Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Huan carefully, then sighed and smiled at Jia Zheng, who had long been extremely proud: "There will be such a son in the future generations of the Jia family. Even though Mount Tai is under nine springs, he can still smile. Cunzhou has cultivated such a son for the Jia family."
My disciples can be said to be the most meritorious."
Jia Zheng was extremely happy to receive such a comment from Lin Ruhai, but he waved his hands with a smile on his face and said: "They are as naughty as brothers and useless. Ruhai doesn't need to put gold on their faces."
Then he scolded Jia Huan softly: "Keep your uncle's teachings in mind! Don't be arrogant!"
When Jia Huan heard this, he quickly bowed and said yes. Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "It's already very good. I heard that I also won the exam. The Enke exam is newly opened this year. Are you ready to take the exam?"
Jia Huan bowed slightly and said: "Sir, you said you can give it a try. Huan knows that he has little talent and little luck, and his virtue is not up to par. He just thought it would be a good idea to give it a try this time, so he has experience first."
Lin Ruhai smiled and nodded and said: "When my affairs are settled, you can come to my house with the article. Although I have not been in contact with the industry for many years, I can teach you a thing or two."
Hearing this, both Jia Zheng and Jia Huan expressed their gratitude in great surprise, and Jia Zheng hurriedly said to Jia Huan: "Study hard! Don't let your uncle's teachings to you go down! Your uncle was a man who didn't know how to be a prostitute.
How many people are envious of you! Although you are a beast and not worthy enough, at least you should not let your uncle down!"
Jia Huan hurriedly said yes and bowed to thank Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai waved her hands and smiled, saying it was not a big deal. For a moment, both Jia Zheng and Jia Huan were very excited.
Jia She on the side was filled with jealousy, but there was nothing he could do except stare at Jia Lian. Jia Lian was so glaring that he was sweating profusely and did not dare to say anything!
Baoyu on the side actually felt a little uncomfortable. Usually he should be the protagonist in this kind of situation, but now he is Jia Huan...
It's not that he's jealous, it's just that it's unnatural...
He saw Jia Lan hiding aside again, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. After looking at it for a long time, he sighed: "This son looks like Zhu'er when he was young, but... Alas! I expected this to be the grandson of Zhou Weicun?"
"
Jia Zheng also sighed and stroked Jia Lan's little head and said: "He is Zhu'er's son, Lan'er, come and meet your uncle-in-law!"
Jia Lan stepped forward timidly and said hello to Lin Ruhai in a soft voice. Jia Zheng tenderly stroked Jia Lan's little head with pity.
Lin Ruhai also sighed and said: "It's such a pity Zhu'er. When we got the news over there, we couldn't help but be shocked and shed tears. Why can the old and decrepit people survive, but the young people with lofty ideals... Alas!"
If we talk about the past, it must have been the first sign of the decline of the Jia family, and even the last hope of revitalizing the Jia family died!
But now Jia Zhu's death is actually full of doubts. Back then, even Jia Jing noticed something was wrong!
But after so many years with no results, Jia Jing could only keep this matter in her heart, just thinking that Jia Zhu was destined to have such a disaster!
Hearing the two talking about their late father, Jia Lan couldn't help crying. The little child pursed his lips and did not dare to cry. Upon seeing this, Jia Zheng went up and patted his little shoulder comfortingly, speaking softly.
I was persuaded to go back.
Then he said to Lin Ruhai: "Let's not stand here. Let's go in and talk. I'm afraid the old lady can't wait any longer!"
Lin Ruhai nodded in agreement, and everyone went in immediately. Jia Zheng and Jia She led Lin Ruhai in front, and the children of the Jia family followed. Looking at the pavilions and pavilions as they were, Jia She and Jia Zheng couldn't help but point at Lin Ruhai.
The scenery remains the same, the person has passed away, and everyone has changed from the green young people to the old and old people now. In the past decades, everyone has been affected by what Lin Ruhai said, even the young Jia family members.
The children all feel the vicissitudes of life in their hearts!
Baoyu, who had been silent since just now, opened his mouth and sighed: "This kind of mood scene, if the second brother is here, it will be another good poem!"
Jia Baoyu's original intention was to bring the topic to poetry. After all, except for the most cultured Lin Ruhai, there is probably no one here who can write poetry better than him! What's more, not long ago, he was still practicing drinking.
When you get an excellent piece of music, how can you feel complacent about it?
Of course, he also wants to show off his talent in the eyes of his future father-in-law, to make up for his somewhat average first impression when they first met...
Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai nodded in agreement and started discussing Jia Jing's poems with Jia Zheng! No one cared about Jia Baoyu's poems!
Although Dayan did not attach as much importance to poetry as it did in the Tang and Song Dynasties, people could still compose poems at this time, and good poems were still highly respected!
Poetry culture, at a small scale, is a piece of entertainment, but at a large scale, it can guide the trend of a social era!
Therefore, in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, most of the poems and parallel prose were magnificent and charming, with many pretentious words. By the time of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Tang people's poetry style was jealous and criticized and launched a retro movement. The style of poetry became more heroic and magnificent. Social atmosphere and poetry inherently influence each other.
accomplished.
Therefore, the culture of poetry can be said to be a very important chapter for the Chinese nation from ancient times to the present. Previously, Jia Jing and Ren Suxuan both said that "poetry is nothing more than trivial matters." That was a self-effacing statement made by people who knew how to write poetry...
Just like what literati often call themselves: "A useless scholar" and "I would rather be a centurion than a scholar." These are the self-effacing, self-encouragement and self-mockery of other scholars. If you, an illiterate, take it seriously, you will
It's so ridiculous......
There is even something that many people like to talk about: "For every person who is loyal and slaughters a dog, most of the people who are unfaithful are scholars." The real meaning is that even the people in the market know loyalty, but some scholars often violate it.
What I really want to do is to draw lessons from those who read it, rather than criticizing all those who have read it.
Everyone needs to study at any time. Not studying is not something you are proud of. On the contrary, it should be your regret...
Look, if an illiterate person who cannot write poetry disdainfully says that poetry is just rubbish and has no use for society or the country, will he be sprayed into a sieve in minutes...
Therefore, Jia Baoyu actually wanted to take this opportunity to show off his strength to Lin Ruhai, but unfortunately, Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng did not give him this opportunity at all...
Lin Ruhai and Jia Jing actually began to discuss Jia Jing's poems with great interest, and the more they chatted, the more they became more and more speculative. They completely forgot about Baoyu beside them. Baoyu couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he saw this, so he stopped talking.
Everyone went to Rongxi Hall to talk together. In fact, it was just Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai talking. Even Jia She felt bored sitting here for a while. Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai just talked about some past things, and Jia She inevitably felt a little bit on pins and needles.
Already.
If you have time to chat with Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai here, you might as well go back and drink with your little wife in your arms!
After sitting for a while, Jia Mu and others from behind hurriedly urged Lin Ruhai to meet at the back. Jia Zheng stood up and smiled at Lin Ruhai: "Look, I haven't seen Ruhai for many years. In the excitement of chatting, I actually forgot."
There are still so many people waiting behind us!"
Jia Zheng said to Lin Ruhai: "Then Ruhai, let's go to the back first." Lin Ruhai nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, we just want to see the old lady!"
Everyone then went to Rongqing Hall in one fell swoop. At this time, Jia Mu and others had no time to wait, and even stood at the door and looked over.
After seeing Lin Ruhai, Jia Mu was immediately shocked. Although Lin Ruhai had already been a little emotional when she saw Jia Zheng and Jia Shezhi before, she was still the same when she saw Jia Mu again!
Seeing Jia Mu waving to her from a distance, Lin Ruhai hurriedly stepped forward, her throat choked with emotion and speechless for a moment!
But he still forced himself to kneel on the ground and said in pain: "Mother-in-law! My son-in-law... is back! I'm back to apologize to you!"
When Jia Mu saw Lin Ruhai's appearance, her heart was broken. Now when she heard Lin Ruhai's voice weeping blood, she couldn't help but burst into tears!
Seeing this situation, the inner circle of the Jia family felt sour in their hearts, and all the girls could not help but burst into tears for a while! Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, Jia Zheng and others finally persuaded her to stop, but Jia's mother's feet were weak and she stepped forward tremblingly.
He stretched out his hand to help Lin Ruhai up, but saw Lin Ruhai's face kneeling on the ground already covered with tears!
Mother Jia couldn't help feeling even more distressed, holding Lin Ruhai's hand and patting it: "You child, you, why don't you know how to cherish yourself?"
Lin Ruhai's parents died young. When he was young, he was cared for by Jia Daishan, the late Rongguo, and Jia Mu, the wife of Rongguo. The two regarded Lin Ruhai as their own children. At this time, she felt the long-lost kindness of her parents, and Lin Ruhai couldn't help but feel heartbroken!
At this moment, he also missed his deceased wife, so he just shook his head: "I, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you! I couldn't take good care of Min'er, I..."
As he said this, Lin Ruhai slowly flowed out a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with stars! Everyone was immediately startled!
Daiyu on the side had already burst into tears. When she saw this, she cried loudly and threw herself into Lin Ruhai's arms. She hugged Lin Ruhai: "Dad! You have to pay attention to your health!"
Lin Ruhai was originally struck by emotions, but Daiyu finally came back to her senses after shouting like this!
Jia Zheng and others were so frightened that they hurriedly summoned the imperial doctor. Fortunately, Lin Ruhai calmed down at this time. He calmed down slightly and said to Jia Zheng and others: "No need, I know my own body, it's just a temporary emotion."
Excited, nothing serious."
Before she finished speaking, Jia Mu said seriously: "How can this be done! How can it be a trivial matter when I vomited blood just now? You know better... If you really knew better, you wouldn't have done this to yourself. Got it!"
As she spoke, Jia Mu choked up again. She and Xian Rongguo were really very satisfied with this son-in-law at the beginning. This son-in-law was also up to par, good in all aspects, and could be called a young hero. But now, in just a few short years, Ten years have passed, and the young hero has become like this! How can I make Jia Mu not feel heartbroken?
Seeing that everyone was about to cry again, Wang Xifeng, Jia Zheng and others quickly advised them to stand outside and show others what they were doing or go in and say anything they had to say!
So everyone entered the Rongqing Hall first. Jia Mu could not bear it mentally anymore, so she hurriedly sat down and ordered someone to show Lin Ruhai her seat.
However, Lin Ruhai was still very sad. She did not sit down but said to Jia Mu with guilt: "I am ashamed of my father-in-law's teachings and my mother-in-law's kindness. I was rescued by my family. I just managed to survive. Now I can see my family again. I feel a lot of guilt, but even death is not enough to repay the misfortune..."
After saying that, she knelt down and kowtowed again. Mother Jia waved her hands and said, "What do you mean by death? No one is allowed to mention death today! You all live well for me!"
Lin Ruhai pursed her lips tightly when she heard this. Mother Jia waved her hand to Daiyu and said, "Hurry and help your father get up." Daiyu hurriedly helped Lin Ruhai get up after hearing this.
Jia Mu waved her hand and said, "I'm getting older, and I'd like to see you all doing well, but I can't stand it anymore. Don't mention it again, don't mention it again!"
In this way, Lin Ruhai did not dare to mention Jia Min again. Everyone was relieved, but the atmosphere was still a bit dull. Wang Xifeng had no choice but to take the initiative to adjust the atmosphere, smiled and said a few wisecracks before pulling it back, but it was also I dare not go too far. After all, I just talked about Jia Min. It is really inappropriate to joke again...
Daiyu also knew what Sister Feng meant, and she didn't want everyone to be so stiff when they first met, so she took the initiative to make peace with Sister Feng, which made the atmosphere lively again.
Wang Xifeng smiled and said to Daiyu: "Sister Lin is so proud now! Your grandmother is doting on you here, and your uncle is doting on you there. With such blessings, you will become a fairy daughter in the sky!"
】
Lin Ruhai looked at Daiyu with a smile after hearing this. Daiyu's face turned red, and then she replied to Sister Feng without showing any signs of weakness: "You are the one who was spoiled, but now you are criticizing me, my ancestors are not the same." Is it bad for you?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Xifeng laughed loudly: "Look, now we are getting more and more reluctant to give up any ground! If I take credit for my uncle's ability, he will definitely be appointed as the prime minister." , will we be able to pay it off then? More and more, people like us can no longer even see the prime minister’s noble daughter!"
Daiyu spat at her but was speechless, her face turned red, and Wang Xifeng smiled again and said: "Is it possible that she is becoming more and more ladylike again? She doesn't want to talk to people like us anymore!"
Everyone laughed in agreement when they heard this, but their hearts were moved. Jia Mu smiled and said to Wang Xifeng: "Your Uncle Lin is still here, how dare you bully your Sister Lin! I just don't want to pay attention to your behavior. Burning lake rolls is the right thing to do!"
When Wang Xifeng saw that Lin Ruhai was just smiling and still not expressing her position, she added another fire and said with a smile: "I was thinking that people often say that the prime minister's belly can hold a boat, so I felt bolder!"
After saying that, he gave Lin Ruhai a generous blessing and said: "Uncle Lin, don't mind, our sisters used to play around like this, but we don't mean any disrespect. You don't remember the villain's fault!"
Lin Ruhai glanced at Wang Xifeng, just nodded with a smile and said: "Since Yu'er can have sisters like you to accompany her when she grows up, she won't be lonely after all. Speaking of which, I should thank you. I can't say that she is an expert."
People, it’s better to be more lively.”
Wang Xifeng's face turned red after what she said, but it wasn't Lin Ruhai who tried to flatter her with her words. How could a person like Lin Ruhai really be as knowledgeable as a little girl?
Furthermore, Lin Ruhai now feels very guilty towards the Jia family, so naturally he will not be angry with the Jia family...
The reason why Wang Xifeng really blushed was Lin Ruhai's eyes! What a shrewd look in her eyes at that time, always shining with the light of wisdom, calm and calm, always with a pearl of wisdom in hand, calm and confident that the overall situation has been decided!
This is what you call a man! This is what you call a good man!
Women's nature is to be strong, so every Jia family woman here admires Lin Ruhai! Especially Wang Xifeng, who is strong on the outside and weak on the inside, when Lin Ruhai looks at her, it's like Jia Jing's eyes!
It seemed like he could see through her little thoughts at a glance! Although Lin Ruhai didn't say anything, Wang Xifeng still knew from Lin Ruhai's eyes that Lin Ruhai had already seen through her tentative words!
I am like a child in front of others! Not only can I be seen clearly! I also have to be willing to be manipulated by others!
Wang Xifeng has always been a strong person, even compared to the men of the Jia family, she is not convinced, but first she was like this in front of Jia Jing, and now she feels the same sense of oppression in front of Lin Ruhai! She smiled bitterly in her heart, but she was too careful not to dare.
Words!
Jia Mu, on the other hand, did not go around so much and said directly to Lin Ruhai: "Speaking of this, Ruhai, what did you say about your affairs? Did the emperor say what official position you will hold when you come back?"
Everyone secretly raised their ears when they heard this. This matter can be said to be the most concerned matter of the Jia family, including the Xue family on one side! Even the Jia family sisters could not help but be held breathless by this atmosphere.
Listen.
Lin Ruhai just smiled when he heard this and said: "Thunder and rain are all due to your kindness. Your Majesty did not say it clearly, but no matter what your position is, you just have to do your best."
Everyone nodded secretly, but Jia She smiled and said: "In short, it's okay for officials to be young! Ruhai, you almost lost half your life for their Lao Li family! You managed to escape from death, and they
Can I really treat you badly?"
Lin Ruhai just smiled and did not answer when he heard this, but Jia Mu glared at her son fiercely when she heard this! Jia She shrank his neck and did not dare to speak.
In fact, other people also know this truth, not to mention that they have all seen Lin Ruhai's style. Those old prime ministers in the history books are just like this!
Everyone was chatting for a while, but Lin Ruhai didn't want to say more about this matter. Everyone just knew what was interesting and stopped talking. As they chatted, the topic came back to Jia Min. After all, the key to the knot between everyone here was,
It's actually Jia Min.
It's just that this time, Jia Mu and Lin Ruhai's emotions are almost under control. Although they still don't hide their sadness, after all, they are so old, and they have sent away many relatives and friends, and they are all worried about Dan's life and death.
Time will smooth everything out, but the sadness of losing a loved one is hidden in the unintentional little things in life, like needles hidden in cotton, but when we talk about it on weekdays, we can still speak calmly.
Yes, it's just treating the dead as if they were alive.
Jia's mother sighed and said to Lin Ruhai: "Min'er's poor fortune is not your fault. To be honest, our Jia family is sorry for you. You are the only one in the Lin family now. If you have three advantages and two disadvantages,
………”
Hearing this, Lin Ruhai hurriedly said to Jia Mu: "It would be great if Yu'er is here. There is absolutely nothing my mother-in-law can say about being sorry for me!"
Jia Mu glanced at Daiyu and said, "Yu'er is very good, but after all, you have to..."
Jia's mother knew that Daiyu was stingy, so she said to Daiyu: "You must know how much grandma loves you, but the truth of the matter is that you have always been a sensible child, so you should know what I mean."
Daiyu nodded silently, of course she knew that in the final analysis, she would get married eventually. Even now, she actually prefers the Jia family, to be precise, Jia Jing of the Jia family...
…
So if the Lin family falls into her hands, it just falls into the hands of Jia Jing. What about the lintel of the Lin family? How noble are the fifth generation princes? Just like this? Even if Daiyu feels uncomfortable, she can't bear it!
Everyone was silent for a while, and Jia Mu sighed: "So what I mean is, if you get a good one, you can just continue your career. Min'er won't blame you, and we won't blame you either!"
Lin Ruhai was silent after hearing this, then raised his head and smiled firmly at Jia Mu: "I know what the old lady means, but...the clothes are not as good as new, and the people are not as good as before. It is difficult to force this matter. With Yu'er around, I don't either
It’s a good idea to have this feeling for the rest of your life.”
Mother Jia slowly shook her head and said: "That's true, but there is no reason why our Jia family should tie you up. If you are not the only child, you can just give up. But you are the only child in the family, how can you do this?"
"As a grown man, you will need someone to take care of your daily life in the future. Even for Yu'er, it would be good to have a mother to educate her. You have such a big business and you also need someone to take care of it."
In these words, Jia Mu had no selfish motives at all, she was completely thinking about Lin Ruhai!
So Lin Ruhai couldn't help but be a little moved, but still smiled and said: "That's it, where can it be so easy to find in such a short time? Let's forget it, I don't have such thoughts anymore."
Mother Jia opened her mouth, but still did not persuade her. Everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and maybe even cursed the old lady Hutu in their hearts!
Although many people in the Jia family were moved by Lin Ruhai's deep affection, they could all feel this emotion!
Especially the women of the Jia family, all had a very good impression of Lin Ruhai at this time! Even Mrs. Wang had no idea about Lin Ruhai, and even lamented, how could Jia Min, a short-lived ghost, find such a husband!
But if you are moved, you should not forget the serious things! If Lin Ruhai is married, will he still be the uncle of the Jia family?
Leaving such a prime minister's uncle, instead of saying that he has been tied up, he is going to be given away? Isn't this what Lao Hu has done?
But no one dares to interrupt casually in this matter!
In fact, even if the Jia family blocked it, they couldn't stop Lin Ruhai if he wanted to succeed!
