Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed, and in June, the sun is scorching like fire, only a pool of lotus blooms just right, the water color is like blue, the lotus leaves are like a plate, white butterflies are lingering around the newly bloomed white lotus, silver carp and red carp are in the leaves. Frolicking endlessly in the bottom water.

Lin Ruhai leaned on the railing and casually sprinkled some fish food, causing the fish in the lake to scramble to snatch it.

He was wearing a lotus-colored gauze shirt, tied with a white jade belt, revealing a bit of white trousers underneath, and his dark black hair was hanging down, like splashed ink, and made his face look like powder, his lips were painted vermilion, and the lotus in the pool was not as good Its freshness, when Jia Min saw it when he came over, he felt infinite joy in his heart, and the corners of his brows and eyes were full of satisfaction.

She thought that her previous life was good enough, the husband and wife were loving, the mother-in-law was not the one who treated her daughter-in-law harshly, and she didn't dare to treat her daughter-in-law harshly, she didn't expect that she could go further and live the life she dreamed of, without an aunt, without Tongfang girl, there are only husbands and wives, even if she goes out to socialize with others in the future to ridicule her for being jealous, she will not care, after all, the good life is her own, so she will not gossip about a house full of concubines and girls just because of other people's gossip.

Coincidentally, Jia Min also wore a lotus-colored gauze shirt today, with a white satin skirt and a silver hairpin in a bun. He stood with Lin Ruhai. He was a handsome man and a pretty woman.

Qingkong and Yudie, Jia Min's close maids, presented iced lychees on a white agate plate wrapped in silk, and looked at each other with smiles. Lin Ruhai dismissed Chunlan Qiuju and the others. It can be seen that they valued Jia Min very much, and they naturally loved Jia Min. To joy, the mistress of the house who is respected and cherished by her husband is very different from those wives who only treat their husbands with respect. His status suddenly rose.

Lin Ruhai put down the fish food, washed his hands, took Jia Min to sit on the rattan chair under the shade of the flowers, picked up a lychee, peeled it and handed it to Jia Min, saying: "Although the lychee is good, the sex is hot. It’s just a poop, don’t eat too much.”

In order to live a few more years and see a pair of children get married safely, he now pays great attention to health preservation. He is resigned to his fate for his children, and he will not let Jia Min eat those folk remedies that are conducive to childbirth. The well-known local doctor who took care of Yu often checked the pulse, but in just a few months, the husband and wife were already full of energy and looking very good.

Jia Min smiled softly and nodded.

After eating lychees and rinsing his mouth, Jia Min suddenly remembered something, and said to Lin Ruhai, "I received a letter from my natal family yesterday."

Although Lin Ruhai's hatred for the Rongguo Mansion has gradually subsided, he will never entrust Daiyu to them again in this life, and he does not want to have the same relationship as in his previous life. He did not show any strangeness on his face, and asked: "The letter said what?"

Jia Min said: "Didn't you report the funeral to my natal family at the beginning of the year? No, it's really annoying."

At that time, it was very inconvenient to communicate with each other, and there were many people who had not heard from each other for several years. Their family is not an ordinary family, so communication is cheaper. If so, it is very good to write back once a year, but it has been five years since she left the cabinet. At first, the Lin family also lived in the capital, and they often communicated with each other, so there was no regret. Now that Mr. Lin has left, the family is far away from the capital, so they feel that communication is inconvenient.

Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment, and asked, "Is father-in-law's family okay? Why didn't you see your second brother-in-law go back to his hometown for the exam?"

If I remember correctly, Jia Daishan is still here now, and he will pass away in September this year. Jia Amnesty still has an official position because he donated an official in his early years. His original wife, Mrs. Li, died less than a year ago. He is a white body, he is an upright and kind-hearted Jia Zheng, he has the heritage of his ancestors, he is not frivolous, so he has always been on good terms with him. Unexpectedly, he has been wandering in the Rongguo Mansion for many years before he can clearly see what he is, but his uncle will take care of Daiyu a little , Daiyu will not die tragically.

Jia Zheng, he really misjudged the person, the world is cold, the ancients never deceived me.

At that time, after his death, Jia Lian brought his family's property to Beijing, except for their private affairs, and the rest of the property was put into the warehouse in a mighty way. Yu presided over justice, and the servants talked a lot, so that even though Daiyu knew that her family had an inheritance, she could only lament to herself, saying that every piece of grass and paper was supplied by Rongguo Mansion.

So Lin Ruhai deliberately mentioned Jia Zheng, and he saw Jia Min blushed slightly, and said: "How can the second brother be compared with the master? The master is a Gongsheng at a young age, and the second brother is a few years older than the master. He didn't even win the scholar. A few years ago, I was interested in studying poetry and books, but now I don’t want to go back to my hometown to take the exam, saying that I teach Zhu’er at home, hoping that Zhu’er will go to high school in the future.”

Jia Min sighed at this point, and said: "It is said that ten years of hard work, how many students will not give up when they pass the exam with gray hair, those are still poor, there is nothing to say, if the poor are like this, it is impossible I took it. Although people like us can afford it, I never thought that the second brother would lose his fighting spirit before he was 30 years old, so he would have to rely on the shade of his ancestors? But even if he relies on the shadow of his ancestors, the title of the family will belong to the elder brother in the future." It's good to have a noble family, but it's more important for brothers to be proud. If my two elder brothers are capable, wouldn't I have more confidence in my husband's family?It can also complement her husband in officialdom.

Jia Amnesty was doted on by her deceased grandmother and only knew how to roam around, wandering around, but Jia Zheng had stopped studying and progressing, and he didn't have much talent. His natal brother didn't live up to it. Come out a few minutes.

Lin Ruhai comforted: "Don't worry, the second brother-in-law didn't come from the imperial examination, so I think my father-in-law has other arrangements."

Jia Daishan is a shrewd person. He seems to want to change his family and let his descendants abandon martial arts and follow literature. His daughter Jia Min will marry him. Wang Ziteng's younger sister contacted the four major families, and usually supervised Jia Zheng's study and progress, so that she was born in Kedi.

But Jia Min said: "I guess my father's thoughts are eight or nine. It is nothing more than that the elder brother will win the title in the future and donate an official to the second brother. Although it is easy for people like us to donate an official, it is better than being just and obedient. Passed the imperial examination."

A hint of appreciation flashed in Lin Ruhai's eyes, but it was Jia Daishan who gave Jia Zheng the title of chief executive in his last memorial, saying that the men in the Jia family have no skills, but the daughters are all outstanding, whether it is Jia Min today, or Yuanchun, Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun, in terms of talent and character, are ten times better than Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Zhu, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and others.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai suddenly thought of Jia Lian. He naturally didn't like Jia Lian's behavior, but he was grateful for his decision to let Xueyan send Daiyu's coffin back to his hometown. Without him, Daiyu would not be able to rest in peace after death, let alone Now he is just a three-year-old child, ignorant and ignorant. If he is well-bred, he will never be as lustful, money-greedy, mediocre and incompetent as in his previous life. It is clear that Jia Lian is good-looking, has good qualifications, and is also tactful, so he is placed in front of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang It's not even as good as Jia Zhu's.

Jia Lian's mother, Mrs. Li, passed away early, and the status of Jia She married was too low to fill the house.

Jia Lian ended up like that, and if you think about it, you can’t blame anyone. How can a parent not love his son but love his nephew?She didn't raise Jia Baoyu and Jia's mother very well, and she spoiled Jia Lian so much that she didn't go to school every day. How could she pay attention to Jia Lian's studies, and Mrs. Wang had her own children and was just an aunt, so naturally she didn't care about Jia Lian.

What the Jia family did to Daiyu was almost always the decision of the Second Household. Lin Ruhai hated it very much and was willing to add trouble to the Second Household and support the eldest family. I didn't feel sorry for Daiyu, I tried every means to make Jia Lian better than Jia Zhu, so that he would not be complacent about helping the second room manager run errands in the future.

Marriage is a good thing for two surnames, and it is a good thing for the children and grandchildren of the wife and family to grow up. He doesn't want the disaster of the Rongguo Mansion's family raiding and extermination to affect the Lin family.

When Lin Ruhai asked about the children in the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Min only said that he envied that his two elder brothers had sons. He felt sour and said without thinking too much: "My mother said in the letter that the second elder brother's Zhu'er was enlightened at the age of three. He's only five years old, but he can already recognize thousands of characters, Yuan Chun was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so he's one year old this year, coincidentally on the same day as his grandfather, he's also very smart, and his father loves him very much."

Lin Ruhai asked: "Why didn't you mention the eldest brother's brother?"

Hearing this, Jia Min frowned slightly, and said: "Master, don't tell me, I haven't paid attention to it yet. Considering his age, Lian'er is three years old, so he should be enlightened. My sister-in-law passed away last year, and he is the only child left. There is no mistress to take care of her here, so she must be raised by her mother, why didn’t she mention it in her letter, but instead praised the two children in the second elder brother’s room full of praise?”

The more Jia Min thinks about it, the more she feels that something is wrong. Is her mother too indifferent to her elder brother?

No matter how bad the elder brother is, he is still the legitimate eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion. Lian'er is the eldest son and grandson who inherits Zong Zhen, and his status is far more valuable than Jia Zhu. Lian'er cannot be underestimated just because the elder brother is incompetent.

The eldest brother’s marriage was arranged by his father who personally invited the official media to visit him. The elder sister-in-law was born in a scholarly family, her father and brother are both Hanlin, her foundation is noble, her family style is upright, she herself is elegant and elegant, and she understands etiquette and righteousness. They are very friendly, but because the elder sister-in-law has been depressed for many years without having a child, the second sister-in-law Wang who came in later married Jia Zhu, so the mother prefers the second brother's family. The elder sister-in-law gave birth to Jia Lian a year later, but she became weaker and weaker. He died when he was less than thirty.

Having been in the house for many years without a child, it is inevitable that some rabbits and foxes are sad and hurt others. Fortunately, Lin Ruhai is different from his big brother, who has one house after another, and now he has dismissed those girls.

Lin Ruhai said: "Why don't you write and ask brother-in-law, if there is any difficulty, we can help you as uncles and aunts."

Jia Min's expression was hesitant. She knew that her eldest brother had a temper and a romantic personality, and he didn't like to study and make progress, so Lin Ruhai didn't like it. The friendship between the second brother and Lin Ruhai was not as good. Now that Lin Ruhai suddenly said this, she felt a little strange.

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Brother, as the eldest son, he doesn't think about making progress, so he feels something is wrong. Now that he has experienced many things, he can see it more clearly. Brother, it's not that he is ignorant, although his temperament is more sloppy. , but I haven’t caused any serious trouble to my family, I heard that brother-in-law is very talented in appreciating antiques, calligraphy and painting, and I would like to ask for advice when we meet.”

Seeing that Lin Ruhai didn't look at Jia She as he did in previous years, Jia Min's eyes flashed with joy, and he hurriedly said: "Master is too good, big brother's eyesight is only better than ordinary people, but it's not as good as master."

The author has something to say:

According to the original book, Jia Lian is the eldest son of Jia She, and there is no such person as Jia Hu, but some loopholes say that Jia Lian has an elder brother, and Hulian is a sacrificial vessel in the ancient ancestral temple. It is reasonable to say that Jia Lian should have an elder brother, but Because the original book is full of contradictions and there are so many big bugs, Jia Lian is set here as the eldest son of Jia She, without Jia Hu.
