Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 321 Jia Min's Last Thoughts

inside the hall,
After hearing the words, the faces of the few people were ugly, and they were silent. Even Gu Yunshi guessed that Mrs. Lin must be the same as Mrs. Lin, maybe a little heavier, and her current behavior also shows that Mrs. Lin is afraid that she has returned to the past.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive, and with Mrs. Lin's behavior like this, I am afraid that there is not much time left.

Zhang Jinyu's heart tightened, and she hurriedly said to Gu Yunshi;
"Yunshi, go and show Mrs. Lin."

"Don't go, let Min'er have a good meal, help me up, and the old man changes."

Lin Ruhai directly refused, saying that in the current situation, I am afraid that the gods are too difficult to save, so it is better to arrange Yu'er together and let the wife be a witness before leaving. I am afraid this is also what my beloved wife thinks.

"Eunuch Zhao, please bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

"Okay, okay, come here, I will serve you with pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Eunuch Zhao shouted anxiously to the outside, and soon the guards of the Imperial City Division brought the things over. Lin Ruhai poured some water into the ink, grinded the ink quietly, looked at Zhang Jinyu and said;
"Now at this time, I, Lin Ruhai, believe that I have seen the right person. Daiyu is young and weak. I am afraid that the marriage will need to be postponed. I agree to this marriage. You can go to Jia's mother's house to stay for a while after the postponement. Day, wait until the wedding date and leave there after getting married."

Then Lin Ruhai said again;

"My Lin family is also a family of eunuchs in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many people in the clan, but none of them can achieve great things. After I die, the property of the Lin family will belong to the clan. After spending money, there are very few remaining children and nephews who can achieve success, it is better to live in the countryside, on the contrary, it will be stable for a lifetime, and the rest of the old men can't ask."

After saying that, Lin Ruhai took out a box from the gap under the pillow and handed it over.

"Here, this is me and my wife, and all the family wealth of the Lin family. Now it is Yu'er's dowry. I, Lin Ruhai, am selfish for a while, and the people in the clan are worthy of them. All the wealth belongs to Yu'er, and now it is all gone. Keep it for you, cough cough."

Zhang Jinyu silently took the box and opened it to see that it was a thick stack of 10 taels of silver notes. It was probably as many as several million taels. It was probably the life savings of several generations of the Lin family.

"Mr. Lin, you!"

"Huh? Why are you still called Master Lin?"

Zhang Jinyu didn't know that Lin Ruhai really agreed, so he also knelt down,
"My son-in-law pays homage to my father-in-law. Jinyu will not touch this money at all. Please rest assured, my father-in-law, Jinyu will be responsible for Yu'er for the rest of his life and will not let her down."

"Hey, okay, get up, this old man is not pedantic, use it when it's time to use it, as long as you treat Yu'er well and have kind thoughts, don't forget your promise to this old man."

"Yes, father-in-law."

Zhang Jinyu kowtowed on the spot, then stood up, Lin Ruhai polished the ink, picked up the brush and wrote down the two marriage letters of Lin Daiyu and Zhang Jinyu, and then wrote a secret letter and a last word, wrapped in an envelope .

He took out the sealing paint and sealed the secret envelope, handed it to Eunuch Zhao, and said in a slow tone;
"Grand Eunuch, please give it to the Emperor, saying that Lin Ruhai can no longer run errands for the Emperor."

Zhao Sihong received it with red eyes, choked up and said;

"The Zajia family will definitely tell you, don't worry, Mr. Lin."

Then Lin Ruhai handed the two marriage letters and last words to Zhang Jinyu, explaining;

"It's a family now. Jinyu can take care of the Lin family's funeral and arrangements. Today, hold a banquet and hang up lanterns, so that my wife and I can be happy together. For the two of you, let's congratulate together once."

Zhang Jinyu took the marriage letter and suicide note, put them in his arms solemnly, wiped the corners of his eyes, and agreed,

"Don't worry, father-in-law, Jin Yu will make arrangements, right here in the inner hall."

Then he stood up and announced his departure to Mr. Zhao, and walked out of the main room, leaving Lin Daiyu and Lin Ruhai alone.

Lin Daiyu looked at her father who was smiling, and couldn't help crying anymore.

"Father, my daughter doesn't want to go to the capital, but to go there, I just want to be with you."

"Fool, what are you talking about? Today is the day of our family reunion. How can we cry again? Do you know why you are sent to Jia's house in the capital? Apart from worrying about your health, you are raised by the old matriarch. Your grandmother As the wife of the Rongguo Mansion, she has been rich and honored all her life, and she is the most proficient in dealing with people and the world. You have to be eager to learn. Although Luo Yunhou said that he came from a barbaric place outside the pass, he is a noble man after all. It is good to know more."

Lin Ruhai looked at her beloved daughter, and taught her side by side, Lin Daiyu just shook her head in pain, Lin Ruhai helped Daiyu up, sighed again, and persuaded;
"Yu'er, I'm afraid there will be no more days for my father. I can't let you go in this life. As long as your grandmother is alive, you will not be troubled in Jia's house. She is a virtuous person, and the sister who is close to you in the house There are also some, with them as companions, you will never be alone, you have a lot to learn, so be careful in everything."

Lin Daiyu finally nodded, unable to bear her father's disappointment and sadness, agreed to reply,

"Understood, Daddy, my daughter will change your clothes for you."

"it is good."

And outside,
Zhao Si had already sent the servants and servants in the yard to prepare meals and banquets, and then sent people to prepare and tidy up the main house, and went outside to buy some red brocade cloth and red lanterns to decorate the backyard.

After making arrangements, I saw the maid who was still hanging there with a look of disgust on her face.

"Master Hou, what should we do with this person?"

Zhang Jinyu hurriedly took Gu Yunshi to see Mrs. Lin, not wanting to care about those things. However, this woman was loyal to the savior, but she was an accomplice after all. She shook her head and replied;

"Eunuch Zhao, let's figure it out."

After saying that, he led the people to the back hall without turning around. Zhao Si was left feeling bored.
"Come on, take her down first, and the others hang up those red brocade cloths for the miscellaneous family first, hurry up."

"Yes, Grand Duke."

The people in the Imperial City Division were all busy at work and started to arrange the courtyard, decorating the somewhat gloomy courtyard with enthusiasm, as if it was Chinese New Year.

Zhang Jinyu seemed to have a feeling in her heart. As soon as she walked to the back hall, she saw a kind-faced woman standing at the door and looking out. She had kind eyebrows and kind eyes, but she was as thin as a stick, and her face was sickly. Appears extremely excited.

But that kind of graceful temperament can't deceive people, Zhang Jinyu hurriedly led people over, then knelt on the ground, kowtowed,

"My son-in-law, Zhang Jinyu, pays his respects to his mother-in-law."

Jia Min stood behind the door, supported by the maid beside him, and stood there with difficulty. Seeing the handsome young man in front of him bowing like this, and hearing that he claimed to be his son-in-law, he must know that it was arranged by her husband, Lin Ruhai, and she was also heartbroken. Yu'er, she has a good home. Although she doesn't know which son it is, she is generous and unpretentious, so she must be someone who can be entrusted to.

"Child, come on, get up quickly, cough cough."

"Thank you, mother-in-law, Yunshi, come here quickly and show the old lady."

After Zhang Jinyu got up, she hurriedly shouted to the people behind her. Gu Yunshi walked over with the medicine box on her back, gave a salute,
"Madam, I still need to feel the pulse."

Mrs. Dorian shook her head and said with a smile;
"Don't waste your time, I also know that today is the end of my life. I have been ill for so long, but I can still get up today. Finally, God has pity on my poor daughter. Before I left, I found Mr. Ruyi, Satisfied, come, help me to see their father and daughter, I haven't seen them for a long time."

Seeing what her mother-in-law said, Zhang Jinyu shook her head at Gu Yunshi, signaling to back down, and then personally helped Jia Min out of the back hall,
Jia Min stepped out of the room slowly, walked in the corridor, looked at the surrounding yard, and said emotionally;

"It's still the same. This small yard was pruned bit by bit with Yu'er when I was idle. At that time, Yu'er was very happy."

"Don't worry, mother-in-law, there will be another chance in the future."

Zhang Jinyu comforted by his side.

Mrs. Lin shook her head,
"I don't have a chance to tell you what to do. You can spend more time with Yu'er in the future. Let's go and see what their father and daughter are doing."

The two of them walked through the corridor and came to the main room. The surrounding area of ​​the main room was already decorated with dense flower clusters, and the bright red brocade cloth was directly hung on the beams, which was full of joy.

Seeing the festive look in the yard, Jia Min was also full of relief;

"Long time no see, okay, okay."

Then Jia Min moved her steps and slowly walked into the main room. As she walked inside, she saw that the room had changed, with high red candles, two high seats, and even the banquet on the side was ready.

Lin Ruhai's voice came from the partition in the back room;

"Min'er, but you're here."

"Master, it's me."

Immediately afterwards, Jia Min quickened her pace and walked in. Zhang Jinyu stopped and waited quietly outside, feeling a little sad at this time.

As soon as Jia Min came in, seeing Lin Ruhai and Daiyu, how could he hold back, he staggered over and hugged the father and daughter tightly, pained for a while.

Lin Daiyu couldn't cry even more, she just hugged her mother tightly, and Lin Ruhai also hugged her two closest relatives,

"Okay, today is a good day for Yu'er. Don't cry. Madam, my husband has chosen a good husband for Yu'er. Let's settle the matter today. But first, let me and the two of you worship. Then I want Yu'er to marry me." I will be sent to Jia's Mansion in the capital to be educated by an old lady, and I will leave when the wedding day comes. Do you think so?"

"Well, Yu'er is weak, so it's better to marry later, and I can rest assured that Daiyu will not be wronged when I send it to my mother. Mother will not be wronged for a day, but she can't wait for a long time. As for today, I really want to worship both of us." Bye, I'm afraid I won't have a chance if I don't."

Jia Min didn't know her own situation, so she nodded with tears in her eyes.

"Well, today is Yu'er's happy day, we can't delay, let's go in."

After saying that, Lin Ruhai held Jia Min in one hand and Daiyu in the other and went to the hall. Zhang Jinyu was standing there, and Eunuch Zhao also walked in.

"Master Lin, everything is ready according to your request."

Lin Ruhai supported his beloved wife to sit on the high seat, then turned around and thanked Eunuch Zhao;
"Thank you, Grand Eunuch, for taking the trouble. I have to trouble Eunuch Zhao to do the ceremony today."

"Lord Lin, don't worry, the miscellaneous family is ready."

After Lin Ruhai was done, Eunuch Zhao shouted;

"Master Hou, Miss Lin, both of you come here."

When Zhang Jinyu saw this scene, she also understood Lin Ruhai and his wife's plan. This was a wedding ceremony. This showed Lin Ruhai's love for his wife. Zhang Jinyu stretched out her hands and bowed to Eunuch Zhao, and walked over neatly. Lin Daiyu also He bowed slightly, then walked over and stood opposite Zhang Jinyu.

"One Worship"

"Second Worship Hall"

"Husband and wife salute each other, Li Cheng!"

"Father, mother, what happened to you?"
