"Yes, good daughter, smart!"

Lin Hai never hesitated to praise children.

"Daddy is trapped in Yangzhou. When the government is stabilized today and the time comes, it's time to liquidate Daddy. Liquidate the support he gave to the other princes who seized the throne. That would be a dead end."

"Then how did dad escape the dead end in Yangzhou?"

"Exchange."

Daiyu's starry eyes.

"Daddy, what did you exchange?"

"It's late today, you should go back to sleep, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Father, tell me. You told your daughter, otherwise you won't be able to sleep when you go back."

Daiyu tugged at Lin Hai's sleeve and acted like a baby.

"Okay, okay, okay. I'll tell you all. But after you hear this, you can't treat yourself like a child in the future."

"He's not a child anymore."

"Yan Yan, Daddy should tell you these things. In order to return to the capital, Daddy agreed to Mr. Li and the former head of the Imperial Academy in exchange for marrying your mother as his stepmother. He came forward and transferred Daddy back to the capital. However, father has been away for many years, and he has been a lone minister who has been adhering to neutrality. There is no one in the court to speak for father. Half a year later, it was your uncle and Uncle Cheng who helped bring father back. But father must remarry. You Understand? Not your current mother, it will be someone else."

"Understood. Only by remarrying father can the Lin family inherit the incense. It is more beneficial for the Lin family's legitimate son to become an official than the concubine son. Moreover, only the mother can take her daughter to participate in the walks between orders. There are also those courteous exchanges between officials and eunuchs. I want my mother to come forward. These gentlemen have taught me. Lian’s second sister-in-law and Mrs. Qiao have also told Yan Yan that the Lin family must have a son, so that they can go to the husband’s house to support their daughter in the future.”

"Yeah, Yanyan is a child who understands. Look, daddy will marry whoever he marries. Why don't you use your own marriage to return to Beijing? In this world, as long as there are benefits, there will be people who flock to them and exchange them." .There is nothing, it cannot be exchanged."

"Father, are you wronged?" Daiyu looked at Lin Hai's face, thinking about the past between her father and mother, those tacit smiles, and asked cautiously.

"I'm not wronged." Lin Hai patted Daiyu's head. "How can you be wronged? Marrying high and marrying low is the normal state of marriage. What's more, this is a consensual exchange?! I was afraid of being wronged, so I wouldn't agree to the exchange at the beginning. And, Yan Yan, look, your mother has already given birth to you You have two younger brothers, and she will give you another two soon. From the point of view of inheriting the incense, Dad will confess to her and the ministers who have made contributions to the Lin family."

"What Daddy said is true." Daiyu had long understood the importance of younger brothers.

"Will Daddy forget mother and younger brother?"

"No. Daddy told you a long time ago that he wants to adopt a child and be the heir to the first eldest house. Daddy and your uncle have discussed it. When you have a second son in the future, your uncle will discuss it with your uncle Cheng." , arrange him to be your mother's heir. Such a heir, with your mother's blood inheritance, is what your mother and your younger brother would like to see."

Daiyu twitched and asked worriedly, "Will mother agree?"

"Daddy agreed to your mother, and will adopt a child to inherit incense for the Ji family. Daddy originally planned to adopt your second brother's child, but unexpectedly, your mother is pregnant with twins. In this way, one of the twins will be adopted. Daddy will leave a message on the Lin family tree, and the Ji family will be a branch of the Lin family in the future, and he will get the same property share as your fourth brother."

Daiyu nodded.

"Yanyan, you should keep this matter in your heart first, and don't tell anyone. You have to wait for your uncle to find a chance to do it."

"Dad, don't worry, my daughter understands the seriousness of this matter. But, Dad, is this related to Fairy Jing Huan?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Daddy, if you hadn't left Yangzhou, would Uncle treat me like this? And Cousin Lian?"

"Good girl, so smart. Think for yourself."

Daiyu thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Probably not."

"Yes. If your eldest uncle doesn't transfer Daddy back, Daddy won't care about him either. He'll just stay in the East Yard and wait for exile later."

"Father, why will Uncle be exiled in the future?"

"Yan Yan, you should know some things about your grandparent's family by now. Your mother is in the boudoir and has a bad relationship with your second aunt. Your mother is a talented woman who is well-known in the capital, and the Wang family educates their daughter as a woman. No talent is virtue. Your mother had a miscarriage when she returned to Rongguo Mansion to celebrate your grandmother's [-]th birthday when she was five months pregnant in the third year of her marriage to the Lin family. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find out the reason. If your elder brother can survive, he will be older than your cousin Lian. The truth is only known after Dad returned to Beijing from Yangzhou."

"Father, what's the truth?" Daiyu grabbed Lin Hai's hand vigorously. If she had an elder brother who was older than Cousin Lian, wouldn't her mother die so early, wouldn't her younger brother also die?

"The truth is extremely simple. Your second aunt doesn't want to see your mother proud."

"Ah?!" Dai Yu seemed to be hit hard, "Daddy, is this true?"

"That's right. A few years ago, your eldest uncle told Dad that your grandmother said it was your second aunt who did it. Dad asked the Xue family, and Dad asked several parties to confirm the matter. Only then did he figure it out."

"No wonder the second aunt said that her daughter's temper is a little bit too big. The original daughter thought that she was just partial to her son. But did Daddy just forget it? Let her die. Daddy should have told her daughter earlier, she decided to be Brother and mother are going to take revenge."

"She didn't die at the end of her life. Daddy and your uncle sent so many tonics to make her suffer alive. Unexpectedly, she died early."

"Daddy said the second aunt's illness?"

"She is not sick, but poisoned. She drowned your eldest uncle's eldest son, and dragged your eldest aunt to premature birth. Your eldest uncle knows the truth, how could he let her go!"

"Daddy, why is she so bad?"

Lin Hai was silent.He also wanted to know why the Wang family wanted to attack Jia Min.

"Yan Yan, drowning your eldest uncle's eldest son involves the abolition of the crown prince at that time. The old man of the Zhang family is the crown prince and Taifu. The saint is in his prime, but the prince has grown up. The saint put the Taifu's family in prison , your eldest uncle is running for the Yue family. Your grandmother was afraid that her family would be dragged down, so she acquiesced to your second aunt's actions."

"Grandmother acquiesced?" Daiyu's eyes widened in surprise.

"For the sake of the hundreds of people in the Ningrong Second Mansion and the thousands of people in the Jia family, she had no choice but to make this choice. First, your eldest aunt fell ill due to an accident for the eldest son, and gave birth to your cousin Lian prematurely. Your eldest uncle was indeed dragged in But after the Tai Tuo committed suicide in prison, your eldest aunt died first, and then your grandfather. Your grandfather was heartbroken for his eldest grandson and caused old illnesses."

"Daddy," Daiyu tugged at her father's sleeve, not knowing what to say.

"Your grandfather and your grandfather were both accompanied by the emperor. At that time, the emperor cared about the veteran, and the Zhang family was able to return to their original place. When the crown prince was abolished, many people were questioned, dismissed from office, and exiled..."

Seeing that Daiyu was listening seriously, Lin Hai simply told her the truth.

"Father got your grandfather's legacy, so his official career went smoothly during his exile a few years ago. After returning to Beijing, he struggled to get into the current situation because he was under the current command. And now, the two current princes, He is already an adult. A few more little princes have been added to the palace. Maybe at some point, the old incident of abolishing the crown prince will repeat itself. Your Uncle Cheng is studying with you today. Enter the cabinet. And the eldest uncle will also enter the cabinet after the minister of the Ministry of War. So, Yan Yan, you alone have implicated three cabinet ministers. In the eyes of outsiders, you are still a trusted cabinet minister. Your every move When you move out, you must be extremely careful when you go out to the family you have a good relationship with. When you marry into the Cheng family in the future, even though you are marrying the second son, you must have a charter in your heart for matters related to government affairs: Royal affairs, if you can not participate If you don't participate, you can hide as far as you can. Never be greedy for the achievements of the dragon. Remember?"

"Dad, don't worry, my daughter will definitely remember it firmly."

"Also, Yan Yan, when you encounter problems in the future, you have to learn from your grandmother."

"Learning from my grandmother?"

"Like your grandmother's decision. Give up a grandson to save the whole family. At that time, your eldest uncle was the companion of the abolished prince, and Master Jing of the Ning Mansion was a subject of the abolished prince's east palace. Take your uncle as the Yue family Running around, it is bound to drag the Ningrong and Rongfu into trouble."

"But that's my grandmother's grandson?!"

"Yanyan, if Ningrong and Rongfu are dragged into the water, not only will you not be able to keep your uncle's eldest son, but you will also have two sons, another grandson, and a granddaughter. Yanyan, are you willing to give up one, or are you willing to give up everything?"

"Daddy, this, this is terrible!"

"Hehe. Good girl, others envy the goodness of the minister and the high position of the cabinet minister. I don't know how many people have worked hard all their lives to be the minister and the cabinet minister. But once they are involved in the battle for the throne, like the old master, they will give up one person." He was the only one who protected the family. At that time, I did not know how many officials suffered disasters."

"Daddy, like you used to, it's not okay to be a lone minister by being neutral in the open."

"That's right. It wasn't possible before. In the future, Daddy can only be a lone minister, and only loyal to a sage can keep the whole family safe. Even you, Uncle Cheng and your eldest uncle, can only do the same thing as Daddy."

"Daughter remembers."

"Okay, keep these words in mind. If you don't understand anything in the future, ask daddy and go back to sleep."

"it is good."

Lin Hai sent Daiyu and his party back to her yard.

Under the melting moonlight, Lin Hai walked slowly towards the study.He knew that Daiyu could remember his words, and he would try his best to do so.Since Daiyu is bound to be unable to be an idle girl playing piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and wine, it is better to let her get to know her early. Her future life will be inseparable from the change of government and the throne.
