Yurun Bingyan of the Red Chamber

Chapter 2

Sure enough, before noon, the boat had arrived at the pier.After tidying up, Daiyu got off the boat with Xueyan, and the housekeeper of the Lin family came to pick her up at the pier.After getting into the carriage sent by the Lin family, Mother Wang came back after a while, and said with some sighs: "The general Huangfu really has a heart. The girl didn't know, she thought she just sent someone to follow us, but she didn't expect that the whole journey would actually happen. It was escorted by General Huangfu himself." Wang Momo was shocked when she saw the man in the silver armor and green robe on the boat, but she also knew that this must be the ghostly General Yanwang that was rumored in the capital. .He hurriedly expressed his gratitude, saying that it is inconvenient for the girl to come to thank her in person in the boudoir, please forgive Yunyun, the general.That Huangfu Bingyan was not at all as violent and vicious as the rumors said, he just said lightly that it's okay, and ordered people to take Wang Momo off the boat.Wang Momo couldn't help sighing inwardly, he is obviously an outstanding man but he didn't know why he was so unbearable, even if his appearance was ruined, he was a thousand times better than those young masters of the Jia family.What can't be seen through a pair of old eyes who have seen all kinds of things in the world for decades, so naturally they will not be fascinated by mere appearance like ordinary people.

Daiyu was also a little surprised, just when the wind blew up a corner of the gauze curtain, bringing the distant scenery into Daiyu's eyes.But the ship with the flag of the eagle with wings spread has left the alley and returned.Under the eagle flag, a figure in a green robe stood facing the wind, and his battle robe fluttered in the wind.That back figure is like a pine tree standing alone on a high mountain cliff, it is outstanding.Faintly gives people a feeling of being as reliable as a mountain.Although she didn't see the front face, Daiyu also knew that the man must be the Flame King Huangfu Bingyan.

Lin.

"Daddy..." Daiyu hurried into Lin Ruhai's room, and saw Lin Ruhai half leaning on the bed, with a pale face and described as thin.Where can I still see the chic and handsome appearance of Lin Tanhua, who used to be the most romantic in Beijing?Seeing her father so haggard and old, Daiyu couldn't bear the tears in her eyes, and they flowed out on the spot, "Daddy..."

Seeing her precious daughter who hadn't seen her for more than two years, Lin Ruhai finally had a gleam of brilliance in her dim eyes, and said with a smile, "Yu'er is back? Come and show daddy."

Daiyu had long forgotten how reserved and careful she was at Jia's house, she threw herself into her father's arms crying, "Daddy, why didn't you tell Yu'er earlier when you were so sick?" Lin Ruhai patted her daughter's head lovingly Comforting, "I have grown into a big girl, why are you still crying like this? Daddy is fine. It will be much better to see Yu'er back." Daiyu snuggled into her father's arms, smiling through tears, "Then Yu'er earlier Come back, wouldn’t Daddy get better sooner?” Lin Ruhai nodded with a smile, “Okay, Yu’er will stay with Daddy until Daddy recovers.” Daiyu sucked her little nose and looked at Lin Ruhai tearfully, “ Yu'er won't leave when Daddy is well." Lin Ruhai smiled, looking at Daiyu with satisfaction, for the past two years, she was most worried about this daughter who was far away in the capital, and now she finally came back to him.After all, it was all right, as long as the future affairs of their siblings were arranged, he would have nothing to worry about.

"Master, Miss, the young master is back."

Lin Ruhai smiled even more when he heard that, looked at Daiyu and said, "Your brother is back too. Tell him to come in quickly."

After a while, a seven or eight-year-old boy walked in, saw Daiyu's eyes lit up, and respectfully greeted Lin Ruhai.When Lin Ruhai called out, he blinked and looked at Daiyu and said, "Sister?" This boy is really Lin Moyu, Daiyu's younger brother. But he loves his sister.Daiyu has been weak since she was a child, and the only company she has at home is her three-year-old brother who laughs at her. Naturally, she loves him very much. Seeing that the little child has grown a section back then, her heart is sore You are happy, "Mo'er."

The two siblings hugged each other and wept loudly again.Lin Ruhai leaned against the bed and was very relieved to see the pair of sons and daughters leaning on each other.Although they have been separated for several years and have not been raised together, the nature of flesh and blood cannot be broken, "Okay, you two, a family reunion should be joyful, what's the proper way to cry?"

Daiyu pulled Moyu to sit down beside her, and was very pleased to see her younger brother looking handsome, "Daddy, isn't Mo'er usually at home?" Just now she heard a servant report that Mo was back.

Lin Ruhai nodded, "Moyu is studying in Hangzhou Academy. Although my father can teach him at home, but after all, our family is small and lonely. It's better to be outside." Daiyu looked at her father's thin face , my heart was sour, I was not at home, my brother was studying outside, and my father was alone at home, wouldn't it be even more lonely.Holding Lin Ruhai's arm, Daiyu said coquettishly: "Now that Yu'er is back, Mo'er will also move back later, our family is still lively and lively."

Lin Ruhai knew that her daughter was considerate and filial, nodded and said: "It's all according to Yu'er. When Dad is better, he will teach you siblings himself."

Daiyu and Moyu naturally responded quickly.Lin Ruhai's knowledge is not inferior to those great scholars in the academy.Even better.With his personal guidance, it is true that there is no need to go to the academy to study.Daiyu has always admired her father the most, and since she was a child at home, Lin Ruhai taught her knowledge hand in hand, so she was naturally very happy.

Both children returned to their knees, and Lin Ruhai's spirit improved a lot.The three father and daughter sat together gossiping and almost forgot the time, but Daiyu was afraid that her father would be tired, so she helped Lin Ruhai to lie down and rest, and took Moyu out.

After Daiyu came back, Lin Ruhai's health really improved a lot, and he was able to get out of bed and walk around in a few days.Then Jia Lian was received in the study.After being polite, Jia Lian happily took the 2000 taels silver note from Lin Ruhai and went for a stroll in Suzhou City.He thought to himself that the Lin family was as rich as the old lady said, and they would pay 2000 taels for a random move.

Lin Ruhai sent Jia Lian away, his originally smiling and gentle face gradually darkened.In fact, how could his own body not know about it?My pulse condition has long been exhausted, and my spirit these days is just a flashback.It's just that the pair of young children really made him worry. If they couldn't make proper arrangements for their future, Lin Ruhai felt that even if he went underground in the future, he would have no face to face his wife.After thinking for a long time, Lin Ruhai took out a seemingly plain jade box from the cabinet, only the red flame on the box was very eye-catching.After looking at the jade box again and again, Lin Ruhai ordered someone to bring his two sons and daughters to him.

In the past two days, Daiyu and her brother reunited after a long absence, and it was time for them to be intimate.Daiyu was very proud of her younger brother who was polite and well-founded at a young age, but felt that even Baoyu was not as good as her brother.Hearing that Lin Ruhai was looking for them, the siblings hurried to the study, "Daddy, are you looking for Yu'er and Mo'er?"

Lin Ruhai nodded and waved for the two to come to him.Daiyu blinked and looked at her father, feeling flustered for some reason.As if Daddy was going to say something bad, he called out a little uneasy, "Daddy..." Lin Ruhai patted his daughter's little hand with a smile and said, "Yu'er is already 11 years old, and she will be a big girl in a few years. Yu'er, you are an elder sister, you must discipline your younger brother well in the future, and Mo'er must correct anything wrong." Seeing her father's serious face, Daiyu also nodded.Lin Ruhai continued: "Mo'er, you are a boy in the family, you must protect your sister in the future, and don't let outsiders bully her." Mo Yu nodded heavily and said: "Don't worry, Daddy, Mo'er will definitely protect my sister."

Looking at her father's faint smile, Daiyu felt an unusual soreness in her heart. She pulled Lin Ruhai and cried, "Mo'er is still a child, so Yu'er doesn't want his protection. Yu'er wants Daddy."

Lin Ruhai smiled kindly, gently wiped the tears from her daughter's face and said with a smile: "Silly boy, why are you crying? Listen carefully to what Daddy has to say."

The two siblings looked at each other, both felt the difference between their fathers, and nodded heavily.

Lin Ruhai sighed softly, thinking that these two children would depend on each other for life, he felt extremely reluctant, so he could only ask: "Yu'er, how have the Jia family treated you all these years?"

Daiyu nodded, "Grandmother treats Yu'er very well." She was in Jia's family, and she was better than Baoyu in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. she.Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "Now that Daddy is still here, surely your grandmother's family will not treat you badly? It's just that there are a lot of gossips, right?"

Thinking of the trivial words of those maids and women in Jia's family, Daiyu lowered her head sadly, "It's Yu'er's fault that she can't do such slick things."

Lin Ruhai raised her eyebrows and said, "How can my daughter of the Lin family be bad? How can my daughter of the Lin family do things like flattery? Does Yu'er know who we are? What kind of family is the Jia family?" Daiyu nodded and said : "My grandmother's family is the ancestor of the great ancestor who made military exploits, and the court conferred the title of Rong Guogong. 40 years ago, the Taixian Emperor issued a decree, except for some special hereditary replacements, all other titles were conferred, so the grandparents Duke Shan inherited the second-class marquis, but now the eldest uncle who inherits the title is the third-class earl." Seeing Lin Ruhai's expression of approval, he continued: "When our Lin family founded the country, our ancestors were exceptionally named county kings. The King of Qin County has been inherited for four generations, and his father was the first emperor's Tanhua for 12 years."

Lin Ruhai nodded with a smile and said, "Yu'er is right. Then do you know that our Lin family is one of the county kings who have been inherited by the royal family?"
