Heir of the Red Chamber

Leaving aside what will happen next, I will only say that after Lin Ya memorized the letter written by Lin Ruhai in his heart a few times, he respectfully returned it to Lin Ruhai who happened to be looking at him in his free time.

In the past, Lin Ya always felt that the old man in the family was picky about him, and his words often had ulterior motives, mocking him, but now Lin Ya realized that Lin Ruhai was really polite and caring to him before. Quite frankly, he didn't even use one-tenth of Tangtang's decades of hard study.

To paraphrase a sentence from a previous life, this is the difference between the people and class enemies.

Lin Ya's arrogance was greatly reduced in a moment, Lin Ruhai could feel it, he couldn't help but nodded, and his tone was much more gentle: "This letter is to your second uncle's family, the second master Wang is not related to us, so I will order The housekeeper prepared another gift for him. As for their letters, you don't need to read them."

As Lin Ruhai became a loving father, Lin Ya naturally became a dutiful son.He hastily bowed and saluted: "My son has caused trouble, and I have to work hard to make money for the master, it is my son's unfilial piety."

With a respectful attitude and obedient behavior, Lin Ruhai was quite satisfied in his heart, so he took the initiative to talk about the business: "Originally, the son of the Xue family is just a merchant's dandy, and trivial matters are not worthy of serious discussion between you and my father and son, but the Wang family is so whimsical and wants to use some trivial things to settle the matter." Test my measure, and only then will there be side effects."

Lin Ruhai didn't mention Jia's family at all, but Lin Ya knew it in his heart.It doesn't matter what the Jia family thinks about this matter, and which side they stand on. The only one Lin Ruhai worries about is the Second Master Wang, the pillar of the Wang family who holds a high position in the book.

Lin Ya really had no idea how capable the Wang family was in this different world.No matter how conceited he is, he also knows that the current affairs in the officialdom are beyond his ability to deal with, and he may not even be able to help Lin Ruhai, so he can only listen with his ears.

Lin Ruhai stared at Lin Ya intently for a long while, seeing that he really knew his weight clearly, and didn't intend to speak rashly, and continued, "It doesn't matter at all."

No matter how Lin Ya was choked by his panting, Lin Ruhai showed a smile on his face, with a half-sarcasm in his eyes: "They can join if they want, even if my son is arrogant and I don't talk about my family, it's nothing The big thing is nothing more than minor flaws, and being impatient is another matter nowadays. Besides, being a father has always been top-notch in the assessments over the years, and the income from salt lessons is abundant. If there is no personal moral indebtedness, how can you be a saint?"

In this world, apart from Confucius, who passed away for thousands of years, there is only the Ninth Five-Year Supreme who considers himself a saint.As a courtier, he has a bit of a flaw, and he is more sensitive to today's temper.

Concealedly pointing to the current person, Lin Ruhai smiled and nodded Lin Ya: "Father already has a countermeasure, do you understand the troubles in your body?"

Invite people to send letters to the south of the Yangtze River. If there is no backup, Wang Ziteng is not worthy of his current position.The Wang family, and even the later Zhen family can't come up with such strategies, but as long as they haven't made up their minds to choose the prince from Concubine Zhen, Lin Ruhai's position will be as stable as Mount Tai.What's more, with the vision of Lin Ruhai's ups and downs in the officialdom for many years, he doesn't have such thoughts at all nowadays, otherwise, why would Concubine Zhen need to jump up and down for so many years?

But they can't help Lin Ruhai, but it doesn't mean they have nothing to do with Lin Ya. When they become angry, they may not be able to toss a junior.

Lin Ya had thought about this a long time ago, and straightened her back when she heard the words: "It's just arranging for my son to be virtuous and debauched. The son is not a woman, and he can't live and die just because he is talked about by others? What's more, the ancients There is a saying that the prodigal son will not change his money when he returns."

As long as Lin Ruhai is still alive, this matter will be a disaster, and the Wang family will at most put all their faults on Lin Ya, slandering him as a moralless dude, ruining his reputation, so as to hinder his official career.

But this world has always been extremely tolerant of men.Even if the Lin family didn't make an excuse, no one in Beijing knew what kind of virtue Xue Pan was. As long as Lin Ya could really stand out in the future, people would praise him that it was not too late for the prodigal son to turn around, and find excuses for him such as being young and frivolous.After all, people are not sages, so there is nothing wrong with them.

Lin Ya looked at Lin Ruhai's expression while talking, and after he settled down for a while, he asked the only question: "But, my son is worried, will Qingliu get tired of my son, and feel that this is not what a gentleman did?"

This is not just for this matter. Lin Ya felt that his actions were far from the way of a gentleman, so he couldn't help but want to ask Lin Ruhai, a well-known gentleman of modesty, for advice.

Who knew that Lin Ruhai sneered directly: "Why is it not the actions of a gentleman? The Master said, repaying a grudge with virtue, how can we repay virtue. The sage Confucius even told us to retaliate with an eye for an eye, so why do you have to endure the offense of the younger generation? A gentleman would rather bend than bend, how can he be humiliated? Blindly endure Retreat and let tigers and wolves run rampant, but you are just a coward! Repay kindness with kindness, and repay grievances with straightness, I think you are acting like an ancient gentleman!"

Lin Ya was really startled this time.Since his last life, he has been used to hearing scolding, nothing more than saying that he is ruthless and will take revenge. This is the first time someone said that he is a gentleman.

Lin Ruhai obviously saw what was in Lin Ya's mind, and sighed again: "In the world, when you judge people and deeds, you like to think of being a villain in your heart, so what does it matter if you judge others with malice? As long as you act with distinction between right and wrong, people will Then say you are a gentleman."

It was Lin Ruhai himself, everyone said he was a gentleman, but how could a real gentleman beat the Lianghuai salt merchants?Wrapped around a hundred thousand guan, ride a crane down to Yangzhou.Although this is not the most benevolent place in the capital, but Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, a little carelessness will bring disaster to the whole family.

There are indeed real gentlemen in this mansion, but they are not Lin Ruhai and Lin Ya.

Lin Ya couldn't help being embarrassed, and for a while, he and Lin Ruhai were speechless. It was Lin Ruhai's confidant, Song'er, who reported outside the door, saying that the daughter-in-law from Jia's family had pissed off the eldest girl, and that made the father and son talk again.

"What a lingering ghost!" Hearing the news, Lin Ya's eyes turned cold without any concealment.The Jia family's repeated attempts to stir up Daiyu's relationship with his siblings is unbearable!

The Jia family is indeed Daiyu's maternal ancestral family, but their surname is Jia, and the Lin family's surname is Lin. How can there be any reason to instigate Daiyu to separate from the Lin family?Besides, if the Jia family really loves Daiyu, how can they not understand the harm of Daiyu really having a rift with her brother?This is basically to pinch Daiyu into the palm of your hand.

Seeing Lin Ya's expression of joy and anger, Lin Ruhai glanced at him indifferently, still the old god was still there: "Why get angry over such a trivial matter? Your sister has her own sense of propriety and doesn't need you to worry about it. But do you know why the Xue family boy is so angry?" Crippled?"

I don't know if the little screwdriver next to Lin Ya has the ability to find out a few days ago that he asked the big housekeeper to buy and sell the Xue family's work as a servant. ?
