The eldest grandson of the Red Chamber

Tomorrow is the winter solstice, so it's not easy to spend it outside. The grandparents and grandsons drove home together today. In the carriage, the two sat facing each other. Unexpectedly, Ming Xie threw a bomb, which shocked Ming Xu dizzy.

"Grandfather, what did you just say? My grandson may have an ear problem." Ming Xu's words were a little fluttering.

"I said the day before yesterday I arranged a marriage for you." Ming Xu repeated leisurely, and finally stared at Ming Xu with a look of anticipation.

Surprise, not unexpected?

It's not good, Ming Xu is going to be scared stupid, if it is so fast, he will only be able to cut at eleven, but thinking about it this way, eleven seems to be a lot.

"Which family did grandfather decide on?" Mingxu already had a guess in his heart, his heart was beating like thunder, but his face remained calm, and he personally asked his grandfather for confirmation.

"What does Xu'er think?" Ming Xie naturally saw Sun'er's forced composure, and teased him rather viciously.

"Xu'er doesn't think that marriage matters are always decided by the parents and the words of the matchmaker. What do I think and what can I do?" Ming Xu replied back clearly. I'm afraid this engagement is just a temporary idea, and you didn't discuss it with my parents. Well, and grandma, let's see how you explain it when you go back!

Mingxie choked for a moment, this grandson was really not cute since he was a child, "You must have thought of it, she is your Lin Shibo's daughter." Mingxie didn't hold back any more, affirming his thoughts.

Sure enough, Mingxu's hanging heart fell to the ground. To be honest, his heart was a bit complicated, but I'm afraid that no one will be calm if this matter is put on anyone's head. Although he has accepted this world for a long time, spectators and participants must not In comparison, he also knew early on that he had no right to speak about his marriage, but he was not too worried. His parents and elders would not cheat him. It was better than finding him by fate in this environment of strict etiquette.

But I still didn't expect the elders to be so powerful, and they settled down with Sister Lin without saying a word. I was really pleasantly surprised, unexpectedly.

Yes, surprise, compared to others, this is an acquaintance, and Miss Lin is indeed a very pleasing girl, isn't she, um, very cute.

Ming Xu has never met Miss Lin, and he doesn't know what she thinks of him when she gets news in the future, but at least now he is looking forward to it, so that's good, he thought.

Seeing that his grandson seemed to be lost in thought, but his body was trembling unconsciously, he knew that his heart was not at peace.Ming Xie didn't know that the waves in his heart were turbulent, but felt that he had lost his grace.

"Your Lin Shibo only has this one daughter. Now that he has promised you, it shows that he is satisfied with you. You can't let him down." Mingxie did not forget to remind him.

"Grandfather said so, but you said, Grandfather, Lin Shibo is not well." The boy's voice was full of sadness.Promising marriage while seriously ill is really not a good sign.

Mingxie sighed, and didn't know what to say, sudden illness has always been like this, so he doesn't prepare for it.

When they got home, Mingxie talked about the engagement, and Sun really couldn't sit still, "Brother Xu, go back and rest first, I have something to say to your grandfather." Sun's voice was obviously suppressed.

Mingxu held back a smile and gave his grandfather a look to let him experience it, and then left, wishing for happiness.

"I can't live through this day, you old bastard, are you trying to piss me off?" Mrs. Sun kicked out the servants as well, speaking indiscriminately angrily, as if she was going to wipe her tears when she sat down.

"Madam calm down, it hurts me a lot. What's the point of getting angry, Xu'er is engaged, it's a good thing." Mingxie stepped forward to hug her, old couple and young wife, he always pampered her.

Mrs. Sun broke away from him: "Do you still have me in your heart? Xu'er's betrothal matter is so big that you have passed me. You are so confused, have you seen her girl? How is her character and appearance? What are you afraid of?" It was settled without asking." The more Sun talked, the more she felt aggrieved, and when she returned to Beijing, how could she explain to Song, she was not the only one who overcame this matter.Even if Xu'er's mother didn't say anything, she wouldn't be happy in her heart.

"Isn't the situation urgent? We have to act in a hurry, and we didn't have time to listen to Madam's opinion, but Madam can rest assured that even though he has never met the girl, the Lin family's upbringing is still trustworthy." Ming Xie coaxed her, this matter is indeed his. No reason.

"I'm afraid you only think about your student, and don't think about Xu'er at all. I don't think Lin's sister is suitable for our brother." Sun was not polite at all.Lin Hai's teacher's wife was Mingxie's former wife, and she didn't know Mrs. Sun very well, so she spoke less politely.

"What's the explanation? Why don't they match?" Mingxie didn't understand, he thought it was just right.

"I'm also thinking about our Xu'er. Don't blame me for speaking harshly. If nothing else, their Lin family seems to be short-lived, and they are single generations with few children. If the sister of the Lin family is like this, she will not harm Xu'er in the future. Is it!" Sun thinks that choosing a grandson's daughter-in-law's health is the most important thing, and it is better for young couples to accompany them when they grow old.

"Ma'am, that's a bad word. The luck of the Lin family is indeed not very good, but their life expectancy should be fine. They are not all short-lived. Lin Hai's grandfather lived longer than ordinary people. Besides, there are few daughters in his family. , but in the past hundred years, there are only a few who are not like my father in this regard." Sun is worried, but he doesn't really care, what happens in the future depends on how Xu'er treats her.

Speaking of this matter, it is hard for Mrs. Sun to say anything more. After all, she is also a sensible woman, knowing that it is useless to say anything, it is a foregone conclusion.It's just that I can't just let it go like this, or I'm afraid it will happen again next time, so let the old guy sleep in the study, she has to think hard about how to open this mouth with Song.

Besides, in Jia's mansion in the capital, ever since she received a letter from her father who was seriously ill, Daiyu was startled and frightened. Yes, I can't make Daiyu anxious. I'm in a state of panic all day long, and even Baoyu doesn't dare to mess with her.Ming Lai got Xin'er to say goodbye to her, and advised people not to hurt too much, pay attention to their own body, Mr. Lin is an auspicious person, but it has little effect.

Finally when it came time to sail, Daiyu took her maid and was escorted by Jia Lian on the journey home, but her heart was very heavy.

Zijuan just went outside to get something, and saw her girl leaning on the bed, wiping her tears again.Sighing: "Girl, don't cry any more. You haven't arrived in Yangzhou yet. I'm afraid you'll get sick from crying. When you see Mr. Lin, it's not for nothing to make him worry."

"Zicuckoo, I am unfilial. My father has been in poor health since my younger brother and mother passed away, but I couldn't follow him around, and even abandoned him. Now this is God's retribution for me." Daiyu murmured Nam, her face was extremely pale, her eyes were dull, as if she had entered a barrier.

Zijuan was taken aback, and quickly persuaded: "What are you thinking, Miss, Mr. Lin is doing well, and I'm waiting for the girl to go home and reunite with her father and daughter."

Daiyu seemed to come back to her senses: "Yes, Zijuan, you are right, Daddy is fine, and so am I." The little girl said softly, "Daddy loves me so much, he won't abandon me."

Zijuan's nose was sour, and tears came down all at once. She wiped her hands and hugged Daiyu, "Good girl, don't think so, you will be home soon, you should be happier."

"Yes, Daddy will be fine. I'll be home soon, and I will never leave his side again." Daiyu clenched her fists and made up her mind.

At the same time, Lin Hai went to the capital to write a letter, telling Jia Mu about the marriage contract of the Minglin family.

After the day of the winter solstice, Mingxu came to Lin's house again, but he clearly felt that Lin Hai's attitude towards him had changed, and he became more intimate. It's not his turn to talk about things, just a few words occasionally.

Now, I can't wait to pick out all his little problems, not only that, but also take the time to tell him the principles and rules of the world, as if to give Mingxu all the experience and lessons he has accumulated over the past few decades, I can't wait for him to realize it immediately, so that he can take some detours in the future.

The beloved son of the parents has a far-reaching plan. Lin Hai really treats Mingxu as his nephew, or more precisely, his son-in-law, and a son-in-law is like a son-in-law.Mingxu was both moved and sad in his heart, it was his honor to have someone treat each other with such sympathy, but now this person is suffering from illness, but he is helpless, it is really sad.

After a few more days, it was said that the boat of Jia's mansion would be docking on this day. After hearing the news, Lin Hai was obviously in better spirits, so he wanted to pick it up in person. Ask He Mingxu to pick him up.

Mingxu and the others arrived at the pier early, and after waiting for about an hour, the boat finally landed. After everything was arranged, the first person to come down was a handsome young man in a brocade suit. Lin Rang reacted very quickly. , and went directly to him: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but the second master Lian still has the same demeanor."

The young man hurriedly returned the salute: "I asked you to be more courteous, you don't see much change, you are still growing strong." Then he looked at Ming Xu beside him, "Who is this?"

"Second Master Lian, please forgive me for being rude. This young master will talk to you later. Do you want to invite my lady out first?" Lin Rang was obviously anxious.

"It's just that I'm not thorough, let uncle please." Jia Lian confessed wisely.

So Lin Rang waved his hand, and the women brought out behind him carried the sedan chair to the boat.After receiving the person, the group went back to Lin's mansion.Mingxu didn't say the last sentence the whole time, let alone seeing someone, fortunately, he had expected it, and it can't be called disappointment.

Jia Lian, on the other hand, has always been curious about Ming Xu's identity, guessing where uncle Lin recognized his son, ordinary outsiders can't respect Lin Rang, an old man who has lived for many years.He was thinking randomly, but he arrived at the Lin Mansion without noticing.

It was getting late, and he was still hesitating whether to visit Uncle Lin right now, but was led by Lin Rang to the guest room. Well, in this case, just rest and visit him tomorrow.

Here, Mingxu saw Daiyu's sedan chair being carried directly to the main courtyard, but he wisely didn't follow, the father and daughter were reunited, so it's better not to offend others, since he went to his own courtyard, he didn't mention it.

And here, the Lin family father and daughter finally met again after two years.
