Red Mansions: No Tears

Chapter 20 Expose

?Lin Ruhai knew that he was not far away from the end of the oil lamp, so all the procedures were done quickly, from inviting Dow to discuss with her about the adoption, to sending people back to Suzhou to invite the patriarch and several people. In the end, Jia Lian, the elder, came forward to accompany the head of the Lin family back to change Lin Yu's name from the original branch to Lin Ruhai's. It took less than two months.

When the New Year's Eve was approaching, Lin Ruhai and Yan Lao, who was about to return to Jiang's house, had secret talks in the room several times, during which they called Jiang Ke and Jiang Xuan in several times to talk together. Jia Lian saw that everyone had secrets written on their faces. Two words, he was unavoidably curious, but he still didn't dare to ask more, because he already knew that the Jiang family was a family of merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, and whether he could make a lot of money from the few shops in Yangzhou in the future. I am afraid that he still has to rely on the assistance of the Jiang family in many ways, so even if he understands that what Lin Ruhai is planning may be completely different from what Jia's mother has always wanted, he has the right to pretend that he does not know about it and walk around the street twice a day I just went back to Lin's house.

One day after the New Year, Lin Ruhai called Lin Daiyu into the house, handed her a small wooden box, and said to her: "I have already given a quarter of our family property to the clan, and the other three quarters Half...I will give it to Jia Lian. In name, I will let him go back and hand it over to your grandmother for safekeeping. When you get married in the future, it will be your dowry, but...this is one-third of the remaining half. You hide it well, just in case, and I will give the rest to Brother Yu."

"Yu'er knows." Although Lin Daiyu didn't understand why Lin Ruhai knew that Jia's mother and others were not innocent, she still left most of her property to Rongguo's mansion. Maybe she doesn't have the so-called millions in the book, but it's enough to repay the favors she has received from Jia's family in the past and in the future, right?If those people come to talk to her about the grace of nurturing in the future, she will definitely ignore it.

"Our family still has a house in the capital city. I think that some old people in the family have no home to return to. It is better to let them live in the old house in the capital city and take care of the house by the way. After all, in the future you and brother Yu I always have to go home, and I can’t even have a few servants to take care of the daily life, besides, Housekeeper Lin and Nanny Wen will all go to Beijing, and with them looking after you, I have nothing to worry about.” Lin Ruhai spoke very slowly, and after finishing this series of words, his face became very pale and his breathing was very unstable.

"Daddy, let's rest for a while, Yu'er understands what you mean, don't worry, after getting along with my big brother for these days, I can see that big brother is indeed a very good person, think about it, he will definitely take good care of the family members in the future. Those old people who came down will not make them lonely and helpless." Lin Daiyu knew that Lin Ruhai also had great affection for the few servants who remained in the Lin family, and he was worried that she and Lin Yu would not know the benefits of these old people, so Taking advantage of this time, he explained a few more words emphatically.

In fact, there is no need for Lin Ruhai to remind, Lin Daiyu will also make good arrangements for the remaining servants. She has known the situation of all the servants of the Lin family before, so she knows that not all the people who are still staying in the Lin family have been serving the masters of the Lin family for generations. Having children, some of them were bought into the mansion from a young age, and I didn't know if I had any family members outside, and because when Lin Daiyu cleaned up those servants with dirty hands and feet, these people happened to be the ones she thought were worthy of trust. Those who can make good use of them in the future save them from the fate of being sold.

After Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu talked about themselves, they called Lin Yu and had a private conversation with him. What Lin Ruhai told Lin Yu mainly revealed an important matter that he and the Jiang family had already agreed on, which was The marriage between Lin Daiyu and Jiang Ke.

When Lin Yu heard the news that Lin Ruhai had promised Lin Daiyu to Jiang Ke, he could only be described as dumbfounded, because before that, he had secretly imagined many times in his heart that in case Jiamu insisted on taking the two jades When they were together, how should he solve this problem? He also thought very anxiously that he didn't know whether he could defeat the big boss of Jia Mu and the little boss of Jia Baoyu. He thought a lot, but never thought of Lin Ruhai. It will directly kill the possibility of that result.

Although Lin Yu was very surprised by this result, what surprised him even more was that Lin Ruhai's actions clearly showed that he did not trust the Jia family as much as he thought, and the result now is also very good, because it allows him to directly save money. A lot of troubles, you must know that he actually doesn't want to waste time on a certain group of abnormal people who can't understand human language at all.

Since Lin Ruhai, the person who has the most right to decide Lin Daiyu's life-long affairs more than anyone else, has made an agreement with Jiang's family and handed over all the letters proving their marriage contract to him, then no matter how much Jia's mother doesn't agree with her in the future, Willing to accept this fact, he and Lin Daiyu can use this letter to block Jia Mu, so that she can't use any excuse to overthrow Lin Ruhai's decision, unless of course she dares to disrespect Lin Daiyu's reputation, or Jiang Ke himself didn't live up to his expectations, and Jia's family took advantage of his death, which is naturally another matter.

But looking at it from another angle, the Jia family, from the top to the mother of Jia to the servants of the Hefu, seems to have long believed that Jia Baoyu is the future mainstay of the Rongguo Mansion. Just for this point, Jiamu should...not be overwhelmed Let Jia Baoyu marry a notorious housewife?Even if Jia's mother agrees due to some factors, the Wang family who wants to save face may not agree. If the pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fight in a ring, the split of the former alliance between wood and stone will be the inevitable end, so after careful consideration, this A layer of concerns can be omitted.

As for the second possibility, according to Lin Yu's understanding of Jiang Monster over the years, he can be sure that Jiang Ke has never been the kind of person who would kill himself, and few children from big families are really serious. He is so innocent and kind, even a son like Jiang Ke who seems to have been spoiled since he was a child, is actually not as gentle and harmless as everyone sees on the surface. To put it bluntly, he is black-bellied! !He dared to say that Jiang Ke definitely knew what the people in the Jia family were up to, and he didn't say anything for the time being because they hadn't offended him yet. It's on fire...then...hehe!

Lin Yu wasn't sure if Jiang Ke really liked Lin Daiyu, or if he just agreed to the marriage because of Lin Ruhai's face, although in ancient society, it was very common for a husband to be many years older than his wife for various reasons It is common, but it is also based on the fact that the man is very old and knows how to cherish his little wife.

But Jiang Ke himself is considered a half-grown child, and because everyone in the Jiang family knows that he will definitely take the road of scientific examination and official career in the future, the wife of the Jiang family has never arranged any room for his son, fearing that he will So I was distracted, and then I knew...Jiang Ke has grown so big, but he is actually...cough! !After thinking about it for many days, Lin Yu had to admit that he really couldn't guess what the answer was for such a young man who was never close to women, and he couldn't help but worry that such Jiang Ke really knew how Do you love the fragile sister Lin?Even now Lin Daiyu doesn't seem to be as fragile as imagined in his eyes...

When spring was approaching, Lin Ruhai was finally free from illness and passed away. Jia Lian thought he had obtained most of the Lin family's property, and thought that he would be able to account for it after returning to Beijing, so he also did a great job in assisting Lin Yu with Lin Ruhai's funeral. Do your best.

The official who took over Lin Ruhai's position had arrived years ago, and he was a descendant of a family surnamed Xie, from the capital city. Although the status of the Xie family in the capital city was not among the four kings and eight princes, in truth, it was Not much less than them, according to the information revealed by Mr. Xie himself, it seems that he had a very deep friendship with Lin Ruhai when he was young. Therefore, after Lin Ruhai's death, those dealings in Yangzhou's official circles were all thanks to his help. It didn't ruin the reputation of the Lin family, and after a few days, Mr. Xie also recognized Lin Yu's performance very much, and he couldn't help but praise him in private: Lin Ruhai has a good eye for people, but he really found a very good one for himself. A good heir, with this boy in the future, are you afraid that the Lin family will not be able to carry forward?Even when Lin Yu and Lin Daiyu were about to send the coffin back to Suzhou, he promised that if Lin Yu went to the capital, if he needed help with anything, he could go to Xie's house in the capital for help. He had already written a letter back to Beijing To my elder brothers, let them have the opportunity to take care of their brothers and sisters.

After Lin Ruhai was buried, Lin Daiyu knelt and stood alone in front of the mourning hall for several days in a row. Love, she couldn't help but regret why she decided not to save her father's life in the first place?Even though she had learned from Old Yan that Lin Ruhai had been deeply poisoned and there was no cure for it, she still felt very guilty in her heart.

"Sister, don't be sad. If you think about it, father won't let you torment your body like this." Lin Yu has been with Lin Daiyu for the past few days, so she can see Lin Daiyu's little girl who heard the mother said that it was hard for her to raise flesh. His face lost more than half of his weight, so he gave some distressed persuasion.

"Brother, don't worry about me, I've only been crying for a few days...I've cried enough, and I won't cry anymore." Lin Daiyu looked back at Lin Yu, and shook her head with sobs in her voice.

"How could it be possible to never cry again? Didn't you say that you still cry when you come down to earth? Jia Baoyu is not here now..." Lin Yu scratched his head and murmured subconsciously.

"What did brother say?! What does it have to do with Baoyu whether I cry or not?" Lin Daiyu immediately felt her heart beat uncontrollably faster when she heard this, but she asked with a forced frown on her face.

"No! No! I didn't say anything, you can cry as long as you cry, as long as you don't... Hey! I really am!" Halfway through Lin Yu's speech, he realized that he had said the wrong thing again, so he slapped himself quickly, and then he was frustrated lowered his head.

"Brother is probably talking nonsense because he was lost for a while because he was sad?" Although Lin Daiyu also lowered her head and silently gave Lin Yu a step down, she was already sure that Lin Yu was just like her. The people who traveled here in this world just didn't know that Lin Yu agreed to adopt Lin Ruhai's name at the beginning, was it because of the Lin family's property?

It's no wonder Lin Daiyu made such a guess. Few people who are familiar with the plot of A Dream of Red Mansions don't know that Lin Ruhai's property is extremely rich. Now that the major event has been decided, even if she knew that Lin Yu's purpose in agreeing to recognize Lin Ruhai as her father was impure, she could not change the result. Fortunately, from Lin Yu's performance in the past few months, it can be seen that he is not some kind of person who wants to leave with all his heart. People who breed, horse, road, and line may not be able to rely on one or two in the future. ?
