The Fate of the Red Chamber

In fact, Lin Ruhai has no intention of hiding the truth from the Jia family. Such a major event as the adoption of the Lin family will definitely cause a sensation in the entire Yangzhou city and even Jiangnan. Don't think about it.As long as you wait until the day of adoption, you will have done your best to invite Jia Lian to watch the ceremony.

When Daiyu entered the inner room, she saw her father leaning on the couch, although there was a book in his hand, from the look on his face, it was clear that Lin Ruhai's mind was not on the book at all.Turning around, he took a cup of ginseng soup that Fang Fei was holding, and walked forward with a smile: "Father, you are not well yet, and you are still working hard. Maybe we still have to take some exams now."

Lin Ruhai felt a pain in his heart when he saw his daughter's forced relaxed smile and tone. He didn't know that his daughter was naturally sensitive and full of worries, but in order not to make him worry, he had to pretend that nothing had happened to relieve himself. .It's just that this is his daughter's filial piety, of course he won't say it out loud, put down the book cooperatively, straightened his body, and said with a smile: "Yu'er even dares to make fun of her father, come and sit down."

Daiyu sat lightly on the couch, tested the temperature of the ginseng soup, and then fed it to Lin Ruhai's mouth, persuading: "Daddy, drink it while it's hot. My brother said that the medicine will lose its effect quickly when it's hot. How dare my daughter?" , who doesn't know that Dad is addicted to books."

Seeing that Daiyu and Mo Han got along more and more harmoniously, Lin Ruhai let go of it a little bit. Now her daughter seems to have taken Mo Han's words as an imperial decree, and she has been influenced by Mo Han unknowingly.He raised his neck, drank half a cup of ginseng soup in one go, took the handkerchief Daiyu handed over, wiped the corners of his mouth, and smiled again: "It's been hard work these days, Yu'er. I have to worry about Daddy's food and medicine, and look at how thin my little face is." As he spoke, Lin Ruhai patted Daiyu's tender cheeks.

"Daddy is talking nonsense again. My brother is taking care of everything at home, and Yu'er is just putting on a show. Daddy's food is taken care of by the maids. How can Yu'er work so hard just by saying a few words. I hired four servant girls, all of whom are very capable, plus the former Xueyan Zijuan, and Wang Momo who often reminded me, I really became the most idle person. They listened to my brother's words and spent all day Forcing Yu'er to eat this and that, Yu'er almost becomes a little fat man, and Daddy is still too thin."

Daiyu put the bowl on the table beside her, and she pulled Lin Ruhai's sleeve with a bitter face and pouted, complaining happily.

Indeed, compared to the day when she first came, Daiyu gained a little weight, and her complexion was much better. Although she was busy, she felt fulfilled, and she didn't have much time to think.

"Okay, Yu'er will look good when she grows up to be a little fat man. Yu'er and Mo Han can get along so well, Daddy is always pregnant. But Daddy still has a question to ask Yuer, whether Yuer wants to go again The Jia family lives." Now Lin Ruhai doesn't worry about anything, but she is worried about Daiyu's feelings for the Jia family. She lived in the Jia family for several years when she was young, and she is loved by her grandmother. Even if she has deep feelings, it is normal. of.

Daiyu was slightly taken aback, the original smiling face gradually dimmed, she lowered her head, and after a while she was about to cry: "Daddy, you can't let Yu'er, Yu'er don't leave Daddy, Yu'er don't go to Jia's house, Yu'er only I want to stay at our house and be happy with my father and brother."

Daiyu hadn't thought of Jia's house for a few days, but when she heard her father mention it, she couldn't help but think of her life in Jia's house. The sisters were nice and the old lady loved her, but only when she returned home did she realize what a real home is.There are too many rules, too many eyes, how can it compare to the freedom of my own family. In Jia's family, I am a girl who depends on others, and no one in my family regards herself as a noble lady.What's more, here is her real flesh and blood relatives, and her only father, no matter what, she is unwilling to leave her father.

Lin Ruhai hurriedly hugged Daiyu in his arms, gently wiped away the tears on her face with one hand, and hurriedly persuaded: "Yu'er is good, Yu'er doesn't cry, Daddy is confused, talking nonsense, Yu'er must not Seriously. Daddy assured Yu'er that Daddy would never send Yu'er to Jia's house again, and that Yu'er has her own home."

Seeing her father flustered, Daiyu felt ashamed and ashamed, what was wrong with her, how old she was, she was still crying with her father, she forced herself to hold back, and forced a smile: "As long as Daddy doesn't send Yu'er away, Yu'er Don't be afraid."

The servant girl below had already prepared hot water towels and other things, Zijuan rolled up Daiyu's sleeves, Fang Fei covered Daiyu's chest with a big towel, and the little girl half knelt on the ground holding the washbasin.Several people waited for Daiyu to freshen up, and then retreated to the side.

Lin Ruhai kept staring at Zijuan in the purple vest. He didn't ignore the disappointment and melancholy that flashed in Zijuan's eyes when Daiyu said she couldn't go back to Jia's house.After all, this girl is from Jia's mansion, and her parents are all in Jia's mansion, so it's a bit embarrassing for her to stay in Jiangnan as a girl away from her relatives' homeland.

"Are you the Zicuckoo that the old lady bestowed on Yu'er?"

"Master, it's the servant girl." Zijuan didn't want Lin Ruhai to ask her suddenly, and after being startled, she quickly stepped forward to answer.

"These days, you have been very attentive to Yu'er's service. However, there is one thing that may embarrass you. I heard that you are the son of Jia's family, and the whole family works in Jia's house. If Yu'er does not go The Jia family is gone, so what are you going to do?" Lin Ruhai directly threw the question to Zijuan, after all, it was better for her to decide whether to stay or not.

Only now did Daiyu realize that she had relied on Zijuan all these years, partly because of the convenience that Zijuan was a maidservant in Jia's mansion, but she forgot her origin after a long time.Now I decided to stay in the south of the Yangtze River, and Zijuan served me like no other. I really feel a little bit reluctant to let her go back. If I don’t let her go, there is no reason to prevent the family reunion. After all, Zijuan is the maid of Jia’s mansion. .

Zijuan stood there in a daze, this was what she had just thought about.She was given to Miss Lin by the old lady, and she served Miss Lin wholeheartedly. The old lady's thoughts were rarely known in Jia's house. She had long regarded Miss Lin as a member of the Jia family, and she only wanted to stay with Miss Lin for a long time. around.But now, listening to Master Lin's words, it seems that he really has no intention of sending Miss Lin to Jia's mansion again, so what should he do?Abandoning my mother, it is unfilial to stay alone, and returning to the capital has failed the girl's affection for me, which is disloyalty and unrighteousness.

For a long time, Zicuckoo couldn't think of a reason, so she didn't know how to answer.

"You don't have to worry, it's still a long time, you can think about it, and then talk about it when you make a decision." Lin Ruhai didn't want to embarrass her too much for the sake of her hard work serving her daughter.
