Because Jia Yu got the letter, he ordered someone to ride a fast horse and deliver the letter with Jia Min. Moreover, now that the will has arrived, naturally no one restricts Jia Min and others from entering and leaving the mansion. Hearing that Lin Ruhai was coming back, Jia Min was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered someone to clean up the house, and when Lin Ruhai returned, he ordered someone to go far away to meet the official road, and he took his children to wait for the letter in the house, waiting for Lin Ruhai to return to the house.

Lin Ruhai returned to Yangzhou, thinking that he and his wife and children had been separated for almost a year. I can't help but feel a little sad in my heart. met his old servant on the official road again, and his heart was hot again. even urged the horse to rush to the house. When he entered the hall, he saw Jia Min and his children waiting for him to return.

Everyone has been separated for many days, but when they see it today, there are thousands of words choked in their throats, and they don't know where to start for a while. Jia Min had tears in his eyes, and Nuo Nuo only opened his mouth a few times to call "master", and the tears couldn't help but fall in clusters.

At this time, everyone was infected by this atmosphere, and they were silent for a while. Suddenly, I heard a soft and glutinous child's voice: "Mrs. don't cry! Smile, my father returns, smile." ”

Lin Ruhai looked down and saw a little girl holding Jia Min's hand with one hand, tilting her head to look at herself. His eyes were clear, his eyebrows were thin, and he was looking at himself with a smile on his face. Fang just hid his body behind Jia Min, but Lin Ruhai didn't notice it for a while.

Jia Min hurriedly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, took the little girl's hand and walked forward: "Yu'er used to ask where my father went all day long, but today I saw my father why I was still shy, so why don't I go to salute my father soon." ”

Hearing Jia Min say this, Daiyu smiled and took two steps forward, respectfully bowed to Lin Ruhai and said, "Father." The voice was sweet and crisp and childish, Lin Ruhai stopped it into his arms and said, "In a flash, my jade is so big." Let my father see. You weren't able to climb when I walked. It's so high in the blink of an eye. When they saw this, they all burst out laughing. At this time, the twins also came to visit their father, and the family was reunited, and they were happy.

Jia Min was busy ordering people to wait for Lin Ruhai to wash up and go to the dust and tiredness, and hurriedly ordered someone to hold a banquet. The family sits around and has a reunion dinner. During the banquet, Lin Ruhai asked about the twins' studies, said Jia Min leniently, and took Daiyu into his arms and fed her, and they were harmonious.

After the banquet, the family laughed for a while, Daiyu was young and mentally limited, today because she heard that she could finally see her father, she got up early again, and waited with Jia Min all the time, and refused to lie down even at noon, afraid that her father would return, and she was still sleeping and missed. Now that I saw Lin Ruhai and ate again, I was naturally sleepy, and I fell asleep in Lin Ruhai's arms for a short time. Jia Min hurriedly let the nurse coax her to sleep, and the twins talked with her again, and they also resigned and left together.

Only Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were left in the house, and it was cold for a while. Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Min for a while before he spoke again: "It's been hard work for you for more than half a year." ”

Jia Min blushed slightly and said, "Where is the master?" Although it is only inconvenient for me to enter and exit the house, it is still good. But the old man went to the capital all of a sudden, and it was hard to have no one around to take care of him. ”

Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said: "Okay, this matter is over, and now that I have returned safely, it is okay to end like this." Although there is a case in Beijing, it is also a courtesy to me, and I have not suffered much. ”

Jia Min nodded when he heard this, and seemed to be a little relieved. "I'm here, my brother often sends people to send letters, so I don't worry, but also because I saw the letter left by the master when I helped the master clean up the study, I thought that the master said, it will never be wrong, now it seems that there is really no danger. Even Yu'er has to read this letter every day, and she has learned a few words. With that, Jia Min got up, took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai stretched out his hand to take it, I don't know how many times Jia Min read the letter, and the edges of the envelope were a little fluffy. Pulling out the letter bag and shaking it open, some words in my heart were leaked and dried by the water, and they were a little blurred. Presumably, when Jia Min watched it before, he should have shed tears. Lin Ruhai folded the letter and leaned on the candle, and when the letter saw the fire, it lit and burned at once.

Jia Min couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it, and hurriedly wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Lin Ruhai: "Now that I'm back, I don't have to keep this letter." Most of the letter was burned, Lin Ruhai let go of his hand and let it fall to the ground.

Jia Min looked at the gray letter and sighed: "It's just a pity, in the past year, whenever I am flustered, I can only feel at ease by reading this letter, or not, now that the master is back." ”

While the two were talking, a maid came to report that it was a Master Fang who asked to see him. Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment and said, "Which Lord Fang?" The maid handed over the name card in her hand and said, "It's Lord Fang Zhongzheng." ”

Lin Ruhai heard this name and hurriedly got up and said, "Go and invite Master Fang to sit in the study for a while, I'll say later." Busy asked Jia Min to take his clothes and change them on: "I can return safely this time, thanks to this Lord Fang for giving me Zhaoxue." I was supposed to go to his house to visit him, but why did he let him visit me first? I'll go thank him first, and I'll come back to you later. ”

Jia Min nodded, stretched out his hand to help Lin Ruhai straighten his clothes, and watched him go away. This time, I really should be grateful to that Master Fang. Today is also a full day, I got up early, and I waited anxiously for most of the day, and now I see people returning safely, and a stone in my heart has fallen to the ground.

Jia Min saw that the letter had almost turned into ashes, and he was still a little reluctant in his heart, after all, he had relied on this letter for a year, but now it had become ashes, and he knew that it was better not to take it out. Jia Min squatted down and wanted to collect the ashes, but found that there were a few words on the unburned remaining letterhead, Jia Min couldn't help but feel strange, he had read this letter many times, and he could memorize it, and he was very sure that there were no words in this letter. Jia Min had an epiphany, and hurriedly baked the unburned envelope of the letter close to the candle, and sure enough, a lot of words appeared on the back of the envelope. Jia Min hurriedly approached the candle flame to take a look, and was startled when he saw it. Hurriedly put the broken letter into the envelope and tucked it into his sleeve.

Jia Min waited for Lin Ruhai to return after discussing with Lord Fang. It's just that it's almost the third watch, and it still hasn't returned. Jia Min and Yi fell asleep on the bed. I don't know how long it was, but when I heard a voice, I saw Lin Ruhai come back. With a tired look on his face, Jia Min couldn't bear to ask any more, so he served him to rest.

Therefore, when he went to the capital for a year, there was a backlog of government affairs, and Lin Ruhai went out early and returned late every day to cook, and ten days passed unconsciously. On this day, when he caught up with Xiu Mu's house, Lin Ruhai had nothing to do, so he hugged Daiyu to teach him to read, and took a pen and paper to let him draw and play. Daiyu was young, so she was naturally happy to see the paper, pen and inkstone, and thought it was interesting and fun. opened his heart for a while, and he didn't care whether he grabbed the tip of the pen or the end of the pen, and after a while, there were many ink marks on his hands and face, and even Lin Ruhai's robe was printed with a few small black handprints.

Jia Min sent some snacks to the two, and when she saw the two of them like this, she couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly called Daiyu's nurse to take Daiyu down and freshen up. hurriedly took clean clothes for Lin Ruhai to change into.

"The lord is too anxious. Although Yu'er is smart, she has learned a lot for a while. Jia Min said with a smile.

"I also feel that I have missed a lot this year, and I have regrets in my heart. I wanted to spend more time with her. After all, this is the only girl I am. Lin Ruhai explained that as long as he thought of Daiyu's little face, he felt warm in his heart.

"How did the master know that there would be no more daughters, but now I didn't expect the master to grow up the ability to pinch and calculate. Jia Min quipped, looking at a table of paper written on a table of unknown pieces, Jia Min remembered the letter again, and hesitated to know whether to ask.

Lin Ruhai saw that Jia Min's expression was different, and said: "I see that your face is not good, you don't need to hold back something, and you may be able to relieve your worries by saying it." ”

Jia Min hesitated for a moment, took out the unburned envelope that had been hidden for a long time, and handed it to Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai took it, took a look, and saw Jia Min's worried face, so he pinched the envelope and patted Jia Min's forehead and said, "You don't have to worry about this kind of thing." I don't know what to say about you today. If you say that you are wise, you have been thinking about this for a year but you have not seen any clues. If you say you're stupid, that's the only thing left for you to see the flaw again. ”

Jia Min didn't have the heart to laugh with Lin Ruhai, and sighed: "Master, I was already dull, if I hadn't seen it by accident, how could I have discovered the mystery in it." Thinking that this letter was left by the lord to our mother and son to have a peace of mind, it has always been like this, but now it has become a burden in my heart, if the lord can talk to me, I will naturally be happy. If the master doesn't say it, I won't ask more. It's just that I just continue to worry like this. ”

Lin Ruhai smiled when he heard this: "If you say this, how dare I not say it to you." Let's go, you and I are husband and wife, and we should be of one mind. Don't be distracted by this. Sit down, and I'll speak to you. With that, he pulled Jia Min to sit at the desk. He was holding a pen on the side, and he wrote to Jia Min while talking.

The two whispered for about half an hour before Lin Ruhai stopped writing. Gathered up the written papers, took a brazier, looked at them one by one, and said, "Have you remembered all the things I said to you today?"

Jia Min looked at the ashes in the brazier and nodded, "The master has such things in his heart, and it is really bitter for the master." ”

"What's so painful about this? Fortunately, I woke up early, and thanks to my mother-in-law's talk to me last time, I have this backhand, otherwise it would be difficult to save the day this time. ”

But I didn't get a taste of the old lady's words. Jia Min shook his head and said.

"That's normal, after all, you're not an official, where do you know how powerful it is. My mother-in-law said that I was afraid that it was just unintentional, but I couldn't help but think about it, such a mistake can be regarded as luck. Lin Ruhai paused, "If there are still ups and downs in the future, you will act accordingly." It's not peaceful anymore. I'd better find a way to send you back to the capital, after all, it's too peaceful, and I have relatives to rely on, so I'm at ease. ”
