Not to mention that Lin Miaoyin and Lin Siming went to Lu's house, Jia Min received the news as early as when they entered the city. Jia Min originally sent a steward with a few boys to wait at the city gate. I don't want to, someone rushed to report on this day, saying that Uncle Ming and Miss Miao from Gusu had arrived and stayed at Dongsheng Inn.

Jia Min's face sank, and even Lin Rui had a rare dark cloud on his face. What do they want to do, if they don't want to go to the Lin family, don't write to them before. What does it mean that Baba wrote a letter and entered the city and did not come to his house?

Cuizhu saw that his wife and uncle were not good-looking, so he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Maybe Uncle Ming and Miss Miao feel that it is indecent to go all the way to the house, so they want to go to the inn to freshen up and come back." ”

Jia Min didn't say anything more, but Lin Rui sneered, "I hope it's as Aunt Cui said." "In this style, they don't know the way, they don't know the way, and they think that their family is powerful, so they look down on the clansmen.

really hit Lin Rui and said it, and someone came to report the next day, "Back to Mrs. and Uncle, Uncle Ming and Miss Miao went to Lu's house." ”

Lin Rui had changed his smile at this time, shaking the fan in his hand, "What did I say, the words that really hit me came up." ”

Jia Min leaned back, lost his anger from yesterday, and said casually, "Don't look at them anymore, do whatever they like, and have nothing to do with our family." He also explained to Lin Rui: "When they came to Yangzhou, they went to Lu's house first, and they must have something to ask for." You don't have to pay attention to them, but you don't know what to do when they come. ”

Lin Rui raised his eyebrows, then got up and said respectfully: "My son knows how to do it." ”

When Lin Rui left, Daiyu asked, "Mother, is the sister of the Lin family here?" ”

Jia Min nodded, "Yes." However, if Yu'er wants to see her, I'm afraid she will have to wait. ”

Daiyu frowned slightly, but did not make a sound.

Jia Min saw this. patted her daughter's little face, "Don't think too much, how old are you, you will learn to worry." ”

Daiyu asked puzzledly: "I heard from my mother, Brother Ming and Sister Miao are also people who are well-read and reasonable, how could they do such a rude thing?" ”

Jia Min sighed: "There are more people reading in this world, but not all of them are reasonable. Otherwise, where do the corrupt officials come from? ”

Before Daiyu could think about it, her little face was held by Jia Min, "You haven't studied this yet." Hurry up and eat and go to class when you're done. If you are late, Mr. Careful will punish you. ”

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min got this daughter after the old age, and they loved her like a treasure, and when they saw that she liked to read, they invited a well-educated person to come back and teach a class for their daughter. Then there are piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and other industries, all of which have specialized people as teachers. On the contrary, it is the female red, cooking, female four books, etc., which women should learn, and the husband and wife don't care too much. Just like Lin Ruhai said. Even if his daughter marries in the future, she will be a slave and a maidservant, and she will have someone to make clothes and cook for herself. He Lao did it herself. However, when she got married, they accompanied a lot of embroidery girls and cooks. Now tell her to learn a little and understand something. There's no need to specialize. Besides, embroidery is a waste of eyes, and cooking is even more afraid of hurting my daughter. If you can avoid it, you can avoid it.

Daiyu had already finished eating, listened to her mother's words, glanced at the clock, and sure enough, it was not early, so she quickly got up and rinsed her mouth, changed her clothes, and hurried to the study with the girl.

Jia Min completely threw Lin Miaoyin and Lin Siming out of the clouds here, still teaching her daughter as in the past, handling family affairs, and then at the invitation of others, she went to a banquet, or invited a few people to come to the house for a small gathering.

In this way, after another ten days, the housekeeper who had been waiting on the edge of the dock sent the little servant back to report the news, "If you return to Mrs., the master has returned." ”

Jia Min's joy was not trivial, and the family affairs that had not yet been dealt with were directly put aside, and he sent someone to greet Lin Ruhai with a smile, and called the girl, "Meizi, go to the kitchen and ask, is the hot water ready?" The dishes that the master likes to eat are all prepared, and they can be made now. ”

"Peach, go open the box and take out the summer shirt made of Xiangyun yarn that was made only two days ago."

The big girls in the house, who were instructed by Jia Min, still Mo Ju smiled and said, "Madam, you should also change into brighter clothes." ”

Jia Min looked down at herself, wearing a watery azure cardigan and a light green gauze skirt, refreshing and refreshing, so that she didn't need to change it, "I don't need to, you go and tell Mr. Su, the master will come back today and ask the girl for a day off." ”

Mo Ju pursed her lips and smiled, glanced at Cuizhu, and turned away. Cuizhu, Mei Qing, and Zhu Qing came over to help Jia Min, and went to the main courtyard, and said with a smile: "How long did the master go and come back, and the wife should dress up." ”

Jia Min was overwhelmed by these people, so he could only smile and say: "Okay, okay, let go, I'll let you guys dress up, it's all right." ”

Compared with Jia Min, Lin Ruhai was even more like an arrow, he didn't even do a sedan chair along the way, he flew directly on the horse, ran directly to the door of the house, turned over and dismounted, and strode towards the house.

Jia Min hadn't finished dressing up here, but he could hear the voices of the girls outside, and then the bamboo curtain was raised, and the dusty Lin Ruhai stepped in in one step. When he saw Jia Min, his eyes lit up, and he ran over in a few steps, hugged his hands, and rubbed his head in her shoulder socket, "Daughter-in-law, I'm back." ”

Jia Min was quite moved at first, and then felt that the person holding him was covered in sweat, and there was a smell of not knowing what the road was. She only felt that the green tendons on her forehead jumped up, grinded her teeth and said, "Husband, seeing that you are sweating all over, I asked someone to prepare water, go and take a bath." As he spoke, he pinched him the waist.

Lin Ruhai straightened his teeth in pain, but a big smile appeared on his face, "Well, Xie Lu Xie daughter-in-law." As he spoke, he asked Jia Min to kiss him the face.

Jia Min wiped his face and glanced at the smirking man, "I'm not afraid to kiss your powder." ”

Lin Ruhai: "Hehe. ”

Seeing him like this, Jia Min snatched his hand, dropped the handkerchief, turned around and picked up the curtain and went out, "Uncle wants to bathe, go and fetch water to come in." ”

Just when Lin Ruhai hugged Jia Min, all the girls came out of the house with their heads bowed and snickering. There are those who call for people, there are those who prepare things, and there are those who ask for people to carry the bath tub......

Lin Ruhai washed away the fatigue and dust of his body and changed a bucket of water. Soak in it leisurely, and talk to Jia Min who was sitting outside the screen, "The sage said that we can transfer back next year." It's nice to finally not have to stay in Jiangnan to make people hate. ”

Jia Min laughed at him: "After returning to the dynasty, I'm afraid that more people will hate you." ”

Lin Ruhai monster shouted: "How come? ”

"By the way, did the sage say that you should go back to the Hanlin Academy?" Jia Min really hopes that her husband can go to a place to retire in peace, he is already in the limelight in Jiangnan and needs to take a break.

Lin Ruhai's voice was particularly depressed, "No." ”

All right. If you don't succeed, forget it. "Have you told Yang Ze about it?" Marrying a daughter-in-law, this is a big deal.

"Okay, when we return to Beijing, we will perform six ceremonies, and the wedding date will be set after the prince's wedding." The crown prince's wedding, if it is not prepared for more than two years, it is not grand.

The husband and wife chatted, and Lin Ruhai became more and more energetic the more he chatted, and waited until the water was cold before getting up. I put on a sari at random. I took off my shoes and came out, lay down on the soft couch, and groaned comfortably, "It's still comfortable at home." During this time, I was doing boat work, and I watched everything with ghosting. ”

Jia Min took a large cloth towel of muslin, wiped his head, and said casually: "Uncle Zhuo's son and daughter came to Yangzhou." Your brother wrote to him and said that he wanted us to take care of their brother and sister. ”

Lin Ruhai closed his eyes comfortably, "If you come, you will come." There are only two juniors left and right, just let Rui'er and Yu'er entertain them. I remember that the youngest daughter of Brother Zhuo's family is only two years older than Yu'er? It should be playable. ”

Jia Min: "Hehe, you think very well, people don't look down on us." More than ten days ago, I entered Yangzhou, lived directly in Dongsheng Inn, and then visited each family, so far I haven't been on the door of our house, and I haven't even said a word. She glanced at her husband who opened her eyes, smiled slightly, and said again: "You don't know the Tao yet, now it is rumored all over the south of the Yangtze River that Lin Siming is your son." When his mother was pregnant with him, because I was jealous, I hid the fact that she was pregnant, and drove him out. ”

Lin Ruhai sat up suddenly, his eyes widened, and he scolded loudly: "I'm phew! Whoever spreads this gossip has no brains! The rules will allow the eldest son to appear! If that girl was really pregnant, she could still release the fish well, and she would have gone down a bowl a long time ago, had an abortion, and was sold. "After coming to ancient times for so long, Lin Ruhai is very familiar with some of the rules and practices of the House of Scholars and the Gate of the Princes. Just like his wife said, after some people in later generations watched the Red Mansion, they scolded the Jia family for having no rules or anything, but this is the Jia family, and no eldest son appeared. From Jia Yu to Jia Zheng to Jia Zhen, not everyone was born first. is the concubine room in the family, not to mention Jia Zheng's Aunt Zhao, who gave birth to a son and a daughter, and stood outside Mrs. Wang's door to open the curtain. Even Jia Zhen and Jia Yu, who have the most erosive private lives, and whose concubines and maidservants climbed on the head of his wife. Even if the You family and the Xing family are both stepwives, no concubine dares to be disrespectful in person.

To put it mildly, that is, if you are a concubine, don't complain that your eldest wife is not good for you, this is the normal state, and no one says that the wife is wrong for this. Because you are just a plaything, you can beat and scold others, and you can sell it if you are in a bad mood. Be kind to you, that's because you've been blessed and you've met a good master. Don't think that you are precious when you give birth to a son, your son is born to someone else, and it has nothing to do with you if you call it the mother of the wife. I really thought that after giving birth to a son, I could set up a score, so let's dream. As long as he still wants to be an official, and he still wants to be promoted, he will not make the obvious mistake of spoiling his concubine and killing his wife, but anyone who is smart will not make it.

Lin Ruhai was so angry that he circled around the house, he couldn't imagine that this was someone deliberately pouring sewage on him. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his wife leaning on the couch with a smile, and the cloth towel used to wipe her hair was thrown aside, he immediately changed color, and came to her pitifully, "Wife, you have to believe me, what Lin Siming, it has nothing to do with me." ”

Jia Min reached out and patted his head, "Don't worry, I've checked it out." That Lin Siming's mother is Bi Xuan, and somehow, she escaped from her husband's house with her son, and she hasn't appeared again for so many years. ”

Lin Ruhai sat down again, frowning and thinking: "Bi Xuan? "Forgive him, more than twenty years have passed, and unimportant people have long since forgotten.

Jia Min smiled: "It's your former personal girl, and after we got married, I released it." I remember that we had a debate about whether or not to give them a deed. "That was the first time they had disagreed since they came to ancient times. Lin Ruhai felt that since he had released the person from the body, he would give the deed, and it was better to be a good citizen than a slave.

Jia Min disagreed, she felt that the good people of this era may not have the slaves and maids of the Prince's Mansion to live well. Besides, she also guarded against Bi Xuan. I'm afraid that if I give the deed, they will have some kind of moths. After the last, Lin Ruhai not only didn't argue with his wife, but also had a lot of bruises and purple marks on his body, and he was careful to accompany him for a month.

Don't look at Lin Ruhai, I don't remember who Bi Xuan is, but I still remember the dispute with Jia Min very clearly. "Ah, I remember. The girl who was a thorn. I remember, isn't she married and has children? "Jia Min talked about it, and with the beginning, he remembered the rest of the things.

"Not bad. I kept an eye on them, and it wasn't until the child was a year old that I got rid of them. Jia Min smiled meaningfully, "Lin Siming is twenty-two years old this year, she is really shameless and has to rely on you, and it makes sense." ”

", is this something you can rely on?" Lin Ruhai is very irritable, even if he is a man, his reputation is just as important, okay. I don't want to be casually put on a cheap son.

Jia Min patted him. "You're so irritable, didn't you let that villain see the joke for nothing."

"Hmph, do you want to be ignorant of the Tao?"

"Whatever you want, it's to be exposed. You also have to pick a good time. Jia Min shook his fan and narrowed his eyes slightly, "If it's Lin Siming's kid, don't play any tricks." That's it, if you really want to play any tricks, it's not too late to clean him up. "I really can't. went directly to the capital to bring Bi Xuan's husband over, and went directly to the government to report that the runaway wife and slave were enough for her.

Lin Ruhai was silent for a long time, and sighed, "Okay, I understand what you mean." "No matter what Bi Xuan does, Lin Siming is not at fault, he is just a child who was fooled by his biological mother, and he will let it go if he can let it go. It's just that if he really dares to deal with Lin Rui or the Lin family, he can't say it, he should be shot to death.

"Mother......" Daiyu's delicate voice sounded outside, she had been here for a long time, her father and mother were talking inside, and she was not easy to go in. She should have gone back to her yard, but she hadn't seen her father for a long time.

Jia Min heard Daiyu's voice and patted her husband, "Go and get dressed, Yu'er is here." "When the daughter is older, she is her biological father, and she can't see her in disheveled clothes.

Lin Ruhai quickly tidied himself up, sat down on the wooden couch, and smiled as his daughter came in, he beckoned to his daughter, "Yu'er, let Daddy take a good look." ”

Daiyu came over with a smile and tilted her head cutely, "Daddy, it seems that you have lost weight, and it is very hard to get out, right?" ”

Lin Ruhai touched her head lovingly, "Xie Lu Xie Yuer is worried, Daddy is not hard." Yo, I've grown taller and prettier. ”

The straightforward compliment made Daiyu's little face red, turned around and hid beside Jia Min, and looked at Lin Ruhai with a small mouth, which made him laugh out loud, "I know that Lu Dao is shy, but it can be seen that he has grown up." ”

A family of three, talking and laughing, soon Lin Rui also came back. Family, reunited after a long absence, has a lot to say. When Lin Ruhai returned to Kyoto this time, he brought back many gifts to his wife and children. In addition, Xiao Jin's reward, the Jia family's preparation, and Yang Ze, Mu Lin, and Mu Ying's delivery, were enough to bring back more than half a boat. At this time, on the ground in Jia Min's house, seven or eight boxes were opened, and Lin Ruhai waved his hand, "This is for Yu'er and Rui'er, you can divide it yourself." ”

Lin Rui and Daiyu glanced at each other, and at the same time walked over to the box containing the books, squatting down in surprise to look through it, Lin Rui excitedly held up a copy, and looked at Lin Ruhai with bright eyes: "Dad, where did you find these books?" "A lot of them are orphan versions, and you can't buy them.

Lin Ruhai was nibbling on watermelon, wiped his mouth and hands when he heard the words, paced over and leaned over to take a look, and then smiled: "It's also a coincidence, I met a loser who sold his ancestral property, and I happened to see that there were calligraphy and paintings, and I asked casually, only to know that I had a room of books in his house, and I bought them all." "...... said," he said, pouting, "and there are more than a dozen boxes." This is specially selected for your brothers and sisters, and the rest are put in the library. ”

Daiyu held a stack of books in her hand, and her eyes couldn't help but aim at the book in her brother's hand, "Brother, will you give me the book in your hand?" ”

Lin Rui has always loved her the most, and he smiled when he heard this: "You can move these two boxes back, if I want to see them, I will borrow them from you." ”

Daiyu smiled embarrassedly: "How can this be made, Daddy said that this is the two of us, and I can take it anywhere." "Even if my brother loves her, it won't work.

Lin Rui smiled and scratched her little nose, "Then let's not pick it." One took a box and left, and when he met a good one, he copied it and gave it to the other party. ”

Daiyu's bright eyes smiled into a crescent moon, and nodded again and again, "Okay." ”

The two brothers and sisters only cared about reading, and the rest of the clothes, jewelry, fans, and purses were too lazy to turn over, so they only pointed at random. I just want people to move back.

Jia Min was so troubled by them that he couldn't cry or laugh, and stopped the two, "Put them all away, when I'm free, sort out these things, and then distribute them to you." ”

The two brothers and sisters blushed when they said this, and they sat next to Jia Min on the left and right, pulling her sleeves and coquettishly: "Xie Lu Xie Niang." ”

"The things that Daddy brought back are all the same good. We just split it up. ”

Jia Min slapped the hands of the two of them away, and said angrily: "Look at your little black claws, and rubbing them on my clothes." ”

Lin Rui and Daiyu glanced at each other, and both hung their heads embarrassedly. Jia Min didn't let them go, "You didn't look at what was in that box, many of them were hairpin ring jewelry." The clothes are also delicate colors, obviously for your sister. Do you carry it back to do it? Collect it for your daughter-in-law in advance? ”

One sentence made Lin Rui blush. Softly begged: "Mother's ......"

Jia Min ignored him and turned her head to look at her daughter, Daiyu hurriedly begged for mercy, "Mother, I know that Lu is wrong." ”

"How wrong."

"Mother......

Jia Min poked his son and then his daughter, "Your father loves you, he returns to the court to report on his work, and when he is busy with official business, he still wants to choose a gift for you." I'm afraid you don't like it, I don't know how many stores Lu Dao has to go, you treat it so casually, do you cherish his heart? ”

Lin Rui and Daiyu couldn't sit still, so they got up together and saluted Lin Ruhai and apologized, "Daddy, the child is wrong." ”

The stupid father hurriedly waved his hand and comforted: "There is nothing to do, there is nothing to do, I have not been busy when I go back, I just accompany the saint to eat, drink and have fun." He complained to Jia Min again: "It's good if the children are happy, what do you do to say this about them." My son and daughter are the most considerate and filial, and others don't know how much they envy me. ”

Jia Min glared at this stupid father, just like him, a filial son and a filial daughter, without her as a strict mother, he may have to make the child what he is used to. Lin Rui and Daiyu can grow so well, and everyone loves them, all of which are her credits. I'm going to point at that stupid daddy, huh......

Here in the Lin family, the father is kind and the son is filial, and the family is happy. In the Dongsheng Inn, Lin Miaoyin was also talking to Lin Siming. She raised her hand to hold the pot and poured a cup of tea for Lin Siming, "This is this year's pre-rain tea, brother try it." ”

Lin Siming was a little absent-minded, holding the cup, stunned.

Seeing this, Lin Miaoyin sighed, raised her hand and took the cup in his hand, "Brother, are you still thinking about Uncle Lin?" ”

Lin Siming immediately denied it, "I'm worried about how to behave when I see Mr. Ye tomorrow." ”

Lin Miaoyin didn't say anything, but comforted him: "With my brother's intelligence and ability, I will definitely be able to Mr. Ye's blue eyes." ”

"Borrow my sister's good words." Lin Siming tugged at the corners of his lips and showed a smile.

Lin Miaoyin sighed, "Brother, Lord Lin has returned, we have to find a day to visit us." They have been in Yangzhou for many days, and they have also visited several relatives and friends, and it is impossible for the Lin family to be ignorant of the Lin family's strength in Yangzhou. But people just didn't even react, so it can be seen that they didn't put their brothers and sisters in their eyes, or Jia Min was empty-hearted.

Hmph, since you don't look down on us, we don't have to rush to see people's faces. Our Gusu Lin family doesn't need to rely on Lin Ruhai. Of course, it is not as reliable as Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Siming will be entangled, he has always thought that he has no other emotions for Lin Ruhai, a confused father, except hatred. But when I really had to face him, I found that he also had longing for his family. How could it be, that dad would have given up on him a long time ago, hadn't he? And his poor mother, who almost died.

Lin Miaoyin reassured with words: "Brother, Uncle Lin must have been deceived by that woman. I heard my father say that Uncle Lin's branch has a thin heir, Aunt Bi is pregnant, and she is favored by her uncle, she was scared, so she used tricks to drive Aunt Bi away. If Uncle Lin knew that Aunt Daobi was pregnant, he would definitely not let her do this. ”

Her words made Lin Siming come to his senses, and he clenched his fists heavily and said, "Yes, it's all the fault of that poisonous woman." I will give my mother justice and seek justice. (To be continued......)
