Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　Concubine Zhang sighed and smiled bitterly: "This slave knows that my brother has caused too much trouble, and this is also his life."

　　Just as Jia Zhen was about to speak, Jia Lian tugged at Jia Zhen's sleeve, "Brother Zhen, take a step to speak."

　　Jia Zhen thought for a while, and went to the next wing with Jia Lian.

　　Jia Lian anxiously said to Jia Zhen, "Brother Zhen, you must give a helping hand to save him. It's a brother begging you!"

　　Jia Zhen asked curiously, "What's your relationship with that Aunt Zhang?"

　　Jia Lian hurriedly closed the door and said, "Yuanzhen begged me, I saw that she was pitiful, and I agreed when my heart softened."

　　"Yuanzhen?" Jia Zhen smiled and said, "Uncle Lin hasn't left yet. Is it appropriate for you to be like this?"

　　Jia Lian hurriedly denied it: "Brother Zhen, don't talk nonsense, Yuanzhen and I... she is innocent."

　　Jia Zhen looked at Jia Lian's expression, why didn't she know their relationship?He whispered, "Did you get it?"

　　"Yeah!" Jia Lian's face was instantly pale, "No, how is that possible?"

　　Jia Zhen sneered: "I think you are too bold! Humph!"

　　Jia Lian begged: "Brother Zhen, my good brother! Don't tell me!"

　　Jia Zhen sneered: "Even I can see through your relationship at a glance. Who do you think the room is full of people who don't know? It's just that Uncle Lin is so sick that he doesn't want to talk about it!"

　　Jia Lian felt a little relieved, "That's good!"

　　Jia Zhen looked down on Jia Lian's guilty conscience to catch a thief.Although he has surpassed it, it will not be this cowardly.

　　"You can handle your own business. I'm too lazy to take care of it."

　　Jia Lian only pulled Jia Zhen: "Brother Zhen, you haven't agreed to Yuanzhen yet!"

　　Jia Zhen hesitated for a while, then said categorically: "This cannot be done. It cannot be done in the name of Jia's house."

　　Jia Lian said in despair, "If I lose my trust in her, she will definitely ignore me."

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said: "If she approaches you on this condition, what do you want her to do with this kind of woman? I advise you to die early. Not only will it hurt yourself, but also Uncle Lin's reputation. Besides, If you are with her, how can you bring it back to Shenjing? Feng girl is not a good person."

　　Jia Lian didn't seem to hear it, just whispered something.

　　At this time, Zijuan called from outside: "Master Zhen, Second Master Lian, Master Lin woke up and told you to come over!"

　　When Jia Zhen heard this, she hurriedly pushed the door out and rushed to the inner hall.

　　Lin Ruhai was sitting on the head of the bed, Daiyu was holding a small bowl of porridge in her hand, "Dad, just eat a little."

　　Lin Ruhai saw Jia Zhen approaching, looked at him carefully for a while, and then smiled: "Are you Jia Junmen?"

　　Jia Zhen took three steps and took two steps, stepped forward and said, "Uncle, you can just call me Brother Zhen."

　　Lin Ruhai stroked his beard, nodded and said, "So, I'll call you a nephew! Yu'er often talks about you in my ear, whether it's in the Rong Mansion or on the way back, I need your help, thank you. It's gone!"

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "Uncle is out, and I treat Daiyu as my younger sister. It's my duty."

　　"Okay, okay, okay!" Lin Ruhai suddenly had a painful look on his face, and Daiyu exclaimed, "Dad, how are you?"

　　Lin Ruhai chuckled and said, "Daddy is fine. I still have something to tell your brother." Obviously, he recognized Jia Zhen's identity as Daiyu's brother.

　　Daiyu stood up obediently, glanced at Jia Zhen, then lowered her head and stood aside.

　　So Jia Zhen sat down on the edge of the bed, "Uncle, if you have anything to do, just tell me."

　　Lin Ruhai rested for a while, and then his rapid breathing gradually calmed down, "My dear nephew, I'm afraid I won't get better from this disease."

　　Jia Zhen wanted to comfort one or two, but Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Since ancient times, it's not a good idea to die at the age of fifty." My Yu'er." He looked at Daiyu, who was crying beside him, with doting admiration, "She has no brothers and sisters, if I am not here, although my grandfather loves her, she is also old, or she may not be afraid. I'm afraid that Yu'er will be lonely and helpless. Since the illness, I have always been worried about this. Now, my nephew has recognized her as her sister, which has really put my mind down."

　　Having said that, Lin Ruhai grabbed Jia Zhen's hand and said solemnly: "My nephew, I will leave Yu'er to you to take care of her now. In the future, she will have no father or mother, and you will be the only elder brother, you should take good care of her. Wait for her, please!"

　　Jia Zhen nodded again and again, and said solemnly, "Uncle, don't worry, Jia Zhen will live up to her trust, take good care of Daiyu, and make her worry-free for the rest of her life."

　　Lin Ruhai smiled reassuringly, and said to Daiyu: "Yu'er, daddy entrusted you to your brother, you have to listen to his words, don't play a childish temper in everything. You are also old, and you will find a good one in a few years. Lang Jun is married, and in the future, he will marry his husband and teach his son, and let your mother and your father live safely and securely. Even if we are underground, we can feel at ease."

　　Lin Ruhai's forehead was dripping with beads of perspiration. He resisted it and stretched out a trembling hand to grab Daiyu, "Son, daddy didn't leave anything for you. Your mother's dowry is still in your pocket. It's a pity that Daddy can't see you put on your wedding dress."

　　Daiyu burst into tears.Li Ruhai clutched his chest and said with some difficulty: "I don't know when I will wake up next time, maybe I'll just go. I have one more thing to ask my nephew."

　　Jia Zhen said hurriedly, "Uncle, please tell me, my nephew will definitely do it."

　　Lin Ruhai took a long breath: "My Lin family has several generations of lords, and I have come to the family to inherit the incense, and I have left tens of thousands of books, among which... there are many precious ancient books and rare books. This is useless to other people. I am only afraid of me After death, the books were all lost, and I would like to entrust them to my nephew for safekeeping!"　

　　Jia Zhen felt her scalp go numb when she heard it.Tens of thousands of rolls?When did he read the book?Deliberately refused, but looking at Lin Ruhai's cautious appearance, I'm afraid it won't work if you don't agree.

　　So he nodded and said, "Uncle, don't worry, these books will be Daiyu's dowry in the future, and I promise that there will be no shortage of one."

　　After hearing Jia Zhen's assurance, Lin Ruhai closed his eyes with relief and a smile spread across his face.

　　Daiyu hurried forward and called.Lin Ruhai opened his eyes, looked at her and said, "Yu'er, Daddy is fine." As he spoke, he took out a roll of paper from his arms and handed it to Jia Zhen.

　　Jia Zhen came to look at it in doubt, but it was a will, which clearly wrote the method of dividing the property of the Lin family: Daiyu gave out her aunt's dowry and tens of thousands of books, and also received [-] taels of cash, and the rest The ancestral home is set up by the Guizu for clan learning, and the land and property are all under the control of the Guizu.His two aunts also shared three thousand taels of silver and ordered them to go home and remarry.

　　Jia Zhen put away the will and said to Lin Ruhai, "Uncle's treatment is very good, and my nephew must follow suit."

　　Lin Ruhai just nodded, then passed out again.

　　Daiyu shouted out anxiously, "Doctor, doctor! Look at my father!"

　　The doctor had been living in the wing room, and when he heard the call, he hurried in to check the pulse.

　　Jia Zhen asked, "How?"

　　The doctor stroked his beard and sighed without speaking.

　　Seeing that the doctor seemed to have something to say, Jia Zhen pulled him aside and asked in a low voice, "What can you do?"

　　The doctor said, "The patient is terminally ill and is now refractory to medicine stones."

　　"Alas!" Jia Zhen sighed, "Is there any way to extend my life? Even if it's only for one day!"

　　The doctor hesitantly said, "If it is just to prolong life, acupuncture and moxibustion can be applied, and a hundred-year-old ginseng can be used as a guide to prolong life for several months. However, it will definitely be unconscious, and it will be no different from death."

　　Jia Zhen hesitated for a while and couldn't bear to see Daiyu heartbroken, so she decided, "You only need to take medicine, and ginseng is enough."

　　The doctor went to prepare himself without mentioning it.

　　Jia Zhen helped Daiyu and comforted: "Sister, uncle just passed out. I'll take care of it. Go back and rest!"

　　Daiyu shook her head stubbornly, "No, I want to guard Daddy. In case he's not around..."

　　Jia Zhen took Daiyu's hand and said to Zijuan next to her, "I told you to send your sister back to rest, why is she here again?"

　　Zijuan did not speak.

　　Daiyu said, "Brother, don't blame Zijuan, I'm here."

　　Jia Zhen said softly: "Listen to my brother, you go to rest. If you don't rest, I will feel distressed. "

　　A blush appeared on Daiyu's face, she glanced at her sleeping father, and finally nodded in agreement.She walked to the door, turned her head and said to Jia Zhen, "Brother has to rest too." After that, it seemed that her ears were blushing, and she hurriedly lowered her head and left.

　　Not to mention Jia Zhen guarding Lin Ruhai and filial piety for Daiyu.Jia Lian hesitated again and again, secretly said a few words to Aunt Zhang, and then left.

　　In the front hall, a young man surnamed Lin came, claiming to be the nephew of Mr. Lin, asking for three and four, as if he was the master.Timur was guarded, and hurried to the back to report Jia Zhen.

Chapter [-] A Disorganized Heart

　　 Jia Zhen came to the front hall full of anger, and Lin Xin was still yelling, just like the owner.

　　Jia Zhen sat directly in the hall, staring at Lin Xin coldly.Lin Xin was a little frightened, and she didn't know where Jia Zhen came from, so she could only ask respectfully, "Dare to ask your Excellency..."

　　"Go away!" Jia Zhen spat out a word.

　　 Lin Xin blushed suddenly, and said angrily, "Who is your Excellency? Dare to come to my Lin residence to cause trouble? Butler! Butler! Quickly drive this guy away!"

　　Next to him, Timur, Li Song and Zhang Deli stood with swords and glared angrily.

　　Lin Xin took a few steps back and panicked, "You...you can't..."

　　Jia Zhen glanced at him in disgust, "Uncle Lin is still here, and so is my sister. When will it be your turn to issue the commander? Where did you come from and where did you go? Otherwise, hum!"

　　Lin Xin stood in the hall, still uneasy.After hesitating for a while, he summoned Yu Yong and asked, "Is that the master of Jia's house in the hall?"

　　Jia Zhen glanced down at him a little, "I am Jia Zhen!"

　　Oh!It turned out to be this devil king who specializes in copying homes!Lin Xin came from Suzhou, how did he not know that Jia Zhenwei was famous?So the last bit of courage was gone. "Next... Little nephew will say goodbye now!" Lin Xin hurriedly left, unaware that Jia Zhen and him should be of the same generation.

　　After driving Lin Xin away, Jia Zhen had no sense of accomplishment, because he knew that this certain Lin was the chosen heir of their clan, and once Uncle Lin returned to heaven, he would still come after all.When the time comes, I will teach him a lesson. The huge family property should belong to Daiyu, not a penny or a piece of paper.

　　"Where did Lian'er go?" Jia Zhen wondered why Jia Lian didn't show up and asked.

　　The housekeeper of Lin's house approached and replied, "Go back to the uncle's words and listen to the people below. Second Master Lian took two servants and went out with a bag."

　　"Going out with a burden?" Jia Zhen suddenly thought of something, her face darkened immediately: "Stupid!" Jia Lian thought he could do it alone?Don't you want to take advantage of Wang Ziteng and his Jia Zhen?He pondered for a while, and then ordered Li Song: "Go and inquire to see how Jia Lian behaves? As soon as there is news, report it immediately!"

　　Li Song took the order and left.

　　Besides, Jia Lian went out the door and went straight to the Yangzhou government office.He promised in front of Yuanzhen that he would rescue her brother.How can a man be unbelievable?

　　When he arrived at the Yanei, the prefect happened to be absent.When the master saw Jia Lian, he immediately smiled.Jia Lian took advantage of the situation to inquire about Zhang Wei's murder.The master smiled without saying a word.

　　Jia Lianyin handed it over to the master with a silver ingot hidden in his sleeve.Only then did the master give Jia Lian a clear direction: "It's only natural that killing people to pay for their lives! Only in this case there is still something to discuss. Such as fighting, manslaughter, whether the circumstances are serious or not is within the prefect's mind."

　　Jia Lian nodded again and again: "But how can I convince the prefect?" He shoved another piece of silver into it.

　　The master took it skillfully: "Nothing else is needed. If you do one thing well, I will keep the Zhang Wei beheading the prisoner and change it to exile. If you think of another way, it will only take a month or two to come out."

　　Jia Lian asked anxiously, "What do you want to do?" The master smiled meaningfully: "A few months ago, Lin Yushi seized a batch of salt yin, many of which were sent by nobles, and many people brought lawsuits against them. Going to the prefect, the prefect is very annoying!"

　　Jia Lian often interacts with these people on weekdays, and as soon as he hears it, he understands the overtones: I am afraid that this batch of salt leads is smuggled by the prefect.

　　"But Uncle Lin is so sick that he can't even speak. How can I convince him?"

　　The master smiled and said, "You only need to give me one piece of the printed approval, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

　　Jia Lian thought to herself that Yuanzhen should be able to do this in her inner house.So he agreed, and the two parties made an appointment.

　　When Jia Lian left, the prefect hurriedly came out to inquire, and the master cupped his hands and smiled, "As expected!"

　　Jia Lian came out of the mansion with a great heart, and went back to the manor to discuss with Concubine Zhang without mentioning it.

　　When Li Song told Yuanwei to Jia Zhen, Jia Zhen scoffed.Even if this matter is exposed, it will not implicate him. He has the intention to ignore it, but if it involves Lin Ruhai and endangers Daiyu, then he has to take care of it.Jia Zhen ordered people to investigate the batch of salt leads in detail to see what was so tricky!

　　Seeing that Jia Zhen was done with her work, Zi Juan came over and said, "Master, the girl has something to tell you."

　　Jia Zhen asked, "Your girl is still in the showroom?"

　　Zijuan said with a smile: "Now the Zhuoyingshui Pavilion is waiting for the uncle to go!"
