Lin Xuan of the Red Chamber

You may feel a lot of emotion when you hear some things, but often only when you actually see them can you truly understand those things you have never understood.

What Nanny Qi said, Lin Xuan had already investigated clearly. Before entering this courtyard, he knew the current situation here very well, but it was not until seeing him with his own eyes that he realized that Nanny Qi could persist How difficult it is until now.

Walking out of Hongying's yard, Lin Xuan involuntarily closed his eyes. The afternoon sun is always so dazzling, even in autumn. After staying in a dark room for a long time, he suddenly saw such a dazzling sun , Lin Xuan couldn't help but tears welled up from the corners of his eyes.

Because Jia Min wrote a letter to Jia's family when Jia Min was seriously ill, Jia Lian arrived not long after Jia Min's funeral was finished.

Jia Lian's journey was really full of travel and dust, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and he was a little different from his absurd appearance in the past.After receiving the news of Jia Lian's arrival, Lin Ruhai asked the head butler of Lin's mansion to pick him up in person because Lin Xuan has been very busy recently.

Although Jia Lian is a bit absurd on weekdays, he is not valued too much in the Jia family, but he is the eldest son of the Jia family and the eldest grandson of the Rongguo Mansion, and the old lady Jia sent him to pick up Daiyu, which is considered to be more important to Daiyu Besides, Jia Lian is Daiyu's aunt and cousin, so Lin Ruhai can rest assured that he will pick up Daiyu.

A group of people entered the Lin Mansion, and were guided all the way to rest in an elegant guest room. After packing up their luggage, they called the maids to serve them and wash them up for a while. Jia Lian arranged the clothes and let the butler lead Go to the place where Lin Ruhai is.

"I came late, and I didn't see my aunt for the last time, and I don't know how my two cousins ​​are doing now." Jia Lian was not idle along the way, and started to inquire about the current Lin family. Case.

"Hey, after the madam left, the young lady was very sad, and she kept herself in the room all day long, refusing to listen to anyone who persuaded her. The master and young master have been busy all the time, and there is no time to persuade you. You are the cousin of the young lady. If you have free time, please ask someone to persuade the young lady. If the madam is still alive, she will definitely feel distressed when she sees the young lady like this." The housekeeper sighed and said.

Naturally, Jia Lian quickly agreed. Although he usually acts absurdly, he is a rare person who understands why Jia's mother is so eager to let him pick up Daiyu. It is one thing to miss her granddaughter, but she is more afraid of Jia Min. After his death, if Lin Ruhai had the idea of ​​remarrying, his relationship with the Jia family would be even more distant. If Jia Guogong was still alive, the Jia family might not have cared too much about the Lin family's relationship.

But now that Jia Guogong has passed away for several years, the Jia family seems to be the same as usual, but in fact there are some signs of decline. There is only one Jia She in the Rongguo Mansion in Nuo Da, who attacked the title of first-class general. Jia Zheng became an official. For more than ten years, he was only a fifth-rank official, but the Lin family is different these years. Lin Ruhai is a second-rank official in the court, and Jane is in the heart of the emperor.Mrs. Jia, of course, can't alienate the Jia family from the Lin family, especially now that Jia Yuanchun has been in the palace for so many years and is only a small female official, it is the time when he needs help.

Before Jia Lian came, Mrs. Jia specifically told her that she must take Daiyu back smoothly this time. If possible, it would be even better to take Lin Xuan there too. After all, Daiyu is just a daughter, and Lin Ruhai Now one son and two daughters, if Daiyu is not around for a long time, whether Lin Ruhai's love for Daiyu will still be the same as it is now, this is an unknown number, but Lin Xuan is different, not to mention that he is now the only one in the Lin family Even if Lin Ruhai had other sons in the future, Lin Ruhai would never forget Lin Xuan in the ancient times when heirs were valued.

It's just that although Mrs. Jia's idea is good, Jia Lian doesn't quite agree with it, because now Lin Ruhai has such a son, and he knows that it is impossible to let him go, not to mention that they have already taken Daiyu away. up.

Thinking about how to behave in order to make a good impression on Lin Ruhai after the meeting, she followed the housekeeper and continued to move forward, but before she took a few steps, she heard a slightly childish voice.

"Housekeeper, is this Lian's second brother?" Lin Xuan walked over slowly, stood still in front of Jia Lian, and asked with a smile.

He looked at Jia Lian carefully, and saw that he was wearing a blue robe, which must have been specially changed after hearing the news of Jia Min's death. He was handsome, but with a thin powder on his face, he always looked a bit feminine.

When Lin Xuan was looking at Jia Lian, Jia Lian was also looking at Lin Xuan, only to see that the villain in front of him was wearing plain brocade clothes, perhaps because of filial piety, there was only a piece of exquisite openwork jasper hanging on his waist, although it was only the same, but that The fineness of the jade is so good that even Jia Lian, who is used to seeing good things, has to admire it. It seems that the rumors from the outside world are good, and the Lin family really has a profound heritage.

Looking at Lin Xuan, he is tall and straight, handsome in description, with a face like a crown jade, with exquisite features, but not the slightest femininity. Although he is still young and not tall enough, he has an aura that cannot be ignored. son.

Seeing Lin Xuan, Jia Lian couldn't help thinking of his younger brother, Baoyu, who was spoiled by thousands of people. Although he was about the same age, he could be distinguished at a glance. It was really incomparable.Jia Minmin sighed, then cupped her hands and said, "But cousin Lin Xuan."

Hearing Jia Lian's reply, Lin Xuan nodded slightly, and then said: "Second brother Lian, follow me in, father has been waiting for a long time."

Lin Xuan bowed slightly, stretched his right arm to the outside, and made a "please" gesture.

Jia Lian followed him into Lin Ruhai's study, and the butler left after completing his task.

Lin Ruhai was sitting on a chair drinking tea, when he saw Jia Lian coming in, he pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Nephew Jia Xian is here, sit down."

Even though Lin Ruhai said so, Jia Lian did not sit down immediately, but looked sad and said with deep regret in his voice: "My aunt has always treated me the best, but I never thought that my nephew would not see her." The last time, Uncle, I'm late."

Jia Lian's expression did not seem to be fake, and Lin Ruhai was also a little moved when he saw it. He took a serious look at Jia Lian, sighed and said, "Nephew, don't blame yourself. The capital and Gusu are already far away. How can you travel in such a short distance?" It's really not easy to arrive within the time, which shows your filial piety, if your aunt knows, she probably won't blame you."

"After the family got the news that my aunt was seriously ill, the old lady immediately asked me to come. If it wasn't because the old lady was too old to bear the rush, the old lady would come in person. I hurried along the way. Hurry up, I didn't expect it to be a step too late."

Tears welled up in Jia Lian's eyes, and his voice was extraordinarily sincere, which made Lin Xuan look at him in surprise, as if he didn't expect his relationship with Jia Min to be so deep. You know, Jia Min is still there At that time, Jia Zhu and Jia Baoyu were mentioned the most, but Jia Lian was not mentioned a few times.

"Originally, after receiving the news that my aunt was seriously ill, my old lady fell ill. Now that I heard the bad news of my aunt's death, she almost passed out from crying at that time. She was thinking about my granddaughter again, so she hurriedly urged me to leave the hospital. Daiyu took it." Jia Lian knew that it was impossible to take both Lin Xuan and Daiyu to Jia's mansion, so he didn't even mention it.

What Jia Lian said was true, no matter what he said was true or not, it was enough to arouse the sentimentality in Lin Ruhai's heart. After all, the relationship between him and Jia Min for more than ten years can't be forgotten in a short time. Lin Ruhai was stunned for a while before answering. Said: "The old lady is old, and she still has to worry about us juniors. I feel really ashamed when I think about it." After a pause, he said: "Daiyu's things have been packed. Originally, as a father, I still have to worry about it." I want to stay with her for a few more days, but since the old lady is so eager, you can leave after a few days of rest."

Jia Lian made a long bow, heaved a sigh of relief, and sincerely thanked: "Thank you uncle for your compassion."

After receiving Lin Ruhai's promise, Jia Lian really didn't delay at all. After resting for a few days, he prepared to leave quickly, as if he didn't dare to be interested in those rare romantic places in Gusu. The greed and lust described in that book.

Lin Xuan didn't find it strange. Although Lin Ruhai was a romantic and sentimental talent when he was young, for some reason, he had two complete requirements for his juniors. He didn't understand the saying "Do not do to others what you don't want to be done to you" , and Jia Min had just passed away, even if Jia Lian stayed here, he would not dare to go to such a romantic place, otherwise the good impression he left on Lin Ruhai would be completely broken.

Instead, it's better to accept it as soon as it's good, and leave quickly. Isn't it easy to be happy when you return to Jia's mansion?

On the day when Jia Lian was about to leave, because Lin Ruhai was worried about Daiyu, Lin Ruhai and Lin Xuan escorted Lin Daiyu to the pier all the way.

When they got to the pier, Lin Ruhai gave Jia Lian a few more instructions. The main idea was to persuade Daiyu not to make her too sad. Daiyu was not in good health, so Jia Lian should take good care of her and so on.

Although Jia Lian was a little impatient, he still accepted it with a smile, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, this Lin Ruhai is also a second-rank official after all, why is he acting so messy, even if he cares about his daughter, it's too much, just How many times have I said these words in this period of time?But he didn't know that Lin Ruhai was so worried because he knew too much about the Jia family. If it weren't for the current chaotic situation in the south of the Yangtze River, he would never have promised Jia Min to let Daiyu go to Jia's house, even if it was Neither did Jia Min's dying wish.

Lin Xuan watched from the side, and didn't say anything. His feelings for this sister are extremely complicated. After so many years of getting along, no matter whether he was sincere or false at the beginning, it would be a lie to say that he has no feelings at all. , but what Jia Min did, and what he did to Jia Min, has become a knot in his heart. Facing Daiyu's knot, no matter how he tells himself, the grievances of the previous generation have nothing to do with them , there is no way for him to face Daiyu like before, so for Lin Xuan, it is definitely a good thing for Daiyu to be sent away.

Looking around, Lin Xuan was relieved to see that the large boats brought by Jia's family were fully equipped, and the servant girls and maids were all ready. It seemed that they should pay more attention to Daiyu. Daiyu will not be too sad along the way, obviously at this time Lin Xuan has selectively ignored what kind of place the Jia family is.

Here Lin Ruhai told Jia Lian ten thousand times, and Daiyu got off the sedan chair with the help of the maids and women, and walked to Lin Ruhai lightly, blessed her body slightly, and said softly: "Father, daughter I'm leaving now, father will take care of himself in the future."

Because of filial piety, Daiyu was dressed in white with a white cloak outside, and she looked extremely cold, especially the unconcealable sadness on Daiyu's face, which made people feel sorry for her.
