The Five Girls of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

The relationship between Lin Jing and Lin Daiyu can't be said to be very good, but now Lin Ruhai is raising her, and Daiyu is his daughter. Seeing Lin Ruhai's face, she will not bully her no matter what, not to mention, in Lin Jing's eyes Well, Daiyu is nothing more than a piece of fairy grass, and she is no higher than her level, so she looks down on the appearance of crying every day, why can't I just say something, if I have to cry first, it's like It seemed like someone bullied her, which really gave Lin Jing some headaches, so she often lost her temper because of her crying.

Therefore, when Lin Ruhai sent someone to look for the two of them, Lin Jing felt a little guilty. Although she thought she was right, Lianrui was right, after all, Daiyu was the lady of the Lin family , and I am just a sojourner, how can a guest lady bully a decent lady?

Lin Jing glanced at Lin Ruhai as soon as she entered the door. He was half leaning on the bed. Although he looked sick, he looked very good, as if he was lifeless. Lin Jing felt relieved a little, she sighed softly, Then I greeted Lin Ruhai together with Daiyu.

"Get up, don't be too polite." Lin Ruhai raised his hand, his fingers were trembling, obviously he was trying to bear it.

Lin Daiyu's eyes were a little red, but she didn't cry, she said: "Father, just ask the housekeeper to tell you what to do. How can you pay it back? Can you still bear it?" While speaking, she walked to Lin Ruhai's side, took some pillows and thought about it. Put it behind Lin Ruhai.

Lin Jing walked to Daiyu's side, silently helped her to support Lin Ruhai, and then walked back again.

With a smile on Lin Ruhai's face, he raised his hands to signal the two of them not to be too busy, and then said: "You have also seen that I am afraid that my body is useless, but I have failed my cousin's entrustment." Finally These words were addressed to Lin Jing.

"I don't let you down." Lin Jing pursed her lips and said, "For more than half a year, my cousin has thought about Jing'er in everything, and there is nothing incomprehensible. If my mother has thought about it, I must be grateful to my cousin." She said After glancing at Daiyu, she knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Ruhai after all, and said, "I kowtow to my cousin because of sister Daiyu." She frowned, but still looked at Daiyu, and said seriously, "It's not because I don't like sister Daiyu, so I reprimand her from time to time, it's just because I have a quick temper, and I feel a little anxious when I see her crying and hurting her body, so..."

"Sister, don't talk too much, how can my younger sister not know?" Daiyu said quickly, her eyes were still a little red and swollen, "My younger sister also saves me from doing this, but every time I see my father like this, I can't help it. "

Lin Ruhai took Daiyu's hand, patted it comfortingly, and then looked at Lin Jing and said, "It doesn't have to be like this, you are doing it for Daiyu's good, so I don't know." He looked at Daiyu and sighed softly In a low tone, he said: "Daiyu has been weak since her mother's womb, and she has been in poor health since she was a child. Although she is intelligent, she is naturally sensitive. She was sent to her ancestors' homes in Beijing and abroad at a young age, so she has become more cautious." Lin Ruhai Sighing lightly, "I'm most worried about her."

Daiyu's lips moved slightly, with tears in her eyes, she said tremblingly, "Father..."

Lin Jing was a little puzzled, she tilted her head and said, "Isn't Jingzhong my sister's maternal ancestral home? Since we are relatives, can I be wronged?" Why did she look at Lin Ruhai and Daiyu's expressions? What's the matter.

"Of course I won't suffer any grievances." Lin Ruhai sighed softly, "It's just that my daughter has such a temperament, how can this father not know? Her grandmother was very kind to her, but her grandfather After all, her home is the Duke's Mansion, and Daiyu is naturally sensitive and worrying, so even if the girl next to her says something, she will be sad for a long time." Lin Ruhai held Daiyu's hand, looking extremely worried.

Lin Jing frowned, and said, "What uncle means is..."

Lin Ruhai held Daiyu's hand, looked at Lin Jing, and said, "Since your mother entrusted you to my care, I'm just ashamed. I'm afraid my body won't be useful, and I'm ashamed of trusting your mother." Lin Ruhai shook his head and sighed, "While I'm still awake, I have to settle you properly so that I can feel at ease."

"I want you to go to Beijing with Daiyu, are you willing?" Lin Ruhai asked softly.

Naturally, Lin Jing was not unwilling, Lian Rui was very worried about her going to Beijing.

When Lin Ruhai saw her agreeing, a smile appeared on his face. After a while, he smiled wryly, and said, "It's actually my cousin's selfishness." He looked at Lin Jing, took Daiyu's hand, and said, "My cousin just wants to, If you can help your little sister in the future, it will be my wish." As he spoke, he motioned to the butler who had been standing beside him, and saw him bring a mahogany box over, and opened it without looking at it. After that, it was a thick stack of banknotes.

"This is a silver note of 500 million taels, and now it will be divided among you sisters." After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, there was a sharp cough.

"Father!" Daiyu didn't look at those banknotes, but Lin Jing was a little surprised. There were quite a lot of banknotes. She didn't expect that Lin Ruhai looked inconspicuous on the surface, but just the silver in his hand You can come up with 500 million taels for a ticket. It's really tight to be rich. No wonder it is said that the inspector of salt and censors is fat and short. If you think about it, he has been re-elected for a few years, not counting other things. , Bingjing, Jiejing, birthday celebrations and other regular money, after years of accumulation, it is also a jaw-dropping figure.

Although Zhao's money left to her is not as much as Lin Ruhai's, but Zhao's dowry has consumed a lot over the years, and there are many things that were originally belongings of the big family and cannot be sold, but it is still enough for her to live comfortably It's been a lifetime.

"Cousin, I don't want this money." Lin Jing said with a straight face, "Leave it all to sister Daiyu."

Lin Ruhai waved his hands, smiled wryly, and said, "If you weren't here, I wouldn't have left the money to Daiyu, after all, she couldn't keep the money, so she left the money to Lian'er. For the sake of the money, I will not make it difficult for Daiyu." Lin Ruhai looked a little tired, and he said: "But you are different, you have a strong temper, and you have fists and feet, and ordinary people may not be able to bully you. Bring it yourself, and when you arrive in Beijing, give some to the old lady, and take all the daily expenses as your own, so that no one dares to use your identity to talk about it." See Lin Jing frowned, and Lin Ruhai said again: "Only this amount of money is huge, and the money touches people's hearts. It is inevitable that some people will be jealous and do something that is not good for you. Don't let others save you."

"Jing'er understands." Lin Jing replied, but shook her head and said: "My uncle's meaning is that I should not take the money. You left it for sister Daiyu, so it should all be sister Daiyu. Seeing what Lin Ruhai wanted to say, Lin Jing said again: "No one can take away from me what my mother left me, and let others do it for me. The money was left by my uncle for Daiyu's younger sister. Yes, I won't take advantage of it either."

Lin Jing is proud, she doesn't care about other people's things, even if it is a huge sum of money, to Lin Jing, it is nothing.

Lin Ruhai wanted to say something, but she heard Daiyu say: "Sister, take it." She frowned slightly, and said: "In the future, I will live and eat in Jia's mansion, and even the maids who serve me will be It's someone close to the old lady, and I can't keep this banknote by my side, only my sister holds it, so my father can feel at ease." After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Ruhai, but obediently stopped talking.

Lin Jing took a look at Daiyu, and seeing that she was telling the truth, she pursed her lips and said, "You don't have to worry, since I have accepted my cousin's duty to take care of you, I won't let you be bullied." Looking at Daiyu, he said, "It's just that the banknote belongs to my sister, so I won't take it."

Lin Ruhai smiled wryly, and said, "Just pretend that you keep it for Daiyu." Then he asked Daiyu to hand over the mahogany box to her.

Lin Jing was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at Lin Ruhai, and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will steal so much money?"

"I believe you." Lin Ruhai just looked at her and said softly.

Lin Jing sneered, looked at Lin Ruhai, and said, "You've only known me for half a year, why do you believe me?" She shook her head, but raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "But I like what you say After finishing speaking, she picked up the box and shook it, and said: "I, Lin Jing, never tell lies, and I will do what I promise, just because of your trust that I don't know where, as long as I'm not dead, so I won't let sister Daiyu be wronged."

Lin Jing finally helped Daiyu put away the banknotes. Lin Ruhai watched the two of them leave and sighed softly. The butler asked suspiciously: "Why does the master need the cousin to intervene?"

Lin Ruhai knew what he wanted to ask, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Who else could there be besides her? It's not like you don't understand Daiyu's temperament. Even if you leave all the money to her, she is a girl. How can I keep it?" He sighed softly, and then said: "I am still selfish after all, although this money can protect Daiyu, it is most likely to cause endless troubles, and may even lose her life, so this money , can’t let Daiyu hold it.”

"The second master Lian..."

"Let Lian'er take the 10 taels. Lian'er needs to arrange the funeral and send the spirit back to Suzhou, so please trouble him." Lin Ruhai sighed softly.

"It's just that in this way, I'm afraid Second Master Lian won't be willing to take this trip in vain." The butler frowned and couldn't help saying.

Lin Ruhai snorted, with an ugly expression on his face, and said, "What else can he do? What else can he do with 10 taels of silver?" He also knew that what the housekeeper said was reasonable, so he was silent for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "When you arrive in Beijing, you Jing'er Give their daily expenses to the old lady, everyone will understand..."

The butler sighed softly, and said: "Master, I really have to worry about the eldest girl." If the master has a son, why bother so much.

After all, Lin Ruhai did not make it through the fall of this year. He passed away on the third day of September. Jia Lian took Lin Jing and Daiyu to send the spirit to Suzhou. Daiyu lost a lot of weight. After Lin Ruhai was buried, she Lin Jing was not crying, which made Lin Jing, who was almost pissed off by her crying, slowly relieved.

She looked at Lin Daiyu and said, "I will be your sister from now on, and I will take care of you." Seeing Lin Daiyu nodding, Lin Jing led her to kowtow to Lin Ruhai a few more times before leaving.

The group finally arrived in Beijing at the end of the year.
