[Comprehensive martial arts] I fall into the city

In mid-June of the 17th year of Chenghua, Zhang Zan, governor of water transportation, died in office. After the cabinet deliberations, the emperor appointed Lin Ruhai, a senior official of Lantai Temple, to move him to the post, and immediately rushed to Jianghuai to take office.

It's a coincidence that after Lin Ruhai sent her daughter to Beijing, her health went from bad to worse. It took a year or two, but at this time there was a murder in Jinling, and none of the four major families was spared. Lin Ruhai became seriously ill after thinking about it Once, when I was half asleep and half awake, I heard a monk or Taoist outside the door who seemed to be insane, saying that he should have died in the next year, but he was burdened by his daughter and had to work for another year.

Lin Ruhai remembered this monk and one. When Daiyu was only three years old, these two people had been here before. When Daiyu was about to become a monk, seeing that they should come again, he immediately got up and cursed: "You are gone when you become a monk. Human relations? Which family's flesh and blood were not raised by their own? Why should they be melted away by you?"

The monk was not angry at all, he just looked at each other and sighed: "It's hard for idiots in the world of mortals, that's all."

Then he went.

When Lin Ruhai woke up, he heard someone report that Daiyu had returned, and his head, which had been so ill for several days, suddenly woke up, and he was able to sit up from the bed by himself. Why are the two still lying on the bed when they are awake?

Ask the left and right again, and they all only say that the master was talking in a dream just now, and he never got up, let alone a monk or Taoist.

Lin Ruhai broke out in a cold sweat, thinking about what he had said after working so hard, he didn't know if he was delusional, or if he really had this adventure.

It's just that since that day, his body has become better and better day by day.

When Daiyu came back, she brought two girls from Jia's family, one named Yingchun and the other named Xichun. It is said that there was another young lady, but she refused to leave Beijing and wanted to do her filial piety in front of her grandmother, so she didn't come with her. After the people got off, another big ship docked, but only one master came down, that is Jia Baoyu, the second son of the Jia family.

Lin Ruhai had never seen the nephew born with a jade title that his wife often mentioned, but just because he looked good, he asked what book he was reading, but seeing the young boy hesitating for a long time, he only whispered: "Read To Four Books."

Lin Ruhai saw that Baoyu was quite close to his father-in-law, so he asked again: "Have you learned the art of riding and archery?"

Baoyu still shook his head.

Lin Ruhai asked again: "Did you learn leisure skills?"

With the imperial examinations in power, it is rare for aristocratic families to thoroughly practice the six arts of a gentleman, and even rites, music, and royal numbers have been classified as leisure arts. Lin Ruhai doesn't think that a man must rely on imperial examinations to make a living, and some leisure arts are also very good .

Baoyu blushed and shook her head again.

Lin Ruhai understood that this son of the Jia family knew nothing.

It doesn't matter, after all, he is only ten years old, and he will always show up if he is taught slowly. Lin Ruhai comforted him a few words, and then asked someone to clean up his place.

After all, Baoyu was raised by the old lady's side when he was at home, and there were no less than ten maids, but when he arrived in Yangzhou, except for the four big maids who came with Xiren Qingwen, Sheyue Qiuwen, Lin's family didn't give him half of them. In addition, the residence is not good, it is just a small courtyard, he lives in the upper room, and the four big maids have to live in one room, because the lower room is for storing sundries, and even a window is closed. No.

Not only that, Lin Ruhai didn't notice that he brought a maid with him at first, but when he heard him call the maid's name, she frowned, saying that the maid's name was too gorgeous and not dignified enough, so she changed Xiren back to Pearl and Qingwen to Zhiqing, musk moon is called Jiyue, and autumn pattern is called Huaqiu.

As soon as Baoyu returned to the house, she was so angry that she burst into tears.

Yingchun and Xichun live together. Yangzhou's mansion is not like the capital city, and most of the boudoir girls live in the building. Lin Ruhai is only 50 years old and only has one daughter, Daiyu. Everything in the mansion is very good. Everywhere is exquisite, and the girls from other families are not treated badly, but there is really no better place in the mansion, so they can only settle for the next best thing, and arrange them in the small building where his wife used to live.

Yingchun Zilai is weak and silent, she didn't live very well when she was with the old lady, she didn't say anything, while Xichun didn't care about everything, but she also calmed down.

When summer came, the Lin family was not happy to use ice. At most, they soaked some fruits in the well water to relieve the heat. Baoyu ordered his servants to buy ice. The servants turned around and told Lin Ruhai's ears. Lin Ruhai didn't say anything. I sent ice basins to Baoyu and the two girls in Jia's house, but Daiyu was not allowed to go to the room where the ice was used.

When Baoyu heard this, he was inevitably stunned again. He only felt that this uncle was targeting him everywhere.

However, this is not over. In the middle of July, the promotion order of the imperial court was issued. Lin Ruhai wanted to be promoted, and he had to move to Jianghuai. Yangzhou is not far from Jianghuai. If his wife was still there, he would naturally be able to take up the post alone, but now the family is full of children. , he had no choice but to take several children to Jianghuai together.

The Governor's Mansion of Water Transport was built in Huai'an. Because of the convenient water transport, the population is large, and all kinds of industries are prosperous. Yangzhou is elegant and extravagant, while Huai'an is full of copper coins.

Even if Lin Ruhai sold the house in Yangzhou, he still couldn’t afford to buy the house in Huai’an. Even if there were merchants who tried to give him the house when he took office, he refused. Therefore, after taking office, only the official residence is available. .

Baoyu didn't even have a courtyard anymore, and the four maids couldn't live with him, so he had to leave one person to sleep on the outer couch every night, and the rest lived with the maids of Lin's residence.

Baoyu cried bitterly, and wrote a letter to the capital with tears in his eyes, wanting to go home, no matter how poor the family was, he didn't want to live with this uncle who targeted him everywhere.

However, the old lady who always loved him burned the letter, shedding tears as if she hadn't seen it.

The two masters of the Jia family were exiled, exiled into the army, and the broken ship still had three catties of nails. It's not that they couldn't afford to support the children. The old lady let Baoyu go because of the marriage of a pair of jade children, and also for the protection of Baoyu in the future. Back then, Lin Ruhai's fatherly heart was exactly the same.

Before Jia's family replied, Baoyu gradually gave up. Lin Ruhai asked him to read, but he forgot as much as he read, and didn't take it to heart. Playing around with the maid, Lin Ruhai wrote a letter to Jia's family with a thought of teaching, and not long after, Xiren Qingwen and the others were taken back by the people of Jia's house.

Baoyu smashed things for half the night, cried and screamed, and fell ill for a few days, but no one in the Lin family took care of him, so he invited a doctor to take the medicine according to the prescription, and gradually he recovered.

Apart from still refusing to learn, at least she's not too squeamish.

After all, coquettishness is something for others to see.

In August, Wang Ziteng died of a sudden illness at home. According to his inspection, he died of a sudden heart attack. Wang Ziteng had only one son, Wang Ren. He used to be a well-known dude in the capital. So he came up with the idea of ​​staying at home with his aunt's family.

At this time, women did not have the right to inherit the family business. After Xue Pan died, the branches of the Xue family who were still in Jinling were also investigated one after another. In fact, the Xue family had a very close relative, but the other party was quite talkative and did not take Xue back. The meaning of the property in the hands of the mother and daughter, and the fact that Wang Ziteng was not dead at the time, the mother and daughter of the Xue family were able to leave Jia's mansion and live in the palace.

Wang Ren knew that Xue's family had been in business for generations and had a lot of property. Although Xue Pan's death suffered a little loss, his cousin was actually a female middle school Zhuge, who managed the books with one hand and did a good job. Naturally it should be his.

Mrs. Xue didn't have a deep affection for her nephew at first, but after Xue Pan's death, Wang Ren often came to greet him, and she gradually put her affection on her nephew. When she heard that Wang Ren was going to divorce his wife and marry Baochai, she Her thoughts immediately moved, but she was somewhat sober after all, and said hesitantly: "Baochai is too young, not to mention that you want to divorce your wife and remarry her, she has always been high-minded..."

Wang Ren smiled and said: "Auntie, don't worry, I think my cousin just doesn't like to talk, so why don't you look down on me, so my father went, and Bai Ri Xiao Li simply made this marriage first, and then we will get married after three years , she was not young at that time. I just feel sorry for my aunt and my cousin, who belonged to two women's families, and holding such a family business. If it was entrusted to someone else, wouldn't it ruin my cousin's life? My aunt knows that , I have always been the only one who is in charge of me, so how can I be in charge of others.”

What he said is very reasonable. In today's world, unless you hire a wife, there will be no descendants in the family, and the family business will all belong to others. It's good for my son-in-law to have a conscience. Ling, how can one's own family rest assured.

Mrs. Xue felt relieved, and Wang Ren immediately said sweetly, he came prepared, with the marriage certificate in his arms, and after a while, Mrs. Xue pressed her finger prints on it.

When Baochai came back from keeping accounts at night, when she heard about this, her eyes went dark for a while, her mother couldn't see people clearly, how could she not see people clearly?When she lived in Jia's house, she didn't even look up to Baoyu, let alone Wang Ren!What's more, Wang Ren is going to be engaged to her at this time. Doesn't she understand what his intentions are?The more relatives you are, the more you can bite off the flesh!

Baochai took a deep breath and asked Mrs. Xue to get the marriage certificate back immediately. After persuading her in the middle of the night, Mrs. Xue let go, but when she went to ask for the marriage certificate the next day, Wang Ren said that he had already divorced his wife. When he confessed, he had no choice but to go to court with him.

Mrs. Xue didn't understand when she saw that he was arrogant and condescending. She could feel her daughter's mood yesterday, her eyes went dark, and she didn't know how she got back in the end.

When she had told Wang Renyuan what Baochai had said, Baochai was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Then go to court!"

Mrs. Xue said anxiously: "He is a shameless big man, how many gossips will you get when a girl's family goes to court?"

Baochai said coldly: "He wants to take my family business, so I have no choice but to show my face. If you still miss this mother-daughter relationship, mother, let me go."
