The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

Chapter 249

Lin Hai smiled elegantly, "Young Master Zhen and Master Xue can do their own thing!" Then he said to Lin Chang: "I'll go and greet Lord Yin, the prefect of Suzhou, and Lord Luo, the garrison in the south of the Yangtze River."

Lin Chang nodded, and also knew that Lin Hai and Kong Jiayi, relatives of his wife's natal family, were not easy to entertain. Their seniority was so high that it made people feel like vomiting blood.

Pit father!

After waiting for Lin Hai to leave, Lin Chang took Xue Xun to the mourning hall. As he walked, he said, "How can I think that Master Xue came to pay homage to the dead in person? Jinling is not far from Yangzhou, but there is still a two-day journey." Yes." Xue Xun was of the same generation as Lin Chang according to the seniority of the four major families.Naturally, he would not worship like Zhen Baoyin, Zhen Baoyin performed the ceremony of juniors.Moreover, Xue Lin's family has nothing to do with each other, this worship is just a gift for friends.It's just that he came now with other purposes.

"I know that I don't have a deep relationship with Mr. Lin. But I have always admired and appreciated Mr. Lin. Mrs. Lin and Zhuo Jing also met in the boudoir. She was very sad when she learned that Mrs. Lin had gone. It's just a woman's way." They can't leave you, so they urged me to come to worship in person." Xue Xun said hahaha, everyone in the know knows that Jia Min and the two sisters of the Wang family don't have a good relationship.

Heartbroken?

Who did you lie to!

Mrs. Wang might have set off ten thousand firecrackers in her heart. As for Aunt Xue, she might sigh a few words.

Therefore, Lin Chang just nodded slightly and said: "Lin has thanked Mr. Xue and Mrs. Xue on behalf of the deceased."

After Lin Chang finished speaking, he stopped talking. He knew that Xue Xun also came with a purpose, and this purpose should be different from Zhen Baoying's.However, he was interested in guessing the Zhen family's intentions, but he was not interested in guessing what the Xue family was up to.

In the eyes of Lin Chang, the Xue family is a businessman and a nobleman.The most despised merchants, no matter whether they are imperial merchants or salt merchants, are looked down upon by the gentry as long as they have the word "merchant".

Xue Xun came here because he really wanted to find out if Lin Chang had any intention of continuing.Although there are no women of the right age in his family, it is suitable to have two nieces in the next room.The Xue family urgently needs other powerful new arms.

The Jia family has already begun to lose, and has lost the right to speak in the meritorious circle; the Wang family is still on the rise, and it is still unable to give the Xue family a lot of help, and even needs the Xue family to provide money; the historians have already made it clear manner.It's just a passable on the surface; as for the Zhen family that is in the limelight now, it's not that the Xue family doesn't want to curry favor, but that the Zhen family doesn't like the Xue family.

Lin Chang naturally didn't know Xue Xun's picture.Even if you know it, you won't agree.No matter how rich Xue's family is, his Lin family would never marry a merchant's daughter, not even a stepwife.

Therefore, Xue Xun's idea was destined to fail.

But Xue Xun saw it again.When Lin Chang was actually a member of the Xunyan Yushi clan, he became more determined in his heart to curry favor with the Lin family, but he also knew that with the current state of his family, he might not be able to be the successor wife!But he hit the position of aunt, the favored aunt.The influence on a man may not be less than that of a wife.

Speaking of which, the idea of ​​making the Xue family girl Lin Chang's aunt is more feasible.The only thing that worries Xue Xun is.Are those rumors that Lin Chang and Jia Min are deeply in love with each other true, and whether Lin Chang has any intention of continuing.

You must know that although Lin Chang is now 37 years old, and he doesn't look very good now, like a person in his 50s, but this family business and successful career.It's enough for some people who want to marry their daughters, and those who climb dragons and phoenixes agree!

He heard from his wife Wang Shi.Lin Chang and Jia Min love each other deeply.But he doesn't believe it very much, and the feelings are naturally there. After all, they have lived together for nearly 20 years.

But how important is this family inheritance?

Without a son, what is the use of the family business that has been earned so hard in this life just to benefit others?

But after thinking about it, Xue Xun still didn't ask this question out of his mouth. Lin Chang would not be in the mood now. If he angered Lin Chang by asking this question, he would lose money!

Not long after, the Jia family, historians, and Wang family in the capital also sent people to the south of the Yangtze River after they got the news. The leader of the Jia family, just as Lin Hai expected, was Jia Lian.

I don't know if it's because Lin Hai sits here, but unexpectedly, until the day before Jia Min's coffin was sent to his hometown in Suzhou for burial, these families didn't make any trouble.

However, the Jia family never mentioned the issue of taking Lin Daiyu to Beijing to raise her. For a while, Lin Hai thought that Jia Lian had also been reborn through time travel!

But Lin Hai's beautiful wish was destined to be impossible to realize, because on this day, Jia Lian spoke!

"Uncle, my ancestor missed my sister very much, and my aunt left early, so I want to take my sister to Beijing." In fact, Jia Lian didn't want to take care of this matter. After all, someone else's wife just passed away. It is too unreasonable to ask for the only daughter of someone else.But who made this Jia's mother the biggest? His father is also a jerk waiting to die, and his only skill is to play with the little wife.The second uncle has to go to the anchor point of the Ministry of Industry every day, and the eldest brother Zhu needs to study and rely on the imperial examination, so he can only take the exam!

Sure enough, Lin Chang frowned and said: "I shouldn't refuse to let my daughter perform filial piety instead of my dead wife, but you have also seen in the past few days that your sister's body is really unable to withstand the exhaustion of the journey, and the north The weather is not too suitable, your sister is recovering from illness. Besides, she will have to observe three years of filial piety for her aunt!"

In a word, Lin Chang just didn't want to send Lin Daiyu to Jia's house after saying a word.

Jia Lian opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything!

If Mother Jia can use filial piety to force Jia Amnesty to let Jia Zheng live in Rongxi Hall, then Lin Chang can also use filial piety to silence Mother Jia. It is only natural for children to be filial to their parents for three years, let alone Mother Jia. , Even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu came, he wouldn't say anything.

However, Lin Chang also knew that Jia's mother held an uncompromising position in Jia's mansion, and knew that this would make it difficult for Jia Lian to do so, so he said: "I heard that Zhu'er from my second uncle's family was admitted as a scholar. My wife was not in good health and the family was in a hurry. This gift is a bit thin, so I prepared another copy, and I will take it with Lianer when she goes back. The old lady is about to celebrate her 69th birthday, and I can't go to congratulate her in person, so I will give this gift to the old lady in advance The birthday gift has been prepared together."

Jia Lian had no choice but to agree with an unhappy face.

Who told the Lin family to prosper at this time, it was simply not something the Jia family could offend.

But when he was waiting to leave the next day, Lin Chang gave him 500 taels of travel expenses, and Jia Lian suddenly felt that his trip was worth it!Poor Jia Lian, I have never seen more than 100 taels of silver before we are married!

Jia Min's coffin will be taken to his hometown in Suzhou for burial. Naturally, Lin Hai can't stay here anymore, because some of the journeys overlap, so Lin Hai decides to go on the road with Lin Chang. Just fall behind.

The day after sending Jia Lian away, Lin Chang received the imperial court's approval, and took his youngest daughter, Lin Daiyu, and his family and Lin Hai's family to support Jia Min's spirit and went to Suzhou.

On the night of the journey, Lin Hai and Lin Chang sat in the cabin and played chess.

After falling down, Lin Hai asked, "Do you have any plans for the future?"

"What plan is Uncle Hai talking about?" Lin Chang was a little puzzled.

Lin Hai gave Lin Chang a funny look. The emperor was really not in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry. He said angrily, "Of course it will be a major event for you in the future! Although we have produced five clothes, I can still be regarded as your elder. I am your elder today. My son wants to ask you what is in your heart. Your wife has passed away now, leaving only one daughter. After a year, do you want to remarry? Or do you want to go on alone? If you want to go on alone, you have to think about it Regarding the matter of adoption, you can't let this direct branch of the Lin family be cut off at your place!"

Lin Chang sighed, "I'm dissatisfied with Uncle Hai, I've actually thought about this for the past few days, but I'm really not sure!"

Both things have pros and cons.

If we talk about Xuxian, he is not yet old enough to give birth to his own children, but if he fails to give birth to children, wouldn't this delay a woman's youth, and in the end she still has to adopt.

If he adopts now, the children of several families who meet his conditions are not young. If he can't raise his heart in one day, how can he rest assured to leave his daughter alone in this world!

"Don't blame me for talking too much. If you have a son under your body, even if it is a bastard, I will not say this. There is still a year or so, you should think about it carefully! During this time, I will first Ask your uncle to show you the candidates, so you can know what kind of woman you like?"

Lin Chang nodded, sighed and said: "I will remarry at this age, not to mention that I have no heirs to inherit from my knees, and the young daughter must be raised by someone. This remarriage, ah, as long as the family background is not too bad, the body is healthy, and the character is chaste. Shu, that's all right."

Lin Hai nodded, very glad that Lin Chang did not object to the matter of Xu Xian, which indicated that there might be a chance that sister Lin would not be sent to Jia's mansion.

Let Lin Hai say that the original owner in the original book must have been kicked in the head by a donkey at that time. Lin Daiyu lost her mother at the age of six, and the Red Chamber drama was just kicking off at the age of 13. During the seven years in between, what did the original owner do? He didn't do anything, just waited to die, and created a reason for sister Lin to live in Jia's house.

I rely on!

Is this something that a normal man in ancient times did?

Moreover, in the original book, it was the third-class housekeeper who was sent by the Jia family to pick up Sister Lin, a granddaughter, the dignified daughter-in-law who inspected Yan Yushi, and was dismissed by a few third-class mothers-in-law!Didn't the original owner feel despised?

He even agreed to the Jia family's request.

Only the head of the original owner was kicked by the donkey, so it can be explained clearly!
