Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Lin Ruhai took the cup of apprentice tea and looked at the confused prince.

“I don’t know if he is aware that he has been sold.”

I drank the tea in one gulp, it was extremely bitter.

Princess Nan'an admired Lin Ruhai's troubled face, and then watched the servants drag the prince back to the room.

Then he spoke to comfort her, "Master Lin, since we have already reached an agreement, I will show you my sincerity."

"Please excuse me, you and your wife, to rest in the back hall. I will entertain another visitor."

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he understood that she was afraid that she didn't believe in the existence of the Wen family.

This woman is meticulous and ruthless. He looked at Madam Jia Min again. How could two people who are so different from each other be close friends?

Isn't it that your wife is sold specifically to help others count the money?

So he took his wife and went to the back hall.

The princess nodded when she saw that there were no more strangers in the hall. The nanny understood and went outside to lead the people.

"Mrs. Wen, take care. Knowing you were coming, the princess has been waiting for you.

"It's just that the prince was a little naughty today, and the princess was taking care of some household chores. She kept you waiting for a long time." The nanny explained as she led the people in.

"No, no, no! The princess is of noble status. We are disturbing her."

When I saw the old lady who was speaking, she had an ebony hairpin across her head and her gray hair was neatly tied up.

Supporting the old lady's son, the daughter-in-law seemed a little reserved.

The princess hurriedly stood up to greet him, "What's your status? You're almost a lost dog. The old lady looks energetic and full of joy.

"Someone, come! Take a seat and serve some tea."

Mrs. Wen was polite, then sat down, picked up the teacup, took a sip and said,

"When our master was exiled to Nanning Guard, the prince took care of him. I have no way to repay him. I am deeply saddened to hear that the prince has passed away."

"Tell my wife to send a condolence gift as a token of our gratitude."

"Boss, present your father's funeral gifts to the princess."

The son next to him took out a gift list and handed it to the nanny next to him.

The nanny handed it to the princess. Princess Nan'an opened it and looked at it carefully.

"You are too polite, old man. The prince always said that you were wrongly accused and felt resentful, but due to your limited ability, you could only do your best to help."

"Now that our prince has passed away, they say that when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. It is so rare that we still have old friends who remember this friendship."

As the princess spoke, she burst into tears, took the handkerchief handed to her by the nanny next to her, and gently wiped her eyes.

Old Madam Wen comforted her softly, "It's because I, an old woman, can't speak that I made the princess sad."

"It is our destiny that the princess has come to Suzhou. If you need any help, we have a few errand boys in Suzhou."

The princess said gratefully, "We are an orphan and a widow, so we will stay at home to study. If you need any help in the future, we will not hesitate."

Hearing this, Madam Wen was stunned for a moment, "That's a pity, it will be difficult for us to meet in the future."

"Can I see my brother and sister this time? Boss, give your father to the prince's brother and sister as a token of his love."

The son next to him took out two jade pendants and handed them over.

"There's nothing good in the mountains. Brother, let me take you out to play!"

"Mammy, bring my little sister out. That rebellious child bumped into someone this morning, and I beat him up. He can't get out of bed."

"I'm afraid that was a bit rude."

At this moment, the nanny brought out a little fat girl from the back hall.

The little girl twisted her body as she walked, shaking off the nanny's hand.

He bent his knees impatiently as a greeting.

Old Mrs. Wen handed the jade pendant to the nanny, looked at the child and nodded in praise. Look how good the child is, it's obvious that he is destined to be rich.

Upon hearing this, the princess smiled slightly and said, "Old lady, the rebellious son is in the back hall, please follow me."

The three members of the Wen family followed Princess Nan'an into the back hall, and indeed saw the prince who had fainted on the bed due to serious injuries.

The nanny even opened the quilt on her body to let the old lady take a look, "Ah! The prince is too ignorant and can't understand the princess's difficulties at all!"

"The palace is in turmoil right now, we really shouldn't be so reckless and bump into people!"

When Old Mrs. Wen looked at the bloody back, she saw that although medicine had been applied, new cracks had appeared and blood was oozing out.

It seems that the child is not obedient and it is indeed difficult to heal. The wound will not heal in ten days or half a month.

The mother of this Nan'an Prince's Mansion is a widow, the son is seriously injured, and the daughter is even more so. Her etiquette and manners are not as good as those of a country boy's child.

It was obvious that the building was about to collapse and decline, and no one knew what the old man wanted to gain by asking them to come here.

Thinking of this, he immediately said goodbye to the princess.

"Princess, please stay! Sorry for disturbing you!"

As she walked out of the back hall of Hanshan Temple, Old Mrs. Wen's face darkened.

"Boss! Did you see clearly that the carriage outside belongs to the Lin family?"

"Could it be that the Prince of Nan'an offended the Lin family? Ask around."

"If she even hides from the Lin family and beats her son like that, then this princess is not as powerful as the master said."

"No matter how powerful a woman is, if she loses her position as the head of the family, she will lose her composure and her destiny. Did you hear that, eldest brother's wife?" The eldest brother's wife nodded and did not dare to speak.

Outside the gate of Hanshan Temple, the Wen family's carriage was waiting for the old lady to get on, and the coachman was standing at the curtain.

"Madam! I have found out clearly that I know the driver of the Lin family. He did bump into Madam Jia of the Lin family."

"And the princess also arrested Madam Jia."

Old Madam Wen pondered for a moment, "It seems that the Lin family has offended the palace?"

"Boss! What did your aunt ask you last time?"

"Mother," the eldest child answered, "Auntie asked, which family did the little sister marry?"

"I'll have to tell her when I get a chance."

The sound of the old lady's filing, combined with the sound of horse hooves, struck the heart of the eldest son of the Wen family.

……

In the back hall of Hanshan Temple, the princess took out a booklet and handed it to Lin Ruhai, "Master Lin, take a look at this. How about using it as a gift for my son?"

Lin Ruhai opened it and saw the name, official position, amount and time.

He was shocked and snapped the booklet shut.

He thought he could remain calm even when faced with a huge crisis, but he was still shocked.

"Princess! Where did this come from? Is it true?"

Princess Nan'an tapped her knuckles lightly on the armrest, calmly saying, "I said that this was a case of a family general accidentally saving the concubine of a cashier who was fleeing in panic."

"It was left behind by the concubine. The family general was very curious and checked one or two of them. It was confirmed to be the truth."

"Master Lin, do you believe it?"

"With this booklet, it should be able to guarantee you five years of merit. It shouldn't be difficult for you to rise to prominence, right?"

"If I give this thing to the Wen family, and I can be promoted four levels in one year, do you think it's possible?"

"Mr. Wen is over 50 years old. What he lacks is time and credit, but not talent!"

"Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind."

"Lin Ruhai, Master Lin, are you that wind?"

"Your Majesty is keeping a close eye on the salt administration. Lord Lin is taking up the post at a time when the situation is at its peak. Is Lord Lin ready?

Every time the princess spoke, Lin Ruhai's grip tightened and his heart twitched.

His palms began to sweat as he asked one question after another. He quickly changed hands to avoid getting the book wet.
