The jade that pulls the red mansion is also crazy

Since Lin's house was invaded by thieves, although no money or other things were lost, people were a little panicked and discussed quietly for a day, because Lin Ruhai was not there, Lin Long was in charge, and there were many servants sent to the night in the past two days, and they took turns In order to make Daiyu sleep peacefully, Lin Long guarded Daiyu's door for two consecutive days without leaving. The night was cold and windy, and Lin Long had to take care of other affairs during the day, exhausting his body and mind. In the daylight, I felt my nose was stuffy and my head was dizzy. I was actually sick, but I just managed to hold on.

On the third night, dark clouds gathered and the air was slightly warmer. In the middle of the night, Lin Long couldn't help but dozed off a little bit. In a trance, she only felt footsteps rustling by her ears. She was suddenly startled in her heart, and secretly said: Here we come!His eyes were starry, his mind was buzzing, he didn't care if the sky was dark and the ground was dark, he didn't distinguish between the north and the west, and he rushed straight to the sound with his sword.

I only heard: "Master, be careful!" Lin Long hid hurriedly in the corner of her purple clothes. When Lin Long heard the word "Master", most of her sanity that had disappeared from her mind quickly withdrew a little bit. Fortunately, she retracted her sword in time and did not hurt Lin Ruhai. It was a false alarm.

It turned out that Lin Ruhai's trip was delayed for a long time, and when he finished his work, he rushed back immediately. When he returned to Lin's mansion, it was already midnight.In the middle of the night, it was difficult to distinguish the characters, and Lin Long's head was dizzy, so there was a misunderstanding.

For a while, it was too late to reprimand Lin Long for being irritable, because he heard the young man talk about something at home, but the young man couldn't explain clearly, and before he had time to change his clothes, he took Lin Long into the study and asked what happened after he left.

Lin Long told what he saw one by one, what the thief was like, what he did, and how he dealt with it, Lin Ruhai thought for a while, nodded, sneered, and said: "Sure enough, I expected it to be right, it should be here. "

Lin Long then asked: "Does Daddy know the origin of that thief?"

Lin Ruhai fanned tea leisurely, and said after a while, "It's probably related to Big Brother."

This remark was exactly what Lin Long guessed, so she looked at him and said, "Did you send someone to look for other evidence of elder brother's relationship with Daddy while Daddy was out and the house was empty?"

The tea in his mouth paused slightly, Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Long with burning eyes, Lin Long was embarrassed by the stare, scratched his head, and said with a smile: "My child is just guessing."

Lin Ruhai smiled lightly, and didn't answer, just said: "Why are you afraid of the shadow when you are upright? Tell them to toss around." After thinking for a while, he said: "You are also tired these days. Now that I am back, you are very happy." Take a break."

It was rare for Lin Long to see Lin Ruhai talking to him like this, not like a father and son, but like a friend, he hurriedly said "hey", said something to let Lin Ruhai rest earlier, and then withdrew, and here Lin Ruhai sat in meditation for a long time, Needless to say.

It is said that Lin Long returned to the house, still feeling groggy. After thinking about the complex power struggle in the palace, the Lin family wanted to stay out of it but couldn't. After drinking a cup, he didn't ask the little girl to serve him. He spread the quilt by himself and fell asleep indiscriminately.

When I woke up the next day, it was already noon, and I felt dizzy, my eyes were swollen, and my cheeks were on fire. I knew that I was seriously ill, so I asked the girl to call the doctor.

Unexpectedly, it was heard in Daiyu's ears again, so she hurried over to have a look, Lin Long was pouring hot water at this time, when she saw Daiyu coming from a distance in the courtyard, she quickly put down the cup, ran into the bed with a few steps, humming Humming, it's really painful.

Seeing this, Daiyu's eyes were full of worry, she sighed, and said: "If it wasn't for Yu'er, my brother would not have contracted this disease, I think it was my fault."

Lin Long coughed twice, nodded, and said, "My brothers and sisters... cough cough, what are you talking about... cough cough, what are you doing? But what you said... is also... cough cough."

Daiyu stretched out her hand to touch his forehead, then her own, and asked softly, "Have you taken the medicine yet? Where is there any discomfort? Have you invited a doctor?"

Lin Long half-closed her eyes and gasped for a long time, looking extremely weak: "The doctor is coming soon...fortunately...just very thirsty."

Seeing that there was no girl, Daiyu hurriedly turned around to pour water. Because the water was hot, she blew it again and again. Lin Long looked at it with a smile. With a caring face, he said, "Brother, drink it."

Lin Long drank the water in Daiyu's hand, thinking in her heart: one illness has these benefits, even being sick every day is nothing serious.

Yin groaned and said, "I won't get better from this illness for a while, it's because of my younger sister that I have this illness."

Daiyu looked down, nodded and said in a low voice, "Understood, I won't dare to work on my brother in the future."

Lin Long hurriedly said: "Working is of course still necessary,...but, I'm physically weak now, and the copying that my father punished me last time...hasn't finished yet."

Daiyu smiled slightly and said, "You just have to take good care of your illness. I can do it for you?"

Right in the middle of Lin Long's heart, he hurriedly answered: "So, so. There is also this homework, ten small poems, Lin Zhou's regular script, and..." Thinking hard: "Why can't I remember it all at once... ..."

Daiyu also laughed and said, "Just leave it to me, what else?"

Lin Long held Daiyu's hands, and solemnly asked: "My dear Yu'er, make your characters bigger and bolder, and don't use 'beautiful fonts and light strokes'. The characters written like that don't look good. Don't write poems softly and sadly. Talk about the magnificent rivers and mountains of the motherland, such as I am born to be useful, and I will come back after all the money is gone, Dad will like it when he sees it, right?"

Daiyu glared at him angrily, turned her hands away, and said, "Since you can talk about it, what do you want from me?"

Lin Long choked and said with a quick smile, "Aren't I sick?"

Just at this point, seeing the girl say, "The doctor is here", Daiyu stopped talking quickly, walked around lightly, and went into the inner room. The doctor came in, checked his pulse, and said with a smile, "I'll give you a prescription for a small illness." , just eat it."

Lin Long could hear Daiyu because Daiyu was inside, so she hurriedly said: "Doctor, I feel weak all over, my limbs are sore and limp, my mouth and eyes are crooked, I'm hot and cold, I'm afraid it's not a minor illness."

The doctor said with a smile: "The pulse can't be deceived. The young master just relaxes and takes two medicines, as long as it can heal."

So he took paper and ink, wrote a few medicines on it, handed it to the girl, and went.

Daiyu came out, nodded and smiled and said: "Okay, okay, pretending to deceive people in broad daylight, see if I can talk to you again!"

Lin Long hurriedly explained again, the two of them were chatting and joking for a while, which was quite interesting, although Daiyu didn't care about it, after all she wrote a few poems for her and asked Xueyan to bring them in the evening, without saying much.

In addition, it was mentioned in the previous article that since Jia Min's death, Jia's mansion often wrote letters asking Daiyu to go. Yushi was already nine years old, and this day Jia's mansion sent another letter, its intentions were sincere, and its words were not lacking in sincerity, and it also said that a boat would come to pick it up in a few days, so Lin Ruhai was a little bit enthusiastic, and the most important thing was to make a final decision.

It turned out that Lin Ruhai didn't care about Daiyu, but because of the thief in Lin's mansion, "there are still many unpredictable changes in the future", after thinking about it again and again, Fang wanted to send Daiyu to Jia's mansion before the wind blows. With grandmother by my side, sisters by my side, and Lin Long by my side, I don't feel too lonely.

Let's call Lin Long to him first, and tell him once, that he is to abide by the rules there after he enters Jia's mansion, "Your uncle hates ignorant people the most, and he would rather change his old problems. Don't ask people to laugh at us. Repeatedly exhorted, "Haosheng take care of Yu'er, don't let anyone bully her" Yun Yun, Lin Long promised to agree one by one, Lin Ruhai then took out a small plain box, opened it, and there were many large-value banknotes inside.

Lin Ruhai has always been indifferent to money, which is a matter of many courteous exchanges in the official career, and he just goes with the flow and does not seek to offend others. This small box is also common for Lin Long, but he never expected such an inconspicuous small box to be picked up again. What Lin Ruhai randomly placed on the corner of the bookshelf turned out to be a small cornucopia. Look at the amount of those banknotes, at least 10,000+ taels. She was dumbfounded for a while, "If I had known earlier—" Lin Long blinked. Can't do anything.

Lin Ruhai handed the box to Lin Long, because he said, "there are many people in Jia's mansion, you go here, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, you have to bear the expenses of food and expenses, and save others from gossiping", just this sentence, there is not much In other words, in fact, what Lin Ruhai is worried about is not just the cost?It's just that in the past few years, I have observed Lin Long's behavior with cold eyes. Although he is stubborn and unruly, he is wise and experienced. Besides, seeing that he has a sincere heart for Daiyu, and entrusting it to him for safekeeping, I feel more at ease. From now on, Jia's mansion will have many Contradictions and entanglements on money, I believe he will also be able to solve them.

So he entrusted the important matter, Lin Long agreed, Lin Ruhai waited for him to leave, and then ordered the girl to call Daiyu, and Daiyu also knew that he had made up his mind this time and would not change it again, she only sighed with her father. Farewell, I don’t know when to see you again, so this day was sad, when I came, my eyes were already like peaches, and I finally stopped crying. Lin Ruhai stroked his hair, his eyes were dewy, and he responded softly to comfort , Daiyu only nodded.

At the end, Lin Ruhai thought of something, hesitated again and again, and didn't want to hide it, so he said to Daiyu: "You are grown up now, and you understand a lot about the world. ,have to say."

Daiyu then said calmly: "What Daddy wants to say is about elder brother?"

Lin Ruhai was a little dazed, and said, "Yes, how is it?"

Daiyu smiled slightly, and said quietly: "Why do you use Daddy to say that Yu'er knew about it a long time ago. I think the two are very different, but if we kept it a secret for a while, how could we keep it from today? Now that Yu'er is grown up, she knows that her father knew it that day. Mother’s heart, regarding elder brother, just pretend not to know.”

Just this one word, but the meaning is far more than that.

Back then, my parents loved me and feared that I would become ill, so they brought a fake brother so that I could feel at ease. My parents worked so hard, didn't I know?

The Lin Mansion is not a place of unkindness. Over the years, they must have secretly inquired about the whereabouts of Brother Nanchuan. Since there is no sound, it can be seen that he has been found but not found. Moon, what can I do if I am sad in vain?

But this elder brother behaves frivolously and acts strangely, but he has a very good heart, and because of his poor family, he often feels inferior in his heart. I never knew, wouldn't it be better?

The night outside the window was dark, nine-year-old Daiyu was already slim, with a pool of gentleness and kindness in her eyes, Lin Ruhai felt grateful and didn't know what to say, but sighed and smiled: "Yu'er has really grown up."

Four days later, a round of painted boats leisurely sailed across the water and headed north. star.

After the boat painting, Gusu gradually drifted away, slowly fading under the cover of mist.
