Heir of the Red Chamber

Seeing such a lonely expression on the younger brother who was brought up by one hand, Lin Ya only felt a slight pain in his heart, as if a thousand catty boulder was pressed in his throat, and he didn't know how to say the words in his stomach.

After a long time, Lin Yafang shook his head and sighed: "How can I blame you. Whoever blames you, I won't blame you. After all, you are doing this for me."

Originally, Lin Ya planned to have a good time on the first day, and then find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers for a walk today, and slowly talk about the matter, but Lin Chong couldn't wait, so he broke the matter first.

Even so, Lin Ya still wanted to have a detailed talk with Lin Chong.

"Change your clothes first. I heard from the stewards that there is a clear water pool behind Zhuangzi, which is quite wild. We might as well pack some snacks and dry food for a visit here. Bring a fire bag, and it will be fine then. Try your luck and see if you can catch a few live fish and roast them."

As he spoke, Lin Ya opened the box by the way and picked out a rosin-colored robe with cherry-red edges for Lin Chong to persuade him to wear it, saying that he was afraid of getting some muddy water today, maybe there would be scratches, so Lin Chong was not allowed to wear it. go by yourself.Lin Chong couldn't twist it, so he could only change it with a frown, and the hem was even half an inch shorter.

This time Lin Ya was stunned.

Although Lin Ya often said that Chong'er had grown up, in his heart, Lin Chong was still the child who would timidly hide behind him in the face of his sloppy stepmother and fierce biological father, but he did not expect that Lin Chong had really grown up Slightly taller than him.

Lin Chong seemed to be a little unbelievable, but he was more calm, and smiled at Lin Ya: "Even if I am ten inches taller than my brother, my brother will always be my brother. My brother always taught me when I was young that people depend on food, Everything is not as important as eating, let's go quickly."

The two brothers have both suffered a lot, so no matter what happened over the years, no matter how bad or depressed their mood was, they almost never delayed their meals, and they could fill their stomachs half full.

Lin Ya felt even more sour after hearing this.

When he was young, he fought against his biological father and stepmother, and Lin Chong accompanied him to endure hunger and hunger. When he was a little older, he acted recklessly and was thrown out to death by his stepmother, and Lin Chong was alone at home for those people. Be a cow and a horse.

When he was older, the two brothers adopted Lin Chong. Although he lived a prosperous life, he was busy with business and cared less and less for Lin Chong.Thinking about it now, he was indeed negligent.

Lin Ya didn't speak, and Lin Chong fell silent. The two brothers packed up some snacks and took a bundle, and went out.

Walking to the back mountain in one breath, only the greenery is within sight, as if there are no more troubles in the world, Lin Ya slowed down his pace, pondering how to speak.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chong took the lead again.

"Actually, my brother insisted on dragging me out to stay for a few days yesterday, so I guessed what my brother was going to say."

He folded a piece of grass and started weaving. As soon as Lin Chong finished speaking, the little grasshopper took shape.When his elder brother was forced to leave home and go north to run a business, he thought he would be left alone in the world, so he couldn't help crying and hid secretly to learn how his elder brother broke grasshoppers.Gradually, he seemed to be more proficient in weaving than his brother, but he never made it for his brother.

Lin Chong sighed quietly in his heart, and said softly: "My brother has taught me since I was a child. It seems that I haven't told my brother what is in my heart for a long time. Let me talk about it today."

Sometimes, Lin Chong really hopes that people can stay in the past forever.In this way, the elder brother's side will not become more and more full, and the world will not become larger and larger. It is unreasonable and ridiculous for him to stubbornly bury his head in the past.

"Actually, it's not that I don't know that what I do is not flattering, or even biased. I also know that Mr. Chen didn't like me from the very beginning. He thought I was pedantic, trying to gain fame, right from wrong, and cowardly."

When he said this, Lin Chong's expression was very calm, as if he was not the one who was rejected: "When I first found out, I was very depressed, and I didn't understand why I tried my best to follow the etiquette rules left by the sages, but in the eyes of others So unbearable."

"Later, I realized that besides etiquette and rules, there are human relationships, and the reputation is nothing more than close relatives. What I regret most is that I only wanted to be safe in my heart at that time, which almost harmed my brother's reputation."

Blinking his eyes, Lin Chong put the weaved grasshopper into the hands of Lin Ya who was watching him quietly, and grinned: "But I know, my brother won't blame me. My brother has loved and spoiled me since he was a child. But I I still let my brother down. I understand how close I am, but I can't treat the master as a father and the elder sister as a brother."

"If we are the master's own son, will the master have doubts because he thinks that I am ignorant and my brother is worldly? Will he change his likes and dislikes because he thinks I am confused? If we are really a family, the master will not be in love with my brother and my brother. I pick and choose among them, and easily stand on the sidelines."

"I don't want to avenge kindness and revenge. I will never do such foolish things back then. I will always remember the kindness of the Lin family to me. I am respectful and filial to the master, and love and protect the elder sister. But the real relatives in my heart will never There is only my elder brother. I am afraid that I will be cold, worry about my hunger, and teach me to read and write. In this world, only my elder brother is the only person who is good for me. What are other people compared to my elder brother?"

This is the first time that Lin Chong has expressed his thoughts so completely in front of Lin Ya. He no longer just responds obediently as before, and his voice gradually rises involuntarily.

"As for my sister-in-law, I know that my brother means the opposite to me. But I don't regret it. If my brother really has an accident, what the Zeng family thinks is daydreaming. As long as I have a sigh of relief, I will never tolerate it. Zeng The old man, the mother and the son owe a lesson. Did I not know that they wanted to ruin the marriage? Since the old man didn't reprimand me, then I should take it as acquiescing."

Seeing his elder brother's expression becoming serious, Lin Chong hurriedly finished speaking, for fear that Lin Ya would lose the courage to refute: "I didn't do this just for the sake of good manners, but for my brother's sake. If the matter falls to the elder sister or the heirs of the elder brother, I will definitely not deal with it like this."

Lin Chong looked at him like a stupid dog raised by a neighbor looked at a food bowl that was about to be snatched away when they were young. Lin Ya looked at him, and suddenly felt that those big principles were meaningless.

Maybe Lin Ruhai who was watching coldly was right.Love harms others, he always protects Lin Chong behind him, and also blocks the world that Lin Chong could see.

Not wanting to go any further, Lin Ya simply sat on the ground, and even patted the grass beside him, telling Lin Chong to sit down too.

"Actually, there are not so many right and wrong in the world, and human relations are even more bad debts. How to get close? How to become enemies? I'm afraid many times the people involved can't explain it clearly."

Just like when he was poor, he broke up the dim sum and shared the food with Lin Chong, Lin Ya looked at Lin Chong as if he were an equal adult: "We are brothers, close relatives, and this will never change. But we will also have our own wives and children, our own classmates, the same age, and best friends. My brother will not be the one who will accompany you to the end, but if you need it, I will do my best."

Lin Ya spoke so earnestly that Lin Chong asked the question that had been hidden in his heart like a ghost: "What if I don't get along with my sister-in-law?"

Seeing that Lin Chong said these words like throwing a bomb that he had been holding all along, Lin Ya laughed a little: "If you don't let you deal with each other, I will protect both sides. At most, I will be splinted."

With a simple sentence, the choking Lin Chong's eyes almost popped out, and after a long while he snorted in frustration: "I want to go out to study, brother let me go."

Lin Ya has been thinking about how to make Lin Ruhai take back his life these few days. After all, Lin Chong has never traveled far alone, so everything should be done step by step.Unexpectedly, Lin Chong himself wanted to leave, and he was a little speechless for a while.Lin Chong had a smile on his face again.

"These days, I've been afraid that my brother will blame me and won't get close to me anymore. Since my brother doesn't blame me, I want to go around, so as not to be like a frog at the bottom of a well and cause trouble for my brother."

Lin Chong feels that he is far worse than Lin Ya in his conduct and knowledge of the world, and he really loses his brother's face, so he might as well go out for a walk, maybe he can figure out some truths.

Lin Chong had already made up his mind, but Lin Ya tried to persuade him for a long time, but he couldn't persuade him. Thinking about Lin Ruhai who was sitting peacefully at home, it was Lin Chong who ate and drank openly, and his appetite was poor.

And Lin Chong seemed to have developed his courage this time. After returning to the mansion, he went to Lin Ya's study to talk from time to time. Anyway, he left the Imperial College temporarily, and he didn't have to pack his luggage himself, so he was really free.

Once, he even held a Qingming tea and talked about gossip in a coquettish and unrestrained way.

It wasn't anyone else who was talking about it, it was the second daughter of the Jia family that the old lady of the Jia family had intended to give to Lin Ya when they first adopted them to the Lin family.At that time, she still wanted to be the mistress of the Lin family, but in the end she was promised to the Niu family in Shanxi.

Anyway, she is also the daughter of the Duke's family, and she was promised to a merchant family, and she was also a merchant family who was implicated by the sixth emperor brother who was bestowed to death today. The family style of Rongguo Mansion is really shocking.

Lin Ya knew that Lin Chongtete said these women's words because he felt refreshed, and hoped that he would be happy when he heard it.

What the Jia family did at the beginning, in the eyes of everyone, including Lin Ya himself of course, was a kind of contempt, and more seriously, it was a humiliation to him as a person.It's just that their brothers were very soft-spoken at that time, so they could only let it go.

Later, the enmity between the two families became deeper and deeper, and the Lin family became more and more prosperous while the Jia family became more and more declining. They were very happy in their hearts.

But today, Lin Ya, who is sure about the rewards for his family in the future and the ending of Jia's family, can no longer have any feelings for Jia's affairs.

Once people start looking down on something, they don't care too much.

"You should go out and broaden your horizons."

Lin Chong was so choked that he didn't even want to drink tea with a single word.
