Lin Ruhai returned to the court to report on his work, talked with the saint for an afternoon, and gave him a wine banquet and singing and dancing, and allowed him to return home. Hearing this, the saint was extremely happy, and the laughter of the saint could often be heard in the hall. Sure enough, he is the confidant of the saint, and this value and trust cannot be compared to anyone.

The Jia family naturally knew about it, and Lai Dafei usually went to deliver a letter to Jia's mother. In the Rongqing Hall, Mother Jia was waiting anxiously, Lai Da knelt down outside, and said happily: "Old lady, my aunt was given a banquet by the saint, and I am afraid that I will not be able to leave the palace for a while." ”

Mother Jia smiled when she heard this, and ordered with a smile: "Let the boys wait, and as soon as the aunt comes out, I immediately invite the family to rest." ”

Lai Da replied respectfully: "Yes, the little one will go and wait in person." After saying that, he shook his head, turned around and went out.

Jia Yu and Jia Zheng were both present, listening to Lai Da's words, they all had a sense of honor, Jia Yu smiled: "The old lady just feels sorry for her uncle, and she thinks of everything in front." ”

Mother Jia glanced at him with a smile, "How many years have your sister and brother-in-law been outside, where can they still live in their old mansion?" The subordinates in the family have all been taken away, and there is no one to serve them, and it is not easy to eat hot tea when they go back, so it is better to live in the house. ”

Jia Zheng said with a smile: "It's still the old lady who thinks about it." ”

Mother Jia changed her expression, "Alas, do the math, I haven't seen your sister for more than ten years, and I don't know if she is comfortable now, how Brother Rui and Daiyu are born." Speaking of which, Brother Rui is also eighteen this year, and it is time to get married, and I don't know what they think. ”

Jia Yu said: "The prince is getting married, and he wants to come to his nephew soon." The crown princess is an older sister, and she has to get married before it is her sister's turn. ”

Jia's mother said worriedly: "Both of them are in Yangzhou, what should they do when they get married?" ”

Jia Zhengdao: "The left and right brother-in-law will be back soon, you can ask him personally." ”

Everyone in Rongguo Mansion waited until it was dark before they got a message from their subordinates. said that Lin Ruhai had arrived outside the house. Jia Yu and Jia Zheng stood up at the same time and said to Jia's mother: "Old lady, let's go and greet my brother-in-law." ”

Jia Mu smiled: "Go quickly, go quickly." ”

After more than ten years, Lin Ruhai went to Jiafu again, up to Jia Yu and Jia Zheng, and down to a group of housekeepers and servants, and his attitude towards him was different from that year. On that day, he accompanied Jia Min over, although he was also warm, but there was always a little unspeakable awkwardness. It was Jia Min who laughed at himself: "The people in Nafu." From top to bottom, they are two power eyes and a rich heart. You are only a few officials now, and you have no lords and no lords, so it's good to be able to give a smile. ”

Compared with the past, and then looking at the present, Lin Ruhai is quite emotional.

The brothers Jia Yu and Jia Zheng came out with their sons and nephews, and when they saw Lin Ruhai, they smiled: "Sister-in-law, I have been separated for many years." Tanhualang's demeanor has not diminished back then. ”

Lin Ruhai bowed his hand, "The two uncles have praised it." ”

Jia Yu moved quickly, came over a few steps and shook Lin Ruhai's arm, and pulled it away. "Hurry up, hurry up, the old lady is in a hurry."

Jia Zheng also smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you for a day." ”

Lin Ruhai hurriedly surrendered his hand and pleaded guilty: "It's all my fault, I should have sent someone to talk to the old lady earlier." ”

"My sister-in-law is in public office, what's wrong."

The three of them were talking. While walking inside, I soon passed through the inner instrument gate, and then passed through a hanging flower gate. It is the Rongqing Hall where Jia's mother lives. The girls in green vests stood guard in front of the door, and when they saw the three of them coming, they all saluted and fought to open the curtain.

Jia Mu's place, someone had already gone to reply first. As soon as Lin Ruhai came in, he saw an old lady with silver hair, sitting on the Luohan couch in the middle, smiling very kindly.

A girl had already brought a mat over and put it on the ground, Lin Ruhai knelt down with her clothes and saluted: "Old lady." ”

"Hurry up, hurry up." Mother Jia smiled and stretched out her hand to caress her, and called her son, "Second child, quickly help my aunt up." ”

After seeing the ceremony, the two sides sat down one after another, and Jia Mu asked with a smile: "This way, are you tired?" How is Min'er? And Brother Rui, who has grown into an adult......"

Lin Ruhai replied respectfully, focusing on the situation at home, and said hello to Jia Min.

You asked me and answered for a while before Mother Jia turned the topic to Lin Rui, "Brother Rui is eighteen years old this year, when will you marry him?" ”

Lin Ruhai said: "I discussed it with my wife, and I plan to wait for the prince's wedding before coming to Ti Rui's brother." Moreover, the son-in-law plans to let him try his skills in the field this year, if he can win, it is good, but if he can't, it can be regarded as accumulating experience. ”

"I'm thinking that I should be able to return to the court in another year, and it's better to talk about his marriage then."

Several members of the Jia family were stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed, especially Jia's mother, who couldn't hide the smile on her face, "Really, that's great." ”

"The son-in-law estimates that eight or nine is not far from ten." Lin Ruhai said with a smile.

After gossiping for a while, Jia Mu remembered and asked Jia Zhu and a few people to come over and see Lin Ruhai.

In this room of Rongguo Mansion, there are many children and nephews. First, there are Jia Zhu and Jia Lian, who have grown up, as well as Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Cong, who are still young, and the younger generation is Jia Zhu's son Jia Lan, who is only two or three years old this year, and is still being held in his arms.

Except for Jia Zhu and Jia Lian, the rest of the people, Lin Ruhai are all meeting for the first time. His attention was first on Jia Baoyu, and when he looked closely, he saw that he was really as described in the book, and he was born very well. Seeing him salute himself with his brother, he is also very disciplined at a glance, and he can't see that he has any crazy temperament.

"Get up, get up, I've come in a hurry, and I haven't prepared any gifts, some things, all clumsy, you can play." Lin Ruhai smiled and stretched out his hand to help, and gave another gift. These gifts were all prepared by Jia Min, as early as Lin Ruhai entered the palace, and the subordinates who entered the capital with him had already sent things back to the mansion. When Lin Ruhai was finished and was invited back to Rongguo Mansion by Lai Da, the housekeeper of the Jia family, the Lin family, also sent the things that Lin Ruhai brought. Not only the Jia Zhu brothers, but everyone in the Rongguo Mansion has a share. It's just some Jiangnan tuyi, and it's not very precious.

Jia Zhu and the others hurriedly thanked each other and slowly retreated to the side to stand.

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Zhu carefully, and saw that he was pale, thin, and looking like he had just recovered from a serious illness, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Brother Zhu, what's wrong, it looks like he's just getting better." ”

Jia Zheng sighed, "Some time ago. I got better after a serious illness. ”

"Have you ever asked a doctor to take a look? If you are young, if you fall into the root of the disease, it will not be good. ”

"I invited the imperial doctor back, saying that it was already well, and the rest should be raised."

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he nodded and said, "That's it, let's give birth." You know, no matter what you do, you have to have a good body. ”

Jia Zhu listened to it and hurriedly made a move. "Brother-in-law Xie is missing."

"Zhu'er, it's not my brother-in-law who said you, you are not a few years older than my family Rui'er, but he is much stronger than you." Lin Ruhai said with a smile, "Boys, it's better to raise some roughly, don't be too pampered." ”

Jia Zheng has always admired Lin Ruhai very much, and when he heard him say this, he nodded again and again. "Isn't it, I often say, his mother is so used to him that he should have been beaten. to be strong. ”

After saying Jia Zhu, Lin Ruhai's eyes fell on Jia Lian, when they were released that day, Jia Lian was still a handsome child. Now he has grown into a handsome young man. Compared with Jia Zhu's pale and thin, Jia Lian looked very healthy, but his complexion was a little pale. It's dark now, and it looks like I've been up all night for a long time. Lin Ruhai frowned slightly: "Brother Lian, I heard your aunt say that now you have donated a fellow acquaintance, right?" ”

Jia Lian smiled: "Yes." ”

"At such a young age, why is it not good to study? After reading the book, what kind of official can't do it, so he has to donate one. Lin Ruhai's words were a little serious, and in front of Jia Lian's serious Lao Tzu, he was a little more careful.

It's not that Lin Ruhai deliberately wanted to do this, but Jia Min specially instructed him before he left, asking him to take care of Jia Lian when he arrived at Jia's house, and he could live up to the Song family's entrustment back then.

Jia Yu smiled: "This kid is the same as me, he has a headache when he reads a book." Fortunately, thanks to the blessing of the ancestors, there is still a title in the family, and there is no need to work as hard as the eldest nephew. ”

Jia Zheng frowned slightly, but Jia Zhu was ashamed, Lin Ruhai smiled unceremoniously: "Reading is for reason, even if you attack the title, it is different whether you have a messenger or not." ”

Jia Yu was so embarrassed by Lin Ruhai's words that his face was a little nowhere to put it, and the room suddenly became quiet, but Jia's mother opened her mouth with a smile, "Or is my uncle knowledgeable, have you all heard it?" In the future, you will have to study well, and the one who dares to be naughty again, see if I don't ask you Lao Tzu to beat you. ”

Jia Zhu and Jia Lian stood solemnly at the same time, and responded: "The grandchildren have written it down." ”

Jia Yu was stabbed in front of Lin Ruhai, feeling uncomfortable and a little annoyed. But he didn't dare to turn his face with Lin Ruhai, he was a saint's henchman, and he was not in a hurry to make friends, how could he fall out.

Lin Ruhai didn't care much about Jia Yu's expression, and his eyes fell on Jia Baoyu, "This is the brother who was born from jade?" Sure enough, it is like a treasure, and I can't complain that the old lady likes it. ”

Jia's mother likes Baoyu the most among these grandchildren, hearing Lin Ruhai say this, she likes the color, and hurriedly asked Jia Baoyu to go over to Lin Ruhai to give a salute, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of my uncle's jokes, among these grandchildren, he is the only one who is born like the old lady, and he is smart." I don't like him because of that piece of jade. Jia's mother still has a vague expectation in her heart, Jia Min also has a young daughter, who is one year younger than Jia Baoyu, if Baoyu is liked by Lin Ruhai, it is not impossible to kiss each other.

Lin Ruhai had long been curious about the piece of jade that Jia Baoyu brought from the womb, he stretched out his hand to beckon Jia Baoyu, and said with a smile: "Where is the piece of jade brought in the womb, show me." ”

Although Jia Baoyu saw Lin Ruhai for the first time, she was no stranger to this brother-in-law, and the old lady would often talk to them about her aunt and brother-in-law. From the mouths of the old lady and some housekeepers, I knew that this brother-in-law was not only knowledgeable, but also born with a jade tree and full of elegance. He has long been yearning, he can't see him soon, and he doesn't want to follow his wish today.

Moreover, although Lin Ruhai is over forty years old, he is still as black as ink, and his face is like a crown of jade, coupled with the calmness and elegance that time has paid for him, it has formed a unique charm. Jia Baoyu thought of her aunt's cousin and cousin from her brother-in-law, with a father like this, what kind of fairy characters should her cousin and cousin be. I only hate, the two families are too far apart to see each other.

He heard that Lin Ruhai wanted to see the jade, so he hurriedly reached out and picked it up, holding it with both hands.

Lin Ruhai stretched out his hand to take it, holding it in the palm of his hand to take a closer look, but it was a piece of jade the size of a bird's egg, colorful and crystalline, with two lines of words on the front, as if it was naturally generated. He was amazed and returned to Baoyu. smiled at Jia Mu and said, "If Brother Yu is a good student, he will have general achievements in the future." ”

Jia Baoyu listened to Lin Ruhai's words, and was very unhappy, how could a handsome character like his uncle be so vulgar, and his speech was inseparable from economics, which was really unlucky. But Lin Ruhai is an elder, and in front of Jia's mother and Jia Zheng, where did he dare to say anything, but he slowly retreated and stood. It's just a pity in my heart.

Where did Lin Ruhai know the activities in his heart, and asked Jia Huan, Jia Cong and Jia Lan one by one, and after a moment of gossiping, Jia's mother said: "My aunt is tired for a day, so I should rest early." ”

Lin Ruhai wanted to go back to his home, how could Jia's mother agree, "Your husband and wife have been gone for more than ten years, how can you live in that house?" There is no intimate person to serve, and I am afraid that I will not even be comfortable drinking hot tea. It's better to stay at home. We should have all of them here, and there are a lot of people, even if we are stupid, it is still okay to run an errand and pass a word. ”

"Again. These boys in the family, if they have any problems in books, they can also ask nearby, and they are more elusive than themselves. It's much stronger. ”

Jia Mu's words have all said that this step of the field, Lin Ruhai can only obey his fate.

Jia Zheng said with a smile: "Cuizhuxuan is closer to me, I'll send my sister-in-law over." ”

Cuizhuxuan is a courtyard for entertaining guests in Rongguo's mansion. It is not far from Jia Zhengwai's study. Lin Ruhai thanked him, said good night to Jia's mother, and left with Jia Zheng.

Jia Yu was very unhappy, and when he saw Jia Lian again, he was a little impatient, and scolded: "What are you still doing here, get out of here." ”

Jia Lian couldn't wait to leave him, listened to this, saluted, and went back to his small courtyard.

It was getting late, Sister Feng had just finished her work, and when Jia Lian came in, she had just changed her clothes and was leaning on the couch, talking to Ping'er. Seeing Jia Lian coming in, he quickly got up and said with a smile: "Why did you come back at this point?" Can you see my aunt? ”

Jia Lian stretched out her hand, and was served by Jiao's wife, Mei, and maid to change her clothes, and said lazily: "I saw it, but I was told by my brother-in-law, and even my lord also told me." ”

Sister Feng was stunned, "What did my aunt say about you?" ”

"It's just for me to read more." Jia Lian lay down on the bed, his hands pillowed behind him, and his expression was a little melancholy, "The old lady never cared about my studies, and the old lady used to ask, and with Baoyu, she didn't pay attention to me anymore." Now, only my brother-in-law is willing to ask. ”

Seeing this, Sister Feng waved her hand, and Ping'er retreated quietly, she leaned on Jia Lian's side in the past, and said with a smile: "I heard that my brother-in-law and the saint were in the same division, and they had a very good relationship in their early years. Therefore, after the saint ascended the throne, he relied heavily on his brother-in-law. The two Huai salt politics, others did it for a year, it is already a great grace, to the brother-in-law, one term is eight years, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military calculations, this holy favor and trust, who can compare with the brother-in-law. Now my brother-in-law is willing to teach you two sentences, which is also our creation. ”

Jia Lian chuckled lightly and didn't make a sound. He hadn't touched a book for several years, and if he really wanted to read again, he was afraid that it would kill him.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Sister Feng's mind turned around, and she said tentatively: "My brother-in-law doesn't know how people are?" If I can mention you, we won't be able to use it. ”

Jia Lian frowned, "My aunt's cousin is going to end this year, my brother-in-law is not in a hurry to worry about him, how can he have time to take care of me." ”

Sister Feng pursed her lips, "Cut, my brother-in-law's current status is just a matter of one sentence, how many people are waiting to convince him, and they can't find a way." ”

Jia Lian understood what Sister Feng meant, and wanted Lin Ruhai to give her an activity to see if she could give her a real job, and then go to a good place. Whoever doesn't want to be an official is his father, don't you also want to have an errand envoy? "Hmm, let me think about it." He is more afraid of Lin Ruhai's arguments, and when the time comes, let him study and take the exam, or go further, and only then can he be allowed to be invited, then he will be depressed.

Sister Feng was secretly depressed in her heart, if her aunt was there, she didn't have to let Jia Lian please her brother-in-law, she went directly to her aunt to show her filial piety.

Besides, Jia Baoyu, after sending Lin Ruhai away, he returned to the room and lay down sullenly, muttering to himself: "...... My brother-in-law is also vulgar, and he often recites economics questions in his mouth......"

The attacker had just packed up Jia Baoyu's changed clothes, and he didn't listen too carefully to what he said, so he couldn't help but come over and ask, "What are you talking about?" What happened to my aunt? ”

Jia Baoyu sat up, grabbed her hand, pulled her to the edge of the bed and sat down, and said in a muffled voice: "You say that your brother-in-law is good here and where is it good all day long, in my opinion, he is just a big layman." ”

The attacker hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, and whispered urgently: "My little ancestor, be quiet, and let the old lady hear carefully." ”

"Hmph." Baoyu rolled over and lay down. No more voices.

The attacker sighed, leaned over, and deliberately said some flowers, powder, girls, etc., to make him happy. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Baoyu to ease her expression and have something to say to her, so she was relieved. Just like that, he didn't dare to coax him to sleep, for fear that the anger would exist in his heart. Sick again.

Lin Ruhai didn't stay long in Shendu, Xiao Jin would recruit him into the palace every morning after the court, and the two talked all day, and every time they ate lunch and dinner, they would leave the palace.

Even one day, Xiao Jin even grabbed Lin Ruhai to cook on a whim, and also arrested the prince and several grown princes. The second prince, Xiao Wei, entered the kitchen for the first time in his life. Seeing that everything was fresh, he was also interested in the fire, and pushed away the little eunuch with great interest, and squatted over by himself. And then. Got a lot of black smoke out of the house and smoked his father and brothers out of the kitchen. Even himself, Lin Ruhai caught it.

Xiao Jin was so angry that he chased after his son and beat him, and Xiao Wei's face turned black. Seeing his father coming, he turned his head and ran towards the queen's palace, Xiao Jin was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded. Where is there still a little bit of the image of the emperor.

Lin Ruhai touched his chin and said with envy: "Sage, your life is really lively. ”

Xiao Jin squinted at him, "Envy? ”

Lin Ruhai nodded honestly, "I'm very envious." ”

"Who made your son less." Although Xiao Jin sometimes thinks that his sons are too individual, they may be envied by Lin Ruhai, and they are also very satisfied.

Lin Ruhai snorted, "A good son, several others." ”

"Humph!" Xiao Jin also snorted, "My son is also good." ”

Lin Ruhai said "hehe, hehe......" several times, so that Xiao Jin wanted to beat him.

Come on, the imperial dining room was broken by them, and Xiao Jin could only drag Lin Ruhai away.

Xiao Chen followed behind the two, and it was easy to wait until the two of them were arguing before asking, "Uncle Lin, can Ah Rui come when I get married?" ”

The prince's wedding has a lot of troubles, and no matter how streamlined it is, it will take a year to prepare. Lin Ruhai took the time to meet with Yang Ze before, and the two discussed it for a while, and they both felt that it would be better to put the marriage between Lin Rui and Yang Fei at the end of next year, and at that time, he would almost be able to return to Beijing.

"I guess so." Lin Ruhai looked at Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin also glared back at him, "What are you watching me do?" ”

"Of course it's up to you, if you don't transfer me back, how can my son attend the prince's wedding." Lin Ruhai said it very reasonably.

Xiao Jin said angrily: "The fattest messenger in the world, what else do you have to dislike!" ”

Lin Ruhai was also anxious, "You didn't settle the account for a month." ”

Xiao Jin: "......" After a long time, he snorted again, "Bear with me, next year will be fine." ”

Lin Ruhai said happily: "What about the Hanlin Academy? ”

Xiao Jin: "Don't get into the rain!" Be careful I let you go home and eat yourself. ”

Lin Ruhai raised his head: "I can't ask for it." ”

Xiao Chen watched for a long time and came to a conclusion: These two people are so naïve!

Lin Ruhai basically lived a very nourishing life in the Shendu, the only thing that was a little upset was that his two eldest brothers and mother-in-law, for fear that he would not be used to living in Rongguo Mansion, specially sent two pretty girls to serve him, not only holding tea and making beds, but even wanting to help change clothes, which made Lin Ruhai extremely annoyed.

On this day, Xiao Jin had something to do in the afternoon, and Lin Ruhai came back after having lunch with him. Because he drank wine at noon, and the weather was hot, he was sweating all over, and he was very uncomfortable, so he asked people to carry water in and wanted to wash up.

He took off his clothes here, and when he stepped into the barrel, the two girls took off their big clothes outside, and came in only their underwear. Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, then became angry, pointed outside, and said in a deep voice: "Go out, who allowed you to come in!" ”

These two girls were stunned, when they were selected to serve Lin Ruhai, they already had their own self-realization, and from then on they were afraid that they would be my aunt's people. However, compared with the old and young masters who followed the Rongguo Mansion, the old man was handsome, the ability was great, and the saints were long, and they were picked up, and I don't know how many people envied them.

But in the past few days, my aunt has been going out early and returning late every day, and she usually doesn't always call them, let alone use them to serve the pillow, and she is too lazy to even take a look. Seeing that there was no progress for many days, both of them were a little discouraged. Today, the aunt came back early, and asked someone to fetch water and take a bath, and both of them thought that the opportunity had come and gritted their teeth. Cheeky followed in.

Unexpectedly, my aunt had a black face, and he didn't tolerate any affection, so he wanted to drive them out, and he really didn't give them any face. The faces of the two were blue and red for a while, and after all, they bit their lips and went out with red circles.

Lin Ruhai rushed people, and he was not in much of a mood to take a bath, so he hurriedly washed it, and then changed his clothes and came out. With a gloomy face, he went to find Jia Zheng.

At that time, Jia Zheng was talking about poetry and papers with the Qing guests in the house, and when he heard the little guy say that Lin Ruhai was here, he said happily: "Please." As he spoke, he hurriedly greeted him, "Sister-in-law, I'm back early today." ”

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment when he saw a group of people coming out of the study, and then restrained his anger. smiled slightly, "It's been a few days since I returned to the court, and I've been busy with business, and I haven't had a good chat with my uncle." It's rare to have leisure today, so I came over and didn't disturb my uncle. ”

"No, no, please come in." Jia Zheng led sideways. Give way in.

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Uncle first, please." ”

"Go in and go together." Jia Zheng took Lin Ruhai's hand, entered the study with a smile, and introduced all the Qingke to him.

Lin Ruhai always smiled kindly. One by one, they bowed their heads and chatted a few more words.

When all the Qing guests saw Lin Ruhai, they were extremely excited. You know, this is a celebrity in front of the saint, if you can get him clear-eyed, there is no need to talk about the future. Everyone is trying their best to show their best side, but also to maintain their own character, and refuse to show too stammering appearance, it is really difficult to die.

Lin Ruhai has been in officialdom for so many years, and he has never seen anything. He didn't say much, he kept listening, and nodded occasionally, as if to echo or encourage, and said nothing at the time. After chatting for a while, Zhongqingke had to retire with regret.

When everyone left, Lin Ruhai swept around the house, and saw that there were only two small servants standing outside, so he opened his mouth directly, "Uncle, I won't turn Mojiao, so I will speak bluntly." ”

Jia Zheng still wondered, what is the matter with Lin Ruhai?

Seeing Lin Ruhai's face, he said seriously: "Please also ask my uncle to talk to the old lady, just wait for the two little servants to serve the tea and pour the water, there is no need for the girl to come over." ”

Jia Zheng was stunned, he never thought that Lin Ruhai would come over to talk about it. Then, his face turned red, since Lin Ruhai deliberately asked him to speak, it must be that the girl was not honest, she was really ashamed.

"Sister, sister-in-law, don't worry, go and tell the old lady for my brother." Jia Zheng was so angry that he stammered a little, feeling that his family was embarrassed again.

Lin Ruhai's expression was slightly gloomy, and he softened his tone: "Uncle, don't be idle with me, I have always been the easiest to dissipate a man's ambition in a beautiful country." The nephews are still young, so don't break their bodies and delay their studies. Besides, concubines and maids have always been the source of chaos, and it is better not to accept them or not. is like Brother Zhu, he is so strong, and his studies are the most painstaking thing, and then there are men and women who cut their essence and blood, where can the body be good? The wife will feel sorry for her husband, but the concubine and maid will be tied to the man with honor and disgrace, how can she be considerate? must use all means to seek grace, and in the long run, no matter how good a child is, it will be difficult to keep his body strong. ”

Lin Ruhai lives in the Rongguo Mansion these days, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the Jia family's houses. Let's just say Jia Zhu, how old is she, there are two or three aunts in the house, and four or five girls who have a room. These people were either given by the old lady or Mrs. Wang, plus Li Kun found someone to tie her husband's heart, how can they be.

Lin Ruhai's words were particularly clear, which made Jia Zheng very embarrassed. As far as he knows, Lin Ruhai's son Lin Rui doesn't let go of girls in the small room, and most of the things are done by himself. When I came to Kyoto last year to inspect my family's grange shop, I also lived in Jia's house. At a young age, his words and deeds are already disciplined. Jia Zheng tried his knowledge, and he was many times higher than his peers, and even he was inferior. Jia Zheng was so envious at that time, he really hated that it couldn't be his son.

Today, as soon as Lin Ruhai mentioned his son's matter, compared with his own children, how could Jia Zheng not think about it, how could he not be ashamed.

He got up and shook Lin Ruhai to the ground, "Thank you sister-in-law for teaching me, otherwise, I'm afraid that the woman will mistake her son." ”

Lin Ruhai hurriedly dodged and said with a smile: "How can this make it, uncle, don't be like this." As parents, we always hope that our child is well, where can we take the initiative to harm him. Sister-in-law is also a beloved son, and my uncle should not be harsh. ”

"Hmm." Jia Zheng replied in a low voice.

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai changed the subject, "Uncle, you have been serving in the Sixth Department for more than ten years, and you have enough qualifications, and there should be a new envoy sent down in recent years." It's just that. Let me say a word, most of these Qingke in the house are embroidered pillows, with beautiful faces, talking with them, relieving boredom to the point that it is okay, if you really want to go to government affairs, I am afraid that it will not be useful. If you have an errand to be sent abroad, remember to send someone to tell me, and I will recommend a few old officials to come over. These people. It's all made by me, needless to say, it's rare to be reliable. ”

When Jia Zheng heard Lin Ruhai's words, this joy was not trivial, and he hurriedly said, "If it is really as my sister-in-law said, it will trouble you." ”

"We're all a family, so what's the trouble."

Lin Ruhai chatted with Jia Zheng for a while until dinner. I went back to the courtyard where I was temporarily staying.

The two girls still had red circles under their eyes, but they still came out. Lin Ruhai was slightly upset, "I don't need you to serve here, let's go down." "Waved the girl away. He personally laid paper and polished ink, and wrote a letter to Jia Min, mainly to report that he resisted the temptation of pink. Excellent performance, ask for touch, ask for praise.

Jia Zheng's side. After Lin Ruhai left, he got up and went to Mrs. Wang's house.

Mrs. Wang, Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan were there, Aunt Zhao stood at the door with the curtain, as soon as she saw Jia Zheng coming, she smiled on her face, her eyes softened, and her voice softened, who knew that Jia Zheng didn't look at her, but went straight into the house.

When Mrs. Wang heard Aunt Zhao's tone, she knew that Jia Zheng was coming, and she looked down on Aunt Zhao's frivolous appearance in her heart, but she refused to say anything about her, she was like this, and she would not change for the rest of her life.

When Mrs. Wang saw Jia Zheng coming in, she quickly stood up, helped Jia Zheng change his clothes, and asked with a smile: "Didn't the master drink with my aunt?" Why did you disperse so early? ”

Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan both came to ask Jia Zheng for peace, and when Jia Zheng saw Baoyu all red, he remembered that he refused to study, and he was good at messing around in the back house, and his face turned black. Thinking about Lin Rui again, the color is another layer black. "Is it a dead little beast to coax your mother to promise you not to go to school?"

The family science of the Jia family has persisted in so many years, and with the rules set by Jia Daishan in front, the invited gentlemen who sat in the hall can be regarded as having real talents, and they have also taught a few talents. Therefore, Jia Zheng is very strict in the matter of his son's schooling, no matter whether Gao is happy or not, whether he wants to or not, Baoyu and Jia Huan must go.

It's just that Baoyu is Mrs. Wang's youngest son, and he was born unusually, plus the old lady is pampered in every way, and she asks him for leave from time to time, Jia Zheng knows it, and he can't manage it deeply. He was angry here, and Jia's mother came to discipline him, making him really powerless to teach his young son.

When Mrs. Wang saw that Baoyu was yelled at by her husband, her face turned white, she pulled him over in distress and explained: "Baoyu came to tell me that he didn't understand the books he had read recently, and he wanted to ask his aunt, but he was afraid of disturbing his aunt's rest." Mrs. Wang's thinking changed quickly, Lin Ruhai was so trusted by the saint, she also threw aside the point of disagreement with Jia Min. Over the years, the four festivals and eight ceremonies sent to Jiangnan did not need to be ordered by Jia's mother, and she took care of them all by herself.

This time, Lin Ruhai returned to the dynasty to report on his work, and lived in Jiafu, and Mrs. Wang hoped that her son would get close to him. She also vaguely had some plans, the Lin family itself was a four-generation liege, plus he had been operating in Jiangnan for more than ten years, and he had been the fattest child in the world for seven or eight years, and the sage handed over the weaving to him. Even if Lin Ruhai is incorruptible, he should get more than 200,000 silver every year, and this family is only a lot more than the Jia family. Lin Ruhai and Jia Min only have a son and a daughter, with Jia Min's love for children, Lin Daiyu's dowry is extremely rich, coupled with Lin Ruhai's strength, it can be of great help to Baoyu.

It's just that she and Jia Min are not very harmonious, her husband's official position is not high, and the saints are not thick, but I am afraid that Jia Min will not agree. She thought that with Baoyu's character and intelligence, if she showed up more in front of Lin Ruhai and got close to him, she would definitely be able to take a fancy to him. When he takes a fancy to it, it should be much easier to talk about marriage again. Of course, this was just a small thought of hers, and no one dared to say it.

Jia Zheng listened to Mrs. Wang's words, his eyes fell on Jia Baoyu, and he shouted: "Is what Mrs. said true?" ”

Baoyu had always been very afraid of Jia Zheng, and replied tremblingly: "Yes...... Be. Where did he have any questions to ask Lin Ruhai, but just now Mrs. Wang did ask him to go to Lin Ruhai more often, and then Jia Huan came, and the topic stopped.

Now that he said this in front of Jia Zheng, his father was going to take it seriously, and told his brother-in-law, where did he go to find a question to ask? I can't say it, I'm going back in the evening today, and I'm going to have to stay up all night for a while.

Jia Zheng nodded, "Your brother-in-law's knowledge is excellent, but he is busy with official business, where does he have time to answer these children's questions." If you don't, come and ask me, or ask the gentleman in the school. ”

When Baoyu heard this, he was really amnesty, and hurriedly said, "Yes, my son knows." (To be continued......)
