The next day, Lin Jian left the General's Mansion early in the morning and went to the West Garden to pay his respects to Lin Hong and Mrs. Qiao.

Before he could say a few words, Lin Hongqiao asked him about his trip to Rongguo Mansion yesterday.

"Is Miss Lin doing well in Jia's mansion?"

Lin Jian hesitated for a moment before saying, "I only went once, so I can't tell."

Of course he didn't say it was bad, but when he saw Lin Daiyu, Lin Jian was thinking about Lin Daiyu's otherworldly appearance, and he felt that talking about Lin Hong and Qiao Shi behind his back seemed to be all about her. kind of blasphemy.

But Lin Hong didn't buy it, and stared at Lin Jian again: "What do you mean you can't say it well? Just tell me the truth about what you saw and heard. Could it be that this also stumps you?"

Qiao Shi also urged him aside, obviously the couple were sincerely concerned about Lin Daiyu's situation.

Lin Jian thought for a while, and told Lin Hong and Qiao Shi what he saw at the Rongguo Mansion.

"The old lady in the Rongguo Mansion is very kind to Miss Lin, but she seems to completely regard Miss Lin as a member of the Jia family. Not only does she think so, but Rongguo Mansion also thinks so from top to bottom. of."

Lin Hong has a violent temper, and he can control himself not to lose his temper by focusing on self-cultivation and self-cultivation on weekdays, but what Lin Jian said hit his lungs hard. Being treated like this, Lin Hong immediately became angry.

He asked Mrs. Qiao to go to Rongguo Mansion when he opened his mouth: "Madam, you go to Jia's house right away and bring Miss Lin to live with us."

"Girls who have already reached Ji's family, even aunts and cousins ​​should avoid it. How can they meet in such a big way? Then Miss Lin's reputation is still there? How can she marry in the future?"

"That Jia Baoyu is also a bastard! How can the poems of the girl in the boudoir be passed on? If it is written down by someone who cares about it, and is moved with thoughts that should not be moved, can his Jia family protect Miss Lin! It is to cherish her." Talent, shouldn't hurt her like this!"

Lin Hong had met Jia Baoyu. Although he had only met Jia Baoyu once at a certain banquet, and had never spoken to him or had close contact with him, Lin Hong had heard many rumors about Jia Baoyu. He didn't like a family that raised a boy as a girl, so Lin Hong, who already had a bad impression of Jia Baoyu, felt even more disgusted with Jia Baoyu.

Lin Hong scolded Jia Baoyu for being a jerk, and Lin Jian agreed, but when Lin Hong asked Mrs. Qiao to pick up Lin Daiyu, Lin Jian hurriedly said no.

Joe also said it was inappropriate.

Mrs. Qiao has never met Jia Baoyu, but she also knows that Jia Baoyu is the most precious son of the Jia family who was born with jade.

"My lord, Miss Lin has lived in Rongguo Mansion for so many years, we big lala will force her to come here, don't say that we can't make it up, even the Jia family may not be willing to let her go! Moreover, the Jia family The old lady raises her like this, maybe it's because she wants to—”

Mrs. Qiao wanted to say that Mother Jia raised Lin Daiyu by her side without avoiding suspicion. It is very likely that she wanted to promise Lin Daiyu to Jia Baoyu, but Mrs. Qiao couldn't say this in front of Lin Jian. Then he passed vaguely, saying that it was not appropriate to pick up at this time.

Lin Jian didn't notice this, and he also persuaded Lin Hong: "Father, mother is right. Besides, I also told the old lady of Jia's mansion yesterday that both parents want to get close to Miss Lin. It is not convenient for you to come to Jia I have also negotiated with the old lady of Jia's mansion, you can send someone to Jia's mansion to invite Miss Lin to our West Garden as a guest. After going back and forth, everyone gradually became familiar, and Miss Lin knows what is good or bad. After a long time, she also Naturally, we know who is sincerely treating her well. When she wants to leave Jia's mansion and live in our house, it's up to parents to show up."

"Now such a big lala picks up people, not to mention that the old lady of Jia's mansion is not willing, and Miss Lin herself may not be willing."

Lin Hong calmed down slowly. Although he was reluctant, he finally nodded: "Okay, I also know that this matter needs to be discussed in the long term."

Lin Hong secretly planned that when Lin Daiyu came back to Gusu, he would invite Lin Daiyu to the mansion, and bring Qiao Shi together to slowly get acquainted with Lin Daiyu.

Lin Hong and Qiao's husband and wife were deeply attached to Lin Daiyu, and they were busy with the July Festival, so they didn't bother to ask Lin Jian about it.

After the July Festival of the Lin family, Lin Hong and Qiao learned that Lin Daiyu was going to Yangzhou to deal with Lin Ruhai's funeral. Like Lin Jian, even though they knew that Jia Lian would go to Yangzhou with Lin Daiyu, they were still very worried.

Lin Hong even planned to send some Lin family guards to Lin Daiyu's side to protect her safety.

However, this proposal was rejected by Lin Jian.

Lin Jian said lightly, "Father, you don't need to worry about it. I just set off for Yangzhou that day. I can take care of Miss Lin as I see fit along the way."

Speaking of which, Xiao Yu really did not disappoint Lin Jian. Just after the July Festival of the Lin family, news of him and Emperor Chengsheng's imperial decree reached Lin Jian.

Emperor Chengsheng appointed Lin Jian to inspect the salt affairs of Yangzhou.This is a temporary position, dedicated to Yangzhou's salt affairs, and it will be removed when the work in Yangzhou is over.But Lin Jian doesn't care about that much, as long as he can justifiably take charge of the Yangzhou salt department right now.

Speaking of which, Emperor Chengsheng really put a lot of thought into arranging this errand for Lin Jian.This time, Lin Jian went back to the capital to report on his work. After the evaluation according to the rules, Lin Jian should go back to southern Anhui.

However, in order to arrange an errand for Lin Jian, Emperor Chengsheng said that Lin Jian was excellent in the evaluation, and now that there is no war in Taiping in southern Anhui, he planned to give Lin Jian an errand for Lin Jian to practice again, so that Yangzhou Salt Affairs was established. Inspection section.

Lin Hong didn't know what was going on. Seeing that Lin Jian didn't go to ask for money from the household department, he just thought that Lin Jian had listened to his words, so he didn't think about it. He thought, as long as Lin Jian didn't go back to Wannan, There is nothing wrong with going to Yangzhou for some experience, so he told Lin Jian to investigate the case carefully and take good care of Lin Daiyu along the way.

Under the appointment of Emperor Chengsheng, Lin Jian went to Yangzhou to investigate the case this time as an imperial envoy, and he could sail all the way from Duzhong to Yangzhou.

Lin Jian was on a business trip. In addition to his entourage, he also brought ten guards from the Lin family, all of whom had been on the battlefield and served as Lin Hong's personal guards. Naturally, they were more effective than the official sent by the imperial court.

In addition to the official errands, there is also the official ship assigned to him by the imperial court. Xiao Yu secretly manages all the necessary expenses for him, and Lin Jian does not need to worry about it at all.

There is only one thing. On the day of departure, the two official ships assigned by the imperial court to Lin Jian were unable to land at the dock because other ships occupied the dock. Jian reported the letter.

Lin Jian stood on the pier with his hands behind his back. He was condescending, and he had already seen the whole situation in his eyes. Compared with the deputy who was anxious to get angry, he was obviously very calm.

Lin Jian didn't even move his eyebrows, and signaled his deputy to rest beside him, don't be too anxious to get angry.

"Master Zhao, don't worry, it's the boat of the Jia family," Lin Jian pointed with his hand, and said with a smile, "They are also going to Yangzhou, and they will sail soon. We must go together on this journey, we don't have to Worry, wait for them to leave, let's get on the boat again."

This Mr. Zhao Yuan Zhao was transferred from the Ministry of Industry, and it was Xiao Yu who slipped in secretly.

Although Lin Jian did not confront the Ministry of Household Affairs head-on, his new method still attracted a lot of attention. The entourage he went to Yangzhou to investigate the case this time were all assigned by the imperial court.Those who stared at Lin Jian stuffed a lot of people into it.

Xiao Yu seized the opportunity and found Lin Jian a mild-mannered Zhao Yuan as his deputy. In this way, no matter how disobedient others were, Zhao Yuan could help Lin Jian a lot. Lin Jian was holding back everywhere.

Zhao Yuan is middle-aged, but his grade is a bit lower than Lin Jian's, and he doesn't dare to show off in front of Lin Jian because of his character, so Lin Jian just waited when he said he would.

They waited quietly on this side, but the movement of two official ships moored outside was not small, and Jia Lian was quickly alarmed.

Jia Lian didn't know that today's 'accident' was a 'coincidence' created by Lin Jian, he just thought it was the boat in their house that really blocked the way of the official boat.

It stands to reason that the Jia Mansion does not need to be cautious in the capital.In the name of the Duke's Mansion, Jia Lian and his like are mostly let them go when they go out, so why have they ever let others?

When he first heard that there were two official ships moored outside, Jia Lian didn't take it seriously, and told his family to ignore it and just prepare their own.

But when someone said that the two official ships outside carried the flag of Lin and the imperial envoy, Jia Lian's heart was agitated, and he immediately remembered that the young master of the Lin family had been hand-picked for inspection by the Yangzhou Salt Bureau, and he said that he would leave soon. Will leave the capital and go to Yangzhou to investigate the case. From the looks of it, that young master and them set off on the same day!

Others can refuse to let it go, but how dare this Xiaohou Lin, who was born in the General's Mansion, refuse to let him go?

Jia Lian knew that Young Master Lin was a stubborn stubble, and he was different from the others. After hesitating for a moment, Jia Lian could only bite the bullet and come out of the cabin, ordering the family servants to clean up quickly, and at the same time, he came to the pier to see Lin Jian and apologize.

Jia Lian only knew that a few days ago this young Lord Lin came to visit Lin Daiyu, and he occasionally heard the discussion between the leader and Sister Feng, and those who had seen him said that this young Lord Lin was very good-looking, but he didn't take it seriously. , a kid who has not yet reached the championship and is a kid who grew up in the military camp, where can he look so good?

Looking up today, Jia Lian knew that he was a frog in a well.He just glanced at it, but couldn't take his eyes off, stopped involuntarily, stood at the bottom of the steps and looked at Lin Jian above in a daze.

Lin Jian was wearing a newly made cyan official uniform today, with the unique embroidered print on the chest of civilian official uniforms. The cyan official uniform looked generous and restrained, elegant and calm on other people, but he wore it to outline a youthful and graceful figure.

It was sweltering and hot during the dog days, but Jia Lian felt that Lin Jian's blue dress was as icy as jade in a cold pool, refreshing his heart, and just watching him quietly for a moment could dispel the heat.

Jia Lian's heart that loves the beautiful boy couldn't help but be moved.
