After the New Year, just as he was about to take off his winter clothes, Jia Min fell ill. She is really sick like a mountain.

Earlier, Dr. Xu, who came to the house every day to diagnose the pulse, said that Jia Min's body was already dilapidated, so if he didn't get sick, once he got sick, even if the Da Luo Immortal came to the world, it would be difficult to save him.

Jia Min fell ill, and both Daiyu and Lin Jin had to serve her in front of her bed, so she had no time to study. After she died of illness, Jia Yucun originally wanted to quit the museum, but because Lin Ruhai wanted to let his children study in a controlled manner, he left him behind.

Lin Jin has always been suspicious of Daiyu's age when she entered Jiafu, because later generations said that when she entered Jiafu, she was six years old. But to be honest, no matter how fairy and beautiful Daiyu is, she doesn't think that when she was six years old, she could see that Cao Gong's description of her appearance was just a shadow at most.

Moreover, when Leng Zixing gave a speech to Jia Yucun about Rongning and Ningfu, when he talked about Baoyu, one of the sentences "Now he is more than ten years old, although he is naughty, he is smart and obedient, and he is not as good as one of him." "Mention his age.

Teens generally refer to people between the ages of nine and eleven. According to the book, Baoyu is one year older than Daiyu, so Daiyu is also in her teens when she enters Jiafu. This is reasonable, the ancients were precocious, and the demeanor of a teenage girl is already worthy of Cao Gong's description of her appearance.

Of course, the reason why Lin Jin knew that Daiyu did not enter Beijing at the age of six was not only because she was in this world, but also because of the sentence "Conservative reading" that Lin Ruhai said when he retained Jia Yucun to continue teaching.

The so-called "observance" is filial piety. Generally speaking, it refers to three years, but it is actually twenty-seven months. In other words, Daiyu is the capital of her mother's filial piety. In this way, it is understandable why when she arrived at Jia's house, the Jia family was all red and green, and there was no appearance of filial piety to Jia Min. Because according to the etiquette, they have already shown filial piety.

……

Although he still had to study with Jia Yucun during the period of filial piety, because there was no housewife in the house, and Lin Ruhai had no intention of straightening Yang Wan, although Yang Wan took over the housekeeping rights, she was very constrained in the face of Jia Min's henchmen, and she couldn't send people away, so there was no way to deal with many things, so Lin Jin could only come forward to deal with them.

……

After Jia Min's death, the Lin family did not break off their contact with the Jia family during the period of filial piety, and even the movement of the two families, including various gifts such as festival rites and New Year's gifts, came according to the old practice when Jia Min was there, but the Jia family just felt that the Lin family was estranged from their own family.

The Jia family's feeling was not wrong, because although Lin Ruhai did not straighten Yang Wan, all the affairs of the back house were handed over to her. Although all the things sent to the Jia family every time were according to the old routine, how could the things that were carefully selected and come according to the personal preferences of each room of the Jia family be the same as the things that were randomly selected in response to etiquette? What's more, Jia Min would take some things from his private room from time to time, but when he came to Yang Wan, he naturally didn't have this item.

Therefore, in order to bring the relationship between the two families closer, Jia's mother wrote a letter saying that she wanted to take Daiyu to her knees, but Lin Ruhai refused.

Because the two families are still in contact with each other, Lin Jin learned from the Jia family who gave the gift that Mrs. Wang didn't like Jia Zhu's wife Li Kun very much, and thought that her family background was low and her dowry was thin; After Jia Zhu passed away because of illness, Mrs. Wang, who was not very satisfied with Li Kun, thought that she had killed Jia Zhu, and if it weren't for Li Kun's exposure of pregnancy in the mourning hall, she would probably be sent back to her parents' house by Mrs. Wang.

Yuan Chun, who entered the palace through a small election, relied on the help of his family to work as an errand in the queen's palace and was promoted to female history. After she got a firm foothold, the family sent her big girl Baoqin to her.

……

Three years of filial piety have passed in a flash, in recent days, Daiyu has violated the old disease because of filial piety, Lin Jin is troubled by trivial matters, and has not gone to school for days, Jia Yucun is bored, whenever the wind is fine, he takes a small guy named Zhuyan to serve by his side, and comes out for a leisurely walk.

On this day, he took the inkstone to the suburbs to enjoy the scenery of the village.

Seeing the decaying "Zhitong Temple" in the midst of the beautiful mountains and rivers, there is a pair of "behind me forgot to withdraw his hand, and there is no way to turn back." He felt that there was quite a Zen opportunity, but it was a pity that there was only one dim-witted old monk cooking porridge in the temple, and the answer was not what he asked.

Jia Yucun was impatient and wanted to go to the village to drink three cups to help the wild fun. When he was close to the door, he met a drinker, who was Leng Zixing, an old acquaintance in the capital, so he greeted him with a smile, chatted and drank slowly, and talked about some things after saying goodbye.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Jin came out of the small flower hall next door to the outer study with a copy of "Spring and Autumn", and met Jia Yucun, who was rushing to the outer study to see Lin Ruhai.

After respectfully greeting Jia Yucun, Lin Jin asked, "Mr. came over in such a hurry, but is there something?" ”

Last night, I learned from my colleagues that Du Zhong had a letter from the old staff of the reinstatement, and when he returned to the mansion, he found the palace newspaper to see that it was true, and confirmed that the news was correct, and Jia Yucun, who was anxious to recover, smiled: "I have something to see Dong Weng, I don't know if Dong Weng is here?" ”

Lin Jin said with a smile: "Father is in the study room at this time, Mr. has something to do, go quickly, the students don't bother." ”

Seeing Jia Yucun's anxious figure, she said to the little guy beside her: "Go and call the Yan who followed Mr. out of the city yesterday." ”

After a while, he came to Lin Jin's study.

Lin Jin took her eyes off the book, looked at the inkstone standing in front of her, and asked, "Where did you go with Mr. yesterday, who did you meet, and what did Mr. say to them, do you remember?" ”

Holding Yan hurriedly said: "Although I don't remember it in detail, I can give a rough idea." ”

"Then you can tell them one by one."

Listening to Zhu Yan, Jia Yucun went to the suburbs and met an old friend of Leng Zixing in a wine shop, and the two chatted for a long time.

Lin Jin raised her eyebrows, and said secretly in her heart: Which old friend of Leng Zixing is Jia Yu Village? Shinong Industry and Commerce, although Jia Yucun was dismissed, but his fame is still there, so he is still in the "Shi" class, while Leng Zixing is just an antique dealer, and the scale of the business is not large, and the wife he married is the daughter of a slave......

She suddenly understood the purpose of Jia Yucun and Leng Zixing's friendship. Jia Yucun is willing to hand over Leng Zixing, probably because of the word "Jia" behind Leng Zixing.

Don't look at Leng Zixing's wife is just the daughter of a slave, but what kind of slave is also divided, as the saying goes, "seven officials in front of the prime minister", Leng Zixing's wife is the daughter of Mrs. Wang, the wife of Rongguo Mansion, who accompanies Zhou Rui.

When I heard Leng Zixing talk about the Jia family in the capital and Rongning Mansion with the same surname as him from the surname of Jia Yucun. As a flattery, Leng Zixing called him and Rongning a family. As a result, Jia Yucun's big face was unashamedly admitted, and the relationship was pulled to the Eastern Han Dynasty, saying that it was a family five hundred years ago, and he was afraid that it would not be safe for five hundred years, so he went back to a thousand years ago.

Lin Jin secretly despised in her heart, according to Jia Yucun's calculations, almost all of the people with the same surname in the world are of the same clan. Fortunately, the emperor sitting on the dragon chair is not surnamed Jia, otherwise, it is estimated that Jia Yucun can have a relationship with the royal family.

Hearing Leng Zixing's half-cherished family treasures, he gave a thorough speech on the inheritance of the two mansions of Ning Rong.

Lin Jin didn't know what to say, Leng Zixing was only married to Zhou Rui's daughter, he was such an outsider, and he knew even more about the affairs of the Rongning Mansion than some people in the Rongning Mansion. No wonder it is said that Rongning and Ningfu are just a sieve, and things as big as sesame chestnut beans can't be hidden. Look, the affairs of this family have become a topic of conversation for outsiders, fortunately, Leng Zixing is still a little measured, he knows what to say and what not to say, and nothing is all revealed.

It's just that Jia Yucun is quite interesting, Lin Jin showed a playful smile, mentioning the Jia family, even Leng Zixing, who has something to do with the Jia family, has derogatory words, such as the Jia family is now in decline, and the descendants are not ancestors.

But since talking about the Jia family, in the mouth of Jia Yucun, he didn't say that the Jia family was bad, and then when he talked about Baoyu who was born of jade, it was even more long, almost up to the three emperors and five emperors, down to the peddlers and pawns, Qiankun Yin and Yang said a thorough, and concluded that this Jia Baoyu must be extraordinary.

Although Zhu Yan failed to write down a large part of what Jia Yucun said in the mouth, Lin Jin remembered in a trance that he not only said a lot of words, but also compared many historical celebrities.

Lin Jin felt that he was not just showing off, but had the intention of selling well to the Jia family through Leng Zixing. It's just such a roundabout, can the Jia family receive his overtures? How could he be sure that what he said to Leng Zixing would reach the ears of the Jia family?

Later, because the grandmother of the Zhen family doted on his grandson, he resigned from the museum and went to the Lin family to do the museum.

Lin Jin was stunned for a moment, and interrupted the Yan: "Mr. has done a museum in the Zhen family, are you sure?" ”

Yan shook his head, "I don't know. However, Mr. Jia said this to that Leng Zixing, and the housekeeper who invited Mr. Jia to come to the house should also know. ”

"Yanmo, you go and inquire." Lin Jin motioned to hold the inkstone and continue to speak, and instructed Yan Mo, who was waiting on the side.

Although she hadn't inquired yet, she felt that the news couldn't be wrong.

Originally, Jia Yucun said that after he was dismissed, he explained his official affairs, sent the eunuchs and family members accumulated over the years to his hometown to settle down properly, and took the wind and sleeve moon by himself, and visited the world's scenic spots.

Now it seems that it is a lie. In fact, since his dismissal, he has been seeking revenge, otherwise he would not have picked the house of courtiers who was both an important minister in the court and a confidant of the emperor to make a museum. Because only such a person can help him recover and make him successful.

His route is so well hidden that if you don't pay attention to it, you won't notice it at all.

Lin Jin smiled secretly, it turned out that he had taken advantage of his own family, and he was able to invite a jinshi to enlighten the children in the family, but he didn't suffer a loss, and planned to use his own family as a "stepping stone" for his recovery, which shows that it is not easy to take advantage of the cheapness.
