Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

"Farewell?" Mother Jia lost her voice, "Where are you going, Yu'er?" Everyone looked at Lin Daiyu in surprise.

"Old lady, the emperor's grace, except that I don't have an official title, the rest are rewarded according to the Xiangjun. Every year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs gives the Xiangjun a proportion of support, and also bestows two Zhuangzi and one The house." Lin Daiyu said softly: "The house was empty before, although it is not as luxurious and magnificent as the Grand View Garden, it is elegant and comfortable, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has also assigned servants according to the law. I live alone, it is more than enough! "

"I have packed my luggage in order these few days, and the carriages and horses are ready. Now I bid farewell to the old lady. Today I will move to that house and keep my filial piety behind closed doors. Xueyan and Wang Momo both came from Yangzhou followed me, and of course he had to follow me. Mother Xu and Mother Ma were the foster mothers in the palace, and they also followed to teach. The others in Liaofengxuan, including Zijuan, were Jia family members, I will keep them."

Lin Daiyu sighed in her heart, originally she wanted to take Zijuan away.But when she left Jia's house this time, the relationship was destined to fade, not to mention break up.Zijuan was born in a family and couldn't bear to leave her family, and her family also didn't want to follow her cousin who had an unknown future.Therefore, even though Zijuan was very dedicated to her on weekdays, Lin Daiyu reluctantly made a decision.

This is also the warning of the two nuns in the palace, to prevent problems before they happen, and not to leave a personal maid who may have two hearts.Otherwise, I'm afraid she can't help coercing her to do something against the Lord. They have seen many such examples with their own eyes.Lin Daiyu pondered over and over again, and finally decided to keep Zijuan, and only gave her an extra 100 taels of silver and two sets of fine jewelry, all of which were the master-servant affection of the past few years.

But that day, Lin Daiyu stayed up all night, thinking about the Lin family's entanglements, her father's deathbed mourning and earnest instructions, and the scenes at the banquet in the palace.

On the second day, she made up her mind, and took the initiative to find Madam Xu and Mama Ma, told the whole story of what happened yesterday, and asked them to give advice.The Jia family couldn't stay anymore, she couldn't bear such humiliation, but Lin Daiyu was still uneasy, if she insisted on leaving the Jia family, would she be accused of being unfilial?You know, the emperor ordered her to live in Jia's house, so would she be allowed to do so?

The two nuns had a good impression of and sympathized with this lady Lin who was usually gentle and kind.They were born in the House of Internal Affairs and were well-informed. They were a bystander and knew the attitude of the emperor towards the four princes and eight princes.At this moment, listening to Lin Daiyu's sincere request for advice, my heart moved.If Lin Daiyu was indifferent to Jia's family because of what happened in the Nan'an Palace, wouldn't it be more solid for the bad reputation of these nobles, the emperor would be happy to see it come true!At least, Lin Daiyu would not be blamed.

They asked someone to report the matter to Prince Zhongshun, and after getting a favorable reply, the two nuns felt relieved and told Lin Daiyu the meaning of their superiors.

Lin Daiyu's heart was gloomy, and she became a tool for the emperor to fight against the old nobles.But she also knows that this is a good opportunity to change her destiny and not be manipulated by others, she must seize it tightly!Between the emperor and the Jia family, it is impossible for her to satisfy both parties, her choice can only be the emperor!After going through the hard work of life and seeing the warmth and coldness of human relationships, she is no longer the ignorant and dust-free fairy plant in the past!

"Nonsense, why did you move out by yourself?" Mother Jia was caught off guard, and said angrily, "It's just for a moment of unhappiness, so you're so angry? I love you so much!"

"Miss, it's not filial to abandon your relatives!" Mrs. Wang immediately thought of the 5 taels of silver.Lin Daiyu is going to leave Rongguo Mansion, should the money be returned to her, it is the living expenses decreed by the emperor, there is no reason to withhold it.But that 5 taels was paid into the construction of the Grand View Garden. Where did the Jia family get it now?

"Second aunt, the emperor rewarded me with a house. It is only natural for me to live in a clean and filial piety. Madam Xu and Mama have also consulted the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has no objection." Lin Daiyu said calmly.

When Jia Mu heard this, she was secretly startled and her face changed.Isn't the attitude of the Ministry of Internal Affairs the attitude of the emperor?

She felt a little flustered, and sighed: "Yu'er, you are a girl, you live alone, no one to protect you, how can your grandmother be at ease? Besides, who can take care of your life?"

"Don't worry, the old lady, the two nuns said, the house is close to the government office, so it is the safest. Moreover, the house is also equipped with guards, and their entire family is in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Have bad thoughts." Lin Daiyu retorted respectfully.

"As for my life," Lin Daiyu lowered her eyes: "I am now leading the division of the township monarch, and I still have the prospects of two Zhuangzi. I have a total of 30 masters and servants, and my expenses are enough!"——And, living You have to be at your own pace, be your own master, don't need to listen to the teachings of others, and don't need to be targeted by relatives near and far. This kind of life is really suitable for you.In the future, in my own house, I will tune the plain qin and read the golden scriptures, without any noise in my ears, and without worrying about gains and losses!Thinking of this, she felt a sense of relief from the shackles on her body.

"How can this be done? If you do this, others will think that your grandmother and uncle's family can't tolerate you?" Jia Mu kept shaking her head, refusing to accept.If this spreads out, the Jia family's reputation will be very ugly!Mrs. Wang said that just now, and Mother Jia also understood her thoughts, so it was also a problem.Also, since Lin Daiyu left Jia's house, what happened in the Nan'an palace cannot be cleared up, and there is no reason to have a relationship with the Lin family!

"Old lady, right and wrong, others have their own minds!" Lin Daiyu decided to leave, but when she saw that Jia's mother insisted on not allowing her, she could only ruthlessly say, "Even if the old lady insists on keeping me, it won't help. Doesn’t the old lady understand that you don’t want to see me? I’m leaving, which is good for everyone. Old lady, I will come to greet you during the holidays.”

The implication is that on weekdays, she has no contact with the Jia family?Mother Jia became even more depressed when she heard the words, and heard Lin Daiyu whispering: "The 5 taels of silver is the living expenses arranged by the emperor. Now I am going out, this money"

Jia Mu's lips moved, and the phrase "I'll ask Sister Feng to sort out the money for you" turned around in her throat a few times, but she still couldn't say it.

Seeing Jiamu's silence, Lin Daiyu smiled sadly.Grandmother did feel sorry for herself, but if there was a conflict with the Jia family's interests, she would always choose the Jia family.After she came back from Yangzhou, did things like this happen less?She should have seen it long ago.Now, it's time to make a break, it's time to withdraw!

"Old lady, I don't want this money anymore, it's right as my filial piety to you." Lin Daiyu said coldly: "The Lin family has never valued luxury and face, and I am an orphan girl, and I don't care about it. I just rely on the farm and village given to me by the emperor." I can live in the same way. Now that I think about it, my father was very foresight and arranged for me very well!"

Jia Mu's face was hot, and she was extremely ashamed and annoyed by her granddaughter.She turned cold: "Yu'er, what if I don't allow you to go?"

"Then I can only write a letter to the emperor and ask the emperor to make the decision for me. At that time, I was afraid that someone would call Yu'er unfilial, but it was inevitable that some people would discuss that my grandmother and uncle were unkind, and that the Jia family was unjust. Uncle is still an official. , the censor will also issue a memorial to impeach!" Lin Daiyu said calmly: "The Lin family and the Jia family are not good, and both lose. It's just that Yu'er is alone, so she has no worries. At most, it's just that she has a bad reputation and can't get married. That's all. Ma'am, but the Jia family is different!"

"Yu'er, are you threatening me?" Mother Jia became sad, with tears streaming down her eyes.Seeing this, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng also accused Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu's eyes were full of tears, but thinking of the nuns' advice and thinking about the future, she gritted her teeth, knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Old lady, I don't care about Miss Smith, Mrs. Smith can rest assured! I want to go Now, take care of yourself!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and hurried out of the house, resolutely leaving.Listening to Jiamu's mournful cries and everyone's earnest persuasion from the house, my heart felt like being tormented in a frying pan.But even so, Lin Daiyu's footsteps still did not stop.

When Jia Baoyu rushed over upon hearing the news, Liao Fengxuan had already tidied up, and the servant girls surrounded Lin Daiyu and were about to go out.

"Sister Lin, why are you leaving?" Jia Baoyu hastily stopped him, "Could it be because of something as trivial as Sister Xiangyun's wrong words?"

"Baoyu, is that a small matter?" Lin Daiyu looked deeply at Jia Baoyu, the person she once liked: "Do you know how it will affect the reputation of me and the Lin family?"

"Then can't I let her come to make an apology? Why do you leave the old lady and me?" Jia Baoyu said sadly.

He still lived so innocently, didn't understand the world, Lin Daiyu sighed in her heart, and said softly: "Baoyu, do you think I live well here?"

"Why is it not good? The sisters recite poems and paint pictures every day, pick flowers and willows, do some rouge needlework, and be carefree. This is the life that girls should live!" Jia Baoyu really felt that the sisters lived like this. the happiest.

Lin Daiyu didn't know how to explain to him the ugly behavior of greed and snobbery after the years had calmed down. Besides, does Baoyu know the situation Jia's family is facing now?Before his father passed away, he also told her about the grievances and entanglements between the emperor and the four kings and eight princes, which shocked her who had always ignored common affairs.

There are emperors who don't want to be seen outside, but inside there are no outstanding children who can support such a large family. No matter how the Jia family looks at it, it is like a sunset, and the afterglow is bleak.

"Baoyu," Lin Daiyu asked, "You hope that they can live a carefree life like this all the time, but can you support them? Just like Lin Mingan did for his sister?"

Jia Baoyu often heard his father envy Lin Qing for having a son like Lin Ming'an in front of him, and wished to change himself with him, and he felt a little resentful.It's just a beetle, so mean to sister Lin, it can be seen that he is a ruthless and unjust person, and it is also worthy of praise?Now sister Lin takes him as a role model, which makes him disappointed and angry.

Seeing that Jia Baoyu was silent, Lin Daiyu seemed to say, "Sister Lin, how did you become such an ordinary person?"She felt sore. Since when did a crack begin to appear between the two intimate hearts?In the years to come, will they still be confidants with the same heart, and will their friendship gradually fade away?

Lin Daiyu didn't dare to think about it, nor did she want to think about it, she just wiped away her tears and said softly: Take care! , leave quietly.Did not waver, let alone stay.

If life is only as it was first seen, why is the autumn wind sadly drawing a fan.Waiting for leisure to change the old man's heart, but the old man's heart is easy to change.Life is so blissful!
