The Second Young Master of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

In the era when Lin Yu lived, one of the most meaningful things during Chinese New Year was to receive lucky money, especially when his parents were still alive, as long as he said "Gong Xi Fa Cai, bring the red envelope" on the first day of the new year, it must be The harvest was quite fruitful, but after they died, no one gave Lin Yu the New Year's money. The uncle and third uncle pretended not to know, but the uncle and third aunt thought it was not worthwhile. Giving the new year's money to other people's children, there is a reason There is a past, given to Lin Yu, that is, there is no return. Although grandma has the heart, she doesn't have that condition.

But today, hearing the four words "Congratulations to the New Year" from the milk baby brother, Lin Yu didn't even think about it, so he took the following sentence, but after he finished speaking, he realized that such straightforward words were spoken in the Lin family , Is it a bit out of date and inappropriate?

In fact, if Lin Yu was a few years older, this kind of behavior of directly asking the elders for red envelopes would definitely be regarded as a lack of etiquette, but now he is just a little baby who is not yet one year old, and it would be nice if he could say auspicious words. Who cares about the content, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min couldn't help laughing when they heard the words, they only thought that the youngest son was so interesting.After laughing, Jia Min took out three red brocade bags from his arms, one for each person.

Lin Yu grinned as he grabbed the brocade bag. Feeling heavy, he couldn't help tearing it open to look at it. Unfortunately, the rope was tied very artistically. His chubby hands didn't listen to instructions, and he couldn't untie it. It was Mother Tong. Unable to see it any longer, she stepped forward to help and opened the brocade bag.

There were four carefully crafted gold lockets in the bag. Lin Yu took a closer look and found a naive little monkey on it. He looked around and saw that the milk baby's gold lockets were the same as his own, and the top was also Monkey, but on Lin Daiyu's golden scorpion is a cute lamb. Lin Yu immediately understood that this is based on their zodiac signs. Daiyu is a sheep, and he and Naiwa are both monkeys.

"Monkey monkey, little monkey monkey..." Lin Yu shouted, grabbing his golden handle, then pointed to Daiyu's, and said instead: "Goat, little goat..." Ever since she found Daiyu and her grandmother Lin Yu no longer dared to hide Brother Wa's intelligence. Although he has the brain of an adult, his body is that of a baby. There are many things he can think of but can't do. It's not good. I really want to be compared by two real children. Lin Yu doesn't want to compete with others, but she doesn't want to be too embarrassing.

"My brother's is the same, and my sister's is different." No, before Lin Yu finished speaking, the milk baby added.If he hadn't eaten and slept with people every day, Lin Yu would have suspected that this person was either time-traveled or reborn. Unfortunately, Hong Guoguo's facts told him that the milk doll was the original one, and he was just smaller than ordinary ones. Children, who are smarter and more mature, really can't afford to be hurt.

"Your brother is so smart!" Lin Daiyu didn't express her opinion on Jin Kaizi, but held each other with each other, showing the posture of a big sister.The sons and daughters are extremely intelligent, and the siblings are deeply affectionate. Seeing this situation, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were overjoyed, and their joy was beyond words.

As the saying goes, the first month is full of years, so Lin Yu's red envelope shape has been maintained for nearly a month.Not only that, but Lin Ruhai is the highest-ranking local official in Yangzhou. Since the second day of the first lunar month, people have come to pay New Year's greetings with their families.A group of official wives gathered together, and the most talked about children were children. People like Lin Yu and milk dolls were exhibits, and they had to be carried out for display from time to time. Fortunately, everyone who came was prepared After this new year, Lin Yu's personal coffers have become much richer.

Most of the aristocrats of the aristocratic family, the brothers and sisters in the family are in charge of the gifts received by the brothers and sisters during the festivals and when they go out to meet guests.The three Lin Yu brothers and sisters are too young, so they are all done by the nanny. They don't know how to ask about the things in Daiyu and the baby doll's room, and they haven't reached that age yet. I have never seen anything valuable before, and now that there are so many treasures suddenly, I feel really uncomfortable when I take them out to count and touch them from time to time.In order not to arouse suspicion, Lin Yu usually plays with shiny or colorful gadgets in her hands. Nanny Tong knows that this is a child's nature, so she doesn't care, but she doesn't want Lin Yu to think about it. value of something.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lin Ruhai took his wife and children out to watch the dragon lantern dance at the most famous viewing platform in Yangzhou City.Looking up, the lights are dim everywhere, and the sky is full of fiery trees and silver flowers. Not to mention Lin Yu, a little country bumpkin who has never seen the world, and Daiyu and the milk baby who are also going out for the first time, are also stunned. Without blinking, for fear of missing any good scenery.Lin Ruhai was also very proud when he saw that his meticulous arrangement was supported by others. Children, who doesn't like excitement, look at the joy.

"Oh! Oh!!" Lin Yu raised her little hand, pointed at the fireworks blooming in the sky, and shouted happily.He suddenly discovered that being a little baby is still very happy. You can cry when you want, laugh when you want, and you don't have to worry about anything, let alone what other people think. It's really good.

"Brother, look!" The milk baby stretched out his hand, grabbed Lin Yu's hand, and showed him his latest discovery.Lin Yu didn't refuse, but shook his hand back. With such a cute little brother growing up with him, his second baby life is really not lonely at all.

After celebrating the New Year with excitement, winter is almost over, and with spring comes Lin Daiyu's second birthday.Because it was a child, and it was not an important birthday like the first year of life, Jia Min didn't do anything about it. He didn't even invite a single outsider. He just made some new clothes for Daiyu, made some new jewelry, and the whole family gathered together. They had a meal together, asked Lin Yu and Naiwa to bow to her sister, said a few words of congratulations, and rewarded Daiyu's servants with a month's worth of silver, which was considered to be over.

What Jia Min really prepared with all his heart was the two sons' Catch-the-Zhou Ceremony, which was a big deal.Not long after Daiyu's birthday passed, a strange thing happened to the Lin family.One day, a monk with a scarlet head suddenly came to the door and said that he would transform Lin Daiyu to become a monk, but Lin Ruhai refused.The scarlet-headed monk said again, "Since I don't want to part with her, I'm afraid that her illness will never recover. If she wants to recover, unless she is not allowed to cry from now on, except for parents, anyone who has relatives and friends with other surnames, Only by seeing nothing at all can we live in peace in this life.”

Lin Ruhai saw that the monk was mad and talking nonsense, he was furious immediately, and ordered people to drive him out without saying anything, and also strictly ordered his servants not to let him in again.It is true that Daiyu was not in very good health when she was born, but how many young children of wealthy families are not like this. For children, it is inevitable that they will be weaker, and it will be fine to take care of them slowly.Like his Yu'er, he ate and played with his younger brothers in the past few months, and even led the nanny to teach them how to walk, and his body gradually improved, so how could he let him talk nonsense.

Lin Ruhai was furious, and told Jia Min about it when he returned to the back house, regardless of the three children who were next to him. Anyway, they were too young to understand.Jia Min was displeased when she heard that, her own child's body was known to be the same, how could it be spread everywhere, if Daiyu grew up and had a reputation of being weak and sick, why not talk about it.The same goes for the monk, how could he casually turn a two or three-year-old girl into a monk? Does he have the compassion of the Buddhist school? Jia Min thinks he might be a liar.

Just as Lin Ruhai thought, Daiyu and Naiwawa couldn't understand what they were saying at all, and continued to play with themselves, only Lin Yu showed a thoughtful expression.In the original book, didn't monk Lin Daiyu visit Lin Daiyu when he was three years old? Why is he here now?

He thought about it again, the ancients calculated their ages as false years, and Daiyu's two-year-old birthday has passed, so she is three years old.Judging from the plot of the original book, the monk's prophecy was correct. Daiyu went to Jia's house, met relatives and friends with other surnames, paid off the debts of her previous life, and died with tears.

Even so, Lin Yu also believes that Daiyu's ending like this is better than being a monk at a young age and living alone with Gudeng Gufo all his life.Such a way out, it is better not to have, not to mention far away, just look at Miaoyu who is in a similar situation, she has become a monk, but in the end she is not doomed.

Of course, since Lin Yu is here, he will try his best to avoid the above two situations.In any case, it is easier to save the fate of the Lin family than the Jia family, especially since he has such a good helper as the baby brother.As long as the two brothers grow up safely and maintain a healthy competitive relationship, Lin Daiyu's fate will naturally change, and if they live well, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai may not leave so early, but Lin Yu doesn't know, the original death How did that kid get there?

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min didn't take the matter of the monk with a scarlet head to heart, and it was over after a few curses. It's just impossible, never mention it again.

But Lin Yu knew that in the Zhen family next to the Gourd Temple, Zhen Shiyin was the daughter of Zhen Shiyin who disappeared and was taken away by them after the family business collapsed. Died at the hands of Xue Pan and Xia Jingui.

Lin Yu is not the holy father, and he doesn't want to save every poor person in the original book, but Yinglian is different. Her relationship with Daiyu, and the Feng family's allusions to the Lin family, these are all things that Lin Yu can't help but care about. Lian has already been abducted, and he is too young to do anything. He can only wait for the development of the plot and make plans when Xue's family goes to Beijing. If possible, he will try to save that unlucky Feng Yuan together.
