Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 61 Uncle Betrothed His Cousin to Brother Cong?
Whether it's Jia Amnesty or Lin Ruhai, they have already considered their children's marriage.

Three years ago, the old lady was focused on taking her granddaughter to the capital because she was worried that Jia and Lin's family would be far away from each other because of Jia Min's death.

At that time, Rongguo Mansion was far less powerful than when the old man was alive, but Lin Ruhai was in full bloom, and at the very least, he was a high-ranking official in the ministry. How could the old lady see the Lin family break away from Jia's control.

Of course, the Rongguo Mansion has never controlled the Lin family, it was just the old lady's wishful thinking.

She wanted to make the two Yuer into a pair, and Lin Ruhai, who was caught in the vortex of the south of the Yangtze River, also wanted to find a good home for her daughter. If Jia Min's filial piety hadn't passed, Lin Ruhai almost agreed to the engagement.

Thinking about it now, Lin Ruhai felt chills down his spine.

If he had really complied with his mother-in-law's request back then, he might have buried his own daughter in the second room of the Rongguo Mansion.

With Jia Baoyu's temper, how could his daughter be able to bear the Yingyingyanyan that filled the yard?Then Mrs. Wang had a disagreement with his wife in the early years. If the old lady passed away, would Yu'er be tortured to death by Mrs. Wang?

Good risk, good risk!Thanks to Brother Cong, this child has a future, opportunities, and a good temper. He can be said to be a childhood sweetheart with his own daughter. No matter how you look at it, I think it is the best choice.

Lin Ruhai listened to Jia Cong's voice begging for mercy outside and his daughter's happy laughter, and became more and more satisfied with his decision.

"Brother, in my opinion, we might as well settle this matter today to avoid accidents in the future!"

Jia Amnesty smiled deeply: "Where did the accident come from? Ruhai is worried about the old lady?"

Lin Ruhai clasped his hands and said, "Uncle knows me!"

"Hahahaha... don't worry about it. The matchmaker's words are ordered by my parents. After I write the marriage letter, you and I will settle the matter today. After returning to Beijing, I will enter the palace to see you and ask for a marriage gift." Imperial decree. No matter how hard the old lady is, how dare she disobey the imperial decree?"

Jia She laughed loudly, walked to the desk beside him and began to draw up the marriage letter.Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and smiled, and signed his name with a pen after he finished writing.

The two looked at each other with a smile, clapped their hands and swore, and directly settled the marriage of a pair of young children who were still fighting outside.

……

"What? Uncle promised his cousin to Brother Cong?"

Jia Lian, who had been busy outside for a whole day, had a look of incredulity on his face. He looked at the marriage certificate in his hand and opened his mouth in surprise, unable to recover for a long time.

Jia Amnesty was busy writing letters to the capital, glanced sideways at his eldest son, and said dissatisfiedly, "What? Do you think your brother is not good enough for your niece?"

Jia Lian shook her head quickly: "No, father. The son just thinks that this matter is a little...some...Father, the old lady has always wanted to promise her cousin to Baoyu. You and uncle are here, how can the old lady do that?" Confession?"

"Confession? Confession of what?"

Jia She put down the pen in his hand, looked out of the window with sarcasm in his eyes, and said quietly: "Baoyu, the second son of a fifth-rank official, how can he be worthy of the first daughter of a third-rank official? Only my son, Jia She, can be with you." It matches! Confession? When the imperial decree of marriage is delivered to our house, the old lady should be busy coaxing her phoenix egg!"

"But father..."

"Nothing but!"

Jia She interrupted the eldest son, dried the ink on the letter he had just written and sealed it in an envelope, handed it over and said: "Give it to Niu Ben, and let him send it back to the capital quickly. Perhaps, being able to marry this in-law will bring more benefits to our family than just being a good daughter-in-law. It is serious to settle this matter as soon as possible."

On the second day after coming to Yangzhou, Jia Amnesty had already had a long talk with Lin Ruhai all night.The two closed the door and discussed secretly for a long time, Lin Ruhai finally let go of his persistence and vigilance, and sent a secret letter from Yangzhou to the Palace of Qinzheng in the Forbidden City.

Maybe in three to five years, Lin Ruhai will be in charge of the six divisions, and when he knows his destiny at most, he will enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, and the officials will pay homage to the great scholar.

With Lin Ruhai's qualifications, connections, and abilities, whether it is Jia Cong's son-in-law or Jia Lian's nephew, Lin Ruhai will definitely do his best to help.

At that time, there will be Lin Ruhai for Wen, and Marquis Jia En for Wu, and the big house of the Rongguo Mansion will overcome all difficulties and cut through the waves, and the road will be smooth.

Jia Lian put away the letter and was planning to go out to find Niu Ben to arrange delivery.

But I heard a knock on the door: "General, Niu Qianhu is here."

Or is it true that Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be there, and when Niu Ben came in, he cupped his fists and said, "Mr. She, Cui Xuanye recruited, and the money is now in a village outside the Huai'an mansion..."

……

Daiyu walked into the room carrying a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup. Lin Ruhai had just finished approving an official document.

Seeing his daughter looking at the official document in his hand with displeasure, he smiled and joked: "Yu'er has a dark face, is she blaming Daddy for making this marriage for you?"

The original displeasure immediately turned into embarrassment, Daiyu put the soup on the table, shook Lin Ruhai's arm coquettishly: "Daddy is teasing me again, my daughter is ignoring you..."

Lin Ruhai laughed happily and said: "I saw that you and Brother Cong were having a good time, childhood sweetheart, it's also a beautiful story. If Yu'er doesn't want to, I'll go tell your eldest uncle to tear up the marriage certificate."

Daiyu grabbed Lin Ruhai's sleeve and said in a voice like a mosquito, "I'm not unwilling, but this happened too suddenly, my daughter is not used to it, I don't know how to get along with brother Cong from now on."

Lin Ruhai patted the back of the girl's hand, said with a smile: "It's just a marriage letter, how we got along in the past, we will still get along in the future. Brother Cong is a good boy, the reason why Daddy is in a hurry to make this marriage with your uncle is because In the final analysis, I am worried about your future. Our Lin family's heirs are not prosperous, and in your generation, there will be no brothers in the future to help you marry you into the Rongguo Mansion. With your uncle protecting you, Brother Cong would not dare to wrong you. "

"Dare he?"

Daiyu tigress growled, gritted her teeth and said, "Brother Cong dare not let me be wronged!"

Ha ha……

Lin Ruhai looked at the confidence on her daughter's face, and laughed dumbfoundedly: "From now on, don't bully Brother Cong by his ears every day. From now on, you must always stand by Brother Cong to protect him, no matter who you are facing. , you and Brother Cong are one. He is good, you can be good! Remember?"

When Daiyu heard her father say that she and Brother Cong were one, she hugged Lin Ruhai's arm and shook it vigorously, blushing with shame and said: "Why does Daddy keep talking about these things today? My daughter is not married yet. You don't want to marry me." Me?"

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door, and the father and daughter looked out the door.

A round head appeared in the door frame: "Uncle, Daddy, my dad asked me to invite you to the study, the whereabouts of the lost money have been found!"
