New Dream of Red Mansions

Mr. Qi smiled and said: "Now you can rest assured? Lin Yuan is a firm-minded and loving person. With him taking care of him, Miss Lin will at least have no worries about food and clothing in the future. His brothers are all good-natured. "

Lin Ruhai nodded in satisfaction, "Then let him be settled, Lin Zhong, you can send them away tomorrow, it's already spring, and things in the field will start to get busy."

Lin Zhong nodded.

The faces of the Lin family from Jinling were a little ugly, and a few clever people took some money and stuffed it in Lin Zhong's hands, and asked in a low voice: "I don't know whose child the fifth brother chose, let's go back Do you want to prepare something? Could it be that the Jia family in the capital said something?"

It's no wonder that they were thinking wildly. During this period of time, the servants from Jia's house had different noses and eyes. Moreover, it was true that Lin Ruhai sent them away shortly after receiving the letter from the capital.

Seeing that the clothes on them were not very good, Lin Zhong sighed slightly in his heart, stuffed the money back, and said: "Don't think wildly, our master already has a plan in mind, and this period of time has also delayed everyone's work in the field. Our master said that every family can get a subsidy of 100 taels when they leave here, and our girl will need the help of uncles and brothers in the future."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and their expressions of reluctance changed instantly. After all, there is only one heir, and only that family can benefit. But the hundred taels of silver is different. This is a real favor, at least enough for them to spend It's been two years, and during this time, they have eaten delicious food at the Lin family, and they have not lost anything.

The eyes of the twins also lit up, and they whispered to Lin Yuan, "Brother, in this way we will have money to rent a house."

Although Lin Yuan was also excited in his heart, he didn't show it like his younger brothers. Instead, he nodded and said, "So we must remember Fifth Uncle's kindness."

The twins nodded again and again, and the ignorant Lin Sheng also nodded.Lin Yuan gently patted his younger brother's head.

When the Lin family was sent away, Lin Yuan was about to take his younger brothers to leave, but Lin Zhong said: "Master Yuan, Master Zhi, Master Hui, Master Sheng, our master wants to see some young masters."

Lin Yuan was suddenly startled. Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Lin Yuan subconsciously squeezed his younger brother's hand. He is the eldest son. If he is adopted... Lin Yuan's face turned pale.

Before coming, he hoped that one of his younger brothers would be adopted, so that at least four of them could be kept alive, but now he has the means to make a living, even though he is only a deputy now, he can barely live on. In this way, Lin Yuan is not very willing to be adopted.

It would be fine if the younger brothers were adopted, he could stay and take care of the remaining two younger brothers, but just now Steward Lin was paying attention to him the whole time...

After thinking about it all the way, although he felt that breaking the promise was immoral, but looking at the three younger brothers, Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and decided that even if he became a villain, he could not agree to Uncle Wu.

Lin Hui has been smart since he was a child, and he also vaguely sensed something, and moved a little uneasy, his palms were full of sweat, what if Uncle Wu forced his elder brother to adopt him?

Once they are adopted, the eldest brother will cut off ties with them, and if he takes care of them in the future, he will be said to be subsidizing them with things from the fifth uncle's family. The eldest brother has always been upright, so he will definitely not be able to bear it...

Then I was a little confused. Didn't the patriarch grandpa say that adoptive children are all younger children?So Lin Yuan is the oldest among the children who came this time. They are both 14 years old. Even the twins are also very old. They are both ten years old. On the eldest brother?

Only Lin Zhi and Lin Sheng sat in the carriage carefree and took the dim sum in the carriage and ate it carefully. Lin Sheng kept stuffing the dim sum into his eldest brother's mouth, and Lin Zhi also gave his twin brother a sip from time to time. food.

Lin Ruhai looked at the nervous four brothers, and said with a smile: "Isn't Yu'er just wanting to meet her cousins? Lin Zhong, ask someone to take the three children to Yu'er's place. The older brother is weak, and the girl should take care of him more." Some."

"Yes." Lin Zhong agreed, and was going to hug Lin Sheng.

The three brothers looked at the elder brother nervously, Lin Yuan smiled at them comfortingly, and said, "Go, listen to my sister."

Immediately, only Lin Ruhai and Lin Yuan were left in the room.

Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Yuan who was like a pine tree with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I want to adopt one of your brothers, but it won't be you." Lin Ruhai explained gently: "You are the eldest son. There is no reason to adopt someone else's eldest son, not to mention, you have to take care of several of your brothers, if you become my heir, it will be inconvenient."

Lin Yuan opened his mouth slightly, staring at Lin Ruhai in a daze.

Lin Ruhai smiled wryly. In fact, he has many ways to make Lin Yuan feel grateful to him. For example, he can arrange for people to make them unable to survive in Yangzhou, and he rescued them at a critical moment, or he could act like a god when Lin Sheng fell ill. But he didn't want to do it like this. During this period of time, he could see clearly that Lin Yuanfang was more than straight, but not round enough.

The best way for such a person is to be honest, and he doesn't have enough time to arrange these things. After adopting the child, he still has a lot of things to do.

"You must be wondering why I told you these things, right? Lin Yuan, you have to remember that a gentleman is upright and can tell others everything, and you are upright, why can't you tell others?"

Lin Yuan restrained his expression, these words were the same as what his father taught him before.Lin Yuan saluted solemnly: "Thank you, Uncle Wu, my nephew has been educated!"

Lin Ruhai nodded slightly, and said: "This time it is my selfishness. There are so many people in the family, and the only person I am satisfied with is you. My days are not long. I only hope that Yu'er can have a brother who can stand up to her." It’s just that you are the eldest son after all, and I can’t do it even if I want to. Fortunately, your brothers are all good, but I can only ask you for some things!”

Lin Ruhai's expression became serious, and Lin Yuan also listened to Lin Ruhai's words with a serious face.

In a yard not far away, Daiyu was holding Lin Sheng on her lap with great effort, carefully feeding him bird's nest porridge, seeing his pale face, looking at her with wet eyes, her heart softened, and she wiped him. Wiping the corner of his mouth, he asked softly, "Is it delicious?"

Lin Sheng nodded fiercely.

Daiyu just glanced at the twin brother who was already looking at her with an empty bowl, and said with a smile: "It's delicious, we'll eat it at night, but now we can't eat it, so be careful and fill your stomach, come, my sister will rub your stomach .”

Although Lin Sheng was already five years old, but because of his congenitally unhealthy health and poor recuperation, he looked like he was only three years old. Daiyu was not at all male or female, and the people around him didn't think there was anything wrong with her.

Xiyan looked at it from the side and smiled: "When they rest for a while, take them to the back garden for a walk, so as not to accumulate food, and they will not be able to eat at night."

Daiyu nodded repeatedly.

Lin Hui glanced at Lin Yuan's direction worriedly, Xiyan noticed it, and stepped forward to pat his head amusingly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there has been a saying since ancient times that you can't be the eldest son." Lin Hui first relaxed tone, and then a little uncomfortable, do they brothers want to separate?

Lin Hui reluctantly glanced at her elder brother and younger brother. Although she didn't want to, this was their initial choice, wasn't it? Speaking of which, the situation is now much better than before.
