[Red Mansion] Master is always taken away

The seven big boats traveled very fast, all the way by water, day and night, and soon arrived at the boundary of Yangzhou. The other officials brought by the prince were arranged by the prince to go to the surrounding counties and towns to inspect the disaster relief situation. The prince himself went to follow Jia She and Dai Yu went to Lin's mansion together to visit Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai had long believed that the eldest uncle brought his daughter here, and he was thinking of Daiyu in his heart. He was looking forward to it day and night. Back to daughter.

It's just that Lin Ruhai didn't expect that the crown prince Tu Che would also settle down in Lin's mansion, and he even put on an appearance of being "very close" and "valuing him very much". The water is getting murkier.

Jia She stepped into Lin Ruhai's study with his hands behind his back. Lin Ruhai arranged for Prince Tu Che to rest in the best courtyard. He is now waiting for his elder brother Jia She to come over so he can ask what's going on.

Lin Ruhai hadn't had time to meet his girl yet, but when he met Jia She, he hurriedly ordered someone to serve the best Pu'er tea.

This Pu'er tea is cooked, so you don't have to worry about not being able to sleep well at night after drinking it, Jia She sighed and squinted at his sister-in-law.

Lin Ruhai calmed down, thinking that this big brother-in-law's skill in nourishing qi is better than before, as if he has been reborn, although there are still some "out of tune" movements occasionally, such as the raised Erlang's legs now.

Jia She was complacent, he had to take out his "pie" and stand in front of Lin Ruhai, otherwise he wouldn't be able to take anything out of his mouth.

Lin Ruhai couldn't bear to see Daiyu at this time, so naturally he had many important questions to ask Jia She, but Jia She's temperament was so "calm", he sneered at himself, now he may not be here soon, why bother? Still naively competing with the eldest brother.

"Brother, how have you been in recent years?"

Hearing this, Jia She raised his eyes to look at him, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "Thanks to the emperor's grace, I have lived a good life! I think you have heard that Rongguo Mansion is still Rongguo Mansion now, but General Jia has become a veritable Duke of Rongguo." .”

These words are quite profound.Lin Ruhai murmured, how Jia She became Duke Rong, outsiders don't know many details, they just talk about saving him, how to save him, who stabbed him... the most important thing is how his big brother-in-law became civil and military A character with both skills can still "martial arts surpass the world", can he be saved?

Various questions arose in his mind, Lin Ruhai opened his mouth to ask, but facing Jia She's smiling face, he paused, and changed his mouth to ask about Tu Che. "His Royal Highness, this time..."

"What's the prince thinking? I'm stupid, not as smart as my brother-in-law, you and your second brother, so why ask me." Jia She took a sip of tea and replied lightly.

Lin Ruhai smiled wryly, knowing that he and Jia Amnesty were not close in the past, but he didn't expect that he hadn't seen him for many years, this brother-in-law still seemed quite concerned.It's just that the person that brother-in-law and his wife described are too different, rumors have always been inaccurate, brother-in-law may have been holding back all the time, because his own eyesight is clumsy.

Lin Ruhai sighed, and said: "In the past, I was the one who neglected my elder brother. Now I am walking on thin ice, and my life is hanging by a thread... What will happen in the future... I will just be loyal to you and do my best." Lin Ruhai's face was bitter when he said this Mixed with sarcasm, Fu looked up at Jia She again and said: "It's okay for me to die, I'm afraid that the little girl under my stupid brother's knees will be alone in the world in the future. Thinking of this, I..." He burst into tears.

Jia She sneered, Lin Ruhai was able to bend and stretch, yes, he has been in the officialdom for so many years, if he had returned to his former arrogance, he probably wouldn't have endured for so many years, and actually served as the inspector of salt for three terms.

Ordinary people may not serve a full term, and they will have a good end.

Jia She took a closer look at Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai's haggard face was much different from the handsome gentleman he used to be.Jia Amnesty was not soft-hearted, he was never that kind of kind person, but he had already made up his mind that if Lin Ruhai could save him, he would save him, and Yu Rongguo Mansion would also help.

He didn't go around the bush, and directly pointed out: "The crown prince has long wanted to win over you, brother-in-law. There were many hints in the past that he wanted to start with me. Originally, the emperor planned to keep me in front of him, but the crown prince stepped in..."

Lin Ruhai listened solemnly, then got up and apologized to Jia She, "It was actually me who made my brother hurt."

Jia Shesheng accepted it, but he still paid attention to his demeanor, holding a fan in his hand to block it, let Lin Ruhai sit down again, and then he smiled "comfortably", "It's nothing, I'm like this Yushu is facing the wind, talented, well-educated, and worthy of the attention of the emperor and prince..."

He smiled at Lin Ruhai, with a kind of reserve in his smile, Lin Ruhai looked at Jia She, and was suddenly speechless.

Big brother, this is... this is a boast... there is no limit.Lin Ruhai thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "Why did you hide your talent before, brother-in-law? In comparison, my sister-in-law is not as good as my brother."

Not mentioning the number one scholar in martial arts, Lin Ruhai was still skeptical about Jia She being admitted to the number one scholar in literature, but he couldn't ask clearly.

Faced with Lin Ruhai's insinuations, Jia She seemed to be ignorant, his face flickered, and he said sarcastically: "In the past, I wanted to be a nobleman in peace, and being a rich and idle person is not bad, but this person... Just don't be too 'low-key', otherwise not only will you have to live in the garden, but your relatives will look down on you, and even the slaves in the mansion may not know who is the master."

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai looked embarrassed. He was a smart man, and when he thought about Jia She's situation in Rongguo Mansion, he immediately understood that Jia She was referring to Jia Mu, Jia Zheng and Min'er.

Jia She rolled his eyes, and looked at Lin Ruhai, "If the Rongguo Mansion doesn't move, I'm afraid Lian'er may not be able to inherit the original hereditary title of general, and the situation is no better than yours."

He knew that the present self was almost completely different from the playful self in the past.

But the elder feels that he has been wronged, he is still him, but he has more skills.But in this world, there are too many ordinary people and mediocre people. If he tells about the strange things that happened to him, needless to say anything else, even the old lady and second brother in the family, I am afraid that they can ask someone to exterminate this monster like himself.

Wasn't that Ma Daopo from last time?

Jia Amnesty had no choice but to cover up his "abnormality" from the aspect of "hidden clumsiness". Besides, he is not in tune.Jia She smiled, thinking in his heart, what to do in the future, the old man just wants to live comfortably, if he lives his life in secret, it will not be very happy, life is boring, why bother?

Now he just wants to show off in front of the former Tanhualang happily, to make him look down on him, hmph.

Jia She played tricks and looked at his sister-in-law Lin Hai regretfully. "Brother-in-law, you are a smart person who did something foolish. A tree is beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy it! Do you understand this truth?"

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai felt regretful.His expression seemed to be lost, and after a while, his face turned gray.

He looked up at Jia Amnesty, in the past he actually looked down on this elder brother-in-law very much, and Min'er always said that his second-in-law Jia Zheng was a man of integrity, loyal to state affairs, honest and prudent.Regarding Jia Amnesty, although Jia Min didn't say it directly, she told him directly with the disdain on her face.What's more, after he got in touch with Jia She, and Jia She's other people's reputation, he was just a dandy, and his behavior was not good. I didn't expect that the elder brother painstakingly hid all this.

Lin Ruhai actually had a little respect for Jia She, it doesn't matter if he is talented, if his temper is a little out of order, it's not a big deal, just forbearance towards Jia She, the Rongguo Mansion will have three generations of wealth in the future.As for himself, he couldn't see through it. He should have retreated bravely long ago, and now he is deeply trapped in the quagmire of Jiangnan's salt administration, and he has also provoked His Royal Highness and the second prince behind Jinling Zhen's family...

"Brother, for Min'er's sake, if something happens to the foolish brother in the future, please take care of Yu'er." Lin Ruhai couldn't figure out his own way out, he would not let the prince and the second prince interfere in the salt administration Yes, but the gods fight, and the little ghost suffers. I'm afraid he won't be able to save his old life. I can only pity his Daiyu...

Jia Amnesty narrowed his eyes, looked at Lin Ruhai's expression, smiled for a while and said, "Isn't that the case?"

"To tell you the truth, brother-in-law, my body is already in ruins, so why should I be afraid of the demands of the two 'gentlemen'?" Lin Ruhai smiled miserably. He has been loyal to the emperor all his life. I admit it, my life is not long, so why bother to submit to the prince, if I fail, it will hurt Yu'er and Jia's family.

"...Your illness is not hopeless." Jia Amnesty's tone was light, and Lin Ruhai's fingers trembled in shock.

His lips moved. Although he didn't say a word, he looked at Jia She with eager eyes. There is no one who doesn't want to live for no reason, but after a while, he calmed down.He was sick to the bone, no matter how talented Jia Amnesty was, how could he still be proficient in medicine?

Jia Amnesty glanced at the sword hanging on the wall in Lin Ruhai's study, and couldn't help moving his right hand. Thinking of his own black sheath sword, he couldn't sit still.

"At noon tomorrow, you will wait for me in the bedroom." He stood up and said coldly.

After all, he didn't say anything else to Lin Ruhai anymore, and went back to the yard where he was resting.

Lin Ruhai shuddered, and called the boy to come over and get some more clothes. His body seemed to be getting worse, and the weather was getting warmer. At this moment, he actually felt chilly.

He couldn't help sighing, thinking about how to deal with the prince's solicitation in the future, and remembering that he didn't know what happened to Yu'er, he hurried to ask someone to call her over, but stopped him halfway.Yu'er was exhausted all the way, let's wait for her to sleep and see you the next day.

In the early morning of the second day, Jia Amnesty got up early, stood in a remote corner of Linfu Garden with the morning dew, and began to practice his sword.

As soon as the black scabbard sword came out, the cold light flickered. The more Jia She practiced, the smoother he was. His sword was very fast, and he didn't have any beautiful moves, but the people watching saw it and immediately thought that it was an extremely brilliant sword technique, a kind of murderous sword technique. !

"..." Tu Che was startled, the point of the sword was on fire at his neck and throat.

"In the future, when I practice swords, don't spy on me." Jia She's eyes fell on Tu Che and the others coldly.

"Big, bold!" The little eunuch next to Tu Che swallowed, but said bravely.The four guards behind the prince also held their sword hilts and were about to draw their swords, but Jia Amnesty's sword was too fast.

Without even looking at them, Jia Amnesty quickly put away the sword, put it into the scabbard, with no warmth on his face, and left without a body.

"Prince, this Rong Guogong is too presumptuous." The eunuch whispered, Tu Che snorted coldly, and kicked him as if to vent his anger. "Duke Rong is also what you can say?!"

Just now he almost thought that the point of the sword would really pierce his neck—touching his intact throat, Tu Che looked at Jia She's back and clenched his fists. It would be even better if Jia She was used by him.
