[Red Mansion] Reborn Lin Ruhai

When they arrived in Suzhou City, Xiao Zhelin and Lin Ruhai walked around first.

Suzhou is indeed a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it suffered from floods, it is much better than ordinary cities.Now the city has been completely renovated, and even the streets have been refurbished obviously. It is a bit more depressed than before, but it is not very dilapidated.There are a few vendors scattered on the street, and there are sporadic cries from time to time.The two ate at a small shop, and then went straight to the ferry, where many ships had parked in a mighty way, and it was where the imperial envoy was.

Xiao Zhelin sent a bodyguard to notify Feng Sicheng. He looked around and saw a tea shop not far away, so he smiled and pushed Lin Ruhai, "Let's go there and wait!"

It is said to be a tea shop, but it is just a small temporary shed.About the size of three rooms, all around are ventilated, without walls, only supported by a few pillars, and the roof is covered with a thick layer of thatch.From the shape and color of the thatch, it can be seen that it was newly laid. Lin Ruhai thought it should be newly built after the flood.Although crude, it looks kind and natural.There were a few people sitting inside, one old and one young serving tea and pouring water attentively and busying themselves.

"Okay, let's sit there for a while." Lin Ruhai walked over as he spoke, and Xiao Zhelin quickly caught up.

As soon as the group of people entered the tea shop, the young man trotted over, welcomed them into the shed with a smile on his face, and asked attentively, "Would you like to drink?"

"It doesn't matter what, it's upside down." Lin Ruhai sat down with a smile.This kind of roadside tea shop is often aimed at businessmen who come and go. It is enough to quench their thirst, and there is no good tea.Lin Ruhai simply let him take it easy, left and right were just resting his feet, drinking tea was just a matter of passing.

"Okay, a few guests, wait a moment!" The young man yelled, and left with the pot.

"Don't stand still, sit down!" Xiao Zhelin sat down next to Lin Ruhai, and when he looked up, he saw all the people following him standing in the shed, which was very eye-catching.He couldn't help but frowned, secretly thinking that these guards really didn't wink, didn't they see that there were already many people paying attention to this side?The guards still said they didn't dare, Xiao Zhelin put on a straight face, and said coldly: "Why, you don't listen to me anymore, do you?"

Then everyone sat down one after another, but they didn't dare to sit at the table of Lin Ruhai and Xiao Zhelin, and only sat at the other empty tables.

Lin Ruhai was amused to see it, and has become familiar with these guards these days.But he knew that these bodyguards who were born in aristocratic families and were deeply trusted by the emperor, were they all proud in their bones?It was only in front of Xiao Zhelin that he was so aggrieved!However, they were very respectful in front of him, and it seemed that Xiao Zhelin ordered or threatened them.It is not entirely true to say that, as people say "accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger", Xiao Zhelin doesn't need to threaten at all, as long as he reveals some meaning, others will not dare to go overboard.

Not long after, the young man brought tea, and a group of more than a dozen people used a large tray to serve it three times before it was enough.

Lin Ruhai raised his eyes and saw that Chen Zhong was still standing on the side, and said, "Sit down too!" Chen Zhong answered "Yes" and walked to the table next to him. Lin Ruhai stopped him and said, "Why are there so many rules? Just sit here!"

Chen Zhong thanked him, and sat down carefully.Xiao Zhelin glanced at him, said nothing, took a few sips of tea with a "gululu" in his hand, and then looked at the surrounding environment.Lin Ruhai also took a few sips, then put down the bowl, opened the fan and shook it leisurely.

Chen Zhong felt like he was sitting on pins and needles at the moment, and he felt awkward, sitting with his master, he was under pressure!

Xiao Zhelin didn't know what he was thinking, seeing Lin Ruhai holding a fan, he asked with a smile, "But it's hot?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head, and in a blink of an eye saw a white horse galloping across the road, he couldn't help being startled, his eyes had an unknown color.Lin Ruhai is like this, not because of the horse, but because of the person on the horse.I saw the man riding a steed, wearing a beautiful blue silk gown with forged arrow sleeves, a brocade bundle on his back, and a sword hanging around his waist. He looked like a knight-errant.

This is not surprising, but Lin Ruhai has seen this person in his life.

This person's name is Liu Xianglian, and as far as he knows, this Liu Xianglian was originally a child of the family.When he was wandering in Jia's mansion in the shape of a soul in his previous life, Lin Ruhai saw him have some contacts with Jia Baoyu.But that was a few years later, at this moment Liu Xianglian probably hadn't contacted those people in Jia's mansion.For this person, Lin Ruhai still has a good feeling. Indulging in casualness, wandering the world, and having a free and easy spirit, is it exactly what he can't ask for?

Liu Xianglian's nature is bold and forthright, and she doesn't have the dandy habits of ordinary children from aristocratic families.And I like to travel in the clouds the most, often wandering around, taking pleasure in indulgence, which is somewhat interesting.This is also why Lin Ruhai sees him as different from other people. Compared with those who seek out tricks and hide their knives with a smile, this kind of people are more lovely, and there is no need to worry about them betraying their friends.

Xiao Zhelin, who was always paying attention to Lin Ruhai, noticed his change in an instant.Following Lin Ruhai's line of sight, he saw that a young man came on horseback, and he criticized that person in his heart: he was clearly dressed as a martial artist, but he looked delicate and delicate, besides, he was too thin, how could he be as strong as himself? Handsome, like the sea, what does he do?Thinking of Xiao Zhelin pulling Lin Ruhai back unhappily, he held the other's hand tightly, and said in a bad tone: "Who is he, do you know him?"

Lin Ruhai leaned closer and whispered into his ear, "It's all happened in my previous life, I'll tell you later."

After hearing this, Xiao Zhelin's complexion improved a bit. Every time he talked about the things in his previous life, he was in an indescribably good mood.This is the secret between him and Ru Hai, and it is also the proof that they have been entangled for two lifetimes, no one else can compare.However, thinking back to Lin Ruhai's words "things from the previous life", Xiao Zhelin felt uncomfortable. These words really bothered his ears, as if Ruhai had something tricky with that person, and he had to ask Ruhai to find out.

After getting off the horse, Liu Xianglian shouted: "Xiaoer, take the thirst-quenching tea and put it in three bowls in a sea bowl!" As he said that, he strode into the tea shed, looked around, and saw that everyone was full, only Lin Ruhai There was still room for one person at the table, so he cupped his hands and said, "I wonder if the three of you can sit down?"

Xiao Zhelin was about to say no, but Lin Ruhai said first: "Young man, please go ahead!"

Liu Xianglian thanked her, then sat down carelessly, put a dagger on the table casually, cupped her hands and said: "We are destined to meet each other, I don't know how many of you should call them?"

Lin Ruhai returned the salute with a smile, pointed at Xiao Zhelin and Chen Zhong and introduced them one by one: "My surname is Lin, this is my elder brother, and that is our housekeeper." Liu Xianglian called them brothers after seeing the salutes one by one.Seeing that the three of Xiao Zhelin all spoke with northern accents, after questioning, they knew they were from the capital, so they asked why they came here.Lin Ruhai said: "Come to Suzhou to do some business, and look at how you dress up, you look like a wandering knight!"

Liu Xianglian laughed loudly and said: "Brother Zun said exactly what he said. My younger brother always likes to wander around the world, often wandering around and living in no fixed place. No, I just traveled to various places in the south of the Yangtze River, and this time I am going to Beijing."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "It's fate, I will return to Beijing soon, and I don't know if we will meet in the capital at that time."

Liu Xianglian became interested after hearing this, put down the tea bowl and asked: "Little brother, stop and go, and visit places of interest and historical sites. I don't know how many months it will be until I arrive in the capital. I'm afraid that brother Lin will return early by then. It's just right." I go to pay a visit, but I don't know where the Zundi is?"

Lin Ruhai saw that he was straightforward, gentle and polite, and he felt good in his heart, so he said, "You just go to Renping Lane to find Lin's residence."

Just as he was talking, Feng Sicheng brought someone to pick him up, Xiao Zhelin pulled Lin Ruhai and left.The latter only had time to say goodbye to Liu Xianglian hastily, and was dragged onto the boat by Xiao Zhelin. He couldn't help feeling angrily in his heart, secretly thinking that Xiao Zhelin was jealous for no reason.After entering the main hall of the big ship, Feng Sicheng led all the guards to pay homage, saying long live.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Ruhai had to save face for Xiao Zhelin, so he had to hold back.

"You all retreat!" Xiao Zhelin ordered everyone, Feng Sicheng was about to withdraw, Xiao Zhelin stopped him again and said, "Are all the officials from all over the south of the Yangtze River here?"

"All here, are you waiting for the imperial decree to be read?" Feng Sicheng replied.

Xiao Zhelin nodded, told him to back down, and ordered Chen Zhong to bring a set of guard's clothes, and waved everyone back.Lin Ruhai's official uniform was prepared early in the morning. At this moment, he ignored Xiao Zhelin, took it by himself and changed it behind the screen.Xiao Zhelin put down his clothes, went over and hugged his waist with a smile, "Are you still angry? It was my fault just now, and I shouldn't make you lose face in front of outsiders. If you don't do this again, please forgive me this time, please?"

"I'm not angry with you..." Lin Ruhai turned around and held Xiao Zhelin's face, "It's just that you can't be jealous at all times, can't you see it? I can only accept you in this life. How can someone who is so concerned about gains and losses have the demeanor of a king of a country?"

"Really?" Xiao Zhelin couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this, he hugged him, his body trembling slightly.His eyes were hot, and he suddenly had the urge to cry.It is really not easy to get the words like the sea!Although I thought about staying with Ruhai for the rest of my life, I also had countless fantasies that Ruhai could say some sweet words to him.But when he really heard these words, he still couldn't restrain his excitement and excitement.Xiao Zhelin could feel it himself, even the words he said had a slight trembling sound.

"Like the sea, like the sea, like the sea..." Xiao Zhelin hugged his lover and whispered over and over again.At this moment, it seems that saying anything is superfluous, only this intimate call can relieve the uneasiness and excitement in his heart.

"Hmm..." Lin Ruhai responded in a low voice, and said softly, "Let go first..."

Xiao Zhelin relaxed his hand, his eyes were still fixed on Lin Ruhai, tender and affectionate.

Lin Ruhai blushed unconsciously when he saw him, looked up, patted his shoulder again, and said "lower".Xiao Zhelin hurriedly squatted down slightly, looking at Lin Ruhai at the same level.Lin Ruhai put his hands on his shoulders, and said solemnly: "I will only say these words once, you can remember them. You are not allowed to eat those messy flying vinegar in the future. If I, Lin Ruhai, are destined to fall in love with someone in this life, it will definitely be you Xiao Zhelin..."

"Ah... what are you doing, you still don't let it go!" Before Lin Ruhai finished speaking, Xiao Zhelin hugged him and turned around in a circle, hugging the other person's head in fright.Xiao Zhelin obviously didn't intend to let it go, he hugged the person several times with a smile on his face before letting go.Before Lin Ruhai could catch his breath, he kissed her. The kiss made Lin Ruhai's face flushed. Fang backed out contentedly, hugged her and panted heavily.

"As the sea as the sea..." Xiao Zhelin's hoarse voice was full of longing.

Lin Ruhai quickly pushed him and said, "You can't do anything foolish at this moment, the officials are still waiting to read the imperial decree?"

Xiao Zhelin took a few deep breaths, cursed a few words, then picked up the clothes scattered on the ground, changed for Lin Ruhai, and put on the guard's clothes himself.Lin Ruhai drank tea again, after everything was tidied up, officials from Xuanzhong came in.Lin Ruhai stood in the middle of the hall, Xiao Zhelin held a knife by his side, he was born tall and majestic, but at the moment he was dressed as a guard and looked majestic, with the air of a general.Fortunately, all the officials kept their heads down, and their attention was mostly on Lin Ruhai, but no one paid attention to him.

Since Lin Ruhai was patrolling the south of the Yangtze River on behalf of the emperor, all the officials first knelt down and kowtowed three times to ask for the Holy Majesty's blessing.Next, they knelt down to listen to the imperial decree. After the imperial decree was read out, everyone got up again, and finally saluted Lin Ruhai.Zhang Huai is also in Suzhou, so he is naturally among the officials.After Lin Ruhai called out, he ordered everyone to go back to the government office, leaving only Zhang Huai.

Yang Zhen, the prefect of Suzhou, lowered his head and did not move. After everyone had left, he stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "The humble prefect of Suzhou has met your lord. My lord has worked hard all the way, and my lord has ordered someone to clean the other courtyard. Please move to rest. .”

"It's time for Mr. Magistrate, I will go after finishing the matter here." Lin Ruhai said.

Seeing this, the magistrate didn't dare to say much, and retired respectfully.

Zhang Huai recognized Xiao Zhelin, besides, he has always been a smooth-faced person, seeing that there are no outsiders at this moment, he quickly kowtowed and said: "My minister Zhang Huai has met the Holy One, long live long live long live!"

As soon as everyone left, Xiao Zhelin sat on the chair generously, and wanted to pull Lin Ruhai to sit down. Lin Ruhai couldn't resist, and he didn't want Zhang Huai to see the clues, so he had to sit down.Xiao Zhelin looked at Lin Ruhai with a smile, glanced at Zhang Huai from the corner of his eyes, and said casually: "Let's be flat! How can there be so many rules outside? From now on, just treat me as an ordinary guard. Don't be seen by others, you can remember gone?"

Zhang Huai repeatedly said "I dare not" at first, then kowtowed again after thinking about it: "I remember it!"

Xiao Zhelin was amused by his appearance, and said with a smile: "Are you afraid or do you remember?"

Zhang Huai kowtowed again: "I remember it!"

"You can't get up even though you've remembered, do you want me to help you?" Zhang Huai hurriedly stood up after saying a word, but Lian Chen didn't dare.Lin Ruhai pulled Xiao Zhelin's sleeve quietly, signaling him to restrain himself.Taking advantage of the situation, Xiao Zhelin grabbed Lin Ruhai's hand, and gently rubbed it under the cover of his sleeve, without looking at Zhang Huai, he ordered him to retreat.That Zhang Huai responded, but didn't dare to raise his eyes, and quickly bowed and pushed it out.

When the guards came in to report, they were stopped by Chen Zhong outside. The two muttered at the door for a while, and then Chen Zhong came in.Lin Ruhai asked him what was the matter, and Chen Zhong said: "The chariots and horses are all ready, send someone outside to ask if your lord is going ashore?"

Lin Ruhai nodded and ordered to go ashore.
