Ten days later.

Lin Ruhai's small study, Shi'an Hall.

When it was past the ugly time, Jia Qiang finished memorizing the book, and took the calligraphy of "Yan Qinli Tablet" and "Duobao Pagoda Tablet" to practice calligraphy.

This is his daily essential homework, before coming to this world, he was an engineering dog, how could he have the leisure to write calligraphy?

Even if he has the memory of his predecessor, he has a gentleman in his predecessor, and he can't even talk about what he writes with one hand.

In this era, words are like people's faces, and they cannot be bad at all.

When the imperial examination is over, if the words are not good, basically there is no hope for a showman.

Therefore, Jia Qiang will take out an hour every day to write big characters diligently.

The butter wax illuminates the surroundings of the desk, and it turns out that there is no electricity, as long as you are familiar with it, it is not difficult to endure.

Jia Qiang is engrossed in writing every stroke, writing calligraphy requires talent, but writing does not need to.

If you want to write neatly and pleasing to the eye, you just need to work hard and practice hard.

Jia Qiang didn't know if she had a talent for calligraphy, and she didn't want to become a calligrapher, so she only immersed herself in hard work.

In the quiet of the night, the sound of the pen brushing the paper can be heard.

From time to time, a mosquito flew outside the fine screen window, but it was scented away by the insect repellent aroma, and landed on the edge of the pond, and a goldfish jumped out of the water, swallowed it, and made a splash.

In the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, where there is a pond, there must be a school of fish, in addition to ornamental use, there is a greater use, that is, to eat mosquitoes and ant eggs.

If there are no fish, the pond will become a source of mosquito breeding and will not be inhabitable......

But Jia Qiang didn't notice all this.

He wrote intently with every stroke, every stroke.

It wasn't until a large piece of paper was filled that he stopped writing, looked at it for a while, and put it aside, ready to write another one, but suddenly realized that something was wrong, looked up, his eyes shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly stood up and said, "Grandpa?" Why are you here......"

Lin Ruhai was wearing a Confucian shirt, standing beside the sandalwood case with a kind face, and beside him, there was a young woman who looked no more than twenty-five or sixteen supporting her.

This woman is wearing a dark moire soft smoke skirt, with a light apricot water pattern jade hairpin on her head, with a typical Jiangnan woman's gentle and demure beauty, her eyes are like water, and Jia Qiang bows slightly.

Lin Ruhai pointed at her, and suddenly frowned with a headache: "Your Aunt Lin called her aunt...... However, you are too far away from her, so you don't have to force respect, count the seniority, and then call Aunt Mei. ”

If Jia Min is alive, of course Jia Qiang will pay tribute to her aunt and grandmother.

But Lin Ruhai's concubine is too far away from Jia Qiang, and she can't be called an aunt and grandmother.

So just as a living person, I salute "auntie".

"Auntie" is, of course, an honorific title, just like "Mrs."

At least, it's much higher than the maid......

After Jia Qiang saluted Lin Ruhai's words for a while, she persuaded: "Grandparents, it's late at night, and Granduncle is not yet well, so it's better to recuperate." ”

Lin Ruhai smiled when he heard this, pointed to the paper on the large case, and said: "It's strange that your aunt said that you have a bit of talent and discipline in writing, just with your focused appearance, you didn't even notice the sound of us pushing the door in front of the approach, and in the long run, we will definitely be able to achieve something." ”

Jia Qiang hurriedly smiled humbly: "My uncle is too famous, I have only been practicing calligraphy for two or three months, and I have wasted too much time in the past, and now I just add a little to make up for it." ”

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said: "Writing and writing are the same, and they also pay attention to talent." Whether you can write a famous hall and whether you can solve a good problem, in addition to hard work, it all depends on whether you can get started with the real rhyme. Your aunt said that you have such a talent, and now it seems to me that it is indeed good. What do you see? ”

The last word is to ask the woman beside her.

When Aunt Mei heard this, she picked up the paper full of big characters written by Jia Qiang on the big case, looked at it for a while, and nodded: "It can be seen that there is worry between the words, but there is no tendency to decline, and the pen is gradually sharpened, and the edge is long-lasting." Yes, looking at people by words, it shows the fortitude. ”

The sound is like the sound of smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Oh?"

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "I have been writing for decades, and your evaluation is actually the same as that of Brother Qiang'er who has been writing seriously for a few months?" ”

Aunt Mei smiled lightly: "The master is a talent for exploring flowers, but he is not good at calligraphy." ”

Lin Ruhai said to Jia Qiang, who was puzzled: "Your Aunt Mei grew up in her uncle's house since she was a child, and her uncle is a world-famous calligrapher, Mr. Fu Weng. When Mr. Fu Weng was alive, your Aunt Mei washed the pen for him and practiced a good eyesight. It's a pity that after Mr. Fu Weng passed away, the Mei family only had one grandchild to study calligraphy, and it was not very successful, and the rest went to drill how to sell salt......"

Xu is face changed suddenly when he saw Jia Qiang hearing the words "selling salt", and even looked at Lin Ruhai's eyes subtlely.

Who is Lin Ruhai, although such changes are subtle, how can he escape his careful observation?

He lightly leaned on the bamboo cane and said with a smile: "You, as your aunt said, have a sharp mind. I have been friends with Mr. Fu Weng for many years, but we have never had any interests. Before he died, he entrusted your Aunt Mei to me, that's all. Otherwise, I can still accept bribes from the Mei family? ”

Jia Qiang was embarrassed in his heart, he had seen too many dark and constantly reversing things on the Internet in his previous life, and he had watched it for more than ten years, so when he encountered something, he always liked to think about the dark side, he bowed down and admitted his mistake: "Grandpa, I am thinking nonsense." ”

Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said, "I've heard something about you, and I don't blame you." It's just that in the future, remember to raise the spirit of a gentleman, and you might as well be more open-minded...... Well, without mentioning these words, the night is already late, and you can't stay up for a long time when everyone in your room is sleeping outside. I came with your Aunt Mei tonight to see if you really practiced calligraphy, and secondly, to see if you really had a talent for calligraphy as your aunt boasted. Third, I still have a personal matter that I want to bother you to go. ”

Hearing this, Jia Qiang hurriedly said: "My uncle has something to say, even if he is instructed, how dare he call the word 'tired'?" ”

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Your Aunt Mei's uncle and grandmother are going to celebrate their seventieth birthday in Meiyuan the day after tomorrow, so they sent an invitation." The reason is that my body is not good, so your Aunt Mei put away the invitation and didn't say anything. Now that I'm better, she doesn't have to be confined to home. But she was the only one who went, and it looked a little thinner. The Mei family has never asked me to do anything over the years, and now that the salt affairs have been handed over, I am about to leave Yangzhou Mansion, so I might as well go back and forth. I can't move, and your Aunt Lin hasn't seen a foreigner yet...... I wanted your second uncle Lian to take a trip, but he couldn't compare to your stability, and he didn't come back to live in Yangzhou for more than half of his time. So, I just want you to go for me, how about it? ”

Jia Qiang smiled bitterly: "Grandmaster, this kind of thing was originally obligatory. Don't say that running errands once, even running errands ten times is a trivial matter. It's just my generation...... Not everyone is like my aunt and grandfather, all the etiquette and laws are in their hearts, they act according to their hearts and do not exceed the rules, and they do not bully others by their seniority. In my seniority, when I enter the plum garden, what should I do? ”

Lin Ruhai smiled when he heard this: "That's what you said...... In that case, you should go as a member of my wife's clan and my registered disciple. Your Aunt Mei will explain to the Mei family that although I praise your talent, but your body and bones are not good, and you can't teach well, so I only remember one. ”

The so-called named disciples are just a false name.

But Jia Qiang was shocked when she heard this!

Before, when he asked Tietou 800 miles to rush south to save Lin Ruhai, he didn't think that he could get anything in return, on the contrary, he was to repay Daiyu's life-saving grace and gifts!

But obviously, Lin Ruhai did not lightly wipe this festival, and after silently inspecting him for ten days, he gave his thanks tonight.

With the lintel and ancestral shade of the fourth prince of the Lin family, with his identity as Tanhualang, and his son of heaven who has been in the south of the Yangtze River for more than ten years, first lost his only son and then died of his wife, it is a great merit and hard work that even his own life almost did not survive, with such an identity, accepting Jia Qiang as a registered disciple of the door, this weight is so heavy!

It is enough for him to block the attack and annihilation from Shilin Qingliu and even Emperor Long'an in the future!!

For the sake of Lin Ruhai's face, even Emperor Long An couldn't kill him completely......

The weight of this grace made Jia Qiang, who often had the heart of ice and stone, extremely moved, her eyes were red, and she choked up.

Seeing Jia Qiang kowtowing on the ground, unable to even call a few times, Lin Ruhai said helplessly: "You kid, why don't you let me help you personally?" ”

Jia Qiang reined in her mood and stood up.

Aunt Mei on the side looked at Jia Qiang's handsome face, and sighed with regret in her heart:

It's a pity that he is inferior in rank, otherwise it would be a match made in heaven for such a young man to be the uncle of the Lin family.

Jia Qiang does not have parents in the high hall, and the Lin family happens to be the most short of men.

It's a pity......

Although Lin Ruhai also felt a little regretful in his heart, he was only sorry.

He helped Jia Qiang for three reasons.

First, Daiyu told Jia Qiang all about helping her, and his life was saved by Jia Qiang, and he had to repay it.

Second, Daiyu was kind-hearted and did not tell her about saving Jia Qiang and his party in Jinmen.

Perhaps in her opinion, she is just doing things to help others, but in her heart she is grateful for others helping her.

Third, Jia Qiangzhi is not in the official career.

After all, Lin Ruhai is a long-time eunuch, how can he not know the dangers of the eunuch sea?

Especially when he heard about Jia Qiang's encounter with the holy driver in the Drunken Immortal Tower, he knew that the capital was the time when the turbulent waves hit the stones.

Even if the Emperor Taishang Dragon returns to the sky, as long as the old ministers of Jingchu are still in power in the court, the danger in the court will only increase day by day, and even he may not be able to protect himself......

Therefore, Jia Qiang's failure to enter the official career may not be all bad things, but it will be able to live a safe life.

Looking at his attitude towards Daiyu over the past few days, although he has been arguing from time to time, in general, Jia Qiang still takes good care of this aunt.

Lin Ruhai's current arrangement is precisely to show kindness, and when he is really no longer in the future, Jia Qiang can still take care of Daiyu as in front of him.

Although Daiyu may not be able to use it, after all, there is still Daiyu's grandmother and maternal uncle in the capital......

But seeing Jia Lian's performance these days, Lin Ruhai vaguely thought that outsiders might not be reliable.

"Okay, don't be a child. You're different from those of the same age, you're an adult. Go and rest early, my bones will be burned. Since you have no intention of pursuing a career, you don't need to rush it. Protect your body, in case your Aunt Lin still needs your help in the future, help her send me back to my hometown, and it will not be possible to burn my body and bones. ”

When Jia Qiang heard this, she said categorically: "Grandpa don't worry, I now get up early every day to work hard, even if it is another hundred years, I can still serve tea and medicine with Aunt Lin by your side, and serve you to enjoy your old age in peace!" But my uncle is now in the prime of life, and it's too early to say this! ”

"Hahaha!"

Lin Ruhai laughed happily when he heard this, but he still sighed regretfully in his heart: The Lin family rarely has a long life.

What's more, he has exhausted his hard work and energy over the years, and he is seriously ill this year, but he doesn't know how many years he can last......

On the canal, a passenger ship full of travelers slowly headed south.
