[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family

Even though he was furious, Jia Shu still asked Lin Ruhai in a temper: "Why did you put so much fat on me?"

Obviously the dishes are different, but Lin Ruhai just put fatty meat in her bowl to make her unable to figure it out.

Lin Ruhai blinked, carefully pushed the two bowls in front of Jia Shu, and then tentatively said, "Because my mother said, you are too thin, you need to make up, otherwise it will be bad for you and the child if your body can't keep up."

Jia Shu stared: "...Don't you know if I'm thin or not?" I don't know who kept saying she was heavy before!

Lin Ruhai paused for a moment, and defended in a low voice: "My husband didn't keep talking."

"..." Jia Shu smiled, "Huh? What did you say?"

Lin Ruhai shivered, and quickly changed the subject: "My husband told my mother that a woman is not as delicate as she looks, and may be more important than my husband..."

Jia Shu stared, as if ten thousand alpacas were galloping past in his heart.

Lin Ruhai flinched when she saw her, and couldn't help but move a few times to the side, as if he wanted to move as far as the ends of the earth on the limited stool.

Jia Shu: "..." His hands were itchy.

Lin Ruhai tried to stay calm: "But my husband was scolded by my mother right after that. My mother told me not to say that my wife is very important in the future, otherwise it will make you angry."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to want to prove that he really listened to Mother Lin, and he emphasized, "Ruosang, you are actually really thin!"

Ha ha!

Jia Shu rolled his eyes in his heart, thousands of words slipped to his lips, but he could only hold back.

No, I'm the mistress of the Lin family, so I can't swear or scold my husband!

Ahhhh, so angry!

Lin Ruhai was still talking unconsciously: "My husband thinks what my mother said is right, so..."

"Ok?"

"That's why my husband decided to make up for Ruo Sang!" Lin Ruhai puffed up her chest, as if she had done something worthy of pride.

"..."

Jia Shu: "You said you should give me a good supplement, but you want me to eat fat?"

Should she thank Lin's mother for helping to train her son, or should she blame her for leading her son into a ditch?

Lin Ruhai nodded solemnly: "Eating fat will make you fat!"

Jia Shu: "..."

"I think you're pretty skinny too. You're the one who should gain weight the most. You've eaten all the meat. Let me see how much fat you can gain." Put the two bowls in front of Lin Ruhai again.

Seeing that Lin Ruhai wanted to push her again, she smiled at him, "Husband, this is all my heart for you, are you sure you really want to let it down?"

Lin Ruhai stopped, his face flushed.

But looking at the two bowls of meat in front of him, his eyes became tangled.

He doesn't like to eat fatty meat either.

Seeing his tangled look, Jia Shu secretly smiled inwardly, and immediately stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a chopstick of fatty meat, and brought it directly to Lin Ruhai's mouth: "Husband, this is your love for me~"

Lin Ruhai: "..." His face flushed red.

Really, shameless!

However, thinking this way in his heart, he opened his mouth very honestly and bit the piece of meat.

After dinner, the two sat and chatted for a while about publishing the book. After Lin Ruhai had completely digested the food in his stomach, they began to wash up and prepare to go to bed.

Jia Shu is only two months pregnant, which is the time when no accidents can happen, so the two of them lay on the bed and did nothing.

Jia Shu wanted to tease Lin Ruhai at first, but he just gave up when he met his pitiful eyes.

"Husband, it will take at least seven months for this child to be born. After such a long time, you..." Leaning on the head of the bed, Jia Shu's eyes kept aiming three inches below Lin Ruhai's navel, "Your physical problem How to solve it?"

This body without meat must be different from a body with meat. Although Jia Shu felt that he would not tease Lin Ruhai, he would definitely be able to hold it back, but couldn't bear the fact that other people wanted to tease him?

And after a long time, Lin's mother saw that Lin Ruhai was uncomfortable, so maybe she would let her make fun of the maids around her.

Although Jia Shu felt that no matter what Lin Ruhai chose, she could make herself live well.But when the relationship between the two was good, she didn't make any effort, just watched Lin Ruhai go to sleep with the maid, she always felt sorry for Lin Ruhai.

Therefore, it is better to get a vaccination first, so that if Lin Ruhai does something wrong, no matter what she does, she will feel at ease.

Sensing Jia Shu's gaze, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but move his legs to the side, and said in a rather awkward tone, "Ruosang just don't, don't say anything that makes people misunderstood, and don't move too enthusiastically. There is nothing wrong with husband.”

Jia Shu: "..." She said it like a pervert.

She turned her head to look at Lin Ruhai, just in time to meet his red ear tips, and couldn't help laughing, "Have you never had wet dreams before?"

Lin Ruhai: "..."

This topic is too embarrassing!

He carefully pushed Jia Shu away, and slowly rubbed himself in. After a while, his back was pressed against the wall, and he was relieved.

Obviously, from face to neck, his whole body was as red as a crayfish, but he still insisted on accusing Jia Shu with a serious expression: "This, this and other inappropriate words, Ruo Sang should not mention it in the future."

Jia Shu held back his laughter and couldn't help it, and asked him, "But this is a very normal thing, why should my husband avoid it?"

Lin Ruhai opened his mouth, but he didn't know what words to refute, so he could only shrink back.

Of course he knows that nocturnal emission is a normal phenomenon that men have when they are old, but, as a woman, she is not ashamed to say it out, and asks him if he has had it before, how can he answer it calmly?

Lin Ruhai was almost desperate, obviously Ruo Sang, who is a woman, should be even more embarrassed about this kind of thing!

Jia Shu leaned over and hugged him: "Husband?"

Lin Ruhai wanted to cry. He wanted to push Jia Shu away, but he was worried about hurting the child in her stomach, so he could only let her hold her.

The most desperate thing is that even if he doesn't care about his children, he subconsciously knows that he can't push his wife away...

Lin Ruhai's hands trembled, and he wanted to cry but hugged Jia Shu back: "Madam, can you change the question?"

Jia Shu thought about it, and still felt that Lin Ruhai was not to be embarrassed.

After all, she could see that Lin Ruhai really didn't want to talk about this topic with herself.

"Ruhai," Jia Shu said earnestly, "Since you don't want to say it, I won't force you either. But there is one thing I must tell you, if you can't hold back during my pregnancy and really get out with other people It's..."

She met Lin Ruhai with her eyes, and spoke in such a serious tone for the first time, "I won't do anything to you, but you don't have to come to my yard from now on."

Lin Ruhai's expression was shocked. Although he still couldn't fully understand the meaning of Jia Shu's words, he still assured him: "Ruosang, don't worry, since you already have a child, your husband will never take a concubine or a maidservant to make you sad."

He will never let his wife go through what his mother suffered from his father back then.

Jia Shu smiled, retreated to his seat, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

Lin Ruhai pursed her lips, not knowing what she was thinking in her heart.

But after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, and his eyes lit up.He slowly moved to Jia Shu's side, reached out and grabbed her hand, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep contentedly.

A night without dreams.

Early the next morning, after Jia Shu took Lin Ruhai to exercise in the yard, he washed up and went to Mother Lin's yard together.

Because of the child in Jia Shu's womb, Lin's mother's affection for her was rising steadily at this time. Before, she thought that she was especially suitable for Ruhai and the Lin family, so her attitude was very considerate.Today's attitude is even more enthusiastic, almost directly arching Jia Shu into the altar to offer up.

During just one breakfast, Lin's mother's small eyes, which she thought to be hidden, fell on Jia Shu and Jia Shu's stomach more than twenty times.

Every time Jia Shu caught her gaze, he felt quite dumbfounded.

Fortunately, it wasn't too late for the three of them to eat, and someone came up to clean up soon.

Lin Ruhai went straight to work, but Jia Shu was left behind by Lin's mother: "Shu'er, do you feel sick to your stomach recently?"

Jia Shu quickly shook his head: "If the two doctors hadn't checked the pulse and found out that she was pregnant, my daughter-in-law would not have felt it at all."

Even now that she knew she was pregnant, she still didn't feel any difference in her body from before. If she didn't know that the two doctors would not deceive people with such a thing, Jia Shu would feel that she had made a mistake.

Lin's mother frowned, but thinking of He Yuanzheng's words, she decided to appease Jia Shu: "Shu'er, don't worry, Dr. Li and He Yuanzheng have said that everyone's constitution is different, so the reaction during pregnancy is also very different. different."

I don't know what she thought of, the corners of Mother Lin's mouth turned up, "It's like when I was pregnant with Ruhai, because he was too noisy, but after half a month of pregnancy, I knew I was pregnant."

Jia Shu didn't feel it at all, and just said: "This child has been pregnant for two months and hasn't shown any signs, so it's obviously quiet."

Lin's mother laughed loudly: "I love my mother."

Mother Lin gave instructions for a while before letting Jia Shu go.

But before leaving, she also said, "After all, you are different from before, and you need to be careful everywhere. In the future, you don't have to go to my yard for breakfast. If Hai returns today, I will tell him. You guys Ah, just eat in your own yard."

Jia Shu originally wanted to decline, but was suppressed by Lin's mother on the grounds that "children are the most important".

Knowing the importance of the child to the Lin family, Jia Shu didn't dare to say anything, so he had to accept Lin's mother's kindness.

-

After half a month, the books that Lin Ruhai had read in the imperial examination, as well as the notes he wrote down were also sorted out.

Because there are a lot of poems and songs, and there are only so many places in a book, Jia Shu specially asked Lin Ruhai to pick out dozens of the best poems in each genre and bind them into volumes. Printed and sold.

But these are not the most important things.

The most amazing thing about Lin Ruhai's ability to win the Tanhua position at the age of 17 is his ability to write policy theory that has amazed many well-known scholars.

Jia Shu originally planned to select the best policy theory and publish a book, but after thinking about it later, he felt that it would be better to sort out Lin Ruhai's representative policy theory articles at each stage, and add his comments——

Lin Ruhai must be clear about where his own strategy is wrong.

Take out the policy theory I wrote as a model essay, and point out the problems and advantages in it. First, because there are examples, it will not make those scholars feel confused; second, it will avoid being targeted by others and affect his reputation. .

Lin Ruhai is a dignified explorer who uses his past articles as a model to teach those scholars to write strategies and theories. It is a concern for students all over the world, and has nothing to do with making money.

If it is done properly, it may be possible that this move can gain a wave of prestige for Lin Ruhai.

The key point is that this kind of reputation is only among scholars, because earning money will also weaken the perception of some pedantic scholars who regard business as a scourge, and the reputation will not be too high, which will not make Qishengdi care too much.

If it really succeeds, Qi Shengdi might not be able to promote Lin Ruhai to an official position.

Simply perfect!

Of course, because of this, Lin Ruhai's poems and strategies should not be priced too expensive after they are published.

However, although movable type printing already existed in this era, because most of the materials used were metal copper characters, if the quantity sold was small, the cost would not be reduced much.In order to pay back the book, the price of a book sold by the book store is still daunting for many poor students, so they can only choose to copy.

Jia Shu published books to make money, and as for letting other literati learn something, it was all by the way.

So she had to think carefully about how to reduce costs.

After listening to Jia Shu's request, Lin Ruhai read all the policy articles he had written before, and carefully found out the shortcomings and excellences of each article.

Now that I have read all the articles, Jia Shu has selected some [-] particularly representative policy theories.

The advantages and disadvantages of each article are obvious and will never be repeated.Of course, these articles are becoming more and more perfect, and people can see the progress at a glance.

Jia Shu thought about it, and finally found out the policy theory that Lin Ruhai got Tanhua.

"Put this article at the end, there is no need to write anything, let them admire my husband's literary talents!"

When Lin Ruhai came back, he just heard these words.

He was standing at the door, and he didn't know whether he should go in at this time.

Jia Shu's eyes were sharp, and he saw Lin Ruhai at the door at a glance, and went straight to meet him: "Why did you come back so early today?" She glanced at Lin Ruhai's red ears from the corner of her eye, and laughed, "Did you hear what I just said? Husband Are you happy that you have such a stalwart image in my heart?"

Lin Ruhai's face turned red all of a sudden: "...Happy."

He thought that in Ruo Sang's heart, he had no image for a long time.

Jia Shu turned her head and found that everyone else was concentrating on packing their things, so she hurriedly turned her head, leaned in front of Lin Ruhai, and kissed him.

Before he could react, Jia Shu turned around and walked into the study: "Husband, come in quickly, take a look at these theories I have picked out."

Lin Ruhai was still a little dizzy, and when he heard this, he walked in subconsciously.

He didn't wake up until his eyes fell on the theory.He carefully flipped through one by one, and then nodded with a smile: "Ruosang has a good eye, these theories are very representative, and should be of greatest help to other students. There is no problem."

Jia Shu felt relieved.

Just at this time, the study room was also tidied up and restored, so Jia Shu took Lin Ruhai back to the house.

While eating dinner, Lin Ruhai suddenly remembered something: "Now it's time for the provincial examination, and the second uncle seems to be going back to Jinling to catch the examination."

Jia Shu was stunned for a moment: "The township examination? Examination for Juren?"

Lin Ruhai nodded.

"But I remember, Jia and Zheng are not even scholars?"

"Mr. Rong Guo made outstanding contributions, so he got a quota for Yinsheng and gave it to my second uncle." Lin Ruhai explained, "Yinsheng doesn't need to take the prefectural, state, and county exams, but can directly take the provincial exams."

Jia Shu raised his eyebrows: "So the second brother Zheng is not even a scholar now, so he is going to take the Juren examination?"

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, "Ruosang, you treat second uncle..."

Thinking of what his mother had said to him before, he shut up again.

Jia Shu looked at him suspiciously, and Lin Ruhai shook his head: "It's nothing, I just thought of other things."

Jia Shu could roughly guess what Lin Ruhai wanted to ask, but it was nothing more than the contempt for Jia Zheng in her tone.But she really didn't like Jia Zheng, so she didn't explain.

Lin Ruhai asked again: "Do we need to see off my second uncle?"

Jia Shu quickly shook his head: "You have sent so many books, notes and other things before, you have done your best, and there is no need to meddle in his affairs."

Seeing that Lin Ruhai was puzzled, she quickly explained, "Although there have been rumors in the Rongguo Mansion that my second elder brother is good at reading, in my opinion, my second elder brother is really not suitable for studying. This is not the first time he has participated in the provincial examination. , I haven’t passed the exam before. If you pass at this time, he might think you’re showing off.”

Lin Ruhai's eyes widened: "For my husband, my second brother-in-law is a gentleman, not a narrow-minded person..."

Jia Shu didn't force him, but said: "If you really want to see him off, then..." She looked in the direction of the study, "and sent him a copy of the essays and poems that I just sorted out. , I think it will be useful."

Although Jia Shu didn't think much of Jia Baoyu, she still agreed with one thing——

Jia Baoyu's poems are very spiritual.

But judging from the fact that Jia Baoyu's poems were criticized as worthless by Jia Zheng, his ability to write poems must not be very good.

You can wash his eyes with the poems written by Lin Ruhai and develop his talent for writing poems.

Lin Ruhai opened his mouth, and couldn't think of any other better gift for a long time, so he nodded: "My husband will bring a collection of poems and strategies to send to my second uncle tomorrow. Before that, I will trouble Ruo Sang to help find someone to copy it."

Jia Shu has no answer.

On the second day, Lin Ruhai purposely returned home early.

Jia Shu had already prepared the things he was going to give to Jia Zheng, and when he saw him coming back, he handed them to him directly.

Lin Ruhai blinked: "Won't Ruosang go with you?"

Jia Shu frowned: "I don't have to go there?"

If it is not necessary, she does not want to get involved with the Rongguo Mansion again.

"Second uncle is your elder brother after all, if only my husband goes there alone, mother-in-law and second uncle may think too much." Lin Ruhai persuaded earnestly.

Jia Shu was helpless, if she didn't go, maybe Jia Shishi would be happier, okay?She didn't care whether Jia Zheng would think too much about it.

But Lin Ruhai's expectant little eyes really made her refuse to be incompetent, so she could only nod her head.

After bidding farewell to Mother Lin, the husband and wife got into the carriage and headed to Rongguo Mansion.

Rong Guogong was at home, and he couldn't help sighing when he heard them coming.

Jia Jing was right next to him and couldn't help looking at him: "Second Uncle, Ru Hai came here to see Zhengdi off? After all, he was born in Tanhua, and just a few casual remarks are enough to make Zhengdi useful. With a sad face?"

Jia Jing is also a Jinshi, but he has been an official for many years after all, and the imperial examination was just a fluke to hang the tail of a second-ranked Jinshi. Later, during the palace examination, he was recognized by Emperor Qisheng and his identity was recognized. The ranking was raised to the premise, so that he did not fall into the third list of Jinshi.

Therefore, he is indeed not as good as Lin Ruhai in terms of experience in the imperial examination.

How did Jia Daishan not know that Lin Ruhai only needed to mention a few words about Jia Zheng, so that he could benefit from this imperial examination?

Can……

"Before Jia Shu came home, Ruhai gave Zheng'er a gift of two boxes of books and notes he had read over the years of the imperial examination, but he read them for so long, and his teacher still said that the heat is not enough now..."

Now that Jia Daishan had no expectations for Jia Zheng, he calmed down and asked Jia Zheng's teacher, and only then did he get the answer, "Perhaps the students in the exam are almost too good to be good".

You say that a person who can't even pass the entrance examination as a child can go to the Juren examination, even if he is unlucky, it is impossible for him to pass the examination.

Do you really think the examiner is blind?

If that's the case, he won't be frowning.But if Lin Ruhai is coming, the evil ghost will follow anyway.

Jia Daishan felt that he was old, but he couldn't bear too many shocks.

He subconsciously wanted to touch his beard, but he only touched a short section. He was even more angry from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time, he became more and more afraid of Jia Shu.

Jia Jing didn't know the real concerns in Jia Daishan's heart, but he was stunned by his words: "The heat is not enough? Didn't the government always say that Zheng'er is a genius and can easily get a champion? Even if there is an exaggeration in it , but it’s not that you can’t even pass the exam?”

Jia Daishan was helpless: "It's just a woman's means."

Not to mention Jia Jing, even if it was Jia Daishan, even if he knew from Jia Min's memory that Jia Zheng might not be able to study, he never thought that his ability could not even pass the exam... No, it should be said that even a child student could not pass the exam.

Jia Jing immediately thought of Jia Shishi, and couldn't help frowning: "Second Aunt? Why?"

The corners of Jia Daishan's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything about Jia Shishi's plan to lift Jia Zheng up to compete with Jia Amnesty for the title.

He feels ashamed!

Lin Ruhai and Jia Shu had already arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion. After getting off the car, Jia Shu looked at the big door plaque "Imperially Made Rongguo Mansion" with indifferent eyes.

Lin Ruhai tilted her head: "My lady?"

Jia Shu met his concerned eyes and pursed his lips with a smile: "You look like this, you can't tell that you are an official."

There is no trace of official prestige on him, not to mention, his whole temperament is clear, like a student who has not yet stepped into the officialdom.

Lin Ruhai stared, and immediately stood up straight with a serious expression.

It seemed a bit bluffing, but Jia Shu knew that he was a paper tiger who would blush when poked.

Jia Daishan and Lin Ruhai haven't seen each other for a few months, and his impression of him still remains on the day when they met in the Imperial Academy. When they saw him for the first time, they were still a little dazed: "Ruhai has calmed down a lot."

Lin Ruhai's eyes widened slightly, and he slightly tilted his head to look at Jia Shu, his eyes were full of complacency.

Jia Shu had a gentle face, but he was holding back a smile in his heart.

Sure enough, he was only handsome for three seconds.
