[Red Mansion] Different Daiyu

Lin Ruhai hurried back to the Lin Mansion, Lin An and others had already set up the incense table, Lin Daiyu was also dressed up, and was just waiting for Lin Ruhai.After Lin Ruhai changed his clothes, the whole family knelt down in front of the incense table.

It was Li Dequan who brought the rice paper, and he smiled deliberately when he saw Lin Daiyu.This reassured Lin Daiyu a lot, at least, it meant that this imperial decree was a good thing.

"Follow the heavens, the emperor's decree said." Li Dequan read out the imperial decree.

Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu lowered their heads and listened, very good, Lin Ruhai has been promoted to Minister of Rites, co-organizer of the University, and a first-rank Beijing official.Lin Ruhai was very satisfied with the result.Lin Ruhai kowtowed to Shengen, and when he was about to accept the decree, Li Dequan said with a smile: "Master Lin, don't worry, there is another imperial decree here!"

Lin Ruhai suddenly thought of what he had asked for when he met the Holy One that day, and suddenly felt uneasy, wondering if what he thought was correct, and things changed drastically.

"By God's blessing, the emperor's decree said that the third-rank female official, Wang Shi, is now in charge. She is dignified, gentle and elegant, and can be a good match. She is now referring to Lin Hai, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, as his wife, and she will marry at a certain date."

Daizhao female official, but also the third grade, what kind of official position is this?Lin Ruhai was a little confused, and Lin Daiyu was also confused. She remembered that the court ladies in the Qing Dynasty did not have these grades. The Daizhao lady officer, this name sounds like the emperor's confidant. I heard that she has the right to act on behalf of the imperial edict, what exactly did the emperor get out of it!

Li Dequan looked at the father and daughter of the Lin family with a smile. The emperor's guess was too accurate. After doing this, the father and daughter must not be able to understand the situation. It is rare to see two smart people being stupid. It feels really good.No wonder the emperor likes to watch those ministers guessing!

Relying on her friendship with Li Dequan, Lin Daiyu pulled Li Dequan aside with a smile, "Li Anda, we all understand the previous imperial decree, but what's the matter with the second imperial edict? What is it? "

Li Dequan just smiled, didn't speak, just looked at Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu simply took Li Dequan's arm and acted coquettishly. Anyway, she was still young, so there was no pressure to do it. "Li Anda, just tell me!"

Li Dequan didn't expect Lin Daiyu to have such a reaction, so he was taken aback, "Okay, my eldest lady. Let me tell you, this acting lady is the Wang Momo you know. The reason why Lord Long Live made this move is actually for the good of Lady Wang. Lord Long Live has always felt guilty about Lady Wang, and this marriage is also because she gets along well with you, and the Lin family has a strict family style. As for the female officer in charge, Long Live God made this happen in order to let the princess get married in a good manner. It is also to let you Lin family understand that even if Lin Ruhai is not relying on Lin Ruhai, she is still a third-rank female official, and those who are afraid of being rich People who are not good enough look down on her as a palace maid. So do you understand?"

Lin Daiyu nodded, so that's the case. I didn't expect Master Kong to have such a warm side. He cared so much for the elderly around him. How painful it must have been for him to see father and son siblings trusting each other in his later years. !

As for those people with rich eyes, Lin Daiyu knew that they were people from the Jia family.Nanny Wang married into the Lin family, she is the head of the Lin family, how could she let her be looked down upon by the Jia family!

"Don't worry, An Da, when the Queen married to the Lin Mansion, she is the head mistress of the Lin Mansion and the wife of the Minister of Rites. If you think about it in detail, who can compare to her! Our Lin Mansion is not a vegetarian either!"

Li Dequan said with a smile: "This is the best. Long live Lord said that the sixth day of next month is a good day. If the Lin family has no objection, the regular date will be set on that day. Long live Lord specially asked the House of Internal Affairs to be the princess. The official prepared a dowry, and rewarded Lady Wang with a Zhuangzi, and that day, Lady Wang was married from the Zhuangzi."

"The sixth day of next month? No problem, don't worry An Da!" Lin Daiyu counted the time, there is still a full month until the sixth day of next month, enough!

"Since that's the case, the miscellaneous family will return to the palace to restore the order." Li Dequan said with a smile.

"Wait a minute, Li Anda." Lin Daiyu took a sheepskin bag from Luzhu who hurried over, and handed it to Li Dequan, "Anda, this is the fruit wine I brewed myself. It’s okay to drink while on duty. The weather is getting colder, and An Da takes a sip when he’s on duty at night to warm up his body. After drinking, Anda will send someone to pick it up again!”

Li Dequan was a little surprised. Miss Lin is really a crystal-hearted person. When she went to other houses to announce the decree, she also received many gifts, but the gift from Miss Lin was really sent to people's hearts.On duty in winter nights, even if there is a stove, it is still in the house, and if you go outside, you will be freezing!If you want to drink to warm up your body, but the wine is strong, not to mention the taste, if you get drunk and show yourself in front of the Long Live God, it will be a matter of losing your head!If this is really what Miss Lin said, to him, it is better than any treasure.

When Li Dequan returned to the palace to restore the decree, Kangxi was critiquing the papers. After hearing Li Dequan's vivid description of the reaction of the Lin family's father and daughter, Kangxi laughed.After hearing Lin Daiyu's assurance, Kangxi nodded in satisfaction, then raised his eyebrows and said: "Take it out, what good things did Miss Lin give you?"

Li Dequan was not surprised, and took out the small sheepskin bag from his sleeve, "Miss Lin said that this wine has a weak taste and low strength, so it's good for this old slave to drink when he is on duty at night!"

Kangxi took it, pulled out the cork, smelled it, "Well, it's really tasteless." Then he plugged the cork and threw it to Li Dequan, "Since she gave it to you, you can keep it. Go to her after drinking it." Yes. This girl is really very cautious. If I don’t tell you, she never knows how to send a copy to the palace when she has something good. Now that Lin Ruhai has returned to Beijing, she will stay at home even more. Hmph! Fortunately, next month Wan Yun just married in. I think she will have good things to take out when the time comes?"

Li Dequan suppressed a smile, bowed his head and did not speak.

The news that Lin Ruhai was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Rites and received a marriage order from the emperor quickly spread. Not surprisingly, it caused a great sensation. Old friends who came to the Lin residence to congratulate her came in droves. Fortunately, Lin Daiyu had something to say. Prepare, Lin Fu will not be rude to others.

After seeing off the last guest who came to congratulate her, the night was already dark. Lin Jinyu also came back from the Imperial College in the afternoon and helped Lin Ruhai entertain guests in the front hall.And Lin Daiyu led the mothers and maids to keep an eye on the situation in the front hall, offering tea and pastries, and sending up whatever was missing, even if she was too tired.

At this time, the three members of the Lin family, Lin An, Lin Gong and others gathered in Lin Ruhai's study to discuss the happy event for the next month. "Daddy, you'd better move out these days. Although the main courtyard has been repaired once before entering Beijing, it's different this time. Nanny Li, you have a good relationship with Lady Wang, so you should know something about her likes and dislikes." , Please help me to come up with some ideas for the renovation of the main courtyard this time. It must be perfect. Another thing is that Lady Wang once served as a foster mother by my side, but she will be the mistress of the Lin family in the future. Keep your mouth shut and don't say too much. You know, she has a lot of class." Lin Daiyu spoke first.

"Yu'er is right. Lin Gong, Lin Gui, as soon as they get married, just pick up the good ones and buy them, regardless of the price. Lin Cheng and Lin Fu will come over as soon as they deal with the matter in Yangzhou. And One month is enough!" Lin Ruhai also ordered.

"By the way, Mr. Li said that the dowry of Mrs. Wang is paid by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It may come in the next few days to measure the furniture and so on. You should quickly clean up the main courtyard." Lin Daiyu thought for a while and then ordered, inadvertently Looking back, I saw something wrong with Lin Jinyu's face, and it became clear.

While Lin Ruhai continued to explain, Lin Daiyu quietly took Lin Jinyu's hand and came out, "What's the matter? Are you unhappy that Daddy continued?"

Lin Jinyu didn't know what was going on. He was happy when he heard the news at first. The stepmother was someone close to the emperor, which meant that the emperor trusted his father and it was good for his sister. But after he was happy, he began to worry. If father marries stepmother, after they have another child, will father dislike him and only like the child born to stepmother?Many students in the Imperial College were in the same situation. They all said that with a stepmother, there would be a stepfather. Although he didn't have a deep affection for his biological mother, he still had a deep affection for his father.

Lin Daiyu patted her younger brother on the head with a smile, "You, what are you thinking about all day long! Don't talk about anything else, why do you think that Princess Wang is still not married at the age of forty, because she was injured when she was trying to save Lord Long Live? The body cannot conceive, that's why she has never married, even the Long Live God wants to take her into the harem she refuses. Now that she is getting older, the Long Live God let her marry because of her old age. Besides, do you think Daddy is that kind of person? He will forget you and me after having a child. Even if Daddy and stepmother have a child, you are more than seven years older than him, you are still afraid that he will Stealing your favor? Our stepmother is a smart person, she will not let that happen, if she really has a child, she will be doubly good to us, she and her child, in the end, count on And you!"

Lin Jinyu is also a smart person. He just didn't turn around for a while, but now that his sister said this, he touched his head in embarrassment, "Sister, I was wrong, don't tell daddy, and you are not allowed to tell other people."

Lin Daiyu smiled, "You stinky boy, read your books carefully. Daddy was a prodigy back then. Why can't you be worse than Daddy?"

"Of course. I will definitely study hard and support my sister in the future exam!" Lin Jinyu said proudly, puffing out her stomach.

In the study, Lin Ruhai listened to the laughter of the siblings, and stroked their beards in relief. The children have grown up!
