Chapter 87: I'm dying
As the emperor's confidant, Lin Ruhai provided secret funds for the emperor's salt affairs in Jiangnan for life and death.
For the sake of the emperor's career, even if he lost his wife and children, he would almost be poisoned to death.
If the emperor does not give such a loyal minister favorable treatment, who will dare to work hard for him in the future?
In addition, the Jingying Jiedushi has always been passed down from the Jia family, and Lin Ruhai, as the son-in-law of the previous Duke Rong, took over this position without any problem.
It did not have to change the position in the court, but also promoted the emperor's determination to attach importance to military preparations. It also rewarded the confidant who made great contributions. All parties could explain it well.
In the emperor's opinion, this matter was done beautifully.
Perhaps the only person who is unhappy is Wang Ziteng.
Unlike the Jia family's children who are all waste and don't know anything, Wang Ziteng is definitely a figure. He is very clear about the importance of the governor of the Beijing camp, which is the cornerstone of his future climbing up and even entering the cabinet.
But now he was suddenly taken away. Although he was promoted to him and became a civil servant, the real power in his hands was not comparable to before.
Wang Ziteng was naturally unwilling to give up. He spent a lot of money on activities in Beijing and left a lot of relationships. He even asked his sister to blow Jia Zheng's ears and let Jia Zheng, a prodigal son, talk about the Jia family's incense.
Jia Zheng is a fool. The incense that Jia Yuan, Jia Yan, and even Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua have spent countless efforts to get was taken as a roadside cabbage and used at will. He took all this for granted.
As a result, when something happened to the Jia family and needed life-saving, there was no so-called family friends who had long since lost their incense.
Wang Ziteng's activities are very strong, but unfortunately it turns out to be useless.
The emperor's intentions have been decided, and he feels that he has not treated him badly, so he naturally cannot change his orders every day.
In this way, Lin Ruhai's transition from civil and military to serve as the governor of the Jingying was settled.
The official ship was sailing on the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou, and today the windless speed was very slow.
Wang Xiao met Lin Ruhai in the cabin and exchanged some experiences with him about taking over the Beijing camp. He said goodbye and left when he took the medicine.
In Wang Xiao's view, the poison that the Miao people put on Lin Ruhai was parasite.
Although he didn't know how to deworm, it was always okay to take deworming medicine.
When I arrived on the deck, I saw Lin Daiyu looking out at the shore with her maid.
"I feel that you are not in a high mood and have any worries?" Wang Xiao came to Lin Daiyu and asked quietly.
Lin Daiyu bowed her head quietly, "This period of time in Yangzhou City was the happiest time in my life. Now that I have left, I feel so uncomfortable."
As he spoke, Lin Meimei, who looked sad, looked sad, even took a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes.
“Hahahaha~”
The originally sad topic was completely broken by Wang Xiao's laughter.
Lin Daiyu, whose eyes were red, immediately glared at Wang Xiao.
He was so sad that he didn't come to comfort him but laughed at himself. Lin's breathing was getting stronger and he reached out to pinch Wang Xiao's arm.
“So hard.”
Wang Xiao had strong muscles, and Lin Daiyu's little strength could move in front of his strong body.
Seeing that Wang Xiao was not willing to give in at all, Lin Daiyu was so angry that she was about to fall into golden beans.
"Silly girl." Wang Xiao raised his hand and rubbed her hair. "How old are you, this life is still the same. Your life has just begun, and the beautiful life of the future is waving to you."
Wang Xiao said nothing wrong.
In the world of Dream of Red Mansions, Lin Daiyu after Lin Ruhai's death became a real child of miscalculation. A child without fathers and mothers has many destinies, and Lin Daiyu's death in the Grand View Garden is the most true portrayal.
But now that Lin Ruhai survived with the help of Wang Xiao, Lin Daiyu has the greatest reliance.
With fathers taking care of Lin Daiyu, there is no need to be sad at all.
"What you want to do now is not to feel sad about spring and autumn here, but to think about how to manage your family."
Lin Daiyu looked at Wang Xiao in confusion, unable to understand what he was saying.
Wang Xiao asked Zijuan to pour him tea, "Your father returns to Beijing to be an official, then you have to follow your father to live in the old house of Lin. Your aunt is not here, and your uncle has no re-strings. Who is the one who is in charge of the family if you don't control the family?"
Now Lin Meimei understands that she is coming, she is going home.
Since being sent to the Jia Mansion when he was eight years old, so many years have passed, Lin Daiyu has unknowingly regarded the Jia Mansion as her home.
Now that Lin Ruhai is back, she naturally has no reason to keep her at her grandmother’s house.
For some reason, Lin Daiyu felt a sense of unbearable feeling in her heart. She was already used to living in the Jia family.
"The weather is good today, let's play chess."
Wang Xiao asked Zijuan to get the chessboard and turned around to tease Lin Daiyu, "I haven't been able to beat you in the past two days, I'm not willing to give up."
After staying in the Ming Dynasty for so long, Wang Xiao was very proficient in riding horses and shooting archery, painting and reading.
But he really has no interest in playing Go, and he prefers to play Monopoly.
Compared to practicing swords, writing, drawing, shooting archery, the smart Lin Daiyu finally discovered a project where she could gain the upper hand. She would pester Wang Xiao to play the game almost every day and enjoy the joy of victory.
In short, Wang Xiao's chess skills are of the ability to play. Compared with Lin Daiyu, he naturally cannot play others.
Lin Meimei is sharp-tongued and has a rare chance to beat Wang Xiao, who is almost omnipotent. She will make a few jokes every time she wins chess. This makes Wang Xiao really serious.
Even if Wang Xiao has a high comprehension ability, he cannot do it even if he improves his chess skills in a short period of time. So he used a method similar to cheating.
That is to return to the modern world through time and space links to learn chess scores.
In the modern world, consulting is developed, and you can basically find any kind of information you want to search for.
There were more ways to make chess and chess on the Internet. Wang Xiao recorded one and ran over to compete with Lin Daimei.
"The second brother has been greatly improved recently." Lin Daiyu admired Wang Xiao very much. Wang Xiao's chess skills were very poor at the beginning, but then he changed his routines every day. It is not easy to win Wang Xiao now.
When a man has the ability, he can naturally attract women's attention. This is the same in any era.
"Overall, the third in the world." Wang Xiao waved his hand modestly.
Lin Meimei looked at him with her eyes flashing, "Who is the number one and the second in the world?"
He asked Wang Xiao in an instant. He thought carefully, "It should be Gu Li and Ke Jie."
Lin Daiyu blinked and thought for a while, but she had never heard of the names of these two people.
The days of sailing are quite boring, but it’s pretty good to have a little beauty accompanying her to play chess and practice swords every day.
That morning, I practiced a swordsmanship on the deck. The panting girl Lin stroked her hair in her ears and asked happily, "Second brother, do you think my martial arts skills can walk around the world?"
"Walking in the world?" Wang Xiao looked up and down at the thin Lin Daiyu, rubbed his chin and said, "Just like you, if you really go to the world, you will be caught on the first day."
"Hmph." Lin Daiyu raised her small short sword specially created for her in dissatisfaction. "I have a sword!"
"Then do you eat, drink water, or sleep? They can put sweat medicine in food and water, or attack at night. In fact, there is no need to be such a trouble. Although you have learned some swordsmanship, your strength is too small. What should you do if you really face a strong man? If they don't go to you with dizzying tricks, they will directly drop ten times with one force?"
Lin Daiyu's face was so angry that she stomped her feet and turned around to sit down on the chair, angrily ignoring Wang Xiao.
Her age is exactly when she yearns for the outside world.
Living in the deep courtyard for many years, my understanding of the outside world comes from story-telling novels. Lin Daiyu, who is regarded as a canary, envies those female heroes who can walk around the world.
Wang Xiao took the sword and sat down opposite her, "Teaching you the sword technique is not to let you walk around the world, but to let you have the ability to protect yourself when you encounter danger. And the most important thing in walking around the world is not to have high martial arts skills."
This aroused Lin Daiyu's interest, and she asked, "What is that?"
Wang Xiao raised his hand and pointed his forehead, "It's a mind. When you go out, you must be smart, learn to distinguish other people's hearts, be proficient in observation, and be able to detect dangers in time. In fact, even so, it is still very dangerous to wander outside. Because there are many bad people in the world, and all kinds of private methods are emerging one after another. As long as you get hit once, it's like you're all done."
After looking at Lin Meimei, Wang Xiao joked, "If a girl goes out to walk and is taken down by someone, she will definitely be taken back to the village to be the wife of the village."
Lin Daiyu blushed. The woman was premature and could understand what Wang Xiao meant at her age.
Leave a word that the second brother is not a good person, so he hurriedly got up and ran back into the cabin.
Wang Xiao thought that martial arts were actually useful, but he was cheated by the Five Yue Sword Sect in the Sword World of Swords before.
The sword technique they gave was correct, but they did not give matching internal skills. Simply put, it looks like practicing it after practicing it.
Also, from a martial arts perspective, he is already old, with his muscles and bones fixed and his meridians fixed, and he can't become a real master no matter how hard he learns.
Of course, even a wishing system that can travel through countless time and space is available. Wang Xiao believes that the legendary genius treasure and even the famous Nine Yin Scriptures Bone Forging must exist. As long as it can be found, it will inevitably be transformed.
As for now, strong physical fitness and superb shooting skills, coupled with the swordsmanship of the Five Mountains Sword Sect who have been practicing for many years, are enough.
Just as he said just now, the mind is even more important.
No matter how long the journey is, it will end. The journey will finally return to the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
There were servants from the Jia family who had received letters early on waiting on the dock with carriages.
The emperor also gave Lin Ruhai a holiday and went to meet him without having to come back. The group got on the carriage and headed towards Rongguo Mansion.
Seeing that the Jia family servants were dressed in bright clothes, they showed their might on the road to drive away the people, and even when they met Guan Jie, they would shout loudly to let others give way. Wang Xiao knew that the Jia family was really on the verge of complete decline.
It is said that the son-in-law is half a son. Lin Ruhai almost died in Yangzhou City after many years of separation. This time he came to the Jia family caused a great sensation.
Not only did the well-known people come to see him, but Jia Mu even called out to my son in tears.
If you want to talk about the scene, it is just a word of chaos.
After Wang Xiao gave his salute, he became an invisible man, standing silently in the corner to observe everything in front of him.
Before he could clearly distinguish the many characters, a scorching gaze fell on him.
Wang Xifeng, like a fairy concubine, was staring at Wang Xiao with her eyes that she wanted to eat people.
Before Wang Xiao could speak, Wang Xifeng, who was full and beautiful, had already walked over quietly, holding his hand and walked outside.
He pulled Wang Xiao all the way to a small courtyard, and waved his hand to let the maids and maids in the courtyard leave. Wang Xifeng pushed open the door and pushed Wang Xiao in.
Wang Xiao was a little depressed and didn't understand what this beauty wanted to do.
Before he could speak, Wang Xifeng rushed over and hugged him tightly.
"You have been in a state of disgrace for so long, so I'm so anxious."
Seeing Wang Xifeng snatching his clothes in a hurry, Wang Xiao was dumbfounded.
