Chapter 127 Departure
"It doesn't matter if the eldest brother doesn't make any achievements! But you must teach Lian'er well. I think Lian'er is a smart and clever child. Don't let him go astray! He is the eldest son and grandson of the Rongguo Mansion, and he will inherit the ancestral business in the future. The responsibility is huge!"
Jia She nodded silently, before he didn't care about this son, he just thought of leaving everything to the old man to teach, whether the teaching is good or not has nothing to do with him.Now after listening to Jia Min's words, he began to seriously think about how he should treat his son.Jia Min's words changed the fate of Jia She and his son, as well as the fate of many people.
Jia Daishan handed the letter he had written to Zhen Yingjia and the head of Jia's family to Lin Ruhai, "Find a suitable time to go to Jinling, and be careful in everything!"
Lin Ruhai took the letter and put it away, then bowed to Jia Daishan and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, my son-in-law knows it well! If I go to Jiangnan, I'm afraid I won't be able to honor my father-in-law for a long time, and I hope my father-in-law will take care of himself!"
"I'm in good health! I can even mount a knife to kill the enemy! But you husband and wife are alone in a foreign land, you must pay attention to your health, especially Min'er, who has been weak since she was a child. You have to take good care of her and don't let me worry about it!"
"Yes! My son-in-law will take good care of Min'er, and won't let her suffer any grievances!"
"Yeah! Let's go! When we're leaving, send a letter in advance and ask your elder brother to see you off!"
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min bid farewell to Jia Daishan and returned to the Lin Mansion.In the next few days, everyone in Lin's mansion was busy packing boxes.Lin Ruhai's errands have been handed over, and all the friends who have changed have also met. Lin Ruhai no longer goes out, and arranges some matters in the mansion.
Lin Ruhai took away most of the people in the dark guard camp this time, and ten of them had already arrived in Suzhou in advance, and arranged the location of the dark guard camp to welcome Lin Ruhai and the others into Suzhou.Another large group of hidden guards, Lin Ruhai let them dress up as boatmen and spread them on the five boats rented by the Lin family to ensure the safety of the journey from the capital to Suzhou.There are only five people left in the Valley of Immortal Medicine, responsible for continuing to build the courtyard in the valley, and looking for suitable orphans and little beggars to train them as new hidden guards in the Valley of Immortal Medicine.
In Lin's mansion, after Lin Ruhai discussed with Jia Min, he left the loyal uncle and his wife, and Jia Min's family as companions. There are more than a dozen people in this family, and it is just right to stay to watch the house. Can also be used as an errand.
On Dayuanfang, Lin Ruhai usually doesn't ask much, but Qi Lan went to Yangcheng to investigate the mysterious person, and Lin Ruhai is still in charge of some matters.Lin Ruhai entrusted Anwu to take care of Dayuanfang in the capital. Anwu is an old man of the Lin family, and he is also very capable and able to convince the public.
Everything was arranged properly, and all the things Jia Min wanted to take away were packed and boxed.On the [-]th of the winter month, Lin Ruhai asked Lin Xing and Lin An to lead the people to transport more than a dozen carriages to Tongzhou Wharf in advance, and it took half a day to load all the boxes on the ship.Lin An took the initiative to stay and guard the things on the boat. He didn't know that half of the boatmen on the boat were hidden guards of the Lin family, and things couldn't be safer on board.
The next day, on the twelfth day of the winter moon, the Lin Mansion began to get busy before dawn. At this time, fine snowflakes floated in the sky. This was the first snow since the beginning of winter this year.Jia Min hugged Lin Lang who was wrapped into a ball, and walked out of the gate of the Lin Mansion. She stood still suddenly, turned her head to look at the plaque on the gate of the Lin Mansion, and took a deep breath.
"Madam, get in the car quickly! We will be back!" Mo Lan said while supporting Jia Min's arm.
"It's really a bit embarrassing!"
"That's right! Don't say it's a wife, she doesn't even give up on slaves!" Wei Zi pouted from the side and said.
At this time, Lin Ruhai came over from the carriage line behind, "Why haven't you gotten into the carriage yet?"
"I'm a little bit reluctant, take a second look!"
"I promise! We will definitely come back!" Lin Ruhai took Lin Lang from Jia Min, asked Mo Lan to help her into the front carriage, and then jumped into the carriage with Lin Lang in his arms.
"The master's kung fu is getting better and better, and so is the wife's. There will be no room for us to use it in the future!" Wei Zi said.
"I hope we'll never be needed again! Get in the carriage!" Mo Lan quickly pulled Wei Zi into the carriage behind.
After ten miles out of the city, the carriage team stopped, and there were already people waiting in the Shili Pavilion beside the official road.Li Jifan and Lin Ruhai's relatives all bid farewell to Lin Ruhai here in the same year, and Jia She and Shen Guangping, Lin Ruhai's uncle's cousin, would send them all the way to Tongzhou Wharf.
"Brother Ruhai! After this farewell, we may never see each other again!" Li Jifan said sadly.
"Brother Ji Fan, why did you say that? Is it true that there is no hope for my younger brother to return to Beijing?" Of course Lin Ruhai knew that Li Jifan was also going to take a foreign post, but it was just a sad joke that he didn't want to see.
"Where! Brother, I will go to Jincheng, Shanxi in the next spring. I am afraid that I will have no hope of returning to Beijing!"
Lin Ruhai understood that if Li Jifan's father had been holding an important position in Beijing, it would be really difficult for Li Jifan to return to Beijing. He has to rely on his own ability to climb to a high position step by step.Lin Ruhai didn't say anything else, but just raised his wine glass, "Everyone! Ruhai thank you all for your kindness in the snow, and my younger brother will do it first as a respect!" After speaking, he drank the wine in his glass.
After bidding farewell to Li Jifan and the others, the Lin family's carriage team continued to move forward, including the carriages of Jia Amnesty and Shen Guangping.The carriage team headed south all the way, the snow fell more and more, the snow on the ground gradually thickened, and the speed of the carriage slowed down.It was not until after noon that the Lin family's carriage team arrived at the wharf in Tongzhou.The Lin family almost moved the whole family this time. Although a batch of things had already been sent to Suzhou in advance, there were still a lot of things left to bring. With the addition of dozens of servants, Jia Min asked people to rent five large ships.
Everyone got out of the car one after another, Lin Ruhai ordered Lin Xing and others to take care of loading the remaining boxes, and the other servants were also busy with their duties.Lin Ruhai took Jia Min and Lin Lang to say goodbye to the two elder brothers who came to see him off.
"Brother! Cousin! Hurry up and go back! It's snowing so much, and you can't walk fast on the road. If you go back now, it will be dark in the capital!"
"It's okay, at worst, stay in Tongzhou for one night before leaving! Sister, you should board the ship!" Jia Amnesty insisted on watching Jia Min and the others board the ship.
"That's right! It's cold, don't freeze the child!" Shen Guangping said while pinching Lin Lang's little face.
Lin Ruhai and the others boarded the boat, stood at the bow and waved goodbye to Jia Amnesty and Shen Guangping who were on the shore.Jia Amnesty and Shen Guangping unconsciously wiped their eyes as they watched the boats gradually moving away from the pier.
