Master Lin of the Red Chamber

"Isn't my sister in Yangzhou? Why do you have to write a letter from home and ask someone to bring a gift?"

Playing with the purse in his hand, thinking about what Lin Ruhai said just now, Lin Qing suddenly asked with some doubts. Originally, he thought that this sister should be waiting for them in the house in Yangzhou, but now it seems that she is not.

After all, if they were in Yangzhou, they would be going back soon, so there was no need to write a letter at all, and sending gifts in person was undoubtedly more sincere than asking someone to carry them.

"Your sister's mother passed away early, because she was worried that she would have a bad reputation in the future without the guidance of her elders, so she was taken to the capital by her grandmother..."

Lin Ruhai took a deep look at his son, and explained patiently, but he couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face. Sure enough, the kid didn't listen to nine out of ten sentences of what he just said to his son.

He seemed to be very serious, but in fact, he probably had already lost his mind and didn't know what to think about. His son was so uncooperative, how to teach him in the future and repair the relationship really gave Lin Ruhai a headache.

"Oh, I see!"

Embarrassedly smiled, looking at Lin Ruhai's penetrating eyes, Lin Qing couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Only then did he remember that the other party seemed to have mentioned this matter when he was talking to him just now.

However, he always felt that staying with the other party was a bit depressing, so he didn't listen carefully, and dealt with it perfunctorily. He didn't expect that he was caught right now, which was a bit embarrassing.

"Father received the imperial decree a few years ago and was transferred to the capital to take up a post. This time, when I return to Yangzhou, I just tidy up a bit and will leave soon. Then, you will be able to see Yu'er!"

Seeing his son's eyes flickering, Lin Ruhai was obviously a little guilty, Lin Ruhai didn't say much, now that Qing'er has just returned to his side, it's already pretty good that he doesn't have any resentment or dissatisfaction, and he can't expect to have any respect for his father.

Still the same sentence, these things have to be done slowly, the left and right sons are still young, and it will be fine after a few years of careful teaching. When they get married and start a career, they will not be in the current state.

"Jingcheng, Yu'er, Daiyu, Lin Daiyu? Lin Daiyu!"

Hearing the word Yu'er again, the inexplicable sense of familiarity in Lin Qing's heart became more and more intense. He frowned, muttered a few words in his mouth, and suddenly opened his eyes wide, with a look of displeasure on his face. I can't believe it.

When Lin Ruhai told him the name Daiyu just now, he hadn't reacted yet, but when he connected the surname Lin together, and then connected the capital city, grandmother, Lin Ruhai, and Yangzhou together, Lin Qing suddenly seemed like a It was like being struck by lightning, and the whole person became scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.

He said why when he first heard the name Lin Ruhai, he felt a little familiar for no reason. This is Lin Daiyu's father, the unlucky one who only appeared in the "Dream of the Red Mansions" a few times, and only got pigtails.

Fortunately, he went to junior high school in his previous life. The other party said the word Daiyu. It took him a long time to realize it. It's so slow.

Thinking of the short-lived Lin Ruhai described in A Dream of Red Mansions, the Jia family who was destined to have no good end, Lin Qing felt so regretful that his intestines turned green. He wished he could directly face the railing and hit his head hard several times.

Why didn't he remember who this Lin Ruhai was? If he had remembered for even one day, he would not have agreed to adopt him after he died, even though Lin Daiyu was also his favorite character when he was young and frivolous.

But that is just an illusory liking, how can it be compared with his own future, you know, the Jia family is a big muddy pit, if it gets involved, there will be no good things, and it may be implicated at that time.

Moreover, according to what was written in Dream of the Red Chamber, the members of the Jia family had already set their sights on Lin Ruhai's family wealth, so he suddenly ran out and stabbed him horizontally, so he should not be regarded as a thorn in the flesh.

The most important thing is, according to the description in the book, this Lin Ruhai will not be alive for two years, and when the time comes, he will have to pay filial piety to the other party. Wouldn't it delay the scientific examination, and the elder sister's marriage will be even more difficult .

Thinking of this, Lin Qing suddenly felt extremely sad and angry in his heart. He glanced at Lin Ruhai, who was standing beside him, alive and kicking, showing no sign of short life at all, and a glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in his eyes.

According to what was written in Dream of Red Mansions, this Lin Ruhai has been in Yangzhou all his life, and he has never moved the land, and the other party has not adopted any son. Now not only the other party is going to be transferred to the capital, but also has a son like him.

Perhaps, this is not the world of Dream of Red Mansions, and the sister named Lin Daiyu just happens to have the same name as the protagonist in that book. Although this is a bit too coincidental, it is not completely impossible.

"Father, my sister's maternal grandfather's house, which one is it in the capital?"

Holding a glimmer of hope, Lin Qing asked tentatively, staring at Lin Ruhai closely with both eyes, praying in his heart, no matter what the grandfather's surname was or which family it was, even if it was the royal family, Never be surnamed Jia, never be surnamed Jia.

His little heart is already riddled with holes after experiencing a time-traveling blow. If he experiences another blow, he will really faint. This is not a joke.

"Jia's family in Rongguo's mansion!"

Looking at his son's expression in surprise, Lin Ruhai said in a puzzled way, why did he ask this all of a sudden, and looking at his son, he seemed to be afraid of something.

Could it be that his son was far away in that remote county and had heard of the Jia family's reputation, so he didn't want to have anything to do with the Jia family, for fear of hurting his reputation.

Thinking of what the Jia family has done these years, it is not impossible, but if this is the case, then the son is thinking too much. Jia Min has already passed away. The relationship between their Lin family and the Jia family has been so many years. It has almost faded away.

If it wasn't for Yu'er, there would be no relationship at all. Even now, it's just a matter of saving face. Although he knows that it's not Jia Min's fault that he has no children these years.

Back then, the two were even more affectionate as husband and wife, singing in harmony, but almost the blood of his Lin family was about to be cut off. Thinking back to the time when he gave several concubines a drink of avoidance soup in order to let his wife and husband have a son-in-law, how could it be possible for Lin Ruhai? No complaints at all.

Although this is the normal state of aristocratic families, it is generally done this way, and the concubine will not be born first, but it also depends on the circumstances. If the wife gives birth to a son, then it is nothing, but if not, it is a big deal sin.

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is to have no offspring. This is not just a talk. In ancient times, if a woman had nothing to do, according to the law of the court, she could directly retire on the basis of childlessness.

After all, Lin Ruhai is a traditional scholar-bureaucrat. As a man, how could he not pay attention to his children, otherwise, he would not have been disheartened these years, and even his daughter was placed in the Jia family, and he had no intention of taking care of him.

"Jia's family in Rongguo's mansion!"

Hearing this sentence, Lin Qing immediately lay down on the railing with a look of unrequited love, feeling that the whole world had become dark, the sky, the earth, God, you are really playing with him.
