The Red Mansion Becomes Lin Daiyu

After a war, Lin Ruhai was conferred both a title and an official, plus his daughter was named princess, and the capital has grown from a commoner to an aristocrat. Which one is not full of admiration when you mention it?I wish I could also put on a strong and sharp head, and fight with millions of handsome lions to my heart's content.After the court meeting that day, the emperor personally wrote the plaque "Edict to build the British Duke's Mansion" and sent it, and ordered land to be allocated on both sides of the Lin Mansion to expand according to the specifications of the Duke's Mansion.Lin Ruhai ordered someone to hang up a plaque, and went into the palace to thank her without mentioning it.

In the past few days, the British government can be described as busy and bustling with people. Lin Ruhai only met a few old acquaintances, and all the others declined on the grounds of being busy.Apart from going to the palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, Lin Daiyu just stayed in her yard and sent the earthen rituals brought from the south of the Yangtze River to the families of some old friends.The third princess came to play a few times. Hu Xiaodie has been married for more than a year. Hearing that Lin Daiyu has returned to Beijing, she also came to visit.

A few days ago, her husband let go of his foreign job, and it happened that Hu Xiaodie was pregnant and couldn't go with her, so she had to stay in Beijing to raise her baby, so she proposed her personal servant girl named Xing'er as the housekeeper, and went with her husband My son went to work.Lin Daiyu could not help but sigh.

Hu Xiaodie explained that she was pregnant and couldn't serve her husband. Even if she didn't mention her maid, she couldn't keep other maids from thinking about it. Instead of doing that, it's better to promote a trustworthy girl. Anyway, the maid's contract of prostitution is in her own hands. , I'm not afraid that she will turn upside down!

For this statement, Lin Daiyu disagrees, but also wants to try to change Hu Xiaodie's mind.She, Lin Daiyu, is not a savior, and she doesn't dream of changing the world all day long.After all, the education she received was different since she was a child, so it is understandable for Hu Xiaodie to have such thoughts, but for her, as long as she keeps her heart, it is enough.

Recently, there have been rumors in various prefectures in the capital that there are more young masters in the British prefecture who think they are the son of an old friend of the Duke of the State, and they are brought up in the Lin Mansion.He only looks like five or six years old, and he receives guests with Lin Guogong.There were also private rumors that it was Lin Guogong's illegitimate son. There were countless speculations. These words inevitably reached the ears of Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu, and they both laughed it off.

At this time, the rumored protagonist is wearing a red brocade robe, sitting on a chair with his legs up and eating wine?Little fleshy legs, trying to make such difficult movements, paired with that fat bun face, no matter how you look at it, it's funny.

Lin Daiyu couldn't help frowning and scolded: "Sa Zi, if you don't come down, who did you learn this rascal look from!"

The child was put down in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Master, where have you been, I miss it so much!"

Lin Daiyu was amused by his words, and said sharply: "Where did you learn this messy thing when you were young, you are not allowed to go out and wander around!" I learned the common sense of life very quickly, but I also learned a lot of messy things. It seems that I really can't care about it.

Sa Zi protested with a bitter face, but Lin Daiyu was determined this time, and she would not waver even if he flattered and acted like a baby.No matter what, the child cannot be saved.Sa Zi had no choice but to walk back to her room with her head bowed.

Time flies, and at the end of the year, all the governments are busy giving gifts. Lin Daiyu doesn't like these exchanges, so she entrusts Honglian to handle all the matters.I only read, write and write every day, and think about food in my spare time.Sometimes when Shui Rui came over, the two of them would go into the space to cultivate together, and their days were very carefree.

Now that Shui Rui is the crown prince, he naturally wants to participate in the government affairs, and he doesn't come to the Lin mansion as frequently as before.Fortunately, the emperor was not yet familiar with many things because the crown prince entered the court relatively young, so he asked Lin Ruhai to give more advice.With this excuse, Shui Rui often went to the Lin Mansion to ask for advice, but it is not known whether it was because of drunkenness or not.

On the contrary, a few older princes saw this and thought they had caught him. They got entangled with their mother and concubine, and recommended a recently favored one, cryptically speaking like the emperor, saying that the crown prince had an affair with an important minister in the court. The emperor listened. He walked away in a huff, and called the princes to admonish him, and revealed his intention to give the prince the seat of Zen.

Only then did the princes realize that the relationship between the emperor and the prince cannot be adjusted, so they had to rest their excessive thoughts.In terms of status, the prince was the highest born, and in terms of ability, he was second to none among the brothers. To surrender to him, the princes are convinced from the bottom of their hearts.The reason why I made this incident is to test the emperor's bottom line, to see if I still have a chance, and now I know the outcome.With the trust of the emperor, the loyalty of all the ministers, and the support of Lin Guogong and the generals, Shui Rui's position as the crown prince is unbreakable.If you are still obsessed with something that is doomed to be impossible, then you have no brains.The princes were born in the palace from an early age, and what they heard and seen were those intrigues, who was stupid?

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor sealed the pen, and the officials of all ministries also gave each of them a seven-day holiday. Lin Ruhai and her daughter dealt with the accounts accumulated for a year with her daughter, or checked the things sent by various farms.On the eve of New Year's Day, the emperor held celebration ceremonies and sacrificial activities in the palace, such as offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors, etc. Lin Ruhai, as a Beijing official, naturally wanted to participate.

It was the New Year's Eve in a hurry, and the Spring Festival couplets and other things given by the emperor had been sent to various princes' mansions, and Shui Rui also sent people to send a lot of fireworks and firecrackers.Lin Daiyu ordered all the maids and servants to put up the Spring Festival couplets. Once everything had been put away, Sa Zi was summoned. They had a New Year's Eve dinner together and sat on the kang to watch the new year.

Until the faint sound of firecrackers came from outside, Lin Daiyu brought Sa Zi to her father as a New Year's greeting, and each of them received a substantial red envelope.The maids came to pay New Year's greetings to Lin Daiyu again, but the latter waved her hand and said no, and asked Honglian to distribute the purses she had prepared to the girls. Everyone came to thank her happily and said a lot of auspicious words.

After celebrating the Chinese New Year, Lin Daiyu ordered Honglian to go to the second gate to call some young servants, and to set off some firecrackers in the Yuyuan to blow up evil spirits.Hong Lian promised to go, but Lu Lotus pouted and said, "Girl wants to listen to firecrackers, so why bother, just leave it to me!"

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu asked someone to bring firecrackers to her.The green lotus root was picked up happily, but it couldn't help trembling when it was lit, and it didn't dare to get close after stretching it several times.All the maids laughed together, and Lin Daiyu also laughed and said: "Stop making trouble, you haven't lighted that thing, it won't be fun if you get hurt."

After hearing this, Lv Lotus slowly backed away, just as Hong Lian came with a few servants, all the maids retreated one after another, standing on the eaves of the veranda, covering their ears and watching, there was another burst of laughter.Lin Daiyu asked Honglian to bring the purse to the servants, and brought her maids to the main hall. After paying homage to the ancestors, she took Sazi to have dinner with her father and drank Tusu wine.

Every New Year's Day, a large-scale court meeting will be held in the palace, and the emperor will be congratulated by all the officials, which is the so-called "righteous battle".Officials from all ministries were required to be present, and Lin Ruhai went to the palace after eating.Lin Daiyu went back to her own yard, Sa Zi waved off the maids following her in a decent manner, walked into the inner room and said: "Master, it's New Year's Day today, it's very lively outside, how about we go out and enjoy it?"

Lin Daiyu laughed and said, "Let's go with the excitement outside, what does it have to do with us?" She knew what Sa Zi said was the truth, and every New Year's Day there was a lot of excitement from the palace to the market.In the early morning of this day, every family has to get up early, freshen up, put on new clothes, visit relatives and friends, and bless each other.

Lin Daiyu released her spiritual sense and saw that the streets were decorated with lanterns and festoons, and there were colorful sheds everywhere, displaying hats, jewelry, clothes, toys and other commodities, Yingying Yanyan, many women went to watch.There are also dance halls and song halls, and there is an endless stream of cars and horses.On this day, even a woman can show her face in public, and it will not be considered indecent, but she is not interested in it.

Sa Zi climbed onto the kang, snatched the book from Lin Daiyu's hand, and complained with a wrinkled face, "Master, I haven't been out for a few days, and if I stay any longer, I'm going to get moldy!"

Lin Daiyu knew that Sa Zi was bored as soon as she heard it, so she couldn't help laughing, rubbed his face, and said with a smile: "How many times have I told you, I want to call you sister. I'm doing it for your own good, if your identity is leaked Don’t blame me for not reminding you if you roast it and eat it!”

Sa Zi twisted her neck and hummed: "There are no outsiders here."

Lin Daiyu knew that although Sa Zi had cultivated into a human body, she still had the habit of an eagle in the final analysis, and being forced to stay at home for a few days was almost reaching her limit.Everything must be controlled, restraining him too much is not good.Then he smiled and said: "Okay, you go, don't say I'm holding you back, just come back before dinner." He said: "Take some family members with you!"

Sa Zi shook her head repeatedly after hearing this, he is not an ordinary child, can he get lost?Bringing people will only be cumbersome, it is better to play freely by yourself.Lin Daiyu knew this, she didn't force her, she just let her go.

Lin Ruhai, as an upstart in the imperial court, was at the height of his power, and since New Year's Day, there was a lot of traffic in front of the Lin Mansion.The number of people who came to visit, ranging from princes and grandchildren to officials raising sons, was really in an endless stream, which was several times that of previous years.There are also many only daughters who have taken a fancy to Lin Ruhai and asked their wives to visit and find out about the situation.Lin Daiyu received one or two at the beginning, but later she simply said she was sick and disappeared.I personally prepared the gifts for the Queen Mother and the Third Prince, and handed over the others to Honglian for purchase.

In the royal study of the palace, Shui Rui cupped his hands and said, "Father, when will you issue the edict?"

The emperor leisurely dipped his pen into the ink, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, and said with an innocent face: "What edict do you want to issue?"

"..." Shui Rui was speechless, all the sentimental servants just said were in vain, father, you didn't understand at all, you are lying!

The emperor is still there, "If you don't say anything about the imperial edict, how can I issue it?"

Shui Rui knelt down and kowtowed deeply, looking up at the emperor, "Father, please stop teasing me. When will the edict for marriage be issued?" There is no longer any delay, otherwise, everyone else will go His wife's family proposed marriage...

The Emperor Nianxu laughed and said: "Get up quickly, come here to argue with me over the matter of giving you a marriage, what's the proper way? Don't worry, your princess can't run away. I have discussed with Ruhai, and I will go to Shangyuan The imperial edict under the festival is the best, so why are you in a hurry!" The girl of the Lin family was also considered to be the one he watched and grew up with, she had nothing to say about her character and appearance, she and Rui'er were a match made in heaven.It was a predetermined matter, but Rui'er was in such a hurry.

He had considered this marriage a few years ago, was he afraid that Ru Hai would disagree at the beginning?But she never expected that Rui'er is an infatuated person, saying that she will only marry Lin girl in this life, and even willing to give up the right to inherit the throne.He was also shocked and angry when he first heard about this. Rui'er is his heir who valued, and the ancient emperors are not the Sangong Sixth Court.The sole favor of the harem has always been the source of disasters, so he naturally does not allow it.He didn't expect Rui'er to be so stubborn this time, he knew that his son was like his father, he knew that Rui'er was determined to fall in love with Lin girl this time.

Alas, no matter what, Lin Yatou is a virtuous and courteous person, and she does things well. Even if she is alone, she won't cause trouble like Daji Feiyan.Although he is an emperor, he also has emotions and desires. He really likes the two children, and he can't do such a thing as breaking up the couples, so he just fulfills them!

Shui Rui got up and smiled and said, "It's not that I'm anxious, but that many powerful families in Beijing are thinking about Yu'er? If you don't issue your imperial edict, I will feel uneasy!"

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "Thinking about these things all day long, I think you will be afraid of guilt when you get married in the future."

Shui Rui lowered his head but smiled without speaking.

The emperor sighed helplessly, and asked again: "Have you finished approving the memorial for you?"

"It's all approved, Father, do you want to review it again?" Shui Rui asked someone to bring the memorial that he had approved.

The emperor looked through them one by one, and seeing that the annotations made were extremely appropriate, he couldn't help but secretly nodded.He just likes Rui'er's intelligence. Although he has not been in the court for a long time, he is already quite proficient in government affairs.Act decisively, make correct decisions, and have a clear understanding of the government. He is indeed a born king.It is indeed the great fortune of the imperial court and the great fortune of the common people to have such a crown prince!It is impossible to say that a prosperous age comparable to the Han and Tang Dynasties can be created. If so, he will be able to meet his ancestors safely after a hundred years.

Busy and busy, it's the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye. Today, Lin Daiyu and the maids are looking at the newly delivered lanterns.Suddenly the door official came to report that the chief eunuch came to pass the decree, which made all the maids flustered, but Dulin Daiyu was still indifferent. She had already got the news in advance, knowing that today is the day when the emperor issued an edict to grant the marriage.Then he ordered everyone to put up the incense table, and asked people to go to the outer study to inform Lin Ruhai, and he himself took people to the middle gate to welcome the imperial decree.
