[Red House] But for the sake of the king

After returning from Beifu, Tang shi paid attention to it for several days, and Daiyu was indeed much quieter than before.What's even more strange is that I used to visit Heng'er once a day, but now it's less.Tang called Nanny Ding and the others to question carefully, only then did she realize that someone was gossiping behind her back and Daiyu heard it, fearing that her grandmother and father would not want her anymore, so she restrained her words and deeds and behaved a lot.While Tang lamented that Daiyu was really sensitive, a child who was only four years old could think so much, what would happen in the future; at the same time, he beat everyone up and down again, and no one was allowed to talk too much.

Lin Ruhai was even more anxious than Tang's, for fear that the child would follow the old path of the previous life.He couldn't figure it out, now that she is doing well and is being raised by her mother, how could Yu'er have such a temper?Because I remembered what my mother said, I simply raised my daughter as a boy like in the previous life.In this way, he not only accepted his xinxing, but also showed his importance to his daughter.So I asked my mother for instructions, and planned to choose an older, talented and learned person from among the diners to be Daiyu's teacher in the next year.Tang naturally agreed, even if she didn't invite a husband, she would still teach Daiyu how to read.

After going back and forth in this way, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival.There are only four members of the Lin family, and they sat around a round table.Tang Corps didn't think it was lively enough, so he opened two more tables for some respectable servants to sit, which gave off a festive atmosphere.

Picking up a piece of mooncake, Tang was not without emotion, "When I was a child, every year on the night of Shangyuan and Mid-Autumn Festival, the house was full of people, and several tables could not be seated. How can it be as deserted as it is now."

Lin Ruhai quickly stopped the conversation, "What mother said is, how about inviting the two cousins ​​over next year's Mid-Autumn Festival? The ones from Hangzhou will not be able to invite, but the second cousin should come back from Fujian after the Chinese New Year. Over there in Suzhou, I heard that there are a few people from the tribe who are promising, and my son wants to send some people to Beijing, so that they will be a helper in the future."

Tang threw the mooncakes on the table and said lightly, "You can figure it out. I'm getting old and I'm too lazy to take care of these things. There are always hundreds of people in the family including the master and slaves, and I have to help you Take care of two children. Fortunately, Yu'er is more sensible now, otherwise she wouldn't be too busy."

Lin Ruhai listened to his mother's intentions and still wanted him to continue as soon as possible, and he had heard enough for so many days, so he must have said it clearly if he continued to evade.But when he thought about the things that had been planned, Lin Ruhai still said firmly, "It's my son who is unfilial, but this matter needs to be discussed in the long run. What the son thinks about, he has to think about the two children. Besides, it's not that the son is conceited. With the son's status now , what kind of things can't be found, but they can't just look for them at will. Since the establishment of the Taizu, the Lin family has become an upstart in the court from a little-known branch of the Lin family in Gusu, but they are also cautious in their words and deeds. Don't teach the descendants to be arrogant, extravagant and promiscuous, so that the family is ruined. The son inherited the court training at a young age, studied hard in the cold window, and was lucky to be in high school under the blessing of the ancestors; he worked hard for many years, and the emperor did not give up. I would like to follow the example of Taizu. Now it looks calm outside, but the forces of all parties are turbulent. How many people are waiting to catch his son's fault. If he is not careful, the whole family may suffer. You see, Jia's family is already this It looks like, if I come to another door, I'm afraid it will cause more troubles, so I don't want it."

After he made such a long speech, Tang couldn't say anything more.Anyway, even Taizu moved out, and what's more, he was telling the truth, but he was secretly refuted by his son, so naturally there was a sense of resentment accumulated in his stomach.Because he didn't even eat the moon cakes, he sat for a while and said he was tired, so he went back to the yard.

Daiyu didn't quite understand what happened, only that her grandmother looked angry.Ever since she heard a few women say that her father and grandmother would abandon her if she had a younger brother, Daiyu had been feeling uneasy in her heart, fearing that she would be abandoned anytime soon.Now that the good grandmother walked away again, she showed a certain expression on her face under the anxiety.

Lin Ruhai asked the nanny to carry Lin Heng back, and called Daiyu to sit beside her.After deliberating for a long time, he finally said, "Yu'er, are you unhappy?"

Daiyu lowered her head and didn't dare to answer, her father sent her younger brother back and left her alone, so she must have something to say.

Lin Ruhai sighed, this child was really thoughtful by nature, and he didn't know who he followed.The big hand stroked the top of Daiyu's head, "Yu'er, you are Daddy's daughter, what can't you say to Daddy? Daddy asked you, do you want a mother?"

Daiyu shook her head, then nodded again, "Listen to Daddy."

Lin Ruhai simply hugged her in his arms, "I'm looking for a mother for you, so naturally I'll listen to Yu'er. Yu'er, you are the eldest lady of our Lin family, and your father's only daughter. Even if you have a younger brother now, these things don't matter." It will change. This is your home, you are the master, if you want to say anything, you can just say it, don’t hide everything in your heart. Think about it, your grandmother loves you, and your father always loves you Dote on you, don't you? That screwdriver is a mindless gossip, don't take it to heart. Daddy told you today that you can control your life and you can't control others, especially your mouth. The ancients said Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself, look at how many gossips and gossips Daddy has outside every day, saying that Daddy is a villain, do you think Daddy is a villain?"

Daiyu hurriedly said, "Of course I'm not a bad person."

"That's it," Lin Ruhai continued, "Others say what other people say, as long as dad behaves rightly and sits upright, he naturally doesn't care what they say. The same is true for you, we are a family, and we don't care what those slaves say. Did you hear Nanny Ding tell you such a thing?"

Daiyu looked at Lin Ruhai in confusion for a while, then suddenly parted her mouth and laughed, "Thank you, Daddy, Yu'er understands."

Lin Ruhai hugged Daiyu tighter with a smile, "As expected of Daddy's daughter, smart."

Waking up early the next day, Tang's heart was still uncomfortable, and it took a while for Daiyu to feel better.Just wondering why Daiyu suddenly became lively, someone brought over two kinds of food, but they were authentic Hangzhou-style snacks, Hangzhou-style mooncakes, crab roe soup dumplings and a plate of Poria cocos cake, said to be sent by the master's special order.Tang accepted it with a smile, let Daiyu spend the morning with her, and ate half a mooncake, two soup dumplings, and a piece of Poria cocos cake with the japonica rice porridge.Chun Yu waited for her, and secretly winked at the little girl beside her.The little girl was clever, and when she went out, she told the old woman waiting outside that the old lady was happy.

Lin Ruhai felt relieved when he got the news, and it was easy to get over the matter, but he still has important things to do today.

In the dormitory, Jun Qi picked out several sets of clothes for a long time without making a decision.Yesterday Ruhai gave him the news, saying that today Shen Shi met in another courtyard and had important matters.It's not the first time, but for some reason, Jun Qi always feels that something big is about to happen this time, and it's not a bad thing.

Yesterday at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, facing a room full of Yingying and Yanyan, especially Concubine Zhen and Concubine Shu confronted each other—seeing that the Zhen family was losing momentum, Concubine Shu also had more confidence to confront her, Jun Qi really really My brain hurts watching it.Last night, logically, he should have gone to the queen's place, thinking about seeing Ru Hai today, but also felt that it was not good, so he drank a few more glasses, pretended to be drunk and escaped.

Dai Quan didn't change his face, and went to fetch a few more sets of clothes. They were all of the same style and color, but some embroidered patterns were different, so there was really nothing to change.But the emperor ordered, what else could he say.To say that Master Lin is really powerful enough, the emperor really favors him to the top of his heart, if he sees that he should be so solemn even when he meets each other.It is said that the emperor is ruthless, how come this master has become the emperor's infatuation, and he still loves men.Dai Quan kept his hands on, changing clothes for Jun Qi, but he thought in his heart that the princes and generals are really different from ordinary people, there are King Zhongshun who is unafraid of men and women, romantic and unrestrained, there are emperors who only love men, and those rich and powerful At home, there are not a few good men.However, Lord Lin is an important minister of the court after all, and he doesn't know how long the emperor's interest in Lord Lin can be maintained. If one day the love is exhausted, I don't know what the situation will be.

How did Jun Qi know that this slave was thinking about these things, if he knew, he would definitely be skinned and cramped.Where did he go now, Dai Quan was thinking about the day they parted.But at the moment, he is full of speculation about Ru Hai's intentions, perhaps it's not as simple as making up for the Mid-Autumn Festival.But if this is really the case, it is Ru Hai's wish, he just added some more.This day is also good, the moon is sixteen round on the fifteenth day, it should be the time when the two of the people and the moon are reunited.

After finally changing his clothes in a hurry, Jun Qi remembered the half jade pendant again, and searched through the box for a while before rummaging through it to put it on, so he wasted some time.When he arrived at the other courtyard, just a moment after the application time, the servant who guarded the gate said that Lin Ruhai had been waiting for half an hour.Jun Qi was overwhelmed when he heard that, so he quickly stepped inside, poor Dai Quan hurriedly followed, and almost stumbled.

There were still about twenty steps away from the pavilion, Dai Quan took a few breaths, waited wisely, and drove away the servants guarding the courtyard gate.He glanced past it just now, and it seems that Mr. Lin also chose a purple dress today, which coincided with the emperor.

Lin Ruhai came early and ordered someone to prepare sweet-scented osmanthus wine and sweet-scented osmanthus cake, as well as a few kinds of fruits, which were placed in the pavilion.I don't know what the meaning of the song was when it was built. The pavilion is surrounded by veils, which can be moved by the breeze. It's really beautiful, but it's just too feminine.When Jun Qi came, he had already been sitting for a long time, secretly thinking that he was too impatient to come so early.For a while, he wondered if the agreed time had passed, whether Jun Qi was caught in something in the palace and couldn't come.But I should also send someone to tell me, or I won't come, or it will be later, I shouldn't let him wait like this.I also thought that maybe I was on the way, and I would arrive soon.

When Jun Qi really opened the veil and walked in, Lin Ruhai stood up abruptly, without speaking, just looking at him like this.Thinking about such things wildly, now that people are in front of my eyes, my mind is blank.But at this point, there is no chance to regret it.

Jun Qi thought that he was late, so Ru Hai should not be angry, and seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, with embarrassment on his face, he cleared his throat and said, "Ru Hai, I'm late."

Lin Ruhai came back to his senses, but smiled back at him, "It's not too late, it's not too late."

In the past and present, it finally came.Not too late, not at all.Compared to never seeing each other again in the previous life, this is actually a gift from God, how could it be too late for him.

Jun Qi didn't understand the true meaning of it, but was dazzled by his smile, he went over and pulled him to sit down stupidly, "It's not too late. You asked me to come out today, but after the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Lin Ruhai blinked his eyes twice to get rid of the moist feeling, and then said, "Everyone only knows that the [-]th of August is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but they don't know that in some places in the south, the [-]th is the official day. You and I couldn't get away yesterday." , wouldn't it be good to make up for it today?"

Jun Qilian said yes, and filled a glass for the two of them, as a respect.
