Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

Although there were some small disturbances, the ancestor worship ceremony ended smoothly.After the members of the Lin family said goodbye to each other, they left the ancestral hall one after another and returned home.There are not many people who come from afar, and if there are ancestral houses in the clan, they can settle down.After waiting overnight, I set off again the next day on my way.

The patriarch looked a little sad in front of him, stared at Lin Hai outside the house, and sighed secretly.Lin Hai, whose name is Ruhai, is a descendant of the Lin family's direct descendant. He obtained a high degree of fame in his twenties, was a high school student, and had to marry the beloved prostitute daughter to the powerful Duke Rong at the time.Since then, his official career has been smooth, and now he is less than [-] years old. He is a general judge in Yingtian Mansion.The official position doesn't sound too high at first glance, but Yingtian Mansion is the most prosperous and prosperous place in the world, even the capital city is incomparable, Lin Ruhai can be said to be in control of the real power.It's a pity that his heir's birth is not going well.Having been childless for many years, she finally gave birth to a concubine son, and a year later she had a concubine son.Who knows, the patriarch who knows the inside story knows that he must be feeling bad at this time, so he can only comfort him with words carefully.

"Patriarch, I didn't expect to see Yu'er again today, but things are different!" Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly.

"Ruhai, his name is Ming An now." The patriarch paused: "Don't worry, Lin Qing and his wife have taught him very well and are very close to him. Three years ago, Brother An suffered a serious illness. Lin Qing and his wife did not hesitate to sell [-] acres of land in order to treat him. Today, Lin Zeyu attacked Mrs. Chen because he wanted to buy Lin Qing's land back then, but the price was not agreed upon."

"Three years ago?" Lin Ruhai suddenly remembered the old things, guessed that the patriarch probably knew something, felt a pang of guilt, and sighed guiltyly: "Back then, when Qingxi came to ask for help, I was not at home, and my wife was already filial because of that human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum. Father-in-law, one was used to mix medicine for the youngest son, but he was unable to help. Will Qingxi feel resentful because of this?"

"No, no." The patriarch said, intentionally adding another sentence: "After all, father and son are more important, do you want to ignore close relatives for a nephew? Qingxi understands this truth, and it's the same for him. Besides, An Ge'er has auspicious signs, and he has recovered."

"Clan nephew?" Lin Ruhai's heart was pricked by a needle, she was speechless and her face was ugly.

"Ruhai, is your family okay?" Seeing this, the patriarch changed the topic.

"Not too good!" Lin Ruhai frowned and sighed: "My wife is fine. My son has always been weak. He has been taking medicine since he was a child, and he eats very little. Before I came, he caught a cold again. My wife is taking care of him at home. "

The patriarch comforted him and said: "The children of rich and noble families are not like those of ordinary people. They are pampered. It is not worth anything. It is normal for children to get sick more often when they are young, and they will gradually get better when they grow up."

Lin Ruhai smiled wryly and said: "He is only a little more than one year younger than An Geer, but it seems that he is a lot shorter in stature, not to mention that his spirit is far worse! Because he is weak, he dare not give it to him now. He's enlightened, I'm afraid An Ge'er has already started reading the Four Books! When he grows up, how can he enter the imperial examinations with such a body? Sigh!"

He was worried about the future of the Lin family, and became more and more uneasy. Suddenly, a thought emerged from his mind, tempting him.With a bit of shame, he said to the patriarch: "Patriarch, I am really worried about the child's three disasters and five disasters. If, if my Lin family has no successor, then, then, brother An"

He really felt a little ashamed, blushing and stopped talking.

When the patriarch saw his appearance, he understood a little bit in his heart, snorted secretly, and said calmly: "Ruhai, I understand what you mean." He asked directly: "Are you planning to recognize me?" Go back to Brother Ang, right?"

"I just came up with this idea for the time being, and I haven't discussed it with Qingxi yet." Lin Ruhai hesitated, "I know it's inappropriate, but I'm worried that the youngest son's health is really bad. Patriarch, tell me, can Qingxi agree?"

Then he hurriedly said: "I know this is unfair to Qingxi, so I will naturally try my best to make up for him! He is younger than me and in good health, I am afraid that his sister-in-law will not be able to bear children. If he takes a few good concubines, he will definitely be able to give birth Wouldn't it be good for one's own heir to come!"

"Why do you need to raise other people's mothflies!" He swallowed this sentence, but did not say it, and looked at the patriarch earnestly, hoping to get his support.

"Ruhai!" The patriarch replied calmly: "I'll just say it straight, I'm afraid your idea won't work!"

"As you saw today, An Ge'er and Qingxi are very close to each other. He stood up to protect his mother and was very responsible! He was so handsome and intelligent. Who would be willing to let go of such a child? It is well known that Qingxi and his wife love Ang Geer like a treasure. They will never be greedy for your compensation! First, although they are not rich and powerful, they can live well; second, if they have children It's all gone, and the family business has no one to inherit it, so what's the use of sending a mountain of gold? If you talk about taking concubines and giving birth to children, those who give birth are also bastards, how can you compare to Brother An?"

"So, the Qingxi couple can't agree. At the beginning, the adoption was officially done and entered the family tree. If they backtracked, they would not want to, and there would be troubles, which would be embarrassing for the family, and it would also be bad for your reputation!"

"Besides, Ruhai, you are worried about the health of your son-in-law, and you want to find Brother An to go back, because you are afraid that you will lose both ends. Not to mention, if the son-in-law is really bad, will your family hold grudges and think it is Brother An? Damn, what will An Geer do with himself? If the legitimate son's health improves, and there is an outstanding eldest son like An Geer, how will the house be peaceful? You can see it with your own eyes today, is An Geer an ordinary child?"

The patriarch hesitated for a moment: "Brother An is scheming, has means, and has a strong heart. He has long remembered that he only regards Qingxi and his wife as his parents. He cares about how others treat him. If he goes back and is wronged, then "

He didn't say the following words anymore, and it was hard to say.He did not agree with Lin Ruhai's proposal.For Lin Qing's sake, and for Lin Ruhai's consideration, Brother An should not be recognized!

Lin Ruhai's face was pale, and he was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Patriarch, let me think about it again!"

While Lin Ruhai was discussing with the patriarch, Lin Qing and his wife were also worried.Chen Shi had never met Lin Ruhai before, but when he heard Lin Ruhai's name, he was stunned.Lin Qing was even more sensitive to notice that Lin Ruhai's complexion was serious, and he couldn't stop glancing at An Ge'er, which made him tremble in his heart.He knew that Lin Ruhai's son-in-law had been in poor health, and he was afraid, afraid that Lin Ruhai would regret it and want to go back to Brother An!

That night, after Ange was arranged to rest, the couple sat opposite each other under the lamp and discussed the matter.
