Daiyu of the Red Chamber has an uncle

became a practice.

Lin Mu looked at the scenery that was different from that on the sea. The river was breezy and sunny, and the slight autumn wind brought coolness. The scenery on both sides of the river gradually changed from yellow to green. There were many boats on the river, and they all took advantage of this time to finish their journey Last few trips.Looking at such a scene, Lin Mu couldn't help but think of the previous time.

When he first came to this world, his elder brother cared for him in every possible way. When he was a child, he often rode on his elder brother's shoulders to go out and play. He still remembers the Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City and the sweet-scented osmanthus root candy that he often ate at that time.

"Yu'er, do you still remember the old house in Gusu?" Lin Mu stood on the bow of the boat with his niece, looking at the Suzhou pier not far away, feeling timid due to the proximity of his hometown. At this moment, he was a little afraid to go back to that mansion gone.

Lin Daiyu shook her head, "I was born in the capital, and my father took me and my mother to Yangzhou to take a post. My mother is weak and seldom goes out." She also seldom went out, "The only time was when my father said he would give me Genealogy, so I celebrated the New Year in the old house in Gusu that year, and I still remember that there was a winter plum plant in the yard where my father lived at that time, and it bloomed beautifully." Her impression of the old house in Gusu is about the same. The plum blossom tree that blooms in winter is gone.

Lin Mu naturally also remembered the plum blossom tree, which was raised in his elder brother's yard. He used to ask his maid to fold a few branches and store them in his room every winter.Listening to what his niece said now, Lin Mu only felt that the world was impermanent, and that time was indeed the greatest enemy.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu was getting healthy, her face was rarely rosy, her brows were no longer furrowed, but she looked more cheerful, Lin Mu couldn't help but sigh.He felt that he had to work harder, and he must not slack off in cultivating Lin Daiyu. In the future, he would be worthy of his brother if he found a suitable husband for Lin Daiyu.

"Uncle, do you remember?" Looking at Lin Mu's appearance, Lin Daiyu couldn't help asking, but she wanted to take back what she just said.She once heard her uncle talk about the old days between him and his father. Maybe those things happened in the old house in Gusu, and then she thought that it must be here when her uncle was lost. ask.

Lin Mu smiled, but did not answer.The two uncles and nephews stood at the bow of the boat, watching the approaching pier, silent for a moment.

23. Going home to worship ancestors

After getting off the boat, I changed to a sedan chair, then to a carriage, and then entered the gate of Gusu Linfu, and then changed to a sedan chair again.Lin Daiyu was sent to the courtyard of the old house step by step without touching the ground.

The old house has not been lived in for many years, and many places have been abandoned. Of course, the scenery is still very delicate, overgrown with weeds, but it also adds a bit of wildness.Ever since Lin Mu decided to come back to worship his ancestors, he sent someone to clean up the place early on, and got in touch with the people in the clan.The attitude of the Lin clan towards this Eagle King who could almost be said to have fallen from the sky is unknown, but Lin Mu won the support of most people with practical actions.

He bought thousands of acres of sacrifice land in Gusu and handed it over to the patriarch to manage, and the annual profit was given to those in need in the clan.In addition to repairing the old house of the Lin family, the people sent also repaired the ancestral hall by the way. With the large amount of money allocated by Lin Mu, the vigorous project made people in Gusu watch the excitement for several days.

As soon as Lin Mu arrived today, the patriarch of the back foot sent someone to invite him, saying that the elders of the clan were waiting in the ancestral hall, waiting for him to discuss matters.So, Lin Mu didn't tidy up, just changed his clothes, and went out again.

Fortunately, Hongxiu and others were able to do it, and they were settled soon.

Lin Daiyu can be regarded as having gained experience, and the yard assigned to her is quite in line with her taste. She took the servants and arranged all the things she brought.The busy day was finally over. After wandering on the boat for these days, I felt very down-to-earth. After resting in the house for a while, when the lights first came on, I took the maid to stroll around the garden with great interest.

Different from the Eagle King's Mansion in Jinling City, the layout of this old Gusu house is quite simple, even solemn.Even if Lin Mu wanted to renovate, he didn't dare to make major changes. He just asked the craftsmen to repair it, added flowers and plants, and diverted a small river.

"Girl, it's late at night, you'd better go back to the house and rest." Xinhe cooked the bird's nest, but she couldn't see Lin Daiyu, so she had to come out to look for it.In the early winter season, the coldness at night is no joke. Even though Lin Daiyu's body has been well-fed, Xinhe dare not be careless. She cares more about Lin Daiyu's body than she does herself.

The moonlight was like water, Lin Daiyu followed Xinhe obediently, and went to her room.

On the second day, the sky was bright, and early in the morning, Lin Mu sent someone to inform him that he would take Lin Daiyu to visit the elders of the clan.This is a big deal, and Lin Daiyu doesn't need to worry about it, a few maids cleaned her up quickly, and Xiangyun was also redecorated, followed Lin Daiyu, and set off majesticly.

The Lin family can be considered a big family in Gusu, with only a small number of people, but it is a rare and clear family.When Lin Mu came, besides people from the Lin family, there were quite a few people who came to deliver postings. When the local officials heard that the Eagle King was coming, there was no reason why they couldn’t rush to visit.

Here the butler took people to deal with the people who came to give gifts, while Lin Mu took Lin Daiyu to the clan.It's not that he doesn't want to bring his wives with him, Hongxiu is not interested in this kind of socializing, if she doesn't show up, others can't pass her.Fortunately, everyone didn't care about this, Long Fault took people shopping on his own, Zhang Suying was also very interested in the business here, and took people to inspect it early, and Hongxiu and Qin Muxue at home were also in full swing. Get ready for a feast.

Lin Mu gave Lin Daiyu a popular science about his family's family background, the five generations of princes, it's not a joke, every one of them is worth mentioning.Chatting all the way, they came to the patriarch's house.

The patriarch of the Lin clan is of the same generation as Lin Mu's grandfather, and they are cousins. Although Lin Mu has been away for so many years, when he came back, the patriarch met him for the first time and knew that this child must be their Lin family. people.Unlike Lin Mu's family, the patriarch lived a long life. His son is now teaching in an academy outside Gusu City, and his two grandchildren are also motivated and are currently studying.When Lin Mu arrived, he was talking to a child, and seeing Lin Mu bringing a girl in, he cheerfully introduced them: "Come on, this is what I told you last time, Lin Mu .”

While talking, he dragged the child to greet Lin Mu.Counting it, Lin Yao and Lin Mu are still more than one generation behind. If they couldn't find it, the patriarch would not agree.

When Lin Daiyu heard what the patriarch said, a light flashed in her lowered eyes, and she looked at the little boy in front of her very curiously.Wearing washed and whitish clothes, the layers under his feet are a little worn out, but he is still neither humble nor overbearing. Listening to the words of the patriarch, he obediently greets Lin Mu.She looked at Lin Yao's sculpted face, and felt that this new brother was really likable, and his outstanding appearance would not be inferior to the simple clothes at all.

Almost from the moment they saw Lin Yao, the two uncles and nephews of the Lin family loved this child very much.Lin Mu didn't hide his satisfaction, pulled him to his side, and asked him in a gentle voice. Seeing that he was not timid at all at a young age, he answered fluently, and there was a trace of grace in his speech, which inevitably made him even more nervous. joy.

Lin Daiyu watched from the side, feeling extremely satisfied.Since she got the news, she has imagined the appearance of her future brother more than once in her heart. Seeing Lin Qiao's appearance, she couldn't help but feel emotional.If her father is still alive, she will definitely be happier!

Seeing Lin Mu like this, the patriarch heaved a sigh of relief. Being entrusted by others, he must be loyal. Their Lin clan has taken so many benefits from Lin Mu. It's a good fit.

Although he really wanted to choose an auspicious day to take Lin Yao home with great fanfare, but the reality did not allow it. Under the dissuasion of the patriarch, Lin Mu had to take Lin Yao away first.He figured that there would be a wedding at home soon, and it would be a good thing to bring the two children out for the big guys to see at that time.

When Lin Yao entered the Gusu Lin House, the entire Lin family was in a commotion.

Three women in one show, let alone five, Lin Mu's four wives, plus Lin Daiyu, all surrounded Lin Yao, asking questions and touching others.Even Long Fault, who was always indifferent, rarely pulled the child over with a pleasant face, saying that it was to test his muscles and bones to see if he had the talent for martial arts.

Unlike what the big guys were worried about, Lin Qiao was a very gentle and polite child. He had lost his childishness due to his precocity, and his childish face was full of adults, which made several women feel very distressed when they saw him.

Hongxiu had never raised a child, but she tried her best to prepare a yard for Lin Huan, and everyone prepared a gift.While Lin Daiyu was taking care of her younger brother, she also felt the warmth of the family again. She was treated like this when she first arrived at the Lin family!

After finally dealing with the aunts and seeing them off, Lin Yao wiped the sweat off his brow like a grown-up, and breathed a sigh of relief.After recovering, I found that there was another one in my yard, and I couldn't help but blush.

"Brother." Lin Daiyu looked at Lin Yao, and couldn't help shouting: "Brother~"

In fact, she also had a younger brother in the past. Although she was not a sibling of the same mother, she was also a younger brother.It's a pity that the child passed away early, and he couldn't keep him. Now he finally has a younger brother. Although he was not born to his father, as his uncle said, he can inherit the incense for his father. It would be nice for someone to burn incense in a hundred years.
