Chapter 105 Jia Shi's Worries

After Uncle Lin left, Chen Heng didn't stay in the study for long. When Sister Lin found out "Thirteen Chapters of Chess Classic", the two left one after another.

It was late at night, Xueyan walked ahead with a lantern, Chen Heng and Sister Lin were two steps behind.

The three of them were not walking fast, their steps were leisurely, but the topic of conversation was the family's short-sightedness.

Sometimes it is Chen Heng who speaks and Daiyu listens.Sometimes it will be changed again, and the two of them have a strong conversation.

Daiyu also took the opportunity to explain her father's glass of wine to her elder brother.

Only then did Chen Heng understand Uncle Lin's intentions, half curious, half wanting to laugh: "You are so clear about this matter, did you drink it secretly?"

Lin Daiyu didn't expect her elder brother to guess right at once, so she couldn't help but pause, before carefully stretching out a finger, "Just once, quietly drinking once."

If you drink secretly, you drink secretly, and deliberately changed it to quietly.Chen Heng smiled and shook his head, not trying to break through his sister's little thoughts.

Seeing her elder brother's posture, Lin Daiyu blinked, pursed her lips and snickered.

"What are you laughing at, sister?" Chen Heng was very surprised.

"Whatever the elder brother laughs, the younger sister will laugh at whatever." Lin Daiyu started thinking about it, but she didn't want him to bother with girls, so she turned the topic to Chen Heng's family affairs.

There was nothing wrong with this, so Chen Heng told his father about his second uncle's shop.

Chen Qi's craftsmanship is good, and Chen Huaijin has a mouth for dealing with people.Both of them are doing what they like. The business is not very good, but they are slowly gaining a foothold in Yangzhou City.

Lin Daiyu seemed to like hearing these things very much, she couldn't stop nodding and said, "That's great."

"What's so good about it?" Chen Heng asked her intentionally.

"Fortunately, the family is happy and happy, and the days are getting better and better." Lin Daiyu clapped her hands and smiled, and Chen Heng also laughed. He felt that what his sister said was very good, and the life of their family was getting better and better.

She asked again, "So, Big Sister is about to reach Ji?"

The verandah is very spacious, but as the two grow up, the space available for them to walk side by side is decreasing.Perhaps it was getting closer, when suddenly a gust of evening wind blew, and the elegant fragrance lingered on the tip of the nose.

Chen Heng nodded subtly, looked at Daiyu who was getting taller, and sighed, "Yes." He showed a little distress, "I don't know what gift to give my sister."

Chen Qing's birthday is on the fifth day of October, which is her No.15 birthday.No matter which girl, this is the most important day.After all, after fifteen years, you have reached the age where you can marry.

Sister Lin saw Chen Heng's distress, chuckled lightly, and said, "Don't worry, brother, after all, there are still some days left."

"Well, when the year's exam is held, the academy is closed, so I'll go around the streets again."

"Uncle and aunt, how are you going to handle this matter?"

"They didn't know anyone when they first came to Yangzhou, so they should have a meal with their own family."

Chen Heng shook his head, he didn't know much about this custom.

Lin Daiyu blinked, and suddenly noticed two overlapping shadows on the white wall.

As soon as she looked up, she saw the crescent moon hanging on the rockery.

They had just turned a corner before the shadow ran from behind to the front.

Seeing that she suddenly fell silent, Chen Heng couldn't help asking, "What is my sister looking at?"

"Watch the ants move." Sister Lin answered in a muffled voice on purpose.

Chen Heng showed a strange look on his face, seeing ants in the middle of the night?Who are you fooling?

"Miss, we are here." Xueyan suddenly said, and the two turned their eyes, only to realize that there was a brightly lit lobby in front of them.

Inside, Mrs. Jia was sitting next to Lin Ruhai and talking, and the uncle didn't know what he heard, so he just smiled wryly and nodded.

Lin Jue couldn't sit still, so he waited at the door early, and ran up when he saw his brother and sister.

"Brother, why didn't you tell me about your visit today?" Lin Jue complained as soon as she saw Chen Heng.

"Your sister said you were doing your homework, so I didn't bother you." Chen Heng explained to him, and led Daiyu across the gate.

Only then did the two adults see that the children had arrived, and hurriedly pulled one away, so that the servants could hurry up and serve the food.

At the banquet, Chen Heng finally had a glass of wine with Uncle Lin.

Sitting next to Chen Heng, Lin Jue looked very strange.

I also blame him for talking too much, but he just asked the last question if he could drink.

Before Jia Shi could speak, Daiyu stared at her younger brother and began to lecture.

Lin Jue was also very aggrieved, why couldn't her elder brother drink it when it was her turn?He kept casting his eyes for help on Chen Heng and Lin Ruhai.

These two people are good, one has a dark heart and the other is blind.Head to head together, chatting from the Four Books and Five Classics to the origin of the delicacies on the table.

…………

"In a few months, Yu'er will be 11 years old."

After the two children had settled down for a rest, Jia Shi sat in front of the vanity mirror, took off the beads on her hair, and said to Lin Ruhai who was reading a book.

It was already the dead of night, Lin Ruhai heard his wife's voice, put down the book, walked behind Jia Shi, and helped her remove makeup together.

"If there is something on your mind, madam, why don't you tell me."

Pretending to be understanding and pretending to be confused, Jia muttered something in his heart, turned half of his body, and stared at him, "You father, don't say you can't see what Yu'er is thinking."

Lin Ruhai laughed, and without moving his hands, he only comforted in a soft voice: "Yu'er is still young, wait a few more years, maybe her mind will change."

"She has been smarter than her peers since she was a child, so don't keep treating her like a child." Jia Shi shook her head, put one hand on the table, rested her chin and thought for a long time, then she asked, "You How do you feel about Heng Er?"

This question is not easy to answer, Lin Ruhai's thoughts turned quickly, and he coughed lightly, "Ma'am, what do you think of him?"

"Temperature, appearance, character, everything is good." Jia Shi had only finished speaking, and Lin Ruhai had already added for her: "The talents are also very good."

Jia Shi glared at him again, looked at her husband's smirk-like smile, and said weakly, "I told you three to get together."

"Husband and wife are of the same heart, husband and wife are of the same heart." How could Lin Ruhai dare to answer such words, he still wants to sleep well tonight.

"It's just that Heng'er's family background is a bit worse after all." Jia shook her head helplessly, and it wasn't because she was deliberately picky.

Jia Shi has been regarded as the apple of the eye by her parents since she was a child. She is the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, both the only daughter and the youngest daughter.Not to mention being loved by thousands of people, that is also seeing a real rich life.

She only has one daughter, Daiyu, so naturally she doesn't want her to have a hard life in the future.

There are many people with real talents and real learning.If the family background is good, it is also a crucian carp crossing the river.

It is not an exaggeration to say that with Yu'er's character, talent and learning, it is more than enough to match a prince's son in the future.

Who is Lin Ruhai? He knows the essence of the art of war, the principle that when the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy is strong, we avoid.He didn't respond directly to Jia Shi's words, and only muddied the situation.

"Then according to Madam, what kind of person should Heng'er marry in the future?"

"I'm not Heng'er's elder, how can I discuss his marriage." Jia Shi smiled, but still thought about it.This time, she thought about it longer, and finally said helplessly.

"It's fine if he doesn't have high school. If he really can go to high school, if I am his elder, let alone an ordinary lady from an official family, even the daughter of a wealthy family, I have to ask for a second marriage for him."

Lin Ruhai smiled, knowing that he didn't need to say much.He only comforted her, "Yu'er has her own blessings, since you know this child is smart, you should also understand that smart people have their own ideas."

Jia Shi also had no choice but to sigh and nod, only holding on to the idea of ​​taking one step at a time.After all, Yu'er is still young, and now there is a lot of room for maneuver.These days, choosing a son-in-law is not a matter of few words.

Generally, after the daughter is 11 years old, she will start to inquire secretly.

First find a few good ones, and then inquire about the inside story of the other party's family background to see if the man's house is peaceful and a well-behaved family.

After waiting for a year and a half, we get to know about the same thing. Everyone really knows the basics, and it's when they arrive at Jiji that they arrange a coincidence for the man and woman to meet each other.

It is said that it is a blind marriage, but in fact, the parents have inquired about each other's details long before their daughter is married.

A daughter who was raised innocently cannot be allowed to marry into a bad place.

"Husband, there is one more matter that I need to discuss with you." Jia Shi suddenly said.

Lin Ruhai held his wife's hand, and while the two were walking towards the bed, he asked, "What does Madam want to say?"

"Next year, Yu'er should learn how to be a housekeeper. I think she doesn't have to go to the school." Sitting on the bedside, Jia helped Lin Ruhai take off her coat, and advised, "She is going to marry after all. Being a wife and a mother. It's not good to be ignorant all the time, only knowing poetry, calligraphy and painting, no husband-in-law would spoil her like this."

Lin Ruhai rarely frowned, but when he thought that this was a process every girl had to go through, he could only sigh helplessly.Doesn't Jia, the daughter of a thousand gold, live the life of a husband and a child after marrying him?

"Tell her after the new year."

　Hahahaha, there are two good news, brothers, our collection has exceeded [-], and the number of investors has also exceeded [-].Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
