[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

Golden autumn brings coolness, ten miles of cinnamon.A round of bright moon was hanging in the middle of the sky, in a small pavilion in the yard of Lin’s house, the inspector of salt in Yangzhou, I saw a little boy wearing a stone-blue jade brocade jacket sitting on a stone bench, and the opposite was exactly the time. Lin Ruhai, who served as the censor of salt.The butler Lin Fu stood on one side, and from a distance, he saw Jia Min, the wife of the Lin family, walking towards this side.

Before Jia Min approached, the little boy sitting on the stone bench had already respectfully greeted him at the bottom of the small pavilion, and when he was standing on the steps under the pavilion, he bent down to say hello, "May my wife be well, my wife is well. "

"Brother Ze is more courteous now." With a gentle smile on the corner of Jia Min's mouth, he led Lin Ze to the small pavilion.Seeing several plates of melons and fruits and a pot of wine on the stone table, Jia Min covered her lips and smiled. "My master is in such a good mood tonight. I haven't had a drink at this time for a long time. I don't know why I am so interested today?"

Here, Lin Ruhai also smiled loudly when he heard the words, and glanced at his son who is now more and more respectful and well-mannered, and then thought of his daughter who is more than two years old, but can already see that she will be good-looking in the future, and she feels more and more proud .He personally picked up the jug and poured a glass for Jia Min.There was a smile on the corner of his lips, but he didn't speak.

"It's cool and windy at night, and the master is in high spirits, but it's unavoidable for Brother Ze to catch the wind here. If he catches a cold for a while, it's not for fun." Among the maids who followed behind him, a girl named Lu Rou Putting on Lin Ze the fur cloak brought by Tete in his hand, he said: "Master, it seems that I have to stay here for a while. Brother Ze has class tomorrow, so don't miss it. Lu Rou, you can send it off first." Brother Ze, let's go back."

Lurou hurriedly put the gray cloak in her hand on Lin Ze's body, and tied the rope around the neckline carefully, then said goodbye to Lin Ruhai and his wife, and sent Lin Ze to his courtyard.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were sitting together, and they both looked at Lin Zeyuan's back with a smile on his face. The little man was wearing a fur cloak with silver-white fur around his neckline, which made Lin Zeyuan even more attractive. Zhang Xiao's face is carved in powder and made of jade, which is really beautiful.

"Let me also say that Brother Ze grew up well when he was a child. It was only when the master brought him back, and his small body was wrapped in a small jacket, and he looked so good. Now, it has only been two or three years. , it looks even more beautiful." Jia Min praised with a smile, her words filled with a motherly heart.Thinking about it, although this Lin Ze was not born from her stomach, it was still recorded in her own name. When she was carried back, she was such a small person. How could she remember anything? Ever since she came to the mansion, she was still single-minded. Treat her and the master as their own parents.

What Jia Min said made Lin Ruhai feel dazed.Can't help but think of that moonlit night three years ago.

Lin Ruhai took only the housekeeper Lin Fu to the Shantang that night, and when he came out of the Shantang, Lin Fu saw his master was holding a one-year-old baby in his arms.The little face was still flushed, and a pair of bright eyes looked around energetically.Although Lin Fu wondered about the origin of this child, he fell in love with this child from the first sight.

Then, Lin Ruhai asked him to keep quiet. At this time, the two quietly returned to the mansion, hiding everything about this meeting in their hearts.Lin Fu went to the wife's room as soon as the master returned to the house, knowing that the master was taking the child to explain to his wife.I just warned myself again and again in my heart, don't say what shouldn't be said, just pretend it never happened.The master has his own arrangements, he is a slave, but he doesn't need to explore anything.

Sure enough, only two days later, Gusu Lao Lin's family sent someone over.

As soon as Lin Fu saw the person coming, he understood most of it in his heart.He has been with the master since he was a child, and the Lin family in Gusu is the one with the scarcity of offspring. How can anyone be so eager to adopt a child to their family now.But Lin Fu thought about it in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

Within a few days about the adoptive heir of the Lin family in Gusu, many unfavorable words for the wife spread in the house.

It is said that the wife has been in the house for many years and has nothing to come out. The master's knees are desolate, and he doesn't even have a concubine. It can be seen that the wife is unkind.Others said that the master is getting older now, and although he can't speak frankly to his first wife, he has found another heir from the Lao Lin family in Gusu to adopt him. I'm afraid there will be rifts between him and his wife in the future.Some people made a fuss about the child, and only spread a lot of absurd words, and some said that the child was probably born by the master's aunt outside, and now there is nothing in the mansion, so the master moved his mind to take the child away. I took it back.

The master didn't hear these rumors at all, and he didn't dare anyone to pass the rumors to Lin Ruhai's ears.

Lin Fu knew that most of these rumors came from the aunts in the backyard.These aunts are also getting older. In the past years, when they were beautiful, they could only see the loving couple of the master and his wife, but they were lonely and deserted here. Even if the master came to their yard, it was mostly just a formality, let alone Heir.

But now I see that my wife has not given birth to the master for so many years, and this is the wife who has always been close to the master!These aunts have long been unwilling to reconcile, but now that the master suddenly recognized a brother and came back, their hearts became more alive, and they sent the mothers around them to disperse no matter how bad they said.Even if it doesn't hurt the wife in the slightest, at least it makes the wife feel uncomfortable.Who doesn't know that women are the most anxious if they can't conceive an heir. Their words are spread because they want their wives to lose their temper. If they can quarrel with the master about this matter, it would be best if the harmony between husband and wife is broken But no more.

But who would have thought that for this matter, Jia Min really didn't question Lin Ruhai.

Just because, after returning from that night, Lin Ruhai held the child and talked to her all night.This child is only recorded in her name, and all food and clothing expenses are compared with that of a legitimate son.When she heard this that night, she was also shocked, fearing that the child was hidden by the master outside, and now she recognizes her ancestors and returns to the clan so that she can inherit the family business in the future.But who knows, Lin Ruhai only said that this child is the adopted son of the Lin family, and that this child is a good one, and must be taken care of properly, so don't wait too long.

Jia Min is a smart person, so he didn't understand what he said, but he was afraid that the child's background was still old.Seeing the meaning of the master's words, she refused to say anything more, so she had to comprehend it herself.He looked down and saw that the child was really cute, with a small powdery face, and the round black eyes were extremely clear. Jia Min's knees had been desolate for many years, and he was just a loving mother. He was used to children from other wives' families She thinks it's cute, now that the master recognizes such a painful child for her, how can she still feel the slightest bit of displeasure when she just heard it.

It's just that thinking of that screwdriver is restless.Jia Min briefly mentioned these inconspicuous rumors in the backyard, and Lin Ruhai just said lightly, "You are a concubine, you have to put on the airs of being the wife of the house, and some of you are in a hurry to deal with it yourself. There is no need to ask."These words really made Jia Min feel at ease. After Lin Ze officially admitted to Jia Min's name, Jia Min dealt with a group of bad-mouthed old women severely, and broke out some restless maids.

Now, the aunts in the backyard also stopped, and they didn't dare to talk about Lin Ze anymore.Lin Ze was also able to live peacefully for the past two or three years. This is what he said, so it goes without saying.

Then, less than half a year later, Jia Min was diagnosed as pregnant.This Coke spoiled Jia Min, and Lin Ruhai was also happy.Although Lin Ze is also a good person, after all, he is not his own. Now that Jia Min is pregnant, both men and women are his own flesh and blood. How can Lin Ruhai be unhappy.And the aunts in the backyard hated it even more, thinking that the wife hadn't conceived for so many years, so she just recognized a son and became pregnant with flesh and blood, but how could she be so lucky?

Jia Min couldn't help but think of Lin Ze's cute appearance when he was young, and he had some thoughts in his mind. When Lin Ruhai came to see her, he said to Lin Ruhai: "I'll see, It turned out that Brother Ze came, and I became pregnant. This is a great joy for our family, and it is also a blessing brought by Brother Ze. The master often said that I should treat Brother Ze well. I thought, this child He is a blessed one, and our family will be taken care of by brother Ze in the future. In my opinion, don’t consider him as an adopted son, but as your own son.”

Lin Ruhai was also happy when he heard this.Lin Ze played well.Not to mention that Jia Min and other female relatives are happy to see them, even he also finds them lovely and lovely.Now after listening to Jia Min's words, I also think that this child is indeed excellent, and it is wronged him to think of him as an adopted son.But if you recognize him as your parent and child, you are afraid of the one in the future...

He just shook his head and sighed.Although Jia Min's suggestion was refuted, she honestly believed that the child in her womb must have been brought about by Lin Ze's blessing.Therefore, in the future, he will treat Lin Ze more attentively, and Lin Ze will treat her more filially.This is something for later, let's not mention it for now.

"Sister Lurou, is my sister asleep?"

To go to Lin Ze's courtyard, one must pass through the main courtyard.Seeing that the room in the main courtyard was still lighted, Lin Ze frowned slightly. Thinking of Daiyu's usual frail body, he felt a little angry.This time the maid became more and more unruly, and it was so late that she still didn't coax Daiyu to sleep.

Lin Ze was slightly angry in his heart, and his face sank unconsciously.

Lurou raised her eyes and saw that those filthy old women were lucky not to be here today, so as not to spoil the uncle's eyes.Thinking of the time before my wife went out, she hugged and joked with my sister for a while, and before leaving, she told Nanny Wang that she must take care of her to rest early.It seems that Mother Wang's heart is getting bigger and bigger, and she doesn't even pay attention to his wife.Now that the uncle bumped into her, let's see what else she has to say.
