Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

wedge

"Sister Zijuan, bring my poetry book and the box here, and put them on the brazier."

Lin Daiyu, half leaning on the hospital bed, was as pale as snow, her breath was weak, and she looked drowsy.

"Girl, please stop working so hard and take a rest!" Zijuan at the side choked with tears in her eyes.

Lin Daiyu said weakly, "It doesn't matter. I will rest forever. I just trouble you."

Daiyu knew that she would not live long, and no one from the Jia family came to visit her.

When she opened her eyes, Zijuan was the only one there. She reported to Lady Jia several times, but no one paid any attention.

The lonely lamp and cold shadow, I want to be pure from the beginning and pure from the end,

Since you are an orphan, you should burn all traces of this world one by one!

Lin Daiyu trembled her hands and threw the manuscript of poems and handkerchief into the brazier beside the kang little by little.

"Miss, you can't do that..." Zijuan was still holding Lin Daiyu and couldn't free her hands.

I watched helplessly as the young lady's life's hard work was destroyed.

On the other side, in the Yihong Courtyard, Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai were getting married.

The sound of joy could be heard faintly through the layers of buildings.

Lin Daiyu leaned back and closed her eyes.

"I will not ascend to the Ninth Heaven in this life, nor will I enter the cycle of reincarnation."

There was a sigh from above the nine heavens, and beside the Three Lives Stone on the bank of the Western Spirit River, the Crimson Pearl Grass withered from then on.

……

In the early spring at the Lin Mansion in Suzhou, four-year-old Lin Daiyu stood on the couch.

He fiddled with the parrot on the stand with his fingers, "Green parrot! Tell me again, who am I?"

The parrot stood on the shelf, flapping its wings and shouting, "Lin Daiyu! Lin Daiyu!"

The girl raised her left arm and tugged at her light blue silk clothes, excitement flashing in her eyes.

I pulled my white bamboo-like hands apart one by one, but I still couldn't believe it!

Close your eyes, put your index finger in your mouth, and apply force with your upper and lower teeth?

"Ouch! It hurts...", he gritted his teeth, shook his hands, and jumped two feet high, all in one go.

It’s real, not a dream!

[A small town test-taker, died suddenly from overwork at the age of 996, a social animal! ] VS the daughter of a marquis.

[Even a fool would know that this is the galaxy's biggest prize! ]

Plop! She jumped off the couch.

"Xueyan! Mother Wang! Your young lady is awake."

Enter the drama in one second.

The parrot was placed on the shelf, and he was stunned on the spot. [Is he a fool this time? ]

Hearing the shout, a group of childish snow geese came in through the curtain.

"Miss!"

Seeing Daiyu standing on the ground, he shouted in surprise,

"Oh, young lady! Why did you come down here? The ground is cold. If the lady finds out, she will punish me again."

After saying that, she picked up the embroidered shoes from her feet, lowered her head and squatted down to help the young lady put on her shoes.

Daiyu scratched the sole of the shoe with her toes. It was soft and comfortable. There were a few blue bamboo leaves embroidered on the pink satin upper.

Not tacky!

I sniffed the snow goose bun and it was indeed scented with osmanthus.

She let the maid put a rouge-colored satin vest on her, feeling puzzled.

"Why is there only one maid?"

"Where's Mama Wang? Why are you alone?"

Xueyan was stunned for a moment, "Miss, do you think I didn't serve you well enough?"

"Miss, you don't dislike me, do you? Tell me what I didn't do well for you, and don't chase me away."

"My parents at home are counting on my monthly allowance!"

"What do you want? Do you want some water? Miss, are you hungry? I'll go get you some snacks." After saying that, she brought the tea and snacks like a gust of wind.

Lin Daiyu was speechless. "Did I say anything?" "I just asked you where your mother Wang went?"

Xueyan handed over a cup of tea, looked around, and said hesitantly, "Madam called her away. Madam didn't want to disturb the young lady."

Daiyu took the tea, took a sip, put it on the small table, and picked up a piece of cake. "What happened?"

Xueyan stammered, "Master Yongan fell off the rockery and was injured."

"Who is Young Master Yongan?" Daiyu said to herself.

Suddenly, an idea came to my mind, "Master Yongan! Could it be my brother who died at the age of three?"

Thinking of this, Daiyu could no longer eat and threw the snacks onto the plate.

He asked anxiously, "Is the young master okay?"

Xueyan shook her head and replied, "I don't know, they just said he was injured in a fall."

"Then what are we waiting for here? Come on, Xueyan, right now, I want to go and pay my respects to my mother."

[My mother is the legitimate daughter of a real Duke's mansion, a noble lady from an aristocratic family. I want to pay my respects to her in a formal manner.]

"Don't forget to bring the parrot with you. It will be my lucky fish from now on. The parrot will always be with me, and I will always be with the parrot. Remember that?"

When Xueyan heard this, she was frightened and knelt down in front of Daiyu.

"Miss, I am the one who said too much. Madam won't disturb you."

"Nonsense, you have to remember that you are my girl, understand?"

"If the lady can punish you, can't I punish you?"

"The more angry my wife is, the more she needs her daughter's guidance and comfort. This is my filial piety."

Daiyu angrily scolded Xueyan because the original book of Dream of Red Mansions said that she lost her three-year-old brother when she was four years old.

Jia Min, the mother who lost her son, was heartbroken and fell ill. After another year, she died of her illness.

Within a few years, her family was broken up and Lin Daiyu became a complete orphan.

So now Daiyu has a goal,

The first step is to save my brother.

The second step is to save the mother.

The third step is to save your father.

[In the end, I will never fall in love with that spoiled young man Jia Baoyu.]

[The saying of repaying tears, what is it like to repay a favor with a lifetime of tears. 】

[Let him wait. When I turn 100, I will give him two bowls of tears.]

Seeing that Daiyu was really angry, Xueyan dared not argue anymore. She got up and reached out to take down the parrot stand.

He led Daiyu through the corridor to Mrs. Jia's main hall.

Mrs. Jia, Jia Min, with her hair full of pearls and jade, and her demeanor graceful, sitting in the middle like a noble lady, her face frosty and full of anger.

The maids and old women were kneeling on the ground below, and two servants were being beaten with a stick with their mouths blocked.

As soon as he saw his daughter and Xueyan come in, he became furious.

"Who told the young lady that? Take the young lady back quickly. If you scare her, I will tear your mouths apart."

Xueyan was so scared that she stood at the door and dared not move.

Daiyu didn't care about Jia Min's questioning. What was she doing here? How could she be sent away by just one sentence?

[Anyway, I am a four-year-old child now, and it is my nature to act like a spoiled brat.]

"Mom! I missed you. I dreamed about you. I had a terrible dream."

Daiyu raised what she thought was the sweetest smile and jumped onto Jia Min.

"Mom!" He climbed into Jia Min's arms like a piece of candy.

"Mom! Don't chase me away. I'm grown up now. I can share your worries."

Daiyu's action shocked everyone in the hall and outside.

Even the one who was beating with the stick stopped and stared blankly at the classroom.

This really doesn't fit in with the Lin family's painting style.

Especially for Jia Min, who is very strict with herself, she attaches the most importance to her appearance.

There are rules for what hairstyle you wear and how you walk.

"Look at you, where are the manners I taught you?"

"Mom, when I saw you, didn't I forget myself because of missing you?"

"Mom! How is my brother? Is he seriously injured?"

Hearing his daughter's soft words, and out of concern for his brother, Jia Min's expression couldn't help but soften.

"It's nothing serious. I fell off the rockery and my head hit the grass, so I got a bump. Go take a look."

Alas, Jia Min couldn't help but sigh, thinking that it was in vain that she was so arrogant and married such a perfect husband, the third place in the imperial examination.

However, her health was not good and she had difficulty in having children. She was nearly thirty years old and had been pregnant several times, but failed to keep the baby.

The only ones left behind were his two children, whom he treated as treasures and would not dare to leave them for even a moment.

The two servants who followed him were hateful. They failed to protect their master and are unforgivable.

If you hit your head against a rock, just wait for your family to collect your body!

Thinking of this, Jia Min glared at the man who was hitting her with the stick again.

"Who told you to stop? Keep beating them. Beat them hard so they will remember this lesson."

At this moment, her vision suddenly went dark.

The parrot on the parrot stand flew past her eyes and landed on her shoulder.

Oh! Jia Min was so angry that her eyes were about to burn.

Not only are the children troublesome, but even the parrot is rebelling.

Just as I was about to shout, "Someone come, catch the parrot and kill it!"

A man's voice sounded in my ears.

[Sister, I have already made the arrangements. Today, I will make Yongan fall off the rockery.]
