Jinyu of the Red Chamber

The Ningguo Mansion hung up the white silk banners and sticks that night, and Lin Ruhai also heard about this on the way back to the mansion, and he felt a lot of emotion. The saddest thing is that a white-haired person gives a black-haired person. He also mentioned it to Jia Min before. However, Rong's daughter-in-law is the most reasonable person, but she doesn't want to leave so early.

Back at the mansion, Lin Ruhai summoned Lin Jinyu as usual, and asked what articles he had made today, but Lin Jinyu took out the post from Ningguo Mansion and said it was handed over at noon.

Lin Ruhai frowned and glanced at the post for a few times, annoyance flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Absurd, extremely absurd."

"Father, don't be upset. The Ningguo Mansion has always acted in a disorderly manner. This is not the first time this kind of confusion has happened. Why bother to get angry with them? After the three times are over, I will take a trip to complete the relationship between relatives. For this kind of thing, my father can't come forward, even Daiyu's daughter's family is extremely unsuitable, so I have to go on this trip by myself, so as not to provoke criticism, saying that my father is now a high-ranking and powerful man, and he has won long live There is no relative affection for the father's favor.

"That's not right, you just have to study at home, and you will have a test in a few days. Where can you go to that kind of place, just send the steward to go there." Don't look at Lin Ruhai as a scholar, wanting to flaunt that he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods In other words, it is related to Lin Jinyu's future, and even Tanhualang has to be careful. Naturally, Jinyu will not go to such unlucky places, so as not to be hit by unclean things.

"I'm afraid it will provoke criticism!" Lin Jinyu said softly. According to the style of Ningguo Mansion, this funeral will only be big or small. He remembered that in the original book, the king of Beijing County seemed to be there, and there was a special road sacrifice. , A colorful shed was set up on the side of the road, a banquet was held, and music was played in harmony, mourning and condolences, and a rosary was also presented to Jia Baoyu.

Lin Ruhai thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and said: "A junior, even if you don't go, they won't say anything. Then the Ningguo Mansion is so flamboyant, you must be criticized by others. You will take the exam soon. When people see you I ran to the Ningguo Mansion, fearing that some villainous guy would tell you that you are a good-for-nothing to curry favor with, and you would make a joke of some scholars who don’t know the inside story.” Lin Ruhai knows how important a literati’s reputation is, and if a literati insults his reputation, he will With more than half of his future gone, he naturally couldn't let Jinyu's reputation be damaged in the slightest.

"Since that's the case, let Butler Lin take a trip!" Lin Jinyu had never experienced this before, lacked experience, and didn't think about things thoroughly enough for Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai nodded, that's all for Ningguo Mansion.

Although the Lin Mansion only sent Butler Lin to the Ningguo Mansion, it couldn't stop the rumors from spreading to Lin Ruhai's ears. Although Jia Min had passed away, in the eyes of others, Lin Ruhai and Jia's family were still related by marriage. Some rumors Naturally, he would talk and listen to Lin Ruhai.

"It's a big joke in the world, just push the posts in Ningguo Mansion in the future, don't let them dirty our Lin family." Lin Ruhai lost his temper in a rare way, which surprised Lin Jinyu and Lin Daiyu, because In their eyes, Lin Ruhai is definitely a loving father, and even more so, a gentle and refined person. Not to mention losing his temper, it is very rare for him to scold his servants one or two times.

"Father, what's the matter? But what happened in the court related to Ningguo Mansion?" Lin Jinyu's first reaction was that someone in the court read the book of Ningguo Mansion.

Lin Ruhai had a bit of anger on his face: "The funeral of the wife of a Wupinlong Forbidden Captain is so ostentatious. Everyone in the Second Mansion wears sackcloth and filial piety. If you don't know who you think is dead! This kind of relative in our Lin Mansion You can't afford it, and you are not allowed to walk around with the Ningguo Mansion in the future, so as not to tire your reputation." The more Lin Ruhai thought about it, the more angry he became, and he knew that the Ningguo Mansion was out of place in the past, but he didn't want it to be so absurd. The people in Labor Second Mansion wear hemp and filial piety. In the early court today, he and Wang Ziteng were ridiculed severely, and they almost pointed at his nose and said, let's see what kind of relatives you have cultivated. .

"Father, don't be upset. The Ningguo Mansion has nothing to do with us. Even if it's ridiculous, people will only call him the Ningguo Mansion." Lin Daiyu persuaded softly, handed a cup to Lin Ruhai's hand, and made a gesture to Lin Jinyu A wink.

Lin Jinyu chuckled, and echoed Lin Daiyu's words: "What my sister said is very true, why should father be annoyed by such a thing! I came back from my husband today, and I heard that Rong's daughter-in-law went to the funeral. The king of Beijing County came to the scene." Until now Lin Jinyu didn't understand what the king of Beijing County was thinking. You said that a king with a foreign surname was guarding your one-acre three-point land restlessly. It's okay to flaunt your feelings. I'm afraid that Long Live Lord won't think about you. , I have seen someone looking for death, but I have never seen someone so anxious to find their own death.

"You know everything about it." Lin Ruhai snorted softly, "What do you think about this matter?"

Lin Jinyu smiled: "I heard that the Beijing Palace and the Jia family are family friends. I think this time I came here to mourn in person because of affection. No wonder everyone said that the King of Beijing is a virtuous and virtuous king!"

"The virtuous king?" Lin Ruhai smiled faintly, glanced at Lin Jinyu, and asked, "Do you think the king of Beijing County is the virtuous king?"

Lin Jinyu raised his eyebrows: "If Lord Long Live said that the king of Beijing County is a virtuous king, he would certainly be, and the reputation of this virtuous king can only be praised by Lord Long Live."

Lin Ruhai twitched his mouth and nodded: "Yes, you must remember to think what the Lord Long Live thinks in order to gain a firm foothold in the court. The false names around him are all empty talk. There are virtuous taboos, but you are different from him, a minister must be a capable minister in the eyes of the sage, and a worthy minister in the eyes of the common people."

"My child will always remember my father's teachings." Lin Jinyu said respectfully, every word of Lin Ruhai has a deep meaning, he has been an official for many years, so naturally he cannot compare with his own words on paper.

Lin Ruhai is very satisfied with Lin Jinyu's teaching. If a person can't listen to other people's advice, even if he has great talent, it is difficult to achieve great things. What's more, talented people are not necessarily capable. Although Long Live today pays attention to talented people , but they pay more attention to a person's ability. Jinyu has not yet been tempered. In a few years, it is by no means comparable to the past.

Because of Lin Jinyu's teaching, Lin Ruhai's mood improved a bit, and he turned to look at Lin Daiyu, and asked carefully: "Is it smooth to manage the affairs of the house these days? If you have anything to do, just tell the woman in charge, don't you?" You have to do everything yourself, and besides, can you take the bird’s nest every day? Although the weather is getting warmer now, you have always been afraid of the cold, so you must not stop those medicines.”

"Father, don't worry about me. You just need to take good care of my elder brother. My elder brother is about to take part in the test. Wouldn't it be enviable to win the first prize in one fell swoop and shine on my Lin family?" Lin Daiyu said with a light smile, shaking her head slightly. On the side, the charming little face showed two delicate dimples because of the smile, which is very cute.

Seeing Daiyu's innocent smile, Lin Ruhai couldn't help sighing, Yu'er is going to grow up next year, even if he wants to stay and can stay for a few years, if he is strict with Jinyu because of his high expectations, that's a big deal for his sons and daughters. Yu'er is extremely spoiled, afraid that she will be wronged a little, but after marrying a woman, how should he protect this spoiled and grown-up daughter?When Lin Ruhai thought about Lin Daiyu's destination in the future, he frowned slightly, not knowing what kind of husband-in-law he should choose for her, in his eyes, no man in the world was worthy of his ice-snow and intelligent daughter.

"Why is father sighing?" Lin Daiyu asked puzzled, thinking, could it be that her father was worried that her brother would not be able to win the championship in one fell swoop?In her opinion, her father was completely unfounded. According to her brother's talent, he would definitely be named on the gold list. It must be said that Lin Daiyu had great confidence in Lin Jinyu. In her mind, no man in the world could match Lin Jinyu.

"It's nothing, it's just a little emotional." It was about Lin Daiyu's marriage, and Lin Ruhai couldn't bring it up in front of Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu raised her red lips slightly, and said with a smile: "Father, don't bully me, you are just worried about my brother! From what I can see, my father doesn't have to worry about it. My brother has studied hard for many years, and he has also worshiped a great contemporary Confucian as a teacher. Definitely going to high school."

"You have great confidence in Jinyu." Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows.

Lin Daiyu nodded, and said solemnly: "My brother's talent is needless to say. In the past, my father always praised my brother's intelligence! Besides, my brother has the talent of never forgetting since he was a child, and he is also a young man who is well-known in the south of the Yangtze River. Xie Yuan, if it wasn't for my father's worry that my elder brother would be affected by his reputation if he entered the officialdom too early, my elder brother would never have won the gold medal." Although Lin Daiyu is a daughter raised in her boudoir, Lin Ruhai and Lin Jinyu have never liked to be restrained by her. Naive, but extraordinary knowledge.

Lin Ruhai nodded, and said to Lin Jinyu: "Your sister knows the truth, and you also understand it if you think about it. I told you these words a long time ago, and I won't repeat them now. Don't try too hard this time. Burden, if the grades are not good, you will study hard for six years, you are still young, and you can wait for six years." Lin Ruhai actually wanted to motivate Lin Jinyu with those who had studied hard for decades but failed to pass the exam. He thought, forget it, although he admired those people's perseverance, he didn't want Jinyu to be like them. In the end, he was just an ordinary father, and it was his wish to have his son become a dragon.

"Yes, father." Lin Jinyu replied, with a very humble smile, but the ambition and self-confidence in his eyes could not be concealed, because he was bound to win the title of No. He waited too long.
