Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Then she smiled gracefully and waved goodbye, as if she was talking to her most affectionate and loyal sister.

Lin Daiyu waved in surprise?

When did we become so familiar with each other?

On the contrary, Jia Zheng came and left in a hurry this time. I wonder what impact it will have on the Lin family?

Instead of taking the cousin from the Jia family away, he took the mother and daughter from the Shi family away.

Divorced! Is there really a successful divorce?

In the book Dream of the Red Chamber, Jia Yingchun was beaten to death by her family and returned to her parents' home to beg for mercy. Why did no one stand up to help her?

She was puzzled, and the book did not mention the mother and daughter of the historian.

Does that mean that in the original book, the mother and daughter of the Shi family never divorced and returned to Beijing?

Did they live a comfortable life in Yangzhou?

Jia Zheng was also bidding farewell to Lin Ruhai.

"Brother-in-law! Yangzhou is a place of wealth, but it is also not stable. I wonder if you have any good strategies to deal with it?"

Lin Ruhai stroked his chin gently, "Uncle, it's okay, I know what's going on. The muddier the water in Yangzhou, the safer we may be."

"If nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to meet again in Beijing in two years at most."

"We'll see each other again, take care, uncle!"

Oh, Jia Zheng heard this and thought, will we meet again? Could it be that my brother-in-law still has some hidden card?

This trip was completely unexpected. Instead of taking my sister's family with me, I brought back the mother and daughter of the Shi family.

I wonder how disappointed my mother will be, and how Baolinghou will be arranged?

Leaving a sigh, Jia Zheng set off back to Beijing.

……

"Second brother! Take care!" Jia Min shouted as she chased the carriage.

The wind blew off my hood, and the tears that welled up were blown by the wind, stinging my cheeks.

Jia Min felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

After this farewell, I don’t know when we will meet again!

What an unfilial daughter! Wait for me! Wait for me! ...

Jia Min's steps staggered and her voice was choked and hoarse.

……

Lin Ruhai supported his wife and looked into the distance in the direction of the capital.

The lake in my heart also began to surge.

Trump card?

Lin Ruhai thought, why do I need any trump card? With the ability of the Prince of Nan'an to stir up trouble, he can turn Yangzhou upside down.

Now he didn't even use the list given by the princess.

The situation is so chaotic now, it is not appropriate for him to get involved too much.

Now in Yangzhou, the salt merchants are biting the officials, and the officials are banning the salt merchants.

I thought that once the ban was passed, the salt merchants would behave themselves.

Can we pretend to be silver if we are born from big salt particles?

But who knew that those salt merchants seemed to have suddenly opened up their Ren and Du meridians.

If you block this road, he can open three other roads.

You banned this store, and three more stores reopened.

When you rake grass and shoot a rabbit, you never know from which hole it will pop out.

Salt is a necessity for people's livelihood and cannot be banned, otherwise it will lead to civil unrest.

Now everyone knows that their superior is here, and some of the people have become more active.

The trend of reporting is prevalent, and everyone is keeping their eyes open to find faults in others.

The Yangzhou officialdom was in fierce competition and the situation was tense. One official took over and another took the stage. How could it be described as lively?

But these have nothing to do with ordinary people. Instead, ordinary people live in peace.

Not many people bother ordinary people anymore.

……

After seeing off Jia Zheng and others, the Lin family enjoyed unprecedented peace since they moved to Yangzhou.

"Mom! We're going to the jewelry store later, right?"

Daiyu put on Yong'an's winter clothes again, a dark green robe covering her jacket and skirt, and a newly made dark blue silk grey squirrel cloak outside.

Now when Jia Min makes new clothes for Yong'an, she intentionally makes two extra sets in a larger size.

Firstly, children grow up fast, and secondly, it is convenient for Daiyu to wear it.

Having a daughter like this, Jia Min felt that she sighed too much and was about to get wrinkles.

"It's almost the end of the year, I'll take you guys for a walk and look at some jewelry!"

Although the purchase of New Year's goods is done by the stewards and maids, the mistress of the house also has to symbolically understand it.

Especially Jia Min, although she is now the wife of an official, she is equivalent to an official's wife who is outside the circle.

There was no way out. Based on her family's bad reputation, Jia Min didn't like to attend parties anymore.

Nothing is better than staying safe at home.

But the children could not be kept at home, especially Yong'an, who always went out to have fun with the Prince of Nannan.

Several times Daiyu was ready to change her clothes and go out, if she hadn't been vigilant and watched every day.

She also turned into a crazy girl.

Oh my god! It gives me a headache just thinking about it.

And ever since my second brother came last time and mentioned Daiyu's marriage.

She always tends to imagine this. If it really happens, she will complain all the time.

If there are more quarrels and fights, oh, it’s unimaginable.

Who is beating whom?

Raising such a child would be a shame to her future husband's family, and Jia Min felt she had no place to hide her face.

So, I take the children for a walk, and as long as I am watching them all the time, nothing else will come to mind.

So, the family of three dressed up and went out with their maids and guards.

In the East Garden of the Lin Mansion, the Prince of Nan'an took off the paper scroll from Haotian's feet.

He opened it and a smile filled his brows. The birds on the branches were chirping, sounding so beautiful.

Wei Wu walked in with a sullen face and saw the prince's happy expression.

I also saw Haotian standing on tiptoe with his neck tilted up, looking like he was asking for reward for his meritorious service.

I knew this guy would bring good news again.

I’ll talk about it later. Let him be happy for a while first. He quickly clenched the paper ball in his hand.

"Master! What good news did Haotian bring?" he asked curiously.

The Prince of Nan'an was happy to share the good news with him, "Tan Si said that the soldiers are all wearing new winter clothes. The new winter clothes are made of solid materials, and the warm ones have nowhere to vent their anger."

"Now the training is automatically added."

"The weapons that needed to be repaired and replaced have also been dealt with."

"It's the same. I have submitted my application to the court but still have not received a reply."

"To put it bluntly, it means we don't have money."

"This is an attempt to trap the Nan'an Army to death!"

Wei Wu was also indignant, "Damn it, a young soldier who can't fight has shiny armor."

"Those who can fight and endure hardships must eat bran and vegetables, and endure endless hardships."

"Come on! Speak politely, you are not in a military camp now."

"Just now I saw you come in with a dead look on your face. Did something strange happen to Wei Liu again?"

"Tell me what kind of news matches your face." The Prince of Nannan put the paper roll in his hand on the fire and lit it.

Watch it turn to ashes.

"Master! Wei Liu received news from the capital, saying that someone unknown had spread the news recently that the emperor intends to let the prince of Nannan marry the princess." Wei Wu looked mysterious, with an expression that was hard to describe.

"What?" The Prince of Nan'an raised his eyes in surprise and pulled at his plain clothes.

"You're still in mourning. Are you so impatient?"

Wei Wu frowned and replied, "Of course the messenger said that the emperor was waiting. He said the mourning period and issued an edict."

"Let's get married when we're old enough! After all, the princess hasn't been chosen yet!"

"But there is such a story. It must be someone who leaked the news on purpose." Wei Wu couldn't help but feel anxious for his master.

The imperial consort in this dynasty can only hold a nominal position, which means he has to give up all his rights and become a makeshift imperial consort.

The Prince of Nan'an looked towards the capital and laughed, "That has nothing to do with me. The princess is in charge of this matter!"

"What if some princess is blind and falls in love with the one in the mansion?"

"This is great fun."

"But maybe this is a match made in heaven for some people."

Wei Wu is not as optimistic as the prince thinks. The New Year is coming soon, and the mourning period will be a full year after the New Year.

In two years, the mourning period will be over.

If the imperial edict was issued, under the imperial power, Wei Wu took a breath of cold air.

This winter wind is so damn strong!
