Lin Ruhai stood in the courtyard of his house, silently seeing this dazzling array of gifts entering the house, although there was no expression on his face, he was also a little shocked in his heart.

This time, the person who was sent to Yangzhou by Jia's mother to give gifts was called Shan Daliang, he gave Lin Ruhai a gift list, and said with a smile: "Aunt, you see, these are all specially picked by our old lady from the treasury in the house, and the Changbai old ginseng on it has been counted for one hundred and seventeen years, and it has been handed down for three generations to dig ginseng to teach Zhuangzi outside the Guan. The old lady was reluctant to use it herself, and wanted to make up for her daughter's body. ”

Shan Daliang was originally a steward in the Rongguo Mansion, since the chief steward Lai Da fell, Lin Zhixiao became the chief steward of the house, and Shan Daliang took over Lin Zhixiao's original position and became the second steward of the house, so that he could take over the errand of gift-giving.

Lin Ruhai glanced at the gift list a few times, nodded and said, "This is a rare good thing, thank you for your mother-in-law's love..."

Lin Ruhai took this gift list, quietly pondered in his heart, and said secretly: "My mother-in-law's family is still so rich, if there is a case, why don't you send Daiyu ......"

The reason why Lin Ruhai came up with such thoughts was that after all, it was still silver.

He is a salt patrol royal history, and since ancient times, he has been involved with salt, whether it is a salt difference or a private salt dealer, it is a huge profit, not to mention that he has held the power of Yangzhou official salt for several years.

Now that his wife is getting sicker and her own health is not too good, Lin Ruhai inevitably has pessimistic thoughts about the future. He has millions of furniture, but he only has a daughter of Daiyu, which is difficult to inherit, and according to the rules of the Lin family, his property can only be left to the clan in the end.

Lin Ruhai is naturally unwilling to deal with it like this, how can he work hard all his life and finally return all his family property to his family? After two generations, who can still remember the incense to his distant relative, the uncle?

After Lin Ruhai chatted with Shan Daliang for a while, he asked him to settle down in the house to rest, and at the same time, he also paid attention to it in his heart, and then asked Daiyu to go to Jia's house to live for a period of time.

……

Lin Ruhai accepted the gift, so he came to entertain Jia Lian again, and held a table of banquets to catch him up, all of which were Jiangnan cuisine.

Jia Lian couldn't say that he had just eaten at the prefect's yamen, so he went to the table and ate a few glasses of wine with Lin Ruhai. He hadn't cared about the situation of Lin Ruhai's family when he was in Rongguo Mansion before, but sitting at the Lin family's table at this time, he suddenly found that in addition to him, there were only two people in the huge Lin family at the table, Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu?

… The Lin family is also the descendants of the Hou Mansion, why are they so thin?

Jia Lian couldn't hide his words in his heart, so he asked Lin Ruhai this question.

There was nothing to hide about this, Lin Ruhai saw Jia Lian asking, and directly explained.

It turned out that the Lin family had always had a difficult heir, and Lin Ruhai's father only gave birth to him, and the existing Lin family's other cousins and brothers were far away, and there were not many contacts.

When Lin Ruhai talked about this at this time, he was inevitably depressed. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have thought about calling the Jia family to help Daiyu rob the family property after he died. In the future, Daiyu will live in the Jia family, which is better than living in the families of those people who are related to each other in five suits.

… When Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian were talking, they didn't notice Lin Daiyu on the side.

Lin Daiyu sat on Lin Ruhai's right hand, because since this table was a relative of Jia Lian, there was no problem for her to sit with her.

Lin Daiyu thought about the letter she had just torn up Jia Lian, and felt a little ashamed in her heart, but now that she had met again, she didn't know how to speak.

But Jia Lian didn't look at Daiyu on his side, just talked to Lin Ruhai.

Daiyu secretly glanced at it a few times, and saw that the two of them were talking and laughing, but there was no one to take care of herself, and her little head gradually lowered.

Mama Wang was standing behind to accompany Daiyu to dine, and when she saw her inexplicably bowing her head, she stepped forward and bowed her head and asked, "Girl, are you full?" ”

Where did I get full, but I was supported by a depressed breath.

Lin Daiyu choked her breath and looked like she was about to cry.

Seeing this, Mama Wang hurriedly took out a handkerchief and shouted, "Oops... Girl, what's going on? ”

With such a movement, Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian both turned their heads to look.

Seeing the two of them watching, Daiyu couldn't help it anymore with tears in her eyes, rolled down with a mouthful of tears, choked up and said, "I just thought about my mother, she hasn't eaten with us for a long time." ”

This is a true expression, if Jia Min is here, there will be someone to talk to her.

Lin Ruhai heard Daiyu say this, and a long sigh rose in his heart. He wanted to stretch out his hand to comfort Daiyu, but Confucianism paid attention to the name of 'strict father', and it was in front of others, so he had to give up.

When Jia Lian saw this situation, he laughed out loud on the side, breaking the sorrow of the Lin family's father and daughter.

Jia Lianxi said: "I have a younger brother in my family, called Baoyu, who is a perfect match for you." He has a piece of jade on his body, which is a treasure in the family, and if something goes wrong, he throws that jade over. Your tears are also treasures, roll them out, and think about calling someone to take care of them, right? ”

When Daiyu was sad, when she heard this, it seemed to add fuel to the fire, she stood up angrily, cried and said: "Why are you angry with me again, people say that this thing is born and raised, and I can stop it!" I'm sad about it, and you're angry with me about it! I'm just crying to death, you just have to laugh! ”

Lin Ruhai saw Daiyu crying, and complained to Jia Lian and Daiyu, so he stopped Daiyu first: "Have you ever spoken so much?" You know the rules! ”

Cheng Zhu Ersheng's science didn't ask his sister to talk to his brother like this.

When Daiyu saw her father scolding, she felt more and more embarrassed, and she didn't answer, so she shook off Mama Wang's hand, turned around and ran.

Seeing that Daiyu was about to run out of the house in a fit of anger, her shaking hand was finally grabbed by someone.

This person is Jia Lian, he rushed from the table in three or two steps, to catch Daiyu, where can she hide.

Jia Lian pulled Daiyu and said with a smile: "Why do you say that I am 'again' to annoy you, I count you as a filial person, and at such an age, I am annoyed by you." If it's really weird that you tear up the book, you won't just use that table to get angry. Let's talk about it first, if you want to be annoyed at this time, just go. ”

As he spoke, Jia Lian let go.

Daiyu stopped in place, finally stopped crying, wiped her tears and said: "You don't have to be with me for a while, if you want to be annoyed, just leave your hand early, what is this." ”

Jia Lian was a little impatient, let out a loud cry, lifted Daiyu with one hand, and regardless of her swaying left and right in the air, lifted her back to her original seat and fell.

Jia Lian sat back on his side and said, "You are so good to sit, and the second brother will be okay with you for hundreds of battles." Otherwise, they simply went to Kyoto to sell their teeth to people. ”

Daiyu didn't say a word, and finally stopped crying, and Mama Wang waited for the meal.

Lin Ruhai wanted to speak out because of this trouble, and when he saw that Daiyu was born, he gave up, and then came to talk to Jia Lian, but after a while, he asked Mama Wang to sandwich two dishes for Daiyu.

After eating, Daiyu left, she had homework to do every day, today because of the reception of Jia Lian is already late, I am afraid that I will have to work for a while at night to hand over the homework to Jia Yucun the next day.

Jia Lian also thought about saying goodbye at this time, he still had official business on him, and it was not good to rest outside.

Lin Ruhai asked someone to remove the table, and when he saw that Jia Lian was leaving, he said: "Don't worry, I heard that Lord Qincha was invited into the prefect's yamen in the afternoon, and I am afraid that the wine there will be drunk until the evening, and I can only stop when I see the thin horse in Yangzhou." ”
