Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

Chapter 187 I'm Not a Fairyland 32

Soon, the news of Second Sister You's death came out, and the relationship between Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng became more respectful and ice-like, barely maintaining a face-to-face relationship.Although he was already resentful, Wang Ziteng was now the pillar of the four major families, with a high position and authority. If he stayed up for a day, Wang Xifeng's position would be secure. Jia Lian didn't dare to do anything at all.

Afterwards, the Jia family ransacked the Grand View Garden in an uproar. How could the servants of the Jia family keep secrets? Many nobles in the capital laughed secretly when they found out.Lin Daiyu also shook her head and sighed after hearing this, and analyzed the confusion and unwiseness of the Jia family's move to Lin Chenxi and Lin Zhu.

The girls of the Jia family lived in the Grand View Garden. They originally lived in the same garden as Baoyu. Strictly speaking, they may not be in compliance with the rules, but fortunately, everyone is from the Jia family, which makes sense.But in the middle of the night, Jia's family ransacked the Grand View Garden with great fanfare, and even searched the houses of Sanchun and others, which made people dumbfounded.Doesn't that clearly show that the girls of Jia's family are tricky?It's hard to guarantee that others won't think in a wrong way, and this reputation will be completely ruined!

Everyone in the Lin family felt that the Jia family had come up with such a foolish trick, which showed that they were really exhausted!Fortunately, Lin Daiyu had a bright eye and cut off contact with them as soon as possible, otherwise it would definitely bring disaster to the Lin family.

Concubine Xiande in the palace fell ill. I don't know if it was because of being manipulated by the family members who were holding her back, or because she was depressed and depressed living in the palace.In the book, before Jia Yuanchun's sudden death, he also fell ill, and Jia's family was called into the palace to visit.At that time, Jia's family was panicked, but after that, as Jia Yuanchun recovered from his illness, he felt relieved and lived a life of drunkenness and dreams again.

They felt that as long as there was a virtuous concubine, the Jia family would be able to preserve their lives and their prosperity.It's just that they didn't want to know what kind of life Concubine Xiande lived in the palace. Perhaps they were also avoiding it intentionally or unintentionally in their hearts. Tight, otherwise, how could Jia Yuanchun be promoted from female history to be a virtuous concubine in one fell swoop?

But in Lin Daiyu's eyes, Jia Yuanchun's life in the palace was not very satisfactory.There are so many concubines in the palace, when it comes to being favored, Jia Yuanchun may not be able to rank high; when it comes to status, she still doesn't understand what the rank of concubine Xiande is.Jia's family members were all shouting 'Imperial Concubine' and 'Emperor Imperial Concubine', but since Lin Daiyu was conferred the title of county head, and after three years of filial piety, she was also eligible to go to the palace to have an audience, so she gradually understood the inside story.The noble concubine has a high status, there are only two noble concubines in the palace now, Concubine Wu and Concubine Sun, both of whom have children, and the emperor regards them very highly.Jia Yuanchun is just an ordinary concubine, and Xiande is just a title given to her. She looks impressive, but she is an empty air with no weight.Well, it's the same situation as the Jia family today.

It seems that at this time, the remaining good days of the Jia family are numbered.Lin Daiyu became worried. The Jia family was now intimidated by Lin Ruhai's suicide note, so they had no choice but to separate from the Lin family, because they still regarded themselves as the Duke's mansion, and no matter how reluctant they were in their hearts, they wanted to save face outside.However, once the house is confiscated, the title is seized, and the crime is imprisoned, then the face will not be cared at all. What does a broken jar care about?

To intercede for the Jia family's men who broke the law, the Lin family does not have the ability.If all members of the Jia family were imprisoned and punished, and the female relatives were sold as slaves in the future, or even wandered into prostitution like Sister Qiao, then Lin Daiyu would feel sympathy and come out to help. She didn't expect anything in return from the Jia family, but just couldn't bear it. I saw those beautiful young girls falling into the mud with Jia's family.There is not much intersection with them in this life, but they each have their own beauty in the book, but the ending is a tragedy, which makes people feel sad.If she had the ability, deep down in Lin Daiyu's heart, she would not want to watch this scene happen before her eyes.

However, thinking of the virtues of the Jia family, Lin Daiyu hesitated again.The Jia family is not the kind and grateful Grandma Liu. The kindness of a drop of water is reciprocated by the spring. The Jia family gave her a small condescending donation. Save Qiaojie.

The most likely result is that after Lin Daiyu redeemed Jia's family, she would still have to work hard to arrange them properly, and she would always make progress and never be satisfied.

In the beginning, when they were rescued by the Lin family and escaped from birth, they might also be very grateful, crying to thank them, expressing their family affection and their regrets.But then, the Rongguo Mansion was taken back by the imperial court, how to arrange them?Lin Daiyu could buy them a few yards to live in, and then give them a Zhuangzi. Even if they rent it out, the income is enough for them to live.The future of a Zhuangzi must have hundreds of taels of silver a year. I don’t see Grandma Liu using the one or two hundred taels of silver donated by the Jia family to live comfortably, buy fields and land, and become a small landlord.

But can the Jia family be satisfied with this?Don't the masters want a few maids to serve them?Old ladies and wives are used to taking ginseng Yangrong pills and other tonics, shouldn't the diet at home be more refined?The tea they drink must be able to drink in their mouths, they can't "drink" like Grandma Liu; the clothes and jewelry on the heads of each female family member also have to buy a few sets, right?Jia Lan still needs to study for the imperial examination, so the cost of buying books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones is quite a lot. He also needs to hire a good teacher and find a good academy. The Lin family has such resources. This is related to Jia Lan's future. The Lin family can't just sit by and watch ?Jia Baoyu couldn't bear to be wronged, he had to ask the Lin family to worry more about his future; and the marriages of the girls and boys at home, they don't have the ability and face now, but the Lin family is different, in short, everything must be done. Please trouble the Lin family!

We are relatives of Didiqin!Although the son-in-law had misunderstood the Jia family during his lifetime, Miner was the most filial during his lifetime. How could he bear to watch his old mother fall into poverty in her later years and her family's family reduced to dust?Yu'er, can you make your mother feel at ease in the ground?

The Jia family had nothing left anyway, so they had no scruples.When necessary, Jia's mother can also sell miserably in public, such as crying and begging at the gate of the Lin Mansion, kneeling, seeking death, and various fancy performances.For the Jia family and Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu believed that she could do it.The Lin family is a respectable Ru Ci. Lin Chenxi wants to take the imperial examination to become an official. How can she not care about her reputation? It is really not easy for the Jia family who have completely lost face!

Thinking of the terrible trouble, Lin Daiyu shuddered and flinched immediately.She thought about it, they should leave this place as soon as possible, so as not to trouble the upper body.

Lin Daiyu consulted the teacher of Guozijian for his opinion, and she had a bottom line in her heart.She summoned Lin Chenxi and persuaded him to give up the test.

Lin Daiyu said that she had consulted many teachers in the Imperial College, including Kong Jijiu. They thought that Lin Chenxi was talented, studied hard and self-disciplined, and had a bright future, but after all, he was younger and his knowledge foundation was not very solid. Being able to win the Juren is an excellent performance, but there is still a big difference between Juren and Jinshi.It is recommended that Lin Chenxi not be too anxious, calm down, study hard, and wait for the next exam in three years, hoping to succeed in one fell swoop!

Lin Chenxi hesitated and felt a little unwilling, but then Lin Daiyu's reasons convinced him.Lin Daiyu said that the general examination is different from the rural examination, and if you fail the examination, it will be regarded as a training session, and you just have to work harder.If you fail in the general examination, that's all right. I'm afraid that the grades will not be the same. If you win a top three and Jinshi, what should you do? Should you cry or laugh?If you want to give up after passing the exam, that is blatantly despising the court's grace, who dares?

Lin Chenxi was moved by this sentence. She is similar to Mrs. Ru, and she is destined to be inferior to the second-class Jinshi for the rest of her life. In Lin Chenxi's view, that cannot continue the good story of father and son two Jinshi, and bring glory to the Lin family.So, he changed his mind and decided to study hard for a few years, but he felt that Lin Daiyu's youth would be delayed again, and he was a little uneasy.

Lin Daiyu also proposed that their family send Lin Ruhai's coffin to Gusu, and let him be buried in Lin's ancestral grave.Jiangnan has a prosperous literary style, a gathering of famous teachers, and many famous academies. In this respect, the capital city can't match it.They will not return to the capital for the time being. Lin Chenxi has studied hard in Jiangnan for a few years, and it will not be too late to return to the capital until the next exam is approaching.The Lin family is no longer comparable to what it used to be. Even if Lin Ruhai is gone, no one can bully the two of them.Among other things, Lin Daiyu's status as the head of the county may not be particularly prominent in the capital, but in the south of the Yangtze River, it is very honorable.

Lin Chenxi was mature in mind, and Lin Daiyu also gave him a solid analysis, telling him her judgment on the future outcome of the Jia family and the troubles the Lin family might face.She asserted that the emperor would not tolerate the Jia family for too long. If that day came, the Lin family was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, even if the Jia family wanted to get involved, it would not work.As long as they make some arrangements for Jia's family before they leave the capital, and tell their family members to help them out, not only will they be able to avoid the trouble, but they will also win the praise of the world for giving charcoal in a timely manner.

There is another thing that Lin Daiyu finds very annoying.Following Lin Chenxi's election, the future of the Lin family is bright, and Lin Ruhai's will gradually spread.Some officials and eunuchs in the capital began to move Lin Daiyu's mind.Lin Daiyu's dowry is so rich, and the workshop industry of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that she invested in these years has been rising, and the income is full, which shows that she has the skills to make money and has a good vision; The person who is the owner of the county does not take advantage of the slightest advantage, and she can be a very competent mistress in the future; she is the county head, and she is favored by the palace, and she is worth a lot.

With so many benefits, as for Lin Daiyu to raise Lin Chenxi to be an adult before she can get married, in the eyes of those people, this is not a big deal.Isn't it just a few years of delay, Lin Daiyu will not be very big by then, and she is so beautiful.You can get engaged first, and wait for Lin Chenxi to get crowned before doing the wedding.Anyway, the man will not be short of housemaids to serve him, and his physical needs can be completely solved, that is, taking concubines, he will have some scruples, and he can't be too ostentatious.In this day and age, as long as a man is not married to a regular wife, even if he has a room full of women around him, he is still unmarried!

As a result, many official media or acquaintances came to the door, thinking of talking about marriage for Lin Daiyu.Lin Daiyu has gained insight. There are so many dead wives in this capital. The men who want to renew their marriage need their wives' dowry to support the family. of.

So what can I get from such a marriage?Lin Daiyu thought angrily, could this be taking me for a fool!But the matchmakers feel that this is not a matter of course, isn't everyone like this?Lin Daiyu became more determined not to marry.

If you refuse too much, you will inevitably offend people.Although Lin Daiyu was not afraid, she could use this reason to convince Li Chenxi that they could temporarily avoid these entanglements by going back to the south of the Yangtze River to bury Lin Ruhai.After three or four years, these people could no longer remember it, and the matter passed away.If Lin Chenxi can pass the Jinshi again, then the Lin family will go up to a higher level, won't they have more choices?

Lin Chenxi thought about it, and finally agreed. The Lin family was busy packing their luggage, arranging people to manage the house and itinerary in the capital, and cleaning the old houses in the south of the Yangtze River.When everything was almost done, Lin Daiyu handed over the paperwork to the palace and applied for a special trip to bid farewell to the queen.
