In the middle of winter, the scenery of the northern country is cold and windy.

Jia Qing stood on the wharf in the west of the city, facing the cold wind, looking into the distance.

Today is the day when Lin Ruhai entered Beijing.

The wharf is connected to the avenue of the capital, and an old road and a Taoist boy slowly walked over. Jia Qing listened to the report of his subordinates, looked back, and then walked over.

"The younger generation has seen Chen Daochang, how did Chen Daochang come here on such a cold day?"

It was Chen Shou and his Taoist boy who came.

Chen Shou was not surprised that Jia Qing was here, he smiled and said: "Why is Jia Linlang here, why is Lao Dao here." ”

Jia Qing smiled, he already knew that Chen Shou and Lin Ruhai had a good relationship, and it seemed that this good thing would have to rise to a higher level.

"The dock is cold, why don't you follow me into the pavilion and drink a cup of hot tea to warm up?"

Chen Shou did not refuse, and followed Jia Qing into the pavilion. Inside, a pot of tea has been brewed.

Jia Qing personally poured a cup of tea for Chen Shou, and said: "I heard that the Taoist chief is a real person in Youfang, and the fairy trail is ethereal, it is rare to return to the capital once, I don't know how long I am going to stay?" The younger generation wanted to do more of the friendship of the landlord, but they didn't know the long itinerary, so they didn't dare to be abrupt. ”

Chen Shou glanced at Jia Qing with a smile, and wondered why this kid was suddenly so enthusiastic about me after only two months.

"The cultivators of my generation have made the four seas their home, and they have no fixed place to go. Originally, I was already preparing to leave Beijing for southern Xinjiang, but I heard that Ruhai was also coming to Beijing and wanted to meet him in person to say goodbye, so I didn't have time to go. ”

Jia Qing was a little regretful, some time ago he asked people to pay attention to the news of Chen Shou, the more he knew, the more he felt that this Chen Shou was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. He also thought that if he didn't have any plans for this thing, he would fool him to Ning Guofu and become a staff officer or something......

Because this product is obviously intellectual, and the smiling eyes reveal hypocrisy......

Now there are a lot of people around him who are doing things, and there are only a few kobold military divisions missing, and he is planning to start recruiting.

The premeditated plan could not be implemented, and Jia Qing did not show it on his face, still smiling and talking to Chen Shou while eating tea. If you get married, you may have a chance in the future.

On the rolling river, a white spot suddenly appeared, and then the mist on the river surface was broken, and a building boat gradually appeared in the eyes of everyone.

"Second master, it's Aunt Lin's ship!"

Jia Qing nodded, walked out of the pavilion, and stood on the stone steps of the berth to greet him.

Lin Ruhai walked out of the room, stood on the deck and looked at the gradually clear riverbank, silent for a long time.

The woman beside him said, "I'm afraid my lord hasn't been to the capital for almost ten years, right?" ”

She saw Lin Ruhai sigh with emotion, and said subconsciously.

Lin Ruhai shook his head: "In the past, I would go to Beijing every year to report on my work, just for the sake of speed, I took the dry road, and I came and went in a hurry. Speaking of which, I really haven't seen this dock in the capital for eight or nine years. ”

The woman smiled brightly.

"Master, it's Qing'er standing on it, right?"

The woman's eyes were good, and far away she saw a young figure, standing on the top of the stairs in a loose robe, hunched over.

Lin Ruhai took a closer look, and couldn't help but smile on his face, and said, "Exactly." This kid, on such a cold day, is not afraid of hurting when he stands there against the wind! ”

The concern between the words was clearly visible to the woman. She knew that Lin Ruhai had no children in his life, and this righteous son, who was only accepted in his old age, was afraid that in his heart, he was not bad with a real son.

She didn't know that Lin Ruhai had already handed over nearly half of the Lin family's property to Jia Qing. If she knew, I don't know if she could be so indifferent in her heart.

She is Lin Ruhai's Mrs. Ru.

Although Lin Ruhai has several concubines, they all have no position.

In his early years, Lin Ruhai was an official outside and did not bring his family. It was only later that he gained a foothold in Yangzhou and brought Daiyu's mother and daughter to Yangzhou.

Later, Jia Min died, and Lin Ruhai missed his deceased wife, and the two also cared about Daiyu's feelings, so they never planned to continue.

This time I went back to my hometown in Suzhou to recuperate, only to find that a maid who had an "old" relationship with him in the early years had never married, and was silently waiting in the old house. He was moved, so he made her a lady and took care of her.

This time I went to Beijing, and I only brought her a woman.

It can be said that although she is not a master mother in the Lin family now, she has the reality of a master mother.

"The child has seen his father-in-law, and he welcomes his father-in-law back to Beijing."

Lin Ruhai stepped down from the sampan, helped Jia Qing up, and said, "Hurry up and be polite." He introduced to Jia Qing again: "This is your Aunt Zhong." ”

Jia Qing bowed to the woman ninety degrees: "The child has seen his aunt." ”

"Good boy, get up. What a filial child......"

Aunt Zhong looked at Jia Qing with a scrutinizing face, and saw that he was really as rumored, with a lofty demeanor, and respectful and polite to her, so she felt a little more joy in her heart.

Jia Qing didn't pay attention to her. Lin Ruhai has not continued the strings, since he introduced Aunt Zhong so formally this time, and it is the first time they have met, it is appropriate for him to be more polite.

"Father-in-law, I've already packed up for you next, and I'll let Lai Sheng carry the things and luggage back later. The old man and the aunt went back to the house with the children, and the old lady and Sister Lin are still waiting to see you. ”

Lin Ruhai originally planned to go back and settle down first, but when he heard Jia Qing say that Jia's mother was waiting for him, he stopped talking and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

Jia Qing stepped forward and helped Lin Ruhai to take the steps with his other hand.

"The child has made tea, and this cold heavenly father will sit down and drink a cup first to warm up his body?"

"No, it's important to see the old lady first."

Jia Qing didn't say much.

"Brother Ruhai, long time no see."

"Uncle? Why are you here too? ”

Lin Ruhai saw that Chen Shou was here at first glance, and he was a little surprised.

"If Brother Hai moves his family into Beijing, how can the younger brother not come to greet him in person."

Uncle Changyan was serious...... Now that I am anxious to meet Jiayue, why don't I join the uncle, wait for me to meet Jiayue, and then have a long talk with the uncle? ”

Chen Shou seemed to be quite respectful to Lin Ruhai and said, "Dare not obey orders." ”

"Please."

"Brother Hai, please."

Jia Qing nodded secretly, it seems that he wants to take this old way for his own use, Lin Ruhai can help here......

Entering Ningrong Street, Jia Qing first invited Chen Shou into the house, and then accompanied Lin Ruhai and Aunt Zhong to meet Jia's mother.

Lin Ruhai originally wanted Aunt Zhong to wait in the car, but Jia Qing said: "The ancestor is not a pedantic person, the father-in-law might as well invite the aunt to enter together." ”

Lin Ruhai agreed after a little thought.

He didn't see Aunt Zhong's eyes looking at Jia Qing at that moment. This entry means that Lin Ruhai's side has fully recognized her identity, which is what she cares about the most.

However, after being grateful, she began to get nervous, but she didn't dare to show her face.

For more than ten years, she never thought that she would be able to accompany Lin Ruhai wholeheartedly. I never thought that she could accompany Lin Ruhai to meet the elders as the hostess.

Therefore, even if the other party is that person's mother and the person she is most afraid of seeing, she is not afraid.

"Have you heard, Aunt Lin has entered Beijing, and she is visiting the old lady at this time."

"Cut, we already knew."

"That is, Aunt Lin is Miss Lin's biological father, and the news of his old man's entry into Beijing has long been spread."

"You say, what is this Aunt Lin doing in Beijing? I heard that it was to take Miss Lin back to her hometown. ”

"Hey, if that's the case, won't you be able to look at Miss Lin in the future?"

"Nonsense, if Aunt Lin wants to take Miss Lin home, just send a housekeeper here, why bother to come in person? I heard that he came to the capital to be an official! ”

"Being an official? After that, Miss Lin still can't live in our Jia Mansion? Also, do you think that Aunt Lin will be an official, can she be older than our master? ”

In the back porch of Rongxi Hall in Rongguo Mansion, a group of maids chattered.
