Auntie Lin of the Red Chamber

Chapter 45 The Sons of Debt Collection

After all the commotion until the evening, Lin Ruhai finally returned to his home with his sons.Wu Jin was preparing dinner with the cooks, and when he heard that the masters and young masters had returned, he quickly put down his work and went to the main hall.

Lin Ruhai felt tired because of the ups and downs in his heart. The Lin Yan brothers felt tired because they had been the background boards for a day. Although they received a lot of gifts, they were still sluggish, so Wu Jin saw it when he entered the door. Sitting slumped on the chair without image.

Wu Jin was taken aback, thinking that some of your fathers had a fight with Jia's family?Before asking, the triplets, headed by the youngest Lin Che, rushed over one by one like small cannonballs, shouting "Mom~mother~." Wu Jin was even more surprised, but still squatted down to hold the baby The sons were held in her arms, but she forgot that she had three sons, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't hold them.The triplets don't remember brotherly love and mutual help at this time, they are trying hard to squeeze themselves into their mother's arms, and by the way, squeeze out the two brothers who are in the way, so busy that they forgot just now exhausted.

Because Lin Yan still remembered that he was the eldest brother, and he should have the majesty of a big brother in front of his younger brothers, he could only watch helplessly as the three younger brothers drew all the attention of his mother away, and looked at his father pitifully, hoping that he would His father could give him attention, but his father didn't respond to him. His father was staring at his younger brothers.

Lin Ruhai coughed twice to show that he had issued a warning, and hoped that the younger sons would stand up consciously.But the triplets are too busy to be hugged by their mothers, and no one will let the other get busy, and they don't have time to pay attention to their father for the time being.Wu Jin heard it, but she has to be busy taking care of her three sons, and children can easily get hurt if they fight a little, so she persuaded, "Don't fight, stand still, mothers hug each other, be careful , don't fall down", while always paying attention to the son who was squeezed out, ready to help him at any time...

Lin Ruhai, who couldn't stand it anymore, finally decided to do it himself, and stepped forward with two big strides, one in each hand, and raised two sons from the chaotic circle.Lin Xun, who was left behind, cheered happily, finally being able to monopolize his mother.The two who were taken away kicked their legs unwillingly, shouting "Mother~" in their mouths, and stretched their hands in the direction of mother, hoping that mother could save them.Seeing a good opportunity, Lin Yan ran forward with a few small steps, grabbed the remaining Lin Xun and dragged him outside. I won't get my mother, and I won't let you take advantage of it.Lin Xun shouted: "Mother, save me~~." Lin Ruhai...

After a lot of tossing, when he was finally able to sit down and talk safely, Wu Jin was so tired that he wanted to collapse, but he couldn't resist the bubbling curiosity, and asked, "Is it going well for the master to go to Jia's house? Do you all look tired?"

Lin Ruhai was silent for a while, he didn't know how to tell Wu Jin that he was a little disappointed in Jia's family.

Seeing that his father didn't speak, Lin Yan felt that his chance to behave had come, and said, "Mom, we either stand there or just sit there, it's so boring."

Lin Lu nodded in agreement with what the eldest brother said, and continued: "Is this what it's like to go out as a guest? It's so boring."

Not to be outdone, Lin Xun nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it's not fun at all."

Seeing that the three elder brothers had already spoken, Lin Che quickly nodded and said, "That's right, why not go shopping."

Wu Jin was even more puzzled by what his four sons said.Generally, when people entertain young guests, don’t they always let their children play with them? Even if there are no peers at home, they will find some toys or something for the little guests to play with. Why is it not like this in ancient times?Because he had never been a guest before in ancient times, Wu Jin, who didn't know the inside story, could only turn his head and look at Lin Ruhai suspiciously.

Lin Ruhai was a little depressed by his sons talking one after another, and thought to himself: It's not all a good thing if there are more sons.Facing Wu Jin's big almond eyes who were puzzled and asking for answers, he felt that Jin'er was still caring, and this time he answered very straightforwardly: "The children of Jia's family are either younger than them, or much older than them, and they can't play together. .”

Actually not, Mother Jia wanted Jia Zhu to show her favor in front of Lin Ruhai more, so naturally she would not let Jia Zhu take Lin Yan brothers away.Jia Yuanchun has already entered the state of training and preparing for the palace against time. Jia's mother thinks that it is useless to delay Yuanchun's precious day for the sake of the Lin family's concubines, so naturally she will not let Yuanchun come out to play with her cousins.Jia Lian was ill and was recuperating in bed, and the younger Jia Baoyu was only five months old, so he couldn't come out to greet him.Of course, they can also let the brothers play alone, after all, there are a group of nurses and nurses around them.It's just that Jia's mother felt that they were still unpleasant existences of her own daughter after all, and they had already given a generous meeting gift, and their attitude was also amiable, so there was no need to be too considerate.So the Lin Yan brothers were forced to participate in the conversation of adults all the way...

Wu Jin was speechless for a long time, and he couldn't say anything. When he turned around, he saw that the four sons were all pitiful, begging to be touched, hugged, and comforted. He thought it was funny, so he said comfortingly: "Okay, mother I've prepared something delicious for you, I'll bring it to you right away, and now you wash your hands." After driving the sons to wash their hands, he turned around and said to Lin Ruhai, "Master Lin can give me some face."

Lin Ruhai looked at his slim wife, and dared to tease him with a smirk, thinking: This must revitalize the husband, walked to Wu Jin, raised his hands, and said like a grandpa: "Reward, it's not waiting for you!" Do you want to serve Jiner?"

Wu Jin was really about to be defeated by Lin Ruhai's thick skin, and just as he was about to say that he was shameless, the triplets suddenly ran back with their hands raised, and said, "Mother, we also want mother to wash my hands." Wu Jin ·····

At this moment, Lin Ruhai was only thinking about why he wanted Duoduo's son in the first place. They were all here to collect debts. After the end, he still felt that there were not enough debts...

Although the Lin Yan brothers clearly and strongly expressed their unwillingness to go out to be guests again, they were still loaded into the carriage by their father the next morning and brought to visit.

This time he was going to see Lin Ruhai's second senior brother, and Lin Ruhai had an important purpose, so he had to take all his sons with him.Speaking of the second senior brother, I have to talk about Lin Ruhai's school.Lin Ruhai's master was Tao Zhisheng, a well-known and respected scholar in the south of the Yangtze River. After he became an official and had nothing to do at home, he cleaned up the family's family studies.For a time, it became famous far and near, attracting more scholars.Slowly expand and accumulate again, the family education of a family has the scale of an academy.

Mr. Tao may really be a person who believes in "life is endless, tossing and tossing". He not only prospered his family education, but also accepted three closed disciples after his sixtieth birthday.Eldest brother Wei Jinghong, the eldest son of the Wei family in Jiaxing, was the first to get started, with first-class knowledge and elegant demeanor.But there is a saying that is quite reasonable, Huiji will be hurt, and love will not last.There is another idiom called, heaven is jealous of talents.And this man who is the proud son of heaven happened to verify two sentences.

You must know that people who read a lot will have a kind of conceited and romantic feelings. This Wei Jinghong has a good family background, and he is also a good-looking talent. Will pursue romance more than other romantic talents.One day, he went out for a walk on a rainy day, and when he walked through a certain alley, he heard a song by chance.As we all know, whispering soft words sounds very sweet and makes people feel comfortable. With the addition of melodious and melodious tunes, and such a rainy background, the vocal music in the whole picture should not be too beautiful.Anyway, Wei Jinghong was intoxicated, shocked, and moved, and he knocked on other people's door very abruptly.

The person who opened the door was a seven or eight-year-old girl with double buns. The little girl thought her father had come back, but when she opened the door, she saw a strange stranger. She screamed in fright and quickly closed the door again.But it was too late, in the space of less than ten seconds, Wei Jinghong had already seen the soft and beautiful woman in his twenties and eight years.For a while, Wei Jinghong could no longer feel the change of the world, only the sound of his own "thumping" heartbeat.After returning home, with a splash of ink, Quan Si wrote a lot of love poems like a cloud.These poems were imitated and learned by scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, and even brothel singers added songs and sang them.

Xu Shi vented some turbulent emotions and freed up some brain space. Wei Jinghong finally remembered: he can't just be unrequited love here, he wants to marry this girl.But we have to come up with a good way, this girl looks like a commoner, no matter how much my mother loves him, she won't let him marry such a girl easily, this is well known to Wei Dacai.Sweet and distressed at the same time, Wei Jinghong lived like this for a few days.Mrs. Wei finally couldn't bear it any longer. Her son was sometimes so nervous when he was creating, and she was used to it, but this time it took a little longer.

Being caught by his old mother and questioned, Wei Jinghong, who had tasted the sweetness of love for the first time, couldn't help explaining everything in detail.Of course, Mrs. Wei's family disagreed, but she let her son in as a concubine after being pestered by her precious son.Wei Jinghong thinks it's okay when he thinks about it. The girl's status is too low. If she is a concubine, she should be a concubine. Besides, he can pamper her more to make up for it.The discussions between the two women were in full swing, and they completely forgot whether the girl was willing or not.It wasn't until the follower who inquired about the situation came back to report that the girl was already a widow at such a young age, and she had already vowed never to remarry and stay chaste to the end.Mrs. Wei's family was left speechless by her son's oolong incident. She turned to stare at her son, only to find that his eyes were dull, his face was pale, and his whole body was stiff. Mrs. Wei cried out in shock.

After inviting a doctor to take an injection in the pulse, Wei Jinghong still looked like he had been hit hard by a broken relationship.Of course, first love is still so beautiful, but the spoiled Young Master Wei naturally couldn't bear it when he fell in love.Seeing that Mrs. Wei was distressed, she made a domineering decision to tie the girl here even if she was tied, and let her son have a taste of his long-cherished wish.In Jiaxing City, her son would have to afford a girl, but he was just a widow, not a married woman.Besides, a girl from an ordinary family, how could she be so hypocritical.Call the housekeeper's wife, take the man and go to the girl's house.

Mrs. Wei also thought about it. After all, it is still better to accept the girl to serve her son. It is better to be willing, and she also told the lady in charge to "be polite first and then soldier".There is a saying that if a monk with a crooked mouth recites crooked scriptures, he will not be able to correct himself.The women in charge entered the girl's door aggressively, saw the dilapidated courtyard, and the timid and cowardly head of the family, they were scornful, and they didn't have the time to "courteously", and directly announced the result: their second young master of the Wei family took a fancy to her. You girls are here, come pick me up in two days.Then he left like a gust of wind, leaving behind a terrified family.

The lady in charge came back and reported: "The girl's family was so happy that she agreed, and they all said it was a blessing from several lifetimes of cultivation."Mrs. Wei was very satisfied, so she said, poor people, if they can earn a living, it is good, so why pay so much attention to it.She didn't want to force women or anything, she knew that the world is not easy, but she thinks that their Wei family is a kind and good family, and her second son is gentle and considerate with a good temper, and a young girl who is full of confidence wants to marry him. It's not so easy to be a widow for a lifetime, it's better to be with his son.

As soon as Mrs. Wei told her son, Wei Jinghong came back to life instantly.His sweetheart is back again, and they are about to go to a better life together. Wei Jinghong is so beautiful for a while, he walks with happiness, and he has written a lot of good poems and words.Two days later, the sedan chair for the Wei family came to the door, and the girl also got on the sedan chair dressed up.Due to Wei Jinghong's insistence, although there was no big red wedding banquet, etc., he still prepared a red candle and a cup of wine in a serious manner.

Wei Jinghong lifted the red hijab, and finally saw the soft and beautiful girl whom he had been thinking about these days. She was still so beautiful, and because of today's big day, she put on heavy makeup, which made her more gorgeous and charming.Wei Jinghong was so amazed for a moment that he was speechless. He didn't know what to say or do to express his joy at the moment.But the girl had her own idea, so she stood up automatically and asked, "What do you like about me?"

Wei Jinghong was stunned, then thought for a while, and said falteringly: "Girl...you can sing well, and you look good too."

The girl suddenly took out a pair of scissors from her bosom, and said, "It turned out to be the fault of the throat." With some force, the tip of the scissors entered the girl's neck, and a stream of bright red blood splashed onto Wei Jinghong's face. superior.

Wei Jinghong became sluggish, drunk, and stunned, and finally hanged himself on another rainy day...

Mr. Tao learned the lessons from his senior disciples, and he made strict demands on his later disciples, not only to be good at Chinese studies, but also to be good at law studies, arithmetic and so on.Quotations from Mr. Tao: If you learn more, more, and more deeply, you will not have so much time and so much leisure.

Sure enough, under such an educational philosophy, the second apprentice Shen Zongyuan was not only knowledgeable, but also down-to-earth and upright.It's just that there is another negative effect, perhaps because he is too knowledgeable and knows everything, so he doesn't have the time and energy to delve into classics and Chinese studies. Anyway, Shen Zongyuan barely passed the Jinshi exam until he became a grandfather, and he is still at the bottom of the car.When it came to Lin Ruhai, the third apprentice, Mr. Tao had a lot of experience this time, so he first asked the younger apprentice if he was going to take the exam to become an official, and he focused on the key points to make a surprise attack, and assisted in other subjects.Then Lin Ruhai became a Tanhualang, and became Jane's powerful figure in the emperor's heart.

Now, Lin Ruhai's sons can study and go to school. If he wants to choose a good teacher for his sons, he will naturally find someone he knows well.It’s just that Mr. Tao has already left Hexi, so there’s no other way. Fortunately, Lin Ruhai also has a second senior brother who knows everything. This second senior brother happens to be still in the capital, so Lin Ruhai decided to entrust his sons’ studies to Second senior brother.

Lin Ruhai's relationship with his second senior brother is still very good, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are both father and brother.When Lin Ruhai first started, Mr. Tao was in his seventies. Although he was still healthy, he did not have enough energy, so he had to arrange for the second apprentice who was already a high school student to bring the third apprentice who was a primary school student.As an aside, Lin Ruhai's father had a close relationship with Mr. Tao, and before leaving, he left Lin Ruhai to Mr. Tao, considering that his son's major academic affairs had not yet been settled.

Shen Zongyuan has a strong sense of responsibility, and has the habit of nagging and managing things as an "aunt". Since he was entrusted by his master to take good care of his juniors, he is conscientious and conscientious.Lin Ruhai's mourning over the loss of his father has been completely suppressed by the control. Every day, he only hopes to finish the task of the second senior brother "much faster", so that he can breathe a sigh of relief, or go out to play for a while. .The two seniors fought wits and courage every day like this, leading a wonderful but boring school life.

Later, after Shen Zongyuan's official career was not so smooth, he simply resigned from office and started a school. Now not to mention the peaches and plums all over the world, there are rows of disciples and apprentices.Let me add another digression, Shen Zongyuan's problem of "being good at being a teacher" probably started from Lin Ruhai.
