Rongguo Mansion, antechamber.

In the study, Jia Yu and Jia Zheng looked at Lin Ruhai who came out of the palace with a smile on their faces, and greeted each other.

Jia Yu stroked his chin and long beard, and said slowly: "Ruhai, I haven't seen you for many years, you have lost a lot, how did you become like this?" ”

Jia Zheng also lamented that Lin Ruhai was so gorgeous back then, although it was the name of Tanhua, the limelight was more prosperous than the champion and the leader.

If it weren't for this, Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo, would not have been happy with his son-in-law, and he would have made a sensation in Shenjing City.

Looking at Lin Ruhai, who is now gray-haired and skinny, Jia Zheng's eyes are red.

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Brother Enhou, Brother Cunzhou, the two brothers-in-law are still prosperous, and the younger brother is not as good as more." ”

He thanked him again: "The little girl has been in Beijing for several years, and the two brothers-in-law love each other like daughters, and the younger brother is thanking her." ”

After saying that, he was about to bow on crutches to salute, Jia Yu and Jia Zheng stopped together, and scolded him unhappily: "My dear flesh and blood, why do you need to be like this? ”

After giving up his seat, looking at the study, Lin Ruhai sighed: "It was here that my father-in-law talked to me back then, and he was very concerned about his teachings and loving heart, and he didn't dare or forgot a bit. Hateful as the sea is incompetent, I can't honor Mount Tai in front of the sickbed, and I can't protect my wife and children by my side, I have been doing nothing for 13 years, in the end, if it weren't for the old lady to send Lian'er and Qiang'er to send the little girl south, even my own body would be difficult to preserve. Hate it, be ashamed of it. ”

"Hey, Ruhai, you are too humble, you sit in Jiangnan for the imperial court, supervise the salt government for thirteen years, have made great contributions to the country, and have won the trust of the Son of Heaven, how can you say that you have done nothing? It's for my brother and others, but I just rely on the shadow of my ancestors and live in chaos. ”

Jia Zheng didn't agree with Lin Ruhai's sigh, and hurriedly shook his head.

The words of the two made Jia Yu uncomfortable, and he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "People like us, why bother to learn from those poor mud legs, the same as bitter haha, if you get an official, you will work hard, counting on the glorious lintel." Like the sea, for my brother, I advise you to take care of your body and bones. What are you anxious about being an official, just there, and you can't run? ”

Earlier, Lin Ruhai heard that Jia Qiang kept instilling a litter of waste in the Jia family with him, and he still didn't believe it.

You must know that Jia Yu was able to inherit the knighthood back then, and he was also sealed.

He was skilled in arching and shooting, and he could shoot fifteen arrows on horseback, and he could hit at least twelve arrows.

Who would have thought that it would degenerate into such a state.

Thinking about Jia Lian's style in Yangzhou, although he didn't say it explicitly, Lin Ruhai already knew it in his heart.

He smiled and bowed his head, but didn't say much, and said, "I don't know if my mother-in-law is free, I still have to go to see her and thank her for her great kindness." ”

Seeing that he stood up and was about to go to see Jia's mother, Jia Yu and Jia Zheng stood up together.

Jia Yu wanted to go together, but he didn't want to meet Jia Qiang, who repeatedly made him unable to get off the stage, so he only said: "If you go to see each other like the sea, I will be the host at night to catch the wind and wash the dust for you." ”

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly: "It's not that the younger brother refuses the host of the eldest brother, now most of my three meals a day are medicine, and the meat is not touched at all, and the food must be avoided everywhere, and the things that can enter the stomach are just two or three." It's better to wait for this half-crippled body to recover better, otherwise it will spoil the delicacies of the eldest brother! ”

When Jia Yu heard this, he looked at Lin Ruhai's body and bones again, shook his head helplessly and sighed: "That's it." ”

Jia Zheng finally waited for Jia to finish his ramblings, and then invited Lin Ruhai to Rongqing Hall.

Along the way, to Jia's mother's house, walking through the verandah through the mountain, I saw a large red sandalwood interstitial standing in the courtyard.

Lin Ruhai Xu was really old, so he stood under the porch, pointed to the big interlude and said: "I was here back then, Lord Yuezhang taught me to speak, since I take the road of civil officials, then at any time, don't forget the word Fenggu." Learn the righteousness of the pine, and the wind and bones of the bamboo and plum. Although Yuezhang is a martial artist and has great military achievements, he is also a Confucian general, elegant and elegant, and I deeply admire him. "Being able to deliberately suppress the founding heroes of the country, the rise of the Yuanping lords and fierce generals, immediately honored, inherited the national throne, Jia Daishan's demeanor back then, really made Lin Ruhai admire!

Jia Zheng's eyes also reddened again, and said, "Father...... The wind bones, politics, and often read it. Like the sea, I never thought that you would miss the old ...... so much"

Lin Ruhai shook his head and smiled: "Thank you brother in law for taking care of the little girl." Yu'er told me when she went home, not to mention the old lady, the second uncle and second aunt also regarded her as a daughter, and loved her very much, and sometimes even walked past Baoyu to ......"

Jia Zheng waved his hand and said: "Hey, don't mention these again, I'm the eldest girl's maternal uncle, how can I not love it?" As for Baoyu, he is also giving ...... everywhere."

I didn't want him to finish his sentence, but I heard a faint cry from inside......

Jia Zheng's face sank, and he didn't look at the maid and daughter-in-law standing under the corridor, and walked into the hugging building with Lin Ruhai......

……

On the Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu hugged Baoyu and said: "This evil obstacle, you are angry, it is easy to beat and scold people, why bother to drop that life!" ”

Baoyu cried: "What kind of stuff, there are no sisters and sisters in the family, Sister Lin said, she saw a person who was exactly the same as me in Zhen's house in Jiangnan, also called Baoyu, people are Zhen Baoyu and don't have a piece of jade, I, Jia Baoyu, have a piece of jade." It can be seen that this Rausch is not a good thing, so it is better to smash it. ”

Jia's mother coaxed: "Your sister is just laughing with you, she just came back, deliberately teasing you, biasing your cautious eyes, and making people laugh." Is there any two people in this world who are exactly the same? Where is there any Zhen Baoyu? You are the real Baoyu! ”

When Baoyu heard this, she smiled embarrassedly, and looked back at Daiyu, but she was stunned......

This Sister Lin, why didn't you shed tears for me?

The reason why he fell into the jade was not only that he found that he was inferior to Jia Qiang in Daiyu's mouth, but more importantly, he found that Daiyu actually cried like that for Jia Qiang.

Sister Lin's tears, shouldn't they just be shed for him......

But before he could think about it, the whole person suddenly stiffened, and the cold sweat on his forehead came out at once, and his face was pale.

Then I heard the most frightening sentence in my life:

"Come on, please family law, take a stick!"

……

After a long hustle and bustle, Jia's mother protected Baoyu by her side and did not allow Jia Zheng to do anything.

After Lin Ruhai saw the real chapter, he also persuaded Jia Zheng.

Under the support of Jia Qiang, he greeted Jia's mother, and received the gifts of the younger generations.

In the end, Daiyu also stepped down from the high platform and stood behind Lin Ruhai with Jia Qiang.

Seeing this scene, many well-intentioned people in the Jia family were a little sideways.

Baoyu was even more upset, and only felt a little dizzy......

However, because Jia Zheng was there, he never dared to raise his head and speak.

Mother Jia didn't think much about it, but said angrily: "It can be seen that with Lao Tzu, my grandmother is also standing aside." ”

Daiyu hurriedly smiled and said, "How dare you do this? It's just that my father went to the palace early today to face the saint, and I didn't take any medicine for a day, so I couldn't rest assured, so I came over to support some. After a while, I persuaded my father to go back to take medicine earlier, and not to escape under the pretext. ”

Jia Zheng said with a smile: "This is a piece of filial piety of my nephew, it can be seen that it is much stronger than Baoyu's beast." ”

Lin Ruhai shook his head and smiled: "Baoyu is still young, Brother Cun Zhou doesn't need to be too harsh." Moreover, Yu'er once told me that Baoyu is the most filial to the old lady. Let's look at it when I grow up...... Qiang'er was also originally a gentleman, but she has only grown up in the past two years. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Jia Qiang, who was standing quietly behind Lin Ruhai, and her eyes became a little complicated.

Jia Muqi said: "How can you accept him as a disciple?" The seniority is also a little worse. ”

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Although he is also a child of the same clan of the Jia clan, in terms of blood relatives, he has already gone out of the five suits, and he is even farther away from me." I saw that his heart to learn was firm, and he was so busy in Yangzhou Mansion, but even during the New Year, he did not dare to slack off in reading and studying literature for a day. Moreover, I am not in good health, and I have benefited a lot from him in many things that are on the face of officials. Therefore, it is better to be included in the door as early as possible. ”

Jia Mu smiled unnaturally, pointed at Baoyu and said: "How is it good to accept him, Baoyu grew up with Yu'er, it is better to accept Baoyu as a disciple and teach well." Brother Qiang is a registered disciple, and Baoyu, an uncle, should be an official introductory disciple. ”

Lin Ruhai smiled and said nothing, and before he could answer, Jia Zheng shook his head again and again and disagreed: "Mother, don't open such a mouth, stop quickly." Besides, even I will follow that beast to die in shame, and I will have no face to see anyone. Brother Qiang doesn't say how to learn, just with that diligent and studious heart, how can Baoyu, a beast, be able to reach it? I don't believe you ask him, since he entered the lunar month last year, has he ever touched the book of the sages? ”

Mrs. Wang's face was extremely ugly, both sad and angry at what Jia Zheng said, and unhappy for Lin Ruhai to agree unhappily.

When Jia Mu heard this, she was annoyed and said, "I didn't learn it at that time, can't I learn it in the future?" In the future, follow your sister-in-law to work hard, and sooner or later you will be able to take the Tanhualang exam. ”

Jia Zhengsheng smiled angrily: "Mother, you ask him, if he is willing to get up early every day to read, and practice ten big characters at night." If he is willing to use this hard work, he will first go to Mengpo Zhai to study for three months, and then I will personally send him to my sister-in-law's house and let him apprentice. ”

Mother Jia caught a glimpse of Baoyu's head almost hanging to her chest, and she didn't dare to make up her mind to study hard in the future, so she sighed in her heart and argued for him: "Baoyu's body is so weak, and she only looks good from the outside, how can she endure this hardship?" No matter how good the brother is, it will make you boil down. It's better to read for an hour a day and slowly go to school. ”

Jia Zheng waved his hand and said: "Then Hugh Ti will go to my sister-in-law's side to study, and I will be embarrassed to leave it at home, so as not to affect my sister-in-law's reputation." ”

Jia Mu said angrily: "How much stronger is Brother Qiang than Baoyu? ”

She didn't believe that Jia Qiang could endure this hardship.

After Jia Qiang made a big fuss in Rongqing Hall, she heard about Jia Qiang's style from everywhere, just like Brother Rong of Dongfu, but he was just a stubborn and stubborn child, not as good as Baoyu.

She didn't believe that in just half a year, Jia Qiang could grow much.

But I didn't want to, as soon as these words came out, Baoyu's head hung lower, and the faces of the sisters of the Jia family became strange.

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Qiang'er, her material may not be outstanding, and her ambition is very strong." Yu'er, read the two poems written by Qiang'er to your grandmother. ”

Hearing this, Daiyu glanced at Jia Qiang lightly, and then recited softly to Rongqing Hall:

"The mountains block the rocks, and the river flows eastward after all."

"The snow is pressed by the frost, and the plum blossoms are still blooming towards the sun."

Jia Mu: "......"

Mrs. Wang: "......"

is the uneducated Sister Feng, after hearing these two poems, they all looked sideways at Jia Qiang.

Sounds like a boost of ambition!

Mother Jia looked at the expressions on the faces of the sisters, and she had already vaguely guessed the reason why Baoyu had just fallen into the jade......

After sighing in her heart, she said lightly: "If you want me to say, your disciple is also in vain." Brother Qiang is about to inherit the title, Ning Guofu is such a big family business, is it not enough for him to be busy? After attacking the knight, if you want to be an official, you naturally have an official to do it. By the way, you still have to teach him a lesson for me, as a child of the Jia family, the decent great-grandson of Ning Lao Guogong, he can actually say such bastard words as unwilling to accept the lord. Don't say that this is a great good thing, even if it is not a good thing, he can not be on it?

I have always ignored outside things, and I rarely listen to those things, but to this day, I still remember what your father-in-law once taught the eldest master when he was alive: Our martial arts generals have always been brothers and brothers wearing armor, and fathers and sons going out to fight. Because the eldest lord didn't dare to take your father-in-law's class and didn't want to go to the bitter cold frontier to defend the frontier, he was sent to another courtyard by the old man in anger......

Don't mention these things, didn't you say that Brother Qiang is ambitious? Then I'm surprised, he doesn't even shirk his duty and is unwilling to take responsibility, where is his ambition? Could it be that he saw that you, a gentleman, were going to be promoted and slaughtered for the official after returning to Beijing, so he gave up the danger at home and went to you to climb the future? ”

After all, after being a duchess all her life, when she really wants to force a junior to do things, who dares to say that she is an old fool?

Such vicious words, who can say such a stupid woman......
