Reform from Jia She

"Injustice?"

Lin Yan covered the wooden box, put him on the bedside, took a breath, and slowly told the past.

This incident started more than 30 years ago. At that time, Dow was just pregnant and suffered from severe morning sickness. Every time he vomited, he felt embarrassed. Dow didn't want Lin Yan to see her ugly appearance, so he didn't let Lin Yan with her. sleep together.

At first, Lin Yan slept in the study and lived in peace for a while.

One night, a servant girl brought a cup of soup in the name of Tao, and something happened to Lin Yan after drinking it.

It was soup for a night of fun, and the maid climbed into Lin Yan's bed that night.

Afterwards, Lin Yan was very angry and wanted to sell this maid, but this maid was the daughter of the chief manager of the mansion, and she married the old lady's confidant as dowry. The matter was dealt with by the chief executive and his wife, and the big thing was turned into a small thing, and the maid became Lin Yan's roommate.

For the Hou Mansion, it was nothing more than a roommate. Lin Yan and his wife had a good relationship. It was impossible for the old man and the old lady to let Lin Yan guard his wife like a jade.

This incident was soon found out by Tao Shi, and Tao Shi was naturally unhappy, but she had no position to attack, so she could only endure it.

Because of this connection, the relationship between Lin Yan and Dow also cracked.

Lin Yan tried his best to win back Tao Shi's heart, but at this moment, the housemaid was pregnant.

The Lin family's children are weak, and the old man and the old lady were very happy that this maid was pregnant, and even gave them a life insurance.

Because of this incident, the newly eased relationship between Lin Yan and Dow dropped to freezing point again.

The Tao family gave birth to the eldest son at the beginning of the year, and at the end of the Tongfang year, the second son of the Lin family was born. In ordinary noble families, Tongfang who gave birth to a child will mention his status, although no matter how much he mentions his status, he is just a concubine. .

However, because the child was disgraceful and was not liked by Lin Yan, even if the old man and the old lady mentioned it, Lin Yan rejected it.

Although Lin Yan hated the Tongfang very much, this child, even if he was born of a concubine, was his son after all, so he wouldn't ignore it, but he wouldn't deduct what he should have.

The two children gradually grew up, and this bastard was better at reading than Lin Ji. Although Tao didn't like this bastard, he didn't deliberately suppress him, but this bastard was misled by his mother, and he felt that Tao This mistress will kill him.

In this way, when the two children were ten years old, the bastard pushed Lin Ji into the pond in the mansion in the ice and snow.

It was freezing cold, and Lin Ji had just caught a cold and hadn't recovered yet. He fell into the pond and was almost drowned. Even though the people around Lin Ji found out in time and rescued Lin Ji, Lin Ji still fell seriously ill. , was in a coma for several days and did not wake up.

Because Lin Ji hadn't woken up, others only thought that Lin Ji fell into the pond by himself, and didn't think much about it.

Until Lin Ji woke up half a month later, Lin Ji insisted on drinking the medicine by himself, but because of his lack of strength, he overturned the medicine, and the medicine juice spilled on the ground and corroded the ground, Lin Ji was so frightened that his face turned pale .

At that time, Dow was by his son's side, and when he saw this, his face turned ashen, so he asked people to investigate thoroughly.

If it wasn't for Lin Ji insisting on drinking the medicine by himself, and knocking over the medicine, he would have died on the spot with this bowl of medicine, and there was no way to save him.

Lin Yan was furious about poisoning the eldest son of the heir in the mansion, and ordered a search of the entire Marquis mansion, and finally found solid evidence in the house that connected the house. In addition, Lin Ji said that he was pushed to In the pond, Lin Yan was so angry that he was about to turn him over to the government for disposal.

But at that time, Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin rushed over, saying that the family ugliness should not be publicized, and that it would be fine to deal with it behind closed doors, and make trouble in the government. Wouldn't this make everyone in the capital see the Lin family as a joke?

Although Tao hated the mother and son very much, he still agreed with what the in-laws said, and he also persuaded Lin Yan to close the door and deal with it.

Lin Yan calmed down and did not insist on sending him to the government, but he demanded that Tong Fang must die. Not only that, but all Tong Fang's parents would also be sold. The Lin family could not afford such servants.

As for the concubine, Lin Yan really couldn't do anything about killing the son, and he couldn't explain it if he didn't deal with it, so he asked Lin Ji what he meant.

At that time, Lin Ji was still young, and some of his ideas were naive. He thought that his brother had been misled by his mother, and if he taught him well, it might not be impossible to save him.

After discussing with his son, Lin Yan decided to declare to the public that the concubine had died, but secretly sent the concubine far away.

Even if this child comes back one day in the future, it is impossible for him to become a descendant of the Lin family, because he is already a 'dead man'.

It has been more than [-] years since the incident at the beginning, and neither Lin Yan nor Lin Ji has heard of the child anymore. The incident between the two of them ended early, but they did not expect that the incident did not end at all. .

That child resented the Lin family, and he wanted to take revenge on the Lin family and make the Lin family die completely.

Lin Ruhai never imagined that such a thing happened decades ago.

He opened his mouth. All the methods he had thought up before were stillborn. In this situation, it was really difficult for him to intervene. Anyway, that person was his uncle.

"I will ask Ming Jiang to help find him. This matter... should be settled." Lin Yan closed his eyes and said.

The benevolence of the first thought almost wiped out the whole Lin family, and the last bit of kindness in his heart was wiped out.

With Lin Yan's accurate words, Tao Shi's face looked much better than before, but it was not much better.

Lin Ji's mind was in a mess, and he left the main room with Mrs. Huang holding the wooden box.

Lin Ruhai looked at his grandfather and then at his grandmother, and got up to leave.

Back at his residence, Lin Ruhai was still thinking about what happened back then, and the root of this incident was still in that maid.

He didn't understand what his grandfather was thinking. Since that maid could do such an obscene thing, it proved that her character was extremely bad. Why did grandfather let such a person raise a child?Even if she gave birth to her, she was just a maidservant, so what vision could she have?

Although he was confused in every way, after all, the incident had passed for several years, and he had never really experienced those incidents. Naturally, he didn't know what his grandfather's situation was at that time, so he could only suppress his doubts for the time being.

The next day, Divine Doctor Lin began to detoxify everyone in the Lin family. Lin Yan's poison had already penetrated into the lungs. To detoxify, acupuncture was required. Except for Lin Yan, everyone only needed to drink the medicine on time.

In the blink of an eye, three or four months have passed.

Rongguo Mansion added Sun, and handed over a post asking Lin's family to participate in the San San.

On the third day of the fifth lunar month, Lin Ji took his wife and Lin Ruhai to the Rongguo Mansion to congratulate Duke Rong on his new grandson.

Lin Ruhai was a junior, after paying respects to Duke Rong and Mrs. Rong Guo, he withdrew from the main room and bumped into Jia She as soon as he came out.

"Enhou, long time no see, I haven't congratulated you on getting a son. Congratulations!" Lin Ruhai smiled and cupped his hands.

Although he didn't think much of the eldest son of the Jia family, he was the future brother-in-law after all, so he had to give three points of face no matter what.

Jia Amnesty didn't care anymore, after all, he was the son of the Duke's Mansion, so he still had the courtesy he should have.

After exchanging pleasantries with each other, Lin Ruhai learned the name of Jia She's eldest son from Jia She, who was named Jia Hu by Duke Rong.

"Jia Hu...a good name." Lin Ruhai praised.

Jia Amnesty didn't really understand the advantages of this name, but since Lin Ruhai praised it out loud, he wouldn't say anything embarrassing.

"Why don't you see Cunzhou?"

Mentioning his second brother, the smile on Jia Amnesty's face faded, "Second brother, he went back to Jinling to take the exam at the beginning of the year, and he just got a letter from his second brother a few days ago. He has passed the government examination, and he plans to take the exam The examination of this subject."

Lin Ruhai has been detoxifying at home for the past few months, but he really didn't know that Jia Zheng had gone back to his hometown to take the exam.

"So that's it," Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "Brother Cun Zhou has a very good foundation, so there shouldn't be any problem passing the examination."

Jia Amnesty smiled dryly, "Really?"

He has no interest in studying for the imperial examination, but it doesn't stop him from being jealous of the favor his second brother got because of it, and now he even feels a little bit disliked towards Lin Ruhai.

He is with his second brother, so there is not much to say.

Jia Amnesty's enthusiasm faded, and after a while, he separated from Lin Ruhai on the pretext of entertaining guests.

That is to say, but Lin Ruhai is not blind, how can he not see the change in Jia She's attitude, he sighed slightly in his heart, Enhou's temperament is really far worse than that of Cunzhou.

After the three baptisms, Lin Ruhai went back home with his parents and did not stay in Jia's house.

After more than a month, the remaining poison in the bodies of Lin Ji and his wife and Lin Ruhai was completely eliminated, and only Lin Yan and his wife in the mansion had the remaining poison in their bodies.

The weather gradually became hotter, Lin Ruhai began to study behind closed doors, and occasionally went out to participate in poetry gatherings, and his life was dull and stable.

At the end of September, Jia Zheng returned from Jinling.

I heard that he passed the hospital examination and ranked third. Although he is not the top of the case, this ranking is not bad.

As soon as Jia Zheng returned to Beijing, the Rongguo Mansion held a family banquet to celebrate.

In early October, Jia Zheng came to Lin's mansion to meet Lin Ruhai.

"Ruhai, do you plan to take the provincial examination next year?"

Lin Ruhai was holding a book in his hand, and when he heard this question, he couldn't help but glance at him, "Cunzhou wants to take part in the provincial examination next year?"

"I just want to give it a try, but it's not a problem. If I can pass it, it will make my father happy for a few days." Recently, Jia Zheng discovered that his father's illness seemed to have improved because he passed the examination of scholar.

Lin Ruhai put down the book in his hand and poured Jia Zheng a glass of water, "I think you've been a little out of your mind these days, drink some water to calm your mind for a while."

This is to disapprove of Jia Zheng's return to his hometown to take the exam.

"You feel bad?"

Lin Ruhai poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and then said leisurely, "I know your level well. There is nothing wrong with being a scholar in the exam, but now if you want to take the provincial exam, even if you can pass it, your ranking will not be good. Why are you doing this?"

Hearing this, Jia Zheng was silent.

After a while, Jia Zheng asked him, "You should go back to your hometown to take the exam, right?"

"It's natural."

Jia Zheng was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Mother wants me to marry a girl from the Wang family before the year."

"Ms. Wang's family is old enough. It's not wrong for Lingtang to wish you to get married. Didn't you go to enjoy lanterns with Miss Wang's family during the Lantern Festival? Why don't you want to get married now." Lin Ruhai asked strangely.

Jia Zheng shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to get married, I just think it's too early."
