Master Lin of the Red Chamber

Traveling with the wind, the speed of the boat was still very fast. Just as Lin Qing and Lin Ruhai were talking, the pier, which was originally blurred, became clear in a blink of an eye, and the noisy voice in the distance was intermittent. passed on.

After stopping the conversation, Lin Ruhai got up and stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the pier in the distance, with a little excitement in his expression, and a trace of expectation in his eyes.

Although Lin Qing was also looking forward to seeing the legendary Sister Lin, but obviously, he still didn't have the same feelings as Lin Ruhai, and his expression became much calmer, with almost no major disturbances.

With the water pattern on the river surface, it became shallower and lighter little by little. Soon, this ship from Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River set foot on the land of the capital. After docking under the command of those officers and soldiers, Lin Ruhai was the first So he got off the boat.

Seeing Lin Ruhai's impatient appearance, completely different from the calm and calm appearance before, Lin Qing raised his eyebrows, and followed closely behind. Anyway, as a young master, he only needs to take care of himself. Others are handled by their own housekeepers.

The wharf dedicated to the government is naturally different from that of ordinary people. Not to mention the layout and structure, but only the number of people, there are obviously a lot fewer people, but after the year is the peak period for coming to Beijing to report on work, so there are relatively few people.

Stepping on the ground, Lin Qing glanced around for a few times, and before he saw something new, Lin Ruhai in front of him had already found his target among so many carriages and sedan chairs, and walked over in stride.

Seeing Lin Ruhai like this, Lin Qing naturally didn't care to look any further, and quickly followed. The two of them strode forward until they came to a few blue carriages with elegant and clean workmanship and stopped. .

"Master, Master, Miss is waiting in the carriage! But..."

Beside the carriage, stood a group of servants wearing cloth clothes and caps, each of them looked very energetic, the leader was a middle-aged man in his 40s, when he saw Lin Ruhai and his party, he hurried up to greet him.

This person was called Lin Fu, and he was a manager of the Lin family. Because Lin Ruhai was transferred to the capital, he was sent here to arrange the affairs in advance so that the Lin family could settle down in the capital quickly.

Later, when the Jia family's incident happened, Lin Ruhai directly sent a letter asking him to take Lin Daiyu out and resettle him. So now, Lin Daiyu had already left the Jia's house and lived in the Lin family's house in the capital.

"Let's go back to the mansion first, what's the matter, we'll talk about it when we get back to the mansion!"

Noticing Lin Fu's hesitation to speak, Lin Ruhai calmed down, glanced at the carriage her daughter was sitting in, and wanted to go in to meet her daughter, but after thinking about it, she gave up on this idea.

He took his son and went to the carriage next to him. Lin Ruhai was about to get in when he suddenly heard a call from not far away. When he turned his head to look, he saw a red flower on his head, dressed very flamboyantly The young master brought a few servants and walked towards this side quickly.

"Jia Lian?"

Frowning slightly, Lin Ruhai asked with some uncertainty as he looked at this young man who was handsome but behaved like a playboy.

As for this wife's natal nephew, he only met once five years ago. After so many years, his memory has already become blurred. In addition, Jia Lian also changed a little bit from five years ago, so Lin Ruhai is inevitably a little embarrassed. allow.

"Uncle, it's my nephew. The old matriarch ordered my nephew to invite my uncle to Jia's mansion. A banquet has already been set up there, waiting to welcome uncle and cousin!"

Seeing his uncle, whom he hadn't seen for many years, looking at him with that kind of unfriendly eyes, Jia Lian secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, but he still had to pretend nothing had happened on his face, and even seemed a little closer in words.

In fact, if he were to say that his grandmother had already done such things, it was obviously impossible for the Lin Jia family to reconcile, and it would be nothing but self-inflicted humiliation if they made it so useless.

But helplessly, this Jia family has never had room for him to speak. When Jia's mother spoke, even if he was reluctant, he could only lick his face and invite him, even though he knew it was impossible.

"Have a banquet? A Hongmen banquet? Go back and tell my good mother-in-law, Lin Ruhai can't bear it!"

As soon as Jia Lian's words came out, Lin Ruhai's heart surged with anger, and this Jia's mother's brazenness was really beyond his imagination. The Lin and Jia families have already torn their faces, and they even sent someone to invite her. He is in the house.

Why do you want to hold a banquet to cleanse him up? Isn't this just a joke? If he really went, how would the next lawsuit be fought? The emperor might think that he didn't intend to pursue it.

"This is my cousin, he looks really good-looking! Uncle, don't refuse so quickly. Grandma knows that there are some misunderstandings between our two families. This time, I want to explain the misunderstanding clearly, so as not to It has affected the relationship between our two families..."

Facing Lin Ruhai's cold face, Jia Lian was helpless. He was not a person who would put a hot face on someone's cold ass, but Jia's mother's order was there. If he couldn't invite Lin Ruhai back, maybe What ugly words are waiting for him.

In order to save himself from suffering in the future, Jia Lian could only endure the unhappiness in his heart, and tried his best to persuade the other party, even to ease the atmosphere, he even praised Lin Qing who was standing aside.

Jia Lian couldn't say that he had a bad impression of the person who caused the dispute between the Lin and Jia families, but he couldn't say it was a good one either. It was more of a contemptuous mentality. After all, according to his understanding, this It's just a poor settled in the countryside.

It was entirely luck that he was chosen by his uncle to adopt him into the Lin family. With such a background, he was not the only one. Among the real family sons, there were few who valued him.

But this time, no matter how much he looked down on him, Jia Lian had to pinch his nose and boast a few more times, and try his best to express his kindness to Lin Ruhai, otherwise, looking at this posture, he was really afraid that he would be kicked out by then .

"..."

Standing beside Lin Ruhai, Lin Qing glanced at Jia Lian with a strange look in his eyes, and tried his best to suppress the curve of his lips that kept trying to be raised. Jia Lian didn't know what he ate to grow up, but he couldn't even praise others. I won't boast.

How old is he now? How can he be described as a handsome man? Do you think this is a blind date?

And this is not the point, the most important thing is that he was assassinated by someone sent by the Jia family just now, and if he is mentioned now, even if he is praising him, he wants to express his kindness hard, but in Lin Ruhai's view, that It's clearly a provocation.

"Misunderstanding, the facts are already there, what misunderstanding can there be! Okay, Jia Lian, there is no need to say anything superfluous, you tell Mrs. Jia that this matter, I will never let it go!"

Just as Lin Qing thought, it was good that Jia Lian didn't mention his son, but when he mentioned his son, Lin Ruhai's expression turned colder, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with Jia Lian anymore, so he just opened his mouth to kick him out.

I'm ashamed to mention Qing'er to him, if it wasn't for these things caused by the Jia family, they would have come to the capital to reunite with their daughter long ago, so there would be so many twists and turns.

"Uncle, why do you refuse to be so far away from others? Even for the sake of my cousin, you still have a chance for us to explain, isn't it, how difficult it is for your cousin to do it like this!"

His complexion changed. Hearing Lin Ruhai's words that were almost tearing his face, Jia Lian frowned and looked around. Then he glanced at the carriage where Lin Daiyu was riding.

Uncle Lin only has Daiyu as his own daughter. No matter how wrong they did this time, they are still Daiyu's relatives. Even if Lin Ruhai is angry because of the adopted son, he has to think about it Let's see how my daughter feels.

The small calculations in his heart made thunderbolts, and Jia Lian was still a little nervous at first, but now he has settled down. No wonder his grandmother was so calm, because she knew the trump card in her hand.

Sure enough, he is old and mature. It seems that he still has something to learn in the future, but thinking of the refined grandmother, the second wife is the one he prefers the most, and Jia Lian's heart becomes depressed again.

Although he is a dude, Jia Lian is not a fool to survive in such a chaotic Jia mansion until now, and he does not want to change from a dignified heir to the Rongguo mansion into a butler-like existence.

But in this day and age, a single word of filial piety can crush people to death. For the unkindness of the elders, at most it will be condemned by the outside world, but for the younger generation, if one dares to be unfilial, the consequences will be much more serious.

The court law has clear regulations, if the children are unfilial, if the parents and elders go to complain, as long as they verify it, it will be [-] years of responsibility, and they will be sent directly to the army, and the whole life will be completely ruined.

Didn't look at his bastard father, who has been suppressed by Jia Mu for decades, but there is nothing he can do about it. It is because of the suppression of filial piety in this era that his father dare not resist at all and can only endure it.

Fortunately, according to the court law, only the eldest son of the legitimate son can inherit the title. No one can change this. Jia Lian doesn't have to worry about his title, which will be given to her most beloved baby lump by Jia's mother.

But after so many years of waiting, even if Jia's mother is not dead, Jia Lian is a bit fed up, obviously he is the serious heir, but he has to come to Erfang Baoyu first for everything, since he was young, he didn't know why. How much wronged by this.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian looked at Lin Ruhai in a different way again. This matter was very difficult for Jia's mother, but for him, it might be a very good opportunity.
