――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Ever since the news that the Holy One was going to open Enko, the scholars of the whole country became excited. If Jia Lian wanted to take the Enke exam, he would have to return to Jinling this time, so he went to Lin Ruhai's mansion that night.

Looking at the thin Lin Ruhai, Jia Lian felt very uncomfortable, and couldn't help but think: My uncle's body is already like this, if I go south to Jinling to take the exam, what if my uncle has a good one? If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life! It's better to forget it this time, and it's the same if you take the exam again in two years......

After thinking about it a few times, Jia Lian really made up his mind to wait for the next time to take the exam, so he didn't need to ask Lin Ruhai again if he could be admitted.

When Lin Ruhai saw Jia Lian coming, he knew that he was here because of the matter that the Holy Lord wanted to open Enke. But left and right, after eating, taking medicine, seeing that Daiyu was about to soak her feet and sleep, this Jia Lian could still calm down, and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Lian'er came over today, won't she just chat with the old man?" ”

Lin Ruhai naturally didn't expect that Jia Lian heard Lin Ruhai ask like this, and replied confidently: "Lian'er naturally came to see how my uncle is doing, I haven't seen him for a few days, and I have a lot of homework in school, so I didn't have the time to come, and I happened to be early after school today, so I came to visit my uncle." ”

After Jia Lian finished speaking, he smiled and said, "By the way, rub my sister's craftsmanship." Feng'er told me how good her sister's craftsmanship is, isn't Lian'er greedy? Today's time is coming. ”

When Lin Ruhai heard Jia Lian say this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, lowered his voice and asked again: "You don't have anything to say and ask?" As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed uncontrollably. Jia Lian panicked, hurriedly poured a cup of warm water and put it in Lin Ruhai's hand, and patted Lin Ruhai on the back.

What Jia Lian didn't know was that as soon as Lin Ruhai knew about Enke, he had already asked Huang Shufeng about Jia Lian's schoolwork, discussed it with Huang Jiyun, and felt that Jia Lian was still very promising.

When Jia Lian came over in the evening, Lin Ruhai was still very happy, who knew that Jia Lian actually said that he came just to see himself and worry about eating, and he was really angry for a while.

Finally, Lin Ruhai stopped coughing, and asked again: "Lian'er really has nothing to ask the old man?" ”

Jia Lian looked at Lin Ruhai's stern eyes with anticipation, and couldn't help lowering his head and whispering: "Originally, I wanted to ask Enke this time, what my uncle thinks, if I end up, there is hope." Jia Lian's voice became smaller and quieter the more he spoke, Lin Ruhai listened a little abruptly, and said with a smile: "Go ahead, just do your best, don't think so much." ”

Seeing Lin Ruhai calling him to go, Jia Lian looked at Lin Ruhai with some hesitation, and finally lowered his head and didn't say anything more.

How could Lin Ruhai not know Jia Lian's thoughts? sighed deeply, looked into Jia Lian's eyes and whispered, "I know my body, and you don't have to worry about it." ”

Jia Lian was about to explain something, but Lin Ruhai raised his hand to stop him: "Lian'er don't say anything else." My uncle has no children under his knees, and you have been by my side for many years, and my uncle has always treated you as a son. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Ruhai picked up the water and moistened his throat before continuing: "Uncle has seen it for a few years, that Feng girl is also a good one, and the children are very good. Now only Lian'er's studies and Yu'er's future make my uncle very suspenseful. ”

After speaking, Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Lian straight and stopped talking. Jia Lian also looked at Lin Ruhai's eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

It wasn't until there was a sound of beating outside that it was late, that Jia Lian took a step back with red eyes and knelt on the ground. raised his head and looked at Lin Ruhai deeply, as if he wanted to portray the old and thin man in front of him in his heart, and the three rings of "Bang", "Bang" and "Bang" knocked down, which were louder than the beating outside.

Jia Lian said in a hoarse voice: "Uncle must wait for Lian'er to come back!" After speaking, he stopped looking at Lin Ruhai, turned around and walked out.

Outside the door, Jia Lian looked at Daiyu, who was holding the door frame with one hand and caressing her chest with the other, and her tears were rippling, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Just when Jia Lian hesitated whether to leave here, Daiyu said in a trembling voice: "Brother must get good results in the exam!" Father is waiting for it! Don't let him down. After saying that, Daiyu covered her mouth and turned around and ran away.

Jia Lian looked at Daiyu's distant figure, looked up at the sparse starlight in the sky, and secretly clenched his fists. Jia Lian understood that this was his uncle Lin Ruhai's only expectation for him in his last days.

Daiyu ran back to her small courtyard, only to remember that she wanted to remind her father to soak her feet and rest, but at this time she ran back, and her face was not very good, so she asked Aunt Liu to take care of her father.

Lin Ruhai didn't know that when he was talking to Jia Lian, Daiyu was standing outside the door. Their conversation fell into Daiyu's ears word for word. Daiyu's heart was tearing, but she didn't dare to make a sound. I could only bite my arm, still quietly sliding down from my tears.

When Jia Lian returned to the mansion, he locked himself in a small study. He never lit the lamp, sat behind the bookcase with red eyes, recalled the situation when he first went to Gusu from the capital, and recalled the bits and pieces of following Lin Ruhai over the years.

The graceful and elegant man at the beginning is gone, leaving behind the old man who is now in his last years. Although Jia Lian didn't see the contempt in Lin Ruhai's eyes back then, Jia Lian knew Lin Ruhai's dislike very well.

But later, Lin Ruhai's Dundun teachings and careful guidance kept echoing in front of Jia Lian's eyes. Now the expectations in Lin Ruhai's eyes, the concern and affirmation between his words, how can Jia Lian pretend not to know? Jia Lian couldn't say what he felt for a while, he only felt a heart-wrenching pain in his chest, and he didn't even pay attention to Wang Xifeng's knock on the door.

Jia Lian didn't step out of the small study all night, and he didn't light the lamp. Wang Xifeng didn't know what happened to him, and he didn't sleep all night. Before dawn, Jia Lian suddenly opened the door of the small study and walked out.

When Wang Xifeng heard the sound of the door opening, he knew that it was Jia Lian who came out of the small study. I couldn't help but hurriedly put on a piece of clothing and ran out. Wang Xifeng opened his mouth and shouted: "Master! But he didn't know what to say, but looked at Jia Lian with worried eyes.

At this time, it is still early spring, and the weather is still a little cool in the morning and evening, not to mention that this is the time when the dew is at its heaviest. Jia Lian looked back at Wang Xifeng, who came out in a middle coat and a robe, and his eyes softened a little.

Jia Lian turned around and walked back a few steps, stopped in front of Wang Xifeng, stretched out his hand and pulled his robe for her, and said softly: "Come in, you can rest and rest, and you don't have to go to your mother's courtyard to eat." After pausing and seeing that Wang Xifeng was still looking at himself worriedly, Jia Lian smiled and said, "I'm fine, I just remembered those years in Gusu ......"

Jia Lian didn't continue, only sighed, then turned around and left, and said softly to Wang Xifeng before going out: "You know, I have always treated my uncle as a father...... and then the figure disappeared outside the door.

Yun Baozhou has always been a good student, and he always comes to Guozijian very early every day. And Jia Lian came very early because he went out with Jia Yu.

Especially after the beginning of the year, Jia Yu had to go to the court every day to discuss politics, although there was really no opportunity for him to speak. I haven't even spoken once in more than a month, but I'm going out earlier and earlier. Jia Lian couldn't help but follow the time to Guozijian more and more early.

But every day when Jia Lian arrived, Yunbaozhou had already arrived. But when Yun Baozhou arrived at Guozijian today, he found that Jia Lian had already arrived, and Yun Baozhou couldn't help but be very curious. When he got closer, Jia Lian's eyes were full of red bloodshots, and there were thick dark circles under his eyelids, and he suddenly laughed and said, "You are grinding a gun in battle." Is it early? ”

Jia Lian looked up at his prospective sister-in-law, lowered his head and said softly: "It's time to work harder, don't disappoint the elders." Do your best, my sister is still waiting for you to go to high school. ”

At this time, Yun Baozhou noticed Jia Lian's strange appearance, sat down next to him and asked, "But what happened?" We don't talk about two families as a family, so don't hide anything you have. ”

Jia Lian turned his head to him and smiled very hard: "Where are there so many things?" It's just that I'm going to participate in this Enko. After speaking, Jia Lian turned his head and continued to look at the book on the table, only to find that Yun Baozhou was still sitting on the side staring at him. Jia Lian couldn't help but sigh and said, "Can't you also go to study?" How can I read quietly by staring at me like this? ”

Yun Baozhou was very uncertain and asked, "Is it really okay?" Jia Lian nodded lightly and said, "It's okay, go read your book." ”

Since then, Jia Lian has started to read and study every day before dawn, and he has collected the book when he holds the lamp, and he has learned the boxing from Zhao Bing in the yard.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Jia Lian said goodbye to his teacher, his parents, wife and children, and prepared to go south to Jinling to participate in this autumn festival. Before leaving, Jia Lian came to the Lin Mansion and stood in front of the door for a long time, but he didn't go in after all, only knocked his head three times in front of the door, and then left with red eyes.

Jia Lian didn't know that all this was seen by Lin Zhong, and when Lin Zhong told Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai also smiled with red eyes.

Lin Ruhai knows very well that his body has become worse and worse in the past six months, and he doesn't know when he will fall, but he is insisting, at least to see Jia Lian out of office and Daiyu to marry. He knew that he couldn't wait for Daiyu to open the pipe, but at least he had to be married to be at ease, right? I don't know if God will give him this opportunity.

Jia Lian went all the way south, and when he arrived in Jinling, it was only a matter of more than ten days, and he still lived in the inn where he lived last time. This time, he didn't even have any contact with Jinling, he only locked himself in his room to study in peace, and exercised in the backyard of the inn in the morning and evening.

Lin Ruhai's body is indeed getting worse and worse as he guessed, the weather changes before the Mid-Autumn Festival, even if Daiyu and Lin Ruhai themselves are extremely careful, they are still infected with the wind cold, and Lin Ruhai fell ill on the couch within two days.

The emperor even sent a physician to stay in the Lin Mansion to treat Lin Ruhai. Huang Jiyun also **** came over to help the pulse and administer needles. Daiyu was even more undressed in front of the bed, but Lin Ruhai still looked like she was not as good as she was doing. But he still insisted, and how unwilling he was, only he knew.

Until the third day of the ninth month, Lin Ruhai suddenly felt like a divine help, and he was able to sit up on the couch. Daiyu, who had just brought Lin Ruhai a decoction, looked at Lin Ruhai who was sitting up, and was stunned for a moment, and even the medicine bowl fell to the ground.

The sound of the bowl falling on the ground made Daiyu come back to her senses, quickly hide the look on her face, and squatted down to clean up.

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Yu'er" and "don't care" Before Lin Ruhai finished speaking, Daiyu had already lost the porcelain fragment in her hand and ran to Lin Ruhai's bed.

Daiyu looked at Lin Ruhai, and didn't know what to say, these days, in fact, Lin Ruhai also found out, and Daiyu became more and more silent. But what could he say? Twelve years old! His daughter Daiyu is only twelve years old! He wanted to see her grow up, watch her get married and have children. But Lin Ruhai knew very well that even if he insisted, he couldn't see it.

At this time, Lin Ruhai could only pull the corners of his mouth with difficulty, revealing an ugly smile and said: "Look" "Lian'er" Daiyu was puzzled for a while, raised her head and stared at Lin Ruhai with wide eyes, and was about to say something, when she heard a rush of footsteps outside the house, followed by a familiar voice.

"Uncle! Lian'er is hit! With that, the man lifted the curtain and broke in. (To be continued.) )
