[Red House] No one knows that it is lychee

Lin Xiao lowered her head, staring at the Jiulianhuan in her hand, but couldn't help laughing in her heart.

He knew Jia Min's thoughts clearly. To put it bluntly, his aunt didn't have any evil intentions, but she was too thoughtful.

It would be fun to tease her once in a while.

Lin Ruhai, who has not yet returned to the mansion, does not know that she has been burdened with such a burden.He is currently in the yamen, frowning and listening to his subordinates' reports.

"...It seems to be a bit hot now," said the subordinate, "it seems to be suffering from a cold."

Lin Ruhai frowned slightly: "Go and invite Dr. Zhao, take a good look, the new year will be over, the weather will be cold, and the wind and cold will be bad."

The subordinate responded, and then went down.

Lin Ruhai rubbed his chin, stood up, and planned to go home.I have been entangled by things for a while, now I have to go back quickly.

Thinking of his beautiful wife and children at home, Lin Ruhai's tense face relaxed a little - he hasn't seen Yu'er for a year, and today he is free, so he can have a good meal with Yu'er.

A clever young man brought a horse outside, Lin Ruhai rode on the horse, and couldn't wait to go home.

The winter in Yangzhou City is still cold and cold, Lin Ruhai is walking on the road, the tip of his nose is slightly red.Although the wind was blowing cold, Lin Ruhai arrived home as quickly as possible.

As soon as he stepped into Jia Min's courtyard, Lin Ruhai heard Lin Xiao's laughter, which was also mixed with Lin Daiyu's light laughter. The servants outside the courtyard also lowered their heads, and they all looked like they were holding back their laughter.

Lin Ruhai stepped into the door in surprise: "What's the matter? So happy?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a young man standing in the middle of the main room.The boy was wearing a warm red and gold shirt, and a purple gold crown with hair inlaid on his head. From the back, his back was as straight as a pine, his temperament was as gorgeous, and he looked like a good boy.

But when the boy turned around, Lin Ruhai froze when he saw his face.

——On Jia Baoyu's face was stuck a big scruff, that scab was very conspicuous, it was at the corner of his mouth, completely destroying the pleasing feeling brought by a beautiful face.

Lin Ruhai:? ? ?

Jia Baoyu didn't expect Lin Ruhai to come back so soon, he was startled, and hurriedly saluted Lin Ruhai: "Baoyu has seen uncle."

Lin Ruhai stared at Jia Baoyu for a while, but couldn't move his eyes away from the scab at the corner of Jia Baoyu's mouth.After Jia Baoyu said goodbye again, Lin Ruhai struggled to look away, made him stand up vaguely, and then asked: "You...what's wrong with the corner of your mouth? Could it be that you got angry? Do you want to see the doctor?"

When Jia Baoyu faced his uncle, he didn't know why he was a little more scared than his father Jia Zheng. Hearing what Lin Ruhai said, he quickly raised his hand and took off the mole from the corner of his mouth, and said with a smirk. Lin Ruhai said: "My uncle is worried. This is just a piece of noodles. I stuck it on my face to make my aunt and younger brothers and sisters happy."

Jia Min on the side also suppressed a smile and called Lin Ruhai to sit down: "It turns out that the children are playing, so don't worry, sit down quickly."

Lin Ruhai changed the clothes on his body, cleaned his hands under the service of the maid, and then sat down.On one side, Jia Baoyu blushed like a monkey's buttocks, rubbing against each other, not knowing whether to stand or sit.

It was Lin Ruhai who helped him out: "These few days, are you still used to living here?"

Jia Baoyu replied respectfully: "Thank you uncle and aunt for taking care of me, and brother Xiao talking to sister Lin, I live very well."

Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Your brother Lian, on the other hand, runs around all day and doesn't see anyone else."

Since Jia Lian arrived in Yangzhou, he has been running outside every day.Lin Ruhai specially sent someone to follow him secretly, and found that Jia Lian did not go to that kind of fireworks place, but was socializing everywhere, as if planning to make a fortune secretly before leaving.

For this kind of private behavior, Lin Ruhai didn't bother to care about it, as long as Jia Lianming kept his face clean, he wouldn't be caught in the pigtails.

Jia Baoyu didn't know what Jia Lian was busy with all day long. Seeing what Lin Ruhai said, Jia Baoyu subconsciously spoke good words for Jia Lian: "Second brother Lian has been traveling around for the past few days. I think he has something to do, so he won't waste his time. .”

Lin Ruhai took a look at Jia Baoyu, and got a new understanding of him.

——Although he is a bit naive, he is still a child after all, and his talent is good, and what is even more rare is that he still has a heart of innocence.

"Well, sit down." Lin Ruhai had nothing to do, and didn't answer Jia Baoyu's words directly, but just asked him to sit down too, "Today we are all relatives at home, so there is no need to worry too much."

Only then did Jia Baoyu sit down next to Lin Ruhai. He watched his eyes, his nose, his nose, and his heart. He was usually lively and loved to laugh, but now he showed the demeanor of a child of everyone, trying not to make mistakes in front of Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai saw that Jia Baoyu was funny, and ignored him, but turned to his child.He stared at Lin Daiyu and Lin Xiao carefully, and said to Jia Min: "Yu'er's complexion is much better, and Brother Xiao is also much taller."

"It's been a good time," Jia Min said with a smile, "Master doesn't know, the two of them are living in that house, eating extra food at a daily price, drinking a lot of soup, and their complexion is not easy Make it up."

Lin Daiyu was a little ashamed when she heard her mother expose her old background.Lin Xiao said very frankly: "The lychees are delicious."

Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows, he naturally knew that Lychee was a maid from Jia's mansion, she was good at cooking, so it's not bad to give it to his daughter now.

After a few greetings from everyone, the servants began to serve the dishes.

The Lin family eats Yangzhou cuisine, which belongs to Huaiyang cuisine, which is characterized by light and original taste, which is very different from the usual style of Jia's mansion.Most of the dishes on the table are river fish, which tastes quite special.

Later, the servant who served the dishes brought a casserole, and through the lid, one could still hear the sound of gurgling and boiling inside.Everyone looked at the casserole with curiosity, Jia Min asked, "What is this?"

Qingyue on the side was very clever, and immediately replied: "As for my wife, this is made of lychee, she said it is... Bak Kut Teh."

Bak Kut Teh?

The name sounded a bit strange, Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu looked curious, only Lin Xiao sat there very calmly, eating slowly.

When the lid of the casserole was lifted, the contents inside were revealed to everyone, and at the same time, the peculiar smell of meat mixed with medicinal herbs also began to spread in the room.

Qingyue served a bowl for everyone, and no one in the room spoke for a while, and everyone was very curious about the novel food.

"This soup is really good," Lin Ruhai also boasted in a rare way, "It's really good craftsmanship."

Jia Min scooped up a spoonful of the soup and said with a smile, "It's hard for her to think about it. There are also warming and tonic herbs in it, and the taste is not bad."

Everyone happily finished the last soup, and then they asked people to remove the food. After washing, Lin Ruhai said to Jia Baoyu: "Baoyu, follow me."

Jia Baoyu looked at his uncle in bewilderment, and then at his aunt Jia Min as if asking for help.Jia Min winked at him, but Jia Baoyu had no choice but to follow Lin Ruhai out.

Along the way, Jia Baoyu felt a little uneasy, not knowing what Lin Ruhai told him to do.When they arrived at Lin Ruhai's study room, Lin Ruhai had a pleasant expression on his face: "Sit down."

Jia Baoyu sat down tremblingly, with his back straight.Lin Ruhai pretended not to see it, but said to him: "In a few days, Chen Yuetang and Chen Daru will open the door to pick out apprentices, do you have any plans in mind?"

Jia Baoyu was taken aback—it was because of this matter.

Sitting opposite Lin Ruhai, he frowned hesitantly. After a long silence, he confessed to Lin Ruhai: "Uncle, I...I haven't made up my mind yet."

Lin Ruhai looked at him with a half-smile: "Do you just dislike it, or do you dislike being restrained?"

Jia Baoyu shook his head: "I don't want to disappoint my parents, my uncle and my aunt, but if I say I'm sure, I don't have the confidence."

Moreover, he himself still doesn't know whether it is the right choice to become a teacher.

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "If that's the case, let's try it."

"You're confused now, why don't you go and see for yourself," Lin Ruhai said warmly, "Seeing is believing, hearing is believing."

Jia Baoyu looked up at his uncle, his heart beating slightly faster in his chest.Seeing his uncle's gentle attitude, he also became bolder: "Yes!"

Lin Ruhai smiled, and continued: "There are so many people who want to be Chen Yuetang's disciples, you may not be selected if you go, but there is no need to be so troubled."

Jia Baoyu:? ? ?

Uncle, are you really my real uncle?

-

Liu Xianglian felt a little prickly on her face.

It was as if something was brushing against his face.

He raised his hand impatiently and scratched his face, but the thing got worse and even pecked him twice.

... two pecks?

Liu Xianglian opened her eyes suddenly, only to see a black mynah stepping on him generously, looking at him.On the top of a nearby cabinet is a large parrot that appears to be taking a nap.

"...how did you two come here?" Liu Xianglian looked at Mynah, puzzled, "there is a huge distance between Beijing and Yangzhou."

Mynah stared at him, didn't say anything, but suddenly flapped her wings and flew towards the door.

Liu Xianglian looked in the direction of mynah, and saw another young man leaning against the door with a playful smile on his face, seeing Liu Xianglian spotted him, the young man nodded at him: "Of course I brought it here .”

Liu Xianglian touched her face, looking confused: "Feng Ziying? Why are you here? Or am I in the capital now?"
