Lin Xuan of the Red Chamber

Shen Shuang looked at everyone's faces, and then said: "Besides, Xuan'er, you and Junyao grew up in the south, so you may not be used to the weather in the north. You should pay more attention to it these days and wear more clothes. Some clothes, if it freezes, it will be troublesome.”

Hearing what Shen Shuang said, Lin Ruhai couldn't help being taken aback, but he forgot about it. Both Lin Xuan and Lin Junyao grew up in the south, and they might not be used to the northern weather. It's really difficult, you know, he just came to Beijing now, and it's time to get in touch with relatives and old friends. Lin Xuan is his only son, and he will definitely be by his side when the time comes. If he gets sick, it will be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai looked at Shen Shuang with some warmth. Shen Shuang was able to think so thoroughly even about things he didn't expect, which shows that he put the two children in his heart, which also made Lin Ruhai hang on. I let go of my heart a little.

When marrying his new wife, Lin Ruhai was not without worries. On the contrary, he was always worried that if Shen Shuang had a child of his own, there would be conflicts with Lin Xuan. Shen Shuang had not been pregnant in these years. Although he was a little disappointed, What's more fortunate is that for the current Lin Ruhai, he would rather have a few more bastards instead of legitimate sons.

Seeing that Shen Shuang cared about him so much, Lin Xuan was taken aback for a moment, but he changed his mind, looked at Lin Ruhai's eyes, and seemed to understand something vaguely, but he didn't expose it. No matter what Shen Shuang wanted to do, it was actually related to him. It doesn't matter much, anyway, she can't threaten herself.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry, I will take care of myself, but you and your father should also pay attention to your health and don't work too hard."

On the Lin family's side, there is a school of tenderness, but on the other side, after Jia Lian went back, he also went to Mrs. Jia to answer.

There were a lot of people sitting in Mrs. Jia's house, including the important mistresses of Jia's mansion, and the sisters who were raised under Jia's mother's knees. Of course, in such an occasion, it was inevitable Jia Baoyu, Jia's mother's sweetheart.

The room was full of people, and Lin Daiyu was sitting next to Jia Mu at this time. Although she echoed everyone's words, her eyes were always looking outside, with a look of anticipation and anxiety, trying to respond He was looking forward to meeting his father.

Seeing that although Lin Daiyu was talking to everyone, she was obviously not thinking about it, so Mother Jia could naturally understand what she was thinking, patted her hand, and comforted her: "Yu'er, you don't have to worry, you Lian Er Brother has already gone to the pier to pick up your father, and it won't take long for your father to come over, and by then, your father and daughter will naturally be able to meet each other."

After hearing what Jiamu said, Lin Daiyu nodded, but her look of anticipation grew stronger. Seeing that Lin Daiyu was still looking anxious, Jiamu was also a little helpless, so she could only look at Wang Xifeng, hoping that she would talk about the topic. turn around.

After receiving Jia's mother's hint, Wang Xifeng changed his mind, and said to everyone with a smile: "I heard that although our Uncle Lin was born in Tanhua, his talent is definitely not below the number one scholar. Uncle Lin was born to be extremely handsome, and since ancient times Tanhua Lang has always been a man of extraordinary beauty, that's why we, Uncle Lin, have been wronged to be a Tanhua Lang."

Hearing this, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but interjected: "Unexpectedly, there is such a source of Uncle Lin's position as a flower explorer." Then, he looked at Lin Daiyu again, and asked curiously: "Sister Lin, Lin What kind of person is uncle?"

Although Jia Baoyu has always disliked people in the officialdom, Lin Ruhai is Lin Daiyu's father. In Jia Baoyu's mind, if he can give birth to such a clever and beautiful daughter as Lin Daiyu, then the father is naturally not bad. Uncle was a little curious.

Hearing the mention of her father, Lin Daiyu couldn't help saying: "I was still young when I left home, and my impression of my father was a bit vague, but I vaguely remember that my father was a gentle and loving person, and he loved me very much. And my brother, but maybe because my brother is a boy, my father was very strict with my brother. At that time, my mother was still there, and every time my brother made a mistake, he would hide with his mother. My mother was not in good health, and my father didn't want to worry my mother, so My brother can escape every time."

As she spoke, Lin Daiyu's expression gradually dimmed, and she said sadly: "It's been so many years now, and my father has a new wife, so I don't know if he will remember me?"

Hearing Lin Daiyu talk about Lin Xuan at the beginning, Jia Baoyu suddenly had a feeling that he was connected with the same disease. He only felt that the other party's experience was similar to his own, and he would understand him very well. He even planned to wait for Lin Xuan to come. I want to make friends with him, but now seeing Lin Daiyu getting sad all of a sudden, Jia Baoyu immediately became anxious, and he didn't care about these messy things, so he hurriedly comforted him with a clumsy tongue.

Although Jia Baoyu is not very good at comforting people, she looks clumsy and tongue-tied, but Lin Daiyu just listens to him, and seeing him sweating in anxiety, she doesn't care about being hurt, and laughs all at once out.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu was not sad, he laughed, Jia Baoyu didn't care if Lin Daiyu was joking about himself, just sat beside Lin Daiyu, and the two started talking quietly.

Mother Jia naturally looked at the two of them with relief. Her love for Jia Min was not fake, after all, she had only one daughter under her knees, and although she was not as good as Jia Baoyu for Lin Daiyu, she really loved her. It is Jia Min's only flesh and blood, and she had this idea long before she took Lin Daiyu over.

In her opinion, Jia Baoyu is her most beloved grandson, and Lin Daiyu is her beloved granddaughter. If the two can get closer, it would be great, and Lin Daiyu's father was originally a local official with real power , now, according to the information I inquired about, she is going to join the cabinet and become the elder of the cabinet. In this way, Lin Daiyu, as Lin Ruhai's daughter-in-law, has an unusual status.

If Jia Baoyu could marry Daiyu, then in the future, with the support of a father-in-law like Lin Ruhai, the road would be much smoother.

As for whether Jia Baoyu is worthy of Daiyu, Jia's mother also has her own ideas. In her opinion, Jia Baoyu was born with jade, so it must be a good fortune, and Jia Baoyu is also the grandson of the Rongguo Mansion. At this time, Jia's mother has long forgotten that the title of Duke Rong is gone, and even if the title is lowered, it cannot fall into Jia Baoyu's status. Even though your eldest son and grandson were treated as a running errand by you, they are still alive and well.

Although Jia's mother had a good idea, and the two juniors seemed to be affectionate and righteous, she ignored the wishes of Jia Baoyu's mother, Mrs. Wang.

As for Mrs. Wang, it is not a simple role, and she and Jia Min also have old grievances. Back then, when she first got married, Jia Min was still the eldest lady held in the palm of Jia's mother. Since then, not only mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but also the relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law is extremely difficult to deal with. One is the eldest lady who is held in the palm of the mother's hand and the other is the bride who is suppressed by the mother-in-law. It is strange that the relationship between these two can be good Woolen cloth.

What's more, Jia Min was also arrogant and arrogant at the time, and he didn't look down on Mrs. Wang who hadn't read a few books. This is the most difficult time in the life, and You Qi can imagine how deep Mrs. Wang's resentment towards Jia Min is.

These years, Jia Min has never been pregnant, and her only daughter, Daiyu, is weak and sick. It is impossible to say that Mrs. Wang's methods are not involved.

Such a person who has a deep enmity with Jia Min, how could she be willing to let Jia Min's daughter marry her son.

Moreover, even if this reason is not considered, considering Lin Daiyu's frail body, most people would probably not list her as a candidate for their daughter-in-law. Another point is that Lin Daiyu's temper must be coaxed. Now, how can a housewife look like a housewife?

Mrs. Wang had waited for so many years before her son would grow up, and her daughter-in-law would become a mother-in-law. Naturally, she also hoped to be as addicted to mother-in-law as Jia's mother was back then. If Jia Baoyu really married Daiyu, Daiyu was protected by Mother Jia, and with her temper, Mrs. Wang's mother-in-law's prestige could not be shaken at all, how could she be reconciled to it.

So, no matter what aspect you consider, Mrs. Wang doesn't want Lin Daiyu to become her daughter-in-law. It's just that Jia's mother has a lot of prestige. Even if Mrs. Wang wants to object, she can't do it in the open. So now she looks at Lin Daiyu and her son. She could only smile at the close look, with a kind and kind look.

Wang Xifeng swept her eyes, and she saw everyone's thoughts in her eyes. She couldn't help but sighed slightly. To be honest, although her aunt didn't want Lin Daiyu to marry, in her heart, she still hoped that Lin Daiyu could marry Baoyu. Yes, after all, with Lin Daiyu's temperament, she definitely can't manage the house, so the housekeeper's right will still be in her own hands, but although Jia's mother thinks well, from Wang Xifeng's point of view, the chance of success is really not high.

Jia's mother regarded Jia Baoyu as a treasure, but in Wang Xifeng's opinion, this Jia Baoyu was not even as good as her own Jia Lian. At least Jia Lian could do some things, but Jia Baoyu would be fine if he left Jia's house. No way, can Lin Ruhai like such a person, can he marry his daughter to such a person, especially when he is about to enter the cabinet and his worth has doubled, when the time comes, even if he is Lin Daiyu was weak and sick, but considering Lin Ruhai's powerful position, there were many people who wanted to propose marriage to the Lin family.

However, seeing Lin Daiyu's shy look, Wang Xifeng's heart suddenly moved. Although Lin Ruhai would not agree to marry his daughter to a person with little ability, if Lin Daiyu herself did not marry Baoyu, the chances of success would be higher. .

Here, Wang Xifeng was caught in the middle of calculations, and Xue Baochai looked at the appearance of Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, and she felt very uncomfortable in every way. To be honest, she was a little jealous of Lin Daiyu. Her father was originally a powerful man in the south of the Yangtze River. A local official, now he is going to become an old man, his status is so much higher than others, and there is also an elder brother who has met Yuan at a young age. Although his mother has passed away, there is still Jia Mu who protects and pampers him. Even though Jia Baoyu was close to him on weekdays, he was obviously partial to Daiyu.

As for herself, her father died young, her brother was useless, although her mother loved her, she obviously valued her brother more, and now she is living in other people's homes, under the fence of others, and even though her family is an imperial merchant, she has been a scholar, farmer, businessman, and merchant in the past dynasties. They are all the lowest, even Huangshang is no exception, although she doesn't want to admit it, but in fact, she is inherently lower than Lin Daiyu, how can she be reconciled, how can she not be jealous.

For a while, everyone in the room had their own thoughts, but they all fell silent.
