The Lin Family Shuangshu of the Red Chamber
Chapter 73
After asking for so many, Lin Mojue didn't mind asking for one for Kangxi, after all, this is the emperor, so it would not be good to miss him.
Asking for peace talismans in batches like this made Lin Mojue feel a little blasphemous in his heart, so Lin Mojue asked for himself, only one a day. She lived in a quiet nunnery for fourteen days, asking for one peace talisman every day, and the rest During the time, I followed the two masters, Cihang and Jingyuan, to read and copy scriptures.
Half a month later, Lin Mojue returned to the Lin Mansion, and gave Lin Ruhai, Lin Daiyu, and Lin Jinsan a peace talisman.For the remaining eleven, Lin Mojue asked Lin Ruhai to send them to the capital.Of course Lin Ruhai knew at this time that his youngest daughter was not just asking for a peace talisman for the emperor and the imperial concubine, but he also had one himself, so he was very happy.
Lin Ruhai, Lin Daiyu, and Lin Jin were very happy to receive the peace talisman from Lin Mojue. However, when Lin Mojue came back, they were surprised.
I just went out to ask for a safe talisman once, why did Hongqi change its name to Yinglian?
Yinglian!Another "Dream of Red Mansions" character!
The name of Red Eggplant was changed by Lin Daiyu.The girl Hongqi was completely obsessed with poetry. When Lin Mojue went to the Jingxiu Temple, she only brought Nanny Tong and two maids from Jingren Palace with her. Poetry collection, discuss poetry with her, and finally let Lin Daiyu write a poem for her.Lin Daiyu hasn't hired a teacher yet, and she has no serious homework every day, so she is happy to teach Hongqi and study with her.One day, when the two mentioned "Lian", Lin Daiyu somehow felt that the name "Yinglian" was very suitable for Hongqi, so she changed the name for her.
In fact, Lin Daiyu has always been worried about the names of red eggplant and purple celery.Just like Yinzhen who heard these two names at the beginning, Lin Daiyu couldn't understand how Lin Mojue associated red with eggplant and purple with celery.It's so weird to imagine two kinds of food in that color!
It's just a title, Lin Mojue didn't care too much, if it hadn't been changed to "Yinglian", Lin Mojue would have heard it and understood it.At this moment, Lin Mojue could only sigh in his heart, wondering if this "Yinglian" was really that "true pity".It's just that, even if it is, her fate has been changed like this, so the ending will change anyway, right?
Lin Mojue looked at Yinglian, and said in front of Lin Daiyu, "Go and learn poetry from my sister, you don't need to wait around."
Yinglian became anxious, "Master! The second girl... wants to serve the second girl!"
Lin Mojue smiled at Yinglian: "Now I'm not far behind. I'll learn poetry from my sister, and I won't do this. When I come back, I'll have a lot of knowledge around me."
Yinglian really thought that she was ordered to learn poetry by Lin Daiyu's side, and quickly thanked Lin Mojue happily.Lin Mojue waved his hand to signal her not to be too polite.
Lin Daiyu said to Lin Mojue, "Give it to the girl, why don't you thank me for scooping it up?"
Lin Mojue smiled and said: "We are sisters, what can we thank you for, see you!"
Lin Daiyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "It turns out that sisters have this advantage, but remember."
Lin Mojue looked at Lin Daiyu's actions, and was secretly startled. The original q version of the cute emoji that was snickering turned out to be even cuter!
Lin Daiyu and little sister Lin Mojue talked for a while, and then they broke up, and everyone went to do their own things.
It will be Yinzhen and Yinxiang's birthdays again in October, and now that they are far away, they should start preparing for their birthdays early so that they will not miss the day when they are sent to the capital.Lin Mojue has been copying Buddhist scriptures since now, and it is a birthday present for Yinzhen.As for Yinxiang's gift, Lin Mojue had already selected it for him, it was a Western sword bought from a Western merchant.
Yinxiang's birthday gift changes every year, but Yinzhen's birthday gift seems to remain the same for thousands of years.
Lin Mojue sighed inwardly, but looking through the almanac out of boredom, Lin Mojue found that there is no 29th day in October this year.Lin Mojue was taken aback for a moment, and looked through it again, and it was still not thirty days old.The last day of October this year is the [-]th.Lin Mojue couldn't be sure, so she asked the nuns again, and the nuns told her that the almanac is infallible, and there will be no thirty days in October this year.
Only then did Lin Mojue truly feel the difference between the solar calendar and the lunar calendar.This is the small moon among the big and small moons in the legendary lunar calendar with no rules to follow!There can be no thirty days in the first month, let alone October!
So, there is no birthday on April [-]th this year?
Lin Mojue suddenly discovered that April Si, who was deeply sympathized by her and her cousin, had another sad experience, and it was also a tragedy that was doomed from the moment he was born - he was born on the [-]th day of the lunar calendar, and he might not have a birthday in a certain year , and this possibility is completely unpredictable.
Lin Mojue suddenly decided to give Sisi a distorting mirror instead.Since there is no way to celebrate his birthday on April [-]th this year, she will choose something that she thinks is interesting and give it to him as a usual condolence gift.
The distorting mirror is actually a concave-convex mirror, which is very common in modern times. Because it can shrink or enlarge the original object, it can appear comic comedy effect when taking a distorting mirror.This distorting mirror was also bought by Lin Mojue from a Western merchant.
After Lin Mojue chose the gift, he asked Lin Ruhai to help deliver it to the capital.And in late November, Lin Ruhai himself was going to the capital, and it was time for him to return to Beijing for a job review once every three years.
This time in Beijing, Lin Ruhai once again deeply felt how much his youngest daughter Lin Mojue has received the grace of God.It was he who was going to be briefed. As a result, when the emperor met him, he didn't investigate his work first. Instead, he chatted with him about his youngest daughter, Lin Mojue, and asked Lin Mojue about Lin Mojue's family. Basic necessities of life and many other trivial matters.Lin Ruhai answered one by one in fear.
The last time he returned to Beijing for a briefing, he was specially allowed to meet Lin Mojue. Lin Ruhai already felt deeply favored by the emperor. Now that Lin Mojue has left the palace for almost a year, the emperor still misses him so much?
Such a blessing made Lin Ruhai feel terrified.The so-called companionship is like companionship with a tiger. He lamented that today's son is a wise man, but he didn't want his daughter to have to figure out the king's will from an early age, making it difficult to live a stable life.Although he also likes to get promoted and get rich, he would never think of exchanging his children for more benefits.
However, some things don't work out as expected.
In fact, what Lin Ruhai didn't know was that most of the reason why Kangxi missed Lin Mojue so much was because he couldn't meet the imperial concubine in the harem, and he missed his little daughter very much.
Of course, the matter of the briefing cannot be settled by meeting the emperor once. However, this time when Lin Ruhai met the emperor, except for the mention of the briefing at the beginning and the end, the content of their entire conversation revolved around Lin Mojue. body.
Kneeling down, leaving the palace, and returning to the other courtyard of the Lin family's capital, the housekeeper told Lin Ruhai that he had received an invitation from the Yongjun Prince's Mansion.
When Lin Mojue left the palace, Yinzhen hadn't moved out of the palace yet, but she has been away for so long, there will always be some changes.
Lin Ruhai sighed secretly, his little daughter had a really close relationship with the royal family, and he didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse!
After Lin Ruhai completed his job description, he still continued to serve as his Yangzhou patrol salt censor.And when he left Beijing, he brought a boat full of rewards for Lin Mojue back to Yangzhou.
Lin Mojue was of course very happy to receive the gift, not to mention that there were so many gifts, the quantity alone was enough to make me happy, not to mention, the quality was also guaranteed.It's just that the white jade is slightly flawed, and the fly in the ointment is that Lin Mojue also received such a handwriting from Yinzhen, which slightly affected her mood. The content of this handwriting is very simple: at the end of the year, where are the calligraphy practice manuscripts for one day?
After the Spring Festival, it is the Lantern Festival.This year's Lantern Festival, Lin Mojue finally got to see the lantern festival at night as he wished, but it's a pity that there was a gap of three years, and the people around him had also changed.
Lin Ruhai, as always, took his three treasures out for shopping during holidays. On the Lantern Festival in the 27th year of Kangxi, he took Lin Daiyu, Lin Mojue, and Lin Jin to the market in the morning, listened to "Swordsman" in the afternoon, and Come to the Lantern Festival again to guess riddles.
Jiangnan has a rich cultural atmosphere since ancient times, and it is rich in talents, and all writers, guests and writers like to gather here. Therefore, the Yangzhou Lantern Festival is also very lively, and the voices of reading puzzles and guessing riddles can be heard everywhere.
Lin Mojue followed Lin Ruhai to the Lantern Festival with Lin Daiyu and Lin Jin. Her eyesight was excellent, and she could see all kinds of puzzles from a distance without getting close to the lantern.
Lin Mojue's attention was attracted by a puzzle in response to the Spring Festival scene--puzzle: Keeping the New Year's Eve (a sentence in the Analects of Confucius).
Lin Mojue is very familiar with New Year's Eve, but she is not so familiar with "The Analects of Confucius".In her previous life, when she lived with her grandparents in primary school, Lin Mojue was asked to recite "The Analects of Confucius", but after leaving her grandparents, Lin Mojue didn't read "The Analects of Confucius" much.If she picked up a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" and asked Lin Mojue to explain it, she might still be able to do it, but it was really difficult for her to ask her to pick out a suitable sentence out of thin air.
However, it would be difficult for Lin Mojue to not resolve any doubts.Lin Mojue tugged at Lin Ruhai's sleeve, and asked him, "Daddy, on New Year's Eve, guess what is the answer to a sentence in the Analects of Confucius?"
"I don't sleep all night." Lin Ruhai didn't seem to think about it, so he answered casually. Lin Mojue was amazed. After Lin Ruhai answered, he asked Lin Mojue, "How did you think of asking this?"
"Well," Lin Mojue said, pointing in a certain direction, "I saw it there."
Lin Ruhai laughed, and said, "Daddy just thought it was Xiao Moer who wanted to come out to test Daddy! Since I saw it at the Lantern Festival, let's guess for myself. Daddy won't help anymore!"
Lin Mojue was silent, she was not as powerful as Lin Ruhai imagined.She couldn't even guess it herself, and she even came up with a question to test her family!
Lin Ruhai said again: "There are many everywhere, Xiao Dai'er, Xiao Mo'er, you can choose the lamp you like and guess for yourself. Let the sisters guess which lamp Xiao Jin'er likes. But be careful not to wander around, follow Daddy, don't get separated." Lin Ruhai finished speaking to the three children, and then went to the Lin family who brought them out, "Keep your eyes wide open, don't let the girls and the young master have any trouble!"
The Lin family also brought out a lot of servants today. Lin Daiyu, Lin Mojue, and Lin Jin each had an average of four servants. As long as you pay attention, you won't get lost easily.
Lin Mojue went to look at the lantern riddles, one by one, and finally saw a simple riddle: Zhongni Riyue (She Gu Mingyi).Lin Mojue took a look and guessed the answer: Kong Ming.
Lin Mojue got her first lamp tonight, it was a very simple lantern with almost no pattern decoration.
Lin Mojue didn't guess the lantern riddles because of which lanterns looked good, but guessed which lantern riddles were easy, and scooped up a lantern by the way.
However, what made Lin Mojue feel strange was that she had already scooped up the lamps, but Lin Daiyu didn't have any lamps yet.This girl must be better at guessing lantern riddles than her... Lin Mojue was puzzled, so he stopped watching lantern riddles, but went to Lin Daiyu to guess riddles.
Lin Daiyu was looking at a lamp, and Lin Mojue looked at the lantern riddle on it: Fangling Geometry (she ancient name one).
It's also shooting Gu Mingyi, but Lin Mojue is completely puzzled by this puzzle.
Looking at Lin Daiyu, Lin Mojue also frowned slightly, probably also trying to think about this riddle.After a while, Lin Daiyu stretched her eyebrows, and Lin Mojue thought to herself: I must have guessed it.But seeing that Lin Daiyu didn't say a word, she looked at the next lantern riddle.
Lin Mojue asked Lin Daiyu curiously, "Fang Ling Geometry (she ancient name one), have you guessed it?"
Lin Daiyu parted her lips slightly: "The answer to the riddle is Pan Geng."
"So I guessed it," Lin Mojue asked, "Then why didn't you tell the boss?"
Lin Daiyu curled her lips: "I don't particularly like that lamp either."
This girl dares to guess lantern riddles for the sake of guessing lantern riddles!How high is the pursuit of the family!Compared with her, Lin Mojue has no pursuit!However, Lin Mojue has always agreed that he is someone who has no pursuit.
Lin Mojue asked again: "If you don't tell the boss, how will you know if you guessed it right?"
"Go back and ask Dad."
What a simple matter, Lin Mojue suddenly felt that compared to Lin Daiyu, she seemed to be an idiot.
Look, Lin Daiyu took a look at the next puzzle and passed it. She must have guessed it again. Lin Mojue took a look, but still had no idea.
Lin Mojue secretly competed with this puzzle, since Lin Daiyu guessed it at a glance, she should be able to.
Puzzle: Soaring into the sky from the top of Mount Tai (she ancient name one).
Which ancient is this?
Mount Tai... on the top... soaring... into the sky...
An idea flashed in Lin Mojue's mind, she smiled, it turned out to be really simple.
"The answer to the riddle is Yue Fei, right?" Lin Mojue asked the boss.
Another lamp was scooped up.Still not very beautiful, boxy, straight lanterns.
Lin Mojue also stopped watching Lin Daiyu guess lantern riddles, and continued to find the lantern riddles he knew and guess for fun.Playing, playing, suddenly, Lin Mojue noticed that Yinglian's face behind her didn't seem very good-looking.
Lin Mojue stopped and asked Yinglian, "Is it uncomfortable?"
"Second Miss..." Yinglian's eyes showed confusion and fear, "I don't know why... I saw the fireworks just now... I saw so many lights... I suddenly felt scared..."
Lin Mojue was taken aback for a moment, she remembered that Yinglian in "Dream of Red Mansions" seemed to be lost during the Lantern Festival.Did the scene in front of her remind Yinglian of her childhood?
"This may be a memory from the past. It may be what happened when I saw many lights before. Think about it carefully, and maybe I can recall more of the past." Lin Mojue said slowly, immaturely, in the following way of psychological suggestion. There was a touch of bewitchment in his voice.
"Okay..." Yinglian seemed to be trying to remember, but besides panic, her face began to show pain, "It's so uncomfortable..."
Lin Mojue quickly patted the back of her hand to bring back her deep thinking, "Don't force yourself. We've finished shopping today, so go tell Dad that we're going back first."
Yinglian murmured: "...it's okay...master...continue to guess the lantern riddles."
Lin Mojue said with a smile: "I want to guess the lantern riddles, I will ask my father to solve the riddles when I go back, how much do I want to guess?" After finishing speaking, Lin Mojue stopped talking to Yinglian, and went directly to Lin Ruhai.
The lantern riddles guessed by Lin Daiyu became more and more simple, and she also found it boring, so she also told Lin Ruhai that she wanted to go home. The daughters all said so, and Lin Ruhai naturally took the children back home.As for his son Lin Jin, what did he think?The baby had already fallen asleep in Mammy's arms on the way to the Lantern Festival.
Lin Mojue was fine when she returned to the Lin Mansion. Thinking of the difficulties posed to her by April [-]th, she picked up a pen and briefly described what she saw and heard today.
"Today is the Lantern Festival, in the morning, my father took me and my sister and brother to the street three times... in the evening, we will go to the lantern festival and guess puzzles..."
The "one piece a day", when Lin Mojue first saw it, he couldn't help but think of what he was asked to do when he was a child, to write a diary every day to record what happened that day.Lin Mojue thought of joking at this time, she decided to keep a year's running account, and at the end of this year, send it to the capital for April Fourth, and see what else he will say.Of course, Lin Mojue will write well in every diary.
As soon as the Lantern Festival is over, the New Year is over.Lin Ruhai's work is getting more and more busy, and he doesn't have much time to spend with his children. Lin Daiyu, Lin Mojue, and Lin Jin can only be the housekeeper's housekeeper every day, practice calligraphy, and nourish their bodies.
One day, after dinner, Lin Ruhai called all three of his children to the study, and said to his children solemnly: "Your grandmother has written again, asking you to live in Jia's Mansion in the capital."
Lin Daiyu frowned, pursed her red lips, and looked at Lin Ruhai without speaking.
Lin Jin looked at Lin Ruhai blankly.
Lin Mojue was slightly startled, and thought to himself: It really is so.He also looked at Lin Ruhai silently.
Seeing the three children looking at him, Lin Ruhai sighed deeply, and said, "I'm going to send Xiao Dai'er to Jia's Mansion."
Lin Daiyu was shocked, her apricot eyes were suddenly foggy, and she looked at her father with tears in her eyes.
Lin Jin widened her beautiful eyes, looked at her father and then at her sister.
Lin Mojue was equally astonished. She didn't understand why Lin Ruhai agreed to send the child to Jia's mansion, and she didn't understand why he only sent Lin Daiyu.
This time, Lin Daiyu and Lin Jin remained silent, but Lin Mojue couldn't hold back anymore. She asked Lin Ruhai, "Why did daddy send sister to grandma's house?"
Lin Ruhai sighed again, instead of answering Lin Mojue immediately, he asked Lin Daiyu, "Does Xiao Daier know why Daddy sent her to Jia's house?"
Lin Daiyu nodded slightly, and said with tears in her eyes, "Because she is the eldest daughter."
Something came to Lin Mojue's mind, and Lin Ruhai nodded, and said to Lin Mojue: "Little Mo'er has become a monk since she was a child, so I'm afraid she doesn't know these rules. There have been rules of 'five marriages' since ancient times, one of which is 'No Women and eldest daughters do not marry'. If my elder sister stays at our house, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a good husband's family in the future. Moreover, Jia's family is the mother's natal family, and the mansion is huge. The mother-in-law loves our mother very much. education."
Lin Mojue doesn't know whether Lin Daiyu can get a good education in Jia's house, but she knows that Lin Daiyu will have emotional entanglements with Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai in Jia's house.
When reading the original "Dream of Red Mansions", Lin Mojue felt very sympathetic to Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, a young couple.
However, that is reading novels.
In the book "A Dream of Red Mansions", or in the history of the Qing Dynasty, Jia Baoyu is a very rare man. He fully respects women, and even has remarks that favor women over men, and he himself pursues sexual freedom and liberation.However, Jia Baoyu was still living in a feudal dynasty after all, and was brought up by a family like Jia's family. From the perspective of a modern woman, Lin Mojue, he was too immature to be a good husband choice.Jia Baoyu is suitable for dating, not for marriage.But in this era, the result of love must be marriage, or even only marriage, without love.
Now that Lin Daiyu is Lin Mojue's older sister, Lin Mojue doesn't want to have a brother-in-law like Jia Baoyu.What's more, Jia Baoyu's mother, Mrs. Wang, was determined to match her son with her niece Xue Baochai.Lin Mojue was not optimistic about Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu's married life since she didn't like her mother-in-law from the beginning.
However, where the rules are, Lin Mojue can't do anything about it.The eldest daughter who doesn't have a mistress in the family can't marry, what kind of broken rules is this... Lin Mojue can only complain in his heart, but unfortunately, there is no power to complain.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, Lin Mojue hesitated for a while, then, she looked at Lin Ruhai, and said in a murmur, "Is it... Daddy... marrying another wife... Sister can stop going to grandma's house?"
Lin Ruhai was stunned.Lin Daiyu also stared blankly at Lin Mojue with tears in her eyes.Lin Jin was at a loss again.
Lin Mojue also said: "It's okay not to marry again... There are two aunts in the family, and Dad can choose one of them..."
Lin Mojue watched the reactions of Lin Ruhai, Lin Daiyu and Lin Jinsan while talking, and saw that his words seemed to startle the first two, Lin Mojue didn't finish his sentence, but paused here.Lin Mojue looked at Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu with wide innocent eyes.
It took Lin Ruhai a while to come back to his senses, he looked at Lin Mojue and smiled helplessly, "Little Mo'er's idea really surprised Daddy." He beckoned Lin Mojue to come to him.
Lin Mojue walked up to Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai wanted to pick her up, but couldn't, Lin Ruhai smiled helplessly: "Sure enough, little Mo'er has grown up, Daddy can't even lift her up," Lin Ruhai touched Lin Mojue with a complicated expression "Little Mo'er has been a monk for so many years, she has really become different..." But he didn't know whether this kind of uniqueness would be good or bad for Lin Mojue's future, Lin Ruhai sighed in his heart.
For some reason, there are some things that are not suitable to say to his children, but Lin Ruhai is now talking to his three children, the two daughters of him and Jia Min, Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Mojue and said, " Although Daddy is not infatuated and does not devote himself to our mother, but he only wants to give our mother the title of wife. This is what Daddy promised us."
I wish to have one heart and never forget each other.
Although he couldn't grow old with his wife, he also wanted to have only such a wife when he grew old.
Lin Ruhai was not used to saying such sentimental words to the children. After saying the above words, Lin Ruhai immediately changed the topic, "Besides, our grandmother is getting old, and she must be very sad when she lost her daughter. We went there to express our condolences for the loss of her daughter. Our mother cannot be filial to our grandmother, but we should be filial to our grandmother on behalf of our mother."
Since Lin Ruhai said that he only wanted to marry Jia Minyi, Lin Mojue couldn't say anything more.It was rare to hear such a touching speech, Lin Mojue was too late to be moved, so there was no need to say more.
Lin Daiyu's entry into Jia's mansion was thus finalized.
It was March again in Yangchun, and ships from the capital came to Yangzhou.This time, it was the Jia family who sent to pick up Lin Daiyu, and it was Jia Lian who picked up Lin Daiyu.
Lin Mojue is no stranger to the name Jia Lian, and Jia Lian is one of the important characters in "A Dream of Red Mansions".The Jia family has two mansions, Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion.From the Rongguo Mansion to this generation, there are Jia She and Jia Zheng. Jia She is the eldest son and Jia Zheng is the second son.Jia Lian is the second son of Jia She, but his older brother has died, and Jia She only has Jia Lian as his son.And Jia Zheng's son-in-law is Jia Baoyu, and Jia Baoyu also has an elder brother Jia Zhu who died young.Jia Lian has already married a wife, and his wife is the famous Wang Xifeng, also known as Sister Feng. Of course, this Sister Feng is very different from the "Sister Feng" in modern society.
When Jia Lian came to Lin's mansion, Lin Ruhai's house, after Lin Ruhai received Jia Lian, he asked his servants to invite Lin Daiyu, Lin Mojue and Lin Jin to the hall to meet Jia Lian.
When Lin Mojue saw Jia Lian, he found that the baby's appearance was really good.
When Jia Lian saw Lin Daiyu, Lin Mojue, and Lin Jin who were rushing in like a fish, he greeted them politely with all smiles on his face. He looked at Lin Daiyu and Lin Mojue in amazement, and praised: "The younger sisters at home often boast about how beautiful they are." Well, I saw this pair of cousins today, and I know what it means to be extravagant! A cousin like this can compare with all the younger sisters in the family, let alone another pair! They are really twins, exactly the same Peugeot, I want to praise one Unrivaled in the world will fail! My nephew is so ignorant that I don't know how to praise my cousins!"
Jia Lian not only praised Lin Daiyu and Lin Mojue, but also praised Lin Jin, "Cousin Jin'er was born no worse than the two cousins!" Although there was only one sentence this time, because of the above-mentioned foreshadowing, the effect was generally good.What's more, there is no need to praise the boy's appearance too much.
After praising the three children, Jia Lian concluded to Lin Ruhai: "Uncle is very lucky!"
But all parents like not to praise their children, that would make them more happy than praising them, and Lin Ruhai loves their children very much. At this time, hearing Jia Lian's words, Lin Ruhai's face was full of joy and pride.
Lin Mojue had seen Jia Lian's eloquence.
Jia Lian and the Lin family continued to communicate with each other about their relationship.
Lin Mojue realized that if she discarded the background of Jia Lian's "Dream of Red Mansions", she would still have a good impression of it, because Jia Lian's funny appearance with the Lin family was quite similar to those unscrupulous brothers in her previous life.
However, Jia Lian's move to pick up Lin Daiyu to Jia's mansion made it difficult for Lin Mojue to have a good impression of him.This is directly dragging Lin Daiyu into the fire pit!
Can't just let Lin Daiyu follow Jia Lian to Jia's house, Lin Mojue thought to himself.
I need the help of the fourth brother!Lin Mojue thought about it, and took up a pen to write the diary of the day.
The next day, Lin Mojue found Ziqin and asked her for help, "Zixin, I hope I can go to Jia's mansion with my sister."
Even if Si Si agreed to help take care of Lin Daiyu, a liaison officer was needed to connect the two of them. The group that Lin Mojue brought from the palace to the Lin House could actually take on this task.However, among them, except for Yinglian and Ziqin, the rest are all maids of the palace, and their actions are all subject to Kangxi or Jinyi.Although Yinglian and Ziqin are also serving Lin Mojue in the palace, they have the same status as the court ladies, but they are similar to Lin Mojue, and their identities in the palace are somewhat special. They are not named palace ladies. It can be said that they actually have a free identity .As for Yinglian and Ziqin, Yinglian is stupid, but Ziqin is quick-witted. Of course, Lin Mojue chose Ziqin to help.
After this incident, Lin Mojue also discovered that she needs to train her subordinates. In this era, there are not many of herself, and many things cannot be done.
"I have already written a letter to ask my fourth brother to help the capital to take care of my sister. If I go with you, I can contact them for anything. I won't go to Jia's house for long, and I will go back to the capital in two years at most." Lin Mojue will be able to After explaining the reasons for persuasion, she also expressed to Ziqin that she respected her wishes, and if she was unwilling to follow Lin Daiyu to Jia's mansion, she would not force it.
However, Lin Mojue's words are all about this, how could Ziqin refuse?
"Slaves obey their masters."
Lin Mojue didn't correct Ziqin's address, but just thanked her, "Thank you!"
After the matter was settled, Lin Mojue discussed with Ziqin what to bring to Jia's mansion.This matter is difficult to handle, Lin Mojue has studied it for several days.
Of course, Jia Lian also lived in the Lin family for several days. Although Lin Ruhai had already made up his mind to send Lin Daiyu to Jia's residence, he had already talked about it with Lin Daiyu, Lin Mojue, and Lin Jin before Jia Lian came to the Lin family, but when things came to an end, Lin Ruhai was also reluctant to part with her daughter, so she kept Jia Lian's Lin Mansion again and again, and packed things for Lin Daiyu, box after box.
Jia Lian didn't particularly urge Lin Daiyu to get on the road. He seemed very happy to play in Yangzhou. Fujin Nalashi passed away last September.
Lin Mojue was taken aback when he heard that, September last year?Then Lin Ruhai should be able to know about this when he returned to Beijing to report his duties, but he only brought himself a boatload of gifts when he came back, and if everyone in the palace is good, why didn't he mention this at all?
After Lin Ruhai returned home that day, Lin Mojue asked him if he knew about it.Lin Ruhai said he knew, and without waiting for Lin Mojue to ask why he didn't tell her, Lin Ruhai said by himself: "At that time, the fourth master specifically ordered not to tell such news."
☆, 7575 double retreat (23:06)
No matter how long she stayed, Lin Daiyu finally followed Jia Lian to Jia's mansion in the capital.Lin Mojue still took care of Lin Ruhai and Lin Jin and his son in the Lin Mansion.Lin Daiyu, a sick beauty, made Lin Mojue's task a lot easier. Moreover, Lin Ruhai was not sick, but used diet to take care of his body. After more than a year of taking medicinal baths, Lin Jin's physique is gradually improving. Lin Mojue can do There's really not much left.As a result, Lin Mojue's life became empty, as if something was missing.
On this day, Yinglian suddenly came to Lin Mojue nervously, "Master... the second girl... I remember the Gourd Temple... I remember where my home is..."
Lin Mojue was pleasantly surprised, and quickly asked Yinglian for details.
It turned out that Yinglian had dreamed about some things from her childhood in her sleep yesterday, and she remembered that she was next to the calabash temple in her home.However, this is the only useful information that Yinglian can remember, and she doesn't even remember which city her hometown is.
Lin Mojue also had some impressions of the term "Gourd Temple".She knew a little more than Yinglian, and she vaguely remembered that Yinglian seemed to be a Jinling scholar.Then, this gourd temple should also belong to Jinling.
Although Yinglian didn't say anything, Lin Mojue could see that Yinglian wanted to find her home immediately.Lin Mojue has always hoped to help Yinglian and Ziqin find their home, and at this time, she will naturally try her best to help Yinglian realize her wish.
"Go and ask Dad to find out the location of the Gourd Temple, let's go there again." Lin Mojue said to Yinglian, but she didn't have much hope for the "Gourd Temple", because she remembered the plot in "A Dream of Red Mansions", Yinglian After Lian was abducted, her house caught fire, and then Yinglian's parents moved away. As for the subsequent development, Lin Mojue couldn't remember clearly.But Lin Mojue thought that taking Yinglian to visit Jinling might yield unexpected gains.Lin Mojue even wanted to write a letter to ask her cousin Jin Yi if she remembered Yinglian's life experience and the whereabouts of her parents. However, it would not be good if such a letter fell into the wrong hands, so Lin Mojue put this idea aside.
Informing Lin Ruhai of Yinglian's matter is equivalent to reporting to the official. Lin Ruhai went directly to the normal official process of finding the missing person, and always paid attention to relevant information.Prompted by Lin Mojue, the officials located the Gourd Temple in Jinling, and soon found out the news that eight years ago, the Zhen family next to the Gourd Temple lost a daughter, and that daughter's baby name was Yinglian.
Things went smoothly so far, and after some investigation, the officials found out about the fire in Zhen's house that Lin Mojue knew, and also found out that Yinglian's parents went to Yinglian's grandmother's house.
The destination was announced, and Lin Mojue was going to take Yinglian to Jinling.
Of course Lin Ruhai disagreed with Lin Mojue going to Jinling.Most of the time, his little daughter behaved like a little girl. However, she was only an eight-year-old child after all, how could Lin Ruhai rest assured that she would travel far away.What's more, there is no need for Lin Mojue to follow Yinglian.
However, Lin Mojue insisted.She is really curious about the experience of the era of "Dream of Red Mansions", not only because of her attention to the original work, but also because Lin Mojue feels that her life in this era will be closely related to "Dream of Red Mansions". After all, she can bear the name of sister Lin Daiyu head.
Lin Ruhai was deeply troubled by her youngest daughter's stubbornness, but she could only follow her daughter's wishes, and then sent Duoduo officials to follow them to Jinling.
It was evening when Lin Mojue brought Yinglian to Jinling, even though Yinglian was eager to go home again, she had to stay in Jinling city for the night.
After arranging the residence, Lin Mojue planned to visit the Gourd Temple. When Yinglian heard that Lin Mojue had such a plan, she was very excited, "Master...Second Miss...servant also wants to go."
Lin Mojue smiled and said, "Naturally."
The Gourd Temple remains the same, but the Zhen Mansion no longer exists.
The dazed Yinglian showed a sad look for the first time.
Lin Mojue comforted Yinglian: "As long as the parents return, the home will return."
Yinglian smiled blankly, "Well, as long as parents return, Yinglian's home will return."
Lin Mojue and Yinglian's master and servant were talking and walking, when suddenly, a handsome young man walked towards them.The young man was amazed, he didn't look sideways, he only looked at Yinglian, bowed to her, and said politely: "Xiaosheng Feng Yuan, when he sees a girl, he feels kind, dare to ask her name?"
Yinglian was stunned, then looked at Lin Mojue, "Second Miss..."
Lin Mojue was also dumbfounded. Feng Yuan was also a character in "Dream of Red Mansions". Compared with the ones Lin Mojue met before, "Dream of Red Mansions" can be regarded as a secondary role. His appearances in "Dream of Red Mansions" are very few. mentioned in the accompanying speech.Feng Yuan is a character that is easily overlooked, but his role directly affects Yinglian's fate.It was also because of Yinglian that Lin Mojue remembered Feng Yuan.
In the original book, it is very clearly written that Feng Yuan was originally fond of men, but when he met Yinglian who had grown up on the road, he fell in love at first sight and wanted to marry Yinglian.At that time, Yinglian had been abducted by a kidnapper for about ten years, and it was precisely to sell Yinglian.Kidnap also sold Yinglian to Feng Yuan.If the story only ends here, it may become a love story in ancient times.However, "Dream of Red Mansions" is a great tragedy, and everything in the story has different
Asking for peace talismans in batches like this made Lin Mojue feel a little blasphemous in his heart, so Lin Mojue asked for himself, only one a day. She lived in a quiet nunnery for fourteen days, asking for one peace talisman every day, and the rest During the time, I followed the two masters, Cihang and Jingyuan, to read and copy scriptures.
Half a month later, Lin Mojue returned to the Lin Mansion, and gave Lin Ruhai, Lin Daiyu, and Lin Jinsan a peace talisman.For the remaining eleven, Lin Mojue asked Lin Ruhai to send them to the capital.Of course Lin Ruhai knew at this time that his youngest daughter was not just asking for a peace talisman for the emperor and the imperial concubine, but he also had one himself, so he was very happy.
Lin Ruhai, Lin Daiyu, and Lin Jin were very happy to receive the peace talisman from Lin Mojue. However, when Lin Mojue came back, they were surprised.
I just went out to ask for a safe talisman once, why did Hongqi change its name to Yinglian?
Yinglian!Another "Dream of Red Mansions" character!
The name of Red Eggplant was changed by Lin Daiyu.The girl Hongqi was completely obsessed with poetry. When Lin Mojue went to the Jingxiu Temple, she only brought Nanny Tong and two maids from Jingren Palace with her. Poetry collection, discuss poetry with her, and finally let Lin Daiyu write a poem for her.Lin Daiyu hasn't hired a teacher yet, and she has no serious homework every day, so she is happy to teach Hongqi and study with her.One day, when the two mentioned "Lian", Lin Daiyu somehow felt that the name "Yinglian" was very suitable for Hongqi, so she changed the name for her.
In fact, Lin Daiyu has always been worried about the names of red eggplant and purple celery.Just like Yinzhen who heard these two names at the beginning, Lin Daiyu couldn't understand how Lin Mojue associated red with eggplant and purple with celery.It's so weird to imagine two kinds of food in that color!
It's just a title, Lin Mojue didn't care too much, if it hadn't been changed to "Yinglian", Lin Mojue would have heard it and understood it.At this moment, Lin Mojue could only sigh in his heart, wondering if this "Yinglian" was really that "true pity".It's just that, even if it is, her fate has been changed like this, so the ending will change anyway, right?
Lin Mojue looked at Yinglian, and said in front of Lin Daiyu, "Go and learn poetry from my sister, you don't need to wait around."
Yinglian became anxious, "Master! The second girl... wants to serve the second girl!"
Lin Mojue smiled at Yinglian: "Now I'm not far behind. I'll learn poetry from my sister, and I won't do this. When I come back, I'll have a lot of knowledge around me."
Yinglian really thought that she was ordered to learn poetry by Lin Daiyu's side, and quickly thanked Lin Mojue happily.Lin Mojue waved his hand to signal her not to be too polite.
Lin Daiyu said to Lin Mojue, "Give it to the girl, why don't you thank me for scooping it up?"
Lin Mojue smiled and said: "We are sisters, what can we thank you for, see you!"
Lin Daiyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "It turns out that sisters have this advantage, but remember."
Lin Mojue looked at Lin Daiyu's actions, and was secretly startled. The original q version of the cute emoji that was snickering turned out to be even cuter!
Lin Daiyu and little sister Lin Mojue talked for a while, and then they broke up, and everyone went to do their own things.
It will be Yinzhen and Yinxiang's birthdays again in October, and now that they are far away, they should start preparing for their birthdays early so that they will not miss the day when they are sent to the capital.Lin Mojue has been copying Buddhist scriptures since now, and it is a birthday present for Yinzhen.As for Yinxiang's gift, Lin Mojue had already selected it for him, it was a Western sword bought from a Western merchant.
Yinxiang's birthday gift changes every year, but Yinzhen's birthday gift seems to remain the same for thousands of years.
Lin Mojue sighed inwardly, but looking through the almanac out of boredom, Lin Mojue found that there is no 29th day in October this year.Lin Mojue was taken aback for a moment, and looked through it again, and it was still not thirty days old.The last day of October this year is the [-]th.Lin Mojue couldn't be sure, so she asked the nuns again, and the nuns told her that the almanac is infallible, and there will be no thirty days in October this year.
Only then did Lin Mojue truly feel the difference between the solar calendar and the lunar calendar.This is the small moon among the big and small moons in the legendary lunar calendar with no rules to follow!There can be no thirty days in the first month, let alone October!
So, there is no birthday on April [-]th this year?
Lin Mojue suddenly discovered that April Si, who was deeply sympathized by her and her cousin, had another sad experience, and it was also a tragedy that was doomed from the moment he was born - he was born on the [-]th day of the lunar calendar, and he might not have a birthday in a certain year , and this possibility is completely unpredictable.
Lin Mojue suddenly decided to give Sisi a distorting mirror instead.Since there is no way to celebrate his birthday on April [-]th this year, she will choose something that she thinks is interesting and give it to him as a usual condolence gift.
The distorting mirror is actually a concave-convex mirror, which is very common in modern times. Because it can shrink or enlarge the original object, it can appear comic comedy effect when taking a distorting mirror.This distorting mirror was also bought by Lin Mojue from a Western merchant.
After Lin Mojue chose the gift, he asked Lin Ruhai to help deliver it to the capital.And in late November, Lin Ruhai himself was going to the capital, and it was time for him to return to Beijing for a job review once every three years.
This time in Beijing, Lin Ruhai once again deeply felt how much his youngest daughter Lin Mojue has received the grace of God.It was he who was going to be briefed. As a result, when the emperor met him, he didn't investigate his work first. Instead, he chatted with him about his youngest daughter, Lin Mojue, and asked Lin Mojue about Lin Mojue's family. Basic necessities of life and many other trivial matters.Lin Ruhai answered one by one in fear.
The last time he returned to Beijing for a briefing, he was specially allowed to meet Lin Mojue. Lin Ruhai already felt deeply favored by the emperor. Now that Lin Mojue has left the palace for almost a year, the emperor still misses him so much?
Such a blessing made Lin Ruhai feel terrified.The so-called companionship is like companionship with a tiger. He lamented that today's son is a wise man, but he didn't want his daughter to have to figure out the king's will from an early age, making it difficult to live a stable life.Although he also likes to get promoted and get rich, he would never think of exchanging his children for more benefits.
However, some things don't work out as expected.
In fact, what Lin Ruhai didn't know was that most of the reason why Kangxi missed Lin Mojue so much was because he couldn't meet the imperial concubine in the harem, and he missed his little daughter very much.
Of course, the matter of the briefing cannot be settled by meeting the emperor once. However, this time when Lin Ruhai met the emperor, except for the mention of the briefing at the beginning and the end, the content of their entire conversation revolved around Lin Mojue. body.
Kneeling down, leaving the palace, and returning to the other courtyard of the Lin family's capital, the housekeeper told Lin Ruhai that he had received an invitation from the Yongjun Prince's Mansion.
When Lin Mojue left the palace, Yinzhen hadn't moved out of the palace yet, but she has been away for so long, there will always be some changes.
Lin Ruhai sighed secretly, his little daughter had a really close relationship with the royal family, and he didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse!
After Lin Ruhai completed his job description, he still continued to serve as his Yangzhou patrol salt censor.And when he left Beijing, he brought a boat full of rewards for Lin Mojue back to Yangzhou.
Lin Mojue was of course very happy to receive the gift, not to mention that there were so many gifts, the quantity alone was enough to make me happy, not to mention, the quality was also guaranteed.It's just that the white jade is slightly flawed, and the fly in the ointment is that Lin Mojue also received such a handwriting from Yinzhen, which slightly affected her mood. The content of this handwriting is very simple: at the end of the year, where are the calligraphy practice manuscripts for one day?
After the Spring Festival, it is the Lantern Festival.This year's Lantern Festival, Lin Mojue finally got to see the lantern festival at night as he wished, but it's a pity that there was a gap of three years, and the people around him had also changed.
Lin Ruhai, as always, took his three treasures out for shopping during holidays. On the Lantern Festival in the 27th year of Kangxi, he took Lin Daiyu, Lin Mojue, and Lin Jin to the market in the morning, listened to "Swordsman" in the afternoon, and Come to the Lantern Festival again to guess riddles.
Jiangnan has a rich cultural atmosphere since ancient times, and it is rich in talents, and all writers, guests and writers like to gather here. Therefore, the Yangzhou Lantern Festival is also very lively, and the voices of reading puzzles and guessing riddles can be heard everywhere.
Lin Mojue followed Lin Ruhai to the Lantern Festival with Lin Daiyu and Lin Jin. Her eyesight was excellent, and she could see all kinds of puzzles from a distance without getting close to the lantern.
Lin Mojue's attention was attracted by a puzzle in response to the Spring Festival scene--puzzle: Keeping the New Year's Eve (a sentence in the Analects of Confucius).
Lin Mojue is very familiar with New Year's Eve, but she is not so familiar with "The Analects of Confucius".In her previous life, when she lived with her grandparents in primary school, Lin Mojue was asked to recite "The Analects of Confucius", but after leaving her grandparents, Lin Mojue didn't read "The Analects of Confucius" much.If she picked up a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" and asked Lin Mojue to explain it, she might still be able to do it, but it was really difficult for her to ask her to pick out a suitable sentence out of thin air.
However, it would be difficult for Lin Mojue to not resolve any doubts.Lin Mojue tugged at Lin Ruhai's sleeve, and asked him, "Daddy, on New Year's Eve, guess what is the answer to a sentence in the Analects of Confucius?"
"I don't sleep all night." Lin Ruhai didn't seem to think about it, so he answered casually. Lin Mojue was amazed. After Lin Ruhai answered, he asked Lin Mojue, "How did you think of asking this?"
"Well," Lin Mojue said, pointing in a certain direction, "I saw it there."
Lin Ruhai laughed, and said, "Daddy just thought it was Xiao Moer who wanted to come out to test Daddy! Since I saw it at the Lantern Festival, let's guess for myself. Daddy won't help anymore!"
Lin Mojue was silent, she was not as powerful as Lin Ruhai imagined.She couldn't even guess it herself, and she even came up with a question to test her family!
Lin Ruhai said again: "There are many everywhere, Xiao Dai'er, Xiao Mo'er, you can choose the lamp you like and guess for yourself. Let the sisters guess which lamp Xiao Jin'er likes. But be careful not to wander around, follow Daddy, don't get separated." Lin Ruhai finished speaking to the three children, and then went to the Lin family who brought them out, "Keep your eyes wide open, don't let the girls and the young master have any trouble!"
The Lin family also brought out a lot of servants today. Lin Daiyu, Lin Mojue, and Lin Jin each had an average of four servants. As long as you pay attention, you won't get lost easily.
Lin Mojue went to look at the lantern riddles, one by one, and finally saw a simple riddle: Zhongni Riyue (She Gu Mingyi).Lin Mojue took a look and guessed the answer: Kong Ming.
Lin Mojue got her first lamp tonight, it was a very simple lantern with almost no pattern decoration.
Lin Mojue didn't guess the lantern riddles because of which lanterns looked good, but guessed which lantern riddles were easy, and scooped up a lantern by the way.
However, what made Lin Mojue feel strange was that she had already scooped up the lamps, but Lin Daiyu didn't have any lamps yet.This girl must be better at guessing lantern riddles than her... Lin Mojue was puzzled, so he stopped watching lantern riddles, but went to Lin Daiyu to guess riddles.
Lin Daiyu was looking at a lamp, and Lin Mojue looked at the lantern riddle on it: Fangling Geometry (she ancient name one).
It's also shooting Gu Mingyi, but Lin Mojue is completely puzzled by this puzzle.
Looking at Lin Daiyu, Lin Mojue also frowned slightly, probably also trying to think about this riddle.After a while, Lin Daiyu stretched her eyebrows, and Lin Mojue thought to herself: I must have guessed it.But seeing that Lin Daiyu didn't say a word, she looked at the next lantern riddle.
Lin Mojue asked Lin Daiyu curiously, "Fang Ling Geometry (she ancient name one), have you guessed it?"
Lin Daiyu parted her lips slightly: "The answer to the riddle is Pan Geng."
"So I guessed it," Lin Mojue asked, "Then why didn't you tell the boss?"
Lin Daiyu curled her lips: "I don't particularly like that lamp either."
This girl dares to guess lantern riddles for the sake of guessing lantern riddles!How high is the pursuit of the family!Compared with her, Lin Mojue has no pursuit!However, Lin Mojue has always agreed that he is someone who has no pursuit.
Lin Mojue asked again: "If you don't tell the boss, how will you know if you guessed it right?"
"Go back and ask Dad."
What a simple matter, Lin Mojue suddenly felt that compared to Lin Daiyu, she seemed to be an idiot.
Look, Lin Daiyu took a look at the next puzzle and passed it. She must have guessed it again. Lin Mojue took a look, but still had no idea.
Lin Mojue secretly competed with this puzzle, since Lin Daiyu guessed it at a glance, she should be able to.
Puzzle: Soaring into the sky from the top of Mount Tai (she ancient name one).
Which ancient is this?
Mount Tai... on the top... soaring... into the sky...
An idea flashed in Lin Mojue's mind, she smiled, it turned out to be really simple.
"The answer to the riddle is Yue Fei, right?" Lin Mojue asked the boss.
Another lamp was scooped up.Still not very beautiful, boxy, straight lanterns.
Lin Mojue also stopped watching Lin Daiyu guess lantern riddles, and continued to find the lantern riddles he knew and guess for fun.Playing, playing, suddenly, Lin Mojue noticed that Yinglian's face behind her didn't seem very good-looking.
Lin Mojue stopped and asked Yinglian, "Is it uncomfortable?"
"Second Miss..." Yinglian's eyes showed confusion and fear, "I don't know why... I saw the fireworks just now... I saw so many lights... I suddenly felt scared..."
Lin Mojue was taken aback for a moment, she remembered that Yinglian in "Dream of Red Mansions" seemed to be lost during the Lantern Festival.Did the scene in front of her remind Yinglian of her childhood?
"This may be a memory from the past. It may be what happened when I saw many lights before. Think about it carefully, and maybe I can recall more of the past." Lin Mojue said slowly, immaturely, in the following way of psychological suggestion. There was a touch of bewitchment in his voice.
"Okay..." Yinglian seemed to be trying to remember, but besides panic, her face began to show pain, "It's so uncomfortable..."
Lin Mojue quickly patted the back of her hand to bring back her deep thinking, "Don't force yourself. We've finished shopping today, so go tell Dad that we're going back first."
Yinglian murmured: "...it's okay...master...continue to guess the lantern riddles."
Lin Mojue said with a smile: "I want to guess the lantern riddles, I will ask my father to solve the riddles when I go back, how much do I want to guess?" After finishing speaking, Lin Mojue stopped talking to Yinglian, and went directly to Lin Ruhai.
The lantern riddles guessed by Lin Daiyu became more and more simple, and she also found it boring, so she also told Lin Ruhai that she wanted to go home. The daughters all said so, and Lin Ruhai naturally took the children back home.As for his son Lin Jin, what did he think?The baby had already fallen asleep in Mammy's arms on the way to the Lantern Festival.
Lin Mojue was fine when she returned to the Lin Mansion. Thinking of the difficulties posed to her by April [-]th, she picked up a pen and briefly described what she saw and heard today.
"Today is the Lantern Festival, in the morning, my father took me and my sister and brother to the street three times... in the evening, we will go to the lantern festival and guess puzzles..."
The "one piece a day", when Lin Mojue first saw it, he couldn't help but think of what he was asked to do when he was a child, to write a diary every day to record what happened that day.Lin Mojue thought of joking at this time, she decided to keep a year's running account, and at the end of this year, send it to the capital for April Fourth, and see what else he will say.Of course, Lin Mojue will write well in every diary.
As soon as the Lantern Festival is over, the New Year is over.Lin Ruhai's work is getting more and more busy, and he doesn't have much time to spend with his children. Lin Daiyu, Lin Mojue, and Lin Jin can only be the housekeeper's housekeeper every day, practice calligraphy, and nourish their bodies.
One day, after dinner, Lin Ruhai called all three of his children to the study, and said to his children solemnly: "Your grandmother has written again, asking you to live in Jia's Mansion in the capital."
Lin Daiyu frowned, pursed her red lips, and looked at Lin Ruhai without speaking.
Lin Jin looked at Lin Ruhai blankly.
Lin Mojue was slightly startled, and thought to himself: It really is so.He also looked at Lin Ruhai silently.
Seeing the three children looking at him, Lin Ruhai sighed deeply, and said, "I'm going to send Xiao Dai'er to Jia's Mansion."
Lin Daiyu was shocked, her apricot eyes were suddenly foggy, and she looked at her father with tears in her eyes.
Lin Jin widened her beautiful eyes, looked at her father and then at her sister.
Lin Mojue was equally astonished. She didn't understand why Lin Ruhai agreed to send the child to Jia's mansion, and she didn't understand why he only sent Lin Daiyu.
This time, Lin Daiyu and Lin Jin remained silent, but Lin Mojue couldn't hold back anymore. She asked Lin Ruhai, "Why did daddy send sister to grandma's house?"
Lin Ruhai sighed again, instead of answering Lin Mojue immediately, he asked Lin Daiyu, "Does Xiao Daier know why Daddy sent her to Jia's house?"
Lin Daiyu nodded slightly, and said with tears in her eyes, "Because she is the eldest daughter."
Something came to Lin Mojue's mind, and Lin Ruhai nodded, and said to Lin Mojue: "Little Mo'er has become a monk since she was a child, so I'm afraid she doesn't know these rules. There have been rules of 'five marriages' since ancient times, one of which is 'No Women and eldest daughters do not marry'. If my elder sister stays at our house, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a good husband's family in the future. Moreover, Jia's family is the mother's natal family, and the mansion is huge. The mother-in-law loves our mother very much. education."
Lin Mojue doesn't know whether Lin Daiyu can get a good education in Jia's house, but she knows that Lin Daiyu will have emotional entanglements with Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai in Jia's house.
When reading the original "Dream of Red Mansions", Lin Mojue felt very sympathetic to Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, a young couple.
However, that is reading novels.
In the book "A Dream of Red Mansions", or in the history of the Qing Dynasty, Jia Baoyu is a very rare man. He fully respects women, and even has remarks that favor women over men, and he himself pursues sexual freedom and liberation.However, Jia Baoyu was still living in a feudal dynasty after all, and was brought up by a family like Jia's family. From the perspective of a modern woman, Lin Mojue, he was too immature to be a good husband choice.Jia Baoyu is suitable for dating, not for marriage.But in this era, the result of love must be marriage, or even only marriage, without love.
Now that Lin Daiyu is Lin Mojue's older sister, Lin Mojue doesn't want to have a brother-in-law like Jia Baoyu.What's more, Jia Baoyu's mother, Mrs. Wang, was determined to match her son with her niece Xue Baochai.Lin Mojue was not optimistic about Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu's married life since she didn't like her mother-in-law from the beginning.
However, where the rules are, Lin Mojue can't do anything about it.The eldest daughter who doesn't have a mistress in the family can't marry, what kind of broken rules is this... Lin Mojue can only complain in his heart, but unfortunately, there is no power to complain.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, Lin Mojue hesitated for a while, then, she looked at Lin Ruhai, and said in a murmur, "Is it... Daddy... marrying another wife... Sister can stop going to grandma's house?"
Lin Ruhai was stunned.Lin Daiyu also stared blankly at Lin Mojue with tears in her eyes.Lin Jin was at a loss again.
Lin Mojue also said: "It's okay not to marry again... There are two aunts in the family, and Dad can choose one of them..."
Lin Mojue watched the reactions of Lin Ruhai, Lin Daiyu and Lin Jinsan while talking, and saw that his words seemed to startle the first two, Lin Mojue didn't finish his sentence, but paused here.Lin Mojue looked at Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu with wide innocent eyes.
It took Lin Ruhai a while to come back to his senses, he looked at Lin Mojue and smiled helplessly, "Little Mo'er's idea really surprised Daddy." He beckoned Lin Mojue to come to him.
Lin Mojue walked up to Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai wanted to pick her up, but couldn't, Lin Ruhai smiled helplessly: "Sure enough, little Mo'er has grown up, Daddy can't even lift her up," Lin Ruhai touched Lin Mojue with a complicated expression "Little Mo'er has been a monk for so many years, she has really become different..." But he didn't know whether this kind of uniqueness would be good or bad for Lin Mojue's future, Lin Ruhai sighed in his heart.
For some reason, there are some things that are not suitable to say to his children, but Lin Ruhai is now talking to his three children, the two daughters of him and Jia Min, Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Mojue and said, " Although Daddy is not infatuated and does not devote himself to our mother, but he only wants to give our mother the title of wife. This is what Daddy promised us."
I wish to have one heart and never forget each other.
Although he couldn't grow old with his wife, he also wanted to have only such a wife when he grew old.
Lin Ruhai was not used to saying such sentimental words to the children. After saying the above words, Lin Ruhai immediately changed the topic, "Besides, our grandmother is getting old, and she must be very sad when she lost her daughter. We went there to express our condolences for the loss of her daughter. Our mother cannot be filial to our grandmother, but we should be filial to our grandmother on behalf of our mother."
Since Lin Ruhai said that he only wanted to marry Jia Minyi, Lin Mojue couldn't say anything more.It was rare to hear such a touching speech, Lin Mojue was too late to be moved, so there was no need to say more.
Lin Daiyu's entry into Jia's mansion was thus finalized.
It was March again in Yangchun, and ships from the capital came to Yangzhou.This time, it was the Jia family who sent to pick up Lin Daiyu, and it was Jia Lian who picked up Lin Daiyu.
Lin Mojue is no stranger to the name Jia Lian, and Jia Lian is one of the important characters in "A Dream of Red Mansions".The Jia family has two mansions, Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion.From the Rongguo Mansion to this generation, there are Jia She and Jia Zheng. Jia She is the eldest son and Jia Zheng is the second son.Jia Lian is the second son of Jia She, but his older brother has died, and Jia She only has Jia Lian as his son.And Jia Zheng's son-in-law is Jia Baoyu, and Jia Baoyu also has an elder brother Jia Zhu who died young.Jia Lian has already married a wife, and his wife is the famous Wang Xifeng, also known as Sister Feng. Of course, this Sister Feng is very different from the "Sister Feng" in modern society.
When Jia Lian came to Lin's mansion, Lin Ruhai's house, after Lin Ruhai received Jia Lian, he asked his servants to invite Lin Daiyu, Lin Mojue and Lin Jin to the hall to meet Jia Lian.
When Lin Mojue saw Jia Lian, he found that the baby's appearance was really good.
When Jia Lian saw Lin Daiyu, Lin Mojue, and Lin Jin who were rushing in like a fish, he greeted them politely with all smiles on his face. He looked at Lin Daiyu and Lin Mojue in amazement, and praised: "The younger sisters at home often boast about how beautiful they are." Well, I saw this pair of cousins today, and I know what it means to be extravagant! A cousin like this can compare with all the younger sisters in the family, let alone another pair! They are really twins, exactly the same Peugeot, I want to praise one Unrivaled in the world will fail! My nephew is so ignorant that I don't know how to praise my cousins!"
Jia Lian not only praised Lin Daiyu and Lin Mojue, but also praised Lin Jin, "Cousin Jin'er was born no worse than the two cousins!" Although there was only one sentence this time, because of the above-mentioned foreshadowing, the effect was generally good.What's more, there is no need to praise the boy's appearance too much.
After praising the three children, Jia Lian concluded to Lin Ruhai: "Uncle is very lucky!"
But all parents like not to praise their children, that would make them more happy than praising them, and Lin Ruhai loves their children very much. At this time, hearing Jia Lian's words, Lin Ruhai's face was full of joy and pride.
Lin Mojue had seen Jia Lian's eloquence.
Jia Lian and the Lin family continued to communicate with each other about their relationship.
Lin Mojue realized that if she discarded the background of Jia Lian's "Dream of Red Mansions", she would still have a good impression of it, because Jia Lian's funny appearance with the Lin family was quite similar to those unscrupulous brothers in her previous life.
However, Jia Lian's move to pick up Lin Daiyu to Jia's mansion made it difficult for Lin Mojue to have a good impression of him.This is directly dragging Lin Daiyu into the fire pit!
Can't just let Lin Daiyu follow Jia Lian to Jia's house, Lin Mojue thought to himself.
I need the help of the fourth brother!Lin Mojue thought about it, and took up a pen to write the diary of the day.
The next day, Lin Mojue found Ziqin and asked her for help, "Zixin, I hope I can go to Jia's mansion with my sister."
Even if Si Si agreed to help take care of Lin Daiyu, a liaison officer was needed to connect the two of them. The group that Lin Mojue brought from the palace to the Lin House could actually take on this task.However, among them, except for Yinglian and Ziqin, the rest are all maids of the palace, and their actions are all subject to Kangxi or Jinyi.Although Yinglian and Ziqin are also serving Lin Mojue in the palace, they have the same status as the court ladies, but they are similar to Lin Mojue, and their identities in the palace are somewhat special. They are not named palace ladies. It can be said that they actually have a free identity .As for Yinglian and Ziqin, Yinglian is stupid, but Ziqin is quick-witted. Of course, Lin Mojue chose Ziqin to help.
After this incident, Lin Mojue also discovered that she needs to train her subordinates. In this era, there are not many of herself, and many things cannot be done.
"I have already written a letter to ask my fourth brother to help the capital to take care of my sister. If I go with you, I can contact them for anything. I won't go to Jia's house for long, and I will go back to the capital in two years at most." Lin Mojue will be able to After explaining the reasons for persuasion, she also expressed to Ziqin that she respected her wishes, and if she was unwilling to follow Lin Daiyu to Jia's mansion, she would not force it.
However, Lin Mojue's words are all about this, how could Ziqin refuse?
"Slaves obey their masters."
Lin Mojue didn't correct Ziqin's address, but just thanked her, "Thank you!"
After the matter was settled, Lin Mojue discussed with Ziqin what to bring to Jia's mansion.This matter is difficult to handle, Lin Mojue has studied it for several days.
Of course, Jia Lian also lived in the Lin family for several days. Although Lin Ruhai had already made up his mind to send Lin Daiyu to Jia's residence, he had already talked about it with Lin Daiyu, Lin Mojue, and Lin Jin before Jia Lian came to the Lin family, but when things came to an end, Lin Ruhai was also reluctant to part with her daughter, so she kept Jia Lian's Lin Mansion again and again, and packed things for Lin Daiyu, box after box.
Jia Lian didn't particularly urge Lin Daiyu to get on the road. He seemed very happy to play in Yangzhou. Fujin Nalashi passed away last September.
Lin Mojue was taken aback when he heard that, September last year?Then Lin Ruhai should be able to know about this when he returned to Beijing to report his duties, but he only brought himself a boatload of gifts when he came back, and if everyone in the palace is good, why didn't he mention this at all?
After Lin Ruhai returned home that day, Lin Mojue asked him if he knew about it.Lin Ruhai said he knew, and without waiting for Lin Mojue to ask why he didn't tell her, Lin Ruhai said by himself: "At that time, the fourth master specifically ordered not to tell such news."
☆, 7575 double retreat (23:06)
No matter how long she stayed, Lin Daiyu finally followed Jia Lian to Jia's mansion in the capital.Lin Mojue still took care of Lin Ruhai and Lin Jin and his son in the Lin Mansion.Lin Daiyu, a sick beauty, made Lin Mojue's task a lot easier. Moreover, Lin Ruhai was not sick, but used diet to take care of his body. After more than a year of taking medicinal baths, Lin Jin's physique is gradually improving. Lin Mojue can do There's really not much left.As a result, Lin Mojue's life became empty, as if something was missing.
On this day, Yinglian suddenly came to Lin Mojue nervously, "Master... the second girl... I remember the Gourd Temple... I remember where my home is..."
Lin Mojue was pleasantly surprised, and quickly asked Yinglian for details.
It turned out that Yinglian had dreamed about some things from her childhood in her sleep yesterday, and she remembered that she was next to the calabash temple in her home.However, this is the only useful information that Yinglian can remember, and she doesn't even remember which city her hometown is.
Lin Mojue also had some impressions of the term "Gourd Temple".She knew a little more than Yinglian, and she vaguely remembered that Yinglian seemed to be a Jinling scholar.Then, this gourd temple should also belong to Jinling.
Although Yinglian didn't say anything, Lin Mojue could see that Yinglian wanted to find her home immediately.Lin Mojue has always hoped to help Yinglian and Ziqin find their home, and at this time, she will naturally try her best to help Yinglian realize her wish.
"Go and ask Dad to find out the location of the Gourd Temple, let's go there again." Lin Mojue said to Yinglian, but she didn't have much hope for the "Gourd Temple", because she remembered the plot in "A Dream of Red Mansions", Yinglian After Lian was abducted, her house caught fire, and then Yinglian's parents moved away. As for the subsequent development, Lin Mojue couldn't remember clearly.But Lin Mojue thought that taking Yinglian to visit Jinling might yield unexpected gains.Lin Mojue even wanted to write a letter to ask her cousin Jin Yi if she remembered Yinglian's life experience and the whereabouts of her parents. However, it would not be good if such a letter fell into the wrong hands, so Lin Mojue put this idea aside.
Informing Lin Ruhai of Yinglian's matter is equivalent to reporting to the official. Lin Ruhai went directly to the normal official process of finding the missing person, and always paid attention to relevant information.Prompted by Lin Mojue, the officials located the Gourd Temple in Jinling, and soon found out the news that eight years ago, the Zhen family next to the Gourd Temple lost a daughter, and that daughter's baby name was Yinglian.
Things went smoothly so far, and after some investigation, the officials found out about the fire in Zhen's house that Lin Mojue knew, and also found out that Yinglian's parents went to Yinglian's grandmother's house.
The destination was announced, and Lin Mojue was going to take Yinglian to Jinling.
Of course Lin Ruhai disagreed with Lin Mojue going to Jinling.Most of the time, his little daughter behaved like a little girl. However, she was only an eight-year-old child after all, how could Lin Ruhai rest assured that she would travel far away.What's more, there is no need for Lin Mojue to follow Yinglian.
However, Lin Mojue insisted.She is really curious about the experience of the era of "Dream of Red Mansions", not only because of her attention to the original work, but also because Lin Mojue feels that her life in this era will be closely related to "Dream of Red Mansions". After all, she can bear the name of sister Lin Daiyu head.
Lin Ruhai was deeply troubled by her youngest daughter's stubbornness, but she could only follow her daughter's wishes, and then sent Duoduo officials to follow them to Jinling.
It was evening when Lin Mojue brought Yinglian to Jinling, even though Yinglian was eager to go home again, she had to stay in Jinling city for the night.
After arranging the residence, Lin Mojue planned to visit the Gourd Temple. When Yinglian heard that Lin Mojue had such a plan, she was very excited, "Master...Second Miss...servant also wants to go."
Lin Mojue smiled and said, "Naturally."
The Gourd Temple remains the same, but the Zhen Mansion no longer exists.
The dazed Yinglian showed a sad look for the first time.
Lin Mojue comforted Yinglian: "As long as the parents return, the home will return."
Yinglian smiled blankly, "Well, as long as parents return, Yinglian's home will return."
Lin Mojue and Yinglian's master and servant were talking and walking, when suddenly, a handsome young man walked towards them.The young man was amazed, he didn't look sideways, he only looked at Yinglian, bowed to her, and said politely: "Xiaosheng Feng Yuan, when he sees a girl, he feels kind, dare to ask her name?"
Yinglian was stunned, then looked at Lin Mojue, "Second Miss..."
Lin Mojue was also dumbfounded. Feng Yuan was also a character in "Dream of Red Mansions". Compared with the ones Lin Mojue met before, "Dream of Red Mansions" can be regarded as a secondary role. His appearances in "Dream of Red Mansions" are very few. mentioned in the accompanying speech.Feng Yuan is a character that is easily overlooked, but his role directly affects Yinglian's fate.It was also because of Yinglian that Lin Mojue remembered Feng Yuan.
In the original book, it is very clearly written that Feng Yuan was originally fond of men, but when he met Yinglian who had grown up on the road, he fell in love at first sight and wanted to marry Yinglian.At that time, Yinglian had been abducted by a kidnapper for about ten years, and it was precisely to sell Yinglian.Kidnap also sold Yinglian to Feng Yuan.If the story only ends here, it may become a love story in ancient times.However, "Dream of Red Mansions" is a great tragedy, and everything in the story has different
