Wen Dongyan smiled.
He turned to look at Lin Ruhai.
He cupped his hands and said, "Brother Ruhai, long time no see."
"Brother Dongyan." Lin Ruhai got up and cupped his hands in return, "It's been more than ten years.
Brother Dongyan's style is still the same, but I'm already like a dead tree. "
"Brother Ruhai is joking. You work hard for the sake of the country and the people, while I'm just a commoner. How can I compare to you? "
Lin Ruhai smiled wryly.
Wen Dongyan was a commoner.
He was more important than him, a doctor of Lantai Temple and a salt inspector. Back then, Wen Dongyan publicly refused to be an official in the main hall, which made the emperor emeritus very angry. Although the emperor emeritus did not revoke Wen Dongyan's title as the top scorer, he issued a decree that he would never be admitted. He really felt sorry for Wen Dongyan.
And he was very confused. Since he didn't want to be an official, why did he want to be an official? But it was also thanks to Wen Dongyan's refusal that he was able to receive the emperor emeritus's vigorous training. And when Wen Dongyan joined the Shuijing.
The emperor emeritus was more like in a fit of pique.
He and that year's second place were sent to high positions. One had to know that every three years, there would be a top scorer, second place, and third place, but not everyone could be promoted to a high official.
All of his classmates, including him, sympathized with Wen Dongyan. But at that time, no one thought that
Wen Dongyan would become an existence that many people could only look at but could not reach.
The world was really unpredictable!
Lin Ruhai sighed in his heart.
He calmed down.
He asked, "Brother Dongyan.
What's the matter with that Liu Jin? I've never heard that Mama Liu had such a godson.
Could it be someone impersonating him? "
"Liu Jin is indeed Mama Liu's godson without a doubt. It's just that he had been living in the capital until more than a year ago, that is, after the late Madam passed away, then he came to Yangzhou. " Wen Dongyan paused and turned to look at Shuijing. Seeing Shuijing nod, he took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed them to Lin Ruhai. "You'll know the details after you read them."
Those papers were filled with words. Lin Ruhai's face was filled with confusion at first, but then his face became darker and darker. His chest heaved up and down more and more, and his body trembled violently.
He raised his head abruptly and looked at Wen Dongyan with bloodshot eyes. "Is what's written on this paper true?" His voice sounded like it came from hell.
Wen Dongyan sighed. "It's absolutely true. Their methods were not brilliant, and they were full of loopholes. As long as one investigated carefully, they would be able to find out. F * ck!
The paper in Lin Ruhai's hand deformed from his grip. He pushed Wen Dongyan aside and rushed over to Jia Xie like a flash of lightning. He angrily roared, "What has our Lin family done to your Jia family? You actually used such despicable means to harm us!?"
Jia Xie's ears were ringing from the roar, but he wasn't easy to bully. He immediately slapped the table and roared back, "Are you crazy? Why are you getting angry at me?! "
"See for yourself!" Lin Ruhai threw the papers at Jia Xie's face. He gritted his teeth and fiercely said, "I, Lin Ruhai, have treated your Jia family well, but how did you treat me? Putting aside the fact that you planted people in my backyard and passed the information to Duke Xiu's Mansion and the Zhen family, you even deliberately fed me and Min 'er medicine to weaken our bodies, causing Yu' er and Mo 'er to be born with congenital deficiencies. Mo 'er was only three years old when he died! "He grabbed Jia Xie's lapel." Isn't Mo' er the grandson of your Jia family?! Isn't Min 'er the daughter of your Jia family? How can you be so heartless?! "
Jia Xie finally understood what was going on. He sneered and forcefully flung Lin Ruhai away, causing him to stagger back several steps. He supported himself on the table with one hand and barely managed to steady himself.
"Are you angry? Do you hate me? Unfortunately, you've found the wrong person. The person you're looking for is in the capital! I won't take the blame for nothing. "
"I've found the wrong person?" Lin Ruhai's eyes were full of disbelief. "You're the head of Rongguo Province, and these people are your servants!"
Jia Xie sneered, "Now you remember that I'm the head of Rongguo Province. How come I don't usually see you putting me, the head of Rongguo Province, in your eyes? You're really good, thinking of the second branch whenever there's something good, and blaming it on me when something happens. I also want to know what I did in my past life that angered the heavens and people, so that in this life, my parents don't love me, and my relatives are trying to harm me behind my back. "
"It's none of your business. Isn't the Jia Lian your son?"
Jia Xie was startled. He didn't understand how this matter was related to the Jia Lian. He hurriedly looked at Wen Dongyan and asked, "What does he mean? What does it have to do with Brother Chain? Also, the Old Madam has always loved Minmei. How could she be so cruel as to harm her? "
"The Old Madam Jia probably didn't expect things to turn out like this." Wen Dongyan sighed, "Back then, Prince Zhongyi's position as the Crown Prince was in jeopardy. The Retired Emperor also liked the Third Prince, who was born after him, and the Seventh Prince, who was born after Imperial Concubine Zhen. The four princes and eight dukes were all involved in the battle for the throne. However, ever since the Old Duke of Rongguo Province passed away, his descendants were all useless. They had no way to fight for the throne, so in the end, they could only start with the Lin family. Brother Ruhai had long been hated by the princes because he maintained a neutral position. However, Brother Ruhai was cautious, so they didn't know where to start. It wasn't until the Old Madam Jia secretly gave them information about the Lin family that they found the opportunity to secretly drug them. Later, the Retired Emperor abdicated and the new Emperor ascended the throne. The drug was stopped, but Lady Lin's body was ruined. Brother Ruhai was a man, so his situation was better. Later, Lady Lin passed away. After Second Master Lian came to Yangzhou, he gave a letter to Lady Lin's escort. Those escorts were following orders and using Brother Ruhai's name to commit crimes outside. However, they were all doing things like occupying farmland and robbing other people's property. The farmer we met was just one of them. "
The afternoon sun was just right. Jia Xie was warm from the sun and felt drowsy.
He was resting in his room a moment ago. Ever since he cultivated his body and mind, he slept more and more every day. He wished he could make up for all the sleep he missed before. However, not long after he fell asleep, he was woken up by someone, saying that his master wanted him to wait here to welcome guests.
Jia Xie was very puzzled.
Recently, other than knowing that the Shuijing had set up a fortune-telling stall, he didn't know anything else. The Shuijing didn't tell him, and he didn't intend to ask. This wasn't like the time when he was Shuijing's study partner. They didn't hide anything from each other. After so many years, the Shuijing must have a lot of secrets. Otherwise, they wouldn't have succeeded in usurping the throne before anyone could react. He thought very clearly. If the Shuijing was willing to tell him, he would listen. If the Shuijing didn't tell him, he wouldn't be able to find anything even if he cracked his head. He might even cause the Shuijing to be disgusted. It wasn't easy for him to live a good life. Why would he dig his own grave? Moreover, the more he knew, the greater the responsibility he had to bear. Jia Xie was very self-aware. Even if he didn't like Wen Dongyan, he knew that he didn't have the ability to do so. Therefore, he was happy to be an idle man.
What Jia Xie didn't understand was that this wasn't the capital. Who needed him to personally welcome them? It wasn't that he was conceited. After all, he was a first-class general. Not everyone was qualified to welcome him …
As he thought about it, Jia Xie's head became heavier and heavier. His upper and lower eyelids were already fighting. He was almost about to fall asleep standing up.
"Master Jia, the guest is here." The manservant, who was waiting quietly at the side, reminded him in a low voice. Seeing that Jia Xie was still dozing off, he couldn't help but raise his voice. "Master Jia? Master Jia! "
Jia Xie suddenly quivered. He turned his head to look at the manservant in confusion. At his signal, he turned back to look at the green sedan chair that was slowly approaching. He knew that the guest was here. He hurriedly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. He tidied his clothes, straightened his chest, and raised his head. He made a good posture and waited for the guest.
The white sedan chair landed. The curtain was lifted and a person stepped out of the sedan chair.
Jia Xie looked at the person in confusion. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes wide. "Sister's … husband?" His tone was very hesitant.
Lin Ruhai, who had just stepped out of the sedan chair and stood firmly on the ground, also looked at him in disbelief. "Eldest … brother-in-law?"
Jia Xie's heart thumped. It really was brother-in-law Lin Ruhai. No wonder the Shuijing had sent him to welcome him.
But …
How did Lin Ruhai become like this?
Jia Xie muttered in his heart. He and Lin Ruhai had not seen each other for more than ten years. In his memory, Lin Ruhai was still the same handsome young man who had just married a beautiful wife and had a bright future. He was not the old man in front of him with a pale face and a thin body with deep eye sockets. At first glance, he could tell that Lin Ruhai was seriously ill. Even though he had changed a lot, he had done it on purpose. Lin Ruhai couldn't have done it on purpose.
Lin Ruhai's thoughts were also in a whirl. Even though he knew that Jia Xie had been Prince Rui's study partner at the Shuijing, he also remembered that they had drifted apart and hadn't seen each other for many years. Jia Min had also nagged him, saying that her eldest brother wasn't good at literature or martial arts. After becoming the Prince's study partner, he didn't give himself a promotion. If it had been her second brother, Jia Zheng, he definitely wouldn't have been demoted. Maybe their Jia family would have returned to the glory of their ancestor's era.
Even though Lin Ruhai didn't comment on his two brothers-in-law, in his heart, he agreed with Jia Min. In his opinion, Jia Xie was the kind of person who had a pile of good cards in his hand but played them badly. Thinking about how his Lin family had also inherited the title of Marquis for five generations, all the way to his father's generation. He knew that he couldn't inherit the title, so he studied hard. In the end, he fought his way out of the imperial examinations and didn't disgrace his ancestors' reputation. If he was Jia Xie, his achievements wouldn't be limited to what he had now. Maybe he would be remembered in history.
But Jia Xie appeared here at this time. Presumably, her relationship with Prince Rui had improved. Lin Ruhai thought back. More than a year ago, the Jia family's letter to Jia Min mentioned that Jia Xie was always stealing chickens and touching dogs. How did such a good-for-nothing person enter the Shuijing's eyes again?
Jia Xie didn't know that Lin Ruhai despised him in his heart. But he and Jia Min and Lin Ruhai didn't have a good relationship. Jia Min didn't like him as an older brother. Lin Ruhai, who had a good relationship with Jia Zheng, wasn't much better. Because of this, he didn't have the enthusiasm of meeting relatives. He only said lightly: "Master has been waiting for a long time. Come with me."
Lin Ruhai was speechless. In his heart, he thought that Jia Xie really wasn't likable. He also drank tea in the teahouse for half a day before the sedan chair came to pick him up. How could he be blamed for making his master wait for so long?
