The second year of Jingtai, winter, Lin Mansion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This year, it was surprisingly cold. Jiangnan, which has always been warm, has been a little depressed this year. The people of the Lin Mansion got up early in the morning and were busy, and the chief housekeeper Lin Zhong took people to the dock to greet them. Because since his wife went, there was no one in the back house of the Lin Mansion, so he was temporarily in charge of the Lin Zhong family, and he was also looking forward to it at this time.

There is no other reason, Lin Ruhai's body has always been a little bad, a month ago he felt that he was seriously ill, and he sent a letter to call his daughter Daiyu home, and the capital got the letter, so he sent Jia Lian to send Daiyu back, counting, today should have arrived.

It was almost noon, and Jia Lian and Dai Yucai entered the Lin Mansion under the guidance of Lin Zhong. Jia Lian was led to the guest room to freshen up first, and Daiyu went straight to see her father. After a few years, seeing that her father, who was elegant and elegant at the time, was now so terminally ill, Daiyu's heart was sour, and tears fell.

"My daughter is not filial and can't serve her father's bedside."

"Yu'er, don't cry, Daddy is fine, get up quickly."

Seeing his daughter kneeling in front of the bed alone, Lin Ruhai was also sour in his heart, he saw only this one daughter in his life, how could he not cherish it? However, in today's eventful season, many of them have not been fully considered.

With tears in her eyes, Daiyu took the decoction in Yahuan's hand, and sat down in front of the bed to serve her father with medicine. Lin Ruhai looked at his daughter, and instantly made up his mind, and said after using up the decoction: "Yu'er, you have worked hard all the way, and you will rest first." I'll invite your aunt over at noon, and you'll come back to see you again. ”

"Auntie?" Daiyu was stunned, she had grown so big, how could she ever have heard that she had an aunt?

"Your aunt has always been outside all these years, and now she has returned to her roots." Lin Ruhai said vaguely, "You remember to come and see you." ”

Daiyu responded and went to clean up, but Lin Ruhai sent someone to call Mama Wang and Xue Yan to come, and I don't know what to ask. It's just that when Mama Wang and Xue Yan came out, Xue Yan was actually a good style of raising her eyebrows, and she was disgusted by Mama Wang, so she reined in a little better, and still went back to the room to serve the girl.

Here Jia Lian cleaned up neatly, so he naturally went to visit his uncle first. I didn't want to be a housekeeper but said with a smile: "The master has ordered, and the second master Lian has worked hard all the way." If you have a good life and rest, they are all your own relatives, and it is not too late to see you another day. Jia Lian was about to find out at this time, so he said, "Thank you uncle for your kindness." It's just that I'm a junior, how can there be a reason not to visit, not to mention that my uncle is sick, and my cousin is a girl's family, when I should be able to use something, how can I hide to the side and be comfortable. Please let the housekeeper pass it on. ”

The housekeeper listened to it, praised it, and sure enough, the second master understood the courtesy, so he went in to spread the word, and after a while, someone came to invite Jia Lian in. Jia Lian saw this Uncle Lin, his face was sallow, his body was sick, and he was thin, compared to when Jia Min was first mourned, although he was sad, in the end, his graceful demeanor was still there, and now it looks like there are not many days left.

The two of them greeted each other for a while, which was nothing more than asking a doctor for medicine and taking care of themselves. Jia Lian remembered the instructions when he came to the house, and he was unconsciously intimate: "Uncle, don't think too much, how can you be busy with official affairs?" Even for the sake of my cousin, I have to take care. If there is any use, just tell your nephew, although the nephew is not talented, the household chores are more or less. ”

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "Lian'er has a heart." Yu'er is at her mother-in-law's, I heard that you and your husband take care of it, and I should thank you very much. ”

Jia Lian hurriedly said, "Uncle, this doesn't make sense. My cousin is very thoughtful, which one of the sizes in the family is not praised? I usually rarely see my cousin, although Sister Feng is in charge of the house, she is just a big family, it is inevitable to be negligent, if there is anything that neglects my cousin, please don't blame us uncle. ”

Jia Lian, although he has no talent in reading, he is worthy of being a delicate person, otherwise he can't manage the affairs of Rongguo Mansion well. Lin Ruhai nodded lightly: "You are naturally all good." Now that I'm sick, and your sister is young, I can't say that I have something to bother you. ”

Jia Lian was begging for it, and when he heard it, he hurriedly said: "Uncle just commands, if my nephew doesn't understand, I will ask my uncle again." ”

casually pointed to a matter and sent Jia Lian away, Lin Ruhai was lying on the bed, he had already thought about his game of chess many times, and after noon, he heard that Mrs. Gu was visiting, so he ordered someone to call Daiyu.

Daiyu entered the house, greeted her father first, and then listened to her father: "Yu'er come and see your aunt." ”

Daiyu looked up and saw a woman sitting on a stool, wearing a goose yellow hair embroidered peony orchid pattern collared round robe, a stone blue sprinkled horse face skirt, and only a few jade jewelry on her head, dignified and generous. The expression on his face was loving, and the brilliance between his eyebrows and eyes flowed, and he looked vaguely similar to his father. Then he stepped forward slowly, curtsied, and called "aunt".

"Good boy, get up." The woman helped her up, held her hand and said, "My aunt has not been able to return home all these years, and our aunt and nephew can only see her today." If not, why would you suffer such a grievance? ”

The voice said slowly and urgently, I don't know whether it was angry or distressed. Lin Ruhai coughed on the bed and said, "Sister Jing, don't worry, it's not too late, don't worry." ”

"Having said that, but Yu'er is a little alone, ......" Turning her head and seeing Daiyu's watery eyes, Daiyu's aunt, Han Linshi, suddenly changed her head, "What my brother said is that I am in a hurry." ”

Fu took Daiyu's hand again, said a few words, and then ordered the little girl to take a box with rosewood carved branches and inlaid opals, and only said: "Our aunt and nephew, this is the first time we have seen each other." My aunt knows that you have seen a lot of good things when you are a child, and this idea is a good idea, so you can keep it. ”

As soon as Daiyu saw this box, she knew that the contents were valuable, and after a glance at her father, she saluted and said, "Yu'er, thank you, aunt." The maid who followed the order accepted the box, and Han Lin affectionately pulled her to sit beside her.

"Yu'er, Dad is fine now, you don't have to worry too much." Lin Ruhai looked at his daughter and said lovingly, "You can't stay here for a long time, when your aunt enters Beijing in a while, you can go with her." ”

"Daddy is sick now, how can my daughter ......" Before the words were finished, Daiyu had already burst into tears on her cheeks, took the handkerchief and sobbed silently.

"Good boy, don't cry yet. Your dad hasn't finished talking yet. Han Lin put his arm around her in his arms and patted her gently, "Our ladies are all gone, and your father is left alone, and he is not tired, so he can make a good plan." Sooner or later, I will be able to enter Beijing and reunite with you. ”

Daiyu raised her head, her eyes were red from crying, and she looked at Lin Ruhai in disbelief.
