The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

However, Lin Hai was a little surprised after receiving the emperor's imperial edict, and asked Zhen Yingjia to replace him.Then they communicated again, if you want to take something first, you must give it first, this is the emperor's trick for Zhen Yingjia!

Lin Hai thought for a while, he still had to hand over the official affairs of the salt administration with Zhen Yingjia, so he first asked Kong Jiayi to take the two children to the capital, and transport some of the family property by the way, otherwise the goal of transporting away together would be too big.

In addition to handing over official duties with Zhen Yingjia, the affairs of Xue's family have to be dealt with. Xue Gao thought that there are many right and wrong in the capital, and they are not particularly face-saving people. Xiao Xiami is not the only one who went to the capital!You can't always ask Lin Hai for help when you have something, can you?

Moreover, Xue Biao is going to take the examination of scholar this year, and this time he has to go back to Jinling to take the examination, so Xue Gao is not willing to go to the capital no matter what.Lin Hai didn't force them, but just wrote a letter of introduction to Xue Biao, so that Xue Biao could go to Junbi Academy in Suzhou to study, and also wrote a letter to Xue Gao, asking Suzhou Lin's family to take care of Xue Gao in Suzhou Let's go together.

Now Lin Hai can be regarded as being benevolent and righteous. After handing over the affairs of the salt administration with Zhen Yingjia, Lin Hai started to pack his things!

Instead, Kong Jiayi packed some valuable antique calligraphy and paintings, and silver at home into a box, and transported them away!But Lin Hai's place is not so simple, because the emperor's will is to transfer Lin Hai back to the capital, so it will be difficult to return to Jiangnan in the future, so all industries must be properly handled.Because although Yangzhou is a little far away from the capital, it will not be very convenient to manage in the future, but it is very prosperous here, and the income of these industries is also good.

Therefore, Lin Hai does not plan to sell the properties here, so he has to leave capable people to manage them. The Lin family really has a lot of talents, because the family has its own methods of cultivating talents.

The house he lives in now is an official residence, so Lin Hai will take it back naturally after he leaves, and it is convenient to get there.However, there are quite a lot of things accumulated over the years. If dozens of ships enter Beijing at once, it would be too ostentatious.That's why Lin Hai asked Kong Jiayi to go back first. When he arrived at Lin Hai's place, he sorted out some daily necessities, some things that were not too precious and that he didn't like, and sold them.The ones that were too precious were also packed up and hidden in another place, and some good and large pieces of furniture were packed up, and they were also planned to be transported back to the capital.

Waiting for Lin Hai to pack up the family property and prepare to go to Beijing with the rest of the family property.Lin Chang came to visit!

"Grand-nephew Chang, why are you here?" Speaking of which, there have been a lot of things happening in the river recently, if there is any news of a dike breaking in the first year of the new emperor's reign.The officials of the river course are absolutely finished!At this time, Lin Chang came to see what he could do.

"Uncle Hai is going to Beijing, right?" Lin Chang said dryly.

Lin Hai nodded in a daze, saying that this news is not something very private!Why did Lin Chang ask suddenly, Lin Hai suddenly had a bad premonition.

really……

"To be honest with Uncle Hai, I want my wife and two children to go to Beijing with Uncle." Lin Chang said seriously.

Lin Hai frowned, "But is there something wrong with the river? Why are you sending your wife and children away at this time?"

Lin Chang smiled wryly and nodded, "After the assassination of the previous governor of the river, Mr. Yuan, the Supreme Emperor has already transferred him back to the capital. Now the new governor of the river, Mr. Gao, is a greedy and lustful person. Uncle, you know that the money from the household department After a while, he put a quarter of it in his own pocket. I am not because of the lack of money this year, but because I am worried about the Yangtze River breaking its embankment. If the Yangtze River bursts its embankment this year, the consequences will be disastrous."

This is a big deal. Frowning, Lin Hai said, "Then do you have evidence?"

"There is one point. It can only prove that Mr. Gao has tampered with the money issued by the Ministry of Households. As for how much tampering has been done, I don't know, but with that little evidence, I am afraid that even the charge of embezzlement is not enough. No, now that Uncle Hai is gone, although Jiangnan still has the Lin family's eyeliner, the deterrent power is not as good as when Uncle Hai was there.

And I also found that Mr. Gao and the Zhen family seem to be flirting with each other. Now that Zhen Yingjia has accepted the position of inspector of salt and censor, I am afraid that Jiangnan will not be peaceful for a while.To say that I am not afraid of Uncle Hai's jokes, if I don't think that the two children are still young, I would like to resign! "It's just that both Lin Hai and Lin Chang understand that for their sake, they just want to resign, but they can't!

Lin Hai pondered for a while and said: "Without evidence, it's very difficult to do. Now that the Zhen family is short of money, everyone is tacitly aware of it. I'm afraid that they will push you out to be a scapegoat. Therefore, for these people, there are still some It needs to be monitored. You should also pay attention to your own safety, I don’t want what happened last time to happen again!”

Lin Chang said calmly, "Don't worry, Uncle Hai, I'm not stupid, I'll take care of myself."

After talking about the business, it's time to talk about personal matters, "Are you really determined to let your wife and two children follow me to the capital?"

Lin Chang sighed, "Uncle Hai, I can't help it! I'm afraid they will jump over the wall in a hurry." Sending it to the capital, with his uncle and Lin Hai's family watching, is safer than staying here.

"Since you've made up your mind, it's fine for me to take them to Beijing along the way, but if you think about it, the old lady of the Jia family is going to hold on to your precious daughter, so you should come up with a way as soon as possible. " Lin Hai said playfully.

Lin Chang was a little unhappy when he heard this, no matter who knew that someone was slapping his daughter's attention, he would not be very happy, especially that Jia Baoyu is a mud that cannot be supported, how could Lin Chang let his precious daughter marry him "My wife and I have already discussed. When Dai'er is ten years old, we will show her the family and settle the marriage early. No matter how strong Mrs. Jia is, she can't force others to divorce her!"

Lin Hai raised his eyebrows, "It's a good idea, but your precious daughter is still young, if Mrs. Jia picks her up to stay for a few days, you won't be able to stop her."

Lin Chang chuckled, "Nephews and grandchildren can't stop me, my uncle will always stop me! I hope Uncle Hai will take care of you in the future."

Lin Hai was amused, and said dumbfoundedly: "So, that's what you're thinking about, no matter what, I'll let your uncle take care of it more!"

"Thank you, Uncle!" Lin Chang thanked.

Lin Hai went north by boat, and when he arrived at Qinghe County, he picked up Li Ruoxi and Lin Daiyu's boat by the way, and took them north to the capital by boat!

There was no wind or waves in the canal, and the big ship was very stable.Every three or four days of walking, I will stop to replenish some water when I encounter a big city.Because the members of Lin Chang's family are basically all female relatives, and the only man is a baby boy, so Lin Hai actually has no communication with Li Ruoxi and Lin Daiyu. They just send someone over to spread the word and make a boat if there is something to do. Do it separately.

Although there was no communication, Lin Hai still knew that during this time, Li Ruoxi and Mrs. Lin were doing needlework with the maids. They made a lot of purses, handkerchiefs and other small things, all of which were very delicate. They were small gifts, obviously. It was prepared to be sent to Beijing to give away.

It was already afternoon when we waited for the boat to arrive at the pier.Looking at the pier from a distance, the people coming and going are really not the usual lively.When he got off the boat, he saw that the butler of the Lin Mansion had brought a dozen people and had been waiting on the pier for a long time.

After seeing Lin Hai and his party, they first paid a visit, and then thought about Lin Hai's report.

Because Li Ruoxi and his party are all female relatives, they are planning to go to the Lin Mansion to stay for a while, and wait for Li Ruoxi and the others to move out after buying a new house.Lin Chang used to have a three-entry house in the capital, but now it doesn't fit his status, so Lin Chang and Li Ruoxi discussed to live in Lin's mansion for a while, and then move out after buying a new house.

As for why they didn't go to Li's house, it was because of the problems of Jia's family. If Jia's mother insisted on taking Lin Daiyu to live there, the Li family might not be able to suppress her. At this time, Lin Hai could only put pressure on Jia's family!

Another point is that the relationship between Li Ruoxi and her stepmother is not good, and it is not bad to visit relatives. If Li Ruoxi returns to Beijing to live in the Li family, her stepmother will not know what to say. Lin Daiyu is not engaged yet, and her reputation is not yet I want it!

When Lin Hai came home, he walked through the side door. His master usually walked, and when he entered the second door, he saw Kong Jiayi waiting with Lin Yu leading him. When he saw Lin Hai coming in, he immediately greeted him, and said, "It's like waiting for the master! "

Lin Hai couldn't help laughing, "Am I a child, and I can still get lost." He held Kong Jiayi's hand and was satisfied to see that Kong Jiayi's ears were red, so Lin Hai put down Kong Jiayi's hand and said, "This is Lin Chang's. Mrs. and two children."

Kong Jiayi understood, Lin Hai had written a letter a long time ago, saying that Lin Chang's wife and children would follow him to Beijing, and they still had to live at home for a while, waiting to buy a new house and couldn't afford to move.The Lin family's house is very big, and there are only a few of them, so they stepped forward with a smile and said, "This is Lin Chang's daughter-in-law, she really is beautiful."

"Uncle is joking, this is my daughter's name is Daiyu, Dai'er is calling someone quickly." Li Ruoxi said.

Lin Daiyu tilted her head, looked at Kong Jiayi, and then called out, "Hello, Grandpa and Uncle!"

Cough cough cough, even Kong Jiayi has long been used to this issue of seniority, but now he hears such a pink and tender girl call her grand-uncle, and she still chokes a little!

grandparents!

People who don't know think how old they are, such a cheating seniority.

Kong Jiayi couldn't help but burst into tears, I can't afford to be hurt!

Especially when they are very concerned about their age now, this name is really too hurtful!
