Survive in the world of Red Mansions

Lin Rui and Lin Daiyu were guarding the mourning hall. It was already April [-]th, and those who were supposed to come to worship had already done so. Except for the monk who was still chanting scriptures every day, there were no guests coming.

The life of Lin Rui and Lin Daiyu was also much better than at the beginning. At the beginning, there were many people worshiping. As the only male, Lin Rui had to return gifts to the guests. He was so tormented that Lin Hai felt very distressed when he saw it.

After Nanny Lin came over, she saw her little master suffering like this, hugged her heart and soul and screamed for a long time, and then saw that no one came, so she asked people to set up thick cushions for Lin Rui and Lin Daiyu. The two brothers knelt and sat on it.

Although Shouxiao can't eat meat, but after a while, people will take the two siblings to the back, and the servants will prepare some easy-to-fat vegetarian food for them to eat, and Mother Lin will remember Lin Hai's order firmly. Yes, we must take good care of the two little masters, and we must not let the two little masters get tired and sick.

Even if someone comes over, I won’t be too picky. It’s not bad for 3 or 4-year-old Xiaodouding to stay in the mourning hall obediently every day without crying or fussing. Can't see either.

This vigil really tortures not only your mind, but also your body. After a long time, no matter how sad you are, it will gradually calm down.

What tortured Lin Rui the most was his body. Lin Daiyu’s heart was the most tortured at the beginning. Sister Lin cried very sadly at the beginning. Later, Mr. Qiu brought the female relatives who were going to take over to pay homage. You can’t meet the guests Sometimes you still cry non-stop, you are sad, but Lin Daiyu gradually got better and calmed down a lot.Now the two of them guard the coffin together during the day, except for the smoky atmosphere in the mourning hall, it's not that difficult. Lin Rui occasionally sits with Lin Daiyu and talks in a low voice.

"Sister, why don't you say people from my grandfather's family come?"

At the beginning, Lin Rui called Lin Daiyu's sister, but secretly struggled for a while, but now she called her sister more and more smoothly.

"My grandfather's house is in the capital, so it's far away."

"But, all the members of my cousin's family are here. Didn't Cousin Chen arrive two days ago?"

Lin Rui looked at Lin Daiyu's bewildered expression, and secretly sighed.Before she was alive, Jia Min often told their two siblings about the old affairs of Rongguo Mansion, some interesting stories about him when he was not married, and the pampering of his parents and brothers when he was not married.

Jia Min said that during these times, he may have let his children know more about Rongguo Mansion so that people will not see jokes when they go to Rongguo Mansion in the future, or he simply missed the good life of a boudoir girl to others.

What Lin Rui said to Lin Daiyu now only made Lin Daiyu feel that maybe her mother's natal family didn't pay as much attention to their mother and even their siblings as her mother said all the year round. The Yao family on the first floor has arrived, but the Jia family has not seen it yet.

Both Lin Rui and his son hope that Lin Daiyu will be too close to the Jia family in the future, but Lin Hai, as a father and Jia Min's husband, is really not good. For Lin Daiyu, what is wrong with the Jia family? You should stay away from the Jia family in the future. .

On the contrary, Lin Rui's age novels can be regarded as young and ignorant, and they don't know how to hide. However, Lin Daiyu is smart, sensitive and thoughtful, and she always thinks more when she hears similar words. After a long time, it will always have an effect.When I went to visit Jia's house at that time, I saw the current situation of Jia's house and combined with what I heard and thought, naturally the effect that Lin Hai and his son wanted would be reflected.

Lin Hai wished to stay far away from the Jia family, but there was always such a relationship that he couldn't stay away from them completely, but he didn't want Lin Daiyu to cry all her life for that sweetheart of the Jia family, not to mention Lin Daiyu's own happiness, when the time came It is even more troublesome to be inseparable from the Jia family.

It can be said that Jia Min’s family is too far away in the capital, so they haven’t arrived yet. It can also be said that Jia Min’s family doesn’t pay enough attention to Jia Min, so no one has come yet.

Because no one from my natal family came to attend my wife's funeral, it made people think that Jia Min's affairs behind this time were a bit disgraceful and unsightly.But for Lin Hai, he would rather be talked about by some people like this, than make people feel that the Lin family and the Rongguo Mansion are closely related.

Tomorrow is the last day of April [-]th, but the Jia family has not seen anyone yet, and Lin Hai has no intention of continuing to wait because no one from the Jia family has come to worship. Now he lives in the courtyard behind the government office, not at his own house You can stop as long as you want, Lin Hai directly asked the butler to prepare for the transfer of spirits.

Early the next morning, Lin Hai himself asked for leave, and took Lin Daiyu and his brother to Daming Temple with Jia Min's coffin.

This group of monks will recite sutras for 49 days.If Lin Rui and brother were older, it would be better to live in this temple for a period of time to show their filial piety, but the two of them were too young to take care of themselves, so Lin Hai took them back to the mansion directly.

On the surface, it's good that people can't talk. In Lin Hai's mind, Jia Min's weight is obviously incomparable with Lin Rui's sister and brother.

After another three days, Jia Lian of Jia's big house finally came with a group of people!

Jia Lian came to visit the courtyard behind Yanyan Yushi's mansion. He saw that there were white banners hanging, but he didn't see anyone. Why didn't the servant of the Lin family take him to the mourning hall to offer incense?

"What's the matter with you slave, why don't you take me to offer incense to my aunt?"

"Second Master Lian puts out his anger, my wife has been inactive for four to seven twenty-eight days, and moved to the temple three days ago."

"Why did you move to the temple so quickly, why didn't you know?"

Jia Lian rushed over all the way, exhausted, and before he could catch up, the fire suddenly started.

Fugui, the concierge, feels that he is very unlucky to be on duty today. The wife's family is really bad-tempered. It took me so long to arrive. Now you are blaming our Lin family for moving the spirit too early. Even if the spirit moves too early, it is the master's business. , What's the use of getting angry at us servants?

"I'm sorry, Second Master Lian, someone else informed the butler just now. The big butler has made his own arrangements. The younger one will take you to the living room first, and the big butler will be there later."

"Lead the way ahead!" Jia Lian had no choice but to follow the boy to the living room.

Jia Lian sat in the living room for a while, and soon the housekeeper Lin Zhong came over.

"Master Biao, hello! Master Biao has worked hard all the way." The butler first saluted Jia Lian after entering.

"Housekeeper, what's going on now? I'm here to pay respects to my aunt, why have I already transferred my spirit?"

"Master Biao, please forgive me! Because this is an official residence, it is inconvenient to stop the coffin for a long time, and my master can't ask for leave for a long time to send the spirit back to Suzhou, so I temporarily moved my late wife to Daming Temple. I have sent someone to report to my lord just now. Young Master Biao has come from a long way, so how about the younger one taking the Young Master Biao down to freshen up and rest?"

Jia Lian saw that Aunt Min would not be able to worship for the time being anyway, so she might as well go down to rest first.Even if it wasn't very fast on the road for the past twenty days, it was still uncomfortable to be on the boat every day.Second Mistress Lian also knew what kind of temperament her Second Master was, so there were no maids and maids who were a little more level-headed with her, because she was afraid that he would not be able to restrain herself from messing around outside, but this made Second Master Lian I feel uncomfortable.

"Master, someone from the mansion said that the Rongguo mansion in the capital sent a young master Biao to pay homage to his wife."

Lin Hai was dealing with official business in the yamen, and Lin An came in and reported to him.

Lin Hai thought, this Rongguo Mansion can be regarded as a visitor, if he doesn't come to Lin Hai again, he will think about whether their Jia family is his aunt and grandma, and he is not going to send someone to pay homage to him.Since Jia Min was seriously ill a few years ago, he sent someone to report, not to mention the year before, and even after the year, no one came to visit.It's just that the masters of the family are too busy, can't they even send out a servant?I don't know if Jia Min regretted not seeing her natal family before she left. Jia Min has always been thinking about Rongguo Mansion.

"Let the butler arrange the accommodation for Young Master Biao and his party. I will go back and see Young Master Biao later."

"My lord, the people from your natal family have finally arrived?" Zhao Ze happened to be there, so he said casually.

"Yes, it's here now, but it's fast enough!"

After Lin Hai returned to the mansion, he asked Jia Lian to be notified, and also asked Lin Daiyu and his brother to come out so that their cousins ​​could get to know each other.

For Jia Lian, Lin Hai and his son are still a little curious. In Dream of the Red Chamber, Jia Lian's role can't be said to be good, but it's not bad to the end. It should be said that Jia Lian is a typical playboy.

Jia Lian, the son of Jia She, donated an official position as a magistrate, but probably he didn't know which direction the gate of his own yamen opened. Eccentrically, he handed over the entire Rongguo Mansion to Erfang, and he, Wang Xifeng and his wife lived in Uncle Jia Zheng's house instead, helping Erfang with housework.

He is obsessed with lust and indulgence, even with his wife Lian and the second wife strictly guarding against him, he still hooks up with Duo girls and Bao's second wife.But he still retains his kind side, expressing his dissatisfaction with his father and Jia Yucun who ruined the stone nerd's family because of a few fans.

Relying on the power of the Wang family and the support of Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, his wife, Wang Xifeng, stepped on his head and made him helpless. From this, it can be seen that he is a slightly weak man.

The children of these aristocratic families, after several generations, all have good looks, Jia Lian is no exception.Lin Hai looked at Jia Lian, he had good facial features, but a pair of peach blossom eyes, which slightly ruined the overall temperament and made people feel a little frivolous.

"Nephew Lian, you've worked hard, but the journey went smoothly? This is your cousin Rui, and this is your cousin."

"Hello, Cousin Lian."

"Hello, Cousin Lian."

"Cousin, cousin, hello."

"Uncle, it's not hard. We traveled by water, and Rongguo Mansion's face was interrogated all the way without any trouble."

"Because this is an official residence, it is inconvenient to stay here for a long time. Tomorrow, I will ask the housekeeper to take you to Daming Temple to worship your aunt."

"Uncle, when I came here, the old lady had a letter for me to hand over to you, uncle."

Lin Hai took the letter, and he could guess the contents without opening it. It was nothing more than taking Daiyu and his brother to Rongguo Mansion or agreeing to the third prince's wooing.Lin Hai opened the letter and glanced at it roughly.Sure enough, she was going to pick up Daiyu and her brother to the capital, and it said how much she missed Yunyun for her grandson and granddaughter whom she had never met.It's a joke that my own daughter is seriously ill and I don't see anyone to visit, but I miss my granddaughter and grandson so much!

"I'll talk about this later. I've got someone to prepare a plain table. Let's go now."

Although Jia Lian and Yao Chen both came from the capital, but one of them belonged to a family of scholars and the other was from a family of military generals, so they couldn't talk about going together.Lin Yun himself is a taciturn person, and he is not good at enlivening the atmosphere. Although Lin Hai is not very old, he is also an elder. boring.
