Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

Because the marriage between Yu and Lin's two families was decided early, everyone knows that today's decree to confer a marriage has passed Minglu, and it is very decent. Not everyone's daughter can get a marriage by decree from the Ministry of Rites. Lin Rui High School, Yu Hengfeng Jue, Lin Ruhai is about to take office, some are envious, some are regretful, and some are busy to congratulate, there is a lot of laughter, and they walk across the courtyard.

Originally, in Lin Rui High School, although there were many people who came to congratulate him, many of them were close friends of Lin Ruhai, but they came to the Lin family to have a drink under the pretext of their name, and by the way taught their children and grandchildren to follow Lin Rui's example.In fact, when Lin Ruhai came to Beijing, he brought a lot of Huiquan wine, and they came over to have fun and eat a few jars of his wine.But with a decree, people who didn't have much contact with the Lin family came one after another.

Su Li looked at Lin Ruhai, who was wearing new clothes, and felt a sense of sympathy for his daughter. Although he had thought carefully about his engagement to his daughter, he was still reluctant when it came time to make the engagement. Besides, Lin Ruhai, like himself, loved his daughter as much as his life. Don't worry about him wearing new clothes to show off.

Lin Ruhai didn't know what was going on in Su Li's mind, so he could only cheer everyone up.

After seeing off the guests in the mansion, Jia Min came back and saw Lin Ruhai sighing in the room, couldn't help but smiled, and said, "Master was so free and easy before, why is he acting like this today?"

After hearing Jia Min's words, Lin Ruhai immediately changed his face, and said: "I was thinking about my children before, and my future was only a word of marriage, so I am not as shy as ordinary people, but thinking of such a delicate girl like Yu'er, beating a child He is very filial, and in a few years it will belong to someone else, so he will inevitably feel uncomfortable."

Jia Min laughed and said, "Could it be that Yu'er is not our daughter now that she's gone out? The two families live close to each other, and they often come here to be filial to the master. Thinking about it, Heng'er will not let her go back to her mother's house. Rui'er is getting married soon, and Yu'er will get married soon." It has been decided, two things in our life have already been completed, and Zhier will settle down in a few years, we will have no regrets."

Thinking of his youngest son, Lin Ruhai was shocked, and said: "Rui'er passed the exam, Tanhua, you don't need to worry about your future, I will come back from court in the future, just teach Zhi'er, although he is the youngest son, he doesn't need to inherit the family, but he can't raise him He has the temperament of a dandy. He is not as calm as Rui'er, and he has to suppress it."

Lin Zhi was currently in Lin Rui's room asking questions, but he didn't know that Lin Ruhai was planning to teach him his homework.

On the second day, Jia Amnesty sent Jia Lian to congratulate him, which also meant to ask Lin Ruhai for advice.Because Lin Rui had already been invited by Yu Heng, Lin Ruhai met Jia Lian, seeing him suave and energetic, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You have passed the Jinshi examination, what are your plans?"

Jia Lian couldn't hide the joy on his face, and hurriedly bowed and said, "My nephew is here today, one is to congratulate him, and the other is to ask my aunt for advice."

Lin Ruhai said: "Nowadays the first and third official positions have not come down. I can only go to work when I am on vacation. Now I can't be the master. There are more than a hundred Jinshi and more than a hundred fellow Jinshi. It is not every day that there are vacancies. Some It’s not enough to wait for half a year, and I don’t know when the paperwork for your appointment will come down, and I can probably wait until I take office to ask in person, so I ask you about your plan, you don’t have to hide it from me.”

Jia Lian thought for a while and said, "My nephew wants to let him out of Beijing."

Although the Rongguo Mansion is respectable in the capital, there are many old friends, but the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister, let alone the Royal Palace, even if they are officials, they are only petty officials.It's better to be a parent official in the local area, with awe-inspiring prestige, and when you have meritorious service, you will have a few relatives to help you. I understand that officials at the peak will not dare to hinder your future indiscriminately. At that time, you will be promoted step by step. When Gao Gao entered Beijing, he was no longer a petty official at the mercy of others.

After listening to him finish his plan, Lin Ruhai showed approval, and said: "It's best for you to let the capital go out. It's very good for you to think so. In the capital, there are only a few shortages and so many people watching, but it's hard to make a big deal out of it." Stretch your fists."

Jia Lian said happily, "Aunt also agrees?"

Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "Naturally. Let me ask you, where do you want to put it outside? There is a fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, a bitter cold place in the northeast, a desert in the northwest, and mixed living in the southwest. Enjoy it."

Jia Lian bowed his head and said for a long time, "If my nephew thinks like this, he naturally wants to go to the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River."

Lin Ruhai couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this.

Jia Lian's heart tightened, she stood up hurriedly, lowered her hands, and said, "Auntie, please give me advice."

Lin Ruhai said unhurriedly: "If you listen to me, don't pick rich lands. You can only make the people in poor lands have enough food and clothing. This is your achievement. Why bother to go to the land of fish and rice? Turn the bitter land into a rich place, and show that you are a rich man. Are you afraid that your ability will not be reused by the sage? Since you were young, you have rich clothes and good food, and your family has no shortage of money to spend. You don’t need to covet a few local money. Therefore, outsiders will not say that you abandon the fertile land and take the poor place. You relied on your ancestral shadow to find a good job, and you have a very good reputation."

Jia Lian suddenly understood, and then hesitated.

Lin Ruhai persisted and said: "I remember you once said that the second house in the mansion has done many evil things?"

Jia Lian's heart shivered, he nodded in agreement, and said with a wry smile: "That's right, when the master and wife were sent to the ancestors, they revealed it just because the second wife was happy, but they didn't do anything about it. These years, my nephew has been worried. I am afraid that one day it will be exposed by outsiders, and it will affect my nephew, parents, wife and children." Jia Lian did not forget that Mrs. Dou once said that before she entered the door, she was always acting outside with a post from the Rongguo Mansion. The post refers to Jia Amnesty, not Jia Zheng. If this matter is uncovered in the future, Jia Amnesty must be held accountable. Even if it is not him himself, lax family management is also a sin.

Lin Ruhai said indifferently: "The Fuzhong acts like this, and it is the best policy to avoid it. Since you can't manage the Fuzhong, you can only find another way out. After you become an official, manage it well and show your ability to govern the country and the people step by step. It is the best way for you to make meritorious deeds to ensure your future safety. The Supreme Emperor is still here, the Holy Majesty is benevolent, he is a kind saint, and he can distinguish right from wrong. Avoid the disaster of annihilation."

Jia Lian was startled, but after thinking about it carefully, it turned out to be very reasonable, and said with a long bow, "I would like to follow my uncle's teaching."

Lin Ruhai sighed: "Our two families are in-laws who can't be more close. How can we stand on the sidelines? I still remember that in the past, I once said that I asked a famous teacher to teach Baoyu, but the family didn't listen, so it went to this point."

A look of embarrassment flashed across Jia Lian's face, and he said, "It's because those people in the family failed to live up to my uncle's good intentions. My nephew knows all about what Baoyu did that day. There is nothing to say. The second room has been stealing the main house for many years. To be honest with my uncle, my nephew has deep resentment, but thinking of my uncle's teachings, I have never hated Brother Zhu and Baoyu. But they didn't listen to my uncle's teachings and ended up like this You can't blame uncle for this situation."

After Jia Lian knew what happened that day from Mrs. Dou and Chen Jiaojiao, she wished she could eat Baoyu. Is that easy to say?Fortunately, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were magnanimous, otherwise they would have shut him out, and he would have nothing to say.However, Jia Lian looked at Jia Zheng's actions with admiration. He didn't expect him to be able to do so. After beating Baoyu, he came here to make amends to Lin Ruhai.In this way, no matter what, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min couldn't care less about Baoyu.

Now, Jia Lian is only worried about the actions of the Yu family.

At the beginning, Daiyu and Yu Heng were not engaged, but Empress Yu had already expressed her intentions through the mouths of Princess Nan'an and Princess Nan'an, and it was already a name. How many people in the capital did not want to marry the Lin family?So they dare not go to the door.Unexpectedly, Baoyu asked Daiyu first but couldn't get the characters, but then gave Daiyu the inscriptions, which not only offended the Lin family, but also the Yu family!

At that time, Yu Heng and Daiyu hadn't settled on official titles, and Yu Heng was preparing for the palace examination, so he didn't make any moves. Now, after the palace examination, the list has been released, and Yu Heng has been granted the first-class title again. The marriage between the two is bestowed by the Holy One himself. Well, the name is justified, if the Yu family doesn't make a move, the world will look down on the Yu family instead.Therefore, thinking of this, Jia Lian became very anxious. Even though he knew that Yu Heng was open-minded and broad-minded, he was still worried that the Yu family's actions would harm the whole family, after all, there was also the words of Queen Yu.

Lin Ruhai shook his head and smiled, and said magnanimously: "Second brother-in-law has come to make amends, I said I don't care about it, not to mention that Baoyu is still young, has been beaten, and was rejected by your two brothers. Who is it? It’s just that, in the future, Baoyu will not be allowed to come to the door for weddings and funerals, so you have to be considerate.”

Jia Lian said respectfully: "It should be so, uncle doesn't have to say that. Now, my nephew is a little worried about Mr. Yu."

Lin Ruhai chuckled, waved his hands and said, "I know the tempers of Rui'er and Heng'er, and they are not the ones who will take revenge. What's more, Baoyu has been taught a lesson, and if you pursue it, they are narrow-minded and make people laugh instead. You don't have to worry about the Yu family. How can you be so aggressive when you attack the family, a family of scholarly officials?"

Lin Ruhai understands the thoughts of the world best, and is always easy to sympathize with the weak, even if the weak are not worth it. Crying bitterly in front of people, and the people they have harmed have not suffered any loss, and are still full of prosperity and wealth, the world will naturally favor the weak who do evil, rather than the one that has been hurt.

Lin Ruhai didn't dislike Baoyu at first.He has wandered around for so many years, and he can tell that only Jia Mu and Baoyu care about Daiyu more than others. Although the grandparents and grandchildren do things wrong, Daiyu often suffers from them.No one knows Daiyu's situation in Jia's house better than Lin Ruhai. Perhaps even Daiyu doesn't know that she has been framed many times, including Baoyu.Even though Baoyu has done these things, but he is indeed innocent, and even Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian can forgive him for his unintentional mistakes, let alone Baoyu?So in this life before they did evil, Lin Ruhai magnanimously took care of them, but unfortunately only Jia Lian obeyed.

Of course, Lin Ruhai didn't know that Baoyu cursed herself when she first saw Daiyu.Now that I know it, and thinking of Daiyu's suffering in Rongguo Mansion, how can Lin Ruhai behave as before?

When Jia Lian heard the words, she immediately felt relieved. Since Lin Ruhai said so, it would certainly not harm the whole family.Leaving this matter aside, Jia Lian asked Lin Ruhai for some advice before leaving and going back.Jia Lian was deeply moved by Lin Ruhai's words, so he discussed with Lin Ruhai that when he was in need, he would discard the rich and rich, choose the poor, and make some achievements so as not to be implicated by the second wife.Jia Lian has been studying for twenty years, and he can see clearly that no one cares about the Jia family's actions at this time. If something goes wrong, everyone will fall into trouble, so it's better to be on guard first.

Looking at Jia Lian's back, Lin Ruhai called for a servant, and when he heard that Lin Rui had gone to look for Yu Heng, he shook his head and sighed, and went into the garden with his hands behind his back.

Arriving in the garden, wading across the bridge, seeing Daiyu wearing a blue shirt, carrying a flower hoe and a flower broom coming from the mountain, her actions are like a weak willow supporting the wind, Lin Ruhai sees that she has no kit behind her, Asked: "Are you picking up fallen flowers and burying them again?"

According to Lin Ruhai's thinking, he didn't like to see Daiyu like this, because he always remembered that the burial words Daiyu recited when burying flowers really made him sad, but Daiyu had such a temperament that she couldn't bear the falling flowers to be stained by sewage, and every time When the flowers fall in late spring and early summer, they will personally pick up the fallen flowers and bury them in the flower graves they ordered.Seeing that her daughter liked it, Lin Ruhai didn't want to dissuade her.

Because the marriage was settled, Qingran waited for her sister to tease her several times, and Daiyu was so ashamed that she refused to go out, so she didn't socialize with Jia Min, but often wandered in the garden, and suddenly saw countless fallen flowers, so she picked up the old things and went back to the mountain I ordered a flower mound, and heard Lin Ruhai ask. He pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I saw a lot of fallen flowers. I thought that people would come and go tomorrow, and I was afraid they would be trampled, so I tidied up some. Don't worry, father, daughter." Now that everything is going well, how can I make a sentence that hurts the feeling of spring and autumn."

Lin Ruhai said: "It's good that you know it in your heart."

Daiyu put down the flower hoe, leaned on it in her hand, and said with a smile: "Since when did my daughter worry about her work? How about giving my daughter some homework while Daddy is at home?"

Lin Ruhai smiled happily.

The father and daughter went to Feng Laiyi alone, so there were five houses in total, so a separate room was set up as a place for Daiyu's family to splash ink, and everything in it was complete.

Lin Ruhai just sat down and saw that Daiyu's recent poems had been written into a book, and he was holding them in his hands to enjoy them. He picked them up when he didn't want to, but saw a few pieces of paper under the paperweight, and a corner was exposed due to his own movements, and he vaguely saw the words "Flowers fade away" Flying flowers all over the sky, who will pity when the red flowers fade away" and other words, Lin Ruhai's heart was shocked, how could he not know that these were the first two sentences of the funeral poem?

He quickly pulled it out to have a look, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as the burial flower words.

Daiyu came over to make tea, saw Lin Ruhai reading her new burial poem, she couldn't help laughing and said: "This is a dream I had yesterday, and it was written in the dream. The paper is full of sadness and bleakness, which made my father laugh."

Lin Ruhai raised his head and said with concentration: "What dream did you have? Dreamed of such words?"

Daiyu put down the tea bowl, turned her head and said: "I don't remember clearly, but I just remember that I feel a little empathetic. I think this poem should have been written by my daughter, but I couldn't remember what happened in the dream, so I just recorded it. Who knows? I told my father to see it. Speaking of it, it was so strange that so many happy events happened one after another yesterday, and my daughter tossed and turned, but instead had that dream."

Lin Ruhai said: "Don't do these poems, I'd rather be happy words than see these."

Daiyu replied with a smile, but she didn't think so in her heart.Whether the flowers are blooming or not, how can it be full of joy to enjoy the wind and the scenery?But seeing Lin Ruhai's serious expression, Daiyu followed Lin Ruhai's answer.

Lin Ruhai let out a long sigh. In his heart, it was enough for him to know the events of his previous life. Why bother his wife and daughter?It would be God's mercy to allow himself to be reborn, so why not let Jia Min and Daiyu go?He still hasn't forgotten the dream that Jia Min had that year, and now Daiyu is again, fortunately it's not real, otherwise, wouldn't it be a lifetime of pain?

Daiyu comforted, "It's just a trivial matter, why can't Daddy let go of it?"

Lin Ruhai patted her hand, with a loving face, and said, "Why can't you let go of being a father? I'm just afraid that you will be trapped in dreams."

Daiyu asked: "Is it like the dream I had when I came to Beijing? Although the encounter in the dream is somewhat similar to what I saw at my grandmother's house, but the difference is too far, and my mother won't let me think about it. "

Lin Ruhai blurted out: "How come I don't know when?"

Daiyu was puzzled, it was indeed a trivial matter, why did Lin Ruhai make such expressions and words?She didn't know the truth and falsehood before, so she didn't take it seriously, so she didn't tell Lin Ruhai about it. Later, she only told Jia Min that Jia Min told her not to say anything, and when she encountered something one after another, she forgot it. Seeing Lin Ruhai like this now , Not daring to lie, hurriedly told him.

Like Jia Min, Lin Ruhai kept Daiyu silent, and secretly cursed that God had no eyes and came to bully his wife and daughter again.

I don't want to, as soon as this idea fell, suddenly there were several scorching thunders outside, like a landslide and a ground crack, and the downpour followed by heavy rain, hitting thousands of green bamboos in the courtyard swaying in the wind, like blue waves, like Chengyu.

Daiyu looked out of the window and saw raindrops dripping from the tiles. She wondered, "Why is it raining? There is no sign at all. My mother and elder brother have gone out today. I just woke up in the morning and saw that the weather was fine. None of them brought umbrellas." After finishing speaking, he raised his voice and ordered the servant girl to send someone to bring umbrellas, coir raincoats and clothes to keep out the cold to Jia Min and Lin Rui, so as not to catch the cold on the way back.

Lin Ruhai stared at the rain curtain outside the window, secretly surprised, and complained in his heart, is it thunder and rain?

Daiyu didn't know the reason, she caught a glimpse of the painting hanging on the wall, and said with a smile: "On a rainy day, if you are fishing by the lake wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, it must be like a painting."

Lin Ruhai scolded: "You have only been healthy for a few years, and you have to take medicine after you catch the cold."

Daiyu stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.

But she said that the servant girl sent someone to deliver things to Jia Min and Lin Rui. When Lin Rui received it, she was still talking to Yu Heng in the study of Yu's family. After hearing that Daiyu sent it, Yu Heng hurriedly called in. It smelled like clothes and umbrellas. Coir raincoat and other things, said to Lin Rui: "Sister is really considerate of brother, the rain only fell for a while, and the things were delivered first."

Lin Rui was quite complacent, but when he thought that it had already been assigned to Yu Heng, his face suddenly darkened.

Yu Heng quickly turned away and said, "I have remembered what my brother said today. Don't worry, brother. I have my own plans."

Lin Ruifang remembered his reason for coming, nodded and said: "Now that you are a knight, you are at the cusp of the storm, so you should be more careful in your actions, and don't give others any excuses. Jia Baoyu has already been beaten by Zhi'er, and also by the second uncle." After a while, it is well known that the second uncle came to the door to make amends in person. Even though the news has spread, if we are aggressive, some people will definitely say that we are wrong. I have invited the children of the Jia family to drink, but without him, it shows that It's your own opinion, only you, be careful."

Although it would be indecent to continue to pursue the investigation, but if you don't pursue it, I am afraid that many people will make fun of it secretly.

Lin Rui thought for a while, and said: "I know Jia Baoyu's temperament, and he is not a villain. He is not as malicious as the world thinks. It is only an unintentional mistake that makes people angry. place."

Yu Heng said calmly: "If I don't show up, I don't know how many people will look down on my sister and me."

Lin Rui nodded and sighed.

Yu Heng asked: "I remember my elder brother said that what Jia Baoyu fears the most is Mrs. Jia, who dislikes studying the most?"

Lin Rui asked without answering, "What is your plan?" He has known Yu Heng for ten years, and he understands Yu Heng's temperament better than others. None of them are soft-hearted people.

Yu Heng nodded slowly, and said, "That's right."

Lin Rui waved his hand and said with a smile: "In this way, it will appear that our two families are magnanimous, and people will not say that we are not forgiving."

As early as when he heard that Daiyu had been wronged in the Rongguo Mansion, Yu Heng had an idea. He and Daiyu's name had not been determined before, so he did not act, but now there is no need to worry.When the post of Jinshi in the new department was vacant, the number one scholar was edited from the sixth rank, the second place and Tanhua Lin Rui was edited from the seventh rank, and Yu Heng was appointed as a noble scholar of the Imperial Academy, walking in front of the imperial court. , drafting edicts, etc.

On his first day at work, Yu Heng was called to him by Emperor Changqing. Although he is a good man, he is a first-class duke, so today he is wearing the clothes of a first-class duke, and he is so favored by Emperor Changqing. people envy.

And Lin Rui, the number one scholar, the second place and other Jinshi who were admitted to the Hanlin Academy conscientiously consulted the old Hanlin.The top two are both poor students. The number one is already forty years old, and the second place is thirty-five. They are in their prime. They leaped to the dragon's gate, but after all, they come from poor backgrounds, and they are bound to do things. On the contrary, it is Lin Rui who greets everyone Finally, ask questions like a duck to water.Everyone knew Lin Rui's background, and there were two or three close friends of Lin Ruhai in the Hanlin Academy, so no one dared to show him face.However, Lin Rui didn't eat alone, and took the number one scholar to Tanhua, who was naturally grateful.

But when Yu Heng got off work, officials from six ministries came out one after another. He suddenly walked up to Jia Zheng and said with a smile: "I have heard the name of Zhenggong for a long time, and he is upright. Now I want to discuss something with Zhenggong. I don't know if I can take it easy?"

Seeing this, many officials stopped in their tracks.

Originally, both the Lin family and the Jia family suppressed Baoyu's words that day. No matter what, it is not easy to publicize too much when it comes to the daughter of the Lin family. Kuang Jiamu and others are not stupid. It is not good for Baoyu to spread the word. However, people in Jia's family like to chew their tongues, and they leaked it out.These days, the Lin family and the Yu family have been silent. Although some people know that the Lin family came to apologize early because of Jia Zheng, but the Yu family is not. They are all thinking about what they should do. Unexpectedly, Yu Heng's first day at work, So I came to Jia Zheng. Everyone was not curious.

As Yu Heng's uncle, Yu Qiu was afraid of Yu Heng's reputation as a lone star of Tiansha, but after Yu Heng and the daughter of the Lin family discussed marriage, he did not restrain her. Just wanting to find Jia Zheng's troubles, he is also a member of the Yu family, how can Baoyu be spared, seeing Yu Heng like this, he smiled and said, "What can I tell Master Jia?"

Yu Heng's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "The Holy Majesty ordered me to bring some books to Zhenggong."

After hearing this, Yu Qiu became very curious and hurriedly asked, and the others also listened attentively.

Yu Heng glanced at the crowd and saw that they looked forward to waiting for him to explain in detail. He suddenly closed his mouth, but he didn't reveal it. He only looked at Jia Zheng and said, "Mr. Can the government please move?"

When Jia Zheng saw Yu Heng approaching, he was already in a state of anxiety. Hearing this, he hurriedly said, "Yes."

The two walked to a slightly secluded place, where everyone was still looking, Yu Heng smiled and said: "Although the Holy Majesty ordered me to take the book to Zhenggong, it was not ordered by the emperor, so I had to go home. There are these books at home. How about going back to the mansion first to wait? I will come when I am young."

Jia Zheng panicked and said, "It's time to become an official and ask for the book ordered by the Holy Majesty."

Looking at the silver thread on Jia Zheng's temples, Yu Heng's eyes flickered, his smile was the same as before, without any domineering arrogance, he said: "The humble house is being repaired, it is very inconvenient, Kuang Zhenggong is an elder, how can I let Zhenggong come to the door in person ? If that’s the case, I’m being presumptuous, so I think it’s settled. According to what I said earlier, Mr. Zheng will go home first and wait.”

Jia Zheng had no choice but to agree and go home first.

Everyone vaguely heard this, and became even more curious.

Yu Qiu's mansion was on the same street as Yu Gong's mansion, and he was walking on the same road. Seeing that everyone hadn't gotten into the sedan chair, he scratched his head and wondered what book Yu Heng was talking about, so he asked with a smile.

Although the three families have been separated, they are connected by broken bones. They have the same surname as Yu. Yu Heng is no longer the cold and icy child he was when he was young. ? It’s just an ordinary book, if uncle is curious, you might as well ask Zhenggong tomorrow.”

After finishing speaking, he clasped his fists to everyone and rode away.

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, but by chance they saw Lin Rui lagging behind leisurely, and someone quickly called to him.Hearing that they said that they had a good relationship with Yu Heng and that he was Yu Heng's brother-in-law, Lin Rui couldn't help but smile when he asked himself to understand, and said, "How can a sage allow a kid to talk nonsense? Just as Mr. Yu said, Let's ask uncle tomorrow."

Seeing him like this, everyone had no choice but to give up.

But when Jia Zheng returned to the mansion, he didn't have time to pay his respects to Jia's mother. He was terrified and fidgeted at home.Jia Zheng had no choice but to report one or two in the past, only saying that Yu Heng sent the book by order, not other things.

When Jia Mu heard the words, she became suspicious and said, "Well, what books did the Holy Majesty ask him to give you? Our family is so rich, is there still a shortage of books? What books do you want? It's not just a word." The thing? The book he sent was not bestowed by the Holy One, so what kind of treasure could it be? What's the meaning?"

At that time, Yuanchun was about to get married, and Yingchun brought Xichun back to the east courtyard early, only Mrs. Wang's mother-in-law and Tanchun Baochai were in front of her. Mrs. Wang said worriedly: "Old lady, could it be that Mr. Yu remembers what happened that day?"

Baochai and Tanchun couldn't help but look at each other, and they also felt this way.Baochai felt very boring because Aunt Xue often told Mrs. Wang that a gold lock with jade would be a good match. However, she is filial in nature, so she often came to flatter Jiamu, while Tanchun thought of herself and Daiyu, Xiang Yun Jie was born in the same year, both of them have families, one is the eldest son of General Wei, who is both talented and beautiful, and the other is Empress Yu's brother, who has already been made a first-class prince, but no one mentions her. Inevitably a little sad.

Now that Jia Zheng said that Yu Heng is coming, both Baochai and Tanchun are afraid of what Mrs. Wang said, so what if they are haggling over every detail?Although the Rongguo Mansion had glory in the past, it was not as good as the uncle of the first-class Principality who is highly valued today.

A trace of worry flashed across Jia's mother's face, and then she said: "My aunt and aunt are both kind people. Earlier, the master went to make amends, and Baoyu has also been taught a lesson. Last time, Brother Rui invited his cousins ​​to drink, but only Baoyu was not invited, and now they have vented their anger, if they hold grudges again, it will be their fault. I don’t know if Gongye Yu really has a book for the master.”

Jia Zheng sighed slightly, that's all he had to do.

A while later, hearing that Yu Heng had arrived, Jia Zheng was so frightened that he rushed out to greet him.

Please go to the front hall, the servant behind Yu Heng ordered a few books, and said: "Mr. Zheng, I have heard about what happened that day. However, Mr. Zheng is upright. He has personally visited the door to apologize to his father-in-law, which shows that Mr. Zheng is a man. Today's saint Asking about it, I also speak well for Mr. Zheng. Naiyun can understand things when he read books, so the sage ordered me to collect books such as the Book of Rites. Rather than talking about Mr. Zheng, I would rather give them to Mr. Ling. After reading more books, Mr. Ling will not have to read them any more. As unscrupulous as before, the words are astonishing, and it is dangerous to cause discord between the two families."

Seeing those books, Jia Zheng blushed with embarrassment.

Although there is more than one book of rites, but taking the book of rites as the head, doesn't it mean that Baoyu behaved rudely?

Jia Zheng hated Baoyu's behavior even more, but he didn't dare to reveal it. He quickly bowed to Yu Heng and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yu, for your kind words. It turned out that the dog was rude and affected the family and my sister's family. Don't worry, Mr. Yu. The next official must give Mr. Yu an explanation."

Yu Heng waved his hand and said: "No need. I said earlier that Mr. Zheng has already punished Mr. Ling. I am here today not to pursue the matter to the end. I just think about the relationship between the family and my father-in-law's family. I can't bear Mr. Zheng to be Mr. Ling. I was tired, so I sent the book here. If I came to the door today, Mr. Zheng punished Mr. Ling and passed it on, wouldn’t it be mine? Would you say that I am cruel and merciless, that I have no tolerance for others?”

Jia Zheng's face was full of cold sweat, he didn't even dare to speak.

Yu Heng looked at him quietly for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Zheng is conscientious and loyal to protect the country. Your Majesty understands very well that there is no need to be so uneasy. I am not here to question Mr. Zheng. I wonder how Mr. Ling is doing? I would like to see him."

After hearing this, Jia Zheng hurriedly ordered someone to call Baoyu over, completely ignoring Baoyu's injury.

Baoyu has been doing well recently, accompanied by Xiren Qingwen and other maids every day, and Baochai Tanchun often comes to visit. He neither has to go to school nor be taught by Yuanchun. It's not good, so as not to see Jia Zheng being persecuted by him.Now he was picking a basket of flowers to make rouge paste, when he heard that Jia Zheng was looking for him, he was frightened out of his wits.

Baoyu didn't dare to disobey, so he sent someone to tell Jia Mu first, then changed his clothes and went to the front hall of Rongxi Hall.

Seeing that Baoyu has a handsome appearance and extraordinary demeanor, her clothes are probably new and she doesn't look luxurious, her every move is very good, and she talks well, she is not like the abrupt and ignorant child in front of Daiyu.Yu Heng suddenly remembered Lin Rui's comment on Baoyu, that he followed the rules in front of outsiders, and everyone praised and liked him, but he was very free and unscrupulous in front of his own people, so he never lost his manners in front of himself, and he was personable and upright A good son in troubled times.

Yu Heng's description is not what Baoyu usually likes. When he finds out that he and Sister Lin are engaged, Baoyu feels a little displeased, but seeing that Jia Zheng is very respectful to him, it is not easy to show it. Please rest assured , standing below.

Yu Heng looked at it for a while, asked a few more words, and smiled at Jia Zheng: "Young Master Ling is really a dragon, a horse, and a phoenix. I am not lying. If you teach me well, the young phoenix will be as good as the old phoenix in the future, and the future will be bright." The limit. This spring, the second master of Shanglian's high school Jinshi is waiting for a vacancy. According to the talent of Lingzi, if he is willing to work hard, I'm afraid it will be better than worse."

When Jia Zheng heard this, he was a little pleasantly surprised, and said hastily, "The dog is so vulgar, I dare not be praised by Mr. Yu."

Yu Heng smiled and said nothing, and immediately took his leave. Jia Zheng sent him out in person and told Baoyu, "Don't move!"

Baoyu's face suddenly changed, and he was afraid, but seeing Jia Zheng came back, he didn't blame himself, but told himself to get up early tomorrow to go to the family school to study, and said that when he came back from work, he would personally ask about homework, Baoyu secretly complained, he was most afraid Seeing Jia Zheng, how about seeing each other every day?It seems that Monkey King has a magic spell on his head.

Jia Zheng glanced at the Book of Rites and other books, and secretly resented Baoyu's ignorance of etiquette. When he saw Baoyu's displeasure on his face, he couldn't help being furious, and sneered, "You don't want to? Why did I raise you, an unworthy bastard? Because of you My brother is gone, everyone dotes on you, look at what you have done? You even cursed your uncle and aunt! Thanks to your kindness, your uncle and aunt did not pursue it very much, otherwise how would I have the face to see them again? It’s not good now Discipline you, I am afraid that you can do things like killing the king and killing the father!"

Baoyu heard this very well, and he had already been beaten, so he dared to refute it, and he promised to do so.Baoyu didn't take this incident to heart before, but after being beaten, and people often whispered in her ears, she knew the severity of it, and regretted it in her heart, she shouldn't have been so abrupt, so Daiyu refused to come to the door again.

Jia Zheng shouted: "What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and take these books back and read them through. I'll test you tomorrow!"

Baoyu looked at the thick stack of books on several piles, and felt a headache, but seeing Jia Zheng's expression, he was very firm, and there was no room for change, so he had to order the servant to carry it back, and after sending it to the room, he went to the Mother Jia greeted her.

When Jia Mu and others heard that Jia Zheng called Baoyu to go over, they were worried. Seeing that Baoyu came back safely, they asked for details before they were relieved.

What happened in the Rongguo Mansion could not be hidden from outsiders, and many people were very curious about Yu Heng's actions, but within a day or two, they knew that Yu Heng came to the door to send books such as the Book of Rites, not accountability, and they couldn't help secretly applauding !

Yu Qiu sighed to Yu Ke: "Heng'er has grown up, who can pick out such a method?"

Yu Ke was also inquiring about this matter. Hearing Yu Qiu's words, he lowered his head and thought about it, his eyes were full of praise, and said: "Heng'er did not bully others, nor did he blame him for being rude. The book of rites, and taking advantage of the power of the sage, this shows that the Jia family did not act properly, and Jia Baoyu was presumptuous. It's a pity that no one in the Jia family wants to get it?"

Yu Qiudao: "If the Jia family could have thought of these things, Jia Zheng would have been promoted long ago, not Yuanwailang. I think Jia Zheng is still secretly glad that Heng'er has no words and kindness and has not pursued Baoyu's fault."

Yu Ke giggled, he admired Lin Ruhai so much.What kind of person is this?Teach one character after another?Previously, Jia Zheng apologized, but the Lin family did not pursue it. They were already broad-minded and generous. If they thought they were weak and could be bullied, then Lin Rui entertained the Jia family's children, but there was no Baoyu. No matter what happens to Baoyu in the future, the Lin family will never help.Now Yu Heng didn't seem to make a move, but when he thought about it carefully, it was better than making a move. He only gave away a book. He obviously said that the Jia family was rude, but outsiders could only say he was good.

When Lin Ruhai heard about it, he smiled lightly, and just let it go. He hasn't taken office yet, so he doesn't know about outside affairs.Only Lin Ruhai knew that after Yu Heng came to the door, with Jia Zheng's temperament, Baoyu must be in dire straits, and outsiders didn't know it.

Baoyu didn't like reading. In the past, when he went to school, he spent three days fishing and two days drying the net. He didn't finish reading the Book of Songs. Later, because of Qin Zhongfang, he went to school for nothing more than romance. When Qin Zhong was beaten and Qin Keqing became seriously ill, he never went to school again. up.He hasn't been to school for so long, his homework has long been left behind, and he hasn't finished reading the Four Books. Jia Zheng made him read them all at once when he and Qin Zhong were in school, so that his husband could explain them to him, but now he is still half a student. He fell back in anger, took the ruler and slapped his palms, and gave him homework.Jia Zheng continued to punish him for failing to finish his homework, adding up every day. Baoyu was in a difficult situation and went unpunished every day.

For Baoyu's study, Yuanchun most agrees with him, and dissuades Jiamu and Mrs. Wang. Baoyu is the only lifeblood in the whole family. If he doesn't make progress, who will support him in the future?And how to honor the ancestors?Because she was justified, and soon she was the princess again. Although Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang felt sorry for Baoyu, they saw Jia Zhengtie.
