Yu Cun and this young master were peers, and Yu Cun was Daiyu's teacher.
But this young master was not very old.
"Is this brother here to see mother?" Daiyu grabbed Lin Ruhai's sleeve tightly,
She asked softly.
Lin Ruhai sighed in his heart,
He thought,
There was nothing wrong with calling him like this.
"I'm here to see my younger brother, He Lin,
He's also in your residence. "He Shen spoke first.
Daiyu's head was tilted up as she obediently listened to him speak.
He Shen met Daiyu's gaze and subconsciously whispered, "I'm also here to see you."
"Look at me." Daiyu looked back at Lin Ruhai in confusion.
Lin Ruhai suddenly became nervous.
His daughter was weak, and countless doctors were hired,
But none of them could.
At this moment, He Shen mentioned it again,
He couldn't help but worry,
Could it be an incurable disease?
He Shen looked at her from head to toe. Because of his gentle gaze, Gu Ruoyun looked at him from top to bottom.
Daiyu didn't feel uncomfortable, so she didn't have any intention of hiding. She just let He Shen stare at her.
Daiyu was young, and He Shen wasn't old either,
It wasn't out of the ordinary to look at her like this.
It was just that Lin Ruhai couldn't help but be nervous. Even his facial features were slightly distorted,
Where was the seriousness of the past?
"You've grown a little taller,
Your hair has grown a little longer. "
Daiyu listened,
She couldn't help but raise her small hand and touch her head,
Then she touched her hair bun,
The corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.
He Shen said as he held Daiyu's wrist and then looked at Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai suddenly reacted. He had something to say in private.
Lin Ruhai: "Yu'er, did you go to see mother today?"
Daiyu: "Not yet."
Lin Ruhai: "Then go now."
Daiyu nodded and walked out.
But when she reached the entrance of the courtyard, she suddenly turned back to look at He Shen, and then walked away.
He Shen's heart was about to melt from that look.
He really didn't know that Sister Lin was so cute when she was young.
He didn't know how awe-inspiring she would be when she grew up.
"This way, please." Lin Ruhai raised his hand and invited He Shen to another courtyard.
Jia Yucun also followed behind him.
The three of them quickly sat down in the room, and the servant girl served them tea. She couldn't help but look curiously at He Shen.
However, He Shen's gaze was still slightly lowered, as if he was deep in thought.
Seeing him like this, Lin Ruhai's heart sank.
"Young Master, my daughter's health..."
He Shen looked up and said in a low voice, "I'll write a prescription for you.
From now on, I'll change the prescription every three months. "
Actually, if conditions permitted, she should take the medicine for seven days, then her pulse would be checked and the medicine would be given again.
Lin Ruhai trusted He Shen's words very much. He immediately nodded and said, "I'll have to trouble you, Young Master. How about you rest in the Lin residence today?"
He Shen nodded and said, "Change the prescription for Ling Zheng as well."
Lin Ruhai's eyes lit up. He finally had to admit that the prescription he got from the Taoist temple was probably made by the Young Master in front of him.
The Young Master was young, but when he thought about it, there were so many strange people in the world, so he didn't feel shocked.
He Shen stayed in the Lin residence that day.
Lin Ruhai led He Shen around the residence and accompanied him to eat. Then, he arranged for him to stay in a courtyard.
Only He Shen, He Lin, and Jia Yucun lived in the courtyard.
When He Lin heard He Shen's footsteps, he turned into a ball and ran straight into He Shen's arms.
"Brother!" He Lin looked up and grabbed He Shen's sleeve. His eyes were shining.
His skin was darker, but the flesh on his face was firmer.
He didn't cry.
After following Jia Yucun around, He Lin completely broke away from his previous clingy image.
He Shen hugged him and then led He Lin inside.
He Lin talked endlessly about how good Yangzhou was.
He Shen said, "How about staying in Yangzhou?"
He Lin was frightened and shook his head repeatedly, "No, no."
He Shen rubbed his head, chuckled, and asked, "How's your studies?"
He Lin straightened his neck and said with a serious face, "Very good." But there was a hint of wanting to be praised between his eyebrows.
He Shen looked at him suspiciously.
"Teacher said the same thing."
He Shen nodded, "Then let's go back to the capital."
He Lin was a little reluctant, "But, but Teacher still has to stay in Yangzhou."
"He Lin, do you want to enter the government school?"
"Yes." He Lin nodded hard.
"Then let's go back to the capital."
Nearly a year of traveling was enough for He Lin to learn some things.
At least, He Shen was very satisfied with He Lin now.
He Shen knew that Jia Yucun wouldn't be here for long. With Lin Ruhai as his guarantor, he would step into the officialdom again.
And Daiyu would be escorted by Jia Yucun to Rongguo Province.
He Lin naturally didn't need to be his student anymore.
Jia Yucun was just He Lin's enlightenment. When he entered the government school in the future, he would be the most important.
He Lin couldn't stay in Yangzhou any longer after telling his father that he was going back to the capital. He urged him all day long to leave.
After all, no matter how good Yangzhou was, it wasn't his home.
Lin Ruhai and the others didn't know anything about this.
Lin Ruhai invited a few doctors to his home and asked them to secretly look at the prescription. After confirming that there was no harm, he ordered people to follow the prescription to get the medicine, decoct it, and make it into pills.
Strangely, after the pills were made, they were slightly sweet. Daiyu didn't know that it was medicine. He smiled and swallowed it as if he was swallowing a candy ball.
Lin Ruhai didn't know if it was because he was biased, but after a few days, he felt that his daughter's pale face was a little red. Her complexion was much better.
The atmosphere in the Lin residence finally relaxed a little.
At this time, because of Daiyu, Lin Ruhai addressed He Shen as an equal.
August.
He Shen took He Lin with him and prepared to return to the capital.
Before leaving, he went to see Sister Lin one last time.
Daiyu had just come out from Jia Min's place. Behind him were two little girls. They were short, and their faces were round and childish.
He Shen glanced at them and thought that one of them should be Xue Yan.
"Brother, are you leaving?" Daiyu vaguely heard the servants mention this. When she tilted her head to look at He Shen, her eyes revealed a little reluctance.
Daiyu didn't have many playmates by her side. Since He Shen and He Lin entered the Lin residence, she felt that her days had become much more interesting.
Seeing that they were leaving, she felt a little sad.
"Yes." He Shen looked around.
Lin Ruhai wasn't there. There were only two or three manservants standing outside the courtyard. The older maidservants were still doing what they were doing, but the two younger maidservants were raising their heads and looking at him with admiration.
He Shen couldn't help but touch Daiyu's head. His fingers even rubbed the bun on her head.
It was soft.
"Where are you going?" Daiyu asked again.
"Back to the capital."
"When I'm older, can I visit you there?"
"Of course you can." He Shen couldn't help but laugh.
After such a period of recuperation, Daiyu's egg-shaped face was pink. He Shen looked at her appearance and really wanted to raise such a delicate girl by himself.
No wonder he liked Sister Lin when he watched "Dream of the Red Chamber".
He probably had a feeling that Sister Lin would be very likable when she was young.
"Then, then wait for me to grow up." Daiyu lowered her eyes slightly to hide the reluctance and sadness in her eyes.
He Shen couldn't bear to see her like this.
The scabby-headed monk in the book had long said: "If you want to be healthy, you must never hear crying again."
It could be seen that letting her live happily without sadness was the only way to make her healthy.
He Shen: "Do you want to grow up faster?"
Daiyu looked up at him with slight confusion. Her eyes were a little red.
Obviously, she couldn't suppress her emotions just now.
"I left some meatballs for your father. Be good and eat them every day.
Don't be greedy and don't look like this. Just look like this. The corners of your eyes and the ends of your eyebrows are drooping. You can't grow up like this. "
In the end, Daiyu was still young, so she was stunned by He Shen's words.
She stared at He Shen's face and even forgot about her sadness. She only asked blankly, "Then what should I do?"
He Shen's slender finger touched the corner of her mouth, "This part should be curved up. Smile more every day."
Daiyu was still deceived and didn't believe all the nonsense. She pursed her lips and said, "Can I grow up faster like this? You're bluffing."
"I didn't lie to you. Why don't you try?
Soon, you can come to the capital to see me. "
The two young maidservants beside her believed him without a doubt and chirped, "Young Master is right."
"Young Master isn't lying, right?"
"Miss should smile more every day."
"Miss looks the best when she smiles."
Daiyu widened her eyes and was slightly embarrassed. She pursed her lips and didn't speak anymore.
He Shen looked up at the sun.
It was getting late.
"I'm leaving now. If you have any problems in the future, you can ask your father. Write a letter to the capital and I'll receive it."
Daiyu's eyes brightened and she nodded, "Okay."
At this time, footsteps gradually sounded outside the courtyard. Lin Ruhai and Jia Yucun had arrived.
Lin Ruhai was also rather reluctant to part with He Shen. After all, the atmosphere in the Lin residence had become much more peaceful after He Shen's arrival. Once He Shen left, who knew what kind of lethargy the residence would return to?
"If Zhi Zhai has time, come to Yangzhou to play." Lin Ruhai whispered.
He Shen nodded.
Jia Yucun also had a bitter expression on his face, "Brother Zhizhai is really going to take He Lin away?" He thought that He Shen was angry that he was being treated as a guest by someone else.
When Jia Yucun was an official, he didn't know how to read the mood of his superiors. That was why he was mercilessly removed from his position.
After that, he became much more sensitive to the emotions and attitudes of others.
"Yes, He Lin should enter an official school."
Jia Yucun suddenly understood that the young man in front of him was a descendant of an official of the Manchurian Qing Dynasty.
His father was once a Vice Domain Chief of a region and had a high status.
He should enter an official school.
Jia Yucun's eyes flashed and he felt a little envious.
He was afraid that in the future, these two brothers would go straight to the top.
Even though he was reluctant, after a few words, Lin Ruhai still sent He Shen and Jia Yucun to the door.
Daiyu couldn't follow them to the door. He could only stand at the door of the small courtyard and look at their backs reluctantly as they walked further and further away.
After about half an hour, Lin Ruhai returned.
Daiyu looked up at his father and couldn't help but ask softly, "Father, can I go to the capital too?"
"For what?"
"To see that older brother."
Lin Ruhai smiled, "What older brother?
Although he is only a few years older than you, he is the benefactor who saved you and your mother.
You should call him uncle. "
After saying that, Lin Ruhai felt a little strange. He pursed his lips and didn't mention it again.
But in the future, Daiyu would still call him "older brother" in his heart.
He was so young. If he wasn't an older brother, then what was he?
After returning to the capital.
He Shen coincidentally received a letter from Xuan Tong Daozhang, saying that he was also coming to the capital.
He Shen thought it was funny. Could it be that the Taoist temple couldn't accommodate him?
But then, He Shen felt that an opportunity had come.
There were more nobles in the capital. Although it was not as easy to manage as in Fujian, if he put in a few years of effort, he would see great results.
Earning money from the nobles in Fujian was nothing. If he could earn money from the nobles in the capital, then he would be considered capable.
By the time He Shen was about to reply to the letter, Xuan Tong Daozhang had already arrived in the capital.
It turned out that the letter had arrived in He Shen's hands more than a month later.
Xuan Tong Daozhang entered He Shen's residence. The first thing he did was to put a chest full of money in front of He Shen.
Xuan Tong Daozhang exhaled and said, "Along the way, I was most afraid of meeting robbers. It was not easy to bring them here."
A thought flashed through He Shen's mind, but he thought of another matter.
How about setting up a bank in the Qing Dynasty?
It specialized in selling food and snacks. Every rainy day, it would also sell some wine and tea.
It had attracted many scholars and nobles who thought that they were elegant and refined.
In Rongguo Province, they often bought things from these two places.
Fortunately, Rongguo Province was not only rich but also had power. Thus, they were always able to buy things that they liked.
However, there were many masters in Rongguo Province. After dividing it up, there were not many places left.
Now, Baoyu was holding a box of Mosaic snacks in his hands. He said to Mother Jia, "I'll send it to Sister Lin's place.
There's no need to let Feicui make another trip. "
"You're always thinking about your sister."
Mother Jia looked at Baoyu affectionately. It was unknown what she thought of, but she waved her hand lazily and said, "Go, go."
Baoyu's face lit up with joy. He immediately carried the box of snacks to the green-screen cabinet.
Although it was spring, there was still a chill that had not dissipated.
He had not seen Sister Lin for a long time.
Thinking of this, Baoyu's face unconsciously carried a trace of a smile.
"Sister Lin." Before he entered the green-screen cabinet, Baoyu had already called out.
The strange thing was that the servant girls and women were not waiting outside.
Baoyu scratched his head and continued to walk forward. The laughter inside became clearer.
Baoyu hurriedly stepped through the door and saw that Yin Chun and the others were sitting inside. The servant girls and women were originally waiting on the side.
When they heard the sound of footsteps, they could not help but turn their heads to take a look. They laughed and said, "Baoyu is here. Come quickly."
"Come, come, come.
Try this. "
The sisters were used to fooling around with him. Tanchun picked up some food and stuffed it into his mouth. She asked with a smile, "Does it taste good?"
It was crispy in the mouth. The aroma was rich but not greasy.
Wasn't this the butterfly pastry that he had just eaten at the old ancestor's place?
He was holding this thing in his hand.
"Why are you stunned?" Tanchun covered her mouth and smiled.
Baoyu glanced at the scene in the room.
Daiyu was reclining on the small couch.
Yin Chun, Tanchun, and Baochai were sitting on both sides. Xichun was holding a mirror. She was holding a hairpin in her hand as if she was trying on a headdress.
The small table in front of them was full of food.
There were sugar-fried chestnuts, snacks that were often made in the residence, melon seeds, tea, and two or three boxes of food that seemed to be bought from outside.
"This is …" Baoyu pointed at the food on the table. He quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Why are you all here at Sister Lin's place? Why didn't you call me?"
"Uncle Lin sent some food to Sister. He said that it was some rare things, so Sister invited us all here," Tanchun said.
"Uncle Lin is in Gusu …" Baoyu was stunned. He could not help but mutter in his heart. How did he send the food? That uncle did not seem like someone who would do such a thing.
"Sit down quickly. What are you doing standing there?" Among the sisters, only Tanchun dared to lecture Baoyu like this.
Baoyu nodded and sat down. However, his gaze could not help but glance at Daiyu.
Now that it was spring, Daiyu also took off her fur coat and changed into a Yang Fei-colored dress. The color was so beautiful that it made her overly white face blush a little.
It was full of spiritual aura.
Daiyu was a little unhappy being stared at. Her face slightly darkened, and she asked, "Cousin, what are you doing here?"
"I, I'm here to send something to Sister.
Ancestor originally sent Feicui here. I missed Sister, so I came here personally. "Baoyu smiled warmly.
He originally wanted to curry favor with Daiyu.
However, Daiyu felt a little unhappy.
Baoyu's tone and behavior always made her feel that he was a little frivolous.
She avoided Baoyu a lot. She thought that Baoyu should be able to sense it. However, who knew that this person would be so passionate and insist on coming forward.
"What are you sending?" Yin Chun asked from the side.
Baoyu was worried that they would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said, "These are snacks bought from Mosaic. Ancestor ate them and sent people to send some to you."
Yin Chun did not speak.
The others also did not speak. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little strange.
Baoyu hurriedly opened the box in his hand and handed it to Daiyu, "Sister, you should try it. It was not easy to buy these things.
It's said that the food sold by the Black Ink Shop is in the millions, so much so that you can't even buy it. "
If it were another girl, she would have been touched by such a gesture.
The more difficult it was to buy something, the more he would think of her and send it to her.
Wouldn't that make her heart soften?
However, Daiyu looked indifferent. She pointed to the snacks on the table and said, "What a coincidence. These were also bought from Mosaic. It is said that there are still two things that have not been taken out for sale.
One is called Flower Cup Longan, and the other is called Almond Buddha Hand. "
"How is that possible?" Baoyu blurted out.
Xue Yan smiled and interrupted, "Bao Er Ye, you don't know. Mosaic is a business owned by Assistant Minister He's family. The signboard is even inscribed by the Emperor himself."
Baoyu mumbled, "Didn't the Eight Banners disciples say that they are not allowed to do business?"
"Things have changed now," Xue Yan said with a smile.
"But, but Assistant Minister He is Uncle Lin …"
"They are close friends. Therefore, when Mosaic and Yung Po Hin have something new, they will send it to us." Xue Yan was still smiling.
"Yung Po Hin …" Baoyu was stunned again.
"Yes, Yung Po Hin is also a business owned by Assistant Minister He's family."
Baoyu shut his mouth in embarrassment. Suddenly, he felt that the box in his hand was a little hot. He didn't dare to look at Daiyu's expression.
He had thought that it was something rare and hurriedly brought it over. However, he saw that there were many of them here.
Baoyu was a little depressed.
His eyes wandered around and then fell on Xichun's hand, "What is that? The new jewelry made in the manor is so beautiful."
Xichun waved his hand and hurriedly put it on the table, "It's Sister Lin's, not mine."
Baoyu said in a muffled voice, "Yung Po Hin's."
"Yes."
Tanchun and the others didn't know what Baoyu was thinking. They even smiled and said, "Yung Po Hin is really different. The jewelry made is really exquisite.
Anyone who sees it will like it very much. "
Baoyu felt even more restless. His mind was only filled with thoughts of Assistant Minister He, Assistant Minister He.
That person was very young. He was born bright and had such means. He had entered the officialdom early and was doing very well. Even when it came to earning money, he didn't fall behind.
In the past, Baoyu didn't think that being stubborn all day long was a big deal. Now that he thought about it carefully, he felt as if there was a ball of fire in his heart. It burned his internal organs and made him uncomfortable.
It was fine if there was no comparison.
Now, other people were like the clouds in the sky, while he was like the mud in the ground.
Sister Lin was such a clever person. How could he get close to her?
Baoyu didn't even have the mood to laugh with his sisters. Therefore, he didn't stay in the cupboard for long and hurriedly went back.
When he returned to the courtyard, he remembered that the box was still in his arms.
He let go of it and sat down on a stool in the courtyard.
At this moment, Jia Zheng happened to come. When he saw Baoyu thinking about something, he immediately became angry.
"Did you read books today?" His tone was already suppressing his anger.
Baoyu didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Father, why is Assistant Minister He in the imperial court doing business now?"
Jia Zheng said coldly, "He is very talented. Now, the Emperor has given him an important task.
What's the big deal about letting him open a shop? "
He is very talented.
He is appreciated by the Emperor.
Baoyu looked at himself again.
He still felt afraid when he saw his father.
Baoyu was completely speechless.
Jia Zheng couldn't bear to see him like this. He raised his hand and was about to hit him.
Baoyu cried out and hurriedly stood up. His heart was filled with pain. Today was really a terrible day.
Parents.
Elder brother.
These were all things that she had never come into contact with before.
Although she had received a lot of things when she was in Gusu.
They were just handkerchiefs, fans, and clothes. They weren't expensive things, but they always made Xue Yan cry every time.
Xue Yan had thought about what kind of people her mother and elder brother would be. But when they were really in front of her, Xue Yan was slightly flustered again. She was afraid that this was just a dream.
"Xue Yan, Miss Xue Yan." Several old maids at the door hurriedly stood up and smiled at Xue Yan.
Xue Yan stepped through the door and avoided the servants. Only then did she see the person standing outside.
She felt dizzy. She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"But Xue Yan," the person had already turned around and spoke first, easing Xue Yan's unfamiliarity and nervousness.
"Yes."
The person smiled, "I sent you letters before. Father should have mentioned me to you in the letters."
Xue Yan said in a soft voice, "Elder brother."
The person smiled even more affectionately. He asked Xue Yan in detail how she was doing. He had enough money, and he was very considerate.
When Xue Yan was full of gratitude, he asked in a low voice, "You serve Miss Lin?"
"Yes."
"Your master specially sent a letter to my master. My master told me to ask how your daughter is doing when I come to see you today."
Xue Yan was stunned, "Elder brother's master?"
"My master went to the Imperial Censor's Mansion a long time ago. Your daughter should know who he is."
Xue Yan was stunned, "May I know his name?"
The person shook his head and didn't say his name. Instead, he whispered to Xue Yan about other things.
It was only a few words, but he was very considerate and didn't leave anything out.
The more Xue Yan listened, the more surprised she became.
She opened her mouth, "Where is my daughter?"
The person pressed a hand on her shoulder, "You should keep everything in your heart. Don't show everything on your face."
Xue Yan could only close her mouth and nod her head heavily.
The person whispered again, "She is a maidservant given by the matriarch, so you can't neglect her.
But you need to be able to handle things.
If she is someone who is willing to do well for Miss Lin, then that's good.
But if she isn't good, then you need to know your place.
You have to be sure of your position and remember at all times that you are the servant girl that Miss Lin brought from home. You are the person closest to Miss Lin.
If you are weak and easy to bully, then others will also think that Miss Lin is easy to bully. "
No one had ever told Xue Yan these things so clearly before. She opened her eyes wide and nodded in a daze.
Although she didn't quite understand, this was the home of Miss Lin's maternal grandparents. How could something like bullying Miss Lin happen?
"You were close to Miss Lin in the past, so you should be like that in the future.
You need to know what's important.
You must not tarnish Miss Lin's reputation. "After saying this, the person paused and sighed," My master values your daughter very much.
In the future, if she encounters trouble and you don't know how to deal with it, you can just send a message. "
Xue Yan immediately became nervous, "How, how can I send a message?"
It would be a serious crime to send a message from the inner residence to the outer residence.
The person smiled, "You don't need to worry about this. My master has already taken care of it.
He definitely won't let you suffer. "
The person looked lovingly at Xue Yan, "I am your older brother. How could I harm you?"
Xue Yan bit her lip and asked, "Is Older Brother's master very powerful?"
The person smiled and said with pride, "He is the top scholar in this exam."
Xue Yan naturally knew how powerful he was and immediately widened her eyes.
Seeing Xue Yan like this, his heart softened. He raised his hand and patted her head, "Go.
Mother told me to bring this to you. "
Xue Yan happily took it and found that it was filled with things that girls liked to use.
They didn't look like much, but they all contained a strong sense of care.
"Go."
Xue Yan nodded and left.
Seeing her figure gradually disappear, the person thought to himself that if his younger sister was still alive, she would probably do the same.
When he turned around, his expression immediately changed.
It was time to report to the young master.
Jia Zheng led He Shen to his courtyard.
After they sat down, they didn't say much before a maidservant came in and reported, "Baoyu is here."
Jia Zheng's expression immediately darkened, "What is he doing here?"
"He's here to apologize to Father." The young man's weak voice sounded from inside the door.
Just as he finished speaking, the young master had already strode in, and there was a skinny servant beside him supporting him.
He Shen rubbed the sides of the teacup twice and looked at the famous Jia Baoyu.
He was exactly the same as described in the book.
He wore a jeweled crown, a golden headband, bright red arrow sleeves, and a spiked coat.
His face was pink and full of affection.
However, his good appearance was a little pale. Coupled with his weak expression, he looked as if he had been ill for a long time.
However, this person was not as weak as he appeared to be, because after he stood still, his gaze instantly landed on He Shen's body, and even the depths of his eyes lit up.
"Stand up straight and talk," Jia Zheng said sternly.
In fact, if it had been in the past, Jia Zheng wouldn't have been so strict when he saw Baoyu like this.
However, at this time, He Shen was still on the side. When Jia Zheng saw Baoyu's weak posture, he felt even angrier.
Baoyu was shocked by Jia Zheng's roar and managed to stand still.
"Father, I know I was wrong."
He lowered his head, but his eyes were secretly glancing at He Shen. He didn't look like he knew he was wrong at all.
Even if he came to apologize, it was Lady Wang who coaxed him to come.
Jia Zheng's expression softened a little, and he asked, "Doctor, how many days do you say you'll be fine?"
"I'll have to lie down for three to five days."
As they were talking, someone came in to report that the Xue Pan was here to visit him.
Jia Zheng felt a headache coming on.
Why did she come at this time?
He was afraid that He Shen would laugh at her.
He Shen took the initiative to ask, "Is she the son of the Xue family?"
He wanted to see this Xue Pan.
Jia Zheng nodded. He had no choice but to wave his hand to let her in.
At this time, Xue Yan had just returned to the green screen cabinet.
Daiyu saw her step in with a smile on her face. He couldn't help but tease her, "Are you happy now?"
Xue Yan nodded hard, "Yes, I'm happy."
Speaking of this, Xue Yan paused, "Coincidentally, the master of the family that my brother's father serves seems to have some friendship with Master."
Daiyu, "Which uncle is it?"
"I don't know.
He should be quite old, in his forties or fifties. "
Xue Yan didn't think of He Shen at all. She only thought that since he was the top scorer, he must be quite old.
Yucun and this young master were peers, and Yucun was Daiyu's teacher.
However, this young master was quite young.
Daiyu grabbed Lin Ruhai's sleeve tightly and asked in a soft voice, "Is this brother here to see Mother?"
Lin Ruhai sighed in his heart. He thought that there was nothing wrong with calling him that.
He Shen spoke first, "I'm here to see my younger brother, He Lin. He's also in your residence."
Daiyu's head was tilted up as she obediently listened to him speak.
He Shen met Daiyu's gaze and said in a low voice, "I'm also here to see you."
"See me." Daiyu looked back at Lin Ruhai in confusion.
Lin Ruhai suddenly became nervous.
His daughter was weak. He had consulted countless doctors, but none of them could cure her.
Now that he heard He Shen mention it, he couldn't help but worry. Could it be an incurable disease?
He Shen looked her up and down. Because of his gentle gaze, Daiyu didn't feel uncomfortable. She didn't try to hide and let He Shen stare at her.
Daiyu was young, and He Shen wasn't old either. It wasn't inappropriate for him to look at her like this.
However, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but feel nervous. Even his facial features were slightly distorted. He didn't look as serious as he usually did.
"You've grown taller, and your hair is longer."
As Daiyu listened, she couldn't help but raise her small hand to touch her head. Then, she touched her hair bun. She couldn't help but smile.
He Shen held Daiyu's wrist as he spoke. Then, he looked at Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai suddenly realized that he had something to say in private.
Lin Ruhai said, "Yu'er, are you going to see your mother today?"
Daiyu said, "Not yet."
Lin Ruhai said, "Then, you can go now."
Daiyu nodded and walked out.
When she reached the entrance of the courtyard, she suddenly turned back to look at He Shen. Then, she walked away.
He Shen's heart almost melted from that look.
He really didn't know that Sister Lin was so adorable when she was young.
