Looking at the departing figures of the salt merchants, Jia Qiong looked at the suddenly arrived stone and electricity again, and then looked at the housekeeper who was still looking at him, thought for a while, and then said:

"Steward Lin, I'll see what Master Shi is looking for me first, not you first.

。

”

"It should be, it should be. Third Master Qiong, you are busy with you, don't worry about me, and thank you for solving my problems. ”

Looking at the back of Jia Qiong and Shi Dian's departure, he nodded thoughtfully.

After returning to the study, the housekeeper told Lin Ruhai about the matter one by one.

After listening to the housekeeper's retelling, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but nodded, thinking that even if Jia Qiong could send these people away, it would take a lot of effort, he knew that these people were difficult.

Although I taught him a lot of things last year, I never thought that he would progress so quickly, and if he was a county official, he would not be deceived by those wealthy businessmen and officials.

When I realized something, I remembered the words repeated by the butler.

Lu Fangweng's humble position did not dare to forget the country, and the matter must still be closed. He had heard it and agreed with it.

And today, Jia Qiong's '*******, *******!'

It has raised the loyalty and patriotism of the monarch to a higher level.

If His Majesty knows about it, this sentence alone will inevitably be used more often.

I am now deeply trapped in the matter and cannot extricate myself, and it is inconvenient to recommend one or two for him.

However, staring at so many brocade guards on his own, he will inevitably report this matter, which is even more real.

Thinking of this, Jia Qiong didn't feel happy in her heart, because this was Jia Qiong's own struggle.

"Bang bang."

Listening to the voice, and looking at the housekeeper who went and returned outside the house, he couldn't help asking:

"Limber, what's the matter?"

Seeing Lin Ruhai's question, the housekeeper couldn't help but reply:

"Back to the master, the Suzhou people are here."

Lin Ruhai couldn't help but let out an 'oh' when he heard this, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't want to say anything, after all, people are here to mourn, and they can afford you when they come.

It's just that Suzhou Mansion is not far away, and the people who go to Suzhou to report the funeral are a day earlier than Jinling, and Jinling is still left by Brother Qiong to go by himself.

Now this Brother Qiong arrived first, but the people in Suzhou were a lot late, so they were naturally a little uncomfortable.

After all, everything is afraid of comparison.

Thinking of this, he asked the butler:

"Did that lead people to the mourning hall? Who are the people who came? Can it be properly arranged? ”

"I have already worshiped in the mourning hall, and it is your two uncles, your third cousin, and four junior men.

Your two uncles are waiting for you to see you at the mourning hall. ”

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

If your father dies, don't say goodbye, you should kowtow in the past, and you have to invite him.

However, his wife died, and this elder still took it like this, which is really a little undeserved, and he came here to see himself with the housekeeper.

After thinking about it for a while, I let go of the prejudices in my heart, people come from afar, and they should see each other.

Bento took the first step and walked towards the location of the mourning hall.

At the same time, Jia Qiong, who returned to the other courtyard, couldn't help but look at Shi Dian, he was a little curious why Shi Dian came to find him at this time.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

Seeing Jia Qiong's gaze, Shi Dian also knew what it meant, so he said:

"Third Master Qiong, when I went to Gongfang just now, I saw a maid from the Lin family secretly meeting a man."

Hearing this, Jia Qiong was a little stunned, but he also knew that Shi Dian was a steady person and would not say such trivial things, so he continued to look at Shi Dian and waited for him to continue to speak. Then I heard Shi Dian say:

"And I have seen this man before, I saw it that day when I was in the restaurant with you and Lord Lin. I was a little suspicious, so I followed, and saw that he had wandered around the mourning hall for a long time, and then went out with the salt merchant's servant.

I didn't go at the right time, but I vaguely heard, 'Don't worry, I'm not found, don't touch my parents and brother.' ’”

Hearing this, Jia Qiong somewhat understood. Thinking that Shi Dian happened to find out about this, he followed him all the way to the mourning hall, and happened to see that he was there at the time, and wanted to talk to himself.

Thinking of this, Jia Qiong didn't plan to stay any longer, she had to talk to Lin Ruhai about this matter anyway.

It is not in vain Lin Ruhai's teaching, Jia Min's care, in fact, Jia Qiong also knows that they are treating themselves as a substitute for Jia Zhu.

Grace is grace, and the newspaper still has to be repaid.

Walking to the study with Shi Dian, he heard Lin Ruhai's voice when he passed by the mourning hall, and he couldn't help but turn back again.

"Ruhai is very grateful to the two uncles and a few cousins who came from thousands of miles to pay tribute to his deceased wife."

"Like the sea, there is no need to be polite. They are all members of their own people, and this is our part, and we don't need to do it.

It's just that the juniors in the clan participated in the imperial examination and won the show, and they were delayed for a day, and I hope that Ruhai will not blame you. ”

Listening to what the elders said, Lin Ruhai didn't say anything else, so he chatted with him.

Seeing that everyone in the mourning hall was polite to each other, Jia Qiong couldn't help but stop and look behind, after all, such a thing can't be said in front of everyone, it can only wait for Lin Ruhai to finish it, anyway, this matter can't be in a hurry.

Maybe this woman was just an internal response that was placed in the Lin Mansion, and Lin Ruya was also inspected by Wu Zuo, and she was not poisoned and died, and she was just a suspect at the time.

Continuing to watch Lin Ruhai talk to his two elders, he saw one of his cousins beckoning to a young man beside him, and then looked at Lin Ruhai and said:

"Brother Ruhai, this is my son Lin Lang, I won the show a few days ago, so I brought it together to meet."

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he couldn't help frowning, is it necessary to mention the matter of talent show with him twice? Now is the time to pay tribute to the deceased wife, if you want to let yourself mention something, it should be a while.

In desperation, I had to say a few words to this Lin Lang, the people in the clan can't, they have to deal with it, if outsiders are like this, they will be driven out.

Looking at Lin Ruhai talking to everyone, I couldn't help but feel a little sorry that if Lin Ruhai could live longer, not only would Lin Daiyu not be lonely and depressed in the future.

And he will have one more help, and even Jia Fu will have one more powerful arm.

It's just that I don't know if it's running out of oil or if it's also poisoned.

"Third Master Qiong, but I have something to find the master."

The housekeeper saw Jia Qiong looking inside in the corner of the mourning hall, and couldn't help but come over and say hello.

Seeing that the housekeeper said this, Jia Qiong was not good at observing the affairs of the Lin family in the back. I had to answer casually:

"Well, there are some things, and it's not too urgent, waiting for my uncle to finish it."

Lin Ruhai heard the housekeeper and Jia Qiong talking, and couldn't help but look over and beckoned to Jia Qiong.

After Jia Qiong arrived, he thought for a few breaths, then looked at Lin Lang who was just right and said:

"Virtuous nephew, this is your aunt's nephew Jia Qiong, who is also a scholar, you can talk to him more."

As he spoke, he asked the housekeeper to beckon someone to prepare food, and he chatted with his elders and peers.

Seeing Lin Ruhai like this, Lin Lang couldn't help frowning and let himself chat with a furry doll.

Although he looked quite tall, if he looked closely at the fluff at the corners of his mouth, he knew that he was at most a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.

Thinking about the introduction of Lin Ruhai, knowing that it is a noble family, he must have practiced martial arts for many years, resulting in a taller figure than his age.

However, the theory of reading may also be about taking care of the face of the aunt's family, a little martial artist, and the court and the hundred officials are the most disliked.

Thinking of this, he felt a little superior, looked at Jia Qiong proudly, and said:

"Brother Jia, I don't know what books to read and write, but I have been reading poetry and classics for more than ten years for my brother, and I am seventeen years old this year, and I am already a famous talent, but I can also guide you one or two."

When Jia Qiong heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that Uncle Lin's fellow clan didn't know that he was already a lifter.

And he just introduced himself and said that he is also a scholar, thinking that he doesn't want to hurt this person's morale, so he will give Uncle Lin face, and it is not worth explaining anything.

Thinking of this, he said: "What the elder brother of the Lin family said is that there must be my teacher in the threesome, and if you want to come to Senior Brother Lin, you should have something to teach me." ”

Hearing what Jia Qiong said, several juniors from the Lin family who came over were all stunned, looking at each other, and then they were all a little surprised, and one of them walked out and said:

"What the brothers of the Jia family said is that there must be my teacher in the threesome, but we have five people here now, I don't know who is the teacher and who is the apprentice."

After speaking, he looked at Jia Qiong with a mocking look in his eyes, and just pointed to his nose and said, My brother Lin Lang is a Xiucai, what kind of identity are you, and you are worthy of saying that there must be such a thing as my teacher in a threesome.

Hearing this, Jia Qiong didn't care, she was forty years old in her heart, and she could still deal with a child.

Lin Lang couldn't help but smile when he heard his brother say this: "Cousin Lin Qiong, don't make fun of the Jia brothers, you two are people with the same name." ”

After speaking, he looked at Jia Qiong and said: "Brother Jia, what books do you read and write, but if there is something you don't understand, my brother may be able to answer a question or two for you." ”

Listening to the two brothers of the Lin family talking to each other and revealing these scheming, Jia Qiong was also a little speechless.

Not to mention being taught by Lin Ruhai for a year, even before studying with Jia Zhu, he could easily see it.

I didn't want to offend a few people, so I immediately said: "Thank you Brother Lin, my brother has been living with my uncle for a long time, and my uncle will directly solve some problems for me, and there are no problems for the time being." ”

Hearing what Jia Qiong said, Lin Lang's faces were a little bad, and they had also mentioned it to Lin Ruhai in the clan before, and asked him to help teach Lin Lang and a few outstanding children in the clan, but he refused.

I have never wanted to teach my wife's family, nor my own family.

Although he was unhappy in his heart, his face was a little uneasy, but in the end, he had some self-cultivation, and then smiled awkwardly to cover up the past.

Looking at the chatting of several people, although I couldn't hear what they said, they laughed like this not far from the mourning hall.

Let Lin Daiyu, who was kneeling in front of the spirit, feel a little unhappy in her heart, this brother with the same surname just kowtowed to his mother, and didn't say anything, it was better to comfort himself like Cousin Qiong.

In the side hall, Lin Ruhai watched Jia Qiong entertain the clansmen for himself and Daiyu, and couldn't help but be in a trance, if his son didn't go, his wife might not miss him and become ill, and he thought that he would be like this in the future.

After some more conversation, the butler informed them that the meal was ready.

Everyone went to the front hall together, and saw that there were three tables on the hall and under the hall, but there was no wine.

Under Lin Ruhai's instructions, the housekeeper arranged seats for everyone one by one.

Then the housekeeper invited Jia Qiong to the hall.

This move suddenly changed the faces of many people.

At this time, there were only six people at the table in the hall, three people of the same generation as Lin Ruhai, and two elders who were one generation higher.

Jia Qiong even saw that Lin Lang, who had been talking to him with a smile before, and even had to guide himself one or two, was full of jealousy and did not hide it.

Thinking about it, he felt that he had a bigger tooth order and couldn't go to the hall, but now the housekeeper's arrangement made him feel despised and lose face.

And when Lin Lang saw the housekeeper's arrangement, he remembered what Jia Qiong said about teaching him alone, but he was unwilling to teach himself, and his face was even more ugly.

Although Jia Qiong didn't take the Lin family's clansmen from other branches to heart, he didn't want to offend them in vain, so he said to the housekeeper: "I'm young, I'll just sit here." ”

After saying that, he sat down next to him.

"But ......"

The housekeeper was in a dilemma, but saw Lin Ruhai walking out from the inside at this time.

Seeing this, Jia Qiong got up and saluted.

Lin Ruhai laughed and said with a smile: "What are you doing sitting over there, come up and sit." ”

"Thank you, uncle, but my little nephew is sitting here."

Lin Ruhai glanced at the expressions of the nephews in the hall, understood it, and then smiled: "You don't have to be like this, you are already a lifter, in the end it is different from them, sit up." ”

The same table in the hall originally only knew that Jia Qiong was from the Jia family, but did not know that Jia Qiong was already a lifter.

But Lin Ruhai didn't know how to talk nonsense, remembering that Fang Cai was like a clown who wanted to point out him, and he didn't say anything to himself, he was still embarrassed by himself, and he couldn't help but be even more indignant in his heart, and lowered his head with an ugly face.

I thought that if Jia Qiong was at the same table with them, I wouldn't be able to eat a bite.

Several people of the same age glanced at each other, endured the discomfort in their hearts, suppressed their changing complexions, and all looked at Jia Qiong and persuaded Jia Qiong to take a seat.

Seeing the brothers like this, Lin Lang rubbed his faces behind everyone's back, then stood up and pretended to be generous and said:

"That's it...... Uncle, since you let you go up, the brothers of the Jia family should not be polite......"

Seeing Lin Ruhai's repeated invitations, Jia Qiong couldn't refuse anymore, and seeing that the young people at the same table were like this, and knowing what they meant, he arched his hand and walked to the hall.

He saluted the five elders on the seat, and then accompanied him at the end.

After Jia Qiong sat down, Lin Ruhai immediately asked everyone to use the seat.

However, for some reason, he put down the fast son without taking two bites and kept looking at Jia Qiong.

When the people at the table saw Lin Ruhai like this, they knew that Lin Ruhai had something to say, so they all slowly stopped.

Sure enough, Lin Ruhai waited for a moment to be quiet at the table, and then said to Jia Qiong with a smile:

"Please come here, there is one more important thing I want to ask you for."

"Uncle, please speak."

Seeing Jia Qiong so uncontrollable, Lin Ruhai blinked his red eyes, and then said loudly:

"My family's ancestral home was originally in Suzhou, and it is only temporary, but I have agreed with the elders of the clan to send your aunt's coffin to the ancestral land in Suzhou for burial.

It has been decided that the coffin will be returned after two days.

Because my spirit is short now, and I am entangled in government affairs, my uncle wants to ask you to go back to Suzhou with Yu'er for me. ”

As soon as Lin Ruhai's words came out, the entire hall and outside the hall were suddenly quiet.

Jia Qiong was a little surprised at first, but after glancing at the people around her, she was a little clear, but she still had some doubts.

Although Jia Min is his aunt, she is separated by nearly five generations. and married her husband, after Jia Min married into the Lin family, she was a member of the Lin family.

Unless there is really no one in the Lin family, it will not be the turn of outsiders to come to this funeral.

It was good to say that no one in the Lin family was here before, but now that the Lin family has come, it shouldn't be their turn, which seems somewhat unreasonable.

"Uncle, no!"

Hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Lin Lang in the hall couldn't help but stand up and say.

It's all because after they arrived today, they saw that the pomp and circumstance in Lin Ruhai's house was very big, and it was not comparable to ordinary portals.

Although the ancestor is a martial artist, except for Lin Ruhai, the main branch, the side branch of the clan is not rich.

And I just heard in the casual chat that since the obituary of the funeral, there is not a single official of all sizes in Yangzhou Mansion who has not come to mourn! and Lin Ruhai's lofty status in officialdom, Lin Lang can also borrow in the future.

The most important thing is that Lin Ruhai has no son, if Lin Ruhai intends to choose a person from the side house as the heir and inherit the family business in the future, the temptation is too great.

"Uncle, the brothers of the Jia family have come all the way to pay tribute to their aunt, but after all, they are not from their own clan, and since the people of my Lin family have arrived, how can they let them do it for them."

Facing everyone's eyes, Lin Lang smiled.

Several other children of the Lin family, who felt that they were also a little competitive, also immediately nodded in agreement.

Lin Ruhai didn't speak, and the few people sitting in the hall were not settled, and the eldest of them pondered:

"Ruhai Xian's nephew, but Lang'er has something wrong with them, if there is, even if you say it, they will correct it."

Lin Ruhai hurriedly gave up his hand: "Erbo is worried, Yu'er has been weak since she was a child, and she can't do some things herself, and she needs someone to help her, Brother Qiong has been in the house for more than a year last year, and his aunt and I treat him like a son, and now he is half a son, and Yu'er is also very dependent." ”

Hearing what Lin Ruhai said, everyone in the Lin family changed their faces, could it be that they had already made up their minds and promised this little cousin to this Jia Qiong, and let Jia Qiong take the responsibility of his son.

After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, he didn't wait for others to say more, and turned his head to look at Jia Qiong: "I wonder if Qiong'er is willing to help?" ”

Hearing this, Jia Qiong also understood that Lin Ruhai wanted to leave the family property, not let the clansmen have any chance to embezzle it, and use himself as a cover.

After figuring it out, Jia Qiong ignored the different colors in the eyes of Lin Lang and the others, and then got up and responded:

"Thanks to my uncle's trust, my nephew will definitely take care of Sister Yu'er and do everything he can!"

Although I don't know why Lin Ruhai did this, he has taught himself for more than a year, and he is nominally a member of Jia Min's mother's family, so he will definitely accompany Lin Ruhai to perform this scene at this time.

Seeing Jia Qiong agree, Lin Ruhai couldn't help nodding slightly, and then said:

"Sit down and eat."

PS: It's still a big chapter of 5,000 words, so it's not divided into chapters.

I wish you all a happy Qixi Festival!

I have a girlfriend and I have a good dream at night.

I don't have a girlfriend and hug my inflatable girlfriend and make a dream of red mansions at night.
