Red House Reorganization Family

There was a little delay on the way to Gusu Lin's house, so they came a day later than they expected.But in the end, people came from every house, and even the patriarch first house brought his grandchildren Lin Zhen and Lin Zan. If Lin Ruhai needs it, these two younger generations can also stay in Yangzhou to help Fu Ling return to Gusu.

Lin Ruhai naturally understood the old patriarch's kindness, but he had some plans of his own, and he needed to discuss it with Lin Chen's mother.

The Lin family is a generation of scholars. Even if Lin Ruhai's status is higher, the Lin Jiatang family still has some status in Gusu, so it is impossible for the elders of the Lin Jiatang family to lower their status to express their condolences, and others of the same generation as Lin Ruhai will not be sorry. Ask more about his ideas.

Therefore, during the two days that the Lin Jiatang family stayed in Yangzhou, in addition to expressing their condolences, they also proposed to pay a visit to Xu's aunt because she was here.

Mrs. Xu heard that her brother-in-law Lin Zhi did not come, but his son Lin Xuan came instead, so she was a little bit hesitant and wanted to agree, but Mrs. Xue was unwilling and insisted on opposing them to disturb Qingjing.

Don't look at Mrs. Xu who seems to be gentle and has no temper at ordinary times, but her ideas are also very righteous. For a while, the two of them couldn't stand a stalemate, so they turned their heads together to ask Jiang Wen's opinion.

Jiang Wen was drinking scented tea and listening to the two arguing each other. Hearing their questioning for a while, he looked at Mrs. Xue helplessly, and persuaded: "Chen'er is always a descendant of the Lin family in Gusu. My mother and I It will also be buried in the ancestral grave of the Lin family, since the younger generations of the Lin family are not all bad, let's treat them differently."

Lin Chen hadn't made a sound before, but when he heard his mother agreeing to the clansmen's coming, he smiled and coaxed his grandmother, "In my grandson's generation, there are only two cousins, Brother Yan and Brother Zan. I have always been on good terms with my grandson, grandma, please let them come over..."

Xue Shi was already very easy to compromise with his grandson, thinking that the juniors from Gusu Lin's family who came this time are not annoying, although he still didn't answer, his expression already showed the intention of agreeing.

Jiang Wen raised an eyebrow at his son, and glanced at Xue Shi again.

Lin Chen nodded with a smile, filled his grandmother's cup with scented tea, and said in a coquettish tone, "Grandmother, please agree? Besides, the clansmen came here for the sake of etiquette, and maybe they are also struggling in their hearts." !"

"Good good-"

Because of the closeness of her grandson, Xue couldn't control the corners of her mouth that were happy, so she immediately nodded and agreed to come down the steps.

Jiang Wen couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw it. It was like this every time, as long as her grandson spoke, the speed of regress would always break through the lower limit in the end, and there was no principle at all!

But at any rate, he agreed to the arrival of the Lin family members, so Lin Chen directly sent a servant to his uncle's house to inform him.The next day, they came to the door. Although Mrs. Xue said that she didn't like seeing people in front of her family, she was so thoughtful that no one could find any faults when she saw them.

On the contrary, Jiang Wen, as long as his eyes fall on them, these people will unconsciously dodge. After all, Mrs. Xue is powerful, and in their opinion, it is only because of the support of her natal family, but for Jiang Wen, they are I really dare not provoke...

Therefore, a group of men exchanged pleasantries with Jiang Wen's family of four, and then proposed to leave. Mrs. Xu did not hold grudges, and sincerely invited everyone to stay for lunch. Mrs. Xue echoed a little falsely, but they did not stay long and insisted on leaving.

The Gusu Tang family stayed at Lin's house for another night, and Lin Ruhai didn't say that they needed their help the next day, so everyone left without hesitation. This time, Lin Ruhai took the time to send the Lin family Tang family away with Lin Chen.

The Lin family was going to stop for Jia Min for a month. Lin Ruhai paid great attention to the visitors from Rongguo Mansion, and asked the second butler of the mansion to wait at the pier early, but he didn't expect the servant who came back early to report that his wife's nephew hadn't come. To express condolences, this is not what Lin Ruhai expected.

"Uncle, maybe the journey is far away, Rongguo Mansion can't get away..."

Lin Ruhai was silent for a long time, then raised his head and said to Lin Chen, "I'll visit your house when I have some free time."

"Is there something wrong with uncle?"

"..." Lin Ruhai got up from the chair, did not answer, but said: "The people from the Rongguo Mansion are coming, Chen'er, please go outside the gate to meet them on behalf of uncle."

"Is this... convenient?" After all, it was my aunt's family, and it was a family like Rongguo Mansion, so Lin Chen had some concerns.

Lin Ruhai turned his back to Lin Chen, stood in front of the window, looked at the bamboo forest outside the study, "No problem, you can go."

In this way, Lin Chen bowed and followed his uncle's order to welcome the visitors from Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Ruhai didn't wait long, and Lin Chen brought the maidservant of the Rongguo Mansion to his study. The first lady gave her name, first cried for Jia Min, and then said: "The old lady in the mansion always loves you the most. The one was Fourth Miss, who hadn't seen each other for many years and suddenly found out that she had let go, so sad that she immediately fell ill."

"I also hope that my mother-in-law will take care of her health."

The old woman blessed her body, wiped her eyes and said: "Grandpa Lin is also mourning and obedient. This time the servants and others are here, in addition to condolences to Miss Fourth, the old lady also feels sorry for Miss Lin who lost her mother at a young age. I am afraid that no one will take care of her. I hope I can take her to Beijing..."

Lin Chen looked over in surprise, then looked at his uncle, waiting for his answer together with everyone in Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Ruhai didn't expect that the Rongguo Mansion wanted to take Daiyu together. Although he was reluctant, he knew that what they said was not unreasonable, so he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he said to several people: "This matter is still a bit sudden. I'll think about it carefully and talk about it later."

Later, Lin Ruhai ordered someone to bring a few people to meet Daiyu, but just as he finished speaking, he changed his tone and said, "Chen'er, you should lead the way."

Lin Chen smiled and bowed back, "It just so happens that Chen'er hasn't seen my sister today, so let's go and have a look."

Lin Ruhai nodded in relief, "You brothers and sisters have always had a good relationship, so go."

"Yes." Lin Chen turned around and reached out to the servants of the Jia family, pointing to the door, and said, "Please, everyone."

Lin Chen didn't talk too much with Jia's family, and brought them directly to Daiyu. Seeing that Daiyu's nurse and aunt's personal nurse, Dongma, were there, he had nothing to worry about, so he spoke kindly. After a few words of concern, he said goodbye and left.

After he left, although Daiyu knew that she was a servant of her grandmother's family, but in terms of intimacy, she was no better than her elder brother Lin Chen whom she had liked since she was a child. She was well educated, and did not make Jia's servants feel slighted .

After talking, Lin Daiyu asked them to take them to rest, Mother Dong took a step forward with a smile, and said: "Miss, I have known them since they were in Rongguo Mansion, why don't I let the servants go?"

Lin Daiyu nodded seriously, and said, "Then Sister Dong, treat me well, don't neglect me."

"Yes, the servant knows."

Sister Dong personally led a group of people to rest in the yard arranged in advance. On the way, the mother-in-law of the Jia family asked: "Is that young master the one from the Lin family that the fourth miss said he studied with Young Master Lin? What do I think?" It seems that the Lin family is quite valued by my uncle?"

"Master Chen is naturally valued. In the entire Gusu Lin family, there is no one who is more amazing and talented than Master Chen!" Although Sister Dong married the young lady to the Lin family, she still looked at Lin's family. Chen has become the young Pianpian now, so he inevitably felt a little proud and said: "Last year in Qiuwei, Master Chen passed the No. 2 exam, and he is a famous young man in Yangzhou!"

Jia Min was seriously ill last year, and the husband and wife must not be in the mood to talk about it with the Rongguo Mansion, so everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was shocked when they heard it. There is someone who won the exam at such a young age!

"What a young talent!"

"That's natural, otherwise the master and madam wouldn't like Master Chen so much. Even the young lady's enlightenment was initiated by Master Chen himself."

When the woman heard this, she curled her lips and said with a bit of disdain: "It's just a son of a cousin, why should you act like a son of my aunt's family!"

What you said was a little out of date and out of order. Mother Dong glanced at the servants of the Lin family, frowned and said, "This is the Lin family, please be careful with your words and deeds."

After the mother-in-law finished speaking, seeing the expressions of the servants of the Lin family, she knew that she was a little outspoken for a while, but in Rongguo Mansion, she was considered a servant with face, but she was embarrassed by others, and she felt embarrassed for a while, and the atmosphere was silent down.

In the end, Lin Ruhai found out about this matter. Although Lin Chen is from the Tang family, this child is smart and kind-hearted. He and his wife have always loved him very much. Now that he is belittled by the servants of the Rongguo Mansion, he naturally feels a little bit in his heart. Unexpectedly, it's just because it belongs to the Yue family, and it's not easy to discipline, so I can only pretend that I don't know.

Then the next day, when all the servants and women of the Rongguo Mansion mourned Jia Min, Madam Su presided over them, and asked Lin Chen to take care of the Lin family temporarily, while he went to Lin Chen's house in person.

Knowing that Lin Ruhai had come in person, Jiang Wen and Xue's and Xu's were a little at a loss. They didn't know what was going on with his sudden visit at this time, but they were just puzzled, and they politely invited in.

Jiang Wen saw that the first two elders didn't intend to speak, so he looked at Lin Ruhai and asked, "I don't know why Mr. Lin is here today?"

Lin Ruhai bowed his hands and saluted, and said sincerely: "Ruhai does have something to ask today, if there is any offense, I hope the two elders and sister-in-law Yuan will not blame you."

The three of them looked at each other, Xu stood up and helped him up, and said in a gentle voice: "You say so, if we can help if we can, we will naturally be willing."

Lin Ruhai took a step back and bowed again, saying, "Ruhai wants to take Chen'er as a foster son, and help my wife to return to Gusu."

"Yezi?!" The three women said in unison.

"Yes, Ruhai has always regarded Chen'er as his own son, and so is my wife, that's why I made this request, and I hope to agree..."

"No," Jiang Wen pursed his lips, and asked with some confusion: "We are of the same clan, if Master Lin needs Chen'er to help the spirit, we will naturally not stop it, why do we need to accept it as righteousness?" Son? And are there uncles and nephews who betrayed father and son? Isn’t it superfluous?”

Lin Ruhai didn't mind Jiang Wen's directness, and answered honestly: "To tell you the truth, Lin doesn't want to remarry, but after a hundred years, he doesn't care about his daughter. After all, the Lin family is a little far away from my branch. In the end, the name is not right and the words are not right, Chen'er is filial, I can't bring up adoption to make things difficult for you, so it's good to adopt him as a foster son."

When Jiang Wen heard this, he understood a little. If he was worried that Lin Daiyu would be left unattended in the future, it would not be surprising that he would do this, but, "Is there anything that the clansmen can't justify?"

Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Yu'er's grandmother sent someone to express her condolences, and at the same time hoped that she could take Yu'er back to Beijing to take care of her. Ruhai thought again and again that it would be inappropriate for a girl to have no female elders to teach her, so she wanted Chen'er to take care of her." Go to Beijing in advance to prepare for the exam and take care of one or two. But I will ask my friends to guide him, and I will not delay my studies..."

"We know how Mrs. Lin treats Chen'er." Jiang Wen turned his head and glanced at Lao Jiangtou who came back with Lin Ruhai, seeing him nodding, he smiled and said to Lin Ruhai: "Chen'er has been taught a lot by you, he It is also necessary to take care of Daiyu, and we have agreed to adopt him as a foster son."

Lin Ruhai looked happy, and regardless of Jiang Wen's mother, daughter, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they bowed each other again, got up and said: "Then this time Chen'er helped the spirit back to Gusu, I will write a letter to the old patriarch, asking him to help him." Be a witness!"

"Let Master Lin say it."

After discussing this matter, it was not convenient for Lin Ruhai to stay longer, so he said goodbye and left.After returning to Lin's house, after chatting with Lin Chen, she ordered Mother Su to start preparing for Daiyu's journey to the north.

When Lin Daiyu learned that her father wanted to send her away, she felt very sad, so she came to her father's study, and said with tears in her eyes, "Daddy, Yu'er doesn't want to leave you..."

Lin Ruhai patted her daughter's head lightly, and patiently explained to her why he did so.

When Lin Daiyu heard that her father wanted to adopt Brother Chen as a foster son, she naturally didn't resist at all, and said cleverly: "Since we have adopted him as a foster son, the relationship between our family and Brother Chen's family is naturally different from the past. Auntie cannot teach Yu Son? Isn’t this also a legitimate elder?”

"This..." Lin Ruhai didn't expect her daughter to react so quickly, so she looked at her with relief and said, "It's not that I haven't thought about it as a father, but it's almost nine out of ten that your elder brother Chen will stay in the capital in the future." , when the time comes, your aunt and the others will also come to Beijing, and your grandmother misses you so much, why don't you go to Beijing earlier, so that father will not have to worry about the future."

"Father……"

Lin Daiyu still wanted to distinguish, Lin Ruhai shook her head, "I don't want to be separated from my son, but your mother is with me in Yangzhou, it's hard to feel sorry for not being filial to your grandmother, you should fulfill her long-cherished wish as follows .”

So what else can Lin Daiyu say, she can only nod with tears and promise that she will honor her grandmother well and not fall into the Lin family's style.

"You are still young, so you don't need to carry too much."

But Lin Daiyu stubbornly did not speak, Lin Ruhai could only sigh and said: "If there is anything, I will go to your elder brother Chen."

"My daughter knows."
