dream of red mansion

Besides, are there really all-rounders in this world?Jia Qing didn't believe it.

Lin Ruhai didn't say anything about Jia Qing's doubts, but said: "Some people are indeed born different from others. For example, you, ten years ago, who would have believed that there would be such an anomaly in the world?"

Lin Ruhai originally wanted to say "monster", but when he changed the word, he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

"You don't need to doubt my words, just remember that a person who can make the former Prince Yizhong rely on him, and let him be released because of his love for talent, is definitely not a person who deceives the world and steals his name.

Back then, even the Supreme Emperor said that "his talent is better than wind music", which is evident from this.

It's just that he has been living behind the scenes of the Prince's Mansion, and the world doesn't know him well. "

Well, Jia Qing nodded silently, believing Lin Ruhai's words for the time being.

If there is a chance, I want to see if he is really as evil as others say.

Is he really all-rounder in civil and military affairs?

A few sentences of classical Chinese were quoted without explanation, so as not to be said to make up the number of words... In fact, if you don't understand the meaning, it will not affect your reading. Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder can look it up by themselves.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Aunt Zhong went back first, and Lin Ruhai and Jia Qing entered Ningguo Mansion together.

Chen Shou is still waiting in the mansion.

Because Chen Shou and Lin Ruhai wanted to reminisce about the old days, Jia Qing arranged for them to drink tea in the small garden near Ning'an Hall and serve them personally.

It can be seen that the friendship between the two is very deep, and Chen Shou's words are very respectful to Lin Ruhai.

Jia Qing was thinking, if this Chen Shouzhen is as amazingly talented as Lin Ruhai said, then he must be quite arrogant.Even if the two are friends and Lin Ruhai is a high-ranking official, at least the two of them should talk about each other on an equal footing.

Looking at the current situation, there is only one reasonable explanation, and that is: Lin Ruhai is kind to Chen Shou!

The ancients valued righteousness, if this is the case, it makes sense.

Thinking of this, just in time to see Lin Ruhai asking about Chen Shou's itinerary, he interrupted and said, "I heard that the Taoist priest has great talent, and now my adoptive father has obeyed the holy order to enter the capital, and he will be involved in the quagmire of the capital. Taoist priest Since you are worthy of my adoptive father and brother, why not stay in the capital for a while, and if there is anything unresolved about my adoptive father, you can ask the Taoist priest for advice..."

Chen Shou frowned.

Lin Ruhai knew Chen Shou's personality well, and even guessed Jia Qing's abacus, so he smiled and said before Chen Shou could speak:

"You don't need to care about the childish words, I know that the elder has long since given up on worldly affairs and devoted himself to the Tao. Besides, we are mundane people, where can we have less disputes about right and wrong? If we always hope that others will help us, how can we live in this world?" A foothold between dunya?

Boss don't have to be in trouble, if it's because of me that he ruins his practice, isn't it my fault? "

Chen Shoudao: "Thank you, Brother Ruhai, for your righteousness. Having said that, I also have a message to give to Brother Ruhai."

"please say."

"When Brother Ruhai was helping me just now, I had quietly felt my pulse, the condition of my body..."

Lin Ruhai smiled: "Boss, you may as well speak up if you have something to say."

Chen Shoudao: "My brother is proficient in medical principles. My body has been plagued by chronic diseases for many years, and new injuries have triggered it. Brother is recuperating, there is still a period of recovery, if not..."

Jia Qing was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Father..."

Lin Ruhai gave Jia Qing a calm look, and then said to Chen Shou: "Don't worry, Boss, I know my body well. Lin, who eats the king's salary, should be loyal to the king. Besides, my generation of scholars is still alive. You should do something, if you are doing nothing, mediocrity, even if you live another ten years, what good will it be?"

Chen Shou was silent for a while, and said with regret: "Since this is the case, I hope Brother Ruhai will cherish himself even more in the future."

He understood Lin Ruhai's perseverance in his heart, and he once had such a belief.

Jia Qing stood aside, Lin Ruhai stopped her when she wanted to speak a few times, thought for a while, and then stopped.

Lin Ruhai must be aware of his own physical condition.Since he went to Beijing, it meant that he had already made a decision and choice in his heart.

At this moment, Qin Keqing walked over with a maid, and he took two steps forward and said, "What are you doing here?"

Qin Keqing glanced at Lin Ruhai and the two from a distance, and then replied, "I heard that Master Lin has come to the house. In such a cold day, my mother-in-law is afraid that you will not take good care of me, so she asked me to bring some ginseng tea."

"You are bothered."

Jia Qing took the saucer from the servant girl's hand and said, "You go back first, I'll come to see you later..."

If it's just Lin Ruhai, he can get Qin Keqing to recognize him, but it's unnecessary now.

Qin Keqing was overjoyed, her eyes dimmed, and said with a blessing: "The concubine will retire first."

"Well, let's go." Jia Qing turned around and came back, and said to Lin Ruhai, "I'll make a bowl of ginseng tea for my adoptive father and Daoist... Daoist Chen, what are you looking at?"

Jia Qing frowned.

Chen Shou, an old and unrefined person, actually looked at the direction Qin Keqing was leaving without turning his eyes.

Sven scum!

Chen Shou withdrew his gaze fiercely, squinted his eyes, shook his head and said: "It's nothing...Pindao suddenly remembered that there is something unfinished in Beijing. Brother Ruhai, Jia Linlang, let me leave first."

Before he finished speaking, he stood up and was about to walk away.

Although Lin Ruhai was a little confused, he also saw that there must be something really wrong with him, so he didn't try to persuade Jia Qing to send Chen Shou out.

"Chen Daoist, please."

Jia Qing got up to see him off, Chen Shou kept walking, and quickly walked out of the Yimen Gate, and stopped suddenly when he reached the hall, saying: "Dare to ask..."

"Second Master, Second Master, it's not good, Jiao Da..."

"what happened?"

"Jiao Da, he ate too much wine last night and passed out drunk in the stable. When he was found just now, he was already exhausted..."

Jia Qing was taken aback.Jia Qing had long thought of transferring Jiao Da to Zhuangzi Shangqing to raise him. He is an old man in his 80s, who loves to drink and has a bad temper, so it is easy to cause trouble if he stays in the mansion.It's just that he insisted on not wanting to, so Jia Qing had no choice but to order the person in charge not to arrange errands for him. He likes to brush horses, so let him stay in Nanyuan.

In the past two years, he almost forgot about this person.

"Did you invite the doctor?"

"This...is going to invite..."

Jia Qing pondered for a while, and said to Chen Shou: "It's an old servant in my family, I have to go and see, please forgive me if I'm disrespectful. Butler Lu, take Chen Daochang out for me."

People at this age may die if they say they die.After all, he is a person who has dedicated his whole life to the Ningguo Mansion. From the ancestors of the Jia family to him, he can be described as four generations of loyal servants. Jia Qing feels that it is necessary to see him for the last time.

"Jia Linlang doesn't need to be too polite..."

Jia Qing cupped his hands in thanks, and then stepped down the steps.
