Across the heavens in the Red Mansion

Chapter 172 Father and Daughter Meet, Unexpected Answer
Jia Lang and his party quickly entered Yangzhou City and arrived at the Lin Mansion in Yangzhou City under the leadership of the servants of the Lin Mansion in a carriage.

Although the Lin Mansion is not as resplendent and extravagant as the Jia family, this is mainly because the Lin Mansion here is not the hometown of the Lin Mansion, but moved here after Lin Ruhai was promoted to be the Yushi Xunyan and the doctor of Lantai Temple. '

However, even so, the Lin Mansion is very well-renovated. If you enter it, you can also find that the pavilions, pavilions, rockeries and waters are also unique and exquisite.

After arriving at Lin's mansion, the housekeeper of Lin's mansion also came out quickly after being notified by the door, and saw an elderly man who looked charitable coming out, he first glanced at Jia Lang and his party and waited to concentrate for a while Finally, she shed tears before she knew it, and her teeth moved slightly.

"Who is that old man? Why are you crying for no reason?" Jia Lang whispered to the servants of the Lin family who were leading the way beside him. This old man didn't look like Lin Ruhai at his age. Lin Ruhai is only middle-aged now. Moreover, the letter said that he was terminally ill, and this man's expression was very good.

Jia Lian was just about to blurt out a question, seeing that Jia Lang asked first, and waiting for the servant to reply, the servant was too busy: "Return to the two young masters, that person is the chief steward of our Lin residence, the old lady is still alive It's time to wait, maybe she shed tears when she saw Miss."

When Jia Lang asked this, Jia Lang didn't respond, but Lin Daiyu who was behind her seemed to have wiped her eyes with water, and she also looked at her carefully for a few times before she stepped forward uncertainly, and said in a low voice, "Ma. Grandpa! Is my father okay?"

Lin Daiyu left Lin Ruhai when she was five or six years old, and went to Jia's house in the capital. She lived in Jia's house for about five or six years. It turned out that she couldn't remember what the family looked like. This was Lin Daiyu when she was a child. It's kind, so I haven't completely forgotten it.

Xu Shi had reached the end of his age, the old man wiped away his tears, looked carefully at Lin Daiyu in front of him and said, "Good! Good! Just come back!"

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help shaking his head, and then the old man waved his hands behind him, calling out to a girl and saying: "You take the young lady to meet the master!"

"Miss, master has been waiting for you! Go and see you!" The old man looked inexplicable, even a little desolate. He served the Lin family for most of his life, but in the end he sent away two generations. To him, this was no less than his own The young son, who is old and has enough energy, went first.

Lin Daiyu has not completely lost her mind. As a talented woman with equal emphasis on talent and intelligence, Lin Daiyu actually knows how to deal with things gently and well, but because of the environment she is in, she doesn't show much.

Immediately, Lin Daiyu wiped away her tears, turned her head to Jia Lang and Jia Lian and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Second Brother Lian, Third Brother Lang, I will excuse you first!"

Jia Lang and the two of them nodded to indicate that they don't need to pay attention to the two of them, and that it's important to go to see Lin Ruhai first.Lin Daiyu saw that she had entered Jia's mansion with the two girls who were close to her and the girl pointed out by the housekeeper.

Seeing this, Jia Lang and Jia Lian didn't want to disturb them. After Lin Daiyu followed the girl into the Lin Mansion, the old man turned around to look at Jia Lang and Jia Lian with an apologetic smile and said, "I'm sorry, you two cousins! Master really It's because she misses her so much, don't blame her!"

The two young masters waved their hands one after another, and said politely: "Steward Ma, don't worry about it, we are all trying to save priorities!"

The old man Ma heard that the two young cousins ​​of Jia's family were very measured in their words, and they spoke well, and then the old man Ma's face became more and more kind, and he was definitely not sad because he just met Lin Daiyu. There are not many people who can be said to be housekeepers of big families who are not smart, let alone his age.

"You two young masters, please come with me. The wing room has already been prepared for the two of you!" Then he greeted the servants who came behind him and led Jia Lian and Jia Lang followed the servants to the residence prepared for the servants. .

Jia Lang looked at each other, and then politely thanked Steward Ma, and then they all walked into Lin's mansion.

······
"Master, drink the medicine!"

Lin Ruhai's master bedroom. At this time, Lin Ruhai is taking the soup under the service of his last aunt. Although he knows that the medicine has no effect on him, his body knows best. He is drinking the medicine, but he still has some hope. , I hope to see my daughter again before I die.

"Oh, it's hard for you!" After Lin Ruhai took the last sip of the medicine, he looked at the woman who had become haggard because of his complexion. As early as he knew that his life would not be long, he each gave An Jiafei to several of his own children. The aunts are all dismissed, but only this one refuses to leave no matter what.

"If there is no master, there will be no me, Bai Su'er. Today, master, don't say such hurtful things!" The somewhat haggard woman could vaguely see her appearance, but she just replied with a sincere face when facing Lin Ruhai, and continued to use a wet towel to treat Lin Ruhai. Wipe your forehead.

"Dong dong!" There were several crisp knocks on the door, and Lin Ruhai said weakly to the woman beside him: "Su'er, let the outsiders in!"

Then the girl outside came in under Aunt Bai's greeting, and said slightly: "Reporting to the master, Guanshi Ma said that the young lady has arrived in Yangzhou today, and Guanshi Ma has already sent someone to pick her up!"

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai's face turned slightly rosy, and he also became excited and said, "If Miss comes back, let her come to see me first!"

"Yes!" Seeing this, the girl retreated and left, and then saw that the girl was about to leave the room, Lin Ruhai said again: "Come back!"

The girl came back respectfully after hearing this, only to see Lin Ruhai said: "Remember to ask Uncle Ma to entertain you, the Jia family has two relatives!"

Jia's mansion had to reply to the letter before Jia Lang and others preached to the Lin family in Yangzhou. Naturally, Lin Ruhai knew who escorted his daughter back!

Time passed, Bai Su'er at the side saw the time and guessed that Lin Daiyu should go to the Lin Mansion, thinking of Lin Ruhai's bid to leave, Lin Ruhai smiled helplessly when she saw this: "Well, it's okay to meet Yu'er as well!"

Lin Ruhai had figured it out, but Bai Su'er was not ready, and she said repeatedly, Lin Ruhai had no choice but to agree.

Under the leadership of the girl, Lin Daiyu walked all the way in the Lin Mansion. Looking at the gradually familiar scenery around her, Lin Daiyu became more and more afraid. She was only afraid of losing if she had owned it, and she was even more afraid of losing it when she had lost it. Her mother was like this. Is it the same for my father?

Why is God so unfair to him!The more Lin Daiyu thought about it, the more sad she became, but at this moment she controlled her tears, because she was going to see her father later, and he didn't want her father to spend the last few times he saw her in tears.

Outside Lin Ruhai's house, Lin Daiyu was stunned for a moment, she dared not go in for a while, she was afraid of seeing her father's old appearance!

"Squeak!" There was a sound of pushing the door, and a woman who looked like 26 came out with a washbasin, just in time to bump into Lin Daiyu who was about to enter the house, and looked at Lin Daiyu who was having a hard time making a choice.

Bai Su'er stepped forward and said softly to Lin Daiyu: "I think this is Miss, the master has been waiting for a long time, go in quickly!"

"Hmm!" Lin Daiyu, when Bai Su'er said this, felt homesick for her father, said politely to Bai Su'er, said to Zijuan and Xueyan, and then walked in the door alone.

Among them, the depth of love between the two fathers and daughters does not need to be said by outsiders. After all, Lin Daiyu broke her defense with Lin Ruhai's confession of funerals, and said that she had agreed to do it in front of her father. Be strong, let father go with peace of mind, but in the end, emotion overcame reason!

Both of them talked about the days when they were not together, most of them reported good news but not bad news!I'm afraid the other party is worried!
On the second day, Lin Ruhai met Jia Lang and Jia Lian in his study while dragging his wounded body. Lin Daiyu on the side had been serving her closely all the time. She wanted to spend the last days with her father well. of

"Nephew Jia Lian (Jia Lang) pays respects to Uncle Lin!"

Jia Lang and Jia Lang looked at Lin Ruhai who was dying of illness, and they performed the etiquette of juniors very solemnly. Jia Lang and Jia Lian used the etiquette that they would only perform when meeting their immediate elders.

Lin Ruhai looked at the attack, and the two handsome and handsome young masters of the Jia family forced their faces to smile and said, "I will know that Jia's mansion is full of talented people when I see you today!"

For a few days, they still greeted each other politely as usual, this is the ancient truth.

After finishing the greetings, Lin Ruhai said seriously: "I know what you guys mean. The Dr. Wang who invited here has already decided that I won't survive the last month at most. You just wait in Yangzhou City! Let me Stay with Yu'er for a while longer!"

When Lin Ruhai talked about his own death, there was no ups and downs at all, as if he had lost his will to live.

"Father! Don't say that, you can live for a long time, until Yu'er gets married!" Lin Daiyu forced her smile and said coquettishly.

At this time, Lin Daiyu's appearance was quite different from her usual appearance, but she no longer had her natural indifferent appearance, just because she wanted her father to leave with more peace of mind.

"Good! Good! As a father, I want to see Yu'er get married!" Lin Ruhai replied with a smile, although he and Lin Daiyu didn't really believe what he said, but it was a comfort to them.

Seeing this, Jia Lian and Jia Lang didn't have the nerve to say anything else, so they could only say awkwardly: "Don't worry, Uncle Lin, we are not in a hurry."

Jia Lian was a little guilty. Lin Ruhai knew exactly what the Jia family came for, and even he brought it up. Jia Lian couldn't help feeling sorry for it. Jia Lang also knew about Lin Ruhai and Jia's family. Although he had planned to save Lin Ruhai's life, it was inevitable that he would feel pity for him.

Afterwards, Jia Lang and Jia Lian also tactfully bid farewell to Lin Ruhai and withdrew.

In the days that followed, Jia Lian mingled with the aristocratic families in Yangzhou City, and he went to all the places in Yangzhou where he could play, especially the land of fireworks and willows.

Similarly, Jia Lang, since he came to Yangzhou, naturally he couldn't miss the scenic spots such as Yangzhou Slender West Lake and Daming Temple. Jia Lang visited Yangzhou with Jia Lian a few days ago, but later Jia Lian started to hang out with those aristocratic families. After the Fireworks and Willow Lane, Jia Lang dismissed him as the reason that he didn't like these scenes, and Jia Lian had invited Jia Lang to accompany him for such activities so far.

As time went by, Jia Lang visited all the places he should have visited, and began to stay in the Lin Mansion to study his homework. Jia Lian gradually took over the Lin Mansion's property under Lin Ruhai's instruction and with the cooperation of Steward Ma. , the servants of the Lin Mansion also began to dismiss one after another, leaving only a few servants to maintain the daily life of the Lin Mansion.

"You released all the spiritual water talismans I asked you to release!" Jia Lang looked sideways at Wang Zhu standing beside him, and said softly.

Wang Zhu bowed his head slightly, and said respectfully: "Third Master, the little ones are all released, and the five talismans were mixed in while the medicine was being boiled, and the little ones can swear that none of them are missing!"

Hearing Wang Zhu's trembling words, Jia Lang couldn't help thinking a little bit. Since he let go, why did Uncle Lin's health not improve? It was because Lin Daiyu, who was born with weak kidneys, passed through his spiritual water talisman several times, her body Although not completely improved, it is much better than before.

Moreover, Jia Lang just divided a piece of spiritual water talisman into three parts and mixed it into Lin Daiyu's porridge, while for Lin Ruhai, he used one spiritual water talisman every day. Based on his recent observations of Lin Ruhai, it was getting worse and worse. Not the slightest improvement.

Find an opportunity today to have close contact with Lin Ruhai. There must be something fishy about this matter!
······
At night, in Lin Ruhai's study.

Looking at Jia Lang in front of him, Lin Ruhai said to Lin Daiyu beside him: "Yu'er, you push it down first! I need to talk about something with your Third Brother Lang!"

Lin Daiyu, who had been with Lin Ruhai all the time, heard this, and looked at Jia Lang who was attacking with some resentment. Jia Lang didn't care about Lin Daiyu's eyes either. Now he is in a state where he spends more time in bed.

After Lin Daiyu retreated out of the study under Lin Ruhai's gaze, Lin Ruhai forced a smile on his face and said to Jia Lang, "Unexpectedly, Enhou's expectations of you are so high, you can be called a junior!"

"Believe me, I have read it. I can do what Enhou said. Anyway, the entire Lin Mansion has been entrusted to you, so I don't care about some human relations!"

Lin Ruhai finally said that sentence: "You can recognize me as a teacher!"

Hearing this, Jia Lang, who was just starting out, didn't feel much surprise. He guessed Jia Amnesty's little thought. He was going to take the imperial examination, and Lin Ruhai, who was dying of illness, only had this little thing to do. To Jialang, it is worthy of Jia Amnesty's plan.

Lin Ruhai asked Jia Lang with a pale face and a little certainty, since he thought that Jia Lang would not refuse since he came to Yangzhou.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Lin, I don't want to take advantage of others!"
