[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

At the beginning of September, Lin Daiyu, who had been recuperating quietly for half a month, recovered a lot, and Jia Lian decided to set off to return to the capital.

Lin Jian's official duties were not yet finished, and he still had to do some finishing work in Yangzhou, so he could not go back yet, so Jia Lian had to take Lin Daiyu back to the capital first.After all, the weather is good at this time, even though there is some residual heat, it is still very cool. Afterwards, the weather will be cold, not to mention the inconvenience of boating on the road, and it will not be good for Lin Daiyu's health.

Jia Lian was a little nervous about the incident that Prince Teng sent killers to attack and kill in the middle of the night. Afraid that there would be another accident on the way back, she came to Lin Jian to borrow someone, and asked to borrow two guards from the Lin family, hoping to get their protection along the way. Return to the capital safely.

Lin Jian was very forthright and asked Qian Ying to assign two guards to Jia Lian. However, he also asked Qian Ying to secretly tell them that Jia Lian's safety should be the second priority. The most important thing is to protect Miss Lin's safety.

When I came here, I went all the way down the river, and I arrived in Yangzhou in less than half a month, but I went against the river from Yangzhou back to the capital. The autumn rain continued along the way, and there were flood peaks blocking the way from time to time. The way back this time took a whole month.

Lin Daiyu's health is not very good every autumn. In autumn, she often coughs and feels weak. This time she came back from Yangzhou. When she was on the pier, she was still blown by the wind, and she had a headache just after returning to Rongguo Mansion.

In order not to be rude, Lin Daiyu insisted on going to greet Mrs. Jia Muwang and others, and personally distributed the special gifts brought back from Gusu to all the sisters in the garden. After a lot of tossing, she finally couldn't hold on She fell ill again, and when Mother Jia heard the news, she hurriedly asked a doctor to treat her. In such a hurry, Mother Jia, who had received the news earlier, would not be able to talk about the incident in Yangzhou with a patient.

The things in Yangzhou and Gusu did not go as planned by Jia's mother. Jia's mother was angry and anxious, but Lin Daiyu was her granddaughter who grew up with pain in her heart. This anger had nowhere to vent, and when she saw Jia Lian coming in to greet her, she put the blame on Jia Lian.

"What did I tell you when you left? I said that sister Lin was weak and asked you to take good care of her. What did you do? Let her worry about it. In just three short months, she was sick. It's been several times! How did you take care of her when she became ill just after she came back?"

Jia Mu didn't cry out, and Jia Lian couldn't get up. She could only kneel and listen to Jia Mu's reprimand.

It's just that Jia's mother blamed him for this, and Jia Lian felt a little uncomfortable when she heard it: "My ancestors blamed me, and I don't dare to tell what. But how I treat Sister Lin, my ancestors will know by asking the people who went with me. I As long as there is one thing that is not wholehearted, the ancestors will be fined or punished, but I just hope that the ancestors will not get angry because of me."

Mother Jia sighed softly, and looked at Jia Lian again: "Your sister Lin has been weak since she was a child, and I know that she has to make such a fuss several times every autumn. It's all right, it's not your fault."

"But Lian'er, when you were leaving, I told you that you will be in charge of Mr. Lin's funeral. Why did I hear that when I arrived in Yangzhou, it seemed that Yu'er was in charge of everything? She is a girl. How can you let her make up her mind because she is weak and has never experienced anything? You let me do the serious things I told you, and you didn’t go back to Gusu with your sister. Is Grandpa on an errand?"

"The general merchants in Yangzhou have always had a good relationship with the Xue family, and they also have contacts with the Wang family. Although they are not our own family members, they can't be offended. You took their money. You are not helping outsiders fight The face of our own family? The master of the Wang family wrote to ask, but I don’t even know how to answer!”

When Jia Lian saw that Jia's mother kept blaming him for not doing well, but she didn't say a word about his assassination in Yangzhou that night, not even a word of concern, he felt a little angry in his heart.

When YouQi heard the word Wang's family, his anger went straight to his head.

"I dare not forget the instructions of my ancestors for a moment. It's just that when I was away from home, the situation was stronger than other people. The young master of the Lin family came to look for me with someone, saying that he took care of all Miss Lin's affairs and didn't want me to intervene. If I don't obey, I will turn against me immediately, I dare not offend him, so I can only take a step back."

Jia Lian was determined to anger Jia Mu, so he didn't need to add fuel to the picture, anyway, what Lin Jian said that day was arrogant enough, he directly told Jia Mu what he said, and Jia Mu's complexion really sank.

"The young master of the Lin family was ordered to go to Yangzhou to handle the case. Why did he even take care of our family affairs? He left you in Yangzhou, but he went to Gusu with Yu'er. What does this mean? Could it be that he was confused? Did you even disregard the emperor's order?"

This is really something that puzzled Jia's mother.Ordinarily, the son raised by the old general Lin Honglin would not be so ignorant, but the facts were in front of her eyes, she couldn't help but believe it.

Jia Lian was angry and spoke more and more bluntly: "The young master of the Lin family said that Lin Yushi's belongings belonged to Gusu Lin's family, so they should belong to Miss Lin herself, not our Jia family's. Miss Lin only complies with the rules when she handles it herself."

Just these two sentences made Jia's mother choke for a long time.

Jiamu's face was unnatural for a moment, as if she was uncomfortable being punctured in public.

She asked Jia Lian to go to Yangzhou and Gusu with Lin Daiyu, apparently to take care of Lin Daiyu, but in fact, she went there for the things Lin Ruhai left behind.Lin Ruhai entrusted Lin Daiyu to her, who would keep the Lin family's things if she didn't keep them?

What's more, she has already made arrangements for Lin Daiyu's life in her heart. Sooner or later, those things will belong to Jia's family, so there is nothing wrong with holding them in her hands now.But she had a good plan, but on the way, a young master of the Lin family came out, ruined her plan, and was easily punctured.

Jia Mu pondered for a long time, and then said, "That's all. Lian'er, you don't have to worry about it. Go back and rest."

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is useless to scold Jia Lian again. Jia's mother plans to take a long-term view.Anyway, the Lin family's property is held in Lin Daiyu's hands, and now Lin Daiyu is living in the garden. If she thinks about other ways, those things will still belong to the Jia family sooner or later.

Jia's mother sent Jia Lian away, and then took out the letter written by Wang Ziteng to read. Right now, nothing else is urgent, only the matter of Lin Jian is imminent.Just like Wang Ziteng said in the letter, if Lin Jian is not made into their own, Lin Jian will ruin their event sooner or later.

Jia Lian came out all the way and went back to his and Wang Xifeng's residence.

Wang Xifeng and Ping'er were packing the luggage brought back by Jia Lian, and said that the weather was getting colder, so he took this opportunity to clean up the warehouse, and prepared all the clothes of her and Jia Lian's big hair. Get busy words.

Hearing the movement, Wang Xifeng lifted the curtain and came out, and saw Jia Lian standing under the porch watching the little girls in the yard sweeping fallen leaves.

Wang Xifeng narrowed her eyes slightly, walked over with a smile, deliberately stood in front of Jia Lian to block his sight, and then said with a smile, "Second Lord, have you greeted the old lady?"

Jia Lian snorted coldly, didn't answer Wang Xifeng's words, turned around and opened the curtain by herself and went into the room.

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and was about to follow in when she suddenly saw someone coming at the door.It turned out that Lin Daiyu sent Zicuckoo to deliver things.

After meeting Wang Xifeng and saluting, Zijuan said: "Our girl brought back some specialties from Gusu, which are rare in the city. The girl asked me to bring them to my second grandma, please don't dislike her."

Wang Xifeng quickly asked someone to take it away, and then said with a smile: "Miss Lin, what are you talking about? Miss Lin is so worried about it, and you can deliver it yourself, so it's my luck. I wanted to let you have a cup of tea before leaving. But because I thought that your girl is still sick and needs you to serve me, I will not keep you, and I will have a word with your girl, saying that I will go to see her when I am free."

Wang Xifeng asked someone to deliver Zijuan, and then lifted the curtain and entered the room. Seeing Jia Lian sitting in the back room without saying a word, she followed him in.

"Second Master is angry when he comes back. Is the old lady blaming Second Master for Miss Lin's matter?"

Jia Lian didn't look at her, but said coldly: "Although you are in the mansion all day long, you haven't cut off contact with people outside. The old lady knows everything, what else do you not know? Why bother to ask?"

Jia Lian's attitude was indifferent, but Wang Xifeng was not angry at all. She poured tea for Jia Lian with a smile, and offered the teacup with her own hands. She smiled sweetly and said, "The old lady is not happy for a while, and she will be fine in two days. The second master doesn't have to let go." On the contrary, it was the young master of the Lin family who forced the second master to take a step back, which shows that he is also a ruthless person with means. I think it is a good thing that the second master did not offend him. "

Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion said that Wang Xifeng had a talent for killing, making decisions, and planning, which was not inferior to men. Although Jia Lian didn't say it, he agreed with this statement in his heart.He even thought that Wang Xifeng was actually stronger than the average man in the world.Sometimes being strong even makes him disgusted.

Jia Lian refused to accept the tea from Wang Xifeng, and the smile on Wang Xifeng's face couldn't hold back. Afraid that the two of them would start a fight over this matter, Ping'er hurriedly came over with the warehouse brochure, and Wang Xifeng put down the teacup and said to Ping'er After two sentences, this section is over.

When Wang Xifeng turned her head again, Jia Lian looked at her with a half-smile and said, "I didn't offend him, but your Wang family offended him. Do you think this is a good thing?"

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Second Master was joking. It's just some secret court battles, and they haven't crossed the Ming Road, how can they be considered offended?"
