The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

"Know it's wrong?" Jia Min pretended to be angry and poked Lin Yao's forehead with his index finger, "Are you fooling a ghost?"

Lin Yao didn't dare to say anything.

"You are so smart at reading, why can't you please girls? You haven't even written a letter for a whole year, what does Laner think? You are about to get married. Is it possible that you will have to wait for me this day?" Did your parents help you?"

In the past, Jia Min thought that this son was good everywhere, but at the moment of marriage, there were such problems that should not have arisen. Jia Min felt that he had a terrible headache. Could it be that she wanted her to teach his son how to coax a girl?

Jia Min's words were direct enough that Lin Yao suddenly realized.

After understanding the reason, Lin Yao was also helpless.

The main reason is that Gu Fulan is too young, he really can't develop any affection between men and women. He stayed in the capital last year and tried hard to cultivate the relationship, but when he saw Gu Fulan's immature face, he felt embarrassed and felt like he was born A little bit of thought is like a beast.

He went to Yangzhou to study, somewhat evasive, so naturally he would not think of writing a letter to Gu Fulan.

Anyway, he was still in the wrong, so Jia Min reprimanded him.

In the end, it was Lin Ruhai who came forward to smooth things over, and Jia Min let Lin Yao go.

"Yao'er, wait for me in the study, I have something to tell you." Lin Ruhai also felt that his son was too stupid in terms of emotions, who made him a father?What should be taught has to be taught, otherwise Lin Ruhai will lose face to the Gu family, and Lin Ruhai will not have the face to see his old friends.

Lin Yao let out a groan, got up to leave, and went to the study to wait for Lin Ruhai.

Jia Min also sent Daiyu away, and only Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were left in the main courtyard.

"Master, I feel that Yao'er has no love for Lan'er. You go to the study in a while and ask him carefully to see what he thinks. If he doesn't want to marry Lan'er, he should do it as soon as possible and don't delay him. Girl." Jia Min frowned.

Lin Ruhai frowned, "Where are you thinking, Yao'er is just not enlightened yet, why would she have bad intentions to delay other girls?"

"No matter how hard he is, the marriage is settled. In terms of reason, he should write two letters to greet you, right? But look at him, after he went to Yangzhou, did he come back with a letter? Oh, give us There is a letter from Laner, but what about Laner? He can think of writing a letter to us, but he can't think of his fiancée? This shows that he doesn't have Laner in his heart." Jia Min said with a straight face.

Lin Ruhai smiled and advised her not to think too much, "It's the first time for this child, and he has to be taught."

"Did someone teach you to send me things and write letters through my second brother?" Jia Min asked him with a sidelong glance.

This is a proposition.

Lin Ruhai never thought that the fire would burn himself. He is already 50 or [-] years old, so he is really ashamed.

"Ahem," Lin Ruhai cleared his throat, and said, "I read a lot of miscellaneous books back then, and I also learned from them."

"What book?" Jia Min was furious and planned to ask the bottom line.

The corners of Lin Ruhai's mouth twitched, but he didn't hide it. He's an old couple, so there's nothing to hide.

Hearing that Lin Ruhai learned it from some eclectic scripts, Jia Min's expression became numb, "I understand what you mean, but I remember that there are many miscellaneous books in Yao'er's study, don't they?"

"I would like to clarify this to Yao'er. He has never read these books. Since he came to our house, he has been studying hard. When he was young, I told him not to read these miscellaneous books, so I put them away. , Later, Yao'er devoted herself to studying and wanted to get fame, so no one cares about those miscellaneous books." Lin Ruhai explained.

Lin Ruhai didn't dare to say that he knew everything, but he was clear about it.

When Jia Min heard this, most of the annoyance in his heart disappeared, "In this case, you can teach him."

Lin Ruhai responded with a smile, and coaxed Jia Min a few more words, which made her smile before getting up and going to the study.

Lin Yao had been sitting in the study for a while, when she saw Lin Ruhai approaching, she quickly got up, "Master."

"Sit down, there's no need to be formal." Lin Ruhai pressed his hand and motioned Lin Yao to sit down, and he also sat down opposite Lin Yao.

Sitting opposite Lin Yao, it is easier to see the changes in Lin Yao's expression.

"Do you know why I called you to the study?" Lin Ruhai asked.

Lin Yao had some guesses, and asked cautiously, "But because of what the wife said?"

"Yes, and no." Lin Ruhai murmured.

Lin Yao: "..." Yes, yes, no, no, what is yes and no?

How can someone answer this?

Lin Yao opened her mouth, unable to speak.

Lin Ruhai seemed to see Lin Yao's embarrassment, and smiled and said, "Do you know what Madam told me just now?"

Lin Yao shook her head.

How could he know this?

Lin Ruhai imitated what Jia Min said, "It's no wonder Madam thinks so, you really don't care about other girls."

Lin Yao could not refute.

He treats Gu Fulan as his younger sister, but Gu Fulan is not his own sister after all, and she is not around, how can Lin Yao think of her?

"After you returned to Beijing the year before last, Madam arranged for your marriage. It was only after you agreed to the girl of the Gu family that Madam came to propose marriage for you. You even went hunting wild geese yourself. I saw at that time that you valued the Gu family. Girl, after all, there are so many officials and eunuchs from aristocratic families in the capital, and you really can't find another one who goes hunting wild geese like you."

Seeing that Lin Yao lowered her head and said nothing, Lin Ruhai sighed, "After you got engaged, you would occasionally ask the girl from the Gu family out. I never saw you have any opinion on her. The girl from the Gu family often asked Yu'er to give you things, but you are a little There is no response, Yaoer, tell me the truth, what are you thinking?"

Lin Yao frowned, pondered for a while, and sighed, "I...I just think that the Gu family sister is too young, and I can't give her the slightest admiration for her. In my heart, she is the same as Yu'er ..."

"Miss Gu is the same as Yu'er in your heart? It's okay if you lie to others, but if you say it in front of me, do you think I will believe it?" Lin Ruhai interrupted him, "You have been very kind to Yu'er since you were a child. For playing and wearing, you will give Yuer a share of everything you have, and there are some things you would rather not have than give to Yuer. But you have three points for Miss Gu, okay?"

Lin Yao: "..."

Unable to refute.

"And you said that Miss Gu is too young. Miss Gu should reach Jiji next year. Which girl didn't get engaged before Jiji? But you have a very weird temper, insisting that the girl is too young to be far away. Mention, let’s talk about the second master of the Gu family, your best friend, didn’t his daughter-in-law marry him as soon as she was young? And your teacher and teacher’s wife, didn’t they also get married at this age? Your mother and I both You are married at this age, why are you so awkward?"

Lin Ruhai really couldn't figure out what was going on in Lin Yao's mind.

Lin Yao was at a loss for words, she opened her mouth, knowing that she couldn't speak clearly, so she had to lower her head.

His personality was already formed in his previous life, and his habits can be changed, but after his personality is fixed, it is difficult to change it.

He knows that he has traveled to ancient times, and he also knows that he should adapt to this era and marry a wife and have children early.

Lin Ruhai got angry while talking, and seeing Lin Yao lowered her head and refused to respond, she frowned, "Speak!"

"I do not know what to say."

Lin Ruhai was a little heartbroken. He said so much about his feelings just now, but he didn't listen to a word?

"Then what do you want? Call off this marriage and pick someone older for you? Seventeen? Eighteen? Nineteen? Or twenty? What do you want, you say, as long as you say now Clearly, I will tell my wife right now to help you get rid of this marriage, so as to save the embarrassment of the two families." Lin Ruhai said angrily.

A pair of watery eyes flashed in Lin Yao's mind, and she was troubled, "When did I say that I don't want to marry a girl from the Gu family?"

Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Yao suspiciously, "Didn't you dislike Gu's girl for being too young?"

"I didn't dislike her." Lin Yao argued.

Lin Ruhai was a little confused, "I said you child, why are you so twisted? Since you are willing to marry a girl from the Gu family, why are you being indifferent to her?"

"I don't." Lin Yao explained with some depression, "I..."

I just think she is a little young, can't I wait until she grows up?

Lin Yao's heart was filled with anxiety, why did she hold onto him because of such a trivial matter?

Lin Ruhai looked at the tangled Lin Yao, and Lin Ruhai also became tangled.

He rubbed his forehead with some headaches, and sighed, "Forget it, I won't force you if you don't want to say it, but since you are willing to marry a girl from the Gu family, don't do these misleading behaviors again."

"I..." Lin Yao hesitated to speak, feeling extremely aggrieved.

What did he do that was misleading?

"I have prepared some books here, you can take them home and read them." Lin Ruhai didn't want to lecture any more, after all he could see that this kid just didn't get the hang of it.

Ask him what he was thinking, and he said that Gu Fulan was too young, so he asked him to call off the marriage and marry an older one, but he was still in a hurry with you, but Lin Ruhai could tell that Lin Yao still had some thoughts about Gu Fulan Yes, it's just not obvious, he probably didn't notice it himself, and insisted that Gu Fulan was young.

This unlucky boy is really a headache.

Lin Yao was kicked out of the study with a stack of bookcases given by Lin Ruhai.

Standing outside the courtyard, a gust of cold wind hit, Lin Yao shivered, and walked to the east courtyard depressed.

As soon as he passed the corner of the corridor, he saw Daiyu standing in front of him.

Lin Yao stopped walking, not happy at all, "Your sister also came to scold me?"

Daiyu was taken aback when she heard the words, then covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, "Brother was scolded by the master?"

Lin Yao scratched her head depressedly, "Am I really going too far?"

"Sister Bilan often embroiders this and that for you, and gives you this and that. My brother is indeed a lot colder." Daiyu said truthfully.

Lin Yao: "..." Brother loves you for nothing.

"Brother, don't be upset. I'm just telling the truth. Brother, ask yourself, do you really feel no guilt at all?" Lin Daiyu asked back.

Lin Yao: "..." Stop talking, it's too heartbreaking.

Makes him sound like a complete scumbag.

"Brother, don't look at the master and wife scolding you like this, but I have saved face for you. The wife has picked out a lot of good things from her private treasury and given them to sister Lan in your name." Daiyu said with a smile.

Lin Yao was stunned, unable to react for a moment.

"Since my brother has decided to marry Sister Lan, it's best to accept her with an open heart, so as not to hurt the relationship between husband and wife in the future, isn't it worth the loss?" Daiyu persuaded patiently.

Lin Yao was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Sister has grown up."

"I've grown up a long time ago. It's my brother, but you still treat me and Sister Lan as children." Daiyu seemed helpless, "Brother thought you treated Sister Lan like a child, but Sister Lan didn't notice at all? She It just didn't expose you."

Lin Yao: "..." Precocious girls in ancient times were too scary.

Can't be bothered, can't be bothered.
