Chapter 15 The Red Chamber (15)
&1t;script>Red Building 15
Lin Yutong listened to her brother's explanation and smiled a little on her lips.
It was when the siblings were still living in the temple. The younger brother had a fever, but others were awake and could not take out the medicine in the space. The water could only strengthen the body, but it would not be effective to reduce the fever immediately. At that time, he was confused and was afraid that he would burn his brain. He rushed to the city to find a doctor to get medicine. The few silver on his body wanted to use medicine, but the coachman refused to pay on credit. Lin Yutong was anxious and held a kitchen knife on his neck to intimidate the other party if he dared not to go, and he would die at his house. The other party was not a bad person, and he had never seen such a life-deserving person. Then he took her to the city. Later, after earning the money, he gave her two taels of taels at the first time. It was ten times more rewarded.
However, after this incident, the siblings moved to the village and no one dared to bully them anymore.
I am really afraid of being stunned, and I am afraid of being desperate. Perhaps in the eyes of most people, I am the one who wants to be desperate.
Such a fierce reputation can't be hidden.
Compared with the inappropriate situation of Lin Meimei in the Jia family, it is really a rebellious person to be like this among ladies.
So how would his cheap father Lin Ruhai view this issue and how would he want to settle for such a self? Lin Yutong is still a little curious.
In small families, there are many women who show up in public. They are all forced by life!
But after a few years, how many people will understand your own life? Will this also become an excuse for others to criticize you?
Lin Yutong looked at Lin Daiyu. After all, this was just a girl who was in her teenage years old, lost her mother, left her father, and lived in other people's houses and was unable to be free. Now that she is back, if she still feels that life is not easy because she is in the Lin family, then it is her own fault.
It seems that my requirements for the little girl are a bit too strict. When they live under the same roof, how can they not communicate?
Try it!
When the carriage left again, Lin Yutong stuffed the sour plums into her mouth and tried to talk to Lin Meimei.
Weather, food, clothes, and decorations are all relatively safe topics and will not touch sensitive nerves.
Lin Yutong smiled and said, "I heard that it is very cold in the north. My sister has lived in the capital for a few years. What do you think?"
Sister Lin looked at Lin Yutong and could feel the kindness that was dissipating from the elder sister. She pursed her lips and smiled: "Isn't it cold? There are long ice skates outside the house. I can't leave the house at any time."
"My father will return to the capital sooner or later. The house in the capital must be cleaned up early. I think it's just something else. This is the dragon and the kang are the most important thing." Lin Yutong said with some emotion: "Now in Gusu, Yangzhou, I am holding the stove and unwilling to go out. When I arrive in the capital, I will suffer."
Sister Lin glanced at Lin Yutong: "Sister is a worrying person."
Lin Yutong almost choked. Fortunately, she knew that this girl really had no special meaning. She smiled helplessly and said, "Brother Yang and you are both unable to get out of the book, and their father is busy. Who can I count on you?"
Lin Daiyu's smile became much more sincere at this time. She put her and her brother together. It seemed that her sister didn't dislike her. Her eyebrows and eyes were stretched out as she smiled.
Lin Yutong felt that she had a little clue about the child's temper. She then smiled and said, "I heard from my father that you are the most spiritual in your study. Brother Yang is not as good as you in this regard. My father is even more disappointed, just knowing a few words, not just blindly. As for your poems and lyrics, I will tell you in advance, and don't come to me to recite poems and essays. If there is an account book, I will be fine and can calculate any amount."
Lin Daiyu giggled: "Sister has such a temperament, but someone will definitely get along with her."
Lin Yutong raised her eyebrows: "There are still ordinary people like me, but I am not a good person."
"Feng Lazi is the sister-in-law of Brother Lian's second brother." Lin Daiyu explained.
"Everyone says that this grandma is a hero in the pile of powder. Don't gild your sister's face." Lin Yutong laughed, "I know her reputation."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "This sister-in-law is a first-class capable person. In this world, there must be one thing that people have and others do not have in order to gain a foothold. My sister's abilities can live well wherever she goes."
Lin Yutong looked at Lin Daiyu with a little surprised look. It is said that this girl has a "more mind than doing things". Now it seems that she is a very knowledgeable person.
The two sisters occasionally exchanged views, chatting and laughing along the way, but they were all in peace.
When he arrived in Gusu, Lin Ruhai had a smile on his face. He had already heard the laughter of the sisters. This was what he had been looking forward to. As long as a few children get along well and help each other, he would have nothing to worry about.
The old house in Suzhou had already been beaten and cleaned up first. The family had settled the house, and Lin Ruhai took Lin Yuyang to visit the clan leader's house. It should be for the sake of the siblings entering the family tree.
Although there are not many members of the Lin family, they are far from being declining. Lin Ruhai is the only official in the Lin family clan now. Naturally, the clan attaches great importance to it. When Lin Ruhai brought his son with him, not only the clan leader, but also the clan elders were all present. It was extremely grand.
When the Lin family saw Lin Yuyang's appearance, they had no questions. As similar to Lin Ruhai, there were no such coincidences.
There is naturally no obstacle to entering the genealogy. But when you arrive at Lin Yutong, you will have trouble.
"The girl's family is in a state of public appearance outside, which is hampered by the reputation of the Lin family. It would be better to remember it in other rooms of the Lin family, so that there will be fewer people to pay attention to it. If you are fostered as an adopted daughter, you will have no gossip. If you are not a high-ranking family, you will not be a concubine's daughter." The old patriarch said this.
Before Lin Ruhai could speak, Lin Yuyang stood up. What a bullshit reason? Without my sister showing up, I would have starved to death and died of illness. Now I have to talk about these things with him. Is the genealogy of the Lin family so rare? If I don’t ask my sister to join, I will not join. I don’t believe it. With my own efforts, I will not find a marriage that can be found in the future. Even if I can’t find it, I will raise my sister. If my sister can support him, he should be the only one who should support his sister.
Thinking of this, his eyes turned red. His fists were clenched, and he wished he could turn around and leave.
Lin Ruhai knew that something was going to be bad when he saw his son. Before Lin Yuyang said rudely, he hurriedly said, "The patriarch is too worried. I know what Yutong is doing. This matter cannot be hidden just by wanting to be hidden. Anyone who wants to know can know it. I have nothing to hide. Over the years, the two children have suffered grievances. This is my dereliction of duty as a father. Now, with me, as a father, if I can't protect my daughter, I'll just hit him to death. Moreover, I don't think that Yutong's affairs are worth criticizing.
I don't like that picky family either. I don't believe that there are those who are bright and bright in their eyes and know that this child is not easy. The Lin family is a Shuxiang family, but looking for marriage may not necessarily have to find Shuxiang family. I marry a woman from Wuxun family as a wife. In the future, I will also find Yutong a military general. As long as he has good character, has the ability, and his family is simple, and there are not many particular families. With the support of me and his brother, she is also a very capable person. Who dares to underestimate her? Life will be good."
After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, seeing that his son's expression relaxed, he felt a little calmer. Seeing that the clan leader was still hesitating, he simply said, "I have already thought about it and add another 500 acres of sacrifice to the clan. The children of the clan will study for the imperial examination. If there is a good student, I will fund it." Anyway, my son doesn't even have an arm. The so-called "one tree can't make a forest" was originally what he planned to do. Now he took this opportunity to say it, and it can be said that he can kill multiple goals in one fell swoop.
Before the old patriarch could speak, the clan elders agreed. Where can I find this good thing? If you have no reputation, your father and brother don’t care, what do they care about? In this world, it’s so difficult to support a scholar! Not to mention the farmer households, even small landlords, they can’t save surplus grain.
Everyone agreed. The old patriarch also has children and grandchildren, so how could he be implicated by the children and grandchildren for this? He was originally doing it for Lin Ruhai's good, but he didn't want to do this good to the other party. So he took advantage of the situation.
In this way, the names of the siblings settled down on the Lin family genealogy.
The father and son did not tell Lin Yutong about this, but they didn't say it, butler Lin would not hide it from it. He felt that there was still some rift between the master and the eldest girl. The master's current approach is somewhat helpful to the restoration of the relationship between the father and daughter.
Lin Yutong's mood is really a bit complicated. In this strange world, it is actually not bad to maintain one more person. For marriage, it is really not a burden for her. If you have the right one, you will marry, and if you don't have the right one, you will get over it.
But if this involves the family, Lin Yutong thinks it is better to be cautious and take it seriously.
Zijuan heard from the several mothers of the Jiaomen that Lin Ruhai was very protective of Lin Yutong, so she came back and said to Lin Daiyu. "The big girl is also pitiful. But my words made sense that day. Getting along like this... it is a bit hindered from the girl's reputation."
"Stop the sound!" Lin Daiyu's face turned red with anger, "It's fine if others talk nonsense, but you can follow me. People in this world only see reputation. Can't they starve to death for the sake of reputation? People in the world are confused, I am not confused! Don't say these stupid words again."
Zijuan's face turned red. This was the first time she had encountered Lin Daiyu's words and harsh words.
