Chapter 147 The Meeting between Chen Heng and the Jia Mansion (10.1115)

Even though it was only half a step away, Daiyu happily jumped to Chen Heng's table. After opening the food box, it was indeed Chen Heng's favorite salty food.The two took out the cakes together, and sister Lin struggled to pour tea for her brother.

The stove in the house has just added charcoal to the servants, and the air is a bit warm.Daiyu simply took off her cloak and handed it to Xueyan who was following beside her.Seeing her brother eating happily, she was naturally very happy.

Just watching people eat is a bit boring. The little girl turned her eyes around and quickly noticed what Chen Heng had just finished writing.She was a little curious about what her father had taught her elder brother, and Daiyu was a studious person, so she asked curiously, "Elder brother, can I read it?"

Just like Lin Ruhai worried about Chen Heng, when Chen Heng heard this, he was also a little worried that the content on the paper would have a bad influence on his sister.

But looking at the hope in Daiyu's eyes, Chen Heng finally couldn't bear it and said: "You wait until I finish eating, and I will tell you personally, okay?"

"Okay." Lin Daiyu agreed happily.

In the past few days, whenever Jia's wife came to visit, he would bring her with him.Listening to these adults, chatting about the internal affairs of each government.Even Lin Daiyu, who has a good temper, also had rebellious thoughts.

While waiting, she told her elder brother about her troubles one by one.There is both hope and anxiety in my heart.I am afraid that my elder brother will think she is a weird person, and I also feel that my elder brother is a person, so I definitely don't think so.

Nowadays, people always hope that women will behave themselves.But she obviously does not lag behind others in reading, so why does she have to be a person who follows the rules?

While eating, Chen Heng patiently faced the audience.He also felt a little emotional in his heart, everyone has troubles at every stage.Although he solved the danger of the Lin family's family being ruined, but under Jia's control, what should Lin Daiyu do with her new troubles?

After Daiyu finished complaining, she looked at Chen Heng timidly, and said directly: "If you don't like it, just listen less in the future."

As soon as her elder brother finished speaking, Daiyu's face showed joy, and she knew that Chen Heng must help her speak.

Chen Heng knew what he said was reckless. In ancient times, which man could accept that his future wife was not at home to care for her husband and raise her children.

It's just that sister Lin's nature is such that she doesn't like to be an ordinary person who wipes out everyone.Aunt suppressed her temperament, which made it a little embarrassing.

"However, you don't have to use the matter of the back house, but you have to." Chen Hengshai laughed and teased, "Otherwise, you will go out and become the head of the house in the future, and you will be bullied by the servants, so don't go home with tears in your eyes , let us avenge you."

Daiyu's face was reddish, she was ashamed and annoyed when she heard it, and said crisply: "Brother."

"Okay, okay, I'm not kidding you." Chen Heng hurriedly raised his hand to appease his anger, and then hurriedly explained his original intention, "If you want me to say, now that my aunt wants to teach you, you can just follow her hair." .

Now man is the knife and I am the fish.It is not a good strategy to hold your temper head-on.It's better to accumulate skills and wait for the right time and place. "

Listening to her elder brother's weird example, Daiyu who listened seriously couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Chen Heng has always been a pragmatic person, so he only cast a glance at the other party, and continued: "You should perform well and strive for more opportunities for yourself. Do things in a hurry, you want to benefit today, and after a while, I will make another request .A little by little, my aunt will accept it slowly.”

The Jia family is the head of the family, even the uncle has to look at the wife's face.The opponent is so powerful, how can it be resisted.Chen Heng shook his head with a smile, "Goodness is like water, no matter how strong Auntie is, she will gradually soften her heart under your hard work."

"But remember not to confront. If you treat others as opponents, others will fight you in the same way as opponents. Take it slowly and remember the principle of using softness to overcome strength."

Chen Heng was blowing nonsense, and Lin Daiyu blinked, folded her hands under her chin, looked at her brother who was talking happily with her beautiful eyes, and asked, "Then if it comes to the end, mother doesn't... come down?"

Speaking of one of the words, Lin Daiyu herself laughed out loud, thinking that it was very interesting to use this word to describe her mother.

Chen Heng looked a little weird, glanced at Daiyu up and down, spread his hands and said, "When the time comes, you will be married too, no matter how much my aunt wants to control you, I won't be able to control you anymore." After finishing speaking, Chen Heng himself laughed stand up.

The world only knows Li Qingzhao's talent and Tang Wan's affection, but they don't see the man behind them.Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao agree with each other, and Zhao Shicheng's generosity and consideration for Tang Wan and Lu You's affairs.

Fuck, looking at it this way, the old Zhao family is too miserable.It's only slightly better than Chen Jichang who married the Hedong lion.

Chen Heng let his thoughts go wild, but Lin Daiyu teased his brother a little bit.

The nerd!She thought about it angrily, but she was still amused by Chen Heng.

Women sometimes complain, not necessarily because they want a solution.More often than not, what women want is to feel better.

She is not stupid about the reasoning, and she will figure it out sooner or later.

Chen Heng did something by accident, and he was still foolishly happy.Sister Lin, who was in a better mood, had already asked, "If my elder brother marries a wife in the future, will she be asked to be a husband and son?"

After Lin Daiyu finished speaking, she looked expectantly at the person in front of her.

You see this question was asked, Chen Heng smiled and shook his head, "She can do whatever she wants. You know, our family is poor, so we don't have so many rules." Chen Heng spread his hands and smiled, "Like family My sister is going to the weaving workshop in the west of the city to earn money."

The influence of the previous life will not disappear because of time travel.Chen Heng has seen many women who can stand up to the sky, so naturally he doesn't think that women must be weaker than men.

If you have talent, you should make good use of it, and if you don't have talent, you still want to toss endlessly, that is the big problem.This principle is the same for both men and women.

Lin Daiyu held her chin with her hand again and looked at Chen Heng intently, "Brother, you can eat some more. This one is delicious too." She pointed at a piece of pastry and moved to another piece, "This thousand-layer cake is not bad either. , with dried fruit pulp inside, it’s a new style out there.”

Chen Heng smiled and ate a few yuan, then clapped his hands, ready to tell the other party about his uncle's lecture today.

Of course, not all of them can be explained clearly.Chen Heng slightly beautified the story, and pointed out a few important points for Daiyu to think about the beauty of it.

Sister Lin was very excited when she heard it. She didn't want to be strong, but she was a little unwilling to be restrained by her mother.As long as you stroke her hair, any reason will make sense.

You see, when she was in a good mood, she was still complaining about her mother's troubles in letting her learn piano and painting, and then she said, "When I learn piano and painting well, I will also teach my brother."

"Don't, my good sister. I don't have enough time." Chen Heng shook his head again and again. Now he can't wait to hang his ass on the buttocks, pass the exam with all his strength, and then hurry up to go to the weaving workshop for an internship.Who would like to waste precious time on such trivial matters.

Time flies by like a white horse, you and I are both passers-by.Chen Heng didn't want to miss every moment of self-growth.

"That's good to hear." Lin Daiyu pursed her lips, and her little finger couldn't help playing with the ends of her braided hair.

"Let's talk when we have a chance, let's talk when we have a chance." Chen Heng laughed.

How could he not know the elegance of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it will be a joy to travel with three or two friends in the future.Not to mention that people nowadays often take these things as necessary communication.

However, Chen Heng still decided to put the imperial examination as the most important thing in his heart, and he had the spirit of never giving up.The same is true for other things that you will learn slowly in the future.

"That life is so boring." Lin Daiyu said in a low voice.

"It's boring, but there's also boring fun." Chen Heng replied with a smile, "Besides, you and Brother Xue often whisper in my ears about the doorway inside. Under the influence of my ears and eyes, I can't figure it out. Other things, Just let it be."

Seeing that the left and right couldn't hold back her brother's thoughts, Lin Daiyu had no choice but to give up.But when she thought about how similar her actions were to her mother's requirements, she couldn't help laughing to herself.

"This person, it seems that everyone else is wrong. When it's his turn to make mistakes, he takes it for granted."

"Sister, why did you start to speak out?"

"Brother! I'm telling you the truth."

"Hahahahahahaha, okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong."

The two younger ones were chatting in the study, and Lin Ruhai, who came back to take a nap in the house, also leaned on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.Seeing his tired expression, Jia Shi couldn't help but feel distressed.

She knew that Xianggong was teaching Heng'er recently, and it was business.But thinking about the weak and sickly nature of the Lin family, he still worried: "You can't rush about one thing, and you can teach the children slowly. If you are so impatient, what will you do if you ruin your body?"

Lin Ruhai is also good at coaxing his wife, hearing Jia Shi's nagging, he deeply felt the joy of the boudoir.But he took Chen Heng out to take the blame, "So that Madam will know, but there is nothing I can do as a husband. I just blame that kid for being so enlightened, he can learn everything quickly."

"You can be very beautiful." Jia shook her head helplessly, got up and walked to the husband, rubbing his temples with her hands, "Is this more comfortable?"

"Excellent, excellent." Lin Ruhai moved his body and rested his head on Jia's lap.

"Did you tell Brother Wei about the Xue family?"

"I wrote a letter a few years ago. This matter is handed over to the Ministry of Rites. There should be no mistakes. We will just wait for the reply." Lin Ruhai snorted. He is really tired today. Of course there is no need to say much.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Jia smiled and scratched Lin Ruhai's ear, "You taught me hard. Heng'er, are you really learning so fast?"

"No, you know my temperament. Since I really want to teach, I must teach everything in detail. But I said everything like this, and he can quickly understand the tricks. Tsk tsk." Lin Ruhai said very proudly ,

"Sometimes, I wonder how Heng'er's brain grows. Is it true that, as the Buddhists say, there are people in the world who are born with Su Hui."

"Don't talk about ghosts and gods." Jia raised her hand and patted on the husband's arm. "This is his own blessing. I hope he and Jue'er can continue this brotherhood in the future."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings." Lin Ruhai smiled, took Jia's hand, and slowly kneaded it in his palm, "Heng'er is a character who knows how to reciprocate, we don't need to say anything, he will remember it in his heart." The door is clear."

"One day, we won't be here anymore. With him here, he will take care of both of them."

Lin Ruhai is only 45 this year, supposedly not old enough to discuss this topic.But his father passed away at this age.Coupled with the fact that Lin Jue was only eight years old, a little younger than he was back then, it was inevitable to have such worries.

"Bah, bah, those who celebrate Chinese New Year, don't say such unkind words." I saw Jia raised his hand, and slapped Lin Ruhai.These few times, but really hit miles.

Knowing that he was too relaxed and said the wrong thing, Lin Ruhai had no choice but to accept it with a smile, then took Jia Shi into his arms, and comforted him: "Okay, Madam, don't worry, don't worry. We all want to watch the children get married and start a career."

That night, when Chen Heng returned home, he sat at the table and began to think about the day's affairs.

Under the silence of all things, it made him think like a fountain.Chen Heng suddenly remembered about Jia Yucun. In his previous life, he had read an opinion on a forum.It is said that Lin Daiyu was left alone by Jia Yucun by Lin Ruhai. Once Daiyu died, Jia Yucun took revenge for the Lin family and planned the ransacking of Jia's house.

This point of view has been taught by my uncle in the past few days.Chen Heng could already figure it out that this matter should be just nonsense.

How could the struggle in the imperial court be so child's play.Uncle Lin was kind enough to recommend Jia Yucun, but he really recommended Jia Yucun as the prefect of Jinling, but the Jia family set up a line for him, and it could even be said that Wang Ziteng himself.

If you want to really speculate that Jia Yucun took revenge for Daiyu, it is better to say that Jia Yucun is Lin Ruhai and His Majesty, who broke into the enemy's interior and only waited for the flop at the last moment.

Is there such a possibility?Chen Heng drew a question mark on the paper, thinking about what he learned, and gaining something after learning.Chen Heng drew a turtle on the paper, just as a mark for himself, let's put these questions aside and think about them later.

He picked up the book again, trying to read it for a while before going to bed.

It wasn't until Xinda, who had finished washing, walked into the room and urged himself to sleep, that Chen Heng rolled onto the bed.

Time soon came to the 25th of the first lunar month, and the Lantern Festival has passed for a while.The city is still filled with lively atmosphere.The life of Yangzhou people is so romantic and comfortable.

Today is Uncle Lin's holiday. After walking through the streets and alleys, Chen Heng came to Lin's study again, waiting for Uncle Lin to teach him his homework later.

Now there are still some women and children living in the academy.It was far from the time for the academy to start school, so Chen Heng was a little uncomfortable with such a long vacation.

Lin Ruhai was very happy about this, he just took this opportunity to teach Chen Heng well.Only recently, the people in the city are renovating the river.Even though he was resting, Lin Ruhai was still worried, and went out early in the morning to inspect the river embankment.

"Master said before going out, young master, please wait a little longer in the study, and read and review by yourself first, he will be back soon." The servant serving tea repeated Lin Ruhai's instructions before carefully leaving.

Chen Heng did not come to Lin's residence once or twice. Seeing that his uncle was not there, he picked a book and sat at the small table to read it.

While he was watching in fascination, someone outside suddenly opened the door and came in. He opened his mouth and said, "Uncle, my nephew is here to see you."

Chen Heng turned his head, only to see a stranger standing outside the door.

Jia Lian, who came here again from the capital, couldn't help asking curiously, "Who are you and why are you in my uncle's study?"
