Whether it is Jia Yu or Lin Ruhai, they have actually considered the marriage of their children for a long time.

Three years ago, the old lady was bent on taking her granddaughter to the capital, because she was worried that because of Jia Min's death, the Jia and Lin families would be far away from each other.

At that time, the prestige of Rongguo Mansion was far less than when the old man was alive, but Lin Ruhai was in full swing, and he was a high-ranking official at the very least, how could the old lady see the Lin family break away from the control of the Jia family.

Of course, the Rongguo Mansion has never controlled the Lin family, it is just the old lady's wishful imagination.

She wanted to make the two jades into a pair, and Lin Ruhai, who was caught in the whirlpool of Jiangnan, also wanted to find a good home for her daughter.

Thinking about it now, Lin Ruhai has a chill down his spine.

If he really responded to his mother-in-law's invitation back then, I am afraid that his own daughter would be buried in the second room of Rongguo Mansion.

With Jia Baoyu's temperament, how could his daughter stand the warblers and Yanyan who filled the yard? Then the Wang family had a disagreement with his wife in his early years, if the old lady passed away, Yu'er would not be tortured to death by the Wang family?

It's dangerous, it's dangerous! Thanks to Brother Cong'er, this child, has a future, opportunities, and a good temperament, and his daughter can be said to be childhood sweethearts, no matter how you look at it, I think it is the best choice.

Lin Ruhai listened to Jia Cong's voice begging for mercy outside, as well as the happy laughter of his daughter, and became more and more satisfied with his decision.

"Uncle, in my opinion, we might as well settle this matter today, so as to save future accidents!"

Jia Yu smiled meaningfully: "Where did the accident come from?" Ruhai is worried about the old lady's side? ”

Lin Ruhai replied: "Uncle knows me!" ”

"Hahahaha...... Don't worry, the words of the matchmaker of this parents' order, wait for me to write a marriage letter, and you and I will settle this matter today. After returning to Beijing, I went to the palace to meet and ask for a share of the decree of marriage. No matter how much the old lady can toss, will she dare to disobey the holy decree? ”

Jia Yu laughed, walked to the desk on the side and began to draw up the marriage letter. Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and smiled, and after he finished writing, he took up the pen and signed his name.

The two looked at each other and smiled, high-fived and swore an oath, and directly decided on the family affairs of a pair of children who were still playing outside.

……

"What? Uncle promised his cousin to Brother Cong? ”

Jia Lian, who had been busy outside for a day, looked incredible, he looked at the marriage book in his hand, opened his mouth wide in surprise, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Jia Yu was busy writing a letter to the capital, glanced at his eldest son with slanted eyes, and said dissatisfiedly: "What? Do you think your brother is not worthy of his niece? ”

Jia Lian hurriedly shook his head: "No, father." My son just thinks it's a bit ...... Some...... Father, the old lady has always wanted to give her cousin to Baoyu, you and your uncle came out like this, how can the old lady explain? ”

"Confess? Explain what? ”

Jia Yu put down the pen in his hand, looked out the window with mockery in his eyes, and said quietly: "Baoyu, the second son of a fifth-grade official, how can he be worthy of the concubine of a third-grade official?" Only my son can be matched! Hand over? When the decree of marriage is delivered to our house, the old lady is still busy coaxing her phoenix eggs! ”

"But my father ......"

"Nothing!"

Jia Yu interrupted the eldest son's words, dried the letter he had just written, sealed it in an envelope, handed it over and ordered: "Give it to Niu Ben and let him send it back to the capital as soon as possible." It is possible that your uncle will enter the cabinet in the future, and if he can marry this in-law, the benefits to our family will be more than a good daughter-in-law. It is only right to settle the matter as soon as possible. ”

The day after coming to Yangzhou, Jia Yu had an all-night long talk with Lin Ruhai. The two closed the door and discussed secretly for a long time, Lin Ruhai finally let go of his persistence and vigilance, and a secret letter departed from Yangzhou and was sent to the Forbidden City Qinzheng Palace.

Maybe in three or five years, Lin Ruhai will be in charge of the six departments, and when he knows the mandate of heaven at most, he will enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister and the official to worship the scholar.

With Lin Ruhai's qualifications, connections, and ability, whether it is Jia Cong's son-in-law or Jia Lian's nephew, Lin Ruhai will definitely do his best to help.

When the time comes, there will be Lin Ruhai, Wu will have Jia Enhou, and the big house of Rongguo Mansion will cut through the waves and go all the way.

Jia Lian put the letter away and was about to go out to find Niu Ben to arrange the delivery of the letter.

But he heard a knock at the door: "General, Niu Qianhu is here." ”

Or really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, but I saw Niu Ben come in and clenched his fists and said: "Pardon Gong, Cui Xuanye has recruited it, and that batch of silver is now in a Zhuangzi outside Huai'an Mansion......"

……

Daiyu walked into the room with a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup, and Lin Ruhai had just finished approving an official document.

Seeing his daughter looking at the official document in his hand with a displeased face, he smiled and quipped: "Yu'er has a black face, is she blaming her father for setting this family affair for you?" ”

The original displeasure immediately turned into a blush, Daiyu put the soup on the table, shook Lin Ruhai's arm and coquettishly: "Daddy is teasing me again, my daughter ignores you......"

Lin Ruhaile smiled and said: "I saw that you and Brother Cong were having a good time, childhood sweethearts, and it was also a beautiful conversation." If Yu'er doesn't want to, I'll go and tell Uncle Ling that I will tear up the marriage letter. ”

Daiyu tugged at Lin Ruhai's sleeve and said like a mosquito: "I don't want to, it's just that this matter is too sudden, and my daughter is a little uncomfortable, and I don't know how to get along with Brother Cong in the future." ”

Lin Ruhai patted the back of her daughter's hand and said with a smile: "It's just a marriage letter, how to get along before, how to get along in the future." Brother Cong is a good boy, and the reason why my father is in a hurry to settle this family matter with your uncle is that he is worried about your future. Our Lin family's heirs are not prosperous, and in your generation, there will be no brothers to help you marry into the Rongguo Mansion, and with your uncle to protect you, Brother Cong will not dare to give you grievances. ”

"How dare he?"

Daiyu tigress roared, gritted her teeth and said, "Brother Cong didn't dare to let me be wronged!" ”

Hehe......

Lin Ruhai looked at his daughter's self-confidence and smiled dumbly: "In the future, don't bully Brother Cong'er every day, in the future, you will always stand on Brother Cong'er's side to defend him, no matter who you are facing, you and Brother Cong are one." If he is good, you can be good! Remember? ”

Daiyu heard her father say that she and Brother Cong were one, hugged Lin Ruhai's arm and shook it vigorously, and said with shame: "Why does Daddy keep talking about this today, my daughter hasn't married yet, so you don't want me?" ”

Knock knock!

There was a knock on the door, and the father and daughter looked out.

A round head appeared in the door frame: "Uncle Daddy, my father asked me to invite you to the study, the whereabouts of the lost silver!" ”
