Chapter 21: It’s all a routine
Lin Yun followed the old housekeeper back to the government office and went to the backyard where Lin Ruhai and his wife lived.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Grandma Liu standing in the middle of the courtyard, busy directing a group of servants to sort out various goods. Without thinking, Lin Yun knew that these things must be taken by Jia Min to Kyoto and given to the Jia family.
Gifts for each room.
Seeing Lin Yun follow the old housekeeper in, Grandma Liu immediately lowered her face and said: "Brother Yun, you are really promising. You dare to run to the brothel in broad daylight."
Lin Yun quickly defended: "Mommy, I was dragged over by the old miracle doctor. If you don't believe me, you can ask Uncle Fu."
Seeing Nanny Liu looking at him, the old housekeeper hurriedly said: "I still have something to do. Brother Yun, you can go see the master and his wife by yourself."
After the old housekeeper finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared.
Lin Yun secretly cursed in his heart: "The old guy is so unloyal!"
At this time, Cherry walked out of a room, smiled at Lin Yun and said, "Young nephew, sir, my wife wants you to go in and answer."
Lin Yun had no choice but to walk into the house. When he passed by Yingtao, the little maid looked at the scars on his face with worry and lowered her voice to remind: "Master nephew, my wife heard that you went to that kind of place.
Very angry."
"I see."
Cherry then added: "I have to say a few good words for you in front of my wife."
"oh."
Lin Yun was secretly curious after hearing this. Based on his previous conjecture, Lin Ruhai should be the one who was angry and Jia Min should speak for him. Why was it the other way around?
Before he could think clearly, the two of them had already entered the main hall.
When he looked up, he saw Lin Ruhai and Jia Min sitting behind a round table. Daiyu was nestling in Jia Min's arms, looking at Lin Yun who walked in from the door with a look of gloating on her face.
Lin Yun stepped forward and spoke first: "Uncle, aunt, and nephew went out to look for a place to open a shop. I came back late. Please forgive me."
Jia Min saw the scars on Lin Yun's face at a glance. She immediately lowered her face and said, "Brother Yun, were you fighting with someone outside?"
Lin Yun had already thought of his words, and he explained with a smile: "The old miracle doctor had a conflict with a little fat man. He didn't dare to cause trouble for the old man, so he stopped me on the road. The little nephew had no choice but to
I just competed with him a few times."
Jia Min quickly asked: "Do you know who the other party is?"
"I know, his name is Feng Ziying, and he is the son of Shenwu General Feng Kang."
Lin Ruhai smiled at Jia Min and said: "This Feng Ziying, I have also heard from his staff that he often causes trouble outside. I think Brother Yun was just unlucky enough to get entangled with him."
Jia Min was still dissatisfied and said: "If he didn't go to that kind of place, how could he be entangled."
Lin Yun quickly put the responsibility on old man Guo, "Aunt, it was the miracle doctor Guo who said he would take me to find a suitable place to open a shop. My nephew also found out that he had been deceived by him when he got there."
At this point, Lin Yun stopped and hinted to Jia Min with his eyes that there is an underage girl in your arms, and it seems inappropriate to talk about this kind of thing in front of her.
Lin Ruhai changed the subject and said, "Brother Yun, your aunt and I have agreed that you will leave for Kyoto early tomorrow morning."
Lin Yun said anxiously: "How is this possible? I haven't chosen a perfume shop yet."
Jia Min: "Leave the shop to the old housekeepers to help them choose. We will still be back in March next year at least."
"Can you postpone it for a day?"
"I have to leave tomorrow."
"All right."
Jia Min said again: "That Guo Yuqi, stay away from him in the future, so as not to be led astray by him."
Lin Yun thought to himself: "Well, the old miracle doctor became Guo Yuqi in a blink of an eye, and this aunt turned her back quickly enough."
Daiyu suddenly raised her little face and said to Jia Min: "Mother, clan brother~"
As soon as the word "brother" came out of her mouth, she remembered that her mother did not allow her to be called this name, so she changed her words and said, "Brother is fighting with others outside. Should someone pull him out and give him a beating?"
Lin Yun's face darkened when he heard this. He looked at the little girl in Jia Min's arms and thought to himself: "All my gifts were in vain. This girl is just a white-eyed wolf."
Lin Ruhai laughed at the side and said: "Yu'er, your brother already knows that he was wrong. Let's forgive him this time."
Daiyu pouted her little mouth and said dissatisfiedly: "My father is partial to my brother."
Jia Min stood up, held her daughter's little hand, and said with a smile: "Yu'er, mother is tired too. Let's go inside and rest."
"All right."
Daiyu promised, but her eyes secretly glanced at Lin Yun. Apparently she was dissatisfied with not being able to see him getting hit.
…
After the mother and daughter left, Lin Ruhai immediately stood up and told Lin Yun: "Follow me to the inner study. I have something to tell you."
"OK."
The inner study room was right next to the main room. Lin Yun followed Lin Ruhai and walked in. He saw that except for a desk, almost all the rooms were filled with bookshelves filled with various books.
Lin Ruhai walked behind the desk and sat down, looked at Lin Yun and asked seriously: "What are you and Guo Yuqi doing at Meixiang Tower?"
Just as Lin Yun was about to speak, he heard Lin Ruhai say again: "Don't use what you just said to fool your aunt to deal with me. I want to hear you tell the truth."
Lin Yun said with a bitter face: "To be honest with my uncle, my nephew suspects that the miracle doctor Guo has colluded with the salt merchants."
After listening to Lin Yun's explanation, although Lin Ruhai had already had a premonition, he was still surprised.
After pondering for a while, he asked again: "I heard from your aunt that you have seen the prescription prescribed by the old miracle doctor and confirmed that there is nothing wrong with the prescription. Why do you still doubt him?"
Lin Yun said without hesitation: "Because he is a doctor and has the reputation of being a miracle doctor. If the salt merchant wants to do evil to his uncle's family, he is naturally the first choice to find a breakthrough."
Lin Ruhai laughed when he heard the words: "You can think of it, how can I not know it? There are some things that you don't understand yet. In short, the old miracle doctor is still worthy of trust."
After a pause, Lin Ruhai said again: "Since you can think of the salt merchant's desire to harm me, you should understand that only by sending your aunt and Yu'er to Kyoto for resettlement can I be free to do things."
"My nephew understands."
Lin Yun thought for a while and then said: "Uncle, are we taking an official ship to go to Kyoto?"
"There happens to be a batch of tax money that is going to be transported to Beijing recently. If you follow the fleet responsible for escorting the shipment, you will have no worries about safety."
After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, he reached out to open the drawer, took out a wooden box from it, and handed it to Lin Yundao: "There are three letters in it. You should keep them. When you go to Kyoto, you can take the time to visit them one by one. They see that I
I will take good care of you on my thin face."
Lin Yun quickly took the box and said gratefully: "Thank you uncle for your concern!"
Lin Ruhai waved her hand, "There is no need to say these foreign words between you and my uncle and nephew."
Lin Yun hesitated for a moment, then suggested to Lin Ruhai: "Salt merchants are difficult to deal with. Why don't uncle keep Mr. Shi Fei behind to give you some advice?"
Lin Ruhai chuckled and said, "You really dare to say what kind of person Jia Shifei is, how can you be willing to work under me?"
Lin Yun hurriedly asked: "Isn't he impoverished now and has nowhere to go?"
Lin Ruhai shook his head and said: "You only know the outside, but you don't know the inside. Jia Shifei and I were admitted to the same imperial examination, I was the first-class scholar, and he was the second-class scholar. When we both entered the Hanlin Academy together, we were in the same class.
The Emperor is at his side and listens. If we really want to talk about the Emperor's trust, he only has a lot more trust than I do."
When Lin Yun heard this, he opened his mouth in shock. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly said: "So, even if you don't come forward to recommend me, the emperor will still reuse him?"
Lin Ruhai twisted his beard and said with a smile: "You can teach a child."
Then, he added: "The emperor just wants to find a powerful courtier to recommend him, so that he can be placed in a suitable position. If my guess is correct, Jia Shifei may be appointed after returning to Beijing."
As the prefect of Jinling."
Lin Yun secretly cursed in his heart: "This is all a trick! The teacher and the poor are all lies."
