Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

In late autumn, on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, an official ship sailed slowly on the river. A young girl about eleven or twelve years old was sitting in the window of the cabin. She was wearing a blue satin jacket and a white satin skirt. Eyebrows, looking intently at the vast, cloudless scenery outside the window.

The door opened with a "squeak", and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl came in, wearing a lavender jacket and a double bun. Seeing this scene, she hurriedly put down the tea tray in her hand, closed the window, and took the cloak for her. The girl put it on: "The girl's illness is better, why are you sitting by the window again? It's not fun to catch the wind."

Lin Wanru sighed softly, turned around, and said, "Where are you from?"

Long Yan smiled and said: "I just came from my aunt, and my aunt asked me if the girl had taken the medicine and slept well at night, but Zeng coughed again. I replied and went to make ginger soup for the girl."

Lin Wanru said, "Did you ask someone to visit my sister?"

Long Yan said: "Suoyu went there and hasn't come back yet."

As soon as the words were finished, the door was opened again, and another fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in a blue jacket came in, she shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's October, and it's colder than the winter in our place."

Long Yan hurriedly took a coat and put it on for her, and said with a smile: "It's cold in the north, and it's on the water, so just wear more, because you can dress up so smartly, if you're sick, no one will take care of you."

Lin Wanru said, "Is my sister better?"

Suoyu hurriedly said: "The eldest girl is much better, she sweated, and she is sleeping now. When I passed by, Sister Zijuan and Mother Wang took care of her."

Going back to the words of cage smoke: "The girl said that she wanted to drink porridge every day for a while, and she was getting tired of it, so I went to find Mother Xia to get some delicious food for the girl. I didn't know it was so cold."

Lin Wanru smiled and said, "That's really hard work for you."

Long Yan smiled and said: "Miss has said so many things, you just remember these, it seems that you only have one word in your heart."

All three of them laughed, and Suoyu was also a little embarrassed, and said with feigned anger: "The food will be served later, don't eat it."

Lin Wanru is the concubine daughter of Master Lin Ruhai from the Yangzhou Salt Department. Because she was sick since she was a child, she lived with her biological mother, Aunt Shen, at her home in Suzhou, and did not follow Lin Ruhai to Yangzhou to take up the post.

Unexpectedly, not long ago, Lin Ruhai was seriously ill, so he took this daughter over from Suzhou, and saw her for the last time. At the same time, Lin Ruhai's prostitute, Lin Daiyu, who lived in her grandmother's house in Beijing and abroad since she was a child, hurried back.

The family reunion did not make Lin Ruhai's illness better, but after half a month of suffering, he passed away. With the help of Jia Lian, the second master of the Jia family who escorted Lin Daiyu back, Aunt Shen took two young girls to handle Lin Ruhai's illness. For the funeral, send his coffin back to his hometown in Suzhou.

Lin Daiyu got Jia Mu's words, and still wanted to return to the capital. Aunt Shen wanted to stay in Suzhou with Lin Wanru, but Lin Daiyu disagreed, saying that since they were a family, why should they be separated, and they must go to Beijing together, Aunt Shen couldn't insist, so she had to promise.

Just when she was about to set off, Lin Daiyu was seriously ill due to her sadness and hard work a while ago. She should have stayed here to recuperate. Unexpectedly, there was another news in Beijing that Jia Yuanchun, the daughter of Jia’s parents, had been named the Minister of Fengzao Palace. , was named a Xiande concubine, and was granted permission to visit relatives.

For this grand event, the group had to set off in a hurry, and Lin Daiyu had to recuperate on the ship. Jia Lian took care of all the outside affairs, and Aunt Shen concentrated on taking care of Lin Daiyu.

Unexpectedly, the weather gets colder the further you go north, Lin Wanru is not acclimatized for a while, and also suffers from the wind and cold, Aunt Shen is so busy that she wishes to be separated into two bodies, now that Lin Wanru's condition is better, she puts all her thoughts on Lin Daiyu .

After dinner, Lin Wanru went to visit Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu was leaning on the bed and drinking medicine. Aunt Shen sat beside her and said: "...According to the itinerary, we will be there in three or four days. Nothing big is as good as The girl's body is important..."

Seeing Lin Wanru coming in, Aunt Shen hurriedly got up and held her hand: "It's windy at night, why are you here? Did you wear a cloak? Your hands are so cold, why don't you use a hand stove?"

Lin Daiyu saw it, and thought of her biological mother, Jia Shi, who passed away early, feeling sad and full of envy, Lin Wanru smiled and said: "I haven't seen my sister for a day, come and see her."

Said and sat on the side of the bed: "Is my sister better?"

Lin Daiyu said: "Sister, don't worry, I'm much better, and now I don't have a cough anymore. I heard from my aunt two days ago that my sister is also sick. Has it ever recovered?"

Lin Wanru smiled and said: "It's just that the climate is not acclimatized, it's already healed, it's really cold here in the north, did my sister also feel that the climate was not acclimatized when she first went to Beijing?"

Lin Daiyu nodded with a smile, and said: "That's right, it's said that there are different customs in ten miles. I didn't get used to everything from the south to the north for a while, but now it's better. I'm used to living in the north, but I'm not used to it when I go back to the south. "

Several people laughed and talked about the different customs on both sides.

Aunt Shen smiled and said: "Speaking of this, I remembered it. When we arrived in the capital, the girl lived in Jia's mansion and said that it was reasonable to visit relatives. It would not be suitable for us to live there. I thought about renting a place outside." Living in the courtyard can also save the girl a lot of trouble, when you want to see each other, either the girl comes or we go, it's cheaper for both."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "Aunt, don't worry too much. Grandmother will definitely keep my aunt and sister to stay. Jia's family is a big family. Don't they even have a house for guests? The second aunt's sister, Aunt Xue, lives with her son and daughter now. In the mansion, why can't my aunt? Aren't my aunt and younger sister considered relatives?"

Aunt Shen wanted to say something else, but Lin Wanru hurriedly said: "My sister is right, so Auntie just listen to her, the world is very chaotic now, we orphans and widows live outside, it is inevitable to cause trouble, although the princes of the government It's difficult to get in, but there is someone to rely on, so I won't be bullied by others."

Lin Daiyu said: "It is for this reason that I promised my father that I would take care of my aunt and sister, but now my aunt is going to move out again, so I can't bear it."

Aunt Shen couldn't say no, so she had no choice but to agree.

Lin Wanru wanted to live in Jia's house because she was afraid of being bullied. Speaking of which, the golden nest and the silver nest were not as good as her own grass nest. Although the Jia family was good, but after all, it was under the fence of others, and there was a lot of grievances in it.

But before his father died, he handed over all of the Lin family's property to the second master Lian for safekeeping. Lin Wanru thought that the second master Lian was smart and capable, but not a kind person, and his sister was soft-hearted, so it was inevitable that he would not be deceived. It's not what she wants to see. She and her aunt will live in together. With my aunt, she is finally an elder by her side. Jia Whatever method one wants to use must be weighed and weighed.

You judges may be surprised, Lin Wanru is a 12-year-old girl, how can she think so much? Speaking of it, this Lin Wanru is not that Lin Wanru. In her previous life, Lin Wanru was the only daughter of a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou. Wan Guan gave her a dowry, but she fell in love with Wan Lin, Wan's eldest son.

The Wan family is an imperial businessman who is the best at calculating. Seeing that Lin Wanru has money by his side, he proposes in every possible way to become the wife of the house. She deceived Lin Wanru's dowry with sweet words. Lin Wanru was so infatuated that she paid for her life by mistake. Later, when the Wan family was killed, in order to protect herself, she handed over a divorce letter and handed over Lin Wanru's dowry on the grounds that she had no children. Just like Hugh abandoned, he married another daughter of the magistrate of Yangzhou to start.

Lin Wanru left in despair, hated Wanlin's ruthlessness, and felt guilty towards her parents. On another wedding night of Wanlin's, she hanged herself with a rope at the door of Wan's house.

She thought she was bound to die, but unexpectedly she came back from the dead and was reborn on Suzhou Lin Wanru's body.

From being unbelievable at the beginning to slowly accepting it, she has now adapted to her current status. She secretly swears that in this life, she must be filial to her parents, protect her relatives, and never repeat the same mistakes and be trapped by love. Now that her father and mother-in-law have passed away, she The only relatives left are her elder sister Lin Daiyu and Aunt Shen, the biological mother, and all she wants is for the two to be safe and well.

Now that she sees that Lin Daiyu is going to follow her old path in her previous life, how can she not be in a hurry.

She also heard Lin Daiyu mention Jia Baoyu, the cousin of Jia's family. She heard Lin Daiyu's tone, but she was a gentle, meticulous, considerate Mr. Pianpianjia. She saw Lin Daiyu's blushing cheeks and The corners of his lips curled up involuntarily, and he remembered himself in his previous life. At that time, he was also so infatuated. Wan Lin was gentle in every possible way in order to impress him. So what happened in the end?It can be seen that men are not trustworthy.

The boat traveled for another three or four days before it landed, and changed to a carriage again. After bumping for a long time, it finally reached the city in time for darkness. The Jia family got the news that someone had come to welcome them. Lin Wanru looked at his servants, Behavior, I can't help nodding secretly, after all, it's a big family, these rules are always good.

The leader among those who came to pick him up was Xing'er, who was Jia Lian's confidant. At this time, he didn't care about being outside, so he talked about family affairs: "When the second master was away, Grandma Xiao Rong died in Dongfu. The uncle hired the second mistress to help manage the house for a while, and there is no dissatisfaction in the house, but it has given the second master a face, and now for the elder girl's family, the wife relies on the second mistress even more."

Jia Lian couldn't help sneering: "Admit? On the surface, I don't know how to scold."

Xing'er lowered his head and dared not speak, Jia Lian looked at the two carriages behind and said, "I wrote a letter about the Lin family, what did the old lady and his wife say?"

Xing'er hurriedly said: "The old lady said that although she is only the daughter and aunt of the concubine, she is the serious master of the Lin family. Miss Lin's blood relatives should be well received. She has asked the second grandmother to vacate the Xunfangzhai, and sent another People are serving, everything is done properly, and the wife didn't say anything."

Jia Lian said: "That's right. I looked at it coldly. The mother and daughter of the Lin family looked friendly, but they were not fuel-efficient lamps. Now the house is getting more and more lively."

Xing'er scratched his head and smiled, "Who said it wasn't? Second Master Bao was so happy when he heard that Second Master and Miss Lin had returned. He would ask four or five times a day if Younger Sister Lin had returned."

Jia Lian laughed: "Now there are two sisters Lin."
