The Son-in-law of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

Although Miaoyu was a monk, she practiced with her hair, and was served by maids and women. There is a comment on Miaoyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions"-"Monks are not monks, vulgar are not vulgar, men are not men, women are not women."

It was not Miaoyu's original intention to convert to Buddhism. The reason why Miaoyu became a monk was originally to recuperate from illness, and later to avoid disaster.

Now, Miaoyu's illness has almost healed, and the injustice case of Miaoyu's father Chu Zhe has also been vindicated.

Therefore, after finding her younger brother Tianyou, Miaoyu returned to vulgar life.

Because Chu Zhe was wronged, the Supreme Emperor recalled Chu Zhe's youngest son, Chu Tianyou, and granted him a not-so-low official position and a not-so-small house.

The Chu family has long since declined, and now there are no female elders, and Miaoyu's temperament is a bit withdrawn and out of gregariousness. Therefore, on the day Miaoyu returned to vulgarity, only a few people, including Jia Min and Daiyu, came to the Chu family to congratulate her.

With the help of the girl, Miaoyu changed out of her monk's robe and put on a bright red dress that looked very festive. Then she opened the makeup box, put on a few luxurious hairdresses with a little bit of bouquet The hairpin is what Miaoyu's mother left for Miaoyu.

Miaoyu was born beautiful, she was originally a stunning beauty, but because she lived in Buddhism, she could only wear nun clothes, no make-up, no jewelry, but she had a different kind of beauty.

Now, Miaoyu has put on red makeup and looks even more radiant. Even sister Lin, who is all beautiful, cannot take away Miaoyu's demeanor.

Miaoyu tidied up her makeup and came to see Jia Min and Daiyu. When Jia Min saw her, she praised: "Good, good, good, even our Yu'er has been compared to you."

Miaoyu hurriedly said "Excellent reputation", Daiyu heard her mother's words, instead of being angry, she came to Miaoyu with a smile and called "Sister Miao".

"Miaoyu" is just a Dharma name. Before Miaoyu converted to Buddhism, her single name was "Miao".

Hearing the title "Sister Miao", Miaoyu was startled for a moment, and then her eyes turned red. While returning Daiyu the gift of a boudoir daughter, she called "Sister Lin", and then she burst into tears.

Daiyu hurriedly took out the handkerchief to wipe Miaoyu's tears, and said, "Sister Miao, why are you crying on such a beautiful day?"

Miaoyu cried a few times, then stopped her tears and said, "What my sister said is very true, I can't cry, I can't cry, I should laugh..."

When Daiyu heard this, she was inexplicably sad.

Miaoyu is almost 20 years old now, but she has missed a good time because of "monastic practice" and has not yet settled down.

Daiyu and Miaoyu have a very good relationship, and they really want to help Miaoyu. According to Daiyu's mind, she wants to lead Miaoyu to various houses so that Miaoyu can get married as soon as possible. However, although Daiyu is already married , but she is a few years younger than Miaoyu, and has no children, so she is not suitable for this kind of thing.

So Daiyu went to her natal family and went to Jia Min.

Miaoyu is an extremely beautiful, knowledgeable, and intelligent girl, but because of her background, she is extremely lonely, aloof, out of gregarious, and cannot be tolerated by the world.

Fortunately, Lin Ruhai and his wife are not vulgar. Jia Min took pity on Miaoyu's desolate life experience, and not only allowed Miaoyu to practice in the Lin family temple, but also treated Miaoyu very well.

Now, after hearing her daughter's request, Jia Min thought, "Help people to the end, and send Buddha to the west", so she nodded and accepted the matter.

After a few days, Jia Min bought theater wine and invited some female relatives of good officials and officials to come to Lin's house to have fun, then invited Miaoyu out and introduced Miaoyu to the wives and ladies.

Miaoyu was aloof and aloof. Jia Min was worried that Miaoyu would say something inappropriate and offend these female relatives, but she didn't expect that Miaoyu had undergone earth-shaking changes in just over a month!

After Miaoyu put on red makeup, she seemed to be a different person. Although she was still aloof and lofty, her temperament was a little more tactful. Miaoyu was smart and beautiful, with extraordinary conversation, and she was also a "Queen of Loyalty". She was very popular with these ladies .

Looking at the warm smile on Miaoyu's face, Jia Min felt deeply moved...

Miaoyu's arrogance and aloofness are partly inborn, and partly acquired, caused by a rough life experience.

Before Chu Zhe's case was cleared, Miaoyu, who was living in Buddhism, could not see her own future, so she acted rashly without any scruples.

Miaoyu is an extremely intelligent woman, so she naturally knows that her words and deeds have offended many people, but she has not made herself smooth, not because she can't, but because she doesn't want to.

At that time, Miaoyu thought like this: "My whole life is just like this. If this is the case, why should I integrate into the secular world and make myself unhappy?"

Now, Chu Zhe's injustice has been rehabilitated. Miaoyu's younger brother Tianyou, who she thought she would never see again, has returned to Miaoyu's side. .

For Miaoyu, since life has hope again, it can no longer be the same as before.

Furthermore, Miaoyu didn't want to embarrass her parents and make her parents who had passed away for more than ten years feel ashamed because of herself.

Miaoyu used to blame her parents for sending her to Buddhism, but now, Miaoyu no longer complains, and she is extremely ashamed for having such thoughts.

For Miaoyu, nothing is more important than her parents. On the day she returned to vulgarity, Miaoyu swore in her heart that she would never let her parents' reputation be ashamed because of her. For this reason, Miaoyu is willing to do anything!

Looking at Miaoyu who was talking about Buddhist scriptures with an old lady with a sincere smile on her face, Jia Min had a thought in his heart...

Daiyu and Miaoyu have a very good relationship. Daiyu has only an elder brother and no sisters. In Daiyu's heart, she treats Miaoyu as her own sister.

Seeing that Miaoyu has been recognized by all the wives, Daiyu is happy for Miaoyu in her heart, but she is still worried about Miaoyu.

Miaoyu's appearance, talent and learning are all outstanding, even Daiyu can't help herself. Also, although the Chu family has fallen, they are called "loyal" by the Supreme Emperor, and they have a good reputation.

It stands to reason that although Miaoyu is slightly older, it should not be difficult to marry, but...

"There are five things not to take from a woman: don't take away sons from rebellious families, don't take away sons from disordered families, don't take away from criminals in the world, don't take away from people with serious diseases, and don't take away the eldest son of a widow." —— "The Book of Rites of the Great Dai. Benming"

Both of Miaoyu's parents died since she was a child, and she converted to Buddhism. She had no mother to teach her, so she was regarded as "the eldest son of a bereaved wife" and included in the "five don'ts".

Knowledge can be taught by oneself, but housekeeping and communication needs to be taught by female elders. Miaoyu has no mother to teach, no matter how well she behaves, no one would dare to order Miaoyu for her son because of this.

For such a situation, Miaoyu had already expected it and didn't care.

Seeing that Daiyu was worried about herself, Miaoyu comforted Daiyu, saying: "Father's grievances have been cleared up, and Tianyou has also returned to the capital. Father's blood has not been cut off. I have nothing to desire in this life. Even if I can't get married, So what, as early as ten years ago, I have been thinking of being alone for the rest of my life, now, I have a younger brother, and I will have a nephew in the future, and this family can still lose a bowl of rice for me, I am very content."

When Daiyu heard this, she felt very uncomfortable. Daiyu left the gate of Chu's house without saying a word, and went back to Lin's house.

When Daiyu arrived at Lin's mansion, she entered the gate with ease. As she walked in, Daiyu asked Lin Ruhai and Jia Min if they were there and what they were doing.

The housekeeper replied: "The master is still in the palace, and the wife is studying in the main courtyard."

After hearing this, Daiyu went to the main courtyard.

Jia Min was very happy when she saw her daughter, but she blamed her: "Why are you back? You have been back six times this month, and you have stayed for three days. Although my uncle has a good temper, you can't make progress!"

Jia Min has had a daughter, Daiyu, in this life. According to Jia Min's thoughts, he naturally hopes to see her daughter every day. separated.

Daiyu smiled and said: "Our master said that he had no parents since he was a child. You and his father brought him up. The master is like a father, and the teacher's wife is like a mother. I came to you not to go back to my mother's house, but to replace us. My grandfather came here to show his filial piety."

Jia Min felt itchy when he heard this, so he stretched out his hand and patted Daiyu's head.

Daiyu felt the pain, covered her head and said, "Brother Yue's temperament, you don't understand, he doesn't care about such things at all."

Jia Min was very speechless, but knew what Daiyu said was right, sighed, and said, "Meeting my uncle is a blessing in your life. Be nice to my uncle, don't patronize yourself to play."

In Jia Min's eyes, Daiyu will always be a child. Jia Min took Daiyu's hand, asked again, and then asked: "Why are you back, don't say you miss me, I just sent you Drive away!"

Daiyu grabbed Jia Min's arm and began to act cute, saying coquettishly, "Mom, you have four sons, but only one daughter. Do you want to have another daughter?"

Jia Min already had immunity. While enjoying her daughter's acting like a baby, she snorted coldly: "Speak directly, don't play with your mother!"

Daiyu put away her smile, talked about the predicament Miaoyu was facing in a low voice, and then said: "You know Sister Miao's appearance, even if she is a daughter, she can't help herself, don't you also like Sister Miao very much?" According to my daughter's thoughts, let Sister Miao marry our family, and Sister Miao will be more confident."

Jia Min listened and shook his head slightly.

When Daiyu saw her, she was startled and asked suspiciously, "You don't like Sister Miao?"

Jia Min shook her head again and said, "Sister Miao, this child has a bleak life experience and is loved by others. How could I not like it?"

Daiyu then asked, "Then why don't you want to?"

There was a smile on the corner of Jia Min's mouth, and he said softly: "You also said that I have given birth to four sons and one daughter in my life. Qian'er, Cheng'er, Zhun'er, and you are all married, but Nuo'er is about to die." Twenty years old, but still alone..."

It stands to reason that Lin Nuo is the youngest son of Lin Ruhai, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

However, the actual situation is that Lin Nuo is almost 20 years old, but he is still alone.

Lin Nuo's joining the army and being far away from the border is one reason, but not the whole reason...

This dynasty is neither "emphasizing civil and military affairs", nor "emphasizing military and despising literature", but "emphasizing both civil and military affairs". Therefore, there is no question of who suppresses the other between civil officials and generals.

However, there is a saying in the world that "civilian and military commanders have different ways". If it is not for special reasons - such as political marriage - civil servants and military generals will not get married.

Lin Nuo, the youngest son of Lin Ruhai, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is extremely talented. He graduated from high school when he was only 14 years old.

As a result, Lin Nuo's marriage had many twists and turns.

The Lin family had been passed down for several generations, but from Lin Qian's generation, the population began to prosper. Before Lin Qian got married, Lin Ruhai changed the family rules so that the Lin family sons were not allowed to take concubines.

Jia Min also didn't want his inner house to become smoky, and he agreed with this family rule.

Therefore, when choosing a daughter-in-law for his son, Jia Min is very picky. When choosing a daughter-in-law, he must not only have a good family background, but also have a good education, a good appearance, and good everything... A woman with a few words, or an ordinary-looking woman, will live a lifetime.

Except when Lin Qian married his daughter-in-law, because Yuan Chun entered the palace, there were some twists and turns. Lin Cheng and Lin Zhun's marriage went smoothly...

But now, Daiyu, who is a few years younger than Lin Nuo, is already married, but Lin Nuo's daughter-in-law doesn't even have a shadow!

Over the years, Jia Min has fallen in love with several girls successively. They are all good girls with both talents and looks. Jia Min is very satisfied, but the parents of these girls are not satisfied with Lin Nuo.

Jia Min's vision is very high, and the girls that Jia Min likes are all girls who have been cultivated by generations of scholarly families.

In the eyes of these aristocratic families, Lin Nuo was a guy who "willed to degenerate" and a "martial artist" who insulted the title of "scholar"!

Also, although the Lin family is very popular nowadays, these aristocratic families are not optimistic about the future of the Lin family.

Therefore, Jia Min has been unable to find a satisfactory wife, and Lin Nuo's marriage has been delayed again and again, until now, Lin Nuo is almost 20 years old.

Originally, Jia Min did not consider making Miaoyu his daughter-in-law, because although Jia Min felt pity for Miaoyu's bleak life experience, she felt that Miaoyu's temperament would not only fail to help her husband manage the inner house, but would also give her husband cause trouble.

However, Miaoyu's performance after returning to vulgarity made Jia Min look at Miaoyu with admiration.

Because Daiyu and Miaoyu have a very good relationship, Jia Min, for the sake of his daughter, not only introduced Miaoyu to the wives, but also brought Miaoyu with him to teach housekeeping and communication, which should be taught by female elders.

Miaoyu is a very intelligent girl, she has a photographic memory, and draws inferences from one instance to another. Under Jia Min's teaching, Miaoyu matures quickly, which makes Jia Min very satisfied.

At this moment, Jia Min came up with the idea of ​​making Miaoyu Lin Nuo's wife, because Miaoyu was beautiful, knowledgeable, smart and studious, and she was one of the best girls Jia Min had ever met!

However, thinking of Miaoyu's family background and Miaoyu's "wife and eldest daughter", Jia Min hesitated a little.

Just when Jia Min was hesitating, Lin Ruhai's words made Jia Min no longer hesitate. Lin Ruhai said that there will be a war in northern Xinjiang, and Lin Nuo wants to go to the battlefield!

Jia Min didn't want to give Lin Nuo a daughter-in-law who didn't have a common language, and he didn't dare not marry Lin Nuo a wife.

In this way, Jia Min decided to assign Miaoyu to Lin Nuo. Anyway, it is only natural for a mother-in-law to teach her daughter-in-law. Miaoyu is not a stupid person. Although Miaoyu is a little lacking in housekeeping, it can be done quickly.

However, Miaoyu's talent cannot be taught no matter how much she teaches!

After hearing Jia Min's words, Daiyu was startled for a moment, and then asked: "Sister Miao's family background... Will father agree?"

Jia Min smiled and said, "Your father admires Master Chu, and has already agreed."

Daiyu was very happy when she heard this, and said: "Sister Miao is very talented, and she is very suitable for fourth brother. I wanted to recognize a sister, but now I have a sister-in-law!"

The author has something to say: Has any girl guessed it?

Hehe, the reason why I asked Lin Nuo to join the army is to leave this "talented and handsome man" with both civil and military skills to Miaoyu...

ps: Originally, because of Miaoyu's family background, there was no hope for Lin Nuo at all. However, Lin Nuo joined the army and was about to go to war. Lin Nuo arrived in Miaoyu's bowl.
