[Red House] But for the sake of the king

Daiyu was exhausted from the journey, and she talked to her father a few more words in the carriage, and when she got home, she didn't have time to take a closer look, so she was very sleepy.Seeing that she was covering her mouth and yawning continuously, Ruhai rushed her to rest.

Because she was at her own home, and she was indeed physically and mentally exhausted, Daiyu didn't refuse, and went back to her yard after asking for peace.Anyway, I have already arrived home, and there is still time to talk to my father later.After entering the boudoir, I took a quick scan, and it was as my father said, nothing changed.It was the picture of a lady on the wall, which her father taught her to copy together.It's been three years since she left, but she doesn't feel strange at all. Tears are shining in the corners of Daiyu's eyes, this is her home.

After entering the inner room, Daiyu's eyes lit up, the old huanghuali double bed was gone, and it was replaced by a more luxurious lobular red sandalwood bed, taking up more than half of the inner room.

Xueyan exclaimed from behind, she has never seen such a beautiful Babu bed for her age.But he didn't stop his hands, and went up to make the bed himself, and all the bedding was newly prepared.At the same time, he ordered the little maids behind him to bring hot water quickly.Miss is in a hurry to rest.

Zicuckoo stood aside in a daze, she couldn't get involved in the matters of the Lin family's maid, and she was really frightened by the scene here.Zijuan is the son of the Jia family, and he has been used to seeing the wealth of the Jia family since he was a child.Although it is not as low as some people's dog eyes, but in the bottom of my heart I feel that apart from the royal family, only the Jia family has such overwhelming wealth, and it is no worse than the palace.But now seeing the rules of Lin's mansion, and Miss Lin's boudoir, compared with Jia's mansion, Zijuan was a little at a loss for a while.

It's not to say how rich the Lin family is, but Zijuan has never seen such a thousand-worked bed. In the north, kang is often used, that is, in the ladies' boudoir, even if there is a bed, it is a simple canopy bed.At this moment, when the son first saw the bed, which took up almost half of the inner room, he felt that it was a treasure in the world.In fact, the raw materials of this bed are precious, labor-intensive and time-consuming, but it is not uncommon in wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xueyan took off the hairpin for Daiyu, loosened her hair, and took a towel to wipe her face.She hadn't done these things for a long time, and she had only served Zijuan in Jia's mansion, and never served her personally again.Fortunately, they are all from elementary school, so they are not yet hands-on.After finally seeing the young lady settled down, Xueyan pushed Zijuan, who was still in a daze, to frighten her.

Zijuan regained her senses in fright, opened her mouth and cursed, "You narrow hoof, what are you trying to do to me."

Xueyan immediately lowered her face, thinking that she was the master in the Lin family's territory.Afraid of disturbing the lady's rest, she took Zijuan outside.

In this room, Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian finished seeing each other, received the gift list and wrote a letter, and sent Jia Lian to rest.He naturally wanted to ask about his daughter's situation in Jia's residence, but Jia Lian was a man after all, so he didn't know much about the backyard.Furthermore, they are from Jia's family, so if they really have something to say, they always talk about their own good.Moreover, Lin Ruhai was very displeased by the faint boasting and arrogance leaked out of Jia Lian's speech.

Now the situation in the court is getting more and more treacherous. Although the four kings and eight princes were granted the title due to their merits when they were the Taizu, they are now the third generation of the head of the family, and most of them have empty names and no important official positions.Furthermore, if there is no accident, it will take two years at the earliest, and five years at the most. The superiors will definitely turn the court upside down. By then, I don't know how many people will be able to retreat unscathed.Especially for these few houses, although the outer shelf is not quite collapsed, the inner bag is fully up.If it is possible to establish a family, manage the family with poetry and etiquette, and the whole family is cautious in words and deeds, they will be richer and richer for several generations; It's not far away.

Sighing, Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and thought, after going by herself, the only thing Yu'er can rely on is Jia's mansion.If Jia's family still acts like this, they don't know if it will hurt Yu'er.But he has no other way, but fortunately, Yu'er is just a girl, and she is loved by the old lady.After a few years to find a suitable person to marry, it will be fine.

But on the second day, Lin Ruhai called Wang Momo and Xueyan to ask them carefully, and only then did he realize that he had underestimated the Jia family and really wronged Yu'er.

It's not that he's boasting, but it's not that he is the daughter of a merchant family like the Xue family, or those so-called princesses in the Jia mansion, who can compare to his Yu'er who is talented, intelligent, and beautiful?Besides, Yu'er still has his father as a second-rank official, how can he let him be so negligent.He was afraid that there would be too many people from the Lin family, and that his mother-in-law would not look good.He specially sent a boat of people to pick him up, can he get another boat to follow?Furthermore, Yu'er is still young, if there are too many people following her, she will appear frivolous.It's just a guest residence, not a family move, it's just eye-catching.

Thinking about it, he was negligent, and Yu'er was wronged.Fortunately, the mother-in-law really loves Yu'er, and she must be an old man one day, and Yu'er will be safe and sound.As for the servant who has a sharp eye but a low hand, he is a member of the Jia family anyway, so he doesn't care.If he had known this earlier, he would not have married Hongxiu and Luqi early.Now there is no one in this mansion for Yu'er to use.

For a moment, I thought of the house arranged by my mother-in-law for Yu'er. Although she was young at the time, there was a difference between men and women.It seems that there is an idea of ​​kissing and kissing.But let's not talk about the things that the former wife learned from family letters when she was alive, just because he still likes to hang out with girls at his current age, he is not a good man.Everyone's sons and brothers always have some bad habits, but he has never heard of a family whose children can catch a hairpin if they catch a week, let alone those shocking words.

But thinking about it again, Ruhai worried about Daiyu's temper.Because she was brought up as a man since she was a child, and he was the one who enlightened her personally, Daiyu unconsciously carried the arrogance of a scholar.How could those blind servants know the difference between a lady from a scholarly family and a lady from a merchant family, they just blindly recognize the word "li".However, Miss Xue's family is only three years older than Yu'er, and she can win the hearts of everyone in Jia's family. Apart from having her mother and elder brother as support, and being the niece and daughter of the second wife who is in charge of the family, she must be an outstanding person.At least in this mundane matter of dealing with people, he must be much more active than Yu'er.

Ruhai thought, if he can escape this catastrophe, with his father's protection, there is nothing to worry about with Yu'er's temper.But if she doesn't have the Lin family to rely on, she will become an orphan.It's really hard to say if you have such a temperament, don't love vulgar things, and admire yourself alone.He really didn't expect that such an outstanding person like Jia, who is even better at house affairs, how could he teach his daughter to be like this?

Sighing several times, Ru Hai always thought that if he hadn't sent his daughter to Beijing back then, naturally there would be no such dirty things to bother her daughter, and it's not a bad idea for their father and daughter to depend on each other for life.But it's too late to say anything now, Ru Hai must think of some countermeasures, hoping that Daiyu will suffer less in the future and at least keep her life safe.

Lin Ruhai was already ill, and it was not an ordinary illness, but poisoned.In the past few days when my daughter returned home, she was overjoyed and had a lot of worries. She looked around all day, and with the official duties in the yamen, her body couldn't take it after several trips, and she lay on the bed for two days before she was able to go to the ground again.

Naturally, Daiyu was ill every day, and her clothes were not taken off her belt. If it wasn't for the persuasion of Housekeeper Lin and Nanny Wang, her old illness would almost relapse.It's just that seeing his father no longer looks the same as before, it's rather haggard, and he feels uncomfortable, and every time he returns to the room, he weeps alone.

It was rare for Jia Lian to live in Lin's house in order to seek advice for a better life, and he didn't go out for a few days.As soon as I heard that my uncle's condition worsened, I came to say hello every day.

Seeing his sincerity, Ruhai felt a little powerless, but he still said a few words.It's just that how much he can comprehend depends on his own aptitude.He didn't say much, and after saying a few words like the sea, he was panting badly.

Jia Lian didn't dare to burden his uncle like this, so he didn't bother him much every day except to say hello, and just hid in the yard arranged for him to pass the time.For three or two days, he can survive it, but if it lasts for a long time, how can he bear it.Finally, at night on this day, he quietly took Xing'er and Wang'er out through the corner gate and went to the most prosperous area in Yangzhou.

Ru Hai seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and asked Lin Sheng to order the guards below to remember to keep the door open, and he didn't mention the rest.

Jia Lian was also reasonable, he didn't stay outside overnight, and he came back early.After rewarding the gatekeeper with a few taels of silver, Jia Lian went back to the yard, washed up and fell asleep.

At noon the next day, Lin Sheng brought two outstanding girls to Jia Lian's place, saying that the second master Lian had worked hard all the way, and he only brought a few servants with him, so it was inevitable that his service was not meticulous enough.These two maids were innocent and quick-witted, so they were ordered by Lian Erye.

Why Jia Lian didn't know the meaning of it, he guessed that his uncle also knew what happened last night.But this is also human nature, my uncle still thought about preparing two handsome girls for him, and he never blamed him.It's just that he is a guest living here after all, and he is also a junior, after all, he was a little embarrassed, so he said this tactfully when he said hello.

Lin Ruhai nodded in satisfaction, and said, "You are a young man, and you are away from home. You should have one or two decent people around you. It's just that you don't need to be at home when you are outside. You should put your heart into everything, and don't lose your heart." The same is true for other things." This is also what I heard that the Jia family's nephews are mostly playboys, drinking and having fun every day, even gathering to gamble and whore, doing everything, so Ru Hai wanted to make a point.

Jia Lian was a little embarrassed, and Nuonuo agreed.To say that these things are very common in people like them, if there is anyone who can't drink and have fun, they will be ridiculed.It's just that in front of Uncle Lin, he was somewhat reserved.This person was born in a serious imperial examination and was in a high position. My second uncle was always praised for his grandfather's legacy, but he couldn't compare with Uncle Lin.
