After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Lin Ruhai didn't return the curse, because he wanted to make Jia Amnesty vent his anger.But Jia Amnesty felt like he had punched the cotton, not to mention how aggrieved, he simply turned his head and ignored him.

Lin Ruhai thought: Uncle should calm down, right?He takes such good care of Yu'er, I'm still a villain, and it's right to scold me a few more words.

But Jia Amnesty thought: You are self-sufficient and magnanimous, and I am just making trouble for no reason, you are a small belly!Well, Lin Ruhai, you are really insidious and cunning!

Lin Ruhai waited for a while to make sure that Jia She really didn't want to bury him, and presumably he had calmed down.While lamenting Jia Amnesty's large number of adults, he felt ashamed of being deceived by his mother-in-law for not checking his past.

"Brother..." Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward due to the simultaneous silence of the two, Lin Ruhai was about to say something to ease it, but Jia She suddenly got up.

"Hush!" Jia She made a "silence" gesture to him, walked to the door lightly, put his ear on the door, and listened intently.

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai didn't dare to speak up.

He is a purely civil official, he thinks he is not inferior to others in his thesis, but when it comes to martial arts, he is not as good as Jia She, a dude who came from a family of generals.However, he has self-knowledge, and he can still do it without adding chaos.

Jia She held his breath and listened carefully to the movement outside.

Those who came to assassinate Lin Ruhai have been led elsewhere.The fire that those people ignited temporarily was also extinguished.After about a cup of tea, there were the sound of scrambling footsteps from far to near.

Jia Amnesty wasn't sure who was coming, so he gestured to Lin Ruhai, signaling him to hide first, while he himself raised his foot, pulled out a short sword from his boots, and held it in his backhand.

Lin Ruhai didn't dare to neglect, looked left and right, and hid in the gap between the wardrobe and the bed.When most people search, they will first search the cabinet.Covered by bed curtains, the place where Lin Ruhai hid was considered hidden and not easy to be found.

After a while, the group of footsteps stopped not far from the door.Then, a person walked to the door alone and knocked on the door.

Jia Amnesty let out a long breath, turned his head and said, "Brother-in-law, he is one of my own." Then, he removed the latch and opened the door.

Lin Ruhai also came out from the gap, ripped off his clothes, and stepped forward to salute.

Jia Amnesty introduced: "Brother-in-law Lin, this is the sage's third-rank guard with a sword, Mr. Wu."

Lin Ruhai hurriedly said: "Mr. Lin, thank you Mr. Wu for saving your life."

"Master Lin, you don't need to be too polite," Master Wu hastily avoided, "Mr. Wu is only following the emperor's order, and Master Lin wants to thank the saint."

Lin Ruhai said: "The sage is kind, and the minister is grateful. But if Mr. Wu hadn't arrived in time, Lin would have confessed here today."

What he said was really sweet, Mr. Wu heard it in his ears, and immediately felt that this Mr. Lin is worthy of being a person who can sit in the position of patrolling the salt censor for five or six years. , A scholar who looks down on Wufu.

So, when Lin Ruhai thanked him again, he turned sideways and received a half-respect.At the same time, his favorability towards Lin Ruhai was already above the average.

After they had finished thanking them, Jia Amnesty asked, "Master Wu, have those people been resolved?"

Master Wu said: "The opponent has a few good fighters, but the brothers are not vegetarians. Most of them have already been killed, leaving two bosses alive."

At this time, Lin Ruhai suddenly said: "Lin has something to say, don't know if he should say it or not?"

Master Wu has a good impression of Lin Ruhai, so he should say: "Master Lin, please tell me."

Lin Ruhai said: "Let's understand that people don't speak dark words. Everyone here knows who sent the guy who came to attack Lin."

Lord Wu and Jia Amnesty looked at each other and nodded.Master Wu said: "What does Master Lin mean?"

Lin Ruhai asked back: "Master Wu thinks that if these two survivors are brought back, the sage will not be tried? If they are interrogated, they will not be able to stand the punishment and recruit the people behind the scenes. How will the sage deal with it?"

"This..." Master Wu hesitated for a moment, his face showed a look of surprise, and he clasped his fists gratefully at Lin Ruhai, "Thank you, Master Lin, for your reminder."

Then, he recruited one of his subordinates and ordered: "There is no need to keep those two alive. Remember to do it cleanly."

This means that people should not see that those two people were killed after being captured.Make it look like they were in a fight and killed on the spot.

That subordinate is Master Wu's confidant, he understood Shangfeng's meaning very well, and did it neatly.

Jia She said: "Let's advance to the city."

So, Lin Ruhai went under the bed, took out the bag he had hidden, and followed Master Wu and Jia She into the capital.

It was already late at night, and the palace gate had already been opened, so it was obviously impossible to see the saint.The Rongguo Mansion didn't pay much attention, but Lin Ruhai came to Beijing as a foreign minister, and he argued on his own. Before seeing the saint, he couldn't even go back to his own home, let alone live with relatives.

In the end, Master Wu led him to an inn to stay.Jia Amnesty was afraid that something would happen to him again, so he stayed with him in the inn.

The next day, Lin Ruhai burned incense, took a bath, and changed clothes early in the morning, waiting for the saint to be summoned.But it was not until the afternoon that he waited for the saint's call.But Jia Amnesty waited until Lin Ruhai left with the eunuch before going home to wash up, changed into court clothes, and entered the palace to face the saint.

It is estimated that Master Wu spoke good words for Lin Ruhai in front of the saint, and the saint treated him kindly.After Lin Ruhai presented the materials on the Jiangnan officialdom and the black materials of the old sage's officials, the sage never mentioned his self-defense, as if Lin Ruhai was called to Beijing just to let him report on his duties.

Seeing that this hurdle has passed, Lin Ruhai will not bring it up ignorantly.The saint said some words of encouragement to him, and Lin Ruhai expressed his gratitude and heartfelt cooperation.A business exchange, everyone is happy.

The meaning of the saint is that he hopes that Lin Ruhai will continue to be the censor of salt inspection, and cooperate with the saint's people to completely take back the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River.

Lin Ruhai is now in a difficult position to ride a tiger, so he naturally agreed and went all the way to the dark.

It's just that his body has been exhausted for a long time, and many doctors have concluded that he won't live for a few years.And the only thing he worries about is his daughter Daiyu.

Simply the saint is very satisfied with what he offered, as well as his attitude.Therefore, after Lin Ruhai implicitly expressed his concerns, the saint said: You don't have to worry about Ling Ai, I will take good care of her.

Thus, Lin Ruhai's last worry was gone.

After Jia She entered the palace and the saint asked some details about last night, he sent the two of them out of the palace.

"Sister-in-law Lin, should I go back to my home first, or go to pay my respects to the old lady first?" Jia She asked when he reached the gate of the palace.

Is this still an option?Lin Ruhai hadn't seen her daughter for a long time, so naturally she had to go to greet the old lady first.

"I'm with my uncle."

"Then please."

******

Because Jia Amnesty first sent someone to the mansion to spread the word, Daiyu was invited by Jia Mu to Chunxi Hall early in the morning. While talking with her grandmother, she waited nervously and expectantly for her father.

Baoyu has been huddling beside Daiyu, talking about this and that, but Daiyu is obviously absent-minded.Seeing this, Mother Jia was slightly dissatisfied, but thinking about Lin Ruhai, she didn't say much.

Yuan Chun sat at the head of the sisters, watching Baoyu put his hot face against his cold buttocks. She, who had always loved Baoyu, had no intention of helping her at all.

Yuan Chun understood the old ancestor's thoughts, and understood that it was the best choice for Baoyu.

But knowing it is clear, but I don't agree.

Because Yuan Chun was too aware of his mother's attitude towards his aunt.As the aunt's daughter, Cousin Daiyu's status in the mother's heart can be imagined.

Although there is an old ancestor, the mother dare not embarrass the cousin too much, but to put it disrespectfully, how many more years can the old ancestor live?If the ancestors go, the cousin falls into the hands of the mother...

She couldn't believe what would happen to her cousin.

When my aunt was at home, it was not unreasonable to take care of her. Yuan Chun really couldn't bear to see her aunt's only flesh and blood come to an end.

Even if these things are not mentioned, whether Uncle Lin likes Baoyu or not is still two things to say.During the period of returning home, Yuan Chun had a deep understanding of Baoyu today.

To be precise, Baoyu was the same as she remembered, with the same temperament.

But if he likes pretty maids, likes to eat the rouge on the maids' lips, he can be regarded as eccentric when he was a child, but after he grows up... that is greedy and lustful.

Yuan Chun asked herself, if she could choose, she would not be willing to marry such a lustful husband.

While thinking wildly, a maid raised the curtain, accompanied by the sound of an announcement: "Master and Uncle Lin are here."

Daiyu leaned forward excitedly, her eyes fixed on the door.The rest of the people also stopped talking, waiting for the two to come in.

Not long after, Jia Amnesty led Lin Ruhai into the house, and together they met Jia's mother:

"My son greets his mother."

"My son-in-law pays his respects to his mother-in-law."

Jia Mu was very excited: "Okay, okay, get up, get up."

"Thank you mother."

"Thank you mother-in-law."

Mother Jia beckoned Daiyu to come over: "Come on, Yu'er, come and meet your father."

Daiyu stepped forward and said tearfully, "My daughter pays her respects to her father. It is extremely unfilial for a daughter not to respect him and serve him!"

"My son, please get up quickly." Lin Ruhai hurriedly supported her, looked her up and down, and felt that her daughter had lost weight again, and her heart ached.

Daiyu asked, "Father, how is your journey?"

Lin Ruhai said: "I took the waterway, and the whole journey was calm and safe."

Daiyu repeatedly said: "That's good, that's good."

The father and daughter were talking, when Jia Zheng's young man asked to see him outside the door.Mother Jia called in to ask, and the boy said, "The second master heard that Mrs. Lin is coming, so he invited Mrs. Lin to the study."

Lin Ruhai paused, secretly wanting to have a few more words with his daughter, but Jia Zheng asked someone to invite him, and he couldn't help but go.

"Mother-in-law, since the second brother-in-law is affectionate, the son-in-law will leave for the time being."

Jia's mother was very happy to let Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng get close, and said cheerfully: "Go, go, you brothers, you must support each other."

Lin Ruhai lowered his head and replied, "Mother-in-law taught that." But only he knew what he was thinking.

Jia She on the side laughed secretly, thinking: The second child is still blind as always.Also support each other?Brother-in-law Lin is probably going to annoy him to death now!
