Youwei, the heir of the Red Chamber

Whether it is the open and secret struggles in the court, or the swords and swords in the frontier, they are all isolated from the Lin Mansion in Yangzhou.There is a sad and dull atmosphere in this big house.

The servants all walked on tiptoe, for fear of disturbing the light sleep of their mistress.

Jia Min's personal servant girl came out of the room with a medicine bowl in her hand. There was still half a bowl of dark medicine left in the bowl, exuding a strong bitterness.

Lin Geng, the manager of the Lin family, frowned and looked at the medicine in the bowl, "Ma'am, it's still useless?"

The eldest girl shook her head, "No, my wife is tired and wants to rest."

Lin Zhong sighed deeply, his wife's health was getting worse and worse, and the day-long sleepiness was probably a sign of exhaustion.However, the master took care of his wife a few days ago, but he also collapsed. What should I do?

"But the second housekeeper is outside." Jia Min's weak voice came from inside.

"Back to Madam, it's the slave Lin Geng."

There was a pause in the room, and another word came out, "Lin Zhongke is back? Is Lian'er here?"

"This..." Lin Geng was in trouble.It will take more than a month to go to and from the capital, and Lin Zhong estimates that it will take about ten days to arrive. "Ma'am, Lin Zhong will be back in just a few days."

"Yeah." The voice was soft, and there was no sound again.

The big girl secretly wiped her tears.

Seeing this, Lin Geng scolded, "Why are you crying? It's very bad luck."

The little girl was so frightened that she stopped her voice, her voice choked with sobs, "My wife has been explaining about the young lady and the master for the past few days, I, I'm always unsteady."

"You have to endure if you are not at ease!" After finishing speaking, he walked to the front yard.

The front yard was also bleak at this time, Lin Ruhai asked people to put away all the objects that the youngest son was playing with, so as not to hurt the scene.The small tree that fell on the day the youngest son was born has also been uprooted, leaving only a small circle in its original place, which was obviously filled with new soil.

Lin Ruhai is not feeling well these days.As the person in charge of this family, he not only has to endure the pain of bereavement, but also takes care of and comforts the sick wife and children, plus this big family has to greet everyone inside and outside, and his health is getting worse.

"Master, please rest and rest." Lin Geng asked worriedly.For so many days in a row, I haven't had a good rest, even if it's hard, it's hard to bear it.

Lin Ruhai clenched his fists to his lips, and coughed a few times, "How is Madam?"

"The madam doesn't need any medicine now, and she is thinking about the young master all day long. Today, the lady went to say hello, but the madam didn't let the door open." Lin Geng felt sour when he thought of the thin and frail young lady.

"She shouldn't be like this." Lin Ruhai didn't know what Jia Min was complaining about.Yu'er has been in poor health since she was a child, and has been inseparable from medicine all these years.Min'er has given up some thought for her, and inevitably neglected her son. Now that her son has died of illness, she has nowhere to complain, so it is all on Yu'er.It's a pity that she is so energetic now, it's useless to talk too much, so I have to take care of Yu'er so that she won't be sad and hurt her body.

Looking at the gray and white sky, Lin Ruhai felt exhausted to the extreme.As the saying goes, Taoism is the most important way to establish a family, but I can't even support this unique family, isn't it the most useless person?

It was early in the morning when Jia Lian and his party arrived in Yangzhou.

The servants of Lin's mansion had just opened the gate and swept away the stone lions at the entrance, and the two young men in green clothes seemed to have not woken up, yawning.

Another boy who was a little fatter stretched his waist, "When will our mansion be better? In the past few days, the master and wife have not been able to eat well, and the young lady has suffered from several illnesses. People suffer accordingly."

With a "slap", the speaking boy was slapped hard on the back of the head.

"Ouch." The servant cried out in pain.Turning around, he was about to curse, when he saw Lin Geng's dark face.

The little servant immediately accepted the words, bowed his waist tremblingly, "Second, Second Housekeeper."

"Hmph." Lin Geng reprimanded with his hands behind his back, "you boys, you have become more and more lazy these days without taking care of you. You lose your energy early in the morning, and you are still talking about the master behind your back. Today If I don't teach you a good lesson, I don't know if I will be a slave to deceive the master in the future!"

Hearing the words, the young fellow who spoke immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Second housekeeper, please spare me this time."

"you--"

"Steward Lin, please stay safe."

Before Lin Geng could reprimand him, he heard a gentle voice.Turning around, I saw two people standing upright in front of the gate leading a steed under a few steps. One of them was wearing a dark green white silk brocade jacket with a jade belt around his hair, his face was like a crown of jade, and his eyes were smiling.

"Lian, Second Lord Lian?" Even though he had already recognized him, Lin Geng still couldn't believe it. After all, the itinerary from Kyoto to Yangzhou, the news came one after another, so it shouldn't have arrived so soon. Meet Lin Zhong.

As if seeing Lin Geng's thoughts, Jia Lian smiled and said, "I was afraid that my aunt would wait for a long time, so I went ahead first. The housekeeper Lin guessed that he was still on the way."

"Master Lian, this servant is being rude, hurry up and enter the mansion, this servant will send someone to report to the master."

The decoration of the Lin Mansion is still the same as it was three years ago, even the porcelain vase with lotus flowers in the hall is placed in its original place.In his heart, Jia Lian admired Lin Ruhai's way of running a family.The wealth of the Lin family is no less than that of the Rongguo Mansion, but it is indeed very rare to be able to be consistent for so many years.

Lin Geng led Jia Lian into his seat.Of course Zhu Kui didn't sit with Jia Lian, but stood beside him, drinking a sip of tea from the bull on the saucer in the servant's hand.These few days have been extremely hard.

Just as Jia Lian took a sip of tea, before he could speak, he heard footsteps from the foreign inspector.The voice seemed a little weak, Jia Lian looked up and saw Lin Ruhai walking in wearing a gray silk silk robe, his face looked a little weak.

"My nephew pays respects to my uncle." Jia Lian stood up and bowed.

Lin Ruhai gave her a hand, "Nephew, you don't need to be too polite. You are tired all the way, so let's sit down first and then talk."

Just as the two sat down, Lin Ruhai sighed.

"I am relieved that you can come so quickly. Your aunt is in a very bad spirit these days. Sometimes she misses my little brother, and then misses you again. No matter how much I try to persuade you, I can't help it. Yesterday She made a fuss all night and just took a break. She slept lightly, and probably woke up before noon."

Hearing this, Jia Lian's face was a little heavy, "What does the doctor say?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head, "It's a heart disease, so I need to be relieved. I just prescribed a few medicines to recuperate my body. As for the root cause, it's hard to get rid of it."

"My nephew looked at my uncle's complexion is also not good, but has he ever felt unwell?"

"I'm fine. It's just a minor ailment. It won't bother me for a while. But your aunt, seeing her health getting worse and worse, was thinking about her mother's family, but she was so far away from her mother's family. Zhong went to report the news."

Jia Lian stood up, bowed to Lin Ruhai, and said earnestly: "My uncle loves and respects my aunt, which really makes my nephew admire."

Jia Min was indeed as Lin Ruhai said, he woke up before noon, to be exact, he was half asleep and half awake.Weeping and talking nonsense.

The old ladies and maids on the side all tried to comfort her, but Jia Min turned a deaf ear to it.

"Aunt." Through the curtain, Jia Lian softly called Jia Min who was on the sick bed.

I still remember that when I first came to another world three years ago, it was also here. Through the curtain, my aunt cared and asked, and her kind words were still in my ears. Now when I see you again, it is such a scene that Jia Lian can't help but sigh.

There was no response on the sickbed, only the little maid in the room said softly: "Ma'am, Second Lord Lian from Jingdu has come to see you."

"Aunt, my nephew is here to greet you." Jia Lian said again.

"Lian'er?"

Finally, Jia Bing's weak voice came from the sickbed, as thin as a mosquito.

"Aunt, it's my nephew."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo, it's really Lian'er who came to see me." The voice seemed a little excited, "Help me up quickly."

After tossing and tossing for a while, Jia Min finally looked sober. He sat on the bed, his black hair loosened, and when he looked carefully, there were a few silver threads mixed in it.

"I heard from your uncle that you are very promising, and my aunt is also very happy."

Jia Lian said modestly: "It is also thanks to the cultivation of my uncle and aunt."

"You are such a humble and polite child. You have the same character as your mother." Suddenly thought of something, and his tone became low again, "I was thinking that my brother would grow up in the future. If I'm also happy to have such a temperament like you, who would have thought that he would abandon me so early... woo woo woo..." Then he started crying again.

Others hurriedly wiped their tears with handkerchiefs, while coaxing them.

When Jia Min was in a better mood, he opened his mouth again and said, "I made Lian'er laugh."

Jia Lian said nothing.He just stood up, knelt in front of Jia Min through the curtain, and kowtowed three times. "Uncles and aunts treat nephews like their own children. Now that my aunt is suffering from this, my nephew can't bear it. Today I hope my aunt will be worshiped by my nephew. In the future, my nephew will treat my uncle and aunt like a father and mother, and my younger sister like a brother." So-so. I also hope that my aunt can feel at ease and make my younger brother feel at ease. My uncle treats my aunt with great respect, and my cousin is also filial, so my aunt should be more at ease to take care of herself."

"But my brother is still so young, it's because I didn't take care of him. If I can be more careful, how can the cold wind take away my little brother..."

"Heaven has a destiny, and it is determined. Although my younger brother is gone, it is also moving to be so cared for by my aunt. My nephew often hears that the gods and Buddhas of the West show mercy to all living beings. Realm. When the younger brother comes to the world in the future, he will definitely renew the mother-child relationship with the aunt."

"Will he come back?" Jia Min coaxed his eyes and asked eagerly.

Jia Lian nodded, "Yes. My aunt's love in the world will definitely make him come back."

Hearing this, Jia Min bit her lips tightly, her red and swollen eyes turned sore again, crystal clear tears fell drop by drop, she endured for a while, and finally burst into tears.

"Lian'er... woo woo... my child, brother..."

Outside the door, Lin Ruhai heard the bursts of crying coming from the house, and the stone in his heart finally fell down.Min'er has never cried like this these days, and she is so depressed. Now that she is so at ease, she will definitely get better in the future.
