Survive in the world of Red Mansions

Although they have only been married for more than a year, and no one in the Lin family has mentioned the matter of the child, Princess Zhongshun and Li Jingya have already begun to feel a little anxious about the matter of the child.

Lin Rui naturally didn't know about the entanglement between Li Jingya and the princess. The two had only been married for more than a year. In addition, he and the princess were both young, so he would never think about children, so naturally he would not Thinking of Li Jingya, she was already a little anxious about the child.

Since Lin Rui entered the Hanlin Academy, it can be regarded as a progressive step into the official career. Even if Lin Rui is satisfied with Li Jingya's wife, he doesn't have that much time. He spends his energy on talking with the little princess every day, and more It's about focusing on your own business.

Lin Rui doesn't put more energy into the inner house now. Apart from going to the Hanlin Academy every day, another reason is that Lin Hai has already started to slowly hand over many things that he has in hand to him.

As the Lin family that has been passed down for a hundred years, even though the Lin family has always been conservative, after years of development, there are many forces in various places, and after Lin Hai's arrival, the dark forces have developed and expanded a lot. For generations, some business in the dark, these are all for Lin Rui.

Lin Hai knew very well that his age was too different from that of his son Lin Rui. Now when he was still around, he could certainly take good care of his son, but one day after he left, if these dark forces were well utilized, they would be A powerful help in the hands of the son.But if his son can't control these people, and can't suppress them, something will happen sooner or later, so starting from this year, Lin Hai will slowly hand over part of his power to Lin Rui, with him watching, I believe Lin Rui can manage those people well.

If there were no accidents or invitations from friends every day, Lin Hai, Lin Rui and his son would return home at about the same time after they were released from office.The first thing Lin Rui does when he returns to the mansion every day is to start practicing martial arts. Now Lin Hai is more practicing Tai Chi, Wu Qin Xi and so on, and most of them are some fitness and maintenance exercises.

Although she has married into the Lin family, Li Jingya and Lin Hai don't have many chances to meet each other, and naturally it is even more impossible to sit at the same table for dinner.This society is such a custom. It is unimaginable for a daughter-in-law and father-in-law to sit at the same table to eat.

Although Lin Rui prefers the family to sit at the same table to eat, but he will not risk the world in order to stick to his point of view, forcing three people to sit together for dinner, so it leads to, Lin Rui When Rui eats at home, he either eats with his father, Lin Hai, or with his daughter-in-law. In short, he rarely has the opportunity to eat alone.During a meal, Lin Rui joked with his father, Lin Hai, how sometimes he felt that he was becoming more and more "accompanied".

On this day, after Lin Rui and Lin Hai had dinner together, when his father and his father went to the garden to digest food, Lin Rui remembered yesterday's holiday. Regarding the request, it is inevitable to gossip about Lin Hai.

"Father, I went to see Lin Ran yesterday, and he told me something," Lin Rui said, looking at Lin Hai, before he could continue, Lin Hai frowned, "Lin Ran ? Didn’t I tell you not to meet them easily? Even if someone with a heart does their best to investigate, at most they can only find out that Lin Ran and the housekeeper are a little distant relative, but if you let others see that you are close to Lin Ran, others will inevitably Think about it."

"Don't worry, I know all about it! Yesterday I went horse racing in the suburbs, and on the way back to the city, I ran into Lin Ran and said a few words when I was sitting in a small teahouse by the side of the road. Lin Ran begged me to agree with him and Jiang Guixiang. Marriage. Father, you should also know about this matter. There were some signs two years ago, but Jiang Guixiang never agreed at that time. Now Jiang Guixiang finally let go, so Lin Ran came to beg me to agree to this matter I thought it was a good thing and agreed."

When Lin Hai heard Lin Rui say this, he didn't know what to think, and smiled all over his face, "I thought these two people would continue to be so ambiguous, Jiang Guixiang must be in her thirties, Lin Ran is not young, these two people , Hehe, it's quite interesting!"

"Yes, if you can't be a young couple, it would be nice to be able to accompany you when you grow old! Although Jiang Guixiang had no choice but to enter Bao's house as a concubine, Jiang Guixiang herself still minded this, because she was afraid that because of her own experience, she would be forced to be a concubine. Her younger brother was laughed at, but few people knew what happened to her back then, but Jiang Guixiang still did not live with her younger brother after she got married. Instead, she came back alone, back to the village where she lived before, Helping train some people, except for her concern for the only younger brother, she really doesn't have much concern for herself, especially for Lin Ran, who was raised by the Lin family since childhood, and after so many years, it can be seen that she is indeed loyal to our Lin family , I haven't gotten married for so many years, and naturally I don't have any children, since he's looking for Jiang Guixiang now, I don't think there's any harm in fulfilling him?"

"You can make up your own mind. When they get married, give them a congratulatory gift. Whether it's Lin Ran or Jiang Guixiang, they have helped us a lot. I hope they will continue to do this in the future. You can take care of it yourself." that is."

"Yeah. I know!"

"You have been in the Imperial Academy for more than half a year, how do you feel? Do you want to stay in the Imperial Academy, or change places?"

Hearing Lin Hai's question, Lin Rui thought for a while before answering, "That's it for now, I think you can still learn a lot in the Imperial Academy

, even if I want to go to other departments, it will take another year or two.In the past half a year, I happened to get acquainted with those people in the Imperial Academy, and I gradually began to know about the more secretive things. It is a pity to leave like this at this time.Besides, the news of the Hanlin Academy is the most well-informed. Although there are not many people in the entire Imperial Academy who are eligible to go to court, except for the cabinet, the Hanlin Academy may be the most well-informed and the most timely in the entire court. I am here Learn more, it will be beneficial in the future. "

Lin Hai nodded, "I know this too, just because I'm afraid that you might be a little anxious, flipping through those documents and materials every day, and staying with these official documents. Now you can think like this. After entering the Hanlin Academy, how are the other two doing now?"

"The other two are pretty good now! Fang Heling is just in his early twenties. Although the Fang family has fallen, it can be seen that this number one scholar has never suffered at home before, and maybe because of his good studies, Among the cousins, nephews, and nephews, he is definitely the object of envy and envy. Also because of his outstanding studies, he was definitely brought up amidst the boasting of the elders in the family. It is no wonder that after he won the number one prize, He is quite proud of himself, even after entering the Imperial Academy, he is also proud. But the reality is cruel, once every three years, plus Enke, there are too many experts in the Imperial Academy, and he is really nothing to be proud of as a champion.

However, Fang Helin soon realized his mistake and adjusted in time. It is no wonder that the people of the Fang family pinned their hopes on Fang Helin.Now Fang Helin's life in the Imperial Academy is much easier, at least not like at the beginning, because of his own reasons, others rejected him, and they wanted to take a detour when they saw him. I guess, the older generation of the Fang family There is still some relationship. Even if Fang's elders lost because of the battle for the heirloom, there are still many friends from the same year. Just help. "

"Ruirui, do you have a good impression of the champion? What about the second place?" Lin Hai looked at Lin Rui and said with a smile, it seems that his son's influence on the champion is really good, otherwise he wouldn't have said so much.

"Xiao Zongbo is already in his early thirties, so it is impossible to be like Fang Helin, he is very good at being a man, but even so, I still think that this Xiao Zongbo is not suitable for too deep friendship, he is too shrewd inside, and fortunately he is I'm old, I know how to cover up, so I'm doing pretty well in the Imperial Academy right now!"

When Lin Hai heard Lin Rui say this, he couldn't help turning his head to look at him a few times. He should really feel relieved that his son has such a good understanding of people.Lin Hai also met Xiao Zongbo once. Not long after the palace examination, Xiao Zongbo and Fang Helin came to the Lin Mansion to pay a visit to Lin Rui.Since the elder Lin Hai is also in the mansion, he must meet him. Just this time, Lin Hai can feel that although Xiao Zongbo looks like a book on the outside, it is easy to give people a good impression, but he Lin Hai can still feel his disposition, but he didn't specifically remind him, what to say, Lin Rui always needs to have his own ability to identify, and he will meet more people or things in the future, it is impossible to You can have yourself as a father to make a point.

Now I have myself watching from the side, even if this Xiao Zongbo has other thoughts, with myself protecting him, can't he still protect him?More importantly, Lin Rui must be allowed to have problems and solve them slowly. Only in this way, even if he leaves one day, he can live well in this world and protect himself well.

Lin Rui followed Lin Hai to the study room again, and after sorting out the materials collected from outside like Lin Ran and the others, some particularly important ones were rewritten in pinyin or English, and all the others were destroyed.Since Lin Hai came here, Lin Hai has kept some important news in this way, and now Lin Rui has also continued the previous method, in case someone peeps at it.

After getting married, Lin Rui would not put some of the more important materials in his study, and moved them all to Lin Hai's side.Although I also know that Li Jingya will not go to her study for no reason to look through her own things, and after getting married, she will immediately hand over the Lin family to her, but for a person who has just lived together and was born in the royal family, It was really difficult for Lin Rui to trust her wholeheartedly.

In this world, maybe he can't trust anyone except Lin Hai, his father, even Lin Daiyu. For Lin Daiyu, he can dote on her like a sister or a daughter, but even so, if he can get him The only one who fully trusts her is her father, Lin Hai!

After Lin Rui was busy in Lin Hai's study for a while, it seemed that it was almost time for bedtime, so he returned to Runzeyuan.Entering the room, I saw the big maid Ruyi holding an account book, saying something to Li Jingya, seeing Lin Rui coming in, Ruyi took the account book, bowed her knees to salute Lin Rui, and then withdrew.

"Why don't you take a rest earlier, are you still busy so late?" Lin Rui asked while taking off his coat.

"I'm not sleepy, I'm just idle, and I have something to talk to you about." Lin Rui couldn't help but look at Li Jingya, motioning for her to continue, "Today, the Jia family sent an invitation, November [-] On the sixth day, the fourth daughter of the Jia family got married."

"The fourth girl from the Jia family? Xichun? Who is she married to?" Lin Rui was really surprised when he heard the news. He thought that this little girl would become a nun one day!

"I heard that he is a scholar, and he is not bad."

As soon as Li Jingya heard Lin Rui's name, she said Xichun's name, and she seemed to be a little excited. What, probably just a little surprised that the fourth daughter of the Jia family got married? !

"Ji Cai can be regarded as having some fame. As long as the man is good, other things don't matter. If you go to add makeup in person, among other things, you will also be sealed with a silver ticket of 1000 taels and handed over to Cousin Xichun in person. Apart from entering the palace, the grandfather's family My eldest cousin never paid much attention to the other cousins, and the dowry was too thin, not to mention now, when my cousin Yingchun got married a few years ago, my father told my sister that when every cousin got married, except In addition to the make-up ceremony, there is an additional 1000 taels of silver, I hope it will be of some use to them."

After Lin Rui finished speaking, seeing Li Jingya still standing aside, he couldn't help laughing, "Jingya, why are you standing there so stupidly, it's time to go to bed!" He hugged Li Jingya and walked towards the bed.
