Kowtowed to Lin Ruhai that day, even if Jia Lian and Lin Daiyu officially decided on their family affairs, they were in a hurry, and other trivial red tape should naturally be redone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since then, Jia Lian has taken over the Lin family's property and has become the official uncle of the Lin family, and can be regarded as half the master of the Lin Mansion.

After that, the human relations of the Lin Mansion were gradually dealt with by Jia Lian.

Besides, Lin Rujing, the patriarch of the Lin family, although he is also unwilling, but Jia Lian, as the descendant of the concubine of Rongguo Mansion, also has the official position of the same knowledge, and is the son-in-law of Lin Ruhai, whose status is noble and reasonable and legitimate.

Later, when Lin Rujing was sober in Lin Ruhai, he went to Lin Ruhai's room for several days to persuade him, but every time he returned in defeat.

It dragged on like this for another half a month, and finally in the evening, Lin Ruhai swallowed his last breath.

Lin Daiyu knelt in front of the bed, crying and fainting several times, and finally Jia Lian had to order Zijuan to send her back to the room, and she was not allowed to come out again.

After that, Jia Lian presided over the overall situation as the son-in-law of the Lin Mansion and handled the funeral.

It's just that Lin Ruhai is too loyal to his duties in the officialdom, and he is only dedicated to collecting money for the current emperor, but he has cut off the financial route of many people, so that he has offended too many colleagues, and he has a cold relationship with the local squire.

In addition, Lin Ruhai is not a native of Yangzhou, and the inheritance arrangement is not as good as the family authorities, so there are not too many guests at the funeral, and most of the Lin clan people are cold bystanders, but Jia Lian can cope with it with the help of Lin Zhong.

After the funeral, Jia Lian and Lin Daiyu sent the spirit back to Gusu's hometown for burial, and then temporarily settled down in the old mansion of Gusu Linfu.

In this way, the New Year is not far away at this time.

It's just that Lin Daiyu has not lost her father, and she is also a little cold, so naturally she can't go back to Kyoto Rongguo Mansion for the New Year.

So Jia Lian wrote a letter and asked Wang'er to bring it back to Wang Xifeng first, explaining in detail the matters before and after the matter, and then said that he would not be able to return home until the next year, so that Wang Xifeng would tell Jia's mother again.

Although Jia Lian has a marriage contract with Lin Daiyu, the two still sleep in separate rooms according to etiquette, even if they get along on weekdays, Jia Lian is also very respectful of Lin Daiyu. Second, Lin Daiyu was still young at this time, and although Jia Lian was anxious, she could only be patient.

The Lin family's old Gusu mansion does not occupy too much area, but it is a house full of the style of the Jiangnan Forest Garden, and the garden in the house is good at skillfully composing the changing scenery of the limited space, and the structure is small and exquisite.

There are a lot of rockery and small lakes in its garden, the strange stones produced by Taihu Lake are exquisitely colorful, and the water and stones reflect each other in the planting garden, constituting the main scenery of the garden.

There are many kinds of flowers and trees in the garden, and the layout is methodical: tall trees to shade the scorching sun, planting simple or beautiful tree-shaped trees (such as pine, soft willow) for appreciation, supplemented by the color and fragrance of flowers, fruits and leaves (such as osmanthus, red maple, kumquat, wax plum, autumn chrysanthemum, etc.). There are many bamboos in the south of the Yangtze River, and the varieties are also numerous, and the green is used as the color of the garden all the year round, or more vines and vines are planted to increase the interest of the mountains and forests. There are also those who appreciate its sound, such as lotus leaves, plantains, branches of birds, cicadas and so on.

Such a good courtyard house, Lin Ruhai was originally going to give it to the Lin family together with Gusu's field, but now before he died, he got Jia Lian's promise that his second son was surnamed Lin, and with the hope of incense inheritance, Lin Ruhai naturally would not send the ancestral house away.

In this way, the Lin clan in Gusu naturally does not have much good impression of Jia Lian and Lin Daiyu, and Jia Lian once slapped Lin Rushan and Lin Qing in the face like that, so everyone has no contact on weekdays.

But Jia Lian, as the descendant of Rongguo Mansion, no one dares to provoke right and wrong.

It's just that the indifference of the clan's relatives made Lin Daiyu more aware of the warmth and coldness of human feelings, but Jia Lian was disdainful of these people.

Although the old mansion of the Lin Mansion is no longer inhabited by the owner, there are many maids who clean it every day, and Jia Lian will ask Lin Daiyu to take a walk with him every day after dinner, eliminate food, and talk.

In addition, from time to time, the sedan chair was passed on from time to time, and Lin Daiyu was brought to the Gusu scenic spots and historic sites to play, Canglang Pavilion, Ruiguang Pagoda, Xiyuan Temple, Huanxiu Villa, Xuanmiao Sanqing Palace, and other famous places near the city were all set foot one by one.

If the weather is bad, the two will play the flute and stroke the piano in the house, and chant poems against each other.

Jia Lian originally didn't know how to write poems, but now Jia Lian, as a senior civil servant in later generations, has also read some poems in order to pat his boss's sycophants, and even practiced calligraphy for a while, so he finally didn't let Lin Daiyu compare.

Even once, after Jia Lian and Lin Daiyu played A Chinese Ghost Story together, Jia Lian affectionately talked about the love story of the scholar Ning Caichen and the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian in A Chinese Ghost Story, among which there are more heroes Yan Chixia and Montenegro old demons, Lin Daiyu was quickly deeply attracted by this story.

After listening, Lin Daiyu seemed to hesitate, thinking that such a wonderful story, if it could not be known by more people in the world, it would be a great pity, so she begged Jia Lian to write down this story.

Jia Lian was originally unwilling to bother with this effort, but he couldn't grind Lin Daiyu's soft words, so in the end he could only compromise and become Jia Lian's dictation, and Lin Daiyu edited and transcribed.

After many days of joint efforts between the two, a Chinese ghost story in the Red Chamber finally came out.

At Jia Lian's request, the final author signed two people, one is Yixiang's son, and the other is Xiaoxiang's concubine.

Although Lin Daiyu didn't understand why Jia Lian gave herself the name of 'Concubine Xiaoxiang', she finally accepted it happily.

Looking at the results of the joint efforts of the two, the hearts of the two seem to be closer.

As time passed, Lin Daiyu's mood gradually brightened, and her body slowly improved.

Then Jia Lian also took time out to meet with the original subordinates of the Lin Mansion and the villagers who rented the fields.

Vigorously and resolutely sent away some of the things that looked bad, and reduced the rent of the left, and the servants raised some monthly silver.

Because the Lin Mansion has few masters, in fact, there are not many subordinates, so that no one who can stay in the Lin Mansion dares to complain about trouble, and it has gradually become orderly.

In this way, Jia Lian and Lin Daiyu spent the New Year in Gusu, and the relationship between the two became better and better.

On this day, the gentle Jiangnan Gusu actually drifted a little snow again, Lin Daiyu held the handstove in the attic, looked at the snow scene outside the house, and chanted: "Open the door in the morning, the sky is full of snow, the snow is clear and the sun is cold." The eaves flow does not drop plum jelly, leaving only the plum fragrance and not idle. ”

Then he turned around and said to Jia Lian: "Brother Lian, what do you think of this morning snow I made?" ”

Jia Lian smiled slightly and said, "Sister, you are already smart and aura, this Chenxue is very good, you are willing to bow down for your brother." ”

It's just that Lin Daiyu refused to follow, and said coquettishly: "No, no, Brother Lian is so shirky every time, and he must write a song today." ”

Jia Lian couldn't, so he could only rack his brains to think about what poems future generations would remember to deal with today's snowy scene.

After half a ring, I finally thought of a song: "Fishing sand and gravel are frozen, and the snow is cold." The cold water of the river does not flow, and the fish chews the shadow of plum blossoms. ”

finally lost his name as a Yixiang son and coped with the past.

After this snowfall, the weather gradually warmed up.

Jia Lian had already temporarily dealt with the affairs of the Lin Mansion at this time, and continued to ask the old housekeeper Lin Zhong to supervise and take charge on his behalf, and then ordered the servants to start packing up, and only waited for the auspicious day to be chosen, and then set off to return to the Rongguo Mansion in Kyoto.
