Red Mansion(16)

Back to Gusu, there is another big event, which is to let the two aunts enter the ancestral grave of the Lin family.

Being able to fulfill the wishes of the two of them is a matter of great significance to Lin Yuyang. The memories of my childhood have faded little by little. In the past few years, I have been taken care of by my eldest sister, and I have not suffered a little. Now that he has recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, his life has been led by his eldest sister to a completely different path.

He knelt behind his eldest sister and burst into tears. It is okay to say that it is to mourn the biological mother, or to say that it is to feel nostalgic for the past. In short, the love can't be stabilized.

Lin Yutong's expression was much calmer. She had no contact with her two aunts, and the only thing in the memory of this little girl was the fear of losing her dependence, and at that time, this child did not know what death was.

She kowtowed sincerely, and then dragged her brother to stand up: "Okay! They always want us to be okay. If you are happy, people from the other world will be relieved. The day when everyone goes, you can only think of it as a temporary separation. ”

Lin Yuyang sniffed and nodded.

Lin Ruhai looked at a pair of children, and felt a little guilty about these two aunts. The tomb was well repaired, and it was the only thing he could do for the two of them.

Lin Yutong looked at Jia Min's grave and said in his heart: When they get below, the three women are not sure how to pinch it.

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

The concubine has no reason to move her aunt's grave, but she is embarrassed to face the eldest sister and eldest brother.

Lin Yutong can understand. She believed that the two aunts would not be happy to see their daughters appear.

After finishing his business, Lin Ruhai took his three children and went back to Yangzhou directly. One is that the New Year is coming, and the other is that there are still errands in the yamen.

When I returned to Yangzhou, it was already the day of the moon.

Lin Yuyang is basically studying at home now, and Lin Ruhai personally instructs. This made Lin Yutong more satisfied. A famous teacher is definitely of great benefit to students.

Lin Yutong was busy with the New Year. There are not many relatives in the Lin family, but Lin Ruhai's colleagues still need to come and go. None of this can be sloppy. She was busy with her feet not touching the ground.

Originally, I called Lin Daiyu to help, but after coming for two or three days, I made an excuse not to come. I heard that I went to the study to evaluate rare books. Lin Ruhai not only didn't dislike this, but also liked it.

Maybe in his bones, he hopes that his children will have a little bit of his knowledge and freedom.

Lin Yuyang studied with a very clear goal, which was for the imperial examination. In this way, there is a bit of utilitarianism. Lin Ruhai was probably a little disappointed.

Lin Yutong felt that he might have deviated from his younger brother's education. At that time, life was difficult, and half a year's income could not buy books for the imperial examination. Where do you dare to think of anything else?

She mentioned it to her brother vaguely because of this. Lin Yuyang was very open-minded and comforted: "With fame, when will it not be possible to cultivate sentiment." ”

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

She can't understand Sister Lin's Qinggao, and Sister Lin may not understand her worldliness.

However, this does not prevent the two from living in peace.

The new year is coming in this family atmosphere. This is Lin Ruhai's happiest year. When worshipping ancestors, there is finally no need to be alone. Looking at the three children kneeling behind him, he felt worthy of the ancestors of the Lin family. The Lin family has been passed down for several generations, and there is only one son, and there is not even a superfluous girl. Although he has only one son now, he has two daughters.

His complexion looked ruddy and healthy, and his smile was hearty. gradually has the demeanor of Tanhualang.

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

"Out of the New Year, my father asked you to send you to Beijing. Lin Ruhai said lightly.

Lin Yutong thought he was hallucinating.

"Father, what do you say. Lin Yutong asked involuntarily.

Lin Ruhai looked at the eldest daughter and sighed: "For your safety, my father has to send you to Beijing." ”

Lin Yutong knew that this involved the situation in the court and Jiangnan, and she wrinkled her eyebrows and said, "Father can't resign." ”

"Isn't that stupid. Lin Ruhai knew that the eldest daughter was smart and quite skilled in dealing with the world, and explained: "Pushing the car uphill, where can I let go halfway." Unless you're exhausted, ......"

"My father was afraid that we would become my father's weakness. Lin Yutong looked at Lin Ruhaidao.

"Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing your parents. Forcing each other in a hurry, they can't do anything. Lin Ruhai looked at the eldest daughter, "My father knows what you can do, so I can only entrust Brother Yang and Daiyu to you." ”

"What about you, father? Lin Yutong was a little flustered. There are forests and seas, and they all have shade, if there is no such person, they can really shelter from the wind and rain.

He is eccentric, and he has given Sister Lin more love. But Lin Yutong has to admit that in this world, whether it is himself or his younger brother, he needs 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 sobbed lowly. She is not stupid, so she naturally hears the crisis contained in this.

Lin Ruhai's eyes were red, the children could care about him so much, which made his heart soft, and he was instantly stuffed with something. He smiled and reassured: "My father fell ill this time, and the emperor knew how important it was for my father to be in this position." Sent a secret guard. Safety is safe. "Although you are not free, you are safe and secure, and the rest is not important.

Lin Yutong saw that the matter was irreparable, and asked: "I'm afraid that we are in the mansion in the capital, and my father is not worried about us living." ”

Lin Ruhai looked at the capable eldest daughter, and then looked at the little daughter who was crying and sobbing on the side. I can't help but sigh, at this time, it's more reassuring to be a big girl. He said: "The old lady of Rongguo Mansion has written again, and wants to take you to live for a few days." For the father, this is a good opportunity. What's ...... in Nafu? At least in terms of safety, there is no problem. ”

Lin Yutong nodded, this is also true. Lin Ruhai did not trust the Jia family, but trusted the emperor. was sent to the capital, and it was sent to the emperor's nose. The Jia family didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary to them under the emperor's nose. Besides, none of the masters of the Jia family have any brains to get involved in big things. With the name of four kings and eight princes, people will not let them know about important matters.

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

"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I packed up my things and went to the capital. Lin Yutong has never been a sad person, she always makes rational choices and arrangements. Thinking of going to the capital, Lin Yutong couldn't help asking: "What about Brother Yang'er's studies." "The Jia family's family education, she can't be trusted.

Lin Ruhai really knows this daughter. It was only a moment before she thought of so many arrangements. This child is like a weed, it can grow anywhere. Then he was relieved.

"Bachelor's Mansion, Mr. Zhang Cheng Zhang, is my father's cousin. It's also your uncle. Brother Yang can go to Zhang's house to study in the future. Lin Ruhai confessed: "The letter, my father has already sent it." It's a family of dear relatives, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about. ”

The Lin family still has such relatives. Isn't this old lady of the Lin family, the cousin of her grandmother. It's really not a distant relationship.

"Don't you move around much. Lin Yutong asked tentatively. Anyway, I didn't see any correspondence on the gift list.

"The Zhang family and the Jia family have some dislikes, and when the wife is there, the inner house is a little more estranged. Lin Ruhai replied vaguely.

Lin Yutong understood, and the estrangement of the inner house proved that the communication between their men was not interrupted. Could it be that he deliberately avoided Jia Min. Who knows. Anyway, his sister and brother have nothing to do with Jia Min and even have a grudge. The enemy of the enemy is a friend, as long as the Zhang family does not reject his younger brother, who cares what suspicions they have.

Lin Yuyang nodded to the eldest sister and motioned for her not to worry about him.

Lin Yutong changed the topic with a smile and talked about the New Year's greetings.

It wasn't until the time of the day that the family broke up and went back to the house to rest.

Lin Daiyu returned to the house, and she didn't know what her mood was. Jia family, is she going back again?

However, this time I wasn't alone, I was with my sister, accompanied by my brother. I'm no longer alone.

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

The words that the eldest sister said rang in her ears from time to time. She really couldn't use her original mentality to look at the Jia family anymore.

Baoyu he ...... Lin Daiyu sighed in her heart, people are like duckweed, drifting with the water. My father is not doing well now, and who knows what tomorrow will bring.

When Xue Yan heard that she was going back to Jia's house again, she was a little unhappy.

Zijuan was smiling, she was bound everywhere in the Lin family, where was the Jia family at ease.

"Amitabha, maybe how the old lady misses it. Zijuan smiled and said, "The gift to the girls and Baoyu, do the girls have to prepare in advance?" ”

Lin Daiyu said lazily: "There is a sister in Hengzhu." She has always been thoughtful in her life, and who else can she miss. ”

"The big girl is a capable person. Zijuan is now smart, and she will no longer talk about the Lin family's badness, she said: "But what the girl prepares is the girl's heart." It doesn't matter if it's a piece of grass or paper, or a painting, or a handkerchief. It's also the girl's intention. Isn't it possible for any of our family to measure it with silver? ”

Lin Daiyu's heart couldn't help but think of the account book she had read. His face flushed with embarrassment for a while. She never thought that her mother gave the Jia family so many gifts.

said that the Jia family was rich and luxurious, and she saw it with her own eyes. I didn't expect the Lin family to give so much, and now the Jia family is still in a situation where it can barely be maintained. She didn't understand it before, but now after listening to her sister's housekeeper a few times, she already understands what is going on in the Jia family's monthly cases that are always late.

She has always not taken silver seriously, but she doesn't feel sorry for the silver given to the Jia family, but she can't help but worry about the future of the Jia family. The old lady is old, and the sisters are also very good, and Baoyu ...... What is their future?
