Chapter 44 Funeral Yangzhou City (8)

Zhen Yingjia saw that it would be useless for him to say more, so he changed the topic and said: "Mrs. Lin is going to be immortal, I don't know what Ruhai plans to do?" Lin Ruhai knew that he was asking whether he wanted to continue the string, because he had already made up his mind in his heart, so he didn't care what his intentions were, so he didn't hide it and said bluntly: "The lower official is more than half a hundred years old, and one or two concubines in the back house are also given by the first mother, and the fool has no intention of this, so he will not remarry." ”

Zhen Yingjia originally thought that he still had a sister who was young and beautiful, and she was a concubine, although it was a failure to arrange for the Zhuang family to enter the Lin Mansion at the beginning, but now the situation is different. And this woman is a concubine, which is not the same as the Zhuang family.

Zhen Yingjia also thought that Lin Ruhai would refuse, but even if it was for the sake of the Zhuang family, he should not refuse for the sake of not pursuing it. With the help of the Bai family, I don't have to worry about being untenable in the house. In this way, even if he Lin Ruhai should not be harmed today, he didn't want Lin Ruhai to block back what he wanted to say with a word.

In this way, Zhen Yingjia was also angry, and he didn't want to stay any longer, he just stood up and was about to say goodbye, who wanted to go outside, Song Shi came in and replied: "Master, the young master has arrived outside the door with Xing'er and Zhang Xin." Zhen Yingjia wondered in his heart, who is this young master, and sat down silently.

When Lin Ruhai heard that Jia Lian had arrived, his heart was both shocked and annoyed, and even more heartwarming. Although he couldn't figure out what kind of emotions he was for a while, he immediately got up and bowed to Zhen Yingjia and said, "The wife and nephew of the lower official came thousands of miles to mourn his deceased wife Jia. Zhen Yingjia nodded to indicate that he knew, but he didn't say whether to go or not.

Lin Ruhai can't say anything more straightforwardly? Could it be that you can't say: Please leave? In desperation, he had to get up, and as soon as he heard the sound of the death knell outside the door, he saw Jia Lian striding in in plain clothes. In an instant, his eyes turned red. But I don't want to lose my honor. Then he endured himself.

Jia Lian saw that Lin Ruhai had not seen Lin Ruhai for half a year, and his temples were already gray. Full of gorgeous hair, my heart is sour and unspeakable. I also saw Lin Ruhai get up to greet him in person. hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "My nephew has seen my uncle." After saying that, he didn't care that there were still guests around, and he was already in tears.

Think back to how graceful and elegant Lin Ruhai was at the beginning? It seems that yesterday Lin Ruhai was still teaching himself and giving careful guidance. When I saw it today, I had the meaning of drooping. How can Jia Lian not be sad and heartbroken?

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai was also a little uncontrollable, wiped the corners of his eyes, and stepped forward to help him up. I have a lot more to ask. But because Zhen Yingjia was on the side, it was inconvenient to ask, so he nodded, and pointed to Zhen Yingjia who was sitting next to him and said, "This adult is the president of Jinling Tiren Academy, Lord Zhen." I think you know that, too. ”

Seeing Lin Ruhai's introduction, Jia Lian had already made up his mind. Then he bowed to Zhen Yingjia and said, "Boy Jia Lian has seen Lord Zhen. Zhen Yingjia saw Jia Lian's words like this, and he didn't like it in his heart, but he thought about the relationship between Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian, and his heart was settled. As long as he holds the Jia family, can Lin Ruhai still run away?

Zhen Yingjia pondered for a moment, as if looking at Jia Lian, and then said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, get up quickly." Though thou hast not seen me. However, you and I don't have to be so estranged, just call Shibo. After speaking, he pretended to be happy and laughed twice. Jia Lian only bowed his head and did not respond.

When Zhen Yingjia saw this, he didn't bother with him. I thought about going home and sent someone. Just send a letter to Mrs. Jia, I think Mrs. Jia is the governor. Lin Ruhai was afraid that Jia Lian would offend Zhen Yingjia and hurriedly said, "You go to see your aunt first." She was always thinking about you when she was alive. After speaking, there were some tears in his eyes, and he hurriedly waved his hand to let Jia Lian go down.

Jia Lian knew what Lin Ruhai meant. Hurriedly bowed and withdrew. Zhen Yingjia had already paid attention to it in his heart, and he didn't stay long, so he got up and arched his hand to Lin Ruhai and said, "Today I originally came to pay tribute to Mrs. Zunzun, but I don't want to be bothered by mundane things. In this way, it will no longer be disturbed, and the festival will be mourned. After speaking, he didn't wait for Lin Ruhai to respond, turned around and walked out.

Lin Ruhai hurriedly packed up his emotions and got up to send him off, and the two of them didn't say anything more until they were sent out of the door. Only Lin Ruhai sounded the alarm in his heart.

Turning to the mourning hall, Jia Lian had already made incense and cried with Daiyu. Lin Ruhai sighed in his heart, and stepped in outside the mourning hall with a moderate sound, and did not talk to the two brothers and sisters, but first gave Jia Min a three-pillar fragrance.

Seeing Lin Ruhai coming, Jia Lian quickly wiped away her tears, and Daiyu also lowered her head. Lin Ruhai knew that they were afraid that they would be upset, and they didn't break it. walked over and touched Daiyu's head, then nodded to Jia Lian and said a little tiredly: "Come to my study." Jia Lian knew that Lin Ruhai had something to say to him, so he also got up and nodded.

I didn't want Lin Ruhai to take two steps, and then stopped and said to Daiyu: "Your cousin hasn't drunk the tea you made for many days, go make a pot of tea and send it." For the sake of the father, too, it is naked. Seeing Daiyu looking up at herself, she smiled again and turned out. Jia Lian glanced at Daiyu with some confusion, and quickly followed.

Back in the study, Lin Ruhai's face became stiff: "Why are you here?" Could it be that there is no one in the Jia family? The tone was very heavy and unkind, Jia Lian just wanted to distinguish between two sentences, and Lin Ruhai continued: "You should be waiting for you at any time on that errand?" Or do you think it's great to get a cloud knight? The more he talked, the more angry he became.

Jia Lian knew that Lin Ruhai was concerned about his future, so he lowered his head and listened, and he was not in a hurry to distinguish it. Lin Ruhai saw him lowering his head and thought that Jia Lian knew that he was wrong, so he sighed and stopped talking again. only sighed: "Don't you think that when you let you go back to Beijing, it was only for your future." Now this Yangzhou city is about to be chaotic. I'm in such a sensitive position again......" he said, shaking his head and sighing.

Jia Lian heard the gloomy meaning in Lin Ruhai's words, and couldn't help asking, "But what happened?" Lin Ruhai didn't answer, only squinted his eyes and asked, "Tell me about your errand." At the beginning, Gonggong Li was so anxious to take you to Beijing, and he refused to stay longer for a day, which shows that the saint attaches great importance to the new account book notation. How did you come to Yangzhou now? ”

Jia Lian had already had the heart to explain, and when he saw Lin Ruhai asking, he carefully told him about the errand in Beijing, as well as what he had seen and heard. After speaking, I found that Daiyu had already brought tea and a few plates of snacks in. Jia Lian was also not polite, poured a cup of tea for Lin Ruhai and gave himself a full sip of drink. In the past, Daiyu would have laughed at him for drinking. Today, he frowned and pondered, as if he had not noticed.

Daiyu was really thinking. According to what Jia Lian said, his errand in Beijing should not be finished. So without waiting for Lin Ruhai to speak, he asked first: "Is my brother's errand over?" A pair of transparent eyes stared straight at Jia Lian. Jia Lian didn't dodge, just looked at her eyes and said, "It's over"

In this way, Lin Ruhai also asked in surprise: "Can you tell me how to finish?" Jia Lian then told the obituary he received that day, and then talked about the four princes' words to help each other, and sighed: "The four princes looked cold-faced and cold-hearted, but they didn't want to, but they were also a loving person." ”

As soon as Lin Ruhai didn't say anything when these words came out, Daiyu sneered and said, "The Emperor's House, where is the place to talk about feelings?" Even if there is, I am afraid that it is not allowed. Although Jia Lian is still a little ignorant of this, he has seen it by the prince's side in the past six months. Then he nodded. Lin Ruhai watched Daiyu stop speaking at this time, and how complicated and tangled his heart was, he couldn't spit it out.

When Jia Lian talked about the prince, Daiyu remembered Yuanchun, so she asked: "When my mother was alive, I said that the eldest cousin of the second uncle's family entered the palace and was on an errand in the prince's mansion, I don't know which prince it is?" Lin Ruhai didn't expect Daiyu to ask this, so he also turned his head to look at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian thought for a while and said, "There may be no news at home. I've heard that it's the Four Princes' Mansions. As soon as these words came out, Daiyu's face immediately changed, although she was quick to hide it, she didn't escape Lin Ruhai's eyes. And Lin Ruhai saw that Daiyu didn't want to explain at this time. I don't ask either.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ruhai changed the topic and said, "You shouldn't have come here, you are here." When your aunt is out of the funeral, you will go back as soon as possible. After speaking, he frowned and sighed. Daiyu felt that her father had been frowning and sighing more often lately than in the past year. He said with a slight pain in his heart: "Father, don't worry too much. Since then, I have never thought of any words of comfort.

Jia Lian said seriously at this time: "My cousin can go to Beijing, but I want to stay with my uncle." How can everyone around my uncle help him? "That's just half a sentence. Daiyu wanted to refute, just kidding! Don't go to the Rongguo Mansion yourself! Even now it is not called Rongguofu. That's a puddle of stinking mud, too! What's more, there's the rotten rock.

Lin Ruhai grabbed in front of Daiyu and spoke: "Nonsense! Do you think it's fun? If I could keep you, your aunt wouldn't be where she is now! As he spoke, his eyes turned red and he looked up at the roof, Daiyu knew that there was nothing on the roof that his father wanted to see, and he was afraid of tears. Daiyu's words couldn't be spoken, so she had to gently lean on Lin Ruhai's shoulder and said, "Father, don't be like this, my mother doesn't know how to feel distressed when she knows." After saying that, he also shed tears.

Jia Lian frowned, thought for a while, and asked, "Uncle, does he have any evidence?" Daiyu saw that Lin Ruhai was emotional, so she didn't wait for him to answer, and replied first: "It's always the people in this mansion." I think that since I have done things for others, I will not ask for nothing! Recently, there have been a lot of people coming and going in the house, and if you want to contact the outside world, now is the best time. ”

After speaking, he took a sip of tea and continued: "Brother, don't be suspenseful about this, I have arranged for someone to keep an eye on it, and I can't run away from those few!" Although the tone was gentle, it was not difficult to hear the resentment. Lin Ruhai sighed, touched her head and said, "Don't think too much." The Father will always protect you. Never let you ...... too"

Hearing this, Jia Lian suddenly thought of Mrs. Jia's letter to Lin Ruhai. And he took it out of his bosom. Lin Ruhai took the letter, only glanced at it a few times and then looked up at Daiyu. looks like he wants to say and stops. Daiyu knew that she was going to take her to Beijing, but she didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Jia Lian said: "My nephew thinks that this is very good, at least it will be much safer in the capital." And the nephew is different from the sister, and the aunt is also different. So I stayed to help my uncle too. Jia Lian said this, but Daiyu couldn't be silent anymore, so she asked, "What does my brother mean by this?" ”

Lin Ruhai saw that he had said this, so he handed over the letter in his hand to Daiyu, although Daiyu knew that he was taking himself to Beijing, but he also read it carefully. Seeing that there was no mention of marriage in my heart, I was at peace in my heart. Lin Ruhai no longer concealed it: "Since your grandmother intends to take you to upbring, I also have this heart, you have no mother's upbringing, and you have no brothers and sisters to support you......"

Before she finished speaking, Daiyu hurriedly retorted: "Grandmother's words are unreasonable!" Knowing that my mother is gone, and I am filial piety, where is the reason to be a guest at someone else's house? He didn't look at Lin Ruhai's expression and continued: "Even if I want to ask my grandmother to raise me, it is right that I should pass the filial piety period." After saying that, she lowered her head, and no one looked at her, and no one could see her expression.

Daiyu is not tall, so when she lowered her head like this, Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian really didn't see the resentful look in Daiyu's eyes. Just listening to Daiyu's words, Lin Ruhai couldn't say anything in the end. sighed before he said, "I thought that since your brother is here, when your mother comes out of the funeral, your brother will escort you and I can rest assured." ”

There was no lack of gloom in the words, and Jia Lian didn't know what to say for a while, so he also remained silent, but he was also conflicted in his heart. If there is no today's matter, he also thinks that Daiyu's words are reasonable, but he knows that his aunt's matter is done by people, and he can't help but worry about Daiyu.

Daiyu knew what Lin Ruhai was worried about, and wanted to say that she could take care of and protect herself, but she couldn't say it. For a moment there was silence in the study.

In the end, it was Lin Ruhai who broke the deadlock and sighed: "So when your mother goes back after the funeral, I will hand over a letter to your grandmother." After that, he didn't want to say anything more. At this time, Jia Lian said: "At this time, it is so urgent, how can my nephew abandon my uncle to protect himself?" ”

Lin Ruhai looked up at Jia Lian, very relieved, but still said: "This matter has been decided, you don't have to say much." Yu'er is my Lin Ruhai's girl, I am dead, and I have to protect her! Even if you can't ......" said this, Lin Ruhai suddenly turned his head to look at Daiyu, smiled before continuing: "Our father and daughter are companions." Go down to your mother! The smile was very sad.

These words were categorical, and Jia Lian and Dai Yugu were frightened when they heard this, and Daiyu couldn't help but look at Lin Ruhai with tears in her eyes and said, "But my daughter is here, dragging down my father?" Lin Ruhai knew that Daiyu had been smart since she was a child, but she didn't expect her to be so keen.

At this time, he also sighed before saying: "It's not easy for them to move me directly, after all, in addition to Yanzheng, I also have the position of a doctor in Lantai Temple." It's just that you ......" Daiyu immediately understood Lin Ruhai's meaning and asked, "Is my daughter going to leave?" Seeing that Lin Ruhai stared at him and didn't say a word, Daiyu then asked, "Do you have to go to the capital?" ”

At this time, Lin Ruhai said: "It's not that you have to go to the capital, but apart from the capital, where can you go?" After speaking, there were tears in his eyes.

Daiyu thought for a while and said: "When my mother dies, I always have to send it back to the ancestral grave, and my mother is willing to go back to Gusu." So the daughter sent her mother back. Our family in Guiyuan Temple adds sesame oil money every year, and if we want to do things for our mother, we are also willing. ”

Daiyu said it so clearly, Lin Ruhai didn't understand something, but he still shook his head and sighed: "Where is your girl's family living in the old mansion by herself?" If anything, the Father is far away. And there are no relatives to take care of. ”

After listening to the words, Jia Lian also understood that Lin Ruhai did not leave himself here, and saw that Lin Ruhai was worried that Daiyu was alone in the old mansion and no one took care of her, thinking that if she took good care of Daiyu, Lin Ruhai would be much more relaxed, so she said: "If my uncle can trust my nephew." The nephew was willing to accompany his cousin back to the wake. I think that in two or three years, things should come to an end. ”

Seeing Lin Ruhai's hesitant expression, Jia Lian hurriedly added: "My nephew should also take the exam the year after tomorrow, and this time I should go to Gusu to study quietly, and if I have a reputation in the future, I will not fall into the name of my uncle's flower." Lin Ruhai thought for a while and said, "That's fine." ”

Daiyu herself lives in the ancestral house with her aunt and embroidery master, Lin Ruhai is not at ease, but she really can't leave. Jia Lian said at this time that he hoped to study with peace of mind, and was even considerate. Lin Ruhai comforted the hot paste in his heart, and felt very good when he thought about it carefully.

Daiyu is surrounded by Grandma Sun, Jin'er and others who watched her grow up, as well as Mama Chen, Qiluo and others left by Jia Min, and there are still clansmen to take care of them. I can send Jia Lian to study at the Lin Family Academy. Although he is a nephew, he was trained by himself, and he has a very good relationship with Daiyu.

The ancestral house also has the old housekeeper Lin Yi. At that time, let Zhao Bing, the head of the nursing home, bring more manpower, and go back together. Moreover, Huang Jiyun even likes Daiyu, and he will take care of one or two of them. I made up my mind, and the rest of the matter still needs to be considered. (To be continued.) )
