The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 10 Lin Jiangzhu's return to her hometown
Not to mention how Xiuyan's mother took Xiuyan to take care of the Lin family's back house, nor how Lin Ruhai was seriously ill and left her alone, but just said that Jia Lianzheng and Daiyu were on their way from Huai'an to Yangzhou.

Lin Ruhai misunderstood Jia Lian, thinking that the Jia family deliberately delayed, so that he had no time to say a few last words to his daughter, and the Jia family would fish in troubled waters.If Jia Lian knew, he might cry out for grievances.In the cold autumn, the Huai'an area was hit by disasters. Due to the heavy rainfall this year, several towns around Huai'an were inundated with floods. Looting the wealthy businessmen in the past, shouting "robbing the rich and helping the poor".

Jia Lian and the others didn't get the news earlier, so they entered Huai'an city rashly by waterway, and they were followed by these two groups as soon as they approached the pier.Thanks to Jia Lian's ostentation, he took Jia Zheng's famous card to visit the prefect of Huai'an.The magistrate of Huai'an had received benefits from Jia's family, so he quickly sent people to fetch Jia Lian and Lin Daiyu to stay overnight in the mansion. Itching in my heart, I don't want to give up.

The bandits thought of a way, and while Jia Lian and Lin Daiyu were away, they sent water ghosts to dig out the bottom of the boat overnight, intending to grab some good things and go back.

From what they expected, the Jia family planned to transport money back from the Lin family this time, instead of sending money to Lin Ruhai, what valuable things they could bring.The only more expensive ones are Lin Daiyu's mink fur coats.

After a farce, Jia Lian wasted a full day in Huai'an. In the end, the thief was not caught, and the boat was useless. Go on the road angrily.

It was already midnight when we arrived in Yangzhou, and there was almost no one on the river, except for a few boats berthing occasionally, it was as empty as a lone goose.On Daiyu's left is Zicuckoo, on the right is Wang Momo, and Xueyan is following behind step by step, holding the only package that has not been soaked in water.The autumn wind was biting, and Daiyu swayed on the pedals, but fortunately Zijuan was quick-sighted and supported Daiyu steadily: "Miss, stand still, this river is not just for fun, the bottom is pitch black and I don't know how deep it is. "

Daiyu felt that her mind was distracted, and it was only when Zijuan mentioned it that she realized it. Looking at the dark river under her feet, Daiyu felt afraid.

Lin Xiang personally came to pick Daiyu back to the mansion, and the meeting between the master and the servant was inevitably sentimental.It's just that Lin Xiang prepared the best carriage in the house for Daiyu, instead of taking care of the Xing family. Lin Xiang's daughter-in-law and a few big girls used Mrs. Tang to roll the brocade quilt inside the carriage over and over again.When Daiyu got into the car, she was full of warmth, showing a rare smile in the past few days: "It's hard for you to be thoughtful."

Lin Xiang's daughter-in-law knelt on the sill of the shaft, and said embarrassingly: "I dare not be praised by the girl. This is the idea of ​​the mother and daughter of the Xing family. I am afraid that you will catch a cold when you get off the boat. Mrs. Xing knows The girl's boat arrives tonight, and she has already asked someone to tidy up the girl's house, and Miss Xing also asked someone to cook a few side dishes that the girl likes to eat."

Although Daiyu left home at a young age, she still clearly remembered that although her father had three concubines, none of them was named Xing. Moreover, Lin Xiang's daughter-in-law referred to her as his wife, and her identities did not match.Daiyu suspiciously asked Lin Xiang's daughter-in-law outside the curtain, "Which Xing family?"

Lin Xiang's daughter-in-law heard her daughter's question, and then remembered that the Xing family only got closer to the master in the past two or three years. Of course, the girl had never heard of it, so she hurriedly laughed: "It's the maiden's family of the girl's eldest aunt. .”

Madam?Mrs. Xing!
Daiyu, Zijuan and Xueyan in the car, even Wang Momo were also surprised.

Mrs. Xing is a well-known scumbag in the Jia family. She has a weak nature and only knows how to flatter the elder Jia She.Whenever there is money in or out, once it passes through her hands, it is doomed to embezzling and greedy for money.Sons and daughters servants, do not rely on anyone, do not listen to a word, extremely unpopular in Jia's family.

Daiyu followed Jia Mu, and often saw Jia Mu embarrassing the eldest aunt. The power of the Jia family had nothing to do with her.

Doesn't the father know this?Why did you hire such a person to help the housekeeper?

Zijuan knew that the girl was very thoughtful, so she stretched out her hand and put the blue and white cloak between her elbows on Daiyu's body: "Miss, don't worry, who is our master? Is it possible that a criminal who has a criminal record still doesn't know people clearly?"

After listening to her persuasion, Daiyu also felt that there was some truth to it. Her father was highly valued by the Supreme Emperor, and he was in charge of the Jiangnan salt administration.Daiyu smiled coquettishly: "You can talk, so is it possible that our master is going to abandon the wealth and honor of Rongguo Mansion and come to our Lin family to be a girl?"

Zijuan couldn't tell whether Daiyu was joking or telling the truth, and he didn't know how to answer, so he could only force a smile, "I follow the girl, of course I belong to the girl."

Daiyu sighed softly in her heart, what Wang Momo said was right, Zijuan still had her heart towards her grandmother's house, but she didn't blame Zijuan, Jia's mother would teach people, Zijuan followed the old lady and those people, and suddenly sent her to It's hard to forget the old master if you order her by yourself, and this is a kind and righteous girl.Daiyu and the others sat silently in the carriage, the guards of the city had already known the Master's order, and when they saw the Lin family's carriage entering the city, they had to open the door and let them go, and they could not block it arbitrarily.

After about half an hour, the chariots and horses finally arrived at Lin's house.A group of Lin Ruhai's staff at the gate had been waiting for a long time, Jia Lian jumped off the horse first, but Lin Ruhai was nowhere to be found in the crowd, so he knew that what was said in the letter was true, that Uncle Lin's family was really terminally ill.Although it was late at night, Lin Xiang didn't dare to delay at all, leading Jia Lian and Daiyu to Lin Ruhai's upper room.

At this moment, Lin Ruhai only felt that his heart was swollen, his mouth was tasteless, his feet were like cotton, his eyes were like vinegar, and he was coughing up bloody phlegm.The quack doctor who was invited didn't dare to prescribe any more drugs, so he dragged Xing Zhong to discuss secretly, Master Lin will be around tonight.

Xing Zhong could only pull Lin Ruhai to talk, for fear that it would be difficult for him to open his eyes once he closed them.Although Lin Ruhai was angry, he was not confused. Xing Zhong asked him ten sentences, but Lin Ruhai could barely answer half a sentence.

Hearing that the second master of Jia Jialian had brought the girl into the mansion suddenly, Lin Ruhai's spirit was lifted, the last bit of blood rushed to his heart, and his face suddenly became rosy.

The father and daughter couldn't help crying when they met. Jia Lian was moved by the scene, and when he thought of his dead mother, he also choked up.

Lin Ruhai held back his grief, pointed at Xing Zhong, Daiyu, and Jia Lian and said with a smile: "You don't recognize this, you should call me uncle."

Daiyu understood and guessed that he was Mrs. Xing's husband, so she stepped forward and gave a full salute.Jia Lian only regarded him as a relative of the Lin family, and smiled lightly at Xing Zhong, not saying much.

"Brother Lian should go to pay his respects. This is your mother's natal brother, Uncle Xing."

Jia Lian would never have imagined that he was Mrs. Xing's brother. Looking at Xing Zhong carefully, he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a broad face and a heavy mouth. He is not weak. Wherever there is any image of Mrs. Xing, he can be said to be Mrs. Wang's brother.

The uncle and nephew met each other and said hello.Lin Ruhai took a sip of the ginseng soup, gasped for breath, and said, "Daiyu went to see your adoptive mother. I begged Mrs. Xing to accept you as a daughter. If you encounter difficulties in the future, you should discuss it with your adoptive mother and sister Xing. Father has something to say." Tell your second brother Lian."

Daiyu was reluctant to part with her father, and she didn't want to leave, but she saw Uncle Xing and Lian's second cousin there, and the whole room was full of men. Wouldn't it be boring to be here?Those who knew said that she felt sorry for her father and couldn't bear to ignore her, but those who didn't know only thought that she had no winks and asked her father to bear the blame for herself.Thinking of this, Daiyu had no choice but to go.

Lin Ruhai beckoned to Jia Lian, and ordered Jia Lian to sit in the seat that Dai Yu had just sat in, "The old lady sent you instead of someone else, and she must know that my time is numbered, so I'm bothering you to take care of my funeral! I heard from your aunt that Brother Lian is a good boy, but the wife he married is too strict, and she doesn't look like a master in controlling you."

What Lin Ruhai said made Jia Lian feel ashamed. Only then did he know that Wang Xifeng's reputation as a shrew had spread to the south of the Yangtze River.

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Lian coldly, and felt that Jia Lian was not completely hopeless, and she had something to entrust to the child who shed tears of grief just now.Lin Ruhai smiled palely: "Uncle is running out of time, the only one who is worried about you is your sister Daiyu. There are a few things I bothered my nephew to send to the old lady, and I also entrusted a few words to the old lady."

Lin Ruhai nodded at Xing Zhong, and Xing Zhong hurriedly handed over the prepared banknotes and land deeds to Jia Lian.Although Jia Lian came here for this purpose, but seeing these things in the end, it's always boring to be embarrassing.Seeing Jia Lian's behavior, Lin Ruhai felt a little more at ease, and said with a light smile, "Brother Lian, take care of it. The total amount of money here is more than 100 million taels. It is all that my Lin family has, and I will deliver it to you. Go to the capital. Please tell the old lady, if the old lady still thinks about her aunt, she can keep some as a dowry for Daiyu in the future, and I won’t ask for anything else.”

Jia Lian wanted to open his mouth several times, but he felt embarrassed, but his conscience was uneasy, so he said in a muffled voice: "I will tell my uncle, before coming here, the elder master and the second wife have explained that my uncle's family should be able to raise more than 100 million yuan. Come, tell me to sell everything that can be sold, and ask Jiangnan Zhen's family to help keep the ones that can't be sold, and make plans in the future."

Lin Ruhai only felt that his heart had been stabbed by a knife, and he was anxious: "Then what did the old lady say?"

Jia Lian smiled bitterly: "The old lady didn't say anything, she just told her nephew repeatedly that she must take Sister Lin back home safe and sound."

Xing Zhong stood behind Jia Lian and patted Jia Lian on the shoulder, thanking him for telling the truth on behalf of Lin Ruhai.

"Brother Ruhai, you should make up your mind early!"

Lin Ruhai's face was like white wax, and when he closed his eyes and breathed, his soul had already left his body, leaving only a breath of turbid air in his chest, as if he hadn't heard Xing Zhong's words.Xing Zhong was horrified, he called out several times, and rushed to fetch the ginseng soup on the table, "Second Master Lian, please help Brother Ruhai."

Jia Lian didn't dare to delay, so he sat down on the bed and supported Lin Ruhai with his body. Xing Zhong pinched Lin Ruhai's mouth open, wanting to pour the ginseng soup in, and the yellow-brown soup trickled down the corners of Lin Ruhai's lips. Keep falling on the quilt.

Lin Ruhai choked, and actually caught a few strands of wandering soul back.
