Kuai Chuan's brother is the real boss

In the early morning, the family had breakfast together as usual, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai were talking about family affairs, Daiyu used to like to listen to this kind of gossip, but today her eyes always looked at Jiang Yan beside her from time to time.

Jiang Yan took a soup bag and put it on a small plate in front of Daiyu, "Why does Yu'er keep looking at me today?"

"It's nothing." Daiyu shook her head, picked up the soup dumpling and was about to eat it, but because she was a little absent-minded, she was accidentally scalded by the hot soup inside.

Jia Min hurriedly asked the maid to pour a glass of water, and asked, "Why do you look dying, did you not have a good rest last night?"

"I just accidentally burned it, mother, you don't have to worry." Daiyu drank her saliva, seeing that she was fine and Jia Min didn't think much about it, she just asked her to eat more, the body will get better and better if she eats more.

Daiyu raised her eyes and met her brother's warm eyes, thinking that Zi Ling's words last night were derived from the true feelings in her brother's letter.

Zi Ling also said that she would always be with her. She always wanted a sister to accompany her. Previously, sister Yinglian came to Yangzhou and had to separate. She had already made an agreement with Zi Ling last night, and Zi Ling was willing to be her. sister.

Originally, she wanted to tell her father, mother and brother at this time, but Zi Ling said that she could not tell anyone about her existence, otherwise she would disappear, so this can only be a secret between the two of them.

After breakfast, Lin Ruhai went out to do business, Jia Min took care of the affairs of the house, Jiang Yan went to class with Mr. Wen, and Daiyu went back to her room to continue her unfinished embroidery. The whole family was doing their own things.

But Daiyu is obviously not thinking about embroidery today, she has been thinking about Ziling all the time, the letter is under her pillow, will the maid find the existence of Ziling when she makes her bed?If you know, what should you do if Ziling is gone?

Thinking about it, Daiyu let the needle point pierce her finger as soon as she was distracted, and exclaimed in pain. Nurse Lian looked over and saw blood beads coming out of her fingertip, and quickly covered it with a handkerchief, "Miss, what is this today?" What's the matter, I was scalded during breakfast, and now I'm still pierced, do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Nurse, I'm fine, don't worry, I'm just a little sleepy." Daiyu said with big black and white eyes, "I'll go to bed and lie down for a while."

"Okay, miss rest first, I'll let the kitchen prepare some meals that miss likes to eat, let's do this after we have recovered our energy."

He took off Daiyu's coat, saw that Nanny Lian went out after she closed her eyes, heard the sound of footsteps going away, Daiyu quickly took out the envelope from under the pillow.

"Sister Ziling, come out, I'm the only one here." Daiyu called softly, worried that the maid guarding outside would hear.

However, no matter how Daiyu called, the character spirit that appeared last night did not appear now. When I opened the book, it was all written by my brother.

There is no evidence of the existence of the word spirit, as if what happened last night was just her dream.

Daiyu was a little disappointed, put away the letter, forced herself not to think about Zhou Gongmengdie last night, lay on the soft bed, and fell asleep unconsciously.

In a trance, Daiyu felt as if she had come to a paradise, with green mountains and green waters, surrounded by flowers, her nostrils were also filled with the fragrance of flowers, and there were a few birdsong in her ears from time to time.

Looking up, she saw an oriole flying in front of her, and the next moment a white light flashed in front of her, and the oriole turned into a word spirit and smiled at her.

"Sister Ziling."

"I'm sorry, I can't get out of the book during the day, so I can only bring you to the book." Zi Ling smiled and took Daiyu's little hand, and pulled her to sit beside a big tree. The shade covered the two of them, and the whole body was warm but not dazzling.

"So, sister Ziling, are you real? I'm not dreaming."

"Of course not." Ziling asked Daiyu to look at the hands they held together, "This is the world in the book, where you can really feel me, do you feel the warmth of my hand? "

With warm palms, holding her small hand with her big hand, Daiyu nodded, "It's really great, it's not a dream, I really have a sister in the future."

Ziling nodded Daiyu's small nose, and said with a smile: "Although my sister can't play outside with you, she can play with you here. This book is our secret base."

Speaking of Ziling took out a fruit and handed it to Daiyu, Daiyu was dumbfounded, because Ziling took it out of nowhere, as long as she stretched out her hand, the fruit would appear in her hand by itself.

"I have already said that I am Ziling. Of course I can do whatever I want in the book." Ziling took out a pen again out of thin air, "Has Yu'er heard the story of the magic pen Ma Liang? This pen The pen is similar to Ma Liang's pen, no matter what you write or draw, you can get it, of course, it is only used in the book and cannot be taken out."

Speaking of Ziling, he drew a beautiful and delicate peony in the air with a pen, and in an instant, there was a peony growing gratifyingly on the grass in front of Daiyu.

"It's amazing." Daiyu didn't want to eat the fruit in her hands at all, and looked around, "So everything here is drawn by you, sister?"

"Of course, I drew them all." Zi Ling looked proud, "Do you want to try, Yu'er?"

"Can I?" Daiyu was eager to try.

Ziling handed the pen to Daiyu, and Daiyu thought for a while, and drew a bird in the air, and when the pen fell, the bird began to flap its wings in the air.

Daiyu smiled and was about to speak when she saw the bird flapped its wings a few times and then fell straight down. Ziling hurried to pick it up, and Daiyu followed. The bird's eyes were closed tightly, as if it had lost its breath. .

Daiyu was astonished, "How could this happen?"

The word spirit tapped the little bird's forehead, and the little bird regained its energy in an instant, flapping its wings and flying away.

"The reason why this bird is like this is not because Yu'er is not good at drawing, but because Yu'er has no spiritual power, so the bird she draws can't fly." Zi Ling explained, seeing Daiyu's low and down Head, took her hand, "But I have one that can make Yu'er have spiritual power, do you want to know about Yu'er?"

"I think, I want to know, good sister, just tell me." Daiyu begged.

Just a six-year-old girl, she couldn't resist the temptation of such miraculous things, so she immediately followed Ziling's instructions and began to practice.

And their actions were clearly seen by Jiang Yan in the water mirror. The word spirit is not his phantom. After all, the phantom still needs to be done by himself, and this word spirit is an oriole he found.

After motivating Huang Liniao's sanity, she asked her to help teach Daiyu how to practice. Of course, the method of cultivation was given by him instead of following the way of Huang Liniao's practice.

This is the best way he can think of to get Daiyu to start cultivating. It doesn't require him to come forward, but it can achieve the effect.

In the evening, when Daiyu was asleep, Oriole flew back to Jiang Yan's room and told him about Daiyu today.

"Yu'er is very good. She was able to successfully draw a little butterfly just after she started practicing."

Jiang Yan nodded, "Daiyu is naturally intelligent, and I don't expect her to become a god, as long as she keeps going, it doesn't matter how slow she is."

"I know this, water flows forever, I have been in the world for so many years, and I have seen all kinds of things in the world, you can rest assured." The oriole gave Jiang Yan a reassuring look, and then changed back into an oriole and flew away from the window.

After this, Daiyu became healthier than before. Although she didn't take medicine for the past few years, her face was always pale with a kind of sickness.

Now that he started to practice, his complexion is rosy, the light in his eyes is brighter than before, no matter what he does, he is full of energy, and the smile on his face is even brighter.

If Daiyu used to be like a weak Xizi, now she is a bright and beautiful girl.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Ruhai's three-year term as Yangzhou inspector censor is about to arrive, and he needs to return to Beijing to report on his work, and depending on Lin Ruhai's intentions, it is very likely that he will become an official in the capital.

In the past few years, he has not experienced the pain of losing his wife or children. Although Lin Ruhai is not as strong as a martial arts practitioner, he is still healthy. If there is no accident when he returns to Beijing this time, he will be promoted.

Promotion is certainly a good thing, but Jia's family is about to go down. It's his Yue's family. Even if they are not implicated as officials in Beijing, how can he do nothing with Jia Min around?And once he opened his mouth, the emperor's wrath would be a big disaster for the Lin family.

Jiang Yan knew this because of his memories of the Jia family, and he could deduce this point. Even though Lin Ruhai was an official in the court, even though he had not been in Beijing for many years, he was still clear about the affairs of the court, so he naturally expected this.

They have been husband and wife for many years and had a son and a daughter together. He still doesn't want her to worry. All he can do now is to stabilize his position in the court.

At the same time, try to draw a clear line with the Jia family, and when the Jia family falls one day, he will lend a helping hand where it does not interfere with the emperor's plan, and there is nothing more he can do.

"Brother, don't you want us to go to the capital?" When the family was about to pack their bags and go to the capital, Jiang Yan proposed to stay.

Seeing Daiyu's small face wrinkled together, Jiang Yan smiled and said, "It's going to be August soon, I want to go after I participate in Qiu Wei, Yu'er and my parents will go first, and I will wait for my brother for more than a month." Just go."

"Brother..." Daiyu is now eight years old, and she has a deeper understanding of the imperial examination. She knows the process of the imperial examination from scratch, and also knows whether the "women take the imperial examination" mentioned by her brother is true or not. possible.

Now seeing my brother working so hard, I suddenly feel a little distressed. How many people can't make further progress in their lives, and my brother is only 13 years old. Such hard work is moving.

He became a scholar at the age of ten, and participated in Qiu Wei at the age of 13. Even Lin Ruhai and others did not think that Jiang Yan could pass the exam once, but anyway, it is good for his son to have such a self-motivated heart. Lin Ruhai and Jia Min are very supportive .

Lin Ruhai couldn't wait for the day when he returned to Beijing, so he left behind some trustworthy people to escort Jiang Yan to Beijing after the exam, and then he took his wife and daughter to the capital.

The last time he returned to Beijing was more than ten years ago. Looking at the scenery on this road that has long been different from the past, Lin Ruhai could not but lament the time flies, and the changes that have happened to him and his family over the years.

Jia Min's heart was not so peaceful either. She married her husband, and she hadn't seen her mother and elder brother for many years. As time went by, the closer she was to the capital, the more excited she became, and she suddenly understood what it means to be "close to the country". kind of feeling.

The Lin family has a house in the capital, which has been guarded by several servants all these years. Before returning to Beijing, Jia Min sent someone to clean it up a few months ago. Now they can move in when they come to Beijing.

As soon as Lin Ruhai and his party entered the house, the news reached Jiamu in Rongguo Mansion. Jiamu couldn't hide her excitement, and asked quickly, "How is Min'er? There are two children, are you feeling unwell from the bumps along the way?" "

"It's all good, old ancestor don't worry, the young lady asked the servant to come back to report to the old ancestor, and after she settles down, she will bring the young lady to pay respects to the old ancestor." The boy replied with a smile.

Mother Jia nodded again and again, and heard the young man say, "It's just that Young Master Biao didn't come to Beijing with him this time. He said he was preparing for the Qiuwei exam at his hometown in Gusu, and he would come over after a while."

"The Autumn Examination? Isn't that only for scholars to participate? Jue'er is only 13 years old." Jia Zheng asked doubtfully.

"I don't know about the second younger brother. Jue'er was already a scholar three years ago, so he can naturally take the Qiuwei exam." Jia She said coldly, "Speaking of which, Baoyu is almost ten years old. I don’t know if Baoyu can do something in the examination room in the future?”

Jia She couldn't hide the excitement in his words. The ancestors always loved their youngest son the most, and they also loved Baoyu like an eyeball. He kept him by his side. In the past, there was no comparison in his own home, but now he has one that can be compared. Yes, let's see how his second brother, who refuses to be left behind in everything, will do.

Of course Jia Zheng knew that his elder brother was waiting to see him having fun, and he also hated that iron could not be made of steel, a boy who was spoiled and spoiled.

Seeing Jia Zheng's gloomy face, Jia's mother was afraid that he would go back to Baoyu to preach again, "Okay, I'm tired here too, you two go your own way, wait two days. Come back when your sister comes back."

Jia amnesty and Jia Zheng stepped down, and Mother Jia sent someone to find Baoyu, and hurriedly called him to her side to protect him, so that his old man would not trouble him again because of his unhappy heart. The reason for being a scholar.

They are all good boys, each with his own destiny.

These days, Baoyu heard Jiamu talk a lot about his aunt. He heard that her aunt gave birth to a daughter, one year younger than him, who happened to be born on the day of Huachao Festival. It is a good festival, and she must be very beautiful. .

There are many sisters and sisters in the family. A year ago, Aunt Xue's sister Bao also came to live at home. Although there are so many people playing with him, this does not prevent him from looking forward to the plain, masked cousin.

Hearing what his grandmother said about how beautiful and immortal his aunt was in the past, he was even more looking forward to it.

He heard that their family had already moved to Beijing. He was looking forward to it day and night. Finally, after five days of looking forward to it, he heard that his aunt and uncle brought his cousin here after school. Uncle and uncle are in the front hall. Aunt And my cousin is in the grandmother's yard.

I couldn't wait to rush over, and just entered the yard when I heard my grandmother's voice from inside, and stepped in quickly, "Old ancestor."

"I'm back, come and meet your aunt and cousin."

Baoyu looked to Jia Mu's side, where a beautiful and dignified lady was sitting, and beside her was a beautiful girl with a demeanor like a fairy.

"I've met my aunt. Hello, cousin." Baoyu saluted, and seeing Daiyu salute him, he hurried forward to help him, "You don't need to be too polite, cousin."

It's just that the hand that was stretched out was dodged before it touched anyone, Jia Min pulled Daiyu to her side, and said with a smile: "This is Baoyu, mother will take care of her very well."

Jia's mother was happiest when Baoyu was praised, "I have held her in front of me since she was a child, and I don't have to worry about raising her. But you, I heard that you were weak when you gave birth to Jue'er, and then you were weak when you gave birth to Daiyu. , now that Daiyu is fine, it can be seen that you have bothered."

"Actually, it's okay. It's just that the first few months after giving birth were a bit difficult, and then it will gradually get better. Don't worry, mother." For his mother whom he hasn't seen for many years, Jia Min naturally reports good news but not bad news. Tell her that when she almost died, it must have caused the old lady to shed tears.

Daiyu doesn't have many memories of her childhood, but her memory of the bitterness of the medicine is still fresh, and now she feels a little sad when it is mentioned.

Seeing this, Baoyu quickly asked, "Cousin, is she unwell? Is it true that she has recovered from her childhood illness? There is an imperial doctor in the palace that I know well, how about taking a look?"

"I'm really all right now, cousin don't need to worry about it." Daiyu frowned, her attitude towards her when they first met was probably too warm, she didn't like it.

Seeing that Daiyu frowned again, Baoyu felt anxious for no reason, "Don't blame me, cousin, it's because I feel very familiar with my cousin, as if I've seen her before, why don't we just see her again today?"

What and what is this, Daiyu has never seen such a powerless person before, and she immediately frowned even tighter, "You think I know me but I don't know you, how can two strangers be regarded as two people?" Long time no reunion?"

In the room besides Jia Mu, Jia Min, and Daiyu Baoyu, there were three girls, Tanchun Yingchun and Xichun. Seeing that Daiyu was angry, Tanchun hurried over and said, "Don't be as knowledgeable as him. He doesn't even have a gatekeeper on his lips. What do you think?" Just say what you want, just treat him as nonsense and talk in your sleep."

"Since that's the case, I won't care about it." Having said that, what else can Daiyu say.

Seeing that she finally stretched her brows, Baoyu didn't fear her even though she misunderstood him a bit. We will meet each other more in the future in Beijing and China. When there is always an explanation, he asked again, "I wonder if my sister has jade?"

"Jade?" Daiyu's eyes were full of doubts, "Jade is not such a precious thing, why does my cousin think that our Lin family can't even get a piece of jade?"

The more Daiyu thought about it, the angrier she became, what was going on with this cousin, who said such nonsensical things, he was handsome but never thought he was a stupid goose.

Jia Mu and Jia Min were talking on the sidelines, but when they heard nothing, they looked over, "Baoyu, what's the matter, why is my sister angry? But you provoked her?"

"Grandmother, my cousin is separated from me, old ancestor, please help me coax my cousin, don't annoy me." Baoyu begged Jiamu.

Pai Mo said Daiyu in this way, even Jia Min thought it was inappropriate when he saw it, he was about to be ten years old, he was already considered a big child, but he still acted like a baby in his grandmother's arms, he didn't look like a man at all.

However, Mother Jia didn't notice Jia Min's displeasure, and said, "I made my cousin angry. You must have done something wrong. I can't help you this time. You should think about how to make amends to your cousin."

Mother Jia pretended not to care about anything. She just wanted to give the two children a chance to be alone. Ever since she found out that her daughter had given birth to a daughter many years ago, she had this idea. When she met Daiyu today, she really did what she thought. As good as that, the idea is even more so.

Jia Min didn't know anything, she understood Jia's mother's intentions in the blink of an eye, logically speaking Baoyu was her nephew, she didn't get along with her second sister-in-law in the past, but she and her second brother were still very close, and her nephew also She has been raised by her mother's side for so many years, but why can't she like this nephew?

Seeing Daiyu holding her arm tightly, her whole body expressing rejection, she knew that she definitely didn't like this cousin very much.

"Yu'er, let me have some personal words with your grandmother, you go and go with Sister Lian and give the presents we brought from Gusu to the sisters."

Tanchun, a human being, naturally saw the trickiness in this, stepped forward and took Daiyu's hand affectionately, "Sister and I come, I will take you to my yard, let us sisters get close to each other."

"Okay, my cousin will lead the way."

Daiyu has always been the youngest at home. Now that she came to Jia's house, she suddenly had two younger sisters and another older sister. She thought she would be as close as Ziling, but she found that she didn't care about them at all. Not close.

It's as if there is a natural barrier between people, which is usually invisible and maintains the harmony and tranquility on the surface. When there is a disagreement, this barrier will lie between the two people.

But compared to being in the same room as Jia Baoyu, Daiyu would rather leave with Tanchun and the other three. She won't be here for a long time, so there shouldn't be any differences in a short period of time.

Baoyu still wanted to follow, but she was stopped by Nanny Lian at the gate of Tanchun Courtyard, "Master Biao, please stay, our girl is inside, so it may be difficult for Master Biao to enter."

"I'm going because Sister Lin is here. Why are you stopping me?" Baoyu was puzzled. He used to go to his sister's yard as he liked, but when he was ever blocked, he was a little annoyed for a while.

Sister Lian didn't care what Jia Baoyu was like in the past, or what the rules of the Rongguo Mansion were, but since the madam asked her to follow the young lady, she must not let the young lady see those people she didn't want to see.

Obviously, the person in front of her was the person Daiyu didn't want to see.

Baoyu was angry and annoyed, "This is the Rongguo Mansion. I don't care about your age because of your age, but you don't want to bully me. I want to see my cousin, what's wrong?"

"Master Biao is not right. How dare I bully you? It's just that since ancient times, men and women have different seats at seven years old. Both Master Biao and our lady have passed this age. If people spread the word, our lady's innocence will be broken." Do you still want Yu?"

If Mother Lian continued to be tough, Jia Baoyu would not be able to say anything, but now it was obvious that she was retreating, and Jia Baoyu stopped immediately. Of course, he could not do anything to hurt his cousin.

"Since this is the case, I will not go in, and I will also ask the nanny to tell my cousin that I did not intend to offend her today, and I will definitely apologize and ask for her forgiveness in the future."

"Oh, Master Cousin, please don't do it. It's really unattractive to make an apology. It's even more unsightly for our young lady to be shirtless."

Jia Baoyu was just a metaphor, she didn't expect Nanny Lian to say that, her face flushed immediately, she didn't know if she was anxious, annoyed, angry or ashamed, or a combination of both.

She turned around and ran away, seeing that no one was there, Mother Lian entered the courtyard, the three little sisters were talking, so she asked someone to bring up the presents, and Daiyu gave them to the sisters herself.

This day's experience was very bad for Daiyu. She went to an unfamiliar environment and met someone she didn't like, which made her feel unhappy all day.

She wanted to tell her mother her truest thoughts, but when she thought of her mother and grandmother not seeing each other for many years, and the scene of the two hugging and crying when they first arrived in Rongguo Mansion, she couldn't bear to say these things to disturb her mother.

"But I think you should talk about it. Relatives need to be close. If you don't tell your feelings truthfully, how can you be close?" Zi Ling picked up the fruit drawn by Daiyu and bit it. Said with a mouthful.

Because of her depressed mood, Daiyu had already painted a table full of fruits. During the past three years, she followed the practice. Although the spiritual power in her body was not enough to paint mountains and seas, such small fruits were still not a problem.

In the world of books, what is drawn will always remain unchanged. If you draw too much fruit, you are not afraid of rotting. The spiritual power contained in the body can be used outside.

Daiyu leaned against the table with her head supported, and sighed silently, "I don't know when my brother will come, I miss him a little bit."

"It should be soon. It will be August soon. After the exam, you can set off on the road. It will take only a few days to get there." Zi Ling said.

"Hey... I'm thinking about what to do in the future? Daddy has been promoted and will live here for a long time. I don't want to see him all the time, but I don't know how to hide from him. past."

Daiyu's face was full of sorrow, and Ziling stepped forward to smooth her frown, "Don't frown all the time, like a little old man, it's not easy for you to avoid it, as long as you don't want to see it, you can make Lian Mammy dismissed it, can he force his way in?"

"But will my mother be unhappy? After all, Baoyu is her nephew. Seeing her today, she likes Baoyu quite a lot."

"So you have to tell the truth. Madam is your biological mother. Could it be that you are not as good as a nephew who has only met once in her heart?"

Of course Daiyu knew that she and her elder brother were the most important people in her mother's heart, and that even her father would have to be in the back row, and because of this, she didn't want to make things difficult for her mother, "Let me think about it."

Zi Ling looked at her and said nothing. After getting along for many years, she also really liked Daiyu. She met many people when she was an oriole, and Daiyu was the most beautiful and extraordinary one.

So she was not surprised that Jia Baoyu couldn't wait to post it up when he saw her today. It's hard not to like a girl like Xiang Daiyu.

Jia Min didn't know anything about Daiyu's thoughts, but one thing was certain, that is, both mother and daughter didn't like Jia Baoyu's behavior, words and deeds.

When Jia Min returned home, she blamed Lin Ruhai for this matter, and she was also very emotional about this kind of matter: "I knew that my mother was partial to my second brother when my father was still there. I didn't expect that after so many years, she is still the same. Being close to the second elder brother in the same room, and even raising Baoyu by his side, without the restraint of his father, he loves Baoyu more than his second elder brother."

There is a saying in the folk: "The youngest son and the big grandson are the life and roots of the old lady", which is the case for Jia Mu.

Lin Ruhai had nothing to say about this, after all, this is a matter of the Jia family, "I heard that Daiyu was angered by Baoyu today? What's going on?"

From Lin Ruhai's point of view, his daughter is good in whatever she does, and she never loses her temper, not to mention she is still outside. If she gets angry, it must be the other party's fault.

"I was talking to my mother at the time, and I vaguely heard Baoyu ask Daiyu if she had any jade. Daiyu thought he was mocking our family for not having any jade, so she said back."

Jia Min also raised two children since she was a child, and she has seen how many other people raise their children. She can be said to have a better understanding of the Heart Sutra of Parenting.

Every child is different, and at the same time, there is no difference between the children. Jia Baoyu was born with jade, which is different for him, and it is even considered auspicious.

It is precisely because of this 'auspicious omen' that he has received many special treatment, which has created his current temperament.

If it weren't for her mother's protection and doting, and there wouldn't be so much special treatment, she would be studying literature like an ordinary rich man, thinking about it, she wouldn't just hang out with her sisters like she is now, and only think about reading and writing. Drill into the powder pile.

"It's getting late, ma'am, don't worry about it so much, the matter has already settled down, there is no chance to do it again." Lin Ruhai said lightly.

Of course Jia Min knew that there was no chance to do it again, so she could only think about it. If she was really asked to make any changes, she would shrink back, sighed leisurely, and stopped talking about this topic.

I silently remember that in the future I will choose that kind of precious jade to go to the school, and take Daiyu to Rongguo Mansion, or I won’t take my daughter, because those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. She has carefully raised her daughter for so many years, but thousands Don't be spoiled by Baoyu.

Lin Ruhai naturally agreed with this decision. After arriving in the capital, he realized that the situation was far more severe than what he knew in Gusu. If possible, he hoped that Jia Min would not have any contact with the Jia family.

But he can't do this. Jia Min and his mother have been separated for many years, and now they finally reunite, but he is trying to stop him, and he would not be willing to change his heart to heart.

At the end of August, in a clear autumn day, the reporter came to Lin's house. The list of the township examination was released, and Jiang Yan knew about Yuan.

Seeing that things were beyond everyone's expectations, even Lin Ruhai was stunned for a while before reacting after seeing the big wind and waves, and asked again, "Do you really understand Yuan?"

"It's the real master, the young master knows Yuan." The young man said with a smile: "The young master is behind, let the young one come first to announce the good news to the old master and his wife."

"Well, well, you are indeed a child of my Lin family."

Lin Ruhai was so good back then, and he won the Juren after the age of 20, and won the Tanhua examination in the spring of the next year. Although he was unable to participate in the imperial examination because he had to keep filial piety for his parents a few years ago, Lin Ruhai still thought that his son was better than him .

"My brother is really amazing, I must send a gift to congratulate my brother."

"Has Yu'er thought about what to give?" Seeing her daughter's happy appearance, Jia Min was even happier. Her son and daughter are all the best. This can be said to be the most proud thing in her life.

Daiyu thought about it carefully, but couldn't think of anything to give as a gift, as did her brothers, she could give her handmade embroidery, but she felt that it was too ordinary, "Mom, do you have any good suggestions? I really want to congratulate my brother."

"Yu'er can draw a picture of blessings for her brother, and there is still time."

Daiyu thinks that this is okay, and the time is too short for her to prepare a better gift, so she goes to the study and starts painting, good luck and fortune, which is also her wish to her brother.

Three years ago, Jiang Yan was selected as a scholar, and Jia Min announced the good news to Jia's mother in a letter. Jia's mother was naturally happy for her daughter, but in order to prevent Jia Zheng from comparing Jiang Yan with Baoyu, no one told him.

But now the Lin family has a 13-year-old Juren, who is still in high school, Xie Yuan. In addition, Lin Ruhai has just been promoted, so many people in Beijing know about the Lin family's affairs. It's hard for Jia Zheng not to know.

Jia Zheng was also depressed. He was also a scholar, and he knew that it was not easy to win the exam, not to mention that he was only 13 years old.

This made him unavoidably think of Lin Ruhai, his parents died, and he passed the Tanhua exam with his own ability, but he was still a child and had never taken the imperial examination. It was because his father went to beg an official to get his current status.

He can't compare to Lin Ruhai, and now his son can't compare to Lin Ruhai's son. Back then, the ancestors of the Jia family also fought with the royal family and had the title of marquis.

Now that the Jia family still has a title, Lin Ruhai is the only official in the court of the Lin family, why suddenly the Jia family is not as good as the Lin family?Looking around, it seems that there is still a long distance.

Jia Zheng didn't know at all that this change was not sudden, but a gradual change over the years. It's a pity that he is now a player in the game, so he can't see it so clearly. , with Zhu'er's intelligence, she definitely won't let the Lin family compare.

Just when I got home, I heard that Baoyu was fighting with others in the school, so people called Baoyu to the study and asked the reason with a cold face.

Baoyu was afraid of Jia Zheng at first, not to mention that he still has a gloomy face, hesitating and talking is even more inconvenient. Jia Zheng took this as Baoyu's guilty conscience and dared not tell him the truth, so he wanted to beat him without saying a word.

At the other end, Jia's mother called Baoyu after hearing that the second master had returned to the mansion. She naturally knew that Baoyu had fought with someone in the school today, and she knew something was wrong, so she hurriedly sent someone to find Jia Zheng.

But Jia Zheng wanted to discipline his son, so he closed the courtyard door long ago, and Mother Jia's people couldn't get in. Hearing Baoyu's cries from inside, he turned and ran back to report to Mother Jia.

Jia's mother liked Baoyu the most, and her eyeballs hurt from a young age. Over the years, whenever Jia Zheng made a move on Baoyu, Jia's mother would desperately stop her, crying and clamoring to go back to her hometown in Jinling.

And how could Jia Zheng let Jia's mother leave the capital? At that time, all the faults will fall on him, and he still has to care about what others think of him.

Naturally, this time was no exception. As soon as Jia Mu came over, he immediately stopped crying and drumming. Baoyu was taken back by Jia Mu just after being beaten twice.

Jia Min didn't know about these things before, but this time her return to Beijing has opened her eyes. She knew Jia's mother doted on Baoyu when she first came here, but she didn't expect it to be so doting.

It is perfectly normal for this father to educate his son, and now it seems that Baoyu is like this, and it is not surprising.

After returning from Jia's house, Jia Min had many thoughts. Since ancient times, she has always been a loving mother, especially her loving grandmother. After all, with her grandmother around, it is difficult for parents to discipline her.

"Madam is so worried, is she trying to remind mother-in-law?" Lin Ruhai asked with deep eyes.

"How can I persuade? I don't care about the Jia family's affairs when the married daughter spills water, and my mother is at that age, so I don't dare to provoke her." Jia Min sighed, "I just sigh, how can the Rongguo Mansion There is no one in the younger generation who can do anything."

Lin Ruhai lowered his eyes. It was only a matter of time before the Jia family's downfall could be as short as three to five years, or as long as more than ten years. Fortunately, Jia Min didn't understand the truth and didn't blindly think that the Jia family was good. He is much easier to handle.

"Look at the time, Jue'er should be able to enter Beijing tomorrow, have you got all his things ready?"

"Don't worry, my lord.
