Chapter 28 The Red Chamber (28)(1/3)
&1t;script>Red Building 28
In fact, Lin Yutong’s concern for the subsequent Jia Rui incident was more out of curiosity. What was she curious about? The mirror called “Fengyue Baojian”.
But if there was such a mirror, Lin Yutong's courage could only retreat, and she really didn't dare to touch it. After all, this thing is a bit evil. Even if she had to get it, she couldn't send it back and exchange it for the ticket. What's the use of it if she wanted it?
Instead, it makes your behavior look weird and unruly.
She took these thoughts away and just stayed in the yard, waiting for news from Yangzhou.
Who knew that when this wait, spring was coming and autumn came, and the sky gradually became colder.
"About it, it's been more than half a year since I came to Beijing. A few more rains will be coming to winter. My father's letters have been reported to his safety, but things should not go well." Lin Yutong asked the house to add a charcoal basin, and the fire was already gathered. She buried peanuts and sweet potatoes inside, and the sound broke out.
Lin Yuyang has been half a head in the past six months, and is already one head taller than Lin Yu. Under the supervision of Lin Yutong, he has never relaxed in his body exercise. Gradually, he has a body of tendons coming out. He looks no longer weak, but he feels a little steadiness.
He took the conversation and nodded, "There is no news now, which is good news."
Lin Yutong agreed with this, and she no longer remembered the words in the original work. But Qin Keqing was not dead. It was proved that it was still less than time.
Even if you want to guess from Qin Keqing's illness, it will not work. Qin Keqing's number of doctors cannot be cured. It's just a heart disease. He was hanged again. Who knows how good he is to hang himself?
Even if you are anxious, you can't come.
I thought I had to wait, but within a day, Lin Pingfei ran back like a little while, "Girl, the master has been hitting someone. The master has been promoted."
Lin Yutong stood up suddenly, "So my father is going to Beijing." Amitabha Buddha was over.
"No...no..." Lin Pingzhi gasped.
"No, you said that." Lin Daiyu was also anxious, "Do you arrive in Beijing soon?"
"No!" Lin Ping took a breath and said, "The master was promoted to Governor General of Liangjiang. He has taken office. There is no need to go back to Beijing to report his duties."
"ah!"
"ah!"
The two sisters were surprised in unison.
Lin Yutong thought to herself, how was this official promoted? Why couldn't she understand? The Governor of the Two Jiangs, however, is actually a first-rank official, and is an absolute chief official.
By region, this should include Jiangxi, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, and have absolute right to speak for the military and political affairs of the three provinces. This right is not bad.
I'm afraid that Lin Ruhai not only escaped from the salt business this time, but also made great contributions. But even so, this position is too much.
He used to be a doctor in Lantai Temple, and then was the Yangzhou Salt Censor. These were all ranks, and Lin Yutong never made it clear. However, Lantai Temple is the elegant name of the Censorate, which means that Lin Yuhai was in the Central and Central Supervision Agency before, and was later appointed to the Yangzhou Salt Road for supervision.
This supervision is not a good job. For the officials below, this is to find fault.
Then, if he really monitored something, it was not surprising that he died in office.
But now that he has been promoted to the Governor, he can't wash away the traces of supervision for half his life. Who doesn't fear such a person?
The world will never fall into pies, it is really a blessing and blessing.
She was a little confused for a moment, not knowing whether it was joy or sorrow.
"So, Dad can't go to Beijing." Lin Daiyu said with disappointment and turned around and asked again, "But I want to pick us up."
"I'm afraid it's not possible." Lin Yutong whispered, "This official promotion is strange. If you jump too fast, it may not be a good thing. Who knows what other stories there are?"
Lin Daiyu sighed: "Is it really good to be a slaughter for the officials? How does this feel when you are worried?"
Lin Yutong ignored her complaint and said to Lin Ping: "Please invite someone over and ask someone to go to the Zhang family and pick up Yang Ge'er's house first."
Lin Ping responded and went there quickly.
The person Lin Ruhai called was his close follower. Lin Yutong asked him to sit down and served tea with his own hands. He said, "Dad, do you have anything to tell me."
The follower said, "Yes. The master just said, "Young Master, please wait patiently. You can rest assured that this time, your life will be free of worries. It only depends on your future merits and demerits."
Lin Yutong understood a little but didn't understand it. But as long as her life was worry-free, it didn't matter. She was originally a dying person, and as long as she lived, she would make a profit.
She said, "You go back and tell your father, don't be under pressure. We don't point to him to be a marquis and ministers, as long as we have peace. If there is something, we must take our lives as a priority. The least we will go back to our hometown to farm. As children, we will not have any complaints."
The follower's expression changed, he became solemn and nodded.
Lin Yutong asked Lin Ping to take him back to Lin Mansion to settle. After resting, he would return to Jiangnan without stopping.
What came was a verbal message, which meant that everyone was surveillance of the letter. Lin Yutong was still a little worried. But thinking about his fate, this is the best news.
"Sister said yes, no matter what, there is nothing more important than a family gathering together. Being able to farm peacefully is also a blessing." Lin Daiyu whispered.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the hurried footsteps outside. It was Lin Yuyang who was back.
The person who sent out to pick up Lin Yuyang was afraid that he had not left the alley yet, but Brother Yang had already returned. That is to say, he was rushed back after getting the news.
"You got it."
"Sister understands."
As soon as the curtain was lifted, the siblings and asked each other at the same time.
Lin Yutong pulled Lin Yuyang into the house, and Lin Daiyu poured tea first and handed it to Lin Yuyang: "Brother, slow down first, then talk."
Lin Yuyang poured tea and said, "My uncle told me. I told us not to panic. We have to look back. He said that my father has always been calm and was alert before. This time, I dare not say that I will clear the officialdom of Jiangnan for the emperor, but as long as I keep this important place, don't let those who are interested jump around in Jiangnan, it is a great achievement."
"I'm looking forward to my father's retirement and returning to Beijing." Lin Yutong shook her head and said.
Lin Yuyang smiled wryly and said, "Sister doesn't touch on external things, so you don't know. Do you think you can retreat if you want to retreat? Before, I offended so many people in Yangzhou. If I really want to retreat like this, we can't even want to live a quiet life. Even if I enter the officialdom, I will not be able to do anything in the short term."
What he didn't say was that it would be difficult to handle the marriage between his sisters and sisters. The officialdom was so cold that the tea was gone. My father was trying to fight for them. Even if something happened in office, the emperor would be able to give himself a little more to his loyalty. Only then could they have a foundation for their own career.
"Besides, if the emperor has a suitable person, he will not choose his father. The emperor's order is hard to violate, so the weight of these four words must be carefully considered by my sister." Lin Yuyang felt a little sad.
"Yes, don't think of getting off easily after getting on the boat. I should have understood this principle long ago. Now that I can't retreat, I can only cover my head and hit it forward." Lin Yutong's whole body seemed to have been drained.
Only then did she realize how ridiculous it was to rely on the power of a person to fiddle with the world. Things were completely out of her control.
"Sister, I'm afraid we can't go back to Jiangnan for the time being." Lin Yuyang said with a wry smile.
"Then wait quietly. Wait until my father returns to Beijing." Lin Yutong said.
As she said that, she stood up and sang: "Sister-in-law Ping, you go back to our house later. I have something to take to my father. You go and send it over and ask someone to take it back to Jiangnan."
Sister Ping responded.
"What is it?" Lin Daiyu asked, "I'll take the needle and thread I made for my father."
"Okay." Lin Yutong responded. But she thought in her heart that she had collected the rainwater that Xia Tian and Lin Daiyu had thought of a way to pour it into the spring water in the space. She took it back. With Lin Ruhai's temperament, she must be used for making tea. She was willing to drink it by herself. If she could drink a small cup every day, she would not be able to make a big mistake. In the future, someone would send it back and forth. Anyway, it was inconvenient to send it back and forth, so she just thought it was a message.
The more you think about it, the more you think it is feasible.
She beat Lin Yuyang and Lin Daiyu: "Brother Yang will pack up a few articles of your homework and take them back to my father to see, so that you will know if you have any benefits. Daiyu will pack up your needlework."
After the two left, she took the girl to dig out all the rain and dew from the ground, and opened it in the name of checking the quality of the water, and replaced it, and ordered people to seal it up again. This water was not afraid of poisoning people inside. It was safer.
After Sister Ping left, Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yuyang saw that he was busy in the yard and there was no news about the Jia family. He couldn't help but smile and said, "It's spreading everywhere, but I don't expect that the Jia family still has no movement."
"I don't even have a court person, what can I know? How can I go?" Lin Yutong shook her head, "It's better to know later. We can be quieter. Otherwise, it's a chequet and a banquet, which will make a fuss."
Lin Daiyu followed, pursed her lips and said nothing.
As soon as he said he wanted to be quiet, he saw Wang Xifeng flying over and dragging Lin Yutong away: "My eldest sister, come with me quickly. Someone from the palace came from the front, saying that it was from the queen's harem, and he was going to take you into the palace to talk. Tell me, what did you say? I still don't know where the wind came from."
"Good sister-in-law, you should be slower." Lin Yutong smiled, "At least, ask me to clean up." As he said that, he pointed to the soil on his body.
"Oh, you're still a big girl, why are you so dirty?" Wang Xifeng quickly pushed her and directed the girls like Chun'er, "You're going to change your master quickly."
Lin Yutong entered the house, and Wang Xifeng asked Lin Daiyu and Lin Yuyang, "What's going on? But what happened? Something happened to my uncle's uncle."
Lin Daiyu looked at Lin Yuyang, saw Lin Yuyang nodding slightly, and then said, "It's not a big deal. My father has just been promoted to Governor of Liangjiang. Maybe the palace wants us to come into the palace to see it to show his kindness."
Wang Xifeng was stunned at first, then smiled happily, "What a happy event! Why don't you tell me?"
"Isn't it too late?" Lin Yutong came out of the house and smiled, "I learned the news and sent the sender away, and you're here."
The three of them took the girl and followed Wang Xifeng to the inner courtyard.
"This is a great joy, thanks to you being tense." Wang Xifeng looked at Lin Yutong and twitched her mouth.
"Sister-in-law, I don't think you are an outsider." Lin Yutong looked at Wang Xifeng and said, "There is a word called 'official world', and there is another word called 'close conclusion'. The ups and downs of the officialdom, and it is difficult to make a conclusion without lying in the coffin. It is too early to say that the success or failure of merits and demerits are."
Wang Xifeng paused, "You are trying to scare me. Going up further can be a title of marquis and ministers. What are you afraid of?"
"Sister-in-law, the things outside are not as simple as you think. In the officialdom, people who dare to collect any money but don't dare to offend anyone will be seen in the future. You will never hide away. From ancient times to the present, how many such people have been better. If you don't report it to the daily today, what's better?" Lin Yutong looked at Wang Xifeng with a deep meaning.
Wang Xifeng's feet froze, and these words were a bit profound. She knew that Lin Yutong had never been a person who could speak nonsense.
Lin Yutong arrived here just by saying a word. When she remembered Wang Xifeng's lawsuit, she mentioned it.
He understood everything so clearly. If she dared to reach out in the future, it would be no pity.
Lin Daiyu glanced at Lin Yutong, then at Wang Xifeng, and lowered her eyelids. She knew that it was her sister who was guiding her second sister-in-law. She was also kind-hearted.
By the time they arrived, Jia Mu, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Wang, Mrs. Wang, and Jia Zhen had already arrived. Obviously, they were a little confused about this sudden imperial decree.
This father-in-law felt even more inexplicable. You said such a big thing, and the previous dynasty had spread all over the past dynasty, but the Jia family still knew nothing. It was really a joke.
Seeing Lin Yutong and the other two coming, the father-in-law stood up with a smile and said, "I'll give you a greeting to the girl and the son."
Lin Yuyang naturally stood up, held the person in hand, and stuffed a purse over, "Sir, the inner minister, is destroying us juniors."
