Chapter 16 The Red Chamber (16)

&1t;script>Red Building 16

When returning to Gusu, another major event was to let the two concubines enter the Lin family's ancestral tomb.

It is of great significance for Lin Yuyang to fulfill their wishes. His childhood memories have faded a little bit. In recent years, he has been taking care of his elder sister, but he has not suffered any hardship. Now he has even recognized his ancestors and his life has been led by his elder sister to a completely different path.

He knelt behind his elder sister, tears flowing. He said that he could mourn his biological mother or that he could feel the past. In short, his emotions could not calm down.

Lin Yutong's expression was much calmer. She had never had contact with her two aunts. In the little girl's memory, there was only the fear of losing her support. At that time, the child did not understand what death was.

She kowtowed sincerely before pulling her brother up: "Okay! I'll cry. They always hope that we'll be fine. If you are happy, people from another world will feel at ease. Everyone will go there. You just think that they've separated for the time being."

Lin Yuyang sniffed and nodded.

Lin Ruhai looked at his children and felt a little more guilty towards these two concubines. The grave was well repaired, which was the only thing he could do for them.

Lin Yutong looked at Jia Min's grave and thought to herself: When I got to the bottom, how could the three women be pinched?

Lin Daiyu didn't come, saying that she was catching a cold. In fact, she felt embarrassed and hid.

The legitimate daughter had no reason to move the grave to her aunt, but she was embarrassed to face her elder sister and elder brother.

Lin Yutong could understand. She believed that the two concubines would not be happy to see the legitimate daughter appear.

After finishing the business, Lin Ruhai took his three children back to Yangzhou. First, the New Year is approaching, and second, there are still errands in the yamen.

When I returned to Yangzhou, it was already the twelfth lunar month.

Lin Yuyang is now basically studying at home, and Lin Ruhai personally gives advice. This makes Lin Yutong more satisfied. A famous teacher will definitely benefit students greatly.

Lin Yutong was busy with the New Year. The Lin family didn’t have many relatives, but Lin Ruhai’s colleagues still needed to communicate and be courteous. These should not be careless. She was so busy that she didn’t touch the ground.

I originally asked Lin Daiyu to help with it, but after two or three days, I found an excuse not to come. I heard that I went to the study to review the rare book. Lin Ruhai not only did not dislike this, but also enjoyed it.

Maybe in his heart, he hopes that his children have some knowledge and freedom.

Lin Yuyang's goal in studying was very clear, just for the imperial examination. This way, it was a bit utilitarian. Lin Ruhai was probably a little disappointed.

Lin Yutong felt that it might be that she had a deviation in her younger brother's education. She was having a hard time at that time, and she could not buy all the books for the imperial examinations after half a year's income. How could she dare to think of anything else?

She mentioned to her younger brother in vainly. Lin Yuyang was very open-minded and comforted: "When can you cultivate your sentiment after you have fame?"

Lin Yutong didn't care. Different living environments created different personalities and pursuits, which was also a helpless thing.

She couldn't understand Lin Daiyu's aloofness, and Lin Daiyu might not understand her worldly world.

However, this does not prevent the two from living together peacefully.

The new year came in this family atmosphere. This was Lin Ruhai's happiest year. When worshiping ancestors, he finally didn't have to be alone. Looking at the three children kneeling behind him, he felt worthy of the ancestors of the Lin family. The Lin family had only one son and not even a redundant girl. Although there was only one son now, at least two daughters.

His face looked rosy and healthy, and his smile was cheerful. He gradually gained the style of Tanhualang.

Such a middle-aged beautiful uncle suddenly threw out a big thunder after having the New Year’s Eve dinner, which caught Lin Yutong and Lin Yuyang off guard.

"Once the first month of the year, I will send you to Beijing for my father." Lin Ruhai said lightly.

Lin Yutong thought she was hallucinating.

"Father, what did you say?" Lin Yutong asked involuntarily.

Lin Ruhai looked at his eldest daughter and sighed: "For your safety, I have to send you to Beijing for your father."

Lin Yutong knew that this involved the situation between Chao Bureau and Jiangnan, and frowned and said, "Can't my father resign?"

"Isn't this a fool?" Lin Ruhai knew that his eldest daughter was smart and very smart in the world and human relations. He explained: "When pushing the car uphill, how can you let go of halfway? Unless you are exhausted, otherwise..."

"Father is afraid that we will become his father's weakness." Lin Yutong looked at Lin Ruhai.

"Severing the wealth path is like killing a parent. If you force the other party to get angry, they can't do anything." Lin Ruhai looked at his eldest daughter, "For the father, you know that you can do it, so you can only entrust Yang Ge'er and Daiyu to you."

"What about you, Father." Lin Yutong was a little panicked. With Lin Ruhai there, they were all covered. If there was no such person, they would be able to shelter from the wind and rain.

He was partial and gave Lin Daimei more care. But Lin Yutong had to admit that in this world, both himself and his younger brother needed this person to live.

Lin Yuyang looked at Lin Ruhai and clenched his fists, "Father, I'll stay with you."

Lin Daiyu's eyes were already red and she was crying softly. She was not stupid, so she naturally heard the crisis contained in it.

Lin Ruhai's eyes turned red. The children could care so much that their hearts were soft and they were filled with something in an instant. He smiled and comforted: "After being sick this time, the emperor knew how important it is to be a father in this position. He sent secret guards. Safety is safe." Although he was not free, safety is guaranteed, and everything else is not important.

Seeing that the matter was irreversible, Lin Yutong asked, "I'm afraid that my father wouldn't feel at ease when we live in our mansion in the capital."

Lin Ruhai looked at the capable eldest daughter and looked at her younger daughter who was crying and sobbing. She couldn't help but sigh. At this time, it was even more reassuring for the eldest daughter. He said, "The old lady of Rongguo Mansion has sent a letter again, wanting to pick you up to live there for a few days. My father thinks this is a good opportunity. No matter how much the mansion is...at least it is safe, there is no problem."

Lin Yutong nodded, which was true. Lin Ruhai did not trust the Jia family, but trust the emperor. When sent to the capital, he was sent to the emperor's nose. The Jia family did not dare to do extraordinary things to them under the emperor's nose. Besides, the men of the Jia family did not have the brain to get involved in major matters. They were carrying the title of four tyrants and eighth princes, and the important things would not be known to them.

Therefore, compared to other places, it is also the safest.

"Once the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I will pack up my things to go to the capital." Lin Yutong has never been a person who is sad about spring and autumn. She always makes choices and arrangements rationally. When she thinks of going to the capital, Lin Yutong couldn't help but ask: "What should I do with Brother Yang'er's studies?" She is not trustworthy of the Jia family's family.

Lin Ruhai really knew this daughter. After just a while, she thought of so many arrangements. This child was like a weed and could grow anywhere. In this way, he felt relieved.

"The Bachelor's Mansion, Mr. Zhang Cheng and Zhang, are your father's cousin. They can also be considered your uncle. Brother Yang can go to Zhangjiajia to study in the future." Lin Ruhai confessed: "I have sent my father. I am considered a relative, so I have nothing to be embarrassed about."

There are such relatives in the Lin family. Isn’t this old lady in the Lin family and her grandmother’s cousin? It’s really not a distant relationship.

"Didn't you walk a lot?" Lin Yutong asked tentatively. Anyway, there was no contact on the gift list.

"The Zhang family and the Jia family have some rifts. When the wife was there, the inner house became a little distant." Lin Ruhai responded vaguely.

Lin Yutong understood that the alienation of the inner house proved that the relationship between men was not interrupted. Could it be that they deliberately avoided Jia Min? Who knows? Anyway, their siblings have nothing to do with Jia Min or even have hatred. The enemy of the enemy is a friend. As long as the Zhang family does not reject their younger brother, who cares about their rift?

Lin Yuyang nodded to the elder sister and signaled her not to worry about him.

Lin Yutong smiled and changed the topic and talked about New Year's greetings.

It was not until the time of the fast time that the family had parted and they went back to their house to rest.

Lin Daiyu returned to the house and didn't know what she was feeling. Is she going back again?

However, this time, I was not alone, I was with my sister and accompanied by my brother. I was no longer alone.

But in my heart, is the Jia family still the same Jia family?

What the elder sister said sounded in her ears from time to time. She really couldn't see the Jia family members with her original mentality.

Baoyu... Lin Daiyu sighed in her heart. People are like duckweed, drifting with water. My father's condition is not good now, so who knows what will happen tomorrow?

Xueyan heard that she was going back to the Jia family again, and she felt a little unhappy.

Zijuan smiled and was restricted everywhere in the Lin family, so she was free from the Jia family.

"Amitabha, maybe the old lady misses it." Zijuan smiled and said, "Do you have to prepare gifts to all girls and Baoyu in advance?"

Lin Daiyu said lazily: "I have a sister. She has always been in good condition, but who can miss it?"

"The big girl is a capable person." Zijuan has learned to be smart now and will no longer talk about the bad things of the Lin family. She said, "But the things prepared by the girl are the girl's will. Whether it is a piece of grass, a piece of paper, a painting, or a handkerchief, it is also the girl's will. Is it not the girl's will? Who in our family can still use silver to weigh it?"

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but think of the account book she had read. Her face turned red with a hint of embarrassment. She never expected that her mother gave the Jia family so much gift.

It is said that the Jia family is rich and the extravagant life is also what she saw with her own eyes. Unexpectedly, the Lin family gave so much, and now the Jia family is still in a situation where they can hardly maintain it. She didn't understand before, but now after listening to her sister's housekeeper several times, she already understands what the monthly routine is like when she is always late in the Jia family.
