'Lin Daiyu' of the Red Chamber

Daiyu drank a bowl of hot tea, and most of the exhaustion in her body disappeared. ♀ Doting on a wife at an exorbitant price, her billionaire husband is too domineering She heard Minglan's complaint, and sneered, "You girl, don't mention this again, be careful that people will think I'm picky. How can we compare with Yangzhou Linfu here?" Bi! Don't look at the great business of the Rongfu family, and there are many masters. If you share a room with me, there will be no room for you. Your master tried his best to get this room."

Ming Lan stared round in surprise, and said with a sneer, "So this Rong Mansion is nothing more than that, I think they want to see girls more."

"Silly girl." Daiyu smiled, and told them to go and rest. Everyone was tired after a long day's work.

After taking a bath, Daiyu was about to take a rest when she suddenly heard Lin Dian crying.He hurriedly went to the ear room to visit him, and Mrs. Ding was coaxing Lin Dian with her arms around her.Lin Dian was disobedient, struggling and crying, her face and neck were red from crying.

As soon as Lin Dian saw Daiyu coming, her eyes widened, she went to the ground barefoot, hugged Daiyu's leg and shouted, "Sister, I'm afraid!"

Mrs. Ding and Zijuan were also there, their eyes widened when they heard Lin Dian's words, and they looked at Lin Dian in unison.Did they hear correctly?

Brother Lin has spoken!

Daiyu was also very surprised, she was startled for a moment, then carried Lin Dian to the kang, and sent Mrs. Ding to fetch a basin of hot water for Lin Dian to soak her feet.

Lin Dian sat obediently on the kang, letting Nanny Ding wash his feet; he held on to Daiyu's skirt, and his small ink-like eyes stared straight at Daiyu, shining brightly. ,Twinkle, twinkle.

Daiyu sat down beside him, changed the corner of her skirt to hold Lin Dian by her own hand.

"what's wrong?"

"Hmm...um..." Lin Dian snorted twice, and found that the three of them were all staring at her, afraid to speak.

Daiyu understood Lin Dian's small thoughts, but she didn't dismiss Zijuan and Mrs. Ding, but asked Lin Dian again, but Lin Dian still didn't speak. ) Daiyu sighed, she couldn't get used to it like this anymore, this time she had to 'guide' him well, since she had spoken, she couldn't let him develop the habit of being silent again.

"If you don't speak, who will understand what you mean? Then I can go." Daiyu let go of Lin Dian's hand and turned to leave.

Lin Dian didn't want Daiyu to leave, and refused to speak. He yelled loudly, and when he saw Daiyu go out and ignored him, he burst into tears.Mrs. Ding felt distressed and coaxed Lin Dian with good words, but Lin Dian didn't listen to her and kept making trouble.

Mrs. Ding guessed that he wanted to see Daiyu, so she hurriedly asked Daiyu to come in and coax her.

After a while, Daiyu didn't come in.Lin Dian's wailing gradually turned into soft sobbing, and at the end, she wiped away her tears and became silent.

Lin Dian couldn't cry anymore, and if he couldn't wait for Daiyu to come, he went to look for it himself.The barefooted girl was about to get off the ground, but was stopped by Mrs. Ding, who forced him to put on shoes before allowing him to go.

Go out and turn right, which is Daiyu's bedroom.Lin Dian probed in first and saw Daiyu reading by the candle lamp, so Fang tiptoed in.

Sitting on a stool embroidering flowers, Zijuan saw Lin Dian and said with a smile, "Brother Lin is here."

Daiyu acted as if she hadn't heard, but still looked down at the book.

Lin Dian slowed down, looked at Daiyu, and hesitantly looked at Zijuan and Ding Pozi, who were winking at him.Lin Dian plucked up her courage, walked up to Daiyu, and stretched out her fleshy little hand to cover the pages of the book.

"Sister, I was wrong."

Daiyu put down her book, and said to Lin Dian with a straight face: "You should change your cowardly nature. You have nothing to say to your family. What will you do when you meet outsiders when you go out? In the future, you will have the opportunity to meet the emperor when you go to high school for the imperial examination. Don't talk? Waiting to copy the Nine Clans, implicating me and your father."

Daiyu's last sentence specifically mentioned Lin Dian's father, Lin Ruhai, and she wanted to test whether Lin Dian recognized him or not.

Hearing this, Lin Dian became anxious, hugged Daiyu's leg and cried, "I won't be anymore, sister, don't be angry. In the future, I will definitely become a high-ranking official and make a fortune, so that my sister and father can enjoy happiness together. "

When Daiyu heard Lin Dian say such cute words, she knew that all these times did not hurt him in vain.When Su Shi brought him in, Daiyu thought Lin Dian was a filial and well-behaved child, and she was right.

Daiyu scratched Lindian's nose with a smile, hugged him and sat on her lap, and asked Zijuan to give him two pieces of walnut pine nut osmanthus cake.

Lin Dian likes to eat this kind of dessert the most, happily holding a small plate, he picked up a piece and started to eat it.

"Only two pieces are allowed, not too much. This thing is sweet and greasy. You need to clean your teeth after eating."

Lin Dian nodded obediently, and smiled at Daiyu.He continued to bury his head in eating, and when he finished eating in a while, he still wanted to stay in Daiyu's arms, so he read the book Daiyu held word by word.

"A gentleman behaves according to his position, and does not want to be outside of it. If he is rich and honored, he behaves like he is rich; if he is always poor and humble... a gentleman cannot be content with himself if he has no entry!" (Excerpt from "The Doctrine of the Mean" Chapter 14)

Daiyu frowned, and asked in disbelief, "You know all of them."

Lin Dian nodded with a smile, raised her head and said to Daiyu, "My sister taught me all these words."

When Daiyu was in Yangzhou, she did teach Lin Dian how to read, but that was her initial education.Among the words he read just now, she just wrote some complicated ones and told Lin Dian what to read.Lin Dian didn't speak at that time, Daiyu thought he didn't listen at all and took it as an enlightenment, but she didn't expect Lin Dian to remember it.

Lin Dian's intelligence made Dai Yu realize that she should pay attention to his education.Such a smart child, as long as he is properly guided, will become a master.The Lin family has been passed down to his generation, and it may not be able to continue to prosper.

Therefore, Daiyu put on the agenda the plan to find a husband for Lindian.

Except for the Jia family, Daiyu didn't know anyone else in the capital city.The men of the Jia family are all ignorant and incompetent!Daiyu didn't want to ask Jia Mu or Jia Zheng to find a husband for Lin Dian, who might teach him anything.She would not ask Lin Dian to go to Jiajiazong School, that school is a place for Xue Pan and Baoyu to hang out, and the masculinity prevails, not to mention the chaos.In the future, if Lin Dian is led to be ignorant and masculine, Lin Ruhai will have to take it easy?

You must be very careful when you ask Mr.

If a letter is sent to Lin Ruhai, let him ask someone to deliver it?But the mountains are high and the waters are far away, half a year has passed after tossing all the way.

After much deliberation, Daiyu asked someone to go outside to find out which family's husband is good, and then talk to Jiamu after it's settled.The Lin family is not well-known in the capital city, so there is no way to invite someone in the name of the Lin family, let alone in the name of a girl's family, so this matter must be done through Jia Mu in the name of Rongguo Mansion.

The next day, Daiyu sent someone to inquire, and got an answer in the evening. There was a fourth-rank Hanlin surnamed Nangong who was transferred to be the magistrate. His teacher decided to stay in Beijing, so he was free.This man's surname is Ou, he is 35 years old, and he is a scholar.

This Nangong Hanlin used to be the second in the list of first-time scholars, and he was well-educated.Daiyu expected that the husband invited by his family must be different.So he decided on this Mr. Ou, and asked Jia's mother to come forward to invite her, and she would pay for the money.

When Mother Jia heard that Daiyu was going to hire a husband for Lindian, she was about to find someone to handle it.

When Baoyu heard about it, he said quickly, "Why bother? Ask brother Lin to go to school like me, and I will take care of him." After Baoyu finished speaking, he turned his head to Daiyu and assured him, "Sister Lin, with me here, You can rest assured."

Daiyu didn't go to see Baoyu, but said directly to Mother Jia, "I'm afraid it won't work with my younger brother's temperament. Let's think about going to school when he is older. Besides, my younger brother is young and needs someone to take care of him." "Second brother Bao's temperament is like a child sometimes. Even an adult, there are times when he can't take care of him, so it's better to be at home with peace of mind."

Mother Jia felt that what Daiyu said was reasonable, so she nodded in agreement and told Jia Lian to handle the matter. Daiyu didn't need to take the money anymore, but she would pay it from the 1000 taels she put in Wang Xifeng.

Daiyu saw that Jia's mother was determined, so she didn't insist, but privately asked someone to give Jia Lian 80 taels of silver, which was all counted as the cost of his husband's escape.

Jia Lian took people's money, so naturally he wanted to get things done properly. That afternoon, he invited the Mr. Ou.

This Mr. Ou has a weird temper, he insists on seeing the child first before making a decision.Mr. Ou looked at Lin Dian's qualifications and saw that although he was a little timid, he was very smart and might be able to succeed in the future, so he agreed.

The teaching fee is 15 taels per month, a total of 180 taels a year, paid off in one lump sum.

The money that Daiyu kept with Wang Xifeng had already been used for other purposes.This time, 180 taels was paid out, and Wang Xifeng's heart ached.

Wang Xifeng complained to Jia Lian: "One hundred and eighty a year, he will live here for four or five years, and this alone will lose everything. Maybe we have to pay for it."

"I said you are stingy, and you plan to go so far. Sister Lin is here, what do we spend some money on her? Besides, it hasn't been spent yet, and I will get married in two years. You told her to stay here After five years, she can't live!" Jia Lian got 80 taels of a private house, and was so happy that his butt blossomed, so he didn't bother to care about his daughter-in-law.

Hearing her husband say this, Wang Xifeng was unhappy and said, "Am I talking about Sister Lin? Have I complained about how she eats and wears these years? I'm talking about Lin Dian, the stepson that Uncle Lin just recognized! He and We don't have any relatives, so why should we pay him for compensation? Besides, sister Lin has been married for three to two years, what about Lin Dian? He is only four years old this year!"

Wang Xifeng implied that if Lindian continued to live, he would get money.
