Indulgence in the Red Chamber

When Yinzhen talked to Lin Ruhai about bringing Daiyu and Lin Ning back to Beijing, Lin Ruhai was also worrying about it.After Mrs. Jia's funeral was over, the old matriarch of the Rongguo Mansion asked people to write letters again and again, wanting to take his granddaughter to live there for a while, but Lin Ruhai couldn't get rid of it, but he was reluctant to let her daughter go to Beijing alone. Taking her and Lin Ning together, Lin Ruhai felt relieved.

For one thing, Lin Ning has nothing to say to Daiyu. In Lin Ruhai's words, his brother is nothing more than that.And Yinzhen's treatment of Lin Ning is another brotherhood.So Yinzhen can't be wrong with Daiyu.No matter what, having this elder brother take care of her is much better than Daiyu going to the unfamiliar Rong Mansion alone.Second, when Jin Gege, who is about to become the fourth Fujin, was overjoyed when she heard that Daiyu was going back to Beijing together, she would definitely not let her daughter be wronged.So Lin Ruhai ordered his family to pack their luggage, and also asked the housekeeper to prepare gifts for everyone in Jia's house.He even prepared a rich congratulatory gift for the big wedding of the fourth elder brother and Nala, and asked Daiyu a lot of words before Fang personally sent her, Lin Ning and others aboard.

Jia Lian was originally worried about Daiyu's entry to Beijing.Lin Ruhai didn't want to let him go. He couldn't do business for the old lady when he went back, so he would definitely be accused of being incompetent, but Lin Ruhai didn't let go, and he couldn't force his daughter to go to Beijing.Suddenly hearing that Lin Ruhai had agreed, he was very happy.Later, when I heard that he was going to Beijing with the fourth elder brother, I felt a little more scruples.But no matter what, he wanted to go with him, and he wrote a letter quietly to tell the family about the things here, so that the family could prepare early. The fourth elder brother brought Miss Lin to Beijing. General little things.

Because of the large number of people, three boats were divided, one for Daiyu and Jinyu each with their nanny, one for Yinzhen, Yinxiang, Lin Ning, and servants in their clothes, and the other for Jia Lian to take some Heavy luggage and family.At first Lin Ning gave way to Jia Lian and asked him to go on the same boat as him.But Jia Lian dared not keep saying.This is as it should be, although the Jia family is the upper three banners of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, they can still be regarded as the royal servants in coats. At this moment, Jia Lian dare not talk about cousins ​​with Daiyu in front of the fourth elder brother.I can't hold the airs of Master Biao either.

Along the way, Daiyu ate and slept every day. Every time the ship docked at the pier and wanted to go down to see the customs of other places, Lin Ning always had some words to dissuade Daiyu, no matter what, she would not allow Daiyu to disembark.In order to make Daiyu feel at ease, he himself did not get off the boat. Jia Lian and Yinzhen's servants disembarked to buy vegetables. Lin Ning would go to Daiyu's boat to chat and laugh with her, or watch Jinyu and Daiyu play chess, and occasionally Tell a few jokes, make a few people happy, and just get along.

Because Yinzhen was on official business, it was inconvenient to delay much along the way, so he traveled day and night, and it took seven or eight days to reach the pier in the capital.Daiyu looked out of the window, but saw dozens of family members standing on the pier waiting eagerly, and some servants walking around, and the idlers were not allowed to approach. Daiyu couldn't help asking, "Is there any other big person coming ashore today?"

"How can there be any big shots? Even if the news of the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother returning to the capital is sent back, the emperor will definitely not allow such publicity." Jin Yu also felt puzzled, but the nanny had already come in to invite the two to disembark, and it was too late After talking more, he took Daiyu's hand to get off the boat.

But Jia Lian went ashore first, and among the families on the shore, the head of the family rushed to greet Jia Lian, but Jia Lian scolded: "Stupid thing, the two masters are behind, why do you greet me first? There are no sedan chairs, carriages and horses. Are you ready?"

The leader was Lai Da. Hearing what Jia Lian said, he hurriedly bowed and replied, "All are ready, one for the two brothers, one for Jin Gege, who is the commander of the infantry, and one more. One is to pick up our cousin girl. There are also two small cars for the girl's nannies and luggage."

"Okay, come with me quickly." Jia Lian nodded, and took Lai Da to Yinzhen's boat to welcome Yinzhen to disembark. Zhou Rui's family had already brought a few capable women to pick up Daiyu.

Yinzhen had long seen the dozens of neat people waiting there, and he was feeling angry, but when he saw Jia Lian bringing the housekeeper to greet him, he said with a cold face: "The emperor has repeatedly told me that you and I will be together." The Thirteenth Master is going to the south of the Yangtze River on a business trip, and he must act in a low-key manner and not disturb the people. In the past few months, we have been running business affairs with trepidation all the time. Now it’s better, and you’ve just set foot on the land of the capital, and you’re going to do it for me! What a good idea! What! Who allows you to show off like this? Could it be that the thirteenth brother and I were reprimanded by the emperor, what good would it do for you? Or was someone instructing you to come and deliberately plaster our faces?"

Jia Lian was in a cold sweat from fright, and couldn't help crying secretly, deeply regretting that he shouldn't be smart, and thought about surprising the two elder brothers.This is a good time, flattering and slapping on the horse's hoof, not only did not get any benefits, but was kicked and kicked!

"What are you still doing stupidly? Why don't you tell them to break up?" Yinzhen snorted coldly, stepped off the boat, and called back: "Thirteen! What are you dawdling in there for?"

"Come on, come on, fourth brother, I'm coming." Yinxiang was playing chess with Lin Ning to bet on winning or losing. Just now, neither of them came out when they heard Yinzhen's call, and hurriedly pushed the chess pieces. Run out in a hurry.

"Ask someone to carry the luggage down and take it home. You and I will go to Changchun Garden to pass the sign first." Yinzhen looked at Lin Ning again, and said: "You send Jinyu back to Fei Yanggu's mansion first. Put it there first. But it’s all good to see her, she is still young, she is a child. You can take care of it, if there is a slight mistake, I will not be able to explain it to Mr. Lin later. She was only allowed to call her daughter because of me. came with us."

"Fourth Master, don't worry." Lin Ning nodded, seeing Jinyu holding Daiyu's hand and talking to a woman in a fine dress, he smiled at Jia Lian: "Second Master is so kind, Lin Ning accepts it. It’s just that we have to listen to Si elder brother’s orders, we’d better go to Master Fei Yanggu’s house first, and then send our girl to your house to pay respects to the old lady.”

"Mr. Ning said that my sister is the granddaughter of our old lady, and my aunt is our old lady's own daughter. Now that my aunt is gone, sister Lin is the heart of our old lady. What does the old lady hope for?" I am really looking forward to my sister's arrival, so how can I not go home? This is not justified, right?" Jia Lian spread his hands and looked at Lin Ning in embarrassment and said.

"Second master's words are reasonable, but the madam has just left, and the old lady will be sad when she sees the girl. Why don't you go to Mr. Fei Yanggu's house for a night now, so that the old lady's sadness can be relieved for a while, and Lin Ning I must escort the girl to the mansion, and greet the old lady. How about the second master?" Lin Ning knew that this was too obvious, no matter what, there was always a little affection in the family, if it was too unfeeling, It seems that the Lin family doesn't know how to behave.

"But this..." Jia Lian still refused.Lin Ning had already walked up to Daiyu, and said with a smile to Zhou Rui's family: "Madam, please go back to the old lady first, our girl is going to pay her respects to the old lady tomorrow, and now I will go there with Jingege House."

"What are you talking about? Who is this son? How can he make decisions for our cousin?" Zhou Rui's family looked at Lin Ning's strange face, feeling a little uncomfortable.Just now this Ge Ge has already said the whole story, and after all, Miss Lin is not allowed to enter the Rongguo Mansion.There are a lot of strange things these years. A daughter who just lost her mother is still in Rexiaoli.The commander of the infantry had a wedding at his house, and he didn't know how to avoid it, so Zhou Rui's companion laughed and said: "The old lady is talking about it every day at home. Now everyone is here, but she doesn't go home. The old lady will Thinking that these people don't know how to do things, they offended Ms. Lin. Who can stand up to such a big crime?"

"Don't be angry, this nanny. Since I've come to the capital, I'm going to kowtow in front of my grandmother. It's just that Gege and my sisters, mother's matter, and thanks to Gege's mediation, I'm too weak Very, if there is no Gege this time, where is my life? Let alone go to pay respects to the old lady. At this moment, I will accompany Gege to the mansion first, greet old Fujin, thank you, and then tomorrow Wouldn't it be more appropriate for my son to tidy up and kowtow to the old lady?" Daiyu leaned weakly on Jinyu's body and said seriously.

"Okay, okay. It is said that the old lady loves her granddaughter very much. How can she be willing to let her stand in this humid windy place? She is already weak, and the cold wind blows, how can it be good?" Lin Ning said Then, he turned his head and told Xue Yan, "You stupid thing, why don't you put a cloak on the girl?"

Xueyan hurriedly came forward and took a cloak for Daiyu to put on. Jia Lian also followed and winked at Zhou Rui's family.Zhou Rui's family stopped talking, Jinyu took Daiyu's hand, walked past a large group of servants sent by Rongguo Mansion, boarded a large carriage sent by the family, and headed for Fei Yanggu's mansion.
