Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"The Nan'an Palace has a long reach. They accidentally, coincidentally, and by chance, saved the concubine of the financial advisor. Who can believe this?"

"It would be more credible to say that the concubine was arranged by you?"

But he couldn't say this out loud. He owed the kid a huge favor. It looked like this kid really needed a good education.

In which direction should the dude teach this?

Lin Ruhai fell into deep thought.

At this time, Jia Min brought her child and followed the housekeeper to a hall.

Looking at the gods and Buddhas all over the hall, she clasped her hands together and walked around the hall.

"Buddhas in heaven! Forgive me for coming so late. Now my time is not under my control."

"It was not my intention. Please be magnanimous and stop putting me in such a dangerous situation!"

"Amitabha! Today I will definitely invite the Bodhisattva to my home and burn three sticks of incense to worship the Bodhisattva every morning and evening."

After saying that, she randomly picked a Buddha statue nearby and saw a cushion placed in front of it. The marks of kneeling on the cushion seemed deeper than those on the other statues.

"Meeting is destiny, you can't be picky, if you are picky you won't have time."

"Who knows if the princess will chase us away again in a while?"

The princess wanted the master to accept her son, the little bastard Prince Nan'an, but the master refused.

"Oh! Please don't blame me, Buddha, I am in such a dilemma!"

Jia Min took three incense sticks from the incense table, lit them with the candlelight, and inserted them into the incense burner.

He took two steps back, knelt on the mat, and prayed silently.

"Buddha! May my family be healthy and safe!"

……

After kneeling, she stood up and looked around. There was no one around. There were only three of them left in the hall.

The nanny who led the way left?

"good chance!"

"Daiyu, Yong'an, let's go out. Mother wants to find a monk to pray to the Buddha!"

Before she finished her words, she grabbed the two children's hands and rushed towards the palace door.

At this time, Yong'an was shrinking his neck and holding tightly onto the corner of his sister's clothes.

He didn't like it here, he thought it was a bit gloomy and unhappy.

Daiyu was admiring the statues of Bodhisattvas, some with kind eyes, some with glaring eyes.

She walked to the foot of the Bodhisattva statue where her mother was kneeling and took a closer look. She saw a small black stone tablet - Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth, placed there in a large space.

I don’t know if Jia Min saw it, but she was still missing her son very much.

That's right! Having only one young son might mean that the mother has too few offspring.

Daiyu wanted to take a closer look, but she almost stumbled and was pulled out of the palace by her mother.

She just happened to come into conflict with the palace's housekeeper Madam and Madam Rong.

"Madam is out, great! Madam, let's go!"

Jia Min was a little surprised, "Why is it so good? Where are we going?"

"Go home!"

……

In front of the gate of Hanshan Temple, Lin Ruhai, with an angry look on his face, dragged the confused Jia Min out.

"Master! I haven't prayed to the Bodhisattva yet!"

"Don't worry about the Bodhisattva, let's go back and talk about it."

Rong Mama walked behind and cursed loudly, "What kind of person is this? It's called the royal palace, but it doesn't know any rules."

"Why are you showing off? When our master comes, he will just let us go."

Lin Ruhai carried his daughter and son into the car, and then pushed the reluctant Jia Min into the car.

A group of people walked away in a hurry. Although it was quiet in front of the mountain gate, there were a few horse-drawn carriages coming and going, and people were whispering.

"Which one is that?"

"It seems to be the Gusu Lin family."

"Did he offend the Nan'an Palace and get kicked out?"

"The Nan'an Palace is about to fall, but it's still so powerful?"

"Don't talk nonsense about your noble's affairs. Be careful not to let him hear it. It will cost you your head!"

No one noticed that at the same time, a magnificent carriage drove out of Hanshan Temple from the back mountain gate.

……

"Master! What's going on? We were talking about a good discussion. Why are you being kicked out again?" Jia Min was also asking in the carriage.

Lin Ruhai stroked his forehead, also a little speechless. He had already promised the princess in person.

He planned to wait for the prince to recover from his injury and then take him away. In order to prevent any further complications, he planned to rush directly to Yangzhou within a month.

The transfer order he received required him to take up the post within three months, which was the time limit for him to hand over his current duties.

There was also delay on the road and time to settle down in Yangzhou. Although there was plenty of time, the Yangzhou salt administration was complicated.

How to use the booklet given by the princess? He also had to think carefully and plan ahead.

Unexpectedly, when the princess heard him agree to wait for the prince to recover and take him away, her face changed drastically and she said, "I'm sorry."

A group of guards as ferocious as wolves and tigers dragged him out.

Then the scene in front of the mountain gate happened, and they were driven out of Hanshan Temple.

Princess Nan'an is so unpredictable!

In the back hall of Hanshan Temple, the princess looked at the empty bed, her eyes reddened, she clutched her handkerchief tightly, and refused to shed a single tear.

The nanny stepped forward to support the shaky princess, "Princess! Why don't you explain it clearly to Lord Lin and Madam Jia?"

"And why did you choose the Lin family instead of the Wen family?"

"This old slave really can't figure it out!"

The princess sat down on the bed and said, "Yes! Mr. Wen is good in every way, and the prince has done him a favor."

"He should be chosen first. I thought so originally, but then Jia Min suddenly came in and I felt that she was more suitable."

"Mr. Wen has not been in the court for ten years. He is in urgent need of merit. Moreover, he was transferred from the Military Preparations Department, and his mentor is now also the Minister of War."

"I'm afraid he's aiming for the Nan'an Army! If he uses the Nan'an Army as a ladder to heaven... then what will he do to my son?"

"But Jia Min is different. I have known her for more than ten years. I dare not say how good her mind is, but I can guess how bad she is."

"That's right!" The nanny agreed immediately, "Jia Min has liked following the princess since she was a child. I think she is thirty years old, but she is still so innocent."

"Yes! Otherwise, she is lucky! With her little heart, she is still alive today after marrying to Gusu, which proves that her husband can protect her from the wind and rain!"

Who wouldn’t envy someone who lives like her?

Jia Min, who was said to be lucky, had no idea that as soon as she entered the house, a bigger surprise was waiting for her.

After a busy day, the children, adults and maids who had not even had a proper meal and only had some snacks were all starving.

They really look like a group of stray dogs that have been driven out.

When we got home, everything felt homely and everyone wanted to lie down on the bed and rest.

Jia Min forced the children and Lin Ruhai to wash up, change clothes and get rid of the bad smell.

If it wasn't for Aunt Rong pulling us, we would have wanted to get a fire basin and have everyone step over it.

It was getting dark, and everything was finally cleaned up. The maids served the food, and the family breathed a sigh of relief.

Today’s disaster is over!

Jia Min picked up the bowl and took a sip of the seafood soup, slowly savoring the delicious flavor.

I have eaten a lot of delicacies from land and sea since I was a child, but only at this moment do I feel happy.

The son and daughter also had small bowls in front of them, and their mother served them food.

My husband seemed very happy too. It seemed that his life was indeed happier than that of Princess Nan'an.

It made her feel unreal.

"Master, something's wrong with my wife!"

"Bang!" Jia Min's chopsticks fell to the ground, and the meat on them fell onto her body.

Lin Ruhai frowned and stopped using his chopsticks.

The two little ones and the wet nurse all looked at the old woman who brought the news.

At this time, the old woman slapped her face twice and said, "Oh, Madam, look, I am talking nonsense. Someone from Madam's family is coming!"

"My mother's young master is here!"

When Jia Min heard that someone from her mother's family was coming, she was inexplicably surprised and stood up immediately. She didn't even have time to blame the old woman for talking nonsense, and hurriedly greeted the old woman.

"Quick! Quick... please come here."

Instead, Lin Ruhai's face darkened, "Slow down!"
