Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

That day, Dafang's family finally returned without success.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian were really uncomfortable in the outer courtyard among a bunch of civil servants.In the past, the Jia family communicated with nobles like them, and many of them were old relatives. Their conversations and entertainments had familiar content and patterns. Now they can't talk to those civil servants at all.The civil servants were polite to them, but Jia She and his son could feel the indifference and contempt hidden beneath them.I didn't speak a few words with Lin Chenxi, but I couldn't get angry. My father just died, and I'm busy with greeting guests, so I don't have much time or thought to entertain you.Of course, if you are very close, it's another matter, but isn't he the uncle and cousin who only met once and don't know each other well!

Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng were a bit more embarrassed than their husbands.After Lin Daiyu broke up with them, she went to greet the guests next to her.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat alone on the chair, and the low-pitched discussions and titters of the crowd could be heard from time to time, even though their skins were not thin, they were also restless.After waiting for a long time, seeing that Lin Daiyu never came back, Wang Xifeng sent Ping'er to have a look.

Ping'er found Lin Daiyu.Seeing Miss Lin standing tall and straight in the mourning hall, her expression was condensed, she assigned staff and entertained guests with a calm and composed demeanor, and there was a little bit of power mixed with everyone's demeanor.Following Wang Xifeng, Ping'er had seen the world, and at this moment she couldn't help feeling admiration and awe, and didn't dare to neglect, so she hurriedly greeted Lin Daiyu with a smiling face.

Lin Daiyu has a good impression of Ping'er in the book. Seeing her respectful attitude, it's not hard for her to ask her to go back and tell Wang Xifeng that she can take care of Lin Ruhai's funeral. In the past, her father was also used to leave it to her to take care of it, so naturally she won't bother others in the future.I appreciate your master's kindness, but if I agree, in the eyes of others, I'm afraid it will lead to misunderstanding.Guadatian Lixia, this suspicion must be guarded against!I'm really busy today, I'm afraid I'll neglect you, it's getting late, the family's affairs are urgent, the sky is still bright, and the road is easier to walk

Ping'er's face was also burning hot, and she said this in a way that was not tactful. I never thought that Miss Lin would be so disregarding of feelings. When she looked up and saw Lin Daiyu's expression remained unchanged, and she looked at herself with raised eyebrows, she couldn't help feeling cold, and dared not persuade her again. After giving a salute, he left silently.

This was tantamount to kicking people out, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng couldn't sit still any longer, got up in embarrassment, and sent someone to the front yard to ask Jia to pardon Jia Lian.After Jia She and his son came out, they were very surprised when they heard what they said. Jia She secretly hated Lin Daiyu and his brother for their disrespect.But at this moment, there is no way to put on the airs of an uncle in front of everyone to teach him a lesson, for fear of being accused of bullying the poor orphan by relying on his status.Jia Amnesty can still see that those civil servants are protecting the Lin family siblings.

The group had no choice but to come to the mourning hall, bid farewell to Lin Daiyu and go back.Jia She looked at Lin Daiyu with anger and ferocity, and Mrs. Xing also looked angry.Lin Daiyu turned a blind eye and sent them out of the mourning hall calmly, with impeccable attitude and etiquette.

After returning to the Rongguo Mansion angrily, the four of them immediately reported the situation of the visit to the Lin Mansion to Jia's mother with embellishment. Everyone unanimously criticized Lin Daiyu for their negligence and rudeness towards Lin Daiyu and their wariness towards Jia's family. What was said was repeated in detail.

This girl was so cold-hearted and heartless, Jia's mother felt sour, angry and anxious, she never thought that she would be so difficult to deal with, she was really smart, she must have known Jia's intentions.

Mother Jia also felt a little guilty, knowing that the Jia family's move was not kind.However, the Jia family really needs the rich family business of the Lin family!The Grand View Garden is very magnificent, but it also hurt the Jia family's muscles and bones, and hurt their vitality.Yuan Chun is now in the palace, in order to stand out and win the emperor's favor, he has to take money to open the way, which costs a lot.The Jia family has to do their best to supply, and Yuan Chun has no other way to go, and the Jia family's hope is also pinned on Yuan Chun.That can only wrong you, Daiyu!Don't blame me, you also have the blood of my Jia family on your body, and you should do your best for the Jia family!

After pondering for a moment, Mother Jia closed her eyes: "Needless to say, I will go there myself when Lin Ruhai is about to go to the funeral!"

The cemetery of the Lin family is in the south of the Yangtze River. Lin Ruhai left a message before his death that his coffin will be temporarily placed in the Great Compassion Temple, under the protection of Buddhist fireworks.When Lin Chenxi grew up and became famous, he and Lin Daiyu personally sent his coffin back to Jiangnan for burial.According to his will, the funeral should be arranged in a low-key manner. The mourning hall in the Lin family's home was set up for half a month. After receiving many guests who came to express their condolences, Lin Daiyu and his brother planned to send their father's coffin to the Great Compassion Temple in person.

On the day of the funeral, Lin Ruhai's colleagues and friends all gathered at Lin's house.Send Lin Ruhai off for the last time.Just as everyone was offering incense to mourn, the servants came to report, and the old lady of the Jia family led all the Jia family to see the master off.

"Please!" Lin Daiyu knew in her heart that the Jia family's trip was definitely not to sincerely mourn Lin Ruhai.The comer is not kind, but fortunately, I have already prepared for it.Thinking of the scene where Jia's mother came here full of hope, she sang, read, played and performed; at the end, she went away in frustration because of a bad game, Lin Daiyu felt unspeakably happy, really refreshing!

She is not that otherworldly fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world. She is more willing to deal with such brazen and greedy relatives as the Jia family. cactus!

Mother Jia put three sticks of incense in front of Lin Ruhai's spirit tablet, tears streaming down her face, and she kept saying: "Ruhai, you are my son-in-law who loves and values ​​me the most. Unexpectedly, today I give a white-haired man to a black-haired one! A few years ago , I have already sent away my beloved Min'er, and today I want to watch you leave. I have to experience life and death again, how can it not make people feel unbearable grief!"

"Oh, you all go away before me, leaving me, an old, useless old bastard, sad in the world. Why doesn't God let me go instead of you!"

"You both passed away, and you cruelly left your young children alone in the world. In such a big family, they are a pair of orphans alone, with no one to protect them. How can they live?"

Mother Jia cried a lot in front of everyone, and then said to Lin Daiyu with sobs: "Good boy, at your age, how can grandma rest assured that you will stay here alone? Not to mention that your father has gone, and there is no one to frighten you at home. Some servants with evil intentions will inevitably take the opportunity to deceive the young master and make you suffer. Even this place is also a sad place, and it will inevitably make you think of Ru Hailai and feel pain in your heart. If you fall ill because of this, then your father, the spirit in heaven, cannot Peace of mind!"

These words sounded like compassion, and some people who didn't know the inside story thought it made sense. These days, my uncle's family was very close relatives, and it was normal for my grandmother to care about her orphaned granddaughter.

"How about, after you and Chenxi send your father off, you can live in Rongguo Mansion. Grandma's house has recently built a large garden, with excellent scenery and many exquisite courtyards. You and Chenxi can choose the one you like. , and many sisters and brothers will accompany you." Mother Jia advised earnestly.

Oh, thank you, I lived in the Grand View Garden with mixed men and women, so I and Chen Xi are doomed to have a bad reputation. I don’t know what kind of marriage will be arranged by your loving 'grandmother'! Lin Daiyu complained in her heart, and said respectfully She declined and said, "Grandmother's intentions are good, but before his death, my father asked us to support each other and build up the Lin family. Except for Chenxi who has to go to school, everyone stays at home quietly and keeps filial piety behind closed doors, studying and managing the house. Self-cultivation, how can we go against our father's last words?"

"Besides, if we went to grandma's house with filial piety, we would offend the elders! Even if the elders don't care about it, our siblings are really uneasy; but if we don't mourn for our father, that would be too unfilial!"

This remark was clear and reasonable, and Mother Jia couldn't refute it, and felt a little anxious.Lin Daiyu insisted not to enter the Rongguo Mansion, so many methods were difficult to use, and she couldn't take the initiative after all.Unexpectedly, in front of everyone, this girl is also so eloquent, without giving in at all.Then how can she agree to let Jia's family help take care of the Lin family's business? Mother Jia frowned in distress.

At this time, the housekeeper hurried over and told Lin Daiyu excitedly: "Miss, the palace sent someone to mourn the master, and please invite the lady and Brother Chenxi to receive the order!"

"Steward Lin, set up the incense table immediately, burn the incense, and clean the place! Chen Xi, follow me to receive the order!" Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up, and she immediately arranged neatly.

Jia's mother was startled, it seemed that Lin Ruhai was quite respectful in front of the emperor, and she might be rewarded with a few honors after death.It seems that in a short period of time, it is impossible to play the Lin family's ideas again, so as not to displease the emperor.

It was inconvenient for Mother Jia to follow, so Wang Xifeng sent people to hang out outside the flower hall to listen and send her news from time to time.

"That's a respectable eunuch in the palace. Compared with Dai Quan, he is only a little behind." Jia Mu was surprised when she heard that it was Qiu Fu'an from Daming Palace who came to deliver the decree.This person has never had any friendship with the Jia family, but his status in the palace is not low. He is an old man who has been serving the current emperor since he was the prince, and he is very trusted by the emperor.Then, it can be seen that the emperor still has a heart of love for Lin Ruhai and the Lin family siblings.this!

"The emperor bestowed the posthumous title of 'Wen Zhao' on Lin Ruhai?" Jia's mother thought to herself: Wen Zhao, this is an excellent posthumous title!If you understand the truth, you call it Zhao; if you are bright and magnanimous, you call it Zhao; the emperor thinks highly of Lin Ruhai!

"Lin Ruhai is loyal to the country, and his son Lin Chenxi is engraved in the Imperial College to study and become a student of the Imperial College!" Jia's mother felt a little uncomfortable. Graduated from the Imperial College is equivalent to the fame of a scholar, which is very rare!Back then, with the prominence of the Rongguo Mansion, there was only one seat for Di Zhi, but she forced Jia Amnesty to give it to Jia Zhu.Anyway, Jia Lian is not material for studying, and he has inherited the title.Jia Zhu's reputation as a scholar back then was due to this.That adoptive boy is really lucky, he has reached the sky in one step!

The last piece of news made Jia's mother almost jump up.Her breath was stuck in her chest, and she couldn't breathe.His face turned blue and then black, his hands and feet trembled with anger, and his heart was cold.

Okay, what a Lin Ruhai!He is really old, treacherous and cunning. When he was about to die, he guarded against Jia's family and put himself on the line!
