"My nephew plans to become a concubine in the future and come to propose marriage to my uncle!"
Seeking marriage?
Lin Ruhai's first reaction to Jia Cong's blurted words was that it was ridiculous, but then he fell into a strange silence.
My family is aware of my family affairs. My mother-in-law has written to me many times before, expressing my intention to get married again, both covertly and openly. Of course, you don't have to guess what the old lady is thinking, she just wants to make the two jade girls into a couple.
In the past, Lin Ruhai had also considered the possibility of this matter. After all, Rongguo Mansion is also the wife's natal family. It is more reliable to marry a daughter to her natal nephew than to find a stranger.
But this time after Daiyu returned to the south, Lin Ruhai was thankful for his initial hesitation after learning about the actual situation of Rongguo Mansion and Jia Baoyu from Nanny Wang.
The old lady is so unreliable, how could she raise a good child like that!
The second brother-in-law was not from a proper imperial examination background, and his future prospects were limited. After his eldest son died of illness, he originally thought that his second uncle would have a smart second son that he could count on, but he didn't expect that such a good talent would be wasted like this.
First, he was born with jade inexplicably, and then he didn't teach him properly...
Alas, without mentioning this in advance, how dare the old lady think of letting two children live together regardless of the safety of men and women?
Are you planning to put the Lin family's reputation and your daughter's reputation on the line?
Fortunately, my brother-in-law is quite reliable, and brother Cong is smart, so he didn't get into trouble.
As for issues such as keeping filial piety, which are irreversible, Yu'er's rules are indeed lacking. If Yu'er and Brother Cong were to form a couple, I guess my uncle wouldn't care about this little problem.
The most important thing is that Brother Cong is a promising child. Although he is a little young, he can see that this child has temperament, ability and opportunities.
This is a very good candidate!
His health is obviously not as good as it used to be. The poisoning this time has damaged his foundation after all. The Lin family's heirs are in trouble, and his daughter will not have many people to rely on in the future.
My eldest uncle is not as unbearable as my wife once described him to be. Instead, he is an extremely talented person. Compared with the second uncle who appears to be a gentleman, this elder uncle who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside is more reassuring.
Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai's eyes changed when she looked at Jia Cong.
What was just appreciation before, is now full of exploration and expectation.
Lin Ruhai and Jia Cong stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes. Daiyu, who was deeply red, stirred the handkerchief in her hands with both hands. The three of them just looked at each other in confusion. The atmosphere in the room was very strange.
After being stared at by Lin Ruhai for a long time, the big-hearted Jia Cong couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He intertwined the fingers of his hands and twisted them around, trying to hide his anxiety and embarrassment: "Well, uncle, I...I was just joking..."
"How dare you make fun of my daughter?"
Lin Ruhai's tone was obviously unhappy, and the scrutiny in his eyes became heavier. The thin fingers tapped on the table, and the dull tapping sound was like a hammer hitting Jia Cong's heart.
Thump thump thump…
Jia Cong felt that his heart was about to beat out of his chest, and Daiyu beside her was also nervously trying to say something to Jia Cong.
"Dad, Brother Cong doesn't mean that..."
"No, that's what my nephew means. My nephew wants to be like my uncle. I want to do a roll call outside the Donghua Gate and become a prostitute to propose marriage to my uncle - marry Sister Lin and go home!"
Jia Cong almost closed his eyes and poured out these words. Of course, it is far-fetched to say that he has any love between men and women for Daiyu, but it is very sincere to say that he married Daiyu and went home.
Traveling through the world of Red Mansions, wouldn’t it be in vain if I didn’t marry Sister Lin home?
Moreover, in the past three years, Jia Cong and Daiyu have had a very good relationship, and they can be said to be serious childhood sweethearts.
Rather than letting his childhood sweetheart die in tears, it would be better for him to marry him home and hold her in his hands and protect her. Second Brother Bao should just play around with his maids. At worst, he will help Second Brother Bao find more flowers and plants to make up for it...
No, Sister Lin is not Brother Bao's, so why should he compensate her?
Uncle, as long as you marry Sister Lin to me, how about I become your son?
Jia Cong waited for a long time without waiting for Lin Ruhai's response, so he secretly opened his eyes a crack, just in time to see Lin Ruhai staring at him with a strange expression.
"Ahem...Uncle, what I said is true!"
"I know what you said is true!"
Lin Ruhai's expression suddenly softened, and she reached out and touched Jia Cong's head. He pulled his daughter next to Jia Cong, looked around and felt that they were indeed a good match.
"If you want to marry your sister Lin, then you have to work hard. This is what I said myself. The roll call outside Donghua Gate and the most beautiful man who passed the exam came to propose marriage to me..."
Daiyu's whole body was now so familiar that she felt her whole body was getting hot and she stamped her feet in embarrassment.
"Dad, why are you following Brother Cong's nonsense..."
Lin Ruhai looked at her shy daughter, then at the chubby Jia Cong who was blushing but full of solemnity, pinched Jia Cong's chubby face, and touched Daiyu's little head, feeling very happy in her heart.
Unexpectedly, today's unintentional joke actually found a reliable future for his daughter. It seems that he needs to find his uncle to discuss the engagement.
Lin Ruhai laughed heartily, as if some of his pain had gone away.
He pulled the two children together, touched one, squeezed the other, and said with satisfaction: "The food is almost cold. Come, you can eat with me!"
Jia Cong grinned: "Okay uncle...Daddy, my son will accompany you to dinner!"
Daiyu covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Brother Cong..."
Lin Ruhai looked surprised and asked with a bright light in his eyes: "What did you call me?"
Jia Cong chuckled, hugged Lin Ruhai's arm and helped him sit down: "My son calls you daddy!"
Lin Ruhai's laughter became even more hearty now, and she rubbed Jia Cong's head back and forth with her big hands: "Good boy, good boy, scream again!"
Jia Cong immediately shouted sweetly: "Daddy!"
"Hey! Okay, scream again!"
"Dad! My son is dining with his father!"
"Hahahaha, good boy, be good..."
…
Daiyu chased Jia Cong outside the house for several times, and finally grabbed Jia Cong's ears and taught him a lesson.
Jia She in the room looked at his brother-in-law with a happy face strangely, feeling sour in his heart.
"Ruhai, that is to say, in just one morning, my son became your son?"
Lin Ruhai laughed loudly and raised the tea cup in his hand to salute: "What are you talking about, brother Cong? Brother Cong promised to take the exam and beg Tanhualang to ask for Yu'er from me. Can I still stop him?" ? Anyway, sooner or later you have to call me daddy. It’s not impossible to call me a few years earlier. Uncle, do you think this is true? "
What you said does make sense, but the great son I worked so hard to raise was kidnapped by you. Master Pardon is so sad!
But looking at his niece holding his son's ears and teaching him a lesson, Jia She felt less sour. His son was able to cook cabbage at such a young age, and Jia She felt an inexplicable sense of pride.
He is worthy of being my biological son, Jia She!
