The Red Mansion's Late Welcome Spring

Because Jia Yingchun has been away from her previous life for some time, now she can only remember the major events in the Dream of Red Mansions in a patchwork prototype, not to mention that she has never had the slightest political ability. Thousands of times, still blind, not to mention seventy percent transparent, not even three percent bright.

Just because he didn't know, Jia Yingchun never guessed that when Lin Ruhai was assigned to the Yangzhou Salt Administration, he was indeed ordered to secretly collect evidence of criminals in the south of the Yangtze River, especially the every move of the Zhen family there.

The degree of dominance of the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River is several points higher than that of the four families of Jinling, and there are Concubine Zhen and the First Prince in the palace as their reliance. Feeling overwhelmed now, if everything has to be done slowly, the emperor would really like to send someone to copy the Zhen family directly.

The emperor would choose Lin Ruhai, who had some relationship with the four great families and was noble for generations, to do such an important thing. Naturally, it was because he believed that Lin Ruhai was extremely loyal to him, or it could be said that the Lin family was only loyal to the person sitting in that position. Such a person does not have to worry about who he will be partial to because of his own selfishness.

The reason why Lin Ruhai didn't worry about the emperor sending him to the south this time when he came to Beijing to report on his duties was that the things that should be checked had already been checked, and many relevant evidences had been sent in by the secret guards sent by the emperor. The capital was directly submitted to the emperor's imperial case.

However, other people may not know what the monarch and ministers know, so after Lin Ruhai and Lin Heng set off from Yangzhou, the journey back to Suzhou or from Suzhou to the capital was still not very smooth. , there will always be a few thieves who climbed the wall in the middle of the night and secretly rummaged through their luggage. They don't know what they are looking for. Although they didn't hurt anyone, they frightened Lin Heng, who didn't know the danger of the court. It's scary enough.

Fortunately, the emperor had a conscience. He knew that Lin Ruhai's journey might not be very safe, so he still sent a few secret guards to protect the father and son. Otherwise, who knows if Lin Daiyu will have a chance to serve his father?

After traveling for more than a month, Lin Ruhai and his son arrived in the capital at the beginning of March. The person who came to pick them up was Lin Quan who had gone to Beijing earlier to tidy up the old house of the Lin family. A carriage was waiting for them at the pier early.

When the boat arrived, Lin Quan strode forward to salute Lin Ruhai and Lin Heng as soon as they stepped out of the plank, and said respectfully: "Master, sir, it's been a hard journey, let's go back to the mansion first, I have ordered people Prepare the soup, and you can wash up and rest as soon as you get back."

"You send the uncle back, I have to go to the palace to meet the saint, and I can go back after seeing the emperor." When Lin Ruhai arrived in the capital, he naturally had to go to the palace first, even though he knew the emperor knew how difficult his journey was. Don't dare to relax easily.

"Yes." Lin Quan knew the rules, so he didn't say much, he just called two smart servants and told them to follow Lin Ruhai to the gate of the palace, and wait there for Lin Ruhai to leave the palace and return home.

As soon as Lin Ruhai arrived outside the palace gate, there was already a servant waiting there who had received the news, and when he saw someone, he politely took him to the imperial study room to meet the emperor. What happened, except for the emperor's confidantes, only two parties know about it. Although some people are curious to find out, but at present, no one seems to have the courage to put their hands on the emperor's territory, even the most beloved harem The concubine didn't dare to inquire about the affairs of the previous dynasty at will, so the interested person only inquired that when Lin Ruhai came out, he left briskly with a smile on his face as if he had relieved a heavy burden.

The evidence collected by Lin Ruhai in the Jiangnan area was brought back by the hidden guards sent by the emperor. Those people who got the news but had no way to do it followed Lin Ruhai's whereabouts all the way, trying to steal the evidence. They didn't dare to attack the court officials without any definite information. Now that Lin Ruhai has entered the capital, it seems like a loser if he wants to do anything else.

Since this road is blocked, it is natural to find a second way out. However, no one in the Lin family has lived in Beijing for many years. Now the Lin family does not have any other serious masters except Lin Ruhai and the heir he just recognized. Right now, I want to inquire about the Lin family It was not an easy task. Many people only found out after a few days of inquiring that Lin Ruhai had an only daughter, and she was currently living in Rongguo's mansion.

So before Lin Ruhai came to visit, the Rongguo Mansion received a bunch of gifts from various houses inexplicably, and they all secretly pointed out that they were for the girls of the Lin family. Seeing this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help feeling angry She climbed up a lot, thinking that her eldest girl has been in the palace for many years, and she has never received such treatment. How can a little girl with no power and power be treated more courteously than her?

While cursing Lin Daiyu, Mrs. Wang took more than half of those gifts into her private room. When Wang Xifeng found out, she didn't dare to ask for it back. Hurry up and send it to Feixue Pavilion.

"I've never seen such a shallow-sighted person who dares to snatch something that was given to Sister Lin? Even if she is an elder, she is not afraid to be ashamed!" After Wang Xifeng told the story angrily, she couldn't help it. Stop cursing.

"If you grab it, you'll grab it, and we can't say anything, just look at the way those families are eagerly giving gifts, I'm afraid Mrs. Lin has returned to Beijing, right? Didn't sister-in-law hear the news?" Jia Yingchun commented Asked about the gifts from those people.

"Didn't you come back? The second master just went to the master's place. He probably wanted to ask whether we should pay a visit first, or wait for Master Lin to come over." Wang Xifeng replied with a weak sigh.

"How can this kind of thing be treated as a single case? If Master Lin came to visit, it was because he respected the old lady as an elder, so he had to come to pay his respects to the old lady, but the second brother is planning to work under Master Lin in the future. As a junior, naturally, I should take the initiative to pay my respects first." Jia Yingchun shook her head and explained slowly.

"If father returns to Beijing, can I go home too? Second sister, do you think the old lady will..." Lin Daiyu thought that during this time, her grandmother would keep her in the room every day to talk, except In addition to the annoying second brother Bao who has been pestering her, the grandmother always said intentionally or unintentionally how bad the brother she hadn't met was, telling her not to trust an unrelated outsider too much.

"Master Lin will definitely not keep you here. You and Master Lin have not seen each other for several years? It is absolutely impossible for her to lose her tongue at this time, but it is also impossible for her to stop here. I would like to persuade you You can't be soft-hearted when you shouldn't be soft-hearted. You are just her granddaughter. If you want to be filial or something, there are grandchildren like us. If she really cares about you, she can't use that kind of words to force you to enter the house again. Stay here." Jia Yingchun persuaded further.

Jia Yingchun knew that Jia's mother could use only those means to Lin Daiyu, but those excuses were those that the kind and filial Lin Daiyu dared not violate, so she didn't mind being a bad person again, and frankly destroyed those who Jia's mother might have in the future. Will tell lies.

"Second sister's words are reasonable. How can there be grandchildren in their own family who don't rely on them, but ask their granddaughters to be filial? Doesn't this make us juniors bear the name of unfilial piety? Second master will still want to be an official in the future. If With such a reputation, how would the people above dare to use him again?" Wang Xifeng also echoed in a quick voice.

"But..." Lin Daiyu still hesitated in her heart, but rationally understood that what Wang Xifeng and Jia Yingchun's sister-in-law said was correct, and because there was nothing to refute, this topic was suddenly interrupted.

Mother Jia was not ignorant from the beginning. According to the original route, she sent someone to bring Lin Daiyu to Beijing. After staying in the Duke's Mansion, Jia's mother seemed to let Jia Baoyu hang out with several sisters including Lin Daiyu without knowing it, and never mentioned the matter of upbringing. Killed Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun.

Therefore, in Jia Yingchun's heart, Jia's mother has always been the chief culprit who persecuted the Twelve Beauties of Jinling to tragedy, and although Jia Baoyu is one of the perpetrators, she is also a victim in another form, because if there is no Jia's mother Indulging and pampering since he was a child, and relying on Jia Baoyu's intelligence, even if he really doesn't like to take the official career, he will not achieve nothing.

When Lin Ruhai returned to Lin's mansion, Lin Heng had already changed into fresh clothes. Hearing Lin Ruhai's return, he hurriedly greeted him out the door, and returned to the hall with Lin Ruhai.

Lin Zhong followed the two into the room, and after Lin Heng helped Lin Ruhai to sit down on the main seat, he stepped forward and asked respectfully: "Master, do you want to take a shower and freshen up first, I have already ordered the kitchen to prepare meals , and then you can eat."

"Well, that's fine." Lin Ruhai nodded.

"In addition, the place where the master lives is still arranged in the main courtyard, the uncle lives in the Yiran courtyard to the east, and the girl is arranged in the Fangling courtyard to the west. Both courtyards have been cleaned up, but I don't know if the master will stay in Beijing in the future. Therefore, the manpower in the mansion has not dared to make up for it." Lin Zhong also briefly reported some arrangements for the old house after he came to Beijing.

"It's really hard to say... I'd better wait for two days to pick up the girl and then make plans. Heng'er hasn't seen my sister yet, so I'll pick your sister up with me the day after tomorrow." Lin Ruhai nodded in response.

Even though Lin Ruhai knew that the chances of being released were not high, he didn't dare to take it too seriously, and didn't say anything affirmative to Lin Zhong.

"Understood, father." Lin Heng heard Lin Ruhai say that he would take him to Rongguo Duke's mansion, and he was both happy and worried. He was happy to finally meet the soft and lovely sister in the rumors, but worried about Su Wei. Will the younger sister who met him hate his sudden extra brother? This feeling has actually been entangled with him for a long time, but he didn't dare to be too obvious in front of Lin Ruhai.
