The Fate of the Red Chamber

Lin Ruhai gave Daiyu another piece of pheasant meat and persuaded him: "Yu'er, why does Daddy see that although you have grown a lot taller, you are still thinner than before. From now on, you should eat more and don't be picky eaters. "As Daiyu's father, how can Lin Ruhai not know that his daughter has always been a picky eater, and her diet is used to the light food in the south of the Yangtze River. However, Jia's family has lived in the capital for several generations, and their diet has followed the northern diet. I'm not used to it.Thinking of this, she blamed herself even more. At the beginning, she wanted to let Jiamu have a good life and raise Daiyu, and she had sisters as companions, so that Daiyu would not be lonely at home alone, but she forgot about her unsatisfactory life.

In order not to make Lin Ruhai worry and blame herself, Daiyu forced herself to eat carefully, Fang said: "It's still delicious at home. As long as Daddy stays with Yu'er well, Yu'er will listen to Daddy in everything."

"What does Yu'er think of Baoyu from Jia's family?" Although Lin Ruhai had already decided not to entrust Daiyu to Jia's family, she was afraid that her daughter and Baoyu had a good relationship as Jia's mother said in her letter, so she couldn't help but test it out.

"Baoyu is really good, and she is very kind to my daughter, but she doesn't like to study." Daiyu suddenly heard her father turn the topic to Baoyu, and she couldn't help being taken aback. These days, she was only worried about her father's illness, and almost forgot about Baoyu.She and Baoyu have lived together for several years, but because Baoyu is more caring and tolerant than others, she is a little closer than the Sanchun sisters.But after all, I was young, I never thought about the love between my son and daughter, and the occasional jealousy for Baoyu was just the sourness of my little daughter.

(Daiyu lost her father in Chapter 14 of A Dream of Red Mansions. In the previous thirteen chapters, Daiyu and Baoyu were positively described. Only the third chapter Rongguo Mansion adopted Lin Daiyu and the eighth chapter explored Baochai. She is not yet ten years old, so Xilan thinks that Daiyu's relationship with Baoyu is mainly a brother and sister relationship, but just a young playmate. The real development of their relationship will be after Daiyu returns to Rongguo Mansion after her father's death. I hope you can Don't think I'm trying to excuse Daiyu.)

Lin Ruhai naturally heard that there was not much affection in her daughter's words, so she felt relieved.The father and daughter finished their meal and went back to the room to talk.

"Yu'er, Daddy has something to tell you, what do you think of Mo Han?" Lin Ruhai thought it's better to prepare Daiyu mentally, otherwise it would scare her if she found out after the adoption.

Daiyu picked up a clipped cloak and put it on Lin Ruhai, and said in her mouth: "Yu'er and brother met for the first time, but I think he treats Yu'er very well."

"If you let him be Yu'er's real brother, what does Yu'er think?" Lin Ruhai held her daughter's busy body and let her sit next to him.

"If Yu'er can have such a real brother, it's really a blessing from her previous life." For some reason, Daiyu didn't feel that Mo Han was unfamiliar, but she had a good impression of him, maybe because he took such good care of her father. .

Lin Ruhai then talked about how he saved Mo Han and his intention to adopt Mo Han as his son, but omitted Mo Han's current wealth and dignity. He thought it would be better for Mo Han to tell Daiyu himself, It can also take the opportunity to cultivate the relationship between their brothers and sisters.

When Daiyu heard this, she was very happy. Since her father said that her elder brother was a good one, then she must be a good one.I have always regretted that I am not a man, and cannot support the future of the Lin family. If I have an older brother, the Lin family will have successors, and I can rely on something, so I won't be alone.

"Daddy, Yu'er thinks this is very good, but I don't know if my brother is willing?"

"Daddy has already mentioned it to Mo Han, and he has no objection. Yu'er has Mo Han to take care of him, so even if Daddy leaves, he can rest assured. It's just that Daddy is worried that Yu'er is kind and simple by nature, so it's inevitable that others will deceive her. Yu'er needs to know People in the world are easily trapped by fame and fortune, and for the sake of fame and fortune, there are too many things that do not think about blood relationship. Yu'er remembers, knowing people, knowing the face, but not the heart, the heart of harming others must not be without the heart of defense ah."

Daiyu didn't understand what she heard, but she still nodded solemnly.If the original Daiyu was a daughter of everyone who didn't care about everything, the years of experience in Jia's family were not in vain. Even if she didn't ask about common things, there were many rumors, otherwise she wouldn't be so cautious. .

Lin Ruhai became suspicious of Jia's family, but after all, she didn't want her simple daughter to be hurt by these things, so she just vaguely mentioned something to her, and with Emperor Mohan protecting her, it would be fine.After explaining this matter, I felt relieved, and said with a smile: "Now Mo Han is running the house alone. If Yu'er has free time, you can ask him for advice. The girl has to learn the skills of being a housekeeper when she grows up."

"Yes, Yu'er will learn from her brother tomorrow. I just hope that my brother won't dislike Yu'er's stupidity." Even if she doesn't care about family affairs, Daiyu thought that if her brother hadn't taken care of her over the years, she still didn't know what the family would be like. Can you share a little for him.What's more, if she had learned it earlier, maybe her father would not have sent her to the capital because of worrying about her, and he would not have left her to work like this alone.

"Yu'er is so smart, she must be able to get started very quickly. Your brother still has a lot of outside affairs to take care of. You can rest assured that Yu'er will take over from your father in the inner courtyard. It's just that Yu'er doesn't have to worry, just take your time." Well, don't worry too much about these little things."

The more Lin Ruhai looked at her daughter, the better she felt, and she really couldn't bear to let her take care of the family at such a young age.But it's all for her own good, so she won't be bullied when she gets married in the future.

The father and daughter were chatting, and it happened that Mo Han accompanied Jia Lian after dinner and came to answer Lin Ruhai, his face was reddish, and he probably had a few drinks, but he seemed quite cordial.

Lin Ruhai asked first, "But have you been drinking?"

Mo Han was a little embarrassed, seeing Daiyu present, he couldn't speak directly, he just said: "Master Biao must have a few drinks, I have to accompany you, but I drank three glasses." In fact, what Mo Han didn't say was that Jia Lian saw When he was young, he thought he was indifferent, so he wanted to get him drunk with a few glasses of wine, so that he could use it as a formula, and he didn't want to get drunk first.

Seeing Mo Han's demeanor, Lin Ruhai understood in his heart that he disliked Jia's mansion even more, and said with a smile: "Man, it's okay to have a few glasses of wine."

"It's better to ask someone to bring sober tea to my brother to drink, and it won't be too late for Daddy to talk to him." Since Daiyu knew that Mo Han would become her brother, she naturally became concerned.

When Lin Ruhai heard the words, he even said that it was very true, and Mo Han couldn't help smiling at Daiyu to express his gratitude.

For a while, the servant girl brought sober tea, and after Mo Han finished eating, the three of them chatted again.

Daiyu and Mo Han were afraid that Lin Ruhai was not in good health and would not feel comfortable after sitting for a long time, so they urged Lin Ruhai to rest earlier, saying that it doesn't matter if they have something to say tomorrow.Lin Ruhai had no choice but to obey.
