Red House Shoufu

Chapter 53 Adoption
Lin Shu put Jia Lian's letter on the table, picked up a pen and began to reply.

After writing, I dried the ink, thought about it and wrote another letter.Then put it in an envelope, and saw that the recipients of the two letters were written on the envelopes: Jia Lian and Jia Jing!
"Before the curfew, you send it to Rongguo Mansion quickly. Let Cousin Lian arrange a place for you, and go to Ningguo Mansion tomorrow morning, and hand over the second letter to Ningguo Mansion to respect the master."

Wang Lun took the letter respectfully, and hurried out of the Lin residence again.

……

The next day, the weather finally cleared up.The snow melted under the sun, causing the temperature in the capital to drop sharply.

Wang Xifeng, who originally made an appointment to go to the incense, sent someone to send a letter, but the road was slippery and difficult, so he had to go another day.

On the contrary, Ningguo Mansion sent people to invite Lin Shu and Daiyu, saying that Master Jing had just returned to the mansion and wanted to meet the two brothers and sisters of the Lin family.

Lin Shu secretly thought, it seems that Jia Jing has received his letter.

Mother Wang wrapped Daiyu tightly, fearing that she would be frozen, helped her into the carriage, and rushed to Dashi Yongfang where the Ningguo Mansion was located.

Because of the weather, even though the sun was shining brightly, it couldn't dispel the severe cold on Ningrong Street.

Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were rushed to the door to wait. The father and son were a little embarrassed because of Qin Keqing.

In addition, Jia Rong was naturally afraid of her father, and when she saw Jia Zhen's pale face, she trembled and dared not say a word.

"What does the old man think, isn't it just a small juren, and I have to wait in the cold at the door..."

Jia Zhen's complaint fell into Jia Rong's ears, and he thought to himself, it's nothing to raise people, but Xie Yuan in Nanzhili is different.Going a step further, it is Jinshi. If you get the second-class, you can basically enter the Imperial Academy.

Creaking and creaking, the Lin family's carriage slowly approached Ningguo Mansion.Jia Zhen immediately put on a very friendly smile and went forward.

Lin Shu lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car.

"This is Big Brother Zhen? Younger brother Lin Shu, I met Big Brother Zhen!"

He bowed his hands and saluted first, and Lin Shu, who was very courteous, made Jia Zhen feel much better about him.

With the support of Wang Momo, Daiyu also got out of the carriage and greeted her with a blessing.After Jia Zhen returned the gifts to the brothers and sisters, she invited the Lin family to enter the mansion.

"Father is waiting in the main hall, let's go to the main hall first, and then let my cousin go to your sister-in-law's..."

After entering the mansion, Jia Zhen and his son led the brothers and sisters of the Lin family to the main hall. After crossing the long corridor, they came to the main hall of Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Jing, dressed in Confucian uniform, was standing at the door with his hands behind his back, scrutinizing the two brothers and sisters.

"Junior Lin Shu, pay respects to Uncle!"

"My niece pays respects to Uncle Jing!"

Although they are distant relatives, Ningrong and Rongfu can be said to be in the same breath in Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan's generation. When Jia Min was not married, he had a good relationship with his brothers.

Daiyu's uncle made Jia Jing quite sad. The man in the family was incompetent, and finally his daughter who was married far away was also affected.

"It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk. Zhen'er, get some refreshments over. Brother Rong, let's go back first!"

Jia Jingzhi left Jia Zhen and his son, and led the brothers and sisters to the house.

After sitting down, he first asked about Daiyu's physical condition, and then recalled Jia Min's past.

"Your mother was very mischievous when she was young, and she often teased several brothers in the two houses. Although a prince's daughter should be dignified and dignified, but too much compliance with etiquette also restricts her temper."

Jia Jing simply mentioned a few words, and then turned the topic to Xichun: "Xichun is my old daughter, her mother only had her at an advanced age, but unfortunately there is no suitable person in the house to raise her, so she has to be placed with my aunt. Now that I'm growing up day by day, I'm afraid I'll miss her if I procrastinate, so I thought about letting Xichun go with Miss Lin, brother Lin, is it convenient or not?"

Daiyu turned her head to look at Lin Shu. The brother and sister had already discussed this matter yesterday, but it was not settled in the end.

When Lin Shu heard Jia Jing mentioning this matter at this time, he couldn't help being a little annoyed.In yesterday's letter, he had already stated his concerns. Before the two of them had a deep talk, Jia Jing's actions seemed to be a bit persuasive.

"The matter of the four girls, the younger generation said in the letter yesterday that it's okay to have another younger sister to study with Yu'er, but the Lin family can't get involved in the wrestling of the four princes and eight princes. I don't know if my uncle can let the Ningguo Mansion get out of the four princes and eight princes. Cut it off?"

Jia Jing shook his head, with a lonely expression on his face.Since Lin Shu entered the mansion, this was the first time to see other expressions on his face.

"The mansion is too deeply involved, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to get rid of the entanglement of these things. Although the storm in the court has not yet reached Ningguo's mansion, I know that the storm will not be far away. There is no way for Zhen'er and the others to escape. I only hope Let Xichun get rid of this turmoil."

Lin Shu laments Jia Jing's sobriety, and the situation in Ningguo Mansion is actually more dangerous than Rongguo Mansion.

Even if the current emperor wants to use Qin Keqing's hand to win over those diehard loyalists of the old Prince Yizhong, regardless of success or failure, the Ningguo Mansion will eventually be implicated.

Qin Keqing was like the eye of the storm. The emperor, Zhongxin Palace, Yizhong Palace and even other hidden forces all wanted to get a share of it.

Seeing that Lin Shu didn't answer, Jia Jing sighed: "I know that this matter is a bit difficult, so I will record Xichun under the name of Brother She, if this is the case, I wonder if I can make you feel at ease?"

"what?"

Both Lin Shu and Daiyu were surprised, Xichun is Jia Jing's only daughter, and he is still alive, so it is really surprising that he will take the only daughter under the name of his stepbrother.

I only heard Jia Jing continue to say: "Since my sister was born, I have never cared about her. She is said to be my own daughter, and the number of times I meet her is very small. Now that the storm is approaching, the only thing I can do as a father is Find a way to give her a stable future."

Daiyu just felt that this was unimaginable, Lin Shu guessed vaguely that Jia Jing was probably betting that the lineage of Jia She in the Rongguo Mansion would be able to survive the storm in the future.

Xichun was adopted by Jia Amnesty and became Jia Lian's younger sister, and then she was educated with Daiyu.With both approaches, maybe the emperor will spare Xichun's life for Jia Lian and Daiyu's sake.

"elder brother……"

The atmosphere in the room made Daiyu restless, Jia Jing's pessimism and Lin Shu's seriousness made her very uncomfortable.

In just a moment, she guessed that the bloody storm was hidden behind this incident.

Lin Shu comforted Daiyu, and then asked: "Since uncle has already planned to get closer to His Majesty, why is he so pessimistic about the future of Ningguo Mansion?"

Jia Jing pointed to the northeast direction: "Longshou Palace will not allow Ningguo Mansion to change its gate so easily. He needs a force that can support Prince Yizhong's Mansion, and I, the old minister of the Crown Prince, is the best choice."

The present Prince Yizhong, Gao Wanju, is the bastard son of the former crown prince.Back then when the crown prince committed suicide, the Supreme Emperor remembered all the good things the eldest son had done, so he let the concubine become the noble.

In the past few years, the emperor has gradually escaped from his control. How can the Supreme Emperor, who has a strong desire for power, bear this kind of thing to happen.

Then he began to support the faithful Wang Gao Yongyi and Yizhong Prince Gao Wanchun to fight with the emperor. Only after the three parties balanced, did they feel a sense of security.

Jia Jing continued to explain: "No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. Just in case, I can only prepare for the worst outcome first. Unfortunately, sister... well, I hope Jinyu can agree, please. !"

He got up to salute Lin Shu, so startled that both brothers and sisters got up to avoid it.Lin Shu supported Jia Jing, looked at his gray temples, and felt quite uncomfortable.

Children are always the concern of parents, even if this person does not care about the only daughter on the surface, when he senses the crisis, he will immediately try his best to find a chance for his daughter.
