The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

In the 26th year of Hongzheng, the first day of the first month.

Lin Yao was lying on the bed with a sad face. He just drank a few more drinks with his friends on New Year's Eve, so he wouldn't just die drunk and travel back to ancient times, and he would dress like a six or seven-year-old child, right?

As for the child in the original body, he died in the high fever last night, otherwise he wouldn't have taken over his body.

I don't know if it was because when he crossed over, the soul of the original body hadn't completely dissipated, so that he received some remaining memories of the original body. At most, these memories helped Lin Yao understand his current identity and situation. There was no help for his future life, and even after reading the memories, he couldn't help but sympathize with the original body.

The original body had the same name and surname as him, and his mother, Luo Shi, was filling a house. She had a dystocia when giving birth to him, injured her body, and died half a year later.His father's name is Lin Run, and he is the second master of the Lin family. Because when Lin Yao was born, it happened to be the year of the township examination. After Lin Run failed the township examination and his wife died, he blamed everything on the original body. Bad character, Ke died and his biological mother brought him bad luck.

Under such circumstances, one can imagine what kind of life the original body lived.

What was even more unlucky was that after the Chinese New Year, the original body had just held the Catch Ceremony, and the next day when my grandfather was out meeting friends, he met a bandit and was killed.

After Yuanchen's grandfather died, Yuanchen's grandmother also felt that Lin Yao was a disaster, so Yuanzheng never saw her grandmother after her first birthday, and only Yuanchen's second elder brother, Lin Ying, was the only one in the whole house to protect him wholeheartedly. This is all due to the fact that the original mother, Luo Shi, married back in the past, and treated the son of this original spouse as her own, so Lin Ying thought of the goodness of this stepmother, and was willing to protect the original body, but Lin Ying is not too old The original body was seven or eight years old, and he was also a child, so he was limited in what he could protect.

The reason why Yuanshen died last night was because he was not taken seriously in this mansion, and the servants under him didn't take it seriously. There was only one nanny and maid by Yuanshen's side, both of whom were left behind by Yuanshen's biological mother. people.

Nanny Song is the nanny of Yuanchen's mother. Nanny Song's child died very early, so she treats Yuanchen's mother as her own daughter. After Yuanchen's mother passed away, she couldn't let go of Yuanchen and voluntarily stayed to take care of him. , and the maid Bi Wan is just a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, she was rescued by the original mother on the way back when she went to the temple to make a vow. Come down and take care of the original body.

After sorting out the information, Lin Yao couldn't help sighing: What kind of human suffering is this?

Suddenly there was a pleasant sound of music, and Lin Yao was a little dazed. She couldn't help but sat up and looked around, trying to find out where the sound came from.

She glanced everywhere but saw nothing, but the music was echoing in her ears. Lin Yao slowly frowned, lowered her head subconsciously and saw white light shining on the wrist of her left hand.

Lin Yao:? ? ?

Why do wrists glow?

He raised his hand suspiciously, but saw a bracelet on his wrist, the kind of health bracelet tied to a mobile phone. Lin Yao's eyes lit up when she thought of the novels she had read before.

Could this be his golden finger?

He rubbed the screen of the bracelet excitedly, and saw a light pop out from the bracelet, unfolding a panel.

The panel is very simple

Name: Lin Yao.

Age: 7 years old (physical age) 23 years old (soul age)

Reputation: 0

Points: 0

There is another row at the bottom of the panel. The first one is a bag icon with the word [Backpack] written on it, next to it is an icon of a scroll with [Task] written on it, and next to it is an icon of a house, which says [Mall], next to it is an icon of a gift box, with [Welfare] written below it.

These four icons are all gray. Lin Yao clicked on them one by one, and the same small word was displayed on the icons.

【This function has not been unlocked yet】.

Lin Yao frowned, nothing was unlocked, just a panel, what can I do!

Other people's cheats are gifted with one or the other, but all of his are unlocked, it's fine if they are not unlocked, and if you don't tell him how to unlock these functions, life is too difficult, isn't it?

Just as she was lamenting the hardship of life, she heard the sound of the door opening, followed by Bi Wan's angry voice.

"The master is really too much. The third master is the wife's only son, and he is also a serious heir. How can he adopt him?"

Lin Yao was taken aback, adoptive?

Thinking of Yuan Shen's father's indifferent face in his memory, Lin Yao felt that it was not surprising at all, but the strange thing was that he was not too young, who would want to adopt a child as old as him?Are you not afraid of not being familiar with it?

"Bi Wan!" Nanny Song's voice was a little harsh, she shouted, and the room fell silent.

After a while, Nanny Song sighed, "Brother's situation in this mansion, you and I know very well, the situation was critical last night, and I almost couldn't be rescued, if the second master hadn't got the letter and invited the doctor over Seeing a doctor, even if my brother..." The words came to his lips, he swallowed again, and paused, "It's fine if you adopt him, the mansion over there is the direct line of our Lin family, and he is still an official. The future is boundless.”

"But……"

"It's nothing to worry about. The ancestral hall has been opened, and my brother's genealogy has also been changed. The master is determined to adopt my brother. We are slaves, so we don't have the right to call the shots."

While the two of them were talking, they had already entered the room, only to find that Lin Yao had woken up. Thinking of what she said just now, her expression changed slightly. Although Nanny Song thought it would be a good thing to adopt her, Lin Yao was still young after all. Does he feel abandoned?

Lin Yao lay on the bed with a calm face.

However, Nanny Song was a little apprehensive, she walked to the side of the bed, tucked the quilt up for Lin Yao, "Did you hear me?"

Lin Yao hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Nanny Song looked at the well-behaved Lin Yao, her eyes were full of distress, "Master opened the ancestral hall today, adopted you out, and will send you to Yangzhou in two days." Nanny Song choked up a bit as she spoke, He picked up the veil and wiped the corners of his eyes.

Yangzhou?Lin Yao was a little puzzled, why did she go to Yangzhou?Isn't the adoptive person the direct line of the Lin family?

The ancestral home of the Lin family is Gusu, so there is no reason to go to Yangzhou!

Nanny Song didn't know what Lin Yao was thinking, so she continued, "But brother, don't worry, I've already inquired about it. The mansion over there belongs to the direct line of our Lin family. I ordered this year's Yangzhou Xunyan Yushi, who married a noble daughter of the Duke's mansion. The wife who was in charge gave birth to a daughter in the previous birth, and later gave birth to a son. Unfortunately, he was weak and died of an accident last year. Now there Only the concubine born by the wife is left in the mansion, and the concubines have no children, so the master over there wrote a letter to propose adoption, but it is only to discuss with the clan, if he does not want to, he will not force it, only our master... ..."

Can't wait to adopt you out.

Although Nanny Song swallowed her words, Lin Yao knew in her heart that it was a perfectly normal thing for Yuan Shen's father to adopt him out given that Yuan Chen's own father didn't like him.

No wonder Nanny Song said she would send him to Yangzhou. Since the old man was going to take up his post, he naturally didn't have time to come over in person.

"I'm already six or seven years old, and the master over there is also willing to adopt?"

He doesn't understand the rules of adoption, but even in modern times, when adopting a child, the younger the better, for fear of not being familiar with it, this kind of thing is the same in ancient and modern times, right?Six or seven years old like him should be considered overage?

Nanny Song sighed, "I don't know, my Lin family is not prosperous, so our master married two wives one after another. The former wife gave birth to two sons for the master. With you, the entire Lin clan, and only our master's descendants will prosper, and you are the youngest, so naturally you were chosen."

No wonder...it turned out that there was no other choice.

Seeing that Lin Yao didn't speak, Nanny Song thought he was uneasy, so she comforted him, "Although Mrs. Lin couldn't come here in person, she sent the chief manager of the mansion to pick her up. It's not that she doesn't value you, brother, don't worry."

Lin Yao: ...

To be honest, he wasn't worried about anything, and was even a little happy.

But he wasn't stupid enough to say it.

He smiled at Nanny Song, "Don't worry, Mammy, I'm fine." After a pause, he changed the subject, "Mammy said that the wife in the house over there gave birth to a girl, I don't know how old she is."

You have to know whether it is a sister or a sister.

"Just five years old this year, two years younger than you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao began to calculate the age of her future parents based on the younger sister's age.

In ancient times, people got married very early, and most of them got married and had children in their teens. This younger sister is only five years old this year, so the master over there is at most 30 years old.

Lin Yao wanted to cover her forehead. His real age is 23, which is only a few years younger, which is a bit embarrassing.

Hey, forget it, I don't want these anymore.

Lin Yao pretended to be curious and inquired about the news of the mansion there, until he heard the name of this cheap girl from Nanny Song.

He was shocked in his heart, and asked stiffly, "Mammy, what did you say just now... what is the sister's baby name?"

"My breast name is Daiyu, what's the matter?"

Daiyu, surnamed Lin.

Isn't that Lin Daiyu? !

He has never read the famous novel Dream of the Red Chamber, but he has heard of Lin Daiyu's name, her talent, her tragic experience, and her early death...

Lin Daiyu, the father of the Xunyan Yushi, and the mother of the Duke's Mansion.

Isn't this the member of Lin Daiyu's family of three, the heroine of "A Dream of Red Mansions"?

But he has never heard that Lin Daiyu has an adopted brother in the original work, and he has never read the original work, so he is not sure whether there is such a thing as Lin Ruhai's adoptive son in the original work.

If there is...

As far as he knew, the Lin family, including Lin Daiyu, were all dead.

Lin Yao suddenly became terrified.

If there is such a thing as adoption in the original book, wouldn't he die soon?

No no no, there must be something wrong!

Lin Yao continued to inquire about news about the Lin Mansion from Nanny Song, and Nanny Song also inquired seriously for Lin Yao's sake, not to mention that Lin Yao's question was not private.

What is the master's name over there, what is the wife's last name, which family of the Duke's mansion he was born in, etc., all of these are well known.

However, after Lin Yao asked clearly, she was in a bad mood.

The master over there is called Lin Hai, with the character Ru Hai, and his first wife's surname is Jia, who was born in the Rongguo Mansion of Jia's family in Jinling.

That's right, it's that Lin Daiyu!

Lin Yao stopped asking, and she was still in a bad mood. Nanny Song suddenly became worried, "Brother, what's wrong?"

"Ah?" Lin Yao came back to her senses. When she saw Nanny Song looking at him worriedly, her heart tightened. He seemed to be a little too relaxed, expressing all his emotions directly. The situation is special right now. Nanny Song may not think deeply about his abnormal behavior, if he continues to behave like this in the future, Nanny Song will inevitably find out that something is wrong.

Lin Yao secretly woke up, collected her thoughts, and said with a smile, "I'm fine, I'm just a little hungry."

It's not a lie, he hasn't eaten anything today.

Hearing that Lin Yao said she was hungry, Nanny Song patted her forehead, "It's all my fault, the adoption happened so suddenly, I almost forgot that my brother hasn't eaten yet, Bi Wan, go to the kitchen to get some food, be careful, my brother is sick Still not healed."

Bi Wan got the order and went out.

Lin Yao lay on the bed and closed her eyes, pretending to rest with her eyes closed, but her heart could not calm down.

Although the original body didn't get sick very often in his memory, it can't be used as a reference. If he became a sick child because of the high fever this time, it seems understandable that he died early in the original book.

Lin Yao regrets not reading the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber very much at the moment. Although he has read one or two novels of Dream of the Red Chamber, they are all the harem novels of nerds. I remember that the hero took in a lot of girls, but who remembers the plot?

He has no photographic memory.

Before the crossing, he was a 1.8-meter-high man anyway, not to mention anything else, at least he had a healthy body, and there was no shortage of garage deposits. After this crossing, not only did he lose his mother, but his father also hated him. Being adopted out, this body is suspected to be a sick child. The whole family who was adopted was full of premature deaths, and now this whole family seems to include him.

What kind of human suffering is this? !
