CHAPTER XXXVII
But it was said that Lin Hai came to the post house, and the official at the door heard that he was busy and said, "Lord Lin, someone has been waiting for you for a long time." Because he shouted, "Little brother, Lord Lin is here." β
I saw a child who looked like a maid running over and kowtowing to him: "Hello aunt!" I am by the side of the third master of Rongguo Mansion. Our master sent me here to wait for my aunt, I just want to ask my aunt when he will be free to see Miss Lin, if he doesn't have a letter to take it back, I'm afraid Miss Lin will not be able to explain there. On the other hand, I also invited Mr. Zhang to come over to the house. Seeing that Lin Hai was still thinking about it, he added, "Our master said that the world is not as big as a child." β
Lin Hai thought that his daughter had already thought that her whole heart had melted, if she didn't look forward to seeing each other? I just think it's a bit abrupt in the past. When he heard this, he immediately threw away his worries and said, "I'll go after a little tidying up!" β
The little guy answered: "I'll go back to report the news first, and my aunt will come?" β
Lin Hai nodded, and the little guy kowtowed again and ran away. Lin Hai couldn't help but laugh, the kids around Jia Cong were all a little similar to him. So he packed up his meeting and went to Rongguo Mansion.
At this time, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian are all in the yamen, Jia Yu is still in the dart game, and Lin Hai naturally visited Jia's mother first when he arrived at Rongguo Mansion. Lin Daiyu got the gossip from her little disciple, so she found an excuse to wait at Jia's mother early, and when she heard the report that "Aunt Lin is here", she stood up happily. Jia Mu hurriedly invited in. Jia Cong had already found a hidden place outside Jia's mother's courtyard to wait, and when he heard the word from his subordinates, he hurried in to join in the fun. At this time, it was inconvenient for Jia Mu to fork him out, so he had to leave it to him.
Lin Hai saw his daughter when he entered the door, and she was much older than before, and she couldn't help but cry. Jia Cong has always been an unruly person, so he dragged Daiyu and went to Lin Hai's side. Daiyu knew that according to the rules, his father had to salute Jia's mother first, and then he saluted like his father, but he wanted to go to his father's side as soon as possible; Although Jia Cong was young, he was not small in his martial arts, and his feet were involuntarily pulled by him. Lin Haizong is a courteous person, where can he bear his nature? When the father and daughter saw each other, they couldn't care about each other, hugging their heads and crying.
At this time, Baoyu had not yet gotten out of school, and only Jia Cong, a man in the house, had no intention of interfering at all, and was still crying with him, so no one persuaded him for a long time. Jia Mu coughed twice, and when she saw that Jia Cong didn't react, she struck the ground twice with a cane, but he still didn't hear it. I had to look at the mandarin duck, and the mandarin duck hurriedly came over to persuade him. It's just that she is a girl after all, and although what she says is appropriate, she can't quite reach the ears of the father and daughter. Jia Mu had no choice but to wait. After a long time, the two gradually stopped crying, and came over to salute Jia's mother. Lin Hai apologized again and again before he lost his manners. Jia Mu sighed: "This is human nature. β
After everyone sat down in turn, Jia's mother asked, "Uncle is going to be transferred to Beijing this time?" β
Lin Haidao: "Today's face is just a reminiscence, and the future is still unknown, but I am afraid that I still have to return to Gusu for another term." β
Mother Jia said: "It is natural to serve the country, and my uncle also needs to maintain it in his spare time." Then he asked, "I wonder where my uncle is staying now?" β
Lin Haidao: "This trip is urgent, and the old house in Beijing has not been repaired for many years, so I temporarily live in the post house. β
Mother Jia was busy "cleaning up the guest room with her uncle".
Lin Hai waved his hand and said: "No, I will be very good in the post house, and the official meeting is cheap." β
Jia Mu asked, "Aren't you closer to Yu'er?" β
Lin Hai was stunned.
Jia Cong hurriedly interjected: "I heard that the Beijing Post House is very big and beautiful, many adults and foreign envoys who have entered Beijing have brought their families to live in the post house, and my uncle and Sister Lin's father and daughter have only been together for a long time, so why not take my sister to live in the post house?" β
Jia Mu immediately criticized: "Nonsense! How can a girl from a good family go to live in a post house! β
Lin Haidao: "There are many adults living in the post house with treasures, but the house is smaller. β
Daiyu hurriedly said: "Living with my father, where will I be small?" β
Jia Cong saw that Jia's mother was about to open her mouth, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, will you leave after the New Year?" β
This Jia Mu also wanted to know, so she didn't say anything, waiting for Lin Hai to answer.
Lin Haidao: "Although I don't know when I will go back, I naturally want to spend the New Year in Beijing." β
Jia Cong said: "There are still two months before the New Year, plus the New Year, the time is not short." Sister Lin is an extremely delicate character, and it is not appropriate to live in the post house for so long. β
Jia Mu nodded again and again: "What Cong boy said is very true. β
Because she spoke slowly and logically, although there was still the next sentence after saying this, where could she match Jia Cong's little steel teeth, he blocked in front of Jia's mother and said: "Uncle Lin must have a lot of friends in Beijing, such as Brother Xianwang, who just came to pick you up. Ask them to borrow a small idle house, and they will be embarrassed to charge you for the house. β
Lin Hai naturally knew that Jia Mu wanted him to live in Rongguo Mansion, but according to his identity and the words of the Fang Cai Saint, how could he live here? Fang Cai was still thinking about how to explain the inconvenience to Jia's mother, and he could take Daiyu out, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Cong'er is smart, this idea is good, I will send someone to borrow the house from Xianwang Chitose." β
Jia Mu opened her mouth several times to say something, until she heard the name of "Xianwang", she dispelled her thoughts, and she still regretted it very much: "Why don't you live in this mansion, it's convenient to live." β
Jia Cong came to add to the blockage again: "That...... Uncle often has to go out to meet guests, and the next person shouts 'aunt' every day and loses face, do we have a small house attached to the house? My uncle brought a lot of his entourage. β
Jia Muden thought of Lixiangyuan from time to time. If that place is empty, how convenient is it for Lin Hai to live? Baoyu can go over every day and ask for teaching. I let the second family's Xue family occupy it, and I regretted it for a while. But she carefully calculated the mansion again, but she couldn't find a second very convenient courtyard, so she had to give up. Lin Hai really sent someone to find Situ Pan to borrow the house.
Hearing that Jia Cong said, "I just came to pick up your brother Xianwang", Jia's mother asked again: "Is it actually Xianwang Chitose who went to pick up his uncle?" How did Cong'er know? β
Lin Hai caught a glimpse of Jia Cong blinking at him, so he said, "When I came, I met a boat on the way back to Beijing, and I arrived at the shore at the same time, but it happened that the owner of the boat was actually a friend of Cong'er, so he met me at the dock. "I didn't say much.
Jia Yu and his wife didn't want Jia Mu and others to often think that there was a dart game outside their big house, and they only said in the house that it was to find a job for Jia Yu's former soldiers, and they didn't have any business, but just spent money to support people. When Jia Mu heard it, she only said that "it's better than wasting money idly", so she put it aside and didn't ask. I also knew that the dart game would lead Jia Huan and Jia Cong to study every day, and only to practice boxing and feet, and more and more Linden only Baoyu was a reliable one, and often sighed to Mandarin Ducks and others, "Baoyu will not even have a foil in the future."
Mother Jia glanced at Jia Cong: "What friends do the children have?" β
Jia Cong said: "He was originally a friend of Brother Feng, and now he is also my friend, his kung fu is so high!" β
When Jia Mu heard this, she thought that Feng Ziying was leading him. Because Feng Ziying often led him around to play, most of the people he made friends with were people who practiced martial arts, so he just did. Seeing that Lin Hai didn't mention the matter of King Xian at all, thinking that he was too humble and unwilling to swagger, his heart became more and more satisfied.
Not long after, Baoyu came back from school and heard that Uncle Lin was coming, so he changed his clothes and came to meet him. When Jia Mu saw him, her eyebrows and eyes immediately opened when she smiled, and she hurriedly pulled her relatives to Lin Hai.
Lin Hai saw that this son was good-looking, polite, and quite liked, and casually asked some knowledge. Baoyu had only read the third book of the Book of Songs in front of his former master, and he had only studied for two or three months, and he had never opened a plug-in, although he was still extremely intelligent compared to ordinary schoolchildren, because he was not very good because of Jia Cong, a disciple who was a few years younger than his daughter, as a sideline. Therefore, Lin Hai never took it to heart.
Lin Daiyu has moved to live with her sisters early, first with the intimate flattery of the little disciples, then with Wang Xifeng's sincere care, and in recent years, there has been Jia Huan looking up and worshiping, although she still sees Baoyu a little different from others, and she has never been as attentive as the original book.
The people who went to King Xian's Mansion came back after a short time. Situ Pan has a small courtyard in Lychee Lane, which is very quiet, and it is a place where he usually treats his friends. And he was generous and tight, and he really didn't accept Lin Hai's house money. Lin Hai was overjoyed, and said to the steward who came, "Come to thank your prince in person", and hurriedly asked Daiyu to go back and clean up, and go over today.
When Jia Cong heard that the courtyard was not very far from Rongguo Mansion, he could still go over from time to time, and he was secretly happy.
Jia Mu hurriedly said, "No." Even though it is often cleaned, it is not a place to live every day. It's too late today, this time I'll take Yu'er over, in case something is wrong, it's not good. It's not too late to go again tomorrow. β
Daiyu has only seen her father for so long, how can she be willing to go again with Ming'er? She was also inconvenient to refute Jia's mother's words, and was secretly anxious.
Jia Cong saw that his husband twisted his handkerchief into a ball, and immediately said: "The ancestor is too worried, even if there is something wrong, it is just some small things, such as the incense in the incense burner is not liked, and the old and unsightly veil on the window. There is no such thing as a bed that is not clean? How can Brother Xianwang's place be worse than an ordinary hotel? My sister's daily bedding and clothes are naturally brought over, and it doesn't take a lot of effort. β
Mother Jia originally wanted to say that if the bed and bedding were not neat or something, she actually asked a "brother of the virtuous king" to block it back, and said angrily: "When adults speak, where can you interject and be rude." β
Lin Hai glanced at Jia Cong with a smile, and hurriedly said: "Even if there is an incense burner window screen that does not fit the eyes, it is inconvenient for people to change it." It's always borrowed. β
Jia Cong spread his hands: "Here again!" What's wrong with that? Sister Lin has been looking forward to it every day since she got the letter that her uncle is coming to Beijing, and she is about to become a father stone. Everyone laughed. I've always been a kid and a naughty person, and I think I'm panicking when I don't see my dad for a day. β
Coincidentally, Ziguang sent a message to the dart bureau, Jia Yu was reluctant to be lively, so he asked Jia Si to bring it back, and he heard this sentence at the door, his smiling old face blossomed, and he snorted in his mouth: "Really?" I can't see how good you are, but no one is doing it every day. Forcing you to read and practice calligraphy. β
Jia Cong snorted, and rushed over like a small cannonball to catch his son: "Dad~~"
Jia Yu smiled and stretched out an arm to wrap his arms around him: "Stinky boy! Seeing Lin Ruhai and Baoyu were extremely envious. Jia Cong was coquettish and stupid and rubbed his thighs into it.
Everyone saluted again. When Du'an sat down, Mother Jia couldn't mention the matter of letting Dai Yuming'er go again, so she only said, "Take all the girls and women around you with you." Daiyu responded one by one. He also instructed the mandarin ducks, "You go and say it in person, my words, let the purple juan and a few of them serve well, and they will naturally be rewarded when they come back." β
This is actually not very appropriate, but since Lin Hai can take out his daughter, he doesn't care about it, and laughs at it.
Jia Yuyin said: "These days, there is a Mr. Zhang and I to recuperate, the most knowledgeable, and the medical science is very profound, this time is just here, I see that my brother-in-law does not seem to be very good, I must take care of some children, why don't you go over and let him take a look?" β
Jia Mu glared at him: "You don't know where to find the Mongolian doctor, don't recommend it to your brother-in-law at will, take my post and ask the imperial doctor to come." β
Lin Hai knew in his heart that this was the doctor Jia Cong said at the dock, and according to the words of the little guy next to Jia Cong, he was afraid that he was invited immediately, so he hurriedly said: "I just saw the imperial doctor in the palace." Since it is used by my uncle, the medical Tao is naturally not bad, but I am afraid that this gentleman will be too tired. β
Jia Yu said: "People have come, where will they be tired?" Go and take a pulse, and you won't miss dinner. He stood up.
Jia's mother was not happy, but it was inconvenient for her to give Jia Yu a face in front of Lin Hai, so she had to give up.
Jia Yu led Lin Hai into the car, and Lin Hai was a little surprised, but he still went up. The car walked a long way to the courtyard of Jia Yu. Lin Hai had already remembered that Dai Yu's letter said that Jia Yu's residence was the garden of Rongguo Mansion, and he was secretly a little upset for him.
After seeing Zhang Youshi, they exchanged a few words of greeting with each other, and carefully helped their pulses to see the symptoms. Mr. Zhang sighed: "The liver, spleen and kidneys of adults are damaged, but fortunately, adults have recuperated in recent years, otherwise I am afraid that this will be about to be bad." β
Lin Hai was surprised, many imperial doctors in the palace did not dare to say this, or an old doctor in Gusu that day bluntly said so, so he trusted it very much and hurriedly asked for advice.
Zhang Youshi asked: "I think there was a holy hand who took a look for the adults that day, can you borrow a prescription to take a look." β
The prescription prescribed by the old doctor was received by one of his old family members, and this time the old man happened to follow, and hurriedly took it out and handed it to Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang looked at it carefully for a long time and sighed: "The student stole the teacher." "Because the square was neatly placed on the table, he respectfully bowed. He thought again: "This gentleman's recipe is excellent, but now the adults are in the capital and the atmosphere is different. I will temporarily adjust a few flavors of medicine with the adults, and then change them back when the adults return to Gusu. β
Lin Hai hurriedly thanked him, and Mr. Zhang told him a few words about what to do on weekdays, and went outside to open a prescription without mentioning it. Jia Yu opened his mouth to mention that Mr. Zhang's son had donated the Zhenjiang County Order, but Jia Cong saw that the words were wrong and hurriedly pulled his sleeve and interrupted loudly. Although Jia Yu didn't know why, he stopped. Lin Hai saw it in his eyes, although he didn't know what was going on, so he didn't know it.
Later, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and others successively went down to the government and returned to the house, and everyone saw each other. Lin Hai was accompanied by a group of people to have dinner in Rongguo Mansion tonight.
After the meal, he went to Jia Yu's courtyard and thanked him for taking care of his daughter and writing letters twice a month. Jia Yu and Jia Si Gong San have been together for so long, and they have been exposed to it, the bastard temperament back then is long gone, and the other outfit makes the clothes cover up, which looks very cool and generous. Lin Hai deeply regretted that he didn't know people before: "I didn't know that my brother was such a downright person." Jia Lian and Jia Cong looked at each other quietly, and they were secretly amused.
The two of them chatted for a long time, and Zijuan came over and replied, "The girl has cleaned up." Lin Hai wanted to leave. Jia Yu had a lot of interest in talking with him at this time, and he was a little reluctant, so he sent it outside the Yimen in person, and asked Ming'er to come to have a cup of tea again.
Lin Hai took the opportunity to whisper: "Today I am facing the saint in Daming Palace, and there are two sentences for me to convey to my grace." β
Jia Yu was shocked and hurriedly asked what to say.
Although he knew that the imperial court was difficult and the Jia family owed money and did not repay a piece of credit, Lin Hai still blushed when he said these words. "Do you know that your family owes 800,000 taels of silver to the treasury?"
Can Jia Yu not know? His mind turned fast at this time, and he was stunned: "Our family is extremely rich, why do we need to borrow money from the treasury?" Where did the sea hear the rumors. β
Lin Haifang saw that he was cool, and when he heard the words of "not eating minced meat", he was a little funny, and said, "I borrowed it when my father-in-law was there." If you don't know, there is one, and your mother-in-law must know. β
Jia Yu pretended to be naΓ―ve: "No." β
Lin Haidao: "Enhou can ask the old lady or go to the household department to check." Isn't Lian'er in the household department? β
Jia Yu stroked his beard, thought for a while, and said, "My brother-in-law will definitely not coax me, I'll ask." Sage...... Want to pay back our family? He said with one wall in his mouth, and one wall in his heart was gritting his teeth: No wonder we turned a blind eye and let us loot the private property of the slaves, and the co-authorship is for this.
Lin Hai nodded again and again, and finally endured the words of the sage. After speaking, he couldn't bear to see Jia Yu's stunned appearance, and hid his face and got into the car.
On the other hand, Lin Daiyu was ready early, said goodbye to the sisters and left the house with her father.
Jia Yu returned to the house and hurriedly called out to his two sons: "Hurry up and go to the dart game!" "Today, the dart bureau is taking over Liu Xianglian, and Gong Sanyi, Jia Sige, and Liu are all here.
Jia Cong was eating a snack, and was stunned when he heard this: "Huh? β
Jia Yu looked at him: "Cong'er doesn't have to go." β
"Go!" Jia Cong hurriedly pushed the dim sum plate away, "I'm going!" βγ
