Reform from Jia She

Jia Min has always been smart, and seeing Lin Ruhai's complexion changed, she couldn't help feeling suspicious, but she didn't want to ask more questions, so she had to suppress her doubts for the time being, then changed the subject, and said, "I heard that Lord Hou is seriously ill, I don't know if it's better now?"

This topic really hit the point. Lin Ruhai was still young after all, and his complexion changed slightly when he heard the words. Although he quickly covered it up, Jia Min could still see it clearly.

Jia Min's heart skipped a beat, and she remembered what she said just now. The seriously ill Marquis Wen Yuan was mentioned in her words, and the change in Lin Ruhai's expression began when she mentioned Marquis Wen Yuan.

Could it be... Marquis Wenyuan's condition is very serious?

"Grandfather's condition is not very good," Lin Ruhai replied casually, then raised his head to look at the river lamp seller on the street, "Shall we also buy two to put river lamps on?"

Jia Min saw that Lin Ruhai didn't want to mention more about Lord Hou's serious illness, and although she was a little worried, since Lin Ruhai didn't want to mention more, since this is a sensitive topic, she naturally wouldn't continue to ask questions ignorantly.

"Okay."

Lin Ruhai bought two river lanterns and gave one to Jia Min. The two walked to the river where there were few people, lit the river lanterns, and put them in the river. Watching the river lanterns drifting away, the two stood side by side by the river, He didn't speak for a while.

"Benevolence! Brother Ruhai!"

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min set off the river lanterns, and were about to find a place to rest for a while, when they suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him, calling his words, they couldn't help but stop, and when they looked back, they were stunned. .

The person who came was indeed an acquaintance, Yue Shijie from Yuhang County who was rescued by him and Cunzhou.

Beside Yue Shijie, Sun Yunrong and two attendants followed.

Jia Min stood beside Lin Ruhai, followed Lin Ruhai's gaze, and also saw these two people. His eyes were on Lin Ruhai and the two young masters, but he didn't interrupt.

"Mr. Yue, Mr. Sun, when did you come to the capital? Don't tell me when you come to the capital." Lin Ruhai bowed his hands and said with a smile.

Yue Shijie and Sun Yunrong returned the salute, and then said, "It's the Chinese New Year holidays, how dare you come to disturb me, but I didn't expect to see my benefactor before leaving Beijing."

"Don't call me benefactor, I didn't save you in the first place to repay your favor," Lin Ruhai said, and then said, "Didn't you come to Beijing this time to take an exam?"

Yue Shijie smiled wryly when he heard the words, "Although I have cleared my grievances and regained my fame last time, I am only a scholar. The provincial examination is still next year. We have other important matters to go to Beijing this time."

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai didn't ask any further questions, since it was an important matter, it was naturally inconvenient for him to ask more.

"Is the matter over?" You can't ask what it is, but you can ask about other things.

Yue Shijie smiled and said, "It's over, benefactor, don't worry."

"Mr. Yue, please call me by my name. Calling me like this makes me feel very ashamed. I didn't do anything. It is Mr. Zhen, the magistrate of Hangzhou, who helped you clear up your grievances. It is this Mr. Sun who collected witnesses and evidence for you. It's just a little help, I really can't afford this kind of benefactor."

When Jia Min at the side heard this, he understood who these Young Master Yue and Young Master Sun were, presumably they were the two Yuhang scholars who were persecuted by her second brother.

Yue Shijie shook his head and said, "That can't be said that way. If it wasn't for Engong who rescued me, I would have lost my life. How can we talk about clearing up my grievances and restoring my innocence? Besides, Master Zhen was deceived back then. If it wasn't for Engong and Jia Ergong Help me to speak, I am afraid I will be silenced before I have time to complain, Yunrong is also in danger here, without Mr. En and Mr. Jia rushing to Yuhang overnight, even if Yunrong has evidence to prove my innocence, Yunrong has no chance at all Take it out, benefactor really doesn't need to be humble."

"Brother Shijie is talking about exactly this reasoning. Speaking of it, I also want to thank Mr. Lin for helping me and my whole family." Sun Yunrong said seriously with a deep salute.

Lin Ruhai said helplessly, "Forget it, it's up to you, but the word 'engong' sounds really awkward to me, if you two don't mind, you can call me by my name," he added, without waiting for Yue Shijie to speak again , "Could it be that if you don't call me benefactor, you don't regard me as benefactor in your heart?"

How can I answer this?Yue Shijie begged for mercy, "How dare you? Brother Ruhai has broken me."

"Meeting is fate, let's go have a cup of tea together?" After saying that, he suddenly realized something, he suddenly turned his head, and met a pair of watery eyes, which were full of accusations.

Lin Ruhai: "..." Oops, I forgot about my fiancee.

"Brother Ruhai, this son is..." Lin Ruhai turned his head suddenly, making Yue Shijie and Sun Yunrong also look at Jia Min. They had actually seen Jia Min a long time ago, but Jia Min didn't interject, nor did he greet him. Standing silently by the side, they couldn't say hello hastily. Now that Lin Ruhai noticed the young master beside him, they naturally took the opportunity to ask.

The corner of Lin Ruhai's mouth twitched, he cleared his throat, suppressed the embarrassment in his heart, and introduced, "This... is Cun Zhou's younger brother, you can just call him Mr. Jia."

"So it's brother Cun Zhou's younger brother, I'm being rude," Yue Shijie suddenly realized, and he said that this young master looked somewhat familiar.

Jia Min laughed and saluted gracefully, "Jia Qiming."

"Young Master Jia, why haven't you seen your brother?" Yue Shijie asked.

Jia Min said, "Brother went to watch the river lantern with a friend, and now I don't know where he went, Mr. Yue, do you have something to say to my brother?"

"It's nothing, I wanted to thank you at first, but this time I came to the capital in a hurry and I was not prepared. When I go to the capital next time, I must come to thank Brother Cun Zhou with a generous gift." Yue Shijie cupped his hands.

Jia Min smiled, "I'll convey Mr. Yue's thanks to my elder brother, so I don't need such a generous gift, as long as I care about it."

Yue Shijie didn't say much, after all, he was not familiar with Jia Min.

Lin Ruhai opened his mouth again and proposed to go to the teahouse for a drink. Yue Shijie just wanted to agree, but he felt that Sun Yunrong beside him touched him lightly.

Although he didn't know what it meant, but after the two had known each other for several years, he immediately understood Sun Yunrong's hint, and immediately rejected Lin Ruhai's invitation, "Yunrong and I have something to do, so don't bother."

When Lin Ruhai heard the words, he didn't force it. The two sides said goodbye. Lin Ruhai took Jia Min to go first.

After the two had gone far away, Yue Shijie came to ask Sun Yunrong, "Why did you remind me to refuse just now?"

"The young master next to Mr. Lin has pierced ears." This is a tactful statement, but the meaning of the words is already very clear.

Yue Shijie was startled, "That's a..." girl?

Sun Yunrong said thoughtfully, "I heard that Mr. Lin had an engagement with Mr. Rong's daughter-in-law. Isn't that little Mr. Jia's younger brother just now? As far as I know, Mr. Jia only has a younger sister and younger brother only The cousin in the next room."

Therefore, the answer is already obvious, the young master who is with Lin Ruhai is actually Lin Ruhai's unmarried wife, Miss Jia.

If they really agreed to go down to drink tea just now, they would be too ignorant.

Yue Shijie figured this out, and couldn't help shaking his head, "Shangyuan Festival, it's really a good day to meet beauties."

"Come on, let's go back too, rest early, and go home early tomorrow."

The two walked away after saying this, and Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were also talking about Yue Shijie and Sun Yunrong.

"These two sons are people who know how to repay their kindness." Jia Min thought he had a good eye for people, and neither Yue Shijie nor Sun Yunrong seemed to be the kind of bad guys who were duplicity.

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "If they are bad people, Cun Zhou and I will naturally not save them."

"That's true." Jia Min smiled when he heard the words, "Speaking of which, this time the second brother went south with you to study, and even the father praised the second brother for his great progress."

It's not about learning, but about being a human being.

Lin Ruhai also laughed, "Father also said that I have improved a lot after returning from this study tour."

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and met Jia Zheng and Miss Wang's family on the way. What they didn't expect was that there was a man and a woman beside Jia Zheng and Miss Wang, both of whom were wearing veiled hats.

"Ruhai?" Jia Zheng saw Lin Ruhai and Jia Min approaching from a distance, and the slight uneasiness in his heart immediately dissipated, "We are going to sit in a teahouse for a while, do you want to go together?"

"Ruhai? But Wen Yuanhou's grandson, Lin Ruhai?" The young man next to Jia Zheng immediately looked over and asked Jia Zheng for confirmation.

Jia Zheng nodded, "It's him."

The young master immediately bowed his hands to Lin Ruhai, "I'm Xue Xin from the Xue family in Jinling. I've heard about Brother Ruhai's name for a long time. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Jinling Xue family?Lin Ruhai immediately understood the identity of this person, "It's a pleasure to meet you, the original eldest son of the Xue family."

"This young master is..." After Xue Xin and Lin Ruhai greeted each other, they noticed the little young master next to Lin Ruhai. At first glance, he felt that this young master looked familiar.

Lin Ruhai suddenly felt his scalp go numb. Looking at the two opposite, they were all out in women's clothing and wearing a veiled hat. The one next to him was much different, a woman disguised as a man...

Seeing Lin Ruhai's embarrassment, Jia Zheng hurriedly said, "This is my younger brother, Jia Qiming, all right, let's go to the teahouse for tea."

Xue Xin looked at Jia Zheng suspiciously. Although he felt a little strange, he didn't question him ignorantly.

I just couldn't help thinking, which brother of Jia Zheng is this Mr. Jia?cousin?Ningguo Mansion or Rongguo Mansion?

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't have any impression, so he stopped paying attention to Jia Min, and his more attention was still on Lin Ruhai. After he found a private room in the teahouse and sat down, Xue Xin kept asking Lin Ruhai for advice, no matter what questions he asked. , Lin Ruhai couldn't be bothered.

After some conversations, Xue Xin felt a bit of admiration for Lin Ruhai, "Brother Ruhai is really knowledgeable, I feel ashamed."

His Xue family is also a family of poets and books, and he considers himself a family of scholars and officials, but for Shang Lin Ruhai, his foundation is still not enough.

Jia Zheng naturally knew that Xue Xin was a little dissatisfied with Lin Ruhai at first, and he said he was asking for advice, but in fact he intended to make things difficult for Lin Ruhai, but in the end he couldn't confuse Lin Ruhai. Yes, in another two years, maybe I will be able to go to high school, and ordinary people like me will be out of reach."
