The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Chapter 2 Sister Lin 2 Enters the Rongguo Mansion, Brother Mo 1 Rebukes Jia Jialang

The emperor's imperial decree, let alone others, Jia Lian, who was taking Daiyu to take care of his uncle's funeral in Yangzhou City, complained endlessly.When he came, he had received a secret order from Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang to take back the Lin family's property, and Mo taught the Lin family's offshoots to take advantage of it.Also, when Na Lin Hai was in office, he repeatedly pointed out that the Zhen family was engaging in favoritism and malpractice in the salt administration.

What's more, Lin Mo was still a stubborn and honest child, he felt that he had to do his best to be a son of filial piety when he took the title of other people, so he applied to Ding You with the Holy Majesty, and came all the way to Yangzhou for the funeral.

Although this Lin Mo is young, but now he is also a marquis, and he has won the holy family, so it may be difficult to play any tricks in his hands.

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Mo arrived in Yangzhou, he first carefully studied the government affairs left by Lin Hai, separated the family in the south of the Yangtze River, wrote a note on the situation of government affairs, and called the old man of the Lin family to sort out the property of the Lin family. Into a book, the maids and women should sell what should be sold, and what should be taken away, but within four or five days, they should be clear.

Even Jia Lian, who is used to taking care of vulgar things, can only be dumbfounded.

Lin Hai had a son in a few days, so the funeral would naturally have to be big. Daiyu was a pious and filial person, so she naturally refused to leave at this time. The madam blamed for a while, but fortunately they also knew the imperial decree of the emperor, and they had no other choice but to do nothing.

After a hundred days of filial piety, Lin Mo hired a big boat and took his younger sister back to the capital. The emperor gave the Marquis Mansion a long time ago, but it was still not fully settled, so Lin Mo asked Daiyu, and she still lived in the Zhuangyuan Mansion with her sister. inside.

Not long after, a mother from the Jia family came to pick up Daiyu.Lin Mo only went back to take his sister there, and refused to let Daiyu go with the mother-in-law directly.

Since Daiyu only had Xueyan and Zijuan, two big maids, and Wang Momo as a nanny, Lin Mo pointed out to her the two maids she was used to by her side, named Wenge and Yayi, and from then on. Eight second-class maidservants danced underneath, ordering Haosheng to serve the girl.

Daiyu got this elder brother for the first time, and lived in his elder brother's house, so she felt a little uneasy, but fortunately Wen Getong was gentle and understanding, and he persuaded him softly for a long time, and Lin Mo was originally an elegant person, I don't know where to find some lonely piano scores. Whenever I get some good calligraphy and paintings, I also order people to bring them to Daiyu for appreciation.Although the Rong Mansion is luxurious, it is not very considerate of her daughter's upbringing, so Daiyu gradually let go of those tensions.

Another day, Lin Mo got a good qin and ordered someone to give it to Daiyu. He said: "This qin is quite old. It can't be compared with Lu Qi and others, but it can barely catch your ears. Please accept it, my sister." Daiyu was both surprised and delighted, and she was a little more grateful to her brother in her heart.

A few days later, Mother Jia sent someone to pick up Daiyu, and invited Lin Mo to go to the mansion with her. Now that Lin Mo was dismissed from his job and stayed at home, it was no big deal, so he ordered someone to prepare a car, and personally sent his sister to Rongguo Mansion.

Daiyu came here this time, bringing four maids and three mothers, and some servants in the back of the car. It is incomparable to the loneliness when she first entered the capital. The carriage stopped.

Daiyu listened, but it was the butler of the Lin Mansion who said: "I am a rough man, and I don't understand the rules of the Rongguo Mansion. I only know that there are differences in respect, order, and closeness. I heard that when your relative Xue's family came to Beijing, your mansion was The middle door was opened to welcome them. If you want to talk about the dignity, the Xue family is after Ziwei Sheren, but my Lin family is also the century-old family of the Shuxiangmen. In terms of title, my uncle is the first-class Jingyuanhou. Master Qi Ping, in terms of official position, my uncle Ding Youqian is a five-rank Hanlin scholar, which is no different from the second master in the family. In terms of closeness, our girl is a serious niece in the family, and she wants to take the slaves here It’s impossible to go to grandma’s house as a guest at the corner door!”

When Daiyu heard this, she thought that when she first came here, she also went through the corner door. At that time, she only thought that she was young and new here, so she had to be careful at every step and everywhere, how could anyone dare to speak for her?Later, when Xue's family came, the whole family greeted her. Although she didn't feel like it, she had to shed tears silently.Now that there are no parents, but there is an elder brother who is willing to take the lead for him, I feel cuddled in my heart.

The concierge of the Rongguo Mansion hurriedly told Mother Jia and others what he said. Jia Zheng just said: "Confused, confused! The nephew of the Lin family is a serious prince. You are going to die, but you want them to go through the small gate!" After leaving Jia's mother, he and his elder brother Jia She greeted him.

Since the brothers and sisters of the Lin family entered Jia's residence, Mother Jia naturally invited them to her room. Lin Mo took her younger sister to greet him. He was happy again, rubbed Daiyu and cried for a while, then led their brothers and sisters to meet the elders in the house, and said: "Call the girls."

Lin Mo hurriedly said: "Old Majesty, no, men and women are very different. Although the family is relatives, I am a foreigner after all. Since the female relatives are coming, I will go out and talk with my uncles and brothers."

Jia's mother laughed and said, "What a polite child." So Jia Lian led him to get close to Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng.Jia Amnesty was also very lively, and Jia Zhen from the Eastern Mansion came to join in the fun, and soon a banquet was set up. Jia Zheng didn't think it was inappropriate, and the uncle and nephew sat down and drank separately.

After a while, Lin Mo's servant hurried up and whispered a few words to Lin Mo. Lin Mo's smile faltered, and he looked at the table and said, "I often hear that there is a young master who was born with jade in his house. They are all very knowledgeable, and my nephew has been yearning for it for a long time, I wonder if I can see him?"

Jia Zheng was very happy when he heard that, because he asked where Baoyu was, and when he heard that it was with the old lady, he hurried to ask someone to invite him.

Why do you think Lin Mo wants to see Baoyu?But it was the boy who came to report that the second master Bao of Jia's mansion was so ignorant of the rules that he made his sister cry!

It turned out that Baoyu hadn't seen Daiyu for a long time. When he heard that Daiyu came to the house, he was overjoyed. Huanxi, as long as she talks to her, the three nuns of the Lin Mansion strictly abide by the rules. Seeing that the second master Bao is outrageous, they hurriedly stop the girl to hide in the green gauze closet.Baoyu didn't like these mother-in-laws at all, and often said that her daughter was Zhuyu, and she would become a fish-eye pearl when she married, so she was naturally annoyed, but Xueyan also said that this nanny was specially invited by the uncle for the girl. He came here, he couldn't be scolded, he hated Lin Mo for taking sister Lin away, so he brought out Na Lu's stupid talk at this moment.

Others just think it's shameful, but Jiamu and Mrs. Wang don't seem to care much, but Daiyu has heard all kinds of things.She was lonely in the past, and she used to envy Baochai. She thought that if she had an older brother to protect her, it would not matter if she was like Xue Pan. How can you bear insults?She also thought about Xue Pan, who was not a thousand times worse than her elder brother. Baoyu didn't scold him, but said that her elder brother was stupid. It can be seen from the bottom of her heart that the Lin family is not as good as the Xue family, so she cried even more sadly.

Seeing that sister Lin was crying sadly, Baoyu yelled inwardly that it was not good, and wanted to comfort her, but was stopped by the nanny, and was at a loss what to do, but Jia Zheng sent someone to call, saying that cousin Lin wanted to see him, and even more so. She was so angry that she didn't dare to disobey Jia Zheng, but it was Jia's mother who saw that he was at a loss, and wanted to match the two Yu'er in her heart, so she said to the boy: "My old lady is old and likes to be lively. Today their brothers and sisters are all here, I am reluctant to let Baoyu go, the boy of the Lin family wants to see Baoyu and ask him to come to my place."

The servant couldn't help it, so he went back to Jia Zheng. Seeing that the Jia family's rules were really sparse, Lin Mo could only smile and said, "Come on, I'll just walk a few more steps!"

When he entered the inner room, Lin Mo just walked with his head down, and didn't look at Sanchun and Baochai much. He had known each other since Baoyu, met the ceremony, and met the female relatives under Wang Xifeng's guidance, so he sat down beside Daiyu. Beside her, she asked softly, "Why is my sister crying?"

Daiyu was sad, when she saw him coming, she pulled him and said, "Let's go home!"

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Sister, wipe away your tears first. We are guests at Rongguo Mansion, so what do we say when we wipe our tears in front of the host's house?"

In the past, every time Daiyu heard Shi Xiangyun bicker with Baoyu, she said she wanted to go home, and she was not unenvious in her heart, but now she heard her brother say that she was also a guest of Rongfu, and she couldn't help being a little bit ironic.He just took his brother's hand and said he wanted to go home.Lin Mo couldn't help it, so he pulled his younger sister up and said, "Old Madam, my sister is crying so hard. I'll go back with her first, and after a few days, I will come to confess my crime to the old matriarch."

Daiyu is also a petty person. Hearing what her brother said, she didn't care about Jia Mu's persuasion, so she got up and saluted, and followed her brother out.

Baoyu hurriedly chased him out: "Sister, don't go away. It was my fault. I said something stupid. Good sister, please forgive me."

But was stopped by Lin Mo: "Brother Bao, be careful, my sister's reputation is important. What do you mean by yelling? My Lin family has no father and mother now, but if you dare to insult my sister's reputation, I, Lin Mo, dare to take the title on my head and compete with you!"

Jia Zheng happened to chase here, and when he heard Lin Mo's words, he was so angry that he ordered someone to stop Baoyu, and Jia's mother chased him out again to prevent him from scolding him.
