The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

Chapter 157 Refuge or Glorious Return?

It is said that after Lin Hai's brain crashed again, it restarted tenaciously!

With extremely tenacious nerves, he endured for a day, and finally in the evening, Lin Hai found an excuse and slipped away!

As soon as he got into his own carriage, Lin Hai threw a teacup in anger. Fortunately, it was in his own carriage, otherwise he would be accused of disrespect by others!

He really didn't expect that this loyal prince would be so shameless. Is that something a prince like him can say?He's mad at him!

Lin Hai returned to the Lin family angrily, but he didn't dare to tell Kong Jiayi about this matter, so he could only talk to Master Lin. That night, Lin Hai went to Master Lin to tell the story of today, when he heard Prince Loyalty molesting Lin Hai , Master Lin's face suddenly sank, and after hearing what happened, he said: "You can just study in the Imperial Academy with peace of mind, no matter what Prince Loyalty does, he is just a prince."

In this world, no old man would be in a good mood when he heard a man molesting his son.The same is true of Master Lin, because he is someone the Lin family can't afford to offend, so he buried his desire to play the other party to death, but he made up his mind in his heart not to let Lin Hai have any contact with Prince Zhongyi!

"But this is just a solution to the symptoms, not the root cause!" Lin Hai muttered.

"Oh!" Master Lin raised his eyebrows, "Do you have a good solution?"

Lin Hai said with some embarrassment: "My son thought, since I can't afford to be provoked, I can afford to hide! Didn't my father tell me to go to the south of the Yangtze River to worship my ancestors a while ago? Some time ago, I was delayed because of various things. Now, why not let my son go to the south of the Yangtze River to hide."

"Crack!" Master Lin slapped the table with a slap. "Nonsense, did you do something shameful? Go out and hide."

Seeing that Master Lin wasn't really angry anymore, Lin Hai quickly flattered him and said, "My child knows it's wrong! Father, don't be angry!"

After taking a sip of the tea brought by Lin Hai, Master Lin continued: "What you said is not unreasonable. Anyway, sooner or later, I will go to the south of the Yangtze River. It just so happens that the ice on the river channel has melted right now. The matter of "The Analects of Confucius" is also on the right track. After all, you were the first to bring up this matter, and it makes sense for you to go to the south of the Yangtze River to worship your ancestors."

"The son will go back and make preparations. In addition, he asked his father to take a leave of absence from the superior of the Hanlin Academy." Lin Hai knew that Prince Zhongyi would be crushed by Emperor Xuande in the end, so there was only one way to deal with this kind of thing at this time— -drag.

No matter what, Prince Loyalty is a prince, and Lin Hai cannot afford to offend him. If Lin Hai is alone, he would be barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, but behind Lin Hai are dozens of members of the Lin family.There are also in-laws, it is best not to offend such a high-ranking prince unless it is absolutely necessary.

Waiting until Prince Zhongyi was snapped by Emperor Xuande, Lin Hai was liberated!Although such an unambitious way.It really lost the face of countless time-traveling seniors and juniors.

But he is straight!

Whether he was being trained by others or he was training others, Lin Hai didn't dare to be interested.

In addition, this is the era of the supremacy of imperial power, and Lin Hai has not kicked out the idea of ​​Emperor Xuande doing it himself, so he can only use such a clumsy way!

After returning to the yard.Lin Hai told Kong Jiayi about going to Jiangnan. Kong Jiayi was a little unhappy at first. After all, they were newly married for less than a year, and it was the time when they were inseparable. Lin Hai wanted to go to Jiangnan at this time, and she was reluctant to part with Lin Hai.

But when Lin Hai said he would take her with him.Kong Jiayi couldn't believe that women could go out freely these days, especially daughter-in-law.Not to mention that it was only a few months before Lin Hai went to Jiangnan.Even if some officials have been released for three years, the wife may not be able to go with them.The reason is simple, to stay to do filial piety and serve mother-in-law.

Unexpectedly, Lin Hai would say that he would take her with him, so he couldn't help asking stupidly: "Mother, didn't she say anything? If you travel far away in the sea, I, as a wife, should serve my mother-in-law at home. Be filial."

Lin Hai shook Kong Jiayi's hand and said with a smile: "It's not that there are no servants in this house, so why do you need to take care of them hand in hand! Tell them to pack up quickly! We'll leave the day after tomorrow."

Lin Hai also thought for a long time before deciding to bring Kong Jiayi.For one thing, she was taken to the south of the Yangtze River, so she could not hear the gossip outside and think about it, which would affect the relationship between husband and wife. After all, Lin Hai didn't believe that what Prince Zhongyi did on Qinghu Lake today, will not be passed on.Secondly, when Lin Hai goes to Jiangnan, he will inevitably have to deal with everyone in the Lin family in Suzhou. To build a good relationship, it is not just about men!The women's communication in the inner court is also very important.

Therefore, Lin Hai thought over and over again and decided to bring Kong Jiayi with him. Anyway, he was going to go to the south of the Yangtze River by boat, and it didn't matter whether he took the female relatives with him or not!But soon Lin Hai will feel deeply proud of the decision he made.

After hearing Lin Hai's affirmative answer, Kong Jiayi joyfully led the maid to pack up her things!

Knowing that his son was going to go out, the Jiang family prepared Lin Hai with big bags and boxes. Lin Hai was almost crushed to death. It is right to go to worship the ancestors and bring something to the people in his hometown, but there is no need for such a big array. Battle!It's almost like moving.

After persuading the Jiang family well, it made sense!After she and Kong Jiayi reduced the gifts they brought to everyone in their hometown to three boxes, Lin Hai set off with Kong Jiayi!

During this period of time, the pier looked very bleak, and a few sedan chairs and cars in the distance gradually approached through the morning fog accompanied by the sound of horseshoes and yelling.All the workers on the shore waiting to move things stood up and looked at the pair.

When the sedan chair stopped, no one came down immediately. Instead, the two young masters immediately jumped down and directed the servants to carry things onto a boat.Then a lot of nuns and maids came down, waited for the things to be loaded, and the servants retreated to the side, and then stepped forward to open the sedan chair curtain and invited the people inside to come out.Kong Jiayi was surrounded by girls and women and boarded the boat on the diving board.

Lin Hai went up with Nongshu Shimo, and the cabin was warmed up, because the weather in March was still a bit cold, so the silver frost charcoal was still burning in the brazier, and there was still the fragrance of lilies.Seeing that the cabin is full of rosewood tables and chairs, the windows are covered with brand new screens, and there is no air leakage in any place.

Lin Hai entered the inner room, Kong Jiayi took off her outer clothes and was watching the maids decorate the inner cabin.Lin Hai asked what was missing, and looked at the time when the boat would leave.

Kong Jiayi shook his head to indicate that it was all right, Lin Hai looked at the time again and said, "It's time, just tell them to sail. Don't forget to write a letter to the government when you arrive in Yangzhou."

"Yes." A servant girl led the order and went out to send a message!

After waiting for the boat to sail, Lin Hai felt relieved when he saw that Kong Jiayi's expression was normal!Except for the cruise ships on the lake, Kong Jiayi had never been on a big boat like this before, and Lin Hai was afraid that she would get seasick.

In the modern age of motion sickness and seasickness, it's no big deal.But it was different in ancient times. Horse-drawn carriages and boats were basically the main means of transportation, and they usually sat for several days. For example, if they took a boat, it would take a month.Then motion sickness and seasickness is a big deal, anyone who has tossed like this for ten days, half a month or even a month, no matter how good his body is, he will suffer badly.

Seeing that Kong Jiayi was in good spirits, Lin Hai talked with Kong Jiayi in the cabin.

Because in the morning, I talked with Jiang for a long time, so on the first day, it was dark when I arrived in Zhuozhou, so I had to find a ferry here to stop the boat. It is not safe to sail at night!

Zhuozhou is only [-] miles away from the capital, and it is also a thousand-year-old city. Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty Liu Bei, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, the sixth ancestor of Zen Huineng, Lu Zhaolin, one of the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty, and Jia Dao, a bitter poet, all came from here.However, there are not many real monuments, so it is not worth staying and visiting.

When the boat passed Linqing the next day, Lin Hai deliberately asked them to stop the boat for a long time. Anyway, they were not in a hurry. At the Hanlin Academy, those old ladies were afraid that Lin Hai would find trouble again because of what happened a while ago, so they quickly Lin Hai generously gave Lin Hai a three-month vacation. With the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, it only takes more than ten days from the capital to Suzhou. They have plenty of time.

Linqing is located in the northwest of Shandong Province, facing Hebei across the Wei Canal, adjacent to Gaotang and Zhuoping Counties across the Majia River in the east, connected to Xiajin County in Dezhou in the north, and bordered on Liaocheng and Guan County in the south. An important gateway for Shanxi to go east and west, and Shanxi and Hebei to go east.Linqing canal and water transportation are also the most prosperous, while Linqing is famous for commercial transportation.It is one of the five major commercial ports in the north of the Yangtze River. It has the reputation of "prosperity overwhelms the two capitals" and "prosperous Jiaqi County". The Linqing customs tax alone ranks first among the eight major customs in the canal.

There are many merchants here, and the wealth is abnormal, and there are some things that you can't see even in the capital. Lin Hai saw that Kong Jiayi liked it, and bought her a lot of weird things.

When we arrived in Tongzhou, we changed to a big boat and went south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. This is the fastest route, and it is really not as hard as Lin Hai imagined!The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is smooth and stable. If you stay in the cabin, you just think you are swimming in the lake!

In addition, Lin Hai's grandfather Jiang's family, the three elders of Jiang's family used to run the water transport of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal for decades. Although they have been away for many years, they still have contacts. The brand of Lin's family was hit on this big ship, and it was smooth immediately. It was unhindered and very smooth, even the sailors along the road gave way wisely, and the itinerary was much smoother than ordinary people.

Therefore, this time saved a lot of time. Playing along the way, it turned out to be about the same time as ordinary people.

However, looking at the disciples of the Lin family who came to pick up the boat, Lin Hai really didn't intend to go to the south of the Yangtze River to take refuge at this time, but he seemed to have returned with honor.
