Half a month later, Jia Min returned to Beijing with a pair of children, the mother and son went back to the old house of the Lin family first, and only went to Rongguo Mansion to return to the province the next day.

Their movements were not small, and Yunqing quickly got the news, but considering that they had just entered Beijing, they had many things to do, so they waited for a few more days, and only after Jia Min had visited the people who should be visited, and the guests who should be invited were also invited, they handed over the post, and the better time to visit.

Yunqing visited, Lin Daiyu and Lin Moyu must be present, otherwise the two of them will be unhappy for a long time if they know, so Jia Min deliberately took the two home from Jiafu, everyone saw each other, and they had some affection, Lin Daiyu and Lin Moyu reported their respective homework progress, relying on Yunqing's presence, Jia Min would not be angry, the two turned on the poisonous tongue and complained mode, and criticized the grandfather's family.

"Real people help me talk to my mother, don't let me live in my grandfather's house, my grandfather's cousin Baoyu doesn't like to read, and he mixes with his sisters and sisters all day long, and I can't warm up the books, he wanders around all day long, if I read books, it seems that I deliberately use him to set off my own hard work, and the second uncle will scold him again when he knows, but I can't play with him like him, my father and master have assigned me a lot of homework, and I can't be punished...... "Lin Moyu pulled Yunqing's left sleeve and begged.

Lin Daiyu also said: "I also want to go home to live, the people of my grandfather's family...... Not very easy to get along with. ”

The children are resistant to their parents' family, and Jia Min is also quite helpless, hearing her daughter's words, she hurriedly asked: "Why is it difficult to get along?" Who wronged you? ”

Lin Daiyu shook her head, frowned slightly, and said: "My grandmother is very good to me and Moyu, my aunts are also warm and thoughtful, the two sisters-in-law take good care of our sisters, although the sisters have different temperaments, they are all humble and give each other, as for the uncles and cousins, they can't see each other all day, where will they give us grievances?" ”

"Mainly those subordinates of my grandfather's family, all of them have a big temper, so that the call is very uncomfortable, occasionally a little extra request, do not give a reward to make the call immobilized, many people have a bad mouth, love to chew a tongue, and the young masters and ladies of the family are full of judgments, not to mention that I and my brother are two guests, and there are no rules, I can't see the eyes and say a few words, some people talk about me, saying that I am careful to do too many things, that is not our family, and it is not good to punish on behalf of the family, so I can only be angry by myself."

Jia Min secretly remembered that it was not good to tell his children that his mother's family was wrong, so he could only comfort: "Your grandfather's family is a hundred-year-old family, and most of the slaves used in the family are born in the family, and the old people who have used it for several lifetimes, and such a big mansion, hundreds of subordinates, it is inevitable that there will be good and bad when there are too many people, you should be more considerate," said his daughter with frowns, and the wind of busy conversation changed, "But there is no need to have scruples, who dares to offend you, just tell your grandmother, she will definitely be the master for you and will not let you be wronged." ”

Lin Daiyu hesitated and didn't speak, Lin Moyu hurriedly said, "Do you have to live in your grandfather's house?" So what about my homework? ”

Jia Min hesitated for a moment and said: "I haven't been back to Beijing with your father for one or two decades, and now that I'm back, I have something to do, and I can't always be with your grandmother, so I can only let you do your filial piety for me, you live for a while, wait for the master invited by your father to come over, and then go home to study hard, as for the homework that you have pulled down, I will explain to your father for you, and I won't let you be punished." ”

Lin Moyu pouted and was silent.

Yun Qing was suspicious, and finally found an opportunity to ask: "I originally thought that Master Lin would be transferred to Beijing, and you would bring your family back, but now it seems that it is not, so why did you come back?" ”

Jia Min replied half-spit and half-revealed: "The master's position may change, and he will not stay in Yangzhou for a long time, let us come back first, there are in-laws to take care of, and he doesn't have to worry about us when he is working, he can let go of his hands and feet to do some practical things." ”

If you want to do things freely, you can't let your wife and children be around, what is this going to do? Yun Qing has a guess in his heart, it should be related to the salt tax, and it is likely to involve a new round of battle for succession, so he can't talk about it, but looking at Jia Min's state, it shouldn't be too dangerous, otherwise she wouldn't be so calm.

When the two children were not in front of him, Yun Qing said: "I made some new pills, and I went back to send them to Lord Lin, as well as the talisman jade pendant that I gave you last time, you remember to write a letter to tell him, you must carry it with you, with these things, I think no matter what happens, there should be no problem with safety." ”

Jia Min said excitedly: "We are relying on the treasure given by a real person, we dare to act like this, I don't hide it from you, my lord, his current position, is really a dilemma, the task explained above, it is a sin to not be completed, if you want to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, it is inevitable to offend many people, as the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, who knows what those people will do if they are in a hurry!" I don't dare to think of any meritorious service or not, as long as I can retire from this position safely, even if I can only go home to be a farmer in the future, I am grateful......"

Yun Qing is silent, people often say that shopping malls are like battlefields, and this officialdom is not far behind.

If Lin Ruhai can break free from the current quagmire, he may go further, but it is also possible to return to the pre-liberation period in one day, so let Jia Min take the children into Beijing first, there is nothing on his side that cannot implicate them, after all, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he must have scruples about what he wants to do, especially Prince Yizhong's experience is not far away, the emperor is very sensitive to security issues, Jia Min is in the capital, and he can indeed avoid Lin Ruhai's worries.

And Jia Min has to go against the wishes of the children and let them live in Rongguo Mansion, in addition to safety considerations, there should be other considerations, that is, in case Lin Ruhai is defeated, he will really become a Tian Sheweng, relying on the connections of the Jia family, the children will be able to walk better in the future, and someone will always save a lot of effort to help them.

Yunqing can't say that Jia Min's idea is wrong, the Jia family is not as prominent as before, and there are signs of decay, but they are deep-rooted, with the current situation, at least twenty years without worry, Jia Min wants to rely on the Jia family, it is really not a whimsical idea, but reasonable.

If the Jia family is compared to a ship, then, now the ship is a little old, and the power is not as sufficient as before, but it can still sail, although because no one can replace the ship, and no one can provide it with new power, its speed is getting slower and slower, and finally stagnates.

Generally, the so-called "gentleman's Ze V and beheaded" people are probably like this.

And the Jia family in the original work of the Red Mansion seems to have a sudden accident, the ship broke a hole, and then the hull sank quickly after the water entered the water, so that it lost the process of decay, but this is not what Jia Min could have predicted.
