Jia Lian and Lai Da were led to Lin Ruhai by Lin Zhong all the way.

"Meet my uncle!"

"Meet Aunt Lin!"

As soon as Jia Lian and Lai Da saw Lin Ruhai, they hurriedly bowed.

"Get up!" Lin Ruhai replied lightly.

Jia Lian hurriedly stood up, looked at Lin Ruhai cautiously, and saw that Lin Ruhai looked good, not at all like half a month ago, his body was useless.

Jia Lian muttered in his heart, is Uncle Lin returning to the light, or is his body already well?

Lai Da also had the same doubts in his heart, but he was more knowledgeable than Jia Lian, and he instantly figured out that Lin Ruhai had probably been pretending to be sick.

He was suddenly shocked in his heart, Lin Ruhai was probably calculating the Jia family, in this way, the Jia family's plan would not only fail, but also offend Lin Ruhai.

Seeing that the second master Lian was stunned and didn't speak, Lai Da hurriedly gathered his mind and pulled Jia Lian's back placket.

Jia Lian looked back at Lai Da and signaled to him, hurriedly put down the doubts in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Nephew, congratulations to my uncle for his promotion!" ”

Lai Da was a little afraid of Lin Ruhai at this time, and hurriedly echoed: "Little congratulations to Aunt Lin, hanging high on the green clouds, ascending to the Nine Heavens with auspiciousness!" ”

The two waited for a long time, but they didn't see Lin Ruhai speak, so they could only stiffly maintain a congratulatory posture, and the atmosphere was so depressed that they broke out in a cold sweat.

After a long time, Lin Ruhai sighed and said, "I thought that my body was useless, but I never thought that I would survive in the end." ”

"Now that the emperor has come to the Holy Decree again, allowing me to enter Beijing, I don't know how long my old bones can last?"

Jia Lian couldn't hear whether Lin Ruhai was happy or sad for a while, so he had to say some auspicious words to liven up the atmosphere: "Uncle is in good health, naturally it is a good thing, according to my nephew, when my uncle enters Beijing again, he will definitely be able to achieve his ambition again, and the flowers will continue to rise!" ”

"Huh!" Lin Ruhai laughed and said, he didn't answer Jia Lian's words, he originally wanted to scold the two of them angrily and turn his face with the Jia family, but when he thought of Daiyu, he still held back the anger in his heart.

Later, Lin Ruhai asked Lai Da about some things in Beijing, and sent Lai Da out, leaving Jia Lian alone.

Jia Lian secretly complained in his heart, now that Uncle Lin is in good health, all the plans of the Jia family will fail, at this moment he is extremely nervous, worried that his investigation of the Lin family's property will be exposed, and Uncle Lin will reprimand him in person.

Lin Ruhai glanced at Jia Lian lightly and motioned for him to open the box on the table.

"There are a total of 10,000 taels of silver tickets here, of which 8,000 taels are for my filial piety to the old lady in the house, to thank my mother-in-law for her kindness to Yu'er in the past few years, and the other 2,000 taels are yours, thank you for your hard work all the way, send Yu'er back!"

"Thank you uncle, this is what a nephew should do, I don't dare to say anything hard!" Jia Lian instantly turned his worries into joy, he thought he would be scolded, but he didn't expect to reward him with silver.

"Yu'er won't go back to Beijing with you this time, and stay by my side!" Lin Ruhai continued.

"This, but the ancestor personally explained, wait for my uncle's business, uh, when my uncle is well, I must take my sister back!" Jia Lian said with some apprehension.

The joy of just getting two thousand taels of silver turned into depression in an instant, now that Lin Ruhai is in good health and has been promoted, the Lin family's money will not be obtained, if Lin Daiyu can't bring it back, won't the Jia family lose both people and money.

"I will explain this matter to the old lady, it will only be a few months, and when the time comes, I will take Yu'er into Beijing and visit my mother-in-law in person!" Lin Ruhai directly refused, before he solved the Jia Wang family, he was not worried that Daiyu would return to the Jia family.

A few days ago, he received a letter from his second brother-in-law, Jia Zheng, which mentioned the marriage of Daiyu and Baoyu, and he thought about it and felt that it would be more appropriate to marry Daiyu to Baoyu.

It's just that if you want to marry the two, they can't meet again before marriage, and in order to avoid suspicion, Daiyu can't stay in Jia's house anymore during this time, so he doesn't want Daiyu to follow Jia Lian back.

Lin Ruhai sighed in his heart, he knew that his body could not last for a few years, this Jiangnan turmoil, he had offended too many forces, once he died, only the Jia family could protect Daiyu.

He considered recruiting Lu Jing as his son-in-law, but his daughter had a close relationship with Baoyu, which caused her reputation to be damaged, and he was worried that Lu Jing would not be able to accept it. Especially Lu Jing knew that he had always wanted to marry Daiyu to the Jia family, and he was embarrassed to open his mouth to Lu Jing and marry Daiyu to Lu Jing again.

The most important thing is that Lu Jing and Daiyu have a big age difference, Lu Jing, as the only heir of the Lu family's house and the patriarch of the Lu clan, will inevitably get married as soon as possible, and Lu Jing will not be able to wait for Daiyu to become an adult.

"Yes!" Lin Ruhai put too much pressure on him, and Jia Lian didn't dare to refute it, so he had to bow his head and agree, thinking in his heart how to explain to the old lady after he went back, he came to Yangzhou this time, and he didn't accomplish anything.

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Lian's resignation, and was quite unhappy in his heart, the only one in the younger generation of the Jia family who could hold up the façade turned out to be like this, and he was a little angry with the Jia family in his heart.

Thinking that after he entered Beijing, if the marriage between Daiyu and Baoyu was decided, he must teach Jia Baoyu well, not to mention that he was as outstanding as his disciple Lu Jing, but also needed to be shrewd and capable, study and start a career, and be able to support the Jia family's family business, so that Daiyu could rely on it.

Lin Ruhai immediately took out a letter and handed it to Jia Lian and said, "Open it and take a look!" ”

Jia Lian didn't dare to delay, hurriedly opened the letter, and was shocked when he saw it, "This, this ......"

"This is a letter sent by my colleagues in Beijing, Lian'er, in recent years, your mansion has actually taken over the complaint and put the money outside, do you know that if this matter is known by the saint, the matter of seizing the post and relegating the lord is small, and there is also the disaster of exile!" Lin Ruhai scolded.

These things were all heard when he sent someone to Beijing to inquire about the news, and he didn't expect the Jia family to do such a thing.

He proposed it at this time because he wanted to use Jia Lian's mouth to remind the Jia family, and now he will solve the big things, and he must not let the Jia family be planted in these small things.

In particular, although many people in the court are doing it, the laws of the imperial court clearly prohibit private individuals from putting printing money, especially those with official status, if they are found out, they will be severely punished.

When Jia Lian heard the words of Ge Jue's house, it was like five thunderbolts, and he lost three souls and seven spirits, and hurriedly bowed: "This, this, the little nephew is not clear, please uncle save me!" ”

He knew about the complaints, many of them were taken by his daughter-in-law, and he went to do it, and most of the powerful people in Beijing were doing such things, he thought that everyone was doing it, and Jiafu would also do it, and there would be no major incident, but he didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.

As for the money, he was completely unaware of it, thinking that it must have been done by his money-hungry daughter-in-law, and he was now eager to kill his money-hungry daughter-in-law.

Lin Ruhai snorted coldly and said: "Fortunately, this colleague of mine found out about this matter and revealed this news to me, if it is reported directly......"

Jia Lian was even more panicked, and hurriedly kowtowed and pleaded: "Please also ask my uncle to look at my aunt's face and suppress this matter......"

When Lin Ruhai heard Jia Lian mention Jia Min, he was slightly angry in his heart, and directly interrupted him: "For the sake of your mansion in the past few years, I will naturally not stand idly by." ”

"But you also have to take this as a warning, these two things must not be done again in the future, after you go back, make up for this matter, how many silver taels should accompany you, if it is a house slave, you will directly take someone and hand it over to Shuntian Mansion!"

"Yes, yes, my nephew will definitely investigate this matter when he goes back!" Jia Lian replied hurriedly.

Lin Ruhai saw that Jia Lian knew that this was powerful, thinking that Jia Lian was his nephew after all, although he was a little nonsense, but he was okay, so he said: "I heard that you are now a housekeeper in the house, why don't you get a serious errand in the court?" ”

"The little nephew doesn't like to study, and he doesn't have any skills, so he only donated a fictitious position and went to the yamen every day to deal with things!" Jia Lian said with a little weakness, after this incident, he thoroughly understood the methods of his uncle, and felt that facing Lin Ruhai was even more terrifying than facing his old son.

"Ridiculous, you are now young and strong, you should take this opportunity to manage your career well, so do nothing, how can you support the family business of Rongfu in the future?" Lin Ruhai said with some hatred that iron is not made of steel.

"Don't think I'm speaking harshly, it's really that you are too uncompetitive, as the concubine of the Rong Mansion Changfang, after all, you are going to attack the lord in the future, if this matter is found out, your title inheritance will also be deprived, and the title will also be inherited by the second room at that time."

When Lin Ruhai said this, he suddenly felt that if this was the case, Jia Baoyu would also have the opportunity to attack the knighthood, but after thinking about it, it was better for Baoyu to take the imperial examination, and it would be easier for him to gain a foothold in the officialdom with the help of his disciple Lu Jing.

When Jia Lian heard this, he only felt that the cold wind filled his body, and his body trembled, and he immediately thought of the current situation in the mansion, and the degree of favor of Baoyu, I am afraid that the title of Rongguo Mansion in the future will really be Baoyu's.

Jia Lian suddenly bowed and said: "My nephew is confused, please teach my uncle!" ”

Lin Ruhai shook his head and sighed: "As long as you can use your heart and the right way to deal with these things, it will be fine, but you must not do such illegal things in the future." ”

Jia Lian repeatedly reassured: "My nephew thanks my uncle for his teachings, my nephew will definitely correct it." ”

Immediately, Jia Lian asked with some hesitation: "Uncle, what about the nephew's title?" ”

In the past, he didn't pay attention to this matter, but when he heard Lin Ruhai mention it, he realized that with the power of the second room now, Yuanchun was a concubine again, Baoyu is still Yuanchun's younger brother, and he has always been loved by Yuanchun.

"As long as you do it right, you won't be able to run away from the knighthood."

Lin Ruhai didn't want to get involved in the internal affairs of the Jia family, his move was just to slightly provoke the dispute between the two houses of the Rong Mansion, so that the Jia family had no time to take care of him, and he could fight at ease, of course, he also had the meaning of venting his anger for himself and Daiyu.

When it comes to the title, Jia Lian was in a state of confusion for a while, seeing that Lin Ruhai didn't want to say much, he only thought that Lin Ruhai was close to the second room, so he didn't want to help him find a way, and he was a little disappointed in his heart, it seems that this matter still needs to go back to Beijing to discuss with his father.

Jia Lian immediately thanked him: "Nephew, thank you uncle for your teachings!" ”

Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "Even so, I won't keep you any more, I will deal with my Lin family's property, so I won't bother you!" ”

"If you have anything else to do, when he arrives in the capital one day, he will come to me again!"

"Yes!" Jia Lian was not stupid, hearing Lin Ruhai's words, knowing that Jiafu's previous calculation of the Lin family's property had been revealed, he was ashamed in his heart, and he only felt shameless to face Lin Ruhai, and he didn't want to stay in Yangzhou anymore.

At the same time, Jia Lian also wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible to deal with matters such as titles, petitions, and money, so Jia Lian said goodbye to Lin Ruhai the next day, and took the servant to go all the way back to Beijing.
