When Jia Lian heard Mr. Tan asking why they didn't rest, he was afraid that Baoyu would suddenly say that he and Zhen Lang had met to swim the Qinhuai River. It’s passed, and people have seen it, we two should calm down and prepare for the government examination.”
It is reasonable to say that, after all, it is not easy for the two of them to go back to Jinling from Beijing, especially Baoyu is still seasick, so it is best to pass it once.Mr. Tan also nodded.Baoyu saw that Jia Lian was covering up deliberately, so he nodded with a smile on his face.
Mr. Tan is a person who often raises his head, can't you see that Jia Lian is a little anxious and Baoyu's expression is a little different from usual?Mr. Tan did not ask questions immediately, but asked the two of them to go back and rest quickly. From tomorrow onwards, they will not be able to go out again. People who don’t give up halfway, naturally understand this truth.”
Baoyu also agreed. Jia Lian felt bitter but couldn't tell it.Waiting for everyone to go back to the room, Baoyu Hou saw that Jia Lian had already rested, so he called Mingyan and asked him to go to Mr. Tan to see if he had rested. Xiao, Baoyu is a brother, so it's hard to say anything, but Mr. Tan can make one or two out of it.
Mr. Tan will not rest like this, he is also waiting for Baoyu.After hearing Baoyu's reason for coming, he asked thoughtfully: "Second Master Lian is at this age and has been away from home for such a long time. It's okay to go and see Qinhuai Fengyue. Why is Second Master Bao so worried?"
No wonder you can rest assured.It was not easy for Jia Lian to become an upright gentleman in this life. If in Jinling City he regained his greedy and lustful temperament, wouldn't Baoyu's original efforts be in vain?
He said to Mr. Tan with a serious face: "Mr. knows that the second elder brother is the next head of our Rongguo Mansion. In the future, the future of the mansion is closely related to those of us who live in the mansion." So I still hope that the second elder brother Lian can always keep himself upright. Besides, the second sister-in-law's natal family will not be willing to let the second elder brother Lian go in and out of such a place."
Mr. Tan tentatively said: "Speaking of the position of the head of the family, it is also occupied by virtuous people. You are higher than your Lian's second brother at a young age, don't you have any ideas?"
To such a temptation, Baoyu replied without hesitation: "A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. If it is not his own, even if it is calculated into his own hands, how can he enjoy it with peace of mind?"
Mr. Tan nodded, he was very impressed by the young man who determined to be a gentleman.He only said that he had his own idea, but he refused to reveal to Baoyu what that idea was.
It was only a day or two before Jia Lian was brought back from outside in disgrace by Mr. Tan.Baoyu couldn't find out about the middle process, but Mingyan listened to it and said that Xing'er didn't know why and asked Jia Lian to reward the board.
After that, Jia Lian and Baoyu warmed up the book together again.But judging by the thickness of his book and the number of calligraphy exercises, it is more than double that of Baoyu's.How did Baoyu not know that Mr. Tan was punishing him?It's just pretending not to know, just reading at my own pace.
April is the government examination, and Jia Lian and Baoyu passed the examination again.Jia Lian won more than 40, while Baoyu still maintained the No.6 ranking.Speaking of which, both of them are already Tongsheng.
Even Mr. Tan refused to let the two of them return to Beijing at this time. He personally wrote a letter to Jia Amnesty, saying that he would take the two of them to the next year's annual examination.No matter how worried Jia's mother was, she was beyond her reach, so she had no choice but to worry.
Lin Ruhai also got the news over there. Hearing that the two nephews were so motivated, he sent a letter to congratulate him, and strongly urged them to go to his office for a while.Baoyu was afraid that he would get seasick, so he didn't want to go, but Mr. Tan said to him: "The court examination is scheduled for June next year, and there will be more than a year in between. If I stay in Jinling City all the time, I'm afraid it will be a waste of all kinds of communication. You can no longer evade it by attacking the book. The second master Lian is the master after all, and it is not as convenient for me as Mr. Lin to take care of it."
As soon as Baoyu heard it, he knew that it was Mr. Tan's intention to separate Jia Lian from the Zhen family.In the original book, the Zhen family ransacked their home earlier than the Rongguo Mansion, so it is better to be far away than to be close.In the long run, what is seasickness?Baoyu could only nod his head in response.
Needless to say, I have worked hard all the way.As far as Yangzhou was concerned, servants from the Lin family came to pick him up, and the three of them came to the Lin residence together with their followers.There were quite a few people in that house, but because there was no mistress, it looked a bit deserted.
No wonder Lin Ruhai left so early in the original book, no matter who worked hard and didn't see a relative when he returned home, he couldn't feel happy.Baoyu didn't care whether Lin Ruhai died because of the power struggle between the old and new emperors, he had already given this person a health card in this life, and he always wanted to let him live by himself and be a backer for Daiyu himself.
Therefore, when Baoyu saw Lin Ruhai, he put on a smile on his always stern face, and acted like a child, which made Jia Lian feel quite incredible.
Lin Ruhai treated the two nephews as one, after having a meal together, he wanted to quiz them on their homework.When Baoyu was young, he was more flexible than Jia Lian in his knowledge, which made Lin Ruhai more satisfied.He also thought that Jia Lian would eventually be the next head of the Rongguo Mansion, so if Daiyu were to marry in the future, she would have two more cousins to support her.
Therefore, Lin Ruhai said to Mr. Tan: "Mr. taught Lian'er so well, which made me jealous. There are so many things in my yamen, and I just need someone close and trustworthy to run errands. I don't know if Mr. Are you willing to part with me and let Lian'er share my worries?"
Running errands for officials is not the same as Jia Lian's foreign affairs for the Rongguo Mansion in the original book.Mr. Tan also knew that Lin Ruhai intended to cultivate Jia Lian, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "Master Lin intends to teach his nephew, it is the good luck of the second master Lian. Why do students not want to give up their love?"
Lin Ruhai probed again: "It's a pity to only teach Lian'er because you are a great talent. It's better to walk around with me for a while."
However, Mr. Tan shook his head and said: "I had a lot of trust from the old master of the country, and when I was thinking of repaying him, I met the old master's fairy. She didn't dislike the master, and appointed me to teach the second master Lian, so I dared not give up halfway."
Lin Ruhai couldn't help nodding his head in praise, and said to Jia Lian, "It's Lian'er's blessing that you have been taught by Mr. Tan. You will succeed in the future because of the strength of your teacher's teaching. You will be a teacher for a day and a father for life, and Lian'er must not forget it. "
After listening to the conversation between the two, Jia Lian didn't know whether it was good or bad?He got up and thanked both of them.Baoyu interjected next to him and said, "My uncle is too partial. Why did you only bring Lian's second brother with you and not me?"
Lin Ruhai laughed and said: "How old are you, can you ride a horse or convince people? Honestly, it is serious to study with Mr. Tan at home."
Baoyu pouted on one side, looking unhappy.Even when Daiyu was at home, she seldom behaved like a child, which made Lin Ruhai feel hot.He was born as a scholar, he expressed his kindness to a person, and he is also a nephew who seems to be quite promising, so he mainly has strict requirements:
"You don't have to be dissatisfied. Although your second elder brother Lian's test scores are not as good as yours twice, but you are far behind you in terms of human relations. It can be seen that Mr. Tan has taught us well. Now I will let your second elder brother Lian follow me to face the official Walking around is also to allow him to make more contacts. You should learn more from Mr. Tan in the mansion, it will be to your benefit."
Baoyu also nodded, thinking that if Lin Ruhai could teach Jia Lian himself, Jia Lian's road to becoming an official would be much smoother in the future.Even Mr. Tan wants to see what this Baoyu has learned, why he doesn't show it on weekdays, and if he takes an exam, he will be better than Jia Lian?
In this way, everyone belongs to each other. Jia Lian and Lin Ruhai go to the government every day to receive official education in advance, while Baoyu faces Mr. Tan's teachings and temptations from time to time, fighting wits and courage in various ways.Even Lin Ruhai felt that since the arrival of the two nephews, his house has become much more lively and angry.
Unknowingly, it's the time of the year again, and Baoyu has grown a lot this year, and she can't wear the clothes she brought.The Lin family also had their own needleworkers, who prepared their autumn and winter clothes early.Even in the Rongguo Mansion, when they learned that the two young masters in their family were at the uncle's house, they also sent their new clothes to Yangzhou.
Just before the New Year's Eve, Lin Ruhai sighed to Mr. Tan: "After my wife left, I spent every New Year's Eve alone. I didn't expect this year to be so lively."
Mr. Tan raised his glass to Lin Ruhai and said, "Your Excellency feels deserted, why don't you find a way to find a job in Beijing? Not to mention being able to be with Miss, even walking around Rongguo Mansion, it will be more lively on weekdays."
These words hit Baoyu's heart, he knew that Lin Ruhai had successfully escaped from the quagmire of Yanzheng.It can be seen that it is not lack of ability, but how Lin Ruhai himself chooses.
This is also the reason why Baoyu had to act like a child when he came to Yangzhou.He had to let Lin Ruhai feel the happiness of family and family, and have more nostalgia for this world, so that he would no longer have the heart to show his ambition by death.
But Lin Ruhai's face gradually sank after listening to Mr. Tan's question: "Mr. said, how can Ruhai not think about it. Just say that my daughter is younger than Baoyu, so I am not willing to let her live in the house all the time. Grandmother's house. But the king's order must not be violated."
Mr. Tan also sighed when he heard it, so it's hard to say more.Taking advantage of his young age, Baoyu asked aloud, "My uncle has been an official in the Yan government for four or five years. I heard that there is no one who does not praise my uncle's loyalty to the king. Even a loyal person, even a sage Are you willing to let my uncle accompany the king by your side and be a counselor more on weekdays?"
It's okay not to talk, but let's talk about Lin Ruhai's dissatisfaction with the saint: the original salt administration was mostly controlled by the prince's disciples, and I don't know how many people were detained in the middle.It's because he can't see it now that Lin Ruhai has to gather the Yanzheng.
Over the years, how much thought has he spent, how many plots have he and his family been subjected to, and how many princes and officials have been offended?But now, while collecting money, he turned a blind eye to his situation, as if he didn't know that he was facing life and death.In addition to asking him to collect salt tax or salt tax on weekdays, it is rare to even get a reward.
It can be said that as long as the day comes when he has to hand over the throne, no matter which prince takes the throne, Lin Ruhai will not be in trouble.Knowing his situation, he reluctantly took his daughter away with Jia Lian, just to save her life.
Who knew that these days, seeing Baoyu joking in front of him from time to time, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but think, if his daughter was by his side and encountered the same thing, what would he say to him, would she act coquettishly like Baoyu?
The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, Lin Ruhai picked up a glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp.Jia Lian gave Baoyu a secret look, and said to Lin Ruhai, "Uncle, don't worry too much about it. To be honest, I think Uncle is really tired after working with Uncle these days. It means that Uncle has a good foundation, otherwise Who can stand it. If you want to come to the saint, you see that uncle is too capable, and he is afraid that other people will not be able to work as hard as uncle."
Lin Ruhai also knew that Jia Lian was consoling herself, and said with a smile, "Speaking of my health, it turns out that my body is not good. Who knows that last year Daiyu got the peace talisman that Baoyu asked for, and the letter must let me wear it every day, saying It’s great that she can get it herself.”
"I was just trying it out. Who knew that this year, my body would get better day by day. Even with the busyness at the end of the year, I used to always get sick for a few days after being busy, but this year, nothing happened. "
When Jia Lian heard about it, she also smiled: "I don't know what kind of fate this kid has with Zhang Shenxian. Zhang Shenxian doesn't usually draw charms with others, but he will give it when he asks for it. It turns out that Big Brother Zhu is not in good health." He begged for one when he was less than three years old, and Big Brother Zhu will be fine."
"Also, sister Lin went to the mansion. Seeing that this kid doesn't pay much attention to sister Lin on weekdays, he also asked for a talisman for sister Lin. My sister's body has also seen her health. I didn't expect my uncle to agree. "
Lin Ruhai heard that Baoyu didn't pay much attention to Daiyu on weekdays, so he was not at ease at first, but after thinking about it later, he realized that he had wrongly blamed other children. Long past the age of seven years old.
But even so, the other's child still misses his daughter and his body, so it can be seen that he is careful and attaches great importance to family affection.
Mr. Tan also talked about how Baoyu asked him to persuade Jia Lian, and also talked about his theory that Jia Lian is the future head of the family and must stand upright.Hearing this, Lin Ruhai has a great affection for Baoyu.
Who knows that Jia Lian knew how he caught Mr. Tan right that time, and stared at Baoyu.Seeing that he didn't care how old Baoyu was, he raised his wine glass and said to Baoyu:
"I really don't want Baoyu to have such a heart. I'm really moved to be my brother. Come, come, come, brother toast you."
Baoyu looked at Jia Lian with an innocent face: "What did the second elder brother say? Who made us brothers? Isn't this what I should do as a brother? This is also worthy of my second elder brother's respect. Isn't this what makes us brothers?" Uneasy?"
Lin Ruhai had already said to Jia Lian, "Lian'er is messing around. Baoyu is only so old, so let him drink."
Jia Lian was just angry with the boy for making himself angry, and wanted to let him know how powerful he was, so he wouldn't let Baoyu really drink.Hearing what Lin Ruhai said, he laughed like a donkey and said, "My uncle loves Baoyu so much, it's a good thing that I serve my uncle like a saddle."
Baoyu smiled and said, "If you really want to serve uncle for a long time, you might as well send a letter to your sister-in-law's family, seeing that there is a chance to speak for uncle, so that uncle can return to Beijing earlier, so that we don't all worry about it." Uncle, besides, after we leave, won't Uncle feel lonely too?"
Jia Lian patted the table and said, "Well, this sentence hits the point. I'll write a letter to uncle tomorrow."
Lin Ruhai still wanted to stop him, but remembered that Jia Lian's uncle was once Jane's figure in the emperor's heart, maybe he could really give it a try.It's not that I can't think of other ways.If he could really return to Beijing, even if he was an idle official of the Hanlin Academy, or directly became an official, as long as he stayed with his daughter, it would be fine.
Mr. Tan also saw Lin Ruhai's thoughts, and said to him: "Second Master Lian's letter is certainly one aspect, Mr. Lin should also mention his difficulties to the saint. People say that crying children have milk. , if Master Lin himself doesn’t say anything, the saint would think that Master Lin is doing his job well here.”
Lin Ruhai also nodded thoughtfully.
After the New Year's Eve, just after the first month of the lunar year, there was news from the old house that the seeds that Second Master Bao asked to find had been found.Baoyu couldn't stay still, and insisted that Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian must return to Jinling.
The things he asked people to find were not rare, but just like Jia Daishan, they asked people to find some corn and potato seeds.
He is a person with planting skills, and besides, this thing survives better in the south than in the north, so it is easier to see success.At that time, it will be another trump card for Rongguo Mansion. When the royal family ransacks Rongguo Mansion's home, think about how the world can stop it.
Now that Lin Ruhai is added to be drawn into Beijing, Baoyu has a bold idea, that is, to give Lin Ruhai a share of the credit. If the Zhang family fails to work, in order to promote this thing, the emperor Lin Ruhai must also be replaced from the salt administration.
After making up his mind, Baoyu walked to Lin Ruhai's study alone.Seeing him coming alone, Lin Ruhai asked, "Have you packed all your things?"
Baoyu nodded and said, "Thank you uncle for your concern. I have packed it up. It's not that my nephew doesn't want to be filial in front of my uncle. It's just that compared with what my nephew asked people to find, my nephew's filial piety with my uncle is far worse than that." Two things are related to the common people in the world."
Lin Ruhai laughed and said: "You are here again. You are so old, you are talking about the common people in the world. I know you still think that I restrain you. Why don't you go back to Jinling, and Lian'er can't do anything about you."
Baoyu also knew that the last two sentences were just joking, so she didn't care and said: "Uncle, does he know that if the two things that my nephew asked people to find, if they can be obtained separately, how much can be produced per mu?"
Lin Ruhai shook his head: "I've never seen those two things you mentioned, so how can I know how much a mu yields?"
Baoyu looked into Lin Ruhai's eyes: "If the corn is in the north, it can produce about [-] catties. But if it is in our side, my nephew is not sure. And the potatoes, they don't pick the land, they can be harvested from the field. It can be planted and can produce a similar amount.”
Lin Ruhai had already stood up: "Are you telling the truth? You haven't even been to Zhuangzi, so how can you know the production of these two things? No, didn't you just ask someone to find these two things? It can be seen that it is nonsense .”
Only then did Baoyu realize that he had always felt that he had overlooked something and what it was these two days: this life is not Jia Daishan's life, and he is not now Jia Daishan's confidant who is highly trusted in front of the emperor.And Lin Ruhai is so particular about making decisions before acting, he will never believe in himself just because he said a few words.
Alas, Baoyu sighed in his heart, he was going to break the layout of the magic stick, but now he has to fill the magic stick first.
I saw his face became more solemn: "Uncle also knows that I have never been to the farm, let alone how I know how to grow crops. It is almost the same if the five grains are not distinguished."
Lin Ruhai smiled when he heard this: "You also know that you don't know the difference between five grains."
Baoyu ignored his ridicule and said to himself: "But my uncle doesn't doubt it. How come I know these two things and ask people to look for them, and they found them. Do you even know the yield?"
Lin Ruhai looked at Baoyu with deep eyes: "Yes, how do you know these two things and their production?"
Baoyu did not answer, but continued to ask: "If I tell my uncle that I not only know the yield of these two things, but also how to cultivate them, will my uncle believe it?"
Lin Ruhai looked at Baoyu fixedly, did not speak for a long time, but did not move his eyes away.Baoyu looked at Lin Ruhai in the same way, without blinking or avoiding her eyes, letting Lin Ruhai look at herself.
After a long time, Lin Ruhai asked, "How do you know?"
Baoyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I knew it in my dream."
If Baoyu had said that he knew it in a dream from the very beginning, Lin Ruhai would have scolded him for being absurd, and maybe he would have to act like an elder to punish him.But just now Baoyu said that not only did he know these two things, but he also asked people to look for them, and he really found them. This has already convinced Lin Ruhai for the most part.
In addition, when Baoyu and Lin Ruhai looked at each other just now, his eyes were full of sincerity, which made Lin Ruhai believe him eight percent.Thinking about the safety talisman on himself and his daughter, it is also quite miraculous, and Lin Ruhai has to give two points to it.
He nodded to Baoyu: "Just say that you know how to farm, and tell me."
Baoyu knew about this, and he started talking to Lin Ruhai, from how to breed, how to thin seedlings, how to weed, and how to store, it was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
After Lin Ruhai finished listening, she pondered for a while: "Is this really what you saw in your dream?"
Baoyu nodded again: "It is indeed what my nephew saw in my dream. It's just that my nephew was afraid of forgetting, so I wrote it down quietly, and secretly asked people to look for these two things. My nephew thought, but if I can't find it, it's just A dream, my little nephew does not hinder anything. But I found it, but it is something that can save people's lives. People say that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Passing such things to others can be regarded as accumulating blessings for the family Nope."
It is reasonable to say that, after all, it is not easy for the two of them to go back to Jinling from Beijing, especially Baoyu is still seasick, so it is best to pass it once.Mr. Tan also nodded.Baoyu saw that Jia Lian was covering up deliberately, so he nodded with a smile on his face.
Mr. Tan is a person who often raises his head, can't you see that Jia Lian is a little anxious and Baoyu's expression is a little different from usual?Mr. Tan did not ask questions immediately, but asked the two of them to go back and rest quickly. From tomorrow onwards, they will not be able to go out again. People who don’t give up halfway, naturally understand this truth.”
Baoyu also agreed. Jia Lian felt bitter but couldn't tell it.Waiting for everyone to go back to the room, Baoyu Hou saw that Jia Lian had already rested, so he called Mingyan and asked him to go to Mr. Tan to see if he had rested. Xiao, Baoyu is a brother, so it's hard to say anything, but Mr. Tan can make one or two out of it.

As soon as Baoyu heard it, he knew that it was Mr. Tan's intention to separate Jia Lian from the Zhen family.In the original book, the Zhen family ransacked their home earlier than the Rongguo Mansion, so it is better to be far away than to be close.In the long run, what is seasickness?Baoyu could only nod his head in response.
Needless to say, I have worked hard all the way.As far as Yangzhou was concerned, servants from the Lin family came to pick him up, and the three of them came to the Lin residence together with their followers.There were quite a few people in that house, but because there was no mistress, it looked a bit deserted.
No wonder Lin Ruhai left so early in the original book, no matter who worked hard and didn't see a relative when he returned home, he couldn't feel happy.Baoyu didn't care whether Lin Ruhai died because of the power struggle between the old and new emperors, he had already given this person a health card in this life, and he always wanted to let him live by himself and be a backer for Daiyu himself.

This is also the reason why Baoyu had to act like a child when he came to Yangzhou.He had to let Lin Ruhai feel the happiness of family and family, and have more nostalgia for this world, so that he would no longer have the heart to show his ambition by death.
But Lin Ruhai's face gradually sank after listening to Mr. Tan's question: "Mr. said, how can Ruhai not think about it. Just say that my daughter is younger than Baoyu, so I am not willing to let her live in the house all the time. Grandmother's house. But the king's order must not be violated."
Mr. Tan also sighed when he heard it, so it's hard to say more.Taking advantage of his young age, Baoyu asked aloud, "My uncle has been an official in the Yan government for four or five years. I heard that there is no one who does not praise my uncle's loyalty to the king. Even a loyal person, even a sage Are you willing to let my uncle accompany the king by your side and be a counselor more on weekdays?"
It's okay not to talk, but let's talk about Lin Ruhai's dissatisfaction with the saint: the original salt administration was mostly controlled by the prince's disciples, and I don't know how many people were detained in the middle.It's because he can't see it now that Lin Ruhai has to gather the Yanzheng.
Over the years, how much thought has he spent, how many plots have he and his family been subjected to, and how many princes and officials have been offended?But now, while collecting money, he turned a blind eye to his situation, as if he didn't know that he was facing life and death.In addition to asking him to collect salt tax or salt tax on weekdays, it is rare to even get a reward.
It can be said that as long as the day comes when he has to hand over the throne, no matter which prince takes the throne, Lin Ruhai will not be in trouble.Knowing his situation, he reluctantly took his daughter away with Jia Lian, just to save her life.
Who knew that these days, seeing Baoyu joking in front of him from time to time, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but think, if his daughter was by his side and encountered the same thing, what would he say to him, would she act coquettishly like Baoyu?
The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, Lin Ruhai picked up a glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp.Jia Lian gave Baoyu a secret look, and said to Lin Ruhai, "Uncle, don't worry too much about it. To be honest, I think Uncle is really tired after working with Uncle these days. It means that Uncle has a good foundation, otherwise Who can stand it. If you want to come to the saint, you see that uncle is too capable, and he is afraid that other people will not be able to work as hard as uncle."
Lin Ruhai also knew that Jia Lian was consoling herself, and said with a smile, "Speaking of my health, it turns out that my body is not good. Who knows that last year Daiyu got the peace talisman that Baoyu asked for, and the letter must let me wear it every day, saying It’s great that she can get it herself.”
"I was just trying it out. Who knew that this year, my body would get better day by day. Even with the busyness at the end of the year, I used to always get sick for a few days after being busy, but this year, nothing happened. "
When Jia Lian heard about it, she also smiled: "I don't know what kind of fate this kid has with Zhang Shenxian. Zhang Shenxian doesn't usually draw charms with others, but he will give it when he asks for it. It turns out that Big Brother Zhu is not in good health." He begged for one when he was less than three years old, and Big Brother Zhu will be fine."
"Also, sister Lin went to the mansion. Seeing that this kid doesn't pay much attention to sister Lin on weekdays, he also asked for a talisman for sister Lin. My sister's body has also seen her health. I didn't expect my uncle to agree. "
Lin Ruhai heard that Baoyu didn't pay much attention to Daiyu on weekdays, so he was not at ease at first, but after thinking about it later, he realized that he had wrongly blamed other children. Long past the age of seven years old.
But even so, the other's child still misses his daughter and his body, so it can be seen that he is careful and attaches great importance to family affection.
Mr. Tan also talked about how Baoyu asked him to persuade Jia Lian, and also talked about his theory that Jia Lian is the future head of the family and must stand upright.Hearing this, Lin Ruhai has a great affection for Baoyu.
Who knows that Jia Lian knew how he caught Mr. Tan right that time, and stared at Baoyu.Seeing that he didn't care how old Baoyu was, he raised his wine glass and said to Baoyu:
"I really don't want Baoyu to have such a heart. I'm really moved to be my brother. Come, come, come, brother toast you."
Baoyu looked at Jia Lian with an innocent face: "What did the second elder brother say? Who made us brothers? Isn't this what I should do as a brother? This is also worthy of my second elder brother's respect. Isn't this what makes us brothers?" Uneasy?"
Lin Ruhai had already said to Jia Lian, "Lian'er is messing around. Baoyu is only so old, so let him drink."
Jia Lian was just angry with the boy for making himself angry, and wanted to let him know how powerful he was, so he wouldn't let Baoyu really drink.Hearing what Lin Ruhai said, he laughed like a donkey and said, "My uncle loves Baoyu so much, it's a good thing that I serve my uncle like a saddle."
Baoyu smiled and said, "If you really want to serve uncle for a long time, you might as well send a letter to your sister-in-law's family, seeing that there is a chance to speak for uncle, so that uncle can return to Beijing earlier, so that we don't all worry about it." Uncle, besides, after we leave, won't Uncle feel lonely too?"
Jia Lian patted the table and said, "Well, this sentence hits the point. I'll write a letter to uncle tomorrow."
Lin Ruhai still wanted to stop him, but remembered that Jia Lian's uncle was once Jane's figure in the emperor's heart, maybe he could really give it a try.It's not that I can't think of other ways.If he could really return to Beijing, even if he was an idle official of the Hanlin Academy, or directly became an official, as long as he stayed with his daughter, it would be fine.
Mr. Tan also saw Lin Ruhai's thoughts, and said to him: "Second Master Lian's letter is certainly one aspect, Mr. Lin should also mention his difficulties to the saint. People say that crying children have milk. , if Master Lin himself doesn’t say anything, the saint would think that Master Lin is doing his job well here.”
Lin Ruhai also nodded thoughtfully.
After the New Year's Eve, just after the first month of the lunar year, there was news from the old house that the seeds that Second Master Bao asked to find had been found.Baoyu couldn't stay still, and insisted that Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian must return to Jinling.
The things he asked people to find were not rare, but just like Jia Daishan, they asked people to find some corn and potato seeds.
He is a person with planting skills, and besides, this thing survives better in the south than in the north, so it is easier to see success.At that time, it will be another trump card for Rongguo Mansion. When the royal family ransacks Rongguo Mansion's home, think about how the world can stop it.
Now that Lin Ruhai is added to be drawn into Beijing, Baoyu has a bold idea, that is, to give Lin Ruhai a share of the credit. If the Zhang family fails to work, in order to promote this thing, the emperor Lin Ruhai must also be replaced from the salt administration.
After making up his mind, Baoyu walked to Lin Ruhai's study alone.Seeing him coming alone, Lin Ruhai asked, "Have you packed all your things?"
Baoyu nodded and said, "Thank you uncle for your concern. I have packed it up. It's not that my nephew doesn't want to be filial in front of my uncle. It's just that compared with what my nephew asked people to find, my nephew's filial piety with my uncle is far worse than that." Two things are related to the common people in the world."
Lin Ruhai laughed and said: "You are here again. You are so old, you are talking about the common people in the world. I know you still think that I restrain you. Why don't you go back to Jinling, and Lian'er can't do anything about you."
Baoyu also knew that the last two sentences were just joking, so she didn't care and said: "Uncle, does he know that if the two things that my nephew asked people to find, if they can be obtained separately, how much can be produced per mu?"
Lin Ruhai shook his head: "I've never seen those two things you mentioned, so how can I know how much a mu yields?"
Baoyu looked into Lin Ruhai's eyes: "If the corn is in the north, it can produce about [-] catties. But if it is in our side, my nephew is not sure. And the potatoes, they don't pick the land, they can be harvested from the field. It can be planted and can produce a similar amount.”
Lin Ruhai had already stood up: "Are you telling the truth? You haven't even been to Zhuangzi, so how can you know the production of these two things? No, didn't you just ask someone to find these two things? It can be seen that it is nonsense .”
Only then did Baoyu realize that he had always felt that he had overlooked something and what it was these two days: this life is not Jia Daishan's life, and he is not now Jia Daishan's confidant who is highly trusted in front of the emperor.And Lin Ruhai is so particular about making decisions before acting, he will never believe in himself just because he said a few words.
Alas, Baoyu sighed in his heart, he was going to break the layout of the magic stick, but now he has to fill the magic stick first.
I saw his face became more solemn: "Uncle also knows that I have never been to the farm, let alone how I know how to grow crops. It is almost the same if the five grains are not distinguished."
Lin Ruhai smiled when he heard this: "You also know that you don't know the difference between five grains."
Baoyu ignored his ridicule and said to himself: "But my uncle doesn't doubt it. How come I know these two things and ask people to look for them, and they found them. Do you even know the yield?"
Lin Ruhai looked at Baoyu with deep eyes: "Yes, how do you know these two things and their production?"
Baoyu did not answer, but continued to ask: "If I tell my uncle that I not only know the yield of these two things, but also how to cultivate them, will my uncle believe it?"
Lin Ruhai looked at Baoyu fixedly, did not speak for a long time, but did not move his eyes away.Baoyu looked at Lin Ruhai in the same way, without blinking or avoiding her eyes, letting Lin Ruhai look at herself.
After a long time, Lin Ruhai asked, "How do you know?"
Baoyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I knew it in my dream."
If Baoyu had said that he knew it in a dream from the very beginning, Lin Ruhai would have scolded him for being absurd, and maybe he would have to act like an elder to punish him.But just now Baoyu said that not only did he know these two things, but he also asked people to look for them, and he really found them. This has already convinced Lin Ruhai for the most part.
In addition, when Baoyu and Lin Ruhai looked at each other just now, his eyes were full of sincerity, which made Lin Ruhai believe him eight percent.Thinking about the safety talisman on himself and his daughter, it is also quite miraculous, and Lin Ruhai has to give two points to it.
He nodded to Baoyu: "Just say that you know how to farm, and tell me."
Baoyu knew about this, and he started talking to Lin Ruhai, from how to breed, how to thin seedlings, how to weed, and how to store, it was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
After Lin Ruhai finished listening, she pondered for a while: "Is this really what you saw in your dream?"
Baoyu nodded again: "It is indeed what my nephew saw in my dream. It's just that my nephew was afraid of forgetting, so I wrote it down quietly, and secretly asked people to look for these two things. My nephew thought, but if I can't find it, it's just A dream, my little nephew does not hinder anything. But I found it, but it is something that can save people's lives. People say that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Passing such things to others can be regarded as accumulating blessings for the family Nope."
