Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

Lin Ruhai just sighed and shook his head, "You don't need to comfort me or deceive yourself. I can still feel how my own body is doing. It won't last long!"

When Lin Xu and Lin Daiyu heard what Lin Ruhai said, they just sat in silence, waiting to hear why Lin Ruhai called two people over today. [Feng/Huang/Update please search quickly]

Seeing that both of them were silent, Lin Ruhai paused, and then said to Lin Xu:

"The reason why I invited my cousin over again today is that besides letting the two of you get to know each other, there is one thing I want to ask my cousin to do. I hope that you will agree to it—this is Ru Hai's only wish before he dies." !"

When Lin Xu heard what Lin Ruhai said, he didn't know what his cousin was planning, so he could only ask suspiciously:

"I don't know what my cousin's wish is? You can tell me first so that my cousin can see if I can do it!

Don't worry, if it is within my ability, cousin, I will try my best to handle it for you. "

The implication is that things are beyond the scope of one's ability, so forgive yourself for being powerless.

When Lin Xu said this, although on the surface it seemed that he had agreed to fulfill Lin Ruhai's dying wish for Lin Ruhai, it was actually not the case.

Lin Xu only agreed to do it within his own ability, not including the Lin clan.

If Lin Ruhai puts forward any request that embarrasses him, Lin Xu can also reason that he has limited ability and cannot handle it!

How could Lin Ruhai, who is a veteran in the officialdom, not understand the meaning of Lin Xu's words!

Among the three, only Lin Daiyu thought that her uncle had agreed to her father's request!

"Cousin also knows that Ruhai will only have a precious daughter like Yu'er left in her life, and now I'm about to die.

Yu'er is still young now, I am really worried about her future life.

I'm afraid that she will be helpless after I go, and there is nothing she can do if she is bullied. How can I, a father, feel at ease! "

Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Daiyu who was still weak, and the worry in his heart couldn't be stopped!

Although as soon as Yu'er came back, he asked her to follow Madam Xu to learn about her daughter's family skills and the secrets of the back house.

But after all, the time for studying is still short, so it's good if Yu'er can remember, not to mention using what she learned during this time to resolve the secrets she encountered in the back house.

Lin Ruhai glanced at Lin Xu and Lin Daiyu, and then said worriedly: "I don't see much time left, if I don't make good arrangements for Yu'er, I really don't feel at ease when I die!"

Lin Daiyu cried and rushed to Lin Ruhai's bedside, hugged Lin Ruhai's hand and cried, "Daddy!", lying there and crying bitterly.

Lin Xu was also affected by the sad and hopeless atmosphere of the Lin family father and daughter, but he still didn't forget what Lin Ruhai said just now, and said in doubt:

"Then how do you want to arrange Daiyu, cousin? Tell me first, we are still a family after all, if there is anything that needs help, cousin, I am obliged."

Lin Ruhai patted Lin Daiyu as a comfort, and continued to Lin Xu:

"Actually, cousin, you should have heard of it. A few years ago, Yu'er lived in her grandmother's Rongguo Mansion in the capital, right?"

Lin Xu replied: "I have heard of such a thing. Does my cousin mean that after you go, you will continue to let your niece live with her grandmother?"

When Lin Daiyu heard this, her crying became much quieter, and she also wanted to know how her father arranged it.

In fact, Lin Ruhai himself didn't know how to arrange it better, if he went there by himself.

Not letting Yu'er go to Rongguo Mansion to live again, the situation is a bit unreasonable.

After he went there, the closest blood relationship to Yu'er was his mother-in-law.

Moreover, Yu'er has lived in Rongguo Mansion for so many years, if someone says that she is not used to living there, others will not believe it.

At that time, Lin Ruhai didn't care much about what others said about him, but he was just worried that it would ruin Yu'er's reputation!

The reputation of a daughter's family is the most important thing in this era. Without a good reputation, she may not even be able to get married.

Even if she is married, she may not be able to hold her head up for the rest of her life because of her reputation. How could Lin Ruhai be willing to let her Yuer live such a life!

So, Yu'er will still live in Jia's mansion after she goes there, but there is still room for maneuver.

Lin Ruhai said: "In the future, Yu'er will still be allowed to live in Rongguo Mansion for a while, but maybe she won't be able to live with her grandmother for long!"

Lin Xu asked puzzledly: "What do you say? Cousin, do you have any other arrangements?"

Lin Daiyu also stopped her tears at this time, wiped her cheeks with a handkerchief, and prepared to listen to her father's conversation quietly.

But when she saw that Lin Ruhai's lips were a little chapped, Lin Daiyu hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Lin Ruhai.

Just as Lin Ruhai was about to say something, she saw the teacup Lin Daiyu held in front of her. After talking so much, she really felt a little thirsty.

Simply holding Lin Daiyu's hand, he took a sip or two of tea, and after feeling that his throat was not so thirsty, he continued:

"Yeah, I think so."

Lin Ruhai watched the two of them focus their attention in an instant, and then continued:

"After I'm gone, after the coffin is over, Yu'er's cousin Jia Lian should send my coffin back to my hometown in Gusu for burial with Yu'er, and then I will trouble my cousin, you and other clansmen!"

Lin Xu said politely: "Cousin, you are too polite, this is what we should do, there is no trouble or no trouble."

Lin Ruhai sighed and said: "It is also Ruhai's fate, and I will not be able to repay the family's kindness in the future, I have already arranged it.

After I went there, someone would help the clan build a school, so that people in our clan could have a place to study.

Even if you can't pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official in the future, you can at least read and practice calligraphy. It's not a problem to rely on this to find an easier job in the future.

Some of the books in the mansion will also be sent to the school at that time. How can I save a lot of expenses for the clansmen, which is a little bit of my heart. "

Lin Xu didn't expect that Lin Ruhai would consider so much for the clan, and he was so grateful that he gave Lin Ruhai a big gift, saying:

"Bo Chang is here to thank you for your kindness and virtue on behalf of the Lin clan. You have done enough for the clan over the years. We are very grateful to you, cousin!"

Lin Ruhai hurriedly said: "Cousin, get up quickly. Ruhai did all this voluntarily. It can be regarded as hope that our Lin clan will be more prosperous in the future. It is not in vain that we come from the same ancestor."

Although Lin Ruhai said so, Lin Xu was still very grateful for it, and said: "In any case, we are very grateful for your contribution to the clan, cousin, and will remember it in our hearts."

Lin Ruhai observed Lin Xu's expression carefully, and made sure that what he thought was exactly what he said, and he was full of gratitude for the things he had done for the clan, so he was relieved!

In fact, Lin Ruhai did not do what he said, he did so much for the development of the Lin clan.

For a long time, Lin Ruhai's branch has not been closely connected with the clan, and it can even be said to be alienated. How could he suddenly think of doing something for the clan!

The reason why they do so much is just to let other members of the Lin clan remember their contribution to the clan, and when they go by themselves in the future, they can also take care of Yu'er a little bit.

Lin Ruhai then continued what he said just now: "When Jia Lian and Yu'er go to Gusu's hometown and bury me next to Yu'er's mother.

I hope that Yu'er can keep filial piety for me for three years at my ancestral house in Gusu, and also be closer to us and spend more time with her mother and me.

In these three years, I just want the clan to take more care of Yu'er, so that she won't be wronged!

And even after these three years, if Yu'er needs help from the clan, I hope the clan can take care of me for my sake.

I don't know this request to me, clan and cousin, can you agree to me? "

Hearing that Lin Ruhai finally said his request, Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the request made by this cousin is not difficult, and he can be the leader of the clan to agree.

The cousin in front had done so many things for the clan, if he made any other excessive demands, it would be really hard for me to refuse them all at once. One game is empty!

Lin Xu agreed straight away and said, "I thought it was a big deal, but if I take care of my niece's little things, it's not a problem at all.

How can we say that our Lin clan is also one of the several big clans in the south of the Yangtze River. It is still possible to take care of our little niece and let her not suffer any grievances. Don't worry about it, cousin! "

Hearing this cousin's guarantee, Lin Ruhai finally felt relieved, looked at Lin Daiyu next to him and said:

"Yu'er, just now I hoped that you would keep my filial piety for three years in Suzhou, did you hear that?

If you have anything to say, you can tell your father first, if it is not suitable, we can change it later. "

This is for her father's filial piety, how could Lin Daiyu have any objections!That is wishing to be with his parents every day, not going anywhere.

Hearing her father's question, Lin Daiyu quickly said:

"Where does Yu'er have any opinions! It would be great if Yu'er could stay with her father and mother all the time, Yu'er doesn't want to go anywhere."

"Yu'er is good, it's impossible not to go anywhere, and you will marry in the future!" Lin Ruhai said with a smile.
