The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

Early the next morning, before dawn, Jia Lian went to Lin's house.

A peddler who got up early and set up a stall on the side of the road said that Marquis Zhaoming, who used to ride a horse, actually went in a carriage this time.Not only that, but according to eyewitnesses, Marquis Zhaoming also wore a veiled cap to cover his face, which made it quite inconvenient to walk and needed the help of his attendants, and he was presumably seriously injured.

The vermilion gate of the Lin family kept these rumors out, but the situation was not much better, because Lin Ruhai was really seriously ill.

When he was young, he was still in good health, and he was able to use a horse-drawn bow and archery, but his ten-year career in the field had dragged his body down.Not to mention hard work, there are endless hidden arrows, poisoning and assassination, wave after wave, emerge in endlessly.

Except for the deadly poison that Jia Min blocked, other more or less drugs have never stopped. After all, the salt administration is the head of finance and taxation, and the position of patrolling the salt censor is really important.And there are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, but there are no people who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. No matter how shrewd and capable Lin Ruhai is, she can't resist such consumption again and again.

After returning to Kyoto, although I will raise it for a few years, the foundation is broken after all.When Jia Min passed away three years ago, he couldn't hold on anymore, but his son and daughter were still young, so he had to hold on.

Now that Lin Dong has been selected as a Jinshi, and Lin Daiyu's marriage has already been entrusted to Wang Xifeng and his wife, Lin Ruhai naturally has no worries, the breath in his chest is gone, and he sees the next life.

Sitting in front of Lin Ruhai's bed, Jia Lian saw his pale face, so he knew that the oil had run out and the lamp was dry.

"Uncle, you..."

Jia Lian hesitated to speak, but Lin Ruhai looked at it openly. He smiled and said: "You will seize the opportunity, take advantage of the few attacks this time, and send your family out. It's your face This injury looks real to me, why is it so careless?"

Jia Lian nodded and said: "At the end of last year, my wife left with Brother Feng and a few children. This time, the people who boarded the boat together were all pretended by others, and they have all escaped now. As for the face The injury on my face is naturally real, and the fake one can't fool that one, and it will bring me more trouble, I am now too old to look at my face."

Lin Ruhai looked at this nephew after hearing the words, and found that he hadn't seen him in the past few years, and the appearance of the other party and his memory had changed a lot.In the past, I could still see a few traces of romantic escape from the atmosphere, but now I can see at a glance, but it is full of determination and calmness, and it looks like I can take charge of my own affairs.

"Of course I'm at ease when you do things, Lian'er, I'm about to die now, Brother Dong can protect himself, but Sister Yu, I'm really worried."

Lin Ruhai couldn't help coughing while talking, and took a long time to catch her breath and continued: "Sister Yu's intelligence is a hundred times better than her younger brother, but in this world, there are very few opportunities for women to make their mark. Ever since their siblings came back from overseas, they have been talking about things over there, and after listening to them for the past few years, I have also heard the way, these two children don’t want to stay here anymore.”

"I just want to ask you one question. You have been planning overseas affairs for more than ten years, but why? At that time, you were still enjoying the spring breeze, and the royal family didn't intend to settle accounts after the autumn, so you wouldn't plan ahead to that extent, right?"

Jia Lian was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "This is very strange, so I have never told anyone about it. Now I am telling my uncle, and I hope you will not spread it."

"On the day my brother Feng and I got married, we both had the same strange dream. In the dream, we experienced a lifetime. The four families of King Jiashi and Xue fell apart, and all the adult men ransacked their homes and exiled, only a few women, children and children To have escaped a catastrophe, how can it be summed up in one word."

"When I woke up, I thought it was Huang Liang's dream, but who knew that Brother Feng also had the same dream, and the details were generally the same. The two of us were terrified, and we didn't dare to speak to outsiders, so we had to compare it in secret Dream investigation, who knows..."

Lin Ruhai suddenly realized, and exclaimed: "So that's how it is! It's because of this reason. No wonder you took extra precautions against the royal family from the very beginning, and even started to prepare for the future. It turns out that you got the opportunity in a dream."

Lin Ruhai took it for granted that Jia Lian's ability was also attributed to his dream, which saved Jia Lian the effort of explaining.

After a while, Lin Ruhai suddenly asked: "In the previous life, I mean in your dream, how was the Lin family?"

Jia Lian hesitated for a moment, and then said: "In my dream, the situation of the Lin family is completely different. Brother Dong died young at the age of three. My aunt couldn't bear the blow, and she was also plotted against, so she followed. After that You sent Sister Lin to Jia's house, but Jia's house was a mess at that time, Sister Lin was not doing well, and then you..."

Lin Ruhai's face turned white in an instant, and he felt pain in his heart: "Brother Dong and your aunt, and even me... Doesn't that mean that my sister Yu, sister Yu, is now alone?"

Jia Lian nodded invisibly, but did not tell the ending of Lin Daiyu's disappearance.

But what kind of person Lin Ruhai is, he knew just by looking at Jia Lian's expression that Lin Daiyu must have a bad ending.I also want to know, what good will happen to an orphan girl who carries tens of thousands of wealth and can only live in her ancestral home?

What's more, Lin Ruhai can now figure out the temperament of Jia's family clearly. His two elder brothers are both greedy and lustful.It's just that one pretends to be good, and the other doesn't bother to pretend. To treat Lin Daiyu, an orphan who is useless, she will definitely drain her last drop of blood, and then throw it away like a shoe.

The only Jia family that would have goodwill towards Lin Daiyu was Jia Shishi and a few girls.But Jia Shishi is already old, and the girls are mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, so they can't protect themselves, and the day when they can meet Lin Daiyu must be difficult.

Seeing Lin Ruhai weeping in a daze, Jia Lian couldn't bear it, and comforted him, "Uncle, it was all in a dream, so it can't be real. Brother Dong is now a scholar in high school, and sister Lin is fine. Don't think too much about it, and have a good life." Take care of yourself."

"Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, dream? Really? Yes? No?"

Lin Ruhai muttered to himself for a while, then suddenly said: "Lian'er, take Sister Yu and Brother Dong away, the worst thing is, you take Sister Yu away! She has such a pure and kind nature that she is really not suitable for the deep Spinning around in the backyard of the house, I can't bear to let those things drain her whole body of aura."

"Baichuan Academy is very good. I heard from Sister Yu that the third girl is working as a teacher in it now, and she lives happily. Sister Yu and your sisters are much better than their own sisters. Points, and Brother Mao's mother is watching, I have nothing to worry about."

Jia Lian opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Lin Ruhai: "The property of my family is divided into two by me. One is reserved for my elder brother's family. He has been homeless since he was a child. Before his grandmother and father passed away, they still missed him. This is what he deserves. The other share, half for Sister Yu's dowry and half for Dong Ge'er, is enough for the two of them to chew on a daily basis."

……

Lin Ruhai babbled, everything was arranged properly, it can be seen that it has been thought of long ago.

Jia Lian just listened in silence. This was the last worry and love of a father for his children before he died.People say that if you raise a child to one hundred years old, you will worry about ninety-nine years. Lin Ruhai will not live to one hundred years old, and he will have no chance to see his children get married, but his loving father's heart is not compromised.

When Lin Ruhai was unable to speak anymore, Jia Lian fed him a cup of warm water, and then said, "Uncle, don't worry, Brother Feng and Sister Qiao like Sister Lin very much, and they will definitely not let her be wronged. As for Brother Dong, According to his own opinion, staying in Beijing is also a good way, because he is a young talent, whether it is today or the new emperor in the future, he will pay attention to him."

Lin Ruhai is not so optimistic, isn't he himself the best example?

Young Tanhua, the family of noble lords for many generations, Jane was in the emperor's heart to patrol salt and censor, for the sake of His Majesty, his young children and wives passed away one after another.Even he himself worked hard, and finally died in office, leaving only an orphan girl to depend on others. Can't this be called a talented and loyal minister?

But how did the royal family do it? They turned a blind eye to the assassination and spying he suffered, let alone the intrigue among the princes, and didn't care about loyal ministers in the future.As long as His Majesty or Queen has a little pity for Daiyu, even if it is just to give something during the New Year, Daiyu will not have such a miserable life in Jia Lian's dream.

Lin Ruhai knew about the coldness of the royal family before, but now he just sees it more clearly.

He walked the road once by himself, is it possible for Lin Dong to walk it again, why is it necessary?

The education of Confucian scholar-bureaucrats gave Lin Ruhai the courage to die for a confidant, but if that person is not a confidant, is it possible that he would have to send his life in vain just to prove that he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic?The five generations of the Lin family were single-handed, and it was very easy for this generation to have a son and a daughter. This is a blessing bestowed by God, and it is not for him to test the benevolence of the royal family.

Jia Lian didn't know Lin Ruhai's psychological plan, but he knew that Lin Ruhai didn't want to leave his children in the capital.In Jia Lian's view, this idea is naturally not wrong, on the contrary, it is very safe.

He has been away from Beijing for more than five years, and the atmosphere of seizing the heir apparent in Beijing has become more and more intense, like a powder keg that is about to explode.Since the carriage entered Beijing yesterday afternoon, before he came to Jia's house today, there were more than a dozen waves of people investigating the situation of Jia's house.

Some wanted to win him over. After all, Jia Lian's talent was still there, and his reputation was very good, so he was a good help.But some of them wanted to kill him completely. After all, more than half of the current Ministry of Industry were direct descendants cultivated by Jia Lian. If Jia Lian were to collapse, there would be a lot of positions for them to accommodate their own people.

Lin Ruhai, who has been immersed in the officialdom for a long time, must be more aware of the things that he could detect right after he came back, and he must have made plans long ago.Just because he divided the property of the Lin family in advance, Lin Dong and Jia Lian were exempted from a lot of things. At least they would not cause trouble with the eldest son of the Lin family because of money in the future. It can be seen that Lin Ruhai has a very clear mind.

The dream Jia Lian mentioned was just to give Lin Ruhai the last reassurance.

Coming out of Lin's house, Jia Lian was helped into the carriage as usual, and when he got home, Jia Lan was already waiting.

He performed well in the imperial examination, and because he still bears the name of the Jia family, Situ Yao specially gave him the title of Chuanlu in order to show his benevolence. Now he is waiting for the imperial court to assign a position, but it happens that Li Wan "disappeared" .
