The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

This day Liu Xianglian sailed back.Because it was the first time for the far escort, Jia Siqin led the children to the pier to meet them, and Jia Cong and Yao'er naturally followed.The boats on the vast water looked almost the same, and he didn’t know where to look. Jia Cong seemed to be waiting for the bus in his previous life when he was in college: I didn’t want to wait for one, and I didn’t want to wait for another one; Yao'er first shouted: "Second brother Liu is there!" Everyone hurriedly looked up, and a sailboat was gradually approaching the port. There was a man standing on the bow, wearing a purple cloak, with hands behind his back, and a majestic appearance. It was not Liu Xianglian. But which one?

Jia Cong rushed to the front and waved his paws: "Second Brother Liu! Look here, look here~~"

Liu Xianglian was also very happy to see him, but because of her reserved temper, she just nodded.

After a while, the boat docked, and Jia Cong happily rushed to the deck first: "Oh~~ What a big boat! So handsome Brother Liu!"

Liu Xianglian couldn't help laughing: "Slow down, don't fall."

Jia Cong started to work for a while, shaking his head with his small arms behind his back, and shouted a few words: "Take a boat and go up to Yuanxi, and Qi Wubang will knock you out. The boat is as big as it is, but it is submerged and stagnant."

Liu Xianglian hurriedly waved her hands: "Come on, come on, I have a headache if you say Shiyun in front of me." Because she called everyone to move things off the boat.Jia Cong hurriedly tugged at his sleeves and asked if he had bought anything fun, but Liu Xianglian only said no.How can Jia Cong believe it?All the way to the shore.

Suddenly I heard a voice next to me asking: "Aren't you still reading the Book of Songs? Can you sing the Songs of Chu?"

Jia Cong was taken aback.These two lines of Chu Ci were learned in high school in my previous life, and I only recited them because the Education Bureau required me to recite them, and now I remember a few lines, so I said casually: "Occasionally, I will remember it when I hear it, just a few lines. "

Turning his head to look, he saw an extremely refined old man standing beside him with a smile and beard, nodding his head and saying: "It's smart."

His brain turned very quickly, and he immediately understood who the old man was, and hurriedly puffed up his chest, but said in his mouth: "I am smart at first, but it's a pity that no one is perfect, and my temper is a little impatient." He will feel guilty if he doesn't practice well.

Liu Xianglian stroked his head in a funny way: "Forget it, Mo Riri talked about this, so you can stop practicing calligraphy after you tell the world about it?"

Jia Cong pouted and argued: "It's just that the progress is slower, it's much better than the old year..."

Liu Xianglian smiled at the old man and said, "Look, he is such a mischievous one."

Jia Cong made a face.

The old man asked, "Do you know who I am?"

Jia Cong thought that old men like to ask such questions, so he tilted his head and said, "I can probably guess. How do ordinary people know that I am still reading the Book of Songs? Except for Uncle Lin. Uncle Lin also wrote a letter saying that he would come to Beijing gone."

The old man nodded again and again: "Sure enough, he is extremely intelligent."

Jia Cong cheered and saluted him deeply: "Hello, Uncle Lin!"

Lin Haixiao helped him up, and looked at him carefully for a long time, seeing that he was chubby like a doll in New Year's pictures, wearing only a light yellow homely jacket, no gold or jade accessories, and only a plain purse hanging on his body, he couldn't help but nodded.

Jia Cong had something in his heart that he couldn't hide, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle Lin, there is a Mr. Zhang Youshi who is very good at medical science. He has been taking care of my father for a while. My father is now much stronger. Fortunately, he is still in the capital. You can also Let him have a look?"

Lin Hai was startled.In the past two years, he really felt that something was wrong with his body, because he was too busy with official duties to take care of recuperation, and Daiyu seemed to be doing well in Jia's mansion, so he became more and more free from worries and tried to repay the king's kindness.

A few days ago, I got a letter from Daiyu, detailing the "virtuous and virtuous" of this child in front of me. Daiyu thought "fortunately, I have a father, and I am very lucky to have a tactful daydream".Lin Hai sighed deeply that this son knew the world so well at such a young age, and suddenly realized it.No matter how the grandfather's family takes care of her, the only person her daughter can rely on in the future is herself, which was a big fallacy in the past.Immediately, I asked Gusu Sage to take a look at his pulse, and they all said that he was overworked and extremely tired, and ordered him to devote himself to taking care of it, otherwise his life would not be long.Because of thinking about it again and again, he wrote to the court to beg for bones.

Later, I received a letter from Daiyu, mentioning that the Xue family, a relative of the Rongguo Mansion, said that the daughter of Xue's family suffered a lot of mischief because of her father's death and her brother's mediocrity. People criticize him with gossip such as "relatives' house" and "eat plain rice".In fact, these words were said by Wang Xifeng with superficial sincerity, and she occasionally felt very emotional when she heard them, and begged her father to take care of his daughter for his daughter's safety.Lin Hai had another epiphany.Thinking that the Xue family was originally a very close relative of the Rongguo Mansion, and had a lot of wealth, it was so difficult to rely on their family; once I had a mistake, my daughter might not be as good as the daughter of the Xue family.

Not long after, he received the sage Kuaima envoy who came to refute his note and appease him again and again.I was busy with my official duties, and wrote a letter again stating that I was afraid of overwork and illness, please resign from the post of Yangzhou patrol salt censor.After waiting for a while, I finally hoped that the imperial documents would come and order him to go to Beijing to report on his duties.Lin Hai was overjoyed, so he packed up his boat and headed north.

All is well ahead.One day, while resting on a boat at a small port, someone suddenly came to report that there was a Liu escort from the Taiping Escort Bureau in Beijing asking for an interview, which was quite strange.

It turned out that Liu Xianglian was also mooring a boat here, wandering ashore, and occasionally saw his servant being coaxed into shopping, and she spoke out to preside over justice.The peddler was annoyed and wanted to throw his fist at him.How could he be Liu Xianglian's opponent, but he was kicked to the ground with just one move.The servant was very grateful and reported the name of the master's family.Liu Xianglian was quite familiar with the Jia family, and often heard that Jia Cong admired Uncle Lin's talent and knowledge, so he came here to see him regardless of presumptuousness.

Lin Hai hurriedly thanked him for his help, and saw that he was young and heroic, straightforward, and knowledgeable, and he liked him a lot.Since both of them were going to Beijing, they made an appointment to go together, and Lin Hai got a free bodyguard.Along the way, they met several groups of strong men, and Liu Xianglian and the bodyguards repelled them all.Liu Xianglian sighed: "There were never so many thieves when I sent the darts." Lin Hai secretly wondered, maybe they had their own ideas?More and more afraid to leave Liu Xianglian's side of the boat.

Fortunately, today he finally arrived in Beijing, and Lin Hai, who was bouncing on the bank just now, saw Jia Cong. It was exactly as Jia Cong thought at first, because he was taught by Daiyu, and he secretly regarded him as a reincarnated disciple.Seeing that he is smart and cute, I like him tightly.As soon as we met this time, he rashly mentioned "there is a gentleman who is very good at medical science", and he became more and more satisfied: "Yu'er has taught a good student who has a heart and kindness." It's just that his temper is a little dry.

Then he said, "Now I have to go to the palace to face the saint."

Jia Congqi said: "After months of tossing around on the boat, don't you want to find a place to rest first? There is no such desperate effort. Uncle, why don't you go to our house? Let you rest on my kang."

He was purely showing off. Lin Haiming knew it was a joke, and it was pleasing to his ears. He couldn't help laughing and said, "I have my own post house, so I don't need to work for you."

Jia Cong said "Hey", "Aren't you going to see Sister Lin?"

Lin Hai thought about the meeting, and said: "Go to the gentleman first, and then talk, this is also a rule."

Jia Cong muttered, "It's so rigid that you don't look at Sister Lin first." Liu Xianglian only criticized "nonsense".Everyone went outside together, before they got into the car, they suddenly saw an old servant in Tsing Yi flashing by the side of the road and saluted Lin Hai: "It's Master Lin from Gusu."

Lin Hai nodded: "Exactly."

The old servant said: "My lord is here to pick up Mr. Lin."

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly looked up, only to see someone lift the curtain in an ordinary blue carriage, and Situ Pan leaned out half of his body with a smile.

Jia Cong slipped away very fast, and leaned up to him with a "snag" and smiled at him facelessly: "Brother Xianwang!"

Situ Pan touched the top of his head with a smile: "It's grown taller!"

Jia Cong clenched his fists: "I'm practicing martial arts! It's getting better and better!"

Situ Pan praised: "It's very good." He added, "Just study and don't slack off."

Jia Cong nodded again and again: "Naturally! I want to test Tanhua!"

Lin Ruhai just came over at this moment, and asked with a smile, "Why isn't it the champion?"

Jia Cong said: "The champion is only talented. Tanhua must be handsome in addition to talent! Naturally, it is good to have both talent and appearance."

Situ Pan laughed, and said, "If you have time, go to my house and have fun."

Jia Cong was overjoyed: "Really? I will really go~~"

Situ Pan nodded, and invited Lin Haihai to drive away.Jia Si also led this group of people to celebrate the success of the Escort Bureau without mentioning it.

Lin Hai looked at Situ Pan and sighed, "Only you are the one who never grows old."

Situ Pan said inexplicably: "I am not old in the first place, and I am not your age, Mr. Lin."

Lin Hai smiled and said, "You still look like a young man." Yin asked directly, "What does a saint mean?"

Situ Pan dismissed it and said, "Please ask the imperial doctor to give you a detailed diagnosis, stay here hard."

Lin Hai smiled wryly and said, "Why don't I know my body? If I don't calm down and take care of it, it won't work even if gods and Buddhas give me panacea. If I don't keep a useful body, I will repay the king's favor in the future."

Situ Pan also smiled wryly: "There are no useful people."

Lin Hai wondered: "Will there be fewer people who work for the emperor? There is no shortage of talents in the world."

Situ Pan sighed: "My third brother, don't you know? Suspicion is extremely serious, and ordinary people use it normally; but your yamen, how could he dare to let anyone go casually? Although there are many talents in the world, he is not willing to believe many. "

Lin Hai shook his head again and again, opened his mouth to say something, but endured it again.After being quiet for a long time, he said: "Or find a young man who has a good reputation and come over. He will handle the work, and I will take care of it. I will rest when he is competent."

After hearing this, Situ Pan knew that he was really not in good health. After thinking for a while, he nodded: "Just tell him to try, and let the imperial doctor take a look first."

Lin Hai suddenly felt discouraged.After so many years of deliberation, it is actually a bargain to save his life.

After the two of them entered the palace, Lin Hai finished saluting, the sage helped him up with tears in his eyes, and sighed infinitely: "Ru Hai, you are getting old too."

Lin Hai also burst into tears: "The sage's temple hair is actually a little whiter."

Situ Pan shook his head and said, "I'm tired, why bother to let go and let go. If the third brother is still like this, sooner or later he will have the same body as Lord Lin."

The saint glanced at him.Situ Pan then spoke unabashedly of what the two of them had discussed in the car just now, and persuaded him: "No one is made of iron, how about finding someone young and strong to help Mr. Lin?"

The sage said, "All the imperial doctors are waiting outside. Please pass it in quickly."

Dai Quan hurriedly went out to pass on the message, Lin Hai knelt down and kowtowed for the grace of God.After a while, six or seven imperial physicians came in from outside, one by one asked Lin Haiwang about everything, after tossing for a long time, they all said the same thing in the end.If you become sick from overwork, you must take care of it, otherwise it will not be long.The sage was a little disappointed, waved them out, and sighed: "I have no idea. Now that the national treasury is empty, it makes people laugh, but it is relying on selling officials to maintain this court."

Lin Hai was shocked: "Why is this!"

The saint sneered and said, "How much of this world belongs to me."

Lin Hai has lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, so he knows exactly what the princes and dignitaries look like, but there is nothing he can do about it.In a moment of anger, he almost said something to die for the king.When he raised his head, he saw a purse that Daiyu brought along with the letter hanging on the lapel of his clothes—it was small and delicate, obviously it took a lot of work, Lin Hai loved it very much, and never left him every day—he thought of his daughter again, and finally hung his head down .After a while, he choked up and said: "I want to share the worries of the saint, but this body is not up to date."

The saint hurriedly said: "It's not that I haven't heard what the imperial doctor said, Ruhai will raise some, and I will count on you in the future." After thinking for a long time, he waved his hands and said, "You have been tired all the way, and you should rest. Let’s talk about business in the future.”

Lin Hai hurriedly said, "I have one more thing to do." Because he said that he encountered many bandits when he went to Beijing this time.

Situ Pan hurriedly asked, "Have you brought anything with you?"

Lin Hai shook his head: "It's just some official business," he said with a smile, "The most important things are in the mind of the humble minister."

The sage snorted, "I'm afraid it's because of what's on your mind." He also thought of something else, "Are you relatives with the Rongguo Mansion?"

Lin Haidao: "Yes. The old lady of the Jia family is my mother-in-law."

The sage nodded: "Since that's the case, in the future, go visit your relatives and say a word to Jia Amnesty."

Lin Hai is busy.

"Their family still owes the state treasury 80 taels of silver. If they don't pay it off, Jia Lian will work for that fifth-rank member, Wailang, until he dies—Jia Zheng may move."

Lin Haiyin received Daiyu's letter every month, so he knew that the two households of Yue's family were not compatible, and that Jia Lian's current official position was equal to Jia Zheng's.Hearing the words of the sage, I was sometimes funny and sometimes sad.How sad it is for the king of a country to instigate a dispute between his courtiers and his family to collect the debts they owe.
