Wang Shenyi was on behalf of Jia Daishan to mention yì marriage. The Lin family is the family of Shilu, but it is also a scholarly family, the ancestral title was passed to Lin Ruhai's father, there is nothing left, thanks to the emperor's grace, only one more generation, to Lin Ruhai, from the imperial examination to the office. Three years ago, when Jia Zheng fell to the first, Lin Ruhai was admitted to the examination and fell into Jia Daishan's eyes.

Her own family knows her own affairs, and Lin's mother knows very well that if Lin's father is still alive, although Jia Daishan is the prince of the country, the next generation will not have a successful instrument, and the two families can be regarded as a good match. But after Lin Ruhai was promoted in the examination, Lin's father left with a smile, leaving the mother and son to rely on each other......

Lin Ruhai looked at his mother and couldn't help but call out in person. Since Doctor Wang and Mother Lin had spoken a word, Mother Lin's whole person seemed to have a new opportunity. Looking at his mother, who was almost half of her illness, Lin Ruhai was full of gratitude to Jia Daishan in his heart.

Mother Lin came back to her senses, thinking of the words brought by Jia Daishan to the king's divine doctor, and couldn't help but take a closer look at Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai was sixteen years old, kept his father's filial piety for three years, and is now nineteen years old. The young man's face is handsome and beautiful, not as graceful as his youth, but with calmness and perseverance. Lin Ruhai's posture is as tall as a pine pavilion, and the scholarly atmosphere on his body adds a sense of elegance to him, coupled with the innate gentleness and humility of the Lin family, he can be called a "humble gentleman, gentle as jade".

Now that he is tall and jade, Zhilan Yushu, so that Mother Lin can't help but praise him.

Feeling his mother's attention, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but straighten his body, and when he heard his mother's reputation, his pale face couldn't help but blush.

Mother Lin looked at her son, and she couldn't stop being proud in her heart. Although she thinks that her son is more than enough to match the concubine of the Guogong Mansion, she can't ignore her son's wishes.

"My son, do you remember what your father told you before he went?"

Lin Ruhai said solemnly: "Before my father died, he took the word 'Ruhai' for me, hoping that I would be able to be admitted to the Jinshi examination, be able to become an official, and revitalize my Lin family." ”

Mother Lin said with relief: "My son's knowledge has been praised by the great Confucian Sun Siyuan, I am not worried." It's just that my son's marriage has always been a piece of my heart. "Mother Lin sometimes thinks during her illness that she might as well die, so that there may be people who can't bear their daughter's mother-in-law to marry their daughter to the Lin family, so that she can follow Father Lin. It's just that Ruhai's marriage, in the end, she still wants to come to Zhang Luo, and this year is the year of Dabi, if Ruhai misses it, but it will have to wait for another three years.

It was about the imperial examination, Lin Ruhai pursed his lips and didn't speak, he had confidence in himself, but he couldn't talk too much.

Mother Lin looked at Lin Ruhai lovingly and asked, "What does my son think of Jia Guogong's daughter?" ”

Don't? Lin Ruhai looked at Mother Lin in disbelief.

Lin Mu nodded slightly.

Lin Ruhai was ecstatic at first, thinking of the illustrious family of the Jia family and the two dukes, and calmed down again.

"Mother, this, how can I be virtuous, I am fortunate to have Jia Guogong's blue eyes."

"My son can't be presumptuous, it's rare for a young man to lift people, and how many people can be in the same family of Shilu? As the saying goes, a high family marries a daughter, and a low family marries a daughter, and I think the two families are the right match. ”

Lin Ruhai was a little shy, but he also knew that although he was married at a low level, with his knowledge and the merits of the Lin family's ancestors, it was not a humiliation.

"My son, you will be filial in a few days, my mother is seriously ill, and you will personally visit Rongguo Mansion at that time."

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "Rong Guogong found a good doctor for my Lin family, I should have gone to his house to thank him." ”

After Lin Ruhai saw his mother, he went to the study and read quietly for a while. Holding the scroll in his hand, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but think of this marriage in his mind.

Both parents have wishes, and whether the marriage can be completed or not will be discussed again.

Lin Ruhai gently tapped the bookcase with his other hand.

Getting married to Rongguofu is undoubtedly the Lin family's biggest benefit. Rong Guogong is now in an idle position, and he can still enter the palace to face the saint, there is such a Yue family, Lin Ruhai is talented and outstanding, and he can attract the attention of the emperor in the early stage. Although Lin Ruhai can also rise to prominence by himself, but it is also the Year of the Monkey, the Lin family has never lived long, if Lin Ruhai wants to enter the cabinet, I am afraid he can't afford to wait.

The fact that he had to rely on the support of the Yue family made Lin Ruhai a little frustrated, but he quickly cheered up. In-laws are meant to support each other, and Rong Guogong chose to marry a scholarly family close to Xungui, why not ask the Lin family to bring the next generation of Rong Guofu? I heard that Rong Guogong's two grandsons are studying.

After the Lin Mansion was removed, Lin Ruhai really handed over a letter of worship to the Rongguo Mansion.

On this day, the wind was beautiful and the autumn was crisp, and Jia Daishan saw Lin Ruhai in the study.

"Yes, yes, yes." Jia Daishan touched his beard and said, "However, it is ...... to be a person."

"Why don't you wait for your nephew to be admitted to the Jinshi, and then come and propose to the daughter of the uncle?"

Jia Daishan Dayue, "Can the virtuous nephew be sure?" ”

"The teacher said that if I try my best, I may be able to win."

The literati are very modest in their speech, or they can get it, but if nothing happens, they will definitely be able to win.

"Good! If the virtuous nephew has this confidence, then I will wait for the good news. ”

The two agreed to wait for Lin Ruhai to be a high school jinshi, and then come to Rongguo Mansion to propose marriage. Jia Daishan mentioned his second son again: "My second son is in charge of politics, and he also participated in the last autumn festival, but unfortunately his name fell to Sun Mountain. The virtuous nephew is already a man, can you give me some pointers? ”

"Don't dare to be. Brother Cun Zhou is a square person, widely famous, such as the sea does not dare to point out Brother Cun's knowledge, but is willing to discuss with him. ”

Today, when Lin Ruhai came to Jiafu, Jia Hu didn't have to go to study, but stayed in the small study and hung his arms to write big characters. As he wrote, he heard the people outside in an uproar. Jia Hu frowned, but continued to write, stroke by stroke extremely seriously, his arm was sore, and he didn't stop. A quarter of an hour later, until Jia Hu had written the last word, and was satisfied that every one of them was well written, he stopped, called the little guy outside, and asked what was the matter.

A seven or eight-year-old boy came in. His eyes were rolling, and he looked like a clever one. He was the playmate chosen by his grandfather for Jia Hu, the same age as Jia Hu, and Jia Hu gave him the name Hegui.

Hegui said that a guest came to see the lord and was drinking tea in the study, and the old man also came.

Guest? Jia Hu raised his eyebrows, I don't know who can make Jia Yu and Jia Zheng live in the same room. Jia Zheng has always looked down on Jia Yu, and he also looks down on Jia Yu's friends, and he has never entered Jia Yu's study.

A smile tugged at the corner of Jia Hu's mouth, he wanted to know what kind of guest it was.

The opportunity soon came, and Jia Yu ordered Jia Hu to be invited to his study to meet the guests.

"Brother Ruhaixian, come and see, how about this ancient fan?"

"The jade bamboo fan bone is reddish-brown and has pulp, I am afraid that it is old; Fan ......"

It seems that this is Lin Ruhai. Jia Hu looked at this picture interestingly, Jia Yu pulled Lin Ruhai's appreciation fan, and didn't say a word to Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng occasionally interjected a sentence or two that he didn't like, only Lin Ruhai interfaced.

Lin Ruhai really felt a headache, everyone followed the principle of "family ugliness should not be publicized", if there is any contradiction, when outsiders are there, they will not express themselves. I don't know what these two are all about, really...... As soon as Lin Ruhai turned around, he found a seven or eight-year-old little adult-like child, looking up at him with his head up, and couldn't help but smile.

"Brother Enhou, what is this?"

"This is my eldest son, Jahu!" Jia Yu smiled proudly, "Hu'er, come and meet your Uncle Lin Shi." ”

After saying hello, Jia Yu proudly showed off Jia Hu to Lin Ruhai. The Lin family has always had a thin heir, and Jia Hu is a clever and intelligent person, Lin Ruhai has been admitted to Jia Hu, Jia Hu is articulate and fluent, and sometimes there are opinions that adults may not come up with, Lin Ruhai can't help but treat him as his own heir.

He asked, "Where does Hu'er study?" ”

"Taught by my grandfather for the time being."

It turned out to be raised by Grandpa Guo, Lin Ruhai praised, "It is worthy of being raised by Duke Rongguo." - Brother Enhou, it is not known that the young phoenix will be clear from the old phoenix in the future. ”

Jia Zheng stood on one side again, looked at Jia Yu's smiling face, and looked at the two young people who asked and answered, and couldn't help regretting that he didn't bring Jia Zhu over. I don't want to think about it, Jia Zhu is only three or four years old, what did he bring here? I didn't finish the "Three Character Classic".

Time passed in a friendly and harmonious conversation. Waiting for Lin Ruhai to leave, Jia Hu went to Jia Daishan's study. There is one thing that Jia Hu only made up his mind yesterday.

"What? You want to go back to Jinling? "I had just finished writing an eight-strand essay on the Analects and Constitutional Questions, which I had learned a few days ago, and when Jia Hu had checked for the fallacies and was about to hand it over to his grandfather, he heard Jia Zhen say that he wanted to go back to Jinling.

Jia Zhen touched her face embarrassedly, nodded and said, "Well, I want to go back to Jinling to take the entrance examination." ”

Jia Hu knew that after the Chinese New Year last year, Jia Zhen returned to Jinling to participate in the county exam in February.

"You know, the last time I went back, I passed the county test and the government test, but I didn't pass the hospital test."

Jia Hu nodded and asked, "This is your own idea?" Did the grandfather agree? ”

Jia Zhen said with some embarrassment: "It was my father who said it, and he said that my heat is enough." ――When I pass the exam, I won't be studying here. ”

"Why?" Jia Hu was anxious. When I was studying, I was so lonely without my friends. No one spoke after the break.

Jia Zhen looked at Jia Hu apologetically: "Father said that my uncle is not in good health, and it is not appropriate to bother his old man anymore." My father asked me to go home and study. ”

Thinking of Jia Daishan's cough from time to time since the beginning of autumn, Jia Hu was silent. There are more things to learn in the examiner, and the Four Books and Five Classics are just a foundation, and my grandfather's body can't bear so much.

Jahu was frustrated for a moment. Jia Zhen looked at this cousin, at first he had the idea of taking care of him, and after getting along gradually, Jia Zhen really regarded this precocious cousin as his friend.

"It's a pity that I can't go with you," said Jia Hu in frustration, "and grandfather won't agree." ”

Jia Zhen immediately blackened. Saying it really hit Jia Zhen's self-confidence, don't look at Jia Hu has only been studying for more than three years, and his progress is about to catch up with him. Of course, Jia Daishan was not in such a hurry, and the progress was very slow, and he was only about to finish teaching the Analects now, but ...... A year ago, Jia Hu was auditing Jia Zhen's class, and he really understood it, and Jia Daishan did not hesitate to answer the questions raised. In the end, if there is anything I don't understand, Jia Zhen asked Jia Hu directly/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

"If you want to take the exam, you have to start with the county exam, and the county exam will be in February next year at the earliest. At that time, I had finished all the exams. Jia Zhen slandered, he didn't want to take Jia Hu back to Jinling together. Fortunately, he refused at the beginning, otherwise his cousin and cousin would take the Xiucai exam together, and his cousin, who is so many years younger than himself, would be ranked higher than his cousin's, so he would have no face.

Hearing this, Jia Hu was even more lost. In despair, he handed the eight-strand essay he had just made to Jia Daishan and asked, "Grandfather, how about I take the Tongsheng exam next year?" ”
