However, he said that on this day, Lin Hai had a letter to Beijing, and because he sent someone back to tidy up the old house, he asked Jia Yu to help take care of one or two. Jia Yu didn't know how to take care of it at all, so he threw the matter to Jia Cong. Jia Cong smiled: "It's too simple! He turned around and handed it over to the main master, Miss Lin.

Lin Daiyu knew that her father was going back to Beijing, and she was counting the days on her fingers half a year ago; He also knew that he was going to send men to repair the house. In the past few years, she has read a lot of books on feng shui creation, and recently she has often wondered how to settle her home. In the early years of Hengzhu, she went to the mansion in the south of the city to see the tunnels a lot of times, and the second offender was familiar with the road, and jumped into the carriage from Lixiangyuan after changing her clothes.

There were only five or six people from the Lin family who came to check the cleaning first, and when they saw their eldest lady, they were so shocked that they almost forgot to salute. Daiyu smiled: "I'm just here to see, don't panic." Ignoring the clutter, he walked around inside and out, and then commanded, "I know roughly." You will only repair the place where it should be repaired, and all the furniture and decorations, the colors of the windows and tents, and the transplantation of flowers and trees shall be at my command, and you shall not mess around. The subordinates should say "yes" in unison.

When she returned to Rongguo's Mansion, she spread out a large piece of drawing paper and concentrated on drawing pictures for herself. Jia Cong glanced at it a few times and sighed: "No matter when, decoration is a big project. ”

In the mid-autumn of that year, Lin Hai returned to Beijing from Jiangnan, and the three disciples greeted him at the dock early. Before he landed on the shore, Yang Song saw his younger brother Yang Heng standing next to Jarvis, Yang Heng was holding his nephew Yang An in his hands, and his heart fell to the ground steadily. couldn't help but smile bitterly at Lin Hai: "It's too blatant." ”

After Yang Heng "committed suicide in fear of sin", Jia Cong and Jia Huan completely told his sisters that he was arrested by Zhao Cheng and rescued by his friends until someone died in his name. The girls were stunned and speechless. Jia Cong spread his hands and said: "Sister Lin, we don't know what to do next in this matter, please tell Uncle Lin and ask Brother Yang what he means." At this time, the second brother Yang and Xiao An'er temporarily lived in Lixiangyuan. Daiyu then wrote to Lin Hai to inquire as she said. Lin Hai replied to the book, and asked the father and son of the Yang family to live in Rongguo Mansion temporarily, and then make a decision when they returned to Beijing. Now that Lin Hai returned to Beijing, Jia Cong was bold and simply took Yang Heng to the dock to pick up people. There are few people in Hengzhi who know Yang Heng in Beijing, and it would be better if Zhao Cheng's people saw it.

The boat docked, and Mi'er jumped up and picked up his husband first. Lin Hai saw that the two little ones were much taller, and he was indignant. Jia Cong and Jia Huan leaned up and hugged Lin Hai's arm one by one, and coquettishly behaved: "Sir, you're back!" If we don't come back, we will all be abducted by Mr. Su! Lin Hai wanted to put on a show and say something serious, so that the two of them couldn't say anything when they were in harmony, so he only stroked their heads and was silent for a long time.

When they left the dock and were about to board the car, Jia Cong twisted his head and looked around for a long time, but he didn't see Situ Pan, and he was a little disappointed.

Lin Hai then entered the palace to face the saint, talked about everything in office in the past few years, and asked the saint to stay for lunch before leaving the palace gate in the afternoon. Because go back to the Lin Mansion first. When I entered the house, I saw that the courtyard was clean, the flowers and trees were neat, and it was renovated everywhere, the layout was generous, the setting was exquisite, and the subtleties were tactful and exquisite. What a brilliant handiwork. ”

The servant returned: "A flower, a tree, a few chairs are all orders of the eldest lady." ”

Lin Hai exclaimed: "Isn't she in Rongguo Mansion?" ”

The next person said: "The eldest lady came the day after we entered Beijing, and she often came to tell us how to arrange it. The things added were all bought by the third master of Rongguo Mansion, and the eldest lady said that it was appropriate to let him honor the lord once. ”

Lin Hai couldn't help laughing and said, "He only has a few dollars, and he is not his old man." So I checked inside and out, and the more I looked, the more satisfied I became. After packing up a little, he went to Rongguo's mansion.

When Mother Jia heard the news that Aunt Lin was coming, she sighed, cheered up and ordered someone to come in quickly.

Because he was afraid that she would be verbose, Jia Yu told her that Lin Hai would only return to Beijing in the next two days, and the house had even been cleaned up, so he was afraid that he would come to pick up Daiyu back that day. Mother Jia hesitated for a moment when she heard this, and asked, "Boss, in your opinion, can the matter of the two Yu'er be done?" ”

Jia Yu stared at him straightly, and it took a long time before he asked: "The two jades that the old lady is referring to, are they Baoyu and Lin Yatou?" ”

Jia Mu said: "Naturally, it is the two of him." They grew up together since childhood, and they have similar temperaments......"

Jia Yu couldn't help but interrupt: "Old ancestor, forgive my son for being reckless, Baoyu and Lin Yatou's identities are much worse." If the sea is in front of the saint, it is no problem for Lin Yatou to be a princess; The second child's official position is too low......" He endured for a moment, and finally stretched out three fingers, "Three levels lower than Lian'er!" Ruhai's return to Beijing this time will definitely be rising. ”

Jia Mu was stunned and argued forcefully: "How do you know what the palace is like...... How did Daiyu's clean personality go? Baoyu is the master of our Rongguo Mansion after all, where is he not worthy? ”

Jia Yu was also stunned, she didn't expect her to admit death like this, so she had to say: "The ancestor is not undead, and he wants to pick up his daughter like a sea, so ask him by the way." Just don't pull me in, I'm not blind or stupid, it's not appropriate for me to look at him for two and a half points. Jia scolded him angrily.

She really didn't give up, and ordered someone to bring a letter to Baoyu and ask him to come back today. The person who went to deliver the message to Baoyu was originally in charge of running errands outside, but someone first returned the matter to Jia Yu. Because Baoyu went to the academy, the whole person was much more reliable, and Jia Yu looked at him more pleasing than before; and because he is a man in Jiafu, he is not as good as the old lady, but he is just a lady of a deep house, and his face is quite important; Therefore, when Jia Yu heard the news, he ordered the kid to go out and go to the second master of Bao, and when he came back, he only said that he had brought Xin'er. Therefore, Baoyu didn't get a letter from Jia's mother at all, and naturally she didn't go home.

When Lin Hai came in to meet Jia's mother, Jia's mother was extremely melancholy. After sitting for a while, he said: "Uncle, Yu'er has been in our house for all these years, and my wife really likes it. ”

Lin Hai hurriedly said: "Thanks to my mother-in-law for taking good care of my little daughter, my son-in-law is grateful. ”

Jia Mu wiped away her tears and said: "As soon as you come, you will take this child away, I am really reluctant to do it." ”

Lin Haidao: "Hengzhi I have returned to Beijing now, and it is convenient to come and go, and Yu'er will often come to visit her mother-in-law." ”

Jia Mu hurriedly said: "I will send someone to pick her up, you are not allowed to stop her!" ”

Lin Hai hesitated for a moment and said, "Yu'er will come to visit her mother-in-law and sisters when she is free." ”

Jia Mu nodded: "There is another matter I want to discuss with you." She stopped and thought about it again, and said slowly, "Baoyu, this child has a background, and he holds a piece of psychic jade when he hits his mother's womb, which is a strange story that has never been seen in ancient times......"

Before she finished speaking, she heard someone outside "ouch": "Where did Third Master Cong come from?" Scared me. "I had to stop my mouth first.

It turned out that Jia Cong was afraid that Lin Hai would have a thin face and would be uncomfortable dealing with Laipi like Jia's mother, so he hid in Jia's mother's yard early; also bought two clever little girls by Jia's mother's side. When Jia's mother mentioned "You are not allowed to stop it", a girl remembered that her sister had said, but whenever she saw that Lord Lin's face was a little unsightly, she made a password, so she gave a password to the one standing outside, and that one hurriedly came out to give Jia Cong a password.

I saw Jia Conghuan jumping in happily: "Say hello to the ancestors!" Uncle Lin, you are three points more handsome than in the morning! ”

Lin Hai had already guessed what Jia Mu wanted to say, his heart was not happy, and his face sank; When I saw him, I immediately laughed: "You are getting more and more naughty." ”

Jia Cong grimaced and looked up at Jia's mother: "Why does the old ancestor seem to be unhappy?" Is it because my uncle is reluctant to take Sister Lin home? ”

Lin Hai hurriedly got off the donkey: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, the son-in-law will definitely lead Yu'er to visit his mother-in-law." ”

Jia Mu looked at his relieved face, what else didn't she understand? I can't help but be annoyed. Seeing that the two of his master and apprentice sang and harmonized, his heart became more and more unwilling, so he said: "The old woman still wants to ask her uncle for something, and I hope that my uncle will help." ”

When Lin Hai heard that it was "help", it must not be a marriage? Hurriedly said: "Please ask my mother-in-law to command!" ”

Jia Mu said: "The Mr. Su who taught Brother Cong and Brother Huan heard that you recommended it?" Baoyu is the elder brother of the two of them, and the reasoning should be up to Baoyu first! The young and the old are orderly, how can you recommend the two little gentlemen first? I also hope that the virtuous son-in-law will go to Mr. Nasu and recommend Baoyu once, so that they can be brothers in the same family. ”

Lin Hai was immediately stunned! I didn't care about my demeanor, and I opened my mouth for a long time.

Jia Cong's reaction was much faster, and he immediately shouted: "Absolutely impossible! That Baoyu □□. don't have to see people anymore! ”

Jia Mu said angrily: "Why can't you see people? Isn't it a good story that you brothers are in the same family? Could it be that if you have a good husband, your brother can't? ”

Jia Cong stood up and said: "Brother Baoyu is now studying in Yuntai Academy, and their dean, Mr. Xu Renfang, is a great Confucian in the dynasty, and he is full of peach and plums. Brother Baoyu was wrongfully convicted a few days ago, and Mr. Xu praised him for being 'impatient and gentlemanly', and now he is a model for their entire academy. Mr. Xu just praised him on the front foot, and he changed the master on the back foot! I'm afraid that not only will I offend Mr. Xu, but the entire Yuntai Academy will treat him as a traitor. The academy is full of talents, and now many adults in the court and China are from the same family, from Beijing officials to local officials. If he becomes a traitor to Yuntai Academy, Brother Baoyu really doesn't have to mess around in the court in the future, and one person and one kick is enough to trample him to death. ”

Jia Mu was stunned.

Lin Hai hurriedly said: "Very much." No matter how much Su Zheng protects his disciples, he can't resist a academy as big as Yuntai Academy, he is just a nerd. It is a taboo for a disciple to change his master for no reason, not to mention that Mr. Xu praised Baoyu. ”

Jia Mu listened to what the two of them said, and it sounded extremely strict, and she couldn't help but be silent. After a while, he said, "That academy is just a academy after all, and he is not a personal disciple of the dean...... Since Mr. Xu has praised him, and wait a little longer, everyone will forget about this matter a little more. ”

Seeing that she still didn't give up, Lin Hai couldn't help frowning, and before he was about to speak, Jia Cong secretly tugged at the corner of his clothes and said, "What the ancestor said is that he will talk about it in two years." ”

Seeing that the two things were not done, and Baoyu did not come back, Jia Mu was upset, and her face showed fatigue.

Jia Cong persuaded: "Why should the ancestor worry about Brother Baoyu every day. If he is not capable of himself, it is useless for you to tear down the heavens for him; He is now praised by his husband every day, appreciated by the dean, and supported by his classmates, the ancestor just eats, drinks, watches plays, enjoys Qingfu, prepares rewards, and waits for him to come to Japan High School to reward the good news, what are you worried about? ”

The last two sentences are the most popular for Jia's mother. Such words were all said by Wang Xifeng in the past, but now because Meng'er is too young, Jia Cong has nothing to do and instigates a few words, "The younger the child, the more inseparable he will be from his mother, otherwise he will like the nurse more than his own mother in the future", she didn't even take care of the housekeeper's affairs. Hengzhu is now in charge of Yingchun, and Yingchun takes special care of her sister-in-law and a pair of nieces and nephews; One of her girls will marry out sooner or later. When Meng'er is older, Yingchun's family affairs should also be decided, and Rongguofu is still her Wang Xifeng's. Therefore, the last person in front of Jia Mu who flattered her was happy was gone, and it was extremely rare for more than a year. I hadn't heard this for a long time, and suddenly it sounded so good. Jia Mudeng smiled and opened his eyebrows: "What you said is that Baoyu is a creative person, and your brothers can only hope for our family when they work together, but don't learn from your old man." ”

Jia Cong's little face twisted: "What's wrong with my son?" I had the heart to say a few more words, but it hindered Lin Hai's face, so I had to swallow it.

Lin Hai saw that his grandfather and grandson were a little unhappy, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye. Mother Jia knew that she couldn't stop it, so she had to sigh, and repeatedly told Daiyu to come back to Rongguo Mansion to live for a few days, but Lin Hai only responded in vain. When they got out, the master and apprentice both breathed a sigh of air, looked at each other and smiled.

Lin Haidao: "I don't feel impatient when you are wronged, and you have the style of a gentleman', I listen to the sentence awkwardly, is it really Xu Renfang who said it?" ”

Jia Cong grimaced: "It's me who is unscrupulous." I haven't been to their academy again......"

Lin Hai glared at him: "What do I say, with Xu Renfang's talent, why is it like this." ”

Jia Cong stretched, turned his head to look at Lin Hai and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, have you been home?" Do you think your house looks good? ”

Lin Hai laughed so much that his beard pouted: "At first glance, I thought that you Lao Tzu helped invite some kind of generous old gentleman." ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Talent is the most important thing in art. Seeing that Lin Hai didn't understand or explain, he said, "Sir, have you seen the guest house in the west?" Don't you feel comfortable? ”

Lin Hai thought for a while: "But the one who planted the three friends of Suihan in the courtyard?" It's a good cleanup. ”

Jia Cong nodded: "That's it!" Brother Huan and I have already picked a house, and there is a big one left for Brother Yu'er, who asked him to be so polite and not pick first. ”

Lin Hai laughed and laughed: "Do you three want to stay in my house?" ”

Jia Cong hugged his arm and didn't let go, and said cutely: "Three years, sir!" Three years! Don't you want us, sir? We all miss you tightly. ”

Lin Hai smiled from ear to ear, and said, "I want Weisi and Huan'er; You're so naughty and panicked. ”

Jia Cong relied on him and did not give up, and the master and apprentice tossed all the way to pick up Lin Daiyu.

Daiyu had already packed up, and many items were sent by Jia Yu yesterday, and the two Zijuan Snow Goose settled in the Lin family before coming back. In the morning, I got a letter from Jia Cong, and when she knew that her father was coming, she hurriedly went everywhere to leave. Yingchun and Tanchun are all reluctant, Daiyu smiled: "It's not that I can't see it, my home is not far away, and I invite my sisters to come and play when I settle it in the future." ”

At this time, Yang Song was also in Lixiang Courtyard, and he wanted to take Yang Heng and his son back to Lin Mansion together. The atmosphere of Lixiangyuan is free and broad, ancient and modern China and foreign heaven and earth say everything, the idea of humility and humility is weak, and the young people are all brothers, which is completely different from ordinary high-ranking families. In just a few months, Yang Heng and his wife have fallen in love and refuse to leave; Yang An even held on to his son and didn't let go. Yang Song had no choice but to let them. Jia Cong turned to a reliable master again.

The three brothers of Jia Cong and the father and son of the Yang family sent Lin Hai's father and daughter back to the Lin Mansion together, and had a cheeky dinner at someone's house by the way. A few days ago, I didn't know where to invite an excellent Yangzhou cabinet for them, and I cooked authentic Huaiyang dishes. Lin Haile praised him for a long time, and pointed at him and said to Jia Cong: "See, Mr. filial piety is not on his lips!" ”

Jia Cong frowned: "It's clearly on the lips!" ”

The crowd laughed. Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
