New Dream of Red Mansions

Xiyan glanced at the fluttering snow outside, and asked Chunlan with a smile, "What is Miss Lin doing?"

"Miss Lin is in charge of the housekeeper. I heard that they are preparing for the New Year's Eve gift to Jinling."

"Is there anyone else in the Lin family in Jinling?"

"It's just some old relatives, even if they haven't released the fifth clothes, the relationship is far away. I heard that in previous years, the stewardess was sent to buy them, but this year, Master Lin seems to attach great importance to them, and let Miss Lin choose the gifts herself." Chunlan She is close to Xue Yan, and the two of them can talk together the most. Xue Yan's parents are both in charge of the Lin family, so they naturally get a lot of news.

Xiyan knew that Lin Ruhai was thinking about it, but the clansmen were far away, perhaps not as good as the Jia family, at least the Jia family still had a mother Jia.

Chunlan smiled and said: "Now Miss Lin is more and more capable, Zijuan and Xueyan are too busy, Xueyan originally said that here she is still serving the girl with me just like in Jia's mansion, I didn't expect that I would help her gone."

Xiyan smiled, "It's good to learn more." The key is that you don't think too much when you are busy, and now everyone is still hiding the fact that Lin Ruhai was poisoned.

One day, Xiyan was reading a book under the tree in the backyard, when she saw Lin Ruhai helping someone slowly walking, she quickly stood up and saluted, "Uncle Lin."

Lin Ruhai stopped, panting slightly, but looked at Wang Xiyan with a smile, "What book are you reading?"

Wang Xiyan unfolded it for him to read, "It's "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" by Mr. Luo Guanzhong."

"Oh?" Lin Ruhai was slightly surprised, "I didn't expect you to like reading such a book, where did you end up?"

Wang Xiyan helped him sit down on the stone bench next to him, and the accompanying maid quickly put a cushion on the stone bench.

Wang Xiyan replied: "Seeing the battle of Chibi, Zhuge Liang wisely counted Huarong, and let Cao Cao go."

Lin Ruhai laughed, "It was Guan Gong who let Cao Cao go, how could it be Zhuge Kongming?"

"Zhuge Kongming even counted Cao Cao's thoughts so accurately, so he couldn't count Guan Gong's temperament?" Wang Xiyan put down the book and said with a smile: "What's more, Zhuge Kongming kills or captures Cao Cao, what good does it do him?"

Lin Ruhai was startled, looked carefully at Wang Xiyan, saw that she was looking at her with a smile, her eyes lit up, and asked with a smile: "Then why do you think Zhuge Kongming let Cao Cao go?"

While pouring tea for Lin Ruhai, Wang Xiyan said, "There are three advantages. Before Cao Cao was eliminated in Soochow, he wanted to get rid of Uncle Liu. Once Cao Cao died, not to mention how chaotic the Central Plains was, the first thing Soochow wanted was to get rid of Uncle Liu. To prevent future troubles, before Cao Cao is eliminated, Soochow has to keep Uncle Liu Huang, and even treat them preferentially to prevent them from forming an alliance with Cao Cao. The family has a chance to breathe. In the third time, Guan Yunchang has always been thinking about Cao Cao's kindness. Why not take advantage of this time to repay Cao Cao's kindness so that he can serve the master wholeheartedly. Otherwise, just change the order of the soldiers, for example, let Zhao Zilong Changing positions with Guan Yunchang, Cao Cao will definitely order Xiu Huarong to speak."

Admiration flashed in Lin Ruhai's eyes, "It's not easy for you to think of these things at such a young age, no wonder your father trusts you to entrust your younger brother to you." Lin Ruhai's eyes dimmed when he thought of Daiyu being alone, "It's a pity that Daiyu has no brothers or sisters. they..."

Wang Xiyan lowered her eyes, and said in a little doubt: "When I was in the capital, I heard people said that there is a method of adoption. My younger brother and I also went to Gusu through adoption. Why didn't Uncle Lin find a brother for Sister Lin? She will also have a brother from her natal family in the future." Help."

Lin Ruhai smiled wryly, how could this adoption be so good?One is not good, and her adoptive parents, brothers and sisters come to her, and Daiyu doesn't know what to suffer.

After all, the adopted ones are not as good as the biological ones, not to mention that the Lin family's descendants are weak. In his lineage, they are all relatives who can't be farther away. It's not as good as the Rongguo Mansion.

Isn't it because he is afraid of this that he has been unable to make up his mind these days?

It was a waste of his whole life to be decisive, but he was hesitant to move forward on this matter, and he refused to take another step.

How many children like Brother Xi Yanyou whose parents are dead and whose clan doesn't tolerate him?

Lin Ruhai sighed.

Wang Xiyan also sighed.

Lin Ruhai laughed and said, "What's there to sigh about at such a young age?

Regret flashed in Wang Xiyan's eyes, "It's a pity, my father is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, and he has lamented to me more than once that Zhuge Kongming's handicrafts can moisten things silently, but it's a pity that I have no family..."

Wang Xiyan seemed to realize that she was speechless, so she quickly stopped talking, smiled at Lin Ruhai, and changed the subject: "Uncle Lin, I heard that sister Lin said that there will be officials and family members from Yangzhou City as guests in a few days. Sister Lin has been so busy these days that she doesn't have time to play with me, unlike when she was in the capital..."

Talked a lot about their life in Rongguo Mansion, with the attitude of a little girl.

It's just that after Wang Xiyan took the pulse last time to send the prescription, and Wang Xiyan's analysis of the Three Kingdoms just now, how could Lin Ruhai still treat her as a normal child?

In fact, as soon as Lin Daiyu came back to Lin's house, Lin Ruhai asked Daiyu's nanny, Nanny Wang and Xueyan, but both of them agreed that it was okay, and even if it was not, they were just gossips.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish, even if it is as simple as Lin's family, the servants also make irresponsible remarks, not to mention, Ningrong Second Mansion, so Lin Ruhai just loves her daughter, but doesn't take it to heart.

Later, when she found out that Mrs. Wang wanted to scheme against the Lin family's money, although Lin Ruhai was wary of the Jia family, she still couldn't make up her mind because of her past friendship.After all, it was Mrs. Wang who came forward to this matter. Although the second uncle might know about it, he might be deceived.

But now listening to Wang Xiyan's narration, although it was the same thing, although he was still happy, he still felt the difference sensitively.It seems that there is something different about the Jia family, and that difference is more dangerous than Mrs. Wang's calculation of the Lin family's property.

It has to be said that part of Lin Daiyu's sensitivity is inherited from Lin Ruhai.

Wang Xiyan has improved a lot with these words. After entering the Lin family, she has been paying attention to Lin Ruhai and learned about his temperament. If she acts according to the original plan, not only will it not be effective, but she will also leave him with the impression of being ungrateful. , and thus may trust the Rongguo Mansion more. (At this time, Xiyan didn't know that Lin Ruhai had schemed against Jia Lian, and knew part of the truth.

From Wang Xiyan's point of view, Mrs. Wang is definitely hateful, but it was the men in the Rongning Second Mansion who had caused all the tragedies. Many things were caused by those men but unable to solve them and pushed them to the backyard for Jiamu and Mrs. Wang. Xiyan doesn't believe that Jia Zheng and the others know nothing about everything Madam has done. They just enjoy Wang's calculations and then pretend to be deaf and dumb. If the incident happens, just push it to Madam Wang. Isn't Wang Xifeng the best example ?

Lin Ruhai had something on his mind, so he rushed to ask for proof, and coughed.

Wang Xiyan hurriedly said with concern: "The wind is blowing, Uncle Lin is not in good health, you should go back quickly."

Lin Ruhai nodded, and as soon as he returned to the main room, he sent someone to look for Wang Momo and Xueyan, and asked them to repeat everything about the Rongguo Mansion in detail.

The two looked at each other, and in the end it was Wang Momo who came forward and said it again.

In fact, Lin Daiyu's life in Rongguo Mansion is very regular. Every day, she goes to greet Jiamu, and then goes back to the house, either to play with her sisters, or to study with her sisters, and then to greet Jiamu at night...

Lin Ruhai quickly noticed the difference, "What is Miss Wang doing? Didn't you say they live together?"

Lin Ruhai fixed his eyes on the young Xueyan, "Say it."

"Miss Yan does live with our girl. Usually, what Miss Yan does is what our girl does." Xueyan replied.

Lin Ruhai sat up straight, stroked the teacup and said, "So, what does Miss Yan usually do?"

"Miss Yan and the girl greet the old lady every day, and then take the girl to find Master You, urge him to study, take a lunch break after lunch, and follow the mothers to do needlework when they get up again. Walk the girl around the yard three times..."

"Why did you drag the girl around three times? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Anger flashed in Lin Ruhai's eyes, and his body parted, so frightened that the two of them fell on the ground and dared not move.

In the end, it was Xueyan who cried: "Miss Yan dragged her away very quickly, disregarding her manners, servants, servants, they did not dare to speak out for fear that the master would be angry..."

Lin Ruhai narrowed his eyes slightly, "Did Miss Yan say why?"

"Miss Yan said that the girl's body is weak, there are congenital reasons, but there are also acquired reasons, as long as the maintenance is good, it may not be impossible to recover, but the girl is now taking medicine as a meal, which is wrong for her body, saying that whole grains are the most healthy in the world. Nutritious things, as long as they eat properly, exercise regularly, and persevere, they may not be eradicated.

Miss Yan said that they are her daughter's family, and they can't invite martial arts masters to teach them like the young masters, so they have to walk around more..." Xue Yan looked at Lin Ruhai hesitantly, and whispered: "Actually, this servant thinks that the girl's life in the past two years The body is indeed much better than before, not to mention that the number of times Chunqiu gets sick is less than before, and each time he recovers faster, and it is not as serious as before..."
