Winning every step of the Red Mansion

170

Because Jia Amnesty got the letter, he ordered someone to ride a fast horse to deliver the letter to Jia Min.Besides, now that the decree has come, no one will restrict Jia Min and others from entering and leaving the mansion.Hearing that Lin Ruhai was coming back, Jia Min was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered people to clean up the mansion. When Lin Ruhai returned, he ordered people to go to the official road to meet Lin Ruhai, while he took his children and waited for the letter in the mansion. Waiting quietly for Lin Ruhai to return home.

Lin Ruhai returned to Yangzhou, thinking that he and his wife and children would soon be parted for a year.I can't help but feel a little sad in my heart.On the official road, I met my old servant again, and my heart felt hot again.He even urged the horse to rush to the mansion.After entering the hall, he saw Jia Min with his children waiting for him to come back.

Everyone has been separated for many days, but when they met today, thousands of words were stuck in their throats, and for a while, they didn't know where to start.There were tears in Jia Min's eyes, and Nuonuo only called out "Master" a few times, and the tears fell down in clusters.

At this time, everyone was infected by the atmosphere and fell silent for a while.Suddenly I heard a soft and waxy child's voice: "Madam, don't cry! Smile, father is back, smile."

Lin Ruhai lowered his head and saw the little girl holding Jia Min's hand while tilting her head to look at herself.With clear eyes and thin eyebrows, he was looking at himself with a smile on his face.Just now he hid his body behind Jia Min, but Lin Ruhai didn't notice it for a while.

Jia Min quickly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, took the little girl's hand and said: "Yu'er used to ask my father where he was all day long, why is he shy when he sees his father today, don't hurry up Salute to father."

Hearing what Jia Min said, Daiyu walked two steps forward with a smile, bowed respectfully to Lin Ruhai and said, "Father." The voice was sweet, crunchy and childish, and Lin Ruhai stopped him in his arms and said : "In a flash, my Yu'er is so big. Let father see it. You didn't know how to crawl when I left. In the blink of an eye, you are already so tall." Everyone laughed out loud when they saw it.At this time, the twins also came to visit their father, and the family reunion was very happy.

Jia Min hurriedly ordered someone to wait for Lin Ruhai to wash and wash away the exhaustion, and hurriedly ordered someone to hold a banquet.The family sat around and had a reunion dinner happily.During the dinner, Lin Ruhai asked about the studies of the twins, spoke generously to Jia Min, took Daiyu into his arms, and fed her, all in harmony.

After the banquet, the family chatted and laughed for a while. Daiyu's spirit was limited when she was young. Today, because she heard that she could finally see her father, she got up early again and waited with Jia Min all the time. She refused to go to bed even at noon. Lying down, afraid that my father will return, and I will miss it while I am still sleeping.Now seeing Lin Ruhai and eating again, he was naturally sleepy, and soon fell asleep in Lin Ruhai's arms.Jia Min hurriedly let the nanny hug her and coax her to sleep, and the twins talked with her again, and they also resigned and left together.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were the only couple left in the house, and the scene turned cold for a while.Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Min for a while before opening his mouth again: "It's been hard work for you for the past six months."

Jia Min blushed a little, and said: "What is the master talking about? Although I am inconvenient to go in and out of the mansion, everything is fine. But the master went to the capital all of a sudden, and it is difficult to have no one to take care of him."

Lin Ruhai waved his hands and said, "Forget it, this matter is over, and now that I've returned safely, it's a good ending. Although I have a case in Beijing, it's considered a courtesy to me, and I didn't suffer much."

Jia Min nodded after hearing this, and seemed a little relieved. "Here, my elder brother often sends people to deliver letters, so I don't worry about it. I saw the letter left by the master when I was helping the master clean up the study, and I thought that since the master said it, there would be nothing wrong with it. Now it seems , It’s really safe and sound. Even Yu’er has to read this letter every day, and she knows a few words.” After finishing speaking, Jia Min got up, pulled out the letter from his sleeve, and handed it to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai stretched out his hand to take it. Jia Min had read that letter countless times, and the edges of the envelope were frayed and fuzzy.Pulling out the envelope and shaking it open, some words in my heart were blurred and blurred by the water.Presumably, when Jia Min watched it before, she should have shed tears.Lin Ruhai folded the letter, leaned it against the candle, and the letter caught fire when it saw the fire, and it caught fire immediately.

Jia Min couldn't help being stunned, and hurriedly wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Lin Ruhai: "Now that I'm back, I don't need to keep this letter." Most of the letter was burned, Lin Ruhai let go of it, and let it fall to the ground.

Jia Min looked at the ashesed letter and sighed: "It's just a pity. During this year, when I was flustered, I had to read this letter to be at ease. It doesn't matter, it's good that the master is back now."

While the two were talking, a servant girl came to report that Mr. Fang was asking to see her.Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment and said, "Which Master Fang?" The maid handed over the name card in her hand and said, "It's Fang Zhongzheng, Master Fang."

Hearing the name, Lin Ruhai got up quickly and said: "Go and ask Mr. Fang to sit in the study for a while, and I will talk later." Busyly asked Jia Min to take out his clothes and put them on again: "I can come back safely, thanks to this Mr. Fang gave me Zhaoxue. I was supposed to go to his house to pay a visit to him, but why did he let him visit me first. I will thank him first, and I will come back later to reconnect with you."

Jia Min nodded, reached out to help Lin Ruhai straighten his clothes, and watched him go away.This time, I really should thank that Fang Dacai.Today is also a whole day of tossing. I got up early and waited anxiously for a long time in my heart. Now that I see the person returning safely, a stone in my heart has fallen to the ground.

Seeing the letter that was almost ashes, Jia Min still felt a little bit sad. After all, he relied on this letter for a year, but now it has become ashes. If he had known earlier, he might as well not have taken it out.Jia Min knelt down and wanted to put away the paper ashes, but found that there were a few words on the unburned letter paper. Jia Min couldn't help feeling strange. He had read the letter many times and could memorize it by heart. I am very sure that those words never existed in this letter.Jia Min had an epiphany, and hurriedly baked the unburned envelope next to the candle, and sure enough, a lot of words appeared on the back of the envelope.Jia Min hurriedly moved closer to the candlelight to watch, but she was startled when she saw it.He hurriedly put the piece of broken letter into an envelope, and put it into his sleeve.

Jia Min waited for Lin Ruhai to return after discussing with Mr. Fang.It's just that it's almost three o'clock, and I still haven't returned.Jia Min and his clothes leaned on the bed and fell asleep.I don't know how long it took, but when I heard a voice, I saw Lin Ruhai come back.With a tired look on his face, Jia Min couldn't bear to ask any more, so he helped him to rest.

Therefore, after going to the capital for a year, there was a backlog of government affairs. Lin Ruhai went out early and returned home every day to take care of it, ten days passed before he knew it.This day, Lin Ruhai came to Xiumu's house and had nothing to do, so he hugged Daiyu to teach him how to read, and took a pen and paper to let him scribble.When Daiyu was young, she was also delighted to see the paper, pen, ink and inkstone, and found it interesting and amusing.I was happy for a while, and I didn't care whether I grabbed the tip or the end of the pen. After a while, there were many ink marks on my hands and face, and even Lin Ruhai's robe was printed with a few small black handprints.

Jia Min brought some snacks to the two of them, and seeing them like this, she couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly called Daiyu's nanny to take Daiyu down to wash up.He hurriedly fetched clean clothes for Lin Ruhai to change into.

"Master is too impatient. Although Yu'er is smart, she learned a lot in a short time." Jia Min said with a smile.

"I also feel that I missed a lot this year, and I just have regrets in my heart. I want to spend more time with her. After all, this is the only girl I have." Lin Ruhai explained, whenever she thinks of Daiyu's little face, I feel warm in my heart.

"How does the master know that there will be no more daughters? Now I didn't expect the master to have the ability to pinch and count." Jia Min joked, looking at a table of papers written on something, Jia Min remembered the letter again Come on, hesitating whether to ask or not.

Lin Ruhai saw that Jia Min's expression was different, and said, "I see that your complexion is not good, so don't hold back if you have something to do, and talking about it may relieve your worries."

Jia Min hesitated for a moment and took out the unburned envelope that had been hidden for a long time and handed it to Lin Ruhai.Lin Ruhai took it, looked at it, and saw Jia Min's worried face again, so he pinched the envelope and patted Jia Min's forehead and said, "You don't need to worry about such things. I don't know what to say about you today." .If you are smart, you have been carrying this letter for a year but you haven’t seen any clues. If you are stupid, you have seen the flaws in this only thing.”

Jia Min didn't have the heart to chat with Lin Ruhai, and sighed: "Master, I'm already stupid, if I didn't see it by accident, how would I have discovered the mystery. After thinking about it, this letter was originally left by the master to us as a picture for our mother and son." Don't worry, it has always been like this, but now it is a burden on my heart. If the master can talk to me, I will be happy. If the master doesn't tell me, I won't ask more. Just continue to worry like this. "

Lin Ruhai laughed and said: "You say that, how dare I not talk to you. Come on, you and I are husband and wife, and we should be of one mind. Don't be distracted by this matter. Just sit down and let me talk." Let me tell you in detail." After finishing speaking, he pulled Jia Min to sit in front of the desk.I was holding a pen aside, talking and writing with Jia Min to read.

The two whispered for about half an hour before Lin Ruhai stopped writing.He gathered the writing papers together, took a brazier, burned them one by one and said, "Do you remember what I told you today?"

Jia Min looked at the ashes in the brazier and nodded, "Master has such things in his heart, it's really hard for him."

"What's the trouble? Anyway, I woke up early, and thanks to my mother-in-law who sent me a message last time, I have this backhand. Otherwise, it would be difficult to save myself from danger this time."

"But I didn't appreciate the old lady's words." Jia Min shook his head and said.

"That's normal. After all, you're not an official, so you don't know how powerful it is. My mother-in-law's words are probably just unintentional, but I can't help but think about it. It's luck to be so wrong." Lin Ruhai paused, " If there are still ups and downs in the future, you will act according to this. It is not peaceful now. I'd better find a way to send you back to the capital, after all, it is more peaceful, and I have relatives to rely on, so I am at ease."
