The Love of the Red Chamber

The spring of the 37th year of Kangxi

In the south of the Yangtze River, the grass grows and the warbler flies in March. It is the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom. There is a faint fragrance of flowers everywhere, which is light red.A gust of breeze brings up a burst of fallen flowers.

In the depths of the peach blossoms, it is a scene of harmony and harmony.

"Yu'er...come to Mother. Don't run too far."

A child carved in pink and jade with a bouquet of peach blossoms rushed towards the beautiful woman in lavender, "Mother, the flowers Yu'er gave to mother." The beautiful woman took the beautiful peach blossoms and put them in front of her. He took a sip of fragrance and smiled, "Yu'er is so good, she is really my mother's treasure." The elegant middle-aged man sitting on the side held a book in his hand, but his eyes looked at the mother and daughter from time to time. Full of pampering.Seeing that the two were happy, she said with some taste, "Yu'er only gave flowers to mother, did she forget about father?" The girl giggled and turned around and threw herself into her father's arms coquettishly, "Mother likes flowers Son, if Yu'er is happy for your mother, your father will be happy too." Although the girl is young, she has picturesque features, and under her curly and long eyelashes are a pair of clear eyes like a clear spring.There is a noble and refined temperament blooming between the eyebrows and eyes that resemble his mother. It is conceivable that in a few years, she will be a magnificent and pretty woman.

"Master, are you still arguing with your daughter at such an adult?"

The middle-aged man looked helplessly at the two women he loved the most in this world, and could only sigh, "You guys..."

Holding his daughter beside him and sitting on his lap, the man lowered his head and said, "Since Yu'er has planted peach blossoms and came back, I will recite a poem about peach blossoms for Daddy to listen to."

Xiao Yuer tilted her head and blinked her clear eyes cutely. The man smiled and said, "Could it be that Yu'er has a bad memory and can't remember?" You don't just pick up people's teeth." The man was surprised, but amused, and said, "Could it be that Yu'er plans to make a song for daddy? Well, daddy won't laugh at you if you don't do well."

"Daddy is mean!" Xiao Yu'er made a cute face, but it made the husband and wife laugh again.

"February spring returns to rainy days,

Peach Blossom feels like a passing year.

There are still three thousand trees in the red,

It's not as good as the first fresh flower. "(1. The "Inscription on Peach Trees" by Yuan Mei in the Qing Dynasty doesn't seem to be suitable for the occasion. Fenghuang's poetry is incompetent. The Peach Blossom Order of the sister of Dream of the Red Chamber is obviously not suitable for current use. I have to emulate it. Run away~~~~)

"Haha, it's not as good as the first fresh flower. Ruhai, you are a wonderful girl." When Lin Ruhai was surprised by the poems uttered by his daughter in the middle-aged man, the one in the forest was more majestic but more joyful. sounded.He quickly turned his head to look at Lin Ruhai, but was taken aback. He hugged his daughter and stood up to greet him, "Grassman Lin Ruhai welcomes..."

"That's all, you don't need to be too polite outside." A middle-aged man in his forties walked in, full of energy, walking like a tiger, naturally exuding a noble aura of dominating the world.Lin Ruhai is not a pedantic person, so he naturally knows how inconvenient it is to be outside, so he just bowed and gave a slight salute, "I've seen the master."

The man smiled and said: "You husband and wife are at ease, is Mrs. Lin okay?" The expression of Mrs. Lin standing on the side is not a good word, but she is indifferent to the noble man. He snorted coldly, and the man didn't blame him, so he could only smile wryly.Lin Ruhai said helplessly: "Master, forgive me. Min'er has always been..." What has always been?Lin Ruhai couldn't say it himself, his wife has always been gentle and gentle, how could he be willing to say anything bad about her?But the man waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I know she never wants to see me, and there are no outsiders here, what are you doing with these vain rituals?" If there are outsiders here, they must be surprised.After all, I, there is only one person in the world who can use this title.That is the most honorable person in the Forbidden City, the ruler of the world.Emperor Kangxi of the current dynasty.Unfortunately, apart from the three members of the Lin family, there are only two men, one old and one young, following behind the man.The old man was about 50 or 20 years old, but he had a white face and no beard, and stood respectfully with his hands down.The boy was about [-] years old, but his handsome eyes showed a bit of indifference and aloofness.

Mrs. Lin obviously disliked Kangxi very much.Wei Weifu turned around and saw the ceremony, and was about to retreat.Lin Ruhai couldn't force her, so he had to tell her to rest well.After seeing Mrs. Lin away, Kangxi looked curiously at Yu'er in Lin Ruhai's arms, and said with a smile, "This is your daughter-in-law? What's her name?" Ruhai hugged her daughter proudly and smiled, "Little girl Dai Yu. Yuer, I have seen the master." Although the little Daiyu is only six years old, she is already very polite. She looks at the few people in front of her with some curiosity, without any fear, "Daiyu has seen the master." Kangxi looked Seeing this girl who was carved like a jade, she liked it very much, pretending to be angry and said: "What kind of master, it's called Uncle."

Daiyu turned her head to see her father nodding, and then obediently called her uncle.He tore off a piece of jade from Kangxi's body happily and hung it on Daiyu's body.Lin Ruhai had a deep relationship with Kangxi, so he didn't care about these extraneous things, so he just asked Daiyu to thank him.Kangxi sighed: "You are still lucky. Look at your Yu'er, who is so cute. Unlike my family, this kid is very yin and yang. It makes me feel depressed." He turned his head and stared behind him. teenager glance.Lin Ruhai was startled. From the very beginning, he noticed that the boy's demeanor was not ordinary, but he didn't expect that Kangxi's micro-clothes brought out not a guard but a prince, "This... is the fourth son? Lin Ruhai is being polite. "Kangxi now has many princes under his knees, but there are only two or three of the same age.The third prince, Yinzhi, and the fifth prince, Yinqi, have a gentle personality, not so cold and harsh.The seventh prince is said to be disabled, so the person in front of him is naturally the fourth prince Yinzhen.

"Mr. Lin is Ama's old friend, so there is no need to be so polite." Yinzhen said lightly.

The host and guest were seated, watching Lin Ruhai carefully holding his daughter with a look of love like a treasure, Kangxi had a joyful smile in his eyes, for the happy life of his old friend from childhood.Standing behind Kangxi, Yinzhen looked deeply at the jade girl in Lin Ruhai's arms, with a hint of envy in his eyes.Seeing this, Lin Ruhai had no choice but to sigh in his heart, the royal family has little family affection, and there is nothing they can do about it.Kangxi complained and said: "You have been very carefree all these years, but you left me alone in the capital." Lin Ruhai smiled lightly: "The way of an emperor is a way of loneliness, and no one will walk with you. Your Majesty Didn’t you already know it? What’s more, when he left Beijing, the emperor promised not to disturb our peaceful life.” Kangxi glared at him, and said resentfully: “I only promised not to disturb you for 15 years, but now It's been 20 years! If I don't come here in person, are you planning to die of old age in Jiangnan?"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "It's a rare blessing to die in Jiangnan."

With a snort, Kangxi said: "I won't be idle, and I won't let you live in comfort. Brother Ruhai, should you return to court?" Lin Ruhai could only smile wryly, "Come on, let it go. Let the emperor come to recruit my ministers in person, presumably There is no escape. Listen to the emperor's orders." The words were submissive, but the tone was not respectful.Both of them laughed.Friends who grew up together.He knew that if he wanted to escape, there was nothing he could do about it.He also knows that if there is no important matter, he will not disturb the peaceful life of his old friend.After all, Lin Ruhai has never been a person who likes to socialize in officialdom.

The two chatted happily, but Yinzhen who was standing behind Kangxi was very surprised.I have never seen Huang Ama speak to others in such a relaxed tone.I have never seen Huang Ama tear off her own jade pendant and give it away when they met for the first time.This Mr. Lin is indeed not an ordinary person.
