Chapter 31: People I don’t hate
When Lin Yun returned to Jia Min's side, everyone looked at him with surprise. Aunt Liu circled around Lin Yun, then smiled at Jia Min and said, "Brother Yun, put on what the wife picked out."
The clothes are really eye-catching.”
Jia Min nodded in agreement: "Brother Yun originally looked good, but now that he puts on these clothes, he looks even more outstanding."
When Jia Min and Aunt Liu praised Lin Yun, Daiyu was not jealous this time. After the assassination last time, her feelings for Lin Yun changed a lot. In the past, she always felt that Lin Yun's appearance would cause her to leave.
Her parents' love for her.
But after that incident, she suddenly realized that having an older brother was actually quite good. Lin Yun could not only protect herself, but also help her do some little things that her parents didn't know about. Thinking about it this way, it was clear that there was one more person.
Pamper her.
However, she was no longer jealous, but if there was an opportunity to tease Lin Yun, she still refused to let it go.
After tracing Lin Yun's body with her eyes a few times, the little girl rolled her eyes and smiled at Jia Min: "Mom, my daughter thinks that someone should put some powder on her brother's face. Wouldn't that make him look better?"
When Lin Yun heard this, he almost fainted from fright. He hurriedly said: "Uncle, I will go down below to see if the servants are ready."
After saying that, he ran out the door without waiting for Jia Min's consent.
Hee hee hee~
When Daiyu saw Lin Yun scared away by her, she immediately burst into laughter.
Jia Min raised her hand and tapped her daughter's forehead, scolding: "You are the most naughty."
Daiyu made a face at her mother, feeling secretly proud, "Huh! I knew he must be afraid of this."
…
At Dongcheng Pier, Jia Lian and a group of servants were guarding here, waiting for Jia Min's arrival.
The young boy Xing'er raised his hands and rubbed his cheeks that were reddened by the cold wind, and advised Jia Lian: "Second Master, you'd better go and rest in the warm sedan chair. There is a young guard here, so you can keep it safe."
Jia Lian raised his legs and stamped his feet, saying: "We're almost here. Since we've waited so long, if we hide now, wouldn't we be in vain and leave a bad impression on my aunt?"
Xing'er: "My aunt is also very lucky. We took a boat to the capital in this winter, and the rivers were not frozen on the way."
Jia Lian smiled and said: "What is blessing? Our aunt is a blessed person."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a servant tapping his feet and shouting: "Second Master, look, there seems to be a fleet coming over there."
Xing'er had sharp eyes. When he heard the sound, he immediately said happily: "Second Master, it seems that our aunt and grandma are here."
Jia Lian stretched his neck and looked into the distance, then smiled and said, "My aunt must have arrived."
As the fleet became clearer and clearer, Jia Lian turned around and shouted to the servants behind him: "Cheer up, everyone, our aunt will be here soon."
After speaking, he raised his hand to hold the hat on his head, straightened his clothes, and prepared to board the ship to meet his aunt.
About a quarter of an hour later, the fleet finally arrived at the pier. Jia Lian and his boy ran forward quickly, and saw a young man wearing a red cloak appearing on the side of a large ship opposite, leading two followers on the boat.
Come over to the springboard.
Jia Lian saw that the young man was not old but had extraordinary bearing, so he guessed in his heart that this was his uncle's nephew Lin Yun.
I saw the young man walking towards Jia Lian, clasped his fists at Jia Lian and said with a smile, "This must be Brother Lian, right?"
Jia Lian raised his hand and returned the greeting, "That's it. Who are you?"
"My name is Lin Yun. On my uncle's order, I escorted my uncle to the capital to visit the old lady."
Jia Lian hurriedly said: "It turns out to be Brother Yun. It's a pleasure to meet you. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Lin Yun looked at Jia Lian standing in front of him and thought to himself: "This is such a handsome guy!"
Jia Lian also thought to himself: "Brother Yun looks so polite, how could he personally beat up Lai Da's nephew?"
"Brother Lian, let me take you on board the ship to meet your aunt."
"It should be so."
Jia Lian responded, turned around and told the boys and servants to wait here, and boarded the ship with Lin Yun to see Jia Min.
After boarding the ship, they first met Jia Yucun and Divine Doctor Guo, and Lin Yun introduced the three of them.
However, Jia Lian obviously had no interest in these two people. After a few perfunctory words, he asked Lin Yun to take him to see Jia Min.
Jia Min had already gotten out of the cabin and was holding Daiyu's little hand, walking towards the side of the ship surrounded by a group of maids and women.
Jia Lian naturally recognized Jia Min. When he saw her coming, he quickly walked a few steps, stepped forward and saluted Jia Min and said, "Lian'er, please give my regards to my aunt."
Jia Min raised his hand to support him, and said with a smile: "We haven't seen you for a few years, Brother Lian is really becoming more and more promising."
Jia Lian smiled awkwardly. These words made him feel a little guilty. Logically speaking, he should have gone to Yangzhou to visit his sick aunt earlier, instead of bringing someone to greet her here.
"Lian'er, how is the old lady? Are your father and your second uncle in good health?"
"Everything is fine. The old lady heard that your aunt is coming back. She has been very happy these days. Everyone in the house is waiting for your return."
Jia Min smiled and nodded, then turned around and told her daughter: "Yu'er, come and meet your second brother Lian."
Daiyu hurriedly stepped forward to salute Jia Lian and shouted obediently: "Hello, second brother Lian!"
"Hello, sister Yu'er!"
After the ceremony, Jia Lian accompanied Jia Min to the pier, and raised his hand to call for a carriage and a sedan. The maids and women took the carriages, and Jia Min and others sat in the sedan.
Seeing that Jia Lian also brought a few horses, Lin Yun gave up the plan of riding in the carriage and asked Jia Lian for three horses, preparing to ride with Zhong Yi and Xiao Mo.
Just as he was about to mount his horse, Lin Yun suddenly remembered something. He turned around and walked towards General Dong and others who were coming off the boat.
He hurriedly walked over, cupped his fists and saluted General Dong, saying, "General Dong, thank you and the soldiers for escorting us all the way."
General Dong Shen said boldly and authentically: "Master Lin, please don't be polite. This is all the responsibility of the junior general."
Lin Yun took out a banknote from his pocket and put it into General Dong's hand, "It's just a small expense. I'll give the soldiers a drink to warm themselves up when they go into the city."
General Dong Shen took a look at the denomination of the bank note, and then said with a smile on his face: "Thank you very much, sir. If I have any assignments in the future, I will never refuse."
"Thank you!"
After Lin Yun thanked him, he walked towards Hu Baihu again. He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Hu Xiangyi.
Is that possible?"
Hu Xiangyi was overjoyed when he heard this. He hurriedly took the letter and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Sir, I will personally deliver the letter to Lin Da."
"Then please leave it to Brother Hu. When I return to Yangzhou, I will definitely invite you to visit Meixiang Tower."
"Hey hey hey~"
Hu Xiangyi laughed dryly and said to himself, "I can't afford to visit that Meixiang Tower. It's just that the other party kindly invited me, so he couldn't refuse."
Lin Yun chatted affectionately with Hu Xiangyi for a few more words, and then said goodbye with clasped fists.
He did this to help the other party and make Dong Shenjiang think that he had friendship with him. Although he couldn't guarantee that it would definitely work, he could give it a try and there would be no harm.
Besides, if Lin Ruhai could like this guy, he would be very lucky.
…
After saying goodbye to General Dong Shen and his party, Lin Yun got on his horse, caught up with Jia Min's sedan, and followed behind.
When Jia Lian saw Lin Yun riding a horse, he was too embarrassed to sit in the warm sedan chair, so he rode the horse instead.
The two rode horses side by side, and Jia Lian chatted with Lin Yun on the pretext of asking about Jia Min's condition.
Among the Jia family, the only person Lin Yun didn't hate was Lian Er.
To be honest, it is very rare for Jia Lian to maintain a normal conscience despite being born into a wealthy family like Rongguofu.
After feeling familiar with Lin Yun, Jia Lian reminded him: "Brother Yun, the matter between you and Lai Xi has been spread to the house. The ancestors of the Lai family have a lot of face in front of the old lady. You have to do it today." Handle it with caution."
Lin Yun nodded and smiled: "Thank you, Brother Lian, for reminding me. I will be careful."
Jia Lian smiled with satisfaction and said nothing more. Seeing Jia Min's close attitude towards Lin Yun just now, he knew that this little guy has caught the eye of his aunt. Even if Aunt Lai takes action today, I am afraid that I can't get away with it.
In this case, why not sell the other party a favor and bring the relationship closer between the two of them.
After entering the city, Jia Min asked Qian Cong and Shiliu to take some servants to the Lin Mansion to clean up the house so that they could live there.
Doctor Guo used the excuse that he was tired from taking the boat and left with Qian Cong and others. Jia Yucun wanted to visit Jia Zheng, so he followed him to Rongguo Mansion.
…
The capital was obviously much more prosperous than Yangzhou. Lin Yun rode a horse and walked on the spacious streets, curiously looking at the surrounding buildings and pedestrians.
There were a lot of people riding sedans here, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. Although he had been in this time and space for many years, some things in his previous life had been deeply rooted in his bones, and he couldn't change them even if he wanted to.
After walking for about half an hour, the team arrived at a slightly deserted street.
Jia Lian immediately introduced to Lin Yun: "Brother Yun, this is Ningrong Street, surrounded by many members of my Jia family."
Seeing the proud look on Jia Lian's face, Lin Yun couldn't help but stabbed, "This is an inheritance created by the two ancestors, but I wonder if the descendants of the Jia family can keep it?"
Jia Lian was stunned when he heard this. He turned his head and glanced at Lin Yun, thinking: "Is there something wrong with this kid's brain? How can he talk to the host like this when he is a guest for the first time?"
Lin Yun smiled coquettishly, then changed the topic and said: "Second brother Lian, I heard that there is a young master in your mansion who was born with a jade in his mouth. Can you see him today?"
Jia Lian smiled and said: "You are talking about Brother Bao. He happens to be at home today. You may have a chance to see him later."
Lin Yun thought to himself: "I just want to change the subject. It's rare to see a boy. If it were those golden girls from the Jia family, I would be happy to chat with them."
At this moment, the team in front slowly stopped. Jia Lian saw this and smiled: "Brother Yun, we are already here. Rongguo Mansion is in front of us."
