[Red Mansion] Married by decree

Chapter 9: The father and daughter in Lin's mansion talk about their concerns and read letters

This Daiyu lived in Zhao's house for a few days, every day Mrs. Zhao handles housework, she must ask Daiyu to accompany her, but she doesn't shy away from it at all, she really regards Daiyu as her own daughter.

Daiyu watched from the side, and understood a third of the way to deal with some things.This Lin Ruhai is weak and has to take care of the official affairs.Although Nanny Lin knew how to deal with it, after all she was getting older, but her heart was kinder.The two of them handled the matter of the inner court, but they were not as good as Zhao's.

Mrs. Zhao acted swiftly and resolutely, with clear rewards and punishments. Even though she was a woman, no one dared to despise her.Although they are not as big and prosperous as Jia's, Lin's and other duke's families, the servants and maids are much more peaceful than these families.At least, there is no such thing as chewing the root of the tongue.

When Daiyu returned home a few days later, a man was coming out of the corner gate.The man was dressed as a scholar, not yet crowned.Seeing Daiyu's sedan chair, it stopped.

"The person in the sedan chair must be a sister from the Daiyu clan."

The butler was sending the man out, so he whispered the identity of the man in You Lan's ear, and You Lan relayed the story to Dai Yu.That person was the grandson of the head of the Lin family, and he came here this time because of Lin Ruhai's letter of recommendation.

The Guozijian accepts some students every year. These students are either the heirs of high-ranking officials or talents recommended by the local government.As a member of the second rank, Lin Ruhai naturally has the qualifications to recommend.

"It turned out to be the elder brother of the clan. It is inconvenient for Daiyu to get off the sedan chair, so I hope the elder brother of the clan will forgive me."

"It's okay. I heard that the clan sister was married by the emperor, and the clan brother is here to congratulate the clan sister. If the clan brother has something to do, he will leave first."

When Daiyu came back, there were even more items than when she went.Then let Youlan take the servants and send all the things into her courtyard.Those who should enter the private treasury are registered and placed in the private treasury.Daiyu herself went to visit Lin Ruhai first.

"Yu'er, you get along well with Brother Zhao's family, so you can rest assured as a father."

"Father..." Seeing Lin Ruhai's appearance of explaining the funeral, Daiyu felt sad, but she was afraid that Lin Ruhai would be worried, so she could only hold back: "Yifu's family has treated Yu'er very well. By her side, Yu'er has learned a lot."

"That's good." Lin Ruhai said, but sighed: "Before your mother passed away, your father's health was not good." Lin Ruhai's eyes became a little far-reaching, as if he was missing something.

Daiyu was also nostalgic, as if her life had undergone earth-shaking changes since her mother's death.These few times in the Zhao residence, although the person in front of him is not his own mother, it seems to have returned to the past.You don't have to be looked down upon by others, and you don't have to be careful every step of the way.No matter what happens, there are always two people behind to protect you.

"At that time, your mother discussed with Wei father, and she took a fancy to your cousin Jia Baoyu." Lin Ruhai said, but there was some anger in her tone: "You two are about the same age, and it is your uncle's family. Thinking about it, even if I go west for my father, I will definitely treat you well."

"Father, my daughter treats Baoyu like an elder brother." Hearing this, how could Daiyu not understand Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's plan, no wonder she sent herself to Jia's family for many years.However, she felt that she still needed to clarify, even if there were only herself and her father in the room.

"I know it for my father. After your mother passed away, your grandmother sent a letter. Thinking about my father, let the two of you cultivate your relationship first, and you need a female elder to teach you. Even if you are reluctant to give up, my father will send you off. Passed over. Cough cough cough cough..."

"Father." Seeing this, Daiyu stepped forward and patted Lin Ruhai's back to ease his cough.

"Since then, my father has always thought that what he did was right, and that you had a good life. But he never thought that his Jia family... would be so deceitful. About this matter, my father and your mother have secretly told your grandmother I mentioned it, but I didn’t say it clearly.” Now that Daiyu is married to King Anshun, this is the subject of talk, although it is not a big deal, but it will make people uncomfortable.

Judging from the previous situation, the Jia family favored Daiyu, but there was no guarantee that the two families would not fall out one day.Now that I have explained it to Daiyu, if something really happens at that time, Daiyu should be prepared.

"On the side of the clan, the father has already dealt with it properly. When the father passes away, the patriarch will come forward for everything, and there will be no issue of adoption."

"Yu'er is not filial."

"What does this matter have to do with Yu'er?"

But Daiyu knew that if she didn't have herself.Even if the candidate is not to Lin Ruhai's liking, Lin Ruhai will adopt a stepson back.Where would it be like now, the matter behind him had to be taken care of by the patriarch.

Afterwards, Lin Ruhai and Daiyu chatted for a while, and what they said meant that Daiyu would kiss Zhao's house and stay away from Jia's house.During this time, Daiyu experienced a lot, and gradually understood some things.Although some of Lin Ruhai's words were not understood, they were remembered in his heart.Thinking about the future, you will naturally understand.

A few days later, Lin Ruhai's illness worsened a lot.There was a strong smell of medicine in Lin Ruhai's courtyard, which made people feel bitter when they smelled it.In just a few days, the whole person lost a lot of weight.

But she said that when Jia's mother received the letter, the Lin family's Mid-Autumn Festival had just arrived.Looking at the boxing ceremony, which was worth almost the same value as in the past, Mother Jia still thought that the two families were still the same as before.

Daiyu didn't prepare this ceremony for Jia's family.Because the capital is far away from Yangzhou, Jia's rituals were prepared early and shipped out.At that time, Daiyu hadn't arrived in Yangzhou. Although Lin Ruhai got some letters, she didn't have any more detailed information.Therefore, etiquette is naturally the same as usual.

When Jia's mother read the letter, she knew that Lin Ruhai's time was running out, so she hurriedly sent someone to find Jia Lian.Jia Lian heard that Jia's mother was looking for him urgently, so she didn't dare to neglect.

"Lian'er is here. I just received a letter from your Uncle Lin, saying that he is seriously ill and will die soon." Mother Jia picked up her handkerchief and wiped her tears as she spoke, "I have pity on your sister. She died soon after she returned. Such bad news. I'm really worried that your cousin won't take the blow."

"It's the cousin's blessing that the ancestors cared about my cousin Daiyu."

"Your cousin is young and weak, and she has no brothers to help her. After your uncle is gone, she will be bullied. I'm afraid that the wealth of the family will be taken by thieves. It's a long way from the capital to Yangzhou, old lady I feel sorry for your little sister, and I have the heart to protect her, but I also have the heart to be powerless."

"Don't worry, old lady, Lian'er is going to Yangzhou right now, and will definitely bring back all her sisters. Absolutely not, let others deceive you."

"Lian'er has never done anything wrong, so I am relieved. It's just that your sister is not in good health, so you must not worry about it."

"Lian'er saves it."

Every word Jia Mu said was concerned about Daiyu, but the meaning behind her words shocked Jia Lian.Then he thought of the benefits behind it, and agreed.Immediately thinking of Daiyu's current identity, she had a plan in her mind.He actually planned to take the blame on the members of the Lin family.

The Jia family's abacus jingled, but they didn't know that Lin Ruhai had already calculated everything and was just waiting for them to come.

After Jia Lian left, she went back to her room, where Sister Feng and Ping'er were talking.Seeing Jia Lian coming in, he stopped.

"Help me prepare my luggage."

"Where is Second Master going? But what orders does the old lady have?"

"Where else can I go, isn't it Yangzhou? Then Uncle Lin wrote a letter saying that he was seriously ill. The old lady was afraid that she would not be able to hold on, so she asked me to rush there."

"The old lady cares about Cousin Lin."

"Where is the concern? The old lady is fancy, but it is the legacy of Uncle Lin."

"Second Master be careful, be careful that walls have ears." Sister Feng made Ping'er speed up the packing and added another sentence: "Second Master has a long way to go, so pay more attention to your body."

"Second Master, Master invites you to come over." The two of them were still about to say something, but the people around Jia She came in.

The Jia Lian couple usually flattered the second room and Jia's mother, but they were not so devoted to their father.Jia Amnesty has always been obsessed with women, and he just pretends not to know about it.I rarely find two people on weekdays, so how can I send someone over today.

"Father looking for me?" Jia Lian said politely.

"I heard that the old lady asked you to go to Yangzhou?"

"Go back to father, that's what the old lady ordered. Because of Uncle Lin's letter, the old lady was worried about Cousin Lin, so she let Lian'er go over."

"Lian'er, the old lady is also old, so sometimes she is confused."

"For Lian'er, my father has other orders, and Lian'er has to rush to Yangzhou."

"You... evil, evil." Jia She smashed the tea cup in his hand while talking, and Jia Lian just resigned and left, but it seemed that he didn't listen to Jia She's words at all.

For his father, Jia Lian's feelings are very complicated. He is obviously the one who inherits the title, but he is suppressed by the second wife in everything.Even his husband and wife had to please the second room in order to live better.It seems that after the death of the mother, the father changed, and the status of himself and others also changed.
