The Red Chamber: Daiyu's eldest sister is not easy to be

Chapter 4 The Father-Daughter Transaction
Because of the funeral, she stopped going out after arriving at her hometown in Gusu. Everything was arranged by Butler Lin, including meeting the patriarch and choosing a grave.

The Liu family is a concubine, and according to the rules, they can't be buried in the ancestral grave, so Lin Butler chose a place not far from the Lin family's ancestral grave, which is a place of good geomantic omen. fate.

Lin Jiusi couldn't say anything about it. The society is like this, and it's useless for her to have an opinion.

After Mrs. Liu was buried, Housekeeper Lin's affairs were considered to be over. After explaining a few words to her, he returned with two cronies.

After Steward Lin left, she built a thatched hut next to Liu's grave to observe her filial piety there, but after about a year, Lin Ruhai sent someone to take her back to the Lin family on the grounds that she was seriously ill.

After so long, in fact, she can't remember much of the book The Red Chamber, but she probably guessed something. At this time, Lin Ruhai should not be sick, but those in power want his life.

If Lin Ruhai can't hold it anymore, the Jia family will definitely not let go of this opportunity. Her going back this time must be related to the matter of going to Beijing, but she is not Lin Daiyu. She had already sent puppets to Beijing Investigate the news, and now we have all the evidence.

Sure enough, the Lin Ruhai he saw back then was really poisoned to the bone marrow. His body was considered normal back then, but now he is not only skinny, his face is pale and blue, and even the color of his lips has changed, faintly purple.

Although the poisoning has been deep, she can still save it with her ability, but she has to listen to his arrangement first.

"Looking at Father's face, he is so anxious to call his daughter back, I'm afraid he has something to explain!"

Seeing that she had guessed it, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "My son is really smart. As a father, I really have something to explain to you. I hope you can go to Beijing to Jia's house. First, the old lady sent a letter, and second, I want to send you a letter." Your sister Daiyu entrusted it to you, I wonder if you can agree?"

When Jiusi heard the words, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows and asked: "If I guessed correctly, the old lady would have sent you a letter a long time ago. Why did you just remember to send me there now?"

"Yes, just when they were about to pick you up, the Jia family sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that Daiyu was a little lonely in Jia's mansion, and wanted you to accompany her, but at that time you were too murderous, I was afraid of taking it rashly." Sending you away would cause a big mess, so I wanted to wait until you finished three years of filial piety, but now that I am a father, I am afraid that I can't wait that long, so I have to bring you back in advance."

It’s okay if he didn’t say that, but when he said Jiusi, he felt a little upset. It depends on when I became murderous in my feelings, it’s really speechless.

Because of her unhappiness, she no longer hesitated when she spoke: "Oh, you think I have murderous intentions, but you all don't have serious murderous intentions, but you were all murdered by Jia's family and there is no good end." He took out a stack of documents and threw them on the table.

"Let's see, this is what your good Yue's family did. Whether it's your foster daughter in their family, or the things you donated through their hands, there is nothing wrong with it."

Seeing that there was something in her words, Lin Ruhai picked up the stack of papers and began to read.

The first half is the gift list that Jia Min sent to Jia's family over the years. There are things he secretly offered, and some things that Jia Min subsidized his mother's family. What he didn't expect was that some of them were gifts from the emperor. The Holy Majesty found out, and he was going to be beheaded.

In addition, there were more than half of the things he wanted to offer, but most of them were withheld by the Jia family without permission. No wonder the Holy One and the Supreme Emperor couldn't tolerate him, and wanted to trap him to death in Yangzhou.

Turning back, it was all about Daiyu's arrival in Beijing. After she disembarked, the people who went to pick her up were a few rough envoys and no serious masters. They entered through the corner gate where servants go, but the Xue family When a merchant went, they opened the door wide.

And after entering the mansion, it's even more absurd. During the filial piety period of the aunts and concubines in the mansion, it's okay if there is no one in plain clothes, and they are all dressed up in red and willow green. It doesn't take into account that Daiyu is in the filial piety period, and what else Ginseng Yangrong pills are made from ginseng, and Daiyu went to beat the autumn wind......

But the most unacceptable thing to him was that Daiyu lived with Jia Baoyu in the old lady's wardrobe.

Before Daiyu came to Beijing, he had already discussed with the old lady. Considering that it was inconvenient for Daiyu to go there during the filial piety period, he wanted to arrange a separate courtyard for her to keep her filial piety at ease. He even gave an extra tens of thousands of taels of silver for this. After the ticket passed, I was afraid that Daiyu would trouble the Jia family. In the end, the old lady didn't mention a word, and she made such arrangements to ruin his daughter's reputation, which really pissed him off.

Thinking about it, a burst of blood surged, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Seeing this, Jiusi was afraid that he would be really mad, so he quickly stuffed a medicine into his mouth, and said while patting him on the back: "What are you doing? If you are angry, just spit it out at Jia's house. I'm so pissed off, people can't say that I, an unfilial girl, did it!"

After a while, Lin Ruhai finally recovered.

He waved his hand to signal Jiusi that he was fine, and then he said his plan weakly: "This matter is because of my father's inconsiderateness, which hurt your sister, but your sister Daiyu can't really be ruined in that Jia's house. Seeing that Daiyu is still young, there is still room for maneuver in this matter. My father wants you to come to Beijing to bring her back now. how far."

"It's okay to let me go to Beijing, but what benefits do I have?
Just because I'm your daughter, I have to help you save your other daughter. Don't forget that her mother has a vendetta against me. "

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai pointed to the two boxes on the table: "In the two boxes, one contains the land deeds of the farm and other property deeds, including the deeds of the person in charge and other servants.

One is the remaining money of the Lin family. I can hand over all of these to you, how about it? "

Jiu Si opened the two boxes and looked at them. After confirming that what he said was true, he couldn't help asking curiously: "If I didn't ask you for benefits, would you still give these things to me?"

"Yes, because these things were originally prepared for your sisters, but your sister is weak and can't keep these things, so I want you to keep them. When she gets married in the future, just give her some dowry.

But now that you need to keep her, there's no harm in giving it to you, it's better than leaving it in the hands of the Jia family. "

"Why don't you just send someone to bring her back, isn't it more convenient?"

"Father is already trapped in Yangzhou, you can no longer drag your sisters in to wait to die together, you can set off for the capital in a few days!"

Jiusi wanted to say something more, but he looked tired, so he nodded "yes".

In fact, according to her idea, instead of giving these things to her, it would be better to offer them directly to the emperor to fill the treasury. This will not only solve the problem of the emptiness of the treasury, but also show his loyalty, and maybe save his life.

　Let me briefly talk about the reason why Liu’s burial site was chosen. In ancient times, concubines were slaves. Big burials are either very favored and the hostess can do it regardless of the face of his wife, or the children have great fortune, so being a concubine is not as good as imagined, which is why the hostess did not argue against it.
