Chapter 114: Arrival in Beijing
When Lin Jin and his entourage arrived in the capital and were about to abandon the boat and wait for the shore, it was not strange to see Li He, the housekeeper waiting on the shore early, but they were a little surprised to see Jia Lian. To tell the truth, although when Jia Lian sent Daiyu back to the Lin family, Lin Jin and him got along well, but she didn't think that their friendship was so deep that Jia Lian, the son of Houmen, came to pick her up after knowing that she came to the capital. Turning his head and glancing at Daiyu behind him, Lin Jin secretly thought in her heart, Jia Lian should have come to pick up Daiyu, but I don't know if it was Jia's mother who meant, or Baoyu made Jia's mother send Jia Lian.
As soon as the boat docked, the sampan was set up, and without waiting for the Lin family to get off the boat, Jia Lian and Li He hurriedly ran to the boat first. Seeing the two of them like this, Lin Jin thought about it and asked the people to get off the boat first and move the luggage or something, as for Aunt Lin, Yang Wan, Daiyu and Brother Lin, as well as the people who were waiting for them around them, they all stayed on the boat for the time being.
After connecting with the Fan family who came to pick up Fan Pu and the two He sisters from the shore, and seeing off Fan Pu and his party, Lin Jin returned to the boat from the shore and greeted Jia Lian with a smile: Second brother Lian, we meet again, how are you doing? You're here to pick up your sister, right? You can't wait, why don't you have to wait for my sister to go back to your house to see before going to your house, otherwise, as a member of the Lin family, you don't even know which way your door opens, won't it become a joke from time to time? β
Although on the way, Aunt Lin, Yang Wan and Lin Jin said that the Jia family would definitely take Daiyu to live at home, and Lin Ruhai's meaning when he was dying was also to let Daiyu follow Lin Jin and them back to the capital to continue to live in Jia's house. But according to Lin Jin's meaning, she didn't want Daiyu to live in Jia's house permanently, she felt that it was good to be similar to the model that Xiangyun went to Jia's house from time to time to live. As for what the family and Lin Ruhai are worried about, Daiyu's upbringing as a widowed and eldest daughter, she doesn't think it's a problem, it's really not good, she wants to find a way to ask a grandmother who came out of the palace to teach Daiyu. In this era, people who dare to question the education of the royal family are almost non-existent.
Hearing Lin Jin's euphemistic refusal to let him take Daiyu, Jia Lian said with some shame: "Cousin Jin, I didn't just pick up Sister Lin from the house this time, I came to pick up all of your family to live in our house." β
As soon as he said this, not only Lin Jin was taken aback, but Aunt Lin, Yang Wan, Daiyu, and the people who followed behind were all stunned.
Except for Brother Lin, who is ignorant and naΓ―ve and ignorant yet, everyone present knows that as long as they are not stupid, they know that the Jia family will never welcome Yang Wan, a stepfamily, and even Lin Jin, Aunt Lin, and Brother Lin, who have a relationship with her, will naturally not be popular.
Therefore, Yang Wan and Aunt Lin have already set the tone for them to get along with the Jia family, that is, not only will they not go to the door of the Jia family, but even if there is anything to deal with the Jia family, if Daiyu can come forward, Daiyu will come forward to convey it; If you can't, let Lin Jin, the head of the Lin family, solve it.
Aunt Lin and Yang Wan also made this clear to Daiyu and Lin Jin early. Not only did they not have any objections to this, but they felt that it was very reasonable. Especially Daiyu, who has lived in the Jia family for several years, knows very well the views of the Jia family on Yang Wan, the wife who was promoted from the second room, and Lin Jin and Lin Ge'er from her.
Not to mention that Lin Jin, Lin Ge'er and Daiyu have a very good relationship, as if they are sisters and brothers born from the same mother, even if it is Yang Wan with a complicated perception, Daiyu doesn't want her to go to Jia's house and accept the Jia family's contempt for her. Because no matter whether Yang Wan is good or not, she is now the wife of the Lin family, the head of the Lin family, representing the face of the Lin family, and Daiyu, the Lin family.
Lin Jin smiled and refused: "Second Brother Lian, what are you talking about, our Lin family has a house in Beijing, when you returned to Beijing from Gusu, I specially sent the big housekeeper Uncle Li to enter Beijing with you, and packed up the house in advance, so that we can move in when we come to Beijing." β
The corner of her eye glanced at Li He, the housekeeper who was speechless, and she muttered in her heart, but there was no leakage on her face, and said with a smile: "But don't worry, Second Brother Lian, when I go home and finish cleaning up, I will definitely take my sister to the door immediately to meet the old lady, the eldest master and the eldest wife, the second master and the second wife, and the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law of Zhu." β
Jia Lian looked at Li He, who was silent on the side, like a pillar poked there, gritted his teeth, his heart was horizontal, and he was very embarrassed to say: "It's not a question of whether to see or not, it's that your house can't be lived, because it's all burned down." β
"What?" Hearing this, Aunt Lin, Yang Wan, Lin Jin and Daiyu all screamed in unison, asking Li He: "Why did the house catch fire and be burned down for no reason?" What's going on? β
Li He explained the whole thing with a bitter face: "A while ago, the second master of Lian ran to the house and said that he would be the supervisor of the renovation of my family's house, and when he saw the floor heating method you designed for the uncle, he felt novel, and returned to the house and said to the craftsmen of the provincial courtyard that he wanted to use it in the provincial courtyard."
Over there, Mr. Yamazino, who helped design the Provincial Hospital, heard about it and came over to see what was going on. Although you have drawn it very clearly on the drawings, but because of this thing, the craftsmen are also doing it for the first time, all the floor heating in the home, the first two built, after burning, the heating effect is not very good, the effect of the later construction is average, and the last floor heating in the main courtyard is very good.
Mr. Yamazino wanted to understand why the floor heating built by the same craftsman was so different from the drawings according to the same craftsmen, so he not only demolished all the floor heating rebuilt at home, but also took the craftsman to make two of them. As a result, when testing the heating effect of the newly built underfloor heating, it may have been caused by a fire that was not properly sealed, and the fire was not timely and the fire was too big, so the house was completely burned. β
