[Red Chamber] Feijun does not "marry"

☆、Depart from Suzhou

"Uncle, don't be sad anymore. Both you and your sister are not in good health. If you are always sad like this, it will be better if you hurt your health." Jia Yu advised from the side.

"Yes, Daddy, you haven't recovered for long." Daiyu also wiped away her tears and helped Jia Yu persuade her father.

"Okay, they're all good kids, it's good that Cong'er is back." Lin Hai wiped his tears, patted Lin Cong's shoulder and said.

"My lord, is this really my lord?" Lin Yi, the housekeeper, had long noticed this boy who looked very similar to his lord when he was young.

"How can this be fake? Look at Cong'er's eyebrows, aren't they exactly the same as Min'er and Yu'er?" Lin Hai pointed to Lin Cong and Lin Daiyu for Lin Yi to see.

"Yes, yes, what the master said is true. The eyebrows and eyes of the uncle and the wife and the girl really look alike!" Lin Yi carefully looked at Lin Cong's appearance, and the more he looked, the more he looked like him.

Lin Yi couldn't help crying, thinking of the days when his wife was still alive. At that time, the relationship between the master and his wife was very good, and there was only one aunt in the backyard, who was the master's original roommate.Not long after they got married, the wife gave birth to a brother, who died when he was just over one year old. At that time, the master and wife were sad for a long time.

Fortunately, two years later, my wife became pregnant again, and now I have a girl, and my wife can be regarded as a consolation.Later, a year later, the aunt also gave birth to a brother, but he passed away before he even survived a hundred days.After the second brother died, the aunt went crazy, and after a few years, the wife also passed away due to illness.

Looking at Lin Cong's tall and straight appearance now, Lin Yi couldn't help but think of his soft appearance back then. Thinking of this, Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.He saw it when Brother Cong died, but why did Brother Cong stand in front of them so well.

Lin Yi looked at Lin Hai suspiciously, Lin Hai seemed to understand his doubts, but shook his head slightly, didn't say anything, and called Lin Yi to set up a meal, and celebrate today.

After everyone sat down, Jia Yu took out a jar of spiritual fruit wine to cheer up. Of course, he told Lin Hai that the people he brought were there to search for it, but he and Lin Daiyu naturally knew where it came from, and they had a tacit understanding between them. up.

After happily eating a meal, Lin Hai asked Lin Yi to call all the servants of the whole family to meet the uncle, and rewarded each of them with a month's extra money. The servants were happy when they got the benefits, plus I saw on the Internet that my master finally had a future, and I was also happy for him.

After the servants paid homage to Lin Cong, the Lin family was considered to have a grandpa.Lin Hai called Lin Cong, Jia Yu, and Daiyu into the study. He still had something to discuss with them. It is reasonable to say that usually such a situation would not call the girl at home, but Lin Hai called Daiyu since he was a child. As a boy's upbringing, he doesn't mean to shy away from her now.

"Daddy, what do you want to say at this hour?" Daiyu looked at Lin Ruhai curiously, it was already getting late, and she couldn't think of anything to make Daddy call them all over.

Jia Yu glanced at Lin Hai, then at Lin Cong, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"It's about Cong'er. Cong'er died lying in my arms back then. He was only a tiny bit old. At that time, he had just finished the ceremony of catching Zhou." When Lin Hai told this story of the past, the expression on his face It is extremely complicated, mixed with the pain of losing the parent and child at that time, the joy of getting the parent and child back now, and the regret that the beloved wife did not see the parent and child grow up.

"According to what my aunt said, then that 'Brother Cong' should be dead. But I can also be sure that the brother Cong in front of us is definitely my aunt's son, and his age is also comparable to that of 'Brother Cong', yes Undoubtedly, aunt and aunt are the parents." Jia Yu followed Lin Ruhai's words, he had been wondering about Lin Cong's life experience for a long time, and he was also not sure why Lin Cong would be exiled outside.

"Cong'er, you don't remember at all, do you?" Lin Hai had no hope that Lin Cong could remember, after all, he was only a little over one year old at the time.

Sure enough, Lin Cong shook his head. He has been in that organization since he could remember. He has undergone rigorous training and managed to survive.

"Did the body of 'Brother Cong' be sent back to Suzhou?" Jia Yu asked, tapping her chin with her index finger.

"Yes, it's already in the family's cemetery." Lin Hai looked at Jia Yu in confusion, and he knew that since Jia Yu asked this question, he might have thought of something.

"In fact, sometimes the dead can tell us more than the living, and the dead are much more honest than the living. At least they don't lie. Whether we can discover the information the dead leave us depends on our ability .” What Jia Yu said made the other people more or less baffled.

"Brother Yu means that we go back to Suzhou and find the body of 'brother' who was buried back then, so we can find clues from his body?" Lin Daiyu asked after thinking for a while.

Jia Yu nodded, she really deserves to be a talented woman of the generation, as expected, her wisdom is not comparable to that of ordinary people, and she can think fast enough.

Lin Hai was a little hesitant. After all, the dead are the most important, and he still pays attention to burying himself in the ground. Even if it was a child who died young, he couldn't bear to poke his grave.

"Uncle, don't you want to know why Brother Cong came back from the dead and what happened back then?" After Jia Yu finished speaking, she observed Lin Hai's expression and found that his expression had loosened a bit.

So, he continued: "Uncle, if we don't find out the source, if someone really wants to kill Uncle's heir, how can brother Cong and sister have a stable life?"

Hearing Jia Yu's words, Lin Hai's heart trembled.His intentions were good, but if because of his little kindness, something went wrong with his lost and recovered son and the daughter he held in his arms like jewels and treasures since he was a child, then it would be too late to regret.

"In a few days, let's set off. Cong'er also has to go back to his family to open an ancestral hall and recognize his ancestors. The blood of our Lin family cannot be left outside." Lin Hai finally put away his soft-heartedness and made up his mind Determined to investigate this matter to the bottom.

Jia Yu is fine now, anyway, there is no news from Beijing, and he is happy to do his best for the Lin family.

A few days later, Lin Hai took a carriage with the housekeeper Lin Yi, a carriage with Jia Yu and Lin Cong, a carriage with Daiyu, Hongxian, and Xueyan. carriage.So a group of six carriages embarked on the road from Yangzhou to Suzhou.

Yangzhou is not too far from Suzhou, but only four hundred miles away. If you ride a horse, you can get there in a little more than a day.It's just that the Lin family had a large number of people traveling this time, and there were also female relatives, and most of them took a carriage, so the speed was slower.

Jia Yu wasn't bored these days, so he used these three days to help Lin Cong get rid of the remaining poison on his body.Every day he took a small medicine stove and squatted on the carriage to boil medicine, and then gave Lin Cong injections when he was resting at night, which also drove out a lot of residual poison in his body.

On the evening of the third day, their carriage finally saw the gate of Suzhou City.

The butler Lin Yi commanded his servants to drive the carriage to the door of the old house of the Lin family, and his own servant went to report. After a while, the stewards of the old house of the Lin family went out to welcome Lin Hai and others.

"Master, you are back." Lin Xiang, the housekeeper of the old Lin family's house, hurried out of the mansion, and was even more excited when he saw Lin Hai.

"Well, I'm back. Is everything okay at home?" Lin Hai patted Lin Xiang on the shoulder. He went to Yangzhou to take up his post. Lin Xiang took care of everything in Suzhou for him, and he hasn't made any mistakes for many years. is not easy.

"All good, all good, who are these?" Lin Xiang said and saw Lin Cong, Dai Yu, Jia Yu and others following Lin Hai.

"This is our brother and sister. They have grown up, so they don't know each other. This is the third son of my second brother-in-law, Jia Yu." Lin Hai pointed out several juniors to Lin Xiang one by one.

Because Daiyu was taken to the capital by Jia Mu after she lost her mother, naturally she never went back to Suzhou after that.In a few years, Lin Daiyu's girl had undergone eighteen changes, except that her face still vaguely resembled her childhood appearance, but she couldn't find a trace of the same, and it was normal for Lin Xiang not to recognize her.

Lin Xiang looked at his sister and then went to see the brother his master said, he was puzzled.He naturally knew that his master had sons, but unfortunately they all died, and where did this brother come from.It's just that Lin Xiang, as the old servant of the Lin family, naturally only obeys Lin Hai's orders. As long as the master says yes, that is, even if it is a wild child picked up from the field, as long as the master admits, he is the brother of the Lin family.

The last time Lin Xiang saw Jia Yu, he was shocked by Jia Yu's appearance at first.This is really an exquisite son, he is worthy of being raised by a family like the Jia family.

Jia Yu's appearance has become more and more outstanding with the growth of age, and occasionally it will bring him a lot of trouble, but since the seven-year-old, he has already seen that he is a beauty, and he wants to be disabled when he grows up. It's not easy, unless he slashes his face twice.

And Jia Yu always had a half-smile expression on Jia Yu's face, and there was a little bit of teasing in those sparkling and affectionate peach eyes, which made Lin Xiang blush, and turned away quickly, this young man is really good-looking .

"Master, girls and brothers, go in quickly, don't blow the wind here." After saying that, Lin Xiang hurried to the front to lead the way, letting everyone in.

However, Lin Yi did not go in with the crowd. He directed the women and servants to put away the luggage, earthen instruments and other things they brought, and ordered the servants to quickly take care of the places where the masters live. Alright, now we entered the old house of the Lin family.

"Master, why did you bring your brothers and sisters back at this season?" Lin Xiang explained to Lin Hai all the things about the old house of the Lin family while walking, and then asked suspiciously.

"Well, I plan to let brother Cong recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors." Lin Hai said simply, and then skipped this topic.

Lin Xiang is also a well-behaved character, so he naturally understands the weight of this sentence, besides... Brother Cong... Lin Xiang's face flashed with thought.

After settling everyone down, Lin Xiang called all the servants of the old Lin family house, met the master, uncle, and girl, and introduced Jia Yu to the servants.

In the evening, Jia Yu Shi Shiran came to Lin Cong's yard, and saw Lin Cong practicing his sword with his upper body sweating profusely.Jia Yu didn't make a sound, and carefully looked at Lin Cong's routines. This set of swordsmanship can be seen as a murderous swordsmanship. Lin Cong has practiced eight points of essence, and he is worthy of being the dead soldier of Prince Yizhong. the leader.At Lin Cong's age, if he didn't have any skills, he might not be able to win.

Jia Yu smiled and patted her hands lightly, the sudden applause instantly caught Lin Cong's attention.

Lin Cong stopped his movements and looked at Jia Yu who was lazily leaning against the tree trunk and seemed to have been standing there for a long time.He always knew that Jia Yu was very strong, but he never thought that the gap between him and Jia Yu was so big, and he didn't notice Jia Yu's arrival at all.

Lin Cong pursed his lips, raised his sword as if attacking Jia Yu.Looking at Lin Cong who was approaching him quickly, Jia Yu didn't dodge or dodge, just stood there smiling with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.Lin Cong was startled, and when the tip of the sword was about to touch Jia Yu's chest, he hurriedly withdrew his sword, but obviously the speed with which he withdrew the sword was far behind the speed with which he drew it out.

Jia Yu casually stretched out two fingers and pinched the tip of Lin Cong's sword between his fingers, preventing Lin Cong's sword from advancing any further. Jia Yu looked at Lin Cong slyly, waiting for his next reaction.

Lin Cong looked at Jia Yu in shock, with unknown emotions in his eyes, he withdrew his sword from Jia Yu's hand, turned and walked into the house.

Jia Yu looked at Lin Cong's back and shook his head. He was still a young man. Even if he left the status of a dead soldier, he still had a lot to learn. If he wanted to support a family like the Lin family, he couldn't do it without any skills. I hope he can inherit Lin Hai's mantle in the future.

Jia Yu stood up straight and started to walk into Lin Cong's room. He saw that Lin Cong in the room had already wiped off the sweat on his body, put on a white coat and was sitting at the table drinking water.

Lin Cong looked up at him, then lowered his head again.

Jia Yu didn't care about Lin Cong's indifferent attitude, but stretched out her fingers to touch Lin Cong's wrist.Lin Cong was about to struggle subconsciously when he was caught at the gate of life, and then he relaxed when he realized that this person was Jia Yu.

After Jia Yu took the pulse, he called the servants in the room to prepare a bathtub for Lin Cong to take a bath, and he soaked the medicinal materials he brought specially into the bathtub one by one.Then let Lin Cong sit in the bathtub, and he gave Lin Cong the needle.

"Today is the last injection. For the next three days, you have to take a medicinal bath every day. After a while, you can go to my room to get the medicinal materials, one pack at a time. The poison is completely cured." Jia Yu While speaking, he plunged the silver needle into Lin Cong's acupuncture point.

To say that Prince Yizhong's method of controlling his subordinates is still good, Lin Cong must take the antidote for this poison once a month.If there is no antidote, the whole body will be itchy in the first month, making people want to scratch every inch of skin; in the second month, the whole body will fester and pus, making life worse than death; in the third month, bleeding will continue, Blood to death.

Moreover, the so-called antidote can't completely detoxify the poison, it can only alleviate it. On the night of the full moon, they will spend a night of pain all over their bodies.It’s just that the poison fell into Jia Yu’s hands, it’s not enough to see, and Jia Yu didn’t use many expensive medicinal materials, it’s just because of his high medical skills, he found a unique way, and he just drank medicinal juice, pricked needles, and soaked in medicinal baths. , Of course, that detoxification pill is absolutely indispensable.

"Who do you think harmed my Lin family?" After soaking for an hour, Lin Cong finally climbed out of the tub full of medicine, he hesitated and asked.

Lin Cong has never been a fool. On the contrary, he is very smart. Among the soldiers trained by Prince Yizhong, he was able to take the position of leader at the age of 13, and he was able to guarantee his own safety. A person with a brain can do it.

He naturally knew that it was extremely abnormal for him to be exiled from the Lin family, not to mention that his biological parents even thought he was dead at one point, and that "Brother Cong" who died in his father's arms. He couldn't help but think about it.

"It's a fox, it always shows its tail." Jia Yu evoked an inscrutable smile, left Lin Cong's room with a plausible sentence, it was almost midnight, and he was a little tired.

Lin Cong frowned and watched Jia Yu go out. His cousin's character seemed to be more and more difficult to figure out. He could still maintain a respectful appearance when he was with his elders, but when he was in front of their peers, Then he will always look like a bewildering monster.

Jia Yu went back to her room and was also thinking about Lin Cong's question, who is harming the Lin family.In fact, Jia Yu has several directions in mind, but there is still a lack of evidence, after all, he does not know who did such a conscienceless thing.

But Jia Yu knew that such a thing must be done by someone in the Lin Mansion, and it must be a person who can get in touch with the child, and the most motivated person in the entire Lin Mansion is nothing but that person.

The next day, Lin Hai ordered the servants in the old house of the Lin family to prepare a series of matters for opening the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors. No matter what happened, it was imperative for Lin Cong to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan. Will leave his only heir outside.

And soon some relatives of the Lin family heard that Lin Hai had returned with his son and daughter. The fact that Lin Hai had only one daughter was known to the entire Lin family, so many people were thinking about Lin Hai's heir or Lin Daiyu. The master of the only daughter.

Now I heard that he brought back a son, this news almost made the Lin clan boil.If this Lin Hai has a queen, then what excuse will they use in the future to get half of the huge property of the Lin family.

Therefore, early in the morning, Lin Tao, the patriarch of the Lin clan, brought a few elders of the clan to the door. If the ancestor returns to the clan, the ancestral hall must be opened through the clan.

It is said that Lin Tao and Lin Hai are of the same generation, and they are the patriarchs of the Lin family in Gusu.The ancestors of Lin Tao and Lin Hai are direct brothers, and Lin Hai's is the younger brother.The younger brother was rewarded by the sage for his meritorious service, so he was granted the title of marquis. After that, three generations of princes succeeded him. Because of the emperor's long grace and virtue, he went far ahead of the previous generation, with extra grace, and became the father of Ruhai, and another generation succeeded him.But Lin Hai's generation naturally has no title to inherit, so he took part in the scientific examination and was a high school candidate.Although Lin Hai's branch is the Zhongding family, it is also a scholarly family.

Speaking of which, Lin Tao's branch and Lin Hai's branch can only be regarded as the same clan, but they are already Tang clans, not even four generations of collateral blood relatives.Now he came to ask the Lin family about letting Lin Cong recognize his ancestor and return to his clan, but he was just taking the name of the patriarch.

Although the Gusu Lin family is a big family, the Lin Hai family is the most prominent among several generations.Lin Hai is not usually a stingy person, he will help if he can help, contribute his efforts, money and money, and help others. It can be said that Lin Hai is still very good to these relatives on weekdays.

"Brother Hai, I heard that you brought back a brother and plan to recognize your ancestors?" Lin Tao smiled flatteringly. Although he is the patriarch, he is not as good as Lin Hai after all.

"Yes, patriarch. I'm planning to take Cong'er to visit. It's a big deal to recognize the ancestors and return to the clan. Naturally, the clan should open an ancestral hall to worship the ancestors." Lin Hai nodded and said.

"Where is the origin of Brother Cong?" Lin Tao's eyes flashed with thought, the word "Cong"...

"Cong'er is of course my own flesh and blood, but he was left outside, and I finally got him back after a lot of hard work." Lin Hai said lightly, picked up the tea bowl in his hand, and took a sip.

"But Brother Hai, forgive me for speaking bluntly as a brother. Didn't this brother Cong die young and is still buried in the ancestral grave? If you say that this brother is also Brother Cong, then the one in the cemetery Who is it?" Lin Tao is not an idiot, he knew that Lin Hai didn't like to mention this, but he still asked reluctantly, just because it was profitable.

"I don't know about that, maybe he has to come out and say it himself." Although Lin Hai's tone was light, he couldn't hide the darkness and depth in his eyes. This dark nail in the Lin family had to be removed.

Lin Tao was taken aback by Lin Hai's words, and looked at him like a madman, how could this dead body speak.

"The patriarch thought I was joking? Hehe, I will invite everyone to be a witness." After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, he picked up the tea bowl again, which meant serving tea to the guests.

Lin Tao made fun of himself, shook his head, and followed several patriarchs out of the old house of the Lin family. Everyone was immersed in the shock of Lin Hai's just few words. What did that "Brother Cong" say?

"Aunt has an idea?" Jia Yu came in and sat under Lin Hai's hands after the people from the Lin clan had left.

Lin Hai smiled faintly, and said: "The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit. What is unclear about this, it is nothing more than a word of profit."

Jia Yu nodded, these words pointed out the essence of the whole matter, they said that it would be profitable if there was no benefit.
