The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

Lin Yao felt a little embarrassed when she heard the words. She cleared her throat, realized the point, her eyes lit up, and said, "Master, have you checked out Mr. Jia's details?"

If he hadn't known Jia Yucun's true face, how could Lin Ruhai say that he was of poor character?

Lin Ruhai told Lin Yao the news that Xu Zhang had brought back, and then sighed, "I was almost deceived by the way he pretended."

"So, it's thanks to Yinglian. If it hadn't happened to her, Jia Yucun would probably bite me back in the future." Lin Yao said with a thought.

Lin Ruhai frowned, "If you have anything to say, just say it straight, we are all in the same family, so there is no need to beat around the bush."

"Ahem," Lin Yao's careful thoughts are not hidden, and it's not unusual for Lin Ruhai to see them. He scratched his head and said, "Yinglian was originally the daughter of an eunuch, and now she has nowhere to go. I really want to leave her behind." I felt very sorry to come down to be a maid. I promised to send her home. What is it to keep her as a maid? But now there is no one in the Zhen family, let alone Yinglian’s grandparent’s house. Even if there is an uncle there , but they have never seen her before, and if they want them to adopt Yinglian, even if they are forced to compromise by the forces of the Lin family, they will probably not treat Yinglian kindly."

"You're right to think about it, but Yinglian is not from my Lin family's blood. Saving her is the utmost righteousness. It is against the rules to keep her in the Lin family for no reason." Lin Ruhai knew that his son had a kind heart, but there was a limit to helping others. Rescuing her from the kidnapper's hand is already the best of humanity, and I want to help her more, but it's over.

Lin Yao was not annoyed when she heard the words, he had long understood that Yinglian could not stay in the Lin family with no name or title, she was not relative or relative, why did the Lin family raise the orphan girl for the Zhen family?

That's not what good people do.

Lin Yao didn't intend to raise Zhen Yinglian in the Lin family either.

It's just that Zhen Yinglian has no relatives, no reason, and no one to rely on, so if she is kicked out of the Lin family like this, she will definitely not end well.

Lin Yao couldn't do such a thing that forced people to die.

"I don't want to raise her in the Lin family like this. What my son means is that since Yinglian was originally the daughter of an eunuch, it would be good to stay with Yu'er and sit with her as a companion." This idea was just Lin Yao's improvisation, but he I think this suggestion is feasible, "Father intends to let me study in the academy run by Mr. Qin, Mr. Jia must be dismissed here, and my sister will be lonely studying alone here, so it is better to leave Yinglian to study with my sister. a companion."

"You have a kind heart." Lin Ruhai sighed.

Lin Yao was a little embarrassed, "I also think that Yinglian is helpless, young, and unable to earn money to support herself, so if she is allowed to leave the Lin residence, once she meets a villain with her beauty, her fate will be no worse than being sold by a kidnapper How much stronger, since the son saved her, he can't push her into another fire pit, right?"

So is this saving lives, or harming them?

"Okay, okay, you don't have to persuade me, I didn't intend to drive that girl away, but you said a lot of good things," Lin Ruhai said helplessly, "I can know the true face of Jia Yucun, thanks to Yinglian This girl, whether she can stay or not depends on Yinglian herself. If she decides to stay, my family will have a great career, and we don’t need a bowl of food for her. But if she wants to go back to her hometown, we have no right to force her to stay. .”

Lin Yao was startled when he heard this, he had always wanted to help Yinglian, so after finding out that Yinglian's parents had passed away, he thought about how to properly settle Yinglian, but never thought of asking Yinglian what she thought.

If she insists on going back to her hometown, he has no right to keep her even if it is for her own good.

Thinking of this, Lin Yao cupped her hands and bowed, "My son is taught."

It is not for the benefit of others that you can make decisions for others. He understood this truth today.

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "It's good that you can figure it out. I will take care of Yinglian's matter. Don't feel pressured."

"Yes, sir."

Lin Yao didn't stay with Lin Ruhai for long, she came out of the study, went to the inner room to talk with Jia Min for a while, and then went back to the East courtyard.

Two days later, Lin Yao heard that Jia Yucun was invited to the study by the master. Somehow, Xu Zhang paid Jia Yucun 100 taels of silver from the account room, and Jia Yucun moved out of Lin's mansion that day.

Lin Yao knew that the master had taken care of the academy's affairs, so she came to 'have to' dismiss Jia Yucun.

Compared with Qin Fu, the elder of the three dynasties, the chief assistant who begged for bones, and the great Confucian of the day, Mr. Qin Fu, Jia Yucun naturally didn't even count as a fart.

Jia Yucun didn't feel resentful because of this.

After dismissing Jia Yucun, old Mr. Qin wanted to set up an academy in Yangzhou, and it quickly spread in the city, and basically everyone with a reputation knew about it.

Three or five days later, the exact news came from the Qin family.

The head of the academy is not Mr. Qin, but Mr. Qin's youngest son, Qin Yuxing.

Qin Yuxing and Lin Ruhai were old acquaintances, they took part in the palace examination in the same year, Qin Yuxing was the number one scholar in that subject, while Lin Ruhai was selected as Tanhua.

Both of them took part in the palace examination a few years late due to the death of their loved ones.

Lin Ruhai and Qin Yuxing have known each other for more than ten years, and they know each other well. At that time, they even said that they wanted to get married. Unexpectedly, Qin Yuxing's children came one after another, but Lin Ruhai only got one daughter after nearly 20 years of marriage. At that time, Qin Yuxing's sons had already married wives and had children. Now, the second son has also reached the age of engagement, and even the youngest daughter is nine years older than Daiyu.

Therefore, the idea of ​​​​sons and daughters in-laws is completely ruined.

However, this does not affect the relationship between the two.

Lin Ruhai came to Qin Yuxing and proposed to send his son to study in his academy. Of course, Qin Yuxing would not refuse, but he also knew that Lin Ruhai's parent and son died young, and the current son was adopted.

"I can make you run around so much. It looks like this kid is very good. When will you bring me to see?" Qin Yuxing is already thirty-seven this year, and even his grandson is one year old, but he doesn't grow a beard, so He looked very young, like a handsome guy in his early twenties.

Lin Ruhai is obviously only three or four years older than Qin Yuxing, but sitting together, he looks like Qin Yuxing's father.

"You are all grandfathers, and you still love Jun, so you are not afraid that your younger siblings will laugh at you?" Lin Ruhai looked at the old friend's state, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Qin Yuxing laughed, "Could it be that you grow a beard like you and look like a grandfather?"

Lin Ruhai's face turned black from being stunned, "Qin Yuxing!"

"Okay, okay, I invited you here today, not because of a fight, come, come, sit down and have a cup of tea, clear the fire, we haven't seen each other for a long time, today we have to catch up on the old days." Qin Yuxing Seeing that Lin Ruhai was annoyed, he immediately bowed his head to beg for mercy, coaxing Lin Ruhai to sit down, but Lin Ruhai was just pretending, not really angry, Qin Yuxing bowed his head, and he sat down as told.

"Brother Ruhai, I just arrived in Yangzhou, but I heard about the heroic deeds of your good son who rescued the beauty in the street a few days ago. If I remember correctly, he is only seven years old this year, right? At such a young age, it is really true What a good seedling." Qin Yuxing teased.
