Drunk in the Red Chamber Lying on Beauty's Lap

Poor parents in the world.In Lin Ruhai's life, Daiyu was the only daughter, so naturally he had to think more about her.

Lin Ruhai had also thought about the idea of ​​recruiting a son-in-law.But thinking about her daughter's appearance, talent and knowledge, she felt a little embarrassed.

In his opinion, few men in the world are worthy of Yu'er.Not to mention that men who are willing to marry will always have flaws of one kind or another.

It is absolutely unacceptable for his innocent daughter to recruit such a man as her husband.

But letting Daiyu get married made Lin Ruhai even more worried.

The imperial physician had checked her pulse, and Daiyu was frail, and she was afraid that she would be raised forever.

Marrying into someone else's family means being bound by someone else's family.Lin Ruhai didn't believe that any family could spend tens of thousands of taels of silver every year to prepare various health-preserving pills for Daiyu like him.

Lin Ruhai thought hard more than once, but couldn't think of how to solve the two difficult problems.

The second method Baoyu mentioned today is quite in line with his wishes.

He funded the construction of a house for Daiyu and his wife, and the slaves in that house must be from the Lin family, so there is no need to question their loyalty.

If the new son-in-law was an orphan, there would be no problem of discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

I think back when Jia Min first entered the Lin family, he set rules in front of his mother.He was in a dilemma at the time.For the daughter-in-law, it will make the mother sad.To the mother, the daughter-in-law is weak and often sick.

Daiyu's future husband-in-law is alone, so she doesn't have to get along with her mother-in-law.She is in charge of the house, so there shouldn't be any troubles that will make her feel sad.

As for the housekeeper's financial management, Daiyu would learn as long as she wanted to, and if she didn't want to, he would send her a girl who knew how to read accounts.

The more he thought about it, the deeper the smile on the corner of Lin Ruhai's mouth, this is indeed a good way.It's just that good candidates are really hard to find.

Daiyu still has one year to reach Jiji, so he doesn't have much time left, so he has to act as soon as possible.

Baoyu observed Lin Ruhai's expression carefully.Judging from his expression, he should generally agree with these two proposals.After hearing Lin Ruhai's emotion, Baoyu didn't say much.Sister Lin is Lin Ruhai's daughter, presumably he will definitely choose the most suitable husband-in-law for Sister Lin.He doesn't need to worry about that.

Baoyu ate a piece of hibiscus cake, chatted with Lin Ruhai for a while, and then got up to leave.

Lin Ruhai persuaded Baoyu to stay for dinner, but Baoyu declined.Lin Ruhai didn't stay any longer, and personally sent Baoyu out of the gate of Lin's mansion.

Baoyu thought that when he was having dinner with the old lady yesterday, Huan'er seemed to have something to say to him.At that time, there were too many people, and the two had no chance to talk.Today I happened to go over to ask Huan'er if something happened.

Coming out of Lin's mansion, Baoyu told Li Gui and Mingyan to go to the teahouse to listen to books, while he went to the shop managed by Jia Huan alone.This kid is really interested in business, as long as he has nothing else to do, he must watch in the store.

When Baoyu came in, Jia Huan had just made a deal.Seeing Baoyu, he immediately smiled, "Second brother, why are you free to come here today?"

Baoyu laughed and said, "Did you have something to tell me yesterday?"

Jia Huan took Baoyu to the back yard, poured a cup of tea for Baoyu himself, and then smiled embarrassedly, "Second brother, I heard that sister Bao was able to make such a good marriage, and you were the one who led the way. ?”

"Who did you hear? It's nothing."

Baoyu didn't dare to admit it, if Mrs. Wang found out, wouldn't he be blamed to death?

Jia Huan pulled Baoyu's sleeve and begged, "Second Brother, even if you didn't bring about Sister Bao's affairs, it's always true that you have outstanding abilities and a wide network, right?

I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that my second brother can choose a good marriage for my sister.In the past few days, my aunt was very sad in the room. When she mentioned her sister, she kept crying.

It is said that it is because of her bad background that it is difficult for her sister to find a good marriage.She also blamed her own humble background, and also blamed me for my incompetence.

I don't dare to go to see her now, every time I feel full of grievances.Good second brother, as long as you can help my sister find a similar family, I don’t have to worry so much, good brother, help me. "

Baoyu raised his eyebrows, and Jia Huan's lips became more and more slippery.These words were so sincere that he couldn't find a reason not to help.

But Tanchun is indeed a good girl, she is smart and straightforward, and she is not lacking in sophistication.

The only flaw is her status as a concubine.But it's easy to do, just find a husband and son-in-law of the same concubine for her, and don't dislike either of them.

"Okay, I'll think about this matter slowly. Anyway, the third sister is not very old, so just choose a suitable one within a year or two."

"Thank you brother."

When Baoyu returned to Yihong Courtyard, the sky had already darkened slightly.

After going out for a whole day, Baoyu felt tired all over.Let the women boil hot water, and he soaked in a hot bath comfortably.

After getting out of the tub and changing into loose clothes, Baoyu lay lazily on the rocking chair.

"Xi Ren, is there anything special today?"

Xiren was doing needlework on a chair by the window. Hearing this, he thought for a while and said, "I heard that Miss Bao's happy day has been booked, and it will be on the eighth day of the next month."

"So fast?"

"I heard that the man was in a hurry. Madam Wu will let people see it in person. Except for the eighth day of next month, there is only September left. It's a bit late."

"Anything else?"

Xiren laughed and said: "There is nothing important, it's just that the girls are composing poems in the garden today. It seems that Miss Lin has made some good sentences, which amazed the sisters."

Baoyu thought to himself: Baochai, who is evenly matched with Daiyu, has left. Isn't it the turn of sister Lin to show her poetic talent?

Xiren said again: "By the way, this month's monthly payment is a bit late. I asked Ping'er, and she said that the second mistress had already paid it, and let it be used by others. She can only release it when the interest money from other places comes back. "

Baoyu frowned, "She really said that?"

Xiren nodded, "Yes. It's just that Ping'er asked me not to tell outsiders. Anyway, the second master is not an outsider, so if I tell the second master to listen, it's not a violation of Ping'er's instructions."

Baoyu said with a smile: "Good girl, I have told the second master about such a secret, so naturally the second master can't treat you badly. After a while, you can choose a jade pendant from my private room, and I will reward you as the second master."

"Thank you, Second Lord." Xiren replied happily.

After a while, she said again: "Grandma Liu came here with her grandson today, and brought some wild vegetables, melons and fruits. The second grandma showed kindness and let them stay for one night. Unexpectedly, the old lady overheard , and asked who Grandma Liu was. The second grandma came back, but the old lady said, "I just want to talk to an old man, please come and see me."..."

Xiren was talking about how Grandma Liu met Jiamu, when she saw Amber coming in, bowed to Baoyu, and said with a smile, "Second Master Bao, the old lady asked you to come over."
