New Dream of Red Mansions

Knowing that Brother Yu was leaving, Lin Ruhai gave him a lot of good things, which was regarded as thanks to Xiyan for taking care of Daiyu and the two prescriptions.

Xiyan didn't refuse, and put it on Brother Yu, saying: "Take these things to the two grandfathers."

A few days after Brother Yu left, Lin Ruhai's body gradually weakened. Jia Lian was wondering if his uncle said he was sick, and why he couldn't see anything. At this moment, seeing Lin Ruhai's face turned a little ugly, he thought that Lin Ruhai had taken strong medicine to procrastinate. , sighed inwardly.

Because he was concerned about the affairs of the Lin family, Jia Lian did not run out all day like before, but stayed at the Lin family to help with some things.

Lin Ruhai originally wanted Jia Lian to help manage the Lin family's business, and then entrusted him to bring the capital to Jia's mother, but now that he knew what the Jia family was thinking, it was naturally impossible to do that again, but he couldn't think of any other way at the moment. Come on, it's inevitable that I'm a little anxious.

Lin Zhong came over with the account book and said, "Master, are the shops that were originally planned to be sold still sold? All the bosses I contacted earlier came to ask."

Lin Ruhai waved, "Let me think again."

Lin Zhong sighed, but Wang Xiyan's figure suddenly flashed in Lin Ruhai's mind, and he couldn't help sitting up straight and said, "Lin Zhong, how do you think Wang Zifei arranged for his two children?"

Lin Zhong knew what happened to the Wang family siblings for a long time, and when he thought that his daughter might be worse than her, he couldn't help feeling anxious, "Master, this Wang family is too disrespectful, the third master Wang actually entrusted the wrong person..."

"No, no, no," Lin Ruhai stared at Lin Zhong with bright eyes and said, "No, Yu'er said that Miss Yan was generous in Jia's house, and look at her arrangement for his brother, let him worship a famous teacher outside, Teach him the principles of life inside, take good care of his body, and have no complaints about the wrong treatment of the Wang family. Either she buried her hatred in her heart, or she didn't care. If the former, it means that she has deep scheming , such a person must not be broad-minded enough, how can she still spend a leisurely life with Daiyu in peace, if the latter, it means that she has something to rely on, and..." And that support is Wang Ziteng, I'm afraid he doesn't know, then How did Wang Zifei arrange it?

Lin Ruhai's eyes were as bright as stars, if he knew, maybe there would be another way, his Yu'er, his Yu'er would be more secure.

Naturally, Lin Ruhai couldn't ask Wang Xiyan, even if he asked, Wang Xiyan couldn't tell him, that was the guarantee for their siblings to live and work.

Half a month passed, and Lin Ruhai didn't move at all. Before Xiyan was in a hurry, the news of the border crossing spread all over the country.

Xi Yan heard the sound of setting off firecrackers outside to celebrate, and asked curiously: "What's going on? It seems like the whole Yangzhou is setting off firecrackers?"

Daiyu also craned her neck curiously, "I'll ask someone to ask, I'm afraid there is something to celebrate."

Xueyan and Chunlan quickly ran in from the outside, happily saying: "Girl, Miss Yan, it's a great victory at the border. I heard that the Generalissimo drove Tsarist Russia all the way to that Boya. The news of the victory came back. The emperor is very happy and wants the whole world to celebrate." Woolen cloth."

"Is it Siberia?" Xiyan asked excitedly, "Did you hear clearly, it was the people from Shanhaiguan who won the battle?"

Chunlan knew what her daughter was going to ask, and she was very happy. She asked more, nodded fiercely and said: "It was defeated by the army led by the Marquis of Pingyang. I heard that the emperor will make him a high official."

Wang Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Marquis Pingyang survived, he hoped that he would quickly marry a wife and have a son to carry on the family line.

In fact, the emperor is more than just planning to give a big reward. This time the victory came just before the Chinese New Year. What caught everyone off guard was that the previous princes fought too much and stopped all the memorials at the border. This time the victory came back , I can’t stop it, the emperor has not had time to be happy, all the previous things were stripped out one by one in front of the emperor, the emperor became very angry, knowing that during the period when he was not going to court, the military pay and military supplies of the soldiers outside the customs They were all detained and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Chaotang is in chaos!

Lin Ruhai is the emperor's confidant, so he naturally received the news very quickly. He has been under more pressure these days. All forces want to get this piece of fat in Jiangnan, but he was supposed to guard it for the emperor, so how can he express his opinion? ?Otherwise, I'm afraid that there is no way for their family to survive.

It's just that the movement in the Zhen family is getting bigger and bigger, Lin Ruhai has no choice but to go to the yamen with a blue face, Daiyu can't help but worry when she sees it, "The imperial court is a great victory, why don't I look happy when I see my father? Could it be?" Daiyu is not stupid, vaguely Guessing something, she pulled Xiyan and said: "My good sister, I am not as good as you in these things, please tell me quickly."

Seeing her impatient look, Xiyan sighed: "The emperor is getting old, and after the new year, it will be Tianming for 60 years, and the emperor has been the emperor for 60 years."

Daiyu was taken aback, "Princes, can't wait any longer? The south of the Yangtze River is rich and prosperous, I'm afraid that my father's place..."

One click, Xiyan nodded.He said: "Leaving the capital also has the advantages of leaving the capital. At least you are by Uncle Lin's side, so Uncle Lin can rest assured."

Daiyu's face paled, "Someone wants to threaten Daddy with me?"

"I guessed it." Xiyan, the person behind Jia's mansion, guessed that it should be the former crown prince, while Lin Ruhai was only loyal to the emperor, and did not conspire with each other if they disagreed. Lin Ruhai probably had this consideration in taking Daiyu to Yangzhou early, right?

"Girl, Zhuang Sheng is here." Chunlan ran in happily.

Xiyan finished watering the orchid carefully, and said, "Let him wait for me in the front living room. It would be great if Dongmei was here. She will definitely take care of such a delicate orchid."

Chunlan glanced at the flowers in the flower pot, and said puzzledly: "This orchid is not bad now, it looks energetic, so I thought it wasn't winter."

"But if Dongmei is here, maybe it can make it bloom. That's enough, let's go. I also want to know how Brother Yu is doing. Is there any news about Master."

Chunlan stuck out her tongue and ran to Zhuang Sheng.

Zhuang Sheng was also redeemed by Manager Zhuang after Xiyan left Wang's house. In fact, he was just an servant outside. Some time ago, he went to Jiangnan in advance to contact the managers in the Zhuangzi's shop and to do various chores ordered by Xiyan.

"How is it? How is Brother Yu doing in Gusu now?"

"Back to the girl, the young master bought a house in Gusu City, and took over the three old ladies, the third old lady, and the sixth old lady. What the third old lady meant was that since the girl and the young master are back, why not take advantage of this year's time?" Sacrificial offerings can also be included in the genealogy, which can be regarded as a formal recognition of relatives, so as to avoid the trouble of returning to the capital in time."

Xiyan naturally agreed, nodded and said: "I will go to Gusu in a while, have you visited all those industries?"

"Yes, the steward heard that it was the girl's order, so he took out the money without saying a word. Although it is not much, the expenses of the girl and the young master in the past few years have been settled." The girl and the young master returned to the capital to eat and live. All of them are in Jia's house, and there is a monthly payment of silver, and there is very little money that can be used. The 3000 taels are indeed enough.

"Is there any news from the master?"

Zhuang Sheng lowered his eyes and said: "Girl, Mr. Fanghe's whereabouts are uncertain. The last time someone saw him was two years ago. In Lingnan, the people under us are not as good as before. Although we can still collect some information, we have to go deep. Difficult, if Mr. Fanghe doesn't take the initiative to show up or contact him, the little ones won't be able to find him at all."

Xiyan frowned, "Tell me, how about we tell Lin Ruhai about Master?"

Zhuang Sheng disagreed and said: "Girl, everyone is afraid of death, let alone a person who is concerned about Mr. Lin. Although the things back then were small, he also vaguely knew something. Mr. Fang He would not give it to you." For these officials who treat illnesses, the girl slowly searched for them, and there may be a glimmer of hope. If Mr. Lin went to look for them, Mr. Fang He would not agree to it just because of your face."

Xiyan sighed, isn't she just afraid of this?By the way, why do capable people have strange tempers?Although the master is justifiable, it is too arbitrary.

Master and Lin Ruhai, Xiyan chose the mentoring relationship for several years, "Then you send more people to Lingnan, I guess the master must have taken a fancy to some poison or some medicinal materials and went there. "

Zhuang Sheng nodded repeatedly.

After explaining the business, Xiyan also felt a little better, and said with a smile, "Your father should be back in half a month, right?"

"Yes, I should be back in the capital in half a month."

"When you return to the capital, you can work under your father's hand. You are not too young, so learn more. In the future, you will either work under Brother Yu, or go out to support the family. All of these need means."

Zhuang Sheng's eyes lit up, knowing that the girl wanted to train him to take over his father's class in the future, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "The little one will definitely live up to the girl's orders."
