Chapter 18 The Red Chamber (18)
&1t;script>Red Building 18
Wen Tianfang was a little surprised when he heard his personal guard come in and report that it was Lin Ruhai and Lin's son who came to visit.
Didn’t Lin Hai say that it was just a few servants with their children?
Lin Ruhai seemed to have only one daughter in his life. Why did his son appear now? He was on the southern coast in his previous life and never returned to Beijing. These were just something that others had said, and it would be fine if he had never heard of it. But he never took it to heart. It would be difficult for people who had never met each other. If the King of Nan'an had not been defeated and captured in his own way, he might not have remembered that he had such a person. Not to mention the affairs of the other person. In this life, he would not want to waste his time in the south, and was dragged to death by a group of idiots. Then he found a way to return to the capital.
Could it be that I took this job and changed Lin Ruhai's fate? Because I was so fast this time, the other party had not had time to kill me. Then, Lin Ruhai's children would benefit, and it would be a waste of time.
After thinking about it this way, my heart calmed down.
Thinking about it again, it proves that he is not young at all. Why is Lin Hai still saying that he is a child? It can be seen that he is worried about being a father. He suddenly felt uncomfortable. He was alone, and his mother was absent, and he didn't even have a close aunt or aunt. He felt a lot of envy in his heart.
"Please come in." Wen Tianfang sighed, put down the book in his hand, and thought for a while before saying that since he promised the adults in his family to take care of these children, he could not refuse. See if there was any difficulty and save the trouble.
Lin Yuyang entered the cabin and saw a man who was seven feet tall and a little black-faced. He should be seventeen or eighteen years old, but he obviously looked extremely mature and steady. Is this Jing Haibo?
So young!
He restrained the expression on his face and bowed and bowed: "I have met Mr. Bo."
Wen Tianfang saw that he was a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, and he was really a child. He smiled sarcastically and asked Lin Yuyang to sit down, and then said, "But there is any difficulty, just say it."
Lin Yuyang smiled embarrassedly: "We siblings didn't know that my father had such an arrangement, but I only heard from the housekeeper when we got on the boat. I was taken care of by my uncle all the way, and the boy was at least more at ease." As he said that, he signaled Lin Ping to deliver the food box, "This is made by the family, and it is better than the food bought along the coast. I would like to express my gratitude, so don't dislike the simplicity."
No gold or silver, I send a home-cooked food box.
This is because I can't even refuse to accept it.
Wen Tianfang was stunned for a moment and accepted it, "thank you, thank you."
The two met for the first time and had a brief conversation, then Lin Yuyang offered to say goodbye.
Wen Tianfang sent the man to the deck until he watched him get on the Lin family's boat and turned around and came back.
The food tastes good, and it is many times better than the chefs on the boat. The meat that I can eat recently is the fish caught in the river. The supply on the dock is very limited.
It seems so delicious, there is really no.
"How many children are there on the Lin family's boat?" Wen Tianfang asked the guards.
"Mr. Lin has one son and two daughters. I heard that the eldest girl and the young master just now have only recognized her." The guard told Wen Tianfang the gossip about the Lin family in Yangzhou.
Lin Yutong and Lin Daiyu also listened to Lin Yuyang talking about this Jing Haibo with relish.
"...so high!" Lin Yuyang stood up, raised his arms and gestured. He was very envious.
When a boy reaches a certain age, he envies and yearns for other people's heights.
Lin Yutong smiled and said, "You eat an extra bowl of rice every day. When you are fine, you will jump and reach the top of the door frame. In just three or two years, you will be so tall." Lin Ruhai was already tall, and in my memory, both concubines were very tall. There is no reason why she and her younger brother were not tall. When it comes to tutoring, the boys grow up like they are plucking, as if they have to rise up in time.
Lin Daiyu is now familiar with her elder brother and sister on the boat. She never knew that she had a very naive side to look at her steady brother.
She smiled and said, "I'm watching my brother eat today, can I eat one more bowl?"
"Give me aside." Lin Yuyang smiled and said, "Sister watches me eat all day long. If someone is staring at me, how dare I move my chopsticks?"
Lin Yutong glared at me. Perhaps this child was afraid of hard life when he was a child, and now he hates vegetarian food and prefers meat. This is unbalanced nutrition. It is like Lin Daiyu, who wants to hide when he sees meat. It is completely two extremes.
"No food is allowed." Lin Yutong's main task on the boat was to watch them eat.
It is not sad to have someone to accompany you. With Wen Tianfang's care, he is safe all the way. Lin Yuyang visited several times, and the two were familiar with each other. It is not considered as if they were deliberately making friends, but they had a friendship with each other, so it would be easy to talk to each other again. This was all done by Lin Yutong's younger brother. For such a person who had never appeared in the Red Mansion, it does not mean that he is not important. The narratives about the Jia family in the Red Mansion are extremely ambiguous. However, Lin Yutong knew deeply that this world is not the only one of the Jia family.
In general, there have been no gains along the way. In addition to making friends with such a close minister, trusted minister, the two brothers and sisters and Lin Daimei are also familiar with each other.
When we arrived at the pier in Tongzhou, the servants from the Jia family came to pick them up.
This time, the famous figures of the Jia family came, and it is up to everyone.
Lin Yutong didn't see her and just asked Sister Ping to beat her. Although she would live in the Jia family, it did not prevent her from returning to the Lin family's house first.
The house was cleaned up before the New Year. It was okay to live in it. There were people left in the house and now they are waiting on the shore.
"Sister." Lin Daiyu was a little nervous, "Aren't we going to the grandfather's house?"
"There is no reason to drag your luggage and take a boat of servants to your relatives' house." Lin Yutong comforted.
Outside, Sister Ping looked at the sedan chairs brought by the Jia family, and her eyes flashed with disdain. She really regarded her little master as a striking Qiufeng. She frowned and said in embarrassment: "The whole ship of luggage must be allowed to move us home."
"Will Mr. Lin go back to Beijing?" Lai asked in surprise. Otherwise, how could he move?
Sister Ping smiled and said, "I'll go back to Beijing wherever I can. They are things that little masters often use."
Everyone was a little shocked. They were stumped for a moment.
At this time, a teenager came out of the cabin, wearing a robe of woven clouds, a cloak of fox fur, and a white jade crown on his head. He looked clear and bright, and he was outstanding.
It is said that Baoyu, the young master at home, was born well, but now when I saw this, I know what it means to have someone outside of him.
When the young master told the servants of the Lin family to pick up the luggage, a team of soldiers came to help. Then the young master smiled and spoke with a man in his uncle's uniform, looking very familiar with each other.
"Let this team of people escort you all the way." Wen Tianfang told Lin Yuyang.
Lin Yuyang glanced at the cabin and said that the officers and soldiers were all going to escort the tax silver. If this person was taken out, if something went wrong, it would not only implicate the uncle, but also not be able to fall into trouble for his own family. He really didn't dare to make any decisions about this matter.
Wen Tianfang saw Lin Yuyang's actions and subconsciously glanced at the cabin. He only glanced at the door of the warehouse with red embroidered shoes and a piece of sky-blue skirt.
Lin Yutong saw someone coming and hurriedly hid in. Since the person had already seen him and had a kind help, she did not refuse and said directly: "That's thankful to Mr. Uncle." She also said to her younger brothers, "My uncle is naturally the priority. This group of helping brothers are probably Mr. Uncle Master's servants. You just thank Mr. Uncle Master for his kindness."
Lin Yuyang suddenly realized that this entourage was only responsible for the safety of this uncle. Whatever they were doing now was Wen Tianfang’s private affairs. He bowed and said, “Thank you then.”
Wen Tianfang looked deeply at the direction of the cabin. This girl was probably the eldest daughter of the Lin family. She was a smart and transparent person.
After they had agreed to wait until Lin Yuyang had settled, they came to visit him. The two of them were polite and said goodbye.
Lai everyone wanted to come over to talk, but Lin Yuyang just stopped seeing him and returned to the cabin. After a while, he helped a girl with a sky-blue dress and a hat come out. The person following behind was supported by Zijuan, and Lai everyone knew who this was.
The one in front is the big girl from the Lin family, and the one behind is Lin Daiyu.
She wanted to step forward, but the Lin family's servants were layered and she couldn't rely on them at all. It was not until she watched the people get on the carriage that she came to the carriage.
"I'm paying homage to the eldest girl." Lai everyone was blessed outside the carriage and said with a smile: "The old lady is looking forward to it at home..."
Lin Yutong didn't talk to her and said directly: "I just came to the capital and haven't entered the house yet. When I'm done, I'll go to pay my respects to the old lady."
It was everyone's anxious, but before she could speak, she saw several more decent women being brought over.
This sounds so amazing, it is actually a person from Zhang Xueshu’s mansion.
"Uncle and grandpa are in good health." I heard the big girl greeting me.
Then she suddenly realized that Mr. Zhang was Mr. Lin’s uncle.
It seems that the Lin family is not the only one in Beijing.
Seeing the Lin family's convoy leaving in a mighty manner, Lai suddenly realized that he had to go back and talk to the old lady quickly.
Everyone in the Jia family was called by the old lady and said that there were only tourists arriving.
Jia Baoyu was so happy that he kept asking where he had gone.
I didn't want to wait, but I could only rely on everyone in a hurry.
"Why? Didn't the ship arrive?" Jia Mu asked hurriedly.
A sarcastic smile flashed across Mrs. Wang's mouth. Such a hurry may not necessarily bring appreciation. Isn't this just asking someone to come back?
Jia Baoyu suddenly changed his face: "It must be this old slave who went out to act like a mighty man again, annoying Lin Meimei. So, she won't come to our house."
What a stupid thing!
Everyone almost fainted in one breath. No one from the Jia family is so disgusted.
