Red Mansion Cat Master

Lin Ruhai received the news two days earlier, and took someone to meet him at the pier, but saw Jia Lian disembark with his father on his back.

In the early years, when Lin Ruhai married Jia Min, he had dealt with this brother-in-law and had a bad impression of him.Although this person is the eldest son of the Rong family and inherits the Dukedom of the Rong country, he does not have the demeanor of the eldest son of the family. He is lustful and has low morals.Lin Ruhai was very puzzled why his mother-in-law sent him to visit his wife.Just ask him to come this time, and don't make any trouble.

Jia Lian came to Lin Ruhai with Jia She on her back, and smiled awkwardly: "Greetings to uncle, because it's inconvenient right now, nephew will salute you later."

"It's all from my own family, so don't be polite. Your father is..." Lin Ruhai glanced at Jia She, only seeing his forehead, thinking what he should do again.

"Father, he's seasick, and he's been a little weak recently." Jia Lian quickly explained.

Lin Ruhai thought Jia Lian was looking for an excuse to perfuse him, and didn't intend to expose it. He stroked his beard and nodded, signaling Jia Lian to get in the car quickly, and we'll talk about everything after we get home.

Among her natal family, the one Jia Min dislikes the most is her elder brother Jia She.But now it's better to have someone come than not to come. It would be good to meet my eldest brother and ask my mother how she is doing recently.

Jia Min looked left and right, but the news came that her elder brother was seasick and couldn't come to see her.

"What about seasickness? I'm probably messing around with some maid again, and my energy is exhausted." Jia Min frowned and said angrily.

Lin Ruhai hurriedly took his wife's hand to persuade her not to get angry: "It's okay to wait another day, I'll call your nephew first."

Jia Lian told his aunt exactly what Jia Mu had said.

Jia Min heard tears in her eyes and was very excited, "It's hard for my mother to still miss me as an unfilial daughter. Since I got married, I haven't had the chance to see her old man, and my heart is full of guilt!"

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "When my aunt is ill, my nephew will come and ask my aunt to go back in person, okay?"

Jia Min looked at Lin Ruhai.

"Okay, okay, of course, I will accompany you there." Lin Ruhai held Jia Min's cold hand, feeling a little heartbroken.

Jia Min smiled gratifiedly, and she said to Jia Lian: "Tell me quickly, how is the family doing? How is the mother's health, and the second brother is still a consul in the Ministry of Industry? And Baoyu..." Agitated, Jia Min I couldn't help coughing twice.

Jia Lian then explained the situation of everyone in the family, detailing everything.

After dismissing Jia Lian, Jia Min was a little tired, so she lay down with Lin Ruhai's support.

"My elder brother's matter is a joke for my husband." Jia Min was so angry that he forced a smile.

Lin Ruhai shook his head, "It's nothing to be a husband, they are all my brothers and sisters. It is his wish that he is willing to come to see you. He is your real brother after all, so let's take it easy."

Jia Min sighed helplessly when he thought of the inexperienced elder brother, and reluctantly nodded to Lin Ruhai.

……

The sun is setting and the sky is getting dark.When Xuan Loufang woke up, he opened his eyes and found that the environment had changed. When he got up and asked, he realized that he was already in the Lin Mansion in Yangzhou.

Zongzhu is going to inform Huilian that the second master is awake.

Xuanlou took two deep breaths and called Zongzhu back.

"Let's make a pot of hot tea first, and I'll take it easy when I'm waiting for the master."

After opening the palm bamboos, Xuan Lou meditated directly on the bed, absorbing the spiritual energy around him.Unexpectedly, the aura in Lin Mansion is as pure and thick as Rong Guo Mansion.Although this bit of aura is not enough to heal the damage to his soul, it can still maintain his mental and physical strength.

His body was getting weaker and weaker, time was running out, he had to find a way to find Zhong Lingshi as soon as possible.

After regaining some energy, Jia Amnesty ate three steamed fish in one go.Then he asked Jia Lian to get a map of Yangzhou.Counting the villages and counties around Yangzhou City, there are tens of thousands of miles in radius.In a short period of time, without any clues, it is simply impossible to find the Zhong Lingshi in such a large area.

When cats hunt, they are extremely patient with the prey they seek.The same is true for Xuan Lou, the more critical the moment is, the more calm and composed he must be.

Xuan Lou stared at the map for a long time, looking for a breakthrough.

Jia Lian chattered on the side: "The aunt's illness is really serious. The master missed the chance to see her on the first day, which made her a little disappointed. You have to go to see her early tomorrow, she is looking forward to seeing you. "

Xuan Lou nodded indiscriminately, and continued to think about his affairs.

The spiritual power possessed by Zhong Lingshi can nourish the surrounding creatures.The place where it is located must have beautiful mountains and rivers, rich in rare grasses, and talented people.

Xuan Lou carried the map, took a pen and went out, asked two young servants from Lin's mansion nearby for questioning, and drew circles on the map for a long time.He threw the marked base map to Jia Lian and ordered him to lead a search tomorrow.

"What are you looking for?" Jia Lian held the base map in his hands, very puzzled.

"The stone that the old doctor wore around his neck."

"Where can I find it? Besides, even if there is one, my son has never seen what the stone looks like. By the way, where is the stone?" Jia Lian kept asking.

"I lost it. My master likes it, so I want to get another one. Since he has the habit of wearing stones around his neck, maybe the people in that place will do the same, so you can look for it accordingly." Xuan Lou perfunctory him, So he urged him to go to rest quickly, "If you can't finish running these places, you are not allowed to come back, you must find them for me."

Seeing that the master was serious, Jia Lian had no choice but to go back to the room with a bitter face.He knew that the master was not so kind to reward Qiutong to him, but wanted to treat him like a mule.

After waking up the next morning, Lin Ruhai was worried that Jia Amnesty would delay the time again.In order to prevent Jia Min from getting angry again, he stopped talking about the hospitality etiquette, went to Jia Amnesty as soon as possible, and led him there himself.As soon as he entered the house, he found that there were no beautiful maids in Jia She's house, not even a mother in the house.

Lin Ruhai only saw two ordinary-looking servants surrounding Jia She, helping him get dressed.

In the past few days on the boat, Xuanlou's body has been sluggish, he has lost a lot of weight, his face is slightly paler, and his figure is more slender.

Seeing that his spirit was really not good, Lin Ruhai was taken aback.Could it be that, as Lian's nephew said, elder brother gets seasick?

Lin Ruhai's memory of Jia Amnesty is still in the early years.When he saw it seriously today, he was astonished and changed a lot.Not to mention anything else, just looking at Jia She's elegant appearance, Lin Ruhai liked it a little.A person's etiquette and temperament are very important. Judging from the current performance of the elder brother, it seems that he has 'reformed the evil and returned to the good'. Otherwise, it will be a long way to come to Yangzhou. How could he not even bring a beautiful maid with him.

Xuanlou turned his haughty eyes and looked around Lin Ruhai. "Wait in a hurry?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head hurriedly, and greeted: "I heard that my elder brother is unwell, so I came to visit."

"Just take care of sister Min, don't worry about me." Xuanlou has always been used to doing things in his own way, and he doesn't like to be cared for.Speaking of this, Xuan Lou thought of something even more ridiculous.When he had the body of a cat, he would use his chin to rub against things. Some people liked to use words like "cute" and "gentle" to describe him, thinking that he was trying to please humans.

hehehe...

This is completely different from his intention of action!

When the cats use their chins to rub against things, they will leave the smell from the chins on the objects, thereby occupying the territory and planning the area for their safe activities.Humph, humans always look down on them!

Of course, using your chin to leave a smell is not as strong as using urine.

Last night, he had made two bubbles in Lin's mansion.

Tonight, Xuanlou will continue.

He naturally wants to occupy Lin's mansion, which is so full of spiritual energy!

When Lin Ruhai led Jia Amnesty to meet Jia Min, he walked side by side with him.Although Lin Ruhai is slightly shorter than him, he is also a thin and handsome person.Standing together, the two of them looked like the stars and the moon shining together, which attracted the attention of many servant girls from the house.

Every morning, Daiyu would come to Jia Min's room to serve the decoction on time.After Jia Min drank the medicine, Daiyu would immediately stuff a candied fruit into her mouth, then sit obediently by Jia Min's bed and read to her.

Jia Min was weak and lying on the couch, his face was almost thin and thin. Whenever he listened to Daiyu's recitation, there was a forced smile on the corner of his mouth.

When Xuanlou and Lin Ruhai arrived, they met this situation.Xuanlou couldn't help but recall his childhood.His mother could be described as a beauty among cats, with black fur and round eyes that glowed green, she was extremely beautiful.The mother fed their five brothers and sisters in one litter, and she did not hesitate to work hard.She needs to groom them with her tongue every day, keep them warm with her body, and teach them to hunt...

Daiyu saw that the person beside her father was unfamiliar, she guessed his age, guessed his identity, and hurriedly got up to salute.

"All blessings, Father, all blessings, Uncle!" The voice was extremely sweet and soft.

Xuanlou came back to his senses, looked at Daiyu with a smile, and sighed that this girl's appearance should be regarded as the cutest among human beings.

Lin Ruhai was happy to hear that, stroked his beard and said a few words modestly, and then praised Yingchun for being very sensible.

Thinking of Yingchun, Xuan Lou smiled at Daiyu and said, "Why don't you go and play with your sister Yingchun, she wakes up early now."

Daiyu glanced at her mother, and shook her head at Xuanlou: "My niece hasn't finished reading the book for my mother, I'll go there when I finish."

"Good boy, you go, mother has something to tell your uncle." Jia Min said.

Daiyu then nodded obediently and withdrew.

Jia Min raised his hand to look at Lin Ruhai, and asked him to avoid it for the time being.Lin Ruhai nodded, and asked his wife to let her go.

"Brother!" Jia Min called out weakly, with two lines of tears streaming down his face, "Little sister is running out of time."

Xuan Lou looked at the lifeless Jia Min and frowned.He didn't like to care about things outside his body, but he just couldn't see a mother so sad and miserable.

"Do you have something to say?"

Jia Min was surprised, she didn't expect her elder brother to be so direct.As soon as the elder brother entered the door, she felt that the elder brother seemed to be different from before.That's right, they haven't seen each other for more than [-] years, and there will always be changes.

"My sister won't be able to hold on for long. I just blame myself for not being able to live up to my expectations. I married such a good man, such a good husband, but I didn't live a good life with him. Even my only son..." Jia Min I can't cry.

Xuan Lou listened silently, without saying a word.

Instead, Jia Min wanted to say more: "This child Daiyu has been weak and sickly since she was a child, and she cannot stop taking medicine every day. I am afraid that one day, she will be like the previous child, and she will not be able to survive if she is not careful.

I am ashamed of the ancestors of the Lin family, and even more so of my husband.It's all my fault that I don't live up to expectations. We have been husband and wife for more than 20 years, but I have not been able to leave a root for the Lin family.If he blamed me, I would feel better, but he insisted that it was his own fault.I really hate myself for delaying him. I'm sorry for the Lin family, I'm sorry for him, and I'm sorry for my dead son.What's the use of me being alive, it's boring, it's been boring for a long time..." Jia Min spoke of the excitement, and began to pant quickly, and couldn't make a sound.

Xuan Lou heard that Jia Min wanted to die, and looked at her silently, feeling a little speechless for a while.Don't human beings claim to be the smartest, why do they want to commit suicide when they encounter a little trouble?

Under the consolation of the maid, Jia Min gradually calmed down.He began to chatter with Xuanlou about his family's family affairs again, and his words revealed a deep sense of sadness, which was extremely negative.At the end, Jia Min mentioned Daiyu, intending to entrust her daughter to his mother to take care of after his death.

"Earlier, I wrote to my mother vaguely, and she should understand my difficulties."

Jia Min cried for a while, and looked up at him eagerly because he didn't hear his elder brother's voice.

"Finished?" Xuan Lou asked.

Jia Min froze for a moment, and nodded while weeping sadly: "My sister is so unbelievable, I made my elder brother laugh."

"It's not ridiculous," Xuanlou pulled a chair and sat down.Under Jia Min's surprised gaze, Xuanlou said again, "It's sad!"

Jia Min stared at him, carefully thinking about the meaning behind the word "sad", isn't it referring to her.Yes, she is not funny at all, she is extremely pathetic!

Xuanlou realized that Jia Min had obviously misunderstood his meaning, and explained: "Just because of these petty things in the family, you became depressed and ruined your life, isn't it sad? What is it? Your life is your own. If you don't want it, no one can save you." Come back. Don't expect any words of mercy or comfort from me, you want to die yourself, and no one can persuade you."

"I—" Jia Min's eyes widened in grievance. After she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say.

Xuan Lou cut off the conversation and said: "You don't need to defend yourself. I asked the boy in the house yesterday evening. They said that your illness is false or false. It is a strange disease that cannot be explained. I think it is clearly you. I can't think about it myself."

Jia Min was extremely aggrieved, clutching her chest and complaining, "Brother came all the way here just to watch my sister joke? Whose elder brother would say that about his sister who is seriously ill? Brother, you are even more of a jerk than before. You don't even have a brother-sister relationship." I don't care about it."

"Because you are sick, let everyone let you go. You don't want to think about where you are wrong. Your daughter is only under five years old, and she will serve soup and medicine by your bed. Who cares about her when you are watching you die? gone?"

When Xuanlou mentioned Daiyu, Jia Min was speechless.

She couldn't hold back anymore, and hit her chest with her fist in anger: "Go, go!"

Without further ado, Xuanlou picked up his robe and got up to go out. He happened to collide with Lin Ruhai who was outside the door.

Lin Ruhai was eavesdropping on the speech of the two brothers and sisters just now, and his angry expression was mixed with embarrassment.

Xuanlou glanced at Lin Ruhai, and walked straight out of the courtyard.

Lin Ruhai was not reconciled, so he hurriedly chased after him, and grabbed Xuan Lou to reason with him. "She's sick like that, and time is running out. Why do she say those hurtful things?"

Xuanlou glanced at Lin Ruhai and sneered, "You are also a fool."
