[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family
Chapter 34 Lin Ruhai was worried about naming his name and refuted his mother's wishes
Lin Ruhai stared at the big string of characters on the paper, and felt a pain in the corner of his forehead, ouch, it's really difficult to name my son.The vermilion pen in his hand had been hanging for a quarter of an hour, but looking at the words on the paper, Lin Ruhai sighed, what should I do? Is it so difficult to come up with a name?
"Master, Mr. Shen is here."
"Come in quickly."
As soon as Shui Zhan entered the door, he saw the distress on Lin Ruhai's face that hadn't put away.Glancing at the large paper lying on the desk, Shui Zhan curled his lips, he already guessed what troubled this middle-aged beauty Tanhua.But seeing Lin Ruhai quickly put on a gentle smile, Shui Zhan's smile deepened.Since people didn't intend to confide this trouble to him, he just pretended not to see it.
"Why is Your Highness the Third Highness here today? It's such a hot day outside, and it's not good to suffer from heatstroke." Hearing the constant sound of cicadas outside the study, and seeing the half-smile on Shui Zhan's face, Lin Ruhai rubbed his nose , stopped talking a little embarrassingly.It seems that the Third Highness has something to say to himself, hey, it must have something to do with Ze'er.
Seeing Lin Ruhai's expression changed slightly, Shui Zhan didn't take it too seriously, after all, the one standing in front of him was his father's best friend in his heart.Although the identities are somewhat different, but when we met in Wei back then, the relationship was very different after the father came to the throne.Otherwise, can you entrust the little Jiu'er who is holding you in your heart to Lin Ruhai!
"I have been in Yangzhou for a while. Although I live in the mansion every day, it is not that I don't know anything else." Shui Zhan's eyelids drooped slightly, and he only looked down at the white porcelain teacup in his hand, as if I want to see some patterns on the teacup without any pattern.Hearing what he said, Lin Ruhai's face straightened immediately, and he sat down and listened quietly.But Shui Zhan didn't look at him, and just continued to say indifferently: "Master Lin is in charge of the Jiangnan Salt Class, and my father is also the most important thing to Master Lin. There is only one thing, the Jiangnan Zhen family..."
As he spoke, he stopped talking and refused to speak any more.
But Lin Ruhai understood, stood up quickly and said, "What did the Third Highness say? I have never concealed anything about the Zhen family." Listening to Shui Zhan's point-and-click words, Lin Ruhai is not a stupid person. Naturally, he knew that Shui Zhan's words were because he was afraid that he would hide something from the Zhen family because of the Yue family, but after taking the throne today, those old officials still looked confused, Lin Ruhai was powerless even though he wanted to.
"That would be the best." Smiling, Shui Zhan put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "I think Mrs. Lin still has something to do here, Mrs. Madam gave birth not long ago, and if you want to come to the mansion, you need to take care of all the big and small matters. Here I am It doesn’t take many people to serve.”
"Third Highness's remark is a shame, now that the dog is living in the Third Highness's room, how should I deal with myself?"
Hearing the word "dog", Shui Zhan's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything.Lin Ruhai, who was bowing his head, felt a chill on his back. When he looked up, he saw a faint smile on Shui Zhan's lips, no different from the past.Because he looked away, he stopped talking.
Shui Zhan sat for a while, then got up and left.After he left, Lin Ruhai realized that his forehead was wet with sweat. Looking at the closed door of the study, he began to be confused, whether it was the right choice to adopt Lin Ze back then.Judging from Shang Shengyi, it seems that he doesn't intend to mention this matter, but in Shui Zhan's words, he pays more attention to Lin Zezhen.Lin Ruhai couldn't help sighing, the Third Highness who came to seek help from him with his infant brother in his arms, has really grown into a prince who can be his own.
Recalling the coldness that flashed in Shui Zhan's eyes when he mentioned Jiangnan Zhen's family, Lin Ruhai frowned.In recent years, Jiangnan Zhen's family has been mobbing frequently, and he sits in the salt class, which is the most sensitive position.Fortunately, he is a pure minister, and he has known Jinshang in the early years, so Jinshang is very relieved to hand over the Yan administration to him.It's just that the Zhen family...
He rubbed his forehead with a headache, his worry-free Yue family has also sent letters frequently recently, saying many plausible things, do you really think he is an idiot?Ningrong Second Mansion's glory today is only due to the military merits of the ancestors, but looking at the descendants of later generations, there is still one soldier who joined the army, even if he stood upright in the court, he could not count one.His second brother-in-law, to put it nicely, was the old man who forced him to write a booklet when the old man passed away, to give the second son a shade who loved to read and liked, so he got the position of a fifth-rank member of the foreign minister, but he himself was not good at going there again. Take the imperial examination all the way.But even so, if he is really talented, why hasn't he been promoted half a step in all these years?
Thinking of that family, Lin Ruhai only felt depressed.
He also mentioned many times in the letter, what did he get in exchange?Those people just don't understand his intentions, instead they criticize him everywhere.What he meant explicitly and secretly was that he is now in charge of the Yanzheng, which is equivalent to holding the emperor's money bag. Why not make it easier for his family?
snort!What about my own family, the Jiangnan Zhen family has been staring at his position as the censor of salt for a day or two. If he really listened to the Yue family's words and did that little "convenience", I'm afraid he would have been caught by the Zhen family long ago. The result!
"Alas..." With a long sigh, Lin Ruhai felt relieved when he thought of Shui Zhan's joy whenever he mentioned Lin Ze.Lin Ze is a good boy. Although he can't tell him about his background, he doesn't want to hide it from his child.Everyone in the house knew that Lin Ze was not his own son, but he was adopted, in order to give himself a way out.It's just that he didn't expect that this child was so sincere, and he would return ten points for being kind to him.
Thinking of the current back house, Jia Min gave birth to a son, Shang Zi, who was overwhelmed with joy and sorrow, and fell ill. Daiyu is only four years old now, even if Jia Min is with the director on weekdays, how can she know housekeeper.Now everything in the house is organized, so it is because of Jia Min's majesty on weekdays, and one more thing, it is Lin Ze's credit.
Glancing at the large paper spread out on the table, Lin Ruhai only felt that the pain in his forehead was getting worse. He had been thinking about it for four or five days, but he still had no clue.When he saw Shui Zhan coming over just now, he wanted to tell something, but seeing Shui Zhan's cold eyes, he gave up this idea.His Highness the Third Highness is now a very dignified person. Although he can still see his smile when he is with Lin Ze on weekdays, when they are alone, he can no longer treat him as the son of an old friend.
"Master, there are people asking Madam, do you want to eat in the house?"
Hearing the boy's report outside the house, Lin Ruhai was startled for a moment, then smiled happily, and said repeatedly: "Go, go, naturally." It seems that Jia Min's body has turned around a lot. It has been a long time, and finally I am in the mood to eat well.Naturally, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but tidy up and went to Jia Min's place.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Lu Rou directing his mother-in-law to pack her things. Lin Ruhai was a little surprised. Jia Min hadn't confinement yet, so why was there such a big commotion?
Seeing Lin Ruhai entered the yard, Lu Rou hurriedly went over to say hello, and when Lin Ruhai asked, she smiled and said, "These are my wife's return gifts to Rongguo Mansion." After speaking, she was about to show Lin Ruhai the list of gifts.Lin Ruhai just waved his hand and said no, he naturally knew that since Jia Min was pregnant, the Yue family had given Jia Min many things to give away, and every time the gifts were "impressive".
Thinking of the two nuns who sent off home, a chill flashed in Lin Ruhai's eyes, hmph, he has really seen what kind of family can raise such tricky and ignorant servants.If it wasn't for Gu Nian Jia Min who was pregnant and the most soft-hearted, how could he let the two women go so lightly, it was really annoying.
Seeing that Lin Ruhai didn't ask for the gift list, Lurou just pursed her lips and smiled, "My wife is waiting for the master in the room, she said she has something to say to the master. The courtyard is in chaos now, so there is no need to disturb the master."
Lin Ruhai knew that Lurou was the most capable person, so she just nodded and smiled and went inside.Lu Rou only glanced at the gift list in her hand, the smile on her lips got bigger and bigger, and she became more energetic when directing the women.In the past, my wife often gave gifts to the Rongguo Mansion, but every time the Rongguo Mansion gave gifts in return, it was so thin, it really made people feel unhappy.But the wife has nothing to say, how can they be so easy to point fingers when they are maids and slaves!But now it's better, my wife is angry now, and she's going to show off to those ignorant people, whoops, can she be unhappy?
But when Lin Ruhai entered the room, he felt refreshed all over his body.Compared with the bitter medicine juice smell that always lingered when I entered the house a few days ago, this smell is more than a little bit better.Seeing Jia Min leaning on the small couch, holding the fan in one hand, and resting the other on the thin blanket around his waist, his elegant face is lightly covered with fat, but it has an indescribable charm.Lin Ruhai smiled, then sat on the side of the couch, smiled and pushed Jia Min with his hands, saw Jia Min opened his eyes with a smile, and said, "Madam sent someone to invite me, isn't that how you treat guests?" As he spoke, he pointed to the thin blanket around Jia Min's waist and the silver silk embroidered flower pattern colorful butterfly flying pillow under his neck.
Jia Min only glanced at Lin Ruhai sideways, and said with a smile: "Master's words are not true, why did I ask someone to invite Master over?"
"Didn't you ask someone to invite me to dinner?"
Jia Min laughed, half sat up and said with a smile: "Master is obedient, but I can't listen to the truth. I just asked someone to ask if the master wants to eat in the house today. When the master comes, he will use it; if the master doesn't It doesn't matter if you come. How did you come to the master, but it turned out that I insisted on asking someone to invite the master?"
Lin Ruhai laughed at what he said, and wrapped his hands around Jia Min's waist. The two laughed together, and the atmosphere in the room was good for a while.Lin Ruhai suddenly recalled that when they first got married, the two of them used to be so gluey, talking, joking and making troubles, everything went smoothly.He looked down at Jia Min, and saw a blush on her cheeks. Jia Min, who had already been the mother of three children, still had the charm of a young girl, and there was only a sense of warmth in her heart for a moment.
"Don't be ashamed, don't tell Yu'er to look at her mother like this, just make a joke." Although he said it, he laughed first.
Jia Min also said: "Why does Yu'er miss me as a mother? Since she has a brother, she has been clinging to her brother; now that she has a brother, isn't she going to cling to her brother again?" When Daiyu was young, she just asked: "Master, do you still remember the interesting incident when our Yu'er caught Zhou?"
Lin Ruhai was taken aback by Jia Min's sudden question, and after a while he smiled and said, "If you don't mention it, I'll forget it too." With a slender waist, Min just smiled and said: "Look at you, I'm in a hurry again. You mentioned it like this, I won't dare to forget it in the future. Thinking about that year, Yu'er's grasping week was fortunately not too big, otherwise, wouldn't it be Want to teach people a joke?"
Speaking of which, Daiyu was born on the twelfth of February, which coincides with the Flower Festival.Since Jia Min was confinement, she has been busy with the housekeeper and other things. Although Daiyu lives in Jia Min's house, she usually takes care of things, but the maids do it.Jia Min has no time, and it is Lin Ze who can accompany Daiyu.At that time, Lin Ze had just begun to learn calligraphy, and although his homework was heavy, he still took a lot of time to play with Daiyu every day.
Another year of Flower Festival, Lin Ruhai felt sorry for Daiyu, so naturally he wanted to hold a big Zhouzhou feast for her.But Jia Min said: "A girl from every family, how can she afford so many people to congratulate her. Besides, she is young and weak, and it is not good for her if there are too many people." Lin Ruhai's heart moved when she said this, but she still refused to give up. On the other hand, Jia Min mentioned again: "Speaking of which, Brother Ze didn't make a big fuss about the Zhou Catch Banquet back then. How can my younger sister go over my elder brother now?"
It was only then that Lin Ruhai remembered that when Lin Ze was adopted back then, Lin Ze had already passed Zhou, and catching the Zhou banquet was just a ceremony for face, and everyone just ate, drank and played together and it was over.However, if Daiyu wants to make a big deal now, won't outsiders see Lin Ze underestimated?Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai immediately dismissed the idea.So I only invited a few close friends and their whole family.
For a while, the Catch the Zhou banquet was very lively, and everyone who came was very familiar with Lin Ruhai and his wife, so naturally they didn't distinguish those outsiders' words.
But Daiyu climbed on the table for a while, and the table covered with red brocade was lined with excellent objects.There are also jade hairpin needles and threads prepared by Jia Min for her daughter, and there are also pens, ink, paper and inkstones that Lin Ruhai put down for Daiyu, which made all the officials' wives laugh.
One of them, Mrs. Li, only said to Jia Min: "Although your daughter is small, she has a graceful manner in her eyebrows and eyes. We are very happy to see her. But you and your wife have hearts, how old is she? Have you prepared these dowry for her?" As he spoke, he pointed to the exquisite jade hairpin, then pointed to the handkerchief with excellent embroidery, and said with a smile: "Nvhongs are things that girls should learn. , but there is no need to take out such a good one, how will that wild girl of our family deal with herself."
For a while, everyone laughed, and another lady also laughed and said: "Master Lin has such an elegant mind, he even prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Come to think of it, your family is going to have two champions in the future?"
Everyone gathered around to ask what was the reason for this, and the lady said with a smile: "Look, there is a young master in Mr. Lin's family. He is the most beautiful, intelligent and sensible. He is not expected to be the number one scholar in the future." Everyone nodded and said yes, and asked where the other one was, the lady pointed at Daiyu and smiled: "Look at this one, Master Lin prepared these pens, inks, papers and inkstones so early, didn't you?" Why is his family going to have a female champion!" Everyone laughed, and only Lin Ruhai and his wife were so elegant.
Daiyu didn't care about these words, she just looked at the objects on the table, looked at this one, felt that one, and it seemed like she couldn't pick her hands after a long time.After climbing a long way, she stopped with her short legs. When everyone was watching her next move with breathless concentration, Daiyu, who was only one year old, hiccupped and rolled along the edge of the table, about to fall off. Down!
"Pfft haha!"
Just when everyone couldn't lift it up or swallow it down, Daiyu, who was about to fall off the table and turn into a small meat dumpling, was embraced by Lin Ze with both hands, and she entered a safe state without any danger.
"A-a... giggle!"
Everyone was shocked again. This little girl holding Lin Ze has only passed a week, and she can make such a clear voice?Also shocked were Lin Ruhai and his wife and the client Xiao Linze.Seeing Daiyu being hugged by Lu Rou, a face full of smiles on a piece of rice tender bun, Lin Ze also smiled, reached out to hold Daiyu's little hand, and gave the child the first cry. It was not someone else who called out, but "Brother". He swore that he would protect her for the rest of his life.
After everyone was surprised, they realized that they couldn't help being a little funny.The child grabbed her brother's hand without grabbing anything. What's the matter?Lin Ruhai, on the other hand, said with a smile, "Our Yu'er is a lucky one. In the future, she will have her elder brother to protect her and she will have nothing to worry about." The eldest son was adopted, I'm afraid...
The few wives who wanted to see what the daughter of Lin Ruhai's family looked like, and planned to make a baby kiss for their son, swallowed their words and laughed in agreement.Looking at the current situation, it is impossible to say that the eldest son of the Lin family will marry the younger sister who grew up together when he regained his original identity in the future.
However, both Jia Min and Lin Ruhai saw this and didn't say anything.Looking at Daiyu again, she smiled so happily that her eyes were bent into crescent moons and her toothless mouth was open.
"The master is right. If many people were invited, even if the master didn't mention it, I would be ashamed to death."
Lin Ruhai laughed and said: "Madam, there is no need to be like this. This is our Yu'er's good fortune. Over the years, the love between their brothers and sisters is unmatched by others. With an elder brother like Ze'er protecting her, I am afraid that Daiyu will not have it in the future." Is it a good match?"
One sentence, but Jia Min's face sank when he said it. He was naturally a little unhappy when he thought that Jia's mother had been talking about getting married these days.She was innocent and innocent. When she was at home, she was cared for by her father and cared for by her mother. She was knowledgeable, courteous, elegant and dignified, and she was among the top girls in the capital.After marrying Lin Ruhai, although her temperament became a bit more mellow, she did not lose her true nature. Mrs. Lin always loved Jia Min like her daughter, so how could she be willing to ask her to set rules.
Naturally, whatever comes to mind now, something appears on his face.
Seeing Jia Min like this, Lin Ruhai said softly, "But what happened? His face is so ugly, don't get mad at yourself, let others feel happy."
Jia Min raised her head and saw the worry and concern in the eyes of her husband Jiefa. As soon as her heart warmed up, most of the gloom on her face disappeared, and she only leaned on Lin Ruhai's chest and whispered: "In the past, I always thought that although I married into After joining the Lin family, she is also the daughter of the Jia family, and her husband’s family is as important as her mother’s family. But now, I don’t want to think like this anymore.” Then, he leaned against Lin Ruhai’s chest again, and said: “I married the master , is the master's man. From then on, she is only the wife of the Lin family, not the daughter of the Jia family. What I should worry about is the whole family of our mansion. The Rongguo mansion has its own brothers and sisters to share the worries. I have already married, so what? There is reason to intervene again."
Lin Ruhai was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said, "Why did Madam say that?"
Jia Min only said: "On weekdays, I always give gifts to Jia's mansion. During the New Year holidays, there are only a lot. The master knows it too, and I am grateful for not saying anything about me. Now I might as well talk to the master. , so as not to create a estrangement between you and my husband and wife, which would be bad."
For a while, he talked about all the things in the Rongguo mansion, and when he mentioned the two nuns who had been sent back, he was still very angry.
"Nurse Lai and Nanny Wang are idiots, and I can't tell them apart, so I just lowered my status in vain. Besides, they were sent by my mother. The elder dared not resign, and I am not good either. They slapped them in the face in front of everyone, and wronged Yu'er for nothing for so long, but fortunately nothing major happened, otherwise I would not be able to live in my heart." Then he said angrily: "It's my good second sister-in-law. The words were full of tears, and I sold Hao and the old lady again, and I gained a reputation of charity in front of the servant woman, but it gave me a bad reputation for nothing! Although I don’t care about these things, I am just unwilling in my heart. My mother doesn’t know These things, but they still help the Wang family, leaving those two scourges to work in the mansion."
"Master, when I say this now, I still feel chills in my heart. That's still my biological mother. If that's the case, if I'm gone in the future, I don't know what to do."
Hearing what she said, Lin Ruhai only shouted: "Don't talk such nonsense again! How can you curse yourself to death with empty teeth? It's still sunny, how can you say such nonsense!"
Jia Min also burst into tears, and only cried: "I shouldn't have said this, but I couldn't help thinking this way. When I was at home, my father loved me the most. Although my mother loved me too, men and women are different. But she valued her second elder brother more. Now I understand that mother's most beloved is probably only herself, otherwise, how could I allow that Wang's blind behavior in Jia's mansion!"
Lin Ruhai was about to speak, but Jia Min raised his hand to cover Lin Ruhai's lips, and said: "Master, after listening to me, I have been ill for so many days, and I am confused all day long, but I understand it better than usual. Very much."
"Don't be afraid of the master's jokes, the Duke's mansion is not the same as it used to be. When my father was here, how could there be such a tricky servant in the mansion who did evil? They were sent away far away, or sold or taken to the Zhuangzi, and dealt with severely. I never dared to do this again. But now, the head of the house has changed. The master also knew that my elder brother married a young lady of the Zhang family, and the management of the inner house was not dissatisfied. But since she left , the eldest brother married a bride, but he is a crab with no feet, and even I look down on the petty family, let alone the old lady. I had to push Mrs. Wang out to be the housekeeper."
While Jia Min was talking, she had long since refused to call Mrs. Wang the second sister-in-law.Although Lin Ruhai heard what she said, he couldn't bear to interrupt her, so he just listened and didn't speak.
"Since the Wang family has been in charge of the house, I just feel that I am like their money bag. Every time during the Chinese New Year, I wish I could vacate the house and go to my mother's house. But the master doesn't know what I am for. Do this!" Jia Min said, gritted his teeth bitterly and said: "The Wang family always writes letters saying that the family is difficult, the expenses are high, and the crops in the village are not good. Even the old lady I want to take my own body to fill the family. I heard, I don’t have the heart anymore, I just think about how to ask her to use her body money to fill the family at such an old age, of course I have to help a little bit.”
Lin Ruhai also understood at this time that it turned out that Jia Min gave so many gifts these years, just to feel sorry for his old mother, but she didn't know that those were her second sister-in-law's tricks, and she was fooled for nothing.
Jia Min said again: "Now I also understand. In the past, I seemed to be a foolish person. I only sent our family's money to my good second sister-in-law's pocket, and filled her private room. How can I ask for it again?" They came back! Now they are thinking about Yu'er again, no matter how foolish I am, I will never let my daughter suffer like this!"
Lin Ruhai was wondering how Jia Min understood it.Now when I heard it, I was shocked and said: "Why did Madam say that? What do you mean by 'they hit Yu'er's idea'?"
Jia Min didn't intend to hide it from him. Seeing Lin Ruhai's question, he said exactly what Jia's mother said in the letter, and said: "My lord, although I am filial to my mother, I see Wang's behavior. I don't want to be in-laws with her anymore. My mother said, "Kiss to be a relative", but I guessed that this was just what my mother wanted, and I didn't discuss it with Mrs. Wang. Her precious son who is like a phoenix egg, It is said that when the grass just fell, a piece of crystal beautiful jade came down from her mouth. Everyone in the house knew it, so my mother named him Baoyu. It is written to ask the poor people outside the city to call."
Hearing this, Lin Ruhai said repeatedly: "Extremely stupid! Extremely stupid! With such a background, being born in the royal family is naturally auspicious, but in a family like ours, even the wealth of the sky should not be so ostentatious! Such a I don’t know how to restrain myself, if I want people to read a book from the Holy One in the future, what should I do!”
"Why didn't I say that!" Jia Min cried: "I was not pregnant with Yu'er at the beginning, and the Wang family had already given birth to Baoyu. Later, when I became pregnant, the Wang family said that it was Baoyu's blessing, and it was a blessing for us. She wants to be good to the old lady, and wants me to accept her love. I just won't say it. If it is according to my opinion, Yu'er should fall in love with Ze'er luck."
Lin Ruhai just shook his head and sighed silently, thinking: The Yue family has gotten very close to Prince Zhongshun in recent years, seeing them acting like this now, you know it's the last thing to do.Even if I mentioned them, it would be useless, and I might even get involved with my own family.Thinking of such a handsome child as Daiyu, the Yue family was still thinking about hitting on her, Lin Ruhai only felt a sense of sadness in his heart, and just wanted to let go of the Yue family from now on.
But Jia Min said: "The old lady's mind is now clear to me, and she said that the precious jade was born with the jade when it fell into the grass, which is the most good luck. If you want Yu'er to marry Baoyu, the two jades will be paired together again. It's okay. I just answered my mother's intentions, thinking that my mother must blame me in her heart, but because of Yu'er, I won't bear it any longer."
Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "Of course."
Jia Min said again: "I'm afraid Mrs. Wang doesn't know about this, I have already ordered Lu Rou to give Mrs. Wang a big gift. Let's see, Mr. Wang, Mrs. Wang has never been a well-thought-out person. However, she managed to stay in the mansion with some unscrupulous means. She naturally took care of Baoyu as an eyeball. Now that she knows what the old lady is thinking, she will never agree to it. I am afraid that she will fight with the old lady in the near future. Since she did something wrong, the old lady has no reason to stand by her, this Rongguo Mansion's head should be put down by Mrs. Wang!"
Listening to what Jia Min said, Lin Ruhai knew that these inner house methods were women's business, so how could he, a man of seven feet, intervene.Then he bypassed this topic with a few words and talked about another matter.
"Now that you are feeling better, I have one more troublesome matter to discuss with you."
Hearing what Lin Ruhai said, although Jia Min was puzzled, he said with a smile on his face: "I'm in good health, but the master came to recruit me again. Don't be jealous of me, you have to bother me with something." Shall I?" He said again: "Master is in the front, so many things are decided without hesitation, why is he hesitant now? If it's a man's business, I have no reason to intervene."
Lin Ruhai only smiled and said: "How can you say that this is a matter of the man's family? It should be a matter of our husband and wife together."
It made Jia Min raise his eyebrows in doubt, and when Lin Ruhai spoke slowly, he smiled again: "What's the matter I said, the troublesome master is so worried, so it is this." Su slenderly tapped on the paper , Jia Min's beautiful eyes swept over the big characters on the paper one by one, and suddenly stopped on a word, and said: "Since the master circled this word, he must have already planned it, why do you still want to ask me?" , isn’t it obvious that you’re playing tricks on me? I won’t obey anymore!”
Lin Ruhai just smiled and looked over with Jia Min, the word "Lang" was circled with a vermilion pen on the paper.
"When you and I first became husband and wife, I had already planned that if we had a son in the future, we needed him to be a bright young man. In addition, "Mandarin" also mentioned that 'his holy energy is bright and bright'. If you want to match our son, it would be the best."
Jia Min said with a smile: "Master, this makes me think of the matter of naming Ze'er back then. At that time, the master was also like now, hesitant and hesitant. I laughed at the master and acted resolutely." After making people jealous, why did he shrink back when he chose a name? I still remember that the master said at the time that he had to choose a perfect name for Ze'er in order to fulfill his wish, but now seeing the word 'Lang', why did the master take the lead? I thought about it at the time, why didn't I use it for Ze'er?"
Lin Ruhai smiled wryly and said, "You must have forgotten. I also mentioned at the beginning that to name Ze'er, one must choose one of the characters for 'water'. It took a long time to decide on the character for 'Ze'."
"Yes, that's exactly what it said."
Jia Min clapped her hands and laughed, "Since the master chose the word 'water' for Ze'er, why can't our son be like Ze'er?"
"Then how can I do it? I am already of the Shui family, and if I want a child of the Shui family, how can I make it!"
"What happened to Ze'er? Could it be that he is not the master's son? Although Ze'er is an adopted child, I don't have the slightest heart for him. The master also loves Ze'er as his own son. Distinguish it like this when you name it?"
Seeing that Lin Ruhai didn't speak, Jia Min pointed out a word on the paper and said, "Since the master just said it, the matter of naming should be a joint matter between us. Since the master is hesitant, he must ask me to do it." It's decided. I only think of this word, it can't be better, so the master will draw it up."
Lin Ruhai looked intently and saw that what Jia Min was pointing to was the word "Lan". When asked what the meaning of this word was, Jia Min laughed and said: "In the chapter 'Yinxiu' in "Wen Xin Diao Long", it is mentioned: 'Zhu Yu Diving, and Lan Biao Fangyuan', Ze'er was named because they should come from the character of jade in this generation. But the master wanted to take the character of water for him, so he followed Xu Shuzhong's words: "Jade, the beauty of stone There are five virtues, moistening and warming, and benevolence.' Only then did the word 'Lin Ze' come into being. Now the names of the younger brother and elder brother should be in the same place, otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke if people read it?"
Lin Ruhai thought in his heart: I'm afraid that if someone reads it, they want to laugh at my son and I for a lifetime.Thinking about Lin Ze's naming at that time, it took a lot of effort. He was originally from the water family, but Lin Ze was also from the water family, but this water family is very different. He just thought, if in the future Today I want to recognize Lin Ze, this name... Hey, I think I'm shooting myself in the foot now.He never thought that at the age of forty, he could have another son. Presumably it was God's favor, so he took this name... It's not an exaggeration.
Lin Ruhai was in a daze on this side, but Jia Min said softly, "Master, when I was pregnant with him, I didn't know it was twins, and it was because I was so weak that I couldn't keep that child for my master." .This child has experienced such a big ups and downs since he was born, and the word Lan also means waves. If you use the waves to suppress the waves, maybe the road in the future will be easier."
Lin Ruhai sighed slightly, held Jia Min's icy fingers, and said, "Just follow Madam's wishes. Lan'er will be fine in the future, and Madam should relax, otherwise how will the children deal with themselves? How am I supposed to deal with myself?"
The husband and wife spoke in turn, and there was no gap in their hearts, just like returning to the loving days when the husband and wife married each other and their hearts were easy to communicate with each other.Green Rou Rou Hong Xing winked very much and did not come to disturb her.Lin Ruhai rested in Jia Min's room, and the husband and wife talked a lot before going to sleep, talking and laughing in a low voice before falling asleep.I don't need to mention a good night's dream.
Besides, Lin Ze has been taking care of the baby every day and night in the past few days. Although it is hard work, he is very happy in his heart.When Daiyu was young, he also thought about being by her side day and night like this, but because of the heavy homework, he had to take a break from his busy schedule to see Daiyu.What's more, we were young at that time, so we don't remember many things.It's different now, with the ready-made milk doll sleeping beside him, Lin Ze has 1 willingness to serve him, so he won't sleep.Being forced by Shui Zhan to go to sleep twice, he refused to do so. He just rolled around and acted cute, which made Shui Zhan laugh and cry and couldn't bear it.
Just looking at the heavy dark circles under Lin Ze's eyes, Shui Zhan once again gave Lin Ze a hard look at a certain baby on the bamboo bed.It's all you little bastard who made his little Jiu'er work so hard, he really deserves to be beaten.Thinking about it, I stretched out my hand and patted the round buttocks of the milk doll lightly. It didn't take much force. The little milk doll seemed to sense the deep malice from this world, and pursed her mouth, "Wow!" I burst into tears.
When Lin Ze came in, he saw the sweat on Shui Zhan's head, and the baby on the bamboo bed was crying miserably.Busy over to gently pat the baby, Lin Ze turned his head to look at Shui Zhan when the baby stopped crying.
Before Shui Zhan could speak, Lin Ze smiled and said, "Ah, I can't do it without me. The third brother won't coax Lan'er when she cries, so don't drive me to sleep again."
Shui Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Lin Ze like this, he didn't realize that he did evil.But wait... Lan'er?Glancing at the milk doll on the small bamboo bed who was sucking his fingers very sweetly, Shui Zhan pointed tremblingly, and asked in order to confirm: "Lan'er, is it him?"
"Well, Lan'er! The master said, the door at the water's edge, said Lan. Lan'er encountered a big ups and downs since she was born, so I hope that the road will be smooth in the future. Besides, it also contains the meaning of the word jade. Inside."
"Jade characters?"
"In the chapter 'Yinxiu' of "Wen Xin Diao Long", there is: 'Pearls and jade dive, while Lan shows a circle'. Lan'er was born... well, such a round and jade-like man, he must be a gentle man like jade in the future."
Shocked by Lin Ze's description, Shui Zhan didn't speak in a daze, but took a sympathetic look at the little milk baby who was evaluated by his brother as "beautiful and beautiful", and then nodded silently.That's right, it is indeed round and smooth, very...fat!
As for whether he will grow into a gentle man like jade in the future, the little Lin Lan can only open his mouth and smile at you with his toothless teeth, which means, I am hungry now, give me a cup first Milk!
Lin Fuyan laughed at Yanyan, and the great joy and sorrow experienced on August [-]th seemed to have passed because of Jia Min's improvement.
"Master, Mr. Shen is here."
"Come in quickly."
As soon as Shui Zhan entered the door, he saw the distress on Lin Ruhai's face that hadn't put away.Glancing at the large paper lying on the desk, Shui Zhan curled his lips, he already guessed what troubled this middle-aged beauty Tanhua.But seeing Lin Ruhai quickly put on a gentle smile, Shui Zhan's smile deepened.Since people didn't intend to confide this trouble to him, he just pretended not to see it.
"Why is Your Highness the Third Highness here today? It's such a hot day outside, and it's not good to suffer from heatstroke." Hearing the constant sound of cicadas outside the study, and seeing the half-smile on Shui Zhan's face, Lin Ruhai rubbed his nose , stopped talking a little embarrassingly.It seems that the Third Highness has something to say to himself, hey, it must have something to do with Ze'er.
Seeing Lin Ruhai's expression changed slightly, Shui Zhan didn't take it too seriously, after all, the one standing in front of him was his father's best friend in his heart.Although the identities are somewhat different, but when we met in Wei back then, the relationship was very different after the father came to the throne.Otherwise, can you entrust the little Jiu'er who is holding you in your heart to Lin Ruhai!
"I have been in Yangzhou for a while. Although I live in the mansion every day, it is not that I don't know anything else." Shui Zhan's eyelids drooped slightly, and he only looked down at the white porcelain teacup in his hand, as if I want to see some patterns on the teacup without any pattern.Hearing what he said, Lin Ruhai's face straightened immediately, and he sat down and listened quietly.But Shui Zhan didn't look at him, and just continued to say indifferently: "Master Lin is in charge of the Jiangnan Salt Class, and my father is also the most important thing to Master Lin. There is only one thing, the Jiangnan Zhen family..."
As he spoke, he stopped talking and refused to speak any more.
But Lin Ruhai understood, stood up quickly and said, "What did the Third Highness say? I have never concealed anything about the Zhen family." Listening to Shui Zhan's point-and-click words, Lin Ruhai is not a stupid person. Naturally, he knew that Shui Zhan's words were because he was afraid that he would hide something from the Zhen family because of the Yue family, but after taking the throne today, those old officials still looked confused, Lin Ruhai was powerless even though he wanted to.
"That would be the best." Smiling, Shui Zhan put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "I think Mrs. Lin still has something to do here, Mrs. Madam gave birth not long ago, and if you want to come to the mansion, you need to take care of all the big and small matters. Here I am It doesn’t take many people to serve.”
"Third Highness's remark is a shame, now that the dog is living in the Third Highness's room, how should I deal with myself?"
Hearing the word "dog", Shui Zhan's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything.Lin Ruhai, who was bowing his head, felt a chill on his back. When he looked up, he saw a faint smile on Shui Zhan's lips, no different from the past.Because he looked away, he stopped talking.
Shui Zhan sat for a while, then got up and left.After he left, Lin Ruhai realized that his forehead was wet with sweat. Looking at the closed door of the study, he began to be confused, whether it was the right choice to adopt Lin Ze back then.Judging from Shang Shengyi, it seems that he doesn't intend to mention this matter, but in Shui Zhan's words, he pays more attention to Lin Zezhen.Lin Ruhai couldn't help sighing, the Third Highness who came to seek help from him with his infant brother in his arms, has really grown into a prince who can be his own.
Recalling the coldness that flashed in Shui Zhan's eyes when he mentioned Jiangnan Zhen's family, Lin Ruhai frowned.In recent years, Jiangnan Zhen's family has been mobbing frequently, and he sits in the salt class, which is the most sensitive position.Fortunately, he is a pure minister, and he has known Jinshang in the early years, so Jinshang is very relieved to hand over the Yan administration to him.It's just that the Zhen family...
He rubbed his forehead with a headache, his worry-free Yue family has also sent letters frequently recently, saying many plausible things, do you really think he is an idiot?Ningrong Second Mansion's glory today is only due to the military merits of the ancestors, but looking at the descendants of later generations, there is still one soldier who joined the army, even if he stood upright in the court, he could not count one.His second brother-in-law, to put it nicely, was the old man who forced him to write a booklet when the old man passed away, to give the second son a shade who loved to read and liked, so he got the position of a fifth-rank member of the foreign minister, but he himself was not good at going there again. Take the imperial examination all the way.But even so, if he is really talented, why hasn't he been promoted half a step in all these years?
Thinking of that family, Lin Ruhai only felt depressed.
He also mentioned many times in the letter, what did he get in exchange?Those people just don't understand his intentions, instead they criticize him everywhere.What he meant explicitly and secretly was that he is now in charge of the Yanzheng, which is equivalent to holding the emperor's money bag. Why not make it easier for his family?
snort!What about my own family, the Jiangnan Zhen family has been staring at his position as the censor of salt for a day or two. If he really listened to the Yue family's words and did that little "convenience", I'm afraid he would have been caught by the Zhen family long ago. The result!
"Alas..." With a long sigh, Lin Ruhai felt relieved when he thought of Shui Zhan's joy whenever he mentioned Lin Ze.Lin Ze is a good boy. Although he can't tell him about his background, he doesn't want to hide it from his child.Everyone in the house knew that Lin Ze was not his own son, but he was adopted, in order to give himself a way out.It's just that he didn't expect that this child was so sincere, and he would return ten points for being kind to him.
Thinking of the current back house, Jia Min gave birth to a son, Shang Zi, who was overwhelmed with joy and sorrow, and fell ill. Daiyu is only four years old now, even if Jia Min is with the director on weekdays, how can she know housekeeper.Now everything in the house is organized, so it is because of Jia Min's majesty on weekdays, and one more thing, it is Lin Ze's credit.
Glancing at the large paper spread out on the table, Lin Ruhai only felt that the pain in his forehead was getting worse. He had been thinking about it for four or five days, but he still had no clue.When he saw Shui Zhan coming over just now, he wanted to tell something, but seeing Shui Zhan's cold eyes, he gave up this idea.His Highness the Third Highness is now a very dignified person. Although he can still see his smile when he is with Lin Ze on weekdays, when they are alone, he can no longer treat him as the son of an old friend.
"Master, there are people asking Madam, do you want to eat in the house?"
Hearing the boy's report outside the house, Lin Ruhai was startled for a moment, then smiled happily, and said repeatedly: "Go, go, naturally." It seems that Jia Min's body has turned around a lot. It has been a long time, and finally I am in the mood to eat well.Naturally, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but tidy up and went to Jia Min's place.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Lu Rou directing his mother-in-law to pack her things. Lin Ruhai was a little surprised. Jia Min hadn't confinement yet, so why was there such a big commotion?
Seeing Lin Ruhai entered the yard, Lu Rou hurriedly went over to say hello, and when Lin Ruhai asked, she smiled and said, "These are my wife's return gifts to Rongguo Mansion." After speaking, she was about to show Lin Ruhai the list of gifts.Lin Ruhai just waved his hand and said no, he naturally knew that since Jia Min was pregnant, the Yue family had given Jia Min many things to give away, and every time the gifts were "impressive".
Thinking of the two nuns who sent off home, a chill flashed in Lin Ruhai's eyes, hmph, he has really seen what kind of family can raise such tricky and ignorant servants.If it wasn't for Gu Nian Jia Min who was pregnant and the most soft-hearted, how could he let the two women go so lightly, it was really annoying.
Seeing that Lin Ruhai didn't ask for the gift list, Lurou just pursed her lips and smiled, "My wife is waiting for the master in the room, she said she has something to say to the master. The courtyard is in chaos now, so there is no need to disturb the master."
Lin Ruhai knew that Lurou was the most capable person, so she just nodded and smiled and went inside.Lu Rou only glanced at the gift list in her hand, the smile on her lips got bigger and bigger, and she became more energetic when directing the women.In the past, my wife often gave gifts to the Rongguo Mansion, but every time the Rongguo Mansion gave gifts in return, it was so thin, it really made people feel unhappy.But the wife has nothing to say, how can they be so easy to point fingers when they are maids and slaves!But now it's better, my wife is angry now, and she's going to show off to those ignorant people, whoops, can she be unhappy?
But when Lin Ruhai entered the room, he felt refreshed all over his body.Compared with the bitter medicine juice smell that always lingered when I entered the house a few days ago, this smell is more than a little bit better.Seeing Jia Min leaning on the small couch, holding the fan in one hand, and resting the other on the thin blanket around his waist, his elegant face is lightly covered with fat, but it has an indescribable charm.Lin Ruhai smiled, then sat on the side of the couch, smiled and pushed Jia Min with his hands, saw Jia Min opened his eyes with a smile, and said, "Madam sent someone to invite me, isn't that how you treat guests?" As he spoke, he pointed to the thin blanket around Jia Min's waist and the silver silk embroidered flower pattern colorful butterfly flying pillow under his neck.
Jia Min only glanced at Lin Ruhai sideways, and said with a smile: "Master's words are not true, why did I ask someone to invite Master over?"
"Didn't you ask someone to invite me to dinner?"
Jia Min laughed, half sat up and said with a smile: "Master is obedient, but I can't listen to the truth. I just asked someone to ask if the master wants to eat in the house today. When the master comes, he will use it; if the master doesn't It doesn't matter if you come. How did you come to the master, but it turned out that I insisted on asking someone to invite the master?"
Lin Ruhai laughed at what he said, and wrapped his hands around Jia Min's waist. The two laughed together, and the atmosphere in the room was good for a while.Lin Ruhai suddenly recalled that when they first got married, the two of them used to be so gluey, talking, joking and making troubles, everything went smoothly.He looked down at Jia Min, and saw a blush on her cheeks. Jia Min, who had already been the mother of three children, still had the charm of a young girl, and there was only a sense of warmth in her heart for a moment.
"Don't be ashamed, don't tell Yu'er to look at her mother like this, just make a joke." Although he said it, he laughed first.
Jia Min also said: "Why does Yu'er miss me as a mother? Since she has a brother, she has been clinging to her brother; now that she has a brother, isn't she going to cling to her brother again?" When Daiyu was young, she just asked: "Master, do you still remember the interesting incident when our Yu'er caught Zhou?"
Lin Ruhai was taken aback by Jia Min's sudden question, and after a while he smiled and said, "If you don't mention it, I'll forget it too." With a slender waist, Min just smiled and said: "Look at you, I'm in a hurry again. You mentioned it like this, I won't dare to forget it in the future. Thinking about that year, Yu'er's grasping week was fortunately not too big, otherwise, wouldn't it be Want to teach people a joke?"
Speaking of which, Daiyu was born on the twelfth of February, which coincides with the Flower Festival.Since Jia Min was confinement, she has been busy with the housekeeper and other things. Although Daiyu lives in Jia Min's house, she usually takes care of things, but the maids do it.Jia Min has no time, and it is Lin Ze who can accompany Daiyu.At that time, Lin Ze had just begun to learn calligraphy, and although his homework was heavy, he still took a lot of time to play with Daiyu every day.
Another year of Flower Festival, Lin Ruhai felt sorry for Daiyu, so naturally he wanted to hold a big Zhouzhou feast for her.But Jia Min said: "A girl from every family, how can she afford so many people to congratulate her. Besides, she is young and weak, and it is not good for her if there are too many people." Lin Ruhai's heart moved when she said this, but she still refused to give up. On the other hand, Jia Min mentioned again: "Speaking of which, Brother Ze didn't make a big fuss about the Zhou Catch Banquet back then. How can my younger sister go over my elder brother now?"
It was only then that Lin Ruhai remembered that when Lin Ze was adopted back then, Lin Ze had already passed Zhou, and catching the Zhou banquet was just a ceremony for face, and everyone just ate, drank and played together and it was over.However, if Daiyu wants to make a big deal now, won't outsiders see Lin Ze underestimated?Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai immediately dismissed the idea.So I only invited a few close friends and their whole family.
For a while, the Catch the Zhou banquet was very lively, and everyone who came was very familiar with Lin Ruhai and his wife, so naturally they didn't distinguish those outsiders' words.
But Daiyu climbed on the table for a while, and the table covered with red brocade was lined with excellent objects.There are also jade hairpin needles and threads prepared by Jia Min for her daughter, and there are also pens, ink, paper and inkstones that Lin Ruhai put down for Daiyu, which made all the officials' wives laugh.
One of them, Mrs. Li, only said to Jia Min: "Although your daughter is small, she has a graceful manner in her eyebrows and eyes. We are very happy to see her. But you and your wife have hearts, how old is she? Have you prepared these dowry for her?" As he spoke, he pointed to the exquisite jade hairpin, then pointed to the handkerchief with excellent embroidery, and said with a smile: "Nvhongs are things that girls should learn. , but there is no need to take out such a good one, how will that wild girl of our family deal with herself."
For a while, everyone laughed, and another lady also laughed and said: "Master Lin has such an elegant mind, he even prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Come to think of it, your family is going to have two champions in the future?"
Everyone gathered around to ask what was the reason for this, and the lady said with a smile: "Look, there is a young master in Mr. Lin's family. He is the most beautiful, intelligent and sensible. He is not expected to be the number one scholar in the future." Everyone nodded and said yes, and asked where the other one was, the lady pointed at Daiyu and smiled: "Look at this one, Master Lin prepared these pens, inks, papers and inkstones so early, didn't you?" Why is his family going to have a female champion!" Everyone laughed, and only Lin Ruhai and his wife were so elegant.
Daiyu didn't care about these words, she just looked at the objects on the table, looked at this one, felt that one, and it seemed like she couldn't pick her hands after a long time.After climbing a long way, she stopped with her short legs. When everyone was watching her next move with breathless concentration, Daiyu, who was only one year old, hiccupped and rolled along the edge of the table, about to fall off. Down!
"Pfft haha!"
Just when everyone couldn't lift it up or swallow it down, Daiyu, who was about to fall off the table and turn into a small meat dumpling, was embraced by Lin Ze with both hands, and she entered a safe state without any danger.
"A-a... giggle!"
Everyone was shocked again. This little girl holding Lin Ze has only passed a week, and she can make such a clear voice?Also shocked were Lin Ruhai and his wife and the client Xiao Linze.Seeing Daiyu being hugged by Lu Rou, a face full of smiles on a piece of rice tender bun, Lin Ze also smiled, reached out to hold Daiyu's little hand, and gave the child the first cry. It was not someone else who called out, but "Brother". He swore that he would protect her for the rest of his life.
After everyone was surprised, they realized that they couldn't help being a little funny.The child grabbed her brother's hand without grabbing anything. What's the matter?Lin Ruhai, on the other hand, said with a smile, "Our Yu'er is a lucky one. In the future, she will have her elder brother to protect her and she will have nothing to worry about." The eldest son was adopted, I'm afraid...
The few wives who wanted to see what the daughter of Lin Ruhai's family looked like, and planned to make a baby kiss for their son, swallowed their words and laughed in agreement.Looking at the current situation, it is impossible to say that the eldest son of the Lin family will marry the younger sister who grew up together when he regained his original identity in the future.
However, both Jia Min and Lin Ruhai saw this and didn't say anything.Looking at Daiyu again, she smiled so happily that her eyes were bent into crescent moons and her toothless mouth was open.
"The master is right. If many people were invited, even if the master didn't mention it, I would be ashamed to death."
Lin Ruhai laughed and said: "Madam, there is no need to be like this. This is our Yu'er's good fortune. Over the years, the love between their brothers and sisters is unmatched by others. With an elder brother like Ze'er protecting her, I am afraid that Daiyu will not have it in the future." Is it a good match?"
One sentence, but Jia Min's face sank when he said it. He was naturally a little unhappy when he thought that Jia's mother had been talking about getting married these days.She was innocent and innocent. When she was at home, she was cared for by her father and cared for by her mother. She was knowledgeable, courteous, elegant and dignified, and she was among the top girls in the capital.After marrying Lin Ruhai, although her temperament became a bit more mellow, she did not lose her true nature. Mrs. Lin always loved Jia Min like her daughter, so how could she be willing to ask her to set rules.
Naturally, whatever comes to mind now, something appears on his face.
Seeing Jia Min like this, Lin Ruhai said softly, "But what happened? His face is so ugly, don't get mad at yourself, let others feel happy."
Jia Min raised her head and saw the worry and concern in the eyes of her husband Jiefa. As soon as her heart warmed up, most of the gloom on her face disappeared, and she only leaned on Lin Ruhai's chest and whispered: "In the past, I always thought that although I married into After joining the Lin family, she is also the daughter of the Jia family, and her husband’s family is as important as her mother’s family. But now, I don’t want to think like this anymore.” Then, he leaned against Lin Ruhai’s chest again, and said: “I married the master , is the master's man. From then on, she is only the wife of the Lin family, not the daughter of the Jia family. What I should worry about is the whole family of our mansion. The Rongguo mansion has its own brothers and sisters to share the worries. I have already married, so what? There is reason to intervene again."
Lin Ruhai was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said, "Why did Madam say that?"
Jia Min only said: "On weekdays, I always give gifts to Jia's mansion. During the New Year holidays, there are only a lot. The master knows it too, and I am grateful for not saying anything about me. Now I might as well talk to the master. , so as not to create a estrangement between you and my husband and wife, which would be bad."
For a while, he talked about all the things in the Rongguo mansion, and when he mentioned the two nuns who had been sent back, he was still very angry.
"Nurse Lai and Nanny Wang are idiots, and I can't tell them apart, so I just lowered my status in vain. Besides, they were sent by my mother. The elder dared not resign, and I am not good either. They slapped them in the face in front of everyone, and wronged Yu'er for nothing for so long, but fortunately nothing major happened, otherwise I would not be able to live in my heart." Then he said angrily: "It's my good second sister-in-law. The words were full of tears, and I sold Hao and the old lady again, and I gained a reputation of charity in front of the servant woman, but it gave me a bad reputation for nothing! Although I don’t care about these things, I am just unwilling in my heart. My mother doesn’t know These things, but they still help the Wang family, leaving those two scourges to work in the mansion."
"Master, when I say this now, I still feel chills in my heart. That's still my biological mother. If that's the case, if I'm gone in the future, I don't know what to do."
Hearing what she said, Lin Ruhai only shouted: "Don't talk such nonsense again! How can you curse yourself to death with empty teeth? It's still sunny, how can you say such nonsense!"
Jia Min also burst into tears, and only cried: "I shouldn't have said this, but I couldn't help thinking this way. When I was at home, my father loved me the most. Although my mother loved me too, men and women are different. But she valued her second elder brother more. Now I understand that mother's most beloved is probably only herself, otherwise, how could I allow that Wang's blind behavior in Jia's mansion!"
Lin Ruhai was about to speak, but Jia Min raised his hand to cover Lin Ruhai's lips, and said: "Master, after listening to me, I have been ill for so many days, and I am confused all day long, but I understand it better than usual. Very much."
"Don't be afraid of the master's jokes, the Duke's mansion is not the same as it used to be. When my father was here, how could there be such a tricky servant in the mansion who did evil? They were sent away far away, or sold or taken to the Zhuangzi, and dealt with severely. I never dared to do this again. But now, the head of the house has changed. The master also knew that my elder brother married a young lady of the Zhang family, and the management of the inner house was not dissatisfied. But since she left , the eldest brother married a bride, but he is a crab with no feet, and even I look down on the petty family, let alone the old lady. I had to push Mrs. Wang out to be the housekeeper."
While Jia Min was talking, she had long since refused to call Mrs. Wang the second sister-in-law.Although Lin Ruhai heard what she said, he couldn't bear to interrupt her, so he just listened and didn't speak.
"Since the Wang family has been in charge of the house, I just feel that I am like their money bag. Every time during the Chinese New Year, I wish I could vacate the house and go to my mother's house. But the master doesn't know what I am for. Do this!" Jia Min said, gritted his teeth bitterly and said: "The Wang family always writes letters saying that the family is difficult, the expenses are high, and the crops in the village are not good. Even the old lady I want to take my own body to fill the family. I heard, I don’t have the heart anymore, I just think about how to ask her to use her body money to fill the family at such an old age, of course I have to help a little bit.”
Lin Ruhai also understood at this time that it turned out that Jia Min gave so many gifts these years, just to feel sorry for his old mother, but she didn't know that those were her second sister-in-law's tricks, and she was fooled for nothing.
Jia Min said again: "Now I also understand. In the past, I seemed to be a foolish person. I only sent our family's money to my good second sister-in-law's pocket, and filled her private room. How can I ask for it again?" They came back! Now they are thinking about Yu'er again, no matter how foolish I am, I will never let my daughter suffer like this!"
Lin Ruhai was wondering how Jia Min understood it.Now when I heard it, I was shocked and said: "Why did Madam say that? What do you mean by 'they hit Yu'er's idea'?"
Jia Min didn't intend to hide it from him. Seeing Lin Ruhai's question, he said exactly what Jia's mother said in the letter, and said: "My lord, although I am filial to my mother, I see Wang's behavior. I don't want to be in-laws with her anymore. My mother said, "Kiss to be a relative", but I guessed that this was just what my mother wanted, and I didn't discuss it with Mrs. Wang. Her precious son who is like a phoenix egg, It is said that when the grass just fell, a piece of crystal beautiful jade came down from her mouth. Everyone in the house knew it, so my mother named him Baoyu. It is written to ask the poor people outside the city to call."
Hearing this, Lin Ruhai said repeatedly: "Extremely stupid! Extremely stupid! With such a background, being born in the royal family is naturally auspicious, but in a family like ours, even the wealth of the sky should not be so ostentatious! Such a I don’t know how to restrain myself, if I want people to read a book from the Holy One in the future, what should I do!”
"Why didn't I say that!" Jia Min cried: "I was not pregnant with Yu'er at the beginning, and the Wang family had already given birth to Baoyu. Later, when I became pregnant, the Wang family said that it was Baoyu's blessing, and it was a blessing for us. She wants to be good to the old lady, and wants me to accept her love. I just won't say it. If it is according to my opinion, Yu'er should fall in love with Ze'er luck."
Lin Ruhai just shook his head and sighed silently, thinking: The Yue family has gotten very close to Prince Zhongshun in recent years, seeing them acting like this now, you know it's the last thing to do.Even if I mentioned them, it would be useless, and I might even get involved with my own family.Thinking of such a handsome child as Daiyu, the Yue family was still thinking about hitting on her, Lin Ruhai only felt a sense of sadness in his heart, and just wanted to let go of the Yue family from now on.
But Jia Min said: "The old lady's mind is now clear to me, and she said that the precious jade was born with the jade when it fell into the grass, which is the most good luck. If you want Yu'er to marry Baoyu, the two jades will be paired together again. It's okay. I just answered my mother's intentions, thinking that my mother must blame me in her heart, but because of Yu'er, I won't bear it any longer."
Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "Of course."
Jia Min said again: "I'm afraid Mrs. Wang doesn't know about this, I have already ordered Lu Rou to give Mrs. Wang a big gift. Let's see, Mr. Wang, Mrs. Wang has never been a well-thought-out person. However, she managed to stay in the mansion with some unscrupulous means. She naturally took care of Baoyu as an eyeball. Now that she knows what the old lady is thinking, she will never agree to it. I am afraid that she will fight with the old lady in the near future. Since she did something wrong, the old lady has no reason to stand by her, this Rongguo Mansion's head should be put down by Mrs. Wang!"
Listening to what Jia Min said, Lin Ruhai knew that these inner house methods were women's business, so how could he, a man of seven feet, intervene.Then he bypassed this topic with a few words and talked about another matter.
"Now that you are feeling better, I have one more troublesome matter to discuss with you."
Hearing what Lin Ruhai said, although Jia Min was puzzled, he said with a smile on his face: "I'm in good health, but the master came to recruit me again. Don't be jealous of me, you have to bother me with something." Shall I?" He said again: "Master is in the front, so many things are decided without hesitation, why is he hesitant now? If it's a man's business, I have no reason to intervene."
Lin Ruhai only smiled and said: "How can you say that this is a matter of the man's family? It should be a matter of our husband and wife together."
It made Jia Min raise his eyebrows in doubt, and when Lin Ruhai spoke slowly, he smiled again: "What's the matter I said, the troublesome master is so worried, so it is this." Su slenderly tapped on the paper , Jia Min's beautiful eyes swept over the big characters on the paper one by one, and suddenly stopped on a word, and said: "Since the master circled this word, he must have already planned it, why do you still want to ask me?" , isn’t it obvious that you’re playing tricks on me? I won’t obey anymore!”
Lin Ruhai just smiled and looked over with Jia Min, the word "Lang" was circled with a vermilion pen on the paper.
"When you and I first became husband and wife, I had already planned that if we had a son in the future, we needed him to be a bright young man. In addition, "Mandarin" also mentioned that 'his holy energy is bright and bright'. If you want to match our son, it would be the best."
Jia Min said with a smile: "Master, this makes me think of the matter of naming Ze'er back then. At that time, the master was also like now, hesitant and hesitant. I laughed at the master and acted resolutely." After making people jealous, why did he shrink back when he chose a name? I still remember that the master said at the time that he had to choose a perfect name for Ze'er in order to fulfill his wish, but now seeing the word 'Lang', why did the master take the lead? I thought about it at the time, why didn't I use it for Ze'er?"
Lin Ruhai smiled wryly and said, "You must have forgotten. I also mentioned at the beginning that to name Ze'er, one must choose one of the characters for 'water'. It took a long time to decide on the character for 'Ze'."
"Yes, that's exactly what it said."
Jia Min clapped her hands and laughed, "Since the master chose the word 'water' for Ze'er, why can't our son be like Ze'er?"
"Then how can I do it? I am already of the Shui family, and if I want a child of the Shui family, how can I make it!"
"What happened to Ze'er? Could it be that he is not the master's son? Although Ze'er is an adopted child, I don't have the slightest heart for him. The master also loves Ze'er as his own son. Distinguish it like this when you name it?"
Seeing that Lin Ruhai didn't speak, Jia Min pointed out a word on the paper and said, "Since the master just said it, the matter of naming should be a joint matter between us. Since the master is hesitant, he must ask me to do it." It's decided. I only think of this word, it can't be better, so the master will draw it up."
Lin Ruhai looked intently and saw that what Jia Min was pointing to was the word "Lan". When asked what the meaning of this word was, Jia Min laughed and said: "In the chapter 'Yinxiu' in "Wen Xin Diao Long", it is mentioned: 'Zhu Yu Diving, and Lan Biao Fangyuan', Ze'er was named because they should come from the character of jade in this generation. But the master wanted to take the character of water for him, so he followed Xu Shuzhong's words: "Jade, the beauty of stone There are five virtues, moistening and warming, and benevolence.' Only then did the word 'Lin Ze' come into being. Now the names of the younger brother and elder brother should be in the same place, otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke if people read it?"
Lin Ruhai thought in his heart: I'm afraid that if someone reads it, they want to laugh at my son and I for a lifetime.Thinking about Lin Ze's naming at that time, it took a lot of effort. He was originally from the water family, but Lin Ze was also from the water family, but this water family is very different. He just thought, if in the future Today I want to recognize Lin Ze, this name... Hey, I think I'm shooting myself in the foot now.He never thought that at the age of forty, he could have another son. Presumably it was God's favor, so he took this name... It's not an exaggeration.
Lin Ruhai was in a daze on this side, but Jia Min said softly, "Master, when I was pregnant with him, I didn't know it was twins, and it was because I was so weak that I couldn't keep that child for my master." .This child has experienced such a big ups and downs since he was born, and the word Lan also means waves. If you use the waves to suppress the waves, maybe the road in the future will be easier."
Lin Ruhai sighed slightly, held Jia Min's icy fingers, and said, "Just follow Madam's wishes. Lan'er will be fine in the future, and Madam should relax, otherwise how will the children deal with themselves? How am I supposed to deal with myself?"
The husband and wife spoke in turn, and there was no gap in their hearts, just like returning to the loving days when the husband and wife married each other and their hearts were easy to communicate with each other.Green Rou Rou Hong Xing winked very much and did not come to disturb her.Lin Ruhai rested in Jia Min's room, and the husband and wife talked a lot before going to sleep, talking and laughing in a low voice before falling asleep.I don't need to mention a good night's dream.
Besides, Lin Ze has been taking care of the baby every day and night in the past few days. Although it is hard work, he is very happy in his heart.When Daiyu was young, he also thought about being by her side day and night like this, but because of the heavy homework, he had to take a break from his busy schedule to see Daiyu.What's more, we were young at that time, so we don't remember many things.It's different now, with the ready-made milk doll sleeping beside him, Lin Ze has 1 willingness to serve him, so he won't sleep.Being forced by Shui Zhan to go to sleep twice, he refused to do so. He just rolled around and acted cute, which made Shui Zhan laugh and cry and couldn't bear it.
Just looking at the heavy dark circles under Lin Ze's eyes, Shui Zhan once again gave Lin Ze a hard look at a certain baby on the bamboo bed.It's all you little bastard who made his little Jiu'er work so hard, he really deserves to be beaten.Thinking about it, I stretched out my hand and patted the round buttocks of the milk doll lightly. It didn't take much force. The little milk doll seemed to sense the deep malice from this world, and pursed her mouth, "Wow!" I burst into tears.
When Lin Ze came in, he saw the sweat on Shui Zhan's head, and the baby on the bamboo bed was crying miserably.Busy over to gently pat the baby, Lin Ze turned his head to look at Shui Zhan when the baby stopped crying.
Before Shui Zhan could speak, Lin Ze smiled and said, "Ah, I can't do it without me. The third brother won't coax Lan'er when she cries, so don't drive me to sleep again."
Shui Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Lin Ze like this, he didn't realize that he did evil.But wait... Lan'er?Glancing at the milk doll on the small bamboo bed who was sucking his fingers very sweetly, Shui Zhan pointed tremblingly, and asked in order to confirm: "Lan'er, is it him?"
"Well, Lan'er! The master said, the door at the water's edge, said Lan. Lan'er encountered a big ups and downs since she was born, so I hope that the road will be smooth in the future. Besides, it also contains the meaning of the word jade. Inside."
"Jade characters?"
"In the chapter 'Yinxiu' of "Wen Xin Diao Long", there is: 'Pearls and jade dive, while Lan shows a circle'. Lan'er was born... well, such a round and jade-like man, he must be a gentle man like jade in the future."
Shocked by Lin Ze's description, Shui Zhan didn't speak in a daze, but took a sympathetic look at the little milk baby who was evaluated by his brother as "beautiful and beautiful", and then nodded silently.That's right, it is indeed round and smooth, very...fat!
As for whether he will grow into a gentle man like jade in the future, the little Lin Lan can only open his mouth and smile at you with his toothless teeth, which means, I am hungry now, give me a cup first Milk!
Lin Fuyan laughed at Yanyan, and the great joy and sorrow experienced on August [-]th seemed to have passed because of Jia Min's improvement.
