Chapter 284: What I Saw at the Dock
Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai faintly regretted how he replied to the letter of agreement to the ancestor of the Jia family.
But now it's too late to regret it, after thinking about it, when he sent people to accompany him, Lin Ruhai deliberately chose four housekeepers with big shoulders and round waists, and stuffed them into the team of peers along with Lin Daiyu's nurse.
If it weren't for Lin Daiyu's entry into Jiafu, she would have entered the inner courtyard full of female dependents, and Lin Ruhai would have thought of bringing ten or eight guards from the family to protect her daughter from being treated slowly.
It's a pity, it's useless for him to worry about the current situation, with the arrival of the Xue family, Jia Lian's return with Lin Daiyu was put on the agenda.
Jia Lian didn't care about the fact that the people of the Xue family wanted to go with him.
He has had enough fun in Yangzhou, and it's time to return.
The group of people who returned to the capital was really powerful enough.
Not only because of the large number of people, but also because of the large number of people, each family also carries a lot of luggage.
In order not to let her daughter be wronged, Lin Ruhai couldn't wait to move the whole family over, and the things she used to use on weekdays and things for daily consumption were like boats and boats on the water like no money.
This made the Xue family, who claimed to be an imperial businessman, also dumbfounded.
The two little girls who just took a boat alone didn't have half an idea about what was going on behind them, and as women who went out for the first time, they were extremely curious about the things around them.
It is precisely because of this mutual companionship that the waterway of nearly half a month is not so boring.
People like Mai Fan really haven't experienced the devastation of ancient society before, no matter how huge the boat is, the scenery day after day, and the hull that keeps trembling with the size of the wind and waves, have caused a lot of trouble to Mai Fan.
When his feet finally stepped on the dock on the outskirts of Beijing, if it weren't for the support of a useful servant beside him, he was afraid that his legs would be weak and he would kneel on the side of the road first.
With this quality, it took him half an hour to get used to the hard ground.
Not to mention his mother and younger sister, who accompanied him.
Thinking of Mai Fan here, he first asked his family's steward to find the people who picked them up in the capital.
Let the people of the Xue family carry the sedan chair of the young lady and Mrs. over first, and let the female dependents take it, so as not to be affected next.
Probably because the movement was too big, today's Beijing suburb wharf was followed by a bit of commotion.
The porters who used to beg for a living by the water were now stopped dozens of meters away by the stewards of several families, and they waited for the young master in charge to give them an order before letting them get close.
"You let our own people carry the sedan chair first, and wait until the people leave the dock, and then greet the rest of the business. ”
"As for my sister and the sister of the Lin family, have the people from Jiafu ever been to the shore?"
The manager of the Xue family who stayed in the capital was a really shrewd middle-aged man, and he showed a little contempt on his face, and then took it back: "I haven't arrived." ”
Mai Fan nodded, reasonable, and then made the following arrangements: "Then the Lin family's steward can come over to answer?"
"If they come, ask if they want to take them back first, or let their young lady be a companion with our young lady and stay in our Xue Mansion for the time being. ”
"They are all relatives of the family, and when the Jia family gives us a post, I will take my sister and the young lady of the Lin family to visit the Guogong Mansion together. ”
"At that time, people were delivered, and no one would say that our family didn't know etiquette. ”
The steward thought so, nodded and pointed to the other party's well-behaved and well-behaved team, and said to his own young master: "The people of the Lin family are waiting at the dock early. ”
"I thought, people don't necessarily let the young lady come to our house for a while. ”
Mai Fan looked at the other party's team and nodded, just instructed the people of the Lin family to know where the master was, and stopped caring about it.
This time, the subordinates were finally useful, and the Lin family, who received the report, quickly found the main ship where Lin Daiyu was.
With the servants of the capital holding hands, the young lady on the ship was next.
And the steward who was in charge of escorting the escort this time also contacted the Lin family's own people.
Now that he has found the main owner, the main person in charge of the Lin family has no worries, he and the steward of the Xue family and the Jia family, and with a wave of his hand, a large group of porters who they had hired in advance to get up early surrounded the three big boats loaded with the luggage of the Lin family.
The young lady's soft sedan chair went first, and the person helped her onto the sedan chair by her grandmother.
Lin Daiyu was a little worried at first, but when she saw the big girl next to her standing in a circle around the four corners of the sedan chair and walking with the sedan chair man, her heart also became steady.
She was also reluctant to give up her little sister Baochai, but thinking that she could go to the Lin family's old mansion in her father's mouth to see the bamboo forest in the yard for him, her reluctance was diluted a lot.
Xue Baochai watched Sister Lin go away, and in a blink of an eye, he asked his brother what was the reason.
Mai Fan deliberately raised his tone a little, and his eyes were directly aimed at Jia Lian, who was also puzzled, and gave what he thought was the most correct answer: "Maybe the people of the Jia family are too immersed in the grief of losing their daughter, so they forget that they still have a living relative, waiting for them to take them home." ”
"It's just that Brother Lian, you are a serious young master of the Guogong Mansion, the only son-in-law of Uncle Jia, and the most important person in the Jia family. ”
"Why is it that when a character like you returns to Beijing, will the people in the family be late for some reason?"
"What kind of big thing happened in the mansion to make the serious young master of the Jia family throw him on the dock?"
Mai Fan shook his head and looked back at his own house and the busy steward of the Lin family: "The Lin family is just a little master who is less than seven years old, so he can let the big steward here come to pick it up in person, and it is still the first family to come, lest he let his master be neglected." ”
"A person with such ability as my brother can't get the same treatment...... I'm really unworthy for my brother, and I'm sorry for my brother!"
"I don't know which person in charge of the Jia family is in charge today, if this person is in our Xue family...... Xue Yi, what kind of fate will he have?"
This Xue Yi is one of the stewards in charge of the liaison between Xue Jue in the palace in Kyoto, he heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning, pretended to sigh seriously, and returned: "Such a steward, if it is placed in the Xue family, it will definitely be a battle of thirty battles, and it will end up far away." ”
"It's just that I don't know the rules of Jiafu, whether our Xue family is so strict. ”
These words made Aunt Xue's eyebrows furrow.
