Lin Yutong was startled. It seemed that his illness was really serious. She hurried over, supported him, and helped him to the couch.
Lin Yuyang poured another tea and handed it over. Lin Ruhai took two sips and then recovered.
I didn't realize it just now, but now I realize that no matter how sick and frail I am, I am still an adult man, but just now this eldest daughter supported me and carried me without any trouble. This body is not an ordinary healthy one. The Lin family
It was difficult to have heirs, and they were all quite weak. To have two healthy children, he felt that he was gone and had the honor to meet the ancestors of the Lin family.
"You guys sit down." Lin Ruhai leaned on the pillow and ordered.
Lin Yutong and Lin Yuyang sat down, looking at Lin Ruhai, waiting for him to speak.
Lin Ruhai nodded with satisfaction. Although he grew up outside, the rules were still good.
"What happened back then was because my father was confused. He asked you to follow your aunt and suffered so many years outside. I also know all your experiences in these years. I am ashamed of myself as a father..." Lin Ruhai said these few words
After a few words, he started coughing violently again.
Lin Yutong sighed, stood up, and went to caress his back: "Don't be in a hurry to talk. If you have any questions, talk about it later. Your health is important."
Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly: "As a father, I'm afraid I don't have much time." The voice was very soft, but there was a sense of heaviness in it.
Lin Yutong was also a stranger to Lin Ruhai. When it came to feelings, she really had no feelings. But she glanced at her brother and saw a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes, knowing that the child still couldn't let go.
Jilaiti is a brother and sister who depend on each other. In his life, he has never had a male elder to guide him. Now, he finally has a biological father. His father is also a prostitute who is respected by scholars. I think my younger brother is very happy in his heart.
of.
But now, my newly recognized father is gone again. Although he has a lot of money, what's the use of it.
My sister said that she has money, but money is far from everything in life.
He thought he understood the meaning of these words now.
Lin Yutong had a thought in his mind, and he didn't know whether the spring water in the space had any effect on Lin Ruhai's illness. Later generations of red scholars made many speculations about Lin Ruhai's death. But no one knew what it was like.
Lin Yutong still planned to give it a try, even if it was just for his younger brother. Moreover, with Lin Ruhai here, even if he was no longer an official, he would still have an elder in the family. It was better than having to worry about saving this little family fortune.
She said soothingly: "Just rest in peace and rest, leave the rest to me. My brother's health was not good when he was a child, but I have taken care of it now. He has not even caught a cold in the past two years."
Hearing the tone of these words, Lin Ruhai seemed to have no intention of leaving. She couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Child, this is home. I only have three of you as a father. I don't want to let you live outside anymore. What happened back then...Mrs.
He's gone. Death is like a light extinguishing, and I don't want to pursue it anymore. Now, I can only leave it to you to take care of everything at home."
Lin Yutong nodded: "Let's not talk about this for now. Just your body... From now on, all your food and daily life will be handed over to me. No one else can get involved in it. I don't trust anyone."
Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes: "You are doubting... that my father's body is..."
"It's said that your health declined because you lost your son and your wife, and lost the ability to survive. But you have been in the officialdom for so many years, don't you have the ability to bear this?" Lin Yutong raised a bit of coldness at the corner of his mouth, "This
Birth, old age, illness and death are common in this world. Besides, you also have a young daughter living in the capital. I want to ask you, is it because your wife is gone and you are so sad that you want to die for love, or is it because you are ill and have less and less energy?
.To say that you are doing it because of your wife is a bit far-fetched. My wife has been gone for several years, and now you think of committing suicide for your love. Isn’t it a joke?”
Before meeting Lin Ruhai, Lin Yutong knew that he could never be a loving person. If he really had a deep love for Jia Min, where would his aunt be, and where would she and her brother be. So, what could be possible about Lin Ruhai's death?
It's all there, the only thing that can't be is the so-called 'disheartened'.
Lin Ruhai was stunned. He was born in the imperial examination and studied hard in a poor family, just to revitalize his family and realize his ambition. It is definitely not him to be decadent for a woman.
Who spread these words? It really makes no sense.
His health was not good, and he often just felt sad for the Lin family lineage and lost the inheritance. How could he become a martyr for love?
Moreover, few in the Lin family have always been healthy and long-lived, so he did not think about his body elsewhere.
He is considered an old man in the officialdom, and he holds such an important official position as the Salt Patrol Censor. How can he not be careful about other people's calculations? If he is not surrounded by his confidants, he will naturally not use them. He knows that there are people plotting, but
He was confident that no one could succeed in scheming. This was why he never thought about it elsewhere.
But when the eldest daughter showed up, she threw such a big thunder at her.
Who does this child suspect?
If he was tricked by someone in the mansion, then it could only be done by someone in the mansion. The only people who are deeply rooted in the mansion and can reach out to him, except for people from the Lin family, are his wife's confidants.
After all, those dowries are from the Jia family. And the Jia family and the Zhen family in Jiangnan are close relatives.
Now, the wife is gone. There is no son left, and the only daughter is in the Jia family. They really have less scruples to take action.
Moreover, there is definitely a motive. After all, some of his actions may have affected the interests of the Zhen family.
For a time, he thought a lot in his mind.
There were footsteps outside the door, followed closely by Butler Lin's voice: "Master, the yard has been tidied up."
Lin Ruhai recovered her mind and raised her voice: "Come in."
When Butler Lin saw that his masters and masters all had serious faces, he suddenly stuttered when he spoke: "Old... master... that..." He pointed outwards with his hand, "I have tidied up the yard for the eldest lady and the uncle."
Lin Ruhai nodded, glanced at the siblings, and a kind look flashed in his eyes: "You will settle with Butler Lin first." Then he said to Butler Lin: "From now on, the affairs of the inner house will be under the control of the eldest girl.
If something happens in the outer courtyard, report it to your uncle. If you can't make a decision, ask me again."
Butler Lin responded and looked up. The two young masters didn't even raise their eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Ruhai nodded with satisfaction: "Everything in my yard is under the control of the eldest girl. Whatever the eldest girl says, what will you do?"
Butler Lin was really shocked now.
Lin Yutong laid the pillow down for Lin Ruhai, "Since father said that he wants to listen to my arrangements, just listen to me. Now you don't have to worry about anything. Just rest and recuperate."
Lin Ruhai lay down and closed his eyes. He was really tired. After holding on for a long time, he really couldn't hold on any longer.
Lin Yutong saw Lin Ruhai resting and said to Butler Lin: "The people who serve in this room must be trusted."
Butler Lin understood something instantly. He widened his eyes and said, "Don't worry, I will let my two sons guard the place today."
"How old is your grandson this year?" Lin Yutong asked something irrelevant.
"One is ten years old and the other is eight years old." Butler Lin said truthfully not knowing what the older girl wanted to do.
"Let your two boys become book boys with Brother Yang. If they are equally good at reading and writing, they will be able to serve as officials when they are released in the future." Lin Yutong promised.
Lin Yuyang looked at Butler Lin and nodded, indicating that he recognized his sister's promise.
Butler Lin immediately understood that the young master gave them this grace to be loyal. Being able to act like this means that the master's side is already very unclean. He knelt down and said, "I swear, I will never betray."
"Get up!" Lin Yutong helped Lin Butler up: "Don't think too much, your father knows your loyalty."
When Lin Ruhai heard this, she was completely relieved. Knowing how to give both kindness and power, there was nothing to worry about.
Lin Yutong immediately took office, "use a screen to separate the bed from the outside. Do not light incense in the room and ventilate it for a quarter of an hour every day. You can also put some fruits to smoke the room. There is no need for flowers. No one knows which flowers are harmless."
"
Butler Lin was heartbroken and quickly responded.
"In addition, send your trusted people to find famous doctors elsewhere. No matter how high the cost, you have to invite people. The whole Jiangnan is now owned by the Zhen family. It is better not to use the doctors in the past.
." Lin Yutong ordered as he walked to the kitchen, "In addition, if my father has official documents, books or other things he likes to read, you should keep them sealed. When the time comes, let the doctor take a look to see if there has been any manipulation on the paper."
Butler Lin froze. How could this girl have such a brain? How could she think of these places? He suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
Lin Yutong sighed in his heart, if this is the case, Lin Ruhai still can't save his life, it can only be because he is destined.
Thinking that there were quite a few people from the Jia family in this mansion, Lin Yutong did not dare to let her brother live alone. She simply ordered: "Pack up two more rooms in the yard and come out. Brother Yang and I will not be at ease if we don't guard them."
. From now on, no one is allowed to approach this courtyard except a few of us."
After Lin Ruhai improves, she must first clean up the house.
These days of worry are not at all as comfortable as in the countryside.
This was the first time Lin Yuyang knew that being an official was so dangerous. He felt that his sister had opened a new door to his world.
The cooks and girls in the yard were all dismissed.
Lin Yutong has to cook meals for three people herself. This is not a difficult task for her.
So, when Lin Ruhai woke up, what she saw was the food cooked by her newly recognized daughter.
I have eaten many delicacies from the mountains and seas, but nothing has ever tasted more delicious than the four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables.
Lin Yutong spent a lot of money this time, using water from the spring. I hope the effect will be better. (. )
