The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber
Chapter 24 Iron Net Mountain's paddock is huge,...
Iron Net Mountain's paddock is huge, and the hunting in this dynasty did not domesticate all kinds of wild animals and put them in the paddock for the royal family and noble children to have fun.Iron Net Mountain paddock is rich in water and grass, and hunters are not allowed to enter on weekdays. There are a lot of wild animals, but they are all wild.Hunting every year is comparable to a military exercise or field training of ancient military skills. Many honorable children participate in it, and even wait to make their mark in the hunting.
It is also because the paddock is large, with high mountains and dense forests, many participants, many people who are skilled in martial arts, and everyone carries bows and arrows. Once there is a disorder in the paddock, it will be a chaos. How can Lin Ruhai not be alarmed?
"Why did Yu'er say that?" Although Lin Ruhai asked this, but he was an extremely intelligent and agile person, and he also had a faint feeling in his heart. It's just that he had been an official for many years, and he only wanted the government and the public to live in peace, so he resisted such speculation in his heart.
Daiyu was different. After she traveled back, she thought about many things clearly.In the previous life, the prince was imprisoned in the middle of winter, which happened to be shortly after returning to Beijing after hunting in Iron Net Mountain.Now it's only early autumn, and the hunting team has set off, so the so-called bad things about the prince are mostly in Iron Net Mountain.
Naturally, Daiyu didn't talk about the past life, but said: "Father came to the south of the Yangtze River from the emperor's order. As soon as he stood on his feet, something happened to Brother You. If Fu Shi's treacherous plan succeeds, the matter of Brother You will be destroyed. It's an accident, maybe the other party can keep calm for a few more days. However, our family has found out about Brother Yu, and the other party also knows that his father will not give up, and as far as the other party is concerned, Miss Su Lan has disappeared. Once this involves the matter behind it, the other party will lose the opportunity. If I plan this matter, I will definitely give it a go."
Lin Ruhai naturally understood this truth, and sighed: "It's a pity that our family is far away from the capital, and news from Iron Net Mountain is inconvenient, and it's beyond our reach." After a pause, he smiled again: "It's not our family's turn to worry about this matter. Why bother. Such a large-scale hunting, how many imperial guards will go there, even if someone jumps over the wall in a hurry, it may not be able to accomplish anything."
When the emperor goes out, the guards are so thorough, it is natural for this reason, but something happened in the previous life.Daiyu still remembered the icy face and serious eyes when her father changed his mind and wanted to send her to Beijing.But in this life, the Lin family has already reminded Donggong, hoping that Donggong can avoid risks.If Donggong didn't even have this sensitivity and insight, if he escaped this time, he wouldn't be able to escape the next time.
The position of crown prince, before taking power, was already full of risks.
Daiyu knew that the trip to Iron Net Mountain would not be so peaceful, but Lin Ruhai's words comforted Jia Min, and the life of the Lin family did not change because of the advance of the trip to Iron Net Mountain.
The Lin family couldn't get involved in the matter of Iron Net Mountain, so Daiyu simply put the matter aside.People began to go back to the old house in Suzhou to repair and tidy up the house.
The Lin family hadn't been back to Suzhou for many years, but because Yangzhou was not far from Suzhou because they were transferred to the Xunyan Yushi, they planned to return to their hometown for the New Year this year.There are not as many holidays and holidays in the yamen as in later generations, but because the new year is a big festival, the holidays are extremely long.From the 24th of the twelfth lunar month to the [-]th day of the first lunar month, it was after the Lantern Festival, and it took a day's correction before the official opening of the government office.
In the past, the Lin family was either in the capital or Jiujiang, and they had more than 20 days of vacation and had no chance to return home. Now Yangzhou is only two days away from Suzhou, but they can return home to worship their ancestors.Since there was only one servant in the old house who looked after the house, and she didn't know whether the owner was tired after not returning home for many years, Daiyu arranged for someone to go back first.
Over the past few months, the Lin family has received two letters from the capital.
The person who sent the letter was sent by Zhang Yan and Zhang Shilang's house, first the eldest son of Zhang Taizi and Taifu, and Jia Lian's uncle.Speaking of which, the Zhang family and the Jia family were estranged, because the former prince Taifu was also Lin Ruhai's tutor, and had always been in contact with the Lin family.
Someone from the Zhang family sent two gifts, and Daiyu presented the letter to Lin Ruhai. One of them was naturally given by the Zhang family, and the other was given by Jia Lian and his wife, because Jia Lian only went south this year. In order to send someone again, I borrowed the people from the Zhang family to send the gifts and letters.
The letter from the Zhang family does not need to be detailed, it is nothing more than the same holiday greetings as in previous years, plus a few words of thanks to the Lin family for taking care of their nephew.But the letter from Jia Lian made Jia Min very happy.
The letter said that after Jia Lian had been taught by her aunt, she had realized something, and had invited her husband to worship at home. It also mentioned that Sister Feng was pregnant.Jia Lian was not considered a literary talent, but the letter was written by himself, and he thanked Jia Min sincerely.
When she heard that the letters from the Zhang family and Jia Lian had been sent together, Daiyu knew that Jia Lian had followed her mother's advice and had gone to her uncle's house.But what Daiyu didn't expect was that Sister Feng was pregnant so soon.
In the previous life, Jia Lian and his wife got Qiaojie several years later, but in this life, it was several years earlier.Regardless of whether Sister Feng conceived naturally or listened to her mother's advice and paid attention to her diet, Jia Lian and his wife would inevitably suspect that someone had tampered with what Jia Min said before.From then on, not to mention Jia Lian, even Sister Feng would have to be on guard against Aunt Wang.
Naturally, the Lin family would love to hear that the chief house and the second house of the Rongguo Mansion could be separated.
If you ask Daiyu to say that the daughters of the Wang family are too ignorant of the law, the Wang family naturally does not take human lives seriously, and Sister Feng is not less involved in the bad habits of the Wang family, exploiting profits and taking lawsuits.In the previous life, Jia's family was romantic and scattered, although the family did not have a man who could stand upright, and the children and grandchildren did not live up to expectations, but many crimes were caused by the aunt and nephew.
In this life, I hope that Sister Feng's housekeeper has not been contaminated with evil things in a few days, otherwise the Jia family will not repeat the mistakes of the previous life.
If it is said that Jia Lian and his wife are two, it is really too late to do evil in this life.Now that Jia's family is still a bit wealthy, and there is still money to be made, Wang is reluctant to let go of power, because Sister Feng is learning how to handle errands, and she is afraid that she will not be careful. Husband and wife are big, can do evil things.Sister Feng of the later generations took over the lawsuit after Jia Wang saw that the Rongguo Mansion was unable to make ends meet, so she gave up her pick.
The two letters from the capital were considered good news, and the sender was rewarded, and Lin Ruhai wrote the letter back to Zhang Yan, and the husband and wife wrote letters to Jia Lian, and the Zhang family took them back to Beijing.
After the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month, everyone in the Lin family was beaming with joy. Although Daiyu was from Suzhou, in her previous life she was accompanied by Jia Lian and returned to her hometown to bury her father after her father passed away. She stayed in Suzhou for a while.After entering Beijing again, he never left Beijing until his death.Lin You has never been to his hometown for a day.As the day of departure is approaching, everyone from the master to the servants is full of joy.
The carriages and horses to be taken to Suzhou have already been packed.Waking up in the morning on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, a piece of morning light actually shone in the winter, shining on people with some warmth.The whole family got up early, and after offering incense and offering sacrifices to the gods, they set out at the auspicious time.
Because of the good weather, Yangzhou and Suzhou are both prosperous places, and the official roads are well built, the Lin family arrived in Gusu in just a day and a half.Lin Zhong also took his servant to greet him outside the city gate.
Lin Zhong's family had already brought people to repair the house first, and had been preparing for several months. When the four members of the Lin family arrived, the house and courtyard had been cleaned up very cleanly, and some of the painted eaves and pavilions had also been repainted. , although it is an old house, it looks brand new.
Lin Ruhai only saw the corrugated eaves from a distance, and couldn't help the tears in his eyes.Since Duke Lin became a marquis, the Lin family has moved to live in the capital, and he only lived in Suzhou during the few years of mourning for his father, but for some reason, he has a deep affection for Suzhou.
When Daiyu saw the ancestral house from a distance, her eyes turned red.In her previous life, she only lived in Suzhou for a very short time when she sent her father back to his hometown for burial.After Jia Lian took care of the Lin family's Suzhou property and his father's funeral, he went north to Beijing and never went south again.
Instead, he traveled to later generations. After retiring from the army, he wanted to visit the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. When he traveled to Suzhou, he searched all the surviving ancient Suzhou gardens, and finally found the ancestral home of the Lin family.In the vicissitudes of life, the ancient Suzhou city has long been hard to find with the historical changes.Only some of the preserved gardens are dotted among the high-rise buildings, telling the story of Gusu in those days.
The old house of the Lin family has changed hands several times, but it has been preserved. It is not a well-known Gusu garden, but it is an unremarkable one among the many ancient buildings in Suzhou. There is an old couple living in it.The Hua Kingdom of the later generations established a prosperous and stable new country after several wars, and it was not easy for the old Lin family house to be preserved.
Daiyu's future generations are thriving and very protective of ancient buildings.Therefore, although there were people living in the old house, the house was not allowed to be demolished or changed, which is why Daiyu recognized the old house, and couldn't help but have rosy eyes as soon as she walked to the door.
The old couple living in the house are very nice. When they saw a girl looking at the door of their house crying, they went up to ask if they had lost something. Do you need any help?Later I heard that the girl's name was Lin Sheng, a retired female soldier, and she became even more enthusiastic. Lin Sheng proposed to rent the old house for a few days, and the old couple hurriedly cleaned up the east wing.I don't want the female soldier Lin Sheng to live in the old house the first night, she traveled back and became Lin Daiyu again.
Recalling the bizarre experience, Daiyu was filled with emotion.The old servant who stayed in Suzhou to look after the house came out early to ask An to carry the luggage and was busy.
Because people were sent here earlier, all the utensils in the house have been cleaned up very well, even the curtains and bedding have been replaced with new ones, which are comfortable and warm.Only in Lin You's room, Daiyu arranged for someone to make the bed again.Because Lin You was young, Daiyu was worried that Lin You would not be able to sleep because of a sudden change of environment, so she brought all his daily utensils and bedding, while her parents and herself kept everything simple, only bringing common clothes and accessories.
Seeing Daiyu being so thoughtful and thoughtful, Jia Min felt a little bit of bitterness in her relief. She is so young and has to take care of a lot of housework. After all, her daughter is dragged down by her illness.
Daiyu naturally didn't feel anything, even when the servants saw that the girl was well-organized, they didn't dare to fool her.
After a night of rest, he got busy the next morning.Lin Ruhai's lineage is the direct branch of the Lin family, and Lin Ruhai is the patriarch. He was away from his hometown all year round, and the affairs of the clan were left to several clan elders to take care of.Now that the patriarch is back, naturally people from the clan will come to greet him every day.
Most of these people were met by Daiyu in her previous life.When I helped the spirits back to their hometown, because Lin Ruhai was the head of the clan, and because of the century-old family business of the Lin family, quite a few of them had a lot of trouble with Jia Lian in their previous lives.But in the previous life, the Zhen family had not yet been convicted, and was the dominant family in the south of the Yangtze River. After the crown prince was convicted, the Lin family could not be reused in the officialdom. With the support of the Zhen family, the Lin family had never fought against Jia Lian.
But even so, there were a few members of the Lin family who made a fuss, and her father's funeral was not very peaceful. Daiyu had no control over everything in her previous life, and she could only cry on her back.
Of course, there are also a few clan elders who are quite conscientious and originally planned to reconcile the matter, but the Zhen family is powerful in the south of the Yangtze River. And Gui, it is said that later he was charged with crimes and simply took away all his family property.These things were discovered after Daiyu begged Baoyu to get a copy of the residence newspaper after the Zhen family was convicted and confiscated.
But at that time, Lin Mu and Jia Lian were fighting, and the Zhen family supported Jia Lian, but none of these people asked the opinion of the maid in the house.
It happened that Lin Mu also came to pay New Year's greetings today, and because Daiyu was young, she gave her palm again, so she didn't avoid it.Lin Mu brought his family here with him, and now the head of the Lin family is returning to his hometown for the New Year. For the sake of celebration, all the juniors who come will be rewarded, just for auspiciousness.For this reason, some families bring as many children as they want to take advantage of it.
It's nothing else, the child is young, even if some people were disgraceful in the fight for property in the previous life, Daiyu didn't care about it, after all, these enmities have not happened in this life, so she smiled and asked the girl to give the red seal.Only Lin Mu had an eldest son named Lin Jinbao, who was fourteen now, and came to beg for reward with a shy face.
Daiyu still remembered that in her previous life, Lin Mufei wanted to adopt Lin Jinbao to her family, and she also found several clan elders to support her.At that time, Lin Jinbao was already twenty-one, glib and smooth-tongued, saying that he would definitely honor his elders and raise his younger sisters.Heh, even after being reborn, Daiyu still thinks that scene is ridiculous.
Lin Jinbao took his brothers and sisters to greet Jia Min, and it was time to meet Daiyu's siblings, but Daiyu said indifferently, "Why didn't this clan brother go to the front yard to have fun?"
This sentence froze Lin Mu's daughter-in-law.Although the people who came these days were all from the same race, and it was not so strict that all the boys who had reached the age of seven went to the front yard, but for those who were a little bit more respectable, all the boys over ten years old were brought to the front yard to meet the male guests in the front yard. one place.This Lin Jinbao came to the backyard with his mother, obviously looking at the rather important red envelope that the Lin family had received for their rare return home.
It would be good if no one breaks it. If it breaks a little bit, the atmosphere will be awkward.Daiyu saw that Lin Jinbao's eyes gradually closed, condensing into two points of resentment.
But when Daiyu thought of the way Lin Jinbao stopped his father's coffin and cried loudly in his previous life, wanting to recognize his father as his father, because of this farce, Lin Ruhai's burial delayed the auspicious time.The ancients paid attention to the fact that if the funeral is delayed, it is a big disaster, but anyone with a bit of humanity will not forget the words "the dead are big".
Even disturbing the cleanliness of the deceased showed that his nature was bad. Dai Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with sweeping Lin Jinbao's face today.Besides, no 14-year-old boy would go to the backyard to beg for a reward for anyone who wants some face.No matter how you say it, the Lin family is a family of scholars, even if Lin Mu sold five clothes, he would not have to embarrass his ancestors like this.
Lin Mu's daughter-in-law quickly came to her senses and sneered, "It turned out that we heard that the patriarch was returning to his hometown, and we came here to have fun, and we were also happy with Lord Xunyan Yushi. It was because we wanted to climb high, but we were not worthy of it! After finishing speaking, he spat at Lin Jinbao, turned around and scolded Lin Jinbao: "What are you doing here? I haven't gone to the front yard to find your father's house. It turns out that we are not worthy of stepping on the golden threshold of the patriarch, nor are we Dare to stay here to be disliked."
Jia Min hurriedly laughed and said, "Yu'er is still young, please don't argue with her sister-in-law."
Lin Jinbao had already turned around and lifted the curtain to go out, and Lin Mu's wife also left with a few children.
The few daughters-in-law who were still present were quite embarrassed, and after saying a few words, they all left with their children.
After all the relatives had dispersed, Jia Min said: "Yu'er, it's a new year, happy day, why bother to save face like that, it's just a festive purse, it's not worth giving it to him."
Daiyu said sternly: "Mother treats people leniently, which is in the mother's interest. But the so-called Shengmi En fights Miqiu, like Lin Jinbao, who has reached the age of marriage, and who disregards the rules and dignity in order to covet two silver peanuts. I am used to taking advantage of it, and I will only get worse in the future. If there is no benefit for him to take advantage of, I will bear a grudge against our family. I am young, and now I have offended people so much, it is better to have no contacts in the future."
Jia Min pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Although Yu'er's words are correct, there is still a saying that she would rather offend a gentleman than a villain. Yu'er has seen the look in the eyes of that Lin boy when he went out just now. There is already a grudge against our family. There is no need to cause grudges in vain for people who can be dismissed with two silver peanuts."
Daiyu lowered her head, inevitably thinking of her past life.In the previous life, the servants of the Rongguo Mansion ran errands and added food to the kitchen, all of which had to be paid by the master. Later, sister Yingchun’s wet nurse stole Lei Jinfeng, and the daughter-in-law pleaded with Yingchun but failed, so she directly arranged two flowers for Yingchun and Xing Yanyan. took money from the people in their room.It can be seen that the villains are all pushy.
So Daiyu said: "Yu'er feels that there is more than one villain in the world who wants to make an inch of it. If Lin Jinbao is rewarded today, tomorrow other families will see that Lin Jinbao has benefited, and they will also bring half of them. You come and go. , It broke the dignity. Instead of telling someone not to tell someone that we pick people to order, it is better to use Lin Jinbao as a raft. Naturally, no one will behave decently for a small profit in the future. Our family is honest and straightforward, so we don’t need to show anyone’s face.”
Jia Min laughed after hearing this, "Come on, it's fine if you send their family away like this today. You are young and have good reasons. If anyone dares to talk, it's her own fault." That's how it happened.
Although Daiyu had the anger of her previous life in her attack this time, she didn't regret that she had ruined her clan's face just after returning to her hometown.In the previous life, those few family members who had spoken for me in the previous life had never taken advantage of such a thing, and they would not be able to offend their offenders; people like Lin Mu, it is not necessarily far away early is bad.
From this incident, it can be seen that reasonable people are always reasonable; and the greedy person has always been hard to change.
After sweeping the face of Lin Mu's family, in the next few days, there were fewer people from the family who visited the door.It was a rare day to go back to her hometown, so Daiyu arranged for her family to go to Panxiang Temple to offer incense.
Miaoyu has been picked up in this life, and the Xing family has not yet rented a house in Panxiang Temple, so it is not surprising that Daiyu has not seen her acquaintances from her previous life.In addition, Panxiang Temple is an excellent place, especially the red plum blossoms in the temple are extremely beautiful, and the top is dotted with white snow, which is too beautiful to behold.
As soon as Daiyu saw this scene, she thought of her previous life. When she was in Changcui Nunnery, Miaoyu treated herself to tea with the red plum snow water collected by Panxiang Temple, which had been treasured for five years.Thinking of this, Daiyu smiled, and narrowly shook the branch of the plum blossoms, and the snow washed down, leaving behind Lin You who followed her head and body.But Daiyu had long since avoided it with a smile.
Lin You didn't like to cry, and since his sister had saved him, his parents always taught Brother Yu to respect and protect his sister, so Lin You just patted the snow on his head and said, "Bad sister." See Daiyu After running away, he raised his foot to chase again.
But Jia Min was afraid that Lin You would catch a cold, so he hurriedly called Lin You to his side, shook the snow off his clothes for him, and wiped the snow on his neck with a handkerchief, which made Lin You shiver from the cold.He said in the mouth: "Yu'er should not be naughty, and catch cold carefully in the cold weather."
Speaking of catching a cold, Daiyu remembered that at this time in previous years, she had been suffering from constant coughing, how could she play in the snow like this.But this year, I am not only not as afraid of the cold as in my previous life, I am also not as weak and lacking energy as in my previous life. I have been busy for a long time at the end of the year, and I don't feel tired. It can be seen that Liu Langzhong's medical skills are extremely high, and the diet prescriptions are also very good.
Daiyu hoped that the Liu family's medical skills would be better, so that Jia Min could get rid of the root cause of the disease. "Mom, don't bother talking about me. My mother has recovered a little bit, and she can't stand in the snow for too long. Hurry up and go into the meditation room to warm up."
Seeing this, Lin Ruhai felt extremely happy and satisfied.But he also knew that the case of private salt would not be fixed for a day, and the Lin family would not have real peace and joy.Even in the past few days when he returned home with his family, Lin Ruhai also knew that Zhen Yingjia's people had been staring at him.
Now the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is undercurrent, and it is necessary to pass this hurdle well in order to protect his wife and children.Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai looked in the direction of Yangzhou, but he didn't know if Liu Xing started to move on the other side of Yangzhou.
Ever since the news came back from Suzhou that Su Lan had disappeared, Zhen Yingjia didn't dare to relax and stare at Lin Ruhai for a day.When the Lin family returned to their hometown, Zhen Yingjia's people followed them all the time.
While the Zhen family was keeping a close eye on the Lin family, Liu Xing's family also packed their bags, preparing to go to Beijing to seek refuge in the government of Liguo after the New Year's Eve.Naturally, the most important thing is to send Su Lan who is hiding in the Liu family to Beijing.
It is also because the paddock is large, with high mountains and dense forests, many participants, many people who are skilled in martial arts, and everyone carries bows and arrows. Once there is a disorder in the paddock, it will be a chaos. How can Lin Ruhai not be alarmed?
"Why did Yu'er say that?" Although Lin Ruhai asked this, but he was an extremely intelligent and agile person, and he also had a faint feeling in his heart. It's just that he had been an official for many years, and he only wanted the government and the public to live in peace, so he resisted such speculation in his heart.
Daiyu was different. After she traveled back, she thought about many things clearly.In the previous life, the prince was imprisoned in the middle of winter, which happened to be shortly after returning to Beijing after hunting in Iron Net Mountain.Now it's only early autumn, and the hunting team has set off, so the so-called bad things about the prince are mostly in Iron Net Mountain.
Naturally, Daiyu didn't talk about the past life, but said: "Father came to the south of the Yangtze River from the emperor's order. As soon as he stood on his feet, something happened to Brother You. If Fu Shi's treacherous plan succeeds, the matter of Brother You will be destroyed. It's an accident, maybe the other party can keep calm for a few more days. However, our family has found out about Brother Yu, and the other party also knows that his father will not give up, and as far as the other party is concerned, Miss Su Lan has disappeared. Once this involves the matter behind it, the other party will lose the opportunity. If I plan this matter, I will definitely give it a go."
Lin Ruhai naturally understood this truth, and sighed: "It's a pity that our family is far away from the capital, and news from Iron Net Mountain is inconvenient, and it's beyond our reach." After a pause, he smiled again: "It's not our family's turn to worry about this matter. Why bother. Such a large-scale hunting, how many imperial guards will go there, even if someone jumps over the wall in a hurry, it may not be able to accomplish anything."
When the emperor goes out, the guards are so thorough, it is natural for this reason, but something happened in the previous life.Daiyu still remembered the icy face and serious eyes when her father changed his mind and wanted to send her to Beijing.But in this life, the Lin family has already reminded Donggong, hoping that Donggong can avoid risks.If Donggong didn't even have this sensitivity and insight, if he escaped this time, he wouldn't be able to escape the next time.
The position of crown prince, before taking power, was already full of risks.
Daiyu knew that the trip to Iron Net Mountain would not be so peaceful, but Lin Ruhai's words comforted Jia Min, and the life of the Lin family did not change because of the advance of the trip to Iron Net Mountain.
The Lin family couldn't get involved in the matter of Iron Net Mountain, so Daiyu simply put the matter aside.People began to go back to the old house in Suzhou to repair and tidy up the house.
The Lin family hadn't been back to Suzhou for many years, but because Yangzhou was not far from Suzhou because they were transferred to the Xunyan Yushi, they planned to return to their hometown for the New Year this year.There are not as many holidays and holidays in the yamen as in later generations, but because the new year is a big festival, the holidays are extremely long.From the 24th of the twelfth lunar month to the [-]th day of the first lunar month, it was after the Lantern Festival, and it took a day's correction before the official opening of the government office.
In the past, the Lin family was either in the capital or Jiujiang, and they had more than 20 days of vacation and had no chance to return home. Now Yangzhou is only two days away from Suzhou, but they can return home to worship their ancestors.Since there was only one servant in the old house who looked after the house, and she didn't know whether the owner was tired after not returning home for many years, Daiyu arranged for someone to go back first.
Over the past few months, the Lin family has received two letters from the capital.
The person who sent the letter was sent by Zhang Yan and Zhang Shilang's house, first the eldest son of Zhang Taizi and Taifu, and Jia Lian's uncle.Speaking of which, the Zhang family and the Jia family were estranged, because the former prince Taifu was also Lin Ruhai's tutor, and had always been in contact with the Lin family.
Someone from the Zhang family sent two gifts, and Daiyu presented the letter to Lin Ruhai. One of them was naturally given by the Zhang family, and the other was given by Jia Lian and his wife, because Jia Lian only went south this year. In order to send someone again, I borrowed the people from the Zhang family to send the gifts and letters.
The letter from the Zhang family does not need to be detailed, it is nothing more than the same holiday greetings as in previous years, plus a few words of thanks to the Lin family for taking care of their nephew.But the letter from Jia Lian made Jia Min very happy.
The letter said that after Jia Lian had been taught by her aunt, she had realized something, and had invited her husband to worship at home. It also mentioned that Sister Feng was pregnant.Jia Lian was not considered a literary talent, but the letter was written by himself, and he thanked Jia Min sincerely.
When she heard that the letters from the Zhang family and Jia Lian had been sent together, Daiyu knew that Jia Lian had followed her mother's advice and had gone to her uncle's house.But what Daiyu didn't expect was that Sister Feng was pregnant so soon.
In the previous life, Jia Lian and his wife got Qiaojie several years later, but in this life, it was several years earlier.Regardless of whether Sister Feng conceived naturally or listened to her mother's advice and paid attention to her diet, Jia Lian and his wife would inevitably suspect that someone had tampered with what Jia Min said before.From then on, not to mention Jia Lian, even Sister Feng would have to be on guard against Aunt Wang.
Naturally, the Lin family would love to hear that the chief house and the second house of the Rongguo Mansion could be separated.
If you ask Daiyu to say that the daughters of the Wang family are too ignorant of the law, the Wang family naturally does not take human lives seriously, and Sister Feng is not less involved in the bad habits of the Wang family, exploiting profits and taking lawsuits.In the previous life, Jia's family was romantic and scattered, although the family did not have a man who could stand upright, and the children and grandchildren did not live up to expectations, but many crimes were caused by the aunt and nephew.
In this life, I hope that Sister Feng's housekeeper has not been contaminated with evil things in a few days, otherwise the Jia family will not repeat the mistakes of the previous life.
If it is said that Jia Lian and his wife are two, it is really too late to do evil in this life.Now that Jia's family is still a bit wealthy, and there is still money to be made, Wang is reluctant to let go of power, because Sister Feng is learning how to handle errands, and she is afraid that she will not be careful. Husband and wife are big, can do evil things.Sister Feng of the later generations took over the lawsuit after Jia Wang saw that the Rongguo Mansion was unable to make ends meet, so she gave up her pick.
The two letters from the capital were considered good news, and the sender was rewarded, and Lin Ruhai wrote the letter back to Zhang Yan, and the husband and wife wrote letters to Jia Lian, and the Zhang family took them back to Beijing.
After the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month, everyone in the Lin family was beaming with joy. Although Daiyu was from Suzhou, in her previous life she was accompanied by Jia Lian and returned to her hometown to bury her father after her father passed away. She stayed in Suzhou for a while.After entering Beijing again, he never left Beijing until his death.Lin You has never been to his hometown for a day.As the day of departure is approaching, everyone from the master to the servants is full of joy.
The carriages and horses to be taken to Suzhou have already been packed.Waking up in the morning on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, a piece of morning light actually shone in the winter, shining on people with some warmth.The whole family got up early, and after offering incense and offering sacrifices to the gods, they set out at the auspicious time.
Because of the good weather, Yangzhou and Suzhou are both prosperous places, and the official roads are well built, the Lin family arrived in Gusu in just a day and a half.Lin Zhong also took his servant to greet him outside the city gate.
Lin Zhong's family had already brought people to repair the house first, and had been preparing for several months. When the four members of the Lin family arrived, the house and courtyard had been cleaned up very cleanly, and some of the painted eaves and pavilions had also been repainted. , although it is an old house, it looks brand new.

Instead, he traveled to later generations. After retiring from the army, he wanted to visit the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. When he traveled to Suzhou, he searched all the surviving ancient Suzhou gardens, and finally found the ancestral home of the Lin family.In the vicissitudes of life, the ancient Suzhou city has long been hard to find with the historical changes.Only some of the preserved gardens are dotted among the high-rise buildings, telling the story of Gusu in those days.
The old house of the Lin family has changed hands several times, but it has been preserved. It is not a well-known Gusu garden, but it is an unremarkable one among the many ancient buildings in Suzhou. There is an old couple living in it.The Hua Kingdom of the later generations established a prosperous and stable new country after several wars, and it was not easy for the old Lin family house to be preserved.
Daiyu's future generations are thriving and very protective of ancient buildings.Therefore, although there were people living in the old house, the house was not allowed to be demolished or changed, which is why Daiyu recognized the old house, and couldn't help but have rosy eyes as soon as she walked to the door.
The old couple living in the house are very nice. When they saw a girl looking at the door of their house crying, they went up to ask if they had lost something. Do you need any help?Later I heard that the girl's name was Lin Sheng, a retired female soldier, and she became even more enthusiastic. Lin Sheng proposed to rent the old house for a few days, and the old couple hurriedly cleaned up the east wing.I don't want the female soldier Lin Sheng to live in the old house the first night, she traveled back and became Lin Daiyu again.
Recalling the bizarre experience, Daiyu was filled with emotion.The old servant who stayed in Suzhou to look after the house came out early to ask An to carry the luggage and was busy.
Because people were sent here earlier, all the utensils in the house have been cleaned up very well, even the curtains and bedding have been replaced with new ones, which are comfortable and warm.Only in Lin You's room, Daiyu arranged for someone to make the bed again.Because Lin You was young, Daiyu was worried that Lin You would not be able to sleep because of a sudden change of environment, so she brought all his daily utensils and bedding, while her parents and herself kept everything simple, only bringing common clothes and accessories.
Seeing Daiyu being so thoughtful and thoughtful, Jia Min felt a little bit of bitterness in her relief. She is so young and has to take care of a lot of housework. After all, her daughter is dragged down by her illness.
Daiyu naturally didn't feel anything, even when the servants saw that the girl was well-organized, they didn't dare to fool her.
After a night of rest, he got busy the next morning.Lin Ruhai's lineage is the direct branch of the Lin family, and Lin Ruhai is the patriarch. He was away from his hometown all year round, and the affairs of the clan were left to several clan elders to take care of.Now that the patriarch is back, naturally people from the clan will come to greet him every day.
Most of these people were met by Daiyu in her previous life.When I helped the spirits back to their hometown, because Lin Ruhai was the head of the clan, and because of the century-old family business of the Lin family, quite a few of them had a lot of trouble with Jia Lian in their previous lives.But in the previous life, the Zhen family had not yet been convicted, and was the dominant family in the south of the Yangtze River. After the crown prince was convicted, the Lin family could not be reused in the officialdom. With the support of the Zhen family, the Lin family had never fought against Jia Lian.
But even so, there were a few members of the Lin family who made a fuss, and her father's funeral was not very peaceful. Daiyu had no control over everything in her previous life, and she could only cry on her back.
Of course, there are also a few clan elders who are quite conscientious and originally planned to reconcile the matter, but the Zhen family is powerful in the south of the Yangtze River. And Gui, it is said that later he was charged with crimes and simply took away all his family property.These things were discovered after Daiyu begged Baoyu to get a copy of the residence newspaper after the Zhen family was convicted and confiscated.
But at that time, Lin Mu and Jia Lian were fighting, and the Zhen family supported Jia Lian, but none of these people asked the opinion of the maid in the house.
It happened that Lin Mu also came to pay New Year's greetings today, and because Daiyu was young, she gave her palm again, so she didn't avoid it.Lin Mu brought his family here with him, and now the head of the Lin family is returning to his hometown for the New Year. For the sake of celebration, all the juniors who come will be rewarded, just for auspiciousness.For this reason, some families bring as many children as they want to take advantage of it.
It's nothing else, the child is young, even if some people were disgraceful in the fight for property in the previous life, Daiyu didn't care about it, after all, these enmities have not happened in this life, so she smiled and asked the girl to give the red seal.Only Lin Mu had an eldest son named Lin Jinbao, who was fourteen now, and came to beg for reward with a shy face.
Daiyu still remembered that in her previous life, Lin Mufei wanted to adopt Lin Jinbao to her family, and she also found several clan elders to support her.At that time, Lin Jinbao was already twenty-one, glib and smooth-tongued, saying that he would definitely honor his elders and raise his younger sisters.Heh, even after being reborn, Daiyu still thinks that scene is ridiculous.
Lin Jinbao took his brothers and sisters to greet Jia Min, and it was time to meet Daiyu's siblings, but Daiyu said indifferently, "Why didn't this clan brother go to the front yard to have fun?"
This sentence froze Lin Mu's daughter-in-law.Although the people who came these days were all from the same race, and it was not so strict that all the boys who had reached the age of seven went to the front yard, but for those who were a little bit more respectable, all the boys over ten years old were brought to the front yard to meet the male guests in the front yard. one place.This Lin Jinbao came to the backyard with his mother, obviously looking at the rather important red envelope that the Lin family had received for their rare return home.
It would be good if no one breaks it. If it breaks a little bit, the atmosphere will be awkward.Daiyu saw that Lin Jinbao's eyes gradually closed, condensing into two points of resentment.
But when Daiyu thought of the way Lin Jinbao stopped his father's coffin and cried loudly in his previous life, wanting to recognize his father as his father, because of this farce, Lin Ruhai's burial delayed the auspicious time.The ancients paid attention to the fact that if the funeral is delayed, it is a big disaster, but anyone with a bit of humanity will not forget the words "the dead are big".
Even disturbing the cleanliness of the deceased showed that his nature was bad. Dai Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with sweeping Lin Jinbao's face today.Besides, no 14-year-old boy would go to the backyard to beg for a reward for anyone who wants some face.No matter how you say it, the Lin family is a family of scholars, even if Lin Mu sold five clothes, he would not have to embarrass his ancestors like this.
Lin Mu's daughter-in-law quickly came to her senses and sneered, "It turned out that we heard that the patriarch was returning to his hometown, and we came here to have fun, and we were also happy with Lord Xunyan Yushi. It was because we wanted to climb high, but we were not worthy of it! After finishing speaking, he spat at Lin Jinbao, turned around and scolded Lin Jinbao: "What are you doing here? I haven't gone to the front yard to find your father's house. It turns out that we are not worthy of stepping on the golden threshold of the patriarch, nor are we Dare to stay here to be disliked."
Jia Min hurriedly laughed and said, "Yu'er is still young, please don't argue with her sister-in-law."
Lin Jinbao had already turned around and lifted the curtain to go out, and Lin Mu's wife also left with a few children.
The few daughters-in-law who were still present were quite embarrassed, and after saying a few words, they all left with their children.
After all the relatives had dispersed, Jia Min said: "Yu'er, it's a new year, happy day, why bother to save face like that, it's just a festive purse, it's not worth giving it to him."
Daiyu said sternly: "Mother treats people leniently, which is in the mother's interest. But the so-called Shengmi En fights Miqiu, like Lin Jinbao, who has reached the age of marriage, and who disregards the rules and dignity in order to covet two silver peanuts. I am used to taking advantage of it, and I will only get worse in the future. If there is no benefit for him to take advantage of, I will bear a grudge against our family. I am young, and now I have offended people so much, it is better to have no contacts in the future."
Jia Min pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Although Yu'er's words are correct, there is still a saying that she would rather offend a gentleman than a villain. Yu'er has seen the look in the eyes of that Lin boy when he went out just now. There is already a grudge against our family. There is no need to cause grudges in vain for people who can be dismissed with two silver peanuts."
Daiyu lowered her head, inevitably thinking of her past life.In the previous life, the servants of the Rongguo Mansion ran errands and added food to the kitchen, all of which had to be paid by the master. Later, sister Yingchun’s wet nurse stole Lei Jinfeng, and the daughter-in-law pleaded with Yingchun but failed, so she directly arranged two flowers for Yingchun and Xing Yanyan. took money from the people in their room.It can be seen that the villains are all pushy.
So Daiyu said: "Yu'er feels that there is more than one villain in the world who wants to make an inch of it. If Lin Jinbao is rewarded today, tomorrow other families will see that Lin Jinbao has benefited, and they will also bring half of them. You come and go. , It broke the dignity. Instead of telling someone not to tell someone that we pick people to order, it is better to use Lin Jinbao as a raft. Naturally, no one will behave decently for a small profit in the future. Our family is honest and straightforward, so we don’t need to show anyone’s face.”
Jia Min laughed after hearing this, "Come on, it's fine if you send their family away like this today. You are young and have good reasons. If anyone dares to talk, it's her own fault." That's how it happened.
Although Daiyu had the anger of her previous life in her attack this time, she didn't regret that she had ruined her clan's face just after returning to her hometown.In the previous life, those few family members who had spoken for me in the previous life had never taken advantage of such a thing, and they would not be able to offend their offenders; people like Lin Mu, it is not necessarily far away early is bad.
From this incident, it can be seen that reasonable people are always reasonable; and the greedy person has always been hard to change.
After sweeping the face of Lin Mu's family, in the next few days, there were fewer people from the family who visited the door.It was a rare day to go back to her hometown, so Daiyu arranged for her family to go to Panxiang Temple to offer incense.
Miaoyu has been picked up in this life, and the Xing family has not yet rented a house in Panxiang Temple, so it is not surprising that Daiyu has not seen her acquaintances from her previous life.In addition, Panxiang Temple is an excellent place, especially the red plum blossoms in the temple are extremely beautiful, and the top is dotted with white snow, which is too beautiful to behold.
As soon as Daiyu saw this scene, she thought of her previous life. When she was in Changcui Nunnery, Miaoyu treated herself to tea with the red plum snow water collected by Panxiang Temple, which had been treasured for five years.Thinking of this, Daiyu smiled, and narrowly shook the branch of the plum blossoms, and the snow washed down, leaving behind Lin You who followed her head and body.But Daiyu had long since avoided it with a smile.
Lin You didn't like to cry, and since his sister had saved him, his parents always taught Brother Yu to respect and protect his sister, so Lin You just patted the snow on his head and said, "Bad sister." See Daiyu After running away, he raised his foot to chase again.
But Jia Min was afraid that Lin You would catch a cold, so he hurriedly called Lin You to his side, shook the snow off his clothes for him, and wiped the snow on his neck with a handkerchief, which made Lin You shiver from the cold.He said in the mouth: "Yu'er should not be naughty, and catch cold carefully in the cold weather."
Speaking of catching a cold, Daiyu remembered that at this time in previous years, she had been suffering from constant coughing, how could she play in the snow like this.But this year, I am not only not as afraid of the cold as in my previous life, I am also not as weak and lacking energy as in my previous life. I have been busy for a long time at the end of the year, and I don't feel tired. It can be seen that Liu Langzhong's medical skills are extremely high, and the diet prescriptions are also very good.
Daiyu hoped that the Liu family's medical skills would be better, so that Jia Min could get rid of the root cause of the disease. "Mom, don't bother talking about me. My mother has recovered a little bit, and she can't stand in the snow for too long. Hurry up and go into the meditation room to warm up."
Seeing this, Lin Ruhai felt extremely happy and satisfied.But he also knew that the case of private salt would not be fixed for a day, and the Lin family would not have real peace and joy.Even in the past few days when he returned home with his family, Lin Ruhai also knew that Zhen Yingjia's people had been staring at him.
Now the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is undercurrent, and it is necessary to pass this hurdle well in order to protect his wife and children.Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai looked in the direction of Yangzhou, but he didn't know if Liu Xing started to move on the other side of Yangzhou.
Ever since the news came back from Suzhou that Su Lan had disappeared, Zhen Yingjia didn't dare to relax and stare at Lin Ruhai for a day.When the Lin family returned to their hometown, Zhen Yingjia's people followed them all the time.
While the Zhen family was keeping a close eye on the Lin family, Liu Xing's family also packed their bags, preparing to go to Beijing to seek refuge in the government of Liguo after the New Year's Eve.Naturally, the most important thing is to send Su Lan who is hiding in the Liu family to Beijing.
