My sister is Bai Suzhen

After a while, the people who stretched their muscles and bones outside also came back, and the big guys sat in front of the mirror again, and another spring and autumn had passed in the mirror.

Jia Zhu's children are all born now.

Rongguo Mansion now looks like it still has some aristocratic family image, even though the old lady of their family is very fond of Jia Baoyu, at Jia Baoyu's age, it is time to go to school.

And now there is only this one son who is a direct descendant. Jia Zheng's requirements for this son are not low, at least he can't be worse than the eldest son. When I was older, I started to study the Four Books and Five Classics.He already had fame when he died.

According to Jia Zhu's age, after getting fame, others can praise him as a young man, mature or talented. After all, there are very few people in the world who can become Tanhua at such a young age as Lin Ruhai.

Thinking of Lin Ruhai, Jia Zheng sent someone out to inquire about it. Lin Ruhai had been an official in Yangzhou for six or seven years, and it was time to return to the capital at this time.

Then someone called Jia Baoyu over, and first took the books to test Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu read some poems and books at this age, and knew some characters, which made people think that the child's intelligence is still commendable.

Jia Zheng stroked his beard in satisfaction, thinking that it is not stupid for his family to raise such a child.

Although I am satisfied in my heart, I am unwilling to show this satisfaction, because I am afraid that the child will be proud and complacent.

"Go back, I'm ashamed of you. Whatever book you're reading, don't say it's reading. Just say it's playing. Only playing will suit your wishes."

Jia Baoyu was so scolded that he ran away with his head in his arms, went back and acted like a baby in front of the old lady, and was distracted by a lot of delicious food and fun, and spent the afternoon happily again. Of course, he didn't read the book.

Jia Zheng was still thinking about when his brother-in-law would return to the capital, and which family did his brother-in-law worship when he was in school?

I sent someone to inquire, but felt dissatisfied in my heart, and wrote a letter to Lin Ruhai in person, expressing my concern for my sister and my niece and niece, and said that my nephew is not too young now, so he should go to the capital Come to read.

In short, I kindly invite my brother-in-law to return to Beijing as soon as possible. If my brother-in-law can't come back, I can send my nephew to my home first. As my uncle, I supervise him to study every day, and I can send him to the Imperial College.

In the evening, Jia Zheng greeted the old lady and told about it again. The old lady was very happy to hear that, and praised her youngest son, saying that this is the way to get along with relatives, and brothers and sisters should help each other.

After more than half a month, this letter arrived in Yangzhou. After reading it, Lin Ruhai from Yangzhou felt concerned, and took this letter to find Jia Min.

The Rongguo Mansion will not send a letter from thousands of miles away. The old lady sent someone to write a letter and sent a lot of things. After I read the letter, I was more or less upset.

It happened that Lin Ruhai came back at this time, and the husband and wife sat under the lamp and took out the letter, exchanged it, and read it again.

"The old lady means that she wants to take our family's Daiyu over, and I feel a little bit reluctant." Although the old lady's ulterior motives are not about drinking, as a daughter, Jia Min doesn't think too complicated about her mother. .

Considering that the daughter is really young, the parents are not at ease to let her travel thousands of miles to the capital.

Lin Ruhai nodded after hearing this, "I also don't want to part with children, you should write to your mother-in-law and brother-in-law, saying that our old lady is not good, and the children in the family should not be too far away, this is also the way of filial piety, If you want to come to Rongguo Mansion, you can understand."

Lin Ruhai's biological mother has been in poor health for the past few years and has always been ill.

There were a few times when the old lady almost failed to make it through. Every time, the old lady called her only son to her and held hands to confess her last words, but she managed to survive again.

So again and again, although he was seriously ill and confessed his last words again and again, no one dared to slack off this matter when the next time came.

Life and death are really important matters. If you don't worry about it once, you might really regret it for the rest of your life.

Lin Ruhai is also a dutiful son, every day when he comes back from the yamen, he first visits his mother and sees the child, and then eats with his wife and prepares to rest.

Since the beginning of spring, the old lady's health has been a little bad. Apart from coming back to pay her respects at night, Lin Ruhai also went to her mother to greet her warmly before going to bed.

Now after dinner, I went to my mother's yard with a lantern.It happened that the three children were all talking and laughing in front of the old lady, and there were laughter and laughter in the room, and it seemed that they were not alone.

After Lin Ruhai came, the three children stood up quickly. The old lady wanted to talk to her son, and after sending the three grandchildren back, she called Lin Ruhai to the bedside and held her son's hand.

"I have something to tell you. Although it looked a little dangerous the first few times, I survived every time. I know my body. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this time."

Lin Ruhai hurriedly comforted the old lady, but the old lady patted her son's hand and continued talking on her own.

"Your father was worried about you when he left. Although he asked you to revive the lintel of our Marquis Mansion, I know what he thinks in his heart. We parents don't ask you to be an official and noble for the rest of your life. We only ask you to be safe and secure." stable.

You are not dishonoring your ancestors by being an official, so before you die, don’t take your father’s words to heart. Don’t keep thinking about revitalizing our Marquis Mansion. That is all in the past. As long as you Well, raise your two sons well, find a good family for my granddaughter, and live in peace for the rest of her life, better than others. "

This is also the love of the old man for his son all his life, and he can't bear to bear too much burden on his son.

Lin Ruhai agreed with a choked voice.

"Throughout my whole life, when I think back to now, I have lived a life that others envy. My natal family is rich, and I live a good life when I marry into your Lin family. Your father and I can be regarded as a husband and wife. I am proud of having you. Son, I have married a virtuous daughter-in-law like yours, and you two have two sons and one daughter, and you are better than your ancestors. I have no regrets in my heart.

I just hate that my life is too short, I will die in the next few years, maybe I can watch my son become a grandfather, and our Lin family has another generation. "

Lin Ruhai hurriedly comforted the old lady, there were several examples of almost dying of illness in front of it, and advised the old lady not to think too much.

Sure enough, the old lady didn't say anything else, looking at the dark night outside, she took her son's hand, "If I'm useless, you take me back to Gusu and bury me with your father."

This is what should be done, Lin Ruhai agreed without hesitation, and only advised the old lady to rest quickly, the children will come to say hello tomorrow.

The old man agreed, and the son helped put down the pillow and covered her with a quilt.

Lin Ruhai went out of the room and asked the maids and women to take more care of her. Don't sleep too hard at night, just stay by the bedside. If the old lady calls out when she is thirsty or hungry, they must answer quickly.

After explaining, he returned to the yard in peace, and someone knocked on the door in the middle of the night.

The maid in the old lady's yard came to report that something was wrong with the old lady.

The husband and wife hurried to the yard, and found that the three children had arrived, and the whole family was gathered around the bed. The old lady was speechless now, her face was ruddy, and her eyes were bright.

After looking at his son and daughter-in-law, the rest of his eyes were on the three children, and he reached out to the youngest grandson, and finally closed his eyes with satisfaction, and passed away.

The whole family burst into tears, and the maids hurriedly took out the filial piety clothes and white flags that had been made a few years ago.

Lin Ruhai wrote the note again in great grief, sent someone to submit it, and then sent someone back to his hometown in Suzhou to tidy up the yard.

The whole family was going back to Gusu to observe their filial piety, and Jia Min hadn't written a letter to her natal family yet, so she took the time to write it.

He left the house together with the booklet he sent to the capital.

The old lady first received the letter from her daughter, and when she saw the news of her mother's death, she only sighed once when her daughters-in-law came to pay their respects.

After a while, I heard news from outside that Lin Ruhai's book had been delivered to the emperor, and the queen mother was very sad when she heard about it.It is said that the queen mother had some friendship with the old lady of the Lin family back then, so she told the emperor that those old imperial orders from back then were gone one by one.

When I think about it, I feel like a knife is piercing my heart. Now that my old friend has passed away, I also give some things down, and let her take them away when he is buried.

The emperor knew very well what the officials did for a long time, and seeing his mother so sad, he thought that the old lady of the Lin family only had Lin Ruhai as a son, so it would be better for his mother to feel better, so he refuted Lin Ruhai's suggestion smoothly, but let He returned to his ancestral home to be an official.

This is really very considerate for Lin Ruhai, who can guard the tomb of his parents and continue to be an official.

After the news reached the Rongguo Mansion, the whole family praised the aunt for being favored by the emperor, and said that the aunt was cautious and had a good reputation as an official. The thought from the past popped up again.

I looked at the grandson who was playing with the birds in the yard, and asked someone to inquire about the two grandsons who have started to go to school now.

He called his son and daughter-in-law over.

"The children of your younger sister's family also know the basics. Although we are not interested in making baby marriages, we should have that meaning earlier and let your younger sister know about it earlier. When the two children grow up, we will put this It's done."

Jia Zheng felt that this idea was quite reliable.

Mrs. Wang felt that something was inappropriate. The little girl from the Lin family had never seen Yuan or Bian, so how could she make a hasty appointment with Baoyu, even just to say hello.There is no good reason to reject the mother-in-law in a hurry.

I have to use the funeral that the Lin family is doing now as an excuse.

"Even if the old lady has the heart, don't say it now. Their family is doing white things. Even if our aunt is willing, the aunt is suffering. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to say it at this time."

Seeing that her son and daughter-in-law did not object, the old lady nodded in satisfaction.

"I also know what you said, first send someone to mourn the funeral, and find a few confidantes to tell your sister slowly when you go, then we will write another letter and talk to your brother-in-law in person.

There is a female family in the family. If you meet a good boy, you should talk about it early. If you are late, you are afraid that others will make a decision. "
