The World of Peace in the Red Mansion

The praise of the Jiangnan literary world does not mean that there are no other people who object, and the first to bear the brunt is the Gusu Lin family.

A lot of people came to the Lin residence that day, and they were all members of the Lin family.The Gusu Lin family is also a farming and studying family, with a strong literary style in the clan, and even more clan studies for the children of the clan to learn, but it has declined a bit in the past few years, but there are only two juren, so it is not bad to juren in other places. But in Jiangnan, the two Juren are a little bit helpless.The most prominent branch of the Lin family is Lin Hai's branch, which was born to the Marquis of Jing'an. For some reason, the heirs are not prosperous. After a few generations, it has been passed down to Lin Hai's generation, which is almost extinct.

The Lin family has never thought of adopting in the past few years, but the relationship between Lin Hai and the Lin family is far away. Although it is possible to adopt, but if Lin Hai does not want to, the clan elders dare not force them. Five clothes, there is no such reason.

Therefore, this matter was delayed like this, but as soon as the matter of Zangshu Pavilion came out, the Lin family immediately exploded.Since Lin Hai has a heart, what does it mean that this book is not given to the clan but to outsiders?And the fertile land that has been poured out is even more jealous by many people.

Because this clan sent people here, of course, this trip was not just because of those shallow-sighted people. The Lin family has been able to establish a clan in Gusu for a hundred years, and it is definitely not all such shallow-sighted people.It's just that the deep meaning of Lin Hai's move is not for the people in the clan to ponder.For this reason, the elders of the Lin family clan came here this time, the most respected generation.

Also because of the presence of this person, even though the people who followed were full of displeasure, they did not dare to be presumptuous.

Lin Hai went in and watched the battle but only smiled slightly, not surprised.As early as when he made the move, he had expected that the Lin family would come, but now it happened just right.

Lin Hai entered the room to salute the elder calmly, and then sat down on the main seat.Those who were clamoring at first did not dare to open their mouths at this time.Regardless of the other Lin clans, the only one who has been an official in recent years is Lin Hai. Although it is far away, without Lin Hai, the Lin clan's reputation in Gusu would not be so high.

Everyone showed hesitation, but Lin Hai was not in a hurry, and just ate his tea calmly.In the end, it was the old man who spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly with frowns on his face, and a voice sounded indifferently, "The reason is that your branch is a little far away from the clan, even if the elder brother is not far away from the family, he can't control the younger brother." How the family wants to deal with the family wealth, but this matter is a bit of a talk, taking advantage of the fact that we are all here today, Ruhai let us be sensible people, and the clan in the province has some opinions."

As soon as these words came out, all the Lin family members who were sitting nodded in agreement, as if asking Lin Hai to give an explanation.

Lin Hai put down the teacup in his hand and raised his eyebrows: "Seventh Uncle, Ru Hai can't understand what he said, and he can't write Lin characters in one stroke. I don't think there is anything wrong with the clan. I have taken care of you all these years. , but today the big guy looks like he's provoking a teacher to inquire about his crimes, so I really don't understand."

"It doesn't matter how clear it is. If you don't want the collection of books in the mansion, you can give it to the clan. There are so many children in the clan who are dedicated to learning. Now it is cheaper for outsiders." You said with a temper.

Lin Hai sneered and said, "Sixth cousin is wrong. This book has been accumulated by my family for several generations. How to deal with it is naturally my business. Besides, I believe that what I do is worthy of my heart. So that the sixth cousin knows that although we are both surnamed Lin, the private property of my branch is not the public property of the clan, and no one else can talk about it."

After saying those words, the man blushed with anger, and suddenly got up to argue but was held back by his companions.

"Sit down, what does it look like?" Seventh Uncle's words were very intimidating, and the man could only sit down honestly if he was dissatisfied.

Seventh Uncle's eyes lingered on Lin Hai's face for a while before he looked away. Lin Hai's complexion was not very good, and he didn't need to look carefully to know that he was sick.

"Brother Xun's words are wrong. After all, this collection of books is a good thing. If you do it, you will do it. But there is one thing, as a clan, you have to say, Ruhai, although you But the official is also a member of the Lin family. You don't have a successor at your age, and I am an elder, but I can't see your bloodline being broken."

Brother Xun is the man who spoke before. His name is Lin Xun. Although he doesn't have much fame, he can be regarded as one of the people in charge of the clan, and he belongs to the line of the clan leader.Hearing Uncle Qi's words, his eyes moved slightly, and everyone sitting there was a little moved. After all, although the Lin family's collection of books is good, it is not as good as Wanguan's wealth.

Lin Hai's team has been making great achievements for nearly a hundred years, how can the accumulated wealth not make people envious, but now Lin Hai has no children, only one daughter can't inherit the family business, and he must adopt a son.

Tu Qiong saw that he had reached this point after all. He had understood early on that the purpose of these people in the clan would not only be in this Zangshu Pavilion.

"Seventh uncle, can we talk in private." Lin Hai stood up and asked the elder.

Seeing Lin Hai's upright and serious face, Uncle Seven hesitated and nodded, and then signaled the other clansmen to go out first.

Although everyone was dissatisfied, they did not dare to disobey the wishes of their elders and waited outside anxiously.

It was only half a cup of tea, and Uncle Qi came out tremblingly.Everyone rushed forward to help, but found that Qi Shugong's face was very ugly.

Lin Hai sent it out and said calmly: "The family will trouble Uncle Seven to pass on the message, so I won't send it far away."

Seventh Uncle looked up at Lin Hai for a long time before sighing: "Since you have made plans, you can't persuade me anymore. I just hope it will come true." After saying that, he led everyone away.

The rest of the Lin family were naturally very curious and asked several times, but Qi Shugong did not miss a single word about what the two of them talked about.

It's just that after returning to Gusu, he hastily summoned all the clan elders for a meeting, but they didn't talk about it later.

However, it is said that what the Gusu Lin family did can't make any waves after all, the Library Pavilion was erected after all, and Lin Hai, the first honorary pavilion owner, specially invited Chen Yu, the dean of the Tianlu Academy of Confucianism in the world, to come out of the mountain.

Chen Yu is a great Confucianist in the world, and he was born in a scholarly family.The Chen family has a very high prestige in the south of the Yangtze River, and his uncle was a former emperor's teacher. Although he retired from old age and returned to his hometown, no one in the family would dare to underestimate the Chen family.For Lin Hai's move, he also had a lot of voices of approval, saying that this move was of great merit, but he had no intention of making such a mistake for himself.It's just that Lin Hai personally asked him to come here, and it was hard to refuse.

Counting it, he and Lin Hai have been friends for many years. The Lin family and the Chen family in Gusu are both aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River. The two have known each other since childhood.

He knew that Lin Hai's move should have a more innocent purpose, but he thought it was just a move he planned to improve his reputation. If he kept a low profile, there should be no problem, so he never stopped it.

It's just that he underestimated Lin Hai's intentions. Now that this matter has intensified and Lin Hai's reputation in the south of the Yangtze River is on the verge of reaching the top, Chen Yu can't see anything wrong with it, so he is not worthy to be in charge of Tianlu Academy, as stable as Mount Tai.

Facing his friend's question, Lin Hai looked calm, "Brother, please don't worry about this matter, it will not be implicated on your brother's head."

Chen Yu was a little annoyed, "Of course I'm not worried. What I'm worried about is you. What is Ruhai going to do? You've been in court for so many years, can't you even see the simplest flattery? It won't be long before the Lin family ransacks the house. Doom is at hand."

After all, it was a kind heart, Lin Hai sighed and replied: "It won't get to that point."

"Nowadays it is obvious that someone is fueling the flames and only waiting for the right time to push you to death. How can you be sure that nothing will happen." Chen Yu really doesn't know what his friend is thinking. He has always been calm for so many years, why? until now?

Lin Haidao: "What my brother is worried about is that the prestige of the Lin family is too taboo, so the dead will not have any influence no matter how high the reputation among scholars is, and the Lin family has no heirs." A few simple words called Chen Yubian turned pale.

"You?" Dean Cheng's expression at the moment, who was usually relaxed, couldn't be described as ugly.

If a family or person were to be taboo, he should still be alive. If he died, no matter how high his prestige was, it would not be affected, especially if he had no heirs, daughters could not inherit the family business.

"So it's you who are behind this?"

"No, that's too obvious. Since someone can't help but jump out to help, I naturally wish for it." Lin Hai smiled slightly.

Chen Yu sighed and said, "Why are you doing this?"

"If I had a choice, I wouldn't be like this, but Brother Zi'an, my life will only last half a year at most. I only have one bone and blood to keep her safe forever." Lin Hai smiled wryly, if he could, he would rather exchange his wealth for companionship The opportunity for his daughter to grow up, but unfortunately God did not give him this opportunity.

Chen Yu never imagined that Lin Hai's body had reached this point, so what can he say now?

"If there's anything I can do, just open your mouth. As for Yu'er, if you don't worry, I might as well treat her as my own daughter in the future." Chen Yu and Lin Hai have known each other for many years, and now they naturally want to help their old friends.

Lin Hai turned his head away and said: "It's not suitable for you to wear. I still have arrangements for Yu'er, but I still need you to take care of me in the future." How could Yijia's mother's character allow her granddaughter to be raised by others? Instead of making troubles unpleasant, it would be better to save her daughter an extra way out in the future.

Chen Yu was not annoyed at being rejected, and he also understood that it was unreasonable for the daughter of the Lin family to be raised by an outsider like him, even if the Lin family was far away, there were still relatives.Since Lin Hai said so, he didn't say much.I just want to pay more attention to it in the future.

Whether it is those who care about the Lin family or the enemies of the Lin family, the reputation of the Lin family has skyrocketed in just half a year, and the stormy situation will affect the entire Jiangnan officialdom.

But just when the enemies of the Lin family felt that the time was right to strike, Lin Hai, who is now very prestigious in the south of the Yangtze River, fell ill and was critically ill.
