[Comprehensive Wear] A good brother's life

Adopting a son is a very important matter, it can be said to be a major event in the clan.

Lin Ruhai and the patriarch "summoned" Lin Huaiyu and Lin Zeyu in the ancestral hall of the Lin clan.The rest of the clan were also present.

Before Lin Huaiyu and Lin Zeyu went to the ancestral temple to meet Lin Ruhai, there was an episode.Lin Zeyu threatened Lin Huaiyu, telling him not to fight with Lin Ruhai when he saw Lin Ruhai later, otherwise he would not let him go.

Lin Huaiyu ignored Lin Zeyu's threat at all.Lin Zeyu is relatively intelligent among children of the same age. She can memorize Tang poetry and Song Ci by heart at the age of seven, and she also knows a lot of characters, but this child has an impure heart.

Seeing that Lin Huaiyu ignored him, Lin Zeyu was so angry that he wanted to beat him.When Lin Huaiyu was first taken back to the Lin family by the patriarch, Lin Zeyu didn't take him seriously at all.In his opinion, Lin Huaiyu is just a wild dog without father and mother, and he is the young master of the Lin family.However, he never thought that one day he would compete with Lin Huaiyu for something.

For Lin Huaiyu, he didn't take Lin Zeyu seriously, mainly because he was too lazy to argue with a kid.Although he is still a kid now, his soul is not a kid.

Lin Zeyu jumped ahead of Lin Huaiyu, stepped into the main hall first, and saluted Lin Ruhai and the elders of the clan in a proper manner.

Lin Huaiyu was not angry at being preempted by Lin Zeyu, and saluted Lin Ruhai and his elders in a calm and unhurried manner.

Before Lin Huaiyu entered the main hall, Lin Ruhai noticed him from a distance, mainly because the child was too good-looking.

Although Lin Zeyu was good looking, compared with Lin Huaiyu, he was much inferior.

Lin Huaiyu not only has an outstanding appearance, but also has a tall and straight figure and an outstanding temperament.When he walked in to salute the elders, his demeanor and movements were very steady, not like a six-year-old child at all.

The patriarch first introduced Lin Zeyu to Lin Ruhai, and then introduced Lin Huaiyu.After that, he introduced Lin Ruhai to Lin Huaiyu and the other two.

Lin Zeyu sweetly called Lin Ruhai "Uncle", while Lin Huaiyu called Lin Ruhai "Master".

Lin Ruhai first greeted the two children cordially and kindly, and then asked the two children what they like to eat, play, and do with concern like an elder.

Lin Zeyu answered before Lin Huaiyu, saying that he usually likes to eat meat.He doesn't like to play, he likes to read and write at home.This answer was taught to him by his grandfather, a certain Mr. Zhang.

Before answering the question, Lin Huaiyu saluted Lin Ruhai respectfully, and then replied: "I like to eat Dongpo meat made by grandma. The Dongpo meat made by grandma is very delicious." The grandma he was talking about was the patriarch Ma'am, when it comes to eating Dongpo meat, his little face has a small expression like a greedy cat, which is very cute. "I like playing peek-a-boo, flying kites, and cockfighting with everyone." The cockfighting he was talking about was not a cockfight with others, but a two-person cockfight with their legs raised.

Lin Zeyu on the side laughed at Lin Huaiyu's answer when he heard Lin Huaiyu's answer, thinking that he was sure to win.

"I started studying this year, and I usually read and write at home." Lin Huaiyu said innocently and crisply, "The patriarch grandpa often said that only by studying hard can you be successful, and you can stand out in the future, just like you, my lord."

When the patriarch heard Lin Huaiyu's answer at first, his heart sank slightly, and he couldn't help being a little worried, but he felt relieved when he heard his last sentence.

Lin Ruhai nodded gently: "What books do you two usually read?"

Lin Zeyu answered before Lin Huaiyu again: "Uncle, I usually read "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic", "Disciple Regulations", "Analects of Confucius", and Tang poetry and Song Ci." After finishing speaking, he said triumphantly, "Uncle , you can test me at will, and I can recite it.”

"Is it so powerful?" After Lin Ruhai chuckled, he began to question Lin Zeyu, first about the contents of his "San Zi Jing", and then about his Tang poems.

Lin Zeyu recited it all, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Lin Ruhai praised without hesitation: "It's really smart."

"Thank you uncle for the compliment."

Lin Zeyu's grandfather, a certain elder said, "Ruhai, Zeyu has been very smart since he was a child. If you teach him to recite books, he will be able to recite them soon."

Seeing that Lin Ruhai seemed very satisfied with Lin Zeyu, the patriarch sighed softly in his heart.Lin Zeyu is one year older than Lin Huaiyu, and he started studying formally last year.In addition, when Lin Zeyu was three years old, his grandfather and father taught him to recite books and poems.However, Lin Huaiyu only started reading this year, and before he was taken back to the Lin family, no one taught him to read and write.In terms of reading and literacy, Lin Huaiyu is temporarily inferior to Lin Zeyu.

"The elders will teach their grandchildren." Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Huaiyu and asked, "Huaiyu, you said that you have studied this year, what did your husband teach you?"

"My lord, sir taught me the Three Character Classic and Thousand Character Classic, but I haven't finished it yet." Lin Huaiyu said very honestly, "Brother Zeyu is better than me."

"Ruhai, you don't know. Before Huaiyu was taken back to the Lin family, he had been wandering with his mother and lived a poor life. His mother never taught him to read." The patriarch took a fancy to Lin Zeyu, and decided to help him after thinking about it. He said, "This kid just started reading at the beginning of this year, but the husband said that he is smart, and he will learn what he is taught."

Lin Ruhai nodded slightly after hearing the patriarch's words, and then said softly: "Huaiyu, then I will test your "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic"."

Lin Huaiyu said calmly, "My lord, please enlighten me."

"Xiang Jiuling, can warm the seats."

"Filial piety to relatives, what should be done."

"Only calligraphy, everyone abides by..."

"Learn words, speak Chinese."

Lin Ruhai inspected Lin Zeyu's "Three Character Classic", and Lin Zeyu answered all of them correctly.Then, he examined the contents of Lin Zeyu's "Thousand Characters", and Lin Zeyu still answered all of them correctly.

Although Lin Huaiyu didn't read as many books as Lin Zeyu, his performance was no worse than Lin Zeyu's.

"The two children are very smart and outstanding." Lin Ruhai said, "The children in the clan are so smart and outstanding, they will definitely be able to take care of our Lin family in the future."

"Ruhai, it's all thanks to you for running a free school in the clan and paying money to ask the master to teach the children in the clan." The clan leader and elders began to flatter Lin Ruhai again.

Lin Zeyu's grandfather couldn't wait any longer, so he rushed ahead of the patriarch and asked Lin Ruhai: "Ruhai, what do you think of Zeyu and Huaiyu, can they catch your eye?"

"Both of them are excellent, but..." Lin Ruhai paused, "How about their birthdays?"

The elder said again first: "Zeyu is the eighth day of the third lunar month."

The patriarch said: "Huaiyu is the fifth day of August."

"The fifth day of August?!" Lin Ruhai's pupils shrank, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face, "Huayu is six years old this year?"

"Yes." The patriarch looked at Lin Ruhai suspiciously, not understanding why he was so surprised.

Lin Huaiyu knew why Lin Ruhai was so excited when he heard that his birthday was the fifth day of August, because the birthday of his son who died many years ago was also the fifth day of August, and he was born in the second year after his eldest son died.

People in ancient times were more superstitious. If he had such a fate with Lin Ruhai's son who died early, Lin Ruhai would definitely think that he was the reincarnation of his son who died early, otherwise he wouldn't even have the same birth date.

This is Lin Huaiyu's trump card.

If Lin Ruhai refuses the proposal of adoption, he will recommend himself to find Lin Ruhai. In addition to telling Lin Ruhai about Lin Daiyu's fate in the future, he will also tell Lin Ruhai that his birthday is on the fifth day of August.

Lin Ruhai stared at Lin Huaiyu for a while, and the more he looked, the more he felt that this child was very similar to his son who died three years ago, especially the eyebrows and eyes.

Before, when Lin Huaiyu came to see him, he had taken a fancy to this child, and he felt familiar and kind when he saw this child.It turned out to be because of this.

Lin Ruhai made a look at the patriarch, and the patriarch immediately understood and asked Lin Huaiyu and Lin Zeyu to retreat first.

After the two children retreated, Lin Zeyu's grandfather couldn't wait to ask Lin Ruhai: "Ruhai, which child do you like?"

"The patriarch and the elders have raised the children very well. I like both children."

"Ruhai, are you going to take them all back?" The patriarch misunderstood, but it's fine for Lin Ruhai to take both children back, and everyone is happy.

Lin Ruhai didn't rush to answer the patriarch's question, but said, "Patriarch, elder, there is something I didn't tell you."

"whats the matter?"

"This time I came back to adopt a child, mainly to make my wife happy." When Lin Ruhai said this, his face could not help showing a touch of sadness, "At the end of last year, my wife was seriously ill due to a miscarriage, and the medicine was useless. The doctor said it was a heart disease, and I Madam wants to give birth to a son for me, but..." Years ago, the early death of his son hit Lin Ruhai and Jia Min very hard, but Jia Min was the worst.After the death of her son, Jia Min has been depressed.Later, when she was pregnant with Lin Daiyu, she regained her composure.

Although she gave birth to a daughter, Lin Daiyu was born beautiful and smart, both Jia Min and Lin Ruhai loved this daughter very much.

After giving birth to Lin Daiyu, Jia Min wanted to have another son, but she became pregnant again in the middle of last year.The doctor said that her child must be a son, but she was so happy that she had a miscarriage at the end of the year.

At the beginning, the early death of her first son was a big blow to her and made her depressed.Even after giving birth to Lin Daiyu, a well-behaved and lovely daughter, the depression in her heart did not dissipate. On the contrary, she became more and more concerned that she did not take good care of her son, so she let her son die young.

When Jia Min gave birth to Lin Daiyu, she almost had a dystocia. After giving birth to her daughter, she was seriously injured.Although she has been recuperating well, it takes several years of recuperation to recover well, and she became pregnant again before she fully recovered her body.The previous stagnation and physical loss made her weak and unable to give birth to this child smoothly.

After the miscarriage, Jia Min was devastated, and her body became weaker and weaker. In addition, she felt very guilty and blamed herself for not giving birth to a son for Lin Ruhai. This made her condition worse and worse. Now it is so serious that she can't even get out of bed.

Lin Ruhai knew Jia Min's knot in his heart, so he wrote a letter to Jia's mother who was far away in the capital, discussing the matter of making Jia Min happy with his adopted son.

After receiving the letter, Mother Jia naturally supported Lin Ruhai's approach.When replying to the letter, Jia's mother specifically emphasized that she wanted to find a child whose birth date did not coincide with theirs.

Lin Huaiyu's birth date is very close to that of his son who died young. Lin Ruhai believes that Jia Min will be happy if he brings Lin Huaiyu back.

"Patriarch, elder, Huaiyu's birthday is exactly the same as that of my son who died seven years ago. I think this child is destined for me."

"I didn't expect such a coincidence." The patriarch didn't expect Lin Huaiyu's birthday to be the same as that of Lin Ruhai's son who died seven years ago, and said with surprise, "Ruhai, this is your fate."

Lin Ruhai nodded and said with a smile: "Patriarch, I think so too."

When Lin Zeyu's grandfather heard what Lin Ruhai said, he knew that his grandson had lost the election. This made him feel very disappointed, but at the same time he was a little fortunate.What is disappointing is that his grandson cannot become Lin Ruhai's son and cannot enjoy the glory and wealth of Lin Ruhai's family.Fortunately, there is no need to be separated from the grandson.

The patriarch confirmed with Lin Ruhai: "Then you have taken a fancy to Huaiyu?"

"Yes, Huaiyu is destined for me, I want to take him back."

"Okay, okay." The patriarch was very happy, "Tomorrow will be a good day, why not take care of the adoption tomorrow, what do you think?"

Lin Ruhai bowed to the patriarch: "Then trouble the patriarch."

"No trouble, no trouble." The patriarch smiled, "This is what I should do."

Since Lin Ruhai had chosen Lin Huaiyu, the patriarch asked someone to call him over to get acquainted with Lin Ruhai first.

Knowing that she was selected by Lin Ruhai, Lin Huaiyu was not surprised at all, but she was still very happy.

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect her for the rest of her life and make her a happy life!"
