Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 79
媵, the pronunciation is the same as hard, which means to send.

So concubine, in fact, is to marry one and get one free.

The one she married was the regular wife.

The one I gave was naturally the concubine.

Generally speaking, concubines are married with their regular wives.

It is part of the dowry.

but.

Due to the small size of the Feng family, Feng Yibo is the only one.

An heir is urgently needed.

But Daiyu is still young, and she will have to wait another four or five years before she can become a hairpin.

Li Mengshi and Lin Ruhai agreed to let Miaoyu come in first as a concubine.

This is considered a special event, and everything is passed on to the heirs.

"Speaking of which, this child is also a hard-fated one."

Mentioning Miaoyu, Lin Ruhai seemed to have a lot of emotion.

"I owe her a lot these years, and Daiyu doesn't know that there is this sister-in-law, but she owes her a lot too."

"Miss Lin doesn't know?"

Seeing Feng Yibo's puzzled expression.

In addition, Lin Ruhai originally wanted to explain Miaoyu's matter today.

Hearing the words, he spoke directly.

"Miaoyu's mother was a concubine I bought when I was studying in Jinling. Later, when I went back to my hometown with me, she became pregnant and stayed in Gusu."

It is strange that Miaoyu is not from Jinling, but one of the twelve beauties of Jinling.

Could it be because of her mother?
Feng Yibo couldn't help thinking about it.

The twelve beauties of Jinling are more or less related to Jinling.

Just like Baochai was originally the daughter of the Xue family in Jinling.

Daiyu was born to the daughter of the Jia family in Jinling.

Not to mention Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, Qin Keqing, etc.

Like Baochai, they were all born in Jinling.

"Later, I married your aunt and had Daiyu."

Lin Ruhai may have thought of his wedding and Daiyu's birth.

A smile could not help appearing on his face.

But immediately turned to mourning.

"But because Daiyu has been sick since she was a child, I bought many substitutes for her, but they were useless."

Great Wei has this custom.

No matter Buddhist temples or gymnasiums, they all accept doubles bought by rich people.

First, it will increase the population of the temple, and second, there will be a lot of rewards and continuous incense money.

"At that time, someone suggested that it would be better to let her enter the Buddhist sect, but your aunt is reluctant."

Didn't Daiyu grow up held in the palm of her hand?

After saying this, Feng Yibo felt even more pity for her.

Originally, he grew up under the love of his parents, but now he lives under the fence.

However, Jia Min should have inherited Shi Taijun's doting on children.

Come to think of it, Daiyu didn't really suffer with Shi Taijun.

"Later, someone suggested that letting a sister act as her substitute could be regarded as entering Buddhism for her."

"I just remembered that there is also a daughter named Miaoyu. It just so happened that her mother died again and there was no one to take care of her. She originally wanted to take it over and raise her."

Remember having a daughter?

Just died?

Hearing these two sentences, Feng Yibo felt terrified.

You know, the Lin family was originally sparsely populated.

Just these three melons and two dates, how could Lin Ruhai forget?
It is enough to see his ruthlessness towards the concubine.

The concubine who gave birth to his daughter died, and he said "it's just right".

It is enough to show his fickle affection for the concubine's room.

"So I wrote a letter, arranging for her to follow my sister in the family temple next to the ancestral grave."

"With my sister taking care of me, I won't lose her."

The ancestral grave of the Lin family is in Xuanmu Mountain in Gusu, which has excellent Fengshui.

There is also a family temple at the foot of Xuantou Mountain to suppress Fengshui, named Panxiang Temple.

The host inside is Lin Ruhai's concubine sister.

Because her husband died and she had no children.

She believed in Buddhism, so she donated some money and became a monk in a temple.

This is similar to donating officials.

After Lin Ruhai found out, he sent someone to invite her back home to practice in the temple.

The Lin family supports all the food and food, in order to show the affection of siblings.

He is indifferent to his concubine daughter, but has the utmost affection for his concubine sister.

He was extremely indifferent to his concubine's room, and said "just right" when he died.

He is unswerving to his main wife until death, and he is unwilling to continue.

The complexity of human nature is vividly reflected in Lin Ruhai.

"When she was six years old, she entered Buddhism for Daiyu, and now she is 16 years old, and she is going to be a concubine for Daiyu again."

Speaking of this, Lin Ruhai rarely showed embarrassment, and sighed:
"Speaking of which, both Daiyu and I owe her a lot."

After a pause, he looked at Feng Yibo expectantly, and said:
"So, Yibo, don't treat her like an ordinary concubine, just wait!"

amount.

Why do you want me to make up for what you owe?
Although complaining in his heart, Feng Yibo naturally agreed.

After all, both daughters were given to him.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will not lose their sisters!"

Lin Ruhai nodded upon hearing the words, and emphasized:
"Although Miaoyu is a concubine, she has been reading poetry and books with my sister since she was a child."

Speaking of her sister, Lin Ruhai showed some pride.

"I dare say that with my sister's talent, Miaoyu is by no means inferior to other prostitutes, and most of them are even inferior to her."

"When I was young, it was my elder sister who taught me how to read and write. Only then can I have my success in the future."

Feng Yibo praised: "The Lin family is a scholarly family, and Yibo yearns for it."

Lin Ruhai didn't answer Feng Yibo's words, but just smiled slightly.

"It would be great if you came a few days earlier."

He shook his head and said again:

"I heard that there are Guanyin relics and Bayeux inscriptions in the capital of Chang'an, so I asked my sister to take her there."

"Originally, I planned that when she arrives in the capital, my brother-in-law will make the decision on my behalf and carry her into Feng's residence."

Having said that, he couldn't help but shook his head, looked at Feng Yibo, laughed and said:
"I didn't expect you to go back to Jiangnan just a few days after she left."

"It seems that my fate with her has not come yet."

Feng Yibo also laughed, and said again: "When I get rid of the Japanese pirates, we will see each other when we get back to the capital."

Lin Ruhai didn't praise Feng Yibo as he thought, but smiled and said:
"Just do what you can, even if there is no progress for a while, there will be no trouble."

Feng Yibo frowned suddenly: "What does uncle mean?"

"Just do what you want first, and you don't need to know too much about the rest."

The old god Lin Ruhai said something, then smiled and said:
"When you should know, someone will tell you."

"If no one tells you, it means you can do it."

Yun Shan mistyly clicked a few words, and then stopped mentioning it.

Unwillingly, Feng Yibo asked a few more questions.

"If uncle knows something, just mention a few more words."

"Otherwise, what kind of trouble has been caused, uncle will help me clean up the mess, won't he?"

Lin Ruhai couldn't help but smile wryly at what he said, so he had to mention a few more words.

"There are too many things involved in Jiangnan, and even up to the palace, it has something to do with me. You don't need to know too much."

"You just have to remember, do what you should do well, and when the time comes, you might be able to reap a great achievement."

Once Feng Yibo heard that the palace was involved, he couldn't ask any more questions.

He could only reluctantly nod his head.

Afterwards, Weng and son-in-law had dinner, and Feng Yibo stayed overnight.

Early the next morning, I boarded the official ship at the pier,
Go straight to Jinling.
