[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family

"How is it? Did Lin Ruhai have any conflicts at his child's [-]-day banquet?"

"Return to Your Highness, never."

"Never?"

"Yes."

"The reason?"

"Marquis Jinyang's methods are too clumsy, which not only aroused Lin Ruhai's suspicion, but also made Doctor Yushi write down a note."

"Why did you get involved with Doctor Yushi?"

"After he failed to administer medicine to Lin Ruhai, he failed to destroy the evidence in time, and happened to be bumped into by the doctor Yushi. However, the city was too shallow and too stupid, so the doctor Yushi discovered the clue."

"The city is too shallow? You might as well call him a waste!" In the dark study, a man in a golden brocade robe sneered, "Oh, the Marquis of Jinyang is really useless. Fortunately, the prince listened to Mr. , did not put the chips on him."

Opposite the man, a thin middle-aged man lowered his head: "Your Highness is wise."

Although the prince thought that the present result would be due to his exhaustive plan, even he did not expect that Marquis Jinyang would be caught without even taking the medicine, and even hit by Doctor Yushi.

As far as this IQ is concerned, to say he is stupid is to praise him!

Do you still want to join His Royal Highness's camp and participate in the battle for succession, so as to seek the future wealth and power of Jinyang Marquis Mansion?The battle to seize the heirloom is a dangerous case at every step, how could they bring a fool like Marquis Jinyang into their side, isn't that self-destruction of the Great Wall?

If he hadn't been a marquis at any rate, they might not be able to get rid of him directly to avoid future troubles.

However, the current situation seems to be no different for them——

The Marquis of Jinyang didn't even know which prince was the real identity of His Royal Highness he was relying on, and the person who usually came into contact with him was just a dispensable official who could be discarded at any time. Get rid of it, and no one will ever suspect His Highness.

Even because they were worried that that idiot Jinyanghou would accidentally reveal their plan, from the very beginning, they had no intention of letting Jinyanghou really participate in their grand cause of seizing the heir apparent.

What His Highness asked the official in charge of contacting the Marquis of Jinyang to give him was just a pack of ordinary medicinal powder, not only non-toxic, but also nourishing to the body.The only side effect is that it may make people feel amplified within three hours after drinking the medicine. Originally, a little bit of dissatisfaction may break out on the spot regardless of the occasion and argue with others.

But no one told Marquis Jinyang the truth about the powder, and what the official told Marquis Jinyang was just a sentence, "People won't die, and the effect of the medicine won't happen on the spot."

Marquis Jinyang was also stupid, not only believed it, but also thought that the medicine was poison or medicine.

But it was precisely because the Marquis of Jinyang felt that it was poison and medicine, so after the Lin family was discovered by Lin Ruhai and Doctor Yushi, he was so anxious——

Poisoning the Earl of Chaopin in the imperial court, even if he is a marquis himself, he will end up dead!

But fortunately, both His Highness and his staff felt that Lin Ruhai was of great use value, and everyone agreed to take this opportunity to test whether Lin Ruhai was worth wooing. That's why the Jinyanghou's drugging incident happened.

If the Marquis of Jinyang succeeds in prescribing the drug, and Lin Ruhai gets emotional and offends others after being drugged, it can only mean that he can achieve his current status mostly due to luck. In fact, he is useless. The key is that it is easy to be drawn into His Highness Showing their feet in front of Emperor Qisheng will easily destroy their original good situation;

If Lin Ruhai didn't reveal his emotions after Jinyanghou successfully administered the drug, it meant that he was deep-minded and someone who could get in touch and try to cooperate, and they would immediately push Jinyanghou to Lin Ruhai as a bargaining chip;

Of course, if the drug was not successful and Marquis Jinyang was arrested on the spot, His Highness only needs to discard an unimportant pawn to get rid of the suspicion.

Marquis of Jinyang was just cannon fodder from beginning to end.

But even if Jin Yang was only used as cannon fodder by them, he could be bumped into by Doctor Yushi...

Even if Zhuge Liang is reborn, it is impossible to count this point?Fortunately, they didn't really ask Marquis Jinyang to poison Lin Ruhai, otherwise, if he got the reputation of murdering nobles, the emperor might let Dr. Yushi cooperate with Dali Temple to investigate the truth of the matter.

At that time, it is not certain whether His Highness will be able to sit behind the Diaoyutai.

"It's a pity, the bamboo basket fetched water in vain." The man sighed in a low voice.

The middle-aged man didn't think they had gained nothing: "Your Highness, at least we know that Lin Ruhai's character is cautious enough, not reckless."

The man called His Highness squinted his eyes and smiled: "Indeed."

As for the others, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and they can always find a way to test Lin Ruhai.

-

As for Lin Ruhai, after Jinyang Hou took the teapot to the teahouse to exchange tea, he found that Doctor Yushi had left.

But even so, his heart was heavy.

The prince finally arranged a mission for him, but he messed it up, and even made the Jinyang Hou Mansion offend the most annoying doctor, the Yushi.He was not too stupid, and he knew that he might be abandoned, and the whole banquet was in a trance and uneasy.

Someone wanted to talk to him, but he ignored it directly.

Judging by the expressions of those people, without the Marquis of Jinyang knowing, he offended an unknown number of people.

Because Lin Ruhai knew that Marquis Jinyang wanted to harm him, his eyes were full of scrutiny when he looked at him again.But today there were so many guests, Lin Ruhai only occasionally set his eyes on Marquis Jinyang, most of the time, he was entertaining guests.

The Rongguo family and the Ningguo family all came. Duke Xiu brought his wife, his eldest son and his wife, and Jia's husband and wife. They also brought generous gifts to congratulate the child on the [-]th day.

There were also some nobles and Qingliu civil officials who had little contact with Wen'anhou's mansion, but they also came to Wen'anhou's mansion with gifts.

This was unbelievable to Lin Ruhai, but he soon realized that some of this group of people came for Jia Daishan and the prince, and some of them came for his current "Holy Favor" come——

With his attitude of rising in rank and rank in less than two years, who can say that Emperor Qisheng is not satisfied with Lin Ruhai?

After Lin Ruhai realized this, his flattered state of mind gradually calmed down: "No matter what, it's all about power and influence, and it's human nature."

After Lin Ruhai calmed down, when he came into contact with people again, he became polite and well-mannered.

Seeing this, many people feel more and more that he has a great future in the future, and his future achievements will not exceed his current status, and his attitude towards Lin Ruhai is also more enthusiastic.

Soon, it was the highlight of the Hundred Days Banquet——

Uncle recognition and naming ceremony.

Two white characters were wrapped in red swaddling clothes and carried out. One was white and plump, and the flesh was very cute. Although the other was not as good as the previous one, the flesh on the cheeks was also very white and tender, and the facial features looked more delicate.

"Xueshi Lin, these two children are really good-looking, and they may fascinate a large group of people in the future."

"Yes, both children look very healthy, and they will surely live a long life in the future!"

"The temper is also well-behaved. It seems that they are calm and not disturbing. In the future, they will definitely be filial to their parents and grandmother!"

……

For a while, the guests attending the banquet were so obedient as if they didn't want money, and kept throwing money at the two children.

What surprised Lin Ruhai even more was that Zhuzhu was fine, but Pippi, who used to be very noisy in the past, was clearly awake at this time, but she also opened a pair of big black eyes and glanced around in the crowd, looking cute and cute.

Zhuzhu blinked her eyes, and quickly narrowed her eyes.

But today is a big day for the two children, so she can't just sleep over the important part of today.The nanny shook carefully, so that she didn't really fall asleep.

Jia Shu was standing next to the two children, and Lin's mother was sitting in the main seat on the female family's side.

The uncle recognition ceremony was relatively simple and ended soon.After a while, the naming ceremony was ready and was about to begin.

First of all, Lin Ruhai, as the host, performed the ceremony of shooting "the four directions of heaven and earth", and set an arc on the left or right of the door, and then the officiant loudly announced the beginning of the ceremony.

The first step is to pray to God, and then to pray to the ancestors.

"Congratulations to Earl Liner—"

As soon as the officiant finished speaking, several servant girls carried the two children to the sacrificial table, beside Lin Ruhai.

The officiant looked in a daze, and the other people present also looked a little strange, and some guests who paid attention to the rules even started to make noise.

Lin Ruhai raised his hand to salute the officiant: "The Lin family has never had many children, and now they have a son and a daughter. It just happened to be a good word, and it is the happiest thing. I believe that God and the ancestors of the Lin family will only be happy, not blame."

Only then did the others think of the plight of the Lin family, which was passed down from generation to generation, even a daughter, and they understood a little more in their hearts.

Even if they still felt that the Lin family's move was not in line with the rules and etiquette, but the Lin family wanted to do this, and there were legitimate reasons, they didn't want to say something bad on the Lin family's good life to make the Lin family unhappy.

Only then did the officiant happily continue the next process: "Peizhang——"

The servant who had been standing behind the officiant walked up to Lin Ruhai with a tray. Lin Ruhai took a closer look and found that there were two jade objects shaped like the half of the character Gui, and they were Zhang.

Lin Ruhai picked up one of them with a smile, first put it on her sister Zhuzhu, then turned around and picked up the other one, and put it on her younger brother Pippi.

Except for Jia Daishan, although the others knew that Jia Shu gave birth to a son and a daughter, they didn't know which of the two children wrapped in swaddling clothes was the son. Therefore, no one responded to Lin Ruhai's behavior of giving his sister Peizhang first. There are objections.

"name--"

Another young man quickly brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, unfolded the paper, and rubbed the poured ink evenly.

Lin Ruhai picked up a pen and carefully wrote down the words "Wan" and "Xian".

According to the rules of the genealogy, the children of Lin Ruhai's generation were named after "尵", while the children of Zhuzhu's generation were all named after "宀".

Lin Ruhai turned to look at the two children, pointed to Zhuzhu and said, "My daughter, Lin Wan," and pointed to Pippi, "My son, Lin Xian."

After that, there are processes such as "identification", "pray", "congratulations", and "thank you". After all of them are completed, the banquet officially begins.

At this time, other people realized that when Lin Ruhai wore Zhang Zhang, it seemed that he gave it to his daughter first.

Some people couldn't help muttering, but the person next to him persuaded: "Although men are not the first priority, they should also be the first priority. Lin Xueshi can't mess around."

As soon as these words came out, although he was still a little dissatisfied, he didn't say any more.

The ancestral home of the Lin family is Gusu, and most of the cooks in the family are top chefs who have been to Gusu to find out. The flavor of Gusu is also different from that of the capital. The Lin family's unique dishes are attractive, and they don't have the time to pay attention to other things.

When the banquet was over, many people who tasted such authentic Gusu-style dishes for the first time still felt a little bit reluctant.

This [-]-day banquet can be regarded as a feast for the guests and hosts.

During this period of time, everyone has been working hard for today's banquet to be held smoothly. Now that the dust has settled, the three adults are all exhausted.

Mother Lin waved her hand: "Go back and rest first, I will have dinner at my place."

The two of Lin Ruhai naturally had no reason to refuse.

After the naming ceremony, the two children were directly carried back to Jia Shu's yard by the nanny because they were worried that they would be noisy and cry, and also worried that they would be sleepy and hungry.

The two carried each other back to the yard, and when they were halfway there, Jia Shu suddenly laughed.

Lin Ruhai looked at her strangely: "What funny thing did Ruosang think of?"

"No, I just feel that it's been a month since I was confinement, and it's the first time we've taken a walk together."

After confinement, Jia Shu and Lin Mu started busy arranging the dishes for the [-]-day banquet. They also had to draw up a list of invited guests as soon as possible. After that, they had to confirm whether the guests on the list would have time to come on the [-]-day banquet. , You have to confirm the style of the invitation, inquire about the taboos of the guests, and arrange the seating of the guests...

A lot of trivial matters took up Jia Shu's time this month, leaving her with no extra energy to focus on other things.

Lin Ruhai is not all right, besides being on duty every day, repairing books, etc., he also has to write invitations when he returns home after finishing his duties, and he also needs to contact the invited guests...

After the Hundred Days Banquet was over, Jia Shu remembered that it had been a long time since the two of them had taken a walk together, nor had they been intimate for a long time.

however……

Jia Shu lowered his head and looked at his waist, which had grown by two circles, and felt a little tired: After a month of confinement, he started to exercise a little, and when two months passed, Jia Shu couldn't wait to recover In the past, the first thing I do when I wake up every morning is to exercise.

In order to restore his figure, Jia Shu even exercised the fat on his body in a targeted manner, and the amount of exercise was gradually increasing.

But what made her depressed was that although the other parts did not grow muscles, the fat also disappeared and returned to the level before pregnancy.But it's the stomach, just like the meat on it is not your own, the naked eye can't see any reduction.

If she hadn't felt that her strength was recovering, she might have doubted whether her daily exercise was fake.

The only thing that made Jia Shu happy was Lin Ruhai's attitude——

He saw with his own eyes that she gradually gained weight after pregnancy, and then slowly lost weight again. He also saw that the muscles in her waist disappeared and turned into fat, which has not been reduced for a long time. His attitude towards himself has not changed much.

When Lin Ruhai heard Jia Shu's words, the corner of his mouth curled down: "Ruosang, you are too busy..."

Pregnancy is a great drain on a woman's body. Even Jia Shu, who was originally very physically strong, is not as energetic as before she was pregnant because of the birth of two children.It was Lin Ruhai, because Jia Shu kept reminding the supervisor to exercise every day, and he also had a thin layer of muscles on his body.

The figures of the two seem to have lost their height.

This also led to the fact that after Lin Ruhai was busy every day, he still had the energy to get close to Jia Shu, but Jia Shu was so tired that he fell asleep right after going to bed.

Lin Ruhai: "..."

Jia Shu felt tired, and he also felt distressed.

Moreover, Lin Ruhai is no more open-minded than Jia Shu. Every time he faces Jia Shu's sleeping face, even if he holds his breath in his heart, he doesn't dare to wake people up like her, and then tease her, and then have sex...

Because thinking of his aggrieved life during this period, Lin Ruhai's tone inevitably contained a sense of grievance.

Jia Shu was stunned: "Aren't you busy too?"

Lin Ruhai held Jia Shu's hand, his eyes flickered: "My husband is not very busy at night."

Jia Shu didn't react at first, but after a while, he directly said, "..."

Lin Ruhai has grown up, it's only been a while, and she has learned to tell dirty jokes to her.

But counting the time, from the time she was found pregnant to the end of confinement, the two of them had not had sex for more than a year. Although Jia Shu was bold and used his hands to solve his physical problems, Lin Ruhai was shy and self-conscious. There is a deliberate control of the number of times, so it doesn't seem so difficult for Lin Ruhai to say such a thing.

She turned around and faced Lin Ruhai directly: "Husband is not busy at night, why didn't you mention it to me?"

Lin Ruhai said that sentence just now, and he was quick-mouthed for a while, but now that Jia Shu is staring at him, he immediately recalled what he said just now, but his cheeks were slightly red, and he turned his head directly, not daring to meet Jia Shu's eyes.

The corner of Jia Shu's mouth ticked up: "Husband, why didn't you answer my question? You can't just say it yourself, so you don't want to admit it?"

Lin Ruhai turned her head abruptly, opened her mouth to explain, but met Jia Shu's smiling eyes, and immediately felt embarrassed again.He didn't turn his head this time, but just moved his eyes randomly, occasionally brushing Jia Shu's face, his cheeks would turn red.

Jia Shu suddenly tiptoed.

Lin Ruhai was startled when she thought she was going to kiss him, but there was more expectation in his heart.

As a result, he waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for the warm touch of skin on his cheek or lips.

He looked at Jia Shu and found that she was straightening his collar with a serious face.

Lin Ruhai: "..."

Although he was disappointed, Jia Shu's move was to show concern for him and considerate him. He never felt that she did something wrong.

Moreover, there were too many guests today, and Lin Ruhai was too busy, so he was not sure if his clothes were messed up or not in the right position.

But when Jia Shu looked up after being busy for a while, and when Jia Shu saw the playfulness in her eyes, Lin Ruhai became confused: "Ruosang, what were you doing just now?"

Jia Shu suppressed a smile: "Adjust your collar for your husband."

Lin Ruhai: "..." Why does he not believe it?

Back to the house, did not hear the child crying.Jia Shu summoned the nanny: "The young master and young lady are both asleep?"

The nanny nodded, and one of them replied: "I woke up once in the middle, but after feeding the young master and miss the colostrum they bought, they fell asleep."

Jia Shu nodded: "You carry the young master and young lady to the right wing, be careful not to wake them up!"

Although the two nannies didn't understand what he meant, they were obedient and quickly returned to the cubicle, carrying the two children to the cubicle.

Lin Ruhai was listening on the sidelines, and didn't say much.

After everyone left, the two of them changed into pajamas and lay down directly on the bed to sleep.

Lin Ruhai was full of anticipation at first, and her heart was pounding.Although he felt that it was still daytime and it was not easy to mess around, but it was true that he and Jia Shu hadn't been close for a long time, and he really missed him dearly.

In this tense and excited mood, he has been waiting for Jia Shu to take the initiative.

But after a while, Jia Shu seemed to be asleep and remained motionless.He turned his head to look and found that Jia Shu's eyes were tightly closed, breathing evenly, and he seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Lin Ruhai: "..." I suddenly felt itchy in my throat and hands.

He was angry for a while, and reached out to Jia Shu several times, but in the end he gave up his original plan.

He sighed, leaned close to Jia Shu and kissed her earlobe, and retreated to his position, ready to rest.

"puff……"

Jia Shu turned around and hugged Lin Ruhai's waist directly: "Ruhai, husband, what are you doing?"

Lin Ruhai: "..."

He stared wide-eyed and looked at Jia Shu in disbelief, "You didn't sleep?"

Jia Shu leaned over and kissed Lin Ruhai's lips, and said vaguely, "My husband just blamed me for neglecting you, how could I still be able to sleep?"

Lin Ruhai was so angry and annoyed that he turned over and pinned Jia Shu under him.

……

The two messed around, but they didn't make it to the end.

After all, I will have dinner at Mother Lin's yard later, if there is a mess, it is hard not to be seen through by Mother Lin.

When the two came to Lin's mother's yard with a child in their arms, a table of three favorite dishes was already placed on the table, and a special pickled fish from other places was placed in the middle. But the sour taste, just by smelling it, makes the mouth watery and the appetite widens.

The three people who had no appetite because they were busy all pointed to the pickled fish at the same time, and several maids also held spoons and filled them with a bowl of soup.

Although you can't eat too much for dinner, otherwise it will be easy to accumulate food, but today the three of them were tired all day, and they didn't use much for breakfast and lunch. They were tired and didn't feel hungry, but at this time, they had something to eat , the three of them temporarily forgot this rule, although they didn't eat until their belly rounded, but they were full——

You must know that before they ate, they would only eat seven or eight percent full.

After dinner, the servant girl brought tea to rinse her mouth and washed her hands, then the three of them sat next to each other and began to gossip.

Lin's mother stared at the dishes on the table with bright eyes after she was full, drooling, "Ah!" Pippi yelled, and couldn't help laughing: "Shouer named him Pipi, but it really didn't make sense." Wrong. Look at this gluttonous little appearance, if not for his hands and feet are bound, how could he be so fussy at this time?"

The nanny holding Pippi kept wiping his saliva, but as Pippi kept poking his mouth, some of the saliva flowed out again.She could only pick up the silk and wipe it on his face.

Beside Zhuzhu's eyes turned round and round on the dishes, and she could see that she was also greedy, but surprisingly, she was very quiet, her small mouth was tightly closed, and she did not shed a drop of saliva.

But when she compared it to the side, Pippi's attitude became even more ridiculous.

Jia Shu and Lin Ruhai also laughed.

Hearing their voices, the two children looked directly at the two, then turned around between Jia Shu and Lin Ruhai, and looked at Jia Shu in unison.

"Ah, ah, ah..." The two children uttered some words that adults could not understand.

Mother Lin laughed again: "Do they want to hug him? You two, don't you want to hug her?"

Jia Shu waved his hand: "Give Pippi to me, and Zhuzhu will be handed over to mother to hold. They like mother."

Mother Lin smiled even more: "Then bring Zhuzhu here."

Just when Pippi was hugged by Jia Shu, her black grape-like eyes lit up immediately, and she jumped excitedly in Jia Shu's arms.It's a pity that it was wrapped in swaddling clothes, and there was very little movement.

He seemed to feel unhappy, and started screaming "ahhh" again, with his small mouth curled up, looking at Jia Shu pitifully.

Jia Shu suddenly said, "Husband, don't you think Pippi looks very similar to you?"

Not only the appearance, but also the aggrieved little eyes.

Lin Ruhai was completely unconscious, and asked her curiously, "Do you really look like me?"

Because Jia Shu didn't hug Zhuzhu, she had a little temper, not crying or fussing, but she just closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, not wanting to care about others.

But after waiting for a while, it is estimated that her anger has subsided, or it may be because she slept too much during the day. She is so energetic now that she can't sleep at all, so she quickly opened her eyes again, and then stayed in Lin Mu's arms, her eyes were everywhere. Turn around.

Mother Lin simply adjusted her position so that she faced Jia Shu.

Just at this time, I overheard the conversation between the two, and interjected: "Pippi's mouth is quite similar to you, but her eyebrows and eyes are more similar to Shu'er. On the contrary, Zhuzhu's eyes are more like you."

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Pippi became quiet again.

Lin Ruhai twirled the faces of the two children curiously, and said hesitantly after a while: "It seems so..."

The child is still too young, and his facial features have not yet developed, so he can't tell the difference.

Furthermore, after serious reflection just now, he found that the irrelevant memories about himself in his mind were all blurred, not to mention splitting the facial features and comparing them with the two children.

Jia Shu laughed at him: "My mother has already said that, so can I still lie to you?"
