[Red Mansion] Reborn Lin Ruhai

The Xue family in Jinling City.

This Xue family is the sister's family that Mrs. Wang misses so much.Xue Wang lost her husband in her early years and had only one son, named Xue Pan, whose name was Wenqi.This Xue Pan was spoiled by his widowed mother since he was a child, so he was extravagant and arrogant, and he developed an ignorant temperament.He is now in his teens, and he hates reading books. He only knows how to fight cocks and run dogs every day. They were afraid of the power of the Xue family and did not dare to resist. Now the people in Jinling City grit their teeth with hatred when they mention this person, but they can't do anything.

This Wang Xue family also has a daughter named Baochai, who is nine years old, not only has a good appearance, but also has an elegant and quiet personality, and she has a bit more understanding in reading than her brother.It's just that Xue Baochai was born in a merchant's family since childhood, and has been influenced by many people's sophistication.Therefore, at a young age, I have already been infected with a lot of worldly atmosphere. Knowing that the family of noble officials believes that "a woman is virtuous if she is ignorant", she does not care about reading and writing. Only pay attention to the matter of needles and maids.

One day, Xue Baochai was sitting on a small couch with two maids, drawing pictures. His mother Xue Wangshi came in from the outside with a smile, and waved her hands to let the maids back down.Xue Baochai also hurriedly put down her pen, stood up to say hello, Xue Wang pulled her daughter up, took her hand lovingly, and they sat down together.Seeing his mother's happy face, Xue Baochai couldn't help laughing and said, "Mom is in good spirits today, but what's the happy event? I guess it must be a letter from my aunt, or uncle, is that right?"

Xue Wang said with a smile: "You are a ghost. If your brother is half as good as you, I will be relieved. It is your aunt's letter, saying that we will go to Beijing. Since your father left, our old friends have also gone. A lot has been broken, and your brother is a prodigal and careless person, and he has gradually declined in recent years. I thought about it, instead of letting him run amok in Jinling, it is better to go to the capital. With your uncle and uncle in custody, he will not Dare to go too far. If you teach me more, you won’t be able to improve.”

Xue Baochai pursed her lips indistinctly, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change, as far as his brother's temper is concerned, he may not be able to improve even if he is taught.

Mrs. Xue didn't know what was on her daughter's mind, so she patted her head, and continued: "Furthermore, I have to think about it for you. This year, there is a flood in the south of the Yangtze River. The Holy One cares about the people and avoids the draft, but it may not be the case next time." .According to the rules of the palace draft, there is an election every three years. You are now over nine years old, and your birthday is in the first month. Three years later, after your 12th birthday, you will be 13 years old. You can also participate. In three years, you have to study hard to learn the rules, your aunt wrote to say that the nuns in their house are all excellent, you go there and follow the aunts and sisters, and also learn the rules of the princes of the government."

She didn't say a word, the Xue family said it was an imperial merchant with huge wealth, but it just sounded nice.The so-called "scholar, farmer, businessman" ranks last, but in the eyes of the aristocratic family, it is still not in the mainstream.But Jia’s mansion is different, at least it’s a public house, and it’s all in contact with the dignitaries in Beijing. When Baochai enters Jia’s mansion, he also has the opportunity to meet those nobles such as the princess and Mrs. Gao Ming. Whose eyes, the future is boundless.

"That's what mom said, and I think so too..." Xue Baochai lowered her head and said.She has been high-minded since she was a child, and her family in Jinling is second to none. There is really no rich family that she can look up to.But it will be different if you go to the capital, not to mention that there are rich and powerful, but the fact that you have the opportunity to enter the palace is enough to attract people.She asked herself that she was the best in both looks and skills, so was she afraid that she would not be able to get ahead?

"Good boy..." Xue Wang embraced her daughter with a smile, thinking about what her sister said in the letter, and fell into deep thought.

It turned out that in the letter Mrs. Wang confided in her wish to be married, and asked Mrs. Xue to make a golden lock for Baochai to wear. On it, the eight characters "never leave, never leave, and stay forever" are chiseled on it, which is similar to that of Jia Baoyu. The title of the psychic gem "don't lose, don't forget, immortal life and eternal prosperity" corresponds to the meaning of "golden and jade marriage".

It's better not to tell Baochai about these things, Xue Wang thought.

But Jinsuo still wants to make one as soon as possible. She has seen Baoyu's child before, he is very good, and his appearance is worthy of Baochai.And he is deeply loved by his grandmother, the old lady in Jia's mansion is in charge of everything in Jia's mansion, and Baoyu will belong to him from now on.If Baochai couldn't enter the palace, Baoyu would be the next best choice.Although the title of the Jia family has been passed down for several generations, it has gone through several levels, but after all it still bears the sign of the Duke's Mansion, and if it is said, others have to take a high look, it is better than their family of merchants.

At the moment, Xue Wangshi has a good plan, but it must be known that things did not develop according to her plan.

Beijing Linfu.

In the small study, Lin Daiyu was sitting by the window, resting her chin in one hand and holding a letter in the other.

"Miss reading the letter again? Didn't the master say he'll be back soon? The village has just delivered some fresh melons and fruits. Ladies, wash your hands and eat some!" Mo Lan walked in with a smile on her face, stretching out her hand to follow three or four little girls. A child, holding washbasins, towels and other toilet utensils.Lin Daiyu put down the letter paper, turned her head and smiled, two dimples formed on her cheeks, "Sister Mo Lan, what kind of melon and fruit is it?" The little girl holding the basin came to her while she was speaking, knelt down, Mo Lan Lan rolled up Lin Daiyu's sleeves and said, "There are apples, red dates, grapes, and such big pomegranates, such big red persimmons..."

Mo Lan said that she made an exaggerated gesture with her hands, which made Lin Daiyu smile with her lips closed, and even asked someone to bring it in quickly. Mo Lan said with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, I just brought it with you." Soil, Mother Qin is sending someone to wash it? It will be delivered in a while, but the girl can’t eat too much, it’s not fun to have a bad stomach. By the way, there are two little rabbits. It’s in the cage, and if the girl likes it, let the girl play with it.”

When Lin Daiyu heard about the rabbit, she immediately became interested, and hurriedly pouted her mouth to make a girl in Tsing Yi standing beside her: "Go and get it for me to see! Be careful, don't hurt the little rabbit..."

The little girl took the order to go, and came back with a cage in a short time.It turned out to be two little white rabbits, about the size of the mouth of a bowl, all white, only two red eyes, very cute to look at.Lin Daiyu couldn't help but slowly stretched her hand into the cage, before touching the fluffy white rabbit, she didn't want the rabbit to jump suddenly, so scared that Daiyu quickly retracted, patted her chest in fear, and laughed.He also took a few tender grasses from the little girl, and carefully stretched them in. Two little white rabbits fought to eat them. Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up, and she ordered the cage to be opened, and one of them was taken out.

After eating the fruit again, Lin Daiyu took all the maidservants to play in the garden. The two rabbits are very small and move very slowly, so children can easily catch up with them.Lin Daiyu released the rabbits to chase after them for a while, then sat down on the mountain stone, and let the maids watch the rabbits and let them play freely.As soon as Lin Daiyu sat down, she heard someone shouting from afar: "Girl, don't sit on a cold stone, be careful of the cold!"

Lin Daiyu looked back and saw that it was Aunt Li, so she smiled and said, "Aunt Li is here too!"

Aunt Li walked over quickly, and said with a smile all over her face: "I'm bored here, come out for a walk, I don't think the girl is also interested in this, but don't sit on that cold stone." She took a mattress from a girl behind her. , said: "When I have nothing to do, I often come to sit in the garden. This is very clean, the girl will just sit for a while!"

"How good is this..." Lin Daiyu was about to refuse, but Aunt Li had already put the mattress beside Daiyu's lap, but Lin Daiyu refused, so she had to thank her and sit down.Aunt Li took Daiyu to ask her about her health, and even asked about food and daily life.Lin Daiyu was so industrious and earnest that she almost couldn't stand it, so she had to say that she was tired and went back to rest.

Aunt Li squinted, watching Daiyu's figure walking away, couldn't help twisting her face, the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn.Hmph, she's just a little girl, if she dares not to take her seriously, then don't blame her for being ruthless!Aunt Li wanted to brush her hand angrily over the rock beside Lin Daiyu just now, her tentacles were warm, she couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly lowered her head to look, it turned out that the first-placed warm jade was as warm as fat in color and texture.Aunt Li knew that Daiyu had just fallen, and it was worth a lot of money at first glance, and it was worth a thousand gold if it was taken out.Then he quickly grabbed it, stuffed it into the sleeve, and turned to Cui'er, "It's a bad day, let's go back!"
