when the office was closed, and a heavy downpour rained violently on the blue brick streets of the capital, causing pedestrians to run away like rats.

The official sedans on the street were faced with the sudden heavy rain, while the bearers could only brave the rain and move forward with difficulty, carrying the sedans back to the mansion in an orderly manner.

This era was so hierarchical that the bearers could only bear the raindrops as big as soybeans slapping their cheeks, while the adults inside sat safely in the sedan.

However, it is impossible to compare vertically, but horizontally, they have a sense of advantage, because their status is higher than the corvee bearers and the cheap hired bearers, but they have a stable income and food.

"Three cows, four cows, you two brothers, be careful and walk slower!" Lin Fu followed closely in the heavy rain, while constantly directing the two brothers walking in front.

Although the two brothers had plenty of strength, their work seemed a bit rough. After hearing this, they slowed down and held the sedan poles firmly with their thick arms and shouldered them.

The journey was not too far, and the sedan quickly turned into an alley, where servants were already looking around, and the door of the mansion soon opened.

"Be careful, be careful of the steps!" Lin Jinyuan held an umbrella at the door, but seriously reminded the bearer.

The sedan did not stop in the front yard, but was carried directly into the sedan hall. This sedan hall is very narrow and can only accommodate two sedans, but it is the best parking place on rainy and snowy days.

When the sedan slowly and steadily landed in the sedan hall, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Jinyuan diligently stepped forward and helped open the sedan curtain.

In the current era, the prosperity and disgrace of a family and a clan are often tied to just one person.

Lin Haoran, who was wearing a first-grade official uniform, walked out of the sedan expressionlessly, with not even a drop of rain on his body, adding a bit of majesty to his whole body.

It has been more than a year since he took up the post of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue last year. Although he has received a lot of criticism due to his age and qualifications, these voices have disappeared without a trace now, but no one dares to question him as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

The ability of the minister.

It was precisely through his diligence and wisdom that he not only won the unanimous recognition of the officials below, but also was highly appreciated by Jiajing, and he could be said to have firmly occupied the position of Minister of Household Affairs.

"I respectfully welcome the master back home!" Wu Qiuyu and Hua Yingrong greeted him politely first and saluted Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran nodded gently and asked about the situation at home as usual. After learning that everything was fine, he walked towards the inner house with his two beautiful wives.

Life is always dull, especially in this era of backward transportation and entertainment. People with Lin Ping's temperament are already in the minority. Many women live quietly in a corner and spend the whole day in their own houses.

Since it was a heavy rainy day, especially the rain continued until night? No one came to disturb me.

After dinner? Lin Haoran took a hot bath, and then walked into Hua Yingrong's scent-filled room.

Hua Yingrong, dressed as a mature and beautiful woman, is sitting at the table. Her eyes like autumn water are staring at the account book, and her pair of slender jade fingers are quickly turning the abacus, completely unaware of the arrival of her husband.

Lin Haoran came in and looked at her focused on her work. However, she couldn't help but think of herself who worked crazily in her previous life. Although it was hard work, she was also happy.

For such a woman? Can't she be raised like a canary? The life of a woman in this era is undoubtedly a torture for her, but to truly love her is to support her in her work.

Although Lin Haoran is not a devoted man, he is still a good husband and remains considerate to Wu Qiuyu and Hua Yingrong.

He went to the bookshelf to take down a volume. He just sat quietly on the chair next to Hua Yingrong and read the book comfortably. This was also his way of getting along with Hua Yingrong.

The rain outside was still falling quietly, and the candlesticks were melting bit by bit.

It's just that things have to come to an end. Hua Yingrong, who had finished checking Suzhou United Bank, stretched her waist, and when she glanced at the husband next to her, she couldn't help but reveal a heartwarming smile on her face.

She likes this husband who accompanies her quietly. Not only does he not disturb her work, but he also quietly accompanies her, giving her an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

Hua Yingrong touched the teapot while it was still warm, poured a cup of tea and gave it to Lin Haoran: "Husband? When did you come?"

"Just arrived!" Lin Haoran said after watching Lin Haoran finish his work and put down the book in his hand.

Hua Yingrong glanced at the book, but she said with wisdom: "Liar? This is the fiftieth chapter of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" you saw last time? Look where you are now."

"It's not good for you to be so smart!" Lin Haoran picked up the teacup and joked deliberately.

Hua Yingrong naturally knew that Lin Haoran was not really accusing her, so she responded with a smile: "No matter how smart I am, I can't compare to your three-step calculation. You are the smartest person in the Ming Dynasty!"

After so many years of getting along, she naturally knew what kind of man she was marrying. Although she was somewhat smart, she was far inferior to this outstanding man in all aspects. How could she survive in the most complex and ever-changing court of this era?

Like a fish in water.

"The smartest man in the Ming Dynasty? Just listen to this. Although there are some differences between this person and others, after all, they are not too different. I never dare to peek at Xu Jie!" Lin Haoran took a sip of tea, but

He shook his head bitterly.

Hua Yingrong was full of confidence in her husband-in-law and said with some regret: "It is fortunate that the emperor's condition has worsened. Otherwise, with Xu Jie's inaction over the years, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold the position of chief minister!"

"You still underestimate Xu Jie! In the past four years, Xu Jie has accomplished the goal of uniting the party and opposing dissidents. Now most officials in the government and the public support him. As long as he does not fall out of favor with the emperor, his inaction in power can only be a target.

But whether it can achieve a decisive effect is still unknown!" Lin Haoran put down the tea cup gently and said helplessly.

Hua Yingrong frowned slightly, but asked doubtfully: "Is Xu Jie really so difficult to deal with?"

"No one who can sit in the position of chief minister in the Jiajing Dynasty will be a fuel-efficient lamp. Xu Jie is actually more difficult to deal with than Yan Song. Although Yan Song gained greater favor from the emperor, he was criticized by all parties for living alone.

The forces were dissatisfied, and they even offended a large number of wealthy gentry in the southeastern anti-Japanese war by expropriating silver and rectifying the salt policy. It can be said that they lost their "mass base." On the other hand, Xu Jie, who has been wooing all forces in the past four years, also gained

The emperor's favorite, it is really difficult to overthrow him now, and we only have a chance of winning if we find a way to introduce a list of unruly people!" Lin Haoran looked up into Hua Yingrong's eyes and said seriously.

Hua Yingrong met Lin Haoran's gaze, but smiled slightly and said: "It's a pity that he was born at the wrong time and met a person like my husband. My husband has been waiting for a suitable opportunity these days, right?"
