Practical Life in the Red Mansion

In the evening, Jia Min told Lin Hai about Jia's mother's words, and said worriedly: "I always feel uneasy, I don't know what mother means." Lin Hai comforted: "Mother-in-law is getting old, so she should talk more about her grandchildren. "That being said, Lin Hai thought more about it.

Back then, Lin Yang told him that the emperor would wait for him to come back from Fujian before moving on to the Jia family. His mother-in-law, who came to Chengjing, probably sensed something was wrong, so he carefully arranged the funeral.Jia's mother is old, if something happens to the Jia family, she probably won't be able to survive. As a daughter, Jia Min must be filial, so Daiyu's marriage will definitely be delayed, even if it is not delayed, something will happen The uncle's family is not a good thing either, it just adds to the bad luck, and Daiyu has to be married off before something happens to Jia's family.

Thinking of this, Lin Hai complained even more about the Jia family. The things the Jia family did could not be hidden from him. What happened was just self-inflicted and deserved, but it could involve his wife and daughter. Lin Hai wished that Jia Min was not Jia's daughter is fine.Lin Hai thinks about it, and thinks that tomorrow he will discuss with Yang Xi about the wedding date of Mu Zheng and Daiyu.

Yang Xi was a little surprised when he saw Lin Hai, but he felt it was expected, he said: "Ah Zheng is going out on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, and it will take more than ten days to arrive in the capital. I am preparing for the betrothal gift, so I can only wait until the end of March. Sixth is a good day. Then you have to wait until April to get married."

Lin Hai sighed, it would have to wait until April at the earliest, and now he can only hope that the emperor will take action later so that Mother Jia can last for a while longer.

Lin Yang on the way didn't know that his younger sister would not stay at home for long. If he knew, he would beat Mu Zheng first before returning to the capital. Now he is only on his way home and has been away from home for three years. , he returned home like an arrow.Hurry up and hurry up, and arrive in the capital in mid-September.

It's a pity that he couldn't go home before that, and he had to see the emperor to report on his duties first. Lin Yang sent his servants to send his luggage and earthenware back to Lin's house, and waited for the emperor to pass Zhao.Everyone knew that the emperor favored him, and no one dared to stop him, so his book was successfully presented to the emperor's desk.The emperor raised his eyebrows and said: "He came quickly, Dai Quan, Xuan Linyang entered the palace."

Lin Yang's things over there have been delivered to Lin's house. Jia Min couldn't sit still and wished he could go to the post station. After picking up Lin Yang back, he asked Lin Yang's servants about Lin Yang's situation over and over again, and sent his servants to return to the palace gate. There is a station guarding.And Lin Yang happened to be summoned, and happened to be staggered with the people sent by Jia Min.

Jia Min and the others knew that Lin Yang had entered the conjugation, and they were even more restless. They went to Lin Yang and Gu Jing's yard to check, then went to the kitchen to see if the food was ready, and told Zhang Zhu and Lin Ning Seeing Lin Yang, he wanted to call his father, and asked someone to take out the new clothes sewn for Lin Yang, and he didn't even eat well.

Over there, Lin Yang has entered the palace smoothly, and Dai Quan has already been waiting at the gate of the palace. Seeing Lin Yang, he was surprised at first, and then smiled and said: "Master Xiaolin has finally returned, and the emperor is already waiting in the imperial study." It's your turn, my lord."

Lin Yang handed over a purse and said with a smile: "Thank you for the reminder, I haven't seen you in a few years, and Nei Xiang is still shrewd and capable." Dai Quan took the purse with a smile and said: "It's just a blessing from the emperor, who is lucky That's all, but you, Mr. Xiaolin, haven't seen a lot of relief in a few years." Lin Yang replied: "There is a big difference in diet between the north and the south, and it is only when you eat less that the relief is relieved."

Not only was Dai Quan surprised when he saw Lin Yang, but the emperor was also surprised. Although he became a little thinner and darker, the biggest change was Lin Yang's temperament. Before, Lin Yang was as gentle as jade, and his smile was as warm as a spring breeze. Like an unsheathed sword, it is sharp and sharp, even with a smile on the corner of the mouth, but people dare not underestimate it.

Lin Yang touched his face and said: "I think I'm fine, I don't think I've lost much weight." The emperor hummed and said: "I don't think so, but others are surprised. Take care of yourself when you come back." With such a skinny appearance, I thought you had suffered so much and suffered so much."

Lin Yang complained in his heart that he did not go to Fujian to suffer, and he did not enjoy any blessings, but on the surface he told the things of the past few years respectfully. These Lin Yang's notes have already been detailed, and now the emperor is just asking. A few unclear places, the emperor sighed: "Thank you for your hard work." Lin Yang's handling was very appropriate, and he deeply felt that it would not be so smooth if it was another person.

Lin Yang replied respectfully: "Eating the king's salary, taking care of the king's worries, the humble minister is just doing his duty as a courtier." The emperor chuckled: "I have also learned to be afraid of flattery, let's talk, come back this time, Want to stay there?" Lin Yang replied: "But it's up to His Majesty to decide." The emperor said: "You are now the fourth rank, and it's time to be promoted, but there is no need to worry about it. You should go home and cultivate for a few days." Lin Yang hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

The emperor said again: "Your father handed in the letter of resignation." There was a trace of hesitation in the words, and Lin Yang knew Lin Hai's thoughts a long time ago, so he said: "Father's health has been deteriorating these years, and it is really powerless to share the worries and problems of your majesty. , and I am afraid that I will disappoint Your Majesty's kindness, so I want to become an official." The emperor chuckled lightly and did not speak.

Lin Yang breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the emperor's expression, he probably agreed.On the one hand, Lin Hai became an official to make way for Lin Yang, and on the other hand, it was because Daiyu's marriage was too eye-catching, especially the civil and military marriage was too ostentatious. In order not to make the emperor jealous, he had to step back.

The emperor talked with Lin Yang about the local conditions and customs in Fujian. Lin Yang had already rushed back to the Lin family with a heart, but he was facing the Holy One, so he couldn't show his impatience.Standing beside him, Situ Yuan knew Lin Yang's thoughts clearly. He said with a chuckle, "Father, Chunxi has been away from Beijing for three years and traveled thousands of miles. He finally came back. He needs to be recuperated first." Yes, otherwise people will say that the father is treating his subjects harshly. Besides, he entered the palace early in the morning. I am afraid that he has not had a good rest. Why should the father let him go back first, and then invite him to the palace to speak again after he recovers? .”

Lin Yang cast a grateful look at Situ Yuan when he heard the words, how could the emperor not see the little moves of the two of them, so he let Lin Yang go back in a funny way.

Lin Yang went out of the palace gate and thought the carriage was too slow, so he rode his horse and hurried home with a whip, and arrived home before the boy who delivered the message. After getting off the horse, he walked quickly to the inner courtyard. Lin Yang hurriedly greeted him and saluted him, but Lin Yang ignored him and just walked forward wholeheartedly.

As soon as he walked to the gate of Jia Min's courtyard, he saw Jia Min leading Gu Jing, Dai Yu and others to welcome him out. Lin Yang's eyes were slightly hot, and he ran a few steps quickly, took Jia Min's hand and knelt down on Jia Min's hand. In front of him, he called out "Mother." But he couldn't say anything else.Jia Minsi held his hand, and big tears rolled out, dripping on Lin Yang's hand, burning Lin Yang's heart.

He suffered hardships in Fujian, Jia Min was frightened in the capital, and his life was not much better than him. "The son is not filial, and the mother is worried." Jia Min shook her head with tears and said: "It's good that you will come, and it's good to be safe." Seeing the mother and son weeping with joy, Daiyu stepped forward and said, "Mother, it's cold on the ground, I'd better let my brother get up, let's talk in the room, let him cultivate himself, I see that he has lost a lot of weight..."

Daiyu just said a few words, the tears just stopped rolling down again, she hurriedly took out the handkerchief, Lin Yang turned his eyes to Daiyu, seeing her for a few years, she has become a maiden girl, Lin Yang said to her Shang Daiyu gave her a comforting smile with his eyes, but Daiyu turned her face away.

Only then did Jia Min come to his senses, and his tone was rather annoyed: "You child, why, hurry up, get up." Jia Min couldn't bear to blame Lin Yang, and hurriedly motioned Gu Jing to help Lin Yang up, Lin Yang got up and patted Patting Gu Jing's hand, Gu Jing said in a low voice, "Uncle finally came back safely."

After entering the room, after Lin Yang kowtowed to Jia Min a few times, Jia Min immediately helped him up and said, "My family, why are you so polite? Let's see your daughter first." Gu Jing hurriedly led the two A child stepped forward, although Zhang Zhu had no impression of Lin Yang, but she was old, and these days she was reminded that her father would come back, so she didn't resist Lin Yang, and called out "Father" obediently.

Lin Ning was young, and it was the first time he saw Lin Yang since he was born. He just lowered his head and hid behind Zhangzhu. Father." Only then did Lin Ning raise his head, tilted his head to look at Lin Yang, Lin Yang looked at his eyes that were the same as his own, and couldn't help but stepped forward to embrace him and Zhang Zhu into his arms.

Over and over again, Jia Min was distressed that the two children were not close to Lin Yang, and complained that Lin Yang had been away for so many years, "It made you so cruel." He persuaded: "The blood is connected, and I got close to you in a few days."

Lin Yang got close to the two children, and said to Zhang Zhu standing on one side: "It's hard for you to take care of the housework and take care of the children." Gu Jing replied: "It's all my job." Lin Yang came again Going to Daiyu's side, he said, "Yanyan has grown up too." Daiyu hummed with red eyes.

Jia Min said on the side: "Your father is also true. He knew you were coming back, so he went to the Yamen." Speaking of Lin Yun, he said: "I didn't expect you to come back so early. I sent someone to pick him up. It is estimated that in the afternoon It's here." Jia Min looked at Lin Yang carefully and said distressedly: "I've lost so much weight." Urging Lin Yang to go back to rest, "I entered the palace early in the morning, you should go back and wash up soon, and eat something. Things, take a good rest and come over to talk."

As soon as Jia Min spoke, the servants of the Lin family got busy, Lin Yang smiled and said, "I've been tossing like this since I came back." Jia Min gave him a look and said, "If you take good care of me, I won't bother to take care of you. "After speaking, he urged Lin Yang and Gu Jing to go back.

Lin Yang returned to his room before letting out a long sigh of relief: "It's better for you." Gu Jing helped Lin Yang change his clothes and said, "Uncle now knows that the family is all right, and he will leave our mother and son behind cruelly. Is it?" Seeing Gu Jing crying again, Lin Yang hurriedly wiped her tears and said, "Don't cry, I won't leave you in the future."

Gu Jing snatched the handkerchief from Lin Yang's hand, and said: "Master, go and wash up, I'll go to the kitchen to see how the things are for the uncle." But Lin Yang said: "The kitchen is in a mess, let me go Just go, bring the child here." Gu Jing was stunned for a moment, and responded in a low voice.

After Lin Yang came back from washing, he saw Zhang Zhu and Lin Ning playing on the kang. He hurried forward and talked to the two children in a soft voice. Gu Jing looked outside the curtain for a while and saw the two children. The child was not so resistant to Lin Yang, so he felt relieved, and Madam Dong said, "Grandma, you can rest assured now, father and son are natures, Ning Ge'er will naturally get close to the uncle." Another happy face Said: "Uncle has made great achievements in Fu this time, and this level has to be raised again."

Gu Jing frowned and said, "It depends on the Holy Order, and you can say it." Dong Nanny's face immediately turned ugly, Gu Jing thought of Jia Min's beating, and remembered what Dong Nanny had done, and felt a little irritable Said calmly: "I'm thinking about the relationship with the mother, and I don't say much, but the mother should also know how to be a servant." She sighed and said: "The Lin family is different from the Gu family. If it is, you are afraid of me. I can't protect Nanny anymore." After finishing speaking, Gu Jing raised the curtain and went in without looking at her expression. "

After Lin Yang finished his meal, he said to Gu Jing, "Let the children rest first, and I'll go to my sister's yard." Gu Jing agreed, looking at Lin Yang's back with an indistinct expression.
