[Red Mansion] Reborn Lin Ruhai

"Master, are you tired? Let me support you!" Although Xiao Cheng was a bit confused at times, he was still very careful with those he cared about.It doesn't look like Lin Ruhai has worked hard climbing the mountain, but he also cares about people.Lin Ruhai waved his hand, meaning no need.Normally Xiao Zhelin was cautious, but after all this came out, Lin Ruhai didn't want to be looked down upon by others, especially if this person was his apprentice.

It was not easy for him to go out for a trip. After comforting this one and that one, he managed to take care of his daughter and Xiao Zhelin with great difficulty. On the way, he met someone who insisted on going with him. He had no choice but to take Xiao Cheng with him.Facts have proved that it is useful to bring him along. Although this kid was born in the royal family, but because he has been fooling around with Xiao Lingwei since he was a child, he is also familiar with the affairs of the market. He was more experienced than the guards he specially brought with him.

Originally, I planned to go up the mountain the day I arrived, and thanks to Xiao Cheng's well-informed information, I found out that Lu Han had gone out for a trip, and would not return until three days later, otherwise I was afraid that I would be acting like a three-time visitor.Lin Ruhai took everyone to stay in the inn in the town for three days before going up the mountain.

This road is extremely quiet, although the winter is sluggish, most of the trees from a distance have only withered and yellow branches.Looking closely, this is not the case. Occasionally, there are some evergreen pines and cypresses, which are still blooming green in the severe cold, and seem to be full of vitality.From time to time, you can also see gurgling spring water, and occasionally a few plum blossoms with light pink and proud snow beside the stone road, which can be regarded as a beautiful landscape.A few unknown tunes came from the lonely mountain from time to time, sometimes chanted and sometimes sang loudly, Lin Ruhai knew that it was the chant of villagers hunting or chopping firewood.

They have a hard life, but they also have pure happiness!

The mountain where Lu Han lives is not high, but it is in the middle of several continuous hills, there is no way around, and he has to climb three hills to get there.When Lin Ruhai reached the top of the second mountain, his strength was exhausted, and Xiao Cheng was also aware of it, and automatically and consciously supported him to bear most of the strength.Looking up at the house in front of him, Lin Ruhai glanced at Xiao Cheng appreciatively, and whispered: "It's really thanks to you!" I really lacked exercise, and it was a bit difficult to walk so little.

"Master is serious. I finally found an opportunity to honor you. Is it too late to be happy?" Xiao Cheng said with a smile.

"Glib!" Lin Ruhai shook his head and laughed, "Let's go up!"

The place where they stayed was more than a dozen steps away from the house. On the way there was a stone wall blocking the way, and the house was covered by the stone wall.The stone walls are obviously carved, and the carvings are extremely delicate when you look closely, and because of their shape, they are carved at will, majestic without losing their natural qualities.Walking through five or six steps, bypassing the stone wall, you can see the scene in front of you at a glance.There is no gatehouse, just two simple doors and windows.In front of the door, there was a boy in gray clothes picking up stones and playing. When he saw someone coming, he pinched his hands on his waist and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Looking for an old gentleman surnamed Lu, is he there?" Lin Ruhai smiled.

"So I'm looking for my grandpa. He's here. Guests, come with me!" As he spoke, he put the stones he was still holding in the small basket by the door, and patted the stones off his hands twice. Dust, stepping in.Lin Ruhai led the crowd to enter afterward. Stepping through the gate was the hallway, with all kinds of ingenious carpentry work placed on both sides.There are reclining chairs, rocking chairs, wooden carts that sprinkle water, pony carts that can automatically rotate in circles by some method, wooden birds that constantly flap their wings, and so on. There are too many wonderful things to list, all of which are gadgets studied by Lu Han himself.

Xiao Cheng was curious and couldn't help touching the wooden bird.The little boy was not happy, knocked off his hand, puffed his face and said: "Don't touch it randomly, these are all grandpa's treasures. Can this wooden bird still fly? And just this one, it will damage you I can't afford it!" The latter sentence was obviously showing off, which made Xiao Cheng amused, folded his arms with his hands, and put on a relentless expression, "Can you really fly? I don't believe you, kid, talking nonsense. , unless you let it fly now, let me see!"

"If you can fly, you can fly. Believe it or not? If you want to see how it flies, just tell me, such a big person, is it interesting to lie to me as a child?" The boy was straightforward.

But is Xiao Cheng the one who gets run over at will?

"You!" He pointed at the child angrily. He has a fiery temper, and the word "you" also carries anger.

"Cheng'er, don't be rude!" Lin Ruhai frowned, and reprimanded him mildly.

"Master, this kid is too deceitful!" Xiao Cheng was obviously not convinced.

Lin Ruhai was funny, glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "How old are you, why are you angry with a child?" Instead, he lowered his identity.Xiao Cheng snorted a couple of times in displeasure, exhaled a foul breath, and generously expressed that he was not as knowledgeable as a child.In order to express his friendliness, he wanted to touch the child's head, but the latter turned his head away and stuck out his tongue at him.Now Xiao Cheng was angry again, but seeing Lin Ruhai's warning eyes, he couldn't get angry, and turned around angrily and made a scary face at the child.

Lin Ruhai saw the actions of the two of them and laughed in his heart.

How old is he, but still full of childishness!

It happened that Lu Han came out of the house and was surprised and delighted to see Lin Ruhai, and he only called him "Xiandi Lin".Lin Ruhai also clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Last time, the trip was in a hurry, so I didn't have time to visit. Are you okay, old man?" Lu Han stepped forward to hold Lin Ruhai's hand, patted it affectionately, and the creases on his face flew up with a smile: "Brother Duomeng is concerned, Brother Yu is fine, but brother, is the matter over?"

"It's all over, my little brother is here today, I really want to ask for something, and I hope it will be done!" Lin Ruhai said and made a bow.Since Lu Han regarded himself as a brother and called himself a good brother, Lin Ruhai was not hypocritical, so he followed his words.

"What are you talking about, brother? I am free and easy by nature, so what if I devote myself to it, I will definitely help you. I just don't know why?"

Lu Han did not care about fame and fortune all his life, and he always did things as he wanted.He regards himself as a celebrity, and all the people he associates with are those who are full of knowledge or have another skill.He has seen Lin Ruhai's handwriting before, and from the last time he gave a pen, it is enough to see that he is a person who doesn't care about trivial matters, which suits Lu Han's appetite very well.He has a flaw, if he doesn't like it, even if the other party has a prominent status, don't even think about getting his attention.He really fell in love with him, no matter what the identity of the other party was, he could give everything he had.Lin Ruhai is obviously the latter.

"How about we go in and discuss in detail?" Lin Ruhai raised his eyes and looked at the three halls in front, the meaning was self-evident.

Lu Han let out a "Ouch" and said, "Brother Yu is slow to wait, please come in quickly!" While letting Lin Ruhai in, he turned around and told the boy in gray: "Tell you, Sister Chunlan, that a distinguished guest is here. , serve good tea quickly! Remember it’s good tea, don’t use those to fool people!” The little boy agreed and ran to the side room.Lu Han and Lin Ruhai entered the main hall, and sat down as guests and hosts.After a while, a little girl in a white jacket with plain makeup and a navy blue gown with flowers came over with a cup and plate, poured tea, and then bowed and left.

"Mountain and wild tea is crude, don't blame my brother!" Lu Han made a gesture of invitation, although he said so, there was no embarrassment in his eyes.

Several people talked for a while, and Lin Ruhai reported his name.Lu Han was surprised for a moment, and then calmed down. What he handed over was Lin Ruhai, not his status and authority.Seeing that Lu Han was so free and easy, Lin Ruhai looked at Xiao Cheng who was sitting next to him, and deeply felt that this person's identity should not be kept a secret.He took a sip of tea lightly, brewed up his mood, and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, this is the fourth prince, His Highness Prince Anjun." Then he turned to Xiao Cheng and said, "Cheng'er, I haven't seen Mr. Lu yet."

Xiao Cheng hurriedly got up to see him.

Lu Han's eyes widened, slightly surprised in his heart, but still calm on his face, and greeted Xiao Cheng.

Lin Ruhai said that he wanted to ask for something, and even the prince was dispatched. What is it?Lu Han was even more curious now.Lin Ruhai saw his doubts, and without waiting for him to ask questions, he explained the reason for his visit.Lu Han's frown could pinch a mosquito to death, which Lin Ruhai expected, otherwise he wouldn't have to go there himself.Lin Ruhai was not in a hurry, and sipped tea leisurely, but his gaze was still fixed on Lu Han. He sometimes frowned and sometimes thought, not knowing what to say.

"How did you come up with me?" Lu Han asked after a long time.

"Brother Zun's disciple, named Zhang Yu, is the same age as my younger brother, and now they are in the same yamen." Even if he didn't say anything later, Lu Han understood.Unfilial apprentice, so that kid betrayed me!But... "Forgive me for not obeying my orders!" Lu Han stood up and bowed to the ground.He had heard of what Lin Ruhai did, and he admired him in his heart. The moment he knew his name, he secretly sighed in his heart that this friend was worth making, and he did not lose face as a scholar.

It's just...these...are not enough to constitute a reason to go out!

Lin Ruhai didn't expect him to refuse so firmly, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"Forgive me for the inconvenience. If you come to discuss knowledge and study calligraphy with me, I welcome you. If you go down the mountain to work for the imperial court, brother Yu will be helpless." Lu Han said apologetically.Master Lin's reputation is now well known in the world, and his bearing and self-cultivation can be seen at a glance.As far as Lin Ruhai is concerned, he appreciates it, and he is naturally happy to explore knowledge one-sidedly.But if he went down the mountain and stayed in the court, it was not what he wanted.

Seeing that he was resolute, Lin Ruhai couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had to stay temporarily and find another way.

The mountain is quiet, and although the house is spacious, Lu Han has always lived with his grandson and a maid and servant. Although there are extra rooms, they are filled with sundries and cannot be sorted out for a while.Sudden addition of Lin Ruhai and his party, it will inevitably be crowded.There are only two vacant guest rooms, Lin Ruhai and Xiao Cheng share one, and the remaining nearly ten guards can only squeeze into one to make do.

Xiao Zhelin originally planned to let Chen Zhong follow Lin Ruhai, but Chen Zhong was careful, with him around, he didn't have to worry that Ruhai would wrong him.Helplessly, Lin Ruhai refused to take him because Chen Zhong was Xiao Zhelin's personal internal prisoner, and his goal was too big.No matter how assertive Xiao Zhelin was, he had always been obedient in front of Lin Ruhai, seeing that he insisted on doing so, he had no choice but to let it go.He also wanted Li Ping to follow. Li Ping was trained by Chen Zhong alone, and he was quite authentic.Lin Ruhai also felt that her daughter liked Li Ping very much recently, and he was quite familiar with the affairs in the palace, so she might as well let him follow her daughter to feel at ease.

Therefore, in the end, more guards could only be sent to follow, and there were dozens of people in the open and in the dark.

Before leaving, Xiao Zhelin repeatedly told Xiao Cheng to keep an eye on Lin Ruhai, and don't be wronged.

As soon as Lin Ruhai entered the room, Xiao Cheng dutifully handed over a hand stove.Lin Ruhai was taken aback, remembering that Xiao Zhelin was like this on weekdays, and unconsciously put on a smile, "Cheng'er, your concubine is a blessed person!" Xiao Cheng frowned suspiciously, and it took him a while to realize, saying: "Master He's also a blessed person." Lin Ruhai intended to tease Xiao Cheng, but instead blushed himself, turned his head uncomfortably, looked at the only bed, thoughtfully.

"Master!" Xiao Cheng raised his eyebrows, put the two small tables together, brushed off the things on them, patted them, and smiled brightly, oh, no, he was full of foolishness!Pointing to the table together, he said: "You sleep on the bed, I can sleep here!"

"How can this be done? Let's not talk about whether it's cold or not. Don't complain that your back hurts tomorrow!"

"It's all right, master, I'm in good health, neither cold nor wronged. Master, you don't know, I used to go out secretly with the emperor's uncle, spend all my money lavishly, and live in the wilderness?" Sleeping in the open air, and not seeing any illness, what is this!" Xiao Cheng waved his hand, saying without shame.Lin Ruhai became interested, touched his chin, and smiled with interest, "Oh? Do you still have money to stay in the hotel?"

Xiao Cheng spat: "It's not my fault either, it's all because the emperor spends money too recklessly!"

"Do you often go out with the third prince?"

"It's not often, once or twice a year is good. Sometimes the emperor sees me so closely that he has no chance to go out. Before entering the court, he has to study every day, and he can't be absent without reason. Sometimes I pretend to be sick, and then Sneaking out. Father seldom cares about us, even if Brother Huang knows that I have slipped away, he will not complain, but will try to cover it up for me, and at most he will be scolded when he comes back. Brother Huang has a sense of propriety." I will watch it more closely in the future, so I haven't been able to find opportunities to go out in recent years.

"You have a good brother." When the two were talking, the guards had already made the bed, Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows: "You really don't want to sleep on the bed?" Xiao Cheng quickly shook his head, if he dared to nod, he would die if he went back.Father Huang asked him to take care of Master on the way, but he didn't let him share the same bed with Master.Lin Ruhai obviously knew this too, regardless of how big and wide the bed is, one more person is more than enough, but in order not to cause trouble for Xiao Cheng, it is better not to force him to come up.

"Bring two more quilts!" Lin Ruhai said to the guards just now.

The guards that Xiao Zhelin assigned to Lin Ruhai were absolutely hard-working, not to mention the value of force, the key was to be obedient and do what they were asked to do.After a while, two quilts arrived, Lin Ruhai nodded secretly, and waved him back.After the guards left, Lin Ruhai looked at Xiao Cheng, pointed to the two quilts, and said, "A bed and a bed cover, can you make it yourself?"

"Master, don't worry, I can do this little thing." After speaking, he shook the quilt and spread it neatly on the small table. Lin Ruhai was completely relieved when he saw that he was doing well.He fell on the bed with his clothes on, and slowly closed his eyes.After brewing for a long time, Lin Ruhai couldn't fall asleep.Xiao Cheng's shallow snoring sound could be heard in the distance, but he just couldn't sleep.

No, no, no, don't mention how depressed you are.Didn't you sleep well in the past?Not to mention sleeping next to the pillow every day, at least I don't want to be unable to fall asleep now!What is wrong and what is wrong, Lin Ruhai tossed and turned on the bed, covering the quilt.He doesn't believe in this evil anymore, can't sleep without the arm beside him?Hmph, didn't I have a good life when I didn't have Xiao Zhelin before!

And at the moment Xiao Zhelin in the palace is not having a good time.

The quilt and pillow all had Lin Ruhai's breath, but the emptiness in his arms still made him feel disappointed.Ruhai, I seem to be more and more inseparable from you, he secretly sighed in his heart.Why, why, why did I listen to Ru Hai's one-sided words and let him go, I really... regret it!Without Ruhai, what should I do if I can't even sleep well?Xiao Zhelin hugged the quilt angrily, sniffed it fiercely, and closed his eyes to imagine it as a lover.

After a long while, Xiao Zhelin beat the bed bitterly, how can you imagine that the touch feels different?Looking up at the night sky, the bright moon like a jade plate radiates silver light, reminding him unconsciously of the past when the two of them admired the moon side by side.Lin Ruhai likes admiring the moon very much. When looking at the moonlight, his expression is soft and flat, as if he is enjoying it.Xiao Zhelin has always felt that his temperament is very similar to this faint moonlight, cold and noble, awe-inspiring, and cannot bear to be profaned.

The wind at night is often cool, even in summer.Xiao Zhelin held his lover in his arms with the reason that I was afraid of you catching a cold. At this time, Lin Ruhai was often unexpectedly good-tempered, and most of the time he defaulted to it.Xiao Zhelin loves the way he leans gently against himself, opening and closing his mouth, telling anecdotes from past and present under the moonlight.I'm thinking of you, Ruhai, what are you doing?Xiao Zhelin looked up at the bright moon hanging in the middle of the sky, thinking that Ruhai must be sleeping soundly at this moment!

Hmph, I was jumping for joy before leaving the capital, you heartless.Xiao Zhelin couldn't help but regret, maybe he was too possessive, so Ruhai always wanted to leave him.After that, should I give him more freedom, but in this case, Ruhai will definitely stay far away from me.I don't want to make my lover unhappy, and I don't want my lover to separate. Is it really a tangled problem?

Both of them are missing, and Xiao Zhelin's missing is more sad.

In fact, in the final analysis, in the competition between the two, he put himself in a humble position from the very beginning.

Forget about it, Xiao Zhelin considered the consequences, and felt that without Lin Ruhai by his side, he really couldn't live his life.Hmph, Ruhai, you wait, I will lock you in my arms for the rest of my life when you come back!You can't get out of bed every day to relieve the pain of lovesickness.Seeing that you are still running outside all day, you run!Xiao Zhelin laughed as he thought about it, hehe...hehe...if only Ruhai could be so obedient.A certain person smiled obscenely, turned over, and hugged Lin Ruhai's pillow in his arms, tightly, as if hugging the whole world.
