My sister is Bai Suzhen

After eating and drinking at the Lin family's Zhuangzi for a day, the Taoist priest asked to see Lin Ruhai again.

Lin Ruhai came out this time to relax, and pushed aside all official and private matters, but the children still had to study every day, and while the children were studying, Lin Ruhai wandered out to meet the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist didn't mention those words about burning mercury to make alchemy. Instead, he told Lin Ruhai a lot of stories about predicting the future by looking at the lines of his face and palm.

Having said that, Lin Ruhai was a little curious, so he pointed to his face and asked, "Taoist priest, what kind of destiny is it?"

The old Taoist shook his head, "It's because I don't understand the fate of adults, so the poor Taoist stayed here for two more days."

Now Lin Ruhai became curious.

The old Taoist didn't go around in circles, he just told the truth, "My lord's face looks rich and long-lived, but it seems to be short-lived. As for the short-lived, there is no catastrophe in his life."

Speaking of which, he took a serious look at Lin Ruhai's face again, and pulled his hand over. He still shook his head after looking at it for a while. This time, he spoke with great uncertainty, "Perhaps it's the poor Taoist. If you are not skilled, your lord's fate will become more and more confusing."

Lin Ruhai didn't take it to heart, thinking that the matter of fate is already complicated and confusing.

Just tell the old Taoist priest, "I still have a few children, why don't you call them out, and the Taoist priest will also take a look at it."

The old Taoist was eager to find a few people to verify what he had learned, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

Lin Daiyu came with her elder brother and younger brother, and the two brothers went up to show the old Taoist priest, who praised and praised the luck of the two brothers.

"It's not that Pindao is flattering the adults here. Both sons are lucky. The eldest son will have a smooth sailing in the future. It's just that the young master is guarding against a disaster when he was young. As long as the disaster is over, the wife can live a long life to eighty. .”

Lin Ruhai hurriedly asked what kind of catastrophe it was, but the old Taoist stopped talking, shook his head and said he didn't know.

Looking at the girl again, the old Taoist felt more and more unusual, but he didn't say anything else in front of the children, he just praised and praised, saying that the child has a strong spirit and will learn well in the future , and said that this child has a delicate mind, so he should be more open-minded.

After the three children had left, Lin Ruhai, as an old official, knew that something was wrong with her daughter, so she hurriedly asked the old Taoist priest.

"It may be that poor students are really not good at learning arts. I don't think Ling'ai is a long-term fate. I just pinched my fingers and calculated. I just think she is a bit in the way with the north. Don't let her go to the north before getting married."

After these few words, Lin Ruhai felt like beating a drum in his heart, and after saying goodbye to the old Taoist in a daze, he went to talk to Jia Min.

When Jia Min first heard that his two sons had good fortunes and that he only needed to take care of the youngest son, he was overjoyed, and only praised Lin Ruhai for his superb skills.

I also heard that my daughter is not a person with a long life... Jia Min couldn't help it now, "How can the master believe what this mountain Taoist said, and it is not up to us to decide whether we can go back to the north. An imperial decree from the Nian Emperor called the Master back, or the Ministry of Officials conducted an assessment, and the capital had a gap for the Master to make up for, could it be that our whole family has left and left our daughter here?"

Lin Ruhai was really worried, afraid that what the old Taoist said was true, so he walked around thinking about it with his hands pinching his beard.

Jia Min felt dizzy seeing him walking up and down in front of her.

"When I say this, the master thinks about whether it makes sense, and it's fine to listen to what these monks and priests say. Don't take it to heart, it's not good to take it to heart."

Lin Ruhai nodded after listening, "Ma'am is right, we didn't believe in these ghosts and gods in the early years, but we didn't expect to gradually start to believe it.

It's true that you can't take these words to heart, but if you take them to heart, it's really easy to cause trouble.But although we don't believe it, others believe in it. What the Taoist priest said today is rotten in our hearts, so we must not spread it outside. "

Jia Min gave him a supercilious look, thinking, am I stupid?Which mother knows the fate of her own child to the world.

It's not that everyone is as confused as my brother and sister-in-law. Jia Min can't help but think back to when her mother's family brought things to her, she said something triumphantly.

It is said that Jia Zheng met a fortune-teller one day and invited him to his home.Mix up the birthdays of my daughter Jia Yuanchun and those maidservants and take them out for others to calculate.

The fortune teller directly pointed to Jia Yuanchun's birth date and said that he was a nobleman. This made the people in Rongguo Mansion very proud, and told everyone that our family was going to have a nobleman.

I don't know what to be proud of.

Thinking of this, Jia Min felt that it was best not to think about the mess of her natal family. If she thought about it too much, she would definitely drive herself to death, so she asked the maid to go to the kitchen and tell her that the master is back and let her start going here. Let's deliver food.

The couple and their children had just sat down and hadn't eaten yet. As soon as they picked up the chopsticks, they saw the servants from the city coming on fast horses.

The servant rushed in in a hurry, and said to the maids and women guarding the door, "Please come out quickly, there is an official document from the official department of the capital."

Lin Ruhai had heard it a long time ago, so he quickly dropped his chopsticks and said to Jia Min's mother and son, "You guys sit on the Zhuangzi first, and I'll go back to the city to have a look."

I took people back to the city on horseback, and in the middle of the night, Zhuangzi had already started to light up the lights, and the people in the city came again.

This time he came to find Jia Min.

The maids came in to spread the word, "Just now the master sent a steward over, saying that he received the official document, the Ministry of Rituals was vacant, and the Ministry of Officials recommended the master, the emperor has already approved it, and we are going back to the capital."

Jia Min quickly asked the maids to pack up and go back to the city early tomorrow morning.

The sojourner Taoist heard about it and came out to say goodbye to their mother and son.

Jia Min wanted to say a few polite words to the Taoist priest before taking the child away, but suddenly remembered the fate that the Taoist priest gave his daughter, so he couldn't help asking the Taoist priest.

"You said that my daughter has no choice but to go back to the capital with our husband and wife. How can we avert the catastrophe?"

"Pindao thought about it all night yesterday, but he can only let Hui Ai get married later."

Jia Min was a little worried, "What age do you think it will be later, sixteen or seventeen or ten? Or twenty or later?"

"Twenty or so, think twice about marriage."

Jia Min understood that her daughter's calamity lies in her marriage.Seeing the eldest son in a blink of an eye, I thought to myself, the younger one will only get married first, no matter who asks outside, they will say that the son's business is done first, and then consider this girl's.

Before leaving, tell the people in Zhuangzi, don't make things difficult for this old Taoist leader, if he wants to leave, he must give gold and silver coils and clothes.If he doesn't want to leave, let him live in Zhuangzi, and no one can drive him away. He also left some gold and silver specially for this old Taoist priest.

Then he left in a hurry with his children.

After returning home, Lin Ruhai thought for a while, and asked the eldest son to go back to the capital with the housekeeper.

Gusu still has some matters to hand over to the next officials. Let the eldest son and the housekeeper return to the capital as soon as possible. First, to see if the house needs repairs. Second, to say hello to relatives and friends, and I will return to the capital. Now that you are an official, you must tell your relatives and friends about it in the early stage.

Looking at his son, he is now more than ten years old, and he is considered a young boy. At this time, it is time to go out and run for the family.

"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Going out to learn more is worse than working behind closed doors. You are still young, so no matter what you encounter, you should ask the housekeeper for advice."

The eldest son of the Lin family is named Lin Yi, and the youngest son is Lin Xian.Before the eldest son left, Lin Ruhai led the two sons into the ancestral hall to meet the ancestors and ancestors, and recorded the names of the two sons and one daughter in the genealogy.

Only then did the eldest son go north with the housekeeper.

Rain or shine, it took about 40 days to finally reach the capital, and it took another half a day to get from the pier to Lin's house in the capital.

After returning to their mansion in the capital, the master and servants checked around, because there were a few rooms left here for servants to take care of, the yard was not dilapidated, but it was not popular.

The housekeeper also suggested to go outside to buy some flowers and plants to transplant in the yard, and then go to the warehouse to see what kind of fabrics are available to make some curtains and place them in the house. It looks new and fresh, and the mood is much more comfortable.

These are trivial matters. The servants who stayed here and the servants who were brought in later can do it properly. Another more important thing is to send posts to each house.

Lin Yi will inevitably go to various houses to visit, and he must pay special attention to which house he goes to first and then to which house, what to send, and when to send it, and he must not be sloppy.

Fortunately, the old butler was very proficient in doing these things, and Lin Ruhai also gave a list when he came, and he only needed to visit the people on the list.

So when the Lin family's post was sent to Rongguo Mansion, the old and young people in Rongguo Mansion knew that the aunt was going back to the capital to become an official.

The old lady didn't care so much, she asked people to pick up her grandson tomorrow, and complained in her mouth, this child didn't come to her first, but went back to their house first, this is her birth estrangement.

The masters and masters of the Rongguo Mansion were happy for the old lady's face for a while, and left the matter behind when they returned to their respective courtyards. Even if relatives came, they were just relatives and had nothing to do with them. As long as the big guys are there on the day you come, give some greeting gifts and receive some meeting gifts, that's all.

But Jia Baoyu didn't think so. Jia Baoyu happily went back to his room and directed the maid and nanny to take out the good things he had collected.

"Sister Lin is here. What about the set of agate bowls and dishes I collected a while ago? Take it out for Sister Lin. And where are the rouges I specially adjusted a while ago? Get them out quickly. Sister Lin will come when the time comes Yes, give it to Sister Lin as envoy..."

Before this person came, the little ancestor had already rummaged through boxes and cabinets at home, and the maids in Jia Baoyu's room were all suffocated.

They all hoped that an ugly girl would come, and it would be better for Baoyu to look down on her then.

The author has something to say: finish today, see you tomorrow.
