Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

When Lin Ruhai was talking to Liaochen, Daiyu finished her tea and saw her younger brother looking around with curiosity in her eyes. Thinking that her younger brother had never been there, she wanted to take him to visit various places. familiar.

Lin Ruhai thought for a while, then ordered his confidants to follow, and said, "Don't go far."

Lin Zhi heard this, and happily followed Daiyu out of the monastery.

Seeing this and hearing the sound, Liaochen ordered two young novice monks to accompany him. After exhorting him carefully, he said to Lin Ruhai, "This family has something to do with you. If they don't look for you, who will they look for?"

Lin Ruhai heard the words and said, "What do you mean? I'm at a loss."

Liaochen said: "It's a long story. A while ago there was a young man who was extremely poor and stayed in the temple. I saw him as an ambitious man. Although he lived here, he often helped the monks with chores and copied scriptures for me. He rented a house, and set up a stall outside, or copied scriptures for others, or painted some Bodhisattva statues, and sold some of the money to buy pens, inks and books. He studied very hard. His ancestors were also a family of officials, and in his generation, he was a concubine, but his elder brother became a seventh-rank official, and he didn't want his father to die, so he decided to divide the family and drove him and his mother out."

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai sighed: "Since ancient times, the distinction between concubine and concubine has been like cloud and mud, and he is not alone in his fate." Although Lin Ruhai doesn't like concubine sons, he also knows that concubine sons are innocent, but his wife, Qi Ye , Bringing a large dowry and family connections into the door, it is the best of the two surnames, how can they be comparable to maidservants and concubines, and concubines cannot be compared with legitimate sons.But Lin Ruhai also knew that his wives, concubines, and concubines were all innocent, and it was all up to the man, so he kept himself clean and could not control others, but he could control himself.

Liaochen nodded and said: "Although they are divided into brothers and sisters, they are also brothers of the same blood. They are born of the same root, so why rush each other! If the first brother loves the younger brother and works together, isn't it a sign of prosperity? Just for a little bit The property and property of the family were divided into brothers and turned against each other, and they became enemies. Therefore, I sigh that if people in the world are like your family, how many injustices will be missing. The child thinks he knows this truth, but he has never complained. I heard him say , he didn't share the family property, but he got several hundred taels of silver. He wanted to buy a house and land, and studied hard, but he didn't want his elder brother to let him stay there, so he had to return home with his mother. Unexpectedly, after his mother arrived in Yangzhou, she was in trouble for a long time. He couldn't afford to be ill, spent a lot of money in vain, and still lost it, leaving him impoverished. Before his mother died, he heard from his father that there was a very prominent relative in their family. An aunt from one of his ancestors married to Jinling and told him to go and join him. , He didn't want to live with others, didn't want to go, after placing his mother's coffin, he came to my place to spend the night."

Lin Ruhai heard this, and said: "From what you said, you are a good boy. You said you have something to do with me? Could it be that their relatives are ours?"

Liaochen clapped his hands and smiled, and said: "You really hit the spot, it's really your family!"

Lin Ruhai was stunned, thinking about the old ladies of his ancestors, but for a moment he couldn't remember that it was the old lady's natal family.It has been passed down to him, it is already the fifth generation, there are still contacts in the first three generations, and there is no contact in the past.

Lin Ruhai said: "I can't remember, since you are a relative of my family and you are in Yangzhou, why don't you come to see me?"

Liao Chen smiled and said, "He didn't know it was you."

After Lin Ruhai heard this, a trace of doubt flashed across his face, since he is a relative of his own, if he didn't know it was him?

Liao Ran seemed to have noticed it, and explained: "The child's mother only heard a few words and didn't know much about it. She said that she was married in Jinling and married Lord Ning'an. Now the children and grandchildren are still rich and honored. The senior officials ordered this child to go to Jinling to investigate, they are poor and remote, they have never been to the capital, they are maids and concubines, and they are concubines, how can they know clearly."

Lin Ruhai was surprised and said: "Marrying Lord Ning'an, isn't it our old lady?"

Among the ancestors of the Lin family, only Lin Ruhai's great-grandfather was granted the title of Marquis of Ning'an. In this way, he is the descendant of the great-grandmother's natal family?After a hundred years, after several twists and turns, the world is far apart, and there was no contact as early as decades ago.

Liao Chen said with a smile: "It was only when I heard Ning Anhou that I remembered that it was your ancestor. I asked carefully, and the old aunt and wife of their family was Ling Gao's grandmother. But they didn't know which family Ning Anhou belonged to, and their surname What."

Lin Ruhai heard this, and said: "I remember that my great-grandmother's maiden name is Qiao, which is from Shandong, which is the hometown of Confucius. What's the name of this child? How old is it? Which generation has it been passed down to? Where did the family live?"

Liao Chen said: "My name is Qiao Xiu. I am 14 years old. According to my seniority, I should call you Grandpa Cousin. His father died in office in southern Fujian, and his eldest brother is now an official in southern Fujian. It's difficult for him. At such a young age, he went to Yangzhou with his mother, if his mother hadn't been seriously ill, he would have rushed back to Shandong long ago."

Lin Ruhai thought for a moment, then got up and said, "In that case, take me to see him." His family's heirs are weak, if someone knows how to make progress and is honest, he can help others, let alone him.

After hearing this, Liao Chen led him to the main hall.

Just after leaving the monastery, Lin Ruhai was shocked when he heard Lin Zhi's weeping voice, and hurried over following the sound.But Daiyu was holding Lin Zhi in his arms, rubbing his forehead with a handkerchief, and hurriedly asked, "Why is Zhi'er crying?"

Lin Zhi clutched the corner of Daiyu's clothes with tears in his eyes, crying but not answering.

Daiyu's eye circles were also red. She thought she had cried, sobbing, "Daddy, I didn't take good care of my younger brother."

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai was very distressed, and hurriedly took Lin Zhi into his arms. His forehead was red and covered with oily skin, but the servant next to him kowtowed, his face was full of shame, and he said, "Go back to the master, brother." Running around and drilling around, we didn't keep up for a while, which caused my brother to fall and knock his forehead, and ask the master to apologise."

Lin Ruhai hugged his son in one hand, waved the other, and said, "Children are naughty, who doesn't stumble? I can blame you everywhere? But you don't take good care of it, and there are mistakes. Each of you will be fined for one month. .”

After hearing this, everyone was immediately grateful to Dade.

Lin Ruhai comforted Daiyu again, and said, "It's not your fault, it's all your brother's fault for being naughty, so don't blame yourself."

Daiyu looked at Lin Zhi, with a trace of guilt still in her eyes.

Lin Zhi struggled to get down from Lin Ruhai's arms, walked up to Daiyu, held her with open arms, and said, "Sister, don't cry." Seeing Daiyu's tears falling again, he rolled his eyeballs and shouted He had a headache on his forehead and asked her to rub it, Daiyu hurriedly rubbed it for him again, she couldn't care less about crying for a while, and after a while, the two siblings smiled happily again.

Lin Ruhai said: "Come on, Yu'er, I will take you to see paintings for my father."

Daiyu pulls Lin Zhi to follow.

Following Liaochen to the side of the main hall, he saw a stall. The so-called stall was only a small table, and some rough brushes and papers were neatly arranged on the table. There were a few calligraphy and paintings spread out, hanging on the table. Before, there are couplets, scriptures, and a few portraits of Guanyin, which have a certain foundation.

Lin Ruhai saw again the young man who was a few years later, dressed in filial piety, with delicate features and handsome features.

Lin Ruhai walked over and saw that the young man was copying the scriptures. The paper was rough and the brush and ink were poor, but the handwriting was very beautiful and there was no perfunctory. good?"

The young man put down his pen, stood up, and saw Lin Ruhai's face was like a crown of jade, elegant and refined, and saw a pair of sons and daughters who were like golden boys and jade girls. He knew their backgrounds were extraordinary, and said: "Wansheng is here to paint, and fifty coins are enough. Why do you need ten taels? Late-born pens and inks are not worth the price." Speaking of this, I felt very bitter, because even fifty Wen coins might not be able to be sold in three to five days.

Lin Ruhai couldn't help but think highly of him again, and said, "I heard that you came to look for relatives?"

Qiao Xiu was surprised and said: "Where did you come from, sir? I lost my mother at the beginning of my late life, and stayed in the temple. I have no relatives to find."

Liao Chen smiled and said, "Silly boy, he is a relative of your family. I heard that you are here, so I came to have a look."

Qiao Xiu heard this, and quickly waved her hands and said, "Abbot, don't coax me, where do I have relatives like Mr? You have enough food and clothing, and you still have time to practice handwriting, so why do you need to rely on relatives and friends, but lose your spine and make people laugh?"

Abbot Liaochen explained to him that he was related to the Lin family, but Qiao Xiu still didn't believe it.

Lin Ruhai told about his ancestors' names and official positions, and Lin Ruhai only knew about those two generations, and the rest were not clear. Qiao Xiufang believed it, but he didn't want to send him under the fence. As for Lin Ruhai's proposal, he wanted to send him to study, so he politely declined. He only said that he had lost his father and mother, and it was just right to stay in the monastery and study, and there was no need to go elsewhere.

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai was not embarrassed, and told him that if he encountered any embarrassment, he could just go to himself,

Qiao Xiu pondered for a moment, and Fang thanked her.

After returning from Qiling Temple, Lin Ruhai shook his head and sighed. He was so resolute in his heart that he thought he would do something in the future. At night, he read the letters of Lin Rui and others under the lamp, and took a pen to reply. In a few months, Zhang Dahu also It's time to return to Beijing triumphantly.

He always remembered that Zhang Dahu's mother is now serving Zhao An, but when he left Beijing that year, he had never heard of Zhao An's mother Zhang. He guessed that Zhang's mother hadn't been favored by Zhao An, and it hadn't stopped in the past few years. In correspondence with presents and letters from the capital, he also heard Jia Min say that Zhao An has a confidant by his side, who is extremely smart, and her husband's family name is Zhang, known as Nanny Zhang.

Lin Ruhai paid attention to it a few times, and it turned out that Nanny Zhang was from Shandong. Her family was ruined and her family was destroyed in her early years, she was exiled in the capital, and sold herself as a slave. Lin Rui, let him start cooking.

But it was said that day that Lin Rui got something rewarded by Emperor Xuankang, and before he returned home, the news came first, Jia Mu and the others immediately filled their cheeks with joy, relieved their hearts, and changed their previous panic and uneasiness. Serving Lin Rui carefully, the servants were quite scheming, not to mention that Lin Rui already wanted Jia's mother's favor, even if he couldn't, they didn't dare to neglect.

Mrs. Wang was even more delighted. Lin Rui received this honor. The two families are in-laws and are very close. Will there be any benefits in Yuanchun in the future?It's just that Lin Rui is young, and it's hard for them to speak even if they have countless words.

Thinking of her daughter who wasted her years in the palace, Mrs. Wang couldn't help feeling sad. If she hadn't been in the capital, she would have left the cabinet by now.

Different from their family, King Ming's face was as gloomy as water, and the disciples sitting under him dared not speak.I never thought that they could steal chickens and lose money. Lin Rui was so young, but he had a deep scheming, and he took advantage of the crown prince.

Soon, King Mingjun was called to the palace by Emperor Xuankang for a talk, only saying that Lin Rui already had a teacher who taught him homework, so he didn't need to bother.King Mingjun hated and was angry, but there was nothing he could do. Lin Rui won the favor of Emperor Xuankang, and Emperor Xuankang would not reprimand Lin Rui because of himself. After all, Lin Ruhai was in charge of half of the tax money in his hand, and he had to worry about the military pay everywhere. , they are nobles in the sky, they look dignified and extraordinary, but in the eyes of today's kings and people, they are not as good as a powerful minister who loves the people like his own son.

After this incident, the major families in the capital secretly remembered Lin Rui like a mirror in their hearts, and when they wanted to make friends with him, they all refused when they learned that he was busy with homework.

When Lin Rui occasionally showed up in the capital, he showed his sharpness, and then he returned to normal, and he went to class with peace of mind.

Guo Fuxian was entrusted by Lin Ruhai early on, he was idle at home and had nothing to do, so he was very dedicated.He is a smart man, since he offended Niu Jizong, most of the people he frequented stopped moving around, and his father was also struggling in his tenure, so he was persuaded by Lin Ruhai to ask his father to retire from office and rest at home, ignoring those trivial matters outside.Since Lin Rui came to ask for homework advice, within a few days, Guo Fuxian noticed that his family's situation in the capital was much better, and those who had not been in contact with each other also came to visit. How could he suppress the Guo family because of Niu Jizong?

This was also Lin Ruhai's intention for letting Lin Rui go to Beijing to ask Guo Fuxian for his homework. The Shen family helped the spirit return to his hometown. Before Lin Rui went to Beijing, he knew that Shen Yuan's end was approaching.As soon as the Shen family left, Guo Fuxian had no one to take care of him in the capital. It was inevitable that some people wanted to please the Duke of Zhenguo and deliberately bullied the Guo family. With Lin Rui, they knew how powerful they were and did not dare to act rashly.

Guo Fuxian was a great talent, Lin Ruhai didn't want him to be buried, but wanted him to recover sooner. He expected that he would not offend the powerful and powerful like in his previous life.

Lin Rui didn't know that when he went to Beijing, Lin Ruhai had already thought of countless benefits.

Coming out of Guo's house this day, Lin Rui went back to his ancestral house. The ancestral house of the Lin family is being repaired every year. Lin Rui has been in the capital for a few months, and the servants are very clever. Although Lin Rui lives in Rongguo Mansion, they still tidied up Lin Rui's residence .Lin Rui was very satisfied. He had been uninhabited for a long time, so it was a bit sparse. He walked around the garden for a while, and when he passed a courtyard, it was more lively than other places. There were all maids, servants and women, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Ask who lives there.

Gu Se laughed and said, "This is where Uncle Zhang lives."

Lin Rui suddenly realized, and said: "Understood, it's the Zhang family brother. The master who taught me boxing kung fu also said that the most talented person I have met in my life is the Zhang family brother. I remember Zhang family brother before serving in the army. After all, it's been three years?"

Gu Se nodded and said, "Master, I remember clearly, it's been three years."

Lin Rui valued Zhang Dahu because of Lin Ruhai, and never underestimated Zhang Dahu because of his humble background. In his heart, he admired him very much for being a high school martial arts champion at a young age. It is said that Beijiang has won another battle, and I heard that it intends to seek peace, and I want to triumph in the near future, and then our family will have a happy event."

Ms. Gu's family and Zhang Dahu were only 14 years old when they got engaged. Three years later, she was 17 years old.

This spring, Gu Yue has been promoted to Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, who is in charge of the affairs of the East Palace. The king of Ming County has been reprimanded, and the crown prince has become more powerful. For the sake of the prince, I can't wait to give all the benefits to the prince according to my own wishes.

Gu Se also thought of it, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang is brave, this time he will be triumphant, and he must be promoted again. It will be a double happiness."

Lin Rui said, "I'm afraid it's going to be a three-time blessing."

Guse heard the words, and said in a puzzled way: "Where did the uncle come from? Uncle Zhang's promotion is a one-time happiness, and getting married is a double happiness. What is the third happiness? You are so stupid, please tell me clearly, good food." comprehensive."

Lin Rui turned around and left Zhang Dahu's residence. He pointed to a few flowers in the garden and ordered someone to pack them up so that they could be sent to Zhao An. The whereabouts of my brother and mother are here, and I was asked to watch the cooking, so I took Mrs. Zhang home, isn't this the third joy?"

Gu Se was taken aback, and said, "Uncle Zhang's lost mother has been found?"

Lin Rui nodded and said: "Father said in the letter that after several inquiries, he learned that Brother Zhang's mother was not kidnapped by bandits, but was rescued by soldiers and civilians. Later, she lived in the capital and sold herself as a slave. I only got the news at the beginning of the year."

Lin Ruhai was very thoughtful and said in the letter how to find out the news, how to get the news, etc. Of course, these are all fake, Lin Ruiyuan is in the capital, how can he know the ins and outs of it.However, Lin Ruhai did not blindly rely on the memories of his previous life, but after asking several times from Jia Min, he ordered his confidantes to ask people from the Zhao family about Zhang Nanny's ancestral origin. Who knows that the Lin family is Zhao An's reliance, so Zhao An's capable servants have been sent to give gifts recently.

Lin Ruhai didn't come forward on his own because Lin Rui trusted him. When others asked, he just said that he knew it from his father, but if it was him, his explanation would inevitably be incomplete and arouse suspicion.

Gu Se thought for a while, and said: "The hero doesn't ask where he came from. Now that Uncle Zhang is here, who dares to underestimate him? It's just that Mrs. Zhang is working in which company now? It's not too late for this matter. We actually redeemed Zhang first." The wife comes out." The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, he is the son of the Lin family, although he is a slave, he is very blessed, he is neither bullied by high-ranking officials, nor has the helplessness of ordinary people, and he will not do anything because of Mrs. Zhang. He is underestimated by servants and maids. They are decent merchants like Jinfeng Jinhuang and others. Like Jinfeng Jinhuang, they want to be entrusted to the Lin family as slaves. There are many behind Jinfeng Jinhuang, and the Lin family is not willing to accept him. next.

Lin Rui smiled and said, "Coincidentally, it's at Zhao's house."

Gu Se was taken aback, looking at the flowers packed by the servants, his heart moved, and he said, "At Miss Zhao's house?"

Lin Rui nodded. He knew that his father had said that he would find Zhang Dahu's mother and reunite him, but he never expected that it would be such a coincidence that Zhang Dahu's mother sold herself to the Zhao family.

Gu Seqi said: "It's a coincidence, it's easy to redeem yourself, I'm afraid that if the eldest girl finds out, she won't even want the money."

Lin Rui said: "Naturally, if I don't go, sister Zhao will send Mrs. Zhang here." After leaving Lin's house, she sent a post to Zhao An, and ordered someone to send it along with flowers.

Ever since Zhao An got married suddenly and became a prince and concubine, the Zhao family was overjoyed like they got a phoenix, but Mrs. Zhao was uneasy in her heart, fearing that Zhao An would have revenge once she gained power, so she did all kinds of things recently. To please Zhao An, she also ordered a pair of children to go often to say hello to Zhao An. Seeing that Zhao An was as usual, calm as water, without any resentment, she felt relieved.I heard that the Lin family sent people to send flowers and posts to Zhao An, and they hurriedly ordered people to come in and send them to Zhao An's courtyard.

Zhao An received Lin Rui's post, which also included Lin Rui's letter. They are sisters and brothers, and there is no problem in communicating. She opened it and looked at it, and was stunned. The mother-in-law was actually Zhang Dahu's own mother.

Who is Zhang Dahu?She lives in the boudoir, often goes out to socialize, and has a lot of contacts with Miss Gu's family, how can she not know that she is Miss Gu's son-in-law?Everyone said that Zhang Dahu was capable. Such a poor boy became an official and was promoted step by step. He also married the granddaughter of Gu Xiangguo's direct relative, and was brought up by Lin Ruhai. I don't know how many people envy him.

Zhao An recalled the scene when he saw Madam Zhang that day. She was a foreigner, and she was born in a farmer. In order to flatter her stepmother, the daughter-in-law tidied up the poor women and let her choose, instead of those decent women who have roots in the family, she didn't care, but she liked Zhang Nanny who was clean and tidy, heard and literate , then chose to the side.

Every time Zhao An thinks about it, he is always secretly glad that Nanny Zhang has experienced things in the world and has a lot of insights. Since she came to her side, she has really helped her a lot. She originally wanted to take her with her when she left the cabinet, but she never thought that she and herself It is said that the lost son Zhang Dahu is actually Zhang Dahu who came out of the Lin family.

Since Lin Rui's letter said that it was Lin Ruhai who said it, it must be eight or nine points sure. Zhao An loves Lin Ruhai and his wife very much. Because of them and Princess Beijing, she has peace. She has no doubts about this, thinks for a moment, and is busy Someone invited Madam Zhang.

Nanny Zhang is sorting out the dowry left by Zhao An's mother, sorting it into different categories. Zhao An is about to get married, so it is good to have a few things. With the dowry left by Mrs. What Zhao An prepared was bound to come out of the cabinet in a glorious manner, and finally a prince and concubine came out. How could the Zhao family not be dedicated, even Mrs. Zhao would not dare to be harsh.Hearing that Zhao An was calling, he didn't know what was going on, so he hurried over, and when he wanted to say hello, he was supported by Zhao An, and said: "I called Mama, I have something to ask Mama."

Nanny Zhang smiled and said: "You can just ask if you have anything, but you have to wait until I salute the girl. It's my blessing that the girl values ​​me, but I can't mess with the rules of master and servant."

Zhao An pushed away the maid in the room, and said, "Don't say that, Mama, it will be much better tomorrow when Mama is in charge of the house."

After hearing this, Nanny Zhang felt surprised and said, "I don't understand this."

Zhao Andao: "I have heard from Mammy that there is a lost son named Zhang Dahu, but?"

When mentioning her son whom she had not seen for more than ten years, Mammy Zhang's eyes immediately turned red. She had suffered all these years, and thought that her son might be in danger, but she felt comforted in her heart when she didn't hear from her son for a day, thinking that his son must be there. I live well in places I don't know, so I never said anything except Zhao An once asked about it. Hearing this now, I was afraid that it would be bad news, but also hoped that it would be a happy event. After repeated silence, Fang asked: " The girl has the whereabouts of my son?"

Zhao An sighed slightly, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, mammy, I'm afraid that mother and child are really going to be reunited."

After hearing this, Zhang Momo felt that the words sounded like the sounds of nature, and she was stunned for a moment. After a long time, she came back to her senses and said hurriedly: "My good girl, tell me quickly, where is my son? It's been so many years , I have only one wish."

Zhao An comforted him, "Don't worry, Mammy, just listen to me. Let me ask Mammy, what is your son's year? When was he born?"

Zhang Momo was anxious about her son's news, but she also knew that she should ask carefully, so as not to identify the wrong person. After all, there are too many people with the same name and surname in the world. My son is twenty-four this year and was born on the first day of the first lunar month. At the beginning, a fortune teller said that my son will be a marshal in the future, and I have the life of a first-class lady! But now, far away from home and homeless, it is just a joke .”

Zhao An had a heart-to-heart match, and it was exactly what Lin Ruixin said, so he smiled and said: "Then fortune-telling is a bit of a skill, maybe Nanny can really be a first-class wife in the future."

Grandma Zhang was stunned when she heard the words, and said, "What do you mean, Miss?"

Zhao An helped her to sit on the chair, pressed her shoulders, and said with a smile: "Master Zhang has reached the fourth rank now. When he returns to Beijing in triumph, he may be promoted again. Master Zhang is only in his 20s this year. Aged, are you afraid that you won’t be able to be a generalissimo?”

Nanny Zhang said: "Miss Zhang is talking about Mr. Zhang, but Mr. Zhang who has the same name and surname as my son? Is it Miss Gu's son-in-law? Girl, stop joking. Although I have doubted Mr. Zhang's origin, my son is separated from me." He is a farm boy of seven or eight years old, without father or mother, it is a great fortune to survive, how can he have the money to study and practice martial arts, and become an official with the number one examination?"

When Zhang Dahu and Miss Gu's family Gu Yi were engaged, Madam Zhang also heard about it, and she didn't think about it, but she knew that she was an adult and sold herself as a slave in a foreign country, let alone he was only eight years old at the time. encounter.

Seeing that she didn't believe her, Zhao An smiled and said, "It's hard to say what fate is. Mammy knows that Mr. Zhang was raised by my adoptive father and taught him to be an official. He has been looking for Mr. Zhang's lost mother all these years. I only got the news at the beginning of the year, and I found out about Mammy, and everything matched. It turns out that Master Zhang is indeed Mammy's son."

Zhao An was full of emotions, Zhang Nanny is a slave today, but tomorrow she is the imperial wife, and talking about it to others is just a drama.

Nanny Zhang couldn't believe it: "He is really my son? How did you find me?"

Zhao Andao: "What is my adoptive father's ability? Since the adoptive father said to find out, I just asked my mother. The age and birthday are correct. The ancestral home is also the same as my mother's. It is from Shandong. The mother once said her husband's name. Call Zhang Duner, coincidentally, the father of Zhang Dahu and Mrs. Zhang is Zhang Duner, his mother's maiden name is Liu, and the maiden's maiden name is also Liu? This is just right."

Nanny Zhang said: "So, that Mr. Zhang who is engaged to Miss Gu's family is really my own son?"

Zhao An nodded, smiling all over his face, thinking that Nanny Zhang must be ecstatic?Unexpectedly, Nanny Zhang suddenly stood up, took her hand, and begged: "Good girl, if it's really my son, don't recognize her, the girl will say that I am not his mother."

Zhao Anqi said: "How do you say that? Don't you want to reunite with Master Zhang's mother and child?"

Nanny Zhang smiled wryly, and said with tears in her eyes, "Why don't I want to? I don't know how many times I dreamed of it in my dream. It's just that he has become an official and has already appointed Miss Gu's family as his wife. How noble is Miss Gu's background? Even if he becomes an official I am born as a slave. If I met him, outsiders would know and laugh at him. I am afraid that in the future, after Miss Gu's family enters the house, she will be ridiculed when she goes out to socialize. There is a slave Mother-in-law. He is now 24 years old. As a mother, I have not raised him or taught him, so I have long been sorry for him. How can I cause him so much trouble because of me?"

Having said that, Zhang Nanny couldn't help but burst into tears. Even if she couldn't see each other or reunite, as long as she knew that her son was doing well, got promoted, married a wife, and gave birth to a son, she could rest assured that she was still a slave. .

Zhao An was shocked and thought of his mother. Could it be that all mothers in the world are like this?

Nanny Zhang said again: "Good girl, let me do it."

Zhao An persuaded: "Mammy, don't belittle yourself. My son doesn't think his mother is ugly or his family is poor. How does Mammy know that she will be able to trouble Mr. Zhang, and how does she know that Mr. Zhang doesn't want to find his mother? All these years, the foster father has taken care of him. Looking for it, it can be seen that he wants to reunite with Nanny. Besides, Nanny often socializes with me, and it's not like I haven't met the Gu family's sister, such a gentle and honest person, well-educated and reasonable. Surely you won't think Mammy has lost face."

Zhang Momo shook her head, insisting on refusing. When her son was about to be promoted, she absolutely didn't want to make him a joke in the eyes of the world because of her own reasons. Originally, he came from a poor family and was slightly lower than others, so another one would do it. The servant's mother is even worse.

Zhao An couldn't persuade him repeatedly, so he had no choice but to write back to Lin Rui the next day when he borrowed the fan bag to give Lin Rui.

Zhang Momo returned to her room, thinking of hearing about Zhang Dahu's deeds many times, how could she have thought that it was her own son at the time, but now that she thinks about it, it is fortunate that she met Master Lin, otherwise, how could he be able to study and practice martial arts, and do it again? official.Nanny Zhang immediately kowtowed to the south, thinking that she would set up a longevity tablet for the couple and pray for them every day.

Mammy Zhang covered her face with a handkerchief, mixed with grief and joy. She thought that news of her son was already a happy event, but she never thought that her son would have such a good fortune. She has seen Miss Gu's behavior before. She is better than Zhao An, and she will definitely be able to raise him in the future. good offspring.

Lin Rui was about to go to greet Mother Jia, and when he received Zhao An's letter, he couldn't help feeling very emotional, and told him: "Tell my sister, we will talk about it when Master Zhang comes back, and I will persuade you first." Zhao An said that the person who came was Her confidant, if you have something to say to her, you don't need to write a letter, but it will easily make people suspicious.

When the visitors heard about it, they didn't understand what it meant, so they returned to Zhao An, but Zhao An understood that Zhang Dahu hadn't entered Beijing yet, so there was no rush.

It was near the end of spring at that time, Lin Rui replaced the original fan bag and used it from Zhao Ancai. He went to Jiamu's Courtyard, and when he went outside, he heard a burst of laughter inside. When he listened carefully, it was not Ying Tanxi cloud etc.

My relatives and men and women can meet each other, so there is no need to be very taboo. If outsiders come, and I am already in my teens, it would not be good to meet them. Lin Rui hesitated for a moment, and said to the maid, intending to turn around and leave, suddenly Seeing Yuanyang lift the curtain and come out, wearing a red satin jacket, a flowered skirt, a blue satin vest with pinched teeth, combed her black hair, and inserted two beaded hairpins, she said with a smile: "Lin The uncle is here, and the old lady invites the uncle to come in."

Lin Rui said: "There are people in my grandmother's room, how can I go and disturb them, if I bump into a female guest, it will be abrupt."

When Yuanyang heard this, he knew why he didn't come in, and said with a smile: "The old lady said that they are all relatives of her own family, so there is no need for uncle. When uncle Zhu and Lian were so old, they hosted a banquet at home. All the female family members have met. Besides, the one who came here today is a rogue who has settled down, so he doesn't care about these complicated rules."

Before saying a word, Baoyu came out behind, pulled Lin Rui inside, and said, "My good brother, come in quickly, Sister Feng is not someone else, she grew up in our family, just like our girls."

Lin Rui knew that she was the daughter of Wang Ziteng, who was married to Wang Xifeng, the son of Niu Jizong of the Duke of Zhenguo.

Thinking of the festival with the Wang family, Lin Rui was even more reluctant to go in, and Jia Mu sent someone to urge him, so he had to go in, not daring to look around, and asked Jia Mu to go to school.I don't want to get up, but I heard the person who just laughed and praised: "It's strange that the old lady is in pain. Look at this handsome appearance, she is the grandson of the old lady."

Mother Jia said with a beaming smile, "You're the only one with a good mouth! Rui'er, come here, I've met your aunt's natal sister Feng."

According to Baoyu, there was indeed such a little connection, Lin Rui kept his face and gave a salute.

Sister Feng was in high spirits. Although she was pregnant, she couldn't hide her grandeur. She praised Lin Rui again and again. The maid Ping'er beside her had already brought a gift, which was four rulers, a pair of golden scorpions, and a gold collar. A pair, the end is very rich.

Lin Rui thanked him and told Mother Jia that he was going to school, and Mother Jia hurriedly ordered someone to take him out.

Sister Feng said with a smile to Jia Mu: "Brother Lin has such a character. I heard that he often sees His Highness the Crown Prince. It shows that he has the ability. Our uncle is often full of praise. He also said that he will invite Brother Lin to have a drink."

Sister Feng has a strong temper. She was originally a man who refused to give in to her husband and was lawless, but Niu Yaozu was also shrewd and capable, so she couldn't handle it.On the contrary, the marriage between the two families has its own advantages. Niu Yaozu is different from Niu Jizong. After accepting their usual temperament and flattering, the couple lived happily ever after.

Now that Lin Rui is valued by Emperor Xuankang and the crown prince, and he lives in Rongguo Mansion, Niu Yaozu told her that when she is cheap, she should go to Jia's house more often to win Lin Rui over so that she can talk to the crown prince in the future.

Jia's mother is also an old man. Now when she goes to her house, she mostly wants to see Lin Rui. After hearing this, she said with a smile: "Go back and tell your son-in-law, just post the post. Our family's friendship, what should we share with each other?" ? But my grandson is very eager to learn, he goes to Guo’s house every day to ask for homework, and he only takes a day off every five or six days, so he may not be free to reply to the post.”

Sister Feng laughed and said: "If we have time, it is our blessing. If we don't have time, we have to post another post."

Since marrying Niu Yaozu, Sister Feng has learned a lot. When she wanted to learn from her mother's family, she was reprimanded by Niu Yaozu, and she explained the crime after the revelation, which scared her out of her wits.

Niu Yaozu is very fond of Sister Feng's beautiful appearance, sharp personality, 1 minds, she is a good housekeeper and director, but she is illiterate, unreasonable, and prone to gossip, but after marrying into their family, he will teach her well Niu Yaozu is different from his father in relying on power. He envies Lin Ruhai in his heart. He carefully inquires about Lin Ruhai's behavior and learns from him. He lives peacefully with Sister Feng and never thinks about anything else.

Hearing that Sister Feng saw Lin Rui at Jia's house and said how well behaved Lin Rui was, how prudent and cautious Lin Rui was, Niu Yaozu couldn't help laughing, and said: "That's the right thing to do. Their family is already the sixth generation. , it is worth learning a lot from us.”

Sister Feng praised and said: "The behavior is really different from ours. It's strange that the superiors value it like that."

Ping An Xi Le's four maidservants all saw Lin Rui, stood by and listened to Sister Feng's words, all of them pursed their lips and smiled, their girl was much stronger before, but now she often goes along with husband and wife.Although Niu Yaozu had two housemates, they sent them away before they got married, and after Sister Feng became pregnant, he never mentioned taking over the house. Except for Ping'er who was loyal to Sister Feng, the remaining three girls were not disappointed. , but without thinking about it, he became loyal to Sister Feng, and only asked Sister Feng to promise them a good future in the future.

In a few days, it was the day when Jia Lian got married. Niu Yaozu went to congratulate him in person, intending to meet Lin Rui.

With Mrs. Dou making arrangements in person, she can do it herself.
