Survive in the world of Red Mansions

Lin Rui has been restless these past few days. He has to worry about his father's injury, fearing that the killer who attacked last time will return, and his father's safety will be threatened, and he also has to hide the news of his father's injury for fear that Lin Daiyu will notice.

Lin Rui was worried that his father would not come back, and he really couldn't hide it. Daiyu had already asked him several times, saying that he had been restless recently, whether something happened in the house, or what happened to his father.

With Lin Rui worried and entangled all day long, Lin Hai finally returned to Yangzhou Xunyan Yushi's Mansion on the seventh day after Er Zhuzi returned to report the letter, and he was still carried back in a sedan chair.

As soon as Lin Rui heard that Lin Hai had returned to the mansion, and that he had brought him in, and that classes were not in session, Mr. Zhou hurried over after asking for leave.

"Father, how are you doing now? Didn't you say that the injury is not serious? Why can't you even walk after so many days?"

Lin Hai looked at his son's anxious questioning, and knew that he was really scared this time, so he raised his hand and touched him, "It's much better, because the wound is in the abdomen, and it's just started to heal, so they let me lie down, it's true It's much better, let's go in and talk!"

After a few servants carried Lin Hai in, they helped Lin Hai to lie down on the beauty couch in the wing room. Lin Rui asked someone to bring a quilt over and let Lin Hai sit up a little.

After the others went out, Lin Rui asked: "Father, what's going on this time, who is so courageous, dare to assassinate the third-rank officials of the dynasty in broad daylight? Is it those people?"

Lin Hai didn't answer his son's question directly, but patted his head, "How long has it been? Why have you lost so much weight? Didn't Er Zhuzi tell you that I'm not seriously injured, so you still worry about it?"

Lin Rui has been holding back for the past few days, afraid that people will see something. Now that Lin Hai said it, tears came down, and he hurriedly lay on Lin Hai's body, and said sullenly: "How could it be possible to lose weight? I'm in the mansion. Eat and drink, what is there to worry about?"

"Okay, don't worry about yourself. Didn't you guess it? Only those few, plus the people from Jinling, have the courage. Now it's a good thing? It's been a few years since I came here The method is more radical. The Qian family and the Bao family were copied, and several small salt merchants were also copied by me. I have accumulated a lot of enemies. Which of these salt merchants has no backer? Now the few above It is at the most critical moment, and I just have a reason to say that I need to recuperate due to physical reasons, and I will hide for a while."

"It's the best way to do this, I'm afraid those people will not give up. Now that you are injured, Dad, you should just stay in the mansion and don't go out. If there is anything else, let others do it. A few staff members and Lin Yun can do it." ?"

The two were talking, and Lin Daiyu hurried in with someone. When she saw Lin Hai leaning on the couch, her face was pale, and tears flowed down her face.

"Father, is the injury serious? Is it better now?" Then he turned his head and glared at Lin Rui, "Did you know that father was injured a long time ago, and you didn't tell me?"

Lin Rui looked at Lin Daiyu's tears, begged for mercy and said, "Sister, am I afraid that you will be anxious if I don't tell you? Oh, don't cry!"

Lin Daiyu held Lin Hai's hand, shedding tears while talking, Lin Hai father and son both thought of Jia Baoyu's saying that women are made of water, it seems that this sentence is sometimes true.

Although Sister Lin in Dream of Red Mansions likes to shed tears, now Sister Lin is a little sentimental, but because she lives at home, her father takes care of her, and her younger brother is with her. It is impossible to cry against the wind every day.Seeing Lin Hai injured this time, he was too sad to cry so hard.

"Okay, be good, don't cry, red eyes are not pretty anymore, don't you see that I am almost better now? Daiyu is now the housekeeper, is there anything going on in the mansion during this time?" Lin Daiyu listened When my father changed the subject like this, I hurriedly wiped away my tears, not wanting to worry my father.

As soon as Lin Daiyu heard Lin Hai talk about the housekeeper, she thought of Lin Hai's current physical condition, and hurriedly arranged for people to go to the kitchen, asking them to make more blood-enriching medicinal meals from today.

At this time, a little maid came in outside to announce that the aunts are here and want to come to say hello.

"Let them in."

Several aunts walked in immediately, and when they saw Lin Hai sitting on the couch, their eyes immediately turned red.

"master!"

"Sir! Are you better now?"

A few people talked to each other, Lin Hai was really upset when he heard it, everyone was heartbroken, as if he was so injured that he was about to die.Lin Hai knew that they were all relying on him to live in this Lin Mansion, so he naturally hoped that he would live on in a healthy and healthy way. No matter how true or false he was, it was certain that they would be worried if he was hurt now, but should he be like this, acting? ?

Lin Hai was injured, and Lin Rui and his brother were anxious and sad. He felt guilty, so he coaxed him nicely. He really didn't have the patience for other people. Lin Hai asked them to accompany him. Let them all go back.

After the aunts left, Lin Daiyu sat with Lin Hai and the others for a while, because there were still things to deal with, and she wanted to make good arrangements for her father's return, so she had no choice but to reluctantly leave.

"Rui'er, what about you, don't you want to go to class? Are you still sitting here?"

"My husband and I have asked for leave. Dad, the position of the inspector of salt and censor is now going to be tenured. Let's resign early. This time is considered good luck. Who knows what will happen next time?"

"Don't worry, I have a good idea, the dust should settle soon, and I will naturally submit my resignation at that time. This time, thanks to the desperate resistance of those guards, I was able to be safe. Four people died and the wounded Although there is compensation for the yamen, we will give another compensation. Most of these people are the pillars of their families. If you leave them, your families will have nothing to live. You should discuss it with the housekeeper. How to deal with it, ask the big housekeeper for advice when making a decision."

"The money will be spent soon. It is best to buy them some land or a small shop so that their family can collect rent for a long time. Don't worry about it, Dad. I will tell the housekeeper. Then I will Go out, go to bed first, I will come back later."

"Okay, let's go!"

Lin Rui went to the living room outside and asked someone to invite the housekeeper over to discuss matters.

"Master, may I ask what you want from me?" Lin Zhong walked in, bowed and asked.

"Bo Lin, you're here. That's how it is. This time, my father was attacked. Fortunately, those guards tried their best to protect them. Four of these guards died and five were injured. Although there will be a compensation of 30 taels of silver at the Yamen, it is because of protection after all." My father just died, and our Lin family will make another one, how much do you think is appropriate, Lin Bo?"

"The pension money given by the yamen is 30 taels, sir, you can pay twice the amount, how about an additional 60 taels for each person?"

"These guards are all at the right age, and they are basically supported by their families. Why don't we pay 100 taels per person. The pension money is also given by our Lin family. If they are all given in cash, maybe they will give it to them. It’s better to buy them a few acres of land or a house so that they can collect rent for a long time.”

"What the uncle said is also reasonable, but whose name is the purchased land in? How to deal with the land is a problem. Grandpa, do you think this is okay? If there are children in the family, the land will be in the name of the child, and if there is no child, it will be in the name of the parents. No matter whether these women remarry or not, they can’t ignore it at all. They will give them 20 taels of silver, and 80 taels of silver will be used to buy land, sir, do you think this is okay?"

"I didn't think so much. What Lin Bo said makes sense. How about it? Let's pay 100 taels for buying land or something, and give another 20 taels to their wives. When Lin Bo asked people to do this, Let those who handle affairs pay attention, and don't do bad things with good intentions.

There are still 5 injured, ask a doctor to take a good look at them, all the expenses will be paid by the mansion, and according to the severity of their injuries, each will be given 10 to 20 taels of silver to let them recuperate.The other guards who went out together should be paid 5 taels of silver for their hard work. The ones in our house who went out with their father were also 5 taels, and those who went out later were paid 2 taels of silver each.Lin Pai, do you think this is okay? "

"The uncle thought it right, so the old slave will go down and deal with it."

"Okay, please trouble Lin Boduo!"

At night, Lin Rui discussed with the butler Lin Zhong during the day, and told Lin Hai about the handling of casualties and guards.

"Father, do you think I can handle it like this?"

"Ruirui's handling is not bad! It's the compensation for the four dead guards. Please pay more attention. They died because of me. Others will see these compensations. Let others see our compensation for these Because of our dead people, our Lin family will never treat their family members badly, and let them know that if they encounter this situation again, even if they have any misfortunes, they don’t have to worry about their family members. We will take care of their family members. They were so worried. This incident was handled well.”

"That's right, your son is still very capable. In the future, if Dad has anything to do, he can leave it to me to handle it."

"You can get it! You are only a little older now? Your most important task now is to grow up healthy and healthy. Alas, if the age gap between our father and son is the same as before! Now it is like this, By the time your kid gets married, your father and I will be in their fifties and sixties, and people of the same age will almost become great-grandfathers."

"We are very lucky to have this adventure, people should know how to be grateful, be self-sufficient, Dad!"

"You still need to persuade me? I'm just expressing emotion! That's all, go back to sleep!"

"It's still early, I'll spend more time with you, a disabled person!"

"Get out early..."

"..."

After Lin Hai had breakfast the next day, he asked the boy to carry him to the study outside, and asked him to move all the official documents during this period outside the study, so that he could handle them conveniently.After walking for more than 20 days, although there are staff members, there are still a lot of official documents that need to be handled by Lin Hai himself.

Not long after, Zhao Ze, the staff member, came over and saw Lin Hai leaning on the concubine's couch in the study reading official documents, and Lin An was waiting on the side.

"Brother Ruhai, why don't you rest for a few more days? I heard from Yizhi that you were seriously injured this time, so there is no need to be in such a hurry. There is nothing particularly urgent during this time."

"Brother Qinghe is here. Sit down. It's already healed. It's just that the injury is in the abdomen. It's inconvenient to walk, sit, and lie down. Come and have a look. Don't worry. Besides, it's very uncomfortable to lie in bed these days."

"Regarding the attack this time, does Brother Ru Hai have any clues now?"

"Qinghe, can't you guess it? So what if we find out the facts? No matter how important you are to me, can you still be more important than your own blood and flesh? Let's just leave it at this time, and we will talk about it later when we have a chance."

"That's right, after all, that's my own son!"

"I was injured this time, and it will take a few months to recuperate, as long as I don't delay these daily affairs."

When Zhao Ze heard what Lin Hai said, he almost understood what he meant. Lin Hai probably wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to avoid it.It happened to be a good reason to be injured during a business trip this time!

"You are not in the yamen during this time, I will explain some things to you now."

"Brother Qinghe has been bothering you for a while, let's start now!"

After all, Lin Hai’s family in Yangzhou did not see Second Master Lian, but the Lin family didn’t know that Second Master Lian was coming, and Lin Hai and the others never thought about it. After the news of Lin Hai’s injury spread this time, the Rongguo Mansion deliberately arranged people come over.

Originally, Jia Lian was going to leave, but the Rongguo Mansion has always been procrastinating.I also want to ask some acquaintances and friends about Lin Hai's injury, but the people in Rongguo Mansion are all honored and noble families, with few people in power and many being honored and raised, so it is difficult to know any useful further news , When Jia Lian finally decided to set off for Yangzhou, the capital city changed.

Several princes led people to force the officials and rebelled!

The author has something to say: Regarding this pension silver, I took an intermediate value based on the compensation standards for soldiers who died on the battlefield in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

In addition, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, land sales ranged from five or six taels of silver to one or 20 taels of silver. I also took an intermediate value. 100 taels can almost buy 10 mu of land, which means that land in the south of the Yangtze River is expensive, so it should be Seven or eight acres can also be bought. For a family, their livelihood can basically be guaranteed, and the compensation is no worse than the current one.
