[Red Mansion] Married by decree

When Daiyu came to look for Lin Ruhai again, she found that Lin Ruhai had passed away.His face was peaceful, and he didn't seem to be in any pain when he left.This may be the only place where Daiyu feels comforted.

For Lin Ruhai's death, Daiyu was caught off guard and felt extremely sad.In addition, serving Lin Ruhai was overworked these days, so he passed out on the spot.However, Steward Lin seemed to be ready. Although he was also sad, he asked someone to invite the head of the Lin family.

The funeral has strict rules and procedures. Although he couldn't bear it, the butler still asked Daiyu to wake him up.The beneficiary of Lin Ruhai's funeral was his cousin, and it was arranged by Patriarch Lin early in the morning.

After Daiyu woke up, there was another burst of grief, but she was persuaded by Zhao Shi.In addition to the accessories on her body, Daiyu changed into white clothes.

The butler arranged for someone to summon the soul first, and seeing that Lin Ruhai had no response, they sacrificed Lin Ruhai with sacrifices.Then, from the steps on the east, Lin Ruhai's body was transported to the hall.Fu put the sacrifices to the east of Lin Ruhai's body and set up the mourning hall.

The standing position above the hall is also very particular. The cousin knelt to the east of Lin Ruhai's body, and the rest of Lin Ruhai's cousins ​​all faced west and stood behind the cousin.

The cousin's wife faced her husband and knelt to the west, with his children behind her.Because Daiyu is Lin Ruhai's first daughter, she is also in the hall, and she stands behind the cousin's wife.

The rest of the Lin family's children within Lin Ruhai's fifth uniform stood outside the hall, the men were still on the east side and the women were on the west side.But Jia Lian stood outside the door because it was a foreign marriage.

The entire Lin family mansion turned white, and white lanterns were placed at the gate.The servants who go in and out are also dressed in white.

Because this place is far away from the capital, Yunze is both the emperor's imperial envoy and the emperor's younger brother.That clan brother sent someone to tell Yun Ze the news of Lin Ruhai's death.When Yunze came to worship, he ordered people to withdraw the curtain.

The man greeted Yunze outside the door, went in first, and stood on the right facing north.Yun Ze entered behind that person, entered from the west steps, and stood facing east.Behind Yunze was a person who was holding a piece of clothing, which was given by the emperor when he came.It was only after people entered the atrium that Yunze opened his mouth to speak.

"Lin Qing is loyal to the emperor and the country. Now I hear that Lin Qing has returned to the west. I am very sad. I specially gave you a quilt to accompany you." At the emperor's words, the clan brother knelt down to thank him, and then cried a few times to express his grief.Yunze waited for him to finish his worship before inviting him up.

Yunze took the clothes from the person behind him, held the collar with his left hand, dragged his waist with his right hand, and walked into the hall.

Yun Ze came to Lin Ruhai's corpse, covered the clothes in his hands on Lin Ruhai's corpse, and turned around to get down.When he got to Daiyu's side, Yunze stopped.

"Miss Lin, don't be overly sad. Everything depends on me." After Yunze finished speaking, he started to walk out again. Lin Ruhai's cousin also followed him and sent him out.

Although Lin Ruhai is in charge and the patriarch is in charge, there is still restlessness in the Lin Ruhai clan.Now Yunze's words are to support Daiyu.Seeing this, those restless people rested their minds.

After Yunze left, that cousin asked someone to reset the curtain again.He is also ready to welcome other guests.

The gate of the Lin Mansion was opened, and there was a constant flow of people, all of whom were local dignitaries and officials.Regardless of whether they had friendship before or how deep they were, those people all came to worship.There are even some who have only met once, with sad expressions, but it seems that the dead are old friends.

On the contrary, it was Zhao Ye, who was holding back his grief, but he was not as sad as those people from the look of his expression.It's just that he is sad in his heart, and he is also one of the few people who are really sad.

Lin Ruhai's cousin is the head of the funeral, and he is the one who greets and greets the guests, so he is exhausted after a whole day.I don't see anything to complain about. After a funeral, I have been doing my best.

Lin Ruhai's coffin and other things have already been prepared, but because Lin Ruhai was sealed as a marquis, everything must be done according to the rank of the marquis.What was originally prepared can no longer be used.

After Steward Lin learned that Lin Ruhai had been sealed, he had already started preparations.Everything was rushed, but nothing went wrong.Lin Ruhai's funeral was going on in an orderly manner, and Daiyu didn't have much to do.Chang Chang Yunze obviously supported Daiyu, but no one did or said anything to Daiyu.

Lin Ruhai only left Daiyu as a daughter, so even though Daiyu was a woman, she was the one who kept the spirit.After nightfall, only Daiyu was left in the mourning hall, and the Zhang family who accompanied Daiyu.

The Zhang family is Lin Ruhai's concubine family. According to the law, any man in his [-]s who has no children can have a concubine. Of course, the number is also limited.And Mrs. Zhang was one of Lin Ruhai's concubines back then.

Zhang's family is a peasant girl. Although her family background is not obvious, she is a girl from an innocent family and a noble concubine.Compared with Jia Zheng's concubine in the Rongguo Mansion, her status is much higher.

At the beginning, Lin Ruhai married two concubines, and the other one was promoted by a maid.That woman was originally Lin Ruhai's mother's personal maid. Seeing that Lin Ruhai had no children for a long time, Lin's mother gave Lin Ruhai a concubine.Because it was bestowed by Lin Ruhai's mother, her status is higher than that of ordinary concubines promoted by maidservants. Of course, she cannot compare to noble concubines like Zhang.

The maid lived up to Lin's mother's expectations and became pregnant within a few years.If she gave birth to a boy, it would be Lin Ruhai's eldest son.Lin Ruhai and Lin Mu were very happy when they heard the news.

Because it was the first child, in order to give the child status, Lin Ruhai discussed with his mother and decided to raise the child under Jia Min's name.Although the concubine was reluctant, she could not control this matter, and this matter was good for the child, so she had no complaints in her heart.

Originally, everything was fine, but because the child was to be raised under his own name, Jia Min also took good care of the concubine, hoping that she would give birth to a boy.

But when the concubine was six months pregnant, Jia Min was also diagnosed as pregnant.In this way, the child in the concubine's womb may threaten the status of her own child.Together, Jia Min and his wet nurse created some accidents, causing the concubine's child to abort.

Although the concubine was resentful, she didn't have any proof, so she could only endure silently.Jia Min and the nurse thought that nothing had been discovered, but they didn't want the concubine to know the truth long ago.It is even more important to find the right opportunity to prescribe medicine to Jia Min.

Jia Min was pregnant with Daiyu in that womb. Although the fetus was saved in the end, it was less than a month old.As a result, Daiyu was born in poor health, and even Jia Min's health was affected.In the end, Jia Min's nanny took all the crimes and took Jia Min out.But Jia Min's nurse and the concubine were both disposed of.

Mrs. Zhang can also see clearly, since then she has been peaceful and quiet.I don't want to compete for favor, but I have lived a good life these years.After Jia Min passed away, she was the one who served Lin Ruhai all the time.Instead, Lin Ruhai arranged for the housekeeper to give her a sum of money and buy her a property.After Lin Ruhai's funeral is over, he will be sent out.

Zhang's own savings over the years, together with the resettlement fee given by Lin Ruhai, is enough for Zhang to live a good life.Even, enough for her to support her own parents well.Although life is not extravagant, it can also be a life of peace and contentment.
