The Soldier of the Red Mansion

Chapter 111 Lin Daiyu is not good

Wang Xin arrived in Yangzhou, but someone arrived there earlier than him.

When Lin Ruhai saw Wang Xin, he took out a letter without a signature or date.

Wang Xin read it.

Speechless.

What an impossible opponent to hate.

Zhang Jifu sent someone to tell Lin Ruhai that his plan to return to Beijing had failed, and his plan to join the army to prepare for war against Japan had also failed. In the end, he would follow the Beijing camp army back to Beijing as an apology.

What is an apology? Because one thing has gone wrong.

He is very arrogant, but also reveals an attitude that is beyond doubt. Even if you know it, you can't resist, and you can't say anything bad about him, after all, you were the one who ruined him first.

Although the credit for defeating the Japanese pirates still belonged to him as the Minister of War of Yingtian, he used the term "Fu" before.

in short.

Justified and convincing.

Wang Xin said sincerely, "Mr. Lin, it was me who ruined the matter."

"It's not a bad thing, it's just a change of work. But what about you, what are you going to do next?"

Lin Ruhai asked back.

This question is not easy to answer, so I pondered for a moment.

Zhang Jifu's letter did not mention his meeting with Lin Ruhai, but with his wisdom, when he saw the letter, he would naturally wonder why his story was mentioned in it, and then he would know.

If I hadn't appeared in front of Lin Ruhai today, Lin Ruhai wouldn't have let me read this letter.

He thought Lin Ruhai didn't know, and Lin Ruhai pretended not to know. He thought Lin Ruhai didn't know. Zhang Jifu hid a series of deadly moves behind each move, which made it impossible to guard against.

But if you hate him, what he says is justified. He just likes you, so he pursues you openly.

But you have to really follow his ideas.

That would cut off your own path.

He was the only one left.

Going down one road to the end is a helpless act when there is no other choice, which narrows your own path.

What if one day Zhang Jifu asks you to do something you don’t want to do?

Just like going south by yourself.

He was unwilling to follow Lin Ruhai's arrangement, so he chose to cooperate with Zhu Wei. They each got what they needed and were mutually satisfied. This is what it means to be good for both of us, and it is a mature behavior.

Let me tell you the truth.

If he had no other way out and became a complete vassal of Zhang Jifu, he would be the same as Liu Qi. His life would depend entirely on Zhang Jifu.

Of course, anyone else would be eager to hug such thick thighs.

But I am different.

You are obviously different, so why do you still want to be a dog for others?

Qi Jiguang wanted to become Zhang Juzheng's disciple because it was necessary for him to do so.

Qi Jiguang was not a supernatural being, nor was he a person like Li Chengliang who harbored enemies for his own benefit. Moreover, Zhang Juzheng was indeed a famous official, upright and honest, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people. Therefore, Qi Jiguang knew that it was wrong, but he insisted on standing up to support Zhang Juzheng when the emperor was settling accounts with him.

Zhang Jifu is very powerful.

But his methods in the southeast were far inferior to Zhang Juzheng's in terms of positive aspects.

So I will not be his disciple.

This person acts selfishly and appears to be acting in an upright manner, but in fact he is scheming and pretending to be upright. In this respect, Lin Ruhai has never hidden anything and has always been open and honest with himself.

Wang Xin abandoned Lin Ruhai without even a single concrete promise after receiving a few nice words from others, and he didn't know whether the other party would embrace him or not. He thought of someone.

This person is immature.

Zhang Jifu also underestimated himself.

“Just go with the flow.”

"The words of the retired emperor are final, and the words of the prime minister are listened to by those below. As for the emperor, he is the supreme ruler, and we also have to worship him. We should not offend either of them. When gods fight, the little devils will naturally stay away." Wang Xin made a decision.

The only one who wants to treat me like a dog is Zhang Juzheng.

If it was a figure like Zhang Juzheng, it would be fine for me to be his lackey, and work together to save the country, help the world, suppress officials and wealthy people, reduce the burden on the people, strengthen the country and the army, leave my name in history, and pass on a good story. But for other people, forget it.

Lin Ruhai smiled with relief. Wang Xin was Wang Xin after all, and he would never disappoint anyone.

To regard him as a pure warrior must mean that this person has poor vision.

If you don’t even have good vision, how can you talk about talent?

"In that case, return to the Beijing camp and stay at the Jia Mansion. Hiding in the mountain villa is actually a paradise." Lin Ruhai changed the subject, "I have written a letter, please help me take it to the capital."

"who?"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said nothing.

Wang Xin knew about it.

This doting father misses his daughter.

Lin Ruhai loved his daughter so much. The more he loved her, the more he endured the heartache and sent her to the Jia Mansion. He really gave everything for his daughter.

He let his daughter study since she was young and even invited her to become a Jinshi.

Sending her to the Jia Mansion was also for the sake of her daughter's future.

The daughter has lost her mother and brothers, and Lin Ruhai cannot continue to take care of her. What will happen to Lin Daiyu if he is gone one day? This is not the future. It is difficult for a widow with a son to support herself, let alone an orphan girl.

Otherwise, why would they become nuns one after another? It is really a helpless act.

Is it a good thing to be a nun?

Not necessarily.

There are so many nunneries that cannot be described, and the ancients themselves have told many stories about them.

She was sent to the Jia Mansion, a noble and wealthy family, to be trained and learn how to manage the family business so that it would be easier for her to find a good family to marry into in the future.

Ordinary people look at the betrothal gift and dowry.

They look at the family background, the living environment, and who trained them.
Lin Daiyu.

He protected himself, and saw how Old Linzi had planned everything. He felt pity for him, a dignified Imperial Censor of Salt. Wang Xin found it unbelievable that he could do such a pity.

There is no need for me to emphasize repeatedly that Lin Ruhai is very smart and cannot be deceived. What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true.

The fact that he allowed me to bring a letter showed how he treated me.

A smart person would not put himself in a dangerous position, so he did not even mention that he would try to stay and continue to serve as the Imperial Censor of Salt. It seems that he wants to give up. As for the next step, he did not say it. Either it is inconvenient or he himself is not confident enough.

Lin Ruhai will be fine. Lin Daiyu is doted on by Grandmother Jia, so why would it be her turn to worry? So it’s better to worry about herself. Wang Xin smiled bitterly and said, “I’m afraid Master She won’t tolerate me.”

"Ignore him. He doesn't have the final say in Rongguo Mansion."

Lin Ruhai laughed and said, "If you can't even bear this little bit of grievance, he wouldn't dare to let you suffer any grievance."

Wang Xin asked curiously, "Why?"

"You've made it big now. Even Zhang Jifu wants to use you," Lin Ruhai joked. Wang Xin was speechless, and then Lin Ruhai laughed again, "Jia She is short-sighted. He only knows how to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. Once he finds out, he'll definitely turn against you. Just wait and see."

On the side of the nobles, there are indeed more stupid teammates.

Wisdom cannot be inherited.

This is the greatest fairness God has given to ordinary people.

Wang Xin no longer hesitated.

Carrying the letters given to him by Lin Ruhai, Wang Xin was a little hesitant about whether to hand them over to Lin Daiyu personally or ask Qingwen to help pass them on. He guessed that Lin Daiyu was very resentful of him.

After all, I lost every argument I had with myself during the past two months.

Lin Daiyu can't do it.

After losing the argument for two months, I would be furious too. I'm afraid I'll be obsessed with it and keep thinking about how to win it back.
