The Fate of the Red Chamber

The first day of August was the day when the Lin family adopted Lin Mohan as their son.

To this day, Jia Lian had never heard of any opposition from the Lin clan, so he was so angry that he secretly scolded the Lin family for their lack of backbone and allowing an outsider to control the Lin family.I only heard that a lot of people came to the Lin family yesterday, some of them lived in the Lin mansion and they left after a while, except that some of them were members of the Lin clan, they didn't know anyone else, it was just a big show.

He didn't even think about it, although there were many members of the Lin family in Gusu, they were both from the fifth service with the Lin family, so they didn't have the face to stand up against it.What's more, now that Lin Ruhai is the head of the Lin family, and the most prestigious official in the Lin family, whoever is full can't live with him.There is also Lin Mohan, they are all from Jiangnan, and they have heard a lot about Lin Mohan, but they don't have the guts to fight against him. They only make friends with big shots and rich people.

Only Jia Lian only knew how to drink and have fun, so he underestimated Mo Han at first, and didn't bother to inquire about him, otherwise he would have got the news and went to flatter him.And Xia Cheng acted secretly, so Jia Lian didn't even know the slightest rumor outside.Most of the descendants of the Jia family are inferior to Jia Lian. Such a big family has no one who can do anything, so it is strange that they are undefeated.

Early in the morning, Daiyu helped her father to get up. Lin Ruhai looks good today, he is really refreshed on happy occasions.

Mo Han was already so busy that he didn't even touch the ground, and batch after batch went inside to welcome people.For Lin Ruhai's face, these people rushed to the Lin Mansion early in the morning, for fear of being late.

The first person to arrive was Liu Liangrui, the current head of the Liu family in Nanxun. The Liu family controlled the entire Cao Gang, and the river transportation across the country was inseparable from them.In this era, almost all bulk goods are transported by river. Thinking about it, you can see how powerful the Liu family is.And Lin Mohan and the Liu family are also familiar, because he has relied on the Liu family in many places in his business, and Liu Liangrui came so early today to support him.

Next, Zha Qiwen, the head of the Haining Zha family, and Wang Kaizhi, a man of the royal family in Kuaiji, arrived at the same time.The Cha family is an important minister of the imperial court. The current Minister of the Household Department is the son of Zha Qiwen.

People who have never heard of the Kuaiji Wang family are aliens except for the newborn baby. This prestigious family has been famous for thousands of years. After dynasties, their status in the literary world has never changed.The Wang family has never been an official, but which court would dare to underestimate him.Wang Kaizhi is the grandson of the head of the Wang family, and his literary talent is well known all over the world. If he takes the number one scholar in the imperial examination, he will be nothing more than a petty item in his pocket.

The Liu family, the Cha family, the Wang family, and the Lin family are the four major families in Jiangnan. There is no special connection on the surface, but they represent the entire Jiangnan. If the four families join forces, they will stun Jiangnan.Among them, only the Lin family's heirs were not prosperous, and they felt quite withered.All the members of the four families sighed with emotion when they were together, for fear that the century-old family would disappear in the clouds and smoke.Therefore, when I received the news that Lin Ruhai wanted to adopt Lin Mohan, I was very excited. If Lin Mohan succeeded the Lin family, the Lin family would only be more prosperous, and perhaps lead the four families to a higher mountain.

In addition to these three, Yu Yueju, the prefect of Hangzhou, Zhang Rong, the prefect of Gusu, and Peng Songnian, the prefect of Yangzhou, all arrived one after another, and they were all witnesses invited by Lin Ruhai.In this way, not only Jiangnan, but the whole world would know about the Lin family's adoption.

The members of the Lin clan rested in the Lin Mansion last night, and today they are helping Mo Han to entertain guests.

At the right time, Daiyu and Mo Han supported Lin Ruhai into the hall from left to right, and Lin Ruhai greeted everyone with a smile.On such an occasion, Jia Lian was taken aback, thinking that the Lin family just invited a few members of the clan to be witnesses, and hearing the name would scare him to death.If it wasn't for the Lin family, he would never have had the chance to meet some people here in his life.

A grandson of a declining Duke's mansion, he was the junior among the juniors among this group of people. Jia Lian didn't dare to stand out, and hid in a corner in a panic, but he was extremely envious of Lin Mohan.God is not open to such an encounter with a brat.

What was strange to Jia Lian was that most of the visitors seemed to know Lin Mohan, and they didn't show any contempt for him. On the contrary, they all liked him very much, which made Jia Lian even more aggrieved.

After exchanging pleasantries, it's the adoption ceremony.It's actually quite simple. First, a highly respected person spoke highly of Lin Mohan, and then Lin Ruhai announced that Lin Mohan was his adopted son, and everyone present was invited to bear witness.Then it is to worship the ancestors, parents and elders.In the end, Lin Ruhai declared that everything about the Lin family would be handed over to Lin Mohan, and he was the undisputed next head of the Lin family.

Everyone knew it well, congratulations were heard endlessly, but Jia Lian's face was embarrassing, and he reluctantly followed everyone's congratulations.

Lin Ruhai asked Mo Han to speak on behalf of the head of the Lin family. Mo Han was not that foolish. He immediately explained that the Lin family decided to use a 3000-acre Zhuangzi as a sacrificial property for the public, and promised to spend 1 taels of silver every year to support the Lin family's education and poor children. students.In this way, the members of the Lin clan who were a little complained were very pleasantly surprised, and they were so happy that their ancestors and future generations have taken care of them, so they have no worries about the future.

"For the sake of our Lin family, everyone has worked so hard to come all the way here. I, Lin Ruhai, can't repay you. I can only prepare a little wine for everyone to drink. I'm not in good health. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany everyone, so my dog ​​will do it for me. .”

Everyone was speechless, and instead said they were bothering.

Mo Han invited everyone with a smile: "Wansheng has booked Mingyue Tower, please grandpas, uncles, uncles and brothers, please show your respect." So Mo Han led everyone to Mingyue Tower.

Ordinarily, Daiyu shouldn't have come out on such occasions where there are outsiders, but Lin Ruhai thought to himself that these people were all on their own, and if Mo Han didn't notice her daughter's troubles in the future, maybe he could get help from these people.What's more, a daughter can't live without a few boudoir friends. The daughters and granddaughters of these people are not simple people. Meeting each other's elders this time will definitely be beneficial in the future.

Daiyu first helped Lin Ruhai back to the inner courtyard to rest, and then returned to the main hall to watch the servants clean it up.After being busy for half a day, I feel very at ease. The Lin family finally has a son, and he is still such a powerful elder brother. In the future, he will assist his elder brother to carry forward the Lin family and inherit his father's great wish.
