Because of gender and education, as well as three views, Lin Jin keeps a certain distance from other men of her age, and she is a slow temperament, so, since she was a child, she has no better companions and no friends. But this time, Lin Jin was normal, and Fan Pu was very close, and they often chatted together.

In this regard, Aunt Lin felt a little strange, and when Lin Jin came to greet her, she asked a little puzzled: "Sumire, after I came into contact with this Fan Gongzi, I think he is a very ordinary child of a family in all aspects. Before, I don't know how many teenagers you met who were better than him, and I didn't see your attitude so enthusiastic, what are you thinking? ”

Yang Wan, who was coaxing Brother Lin, interjected and came in: "Yes, yes, they are asking for us, it stands to reason that they are holding on to us, but you are doing the opposite, what are you thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking about choosing a son-in-law for my sister." Lin Jin slowly explained: "Although Fan Pu is average, the Fan family he was born in is a big family, and since the Northern Song Dynasty Wenzheng Gong, a family rule has been handed down: a man can only take a concubine when he is over forty years old and has no children." This rule is not fictitious, so far, it has been implemented for more than 600 years, and the Fan family is not like some families, although they also shout not to accept concubines, but they do not delay their sleep at all, so I think that although Fan Pu is not suitable for my sister, the Fan family is a suitable family for marriage. Therefore, in the recent past, I have been asking Fan Pu about the situation of the other descendants of the Fan family. ”

"I wish to have one heart, and the white head will not be separated" This sentence has been a woman's appeal in marriage since ancient times. In a world where concubinage is not only legal, but also considered normal, it is even more difficult. Therefore, there will be "easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover." "One said.

Lin Jin couldn't help Daiyu find a "lover", but it was okay to try to help her find a husband who respected her and respected her as a wife. She didn't mean to split the official match, but she always felt that in the original history, Daiyu would pin her feelings on Baoyu, and she may have been in that situation at that time, except for marrying Baoyu, there was no other choice at all.

In her opinion, "I like you, so I want to be with you; and I am with you, and therefore like you; It's not the same. "Therefore, if Daiyu still likes Baoyu like in the original history, then if Mrs. Wang agrees, she will not break them up, but she will not let Daiyu only hang herself on the tree of Baoyu, so the Fan family is in her eyes.

Hearing her words, Yang Wan hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't worry about this, before the old man died, he entrusted Sister Dai to her grandfather's family, what does this mean, don't you understand?" ”

Jia Min once mentioned to Lin Ruhai about marrying Daiyu back to her parents' family, but Lin Jin knew that Lin Ruhai refused at that time; And before Jia Min died, this topic was not mentioned; Lin Ruhai sent Daiyu to Jia's family, but simply let Daiyu, who lost her mother, accept Jia's mother's teachings, and did not have the idea of marrying Daiyu to Jia's family.

Therefore, hearing Yang Wan say this, Lin Jin said with doubts: "Mother, it should be that you think too much, right?" My father didn't mean that. ”

After a pause, she explained, "If my father had this thought, he would not have told me. After all, after his death, this family depends on me to support it. Before he died, my father told me so many things, he took out his sister's dowry alone, put it on the list, and asked someone to testify, if my father had already had an idea about my sister, how could he not tell me? ”

Before Yang Wan could speak, she rushed to the front and said: "If you are talking about telling my sister to continue to live in the Jia family after her father arrived in the capital before her father passed away, I don't think it means that my father has the idea of marrying my sister to the Jia family."

The reason why her father still let her sister live in her grandfather's house is because the reason why the Jia family took her sister over the house was that her sister was a widowed eldest daughter and lacked teaching.

When his father was alive, this reason was so strong that even he couldn't refute it, and he had to send his sister to the point where he had to send his sister to the Jia family, not to mention, after his father's death, the lintel of the Lin family fell, and the family of the family who discussed with his sister was also lowered. ”

"Humph!" Yang Wan sneered and said, "You are thinking about your father's benefit, why don't you say that he let Sister Dai continue to stay in the Jia family, is he worried about us?" ”

Her hand ran around several people in the room, and she said with a little resentment: "In his eyes, Sister Dai is the daughter of the first wife, and me, my mother, and the two of you brothers born to me are separated from the belly.

At the beginning, after the first wife passed away, when Sister Dai was at home, he was always worried that I would wronged Sister Dai, so he sent Sister Dai away, in addition to worrying that Sister Dai lacked teaching as the eldest daughter of a widow and could not say a good family, but also because he was afraid that I would wronged his daughter in a place where he couldn't see it, so he was busy sending people away.

When he was alive, he was so wary of us, not to mention that he was dead, and he didn't worry about us, so it was natural to send Sister Dai to someone he felt could take good care of her, after all, if we really wronged Sister Dai, he couldn't support her anymore. ”

"What nonsense is going on here." Aunt Lin scolded her daughter and said, "Brother Sumire, your father arranged for Sister Dai to live in Jia's house, and there are reasons that you told your mother in it, but I think he may have other thoughts." ”

Lin Jin asked rhetorically, "Something else?" After thinking for a while, he asked in disbelief, "Let the people of the Jia family see that my sister is good, and let my sister and the people of the Jia family cultivate a relationship, so as to pave the way for my sister to marry into the Jia family?" ”

Aunt Lin nodded and said, "I think your father does mean that." Because he should have wanted to marry Sister Dai to the Jia family at the beginning, but he didn't tell you because he had been hesitating. When you were busy with things outside, your father called Yuou, Snow Goose, Wang, Gao, and Tang who followed Sister Dai to Jia's house and asked for a long time.

Although I don't know what they all said to Hai Ge'er, I know that it was their words that made Hai Ge'er change his mind and become hesitant, and he couldn't make up his mind until he died. ”

Lin Ruhai, as a man, because he didn't know the affairs of the back house, didn't know, a woman in this era got married, in addition to seeing her husband, she also had to see her mother-in-law, but he at least knew that Daiyu was in the Jia family, when she was still a guest, and the Jia family had always asked to take her over, she didn't have a very good life, and she suffered some embarrassment and darkness, which showed that the Jia family was not very good to her, so if she really married into the Jia family, life might not be easy, so she was not very satisfied with the Jia family, but because she was about to die, There was no time to pick, so Lin Ruhai, who chose the Jia family, hesitated.

Lin Jin is good to Daiyu, Lin Ruhai sees it in her eyes, and knows that she is not acting for him, her feelings for Daiyu are real. The reason why Lin Ruhai, before he died, wanted to set Daiyu's marriage and chose the Jia family was indeed because he was not worried about Daiyu, afraid that she would not have a good life after he went. But after knowing that the Jia family he originally fancied was unreliable, he felt that he should leave this matter to Lin Jin to handle? But he was afraid that Lin Jin was young, didn't know the world, and didn't understand marriage, so he mismatched Daiyu for marriage.

But Lin Ruhai was unwilling to give Daiyu to the Jia family, so in Daiyu's marriage, he made difficulties, hesitated and hesitated, and failed to make up his mind until he died.
