After Lin Ruhai and Jia Min finished lunch, the two went to the study of the main courtyard together, Jia Min practiced calligraphy, and Lin Ruhai read. The two do not disturb each other, but they are extremely harmonious and warm. Lin Ruhai suddenly thought of Liu Cheng, and said to Jia Min: "Min'er still remembers Liu Xianglian?" ”

Jia Min raised his head to look at Lin Ruhai, put the pen in his hand on the pen stand, and tilted his head to think for a while, "Oh! Thinking about it, I said how the name sounds so familiar! The only remaining heir in the Liguo Mansion, that prodigal son! ”

In fact, the child is pure in nature, upright and selfless, and has a good kung fu inherited from the family, but no one has taught him since he was a child, and he grew up with some gentlemen, and squandered all the family wealth left by his ancestors. I heard that he later joined the army, but I don't know what the result was. ”

"That's what a pity a good boy to say that!" Jia Min walked to the chair opposite Lin Ruhai and sat down.

Lin Ruhai picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of hot tea and handed it over, "Isn't it!" ”

"Why did the husband think of him?"

"That's right, the number one name of this year's Winter Hunting Competition is Liu Xianglian's father, Liu Cheng, the only son of Li Guogong."

"Really? I remember that this Liu Cheng is not very old, but this ability is not small! Jia Min said in surprise.

"I was shocked too. The emperor was so happy that he directly made him the imperial guard, and he was promoted to five levels in a row, and many people were red-eyed! ”

"It's useless to be red-eyed! This kind of young talent is not comparable to everyone. ”

"Yes! The fifteen-year-old captain of the fifth grade has few in the past

Yes! ”

"Why haven't you heard of such a person in your last life?"

"In the previous life, Liu Cheng also made a splash in this winter hunt and became a royal guard. But he was too young and didn't know how to get along with the people in the palace, so he was always jealous and excluded, he was upright and righteous, and he didn't show himself in front of the emperor. After a long time, the emperor forgot about him. It was more than ten years later that Duke Li Guogong gave the emperor a table on his deathbed and asked for a foreign appointment for Liu Cheng, and the emperor remembered him as a person. The emperor also intended to let him go to the army for training, so he gave him the position of deputy envoy of the two Zhejiang Propaganda Envoys. Unfortunately, within a few years, he and his wife both suffered an accident and died. left her only son, Liu Xianglian, who had just turned eight years old, alone in the world. ”

"Liu Cheng's kung fu is so good, and he is a military general from the fourth grade, there are guards in the family, how can he die unexpectedly?"

Lin Ruhai frowned and shook his head, "I don't know, I also checked it in my previous life, but I didn't find any results!" ”

"Does the husband want to help the Liu family?" Jia Min asked tentatively.

"I have this idea, but I'm afraid that if I have a close relationship with Liu Cheng, the emperor will be suspicious."

Jia Min smiled and said: "I think my husband can interact with him generously, and let the emperor know that you appreciate Liu Cheng very much." ”

"What does Min'er mean?"

"Will be reconciled!"

Lin Ruhai immediately smiled when he heard this, "Min'er is really smart, indeed, the emperor is now short of loyal generals, and he must be happy to see me and Liu Cheng live in harmony." ”

"It's not that I'm smart, it's that my husband is a fan!"

The two were talking and laughing, and Dong Meilang outside the door said: "Old lady, there is a distinguished guest at home!" ”

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min looked at each other, not knowing who this distinguished guest was. For the sake of insurance, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min went to the front hall to meet the distinguished guest. When I walked into the front hall, I saw two men, an old man and a young man, with a few sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and abnormal, it was Liu Cheng who the two were talking about just now, the old one was wearing a purple python robe, and he was looking up at the plaque hanging above the hall with his back to them.

"Excuse me! There aren't so many rules out there! Ruhai, your daughter-in-law is still pregnant, help her sit down. ”

"Your Majesty, why are you here, no, why didn't you let people know when you came, so that Weichen could prepare in advance! Are you the only one? What about Gonggong Shi? What about the other guards?! Lin Ruhai helped Jia Min get up, it was a bunch of problems.

"You stop! I just found out today that you're so long-winded! Shi Youfu went to arrange for the other guards! ”

Jia Min ordered someone to replace it with good Pu'er tea.

"How does Mrs. Lin know that I love Pu'er?" The emperor was very pleased with Jia Min's carefulness and thoughtfulness.

"Back to the emperor's words, I heard my father mention it when the concubine was in the boudoir."

"Sit down, don't be restrained." The emperor sat down on his own, and Liu Chengcheng stood beside him. The emperor pointed to the plaque above his head and asked Liu Cheng, "Liu Cheng, do you know the origin of the words on it?" ”

"Weichen doesn't know, please ask the emperor to solve your doubts." Liu Cheng replied respectfully.

The four words "loyalty, filial piety and honesty" on this plaque are written by the ancestor of the Lin family, the Dingyuan Marquis, the founding father of our dynasty. He was originally a scholar, and he followed Emperor Taizu to fight the country, and he was Emperor Taizu's military at that time. These four words are a portrayal of his life, and they have also become the family motto of their Lin family. Is what Hai Zhen said right? ”

"What the emperor said is that the Lin family motto, every child of the Lin family must kneel in front of this plaque before enlightenment, listen to the teachings of the ancestors, and inherit the will of the ancestors!"

"That's why I told you that the Lin family is a family with a deep heritage, and Ruhai is a rare gentleman." The emperor said to Liu Chengdao.

"Weichen is ashamed, far from inheriting his ancestors!" Lin Ruhai said modestly.

"You are too modest, you are only in your early twenties now, and in another ten years, your demeanor will not be weaker than theirs. You didn't disgrace your grandparents! ”

"Lord Lin is talented and has outstanding character, which really makes the little brother admire!" Liu Cheng also said sincerely.

"Thank you Lord Liu for your compliment, Ruhai just doesn't want to lose the face of the ancestors!"

"Lord Lin is polite, just call me Chengyi!"

"Okay, Chengyi's younger brother is a young talent, and he shows his skills in the winter hunting, like the five-body throw to the ground admired by the sea!"

"Just now, my husband was still telling me about Lord Liu's deeds in the winter hunt, I really didn't expect that you have such great ability at a young age, and Li Guogong taught me well!" Jia Min also smiled.

"Hahaha...... Liguo Gong is indeed good, and it is indeed difficult for such a talent to be Chengyi. You are all the pillars of the country, and I am also fortunate to meet you! Lin Ruhai and Liu Cheng heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and said that they didn't dare to bear it.

Jia Min felt that it was inappropriate to stay any longer, "If the emperor doesn't dislike it, he will have dinner in the mansion tonight and then go back to the palace." It just so happened that the chrysanthemum brewed by the concubine was already ready to drink, so please ask the emperor to taste it. ”

The emperor called Gonggong Shi, who was waiting outside the door, in, "Did you just arrange the guards?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the housekeeper in the Lin Mansion has already helped arrange it."

The emperor smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's drink a few cups of chrysanthemum brew here in Ruhai today and come back!" ”
