[Red Chamber] I am Lin Daiyu and her uncle
Chapter 55
After returning home, Lin Qing started to prepare for going to the south of the Yangtze River. After thinking about it, he still felt that the waterway was the fastest.
There is a Grand Canal connecting Kyoto to Nanjing, but this river has always been used by officials to transport important materials, and other personnel who want to use it must say hello to the relevant departments.
Shen Jiao looked at Lin Qing's anxious look, and hesitated: "Are you going to take Yu'er too? If the old man is really gone, I can see him for the last time, so I won't have regrets for the rest of my life."
Lin Qing paused, he really hadn't thought about it.
After thinking about it, he told Shenjiao: "Find a suitable opportunity in the next few days to tell Yu'er about this matter, and tell her to prepare well, and follow me directly to the south."
Shenjiao nodded, "I will."
A few days later, the news that Lin Ruhai was seriously ill suddenly spread, and for a while, countless people's hearts were stirred.
Jia Fu.
Mother Jia's health has just recovered these few days, and she would go for a walk around to relax if she has nothing to do. The juniors were also very filial, and they all accompanied Jia Mu's side to make fun of them, which comforted Jia Mu's heart.
However, the fly in the ointment is that Daiyu is not around.
After all, she has been raised by her for so long, and she is a granddaughter, so there is no reason not to miss her, especially after Baoyu left Daiyu, she always reminded her of the existence of Sister Lin, so she couldn't let it go.He was about to find a suitable and appropriate reason to invite Daiyu to come over for a few days, but he heard the news that Lin Ruhai was seriously ill, and he panicked for a while.
Jia Amnesty has always been in the crowd of women, Mrs. Wang is a woman after all, even if she knows about the outside affairs, she doesn't have that kind of scheming, and the Ningguo Mansion has separated a long time ago. , and only Jia Zheng can be 'worthy of a big job', and this is still when Jia's mother is alive and clear-headed.
In fact, it’s not just Jia’s family. Like other honorable families, they are now facing a situation where there are no successors and no one to use. Not everyone can have the fortune of Lin Ruhai. His transformation can be said to be A model in the noble family.
In this regard, it can only be said that the blessings are almost exhausted.
However, compared with other families, the Jia family is still somewhat different.
Thanks to Jia's mother's foresight and extraordinary scheming, she let her only daughter marry Lin Ruhai. The most important thing is that there is still Daiyu, so as long as Lin Ruhai is alive, she will not ignore the Jia family. There are more or less sympathy.And the children of the Jia family can rely on this aunt to have a higher chance of success in transformation. After all, no one has experience like him. At that time, if any promising children can go to high school in one fell swoop, they can enter the court with the help of Lin Ruhai and master a part of it. If you have the right to speak, it is bound to save the declining family and achieve family rejuvenation.
It has to be said that Jia's mother has a vision of a strategist.
But, all of this must be based on the fact that Lin Ruhai is still alive. If the person is there, the relationship will still be there.
In fact, it would be a good choice to have a good relationship with Lin Qing. After all, after Lin Ruhai passed away, Lin Qing became the head of the Lin family.But let's say, 'once emperor, one courtier', Lin Ruhai is the son-in-law of his Jia family, but Lin Qing is not! 'Neither relative nor reason', why should he take the initiative to provoke those troubles.And the most important thing is that Lin Jia and his family are currently in different camps, which is much more deadly than the former.
Apparently, Mother Jia is also very aware of this truth, so she is more concerned about Lin Ruhai's condition than anyone else at the moment. If it weren't for her old arms and legs, she might be able to go south immediately.
Jia Zheng is Yuanwailang, and he is also a Beijing official, big and small. Naturally, he got the news early in the morning and was panicked, so he went to Rongxi Hall after the court without waiting for greetings.
The mother and son looked at each other, extremely anxious, and after discussing for a long time, they failed to come up with a reason. In the end, they had no choice but to send some valuable medicinal materials to Lin's residence. Whether they can help or not is another matter, but in the end, it is their point of being the Yue family. Sub mind.
As a show of sincerity, Jia Lian sent it in person.
Lin Qing also personally entertained Jia Lian, because he had a good first impression of Jia Lian, so he talked with him patiently.
"As soon as my old lady heard that Uncle Lin was seriously ill, she was so anxious, she immediately took a lot of medicinal materials from her storehouse and asked me to bring them. When I came, I was clamoring to go south to visit Uncle Lin in person. Please persuade me. Speaking of a good man like Mrs. Lin, how can..., alas!" Jia Lian sighed, looking a little sad.
Lin Qing was also in a bad mood, but she still replied: "I understand the old lady's wishes, but birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. After I hope you go back, you must comfort the old lady and don't be too sad. Anyway, it’s the fault of us juniors.”
After hearing this, Jia Lian could only say 'yes' repeatedly, and then asked casually: "I don't know if sister Lin will go south with the second master?"
Now that the city is full of turmoil, Lin Qing must go back to Nanjing. He has handed in all the memorials for asking for leave, and now he is waiting for the approval from the higher authorities.
Lin Qing nodded, "Yes. Yu'er is my elder brother's only daughter, so I should meet her no matter what."
night.
As usual, the husband and wife lay in bed and started the nightly talk before going to bed every night.
"You really want to take Yu'er with you?"
Lin Qing turned her head and looked at Shenjiao inexplicably, "Of course! Yu'er is my elder brother's only child. No matter what, I should ask him to meet him before he dies."
Shen Jiao was silent after hearing Lin Qing's words. Seeing that she hesitated to speak, Lin Qing asked, "Why did you suddenly ask this? Isn't it natural?"
The father is about to pass away. Isn't it natural for a daughter to see him for the last time?
Shen Jiao thought for a while, but decided to speak out, so she sat up, looked at Lin Qing and said, "Let me ask you, you are going south this time, but you are going by water?"
Lin Qing nodded, "Naturally." Waterway was the fastest transportation in ancient times.
"If you go by water, you have to take a boat, right?"
"Yes."
"Now that the old man is seriously ill, he must be traveling day and night, just to get to Nanjing one step earlier, right?"
"Yes."
"Then do you know, which is the fastest waterway from Kyoto to Nanjing?"
"It's the Dunan Canal." The one that goes straight from Kyoto to Nanjing.
"Yes, it is indeed the Tunan Canal. But sir, do you know what this canal used to carry?"
Lin Qing nodded, "It's for transporting important supplies." He had already inquired clearly.
Shen Jiao didn't take his words, and said to himself: "This canal was excavated when Empress Dowager Wenhuan was in power. It connected several water systems and extended in all directions. At the beginning of the excavation, it was built to transport military supplies. The officials are all experienced soldiers. My father also escorted them once when he was young. According to him later, if there is a favorable wind and does not stop, it will take half a month to arrive. You can calculate how long it is from Kyoto to Nanjing. Far."
Lin Qing calculated the distance in his heart, and then divided it by the time, he was shocked!
"So fast!"
Shenjiao nodded, "That's right, it's that fast! The soldiers are all strong and strong, even if they are so, they will be exhausted after transporting the goods. If they still get seasick, they may die."
"Although Yu'er's body is much better now than before, she is weak after all. Now she is still taking medicine every day. She is also a woman. She was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child. She has delicate skin and tender flesh. How can she bear this kind of torture?"
This time it was Lin Qing's turn to be silent, and after a half-moment, he still said: "But this is very likely to be the last time the father and daughter will see each other.
Why doesn't Shenjiao know?But the real problem is here, and she doesn't know how to deal with it, so she can only sigh: "You are the only one in the Lin family who can call the shots, you..., alas!"
She didn't know how to comfort her.
Lin Qing stayed up all night last night, thinking about how to properly solve this matter, but after much deliberation, she couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
The palm of the hand is flesh, and the back of the hand is also flesh. It's a dilemma!
The next day Lin Qing went to the court as usual, and unexpectedly learned that the imperial envoy was going to go to the south of the Yangtze River in person, and Lin Qing, a junior official of the seventh rank, was also on the list!
There is no rank in the post of imperial envoy, and the official post is often canceled after the mission is completed.Those who hold this official position are generally high-ranking officials trusted by the emperor. For example, the imperial envoy this time is the second-rank official Wu Min.
Wu Min was regarded as the emperor's direct confidant, he was by the emperor's side before the emperor took charge, and entered the cabinet early, and he was single-handedly promoted by Xia Xu.He has been working diligently and keeping a low profile. He neither forms a party nor seeks selfishness, nor deliberately builds interpersonal relationships. Therefore, he has few friends in the court and is regarded as a "lonely minister"—a lonely minister who only obeys the emperor's orders.
Except for the emperor, he doesn't buy into anyone's account, seizing the heir has nothing to do with him, he supports whoever the emperor chooses.Whether it was the third prince's faction or the fifth prince's faction, they had a tacit understanding and did not choose to win him over, because they knew that he would not get in.
All in all, this is a heavyweight.
Lin Qing received the imperial decree and returned home with mixed emotions. He has been in office for less than a year, so can he go on a business trip with such a powerful person?It's very hard that the emperor didn't ask Lin Ruhai to go because of Lin Ruhai's face.
However, now that Lin Qing has official duties, he can't take Daiyu with him.
After Lin Qing got home, Shenjiao explained the matter in detail, and told her to tell Daiyu clearly, and explain clearly the reason for not taking her with her, and Shenjiao agreed.
Fortunately, Daiyu is a sensible child. After hearing Shenjiao's analysis of the pros and cons and the relationship between the interests, although she felt sad and regretful, she didn't make any fuss. This letter to Lin Ruhai can be regarded as a show of her filial piety.
After everything was settled, they set off immediately. Because of time constraints, the higher authorities specially approved them to take the fastest and lightest boat, so they arrived in Nanjing in less than half a month.
There is a Grand Canal connecting Kyoto to Nanjing, but this river has always been used by officials to transport important materials, and other personnel who want to use it must say hello to the relevant departments.
Shen Jiao looked at Lin Qing's anxious look, and hesitated: "Are you going to take Yu'er too? If the old man is really gone, I can see him for the last time, so I won't have regrets for the rest of my life."
