Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

Early the next morning, Lin Jinyu couldn't get up. He climbed over the wall and crossed the courtyard in the middle of the night.Mr. Xu was tired from the long journey and needed rest. With a small stove in his arms, he had a good night's sleep in winter.

It was bright daylight, and the master and apprentice could barely get up to clean up.

Lin Jinyu accompanied her husband to breakfast, unaware that the maid in the courtyard woke up early in the morning and saw that the room was empty, and nearly killed half of her life from fright.

Lin Ruhai didn't care much about Lin Jinyu, he didn't blame her, but asked the two gentlemen to give Lin Jinyu more homework, so tired that Lin Jinyu even started to be nervous when going to bed, and had no time to be mischievous.

Lin Jinyu was so tired and thin, her chubby bun face thinned into a juicy peach face, and she suddenly looked a little taller.Jia Min was so distressed that she nourished her son three times a day. Lin Jinyu lived up to these red dates, longan, bird's nest and snow clams.The only unsatisfactory thing was Jia Min's body. A famous doctor came every month to ask for a pulse and prescribe prescriptions for tonic, but he was still getting weak day by day.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Jia Min coughed violently. Lin Jinyu lightly helped his mother to knock on the back, fed Jia Min a mouthful of warm water, and managed to stop it. Jia Min smiled and stroked his son's round face. One hand was dry and thin, but it made people feel warm. Lin Jinyu felt a sore throat, gritted her teeth and endured it, and said with a smile, "It's the third time I've cut new clothes this year, mother, how about my son's clothes?"

Jia Min leaned on the bed, nodded with a smile, and there was indescribable nostalgia and tenderness in her eyes, "I am an adult, I have grown taller, and I have become stronger. All right, let's go to study with my husband."

"Well, mother feels better after taking Doctor Wang's medicine?" Lin Jinyu asked.

"It's much better." Jia Min smiled, "Zi Yuan brought the medicine here, you go quickly, don't miss the time to study."

Ziyuan was holding a small mahogany tray, and the small green bowl on it contained ink-like decoction, which was bitter when one smelled it, but Jia Min was used to it, took it from his son and drank it with his head raised, rinsing. After a while, he urged Lin Jinyu to go to school.

As soon as Lin Jinyu walked into the courtyard, he heard a vague cough in the room and sighed. His butterfly just blew Jia Yucun directly to Jia's house, but it failed to change Jia Min's fate.

Mr. Xu knew about Jia Min's illness, so he wanted to give Lin Jinyu a few days off or reduce his homework, but Lin Jinyu became more and more serious, and his face was firm and steady, not like a child his age.

This is how people grow up little by little. There are some things and some truths that life will teach you.

Jia Min survived until only one bone was left, and all the family affairs were left in Daiyu's hands. Daiyu was born with delicate feelings, and she could only be happy in front of her mother, and she would inevitably cry when she returned to her room.Such a troublesome housekeeping during the day and worrying at night, my body and bones have not been healthy for a long time, and I fell ill after a lot of tossing.Lin Jinyu had no choice but to ask for leave with the two gentlemen to take over the family affairs.

Go to persuade Daiyu first, "Elder sister should also relax. My mother is already sick. If my elder sister gets sick again, it will make my mother worry even more. I don't know much about family affairs, and I am still waiting for my elder sister to take care of the house."

Lin Daiyu covered her face with a handkerchief, and her tears wet the pink brocade handkerchief little by little. There was no sound, but it made people feel even more sad. Lin Jinyu wept and said, "You should take care of yourself even for the sake of your parents. Parents should take care of themselves." The two of us, siblings, really have a good or bad relationship, but what should we do if we call them the elder?"

Lin Daiyu's voice was as thin as a gossamer, "When I saw my mother, I felt sad and couldn't stop my tears."

"Sister get better soon, I still have to count on my sister." Lin Jinyu held Lin Daiyu's hand to wipe away tears, Lin Daiyu withdrew her hand and sighed.

Jia Min's illness was getting worse day by day, the doctors shook their heads and refused to prescribe any more prescriptions, the Lin family had already secretly prepared things such as longevity materials and Mingyi, and even the servants were a bit more peaceful.

Jia Min looked at her children, just smiled, held her daughter's hand and said, "Daiyu is just too thoughtful, what can you do when you go to your grandmother's house like this?"

"My daughter doesn't go anywhere, and my daughter stays with my mother." Lin Daiyu's eyes were reddish, her head was bowed down, her frailty made people love her.

Jia Min forced a smile, with a skinny face, only a pair of bright eyes left, holding his daughter's little hand, and sighed, "What a silly child, I know my body. Life is destiny, and it cannot be forced by manpower. Listen to your mother." Said, you are a girl, you must not be taught. Although your grandparents’ family is not the same as before, but you have fathers and brothers. Our family is in Yangzhou. You are just a relative’s guest when you go. You have enough money to throw away fees. Who can say anything else about the Jia family's one tael of silver?"

Lin Daiyu just shed tears, and Jia Min continued, "I know your second aunt best. She has a compassionate face, but she is a traitor in her heart. You go, just be filial by your grandmother's side, watch more and talk less about everything. In a few years, your younger brother will go to Beijing to prepare for the exam, so you siblings must support each other."

Lin Daiyu nodded, "Mother, don't worry, my daughter will take good care of my brother."

Jia Min looked over, and Lin Jinyu hurriedly said, "Mother, my sister will follow you to take care of the housework, why don't you understand, you won't suffer."

Jia Min's death was expected. After being ill for such a long time, the ability to drag it out for half a year is already due to the good doctors and medicines of the Lin family. Even though he was psychologically prepared, it still makes people feel unbearably sad.

The whole Lin Mansion was completely white, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min had been married for more than ten years, Jia Min passed away, it was really heart-wrenching, wishing to go with his beloved wife.I just thought that the two children were still young and needed their father to take care of and teach them, and they had to support themselves to preside over the funeral.

After a funeral, Lin Ruhai looked haggard, which made people feel sad.Lin Daiyu suffered from an old disease again, and she was treated with medicine every day.

Lin Jinyu was too busy dealing with family affairs and comforting her father and sister, so she shifted her study time to evening.

Mr. Xu has no objection. Lin Jinyu's progress is already much faster than that of his peers. Many children at his age are just enlightened.According to Lin Jinyu's speed, if it goes well, he will go to the Tongsheng examination after leaving Xiaoxiao.

"For the affairs of the house, you should do what you can. If you feel tired, it's okay to stop your homework for a while." After all, Mr. Xu is a bystander, but he only said a few words of comfort.

Lin Jinyu said, "My mother is not here, so I should stand up, so that my mother will not feel at ease under the nine springs. Sir, rest earlier, and I will go back."

Lin Jinyu walked out with the book between her arms, but heard a "pounce", the sound was very soft, but it seemed to be infinitely magnified in this silent night, and a fishy smell spread out, Lin Jinyu's mind was blank, and she turned back to Mr. Xu, Shouting, "Come on, there are assassins! Help, help!"

He had never been so close to death before, the cold edge of the sword seemed to be slashing across his neck, making him feel a chill in his heart, the assassin's eyes were like ice in winter, cold and hard.That sword was as fast as lightning. Before Lin Jinyu could take a step, the sword was already in front of him. Fortunately, the assassin's target was not Lin Jinyu, and Lin Jinyu was short and only reached Mr. Xu's abdomen. The sword passed over the top of his hair , pierced Mr. Xu's neck, and sealed his throat with a sword.

Mr. Xu rolled Lin Jinyu in his arms, but the sword missed.The assassin swung his sword again, Lin Jinyu flicked his hand, and threw the plain white purse in his sleeve towards the assassin, and then a sharp light pierced the purse, spilling out a packet of pungent powder, which sprayed the assassin's head and face. No matter how determined he was, he sneezed a few times, and the sword in his hand struck... Unfortunately, he never had a chance to stab the third sword. In this split second, the handsome young man's sword pierced his neck.

The strong smell of blood permeated the whole room, Lin Jinyu's calves were shaking, she turned her head and dared not look at it.Mr. Xu got up from the ground holding Lin Jinyu, and said very calmly, "Get rid of it." It seemed to be commonplace.
