The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 72 Lin Ruhai

In the early morning of the next day, Mu Xu put on his clothes under Xiang Ling's service, and said, "Today I will send someone to bring your mother to Xingyuan, so that you mother and daughter can be reunited."

Seeing that Xiangling wanted to salute him after speaking, he waved his hands and said, "Okay, don't thank him all day long, the days will be long in the future, if you do this every day, it won't annoy you to death." Without waiting for Xiangling to respond , he had already crossed the threshold and walked out of the room.

Xiangling chased to the door, only to see his figure turn around the porch, and then disappeared.Xiangling had no choice but to go back to the room, she sat beside Mu Xu's bed, thinking that she would see her mother soon, she was both looking forward to and fearful.I couldn't help but think of what Mu Xu said just now, that the days will be long in the future, and I couldn't help but feel dizzy, and I was crazy for a while...

When Mu Xu came to the gate of Xingyuan, Jia Lian had already brought people to wait here.Just as Mu Xu was about to get on his horse, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Xue Pan since he came to Yangzhou, so he asked casually, "What about Xue Pan, why hasn't he seen anyone else?"

Jia Lian smiled wretchedly, "Where else can I go? I just got off the boat yesterday. After my lord went to the banquet, this kid took people to the brothel. He said he was going to see the Yangzhou skinny horse."

Mu Xu got on his horse, and waited for Jia Lian to follow him on horseback, then shook his head and said, "It's a pity that this guy grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, and he doesn't even have this experience. Those Yangzhou skinny horses are specially trained by those salt merchants. Come out, give it away or use it for yourself, where can you find it in ordinary brothels?"

Jia Lian didn't reply for a long time, Mu Xu looked back and found that this guy also showed yearning, he couldn't help joking, "The first thing we do when we come to Jiangnan this time is to check the salt administration. I don’t want my Yangzhou skinny horse at that time, so I will reward you all and let you take it back to Beijing.”

Jia Lian was overjoyed at first, and then complained with a mournful face, "It's not that my lord doesn't know that Rouge Tiger in my family. I want to take him back to Beijing. It's no wonder she didn't kill me."

Hearing what he said was pitiful, Mu Xu laughed out loud.While the two were chatting and laughing, they came to the Lin Mansion, and there was already a housekeeper waiting at the door.Seeing Mu Xu and his party, the housekeeper came forward to meet them.When they dismounted, he bowed and saluted, "Little Lin Quan, I have seen my future uncle and cousin."

Mu Xu smiled slightly when he heard him call him uncle, "Okay, don't be too polite." When he got up, he ordered someone to bring the salute to the servants of the Lin family.Then, under Lin Quan's leadership, he walked towards the Lin mansion.

Along the way, it can be seen that this mansion should have been bought by Lin Ruhai after he came to Yangzhou to serve as the inspector of salt and censor.Although it looks delicate, it is not big.After walking a few steps, several people came to the door of a room. Lin Quan didn't notify, and walked in directly with Mu Xu and Jia Lian.

Entering the room, one can see a mahogany desk with the Four Treasures of the Study and some copybooks on it. A middle-aged man is sitting in the back. He is wearing a blue robe with a handsome face and a long beard. Smiling, with a gentle look.Seeing them come in, he stood up with the support of a book boy.

After all, he is the future father-in-law, so Mu Xu didn't dare to neglect, and bowed down, "My nephew has met my uncle."

Jia Lian also saluted, "I have seen Uncle Lin."

Lin Ruhai used his hand to support him, "You two nephews, please get up quickly." This movement obviously affected his wound, causing his footsteps to be a little unsteady, and the schoolboy was so frightened that he hurriedly helped him to sit on the chair again.

After Lin Ruhai sat down, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked the two to sit down.Only then did he take a closer look at Mu Xu, and saw that he had a handsome face, bright eyes, and a tall and straight figure even when he sat down, so he couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.

He laughed and said, "I was supposed to go to meet my nephew, but now I'm not feeling well, but I'm so tired that my nephew came to see me first, I'm really sorry." Mu Xu was also polite.After a while, Lin Ruhai told the butler Lin Quan, "Take Master Biao to the garden to relax. I have something to talk to Nephew Mu Xian."

Seeing that the two of them had something to say, Jia Lian was not surprised, and followed Lin Quan out of the study.After the bookboy served a cup of tea for each of them, he followed them out and stood guard at the door.

When there were only two people left in the room, Lin Ruhai asked about Daiyu's situation in Beijing.Seeing that he sent Jia Lian away, Mu Xu didn't hide anything, and explained Daiyu's situation in Beijing in detail.Including some situations he saw from books in his previous life.After Lin Ruhai finished listening, he couldn't believe it, and asked Mu Xu again, and after comparing it with what he knew, he immediately became furious, "It's so unreasonable, it's too deceitful."

Mu Xu saw that his angry look didn't seem to be fake, so he couldn't help asking doubtfully, "Don't uncle Lin know about sister Lin's situation in Jia's mansion?"

Lin Ruhai was about to stand up while supporting the book case, but Mu Xu hurriedly stepped forward to help, Lin Ruhai thanked, and with Mu Xu's help, he got down to the bookshelf, and took out a few letters from a box.Then he went back to the desk and sat down. He handed several letters to Mu Xu and motioned him to read them.

Mu Xu was not too polite, opened it and looked at it. Some letters were written by Jia's mother, some were written by Jia Zheng to Lin Ruhai, and some were written by Daiyu.The contents of the letters were similar, they all said that Daiyu was all well and well in Rongguo Mansion, but Jia Mu's letter revealed between the lines that she wanted to marry the Lin family.

After reading it, Mu Xu couldn't help but wonder, "Sister Lin's letter, I think it's because I'm afraid that Uncle Lin will be worried, so I will report the good news but not the bad news, but Uncle Lin is too..."

Lin Ruhai interrupted him, "My nephew wants to say, I trust others too much, don't I?"

Hearing what he said, Mu Xu nodded without refuting.

Lin Ruhai smiled wryly, "Nephew, I don't know that Yu'er's mother and I were released from Beijing not long after we got married. In my memory, the Rongguo Mansion was strict at that time, and no one dared to go beyond the rules. So When Yu'er went to Beijing, I was afraid that people in our house would be rude, so I didn't dare to send more people there." He paused, and then continued, "Besides, Brother Cunzhou and I have always been friends and we often exchange letters. Mother-in-law is also there After Yu'er's mother left, she sent letters over and over again, asking to take Yu'er to Beijing and raise her personally. So when I received these letters, I didn't think too much about it."

Speaking of this, he slapped the desk hard again, and continued, "The one who completely dispelled my doubts is Yu'er's nanny, Mrs. Wang."

Mu Xu's heart moved, "But the mother Wang who accompanied Sister Lin to Beijing?"

Lin Ruhai nodded and said angrily, "It's this bitch. Last year, when Nanny Wang's son got married, she went back to Yangzhou. I called her here and asked about Yu'er's situation in Beijing. It's the same as those letters, only saying that Yu'er is fine in Beijing."

"Of course I believed it, and I didn't doubt it anymore. I just sent someone to Jia's mansion to send five thousand taels of silver every six months. After this year, I suddenly received a letter from my mother-in-law, talking about the marriage between Yu'er and my nephew. , I felt that something was wrong, so today my nephew came, and I deliberately dismissed Jia Lian, just to ask clearly."

After hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Mu Xu finally let go of some prejudice against Lin Ruhai, and also solved a doubt in his heart. No matter in reality or in the original book, this Wang Momo only appeared in the beginning, and then disappeared. Thinking of her Also surnamed Wang, his heart moved, and he couldn't help asking, "Then where is this mother Wang now, she is also surnamed Wang, could it be...?"

Lin Ruhai was taken aback, "You mean she was sent to our residence by the Jia Wang family?"

"That's exactly what I think, because as far as I know, Aunt Jia had a lot of grievances with this Wang family when she was not married, and this Wang family was very vicious."

Hearing Mu Xu's words, Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, "It's too late now, their whole family has left our Lin residence. Years ago they asked me to resign and said they wanted to go back to their hometown, so I agreed. Now my nephew said this, It seems that this matter is almost inseparable, what a Jia Wang family."

Lin Ruhai was silent for a while, then suddenly got up and bowed to Mu Xu, Mu Xu hurriedly returned the salute, repeatedly saying no.

Lin Ruhai didn't listen to him, insisted on bowing down, and said after sitting down again, "I'm thanking you for letting me know the truth, and thanking you for saving Yu'er's life."

After finishing speaking, he showed a frightened expression, "After Yu'er's mother and younger brother left, I swore in my heart that I would avenge them, but I couldn't worry about Yu'er. Later, the old lady of Jia's mansion sent her a letter, so I sent her to Jingli."

Although he had guessed that there might be something wrong with Jia Min's death, Mu Xu still couldn't believe it after hearing his confirmation, "Uncle, do you know who did it?"

Lin Ruhai showed a pained expression, tears flashed in his eyes, "The left and right are just those people, and I'm to blame for my carelessness, I didn't expect these people to attack the women and children in the back house, and when I found out, both mother and child were already poisoned. "

　The screenwriter just informed that the Red Mansion genre can no longer stay in science fiction, and the book is estimated to be transferred to light novels.I took a look, and the recommended collection of new books over there is very high.I went with this score, and I guess I was overwhelmed directly.

　　Everyone has votes to support.thank you very much
