[Red House] But for the sake of the king

After being disturbed by Junyou in this way, both father and daughter lost interest.Finally, taking advantage of the serving time, Daiyu joked a few words before uncovering it.Thinking of last night, Daiyu vaguely heard the news from the capital, and asked again, "Daddy, did someone come from home last night?"

Lin Ruhai slapped his head, "Look at my memory, it was your grandmother who sent someone, saying that she had never received a letter, because she was worried, and let them come and see it to be at ease; secondly, she also asked us to pay homage to the ancestors on her behalf. Meaning. Yesterday I was afraid that you would take a rest so I didn’t tell you, so I’ll write a letter from home and have someone send it back when I get back today, lest your grandmother worry.”

Daiyu nodded, with a worried look on her face, "I don't know why, but it didn't arrive. This time, I have to be more careful and write down everything in front of it. But there is other news, Jane in the East Mansion My sister-in-law doesn't know what's wrong, I heard from her girls that she couldn't eat anymore, and when I asked her what was wrong, she didn't say anything."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Silly boy, your sister-in-law Zhen is happy, how can I tell you a girl like Jia Ming?" Seeing that Daiyu was also blushing, Lin Ruhai didn't mention it anymore, just asked her, "Every year? I've been to Jia's Mansion several times, but I haven't seen anyone you like, why do you care about her so much, it's like your own sister."

Daiyu replied, "There is nothing to look down on. If you really want to say it, there is no reason, it's just that you see each other. Sister Zhu and Sister Lian are also good, but one is too quiet and the other is too noisy. Heart-to-heart. The second sister is like a wooden figure. I saw that she was still controlled by the nanny, so she didn't have the money for a young lady. The third sister is very powerful, but it's a pity that she is also a concubine. Many things depend on the face of the second aunt Since the girl from the Xue family came, I see that she has left me and my second sister in the cold, and she has been dragged by that girl in many things. After all, she must be sister-in-law Zhen. She, even her grandmother loves her. Not to mention that she is graceful and delicate, like a fairy girl, she is rare and gentle and peaceful, but she can suppress those troublesome slaves. She manages the big Ningguo Mansion in an orderly manner. Grandma listened A few things, they all said that I should learn from her, although sister-in-law Lian is good at managing accounts, she is too strict in ordinary things, it is not a long-term solution, and she has a bad reputation for being a broken household."

After hearing these words, Lin Ruhai thought to herself, "I don't want Yu'er to see so clearly. It really is that she lost her teaching in her previous life. Now she has her mother to guide her. She really has a valley in her chest." My mother went to my grandparents' house to live under the fence, and Jia's house is such a land, even if I have these thoughts, I won't say it.Now, even with the teaching of the Tang family, and because of the Lin family's support, it is natural to ignore everyone and just say these comments casually.

Lin Ruhai thought of something again, and asked, "I heard you mentioned these, there is a girl from the Shi family and a girl from the Xue family, why don't you talk about them?"

Daiyu frowned, "I've been at odds with that Shi Xiangyun since I came here, and it's not like my father doesn't know about it, so why bother to mention her. Besides, that girl from the Xue family is just the niece of the second aunt, and she came from a merchant family. Sister Xue is already flattering her, and this is still for the sake of the second aunt. She is a shrewd person, but she loves to put on airs too much, and she has thought about every word and action, saying that she is like Miss Hou Men but No, people don't like it. It's just that I don't know why she is such a smart person, why she is always on good terms with Yun girl."

"Hey, Yu'er, it's too late. Is it possible that you have the same attitude in front of outsiders?" Lin Ruhai rarely sees Daiyu like this, and he is afraid that she will be like this when she is not at home. Wouldn't it be easy to offend people, "Whether you are What is your background, after all, you are a guest of your uncle's house, you must not lose your courtesy."

Daiyu didn't care, and said quite proudly, "Daddy is worrying too much. I'm not as brainless as Yun girl. It's fine to talk about it at home. How can I put it on the surface. Besides, that day's Grandma also knew about it, and she praised me. You see, when Sister Qin first came out, she ran on me everywhere, what can I say?"

Lin Ruhai laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I don't want Yu'er to be a bully."

Daiyu refused to accept it, and said, "Why do you bully the weak and fear the strong? I have never used the eldest lady's money to bully them. Grandma said that this is called knowing the current affairs. If I am really like this, I don't need outsiders to tell me. Grandma will be the first to teach me a lesson. Yes." She pursed her lips and said with a little worry, "Although I am impatient with these things, grandma said that people like us cannot avoid these things, and I must be allowed to come to the entertainment between the various families in the future. Daddy, Do you think Yu'er can really do well?"

When Lin Ruhai heard it, she was afraid that what she said just now would hurt her daughter, so she hurriedly said, "I will definitely do well, Yu'er is doing very well now, just now Daddy was just joking, don't take it to heart. Just don't make it too obvious, Otherwise, people will say that it is difficult for Miss Lin to make friends when she watches people order dishes. You are the only girl in our family, and there is no one to accompany you on weekdays. not lonely."

Daiyu smiled again, "Isn't there Fangfei and Piaoxu? Years ago, I heard that Lin Yu was going to bring his wife and daughter to the capital. Why didn't there be any news after that?"

This Lin Yu was a clansman who was helped by Lin Ruhai back then, and he was Daiyu's cousin.After Lin Ruhai re-subsidized the Lin family's family education, he was fortunate enough to study and read with his husband, but it was not a material for the champion examination, because he learned some skills and helped manage the Lin family's several shops in Yangzhou.A few years ago, Lin Ruhai heard that he was quite talented in business, and it happened that the big shopkeeper of a store in the capital resigned due to his old age, so he asked Lin Yu to come to Beijing to take over.Lin Yu originally thought that it would only take a year and a half to replace him, and when he had someone with rich experience, he could leave his post and return to his hometown, so he never brought his wife and daughter with him.I didn't know that it would take a few years to do it. Because of my homesickness, I thought about taking over my wife and children.

Lin Ruhai said, "I'm leaving in the beginning of spring. I thought I'd let him stay for a while since he hasn't been home for a long time. He also thought that he could take advantage of the season to collect some fresh things from the south and go back to sell them. They will be ready in about July." When you return to the capital, you will have a grandniece by then."

Daiyu suddenly thought that she would have a girl of the same age as her companion. How could she have thought about seniority? Now that she heard this, she was really frightened, "Why is there such a difference, Daddy, what about her?" What should I call me?"

"Hmm..." Lin Ruhai thought for a while before saying, "It should be my aunt?"

Daiyu didn't speak anymore, this seniority was raised too fast, she couldn't accept it for a while.If I remember correctly, my grandmother is Shi Xiangyun's aunt, this, this...

After coming out of Zuixian Tower, Daiyu was still depressed, Lin Ruhai wanted to tease her, thinking that there were several shops in Hangzhou, so he took her to a study.Speaking of this study, it was built when Mr. Tang was there, and later it was given to the only daughter as a dowry, and the name of this study is a study.Except for the unique name, there is nothing novel about it, except that occasionally there will be one or two foreign documents, but they are from the south.None of the visitors can speak foreign language, and most of them treat it as a rare thing and forget it.It's just that a few illustrations are very interesting, which are quite different from the Central Plains.

Daiyu, a little bookworm, really put aside everything when she saw the books, chose two of her own, took them to the room and sat down to read them.Lin Ruhai revealed his identity, looked at the study room, did not pick any books, only confessed to Daiyu, and went out to another shop on the east side.

Not long after, another young man entered the study, walked around with great interest, and picked out a book to sit down and read.This kind of study is divided into two parts, inside and outside. Books are placed outside, and seats and tea are prepared inside. Even those who don’t buy books can sit down and read slowly.The shopkeeper thought that the young master of the big boss's house should not be in the way, so he didn't stop him, and followed the guest in.

Dressed as a servant with red sleeves, he was fanning Daiyu, when he suddenly saw a young master coming in, he forgot that he was outside, hurriedly stood in front of Daiyu, and shouted, "Where did you come from, how dare you barge in. "

Shui Rong was frightened by her, and soon came back to his senses, "Brother, this study is not your home, why can't I enter?"

Daiyu hurriedly tugged at Hong Xiu's clothes, and said, "Young master, one of my servants is reckless, and his words offended you, please Haihan. Hong Xiu, you still haven't apologized to you."

Hongxiu also came to his senses, this is the study, not his own home, so he hurriedly bowed down to apologize, "The villain is confused, please forgive me if I offend you."

Shui Rong didn't bother to care about it, seeing that these two were much younger than him, and they were also masters and servants from a wealthy family, because he waved his hands and said, "No problem." After speaking, he sat down on the side and read a book by himself .

Although Daiyu was also walking around outside, she had never been "in the same room" with a strange man like this, and she felt a little uncomfortable at once, because she said, "I'm afraid Daddy has already finished his work, Hongxiu, go and tell the shopkeeper to put these two books away." Wrap it up and send it home, let's go find Daddy."

Listening to their talk, Shui Rong couldn't help but raised his head, only to see a fair and handsome side face, with a slight mellowness unique to teenagers, it was as beautiful as a woman's.Daiyu also seemed to feel his gaze and looked at him.The four eyes met, and they were all surprised by the appearance of the person in front of them.Shui Rong secretly said that he used to say that Jia's Baoyu was born more beautiful than a woman, but he didn't expect to meet this person today, his face is like a lotus, and he really has a natural beauty that can't be carved.Daiyu thought, her father and the emperor, as well as the two princes whom she met today, are all dragons and phoenixes among men, from appearance to temperament, they are all the best.I didn't expect that this young man would not give up much. Although he is not as good as his father, he is not a reckless person.It can be seen that the area of ​​Suzhou and Hangzhou is full of beauty and outstanding people, this statement is true.

Although she had a lot of thoughts in her heart, she only took one look and then turned her face away. Daiyu walked out a little shyly, and she should not come out in the future. If others knew about it, how could she have any face? live.Daiyu, who was ten years old, gradually began to think of a girl, and no longer just wanted to go outside to play like before.

Lin Ruhai was coming back to look for Daiyu at this time, with a flustered expression, "Yu'er, Daddy has something urgent to go to the palace to meet the saint, I ordered a sedan chair to take you back, let's go to West Lake another day."

Seeing his flustered expression, Daiyu knew that something serious had happened, because she said, "Don't worry, Daddy. Be careful if you don't go to West Lake. Xiner."

Lin Ruhai agreed one by one, and after sending her into the sedan chair, he rode his horse to the palace.

Inside the palace, Jun Qi was furious.One or two are not worrying, he just asked Lao Liu to read some scriptures for him, unexpectedly he ran away today and disappeared.For a while, I heard reports from my subordinates that the sixth son actually went to find Ruhai, and met him again in Zuixian Tower at noon.He planned for a long time, thinking that when he arrived in the south, he could let Ruhai accompany him to play around and visit privately in a micro-service, so he would be happy and at ease, but he didn't know that such a big mistake had happened, and it was difficult to even meet him.At this time, the sixth child came up to him, and he didn't know what he was looking for, so don't let him know.

Jun Qi, who lost his temper because he was alone in the palace, received news from the Northeast that Goryeo had annexed Silla and Baekje, and he didn't know what would happen next, so he ordered people to find the two princes and Lin Ruhai , This first summoned a few accompanying ministers to discuss the matter.

The guards looking for Lin Ruhai didn't know what was going on, they only said something big, the emperor rushed to summon all the adults, Lin Ruhai didn't know, so he just told what happened, and hurried to the palace rush.It happened that Jun You and Shui Jun came back outside the palace gate, and after asking each other, they found out that it was about Goryeo, and they felt relieved.As long as something didn't happen to that restless guy, Jun Qi, then everything could be resolved.

Lin Ruhai had already expected the Koryo incident. These three small countries were one country in the early years and originated from the same family. Although the Confucianism and Mencius they followed were passed down from the Central Plains, they have their own language and culture, and they are not very different in appearance. The difference is that everyday clothing is not the same.According to historical records, the three princes of Goryeo fought for the throne, and finally each occupied a corner, split into three small countries, and became a tripartite confrontation of Goryeo, Baekje, and Silla.The general trend of the world, the long-term unity must be divided, and the long-term division must be united, not to mention that these three kingdoms originated from the same clan, there will always be such a day.Just judging from the previous news, although Goryeo is the most powerful of the Three Kingdoms, it does not have the ability to swallow up the two countries at once. Now it seems that things will happen overnight, and there must be something strange in it.

After the discussion between the monarch and his ministers, Junqi ordered to dispatch 2 horses from the pass to reinforce the northeast frontier defense, and wait and see what happened.In addition, he ordered people to go to Tatar to inquire about the news.The crowd dispersed for a while, but Jun Qi found an excuse to keep Lin Ruhai behind.

After some deliberation, Jun Qi finally opened his mouth, "Tomorrow I have arranged a lake tour, do you want to bring Yu'er along?"

Lin Ruhai thought, if he wanted to swim in the lake, the people below would probably surround the entire West Lake, and ordinary cruise ships would definitely not be able to enter the water, so it would be better to get on a royal boat, fulfilling Yu'er's wish, and replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." , I will definitely bring my little girl here."

Hearing that his tone was still not good, Jun Qi tentatively said, "I thought that if I come to Hangzhou, I can't always hide in the palace and not go out. It's interesting to go out and have a look. It's just that there are less guides. I heard that you are a young man. I have been here before, how about you guide me?"

Lin Ruhai replied, "It's my honor to be able to serve the emperor like a dog and a horse."

Jun Qi made an inch of it, "Then why don't I live in your mansion today and go to the lake together tomorrow. It also saves you from going back and forth later, it's so cheap."

Lin Ruhai sneered, "The humble house is simple, I'm afraid it can't accommodate the emperor."

But Jun Qi came over suddenly and raised Ru Hai's chin, "Ru Hai, do you still remember what I told you before I went to the Northwest that year? I think I have forgotten it. You are careful, I always I can't guess what you are thinking, and you didn't tell me, how can I deal with it? In Jinling, it was my fault, and I told you, and those two people were dealt with. If you are still dissatisfied, just say Come out, don't always bury it in your heart, and make yourself sick."

Lin Ruhai looked into his eyes, his own face was reflected in them, and there was only his shadow in his eyes, and he said unconsciously, "I want you to treat me as I treat you, you can do it ?"
