Qinglian in the Red Chamber

On this day, Jia She was not on duty.

Early in the morning, Jia Amnesty practiced boxing for a while before returning to his room to freshen up and get ready for breakfast.

"Master is here."

As soon as the words fell, the door curtain made of Xiangfei bamboo was lifted.

Jia Hu and Lin Han walked in, one in front and one behind.

"Greetings to father (uncle)."

Jia She said "Yes", and said to Lin Han: "It's getting hot today, if Brother Han is impatient, I'll ask your aunt to prepare an ice basin for you in advance."

"Uncle Lao is worried. I'm a person who can't tolerate heat or cold. I feel fine today. If it's in Yangzhou, it will be much hotter than Beijing." Lin Han smiled. talking.

The Lin family is rather strange, all of them are heat-resistant and not cold-resistant.

Lin Han's health has always been very good, and he rarely has a headache every year.But he has such a physique that is resistant to heat and not cold, so that if people know about it, they will say "this child is weak in bones".In addition, the men of the Lin family are all slender and slender, and there are few burly ones.Lin Han also started to practice martial arts and fitness since he was a child. He only wanted to build some muscles so that he would not look so weak.It's a pity that he is still slender now, but he only grows tall but not fat, which makes Lin Han feel regretful.

"Brother Han is a bit weaker after all."

What Jia She said made Lin Han want to hit his head against the wall, which was really annoying.

The three of them had breakfast together.

Lin Han held his breath and ate hard.

Jia Amnesty looked at it and was suspicious at first, this kid looked strange and could eat, but why is his body so weak?Another thought, this kid should not eat too much right now, he will have a stomach ache after accumulating food, he must ask someone to prepare some pills for digestion...

Jia Hu pursed her lips, secretly amused herself.He knows Lin Han's little knot.This was what Lin Han himself told Jia Hu as a joke a few days ago.

Jia Hu secretly laughed inwardly, thinking about what his father said just now.But it hit Cousin Lin's lung tube.This kid is probably out of breath now, if he eats like this, he will have to walk all over the garden to digest his food later, hehe...

After breakfast, the three of them ate tea again.

Just as Jia Amnesty was about to send the two brothers to pay respects to Jia Mu, a servant girl came outside to report: "The Lin family is here, and I need to find Master Biao."

"Brother Han, let's go and meet him first," Jia Amnesty said.

Jia Hu nodded and said, "Grandmother, I'll go and talk to you first."

Lin Han said "OK", then stood up and bowed his hands to Jia She and Jia Hu.I went back to the Jingyi courtyard to meet the people from the Lin family.

"Lin Fu greets the uncle."

In Jingyi courtyard.As soon as Lin Fu saw Lin Han, he touched the ground on one knee.Say hello to Lin Han.

"Get up. But what's the matter with the second housekeeper?" Lin Han called out, looking for a chair and sitting down.

"If you go back to the uncle, it was the second housekeeper who sent the servant to report to the uncle. The master has arrived in the capital." Lin Fu replied respectfully with his hands down.

Lin Han heard it.He almost jumped up from the chair, and asked in a loud voice: "Father has arrived in the capital? Didn't he plan to come back in August? It's only mid-June, why did father come back? Since father is back, What about the mother and younger sister? But they came back together?..."

Lin Fu answered one question after another: "I heard that the master returned to Beijing by order. The official ship arrived at the land and water wharf this morning, but the master has already disembarked at the Tonghui Wharf, and then he thought about leaving. He went to Beijing by dry road. At this time, the old man should have already entered the palace. Speaking of which, it happened very suddenly. It is said that there are still many things that have not been done in Yangzhou, so the wife said This time I didn’t come back with the master. There is also the eldest lady. I think I will wait to return to the capital with my wife.”

When Lin Han heard that Lin Ruhai had returned, he couldn't help but feel a little excited, and walked back and forth in the room eagerly.Lin Han murmured in his heart that fortunately, his Tanhua father did not die in office as in the book.Really.Very good!

"The second steward asked the slave to come and inform the uncle. Since the master is back, the uncle should also stay at home." Lin Fu finally explained his purpose of coming.

"Yes! Now that my father is back, I naturally can't continue to live in my uncle's house." Lin Han said in a good mood, and then told his two close servants: "Lin Ping, Lin An, hurry up!" Pack up our things. I’ll go talk to my grandmother, uncles, aunts, and cousins ​​first, and then we’ll go home.”

"Yes, sir."

Lin Han walked briskly all the way to Cihui Courtyard.

There is actually nothing wrong with living in Jia's mansion, but Lin Han misses his Tanhua father all the time, for fear that he will not escape the fate in the book and die in the office of Yanzheng Yushi.Moreover, this is not his own home after all. How Lin Han liked to live in other people's homes in his two lifetimes, this made him somewhat feel bad about being dependent on others.

In Jia Mu's room, Jia Hu greeted Jia Mu first, and then told Jia Mu that the Lin family came to find Lin Han.

Jia Mu only said it's okay.

Jia Hu talked with Jia Mu for a while, and then went to the Imperial Academy to be on duty.

As soon as Jia Hu left on his front foot, Lin Han came on his back foot.

"Someone is coming from home, but what's the matter? If there is something difficult to deal with, you can just go to your uncle and aunt, don't talk outside." Jia Mu smiled and pulled Lin Han to her side, and rubbed him After a while, Fang said.

Lin Han is in a very good mood now.In the past, Jia Mu's caressing would give him goosebumps all over his body, but today, because he is in a good mood, he finds it less difficult to accept than before.

"My grandson is about to tell my grandmother that my father has already arrived in the capital today. The person who came just now was sent by the second housekeeper to deliver a letter to me."

Mother Jia was overjoyed when she heard that, since Uncle Lin is back, wouldn't she be able to see her Min'er again?

"It's kind of nice. Where's your father?"

"The second housekeeper said that my father has the emperor's life, so he should have gone to the palace to see the Lord Long Live." After finishing speaking, Lin Han told Jiamu carefully what Lin Fu said.

"Well, it should be so." Jia Mu patted Lin Han's hand and said. "In the end, the emperor's errand is important."

"Since my father has come to Kyoto, my grandson is going home too."

Mother Jia was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Well, it should be so. You can go home first. When you are free in the future, come and see grandma."

"The grandson knows."

"You should also go and tell your uncle and aunt. Your eldest cousin has already gone to the Hanlin Academy, and you can get together some other day."

Lin Han nodded yes, and said: "Second cousin, please ask grandma to send someone to help grandson. I don't know how he is doing now? Since the second uncle has something to say, grandson is not good. to bother."

Mother Jia nodded in agreement.

Thinking of Jia Baoyu again at this moment, the old lady couldn't help sighing.

Ugh--!

That gem——!

Speaking of which, Jia Baoyu was imprisoned by Shuntian Mansion for a few days because of his misbehavior and insulting the royal family.Afterwards, because Long Live Lord remembered that Jia's mother had nursed him back then.So only [-] boards were played against Jia Baoyu.To serve as a warning to others.but.There is also a saying about this plank.Whether the board is played lightly or heavily is all in the hands of the guards who are responsible for playing the board.Moreover, each of these people has a set of unique skills for beating people.It is said that these guards practice this method of beating people by placing a piece of tofu on the ground.Take a small board and hit it, only there must be noise, and no breakage is allowed.After beating, the tofu inside was completely rotten, and the outside was still a square piece, not moving at all.Those who can practice this hand well are the number one masters at the board.So these twenty boards can make people live or kill people, depending on the wishes of the superiors.

Fifth elder brother is the eldest brother of ninth elder brother.Now I am learning to do business in the Ministry of Criminal Justice.Thinking of his little brother being teased like an actor, he was so annoyed that he wanted to kill Jia Baoyu directly to vent his anger on his little brother.It's a pity that Huang Ama only intends to play [-] boards to make an example, and the fifth elder brother is very upset about this.Someone in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs speculated about the fifth elder brother's intentions, and thought that the ninth elder brother was the most important brother of the prince.So I told the fifth elder brother all the tricks in this board.

The fifth elder brother listened, but remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.However, the guards in charge of playing the board are all good at judging people's faces. They speculated on the fifth elder brother's intentions, and weighed the will of the Long Live Lord, and finally decided that Jia Baoyu could not be beaten to death, but he had to give it to him. His one memorable lesson is serious.

Later, although Jia Zheng used money, Jia Baoyu suffered a lot.After those [-] boards, Jia Baoyu was still breathing. Although the bones were not injured, the flesh was actually smashed to pieces.

As long as Kangxi knew that Jia Baoyu hadn't been beaten to death, he would just turn a blind eye and let the rest go.

Jia Baoyu's bloody appearance broke Jia Mu's old heart.

The old lady didn't care what her eldest son and daughter-in-law thought, and directly asked someone to place Jia Baoyu in her own Cihui courtyard, where she would take care of her wounds.The soup and water are delicious, and there are a large group of juicy maids around to wait on it. After three months of raising Jia Baoyu, he is finally able to walk around in the ground.

"You monkey, you have suffered such a catastrophe, please take back your temper." Jiamu said with a sigh while wiping away her tears with a silk cloth.

"Hey, you have registered in front of the Long Live Lord now. If you win the imperial examination in the future, you will miss your official career..."

"Old ancestor..." Jia Baoyu didn't like to listen to these economic and official career words when he was used to it, so he acted like a baby to Jiamu for a while, hoping that Jiamu would forget about these imperial examinations. "Second sister, third sister, why didn't fourth sister come to see me? And sister Yun? Grandson misses them..."

"Alas—" Mother Jia sighed heavily, thinking about Lin Han who lived in Jingyi Courtyard who never forgot to study hard every day, and then looking at Jia Baoyu who was rolling in her arms and only knew her sisters and sisters, the old lady couldn't help it. I complained that Mrs. Wang can't teach children.

One day, when Jia Zheng came to pay his respects to Jia Mu, he happened to see Jia Baoyu's scoundrel who had healed his scar and forgot the pain.

Originally, when Jia Baoyu was lying on the bed and humming, Jia Zheng was actually worried about his son's injury and angry at his son's ignorance.

Seeing Jia Baoyu smirking like nothing had happened now, Jia Zheng was left with boundless anger.In addition, his life in the Ministry of Industry is becoming more and more difficult, as if someone above him looks at him as if he is not pleasing to the eye.I was refuted by the head of the errands I did several times, and was called by the fourth elder brother to scold me head-on and face-to-face.

The current Jia Zheng is similar to that barrel of explosives filled with gunpowder, which can blow up the sky when it sees sparks.

Jia Baoyu wanted to play with Yingchun Xichun, and when he passed the garden, he met Xiren Muskyue who had served him once before.The two maids both had tears in their eyes, and I felt pity for them.Jia Baoyu couldn't see his daughter's tears the most. Seeing the appearance of the two maidservants, he quickly comforted him: "If I am lucky at this time, I will die while you are all in front of me. You cry my tears, flow into a big river, float my dead body, send it to a secluded place where no birds can reach it, let it melt away with the weather, and never ask you to be a human again, this is the right time for me to die.”

Jia Baoyu's heartfelt words made Xiren Sheyue cry until his heart broke, and he also succeeded in making Jia Zheng, who was following behind him, break the string called "reason" in his head, and immediately became furious.

"You bastard!"

Jia Zheng yelled, scaring Jia Baoyu half of his life.

Xiren Muskyue and the other two were also pale, looking like they were on the verge of falling.

Jia Zheng couldn't care about others at this time, grabbed Jia Baoyu and dragged him back to his home.

When Jia's mother got the news and rushed over, Jia Baoyu had already been cleaned up by Jia Zheng and was only half breathed.

"You only have such a son left, even if he is good or bad, he can't be so cruel..." Mother Jia said tremblingly, but the old lady didn't say the classic "You'll kill him first." I, if I beat him to death again, it will be clean."However, the old man couldn't bear to have his grandson beaten so horribly.Look at this body, there is not even half a piece of good meat...

"This scoundrel doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth at all, and what he said is a jerk. He is so outspoken. If the son doesn't teach him a lesson at this time, are we going to wait for him to go to Shuntian Mansion's prison again?" Jia Zheng knelt down. On the ground, weeping uncontrollably, "Mother doesn't know what this evil person said, so my son can't even say it. You really are a lustful ghost who doesn't know anything!"

In the end, Mother Jia couldn't stop Jia Zheng from teaching Jia Baoyu.

As a result, Jia Baoyu raised him again, but the treatment was not as good as when he was in Cihui Courtyard.There are no maids to serve, just a cigarette.

No matter how Mrs. Wang cried about Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun, Jia Zheng didn't soften his heart any more.

Waiting for Jia Baoyu to sit up a little bit, Jia Zheng gave him homework.If Jia Baoyu couldn't finish or didn't do well, he would be punished by Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng also issued a death order, and Jia Baoyu was never allowed to go out again, and he was only detained at home to study.

Not long after this, Jia Baoyu's small round face turned into a small oval face, and his haggard appearance really made Mrs. Wang almost go blind from crying.
