The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

Lin Mingyu came out from her sister's courtyard, and Mantou, a boy who was chatting and joking with a few maids outside the courtyard, hurriedly stopped talking and laughing, and came up to her.

Lin Mingyu asked as he walked, "Is dad back yet?"

Mantou smiled and replied: "Master, the master went to the study when he returned to the mansion, and now the housekeeper is taking care of him. Are you going back to the Dongqing Court or...?"

As soon as Lin Mingyu turned his footsteps, Mantou understood, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Dongqing Courtyard lived next to Lin Hai in Guiwu Courtyard. When Lin Mingyu came to the study, the housekeeper Lin Feng gestured to him, meaning that a guest had arrived.Lin Mingyu nodded, and Lin Feng raised his voice and announced, "Master, the master is here."

"Come in." Lin Mingyu entered the study, and saw Lin Hai sitting at the head of the living room, and a young guest sitting at the bottom, leaning slightly, looking respectful and educated.The host and guest chatted happily, seeing Lin Mingyu coming in, they naturally stopped talking, with smiles on their faces.

Lin Hai looked at Yao Zi lovingly, and beckoned someone over: "Ming Yu, come and meet your cousin."

Lin Mingyu saluted blankly, very puzzled by this cousin who appeared out of nowhere.Lin Hai is a direct descendant of the Zheng'er Bajing Liehou, and has a detached position in his family.But he was obsessed with officialdom, so the position of head of the Lin family fell to the other family.Apart from being filial during festivals, Lin Hai seldom participated in the affairs of the clan, so Lin Mingyu didn't have much contact with the children of the clan.

It's not a new year right now, why did this cousin come here?

Before Lin Mingyu finished his obeisance, the guest hurriedly stopped him, took his hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "So this is Uncle Lin's youngest son, Mingyu. He has heard many compliments from the patriarch. When I saw him today, he is indeed handsome, just like my uncle. "The young man flattered him, and then introduced himself: "My single name is Rui, and I am nineteen years old, and I have never had a character. I am the eldest grandson of Qifang, and the ninth in the family. You may wish to call me Nine Brothers."

Lin Hai smiled: "That's right. Mingyu, your cousin is young and has already made a name for himself. Next year, Chunwei will be in front of the palace. You can ask him a lot of homework, it will definitely benefit your studies."

Lin Rui hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and his attitude was generous, and he and Lin Mingyu had a close relationship with each other.After talking, Lin Rui stood up and bowed to Lin Hai: "Uncle, my nephew will leave first. For today's matter, my nephew will not dare to forget my uncle's kindness."

Lin Hai helped him up, "One family doesn't speak two different languages. You go, you have free time on weekdays, just come to the house to play and get closer to your brother. Mingyu, send your ninth brother off."

Lin Mingyu inexplicably ran for a while, watched Lin Rui's carriage go away, turned and went back to the study.Standing in front of the desk, Lin Hai picked up a stack of papers and looked at them carefully. Lin Mingyu leaned over to look at them, and saw some compositions with very neat and elegant handwriting. It looks very comfortable.

Lin Hai paid attention to Lin Mingyu's reaction, seeing that he was serious about it, he couldn't help but feel more satisfied in his eyes.

After reading the composition, Lin Mingyu couldn't help asking: "Father, how long has it been since a relative came to my house, this cousin..." He looked at his father suspiciously, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?

Lin Hai put down the article, walked to the table, and pointed to the tea room on the table.Lin Mingyu served tea obediently, Lin Hai smiled, and said to him in detail: "Speaking of which, the lintel of our Lin family's ancestors is glorious, and only our branch is left in the direct line. This house is weak, and in my generation, only you My sister and you have two bloodlines. The side branches are a little more abundant, and the outstanding ones are few and far between. Within ten years, the Lin family will be worse than before."

Lin Hai sighed, thinking of the grandeur of his ancestors, and now that the mountains are declining, he sighed: "You are still young, but you must know that the glory of our Lin family is all tied to you. But as the saying goes, 'One piece of wood, three stakes, one brother' Three gangs, your ninth brother, Lin Rui, will be the first among the promising members of the Lin family. You have read the article just now, it is your ninth brother's recent schoolwork. With this skill, you will be named on the gold list in the future It's nothing to worry about. I think Lin Rui is fine but not greedy, cunning but not treacherous, and he is a talent that can be used. Today he came to my door, and it was just a word to me, but to him, he was kind and recreated. With this kindness, even if I'm not here, it will be easy for you brothers to talk in the future."

Lin Hai's words were earnest, and Lin Mingyu was just stunned when he heard that.

Traveling to the Red Mansion for a month, he became Lin Hai's nine-year-old son, Lin Mingyu. He felt that the beginning of the story was far from the Red Mansion, and Lin Hai's fate was probably different from the short life in the Red Mansion. He never expected that Lin Hai would think so far. In order that one day, when he is gone, the brothers and sisters of the Lin family will have no one to rely on, so they will start to show their kindness right now.For a moment, my heart was in a mess, I just looked at Lin Hai in a daze.

Lin Hai thought that his words had frightened the child. Thinking that his son had been seriously ill before and he had recovered soon, these words were still important to him. With this in mind, he took his hand, patted it lightly, and said with a smile: "Don't you Thinking wildly, that's what dad said. No one can predict what will happen in the future. For example, you were seriously ill before, which scared your dad and your sister to death, but now you are still alive and well. It is life and death, and wealth is in the sky. Now dad tells you, That is to remind you to deal with people in the future, be careful, try to make friends with people you can make friends with, it is convenient for you and yourself. Dad is getting old, and he can accompany you for ten or twenty years, but not for a lifetime. You are the only one in my Lin family Dizi, the pillar of the Lin family, your elder sister will depend on you in the future. Your responsibility is heavy, and your father has to put pressure on you early on. Mingyu, a manly man, is not afraid of difficulties, only afraid of himself If you don’t have the courage to face adversity, no matter when and where, you have to fight bravely. This sentence is Daddy’s greatest expectation for you.”

Lin Mingyu responded and lowered his head, thinking that Lin Hai's condition might not have reached this point?He is a thoughtful person who loves his children, if not for the time being running out, he would not be so sudden and eager to arrange his future contacts, and he vowed that he would be a rich and idle person in this life, so he should work hard for this.

Lin Hai thought he was depressed and couldn't bear it, but his physical condition became increasingly heavy. He just kept it secret because he was afraid that his siblings would be afraid when they were young. Mingyu was a boy. It is time to learn more.

Even so, he had a loving father's heart, so he raised his tone and brought up another matter with great interest: "Speaking of which, there is another exciting thing to tell your siblings. The next month is August, and your grandmother is on the second day of August. It’s my birthday, I sent a letter yesterday asking to pick up your siblings to Jinling to spend her birthday with her old man. Previously, your sister lived with her old man for more than a year, and it was very lively. Now that you have been home for two months, the old man is also panicking. Missing your body, I hear you well. My mother-in-law wants to pick you up so that I can talk. I have already promised. It is rare for you to go far away. Mid-Autumn Festival will be at your grandmother’s house to accompany the elderly. I have ordered gifts to Lin Feng , Get your things ready these two days, and I will ask Lin Cong to accompany you."

Lin Mingyu was quite surprised, and shouted: "My sister and I will not be at home during the Mid-Autumn Festival, what will you do, Daddy?"

Lin Hai smiled: "Silly boy, Daddy has colleagues and friends. In previous years, he lived with them first, and then went home to spend with you. Besides, there are so many people in the whole family, who eat and drink and invite to accompany him. Why can't Daddy have a hard time? ?”

Lin Mingyu was not happy, but someone spoke faster than him: "How can it be the same? My colleagues and friends are my father's entertainment, and there are many people in the whole family, but I don't have the same flesh and blood as my father. My brother and I are not by my father's side, how lonely my father must be! But it was Lin Daiyu's time to watch dinner, and she came to find her father and younger brother for dinner, and she just heard this passage.

Lin Mingyu chimed in and acted coquettishly with her tender face: "Sister is right, I don't want to go to Jinling, the road is far away, and I don't know people well. Accompanying daddy for the festival is a reunion between two people and a month, and it will live up to the beauty of the festival. Sister Don't go either, let the housekeeper back up the rich gifts and send them. Grandmother's house is a noble family, and it will naturally be lively. If we understand it, grandma will understand our filial piety." He didn't go to Jinling, he was in Gusu. The toubob is so good, why go to Jia's mansion to suffer that crime.Among the people in Jia's mansion, who is easy to get along with?Those little thoughts, others don't know, but they can't hide it from him who has traveled many times.

Lin Mingyu had made an oath long ago that she would stay with her father and sister to live a good life in this life, and if she had a chance to get a job or something, she would enjoy this life peacefully.

Lin Daiyu agreed with her younger brother and nodded repeatedly.

Lin Hai was quite moved, and he was very relieved in his heart. He secretly thought that if his sons and daughters were so filial, what more could a father ask for?But the reply letter has been sent out, and the mother-in-law has a life, and for the sake of my beloved wife who died young, she shouldn't violate it.In addition, you can take this opportunity to take a good look at your physical problems. It is inconvenient for the children to be around, so they scolded with a straight face: "Nonsense, your grandmother is kind and kind, how can you shirk like this? Daiyu , how did your grandmother treat you during those days when you were with your grandmother? You don’t miss her old man? Don’t you miss your sisters?”

Daiyu bowed her head and said nothing, unconsciously twisting the handkerchief with her fingers.Today the housekeeper brought a box to her courtyard, saying that it was a gadget sent by the sisters of Rongguo Mansion in Jinling, and there was a poem written on a handkerchief, and she could tell at a glance that it was Baoyu's handwriting, and she felt sore Unspeakably sweet.Remembering that before she came back, Baoyu was still thinking about other girls, and said to herself, I will stay in Gusu instead of going to Jinling, so you can make out with others.Thinking like this in my heart is not happy after all.

How did Lin Hai know this section? Seeing her daughter bowing her head, thinking that Daiyu has always been sensitive and slender, and the most temperamental, she must agree to go, and said to Mingyu: "Mingyu, your body was weak when you were young. Half a step away from me. Now that you are nine years old and have never been out of Gusu, how do you know that the customs and customs outside are different from Gusu? If you have seen it, you will definitely not regret going out. Besides, your grandmother will come back Letters always mention you, and want to pick you up to live for a while, and when your mother was around, she often said that she would take you to Jinling to play. Are you going against your mother's wishes?" Lin Hai coaxed and threatened at the same time, sweetly Cake and sticks were thrown together, determined to send their children to Jinling.

Lin Mingyu sighed: Stupid daddy, you think you are doing it for your children's benefit, but in fact you are pushing your child into a wolf's den!

Acting coquettishly and playing tricks is not easy to do, and her sister defected halfway, Lin Mingyu was powerless, and the trip to Jinling was imperative.But, let him give up his oath so easily?Lin Mingyu tilted his head and smiled, thinking about it.
