[Red Mansion] Sir, I'm a rough man

Lin Ruhai's unclear "um" even subconsciously carried a bit of coercion.

Today's son is not in harmony with the Supreme Emperor. It is not a secret to the important officials in the court and the emperor's close ministers. However, the Jia family's Rongning and Ningfu are declining day by day, and they have no outstanding descendants. They have been marginalized in the court. These things are probably caused by Jia Zheng. He may not even understand it, how did he, an eight-year-old child, know it?

But Jia Wan said: "If the Supreme Emperor hadn't been dissatisfied with His Majesty, how could the salt tax have been reduced so much in the first year of His Majesty's accession to the throne?"

He graduated from university in his previous life and started wearing it less than a year after entering the workplace. Although he has little experience, he has never seen a pig run and has always eaten pork. He still has basic common sense.

The company has changed bosses. As an employee, even the most sneaky and slippery boss must be honest for a few days, lest the new official take office three times and burn on his head. After a long time, he gradually understands the new boss. The boss's temper, or reverted to old ways, or worsened, or conscientious...how could he brazenly oppose the new boss from the very beginning?

If it's bullying the new boss who doesn't know the inside ways, it's ridiculous to give him a blow... Even if the new boss doesn't understand, isn't the old boss still there?

So if someone really did this, either they were already planning to pack up and leave, or they had a bigger backer behind them.

Dare to ask, who else could have a bigger backer than the emperor?

Although the officialdom and the workplace are different, they also have something in common. This is the so-called seeing the big from the small.

Lin Ruhai smiled wryly: Jia Wan's deduction is not rigorous in his opinion. It is intricate and complicated, and the personnel involved are extremely complicated. How can it be said that the emperor and the emperor are not compatible because of this?But the final conclusion was right again, which left him speechless for a moment.

Jia Wan didn't realize what shocking words he said, seeing that Lin Ruhai didn't answer, he stopped entangled in this question, anyway, he was just asking casually, and said: "Uncle Lin was writing a letter back to the old lady. , Can you hide the part about me jumping off the boat and just say that my uncle rescued me on the boat? The old lady is getting old, I don’t want her to worry about it.”

Lin Ruhai glanced at him with a half-smile, and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't I have earned another favor in vain?"

This kid has already escaped safely, so there is no reason to worry about it, I'm afraid it's mostly because of trouble.

Jia Wan said: "No matter how great the favor is, can it be greater than the old lady helping Uncle Lin to raise Sister Lin? Uncle Lin will repay his nephew's affairs, and Sister Lin's life there will be easier."

Although Jia Wan lived in Lin's residence for a few days, the two of them spoke only twice, and things were too many and urgent, so it was only now that Daiyu was mentioned for the first time, Lin Ruhai's face changed slightly, and he said: "Yu'er Are you having a bad time in Rongguo Mansion?"

Jia Wan said: "I couldn't see Sister Lin because of lethargy, but I heard from my sister that the old lady loves Sister Lin very much, but she is old after all, and the second wife of the housekeeper doesn't like her very much. Sister Lin.

"Sister Lin is very thoughtful. When I left, Sister Lin had only been there for a few days. I heard that she had cried several times. She was quite self-sufficient."

Lin Ruhai sighed, frowned and remained silent.

Jia Wandao: "If you want me to say, my uncle shouldn't be fake and shabby. Our house is full of snobbish eyes. When Sister Ruolin goes, she brings seven or eight maids and five or six wives with her. , and a boatload of cages, how could anyone dare to underestimate her?"

At least Mrs. Wang didn't have the face to say "randomly" to take two and cut clothes for Daiyu.

"It's true," Lin Ruhai said, "When I send you back to Beijing, I will also send some people to her along the way."

After all, he was a man, and he only thought that there was Daiyu's natal family, and that he would not suffer any grievances under the care of Jia Mu. Daiyu was going to live permanently, and it would be impolite to bring too many people.But I forgot the atmosphere in the mansion over there. Jia Wan is the serious master of the Jia family, the direct son, and the younger brother of Jia Zhen, the lord of the Ningguo Mansion. Know.

Having made a decision, he stopped thinking about it and asked again: "How do you know that this old man is fake shabby and not really shabby?"

Jia Wan was dissatisfied and said: "Uncle Lin is treating me like a child! The Lin family is a family of princes, with a small population, and they pass on poems and books to the family. The expenses are not large. After several generations, how can the family business not be rich?"

The most important thing is, if Lin Ruhai is indeed a pauper, how could the Jia family, which was in full swing at that time, marry Jia Min?

"Besides, even though Uncle Lin's family is not rich, when my aunt got married, she was dressed in red makeup. The only dowry store in Zhuangzi has a lot of antiques. Uncle Lin's family is simple. How...how can you not afford to use a few maids?"

Even Jia's mansion has a prominent steward, and the family has a few girls and servants to take care of them. No matter how distressed the Lin family is, it shouldn't be so embarrassing, right?

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Wan: What kind of eight-year-old is this? He's just a mature monkey, right?

So he didn't regard him as an ignorant child, and said: "Do you know that the old man's job as inspector and censor is one of the most fat jobs in the world?"

Jia Wan nodded, it doesn't matter which world, as long as the word "monopoly" is stuck, it must be fat and can't be fatter.

Lin Ruhai said: "The old man was sent by His Majesty to investigate the matter of the salt class. He was stared at by countless pairs of eyes. Even if he had no mistakes, he would find some mistakes to criticize... I am sitting on this fat vacancy, and I am my own. How dare you spend money so small?"

Jia Wan was thoughtful, and said: "Uncle Lin is walking on thin ice in the south of the Yangtze River, so he sent sister Lin to the capital, so as to avoid future worries?"

No wonder Jia's mansion didn't come with two third-class wives, Lin Ruhai also sent Daiyu to the capital.

Lin Ruhai said: "Although not all of them, they do have this intention."

Jia Wan saw that Lin Ruhai didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask any more. Lin Ruhai said again: "What's the matter with your lethargy?"

This forced Jia Wan to lie, and shook his head and said: "I don't know, I heard from the old lady that when I was young, I hired many doctors, and there were all kinds of excuses, but none of the medicines prescribed worked.

"Later, monks and Taoists were invited to do it. Some said that my soul was incomplete, and some said that I had lost my mind, and because the more I took the medicine, the more I fell asleep, so some monks said that I offended Medicine King Bodhisattva in my previous life. This is the punishment given by the Bodhisattva.

"The old lady believed this, and lit the ever-burning lamp for me at Medicine King Bodhisattva's place, offered sesame oil every year, and asked me to go to the temple to burn incense every year on Medicine King Bodhisattva's birthday..."

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been picked up by the abductee... It makes me sad to think about it.

Lin Ruhai pondered and said: "Before you fell asleep, I also invited several doctors back to the house, gave injections, and used medicine, but it didn't help.

"I then thought of an unknown Taoist priest. It is said that he is a strange man who is best at all kinds of intractable diseases, but his whereabouts are uncertain. I sent people around to inquire, but luckily, I found him in a tavern... He is another Speech."

As early as when Jia Wan just woke up, he heard the servants talking about "Taoist priests". He thought it was him, and immediately became interested-at least this person can predict when he will wake up, can't he?

Lin Ruhai continued: "Do you know that the family pays attention to refining essence to transform qi, refining qi to transform spirit, and refining spirit to return emptiness. After the great achievement, you can refine emptiness and join the way, and you can return to the innate.

"The Taoist said that you are so talented that you are different from ordinary people. The innate energy in your body when you were born has not dissipated, but has grown stronger day by day.

"It's just Taoist cultivation, which needs to be done step by step, accumulated slowly, but you entered the last level all at once, without refining essence to transform qi, refining qi to transform god, and refining god to build a foundation, then the innate qi becomes water without a source. You can only use your own energy to nourish it, and when your energy is low, you will naturally fall asleep."

Jia Wan was stunned when he heard that, it was rare for the Taoist priest to justify his nonsense, and even matched the word "Xiantian".

Lin Ruhai said: "I thought he was talking nonsense and didn't take it to heart, but I didn't expect that he would predict the time for you to wake up, and that the more you took the medicine, the longer you would fall asleep. It’s not bad at all.”

Jia Wan said: "Then did he say how to cure this disease?"

Anyway, his current body can stand all kinds of troubles, black cats, white cats, blind cats, dead cats, please come back and try again.

Lin Ruhai said: "The Taoist said, this is not a disease at all. As long as the innate qi in your body develops and you become an innate body, it will heal without medicine. According to your current situation, it will take ten or twenty years. , it’s almost there.”

Jia Wan was speechless, ten years and 20 years... how does it feel like being sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment.

Lin Ruhai said: "I asked him again, is there a way to shorten the time?

"He said, there are two ways, the first is to take medicine. You fall asleep after taking medicine, because these medicines are refined... Ginseng and deer antler are great tonics, eat three to five thousand Jin, almost enough."

Jia Wan counted with his fingers, and his face turned dark immediately: Three to five thousand catties, one catty a day, and he has been cured after eating for more than ten years... Hehe.

"What about the second method?"

"The second method is to practice the Taoist mind method, which can not only greatly speed up the cultivation of innate qi, but also give immediate results. As long as you can enter the door, the innate qi has its source, even if you are lethargic, you will be like ordinary people. I won't be able to wake up."

Taoist mentality... Where can I get this stuff?

The point is, even if he gets it, he still can't understand it!

Just listen to Lin Ruhai said: "The Taoist left a book when he left, so that you don't have to look for him, just follow the practice.

"There is only one thing, if you can't cultivate, it's fine. If you succeed in cultivation, you have to go back to the mountain with him to pay homage to the ancestor master, and recognize that you are the descendant of this line. He said that he himself is only at the stage of refining the gods and transforming the emptiness, not enough. Ge is your master, and when the time comes, I will have the cheek to call you junior."

As he spoke, he handed over a yellowed torn book.

Jia Wan took it suspiciously, looked down, and saw the three big characters "Xiantian Gong" written on the cover of the torn book.
