The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 27 Jia Min died of illness

Daiyu said with a slight smile, "This is in the south of the Yangtze River, at the Lin family. What is Uncle Lin worried about?"

Lin Cheng thought to himself, yes.Not to mention other places, few people in the south of the Yangtze River dare to act wildly in the Lin family.

In the flower hall of the Lin House, Jia Lian sat with a cup of tea and looked at the whole flower hall while drinking tea.Probably because of Jia Min's new funeral, there were no gorgeous decorations in the flower hall.All the furnishings are plain, such as white porcelain, blue and white porcelain and various porcelains.Although it seems inconspicuous, it is not as fond of enamel as the dignitaries in the capital and the Jia family.However, with Jia Lian's eyesight, it is not difficult to see that these are top-grade products fired by official kilns, and even the teacup in his hand cannot be bought with money.Not to mention the seemingly random calligraphy and paintings on the wall.It is clearly a famous painting that is hard to buy by a famous artist in the Song Dynasty.There are also the servants standing outside the door and the maids standing in the flower hall with their arms tied. Although they are not as dignified and lively as the big girls of Jia's family, they are all polite and thoughtful, and their gestures are the etiquette of a scholarly family.Jia Lian sighed to Mao Feng while drinking the top quality tea. The old lady's words were indeed good. Although the Lin family seemed inconspicuous, even the Jia family might not be as rich as the Jia family.

Jia Lian was in a trance, thinking about how to get some benefits from the Lin family, when he heard a girl behind him say, "Young lady is here."

Two nuns came out from inside, and when Jia Lian stood up, he saw two maidservants in green clothes walking out with a girl in white clothes behind her.I saw that although the young girl was young, her appearance was delicate and beautiful, and her brows were full of the nobility of a scholarly family.His face was slightly sick but not weak.It's just because there are not many smiles showing a bit of coldness.Jia Lian frowned and said, "Sister Lin, isn't uncle here?" Daiyu said, "My second cousin, Lian, forgive me. Daddy has been bedridden and unable to come out to entertain guests." Jia Lian quickly said, "Sister Lin, you're being polite. We are all juniors, how dare we ask my uncle to receive me. Since my uncle is sick in bed, my nephew should go to see him in person. The old lady ordered me to hurry to Jiangnan after receiving the news, but I didn’t expect my aunt to be buried..." In words, he seemed quite dissatisfied with the Lin family for burying Jia Min without waiting for the arrival of the Jia family.

Daiyu said lightly, "Daddy just finished drinking the medicine and fell asleep. Why don't you see Lian's second cousin in two days?" If the Jia family really cared about their mother, why would they only send one Jia Lian over.What's more, when Jia Lian came, he didn't mention the matter of worshiping his mother first.

Jia Lian hesitated for a moment, thinking that he was not in a hurry, so he nodded and said, "In this way, there will be Sister Lau Lin."

Daiyu nodded and said, "Then please Uncle Lin take Lian's second cousin to the guest house to have a rest first. I'll welcome my cousin tomorrow." Seeing Jia Lian leaving with Butler Lin, Daiyu sneered lightly and waved her sleeves. I went back to the inner courtyard.

Just as Daiyu returned to the backyard, Lin Ruhai sent someone to invite Daiyu to come over.Daiyu knew that her father must have known about Jia Lian's arrival, so she hurried to Lin Ruhai's room.

"Daddy, are you feeling better?" Daiyu walked into the room, and Lin Ruhai was sitting by the window looking out at the courtyard in a daze.The old and haggard appearance couldn't tell the appearance of the once famous romantic in the capital.Lin Ruhai came back to his senses and looked at Daiyu with a light smile and said, "Father is much better, Yu'er, you have worked hard these days." Daiyu shook her head again and again and said: "Yu'er is not hard, as long as Dad's health recovers, no matter what Yu'er does I'm happy with everything." Lin Ruhai's smile was a bit bitter, and he turned his face and asked, "What did Er Lian say?" Daiyu shook her head and said, "Second Cousin Lian said he wanted to see Daddy. Yu'er asked him first Take a rest, and come to visit Daddy again in a few days."

Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "That's fine, Daddy has been in a bad mood these days, so he shouldn't see guests. Does Yu'er know what Lian Er is doing this time?" He pointed to a chair not far away and asked Daiyu to sit down and talk.Daiyu went to one side and sat down, saying: "Probably not just to mourn mother." Lin Ruhai nodded and praised: "Yu'er really hasn't learned in vain all these years." How to understand human nature.But when my mother was still there, she had told her many possible plans of the Jia family.In fact, these plans have never been broken by the Jia family in recent years.In the past few years, every year, there were always several letters saying that Jia Min was in poor health and wanted to take Daiyu to Beijing to be educated, but Lin Ruhai and Jia Min refused every time because Daiyu was in poor health and could not travel long distances.Lin Ruhai looked at her daughter and asked, "It's good that Yu'er knows what's in her mind. Do you have any ideas?"

Daiyu said: "Of course Yu'er is with Daddy." Even if the Jia family has a blood relationship with her, how can they kiss their own parents?Her mother was gone, and Daiyu was unwilling to leave her father's side no matter what.Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Silly boy, Yu'er is about to grow up, and there will be a day when she will leave her parents. In a few years, Yu'er will also go to Beijing to wait for election."

"Daddy..."

Lin Ruhai shook his head to stop her and said: "Don't say anything stupid about not leaving Daddy, how can Daddy stay with you for the rest of your life? It's just that although the Jia family has relatives with us, Daddy doesn't agree with you going to their house. Even if you want to go to Beijing in the future Choose, we naturally have a mansion for you to live in in the capital, even if there is no one in our house, Daddy will find another place for Yuer. It is better not to go to Jia's house." Daiyu nodded, listening to her father attentively teaching.Lin Ruhai looked at her and said, "It's not that our Lin family looks down on Yue's family. It's just that Jia's place is not a place for ordinary people to live in. Besides, Gege from Shangsanqi went to Beijing to be elected to live in Baoyi's house. Another thing. Also, the eldest daughter of the Jia family, Yuanchun, was granted a high status by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's grace two years ago. Although the status is not high, the Jia family attaches great importance to His Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Yuan. Your status In the eyes of those who are interested, it may not be dazzling. There is also the old lady's thoughts, and your father and your mother have not kept it from you in the past few years. Yu'er, you must know that my father will never agree."

It wasn't that the Lin family looked down on Jia Baoyu's identity, if Jia Baoyu was motivated and responsible, it would not be difficult for the emperor to raise the flag with the grace of the emperor as long as he was promising in the future.But according to the news received over the years, the Jia family raised that Jia Baoyu like a phoenix egg.He just blindly hang out with women in the boudoir, and despises economic and official careers, but he doesn't know where he would have come to live a life of prosperity and wealth without these.Although Jia Baoyu is still young now, Lin Ruhai doesn't think that Jia Baoyu can become the lover of his precious daughter when he sees his age at the age of three.Not to mention the Jia family's second wife who has never dealt with Jia Min, and those shady things.How can Yu'er go to such a place?
