The Fate of the Red Chamber

Last time I mentioned that Daiyu was going to send a few maidservants to Mo Han's side. One sentence made Mo Han almost spit out the food in his mouth. He is a modern boy after all, and he has never had a group of girls by his side. The experience of serving.Thinking about girls watching him even when he was sleeping and dressing, and occasionally having intimate skin-to-skin contact, this is really terrifying, forgive his little heart for being a little bit unbearable.He even thought of telling his future girlfriends not to be jealous if they found out, and it would be strange if they didn't fight with him over this matter, and his innocence would not be cleared even by jumping into the Yellow River.

"Sister, please don't, brother is not used to being served by girls." Mo Han waved his hands in panic.

Daiyu was taken aback, since she was a child, she had never seen a man who didn't have a maid to serve him, like Baoyu wished all the girls in the world surrounded him, but why didn't her brother not.Daiyu looked her brother up and down, she was no different from other men except for being good-looking, could it be that her brother was afraid of trouble?

"Brother, it's not troublesome. Now there are only two masters in our family, but there are a lot of servants. It's easy to find a few maids, and you don't need to buy them."

Mo Han was afraid that Daiyu would make a decision on who would be transferred to his room soon, so he didn't care about other things, so he grabbed Daiyu's hand and begged, "Good sister, please spare brother. If there are a group of girls who spend all day Surrounding me, I will not even sleep well and eat well. My sister has pity on me anyway."

The maids on the side couldn't help laughing, and Bi Xiang couldn't help laughing and asked: "This time we are in front of you, don't you eat and drink as usual?"

Daiyu thought it made sense and nodded repeatedly.

"This is different. You are serving my sister and not me, so I just pretend I didn't see it." Mo Han gave Bi Xiang a hard look, wondering why he is so smart, "Sister, you also said just now, There are only our two masters in the mansion, but there are a lot of people serving, I decide whether to lay off some of them, so that it will be easier to restrain."

Sure enough, Daiyu stopped bothering about sending a maid to Mohan, and focused her eyes on the personnel arrangement in the mansion. There are really many people who have no jobs now.Now it's just the two of them, it's inevitable that people will be jealous if they are too ostentatious, so it's better to be restrained in everything.It's just that whether it's an old man who has served his father and elders, or a poor man who has no one to rely on and sells himself, it's hard to drive them away, but how to arrange this.

Mo Han expected Daiyu's worries, watched the maids take away the food, and the two sat on the side of the kang, before he said: "According to me, we can first ask who is willing to leave and how much will you give?" The taels of silver are easy to get rid of, and those who don’t want to leave can be sent to the Zhuangzi, to the shop, or left in the mansion according to what each person is good at. What does my sister think?”

"Well, brother, this is very good. Those who want to leave will naturally not be able to stay, and those who don't want to leave can't lose them. You must settle down, otherwise you will easily cause trouble if you have nothing to do. Then tomorrow Let's get this done." Daiyu thought that even the royal family covets her family's property, so there must be a lot, and there are always places where people are lacking, so they may be able to accommodate many, this is not a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

Suddenly remembering the strange incident at the ancestral grave today, Daiyu winked at the servant girl, everyone understood, and retreated in a file, closing the door behind them.

"There is no grandmother's tombstone in the ancestral grave, what does brother think about this?" Daiyu asked bluntly.

Mo Han also finds this very strange, seeing that the environment at that time was definitely not destroyed by later generations, but that it was not established at all at the beginning, but how could such a thing happen in the Lin family of a scholarly family.The only possible scenarios were that the grandmother had been divorced, or that the grandmother was still alive, but both of these possibilities were very small.Why didn't father tell us about this before he left? Didn't father even know about it?This again seems unlikely.

After much deliberation, Mo Han couldn't think of a reason, so he could only shake his head and sigh: "This is indeed strange, did my sister hear about my grandmother when she was young, did my father never mention it to my sister?"

Recalling the past in detail, in Daiyu's impression, no one in the Lin family has ever mentioned her grandmother, but her father would often tell her about her grandfather's deeds. Daiyu thought that because her grandmother passed away early, even her father didn't know much about it. Clearly.Now that I think about it, that's not the case, even if the father doesn't know, it's impossible that all the old women in the mansion don't know about it, for example, the grandmother's dowry maid, accompanying room and others are all gone?

"No, I never heard a word from my father."

It's strange, the Lin family is such a prestigious family in the south of the Yangtze River, but Zhong'anhou's imperial wife seems to have disappeared, her life and death are uncertain, and the tombstone does not exist. There must be a secret here.And who would know these family secrets from decades ago?Thinking back to when my father handed over the imperial decree to him, he told him many secret histories in the family, but he didn't mention grandma a word.

"Sister, now we don't have any clues, so we can only investigate slowly. There are reliable old people in the mansion who can try them, and there are people who are close friends with our family. Their old lady may know a thing or two. Calculated by age, if grandma is alive, she would be in her sixties, so many people should have seen her."

I am nine years old this year, and my father is 38 this year. If my grandmother gave birth to my father at the age of 20, she would only be 58 this year. My grandmother is over 60 this year. Didn’t she ever hear of her grandmother? Haven't heard anything about it.Daiyu secretly thought about whether she should write a book to ask her grandmother. Lian's second brother's behavior is really annoying, but it should not be ordered by his grandmother. After all, it is his mother's mother. , I also need to pack some gifts to send.

Afraid that Mo Han would be angry, Daiyu hesitated for a while, and finally asked softly: "Brother, Chinese New Year will be over in a month or so, should we send someone to send the ceremony to the capital first?"

Daiyu was talking about the capital city instead of the Jia family, but Mo Han still couldn't understand. After a while, she quickly understood and smiled slightly: "It's natural, we can't lose manners just because we are young. Just make the list. I will tell Butler Lin to send some proper people out recently, so that they can be used temporarily."

"There are other family friends, I didn't understand at first, so I need brother to mention more." Daiyu smiled in relief, but she was a villain.

"It's nothing, there are old rules anyway, we just need to add and subtract according to the old rules." Mo Han brushed off the froth on the tea cup, took a sip, and then put it down.
