The Concubine of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

The Twelfth Lord Li Yibai stayed in the Lin Mansion for a few more days before leaving for Beijing.The originally treacherous atmosphere of Yangzhou City gradually calmed down after the master left, or in other words, hidden underground, waiting for the opportunity.But on the surface, it was a group of kindness.

Because Daiyu was frightened in the orange grove that day, and the wind and evil entered her body at night, she fell ill when she returned to the Lin mansion.Fortunately, after three years of recuperation, Daiyu's body is much better than before, and Lin Ruhai and Lin Jue searched around for the best bird's nest and snow clams, and sent them to Daiyu's small kitchen without money. Naturally healed faster.

This also shows the difference between living in one's own home and being dependent on others.When I was in Jia's house, I was also sick for five days and three days. Although Jia's mother loves her and all the medicinal materials come from Jia's private treasury, there are also many gossips in the mansion, and there are even "unlike A long-lived one" words came to my ears.This is tantamount to adding insult to injury, already depressed due to illness, this has added a little bit of heart disease, and the body has not been refreshed.

Now in my own home, not only the medicinal materials are selected by my father and brother, but also every day, I am afraid that I will be wronged.The servants in the mansion are also well-behaved, and there is not a single gossip.I heard from Nanny Fang that real aristocratic families are very strict in managing subordinates. The head of the family should be lenient when they should be lenient, but they should not be soft-hearted when they should be strict.For example, the servant who was waiting to arrange the master, immediately gagged and dragged him out to kill him.

When Daiyu listened to Nanny Fang talking about the management of the inner house, she couldn't help but compare it with Jia's mansion, so she knew how unpopular she was in Jia's mansion back then.Thinking that she is the daughter of a dignified second-rank official of the imperial court, the granddaughter of Jia's direct relative, although she is a guest, she is also the master, and An Neng is randomly arranged by a group of maids and women.

Nanny Fang has seen a lot of private affairs, and after hearing Daiyu's brief mention, she understood the general idea.Daiyu didn't say clearly that it was what happened to her when she was in Jia's mansion, so Nanny Fang just didn't know.When Lin Jue asked Mother Fang to come back, she had confessed that if Daiyu asked about some secret methods, she would tell her. After all, she would be the mistress of the house in the future. Although there is no intention of harming others, it must not be defenseless.

Mother Fang pondered for a moment, "Everyone with a high family like this is not unruly and strict. The girl should know just by looking at our mansion. Which servant dares to gossip and make up the master? Even if the master has something to do, it should be Keeping your mouth shut and taking the initiative to keep your mouth shut is the way to go. Fate is in the hands of the master, and if you dare to arrange the master, wouldn't it be too long?

And girl, think about it carefully, in the family you mentioned, the master is not like the master, and the servants are not like servants. Miss Qianjin and the girl, mother-in-law, sister and sister yelled at each other, and the son of the family is over seven years old. Sisters and girls hang out, what rules are there?If my guess is correct, if the servant dares to arrange Miss Keju in this way, it may be instructed by someone.

The girl said that the old lady of the family had long since stopped doing things, and she loved the older girl very much. In my opinion, the housekeeper wife of the family probably did this.It's just a big family with a lot of people and loose rules, so it's okay for someone else to interfere with it. After all, the power of housekeeping has passed over the eldest lady and directly given to the second lady, so how can the eldest lady and the elder be willing to be willing. "

Daiyu has always had a deep affection for Jia's mother, and it was Jia's mother who protected her a lot when she was in Jia's house, so she was not willing to doubt anyone in Jia's family, and even once, she regarded it as her own home.

Daiyu didn't feel so sad when the naked truth was in front of her, instead she felt a sense of relief.Maybe she had noticed it long ago, but she just didn't want to admit it. Now that the truth is in front of her eyes, Daiyu can finally cut off the trace of reluctance in her heart and no longer be hurt by the gossip and gossip of Jia's mansion.

In the past three years, Nanny Fang has noticed Daiyu's changes, and she is really overjoyed.The Lin family's family background is not poor, and the family style is also good. Just looking at the orderly backyard without the mistress, one can know that the Lin family has a profound heritage.Nanny Fang finds it strange that such a rich family can raise Daiyu's temper.

Later, Lin's father and son explained, and after contacting Daiyu, she knew the reason.Fortunately, Daiyu is talented and intelligent, and she is willing to listen to others' persuasion. Whenever she mentions something that is not in compliance with the rules, Daiyu will correct it and will not do it again.Nanny Fang was very happy to have such a disciple, but Daiyu had almost learned the rules and etiquette, but she always felt that something was missing.

Today's Daiyu is just a butterfly breaking out of the cocoon, gradually revealing the demeanor of a noble daughter of other families.

Lin Jue has passed the exam, so he no longer needs to go to the academy every day, and he also has a father who is Tan Hualang, who writes an essay every three days, under the personal guidance of Lin Ruhai, Lin Jue's essay writing level is increasing day by day.

Lin Ruhai didn't want his son to grow up to be a little nerd who would inherit the family business in the future but not understand common affairs, and sooner or later the family business would be ruined.Therefore, a long time ago, he gave Lin Jue a shop for him to learn to manage. Seeing that he managed it well, he gradually handed over the property to him.Now that Lin Jue has achieved fame, Lin Ruhai began to lead him to learn how to deal with others, and gradually handed over the network in his hands to Lin Jue.

This day Lin Ruhai went to the Yamen to deal with political affairs, and Lin Jue stayed at home to study, and at noon, Lin Ruhai didn't see Lin Ruhai coming home for dinner.He called the servant to inquire, and saw Lin Cheng stumbling over.Seeing Lin Jue, "Plop" knelt in front of him and burst into tears, "Master...Master... something happened to Master!"

Seeing his description like this, Lin Jue roared in his head, and his body softened immediately. Qingsong Qingtong held Lin Jue from left to right, preventing him from falling directly to the ground.Lin Jue was just caught off guard for a while, but now she had recovered and asked Lin Cheng what was going on.

Although Lin Cheng was choking with sobs, he spoke clearly: "Master met an assassin on the street and was stabbed in the chest. Because it was close to a shop of ours, he carried it directly. I have already invited a doctor, but I still don't know what to do now."

Lin Jue was heartbroken, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Qingsong went to prepare the carriage and asked Master to go with him. Qingtong went to the inner courtyard to inform Nanny Fang, and told her to talk to my sister slowly. Remember, you must go slowly." Tell my sister, prepare some of her commonly used medicine first. Li Cheng, come with me."

After making some arrangements, Lin Jue tightly held Lin Cheng's hand that was supporting her, and rushed all the way to the door. After Luo Song came out, the two of them got into the carriage together with Lin Cheng, and rushed to Lin Ruhai's place.

Luo Song saw Lin Jue's expression changed in the carriage, so he directly grabbed his wrist and probed towards the pulse gate.After concentrating on it, he took out a silver needle and stabbed it at Lin Jue.Lin Jue didn't dodge or dodge, and let Master Luo stick the needle into his body. His chest hurt and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Luo Song heaved a sigh of relief, and handed over the handkerchief to wipe Lin Jue's mouth, "It's nothing, just let it out, otherwise something will happen sooner or later."

Lin Jue regained some sanity, "Thank you, Master."

"There's no need to say that between you and me," Luo Song sighed, "You're a good boy, the Lin family is counting on you now, and you can't fall down first."

Lin Jue clenched his fists and said with firm eyes, "I know."

The carriage rushed all the way to the Lin family's shop, and when he saw Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai was exhaling more air than inhaling, and was breathing out one mouthful at a time.Luo Song's complexion changed drastically, he hurriedly stepped forward to check his pulse, and discussed with several other doctors.Lin Jue knelt in front of Lin Ruhai's bed, tightly holding that pale and bloodless hand, "Father...Father..." The pitiful cry like a trapped animal moved everyone present.

Lin Ruhai's already weak hands suddenly tightened, and his eyes trembled slightly. Seeing Lin Jue's grief-stricken look, he wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't speak.

Luo Song shook his head lightly, and told Lin Cheng to go back to the Lin residence to fetch Daiyu, and then sealed Lin Ruhai's acupoints with silver needles, "Master Lin, Daiyu is coming soon, you must hold back, Don't let this breath out."

Lin Jue looked at his master with a miserable expression, Luo Song sighed, and shook his head slightly at him, Lin Jue bit his lower lip tightly to keep from crying.Could it be that even his master can't do anything about it!

Daiyu came very quickly, and when she came in, everyone else in the house had already avoided, only the father and son of the Lin family were left in the house.Daiyu suppressed her crying, knelt down in front of Lin Ruhai's bed together with Lin Jue, sobbing softly.Lin Ruhai stretched out his hand towards Daiyu, Lin Jue understood, quickly grabbed Daiyu's hand and placed it in Lin Ruhai's palm.

Lin Ruhai looked at the pair of children in front of him, the son was Congmin and the daughter was Linghui, but now that he was still young, and he had gone like this, who else could protect his poor pair of children.

"Jue'er, Yu'er..." Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Jue and then at Daiyu. Luo Song sealed several big holes on his chest, and he didn't feel any pain on his body. Every time he moved, the wound on his chest still gurgled out. A little blood.

Seeing this, Lin Jue and Daiyu burst into tears. They both knew that Lin Ruhai might not have much time.

Lin Ruhai tugged at the corner of his mouth, trying to comfort his children, but it only added to his sadness. "My son, don't be sad. There will be a day in this life, sooner or later... Jue'er, Yu'er, you are blood relatives. In this world, there is no one who is closer than you. For father After leaving, Jue'er, as the elder brother, you must take good care of your younger sister, Yu'er, you have to listen to your brother, there is no one who loves you more than him. Cough cough..."

Lin Jue and Daiyu were choked up and speechless.

"Jue'er, you must properly handle the matter that I told you for your father. After your father passes away, you need to deal with Yangzhou's property as soon as possible, and then take your sister to Beijing as soon as possible. Remember, when you leave Yangzhou, don't leave Yangzhou again." I'm back. Remember, when you arrive in Beijing, don't be attached to anyone. In the future, you will be loyal to the emperor if you pass the imperial examinations and become an official. Don't participate in other things...Remember, remember..."

After Lin Ruhai confessed, his energy was finally exhausted, and after taking another look at the pair of children, Lin Ruhai slowly closed his eyes.Lin Jue and Daiyu couldn't hide the grief in their hearts, and they wept bitterly in the room for a while.The servants of the Lin family who were waiting outside also knelt in the direction of the door and began to cry. The whole courtyard was filled with grief for a while.

When the door was opened again, all that could be seen was Lin Jue's eyes stained red with grief, and his increasingly calm and capable demeanor.

Lin Ruhai's funeral was kept simple, because of Lin Ruhai's assassination, people in Yangzhou City were panicked for a while.When Yangzhou City returned to its former tranquility, the two friends and neighbors discovered that the white flags and plaques of the Lin Mansion had already been taken down, and there was only one housekeeper left in the Lin Mansion and a few descendants. Man, the two little masters had quietly left at some point.
