After the two exchanged a few words, Lin An came to Jia Lian and said that there was another guest ahead and Jia Lian needed to be entertained.Jia Lian greeted Xue Pan and asked Xue Pan to wait for him to come back before leaving with Lin An.

After Jia Lian left, Xue Pan was the only one left here.

Lin Ping came in from the outside and said to Xue Pan, "Master Xue, my master left you a letter before he passed away."

Xue Pan woke up from his depression, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the letter?"

Lin Ping said in a low voice: "This is not a place to talk, please come with the little one."

Lin Ping took Xue Pan to the inner study.

In the study, Lin Ping gave Lin Ruhai's letter to Xue Pan.

After reading the letter, Xue Pan was a little moved, but even more puzzled.

If he was a real 15-year-old boy, like him in his previous life, and received such appreciation from a big man like Lin Ruhai, then at this time, he would definitely wish to die for Lin Ruhai.Whatever Lin Ruhai asked him to do, he would do it without thinking so much.

Unfortunately he is not.

He didn't believe that before Lin Ruhai died, she didn't care about Miss Lin's future, but arranged everything for herself.

This is not common sense.

If Lin Ruhai likes herself and takes good care of herself, what she should do at this time is to entrust Miss Lin's life to herself, which is normal.Instead of not mentioning Miss Lin at all like now, just caring about himself as a junior.

Xue Pan was puzzled, but he didn't ask, but asked, "Where is the letter Mr. Lin asked me to hand over?"

Lin Ping took out a thick letter from a secret compartment and handed it to Xue Pan, saying: "This is a letter from my master who asked you to pass it on to the Minister of Rites. This letter is very important, and I hope Mr. Xue will take good care of it. If there is any Accidents can be destroyed and must not be seen by others."

Lin Ping finished explaining, and then asked: "I don't know when Mr. Xue plans to go to the capital to participate in the Spring Festival?"

Xue Pan tentatively said, "I plan to go back to Beijing with the second master of the Jia family."

Seeing Lin Ping's complexion change very quickly, Xue Pan knew that the Lin family didn't want him to go with Miss Lin, so he said, "However, the Xue family still has some matters to deal with. If you don't rush to send this letter, I hope to go to the capital again after a while."

Lin Ping had already thought of a reason to delay Xue Pan for a while.The reason was that the Lin family hadn't sorted out the books that Lin Ruhai had given to Xue Pan, many of which were related to the imperial examination.After sorting it out and handing it over to Xue Pan, Xue Pan will go to the capital again.

Since Xue Pan said so, Lin Ping didn't say it.

Lin Ping said: "Don't worry, look at Mr. Xue's time. It's just that Mr. Xue doesn't miss Chunwei."

Xue Pan heard that this letter needs to be delivered before Chunwei.

Xue Pan saw that Lin Ping had nothing else to say, so he left first, and went directly to find an inn outside.

Originally, Xue Pan planned to stay in the Lin family for a longer period of time, send Lin Ruhai back to the funeral, and help Miss Lin.But since Lin Ruhai wanted him to hand over the letter, Xue Pan had to see what his plan was.

Xue Pan arrived at the inn, asked Fu'er to guard the door, and then directly opened the letter.

Xue Pan didn't open Miss Lin's letter before because he didn't need to open it.If he didn't open Miss Lin's letter, he could guess what was written inside.To him, Miss Lin's letter was a proof for him to win Lin Ruhai's trust. In fact, it didn't matter what she wrote.

Most importantly, he would be in trouble if he dismantled it.At that time, after he delivered the letter, Miss Lin was going to meet Master Lin.If he opened Miss Lin's letter, when Miss Lin met Master Lin, he would naturally expose him and lower his impression in the eyes of the Lin family.

But now Lin Ruhai's letter, he must open it.This letter is related to what he should do next.

He, Xue Pan, was a bully in his previous life, not a gentleman.He is not Lu An, so naturally he will not abide by the rules of etiquette, justice, benevolence, wisdom and trust like a scholar.It's also because he has performed too well in this life. Before, he kept the rules of the Lin family, and he did so for several years, misleading Lin Ruhai.

Xue Pan opened the letter and found two letters inside, one of which was addressed to the Minister of Rites, and the other had nothing written on it.

Xue Pan first read Lin Ruhai's letter to the Minister of Rites.

It was clearly stated in the letter that the Minister of Rites should present another letter to the emperor.In addition, the person who delivered the letter was his nephew, and I hope that the Minister of Rites will take care of him more.

When Xue Pan saw the letter, he was surprised at first, and then slightly happy.

For matters related to the royal family, no matter how small it is, it is a big deal.Lin Ruhai's letter was ultimately to be handed over to the emperor, but the Lin family didn't make it clear to themselves.In fact, it's just looking at myself when I'm young, and I'm cheating myself.

The reason for this joy is that Lin Ruhai didn't just throw it away when he used it up, but he still had kindness towards him.

Lin Ruhai is like this to herself, so what about Miss Lin?Will she have her own place in her heart and remember her goodness?

Xue Pan looked at Lin Ruhai's letter to the emperor, and guessed that it was Lin Ruhai's arrangement for Miss Lin.He thought over and over again, but still couldn't hold back, and opened the envelope.

This matter has something to do with the royal family, so he can't help without knowing it.Behind him is the Xue family, and he cannot implicate the Xue family.

Inside the envelope is a memorial.

Looking at the memorial, Xue Pan was a little thankful that he had read the book by himself.Otherwise, the memorial written by Tanhua, a former criminal, has concise and beautiful diction, and uses a lot of allusions, even he in the previous life could not understand it.

Xue Pan admired Lin Ruhai's article before beginning to read the content carefully.

After reading it, Xue Pan found out that Lin Ruhai was really an old fox who had calculated people's hearts to the extreme.With this memorial in the hands of the emperor, Miss Lin's life was basically guaranteed for the rest of her life, and the Jia family could never hurt her again.

Xue Pan was happy for Miss Lin.

However, Lin Ruhai's memorial really tricked him, which completely offended the Zhen family.

Moreover, the Lin family is an official family with many servants.The Lin family did not send the memorial themselves, but rather took the risk and let themselves send it, and handed it over to the emperor, which showed that the Lin family could not send the letter themselves.Xue Pan came to the conclusion that the Lin family should be targeted by the Zhen family, so has the Xue family been watched by the Zhen family?If you send this letter by yourself, will you be involved?Will it be risky?

Xue Pan has no idea!

In the previous life, the Zhen family was ransacked one step earlier than the Jia family. It is not known whether Lin Ruhai's hands and feet were among them.

Probably not, he didn't see any connection between Miss Lin and the royal family.Otherwise, with the conduct of the Jia family, they would not dare to covet the money of the Lin family, and they did not take good care of Miss Lin, so that she died of illness in the Jia family.

Then, without Lin Ruhai's intervention, the Zhen family would still be ransacked.That is to say, it is the trend of the times that Zhen's family is ransacked.And Lin Ruhai had already noticed it now, and got involved in it to seek protection for Miss Lin.He is far from having this insight.

Xue Pan used to yearn for the court, but now Lin Ruhai taught him a lesson, which made him feel more in awe of the court, and also made him more defensive.

A gentleman like Lin Ruhai is not always upright. Who knows what other people are like in private.

Do you want to deliver this letter for Lin Ruhai?Give it away, if the Zhen family finds out, the Xue family will be in danger.And after giving it away, Daiyu has a relationship with the royal family, so it will be even more difficult for him to marry Daiyu in the future.

Xue Pan hesitated for a while, but decided to give it away.

Not many people know about my friendship with the Lin family. As long as I am careful, the Zhen family should not find out.And even if they are discovered, they can find an excuse.He just said that he was attached to the Lin family before, but now that Lin Ruhai has passed away, he naturally has no friendship with the Lin family, leaving aside his relationship with the Lin family.

As for Daiyu, Xue Pan thought painfully, it doesn't matter if he doesn't marry Daiyu, as long as she can be safe and happy.

Xue Pan began to think carefully about his conversation with Lin Ping.

What Lin Ping meant was that he hoped that he would not go with Miss Lin, and set off after Miss Lin left, and hand over the memorial to the emperor before the start of the Spring Festival.

After thinking about it, Xue Pan understood why Lin Ping did this.

Originally, Xue Pan planned to stay at the Lin family for a longer period of time to help bury Lin Ruhai, and return to Jinling after Miss Lin settled down.But now that Jia Lian is here, there is someone in the Lin family to help.Moreover, if the Lin family is being watched by the Zhen family now, it would be better for him to distance himself from the Lin family.

As for the book that Lin Ruhai said in the letter, Xue Pan thought about it, and now he doesn't plan to take it.Let's talk about it later when there is a chance, so as not to make Zhen's family suspicious.

Xue Pan decided to go to Lin's house again, and made it clear to Lin Ping that he would bid farewell to Jia Lian and return to Jinling.

Xue Pan met Lin's family to find Lin Ping and told him that he was going back to Jinling.As for Mr. Lin's book, let's put it away first. Now that the Lin family is in a hurry, I won't add to the chaos. I will take it later when I have a chance, so I don't need to send it to Jinling.He planned to set off for the capital to participate in the Spring Festival in two months, and then he would not come to the Lin family to bid farewell.

Xue Pan went to Jia Lian again and said that he had something to do in Jinling. In the future, when he went to the capital to drink together, he said goodbye and went back to Xue's house.

After arriving at Xue's house, Xue Pan restored the letter, hid it well, stayed at home and kept out of the house, basically never going out, reading as usual every day, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Lin Ruhai was paralyzed for seven days.After Daiyu and Jia Lian took her coffin back to Suzhou for burial, they passed by Jinling and took Jiayu Village with them on their way back to Yangzhou.When I arrived in Yangzhou, I sorted out all the property at home.Then Jia Lian, Daiyu and Jia Yucun went to Kyoto by boat together.

I boarded a boat in Yangzhou and set off on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. When I arrived at Quaiguan in Huai'an, the boat was stopped.

Jia Lian was a little puzzled. He was on an official ship with the flag of the Rongguo Mansion flying on it. Usually, these barriers were directly released.

After the boat stopped, a group of soldiers boarded the boat directly and surrounded the boat.

The inspector came up behind the soldiers and said that he suspected that there were banned books on the ship and that a routine inspection was required.

Jia Lian was immediately angry.

He is the eldest son and grandson of the Rongguo Mansion, and he has never been wronged like this when he travels outside.Moreover, the flag of Rongguo Mansion was hanging brightly on the boat, and the inspector completely ignored Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Lian waved his hand directly, and Jing Ji led a group of brothers, holding knives, to stand in front of the soldiers.

As soon as Jia Lian moved, all the soldiers on the shore surrounded him, and the small boat on the water that could only accommodate five people also surrounded Jia Lian's boat tightly.
