Chapter XIII Proposals
After breakfast the next day, Yang Wan took Lin Jin's hand, which had been cleaned up, and came to the upper room. Although it was said that all the people who served Lin Jin would be brought to the upper room, only her grandmother Tao Mama and the eldest girl Yuzhu were with her grandmother this time.
When Yang Wan and the others came to the upper room, they didn't see the maid and mother-in-law waiting outside the house. Lin Jin's subconscious reaction was that there should be some confidential matter being discussed, so the people who were serving were all dismissed by Lin Ruhai and Jia Min.
Just when she wanted to pull Yang Wan away, the content of the words coming from inside the room made her take back the hand that stretched out to pull Yang Wan.
“…… Master, I want to marry Sister Yu back to her parents' family. Jia Min's proposal not only stunned Lin Ruhai, but also startled Lin Jin who heard this outside.
Although when reading the book, I knew that Daiyu and Baoyu were a couple, but the Jia family was the most supportive of "Bao Dai Love" was Jia's mother. As for the Lin family's side, Cao Gong didn't write it, so I don't know whether to support or oppose it. However, later, Daiyu's parents all died, and it was useless whether they were in favor or against, because they could no longer make decisions for their daughter.
At the same time, Lin Jin also understood why the two of them sent away the people who were waiting inside and outside the house, because now they are talking about Daiyu's marriage, no matter what the result is, Daiyu's age is still young, and what the future will be, it is uncertain, so neither of them wants to spread any news so early, so as not to affect Daiyu's reputation.
Yang Wan also heard what was being said inside, and she stopped when she wanted to walk inside, and listened attentively.
Lin Ruhai reacted and asked with a surprised expression, "Why did Madam suddenly come up with such an idea?"
Sister Yu is still young, and she is still early to talk about marriage. Now it is long since I don't want to kiss the baby, so as not to misbehave when the child grows up and harm the child's life.
Besides, your mother's family doesn't have a school-age boy who is the same age as Sister Yu'er, so you can't let Sister Yu marry a concubine, right? ”
Lin Jin was stunned when she heard this, who said that there are no school-age boys, isn't there still Baoyu? Why did Lin Ruhai think he didn't exist?
As soon as Jia Min heard that Lin Ruhai didn't mention Baoyu, he immediately thought that when he saw the letter from his mother's family that day, he mentioned the topic that Yuan Chun said when he participated in the draft about being born with a different appearance, so he was a little taboo about choosing Baoyu as his son-in-law.
She pretended not to know, and sighed: "Since Brother Mao'er is gone, I only have Sister Yu left, so I have to plan for her."
Although Sister Yu'er's body is stronger than Brother Mao'er, it is not so strong, she has been taking medicine since she can eat, and she always has to get sick a few times a year. Over the years, I don't know how many doctors have been invited to diagnose and treat, but it has not worked.
One of the divorced wives is a 'bad disease', so ......"
Lin Ruhai interrupted her unhappily: "You can't help but worry too much and it will be messy." Sister Yu'er's body is a little weak, but it has not yet reached the point of serious disease. ”
Lin Jin nodded wildly outside in agreement.
Although some people in later generations guessed that Daiyu had tuberculosis, this is complete nonsense. Because tuberculosis is contagious, after Daiyu entered Jiafu, she ate and lived with Jia's mother and Baoyu, the two most noble people in Jiafu. If she is this disease, how can Jia's mother, who is good at maintenance and content with pleasure, be willing to eat with her? How could Mrs. Wang be willing to let her precious son be so close to her?
You must know that there is no way to cure this disease in ancient times, and even in modern times, it was not until more than ten years after the founding of the People's Republic of China that our country could cure tuberculosis.
In fact, Daiyu's illness was already very clear when she entered Jiafu, she was congenitally deficient.
You must know that when she was born, whether it was Lin Ruhai or Jia Min, she was already in her forties. At this age, not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, these two are already elderly parents.
Therefore, her illness, Lin Jin speculated, should be a child born to an elderly mother with weak congenital immunity, so every time the seasons change, when the weather and temperature change greatly, she will get sick if her immune system is weaker than others; And because she coughed every time she had an old illness, Lin Jin suspected that Daiyu's respiratory system should also have some problems.
For a congenitally deficient disease like hers, there is no good cure in modern times, just one word, nourishment, which means a bit of a rich disease. Therefore, Daiyu's illness is actually not a big problem, and it is not related to a bad disease.
Jia Min, who has been in the back house all his life, knows that if he really wants to fight, although the methods of the back house are not visible, he can still kill people. What's more, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a big problem since ancient times, why do many people like to kiss and kiss when they discuss marriage? In order to have such a layer of kinship, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along better.
Jia Min smiled bitterly and said, "I also know that Sister Yu'er's illness is not a bad disease, but sometimes, grandpa, you have to know that if you want to add to the crime, why should you be in trouble?"
So, that's one of the reasons why I want to marry Sister Yu back to my mother's family, my mother-in-law's family is my grandfather's family, and I think I should be much more tolerant of her. ”
Although he knew that Lin Ruhai deliberately avoided Baoyu's candidate, Jia Min couldn't help but mention it, because he was the only one who had a suitable son of the same age as Daiyu.
"As for the appropriate age candidates, sir, you forgot, my second brother's son born of jade, the child named Baoyu is only one year older than Sister Yu.
Although I am still young and I don't know what will happen when I grow up, the last time Lai Mama came to see me and said that he had been taught a few books by Sister Yuan'er, and that he had already read thousands of words in his abdomen, and his intelligence was no less than that of Zhu'er.
Besides, my mother's tutor should be trustworthy if I think the master is coming, so I don't have to worry about Baoyu being crooked. ”
Lin Jin listened to Jia Min's last sentence, and couldn't help but complain: Dear, how much of a filter have you opened to see your mother's family? Can you trust your mother's tutor? Do you know that your Jia family was complained about later, and only the two stone lions at the door were clean.
Lin Ruhai coughed lightly and said: "I don't mean to dislike the second brother-in-law, it's just that marrying a woman from a high door is the rule of marriage; Besides, Baoyu's child is not only a young son, but also has a different appearance born from jade, which makes people uncertain.
Besides, didn't you say that your mother-in-law complained in her letters that he was naughty and naughty, and who knows what he will be like when he grows up?
It's not that I can't trust my father-in-law's tutor, but it's not that there are examples of tiger fathers and dogs. To be my Lin Ruhai's son-in-law, just if he doesn't grow crooked, he can't do it, and Sister Yu is still young and not in a hurry, so I think it's better to let this matter go first. ”
In Lin Jin's impression, Daiyu and Baoyu are very compatible in all aspects.
Regarding this aspect, Sister Feng also said in public in the book: "You have been a daughter-in-law to our family, are you still indebted?" Is the character unworthy? Is the door worthy? Is the foundation of the furniture worthy? …… That little bit of insult to you? ”
But here in Lin Ruhai, Baoyu is not worthy of Daiyu, what's going on? Lin Jin was a little confused, but after thinking about it, she suddenly understood.
At this time, Daiyu's parents are complete, and they are not the orphan girl who lost her dignity when she talked to Sister Feng, except for the Jia family, her maternal grandfather, who had no support.
And although it is said that the grade of the Beijing official is naturally half a level higher than that of the officials who are released, it can't stand Jia Zheng Since he came out, his official position in the Ministry of Industry for so many years has only changed from a chief to a foreigner, and he has only been promoted by half a level.
It's just that he was promoted this time not because he did a good job, but entirely because his seniority in the Ministry of Industry was too long, and his colleagues and even subordinates were higher than his rank in the past, so the chief looked at his seniority, plus he received a generous gift from Jia Fu every year, raised his hand, and promoted him.
Compared with Jia Zheng, who has been almost in place, Lin Ruhai, who has been promoted, not only has a good official career, but also is in the heart of the emperor, so if there is no accident, if he continues in this form, his official will continue to rise.
In itself, as the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Daiyu's wedding market is bright. To put it mildly, when Daiyu grows up, if the royal family has a suitable prince, she will even do it as a princess.
In this case, if you let Lin Ruhai marry his daughter to his father, he is just a middle- and low-level official, and he can't share much property, if this candidate is not closely related to Jia Min, it is estimated that Lin Ruhai can say something unpleasant, because the conditions of the two families are really a bit different, although it is not like a toad eating swan meat, but in Lin Ruhai's opinion, it is also a bit whimsical.
Jia Min didn't know this, but she felt that Daiyu was not in good health, and although Lin Jin was a son of the Lin family, she was separated from Daiyu by a layer, and she might not be able to be a backer for Daiyu in the future.
However, at present, she just said this, and her thoughts were not firm, and when she saw Lin Ruhai's opposition, she did not insist on her own opinion.
has been married for many years, why did Jia Min propose to marry Daiyu back to her parents' family, what did she think, although Lin Ruhai couldn't say that he could guess ten out of ten, but he could also guess seven, seven, eight or eight.
He sighed and said, "I know that the reason why you came up with the idea of marrying Sister Yu back to her parents' family is that you feel that Brother Jin is not her own brother, and you are worried that he will not be able to rely on her."
You can rest assured, Brother Sumire is a good boy, he is by no means a ruthless and unrighteous person, he usually plays well with Sister Yu, the two get along with each other modestly and gently, and the relationship is also very good. He, who is an older brother, will never ignore his sister.
If you are still not at ease, I will take him to the upper room and hand it over to you to raise, not only can I further cultivate the relationship between their brothers and sisters, but also receive the grace of your nurturing, if he ignores Sister Yu in the future, such an ungrateful person will inevitably be spurned by Shilin, and he will not be able to gain a foothold in the officialdom. What do you think? ”
Lin Jin was stupid, she didn't expect Lin Ruhai to give her to Jia Min to raise, but before she could tell Jia Min, the main master, she told Yang Wan first, what kind of fairy thinking is he?
