Chapter 425: Lin Ruhai's thoughts
Daiyu was talking to Xiaohong in the house, and the attackers outside had already placed all the subordinates, because she and Qingwen were big girls, and they followed Daiyu all the year round, so the maids in the courtyard did not dare to disagree. In addition, Qingwen is very powerful, and those eyes are glaring, even if there is that thorn, she doesn't dare to cause trouble as soon as the girl comes back.
Soon, Jia Lian and Lin Ruhai came back from the yamen, and on the way, they went to the restaurant and ordered a table to come back. Before anyone arrived, the table was delivered. As soon as he went home and changed into his regular clothes, he first went to ask Mrs. Xing for peace, and then asked someone to invite Wang Xifeng and Daiyu to come out to pick them up and wash the dust.
Daiyu hadn't seen her father for a few years, but now when she saw him again, she found that he was much older than before, and she couldn't help but feel sad, and almost shed tears during the banquet.
After the banquet, Lin Ruhai accompanied Mrs. Xing to talk for a while, and then called Daiyu to the study, and the father and daughter chatted about the old days.
In the words, Lin Ruhai learned that Daiyu was doing well in the Jia family, and her sister-in-law not only regarded Daiyu as her own, but also brought everyone in the family to Daiyu with great respect, and his heart suddenly became steady.
"Tell me, what kind of person is your aunt?" Lin Ruhai asked curiously.
Daiyu described the aunt in her heart, and the more she talked, the more excited she became, and when she said that, she simply stood up and paced back and forth in the room, pacing and talking.
When Lin Ruhai saw her daughter's scene, she sighed in her heart. Although the biological father is important, the daughter does need a woman to raise her, and it is no wonder that the grandmother will take her daughter over as soon as her wife dies.
Besides, this sister-in-law is really a strange woman, from the moment she entered the door, Lin Ruhai felt that this woman was extraordinary. can break the ridiculous and nonsensical Jia Yu hard, and make Jiafu up and down all obedient to her, even his wife Jia Min may not be able to do it.
On second thought, that person is not only good at managing the house, but also a good hand at financial management. A commoner woman, marrying into a wealthy family, can also cover the sky with one hand, such a means, her daughter can learn a little bit and a half, and she will be used for life.
Xing Shuang didn't know it far away in the capital, and his single-mindedness to convince people with virtue had also become a means in Lin Ruhai's eyes, but in this way, he was also crooked. Because Lin Ruhai is worried about nothing else, but that her daughter is a weak woman, and without her mother's upbringing, will she be bullied in the future.
Daiyu talked for a long time, until her mouth was dry, she stopped, took a sip of tea and said to her father: "Aunt is very far-sighted, and the act of sending the second brother to England is extremely smart in the eyes of her daughter. ”
Lin Ruhai retracted his thoughts, smiled and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
Daiyu looked at her father and said, "Although women don't talk about state affairs, I occasionally heard my aunt say that although the Jia family is favored, they must not be overly arrogant." It is enough for one of this family to be an official in the court and a saint. She said that she does not ask for a family to soar and become prosperous in the world, but to ask for the family incense to continue and the water to flow for a long time.
"Now that the eldest brother is from Tanhua and the choice of the title, there is no more second brother to compete with. One is to avoid family infighting, and the other is to avoid outsiders' eyes.
"Yes, except for the eldest brother, the rest of the brothers and aunts of the Tong family are all cultivated according to their own preferences, and they are not partial to one or the other. The second brother went to England to study foreign science. This does not conflict with the big brother, but also complements each other.
"And my second sister-in-law also went to a women's university in England, and now she has returned from her studies and has her own business of buying and selling, and she is famous in the capital."
Lin Ruhai was surprised: "What's the matter, even the phoenix girl was sent out?" ”
Daiyu nodded and smiled: "When I just went, the second brother and sister-in-law had already gone to England. At that time, the whole family said that they were in the Gusu area, managing the salt merchant's business for their cousin. In fact, at that time, both of them had already enrolled in England. ”
Lin Ruhai saw her daughter's face full of envy, her heart moved slightly, and she couldn't help asking, "Do you want to go?" ”
Daiyu was stunned, and said to her father: "My daughter has been away from home for many years, and it is disrespectful not to be filial to her father. Now that the family is here, please don't think about it too much. ”
Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and laughed: "I don't think much about my father, but I don't want to raise you as an ordinary woman for my father." You were started as a father at a young age, and you began to learn to read and write at the age of five. Do you know why? ”
Daiyu shook her head and looked at her father ignorantly.
Lin Ruhai said again: "My Lin family is a scholar, but the incense has been cut off here. But I never regret it, and I don't feel ashamed of my ancestors. Your mother is very intelligent, and in my eyes she is the best woman in the world. And you, like her, are not left behind.
"My daughter Lin Ruhai is naturally better and more different than others. It is because I myself enlighten you, that you may be as talented as your mother, or even better than her.
"Now that I see it, this Chinese culture is difficult for you. Poetry is learned, you are already superior, and your talent is outstanding. But the horizon is narrower, and it seems that it is not as good as the girl raised by your aunt. ”
Daiyu was a little unconvinced at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she nodded and said: "What my father said is right, in terms of heart, I am not as good as the second sister, and in terms of vision, I am not as good as the third sister."
"When the second brother came back this year, my aunt also said that she would send the second sister to England. If it weren't for the second brother's stubble, my aunt would have sent the second sister on the boat. ”
Lin Ruhai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Your aunt wants to send the girl out?" This is sent out, and it is also a women's university? ”
Daiyu shook her head and said, "I also heard what the third sister said, and I am not convinced." It's just that she said that the second brother came back that day and was punished by her aunt. said that he was made an honorary nobleman by the Queen of England, and because of his great influence, he had to return to China early, and the second sister was left with no one to take care of. ”
Lin Ruhai thought about it, his daughter didn't know, he just asked Jia Lian tomorrow? Besides, it's too appalling to say it now, so it's better to ask someone with experience.
So Lin Ruhai diverted the topic, said a few more words, and asked her daughter to go back to the room to rest first.
Daiyu returned to the room, and the attacker hurriedly greeted her and asked, "How is the master?" ”
Daiyu didn't answer for a while when she had something in her heart, but Xiaohong behind her replied: "The master looks good, I talked to the girl at night, and I didn't even cough." It's not at all like what my sister said, seriously ill and bedridden. ”
The attacker wondered: "Could it be that the messenger deceived people?" ”
Daiyu came back to her senses and said to the attacker with a smile: "She doesn't dare to deceive people, she is my mother's dowry, and she is also the old man of the Jia family, dare to deceive the old lady, forgive her for not having the courage to do so." ”
