Rebirth of the forest sister of the Red Chamber

Adoption pays attention to the method of bringing in relatives, and it has caused many questions.

There is a stack of papers in his hand, and there are only two family members in the study, Lin Zhong and Wang Gui, who are in charge outside. Both of them grew up with Lin Ruhai, and they are extremely reliable in terms of love and loyalty.

"In my opinion, apart from Lin Heng, Lin Yue, and Lin Zhang, there is nothing suitable." Lin Ruhai handed the paper to Lin Zhong and Wang Gui, and Lin Zhong took it carefully. Lin Ruhai smiled: "It's not just that we need to find a reliable one, but the latter is also the uncle you want to follow. You can't let three or four generations of you stop here."

Only then did Lin Zhong and Wang Gui get together to watch, and after discussing for a few more words, Lin Zhong cupped his hands and said, "Old slave has seen that the three candidates are all good, let the master decide."

"Actually, I prefer Lin Heng!" Lin Ruhai wrote the word Lin Heng on the paper.

The faces of the two were relaxed. This Lin Heng was ten years old, and he belonged to the offshoot line. Both his parents died in accidents before he was five years old, and his younger siblings had not yet had time to be born. The only relatives in the matrilineal family were his grandmother and second aunt. This second aunt is married far away, and basically they go together twice a year. His father is the only son, and there is only one aunt who is still alive. Now Lin Heng lives with the old servant. He has studied in a private school for five years. Read the article It looks relatively stable, and there are no other close relatives or distant relatives. It is simply made for them.Lin Yue belongs to the concubine, the same age as Lin Heng, and also able to read and write, but there are more collateral relatives, besides the two older sisters, there are also uncle and aunt. Lin Zhang is younger than the other two. They are closer together, but people's hearts are unpredictable. It is even more difficult to consider the second son and his parents alive, let alone just a little poorer.

Putting down his pen, he said to them, "Shut up the day after tomorrow, and you will go with my master."

"Yes!"

On this day, there was no snow, and the wind was not strong. Lin Ruhai asked someone to get a green oil tent cart. Jia Min knew that he was going out, so he ordered the boys to pack up the thick mattresses, wrapped around their hands, and added a big cloak trimmed with green bamboo and white background and tiger fur. , prepared the daily meeting ceremony, and Lin Zhong was driving the car. Lin Zhong was wearing a leather jacket and a muff made by his own mother-in-law, and he cleaned up neatly!

Lin Ruhai watched the people outside watching the scenery through the screen window, Lin Zhong yelled while driving the car.

Seeing Lin Zhong's self-satisfied look, Lin Ruhai shook his head inwardly. Lin Zhong and Wang Gui followed him since they were young. Lin Zhong has a little bit of a temper, but he always likes to do some troublesome things first, and Wang Gui will Be sure, the two people outside are quiet and moving, which relieves him a lot. Lin Ming and his wife are in charge of the inner courtyard. Waiting for the maid, the two saw each other right, and then got married with Jia Min's help, and lived a happy life.

There were a lot of pedestrians along the way, even in the suburbs. Lin Zhong saw a tea shop in front of him, so he turned his head and asked, "Master, there is a tea shop in front, why don't you stop and add some hot water?"

"also!"

Lin Zhong first parked the car under the tree, quickly took off the kettle on the car, and went to the store to fill it with water.

"Guest officer, would you like some warm buns? We have vegetarian stuffed buns and meat stuffed buns here." Xiao Er pointed to the steaming steamer. Lin Zhong remembered that he was still a little hungry, so he nodded: "Then get one of each." steamed stuffed bun."

Xiao Er poured water, wrapped the buns, and charged Lin Zhong five dollars.

"Hey, Xiao Er, did you pay less?" Lin Zhong remembered that a steamed stuffed bun cost two dollars before, but this water is only one dollar?

Xiao Er smiled and said: "This water is nothing more than charcoal fire. If there is a well in our backyard, I will charge you a fee."

Lin Zhong thanked him, and went back cheerfully with the kettle in his hand. When Lin Ruhai saw the paper bag, he knew it contained the contents. Lin Zhong chuckled, and quickly gave the plain stuffed bun to Lin Ruhai: "Master, this plain stuffed stuffed bun is still yours. !"

Lin Ruhai didn't bother to argue with him, so he started to eat the buns as soon as he took them. This shop is famous for its plain stuffed buns all over the city. Since the owner's mother is too old to move away, the shop has been open all the time. People who pass by always want to buy it. One or two buns to eat.

After about an incense stick, they arrived at the small town, where Lin Heng's family was. Lin Ruhai asked Lin Heng to leave the car at the back door of a restaurant, and the two of them went to the private school where Lin Heng was studying.

The so-called private school is to use the clean room vacated by oneself and put a few pairs of chairs.There were seven or eight students sitting in it, the biggest one was Lin Heng, sitting in the first seat on the left hand side, and standing next to him was a young man about six feet five years old, about 30 or [-] years old, dressed in clean clothes There are some whitish blue-gray cotton robes, surnamed Chen, single-named Li, called Mr. Chen.

The other students were shaking their heads while reading, only Lin Heng looked at the husband, and the husband looked at the paper in his hand, the more he looked at the paper, the more joyful his face became: "Brother Heng, this is better than my previous writing!" Lin Heng kept tense There was also a slight smile on his face, and the gentleman sighed: "Unfortunately, I am limited, otherwise you can improve even more!" Seeing Lin Heng shaking his head, he said: "Your handwriting is still a little worse, I Look here again to see if there are any good copybooks for you to copy!"

Lin Heng took the article and said softly: "Mr.'s handwriting is very good. You don't need to find any copybooks for me. Mr. will take the provincial examination in the coming year. We people's calligraphy is not enough for Mr.'s use."

Chen Li said in his heart that it was a pity, this Lin Heng was talented and intelligent, and now he can compare to him who took the Tongsheng Examination back then, but his family was poor, so he had to persuade Lin Heng to take the exam first, at least it would be convenient for him to get the fame of a scholar act.

After school, Lin Heng packed up his things and came out first. He walked to the door of his house and saw Lin Ruhai and Lin Zhong standing there as if they were waiting for him.

Lin Ruhai could see Lin Heng's appearance clearly: his face was neat and tidy, he was wearing a cotton robe, and a faded wishful thinking button was hanging from his waist.

Lin Heng first bowed his hands and saluted: "What advice do you two gentlemen have?"

Lin Ruhai stepped forward to support Lin Heng: "Don't dare, I'm here to find you." Lin Heng unlocked the door first, turned sideways and respectfully said: "Then please come in and talk, sir."

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he looked a little dilapidated, there were no flowers and plants in the courtyard, only two bare trees remained, Lin Heng first asked Lin Ruhai and Lin Zhong to sit down in the main room: "Please wait a moment. "

Lin Heng put down the roller blind, and a moment later, he came in with a teapot and poured a glass of water for Lin Ruhai and Lin Zhong: "There is no good tea at home to entertain guests, sir, please drink a glass of water to warm up."

"I'm going to Lin Ruhai, I'm looking for you to discuss something." Lin Ruhai didn't beat around the bush, and directly admitted his identity.

"Hello Master Lin! Forgive me for my stupid eyes!" Lin Heng saluted Lin Ruhai again, and then sat on the right hand side with Lin Ruhai's support: "I don't know what Master Lin is looking for boy!"

Lin Ruhai explained the purpose of coming, Lin Heng thought for a long time, and asked a question: "Is it because my father has no successor after I adopted?"

Lin Ruhai said frankly: "For the time being, yes, I only have one daughter, Daiyu, and I don't want my stepson to be involved too much. After a hundred years, my stepson will be in charge of everything in my Lin family."

Lin Heng fought against heaven and earth, and agreed to Lin Ruhai, the future is extremely bright, but his father is about to die, how can he agree, for a while, Lin Heng didn't know how to answer.

Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and smiled: "Of course you can choose a son once you get married and then live as your father's heir and grandson."

Lin Heng asked again: "No one in the clan will agree to my adoption." Lin Ruhai laughed again: "You don't need to worry about this!"

Lin Heng's heart sank, and he stood up and said, "Then it's up to Mr. Lin to decide."

The two of them agreed to come to pick up Lin Heng the day after tomorrow, so they managed to get this matter done years ago.
