Chapter 29
Since Lin Ruhai had come to the mansion,
It was time for him to pay his respects to Mother Jia.
Thus, the group was led to Mother Jia's courtyard.
He Shen took advantage of the light and entered the door together.
Mother Jia was already being served by her maid, Yuan Yang.
She sat there in a straight line.
Seeing Lin Ruhai enter the room,
Mother Jia smiled.
She said, "What a coincidence this year, you've entered the capital so early.
I haven't seen you in a long time.
How is Young Master?
How is the clan's old lady? "
Lin Ruhai hurriedly bowed. "The old lady is old, after all.
She has been taking medicine for the past few months.
She's not doing well. "
Mother Jia frowned worriedly.
She hurriedly comforted him.
She also said that she wanted to send some medicine to Gusu to greet the old lady.
The Lin family's son, Sun Changmao, only worshipped an old lady.
She was Lin Ruhai's grandmother.
The womenfolk below.
Most of them were peers or juniors.
This was also why Mother Jia said that she missed Daiyu and wanted to bring her to her side.
Lin Ruhai thought about it for a moment before agreeing.
There was no female elder above Daiyu to educate her. The clan's old lady was in poor health and no one dared to disturb her.
However, Daiyu was getting older.
In the future, they would have to talk about marriage. If there was no female elder with high status who could make decisions, how could it be possible?
At this moment, Mother Jia's gaze moved away from Lin Ruhai.
It fell on He Shen.
Mother Jia had always liked good-looking people.
She immediately smiled.
She asked, "Which family's young master is this?
I've never seen him before. "
After she finished speaking, she took a closer look and saw that he was wearing a long robe with nine pythons and five claws, and a golden embroidered brocade coat.
He was clearly an official, and his rank was much higher than Jia Zheng's.
Mother Jia vaguely had an idea.
At this moment, she heard Jia Zheng say, "In the past, I've always told mother about how handsome Assistant Minister He is.
Today, by chance, he came together with his brother-in-law from the palace.
This is Assistant Minister He. "
The people of Rongguo Province were no strangers to the title of "Assistant Minister He".
Knowing He Shen's current status, Mother Jia naturally smiled and said, "I was wondering what day it was today. Early in the morning, there were two or three magpies outside the house.
It turned out that a noble had come today.
Just now, I did not recognize Assistant Minister He. It is this old woman's fault for not recognizing you. "
"Old Madam, you're too courteous." He Shen bowed slightly.
The Lady Jia looked at him again, and saw that he was very young, but tall and slender, with handsome features.
Looking at him, one could not help but feel shocked. Who knew how much luck the heavens had bestowed on such a person?
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a voice outside the door. "Old Madam, Miss Lin is here."
Lin Ruhai hadn't seen his daughter for a long time and missed her dearly. He couldn't help but turn around and stare at the door.
She heard the sound of footsteps approaching.
Xue Yan and Zi Juan followed Daiyu through the door.
"Father." Daiyu took a step forward, tears already soaking her eyes.
"Yu 'er."
Lin Ruhai, on the other hand, was much more restrained. He stood there steadily with a taut expression on his face. Naturally, it would not be good for him to reveal an overly intense expression in the Jia Residence.
Daiyu quickly stepped forward and first greeted Lin Ruhai, then Mother Jia, Jia Xie, and Jia Zheng. Only then did she turn around to speak with Lin Ruhai.
Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw a familiar figure standing not far behind Lin Ruhai.
Daiyu was stunned.
Lin Ruhai assumed that she didn't remember He Shen. He even smiled and said, "You don't remember?
You should call me Uncle. "
Daiyu moved her lips, and the tip of her tongue blurred out, "Uncle."
She should have called him "Brother."
"You father and daughter must have something to talk about. Let's go to the green-screen cupboard together."
Lin Ruhai nodded and thanked Mother Jia.
Thus, the group of people left Mother Jia's courtyard.
Jia Xie was too lazy to follow them, so she returned to her own courtyard.
Jia Zheng was about to call He Shen away.
"Brother Ruhai and I still have a few words to talk about," He Shen said.
Jia Zheng nodded, "Then I'll go with you.
You two talk, I'll drink tea outside. "
If Lin Ruhai was alone, it wouldn't be a problem to let him go alone.
But with He Shen tagging along, Jia Zheng couldn't leave He Shen out. After all, there had to be someone in Rongguo Province to receive He Shen properly.
Lin Ruhai and Daiyu walked in front, whispering to each other.
He Shen walked at the back with Jia Zheng, keeping a distance from Daiyu to avoid arousing suspicion.
But it was also because of the distance that He Shen could see Daiyu's figure clearly. He could see her girlish side even more clearly.
He Shen thought to himself, "That's how it should be."
With her father's pampering, she didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and she was at the prime of her life.
Daiyu should be like this.
But Dream of the Red Chamber had worn away her girlish side, causing her to be trapped in melancholy at a young age.
Just thinking about it made He Shen feel regretful.
Not long after, they entered the green-screen cupboard.
Daiyu and Lin Ruhai went to talk.
He Shen and Jia Zheng sat outside, drinking tea.
The maids lifted the curtain and saw a few figures approaching from afar.
One of the maids whispered, "I'm afraid they're here to play with Miss."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a few figures approaching.
It was Yin Chun and Xichun.
Recently, they liked to come to Daiyu's place the most.
Firstly, Tanchun was busy learning how to manage a household from Madame Wang and Wang Xifeng. Secondly, Baochai's condition was not good, so she shut herself in and did not go out. They went to see her for a day, but they couldn't go every day and disturb her rest.
It was only when they reached the door that they caught a glimpse of someone sitting inside.
When they saw Jia Zheng, they were very afraid and hurriedly called out, "Uncle." "Uncle."
When they turned around and saw He Shen, they panicked and blushed. They said, "We won't disturb you."
After saying that, they hurriedly left.
When they were out of the green-screen cupboard, they patted their chest and said, "Uncle, are you going to introduce Sister Lin to Assistant Minister He?"
Yin Chun shook her head. "Who knows? Seniority doesn't seem appropriate.
Moreover, Uncle Lin should be the one making the decision. "
"That's true. Even if the governor of Rongguo Province wants to talk about marriage, it should be Aunt."
Jia Zheng watched the two sisters disappear into the distance. He turned his head and smiled to He Shen, telling him about the recent happenings at the Silver Foundry.
Jia Zheng's horizons were too narrow and he wasn't very suitable for officialdom. Although he desperately wanted to be a good and upright official.
His talents were not enough.
Therefore, when he heard He Shen casually say a few words, Jia Zheng felt that he had benefited a lot and widened his horizons.
It was also because of this that Jia Zheng often felt that he couldn't leave He Shen, his close friend.
After an unknown amount of time, they changed two pots of tea.
Lin Ruhai finally came out. His eyes were bloodshot. It seemed that he had cried with Daiyu inside.
Lin Ruhai said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Jia Zheng stood up and said, "Alright, you two can talk. When you're done, send someone to inform me.
Today, my brother-in-law, Brother Zhizhai, and I should drink a few cups of wine together. "
Lin Ruhai nodded. "Thank you for your trouble."
Jia Zheng was very perceptive. He quickly left, leaving them some space to talk in private.
Lin Ruhai sat opposite He Shen and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhizhai, for taking such good care of me."
He Shen waved his hand and said, "Speaking of Daiyu, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"When Daiyu came to the capital, she brought along either old nannies or young maidservants who didn't know much about the world.
He didn't even have a proper person by his side.
Now, the most capable person in the room is the maidservant bestowed by the Matriarch. "
Lin Ruhai still didn't understand why He Shen brought this up. He said, "That's a good thing. The Matriarch treats Yu 'er well."
He Shen almost laughed out of anger.
Lin Ruhai was too stupid when it came to this matter.
"How can a proper young lady only have one capable person by her side?
She should have a few more capable people.
Otherwise, how can there be a servant to protect the master? Won't the master have to spend a lot of effort to protect the servant? "
Lin Ruhai smiled awkwardly and said, "In Rongguo Province, who would bully Yu 'er?"
"Rongguo Province has such a big family. Even if the Matriarch loves Daiyu, it's hard to say what the people below are like.
Is the entire Lin family in Gusu as harmonious as this? "
Hearing this, Lin Ruhai fell silent.
He hadn't returned to the main family for a long time, but he knew that there were many disagreements in the family.
Just as He Shen said, there were so many people in such a big family. When there were more people, there would be more thoughts. Who knew what it was like down there?
No matter how Rongguo Province treated Yu 'er, he should think more and take precautions.
"Brother Zhizhai is right. When we get back to Suzhou, I'll immediately have Gusu send two capable nannies to the capital.
I'll say that Daiyu was used to them in the past. "
He Shen said lightly, "Rongguo Province has many girls and many wives.
Not everyone can take care of them.
Besides, Lady Wang has an only son named Baoyu … "
Lin Ruhai hurriedly said, "I've heard of this boy before.
He's said to be a very intelligent person. "
He Shen didn't hold back. He laughed coldly and said, "He only relied on his good looks and obtained a psychic Baoyu when he fell from grace. That's how he stood out from his peers. Everyone who saw him said he was good.
But as for his temperament, Brother Ruhai doesn't know, and the people outside don't know either. "
"Where did this come from?"
He Shen didn't give Rongguo Province a fig leaf. He only mentioned that Baoyu was sick and wanted to see Daiyu.
Lin Ruhai's face immediately paled. He knew the pros and cons of this.
"If I say he's a good person, perhaps other people will praise him for being infatuated.
But what kind of person is he?
He's been around for a long time. All the servant girls and manservants by his side have been dragged to bed by him.
When he sees a few good-looking girls, he'll call them sisters.
Today, he'll feel sorry for this girl who's suffering. Tomorrow, he'll feel sorry for that elder sister who's suffering from a cold … "
Lin Ruhai's face instantly turned green. "His father should be a righteous person. How could he give birth to such a … such an evil child!"
Lin Ruhai wasn't good at scolding people. This sentence was already the reaction of extreme anger in his heart.
"It's not good for me to say these things, but I can't bear to see Brother Ruhai being deceived. In the future, if someone has the intention to marry Daiyu to Baoyu.
You can foresee how much pain Daiyu will have to suffer. "
Lin Ruhai's face was dark and gloomy. He was almost speechless.
He was obviously furious.
At this moment, they didn't know that the Xue Yan was outside the door, eavesdropping through the window.
When she heard this, she thought to herself.
She must go back and repeat this to the girl later.
