Princess Zhaoyang's mansion was still under renovation, so there wasn't much to see. Therefore, Princess Zhaoyang had prepared a pot of tea and cooked it for a long time in a tea pavilion next to the martial arts arena. Seeing that the fourth prince was really bored, she smiled and suggested leaving the city.
Outing.
It is said that when Emperor Ningkang gave her a house, he also gave her many manors, so she just wanted to go and have a look.
Also, it is difficult to support such a large princess mansion with just the annual salary of 10,000 taels.
It must be supported by some royal houses to form a good cycle. The fourth prince didn't seem to like this activity very much, so he started to suggest other projects.
It happened that Princess Zhaoyang didn't want him to follow, so she let him go. Hearing that the emperor's sister wanted to take Jia Lian out of the city alone for an outing, the fourth prince had nothing to say, so he immediately decided to go out of the city with the emperor's sister.
He had to watch more and not let the imperial sister make the same mistake again. He visited two imperial mansions with Princess Zhaoyang and the fourth prince, and when they returned to the city, it was already approaching dusk.
Jia Lian stopped by the Lin Mansion to take a look at Lin Ruhai. Now the Lin family has moved to a residence not far from Lantai Mansion.
The house is not too big. After all, for Lin Ruhai, it is just a break. He also plans to return to his hometown.
Originally, Jia Lian thought that Lin Ruhai might get better because he had put aside government affairs, fulfilled his children's wishes, and was able to rest in peace and recuperate.
But when he came over, he found that Lin Ruhai's complexion was even worse. Although Lin Ruhai's complexion was poor, he seemed to be in a good mood. Seeing Jia Lian squatting in front of his hospital bed with a sad look in his eyes, he actually smiled reluctantly.
He smiled and moved his hand to pat the back of Jia Lian's hand.
"Don't be sad for me. Birth, old age, illness and death are normal. Now that you are here, I have a few things to entrust you with."
"Uncle, please tell me."
"First, Yuan said that after you go to the south of the Yangtze River, I will assist you in investigating the Yangzhou salt policy. It seems that I will not be able to support that day. However, I have already informed your majesty and entrusted the people around me to
Give it to you, it’s the same with them helping you. So, as long as you wait until the big meeting and go to see His Majesty, His Majesty will probably agree to let you go south."
"Secondly, although your sister Lin is your concubine, you said you would not wrong her. Therefore, you should ask a matchmaker as soon as possible to write another marriage letter and accept it with your sister Lin."
"Yes..." Seeing that Lin Ruhai was in critical condition and still caring about these things ardently, Jia Lian couldn't help but feel sad and nodded in agreement.
He understood what Lin Ruhai meant, and signed the marriage contract while he was still there. Even if Daiyu got married in his hands, with the blessing of her parents, she was not considered an orphan who lost her mother and father.
"Thirdly, my ancestors of the Lin family once attacked the princes, and I have been an official for so many years. I feel ashamed to say that I can't be considered honest. Over the years, my family has also accumulated a lot of wealth. I have given instructions to the steward and others.
, after my death, I should leave it to you to take care of my affairs. As for my Lin family's ancestral property, I will ask a few famous people in the family to take care of it for the time being. As for my private property, half of it will be used as a dowry with your sister Lin, and half
Just keep it and let him inherit it when your and Yu'er's child grows up in the future. You have to make your own decision on how to do this. I believe you will do better than what I arranged."
"Yes, my son-in-law would like to comply with his father-in-law's arrangements." Lin Ruhai sounded as if he was arranging the funeral arrangements, and in his words, his complete trust in him was clearly revealed.
In other words, with what Lin Ruhai said
With the "will" in hand, Jia Lian took all the property of the Lin family into his pocket, which was justifiable.
If she didn't really regard him as her own, why would Lin Ruhai be so unprepared for him? Moreover, Lin Ruhai's arrangement was very reasonable.
He is now unsure whether Jia Lian and Daiyu will be able to give birth to a boy in the future, after all, Daiyu is too weak.
Therefore, he asked the Lin family's ancestral property to be taken care of by a highly respected person in the family. In this way, if he was really destined to die, he didn't want anyone to inherit it, so he let the Lin family choose one by themselves.
The patriarch comes to deal with the family's ancestral property.
But if Jia Lian and Dai Yu really give birth to a boy and recognize the Lin family as their clan, then with Jia Lian's ability, there is no need to worry that the Lin family dares to occupy the ancestral property and the position of patriarch without returning it.
Moreover, Lin Ruhai's private property is definitely much more than the Lin family's ancestral property. If half of it is passed on to his good grandson, he will definitely be able to ensure that his grandson has enough food and clothing.
Of course, before his grandson grew up, his private property was basically all given to Jia Lian. He was not worried at all.
If Jia Lian continues to have a prosperous official career, he will not embezzle his own son's property. If Jia Lian fails in the future, then everything will be over.
Therefore, there was really no need for him to be on guard against Jia Lian and create resentment. Lin Ruhai had already done this, and Jia Lian felt that it was appropriate to call him father-in-law at this time.
Sure enough, after Lin Ruhai heard this, his expression became more and more pleased, but he was unable to talk more. After a long pause, Fang continued to say intermittently: "As for the people around me, who are idle, please pay more for them and pass them by. It's useful,
You can keep it for yourself, you can use it, you can give it to your son or my grandson in the future, you can just do what you want..."
"Yes, please keep this in mind, son-in-law."... Jia Lian came out of Lin Ruhai's room with a heavy heart, shook his head, and talked with the housekeeper Lin Youquan for a long time before going to Daiyu's house.
Daiyu still looked so thin, but her face was more sad. She was obviously very worried about Lin Ruhai's illness, but she was helpless.
Jia Lian didn't have any good way to comfort her. He could only use gentle words to slowly comfort her, and told Daiyu one by one about Lin Ruhai's arrangements for the two of them.
Normally, Daiyu would have been ashamed to hear this, but now Lin Ruhai's illness was so serious that she was at a loss and could only listen to Jia Lian's words quietly.
When Jia Lian mentioned her concerns and held her hand, she lost control of her emotions and fell into Jia Lian's arms, crying loudly.
She was really worried that her father was leaving her too...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Don't be afraid, you still have me, everything belongs to me." Holding Daiyu in his arms for the first time in so many years, Jia Lian didn't have any charming thoughts at all.
Nothing, some, just intense love to the extreme.
Hearing her cry so loudly that her heart and soul were broken, Jia Lian could not imagine that in the original novel, Daiyu went to Yangzhou alone, helpless, watched Lin Ruhai die in front of her, and returned home to be buried alone with the coffin.
Sadness and pain.
However, when she returned to Rongguo Mansion, she was back to normal. Moreover, she brought gifts to Jia Baoyu and her sisters at home.
It can be seen that Daiyu is also a strong girl. She does not show her vulnerability to outsiders.
Thinking of this, even without Lin Ruhai's request, Jia Lian decided that if something unexpected happened to Lin Ruhai, he would personally accompany Daiyu to Suzhou.
"Second brother..." Daiyu cried for a while and responded to some of Jia Lian's comforting words. After coming back to her senses, she felt extremely embarrassed.
When Jia Lian was talking, she could still pretend to be unconscious. After Jia Lian's words stopped, she finally couldn't hide it anymore. She pushed her hands to get up, glanced at Jia Lian quickly, and then sat back on the kang, her face and neck
All red.
Ever since Jia Lian confessed his feelings to her that day, she had been very happy. Of course, she was also a little worried, but she was mostly happy.
It wasn't until Lin Ruhai's condition worsened that her happiness turned to sadness, and she became sad all day long. She really wanted Jia Lian to accompany her more and comfort her, but she also knew that Jia Lian couldn't visit her often at this time, so she was very depressed.
, almost becoming ill.
She had accumulated a lot of words and wanted to tell Jia Lian, but when Jia Lian actually came to her and sat on the edge of her Kang, she could not say a word.
All the words turned into silent tears. I saw Zijuan and other girls going out after serving tea, and hearing Jia Lian's earnest words, I couldn't help myself and fell into Jia Lian's arms.
Seek comfort.
Looking back at this moment, I felt very regretful, for fear that Jia Lian would feel that she was not reserved... But at this time, besides Jia Lian, who else could she trust and rely on?
Of course, Jia Lian understood Daiyu's various moods at this time. Seeing that she was so embarrassed that she did not dare to face him, Jia Lian's heart was pounding and beating uncontrollably.
Just looking at Daiyu's back at this moment, he understood why he had tried so hard to marry this woman back.
This is a spiritual pursuit, a kind of movement and attachment at the soul level. At present, no other woman has given him the urge to give everything.
The most intuitive expression is that if it were any other woman at this time, he could just pick her up and hold her in his arms to comfort her.
But facing Daiyu's delicate back, he stretched out his hand again and again, but still retracted it. Taking a deep breath, he stood up and said: "Sister Lin, you have a good rest, I have to do something as soon as possible."
"What...what's the matter?" When she heard that Jia Lian was leaving, Daiyu finally couldn't help it, turned around and asked. Her face was red and her eyes were filled with tears, which shook Jia Lian's heart and she forgot to speak for a moment.
It wasn't until he saw Daiyu's eyes turning into coquettishness that he regained his smile and said, "My father-in-law asked me to write a marriage certificate as soon as possible. After he signed it and signed it, I could take you away."
"Bah, don't be ashamed~~" After hearing such words, Daiyu looked away and ignored Jia Lian. She huffed angrily and looked delicate, very Lin Daiyu.
Jia Lian smiled, and then bent down to touch Daiyu's shoulder. When the other party subconsciously avoided it, he said softly: "Take good care of uncle, I will come to see you tomorrow." Daiyu was silent for a moment, and then nodded.
