Xiaoxiang Water Cloud in the Red Chamber

Lin Ruhai heard what Shui Rong said, and said with a smile: "That's right, the deputy manager of Yulin Villa is my direct disciple. He was originally an orphan I picked up. He took my surname as Lin Yifei. He is one year older than you. He has been in the other village since he was a child." Studying and practicing martial arts, he is extremely loyal to me. I think it would be good to adopt him and follow Yu'er to the capital to take care of her. We have been focusing on Jiangnan, and those old foxes in Jingli Xiping, Nan'an, and Dongjun Wang are all watching. Don’t care about everything. There are not many officials who can use them, and they are all vegetarians. Speaking of this, I get angry. If the emperor could listen to me, your father and others, it would not be the same as those officials in the court now. Most of them are in private contact with aristocratic families. He has few people who can be relied on. Only the emperor, you, and the prince are staring at it. A helper. I think you have recruited a lot of talents in private. If you can win more in the spring in the next year, it will definitely be of great benefit to the emperor. Otherwise, it would be nice if the king of Zhongshun and the aristocratic family are rectified, and there is no reserve talent in the court. The emperor has no one to use. So Rong'er, the chief examiner of Chunwei in the next year, can't be snatched away by King Zhongshun's henchmen, no matter what method you think of, this matter must be firmly in your hands. .”

Shui Rong nodded frequently, and couldn't help admiring Lin Ruhai's far-reaching thinking. He almost never thought that there would be any problems after the dust settled.Suddenly, he thought that Lin Yifei and Daiyu had nothing to do with each other, and wouldn't it be a big mistake for them to face each other day and night, so he looked depressed again.Lin Ruhai is so smart, he knew what he meant early on, and said with a smile, "What do you want? Brother and sister are bound up. He is the heir of my Lin family, and what you think will never happen." Shui Rong smiled sarcastically, It was a little embarrassing.

After a few days, Lin Ruhai dragged his "sick" body and announced that he felt that time was running out, but the incense of the Lin family could not be broken in his own hands, so he adopted a son from a distant clan to inherit the Lin family clan.Jia Lian has been wandering around Huajie and Liuxiang for the past few days. Today, he was surprised to hear Lin Ruhai suddenly announce this matter. No matter what, he never thought that Lin Ruhai would have such a trick, because if a family has a man, a woman has no right to inherit the family business. Did Lin Ruhai actually give his family business to outsiders and not to his daughter?

Doubts are doubts, Jia Lian is not qualified to intervene in the Lin family's affairs.A few days later, Lin Yifei came to Yushi Mansion, Lin Ruhai specially invited the elders of the clan in his ancestral home, held a solemn adoption ceremony in the ancestral hall, wrote Lin Yifei's name into the family tree, and announced that the position of patriarch would be passed on to Yifei .Jia Lian was not qualified to participate, seeing Lin Ruhai and Lin Yifei coming out of the ancestral hall with smiles on their faces, he sighed in his heart, maybe Uncle Lin was really sick and confused, and he gave the Nuo family property to a poor boy, so he was not afraid of his daughter being wronged.Look carefully at this Lin Yifei, he is only 20 years old, he looks gentle and elegant, has a good-looking appearance, and his gestures are full of books, but he is quite like the Lin family, but the gleam in his eyes makes him even more shrewd. And vitality, also let Jia Lian know that this is definitely not a vegetarian.Daiyu felt extremely affectionate towards this elder brother, perhaps because he was taught by her father, although she had never met him before, she did not seem alienated.Na Yifei knew that Lin Ruhai had a precious daughter, and he was very kind to see her now.

Ever since Lin Yifei was adopted, Lin Ruhai seemed to have something on his mind, and his physical condition went from bad to worse.Daiyu and her elder brother are very meticulous in serving the doctor and medicine every day, but how can human life be compared with the sky? After more than a month, Lin Ruhai finally "passed away". Before he died, he distributed a total of 320 million taels of family property, of which 200 million The two were donated to the national treasury, in exchange for Daiyu's title of Princess Ningxin, the third rank. 80 taels were given to Daiyu, and the remaining 20 taels were given to Lin Yifei. According to Lin Ruhai's words, a man can't rely on his ancestral property for a living, so he ordered him to take the imperial examinations, so he couldn't lose face to the Lin family ancestors.The other 10 taels were distributed to the servants at home, and Jia Lian took the remaining 10 taels back to Jia Mu as the last act of filial piety for Jia Min. After all, Lin Ruhai knew that no matter how much Jia Min hated Jia Mu, she was still her own mother. Parents can abandon their children, but no children can abandon their parents. Besides, the blood in Jia Min's body and the love of more than ten years cannot be wiped out with one stroke. How can he be really heartless in his heart? Lin Ruhai doesn't want others to underestimate his wife go.An additional 3 taels was given to Jia Lian as a thank you gift for taking care of Daiyu all the way.The ancestral house in Suzhou cannot be moved, and the Yushi Mansion is actually the Lin family's private property, but it was also donated to the country by Lin Ruhai.Jia Lian admired Lin Ruhai's orderly arrangement.I saw that giving myself 10 taels was considered a kindness, but I was still not good at dealing with business, so I had to secretly sell some inconspicuous antiques from the Yushi Mansion, and finally got together another 30 taels.Fortunately, Lin Yifei got Lin Ruhai's order, so he had to spit out how much the Jia family got, and didn't care about him.

Daiyu felt pain in her heart at the thought of being separated from her father again, so she couldn't help crying bitterly in front of the coffin, she didn't realize that she lost a lot of weight, but her demeanor was much stronger than before.The emperor ordered King Beijing to pay homage, so the Jiangnan officials did not dare to underestimate the brothers and sisters of the Lin family, and the funeral was not shabby.That Shui Rong stayed in Lin's house justifiably, seeing Daiyu sad was very distressing, and he only hoped that all the storms would pass quickly.With Shui Rong and Lin Yifei, it's impossible for Jia Lian to be interested in the Lin family, and seeing that he couldn't bring Daiyu back after the funeral, he bid farewell and left.Daiyu and her elder brother took the coffin of "Lin Ruhai" back to their ancestral home for burial.

It was already the tenth day of the fifth lunar month when I set off to return to Suzhou, with durian flowers shining in my eyes and Yingying singing.

Daiyu knew that she would return to the capital directly when she returned to Suzhou this time, and the day when she would see her father again was nowhere in sight, so she was naturally sad, and she threw herself into Lin Ruhai's arms and wept silently.

Lin Ruhai sighed in his heart, not only could he not watch his daughter grow up, but instead let her go to a foreign land to suffer. Being a father is such a negligence of duty, Min'er must blame him too.He caressed Daiyu's three thousand black hair and said, "Don't be sad, Yu'er. I think it will be settled in three or four years. At that time, it would be nice to guard you every day as a father. You must be careful in everything in the capital." , especially your grandmother's house, you must be careful. It's not the time to turn against their house. Sometimes you still have to go to their house. You did a good job in the past three years, and you only went two or three times a year. It's fine when the etiquette is up, anyway, now your mother is gone, and your father is also 'gone', and the relationship with their family is not so close."

Daiyu sighed in her heart, a severe frost covered her pale face, now that she knew about her mother's past, and the little affection she had for Jia's mansion was gone, how could she still go to that hypocritical place calmly , So she pursed her mouth and said: "How can Yu'er go to their house, the hatred of killing her mother is irreconcilable, Yu'er doesn't want to go."

Lin Ruhai sighed: "Dad, why don't you know, but for what reason did you break up with their family and kill your mother? If this matter comes up, you need to go to the yamen to settle it, but it's not time to settle accounts. Then The four major families will not let them off as fathers. Your mother is still there, so I am not good at doing it. Now that the King of Zhongshun is done, I will not let them go. Yu'er and Be patient for a few more years."

Daiyu knew that her father was right, and she couldn't be willful, so she said, "Don't worry, Daddy, Yu'er knows what to do, so it's fine to go there once or twice a year. With my brother protecting me, I will be safe. Daddy Take good care of yourself in the south of the Yangtze River, Daddy is a big deal, you must be careful in everything, don't worry about Yu'er, Yu'er will obediently wait for Daddy to pick him up in the capital."

Yifei sighed after hearing Lin Hai's words. After all, his father still didn't tell his sister the real reason why he couldn't sever ties with the Jia family now. He was afraid that his sister would do something that would endanger him. He couldn't help but swear in his heart, that Jia's mansion needs to get it done quickly, how could he bear to let his sister go to such a smoky place against her will.

Lin Ruhai told Lin Yifei again: "Fei'er, I am at ease with your father. But now he is the official heir of my Lin family, don't treat yourself as an outsider anymore, Yu'er is your biological sister now, you two should love each other, Support each other. Don't forget what I told you, hurry up and review your homework. It's not that your father is forcing you, but that Chun Wei must win the top three in the next year. As the emperor, even if you are promoted exceptionally, no one will say anything. You are the best at assisting the Holy Majesty."

Lin Yifei hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Dad, don't worry, Fei Er will definitely not let Daddy down."

Because there were not many things to do for the time being, he still followed Daiyu to Suzhou.

Lin Ruhai watched Daiyu and Lin Yifei's water-melting boat go far away with a smile, then he sighed and turned to leave.Calculating the time, Liu Wuxin will soon arrive in the capital, and he doesn't know if everything will go well.
