[Red Chamber] Mrs. Lin replaced her

Chapter 50 Going to Yangzhou & Brother Lin

In order to surprise Lin Hai, Jiazi just chartered a light passenger boat, and took his daughter Lin Daiyu and son Lin Yan down the canal to Yangzhou.Of course, a big bundle named Jia Lian was also included with him.

Jia Amnesty was naturally happy to see the results.Jia Amnesty knew in his heart that Jia Zi and Jia Min were the only reliable people in the entire Jia family and Ningrong Second Mansion.Therefore, if Jia Zi is willing to take Jia Lian with him, even if Jia Lian is asked to do some common things, it will be much better than being in Prudential, who does not know when to take the blame for others.

What's more, now that the emperor has abdicated and the new emperor ascends the throne, no one knows what the future of the Ningrong Second Mansion will be.Therefore, it is good for Jia Lian to stay away from the capital.If the second mansion really has an emergency, it can also protect the blood of the Rongguo mansion.

In the past, Jia Lian was close to the second wife, and he was not close to Jia She, so Jia She naturally didn't bother to care what he was doing.Anyway, just relying on Jia Lian's small courage, he can't cause any serious disasters, so Jia Amnesty is naturally out of sight.

However, when Jia Zi slapped Jia Lian's famous post on his forehead with a straight face, Jia She was really scared: "His stupid son, don't really cause some trouble."In the current Rongguo Mansion, there is not so much face for the superiors to talk about love and righteousness. If Jia Lian really got into a catastrophe, wouldn't he lose his son?As for Jia Cong, if he didn't mention it, Jia Amnesty would have really forgotten that he still has this son.

However, because of what happened to Jia Zhen at the time, Jia Zi didn't have the heart to talk to Jia Amnesty in detail, but just told him to manage his own famous posts—the famous posts in Rongguo Mansion are not for the purpose of pulling people's attention and stealing chickens and dogs.

As far as Jia Amnesty is concerned, as long as Jia's mother is not involved, he is not so stupid - otherwise, he would not be valued as much as his grandmother.Therefore, even though Jiazi just said that, he guessed the reason, and knew that someone must be causing trouble outside under the banner of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Amnesty hurriedly asked Jia Zi to help him investigate secretly, whether someone really used his famous post to cause trouble.At the same time, I also thought of a way to smooth this matter.

Therefore, when Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were still showing off how much Beijing Wang Shuirong loved and valued Jia Baoyu, Jia Amnesty had unknowingly reported to the Ministry of Officials, claiming that he had lost his name card. It may have been lost for many years, and he doesn't know if it was stolen by someone and used his name to commit crimes, murder and set fire.As for his responsibility for not discovering this before, Jia Amnesty pinned the blame on Mrs. Xing without hesitation, claiming that Mrs. Xing was born in a small family and didn't know the importance of famous posts, so she never tell him.It wasn't until Jia Zhen had an accident this time that he found out about it and rushed to report it.

The official of the official department was pissed off by what Jia She said was nonsense, but he could only grit his teeth and make a record.Moreover, facing Jia She, who asked "naively" if there would be any problem if the name post was lost, they swallowed a mouthful of old blood, saying that even if something happened, it would not be counted on Jia She .

In the end, knowing that he would not be implicated by the "lost" famous post in the future, Jia Amnesty patted his butt and left contentedly.Only a group of official officials who were provoked by Jia Amnesty were left, looking at each other dumbfounded: I have long heard that people in Rongguo Mansion are shameless, but this time I finally saw it.

However, everyone knows the situation in the Rongguo Mansion: Although Jia She is the one who attacked the noble, he has been "driven" out of the Rongguo Mansion. Now the Rongguo Mansion is in charge of Jia Zheng. Outsiders have always regarded themselves as the master of the Rongguo Mansion - they don't know how he has such a big face from a fifth-rank official, he dares to live in the main hall of the Duke's Mansion, and regard himself as the master of the Duke's Mansion.

Therefore, as soon as they saw Jia Amnesty coming to report, they made a record.Even, regarding Jia She's ambiguous statement, although they knew there was something wrong in their hearts, they just pretended not to notice it, and directly threw Jia She out of Rongguo Mansion.

However, in order to punish Jia She's carelessness and negligence, Jia She was fined one year's salary. At the same time, in order to prevent the "evil tendencies" brought about by Jia She, the Ministry of Officials also directly announced: such things will never be allowed again in the future. occur.If anyone loses his name card again, then wait for it to be cleaned up.

Jia Amnesty didn't care about money, but after the famous post incident, he suddenly began to care about his son.Therefore, as soon as Jia Lian expressed his desire to go south to Yangzhou with Jia Zi, Jia Amnesty immediately opened a private treasury and gave Jia Lian 1000 taels of silver for him to use.

The reason why Jia Lian wanted to go to Yangzhou with Jia Zi was also very simple: he didn't want to follow Wang Xifeng to be the housekeeper of Jia Zheng's family anymore.

As long as you think of Jiazi's eyes full of inconceivable and full of enthusiasm when Jiazi asked him "what is Lian'er doing now", and he replied without shame, "I am helping the second uncle's family to deal with some common things", With a puzzled tone, "You are a majestic future successor of the Rongguo Mansion, and you are not ashamed to be a housekeeper for a low-ranking official." Jia Lian felt his face burning hot: You know, Jia Zi was very angry at the beginning. Those who value him, but now, he has let Jazi down like this, it is really shameful.

Therefore, when he knew that Jia Zi was going to take the child back to Yangzhou, Jia Lian naturally refused without hesitation, expressing his strong desire to follow.

In order to prevent Jia Lian from being completely taken into the ditch by Wang Xifeng, Jia Zi is naturally willing to take Jia Lian away.She was thinking about how to explore the relationship between Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, and see what Jia Lian thought of Wang Xifeng.As for Wang Xifeng, Jiazi's people have already regarded her seriously, so there is no need to worry about her becoming a monster for the time being.

Therefore, Jia Lian hurriedly packed his simple luggage, and followed Jia Zi southward without saying hello—in the entire Rongguo Mansion, Jia She was the only one who knew the news.However, is this also proof in disguise that in Rongguo Mansion, Jia She is the only master who really cares about Jia Lian?

Jia Zi took Lin Daiyu, Lin Yan's siblings, and Jia Lian, a half-grown child, all the way down the boat and went straight to Yangzhou.Along the way, Jia Zi had nothing to do, so he gave Jia Lian a detailed analysis of the Ningrong Second Mansion, including the current situation of the four major families and the four kings and eight princes that Jia Mu said, including the future of the Ningrong Second Mansion after the new emperor ascended the throne. .

This also shocked Jia Lian, who never expected that the Jia family had committed so many taboos unknowingly.Therefore, Jia Lian fell ill tragically before the group arrived in Yangzhou.Jia Lian's illness also made Lin Yan, who had become very familiar with this cousin during this period of time, bend over laughingly, and said that Jia Lian's body was not as good as his and Lin Daiyu's, and he was really uneducated.

This can't be blamed on Jia Lian, no one has ever told him such a thing before, so he naturally still regards the Rongguo Mansion that lost Jia Daishan as the former Rongguo Mansion.When Jiazi clearly told him that Rongguo Mansion would be destroyed sooner or later, he was naturally afraid.Now he doesn't think about whether to win the title or not, he just wants to live in peace, and throw out the hot-handed bitch of the title by the way.

Seeing Jia Lian's pale and haggard face due to illness, Jia Zi naturally couldn't bear to tell Jia Lian about Wang Xifeng: What if Jia Lian couldn't bear this kind of blow any longer and followed Jia Zhen?Therefore, for the sake of Jia Amnesty in Beijing, for the young elder sister, and for the little man of the Jia family who knew at a young age to stand in for his aunt, Jia Zi finally did not tell Jia Lian about Wang Xifeng for the time being.

When Qingzhou arrived in Yangzhou, Jia Zi directly sent Lin Daiyu, Lin Yan, and the limp Jia Lian back to the Lin House in Yangzhou. After settling down, he went directly to the Yanzheng Yamen to pick Lin Hai back to his residence.

Lin Hai never expected that as soon as he stepped out of the gate of the Yanzheng Yamen, he saw the person he was thinking of appearing in front of his eyes, and waved to him in a careless manner.

Lin Hai hurriedly rubbed his eyes, then blinked again, only to realize that he was not dreaming, Jiazi really came back, and hurriedly greeted him with joy.However, before he could reach Jiazi, he was snatched away.

"Mother." Jiazi and Lin Hai's eldest son, Lin Hui, ran all the way over, rushed into Jiazi's arms before Lin Hai, hugged Jiazi's waist with both hands, looked up at Jiazi with a smile and said, "Can you You are back, my son misses you so much!"

Jia Zi rubbed his son's face with a smile: "Really?"

"You boy," before Lin Hui could speak, Lin Hai grabbed the eldest son by the collar, pulled Lin Huilai out of Jiazi's arms, and reprimanded him, "You're almost twenty, why don't you give up?" Laying in your mother's arms all day, what do you look like?"

Lin Hui looked at Lin Hai in astonishment, his eyes full of disbelief, what did Lin Hai just say about him: almost twenty?Is there anyone who speaks like that?

If Lin Hai wasn't his father, Lin Hui would have jumped a long time ago: He's just turned [-], okay?Why are you almost twenty?Also, what does it mean to stay in mother's arms all day long?He is so called to lie in his mother's arms all day long, what is that little fat man Lin Yan?

Lin Hai naturally didn't care about his son's thoughts.Seeing that no one was paying attention, Lin Hai secretly took Rajazi's hand, and said with a gentle smile, "When did you come back? Why didn't you let me know, so I can pick you up."

"Notify you in advance," Jiazi pinched Lin Hai's chin, and said with a smile on his face, "What a surprise! How are you, have you been scared by me?"

"Naughty." Lin Hai smiled and held Jiazi's hand, not caring whether he would be seen or not—anyway, everyone in Yangzhou knew their deep feelings.Lin Hai directly took Jia Zi's hand and walked home: "Azi, I really miss you." Lin Hai already knew what happened in Beijing: he knew Jia Zhen's death and the new emperor's enthronement, so he was naturally worried Unstoppable: If only he had been by Jiazi's side at that time, at least he could have helped Jiazi, and Jiazi would not have been so tired.

Squeezing Jiazi's hand hard, Lin Hai leaned into Jiazi's ear, and said softly, "When Hui'er grows up and can be independent, I will retire and stay by your side every day."

"Really?" Jia Zi looked at Lin Hai happily: "You won't lie to me?" Jia Zi naturally understood Lin Hai's meaning, and also knew that Lin Hai abandoned the sedan chair and was willing to walk back with her, but it was because he wanted to spend more time with her. Just together.Therefore, she was naturally willing to stay by Lin Hai's side.

Lin Hai nodded: "Of course."

Lin Hui, who was abandoned by Jiazi and Lin Hai at the gate of the Yanzheng Yamen, looked at the two people who had left, pointed at himself, and then glanced at Lin Hai's servant who was trying to suppress a smile, and put down his hands forcefully, completely Unexpectedly, he was ignored again.

"You boy," just when Lin Hui thought he was abandoned again, he suddenly heard Jia Zi's voice: "Why don't you hurry up and follow?"

"Hey, here we come." Lin Hui glanced proudly at the boy next to him, quickly chased after him, and went around to the other side of Jiazi, intimately took Jiazi's arm, looked at Lin Hai provocatively, and said She smiled and asked, "Mother, tell me something about the capital? You have been in Beijing for such a long time, and many good things must have happened, right? Tell your son about it. My son likes listening to mother's story the most. story."

Lin Hai on the side gritted his teeth fiercely, and really felt that this brat who liked to pee on him since he was a child was losing his winks: His wife finally came back, and he hasn't hugged her yet, this brat I dared to hug it in advance, I really found a way to clean it up.

"If you really want to know about the capital city," Lin Hai interjected without thinking, "you can go to Beijing by yourself tomorrow. You are so old, you should be able to do things. It just so happens that our house in Beijing also needs It needs to be repaired properly, you can go over and supervise the work!" Lin Hai took it for granted, and took his son as a supervisor without guilt.

"Mother," Lin Hui ignored his "childish" father at all, and instead smiled and said to Jiazi: "My son heard that the missions from Qianxiang Kingdom and the chieftain from Tibet are coming. Now Yangzhou Street There are sellers of Qianxiang Kingdom and Tibetan jewelry on the surface, isn't the capital more lively?"

Hearing Lin Yan mentioned Qianxiang Kingdom, Jia Zi curled his lips: "There is nothing to see. It's just a defeated general, and there is no flower on his face. If you have the time to see them, why not go to the mountains of Sichuan to see monkeys?" !"

Lin Hai looked at his son, and then at Jiazi, but in the end he didn't reveal the news that he might be transferred back to the capital soon.Therefore, facing his son who was smiling so much that his face was about to bloom, Lin Hai curled his lips: "As for his virtue that can't even support a cactus, he will be defeated by just looking at the flowers."

Lin Hui, who was stabbed severely by Lin Hai, took a deep breath, finally ground his teeth fiercely, and turned to Jia Zi with a complaining tone: "Mother, let me tell you, the part where you were not at home Days, dad is not good at all."

"You boy..." Lin Hai got a headache from Lin Hui's anger, and he wanted to tell Jia Zi about Lin Hui's ups and downs in the academy: Anyway, he helped Lin Hui hide this matter, Jia Zi He would also know; it would be better for him to tell Jiazi!

Squeezing Lin Hai's hand vigorously, Jia Zi raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Hui: "I trust your father."

With just five words, Lin Hui stumbled and almost fell to the ground: Don't bring such a bully.

"Now," Jia Zi didn't care about Lin Hui's mood, but pinched Lin Hui's ear with a smile on his face: "Let's study it, why did you come to pick up your father when you should be in the academy at this time? How about it?"

Lin Hui looked around, with a guilty look on his face, and said in his heart, "I'm not here to pick up my father!"

Lin Hai also quickly said: "Azi, you are not at home, this kid has never been so courteous." As Lin Hui's father, Lin Hai would naturally guess what Lin Hui would say, it must be: he has been He is so well-behaved, in order to prevent him, the old man, from getting lost, he took pains to come and pick him up every day.

Lin Hui, who was blocked by Lin Hai's words, glanced at Lin Hai with his mouth pouted, and then saw Jia Zi looking over with a smile, and quickly said with a playful smile: "Mother, my son recently..."

"I have learned fortune-telling," Jiazi said with a smile, "today you saw the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky, so you calculated with your fingers that Mother would bring your cutest younger sister and younger brother back, so I told you Came here to pick me up. Huh?"

Hearing Jiazi's words, Lin Hai laughed unceremoniously; while Lin Hui showed a guilty expression, and found that his way was once again blocked by Jiazi.

"Hui Er," Jia Zi still looked at Lin Hui with a smile on his face, "Your mother, I'm stupid, eh?" If she dared to nod, she immediately gave Lin Hui a hard meal.

Lin Hui quickly shook his head: "Who said this? Isn't this slander? Mother, let's sue him..."

"Huh?" Jiazi raised his eyebrows, looking like "you continue to make up".

"elder brother……"

Just when Lin Hui didn't know what to do, he suddenly saw Lin Yan rushing towards him like a small cannonball.Lin Hui never felt for a moment that his younger brother was so cute: pink and jade-carved, round and smart...

"Xian'er!" Lin Hui hurriedly stepped forward, directly caught Lin Yan's chubby body, and hugged Lin Yan vigorously: "My God, why are you so heavy again!"

Lin Hai was taken aback by Lin Hui's actions, and hurried over to help Lin Hui, while helplessly said: "Be careful."

"It's okay." Lin Hui hugged Lin Yan with difficulty, but said with a smile on his face: "Father, you take mother to wash up. I'll take my younger brother down first, er, to eat something. You also know, Yaner Afraid of being hungry, I must be hungry right now."

Lin Yan held Lin Hui's neck tightly with one hand. Although Lin Hui, who always liked to cheat him, suddenly hugged him so kindly and enthusiastically, he was still very proud of himself in his heart. De: My brother must have missed him.Well, it must be like this.Now, he was more confident to tell his elder brother about Jia Baoyu, and let his elder brother hate Jia Baoyu with him.

Seeing Lin Hui staggering away with Lin Yan in his arms, Jia Zi turned his head to look at Lin Hai in a funny way, pouted his lips, with an expression of "Why is your son like this".

Lin Hai confessed to Jia Zi concisely: "Hui'er won't go to the academy anymore."

"Why not," Jia Zi raised his eyebrows, looked at Lin Hai, and smiled brightly at the corner of his mouth: "Let's study it, why are you so misbehaving?"

Lin Hai scolded Lin Hui in his heart for being so harmful and that he shouldn't have helped him at all just now, while smiling, he hugged Jiazi's shoulder and rubbed gently: "Listen to Hui'er's nonsense. I'm just a few days ago I was busy with business last night, so I went to bed late. If Mrs. Lin doesn't believe it, why don't you check it yourself at night..."

Angrily kicking Lin Hai, Jia Zi twisted Lin Hai's waist again: "I see that you have eaten well in recent months, have you gained weight?"

"No way!" Lin Hai hugged Jiazi's shoulders tightly to prevent her from running away. At the same time, he held Jiazi's hand with the other hand, and said with a smile: "During the days when Madam is away, for the sake of husband What’s more, I can’t eat and I can’t sleep.”

"I don't believe it!" Jia Zi gave Lin Hai a reproachful look, then remembered about Jia Lian, and said quickly, "By the way, Lian'er is here."

Lin Hai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "He is twenty now, right? What is he doing now? Is he here on business?" Naturally, Lin Hai remembered Jia Lian. boy!

When Lin Hai asked this question, the smile on the corner of Jiazi's mouth froze, and then he curled his lips: "He is in charge of the second cousin's house." Whenever he thinks of this, Jiazi really wants to twitch Jia She whipped the whip: What has this old boy been doing all these years?He is not ashamed to let his son-in-law be in charge of Jia Zheng.

"What?" Hearing Jia Zi's answer, even Lin Hai was taken aback: "This...is really inappropriate." In Lin Hai's impression, Jia Lian was a sweet-talking, clever, and cute-looking junior, so With his character and appearance, he can get along like a fish in water basically anywhere, so how could he be a steward in Jia Zheng's house.Thinking of the few meetings and conversations he had with Jia Zheng, Lin Hai unconsciously felt his teeth ache.

"So," Jiazi raised his eyebrows: "I brought him here. I thought, no matter what, let him read with you for a few days, at least he knows what to do and what not to do." It should be done. Then, I will take another look, whether to find a small official for him first, or let him do some business!"

Lin Hai nodded, finding a small official for Jia Lian, in his opinion, it is not difficult.However, when it comes to reading, Lin Hai is still a little hesitant: "Books...does he still need to read?"

"What do you think!" Jia Zi dragged Lin Hai to the courtyard where Jia Lian lived temporarily, and said softly: "Didn't Amnesty say that he would hire him a teacher, but what did my good aunt tell him It is enough to learn with Zhu Er, but he was not invited. But, can Zhu Er's progress be the same as him? Therefore, seeing that the teacher obviously pays more attention to Jia Zhu, he loses interest in learning. It's just that under the persecution of Amnesty, he had to go to the study every day to pretend. As for Xixi, Mrs. Wang may have ordered him to turn a blind eye to Jia Lian. That's it, he Reading is delayed.”

While talking, Jia Zi and Lin Hai had arrived at the small courtyard arranged for Jia Lian.Before Jia Lian fell ill on the boat, Jia Zi invited a doctor as soon as he returned to Yangzhou.The doctor has already come to see her, and Jia Lian is fine, it's just seasickness and some blows.When Jia Zi and Lin Hai passed by, Jia Lian was lying on the bed sighing, lamenting how unlucky he was.

Jia Lian was sighing when he suddenly saw Jia Zi and Lin Hai coming in, he struggled to get out of bed and greeted them.

Lin Hai hurriedly stepped forward to support Jia Lian: "Lian'er, you need to lie down quickly, there is no need to be so polite. You should rest well first, and then we will talk about your health after you have something to do. A Zi has already told me about your matter." It's over, don't worry, take things slowly. Azi and I are still around!" Then, Lin Hai called Long'er, Jia Lian's servant, and told him carefully.

Seeing Lin Hai caring for him, tucking in the quilt and asking for medicine, Jia Lian's eyes couldn't help but get moist: His own father never treated him so well.

After finishing their work on Jia Lian, Jia Zi and Lin Hai went to see Lin Daiyu who had fallen asleep after tossing all the way.

In the evening, after the family had a reunion dinner, they chatted for a while before leaving.Seeing several children and others returning to their own yards, Jiazi and Lin Hai returned to their main yard.

Before anyone else knew, Lin Yan had already severely sued Jia Baoyu to his elder brother Lin Hui. Under the "deep" impression.

The author has something to say: Mrs. Xing: Inexplicably, she took the blame

Jia Lian: I will never be a housekeeper for my second uncle again

Officials: Shameless, too shameless

Lin Hui: Yesterday I posted notices all over the city looking for my father

Lin Hai: My son was born a debt collector

Jia Zi: I take it back, Jia Amnesty is stupid enough, if you want to save me, you have to save Jia Jing and Jia Rong first
