Time flies, three years have passed in a hurry, and the little bean Ding has grown into a little teenager, and the young man's father has also changed from a graceful Tanhualang to a hot upstart in front of Emperor Qixiang today.

In the past three years, Lin Ruhai's grade has risen again and again, from a fifth-grade waiter to a fourth-grade waiter, and his grade has been upgraded and he has more things to do. Now Emperor Qixiang has issued ten holy decrees, five of which were drafted by Lin Ruhai. Jia Min even teased her husband in private, "You are the first secretary in the country." ”

Lin Ruhai grabbed his hair and smiled. At that time, as the secretary of the first person in the world, it was not easy to do. In the past three years, Lin Ruhai has spent most of his time at home except for going to the Hanlin Academy and working as an errand in front of the palace, and even Xiao Jin and Yang Ze have been in less contact. Occasionally going out to classmates and partying in the same year, he didn't drink a drop of alcohol, only drank water, and refused to change even if he was sprayed half to death.

The more he did this, the more Emperor Qixiang liked him, and in the past year, his attitude towards him even exceeded that of all princes, which was called an amiable person. even often came to his house in civilian clothes, sat down, and rubbed a meal of wine and food, and then returned to the palace satisfied.

On this day, a gentle breeze blows through the wide canopy of the banyan tree, bringing wisps of refreshment. Under the banyan tree, an old man and a young man were playing chess, and the old one, the little boy who was stealing his eyebrows and mouse-eyed peeked at the little boy opposite, and saw that he was immersed in the book, so he immediately made a move and changed the position of a few white chess pieces on the chessboard, and then raised his head seriously and coughed lightly, and raised his voice slightly: "Second fool, it's your turn." ”

The little boy with clear eyebrows pursed his eyes and frowned slightly. "That's not how these chess pieces were set up just now, right?"

The old man was very weak-hearted, and he strengthened his momentum: "That's it." ”

Lin Rui put down the book. Stared carefully at the chessboard and recalled. Then he stretched out his hand and restored the chess pieces that had been moved one by one, before he raised his head and looked at the old man: he smiled lightly, "Is this right!" ”

Emperor Qixiang has done a lot of this kind of thing, and his face that has been exercised is not red and breathless, so he directly picked up a tooth of watermelon and gnawed it, and said vaguely: "Bastard boy, I don't know how to let my old man." ”

Lin Rui smiled. Stretched out his hand and moved a few chess pieces back, looked up and smiled: "Is this okay?" ”

Emperor Qixiang simply played tricks, stretched out his hand to the chessboard and snored, and smiled roguely: "I'm sorry, my hand is slipping." He looked at the chessboard, "This game can't be played, let's start over." ”

Lin Rui smiled lightly, tilted his head slightly, and asked very obediently, "It's okay." I remember this plate before, and it would be nice to put it out again. ”

Emperor Qixiang was completely annoyed this time, "Stinky boy, don't you just have a better memory." Always show something! ”

Lin Rui's little classmate This is no longer a matter of good memory, the older he gets, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai find out. This son of his own is simply a genius, the kind with an over-the-top IQ. The kind of one glance and ten lines that the ancients used to say. The miracle that I never forgot turned out to be true. It's not an exaggeration, his son can do it easily.

The son is so smart, but he turned Lin Ruhai and Jia Min sad with a few hairs. Since ancient times, there have been many prodigies, but when they grow up, they do nothing and disappear from the public. This is because most of the smart people learn things quickly, and others don't use a lot of energy as well as they learn casually. The more simple it is, the more likely they are to get bored, and then they quickly lose interest and refuse to learn. Then, the more you learn, the more you don't become proficient.

Another point is that if a person is smart, he will consciously or unconsciously have a sense of pride, and always feel that others are inferior to him, and after a long time, pride will become conceit, and he will lose his modesty and prudence.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min definitely don't want their son to become like this, so they are almost worried about Lin Rui's education. Fortunately, he has a good teacher, he has taught more students, and he has seen a lot of various types, so it is still easy to deal with a Lin Rui. However, Lin Rui and Xiao Chen can't be allowed to get together, once they get together, except for Jia Min, even old fox spirits like Old Man Yuan and Emperor Qixiang can't do much with them.

is like Emperor Qixiang, who was idle and bored before, taught Xiao Chen and Lin Rui to play chess, and then finished abusing the two children, laughing proudly. As a result, within two years, Lin Rui abused him completely, and let him use all kinds of tricks, and finally had to lose his essence and return to the palace. This old man shook M to death, knowing that he was invincible, he always had to take the initiative to rush over and be abused, and then he held his stomach and returned to the palace humming.

Today is the seventh game, from backgammon to chess to Go, Emperor Qixiang has not won once, seeing that if he loses again, his beloved "Wu Daozi Nanyue Tu" is about to fly out of the palace and fall into the hands of this kid. No, painting is a trivial matter, a dignified summer, can a little doll win eight times in a row!

"It was my lack of energy just now that I took a nap to let you win, and now I'm in old spirits, see how I clean up your little things!" Emperor Qixiang straightened his body, and with a wave of his hand, naturally someone stepped forward, changed the chessboard and chess pieces, and then put a new one. The ...... just now Ahem, it's stained with watermelon juice, so you have to take it off and wash it.

Lin Rui's face remained unchanged, he raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "It doesn't matter." ”

Just four words, almost didn't make Emperor Qixiang jump up from the chair in anger, pointed at his nose and scolded. Fortunately, he thought in time that he couldn't be angry, and if he was angry, he would lose faster if he fell into this kid's way.

"Hmph." Emperor Qixiang glanced at Lin Rui and said in his heart: This kid doesn't know who to learn from, and he smiles every day, which is really bad.

One old and one young, then put on the shelf, you go back and forth and fight. There are about more than ten sons, and Emperor Qixiang's speed has slowed down significantly, and he has to think for a long time every time, but Lin Rui is much more relaxed, and he picked up the book he read before and read it slowly.

"Why, are you sure that's right?" Lin Rui looked at the chessboard and said with a smile.

Emperor Qixiang didn't move his chess pieces this time, changed Lin Rui's, and when he looked at it, he said confidently: "That's it." ”

"Okay." The young man's delicate little face showed a helpless smile, "Then I played, can you regret the chess." ”

"No, no, no." Emperor Qixiang was very generous this time.

After a dozen more hands. Emperor Qixiang suddenly shouted, "Oops. I just remembered that I had just been careless. Touch your pieces. Come on, come on, these few steps are not counted, go again and again! ”

"Grandpa Huang, you are playing tricks again." With a somewhat cold voice, Lin Rui raised his eyebrows: "Why are you here?" ”

The young man with hard eyebrows and eyes, with a straight posture, also raised his eyebrows and said, "Why can't I come?" "Clear eyes obviously written: Hey, that's my grandfather, how about you save some face, okay?

Another pair of dark eyes replied: I'm already very face-saving!

Xiao Chen came to Emperor Qixiang's side in a few steps. His eyes fell on the chessboard, and he casually pointed to one place, "Here." ”

Emperor Qixiang slapped his thigh, "Wonderful! And then it fell.

Lin Rui looked at it for a long time, "Isn't it time to talk about me?" ”

Well, Emperor Qixiang was very reluctant to take the white son back, Lin Rui calmly put his sunspot in the position that Xiao Chen had just pointed out in the eyes of the pair of ancestors and grandsons opposite, and then raised his head and smiled very purely: "Achen still understands me." ”

Emperor Qixiang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. Xiao Chen smiled very deeply, and then was photographed, "Little baby, what are you pretending to be deep." "The person who patted him was Old Man Yuan. He stood on the edge of the chess game, and without a few glances, he laughed. "The saint has lost again."

Emperor Qixiang immediately exploded, "How do you know that I'm going to lose again!" ”

Old man Yuan twisted his beard. "I can see it."

Emperor Qixiang: "......" He angrily pressed his grandson to his seat, "You come." If you lose, just wait for the board! ”

At this time, Lin Ruhai, who had been struggling in the kitchen for most of the day, rushed over very unhappily: "Hey, hey, in my family, I also bullied my son together, it's too much!" ”

Emperor Qixiang was so angry that he pointed to the purses, sachets, fan pendants, folding fans and other things in Lin Rui's hand, "Lin Ruhai, look at it, I'm embarrassed to say that I bullied your son!" "This bastard has won everything on me, who bullies whom!

"Uh......" Lin Ruhai saw the small pile of things in his son's hand, and at a glance, they were not mortal. Hehe, the banquet has been set up, and the saint is invited to the table. ”

"Hmph." Emperor Qixiang flicked his sleeves and took the opportunity to leave. If he doesn't leave, he'll have to lose again.

Lin Rui pursed his lips and suddenly winked at Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen immediately spoke: "Grandpa Huang, see your grandson avenge you." ”

Lin Rui raised his eyebrows and asked, "The sage's bet is Wu Daozi's painting!" ”

Xiao Chen said: "What about you? ”

"Yan Zhenqing's tablet." Lin Ruhai is accustomed to his face, and there are the most such books at home, which also indirectly affects Lin Rui.

"I use the Lanting Diagram!"

"Mr. Shizhou's?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, bet!"

When Emperor Qixiang saw it, he became interested, and he thought that as an emperor, how could he let his little grandson take a bet? He waved his hand very boldly, "No need, I have a picture of the Three Friends of the Year and the Cold by Yi Zhai, and whoever of you wins, this painting will belong to whoever wins." ”

Lin Rui and Xiao Chen spoke at the same time: "Really? ”

Emperor Qixiang looked at the bright eyes of the two teenagers, and immediately understood that he had been calculated again, he had already taken the initiative to jump into the pit N times, why didn't he remember it! But in the face of such two pairs of sparkling eyes, the "fake" couldn't be said, so he could only flick his sleeves and leave angrily.

Xiao Chen and Lin Rui cheered at the same time, but the two refused to go to the table to find a scolding, and went into Jia Min's house together. Emperor Qixiang came, Jia Min couldn't sit at the same table with him, but fortunately, Lin Ruhai, who loved his wife, had already prepared good materials for his wife.

As soon as the two entered the house, they sniffled at the same time, "Eight treasure chickens!" ”

"Roast duck!"

Jia Min got up and waved at the two of them and smiled: "Go wash your hands and eat, it's not good when it's cold." ”

"Okay." The two screamed happily, and ran to the east side in a panic, where are there still two by two facing Emperor Qixiang's old-fashioned appearance, just like two gluttonous cats, they washed their hands excitedly, stood at the table, and waited for Jia Min to take a seat, took the lead in picking up chopsticks and put a piece of fish meat into their bowls, and the two began to grab it.

Jia Min looked at the two of them with a smile, and from time to time put some green vegetables into two small bowls. Both of these boys are carnivores, and they don't like to eat vegetables. There is no way, Jia Min can only give the two of them more coercion when they eat at the same table, and then stipulate that for every three pieces of meat, they must eat a mouthful of food.

Lin Rui and Xiao Chenchun have been used to being managed by Jia Min since they were children, and they never dare to discount her words, even if every time they eat green vegetables, they are almost like swallowing medicine. It will also be swallowed with a straight neck.

After lunch, watch the two of them wash up. Jia Min smiled and asked, "Say, what's the trouble again?" "Otherwise, with Emperor Qixiang's liking for the two of them. I won't let them come to the main courtyard for lunch.

Lin Rui showed a particularly pure smile, "Ah Niang......"

Xiao Chen also followed the flattery and said, "Auntie......"

Jia Min poked their fingers on the head, "Put away all your clever ideas, do you really think others can't see through it?" It's just to look at you as small and don't care about you. Moreover, if a man stands in the world and behaves openly and honestly, he will one day hurt others. Eat the consequences! ”

Lin Rui and Xiao Chen stood solemnly at the same time, "Auntie, my son is wrong." "Auntie, I was wrong."

Jia Min said solemnly: "If you know that you are wrong, you must keep it in mind." ”

"Yes."

"So what are you going to do now?"

"Apologize."

"Alright, let's go." Jia Min smiled and waved. They are all smart kids, and they can understand a little. Now, she can't teach the two more academically, and she has her own professional teacher to worry about. can get her attention. It's the temperament of the two. Looking at them, not letting them go down the wrong path, and always having a bright and upward heart, this is what a mother should do.

Jia Min didn't know if his teaching was right. Some people say that if you want to mix in the court, you can't get the sun's rays, especially high-ranking officials. These twists and turns in the officialdom. It is necessary to teach the children as early as possible, so as not to suffer losses in the future. But Jia Min thinks. Lin Rui and Xiao Chen are only seven years old, and it is time to establish a correct concept of life. You still have to learn to be tall.

In the evening, Lin Ruhai came back, Lin Rui was reading a book, as soon as he saw him, he got up and saluted, Lin Ruhai chatted with his son for a few words, touched his head, and said gently: "It's not early, Rui'er go back to sleep, don't read any more books before going to bed." ”

"Yes." Lin Rui said very well-behaved, and then turned around and went out.

Jia Min carefully noticed that there was a trace of tiredness between Lin Ruhai's eyebrows, and hurriedly pulled him to sit down, and called for hot water to soak his feet.

Lin Ruhai waved away the subordinates in the house, shook Jia Min's hand, and lowered his voice: "The sage has finally decided to make the crown prince." ”

Jia Min was shocked, in the past three years, for the sake of the crown prince, Emperor Qixiang has played all his sons, and there are seventy percent of the bad ones. Three years ago, it was rumored that Emperor Qixiang wanted to make Concubine Xian the queen and King Qi the crown prince. When the rumors reached their peak, someone suddenly came out to denounce them, saying that the two male favorites who murdered Princess Qingyang were sent by King Qi.

Subsequently, the daughter of Princess Qingyang, who was raised in the palace, fell ill and died. Some palace people came out to denounce, saying that Concubine Xian sent someone to do it, and the purpose was to completely kill Concubine De and King Lu.

This is just a fuse, and after that, it was constantly found out that the bad deeds of King Lu and King Qi, and even King Ning, even the mothers of the three were not spared, not that this one had killed the palace maid, or that the low-level palace concubine had a miscarriage. In addition, the uncles and wives of the three kings were all implicated, and the entire court was vibrated for a while.

Emperor Qixiang was so angry that he fell seriously ill and did not go to court for three months. After March, all rumors and incidents had fallen into a trough, and he immediately killed his younger brother King Zhongyi by thunder, and seized the title, and King Zhongyi was kicked out of the clan and demoted to a concubine.

At that time, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai were quite skeptical, was it really King Zhongyi who did it? He has the advantage of doing this, and he can't be the emperor himself? However, the emperor has already decided the case, so he can only live like this.

In the following two years, the ministers of the court and the central government kept making suggestions, asking Emperor Qixiang to set up a prince as soon as possible to consolidate the country. But Emperor Qixiang suppressed it, but he didn't respond. still tested his son with a strange yin and yang spirit, and played with the princes in the palm of his hand. According to Jia Min, even Xiao Jin, who has the best temper, is about to make his father perverted, not to mention others.

Now, this old man suddenly said that he was going to make a prince? Everyone won't believe it, they just think that this is another way for you to hit your son.

"Is he sincere this time?" Jia Min said sarcastically.

Lin Ruhai nodded solemnly: "Yes." ”

"How do you know?"

"He told the teacher."

Jia Min had a headache, Emperor Qixiang, an old man, could even say such things as a prince in their home, is this kind of trust a blessing or a curse?

Lin Ruhai was very entangled, "You say, should I tell Shen Yisheng?" ”

Jia Min immediately shook his head: "No, who knows if he is true or false this time!" Let's just don't know, let him toss it. ”

"That ...... of caution" Lin Ruhai and Xiao Jin have been together for a long time. He understands it deeply, and he can see it. Xiao Jin was tortured by his father and was about to collapse.

In essence, Xiao Jin is a gentle and generous gentleman. He is also really filial to his father. According to Xiao Jin's meaning, if you don't want to make me the prince, I will honestly go to my days of ups and downs. But there is no Emperor Qixiang like this, give a sweet date for a while, and give a slap for a while, which makes people have hope, and they may be beaten into the abyss at any time! In this way, no matter how filial a person is, he is tossed left and right by his father. It is impossible not to hold grudges. Especially his mother is still burdened by him from time to time and has been punished so many times.

Lin Ruhai also discussed with Jia Min in private, what did the old man of Emperor Qixiang think?

Jia Min rolled her eyes and gave a special answer: menopausal syndrome.

Lin Ruhai: ......

In short, such a yin and yang weird old man, who changes his orders day and night, is no longer within the trust of everyone.

"Lord Ning has been very low-key recently, don't tell him." Jia Min thinks it's better to deal with this kind of old man honestly.

Lin Ruhai struggled all night. I still think that if you listen to his wife, don't send a letter to Xiao Jin first.

As it turned out, he was right to do so. The old emperor not only revealed the news in Lin Ruhai's house, but even talked to other people! Of course. The meaning is similar, but the choice of the prince is different. Lin Ruhai is here, of course, Ning Wang Xiao Jin. Then the kings of Lu and Qi were also mentioned.

The matter of establishing the prince has been excerpted on the imperial history platform. After being promised by Emperor Qixiang, excerpts recommending the prince from all walks of life filled Emperor Qixiang's table.

Emperor Qixiang twisted his beard and looked at it. It was found that the king of Lu and the king of Qi accounted for more than three-quarters, and the king of Ning Xiao Jin also had it, but there were very few.

Wang Lu, who replaced Liu Changgui, the great eunuch beside Emperor Qixiang, knelt on the ground with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, "Master Lin's work and rest are as usual, there is no abnormality, and he has no contact with His Royal Highness King Ning in recent days." ”

"Hehe...... Emperor Qixiang chuckled, "This Lin Hai is really interesting, so much so that he knows how to be loyal." "In the past few years, there have been several ministers who have blue eyes, and Lin Ruhai is not the most prominent one, nor is he the most trusted one. But I didn't expect that today, only he didn't confide in half a sentence.

The matter of the neutral prince of the DPRK was noisy, but the Lin family and the husband and wife were still living at their own pace. It was Jia's mother who sent someone to invite Jia Min to come to the house, Jia Yu and Jia Zheng both went to the house at the same time, and Lin Ruhai had a secret talk, which did not affect the lives of the two.

King Lu and King Qi were evenly matched, and when he saw that the scene three years ago was about to appear again, Emperor Qixiang moved, and he issued an edict after the book, and the person who made the book was actually a concubine! For a time, there was an uproar.

Shoufu Lu Shiming sat opposite the teacher Yuan Chen, and said respectfully: "Sir, how are you doing lately?" ”

Old man Yuan smiled with a red face: "Do you think I don't look good!" ”

"Hehe, sir's health is a blessing for students all over the world."

"Don't pat yourself on the back, talk about something!" Old man Yuan said impatiently. Ever since he became the first assistant as a disciple, he likes to talk in circles, and sometimes he can't talk about serious things for half an hour, which is a waste of his time.

Lu Shiming smiled slightly, "I'm here to visit Mr. today." ”

"I'm done." Old man Yuan lay down directly on the couch, closed his eyes, and waved his hand to drive people away: "After reading it, I will leave." ”

Lu Shiming got up seriously, and after taking a deep look, he slowly retreated.

After Old Man Yuan heard the knock on the door, he sighed, "It's old." ”

Lu Shiming looked back at the study, if King Ning was the prince again, the name of the teacher would be even louder. Then, I thought of the youngest junior brother, and I don't know if he was born with a good spirit, or if he was lucky, he found the pulse of the saint, and made friends with the next prince, I am afraid that it will be terrible in the future. Thinking that Emperor Qixiang discussed with him, wanted to transfer Lin Ruhai to Yushitai, and then inspect Jiangnan, Lu Shiming knew that Emperor Qixiang wanted to train him well, maybe in another twenty years, he would be the next cabinet chief.

"What do you say? Let you be the imperial history? Jia Min's eyes widened and she looked at her husband in disbelief. But I was thinking in my heart, Emperor Qixiang's old man was so confused that he actually let his husband be the imperial history.

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly: "I have resigned a few times, and he said that if I am lazy again, let me go to be the prefect!" ”

Jia Min was silent for a long time: "That's still the imperial history!" "At least you just need to scold people, you don't have to be a parent official and take care of so many things! (To be continued......)
