[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Lin Jian's heart moved when she heard the words, and she asked her softly, "What are you doing in Jia's Mansion?"

He remembered that the marriage between Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai should be held in these two days, but he thought that Lin Daiyu's going to Jia's mansion was definitely not for the marriage of those two.

She hadn't set foot in Jia's mansion for a long time, and now she passed by suddenly, there must be something wrong.

Seeing Lin Daiyu's blushing cheeks, Lin Jian was still a little curious, and he didn't know what kind of thing made Lin Daiyu have such a reaction.

Lin Daiyu replied softly: "Before my father passed away, he wrote a letter to my grandmother, entrusting my life-long affairs to my grandmother."

Lin Daiyu paused at this point, Lin Jian listened quietly, then nodded with a smile.

Don't say it was him, in fact, everyone in the family knew about it.It is because of this letter in the hands of Jia's mother that he will have to go to Jia's mansion if he wants to marry and propose marriage in the future.

Lin Daiyu knew that Lin Jian was waiting for her next words, so she pursed her lips lightly, mustered up the courage to endure the shame in her heart and looked at Lin Jian, she looked straight into Lin Jian's eyes and said slowly: "Third Brother, I'll go Jia's mansion went to look for my grandmother. I asked her to read my late father's letter."

"My late father said in the letter that I entrusted her with my life's important affairs. But because I am getting older and now I have reached the right age, if there are any problems with him, I don't want to delay because of him. The matter of keeping filial piety is all based on the heart, three years is too long, and the custom of the Great Zhou Dynasty has always been a one-year period, so what my late father meant was that he wanted me to get engaged first, and then we can get married after the one-year period expires. My late father said that only when I get married can he feel at ease, otherwise he will always be worried."

"I copied the letter, third brother, take a look."

Lin Jian took the letter from Lin Daiyu, and read it carefully under the light of the fire outside. Lin Daiyu's handwriting was beautiful, and the letter could be read smoothly. Lin Jian read every word carefully.

The letter is full of sincerity, full of a seriously ill father's reluctance and deep affection for his daughter who has not yet left the cabinet.

Lin Jian vaguely guessed what Lin Daiyu meant, but he didn't point it out. He just held the letter in his hand after reading the letter, looked at Lin Daiyu quietly and smiled, "Yu'er, there are three months left, and you will be a year old." It's time for filial piety."

His face was calm, but his pupils shone brightly under the firelight, and there was a dark tide in his heart.

Did Lin Daiyu show him this letter to imply that he could propose marriage now and set the marriage date in three months?

Lin Jian's heart was surging, and then he hesitated and worried, feeling that something was not at the right time.Now that he is in prison and the plan is still in progress, how can he go to Jia's mansion to propose marriage?The timing is wrong.

Lin Daiyu nodded and said yes, then looked at Lin Jian with clear, thorough and affectionate eyes and said, "Third brother, my aunt told me in private that you have your concerns about marriage, and you have things to do right now, third brother I don't want to kiss before the dust is settled, I know that third brother doesn't want me to be involved in these disputes."

"But third brother, those are actually not important to me. You don't need to worry about this. I have already told my aunt, and now I will talk to third brother again. Actually, I want to take care of you in a legitimate way. "

Lin Daiyu wanted to be with Lin Jian justifiably, wanted to settle down with him in a down-to-earth manner.

She had always had this thought. When she heard that Lin Jian was in prison, when she came to see him just now, and saw Lin Jian standing in the cell in his underwear, this thought was extremely strong.

The Lin family are all open-minded and upright people. Regarding her marriage with Lin Jian, Lin Jian cared about her thin face and never said much, but Qiao Shi had already told Lin Daiyu in private, Lin Jian and Qiao Shi Her affairs were always arranged properly and thoughtfully, Lin Daiyu felt grateful and followed Lin Jian's arrangements.

But as soon as this incident happened, Lin Daiyu felt sorry for Lin Jian, and she also wanted to take care of Lin Jian, especially after being in contact with the Sheng family and Yan family these days, she wanted to be with Lin Jian well. It was about to come out.

As the relationship grew stronger, he felt that Lin Jian's worries were no longer important.

Now that Jia's mansion is calm, it is indeed time to propose a marriage.

When she went to Jia's mansion to ask Mother Jia for Lin Ruhai's letter, she also told Qiao Shi in advance. Qiao Shi was moved and cherished her affection. If she was not afraid of being watched by others, Qiao Shi would have gone with Lin Daiyu. .

In the end, it was Qiao's who sent someone to protect Lin Daiyu and go to Jia's mansion, and then copied Lin Ruhai's letter.

To be honest, as far as Lin Jian and Lin Daiyu's marriage is concerned, everyone in the family was moved by Lin Daiyu's heart, and they all knew about these things. Now Lin Daiyu came to visit Lin Jian in prison, but she was the last to tell.

At this point, there is no need to say anything more, not to mention these words are not hints, they should be explicit.

Lin Jian looked at Lin Daiyu with a smile for a moment, he wanted to put the letter in his arms, but before he stuffed the letter into his lapel, he remembered that he was still in prison, so he handed the letter back to Lin Daiyu, He asked her to put it away, and then asked her softly with a smile: "Yu'er, is there any talk about my imprisonment outside now?"

After receiving the letter, Lin Daiyu replied: "As the third brother expected, the third brother has not been in prison for a long time, but there are many discussions outside, all saying that the third brother has committed a big mistake this time, and there is evidence, and he should be severely punished according to the law. Just wait for the investigation results of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to come down, and the Holy Majesty will make a verdict."

It is often said that good things do not go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.Lin Jian had been in prison for less than half a day, and the news had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

Even if the people of the Lin family ignored the discussions outside, the people outside would not let the Lin family go easily.What's more, when Lin Jian went to prison, the family members knew that this was Lin Jian's plan, but they couldn't tell everyone they met. In order not to destroy Lin Jian's plan, he naturally had to pretend to be anxious and worried. Many of Lin Jian's courtiers also came to visit Lin Hong, and even secretly thought of a way like Xiao Yu.

It was quiet when Lin Jian was in prison, but there was a commotion outside because of this.

Lin Jian had already expected these things, Lin Jian felt that it was not important, and it was not the point he wanted to know, so he just listened to Lin Daiyu quietly, without saying anything more.

When Lin Daiyu talked about the rumors and discussions in the streets and alleys that Qian Ying came back from inquiring about, Lin Jian's eyes lighted up slightly, and he listened attentively.

Qian Ying inquired about the news of her return.It is said that when Lin Jian's current incident happened, the good reputation he had built up after the complete file was announced by the Metropolitan Procuratorate was ruined.

There were already some discussions in the public, coupled with the guidance of someone with a heart behind them, it was said that Lin Jian attacked his colleagues and ministers. Because Shen Shu, the king of Xining County, conquered Lingnan, and his son Shen Qiao had been guarding Lingnan for many years, the Shen family also had some members among the people. It is hoped that Lin Jian's criticism and frame will naturally cause some dissatisfaction.

This public opinion slowly spread, and according to Lin Daiyu's estimate, within a few days, Lin Jian's reputation would definitely be damaged.

The incident happened suddenly, but Lin Jian had planned it long ago. He had told Qian Ying that if there were any rumors in the city, there was no need to add fuel to the flames, and there was no need to trace the source, as long as it was found out that someone was behind it. Who is the person with a heart.

As long as someone deliberately tarnishes his reputation, it means that a fish has taken his hook.

Lin Jian put aside these calculations, looked at Lin Daiyu and smiled, leaned closer to her, and said softly: "Yu'er, you have a very good reputation outside the world now, Mr. Lin and you are both highly respected among civil servants. The female relatives of the half-civilian families in China and Thailand like you very much. Even if you don’t tell me, I will know. You go to Jia’s mansion at this time and copy out Lin Gong’s letter for me to read. It’s not just the thoughts you said, Right?"

Lin Jian whispered bluntly what he felt about Lin Daiyu's mind, "You're thinking, if I get engaged to you, I'll be considered as a civil official, and my reputation won't be damaged too much, yes Right? You want to use your own method to help me."

Lin Jian is a meticulous person, this kind of person who is delicate in his thoughts, observes his words, reads his words and deduces others' thoughts, Lin Daiyu also knows that she can't hide it from him for too long.

Just a few words during this meeting revealed her intentions, Lin Daiyu only blushed slightly, she pursed her lips lightly, stared quietly at Lin Jian, and asked him: "Third brother, I just think so, how about that?" Will you do what I want?"

Lin Jian couldn't stand Lin Daiyu looking at him like this, and his heart became softer and softer. He was wearing shackles, and it was actually not convenient to hold Lin Daiyu's hands, and even though it was spring, the shackles were made of iron, and they were tight against the skin. It was the cold, he was afraid that the ice would hit Lin Daiyu, so he used his other hand to grab the shackles on his hand and put them firmly in his arms.

Hearing Lin Daiyu's soft voice asking him, Lin Jian gently opened the hand holding Lin Daiyu, rolled back the shackles on her wrists, and then fixed the shackles that were about the same thickness as a woman's wrists on her left hand After taking it away, he stretched out his right hand carefully to hold Lin Daiyu's back neck and embrace her in his arms.

He leaned over and pressed a soft kiss on her forehead.

He whispered softly in her ear: "Marriage matters are all ordered by the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Since mother is willing to call you, you must have discussed everything. If you ask me like this, how can I be willing to refuse? If it is a matter, the parents must come forward. Parents are the ones who decide, and I have no objection."

The place on Lin Daiyu's forehead where Lin Jian kissed was still slightly hot, she lowered her eyes slightly, her cheeks flushed, she whispered to Lin Jian, "Third brother, we won't let others know about our two engagements until you go out." Yes. The family will tell the Jia family not to let them speak out on the grounds that the filial piety period has not yet expired. I know you still have important matters to attend to, so let's settle the matter of getting married quietly first, and it will not affect your important matters."

Lin Daiyu was also thoughtful, she told Lin Jian what she had discussed with Mrs. Qiao, and now she was satisfied with Lin Jian's consent, and the other things were handled by her elders. When her life was settled, her heart was also She settled down with her. As for the rest, she listened to Lin Jian's arrangements.
