The Red Mansion Becomes Lin Daiyu

--

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and Lin Ruhai's appointment was officially confirmed.It can be said that the Lin Mansion has been full of traffic and bustle these days, which is in stark contrast to the sluggish scene of the previous few days.Even some officials who had never heard of it before came to visit the Lin Mansion on the grounds of congratulations.Of course, Jia's mansion is also indispensable in this. Lin Daiyu has no way of knowing what happened to Mrs. Wang, but Jia's mother sent people to send a lot of congratulatory gifts. Jia Zheng and Jia She even came to Lin's mansion in person. , Support each other and the like.

Lin Ruhai has been busy receiving these people for the past few days, even Lin Daiyu has no leisure, and some people from the back house come to join in the fun.Some officials specially brought their wives to visit. Fortunately, Lin Daiyu was still young, so no one said anything excessive.On the contrary, Aunt Chen has made a lot of money these days. It turned out that she was a little confused about the situation. Seeing that there was only one aunt in the backyard of the Lin Mansion, she thought she was Lin Ruhai's favorite concubine, and they all rushed to curry favor with her. Less good stuff.Regarding this, Lin Daiyu turned a blind eye and passed by, and they wanted to send it off, but she couldn't control it.If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the steel is too strong, it will break easily. If the Lin family does not accept any gifts, Dad will not be able to get along in the officialdom, will he?But the gift list has to be sorted out by yourself, who can have nothing to do, and there is a basis for returning gifts to other people's homes.

One day, after dinner, Lin Daiyu took the gift list and said, "Daddy, this is the gift list for the past few days. My daughter thought that if she didn't accept any gifts, she would look too lonely and daddy would inevitably be rejected by others, so she acted arbitrarily." The advocate asked the housekeeper to collect some gifts, remember each one clearly, and just return it when other people have something to do in the future, so no one can say anything."

Lin Ruhai took a look at the gift list, and it was indeed very detailed. Everyone's contacts, including the date and the items they brought, remembered everything in detail. A strong sense of pride suddenly rose in her heart, her daughter is capable!

"Yu'er, I will do as you say. You also keep this gift list. If my father doesn't understand these things, I will leave it to you in the future." Lin Ruhai said.

"Okay, dad, don't worry, my daughter will never let you lose face."

"Okay, I don't care about these things as a father. By the way, daughter, how far have you practiced the exercises?" Lin Ruhai asked. Although he knew that his daughter was faster than himself in cultivation, he really didn't know how much faster.I was busy consolidating my realm a few days ago, and I have been busy these days, and I haven't learned about my daughter's cultivation situation.

"Daddy, you finally remembered to care about your daughter's exercises. I thought you had forgotten all about it?" Lin Daiyu said.

"I have always cared about it, how could I forget it? Isn't it too busy these days?" Hearing what her daughter said, Lin Ruhai felt aggrieved.

"Hehe, my daughter is already at the golden core stage, and she can protect her father in the future." Lin Daiyu said.

Only then did Lin Ruhai think: So my daughter has cultivated so fast, I can't catch up, but I'm still happy for her daughter, after all, the greater her ability is, the stronger her self-protection ability will be, so she doesn't have to worry about being bullied in the future.However, he still pretended to be sad and said: "Oh, I am getting old, I can't catch up with you, and I will rely on my daughter to protect me as a father in the future."

Seeing Lin Ruhai pretending to be serious, Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing, straightened her face and said: "Daddy is not old at all, and after practicing the exercises, he will become younger and younger. How can he say he is old?"

"Why not old? My father is almost 50 years old. But daughter, do you think you can live forever by practicing this exercise?" Originally, Lin Ruhai didn't believe it. Immortals are illusory things. Fa, also may not really be able to cultivate into a fairy.But after practicing for more than half a year, Lin Ruhai obviously feels much better physically, and seems to be much younger. Such obvious changes, even if you don't believe it, you can't do it!

"Of course, can my daughter still lie to you? Daddy, you should practice seriously, and then we will live forever together." Lin Daiyu said, it turns out that Daddy is not very convinced until now, no wonder, if I hadn't experienced so many miraculous Strange things will not be so easy to accept.

"Okay, as a father, I must practice seriously." Lin Ruhai is a free and easy person, so he doesn't care if he can live forever, but since his daughter chooses to take this path, he will definitely accompany her.

"But daughter! You said that if everyone of the same age is gray-haired in a few decades, and we are the only ones who are still young, will we be regarded as old monsters?" Lin Ruhai wanted to tease his daughter on a whim.

"Yes, Lin Daiyu suddenly realized, "How about this, Daddy, after ten or twenty years, let's go to live in seclusion, so that no one will know, Daddy won't be reluctant to bear his official position! "Lin Daiyu jokingly said, in fact, I also want to talk about Lin Ruhai's tone. In this situation, I will definitely stay away from the crowd in the future. Although I know that my father doesn't care about official positions, it still takes courage to really live in seclusion.

"That's a good idea. An official position is not as important as a good daughter. I don't want to be a father." Lin Ruhai said.

Daddy, if your words are heard by those who want to seek an official but fail, they will definitely come and beat you up, Lin Daiyu complained silently in her heart.

The father and daughter chatted for a while, and Lin Daiyu saw that it was getting late, so she retreated back to Yuyuan.After the maids all retreated, Lin Daiyu turned around and came into the space.After the space upgrade, many new plants have grown, and the original fruit trees have already been fruitful.Lin Daiyu used her mental power to control the fruits she picked a lot, and she stored them in the house in the space first, and planned to take them away when she went out later.

After doing this, Lin Daiyu came to the lake again. The leaves of the colorful holy lotus finally got rid of the appearance of duckweed and grew to the size of a child's palm. There is a branch in the middle that is obviously higher than the other leaves, giving people a feeling of standing out from the crowd.If you look carefully, the surrounding branches and leaves seem to be close together in the middle, and there is a tendency to bow down. It must be the main branch of the colorful holy lotus.

After patrolling the space, Lin Daiyu came to the wooden house again. Ever since she found that her mental power would be stronger than before after each exhaustion and self-recovery, Lin Daiyu often came to the space to exercise her mental power.Every time you are exhausted, drink some water from the space, and then take a nice bath, and you will recover soon.

Recently, Lin Daiyu is practicing the accuracy of mental power. She found a lot of wood and jade to practice carving. This is the job that can best exercise accuracy.Unexpectedly, when Lin Ruhai found out about it, he would help find materials with great fanfare. Somehow, this news reached the ears of the third prince and the eighth prince, and both of them sent people to send a large push of sandalwood, emerald, and various kinds of materials. Yushi made Lin Daiyu very depressed, and really wanted to shout: No need, I have all these in my space.Alas, too many people care about it and sometimes it is very distressing!

At this moment, Lin Daiyu was sitting in the space staring at a large pile of stones in a daze.What are you carving?By the way, let's carve a jade pendant for daddy first. What daddy is wearing now is the first purse he made after he became a female celebrity. The quality is of course not very good, and it's also old. It's time to change it. Okay, that's it. up.

Picking out a piece of emerald jade from among the many stones, Lin Daiyu condensed her mental strength and carved it carefully.One knife after another, extremely gentle and careful, a round jade pendant took shape in a short while.Lin Daiyu felt good after looking at it, so she concentrated her strength and started to carve carefully. Every stroke and every knife was very serious. After about half an hour, Lin Daiyu let out a sigh of relief, hoo, it's finally finished!

The jade pendant is a regular round shape, engraved with a jade character in Xiaozhuan, which represents Lin Daiyu's love for her father, and her father will definitely like it, Lin Daiyu thought.The bright green jade pendant was faintly shimmering, and it seemed to be of high-quality jade.Nonsense, what Lin Ruhai, the Third Prince and the Eighth Prince were looking for was high-quality jade, and it was nourished by the spring water in space, so why not blame it?

After finishing Lin Ruhai's jade pendant, Lin Daiyu thought that the third prince has always been very kind to her, and the eighth prince gave her many ancient books some time ago, and this time they sent so many jades, let's carve one for them too!

In ancient times, the unicorn represented Furui, and the Eighth Prince had a fortune teller since he was a child. Let him carve a unicorn for him, and hope his future life will be smooth.As for the third prince, let's also carve a jade pendant, isn't this very common in ancient times?

After making up my mind, I started working.With the previous experience, it will be carved in a short time.Lin Daiyu also thought that in ancient times, when meeting for the first time, gifts were always given, and in the future, when you go to other people's homes or have new friends, you will also give gifts to each other. Why don't you carve something that children like!So Lin Daiyu picked jade and carved some little rabbits, kittens and the like.

Ok, done!Lin Daiyu looked at the pile of things on the table and smiled knowingly, her eyes overflowing with joy that couldn't be concealed.Tomorrow, give the jade pendant to Daddy, and have someone send it to the Third Prince and the Eighth Prince respectively.sleep now!Thinking of Lin Daiyu, she left the space.

31 Chapter Thirty

--

Time flies, and two more springs and autumns have passed in a blink of an eye. Lin Daiyu is already over eight years old. In addition to her filial piety a few days ago, she now looks even more graceful and beautiful.Eight-year-old Lin Daiyu has shed the baby fat that is unique to children, and now has the outline of a girl, her eyes are like autumn waves, her eyebrows are like willows, and coupled with her small and delicate melon-seeded face, people can feel good at first glance, and can't help it Sigh: How can there be such a delicate and refined person in the world.

In the past two years, since Mother Jia knew that Lin Daiyu was surrounded by a nanny from the queen mother, she didn't ask for Lin Daiyu to be educated in Jia's mansion.Mother Jia saw that this method would not work, so she asked Wang Xifeng to take the Yingchun sisters to visit the Lin Mansion from time to time.Although Wang Xifeng valued profits and was sometimes too shrewd in calculations, he was still a sophisticated person. Seeing that Lin Daiyu didn't like it, he didn't make any excessive demands.Lin Daiyu's affection for her has increased a lot, and she has become acquainted with the three sisters Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun a lot.

Yingchun is honest, timid, cowardly, and Xichun is withdrawn and doesn't care about common matters. Lin Daiyu doesn't have a good impression of them, but she can't say she hates them either.It's understandable that Tanchun sometimes seems too attentive.Tanchun is arrogant and unwilling to be inferior to others, but her family background is always her flaw. It is understandable to flatter Mrs. Wang in order to gain attention in the mansion, but her disdain and contempt for her biological mother, Aunt Zhao, seems too cold up.Even though Aunt Zhao was wrong in every possible way, after all she was born, she should be respected.Alas, anyway, it's other people's business and has nothing to do with me. Fortunately, I don't care.

Recently, the capital city has been very lively. It turned out that the third princess was six years old, and it was time to marry.On the first day of this month, the emperor issued an order to select companions for the three princesses. This imperial order caused a sensation in the capital, and even the dignitaries in other provinces were ready to move.

To say that these three princesses are really lucky, although the emperor has many heirs, most of them are princes, but there are only three princesses.Although it was said that males were preferred over females in ancient times, rare things were more valuable, and the three princesses were very favored, not to mention that the third princess was the emperor's old daughter.Now that the eldest princess and the second princess have been married, there is only this little princess left in the palace, and she has been favored by all parties, even the mother of the third princess, Concubine Rong, has received a lot of attention.Lin Daiyu also met the third princess a few times at the Queen Mother's place. She is a very cute little girl. Of course, she is spoiled and sometimes willful, but her nature is not bad.

Now the only little princess in the palace is about to choose a companion to read, and those powerful people are still desperately wanting to send their daughters there.If you have a girl of the right age, you should be active. Even if there is no girl of the right age in your direct line, you have to find one in the side branch. After all, if you are the princess's companion, the chances of meeting the prince, prince and other nobles will be greatly increased. The nobleman has taken a fancy to it, and it will be of great benefit to his family.Even if you can't marry a noble person, it will be good to have a good relationship with the princess, isn't it?

Hearing that Xue Baochai was going to choose a companion with her mother and elder brother, Lin Daiyu wondered, is it so good to be a companion?It's not appropriate to be a good lady, and rush to the palace to do the job of serving people.

Before Xue Pan came, he also did something that caused a sensation in Jinling. In order to snatch a little maid, he killed a scholar and used his power to make some money. Mother came to Beijing.The judge was Jia Yucun, Lin Daiyu's teacher in A Dream of Red Mansions. Lin Daiyu was lucky again that her father didn't ask Jia Yucun to be her teacher after she came here.

One day, Lin Daiyu was reading in the yard, when suddenly Honglian came to report: "Girl, the second uncle and wife are here!"

"Take her to the living room, I'll be there later." Why did Mrs. Wang come at this time? Could it be because of choosing a reading partner?Then I can't help her, but after all, I can't see the elders.

It turned out that yesterday, Mother Jia called Mrs. Wang to the main room and said, "You already know about choosing a companion to read?" Although she was dissatisfied with what Mrs. Wang did last time, she was her daughter-in-law after all. The daughter-in-law is much more petty, and she has to do some things.

"Yes" Mrs. Wang replied.

"Who do you want to send in our house?"

"Yingchun is too young, and Xichun is too young. Besides, she is from the East Mansion. My daughter-in-law thinks that only the third girl is the most suitable. But it is not easy to get the qualification for the selection!" Mrs. Wang said deliberatively.

"That's why I asked you to come here. You did something wrong in the past. You go to the Lin Manor to apologize and see if Miss Lin can recommend Tan Chun through the Queen Mother."

Mrs. Wang was very angry when she heard it, and asked herself to apologize to the Lin Mansion, how could it be possible?But he didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Mother Jia, so he had to say: "What use is a little girl like Lin, I think it's better to let Yuan Chun circle around in the palace!"

Mother Jia became angry when she heard this, and she still has no wink until now. She hammered the bed and said, "If Yuan Chun is useful, why should I go to such trouble? If you treat me as an old woman, you have nothing to do. Yuan Chun is just a little female historian. , how can you manage this matter, there are so many nobles in the palace, it is not easy for her to survive, how do you let her deal with it."

"Then girl Lin is useful? I don't think she is as good as Yuanchun?" Mrs. Wang muttered dissatisfiedly, and she didn't know what the old lady liked about that dead girl. If she looked weak and weak, she would not have a long life. Just like her mother.He also thought that every time he came to the mansion, his son Baoyu would keep staring at that girl, and he was startled, no, Baoyu must be separated from her in the future!

"What are you muttering about?" Jiamu was angry when she saw Mrs. Wang's attitude, but she continued to say when she thought of what to do: "What do you know, Miss Lin has the favor of the Queen Mother, this matter only needs to be admitted to the palace." Just tell the queen mother, and I do this for your own good, and if the Tan girl is selected, it will be good for the mansion and your daughter."

Mrs. Wang objected: "How can it be so easy to choose? My sister's daughter Baochai will also choose to study with her. Isn't it the same if she chooses?" .

Mother Jia became angry when she heard it, can it be the same?Even if Baochai is selected, he is still from the Xue family. He has no knowledge of how close he is to our Jia family. He thinks about your sister's family all day long. No matter how rich their family is, they are businessmen.Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are at the bottom of the list, and they still want Baoyu to marry Baochai, regardless of whether they are worthy or not!Lin Ruhai is an important minister of the imperial court, even if the Lin family loses the title, it is still a powerful family, if Baoyu marries Daiyu, Lin Ruhai will take care of him in his official career in the future, then his future will be limitless, isn't it all for their benefit?Still lagging behind!

"Okay, it's settled like that, you go to Lin's house today, or you won't enter Jia's house in the future!" Mother Jia got up and left with the help of the little maid after she finished speaking, regardless of what she said. Mrs. Wang who is already petrified.

Ever since, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to accept her fate and go to the Lin Mansion, but her resentment towards Lin Daiyu couldn't help but deepened.
