Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Chapter 159 Lin Hai 22

As dusk fell, Lin Hai looked tired, and returned to the mansion where the lantern had been hung in front of the door.

Following the sound of the concierge welcoming Lin Hai, the lights in the front yard gradually turned on, the sounds of people and footsteps hurriedly greeted the belated master back home, and Lin Cheng hurried over with his people.

"Master is back."

"Well, are the Jia brothers gone?"

"No," Lin Cheng smiled wryly, "I see that they don't look like they are going to leave, so I prepared dinner and ate in the side hall. It should be almost ready."

"I'll go take a look."

Lin Hai didn't change his official uniform, and followed Lin Cheng to the side hall where Jia She and Jia Zheng had dinner, and they happened to have just finished eating.

"Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle." Lin Hai clasped his hands together. "Excuse me, please forgive me, uncle."

"Sister-in-law, did you just come back? The Ministry of Rites is busy?" Jia Zheng asked first.

"There is Enke Qiuwei this year. Although the examiner was sent out early for a long distance, the closer the place is, the later the examiner to be sent will be announced. It is almost this late these days."

"Brother-in-law, go and change your clothes first, we are chatting after dinner, we are not in a hurry." Jia Amnesty quickly took over the conversation, preventing Jia Zheng from continuing to ask, without seeing Lin Hai's face.

"Since that's the case, brother, wait for a while, and Ru Hai will come over." Lin Hai was not polite, and asked Lin Cheng to change tea for them, take good care of them, and then went to change clothes and eat.

After half an hour, Lin Hai packed up and went to the main hall.Seeing that the Jia brothers were waiting for him bored.Lin Hai folded his hands and smiled, and took a seat in the master's seat.

"Brother, is there anything urgent? This has been going on since the afternoon... If you are not in a hurry, send someone to send a letter, and when you rest, Ruhai will just pass by."

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Zheng and said nothing.Lin Hai took a look and turned his attention to Jia Zheng, "Second uncle?"

"Cough," Jia Zheng was looked at helplessly by the two, so he cleared his throat and said, "It's like this, the old lady's housekeeper said today that you will remarry on the [-]th of next month. This remarriage, brother-in-law, shouldn't you?" Tell our Rongguo Mansion?"

Lin Hai smiled. "Brother is right, it should be said logically."

"That's right." Jia Zheng hurriedly answered, "Brother-in-law is rude to do this, not like a brother-in-law."

"Oh," Lin Hai sighed, "but I have no choice but to remarry. If Min'er...my and Min'er's eldest son could grow up smoothly, now I am also a grandson running around, so why bother for incense? Inheritance and remarriage? Although this matter has passed for more than 20 years, I think my mother-in-law has asked the truth long ago!"

"Uh." Jia Zheng choked.What's the use of bringing up what happened back then, Min'er, mother and son are both gone.What is Lin Hai going to do?Jia Zheng couldn't answer, so he looked at Jia Amnesty.

"Brother-in-law, so far it's you, even the eldest brother wants to know the murderer who killed Hu'er! My Hu'er is already six years old." Jia She made up his mind.

Jia Zheng felt extremely uncomfortable, what's going on?Why are these two people's words vaguely pointing at themselves for killing their eldest son.

"Brother, brother-in-law. Who are you?"

"Alas," Lin Hai said, "Second Uncle, apart from Min'er, there is also the child born after Min'er, her dowry maid, who is also a baby boy. If it wasn't for the Lin family's multiple generations, the two male grandchildren were so easy to get. She passed away for no reason, and my mother will not die. If the second uncle still wants to talk to Ruhai about the etiquette for remarrying..."

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng shut up in embarrassment.Yes, now that things are going on, what face does the Rongguo Mansion have to ask Lin Hai for courtesy!

"Also last summer, everyone Lai from Rongguo Mansion took people to the south of the Yangtze River to pick up Daiyu and go to the old lady's side. My uncle saw what happened in Rongqing Hall that day. This is still me in Rongfu, The second sister-in-law blamed the little girl, if only the little girl went to the old lady's side... such a thing, hehe..."

Jia Zheng blushed with shame, stood up and cupped his hands, "Brother-in-law, the second brother has no way to teach his son, here is your apology."

Lin Hai stood up and replied, "Second uncle, although it is my father's fault to raise or not teach. Ruhai guessed from the situation that day that Baoyu's child was probably protected by the old lady's wing all the time. Uncle may not have the opportunity to teach him. .”

Jia Zheng nodded gratefully, his eyes cleared, thanking Lin Hai for his understanding of his situation.

"However, Second Uncle, this boy is eight years old, and he is still messing around in the inner room. None of us moved to the front yard a long time ago to be with his father."

"Yes, yes, my brother-in-law is right." Jia Zheng clenched his fists, thinking that he also lived in the front yard early to study, not to mention that Jia Amnesty would follow the old man to practice martial arts in the morning.When I got back, I moved Baoyu to the front yard to study.

"Brother-in-law, there is such a thing when I came here today," Jia Amnesty saw how far the topic had been dragged by Lin Hai, and hurriedly finished what the old lady explained. Everyone can rest and have work tomorrow.Jia Amnesty signaled Jia Zheng to speak.

Being able to get away from the awkward topic just now, Jia Zheng immediately responded obediently, "Brother-in-law, the old lady said that the Rong family does not prevent my brother-in-law from remarrying. I just want my brother-in-law to marry another girl from Jia's family as the second wife to take care of my younger sister." For my niece, this is also our intention to love my niece."

"This Ruhai thanked the old lady on behalf of her daughter first. It's just that the girl from Jia's family is the second wife, and Ruhai didn't dare to learn from her. You should have told you the reason why Chun Miner's mother and son died last year, right?"

The two brothers looked at me and I looked at you, shaking their heads together.

"Since Lai didn't say anything about it, brother might as well go back and ask that old slave what Min'er's dowry said about Min'er's dowry. Ruhai doesn't want her own children to be sent to Jia's woman in hand."

Jia Amnesty was horrified when he heard this, and leaned towards Lin Hai nervously, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, what's wrong with Miner's mother and son?"

Lin Hai lowered his eyes, avoiding Jia Amnesty's scorching gaze, "Those damn servants, Ru Hai are all staying in Min'er's dowry village, brother-in-law, go back and ask Lai everyone. If you don't believe me, you can also send someone to Jiangnan to ask. I kept those people just for the Rongguo Mansion to know the truth."

"Brother-in-law, does Lian'er know?" Jia Amnesty asked.

"The affairs of our seniors will not involve Lian'er and the younger generation. Anyway, it has nothing to do with Lian'er."

Jia She saw that Lin Hai had clear grievances and grievances, and he didn't want to involve the younger generation's frank behavior, and then looked at his wife's deeds to tie up the Lin family every minute, "Oh, brother-in-law, it's our Rongfu who treated you badly. Farewell, my brother-in-law also rests early, and has business to do tomorrow."

Seeing that Jia Amnesty got up to leave, Jia Zheng hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, mother also cares for her niece. After all, after the stepmother comes in, she treats the children in front..."

Lin Hai looked at Jia Zheng, and said word by word clearly: "Brother, please go back and ask the old lady if you can tell Ru Hai the truth about the child that Min'er lost back then, and who was in the way of that child?" Min'er has taken so many folk remedies and drank so many bitter medicines in the past ten years, and has broken down all his life. Could it be that in the old lady's heart, her granddaughter is not as good as her grandson, and her daughter is not as good as her grandson?"

Jia Zheng was dumbfounded, Jia Amnesty and Lin Hai saluted farewell, and dragged Jia Zheng out.

Lin Hai sent the Jia family brothers back, sitting in the study and knocking on the table with her fingers, this Jia mother really dared to think, send a girl from the Jia family to be the second wife, wife or concubine, there is peace in her own backyard day? !It sounds nice to say that I love my granddaughter, and I am afraid that I will only be Daiyu in the future.

Lin Hai was meditating alone, Gui Ni came in and lighted the candle slowly, "Master, Miss has sent someone to ask Master several times."

Lin Hai got up, the brothers of the Jia family had stayed for so long, they had delayed their communication with Daiyu.Starting from Lin Hai, he went to court and went out at dawn every day.Lin Hai thought that if the children had to sleep more, the father and daughter would have to separate their morning exercises, and Daiyu could only see Lin Hai every night.If I can't see my father at night, I'm afraid the girl won't feel at ease all night.

Seeing Lin Hai getting up and going out, Gui Ning immediately took two little maids, each carrying a horn lantern, and followed Lin Hai to the back of the main courtyard.

Jia Zheng squeezed into Jia Amnesty's car, "Brother, let's go back like this? My brother-in-law hasn't responded to what the old lady gave us."

Jia Amnesty was speechless towards such a younger brother, no wonder he had been an official for 20 years before he became Yuanwailang. "You put all your thoughtfulness in front of the old lady to show your filial piety? Didn't you listen to my brother-in-law asking about Min'er's miscarriage more than 20 years ago?"

Jia She wished he could kick Jia Zheng down overnight, lifted the curtain of the car, and ordered the long entourage, "Go to Lai's house, and let Lai's hurry to the old lady's Rongqing hall to wait."

"Second brother, it's not about the second wife now. We have to find out the truth about the death of my sister, mother and son. You damned servant, the Lin family and the Jia family have already made a feud for their heirs, and they didn't mention a word when they returned to Beijing." "The more Jia She thought about it, the more afraid she became. Fortunately, Lin Hai is a generous person and never vented his grievances on the younger generation, otherwise Lian'er...

While waiting for the two sons to come back, Jia's mother was thinking about how to teach the girl who was going to marry the Lin family as the second room.The nanny next to me has been to Jinling for almost a month, and if all goes well, it is time to return.

The two brothers Jia She and She arrived at the Rongqing Hall of Jia Mu, and everyone Lai followed.Everyone in Lai was ready to take a break, and when they heard that they were called, they hurried out with them.But she was a little puzzled. On this late night, the old man sent someone to ask her to go to the old lady's place. She asked the person Jia She sent to call her, but she couldn't find anything. She wished she could go back and ask her to come out. Beat this and Jia Amnesty's long follower.

When everyone Lai arrived at Rongqing hall, he saw Jia Mu sitting in the middle, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang sitting next to each other.Hurry up to salute Jia Mu and all the masters.

Just as Jia Mu was about to scream, she heard a "pop", not to mention everyone's fault, even Jia Mu and others jumped.

"Boss, you..." Mother Jia shut her mouth tightly after saying a few words according to her usual habit. Seeing Jia Amnesty's murderous look, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart, God!This is too much like the old man.My father-in-law is a man who was killed by a sea of ​​corpses and a sea of ​​blood for many years. Compared with his father, his aura is incomparable.

Everyone Lai gave Jia Amnesty this slap on the table and was so frightened that he knelt down.

Jia She kept humming in his heart, mother, I haven't practiced for many years, I'm really scared, my hands really hurt when I clap.

"Thanks to everyone, who did you meet last year in Jiangnan and Min'er's dowry Zhuangzi, say?" Jia Amnesty glared, murderous, thanks to everyone's aura of murder if you dare to tell a lie.

"My lord," Mrs. Wang interjected, wanting to wake up everyone Lai, "speak up if you have something to say, everyone Lai has also worked in this mansion for 40 years."

"Second, tell your daughter-in-law to shut up." Jia Amnesty shouted fiercely, and Jia Zheng was startled. Mrs. Wang was so frightened that she shut her mouth tightly without waiting for Jia Zheng to say anything, and quickly turned the gun in her hand. Rosary, I don't know what I'm thinking.

"Damn everyone, tell me! You have to count on me to ask you a third time. The master has sold your entire family. Let's see who in this mansion dares to say no."

Everyone Lai looked up at Mother Jia, and seeing Mother Jia was also terrified, she didn't look back, knowing that Jia Amnesty was telling the truth, if Jia Amnesty really committed a mess, Mother Jia would not be able to protect herself.To be honest, it seems that is the only way to protect myself tonight.

"The old slave is going to the south of the Yangtze River according to the old lady's order," Lai said while peeping at Jiamu's face. He came back from Jiangnan and told lies to Jiamu, but today the old man asked about it at night, and he said was dismantled.She didn't dare to tell lies anymore.

"When I arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, I saw the second master Lian. The old slave and the second master Lian said that they wanted to see the cousin, and the second master Lian said that he had to ask Mrs. Aunt Lin. The old slave went to find the grandmother of the cousin. The old slave couldn't go in. The next day, Mrs. Lin only said a few words to the old slave, saying that the cousin girl has a lot of filial piety, and it would be bad if she came to Rongguo Mansion to bump into the old lady. Bring the cousin girl back to see the old lady, and then send the old slave and his party to Zhuangzi where the aunt married her."

Jia's mother began to be distracted by Jia Amnesty's aura, and when she came back to her senses, after listening to Lai's words, she wondered what did the two sons hear when they went to the Lin's house?Seeing the elder son like this, and seeing the timid appearance of Lai everyone kneeling there to answer, he didn't know that this slave had come back from the south of the Yangtze River and told him a lie. Thinking about it, an angry look appeared on his face.

While talking, everyone Lai secretly watched Jia Mu's expression, and seeing Jia Mu's angry look made her heart chug.Just as he was hesitating about what to say, Jia Amnesty yelled again, "Say it. Dare to speak sophistically, I will prevent you from seeing the sun tomorrow."

Everyone Lai quickly lowered his head, and continued tremblingly: "The village is full of aunt's dowry, and the guards are all from the Lin family. They are very strict, but they don't treat the aunt's dowry poorly. The old slave asked I asked a few former sisters, and asked why my aunt passed away, so my aunt sent everyone to Zhuangzi. After asking a few more questions, I figured out that I got a son from my aunt.” Everyone Lai licked his lips and said For her, it was right for the aunt to do so.

"My aunt no longer treats the concubines in my aunt's backyard very broadly. Those concubines later bought off the mothers in my aunt's yard and attacked Young Master Biao... Once Young Master Biao left, my aunt found out that Young Master Biao fell ill and died. The aunt followed. Later, when I went to the south of the Yangtze River, I found out that my aunt sent those concubines, who were all given sterilization drugs by my aunt, to the Lin family's family temple."

Jia She looked at Jia Mu, Jia Mu looked at Jia She, and then Jia Zheng. The mother and son had nothing to say for a while.

Mrs. Xing came in quietly, but she couldn't, the east courtyard was far away.Seeing where Lai was kneeling, Mrs. Xing even forgot to say hello to Jia Mu.Jia She snorted at her, and Madam Xing just woke up like a dream, hurriedly bowed to Jia Mu, and tiptoed to the chair next to Jia She.

Mother Jia ignored Mrs. Xing, and asked sullenly, "Master Lai, what did you tell me when you came back from Jiangnan?"

Those who depended on everyone kowtowed again and again, "Madam, please forgive this old slave, I know I was wrong."

"Go out and kneel." Mother Jia pushed Lai everyone out, Jia Amnesty gave Jia Mu a sidelong glance, Jia Mu's heart skipped a beat, did the boss realize that he was going to protect Lai everyone?But it's not guaranteed how it will work. In the past few decades, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have done too many things for themselves.

"Mother, my son and my second brother are at my sister-in-law's house today. My sister-in-law wants my second brother to ask you a few words. Second?"

Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "The son-in-law asked the son to come back and ask the mother if he could tell him the truth about the child that my sister lost back then, and who was in the way of that child? My sister has been trying to find a child for more than ten years. How many folk remedies and bitter medicines I drank, I broke down all my life. Could it be that in the mother's heart, the granddaughter is not as close as the grandson, and the daughter is not as close as the grandson?"

After hearing this, Jia's mother said, "Ouch", "My Min'er!" she cried out in a drawn-out voice.

Mrs. Wang hurried to help the old lady who was lying on the couch. Jia Mu pinched Mrs. Wang's arm and gasped from the pain, but she didn't dare to cry out.

"My Min'er, how much you have suffered!"

Jia Zheng hurried up to comfort his mother, Madam Xing just got up, when Jia She turned her sideways, she was so frightened that she fell down on the chair and did not dare to move.

When Jia's mother stopped crying and calmed down, Jia Zheng and his wife sat back to their original positions. Jia's mother said, "It's okay not to mention the old things of more than 20 years. Let's go back and rest later today."

"Mom won't send the second room to the Lin family?"

"My lord, the old lady beside my mother has already gone to Jinling to select a candidate, and she might arrive in half a day."

"That's right, Boss, the Lin family has only lost children. I told them to choose good children and make up for it."

"Mother, my brother-in-law said he didn't want any heirs from the Lin family, so he folded them into the hands of the women of the Jia family. Send them to the second room again? Are you going to send them in? Do you want the Lin family to have no descendants?"

Jia Amnesty sneered, and Jia Zheng felt something was wrong.Mrs. Xing looked at Jia's mother, then at her husband, and felt that the Jia She in front of her was no longer the person she knew.

"Mother, my brother-in-law also asked my sister, the one who lost the housemate, the two lost boys, took the life of the old lady of the Lin family. Now it's the Lin family, no, the reason for sending the second room away is because... this You have already made a grudge against your heirs." Jia Zheng was a little incoherent.

"Your sister's nanny's family was already killed by your father at that time."

"Mother, let's talk about how many slaves died in our family, that is, a dozen or dozens, can it be exchanged for the life of the old lady of the Lin family, or can the Lin family have a son who will inherit the incense, or can the younger sister die?" Rebirth? My sister-in-law is now asking my mother about the truth about the child my sister lost back then. If there is no explanation, this is not the time when my father is alive..."

"Why, your father is gone. Is he, Lin Hai, looking for the rear account now?"

"Mother," Jia Amnesty asked Jia's mother, so the words ended. "What my brother-in-law wants is the truth about my sister's child being aborted. My sister has been suffering for more than ten years. Doesn't my mother feel sorry for my sister? Who is my brother-in-law talking about? Mother told her sons when she knew that the Rongguo Mansion is now in conflict with others. I can't bear revenge."

Jia's mother was silent... She said in her heart: I dare not say it because I can't afford revenge.

Mrs. Wang counted the rosary beads in her hand, on the one hand to relieve hatred, on the other hand to express fear.

"Master, it's late, let mother rest, don't get sick." Mrs. Wang reminded Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng looked at the clock, "Brother, let's talk about it another day."

Jia Amnesty looked at the time, realized that he could no longer ask the old lady, and called the maid to come in and take care of the old lady to rest.After Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng took their wives out, Mother Jia took Yuanyang's hand and sighed, "God."

Yuanyang persuaded Jiamu to turn around with good words, waited for Jiamu to rest, and left amber and glass to watch the night before leaving Jiamu's room.

There is a little girl waiting for the mandarin duck outside the door. "Sister Yuanyang, the Elder Master has taken Aunt Lai away."

Yuanyang's heart skipped a beat. She was guarding the door tonight, only to hear the roar of the old man, and then saw everyone come out and kneel in front of Jiamu's door. It must be a big deal.Now that the inner and outer courtyards have been closed, even if she wanted to help everyone Lai deliver the letter, she couldn't do it.Although he patted the little girl's shoulder, "Hurry up and go back to sleep, we have nothing to do."
