Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

Jia Yuanchun saved his relatives during the Lantern Festival, and when the Luan came, everyone knelt down and bowed to the ground, in high spirits.Looking around, they were all Jia's family, and they didn't see the Lin Ruhai father and daughter she specifically mentioned, nor did they see the Wang family and Shi family, so they felt a little unhappy.After summoning the Jia family, she was even more unhappy when Mrs. Wang mentioned that the Lin family was indifferent and disrespectful to her family.But thinking that although my uncle is very powerful, he is just like my family, only Wu Xun. Now that the world has been at peace for a long time, Wu Xun's status is getting lower and lower, and the Lin family has some connections among civil servants, which the Jia family lacks. .Therefore, Jia Yuanchun ordered his family to be tolerant of the Lin family, and gave Lin Daiyu a gift like the sisters of the Jia family.She is a virtuous concubine who is generous and magnanimous, and has a respected status, but she doesn't care about the narrow-minded Lin family.

The three of the Lin family spent New Year's Eve peacefully at home, and then left the Lin mansion with a group of servants.They booked a few courtyards in an elegant temple on the outskirts of Beijing. It was rare for them to steal half a day of leisure and relax for a few days, ignoring the noise of others.

They sent a gift to the Rongguo Mansion years ago, which was much thinner than when Jia Min was alive. It was delivered by the old housekeeper of the Lin family, and also euphemistically conveyed Lin Ruhai's meaning: The Lin family paid for the salt tax. It's broken, it's not the same as before.Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be some simplicity in the relationship between relatives. Please forgive me.The second day of junior high school was originally the day when the married daughter returned to her natal family, but Lin Daiyu didn't want to go to Jia's house again to see the faces of Jia's family, so she discussed with Lin Ruhai. The Jia family explained that the day of praying for the ancestors of the Lin family was set by the eminent monks and should not be delayed.

The Jia family was naturally unhappy. The Lin family's estrangement and indifference were so obvious that they didn't try to cover it up. They knew it well.But they couldn't say anything, the Geinlings were doing everything right.

Do you want to despise other people's meager etiquette?But among the in-laws' etiquette, the Lin family is also considered average, only not as surprisingly rich as in the past; picky that the Lin family's father and daughter did not come to visit for New Year's greetings, but they want to pray for their ancestors, so naturally they can't care about it.Not to mention that Lin Ruhai is only the son-in-law of the Jia family, Lin Daiyu is also the daughter of the Lin family first, and then the granddaughter of the Jia family. According to the law of etiquette, the Lin family should naturally be the most important.

After the Lantern Festival, the Lin family returned from the temple.The Jia family sent Zhou Rui's family to come to the door to present the reward of the virtuous concubine. When talking about the grand occasion of visiting relatives, the meaning behind the words was very proud of it. It's because of the empress's broad-mindedness and grace.

Lin Daiyu glanced at the rewards that were delivered, they were nothing more than a new book, one precious inkstone, and two pairs of gold and silver in a new format. Girls' rituals are much richer than this.She sneered in her heart, things were nothing, she didn't care about the importance, but the Lin family paid 1 taels of silver, just for that, and the Lin family should be grateful?The Jia family and Concubine Xiande also think too highly of themselves!

Too lazy to talk to the servants, Lin Daiyu sent Zhou Rui's family away without even giving any reward.Of course she knew that Zhou Rui's family would gossip with Mrs. Wang when they turned back, but she didn't care, she couldn't be lenient, but she could definitely 'be strong without desire'!She still hopes that the Lin family and Jia family will be torn apart as soon as possible.

The days passed like this day by day.But in less than a year, Lin Ruhai suddenly fell ill, and it got worse day by day.After a long time, I will be bedridden, and I will run out of oil and the lamp will dry up.Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Chenxi also stopped her studies, returned home, and together with Lin Daiyu, took care of Lin Ruhai day and night before her sick bed.Lin's family searched for famous doctors everywhere, and invited the imperial physician from the palace to come to consult, but the results were not great. Lin Ruhai was still seriously ill. The imperial doctor secretly told Lin Daiyu that Lin Ruhai might be overwhelmed, and the Lin family should make arrangements as soon as possible. .

Lin Daiyu and Lin Ruhai have been together for several years, and he has always been cared and trusted by him. Although he cannot be regarded as a father psychologically, a deep bond has developed over time.Hearing this, I also feel very sad.At the same time, he was secretly shocked.Lin Ruhai had a sudden attack this time. Since he jumped out of the big pit of the salt business, he has relieved the burden on his heart, and his health has improved a lot compared to when he was in Yangzhou. Lin Chenxi grew up.At that time, the Jia family had already been charged with ransacking the house, and the Lin family could no longer be endangered.But unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai would suddenly fall down. It seems that there seems to be a divine will in the dark, and she doesn't want Lin Daiyu to go through this calamity smoothly!

Looking at Lin Chenxi and little Zhu'er who were standing beside her with pale faces and helpless when they heard the words together, Lin Daiyu sighed, stepped forward to hold one in each hand, and comforted in a warm voice: "Don't be afraid, there is sister here I am!"

She calmed down and took a deep breath.At least, she has done a lot, and the fate of the original owner has been reversed.Now the initiative is in my own hands, even if the Jia family has all sorts of schemes, as long as they stand still, can they still act like cows without drinking water and press their heads openly, openly persecuting them?Don't forget, this is at the feet of the emperor!When Lin Ruhai passed away, his identity was also the respected Secretary of the Imperial Academy, not the former Xunyan Yushi who was blamed by the emperor!Also, during this time, she will discuss with Lin Ruhai, selectively tell him some inside information, and ask him to make arrangements behind him.She couldn't believe it. Under such circumstances, the Jia family could greedily devour the Lin family's property and control their own destiny?

She is not the Lin Daiyu who has nowhere to go, no matter how she changes on the surface, in her heart, she has always been the resolute Lin Xiaoxiang in modern society!Her fate is in her own hands!

Sensing her calmness, Lin Chenxi also calmed down, and said firmly, "Sister, don't be afraid, there is me too. I will study hard and support the Lin family in the future!"

Little Pearl didn't speak, but held Lin Daiyu's hand tightly to express her support.

Lin Daiyu nodded silently, they can't help her now.It's just that at such a moment, if someone can walk side by side with you, you won't be helpless and lonely on the way forward.In the days to come, they have the same interests and depend on each other for life!

On the sickbed, Lin Ruhai, who was thin and haggard, quietly listened to Lin Daiyu's plan, looked at his sad-faced daughter, and couldn't help asking questions that he had been puzzled for a long time: "Yu'er, I don't have much time. You have made arrangements. Jia family, over the years, I have also understood that it is no longer the situation when your grandfather was alive, and your grandmother doesn't have much affection for you. Behind me, I will think about attacking the Lin family It's an idea, even plotting against you! But, according to the common sense, granddaughters are not usually close to the grandfather's family, why are you completely different? Compared with me, you are more vigilant against the Jia family!"

"I remember that when your grandmother came to pick you up, you were very reluctant and complained to the Jia family. In fact, it also proved that your words were correct, and the Jia family really had evil intentions. But, you No matter how old you are, how can you tell, so keenly?"

Lin Ruhai said thoughtfully: "I'm ashamed of being a father, half my life is not as good as you understand! It's only my fault that I only remember the prosperity of the Jia family when your grandfather was alive. At that time, with your grandfather in charge, you Grandmother and uncle behaved fairly well. Your mother has a deep relationship with her natal family, and she never talked about the Jia family, so being a father will be even more confusing. But, why can you see the Jia family clearly alone? From your mother You will definitely not hear bad things about the Jia family!"

"That's right. The Jia family that my mother talks about has always been excellent, dignified and respectable. My grandmother is very kind and tolerant, and my uncles are motivated, so my daughter will naturally believe it. The servants in the family, no matter they are from the Jia family, It was the Lin family who gave birth to a child, and no one dared to tell me that the Jia family was not here. I am a little girl, how can I think so much, I will naturally think that my grandparents' family is good, love my mother, love Wu and Wu, and love me too! "Lin Daiyu had long thought that Lin Ruhai would notice this verse and would ask about it sooner or later, so she prepared a mixed rhetoric.

Speaking of this, Lin Daiyu showed a look of sadness and indignation on her face, and her voice became heavy: "But when Jia's family was about to send someone to pick me up to Beijing, one night, I had a nightmare."

"When I woke up, my pillow was wet from crying. I was so pitiful in that dream. I died alone in a foreign land, and I couldn't even bury my coffin with my parents." Lin Daiyu burst into tears: "The scene is vivid in my heart. At first, I thought it was just a nightmare. The next day, although I was sad, I would not take the dream scene seriously. Who knows, who knows, I had the same dream for a few days after that. I can no longer treat it as nothing. Coincidentally, the Jia family sent someone to pick me up to Beijing at this time. With this in mind, I looked at the Jia family carefully and found something wrong. It is said that my mother passed away, and the Jia family’s uncle, It’s okay if none of the cousins ​​came to express their condolences, and those who were sent were just ordinary servants, and none of them wore mourning or plain clothes for their mother. Although I can’t completely deny the Jia family because of this, it also shows that the Jia family has absolutely no What mother said is so good, so affectionate and righteous!"

"So, I tried to persuade my father that you didn't send me to Beijing. I know that the reason why the Lin family was swallowed up by the Jia family in my dream was all because I was a girl. If my father had a son, no matter whether it was the Jia family or the Lin family Clans are not qualified to spy on our family's property."

"So, like me, you also hope that the Lin family will have an heir to inherit." Lin Ruhai was so shocked that she couldn't speak at first, and when she thought of Lin Daiyu's concern about her begging for a son and her adoptive son, she had mixed feelings for a moment.Afterwards, the behavior of the Jia family was roughly the same as what Lin Daiyu saw in her dream, which also showed the greedy and ruthless face of the Jia family, such as Yuanchun concubine, for example, the Jia family came to 'borrow money'!But the Lin family, under the precautions of their daughter and themselves, have long since changed course and changed their ways. They are completely different, and their fate has also undergone a huge turning point.

Lin Ruhai was agitated. He thought, his daughter would definitely not talk nonsense. The reason why such a thing happened must be that the ancestors of the Lin family couldn't bear to see the blood of the Lin family cut off, so they borrowed a dream from Lin Daiyu to wake him up and save the Lin family. right!Then, the few years I live are all rewards from heaven. In this case, I must not disappoint the gift of heaven and the earnest expectations of my ancestors.

He looked at Lin Daiyu, clenched his hands, and made up his mind.Just for the good and filial children under his knees, he has to make comprehensive arrangements for them, so that his daughter will not be wronged, helpless, and die in tears like in a dream.

After Lin Daiyu retreated, Lin Ruhai lay on the bed alone, his heart was surging, and many thoughts floated in his mind, and he just thought about it quietly all night.

The next day, he struggled to get up and wrote a memorial.It wasn't too long, and he revised it repeatedly until he was satisfied. Then he copied it neatly with trembling hands.Immediately, the housekeeper was summoned, and the two sorted out the family's property, and personally drew up Lin Daiyu's dowry list.He also urged the stewards in the south of the Yangtze River to return to the capital immediately to narrate the story

After all this was done, Lin Ruhai ordered someone to summon Lin Daiyu, and explained to her in detail what he had done.
