Chapter 102: Returning Home
What Lin Ruhai did not say was: Since the beginning of summer, it has rained in the south of the Yangtze River, causing the rivers to burst their banks and flooding thousands of hectares of fertile land. The emperor felt that Jiangnan was getting more and more chaotic, and deliberately asked him to go to Jiangnan in advance, saying that he would not wait for King Yan to calm down, and he would set off for his post, and it would only be until the end of the year at the latest.
Jia Min saw that he had unfinished words, and knew that he must have something to do. After thinking for a while, he instructed Hongmei: "Although Master Lang'er and I return to Beijing, you stay and sort out the rest of the things, and I will send someone to pick you up in two days." ”
"Yes! Mrs. rest assured! ”
Since she decided to go first, Jia Min didn't delay any longer, and asked people to quickly load the packed things into the car, and she followed Lin Ruhai to Lin Lang's house.
"Can Lang'er's things be packed?" Jia Min asked Lu's mother.
"Mrs. Hui, a few little maids were cleaned up yesterday."
"Give me Lang'er, let's leave immediately, you guys hurry up and pack up, the carriage is waiting outside!" Jia Min took Lin Lang and pointed to Lin Ruhai to Xiao Lin Lang, Xiao Lin Lang hadn't seen Lin Ruhai for a long time, looked at his father's smiling face, tilted his little head and looked at it, and finally buried his head in Jia Min's neck. Lin Ruhai's originally outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.
"Yes, the slaves and maids have generally collected their things, and they can get up."
"Hmmm! Hurry to the carriage. ”
When Jia Min and Lin Ruhai arrived at the door, the things were almost already loaded. Lin Ruhai took Xiao Lin Lang in Jia Min's arms, Mo Lan stepped forward to help Jia Min into the first two-car carriage, and then Lin Ruhai also hugged Xiao Lin Lang and followed into the carriage. When everything was ready, Lin Ruhai ordered to leave for Beijing.
In the carriage, Xiao Lin Lang sat in Lin Ruhai's arms and kept staring at Lin Ruhai.
"Lang'er doesn't remember her father? This is the father, Lang'er's favorite big tiger and lamb are the ones that the father gave you! Jia Min said to Lin Lang.
"Ahh Kobayashi Lang waved his little hand happily.
"What big tiger, little lamb?" Lin Ruhai was puzzled.
"It's those wood-carved gadgets you found out of nowhere."
"Oh! It was specially brought back from overseas. It was carved by an old dark guard on Linjia Island. There are a lot of things sent to Lang'er on the island, and I can't use them for a while, so I let people put them in the warehouse of the old house in Suzhou, and these gadgets are easy to carry, and the secret guard will bring them back by the way! ”
"Husband, are we going south soon?"
"Ahh......h
Xiao Lin Lang was not honest in Lin Ruhai's arms, and Jia Min took him into his arms.
Lin Ruhai saw that Xiao Lin Lang was quiet, so he replied, "Xu will be in advance." Now that the floods in Jiangnan have just passed, the displaced people have begun to riot, which shows how chaotic Jiangnan is. ”
"I still remember that we should go to Suzhou early next year."
"I'm afraid this time it's the end of the year at the latest, and it depends on when King Yan's side quells the riot."
"After I go back, I'll let people start to pack up slowly, do you want to send someone back to the old house in Suzhou to take care of it first."
"It's fine. Although the houses of the old mansion are repaired every year, the yard where we live still needs to be cleaned up! ”
"Let the eldest son of Uncle Zhong's family go, I think he is a safe one."
"You mean Lin Dayong?" Lin Ruhai remembered this person, in the previous life, he was the steward who stayed in the Lin Mansion in the capital.
"Hmmm! Now there are many things in our house Uncle Zhong asked him to run errands, but he didn't care about it before, when Lang'er held a 100-day banquet, I saw that he was shrewd and sleek, and he knew how to advance and retreat, and he was more capable than Uncle Zhong. ”
"Dayong used to follow his uncle on the Lin family's sea boat for a while, and he only came back when he was old in the past two years. If Min'er looks good, let him follow him to Suzhou as a housekeeper! Uncle Zhong and Liu Mo are old, so stay in the capital, and the province will follow us to work hard! ”
"That's what I thought too! Lin Dayong has twin sons who are only three years old this year, and I want them to be a little scholar or something for Lang'er. ”
Uncle Zhong had two sons and a daughter. The eldest son is Lin Dayong, his wife died after giving birth to twin sons, and a son who just got married, married to the daughter of a Zhuangzi on the head of the Lin family's capital, and now the two younger sons are the newly married eldest daughter-in-law. The second son, Lin Xiaoyong, once worked as a scholar for Mr. Lin, but unfortunately he died of a sudden illness before he got married. The only daughter was spoiled by Uncle Zhong and his wife since she was a child, and she insisted on marrying a dead housekeeper of the outer courtyard of the Lin Mansion, who was purged the year before last, and found out that she was greedy for bribes, and Uncle Zhong's daughter also betrayed the news of the Lin Mansion, and the family was bought by Lin Ruhaifa to the extremely cold coal kiln. At that time, Lin Ruhai saw that he was opposite Uncle Zhong's family, and he wanted to let his daughter go for the sake of his loyalty to the Lin Mansion. But Uncle Zhong resolutely wrote a letter of severance and never recognized this daughter again.
"Then bring them into the house first to see the temperament of the two children, if it is good, I will let people train them now, and then put them by Lang'er's side to serve two years later."
"Ahhh Well! Xiao Lin Lang was having fun by himself, and when he heard Lin Ruhai call his name, he raised his head to look at him, and handed the jade pendant in his little hand to Lin Ruhai's eyes.
Lin Ruhai smiled and took the jade pendant from Xiao Lin Lang's hand, who knows, Xiao Lin Lang was stunned for a moment and cried loudly.
Lin Ruhai was stunned on the spot with the jade pendant, "Didn't he give it to me?" ”
Jia Min took the jade pendant from Lin Ruhai's hand and stuffed it back into Xiao Lin Lang's hand, while coaxing Xiao Lin Lang warmly: "Lang'er doesn't cry, my father is playing with Lang'er." ”
Xiao Lin Lang stopped crying, but he still glanced at Lin Ruhai with a sob, saw Lin Ruhai with a wooden face, and lowered his mouth aggrievedly, turned his head to look at Jia Min and pointed at Lin Ruhai to complain, "Ahhhhhh ”
Jia Min nodded his son's forehead amusedly, "Little clever ghost!" ”
Lin Ruhai hadn't seen Lin Lang for many days, but he didn't expect this kid to become so clever.
"Lang'er grows up really fast, it's just over half a year old, and she actually looks at people's faces, and you know who to sue for support?"
"His father has more heart than Bigan, and his son naturally follows his father!" Jia Min glanced at Lin Ruhai with disgust.
Lin Ruhai shook his head helplessly, he really couldn't be tough in front of his wife and children.
Along the way, the husband and wife teased their son, laughter and laughter came from the carriage from time to time, and the servants of the nursing home outside who listened to it were also in a happy mood.
Happy times always pass quickly, and before you know it, Jia Min and their carriage arrived in front of the mansion.
