[Red Mansion] Reborn Lin Ruhai

"Ahead is Brother Ruhai?"

Lin Ruhai was bored when suddenly a voice came.Can't help looking back, I saw a middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt walking slowly, holding a folding fan in his hand, and a piece of beautiful jade hanging on his waist.About 50 to [-] years old, with square face, broad forehead, high nose bridge, broad chin, few beards, kind face and elegant demeanor.Followed by two or three young servants, it seems that they should be eunuchs.It's just that although it looks familiar, I can't remember where I met it for a while.

"I'm Lin Ruhai, how dare I ask you brother?" Lin Ruhai clasped his hands.

The man also bowed and cupped his hands: "My surname is Zhang Mingyu, and my name is Jingzhai. I am a Jinshi of the same discipline as Brother Zun. But I have little talent, and I am still a magistrate from the fourth rank. It is not like brother Hai Qingyun. I am ashamed to say this! The next time I come to Beijing to report on my work, I will take a stroll and enjoy the prosperity of the capital!"

Lin Ruhai had a slight impression after hearing his self-reported name.We did have a good relationship for a while back then, but it was a pretty good one in my impression.It's just that he won Tanhua, so he was extended into the East Palace by Xiao Zhelin. He was busy, but he was alienated from these fellows.Many of them have only heard of their names and have not seen their people.Although I have participated in a few literature meetings before the palace examination, but after so many years, most of the people I met back then have forgotten most of them!It's just that Zhang Yu is still humble. You must know that at this age, he comes from a poor family and has no foundation, so it is not bad to be a magistrate.

"Brother Jingzhai is ridiculous!" Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Who is not an ordinary waste, and I may not be much better than you!"

Zhang Jingzhai thanked him again. He came from a humble background and had no foundation in the court.Unlike Lin Ruhaihou's family and noble eunuchs, relatives, friends and old friends are all over the court and the public, and Jinshi and rank are extended to the East Palace.It is only natural for him to be on the boat of the future emperor.I think he was young and energetic in the early days, thinking that a Jinshi was the pride of heaven.He didn't understand the rules of the officialdom, and just relied on his impetuosity to bump around. He suffered a lot of secret losses and was severely suppressed several times.I also learned some official knowledge from this, and then I became more cautious in my actions, and then I gradually got better.

While the two were talking, Xiao Zhelin came over with two bunches of candied haws, and Daiyu rushed to pick them up.

Zhang Yu looked at Daiyu suspiciously, and asked, "Brother Ruhai, who is this young master?"

"This is a child!" Xiao Zhelin said coldly, seeing this person talking to Ru Hai from afar, he was already upset, and even called Brother Ru Hai, it hurts his ears no matter what.Thinking about it, he couldn't help but take a look at the people following him, those guards are all for nothing, they let people get close to Ruhai casually, it seems that they are going too far!

After hearing this, Zhang Yu suddenly realized.He had heard that Lin Ruhai, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, had only one daughter, and his love was like a treasure. Just now, he saw that the child was smart and handsome, and he was still puzzled by Lin Ruhai's side?This is it, feelings are the sons of old friends.I don't want this person to look so powerful that people dare not look directly at him, but he dotes on children.It can be seen from the fact that he can put down his body and buy snacks for the children with his own hands.Just: "I don't know how to call this brother?"

"My name is Xiao."

Zhang Yu couldn't help being startled when he heard this, Xiao Nai is the surname of the country, so could this person come from the royal family?Thinking about it, he couldn't help but glanced again, and then they met each other.Xiao Zhelin wanted to ignore him, but it was not too much for Ru Hai to watch him here. After all, he appeared here as a commoner, so he also bowed back.Then he patted Daiyu's head and asked Lin Ruhai: "There is a restaurant in front, it is said to be good, let's go there!"

Lin Ruhai nodded, and turned to Zhang Yu: "Brother Jingzhai, let's join together!"

Zhang Yu took a look at Xiao Zhelin who was breathing coldly with a cold face, and resolutely shook his head to leave.That person doesn't seem to welcome him, and he is not easy to mess with, so he won't be in a hurry to get into trouble.This place in the capital is full of luxury and luxury, if you provoke a powerful person, his life may not be guaranteed!Didn't he have been able to do this all these years by being cautious?Don't do bad things, don't offend those nobles, just be your own official with peace of mind, and try your best to provide certain benefits for the people.Only by protecting yourself can you do more practical things.

Room on the second floor.

Lin Daiyu had already finished two bunches of candied haws, and was eating a plate of snacks.Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Look at our Yu'er, we are getting more and more edible, be careful that you will be too fat to walk in the future!"

Daiyu pursed her lips and snorted, and said with a smile, "How can Daddy say it's so serious? I don't eat so much every meal, so I'm happy today! By the way, Daddy, who was that person just now?"

"He is the same year as Daddy. But I haven't seen him for more than ten years, so I don't remember clearly!"

Lin Daiyu said "oh", then put down the snack and refused to eat it. She pushed it in disgust and shook Xiao Zhelin's arm: "These are not delicious, Uncle, bring me some next time you come!"

Xiao Zhelin was amused, feeling that the little girl wanted to eat the desserts used by the imperial court.Then he said: "You want to eat the snacks brought by uncle, why didn't you tell me earlier? Now that you are hungry, there is nowhere to buy them for you! How about this, I will give you the cook, and when you want to eat, let someone make it. How about this?"

Lin Daiyu nodded again and again: "Thank you uncle!"

Xiao Zhelin also had a smile on his face: "If Yu'er also calls me Daddy, I'll send you a few more cooks. Some cook yam cakes, and some make creamy puff pastry, such as milk water chestnut cake, lotus root starch osmanthus Sugar cake, japonica rice and jujube porridge..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Ruhai slapped Xiao Zhelin on the head.Lin Ruhai was very angry, and this slap was also very heavy. Didn't he settle the matter just now?Now he came to seduce his daughter again. He has so many sons and daughters, so he won't let them call daddy.He only has this one, and he still comes to grab it, he really thinks Lin Ruhai is a bully!

Xiao Zhelin covered his head and gave Lin Daiyu a wink, who pursed his lips and smiled, and called "Daddy".Lin Ruhai saw that her daughter was looking at him with two big round eyes, quickly withdrew her hands, and coughed uncomfortably: "Uh, what about me playing with your uncle emperor?" As he spoke, he could not help but glared at Xiao Zhelin, Just can't be quiet!

Lin Daiyu nodded in understanding, does her father still treat her as a child?Coaxing her like this, although he doesn't understand the relationship between father and uncle, but it must be different.Otherwise, why would the superior emperor take such good care of himself and please his father everywhere.Xiao Zhelin couldn't help laughing when he heard Lin Ruhai's words.Their relationship has never been hidden from Daiyu, but now that Daiyu is still young, she probably doesn't understand.

The three of them sat for a while and then returned home.While chatting, the boy came to report: "There is a master surnamed Qian who came to pay respects!"

Lin Ruhai took the post and read it, but he had never even heard of the name, so he didn't bother to agree.He ordered the boy to say, "Just say I'm not free, let him go back!" Since he took up the post of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, it can be said that there are many people in the market, and most of them come to ask for relationships.Those who are not relatives also come to recognize relatives, and those who do not know each other come to seek acquaintance.At the beginning, he still picked a few people to meet, but later, there were more and more people, disturbing people very much.They simply evaded it, and gradually it became less and less.

"Ruhai, is there still someone bothering you now? Why don't I send a team of guards to guard the gate for you, and drive out all those irrelevant people who come to worship!"

"What are you talking about? Since ancient times, the wind of paying homage has never been banned. How can I blatantly drive people away? Besides, is this what the guards use?" Lin Ruhai couldn't help frowning when he heard this. It can be seen that since ancient times, no emperor has sent guards to the minister's house to guard the gate!Besides, those who can enter the palace as bodyguards are all the sons of officials and eunuchs. If they come to guard the gate for him, they will feel uncomfortable!

Xiao Zhelin was reprimanded, but he was not annoyed. He smiled and said, "Aren't I afraid that you will bother me? There are a lot of things in the bureaucracy, and I have to worry about such trivial matters when I come back. What if I get tired? Don't let me It’s okay to give it away, if someone comes to worship, you just push it away! Don’t bother with those irrelevant people.”

Lin Ruhai looked at Daiyu who was lying on the desk beside her, and said with a smile: "I know, if you have time to take care of those chores, why not plant flowers, read books, and play chess with Yu'er when you are free?"

Seeing him like this, Xiao Zhelin felt itchy in his heart. He quietly took his hand, scratched it lightly, and smiled.Seeing that her daughter was flipping through the book, Lin Ruhai didn't pay attention to it, so she just gave him a glare, acquiescing.
