[Qing Chuan + Red House] Lin's eldest daughter

After the banquet was over, Lin Ruhai went back to the study and sat down. He wasn't too drunk at first, but he drank a bowl of hangover soup prepared by his daughter, and felt even more at ease.

"What do you think of Jia Lian?"

Uncle Zhong thought about it for a while, and replied: "He has a bit of tact, he has a wink, and he is also a man of the world."

Lin Ruhai nodded, this Jia Lian was a bit smart, but unfortunately he didn't use it in the right way, and he was both greedy and lustful, so his character was really not good.

The dignified son-in-law of the eldest son of the Rong Mansion is actually of such a character... and thinking about some things about the Rong Mansion that Jia Lian just told... The second son of the house, Jia Baoyu, who was rumored to be born extraordinary, was still in the inner courtyard all day long. Hanging around, treating the Four Books and Five Classics like a scourge... Lin Ruhai couldn't help sighing, the two descendants of this generation are so useless, Rongfu is afraid that there will be no successors.

After pondering for a while, Lin Ruhai slowly said: "From Jia Lian's few words, I can only roughly estimate the temperament of everyone in the Rongfu, but it is hard to judge what is going on inside. The two girls went to the capital together. Our family also has a Zhuangzi and a shop in the capital. You only say that you are going to take care of the family property, but no one can say that. Walking without a reliable person, once something happens, it will be really inconvenient, I can feel more at ease with you here."

"I am very willing to be able to take care of the two girls, but the master..." Uncle Zhong was a little hesitant. He is someone the master is used to, and he has always been responsible for many of the previous affairs, including the communication outside and in all aspects. I'm taking care of it, and I'm really worried about this move.

But Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about me here, just ask your son to come on top, your son has followed you in and out since he was a child, it's time to see, and I think your kid really has a few Be very shrewd, and nothing major will go wrong."

Seeing that he intends to promote his son, Uncle Zhong was delighted, but at the same time worried, "I'm afraid that the kid is young and frivolous..."

"It's all from when I was young and frivolous. After two years of recuperation, it's enough to be on my own. You're not too young. It's good to ask your son to come out and experience it." Lin Ruhai waved his hand indifferently, and said: "And the girl We still need you to take care of me so skillfully and tactfully, so I can rest assured, after all, in the boundary of the capital, if you drop a plaque on the road, you can hit a yellow belt, and the young boy may easily cause trouble."

Hearing this, Uncle Zhong's heart was also shocked, "It's still the master who is thoughtful, so this slave will go back to pack his luggage and set off with the girls at that time."

Lin Ruhai nodded, and pondered again: "Tomorrow, you will first give Jia Lian 2000 taels of silver notes, just saying that he is tired of traveling and traveling, and it is rare for him to come to Yangzhou. My uncle gave him some pocket money, and asked him to pay for the two bills." Let’s go to Yangzhou City to wander around at will.”

People who are greedy for money are the best to deal with. The Lin family has no shortage of money. If you give me some sweets, that kid will always take care of two more daughters with his shrewdness.

"In addition... according to what Jia Lian said, his daughter-in-law is now in charge of the Rong Mansion. When you send the two girls into the mansion, you can find an opportunity to quietly give 2000 taels to his wife... With this kid's character, he can't handle it. He must not let his daughter-in-law know about the money in his pocket." Similarly, if the money falls into the hands of his daughter-in-law, he will not want to get much of it.

Uncle Zhong couldn't help sighing when he heard the words, "Master, with all his love for his daughter, he has arranged everything he can think of."

"It's just some silver. If it can make my two daughters live more comfortably, let alone a few thousand taels, so what if it's tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands? It's all external possessions."

The Lin family's wealth is so rich that no one can see the root of it, not to mention a few thousand taels, but tens of thousands of taels. To the Lin family, it is nothing more than a drop in the bucket, but with this little money, it can make their two daughters a lot more. In Lin Ruhai's opinion, this account couldn't be more cost-effective.

In the early morning of the next day, Uncle Zhong avoided everyone and quietly slipped 2000 taels of silver bills to Jia Lian, telling the truth what the master said last night, and Jia Lian beamed with delight and smiled.

Jia Lian was the one who dared to fish out the money that fell into the frying pan. He was always under the strict control of that hag at home, and he had a lot of money in his hands. He didn't want to come to Yangzhou. However, after getting such a large amount of windfall money, he felt comfortable and overjoyed all of a sudden. He secretly thought that the Lin family really had a deep foundation, and it was so generous to reward some "pockets" at will. A man who has sat in the position of Xunyan Yushi for so many years, although he is a scholar, he also understands the word "sophisticated", unlike his second uncle, who is stupid in reading.

After thinking about it for a while, Jia Lian once again became convinced that the relatives of the Lin family can really keep in touch with each other from time to time, and he must have a good talk with his wife when he goes back. It is better to take care of the two cousins ​​on weekdays, but take care of the two cousins I have to post properly, and I am afraid that my uncle will not be willing to give up a little thank you?Just a little casually leaking from the crack of a finger is enough for him to live happily for a long time.

With money in hand, Jia Lian has been chic for the past two days. He doesn't have any other hobbies, he just likes to drink flower wine and listen to a little song. For this reason, he deliberately declined Lin Ruhai's arrangement to take him for a stroll. The servant, with only Xing'er, plunged into the fireworks and willow alley, just like a mouse that fell into a rice vat, he was really overjoyed.

Lin Ruhai just watched with cold eyes, shaking his head more and more at this nephew.

It is actually human nature for a man to love beauty, but it is so lustful that he can't bear it even in the few short days at his uncle's house, but it really makes people don't know what to say.

Since Jia Lian hadn't been seen all day and all night, sisters Lin Mohan and Lin Daiyu hadn't been able to meet her, and Lin Daiyu was puzzled.

"Isn't this cousin Lian who grew up in the capital? Does he have any friends or important things to do in Yangzhou? Why is he so busy all day long?"

Lin Mohan smiled, but didn't explain, for fear of dirtying her ears.

People are very busy, busy looking for flowers and willows.

Fearing that this simple and silly sister would continue to be curious, Lin Mohan changed the topic, "I have other people's affairs, which have nothing to do with us. With this time, you might as well think about it carefully to see if there is anything else you want to bring that you have not forgotten. Pack it up, and we’ll be leaving the day after tomorrow.”

Lin Daiyu laughed at her when she heard the words, "What else can I leave behind? My sister can't wait to put away half of her belongings."

This is a bit exaggerated, but it is enough to prove how much luggage Lin Mohan has packed. The clothes and jewelry of the two sisters are packed into ten boxes. These are only new clothes made this year. Some items that the two are used to every day, such as tea sets, pillows, etc., and the two sisters love to read books, which is naturally indispensable. Finally, there are some gold and silver seeds, golden melon seeds, golden peanuts and other daily rewards. As for things, I only need to bring less copper plates first, and it will be convenient to exchange them when I arrive in the capital.

In addition, the two sisters each have four first-class maids and two second-class maids, and two nurses, a total of twenty servants will also accompany them.

Seeing the ostentation of the two cousins ​​on the day of departure, Jia Lian couldn't help being stunned for a while, secretly thinking that the boat was big enough, otherwise he might make a fool of himself, and thinking about his family, he probably couldn't think of it, lest his wife arranged a small yard. So he hurriedly asked someone to send a letter back to explain the situation and make plans early.

"Cousin Lian." The two sisters cheered slightly.

Jia Lian has been hanging out outside for a few days, this is the first time he saw the two cousins, and he was shocked to heaven.

Whether it's his wife or the girls in the family, or the younger sister of Aunt Xue's family, and the daughter-in-law of Rong next door, Qin Shi, all of them are very good-looking, but seeing these two cousins ​​today Still can't help but marvel, this is the beauty of the country, when it grows up a little bit, if it really grows, then it's okay?

"Uncle is really lucky." Jia Lian couldn't help being speechless, it was really hard to guess what the future would be like for these two girls.

Lin Ruhai smiled lightly, and said: "These two girls are entrusted to you. It's a long way to go to the capital. They have been raised in a boudoir since they were young and have never traveled far. You have to take care of them on the way."

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "Uncle is serious. My own cousin, don't say such foreign words. Uncle just rest assured. I will take care of the two forms properly."

Lin Ruhai exchanged a few more polite words with him, and then looked at the two daughters who were already in tears. His heart was also sore, and he said earnestly, "Listen to your cousin on the way, and don't mess around willfully. When you arrive in the capital, please take good care of me." Your grandma, remember to read more and practice calligraphy in your spare time, and don't be playful, remember?"

The two sisters should be right again and again.

Lin Ruhai felt sad in his heart, and sighed, "It's getting late, you guys go now."

"Father……"

"Father, please take care of yourself..."

The father and daughter said goodbye tearfully, but no matter how reluctant they were, it was finally time to say goodbye.

Standing on the shore and watching the boat gradually move away, Lin Ruhai, who had been holding back tears, finally couldn't hold back the tears until the boat could no longer be seen, and then was supported by the servant, and sat on it tremblingly. Carriage, on the way back, my heart was empty, as if my heart and soul had been poached away.

And the two sisters on the boat were also in tears, feeling very sad and anxious.

"Sister... I'm afraid..." Lin Daiyu choked up in a low voice. No matter how good her grandmother's house is, it's not her own house after all. How can she not be afraid when she lives under the fence?

Lin Mohan held her in his arms and said softly, "Don't be afraid, my sister is always with you."
