[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family

Even if the eyeballs are bloodshot today, the bags under the eyes are as big as buckets, and the dark circles under the eyes look like someone punched you...

When Lin Ruhai walked into the Hanlin Academy, his whole body seemed to be shining, and he immediately attracted the attention of others.

No matter how good-looking Lin Ruhai is, standing with his classmates and friends in the past was also the focus of the crowd.But for the colleagues in the Imperial Academy who were with him every day, they had long been used to his appearance and learned to ignore it.

But today, whether it is Lin Ruhai's brisk steps that almost make people think that he is about to jump up in the next moment, or the excitement and joy on his face that is trying to keep calm, but still allows people to spy, people can't help but look at him. on him.

It's just that the relationship between other people and Lin Ruhai was awkward, and they were afraid in their hearts, so no one came forward to ask for a long time.

On the other hand, Ji Shuchang and Ji Ru had no shame in his heart, so he walked up to his place and asked him, "What happy event happened to Lin Shidu today?"

Lin Ruhai seemed to have been waiting for someone to ask, his eyes lit up with a twitch.

Ji Shuchang: "..." Suddenly want to turn around and leave!

Lin Ruhai tried her best to keep her face expressionless, and replied reservedly: "My lady found out yesterday that you are happy."

The corner of his mouth twitched, but he couldn't hold it back in the end, and turned up in front of Ji Shuchang.

Ji Shuchang could fully feel Lin Ruhai's excitement.

It's just that he is young and has many children in his family. He has never had any worries about children. In Kuang's family, he has a wife and a concubine. Within a year of marriage, he had two children. Now he has five sons and three daughters. .

He couldn't empathize with Lin Ruhai's joy at all.

However, he seemed to understand why Lin Ruhai lost his composure when he was excited when he was a Jinshi, so he smiled and cupped his hands: "Congratulations, Shidu Lin has a happy birthday."

Lin Ruhai pursed her lips and nodded: "When my son washes for three hours, I will definitely send you an invitation."

Ji Shuchang's eyes lit up: "I will definitely be there!"

That was the three feasts in the Earl's Mansion, and there must be a gathering of dignitaries at that time. Even if he only met one noble person in the past, it would make his official career much smoother.

Only then did the rest of the Hanlin Academy come to their senses, one by one ready to move.

It's just that Lin Ruhai has already received the blessing he wanted, and he has calmed down and started to sort out his work for today, without giving any spare time to others at all.

Seeing this, the rest had no choice but to give up.

-

Jia Shu only found out that she was two months pregnant. How could the child be born so soon?

Although he knew that he was in good health, after all, pregnancy was something that should be treated with caution. Jia Shu didn't want to cause harm to the child because of his negligence, so when Lin Ruhai left, he immediately handed in the housekeeper key.

Lin Musong has been around for a few months, and she doesn't want to be a housekeeper anymore.

But the daughter-in-law is pregnant, and the child in her belly is likely to be the only child of this generation of the Lin family. She also knows that she can't be tired, so she has to take it.

But in order to reassure Jia Shu, she also promised: "When the child is born, the housekeeper of the Lin family will still have to be handed over to you. The mother is already old, and it's time to take care of her."

Jia Shu naturally could only nod.

Lin's mother was very careful about the child in Jia Shu's belly. Seeing that she had nothing else to do, she immediately called Xuefushuangling and several maidservants: "The young mistress is double now, so you can't be tired. Hurry up and send her away." Go back to the yard and rest."

Originally, Jia Shu wanted to talk to Lin's mother. She was a family friend. After all, she was a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so it's not good to be unfamiliar with her all the time.

But Mother Lin's expression was serious, and she could only leave obediently.

As soon as she left, Mu Ling beside Mother Lin couldn't help but said: "Madam, the young mistress is pregnant, do you want to arrange two servant girls for the young master?"

Mu Ling spoke carefully, but no matter Lin Mu or Shuli, they could see the eagerness in her eyes at a glance.

Shuli frowned, and was about to speak, when Mother Lin smiled: "Mu Ling, how long have you been by my side?"

Mu Ling didn't understand what it meant, and replied: "Go back to Ma'am, it's been four years."

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Lin's mother's eyes, and she asked again: "Did your parents marry you?"

Mu Ling thought that Mother Lin was investigating her, and if she didn't have a marriage partner, he would arrange her to be Lin Ruhai's concubine, and his heart burst into ecstasy.

Mu Ling is one year older than Chixia, how could her family not arrange a marriage for her?The candidate for the marriage is his uncle's cousin.

But Mu Ling has a high spirit, and has always looked down on his uncle's cousin, so he never thought of marrying him.Her mother used filial piety to force her, and she used her identity as Lin's mother to force her parents' thoughts back.

After so long, her cousin couldn't afford to wait and married someone else long ago.

So Mu Ling replied without guilt at all: "Go back to your wife, never. Please arrange it with your wife."

Just when she thought Mother Lin was going to speak to give her to the young master, she heard Mother Lin's tone cold: "Since that's the case, Hu Liu from the stable in the backyard is also unmarried, so I will make the decision to marry you to him."

Mu Ling was stunned: "Ma'am!"

That Hu Liu worked with animals in the stables, and his whole body smelled of horse manure. There was no maid in the mansion who looked up to him. After all these years, he was getting older, and no one would be willing to marry him. he.

Even because she has served his wife for four years, his wife can't marry her to someone like Hu Liu!

But Mother Lin didn't want to look at the wood spirit anymore, so she got up and went into the bedroom.Before leaving, he gave Shuli an order: "The dowries I prepared for you maidservants are all placed in one place, and you can get them to Shuli."

Mu Ling looked at Mother Lin's leaving back in disbelief, and wanted to catch up, but was forced by Mother Lin's majesty in the past, and dared not move at all.

When the person entered the bedroom and was blocked by the screen and could not see the figure at all, Shu Li sighed.

She looked at Mu Ling, who had worked with her for four years, and felt incomprehensible: "Didn't I give you a break?"

The young master is such a magnificent figure, not to mention the wood spirit, even she who understands Lin Mu's thoughts deeply, can't help but be moved.But she knew that it was absolutely impossible for Mother Lin to give the young master the maids around her.

So from the moment she was assigned to serve by his wife's side, she rested her extra thoughts.

Even if Mu Ling didn't know Lin's mother's thoughts, but the ending of so many maids who wanted to climb the bed didn't dissuade her?

All the other maids in the mansion lost their minds about the young master because of this, so how could the wood spirit be so stupid instead?She also reminded the wood spirit.

Mu Ling was a little stunned, she opened her mouth: "...If the wife asks, how can the young master not accept it?" Even the young mistress didn't dare to do anything more to her.

"The young mistress is pregnant, don't you need to arrange someone to serve the young master?"

Mu Ling's eyes were red, "I didn't do anything wrong!"

Shuli glanced at her, shook his head, turned around and went into Mother Lin's private treasury, and after a while, he took out a package: "Here is the dowry your wife gave you, take it well."

After thinking about it, she pointed out another way because of her past relationship, "If you get married within a month, my wife will definitely not pursue it."

After all, Mu Ling has been serving Mother Lin for four years, and she is not so cruel that she will not give her a way out.

But Mu Ling was still unwilling, she squinted and roared: "Why?"

Shuli looked back at the inner room, then pulled the wood spirit and walked out.

When she arrived at a corner where there was no one, she looked at Mu Ling, her tone became calm: "Among the concubines that the master once loved, the most arrogant one is the maid given by the old lady."

Because it was bestowed by the elders, the wife had to save some face for that concubine, so she suffered a lot at the hands of that concubine.

"My wife will never let my young mistress suffer through the hardships she has experienced."

"Even if the wife wants to arrange a room for the young master, it is impossible to give the maid by her side."

From the very beginning, Mu Ling never gave the young master a chance to be a concubine.

What's more, my wife once said that unless the young mistress has never been pregnant, she never thought of arranging a concubine room for the young master.

When he said this, the wood spirit was waiting beside him.

"I warned you!" Shuli glanced at her, turned and left.

After Mu Ling heard this, his eyes were desperate, and he sat on the ground slumped: "How could this be?"

-

When Jia Shu returned to the courtyard, Chixia was already waiting inside.

"Chixia, why are you here?" Jia Shu looked at Chixia in surprise, "Yesterday was a special occasion, and now I have Xuefu and the others by my side, why don't you get along with Pengshu for a while?"

Although both Pengshu and Chixia have a good impression of each other, but after all, they have never been together before, how can they have much affection?Therefore, Jia Shu gave the young couple a one-month "honeymoon" leave so that they could get along well.

It's only been a few days since they got married, why Chixia came here again.

Chixia smiled and said: "Young mistress is also a twin now, how can the servant feel at ease? What's more, you have to serve the young master while holding the book, it's no fun for the servant to be alone at home."

After thinking about it for a while, Jia Shu knew that she was worried about herself, so she couldn't help but said, "You have been serving me for so long, don't you know my physical condition?"

There are dozens of people in the entire Lin family, and few of them are in better health than her.As long as it's not wrestling or being drugged, there's no way anything goes wrong with her kids.

But Chixia was worried about these situations: "Young mistress, you are pregnant now, and your wife should arrange a servant girl for the young master. If someone has bad intentions, what will you do?"

Jia Shu's eyes were indifferent: "This child is the future hope of the Lin family. Even if someone who is not good-looking wants to deal with him, mother will not allow it."

Even if Chixia came to her and stared at her diet all day long, taking precautions everywhere, it would not be as good as an order from Mother Lin who controls the entire Lin family.

After all, there are only a few masters of the Lin family, and there are no other voices. Who would dare to disobey Mother Lin's order?

Chixia was still a little worried.

Jia Shu was speechless: "I'm really fine, you'd better go home and cultivate your relationship with books, and come back in a month!"

When it came to holding books, Chixia's face turned red immediately, and she couldn't say any more.

-

Jia Shu's attitude became tough, but Chi Xia couldn't resist her, so she could only leave her room without turning her head.

But after the people left, Jia Shu suddenly found that the room was eerily quiet.

Xuefu and the others came to her side, they didn't dare to take a wrong step, everyone was extremely quiet, even if they walked, they would try their best to lighten their steps, if they didn't listen carefully, they wouldn't hear the sound of footsteps at all.

Jia Shu didn't know them well, so naturally he had nothing to talk to.

If in the past, she was busy with the makeup shop opening a branch in Jiangnan, busy with the big and small matters of the Lin family, and when she had free time, she could go and investigate who was stalking her behind her back, not to mention being busy all day, it would not be boring when.

But now, Jia Shu has almost handed over all the matters in her hands, and only then did she realize that she has nothing to entertain herself.

Flower viewing?Not that leisurely!

play chess?Know about backgammon?Even if she wanted to play backgammon, no one would dare to play with her!

painting and calligraphy?Jia Shu couldn't bear to look straight at his calligraphy like a dog crawling!

If it wasn't for Cuiyan trying to make a quill pen when she was in Rongguo Mansion before, she might not dare to write in front of people!

Jia Shu thought out all the pastimes of the ancients and modern people one by one, but found that either he didn’t know how to do it, or no one would play with him——

Xuefu and other maidservants are timid and dare not sit at the same table with her.

In the end, she could only sigh secretly: "Sure enough, I was born to work hard!"

Then he went directly to Lin Ruhai's study room, picked up a quill pen, and began to memorize some types and routines he had seen in his previous life on the rice paper.

She had the idea of ​​soliciting essays when she saw the huge number of bookstores in the Lin family.

Nowadays, most of the story books on the market are the clichéd love between a poor scholar and a rich lady who "breaks the mundane" written by a poor scholar, or the romantic love between a romantic scholar and all kinds of ghosts. The stories are old-fashioned and have no new ideas at all.

And readers who can buy story books don't read all the stories, but more on the author's writing——

The story is all a routine, so naturally it can only be won by writing.Whoever writes better will sell better if the writing is more immersive.

But the Lin family's bookstores spread almost all over Daxia, but they haven't even published a good-selling novel.

Because the Lin family's book shop basically sells the Four Books and Five Classics and other famous classics related to scientific research...

Jia Shu thought for a while, and put aside the work in hand: "Xuefu, go and call Dianmo in, and just say I have something to ask him."

The books sold by the Lin family were too serious before, and if there were too many changes, it would probably have a certain impact on the fixed audience of the book shop.

Thinking of publishing the books and notes used in Lin Ruhai's imperial examinations, she didn't hesitate too much. She decided to organize and print the book first during her pregnancy, and then come to solicit essays after she gave birth.

"Yes!" Xuefu replied, turned around and went to find some ink.

Not long after, some ink came.

Jia Shu's eyes fell on him: "Do you know what books the young master read before he was admitted to Tanhua? Where are the articles he wrote?"

Dianmo hesitated for a moment: "Miss, these things, you should wait for the young master to come back and ask the young master, the servant dare not tell you!"

With the young master's love and value for books, if he finds out the book, but is damaged and dirty by the young mistress, the young master and the young mistress have a good relationship, so naturally he won't do anything to her, but he will definitely blame himself.

Jia Shu was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "I made things difficult for you."

Lin Ruhai's books and articles are really not good for people to touch casually.

She waved her hand and let some ink go down.Turning to look at Shuangling again: "I have two boxes of books in my private library, bring some people to carry them for me."

It was given to Jia Zheng by Lin Ruhai before, but she had someone make an extra copy just for today.

There are books and notes in it, the only thing missing is Lin Ruhai's previous articles.

"Do you know how to read?" Jia Shu looked at Xuefu and the others.

Xuefu and Shuangling looked at each other, Xuefu stood up first: "Your servant can read a few words."

Shuang Ling also followed suit: "The servant can also recognize a few words."

Jia Shu raised his eyebrows: "Then you all come here and organize and record the books inside on a piece of paper. I will be useful."

Then she picked out Lin Ruhai's reading notes from the inside, and began to sort and mark them one by one.

When Lin Ruhai came back, he saw Jia Shu and a few maids arranging something in his study.He walked over and found that they were the books and notes he had copied and given to Jia Zheng: "Ruosang, what are you doing with these books?"

Jia Shu looked up and found that it was Lin Ruhai, and immediately smiled: "Of course it will be published in a book and sold at home."

She said it lightly, but Lin Ruhai was stunned.

He stopped when he wanted to go forward: "These are just notes made while studying for my husband, how can I publish a book?"

Publishing a book is very sacred to a literati like Lin Ruhai who reads sage books, and it also has a great attraction.But except for the books for people's entertainment, everyone defaults to not being a person with great wisdom and not publishing books.

No one has ever thought that they can also use the notes they made while reading to publish a book!

It's unbelievable.

Jia Shu smiled: "My husband is a young talent in the current science. I don't know how many people want to know what books you have read to be admitted to Tanhua at a young age. Only those books you have read can make those scholars who want to take the imperial examination I love it, let alone your notes and the articles you have written."

Seeing that Lin Ruhai was still a little absent-minded, she said again, "Even if you never published a book, are there many people collecting the poems and articles you wrote?"

Lin Ruhai nodded: "But those are all my husband's classmates, friends and teachers..."

"That's it. If someone collects it, it means that your writing is good." Jia Shu shrugged, "Why can't you publish a book if you write well?"

Don't you see, how many essays written by elementary school students in modern times have been collected and published in books. It is impossible for Lin Ruhai's level to be inferior to modern elementary school students?

"It is difficult for other people to publish books, because publishing a book requires a red ticket from the yamen, and the red ticket is rationed every month."

She looked at Lin Ruhai: "But there are so many bookstores in the Marquis of Wen'an's estate, and there are so many red labels, what's wrong with publishing a few books for your boss?"

Lin Ruhai stared: "How many books?"

Jia Shu nodded: "Yes, after sorting out your reading notes, a book will be published. If you select the excellent poems you have written in the past, you can also produce a book. There are also policy articles written by your husband, and you can make a separate book. If there are too many volumes, they can be divided into three volumes, upper, middle, and lower."

Lin Ruhai: "..." It feels so unreal!

Jia Shu stepped forward and stood in front of him, looking straight at him.

Lin Ruhai was startled: "Ruosang, what's wrong?"

"Where are the articles you wrote before? Won't you throw them away?"

"No, I have kept it well for my husband!"

"Go and take it out, and I'll see if it works."

Lin Ruhai blinked: "Ruosang, what can be used and what can't be used?"

Jia Shuli looked at him confidently: "I don't know, you don't know?"

She can't read policy articles, how can she tell the good from the bad?But she knows how to choose, so she just needs to state her own standards and ask Lin Ruhai to help her choose.

Lin Ruhai blinked: "My husband doesn't know..."

Jia Shu laughed angrily: "Take it out first!"

Lin Ruhai didn't dare to delay, and hurried to the compartment at the back of the study, and soon took out a wooden box the size of one person's arms: "The articles that my husband has written since he entered school are all in it."

enter school?

"Is it after passing the examination as a scholar?"

Lin Ruhai nodded: "In order not to let people talk about it, my husband was admitted step by step from Tongsheng, and I didn't use my ancestor's quota of Yinsheng."

After speaking, he looked at Jia Shu's stomach, "If our child can't study well in the future, we can send him to the Imperial College."

Jia Shu: "..."

"Husband, you think your son can't study well before the child is born?" Jia Shu stretched out his hand and twisted his waist directly, "And how do you know that the one in my stomach must be the son?"

Seeing that a family war was about to break out, the other people in the study held their breaths and concentrated, not daring to make a sound.

result……

Lin Ruhai said seriously: "Sooner or later, I will have a son!"

Jia Shu: "...you really have confidence!"

It is obvious that one day cannot sort out all the things, not to mention that Jia Shu, as a pregnant woman, should not be too tired, and he needs to rest after sorting out for a while.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Jia Shu was worried about hurting his eyes, so he took Lin Ruhai's hand and left the study.

The others packed up their things and followed them out.

When eating dinner, Jia Shu looked at a large table of dishes and suddenly didn't know where to place his chopsticks.

"Why are there so many dishes today?"

I didn't feel much when I ate at Mother Lin's in the morning. There was a big table for lunch, and another big table for dinner.

"My wife said, let the young mistress take care of her body." Xuefu replied with her head down.

Jia Shu was speechless, is this too much?

Lin Ruhai also felt that it was a little too much, but considering that the lady is now twins, she felt that it should be taken for granted.

Seeing that Jia Shu didn't eat, he thought she had a bad appetite, so he kept bringing food to her.

When Jia Shu realized it, the vegetables in her bowl were piled up into a hill.But Lin Ruhai might have a too small bowl, so he put the spare bowl in front of her and picked up another sharp bowl of vegetables.

The key is full of meat!

Jia Shu: "...Are you feeding pigs, or are you trying to feed me into a pig?"

She has a big appetite, but it is also a combination of meat and vegetables!There are two full bowls of meat dishes, most of which are fat meat, how do you let her eat it!

She took a deep breath, and directly brought the two bowls of food in front of Lin Ruhai: "Eat them clean!"

If you want to feed her into a pig, she will feed you into a pig first!

Lin Ruhai: "...Miss, I can't eat it for my husband!"

Ah!As if she could eat it all!

"You eat a lot!"

Jia Shu: "..." Where is my knife!
