Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

"Six years?" Mrs. Xing asked in amazement: "How old is the eldest girl at that time, don't you need to marry? Or, just go out with a small dowry?" ——It is said that 5000 taels of silver per year, It's really quite a lot, but the Lin family has its own house, so all kinds of expenses are unavoidable. There are many servants in the house to support; and Lin Daiyu's status is different now, so it doesn't matter when she is filial. If you want to study and hire famous teachers, filial piety is also a big expense.Naturally, the Lin family will have some surplus every year, but even if it is regarded as Lin Daiyu's dowry, it is too thin as the only daughter of the Lin family and the head of the county.

"Auntie, don't worry about this section." Lin Daiyu replied: "Because I have already written a booklet to the emperor, saying that Chenxi is young, and the elder sister is the mother. The coronation ceremony. At that time, it will be six years later."

"What?" Everyone was stunned, and they never thought that Lin Daiyu would do this.

"Yu'er, isn't this a waste of your youth?" Jia Mu couldn't help shaking her head and said, "Where is there a girl at that age who doesn't marry? Wait until then, what kind of good family can you marry?"

"Then we can only be reborn, just like the You family and the Xing family. What about the county head, every time there is a sacrifice, don't you have to kowtow in front of the original concubine's spirit card?" Mrs. Wang thought gloatingly .

"Old lady, the emperor has approved it, and praised me greatly, thinking it was an act of filial piety. Eunuch Qiu told me that in a few days, the palace will issue a decree and reward in the name of the empress." Lin Daiyu lauded Arguing with Jia's mother, he directly stated the result.

This is what she has painstakingly pursued, and it is simply achieved in one fell swoop!

First, she earned many years of down time.In the past six years, the Jia family may no longer be able to suck blood from the Lin family in terms of money.But as the situation of Jia's family went from bad to worse, they might not think about her marriage as a way out for Jia's family.The emperor took care of the Lin family, and Lin Daiyu's title of county head was also rewarded by the emperor himself, which could bring some protection. The emperor couldn't slap her, right?

She doesn't want to get married at all. There are very few happy marriages in this era, it depends on how much virtue she has accumulated in her previous life.Not to mention ordinary people, even wealthy families, it is rare to be able to live a happy life. Just look at the few women in front of you, they are just prisoners in the cage of wealth and honor for a lifetime.

But they have been living in such a cage since they were born, as natural as breathing.But I have seen the light, but I can't bear the darkness!

Thinking of being a good husband and raising children in the future, be virtuous and virtuous, tolerate your husband with three wives and four concubines, and find a mistress justifiably, but also be tolerant and not jealous; respect your parents-in-law, please take care of them every day, and you have to stand behind your mother-in-law when she eats. ;Madam Wang is 50 to [-] years old, I am afraid that she will not be able to eat a meal in peace by herself; if she is unlucky to meet that wicked mother-in-law again, she will have to admit that she is suffering, and she will win others when she dies It's just a sigh; if you want to resist and fight back, that would be unfilial, your reputation will be ruined, and the government will punish you.Of course, after your daughter-in-law for many years becomes a mother-in-law, you have the right to follow suit, treat your daughter-in-law in the same way, and let her suffer what you have suffered, provided that you live to survive The day I became a wife.

Lin Daiyu sighed why she didn't dress like a princess in the Tang Dynasty. Those days were much more chic. If she wanted to accept male favors, she would accept male favors, and if she wanted to become a monk, she would become a monk and practice Taoism.There is no need to be a princess. The Tang Dynasty was generally enlightened. Many daughters of high-ranking officials did not want to marry, but wanted to become monks and practice Taoism. Their parents did not object.It's a pity that the era of Dream of Red Mansions is already at the end of the feudal society. Even if Bao Dailian, the swan song of eternal love in the book, really got together as he wished, I'm afraid that "the princess and the prince will live a happy life from now on", and then suddenly and stop.

If you take care of your younger brother and delay your own marriage, it is a noble act of filial piety.In the future, I can use this as a reason not to talk about marriage anymore.The eldest daughter of the Lin family, the head of the county proclaimed by the emperor, can she marry her indiscriminately?After waiting for a few more years, no one will pay attention, and I can worship a famous and high Taoist teacher as a teacher, become a monk and practice Taoism, and get away.In the future, when I have money and status, I will travel around the world, see the scenery and people I have never seen before, eat delicious food everywhere, write down my experiences in detail, and be the female version of Xu Xiake in this time and space. ', leaving travel notes that can be passed on to future generations, is it better than being trapped in the square fields and spending a lifetime in the battles in the inner house?

As for Lin Chenxi, Lin Daiyu believes that with the character of this younger brother, he will be grateful, respectful and filial to the elder sister who sacrificed her youth to raise her.Even if people's hearts are changeable, Lin Daiyu is not worried. According to the ethics and morals of this era, he must treat himself kindly, otherwise public opinion will kill him.If he wants to become an official through the imperial examination, he has to be impeccable in this point, whether it is sincere or false, and that's enough. Lin Daiyu's principle is "everything is judged regardless of her heart", she is very calm and realistic. people.

There is one more thing, Lin Daiyu will not tell Jia's family.How could Lin Ruhai not plan for her own daughter and arrange Lin Daiyu's life perfectly.He had already prepared a very rich dowry for Lin Daiyu, which was not included in the Lin family's family property, but was given to his daughter separately.This dowry included the dowry and private houses of several generations of the mistresses of the Lin family.The Lin family has been passed down for several generations, and the property has never been dispersed. The dowry and private house of the mistress of the previous generation are left to the daughter-in-law of the next generation.If this is passed down from generation to generation, the amount will be extremely considerable, almost equivalent to [-]% of the Lin family's wealth.

Moreover, during the six years that the Lin family business was entrusted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the output of the farm and shop was a lot of money every year.How to invest this money will be discussed by Lin Daiyu and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the proceeds will also belong to Lin Daiyu, and will be given to her six years later.If it loses money, uh, it is considered to belong to the Lin family, and it is guaranteed to make a profit without losing money.

Lin Daiyu has studied it carefully, and the Prince Zhonghui, who is suspected of being a time traveler, has started to rectify in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, planning to open workshops, such as textile workshops, (cement) workshops for making paving materials, etc., and also planning to expand the bank.The capital needed is huge, and Prince Zhonghui proposed to raise funds in the form of holding shares, with the clan going ahead first.But everyone is skeptical about this novelty. In their opinion, it is better to buy farm and shop insurance. The fundraising is not very enthusiastic, but they just bought some for Prince Zhonghui's face.

But Lin Daiyu knows the trend of economic development, and also knows how much profit these emerging industries will bring.Therefore, she decided to screen and buy these original stocks starting this year!Even if you take out part of your dowry, you have to take a gamble!

Such a future is not far behind.When Lin Daiyu received the emperor's imperial decree today, Lin Daiyu's uneasy heart fell safely into her stomach.She finally got rid of the tragic fate of the fairy land outside the world.

Mother Jia swallowed her words full of words.What else can I say, you have an opinion on the emperor's will, are you smarter than the emperor?She had no choice but to keep silent, not daring to say anything more.

The Jia family looked at each other in blank dismay, what happened today was unexpected, as if a punch had been punched in the cotton, and nothing happened!No matter how good the original plan was, no matter how oppressive the status of the old lady can be, it is completely useless.That damned Lin Ruhai has planned everything. He is really cunning and cunning. He deserves to be a person who can stand tall in the officialdom!

They didn't think about Lin Daiyu, no one would think that the little girl would have such deep thoughts.What's more, from their point of view, raising Lin Chenxi to adulthood would be very detrimental to her, and it would be a waste of her life. Lin Daiyu would never harm herself no matter what!

Asuka and fish are doomed not to understand each other's world!

Lin Daiyu didn't want to waste any more time with the Jia family. She looked at their faces and felt impatient.

"Grandmother, two aunts," Lin Daiyu stood up and said in a deep voice, "The abbot of Dabei Temple has calculated the auspicious time before my father will send the coffin to the Buddha. Go, I'm going to get up immediately, I can't be with you anymore." - So, why don't you leave quickly?

The meaning of seeing off guests was very clear, but even Jia Mu couldn't find fault with Lin Daiyu's rudeness.Lin Ruhai's funeral arrangement is the most important thing. Moreover, Lin Daiyu's status is different now, she is no longer an ordinary official lady, let alone the poor girl in the book who lives under the fence and swallows her breath.

Also, when they entered the capital from the Lin family, they didn't get any cheap from Lin Daiyu, and they were a little embarrassed by her attitude of not caring about affection.Today they dare to rely on their status and seniority to get angry, and I believe Lin Daiyu dares to completely tear her face in front of the guests and make a scene.This is related to her father's funeral, if it is said, no one will criticize her, they will only praise her for her filial piety, lament the pity of the orphan, and the empresses in the palace will be implicated.

Mother Jia had no choice but to get up and say goodbye, and sighed reluctantly: "Yu'er, you have been in the past three years."

"Grandmother," Lin Daiyu said without waiting for her to speak, "for the past three years, Chenxi and I will abide by my father's last wish and observe filial piety at home quietly. My father specifically mentioned that Chenxi should not delay her studies because of filial piety, and she can get a career in the imperial examination. Only by revitalizing the Lin family can he rest in peace under the nine springs. Therefore, his schooling and studying at home are combined. In addition, we should not go around or socialize with relatives. , is also a taboo thing! Therefore, for the past three years, Chen Xi and I will not be able to serve you. You must take care of your health, old man!"

After saying that, he ordered people to invite Lin Chenxi in front of the guests. The two knelt down and solemnly kowtowed three times to Mother Jia.This is equivalent to saying that we don't need to meet each other in the past few years, and I will greet you in advance.

Soon, the emperor's decree, Lin Daiyu's gesture of raising her younger brother, and the behavior of the Lin family siblings bowing down to Jia's mother just now, all the guests knew.Everyone applauds it.

Jia's mother knew that she couldn't go against the trend, and knew that the Lin family's siblings were going to tear apart the relationship with the Jia family, so she had to put on a kind face with a smile on her face, saying that she didn't need to greet herself, and you should hurry up and send your father to mourn temple matters

The members of the Jia family gathered around Mother Jia and came to the mourning hall. They watched the Lin family siblings solemnly thank the guests one by one with complicated emotions, and then escorted Lin Ruhai's coffin out of the house.

Jia Mu sighed endlessly, but returned in vain, depressed.She also felt that before going out, Lin Daiyu gave her a faint look, that look seemed to see through her mind, which made her very uncomfortable.
