Hearing Jia Baoyu's muttered words, everyone felt a little bad.

Everyone is really familiar with the temperament of this little ancestor, and sure enough, he fell jade again.

Everyone is used to this, and they are not too worried.

However, in order to cooperate with Jia's mother, everyone also pretended to be anxious and panicked.

Jia Mu was really worried, that was her life, baby pimple, seeing him fall jade, she immediately became anxious.

"Evil obstacles, why are you throwing that baby, the child of the Zhen family doesn't have Baoyu, he can't compare to you in this regard, don't believe you ask your three sisters?"

The three little girls looked at each other, and really let Jia Cong say it, as soon as she said this, Baoyu would definitely fall jade.

Hearing Mother Jia say this, they nodded and said, "The old lady guessed accurately, the treasure jade of the Zhen family does not have a psychic treasure jade." ”

Jia Mu said: "Look at what I said is right, the treasure jade of the Zhen family, how can I compare with you, you are much stronger than him." ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "Second brother, you promised just now that you were not in a hurry, and now that you are like this, how dare we play with you in the future?" ”

Under the persuasion of everyone, Jia Baoyu stopped making a fuss and stood there choking.

This kid just enjoys the feeling of being coaxed and feared.

At this time, a little girl ran in from outside and shouted, "Old lady, the master is here." ”

Just this voice is more effective than everyone's persuasion.

Jia Baoyu was stunned all of a sudden, quickly wiped away her tears, and looked at the door in a panic.

This operation directly stunned everyone.

Lin Daiyu wanted to laugh when she saw it, but Mother Jia was here, and she could only hold it back.

The others also had almost the same expression, and even Jia Mu was speechless for a while when she saw it.

This is really a brine point tofu, one thing drops one thing, as soon as I heard that his Lao Tzu was coming, it was like a mouse seeing a cat.

Jia Baoyu looked at it, but didn't see his Lao Tzu come in, and thought that the little maid was scaring him. Let yourself make a fool of yourself in front of others, and suddenly be a little annoyed and angry.

Said angrily: "You are blind, you dare to use the master to scare me, can't you want to fight?" ”

The little girl was startled by Jia Baoyu's angry shouting, opened her mouth, and before she could speak, Jia Zheng's voice came from outside the door.

"Damn the evil barrier, it's really getting more and more unruly, which one do you want to fight? Call me to see. ”

When Jia Baoyu heard Jia Zheng's voice, his face turned pale with fright instantly, and he hurriedly ran to the old lady's side to seek protection.

The door curtain was lifted, and Jia Zhengdang walked in first.

looked at Jia Baoyu with an unkind face, glared at him fiercely, and the frightened Jia Baoyu hurriedly stood up obediently.

Then, Lin Ruhai walked in from the outside on crutches.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu hurriedly ran forward and mixed him on the side.

"Daddy, you're here."

Lin Ruhai nodded at his daughter, looked up at Jia's mother above, took a few steps forward, and fell to his knees with a "poof".

"Little son-in-law, meet your mother-in-law, and wish your mother-in-law a long and healthy life."

Mother Jia scolded Baoyu when she saw her son come in, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, and just as she was about to open her mouth to scold, she saw her son-in-law Lin Ruhai walking in with a cane.

It's just that Lin Ruhai at this time has been seriously ill for a long time, and his hair has long been gray, his face is old, and he is skinny.

Where is there still the slightest bit of Tanhualang's demeanor back then.

The emperor commented on Tanhua, not only by looking at the literary style, but also by looking at the appearance, Tanhualang is the most outstanding one among the top ten candidates.

I think that Lin Ruhai was also handsome and chic, high-spirited, and as a tanhualang, he was even more favored by the emperor.

Rong Guogong picked him at this time, and became his son-in-law, a ten-mile red makeup marrying daughter, which caused a sensation in Shenjing City, and everyone was really envious and jealous.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

Seeing Lin Ruhai like this, and thinking of his daughter who died early, he couldn't help but feel sad, and tears appeared in the corners of his eyes.

"Like the sea, hurry up, hurry up, how did you become like this? Yu'er, help your father up. ”

Lin Ruhai kowtowed again, and then got up with Lin Daiyu's support and sat down on the chair next to him.

sighed and said: "It's really hard to say, I couldn't take care of Yu'er and her mother, and let my mother-in-law help take care of Yu'er, my son-in-law is really ashamed of my mother-in-law, and every time I think about it, I feel guilty." ”

When the mother heard this, she thought of her daughter, and she was also saddened.

wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and comforted: "It's all Min'er's child's blessings, I can't help you grow old, don't blame yourself too much, it's everyone's life, you also have to take good care of your body, Yu'er still needs you to be a father." ”

Lin Daiyu listened to the conversation between the two, and when she thought of her mother, she felt a little sad.

Lin Ruhai said: "Thank you for your understanding, my son-in-law is grateful." ”

At this time, everyone also came over to salute Lin Ruhai.

Wang Xifeng saw Lin Ruhai for the first time, although his face was a little haggard, but it was still difficult to hide the handsome spirit of the past.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, no wonder Sister Lin is outstanding in appearance and has such charm, it seems that she follows this Uncle Lin.

Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Baoyu and shouted, "Evil barrier, don't come to see your Uncle Lin." ”

Jia Baoyu is usually very polite, and he doesn't fall behind when he treats people, but today he was frightened by his own Lao Tzu, patronized and scared, forgot everything, and directly lost his standard.

Hearing Jia Zheng's scolding, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Little nephew, meet Uncle Lin." ”

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Baoyu has grown so big, he is really a good child, don't blame the second uncle too much, the child is still young after all, you need to be more patient." ”

Jia Zheng said with a smile: "I know how to play every day, and I don't know how to be motivated at all, I am really sad to death, which makes Ruhai smile." ”

The mother was not happy when she heard this, how could she expose her son's shortcomings in front of outsiders?

"Hmph" and said: "You also have the face to say Baoyu, when you were as old as him, I didn't see how good you were, so I knew how to scare Baoyu, what do you think he scared?" ”

Jia Zheng smiled wryly, and he couldn't refute it in the face of his mother.

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai could only come forward to break the siege.

"Baoyu is still young, and when he is older, he will know that he is motivated, and we all came from the era of playfulness."

Mother Jia nodded with satisfaction, this son-in-law can speak, and he is worthy of being a Tanhualang.

When Jia Yu heard the news, he also rushed over, and he was also taken aback when he saw Lin Ruhai.

Unexpectedly, the handsome Tanhualang back then now looks drooping and decrepit, which is really impressive.

"Ruhai, how did you become like this now?"

When Lin Ruhai saw this eldest brother, he was also full of emotion in his heart.

I think that back then, the high-spirited Jia Enhou, the right-hand man beside Prince Zhongyi, was even more favored by the emperor, and now he has become a waste person who nests at home every day and only knows how to spend time drinking.

If it hadn't been wrong back then, why would the Jia family have been defeated for so many years?

Fortunately, this eldest brother gave birth to a good son, and Jia Cong suddenly rose to the top, bringing the Jia family back to its peak again, and it was not disgraced to the prestige of the ancestors.

Brother Cong not only became his son-in-law, but also saved his life, and avenged himself and his deceased wife.

If you really want to count it, it can be regarded as stained with the light of this eldest brother.

Come to think of it, the world is really unpredictable and unpredictable.

Lin Ruhai stood up and bowed: "Little brother, I've seen my eldest brother, and my eldest brother is no longer what he used to be." ”

Seeing Lin Ruhai's swaying appearance, Jia Yu hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

sighed and said: "I haven't seen you for many years, everything is already wrong, we are all old, you are better, when you are well, you can still make great progress, and you can only stay at home for your brother." ”

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "You can cultivate Brother Cong to be like this, it is enough to be proud, what is not satisfied?" ”

When Jia Yu heard this, he was also happy in his heart, Jia Cong was the pride in his heart, and it was his own face.

Now, who dares to say that they are a piece of waste? If you have the ability, you can also cultivate a great son.

But the only regret is that it was passed to Dongfu early.

Now nominally he is no longer his son, but his nephew.

I knew that this kid was so promising, and he wouldn't let him go to Dongfu if he was killed, but who had front and back eyes at that time?

Fortunately, Brother Jia Jing is gone, and no one fights with him, Brother Cong still honors himself as always, which is enough.

Jia Yu laughed and said: "That's right, Brother Cong'er's child does give his brother's face, and having such a son as Brother Cong'er is the greatest pride in my life, and I am indeed content." ”

Seeing the eldest son boasting there, and the younger son's face became more and more fierce when he saw Baoyu, which scared Baoyu to the core, Jia's mother was a little overwhelmed.

"Okay, you're all here, everyone is uncomfortable, and your brothers haven't seen each other for many years, so let's go to the study to talk."

Several people knew it and hurriedly got up to say goodbye.

Lin Daiyu said: "Daddy, I won't go back with you today, and let Brother Cong send me back tomorrow." ”

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "There is no shortage of people around me to take care of me, so you can stay with your grandmother and go back to see it occasionally." ”

Lin Daiyu said: "How can it be done, my father is sick now, and it is when I need someone to take care of him, my daughter naturally has to serve and fulfill her filial piety by her side, and I will go back tomorrow." ”

Lin Ruhai saw that she insisted, so he nodded in agreement.

Now that she has an in-law, she is not afraid of others saying that she has no mother to discipline her.

It's good to go home for a while, over the years, the father and daughter have been together less and more away, and there is almost no time to get along.

After a few years of marriage, it will be someone else's family.

Lin Ruhai followed Jia Yu and Jia Zheng and left Jia's mother's residence together and went to Jia Zheng's study to talk.

Seeing that his Lao Tzu left, Jia Baoyu came back to life again, and followed everyone to talk and laugh, and he was not embarrassed at all.

Everyone has long been accustomed to it, and it is not strange to see it.

······

Dai Quan put the silver into the inner treasury and sent Li Biao out of the palace.

He returned to the imperial study and reported to Emperor Longqing.

At this time, Emperor Longqing was the only one in the imperial study, who was looking through the folds, and when he saw Dai Quan coming back, he looked up.

"But it's all done?"

Dai Quan said: "If you go back to your master, you have done it, all the harvest of Jinling has been sent to the master's inner treasury, and Ning Guogong is still very clever." ”

When Emperor Longqing heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he asked, "That old guy Song Yan, didn't you ask?" ”

Dai Quan said: "The master is really like a god, Lord Song saw that I was directing people to pull things into the palace, so he asked Ning Guogong, 'Ning Guogong, didn't you say that everything was handed over to the household department?' Why are you still pulling it into the palace? ’

Ning Guo said fairly: "Lord Song, the silver given to the household department will not be less than one or two, you can rest assured, this is a local product I got from Jiangnan, and I am dedicated to honoring Your Majesty." Master Song didn't ask any more questions. ”

Emperor Longqing nodded, Jia Cong, this kid, is very clever.

Thinking of the news sent by the embroidery guard just now, Lin Ruhai's belongings were actually loaded with more than 30 big cars, he was really rich, if it was all silver, how much would it have to be loaded?

Not only Lin Ruhai, Jia Cong's frame, but also more than 30 cars, what are so many vehicles loaded in?

Lin Ruhai has been in charge of the salt administration for all these years, and he is so rich that he is not greedy at all?

There is also Jia Cong, he got so much silver from his house, didn't he keep some of it himself?

Thinking about it like this, Emperor Longqing suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, as if Jia Cong and Lin Ruhai were really greedy for a lot of silver.

looked at Dai Quan beside him and asked: "Dai Quan, Xiuyi Wei just sent a message, saying that Lin Ruhai's belongings have more than 30 cars, do you say that he has been in Yangzhou for so many years, and he really has no corruption at all?" ”

Dai Quan thought for a while and said: "Master, Lord Lin's family is the fourth prince, and the savings for many years are not a small amount, and the belongings of a big family, more than 30 cars, are not much.

Besides, we also have people in the Salt Patrol Yamen, if Lord Lin was corrupt, we would have known it a long time ago, and it was precisely because Lord Lin was not bought that those salt merchants tried their best to get rid of him, and even kill him. ”

Emperor Longqing nodded and let go of his suspicions about Lin Ruhai.

According to the news, Jia Cong also has more than 30 cars of luggage, he is not moving, how can he have so much luggage? Do you think he will take advantage of the raid and make a lot of money? ”

Dai Quan has followed Emperor Longqing for many years, and knows that this master is suspicious by nature, and it is nothing to be suspicious.

He had been in control of the embroidery guards for many years, and he knew the officials too well, and it was almost impossible to say that the people who raided the house did not get their hands on them.

Jia Cong is not short of money, this is true, not lacking money does not mean that he will not reach out for money.

Besides, Jia Cong is not the kind of person who is brainless, and he is very good at being a person, and he will get a lot of benefits from him every year, which is really difficult to accept.

He hesitated for a moment and said: "Master, this kind of thing has always been up and down, even those officials are not clean, if you want to say that Ning Guogong didn't make any money, I guess no one will believe it."

However, Ning Guogong is not short of money, this is also true, it is difficult to say whether he can look at that little money, Yangzhou is the face of the salt patrol yamen, it is estimated that it is not easy to start, Jinling has handed over so much, it is estimated that there is not much oil and water.

When Ning Guogong left Beijing, he was more than 20 cars, brought a lot of female rolls, and brought back some gifts, it is not surprising, this time he was Yangzhou, Jinling, Suzhou, Hangzhou, turned around, and the spies in Yangzhou said that he bought five or six cars of gifts in Yangzhou alone. ”

Emperor Longqing thought about it and gave up.

Jia Cong is still very capable, and he has brought himself so much money, which has never happened before, even if he takes the opportunity to make some money, it is not a big deal.

If all the courtiers are like Jia Cong, what else do they have to worry about?
