Violation of the Red Chamber and Daiyu

Seeing Lin Ruhai's complexion was very bad, Jia Lian thought that he was seriously ill, so he inquired about Lin's family's financial situation every day.But Lin Ruhai had already sent away those lazy and slippery servants, and the rest were tight-lipped, and Jia Lian couldn't find out anything.He thought of the Zhen family who were also in the south of the Yangtze River, so he told Lin Ruhai that his ancestor asked him to drop by the Zhen family to meet the old lady Zhen, and then went to Zhen's mansion.When we arrived at Zhen's mansion, after seeing the old lady, we went to the front to talk with Zhen Jiaying.Speaking of Lin's mansion, Zhen Jiaying also sighed: "I only think that he is seriously ill and negligent, but this Lin's mansion is not chaotic at all, which shows how strict Master Lin is in housekeeping." Wandering in the flower streets and alleys, in teahouses and taverns, I thought that when Uncle Lin went, there was only Sister Lin and a child in the house, so I would feel free to play without having to ask my master to take care of me.

As the days passed, Lin Ruhai also sorted out the affairs in Jiangnan and wrote a note to the emperor, and said to the outside world that he had found a famous doctor and his health was getting better day by day.Jia Lian saw that Lin Ruhai's complexion was getting better day by day, and knew that Mrs. Wang's plan was going to fail.But also helpless.

One day, Jia Lian was being held by Lin Ruhai for his homework exams when he saw Zhao'er come in and said, "Greetings, Mrs. Lin, and Second Master. There is a great news from Beijing." Jia Lian was being held by Lin Ruhai. He was speechless when he asked, seeing Zhao'er was like seeing a savior, and hurriedly said: "You careless slave, why are you so tricky, why don't you just say something directly."

Zhao'er said: "The eldest girl of our family has been granted the title of Shangshu of Fengzao Palace by Jin Dynasty, and she has also been granted the title of Concubine Xiande." Said: If my aunt is safe, I will ask the second lord to take Miss Lin back as soon as possible."

Lin Ruhai thought that the Jiangnan incident would become more and more dangerous in the end, and she didn't want Daiyu to be involved in the danger, so she agreed to let Daiyu continue to go to Jia's mansion.Only in the evening of that day, Jia Lian was avoided, and Daiyu was specifically asked to talk.Daiyu said: "Father, you are in this whirlpool now. How can my daughter abandon her father and go to that prosperous and safe place alone? Let her accompany her father." Lin Ruhai said: "Yu'er need not say more, for Father definitely can't keep you by his side, and when you go to Beijing, father can rest assured that he has no other intentions when he is on business for the emperor." After speaking, he handed Daiyu a pair of jadeite bracelets and said, "Yu'er, this bracelet It is hollow, and one of them contains half of our family’s property. I have sold some unremarkable stubbornness, plus the income over the years, a total of 120 million taels of silver bills; What is there is the dowry list of the past mistresses of our Lin family, if there is anything wrong with being a father, the government will also give you these dowries, and you will know it when the time comes."

Daiyu was very moved when she heard that, this cheap father really thought a lot about his daughter.She said: "Father, don't be pessimistic. My daughter is still waiting for my father in the capital." Lin Ruhai said: "The emperor pities my father's weakness, and has agreed to let my father return to Beijing after this matter is over. Daughters can be reunited, and fathers can enjoy family happiness." Daiyu was happy when she heard this.

The next day, Lin Ruhai gave Daiyu 5000 taels of silver notes in front of Jia Lian and said, "This 2 taels is my father's congratulations to the virtuous concubine, and you give it to your grandmother. The 5000 taels are yours. Take care of your future expenses at your grandfather's house." He gave Jia Lian 1000 taels of silver and said, "Yu'er will have to take care of Lian'er on the way, so you can keep the money for tea." Jia Lian was happy Accepted, he took Daiyu to resign from Lin Ruhai and returned to Beijing.

Jia Lian was in a hurry to go back because of the concubine in Yuanchun, so he traveled day and night all the way, and returned to the capital a few days earlier than when he went.After entering Jia's mansion, Jia Lian and Daiyu went to greet Jia's mother first, and then went out.Daiyu gave Jia Mu Xing, and Mrs. Wang invited Ann.Then he said that he brought some Yangzhou soil rituals to his grandmother and two aunts, sisters-in-law and sisters, and delivered them to each house in a while.Everyone said that the eldest girl was too polite.

Daiyu said again: "My father heard that my eldest cousin became a concubine, so he sent me to bring 2 taels of silver to my grandmother to express my congratulations." Then he asked Nanny Zhang to present the bank note, and Mother Jia said, "Mr. Thinking about it, my aunt is ready?" Daiyu said: "Father is already well, so grandma doesn't have to worry." Daiyu said again: "Father is worried that I will use too much here and cause inconvenience to the old ancestors, and I will not worry about it." I gave 5000 taels of silver to spend. "Nurse Zhang took out another 5000 taels of silver and gave it to Jia Mu. Jia Mu said: "You haven't used up what you gave last time. How can you give it? Take it back quickly. "Daiyu said: "Old ancestor, you should keep it for me. I am young, so I don't have to lose it." Jia Mu smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I will keep it for Yu'er, and I will keep it in the future. It will be your dowry silver." Daiyu said: "The old ancestor teased me, but I don't obey." Everyone laughed again.

Suddenly, the maids outside the door said: "Greetings to Master Bao." The curtain opened, and Baoyu stepped into the room. Before Mammy Zhang could stop her, Baoyu grabbed Daiyu's hand and said, "My sister is coming back. She has lost weight and lost a lot of weight. My sister will stay at home in the future, so why bother to go back to Naluoshizi Yangzhou?" Daiyu saw that Jia Baoyu was crazy again, and when everyone was not paying attention, she used her hands hard, but Jia Baoyu just let go. Oh, Daiyu hurriedly said: "I also brought a gift for my second cousin, does my cousin like it?" Seeing that all the sisters gathered to see his gift, Jia Baoyu didn't dare to cry out.

In the evening, Xiren waited on Jia Baoyu to wash and wash. Seeing that his hands were red and swollen, he hurriedly asked him what was the matter. Baoyu said, "I don't know. I think I touched it by accident. You don't have to shout, just take some. Just apply the ointment." I was still thinking, this sister Lin's hands are getting stronger and stronger, don't hurt her stature in the future, I have to remind her tomorrow.

The next day, Jia Baoyu really told Daiyu to be careful every day, not to use force, not to hurt herself, but Daiyu was confused.Dongxiu was still clever, and when she returned to the room, she said to Daiyu, "I'm afraid the second master Bao thinks that the girl didn't do it on purpose, and I'm afraid that the girl will hurt herself if she uses too much force." Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Baoyu was stunned.It turned out that the mothers and maids around Daiyu all knew that Daiyu had great strength, and they thought Daiyu was born with supernatural power.Daiyu didn't explain it either, this misunderstanding is still very good.

After a few days, a eunuch came to report that the emperor had promised his mother to visit his relatives.Jia Zheng hurriedly submitted the booklet and kowtowed for the emperor's kindness.Jia's mother also recruited people in charge of the eastern and western prefectures, and they discussed the construction of a relatives' hospital together.
