Earth Immortal Righteous Path

Chapter 116 Daiyu
Jinling Forest House.

In the quiet courtyard, there are pine, cypress, and willow trees in the shade. In the early spring, they are lush and shaded from the sun. There are few people in the inner courtyard here, and it looks a little quiet.

Lin Ruhai changed into plain clothes, waved back the servants, and walked over here with only her daughter.

There is an attic here, and in front of the door, there are three servants who are dozing off, looking at the door one by one, and a few elderly nuns are sitting in the shade of the trees and chatting by the well.

At this time of year, the weather is still a little cool, and they generally wear thicker clothes, and wearing several layers of thick clothes makes them look more bloated.

This place is a place for idle work, it is specially prepared by the Lin family for elderly servants, it is considered a place for the elderly, and they are not expected to do anything, that is, to clean and clean when they have nothing to do.

Of course, the monthly payment is also a little less, only [-]% and [-] cash.Thirty percent is sent to the home, and thirty percent is sent directly, and the rest is kept for them, and they can be used when they are used... If not, they will not be able to save money.If there is a mistake, the monthly fine will be deducted from this savings account first.

There are not many people directly related to the Lin family, only Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu are left.

Since Lin Daiyu lost her mother when she was young, the family had to be supported by Lin Ruhai alone. In addition, he usually had to take care of the officialdom and socialize, so it was inevitable that she would not take good care of her daughter.

At this time, it was rare to sneak in, Lin Ruhai took her daughter's little hand, and explained to her the rules of the house and the reasoning behind it, one by one clearly, for fear that her daughter would not understand.

"Yu'er, do you understand?"

Lin Daiyu nodded obediently.

"Daddy doesn't give them the whole month's money at once because of the rules. Rules are where the family inheritance lies. They can be changed or less, but there must be no rewards and punishments. The patriarch loses the power of rewards and punishments, just like the magistrate being emptied by the Fu Cheng... ..."

Daiyu blinked her bright eyes and spoke crisply.

"That's right, Yu'er has almost comprehended it. Your mother should have taught you these things in the rear house, but now you have to do it for your father. It's a pity that being a father is not a woman after all, and many things are separated by a layer, only scratching the surface. "

"Privacy in the back house, means of fighting in the house, contacts with wives and ladies, gifts for major events and four-season gifts, all these are very important, but my father doesn't know about these things, so I can't help you."

Lin Ruhai felt sorry.

According to the financial status and family background of each family, the officials and eunuchs give different gifts, more or less, or what to give when something happens, there are certain customary rules. If it spreads in the circle, it is difficult for outsiders to understand the mystery.

Lin Ruhai was born in a family, and his wife Jia Min was the head of the four major families in Jinling. Her ancestors were all rich and noble, so these rules are naturally clear.

But to be clear, Lin Ruhai is not a woman after all, these things are usually handed over to Jia Min to prepare, and I have not done it myself, so I can only briefly mention a few points, and I really can't think about it in detail.

"Yu'er, your grandmother sent a letter and wanted to take you to the Duke's mansion in the capital to accompany her old man. As a father, I, I intend to send you there, just to learn how to be a housekeeper..."

Lin Ruhai burst into tears when he said this.

Lin Daiyu didn't understand why her father was crying, but just took a handkerchief and wiped away her father's tears.

"...In short, when you get married in the future, you will always be in charge of the back house. The man is in charge of the outside, and the woman is in charge of the house. It's better to learn now. Your grandmother is the official wife of the old Duke, and she takes care of a large family of several hundred. It is more than enough to teach you."

Lin Ruhai forced a smile and wiped away tears with her daughter's handkerchief.

With only such a daughter by his side, he really couldn't bear to send her to the capital thousands of miles away by himself, so he couldn't rest assured!

However, the strangeness of his promotion this time is quite unknown. The previous salt officials all died in office for no apparent reason. Home is looming.

Although the Lin family had some connections in Jinling, he had no clue what to do.

It's just that the king's order had to be obeyed, so Lin Ruhai had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the post.

For fear that her daughter would be implicated, she had to send someone to the capital first.

"That's your grandmother, she will never treat you badly. Dad prepared a gift for Yu'er, took it to the Jia family, and packed two boats. Yu'er will go with the Shuijun fleet along the way. It has always been safe and secure. .”

Lin Ruhai patted Daiyu's head lovingly as he said words that he didn't even believe.

The next day, Lin Ruhai saw him off at the pier.

The people from Jia's house had already arrived, Lin Ruhai didn't even look at it, but just cupped his hands to a general in brocade robes beside him.

"Vice General Wu, my daughter is safe, please!"

The 40-year-old man hurriedly returned the salute, his bronze-colored forehead was covered with sweat, as if he had just exercised.

"Master Lin, you've broken my old Wu! I'll take care of this little thing for you! This time I was ordered to mobilize the navy to patrol the canal, and no thief would dare to appear in front of me! Your daughter's boat Follow along, it's not safe!"

While patting his chest, he promised.

"Back then, Mr. Lin spoke uprightly. Old Wu, I have always remembered this favor, and I just thought about how to repay it. Otherwise, I would always think about it, and I would feel uncomfortable in my heart."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said.

"Favours belong to favors, and accidents belong to sophistication. This gift is not much, but it is always a thought. There are so many people under General Wu who always have to eat."

Unable to refuse, Lin Ruhai gave a thick stack of bank notes on the spot, about a hundred of them, all of which were issued by major banks in the capital. Vice-General Wu immediately became more enthusiastic.

Vice General Wu made a mistake while drinking a few years ago, and was given a copy.Originally, he was going to be unlucky, but Lin Ruhai felt that this person had a good character, so he said a few words for him and avoided a lot of guilt. This favor is owed.

This time Vice Admiral Wu received the order from the Ministry of War to dispatch the water army to patrol the canal, so Lin Ruhai took advantage of the opportunity to hang the two boats of the Lin family behind the fleet, and went to the capital together.

Afterwards, Lin Ruhai ordered a few words, and several senior nuns who listened to them nodded repeatedly, instructing a dozen servants and maidservants with big arms and round waists to carry some small objects onto the boat.

In the end, holding Lin Daiyu's hand, Lin Ruhai gave a few more instructions, and I don't know what they said, and Xiao Luoli burst into tears when she heard it.

Lin Ruhai whispered in the ear of her little daughter, her voice was like a mosquito.

"Yu'er, Daddy left some things for you, just in case, Yu'er is so smart, she must know where everything is. If things go wrong, none of these people can trust..."

In the end, Lin Ruhai was still not at ease, hesitated for a while, looked at his daughter's immature face, and said again cruelly.

"Your grandmother is getting old, and she is not the only one who has the final say in the Jia family. Sometimes, she will inevitably be confused. You, you, alas! Your grandmother will definitely not protect you, a person with a foreign surname!"

"Remember, if you find something wrong, you can open the things I left for you... I hope you won't need it!"
