Survive in the world of Red Mansions

That night, Lin Hai took Lin Rui to the study, and also told Lin Rui about the contents of the residence report.Lin Rui was very surprised to hear that the old emperor divided the princes into princes and county kings at once.

"Dad, I remember that Dream of Red Mansions didn't seem to mention this plot, right? I just remember that the old emperor abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor." Lin Rui said to Lin Hai.

"The events described in Dream of Red Mansions basically happened in Rongguo Mansion and Grand View Courtyard. The most important thing is to describe Bao Dai's love. Too addicted to and believe in the plot of Dream of Red Mansions in the past.

Because of our arrival, the plot about us will naturally change, as if you, as the heir of the Lin family, are living well now, even if Jia Min passes away one day, I am not going to let sister Lin stay in the Jia family for a long time, these are all It has changed, right? "Lin Hai put his arms around Lin Rui and said.

"Also, I think the situation will become more and more dangerous. I will always have guards by my side outside, so I don't have to worry too much. I'm afraid that someone will put their hands into the backyard. You should pay more attention when you are in the mansion. There is absolutely no danger around you." You can’t stop people, and now the weather is getting colder and colder, and you should stay away from the pool in the garden. Although the pool is very shallow, if you fall into the water in the cold weather, even your current small body will be enough.”

Lin Ruhai thought about it and said, "Yes, there should be two or three people from the Lin family in Suzhou in a few days, so let's meet together then!"

When Lin Rui heard that the Suzhou Lin family was coming, he said, "Actually, Lin Ruhai's branch should be far away from the Suzhou Lin family. They have all produced five clothes. If there is something wrong, how can we help?"

Hearing what his son said, Lin Hai could only smile helplessly and said, "It was because I was too eager when I first came here, thinking that I am 39 years old now, and you are only 3 years old. You also know that people in ancient times had a short life span. I went there one day, Ruirui, and you are still underage. Jia’s family is unreliable, so I can only look for relatives who may take care of you in the future. The Yao family and the Lin family are the closest I can think of. I am too impatient ! But the letter has already been sent, and the Yao family has already sent you a gift, so it would be nice to have a relationship in the future."

When Lin Rui heard Lin Hai say this, he put his arms around Lin Hai's waist and nestled on his father's chest. After a long time, he said softly: "I will always be with Dad, and Dad will live a long life!"

Four or five days later, it happened to be a holiday, and the autumn was crisp and sunny. Lin Hai took Lin Rui and his brother to fly a kite in the garden.In modern times, when he was still in elementary school, the youngest cousin of the family took him to play. At that time, he could hold the kite by himself and fly the kite by himself.It's a pity that I am too young now, so I can only watch the maid play, and I and Daiyu follow behind to watch.

Because the weather was fine today, Lin Hai asked someone to move a chair for Jia Minyi to sit on the side. Seeing the two siblings having so much fun, Jia Min also showed a rare smile.

At this moment, a servant came in and said that someone from the concierge had come to report that someone from the Lin family in Suzhou had come. The youngest son of the current patriarch came with a brother from the fourth room.

Lin Hai listened to the servant's announcement and ordered to take the guests to the side hall, and he arrived shortly thereafter.He called Daiyu's two siblings to come together, and said to them, "Daiyu, Rui'er, someone from the Lin family in Suzhou is here, you go and meet him." Then he turned to Jia Min and asked, "How is Madam?" , do you want to meet up together?"

Jia Min felt that she was in good spirits and said, "There are people from Suzhou, I should meet them, just sit down for a while. The yards are the two yards on the north side that I ordered to clean up last time. I will let them have a look." Hearing what Jia Min said, Lin Hai walked over to support Jia Min, and went to the main hall with Lin Rui and his brother.

Lin Hai brought his family to the living room, and saw two men standing up. One of them looked familiar. It should be the old patriarch's youngest son, Lin Xu. He was wearing a light blue robe, and the other was wearing The one in the dark gray semi-new old robe should be Lin Yun from the fourth bedroom.

The two people who stood up saw Lin Hai who came in at the head, and immediately stood up and shouted: "Boran (Derun) sends greetings to Uncle and Aunt Hai." Lin Hai also smiled and replied: "Hi two cousins, here is Daiyu Sister and brother Rui." Lin Rui and Lin Daiyu also shouted: "Brother Xu, brother Yun."

After a circle of greetings, everyone sat down humbly with each other, and the servants served tea again.

Since Lin Hai’s team has already issued five clothes with Suzhou, they seldom go to the house in Suzhou. The last time was when Mrs. Lin was buried, so they only know a few brothers from the older generation in Suzhou. , the younger generation basically didn't know him, and Lin Xu had some impressions because he was the youngest son of the old patriarch.

Lin Hai said to Lin Xu: "Cousin Boran, I met you in Suzhou more than ten years ago. It has been so many years. How are your parents?" Lin Xu replied, "Both your parents are in good health. This time my mother also asked me to prepare gifts for sister Daiyu and cousin Rui."

Lin Hai remembered what the servants who went to deliver the gift last time found out that there was only one widowed mother living with her only son Lin Yun in the fourth house, but now Lin Yun is married and has a son and a daughter, so he asked Lin Yun next to him: "Is your mother in good health? This time you come here, is the family arranged?" Lin Yun replied: "It's all arranged, Uncle Xie Hai cares."

Seeing that they were all a little tired, Jia Min said, "Master, do you think it's better for someone to take the two nephews to wash up and have a rest first? They must be tired from the long journey. How many things can't be said later?"

Let the servants take them to their own yard, and order to arrange a banquet for the evening.

Considering that they came from afar, the meals were delivered directly to their respective yards at noon, and they were notified to let them have a good rest in the afternoon. The banquet was scheduled for the evening, and they could do it when they arrived.

The two staff members Zhao Ze and Li Tuo also attended the evening banquet. After the banquet, Lin Hai took Lin Xu and Lin Yun to the study to talk, and Lin Rui followed behind.

Lin Hai first asked Lin Xu and the others: "This time you come here, what is the old patriarch's order, and do you two have any ideas? See if I can help you."

Lin Xu and Lin Yun looked at each other, and Lin Yun said: "My nephew was the last Juren, but his ranking was only in the middle at that time, and he is not sure if he will participate in the next year's exam, so he wants to wait for one or two rounds before participating There is another family who has been saving money for my study, and now I want to ask Uncle Hai to give advice to my nephew when I am free. I am 28 this year. You can't develop in the direction of the staff."

After hearing what Lin Yun said, Lin Hai felt that his idea was good and pragmatic.Not every Juren can pass the Jinshi examination, and his results in the provincial examination are only in the middle. To put it bluntly, if you take such a score to participate in the general examination, unless you are very, very lucky, the chance of getting a Jinshi in the general examination is very small. It's really small.Don't want to study hard, let the whole family follow behind to endure hardships, know how to care about the life of the family, it shows that you are not the kind of bookworm who knows nothing about money, rice, oil, salt and light. way out.

"Derun's idea is very good. There are also many affairs in the Yanzheng Yamen. Derun can help run errands first, and usually learn more from his staff, Mr. Li and Mr. Zhao. Don't let go of reading. If you want, you can often write some articles for me. Help me take a look. Nephew Boran, what are your thoughts?" Lin Hai turned to ask Lin Xu again.

"Father asked his nephew to come here this time mainly to meet younger sister Daiyu and younger brother Rui. Because he is going to take part in the examination next year, I think Uncle Hai can give some advice. After returning to Suzhou, he will go to the capital after a while." Lin Hai Hearing what Lin Xu said, although he thought that next year would not be a good time to take part in the examination, after all, Lin Ruhai's relationship with the Lin family in Suzhou had always been normal, and now it's a bit shallow, so it's just Nodded, promised him to spend as much time as possible during this time.

The two cousins, Lin Xu and Lin Yun, officially settled down in the Lin family. Seven or eight days later, Lin Hai called the big housekeeper, Lin Zhong, and asked, "Boss, it's been a while since the two cousins ​​from Suzhou came here. Alright, butler, what do you think of these two people?"

Lin Zhong thought for a while and replied: "In my opinion, the two clan young masters are very responsible and have a good temper. However, compared with Young Master Xu and Young Master Yun, although they are about the same age, they are not as stable as Young Master Yun. "

Lin Hai smiled and replied: "Derun lost his father when he was young, and he has been with his widowed mother for many years, and he was in charge of the family early at a young age; Bo Ran has parents, brothers and sisters who love him, so his temper will naturally be more lively, and only someone who loves him has the opportunity to develop this temperament .

Letting people from my hometown in Suzhou come over this time is also considering that our team has always been a single pass, and this generation has only one boy, Ruier.To communicate more with Suzhou, I also hope that Rui'er will also have someone to help her in the future.

There are also servants in the family, the housekeeper, you should also pay more attention, don't let people slow down the two young masters, let them serve you carefully. "

Not long after Lin Hai arrived at the Yanzheng Yushi Yamen that day, Li Tuo came in with an invitation, "My lord, it's an invitation from the housekeeper of the prefect Cui's family."
