Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

The next day, Jia Huan drove straight to Lin Mansion.

The housekeeper of the Lin Mansion was brought by Lin Ruhai from Jiangnan, so he naturally knew Jia Huan, the quasi-aunt of the Lin Mansion.

Therefore, when Jia Huan arrived, he was let in directly without any notification.

After entering the Lin Mansion, Jia Huan was about to visit Lin Ruhai first, but he saw Lin Daiyu first.

Lin Daiyu entered Jia Huan and asked quickly: "Brother Huan, why are you here?"

Jia Huan rolled her eyes and asked, "Sister Lin, is it possible that your Lin Mansion doesn't welcome me here?"

Lin Daiyu sneered and said, "Brother Huan, you are trying to narrow things down. You know that's not what I meant."

"I'm afraid that if my father sees us, he will say something about us again."

Jia Huan said seriously: "Sister Lin, have you forgotten that I am also a miracle doctor! I was able to see through my uncle's poison."

"Now that I'm here, I want to diagnose my uncle again. Do you think I'm just being courteous for nothing?"

Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "Brother Huan is absolutely right. It's thanks to you that you noticed that my father was poisoned. If not, what would have happened?"

Jia Huan clapped his hands and said, "Why don't you tell me that my uncle doesn't think so and guards me like a thief? How can I not be chilled?"

Lin Daiyu smiled and was about to speak when she heard a cough from behind.

When he looked back, he found that Lin Ruhai was walking over with a straight face.

Jia Huan greeted Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai asked with a straight face: "What are you doing here today?"

Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "Uncle, have you forgotten that I am the doctor and you are the patient?"

"I came here today to diagnose my uncle and see if the poison he suffered has been alleviated."

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai's expression froze.

After a while, Fang said: "You come to the study with me to talk."

Jia Huan followed Lin Ruhai to the study.

After arriving in the study, Jia Huan carefully checked Lin Ruhai's body.

This time, Jia Huan really came to check Lin Ruhai's body.

I should have checked him out yesterday.

But yesterday, Jia Huan was so angry with the old man that he actually forgot about it.

After the examination, Jia Huan found that Lin Ruhai's recovery was not bad.

In a year or two, the remaining poison will probably be cleared away.

Of course, the body will inevitably suffer some irreversible damage.

But for now, the problem is not too big.

After the inspection, Jia Huan gave some instructions.

The reason why I didn't warn him again and again was because before leaving, Sister Lin would definitely ask again.

When the time comes, just give Sister Lin some good advice.

Lin Ruhai asked Jia Huan to sit down. A maid came to serve tea, but Lin Ruhai waved her hand and drove her out.

Lin Ruhai picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then asked: "Brother Huan, you have made such a big name."

"The battle in the southwest made you even more famous. There is probably no one in the whole of Daxia who doesn't know your name."

"Aren't you very proud of your young reputation?"

Jia Huan smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle, these false names are not what I asked for, they are just a coincidence."

"If I had a choice, I would rather not have this reputation. I am really not proud of it, but I am frightened by this reputation."

Hearing what Jia Huan said, Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "If you really think so, that's it. Then do you know that you are in danger?"

Lin Ruhai's words shocked Jia Huan.

What he said sounded too much like a fortune teller on the street.

It’s probably just the first half of the sentence that makes you lose your temper.

But since this was said by Lin Ruhai, Jia Huan had to take it seriously.

Jia Huan couldn't help but humbly ask: "I really haven't discovered it yet. Please ask my uncle to teach me."

Seemingly satisfied with Jia Huan's attitude, Lin Ruhai said, "I heard that the changes in Daxia started with you. If I had been in Beijing at that time, I would never have allowed you to be in the limelight."

After hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but be surprised: "Uncle, do you also think that change is not good?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said: "The changes in Daxia are actually a good strategy that will never be easy! It can truly be called peace for all generations!"

Hearing this, Jia Huan's face showed a thoughtful look, and he couldn't help but ask: "In that case, what does uncle mean?"

Lin Ruhai chuckled and said: "You are smart, I am afraid you have thought of this step before. It's just that you underestimated the resistance that the change will encounter."

"You must know that change is the lifeblood of the gentry. This kind of change cannot be carried out unless it is a period when a dynasty is emerging."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to succeed. The counterattack it will cause will definitely be overwhelming and make the sun and moon hang upside down."

Jia Huan deeply agreed with Lin Ruhai's words.

In ancient history, Yongzheng was the only emperor who truly implemented the idea of ​​dividing the land between farmers and the gentry.

Even Yongzheng was not able to implement changes throughout the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, his reforms lasted for a lifetime, and his successor, Emperor Qianlong, abolished his reforms.

Since ancient times, any change that touches the interests of the ruling class must be extremely difficult, and those who promote it must not end well.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "Uncle, I just happened to be brought in during the Great Xia Revolution. It was not what I wanted."

Lin Ruhai sighed: "Even if it's the right time, how can those opponents let you go?"

"In the past two years, first the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom besieged Kyoto, and then the Nanman invaded our southwest Daxia. The Da Yueshi and the Jin Kingdom cooperated with each other."

"Everything in this pile, every piece of it, there are figures of aristocratic families! Moreover, the muddy water of Daxia is far deeper than you think."

"And this is just the beginning. They will definitely have a more violent counterattack later."

"Today's Holy Emperor is forced to implement changes as a last resort. He knows full well that changes will inevitably lead to crazy counterattacks."

"However, if there is no change, Daxia will be hard to recover from and will surely perish from increasingly difficult financial conditions."

“If we want to change all this, we must change the situation of land annexation.”

"But at present, Daxia is like a seriously ill patient, so it is really not easy to take strong medicine. This is a dead end."

"Your Majesty has no choice but to do this now. In order to repay His Majesty's kindness in knowing me, Duke Zhao is willing to be this lonely minister."

"And you really shouldn't get involved."

Lin Ruhai's analysis was more thorough than Jia Huan thought.

Hearing this, Jia Huan hesitated and said: "Uncle, haven't I withdrawn from the whirlpool?"

"I have already sensed the danger, so I have already used Ding You to step back and withdraw from the whirlpool of change."

"Now that I'm in charge of the Red Flame Army, I spend three days fishing and two days drying nets. I shouldn't be in any danger, right?"

Hearing Jia Huan's words, Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, "Brother Huan, you have been in a whirlpool. When did you step back and get out?"

"Now you are in charge of the Red Flame Army. In the battle in the southwest, the performance of the Red Flame Army shocked countless people."

"This battle made the Red Flame Army famous, and it has become the most powerful army in Great Xia."

"And this powerful army only obeys your Majesty's orders and is in your hands."

"The Red Flame Army is a sharp blade in His Majesty's hand. If the Red Flame Army is not eliminated, how can we abolish the reform?"

"And if we want to get rid of the Red Flame Army, you, the legendary commander, will naturally be the first to be eliminated."

"Don't think that you are safe if you stay in Beijing. If they want to get rid of someone, they have too many methods at their disposal." Hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but shudder.

He was really frightened by Lin Ruhai's words.

The methods of those scholar-bureaucrats were actually very dirty.

Looking through history books, I wonder how many emperors died in various accidents?

How many generals and officials died without illness?

If they want someone to die alone, they don't need many means.

Jia Huan didn't want to live in fear every day, and he had to be wary of anyone coming to plot against him.

I was afraid that one day news would suddenly spread that I had contracted an illness and died suddenly.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan hurriedly asked: "I wonder how my uncle can teach me?"

Lin Ruhai couldn't help but said: "I thought about this when I took the boat north."

"You can lead the Red Flame Army to quell the Japanese pirates and temporarily disappear from everyone's sight to ensure safety."

To pacify the Japanese pirates?

There was indeed a Japanese pirate rebellion along the coast of Daxia.

However, it has not caused too serious a disaster for the time being.

If we can really eliminate the Japanese, we must have battleships and form a navy.

Well, Daxia also has naval forces.

However, the combat effectiveness of the Daxia Navy was comparable to that of the Beijing camp.

Even worse than Jingying.

After all, the Beijing camp was just outside the capital, right under the eyes of the imperial court.

As for the Great Xia Navy, it has really been at peace for a long time, and it has not fought a naval battle in I don’t know how many years.

It is still unknown how much fighting power is left at this time.

If you can form a navy to fight against Japanese pirates, it is actually a good choice.

Because if this is true, then the navy of Haitian Island will soon develop.

If nothing else, it would be much easier to at least purchase naval equipment such as warships.

Furthermore, it is extremely easy to recruit experienced naval forces.

Of course, the prerequisite is that confidentiality must be done well.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "Uncle, it's just that the Red Flame Army is cavalry. How can the emperor let the Red Flame Army go to quell the Japanese?"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Your Majesty calls me back, so he will probably still use me."

"I will discuss this matter with Your Majesty."

"If you are asked to pacify the Japanese, of course you cannot directly say that you will pacify the Japanese."

"The main purpose is for you to keep an eye on the aristocratic families in Jiangnan and prevent them from making any changes."

"What your Majesty values ​​most is still Jiangnan. In fact, if you go to Jiangnan, you don't necessarily have to go to pacify Japan."

Hearing this, Jia Huan's face showed a thoughtful look.

Why does he feel that this bad old man Lin Ruhai is trying to fool him?

However, if he could temporarily go out to deal with the Japanese, it would be an extremely beneficial thing for him, and it was not impossible to do.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "It's all up to my uncle to make the decision."

Lin Ruhai said happily: "There is no rush in this matter, let me figure it out slowly."

"Besides, it may not be safe in the capital. As the so-called cunning rabbit's three caves say, you'd better have a safe place to live outside the capital."

"At the same time, even if you are not in the capital, it is best to leave a team of loyal servants in the house. If something goes wrong in the capital, you can secretly transfer your family members."

Hearing this, Jia Huan was horrified.

He never expected that Lin Ruhai would judge that the situation in the court had become so bad.

Jia Huan nodded and said, "I must obey my uncle's good advice."

"I have a village outside the city. I will make arrangements when I get back."

Jia Huan had a small Qingshan Village outside the city, where he still built a workshop.

Xiaoqingshan Village is backed by Xiaoqingshan, so Xiaoqingshan Village can be used as a stronghold.

Xiao Qingshan can also be developed again, and if something unexpected happens, it can also be transferred to Xiao Qingshan.

Seeing that Jia Huan was good at what he did and his children could be taught, Lin Ruhai nodded with satisfaction.

He said to Jia Huan: "Go and see your sister Lin. Be careful not to stay too long. Say a few words and then leave."

Jia Huan stood up and said, "Yes, uncle, my nephew will leave first."

After leaving Lin Ruhai's study, Jia Huan walked directly to Lin Daiyu's yard.

Not long after, they entered Lin Daiyu's house.

After Zijuan served the tea, she quietly walked out with Xueyan and the other maids, and closed the door behind them.

Lin Daiyu walked to Jia Huan, hugged Jia Huan gently and said, "Brother Huan, thank you."

Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "Sister Lin, between you and me, why do you need to say this word of thanks?"

Lin Daiyu said softly: "Other than saying thank you, I really don't know how to thank you for your kindness to me."

Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "Sister Lin, being able to meet you and gain your favor is the greatest gift from God to me!"

Hearing Jia Huan's words, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but tighten her arms.

After chatting with Lin Daiyu for a while and instructing Lin Ruhai on the details that Lin Ruhai needed to pay attention to during her daily rest, Jia Huan stood up and left.

Jia Huan hesitated, fearing that Lin Ruhai would send someone to chase him out if he didn't leave.

After returning to Ningguo Mansion, Jia Huan recalled what Lin Ruhai said to him.

Jia Huan always felt that Lin Ruhai had some conspiracy.

But if I can really leave the capital temporarily and go to exterminate the Japanese pirates, it will be a good thing for me.

In addition, establishing a secret retreat must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but call the head of Mo University over.

Not long after, the head of Mo University rushed over.

Entering the room, she couldn't help but ask: "I wonder what the master's orders are?"

Jia Huan couldn't help but talk about wanting to build a secret retreat in Xiaoqingshan.

After hearing this, Master Mo couldn't help but ask: "Do you want to do something big?"

After hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but said speechlessly: "What big thing are you doing? You must not talk nonsense."

"I'm afraid that if something happens in the capital, I might as well have a way out."

After hearing Jia Huan's words, Master Mo asked with a strange expression: "Sir, has the situation in the capital reached such a critical level?"

Jia Huan said with a smile: "There will always be days when there are no days to think about, but don't wait until there are no days to think about the days. It's just a way of retreat. It's always good to be prepared."

The head of the Mo family nodded and said: "In that case, just leave this matter to our Mo family."

"In three months, we can create the escape route that the young master needs in Xiaoqingshan Village and Xiaoqingshan Mountain."

Jia Huan said: "There is no need to be so urgent, just build it carefully." (End of Chapter)
