Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Chapter 160 Chapter 160

After Lin Ruhai received Jia Yucun's post, he was very puzzled. When Zhen's mother and Yinglian mother and daughter returned to their hometowns, Daiyu took care of her and Jia Yucun was involved. Yucun tried Feng Yuan's case in vain. He knew Jia Yucun's true nature, and he was very ashamed of him. After returning to Beijing, he lived in seclusion, even if he occasionally met Jia Yucun at some banquets, he kept his distance.

Jia Yucun is a man who is not profitable, so he must have some kind of plan to invite him this time, but he has retired now, and he doesn't want to get involved in anything, so naturally he won't go to the banquet, so he wrote a reply, He only said that he was sick and couldn't go out, so he politely declined. After finishing writing, he called the housekeeper and asked, "Is the person who sent the post from Jia Sima's house still there?"

The old housekeeper hurriedly said: "I have invited you to the side hall to serve tea, what orders does the master have?"

Lin Ruhai handed the reply to him, and ordered: "Go and tell the visitor, just say that I am sick and cannot go out."

The old butler agreed, took the post and gave it to the steward of Jia Yu Village, saying: "My master thank you Mrs. Jia for your kindness, but it is inconvenient to go out because of his poor health these few days, please forgive me."

The steward frowned immediately after hearing this, and said, "Then I wonder when Master Lin will have the energy to meet guests?"

The old housekeeper said: "It's hard to say. My master's chronic illness has not healed. He has been taking care of him carefully these years. Two days ago, he caught a cold and contracted an old illness. The doctor has repeatedly told him to rest carefully and not to bother him."

The steward's face immediately changed when he heard this, and he was very displeased. As the saying goes, Jia Yucun is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door. I have never seen such a disrespectful person, and the expression turned cold immediately, and said: "My master sincerely invites you, but Mr. Lin shirks it in every possible way. It is too disrespectful."

Butler Lin is such a character, he has seen a lot of the world, I don't know how many powerful people he has seen, how could he take his threat to heart, and said calmly: "My master is really not good. Mr. Jia has always been polite. If you want to hold a banquet, you can wait until my master recovers, so why rush for a while."

The steward was at a loss for words for a while, unwilling to leave with a sullen face, and when he came back, he added fuel and vinegar to Jia Yucun, saying: "The Lin family is really deceiving people, even a housekeeper is so arrogant, he doesn't take adults seriously at all!"

After Jia Yucun heard this, his face immediately sank. He has been in a high position these years and is used to being flattered.

The more he can't tolerate anyone disobeying him, now Lin Ruhai doesn't give him any face, and he is naturally very angry in his heart, sneering: "Since he doesn't come, I will visit him, and you tell Lin Ruhai, just say that I am waiting for him, when will he come?" When I recover from illness, I don't believe that he will be ill for a lifetime!"

Immediately, he took up a pen and wrote a greeting card, and ordered the steward to send it to Lin's residence.

The steward handed over the post arrogantly, and said with a smile: "My lord has said that Mr. Lin only cares about the health and well-being. When he is healthy, my lord will come to visit again. No matter how long it takes."

The old housekeeper's face was slightly condensed when he heard the words, he turned his head and ordered the servants to serve tea, then turned and went to the backyard.

Lin Ruhai was reading a book in the study, the old butler stepped forward to submit a post, and then relayed what the butler said.

Lin Ruhai took the post and looked at it for a while, and his heart was full of doubts. Jia Yucun wanted to see him again and again. Why?

Seeing this, the old housekeeper said: "Since the master doesn't want to see you, it's better to excuse your illness."

Lin Ruhai was silent when he heard the words, Jia Yucun's insistence on seeing him this time must not be a good thing, but in the current situation, it is impossible to avoid it. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said: "The other party is not kind. I can avoid it once, and avoid it once." It won’t be the second time, since he has already submitted the post, there is no reason to reject it, that’s all, you reply to the person, just say that I will wait for Master Jia in three days.”

So I replied to the post and ordered the housekeeper to hand it over to the person who came.

When Jia Yucun got the reply, he was very proud of himself, and said, "It's considered interesting."

On the appointed day, Jia Yucun came to Lin's mansion in a soft sedan chair. He arrived at the gate in half a day, and saw two big stone lions squatting outside the gate from a distance. Come in.

As soon as I entered the main courtyard, I saw hand-painted verandahs on all sides. In the middle is the hallway.Turning around the screen, there is another big yard with four big osmanthus trees, and there are side doors on the verandas around.

When you go up the steps, you will find the Yimen on the second floor. The long-covered hall and the surrounding corridors will make you feel more grand and grand, and its grandeur is even higher than that of Rongning and Ningfu.

This seven-entry compound was built by the ancestor of the Lin family when he became a Marquis. It has been settled for a hundred years, and it is low-key and not luxurious.

There are so many royal relatives and nobles in Beijing, and the good location and good house have long been owned. There are few places in the capital that are as spacious and magnificent as the Lin family's mansion.

The more Jia Yucun looked at it, the angrier he became, envious and jealous, Lin Ruhai was born

In Liehou's family, he was born in a noble family, his official career was smooth all the way, and he was able to be honored and raised as a first-rank official in the end.

However, he himself was born in a poor family. After decades of hard work, he managed to earn his current family business. Even though he has become the chief minister, his family can only live in a small house with four entrances.

The more Jia Yucun thought about it, the more he felt that God was unfair. Thinking of his downfall when he was a teacher in the Lin family, he became more and more jealous of Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai was already waiting at the gate of the main courtyard. When they met for a while, they invited them to sit down and serve tea.

After exchanging pleasantries, Jia Yucun stepped into the topic and said with a smile, "I'm here today to congratulate the boss."

Lin Ruhai was startled when he heard the words, and said, "Brother Yucun was joking, I'm already quite old, where does the joy come from?"

Jia Yucun laughed, and said: "Your Majesty's demeanor is still the same as before, so why should you be too modest, I was entrusted by someone to be a matchmaker today."

Lin Ruhai was very astonished, never expecting that Jia Yucun came here to be a matchmaker, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Yucun is kind enough to accept it, but I am over sixty years old, and I have no intention of continuing."

Jia Yucun didn't take Lin Ruhai's refusal to heart at all, and waved his hands and said, "My lord, don't refuse in a hurry, what I'm talking about is not a common rouge fan, but the cousin of General Liu Yuan, the first aunt of Empress Li. .

That girl was in the age of plum blossoms, she was born with a dignified appearance and a charming demeanor, and she was also literate, dexterous, and skilled in both calligraphy and painting.

The old lady of General Liu Yuan's family found my wife and repeatedly asked me to make this marriage happen. Because it is inconvenient for my wife to come forward, she asked me to be the matchmaker! "

He had a very good plan in his mind, if Lin Ruhai agreed, his reputation of being upright and upright would not be preserved. For an old man in his sixties to marry a young girl, it would be a romantic affair at best for others, but Lin Ruhai always behaved with integrity. The image of a gentleman is shown to others, and once this happens, the so-called upright gentleman will be reduced to a laughing stock.

If Lin Ruhai refuses to agree, he will offend himself and Li Fei's family, and the loss outweighs the gain.

Lin Ruhai glanced at Jia Yucun's calculating eyes, sneered in his heart, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that I will disappoint Yucun's kindness, and I have no intention of remarrying after my self-deprecating Jing's death. The girl is for life, so there is no need to mention the matter of getting married."

When Jia Yucun heard the words, his expression was a little displeased, and he said: "My lord's words are wrong. People who are not flirtatious are in vain for young people.

Today, the girl really admires her, and because the adults don't mind the age difference at all, it's better not to let her down. "

Jia Yucun's tone was condescending, completely lacking the humility of begging for help back then.

Lin Ruhai's complexion also faded, and he said: "Brother Yucun really has a heart, he is always thinking of me, it seems that I am very much looking forward to my agreeing to this marriage."

Jia Yucun Quandang couldn't hear the sarcasm in the words, he still looked as usual, and said with a smile: "My lord is serious, I just think that this Qian girl is both talented and beautiful, and has a valuable character. She is a rare spouse. As the saying goes, there are three ways to be unfilial. No successor is the greatest, the adults are outstanding, if there are no successors, it would be a pity to cut off cigarettes."

This is almost a blatant mockery of the Lin family's demise. No matter how well-behaved Lin Ruhai is, he got really angry at this moment, and immediately turned cold, and said lightly: "Although I have no children, but fortunately, my daughter and son-in-law are filial, and the affairs behind me don't bother you. , since your lord loves this girl so much, why not bring her into the mansion, this is the best of both worlds."

Jia Yucun might as well have Lin Ruhai's words so sharp, blushing immediately, and said: "I am so kind, but the boss doesn't appreciate it, it's really disappointing!"

Lin Ruhai was annoyed in his heart, and he was no longer polite, he just picked up the teacup to see off the guests, and said: "I don't bother Da Sima to worry about the family affairs of my Lin family, it's not good for me, so I can't accompany you any longer."

Seeing that Lin Ruhaiquan didn't take him seriously, Jia Yucun satirized him for meddling in his own business, and became angry for a moment, saying: "In that case, my lord can do it for himself!" After saying that, he got up angrily, and walked away.

The old steward waited for Jia Yucun to go away before entering the study. Seeing Lin Ruhai frowning and thinking with a cup of tea, he couldn't help worrying, hesitatingly said: "Master, Mr. Jia is not a person of measure. Now that he offended him, I'm afraid..."

Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and said, "Arrange two people to watch over Jia Yucun's mansion, report any movement quickly, and find some smarter people to get rid of the evidence of Jia Yucun's family bullying and disregarding human life." Find out, as well as the old lady of the Liu family, and ask people to investigate carefully, and if there are crimes against the law, they will also be collected."

He is well aware of Jia Yucun's nature of vengeance, and he was able to go to high school because of Zhen Shiyin's kindness back then. However, in Xue Pan's case, he knew that Yinglian was the benefactor's daughter, but he pretended not to know it. Judgment, it can be seen that this person is ungrateful, ambitious and narrow-minded.

I refuted his face severely this time, and I must take revenge and collect these crimes.

The certificate can also be prepared.

Although he seldom went out in the past few years, he has been secretly paying attention to the movement in Beijing, especially after knowing that Jia Yucun and Jia's house have close contacts, he pays more attention to it.

It's a strange thing to say, Jia Yucun's city mansion is deep, scheming, and ruthless. He can be called a hero, but the sons he gave birth to are typical playboys, with mediocre aptitude, and they can't do anything without writing. Relying on Jia Yucun's power, he caused countless catastrophes. If Jia Yucun had not been in high position and powerful, he would have died countless times.

As for the Liu family, he doesn't know much about it, but he has also heard about the case of the Jia family and the Liu family retiring because of their divorce. Since the old lady of the Liu family got mixed up with Jia Yucun's family, she still made such a thing today. Come, but also have to guard against.

The old housekeeper's heart trembled when he heard the words, and said, "Don't worry, master, I'll make arrangements right away."

However, after more than half a month, there was no movement in Jia Yucun, and it seemed that the flag had died down.

Lin Ruhai was puzzled, but he didn't relax. He still ordered people to watch carefully and pay attention to Jia Yucun's movements.

After a few days, they found out that Jia Yucun betrothed a concubine daughter whom he loved very much to Concubine Li's younger brother Liu Chang, and the two married.

It turned out that Jia Yucun saw that although the Liu family was the home of the new prosperity, Liu Yuan had a good relationship with the king of Dongping County, and Concubine Li was favored in the palace and she was pregnant. If she gave birth to a prince, he would make friends early. If you say more, maybe you can support an emperor.

Even if Concubine Li does not give birth to a prince in the future, he will only lose a concubine daughter and there will be no hindrance.

However, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qian originally wanted to marry Gu Ling for Liu Chang, but they couldn't get in. Among the people they found, there was no one who could talk to Gu's mansion. Instead, he hired the daughter of Jia Yucun.

Jia Yucun holds the military power and has a high position and authority. Although she is a concubine, she has always been favored, and she is no different from a descendant.

Mrs. Liu here couldn't help sneering after hearing the news, she said she didn't like concubine daughters because she didn't have enough power, the Rong Mansion was in decline, but Jia Yucun was in charge of the army and horses, so Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qian were naturally eager to climb up.

Although Mrs. Liu didn't go out much, she had also vaguely heard about the affairs of Jia Yucun's mansion, and knew that it was not a well-behaved family.

Later, Liu Yuan went to the Xishan camp to train soldiers, and only came back once a month or two. Mrs. Liu sent a letter to Xishan, but Liu Yuan didn't reply at all.

Annoyed, Mrs. Liu simply ignored her, and just watched Old Madam Liu die. Anyway, her daughter has already left the court. She has been in office with her husband all these years, and the reputation of the Liu family will not hurt her.
