Let's say that Han Chengze was funny and said a few words to Lin Ruhai, and Lin Ruhai took down a small rosewood box from the bookshelf and put it on the table. Han Chengze glanced at Lin Ruhai twice, and just waited for him to say what he was pretending to be. Lin Ruhai seemed to have forgotten about this stubble, sat on the chair at home, sighed faintly for a while, lit the box and asked Han Chengze: "Brother Ze, I think your mother has never told you about my Lin family?" ”

Han Chengze was stunned for a moment, the matter of the Lin family? I have gone through it in my own heart, and my mother has told him a lot of things on weekdays, and sometimes she is willing to say a few words to him even if there are trivial things in the back house, but she has never said anything about the Lin family, so she shook her head and said: "Mother has never said anything about the Lin family, but often says something about my grandparents and uncle, and I can't hear anything." ”

Lin Ruhai smiled indifferently, ordered the little servant to serve tea, and said to Han Chengze: "You don't know, you have it." If I had gone straight on that day, your mother wouldn't have known anything, and you wouldn't have known. It can be seen that this is the will of God. As he spoke, he pushed the wooden box, looked at him and said, "Open it and take a look, if you can see it, my uncle will give it to you as a gift." “

Han Chengze saw that his expression didn't seem to be joking, so he smiled and said: "Uncle is ready to give it to me, it must be very good, just wait for me to take a fancy to it, uncle don't give it to me." Lin Ruhai smiled faintly, and Han Chengze carefully moved the box and opened it slowly.

What catches your eye is a yellowed piece of paper, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dance two lines of cursive, although it is very well preserved, but it can also be seen that it has been some years. Han Chengze was afraid of damaging the paper, so he didn't dare to take it at will, so he only poked his head over to take a closer look, and it turned out that it was written with ten words: "Honghu falls into the new mansion, and the blue bird admires the old forest". Han Chengze blinked, he thought silently in his heart for a long time, and then said to Lin Ruhai: "Uncle, isn't he waiting here to test me?" Now I'm so good that I can't think of the source of these two sentences. ”

Lin Ruhai glanced at him, but he didn't seem to see him, and said in a low voice: "You naturally can't imagine that there is no source for these words, but they are just the words left by my grandfather back then." "Uncle's grandfather? Han Chengze's mind turned slightly, and he knew that it was a very distant history. Just looking at Lin Ruhai's appearance, I didn't know what to think of, so I kept silent, just waiting for him to speak. Lin Ruhai gently pinched and took out the paper from the box, and Han Chengze saw that there was another small brocade box below, painted with gold and color, and the palm-sized box surface was full of many brightly colored birds, which was very different from the one outside. Lin Ruhai lowered his jaw a little and said to him: "You take a look first, do you like such things?" ”

Han Chengze got the order, so he carefully took out the box, and when he opened it, he saw that it was actually a bird carved from jasper. The whole body is green, the head and tail feathers are lifelike, and the whole is very round, and it is like a round pendant in the hand. Seeing that no matter the quality of the carving, Han Chengze smiled and said: "Uncle, there are really good things here, although I don't know what this bird is for, I don't dare to take it now." ”

Lin Ruhai watched him speak, and his face couldn't help but smile, and after listening to Fang Dao: "You don't make ghosts, but you just want me to tell you what this thing is for." I still don't want to say it directly! Han Chengze grinned and said, "If I don't show a little cleverness, I'm afraid that my uncle will think I'm stupid." If you don't tell me when the time comes, you can teach me where to regret going. Lin Ruhai laughed and scolded him for slipping his head all his life, so he put the paper back into the brocade box, took the jade bird in Han Chengze's hand, and rubbed it twice before saying: "This one is the blue bird in this paper." “

Han Chengze just wanted to listen to it, but when he heard Lin Ruhai talk about it, he became more serious and waited for him to say. After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, he rubbed the jade bird for a long time before he said lightly: "As for Lin, it is my Lin family." Turning his head, he saw Han Chengze listening carefully, and suddenly smiled: "Hey, what are you talking about, anyway, you little children don't have to understand much." If your uncle gave you this gift today, would you be happy? ”

Han Chengze faintly felt that this thing was not as simple as Lin Ruhai said, if it was really an ordinary object, why would it be so finely placed, and there were still two family heirlooms that didn't know what it was. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "If my uncle really gave it away, I really like this thing alone, but now for some reason, I just don't dare to take it." ”

Lin Ruhai looked at him fixedly, and said with a vague hook of the corners of his mouth: "Why don't you dare, are you afraid that your uncle will deceive you?" Han Chengze hurriedly shook his hand and said: "I'm just afraid that I'm small, so I can't use it, and I will live up to my uncle's hard work." When these words came out, Lin Ruhai was a little silent, and only after a while did he say: "Sure enough, you are a very smart child." Alas, it's a pity that Min'er and I only got one Yu'er, if there is a descendant like you, you should live up to the ancestors! ”

The two of them were silent for a long time, Han Chengze saw that Lin Ruhai's eyes seemed to have infinite concerns, and thought about what he said just now, and felt that his uncle was afraid that after a hundred years, only his cousin Daiyu would be left, and it would inevitably be difficult to survive in the future, so he said again: "Uncle doesn't have to sigh, although I am not a child of the Lin family, I am also my cousin's brother, and my brother, naturally my cousin has my brother, even if my cousin has a home and we help him, no one can bully my cousin." ”

Lin Ruhai held the jade bird, nodded slightly, then stood up and beckoned Han Chengze to his side. Han Chengze didn't know what Lin Ruhai was going to do, so he honestly walked over and stood beside him. Lin Ruhai took out a very finely crafted sachet from the bookcase, put the jade bird in it, tied the knot himself, tied it to the belt for Han Chengze, held his shoulder and looked at it carefully for a long time, and nodded and said, "Sure enough, it looks very suitable." Looking up, he glanced up and saw Han Chengze's ignorant face, so he smiled again: "Don't worry, since my uncle has to give you this gift, it is naturally better to make it clearer." ”

Seeing that Lin Ruhai beckoned the little guy outside to come in and change the tea, and ordered someone to guard the outside, Han Chengze inexplicably felt that the jade bird on his waist had some origins, so that he was cautious when he sat down, just afraid that something would go wrong. Lin Ruhai waited for him to sit down, and Fang slowly threw out a sentence: "Your aunt was born in Jiafu, do you know it?" Han Chengze immediately nodded in response. Lin Ruhai said again: "Do you know the four major families of Jia Shi Wang Xue or not?" ”
