Chapter 460: Chatting
"Lang'er! You're so old and so unstable, aren't you making your cousin Lian laugh at you? Jia Min was worried about Lin Ruhai's injury at first, afraid that Lin Lang would hurt Lin Ruhai again without knowing the severity of the matter, but seeing that Lin Ruhai's face was not bad, he was still standing so steady when Lin Lang rushed over just now, thinking that the injury on his body had healed, he was a little relieved.
Jia Lian stepped forward and respectfully saluted Lin Ruhai: "My nephew has seen my uncle!" ”
Lin Ruhai picked up Jia Lian with both hands and said with a smile: "Good boy doesn't need to be polite, I haven't seen you grow so big for many years, good, good!" When you come to your aunt's and uncle's house, you don't have to be polite about everything, just treat it as if you were in your own home! ”
"Yes! Thank you, uncle! Jia Lian admired this legendary uncle very much, and he was a little nervous along the way, afraid that Lin Ruhai would have a straight face like Mr., but when he saw Lin Ruhai being so kind to him today, he felt a little less restrained.
"Don't stand at the door, let's go in first and sit down and talk slowly!" Jia Min hugged Lin Xuan from Lin's mother, and walked inside the mansion as she spoke.
Lin Ruhai saw the youngest son in Jia Min's arms, this son was more than four months old, and he hadn't seen it yet. wanted to take Lin Xuan over and hug her, but considering that this was in front of the gate of the Marquis Wenyuan's mansion, he dispelled his thoughts and walked side by side with Jia Min towards the mansion.
"Min'er has worked hard along the way, but what accidents are there on the way? I heard that you set off from the capital 20 days ago, why did you arrive home today? Lin Ruhai looked sideways at Jia Min as he walked, and his eyes were reluctant to take his eyes off Jia Min's face for a moment.
Jia Min was very embarrassed by Lin Ruhai, his shy face flushed, and he glared at him coquettishly and said: "The day we set off, the sky changed, and it snowed heavily that night, and the snow on this road was sometimes heavy and small, and it never stopped, fortunately, there was no snow on this side of Yangzhou, otherwise we don't know how long it will take to go back from the dock, maybe we won't even be able to enter the city gate at that time!" ”
"You should have sent me a letter in advance, let me be scared, not to mention how inconvenient it is, if I go to the dock to pick you up, no matter how late the city gate will have to be opened for us to enter!"
"It's such a cold day, don't I want you to wait on the docks?" Jia Min couldn't say anything about worrying about Lin Ruhai's injury in front of so many people, so he could only mention it vaguely.
Lin Ruhai smirked a few times, knowing in his heart that Jia Min was feeling sorry for him.
"That's right! Why didn't you come back with you? Lin Ruhai asked curiously.
"Oh! Prince Yan escorted the Tatar king into Beijing, I asked Ya'er to stay in the capital and wait for his father, his current identity is there, how can he not be by his father's side at such an important moment? ”
Although Lin Ruhai also had reluctance and longing in his heart, he also knew that this was all helpless, so he didn't say anything more, and at this time, everyone also arrived at the mountain residence.
After Jia Min left, Lin Ruhai almost never lived here, he lived in his study. However, the people will clean up every day, so that everywhere is no different from before Jia Min left.
"I don't know when you'll come back, the kang in this Qinmei Nuanju hasn't burned yet!"
Everyone entered the main hall of the mountain residence and sat down, and the little maids served hot tea. At this time, Lin Ruhai took over the third son Lin Xuan from Jia Min's hands, and it was a coincidence that when Lin Ruhai just hugged Lin Xuan into his arms, the little guy who was sleeping a moment ago immediately opened his eyes. Lin Xuan opened his big eyes and looked at Lin Ruhai ignorantly, Lin Ruhai also looked at Lin Xuan gently, and smiled kindly at Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan stretched out his little hand and touched Lin Ruhai's cheek, grinned and laughed, making Lin Ruhai's heart turn into a puddle of water in an instant!
"This kid is the Lin family's species at first glance, he is so smart at such a young age, he can recognize him at a glance!" Lin Ruhai boasted of his third son without any scruples.
Jia Min and Lin Lang's mother and son both pouted and smiled and didn't answer his words, but Jia Lian smiled and said: "Cousin Xuan is indeed very smart, don't look at him as young, but he can tell who is good and who is bad!" He laughs at me, but when he rolls his eyes at Cousin Sin, that's funny? ”
Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Min and asked with his eyes who Cousin Xin was in Jia Lian's mouth.
Jia Min smiled indifferently and said: "It's my eldest sister's son, who now lives in the guest house of Rongguo Mansion, and his father let him study in the family studies!" ”
Lin Ruhai saw from Jia Min's eyes that she still had unfinished words, and it should be inconvenient to say it at this time, so she nodded and changed the topic.
"Does Lian'er want to study in Jiangnan or make a special trip to Yangzhou this time?"
"Back to my uncle's words! My nephew barely passed the Tongsheng exam in the autumn of this year, but Mr. said that his nephew's current level test is still a little hot. I often heard my grandfather talk about my uncle's family of scholars, not only has a family heritage, but also has a deep attainment in learning, so my nephew made a special trip to Yangzhou to visit my uncle, hoping that my uncle can mention some nephews! Then there is the gentleman who said that it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, I have lived in the capital since I was a child, and my vision is not open enough, so I also want to take this opportunity to go out and see more, and learn some knowledge that is not in the books! ”
Lin Ruhai looked at the Jia Lian in front of him, who was very different from the previous life, and his still immature face could still see the appearance of the handsome and dashing second master Lian many years later, but the temperament was like two people. Today's Jia Lian is polite in his speech and demeanor, without any of the gentleness of the previous life, his eyes are honest and sincere, not as full of treachery and obscenity as in the previous life! Lin Ruhai is still very satisfied with such Jia Lian, it can be seen that Jia Daishan is indeed teaching Jia Lian very hard, there is such an upright and promising heir in Rongguo Mansion, and the future can be expected!
Lin Ruhai nodded with a smile and said: "It's not easy for you to be admitted to the Tongsheng exam at a young age, it can be seen that you study hard!" However, your husband's words are not wrong, they are always confined to one place that is not conducive to your future development, if you want to go through the imperial examination and enter the office, you must work hard! ”
"Nephews are not afraid of hardship!" Jia Lian's beautiful peach blossom eyes looked at Lin Ruhaidao expectantly.
Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Take a rest in the past two days, and if the weather is good, let Lang'er take you to Yangzhou City for a walk!" As for academics, it's not too late to talk about it when you're settled! ”
