Chapter 165: Dream of Red Mansions Lin Ruhai Extra
All the officials in the court had never expected that although the nightmare of Lin Ruhai was far away from the imperial capital, it still weighed heavily on their minds as before.
Because no one knew what went wrong, the emperor took over Lin Ruhai's role. They acted clearly in front of the emperor, as if the emperor knew all the troubles in their family.
Someone with connections in the palace learned about it. Before leaving the imperial capital, Lin Ruhai went to the palace and gave the emperor a thick book.
Those who knew about this cleverly agreed that the contents of the book might be related to the reason why the emperor knew so much about them.
Some even took desperate attempts to steal the book from the inner court of the imperial palace, but unfortunately they all ended in failure.
……
When Lin Ruhai left the imperial capital, he handed the emperor a manuscript he had written himself, which recorded the private affairs of some officials that he had accidentally heard or seen during his time working in the imperial capital.
The emperor never expected that the things Lin Ruhai gave him contained gossip about those officials.
After reading the manuscripts, the emperor felt that after working with those ministers for so long, it was the first time he got to know their true side.
Similarly, the emperor felt a little regretful. Why did he let Lin Ruhai leave the imperial capital?
It would be great to keep him here. Although Lin Ruhai often chokes the emperor when he speaks, his gossip, oh no, his intelligence network is amazing!
Even the details about the children born to the two concubines in Minister Li's backyard were not known to him by Minister Li. Those who didn't know would have thought that Lin Ruhai was writing the manuscript while lying under someone else's bed.
The emperor's idea was correct, but Lin Ruhai did not hide what he said under the bed. When his mental power covered the Li Mansion, the concubine told her lover about this matter, and he just checked what happened.
Lin Ruhai, who had already left the imperial capital, happily took his wife and daughter to travel around the mountains and rivers.
Lin Ruhai resigned from his official position to the emperor. Now that he had nothing to do, he wanted to take his wife and daughter to travel and enjoy the scenery. After he had enough fun, he would settle down in Yangzhou.
During the trip, Lin Ruhai took Jia Min and Lin Daiyu to a jewelry store and met Jia Baoyu.
However, Jia Min and Lin Daiyu did not recognize Jia Baoyu, and Jia Baoyu did not recognize him either.
Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Baoyu, who had a skinny figure and a hollowed-out face.
He had a dandy smile on his face and was wearing colorful clothes as he was flirting with a pretty girl passing by. His eyes darkened and he was very disgusted with Jia Baoyu's behavior.
When the younger brother beside Jia Baoyu pointed in their direction, Lin Ruhai saw Jia Baoyu's eyes light up when he looked at them.
To be precise, when he saw Lin Daiyu, a hint of surprise flashed in Jia Baoyu's eyes.
Lin Ruhai's face instantly turned as black as charcoal, and he sent down a bolt of lightning that struck Jia Baoyu directly.
A bolt of lightning struck in broad daylight, and by chance it struck one person.
In this superstitious age, people stay away from people who are struck by lightning, believing that those who are struck by lightning must have done bad things and are being punished by God.
Some people recognized Jia Baoyu and knew about his romantic affairs, so they had no sympathy at all for him being struck by lightning.
After Lin Ruhai struck Jia Baoyu with a bolt of lightning, he wanted to know what happened to the people from the four major families who left the imperial capital.
The Wang family and the Shi family had completely fallen on depravity, with the men doing hard labor or making a living by reselling their ancestors' antique calligraphy and paintings. The Xue family still had some family heritage, and even after leaving the imperial capital and finding a small place, they were still wealthy gentry.
The Jia family is related to the Xue family, and relying on the Xue family, Jia Baoyu lives a good life.
Now that they no longer interfere with his life, Lin Ruhai naturally won't care about them anymore, but continues to travel around with his wife and daughter, during which time he can also receive letters from Lin Lei's family.
As a soldier, Lin Lei naturally took it as his responsibility to defend his country. He could not always be with his parents to fulfill his filial duties, but whenever he got something good outside, he would send it to Yangzhou to give to Lin Ruhai and others, and also write letters to them to let them know he was safe.
In the letter, Lin Lei talked about how he was lucky enough to escape danger every time.
Every time he saw this, Lin Ruhai would complain in his heart: "That's because the protective shield I gave you worked, not because you, a stinky boy, were lucky."
When Lin Ruhai and his group returned to their old home in Yangzhou after having enough fun, they found that the things Lin Lei had sent almost filled the entire room.
The old slave who was guarding the box didn't dare to open it on his own and could only wait for Lin Ruhai and the others to come back and deal with it.
In this way, Lin Ruhai took Jia Min and Lin Daiyu, and the three of them sat on the soft carpet, talking about some interesting things about their trip while opening the gifts sent by Lin Lei.
The fairy aura that Lin Daiyu was born with disappeared after she became an adult, and all the things hiding in the dark and eyeing Lin Daiyu disappeared.
After Lin Ruhai confirmed that Lin Daiyu was safe, he removed the protective shield from Lin Daiyu.
After returning to Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai was still regarded as the amiable Mr. Lin by the people, and they all warmly welcomed his return.
Only local officials knew about Lin Ruhai’s “achievements” in the imperial capital, and they were respectful and polite to him, fearing that Lin Ruhai would hold a grudge against them.
The Lin family has a daughter, so naturally someone would be eyeing her.
Just less than a month after Lin Ruhai returned, Jia Min received several invitations to flower-viewing banquets hosted by wives of officials, wanting Jia Min to bring Lin Daiyu to attend. The purpose was self-evident.
Lin Ruhai didn't want his daughter to be so old and still unmarried, so he discussed with Jia Min what kind of son-in-law to find for his daughter.
Of course, Lin Ruhai thought it would be a good idea to find a son-in-law who would live with his wife, but he was afraid that choosing a Phoenix man would harm his daughter.
When he reached middle age, Lin Ruhai discovered that one day he would have to use his mental power to choose a son-in-law for his daughter.
Lin Ruhai used his mental power to observe the situations of each of the families mentioned by the officials' wives to see if they were real.
After much selection, only a colleague he had worked with before, Wei Zhi, and his son, Wei Jieming, were barely qualified.
After Lin Daiyu and Wei Jieming had been together for some time, they found that they were in tune with each other in every way.
Lin Ruhai saw the sweet scene of the two young people and finally had to bear the sadness and send his daughter to marry.
The two families lived close to each other, so Lin Daiyu could return to her parents' home at any time after getting married. If Lin Daiyu was wronged in her husband's family, Lin Ruhai would be the first to stand up for her.
When Lin Lei brought his beloved woman home to meet his parents, his sister was already pregnant with her second child.
Lin Ruhai observed the girl Lin Lei brought back for a while and found that she was a good girl. He could see that she had the qualities to be a good wife and mother in the future.
Jia Min passed away not long after Lin Lei's grandson was born. The modern medicines in Lin Ruhai's space had run out long ago. In order to make Jia Min live longer, Lin Ruhai tried every possible means but still failed to keep Jia Min.
Lin Ruhai lived longer, outliving one or two grandchildren. When the third grandchild died, Lin Ruhai's life finally came to an end at the age of 104.
