[Red Mansion] Different Daiyu

Lin Ruhai didn't answer his son's question directly, but instead asked, "Mother Li, what do you think, Mother Liu?"

Nanny Li and Nanny Liu looked at each other, and then said: "Back to the master, this old servant thinks that since the madam has written to Jia's mansion before leaving, the young lady must go this time. Otherwise, it will be unreasonable. Missy's reputation is not good either. However, it is debatable when to go."

"That's right, after the death of the eldest lady's mother, she was so sad that she was bedridden, so it was difficult to make a trip. Besides, the eldest lady has to keep a filial piety for her mother. After the filial piety period is over, it will not be too late to go to Jia's mansion." Liu Nanny continued.

Lin Daiyu and Lin Jinyu looked at it with a smile and bowed their heads in silence.

Lin Ruhai nodded in satisfaction, "Let's do it this way! From now on, leave the house affairs to Yu'er! Jinyu, you can also listen to it in your spare time. Although a man's family doesn't have to indulge in the back house, you also need to do these things. You know it well, so you won't be fooled by women just now."

"Yes, Daddy." Lin Jinyu said respectfully.

"Then, Daddy, I'm sick." Lin Daiyu said playfully, and she really fainted weakly on Nanny Li. Lin Ruhai looked at this precious daughter dumbfounded.

After Jia Min's first seven days passed, the talents from Jia's mansion were long overdue.When Lin Ruhai heard that it was Jia Lian who was sent by the Jia family to express his condolences, his face turned black on the spot!Is the Jia family slapping the Lin family in the face?I'm not dead yet!My sister died, but my two uncles didn't show up, so a nephew came to express my condolences!What a deception!

Jia Lian saw that although Lin Ruhai's complexion was not good-looking, he seemed to be in good health.Jia Lian remembered what his ancestor had secretly told him when he came, to make himself pay attention to his uncle's complexion.What is this for!

After Jia Lian paid homage to Wai Jia Min, he proposed to Lin Ruhai to take Lin Daiyu back to Beijing, saying that the ancestors were thinking and looking forward to it, and they were just waiting to take Daiyu back!Lin Ruhai snorted coldly, "What a coincidence, your cousin and cousin are overwhelmed with grief, and are now sick in bed, besides, she has to keep a filial piety for her mother, so it will be inconvenient during the filial piety, I will write a letter, and you can tell your mother-in-law, After Yu'er's filial piety period is over, I will send her to Beijing again."

Jia Lian didn't dare to say anything, so she had to back down. Anyway, there is a letter written by Uncle Lin, so I won't be scolded by my ancestors when I go back!After Lin Ruhai sent Jia Lian away, he felt that Jia's mansion was a bit unbearable.There are more peace and enjoyment, but less shrewdness and ability.What's more, the mother-in-law didn't know what to think, let Xijue's eldest son live next to the stable, but let the second room live in the main house justifiably.How confused!

Jia Lian didn't stay in Yangzhou for too long, and returned to Beijing with Lin Ruhai's letter and the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony.Mother Jia looked forward to it day and night, but when Jia Lian came back, she only brought back a letter and a simple gift.Mother Jia's expression was gloomy after reading the letter, and Mrs. Wang's expression was also gloomy when she looked at the gift list.Even the usual silver is gone, it really is a dilapidated household, this man just got cold after leaving the tea!I still count on this money to be sent to the palace for Yuanchun's turnover!

"How does Uncle Lin look?" Mother Jia asked suddenly.

Jia Lian was taken aback, Wang Xifeng glared at him, Jia Lian finally came to his senses, "Although Uncle Lin is a little thin, but his complexion looks good, there is nothing serious!" Jia Lian didn't understand why Jia's mother was like this.

Mother Jia's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that what Min'er said in the letter was false?Didn't Min'er say that Lin Ruhai's health is not good?She was worried that if something happened to Lin Ruhai, there would be no one to trust her two children, and Lin Jinyu was a boy and had to be by his father's side, so she entrusted Daiyu to herself?But why did Lian'er say that Lin Ruhai's complexion is very good.No, Min'er will not lie to me, that is, Lin Ruhai lied to her daughter!

Hmph, sure enough, the tea is cold.Look at what he wrote in his letter, what is filial piety for his mother, it will take three years to keep filial piety, who knows what will happen in these three years, it is not guaranteed that Lin Ruhai will remarry at that time, and then he will have no reason Pick Daiyu back.

Mother Jia was impatient and waved them away.Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng walked out behind Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang asked, "Who arranged this ceremony? Why is it not even half of what it used to be? Didn't there still be an extra sum of money in the past? It’s 3000 taels, and at least 1000 taels. Why are there none this time? Could it be that you lost your money in drinking and gambling, and wiped it off in private!”

Jia Lian was a little upset when he heard that, why is your son a Wenqu star descending to earth, and I'm just a material for gambling and drinking, but the current form is better than others, so he has to bow his head.

"If you go back to my aunt, my uncle took care of the ceremony this time. My cousin is sick in bed, maybe my uncle made a mistake in his busy schedule!"

Mrs. Wang also thought about it, "Forget it, my aunt's poems and books are passed down to the family, so it is said that she would not do such a scandalous thing. Let's forget it this time, let's read it next time!"

After Jia Lian heard this, she wanted to roll her eyes. Why would someone give you so much gifts and money? Don’t think he doesn’t know that every time you send back gifts, not even one-third of them are ashamed to say!

After Mrs. Wang went back, she couldn't help herself. She was well aware of Jia's mother's plan. Didn't she just want to bring Daiyu in and have a long-term relationship with Baoyu?Although the Lin family has a wealth of tens of thousands, but from Lian'er's mouth, I learned that Lin Daiyu is as sick as her mother. How could my Baoyu marry such a woman!No, I have to think of a way.It would be great if Yuan Chun could go a step further. In this case, he would have more right to speak in the mansion, and his words would not be listened to.

And Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian's husband and wife have a farewell to their newlyweds, which is extremely sweet.For a while, Jia Lian put his arms around Wang Xifeng and said: "Uncle Lin's house is really different from other places. Although it is not as beautiful as our house with carved railings and jade bricks, but everything that hangs out must be fine. No wonder the old ancestor and second aunt miss it The property of the Lin family!"

"What are you talking about! Not to mention that the old ancestor's natal family is a double waiter, just talk about our Wang family, not to mention far away, look at my dowry, how many pieces can your Jia family come up with? Don't look at the door. Look at people, look down on people!" Wang Xifeng sat up and said disdainfully.

Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng's skin as white as jade, with good bumps, and his thoughts had already flown to the country of Java. He didn't remember what he said. He pulled Wang Xifeng down, turned over, and another round of sweetness began.

In this way, Lin Daiyu avoided going to Jia's house for the first time.In the next three years, the three members of the Lin family lived very peacefully, except for the frequent letters from Jia's house urging them, and the conspiracy against Lin Ruhai. If it weren't for the clear spring in Lin Daiyu's hands, Lin Ruhai might have been tricked a long time ago.

And Lin Ruhai's heart also became more and more hardened in the conspiracy and tricks again and again. On the one hand, he sorted out the salt administration, and on the other hand, he began to arrange retreats.

Lin Daiyu is already 10 years old, with two eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, and a pair of eyes that seem to be weeping but not weeping.Two dimples are born in the state of worry, and the disease of being delicate is attacked all over the body.Tears dripped, panting slightly.The demure is like a delicate flower shining in the water, and the action is like a weak willow supporting the wind.The heart has one more opening than the stem, and the disease is like Xizi's three points.Now that she has not yet grown up, she already has such a graceful appearance, once she reaches the age, she does not know how much trouble she will cause!

In the past three years, Lin Daiyu kept filial piety for her mother and rarely went out.There were also people who came to ask for marriage because of Lin Ruhai's family background, but Lin Ruhai refused because Lin Daiyu hadn't passed her filial piety, but there were still many people who came to propose marriage.In the end, he was reminded by Nanny Li that he remembered that his home was the flag of the Han army, and he was going to participate in the draft according to the law.After saying this, the people who proposed marriage no longer came to the door.

Lin Daiyu was taken aback when she learned that she was going to participate in the draft. If it weren't for the strict rules and regulations in the past few years, she would really faint.Don't you mean Han people?When will the Han people also participate in the draft.Nanny Li later popularized it to her. It is said that Empress Xiao Yiren was also the Han army flag when she entered the palace, and the flag was carried by the whole family later.The same is true of Crown Princess Guarja.

Lin Daiyu had to believe this fact.Seeing this, Nanny Li and Nanny Liu comforted each other, "You don't have to be like this. Over the years, you have learned the rules well enough to handle the draft! Besides, according to the current official position of the master, the lady must be a man." First wife, miss, don't worry."

Lin Daiyu thought about it, yes, her father is a second-rank official. I never heard that the daughter of a second-rank official was used as a concubine.It's okay, it's okay, there is a couple for a lifetime, you don't have to think about it in this society, at least if you are a regular wife, it is rare for Manchus to spoil their concubines and destroy their wives. If this is the case, I am not too miserable!

Lin Ruhai's term of office is coming to an end, and he doesn't know whether the emperor intends to let him continue to take over or let him return to Beijing to report on his duties.But no matter what, it is imperative for Daiyu to return to Beijing.Fortunately, the old house in Beijing has been renovated since the beginning of the year, so I can live in it when I go back.The Jia family has become more and more miserable in recent years.My own Yu'er is going to participate in the draft, so she can't live in Jia's mansion, so as not to be dragged down.It's just that Jinyu is fine, Jinyu can go directly to the Imperial College to study, but Yu'er lives in a girl's house, and the Jia family will not let her live alone no matter what.No, Mother Jia's letter came again.In the past three years, Jia's mother wrote a letter once a month, either crying Jia Min or saying that she was running out of time, and she wanted to see her two children to the point where she couldn't shirk.

Lin Ruhai was quite distressed, and when Lin Daiyu found out, she comforted Lin Ruhai and said, "Dad, don't worry. My daughter came to Jia's house just to do her mother's filial piety. Besides, my daughter will participate in the draft three years later, so naturally I have to prepare for the draft. How can I go out casually?" Besides, there are three nuns accompanying the daughter, so what is there to worry about? Dad’s term of office is about to expire, and he may be re-elected, or return to Beijing to report on his work. It is best to return to Beijing to report on his work, then our father and daughter can meet each other. If re-elected, It's only three years. As long as Daddy is good, no one will dare to bully our siblings!"

After Lin Ruhai listened, she nodded in relief. Yu'er was right, it was only three years left, as long as she didn't fall, who would dare to bully Yu'er!
