Jia Zheng: "Brother-in-law, you are returning to Beijing this time..."
Lin Ruhai: "I came back this time to hand over my duties. Your Majesty intends for me to serve as an official in Beijing. The specific position has not been decided yet."
Jia Zheng beamed with joy: "Oh! Okay! Although Yangzhou has good soil and water, it still has a better future in Beijing. Congratulations, brother-in-law!"
Lin Ruhai: "Thank you for your kind words from my second brother-in-law. By the way, why don't you see Baoyu?"
As soon as Baoyu was mentioned, Jia Zheng's face suddenly darkened: "Don't mention that traitor! I don't read good books by sages, but I read miscellaneous books!"
After all, Lin Ruhai was born in Tanhua, and her vision was not comparable to that of those bookworms and old antiques, so he comforted him: "There are three thousand avenues, and one can draw parallels by analogy. If you love reading miscellaneous books, you may not be unable to make achievements. Brother-in-law, can you call Baoyu? After all, I have been away from Beijing for more than ten years.
, I have never seen this child.”
Jia Zheng: "Come here! Go and call Baoyu over."
Not long after, a figure walked in from outside the door, wearing bright red arrow sleeves and silk satin, which looked very noble.
Jia Baoyu stood in the hall neatly and saluted: "My son has met the master and uncle!"
Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Baoyu and praised him: "This child is really good-looking! He deserves to be the queen of Rongguo."
When Jia Zheng heard this, a smile appeared on his sullen face.
Lin Ruhai said again: "I heard that Baoyu doesn't like the meaning of scriptures, but you like to read miscellaneous books. But since miscellaneous books can be handed down from ancient times, they must have some essence. I wonder what books you read?"
Baoyu was scared to death of Jia Zheng, and he was beaten every day during this period, so he did not dare to lie in front of Jia Zheng. He answered honestly: "Read some poems, unofficial history, myths and legends, biographies..."
Lin Ruhai patiently chatted with Jia Baoyu, but as time passed, Lin Ruhai's face gradually became ugly.
You can read the miscellaneous notes, but even if you can understand some truth after reading this biography, it is still not in vain.
But what about Jia Baoyu? You just watch music? You don’t even think about it. What are you using your brain for?
Lin Ruhai doesn't expect Jia Baoyu to be able to read miscellaneous books and see a master of Luban's way and Xinglin's master like Xue Hong. But you must at least have some achievements, right?
Jia Baoyu's qualifications are indeed rare in the world. After all, he has some background. His memory and understanding are both excellent, but if you don't use them in the right place, you might as well not have these qualifications!
Although Lin Ruhai's face became increasingly ugly, Jia Baoyu became more and more elated.
Jia Baoyu thought to himself: "I originally thought that Uncle Lin was one of those silverfish, but he turned out to be such a person. He has dabbled in hundreds of schools of thought and knows everything. He is really a wonderful person."
Jia Zheng didn't want Jia Baoyu to be embarrassed, so he quickly made an excuse and sent him away.
In order to ease the embarrassment, Lin Ruhai took the initiative to talk about other things, mentioning Xue Hong's march northward.
When Jia Zheng heard this, he felt extremely sad. Wen Neng Anbang wrote articles, Wu Neng mounted his horse and led troops to kill the enemy! He was also proficient in machine smelting, and he was the master of Xinglin! Isn't this someone else's child?
Thinking of this, Jia Zheng's anger increased by three points. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Ruhai was still here, he would probably have taken Jia Baoyu to the ancestral hall to talk about ten yuan alone.
Lin Ruhai cupped his hands towards Jia Zheng and said, "Second brother-in-law, now that Ruhai has returned to Beijing, and my daughter has been causing trouble in your house for a long time, you should follow me back to Lin's house."
Jia Zheng: "It should be so."
Lin Ruhai did not go to see Jia She because Lin Ruhai knew that she would go and Jia She would not meet him. It was not that Jia She and Jia Min had a bad relationship.
On the contrary, Jia She's relationship with Jia Min is closer than that with Jia Zheng. However, in order to repay the original political turmoil, Jia She has not interacted with any important officials externally, except for gatherings that he could not refuse.
.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to reassure Emperor Longqing, Jia She completely let himself go, pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, displaying his lustful and greedy image to the fullest.
There is no way, Jia She's generation is destined to have no future. The so-called shortcomings must be acknowledged and stand firm when being beaten. Since we were on the wrong team in the first place, we must stand at attention when being beaten.
And Jia Baoyu's generation is even more ridiculous. Originally, the Jia family still had hope of reviving, but in the end, Jia Baoyu was born with a jade in his mouth! The whole world knew about it.
God knows how frightened Jia She was when Jia Baoyu was born. He was born with an abnormality and was born with a jade in his mouth. This was an inappropriate signal of rebellion!!
But fortunately, in the end, Jia Baoyu was proven to have no ambitions and was reincarnated as a pervert. Now Jia She was relieved, but he also gave up completely. Let the Jia family do whatever they want!
Even in the original work, the defeat of the Jia family was mostly related to the Xungui lineage. The Xungui lineage blocked the way of Emperor Longqing! So it had to be uprooted.
Isn’t it true that some people really think that the Jia Mansion’s house raids were because they killed a few people and interfered with a few lawsuits?
Of the ten officials in Beijing, at least nine have done the same thing as Jia's family. It's just that Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng are not smart enough to leave usury money behind, while the others have no trace at all.
Lin Ruhai followed Jia Zheng to Rongxi Hall and met Jia's mother.
This meeting inevitably led to another round of crying and wiping of tears.
After Lin Ruhai stated that he wanted to take Daiyu away, Jia Mu even tried to obstruct her in every possible way.
She even said such words as "This old woman can't live for a few more years, so let my Yu'er stay with me more."
But after Lin Ruhai saw what Jia Baoyu was, she gave up completely. Even if I marry my daughter to a seventh-grade county magistrate, I will never marry that Jia Baoyu.
I originally thought that even if Jia Baoyu could not be an official due to special reasons, as long as he had the ability to be rich and noble for a lifetime and protect Daiyu, Lin Ruhai would accept it.
But after meeting Jia Baoyu and chatting for a few words, I basically understood Jia Baoyu's character.
You only have a good skin, but inside you are really rough!
Guan Hui pretends to be crazy and acts stupid, but in fact he has no responsibility!
Jia Baoyu has almost been through the minefields of being a son-in-law candidate because he has a weak personality, cannot manage a household, has no skills, and is lustful!
Although Lin Daiyu's dowry is enough to make her rich for a lifetime, it is surprising that Jia Baoyu, with such a weak and incompetent character, can protect Daiyu from being bullied!
Lin Ruhai gritted her teeth and tried her best to disobey Jia Mu and take Daiyu back. You have Zhang Liang's plan, I have a wall ladder!
Lin Ruhai looked sad and coughed: "My mother-in-law said it was out of filial piety. Ruhai shouldn't have said goodbye. But... cough cough cough!!"
"Over the years I have been in Yangzhou, the root of my disease has finally come down, cough cough cough...my health is getting worse day by day. Daiyu left me when I was young, but now I finally have a family...like the sea... cough cough cough
!!”
As she kept coughing, Lin Ruhai's face quickly turned pale, and her words and breathing were intermittent.
Daiyu quickly threw herself into Lin Ruhai's arms, tears falling down.
Lin Ruhai's heart felt like a knife when she saw Daiyu crying, but since the play had begun, it had to be finished. At worst, she could just go home and apologize to her precious daughter.
All the women in the Jia family's back house could not help but sob when they saw Lin Ruhai's voice sounding like a cuckoo weeping blood.
Seeing that the matter had come to this, Jia Mu had no choice but to agree to let Daiyu go back with Lin Ruhai.
Just as Lin Ruhai led Daiyu away, after Jia Baoyu learned the letter, he threw the jade and pretended to be fainted, trying to force Jia Mu to get Daiyu back.
Originally, Jia Zheng's anger was at its peak. Seeing Jia Baoyu's virtue, he directly treated him using the family tradition.
After returning to the Lin Mansion, Daiyu saw with her own eyes that Lin Ruhai's complexion quickly returned to rosy, and she no longer wheezed or coughed.
Daiyu blinked and stared at Lin Ruhai with her big, watery eyes, as if she wanted an explanation.
Lin Ruhai faced his little cotton-padded jacket and said kindly: "It's just some tricks in officialdom. Daddy is in good health."
Only then did Daiyu realize that she had been deceived by Lin Ruhai, and she immediately became unhappy.
Lin Ruhai quickly hugged Daiyu, apologizing and explaining. As for the Confucian strict father theory, Lin Ruhai sneered. I only have this precious daughter, if I don't love her, who should I love!
