Heir of the Red Chamber

Since the old master Lin Ruhai fell to the ground in the inner study a few days ago, and the Lin family closed their doors to thank the guests, there are a few old servants who have a very respectable status in the family, and ordinary servants would respectfully call "Grandfather" when they met. They took turns leading the porters outside the door to play games with people from all walks of life who came to inquire about the news, and even kept the news from inside the mansion secret.At this time, not to mention the people outside, even the ordinary servants of the Lin family, it is unknown what happened to Master Lin Ruhai's strange illness.

It's just that although the errands were done well, the expressions on the faces of the old people became more and more serious as time went by. There was no other reason, it was the delay in returning from the uncle Lin Ya.

This day, it was Lin Ruhai's first-class confidant and chief steward He Qi who invited him to be on duty outside the door.He had just politely sent away the henchman of the Zhen family who was called to visit Shangfeng, but in fact was to investigate the truth of the Lin family, when he heard a rush of horseshoes coming from the entrance of the alley, as if they were knocking on people's hearts.

This alley has always been respected by the Lin family, and it has always been quiet. Traffickers, pawns, high-ranking and low-level people will not come close. When did someone run across the horse so presumptuously?

There was that little boy who thought he was clever and tricky and jumped up with a carp, anxious to show his face to "Grandpa He", with his hips on his hips, he was about to scold: "Where did you come from that you don't open your eyes..."

Before he could say "You bastard's popular son", the really clever man covered his mouth and pressed it back, not daring to say anything.

How could He Qi still care about the minutiae of the little ones at this moment?He just stared at the entrance of the alley without blinking, with his old eyes widened, and he begged all the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and he only hoped that the person who came was indeed what his elder brothers were looking forward to. that one.

After all, this time he did not disappoint the loyal old housekeeper. Like the wind, he was swept into Liuqi in the alley of the Lin family, and the leader was Lin Ya, the old man who the family looked forward to day and night.Overjoyed is not enough to describe He Qi's mood at this time.Regardless of his frailty and old age, he jumped over the crowd and went up to meet him. He wanted to help Lin Ya get off his horse, and at the same time he whispered about the fact that the master was recuperating in the inner study.

Lin Ya braved yesterday's torrential rain and galloped day and night. It was really at the end of his strength at the moment, and he didn't show courtesy to the old steward. What worried him the most along the way was that the ordinary servants at home still seemed to be ignorant of it, so he was somewhat relieved, nodded solemnly to He Qi, and then strode towards the door, He Qi was supported by the eldest son , fell behind Lin Ya.

"Master is back." Lin Ya is strong and healthy, and He Qi and his son are not slow on their feet. After a while, they left the range of the outer door. He Qi walked and talked to Lin Ya about the situation at home: "Master's illness is really too strange. A few servants of the Zhen family who are usually disobedient in the yamen jumped up on the day of master's illness. If they didn't still have concerns in their hearts, they might have brought people into the house a long time ago. The servants had no choice but to guard the door firmly. It was the second master who made a decisive decision and invited the most famous doctor Liao from our hometown in Gusu for the master. Now everything in the mansion is decided by the second master. The eldest girl is serving the soup and medicine in front of the master's bed, not daring to look away for a moment."

At such a juncture, Lin Ya has not yet returned from abroad, and there are only two young children, Lin Chong and Daiyu, at home. One takes care of the housework with the master's schedule, and the other keeps an eye on Lin Ruhai's condition. This arrangement is the limit of what they can do .

Lin Ya was relieved and worried at the same time, and his steps became more urgent, but when he spoke, he spoke a beat slower than usual, making people feel inexplicably stable: "Uncle, what is the matter now? Those who served the master at that time My servants..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Ya had already walked outside the courtyard of the inner study, and saw the men, women and children kneeling on the ground in Wu Ya, so he didn't ask any more questions.All the servants who were able to get close to Lin Ruhai himself or his basic necessities before the incident should have been here.

With gloomy eyes, he glanced at the crowd who cried out for grievances from time to time. Lin Ya took a special look at a few women and children in their arms, and gradually there was a glimmer of hope in his heart, but he didn't ask He Qi again, but nodded and said He enlightened, so he pulled up the corner of his robe and entered the yard.He Qi also did not follow up, but stood at the door and asked about the result of the interrogation himself.

As soon as Lin Ya lifted the curtain on the east side of Lin Ruhai's temporary residence for the past few days, he smelled a strong smell of herbs. When he looked up, he saw the pale and thin Daiyu in front of the window.

Daiyu had obviously received the news of Lin Ya's return home, but she was worried that her father, who was still in a coma, did not go out to meet her elder brother.Seeing her elder brother who had been looking forward to these days with her own eyes, Daiyu's thin face that was almost out of shape finally showed a gleam of joy, no longer the panicked look before.

Before Daiyu saluted with tears in her eyes, Lin Ya hurried forward a few steps and helped Daiyu to sit on the soft chair beside the bed, and then stared intently at Lin Ruhai, her stepfather who was lying unconscious on the bed.

No matter how embarrassing their identities are, how many unavoidable calculations and precautions there are, Lin Ya is always grateful and admires Lin Ruhai.I am grateful to him for saving the two brothers from the sea of ​​suffering, and for giving them good food and clothing to advance to the ladder. I am grateful to him for his protection and teaching in every possible way, and I admire him for his profound knowledge and insight into the world.

At this time, the elder who had been protecting the family like a majestic mountain was lying on the bed with a pale complexion, his breathing was disordered and heavy, and his handsome face, which was praised by everyone before the illness, had become emaciated. Back corner, wanting to gently push his palm that was exposed outside at some point back into the brocade quilt.

Who would have thought that that seemingly thin and feeble hand would exert force suddenly and grip Lin Ya's cold fingertips again.

Lin Ya was stunned, and a burst of ecstasy suddenly rose in his heart, he raised his head hastily, and sure enough, he met Lin Ruhai's tired but still clear eyes.

Lin Ruhai obviously just woke up from a coma. He blinked slowly, as if he saw Lin Ya beside the bed, but he didn't seem to see anything. He just called out slowly and clearly, "Elder Sister? Yu'er?"

Daiyu was alone, and sitting on the soft chair was naturally covered by the man Lin Ya. At this time, she heard her father calling, and she threw herself directly in front of Lin Ruhai's bed, regardless of her ladylike manners. Holding his father's exposed corner of his clothes, he choked up and couldn't speak.

"It's hard for me." Lin Ruhai looked at Daiyu lovingly, as if she wanted to raise her hand to rub the soft bun on her daughter's head as before, but she gave up in the end, and just looked at her tearful face with regret. With a small face, she gently comforted her: "Yu'er, don't cry, being a father is already great."

After saying this, Lin Ruhai finally put his eyes on Lin Ya: "It's good that you're back safely."

Lin Ya was on the road all night in the rain, the clothes on his body were already dirty and out of shape, and he didn't know where to throw the small crown on his head. This time, he just randomly took a wooden hairpin from the accompanying servants. If you use it casually, it is difficult to describe how embarrassing it is, but in Lin Ruhai's eyes, it is unprecedentedly pleasing to the eye.

"In the past few days, I seldom woke up, and I was worried about whether something bad happened to you in Jinling, but now I'm finally on the mend."

Lin Ruhai usually has a heavy mind and a lot of thoughts, this disease is so weird, he still thinks about his heir who is hundreds of miles away in a daze, how is his body not weak?

Lin Ya was moved and worried for a while, and while helping Lin Ruhai half-sit up, he began to comfort him, and there was an imperceptible choke in his words: "It is the son who is not filial, and the father is worried. If he fails the father's kindness, what will the son look like?" Standing in the world? Since father is awake, why don't you call Miracle Doctor Liao over to help your veins?"

As soon as the steward mentioned Miracle Doctor Liao, Lin Ya remembered him.Doctor Liao was originally a famous doctor who had been enshrined by the Lin family in Gusu for many years. Not to mention his high medical skills, what is rare is that he has a righteous heart and a benevolent heart.Before Lin Ya's adoption, he suffered from his stepmother's secret misfortune several times, and it was all thanks to Dr. Liao who diagnosed and treated him. Dr. Liao also wanted to help Lin Ya's brother's adoption.Later, after Lin Ya gradually got acquainted with Lin Ruhai, he vaguely learned that for many years the enshrined doctor Liao appeared to be from the Lin clan, but in fact it was Lin Ruhai's branch.

In the current situation, Dr. Liao is really the best candidate to diagnose and treat Lin Ruhai. Good medical skills are second to none. The key is to be reliable.

As for the previous sentence, it was indeed Lin Ya's words from the bottom of his heart.There is no mention of Lin Ruhai at this time in the original book, which means that he is still living and working in Yangzhou as a patrolling censor.Ninety-ninety percent of the unforeseen misfortunes that are happening right now are because of him, Lin Ya.If it wasn't for the fact that he stepped on and broke Xue Pan's leg bone, how could Lin Ruhai have turned his face so quickly?

In past and present lives, Lin Ya has always believed that people respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot.If Lin Ruhai really had an accident this time, he would not be able to overcome the hurdle in his heart.As for the people behind the scenes...

A trace of cruelty flashed in Lin Ya's eyes, but he felt someone gently pat the back of his hand, and immediately turned his face away.

The satisfaction in Lin Ruhai's eyes grew stronger, and he was not in a hurry to talk to Lin Ya, but gently ordered Daiyu: "Can my daughter hold on? Go and send a message for your father and your elder brother to call your second elder brother How about you come over? By the way, I will go find Doctor Liao and get a pill for Dad."

Daiyu was cuddling happily beside her father at the moment, and when she heard that Lin Ruhai was about to push her away, she couldn't help but startled slightly, then came back to her senses, pouted and glared at Lin Ruhai and Lin Ya before turning around and going out.The two big men were blamed by their relatives on the tip of their hearts, and they felt a little embarrassing in their hearts, but the business was the most important thing, so they had no choice but to try to make Daiyu happy later.

Although Lin Ruhai was not on the verge of dying as outsiders imagined, he was indeed seriously ill, and he was still in a state of depression. He didn't go around in circles as usual, but went straight to the point: "According to Dr. Liao, I was hit by someone else. Calculating. There is only one family who can put their hands into this mansion with this kind of thinking, and the people behind the scenes don’t need to ask, now they have cleaned up the door first, and then talk about other things.”

The tone was very calm. If Lin Ya didn't know him very well, he would have missed the faint murderous intent contained in these words.

"The master is very right. Actually, when the son saw the battle outside, he vaguely felt that the master is still able to manage affairs. It's just that no matter how important the other is, it can weigh more than the master's body? If you are not good, I will tell you Chong'er's wild boy crawling out of the mud is worthless, what can Yu'er do?" At the end of the speech, Lin Ya couldn't help but sighed softly.

Lin Ruhai is not only the pillar of the sky for this branch and even the entire Gusu Lin family, but also the cornerstone of this family.Right now, the two generations are not connected, if something unexpected happens to Lin Ruhai, what awaits the Lin family is not only the collapse of the building, but also the destruction of the foundation, and the family may be reunited soon.

On the way back, Lin Ya was even ready to fight the Jia family and the Zhen family. If it wasn't for the anticipation in his heart, Jia Lian would have left Jia Lian with more than just the whip. Really scared.It wasn't until she saw that among the servants kneeling outside the courtyard that there were even children with hair and babies, Lin Ya's heart quietly fell to the ground.

Because of such a ruthless handwriting, it was definitely not Lin Chong or Daiyu's orders. No matter how much they hated them, it was one thing to sell them all to the coal mine saltworks, but they still couldn't do it while watching.The only one in this family who can deal with such a heavy hand is Lin Ruhai, the head of the family.

If orders and prohibitions can be enforced, things are not so bad that they cannot be tolerated.

And when he came into the house, seeing Daiyu's face was more panic than grief, he knew that Lin Ruhai's illness still needs to be cured.Otherwise, based on the father-daughter relationship between Daiyu and Lin Ruhai, Daiyu is not just thin and thin.

Lin Ruhai obviously listened very well, and after a serious illness, he rarely showed a bit of self-blame in front of Lin Ya: "I was also careless, and I left some troubles at home. I always think about your wife's past virtuousness, and jade It's not easy for a child to lose his mother, but he didn't think about which master these servants knew in their hearts. Now that you're back, I should take care of my illness, it's a trivial matter, you can make up your mind."

Who did the attack, or which family did the attack directly? The father and son had already tacitly understood how to deal with the traitorous slave, but Lin Ruhai still had to speak. After all, it was Jia Min's dowry family back then.

Lin Ya naturally took the order, and asked about Lin Ruhai's body.

A glimmer of gloom flashed across Lin Ruhai's face: "Although there is no need to worry about your life, you have hurt the root cause. I am afraid that as a father, you will inevitably retire early in the future."

According to Lin Ruhai's original idea, he wanted to hold out until Lin Ya gained a firm foothold in the officialdom before begging for a rest. If he could be promoted to a higher rank or even become a cabinet minister during this period, it would be a surprise, but now I'm afraid it won't work.He could only withdraw his thoughts, and arrange a way to get out after Lin Ya passed the imperial examination.

A big rock in Lin Ya's heart fell to the ground.He doesn't care whether he can get Lin Ruhai's protection in officialdom, as long as he is fine, he can talk about everything else.

Just as she was about to fulfill her duty as a son of man and say a few words to forgive Lin Ruhai's heart, both Daiyu and Lin Chong arrived.The jade-like little people stood side by side, bowing in circles with red eyes. Lin Ya quickly picked up one with each hand and sent it to Lin Ruhai's bed.

Daiyu was worried about Lin Ruhai's health, and now she had forgotten about the anger she had done before, and hurriedly took out a box with both hands, and wanted to serve her father to take medicine.

Standing farther away, Lin Ya could smell the bitter and sour smell of the pill, and couldn't help but move back a little bit. One can imagine what the medicine tasted like, but Lin Ruhai seemed to be eating sugar and drinking honey. Ordinarily, he ate it with a smile in Daiyu's hand, and at the end he did not forget to give Lin Ya a strange look.

After taking the medicine, Lin Ruhai did not continue this tender scene with his children, but after encouraging Lin Chong, he sent an errand to Lin Chong Daiyu who was housekeeper for the past few days: "Chonger and Yuer can work harder. Go outside and let me and your elder brother guard, I will talk to Ya'er."

There is a clear distinction between pampering and pampering and family responsibility.

Lin Chong and Daiyu didn't say anything else, they agreed obediently, and retreated together.Lin Ya looked through the window sills, and saw two small men with upright bodies, seeming to have driven out the servants around them, leaving only two reliable confidantes beside Lin Ruhai, One guarded the door.

"Our family is weak, so if we want to keep the family business, we must work together." Lin Ruhai coughed lightly, and said slowly: "You know everything about the family, but what's going on with you in Jinling City?"

If it was when Lin Ruhai was still healthy, Lin Ya would have to swear a few words. He never knew what was going on at home. Now, looking at Lin Ruhai's tired eyes, Lin Ya put away all his arrogance and picked up important things. He told Jinling and his party, especially what he said to the Third Highness Chu Ronghua, and he didn't hide a single bit.

Lin Ruhai closed his eyes and listened for a while, and only opened his eyes when Lin Ya mentioned that he met Jia Lian on the official road in the rainstorm and gave him a whip.

"Jia Lian didn't mean to meet you and salute at the beginning? Did you bring medicinal materials in the car?"

After getting affirmative answers to even two questions, Lin Ruhai coughed a few more times: "I have harbored evil intentions for a long time, and I was negligent. Your whip was right. If the eldest grandson of the Jia family has a right or wrong, and let him They came to my theory."

Talking about Jia Lian's possible "good and bad" without any hesitation, Lin Ruhai changed the subject after a sentence: "The one in Xingsan is really a Shangzhu and a concubine, and he also mentioned Yuyao Zeng's family, saying that marriage is not easy. Can?"

Just now, Lin Ya was thinking about what kind of gift Jia Lian should give if he didn't have a "right and wrong", but Lin Ruhai turned the conversation back to Chu Ronghua and answered yes after a moment of surprise.Lin Ruhai closed his eyes and meditated again, Lin Ya didn't make a sound to disturb, just waited with his breath held.

After a long while, Lin Ruhai chuckled lightly: "I have always claimed to be wise in the world, but I have made a big mistake in family affairs. I will not talk about appeasing the vicious and treacherous generation, but I shouldn't underestimate the friendship between the younger generation. You and that What happened to your old friend, I didn't ask in detail before, since I have nothing else to do today, just tell me."

There was nothing to hide from people about that old incident, but no one asked about it, so Lin Ya didn't say anything. Now that Lin Ruhai asked, Lin Ya knew everything.

It was not long after Lin Ya came to this other world, he was recovering from a serious injury, and had a few small conflicts with his stepmother with a naive courage of a newborn calf and a heroic spirit of wanting to make contributions.According to the rules of the previous life that Lin Ya was familiar with, he would not have made any mistakes. Unfortunately, this is an era that emphasizes filial piety, especially foolish filial piety, and Lin Ya's actions are somewhat intolerable to the world.If his stepmother hadn't nearly killed him before, the clan would have punished him long ago.

Even the family members knew that Lin Ya's stepmother was unkind, but they still felt that Lin Ya was more wrong.Not long after, the scheming woman, who was willing to show her face and got a ruthless hand, pinched Lin Ya's fault and asked the clan elder to call the shots to remove Lin Ya from the clan.

There were three troubles and two troubles. Some elders of the clan felt sorry for Lin Ya's young age and proposed a compromise, which was to let Lin Ya go to the northwest with the merchants who often come and go in the clan.It is said to the outside world that it is to subsidize the family, but in fact it also has the meaning of exile.

In the eyes of the clansmen, even if they die on the road, it is better than being removed from the genealogy and become a lonely ghost. In the eyes of Lin Ya before running a business, this is a way out with vitality, so there are many people in the business running team. A △-year-old child was born.

What kind of people would go to the northwest border where wars are constantly in progress to sell goods?Naturally, everyone has some stories, and none of them are kind-hearted people with soft hearts.

That is to say, Lin Ya is not a real child in his heart, and the kind-hearted uncle gave some extra money to the caravan to manage, otherwise the journey would be long, and he would have been reborn several times after walking thousands of miles.Kidnappers, thieves, and even robbers who cut paths, Lin Ya has experienced many hardships along the way.

After finally walking to the northwest, before Lin Ya had time to catch his breath, the caravan he had been following was in big trouble. For some reason, he offended the local soldier who was stationed there, and he was tied up in a string and sent to the prison. There was only one Lin Ya, probably the soldiers thought it would be a waste of rope to tie him up, so they searched him and found nothing valuable, so they kicked him away.

Now Lin Ya, who is alone and penniless, has no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the earth, and returning to his hometown is even more out of reach. If he wants to find a shelter in a local ruined temple, he has to be entrenched in it. It took a lot of beating by the beggars to be accepted by them.

At the time when Lin Ya was in the worst embarrassment in his two lives, the fourth prince Chu Ronghua, who was forced to leave Beijing to pay homage to his grandfather and uncle who died in battle because of palace secrets, also came to this small border town accompanied by guards.

No matter how down and out he is, he is a nobleman, and the other is so humble that they might not meet each other in another reincarnation, but because of a steamed bun, they met once.

Speaking of this, Lin Ya was also emotional.

At that time, he gritted his teeth and shamelessly relied on a kind-hearted family to move the tiles and stones for a day. The male owner of the family saw that he was young and pitiful, and finally gave him a black-faced steamed bun as wages.He even ate wild vegetables for so many days that his eyes turned green from hunger, and when he saw the steamed buns, he was like a baby, carefully protecting them in his arms.

Unexpectedly, there was a catastrophe, he was walking on the street well, some naughty boy from a rich family from somewhere would bully him, a down-and-out man, just because of the large number of people, just push him down, the hateful thing is this The Mantou also rolled out and landed beside the wheels of a luxurious carriage.

Hungry for that, Lin Ya only had a steamed bun in his eyes, he would not notice any nobleman, let alone have any sense of awe, rushed out of the crowd and rushed over, almost hitting the point of the attendant's knife.

With the gleaming tip of the knife right in front of his eyes, no matter how hungry and bold Lin Ya was, it was inevitable that he would feel a little fear in his heart.Just when he thought he was going to suffer a lot this time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted suddenly, and Chu Ronghua sickly asked the guards to let go of the beggar, and lightly threw the box of pastries from the best and most expensive Fuji Bakery in the city down.

He is superior, but he really has a favor for Lin Ya. In such a situation, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life-saving grace.

Lin Ya hugged the box and walked away, hiding in the corner and munching, only to find that Chu Ronghua actually put a small silver bean in the box.

I remembered the carriage, I remembered the gloomy young master, and when Lin Ya later overheard the beggars talking about the fat sheep coming to the city, the Qiang Liang who had been staring at the previous few times was all stunned. At this moment, a well-known stubborn person finally came, and when he didn't know who would leave his life here to wait for words, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

The border is poor, not to mention a small city, even if this prefecture is counted, how many such hard stubbles are there?It was undoubtedly the young man.

Lin Ya didn't like to owe favors to others, especially those who were superior. After hearing this news, he began to think about it.It's not that he didn't think about passing on the news, but it's a pity that Chu Ronghua never left the mansion after that meeting, and Lin Ya couldn't see him at all, so he wanted to ask the guards to pass on the news, but he could only be ridiculed.

Walking around the huge mansion for a few days, almost being caught and beaten to death by the guards, Lin Ya found a dog hole in the back wall, and he had an idea in his heart, decided to go through the dog hole, and fought hard Informing Chu Ronghua of the news is also considered a repayment for saving his life.

As a result, people are not as good as God.Just as Lin Ya got in with all his strength, as soon as he showed his head, there was a shout of killing in the front yard.

This time it was neither advancing nor retreating, Lin Ya couldn't help but rubbed one leg towards the dog hole, suddenly raised his hand and gave himself a slap, then ran desperately into the most magnificent looking place in the yard room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Chu Ronghua sitting high in the main seat with an indifferent expression, surrounded by a stern servant, and thinking about the guards outside, this is not a pampered young master, he is clearly in prison.

Lin Ya didn't have time to feel sorry for Chu Ronghua's life experience, so he explained what he had heard and the reason for coming here to save people in a few words, and went forward to pull Chu Ronghua's arm cheekily.The servant, who was Chu Ronghua's confidant, was about to scold him, but Chu Ronghua shook his head and followed Lin Ya silently.

Be it a beggar or a noble in Tianhuang, they all went through the dog's hole together and escaped from birth.

After the situation subsided, Chu Ronghua hid Lin Ya carefully before the guards, who had lost their little master, came looking for them in disgrace.

Later, even though it was Long Yu Shoal, Chu Ronghua ordered people to release all the people in the caravan, and returned some belongings so that they could return home.

Before Lin Ya left, he had the chance to meet the servant, and he solemnly saluted him.Even if this is nothing more than a little effort for others, it is like a gift of rebuilding to Lin Ya. Otherwise, how many years will he have to stay here before he can afford to return home?I'm afraid Lin Chong is alone at home, and it's unknown if he will get his reckless brother.

This was the old story between him and Chu Ronghua. Although Chu Ronghua asked him his name and place of origin, Lin Ya never expected that there would be a day when they would meet again.

After telling the past as briefly as possible, Lin Ya sighed in his heart, and Lin Ruhai was also silent for a while.

After a long silence, Lin Ruhai sighed: "Do you know why I indulged your nonsense, and later even agreed to do a little bit for this person?"

"Their brothers are the ones who attract the attention of the world. I can't avoid it, and I also judge them carefully. The dead are the most important. Let's not talk about them. We only talk about these few. The two of the Zhen family did not have any feud. I don't want to be with them because of their mean nature and vicious hands. If they treat their uncles like domestic slaves, how can they be expected to treat others kindly? Besides, they seem to be prominent, and they are not the people his father likes at all. As for the second He is a thieves! It is unbearable to conspire with him. But the one you chose, does not see any achievements, but it still has a reputation of pure filial piety."

Without continuing to elaborate on the secrets of the court, Lin Ruhai smiled lightly and said, "I didn't expect there to be a surprise, this one is still nostalgic."

Now that Lin Ya's thoughts are gone, thinking about what he said to Chu Ronghua in Jinling City, and recalling the difficult times back then, he can't help but feel a little ashamed, Chu Ronghua is not pleasing, so how could he deal with it properly?

Taking Lin Ya's expression into his eyes, Lin Ruhai couldn't tell whether his tone was serious or joking: "If this time I really...you can ask the Lord, and you can also keep the family safe in the midst of the pack of wolves."

The princesses of this dynasty are far less powerful than those of the previous dynasty, and they cannot interfere in government affairs, and the chosen consorts cannot serve as officials, but are only honored.But if something unexpected happened to Lin Ruhai, how could the Jia family and the Zhen family dare to compete with the son-in-law of the Tian family even if they had the guts to compete with the son-in-law of the Tian family?Not to mention murder for money.If he saved his life, he would naturally have children, and with a future, the Lin family would rise again one day.

Lin Ya was slightly embarrassed.After all, he is also a dignified man, Lin Ruhai said so bluntly about eating soft rice, he was really a little embarrassed to open his mouth, he choked for a while before calming down and said: "Master is lucky, don't say that. It's just that he seems to be very fond of our family. I like it, my son thinks that Zeng's family affairs can be considered."

Because Daiyu was right outside the door, Bao Buqi would hear something, so Lin Ya didn't want to mention Chu Ronghua's desire to accept the side concubine.

Lin Ruhai happened to mean the same thing, smiled slightly, and took the words: "I think the Zeng family is very good. The family style is good, and the children and grandchildren are promising. It's just that I have been away from Beijing for many years and I am not very familiar with Zeng Shilang and his son. Just open your mouth, but now it is destined. It's a pity that a man's marriage is not the same as a woman's marriage, otherwise such a good thing would not be the turn of a wicked person like you."

These words are very profound.

Lin Ya was stunned for a moment, and then he understood Lin Ruhai's true meaning from Lin Ruhai's gentle expression.

When it comes to marriage, what is the difference between men and women?It's not that one inherits Zongyou and the other marries into another's wife, but that once Chu Ronghua fails, the risks he will bear are different.

Even though the Lin family was hiding in the dark, the Zeng family's wealth and life were tied together with Chu Ronghua.If the major event is accomplished, let it go, if not, no one in the Zeng family will be able to escape.If it was Daiyu, if the accident happened early, he would be a widow, and if the accident happened late, he would sin against the housewife, and his life would be ruined.If it was him, as long as the family was careful enough, the crime would not be as bad as marrying a daughter. Although several generations of official career would be affected, it would be much less sinful than Daiyu who might suffer if she married into the Zeng family.

Since Lin Ruhai likes Chu Ronghua, and also likes the in-laws of the Zeng family, there is no reason why he should be firm.

It's not that he didn't think about marrying a wife, it's just that Lin Ya was a little dazed when he decided on a possible wife in this way, seeing Lin Ruhai smiled again, and the depression in his illness disappeared a lot.

After quietly laughing at his prudent heir, Lin Ruhai turned to talk about other things.

"There is new news about your biological father and stepmother being picked up by the Wang family." Lin Ruhai has not yet recovered, and he took advantage of the time when Lin Ya talked about his old affairs with the third highness to hold his breath until now, but it was inevitable that he would reveal it. Tired, he spoke in a softer voice: "The servants of the Wang family were incapable and lost them. At that time, I thought which family would come to the muddy water. Now that I think about it, it will probably fall on this person. The man can bend and stretch, Don't engage in emotional disputes in business matters, and take face too seriously."

It was the first time for Lin Ya to hear about this, and she hurriedly nodded her head, seeing that Lin Ruhai's energy seemed a little low, so she advised him to rest for a while.

Lin Ruhai didn't try to be brave either: "I should take a good rest. I'm afraid that some relatives and old friends will call at my door in the next few days. If I don't show up, how can they feel at ease?"

Semantic sarcasm, obviously already has the meaning of righteousness.

Lin Ya had long been displeased with the mud, and Lin Ruhai's intention was exactly what he wanted, but when he mentioned relatives, he suddenly thought of Xue Baochai.He just forgot to mention the fact that the girl from the Xue family might enter the Fourth Prince's residence.

But after a moment of hesitation, Lin Ruhai's kind of character was naturally noticed, and he wanted to ignore it, but he was worried that this was still a little immature heir, so he had no choice but to ask, and Lin Ya spoke.

Lin Ya always felt that Xue Baochai was one of the top [-] beauties in Jinling along with Daiyu.Unexpectedly, although Lin Ruhai also valued this matter, what he cared about was completely different from Lin Ya.

"In other words, our in-laws have become determined to embarrass us. Anyway, there must be an end anyway. The Zhen family is really interesting. The eldest son's main wife, who was not wanted, was sent to the capital. To be a concubine? It’s fine to get rid of it together.”

Focusing on the overall situation, without mentioning the old grievances between his family and the Xue family, but really counting the Xue family in the outcome, it is much more generous than Lin Ya staring at the Xue family.

Seeing his heir's pensive attitude, Lin Ruhai smiled slightly, and felt that teaching this heir was really relaxing his tendons, activating his blood and strengthening his body, so he said another message: "Since you left, I have thought about my father, and I only feel that I can't do it on weekdays. You have been too busy with official business, and you have not been properly disciplined, which has made you unbearably stubborn. So far, you are only a scholar. It just so happens that your wife’s filial piety has passed, and your father has already found a famous teacher for you. After this incident is over, you can study with peace of mind. , Just prepare for the end of Qiu Wei."

When Lin Ruhai mentioned the imperial examination, Lin Ya's scalp went numb.

At the beginning, he felt that he was a person who had experienced the modern college entrance examination anyway, and he didn't feel how difficult the imperial examination was. Later, although he barely won a scholar, he was dealt with terribly.Thinking about the autumn and spring after that, it really makes people feel heartbroken.

It's a pity that the imperial examination is the right way. He wants to stand up and set up a family to glorify the lintel. This crime must be endured. ——Jia Yucun, a villain who avenges his favor and seeks fame and fortune, really almost became Daiyu's husband again, but at that time, Lin Ruhai happened to be moved by his adoptive Lin Yalin Chong, and he didn't come to invite him. The Yin's family in Yangzhou prefecture invited him.

Lin Ya bit the bullet and complied, and Lin Ruhai showed satisfaction, but he was so weak that he didn't give Lin Ya any more advice, but signaled that he was tired, and asked Lin Ya to just clean up the situation outside.

Lin Ya was frightened in the imperial examination, but it was no problem to deal with some Xiao Xiaoxiao, so he cheered up and helped Lin Ruhai lie down, and then pushed the door out, and asked Daiyu to go in with a smile to accompany his father, while he took Lin Chong out of the courtyard, facing He sat expressionlessly on the grand master's chair moved by the chief steward He Qi's order, and coldly looked at the servant who was kneeling on the floor.

As soon as Lin Ruhai fell down, these servants were taken into custody by a few chief stewards who were from the Lin family's family servants, looking at the roster one by one, and when Lin Ruhai regained his senses for the first time, he ordered people to arrest all suspects, regardless All the family members of the source came and knelt down in this open space, but all the family members of the suspect, regardless of age or gender, could not be exempted.

Up to now, these people have been kneeling upright for more than two days under the heavy rain and scorching sun. Yesterday, a woman with a big belly couldn't bear it and slipped her baby. , the rest of the old and weak women and children are also looking at it and will not be able to survive. How can the heads of each family not feel sorry for their own high-ranking children?They all hoped that the masters would come to interrogate them soon, so that they could have a good time.

As soon as Lin Ya was seated, one of the housekeepers of the late wife Jia Min, Qian Momo, hugged her one-year-old grandson and walked two steps on her knees. Private dealings with the servants of Zhen's family is not good for the master's family.

When Lin Ya heard this, she didn't move her brows. She just asked someone to carry the boy in Qianmao's arms to the corridor, and gave it to the woman standing there respectfully to feed him a few mouthfuls of rice porridge.After a while, with the child's mouthful, Qian Momo lay on the ground as if her bones had been pulled out, completely ignoring the resentment her in-laws looked at her when they were dragged out.

The rest of the people who were punished saw Qian Mama's little grandson slowing down, and they were really scrambling to save their family members a way out. Those who had a basis would report naturally, and those who had no basis would start biting. Show
