The days passed peacefully.
Lin Ping hadn't found a suitable house yet, and Lin Mo knew that this wasn't something that could be rushed.
Shui Rong knew that Lin Mo was looking around for houses, so he ordered Wei Li to sell his house on Phoenix Shadow Mountain to Lin Mo.
Once Wei Li made a move, there was nothing to worry about. In less than three days, the name of the house in Phoenix Shadow Mountain changed to Lin.
Lin Mo was also puzzled. Lin Ping had been searching for so long but hadn't found a suitable one. Why was there suddenly a perfect one?
However, Lin Mo didn't mind. This was nothing more than giving him a big bargain because he had a request.
If the enemy didn't move, he wouldn't move. Anyway, there was an advantage. It would be a waste not to take advantage of it, and it might be a waste to take advantage of it. This matter was completely Zhou Yu's matter of beating up Huang Gai. Both of them were willing.
Everything would wait until the other party came knocking on his door. Lin Mo was extremely satisfied with the house, and the price was also suitable. Even though he knew that there was no free lunch in the sky, he couldn't care less. He had to buy it first.
Lin Mo muttered in his heart for a long time and stopped thinking about it. He would deal with whatever came his way. Before everything happened, it was useless to think about it.
After waiting for a few days, there was no movement from Lin Mo. He thought to himself that this kid was quite calm, but he did not know that Lin Mo did not know what was going on.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo had tidied up the house and was having fun inside.
Then, he instructed Lin Ping not to leak the news. If the old fox, Grandmother Jia, found out, it would be very troublesome.
Grandmother Jia had also secretly ordered people to keep an eye on Lin Mo. However, Lin Mo was skilled in martial arts, and the people following him were always shaken off halfway.
Lin Mo wrote a letter to Lin Ruhai, informing him that he had bought a house and hoped that Lin Ruhai could come to the capital to take up his position. He and Daiyu would move out along the way.
When Lin Ruhai received the letter, he pondered for a while. He was almost fifty years old, and his health was deteriorating. It was not a big deal for a son and a daughter to be placed in the Jia residence. Moreover, Lin Mo's letter vaguely revealed that Grandmother Jia wanted Daiyu and Baoyu to get married. Baoyu seemed to only spend his days among his sisters. He had learned all his dandy habits, but he did not have any ambition or responsibility. How could he be worthy of his precious daughter?
Lin Ruhai immediately wrote to the emperor, saying that he was nearly fifty years old and only had one son and one daughter. He had been plagued by illness in recent years and hoped to enter the capital to find a sinecure, spend more time with his children, and enjoy the happiness of his family.
The Emperor quickly approved Lin Ruhai's report to the capital.
Grandmother Jia quickly received the news. She knew that it was Lin Mo's doing, but she couldn't say that it was bad for her son-in-law to enter the capital.
Lin Ruhai first went to visit the emperor. The emperor granted him a month of leave and he would come to take up his post after the holiday.
That night, Lin Mo went to meet Lin Ruhai in private and reported the situation in the Jia residence.
The two of them went to Phoenix Shadow Mountain to look at the house and stayed there that night. Lin Mo shouted in his heart that it was better to stay at his own house!
Lin Ruhai felt strange and asked Lin Mo how he managed to buy such a nice house in such a short time.
Lin Mo smiled cheekily." I guess someone has taken a fancy to your son. This is just a test of time."”
Lin Ruhai was shocked." Who did you offend in Beijing?”
Lin Mo stopped smiling." Don't worry, Father. I didn't provoke anyone. My son opened a small shop in the capital. Business was booming a few days ago, and someone caused trouble. I went to deal with it a little and showed off a little. I don't know which big shot secretly took a fancy to me. The house was just a test.”
Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Mo. Lin Mo was only 12 years old this year, but he was already 1.7 meters tall. Other than his youthful face, his abilities were not to be underestimated.
There were many dignitaries and nobles in the capital, so there would definitely be people who would rope them in. Now that he was unclear about the situation, he could only take it one step at a time.
The next day, the two of them woke up early. After washing up, they had a quick breakfast on the street. Lin Mo hired a sedan chair for Lin Ruhai and sent someone to follow him to visit Grandmother Jia.
"I'll take my leave first. If the Jia family finds out that I didn't return home last night, I'm afraid Old Lady Jia will say something else.”Lin Mo said.
Lin Ruhai nodded." You can go back to the Jia residence first. Tell Daiyu that I will be there soon."”
Lin Mo flew away.
Lin Ruhai sat in a sedan chair and swayed as he arrived at the Jia residence. Everyone in the Jia residence had long received the news and came to the main gate to welcome him.
At the door, his two brothers-in-law, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Baoyu, and a group of men were waiting.
Everyone exchanged a few pleasantries before entering the hall. Lin Mo and Daiyu sat below Grandmother Jia. Lin Mo had already met Lin Ruhai last night and was relatively calm.
It had been a long time since Daiyu had seen her father. She was excited and looked at Lin Ruhai without blinking.
Baoyu saw that Daiyu was dressed differently today. She was wearing a light green dress with a light yellow hairpin. Her slender waist was bound by a cloud belt. Her black hair was tied up in a simple bun with a light green hair band. She was wearing a hollowed-out gold hairpin with some jade ornaments. Baoyu was stunned for a moment.
Seeing this, Lin Ruhai knew that what Lin Mo said was true. He snorted coldly. Baoyu was shocked and did not dare to look at Daiyu again.
Grandmother Jia was unhappy, but she couldn't show it. She immediately called out,"Virtuous son-in-law, please take a seat."
Jia Zheng turned around and glared at Baoyu.
Lin Mo gloated. He didn't even need to do anything, and the big-faced treasure had already provoked everyone's anger.
"Did you come to visit me or…" Grandmother Jia asked with a smile.
(Lin Ruhai rolled his eyes in his heart. You're really shameless. How could you tell that I'm here to visit you? Foreign officials are not allowed to enter the capital without an imperial decree. I came here by imperial decree. It looks like you're just here to bring my daughter and son.)
Lin Ruhai cupped his hands and said," My son-in-law has come to the capital to report on his work. The Emperor has specially granted my son-in-law a month's holiday to settle down. After the holiday, I will be working in the capital."”
Jia She and Jia Zheng congratulated him.
Grandmother Jia asked where Lin Ruhai lived and instructed Jia Lian to clean up a courtyard in the east courtyard to live with Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai said,"I won't disturb you any further. A few years ago, I coincidentally settled down in a property in the capital. You can live there after tidying it up."”
Grandmother Jia's face darkened, but she also knew that Lin Ruhai was not someone she could control.
Then she said,"Dai Yu still has to live with me."”
Lin Ruhai stood up and said,"The Emperor sympathizes with my old age and illness. He specially allowed me to enter the capital to take up a sinecure so that I can take care of my children."”
Baoyu panicked." Sister Lin, you're not allowed to leave. You're staying at our house."”
When Lin Ruhai heard this, he was furious, but he couldn't turn hostile on the spot. He snorted coldly and didn't say anything else.
Jia She snickered at the side. He was just an idiot, yet you guys still treated him like a treasure.
Jia Zheng was furious, but Lin Ruhai still couldn't beat him up." Vile creature, shut up! You have the right to speak here!"
Grandmother Jia was unhappy." He's just a child. He's just used to playing with his sister and can't bear to part with her."”
Lin Mo saw that no one could say anything else, so he stood up and said," Matriarch, you're wrong. Since ancient times, men and women have different seats at the age of seven. Sister, you serve Matriarch every day. Isn't that playing with Sister Tanchun and Sister Xichun? Why was she with cousin? Didn't cousin need to go to school every day?”
