Daiyu's wife in the Red Chamber

Lin Ruhai has reached the point where his oil is exhausted, and he is not a stickler. He doesn't ask Wei Ruolan how to get this script, he just wants to know how much his daughter has suffered and suffered. , Did he die in tears as stated in the Dream of the Red Chamber and the verdict? He just wanted to arrange for his daughter as soon as possible within the limited time.

Wei Ruolan didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "My lord, please keep this matter a secret. If it hadn't been for accidental arrival on the ground in Yangzhou, and hearing about Miss Lin's filial behavior, and thinking about Miss Lin's tragic life, the younger generation might not be able to think of it." Pass the story book to the adults. After all, the stories in this story book are too unimaginable. This story book suddenly appeared in the younger generation's mind, it was the time when the younger generation was seriously ill, and this story book also appeared How did many things appear, this junior has not figured out until now, because this junior himself also appeared in the commentary of the script, and the ending was very bleak, so this junior only took it to heart."

Lin Ruhai couldn't help being very surprised, who wrote this script?Actually included all their stories?Could it be that later generations recorded this story after hearing it?Without time to think, Lin Ruhai quietly listened to Wei Ruolan's unfinished words.

"About the part behind the Dream of the Red Chamber, let me tell you the truth, the younger generation wrote about three times yesterday, and I have brought it here today. You may wish to take a look. If you want to read the follow-up, you have to wait for a while. However, the younger generation can tell the adults about the important things that happened later." Wei Ruolan handed Lin Ruhai the contents of the silent writing, and at the same time picked out a few important things to inform Lin Ruhai, of course it was about Daiyu.

Finally, he said slowly: "This script has no ending. It is said that the next thirty or forty chapters are lost, and there are only eighty chapters left. It doesn't matter if you don't read the forty chapters that will be supplemented by later generations. It contradicts what you said. However, based on some annotations between the lines in the first [-] chapters of the script, especially a commentary called Zhiyanzhai, we can know that Miss Lin’s fate can be determined in the first [-] chapters. Meng Xiao. These comments were not written in the script by the younger generation. In addition, there are many scholars’ analysis and guesses. Miss Lin died in sinking into the lake, and some people say that Miss Lin didn't want to be a concubine and died in depression."

Wei Ruolan was amazed by so many ways to die. At the same time, she secretly hated this master named Cao Xueqin. After finishing the masterpiece Dream of the Red Mansions, she did not keep the whole book. Otherwise, she could know her own destiny. is dead.When he sorted out his memory last night, he found that someone said that Shi Xiangyun did not marry him, but married Shui Rong, which is really funny. You must know that although King Beijing is not weak now, he already has a princess, and she is also Chen Yejun's sister. Princess Beijing appeared on her mother's birthday.

Lin Ruhai didn't sleep all night, his eyes were full of red threads, after hearing Wei Ruolan's words, the red threads were faintly ferocious, like fresh blood.

"As the verdict says, my little girl is a dead end? Is it true that wind, knife, frost, and sword are pressing against each other?" Lin Ruhai helped the coffee table to get up, his voice trembling, full of disbelief, seeing that Wei Ruolan didn't care Nodding hesitantly, he couldn't help but slumped back into the chair, "So, the Rongguo Mansion really failed my entrustment, causing the little girl to die alone."

Wei Ruolan heard the words and said curiously: "Many secret things in the storybook have not been detailed, especially the entrustment of Mr. Lin and the arrangement of things behind him, including the family business of the Lin family. I don't know what Mr. Lin originally planned. ?”

Some of the so-called Hongxue scholars analyzed the wealth of the Lin family, mainly because of the two or three million yuan in Jia Lian's mouth and Lin Ruhai's position; Lin Daiyu, the daughter of a guilty minister, took a nanny and a maid to seek refuge in Rongguo Mansion; some said that Lin Ruhai died because of court strife, and some said that Lin Ruhai hated Jia Min for having no children and neglected her daughter.All kinds of theories are simply varied, and each statement has its own basis.

Lin Ruhai is a dying person, and he still wants to get the next fifty chapters of Dream of Red Mansions from Wei Ruolan, so he naturally has nothing to hide about his original arrangement, "Because my daughter is a married woman, I have no children, and the Lin family has no children." The relatives in Wufu, after I go, she can only get half of the Lin family's property, and the other half should be returned to the state treasury. So I made an agreement with my mother-in-law, before I died, I wrote a letter to pour out half of the Lin family's financial resources to pay back nearly one million shortfalls for the Rongguo Mansion. Except for some of the remaining property that was handed over to the imperial court and distributed to the Pangzhi people, the rest is the dowry of the little girl, entrusted to their house, and will be returned to her after the little girl is married. My life is not long, but the little girl is only ten years old, and I cannot afford to take care of her She was married when she was an adult, and she was unable to support herself, so she had to entrust her to her mother-in-law and second brother-in-law. Baoyu has a gentle temperament since she was a child, and she treats her daughter very well, and she is also very willing to kiss her as a kiss."

After hearing such a big talk, Wei Ruolan was surprised and said: "Master Lin paid back the shortfall of one million silver for the Rongguo Mansion? But all the members of the Jia family in the storybook didn't mention it." It is very likely that Lin Ruhai did just that, and Yuan Chun's entitlement to the Jin Dynasty was also very likely because of this, rather than some informant about Qin Keqing's life experience.The fundamental reason why Lin Ruhai did this was for her daughter. I didn't expect that Jia's family didn't feel grateful or take good care of Daiyu. It was really heartless and ungrateful.

In the storybook, he once went to pay homage to Qin Keqing like Beijing Wang Shuirong, Chen Yejun, Feng Ziying and others, which seemed to show that Qin Keqing's status was very precious.But as far as he knew, there was nothing strange about Qin Keqing's identity. He went to pay homage to him because his family had a good relationship with the Jia family, and Qin Keqing was the daughter-in-law of the eldest son and grandson of Jia's family. He is an extremely honest fourth-rank official, his position is still higher than that of Jia Zheng, and his daughter is completely worthy of being the son of a third-rank general.

Lin Ruhai smiled wryly and said: "I originally wanted to solve the future troubles for the Rongguo Mansion. They will definitely treat the little girl kindly because of this friendship. In the future, when the little girl gets married with Baoyu, she doesn't have to worry about the crime of being short-lived. The little girl also has ten miles of red makeup that is not inferior to others. How could they know Instead of keeping my promise, I forced my daughter to death."

Wei Ruolan sighed, people die for money and birds die for food, the ancients never deceived anyone.

A gleam flashed in Lin Ruhai's eyes, and he said coldly: "Finally, God opened his eyes. Now that I see the scriptures sent by the young master, how can I arrange it like this? I will definitely arrange it properly, and I will never let it go." The little girl fell into the fate in the storybook, even if she was an immortal, she must repay the nectar with tears."

He didn't care if his daughter came down to earth from the Crimson Pearl Fairy, he only knew that it was his only blood.

Wei Ruolan didn't ask any further questions, and hurriedly said, "Master Lin, don't worry, this junior will definitely write down the contents of the back of the script and give it to Mr. Lin. At the same time, I will also ask Mr. Lin about my own future."

One of them is shrewd and resolute, the other is young and reckless. The old and the young were drawn closer by this sudden Dream of the Red Chamber. After consulting Wei Ruolan, Lin Ruhai simply organized a quiet, small and exquisite house in his own home. The courtyard came for him to live in, but it did not restrict him to go out every day to enjoy the wind and the moon, and visit the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

Wei Ruolan knew that Lin Ruhai was extremely talented, and whenever Lin Ruhai was free, he would respectfully ask for advice on how to study, how to behave, and how to live in the world.

He doesn't want to marry Shi Xiangyun, whether it's the separation of the two places or his untimely death, he doesn't want to fall into this situation, but since ancient times, it's the order of his parents and the words of the matchmaker. Keeping his own words in mind, he couldn't say that after the engagement, Shi Xiangyun would often live in Rongguo Mansion and mess around with Jia Baoyu without distinction between men and women?What's more, the high position and weight of the two historians in one family is indeed a good relationship in the eyes of others.

Lin Ruhai had already started tidying up the Lin family's property when he sent a letter to pick up Daiyu's home. Except for the fields of calligraphy, painting and books, he had already taken care of [-] to [-]% of the property in half a year. After learning of Daiyu's fate, he took advantage of his official position Four folds were connected to the capital.

One is to repay the more than [-] taels of silver borrowed from the treasury by his ancestors along with other officials' families; the other is to donate all the property of the Lin family to the court except the dowry of the Lin family's mistresses and the gifts of books, calligraphy and paintings accumulated from generation to generation. , used as military pay for two large armies in Guangdong, Hainan and southern Fujian to resist Japanese pirates. Please ask the imperial court to send someone to receive the escort. Send a new Yanke censor to take over and take care of the official duties of the yamen; the last thing is to beg today to allow him to seal up all the dowries of several generations of mistresses and entrust them to the household department, and get them back after the only daughter is engaged. Married and died, the property was donated to the imperial court for disaster relief and relief to the people, except for the booklet to repay the deficit for the Jia family.

Except for the first generation of the old Hou Ye and his wife who came from a poor family, Lin Ruhai's great-grandmother, grandmother, mother, and wife were all daughters of high-ranking families. They all had red makeup when they entered the door. The accumulated wealth was naturally passed on to the only son, and only Daiyu could inherit Jia Min's dowry and wealth, which was quite a lot, more than enough for her dowry.

Lin Ruhai considered that Jia Lian, who is now wandering in the brothel and Chu Pavilion after his death, would quietly bring him back to Rongguo Mansion just like in the storybook. The paper was all supplied by the mansion, and he had to live carefully in the Rongguo mansion, so Lin Ruhai wrote these few notes specially.Of course, he did not intend to let the Rongguo Mansion return empty-handed. He prepared a sum of 5 taels of silver for the Rongguo Mansion as Daiyu's food and clothing in the Rongguo Mansion.

Therefore, except for some official duties that the adjutants in the yamen cannot handle, Lin Ruhai usually has a lot of leisure. He used the excuse of arranging funeral affairs to deal with Jia Lian who sent Daiyu south, while giving advice to Wei Ruolan, teaching his only daughter, and inviting famous doctors Treat her to a health that is worse than at home after entering Beijing.

Daiyu came back from the temple last night to pray for blessings. Since she came home, she has been serving soup and medicine every day, and she is very filial.

Lin Ruhai felt that after he left, Daiyu would have nothing to rely on, and he had to teach her to protect herself.He originally thought that after Jia Minxian passed away, Daiyu would go to Beijing, and Mother Jia would definitely teach her about the education of her daughter in the boudoir, but there was no description of this in the scriptures, and Daiyu's family management ability was still the same as when she was young. Jia Min taught by precepts and deeds. Fortunately, she was born with wisdom, so she managed her room in an orderly manner. Except for the lotus official incident later, nothing messy happened.
