Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

Hearing the decree, the whole family didn't know the joys and sorrows, so they hurriedly ordered Lin Rui to change clothes.

Lin Rui just came back from outside the city, still wearing plain clothes, said to Lu Xin, and then went back to the room, the maids in the room had already brought out Lin Rui's clothes, the Jia family's behavior was not very proper, but the maids were very sensible, and they did not work well. Meticulous, but what I took was the new red arrow sleeve made for Lin Rui by the Rongguo Mansion under Nianxia, ​​which was very bright.

Lin Rui often wore this color before he was seven years old, but he has grown up and doesn't like it very much, so he pointed to a dress with a stable color, and said: "Pair it with the pouch shoes and socks that Sister Zhao made for me. "

Not long after Lin Rui entered Beijing, he went to see Zhao An in person. The siblings met, and he was very happy. Zhao An was waiting at home to get married and never went out. The family did not dare to bully her. The only way to relieve boredom was to do needlework, which was the first time in many years. When I saw Lin Rui again, and it was Lin Rui's birthday, I made two sets of clothes, shoes and socks with my own hands, which were really exquisite.

The servant girl serving by Lin Rui's side is the little servant girl who is the general leader of the thrush. Seeing this, she smiled and said, "It's the uncle after all, and he deserves to look good."

Lin Rui hurriedly changed his clothes, and went out to follow Lu Xin into the palace.

Hearing the news, Baoyu said, "It's all right, what is brother Lin going to do in the palace?"

Yingchun, Tanchun, etc. were all waiting in Jiamu's room. After hearing this, Yingchun said softly, "If nothing happens, you must not enter the palace. Brother Lin has been in the capital for a long time, and it is unknown whether Brother Lin is in the palace." Although she was naturally temperamental and taciturn, Madam Dou was very well-bred. She was gentle but not cowardly, soft-spoken without showing sharpness, and Baoyu liked her the most.

Tan Chun said: "Going to the palace to face the Holy Spirit, what a dignity it is, no one else can ask for it."

Yingchun glanced at Tanchun, sighed secretly, and said nothing more.She is glad that she has a loving mother, who taught herself since she was a child. The young lady in the family has learned everything she should have learned. The wife has taught everything that was not taught at home. Now she is taking care of Jia Cong, and she is always attentive, even if the master often drinks with his aunts. Lost respect for my wife.On the other hand, Tanchun grew up in Jiamu's place, and Aunt Zhao often ran to her and confessed that she was her biological mother, and she was very vulgar, which made Tanchun feel ashamed in Jiamu's room.

Yingchun has a pure heart and has lived in Jiamu's house for many years. When the servants were negligent, she took extra care of her two younger sisters. She wanted to set an example and relieve Jiamu's worries, but she was clumsy and tongue-tied, so she couldn't do it. It's better to explore spring to please Jia Mu.

Yingchun thought, Tanchun is more capable and smarter than herself, she has a mother-in-law and a mother-in-law, and she lives better than herself, so there is no need for her to take care of her, but Xichun lost her mother at a young age, and having a father means nothing. After all, living in Rongguo Mansion is no better than Ningguo Mansion, so they take care of Xichun more.

Therefore, after listening to Tanchun's words, Yingchun sat on the kang to tease Chun's stubbornness, and stopped talking.

Xichun pulled the palace sash on the clothes with his hands, and the jasper pendant that Lin Rui said was a gift from Daiyu was tied on the palace sash.The servants saw that Jia Mu loved Lin Rui very much. In order to please Jia Mu, the nanny and girl beside them gave them the jade pendant, so that when Jia Mu saw it, she would praise Lin Rui again, so that she could call Jia Mu joy.

Yingchun persuaded Xichun a few words, and teased her with other things, only to hear Baoyu displeased and said: "What's so good in the palace? The elder sister went in and never came back. You only know the wealth and honor in the palace, how do you know whether you can see it or not?" Seeing the suffering of my parents? I just want my elder sister to stay at home for a long time, instead of going somewhere and never seeing her face again. It’s almost Chinese New Year, and my elder sister will take me to enjoy plum blossoms in the garden at this time , and taught me to read poems, I really miss Eldest Sister, I wonder if Brother Lin will see Eldest Sister when he enters the palace this time."

When it came to the emotional part, Baoyu couldn't help but shed tears, sighed for a while, and secretly blamed his parents for sending Yuanchun into the palace.

Unlike the young Xichun, Yingchun remembers Yuanchun deeply, and thought in her heart that Yuanchun is the grand lady of their family, with good looks and talents, unlike herself who is incompetent except playing chess. Who would have expected that she would enter the palace suddenly.Yingchun was secretly afraid, afraid that she would be like Yuanchun in the future. Fortunately, she overheard when his wife was talking to the master. The master originally told his wife that he would make himself as rich as his elder sister in the future, but was reprimanded by his wife.

Tanchun said: "Second brother, you know more words and read more than I do, why don't you know the hard work of the master and wife?"

Baoyu is angry and ignores her.

Xiangyun listened quietly, and when he saw Baoyu like this, he hurriedly handed over a handkerchief and said, "Second brother, wipe your tears quickly, don't let the old ancestor see you, feel sorry for you, and scold others for not serving you well. "

Baoyufang took the handkerchief and wiped away his tears. Sure enough, they saw Jia Mu, Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty coming in, and everyone got up quickly.

Jia's mother sat on the kang, and ordered Baoyu Xiangyun to sit on the left and right. Fang said worriedly to the sons standing at the moment: "Rui'er has been tired for so many days, and I feel distressed when I look at it. I only heard that she was in Shenyang yesterday. My master met Mingjun King at the road sacrifice, why did the sage announce him into the palace today? Don't make things difficult for him."

Before Jia Amnesty opened his mouth, Jia Zheng comforted him, "Mother, don't worry, brother Rui knows what's so great about a child?"

Jia She also smiled and said: "That's right, old lady, don't worry too much. Brother Rui is smart, who can compare to him among ordinary people? The saint is wise, how can he embarrass a child? I think it must be because of his sister-in-law. In the past, after asking a few words, he was sent out of the palace, and being able to enter the palace to meet the saint is a blessing that no one can ask for."

Jia Amnesty was very envious of Lin Ruhai. Since he became a prince, he only showed his face in front of Emperor Xuankang when he paid back the money. Except when Jia Zheng met him when he first became an official, he didn't usually have the time to meet him.At Lin Rui's age, their son was not as stable as Lin Rui, and Lian'er was fine, and got a reputation, not to mention Jia Zhu, I'm afraid Emperor Xuankang didn't even know who Jia Zhu was.

Thinking of this, Jia Amnesty gave Jia Lian a hard look. He had already won the honor of juren, but he has not been admitted to the Jinshi yet.

Jia Lian couldn't help being baffled by this cold look. He took a step forward, agreed with Jia Amnesty, and said to Jia's mother, "Old ancestor, Brother Lin has already entered the palace. Let's think about it and wait."

Jia Mu sighed and said, "That's the only way."

Before she could say a word, she suddenly saw Mrs. Wang coming in with a smile on her face. Mother Jia couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, so happy?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly laughed and said: "Just now my sister-in-law sent a letter, saying that Brother Feng is happy. I'll tell the old lady, what should we send? Zhen Guogong and our family have been friends for a hundred years." Sister Feng Mrs. Wang felt very sorry for not marrying Jia Lian. Fortunately, Li Wan was often able to help after she came in.Zhen Guogong is the head of the eight princes, and Niu Jizong is the first-class uncle, what a glory, Niu Yaozu's future succession to the title will certainly not be lower than Jia She, on the contrary, Jia Lian's title is far inferior to him.

When Jia Mu heard this, she smiled and said, "I like Brother Feng's temper the most. If you give birth to a big fat boy in the future, you will be able to stand firmly in your husband's house. If you don't prepare gifts exclusively, I will also take two ladders." Give it to her, when she can go out, she can come and see my old lady."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly thanked Sister Feng.

Not mentioning the Jia family, but saying that Lin Rui entered the Daming Palace and got the order to enter. He saw His Royal Highness wearing ordinary clothes and sitting under Emperor Xuankang.

After reading it, Lin Rui said in his heart: "Looking at the way His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince treat me, it's no different from how my father treats me." He hurriedly kowtowed down.

Emperor Xuankang waved his hand, called out, and looked carefully at him, seeing that he advanced and retreated well, and behaved properly, he nodded secretly.Both he and the crown prince knew about Lin Ruhai's son. Although he had never heard of any rumors of a genius, he had seen a lot of articles written by Yu Heng. There is no such thing as lack of talent, and he was clearly another Lin Ruhai. It's just that they didn't advertise it.

The eldest son of the crown prince, Tu Yi, was about the same age as Lin Rui. The crown prince thought that he was the son of a concubine, and he valued the concubine more than the concubine. Moving like a mountain, on the contrary, his reputation in Qingliu is much better than in the past, so when he saw Lin Rui, he felt a three-point love in his heart, and said with a smile: "Father, this child of the Lin family really looks like Master Lin, I remember When Mr. Lin was so old, he also entered the palace with old Mr. Lin."

Hearing what he said, Emperor Xuankang immediately recalled the past, and said with a smile: "You are several years younger than Lin Aiqing, it's hard for you to remember that you were only five or six years old at that time, and you had the most domineering personality. As a child of an important official's family, you will be very dissatisfied if you praise Lin Aiqing a few words, and I have to say that your articles are better than his."

Prince Nahan said: "Is there another matter? My son doesn't remember."

Emperor Xuankang nodded and smiled: "There are many such things, but you were young at that time, so you don't remember. In the blink of an eye, two or thirty years have passed, and you have become a father, and you are more stable. I am very relieved."

The crown prince blushed, and said: "My son has made my father bother me."

Emperor Xuankang said: "You know the joy of being a father, so why bother?"

After finishing speaking, he said to Lin Rui: "Do you know why I summoned you to the palace today?"

Lin Rui said respectfully: "The grass people don't know, please ask the sage to make it clear so that the grass people can correct it after they know." He caught a glimpse of the prince sitting next to him with a smile all the time, and he felt a little sure. His father once said that he had helped the prince a lot. It is worth Xuankangdi specially summoning himself into the palace, he must not be so calm.

Emperor Xuankang said with a stern face: "Early this morning, the King of Ming County said that he liked you as the son's companion, what do you say?"

Lin Rui hurriedly said: "The grass people are terrified. Although the grass people were lucky enough to pay a visit to the prince of Ming County yesterday and received the beautiful jade from the sage, they know that they are ignorant of their talents and lack of discipline, so they dare not take on this important task."

Emperor Xuankang said: "But I heard that you have already agreed."

The prince also looked at Lin Rui, thinking about how he could defend himself in front of Emperor Xuankang.

Lin Rui heard this, and said in a calm manner: "Reporting to the sage, I know that the Caomin never promised the prince of Mingjun. Because the prince of Mingjun said that there are many high-level people in the palace, if I don't have a husband to teach me homework, I will go to ask those high-level people. It's just that the grass-roots have not agreed to it. Because Jia Yan communicated with Mr. Guo Fuxian, the same subject, and asked Cao Min to learn from Mr. Guo, so it is not easy to go to Mingjun Palace to disturb the peace of the prince."

Seeing his calmness, Emperor Xuankang flashed a hint of admiration on his face, and said: "So that's how it is. The king of Ming County didn't know that you already had a husband, so he said so. However, the Mr. Guo you mentioned has already been dismissed from office. The gentleman in the palace?"

Lin Ruidao: "The caomin know that Mr. Guo's talent is not comparable to the high-ranking people in the palace. If my head is bad, it would be more appropriate to ask Mr. Guo for advice. Mr. Guo and Jia Yan have a good relationship, even if I am as stupid as a pig, Mr. Guo is not easy to dislike."

After hearing these words, Emperor Xuankang laughed out loud, and the crown prince also smiled endlessly.

Emperor Xuankang said: "I heard that your words and deeds are extraordinary. I have seen your articles, and they are not a bit vulgar. If you are as stupid as a pig, there will be no smart people in the world. My eldest grandson is about the same age as you. It just so happens that one of the companions slipped and fell into the water, and there is a gap around me, how about you to make up for it?"

While speaking, Emperor Xuankang looked at Lin Rui calmly.

Lin Rui was slightly taken aback, and wanted to say something nice, but suddenly thought of his age, so he didn't have to be so cautious at all, so he bowed and said: "Grace of the saints, grassland should not leave, but Caomin cares about parents, siblings, and can't bear to say goodbye to the day." It's been a long time, and I don't want to be separated by thousands of miles, so I have already planned to return after sending my sister out of the cabinet next year."

The crown prince secretly sighed, Lin Ruhai really deserved his reputation, this son really got a bit of Lin Ruhai's authenticity.

Emperor Xuankang smiled and said: "This is a great honor, how many people can't ask for it, and you don't want to stay in the palace to accompany your eldest grandson?"

Lin Rui boldly said: "Caomin is reluctant to part with his parents and siblings. Caomin's sister and younger brother are still young, so they should stay in front of their parents to fulfill their filial piety. Therefore, Caomin is terrified of receiving the grace of the saint."

Emperor Xuankang thought for a while, and asked: "I remember you have a sister, and I have rewarded you with things. Why, you have another brother?" In fact, Emperor Xuankang knew that Lin Ruhai had another son, but he wanted to know more about Lin Rui's son. How to treat younger siblings.

Speaking of Daiyu and Lin Zhi, a smile appeared on Lin Rui's face, and suddenly he remembered that the princes would seize the throne, and Emperor Xuankang hoped that his sons would respect each other as brothers and sisters, so he said truthfully: "Returning to the Holy Lord, Cao Min finally got a brother. , he is already two years old this year, and now his younger sister takes him together, and they have mutual concessions, they are extremely close, and they really don't want to be separated thousands of miles away."

Emperor Xuankang asked with a smile: "So, you also have a brother to support you."

Lin Rui nodded and said: "Yes. Jiayan often said that the descendants of the ancestors were weak. In the Caomin generation, having two sons and a daughter, they are truly blessed by the heavens and blessed by the saints. Therefore, they always teach the Caomin to love their younger brothers and sisters, and teach them to respect their elder brothers."

What he said made Emperor Xuankang smile, and he couldn't help feeling ups and downs when he thought of the court affairs.

The crown prince took a look at Lin Rui, and he was really good at talking. It can be seen that Lin Ruhai will teach the children, and took the opportunity to show his affection to Emperor Xuankang, saying: "Father, don't worry, as the son of the father, Brother Rui can do it as a child. The son is only a few years younger than his father, so he can definitely do it, so that the emperor can manage the affairs of the country in peace and stability without any worries."

Emperor Xuankang said comfortingly: "For you, I am very relieved."

The meaning behind the words is very clear, but it is not the case for other people. The prince was secretly happy when he heard this.

Lin Rui heard their father and son's confession, and looked down at his toes.After a while, Fang heard Emperor Xuankang say: "Your father taught you well, and you are also a filial child. I only need you pure and filial ministers. You have done a good job in your essays. When are you going to take the imperial examination? Your father was the number one scholar in high school, and you Don't be too inferior to your father."

Lin Rui smiled and said, "Caomin plans to take the imperial examination in a few years."

Emperor Xuankang wondered: "Why is this? Gan Luo Twelve is the prime minister, I see that you are no worse than him."

The prince also looked over.

Lin Rui thought to himself that Gan Luo died early as an official, but he wanted to live a long time, so he said with a smile: "Jia Yan said, Cao Min is young, his temperament is uncertain, and he gets carried away for a while. It's better to wait a few In the past few years, I have become calmer and more knowledgeable, and I will go to the exam again, and I will not lose my sense of propriety in the future because of my young age."

Emperor Xuankang and the crown prince listened, and the father and son looked at each other with expressions of admiration.

When Lin Rui left the palace, in addition to the Four Treasures of the Study awarded by Emperor Xuankang, there was also a calligraphy and painting written by Emperor Xuankang. It can be seen that Emperor Xuankang valued him and said to the prince: "This son's future is limitless."

The prince said yes with a smile, and said: "You are very clever, but you also know the importance of propriety. You are worthy of being the son of the emperor's important minister."

Emperor Xuankang pondered for a moment, and said: "The princess is a virtuous concubine, and Heng Er is a poor child. They are classmates. When Er returns to the south of the Yangtze River to study in Gusu tomorrow, it will be in your interest to ask them to kiss each other better."

The crown prince had no desires or desires, and he acted according to his own wishes. Emperor Xuankang himself valued him and was happy to give him grace.The prince is his most valued son, and Lin Ruhai is his confidant and important minister. He very much hopes that when he is not around in the future, Lin Ruhai will continue to be loyal to the prince, and the prince will continue to use Lin Ruhai heavily. This is a wise and virtuous minister.

Hearing the words, the crown prince was both surprised and delighted, he never expected that Emperor Xuankang would no longer hold back his friendship with Lin Ruhai.After thinking about it for a while, he understood Emperor Xuankang's intentions, and secretly warned himself that even if he got Emperor Xuankang's intention to make friends with Lin Ruhai, he should not go too far, otherwise Emperor Xuankang would remember what he said today.

The prince was turbulent in his heart, and his face didn't show at all, he said with a smile: "Heng'er and Lin Rui are already on good terms, so there is no need for my son to tell me."

Emperor Xuankang thought for a long time, and asked, "How did Heng'er and Lin Rui go to school together? I heard in a daze that the two families got better because of some trouble."

The prince smiled and explained that Mrs. Yu took Yu Heng south to meet Jia Min and so on.

Emperor Xuankang asked: "Master Lingtai, is it really effective?"

The prince said: "I don't know about it, but since Panxiang Temple in Gusu is full of tourists, there must be some real skills."

Emperor Xuankang asked Master Lingtai's comments to Yu Heng again, thoughtfully.Lingtai said that Yu Heng must enter the Lingyan Pavilion. If Yu Heng wants to be reused, only the crown prince can inherit his throne. If it is someone else, he will only be suppressed.It seems that the crown prince's ascension to the throne is destined by heaven.

The prince didn't know what Emperor Xuankang was thinking, so he came out of Daming Palace, returned to the East Palace, and told the princess what Emperor Xuankang meant.

The princess was startled, and then said joyfully: "In this way, we don't have to shy away from it?" To be honest, in recent years, they have been very cautious in their actions, lest they get too close to the courtiers. Ever since they knew that Yu Heng and Lin Rui were studying together, She never let go of her heart.

The crown prince sat opposite her, leaned towards her, and said with a smile: "There is no need to shy away from making friends with the Lin family."

The concubine's face immediately beamed with joy, and she said: "I was always afraid that others would say that Heng'er and Lin Rui were good friends, and that they were trying to win over Mrs. Lin for us, and I was always worried about it. Now that the Holy Majesty has ordered us, we are still the same as before. If you get the words of the Holy Majesty, you will be too close, so don't deliberately alienate them, even if outsiders talk nonsense in the future, the Holy Majesty will not think too much in his heart."

They have been married for many years and have had a heart-to-heart relationship, and they understand each other very well.

The prince sat cross-legged on the kang, brushed his fingers across the embroidery on the kang screen, and said: "We have been cautious for so many years. I see, the father has already given me some power, otherwise he would not let me and Lin The adults are close."

The princess said: "This is a good thing, but Your Highness should not get too complacent."

The prince nodded and said: "Don't worry, after going through all this, what else can't I see through? It's also the fourth who can't see through, so he ran to see Lin Rui, and came back to tell Father the same, what is Father's heart?" Not annoyed? When I was talking, I could see the displeasure on the father's face, and only the fourth child couldn't see it, and he blindly planned for himself, and met the father's rebellion."

The princess smiled and said: "Let's be more careful, one will change, the Holy Majesty will only be more satisfied with His Highness."

After hearing this, the prince was full of complacency.

Seeing the high and protruding abdomen of the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince coughed, then restrained himself a bit, looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the Kang table, stretched out his hands to rummage, and said: "What are these? The things are rough, and the calligraphy and paintings are immature, not famous artists. "

The princess said angrily: "This is the scenery that Tete painted for me when my brother returned to Beijing, and the earthen ceremony gift he bought for me."

The prince picked up a clay figurine, held the unicorn in his arms, and said, "He is meticulous. If you think of it, you will love him a lot. This is a clay figurine from Jiangnan? It has fine eyebrows and eyes, which means a lot."

The princess smiled and said: "Heng'er has grown up, so he naturally knows how to be filial to me. Apart from these, there are many other things. Don't look at these rough things, they are quite cute. Heng'er gave me some. Coincidentally When tidying up, the little princes and little princesses from the palace all came, and they swarmed away a lot as if they were so in love with each other. Only this is left. Fortunately, that day I first took all the landscape calligraphy and paintings painted by Heng Er. Put it away, otherwise, there will not be any left now."

It was all complaints inside and out, but she was happy to do so. After all, it would be better to get close to the prince than to let the little princes and princesses alienate him, so as not to fight endlessly with the fourth and seventh princes in the future.

The crown prince obviously thought of this, with approving eyes, he said: "I made you worry, and I made Heng'er spend too much money."

The Crown Princess shook her head and smiled, and said: "Your Highness, please don't say that, this is what we should do. If Your Highness loves Heng Er, would you allow me to ask for grace?"

The prince smiled and said, "What? Just say it."

The princess smiled and said: "In the late autumn of this year, I have taken a fancy to the white fox fur His Highness made."

The prince is both civil and military. In late autumn, he followed Emperor Xuankang to Iron Net Mountain to hunt. He really caught a lot of prey and got a lot of good skins. In addition, he was rewarded by Emperor Xuankang, saying: "You like that piece of skin, just take it. Why are you telling me these things? We are husband and wife, not outsiders, so don’t I make clothes for you with the skins I beat?”

The crown princess said: "I didn't ask for it for myself, but for Heng'er. The former son Heng'er came to talk about the young lady of the Lin family, who was young and delicate. I thought that the white fox fur is the warmest, so it's better to have it from Heng'er." Send it over."

After hearing this, the prince naturally agreed.Anyway, Emperor Xuankang didn't care about his friendship with the Lin family, he was so happy, even though he was far away in the capital, he knew that Lin Ruhai loved his only daughter like a treasure.

Sure enough, the concubine took some white fox furs from the prince's treasury and sent them to Yu's house.

Mrs. Yu and Yu Heng were very surprised. Could it be that their association with the Lin family would not cause Emperor Xuankang's dissatisfaction?A few days later, Mrs. Yu went to the palace to congratulate them. After listening to the concubine's detailed account, she couldn't help but feel happy for them. When she came back, she sent someone to Jiangnan.

They delivered it late, hadn't arrived yet, and were still on the way, but Lin Rui's letter and the things they gave Daiyu before arrived.

Not long after receiving Lin Rui's letter, Lin Ruhai felt rather annoyed. Not long after, he received a funeral report from Shen's family, saying that Shen Yuan had gone, and at the same time, Lin Rui's letter was delivered to him together. Talk about what happened in the capital.Since Lin Ruhai was a nephew, he was supposed to do a small job. It was already February and it was Daiyu's birthday. Jia Min thought that Lin Ruhai would be very sad, so she didn't celebrate Daiyu's birthday, but only gave her two sets of new clothes.

Outsiders don't care about these things, each family has gifts, but they are all clothes, shoes, socks, silver thread, noodles, various kinds of ironware and so on.

After Jia Min finished packing, she saw Lin Ruhai teaching Daiyu to read under the window, and said, "Rui'er has been away for a few months, and I don't know how he is doing in the capital? According to me, he shouldn't have been allowed to go to the capital in the first place." , I don’t know what happened.”

Because Lin Ruhai was more attentive than in her previous life, Daiyu was enlightened earlier and could read thousands of characters. She started to read four books in the first month, a year earlier than her previous life. I understand what others say, and no one else understands his reasoning. Besides, even if he didn’t come to Beijing last year, I plan to let him visit Beijing in the next two years. This time is just a coincidence, so that my mother-in-law won’t blame you I just don’t want to go back to Beijing after receiving the letter.”

Jia Min wondered: "Why is this? For the master's official position, because he is in charge of a lot of money, I don't believe that the master has so many people to win him over. If he can't hold it for a while, isn't it causing trouble?"

The more Jia Min thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, and he couldn't help revealing a trace of worry.

Lin Ruhai said: "One emperor and one courtier, don't look at us with infinite glory, but it may not be the same in the future. Although I can't get involved, why should I refuse to let him be happy? Only after experiencing these, Rui'er can It’s hard to be easily drawn into schemes by others. Do you think it’s the only way to win Rui’er? I think His Royal Highness will meet Rui’er to satisfy His Highness, and then let the Holy One know that our father and son are of the same mind and not moved by others. There are only benefits and nothing. The disadvantage is also for the sake of the future."

Jia Min thought about it for a long time, and suddenly said: "So, according to what the master said, if Rui'er goes here and refuses others, the Holy One and His Royal Highness will definitely be very satisfied with Rui'er. I think our family will be safe even if the emperor changes in the future."

Lin Ruhai sighed: "Others only look at our scenery outside, how do they know when we are walking on thin ice in the court? Often, one careless move will result in a total loss. For the sake of future generations, we must have a perfect strategy. Rui'er is bound to be the new emperor after studying and becoming an official. After ascending the throne, I don't care if I can be reused in the future, but I can't ignore Gu Rui'er."

Only if the Lin family lasts for another hundred years, the children are safe, and the family is run in a proper way, he will not be burdened to live a lifetime.

It is determined that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is more likely to ascend the throne than the Ninth Prince, Lin Ruhai will not pretend to know this, and still refuse to make friends with His Highness the Crown Prince.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince praised himself in front of the Saint many times. One was to reciprocate, and the other was to show favor. The Saint was satisfied with the Prince, so naturally he would not be suspicious. Of course, Lin Ruhai had to show his loyalty again to satisfy both the Saint and the Prince.When Lin Rui came to Beijing, he didn't have to flatter His Highness the Crown Prince at all, as long as he was firm in his heart and would not be wooed by anyone, that would be it.

Furthermore, if the Ninth Prince finally ascends the throne, even if it is not visible in front of the eyes, no one can say what will happen in the future. Lin Rui, as Zhao An's brother, will marry him when he leaves the cabinet, and the Ninth Prince will also have to think of his benefits.

Therefore, this is a strategy that can be used to attack and retreat.

Of course, Lin Ruhai only explained to Lin Rui what he meant earlier, but he didn't mention the matter of the Ninth Prince, nor the intention of asking him to ask Guo Fuxian for homework. emperor.

Jia Min shook his head and said: "I don't know the truth about your thoughts, but the master knows it well, so I can rest assured."

Daiyu suddenly raised her head and asked, "When will brother come back?"

Jia Min saw that her face was stained with ink at some point, but she didn't know it, so she held back her smile and said, "Your brother will be back when winter comes. Why, do you miss your brother?"

Daiyu nodded and said, "I miss my brother, does my brother miss me?"

Jia Min smiled and said: "Why not? Not only your elder brother is thinking about you, but the Yu family brother is also thinking about you. There are many things from the letters and letters, some bought along the way, some bought in the capital, and your Yu family brother There are all kinds of scenes drawn and poems written along the way with your brother, just for you, it’s packed into a box.”

Daiyu was overjoyed and asked for it immediately.

Lin Rui ordered the boy who delivered the letter to bring a lot of things, all of which were filial to his parents and given to his younger brothers and sisters. Hearing this, Yu Heng didn't say anything, and gave him all the things he got along the way. Jia Min ordered someone to give Daiyu's box Bring it in.

When the box was opened, Daiyu leaned on tiptoes and looked in, but saw that everything was packed properly, and they were all packed in boxes to avoid being bumped.Jia Min got up, took out one by one with her own hands, and said: "This is a carved lacquer pen holder, this is a palace blanket, this is a palace flower, this is a palace embroidery, and they are all for you. There are fans, screen surfaces, and The little things I bought on the way, this biggest box contains the landscapes drawn by your brothers."

Daiyu didn't pick anything else, she just hugged the box containing the landscape paintings, and ran to Lin Ruhai to admire them together.

Lin Ruhai picked up a scroll, opened it, and pointed out to Daiyu where it was, when the scenery was painted, whether it was landscape or wind and snow, and what local customs and customs were there, etc. Daiyu listened with gusto. Looking yearning, he said: "There are so many interesting places, which are already very beautiful in the paintings. Wouldn't it be even more beautiful if you saw them with your own eyes?"

Lin Ruhai asked with a smile, "Yu'er wants to go out?"

Daiyu replied seriously: "It's not about being stubborn, it's about looking at the scenery. When I grow up, I will also draw them all."

Lin Ruhai wanted to take the wind and ride the moon and visit the world's famous sites, and he also yearned for it. If he became an official in the future, it would be a beautiful thing to go around, but it is a pity that he couldn't do it in front of him. He wiped Daiyu with a handkerchief With ink stains on his face, he said with a smile: "You don't have to wait until you grow up, I will take you out as a father today."

After hearing this, Daiyu happily went to change clothes.

But Jia Min said angrily: "The spring is cold and the wind is still a bit cool, where to go?"

Lin Ruhai handed a post to her, and said, "Go to Qiling Temple. I forgot to tell you yesterday that Master Chen, the abbot of Qiling Temple, invited me to tea and said that the plum blossoms planted in the temple were in full bloom. Coincidentally, there is another well-made vegetarian meal, so I will take Yu'er there and burn some incense for uncle."

Jia Min said: "Daming Temple is Daming Temple, why did you find out the old name again?"

Seeing that Daiyu was dressed neatly, Jia Min hurriedly ordered the girl to take a cloak and wrap it up with her, Fang Xin felt relieved that Lin Ruhai took Daiyu out, walked out of the main room without thinking, but saw Lin Zhi staggering to follow , when they were talking, Lin Zhi was sleeping, rubbing his eyes and shouting, "Where is sister going? I will go too."

Seeing Lin Zhi's eyes glistening with tears, Daiyu raised her face to look at Lin Ruhai.

I don't know if it's because the siblings had no relationship in the previous life, but in this life they are very close. Daiyu loves Lin Zhi very much, and Lin Zhi naturally loves to follow Daiyu. As the weather is getting warmer, she refuses to let Daiyu move out of the bedroom, and often eats together. Sleeping together, Lin Ruhai's heart softened, he bent down to hug Lin Zhi, and said, "If you go, don't be naughty."

Lin Zhi nodded quickly, his eyes opened wide, like two stars at night.

Jia Min sent their father and daughter out, stood under the steps of the door, and said, "Zhi'er is still young."

As soon as Lin Zhi heard that Jia Min seemed to disapprove, he quickly put his arms around Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Yu'er went out with me when she was younger than him, and their siblings are very well-behaved, so it's okay. Don't worry."

Jia Min said: "That's the case, Lin Zhi has to change his clothes before going out."

Lin Ruhai looked at it, and saw that the nanny had tidied up everything neatly, and said: "He just woke up, he was dressed well, it doesn't matter, could it be that the Bodhisattva thinks his child's clothes are disheveled when he burns incense and worships Buddha?"

Jia Min had no choice but to give up.

The father and son took the young servants and accompanied them, and drove to Qiling Temple by car.

Although Lin Ruhai used to disrespect gods and Buddhas, he was open-minded in nature, and he did not allow others to worship because of himself, but he didn't take the words of gods and Buddhas seriously, but Master Chen felt that his views were different, so he met once in a while After talking about it, he became a confidant, Lin Ruhai took a bath every month, and he always posted several posts to Lin Ruhai.

He heard that Lin Ruhai had arrived, but Liaochen didn't come out to greet him, so he just asked the little novice to lead the father and son into his monastery.

But when he saw the ancient cypresses, cigarettes lingering around, dusty old clothes and bare feet, he was cooking tea under the tree, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the nobles have come, no, just after you came in, the water boiled. This is my early morning." I went to get the spring water myself, and I was the first to go there, so how is it better than the tea in your house?"

Lin Ruhai came here often, and so did Daiyu. He dragged his younger brother to meet Chen, and said with a smile, "Great Monk, do you have us?"

Liao Chen smiled and said, "The one who comes is the guest. My Buddha said that all living beings are equal, how can it be divided into big and small?"

Sitting opposite Lin Ruhai, she saw Daiyu thanking Lin Zhi with a smile, and then felt that the stone bench was cold, so she spread her cloak on it for Lin Zhi, and said, "Sit down obediently, don't be naughty, otherwise you will get off the bed." I won’t bring you out this time.” Lin Ruhai and Jia Min are always considerate of each other by precept and deed, and Daiyu, although young, has learned a little and takes it as commonplace.

Lin Zhizhi said softly, "Sister, sit down."

Daiyu didn't sit down, and he didn't want to sit down. When Liaochen saw him, he sighed, "Siblings and brothers love each other so much. If everyone in the world is like this, how can there be many disputes?" Then he ordered the little novice to fetch two old futons and put them on the bed. On the two stone benches, Daiyu's cloak was taken off.

Daiyu and Lin Zhi hurriedly bowed to thank Chen, and sat upright.

Lin Ruhai didn't intervene until now when he heard Chen's words, he opened his mouth and said, "I don't know about others, but in my whole life, I don't ask for anything other than their brothers and sisters being like brothers and sisters. They are all my own. Well-educated, if you have learned other people's habits, wouldn't it be mine?"

Liao Chen brought up the tea bowl and sighed, "It's the fault of the son not teaching his father, that's true."

In addition to the good water, the tea is not good tea, and the utensils are not good utensils, but it has a special taste. Lin Ruhai sniffed the tea, and said in amazement: "You, a person from outside the country, don't touch any fireworks, how can you sigh about the worldly things?" ?”

Liao Chen handed the tea bowl to Daiyu's sister and brother again, told them to burn their hands carefully, and said to Lin Ruhai with a smile: "I also eat, drink and dress, I don't eat and sleep in dew, so how can I avoid fireworks? Could it be born? It was because something bad happened to me a while ago, so I just sighed in front of you."

Lin Ruhai asked what was the matter, and said, "That's why you invited me here?"
