Chapter 206: Sister Lin Returns Home
After a while, Jia Baoyu walked out of the room and said to Zijuan in a straight voice: "Sister Lin is looking for you."
Then, in the suspicious look of the purple cuckoo, he walked out of the cabin.
When he came to the side, he found that in a small room next to him, Li Ling was bending over to clean up the softness, so he stood and watched for a while, and when the other party turned around, he walked away quickly.
Going down the stairs to the first floor, Jia Lian was still busy, and Jia Baoyu was about to walk over to take a look.
Suddenly, a tall figure walked down from the boat next to him.
"Second Brother ......"
It is Jia Yu Village.
Seeing him in his official uniform, Jia Baoyu strode over to this side, and immediately put on a happy expression to greet him.
"Oh, I said that the first thing I did after arriving in the capital was to visit the second brother, and I didn't want to meet here. Oh yes, it's time to call the second brother General Jia, haha, the second brother has ascended to a high position, and the contemptible people were far away in the south before, and they haven't had time to congratulate him, which is really rude. ”
Jia Yucun greeted him very familiarly and smiled with Jia Baoyu.
Jia Baoyu also smiled: "Haha, happy and happy." Lord Jia entered Beijing this time, and he also made outstanding political achievements, but I am afraid that in this huge capital, the position of the official of his parents must be Lord Jia. ”
When Jia Yucun heard this, the joy in his eyes flashed, but he still immediately said modestly: "Where are there any political achievements, but they all rely on Your Majesty's heavenly grace and the recommendation of your mansion and the royal mansion, so that the contemptible people can have the opportunity to return to Beijing."
"Seeing the outside, seeing the outside, Lord Jia and my family are of the same ancestry, since we should be blessed and enjoy the same difficulties, in the future, you and I will need to support each other and take care of each other, and work together to be loyal to the court!"
"Hahaha, nature is natural. By the way, I haven't seen my second brother for two years, and it's rare to meet today, why don't you have a few drinks on the shore and chat freely? ”
Jia Baoyu immediately made a happy look, but hesitated again, and said: "I'm afraid it's inconvenient today, but today I'm on the order of my grandmother to pick up my cousin home, I'm afraid I don't dare to get drunk." Another day, I will definitely prepare a banquet another day, how about inviting Mr. Jia to drink again? ”
Jia Yucun was very regretful, but said very interestingly: "Since this is the case, the contemptible person will not bother much, and I will talk about it later."
"I'll talk about it later......"
Jia Yucun stepped forward to bid farewell to Jia Lian again, and then rushed to the capital in an official sedan chair.
Jia Lian walked over, looked Jia Baoyu up and down, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a year, and the second brother is now no longer what it used to be." The forbidden army is all marquis? It's really the envy of the foolish brother. ”
Jia Baoyu smiled and said, "Oh? Really, since that's the case, I'll tell the master later, and get you a real job in the imperial court......"
Jia Lian has an official body, but it is a five-grade false title.
Jia Lian's head suddenly shook like a rattle: "Don't, don't, I still know what level I have, a petty official of eight or nine grades, it sounds like it's buried!" is to go out of Beijing, at most it is just to release a magistrate and a general judgment, and I don't know how long it will take to return to Beijing, I can't bear that hardship! ”
Jia Lian has no fame and qualifications, and it is impossible for him to have a good position in the capital, and he himself is unwilling to be released from Beijing. Therefore, he is simply too lazy to be an official, to be a rich and noble son, to eat and drink flowers, to play with women or to be a good girl...... He felt that this life was very fulfilling.
Jia Baoyu smiled and walked to the boxes carried out by the little guys on the side.
Jia Lian suddenly said: "This is the wife's ...... called to buy it."
Jia Baoyu interrupted: "I know, this is the family property that Mrs. asked you to bring back to Sister Lin."
Jia Baoyu didn't seem to see Jia Lian's embarrassed face, and asked someone to open it and take a look.
Coincidentally, these boxes happened to be silver, silver tickets issued by the imperial court's household department, and the deed of many grange shops.
Jia Baoyu squatted and pulled it, only talking about silver and silver tickets, it was roughly estimated that these boxes were tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Jia Lian's face was tangled, and he didn't know what to say.
He knew that Jia Baoyu was smart, and he had found out before that among the people in their southern group, there were often people who corresponded with Jingzhong behind his back. At first, he didn't care, thinking that it was just a correspondence between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu.
It turned out later that it wasn't as simple as that. But he didn't care, anyway, he was just acting on orders, and he just made a little "small difference", and he had to hand over most of it.
Brother Bao is his wife's own son, and it is nothing to know this.
Jia Baoyu only glanced at it twice, then stood up, and said with a smile: "I remember that Steward Zhou didn't go down to Suzhou to pick you up, why didn't he come back with him?"
"That, there are still some things to deal with in Suzhou......
Jia Baoyu smiled. It is true that it has not been dealt with, the Lin family is several generations of princes, most of them are ancestral property and fixed assets.
Although some of them will be returned to the Lin clan, all of them belong to Lin Ruhai's personal property, but all of them must be left to Daiyu for "child support" and future dowry.
At this point, even if Jia Baoyu is not there, he knows that Lin Ruhai will definitely arrange it like this.
As soon as he left, the rest of the Lin family was all separated from each other, and it was impossible for him to foster Daiyu to others, so naturally he could only leave Daiyu to his mother-in-law to raise him, so that he could rest assured.
Therefore, Zhou Ruima must have been ordered to stay in Suzhou and arrange for people to take over those fixed assets, or even realize the assets
Jia Baoyu believes that Jia's mother must not have thought of encroaching on the Lin family's property at this time, at least not all of them, and she will not allow Mrs. Wang to come wantonly. She must have intentionally kept some of it as Daiyu's dowry in the future!
It's just that if the Jia family is stretched thin in the future, the part of the "dowry" reserved by Jia's mother for Daiyu will inevitably be advanced......
The reason is also very easy, it is enough to give Yu'er to Baoyu in the future.
After figuring out these things, Jia Baoyu smiled slightly, said hard work to Jia Lian, and when the carriages and horses outside were ready, and all the goods were loaded into the carriage, he went up and personally picked up Daiyu down.
......
In the Rongqing Hall of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu couldn't help but ask after a while: "Have you come back?"
Then Mrs. Wang, Li Kun and the others could naturally only send people out to take a look, bringing back a "soon" news.
I don't know how long it took, but under Jia's mother's longing waiting, there was finally a maid report: "It's coming, it's coming!"
Jia Mu was immediately overjoyed, and immediately asked the maids to go out and welcome them in.
Wang Xifeng took the lead and led Sanchun and the maids out to greet him.
After passing the corridor, I saw Jia Baoyu, who was the first to take a beauty, and took a look, who was it not Daiyu?
"Sister Lin~!"
Sanchun and a few big girls suddenly broke out of the encirclement and stepped forward to block the two.
Jia Baoyu, who was the most popular in the past, was ignored by them at this time, and only pulled Daiyu one by one, calling and greeting affectionately.
Jia Baoyu was squeezed away by them, and had to let go of Sister Lin's soft little hand, and was a little unhappy in her heart, so she said: "Okay, a group of crazy girls, Sister Lin is tired of traveling and driving, where can you be so crowded, don't let it go, the ancestor is still waiting."
Hearing that Jia Mu was waiting, everyone came back to their senses, and then spontaneously pulled Daiyu and walked along the hand-copying verandah to Rongqing Hall.
Wang Xifeng deliberately lagged half a step behind and said with a smile: "What's the matter, aren't you happy that they snatched your sister Lin away?"
Jia Baoyu glanced at her lightly: "Second Brother Lian saw that the master had gone, he must have to go home to change his clothes in a while, why don't you go back and serve soon?"
It was clear that Jia Baoyu's words were fine, but when Wang Xifeng heard it, it was like Jia Baoyu telling her to go back quickly and wait for Jia Lian to come to her luck.
Wang Xifeng was ashamed and indignant, raised his foot and kicked Jia Baoyu, but missed, and saw that there were many maids watching behind him, so it was not good to make another move, so he had to glare at Jia Baoyu, turn around and walk towards Rongqing Hall.
Even if she really wanted to go back and see it before, now she has to endure it!
