For a while, the laughter in the hall died down, and everyone paid attention to Zhang Hui. saw him smile calmly: "Naturally." 'Don't get tired of eating, don't get tired of being fine'. ”

Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Hui bowed back and said: "The body is skinned, and the parents are affected." ”

Lin Ruhai smiled when he heard this: "It also makes sense." But how about a spoonful of food and a scoop of drink?"

Zhang Hui took the wine jug, poured a glass with Lin Ruhai, and filled it with himself, before he smiled: "Like a bad smell, like a good lust." After that, he held the cup in both hands, bowed to Lin Ruhai, and then drank the wine in the cup.

Lin Ruhai nodded and accepted his salute, drank all the wine in his cup with a smile, turned to Huang Su and said, "Good student of Yanxi Sect." ”

Huang Su said with a smile: "That is, these few words of sophistry are the best." He replied to Zhang, "People praised you, why don't you come and thank the division commander?" said and handed him the empty cup. Zhang Hui had to be full with him again. Everyone burst into laughter when they saw this.

Lin Ruhai asked Huang Min, who was standing nearby: "Min Xian's nephew is the head of the court examination last year, what do you think your cousin of the Zhang family said?

Huang Min saluted first, called "Uncle Lin", and then said: "My nephew thinks that it should be Mencius's words 'self-reflexive, although tens of millions of people will go to me'." ”

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "This sentence is the most courageous." However, if the virtuous nephew takes this sentence, can he do it without fear?"

Huang Min said solemnly: "Introspection is not guilty. The name must be spoken, and the word must be feasible. ”

Lin Ruhai nodded, and asked again: "What should you do?"

Huang Min said: "It's just good to be strong." "Let's talk about it, and I will also learn to pour wine and toast. Lin Ruhai and Huang Ping said: "If you have a son like this, you can worry about it." ”

Huang Ping smiled: "Huangkou Ruzi, you also praise him." I'm afraid that I will fly into the sky immediately. "I drank with Lin Ruhai again.

Lin Ruhai took another look at the banquet, and suddenly saw that Huang Xiang and Huang Sheng had no intention of talking, standing at the table, still nostalgic for wine and food. Only Huang Sheng is only seven or eight years old, but Huang Xiang is much older. I was amused, so I asked: "Nephew Xiangxian, listen to your father, you have just taken the child." What do you think of the words of the brothers?"

Saying that, this yellow elephant couldn't see it, and was secretly filling a piece of crab shell yellow into his mouth, and he was unexpectedly named, so he threw down the dim sum in a panic. I didn't know the words for a while, my eyes were flying wildly, and I caught a glimpse of a few words written by the chapter on the table dipped in wine, and suddenly felt at ease, and said: "A word is a lifelong practice, and it will be used for life, but 'do not do to others what you do not want'." ”

Lin Ruhai had already seen their brothers' actions, but he didn't pursue them, and only asked, "How do you say this?"

Huang Xiang lowered his head and wiped his mouth before he said, "What if you laugh at fifty steps and take a hundred steps?"

Lin Ruhai was slightly surprised and asked, "Zifei fish, the joy of knowing fish?"

Huang Xiang smiled: "It's the old saint who often has no heart. He also poured wine and Lin Ruhai, and threw a few glances when he came back with Zhang, and his face was quite complacent. Lin Ruhai drank before sighing to Huang Xing: "These children will definitely not be ordinary people in the future. The young phoenix is clear from the old phoenix, which is a blessing for all brothers. As he spoke, his face showed a bit of depression for a while.

Huang Xing knew his thoughts and said with a smile: "You don't have to praise them too much, and you don't have to worry about yourself." In the final analysis, you are the tanhua of the previous convictions, and if there are people in the family who can catch up with you in the past ten years, it is the great luck of the family, and it can be regarded as relying on your Chrysostom. ”

Lin Ruhai smiled: "What my cousin said is true. Blood relatives, after all, they will be a family. This is already the case in our generation, and it depends on the talents of their younger generation. After a few more jokes, after being toasted by Huang Hao and the brothers, a few people returned to their seats.

After a few more rounds, Mrs. Zhang said that it was not early, and the good banquet was also exhausted, although the family was harmonious, there was no need to get carried away, and it would continue tomorrow. And all the people were busy receiving the order, and they were scattered. Mrs. Zhang repeatedly asked Lin Ruhai where she was resting at night, and told Huang Xing to check it in person, so she was relieved not to mention it.

Here, Huang Nian said goodbye to his mother and brother, and returned to his yard with Chai and Huang Sheng. first instructed Huang Sheng a few words, ordered him to rest, and went to Mrs. Tai early tomorrow morning to serve, and then changed clothes and washed. Chai took the sobering tea from the hand of the waiting grandmother and brought it to him, and said, "Master, take a sip and sober up." ”

Huang Nian took the tea and drank it, looked at Chai again, and said, "You also let you take a cup to drink." There is a fever on the face. ”

As soon as he said that, a maid brought tea smartly. Chai Shi took it, sat down on the chair next to him, took a sip first, and then said with a smile: "I just heard that it was so lively outside." The old man was so happy, he had never heard it so loud, and he had never seen so much wine. My mother was delighted to hear this, so she told the girls to drink and have fun, and even our concubines drank together. Only Brother Hao's daughter-in-law has a body, so she is not allowed to touch the wine. ”

Huang Nian nodded and said, "Hao's daughter-in-law, this is the first one in the family, right? ”

Chai Shi smiled: "Speaking of which, Brother Hao is only twenty-one years old. I just listened to the outside talking, and no matter how I listened to it, I was childish. His cousin of the Zhang family obviously didn't want to say it, but he was shaken clean by his words, which made him laugh inside and out. ”

Huang Nian said: "He was a solid person, and he thought it was interesting, so he said it, and he didn't hide it from his elders." He paused suddenly, thought about the previous scene, and sighed, "It's me who is confused." There is this strange way. The nephew is getting older at a year old, and the second brother is also the time to worry about it—but this is only the time to see Cousin Lin, but there is no time for half a day? ”

Chai was surprised and asked the end. Huang Nian said: "The cousin of the Lin family has no children under his knees, and there is only one girl. This year...... I'm going to be twelve or thirteen years old this year. Thinking about the right plan, you see that he skipped Brother Hao and Brother Sheng, who had married him, tonight, and only asked those three, so he knew the intention of coming and going. ”

Chai said: "We are inside, and we only heard the word from someone. The mother nodded her head, but said much. Now, which of these three children has the best answer?"

Huang Nian said: "There is no good or bad. It's just that Brother Min'er's mind is right, and maybe it is the most right for Cousin Lin's spleen. You see, 'introspection is not guilty', 'although there are tens of millions of people' and 'strong are good', if Uncle Lin could hear it from his father's mouth back then, there should be no regrets. Now that Brother Min is a junior, if he can say these two sentences, his cousin should be very ironing in his heart. ”

Chai Shi smiled: "Listening to what the master said, it really makes sense." Moreover, Ruolin's cousin's niece is twelve or thirteen years old, and Brother Min is sixteen years old this year, but they will be compatible. He was the head of last year's hospital examination, and he will definitely have a future in the future. ”

Huang Nian said: "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't." What about the head of the hospital test, in the end, it is not as good as the boy who is going back. Speaking of which, I like what the elephant boy said to him. A holy and sage, no one in the world is in sight, a joyful and happy, open and unconcealed. Besides, he is thirteen and eighteen, and he is not bad in age. ”

Chai covered his mouth and smiled: "Hearing what the master said, I was confused. But our children are all good. I just want Sheng'er to be like his cousin, not worrying about studying, and being able to talk to his mother and be filial. Speaking of which, although the second sister-in-law has Brother Hao and Brother Min, she has also mentioned to the old lady two or three times that she wants to have another cousin as her biological son. ”

Huang Nian was stunned when he heard this, and asked urgently: "The second brother and sister-in-law actually have this thought? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Seeing that his face changed color, Chai Shi was slightly frightened in his heart, and hurriedly said, "I thought it was just a joke." And the old lady also said that Changzhou's eldest cousin and sister-in-law only have this biological son, and they must be reluctant. ”

Huang Nian nodded and said, "Mother can see it." And when it comes to daily affairs, the eldest brother is the closest to his cousin in Changzhou, and the cousin is better than the eldest sister-in-law. He instructed the Chai family, "In the past few days, you have served with your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, listened carefully to what they said, and came back to me if you had anything." Chai Shi responded, and the two of them freshened up and rested without mentioning it.

said Lin Ruhai's side again. Huang Xing sent him to his residence, which was a small courtyard that Huang Jiao had carved out in the back garden. Seeing the furnishings in the house, Ruhai sighed: "Aunt Kuanren, in the end, you saved my face." ”

Huang Xing persuaded: "It's all about the previous generation. What my uncle did had his own reasoning, and there was nothing right or wrong with my father. Just like Brother Min said in the first seat, 'It's just good to be strong'. Uncle is a good person, and he is worthy of this sentence. ”

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, "In the end, I lost my feelings and hurt the yin owl." Even his father has always regretted it, saying that the Lin family's heirs are not prosperous, or they are here. ”

Huang Xing hurriedly said: "The matter of ghosts and gods, how can you talk nonsense. Besides, you still have a daughter here, and her children and grandchildren in the future will not be the blood and blood of your Lin family?"

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly: "My family knows my own affairs. Since Jia's death, I have felt that my remnants of life are not very interesting, but there are still saints who have not repaid their kindness and relatives' remaining debts, so I have never done that act of self-contempt. This old and decayed body, just want to see my jade out of the pavilion, it is God's grace. Grandson or something, Ruhai didn't dare to think about it too much. ”

Huang Xing said angrily: "It's a shame that you are still a year younger than me, and you are doing such a thought! Even if your uncle and aunt have already passed away, you are not alone." Not to mention your daughter, your grandmother in Changzhou, have you ever fulfilled your filial piety for a day and a half? and your mother, I was shocked to see you describe it today. Fortunately, you still know that there is divine grace and kinship, and you are not confused to the end. Tomorrow I will invite the best doctor in Nanjing to come to you for consultation, and you will also be honest in my house for ten days and half a month. I will arrange someone to deal with the affairs of the yamen, so you don't have to worry. ”

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he had already shed tears and said, "My cousin's teachings are as accurate as the sea." ”

Huang Xing smiled at this time, while ordering someone to fetch water to freshen up with Lin Ruhai, and on the other hand, he pointed to the furnishings in the house and said what was suitable for Lin Ruhai's old illness, and said: "When my father was in Shandong, he was seriously ill, and my grandfather's father drew up a prescription, and a large number of daily essentials were delivered by the old family for two days without sleep. I saw that the pulse of your first letter was vaguely like, so I told them to prepare it in the same way. If you stay for two days, you will see the effect. Lin Ruhai admired it in his heart and thanked him repeatedly. The two brothers said something again, and then they each stopped talking.

In the next few days, Lin Ruhai recuperated in Shangshu Mansion. During the day, there are cousins Huang Ping and Huang Nian to accompany him, and Huang Su always teases to talk and debate, and nephews such as Huang Hao, Huang Min, and Huang Sheng often come to serve, but they are also comfortable. It's just that Huang Xiang and Zhang Hui have seen very little, Lin Ruhai can't help but ask, Huang Xing smiled: "Brother Xiang'er's grandfather hasn't seen his brother for a long time, and he has been urging him to pick up the naughty child several times." It's time to come back in the next day or two. ”

Lin Ruhai then remembered that Huang Xing's wife, Wang, was the youngest daughter of Wang Shaokun, the former governor of Tongzhi, the garrison of Nanjing, and the chief military officer of Caoyun. Although Wang Shaokun is the last descendant of the side branch of the Wang clan of the Jinling family, he traces back to his ancestors and is also a descendant of Wang Dao of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. When he was poor, he couldn't afford to read, so he transferred to the army, from a mere ten masters, resisting the Japanese and killing the Kou, and he was not yet established, and he had accumulated military merits to serve as the commander of the Southeast Naval Army. Now although Zhishi, his eldest son Wang Lei served as the squire of the military department, the second son Wang Fei out of Quanzhou, and the youngest son Wang Yan lectured for the Hanlin Academy, and the family was deeply favored. The marriage of the Huang and Wang families on that day was a lively event in Jinling City. Lin Ruhai turned his mind a few times, and said with a smile: "If you don't want to go back to your cousin, you have to be valued by the old general." ”

Huang Xing said: "This is another incomprehensible matter. Only relatives in the family often say that my kid is like his grandfather, and Xiang'er loves to pester his cousin of the Zhang family, and my father-in-law is also the most willing to talk to him. It's always the fate of his old and young. ”

While he was talking, a report came from outside to say that the young master Xiang and the young master of the Zhang family had returned from the Zhongxian Uncle's Mansion, and the young master asked the eldest master to speak, and he was already serving in the study. Huang Xing hurriedly said goodbye to Lin Ruhai and went to the study.

Predict what Zhang Hui and Huang Xing said, what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition.
