[Red Mansion] I want to be the chief assistant

The life in Zhuangzi is very leisurely. The place where Lin Yu entertained Lin Ruhai's family was his renovated courtyard based on the original one.

"It's different here than at home." Daiyu raised her head curiously and looked around. Whether it was a wooden corridor or a wooden sliding door with glass inlaid, she, a little girl who had never been out much, had never seen it before. passed.

Jia Min stroked her daughter's small head and said with a smile, "This is a Tang Dynasty building, which is quite different from the current one." I don't know what method Brother Yu used to keep the house warm.Such a house is indeed simple and beautiful, but it is a bit drafty.

Seeing Daiyu looking at her ignorantly, Jia Min simply put down the list in his hand and patiently told her about ancient times.

On the other side, Lin Ruhai and Lin Yu were also discussing the following matters.

"After sacrificing ancestors a year ago, why don't you go to Weiyang with me." After thinking about it, Lin Ruhai still said, "The next year's college entrance exam has already been selected. He is my same year. He wrote to me first and said that tomorrow In the next two years, the hospital examinations will be held in Yangzhou." Generally, the hospital examinations are held in the provincial capital, but there are not without special circumstances.As it is now, if Xuezheng goes to Weiyang, then it is not impossible for the college examination to be held in his place.

Lin Yu's original intention was to go directly to Jinling to take the provincial examination after finishing the college examination and waiting for another two years.But according to Lin Ruhai, if next year's Xuezheng goes to Weiyang, it doesn't matter if he starts a little earlier.

Moreover, having ready-made Tanhua teachings is better than him studying ethnology while thinking about it by himself, which saves trouble and effort.

Lin Ruhai had this idea after he got a new appointment. After all, Lin Yu was the only Tang clan close to him.In the past, he was in the capital, and the far water could not save the near fire.Now that his new position is so close, it is natural that he can help.Besides, Lin Yu is not some kind of fool who can't support the wall.He has good aptitude, and his character seems to be good at least for his own family. What is Lin Ruhai not satisfied with?

Seeing Lin Yu's straightforward agreement, Lin Ruhai was surprised and said, "I thought you might have other ideas." He gestured to the outside, and said with a smile, "This stall is not small." man of.In such a large Lin family, the man is the master outside and the woman is the house master. Apart from the wife's dowry, she is in charge of it herself. Lin Ruhai is the only man left outside, so why not let him take care of it?In the fifth service, there is not even a brother-in-law who can handle common affairs, which shows that the population of the Lin family is really pitifully small.

"No matter how big the stall is, someone will take care of it. Otherwise, wouldn't my nephew raise them for nothing?" Lin Yu didn't care, and said, "We will be on the road after that year?"

Hearing what Lin Yu said, Lin Ruhai didn't ask any more questions. If it was anyone else, he would have cared a little more, but with this cousin, he often felt that his worries were superfluous.

"The office opens on the fifth day of the lunar new year. I have just taken office, so I have to deal with it."

It's been a long time since Lin Ruhai has enjoyed the fact that someone can do everything, and he doesn't have to worry about the time at 01:30.As I said before, the Lin family is not prosperous, and most of them are alone. No matter how much the servants can do, they can't help the master make the decision. They have to come to ask a few times.But now, whenever a nephew does his best, Lin Ruhai is very comfortable standing on the bow of the boat in a sky-blue crane-patterned cloak with his hands in his sleeves.

However, thinking about Lin Yu who was doing the homework assigned by him in the cabin, he probably understood why he dared to throw away the household chores and went directly to Yangzhou with him.

"Sure enough, they all perform their own duties, and each gets what he deserves." After hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Jia Min couldn't help clapping his hands and praised, and then asked Qing Lan beside him, "When you were in the village, you often walked outside, how do you feel?"

"I can't take one more step." Qinglan shook her head, but she didn't mean to be restrained. Although she was a big maid, she was far from Lin Yu's Baishu. Although she looked at the dowry for Jia Min on weekdays thing, but that's all.She is a steady yet lively girl, but when the master is around, she always keeps her head down.It's not that Jia Min is harsh, nor is it that she has other thoughts in her heart.It is precisely because she has no thoughts that she has to show a little bit of taboo.

"In theory, it should be stricter." Jia Min is undoubtedly qualified as the mistress of the Lin family, but it is precisely because of this that she is not good at interfering in her natal family's affairs.According to her, since the elder sister-in-law left, the rules in the mansion have been the same for a day, which is really embarrassing, but it is hard for her to say anything because she is married and an aunt.

However, you can't control your natal family's affairs, but you can manage your own.

Lin Yu heard the rumors over there, put down the scroll and said with a smile, "For some trivial matters, just ask Bai Shu to go for a while." Then, he picked up the scroll again.Boring on the boat, Bai Shu was embroidering with a fan case, and after hearing this, she hurriedly followed Qing Lan to Jia Min's side.

She has been with her uncle for many years. She has watched Lin Yu grow up.

After Jia Min sent Bai Shu away with satisfaction, she turned to Lin Ruhai and said, "I see Brother Yu's side is a bit thinner, the older one is bigger, and the smaller one is too small." In the house, there is no one who is served by the big girl and the little girl, but there are only two of them around Brother Yu, which is really worrying.

"He has his own mind, so don't worry." Lin Ruhai shook his head, he was also from everyone's son, so he didn't know that there were indeed fewer people around Brother Yu.But he knew better than Jia Min, and he knew that those who could stay with Brother Yu were not just serving others, and they probably had other functions, but they didn't need to think about it.

As soon as Jia Min heard it, she said, "I still want to give Qinglan to him, that's all." Qinglan was taught by her alone, and she knows how to advance and retreat, and can take care of others, which is a rare thing in her eyes. A young man like Brother Yu is nothing.However, since my husband and son-in-law have said so, there is naturally a reason for him.

Going out this time, according to what Lin Yu and Lin Ruhai discussed, they had to stay in Yangzhou for a few years until the end of the provincial examination and rely on Juren.However, after Qiuwei is the Chunwei Examination, one has to go to Beijing to prepare non-stop. If one is lucky enough to pass, the palace examination generally does not recruit people, so naturally one has to stay in Beijing.

Lin Yu was ready for the next preparation after getting the background of the two Jinshi.

Therefore, this trip is counted in years, and everyone around Lin Yu was actually taken with him.Except for the old butler Lin who stayed in Lin's mansion, whether it was Baizhu, Ganoderma lucidum, Jingmo, or Zhang Zhong and half of Tiangan, these people followed in Mingli.

In the dark, another Chen Zi walked overland with two earthly branches.It can be said that in terms of the standard of guest residence, it cannot be matched with simplicity.

Don't you see, a daughter-in-law of a third-rank official went to Beijing with only a nanny and a little girl with her.Of course, it is because of Jia Min's death and the loss of the care of his biological mother, but it is more because of the current hospitality rules and poor traffic. One less person means less trouble.

Naturally, people like the Xue family who went to Beijing to live in relatives' homes naturally have other demands, so let's not mention them.

However, at this time, Lin Yu suddenly felt that there were fewer people with him.

Someone dared to drill into his cabin.

Now we have to talk about Lin Yu's current position. Lin Ruhai, as a member of the third rank, no matter how dangerous the environment behind his position, for the low-level officials who don't know the inside story, he is in charge of the salt administration. He is still a high official who can crush them to death with one finger.Therefore, the official ship that Lin Ruhai took was under the regulations of a genuine third-rank official.

Naturally, the people at the bottom had their residences in the cabin, and as a cousin, Lin Yu happened to live with Lin Ruhai on the first floor of the deck, only the one on the left occupied the honorable seat, and Lin Yu was on the other side.Further up is the residence of the female relatives.

Therefore, it is not surprising that someone can touch it directly, after all, his place is the most convenient.

This is the disadvantage of not being on your own territory, Lin Yu thought blankly, he got up, and quietly took down the sword hanging on the wall as a decoration.However, even he didn't expect that a child who appeared wetly in front of him was a child who was about his own age, and a child who was very good-looking and well-dressed.

This made him close his mouth that was about to shout.Of course he would not put himself in a dangerous situation, but he hoped that there would be fewer such visible troubles.

The kid on the opposite side was staring at him like a wolf cub, as if he was only waiting for Lin Yu to open his mouth before pounced on him and bit his neck off.

Desperate and harsh.

The flowing water under the boat was murmuring, and the cabin was silent. This was the first time in Lin Yu's life that he was directly touched in front of him.Although it seems that he just suffered an innocent disaster, it does not prevent Lin Yu from deciding to settle in Yangzhou and subtly build Lin Ruhai's residence to be equally impenetrable.

Surprise or something, this time is enough.

Lin Yu hung up the sword in his hand again under the eyes of the little brat on the opposite side.Like a signal of goodwill, the body of the child behind him was no longer so tense, and he said calmly: "You and I are about the same size, I can lend you clothes, and I can help you avoid trouble and heal your injuries. "

"What about the conditions?" The two of them, who were not like ordinary children, came and went back and forth, but they were more serious than adults.That's right, for Lin Yu, it may be just a matter of lifting a finger, but for another person, it is a matter of life and death.

"I'm not interested in who you are and why you are here, and don't ask whose ship it is and who I am." Lin Yu said calmly, "The ship will berth in Yangzhou, and I will send someone to see you off at that time Leave, before this, you stay here, you can't go anywhere, how about it?"

To be a deaf and blind while on this ship?But, so what, he nodded without hesitation: "Okay." It's better than losing his life.

As for his identity, he looked at the empty body and sneered.Even if he reported that his family was the prince's son of Xining County, no one would believe him.

Just like no one would believe that his father would be cold-blooded enough to send his followers to take his life.
