Heir of the Red Chamber

Although he had never met, but Lai shouted so loudly, Lin Chong naturally knew who Bao Erye and Lang Geer were.That year, he had just visited the ancestral hall with his elder brother, and his ancestors went to Yangzhou Lin's Mansion to adopt his wife's family relatives. He felt so fearful and fearful in his heart. He was afraid that he would not do well enough and lose face to his elder brother. Who would have thought that we would meet now Is this the case?

Lin Chong couldn't help sighing in his heart, but his face was very calm, and he didn't show any expression of disgust, just like treating the most ordinary guests, first bowing his hands to Jia Baoyu politely, and then accepting Jia Lan. gift.

This is not to say that Lin Chong has no objections to Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan.What is important in this world is not that one person does things and one person should be responsible, but that the father's debt is paid by the son as a matter of course.Since Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan are the descendants of the Jia family and enjoy the glory and wealth brought to them by the Jia family, they are of course one of the beneficiaries who murdered the Lin family, and there is no excuse.

It's just that this is outside the mansion after all, and it is surrounded by high-ranking officials and officials. Although the gatekeepers of each family are not too close, they may not know what to say, so why should I be a wicked person in the first place? It seems that the Jia family is reasonable.

But Jia Baoyu didn't know what was going on in Lin Chongsheng's mind. He thought that Lin Chongzhen was as soft and good-natured as Jia's mother said. Uncle Hate Lin was watching from the sidelines, unable to talk to Lin Chongduo.

But after a few steps, the way Jia Baoyu looked at Lin Chong had changed. Lin Chong felt his scalp go numb when Jia Baoyu looked at him, and he simply forgot to take care of the young Jia Lan. Taking a little bit bigger steps, he walked back behind Lin Ruhai in three steps and two steps in parallel, with a stern face and stopped talking.

Jia Baoyu's regret was completely wiped out when he met Shang Lin Ruhai's abyss-like eyes, and there was nothing left of his usual cleverness.

A person like Jia Zheng can frighten Jia Baoyu with a straight face, let alone Lin Ruhai, who is in a high position and decisive, is indifferent and alienated?Lin Ruhai just cast a glance at Jia Baoyu with the airs he usually used when handling official business outside, and he didn't even put pressure on Lin Ya as he did when he tested Lin Ya back then, let alone show the power to suppress his subordinates in the household department, Jia Baoyu had already hesitated. Words are gone.

It's strange to say that Jia Baoyu has always favored people with good looks. Not to mention his old man Jia Zheng, his appearance can be called a beautiful middle-aged man, and Lin Ruhai's temperament and appearance are not to be picky. Back then Even now, some people still remember Fengliu, and it is still very well maintained now, but Jia Baoyu is like avoiding cats and mice when facing them, and doesn't appreciate them at all.

On the contrary, Jia Lan, who was younger, didn't know whether he couldn't understand or was brave. The little man followed behind Jia Baoyu. Lin Ruhai took another look at him, but he wasn't afraid, his big black eyes looked at Lin Ruhai with admiration that was carefully concealed.

I remember when I was in the Hanlin Academy for my qualifications, because my knees were empty, Jia Min liked her natal nephew Jia Zhu very much. Every festival, I would tie a gold and silver bracelet with a long-life lock and send it back to Duke Rong. Lin Ruhai couldn't help but soften his expression when he looked at Jia Lan.

When Chen Xiao came back this time, he didn't send someone to tell him in advance. Before Lin Ruhai hurried out, he was in the study, dealing with the chores of the eldest son after he won the first prize, while admonishing the second son Lin Chong. He didn't even have time to change his clothes when he heard the news, so he hurriedly put on his cloak and greeted him. When he came out, he didn't bring any odds and ends that were usually rewarded for younger generations, so he simply untied a bat-pattern purse from his waist and handed it to Jia Lan.

"A little bit of old ink can add a little bit of ink fragrance. It's not worth anything. I just hope that you will work hard and make progress, and you will live up to your parents' expectations."

Lin Ruhai didn't like to use incense, and she didn't put incense pills in her purse, but put a few pieces of ancient ink from the Song Dynasty.This was back when Lin Ruhai's father was still alive. He was young and naughty and ruined a good piece of ink. The sore Lin Ruhai didn't sleep well all night, and he wasn't willing to touch his finger. He just let someone take a few. The nub went into his purse.Later, when the old father became ill, he supported the family business with his own strength. He exchanged a few purses, but a few pieces of ink stayed on his body all the time. Over the years, his body was also stained with a light ink fragrance.

Lin Chong had also heard about these inks before, and now he saw that Lin Ruhai gave the ink to Jia Lan lightly, and Jia Lan also bowed solemnly with red eyes and a small face to thank him, he couldn't help being a little surprised.

Could it be that such a big enmity before, with the master's temperament, can really let it go?Even if there was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Lin Chong would never believe it.

Sure enough, Lai Dagang, who was standing next to him with a cat waist, showed a relieved look, and wanted to wink at Jia Baoyu who dared not intervene, but Lin Ruhai continued with a simple sentence: "Study hard at home, and wait until you are an adult." It's not too late to go out."

There was no difference in expression and tone from when he encouraged Jia Lan just now, but which of the people present didn't know how to listen to what he said?Lin Ruhai didn't care whether the Jia family's descendants went out or not, he just told Jia Lan not to appear in front of him again.

From the beginning to the end, Lin Ruhai didn't want any of the Jia family to step into the Lin family's door. Speaking of this, it would be ugly to stick it on.

Lai Da sneaked a peek, and Master Lin already wanted to turn around.

As for Jia Baoyu, whose eyeballs are as precious as the Jia family's eyes, Lin Ruhai didn't even catch a glimpse of him, as if he was just a tree in front of Jia Lan, or the one Lin Ruhai didn't want to see the most.

Lai Da was so anxious that his brow was sweating, but there was no place for him to speak on such an occasion, and since the Lin family couldn't move too much, he could only try to widen his narrow eyes, hoping that the second master Bao would be a million dollars. Wan Wang understands what he means, and try to be more courageous at such a terrible time.

Jia Baoyu had been contemplating for so long, but he finally gathered up some courage. Although he didn't have half of the cleverness in the back house of Rongguo Mansion, he managed to say what he wanted to say with a tight voice.

"My uncle has been in Beijing for a long time, and my nephew has never shared my uncle's worries. I feel very scared. The old lady in the family also misses my cousin...and the two cousins ​​very much."

Before Jia Baoyu was thinking about the cousin of Lin’s family, she kept talking inconsequentially, until she blurted out the word cousin, only to realize that her words were inappropriate, and hurriedly included Lin Ya and Lin Chong, but she didn’t know that Lin Chong’s birthday was actually shorter He wants to be small.He wanted to continue talking about taking the brothers and sisters of the Lin family as guests, but was interrupted directly by Lin Ruhai.

"There is no need to talk about this matter anymore. I have already made a decision. Please go back and tell the old lady of your mansion that although Lin Hai is not talented, he still takes good care of his children and does not bother others."

Lin Ruhai didn't want to get angry with an ignorant junior, because it wasn't worth it at all.Not to mention Jia Baoyu, Lin Ruhai didn't even bother to pay attention to Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng's pair of fools.As for preaching or reprimanding, what can such rotten wood have to say?To reason with fools, it is better to go back and raise a parrot for teasing.

However, Lin Ruhai was very displeased with Jia Baoyu's tone when he mentioned Daiyu. They lost face.

Remembering that shortly after Daiyu was born, his wife Jia Min happily wrote a letter back to Beijing to announce the good news, and the old lady of the Jia family began to spread the benefits of Jia Baoyu to them and his wife in every possible way, and Lin Ruhai felt bored for a while.

Not to mention himself, even the wife who was a little moved at first stopped thinking after hearing about Jia Baoyu's bastard who started eating rouge and grabbing hairpin rings when he couldn't walk steadily. He's just a naughty dude.

Lin Ruhai lifted his feet and left, Jia Baoyu froze there, Jia Lan's small face was frighteningly pale, Lai Da was a slave, and he didn't have the guts to show his head again under the staring eyes of the servants of the Lin family.After looking at each other for a while, they finally slipped away after the door of Lin's house slammed shut.

Jia Baoyu has been held in the palm of his hand since he was born, and the entire Rongguo Mansion is about to revolve around him. When he goes out as a guest, everyone praises him. Even his old man, Jia Zheng, scolds him to make him look ashamed, but at the same time he values ​​him very much. When had he been ignored like this?It really doesn't save any face.

Lai Da didn't want to come to Lin's house to run into trouble from the beginning, but the old lady hit him on the head, and he couldn't do anything.This time the errand was really messed up, even a respectable person like Lai Da felt a little apprehensive, it was really Aunt Lin's words that were so outrageous that there was no way to report back to the old lady.

It was Jia Baoyu who said awkwardly: "Fortunately, Lan Ge'er got a reward from Uncle Lin, so we can't just take a trip for nothing."

He was really happy for Jalan.After all, this was Jia Lan's first time to go out seriously. Although he didn't even go in, it was not too bad to be rewarded by the elders.

Jia Lan blinked, moved his mouth but still didn't speak. He just lowered his head and fiddled with the purse that Lin Ruhai gave him. He was very careful not to damage the ink stick inside.

Lai Da pouted in his heart when he heard this.He has served Jia's family for so many years, and he began to think about the thoughts of his masters in the belly of his mother Lai. Of course, he knew that this phoenix-like second master Bao was telling the truth, and this master would never be jealous The other brothers and nephews, but Dudulan got a little favor from Mrs. Lin, so it's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse when he goes back.

They each have their own concerns here, so the carriage suddenly stopped, the driver in front screamed, Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan's uncle and nephew rolled into a ball in the carriage, Jia Baoyu knocked his head on the ground, and the oily skin on his head was broken , gasped in pain.

Lai Da saw that Jia Baoyu was injured, his soul was frightened, he rushed to protect the little ancestor, and was distracted to scold the coachman, but he was just getting started, when a strong man grabbed his ankle and got out of the car Li dragged him out and beat him up and down.

Not only Lai Da, this time the Rongguo Mansion's more than a dozen servants who went out with Jia Baoyu and his nephew were all pushed to the ground. Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan were fine, but they grew up so big. Dao-like battles?They were all stunned for a moment.

Jia Baoyu is the golden phoenix of the Jia family, so naturally the coachman wouldn't take such an ancestor to the downtown area, and the places where officials and eunuchs lived were the ones he walked.When they were beaten up, there were two families beside them. Unfortunately, the guards at the gate seemed to be rich and noble families on both sides, and the scuffles seemed to be servants, so they simply shrank back in the door and pretended not to see them.

This group didn't love to fight, they ran away after a few ruthless blows, leaving only the servants of the Jia family humming on the ground, Lai Dabi got up from the ground with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and couldn't care less about seeking revenge. He is about to send Jia Baoyu back home, who was shocked.

Jia Baoyu ran into such a bad thing when he went out alone for the first time. Not to mention what kind of troubles will happen when he returns to Rongguo Mansion, Lin Ruhai, Lin Chong and Chen Xiao, who had just watched enough drama outside the door, finally Waiting until the high-spirited Lin Ya.

Although the palace test is not his ability, today is also a major peak of Lin Ya's life, even if he is a human being in two lifetimes, he can't help but feel a little dazed, walking much faster than usual, rushing to the house like a gust of wind, tired The boy who wanted to pass on had to run all the way with his hat in one hand.

As soon as he entered the room, Lin Ya knelt down neatly. He didn't even use a ball cushion. He kowtowed three times to Chen Xiao and Lin Ruhai each firmly. His forehead hit the bluestone board, and the six heads came down on the spot. It's a little blue.

In fact, Lin Ya has always been uncomfortable with the custom of kneeling and kowtowing here. It's just that when he was young, he even knelt down before his scumbag biological father and vicious stepmother, and then he didn't hesitate to kneel down to a benefactor like Lin Ruhai.

Apart from the funeral of his biological mother and Mrs. Jia, and the adoption of the Lin family, this was the third time Lin Ya kowtowed sincerely.Without Lin Ruhai and his husband Chen Xiao, he would not be where he is today, and he will never forget the grace of rebuilding.

Both Lin Ruhai and Chen Xiao had solemn faces, and they sat upright to accept his salute. They didn't get up together until the ceremony was over, and helped Lin Ya up.

The number one scholar who is less than 17 years old, this is the first since the founding of the dynasty, even if it is mixed with power games, it is only Lin Ya who has the ability to break into the palace test, so that the saint can break through him.

Lin Chong had been standing straight behind Lin Ruhai, his eyes were red when he saw his elder brother striding in, his lips were trembling with excitement but he couldn't say a word, he could only desperately open his eyes wide, and looked at Lin Ruhai proudly. cliff.

Even though Lin Ruhai was adopted and had an admirable father and a smart younger sister, in Lin Chong's heart, only Lin Ya was his blood relative, the elder brother who supported the world for him.

This time his elder brother won the championship in one fell swoop, looking down on the scholars all over the world, Lin Chong only felt that he didn't know where to put his happy hands and feet.The two brothers have suffered for many years, and finally waited until today.

Lin Ruhai originally wanted to ask Lin Chong to come over and talk to Lin Ya, but when he turned around and saw Lin Chong happy, everyone couldn't help but smile, so he just left this silly boy to be happy, while he straightened his face and put on an admonition posture.

At any rate, they were father and son for several years. As soon as Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows, Lin Ya grinned and lowered his head, pretending to be listening to the training. Chen Xiao smiled and just ate his tea.It's rare for Lin Ruhai to be so generous today, using the top-quality Longjing that was awarded by the sage, and the total is only a few catties a year, and there is nowhere to buy it with money.

Out of the corner of his eyes, seeing Chen Ling picking up the teacup again, Lin Ruhai's face froze. It wasn't because he was stingy, but because Chen Ling stopped talking when he received the gift from Lin Ya since he entered the room and tasted the tea. It's like a cow drink, it's really no wonder he feels distressed.That is to say, this guy is also the champion of the new discipline at any rate, so he can be allowed once.

Feeling bad about himself, Lin Ruhai simply tilted his head slightly, and only looked at Lin Ya: "How is the palace examination? Why did the saint choose you? Let's talk about it in detail, don't add oil and vinegar."

It's not that Lin Ruhai didn't have a way to inquire about the situation in the hall at that time, but it's just that at this moment, there are all kinds of wars, and it is most taboo for courtiers to inquire about the news around him, so Lin Ruhai just relaxes and waits at home.Now that Lin Ya is back, of course he has to ask.

After all, he knew Lin Ya's abilities well, and this number one scholar was indeed very dehydrated.

As soon as Lin Ruhai said this, the smile on Lin Chong's face froze, but Lin Ya himself was not embarrassed at all, and told the story with all his heart.

There are only a few people who are eligible to be shortlisted for the palace examination and inspected by the saints. Lin Ya is tall and young, so he doesn't need to show anything special, everyone will know his identity.

At the beginning, the saint didn't show any special value for him.In fact, the saint sitting on the dragon chair has never opened his eyes since they filed into the palace to salute, as if he insisted on presiding over the palace examination in person before, and he was determined not to let any prince do it for him. Eyes repose.

The sage is the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, he just took a nap in the palace examination, and no one present dared to pluck his beard to persuade him, so the sage rested peacefully until the last tribute was writing.

Before Dai Quan, the great eunuch who was serving close to him, tentatively opened his mouth, the sage opened his eyes abruptly. His pair of cloudy eyes were still as powerful as before, and they still looked at the heroes picked out by Jinke one by one. , and finally stopped on Lin Ya.

"Is this the eldest son of the Lin Qing family from the Ministry of Household Affairs?" A smile floated on the cheeks that have been thinner recently, and then glanced at Zeng Dingyue, the Minister of Rites who has always been silent on the left: "Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated you yet. This old boy got such a good grandson-in-law, even I was one step too late. Present it."

Hearing the hint that he had robbed the son-in-law of the Tian family, Mr. Zeng directly bowed to confess his crime, but his words revealed that he was extremely satisfied with Lin Ya, and he was obviously very proud of his own insight.

That's the way it is said today, when he saw it, he laughed and uncovered it. First, he read Lin Ya's paper with Dai Quan's hand, and praised Lin Ya when he read a line. Suddenly deaf and dazzled, and turned into the same appearance as the wooden sculpture in the palace.

A paper has been read for more than half an hour now, and in the end, instead of ordering Dai Quan to pass it on to the princes and all the courtiers present to read it like before, Dai Quan directly asked Dai Quan to put it away, and he kindly called Lin Ya to the Before the throne.

"Young Feng is as good as the old Feng Sheng. Lin Qing has this son, so why worry about having no successors? Sure enough, the pillar of the country. Who is Lin Lang who is the number one scholar in the current department? What do you think?"

From now to now, I have only been awake for less than an hour, but I have already started to breathe a little while speaking, and the speed of speech is getting slower and slower, as if my spirit is not good. The fourth prince, Prince Zhong'an, Chu Rongqi, just wanted to persuade the emperor to take care of his health, but was caught I was shocked by the words of the top scholar of the current subject so easily.

It was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials who came back to his senses first, and said bluntly: "I think this is inappropriate. The son does not surpass his father, and Chen Chuanlu, who has a previous record, also has the talent of the top scholar, but because of his father, Chen Shilang stopped in Chuanlu and retired. In the second class, since Lin Shangshu was once a Tanhua, how can Lin Gongshi surpass his father?"

Although this rule has not been written into the rules and regulations, it is the consistent rule of this dynasty.In fact, except for No. 1 Chuanlu, the first and second best rankings, the rest of the rankings are not so particular, and when traced back to the year, it was just a big show.

Today is not a person who is good at accepting advice. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was sweating when he spoke. Who knows that the mood seems to be very good at the moment. He did not get angry after hearing such confrontation. A rare smile.

"Aiqing's words are wrong. You must know that at this time and at that time, the sons and daughters are better than the blue, and we can rest assured when we are old."

The last sentence was spoken very slowly today, but the voice was sharp and high-pitched.As soon as the words fell, the entire hall was so quiet that even the breathing of everyone could be heard clearly.

How many years have passed, and the sage is most jealous of others saying that he is old.At the beginning, he would follow the former prince from a loving father and a filial son to an immortal, but after a thorough investigation, he was just a strong father, but now he has become suspicious of the prince.

However, at this moment, the sage actually admitted that he was getting old in front of the princes, loyal ministers, and disciples of the Xinke Scholars, and openly said that "the blue is better than the blue".

Not to mention others, at least Lin Ya, who maintained a look of sincerity and fear after being called out today, noticed the momentary unnaturalness of the highnesses who were close at hand.

After Jinkou Yuyan confirmed Lin Ya's number one, he seemed to have exhausted his last bit of energy. The rest of the second place, Tanhua and the second and third places were now handed over to his ministers and several princes for public discussion. He drove back to the harem.

Lin Ya's eloquence has always been very good, and he has been very focused in the hall. He has not missed a single detail when he said it now. Lin Chong's eyes widened when he heard it, as if he couldn't believe that his brother's number one scholar was actually a saint. , Others didn't seem very convinced, but Lin Ruhai and Chen Xiao fell silent after hearing the saint's words.

The two of them didn't open their mouths. No matter how many things Lin Chong wanted to say to Lin Ya, he didn't dare to go overboard. However, Lin Ya didn't dare to speak rashly because he understood how terrible the saint's words were, so as not to disturb Lin Ruhai and Chen. Xiao's thoughts.

After a long time, Lin Ruhai narrowed his eyes slightly and looked out the window.

"Look at this day, I'm afraid it's going to be windy."

Lin Ya's heart moved, and he glanced at Lin Chong unconsciously, a little uncertain whether he wanted to speak more deeply in front of Lin Chong, but Lin Ruhai suddenly turned around, and looked at Lin Ya with a half-smile: "Chuangzi from the south, come up!" The person who sent out the breath is going out of the city today, right?"

The author has something to say: Ah, as long as 998, the scumbag author will take it home!In addition to meme da, but also papa papa! ?
