[Red Mansions] Dependents

But after the dangerous first three months, Yaxin started to get busy again. Was it because she was sent to the palace to accompany the queen, and then every time she came back, she brought a bunch of rewards? People thought that even the queen asked Yaxin for advice on giving birth, so there must be something special about it. Would the daughter-in-law also bring her to visit and ask for advice when she is pregnant?And by the way, you can also set up friendship, but the family is in full bloom.

Because of this, Yaxin became even busier, and had to deal with some inexplicable people from time to time, and she always came to the door without first handing over a greeting card with pregnant women. Feeling unreasonable, Yaxin finally came up with a way to write down the things she paid attention to. Anyway, it's not worth keeping secret. Then if someone asks for a meeting about pregnancy, she can directly give them a piece of paper, which saves the time. A waste of tongue for himself and those troublesome women.

"Yu'er, your sister-in-law is so interesting, you actually came up with such a method." Lin Ruhai smiled and talked to Daiyu about two or three things that happened in the capital these days. The biggest topic revolved around Ningguo Mansion, especially Ningguo. Mrs. Fu Guogong is generous and doesn't hide her secrets. As long as there is a pregnant woman in the family, the concierge will give you a piece of paper without hesitation.

Daiyu said with a look of admiration: "It's natural, sister-in-law is amazing, Daddy, you don't know..." Then Daiyu told Lin Ruhai about her experience in Jia's mansion during this time, and inside The one who appeared the most was Yaxin. Speaking of Yaxin, Daiyu always expressed her admiration, which made Lin Ruhai, who was only admiring and grateful for Yaxin, aroused a trace of curiosity.

"It's a pity!" Lin Ruhai sighed after hearing Daiyu's story.

Daiyu was puzzled for a while, and then after comprehending the meaning of Lin Ruhai's words, she also said with emotion: "It's really a pity that I suffered and suffered in that mansion, but I couldn't leave that house. My sister-in-law actually wanted to leave very much. I just can't let Rong'er and the others go. The time when Big Brother Zhen was instigated by his new wife to divorce her, and that time when Xi'er was severely beaten by Big Brother Zhen, she didn't make up her mind to leave. I really feel sorry for us juniors."

"Oh? What else?" Lin Ruhai asked.

"Of course, this matter spread between the two houses later. At that time, I went to the Ningguo Mansion to see Xi'er. She was covered in scars and had been recuperating for a long time. Xi'er is also pitiful, but there is a brother who is like this. Virtue is not as good as that of the Xue family, although the son of the Xue family says he is absurd, he treats Miss Xue very well." Daiyu said, thinking that if I have a brother like me, it would be better not to have them.

Lin Ruhai suddenly thought that Daiyu only mentioned people from the Ningguo Mansion, and seemed to seldom mention girls from the Rongguo Mansion. The days are longer, why didn't I hear you talk about the matter over there, how are you getting along with the girl from Rongguo Mansion?"

Daiyu pouted and said, "Yu'er doesn't like Rongguo Mansion."

"Why?" It was rare to hear Daiyu bluntly say that she didn't like it. It seemed that the Rongguo Mansion really let her down.

Daiyu was afraid that Lin Ruhai would blame herself if she found out that she was not feeling well, so she only picked some unimportant things and said: "Second sister is cowardly, don't socialize with people, every time we meet, I don't know what to do except play chess, second sister rarely talks Yes. The third younger sister is cheerful, but she is too shrewd most of the time, and there is always a feeling of flattery inside and outside the words. Yuer doesn't like it. But the Shijia girl can get along better. I know why after Miss Xue came, she stayed away from Yu'er, and often targeted Yu'er. Miss Xue was praised by the whole family, but Yu'er didn't feel it, so she stayed away from her." After finishing speaking, Daiyu glanced at Lin Ruhai's face, but luckily it wasn't too bad, "But these are not important, Yu'er lives in Rongguo Mansion for a few days, sister-in-law will bring Xi'er to see Yu'er, and sometimes leave Xi'er to accompany Yu'er , Sometimes I told the old lady to pick up Yu'er, but Yu'er lived a leisurely life, all things were arranged by sister-in-law, and every time Rong'er went to do business, sister-in-law would tell him to buy some gadgets, but Yu'er I got a lot of good things." Daiyu said with a slightly smug look.

Lin Ruhai remained silent, rubbing Daiyu's hair, and took it with a smile.

After a while, Lin Ruhai said to Daiyu: "Daddy will be busy with the imperial examinations in a few days, but he won't be at home for a while, so Daddy doesn't feel at ease if you are alone at home. Since you are good with your sister-in-law and the others, Daddy Let them take care of you, so that your grandmother and the others will not pester you when your father is away."

"Daddy, is this okay? Will people outside say anything?" Daiyu asked worriedly.

Lin Ruhai didn't care: "What outsiders say is what they say, we are doing well and sitting upright, and we are not afraid of what others will say."

"Yeah. Then Yu'er will just listen to her father's arrangement." After hearing what Lin Ruhai said, Daiyu stopped worrying.

The imperial examination was over, and Lin Ruhai went back to the mansion, but Daiyu had already returned to the Lin family, and there were two girls beside her, who were Miaoyu and Xichun whom she met in Ningguo Mansion that day.

It's not good for Lin Ruhai to stay with a man, he just met him in a hurry, but he can still tell that Xichun and Miaoyu are both good, and it's because of Daiyu that Lin Ruhai has a good impression of them. Let's take a closer look today It is even more rare.

Unfortunately, the candidates all stayed in the capital because they were waiting for the imperial examinations to be accepted, so they came to the Lin Mansion to visit their mentors together while they were free. Most of them are children of scholarly families, but there are only one or two of those poor families.

Lin Ruhai understood as soon as she thought about it. These are full of confidence. Although she doesn't know the ranking, she will definitely be on the list. Those who didn't come are probably still thinking about whether they can be on the list. Thinking of oneself, or because one already thinks highly of one's own self.

But this is also just right, and it also saves me a lot of effort to find a needle in a haystack to help Yaxin choose a good candidate from such a large number of candidates.

"Students have met their teacher." When the disciples present saw Lin Ruhai coming in, they quickly got up and bowed their hands.

Lin Ruhai laughed loudly and said: "There is no need to be too polite. There are still a lot of people here." Lin Ruhai looked around, and many of them were the sons of family friends. He nodded in satisfaction, which is very good.

"Why didn't you come back after taking the exam for a few days?" Lin Ruhai asked.

"We rested for a night and our spirits have improved a lot. We went out to meet and drink a few days ago, thinking that we would visit our teacher in the future, so we invited us here, but it disturbed our teacher." Jinyi Juzi, who was sitting at the top Said.

Lin Ruhai heard the words and said: "Mo Yang, you have always gotten along with Xuan Yi and Jing Yu, why did the three of you make a lot of friends during this scientific examination?"

"The teacher is a joke student. We only knew this time the scientific examination is really a big world. But we are like frogs at the bottom of a well, arrogant and arrogant." The three people who were named were embarrassed, stood up and clapped their hands and explained to Lin Ruhai.

Speaking of which, Lin Ruhai's contacts are quite extensive. At least none of the officials in the capital knew of Lin Ruhai, and which scholarly family had no friendship with Lin Ruhai. Let's just say that these three people, Wei Moyang, should know that this is Wei Moyang just by looking at their surnames. The son of the prime minister, his elder sister is the mother of a country; besides Tang Xuanyi, no one in his family is an official now, but his grandfather was a tutor and taught the emperor, and there are many disciples in the court, such as Lin Ruhai He was the chief examiner of the imperial examination that year, and his father had no intention of fighting in the officialdom, so he opened an academy to teach and educate people, and he taught many officials. No one in the capital would give him some face; and Geng Jingyu, This is really a scholarly family. From the founding of the country to the present, everyone in this family has read poetry and books. The ancestors of the family have taught that all descendants of the Geng family must be literate. , even a daughter-in-law who has been married is best to have read some books. If she hasn't read it, she should learn it after she gets married. Although this ancestral precept is somewhat difficult, it is not unreasonable. After all, only reading can make sense. How many scholarly families were finally destroyed in the hands of illiterate and unreasonable "loving mothers".These three people have always been perfunctory to everyone except each other in the capital. They are very disdainful to those self-righteous dudes, but Lin Ruhai was very popular in the capital, and all scholars know this name. The three of them were naturally curious, having visited Lin Ruhai several times, they admired Lin Ruhai's knowledge very much.

From Lin Ruhai's point of view, these three people will definitely win the imperial examination this time.

"Haha... just understand." Lin Ruhai said again: "Look at this old man, these old men don't even know each other yet."

After Lin Ruhai said this, the subordinates began to introduce themselves one after another.

"It seems that there are quite a few of my husband's family." Hearing that there are several people surnamed Lin, Lin Ruhai said this without paying much attention.But Mo Yang said: "The mentor not only has his own family, but also his fellow countrymen."

Lin Ruhai became curious. This fellow from the same village is a member of the same clan: "Oh? Who is it?" You must know that only one branch of the Lin family in Gusu is prosperous, and the rest of the clan are declining and unpromising children. One of the reasons why Lin Ruhai didn't have a son but didn't want to choose a stepson from the clan.

Sitting in an inconspicuous place at the end, a plainly dressed man stood up and said, "It's a student."

"Which branch are you from? Why haven't you heard from the clan that someone from the clan has come to Beijing?" Lin Ruhai didn't believe that some people from the clan came to take the imperial examination and didn't inform him to take care of him. Many people have asked him to take care of them over the years.

The man replied respectfully: "Student Lin Yu, his father is named Yuan. This time the student did not tell the family when he came to Beijing, so they don't know about it."

As soon as Lin Ruhai heard it, he understood that Lin Yuan knew about it. He was the grandson of his third uncle and had two sons. Unfortunately, the husband and wife both passed away early. The eldest brother and sister-in-law wanted to separate because they were afraid that the younger brother would be burdensome. But it has been passed around for a while, and Lin Yu is probably the young one.

"Since you're in Beijing, why don't you come to see me?" Lin Ruhai asked.

Lin Yu said: "I have been helped by my mentor for many years when studying in the family college, and the students still have some silver in their hands, so they dare not disturb the mentor."

Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Yu and nodded in satisfaction, it seemed that he was a repayer.
