Quick Transmigration: Start killing from The Legend of Zhen Huan!

Chapter 844: Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu (7)

"Uncle!"

Jia Lian smiled wryly, "The old man really misses his cousin so much that I heard he's almost going crazy from missing her.

Why not let my cousin go to Beijing, and then I can send her back after some time?"

"Lian'er, it's not that I don't agree."

Lin Ruhai smiled helplessly, "In Yu'er's heart, her mother is the most important.

She said she would observe mourning for three years and would keep her promise.

Even if your grandmother wants to see Yu'er, she has to let Yu'er do her filial duty.

I can't let others say that Yu'er is unfilial.

Besides, it is inappropriate for people in mourning to travel far away to visit relatives!

dont you agree? "

"Uncle."

Jia Lian shamelessly advised: "The old ancestor is old, and we young people only want to make him happy.

As for my cousin needing to observe mourning, it doesn’t matter.

We are all family, so we won’t care about these things.

The nephew thought it was better to reassure the old lady so that she wouldn't fall ill from missing her.

This is not a good thing.”

"Lian'er, you are wrong."

Lin Ruhai said solemnly, "It is precisely because your ancestor is old and Yu'er is in mourning that you shouldn't go to visit him.

If I offend your ancestors, Yu'er will probably never have peace in her life.

Whether it's for your grandmother's sake or for Yu'er's filial piety.

This matter should not be mentioned again.

Wang Lian'er, you know what's going on.

I also don't want anything to happen to the mother and granddaughter.

Lian'er, don't you think so? "

"Yes Yes!"

Jia Lian laughed dryly, but secretly groaned in his heart.

Unable to complete the task assigned by our ancestors.

Going back is not just a scolding.

I don’t know what bad luck I’m going to face.

"Lian'er, you're not young anymore."

Lin Ruhai's voice came, "You are also a married man. I wonder what your plans are for the future?"

"Uncle, I have always been running errands for the family."

Jia Lian didn't know what the other party meant, so he could only say honestly, "Any matters that the elders in the family are not convenient to deal with will be handled by my nephew."

"There are so many things to do in the family. How can you, a son of a Duke, be responsible for all these chores?"

Lin Ruhai frowned, a look of disapproval on his face. "A man should make great achievements in his life, not just sit there and waste his time."

"Uncle, my nephew only paid a donation to obtain the position of Tongzhi."

Jia Lian's face flushed. "It's just an honorary position. There's no need to report for it."

"I know."

Lin Ruhai's expression remained unchanged.

You can still see that he has some sense of shame.

If there is someone to guide us, we won’t be able to accomplish anything great.

As long as you do your job diligently, your future will not be too bad.

What's more, he has the Duke's Mansion and himself behind him.

Most people don't dare to take the blame on him.

It can also be considered as finding a way out for my brother-in-law's family.

These thoughts flashed through my mind.

Lin Ruhai asked directly, “If I give you a real job, you will be away from the capital to do your job.

Would you be willing?"

"what?"

Jia Lian thought he had misheard.

Their eyes widened and they looked incredulous.

With a trembling voice, he asked, "Uncle, are you, are you telling the truth?"

"of course it's true."

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "Why should I joke with you about this?

But you have to think carefully.

As a fifth-rank Tongzhi, he was responsible for local salt, grain, catching bandits, river defense, coastal borders, river engineering, water conservancy, as well as clearing military records and pacifying the people.

These things are not easy to do.

It does not mean that you can do whatever you want and use the power in your hands to seek personal gain.

If the emperor finds out, you will be beheaded.

You have to think this through carefully.”

"Uncle, I, I..."

Jia Lian blushed and wanted to explain something, but didn't know how.

"I know you can't make a decision right now."

Lin Ruhai continued, “Think about it carefully first.

Of course it would be best to write to your father and tell him.

remember.

Only discuss this with your father, and don’t tell anyone else.”

"Uncle, why is this happening?"

Jia Lian was stunned.

He always looks for his ancestors for anything.

I am also used to asking my ancestors to make the decision.

"because……"

……

Return to the guest house where you live.

Jia Lian sat motionless.

A sentence echoed in his mind, 'Because you are your father's only son.'

Just this one sentence.

It seems to contain a lot of hints.

He couldn't help but think of his lecherous father.

There is also the ancestor who is partial to the second wife.

Treat your aunt as your mother-in-law's daughter-in-law.

And their attitude towards themselves as 'come when called, go when dismissed.'

Everything is so ridiculous and a bit sad.

Obviously, the eldest son is the heir, but he lives worse than the illegitimate sons of other families.

all of these.

It's not that he doesn't know.

But I don’t know how to change.

Sat there for a long time.

Jia Lian immediately found paper, pen, ink and inkstone.

Start writing a letter.

This took up several pages.

The finished product is a thick letter.

He immediately asked Xing'er to take it back to the capital.

Instead, use the fastest way to deliver the message.

It will be delivered to the capital in about three or four days.

If the capital also uses this method to send a reply.

The round trip takes about six or seven days.

He will be able to receive news from his father.

Jia Lian didn't know that he was not the only one who sent the letter back to the capital.

three days later.

At the same time, Jia She received an urgent letter sent back from Jiangnan.

And he met the messenger when he was strolling outside and preparing to return home.

So besides him and the people around him, no one knew that he had received two letters.

The other people in Rongguo Mansion were not aware of it.

Jia She returned to his courtyard and went straight to the study.

After reading the two letters.

A tear flashed in Jia She's eyes.

After calming down.

He immediately began to write a reply.

About half an hour later.

He left the house in a hurry with two written letters.

This was to prepare to send these two letters that same day.

Jiangnan.

In these days of waiting.

Jia Lian did not appear to be fooling around.

He began to ask Lin Ruhai for advice on official affairs.

He also carefully remembered Lin Ruhai's instructions.

"Lian'er, if you really want to enter the officialdom, then you need to have two counselors by your side."

Lin Ruhai offered advice, "You don't understand the people at the bottom of society, and if you want to achieve something, or avoid being pushed out and blamed, you should do it.

It is best to have someone around to give you advice and suggestions, and to remind you when you encounter any problems.

This way you won’t be in danger as easily.”

"My uncle is absolutely right."

Jia Lian knew that it was a good thing to have someone around to offer advice and suggestions.

His face showed an embarrassment, "It's just that my nephew doesn't have any retainers, but my second uncle does have a few people around him.

I'm afraid it's not suitable for my nephew.

I wonder if my uncle can introduce you two to my nephew.

Now, my nephew can only shamelessly ask for help from you, uncle."

"I do have a few suitable people here."

Lin Ruhai thought for a moment and said, "I'll find time to introduce it to you in a couple of days.

You guys can get to know each other then.

Because you will be together for a long time, it is more important that your personalities are compatible."

"Nephew, I will follow your instructions, uncle!"

……

The next day.

Lin Ruhai invited a few people over.

In addition to introducing them to Jia Lian, let them interact with each other.

Lin Ruhai did not make the decision for him again.

A few days passed in a flash.

A letter has arrived from the capital.
