General of the Red Chamber

In the boudoir lingering in the fragrance, in the cloud brocade tent, Daiyu's pale face was sweating slightly, her lips were twitching, as if she was talking nonsense, Zijuan who was waiting by the side saw her girl's face full of pain and seemed to be awake, so she knew it. It was the dream demon who was possessed, bent down, and gently pushed Daiyu, "Girl, girl"

Daiyu finally stopped talking, and slowly opened her eyes, tears were misty, she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality, and asked softly, "What happened to me just now?"

Zijuan helped Daiyu to sit up, and wiped the sweat stains on Daiyu's forehead with a handkerchief, "Young lady seemed to be haunted by a nightmare just now, she was talking in sleep, but she couldn't hear clearly. The servant was worried, so she called out you"

Daiyu silently recalled the previous dream, it was really scary, she rubbed her forehead, "I should go see daddy" and got out of bed holding her hands, Zijuan sat on the edge of the bronze mirror, giving Daiyu Yu casually pulled up her hair in a bun and inserted a simple hosta.Seeing that Daiyu was wearing thin clothes, fearing that she would be exposed further, she found another brocade robe and put it on Daiyu, and then waited for Lin Daiyu to leave the room.

Because of Lin Ruhai's serious illness and Daiyu's return, all the lights in the Lin residence were brightly lit and they dared not go out, but the corridors were as clear as day.Along the way, I ran into a few maids who waited at night, and when they saw Daiyu, they bowed respectfully and then passed by. Zijuan watched secretly, and felt that Daiyu was more comfortable living in Lin's mansion.

After passing through a few corridors, I arrived at Lin Ruhai's room. Lin Zong was ordering his servants outside. When he saw Daiyu coming, he immediately went up to greet her, "Miss has been tired for days and is not in good spirits. Why don't you take a rest and see you tomorrow. I'm afraid the master will feel distressed when he sees it."

Daiyu looked at the door and saw voices coming from inside, so she knew that her father hadn't fallen asleep yet, so she mourned slightly, "I'm really worried about my father, and I can't sleep well, so I came to see you first."

Lin Zong sighed, bowed to give way, and pushed the door open, "The doctor is watching inside, it's okay for you to go in first."

Daiyu nodded, fearing that the crowd would disturb her father's cleanliness, she asked Zijuan to wait outside, and went into the room by herself.

"Cough, cough, I told you that you don't need to read any more. If you're tired, you should take another trip." Lin Ruhai squeezed the handkerchief to block his cough, and suddenly felt the familiar fishy smell in his mouth, so he quickly squeezed the handkerchief tightly.

"My lord, you are too worried, I can only prescribe a prescription and look at it again." Looking at Lin Ruhai who was dying of illness in front of him, the gentle young Tanhualang in his memory could not survive the years of waste and the torment of illness. Such a haggard description.

Lin Ruhai coughed a few times uncontrollably, waved his hands, and was about to speak, when he heard a soft and agile voice "Daddy" from beside him

Lin Ruhai followed the prestige, and saw a slim and gentle girl standing at the middle door, looking at him with reddish eyes, this was clearly his only daughter Daiyu "Yu'er, cough cough cough", emotionally agitated. Caused a constant cough.

Daiyu couldn't stand still, she lifted the corner of her skirt and ran to Lin Ruhai's bedside, she stared at her father in a daze, the tall and straight father in her memory turned out to be what she is now, her heart felt sore, she couldn't help it Throwing into Lin Ruhai's arms and crying, the doctor next to him was also moved by the desolate scene of the reunion of father and daughter, and couldn't bear to disturb the father and daughter, so he went out silently with the medicine box.

"Daddy`````Daddy, Yu'er misses you." While crying, Daiyu told her father what she missed for many years.

Lin Ruhai stroked Daiyu's hair, "Yu'er has really grown up, she is a big girl, don't cry, don't cry" and persuaded Daiyu, while secretly touching her tears.

Just like this, the father and daughter struggled for a long time before slowly calming down, Daiyu wiped away her tears, her clear eyes were red and swollen, Lin Ruhai endured the pain and smiled lightly, "You are so old, you still love me." Cry, your eyes are swollen from crying."

Seeing Lin Ruhai enduring the pain, Daiyu felt uncomfortable again, and she didn't dare to make Lin Ruhai as uncomfortable as herself, so she held back and pulled Lin Ruhai's sleeves with her jade hands, "Daddy, Yu'er won't go to grandma. I’m home, I’ll stay by your side with you”

Lin Ruhai patted Daiyu's hand, and said with a slight smile, "What nonsense are you talking about? Could it be that life at grandma's house is not good?"

Daiyu shook her head, "Grandmother treats Yu'er well, but Yu'er wants to be with Daddy more."

Just as Lin Ruhai was about to speak, her lungs were churning again, and she had to hold on to the quilt tightly. Seeing this, Daiyu was about to cry, and hurriedly went out to call for someone. Lin Ruhai tugged at Daiyu's sleeve, shaking her head, Daiyu had no choice but to let Lin Ruhai calm down, and she calmed down after a while.

Lin Ruhai felt that his body might not last long. Looking at his frail daughter, thinking about the loneliness and helplessness in the future, his heart ached. He let go of Lin Daiyu's hand, reached out to touch the inside of the bed, and took out a satin package. long objects.

"Yu'er, I'm afraid you won't be much longer as a father, and I have to tell you something." Seeing that Daiyu was about to speak, Lin Ruhai blocked her and said, "Listen to what Daddy has to say first." Daiyu nodded sadly, and sat down obediently. next to.

"Father Wei has always been worried about you. Although your grandmother's family is a relative, they are outsiders after all. His family is complicated and changeable, and Father Wei is really worried. Fortunately, God has mercy on you and asked Father Wei to arrange a good marriage for you. "Lin Ruhai handed the Qingming sword to Daiyu, and Daiyu felt heavy in both hands, curious about what it was, and opened the silk cloth only to find that it was a bronze sword.

Daiyu said in surprise, "Daddy, what is this?"

"Cough cough cough" Lin Ruhai covered the coughing mouth with his fist, and continued, "This is the young hero of today's world, the sword of the first-grade Zhenwei general Qin Fan, and he is your future husband-in-law. I wanted to meet with you personally. When you met, unexpectedly the military order was like a mountain, and they set off overnight, Yu'er, from the perspective of my father, this person's demeanor is very good, what is rare is that you have given Yu'er the utmost care, and you should be your beloved."

"Daddy, I`````" Daiyu was very surprised and at a loss, she didn't expect that she already had a man who was engaged to her. For Daiyu who had only known Baoyu for so many years, she was slightly repelled.

Naturally, Lin Ruhai didn't know what Daiyu was thinking. In his opinion, such an excellent man, his daughter would definitely admire him. Moreover, marriage matters were always decided by his parents, so he didn't think too much about it.

"Yu'er, the Moyu your mother left for you has already been handed over to General Qin as a betrothal for your father. You must keep this sword carefully. In addition, here is a letter that General Qin left for you before leaving. Yours." Lin Ruhai took out a letter from under the pillow and handed it to Daiyu.

Daiyu took it in a daze. Is this the first letter she received from a man? She was a little curious in her heart, and she didn't dare to show it in front of Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai was a little tired, coughed a few times, and asked Daiyu to go back to her room to rest. Seeing Lin Ruhai's tired face, Daiyu didn't want to bother her anymore, thinking of coming to see her again tomorrow, Shi Shiran left.

Zijuan waited outside the door for a long time, and finally saw her own girl coming out, hurriedly stepped forward to meet her, and saw Lin Daiyu struggling to hold a long object, and was going to pick it up, Daiyu dodged subconsciously, startled He said, "Let me do it myself," and walked into the corridor with the Qingming sword in his arms. He didn't speak along the way, but he seemed to be preoccupied.Zijuan knew that Daiyu was always thoughtful, so she didn't take the initiative to ask, so she followed quietly along the way.

After entering the boudoir, Daiyu had something to worry about, so she told Zijuan to go to rest, and there was no need to keep watch at night.Seeing Daiyu's firm expression, Zijuan didn't dare to refute it. After giving some instructions, Zijuan left Daiyu's boudoir.

Seeing Zijuan go out, Daiyu turned around and glanced at the Qingming sword on the couch, opened the wrapped silk cloth, Daiyu touched the scabbard lightly, feeling very cold, and saw the sword shining like Looking at the mirror, but there are slight wear marks on the hilt, so he guessed that the owner of the sword loved the sword very much.My heart moved, I pinched my cuffs, wondering whether I should take out the letter to have a look, and then looked at the sword on the couch, a moment later, a red cloud floated over my pretty face.Slowly took out the letter in the sleeve, opened the envelope gently, took out the tissue paper inside, and slowly opened the neatly folded letter paper.Guan Zhi's handwriting is not as graceful as he usually sees, but rather vigorous and flamboyant, it seems that there is a mysterious power hidden in it.

"Miss Lin, if you:

Guan Guan Jujiu, in the continent of the river. A gentle lady, a gentleman is so charming.

Staggered Nymphaea, left and right.Fair lady, I long for it.

poo.leisurely leisurely.Tossing and turning.

Yu Zhi took the liberty to propose marriage, and was fortunate enough to get his father-in-law to marry him, and he was extremely happy.Yuzhi expected that Miss would be at a loss, but Yuzhi admired Miss in his heart, and wished to marry Qin and Jin, and hoped that Miss would understand Yuzhi's sincere heart.I have something important to do today, I can't shirk it for a moment, I can't see the young lady in person, I feel very upset.I only hope to return soon and apologize to the young lady personally.In addition, it is cool in autumn, and I am lucky to take pictures of myself.Sweat and heat are impermanent, but Fu Weizhen values ​​self-love.All do not have Chen.I would like to express my slightest intention.Please keep the long paper short, and don't give up.I can't say enough, and I pray for treasure.

"Qin Yu's Words"

Although it was a short letter, Daiyu felt as if she had a daughter in her hand, and she was a little out of breath. First, she felt a little frivolous when she saw the love poem, and then she said that she called her father-in-law and said she admired her. As soon as he wrote the words, his face became hot, as if he was sick, and he was annoyed that he was really a disciple, so he threw the letter paper under the bed. Seemingly, Su Shou quickly picked up the letter paper, glanced at the room, made sure that he was alone, then gently folded the letter paper and put it in the envelope.Putting it on his heart and covering it, he stuffed it under the pillow and fell on the bed. The heat on his face was still hot, he reached out and touched the pillow, then closed his eyes and fell asleep. sleep.

Although Daiyu went to bed late, she was worried about Lin Ruhai and couldn't sleep well, so she asked Zijuan to wake her up early in the morning, wearing only a lotus-leaf plain dress, with a bun on her head, and a hairpin. Fixed, there is a chance that the hair will hang down below.After washing up, without eating, she went to Lin Ruhai's room.

As soon as she arrived at Lin Ruhai's room, she saw the servants coming out with soup and medicine, but they didn't move at all. Daiyu stretched out her hand to test the temperature, and found that it was warm, so she took the breakfast and went into the room. Seeing Lin Ruhai lying on the bed reading a book, he put the meal on the table, picked up a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and sat down beside Lin Ruhai's bed.

"Why is Yu'er so early, the daughter's family should sleep more," Lin Ruhai put down the book in his hand, looked at Daiyu and said softly.

Daiyu smiled slightly and said, "Daddy taught Yu'er not to sleep too much, but today he blamed Yu'er for getting up early, Yu'er is really wronged."

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said with a smile, "When I grow up, I'll be so eloquent, and I'll joke about being my father."

Daiyu scooped up a spoonful of porridge and handed it to Lin Ruhai's mouth, "Yu'er can admit his mistake, but Daddy has to eat porridge."

"Now I've learned how to make my father submit, it's time to fight." Although he said so, he also ate the porridge along Daiyu's spoon.

Seeing that Lin Ruhai had eaten the porridge, Daiyu was happy, so she continued to feed the porridge. After a while, the bowl bottomed out, so she gave up, put down the bowl, sat down on Lin Ruhai's side, pinched Lin Ruhai's sleeve and said with a smile, "Daddy!" Today's complexion is much better, I guess Dad will get better after a while."

When Lin Ruhai heard Daiyu's words, she felt uncomfortable. Daiyu was still young, so naturally she didn't know that this was a sign of returning light. When she got up this morning, she felt that today was the day of her death, so she didn't even want to drink soup. It's just that Daiyu was looking forward to it just now, so she also ate the porridge.After thinking about it for a while, I still couldn't bear to tell my daughter that today is another day.

The father and daughter spoke happily, Lin Ruhai was feeling tired and wanted to rest, so he heard Lin Zong come in.

When Lin Zong entered the door and saw Daiyu, he greeted An respectfully, and said, "My lord, outside the door there is a man who claims to be General Qin Yuan and his servant, and he said that he came to the mansion under the order of General Qin to be sent by the lord."

It was only then that Lin Ruhai remembered that before Qin Fan left, he had indeed said that he would send loyal people over, but he did not expect to come so soon.He hurriedly said to Lin Zongdao, "It is indeed from General Qin's mansion, please find someone to come in."

After a while, Lin Zong led a slightly fat middle-aged man and dressed as a young girl into the room.

The middle-aged man has a peaceful face, but his eyes are full of clarity.The woman next to her was only wearing a warrior bun. She was wearing a dark green dress with a soft whip pinned to her waist. She looked like a martial artist.

As soon as the two of them entered the room, they didn't look at Lin Ruhai first, but inadvertently glanced in Daiyu's direction, and greeted Lin Ruhai as usual, "Qin Yuan met Mr. Lin."

Lin Ruhai hurriedly said, "Don't be too polite, you have come from a long way, it's hard work."

Qin Yuan said with a smile on his face, "My master ordered to take good care of the future mistress and the Yue family. The responsibility is heavy. Qin Yuan dare not delay for a moment."

Lin Ruhai nodded, glanced at Daiyu beside him and said, "This is the little girl"

Qin Yuan respectfully greeted Lin Daiyu, "Miss Lin is well."

Lin Daiyu felt quite at a loss, and said, "There is no need to be polite."

Qin Yuan smiled gently, then pointed to the well-dressed woman next to him and said to Lin Ruhai and Daiyu, "This is a martial artist in the family. The master gave him the name Qin Jian. His martial arts skills are as good as men's. The master told me to stay here in the future." Miss Lin is always there to serve you."

Lin Ruhai smiled in satisfaction, sat up straight and took a look. He really looked like a warrior, and felt that it would be a good position for his daughter to be accompanied by such a person, and the son-in-law was really thoughtful.Said to Daiyu, "So, you can stay by your side."

"Yes, Daddy," Daiyu replied softly.

Seeing this, Qin Jian next to her walked up to Daiyu, knelt down to acknowledge the Lord and said, "Thank you, Master", and Daiyu hurriedly helped her up.

Qin Yuan saw that Lin Ruhai looked pale, so he didn't stay for long, took his leave respectfully, and followed Lin Zong to settle down the servants who came with him.

Daiyu also took Qin Jian back to her yard, planning to visit Lin Ruhai again at night, but unexpectedly, this departure was a farewell.

Later, when Daiyu was having dinner, a servant came crying to report the news of Lin Ruhai's death. With a shake of Daiyu's hand, the bowl and chopsticks fell to the ground and smashed into pieces. She was about to run out of the house to find Lin Ruhai, and walked to the door Then she passed out, but fortunately Qin Jian was quick enough to support Daiyu.

When Daiyu woke up, it was already the morning of the next day. When she walked into the yard, it was already covered with white onyx, and her body wobbled and she couldn't stand still. straight.Only after asking the servants did they know that Lin Ruhai had already arrived in the mourning hall, and everyone in the family also received the news and were really paying respects.

Daiyu said sadly, "Father," and ran to the mourning hall.

In the mourning hall

The ground was full of people kneeling, all wearing white linen clothes, with mournful expressions. Lin Zong saw that some of them were people who did not communicate with each other on weekdays. He also saw that the sacrifices and furnishings in the mourning hall were not ordinary. Those coffins are all high-quality golden nanmu coffins.All the qualities are not for ordinary officials.Lin Zong was secretly amazed, thinking that Qin Yuan arranged the mourning hall alone, presumably it must have been arranged by General Qin.

Lin Zong was going to the door to receive the guests who came to worship, when he heard a loud voice outside the door, "Who are you, dare to be so rude?"

Hearing it was Jia Lian's voice, Lin Zong thought for a while, then went into the courtyard, and when he came out, he saw two servants from the Qin family entangled with Jia Lian.

"Don't do this, you two, this is a relative of my Lin family," Lin Zong hurriedly stepped forward to stop him

One of the servants said suspiciously, "Steward Lin, I think this person is dressed in beautiful clothes and looks sad, he doesn't look like someone who came to pay respects."

Only then did Lin Zong see clearly that Jia Lian was dressed in bright-colored satin, which looked like a bunch of flowers, and he was a little angry, "My master just passed away, and the second master Lian should not have dressed like this." If it was the past, for Daiyu's sake , and would not talk about Jia Lian in person like this, but now that my young lady is no longer a lonely person, how can these people be allowed to be presumptuous.

When Jia Lian was told this, and seeing others looking at him, he looked a little embarrassed, and explained, "I just heard the news of my uncle's death, and came here before I changed my clothes, but these two servants are also very rude. I don’t know how Butler Lin will discipline her.”

Lin Zong said indifferently, "These two are not from my house, but from my uncle's house to help. Please forgive Lin Zong for not being able to make decisions."

Jia Lian rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle?"

"Now there are a lot of guests and everything is busy. Please ask Second Master Lian to change his clothes before coming here. I will talk to Second Master Lian in detail in the future." Before Jia Lian could speak, Lin Zong wanted to go into the room.

Jia Lian naturally refused, and pulled Lin Zongdao, "Uncle just left, and you treat the relatives of the Lin family like this, is it because you want to take over the Lin mansion? Tell me quickly, did you swallow up all the money in the mansion? You slave is such a gutsy dog"

The servant of the Qin family next to him naturally came over to help, and it was a little confusing for a while.

"Come on, throw this rogue out, don't disturb Lord Lin's spirit." Qin Yuan rushed over after receiving the notification from his servants. He didn't panic when he saw such a scene, and directly threw Jia Lian out.

"Do you dare to do this, just think that my Rongning Second House is easy to bully, you dog slaves, you must be the ones who stole my uncle's money, so don't hurry up and call it out.

"Second cousin, please let my father rest in peace." A faint voice came from the door of the mourning hall, and Daiyu stood there in filial piety, not crying, but just quietly looking at Jia Lian, Jia Lian felt terrified at being watched , and saw that the other party was powerful, so he just took care of himself, and just waited for him to go to the government for a while, to see who else would not buy the Rongguo mansion.

The author has something to say: Have you started to miss General Qin?
