Lin Xuan of the Red Chamber

No matter in any era, you cannot completely rely on others, you must have your own strength, especially in ancient times.

Lin Junyao understood this truth since she was a child, so she has been working hard to make herself stronger, no matter from which aspect.And this meant that after Lin Daiyu came back, Lin Xuan's worries and worries about Lin Junyao were completely unnecessary, because the little girl had already considered a solution for herself.

Seeing that the atmosphere between Shen Shuang and Daiyu became awkward, and his elder brother was sitting beside him slowly tasting wine, he had no intention of intervening at all.As for Lin Ruhai, he wanted to ease the atmosphere, but he didn't know how to speak.

Lin Junyao rolled her eyes, stood up and ran to Lin Daiyu's side, and said with a smile: "Master, madam, is this my sister? She looks so beautiful. If Junyao grows up, she can be as beautiful as her sister." alright"

Lin Xuan paused while turning the wine glass, and looked at Lin Junyao in surprise. He really didn't expect Lin Junyao to run out at this time.However, when seeing the little girl winking at him again, Lin Xuan put aside the doubts in his heart temporarily, and said with a smile: "Junyao, didn't you keep clamoring for a sister before, now that Daiyu is back, this time Finally, someone can accompany you, don't keep dragging me, who is an older brother, any more."

Lin Junyao wrinkled her little nose, stuck out her tongue, and said with a look of disgust, "Hmph, now that I have my sister with me, I don't care about you as a brother."

Then, she pulled Lin Daiyu aside and sat down, looked at Lin Xuan, and whispered to Lin Daiyu in a low voice: "Sister, let me tell you, don't look at my brother who is like a gentleman outside. Appearance, in fact, he is languid, on weekdays, his favorite thing to do is to bully me, you have to stay away from him."

Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows, looked at Lin Daiyu's gaze after hearing this, smiled gently, but felt a little depressed in his heart, he was obviously very nice to Lin Junyao on weekdays, how did the little girl come to such a conclusion Woolen cloth.Could it be that he teased her more often and got angry, and it seems that she will have to tease her less in the future, after all, has the little girl grown up? Well, that's the decision, and I won't tease her in front of outsiders from now on .

Lin Xuan considers himself to be a caring elder brother who knows how to love his sister, so even if Lin Junyao's actions are somewhat wrong in his fantasy, he is very understanding and cooperating with the little girl. During this family banquet, he and Lin Junyao are on the sidelines to cooperate , it finally ended satisfactorily, and there was nothing that made Lin Ruhai feel bad.

After the family banquet, although it was getting late, Lin Xuan did not return to his place immediately, but followed Lin Junyao back to her yard.Although Lin Xuan could vaguely guess the reasons for some things, it is better to speak clearly and ask clearly.

Sitting on the chair in the main hall, after asking the maid to pour a cup of tea, Lin Xuan held the tea in his hands and remained silent. He was waiting for Lin Junyao to speak first, and he wanted to know if his guess was right.

Seeing that Lin Xuan just sat there without speaking, Lin Junyao naturally understood why, she waved her hand, and after letting the servants go down, she pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "Brother, I know what you mean, I also understand that you are doing it for my own good, but sister Daiyu has suffered a lot these years. And some things are innate, even if my brother can make it change in name, others can see clearly Chu’s, after all, it’s no match for Daiyu’s sister.”

Lin Junyao's words were not clear, but Lin Xuan already understood what she meant by these words. In this world, sons are preferred to daughters, and concubines are more important than concubines. Lin Junyao has lived as a concubine for so many years, even if she is now remembered as Shen Shuang's However, everyone in the world knows what is going on, and the heavens will still see clearly that she is not as good as Lin Daiyu, a prostitute from a family like Lin Daiyu.

On weekdays, these things may not be revealed, but when they get married, these things are crucial.

Seeing that Lin Xuan just took a deep look at herself, and then silently held the teacup, Lin Junyao couldn't help persuading: "Brother, the Lin family is weak, there are only three of us, brother and sister, and my brother will also need support in the court in the future. Sister Yu is the first daughter, and my father is now the elder of the pavilion, so I have a lot more options in the future than me, so my brother shouldn't give up on my sister just because of me."

Lin Xuan didn't know what Lin Junyao said. In this world, the relationship between in-laws is still very important. They are natural allies. Don't you see, before Jia Min died, the Jia family didn't worry at all about the relationship with the Lin family. relationship?

Not to mention that Lin Daiyu's background is higher than Lin Junyao's, and she will be able to attract a more favorable in-law for herself in the future. Even if Lin Daiyu and Lin Junyao's backgrounds are average, it is extremely precious in the small Lin family, and she should not give up so easily. Lose.

But Lin Xuan has his own considerations. Lin Daiyu's body is not good, and her temperament is not suitable for being the head of the house, although these can be changed in the future.But now Lin Daiyu is about to get married, even if she has the desire to change, it may not be in time.

Judging from the original novel of the Red Chamber and the period of recent contact, it is not a good thing for Lin Daiyu to say that she is narrow-minded or not.

Most men in this world have three wives and four concubines. With Lin Daiyu's current status, the man she will marry in the future must also be someone with a certain status.Usually, there are a few of such men who don't bother. Of course, they will definitely respect their first wife, but with Lin Daiyu's scheming, can she really deal with those concubines?

Not to mention, just talking about Lin Daiyu's character, which obviously needs to be pampered and protected, but how many men like that can be as low as Jia Baoyu, and they even need their wives to find ways to please them.

Of course, this does not mean that Jia Baoyu is the only choice for Lin Daiyu. People change, just like Lin Daiyu became cautious after arriving in Jia's mansion. I believe that if she becomes someone else's wife or mother, It will also become.

So the above reasons are just excuses for Lin Xuan to give up Lin Daiyu, his real intention is still for Lin Junyao.

They are also daughters, Lin Daiyu is the eldest daughter and the first daughter, which means that Lin Junyao's future marriage cannot surpass Daiyu's, and Daiyu's body is also doomed. If she gave up on Daiyu without hesitation, Lin Junyao would also be implicated.

Moreover, Lin Ruhai's only daughter, and her previous sister, are destined to receive a different degree of attention from her husband's family. What Lin Xuan really cares about is not that Lin Daiyu's return may affect Lin Junyao's status in the Lin family. He really cares The most important thing is that Lin Daiyu's return will affect Lin Junyao's future marriage.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but sighed, looked at Lin Junyao and said softly: "Have you really thought about it, maybe this will affect your whole life"

Lin Junyao blinked her eyes playfully, and said with a smile: "Brother just thinks too much about everything, but he doesn't know that the world is changing, and what will happen in the future is not certain, and things may not be as brother thinks. Moreover, even if it is as my brother thinks, Junyao believes that my brother will protect me."

Seeing Lin Junyao like this, Lin Xuan smiled slightly and felt relaxed. What Junyao said was right, things might not be as he thought, and even if it was as he thought, I believe he would be able to help at that time. Lin Junyao.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Xuan suddenly felt that he really shouldn't have done it before. Even a little girl understands the truth, but he actually got into the horns. Maybe, this is the so-called caring makes chaos.

Lin Xuan rubbed his chin, savoring this emotion which was very novel to him.Although the conversation with Lin Junyao made him temporarily change his attitude towards Lin Daiyu, but Lin Xuan himself is a person with indifferent feelings, so it is difficult for him to take the initiative to communicate with Lin Daiyu, who can be regarded as a stranger. Still a bit big.

Therefore, everything that follows is actually very different from before Lin Xuan changed his attitude. According to Lin Xuan's words, everything should go with the flow.

Not two days after Lin Daiyu came back, Lin Ruhai started his early court career. Before that, he had successfully entered the cabinet and began to handle affairs with the cabinet elders.

And when Lin Ruhai was busy, Lin Xuan was not idle either. While Lin Ruhai was exchanging feelings with others, Lin Xuan also smoothly broke into the circle of these noble children in the capital.

This is the way of the world, different classes have different circles, if it is true that everyone is equal everywhere as written in the novel, then the end will only become very miserable, let alone get the recognition and appreciation of others.

The person who brought Lin Xuan into the top aristocratic circle of friends in the capital was Huang Yourong, Huang Ge's favorite grandson, Huang Shang, Zishu, who was also the leader in this circle, and as he was, he really had the qualifications .

This Huang Chang is not a simple character, of course, if it is a simple character, it is impossible to become the favorite grandson of an elder, let alone become the leader of a circle.

He took the initiative to draw Lin Xuan into this circle. Naturally, what he valued was Lin Xuan's current status. Although the other elders had many sons and grandchildren, and the other elders were definitely more powerful than those who had just joined the cabinet. Lin Ruhai came strong.

But as long as Lin Xuan is the only son of Lin Ruhai, Lin Xuan's identity is different, basically not much different from Huang Chang, which means that Huang Chang lowered his body and took the initiative to win over Lin Ruhai. Xuan one of the reasons.

Everyone, don't think that the aristocratic circle is just some dudes. On the contrary, people who can enter this circle are not only the second best candidates, but at least they are people with fame and fame. If you are ignorant, then Even if you have a high status, you will not be accepted by this circle.

The people in this circle are all people with family background, and their scheming is not bad. There will not be that kind of innocent and simple people. What's more, these people are not only good at learning, but also have their own unique insights on other things. , and they are all proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Therefore, don't underestimate the ancients. These people's ingenuity is not weak. Maybe sometimes their ideas become a little narrow due to the limitations of the times.But under the guidance of words and deeds, if Lin Xuan hadn't followed Lin Ruhai for so many years and learned a lot, in terms of mind, I'm afraid he might not be able to beat them.

After all, although Lin Xuan was also intriguing in his previous life, there is still a difference between the ups and downs in the business world and the ups and downs in the officialdom.

Since Lin Xuan was led into this circle by Huang Chang for four or five days, he has become one with other people in this circle. Thinking about it is no exception, everyone is young and has common interests and hobbies. The levels are also similar, and the friendship will naturally heat up soon after getting acquainted.

Of course, Lin Xuan also understood very well that the reason why these people accepted him so quickly had something to do with his current identity.
