Red Mansion(18)

Wen Tianfang was a little surprised when he heard that the guards came in to report that it was the son-in-law of Lord Lin Ruhailin's family who came to visit.

Didn't Lin Hai say that it was just a few subordinates with children?

This Lin Ruhai seems to have only one daughter in his life. Why, now there is a son? He had been on the southern coast all his life and had never returned to Beijing. I've just heard some of these things from others, and I've heard them. But I never took it to heart. People who have never crossed paths are hard to leave an impression. If it weren't for the fact that King Nan'an insisted on going his own way and was finally defeated and captured, and chose the daughter of the Jia family as the county lord and relative, he might not be able to remember that there was such a person. Not to mention other people's family affairs. In this life, I don't want to spend my life in the south, and be dragged to death by a bunch of idiots. Only then did I find a way to go back to the capital.

Could it be that he took this errand and changed Lin Ruhai's fate. Because of his speed this time, the other party hasn't had time to make a dead move. Then, Lin Ruhai's children have benefited, but it is also said in the past.

I thought about it once. My heart has settled down.

Think about it again, if you can come to visit, it proves that you are not young. Why does Lin Hai still say that it is a child? It can be seen that the father is not at ease. Suddenly, my heart didn't feel good. He is alone, his mother is not there, and he doesn't even have a close aunt or aunt. And there was a great deal of envy in my heart.

"Ask him to come in. Wen Tianfang sighed, put down the book in his hand, and thought about it before saying. Since he promised the adults in the family to take care of these children, he couldn't shirk it. Let's see if there is any difficulty and a mistake.

When Lin Yuyang entered the cabin, he saw a man who was seven feet tall and had a somewhat dark face, who should be seventeen or eighteen years old, but he obviously looked unusually mature and steady. Is this Jing Haibo?

So young!

He restrained the look on his face and bowed: "I've seen uncle." ”

Wen Tianfang saw that it was a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, and he was really a child. He smiled sassily, asked Lin Yuyang to sit down, and then said, "But if there is any difficulty, just say it." ”

Lin Yuyang smiled suddenly: "Our sister and brother didn't know that our father had this arrangement, and we only listened to the housekeeper when we got on the boat. There is an uncle to take care of him all the way, and the kid is more down-to-earth. As he spoke, he motioned to Lin Ping to deliver the food box, "This is made by the family themselves, and it is cleaner than the food bought along the coast." Chat to express gratitude, don't dislike simplicity. ”

Don't send gold, don't send silver, send a home-cooked food box.

That's not even a rejection.

Wen Tianfang was stunned for a moment and accepted it, "Then thank you." ”

The two met for the first time and talked a few words, and Lin Yuyang offered to leave.

Wen Tianfang sent the person to the deck, and only turned around and came back until he watched him get on the Lin family's ship.

The taste of the food is good, I don't know how many times better than the craftsmanship of the cook on the ship. The meat that can be eaten recently is the fish caught in the river. Shore supplies, which can be purchased, are also very limited.

It's so delicious, but it's not.

"On the Lin family's boat, how many children are there. Wen Tianfang asked the guard.

"Lord Lin has a son and two daughters. I heard that the eldest girl and the young master just now only recognized it. "The guard told Wen Tianfang about the gossip about the Lin family in Yangzhou.

Over there, Lin Yutong and Lin Daiyu also listened to Lin Yuyang talk about this Jing Haibo with relish.

“…… So high!" Lin Yuyang stood up and raised his arm to gesticulate. Very envious.

When boys reach a certain age, they envy and yearn for the height of others.

Lin Yutong said with a smile: "You eat an extra bowl of rice every day, and when you are fine, you can jump and reach above the door frame." In three or two years, you'll be that tall. Lin Ruhai was originally tall, and the two aunts in his memory were very tall people. It doesn't make sense that she and her brother aren't tall. When the boy reaches the time of development, he grows as if he were drawing a strip, as if he has grown taller overnight.

Lin Daiyu got along with her eldest brother and eldest sister on the boat, and now she is familiar. I never knew that looking at the steady brother also had a very naïve side.

She smiled: "I'm watching my brother eat today, can I eat more bowls." ”

"Spare me. Lin Yuyang said with a smile: "My sister watches me eat all day long, and there is another person who is staring, where do I dare to use chopsticks." ”

Lin Yutong glared, this child may have been afraid of a hard life when he was a child, but now he is more and more disgusted with vegetarian dishes and prefers meat. This is not nutritionally balanced. is like Lin Daiyu, who can't wait to hide when she sees meat. It's two extremes entirely.

"Don't be picky eaters. "Lin Yutong's main task on the ship is to watch them eat.

It is not sad to have someone to accompany you. With Wen Tianfang's care, the journey is also safe. Lin Yuyang visited several times, and the two were familiar with each other. It's not a deliberate friendship, but there is a friendship with each other, and it's not good to talk when we meet again. This is all Lin Yutong told his younger brother to do. For such a person who has not appeared in the Red Mansion, it does not mean that he is not important. The narratives in the Red Mansion outside the Jia family are extremely ambiguous. But Lin Yutong knows deeply that this world is not only the Jia family.

In general, this journey has not been without gains. In addition to making friends with such a close minister of the Son of Heaven, the sister and brother and Sister Lin are also familiar with each other.

Waited for the dock in Tongzhou. There are people from the Jia family to pick it up.

This time, it is the head and face of the Jia family who comes, relying on everyone.

Lin Yutong didn't see her, so she only asked Ping's sister-in-law to send her away. Although he will live in Jia's house, it does not prevent him from returning to the Lin family's house first.

The house was cleaned up years ago. It's still okay to live with people. There was a man left in the house, and now he is waiting on the shore.

"Sister. Lin Daiyu was a little nervous, "Let's not go to my grandfather's house." ”

"Where is the reason to drag luggage and take a boatload of people to a relative's house. Lin Yutong said soothingly.

Outside, Sister-in-law Ping looked at the few sedan chairs brought by the Jia family, and her eyes flashed with disdain. I really think that my little master can't fight the autumn wind. She frowned and said embarrassedly: "This whole ship's luggage must also allow us to move home." ”

"Could it be that Aunt Lin wants to return to Beijing. Lai asked in surprise. Otherwise, how would they move.

Sister-in-law Ping smiled: "Where to go back to Beijing." It's all the things that the little masters are used to. ”

Lai everyone's is a little staggering. I was stumped for a moment.

At this moment, a teenage boy came out of the cabin, dressed in a robe woven with cloud brocade, a cloak of fox fur, and a crown of white jade on his head. He has clear eyebrows and bright eyes, and he is brilliant.

It is said that the little master of the family, Baoyu, was born well, but now that I see this, I know what it means to be outside the world.

I saw that the young master ordered the Lin family's subordinates to carry the luggage, and a team of soldiers came over to help. I saw that the young master was smiling and talking to a man in an uncle's suit, looking extremely familiar.

"Let this group escort you for a ride. Wen Tianfang said to Lin Yuyang.

Lin Yuyang glanced at the cabin, this officer and soldier were all going to escort the tax silver. This pulls people out, in case of a business trip, not only will it affect this uncle, but it will not be good for his own family. He really didn't dare to make up his mind about this.

Wen Tianfang saw Lin Yuyang's movements, and subconsciously glanced towards the cabin. I only caught a glimpse of a pair of red embroidered shoes studded with pearls and an azure skirt at the door of the barnhouse.

Lin Yutong saw people looking at him, and quickly hid inside. Now that the people have found out and are kind helpers, she did not refuse, and said directly: "Then thank you uncle." He raised his voice and said to his younger brother: "Uncle is naturally focused on official affairs. The brothers who help this team are only afraid that they are the uncle's attendants. You just thanked your uncle for his kindness. ”

Lin Yuyang suddenly realized. This retinue is only responsible for the safety of this uncle. What they do now is Wen Tianfang's private matter. He bowed and saluted: "Thank you very much." ”

Wen Tianfang took a deep look at the direction of the cabin, this girl was probably the eldest daughter of the Lin family. He is a smart and transparent person.

said that Lin Yuyang would come to visit when they settled down, and the two politely said goodbye.

Everyone wanted to come over to talk, but Lin Yuyang didn't see it and went back to the cabin. After a while, he helped a girl in an azure dress and a hood out. The people who followed behind were supported by Zijuan, and everyone knew who it was.

The one in front is the eldest girl of the Lin family. The one behind is Lin Daiyu.

She wanted to step forward, but the descendants of the Lin family were layered, and she couldn't rely on it at all. It wasn't until she watched the people get into the carriage that she approached the carriage.

"Say hello to the big girl. Lai everyone's blessing outside the carriage, smiled: "The old lady is looking forward to it at home......

Lin Yutong didn't talk to her, and said directly: "I just came to the capital, and I haven't entered the house yet." When it was ready, I went to greet the old lady. ”

Everyone was in a hurry, but before she could speak, they saw a few decent women being brought over.

I heard that it was actually someone from Master Zhang's mansion.

"Uncle and grandpa are in good health. Just listen to the greeting of the eldest girl.

Only then did she suddenly realize that Mr. Zhang was Aunt Lin's uncle.

It seems that the Lin family does not have to be the Jia family in Beijing.

watched the Lin family's convoy go mightily. Lai everyone's talent suddenly realized that this had to go back and talk to the old lady quickly.

Everyone in the Jia family was summoned by the old lady, and only said that there were guests from afar.

Jia Baoyu was overjoyed, and kept asking people where he went.

I don't want to wait, but I can only rely on everyone in a hurry.

"How. Didn't the boat arrive. Jia Mu hurriedly asked.

A mocking smile flashed on Mrs. Wang's lips, and she was so anxious that she might not be appreciated. It's not like it's just asking someone to pout back.

Jia Baoyu's face suddenly changed: "It must be that this old slave went out to be a powerful man again, annoying Sister Lin." So, she didn't come to our house. ”

What a foolish thing this is!

Lai's breath almost fainted. In this Jia family, no one has been so disgraceful to themselves.

The anger in Mrs. Wang's eyes flashed......
