Rebirth of the Zhang family in the Red Chamber

Everyone understood what the butler meant, which meant that the old man was dying and asked Lin Yuan to explain his last words.

Mrs. Zhang has no status restrictions. He can say some things. Even if there are any taboos, he is already old, so it doesn't matter. He just blurted out, "This old man Lin really has no eyes."

After listening to the steward's words, Mrs. Liu almost violated filial piety and cursed out loud. This is enough for the father and son, because Lin Tai'an's grandson's catching Zhou ceremony has been simplified, and the old man hates it even more. Is everything simple?

As a granddaughter-in-law, Qingzhi couldn't say anything, but her forehead was wrinkled. She can't be blamed for being unfilial. To her, the old man is just an elder who needs to be respected, but the little glutinous rice balls are her treasure. Same.

The old lady Zhang sighed, this matter is already like this, what can I say, thinking of her granddaughter's medical skills are very good, "Zhi'er, do you have any pills to hold back your anger, at least let the old man hold on for a few days"

What the old lady said made Liu look at her son and daughter-in-law full of hope. She knew that her son and daughter-in-law could heal her, but her father-in-law didn’t believe it, but she believed it. is even better.

Qingzhi began to think, is there anything that can keep people from letting go of that last breath, even if they are in a coma, as long as they continue to breathe.

Lin Yuan also began to wonder if there was anything similar in the prescriptions he knew. After thinking about it over and over, there was none.

Lin Yuan shook his head and said no, everyone cast their eyes on Qingzhi, Qingzhi thought for a while, and said with some hesitation, "I have a kind of ready-made meatballs here, which were originally made for small glutinous rice balls. Big, it is for young children, it can make the anger in the child's body more stable, and reduce the chance of premature death. This is also a prescription I just saw a few days ago. I don't know how effective it is, but it is a prescription for children. I don’t know if it’s going to help much”

Lin Yuan thought for a while, "Since it is a formula for young children, the side effects should be very low. Since it is for stabilizing anger, give grandfather a few more pills to stabilize the existing anger in the body. It should last for a few days. Take it. Serve meatballs and go to grandpa’s yard”

The old man is about to die. Lin Yuan will be the head of the Lin family in the future. Now that he has made a decision, no one else has anything to say. Anyway, the worst result for the old man is already like this. Qingzhi's meatballs are made for small glutinous rice balls. If you want to use them, you should They are all good things, but the recipes are not good. If the things are not good, Qingzhi will not use them for the little glutinous rice balls. Even if they are not very useful for the old man, there will be no hindrance.

This catching week ceremony can't go on anymore, but fortunately the things have been caught, Qing Zhi handed over the things to Fu Ling, and asked her to put them in the small warehouse, and put them away for Xiao Tangyuan.

By the way, tell her to hurry up and get the box where she put the balls for the little glutinous rice balls. They will go to the old man's yard first, and tell her to hurry up and go directly.

Although the housekeeper said that the old man passed on Lin Yuan, since it is time to explain the last words, they should go with them. They should stay in the outer room instead of entering the dormitory. It doesn't matter if they are not called. After the confession is over, they will You can also go in and have a look, who knows if this will be the last side.

When we arrived in the yard, we happened to meet Fu Ling who was trotting all the way. Lin Yuan took the box and went into his grandfather's bedroom.

The old man was very weak and couldn't do it anymore, so he could only prop his head up. When Lin Yuan entered, his eyes were so empty that he didn't know what he was thinking.

"grandfather"

Lin Yuan called out, and the old man came back to his senses. Seeing his magnificent grandson, he was relieved, sighed, disturbed, and relieved at the same time.

The old man wanted to speak, but he opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound. At this moment, a servant girl came in with a porcelain bowl and curtseyed to Lin Yuan, "Master, this is the ginseng soup that grandma asked to bring in for the old man to drink. "

Lin Yuan thought for a while, took out five balls from the box, and let them dissolve in the ginseng soup, "Grandfather, the health-preserving balls brought by Mrs. Zhang, said they are for replenishing vitality. I'll give you some. Effect"

Lin Yuan would not say that it was made by his daughter-in-law, it was for Xiaotangyuan, and it would be a dead horse for you. To say this is definitely the rhythm of courting death.

Mrs. Lin knew that today was the great-grandson's first birthday, and since his son had passed away, the family had to observe filial piety for three years, and the only ones that the great-grandson could invite for the Zhou ceremony were the old man and old lady of the Zhang family who were not afraid of taboos.

If I were going today, I would be so sorry to my great-grandson. Thinking about it this way, I suppressed the discomfort and asked the maid to feed the ginseng soup. I hope that old man Zhang’s things are really useful, so I can let him last a few more days. He didn't want his great-grandson to hate him in the future.

After using the soup, Mrs. Lin felt that his body had some strength. It was indeed much better than before, but he didn't know how long it would last. It's better to explain clearly as soon as possible, "Yuan'er, are you better than me?" Your father made your grandfather more satisfied. After your grandfather left, the Lin family will be handed over to you. Your grandfather doesn't ask you to make the Lin family more brilliant. Your grandfather only wants to ask you to do your best not to let the Lin family become extinct. As long as you are alive, let the Lin family keep the inheritance, don't break it, you promise your grandfather that you can do it, promise me"

The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became. His limp body sat up halfway. He reached out to grab Lin Yuan's hand and held it firmly. .

Lin Yuan supported his grandfather and let him lie back on the bed, "Grandfather, I promise you, as long as I am still in this world, the Lin family will not have an heir or inheritance, so you can rest assured."

Lin Yuan just said that in this world, he is now on the road of cultivating immortals. Although he doesn't know if he and Zhi'er have the possibility of breaking the void, but he can't say enough. What if he leaves this world? So he was talking about as long as in this world, not in my lifetime.

The old man didn't find anything wrong, and he was no longer in this world. His understanding was that he had gone to the underworld, and he was no longer there. It had the same meaning as what he said about his lifetime.

After receiving the guarantee, the old man was relieved a lot, and there was a smile on his face. He closed his eyes, and after a while, he took out a blood-colored jade pendant from under his pillow, held it tremblingly for a while, and then handed it over to After leaving Lin Yuan, he continued, "This is the token of the head of the Lin family. It is obtained from the same piece of blood jade as the pair of blood jade bracelets given to the granddaughter-in-law. With this jade pendant, all the property and wealth of the Lin family can be transferred. Power, when there is a conflict between the orders of the blood jade bracelet and the owner of the jade pendant, respect the order of the master of the jade pendant. Now that the grandfather has given the jade pendant to you, remember that the jade pendant can only be passed on to the owner of the Lin family, not to outsiders. If the Lin family really can't keep it due to external factors, they will destroy the jade pendant. Even if the wealth accumulated by so many generations of the Lin family is completely buried, it will not be cheap for those who have taken the Lin family's idea."

Saying these words obviously made the old man very painful, and he was silent for a long time, "Put the jade pendant away and let them come in."

The few people waiting in the outer room followed Lin Yuan into the bedroom. Old man Lin looked over one by one, and finally his eyes rested on Xiao Tangyuan. He wanted to wave to Xiao Tangyuan and said something to Lin Yuan , She didn't have the strength to raise her arms anymore, Qingzhi saw the old man's eyes, and handed the small glutinous rice balls to Lin Yuan, asking him to hug the old man to see.

Xiao Tangyuan tilted her head, pouted her mouth, and looked at the skinny old man lying on the bed. Although he was a little scared because of his thin and deformed appearance, the way the other party looked at him wanted his mother's grandfather to look at him very much. Then he should also hurt Xiaotangyuan, and now he must be sick, Xiaotangyuan still can't speak, and the little hand carefully patted the old man's exposed hand, ah ah, I don't know what he wants When he said something, he found that no one understood him, and in a hurry he repeated ah ah a lot, but found that it was still useless, his little mouth was pouted higher, his brows were frowned, and he put his little head into his father's chest in frustration. arms.

Ever since the old man got sick, he never let Xiao Tangyuan come to his yard. He was afraid that he would spread sickness to Xiao Tangyuan. Xiao Tangyuan looked at him with a strange look, which made him feel sour, but Xiao Tangyuan was not afraid. He, does he know what kind of honor he is now, seeing Xiao Tangyuan's depressed little expression because he wanted to comfort himself, but because he couldn't speak, the old man made a rare ho ho ho ho and laughed out.

"My illness has delayed the scientific name of the little glutinous rice balls. I have thought about it for the past few days. Jin, which means beautiful jade, also has the meaning of virtue. There is a saying in "Chu Songs", Huai Jin holds Yu, and the little dumpling is called Lin Jinyu, how about it?"

Lin Jinyu is a good name, and several people said it was very good, and they were recognized, and the old man's mood improved a lot.

"Old man Zhang, when I go, this family must be supported by Yuan'er. He is still young and has not experienced enough. There is nothing he can't do. For the sake of our friendship over the years, help Let him check it out. I’m here to be your love first. It’s hypocritical to say thank you. You’ve already taken a fancy to my set of ancient books and you can take them home later. Treat it as yours to take care of my Lin family. How about hard work?"

"Okay, old man Lin, you said that if you don't want anything, I don't care about Yuan'er. Don't forget that he is not only your grandson, but also my grandson-in-law. Even if it's not for you, for me Granddaughter, I won’t let him suffer, so don’t worry. Since you gave me that set of ancient books, I’ll keep them. When Xiaotangyuan is opened, I’ll teach him how to read with ancient books. Don’t worry. Distressed"

Hearing that he agreed to take care of the Lin family, old man Lin felt relieved at last, and slowly closed his eyes.

After waiting for a while, old man Lin didn't see what he said, and when he saw that he had closed his eyes, old man Zhang became anxious, "Yuan'er, take a look at your grandfather, this can't be..."

Lin Yuan stepped forward and carefully felt his grandfather's pulse, "It's okay, grandpa is tired and fell asleep."

When they heard that they didn't go, but fell asleep, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Mrs. Zhang saw that Lin Yuan's face didn't change much. He hid his emotions well at such a young age, and didn't let it out at all, "Then Your grandfather..."

Lin Yuan knew what Mrs. Zhang wanted to ask, and led everyone out of his grandfather's bedroom, and sat down in the living room, "Although the anger in my grandfather's body is weak, it has stabilized and has not dissipated. It seems that he can last ten years." day and half moon"

After speaking, I handed the box to the maid who took care of the old man, "Keep this away, and I will make ginseng soup for the old man every day, take five balls and melt it in, and feed it to the old man."

"Your servant understands, please rest assured, young master." The servant girl was the one who fed the ginseng soup to the old man before, but she knew the ginseng soup that melted into meatballs. After the old man used it, his complexion improved a lot, and he even gained some strength. Knowing these pills It's a good thing, and I quickly put it away after I left it.

In this way, the old man dragged on for another month before leaving at night with a relieved smile on his face. Before the Lin family’s filial piety came out, another funeral was ushered in. Those who received the funeral stickers were not surprised, the old man He is also in his sixties, which is considered a long life in this age, and the old man has also experienced the pain of bereavement, which lasted longer than they imagined.

The double period of filial piety made the Lin family completely silent, and closed the door safely to live an ordinary day of filial piety.
