Master Lin of the Red Chamber

I spent a good holiday at home, enjoyed the food from the chef in the mansion, and went out to have two drinks with some friends in Beijing.

In the end, he went to the mountain again and had a conversation with the little monk Jingxin, and Lin Qing hurried back to the academy. There was no way, the seven days passed too quickly.

After a festival, there was no change in the academy, except that the classmates met again and gave each other some gifts, and after a short period of excitement, they started their complicated studies again.

No matter how good the talent is, there is nothing in this world that can be mastered immediately, and it still takes a lot of hard work, but learning something that interests you doesn't feel so boring.

Winter went to spring, cold came to summer, and in the blink of an eye, two years passed again. The teaching date of the academy is five years, and students are admitted every five years, and there are still three years before leaving the academy.

But Lin Qing had to leave the academy one step earlier. Of course, he asked the dean for leave. Although the dean was very reluctant to give him this leave, he had to give it in the end.

After staying in the academy for two years, the current Lin Qing is not the same young lady as before. He is already 16 years old, which is considered an adult in ancient times. If he is not studying in the academy now, he may have married a long time ago.

Of course, he couldn't escape now. Lin Ruhai arranged a marriage for him when he was studying in the academy and didn't know anything about it. The two families had even discussed when to get married.

And even if it was settled, Lin Ruhai never thought of telling him, if it wasn't for the letter from his sister, talking about this matter, Lin Qing might not know that he has a wife until he gets married.

I couldn't tell what mood he was in, but on the day he received the letter, Lin Qing went to the dean to ask for leave. Along the way, he hurried back to Lin's mansion and went straight to Lin Ruhai's study.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and Lin Ruhai had already returned home. According to the usual habits, his cheap father would read in the study, so Lin Qing didn't even go to his own yard, so he came to Lin Ruhai for an explanation.

Without even asking a question, they arranged their marriage for him privately. Afterwards, they didn't even have the idea to tell him. Even if they knew that the marriage of children in ancient times was decided by their parents, it was not their turn to do it at all. choose.

But when this happened to him, Lin Qing still couldn't help feeling annoyed in his heart, but when he pushed open the door and was about to question Lin Ruhai loudly, he suddenly saw that under the oil lamp, there was a girl on her temples. Conspicuous white hair.

I was full of anger along the way, and I had planned to question him for a long time. At this time, I don’t know why, but I just couldn’t say it. It’s been almost five years, and it’s been almost five years since he returned to Lin’s house. Lin Ruhai is also a little old .

That's right, when Lin Ruhai came to look for him back then, he was already quite old. How could he not be old after dealing with the government all these years, especially this year, the emperor was critically ill several times. All tied together, the pressure is probably extremely great.

Thinking of what Lin Xian said in the letter and what Lin Sister Lin said in the letter in the past two years, Lin Qing was silent for a moment, and did not say what he questioned.

At the stall where the emperor was dying, Lin Ruhai probably had a deep intention hidden behind the marriage that Lin Ruhai arranged for himself. She should never refuse her love.

Sighing, Lin Qing gave up his original plan, said something to Lin Ruhai like a child returning home normally, and then went back to his yard to wash and change clothes.

Isn't it just marrying a wife, what's the big deal, whoever you marry is not married, anyway, people always want to marry a wife in this world, even if he is a cultivator, he can't avoid it, unless he stays away from other people, like purifying his heart The little monk ran to live in the mountains like that.

But such a day, he can't stand it, in this case, it's nothing to obey Lin Ruhai's arrangement, just treat it as a world of mortals refining his mind and tempering his state of mind.

Comforting himself like this, Lin Qing still couldn't help feeling depressed, so after washing his body, he went to bed early, and didn't intend to go to the next door to see Sister Lin.

Although they are brothers and sisters in terms of blood, they have been together since they were young, and in the past two years, Lin Qing went out to study again. Even though they are very good-natured, he still takes good care of sister Lin.

Sister Lin also gets along with him like a relative, but that layer of estrangement has always existed, no matter what, it is difficult to erase, and she still can't get along like he and her sister did back then.

But then again, even the deep relationship between him and his sister back then can no longer be back then. Time is the cruelest thing in this world.

Haven't seen each other for many years, no matter how deep the relationship is not maintained, it will change, especially after her sister has a child, Lin Qing is no longer the only thing she cared about back then.

After staying in the Lin Mansion for so many years, her sister is not the most important thing in Lin Qing's heart anymore. Both of them have changed. This change did not happen suddenly, but slowly and naturally.

Just like what Lin Qing thought when he sent his sister to the sedan chair in Yangzhou, once the sister gets married, the relationship between them will never be the same again.

Lin Qing's lights went out, but Lin Ruhai's side did not. His son came back suddenly, and it was not a holiday, and he still looked so aggressive. How could he not guess what was going on.

But since the son didn't say anything in the end and chose to remain silent, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to expose it. No matter what kind of mental journey the son has gone through in his heart, it is really a good thing to accept it without him opening his mouth.

In fact, if the first emperor was not critically ill and the court was in chaos, he would not be fully sure that he would be able to escape unscathed, and he would not have chosen to arrange such a marriage for his son now.

Although it has been the order of the parents since ancient times and the words of the matchmaker, if possible, he still hopes that his son can find a lady from a family he likes.

He felt that he owed his son a lot, and he didn't want to use these things to restrain his son, but man is not as good as God, the world is always unpredictable, and his ideas are not always realized.

Fortunately, his son finally figured it out. Otherwise, if his son questioned him loudly, Lin Ruhai really didn't know what to say for a while. Even though five years had passed, he still had to be careful when dealing with this father-son relationship.
