Daiyu of Red Mansions Rebirth

It took more than a month to travel by water from Yangzhou to the capital.

In midsummer, the willows on both sides of the canal are lingering, and the breeze blows, and the fragrant air blows to the face.The three big boats slowly arrived at the ferry, first came down a group of male servants, followed by a dozen women, and then a gentle and refined man helped a woman to disembark, followed by two well-behaved men and a woman The clever child is the Lin Ruhai family who came all the way from Yangzhou City.

When they landed, the steward of the Lin family's house in Beijing sent a chariot to pick him up.

Lin Ruhai went first on horseback, Jia Min took Daiyu and Shengyu into a Zhulun canopy cart, followed by the cart in which the girl and woman were sitting, and a cart pulling luggage.Lin Ruhai was ordered by the emperor to reappear, and did not return to the mansion, but went directly to the emperor, while Jia Min brought Daiyu and his brother into the mansion in Beijing.

The house of the Lin Mansion in the capital city was originally built by Lin Ruhai's grandfather when he was an official in the capital, and it is complete with pavilions, towers and pavilions.Lin Ruhai had been away from Beijing for a few years, and there were only a few old people who looked after the house. The courtyard had not been lived in for a long time, so it was deserted.Before entering Beijing, Lin Ruhai specially ordered someone to clean it up, and now it looks clean.Although it is not as grand as Jia's Mansion, it is exquisite and unique, revealing a sense of aura. It has a Jiangnan rural style, which Lin Daiyu likes very much.

Jia Min had already chosen a yard for Daiyu. It was not big, but it was very quiet. Daiyu liked the few poles of bamboo and the red-crowned crane in the yard the most.

"This place is very good, thank you mother." Lin Daiyu walked around the yard, the more she looked at it, the more she fell in love with it, lingered for a while, and said to herself: "Such a good place needs an extremely unique and elegant name to be worthy of it." ..." Just couldn't think of what to call it for a while, so he frowned and paced back and forth in thought, Jia Min shook his head amusedly, and went to arrange other things by himself.The maids were also busy moving things in and out, but Daiyu was still wandering, lost in thought in front of the bamboo grove, nodding her head, shaking her head, and muttering to herself.

She was twisting the veil in her hands, and when she raised her eyes, she suddenly saw the sky in front of the bamboo forest piled up with white clouds, as clean and flawless as snow.A few poles of bamboo stand tall, as if reaching straight into the sky.Couldn't help but have an idea, and said happily: "Green bamboos are planted against the clouds, why not call them Zhuyunxuan!"

"Okay, that's it!" She repeated as if making up her mind.

"Girl, what's up, what's the matter?" Cuizhu happened to come over and heard it, and asked with a smile.

Lin Daiyu waved her hands and said: "Don't ask, you go and prepare your pen and ink, I want to put up a plaque for this courtyard, go quickly!"

Cui Zhu hurriedly handed the dowry she was holding to Xue Yan, and prepared to write by herself.Lin Daiyu wrote the three characters "Zhuyunxuan", but at this time she was too young and her wrist strength was insufficient, it seemed that she was always lacking strength, even after writing a few pages, she stopped her hand in discouragement, He intends to hand over this arduous task to his father.Of course, for Lin Ruhai, this was nothing more than a piece of cake.

Lin's family is Shilu's family, basically in the capital, and has many family friends. That night, Jia Min packed gifts and soil rituals, and asked someone to send a letter to her natal family, saying that everything is going well and don't worry about it.

……

Early the next morning, Lin Ruhai visited the Yue family with his wife and children.

Jia Min's natal family is the Rongguo Mansion in Beijing, and now her mother is still alive, and she has two older brothers, the elder brother is named Jia She, and the second brother is Jia Zheng.Jia Amnesty had a son named Jia Lian and a daughter named Jia Yingchun from a concubine.Jia Zheng had three sons and two daughters. Among them, the eldest son Jia Zhu, the eldest daughter Jia Yuanchun, the second son Jia Baoyu were the concubines of Mrs. Wang, and Jia Tanchun and Jia Huan were concubines.Among the brothers and sisters, Jia Baoyu is the most loved by Jia's mother. Although he is a man, he is kept in the inner curtain and often hangs out with his daughter.I don't read very much every day, and only sisters and sisters call after girls, and outsiders only listen to it as a joke.

When Lin Ruhai arrived at the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian had already personally greeted him outside the door, and invited him to the main courtyard respectfully.

When Jia's mother saw Jia Min, she called "Min'er" with tears in her eyes, and when she saw Daiyu's sister and brother, she put her arms around her and called "Yu'er" and "Cheng'er", laughing until her face was wrinkled and trembling.When Lin Ruhai saw Jia Mu, he went outside to be entertained by Jia Zheng, Jia She and other children, while Jia Min chatted with Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing Wang and the other female relatives.She has been away from Beijing for many years, away from her parents and relatives, and once they meet each other, she has countless things to say.

When the Yingchun sisters came to visit, Jia Min hurriedly gave them a copy of the prepared gifts.For some reason, Jia Huan came late. Seeing Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng frowning, she was so frightened that she couldn't walk and almost fell to the ground.

"Is this Huan'er?" Jia Min has already made a good guess. Although Baoyu is not much older than Jia Huan, it is easy to recognize a child at this age, even one or two years away.It is said that Baoyu was born with a piece of beautiful jade in his mouth, so he never leaves his body with the jade. If this child has no jade, he can only be Huan'er if he thinks about it.I heard that Huan'er was not taken seriously, but I didn't expect to be ignored to such an extent.Thinking of this, I can't help but feel sad, why my sister-in-law is getting more and more confused, don't care about the concubines, they are all children of my own family, if Huan'er has a future, it will not be the lintel of the Jia family who will shine?Wasn't she, the aunt, the one who granted the imperial edict to enjoy the honor?

Mrs. Wang frowned even more, and said to Jia Huan, "I'll see your aunt soon!"

Jia Min also smiled and waved: "Huan'er, come here, Auntie has something for you!"

"Really?" Jia Huan's eyes widened, obviously very interested, "Aunt really gave me something?"

"Naturally." Jia Min said, beckoning the girl to send the prepared gift, then took Jia Huan's hand and asked some questions, telling him to study hard and so on.After looking at it for a long time, Jia Baoyu was not seen, so he couldn't help asking: "Mother, why don't you see Baoyu?"

When Jia Baoyu was mentioned, Mother Jia couldn't help but smile, "He went for a stroll early in the morning and said he came back before lunch."

As I was talking, there was a commotion outside, and the servant girl reported, "Baoyu is back!" Jia Mu said with a smile, "It's just in time for you to come back, so bring it here to meet the distant guest!" The maid hurriedly went out and shouted, "Second Master Bao, hurry up!" Come in, my aunt just came and was talking about you?"

Lin Daiyu could only hear Jia Baoyu asking outside, "When did my aunt arrive? I heard that there is another younger sister. I wonder if she is here?" She recognized Baoyu's voice. No more infatuation, but this voice will never be forgotten.

"Miss Lin is also inside." The servant girl said.

Following the sound of hurried footsteps, Jia Baoyu rushed in, shouting, "Old Ancestor, where is my sister?" Jia Mu purposely scolded her face and said, "There are no rules, and I will see your aunt soon!"

Jia Baoyu stuck out his tongue, bowed hurriedly, and said, "Greetings to the ancestors!" Then to Jia Min, "Greetings to Auntie!" Beside Jia Min, his brows were frowning, and he was naturally romantic, which he had never seen before, and the sisters in the family couldn't compare, so he couldn't help but stared at Daiyu stupidly.Daiyu tugged on Jia Min's sleeve lightly, and the latter held Daiyu in his arms with an unhappy expression on his face.

Mrs. Wang's complexion was also not good. Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes, looked at everyone secretly, pushed Jia Baoyu's arm, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, Brother Bao? Are you stupid?" Baoyu said "ah". , just came back to his senses, and leaned over, lying in Jia Mu's arms and acting like a baby, "Old ancestor, I have seen this sister before."

"Nonsense again, your sister hasn't been in the capital since she was a child, how have you ever seen her?"

"Although I haven't seen it before, but I look at Mian Shan, now it's just a reunion after a long absence, wouldn't it be good?"

Mother Jia rubbed him with a smile and said, "This is even better."

At this time, Lin Shengyu suddenly stood up and gave Jia Baoyu a bow, saying, "I've seen my cousin!"

"Who are you?" Jia Baoyu raised his head from Jia's mother's arms, glanced at Shengyu, raised his chin, frowned, thought for a long time before he slapped on the kang table suddenly, raised his eyebrows and eyes, as if he had suddenly realized that he was pointing Shengyu, "Are you my aunt's son, my cousin?"

"It's Shengyu." Lin Shengyu nodded.

"Do you have jade?"

As soon as Lin Daiyu heard Jia Baoyu's question, she knew something was wrong, and was about to cover up for her younger brother, but it was too late, and Shengyu had already returned.Just like in her memory, Jia Baoyu suddenly went crazy, threw the jade, jumped up and shouted: "Everyone doesn't have it, but I have it. What do you mean! I don't want this trouble, it's getting more and more broken." It's clean!" The jade fell to the ground with a crisp crashing sound.All the maids were frightened and rushed to pick it up. Fortunately, the jade was hard enough and did not break into pieces.Jia Mu was so angry that she scolded the maid and coaxed Jia Baoyu for a long time.

After lunch, Jia Min took Daiyu's siblings back home, but Jia's mother couldn't stay and had to give up.

After sending Lin Daiyu and brother back to rest, Jia Min sat alone by the window, frowning. Lin Ruhai asked why, and it turned out that he was worried about the Jia family.

"My lord, if the Rongguo Mansion continues like this, it's really going to die. There are many people in the family who enjoy honor and honor, but there is not even a single one who plans and plans. The daily ostentation is huge, and the extravagance is too extravagant. And pampering Baoyu too much, even disregarding etiquette, if it goes on for a long time, he is just a slut, how can he become a talent? At a young age, he has been infected with a whole body of bad habits, alas..."

Speaking of this, she sighed and stopped talking.Lin Ruhai was not in a hurry to ask, Jia Min hesitated to speak, and finally made up his mind after a while: "Baoyu has been staring at Yu'er today, making Yu'er feel uncomfortable, although they are still young, but this is too unruly." A little bit."

"What? He still dares to stare at Yu'er!" Lin Ruhai was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. In this life, he still dared to set his daughter's idea. Hmph, this is absolutely impossible.

Jia Min said: "Master, don't worry, he is still young, what does he know, at worst, let Yu'er have less contact with him in the future."

Just as he was talking, the servants came to report: "A man who claims to be the fifth master has come to visit the master!" As he said the invitation card on the ground, Lin Ruhai saw it, and hurriedly called: "Please hurry up!"

☆, the first review

"Haha...Brother Ruhai, how does this capital compare to Yangzhou?" Lin Ruhai just walked into the hall when he heard a loud laugh from inside.He stepped in, bowed and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty has seen the Fifth Prince, and the prince has visited, and the humble abode is full of light." The person who came was the younger brother of the current Holy Majesty——Prince Liu Zhibo, who was also the uncle Lin Daiyu had missed for a long time .Because he is ranked fifth, people in the world often call him the Fifth Prince.

The fifth prince waved his hands and said, "That's all, between you and me, why should you be so polite?"

Lin Ruhai twitched the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, covered his smile, and said, "My lord, please sit up." Following these words, his face became vivid, and his beautiful beard swayed with his expression, showing some Very cute.After he finished speaking, he ordered his servants to serve the best tea.The fifth prince did not take his seat, but pulled out a young man, pointed and said: "This is my boy, you haven't seen him for five or six years. Well, when you left Beijing, he was not yet five years old. The kid is running so fast, he looks like an adult!"

Lin Ruhai knew the identity of this person as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "I don't know if it's the prince, but I'm rude, don't blame it!"

The man also bowed his hands: "My lord Lin is very polite, I dare not be a junior." This person's name is Liu Yixuan, he is less than 11 years old, he is the son of the fifth prince, the son of the British prince who was granted by the emperor.

"Stinky boy, what is your name, Lord Lin? Shi Bo!" Before he could finish his sentence, he was grabbed by the Fifth Prince.

"Yes, Uncle Shi." He changed his words readily.Only then was the fifth prince satisfied, and took his seat, leisurely picked up the tea bowl and sipped it slowly.Liu Yixuan sat upright with no expression on his face, while Lin Ruhai watched him quietly.Although he is not very old, he already looks like a young man. He is rather handsome, with a heroic look on his brows, and he can be called a leader among the people.It's just... the arrogance all over his body is a little hard to get close to. According to his experience, this kind of beauty is beautiful, but too cold, not Daiyu's good choice.It seems that the engagement must be terminated, but it is difficult for the Fifth Prince!

"Ruhai, yesterday you entered the palace to have an audience, did the emperor tell you what kind of official position was granted to you?" the Fifth Prince asked.

"That's not to say, the Holy Majesty is considerate of my long journey and hard work, and granted me a month's leave, and said that I will be awarded an official position after a month." Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "The Holy Majesty is considerate of my subjects, it is really a blessing for us. I have been away from Beijing for a few years, and I just took advantage of this time to wander around and learn about the world, and I may not have such leisure in the future."

"That's wonderful." The fifth prince nodded and smiled.

He smiled very strangely, as if he was planning something, which was indeed the case, and the next sentence can be said to have completely exposed his intentions.He looked at Liu Yixuan, then at Lin Ruhai, and said with a smile: "Anyway, this kid in my family is fine these days, please, Brother Ruhai, show him some knowledge. You are good at reading and have a lot of knowledge, so it is enough for him to carry around with you." benefited."

"My lord is just joking. There are no capable people in the palace. Besides, I heard that the prince is studying with the princes, and the masters are all great Confucianists in the world. If I compare with them, wouldn't it be insignificant?" Lin Ruhai knew his intentions and thought There is no way to gain favorability with yourself.In any case, the engagement must be cancelled, and what Lin Ruhai is determined to do has not been impossible.You are not strict, I will wait, I don't believe that you will never be negligent, don't let me catch something, otherwise...

"Hey, can this be the same?" The fifth prince frowned, "They are all old and stubborn who only know how to study, how can they learn how to manage the world? You Lin Ruhai—— you are not just a scholar..." Speaking of this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Ruhai with deep meaning on his face, "Well, we have been friends for so many years, you won't even help me with this little help! Oh, my niece still likes me as an uncle, You said that if he knew that you didn't even do this little favor, he wondered if he would feel unfair for me as an uncle..."

This is Lin Ruhai's Achilles' heel, he let out a heavy breath, his beard curled up, and the teacup in his hand fell on the table with a crisp sound.I thought to myself: You are just a uncle who made a debut halfway, and I am my biological father. Isn't it clear at a glance which is more important?Yu'er is not a fool.But after thinking about it, no matter what, it's better not to let the Fifth Prince gossip, he just wants Daiyu to live a peaceful life.

The fifth prince pressed his hand on his chin, pressed his thumb to the corner of his mouth, and suppressed a smile.Liu Yixuan remained expressionless, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, the person with the most relationship.

"Okay, I'll help."

"Hey, it's settled." The fifth prince clapped his hands together, and said to his son, "You will go out with Shibo to learn more, remember to be more careful and don't cause trouble." At this moment, his heart was complete, and he couldn't help but say a word Although the son of his family is a bit colder, he doesn't talk much.But Wen Tao and Wu Lue are really outstanding, and there is nothing to say about his character. Ru Hai has been with him for a long time, and he will definitely find that he is good.In this way, he would not be too pushy, and it would be logical for his son to marry Xiao Daiyu home.

Liu Yixuan agreed to the fifth prince's orders one by one.

They chatted a few more gossips, and the fifth prince proposed to see Daiyu, but Lin Ruhai declined on the grounds that Daiyu was tired from visiting relatives and wanted to rest.What he said was reasonable, and the Fifth Prince couldn't say anything, so he had to express his regret, and asked someone to bring two large boxes, saying: "This is for Daiyu and Shengyu, and there are some small things I collected inside." It's not expensive, it's played by ordinary children, and it looks exquisite, so I bought it."

Lin Ruhai didn't refuse, thanked him and ordered someone to send it inside.He is still very grateful for the kindness of the fifth prince. Anyway, he is really kind to Daiyu.

The fifth prince didn't stay for too long, and when he said goodbye, he said that the princess would come to visit in two days.

Lin Ruhai asked Jia Min to tell the news. Since it was a visit from a female family member, it had nothing to do with him, and Jia Min should entertain him.After seeing off the guests, he went to Zhuyunxuan to see Daiyu, and Shengyu was also there, picking up the box to look at the toys.When Lin Ruhai went in, Daiyu and Shengyu hurried up to greet her, seeing each other affectionately.Lin Ruhai talked to Daiyu, while Shengyu went to look at those little gadgets, and showed them to Daiyu from time to time, holding a few that she thought were amusing into Daiyu's arms, and said, "Sister, these are for you to play with."

Daiyu saw that his face was flushed, so she pulled her to touch his forehead, and she was really sweaty, so she glared and said, "Cheng'er, take a break too, don't run around, look at the sweat!"

"Oh!" Shengyu nodded, picked up the toy, "Sister, do you like it?"

Daiyu said: "I like it, but my sister just wants one, you can play with these." Although these gadgets are exquisitely made, she is considered an adult at heart.Seeing these toys, although I will sigh, I can't get excited about playing with them.But Shengyu chose these few with such excitement, it was considered that he had a heart, he didn't want any of them, and he was afraid that he would feel bad and feel lost, so he had to pick one and keep it.

"Thank you sister, sister, these are my favorite." Sheng Yu hugged the toy in his arms, smiling innocently and purely happily.

Lin Ruhai watched the interaction between the siblings, smiled and nodded endlessly.
