Chapter 337 Preparation

After Jia Zhen’s funeral, Jia Lian put all his energy into preparations for his trip to Oara.

The first is the construction of the Grand View Garden.

Jia Lian was not too worried about this.

After half a year of his planning, the prototype of the Grand View Garden has emerged.

There is no problem for Jia Zheng to preside over the remaining step-by-step things.

The only thing worth worrying about is that Jia Zheng is a wealthy man. With his connivance, I am afraid that the greedy style of ink that he suppressed among the slaves will soon rise again.

But that’s okay.

Anyway, Jia Lian has already taken out Jia She’s inheritance, totaling more than 20,000 taels of silver, as promised. He also explained to Wang Xifeng how to deal with the possible shortage of funds for the construction of the garden in the future.

If Jia Zheng indulges the slaves and other corrupt officials, and the deficit is increased, he and Mrs. Wang will naturally find a way, and at most they will add Jia Mu.

This was originally Jia Lian’s idea to waste their respective financial resources, so even if they were embezzled by the minions, Jia Lian would not feel sorry for them at all.

Maybe if you fatten a rat, it will be able to eat more meat when it is slaughtered.

Another serious matter is the Xicheng Military and Horse Division.

Because the Ministry of War did not send a new commander to hand over to him, it was obvious that the emperor still reserved this position for him.

So Jia Lian appointed his cronies, Fan Jin and Xie Jun, to take charge of the daily affairs of the yamen.

These two people, one civil and one military, can restrain each other and will not neglect government affairs because of mutual hostility.

After all, one is a civil servant and the other is a military commander, so they will not interfere with each other's future.

Even so, just to be on the safe side, Jia Lian visited his second uncle and asked him to take care of his Xicheng Military and Horse Division.

As Zhang Song’s official position as the chief seal officer of the Ministry of War, if he had set an eye on the Xicheng Army and Horses Division, I believe that even if Fan and Jie failed to live up to their expectations, the Xicheng Army and Horses Division would not Something big went wrong.

Seeing that the princess is getting married, the good time is approaching.

The imperial court also suddenly focused on this matter and made various coordination and preparations.

As a young emissary and imperial envoy appointed by the emperor, Jia Lian's attention among the government and the public has invisibly increased a lot.

　On this day, Jia Lian sent Daiyu back to the Lin family as agreed.

When she first entered the house, Daiyu had no time to lead Zijuan, Xueyan and others to rearrange and tidy up her house, so she stepped on deerskin boots and walked to the main hall.

As expected, second brother Lian hasn’t left yet.

Hiding behind the screen, Daiyu touched the thing hidden in her sleeve to calm down.

When his father and Jia Lian finished speaking, they walked out gracefully. After giving gifts to the two of them, he took the initiative to pick up the teapot and refill the tea for them, and then stood aside in a very elegant manner.

Lin Ruhai nodded secretly in his heart when he saw that Daiyu was becoming more and more elegant.

It was indeed right to send Yu'er to her grandmother for education.

"Okay, I know you have a lot of things to do these days, so I won't keep you here.

"You just remember my words, lead the troops outside, and you should do it yourself. Pay attention to everything, and protect the safety of the princess and yourself."

Hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Jia Lian sighed in his heart, Lin Ruhai is indeed a model of well-read poetry and loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

At this time, we did not forget to consider the safety of the princess.

He couldn’t help but complain, what if he was not safe if he wanted to protect the princess’s safety?

There’s no need to ask, in Lin Ruhai’s opinion, naturally he will defend the safety of Her Royal Highness to the death!

"Yes, my nephew has remembered.

My uncle should take more care of himself. Sister Lin also begged me to send her back because she was worried about her uncle's health.

Even if my uncle doesn’t want Sister Lin to worry, he should take good care of his body..."

Lin Ruhai smiled and looked at Dai Yu: "Yu'er As expected, she has become more and more sensible."

Lin Daiyu's face turned slightly red, and she felt embarrassed about Jia Lian's behavior of putting gold on her face.

"But you don't have to worry, I know my own health well..."

As soon as Lin Ruhai finished speaking, she couldn't help but frown slightly and coughed lightly. Two sounds caused Daiyu's complexion to change suddenly, and she quickly stepped forward to help him.

When Jia Lian saw this, he was helpless.

He did all the things that needed to be said and the actions that needed to be done. It's just that everyone has his own destiny. With Lin Ruhai's physical condition and strong ambition, I really don't know how many years he can persist!

After a few words of concern, Jia Lian didn't stand up to leave until Lin Ruhai completely recovered.

“Brother Lian, please wait...”

When Daiyu saw that Jia Lian was about to leave, she immediately took a step forward and called out slightly coyly.

When Jia Lian stopped and turned around, she lowered her head slightly and took out a pair of gloves from her sleeves that she had carefully cut using fine silk for more than half a month.

Jia Lian took it, and without looking at it carefully, he knew that these gloves were valuable and not something ordinary people were qualified to enjoy.

After all, the products produced by Daiyu must be high-quality products.

After seeing Daiyu give the gift, her head was buried low, as if she was too embarrassed to introduce it. Jia Lian just cupped her hands and smiled and said: "Thank you, Sister Lin, for taking the trouble."
< br />After saying that, he cupped his hands to Lin Ruhai again, then clutched his gloves and turned around to go out.

When Lin Ruhai saw that her daughter and Jia Lian had a harmonious relationship, her eyes were filled with relief.

I still remember that my daughter used to be introverted and dull, and she would often be fascinated by one thing for half a day. Especially after her mother passed away, she became quite depressed and unhappy.

Unexpectedly, not only has my personality become much more cheerful now, but I have also learned to give gifts to my parents...

Although the things are small, they look like they were made by herself. , showing intention.

However, it seems that the little girl hasn’t made anything for me yet...

Shaking her head, Lin Ruhai felt funny at her inexplicable jealousy.

Seeing Daiyu staring at the door of the room again, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, your second brother Lian is a smart and capable man, and he will definitely return safely this time."

Daiyu came back to her senses. In order to prevent her father from thinking too much, she quickly put away her worries and reluctance and said a few words of conciliation.

"How happy are you with your grandmother? Do you get along harmoniously with their sisters and sisters?"

Asking her daughter to sit next to her, Lin Ruhai asked with concern These come.

Daiyu naturally said that everything was fine, saying that Jia Mu, Jia Lian and others took good care of her.

"What about your cousin Baoyu?"

Seeing Daiyu's sudden puzzled look, Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "In their family, you are the most outstanding person in your life. My two children are probably your cousins ​​Jia Lian and Baoyu.

But the only one I know about is your second brother Lian.

As for Baoyu, I know Not many, just met a few times.

When I went to their house before, I saw that the old lady seemed to love her grandson very much, but your uncle said that he was very disappointing, so I was a little curious.< br />
You have also lived in their house for so long, what do you think of this cousin from your second uncle’s family? ”

Although what Lin Ruhai said was reasonable, Daiyu was not an ordinary girl after all.

As early as when she was in Jia’s house, she had vaguely guessed that Jia Her mother seemed to want to marry her and Jia Baoyu. But her aunt preferred her younger sister's daughter. For this reason, the servants in their family spread the idea of ​​a "good match".

That's it. Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai.

Although Daiyu usually talks little, she actually knows everything in her heart.

Moreover, if the father really wants to understand the character of his relatives’ children , no matter who you ask, such as their housekeeper, maid, or even asking Jia Lian directly, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to ask her than asking her?

It can be seen that the father has more or less that intention.< br />
Even, it was what her grandmother said to her father, so her father came to test her.

Thinking of this, Daiyu frowned, "Although I have lived in their house for a long time, but I usually only spend time with my sisters.

As for cousin Baoyu, I don’t see him usually. I don’t know what his character is like. "

Daiyu said, pouting slightly, showing some dissatisfaction in her heart.

Thanks to Jia Lian's guidance from a few years ago, so For a long time, Jia Baoyu did not have much good impression in Daiyu's heart, but she accumulated a lot of bad impressions.

Especially, the death of her pet Anu not long ago made Daiyu have a negative impression of Jia Baoyu. My senses have dropped to a historical low.

He is still mean to me!

Daiyu is so arrogant, not to mention that Mrs. Wang doesn’t like her very much. Even if the Jia family Everyone wants to recruit her as their daughter-in-law, but as long as she doesn’t like her, it won’t work!

Huh, not even half as good as Lian’s second brother.

Moreover, Daiyu admitted in her heart that in the past, because of Jia Baoyu's flattery and Jia Mu's deliberate cultivation, she foolishly had some fantasies and expectations for Jia Baoyu.

But after the above After Jia Lian's enlightenment, she basically figured it out.

Sure enough, after treating Jia Baoyu as an ordinary cousin, she was able to see through all the bad things about Jia Baoyu. I won’t care too much.
