The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Daiyu threw the veil in her hand to him, "Give me back your piece!"

Jia Lian took out a piece of silk from his arms and said with a smile, "I'm used to it, so what do I do in exchange for nothing?"

Daiyu blushed, "Daddy knows that I often use it, but seeing it on you makes me ashamed to death!"

Jia Lian said: "When the time comes, I will say that it was sent by Yu'er."

"No!"

Daiyu said annoyed, "what's the matter? You have Sister Feng, and Sister Keqing and Sister Miaoyu, what are you doing with my veil?"

A pair of watery eyes with a bit of resentment. Jia Lian smiled and only lightly grabbed her hand, "The word love is the most unreasonable."

Daiyu covered her ears and spat: "Don't listen, don't listen! How can I tell my sister that you bully me and let him punish you!"

Jia Lian held her hand, "Do you want to"

Daiyu smiled, "I'll tell you when I think about it!"

Jia Lian shouted injustice: "If you don't live forever, wouldn't I become a tyrant and carry a monument of thousands of years for you?"

Daiyu jokingly said, "Aren't you Ying's Servant? It's not even a blink of an eye for thousands of years. Also, Naba is a dragon child, and you're almost a bug! Oh, I understand!"

Jia Lian leaned over and asked, "Understand what?"

Daiyu pointed Xianxianyu on his forehead, "It turns out that you are an unknown bug in Jiuhuang Mountain. You have practiced for an unknown number of winters and summers, and finally you have become a dragon, and you have become a servant of the gods, and then you have nothing to do every day, go to Watering the Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass is all connected now."

When Jia Lian saw Daiyu's brows and smiles, he echoed: "Be careful you reveal the secret, the Queen Mother wants to take you back."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, isn't there still you?"

"Yuer"

Jia Lian called out. Daiyu stroked a bunch of hair and replied sweetly, "What do you do?"

Jia Guo's voice outside said, "Second Master, Lord Lin's carriage and horse have already reached three miles away."

Jia Lian held back his thousands of thoughts, stepped forward and hugged her, and then got out of the car in a hurry. Daiyu opened the curtain again and handed out the handkerchief, "Take it, don't lose it!"

With a full smile, Jia Lian took it and put it in his arms. After a while, a green-mantle carriage came to the intersection, Lin Ruhai got off the car, and Jia Lian hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Lin, it's been a good journey."

Lin Ruhai smiled and patted his shoulder, "You have a heart!"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Not only me, but my cousin is also here!"

Saying that, Daiyu got out of the car and greeted her, "Daddy!"

When the father and daughter met, they burst into tears. After the talk was over, Lin Ruhai set up a chariot and rode into the city with Jia Lian. Jia Lian smiled and said, "When I went back to Beijing last time, I said that my uncle Yangzhou's affairs were successful, and he would definitely be promoted. , Today is exactly what I said. Lord Lin, it's polite to be an official!"

Not to mention the title, Lin Ruhai's current official rank is higher than Jia Lian. Lin Ruhai laughed heartily, "If Lian'er swept away those worms, my uncle would be here too."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Uncle, I can only use a hammer in the east and a stick in the west. It's just a mistake. If I do it again, I may not have the courage."

Lin Ruhai praised: "Don't be arrogant or impetuous, modest and cautious, you are much better than I imagined."

Jia Lian rarely blushed, "Uncle, these days, I'm really struggling, I don't even have a place to ask for ideas, and now you're back, it's great! I built a garden in Beijuxianfang, and now my sister and the others are here. My uncle might as well live there and teach my sister often."

Lin Ruhai thought for a while, "No, no."

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "I don't want to let my uncle live in vain, and he will be charged a rent of one or two silver a year. In addition, it is close to the Guozijian, so people who are eager to learn can make friends. If my uncle has nothing to do in his spare time, he can also give pointers. Let's take a look at my... little nephew. What does my uncle think?"

Lin Ruhai was still hesitating, but Daiyu lifted a corner of the curtain, "Daddy, don't promise him, he's using you as a housekeeper! We'll find a better place soon. Keep away from him!"

Lin Ruhai was amused by Daiyu, "Your brother is also kind, and since that's the case, we'll stay there."

Joy flashed in Daiyu's eyes, and she quietly gave Jia Lian a grimace before putting down the curtain. So, Jia Lian sent Lin Ruhai to Daming Palace to meet the emperor first, but Daiyu returned to the garden. I don't know what the emperor and Lin Ruhai talked about. What, he made Jia Lian wait outside the palace gate for two hours. 2. Until he came out, Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Lian and smiled, "The emperor takes you very seriously!"

Jia Lian cheered up and couldn't say bad things outside the palace gate, "This is all the grace of the emperor!"

After walking far away, he couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, what did the emperor tell you about me?"

Lin Ruhai laughed, "With me here in the future, don't think about being lazy and do nothing!"

Jia Lian said in surprise: "Uncle, you are the head of Dali Temple, and I am the head of Honglu Temple. Dali Temple can't control my Honglu Temple."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "But can I take care of you?"

Jia Lian opened his mouth, no matter from which aspect, he can control himself! Uncle, age, Zhengsanpin, Yuer's father! The last one is the most terrible, and Jia Lian is not allowed to refute. Recommended

Chapter [*]: The people who liked and valued returned from Daming Palace, and Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian went directly to the Rongguo Mansion. The old lady saw Lin Ruhai and thought of her daughter, and she couldn't help but burst into tears. Lin Ruhai also had tears in her eyes, "Mother needs more Take care, fortunately, I have returned to Beijing to serve, and I can serve you all day and night: in order to make up for Miner's regret."

"well!"

The old lady wiped her tears, "I'm happy to hear that you're back. The family should be reunited."

Jia Zheng smiled and said, "Ru Hai, I didn't expect our brothers to be able to talk about literature and Taoism again. This is the best thing. By the way, you only returned to Beijing. Why don't you live with us, everything is convenient."

Baoyu also smiled and said, "Uncle, if you live here, Sister Lin will naturally come back!"

Lin Ruhai looked at Baoyu, "Baoyu was only in his arms that day, and now he's so big, it's rare to be handsome, not a vulgar playboy. I think I've already entered school, but I don't know which book I've read."

Baoyu smiled reluctantly, and Jia Zheng was about to reprimand him. Jia Lian smiled on the side: "Uncle, Baoyu is still young after all, he has only studied the four books, and he has a little consideration for the Five Classics. The second uncle is very disciplined: strict, but I am lazy. I don't know what the situation is."

He gently took over this page. Lin Ruhai smiled and did not ask. As long as Baoyu didn't talk about his studies, he would be very pleasing in front of his elders. He was serving tea to Lin Ruhai and laughing at him, which made the old lady agree with him. Mrs. Wang has a great heart. Lin Ruhai is also smiling, "In the future, Baoyu will be extraordinary!"

But he still couldn't help but said to Jia Zheng: "I still have to urge reading, even if I don't come from the imperial examination in the future, I can cultivate my temperament and increase my knowledge."

Jia Zheng nodded, "Why don't I think like this?"

Lin Ruhai didn't say much. The old lady was already arranging Lin Ruhai's accommodation. Lin Ruhai stood up and said with a smile: "Mother does not need to arrange, Brother Lian has already rented his courtyard to me. I will stay with him for the time being. on."

The old lady was displeased and said to Jia Lian: "You tricked your sisters to live with you, and I haven't settled the bill with you. Today, your uncle lives with you, do you still need rent?"

Jia Lian stepped forward and said: "Old lady, Uncle Lin is already an important official of the imperial court, and his actions are all legal. If you live in our Rong Mansion, it will inevitably be inappropriate. Even if the officials come to visit, whether to come to our Rong Mansion or to see the Dali Temple. Although Qing is smaller, it is also a four-yard courtyard with all the internal organs. The rent for one tael of silver a year is already very cheap."

The old lady couldn't refute it. Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "It's not too far away, you can come from time to time."

So I talked some gossip. I didn't go back until late. Jia Lian stayed in the Rong Mansion. I didn't talk all night. On the second day, Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the palace of the Daming Palace, first prepared a sacrificial ceremony to send people, and then sat in a big sedan chair. He held an umbrella and sounded the gong, and came to the sacrifice in person. Jia Lian hurriedly followed, and asked Zhidou Fengxuan to offer tea. Therefore, I mentioned Jia Rong Xijue's words by the way. Dai Quan held the tea and smiled, "It's been four generations, Brother Zhen. It's a third-class general, and if you want to inherit it, you will only be the lowest-ranking fifth-rank commander. It's not difficult, you can report your name, you can mediate, and you can send the booklet as soon as possible."

Jia Lian cupped his hands. Dai Quan suddenly smiled and said, "Jiahou Ye, you can also play dumb riddles for me, and you want to ask for an official for your nephew."

Jia Lian nodded and said, "It's really a trick!"

Dai Quan said: "The thing is: by chance, there is a beauty shortage, and now the three hundred Long Jinwei is short by two. Yesterday, the brother of Xiangyang Hou's third brother came to me, and now he has taken [*] taels of silver. Send it to my house. You know, we are all old friends, no matter what, seeing his grandfather's points, we responded indiscriminately. There is still one vacancy, who knows that Yongxing Jiedushi Feng Fatzi came to ask for it. Donate with his child, I have no time to answer him. Since our child wants to donate, please write a resume."

Jia Lian shook his head, "This Captain Long is a false name, he can't make meritorious deeds, how much can he achieve as a fifth-rank nobility for life?"

Dai Quan put down the tea and said, "According to what the Marquis said, but if you ask for a title, please forgive me and I can't do anything!"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Don't embarrass the minister, since it is a donation, donate a real job. It doesn't matter whether it is Jinwu, Yulin, Hu Ben, Shenwu, Longwu, Shence, any commander or commander. Can."

Dai Quan gave him a deep look, "These places are all old, why do you need me?"

Jia Lian said: "To worship the Buddha is to worship the true Buddha."

Immediately, a few servants came up with Huang Cancan's spindles on their plates. "If the Prime Minister can't get through here, then don't ask anyone else, just donate a Long Jinwei."

Dai Quan glanced at the gold ingot in front of him, his expression changed, and after a while, he smiled and said, "You should find me on this matter."

Saying that, he turned his back and said to Jia Lian, "The emperor's six armies, the three armies are guarded inside, and the emperor must personally select the three armies. If the three armies are on expeditions, they cannot be promoted unless they have military merit, let alone donate to your uncle Niu Shi. Governing the army is very strict: In the past, there were also officials such as donating and paying the commander, and they were all routinely dismissed and put on a false name. It was also the Hou Ye who came to me today. We will escort a batch of ordnance to Yansui, and our family can arrange a hundred households for the children."

He looked at Jia Lian's face and said, "The child is still in filial piety. Fortunately, he is a military general. After a hundred days, he can serve in plain service. When he arrived in Yansui, our family let him stay in the place and move to a thousand households, adding notes at will. With some credits, it will only take more than a year, and the Hou Ye can transfer him back to the capital, and it will be more than enough for him. At that time, he will have both merits and qualifications, and he will not be promoted faster than ordinary people in the future."

So Jia Lian looked back at Jia Rong, "You heard how to choose just now, you can decide for yourself!"

Jia Rong is difficult to make a decision. On the one hand, Captain Long Jin is not a director. He doesn't need to work hard, but he can't make a contribution and will be a five-rank lord for a lifetime. On the other hand, it's harder, but he can come back after just grit his teeth for a year and a half. Uncle also hopes that he will choose the latter. Well, Jia Rong's originally fearful eyes became firmer, "Uncle, I want to go to Yansui."

Jia Lian just smiled and said, "There should always be someone from our Jia family who joins the army! Since it's a hundred households, my uncle will give you one hundred and twelve people 112."

He waved his hand, wrote another resume, and handed it to the little servant behind Dai Quan together with two hundred taels of gold. Dai Quan also said goodbye, and Jia Lian went straight to the door. Then, he heard the sound of shouting, It turned out that Shi Ding, the Hou Zhongjing, came. Jia Lian hurriedly greeted him in the upper room, and saw the three families of Jinxiang Hou, Chuanning Hou, and Shoushanbo ceremonies in front of the spirit. If you come and go, you can't count. Only these four On the [*]th, on Ningguofu Street, people came and went, and the officials came and went. On the day of the big funeral, the whole scene was on duty, and every one of them should be displayed. Ride, mighty and mighty, and the whole area is three or four miles away. When you don’t walk much, the colorful awnings are erected by the roadside, and there are various road festivals. Seeing a king’s sedan chair coming with a gong and an umbrella, it drops off in front of the shed. , the officials of his subordinates supported him on both sides, and the military and civilians were not allowed to return. The Ning residence opened the way for a messenger to see it, and hurriedly went back to report to Jia Lian. Jia Lian took a look, and his face turned gloomy. It's not a peace of mind. So I met with Jia Zheng and others to meet Wang Shuirong of Beijing. After the talk was over, I just laughed with Jia Zheng and said, "Why don't you invite the person who was born with the title of the treasure to come over for a while."

Jia Zheng hurriedly asked Baoyu to take off his filial attire. Jia Lian stepped back. It was no wonder that Jia Lian had a bad impression of King Beijing. After several crises, what King Beijing had done was so amazed that he went down in person. He picked up the sedan chair and held his hand, "As expected, his name is well-deserved, like a treasure like jade. I'm afraid his brother won't be as good as him in the future! Where is the treasure?"

Jia Zheng hurriedly replied: "My lord, although it's a little strange, it's just a common thing after all. So it's a custom to stay at home and not wear it on your body."

Shui Rong frowned slightly, the displeasure on his face flashed, and he never mentioned this matter, still warmly greeted, and gave Baoyu a string of wagtail rosary beads on his hands, and also carefully reminded that in his spare time, You can go to his house to talk and talk. We talked for more than a quarter of an hour, without saying a word to Jia Lian in the middle.

Chapter [*] Jia Yucun is still here. Jia Zhen has already come to an end. Jia Lian returned from Tiejian Temple directly to the other courtyard. At this time, Lun Ruhai was waiting for guests in the hall. When Jia Lian walked in, Lin Ruhai smiled and pointed to a San Ran is a middle-aged man with a moustache and a handsome face, a red robe and a cloud of wild goose. , and now he has resumed his position as the prefect of Jingzhao Mansion."

This Jia Yucun's appearance is very suitable for all the characteristics of a gentleman. However, Jia Lian knows that this person is cold, selfish, and has no gratitude at all. As early as in Yangzhou, Jia Lian deliberately avoided him and disappeared in Jinling. It stole the starting point for his success. I thought I would never see him again in this life, but I didn't expect that with the rise of Uncle Lin, he would also rise to the top, and he actually worked directly in Jingzhao. I really can't underestimate him. Jia Yucun's face With a smile on his face, he quickly got up and cupped his hands and said, "Master Hou, the lower official is polite."

Jia Lian could only bury his disgust in the bottom of his heart, and also smiled: "Since you are my sister's teacher, you are also my elder, how can you think of an official title?"

Then Jia Yucun smiled and said, "I have also visited Uncle Ling in Rongguo Mansion, and I have a seniority, but I and Lord Hou are of the same generation, and I really dare not call myself a teacher."

Jia Lian was surprised: "That's Brother Jia."

Jia Yucun said very modestly: "How old are you, I'm really ashamed! Ashamed!"

Jia Lian then asked Jia Yucun to sit down: I just listened to Lin Ruhai saying: "It happened that the predecessor of the prefecture, Ding You, the emperor asked me who I was, and I recommended Yucun. I came to reminisce today, and I was thinking of inviting you to come. Let's talk together."

Sure enough, it was recommended by Lin Ruhai, and it can be seen that the image of Jia Yucun is excellent. Jia Lian has no evidence that this person is not credible, and he has to pretend to be warm. "Brother Yucun, congratulations to Gao Sheng!"

Jia Yucun first thanked Lin Ruhai, "If it wasn't for the recommendation of Lord Tingwei, how could Yucun be grateful to Yucun today, and if he drives away in the future, he will dare not serve his life."

This is the name submission. In the future, I, Jia Hua, will follow you. Lin Ruhai said, "Yucun said too much. From now on, you and I will be ministers in the same palace, and you should do your best to be the emperor and serve the court. I have mistakes, and Amamura should point out and strengthen each other, so as to live up to the original intention of my recommendation."

Jia Yucun is busy to be taught, "Yucun remember."

Jia Lian glanced at Jia Yucun, who was respectful in front of Lin Ruhai. Duke Zhou was afraid of the rumors day, and Wang Mang was modest. It seems that a villain like him is not completely useless. Still in: high position, it is still useful when holding great power. "Brother Yucun, since we are a family, then we are close and close now!"

Jia Lian brought the tea and went over. Jia Yucun hurriedly stood up and took it with both hands, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I won't be able to climb high, and I'll lose the honor of Rong Guofu!"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Wherever it is, it's just the credit of the ancestors, it's nothing."

Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Lian'er, don't belittle yourself, you are already very good. The prosperity of the Rongguo Mansion is just around the corner. If the father-in-law is still there, I will praise your intentions!"

Jia Yucun also echoed: "The Hou Ye is young and heroic, and he must go further. In the future, it is just around the corner to seal the kingdom of the country!"

Although this person has a bad personality, his words are very comforting. If Jia Lian were the Duke of Rongguo, tsk tsk! "This is something I can't imagine."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "I still have to learn the principles of being an official under my uncle's knees. The rest is too far away."

The three of them talked very happily. Jia Yucun tried his best to learn and won the praise of Lin Ruhai. Obviously, talking bad about Jia Yucun at this time is ineffective and may be counterproductive. Simply send two people to his house to have a look. Look at it. Jia Lian has also gone crazy at some point, and always wants to control everything in his own hands. But how can he send Jia Yucun away? When Jia Lian came back to see Lin Ruhai looking tired, he asked with concern: "Uncle ,What’s wrong with you"

He was about to grab his hand to visit. Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said with a smile, "I have nothing to do, but I have been busy recently. I have checked the case files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Procuratorate one by one in recent years, trying to be fair."

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Uncle should also cherish himself. My sister told me many times that when my uncle is busy, he can't care about anything. Now that my aunt is gone, if my uncle has any more mistakes, how can my sister bear it?"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "It's okay, I see that you care about Yu'er. I am very relieved as a father. Instead, I only worry about you, Lian'er."

Jia Lian sat down next to him: "If my uncle has anything to say, just say it bluntly."

Lin Ruhai looked to the left and right, and the servants went down. "There is a strange turmoil in the court, it seems that someone is behind it."
