"You bad old man! How many times have I told you! Go change your clothes quickly! If you delay picking up Jing'er later, humph! Just wait and let it go!"
Zhou Huan helplessly said to Mrs. Zhou, "Look at you, can you speak according to the occasion? Ruhai is still here!" As he said this, he pointed to a very thin man sitting next to him.
The man had a very finely trimmed beard, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and sideburns as sharp as a knife. There was a faint trace of illness in his eyebrows, but he also carried a stubborn and persevering heroic spirit. Although he smiled, he
It can make people feel the overwhelming energy in their body!
If you look carefully, you may be able to see a bit of Daiyu in it...
Yes, this man is a prince of the Five Dynasties, a noble man of the Qing Dynasty. He first served as the official of Lantai Temple, and later moved to the Huaihe River to inspect the salt censor. He dominated Yangzhou for more than ten years. He has a heart of stone and a firm ambition. He became famous at a young age and was the top pick in high school.
, I am proud of the spring breeze, marrying a noble daughter, occupying a high position, and possessing great power. The likely future father-in-law of Jia Jing, Marquis of Ning State, is named Lin Hai, with the given name Ruhai!
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said to Lin Ruhai, "Can Ruhai be considered an outsider? Ruhai, please sit down for a moment, let's go and pick up Jing'er first..."
Zhou Huan immediately said unhappily, "What are you talking about? What is Ruhai if he's not an outsider? Could it be you...cough! How can I run to pick up Jing'er when the guests are still there? No! No, no, no!"
"
Lin Ruhai couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook her head when she heard Zhou Huan's ridicule. Mrs. Zhou suddenly raised her eyebrows, stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "What did you say?"
Zhou Huan was so frightened that he quickly shrank his neck and blinked at Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou then put away the fierce light in her eyes and snorted, then turned to Lin Ruhai and smiled and said, "Ruhai, sit down first, wait for us to go out."
I'll meet you after I pick up Jinger."
Lin Ruhai smiled and nodded and said, "That's fine, Madam-in-law, just go ahead." Zhou Huan said dissatisfiedly, "What are you going for? A loving mother often loses her son!"
Zhou Huan vomited his bitterness to Lin Ruhai and said, "Ruhai, you didn't know that she was like this when she was there. Can she be so doting on a child? Sooner or later, he will be spoiled!"
Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly and shook his head. Apart from the two of you, who else treats the dignified Marquis of Ning Jia Jing as a child...
Since Zhou Huan came to Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai often visited Zhou Huan because of Jia Jing, firstly to learn about the situation of Jia's family, and secondly to ask Zhou Huan for advice.
We were good friends who had been together for a while, but later they separated and lived apart due to their own changes in their lives.
Now that we are over half a hundred years old, when we meet again, our heads are already covered with frost and snow, and our faces are full of vicissitudes of life. Naturally, we are full of emotions. Many years ago, when they were young and energetic, they may not have much interaction and talk. But now that they meet again, it is more about each other.
They cherished each other and soon became close friends like old friends for many years.
That's why Mrs. Zhou refused to recognize Lin Ruhai, and even let Lin Ruhai sit at home by herself. And Zhou Huan said that Lin Ruhai was a guest, so naturally he was prevaricating Mrs. Zhou...
Now that Mrs. Zhou heard Zhou Huan's venting of dissatisfaction, she suddenly understood. She sneered and put her hands on her hips and said, "I said why I can't move at all today. It turns out I had already thought about it! You have to move even if you don't move today! Don't move."
You have to move! Can you move?"
Zhou Huan hurriedly dodged and said, "No! No, no, no! Oh, I'm a teacher, but I have to greet the students, so what kind of teacher am I? I don't have any face at all? I won't go!"
Mrs. Zhou quickly "chased" Zhou Huan. Lin Ruhai on the side was obviously used to it. She just drank tea silently, but when she looked at Zhou Huan and Mrs. Zhou, she was inevitably a little distracted...
Back when he was very proud of his youth, Duke Rong Guo married his legitimate daughter. He was young and proud, and his wife was also the daughter of a prince, but she didn't have the arrogance of the legitimate daughter of everyone. Instead, she was quirky and quite sentimental.
, the two have been getting married for so many years, and they have always been in harmony with each other.
The death of his wife has always been a pain in his heart. This pain even directly covered up the pain of losing his son in middle age. He loved his first wife very much. As much as he loved him, he hated it as much as he hated his own incompetence.
I hate every murderer in this city who kills Miner!
So when Emperor Yongxi's predicament eased, Emperor Yongxi didn't think of bringing Lin Ruhai back and replacing him with someone else. After all, Lin Ruhai's talent was being left behind in a place like Yangzhou City to be consumed by these people, which was a bit of a letdown.
But Lin Ruhai himself refused...
He has been locked in a fight with these salt merchants all his life! He will never leave Yangzhou City without killing every one of them who has done something to his son or his wife!
He even dared not see his only relative now, his only daughter...
As a parent, how can you not love your children? But the more you love them, the more you hope that they can live a good life without all the suffering they have brought.
Daiyu has the shadow of Min'er in her body. He is ashamed of his wife and even more ashamed of Daiyu, so he has no face to see Daiyu, let alone dares to see Daiyu, so he uses an extremely humble tone in his heart to Jia Zheng.
I beg this brother-in-law to take care of his orphaned daughter for the sake of past kindness.
Lin Ruhai himself can actually roughly see his own ending. He has exhausted all his efforts over the years, but the mountains in front of him have not swayed at all...
He was probably going to see his head bruised and bloody, and his body broken into pieces when he hit it on the mountain!
How did he know that his orphan girl died in tears after losing the company of all her relatives in Shenjing? Lin Ruhai didn't know, and he probably couldn't care less...
Seeing Zhou Huan and his wife's intimate behavior at this time, Lin Ruhai could not help but miss his wife, so he couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Seeing this, Zhou Huan blocked Mrs. Zhou and said to Lin Ruhai, "Ruhai, did you not get a good rest yesterday?"

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said, "It's okay, it's okay..." Zhou Huan nodded and said, "You! I don't know how many times I have told you, no matter what you think, the most important thing is
It’s about protecting yourself! Look at yourself, you’re almost falling down before anyone touches you!”
Lin Ruhai smiled and said with a bit of coldness in his eyes, "You have to give it a try to find out..."
Zhou Huan glanced at him with a smile, and then said, "Okay now, with a helper here, you can relax a little bit." Lin Ruhai hesitated slightly when he heard this, frowned and said, "I still don't think it's appropriate.
If you randomly drag him into the affairs of Yangzhou City, will it have any adverse impact on him?"
Zhou Huan laughed loudly when he heard this and said, "Ruhai, you still don't know this kid well enough. If he really thinks this Yangzhou city is dangerous, he won't go out of his way just because I'm here!"
Lin Ruhai was slightly surprised when he heard this, "No?" Zhou Huan smiled and said, "You just don't understand this kid."
Mrs. Zhou patted Zhou Huan and said dissatisfied, "Don't bury Jing'er!" Zhou Huan immediately said dissatisfied, "You don't understand your own Jing'er?"
Mrs. Zhou hesitated slightly when she heard this, "Jing'er also has good intentions..."
Lin Ruhai "......"
Zhou Huan chuckled and said, "What do you think? A loving mother often loses her son!" Mrs. Zhou naturally refuted it fiercely when she heard this. Lin Ruhai could only shake her head helplessly, and there was no longer any feeling of using Jia Jing in her heart.
At this moment, I heard a cheerful shout from outside, "Sir! Wife! I'm here! Sir!"
Zhou Huan and others were stunned for a moment, and then they all looked at the door. Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but slap Zhou Huan and said, "Look at you! It's all because of you! I keep dragging you! Jing'er herself is here! Jing'er! My Jing'er!"
"
As soon as Jia Jing entered the door, Mrs. Zhou rushed up to him and hugged him again and again, and kept stroking Jia Jing's head and neck. Zhou Huan rolled his eyes again, but he quickly returned to his role as a teacher.
Jia Jing felt the long-lost love from her mistress, and couldn't help but choked with sobs and knelt down to kowtow, "Jing'er is back!" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhou quickly wiped her tears and helped Jia Jing up with a smile.
The two of them walked to Zhou Huan together. Jia Jing knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou Huan again. Zhou Huan also stopped him and said with a smile, "Just come back, just come back!"
As soon as Jia Jing raised her head, Zhou Huan pointed to Lin Ruhai on the side and said, "Don't get busy yet, you should also know this, your uncle, Lin Ruhai, the censor of salt patrol in Lianghuai River!"
These words were like a bolt from the blue that suddenly woke up Jia Jing! Jia Jing looked at the man aside blankly, opening and closing her mouth several times, but didn't know what to say...
Otherwise, I'd better kneel down and kowtow...
Jia Jing was hesitating in her heart, but Lin Ruhai stood up excitedly, and then grabbed Jia Jing's hand with both hands. Jia Jing was startled, but she saw Lin Ruhai's eyes were red, and she trembled slightly and grabbed Jia Jing's hand, her lips slightly trembling.
Jia Jing was trembling, but she was confused. Why are you more excited than me?
Lin Ruhai opened and closed her mouth several times, but finally it turned into a silent sob. Zhou Huan sighed and stood up and patted Lin Ruhai's shoulder. Lin Ruhai collected her emotions for a long time, then raised her head and choked out to Jia Jing, "I, I'm sorry."
Your Jia family, I..."
As Lin Ruhai spoke, he lowered his head again as if repenting, put his head on his and Jia Jing's hands, and began to cry. Now Jia Jing finally understood a little bit, he seemed to be... doing it for Jia Min.
Apologize?
That's right, the reason why Lin Ruhai was so rude could only be the matter involving Jia Min. He thought that he failed to protect Jia Min. It was because of him that Jia Min left so early, so he has been feeling guilty inside for so many years.
As time passed, this guilt not only did not diminish with the passage of time, but instead penetrated deeper into his heart! It tortured him all the time!
So when Lin Ruhai saw the Jia family and his wife's natal family again after so many years, she couldn't suppress the grief and guilt in her heart and cried bitterly.
He confessed in a low voice, "I'm sorry for Min'er, I'm sorry for the old Duke. The old Duke said that he trusted me and thought I would protect Min'er... I'm sorry, I broke my promise! I'm sorry...
…”
Lin Ruhai kept repeating I'm sorry, Zhou Huan glared at Jia Jing, Jia Jing recovered from her daze, and quickly comforted Lin Ruhai, "Uncle, there is no need to be so sad. I believe that if aunt is still here at this time, she will not
I want you to do this."
Lin Ruhai shook her head gently and looked up at Jia Jing who still looked very guilty. Jia Jing sighed helplessly and said, "No one in the Jia family blames you. We all know that you have tried your best. This kind of thing...cannot be done"
Avoided."
Lin Ruhai took a deep breath and shook her head silently. Jia Jing didn't know what to say, and Mrs. Zhou beside her couldn't help crying.
Only then did Zhou Huan say, "Well, Ruhai, we still have to look forward. No matter what, it is over after all, so we still have to continue doing things, right?"
Lin Ruhai then closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, calming down her mood. Then she forced a smile and wiped away her tears and said to Jia Jing, "I haven't seen anyone from the Jia family for so many years. It's inevitable that I'm a little excited. Don't be surprised if you are confused."
Jia Jing shook her head in shame and said, "There are a lot of things in Neurocity, so I always forget and omit a lot of things. I hope my uncle will understand." Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, "I understand your difficulties, and I don't have a lot of problems."
Is it something you can’t help yourself with?”
Jia Jing nodded, and everyone then looked at the man and woman following Jia Jing. Zhou Huan asked in confusion, "Huiyu, who are these two?"
Bao Qin and Xue Biao, who were feeling sad about Lin Ruhai, heard this and hurried forward to visit Mrs. Zhou Huanzhou and Lin Ruhai. Jia Jing introduced with a smile, "The two brothers and sisters of the Xue family came south with me. Xue Biao is a good person and has a loyal nature.
A little too honest, this girl... ugh!"
Bao Qin wrinkled her little nose slightly and looked at Jia Jing, making everyone laugh. Jia Jing looked at Zhou Huan with a smile and said, "The personalities of the two brothers and sisters are suitable for a change. This girl Bao Qin actually got into him by herself."
What was in my brother’s luggage actually deceived many of my battle-hardened soldiers into hiding on my ship in the Tibetan wilderness for three days to survive!”
Zhou Huan and others also looked at Bao Qin with some curiosity after hearing this. Bao Qin smiled shyly after hearing this, which made everyone curious. The little girl in front of them didn't look so naughty anyway!
But Mrs. Zhou likes Baoqin very much, just because Baoqin is more beautiful than Ruhai's daughter that Jia Jing showed her last time!
