11. Belin's father and sisters entered Beijing together
Qingyun and his party gradually moved away, the breeze blew, and the bamboo leaves rustled.
In the West Garden, across the wall, a man in white was lying on a bench leisurely, holding a book in his hand, but he tilted his head slightly, listening to the movement outside the wall. It wasn't until the footsteps over there could no longer be heard that there was a sigh in his mouth: "Is there hope for a fight?" Then I'll see how you fight. ”
Although he has always liked to be quiet and ignore foreign affairs, he is not ignorant of foreign affairs. Just from the little girl mentioned the Jia family, you can infer the identity of the group, it must be the family of Yangzhou City Patrol Salt Imperial History Lin Ruhai, when he was a child in the palace, he saw Lin Ruhai who had just explored the flowers, not only the article is a good character, but also after the honor, the emperor's grandfather appreciated it very much, that is, after his father ascended the throne, he also cherished Lin Hai's talent, so that he was re-elected as the salt government for many years.
When I arrived in Yangzhou a few days ago, the people around me inquired about the interesting things in Yangzhou City and reported them, so I knew that Lin Ruhai had a righteous daughter. I can't imagine that this righteous girl is so different.
Hong Aya looked at the wind between the trees, and stepped forward to remind: "Lord Wang, go back to the house, it's windy outside." ”
"Got another letter?" He asked.
"Yes, the queen is worried about the prince, please go back, and said, even if you don't want to do that, it doesn't matter, the mother will talk to the emperor."
"Then let's prepare, and leave tomorrow."
Three days later, the Lin family was busy, and Fu Bo commanded his subordinates to neatly load the things that had been sorted out these days, and ordered the entourage, repeatedly admonishing and instructing. At this time, Lin Qingyun and Lin Daiyu went to see Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai looked at the two daughters in front of him, especially Daiyu, and couldn't help but think of Jia Min who had passed away, and his heart became more and more reluctant.
"Rest assured, my father-in-law will not make my sister feel wronged if I take care of my sister." Lin Qingyun knew that because of his last trip to Jiafu, Lin Ruhai was full of distrust of the Jia family, for fear that his two daughters would be wronged this time, but apart from the Jia family, he really couldn't find a suitable trustee.
"Daddy, don't worry, my sister and I will take care of ourselves, Daddy is at home alone, don't be too tired, don't pay attention to maintenance." Daiyu thought that the parting was imminent, her eyes were already full of tears, and she tried her best not to worry her father to stop her sadness, and her mouth followed Qingyun's statement.
"Okay, okay." Lin Ruhai took out a small wooden box and opened it, and inside was a stack of silver tickets. Said: "It's 10,000 taels, although it is said that if you go to a relative's house, you should eat and live by someone to cook, but you can't save the cost of making a little bit of human contact, it's all in this 10,000 taels of silver, if it's not enough, just talk to Uncle Chen." Uncle Chen went to Beijing with you to take care of the houses in Beijing, and I told you about this earlier. ”
As he spoke, he handed over the box and handed it to Daiyu.
He also said: "Our family also has a few shops in Beijing, all of which were your mother's dowry back then, and I put all the deed documents in the box, and you can take care of them." ”
This matter was mentioned privately by Qingyun and Lin Ruhai, the reason was to let Daiyu practice, and besides, there was not much time to be sad when she was busy. Lin Ruhai saw that their housekeeper had been cooking well during this time, and Daiyu's complexion was indeed getting better, so he made such preparations, and at the same time blamed himself for the negligence of the first time.
Lin Ruhai said again: "Although I went to Beijing, my grandmother must be loved, but after all, it is the first person in the Guogong Mansion, you are just a girl from a relative's family, don't open your mouth for anything, just tell Uncle Chen what you lack, and at the end of the year, your father will go to Beijing to report on his work." He looked at the teary-eyed Daiyu again, smiled and said with relief: "What is Yu'er crying for, it's good for her father, but for now, let's separate." Although you should pay attention to everything when you go out, but you are the daughter of an official family, don't blindly tolerate it, discuss it with Qingyun in case of trouble, and ask the two grandmothers if you don't understand. ”
"Don't worry, daddy, my daughter can save it." Daiyu's voice was choked, and she really didn't worry about her father staying in Yangzhou alone. A few years ago, it was reluctant to leave home, and now in addition to reluctance, there is more uneasiness, Yangzhou officialdom is about to come, if my father has a ......
At this time, Fu Bo said outside the door: "Master, the carriages and horses are all ready, and the second master of Jiafu has come to resign." ”
"Please come in." Lin Ruhai said a few more words to the sisters, and then asked them to board the car first.
Lin Qingyun took Daiyu's hand and walked out of the study, and took a look at Jia Lian from a distance, and the maids in the two rooms had already surrounded them, hugging the two of them to board the carriage prepared in the morning.
This time Shangjing is still by water, Qingyun and Daiyu are in the same car, Daiyu finally couldn't hold back her tears after getting in the car, and she couldn't stop sobbing. Qingyun knew that she was sad in her heart, and waited for her to cry for a while before she was almost relieved, and explained the various arrangements to her again. Previously, Daiyu was in a depressed mood and worried too much, where did she have the heart to think about those trivial things.
The last time he went to Jia's house, Lin Ruhai was afraid that there would be more people to talk about, but this time he was afraid that there would be less. There are a total of sixteen big and small maids in the two-person room, Mama Li and Mama Zhou, all of which are brought to Beijing, if you go to Jiafu to live, only bring four big maids and Mama. Uncle Chen settled the rest of the people in the old mansion of the Lin family in Beijing, repairing it on the one hand, and tidying up the people on the other hand, and also making New Year's gifts for the friends of various generations in Beijing. In the end, it is more convenient for Qingyun and Daiyu to go to Beijing, and they can directly do some things in Beijing, which is also the meaning of informing the Lin family that the ladies of the Lin family live in Beijing.
Qingyun deliberately told Daiyu about these things, causing her to slowly stop her tears and discuss together.
When she heard the voices of Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian coming from afar, Daiyu couldn't help but feel sad, but she couldn't help crying.
Lin Ruhai walked to the side of the car, and seemed to be able to vaguely hear Daiyu's suppressed choking, and instructed through the window: "Yu'er, don't be sad, didn't Daddy say it earlier, why don't you worry." I have explained everything to your second brother Lian, he and your second sister-in-law will take care of you. In the end, he said to Qingyun: "You have always been steady, treat Yu'er like a sister, and I will hand Yu'er over to you." ”
"Father-in-law, just rest assured." Qingyun understood the meaning of Lin Ruhai's words, and he must have promised Jia Lian some benefits.
The carriage finally started, reached the dock, abandoned the car and boarded the ship.
The Lin family brought a lot of people and things, and it was said that Lin Qingyun was afraid of causing taboos during the filial piety period, so he would live in the old house of the Lin family, so he brought Uncle Chen and others to clean up the dishes. Everyone knows that Lin Qingyun is just the righteous daughter of the Lin family, a side branch of the Lin family, and has nothing to do with the Jia family. Everyone only said that Lin Ruhai was a strange person, but the step-son recognized a righteous daughter and loved the righteous daughter so much.
Lin Ruhai does pity Lin Qingyun, and his love is not as sincere as Daiyu, but this move is to cover up the old house, otherwise someone asked why so many people went to Beijing How to answer? Didn't the prefect and others think about anything else? If you guess that Lin Ruhai is going to Beijing, wouldn't the arrangement be in vain?
There were three large boats in a line, one of which was inhabited, and the other two were full of cages.
As soon as he boarded the ship, Wang Xifeng opened several boxes, which were full of brand-new head jewelry, especially the large and round beads on the top were really beautiful. These were all sent by Lin Ruhai when she was leaving, saying that she had worked hard for her to run, and asked her to take more care of Daiyu.
Wang Xifeng sighed at Lin Ruhai's generosity, caught a glimpse of Jia Lian coming in, and said with a smile while closing the box: "Yo, look at the second master's face, what benefits did you get from Uncle Lin?" ”
Jia Lian knew that he couldn't hide it from her, so he took out the five hundred taels of silver he had prepared earlier and handed it to her: "In the end, Uncle Lin will never let you and me work hard in vain, and you will take more care of Sister Lin in the future, it is not good to take people's money for nothing." ”
"If you want you to say, the old lady loves Sister Lin so much, how can I be lazy." Wang Xifeng snatched the silver ticket, although he knew that he must have secretly intercepted some, but it was okay.
When Jia Lian heard her mention the old lady, she couldn't help but sneer: "The old lady loves Sister Lin, but she can't surpass Baoyu, otherwise, how could you let you and I pick it up at this juncture?" It's just that I heard that the Xue family is preparing to send a female election, what is the old lady nervous about? ”
Wang Xifeng smiled: "Ouch, my second master, what do you say the old lady is nervous about?" Of course, the Xue family wants their daughter to enter the palace to be rich and rich, but what does my aunt think in her heart? Besides, our eldest sister has been in the palace for all these years and is still a female official, so can the eldest sister of the Xue family go in again? Even the old lady refused. ”
"You women......" Jia Lian shook his head and went out to the deck to have fun.
