Accumulate Wealth in Life

Red House (37)

Lin Yutong didn't pay attention to the Jia family's affairs. Because according to the number of days, Lin Ruhai was about to return to the capital. According to Lin Yutong's thoughts, it's better to go to Jiangnan to become an official or something. It is the most appropriate to return to the capital early and get a leisurely errand. Now that he is from the first rank, he has stepped down from the real position, and he has to be promoted to another level. That's the real deal. Even if he has a fake job, it is noble and decent. Why not do it?

People, you have to know what is rapid retreat.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu eats less and less day by day, Lin Yutong feels that the two years of care have been in vain. Seeing that it was time to verify the results of her care, she was uncooperative. Don't make Lin Ruhai think that he has treated Sister Lin badly.

In any case, this has left Lin Yutong helpless.

She put all her energy on her brother and Wen Tianfang.

Every time Wen Tianfang thought of what a monk said, he couldn't help but feel lucky. This eldest girl from the Lin family is the same person as herself. This also explains why the Lin family is different from the previous life.

He couldn't help but feel a little fortunate. If he didn't have this person in this life, would he still be doomed to be lonely in this life? As long as he thought of this possibility, he became more attentive. Send some stuff over every now and then.

Lin Yutong didn't refuse, no matter what he sent, he accepted everything. Unmarried men and women are already at the limit. If they want to meet and talk about their ideals in life, that is nonsense.

When the weather warmed up and the room started to use ice, Lin Ruhai's boat was about to dock at the Tongzhou Wharf.

Lin Yuyang had been waiting at the dock two days earlier. Lin Yutong brought Lin Daiyu home and cleaned up Lin Ruhai's yard.

Lin Ruhai stood on the boat and looked in the direction of the capital, his eyes moistened. He turned his head and asked Butler Lin, "How far is it?"

"There's still half a day's journey. I'm afraid the young master is already at the dock." Butler Lin naturally knew the master's concern. Several young masters in the capital are the future of the Lin family.

"It's a hot day, I shouldn't have come to pick it up. Don't I still know the way home?" Lin Ruhai complained, but why wasn't he beautiful in his heart? The son is already a scholar at a young age, and he will be off the court after two years. I dare not say that it must be Duke Xie Yuan, but it is still not a problem to be a master. Every time my uncle writes letters, it is always a compliment. With Uncle's temperament, 80% of the compliments are true. How could this not make him secretly proud of himself. Successors are more satisfying than any achievement.

"Master cares about the little master, doesn't the little master care about you?" How could Steward Lin not know the thoughts of his master. Sure enough, as soon as those words came out, the corners of Lin Ruhai's mouth twitched up again.

"I just hope I can get rid of my errands and accompany the children in the capital." Lin Ruhai sighed: "Now the big girl is about to get married, and if she doesn't accompany her children, she should become someone else's."

"Horizontal is in the capital, and my uncle has no relatives. What half of your sons got is real. It just so happens that the young master is still the only seedling, and you are afraid that he will be lonely. How good it is now. It's only two streets away. It's convenient." Butler Lin comforted. Lin Ruhai felt better in his heart.

"In the end, it's the loss of the big girl." Lin Ruhai sighed. He knew everything about the three children. Therefore, I felt ashamed of this eldest daughter. Lin Ping and his sister-in-law will write a letter every month. He made this arrangement because he was afraid that a few children would not be able to cope. But I don't want to, the most difficult thing is Daiyu.

"If you give more dowries, you'll have everything." Butler Lin changed the subject with a smile and said, "If you can stay in the capital this time, everything will be easy to talk about."

"You're right." Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Just in time to inspect the eldest uncle and teach Brother Yang to study, I can't just rely on the big girl to worry about Daiyu."

"Who doesn't envy the master for having a good son-in-law in the whole capital, you are talking about the investigation right now." Butler Lin smiled and said, "It's our young master, when Mr. Zhang sent a letter, it was not exaggeration and exaggeration. , liked and liked again. But this time, the master only became humble. But the people who heard it only said that the master's mouth was not in his heart."

Lin Ruhai laughed loudly, very proud.

Lin Yuyang waited on the pier, but before Lin Ruhai, Wen Tianfang came first.

"Why is the uncle here?" Lin Yuyang greeted him and said politely, "This is to let my father know, and it should be said that the promotion of teachers has moved the crowd."

"It's a private matter, not a business one. Ying Yi welcomes my father-in-law, who can say anything wrong." Wen Tianfang waved his hand, and the two entered the inn by the pier together.

In the afternoon, I only borrowed the place from the inn, but used the meals brought by myself.

"This is too troublesome." Wen Tianfang looked at the food in front of him and knew that Lin Yutong did it again. Cooking on this hot day is not a comfortable thing.

"Sister is always worried that I won't be able to eat well outside." Lin Yuyang smiled sullenly.

Wen Tianfang didn't say a word, but said in his heart: When we get married in the future, we will hire more cooks at home, and we won't ask her to cook again.

After a simple lunch, someone came to report. It is said to be an official ship from a distance.

The two of them knew that the eight achievements were. Because in this inn today, I didn't see anyone from other officials and eunuchs. Most of them are merchant ships on foot.

When the ship was about to dock, Butler Lin left the cabin. Seeing standing from a distance, who else could it be if it wasn't his own young master. Look again, isn't Jing Haibo next to him?

So, he immediately reported to Lin Ruhai in the cabin with joy.

Lin Ruhai stood up and walked out of the cabin quickly. Looking at the shore, it's not Brother Yang.

Really grown up now. He looks like a big boy. Lin Ruhai said to Steward Lin, "Look at Brother Yang, have you grown taller? I must be taller."

"It's even worse than the master." Butler Lin said with a smile: "However, it's time to say kiss. In two years, the master will be able to get his grandson."

There are no words that can make Lin Ruhai happy more than these words. I used to be afraid that the Lin family would not inherit, but now that my son has grown up and my grandson is expected, of course I am happy.

As soon as the boat stopped, Lin Yuyang jumped onto the deck, "Father, I hope you came back." He smiled and took Lin Ruhai's hand, then looked up and down, and said, "Why is my father still so thin?"

"It's hard to buy old and thin with money. This is a blessing." Lin Ruhai also looked up and down at his son. Not only taller, but stronger. Normal calf.

"I've seen my father-in-law." Wen Tianfang was somewhat envious when he saw that the father and son had a blind date. Take advantage of the neutral position, and quickly find a sense of presence.

Lin Ruhai was satisfied that Wen Tianfang could take the initiative to come over. He nodded with a smile, and said, "Tianfang, it's a hot day for you to make a trip here."

"Father-in-law is polite, it's what the son-in-law should do." Wen Tianfang made a gesture of invitation and said, "It's too sunny outside, so I'll get off the boat and go to the inn to wash up."

Lin Ruhai nodded, and Lin Yuyang personally helped him before getting off the boat.

"I won't rest anymore." Lin Ruhai pointed to the carriageway: "Let's go home first, it is estimated that your sister and the others are in a hurry."

Naturally, Lin Yuyang had no problem, leaving Lin Ping to deal with the things he brought from Yangzhou, and the group returned to the house first.

Wen Tianfang sent the person to the door and said goodbye: "Father-in-law must be exhausted when he came home from a long distance, so my son-in-law will not disturb him. I will visit him another day."

Lin Ruhai nodded, "Come over another day and speak again."

Lin Yuyang then bowed and sent him away.

Lin Yutong and Lin Daiyu had already received the news and were waiting at the door of Ermen. Seeing Lin Yuyang supporting Lin Ruhai in, Lin Yutong laughed and Lin Daiyu cried.

"Father!" Lin Yutong smiled and greeted her, "Is it a good way to go?" She looked at Lin Ruhai, the middle-aged Uncle Mei was still Uncle Mei. Although she lost some weight, she was still in good spirits. He said, "I have beaten someone and hired an imperial physician, and I will call the imperial physician for a pulse diagnosis after a while."

Lin Ruhai looked at the two slender daughters, and his eyes were wet. Just nodded and said goodbye, nothing else to say.

Lin Daiyu tugged at Lin Ruhai's sleeve and softly called Daddy. Lin Ruhai was originally angry with Lin Daiyu, but she was so angry that she couldn't express her temper at all. He stretched out his hand to rub his daughter's head, but looking at the grown child, he stopped. Only smiled: "Now Yu'er has grown up too."

Lin Yutong arranged for Lin Ruhai to wash up before setting the meal.

The family is seated, and there is no rule of not eating or sleeping. Lin Yutong said first: "Father's return to Beijing this time, it's time to retreat bravely."''

"Why didn't you plan to do this for your father?" Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "But the last time you gave money to the emperor, it was a mistake. The emperor's grace must come from here."

Surprise flashed in Lin Yutong's eyes, it would be great if it could really be like this.

"The emperor is also a human being. He is short-handed and soft-hearted. Taking silver, it doesn't mean one or two, how is it possible. If Brother Yang didn't rank in the exam last time, the emperor would probably reward Brother Yang for being one of his origins. I didn't use it last time, but this time is just right." Lin Ruhai said, "Don't give credit to my father for the past two years, I've never committed any mistakes. I just retired and made room for others."

"What?" Lin Yuyang couldn't help but ask: "There are still people who can't catch up with such a terrible place."

"People live for money and birds die for food. There is no shortage of such people at any time." Lin Ruhai took the opportunity to teach Lin Yuyang: "Especially in the officialdom. There are two most important things in the officialdom, one is to control yourself. The most important thing is not to offend the villain. When you really get to the officialdom, you will know that this is the most disrespectful place. There are few people who give help in the snow, and more people who fall into trouble. The most important thing is the white-eyed wolf in the officialdom. "

Lin Yuyang nodded instructed and said, "Yes! Father. I remember it."

Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief, this was not something he could teach himself. With Lin Ruhai's experience in life and officialdom, Brother Yang will definitely be able to avoid many detours.

"That means, Daddy won't leave." Lin Daiyu asked involuntarily.

"Although I guessed like this in my heart, I still have to see what the emperor means after Tomorrow's Mian Sage." Lin Ruhai gave Lin Daiyu a dish and said, "Eat more. Feeding cats like this seems like it's not enough to eat."

"It's hot, I don't have any appetite." Lin Daiyu whispered.

A trace of worry flashed in Lin Ruhai's eyes.

The family had dinner. Because Lin Ruhai was running all the way and had to face the Holy Spirit again tomorrow, he stopped early.

But she said, Mother Jia was also a little stunned for a while, looked at Madam Wang in surprise and said, "You said that Uncle Lin is back?"

"That's not it." Mrs. Wang flashed a trace of annoyance in her eyes, and said, "It's also been a disaster recently, and I haven't asked about the Lin family. Now I don't even know about Uncle Lin's return to Beijing. The person who is not the shopkeeper of the Xue family saw Brother Yang at the dock, I'm afraid we can't get the news yet." After speaking, he sighed: "The old lady knows what Niangniang means. Now Niangniang is in the palace. It is also difficult. There are not many people we can refer to. Uncle Lin counts as one, Jing Haibo counts as one. Further down, my brother can be ranked. It’s just that on the Lin family’s side, the old lady has to speak. We may not Great ambassador."

"I'm a person buried in loess, who can really take me seriously." Jia's mother didn't tell the Lin family in advance, and she felt a little resentful.

Madam Wang didn't know the old lady's temper. In this family, who dares to go against the old lady. This made the old lady more and more tell the truth. It feels like whoever is born has to be assigned by her, otherwise it will be rebellious. But she only dared to repeat it twice in her heart. It didn't come out at all. Seeing that the old lady was stubborn again, she really didn't know how to persuade her. There used to be Wang Xifeng, whose mouth, no matter what he said, would be rounded up. Now that it is my turn to persuade, I realize how difficult it is to say flattering words that are not the same every day.

He only opened his mouth a few times, but he couldn't say anything pleasant.

Just as Mrs. Wang knew about Mother Jia, how could Mrs. Jia not know about Mrs. Wang. She waved her hand and said, "Now that you know, it's just a matter of sending someone to invite him tomorrow. You should also go down and rest." When I talked to her, I didn't know if it was embarrassing for her or embarrassing myself.

Wang Shi had to get up and back out. However, she knew very well that Jia's mother had a crush on her mother, and she was kind to her. If the old lady held her breath again, she still had to do what she had to do. When the empress is well, the Jia family can be well.

Zhou Rui's family whispered: "Now the second grandma doesn't care about anything, and many things are not going well for the wife."

"Who said it wasn't." Wang shi smiled and said, "I don't know what the **** girl Feng is doing, but I really don't care. If I don't believe it again, with her temperament, I can be reconciled. You are outside. , but what did you find out?"

"Where is it?" Zhou Rui's family smiled and said, "Even if there is anything, I'm afraid it has something to do with the Lin family. The second grandmother and the eldest girl of the Lin family are very similar."

"That's fine." Wang Shi nodded. The last time I was attacked by Nightmare Town, I owed Lin Yutong a favor. That phoenix girl has always been shrewd, and it is quite clever to rely on such a person.

"Tomorrow I'm afraid I still have to go to Lin's house with the second grandmother. Let's see if someone will tell you now." Zhou Rui's family reminded: "If the second master of Lian goes out tomorrow, or the second grandma doesn't Comfortable, what should I do?"

Wang Shi understood. This is not to give the two a chance to be lazy. In case it was brought up temporarily, the couple tried to escape.

"Go ahead." Wang Shi glanced at Zhou Rui's family and said, "This is a big deal, and they have to put everything aside."

Zhou Rui's family smiled and nodded. Today's Wang Xifeng is not the Wang Xifeng when she was a housekeeper. Even that girl Ping'er can crush her, so why should I be afraid of her.

Wang Xifeng sent away the somewhat arrogant Zhou Rui's family, with a mocking smile, she really regarded herself as a vegetarian. Xiaohong said: "This is also a person who can't understand the weight. It's a bit arrogant."

"It's okay, let her be proud for two days." Wang Xifeng asked Xiaohong in a low voice, "You saw it clearly last time."

"I see clearly. It was Sister Ping'er who sent Wang'er to deliver the things to Zhou Rui's son-in-law's pawnshop." Xiaohong whispered.

"But the one called Leng Zixing." Wang Xifeng asked again.

"Who else could it be if it wasn't him. Relying on our house for the past two years, I have made a lot of black money." Xiaohong scolded again in a low voice.

"Then it's easy to handle." Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief, "There is always a time to clean up them."

Lin Yutong didn't know about the Jia family's lawsuit, so he got up early and prepared breakfast for Lin Ruhai. If you want noodles, naturally you can't eat too much soup. Also prepared a purse of jerky and a purse of sour plum. Eat some jerky when you are hungry, and have a sour plum when you are thirsty. Always be able to carry it.

Lin Ruhai was a little dumbfounded. But looking at the food box in the hands of the servant who followed Lin Yuyang, there was no dissatisfaction. I didn't prepare a food box and asked me to take it with me, but I still knew that it was the palace. Can't bring it like that.

How could the emperor refuse to give face to such territorial officials like Lin Ruhai and tell them to wait for a long time. Don't say it's the right time to meet, even in the middle of the night, you should be able to see it.

"Lin Aiqing looked at it, but it has reduced a lot." The emperor shouted with a smile, and then let him see the seat and give him tea.

Lin Ruhai thanked him for his kindness, and then said: "In all matters in Jiangnan, the minister is really ashamed of the emperor. Up to now, ... is still entrenched. It is the incompetence of the minister."

"What you have done is much better than I imagined. Aiqing has worked hard." The emperor waved his hand. "Jiangnan is going to make a big move next! What plans does Aiqing have?"

"I'm not afraid of the emperor's jokes." Lin Ruhai said with some embarrassment: "I have been sorry for the few children over the years. Therefore, I still hope that I can enjoy a leisurely time."

"The heart of a loving father, what's so ridiculous." The emperor seemed to have some feelings and sighed: "Then let's stay in the capital. When we have time, we can talk in one place."

Lin Ruhai was overjoyed, and quickly knelt down to thank him.

When the emperor saw that his joy was not fake, he felt that Lin Ruhai was a rare sincere person. A person who can take his children so seriously must have a bottom line in doing things. Such a person is someone who can be trusted. Because he didn't dare to take any risks with the people he cared about. Therefore, even if he is not 100% loyal, it is absolutely impossible to betray.

The monarch and the ministers made some remarks on Jiangnan's affairs again. In general, the emperor was satisfied, and so was Lin Ruhai.

When it was time for dinner, the emperor left a meal. This is a rare honor.

As for the Lin family, Lin Yutong greeted Wang Xifeng with a smile.

"I guess you have to come in a day or two, I don't want you to come so quickly." Lin Yutong took Wang Xifeng and sat down. Cai said: "In this hot day, the whole family pointed to you and walked outside."

Wang Xifeng sighed and said, "Uncle Lin has just returned to Beijing, and his affairs are naturally busy. How could I not know this. As long as the old lady sends me out, I will come out for a walk. Just don't worry about it."

"How can I not know your difficulties." Lin Yutong smiled and said, "It's just that the news from you came quickly enough."

"Where is the news from our family?" Wang Xifeng pouted and said, "It's the Xue family. The Xue family unloaded the cargo at the dock and saw cousin Lin."

"I said." Lin Yutong shook his head and said, "You just say that when your father is done with business, he will come to visit him."

Wang Xifeng nodded and asked again, "How long can Uncle Lin stay in the capital this time?"

"My sister-in-law, you will lose money when the moon is full, and the water will overflow when you are full. How can you not understand. If my father's official does this, if he just pushes forward blindly, it will really not end. "Lin Yutong shook his head. Although everyone understands the principle of 'willing to give, only when you give up', the most rare thing is 'you can afford it, you can put it down'.

Wang Xifeng stared, "That's the Governor of Liangjiang." What kind of power. Just let it go.

"Just take it as soon as you see it, it will last a long time." Lin Yutong smiled.

Wang Xifeng nodded, "I have been taught."

After a while, Lin Daiyu also came. Smile and say hello before sitting down.

Wang Xifeng frowned and said, "But it's been a bitter summer. Why have you lost so much weight."

"I came here like this. I can't help but feel sorry for my sister." Lin Daiyu glanced at Lin Yutong apologetically before smiling: "It's only after the summer, maybe it will be fine."

Wang Xifeng has many people who can wink, so don't ask any further questions. He smiled and said, "When I was putting on the autumn fat, I asked the eldest sister to give you two days of supplementation, and it grew back again."

Lin Daiyu nodded and asked again, "The old lady is doing fine these days."

"Okay! Why not." Wang Xifeng laughed, "I have time to spare, so I went into the garden to chat and laugh with Baoyu and a few girls, and I just passed the day."

As he said that, he suddenly said, "Sister Yun, the Shi family told me about marriage. Do you know?"

Lin Yutong and Lin Daiyu looked at each other and shook their heads: "I never heard the news."

Lin Yutong asked, "How sooner or later? Whose family are you talking about?"

"I really don't know this. I just listened to Yuanyang's mouth in a trance, saying that the Shi family was coming, and told the old lady." Wang Xifeng smiled: "You know the mouth of Yuanyang. It was not the old lady who asked him to say it. Yes, no more words will be missed."

"In a situation like hers, it's difficult to talk about a family with all four corners. If you don't care about her background, it only depends on her character and temperament. I'm afraid it would be better." Lin Daiyu sighed.
