Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

Lin Ruhai was no longer preparing to live. He just regretted driving away distant relatives of the Lin family too early.

Originally, he wanted to avoid causing trouble for Daiyu, so he sent her away in advance, but since he learned about Jia Lian's style, he became suspicious of Jia's family from the bottom of his heart.

Originally, he planned to ask Zicuckoo in Jia's family to understand the situation, but then an outsider named Yinglian came to see him, so he decided on one more candidate.

It's not just the Jia family who have the idea of ​​​​eliminating the family's wealth, but also the distant relatives of the Lin family.

Since he got sick and sought medical treatment everywhere, two young descendants from the Lin family were sent to him.

Lin Ruhai also wanted to make preparations for both parties, so he kept them, but he didn't know that staying behind would lead to disaster.

Aunt Bai was indeed pregnant, and Lin Ruhai was very happy when she first found out. No matter what, his Yu'er would have the support of a younger brother and sister, and he would be able to feel more at ease a hundred years later.

It was at this time that the two great-nephews of the Lin family came.

Because Aunt Bai is pregnant, although the gender cannot be determined, it is undoubtedly a good thing to be compatible with the clan. Even if there has been no communication before, the children can rely on others if they are of good character.

But he thought differently. How could a relative who had not been in contact with him for many years suddenly become kind? This was originally a conspiracy, a conspiracy to make a fortune in advance.

The child itself was not easy to come by. Due to the other party's calculations, he was miscarried at the age of six months.

Aunt Bai was heartbroken because she could not keep her child, and she was about to die. She just wanted to go back to her hometown during her illness, and Lin Ruhai complied with her wishes.

At this point, Lin Ruhai had no hope of saving the Lin family, so he sorted out the family property and sent his old servant out to live. He then settled down to wait for Daiyu's return in the Lin Mansion.

He originally wanted to see Baoyu, but Jia's family didn't let him come.

When Jia Min was still alive, she had intended for Bao Dai to get married. Jia's mother had always promised that Uncle Lin would not have to worry about Bao Dai's future, as she would naturally arrange it well.

Although the adults had made plans long ago, they did not tell the children for fear that they would find out and get along unnaturally.

She was afraid that getting too close would create a gap, and she was also afraid that Daiyu would be too young and lose her dignity, so Lin Ruhai planned to hide it from Daiyu.

The Lin family had no one to rely on, so the Jia family became Lin Ruhai's only choice to take care of her.

Perhaps he had already guessed that the Jia family might not care about Daiyu as much as he did, so even though he heard Yinglian's comments about the Jia family, he just remained silent for a moment and called Daiyu over.

"Father, do you have something to tell me?"

Daiyu came over with a smile. She felt a lot more relieved after Yinglian took care of her father.

The main reason is that Daiyu is not as weak as everyone thought. After she strengthened her belief, she was able to persuade Lin Ruhai to relax and recover from her illness. Now, the back house of Lin Mansion has been supported.

"My son, come here, let's talk a little respectfully."

Lin Ruhai knew that the matter could not be delayed any longer. Yu'er had been smart since she was a child, so making early plans was the best arrangement for her. So she asked Yinglian to help him sit up and talk to Daiyu against the bedpost.

"It turns out that I was wrong. I felt that my stepmother might not be able to love you. In addition, I have no intention of remarrying, so I delayed you from living under someone else's roof..."

These words touched Daiyu's heartache, so her eyes immediately became moist. She was afraid that her father would be worried and his condition would get worse, so she quickly smiled and said:

"What did father say? I am in my grandmother's house. My grandmother, uncle, and aunt all regard me as their own. The sisters also take good care of me. Even compared to Baoyu, they are no worse. .”

Lin Ruhai had already asked the housekeeper to understand these words from the servants who came with the Jia family. It was already very good for a foreigner to be able to do this.

But as Lin Daiyu's father, he was still more dissatisfied. When Daiyu was at home, she had already begun to read the Four Books. After all these years, she still did this.

It was clear that his wife Jia Min had learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but after Daiyu left, she only made red needlework as her main business. This made Lin Ruhai, who passed down the family poetry and calligraphy, a little bit intolerable.

But this can't be blamed on the Jia family. After all, this is how women are expected nowadays. After Zhu Chengxue's rise in Neo-Confucianism, he became even more harsh on girls. Perhaps Daiyu would be safer if she followed the crowd.

Lin Ruhai sighed, it was too late to say anything now. Although he could live up to the emperor's favor, he had failed his wife and daughter. Now looking at what he pursued in his previous life, it seemed a bit boring.

Now, if Daiyu doesn't stay in Jia's house, where else can she go? If the Jia family is unreliable, how can others be trusted?

"Your grandma, uncle, and aunt love you. It's good for them, but my son also needs to have his own confidence. I know that my son is impatient with these financial matters, but with it, he can beg less from others."

He handed a book to Daiyu and told her to take good care of it.

"If I live up to my expectations, I can protect you for a few more days. If not, the family business must be entrusted to your grandmother's family. Now that I have met Jia Lian, your cousin is still talented and learned financially, but I don't know How about the jade from your second uncle’s house?”

"Baoyu is very good!"

Daiyu finally lost her temper. It was not that she had feelings for Baoyu now, but that she and Baoyu were more intimate as they grew up like childhood sweethearts.

Compared with Jia Lian, natural jade is better.

Lin Ruhai tested Daiyu's impression of Baoyu again, and came to a conclusion in her mind. She asked Daiyu to go out on the excuse that she was tired.

He was silent for a while and said to Zhen Yinglian: "Your mother and her party will probably be able to arrive in Yangzhou tomorrow."

"Thank you, sir." Yinglian knew that Lin Ruhai had something to say to her.

"Actually, I have always been curious about what kind of parents can educate a child like you. You are only four years older than Daiyu, but you are much more capable than her."

Seeing that Yinglian didn't speak, he had no choice but to sigh and said: "Daiyu's maternal family is already very good. I am also planning to get Daiyu and Baoyu to get married. This kind of marriage will definitely protect Daiyu. "

Yinglian thought about Feng Yuan's many plans for Daiyu in her previous life, but she finally chose Jia Baoyu, and she didn't know what to say.

Because Daiyu married Baoyu, she did not live long. She died of dystocia when giving birth. Therefore, Feng Yuancai resigned from his official position and began to travel around to promote medicine.

"I heard that you are the only one here, so I thought it would be good to have another relationship... It just so happens that you and Daiyu are also in love, so I can accept you as my adopted daughter... Please help me take care of Daiyu. Are some okay?"

Lin Ruhai handed a book to Yinglian, "I gave Daiyu a note of two hundred thousand taels, and you have the same thing here. Although I feel ashamed to do this, you are the only sincere person I have met during this time. Those who love Yu'er..."

Yinglian took more care of Daiyu because of Feng Yuan's previous love for Daiyu. She didn't expect that she would get such an unexpected fortune. Looking at Lin Ruhai's hopeful eyes, she couldn't say no. The words came.
