Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

Seeing Jia Min sitting on it, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with beautiful face and green temples, he didn't look old at all, on the contrary, he looked younger than his peers, he looked only in his thirties, Huo Can couldn't help being envious and jealous, wishing to eat Jia Min.

Huo Can is still a few years away from turning 40 this year. According to her wealth and honor, she has lived in a place where the seasons are like spring for many years. She has not experienced wind and frost. Arguing with her husband, and at the same time relying on her origin in the Nan'an palace, disrespecting her parents-in-law, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and competing with her uncles and aunts, she was too hardworking, and she didn't take good care of herself after giving birth, and gradually felt old.

The year before last, Huo Can's father-in-law, Yang Hao, was transferred to Beijing. It happened that Huo Can was pregnant and had a bad pregnancy, so he had to stay in Yunnan to recuperate.Huo Can didn't want to be alone, so he asked her husband to stay with him, and the eldest son and daughter went to Beijing with Yang Hao's wife.When Huo Can gave birth to her youngest son safely, she didn't want lochia to continue after giving birth, and it took more than a year to gradually recover.She is not a person who can calm down, she always hates her husband, and she doesn't like her children. At this time, there are no parents-in-law, brother-in-law and sister-in-law to take care of the children. She and her husband are careless. Chan didn't care about his children, and couldn't help crying, so his old illness relapsed, and he didn't enter the capital until this year.

Huo Can was unmarried and suffered repeated disasters. He thought about how people said how Lin Ruhai rose to the top, how Jia Min was a husband and wife, and how the Lin family had both children, so he transferred all his resentment to Jia Min, so he returned to the capital for the first time. Before I could pack my luggage and things, I heard that the Su family married a daughter, so I asked Mrs. Yang Xu and Yang Ru to accompany her.When Huo Can returned to the capital for the first time, he didn't have a post, so he couldn't come alone.

Jia Min looked calm, and didn't take Huo Can's arrival to heart. Nan'an Palace couldn't wait to send Huo Can away from the capital with just a few words back then. Now Lin Ruhai is in the limelight. Hearing that Huo Can acted recklessly, killing people, including civilians and slaves, he decreed to depose his position as princess, why should he be afraid of Huo Can?Even though Nan'an Palace is still in charge of the military power of Xihai Yanzi, but it is forbidden by the emperor, and it seems that it will not last long.

Compared with Huo Can, Jia Min was more generous, sitting calmly, without any sign of pursuing the past, nor showing any dissatisfaction with Huo Can. When everyone saw him, they secretly admired him, it was a good demeanor.

However, until now, Huo Can still doesn't know what dignity means. She always feels that she is the honor of the princess, so she refuses to bow her head to others. Seeing Jia Min sitting on top, she sneered and said: "It's a big money, see When people come, I don’t know how to say hello.” In her eyes, Jia Min was just a woman who had no class back then.

After hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Everyone calls her Princess Huo now, but it is because of the face and affection of Nan'an Palace. Seriously, she can only be called Grandma Yang San, and more than half of the princes present at the scene are ranked above her. Come on, she actually said Jia Min in such a tone?It's strange that Jia Min talked to Mrs. Shi Nai, Xiao Wang, Sister Feng and others without looking at Huo Can.

Some of them have met Huo Can, and some have not seen her. Those who have seen her frown secretly, thinking that Huo Can is out of place, and those who have never seen her are secretly amazed that they have never seen such a character.

After hearing this, Jia Min smiled lightly, neither happy nor angry, and said to Mrs. Yang Xu: "Miss Su is overjoyed today, why did she come so late? I think Miss Ru looks more and more promising. It’s several times better than before, besides Ru girl, who are you bringing? I can’t even recognize it.”

Mrs. Su almost laughed out loud, Jia Min's words sounded simple, but when she thought about it carefully, they were extremely powerful.

Mrs. Yang Xu lived in the capital for a long time, and she also knew about a past event back then. Seeing the faces of others, she felt that her face was dull, and sighed: "I can't blame Mrs. Lin for not recognizing her. She is also a compatriot sister of Prince Nan'an, she just came to Beijing, come with me to see and see, and enjoy the happiness of the Su family marrying their daughter."

As he said that, he turned around and said to Huo Can, "The Princess, hurry up and meet me, so that I don't recognize him next time."

Huo Can's husband, Yang Sheng, only has a false job and has no serious rank. Huo Can is naturally not an imperial order. The couple have always relied on the power of their father and brother. According to the rules, it is a matter of course to salute everyone. , glared at Mrs. Yang Xu fiercely, full of reluctance, if 20 years ago, how many people would dare to accept her gift?

Jia Min waved his hand and said with a smile: "Forget it, we are not ignorant people. For a noble person like Princess Huo, we can't afford to be a gift from Princess Huo, and we will lose our longevity."

Huo Can said angrily: "Mrs. Lin speaks so loudly, why bother to carry a stick when she speaks?"

Jia Min frowned. If Huo Can was clever and scheming in the past, he would never be like this in front of others. Now, after nearly 20 years, is he not as good as before?Can't even care about the scene?

There was no need for Jia Min to speak again, Mrs. Su stepped forward and said with a cold face: "If Princess Huo is here to congratulate you, please take a seat. If not, the humble house is a humble place, and I dare not keep Princess Huo's noble toe." Su The wife is also a proud person. Today is the day when the only daughter gets married. Since Su Li was the chief examiner of the general examination and was not at home, she could not personally send her daughter out of the court. Mrs. Su felt very regretful in her heart. I don't know if he is the examiner, Huo Can came to make trouble today, how could Mrs. Su allow her to target Jia Min.

Although Huo Can came for Jia Min, she knew that she could not offend Mrs. Su, so she sat down angrily.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but shook their heads. This kind of person doesn't have a bit of everyone's demeanor. It's better to stay away, so as not to offend someone because of her, and it will be disadvantageous to them. Therefore, except for people who have some contacts with Nan'an Palace and the Yang family Other than that, the others didn't pay much attention to Huo Can, and each talked and joked with acquaintances.

Seeing this, Sister Feng didn't get close to Huo Can, she just waved to Yang Ru and called to talk.

Yang Ru has already made a marriage promise, and she is destined to be the eldest son of the Xining Palace. She is a few years older than the Xining Palace's eldest son. If Yuan Chun marries, Yuan Chun will be her step-mother-in-law, on the contrary, she will be a generation lower than Yuanchun Daiyu and others. .Yang Ru usually sees Sister Feng often, remembering that this marriage was agreed between Sister Feng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Niu is the sister of Concubine Xining, so she is inevitably a little shy.

Sister Feng had a clever mouth, and after a few words, Yang Ru eliminated the influence of Huo Can.

Jia Min thought of the reason, and felt a little speechless about the Yang family's attachment to the dragon and the phoenix. Huo Can is Yang Ru's cousin, that is to say, Yang Ru and Huo Yu are of the same generation. The same is true, when the old concubine of Nan'an Palace came to make amends, she was discussing friendship with Jia Mu's peers, so Huo Can is a generation lower than Jia Min.Now that Yang Ru promised to the heir of the Xining Palace, he was inferior for no reason, so what about relatives?On the contrary, chaos has arisen, and it's not in the royal family.

Listening to the conversation between Yang Ru and Sister Feng, compared with the past, their speech and behavior have indeed improved a lot. Jia Min couldn't help but treat her a little more pleasantly, unlike Huo Can. When Yang Ru asked about Daiyu, he laughed and said, "I haven't come to Beijing yet. Well, let’s wait for two or three months.”

Yang Ru was a little disappointed, Daiyu looked good and had great talent, even if she came to the capital, she was still a first-class person.

Huo Can was bored, she saw Jia Min's long-sleeved and good at dancing, talking and laughing with others, she was indescribably at ease, and hated her in her heart, the older she got, the more left-sided her temper, no one taught her these years, because of Nan'an Palace, The Yang family didn't care about her, so she didn't behave as well as when she was young, suddenly she thought about it, and said with a smile: "I heard Mrs. Lin has a daughter?"

Jia Min frowned, she asked what Daiyu wanted to do again?From the beginning to the end, Jia Min knew that Huo Can had bad intentions.

Yang Ru asked, "Sister-in-law three, what are you talking about?"

Huo Can said: "It is said that there are hundreds of women in one family, so let me ask what's the matter?" Huo Can thought to himself, how can he think of a way to let his son marry Jia Min's daughter? In such an end, I might as well get it back from Daiyu and become my own daughter-in-law, instead of letting myself be tortured!

The more Huo Can thought about it, the more excited she became, and a hint of malice flashed in her eyes, but luckily she still knew how to cover it up so that no one could see it.

Since Huo Can didn't reveal anything, Jia Min naturally couldn't see it, and didn't know Huo Can's plan, but she knew that Huo Can was uneasy and kind, so she said calmly: "I don't need Princess Huo to worry about whether my family has a daughter or not."

Huo Can was thinking about how to behave after returning home so that she could ask the Lin family to accept her as a daughter. Seeing Jia Min's expression, she was full of contempt for herself, and she suddenly became angry and said: "I advise Mrs. Lin not to look down on others too much. , you caused me to suffer countless hardships and suffer countless sins, I am today because of you, and one day, you will get retribution."

Mrs. Su was furious, and shouted sharply: "If Princess Huo is here to make trouble, please leave!"

Hearing her words, Huo Can sneered immediately, and said, "A dog of the same feather, I don't mind staying longer." Anyway, she came here today, just to see what Jia Min looks like, but she didn't expect her to be far more beautiful than before. Mrs. Su, who was always protecting Jia Min, also felt resentful in her heart. After saying this, she walked away immediately and grabbed Yang Ru.

Yang Ru staggered and almost fell to the ground. She threw Huo Can away with all her strength, finally stood still, and hurriedly apologized to everyone. Seeing this, Mrs. Yang Xu's expression was not good.

Mrs. Su looked at Mrs. Yang Xu and said, "Today is my daughter's wedding, please forgive me too much."

Mrs. Yang Xu smiled wryly and said: "We should make amends. My niece and daughter-in-law are not sensible, so please be more considerate." After finishing speaking, she also apologized to Jia Min, and hurriedly took Huo Can and Yang Ru away, so as not to be in the middle of the night. If you offend someone here again, it’s not easy to end it.

After they left, everyone sighed: "Is it really disgusting?" The implication is that they don't like Huo Can as a person.

Concubine Bei Jing also came to congratulate her today, and she didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but at this moment she said to Jia Min: "Don't worry about her, whoever is crazy, today is Miss Su's happy day, let's eat seriously Going to the theater with wine is more important."

After hearing her words, Jia Min was startled suddenly, seeing Huo Can's words and deeds, isn't it like a madman?Jia Min thought about Huo Can's behavior today, he was totally different from his family background, his expression was scattered, his speech was crazy, his eyes were vicious, he had no scruples, and he spoke out of the box casually, all of which revealed his differences from ordinary people.But Huo Can's life and death had nothing to do with him, after Jia Min thought about it, he didn't mention it any more, and just sat down with everyone.

At the end of the banquet, Jia Min came back from the banquet at the Su family. Jia Min made people watch Huo Can's movements. Although he was not afraid of her, he was afraid that he would plot against his family again. The children were about to get married and engaged, so it was best to be careful, not to mention that she was very special. I asked about Daiyu, but it would be bad if I made up my mind about Daiyu.After finishing the order, Jia Min didn't care, and took care of Lin Rui wholeheartedly.

Lin Rui came back to welcome his relatives for Gu Shi, and didn't go out anymore, only studying his homework at home.

Spring is just around the corner, on the ninth day of February, there is still winter chill, and there are three games in total, three days each, Jia Min was worried that Lin Rui would not be able to bear it, so he took his personal servant girl and sewed three bodies for Lin Rui with thick material Single clothes, and because Mrs. Yu has been ill recently, I was afraid that she would not be able to take care of Yu Heng's exams, so she also made three bodies for Yu Heng and sent them to send.

Old lady Yu is not well, she ordered her maid to clean it up earlier, but she was very grateful to see Jia Min's hard work, and sighed to Yu Heng: "The Lin family treats you no worse than their son. In the future, you should be filial to them."

Mrs. Yu's illness has made her feel that she is in the next world. In the future, Yu Heng will be left alone. Although he has uncles and cousins, he will be nothing. It will always be more difficult, but I hope that the Lin family will take care of Yu Heng as always, and support him to regain the glory of the old man when he was alive.Mrs. Yu loves Daiyu, and she proposed marriage because of Yu Heng's old age. At the same time, it may not be because the Lin family father and son are extremely outstanding, which is beneficial and harmless to Yu Heng.

Yu Heng hurriedly said: "Grandmother, don't worry, your grandson is a son-in-law and a son-in-law. He should be filial to his father-in-law and mother-in-law." He had no parents since he was a child. In his heart, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were like parents. When they were in the south of the Yangtze River, they treated him well. Just like Lin Rui.

Old Madam Yu nodded and said, "Go to study quickly, the exam is due in two days."

Yu Heng agreed, went to the Lin family to thank him, and continued to work hard after returning.

Old Madam Yu was exhausted and was still recuperating. She had prepared all the gifts for marriage proposal and wedding ceremony. Apart from some wedding cakes, goats and geese, the betrothal gift was sealed in the treasury. She knew that Daiyu had a lot of dowry, so she prepared The dowry gift and dowry money are also very large, but the house has not been repaired, so I don't know if I can survive until they get married.

For a while, the maid kept saying that someone had posted a post, and when Mrs. Yu saw that it was someone who had asked someone to date her earlier, she immediately pushed it away.

But when Mrs. Yang Xu and others returned home, Huo Can was still very angry. She could see that she was treated coldly in the Su family because of Jia Min. Everyone wanted to flatter Jia Min, so she treated herself coldly.

Yang Ru complained: "Sister-in-law Santang, I advise you to be more quiet. Why bother to say that Mrs. Lin is wrong? Nowadays, no one knows that Mrs. Lin will be promoted once he enters the capital. Third cousin is just a vain job. On a par with others? Even if our uncle and father are united, they are not as respectable as Mr. Lin in front of the Holy Majesty. What's more, their family and the empress's natal brothers are very good. It's too late for others to get along with the Lin family. Deliberately offend Mrs. Lin."

Thinking of Huo Can's words and deeds in Su's house, Yang Ru's expression was rather ugly. She had originally planned to get married in April, if something bad came out at this time, how would she gain a foothold in her husband's house in the future?Yang Ru doesn't know the past, but judging from the current incident, Huo Can will definitely bring trouble to his family.

After returning to Beijing for so many years, Yang Ru had to be taught by Mrs. Yang Hao for a period of time because her cousin said she was not good at manners. This opened her eyes. She is more sensible than when she was in Yangzhou. The momentum, dare not offend them.

Huo Can's face sank like water, and he said displeasedly: "Ru'er, are you dissatisfied with me?"

Thinking of how bossy she was when she was not out of the cabinet, how could she think that she is so underestimated today, even a mere girl like Yang Ru underestimates her, it is hateful.

A flash of sarcasm flashed across Yang Ru's face, and she immediately lowered her head, not letting Huo Can see the slightest bit, so as not to cause another disturbance.

After all, Huo Can is the daughter of Nan'an Palace. Although Nan'an County King has been far away from her and has not been in close contact with her, the Princess Nan'an loves Huo Can, the daughter of a direct relative. How could people bully Huo Can? Can go.Over the years, Yang Ru has often heard from her family that Concubine Nan'an often sends people to deliver things to Huo Can, which means that the Yang family is not allowed to neglect Huo Can.

So Yang Ru said indifferently: "How dare I be dissatisfied with the princess, I just want to let the princess understand the situation in the capital, so as not to offend others and implicate the entire Yang family. My mother can't resist the princess's order, so I only brought the princess today Lord, let's go together, if Princess Ming'er wants to go out, don't think about our mother's idea, after all, although we have the same surname Yang, we are not a family."

After finishing speaking, Yang Ru didn't even look at Huo Can, and went to ask her aunt to say hello, leaving Huo Can trembling with anger.

Mrs. Yang Xu was afraid of the power of the Nan'an Palace, and because Yang Xu hadn't been promoted for several years, and her power was getting smaller, she smiled and apologized: "Ru'er is young and ignorant, the princess must not care about her like her, and I will punish you at night." She paused, so that the princess can calm down."

Huo Can said angrily: "I can't afford it!" After saying that, he went back to his current residence.

Mrs. Yang Xu stood there, showing a hint of displeasure.

Yang Hao and Yang Xu are direct cousins. The fathers of the two families separated long ago, but the Yang family has a lot of people, and they have always lived together in one place. Therefore, the two houses are adjacent to each other, and there are doors between them. Huo Can sits in the Yang family today. Mrs. Xu's car went to Su's house, and it was the same when she came back. She had no title or rank. Mrs. Yang Xu was a second-rank wife after all, so Huo Can had to leave Yang Xu's house and go to his own.

When Mrs. Yang Hao heard what Yang Ru said about what happened in Su's house, she immediately became furious.

Back then when she heard about Huo Can's reputation in the capital, she didn't like Huo Can's entry, but it was the Nan'an Palace that suppressed others and forced her to marry. In addition, Yang Hao was later promoted to the governor of Yunnan and ruled over Xihai Yanzi. It is not easy for the prince of Nan'an who has already gone to support Huo Chan.Later, the prince of Nan'an passed away, Huo Yu and Huo Can were not close, and the concubine of Nan'an couldn't do it anymore. Huo Can was also sensible, and behaved with his tail between his legs. exasperating.

According to Mrs. Yang Hao, Huo Can is really like a madman. He is like this when making troubles at home. Regardless of his care, he almost eats people. But when he is a man with his tail tucked up, he looks like he is advancing and retreating. The whole Yang family is secretly amazed. .

Hearing that Huo Can didn't greet her after she came back, but instead ordered someone to drive back to her mother's house to complain about her grievances. Mrs. Yang Hao didn't say anything, and she was afraid that Huo Can would ask about Daiyu's intention to make trouble at Su's house, so she immediately ordered someone to clean up the Buddhist hall. Before Huo Can went out, he ordered a few thick women to escort Huo Can into the Buddhist hall to clean up. He only said that Huo Chan was devoted to Buddha and was willing to serve Buddha Yunyun. Wang Fu, told the ins and outs of this matter to Princess Nan'an.

Princess Nan'an is the daughter of the Zhen family. She is an old relative to the Jia family. After marrying into the Nan'an palace, she has been in constant contact with the Jia family. Her mother and Jia Min have also been friends for many years. His son and daughter were talking about their marriage, and they wished that the Yang family would see Huo Can firmly. How could they blame the Yang family? On the contrary, Concubine Nan'an felt sorry for her daughter and was slightly displeased.

Princess Nan'an saw this, because she knew that Princess Nan'an was not a foolish person, she hurriedly talked about her children's marriage, and persuaded: "It's better to ask grandma to be quiet, so as not to cause trouble, we all regret it."

Concubine Nan'an suddenly remembered the scene when she and the old concubine apologized to Jia Min that year, she sighed, and she really didn't care anymore.The water thrown by the married daughter, since Huo Can married into the Yang family, and the Yang family never bullied her very much, it is reasonable for her to be detained in the Buddhist hall just because she was afraid of causing trouble.As Princess Nan'an said, the grandson and granddaughter are talking about marriage right now, and it's so easy for people to forget those things, and they can't let Huo Can drag down the future of the grandson and granddaughter.

No, when she entered the palace to pay her respects the next day, the Empress Dowager said flatly: "Don't tell Can'er to go out, lest I be disgusted."

Concubine Nan'an recalled how kind and amiable the Supreme Emperor and Empress Dowager treated Huo Can back then, but today they spoke like this, she couldn't help being stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

Empress Yu sat under the empress dowager, and agreed with a smile: "The queen mother is very right, I will send two nuns to teach the third grandma Yang some rules, so that she can know some world affairs, even if she doesn't go out, she should learn I have to learn too. I offended Mrs. Lin yesterday, and it was Mrs. Lin who was magnanimous and didn't care about her. If it was someone else, wouldn't the world be turned upside down?"

Concubine Nan'an and Princess Nan'an heard this, and responded tremblingly, not daring to argue in the slightest.

Empress Yu took a look at their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, drank a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Watching Enke start the test, everyone should not cause trouble, don't tell Grandma Yang to harm the Lin family, but tell Brother Lin to be quiet Let's take the exam quietly. The concubine and princess don't know that my old grandmother proposed to marry the eldest girl of the Lin family for my unworthy brother. Rao land makes trouble, it will inevitably be unsightly."

The Lin family is a kind person, Empress Yu, Emperor Changqing, and the old lady Yu's grandson have all benefited from them. At this time, how can Empress Yu ignore it? It's the next step.Empress Yu was not afraid that others would find out that the two of them were negotiating marriage, so she talked to Concubine Nan'an and Princess Nan'an face to face.

Concubine Nan'an's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law secretly called out their luck, fortunately they didn't show up for Huo Can when Mrs. Yang Hao detained Huo Can into the Buddhist hall, otherwise, wouldn't they offend the queen?Busy obediently said yes, but also said that he dared not.

The empress dowager heard this, but she couldn't help being a little surprised, and said: "When did it happen? Why didn't I hear you? You suddenly said that you want to give a marriage?"

Although Yu Heng Tiansha's lone star has a reputation, he is also a hot figure.

Empress Yu laughed and said, "It's been decided a long time ago, but my brother wanted to be an official in the imperial examination that year, and went to Jiangnan the year before last to study and take the exam. In the first year of Changqing, the Ministry of Rites asked for my father and brother to be posthumously because my brother was not around." In the capital, the Holy Majesty will keep it temporarily, and wait for the results of my brother's exam this year, and then make a decree together with the marriage."

The Empress Dowager nodded and said nothing, secretly sighed that the old lady Yu was scheming, with a Yue family like the Lin family, are you afraid that Yu Heng will have no future?When the time comes, he will inherit the title of his father and brother, and he is young and promising, so he will inevitably become a celebrity in front of Emperor Changqing.

The Empress Dowager's natal brother also has a youngest daughter named Qingran. She is 15 years old this year and she is very smart. However, she has a higher eye for marriage. She is usually a student with a high reputation or a child of an aristocratic family. I bowed my head to others, so I wanted to find a family with high rank and status to marry in the past, that is to say, the mansion of the royal clan and princes, who was born unlucky and had no age. Only Yu Heng is the direct brother of Empress Yu, and he must inherit the title of his father and brother , either the Duke or the Marquis, all of them are of super quality. The Empress Dowager was thinking of waiting for Yu Hengxing to make a deal for them, but who would have thought that they would make an agreement with the Lin family.

The empress dowager felt very sorry. Two years ago, because of Yu Heng's reputation as a lone star, their family looked down on Yu Heng, and then they spent the past two years. As they get older and their vision is higher, it's not as easy as it used to be. Almost all those who had proposed marriage were engaged, and the empress dowager thought of Yu Heng.Hearing what Empress Yu said, the Empress Dowager knew that she could not bring up her previous plan.

People in the world are just like red and white, even if you are the empress dowager.

Seeing the Empress Dowager's expression, Empress Yu was puzzled at first, but then remembered her niece Qingran, and she understood it, secretly sneered, at first she disliked Yu Heng, but now she feels that Yu Heng is a proper person, he should not be too snobbish.

Concubine Nan'an and Princess Nan'an came out of the palace, looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces, and immediately decided not to care about Huo Can.Now if you offend the Lin family, you offend the empress. When they heard that Empress Yu sent two powerful nuns to Huo Can, they were silent.

Empress Yu sent these two nuns to look at Huo Can. Although Huo Can has no ability to hinder the Lin family in the slightest, leaving such a tricky and weird figure to ridicule people all the time and target the Lin family everywhere is really annoying. People hate it, and Empress Yu never underestimated anyone. The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest, so it is better to prevent it before it happens.

Because of this, everyone in the capital knew the news of the marriage between the Yu family and the Lin family, and they were both surprised and sighed.

When it comes to family background, the two families are originally compatible, but the Lin family is booming, and the Yu family has only Yu Heng. I don’t know what the future will be. Yu Ke and Yu Qiu have already separated their families. They are afraid of Yu Heng’s fate. Because of the relationship, it is a bit incompatible. I didn't expect that the Lin family would agree to this marriage with the Yu family, promising it with their beloved daughter.As a result, the people who originally planned to inquire about Miss Lin's behavior could only hold back their flags and drums. Didn't they hear that the Holy Majesty would bestow marriages for them?

There are also some people who feel sorry for the behavior of the Lin family, but they don't think Yu Heng is a bad person, and wonder that the Yu family only proposed marriage to their family.

Lin Rui and Yu Heng didn't care about the rumors outside, they worked hard at home, and on the ninth day of junior high school, they each went to the Gongyuan to take the exam.

It snowed early in the morning, less than half a day, and there was an inch of snow. At the same time, many students were carried out. Jia Min ordered someone to watch at the gate of the Gongyuan. After knowing it, he said worriedly: "It's so cold God, they are all wearing single clothes, how can they endure it?" Lin Ruhai was not so cold when he participated in the Spring Festival, and it took him several days to get over it when he came out.

Lin Zhi was wrapped in a cloak, sitting cross-legged on the kang, holding hot tea brought by the maid in his hand, and said, "Don't worry, mom, compared to those frail students, brother and brother Yu are both people who have learned kung fu. Can survive."

Jia Min took a sip of tea, and saw the little maid threw a few pieces of tangerine peel into the brazier, and the room was full of fragrance, so she couldn't help but go back to Lin Zhi and said, "Silver frost charcoal is burning in our room. It’s so warm, you are wrapped in a cloak, they are all in single clothes, and the examination room is surrounded by ice and cold, how can you survive? Besides, it lasts nine days.”

Lin Zhi put down the tea bowl and said, "Mom, don't worry too much. Why didn't mom say to use the thickest material to make clothes for brother and brother Yu? Since they want to pass the imperial examination, they have to suffer. How can everything be smooth sailing in the world?" It’s a good thing. Seeing my brother suffering now, I only hope that the heavens will be good when I take the exam in the future.”

As he spoke, Lin Zhi had a smile all over his face.

Jia Min glared at him and said, "You're thinking about yourself. It's snowing today, and I don't know when it will last. When the snow stops, even if it's sunny, it will be colder and more difficult when it melts."

Jia Min was worried about Lin Rui and Yu Heng, so he ordered people to prepare things early and invite a doctor, and waited for them to come back after the exam to ask for pulse.

Lin Zhi let Jia Min be busy, but he was calculating the journey of the team that was ordered to go south, and also estimated when Lin Ruhai and Daiyu would arrive in the capital. The siblings would meet each other. After half a year, he missed Daiyu very much. .

At this moment, Lin Rui, who entered the tribute courtyard after many inspections, was indeed shivering from the cold. Fortunately, the clothes were made of tribute materials, and they were quite thick, which could block some cold wind and snow. He was proficient in kung fu, and he adapted after a while , but it is very easy to freeze when grinding ink, and it can only be melted by exhaling, so that it is easy to write articles.

Lin Rui has a strong body and feels cold, not to mention those frail scholars who can't lift their shoulders or hands, and their clothes are even thinner. In less than half a day, Lin Rui saw several children being carried out, and one person on the opposite side was carried out At that time, although he was unconscious, tears were running down his face, and he was still holding the brush tightly in his hand.

To become famous in one fell swoop is known to the world, once every three years, hundreds of scholars are recruited, if it is not for Enke this year, it will have to wait a year or two, and no one is willing to give up unless it is a last resort.

Lin Rui shook his head, ignoring others, and answered quietly.

The same is true for Yu Heng.

Because it was spring snow, it didn't fall for a long time, so it stopped that night, but it was still cold the next day. After nine days of staying up, Lin Rui and Yu Heng were both physically strong and very haggard. No bad smell.When they walked out of the tribute courtyard, they immediately saw that some people couldn't move, some fell to the ground, and some immediately vomited blood, and so on.

The two came out one step ahead of the others, and before they could speak, they saw Jia Lian staggering out behind him, with unkempt hair and bloodshot eyes, seeing Lin Rui and Yu Heng, Jia Lian said weakly to Lin Rui: "My good brother, help me quickly." !" As for Yu Heng being a decent uncle, Jia Lian didn't dare to speak.

Lin Rui stepped forward to support him, and said with a smile: "Brother Lian, you have participated several times, why do you still look like this?"

Jia Lian said: "The previous few times were not as cold as this year. What's more, every time I come out of the Gongyuan, I feel that I am reborn as a human being. Strange people say that the imperial examination is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky. It is true. Have you seen it before? Someone early He was so cold that he was unconscious, and some people vomited blood, and he was still an old man in his 60s and [-]s, so it was hard for him."

Lin Rui smiled, and saw Lin Zhi standing on the carriage beckoning to him, and asked Jia Lian, "Is someone here to pick you up?"

Jia Lian looked outside, saw Zhao'er, the little fellow, and said, "It's already here."

All the rich and noble families sent young men to pick them up early. Jia Lian and Yu Heng bid farewell to Lin Rui, got into their carriages and left. Lin Rui went to his own carriage. Lin Zhi first handed him a squirrel cloak and said: " My brother got into the car and brought a can of rice soup wrapped in a small quilt, which was still hot, so my brother had a few sips to warm it up first."

Lin Rui took the cloak and said, "Has anyone from the Zeng family come?"

Lin Zhi rolled his eyes, pursed his lips and smiled, pointed to the back and said, "Waiting there."

Lin Rui walked over and found out that Zeng Xian hadn't come out yet. He waited for a while until Zeng Xian came out of the tribute courtyard, but his face was a little pale.

Lin Zhi glanced at Lin Rui, no wonder his elder brother married his sister-in-law and was not beaten up by Zeng Xian, this thought was used just right.

Lin Rui was sitting in the car, drinking the warm rice soup poured by Lin Zhi, feeling refreshed. Seeing Lin Zhi like this, he said, "Don't laugh at me in your heart, you will have to go through this too tomorrow."

Lin Zhi curled his lips and asked, "Mom is waiting at home, let's go back and get serious."

When he got home, Jia Min hurried up to greet him, asking about his health, and he was really concerned, so the fragrant soup was already ready, and he hurriedly ordered Lin Rui to take a pulse first, and the doctor said he was fine before allowing him to take a bath and change clothes.

After Lin Rui took a shower, he changed into jade-colored clothes. When his hair was dry, he felt extremely tired. After seeing Jia Min, he went to rest.

Jia Min felt sorry for his son, so he asked people to make supplements for him in various ways, and at the same time, he picked out many supplements and sent them to Yu Heng at Yu's house.Lin Rui stayed at home for two days, then went out to meet friends, and they all silently wrote down the answers of the day to appreciate each other.Ten or so days later, when it was time to release the list, Lin Rui was confident and not too anxious, but Jia Lian was anxious to ask people to watch it.

Jia Lian failed the exam several times in a row, which made him feel ashamed that he and Lin Rui and others were in the same subject.Today, Jia She, Mrs. Dou, Chen Jiaojiao, Yingchun and others were all in the East Courtyard. Seeing him walking up and down in a hurry, they all laughed.Half a day later, Zhao'er suddenly came to announce the good news, and shouted out of breath, "Second Master has won, Second Master has won No. 70 and six!"

Before saying a word, Jia She was so happy that he jumped up immediately and asked, "Is it true?"

Zhao'er said outside the door: "I got it, master, the second master got it."

Jia Amnesty immediately beamed with joy, curled up the corners of his mouth, and said, "It's a happy event. Come, I will reward Zhao'er with two liang of silver for drinking and eating. Go and tell the people in the house that everyone will be paid an extra month's money, and then go to give it to everyone." The old lady announces the good news, and when the second master is awarded a Jinshi, then each of them will be paid three months' monthly money!"

But Jia Lian asked, "Has Uncle Lin ever been hit?"

Zhao'er just accepted the reward, and when he heard Jia Lian's question, he hurriedly said, "Back to the second master, Uncle Lin also won, No. 2, Uncle Yu Guo won No. 3, Uncle Lin's brother-in-law, Uncle Zeng won." No.9. People say that there are so many young talents on this list!"

When Jia Amnesty heard this, he blew his beard and stared at Jia Lian, and said, "You are bigger than them, but not as good as them."

Jia Lian didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Study depends on talent. I'm not as good as Brother Lin. Why should I be compared with them? Besides, if I pass the Gongsheng examination, I will be able to participate in the imperial examination. Eight out of ten I will be a Jinshi. When the time comes I can be regarded as a well-known scholar. At my age, how many people are still taking the exam for talent, and I am also young and promising."

What he said made Jia Amnesty couldn't help laughing, and everyone smiled.

Scholars in this world are noble, although Jia She doesn't like reading, but he respects those who are talented in reading. Today, his son is selected as a tribute student, and seeing Jinshi is in front of him, why is he not happy?As Jia Lian said, he is still young, he is only in his twenties this year, not yet thirty, so he can really be called young and promising.

When Jia's mother learned that Jia Lian had won, she was very happy, and hurriedly ordered Yuanyang to find several things to reward Jia Lian.Only Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang couldn't help but think of Jia Zhu, and they couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

Yuanchun didn't know what his parents were thinking. He disciplined Baoyu strictly every day, and hoped that he could shine in the family like Jia Lian.

Baoyu didn't want Yuanchun to leave the court, but seeing Yuanchun forcing himself to study all the time, he was very bored. Also, when Qin Keqing died, Qin Zhong and Zhizhi'er were hanging out in the nunnery. When the son came to visit, Qin Ye was furious and beat Qin Zhong severely, and then died of anger. Qin Zhong was injured and sick, anxious and ashamed, and died. Since then, no one has been with Baoyu. How can Baoyu still be willing to study?Blamed Yuan Chunyi crazily
