The eldest grandson of the Red Chamber

Lin Hai woke up from the chaos, and after a while, he saw the teacher sitting in front of the bed and looking at him.He tried his best to smile: "The teacher is here?"

Ming Xie looked helpless, and said in a sad tone, "You know, I didn't want to come." The most regrettable thing in the world is the death of an old friend. At his age, such exhausting things should be rare, but what happened His student didn't live up to his expectations, and actually wanted him to visit the deceased in person, so as to lose any connection with this world and the past.

"Teacher, take it easy. The student's life is quite calm. Although it is not enough, it is more than enough. Life is like this, so I am content." Lin Hai's tone was very calm, with a slight pant.

"Why do I need you to persuade me, as long as you feel better, so you are relieved of your daughter?" Ming Xie was slightly relieved when he saw that he was in a calm mood.Since death is inevitable, all we can do is to be as calm as possible.

"What about my Yu'er? The teacher has seen it?" Lin Hai sat up with the help of Ming Xie, but he still couldn't bear to talk to the teacher while lying down, the etiquette of the aristocratic family had been engraved in his bones.

"The little girl guarded you all night and was persuaded to go back to rest. I've seen her before. She is a pure and filial child." Ming Xie replied to him one by one.

"That's good. Teacher, help me read this notebook." Lin Hai took out a long notebook from under the pillow and handed it to Mingxie.

Next to the booklet was a prepared envelope sealed with black sealing wax. Lin Hai had the right to write directly to the emperor without further investigation. This looked like a secret letter, but he handed it to Mingxie without any hesitation.

Mingxie also seemed to have not seen the seal, and took it over. The booklet was very thick. The first few pages were the latest account books about the salt administration and the arrangements of various forces. Before the Yamen was sealed, Mingxie helped Lin Hai read it for a while, and then He was familiar with it, and there was nothing wrong with it. As for the hidden accounts behind, Mingxie turned over directly.

After finishing the official business, the next few pages are a petition letter.

This petition was written from Lin Hai and the first official, with affectionate and even sticky expressions, but the Tian family seems to accept this.

First of all, I started from the first meeting and said: I have studied the sage's words since I was a child, and I have been in a cold window for more than ten years. Fortunately, my majesty appreciated it.I have won the trust of Your Majesty, so I have worked hard for decades, and I dare not slack off at all, lest I disappoint Your Majesty's feelings towards me.

Afterwards, I recall the past of the monarch and ministers: I deeply feel that your majesty does not think that I have shallow talents and low abilities, but trusts me and entrusts me with heavy responsibilities. Now I have owed God's grace, I am seriously ill, and I am not far away. I am afraid that I will not be able to serve the court again. …

Today I want to leave His Majesty, but I still have a regret in my heart. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me. I was lonely when I was young, lonely in middle age, and desolate below my knees. I only have one daughter. She is still young. I really can't feel at ease. I leave her alone. I have no uncle to teach me. Without the support of brothers, I beg Your Majesty to take care of the little girl and see her grow up.The minister died in peace.

The last page is the arrangements for the funeral: I am the door of the extinct family, please follow my Daqi law, remove the dowry bought by the minister for the little girl and leave the maintenance expenses of her ancestral family, here I implore the Ministry of Households to save the dowry for the little girl , and keep a backup of the number.All other property is turned over to the state treasury, the details are as follows...

After reading it, Ming Xie sighed, "It's doable. I'm not a mean and ungrateful person who is trying my best to govern now. I will write a letter to you and my marriage in the future, so you can rest assured."

Lin Hai was really relieved when he heard it, and it's good that the teacher said the same, just because he is afraid that the emperor will not care about the old love today.

Yu'er was uncomfortable living in Jia's house. He also changed his previous thinking and put the accounts of Lin and Jia's family on the bright side. No one will say anything about Yu'er in the future. It also makes sense.

Now that I die in office, I can barely serve the country with my own body. Now the national treasury is empty, and the wealth of the Lin family has been given to the national treasury. Bless, that's enough, I can't arrange it too far, what happens in the future depends on Yu'er herself.

Lin Hai smiled and came back to his senses: "I made the teacher laugh, Hai still has something to trouble the teacher."

……

Daiyu also woke up here, and quickly called Xueyan, "Xueyan, Daddy is awake!"

"Back to the girl, the master woke up in the morning, and said that he would not call you, let you have a good rest, and don't get sick because of it." Xueyan directly answered the next sentence.

"Then let's go over now." Daiyu gave her an anxious and angry look.

Lin Hai was still awake when Daiyu passed by, it seemed that he had confirmed the arrangements behind, Lin Hai was still in good spirits, and was explaining things to Lin Rang.

"Daddy." Daiyu called out as she entered the door, tears welling up in her eyes.

Lin Hai turned his head slightly, and said warmly: "It's Yu'er who is here, come here, come to Daddy's side."

Daiyu took Lin Hai's hand closer, "How is Daddy feeling today? Is he feeling better?" There was a crying voice in her voice. These days, she was really frightened. She had nightmares at night and couldn't be at peace. Every time Daddy woke up, he felt better. It's just that her father's situation is not good now, and she will fall into a darker dream in the future.

"Daddy feels fine today. Next, Yu'er listens to me carefully, don't cry anymore. After Daddy leaves, no one will wipe my Yu'er's tears." Lin Hai wiped his daughter's eyes with some effort.

"Then Daddy don't leave, Daddy is worried about Yu'er, so why don't you go?" Daiyu begged on her father's bedside, her tears streaming down like beads.

"Silly boy, there is no one who won't leave, sooner or later, Yu'er has to learn to take care of herself." Lin Hai comforted.As his time was approaching, he felt much lighter.

Daiyu was speechless, she didn't want to answer this sentence at all.

"I know Yu'er doesn't like Jia's house, but it's your relative's rented house, so it's better than other houses. Our Lin family members are far away from each other, so that's even more inappropriate! Daddy has already written a letter to the emperor. Now, Daddy's old face must also bring some shelter to Yu'er, so that he won't leave the tea immediately and let people deceive me that there is no one behind Yu'er." Lin Hai took a break and continued.

"I have already made an agreement with the teacher. When you live in Jia's house until Jiji, the Ming family will come to propose marriage. Mingxu is the husband I chose for Yu'er. He has good character and talent. I see you and Xuer The relationship is not bad, with this childhood love, he will not treat you badly in the future, and what happens after that depends on my Yu'er herself, the world is unpredictable, and Dad can't think so far!" Lin Hai said There are a lot of things to explain, but what is said is these general arrangements.

"Daddy, none of them treat me as well as Daddy. Can Daddy stay here? Don't leave Yu'er behind."

Daiyu couldn't accept her father's words about arranging the funeral, she just felt like a dream but not a dream, and her heart ached badly.

Lin Hai stroked his daughter's hair and remained silent. It's just a pity for my Yu'er.

At this time, Mingxu came to see him outside the door, Lin Hai helped his daughter and let him in.

Mingxu entered the room and stood side by side with Daiyu in front of Lin Hai. It wasn't because he was blindsided and wanted to disturb the relationship between father and daughter at this time, but because he felt that Lin Hai probably had something to say to him, but no one knew what Lin Hai was doing today. When will he wake up next time, and will he wake up again, so he came.

"Xu'er has been working hard these days." Lin Hai thanked Ming Xu. His appearance made him make more comprehensive arrangements for Yu'er. If everything goes well, there will be no major disturbances in Yu'er's life. Other little girls are no different. Parents can only ask for these things.

"Shibo told me this, and I was sad. It can be seen that Shibo treats me as an outsider." Mingxu tried his best to keep his voice relaxed. The smell of medicine in the room was too strong, giving people an ominous feeling.

"You're right, you shouldn't be polite to Xu'er. Xu'er has been with me for a while, and I have nothing for you. I have no descendants in Lin Hai, so leave the East Pavilion to Xu'er. Don't refuse, Xu'er. You and I can rest assured, and save time from being ruined by someone!" Lin Hai said calmly.

Ming Xu was not at peace. He had also been to the library in the East Pavilion of the Lin Mansion, and he was shocked at that time. The Lin family had so many books that it was unimaginable. All kinds of rare books were enough to open a small library. Not to mention that there are also calligraphy and paintings of celebrities from various dynasties included in it.In the eyes of scholars, this room of things is more valuable than a room of gold and silver.

Now that Lin Hai said that he would leave this library to him, Mingxu felt his heart ache. Lin Hai treated him more than kindly. In some people's homes, the father and son who are connected by blood can't do this step. This is as heavy as a mountain. It is really difficult for him to repay Yuan's friendship.

Mingxu turned his head to look at Daiyu, Shibo couldn't let go of the little girl the most in his heart, if he can't repay him, he should report it to Sister Lin.

Lin Hai followed his gaze to look at Daiyu, "I will entrust Yu'er to you in the future. You are still young, so I won't say anything about supporting each other. Just one point. If you don't like Yu'er in the future, Don't treat her slowly, at least she is safe, and you can leave nothing else, but my Yu'er already has it, so I can't take it away." Lin Hai was a little serious.Zhongfu, heirs, and property are all secondary, as long as Yu'er is good.

"Remember Shibo's instructions, Xu will definitely treat my younger sister kindly." Ming Xu did not mention those flowers, and solemnly promised.

……

Since that day passed, Lin Hai has been in a coma for a longer period of time, and has been hanging with a ginseng. Occasionally, when he wakes up, his mind is already a little unconscious.

After hooking up for a few days, I finally returned to the west in my sleep on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The Lin Mansion was hung with white funeral banners overnight.

Sending off, reporting the funeral, encoffining, and keeping the spirit.When people die, the lights go out. This is the last ceremony.

Ming Xie is an elder teacher, not suitable for a director, and his status will easily cause unnecessary troubles.Therefore, Ming Xu endured his sorrow and Jia Lian greeted the guests who came to mourn. Fortunately, most of them were Lin Hai's colleagues and common people, with few relatives, and the old housekeeper Lin Rang helped, so it was more convenient to receive them.

Daiyu has been ill since Lin Hai left that day, but she stubbornly guards the mourning hall, refusing to rest, and Ming Xu can't persuade her, so she has to finish her work during the day and stay with her at night to watch the coffin.

It should be done according to the regulations, and it has already reached Lin Hai's first seven days. According to Lin Hai's last wish, there is no more coffin, and the funeral will be held on the seventh day.

After the matter was over, Jia Lian had already started preparations to return to Beijing, but the Lin family ushered in an imperial decree today.
