Chapter 246: Letter from Eldest Brother
Lin Yizhe saw that all the letters were carefully put away by Chen Wan, and they were sealed as before, without the slightest sign of opening, and he couldn't help but have another layer of respect for Chen Wan in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After Chen Wan handed the letter to Lin Yizhe, she went out, leaving him alone to read the letter by himself.
Lin Yizhe first opened a few letters from Lu Yingyan and read them, Lu Yingyan's first few letters were mostly greetings and thoughts, and the last letter told herself a great news: she had become a mother, gave birth to a big fat boy for him, and wanted to name the newborn by herself.
Thinking of Lu Yingyan who was far away in England and the new life that had been born, Lin Yizhe couldn't help but miss it for a while.
And Lu Yingyan also told Lin Yizhe in the letter that under her management, Lin Yizhe's dowry silver and her dowry silver to the Lu family totaled more than 20 thousand taels, and now the value has doubled to 400,000 taels!
He actually married a powerful financial expert, which he never expected before.
Lin Yizhe read Lu Yingyan's letter, forcibly suppressed the longing for her in his heart, and took the letter from the "big brother" that Chen Wan said and read it.
Lin Yizhe did not rush to open the letter, but first looked at the name of the person who wrote the letter on the envelope.
Since the "soul wears" to this era to the present, he has been deliberately avoiding things related to his "ex", although he has always paid attention to understanding the things of his predecessor, but no matter how he understands, he is a time-traveler after all, not himself, without the memory of the original person, it is impossible to understand everything related to "self" life experience.
Although he has not acted as a "goof" until now, the "big brother" who came out of the cold still made him break out in a cold sweat.
Seeing the three neat and upright pavilion-style Chinese characters on the envelope, "Lin Huishu" (Lin Zexu's children and grandchildren's names are so awkward), Lin Yizhe knew that this should be the name of his eldest brother.
Seeing such a font, Lin Yizhe's first judgment was that this eldest brother was likely to be a Hanlin!
Lin Yizhe took a deep breath, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, and read it carefully.
This letter is a typical classical Chinese text, the text is remote and the content is profound, so that Lin Yizhe, a traveler with profound literary skills, is quite difficult to read the letter of Han Lin Liu.
After reading it word by word, Lin Yizhe finally understood the content of the letter. In the letter, he first talked about the etiquette, righteousness and shame that scholars should abide by, and then mentioned the achievements of the ancestor Lin Zexu and his father Lin Ruzhou in learning rather than political achievements (Lin Ruzhou is the eldest son of Lin Zexu, who became a jinshi in the eighteenth year of Daoguang, that is, in 1838, but he was only a Hanlin in his life, only cultivating history and not talking about politics, after Lin Zexu's death, Lin Ruzhou was promoted to a waiter. Lin Ruzhou's eldest son, Lin Huishu, was trained by his father not to be an official or to participate in politics, and since then, the descendants of the Lin family have studied more and engaged in politics less). Then he began to educate Lin Yizhe at length.
“…… The book of sages cannot be increased or lost by the mouth of you! …… And my family's ancestors, the rate of ploughing and reading the old business, not only is the eunuch scarce, that is, the business service Jia, as far as the provinces, it is rare. The old student is cowardly, cold-tolerant and hungry and disgusted, and claims that he is poor and has no slang, and he has the tears of thought. Dao Xianlu military incident, the cautious first go to the valley, Xu Jue is still okay, strong on the matter, now refers to the officials and nobles, so it is also chosen. From now on, high-ranking officials are generous, and they are all poor and poor in their ancestors. If the way of heaven does not gather, then it cannot be comfortable, how can there be day without night, how can there be spring and summer without autumn and winter, this constant principle is also. All the gentlemen are seeking for Sang Zi, and all those who go to Thailand for luxury are all known to maintain the simple and willing style of the ancestors to protect the world. Outside the lake, you can enjoy the blessing of Xiao leisure and loneliness for a long time, and it is fortunate to have a lot of ......"
After that, Lin Yishu first accused Lin Yizhe of violating the admonition left by his father to "study more and not participate in politics". He accused Lin Yizhe of "violating his father's discipline", the purpose of studying was to be an official, and accused him of unscrupulously taking the line of ascending to the position in order to become an official, "stooping to do ghosts", "using Western strange skills to bewitch the saint", ******** thinking that he would be added to the official and become a knight, and "trapping the monarch's father in injustice, putting the people's livelihood and water and fire (this sentence probably refers to Lin Yizhe's use of "garden worker" to solve the problem)", and finally scolded him for "disturbing the holy religion with heresy", "learning bad middle school with the West", "wanting to change the summer with raze", and ruining the orthodox status of Chinese learning, He is the "sinner of the ages" of the Chinese nation!
After scolding, Brother Lin warned Lin Yizhe at the end of the letter to turn back quickly, it was not too late, if not, he would cut off the brotherly relationship with him!
After reading the letter, Lin Yizhe couldn't help but feel on fire for a while.
It's just a matter of being scolded by those gossip officials, but I didn't expect my eldest brother to scold himself like this!
Lin Yizhe forcibly suppressed his anger, and it was easy to resist the urge to tear the letter to shreds.
Chen Wan returned to the room and couldn't help but be taken aback when she saw Lin Yizhe's pale face.
"What's wrong? Kunyu? What happened? She temporarily let go of the unhappiness that Lin Yizhe brought back a fan girl to her, and asked with concern.
"Look at it! This is written by the eldest brother! Lin Yizhe handed Lin Hushu's letter to Chen Wan, "It's almost like scolding me as a well-dressed beast!" ”
Chen Wan took the letter and read it with some puzzlement, she only looked at it a few times, and her face had already changed color.
Chen Wan read the letter and returned it to Lin Yizhe without comment. Although she was also unusually angry about the content of the letter, the person who wrote the letter was Lin Yizhe's eldest brother after all, and she couldn't say anything.
"If Kunyu thinks this letter is not easy to reply, it is better to discuss it with Mr. Xu first." Chen Wan said.
"Okay, let Mr. Xu take a look and hear what he has to say." Lin Yizhe put the letter away, he remembered Lin Puqing's illness, thought about it in his heart, and immediately asked, "Auntie's illness, how is it now?" ”
"Since the beginning of winter, I have been lying in bed, after the beginning of spring, I can walk two steps on the ground, but after walking for a long time, I am too tired to do it, and I rarely get out of bed now." When Chen Wan heard Lin Yizhe's question, a melancholy color flashed in her eyes, "Shicai's letter, it's best not to let my aunt know, lest she get angry and aggravate her condition." ”
"Okay." Lin Yizhe nodded, "Stay a while, you can accompany me over to see my aunt." He was worried that she would be petty because of the matter of Aya, and his tone was full of pleading.
Of course, Chen Wan heard the meaning of his words, smiled at him and pursed her lips, and returned to the way she used to be when she met him.
"That person from London, there are so many letters, is there something urgent?" Chen Wan asked, "I'm afraid that she is in a hurry and wants to send someone to send the letter to Taiwan, I heard that you have entered the mountain, and I am afraid that I will not receive it if I send it, and it will be easy to lose it, so I will collect it for you, and I will see it when you come back." ”
"She's just in a hurry to report the good news to me, hehe, there's nothing to say behind someone's back, Wan'er take a look." Lin Yizhe smiled and handed Lu Yingyan's letter to Chen Wan.
"Really show me?" Chen Wan looked at Lin Yizhe, smiled slightly, and did not reach out to pick it up.
Lin Yizhe smiled and stretched the letter in his hand forward again.
"Then I can see it." Chen Wan saw that he was sincere and showed it to herself, so she took it with a smile, opened the bottom one and read it.
Chen Wan originally wanted to see what Lu Yingyan and Lin Yizhe said, but she didn't expect that many of Lu Yingyan's letters were greetings, and the objects of greetings, except for Shen Baozhen and his wife, were herself and the children!
Although those subtle but deep love and longing for Lin Yizhe surprised her with Lu Yingyan's literary brilliance, those heartfelt words to greet herself and her children moved her even more.
When she saw Lu Yingyan tell Lin Yizhe that she had given birth to a boy, she couldn't help but be happy.
"She's giving birth! Why didn't you say it earlier! ”
"Didn't I know that!" Lin Yizhe saw her excited look, a little funny, but more moved.
For the boy born to Lu Yingyan, she did not have the slightest jealousy, but was happy for her. This must be due to her kind nature......
This little woman, after becoming a mother, is really different......
"I really want to see her baby!" Chen Wan said happily.
"She said in the letter, I must come and see you and the children." Lin Yizhe said, "When it is convenient for her, I will ask her to come back and have a look." Meet your sister. ”
"Hmm!" Chen Wan nodded and returned the letter to Lin Yizhe. Lin Yizhe hugged her and kissed her lightly on the face. She also hugged him and let him kiss him, but when Lin Yizhe stretched out his Lushan claw to her, she gently held his hand.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yizhe asked a little strangely.
"What's wrong?" Chen Wan smiled and flicked his head, "I'm happy again!" ”
Lin Yizhe was ecstatic, picked her up, and took an excited turn in the room.
"I'm tired, stop for a while." Chen Wan was afraid that he would fall on herself, so she said softly. Lin Yizhe gently put her on the bed, his arms still wrapped around her slender waist.
"I also want to ask you, the daughter of the leader of the Fan clan, did you also let you ...... Well? Chen Wan's eyes turned dangerous.
"No, no, I'm innocent with her!" Lin Yizhe hurriedly took the opportunity to explain, "I didn't want to bring her here, but she was reluctant to bring me, and on the day she came back, she was on the beach, and when she saw the boat leaving, she jumped into the sea and swam over, so I had to fish her up." Because she ran out privately behind her father's back, she would definitely be punished if she went back, so she brought her over, and after a few days, her father and brother were discouraged, and I repaired a book to explain it, and then found a chance to send her back. ”
"People jumped into the sea for you, and if you send them back, wouldn't you kill her?" Chen Wan gave him a blank look, "It's better to dispel this idea as soon as possible." ”
