Chapter 145 Lin Daiyu: It’s really a misunderstanding!
……

Lin Ruhai has been very busy during his stay in Beijing. In addition to meeting with former colleagues, he also had to carefully calculate the salt administration in Lianghuai. It was not until today when he boarded the ship that he had some free time.

Thinking about the marriage between the two families that he had agreed with Jia Jing a few days ago, Lin Ruhai decided to tell Daiyu about it.

So she doesn’t have to worry about it all day.

“Dad, you’re looking for me?”

Lin Daiyu has been a little happy recently, probably because she went south with her father to celebrate the New Year.

Lin Ruhai smiled slightly.

“That thing is done.”

Lin Daiyu was stunned and a little confused.

“That thing? What thing?”

Lin Ruhai knew that his daughter was shy and embarrassed to admit it, but he didn’t care. He just smiled and said, “It’s okay if you forgot. Just be careful to change your words in the future. Don’t call him Rong’er Rong’er. Call him brother.”

“what?”

“why?”

Lin Daiyu looked at her father with her eyes wide open.

Very confused!
Lin Ruhai said as a matter of course: “He is older than you, if you don’t call him brother, what should you call him?”

Lin Daiyu: “Am I not her aunt?”

“Yu’er.”

Lin Ruhai said earnestly: “Don’t be embarrassed now. Rong’er is indeed a good kid. Since you two like each other, Daddy…”

“and many more!”

Lin Daiyu had to interrupt her father.

“What did Daddy say? What about mutual affection?”

“But I am her aunt.”

“Daddy, how could you say such a thing!”

Lin Daiyu stamped her feet anxiously, her face flushed.

Lin Ruhai looked at his daughter and smiled, “Yu’er, that’s enough. You said it openly that day. It was all your idea.”

“You don’t know, your father was heartbroken at that time.”

Lin Daiyu: “…”

Did she mean it?

“Dad, you misunderstood, I…”

“Well, I know all about it.”

“That painting of ‘The Drunken Young Master Sitting on a Peony Quilt’ is a good one.”

Lin Daiyu’s head buzzed.

How could Daddy know that painting…

“That, that, it’s really not drawn by me.”

Lin Ruhai looked at his shy daughter and continued to smile: “Where is the word? Who wrote it?”

“The words were written by my daughter.”

“Isn’t that what it is?”

Lin Daiyu: “…”

Seeing that his daughter finally stopped ‘quibbling’, Lin Ruhai said seriously: “Brother Jing and I have already decided on this matter. Daddy is not the kind of old stubborn person who would block you from meeting. You can just do what you usually do.”

Lin Daiyu recovered quickly.

Although I was still very shy in my heart, I did not have any resistance.

After all, it’s the parents’ orders.

I have to obey!

It’s a pity that my generation…

“Dad, doesn’t that mean you are of a lower generation? You can’t call Grandpa ‘brother’ anymore.” Lin Daiyu suddenly said.

Lin Ruhai: “…”

“Well, let’s talk about our own affairs first.”

“You haven’t married yet, have you? Why are you in such a hurry?”

Lin Daiyu: “…”

Who is in a hurry!

Lin Daiyu stomped her feet and walked out of the attic.

The building ship is very spacious, with six independent rooms on the second floor.

Lin Ruhai lived in the room near the front, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baoqin lived in the middle row, and the last few rooms were empty.

Jia Jing doesn’t live here.

Jia Rong was visiting the warship and was reluctant to leave.

After Lin Daiyu came out, she met Baoqin.

“Aunt Lin, look at the clouds in the sky.”

Baoqin stood on tiptoe and pointed at the distant horizon.

Lin Daiyu nodded slightly, without looking at the clouds in the distance, but smiled and said: “Niece Baoqin, go and pour a cup of tea for aunt.”

I don’t know how long this aunt can last. While no one knows yet, we should quickly appoint someone to take charge.

After hearing this, Xue Baoqin obediently went into the room and poured a bowl of tea for Lin Daiyu. “Aunt, have some tea.”

“Yes, good niece.”

“Aunt Lin, I feel like you seem different today.” Baoqin said suddenly.

“What’s different?”

“Hmm…” Baoqin thought for a moment, “It seems that people are in high spirits when they are happy?”

Lin Daiyu suddenly felt like her tail was stepped on.

“Pah, that’s nonsense.”

“No!”

“I’m so annoyed today!”

seniority in the family!

Do I have to call Xichun aunt when I see her from now on?
She even made fun of Baochai that day.

How annoying!
It’s all Rong Ge’er’s fault!
Why is your seniority so low?

……

Jia Rong has been eating and sleeping with the soldiers on the warship for the past two days, and he has no airs at all.

With delicious wine and food served every day, everyone unconsciously treated Jia Rong as a real brother.

That’s what he calls knowing everything and saying it all.

“Young Master, I know the Fu ship you are talking about. I used to be on the Lianghuai coastal defense.” A sailor in his forties said with a smile.

“Oh.”

Jia Rong immediately became interested.

“Brother, what’s your last name?”

“No, no, my surname is Li, my given name is Hui, and my courtesy name is Chongshan.”

There are also words!
Jia Rong was somewhat surprised and suspicious.

Nowadays, how can a soldier be worthy of a name?
Some of the names are very rare, most of them are Goudan, Nidan, Dandan and so on.

Li Chongshan revealed his resume and explained it.

It turned out that he used to be a captain of the Yangzhou Coastal Defense Camp. When Japanese pirates attacked a few years ago, he led his men and suffered several defeats in naval battles. He was demoted from a captain to a centurion, and then from a centurion to a captain of ten men. Not only that, he even lost his wife and children, who were abducted by others.

In short, it’s miserable.

Extremely miserable.

If you put yourself in Jia Rong’s shoes, you will find that he cannot survive.

This guy actually pretended to be a grandson and managed to get through it.

And he successfully escaped from the devil’s barrier and came to the Beijing-Tianjin Navy Camp.

That’s amazing.

After revealing his resume, the man talked about naval battles again, explaining: “It’s not that we can’t beat the Japanese pirates, it’s really… Alas!”

“Let’s just talk about the Fuzhou ships. Only the first few are left as examples. The rest have long since had their gun turrets removed and are out at sea to transport goods.”

Jia Rong wondered, “Why did you dismantle the fort? Wouldn’t it be safer to go out to sea with the cannon?”

Li Chongshan explained: “The cannon is too heavy and takes up space. If we dismantle the cannon, we can load twice as much cargo, which means twice as much money for a round trip.”

Jia Rong: “…”

Sure enough, they are all talented.

Business genius!

“Master, tell me, how can we fight this? Even gods can’t defeat us.”

Obviously, this person knew Jia Rong’s identity and was ready to file a complaint.

Jia Rong did not disappoint him.

“Who is the governor of Yangzhou’s coastal defense?”

“Yuan Fuxiu!”

Li Chongshan said with gritted teeth.

For many days and nights, he wanted to report Yuan’s numerous crimes to his superiors, but the officials above him protected each other. As a captain of ten men, he could not even see anyone with whom he could talk.

He thought that this was how his life would be and he could only live in mediocrity.

Unexpectedly, I met the eldest son!

But the eldest son is very approachable and willing to listen to him.

Isn’t this God’s will!

“Let me have someone check him out.”

“If it’s really as you said, I will definitely give you justice!”

Li Chongshan burst into tears and fell to his knees.

“Thank you, eldest son.”

“If I can avenge my great vengeance, my worthless life will belong to you, young master!”

Jia Rong hurriedly gave him a hand.

“Why is this so?”

“We all serve our country.”
