Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

The person Lin Ruhai was talking about was Zhen Fei from Changmen City, whose name was a scholar hermit.

The Zhen family was originally a family of eunuchs in the countryside. Although the family was not very rich, because of Zhen Shiyin's indifferent nature and his wife Fengshi's deep understanding of propriety and righteousness, they were promoted by Changmen City as a local prominent family, but they were not very popular in Gusu. Lin Ruhai Most of his friends are from aristocratic families on weekdays, so he doesn't know who Zhen Shiyin is. Now when he remembers Zhen Shiyin, he has to start from Lin Ruhai's time when his ghost was wandering.

Xiangling asks Daiyu to learn poetry as her teacher, Lin Ruhai secretly laughs that her daughter is still a teacher at a young age, although Xiangling is a girl, she is no worse than the girl of the master, gentle and quiet, with a refined temperament and first-class character, what is rare is that she is innocent , Su Wuji.

Daiyu didn't care that Xiangling was the concubine of Xue's family. Lin Ruhai was Daiyu's father, so she naturally didn't judge others based on her family background. Instead, she liked that she could accompany Daiyu to relieve her worries, so that Daiyu would not be sentimental. His wife, Xia Shi, tortured her in every possible way, and although she followed Baochai and became ill again, Baochai lived in the same hospital with her mother and brother, so she could not avoid being tortured by Xia Jingui again, and died at a young age.

After Xiangling died, Daiyu cried hard and was depressed for several days. Seeing this, Lin Ruhai also felt that this woman was extremely miserable, but what Lin Ruhai remembered in his heart was that shortly after Xiangling's death, he accidentally drifted away. At Jia Yucun's mansion, he happened to overhear the conversation between Jia Yucun and his wife. Lin Ruhai only knew the origin of Xiangling, and not long after the Rongguo Mansion was destroyed, Jia Yucun was convicted. , I also know why Xiangling ended up like this. It turns out that Xiangling is from Gusu, her original surname is Zhen, her first name is Yinglian, and she is a pampered and pampered daughter of a prominent family.

When Lin Ruhai invited Jia Yucun to be Daiyu's teacher, he also inquired about Jia Yucun's personality. The reason why he hired him was that although he was greedy and cruel as an official, he did not forget the kindness of his old friend. It was at that time that Lin Ruhai knew about the Zhen family, and he was quite emotional, but he didn't expect that Jia Yucun would be recommended by himself later, and Jia Zheng contributed. In order to cling to the Jia and Wang families, he He was so ungrateful that instead of rescuing Yinglian, he arbitrarily judged the case.

For Zhen Shiyin, Lin Ruhai not only felt a little bit of sympathy for him, but also felt that he was too ruthless to abandon his old wife. Although it is very sad that their husband and wife have ended up in Susukina's dilapidated house, but Feng Shi has lost his daughter. After losing her husband, it would be better to be a widow, but if she is abandoned, one can imagine her final fate.

Since Lin Ruhai was reborn, he decided to change his destiny in the future. He asked Zhen Shiyin to be his teacher, naturally, to prevent Xiangling from ending up like that, because he vaguely felt that Xiangling's death seemed to be a beginning, showing the tragic fate of all women.

Not long after Xiangling's death, bad news came one after another, which almost made him dizzy. Widowed, Xichun's escape, Miaoyu's defilement, Qiaojie's fall, and finally ending with Li Wan's middle-aged bereaved son and Baochai staying alone in the vacant house.

If a little kindness can change Xiangling's fate, then he will be more confident to change his daughter's fate, not to mention that Zhen Shiyin is indeed worthy of his personal invitation.

Lin Ruhai first sent someone to send a greeting card to show his solemnity.

Although Jia Min didn't know what Lin Ruhai was thinking, but hearing Lin Ruhai talk about Zhen Shiyin and his wife, he couldn't help feeling a little fond of him, so he hurriedly prepared four kinds of gifts. Zhen Shiyin was given brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, new books, etc., and Feng's was Silk palace flowers and the like.

Zhen Shiyin was surprised when he received Lin Ruhai's invitation.Changmen City is not close to Gusu City, but it belongs to Gusu City. Lin Ruhai has extraordinary talent and stunning demeanor. Zhen Shiyin has heard his name for a long time. I know what he meant by sending the greeting card suddenly today.

Zhen Shiyin was full of doubts, but he still replied the greeting card according to the courtesy.

Lin Ruhai came to visit immediately after receiving the reply.

Zhen Shiyin listened to the announcement, hurriedly adjusted his clothes, greeted him in the front hall, ordered the boy to offer tea, exchanged three or four words of greeting, Lin Ruhai proposed the purpose of coming, and said: "Reading is for fun, and it shouldn't be tied to fame and fortune, but most people in the world regard it as a pleasure." Studying for profit is putting the cart before the horse, Wansheng refuses to use it to teach the children of the family, and has heard of Mr.'s elegant writing for a long time, so I come here to invite Mr. to come out of the mountain. If you get Mr.'s help, you will be very lucky."

Zhen Shiyin couldn't help being very surprised when he heard the words, and said: "How can I get such praise from my brother?"

Lin Ruhai hurriedly laughed and said, "It's enough to be indifferent to show your ambitions, and to be quiet to go far."

Zhen Shiyin was also an official, but he was calm and had no heirs. When he was about to stand up, he resigned from office with his wife and returned to his hometown. This resignation, but my younger brother has resigned from office, and for many years, I have been accompanied by poems, books, flowers and trees every day, running against stereotypes, fearing that I will mislead my younger brother, it is really difficult to take on this task, please invite someone else."

Zhen Shiyin's refusal was expected by Lin Ruhai, and he said with a smile: "Mr. is so calm, I shouldn't have disturbed him. It's my later life's presumptuousness. Why do you have to accuse me like this?"

Zhen Shiyin's heart suddenly widened. The Zhen family was just an ordinary eunuch's family, a drop in the ocean in Gusu. If Lin Ruhai insisted, it would be difficult for him to compete with his family's power. Seeing that he is humble and kind, and does not force himself, Zhen Shiyin felt a good impression of him. Come, said: "Although I can't, there is someone who can recommend me to my brother. I wonder if I would like to hear it?"

Lin Ruhai was worrying that there was no one to be the teacher of the Tianzihao students, so he hurriedly asked who it was.

Zhen Shiyin smiled and said: "It's Yan Jing, my younger brother's fellow subject. Jing's brother won No. 7 in the second class. He never thought of fame, and his temperament was too straightforward. He was not used to officialdom. After a few years, the official returned to his hometown to teach, devoted himself to teaching students, wrote books and set up biographies, and used to sit in a private school, but unexpectedly offended the powerful, no one dared to worship him as a teacher, and now he is at home."

Lin Ruhai's heart suddenly moved, Zhen Shiyin was originally a first-class character of a god, and he must be very human to be recommended by him like this, so he hurriedly asked: "I don't know which dignitary Mr. Yan offended?"

Zhen Shiyin sighed softly, and said: "Speaking of which, I have the same surname as my younger brother, but my younger brother is far behind. He is the Zhen family who is ranked first in Jinling and has served four times."

Lin Ruhai was startled, and said, "So it's his house!"

Zhen Shiyin nodded, with a sad expression on his face, and said: "The Zhen family has a son, and they are extremely arrogant. I heard that Dejing's brother resigned from office and returned to his hometown. He is quite famous, so he relied on his power to invite him to sit in the hall. However, Jing's brother refused. It has become a crime, and now there are no books to teach, it is difficult to continue, and it is very desolate. If you think it is worthless, you have never heard this word."

Lin Ruhai smiled, and said proudly: "Sir, what you said is wrong. If we are scholars, if we succumb to the powerful, how can we be called scholars? Don't insult the word "study". Jinling Zhen's family is indeed powerful, and my Lin family is also a scholar." He is not a fly, so he has nothing to fear, not to mention that although he has no contact with the Zhen family, the Zhen family is an old relative of Wansheng Yue's family, and they have a deep friendship, so I forgive them for not making things difficult for Wansheng because of such a small matter. Mr. Ruoyan should be a teacher What's the matter, please?"

Zhen Shiyin was overjoyed, and said: "If brother Jing is appreciated by brother, and stay away from the place of right and wrong in Jinling, my heart will be comforted."

Lin Ruhai thought to himself, and said: "After listening to Mr. Wansheng's words, after Wansheng returns, we will send someone to Jinling to inquire in detail. If Mr. Yan really does what he said, and is willing to come, Wansheng will personally invite you."

Zhen Shiyin smiled and said, "It should be so."

At the moment, he ordered someone to prepare the meal and accompanied him personally. Because of Lin Ruhai's filial piety, no wine was served until the evening, when the two separated.

When Lin Ruhai returned home, it was pitch black. Jia Min came to pick up the azurite cloak he had taken off, and complained, "Why did you come back so late? I have already sent three or four groups of people to wait at the door."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "The words and conversations agree, so I stayed for a while."

Jia Min asked: "Did you agree to Master's request?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head with a smile on his face.

Jia Min nodded and sighed, "My master said earlier that Master Zhen is calm and calm. If so, it shouldn't be unreasonable. It's just that the gentlemen in the academy can't be delayed. I wonder what the master plans to do?"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "I'll go to Jinling in person tomorrow morning." As he spoke, he told her about Mr. Yan.

Jia Min pondered for a while, and said: "But just refuse to go to the Zhen family to be a teacher, and the Zhen family has left the husband with no one to teach, and it is a bit of a bully. The Zhen family and my natal family are old relatives, and Mrs. Zhen has not left the cabinet. I had some kind of friendship with me before, tomorrow I will prepare some gifts, and then edit a letter to intercede for Mr. Yan, this idea still has some face."

In this way, there is no need for Lin Ruhai to come forward, nor will he owe the Zhen family favors.

Lin Ruhai treated Jia Min with consideration, and Jia Min naturally put himself in Lin Ruhai's shoes. If Lin Ruhai owed favors to the Zhen family, he would be involved in officialdom in the future. If the Zhen family had something to do, it would be difficult for Lin Ruhai to refuse.

And she is only a female family member, and she has an old relationship with Mrs. Zhen. The Zhen family and the Jia family have been friends for several lifetimes, and this matter can be resolved with a few words. , wouldn't care about Mr. Yan who doesn't know good or bad at all, but the people below followed suit, and seeing Mr. Yan offended the Zhen family, they immediately avoided him.

Lin Ruhai also understood the reason, and said with a smile: "In this way, there will be Mrs. Lao."

Jia Min glanced at him and said angrily, "How do you say that? Our family is still divided for this life?"

Under the light, Lin Ruhai saw her eyes sparkling, angry but affectionate, couldn't help but feel moved, took her hand, smiled and confessed, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, madam is right, you and I are one, no As it should be."

Seeing him like this, Jia Min burst out laughing.

That night, the husband and wife rested separately, without talking for a night.

Early the next morning, Lin Ruhai ordered someone to take care of the car and luggage. Jia Min had already prepared gifts and letters for Mrs. Zhen, and watched Lin Ruhai leave the second door to Jinling.
