Daiyu's wife in the Red Chamber

Everything was arranged properly, and Lin Ruhai's wish came true. On the night of August 27th, she smiled at Jiuquan, her face was calm and serene. Perhaps it was because of all the hard work these days that Lin Ruhai passed away a few days earlier.

Recently, Jia Lian asked Lin Ruhai many questions and got detailed answers. Then he got 1 taels of silver from Lin Ruhai privately and entrusted him to take care of Daiyu. At the same time, Daiyu packed her bags and sent Lin Ruhai's coffin back to Suzhou for burial, she did her best.Fortunately, Lin Ruhai had already dealt with the family business, and Jia Lian didn't have to deal with these trivial matters, which made it much easier.

After Wei Ruolan returned to Beijing, he first went back to the mansion to pay respects to his grandmother and parents, and then quietly settled the large number of things he brought. In the capital, he also had a few shops left by his mother. After finishing the care, it was the day of Qin Keqing's funeral. .

At this time, Wei Ruolan discovered another contradiction in the Dream of the Red Chamber. When the Dream of the Red Chamber wrote about Qin Keqing's funeral, it clearly stated that Jia Lian and Daiyu died on the way south. The funeral took place on July 49. However, when Sister Feng was attending the funeral, Jia Lian's servant, Zhao'er, returned to Beijing and said that Lin Ruhai died on the third day of September and sent his spirit to Suzhou to come back at the end of the year. From this point of view, there seems to be a gap between Qin Keqing's funeral and his death. A year, not 49 days.

He asked people to inquire carefully, and found out that Qin Keqing died on the first day of September, and the servant who came back to report Lin Ruhai's funeral to Sister Feng was not Zhao'er from the Dream of the Red Chamber, but another servant named Long'er, Zhao'er came up Been back for a month.

Knowing that Lin Ruhai died on August 27, Wei Ruolan was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but sigh sadly.

Han Qi, son of Marquis of Jinxiang, Feng Ziying, son of General Shenwu, and Chen Yejun walked with Wei Ruolan at the funeral, and stayed together when they rested. Seeing him in such a state, they became curious and laughed together: "Ruolan , What’s the matter with you? Ever since Jiangnan came back, you’ve been looking unhappy. Could it be that something happened to you in Jiangnan? Let’s hear it, and we’ll give you an idea.”

Wei Ruolan sighed: "I was in the south of the Yangtze River for a few months, passing through Yangzhou, and occasionally got some advice from Mr. Lin, the censor of the salt department. It can be regarded as a teacher and a student. I heard that the old man passed away, and only one daughter died. Can’t help feeling sad.”

Han Qidao: "It turned out to be this matter. Mr. Lin is a good man with both loyalty and integrity. Before he died, he donated his family's belongings to the imperial court as military pay in southern Fujian, Guangdong and Haizhou. It was originally my uncle who was ordered to do it himself. With the help of Mr. Lin, I quickly bought a lot of food and clothing and sent them to southern Fujian, Guangdong and Haizhou, so I know the details. When the news spread, there was a sensation in the court. First, Prince Zhongshun took the lead in donating 5 taels of silver, followed by Prince Jing He donated 3 taels, and other honorable families donated more or less. In this way, millions of silver were raised. The three-year salary of the northern Xinjiang soldiers was enough. Afterwards, I don’t know how many people remembered Master Lin’s benefits! "

After ascending the throne today, the methods are vigorous and vigorous, and many descendants of noble families in the capital are sent to guard various fortresses. This large sum of money from the Lin family saved the lives of countless soldiers, and at the same time, because his descendants were all at the border, no one dared to take advantage of this sum of money.

Feng Ziying nodded and said: "Naturally, even my father remembers Master Lin's kindness. Master Lin's actions have relieved millions of soldiers from suffering from hunger and cold for several years, and have also contributed to the charitable act of princes and nobles donating money. Listen to my father He said that when the news of Master Lin's passing away came, many officials came forward to ask for a posthumous title for Master Lin when the court was in power. How many people can get the posthumous titles proposed by the saints?"

Compared to Han Qi, Feng Ziying and Chen Yejun, Wei Ruolan didn't know much about the trends in the court because he didn't like his father. Although his grandmother loved him, the women in the house didn't know much about these things, so Wei Ruolan Didn't know anything about it.

After hearing what Han Qi and Wei Ruolan said, Wei Ruolan asked them a few more words, and heard that Daiyu had received grace, and was very happy for her. She was named the head of the county, and she could be regarded as a member of the royal family. The Rongguo Mansion couldn't bully her. Lin Ruhai's actions made many people transfer their gratitude to Daiyu to Daiyu. The general's family is so bold and chivalrous, so they will naturally take care of Daiyu a little bit.As long as Daiyu herself is not a weak and incompetent person, she will not end up in such a miserable end as in the Dream of the Red Chamber. Besides, from what he saw in the Dream of the Red Chamber, Daiyu is indeed a smart and wise person, and she is also very sophisticated, but she just disdains it Sophisticated.

Feng Ziying didn't know what to think of, and suddenly laughed.

Wei Ruolan looked puzzled and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"I laughed at Master Lin's actions, which made the Rongguo Mansion's idea come to naught." Feng Ziying was all smiles, and seeing Han Qi and Chen Yejun's puzzled faces, she explained: "You know that my family and the Jia family have more contacts. Be closer, Baoyu and his aunt and cousin named Xue Pan and I often hang out together, so I know a lot about their family. Jia Lian sent County Master Lin south and didn't come back for more than half a year. Anyone who is well-informed doesn't know what the plan was in private? For the dowry of the mistress, County Master Lin can at least inherit half of the Lin family's wealth. With the connection between the Jia family and the Zhen family, it will be easy to inherit 5% to [-]% of the family's wealth. Will it not fall into the hands of the Jia family? Originally, many people speculated about the Jia family in this way, and they were full of unspeakable envy. Who would have thought that Master Lin would make such a move before his death, donating the family property, sealing up the dowry, and leaving [-] taels of silver to the Rongguo Mansion for the forest. It is obvious that the county lord's food and clothing before she got married cannot be trusted by the Rongguo Mansion, and many people are waiting to see the jokes of the Jia family."

Han Qi and Chen Yejun laughed and said in a low voice: "No one in the Jia family went to court, so they don't know what Mr. Lin did? If they knew, it would be a catastrophe. How could there be such a lively scene?" Do the funeral."

After hearing this, Wei Ruolan also looked at Feng Ziying.

I saw him taking a sip of tea with a smile, and then said: "My father said, those officials are really narrow-minded. Many people in the capital know about these things. For the Jia family, no one in their family is going to court, there is only one political master who works as a foreigner in the Ministry of Industry, and the orders in the mansion usually do not socialize with others."

In the Rongguo Mansion, the highest orders are Jia Mu and Jia She's wife, Mrs. Xing. Jia's mother doesn't like to go out when she is too old. No one in the Jia family thinks that she is the head of the house. Madame and Sister Feng are at the fifth rank, and the latter is still in vain. Except for the four princes and eight princes, who will walk with them?Even the families of princes and dukes who have contacts, no one mentioned these things to them. After all, to the Rongguo Mansion, Lin Ruhai's actions seemed to slap them in the face, and it was a joke to say it face to face.

Wei Ruolan felt very relieved, because the Jia family in Dream of Red Mansions was really deceiving people too much. They spent Miss Lin's family property and forced people to die.

When it was time to rest at night, Wei Ruolan started worrying about herself instead.

Daiyu's fate is very different from that in the Dream of the Red Chamber, but he still can't get rid of the Shi family's marriage. After he returned to Beijing, he found that his stepmother and Mrs. Shi Nai became more and more intimate, and Mrs. Shi Nai even brought Shi Xiangyun to visit his grandmother!

Unlike myself who has seen Shi Xiangyun's other side of his temperament after watching Dream of Red Mansions, other people, including his grandmother, think that although Shi Xiangyun has no parents since childhood, under the guidance of his uncle and aunt, he is broad-minded, sharp and flexible, and his literary talents are very good. There is a famous celebrity who is very satisfied with this marriage, and waits for him to come to propose marriage after returning to Beijing.If it wasn't for Qin Keqing's sudden death, the Ningguo Mansion held a big funeral, and the historians were extremely busy, the marriage would probably be settled at this time.

Compared with the younger brother born to the stepmother, the grandmother really loves herself very much, because the younger brother is ordinary-looking, but she is extremely beautiful and heroic.However, her old man also loves her son. She is separated from her by a generation and will not get involved in her marriage, and she doesn't want to use the method of tarnishing Shi Xiangyun's reputation to get rid of this marriage. If he is used, he will become someone .

After Wei Ruolan meditated, she felt that her internal strength had improved again, so she decided to use the first tactic to try out one or two.

The Jia family's ancestral grave is in Jinling, Qin Keqing's funeral was not buried directly, but his coffin was stored in Tiekan Temple. After the funeral was delivered the next day, Wei Ruolan bid farewell to Feng Ziying and others, and rode away to the Muni courtyard. Find Jinghui, an old nun trusted by Mrs. Wei.

It is said that Mrs. Wei trusts the person, but it is better to say that she is the contact left by Wei Ruolan's biological mother.

Jinghui is from Jinling, she is the daughter of a scholar, but she is married to someone else.After her husband became prosperous, in order to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official, he sent her a letter of divorce before returning to his hometown.If this is the case, it’s fine, but this guy is afraid that Jinghui will remarry, or speak nonsense and slander himself outside, so he even persuaded Jinghui’s parents, brother and sister-in-law in the name of apologizing for the embarrassment of an abandoned woman, in order to protect his daughter Because of her reputation, Jinghui's parents wanted to strangle her with a rope, pretending to hang herself.

When she was on the verge of death, Jing Hui suddenly developed infinite strength, broke free and fled outside. It happened that Chen Shi, who was only eight years old, met her parents and elder brother when they were playing in the south of the Yangtze River, and extended a helping hand to her.

After Jinghui was rescued, she was disheartened. If she didn’t marry, she would have to bear the hatred of her parents, brother and sister-in-law. If she remarried, she might meet someone like her ex-husband again. So she shaved her hair and became a nun. .She encountered the most tragic thing in the world, saw through the world of mortals and people's hearts, practiced for a long time, and became more and more famous. Later, she heard that Mrs. Wei died of dystocia after getting married. At the age of 40, she entered the capital and lived in Muniyuan. Now in his fifties, he has become Mrs. Wei's most trusted teacher by virtue of his profound Buddhist teachings.

Wei Ruolan just begged her to tell her grandmother and stepmother that she was destined not to marry early, and then told Mrs. Wei that she and Shi Xiangyun were a match made in heaven. Most of the family wealth is his own and so on.Mrs. Wei wanted her son to inherit the title, so maybe she would be shaken.
