[comprehensive] life journey

Chapter 10

Life on board is dull, and when the initial novelty wears off, all that's left is boredom, ennui, and wobbly antipathy.So when it was time to arrive in Jinling, Lin Hai waved his hand, and everyone disembarked for repairs, so as to re-experience the feeling of being down-to-earth.

Everyone on the boat cheered for this news, including the two children who were the happiest when they got on the boat, Haoyu and Daiyu, who were very curious about the life on the boat and could fish You can watch your dad draw pictures, and you can also see the scenery... But this kind of life remains the same. The two young children are very excited on the first day, and very happy on the second day, but on the third day, On the fourth day... half a month later, both of them lost their faces, and the only thing left in their daily life was looking straight out of the window at the sea, sky and lake.

So when the two dazed children heard the news that they could get off the boat to play, the expressions on their faces were so happy! "Daddy, can we really go down and play?" The two children chased after Lin Hai and asked cheerfully.

Lin Hai felt very distressed when he saw the two children before. Now that they are back to their former lively and cute, Lin Hai is still very happy. Therefore, if the two children were so verbose in the past, they would have been angry. But today, he still calmly answered the two children's questions.

"Yes, we are going to Jinling soon, it is five miles ahead, and we can disembark." Lin Hai easily answered the two children's questions.

He has successfully taken a job in the capital, which means that most of the crisis in his family has been resolved, so Lin Hai's burden has been relieved a lot during this period, and his mood has also improved a lot.

Although he didn't know Huiming's real identity, when he approached him, Qingqing's warnings proved his extraordinaryness. Looking at his expression when he mentioned Fairy Jinghuan, Lin Hai could basically conclude that his family was safe. .

"Daddy, where is Jinling?" Haoyu's milky voice brought back Lin Hai's thoughts of going away.

Lin Hai lowered his head and looked at the two well-behaved children with a free and easy smile, "Jinling! It is your mother's hometown, and it is also an ancient city. There are many places of interest and historic sites preserved there, full of ancient charm."

Lin Hai vividly told the two children about the legends and places of interest in Jinling. He was very happy to see the two children eager to try. After all, children should be more lively.

"Okay, we're here." Lin Hai looked at the faint blue color in front of him, and interrupted the two children's conversation.

It's still early, so after everyone in the Lin family disembarked, except for a few people who accompanied the three masters to play, the rest were divided into several groups to go out to buy things in turn.

Because he hadn’t had breakfast today, after getting off the boat, Lin Hai took his two children to Yunqilou, the largest restaurant in Jinling. This restaurant has a history of 300 years. Except for the direct descendants entering the palace to enter the imperial dining room, if the remaining descendants have outstanding culinary talents, they will come to this restaurant to work as chefs. Everyone in the family is a gourmet. It is said that everyone in the family has a Unlike ordinary people's tongues, they can taste subtle differences in food, so this family is still very famous.

Although he doesn't have much real power in his hands, he can still have a place in Jinling City, where there are many dignitaries.Although Jinling City is only an ancient capital city, it is the birthplace of many powerful families in Beijing. Although the direct descendants have already arrived in the capital, the collateral descendants of the family still guard this square inch of land, because this is the root.

Just like Jia Shiwang Xue, the four major families, although only the Xue family is left to guard this one-third of an acre of land, the ancestral graves and ancestral fields of the other three families are still in Jinling, after all, this is the root.

......

Lin Hai took his two children into the largest restaurant in Jinling. Looking at the decoration in the restaurant, it was not the kind of resplendent decoration, but green decorations everywhere, giving people a sense of freshness. In such an environment If you eat Chinese food, you will feel better.

"How many guests, who are you?" The waiter in the restaurant saw a few people coming in, and started to ask with a wink.

"Help us find a quieter room." Lin Hai looked at the two children who wanted to run around, and said directly to Xiao Er, who was shaking his eyes.

"Hey, okay." After finishing speaking, he directly led the way and brought a group of five people to a medium box. Although the place was not very big, the scenery outside the window was indeed very good, and it was also very quiet.

Lin Hai nodded in satisfaction, and then they ordered a few signature dishes of this restaurant, and asked him to go down and prepare them.

Seeing this Xiao Er winking so much, before he went down, Lin Hai asked the servant behind him to give him a little reward. Looking at Xiao Er who became more attentive in an instant, Lin Hai was really amused in his heart.

But he still understood these people in his heart, so he let him go down.

After Xiao Er went down, Lin Hai chatted here with the two children.

"Dai'er, Brother Hao, how is the scenery in Jinling? How is it compared to Jiangnan?" Lin Hai started teasing the two children as soon as he was free, as if he would be unhappy if he didn't do this for a day.

"It's not as good-looking as ours!" Daiyu replied crisply, and at the same time nodded fiercely, as if by doing so she could make her words be believed.

"Yes, my sister is right." Haoyu also echoed her sister's words.

"But this is my mother's hometown. If you say so, what should I do if my mother is unhappy down here?" Lin Hai pulled Jia Min out viciously.

"But...but I still like our family!" Daiyu thought for a while after hearing this, but still firmly insisted on her previous point of view.

"Sister, what about my mother?" Haoyu, who was still young, felt that if this happened, her mother would be unhappy, so she was at a loss and wanted to change her opinion.

Daiyu turned her head to look at her younger brother with a troubled expression, "Then I like our family, and you like mother's house, okay?"

"Ah! But I also want to like our family!" Haoyu puffed up her mouth, feeling unhappy.

It was the first time that the two sisters and brothers were unhappy because of such a boring thing. Lin Hai was amused by their childish and childish words, and the two servants behind him also laughed very happily.

And the two unhappy children were very angry, feeling that their father didn't respect them.

"Daddy, you can't laugh." The two children said righteously.

"Okay, I won't laugh anymore." Lin Hai waved his hands at the two of them. He wanted to say that he stopped laughing, but seeing the puffed bun faces of the two of them, he couldn't help laughing again.

It wasn't until the faces of the two children became more and more ugly that Lin Hai barely resisted the urge to laugh, but there was still a big smile on his face.

"Daddy, can't you laugh?" Haoyu pouted and looked at Lin Hai who still had a smile on his face.

"But, Haoyu, if you don't make Daddy laugh, are you going to make Daddy cry?" Lin Hai asked very wickedly.

The two innocent children were raped several times by their unscrupulous father without knowing it. They just had a bitter face and didn't know what to do.

Just when several people in the room fell into a strange atmosphere without realizing it, there was a faint noise coming from outside. Lin Hai was curious, so he glanced at the window twice.

At first glance, it turned out to be that old drama again, several men competed for a woman, although the girl who won the fight was still young, she looked like she was only in her early teens.Lin Hai, who had no interest in this kind of thing, was about to walk away, when he saw a little rouge between the eyebrows of the girl who was being contested.

God!It can't be such a coincidence!Is this the law of the protagonist, the plot will always happen around you, Lin Hai cried helplessly in his heart, but after he knew who the woman was, he couldn't just leave him alone.

Because Xiangling's parents were old acquaintances with Lin Hai, and after Xiangling's father became a monk to seek Taoism, his mother lived in the meditation room in the backyard of Chongyuan Temple all year round.Lin Hai's wife, Jia Min, often visited her when she was still there.

Knowing the origin, Lin Hai decided to save her. After all, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda!Lin Hai ordered the servant behind him to go downstairs to deal with the matter.

"Lin Fu, go down and settle this matter, and then bring that girl up." Lin Hai ordered directly regardless of the shocked faces of the two servants behind him.

Lin Fu responded, but he kept slandering in his heart. Could it be that his master has taken a fancy to that girl? Although that little girl is pretty, she is too young! ...Although he kept muttering in his heart, he still obeyed and did things.

Lin Hai didn't know how the boy slandered him, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care, at most he would deduct his monthly money for a few months!But now he doesn't have time to argue with the boy, he has to talk about his two children first.

After all, he can't let his children be wronged because of the sudden flood of kindness!Lin Hai is still very selfish in his heart, after all, he puts his own child first in his heart.

"Dai'er, Brother Hao, the girl outside may be the daughter of the mother-in-law we saw in the temple before, do you remember that mother-in-law?" Lin Hai first identified the girl outside.

Daiyu, who was very unhappy because of her father's constant ridicule from the beginning, snorted twice in dissatisfaction.Then I went back to think about the mother-in-law my father said.Although Daiyu's memory is not particularly clear, she still remembers the mother-in-law whom her father and mother took her to see. I heard that the mother-in-law also had a daughter who was a few years younger than her, but she lost it.

"Daddy, how do you know that the girl below is Granny Zhen's daughter?" Daiyu was very puzzled why Daddy could recognize that person.

Lin Hai spread his hands, "Didn't I say that? That mother-in-law's daughter has a little rouge mark between her eyebrows, and she has had it since she was a child. That's why Dad was very puzzled when he saw that girl just now. Didn't Lin Fu bring her here?" , and then ask a good question?"

After hearing Lin Hai's explanation, Daiyu said with a very 'reluctant' expression, "Okay then." She looked like I'd given you a favor, and that little arrogant look really made people love her so much.

Lin Hai pretended to be flattered and said, "This is really a thank you to Miss Lin."

That serious look made Daiyu, who was still putting on airs, laugh out loud.But Lin Hai, who was only focusing on coaxing his daughter just now, forgot about the little man in the family, which made our man very unhappy.

"Daddy, why do you only talk to sister and not me?" Haoyu pouted and said very unhappy.

Lin Hai looked helplessly at his son who was too lively now, "Brother Hao, you are a man, do you still want to argue with that poor sister outside?"

"But, but now you only like your sister, and you don't like Haoyu anymore." Haoyu said with an unhappy face, expressing his displeasure at his father's partiality.

"Okay then..." Lin Haigang wanted to have a good discussion with Haoyu on the issue of manliness, but was interrupted by the door that opened suddenly.

The father and son frowned and turned their heads. It turned out that it was Lin Fu who had gone downstairs to work. "Master, the girl from below is brought up." After speaking, Lin Fu brought in the girl from outside.

After bringing her in, Lin Hai began to observe the girl carefully. It is too early to directly define the girl in front of her as Zhen Yinglian, so she still needs to question her carefully.

But looking at the figure of the waiter in the restaurant, Lin Hai decided to eat first, and wait for the rest of the matter to be settled after the meal.

"Okay, let's eat first." Lin Hai pointed to the two boys sitting next to him, and told them to sit down too, "You two sit down too, you have something to do after dinner!"

Hearing Lin Hai's words, the two servants who wanted to resign sat down. Because they knew Lin Hai's character, the two of them avoided the hypocritical stage, but the girl who had just been brought up was still very Rigid, dare not sit, dare not stand.That pitiful look made Daiyu feel very pitiful to the knife-mouthed bean curd-hearted Daiyu.

"My father wants you to sit down, so you sit down." Daiyu walked up to the girl, grabbed her hand and walked directly to the dining table.

"Thank you." The girl thanked very softly. Although she looked pitiful, she still accepted the gift very much.

Lin Hai looked at the girl, and thought that if it wasn't Yinglian, it would be good to stay and be a maid for Dai'er, but he still had to inquire carefully, after all, knowing people knows faces but not hearts!

"Eat." Seeing that everyone had already sat on the table, Lin Hai ordered to start eating.

......

This was a quiet breakfast. Although in the past, he didn't talk when eating, but because Haoyu was still young, he couldn't help acting like a baby. Today, he didn't know if it was because there were outsiders, so he used to be chattering. Haoyu stopped and ate her meal very quietly, looking very well-behaved.

Lin Hai saw that everyone was almost finished eating, so he let the two boys out first, and then he began to question the girl in front of him carefully.

"What's your name?"

"I, my name is Xiangling." I don't know if it's because Lin Hai has been an official for a long time, so he has become more powerful, anyway, the girl in front of him stumbles when speaking.

"Where are your parents?" But now is obviously not the time to care about these things, so now Lin Hai began to question her about other things in detail.

"I don't know." Xiangling replied very well-behaved.

"Then do you remember where your home is?"

"I still think there is a big temple nearby. I used to go there to play when I was young." Xiangling thought for a long time, but found that she only had this memory.Therefore, he shrank his words very much, as if he was afraid that Lin Hai would be unhappy.

As soon as Lin Hai heard what she said, he felt that it made sense. After all, the location of Zhen’s family was not far from Chongyuan Temple, and the only child of Zhen’s parents was Yinglian, so they often took her to Chongyuan Temple when they were young. Play.

"Do you remember your old name?"

As soon as Xiangling heard this question, her eyes started to shed tears, "I can't remember clearly, but I remember wanting someone to call me Ah Ling."

A Ling, A Lian, these two words sound quite similar. Now Lin Hai is almost sure that the girl in front of him is Zhen Yinglian. The rest of the uncertainties can only be waited until Mrs. Zhen arrives in the capital. After confirming.

So Lin Hai stood up with a calm expression, and was going to take the child back to the capital first, and then hurriedly sent someone to inform Mrs. Zhen in Chongyuan Temple.

"During this period of time, you will stay with Daiyu first, and you two will play first." Lin Hai asked Xiangling to accompany Daiyu first, just now Daiyu lacks a playmate, although Haoyu can also, but After all, Haoyu is a boy.

After Lin Hai asked the boy to settle the bill here, he planned to take the child to visit Jinling City, and then returned to the boat before noon.

Lin Hai planned very well, but Daiyu just had a new playmate, so she was not very playful, and just went to talk to Xiangling.And Haoyu pouted because her sister ignored her, and looked at Lin Hai very unhappy, as if he caused all this.

Well, it really was him who caused it.Therefore, the two children were not going to play, and the remaining three big men had nothing to do, so they returned to the boat directly.

After returning to the boat, there were still many people who had gone out to buy goods. Lin Hai had no choice but to rest on the boat.

The two children were watched by the nanny who was still on the boat, but nothing would happen, so Lin Hai went back to the house directly.After returning, Lin Hai repaired a letter and ordered the servant to deliver the letter to Mrs. Zhen in the backyard of Chongyuan Temple.

After the work is done, the boring Lin Hai can only play chess with himself here.

......

Not long after, the maids who got off the boat to buy came back one after another. Looking at the happy smiles on everyone's faces, Lin Hai didn't care too much. After all, he ordered everyone to get off the boat to rest.

Therefore, he didn't care about the lateness of everyone's return, but just waved his hand and told them to set off quickly.

It took another ten days before finally arriving in the capital. Looking at the majestic city in front of him, even though Lin Hai was worried about the people in power, he was still very happy, after all, he came to the capital.

After a few people got off the boat, they saw two groups coming to pick them up, one group was the housekeeper and others from the Lin family who came first, and the other group was naturally the people from Rongguo Mansion, Daiyu and Haoyu's natal family.Originally, Lin Hai didn't want to pay attention to the people in the Rongguo Mansion. After all, which one doesn't know his own home, so go to his wife's natal home first!

After doing this kind of thing, it can be seen how unreliable the Rongguo Mansion is, but the person who came to pick up Rongguo Mansion turned out to be Jia Lian!So even for his father's sake, Lin Hai couldn't ignore it.

"Uncle Lin." Jia Lian knew that what his family did this time made this uncle unhappy, but no one could disobey Jia's mother's order, so even if he knew that this matter was not done properly, he had to bite the bullet.

However, after coming here, it is not up to me to decide whether to achieve achievements or not.Jia Lian made up his own little idea, but he found that the look in Lin Hai's eyes after he came was really irritating.

"Well, Lian'er." After a long time, Lin Hai gave him a look, but the look was really not gentle.

Although he knew that the occasion was not right, Jia Lian still completed Jia Mu's task. After all, Jia Mu's confidants were by his side, "Uncle Lin, the old lady asked me to pick you and my cousins!"

"Really?" Lin Hai's voice was very impatient, but he still couldn't express it too clearly, he could only perfunctory, "Lian'er, your cousin and I have been exhausted from the journey during this period, because we don't have the energy to be a guest. When we have rested, we must go to Rongguo Mansion to pay a visit to our mother-in-law."

"Uncle Lin, this..." Jia Lian pretended to be very embarrassed.

Seeing Jia Lian's appearance, the old woman behind him said in a very bad tone, "Oh, I said our uncle, the old lady wants to see you, Master Biao, and Miss Biao, so you can do it just out of filial piety." , let’s go too.”

In those words, letting you go is to take advantage of you, so don't act like you don't know what's good and what's wrong.I really saw that Lin Haihuo was too big, so his tone was even worse, "Jia Lian, you heard, this old woman in your family who doesn't know what she is dares to talk to me like this, hum! You are honored!" The national family has a high family status, and our Lin family can't afford it."

After finishing speaking, Lin Hai shook his hands and left. Before Jia Lian could speak, Lin Hai was gone.Although he would definitely be hated if he didn't complete Jia's mother's mission, it wasn't his fault that things turned out like this, so Jia Lian turned around and took the troops home.

After returning home, Jia Lian went into Mother Jia's courtyard and looked at the crowd of female relatives. He lowered his head and sneered, "Old Majesty, my grandson didn't bring Uncle Lin back."

I haven't waited for Mother Jia to start asking!That's why everyone started to vomit bitterness. Why didn't Mrs. Lin take our Rongguo Mansion seriously... Those words were bald and bald. Jia Lian who saw it was called a Shock.

But he didn't stop the deadly Lai everyone, after all, she deserved what she deserved!
