Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

Lin Ruhai did not publicly announce the news.Brother Ping was playing in the garden one day, and he overheard the housekeeper and Nanny Wang whispering in the corner, looking vigilant.He stepped forward curiously, only to hear the butler say that Aunt Xu is pregnant, and because the time is still young, the master ordered not to make any public announcement for now, for fear of being tricked by others and causing an accident.But the master told him to quietly improve Aunt Xu's treatment, to prepare expensive supplements for her every day, and to ask a capable nanny to take care of her in a few days.The invited famous doctor, Dr. Ye, has an ancestral secret recipe that can convert a newly conceived fetus into a male fetus. If you take it for three months, you can guarantee that the baby will be a son. It's just that the mother's body will be damaged in the future, but compared to the inheritance of the Lin family's blood , that can't be taken care of.The master is in poor health, this may be the last child of the master, so it must not be lost, and must be strictly guarded.

"Wang Momo, this is such a happy event!" The housekeeper said to Wang Momo: "It is not only for the Lin family, the master, but also the girl, it will also benefit a lot. In the future, a brother will help, even if the master is gone, the girl I won't be bullied anymore! Otherwise, the girl is just a woman, and the clan will also calculate the Lin family's property, so it will be cheaper for others. The old slave has been greatly favored by the Lin family for generations, how can I bear to see this happen?"

"The old housekeeper just needs to be at ease!" Wang Momo assured her, patting her chest, "The girl is not as small-minded as before, so why can't she understand this? You see, she gets along very well with Brother Ping and Brother Xi." , Why did the master pick them up, the girl also knows well. Now that I have a younger brother, isn't it better than the outsider?"

"That's good, that's good!" The butler nodded in relief.He also earnestly asked Nanny Wang not to let out what she said just now, especially not to let Brother Ping and Brother Xi know.

"The master will not treat them badly. He will give them property at home and arrange for them to go to a good academy. If they can help in the future, they will lend a hand. When they grow up, if they become talents and have a good character, the master is willing to accept them." They are disciples, teach them knowledge, and the cost of scientific examinations in the future can also be funded by the Lin family. How can they complain about such kind treatment?" The housekeeper said firmly.

No complaints, why not?Brother Ping clenched his teeth tightly, afraid that if he was not careful, he would blurt out words full of resentment and complaints.He tightly covered his mouth, disappointment, sourness, and hatred rolled in his heart, and he couldn't restrain himself.

Lin Ruhai is going to have her own son!Then, he naturally doesn't want a fake son, no matter whether he or Brother Xi, he will go back to wherever he came from in not too long a day!Everything in these days is like a beautiful dream, but no matter how happy the dream is, it will eventually wake up!

But, he doesn't want to!He is used to the exquisite and comfortable life of the Lin family; he is used to daily activities, and there are servants and maids to take care of him properly; It was a world of difference to be a teacher in a private school; he was more used to being looked up to because of his relationship with the Lin family, and the feeling of glory made him extremely intoxicated

Everything that dazzled him could only be obtained effortlessly in the Lin family. If it was in his home with three small courtyards and three or four servants, it would be unattainable in a lifetime!

He barely suppressed the anxiety in his heart, observed carefully for a few days, and spent some money to inquire among the servants, and found that Aunt Xu's treatment has been greatly improved recently, and the daily diet is rich and fine, far exceeding what Aunt Xu received. example.Rare and hard-to-find good things were sent into her yard like a stream, even if Lin Daiyu didn't have them, they were supplied to her first, but she refused to make any publicity.Even the servants who took his money to inquire were surprised. Master Dao is so polite and loves the girl so much, why did he let Aunt Xu overstep him?Is this Aunt Xu so favored?

favored?The one who dotes on is the son in her womb, right?Brother Ping thought bitterly, it seems that the news is true!He is not reconciled!He growled in his heart.

In the next few days, Brother Ping was a little distraught. He couldn't help being distracted during class and eating. Distraught, he reasoned that his mother was sick and wanted to go back to visit. He went home and went to discuss with his parents.

Seeing her son who hadn't returned home for many days, Jin's face was full of smiles, and she rushed to ask for help.After hearing the news that Brother Ping uttered in panic, Jin's face turned pale with fright, and she was angry and anxious. The wealth that was about to be acquired actually wanted to grow wings and fly away?This, is the hope of their family to turn around. My husband and the other two sons are still counting on it!This is really God has no eyes and refuses to make it happen!

After thinking for a long time, Jin leaned close to Brother Ping's ear and said something in a low voice.Lin Xiucai was not too far away, only a few words reached his ears, his face hesitated, his lips moved, but he didn't open his mouth after all, and walked out slowly.

Two days later, Brother Ping returned to the Lin Mansion, living as usual, studying as usual every day, and did not show any abnormalities.However, every day when he got out of the study, he took a book and wandered around the garden of the mansion, looking for something in his eyes.Facing Lin Daiyu, she is still courteous.When meeting Lin Ruhai, she was even more respectful and courteous.

On that day, it had just rained, and Aunt Xu was so stuffy in the house, she helped a maid and went to the garden to breathe.While walking, she found that she had forgotten her handkerchief in the house, so she sent her servant girl back to get it. She was walking alone by the small lake, and accidentally slipped, and immediately fell heavily on the ground, spraining her feet and waist. , I couldn't get up at that time.

"Go ask the doctor to diagnose Xu, just prescribe good medicine, don't hurt the bones." On the same day, this matter was reported to Lin Ruhai's ears.

"Did brother Ping really do this?" Lin Ruhai asked again worriedly, he didn't want to wrong a child.

"Indeed." The housekeeper replied, "Since the news spread, I have been sending people to keep an eye on the two elder brothers. A few days ago, Brother Ping secretly inquired about Aunt Xu's situation, and then made a special trip back A trip home. After returning, he often lingers in the garden, but he secretly pays attention to it. Today, he saw Aunt Xu coming out in the garden, so he bent over and fiddled with her on the way she must pass. I sent someone to follow her People didn't understand it, but after Aunt Xu slipped and fell, I immediately went to check it. There were small puddles of oil on the road, and I would slip when I stepped on it. No one set foot in that place today, only Brother Ping I came here alone, and later I found him quietly wiping the ground. It can be seen that he did something wrong, and this old servant is absolutely right!"

Lin Ruhai was silent for a while, then sighed: "On weekdays, he looks a little frivolous, but he is quick-witted and lively. He treats Daiyu and me respectfully and politely. I never imagined that he would have such dark thoughts. How old is he? ! His family didn’t teach him well!”

"If there are slight deficiencies in other aspects, then that's fine, you can cultivate it slowly. But poor character, that is a huge flaw!" Lin Ruhai's face darkened.What the butler said to Wang Momo was to remind Brother Ping that even if he was not selected, he would never treat him badly, and the treatment given to him was kind enough.Unexpectedly, he completely disregarded the Lin family's kindness to him, and acted like a white-eyed wolf, which is really chilling!I really dare not imagine that if I am confused by his appearance, I will adopt him.In the future, wait until I pass away.Can such a cruel and cold-hearted person treat Yu'er kindly?

"It's better that Yu'er came up with a method, just like a mirror that reveals a demon, and can test out each person's character at once!" Lin Ruhai said coldly.The butler beside him also nodded in agreement, the girl is indeed thoughtful.

So, in fact, Aunt Xu was not pregnant, and this was a setup from beginning to end.

Seeing that there will be another season of harvesting in the rice field, the rice and fish seem to be growing very well. After finding an experienced farmer to estimate, the yield is a little higher than the previous season, because it is the first season. Secondary breeding has accumulated experience.Lin Ruhai immediately submitted a memorial to the emperor, presenting this method.His daughter was filial to him, and he wanted to think about her, so he also stated in the memorial that this was thought out by his daughter, and it was her credit.

After seeing it today, I was overjoyed and ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to send people to Jiangnan for on-the-spot inspections.It is confirmed that the results are really as stated in Lin Ruhai's memorial, and this method of raising fish in rice fields is very suitable for experimentation and promotion in places with sufficient water sources.If each mu of paddy fields can increase the yield of tens of catties of rice, even if this method can only be implemented in the south, and there are conditions, but the accumulation of sand into mounds, accumulation of water into abyss, and the accumulation of paddy fields all over the world, the amount will be astonishing. .You can also harvest [-] catties of grass carp. For farmers, whether it is selling money or eating at home, it is a big subsidy, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and in the farming society, the imperial court cannot obliterate such a real contribution.What's more, Lin Ruhai has already surrendered to himself. Although he is an old minister of the Supreme Emperor, he has always acted with restraint, which is different from the Zhen family and the four kings and eight princes. I heard that he also refused to send his daughter to Jia's family two years ago, which shows that he has already renounced. Now that he has presented this certificate, he can be regarded as a courtier who knows how to advance and retreat, and is in awe. Not everyone can disregard his family and life, and it is normal to have selfishness.That's all, since he wants to let go of his job as a salt censor, then let him do as he wishes!

After thinking about it now, I plan to replace him with a ruthless confidant in Yangzhou as the salt censor in a while, let Lin Ruhai resign with a memorial, and transfer him to the capital to support him in a leisurely position. Rise up, also by your own grace.

After receiving this promise, Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief, he was finally able to escape from this fatal position!No matter how rich the inspector is, he dare not be greedy, and secondly, there is no need to be greedy. For him, it is even worse than tasteless.Leaving Jiangnan far away, he no longer needs to worry about the influence of the Zhen family. When he arrives in the capital, at the foot of the emperor, his family will be safe and sound. It is a blessing!

It's just that the Jia family will inevitably come to pester her at that time.Lin Ruhai frowned, feeling a little annoyed.But compared to the safety of the Lin family, it is always the lesser of two evils.At that time, let's see the tricks, it's just the Yue family, and we can't do anything to ourselves.

Thanks to the child Daiyu, what a pity, if she were a son, the Lin family would have no regrets!Dr. Ye has diagnosed himself many times. A few days ago, he euphemistically stated that the number of descendants of the Lin family is rare, which is related to the physique inherited by the Lin family. This is um, the male essence is weak.In the past, he could still give birth to heirs because he was young and healthy.Now that he is half a hundred years old, he has made up his head again, and the semen is exhausted. In short, no matter how difficult it is for concubine Ji to conceive, if she conceives by force, the offspring will also be congenitally deficient and cannot be raised.

Accepting this reality painfully, Lin Ruhai had no choice but to make up his mind to adopt, but he hesitated between Brother Ping and Brother Xi.Brother Ping is flexible and Brother Xi is steady, each has its own advantages.Brother Xi was respectful and polite to him, but his temperament was restrained. Although he praised him in his mouth, in his heart, he was more inclined to Brother Ping who was very close to him and had a sweet mouth.However, in Lin Ruhai's heart, the most important thing is of course Lin Daiyu.It would be best for his adopted son to be able to stand out, and it's okay if he can't, but he must have a good character and temperament.If you accept a white-eyed wolf, it will be a pain for Daiyu!

However, soon, his family will go to the capital. During this time, he has to make a choice, and Lin Ruhai is really in a dilemma.Thinking that this was closely related to Lin Daiyu, he told her these things. A daughter with a deep heart can discuss important family matters with her.

Lin Daiyu only felt that Brother Xi was more reassuring, but she had no basis to convince Lin Ruhai.Coincidentally, at this time, Xu's menstruation had passed for more than a month, she herself felt unwell, and she only thought that she was pregnant, and it was also because she had been eagerly looking forward to it.After Dr. Ye diagnosed her, he said that she was not pregnant, but because of irregular menstrual blood, and planned to prescribe a prescription for her.

After Lin Daiyu knew about it, she suddenly came up with a way to test the two children.She made Dr. Ye ambiguous, and ordered people to send various supplements to Mrs. Xu every day, secretly signaling Mrs. Xu that the master would use this to check the character of the two brothers.Naturally, Xu did not dare to disobey Lin Ruhai, and also cooperated with acting.Then quietly ordered the housekeeper and Wang Momo to pretend to discuss the matter, and to disclose the news to the two elder brothers respectively, to see their reactions.

"Sister Yu," Brother Xi carefully held a pot of flowers that bloomed beautifully: "I dug this from the mountain. I don't know the name, but it is very beautiful, so I gave it to you."

"It's beautiful!" Lin Daiyu asked with a smile, "But why did you suddenly think of giving it to me?"

Brother Xi's eyes dimmed for a moment: "Sister Yu, I'm leaving, you have been taking good care of me. I, I don't have anything, I can only give this potted flower, will you like it?"

"You know?" Lin Daiyu asked quietly.

Brother Xi nodded slightly.

"Aren't you angry? Don't complain in your heart?" Lin Daiyu carefully observed his expression.

"Why are you angry?" Brother Xi was a little depressed, but there was no resentment: "Uncle Lin wants to have a child of his own, so naturally we can no longer stay in Lin's mansion. Isn't it natural to like our son? Besides, I I heard from the housekeeper and Nanny Wang that Uncle Lin made such a good arrangement for me, Brother Ping, to go to school and give money, I am very grateful!"

"Sister Yu, you and Uncle Lin are very good to me, I won't complain. My mother can leave me alone, and you have taken care of me for so long. Sister Yu even took care of my younger sister."

"After I go back, I will study hard. After I learn well, I will worship Uncle Lin as my teacher. We can meet again."

Lin Daiyu smiled brightly, this child has a generous heart.She asked someone to find out that brother Xi was also very kind to his half-sister, and often went out of the house to visit and buy food for her.He said, both of them were abandoned, and they depended on each other to live their lives. As the older brother, he naturally had the responsibility to take care of his younger sister.A person with this kind of heart will think of others' kindness to him.

What if he faked all this?Lin Daiyu blinked her eyes and thought.

Well, with this scheming, I will have to deal with the Jia family or other people who have money for the Lin family in the future.But there is an ally with the same interests, I believe he will be a brainy person who can always understand the pros and cons; even if he has any thoughts, he must show respect and protect himself, which is kind to him The eldest sister who is very good, can't give people an excuse.That's enough, regardless of deeds in everything!Lin Daiyu also doesn't want to control the Lin family, she just wants to get rid of the prying eyes of others and live a free and easy life.

So, she decided, it was Brother Xi.

We will become a pair of siblings who get along harmoniously and compose a love story together, won't we?
