Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

Hearing such news suddenly, Jia Lian and Chen Jiaojiao were astonished. It was even more strange to hear that the death was due to a cold.

Chen Jiaojiao seldom saw Jia Zhu, and she didn't know Jia Zhu's temperament, but Jia Lian knew it very well, and he liked to inquire about the news. Know when you've been counted.Before and after Jia Zhu got married, there were two maids in the house, one of whom hadn't passed through the door. When Li Wan came in, he had to put another dowry maid's face in the room, so there were four.

Excessive indulgence often hurts vitality, Jia Lian was taught by his grandfather and others, he was very concerned about this, and did not dare to indulge, but Jia Zhu is self-confident that he is young and does not take care of himself. The rule in their house is that the people around the elders are more respectable than the young master , Jia Zhu is pedantic and almost dull, so it is inevitable that he has indulged a bit. He is not like his old man who stews tonics every day and studies hard day and night, so he can't stand an illness.

If Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang knew that the result was caused by the maid they gave, would they regret their actions that day?

A hint of sarcasm flashed across the corner of Jia Lian's mouth. In the early years, he had persuaded Jia Zhu to be more, but later he ignored it. It was a waste of his uncle's painstaking efforts to take care of them, but he didn't live up to it.But after all, he and Jia Zhu have been brothers for many years. Jia Lian hurriedly got up and dressed, and told Chen Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, you go there with me, so that we won't be late and tell you to talk over there. The dead are the big ones. Let's go with the second room." No matter how much discord there is, it can't be spread on Brother Zhu. He left at such a young age, let's go and see him off."

Chen Jiaojiao got out of bed silently, first helped Jia Lian get dressed, then Fang called the girl in to tidy up, and said: "I have to go and annoy Mrs. Zhu, but Mrs. Zhu is a well-behaved person, which is different from the other side. I have pity on their mother and son. Lang Geer is still so young."

Speaking of Jia Lan, Jia Lian also has a son, and he said with some compassion: "I have to take care of him more in the future."

The two of them are not good, but they don't have to hurt the children.

Now Jia Lian is adhering to the way of a gentleman and learning from Lin Ruhai everywhere, but he will not blame Jia Lan because of the second wife.It was Mother Jia who loved Baoyu so much. Baoyu had never done anything harmful to nature. Although they were dissatisfied, they never complained about Baoyu.

If Lin Ruhai knew Jia Lian's thoughts, he would be deeply moved, Jia Lian is indeed another person.

After Jia Zhu died, Li Wan passed away weeping immediately.She has only been in the house for a few short years. Although the couple are not as close as Jia Lian and Chen Jiaojiao, they have never blushed or quarreled. She obeyed her parents' teaching and regarded her husband as the god. After that, she only guarded her young son. But how good?Jia Lan couldn't understand the meaning of his father's death. Seeing Li Wan like this, she was so frightened that she cried loudly in the nurse's arms.

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were not in the same room. Hearing the news, it was as if his soul had been blown away, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.Mrs. Wang burst into tears immediately, and Jia Zheng also felt his heart was pierced. He had high hopes for Jia Zhu and hoped that he would be named on the gold list. Now that Jia Zhu is gone, all hope is gone.

Jia Zheng came out of Aunt Zhao's room, went to Mrs. Wang's room, and went with her.

Aunt Zhao was wrapped in a half-worn squirrel cloak to serve Jia Zheng to dress, but she was not wearing any clothes inside. Only the pine flower bellyband lined the skin on her chest like snow, and the clouds and temples were scattered, making her feel more delicate. She sent Jia Zheng to leave before turning around. Pack yourself and put on plain clothes.If Baoyu is the jewel in Jia Mu's eye, Jia Zhu is Jia Zheng's heart and soul, and Aunt Zhao dare not neglect the slightest bit.

A charming look flashed across her brows and eyes, she changed her clothes and came out, she glanced at Mrs Wang's main room, it was pitch black, she thought Mrs Wang had already gone to Jiazhu Courtyard, she couldn't help spitting in a low voice: "You deserve it! They were all trampled to death by you parents, what's the use of crying?"

Aunt Zhao likes to hang out with the wives below, and everyone knows that she is vulgar and has no taboo. Studying hard and indulging in lust at the same time, even a god can't survive if he doesn't have a good condition.

But Aunt Zhao did not dare to say these words in front of Mrs. Wang, she could only gloat secretly.

Coincidentally, Aunt Zhou came out at this time, and when she saw this, she frowned slightly and said, "You don't want to go to my wife. Look at your words and deeds, don't you poke your wife's lungs?" Whoever sees it feels wrong.

Aunt Zhao frowned, and said: "I'm dressed in plain clothes, and I haven't put on makeup, so how could it be an eyesore?"

Although Aunt Zhou is also a concubine, her duties are always at her fingertips. She has no children and no expectations. She has no relationship with Aunt Zhao, who is also a concubine. She just secretly admires Aunt Zhao's ability. Keeping a pair of children, but at the same time despising Aunt Zhao's behavior is really short-sighted, and even Jia Huan got a bit of true biography at a young age, which is very wretched.Aunt Zhou sighed secretly, if Jia Huan was well-bred, Aunt Zhao must be relying on her, but it's a pity that she supports herself, and the whole house is full of climbers, everyone flatters Mrs. Wang, mother and son, who will take care of them?Just suppressing is great.

Shaking her head, Aunt Zhou went to Jiazhu's courtyard, only to see people coming and going inside and outside, and it was a mess.

Of course, this matter cannot be hidden from Jiamu, who learned from her sleep that she burst into tears all of a sudden.

Jia Baoyu, on the other hand, slept very soundly in the room. He woke up when he heard the sound, and when he heard that Jia Zhu was gone, he felt great grief and burst into tears. He hurriedly helped Mother Jia to send Jia Zhu off. It was as bright as day, and the cry was loud.

Li Wan woke up after being pinched, threw herself in front of Jia Mu, hugged Jia Mu's leg and cried bitterly: "Old ancestor, the uncle is so cruel, what should we do if we leave our mother and daughter behind? We live a happy life." How many years? He just went like this. Lange always thought of him as a father in his eyes and heart, who would have thought that he would leave our mother and son and go away. "

Mother Jia, with white hair and gray hair, put her arms around Li Wan and cried, "Good boy, and I, I will not let you feel wronged."

Seeing that Jia's mother was old after all, all the people hurried up to persuade them, and it took half a day to stop.

Jia's mother asked: "The former son is still fine, how can he be gone?"

Hearing this, Li Wan looked at the girls beside him who were crying hard. Although they were dressed in plain clothes and without makeup, they had slender shoulders and slender waists. They still looked enchanting and charming.They all looked clumsy and clumsy in front of Mrs. Wang, but after so many years, they had already revealed their true nature. Today, Jia Zhu's death scared them at a loss. However, it is still very romantic.

Mrs. Jia didn't pay attention, but Mrs. Wang noticed. She was someone who had been there before, and when she thought about rewarding the maids, she immediately regretted it. Then, she gave Li Wan a bitter look. She is a virtuous person, why didn't she persuade Jia Zhu more, which caused Jia Zhu to die of illness at a young age?These goblin-like things should have been sent out long ago.

Li Wan was a young widow, and he was meticulous in his conduct. Immediately, he noticed Mrs. Wang's expression and thoughts, and bursts of bitterness emerged in his heart. If he could persuade him, he would have sent them away long ago. Why would they be left behind?It's not because of Jia's rules.

When they heard the news outside, they sent people to express their annoyance.

Shi Nai thought for a while, and said to his wife: "Everyone is sad when encountering such a thing. Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to pick up Miss Yun. Mrs. Mo has disturbed the Rongguo Mansion." Over the years, Shi Nai has nothing to do with Shi Xiangyun. She is obviously a historian's girl, she insists on living in Rongguo Mansion, every time she sends someone to pick him up, and soon, Mother Jia sends someone to pick him up again.

Shi Nai secretly sighed, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian were the only ones in the Jia family who were better, and now that Jia Zhu is gone, it can be seen that the Jia family is going to decline?Jia's mother was partial to Jia Zheng's family, and loved treasures and jade like treasures. She didn't care much about Jia Lian, and Shi Nai saw it all.

Mrs. Shi Nai frowned, and said, "I'm afraid it's Yun girl who won't come back."

To be honest, although she never loved Shi Xiangyun like her own daughter, she taught everything she needed to teach, and invited the master who studied. Her daughter Xiangxue, who is a few years younger than her in needlework, has already learned well. She has never treated Shi Xiangyun harshly, but she likes to be stubborn in Rongguo Mansion and is always unwilling to come back.It's okay to be young, Ai Rongguo Mansion is lively, now she is six or seven years old, and with such a temper, Mrs. Shi Nai feels a little displeased in her heart, because she was born not her own, so she can't beat and scold at will.

Shi Nai said indifferently: "Are you going to keep her in the Rongguo Mansion for a long time? Take it, so I can teach you, and I will choose a good marriage tomorrow, and send some dowry to accompany her. I am worthy of my elder brother and sister-in-law under the nine springs. We have a clear conscience. "

After a slight pause, he asked: "You have saved up dowry for Xue girl since you were a child, but can you save for girl Yun?"

After hearing Shi Ding's words, Mrs. Shi Nai's face turned red, and she said immediately: "The dowry left by elder brother and sister-in-law has long been sealed in the treasury and has not been touched. Use these to give to girl Yun As a dowry, it would be very respectable to buy some fresh silks, satins, cosmetics, hairpins, rings, medicinal materials, etc., so I didn't prepare for furniture and antiques. Girl Yun also has them, I didn't just give them to Girl Xue."

Shi Nai attacked the official. In the eyes of outsiders, Shi Xiangyun's father deserved it. Mrs. Shi Nai would not neglect Shi Xiangyun, anyway, it was just a dowry. .She is not a fool, she can only get a harsh name for Shi Xiangyun, an orphan who has no father and no mother.Therefore, Mrs. Shi Nai had already planned to bring Shi Xiangyun back, often take her out for a walk, and make an excellent marriage in a few years, and it would be over.

Shi Nai knew that his wife was acting properly, so he nodded and remained silent.

At dawn, Mrs. Shi Nai went to Jia's house to get annoyed. At this time, countless old friends from the old school had already come, and the Jia family was so busy that they couldn't get away from each other.Mother Jia didn't care about things when she was old, Mrs. Wang cried a lot because of the loss of her son, and Li Wan was a new widow, so Mrs. Dou and Chen Jiaojiao came to help with cooking.Just like Jia Lian's thoughts, no matter what, the dead are the most important, so there is no need to coldly refuse.

Mrs. Shi Nai saw it all, and secretly approved that Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian and his son both married a virtuous wife. With them around, looking back on their usual behavior, they can be close friends. It is better to help each other than to be alienated strong.

When it was time to leave in the evening, Madam Shi Nai mentioned that she would take Shi Xiangyun home. Jia's mother raised her eyebrows, but before she could say anything, Shi Xiangyun said, "Second Aunt should go back first. I'm here to accompany my ancestors."

Mrs. Shi Nai smiled and said, "Yun'er, you've lived here for quite a while, and it's very busy here, so don't make trouble."

Shi Xiangyun is now being brought up by Shi Nai and his wife, and he dare not refute, but quietly took La Baoyu's hand, his face full of begging.

Baoyu was so distressed that he sent Jia Zhu away. He was sad in his heart, how could he be willing to go to Xiangyun again?Hastily said: "Old Ancestor, let Sister Yun live in peace, what are you going to do when you go back? It's interesting to have a hard time with the sisters here. Besides, Sister Yun is usually very smart, and she can also relieve the old ancestor's boredom , wouldn't it be good?"

Jia's mother loved Baoyu, and when she heard the words, she nodded and said, "It's for this reason that I can't bear to miss Yun girl."

Mrs. Shi Nai said: "The old lady should be kind to me. Yun girl is old, and she is seven years old in Chinese New Year. She should learn all the rules. Whose daughter didn't learn it at this time? Of course we can't avoid it. Let's talk Is it true that Baoyu doesn't go to school? Don't tell girl Yun to disturb Baoyu's homework too much." Mrs. Shi Nai disliked Baoyu's behavior of hanging out with her sisters. She was fine when she was young, but now that she is grown up, she can see each other , but should not live together anymore.Mrs. Shi Nai also has a daughter, of course she should be cautious, it will be fine for a short time, but it will be the same for a long time, she must not let Shi Xiangyun hurt her daughter's reputation.

Mother Jia supported her forehead. Recently, she had a lot of business. Jia Zhu suddenly disappeared again. It won’t be too late to teach in a few years.”

When Madam Shi Nai heard this, a trace of worry and anxiety flashed across her face.

Yingchun persuaded from the side: "We all know that our ancestor loves Miss Yun, but Miss Yun's surname is Shi, and she often lives in our house. Those who know say that our two families are close. How can you say that the two wives of the historian are intolerant, the girls in my family are not good at teaching, but they make relatives bother."

After hearing Yingchun's words, Mrs. Shi Nai glanced at her, feeling very grateful in her heart, as expected of Mrs. Dou's teaching.

As expected, Mother Jia pondered, and said, "Who did you hear these words from? Could it be that someone really said that?"

Yingchun pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said: "I also listened to the servants of the buyer accidentally learn the outside world, and I only heard a few sentences. We all see how the two wives of the Shi family love sister Yun, and they are just outsiders." How do you know? It's all because the historians can't tolerate Sister Yun, so Sister Yun is raised by our family, and Sister Yun refuses to go back. After hearing this, I feel very dissatisfied with the two wives. Our two families often come and go, who doesn't know As long as every girl Xue has, she has never been shorter than Sister Yun?"

Shi Ding has also been sealed as a marquis, a family of two marquises, all relying on her own ability, Yingchun often hears Jia Lian mentioning it, and she always feels admiration. Mrs. Shi Nai's worries.

Tan Chun smiled and said, "I think Second Sister is right. Sister Yun, what do you think?"

Shi Xiangyun was in the Rongguo Mansion, second only to Baoyu in terms of food and clothing, and the Sanchun sisters were all behind. Shi Xiangyun heard this and had to say: "I don't know who is talking nonsense. Our house is quiet and quiet. Call me out." They were ruined. Outsiders have said so, how can I not go back?"

Mrs. Shi Nai breathed a sigh of relief, ordered someone to pack her things, and then bid farewell to Mother Jia.

When Jia's mother lost her grandson, she didn't care about Shi Xiangyun, so she let her go back.

Back at Bowlinghou's Mansion, Mrs. Shi Nai ordered people to take Shi Xiangyun's luggage back to her room. The small courtyard adjacent to Xiangxue was all behind the main courtyard. He said to Shi Xiangyun: "You should take a rest for two days and make two new sets of clothes. After Rongguo Mansion's funeral for your elder brother Zhu is over, you and I will go out and walk around the various houses."

After hearing this, Shi Xiangyun repeatedly said yes.

Mrs. Shi Nai sighed softly, and ordered someone to tailor clothes for Shi Xiangyun, a set of plain ones, and a set of bright-coloured ones. The plain ones are of course worn when going to Jia’s house, while the bright-coloured ones are worn to other houses. In addition, there are two corresponding sets of jewellery, one gold and one silver, all made very small and unique.

Xiangxue was young, she walked over and said, "Mom is too much trouble, she might not appreciate it."

Xiangxue and Shi Xiangyun are direct cousins, but Xiangyun treats her far less well than Jia's sister Baoyu and others. Xiangxue is five years old now and has been spoiled and spoiled since she was a child. Seeing Shi Xiangyun like this, it is inevitable that she feels uncomfortable.

Mrs. Shi Nai smiled and said: "Like your father, we have a clear conscience." Seriously, she can choose a very bad family for Shi Xiangyun, and tell her to suffer. It is a lifetime for a girl to marry Well, if you marry well, you will enjoy happiness, if you marry poorly, you will suffer, but she is not that kind of person, so there is no need to hurt her reputation outside of these things.

After hearing this, Xiangxue was immediately taught.

Jia Zhu's funeral has been busy for several days. During the funeral, Mrs. Shi Nai brought her children there. By the time the work is over, it is already the end of the year. Who else cares about Jia Zhu's death?There are still a lot of people eating, drinking and singing, and the only ones who are serious and sad are their wives, children and parents.In the first month of the next year, Mrs. Shi Nai took Shi Xiangyun to various places, and brought her out when she was entertaining guests at home. Whenever people asked, she laughed that Yun was the eldest brother's daughter.

Seeing Shi Xiangyun's innocence, straightforwardness and innocence, everyone liked Shi Xiangyun quite a lot, and they also admired Mrs. Shi Nai's behavior very much.

Shi Nai and Shi Ding's brothers all joined the army. When Mrs. Shi Nai invited people to have New Year's wine, Zhang Dahu's family was specially invited among them.Zhang's mother eats vegetarian food and recites Buddhism, stays at home, and recently has to take care of her granddaughter, so she lives in seclusion, and Gu Yi comes out for all social interactions.

The Shi family and the Lin family are relatives, Zhang Dahu was brought up and educated by Lin Ruhai, and Gu Yi married him because of Lin Ruhai's sponsorship. In the past, Zhang Dahu was also under Shi Nai's command when he was in the army, and he often came and went with the Shi family. When she first met Shi Xiangyun, she gave her a very heavy gift, and others also gave her presents.

Shi Xiangyun is intelligent by nature, and within a few days with Mrs. Shi Nai, he probably knew everyone, especially with Nan'an Concubine very close.

Concubine Nan'an asked: "Your uncle and aunt returned to Beijing this year, why didn't they pick you up for a few days?"

After Ye Ting returned to Beijing, he sent people to pick up Shi Xiangyun several times. Shi Xiangyun lived in Rongguo Mansion at that time, but Mrs. Shi Nai sent her to visit twice. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "I have already visited, but uncle My aunt has just returned to Beijing, and she has a lot of tedious things to do, so I don't want to disturb her, so she has been living in Rongguo Mansion, and has only recently returned home."

Concubine Nan'an warned: "Everyone says uncle, you are just such an uncle, don't be too alienated." Ye Shi was originally her niece, and she was also very concerned about Shi Xiangyun.

When Shi Xiangyun heard this, he smiled and said yes.

Unexpectedly, before the banquet was over, someone came to report that King Jing was gone, and the whole city was shocked.

Not caring about inviting people to New Year's wine, Mrs. Shi Nai hurriedly sent people over, and went there again in person.

Among the four kings in the southeast, northwest, and north, the only King Jing of the North has the highest merit, and he is still the king.Shui Rong was not a young man, he was born beautifully, and his temperament was modest, so he got engaged. He was planning to get married this year, but his father died suddenly, so he had to postpone the date, and then helped the spirit to go back to his hometown for burial, and Princess Bei Jing also accompanied him.

King Beijing was originally from Yangzhou, and his journey through wind and rain, needless to say in detail.

However, Jia Min received the news of Jia Zhu's death in the first lunar month, so he was a little depressed.Although she loved Jia Lian more because Jia Zhu had both parents, but Jia Zhu was also her own nephew, who suddenly died of illness at a young age, how could she not be sad?

The three brothers and sisters Lin Rui didn't know what was said in the letter, but seeing Jia Min burst into tears suddenly, they hurried over to express their annoyance.

Jia Min's eyes were red, and she sobbed to Lin Rui: "Your brother Zhu suddenly disappeared." Daiyu and Lin Zhi often heard Jia Min mention that Rongguo Mansion is different from other families, and that the Jia Mansion is rich and rich, but they have never seen the Jia family and others. Lin Rui had been to Rongguo Mansion and met Jia Zhu, so Jia Min only talked about it with Lin Rui.

Hearing this, Lin Rui said in surprise, "Brother Zhu is only 23 or [-] years old this year? Why is he gone?"

Jia Min sighed: "It is said that I got a cold soon after winter, and the medicine I usually take is no longer effective. At night, the servants didn't hear the sound of tea, and I thought I was sleeping soundly. I never thought about getting up in the morning. I have lost my breath. .Your elder brother Zhu was originally weaker than others. I asked him to practice riding and shooting a few years ago. I am afraid he didn’t listen. He couldn’t stand the cold. How sad it is for a white-haired man to send a black-haired man, and Lang Geer is left behind. At the age of four, how will you and your sister-in-law Zhu live in the future?"

At this point, Jia Min was very sad and couldn't help crying.

Lin Rui lived in Jia's house for a year, and he knew how the Jia family behaved. Whenever he was sick, no matter how serious, he would starve for a few days, and then he was not allowed to eat oil, meat, gluten, etc. He also saw what Jia Zhu did. It would be strange if he could be as strong as Jia Lian.Lin Rui has grown up recently, and knows a little about personnel, so he can see clearly.

He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Jia Min without saying a word.

When he didn't speak, Jia Min felt more comforted in his heart. Wiping away his tears, he saw that the three sons and daughters all showed concern, and told Lin Rui, "Tell me to sit quietly for a while, and you take Yu'er and Zhi'er out for a walk." , don't be scared."

Lin Rui agreed and brought Daiyu and Lin Zhi out.

Lin Zhi looked up at the various birds in the cages under the corridor, held Daiyu's hand, and asked, "Where are you going?"

Daiyu also looked at Lin Rui, her eyes were clear and full of hope, she looked into Lin Rui's eyes, she felt very distressed, and asked, "Where does my sister want to go? I'm in charge today, and you can choose the place. "Lin Rui imitated Lin Ruhai and cared about the world. After living in Yangzhou, he rarely stayed at home during the day.

But Daiyu said: "When things like this happen to my grandmother's house, how can we have fun? Let's just calm down."

After hearing this, Lin Rui felt reasonable, so he brought her and Lin Zhi to the study, and just sat down when he heard someone report that someone outside was coming to play with Daiyu, Lin Rui didn't know who it was, and looked at Daiyu.

Daiyu didn't know who came, but when she asked carefully, it was Yang Ru.

Suddenly seeing Lin Rui sitting by the desk, with a rich spirit like jade, and a handsome personality, Daiyu realized in her heart, and couldn't help but flashed a bit of displeasure. She occasionally read some allusions, or heard Jia Min say that there is no woman The family was chasing after the man's family, and their family had no intention of getting married, but the Yang family refused to give up.

Daiyu counted, Yang Ru has been in Jiangnan for a long time, it is difficult for Liu Ying and his wife, and they have suffered a lot of grievances.Many people died due to natural disasters in the past year. Liu Ying hoped that Gao Sheng's thoughts would be put to waste and he would still stay in Yangzhou.

Lin Rui didn't know what Daiyu was thinking, so he asked casually, "Who's daughter came to look for you? What made you so angry?"

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, "Who else could it be? A girl from the Yang family."

When Lin Rui heard this, a look of disgust appeared on his face, and he said, "Why are you here again?" When Jia Min went to Gusu to take care of him for the exam, he had already heard what Jia Min said, and he was quite annoyed. Although Ru's actions are out of line, his courage is also admirable. Unfortunately, he is not smart and has poor means, which is not what he likes.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min had told him long ago that their family valued being well-matched, and the woman's family status could be lower, but she must have a decent family style, character, and temperament, so as not to be unworthy of a wife and harm her children and grandchildren.

Lin Zhi hurriedly grabbed Daiyu and said, "I'll let my mother send me away, and I don't want to see my sister." He still remembered that Yang Ru made her sister unhappy several times, and the other sisters didn't like her, so how could I let my sister see her again?Lin Zhi has been with Daiyu since he was a child, longer than his parents, so there is no room for others to bully Daiyu.

Daiyu patted his hand and said, "Wouldn't it be impolite if I didn't see those who came to see me by name?"

Lin Zhi hurriedly said, "I'll go with my sister."

Daiyu smiled slightly, led him to Lin Rui, handed it to Lin Rui, and said: "Brother looks at my brother, I will come whenever I go. I have experienced several times, and I know how to get rid of Miss Yang."

When Lin Zhi heard this, he became anxious.

Lin Rui agreed with this very much, and held Lin Zhi to sit next to him, letting Daiyu go by herself.

Lin Zhi stared at Lin Rui dissatisfied, and turned his head angrily.

Lin Rui didn't care. Daiyu would go out in the future, and she would be a housekeeper when she grew up. How could she just protect her?It would be good to tell her to learn how to send people, so as not to be too thin-skinned to refuse any request in the future.

Therefore, Lin Rui ignored Lin Zhi and read the books on the case to relieve his boredom.

At the beginning of the year, Daiyu wanted to take Lin Zhi to school, but Mr. Fang suddenly asked Lin Ruhai to leave for a month. Daiyu was originally a girl, and there was no limit to the amount of homework. Last spring, Daiyu fell ill and did not go to school for nearly two months. Mr. Fang Now that he is older, he loves the leisure and tranquility even more, so when there is something in his family, Lin Ruhai immediately promises not to mention it.

Lin Zhi is already five years old, and after being educated by Daiyu since he was a child, thousands of words are in his belly. According to Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's original intention, they still ask Mr. Fang to teach. Lin Zhi has already had sex with Mr. Fang because of Daiyu. After one or two years of study, Mr. Fang liked him very much and agreed to him long ago, but if he wanted to teach him well, he had to wait for him to come back.

In this way, Daiyu and Lin Zhi are now taught by Lin Rui.

Lin Ruhai went to work during the day, it was the end of the year, and Jia Min was very busy, and she had to work hard to deal with renters and human relations everywhere. Lin Rui thought that he was studying in Gusu and had never taken care of his younger siblings. He was naturally happy to listen to Lin Ruhai's words. To.

This study is not Lin Ruhai's study, but Daiyu's.They used to go in and out of Lin Ruhai's study room when they were young, and they didn't shy away from it. As they got older, Lin Ruhai's study room was very important and they were not allowed to go alone. , the outer study was used by Lin Rui when he was at home, and the inner study was given to Daiyu.

The pens, inks, poems and books in Daiyu's study room were all locked tightly, only the books on the case were left. Lin Rui flipped through a few pages, and suddenly a bookmark fell from it, and it landed on the case. It is a thin piece, with landscapes and figures painted on it, which is very elegant, with exquisite brush and ink, and there is a hint of charm between the turns of the layout, as if it was done by a woman.

Although Daiyu loves poems and articles, she also likes rhythm, but she also understands Danqing, but Danqing has only studied for a few years, and she has not yet developed such skill, so she can tell at a glance that it is not Daiyu's handwriting. Is your talent better?

He put the bookmark back in the book calmly, and asked Lin Zhi with a smile: "Zhier, do you know that your sister often discusses poetry and books with others in the study?" Daiyu's study does not invite people to come easily Yes, for ordinary hospitality, whether it is the flower hall, or the side hall, or the bedroom, anyone who is not very friendly will never be invited into the study.

With his back turned to him, Lin Zhi was sulking. Hearing this, he turned around and said, "Brother, why do you ask these questions? My sister didn't ask me to talk."

Lin Zhi was young, and often followed Daiyu and still played among the sisters, but those sisters were older than Daiyu, and now they pay great attention to the reputation of the boudoir. Daiyu asked Lin Zhi many times not to tell her what she saw or heard. Outsiders, lest it be bad for them to spread the word, the pen and ink in their boudoir is not easy to show others.

Lin Rui also understood, and said with a smile, "Just asking, I'm reading here, and I'm afraid of seeing other people's pens and inks."

Lin Zhi thought for a while, then stretched out two fingers to Lin Rui, and said, "My brother promised me two things, and I'll tell my brother." Lin Rui is his brother, and although he doesn't love him as much as his sister, he is still very good.

Lin Rui nodded and said, "Tell me, which two things?"

Lin Zhidao: "From now on, I want to go out with my sister. My brother is not allowed to stop me. I want to protect my sister from being bullied."

Lin Rui smiled immediately after hearing this, and said, "Okay, as brothers and sisters, we should love your sister more. We will all be able to make contributions in the future. Others dare not bully each other easily. Your sister is different. Boudoir When a woman is bullied, she can't compare to other people's power, so she can only swallow her anger."

Lin Zhi curled his lips and said: "Brother said it nicely, why didn't you ask me to go out with my sister just now? The second thing is that my sister wants to see the sunset in the fields outside. My brother will take us out for a walk when he has time. "

Lin Rui agreed immediately, and praised: "Zhi'er is a good boy, he always thinks of his sister."

Lin Zhida is proud, of course, his sister loves him the most, so of course he loves his sister too.It's best for him and his brother to take his sister out, so they don't want to see Yu Hengte's special paintings of landscapes to please his sister.Lin Zhi remembered indignantly that the last time Yu Heng called him ugly little brother at his home, and later gave him a lot of paintings, and his sister was overjoyed.

Lin Rui had heard Yu Heng say it a long time ago, and upon seeing this, he said, "Then tell me who has been to the study."

Lin Zhidao: "Not everyone can enter my sister's study room. So far, there are only two people. One is the elder brother of the Yu family, who is a bad person, and the other is the elder sister of the Zeng family."

Lin Rui thought for a long time before he remembered who Zeng's surname was.

It's been a while since he came back from Gusu. He once followed Jia Min to visit Zeng's house. Mrs. Zeng is the owner of Wende County, and she is very quiet and peaceful. He once told Lin Ruhai and Jia Min that since Zeng Ming married Wende County, Lord, why did Xu Fei still dare to target Zeng Ming? Lin Ruhai told him that Zeng Ming was later favored by the old king of Beijing and promised him with his daughter.The old King of Beijing Jing was very clever, he chose Zeng Ming who was unable to be an official as his son-in-law, and when it came to Shui Rong's father, he even handed over his military power early, and only treated himself as a wealthy idler.

He has met Zeng Ming's son Zeng Xian, and also knows that Zeng Ming has a daughter named Zeng Jing.

Lin Rui opened the book again and looked at the bookmark. Could it be left by Zeng Ming's daughter?Immediately, he couldn't help laughing, Daiyu loves to write poems with people, it's not that she doesn't collect other people's things, she may be Zeng Ming's daughter.

However, looking at the bookmark in front of him, Lin Rui only felt that he was talented and the picture was wonderful.

Lin Zhi asked curiously, "What is brother looking at?"

Lin Rui quickly covered the scroll and said, "Reading, do you think there is something in the book for me to read?"

Lin Zhi giggled, shook his head and said: "There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book."

Lin Rui patted his forehead, just when Daiyu came back, she asked with a smile, "What is Chou Er talking about? How many times have I said this before, don't take this serious thing seriously, reading is for reason, not for fame, fortune and wealth .It’s vulgar to study and make progress with such a mind. What’s the fun? It’s better than farming!”

Lin Zhi took a hit from Lin Rui, and hurriedly ran to Daiyu to complain, and then added jealousy: "My brother also asked me who came to my sister's study."

Daiyu glanced at him and said, "Did you say that?"

Lin Zhi immediately lowered his head.

Daiyu couldn't bear to blame her younger brother, but she still said: "It's my brother's luck. If it's someone else, what would be better? Ugly, you're getting older now, so please be more polite. It's okay for us to keep our own words and opinions out of the way. Outsiders know about it. It is inevitable to say that you are not polite, and if we say that our parents are wrong, then there is something to see."

Lin Zhi shook Daiyu's hand and said: "Sister, I know I was wrong, I must listen to my sister's words in the future, sister blames brother!"

Daiyu sighed, looked at Lin Rui, her eyes rolled, and she seemed to be asking questions.

Lin Rui smiled and said: "Don't blame him, blame me. I was a little curious, and I was afraid that I might accidentally see the poems and ink in your boudoir."

Daiyu took Lin Zhi to the case, looked it over carefully, but found nothing else, and said, "How can there be any boudoir poetry and writing? Before brother Yu came over a few days ago, I took the poems and essays we usually made The Danqing pen and ink is put away and locked in a box. There are only a few new books I read and some pens, ink, paper, inkstone calligraphy and paintings, nothing else."

Lin Rui pointed to the book in front of him, and said, "Listening to what you said, why are there omissions in the book?"

Daiyu was taken aback, let go of Lin Zhi's hand, opened the book, and saw a bookmark in it.She frowned, and said, "I've been looking for it for a long time, why are you here?" She picked it up and put it back in the drawer beside her.

Lin Ruidao: "If you don't let people come in, you can leave it alone. If you let people come in, you should clean it up anyway."

Daiyu nodded in agreement, and said: "Don't worry, brother, I understand in my heart. This bookmark was specially drawn by us last time. It was put on the table before it was finished, and then it was put in the book casually. forget."

Lin Ruiqi said: "I made it all by myself? What about you? Let me see."

Daiyu didn't understand the meaning of Lin Rui's words, and said with a smile: "Sister Zeng and I each drew twelve pieces, and the jade bamboo was polished by my father for me. The paintings on it were drawn by me and sister Zeng." , Sister Zeng took the six I made, and kept the six she made, and the remaining bookmarks I made myself have long been used by my father."

Lin Rui heard that it was drawn by Zeng Jing, and remained silent.

In the evening, the family of five were talking in the room after dinner. Jia Min asked about Yang Ru's visit during the day, and Dai Yu told the truth, "It's nothing important. Let's meet and say a few words." Yang Ru thought to herself Clever, he treats others as fools, and always asks about his brother, but she doesn't know that she hears it all, and he hates it even more. It's hard to tell Jia Min, but Jia Min must understand it very well.

Yang Ru is often squeezed out by the local rich, it's all her own fault, Zeng Jing is also a newcomer, why don't you see others like this?

Jia Min sighed, and said to Lin Ruhai: "I think it's important that we settle down earlier." At the beginning, the couple said that Lin Rui would marry after he was 15 years old. At the beginning of the year, Lin Rui was 15 years old.

Lin Ruhai nodded, thinking about picking a wife from those families
