Although the night in the capital is not as good as the Qinhuai River in the south of the Yangtze River, it is still very lively.
Lin Ruhai, who was sitting in the sedan chair, had very complicated eyes. She once remembered that when she was riding a horse on the streets, she could see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day. There were beauties there that day, and one glance would last ten thousand years.
Time flies and changes occur. Unexpectedly, when he sets foot on this land again, it will be more than ten years ago. When he looks back, he finds that he is already old.
Listening to the noisy streets outside, he opened the sedan curtain from time to time and looked outside, feeling the fireworks in the capital that were different from those in Yangzhou.
Not long after, Lin Ruhai felt that as soon as the sedan stopped, she heard someone on the side say: "Master, we are here!!"
Lin Ruhai came out of the sedan chair and looked at the imperial Rongguo Mansion hanging in front of him, as well as the two stone lions in front of the door. A feeling suddenly arose in his heart. How long can such wealth last?
At this moment, he heard a voice coming over.
"Ruhai! It's been a hard journey, but I want to die as a brother. Come in with me quickly, the old lady is waiting to see you too!!"
As soon as Lin Ruhai looked up, he saw Jia Zheng walking out of the middle door on one side with a smile on his face. Seeing this uncle, Lin Ruhai had a faint smile on his face. If anyone has a good impression, it is only Jia Zheng.
He couldn't control what Jia's family had done before, and he didn't want to control it, but as of now, it was indeed going downhill! This is not only the case with Jia's family, but also with most other nobles in the capital, but the decline is not as fast as that of Jia's family.
His elder brother-in-law, Jia She, was given the nickname Enhou. Speaking of which, the emperor gave him this name! It's a pity that what happened back then completely destroyed his morale, and he became a sensual and sensual person who only knew how to indulge in beauty.
As for the Dongfu side, it was even worse. Originally, the road to abandoning martial arts and becoming Wen had to be taken out. Unfortunately, he was involved in that incident. The only Jinshi master in the Jia family had to go up the mountain to become a Taoist priest. He would not dare to go back. at home.
And the current head of the Jia family, Jia Zhen, is an even more unreliable person than Jia She. If this brother-in-law, that concubine, and the maid are caught by him, no one can escape. He was ruined by him and got a very bad reputation.
The Jia family, a family with two families, turned out to be like this when it came here. That is to say, it still had the support of the ancestors, so it did not decline directly.
But talking about Dongfu reminded him of a person, the boy who appeared in Yangzhou and helped him uproot the salt merchants in Yangzhou and help him get out of the quagmire. He remembered what the other person said personally. However, he is a branch descendant of Ningguo Gongfu.
When he thought of Jia Qi, he couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart, "Maybe the prince of the country has a spirit in heaven, so that such a brother comes out of the clan to save the Jia family!"
Lin Ruhai, who still doesn't know Jia Qi's situation, naturally thinks so. Maybe he never imagined that the actual situation is not the same at all.
The memorial tablet of Jia Qi’s cheap father is not even placed in Jia’s ancestral hall! It is difficult to say that the ancestors have spirits.
Although he thought of a lot of things, it only happened in his mind for a moment. When he saw Jia Zheng approaching, he quickly bowed, "Brother! Why bother you to come out in person!!"
In fact, Jia Zheng shouldn't have come, but he has always loved poems, books and classics, and he has a favorable eye for scholars. Lin Ruhai is a prostitute, so he has nothing to say about the article. In addition, the old lady is urging him urgently, so he and himself This brother-in-law had not been seen for many years, so he made an exception and came out to greet him.
When he saw Lin Ruhai coming over, he laughed, stretched out his hand and took Lin Ruhai's arm and walked into the courtyard, "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? Come with me quickly, the old lady and Daiyu are waiting for you!! "
Seeing how affectionate his uncle was, Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly, shook his head, and walked closer with Jia Zheng.
The two of them were talking and laughing along the way. Lin Ruhai's skill in human relations was not comparable to that of Jia Zheng, a dabbler. A few words made Jia Zheng elated and felt ashamed.
Not long after, the two of them walked around the corridor, walked a while, entered the west courtyard from the corridor, walked through the hanging flower door, and came to the inner hall where Jia Mu was.
Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai were chatting and laughing along the way. Many of the maids and women in the yard had never seen Lin Ruhai. When they first saw such a calm, elegant, elegant and handsome old man, they felt strange in their hearts! Who is this person? The temperament he exudes all over his body is quite inferior to Master Zheng standing next to him!
When he came to the door, Jia Zheng ordered the maid to open the door curtain and went in with Lin Ruhai.
"Mother!! Look who's coming!!"
Lin Ruhai smiled awkwardly, quickly straightened up her appearance, and paid homage to Jia Mu.
"My son-in-law pays homage to my mother-in-law, and I wish you happiness and longevity. During this period, Yu'er relies entirely on my mother-in-law's care. My son-in-law is extremely grateful!"
When Mother Jia saw Lin Ruhai's appearance, a trace of tears appeared in the corners of her eyes. She missed her. When Lin Ruhai left, Jia Min was also there. Now that they meet again, there is only one left.
Seeing that Lin Ruhai's beard was half white, he felt a little panicked. He was not as big as Jia Zheng! This hair is all white.
"It's good if you come!! It's good if you come!! Ruhai!! Get up!! Get up!! You've worked hard these years, but Min'er and you have only a short relationship, and we can't support each other until we grow old. You should also take care of yourself Take care of yourself, Yu'er is still young, but she's still waiting for you to see her get married!"
As she said that, she asked Jia Zheng to help Lin Ruhai up quickly, but her eyes were red. As people get older, they always like to see things and miss people.
Daiyu on the side saw her father again, but she couldn't help it. Her nose was sore and her tears fell down.
"Daddy~~"
After saying that, he rushed towards Lin Ruhai. When Lin Ruhai saw his daughter, he felt longing for her. He couldn't help himself, he reached out and touched Daiyu's little head, and called softly: "Yu'er! Daddy didn’t break his promise! It’s coming soon!”
Hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Daiyu cried even harder. Everyone on the side had their eyes turned red when they saw this scene.
Wang Xifeng, who was beside Jia Mu, secretly looked at Lin Ruhai and thought to herself, no wonder this girl of hers has such charm! It seems to be related to this uncle!
But naturally she couldn't let the crying continue, and then she smiled and said: "Good sister, my uncle is here, that is a happy thing! You must not cry, I don't know I thought my ancestors didn’t care for you, but back then, my granddaughter-in-law almost drooled with greed!"
Hearing this, everyone smiled heartily, and Daiyu slowly stopped crying. Jia's mother loved her after all, but she couldn't let her father misunderstand her.
Others also took the opportunity to comfort her, and Daiyu slowly recovered. Seeing her daughter like this, Lin Ruhai glanced at Wang Xifeng, who claimed to be her granddaughter-in-law, and secretly thought that this girl was not simple.
Jia Mu's mood gradually calmed down. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then said to Jia Zheng: "Zheng'er, you take Ru Hai to the front hall to have a meal first. I'll be with you guys later." You guys still have something to say!"
When Jia Zheng heard this, he bowed to accept the order and took Lin Ruhai to the front hall...
