Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

"Zhuangzi Qiushui Chapter": Zhuangzi said: I heard that there is a tortoise in Chu, who died three thousand years ago, and the king's towel was hidden in the temple.For this tortoise, would it be more expensive to leave the bones in its death than to be alive and drag its tail in the paint?

If Lin Xiaoxiang thinks of this story at this moment, he will feel sorry for him, and feel that Zhuangzi is really his confidant!Rather than being a dead turtle hanging in the hall, she would rather be a living turtle playing in the mud, which is very in line with her thinking-to live truly and freely!

It has been more than two months since Lin Xiaoxiang came to this world inexplicably, but he still hasn't turned this corner in his heart.But this performance just fits the current situation, so no one has any doubts. The scholar with this body is a sentimental person. Besides, he just lost his mother not long ago, so how could he not be sad?

Lin Xiaoxiang really wanted to cry hard.She was living well, graduated from university, and stayed in the local area—a thriving provincial capital city.I found a fairly satisfactory job. She has a strong nature, works hard and uses her brains, her development is smooth, and the relationship between her colleagues is also harmonious.The family is well-off, and Lin Xiao is an only daughter. Her parents bought her a three-bedroom apartment when she was in college, and she moved out of the dormitory to move in seamlessly as soon as she graduated.Her parents came from their hometown to reunite with her when they were going to retire, and they were still a loving family of three.In a word, a bright future is waiting for her, a colorful life is like a delicious olive, every bite can chew a wonderful taste!

Time travel, she lived so well, ghosts would want to time travel!Therefore, when I first came here today, when I worshiped my original mother, I remembered that I was separated by time and space, and I and my parents were separated from each other, and we would never see each other again. Almost fainted, frightening the servants around him.

Traveling to ancient times sounds like a very interesting thing. Many people in the previous life were lovers of ancient styles, and they are eager to try it.It's just, when they were looking forward to the leisure and fun of ancient times, did they think that there is no running water that can be unscrewed, no clean toilet, no air conditioner to cool down in hot weather, and it is even more miserable for a woman to travel only by livestock. Let's talk about the oppression of women in the feudal society. Just because there is no aunt's scarf, Lin Xiao feels that it is unbearable. Fortunately, this is an empty dynasty, and women do not have the custom of binding their feet!Otherwise, she would rather commit suicide and see if she can go back?

This is an official family, and the items used are all high-quality.The rhombic copper mirror was polished very brightly. Looking at the mirror to take a selfie, what appeared in the mirror was a delicate and beautiful little girl. Although she was young, she could see her rare beauty in the future from the eyebrows.This is the embryo of a stunning beauty, charming and charming, making people love and pity her.How is it described in the book, "two eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, and a pair of eyes that seem to be weeping but not weeping", like a fairy who does not eat fireworks.That's right, she was originally the Crimson Pearl Fairy who descended into the mortal world.

It's hard to describe Lin Xiaoxiang's feeling at that time, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, shocking her to the core, when she figured out who she had transmigrated into, she was dumbfounded.Why, could it be the fault of his own name?God of time travel, let her go back, can she change her name immediately?

Lin Xiaoxiang was really in a complicated mood.Lin Daiyu, the goddess in many people's hearts, she has a beautiful appearance, a sad and sick body, a beautiful but short life, a tear-jerking love tragedy, and those who are infatuated with her have made her a god!Lin Xiaoxiang's writing style is good. If she is asked to write a biography of Lin Daiyu's life, she can also write it very touchingly. The title of the book should be a very literary name: Beauty and Sorrow - The Lonely Forest of Immortal Plants Outside the World!However, when Lin Xiaoxiang thought of Lin Daiyu's life experience, he felt chills in his heart.

Now, she is Lin Daiyu!However, she doesn't want to become a member of the Bo Ming Division, she is an ordinary person, she likes fireworks in the world, and hopes that her life can be happy and rich.At least, she wants to live a real and comfortable life, like the tortoise that Zhuangzi said.However, she will look for a clear and vast lake, and she can't bear the mud.

Lin Xiaoxiang finally accepted the reality helplessly, and was about to plan for the future.What caused Lin Daiyu's tragic life?Lin Xiaoxiang thought about it carefully, and there are two points: one is that entering Jia's mansion is tantamount to stepping into the den of tigers and wolves; more importantly, the death of her father Lin Ruhai is the biggest reason for Lin Daiyu's tragedy. There is no one to rely on.Even in modern society, a helpless orphan girl will be surrounded by greedy relatives who want to swallow up and seize property, not to mention the ancient times when daughters could not legitimately have the right to inherit!

So, if you don't go to Jia's mansion, everything will be fine?The tigers in the eastern mountains cannibalize people, so the wolves in the western mountains are vegetarians!Jia's family wants Lin Daiyu's property, so don't the Lin clan care about it?

Readers complained that Lin Ruhai was ignorant of people and entrusted Lin Daiyu to the Jia family, which led to her tragedy in life.But if you think about it carefully, if Lin Ruhai left a will to let the Lin clan raise Lin Daiyu when she died, I'm afraid her fate would be even more bleak.Anyway, Jia's mother is still Lin Daiyu's maternal grandmother, and Jia's family is a noble family with a lot of food, so they have to be scruples about how to behave decently.If she hadn't fallen so quickly, and Jia's mother had finally given up on her own granddaughter in the face of Jia's interests, Lin Daiyu might not have been so miserable!As for the Lin clan, they are alienated from Lin Ruhai and have no affection for Lin Daiyu at all. Can they really treat her kindly?Lin Ruhai knew this well at this time, and in the end it must be a balance between left and right, choosing the lesser of two evils, so she had no choice but to make a choice.

It's just that he underestimated the subtlety and greed of the human heart, overestimated Jia's mother's love for Lin Daiyu, coupled with the literati's nobility left in his bones, so he didn't take more precautions for his daughter.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoxiang quickly thought of a way to save himself.Do your best to keep Lin Ruhai alive, and don't relax just because you think your daughter is already reliable. You must live longer, longer!In the book, Lin Ruhai also died of illness a few years later. Before he was alive, if he could give birth to a son, he would be able to legitimately inherit the property of the Lin family.The younger brother is young, and the elder sister has to take the place of the parents and bring him up. That is an act of filial piety, and the government will reward him, so the clan or the Jia family have no reason to intervene.

In this day and age, this kind of behavior is a great sacrifice, which means that being a sister will delay her youth.When my younger brother grew up, he missed the good time of getting married and became an old girl.In the future, he could be wronged to marry an old man as his successor, and what's worse, he would never be able to leave the court for the rest of his life.Even if the younger brother is thinking of the kindness of nurturing, he was fine when he was alive, and he was taken care of by his younger brother and nephew, but after his death, is there no one to sacrifice?This situation, in the eyes of the ancients, was terrible and miserable.

However, for Lin Xiaoxiang, that was really the best thing he could have wished for.Whether it's Jia Baoyu or any other man, Lin Xiaoxiang doesn't want to marry at all!Doesn't she feel that the three views she has cultivated in the open and tolerant modern society for more than [-] years can find resonance here?Take Jia Baoyu, who is the most sympathetic and cherishing jade in the book, for example. Not to mention that he is not responsible, he is also entangled with men and women.It is true that Bao and Dai got married as they wished. I am afraid that Jia Baoyu will still be unable to let go of many good sisters and will take concubines from left to right. This couple may not be able to be harmonious. Since ancient times, it is easy to love and difficult to get along with each other!

Lin Daiyu in the book doesn't care about this, because in that era, all decent men had concubines, including her own father, which seemed to be a matter of course.But Lin Xiaoxiang can't tolerate it absolutely. If a husband can take concubines, can his wife be favored by men?

The Lin family is noble and rich, so as long as she can arrange her future life well, she can be the head of the family at ease.In the future, when the younger brother grows up, according to the rules of etiquette and the morality of the time, he must also treat the eldest sister who raised him well. There is a saying that "the elder sister is the mother", so why would she compete with a group of women for a hairpin? Cucumber, is it dirty?

Of course, Lin Xiaoxiang would never dare to say this, otherwise even Lin Ruhai would regard it as a treason or an evil spirit.Therefore, if it is justifiable not to marry, then it is a joy from heaven, and three glasses of congratulatory wine are right!

If it is adopted, it will be a little troublesome.The adopted child may not be able to regard himself as a family, and his original family may have other plans.Then Lin Xiaoxiang had to think of a way to deal with it every time he saw it.Therefore, if it is an adoption, then keep your eyes open and choose carefully!

Marriage seems to be a way out, but it is actually more hidden dangers than adopting.In this day and age, any decent man would not think of being a door-to-door son-in-law. Unlike Japan, China has the custom of recruiting a son-in-law, and the quality and character of the son-in-law cannot be guaranteed at all.Lin Xiaoxiang didn't want to be wiped out, but with the wealth of the Lin family, he could fulfill a man's greed and ambition!

But the most important thing right now is how to dispel Lin Ruhai's dissatisfaction.Lin Xiaoxiang heard from Nanny Wang that since his wife passed away, her grandmother, the old lady of the Jia family, has sent several letters to comfort her father in mourning. In addition, she is discussing that she will be taken to the Rongguo Mansion in the capital, and she will take care of her personally. upbringing.

"I'm fine at my own home. Why did I leave my father and go to my grandmother's?" Lin Xiaoxiang pretended to be a child and asked doubtfully, "I've never met my grandmother. Is she closer than my father? She never Will it be better than my father? I don’t want to go, I don’t want to leave my father! Does my father not want me anymore?”

"Girl, you don't know. After your wife dies, there will be no one in your family who can educate you. In the future, when you grow up, people will pick on you when you talk about your marriage." Nanny Wang sighed.

"With my father around, who would bully me?" Lin Xiaoxiang squeezed out a few tears and said with a choked voice, "Is my grandmother's house far from Yangzhou? If I went, my father wouldn't know about it and wouldn't be able to do anything for me if I was wronged." scholar!"

According to Lin Daiyu's performance in the past, she cried hard until her face turned pale, she refused to eat, and hid in the room to be sad.Uh, in fact, I went to sleep to rest my mind.

Lin Xiaoxiang understands that as the only child of the Lin family, Lin Daiyu's status in the Lin family is very important.Mother Wang will definitely tell Lin Ruhai about my words today and the conflict and sadness I have shown.According to what is written in the book, and what he has observed and heard these days, Lin Ruhai can be said to be a loving father, especially now that he has only one daughter under his knees, Lin Daiyu, which is even more precious, and he will pay attention to it and consider it carefully.

Lin Xiaoxiang was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her mind was constantly active, she had to think carefully about how to persuade Lin Ruhai.
