Survive in the world of Red Mansions

On the sixth day of February, Jia Min, who had been lying in bed for many days and hadn't gotten up, was so refreshed that she asked her maid to help her get up early in the morning.

Dressing up carefully, putting on makeup and blush, she could still vaguely see her demeanor back then. Daiyu was very happy to see that her mother, who was seriously ill during this period, was able to get up today.

But Lin Hai and Lin Rui knew that Jia Min was probably coming back to life after seeing it, and it was only a matter of a day or two.Lin Rui and Lin Daiyu were by Jia Min's side. Today is not a holiday for Lin Hai, and he has to go to the Yamen to do something.

Jia Min was in great spirits today. He took Daiyu and his brother for a stroll in the garden, sitting on the porch basking in the warm spring sunshine, watching a pair of young children sitting beside him, with a faint smile on his face .

"From birth to now, you two siblings have never even been to your grandparents' house, and your grandmothers and uncles have never seen you. Except for your eldest cousin who left the house, how many people are there now?" My cousin and brother Baoyu are very close in age to you, if you go to that house, you won't have to worry about having no playmates."

"Mother, you mentioned cousin Yingchun, cousin Tanchun and Xichun, and brother Baoyu from the second uncle's family. I know what mother said before, and I want to meet them too."

"It's been so many years since I came to Yangzhou that my mother hasn't been back to the capital. I don't know what it's like now? I think that when my mother was not married, your grandmother would take it with you and hand it over with those handkerchiefs to attend parties, play, play the qin and write poems. , so happy and comfortable.

The two state residences in Rongning occupy the entire Rongning Street. Inside Rongguo Mansion, there are carved beams and painted buildings. It's a pity that my mother can no longer see it. "

Lin Rui heard Jia Min say this, and thought that Jia Min was thinking about the days at her natal family. It should be that Jia Min's time was the most relaxing and comfortable time in her life. The intercourse and fun of close friends.

Marrying into the Lin family, even Lin Ruhai can be regarded as a good man and husband in this era, but when a woman is married, there will always be conflicts when getting along with her mother-in-law, unlike the relationship with her biological mother in her natal family, plus she has not had children for many years Later, the conflict with the mother-in-law deepened, and then the fight with the concubine and aunt, even if she was the main wife and mistress, she still had a lot of helplessness.

These unsatisfactory and unsatisfactory things further showed the beauty of life as a boudoir girl in the boudoir in the past. It is no wonder that she always recalls the good times in her natal family. In her mind, her natal family was also invisibly beautified by her unconsciously. many.

"Hearing what my mother said, I really want to go to my grandfather's house with my mother," Daiyu said while pulling Jia Min expectantly.

"In the future, I will have the opportunity to go to my grandfather's house. Your grandfather's house is a state-owned mansion with big rules. Even the third-class servants are different from other houses. When you go there, you must be careful not to be laughed at by others."

"Understood, mother!"

He asked someone to take Daiyu and his brother to play in the garden, and called the maids around him to come over.

"Nurse Zhang is getting old, so she shouldn't have let you worry about it long ago. She insisted that she was worried. Your children now have their own farm shop. After I go, she will go home and become an old lady." Enjoy your happiness. You guys have been with me for many years. How old are Dongmei and Xia Yu? Your family has already engaged you. 100 taels of silver per person and make-up for you, after you go out, live a good life.”

"lady……"

"lady……"

"You have been with me for many years, so I have to arrange a way out for you. Some time ago, the master directly added people to Rui'er and sister Dai, and they were all selected from the servants of the Lin family. I don't know what will happen in the future. No newcomers will come in. Your family members followed me from Jia’s house. If newcomers come in, she will also bring a companion. She will use her own companion in the future. It depends on how many years you have been with me. , I will arrange a way out for you before I leave, what do you think, Chunfeng and Qiushuang, should you go out or stay?"

"We listen to Madam's arrangement."

"Then why don't you just wait another two years to go out? I'll also prepare a dowry for you in advance. The younger ones around Rui'er and Sister Dai are still young, and the older ones don't matter. Follow Rui'er after the spring breeze, Qiu Shuang followed Sister Dai, trained those little maids, and you will get married in a few years. The master now has two children, Brother Rui and Daiyu. As long as you take good care of the uncle and the girl, the master will not treat your family badly. Human."

Lin Hai knew that something was wrong with Jia Min early this morning, so he came back from the Yamen early after finishing his official duties.

When Lin Hai came in, he saw Jia Min looking at Daiyu siblings sitting beside him with nostalgia.

Jia Min leaned on the bed, his eyes lit up when he saw Lin Hai coming in.

"Master, you are back!"

"Father!"

Lin Hai sat by the bed, and saw that Jia Min's face was full of energy early in the morning, and it only took half the day so quickly, and now it seems that the whole person has overdrawn all his vitality, his face is full of ashes, and the busy person asked Dr. Zhang to come over .

Looking at the woman lying on the bed, Lin Hai still remembered that when he just came here a few months ago, she still had long black and shiny hair, but now it is dull; her once thin body is now covered with a The bed quilt can be felt as thin as paper.

"Husband, don't be busy, I know it myself, cough...cough, Rui'er, Daiyu, you go out for a meeting, and I will talk to your father. I have already said a lot, I just hope that I will go, and my husband can take care, Cough, cough, you need to worry about the two children. I know that some places in Rongguo Mansion are inappropriate, but there is an old lady here. Can I send the two children to my mother after I go? And if Rongguo Mansion If there is anything wrong, I hope my husband can help me!"

Jia Min also knew that her natal family would intervene in the battle for the royal heirloom. If it succeeded, everyone would be happy, and the Jia family would go one step further, but if it failed, it would be a catastrophe for the whole family.

Lin Hai didn't know how to answer when he heard Jia Min still say the same thing, besides, it's meaningless to argue with a dying person, so he could only reply:

"In the future, I will ask them to visit their mother-in-law. If something happens to the Rongguo Mansion in the future, I will help as much as possible."

When Jia Min heard Lin Hai's answer, his eyes gradually dimmed.

"Let the two children come in!"

"My son, my mother is gone in the future, Daiyu, you are the elder sister, you have to take good care of your younger brother, you know? Cough..."

After coughing for a while, Jia Min touched the pair of children and put their hands together.

"Ruier, you are the younger brother... You must listen to your sister. You two must support and take care of each other in the future. You must be good in the future and listen to your...father's words."

Lin Hai didn't go out either, and asked Dr. Zhang to feel the pulse of Jia Min who was already comatose on the bed.Doctor Zhang shook his head at Lin Hai after taking his pulse.

"Master Lin, I am incompetent, I am very sorry!"

In the middle of the night, white flags were hung up in the entire backyard of the Yan government, and the chief housekeeper arranged to report funerals to the houses of relatives and friends.

In the Rongguo Mansion in the capital city, Lian's second grandmother, Wang Xifeng, received the servants of the Lin family who came to report the funeral. When they heard the servants of the Lin family say that Aunt Min had left on the evening of the sixth day, the second grandmother knew that it was troublesome.

A few years ago, the Lin family reported that Aunt Min was seriously ill. The old lady wanted people to visit Yangzhou at that time, but because the Chinese New Year was only a few days away, the house was so busy that they couldn’t spare any manpower. Even though Jia Min His health has not been very good since the birth of his youngest son, but he has persisted. He thought that this time it might just be a more serious condition, and felt that the Chinese New Year would soon be over, so he didn't send someone to visit him right away.

After the new year, Jia Lian, who was the only one in the family who could go out to do errands, was often pushed around by Mrs. Wang, the second bedroom, but never made it.Then I thought that Aunt Min would go so soon, and now all the mourners have come, and the sick visitors haven't left yet, so the old lady can no longer hide the matter like this.

Lian's second grandmother came down to the old lady's yard with the mourner. When she went in, she saw Baoyu and Sanchun sitting around Jia's mother, talking and laughing.Seeing Second Mistress Lian coming in, Mother Jia asked, "Why is Feng girl here at this hour? What's the matter?"

"Old lady, um, there is someone from Yangzhou aunt's side... It is said that Aunt Min is gone on the sixth day of the lunar new year, so come here to report."

"What, my Min'er..."

The old lady yelled and fainted all of a sudden.While supporting the old lady, Lian's second grandmother sent someone to invite the imperial physician to come to the house.The old lady was so stimulated all of a sudden, she woke up before the imperial doctor came.

"Where's the person reporting the funeral? What happened to my Min'er?"

Second Mistress Lian asked Sanchun to retreat to the back, and asked her servant girl to bring in the mourners.Lin Yuan walked in, and had to tell the whole process of his wife from illness to death.

After Jia's mother asked Lin Yuan to leave, she asked someone to call the second wife over.

As soon as he saw Mrs. Wang coming in, he said bitterly: "The second child's family told you to go to Yangzhou in a row a few years ago, and now they haven't let anyone go there until February, so you and Min'er are so hostile. ?”

"The old lady quenched her anger, it's really..."

"Don't say it's superfluous, you go and make arrangements and let Lian Er get ready to go to Yangzhou immediately."

"Yes, old lady."

Mrs. Wang was criticized in vain, and she stepped back to make preparations full of displeasure.

Jia's mother leaned on the kang and thought about it. Min'er went away, leaving behind two young children, and now taking over can make Daiyu and Baoyu have a close relationship.This time, Lian Er must bring him over in the past. My uncle has been in charge of the Jiangnan Salt Administration for a long time, and the two families cannot become estranged just because Miner is gone.
