CHAPTER XXXIII

Lin Ruhai walked in front of Jia Yu, folded his hands and made a gesture, which was regarded as a salute to his eldest brother, indicating that today is only about the relationship between the family, regardless of the court, Jia Yu waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to serve tea one after another. Jia Zheng, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, put on his uncle's style, Lin Ruhai turned to him but only gave his hand, which made Jia Yu sit down at the bottom, and said continuously: "Are the two uncles in good health?" I haven't seen each other for a few years, but my uncle's children are all older. ”

Although Jia Lian doesn't know how to learn, but last year's letter from Jia Lian in Yangzhou made him wake up to some things, and the relationship between Jia Lian and him has eased a lot. Jia Yu attributed Jia Lian's changes to Lin Ruhai, so he was grateful to Lin Ruhai, although he couldn't talk to Jia Min before, he was still very enthusiastic about Lin Ruhai, and he didn't dare to recall that Jia Min made Lin Ruhai sad, so he told Lin Ruhai about some anecdotes in Beijing in recent years, although he was an old gentleman, but some gossip news in Beijing was still very well-informed, and Lin Ruhai listened to it with relish. On the other hand, because Jia Zheng was holding his uncle's shelf, he didn't interject for a while, so he had to listen to Jia Yu helplessly for a while.

Finally, Jia Yu's mouth was dry, and Jia Zheng immediately picked up the conversation and talked about the children at home. To be honest, he didn't deliberately want to poke Lin Ruhai's lungs, but a few years ago, under the pressure of the old lady, Jia Yu finally spit out and gave Jia Zhu the place of Jia Lianguo's eunuch, Jia Zheng has been happy in his heart, and he has praised Jia Zhu several rounds in front of his own Qingke, and the Qingke have also praised Jia Zhu for having 'the wind of a father', which makes Jia Zheng flutter all the time. Seeing Lin Ruhai, he just wanted to find someone to share his joy, but he didn't expect that Lin Ruhai was too late to have a child, and when Jia Zheng brought up the matter of praising the child, he thought that Jia Min's mother was in charge of the backyard, and his son was just over two years old. But fortunately, Lin Ruhai has a wide heart, if you compare my son with me, I will compare my nephew with you.

"Brother Zheng is overjoyed. Speaking of which, I also have a cousin and nephew, and the emperor also made a decree a few days ago that he would go to study in the country after the year, and then he and Zhu'er became classmates, and I hope that Zhu'er will take care of my nephew. Lin Ruhai said happily.

When Jia Zheng heard this, of course he was full of answers, but he still added a proviso: "My family Zhu'er has an upright temperament, if you occasionally say something heavy, don't take it to heart." ”

Lin Ruhai responded with a mouthful, but he didn't care in his heart, Xia Liansheng's heart was strong, and he had already understood it. Speaking of his nephews, Lin Ruhai asked why he didn't see other nephews? He also ordered someone to go to the backyard and called Daiyu and Huiyu to see their uncle. Jia Zheng also instructed Mrs. Wang to call Jia Zhu and Baoyu to see her uncle.

On the way to Daiyu and Huiyu, Mrs. Wang saw the little maid ordered by Jia Zheng, and while helplessly instructing Jin Chuan to call Jia Zhu, she said to the little maid: "Tell the master, Baoyu went to the Beijing Mansion early in the morning to visit friends, and when he comes back, let him pass, and Zhu'er will go over in a while." The little guy answered, and hurriedly walked back.

When Daiyu and Huiyu entered the study, they saw their father and two uncles sitting and drinking tea, talking about fans, calligraphy and paintings, and antique objects. Seeing the arrival of his nephew and niece, Jia Yu smiled and watched the two kowtow to him, and casually took off the purse jade from his body and gave it to Daiyu Huiyu, and Jia Zheng did the same. After Daiyu saluted, she obediently sat on the side and watched without speaking, while Huiyu looked at the white and chubby uncle on one side and the second uncle who was black and thin and bearded on the other side, turned her head and threw herself into her father's arms to be coquettish, and Jia Zhu, who entered the door later, looked at the interaction between Huiyu and Lin Ruhai, and her eyes were straight with envy.

When Jia Zheng saw Jia Zhu enter the door, he reprimanded directly: "Evil barrier, don't come in and say hello to your uncle!" ”

Jia Zhu was startled, came back to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to kowtow to Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai looked at this young man with a white appearance and a similar figure to Jia Zheng with a smile, and shouted repeatedly, and then asked his own servant to bring a set of four treasures from the study room in Yangzhou, which were very exquisite, as a meeting gift. Jia Zheng resigned again and again, saying that he had given him a good thing, but Lin Ruhai said that this was something he gave to his nephew, and parents couldn't control it, so Jia Zheng accepted it. Jia Zhu happily accepted it. Then the little guy replied to Jia Zheng about Baoyu going out, Jia Zheng reprimanded the evil obstacles, and was about to call someone to call him back, and asked Lin Ruhai to stop him. Huiyu was so frightened by the stern touch of the second uncle that he cried "wow", Lin Ruhai hurriedly picked him up and coaxed him gently, and when he stopped, he asked Daiyu to lead him back to the backyard.

Jia Lian came to the study after a while, and officially kowtowed to Lin Ruhai again, but Lin Ruhai did not give him the four treasures of the study, but gave him a piece of exquisite jade, saying that it was a kind of Yunnan jade popular in Jiangnan, which was not as big as Huiyu's palm, because I heard that the slightly larger ones were all entered. When Jia Lian heard that this was a good thing, he was so happy that he couldn't find the north, so he hurriedly thanked Lin Ruhai sincerely. After the meeting, Lin Ruhai asked about the studies of the two, and Jia Yu said that Jia Lian didn't like to study, so he stayed at home for the time being, and was occasionally sent out by the old lady to run errands. Lin Ruhai did not change his face as Jia Lian thought, but said yes, praised Jia Lian for being able to take charge of himself, and also praised Jia Zhu for studying hard. also encouraged Jia Lian to go out more to make friends, and to inherit the title in the future, so he should see more about what other people's heirs do. Jia Lian's face flushed with excitement, and he responded repeatedly, saying that he must not only know how to play with those gentlemen like before, and also learn to understand economics. Speaking of Jia Zhu, Lin Ruhai took the exam for the book he studied, and asked him to write a word, after reading the words Lin Ruhai sighed a little in his heart, but he still praised Jia Zhu for practicing good calligraphy and fluency on the back of the book. Jia Yu and Jia Zheng were overjoyed.

After talking for a while, the little maid came over and replied, saying that lunch was ready, and asked the eldest and second masters to take their uncle to the flower hall for dinner, and also brought a message from Jia's mother, saying that Baoyu was back, and he would let him see Lin Ruhai after lunch. When Jia Zheng heard this, he was about to habitually scold, but Jia Yu stopped him: "In front of my brother-in-law, can you not open your mouth and shut your mouth?" I don't know, I thought you didn't welcome your brother-in-law! The angry Jia Zheng was panting for breath, but Jia Yu was happy and didn't have anything.

Lin Ruhai pretended not to see the struggle between the two brothers, since he heard Jia Min say that he later sent someone to inquire, the relationship between the two has long been on the same footing, so Lin Ruhai didn't plan to get involved, and when he saw that Jia Zheng couldn't come to the stage, he hurriedly interjected: "What the next person said is the young son born from the jade in Brother Zheng's family?" I heard that he was born smart and smart, how old is he? ”

Jia Zheng and Jia Yu hurriedly stopped talking, and then talked to Lin Ruhai about other things, followed by Jia Zhu and Jia Lian, and the three of them went to the flower hall for dinner.
