Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

Half a month later, Lin Ruhai, after seeking Brother Xi's wishes, announced that he was adopted as an adopted son. Witnessed by the head of the Lin family clan and elders, Lin Ruhai formally went through the formalities of adoption. Brother Xi changed his name to Lin Chenxi and let him go Added a family tree under his own name.Afterwards, immediately go to the government to file for the record and modify the household registration.After intensive operations, the matter of adoption was settled.

Brother Xi's eldest brother has already separated from them, so there is no need to ask his opinion, just inform him.Seeing that Brother Xi was secretly worried about the fact that little Pearl was left alone, Lin Daiyu simply offered to take her to the Lin family to live with her.She ordered her servants to tidy up little Zhuer's house, and prepared to assign a maidservant to take care of her basic necessities, food, housing and transportation. She also gave her monthly money, but it was only according to the standards of relatives and young ladies living here.She felt that it was okay for me to treat others with kindness, but the way to Chang'an was to establish rules from the very beginning and set boundaries for each other.Many entanglements and troubles between people are caused by the blurred boundaries between each other.She thinks Brother Xi is a good boy, and little Zhuer is also very young, but her heart is fickle. She doesn't want to raise their hearts, and everyone will be in trouble.

Brother Xi is naturally grateful and happy about this, but his elder brother is a little unwilling. The younger siblings he usually despises have good places to go, but he himself lives an ordinary life.He was going to make a fuss by taking advantage of his elder brother's status, so he held little Pearl and asked the Lin family to give him a large sum of money.

Some people persuaded Lin Ruhai to spend money to eliminate the disaster, and sent him away with a sum of money; or, simply don't let little Zhuer enter the Lin mansion. Originally, Brother Xi was the only adoptive person, so let someone take care of her daily. Then she The eldest brother can no longer make use of the problem.

Lin Daiyu did not agree with such a statement.The Lin family can't bow their heads, others can see it.The wealth of the Lin family is impressive, and the family members are very thin. Brother Xi is adopted and is still young, so there must be someone in the clan who doesn't think highly of him.If Lin Ruhai is in good health, that's okay, no one will jump out and embarrass her.However, according to the plot, Lin Ruhai won't live for a few years. Lin Daiyu is not sure if she can change his fate by flapping her wings as a butterfly who travels through time.Today, the Lin family looked back and showed their timidity. In the next day, Lin Ruhai will drive away, leaving only her and Brother Xi to depend on each other. The Lin family and the Jia family may all have thoughts.Therefore, now she must fully demonstrate her tough attitude to intimidate her, and use this to establish her prestige!

What's more difficult is Brother Ping's side.When the Jin family heard that the Lin family didn't choose his son and sent someone to send him back, he immediately became angry.She dragged Brother Ping to the patriarch's house, crying with snot and tears, how Brother Daoping respected Lin Ruhai and loved Lin Daiyu, but now he is abandoned like a contempt, there must be that treacherous villain She played tricks in front of Mr. Lin and made up lies to pour dirty water on Brother Ping. As a mother, she must seek justice for her son.

Jin's idea was that if Lin Ruhai's decision could not be changed, then brother Ping must be compensated generously, and the family could not just dream in vain.

After the steward reported the news, Lin Daiyu decided to face it in person, as the eldest daughter of the Lin family.Such troubles will arise sooner or later, and now that Lin Ruhai is behind her, she still has something to rely on, and she must seize the opportunity to win this battle.

The Jin family wanted to come to ask for an explanation, so Lin Daiyu invited the patriarch and elders in advance.Originally, the Lin family didn't want to make public what Brother Ping had done, but the Jin couple instigated their son not to follow the right path, and even the villain would file a complaint first and touch the victim, which really pissed her off.When Lin Ruhai heard about it, he had been depressed for a long time, and after getting along with him for many days, he also had some affection for the clever Ping, so he turned against him at this moment, and felt a little hurt emotionally.Lin Daiyu thoughtfully took care of the aftermath and didn't let him worry about the inner house, in fact, she was afraid that he would be soft-hearted and sympathetic.

Lin Daiyu sat in the flower hall, listening to Jin's tearful confession of her son's grievances, alluding to the fact that the Lin family was deceived and wronged Ping.Although Lin Ruhai is an official, he is also a member of the Lin clan with them, so he asks the patriarch and all the clan elders to uphold justice.

"Aunt Jin, you said Brother Ping has been wronged in our house?" Lin Daiyu waited for her to finish speaking, and said indifferently: "Then ask the housekeeper to tell the clan elders about all the treatment and expenses that Brother Ping has received since he came to the Lin family. Listen, I believe everyone will judge for themselves!"

In front of everyone, the housekeeper counted the treatment that the Lin family gave Brother Ping one by one: basic necessities, food, shelter, servants, generous monthly money, second-class Jinshi as a teacher, and the master and girl also treated him kindly and caringly.

"Elders, please comment. This is the mistreatment that Aunt Jin said. Is her statement reasonable?" Lin Daiyu asked with lowered eyes.

The clan elders looked at each other and shook their heads.Jin was also at a loss for words for a moment, she thought that Lin Ruhai would not come to confront her in person because of her self-proclaimed status, and Lin Daiyu was young, so she didn't have the ability to argue, so she had the courage to come to her door.Who would have thought that this little girl would be so sharp-tongued.But the arrow is on the string, and we have to shoot it. It is expected that they are members of the same clan, Lin Ruhai also has some scruples.

She immediately said again: "Since the Lin family is so kind to Brother Ping, they must be satisfied with him. Then why did they abandon him again? Could it be that someone has made troubles and framed Brother Ping?"

Lin Daiyu looked at Mrs. Jin quietly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Aunt Jin, if I were you, I wouldn't be so recalcitrant. Let's keep some dignity!"

"Where do you start with this?" Jin's heart trembled, a little guilty, and then he hardened his voice: "My brother Ping, how can you let you 'come and go when you call'? He is despised by you, Weeping bitterly at home, hating myself for not being up to date, now I have no desire to eat tea and rice, and I am sad and depressed all day long. My good son has been made like this by your family, shouldn’t you give me an explanation? Could it be your father? If you are a high official, you can bully your clansmen?"

"Aunt Jin, you should think about it carefully, do you really want my family to give you an explanation?" Lin Daiyu asked slowly.

"Naturally!" Seeing Lin Daiyu's calm attitude, Jin's courage suddenly strengthened: "Brother Ping is mentally unstable after being hit like this. Either your father adopts him too, or your family pays him to take care of him." Forever!"

"Jin family, your request is too much!" The patriarch frowned and said, "Don't be so greedy!" He said, and turned to Lin Daiyu to persuade: "My niece, after all, brother Ping has been staying in your house for a long time. In time, he and Ruhai have developed a friendship, and his family is not very wealthy. Since ancient times, it is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. Since Ruhai said that the family affairs are all in the hands of you, I think it is better to discuss it with your aunt's family. A sum of money, let’s end this matter! We are all of the same clan, peace is the most important thing!”

He is the patriarch, and he doesn't want to cause disputes in the clan.Compared to Jin's wallowing and throwing, it's better to talk about Lin Ruhai, he is a decent person, and he has to take care of face.The family property is also rich, and a little money is nothing to him.Besides, the clan also had other plans, thinking that Lin Ruhai could contribute more to the clan, this could be regarded as asking for directions.

"Yes, my Lin family is a generous family. My father had planned before that no matter who is selected by Ping and Xi, they will make perfect arrangements for the one who is not selected. They will settle down with money and find A good academy will pay for his education." Lin Daiyu said indifferently, then her tone changed, and her words brought a sharp meaning: "But now, the Lin family doesn't want to give Brother Ping a penny!"

"Oh my god, you guys are bullying people like this!" Jin howled, "The patriarch and all the clan elders are going to make decisions for us!" But she couldn't help but feel panic in her heart: Could it be that Brother Ping did something and let Lin Ruhai know up?No, no, the Lin family didn't say anything, at most they suspected a thing or two!

"Aunt Xu in our family fell and was injured in the garden a few days ago. Since she was diagnosed by Dr. Ye that day, she has been following the doctor's advice, living in a simple place, and only going for a walk in the garden. After checking, after her On the ground that must be passed to the garden, someone poured oil all the way. During the time when Aunt Xu was convalescing, Brother Ping stayed in the garden uncharacteristically all day. On that day, Aunt Xu slipped and fell, Brother Ping has appeared in that place, and he is the only one, and these housekeepers have seen it." Lin Daiyu said slowly, with a cold look in her eyes.

"My master specially invited Doctor Ye, a famous doctor in Jinling, to take care of his aunts. Doctor Ye is best at childbirth. It is said that there is a secret recipe handed down from his family that can change the sex of a fetus in a pregnant woman. I don't know if it is true or not, and he is unwilling to publicize it. It's just that the people who asked him to help finally gave birth to baby boys as they wished. It's just that his consultation fee is too high, 3000 taels of silver, which ordinary people can't afford. Even officials and officials can't afford to waste such money It only costs a few taels of silver to carry a concubine, and the son can give birth slowly as much as possible, and the medicine will hurt the body. Only those who really can't do it have to act like that." Wang Momo on the side sighed. It's not convenient for Lin Daiyu, a lady in a deep boudoir, to say these words.Therefore, when Nanny Wang was talking eloquently, Lin Daiyu kept her eyes closed and remained silent.

Now, the patriarch and the patriarchs knew it in their hearts, and their disapproving eyes suddenly focused on Jin.It turned out that Brother Ping coveted the wealth of the Lin family and plotted against the pregnant concubine of the Lin family, and he should have succeeded. Otherwise, why would Lin Ruhai suddenly settle on Brother Xi!No one can keep such a child, Jin is still determined to make it up, it's a dream!

Jin didn't expect that his son's actions would be watched by others. He panicked and insisted: "Don't wrong a good man. Do you have physical evidence and only fabricated it out of thin air to insult people's innocence?"

"Since Aunt Jin refuses to admit it, she insists on asking my Lin family for an explanation." Lin Daiyu said lightly, "Then, report to the authorities! I believe that Ying Tianfu will be able to see clearly, so I invite them to open the trial of this case, so as to pay back my father and my father." The Lin family has a clear name."

"This is absolutely impossible!" The patriarch and the elders stopped in unison, and the Jin family became panicked. If the government finds out the clues, then Brother Ping's life will be ruined. He is ungrateful and has a vicious mind. !Even at home, they will be reviled and rejected by others.

"Why not?" Lin Daiyu's face was condensed, and she did not back down to the elders of the clan, but she was a girl who had not yet grown up, and she had a strong and tough aura on her body, which made them feel a little bit oppressive: "Right and wrong, you have to make a judgment, that's only fair!"

"You clan elders brought the Jin family to the door, didn't they just want my Lin family to give an explanation? Why, my Lin family can't prove my innocence yet?"

"If there is any dispute, it can be resolved within the clan. Why do you need to go to court?" A clan elder, Lin Xiucai's uncle, naturally leaned towards the Jin family, and said coldly: "Why does your father let you, a little girl, show up in the public eye?" , is not polite to the elders! Ru Hai, let him come, let's talk to him, do you, a little girl, have a place to talk here!"

"I am the eldest daughter of the Lin family. I am now the housekeeper of the Lin family. This is also recognized by my father." Lin Daiyu said coldly: "Even if you have not become an official, you are still a scholar. You should understand the principle that the law of the country is the most important! If you don't know, we Just go to Ying Tianfu and ask for clarification. Today, the elders of the family will forcibly control the internal affairs of my Lin family, will they be able to rely on the seniority of the family to guide my father's official affairs in the future?"

After speaking, Lin Daiyu raised her voice and said: "Steward Zhao, quickly take the master's name card and go to Yingtian Mansion to report the case. Someone in the clan murdered the Lin family's heirs. Please send out competent officials to investigate!"

She turned to the old man and said, "Brother Ping wants to call you 'uncle grandpa'. In this case, you should avoid suspicion! The ancients said: the selfish winner can destroy the public!"

"You!" The clan elder was choked up by the blunt words, gasped for breath, and couldn't argue with a little girl.

The patriarch was secretly startled. He heard that Lin Ruhai's daughter was a weak daughter who had always been pampered in a boudoir. How could she be so sharp, and the housekeeper was very organized.Otherwise, Brother Ping would not be seen by others for doing such a dark thing, and he would be sent out so quickly.I'm afraid that since they entered the mansion, their actions were all under the observation of the Lin family. This woman is not simple!

He thought for a while, seeing Lin Daiyu's tough attitude, if he really asked Ying Tianfu to investigate, the clues left by Brother Ping would definitely be discovered.If it is not handled properly today, I am afraid that Lin Ruhai's family and clan will cut off their ties, and those petty thoughts will be put away.Between the Lin family and the Jin family, who to choose, isn't it easy to decide?

He cleared his throat and said softly, "Niece"

After a long time, the patriarchs and clan elders came out of the Lin Mansion with the Jin family, all with serious expressions on their faces.

The patriarch glanced at Jin, his face showing anger, he snorted coldly, ignored her, and left with the clan elders.Along the way, they were all lamenting that if the family marries an unvirtuous wife, it will be a disaster for their children and grandchildren; I made a mistake because I and my parents were wrong, alas!Also, Lin Ruhai's daughter is really good at speaking and good at tricks. It's a pity that if she is a boy, the Lin family will add another talent with such a family background.

Just now, due to the situation, they could only write down a document stating that brother Ming Ping had misbehaved, so the Lin family did not choose him to adopt him. Since then, the two parties have no relationship, and the Lin family will no longer pursue the report.The Jin family pressed their fingerprints, and the patriarch and elders all signed the document in turn as witnesses.

Lin Daiyu took the opportunity to ask the patriarch to invite little Zhuer to visit the Lin Mansion, and little Zhuer agreed.Now that the family had been separated, little Pearl's elder brother never cared about the lives of his younger siblings, so he had no right to decide.In this embarrassing situation, the patriarch readily agreed.

Mrs. Jin stood at the gate of the Lin Mansion in a daze, looking at the exquisite and beautiful garden, her legs softened, thinking that her son's bright future would have been ruined by a single mistake, sobbing loudly.

Lin Daiyu carefully folded the documents in black and white on the table, and smiled slightly.She didn't lie. From the beginning to the end, she didn't mention that Aunt Xu was pregnant. Besides being a master of obstetrics, Dr. Ye also sees many other diseases, such as stomach upset, nausea and vomiting, etc. wait.

Patriarch, patriarch, Jin, you are overthinking it!
