Although Lu Jing felt that Lin Ruhai's original intention of sending Lin Daiyu into Jiafu was to let Lin Daiyu receive a better education, his arrangement was indeed to harm his own daughter.

But nothing happened at this time, and Lu Jing couldn't blame Lin Ruhai's current arrangement with what would happen in the future, so he could only talk about the matter with emotion: "The teacher's move is also well-intentioned!" ”

Lin Ruhai shook his head and sighed: "I sent Yu'er to Beijing, firstly, for Yu'er's marriage, and secondly, for Yu'er's safety. ”

"At that time, the emperor abdicated, and I wanted to resign from the position of patrolling the salt imperial history, but the emperor appointed me to serve as the inspector of the salt imperial history, at that time, the emperor had just succeeded to the throne for less than a year, and the situation in the court and China was unstable."

"You also know that the Lianghuai salt tax is the top priority in the national tax, the emperor has no other thoughts in his heart, I will foster Yu'er in Jiafu, one is to send Yu'er to Jing'an Emperor's heart, and the other is that the situation in the DPRK and China was unstable at that time, in case something happens to me, I also hope to use the power of Jiafu to protect Yu'er!"

Lu Jing didn't expect that Lin Ruhai would have so much inside information in the middle of the trivial matter of sending Lin Daiyu to Beijing, and Lin Ruhai sent Lin Daiyu to Beijing, and he even had the intention of taking his daughter as a hostage, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

In this way, the scene suddenly fell silent, and Lu Jing slowed down for a while before breaking the silent atmosphere: "Now that the situation between the DPRK and China is stable, the teacher should also plan more for himself." ”

"I understand what you mean, and I have plans to get out now." Lin Ruhai experienced this incident and was completely disheartened by the officialdom.

Lu Jing immediately asked: "Since the teacher planned to marry Sister Lin to the Jia family back then, why didn't he directly make a marriage contract for the two?" ”

This is also a point that Lu Jing is puzzled about, if it is forgivable that Lin Ruhai did not set a marriage contract for Lin Daiyu at the beginning, but when Lin Ruhai knew that he was dying, why did he not set a marriage contract for his daughter, is it just because he has great trust in Shi Taijun, so he entrusted his daughter's lifelong affairs to the Jia family.

If this is the case, he feels that the source of Lin Daiyu's life is Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai, as Lin Daiyu's father, is not interested in his daughter, so how can he ask outsiders to care about his daughter.

Lin Ruhai explained: "The old lady did have this meaning back then, but I thought Yu'er was still young, so I let Yu'er live in Jiafu first, and cultivate feelings first." ”

Lu Jing saw that Lin Ruhai's expression was so peaceful, and he guessed in his heart that Lin Ruhai was afraid that he didn't know Lin Daiyu's current situation in Jiafu, so he immediately deliberately reminded: "Does the teacher know where Sister Lin lives in Jia's house?" ”

"Naturally, it is raised in the old lady's place!" Lin Ruhai said as a matter of course, and at the same time looked at Lu Jing in surprise, not understanding why he would ask such a question.

"Does the teacher know that Jia Baoyu also lives in Shi Taijun's place now?" Lu Jing continued to ask, since Lin Ruhai knew that Lin Daiyu lived in Shi Taijun's place, didn't he know that Bao Dai and the others now lived in Shi Taijun's courtyard.

Lin Ruhai became more and more puzzled, not knowing what Lu Jing wanted to say, and then asked, "Is there something wrong with this?" ”

Then he noticed that there was something wrong with his tone, and continued to say gently: "The old lady loves his grandson, and it is normal for him to keep him by his side, Yu'er and Baoyu live together, and the two can also cultivate some feelings." ”

Lin Ruhai has great respect for Shi Taijun, and in his heart, since Lao Taijun can raise such an outstanding daughter as Jia Min, he will definitely teach Daiyu well.

Although he did not make a marriage between the two families with Lao Taijun, he also acquiesced in Lao Taijun's matchmaking of Baoyu and Daiyu, Daiyu and Baoyu have lived together since childhood, and the relationship will naturally be more intimate, and the relationship between the two is also beneficial.

Lu Jing didn't care about Lin Ruhai's attitude, after all, his current behavior was a bit out of line, this was originally a matter for the Lin family and the Jia family, and it was not something he should be involved in.

It's just that Lu Jing doesn't understand what Lin Ruhai thinks, as far as he knows, when Lin Daiyu arrived in Jiafu, he lived with Jia Baoyu in Shi Taijun's blue yarn cupboard, and the two of them were six years old and one was seven years old, so naturally there was no problem.

Now that the two of them have divided the room, they are still in Shi Taijun's courtyard, and they are very close, there is still no taboo between the two, if it is spread out, it will not only damage Lin Daiyu's reputation, but also make those who value etiquette more, such as Jia Baoyu's mother, Mrs. Wang, have a great opinion of Lin Daiyu.

There is a cloud of etiquette: "Six years, the number of teachings and the name of the party." For seven years, men and women did not sit at the same table and did not eat together. Eight years, in and out of the door, and impromptu eating, must be followed by the elderly, the beginning of the teaching. Nine years, a few days of teaching. Ten years, out of the master, living outside, learning books, remembering. ”

Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu are so intimate, they are naturally fine in modern times, but in ancient times when etiquette was strict, the problem was serious.

And in this era when marriage pays attention to the words of the parents' orders and the words of the matchmaker, if the two directly make a private decision for life, it will also be a scandal for the two families, even if Lin Daiyu marries Jia Baoyu, she will be criticized and blamed.

Lu Jing had a feeling at the moment, he felt that Lin Ruhai had an unshirkable responsibility for Lin Daiyu's tragic experience.

Since Lin Ruhai has tacitly agreed on this matter with Shi Taijun, and has also matched the two, why not directly decide the marriage of the two.

On the contrary, it has been dragging on, once he is gone, who can still make the decision for Lin Daiyu's marriage, they personally pushed Lin Daiyu into the emotional predicament, but did not open a way out for him.

Lu Jing thought about it again and again and planned to remind Lin Ruhai: "But as far as the disciple knows, Sister Lin has lived with Baoyu, the son of the Jia family, since she entered the Jia Mansion, a blue yarn cabinet divides two rooms, and there is only one hall in the middle. ”

"Although the room has been divided now, Jia Baoyu is thirteen years old, and Sister Lin is also twelve years old, and the two still have no scruples between their actions, and the disciple feels that the teacher still needs to pay attention to this matter."

Lin Ruhai's face changed instantly, and he asked in surprise: "If there is such a thing, where did you hear about it?" ”

He naturally knows the seriousness of this matter, if what Lu Jing said is true, I am afraid that Daiyu's reputation will be completely ruined, and it will be difficult to marry in the future.

Lu Jing looked shocked when he saw Lin Ruhai, and secretly sighed in his heart that Lin Daiyu had been in the Jia family for five or six years, and Lin Ruhai really didn't know his daughter's situation in the Jia family.

He didn't know whether to say that Lin Ruhai, his father, was too careless, or whether to say that Lin Ruhai was generous and trusted the Jia family too much, and he didn't care about entrusting Lin Daiyu to the Jia family.

Lu Jing originally wanted to tell Lin Ruhai directly but there was such a thing, but seeing that Lin Ruhai's face became more and more ugly, he changed his statement: "The disciple is also hearsay, I'm afraid it can't be true, the teacher might as well send someone to Beijing to inquire in a few days, and you can know the truth or falsehood." ”

Lin Ruhai's expression was extremely ugly: "Huai Jin must remember to be cautious, the Jia family is a member of the country, and the etiquette has always been strict, and the old lady is also a person who knows etiquette, so it is absolutely impossible to make such an arrangement." ”

Although Lin Ruhai said this, he was extremely angry in his heart, whether this matter was true or not, it would seriously affect Daiyu's reputation.

If it is true, then his daughter's reputation will be ruined, if it is fake, it will be even more serious, even he, a disciple who is far away in Jiangnan, can inquire about this kind of thing, then this kind of rumor is not more widely spread, what is this kind of rumor in Jiafu trying to do, it must be who wants to be unfavorable to Daiyu.

And he already believed Lu Jing's words in his heart, although he didn't get along with this disciple for a long time, he had always understood Lu Jing's character, if there was no exact basis, his disciple would definitely not talk nonsense.

And this matter is very easy to investigate, and there is no need for Lu Jing to deceive him with a fake news that is easy to be exposed, and now Lu Jing has so solemnly reminded him to pay attention to this matter, which shows that this matter is not false.

"What the teacher said is that the disciple remembers." Lu Jing said solemnly, judging from Lin Ruhai's expression, Lin Ruhai had already believed his words, so he didn't say anything about it anymore.

However, Lu Jing felt in her heart that Shi Taijun had a big problem with Jia Baoyu's education, she only blindly indulged and doted on Jia Baoyu, and never restrained and disciplined, which caused Jia Baoyu to be so old and still mess around.

Especially for Jia Baoyu's problem that he likes to eat the rouge on the girl's mouth, he doesn't care about teaching, he can't make light moves on the girl because he is simple-minded and has no lustful thoughts, not to mention that Jia Baoyu has long had the joy of cloud and rain with the attacker and understands personnel.

Moreover, Shi Taijun's doting also made Jia Baoyu rich and noble, poor and unbearable and desolate, without the slightest sense of responsibility and responsibility for the family.

But if Jia Baoyu can be self-reliant and self-reliant, he will not have a little say in his marriage, resulting in the relationship between him and Lin Daiyu has always been like a floating root, without the slightest foundation, and can only hope that Shi Taijun will be the master.

Although Lin Ruhai got Lu Jing's assurance, he was still not at ease, and he didn't believe that Shi Taijun would make such an arrangement, since ancient times, a woman's reputation is more important than a mountain, and he categorically didn't believe that the respected old lady would do something to destroy his daughter's reputation.

Even if he has acquiesced to the marriage of the two, the two should be courteous, and what makes him even more angry is that Shi Taijun did not stop the rumors spread by the Jia family, once the reputation of the daughter's family is damaged, the marriage will naturally be criticized in every way.

Lin Ruhai made up his mind that he must thoroughly investigate this matter, otherwise he would have no shame to face his daughter again.

So Lin Ruhai explained to Lu Jing again: "I will definitely find out about this matter, Huai Jin will still be cautious in the future, you must know that the name of her daughter's family is more important than everything." ”

Lu Jing solemnly assured again: "Teacher, don't worry, the disciple is just reminding the teacher to pay attention to this matter, and will not talk nonsense everywhere." ”

Although Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu's behavior was unruly in the eyes of others, he didn't care much about it, he just wanted to remind Lin Ruhai to solve the matter as soon as possible.

If you really want to promote this, solve the obstacles for the two of them, make a marriage contract, and if not, don't let the two of them fall too deep, or break it off as soon as possible.

Lu Jing thought about it, since Lin Ruhai didn't even know about this matter, I was afraid that he didn't know about Jia Baoyu's words for Lin Daiyu, so he asked, "Does the teacher know Sister Lin's words?" ”

Lin Ruhai was surprised when he heard this: "Yu'er hasn't decided to marry yet, how can she have words?" ”

With the experience of the past, Lu Jing just reminded: "The disciple also heard that it seems that Sister Lin's word is called '颦颦', which may be just a joke of everyone in the Jia family!" ”
