The Red Chamber is not a dream

[Fifth Chapter] Lin Yuyu Goes to the Luming Banquet in Person · Mrs. Jia Passes Away in Yangzhou City

But he said that it has been several days since Zhenyu came home from the exam, and he didn't realize that it was time to release the results.That day Zhenyu went out to the class reunion, and Jia Min and Daiyu were alone at home.But he heard the commotion outside, Qian Sheng went out to see, because he asked what was the matter, he came back from time to time and laughed with Jia Min: "It's good to teach my wife to know a great event, our uncle is in high school!" Jia Min was lying on the couch. Looking at Daiyu's beautiful appearance, he hurriedly raised his body and asked, "Is this true?" Qian Sheng said, "How can this be false! The gong outside is beating so loudly that the uncle is in the middle of it." No. 3 Jingyuan, the newspapers are all surrounded, and they are about to pay for the wedding!" Saying blessings, he went on and said: "Congratulations to the wife! Congratulations to the eldest girl." All the maids were also happy when they heard this, They all came up to salute Jia Min Daiyu, and when family members outside heard this, they all came to the courtyard to congratulate the master's family. The main courtyard was very lively for a while.

Jia Min's joy was no small matter, so he hurriedly ordered Ming Xiao to open the small mother-of-pearl cabinet next to the bed to get a few pennies and hand them over to the boy outside, ordering him to go out and send away the announcers, at the same time, he ordered Ming Xiao to invite Ru Haitong's jade When they came back, Tong Daiyu couldn't help but be overjoyed.So he ordered his servants to collect wine and food, and spread the word: all servants in the family will get an extra month's money for each person; the servant girls who serve Yunyu will be rewarded additionally.At this time, the whole house is full of joy and laughter, which is even worse than that of the New Year.When Ruhai got the news, he headed home, and when he entered the door, he saw that the big red poster in the courtyard had been hung up, and it read: "Jiebao, the uncle of your mansion, Lin Yuzhenyu High School, Yangzhou Township Examination No. 3 Jingyuan. The Beijing News even published it." Huang Jia." Entering the room, I saw Jia Min holding Daiyu's hand and sitting on the couch, and a few maidservants standing beside her, all beaming with joy, seeing Ru Hai coming in, they all stood up.Lin Hai sat down in a hurry, and said, "Where did you go?" Jia Min said, "He went out in the morning. He was going to the classmate reunion, and he ordered someone to invite him." Go out and meet.Not long after Yunyu came back, she first went to the house to pay her respects to her mother. Jia Min then said, "There are guests outside, so go out and talk to them. It's not too late for our mother to talk at night. Don't treat the guests coldly." Said: "It doesn't matter who he is, it's not as important as mother and sister." While talking, Jia Min couldn't help urging him repeatedly, and then went out.

Seeing him go out, Jia Min smiled at Daiyu and said, "Your elder brother is now a real master of juren. Next year will be the year of the examination. He must go to Beijing to catch up for the examination. I want to be released from your father." , we have never been back to Kyoto. Your grandmother has a man of age, so she must miss you two very much. There are many sisters in your grandmother's family, all of whom are about the same age as you, and no one is stubborn with you when you are at home. Let's talk to your father, how about going to Beijing with your brother for a few days?" Daiyu laughed and said, "Of course, it's all up to father and mother's orders. It's just that mother is not feeling well recently, and she will take care of her for a few days until Daan is safe. It's not too late to go." But Jia Min caught a cold in autumn and fell ill intermittently for a few months, and it became severe again a few days ago, because he was afraid that his children would worry, so he didn't tell him, but forced a smile: "It's okay. It’s just that it rained a few days ago and I suffered from an old illness, I’m afraid it will be cured after such a happy event like your brother’s.” Daiyu was about to say anything more when she saw Lin Hai and Yunyu coming in , I won’t say any more.

In the evening, Jia Min told Ruhai that he wanted to go to Beijing, and Ruhai took care of his mind, thinking that he missed his mother and brother, and said, "This is a wonderful thing. Yunyu is still young, and you can go to Beijing with him, just to take care of him." Some; Kuang Yuezhang's family has a deep foundation in Beijing. If you go to Beijing, you will have to rely on your family. There are some things that are not easy to say in a letter. It would be great if you go in person. You can take care of it with peace of mind. Wait until you are stronger and then leave." Hearing this, not only Jia Min was happy, but Daiyu was also very happy, and she was going to pack up immediately, but at this time there was such a big happy event in the family, and she wanted to reward the family servants The relatives also had to return the gifts from each family, so this matter was more complicated than usual, the mother and daughter had to put aside the matter of going to Beijing for the time being, and discussed what they needed, it was no problem.

When Zhenyu heard about Jia Min's desire to go to Beijing, she knew why.It was nothing more than the old lady of the Jia mansion talking to Jia Min about her precious phoenix eggs, and intending to marry the Lin family; now that she has won the Juren, if the Jia mansion doesn't rush to win over the Lin family, it won't be the Jia mansion.I thought to myself: Jia Min didn't see Baoyu's current situation with his own eyes. He only heard Jia Taijun's praise in every possible way, but he didn't know his various evil deeds. He must agree with the marriage; There was no agreement on this matter. Apart from visiting relatives this time, he also intended to test Baoyu's character.He was naturally happy to let Jia Min see what kind of bastard Jia Taijun said would be unparalleled in the world one day, so he didn't stop him and just went about his own business.He was recently elected, so naturally there are many things to welcome and send, and there are also some secret matters that he has to deal with, so it's not a big deal.

Let's say that Jia Min wanted to bring his children to Beijing, so he wrote a letter early and ordered people to take them to Jia's mansion.However, the illness has not healed all this time, and because he was tired from work recently, he gradually became bedridden. Lin Hai was so anxious that he couldn't think about it, so he searched for doctors everywhere. Brother and sister Yuyu served soup and medicine day and night, tossing back and forth for more than half a month. When it came to October, I felt even more distracted, and I even got less water every day.Because Jia Min was thinking about Jinyu's scientific research, he had to stop thinking about going to Beijing for a while, and urged him to go to Beijing; In "Story of the Stone", Jia Min passed away in this year, and he was skeptical. He invited many famous doctors in Yangzhou to see him. They all said that his qi was weak and his blood was deficient, and he had become fatigued and timid. that's it.After staying for a few days, I saw the bones standing upright, gradually revealing the scene of the next world.Both Lin Hai and Yunyu knew that the illness was difficult to heal, but they didn't dare to show anything on their faces, they just kept it from Jia Min and Daiyu.

It must be known that this person's body is more clear than his own. Although Lin Haitong and Yunyu never said it, Jia Min knew it from the bottom of his heart.That day Daiyu went out to take care of things, and Du Jinyu was waiting by the bed. Seeing that there was no one else, Jia Min called him over and said, "My son, you are always a good person. I have you and your sister. Even if I die, I can still close my eyes; but if I let go now, it will inevitably miss my son's future." As he spoke, he shed tears.Knowing that he was talking about next year's exam, Zhenyu couldn't help feeling sad, and said: "Why did mother say that! It's just the wind, and I haven't gotten sick after seeing the summer. I think it will be better in autumn. What's more My father invited a famous doctor the day before yesterday, and he will come to the mansion to treat my mother in a few days, maybe a different prescription will be all right, I don’t know.” Jia Min smiled and said: “Good boy, everyone has their own destiny, and you can change it at will. ? You are always thoughtful and knowledgeable. Even if I miss next year's subject, you will have great prospects in the future. I only worry about your sister, who lost her mother at such a young age, what will happen in the future? What!" Yunyu was greatly distressed, and said solemnly: "Mother, don't worry. Our Lin family has several generations of princes, and our father is the Tanhua Lang appointed by our relatives. Although the son is unworthy, he is also famous for his achievements. Let me say something today. If you say so, my sister's life is safe only in me." Jia Min heard his words, Fang Jue was relieved, smiled, and stopped talking, only to see that the breath became shallower and weaker, and his hands gradually moved. It's cold.

Seeing that Jia Min's situation is not good, Zhenyu hurriedly went to the courtyard, asking people to invite Lin Hai and Daiyu.After a few people approached Jia Min's bed, seeing that he could no longer speak, they looked at Lin Hai weeping, and then turned to Yun Yu's brother and sister. With a smile, he closed his eyes and passed away.
