The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 11 Lin Wengxian's deathbed entrustment (please recommend and collect)

Xing Zhong's heart darkened, and he told Jia Lian in a low voice: "If there is anything that can help Brother Ru Hai, just try to fulfill his wish."

Jia Lian's nature is not bad, but he lost his mother when he was young, but Jia Amnesty was rich and honorable, he only had fun, did not do business, lived a life of luxury, and did not educate or control Jia Lian.Jia Amnesty was also a lecherous person, he acted like an official and acted indiscriminately. It was said that his father was his son's first teacher.Jia Lian is not very old, but he likes to flirt with flowers and grass the most. He is handsome, eight feet tall, with a face like a crown jade, with a romantic talent and a beautiful appearance.He shot generously, and the women all threw themselves on him as if they smelled honey.

Jia She is the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, who has inherited the title. If there is no mistake in the future, half of the family business will be given to Jia Lian. The old lady loves Baoyu, but she is not bad to Jia Lian. Married a shrewd and capable woman to govern him.

Jia Lian was still mellow and kind in his bones. Hearing what Xing Zhong said, he hurriedly said, "Uncle, just explain."

Lin Ruhai barely opened his eyes, and stretched his hands forward. Jia Lian quickly grabbed Lin Ruhai, "Uncle, my nephew is here."Jia Lian felt ashamed for a moment. When he got off the pier just now, he saw the appearance of the Lin family's big housekeeper, and he only thought that the Lin family was acting in front of him.Looking at it now, Uncle Lin is in danger.

Lin Ruhai's voice was intermittent, and in the end he only uttered a few words, and in the end, it was difficult to pronounce the ligatures, so he could only stare at Xing Zhong.

Xing Zhong understood what Lin Ruhai meant, so he said to Jia Lian: "The only thing your Uncle Lin is worried about is Miss Lin. He wants you to testify here." head.

"Your uncle Lin just hopes that when the old lady of the Jia family finds Miss Lin's husband's house in the future, she will ask us to take a look at her first. If we agree, the marriage will be counted."

Jia Lian was very puzzled, no matter how good Uncle Lin had a good relationship with Uncle Xing, the Xing family was an outsider after all, and had no right to take care of such matters, not to mention that the old lady would not agree, even he himself would not agree now. .

"Mother-in-law." Lin Ruhai managed to utter a few words.

Xing Zhong said softly: "I have already promised Brother Ruhai that your eldest aunt will accept Miss Lin as a foster daughter."

In this way, the Xing family has absolute power to intervene in this matter.The adoptive mother is not a godmother, so Jia Lian naturally understands this truth.Just like Brother Bao, just to make a living, he recognized a godmother who sent his name back then.What kind of mother is that, a slave bought by a rich family in disguise, but the stepmother is different, most of the stepmothers have the grace of nurturing, and their status is either higher or worthy enough.

Jia Lian couldn't help being a little more curious about the Xing family, and even a little more respectful.

Xing Zhong stared at Jia Lian closely: "Can you fulfill Brother Ruhai's wish?" Jia Lian hesitated, Lin Ruhai panted heavily, "...Yes."

Jia Lian thought of how he had been at home all these years. When he was young, his mother took care of him tightly. Later, he had a stepmother on his head. After he got married and started a business, there was a tigress guarding him like a thief all day long. Jia Lian didn't completely done myself.A man is a hero in life, and a ghost in death. Could it be that he spends his whole life hiding under a woman's skirt?

Jia Lian's expression turned serious: "My nephew promised my uncle that I will do my best to help sister Lin find a good family. If the uncle and the old lady disagree, my nephew will stand up and testify for today's oath."

Lin Ruhai smiled gratifiedly, and gradually lowered his hands. Xing Zhong and Jia Lian were shocked, and even called out a few times, but Lin Ruhai didn't answer anymore, and his breath was so weak that he could hardly breathe out.The two hurried to invite Daiyu, at this moment Daiyu met the mother and daughter of the Xing family, and everyone was feeling sorry for each other, when they suddenly heard a bad letter from Master Lin in front of them, Daiyu fell to the ground, Thanks to Zicuckoo's quick hands and quick eyes, she rushed to cushion it first, otherwise Daiyu's body would not be able to withstand such a blow.

On the third day of September, the second day after Lin Ruhai saw her daughter, she was unable to overcome the entanglement of the serious illness. She came naked and went naked again. Jia Lian, the second master of the big house, was sent, and even Zhen Yingjia's brothers were sent to worship.

The Zhen family has not been compared to the past in recent years, only Zhen Yingjia is left in the whole family as the president of the Jinling Provincial Sports Institute, and the grand occasion of the four pick-ups in the past has never been seen again.The foundation of the Zhen family is in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are not as well-informed as those who came from Rongning and Ningfu's servants at the foot of the emperor, so when Lin Ruhai died, the Zhen family's reaction was probably faster.

While Jia Lian sent someone back to Beijing to report the news to the old ladies and wives, he discussed with Xing Zhong about helping the spirit return home.It turned out that Lin Ruhai had already written a memorial before his death, dedicating the Lin family's house in Yangzhou, which is the Yushi Mansion where they live now, to the imperial court for the benefit of his successor.Lin Daiyu dismissed most of the servants, and she had some leftovers. Daiyu originally planned to take them back to Gusu, but thought that Gusu only had an ancestral grave and no Lin family’s house, and it would be troublesome to take everyone there, so she went to Xiu Mama Yan is here for advice.

After a few days, Xiuyan's mother was helping Prime Minister Lin's house with chores, and now she was counting expenses with Xiuyan for the past two or three days.Seeing Lin Daiyu enter the door, Xiuyan's mother first smiled: "It's cold outside, why don't you wear a big cloak?" Xiuyan's mother took off the plain green Doro cloak around Lin Daiyu's neck with her own hands, touched the paper-thin lining, her eyes were filled with disbelief. Agreed: "Why don't you wear the cloak I sent you this morning?"

Lin Daiyu looked at Xing Xiuyan in embarrassment. It's not that she doesn't know good and bad. On the contrary, she always remembers the favor of the Xing family in her heart.When they came up in the morning, Zicuckoo held a sky-blue otter fur cloak with her.When Daiyu first asked about the origin of the cloak, Zijuan hesitated to speak, and just asked herself to put it on. Later, when she asked urgently, Zijuan said that it was the girl from the Xing family who heard about the Lin family's things falling into the water, and put her own cloak into the water. A big cloak was sent to Daiyu to wear.

Daiyu was happy and sad at the same time, the happy thing was that there were still people thinking about her at this time, the sad thing was seeing that the Xing family's sister, parents and brothers were all there, but she was alone in the world like a lone wild goose, and she didn't know where it was. the end.

So Daiyu didn't wear the brand new cloak when she saw it, but asked Xueyan to send it to Sister Xing intact.

Xiuyan dragged Daiyu to sit beside her, replaced the stove she was stepping on under Daiyu's feet, and put the hand stove she brought from home into Daiyu's, and asked carefully: "It won't be long Let's go back to Gusu today, if there is anything else to see, why don't you ask Butler Lin to take you there today?"

Daiyu shook her head and said in a low voice: "I just want to take my father back to my hometown and be buried with my mother. The two old people will not be alone in the future. It's just me. I can feel at ease when I go to the capital."

As she spoke, Daiyu inevitably choked up again, seeing how sad Xiuyan's mother and Xiuyan mother and daughter were, she also sobbed for a while.Taking advantage of Lin Daiyu's presence, Mrs. Lu made the Lin family's general accounts for the past few days and handed them over to her. Where did Daiyu take care of such general affairs? That is absolutely impossible.

Xiuyan figured out what she was thinking, so she held her temper patiently, every time Lu Shi said something, Xiuyan explained it to Daiyu, her words were straightforward and to the point, Daiyu really understood clearly.

The expenses of the Lin family in the past two or three days are nothing more than a few big places, first of all, the money for Lin Ruhai's coffin, which has been ordered a long time ago, and he also had the idea of ​​rushing to get sick at the beginning, but he still used it after all.The second is to buy curtains and plain clothes, and to invite monks and nuns in the temple, and Taoist priests and aunts in the temple to chant scriptures and save lives. This item cost a lot.As for the daily tea and food, it is a trivial matter.

Daiyu never cared about these things, but today she was surprised to hear that these small items cost no less than 5000 taels, and this was not counting the money of the servants who were about to be dismissed.

Xiuyan re-wrote the list: "This is written on the relationship between people. Uncle Lin is a kind person. Almost all these friends from the Jiangnan official circles were present. Some of them were with a few hundred, and some were with a few thousand. My sister has something in her heart. The number, in the future, for weddings and funerals, you should pay your respects according to this."

The first one on the list was Jiangnan Zhen's family, who gave a total of 2000 taels, which was twice as high as the second Yangzhou Jiedushi. Daiyu never remembered that her father mentioned such a family, "Sister Xiuyan, this What is the origin of the Zhen family? It is so generous, if you are really friendly with our family, why have I never heard of it from my father?"

Although Xiuyan knew a little about the origin of the Zhen family, she told Lin Daiyu now that Lin Daiyu's Huimin mind might doubt her in the future.Xiuyan looked at her mother, Lu Shi understood, and smiled at Daiyu: "We don't know much about it, but I heard from your uncle that most of the people in the Zhen family are close to their nephew. Why don't you wait until the evening when everyone is gone? Quietly ask Brother Lian, if the Zhen family is trying to save face from the Jia family, you should give the money to your nephew as soon as possible; if it is only for Mr. Lin, ask your nephew when you turn around, and ask him to help watch over what is going on in the Zhen family recently. You just follow along."

Zijuan is more proficient in these ways of the world than Lin Daiyu. Although she is young, she hears Xiuyan's mother hit the point in every sentence, and secretly agrees with Master Lin's accurate knowledge of people.The girl should have been taught by such an elder long ago, the mother and daughter of the Xing family are kind-hearted, and they are not just after the money left by Master Lin.

Thinking of this, Zijuan hurriedly said with a smile: "My wife is accurate in everything, but one thing is not true."

Seeing that her most trusted girl was so ignorant, Lin Daiyu was worried that Mrs. Xing and sister Xiuyan would blame their master and servant, and it was the first time she went to drink Zijuan so severely: "You girl, what nonsense are you talking about here? You don't have the right to speak here! "

Zijuan was not angry, but smiled happily: "Even if the girl said me, I will argue with Mrs. Xing and ask Miss Xing to judge me!"
