Chapter 41 Thinking about the Jia family's dilemma

When Lin Daiyu heard that the Lu family brothers and sisters' parents died early, she felt sad about the situation of the Lu Jing brothers and sisters, especially when she heard that her cousin, who was one year younger than her, suffered the pain of losing her mother and father one after another when she was a child, and she felt more and more sad in her heart.

She felt that her cousin's background was too pitiful, and if it weren't for her cousin and a brother to rely on, she might have to send someone to the fence and be lonely.

Lin Daiyu's eyes were red when she thought of this, and she had an indescribable feeling, which made her sad and crying.

Lin Ruhai comforted Daiyu and said, "Don't look at your cousin's young age, he is actually a powerful person!" ”

"When his father did not accept Huai Jin as a disciple, he had already been lifted, Huai Jin is not a nerd who does not know the world, he is shrewd, he has deep connections in Jiangnan, and he has a lot of means to do things, and his father can be safe and sound this time, and he has a lot of Huai Jin's help."

Lin Ruhai then picked out some things that had happened in Jiangnan in the past few months and said them to Daiyu briefly, focusing on Lu Jing's help and care for him during this time.

The reason why Lin Ruhai did this was mainly because he was worried that his daughter had never contacted the Lu family, especially his wife had a dislike with the Lu family, and her daughter would inevitably not feel close to the Lu family.

If there is no friendship between the two juniors, once he dies, the friendship between the two Lu Lin families will come to an abrupt end.

Even if Lu Jing looks at his teacher's face in the future and takes care of Daiyu, his help to Daiyu is limited.

This is inconsistent with his original intention of accepting Lu Jing as a disciple when he wanted to use Lu Jing as Daiyu's backer.

Lin Daiyu was very emotional after hearing this, and was especially grateful to Lu Jing, feeling that she, who was a daughter, could not do her filial piety for her father and share her father's worries, but outsiders did better than her, and felt extremely remorseful in her heart.

"Although Zhiyu is one year younger than you, she is smart and sensible, and in the days when her father was injured, Zhiyu often came to the house to take care of her father!"

Lin Ruhai continued to promote Lu Jing's brother and sister to Daiyu, wanting her daughter to recognize the two.

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she was more grateful to Lu Jing's brothers and sisters, and at the same time, she blamed herself even more, feeling that she was unfilial.

Lin Ruhai saw that her daughter looked bad, so she hurriedly stopped talking and chatted with Daiyu about other topics.

Then Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu, the father and daughter, each told about the trivialities of their lives in the past few years, as well as the feelings that the father and daughter missed each other.

After exchanging thoughts and thoughts, Lin Daiyu thought of Lu Jing's brother and sister helping and taking care of Lin Ruhai, and was grateful and wanted to thank her in person.

Lin Ruhai was quite happy when he heard this, and was quite satisfied with his daughter's attitude of accepting Lu Jing's brothers and sisters, and immediately ordered Lin Zhong to invite Lu Jing's brothers and sisters.

After Lu Jing and Lu Zhiyu saluted Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai introduced the three to each other.

"Daiyu has seen Cousin Huaijin and Cousin Zhiyu!" Lin Daiyu greeted Lu Jing and Lu Zhiyu gratefully.

"They are all relatives, Sister Lin doesn't have to be polite!" Lu Jing smiled after giving him a hand.

This was the first time he had looked at Lin Daiyu up close, and to be honest, he was quite curious about Daiyu.

It has the background bonus of the worldly immortals, the pre-reincarnation setting, the death of both parents, the talent of Yongxu, the appearance of Xizi, and the heroine template of the head of the twelve hairpins of Jinling, but unfortunately there is no golden finger.

He secretly wondered in his heart that if he became Lin Daiyu's golden finger, would the Illusory Immortal Gu attack him in the lower realm.

Lu Zhiyu also saluted Lin Daiyu and said, "Zhiyu has seen Sister Lin! ”

Lin Daiyu looked at her cousin, who was younger than her, who had experienced the death of her parents one after another since she was a child, felt pity in her heart, hurriedly helped Lu Zhiyu, and said pityingly: "Sister doesn't need to be polite!" ”

Then Lin Daiyu was grateful, and thanked Lu Jing and Lu Zhiyu with a solemn expression: "Daiyu thank my cousin and cousin for taking care of my father in the past few months!" ”

Lu Jing hurriedly gathered those messy thoughts, motioned to his sister to help Daiyu up, and then said: "Sister Lin doesn't have to see outside, taking care of the teacher is within my and Zhiyu's business!" ”

"Not to mention that I am a disciple of the teacher, that is, our two families are close relatives, these are what we should do!"

Then the three of them said a few more polite words, and Lin Ruhai asked the maid to take Daiyu back to the room to rest.

The room he arranged for Daiyu was still the room before Daiyu left, and he had been letting people clean it all the time over the years, just thinking that after his daughter came back, she could find a familiar feeling again.

Lu Zhiyu also followed Lin Daiyu to see Lin Daiyu's boudoir when she was a child, although she and Lin Daiyu didn't say a few words, but they hit it off at first sight, and they felt quite close to each other.

After only Lu Jing and Lin Ruhai were left in the study, Lu Jing asked, "Teacher, what are your plans next?" ”

Although Lin Ruhai looked extremely ill, Lu Jing knew that Lin Ruhai was a heart disease at all, and now that the heart medicine Daiyu has returned, presumably Lin Ruhai's body will recover soon.

The next thing is to plan the peace of the court, otherwise Lin Ruhai has no official position and no power in his hands, and he will inevitably be retaliated against by many people.

"A few days ago, news came from Beijing, and the momentum of impeachment as a teacher in the court is not as good as before!"

"As a friend of Shijing, he also wrote to reveal that the emperor has expressed his intention to protect his teacher." Lin Ruhai's pale face showed a slight smile of ease.

Now that the turmoil in Jiangnan has settled, the court is in full swing, and Daiyu has returned safely, this turmoil has entered the second half of the high-level game of imperial power, and this second half has nothing to do with him.

"Now the Emperor Taishang's party, the emperor's party, the Zhongshun King, the three princes and other forces are all vying for the seat vacated after the turmoil in Jiangnan, especially the position of the teacher, I'm afraid it won't be long before news comes!"

"Teacher, who do you think will be the winner?"

Lin Ruhai said without the slightest hesitation: "If there is no accident, the winner should be the emperor!" ”

"Most of the officials involved this time are from the emperor's party, and many people have a close relationship with the nobles in Beijing, presumably the emperor will take this matter and play with the emperor!"

Lu Jing nodded, and was deeply convinced of Lin Ruhai's judgment, some time ago, Emperor Yuan Yong allowed the incident to ferment, probably just to get more game chips.

Although he sabotaged Emperor Yuanyong's plan and let the matter end early, the chips in Emperor Yuanyong's hands were enough, and many forces in Beijing to impeach Lin Ruhai were looking for a way out.

Presumably, in order to protect his subordinates, Emperor Yan Kang would also compromise with Emperor Yuan Yong, and hand over the imperial history of the salt patrol and most of the official positions vacated in this turmoil to Emperor Yuan Yong.

With the means of Emperor Yuan Yong, he will presumably take advantage of the situation to enter Jiangnan, master the two Huai salt politics, and lay a lot of nails in Jiangnan officialdom.

As for Lin Ruhai's ending, it depends on the character of Emperor Yuan Yong, but if nothing else, he should be transferred back to the capital.

"What arrangements does the emperor have for the teacher?"

Lin Ruhai said with emotion: "The emperor should not take it as a teacher, and as a scapegoat for this incident, I am afraid that I will be allowed to recuperate in Yangzhou first." ”

"As for entering Beijing, the teacher is still planning, a few days ago I have ordered someone to go back to Gusu to clean the ancestral house of the Lin family, and as soon as the new salt patrol imperial history arrives, I will move out, and when everything is settled, I will return to Gusu to worship my ancestors as a teacher!"

Now that Emperor Yuanyong has sent Qin Cha to Jiangnan, the next thing will be all done by Qin Cha, except for an expected assassination, he can be regarded as retreating.

When Lu Jing heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, fortunately, Lin Ruhai was in danger this time and passed the test safely, otherwise he persuaded Lin Ruhai to fall to Emperor Yuanyong, but it hurt Lin Ruhai.

Now he can be regarded as having changed Lin Ruhai's fate, but he doesn't know how much life Lin Ruhai has, and what changes will occur in Bao Dai's affairs.

This turmoil also made him see Lin Ruhai's connections in Beijing, although there was the attitude of Emperor Yuan Yong, but there were still several high-ranking officials in Beijing who fought for Lin Ruhai.

At the beginning, he withstood the joint attack of the forces in Beijing and the forces in Jiangnan, and won Lin Ruhai precious respite.

Then Lu Jing chatted with Lin Ruhai about Jiangnan officialdom, and then got up to say goodbye.

As for the matter of the Jia family, he didn't say a word, firstly, because Lin Ruhai suspected him several times that he had ulterior motives, and he was no longer bored.

The second is that he feels that he has already said what he should say, and how to face the Jia family next is Lin Ruhai's own business. As an outsider, he can't get too involved in the affairs of the Lin family, otherwise he will be suspected of trespassing, which will inevitably arouse Lin Ruhai's suspicions.

Lin Ruhai didn't mention the matter of Jiafu to Lu Jing, first, he was ashamed, he was really embarrassed, and then he talked to Lu Jing about the Jia family, after all, the Jia family he was thinking about in his heart actually made a knife move.

The second is that it is difficult for him to decide how to treat the Jia family now, although what the Jia family did this time was extremely inappropriate, which made him extremely angry.

But after all, Lao Taijun is the mother of his beloved wife, and at the same time has raised Daiyu for many years, and the second brother-in-law has also written many times to help him.

Regarding the matter of sending Daiyu back, the second brother-in-law also wrote many times to explain, expressing his guilt and apology for failing to stop the family's decision.

Of course, the most difficult reason for him to choose is that he doesn't know the relationship between his daughter and Baoyu, and his worries about his daughter's marriage.

He is now extremely guilty about his daughter, and he doesn't want his daughter to suffer any more grievances, so he wants to find a satisfactory marriage for his daughter.

A few days ago, he sent someone to inquire about a lot of news from Jia's family, and knew that his daughter and Baoyu had grown up together since they were children and had a very close relationship.

Although he was very angry about the Jia family sending back his daughter, his daughter's reputation had been damaged, and if he didn't marry his daughter to the Jia family, Daiyu would not have a better home.

Daiyu's affairs in the Jia family in the past few years have somewhat damaged her daughter's reputation, especially when he discussed the marriage of the two with Lao Taijun and his second brother-in-law, and Lao Taijun has always matched the two.

The daughter and Baoyu behaved intimately and never avoided suspicion, and these things were spread by the Jia family, which had a great impact on the daughter's reputation.

And the rumors that her daughter is not in good health have also been spread by the Jia family, coupled with the loss of her mother at an early age, these factors add up, and it is difficult for Daiyu to find a good family.

He is not in good health now, I don't know how long he can support it, if he dies and his daughter has no support, he will also be embarrassed by her husband's family, it is better for the Jia family to know the roots, with a layer of kinship, and her daughter's situation will be better.

And over the years, he has transferred a lot of property to the Jia family, except for a small part of the filial piety to the Yue family, most of which are Daiyu's dowry.

However, Jia Wang's attitude towards his daughter made him hesitate, and Lin Ruhai fell into a dilemma for a while.
