Chapter 127: Departure
"It doesn't matter if the eldest brother doesn't make achievements! But you must teach Lian'er well, I think Lian'er is a smart and clever child, and you must not let him go the wrong way! He is the eldest son and grandson of Rongguo Mansion, and he will inherit the ancestral business in the future, and the responsibility to be borne is great! ”
Jia Yu nodded silently, he didn't care about this son before, he just thought about leaving everything to the old lady to teach, and it had nothing to do with him whether he taught it well or not. Now that he has listened to Jia Min's words, he has begun to think seriously about how to treat his son. Jia Min's words changed the fate of Jia Yu's father and son, and also changed the fate of many people.
Jia Daishan handed over the letter he had written to Zhen Yingjia and the letter to the patriarch of the Jia family to Lin Ruhai, "You find a suitable time to go to Jinling, be careful!" ”
Lin Ruhai took the letter and put it away, and then said to Jia Daishan: "Father-in-law, don't worry, the son-in-law knows it!" When I go to Jiangnan, I am afraid that I will not be able to honor my father-in-law for a long time, and I hope that my father-in-law will take care of himself! ”
"Lao Tzu is in good health! You can also pick up a knife and kill the enemy! But you husband and wife, alone in a foreign land, you must pay attention to your body, especially Min'er, who has been delicate since she was a child, you have to take care of her, don't let Lao Tzu worry about it! ”
"Yes! The son-in-law will take care of Min'er and won't let her accept any grievances! ”
"Hmmm! Let's go, let's go! When to leave, send a letter in advance and ask your eldest brother to see you off! ”
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min said goodbye to Jia Daishan and returned to the Lin Mansion. In the next few days, Lin Fuzhong began to be busy packing boxes. Lin Ruhai's errand has been handed over, and the friends who have changed his eyes have also met, and Lin Ruhai no longer goes out to arrange some matters in the house.
Lin Ruhai took most of the people in the secret guard camp away this time, and ten of them had already arrived in Suzhou in advance, arranged the location of the secret guard camp, and received Lin Ruhai and them into Suzhou. Another large part of the secret guards, Lin Ruhai asked them to dress up as boatmen and disperse them on the five boats rented by the Lin family to ensure the safety of the road from the capital to Suzhou. There are only five people left in the Valley of the Doctors, who are responsible for continuing to build the courtyards in the valley, as well as finding suitable orphans and little beggars to train as new guards in the Valley of the Doctors.
In the Lin Mansion, after Lin Ruhai discussed with Jia Min, he left Uncle Zhong and his wife, as well as Jia Min's family, there are more than a dozen people in the family, and they stay to watch the house.

On the side of Dayuan Fang, Lin Ruhai usually doesn't ask much, but Qi Lan went to Yangcheng to investigate the affairs of the mysterious person, and some things still have to be decided by Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai handed over the Dayuan Fang in the capital to Dark Five to manage, Dark Five is the old man of the Lin family, and his ability is also very strong, he can convince the public, and Lin Ruhai can rest assured that he will hand it over to him.
Everything was arranged according to schedule, and the things that Jia Min was going to take away were all packed and packed. On the eleventh day of the winter month, Lin Ruhai asked Lin Xing and Lin An to lead people to transport more than a dozen carriages of things to Tongzhou Wharf in advance, and it took half a day to load all the boxes used onto the ship. Lin An took the initiative to stay and guard the things on the ship, he didn't know that half of the boatmen on the ship were the secret guards of the Lin family, and the things couldn't be safer on the ship.
The next day, on the twelfth day of the winter month, Lin Fuzhong began to be busy before dawn, and at this time the sky was filled with fine snowflakes, which was the first snow since the beginning of winter this year. Jia Min hugged Lin Lang, who was wrapped in a ball, and walked out of the gate of the Lin Mansion, she suddenly stood still, turned her head and glanced at the plaque on the gate of the Lin Mansion, and took a deep breath.
"Madam, get in the car! We'll be back! Mo Lan said as he took Jia Min's arm.
"It's really a bit reluctant!"
"Yes! Don't say it's a wife, even a slave and a maid! Wei Zi pouted on the side and said.
At this time, Lin Ruhai walked over from the carriage team behind, "Why haven't you gotten on the car yet?" ”
"A little reluctant, take a second look!"
"I promise! We'll be back! Lin Ruhai took Lin Lang from Jia Min's hand, let Mo Lan help her into the carriage at the front, and then jumped into the carriage with Lin Lang in her arms.
"The master's kung fu is getting better and better, and so is the wife's. There will be no place for us in the future! Wei Zi said.
"I wish I never needed us! Get in the car! Mo Lan pulled Wei Zi and quickly got into the carriage behind.
Ten miles out of the city, the carriage procession stopped, and in the Shili Pavilion next to the official road, there were already people waiting here. Li Jifan and Lin Ruhai said goodbye to Lin Ruhai here in the same year, and Jia Yu and Lin Ruhai's uncle's cousin Shen Guangping would send them all the way to Tongzhou Wharf.
"Brother Ruhai! This farewell, let's see each other again is probably indefinite! Li Jifan said a little sadly.

"Why did Brother Ji Fan come out here? Is it really hopeless for the little brother to return to Beijing? Of course, Lin Ruhai knew that Li Jifan was also going to be a foreign officer, but he was just sad and deliberately joking.
"Where! For my brother, I will also go to Jincheng, Shanxi Province in the spring of next year, and I am afraid that I will have no hope of returning to Beijing! ”
Lin Ruhai understands that if Li Jifan's father has been holding an important position in Beijing, Li Jifan may be really difficult to return to Beijing, and even if he returns to Beijing, he will not be able to be in a high position, and Li Jifan is ambitious and ambitious, and his ability to choose a foreign appointment shows that he has to rely on his own ability to climb to a high position step by step. Lin Ruhai didn't say anything more, just raised his glass, "Everyone! If the sea is here, thank you for your love in the snow, and the little brother will do it first as a respect! With that, he drank all the wine in his glass.
After bidding farewell to Li Jifan and others, the Lin family's carriage team continued to move forward, and there were more carriages of Jia Yu and Shen Guangping. As the procession headed south, the snow became heavier and heavier, the snow on the ground gradually thickened, and the speed of the carriage slowed down. It wasn't until after noon that the Lin family's carriage procession arrived at the dock in Tongzhou. The Lin family almost moved the whole family this time, although they had already sent a batch of things to Suzhou in advance, but there were still a lot of things left to bring, plus dozens of people, Jia Min let people rent five big ships.
Everyone got out of the car one after another, Lin Ruhai instructed Lin Xing and others to take care of the remaining boxes and load them on the ship, and the other people were also busy with their duties. Lin Ruhai took Jia Min and Lin Lang to say goodbye to the two brothers who came to see them off.
"Uncle! Cousin! Go back quickly! With such a heavy snowfall, I can't go fast on the road, and when I go back at this time, I'm afraid it's going to be dark when I get to the capital! ”
"It's okay, it's a big deal to stay in Tongzhou for one night before leaving! Sister, hurry up and board the ship! Jia Yu insisted on watching Jia Min and them board the ship.
"That's right! It's cold, don't freeze the kids! Shen Guangping said and pinched Lin Lang's little face.
Lin Ruhai and the others boarded the boat, stood at the bow of the boat and waved goodbye to Jia Yu and Shen Guangping on the shore. Jia Yu and Shen Guangping looked at the ships that were gradually moving away from the dock, and they both unconsciously wiped their eyes.
