[Red House] But for the sake of the king

Shui Rong held a white piece, concentrating on it, and finally put it back in the chess box, "The student surrendered."

Lin Ruhai said, "There are still many places to play, so you admit defeat?"

Shui Rong said, "It's a loss anyway, and the result will be the same if you continue."

Lin Ruhai remained silent, took a white stone from him, and dropped it in one place.

Shui Rong looked at it carefully, and suddenly realized, "After all, it is the master's move that the students can't figure out."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "You have something on your mind and you are restless, so you lose sight of the other. Forget it, you don't need to play this game anymore. I also think that you should improve. Why are you not as good as before? Is it because your father is not at home No one cares about you, and you ran out to mess with those drinking and meat friends again. Now your chess skills have regressed, and in the future, you will not even forget to write essays and poems."

It was Lin Ruhai who vented his anger. When he saw Shui Rong, he thought that his daughter should get married. In addition, he was still delivering a message for Jun Qi. At this moment, he was the only student and future son-in-law in front of him, so he became a punching bag.

Shui Rong hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Mr. forgive me, the students don't dare to act so absurdly again, they are too busy with business every day, how can they mess around with that kicker. In fact, the guards came to report last night, saying that Sheng Jia was rushing to Suzhou, It should be here this morning anyway. It’s just that no one has come to report for a long time, so the students are a little worried.”

Lin Ruhai was startled, Jun Qi's arrival was expected, but he didn't expect any accidents to happen on the way.Hearing what Shui Rong said now, he was also a little worried, so he called Songmo who was at the door and told him, "Go outside and see if there are any guests. If you don't let the door notice, if anyone wants to see the master, report it in."

Song Mo went away in response, just in time for a master to come to the door with two attendants, but he didn't have a letter of invitation, he just said that he was an old friend of Master Lin, and he was passing by here to pay a special visit.Because Lin Ruhai was at home and Ding You was at home, apart from a few visits from the prefect of Suzhou, no one came to the door.The one who came two days ago was King Jing of Beijing, who was also the master's student, so he was naturally different from others, but now that this empty-mouthed man was about to go in, the door was a little undecided for a while.

Songmo was originally an old man who had been with Lin Ruhai for more than ten years. When he saw the man, he knew that the emperor was coming, so he hurriedly sent the door to go there in person, and bowed, "Master, they are originally from the family here, and they don't know you. What an offense. The master is already waiting inside, please come with me."

Jun Qi saw that this person was familiar, so he knew that he had followed him from the capital, so he went in with him at ease.He originally arrived in Suzhou City in the morning, but he was rushed all the way, so he was a little embarrassed, so he specially found an inn to freshen up and change clothes, and then came to the door.

Lin Ruhai was restless, when he suddenly heard movement outside, in a moment of desperation, he walked to the door and looked around, and saw Jun Qi in black clothes at a glance.

Shui Rong winked, seeing the two of them, he just stood there without reacting, and said, "I have seen the emperor, and I still have some trivial matters, so I will take my leave first, and I beg the emperor to forgive me."

Jun Qi smiled and waved his hands, "It's okay, I'm busy with you."

Lin Ruhai also reacted, and when he took a closer look, he found that Jun Qi's temples were already slightly white, and he couldn't help feeling a little sour.If it weren't for Shui Rong's words, I'm afraid she would cry.

Jun Qi came over and took his hand, pulled him back into the room, stood facing each other, thought for a while before saying, "Daughter-in-law, I'll take you home."

Lin Ruhai, who was still full of sadness just now, glared at Jun Qi angrily when he heard this, "Spoken nonsense again."

Jun Qi hugged him into his arms, and sighed faintly, "What nonsense are you talking about, these days you are not by my side, I miss you day and night, wishing that you have returned to the capital when I wake up. After three years It's almost here, but I can't wait any longer, I always want to see you sooner. The five-year period has come, and I am here to bring you home."

Lin Ruhai's hand on his waist froze, slowly wrapped his arms around his back, and said softly, "I'm thinking too hard, but you shouldn't act recklessly like this, that's all for the southern tour. .If something good or bad happens on the road, won’t it worry me.”

Jun Qi rubbed his cheek, "My daughter-in-law doesn't want to see me, so she has to come by herself. There are guards and hidden guards by her side, don't worry. I still have to save my life to see you, Take you back."

Lin Ruhai suddenly broke away from his embrace, and his tone was full of depression, "You said a five-year agreement, but you still remember what you promised that day? Now it's like this, even if you return to the capital, what's the difference?"

Because of his actions, Jun Qi was a little disappointed. After hearing this, he understood what he was fussing about, and said, "Since I'm here, I definitely have no intention of just taking you back to the capital. I have wronged you for so many years, and I can't give it to you." You have a title, and I am the only one, if you don't dislike it, then accept it."

Lin Ruhai said, "You have confused me, what do you mean? Is it possible that you really want to leave the throne and accompany me to be a villager?"

Jun Qidao, "It was I who agreed to it. I said it well, but I still can't go back on it. I found a few places. If you talk about living in seclusion, Jiangnan is the best place after all. Both Suzhou and Hangzhou are excellent. If you don't want to, then It’s up to you to choose, anyway.”

"Nonsense." Lin Ruhai said angrily, "Back then, the emperor was old enough to take the Zen position. You are now in your prime. Although there are no internal and external troubles now, how can Jiangshan Sheji just throw it away. Besides, you How to explain to the civil and military officials and the people of the world, if there is no disease or disaster, suddenly say that you will not be the emperor, let others think."

Jun Qi smiled and said, "I've already planned this matter. There are many people on the southern patrol road. If you can't keep it all, an assassin or something will come. It doesn't matter if you fake death or get seriously injured, as long as you can get away. The prince is getting more and more serious." I have grown up and helped me deal with a lot of important things. I can see that it is okay, and I won’t be able to suppress those old courtiers. I am not a brat who doesn’t know what to do. If everything is not arranged properly, how can I say such a thing? Come on. I know that you are the most loyal and patriotic to the emperor, so how can I be a foolish emperor and let you down."

Lin Ruhai calmed down, and said after a while, "Of course I'm happy if you want to do this. I had a few fights over this matter in the past, and you know, I just can't let go of this knot. Ever since I knew I had this kind of love for you Xin Xin, when I found out your identity, I hesitated many times, but it was not because you are the emperor. At that time, I often thought, if you were a child of an ordinary family, I would give up all my fame and fame, and I would tell you what was in my heart .”

Jun Qi was very moved when he heard that, he hesitated a few times because of his identity that day, and almost missed it.Yin walked over and took his hand, and sat down next to him, "That's it, now let's put aside the names of these emperors and ministers, and be a couple of gods and immortals, wouldn't it be pleasant."

Lin Ruhai held his hand instead, shaking his head, "If it was before, I would naturally be willing to be with you, but now..."

Jun Qi interrupted him before he finished speaking, "What worries do you have, I have everything ready here, I just owe you a nod. Could it be that you can't let go of the Lin family and your position as a senior official? "

Lin Ruhai was a little unhappy, but she didn't want to get into trouble with him again because of this matter, because she said, "You know how I treat you, and I don't know what you can say now. It's true that you can't let go of the Lin family. Your crown prince has already established a family and established a business, and he can inherit the throne, but Heng'er is only so old, so why should I, as a father, just leave him alone and live happily?"

Jun Qi knew right away what he said, and when he heard him say this again, he just felt uncomfortable like scratching his heart with claws, "I'm so anxious that I'm dizzy, such words...you are very right, but if you want to wait until It will take a few more years for Heng'er to be able to stand on her own. I have nothing to do, I'm just afraid I've wronged you. Besides, we two, although we don't see each other once a year like the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, we can't stay together forever. We've already missed those years, is it possible? Can we only be together every day when we are so old that our beard and hair are all white?"

Lin Ruhai heard his pitiful words, thought about his appearance with all white beard and hair, and laughed for a moment, "It's not because of me. You are the emperor, and you have to record your words and deeds in the daily notes. I will leave it to future generations to judge. If there is an incident of being seriously injured by an assassin at this time, there are too many people involved, and when the time comes, they will always have to find some people who will take the place of the dead ghosts and arrange the defense of the palace. Can they be exempted from punishment? Second, tell them After all, it doesn’t sound good, and it will be recorded in the annals of history. Although Jingke’s assassination of the King of Qin was unsuccessful, how many jokes have been left for future generations. You call the assassin a traitor, and the dignified emperor was injured or even killed by a small assassin. Killing, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud. The person I like can't be ridiculed by the world."

Hearing the last sentence, Jun Qi felt as if he had eaten honey, and was so excited that he didn't know what to say, "But, in this way, we are still monarchs and ministers, so we have wronged you."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "I'm satisfied if you have this kind of heart. Anyway, we can't tell the truth about the two of us. It doesn't matter whether you are a monarch or a minister in the open. As long as you treat me sincerely, you can't live up to me." Don't I know you, if you really leave like this, I'm afraid you will worry about the government day and night, it's better to stay."

Jun Qi was very moved when he heard that he thought of everything for himself.The biggest regret in his life is not being able to give Ru Hai a title, and now Ru Hai refuses to live in seclusion because of him, and remembering that he almost doubted Ru Hai before, he felt more and more guilty, and hugged him into his arms, He murmured, "Don't worry, I will live up to you in this life."

Half a month later, Jun Qi was forcefully driven back by Lin Ruhai.

On the third day of August, Jia's family in the capital was full of joy, and it was the occasion of Jia's mother's [-]th birthday.Pavilions, terraces and pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, silk and bamboo orchestras, are so lively.Surrounded by all the stars, the ancestors were so happy that they couldn't even close their mouths.

In the Lin family in Suzhou, Lin Ruhai brought a pair of sons and daughters to pay homage to their mother. After the third anniversary of her death, they will return to Beijing.Lin Ruhai knelt in front of the tablets of her mother and her ancestors, and said silently: Mother, rest assured, my son will teach Heng'er a good life, and never let his ancestor's inheritance be destroyed by his son.

When the cold wind blows in August, the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus is strong.Two big boats are moving slowly on the canal.

Daiyu raised the curtain and looked at the scenery on both sides of the strait. She always felt that such a scene seemed familiar, but it was not the scene when she came here.I couldn't think of a clue for a while, I just thought that I had just worshiped my grandmother, so I was a little sad, so I put it aside.

Lin Ruhai stood at the bow of the boat, facing the wind, had no time to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the strait, and only hoped to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

One day, the wind was sunny, the sky was bright and the air was clear, and the big ship docked.

Just as Lin Ruhai got out of the cabin, he saw a person standing with his hands behind his back in the crowd.

The man approached the pier, personally helped him get off the boat, and whispered in his ear, "Madam, my husband is here to pick you up."

The author has something to say: Originally, he wanted to write more carefully, but after deleting, deleting and modifying, it still only has [-] words.

Originally, Lin Ruhai wanted to write more clearly about Lin Ruhai's motives, but he didn't go into details because he was afraid of ruining his image.In fact, as I said at the beginning, Lin Ruhai is just an ordinary person.Even in his previous life, I'm afraid he couldn't let go of the Lin family and live and fly with Jun Qi.Not to mention now, if he has a new life, if he can't revitalize the Lin family, wouldn't he be incompetent.

I have always wanted to write pure love, but found it too difficult.There are some things that Lin Ruhai and Jun Qi are well aware of, such as the so-called "secret" between Lin Ruhai and the Supreme Emperor, Jun Qi's doubts about Lin Ruhai, and Lin Ruhai's final choice.How should I put it, these two are realistic and intelligent people, and they are not little girls like me who love to fantasize all day [well, they are not young, but their minds are still very naive], so there is no reason for this. damage the relationship between them.After going through so many things, although the trust between them cannot reach [-]%, it is enough for them to continue walking.

To be honest, I originally planned to write a lot of side stories, but now I don’t know what to write _(:з」∠)_Everyone can give some advice, I will refer to it.
