Chapter Twenty-Eight: Spring Outing

Lin Ruhai got married, and the emperor allowed him a ten-day leave. Lin Ruhai originally wanted to take Jia Min to Zhuangzi to live for a few days, but Liu Mo said that in the first month of marriage, the new house could not be empty, so he went to the Peach Blossom Pass outside the city to play for a day.

On this day, Lin Ruhai got up half an hour earlier than usual, and when he came back from martial arts practice, he asked Jia Min to get up. Jia Min was troubled by Lin Ruhai twice last night, and he was so tired that he really didn't think about it.

"Why did you get up so early! It's not dawn yet! Jia Min's voice was probably a little hoarse because she had just woken up, and her coquettish tone made Lin Ruhai couldn't help but give a passionate kiss, until she was out of breath and pushed Lin Ruhai hard, and he was reluctant to let go.

"Come on, didn't you say today that you were going to Peach Blossom Pass, you have to leave early, otherwise you won't be able to come back in the evening."

Jia Min blushed and pouted and got up obediently. When the two of them packed up and rode out of the city in a carriage, the city gate had just opened.

"If you are sleepy, sleep for a while, far away from the peach blossom pass, and I will call you when it comes." Lin Ruhai let Jia Min lie in his arms, like coaxing a child, gently patting her back with one hand, and Jia Min fell asleep after a while. Seeing that she was asleep, Lin Ruhai also closed her eyes and rested.

When he was about to arrive at Peach Blossom Pass, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the carriage, Lin Ruhai opened his eyes, and saw that Jia Min was still asleep, and then he heard someone outside the carriage, "You are the descendants of Lin Bianxiu's family?" Is it Lin Bian Xiu deity in the carriage? ”

Lin Ruhai heard that the voice was a little familiar, so he lifted the curtain of the car and looked out: "Which friend is it?" ”

"Brother Ruhai, it's really you!" I saw a young man wearing blue brocade and a white jade crown sitting on a horse and smiling at Lin Ruhai. This person is Lin Ruhai's fellow scholar, Li Jifan, the eldest son of the Ministry of Shangshu, and his relationship with Lin Ruhai has always been very good.

"Why is Brother Ji Fan here?" Lin Ruhai was also very pleasantly surprised to meet Li Jifan here.

"I heard that the peach blossoms in Peach Blossom Pass have bloomed, and I happened to be resting today, so I brought my daughters to enjoy it."

Lin Ruhai looked forward and backward, "Why don't you see the carriage of the female relatives in the family?" ”

"The carriage is behind, I'll ride over first, let people set up a tent first, and pack up their things." Li Jifan instructed his entourage to enter the col first, and he rode a horse to follow Lin Ruhai's carriage, "Ruhai also brought his younger siblings to enjoy the flowers, right?" ”

Lin Ruhai looked down at the sweet little wife who was still sleeping, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Yes, in a few days, I will start going to the government on vacation, and I will accompany Humble Jing out to go around while I have free time." You also know that I am the only one in my family, and she is alone at home, and it is very boring to be unaccompanied. ”

"Ruhai can let my younger siblings go to my house when they are free, your sister-in-law at home, and your sister-in-law are all excellent people, chatting together, playing the piano and painting or something to pass the boring time."

"Naturally, it's very good, just to familiarize them with it today." Lin Ruhai is very willing that Jia Min can make a few good friends with good character and good dealings. Li Jifan's wife is the eldest daughter of the century-old Xie family. The Xie family is also in Jinling, different from the four major families, the Xie family is very famous in the Jiangnan area, and there are several great Confucians in the family, but there are very few who take the career to become officials.

"Husband, have you arrived?" Jia Min rubbed her eyes and sat up.

Lin Ruhai sorted out her scattered broken hair by the side, and said, "You woke up at the right time, and you are about to enter the Peach Blossom Pass." Just now I happened to meet a good friend of mine, Li Jifan, the eldest son of the Ministry of Shangshu, who is in the same department as me, and now he is announcing his errand and is a colleague of his second uncle. He also brought his wife to enjoy the flowers, her wife has a very good character, you can play with her, I am not at home in the future, you can also find her as a companion, save the boredom at home. ”

"Is it the eldest girl from the Xie family?"

"Yes, you know? I don't remember that you met in the last life, I wanted Ji Fan to introduce me, but I never had the opportunity, I only stayed in the capital for three years before I went out, and I haven't seen Brother Ji Fan since. ”

"I don't know, it's just that in the last life, when the Li family suffered a great change, she was able to lead the family of women and children all the way back to her hometown, and she also kept most of the Li family's property, she is really an admirable strange woman."

"You mean, Brother Ji Fan also had an accident?"

"Yes, in the second year after you went, someone joined Li Jifan and accused him of embezzlement when he was presiding over the construction of the embankment in Henan, and the evidence was conclusive, and he was soon sentenced to beheading."

"Brother Ji Fan will never be so stupid, don't say that he can't do anything corrupt and pervert the law, he is really greedy, with his prudence and carefulness, he will never be caught, who is involved in him?"

"It's one of his subordinates named Takeda, it's strange to say, the evidence he said was more than ten years ago, since there is evidence in his hands, why didn't he sue at that time?"

"I see! Ji Fan was framed by this Takeda. This Takeda is also in the same department as us, but he is a poor man with no connections, he was in the same Ministry of Industry as Ji Fan at the time, but two years later, Ji Fan was promoted to a member of the Ministry of Industry and became a senior official of Takeda. Later, the two went to Henan together, and because of their meritorious work in controlling the water, they were promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, but Takeda only received some silver rewards. However, at that time, Takeda and Ji Fan had a good relationship, and after I was transferred to Suzhou, they had a very close relationship, and all the letters with me mentioned how talented Takeda was. ”

"The human heart is unpredictable! Did you remind Brother Li? ”

"It's useless to remind him, Brother Ji Fan is good at everything, but he is a little stubborn and self-serving, he won't believe my words, but will think that I am narrow-minded and suppress talented people."

"What then?"

"I will let me keep an eye on Takeda first, and once I find out that he is wrong, I will not hand over the evidence to Lord Li, and let Lord Li take action."

"That's the best!"

At this time, the carriage just stopped, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min got out of the carriage, and saw Li Jifan walking towards them.

After the two sides finished saluting, Lin Ruhai said: "Brother Ji Fan's family hasn't arrived yet?" ”

"No, it will take more than half an hour to arrive."

"Then Humble Jing and I will go to the peach forest first, and when they arrive, I will wait for Humble Jing to come and visit."

"Brother Xian is polite, Brother Xian, please take care of yourself, when your sister-in-law and sister-in-law arrive, I will go to look for you."

So Lin Ruhai took Jia Min's hand and stepped into the picturesque beauty.

There are thousands of peach blossoms in the peach blossom pass, which is a naturally formed peach forest, and when the peach blossoms bloom in February every year, it will attract many tourists.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min walked side by side holding hands, strolling in the sea of flowers. The whole peach forest looks like a pink cloud from a distance, giving people the illusion of stepping into a fairyland. A gust of wind blew, and the peach petals fell like rain, and there was a sense of floating like a fairy!

Lin Ruhai looked down at his little wife, and the peach petals fell on her hair, which made her jade-like face even more delicate. Jia Min was stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of him, "It's so beautiful!" ”

"yes, it's beautiful!" Lin Ruhai replied. Jia Min looked up and saw him staring at him, and stretched out his hand to cover his eyes shyly, "I'm talking about the beautiful scenery." ”

Lin Ruhai pulled down her soft, "I'm talking about the beauty of the lady!" ”

Jia Min smiled and grimaced at her, "You'll coax me!" ”

"How can I coax you! The scene of Min'er standing in the peach forest just now can be beautiful! ”

"Then why don't we go and paint this beautiful scenery?"

"I think, wouldn't it be better for me to play the piano, Min'er dances in this peach forest, and then draws it."

"Will it be seen?" Jia Min was also excited, looking eager to try.

Lin Ruhai pinched her little nose, "I let people watch around, don't let people get close, I also want Min'er's beautiful dance to be seen by others." ”

Lin Ruhai really asked Dongmei, who followed, to go to the carriage to pick up relatives. How do you clean up the dead branches and rubble on the ground?
