Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

I hate this kind of public performance the most. I can't help but participate. This is the downside of not having any talent.

I wonder if it’s okay to recite “Quiet Night Thoughts” later?

I want to tell a joke, but I'm afraid there won't be any funny moments.

Oh! It's difficult!

When the drumbeat stopped at Xue Baocha, he started to compose a poem. Although it had a bit of doggerel flavor to suit the occasion, it was also a form of elegant art.

The moon reflected in the building adds to the beauty of spring.

Fine liquor moistens the lungs and intestines.

Laughter and joy convey warmth,

The host and the guests were all happy and toasted together

Everyone cheered in unison, Mrs. Wang nodded repeatedly, and Aunt Xue drank the wine in her glass with satisfaction.

Being both beautiful and talented, Xue Baochai is sure to win this time.

As for me, I have no idea at the moment. Sometimes, the more you fear something, the more likely it will happen.

……

"Dangdangdang..." The flower stopped when it reached Lin Daiyu's hand.

Lin Daiyu held the flower in her hand and wished she could eat it in one bite.

The people on the side started to make a fuss, especially Wang Xifeng.

"Sister Lin, now is the time for you to show off your talents."

"Your younger brother is a child prodigy. He passed the imperial examination at a young age, and your father was also a top scholar."

"Our sister Lin is the perfect candidate and will definitely win the championship."

"Isn't that right, everyone?"

At this time, how could everyone not join in the fun and cheered.

Only Jia Min looked at her daughter worriedly.

She had never seen her daughter behave in any way. Apart from being naughty, she read books and practiced calligraphy from time to time, sometimes even writing a few big characters for show.

Her father Lin Ruhai's calligraphy was very popular and many people asked for his calligraphy.

Lin Daiyu was also very conflicted at this time. On the one hand, she could not overshadow Xue Baochai, after all, she still had to match her with Jia Baoyu.

But you can't appear too unlearned.

Losing someone from the Lin family isn’t a good thing either.

After all, the genes are there.

……

Seeing that Lin Daiyu did not move for a long time, everyone waited quietly and no one made a fuss.

Waiting for her to make a fool of herself or shine.

Lin Daiyu looked around and saw the wealth in the room, and she suddenly had an idea.

Where is this? This is Dream of the Red Chamber!

What could be more appropriate than the theme song of A Dream of Red Mansions?

"Sisters and elders, I don't know any poetry, I just do it."

"When I was in the south with my father in my early years, I heard a song from somewhere and found it very interesting. I will sing it for you."

After saying this, Lin Daiyu stood up and sang a poem, "In vain I frowned."

"One is a fairy flower in the paradise, the other is a flawless jade... How can our thoughts end up in vain?"

When the song ended, the whole room was silent.

The lyrics are good and the music is good.

But it doesn't fit the scene, the sadness goes straight to the soul.

An indescribable emptiness filled this space.

Jia Baoyu was stunned on the spot, muttering to himself, "My thoughts are finally in vain, my thoughts are finally in vain."

Is it true that all wealth, glory, and beautiful women are ultimately empty?

There are so many people here who have their own worries. Rich people are good at hiding their thoughts.

Are so many thoughts that cannot be told to outsiders gone with the wind?

……

"Bang!" Mrs. Wang's eyes were as cold as ice.

I had just received the master's blessing, and a maid made such a sad sound, which was obviously a taboo for me.

Jia Min was also a little confused. Could it be that the child had something unspeakable in his thoughts?

Who disturbed the child's mind?

……

"Brother Bao, it's your turn." Wang Xifeng's shout woke up Jia Baoyu who was in a daze.

He seemed to be in a dream and was sweating profusely.

"My turn, yes."

He murmured to himself,

……

After saying this, Jia Baoyu picked up the wine in the cup and drank it all.

Thousands of beauties in one cave, thousands of beauties in one sorrow,

He filled another glass and drank it again.

One cup after another...

Although these wines are fruit wines and are sweet, they can be intoxicating if you drink too much.

The cup is empty, the person is empty, everything is empty.

Flowers and willows are all in the wind

……

"Stop him quickly and take Baoyu away," Mrs. Wang hurriedly shouted for someone to stop Jia Baoyu and ordered them to carry him away.

My honest child is driven crazy by this excitement.

Mrs. Wang had no place to vent her resentment, so she found a way out for herself.

……

The banquet ended with Jia Baoyu getting drunk.

Everyone recalled the scene at the banquet and felt bored.

The delicious food is tasteless and the laughter is heartless.

Lin Daiyu was also pulled away by Jia Min.

How could I compose such a sad song after having been scolded on the road?

Lin Ruhai listened to Jia Min's story about Lin Daiyu's singing.

When you sip it slowly in your mouth, you will feel the endless aftertaste.

"Daiyu, where did you hear this song?"

How should Lin Daiyu respond to this? "Father, I once told mother about a dream I had.

Then, Lin Daiyu recounted the story in the book Dream of the Red Chamber, how she entered her grandmother's house as an orphan and how she died of tears.

This was the second time Jia Min heard it, and she still found it unbelievable.

"Master, listen to this, is it true that whatever she thinks about during the day, she dreams about it at night, and she can remember a dream for so many years?"

But Lin Ruhai did not agree with Jia Min.

He asked Daiyu, "Are there any other lyrics in the dream?"

Lin Daiyu picked out a few words from the ones she could remember and said a few famous ones.

And most of them only remember a few sentences.

For example, the poem about burying flowers goes, "You bury flowers today and people laugh at you as a fool, but who will bury you next year?"

……

"She is actually a talented woman!" Lin Ruhai sighed.

"What happened to my grandmother's family in the end?" Lin Ruhai continued to ask.

Lin Daiyu talked about how her grandmother's family eventually fell into decline and was confiscated, and how the sisters were separated and family members were torn apart.

Of course, she didn't dare say that the protagonist was herself. Wouldn't that make people think she was crazy or possessed?

Perhaps Lin Ruhai heard something wrong and continued to ask, "Who raided the house?"

Lin Daiyu was startled. Who was it? It was Jia Yucun and Prince Zhongshun.

How do you say this.

She looked at Lin Ruhai's eyes that were as sharp as seeing through fire, and she shrank back unconsciously.

Will Lin Ruhai discover that she is no longer their daughter?

No, Lin Daiyu thought of her nine lifetimes dream,

I am their daughter, but this is just one of their lives.

"Father, what do you mean?"

Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Daiyu's changing eyes.

He asked, "Daiyu, I am your father. You should talk to your father if you have anything."

"Is that you, the girl in my dream?"

Lin Daiyu subconsciously retorted, "Why does father think so?"

Jia Min's eyes widened, "Master, you are crazy."

"how is this possible?"

"That's one miserable girl."

Lin Ruhai did not respond. He stared at Lin Daiyu and said, "Daiyu, go ahead."

No matter what Lin Daiyu said, she couldn't say that everyone was a character in the book.

She had no choice but to say with a sad face, "Father, you guessed right, that was my dream."

"I have lived my whole life in a dream."

"In my dream, both my parents died and my younger brother died young."

"I grew up alone in the Jia Mansion and died at the age of seventeen."

"From now on, there will be no one in my Lin family."

……

Lin Daiyu finished speaking in one breath as if in a fit of anger, and suddenly she felt as if the huge stone pressing on her heart had been lifted.

It feels so refreshing.

bring it on! Let the storm come more violently!

Upon hearing Lin Daiyu's words, Jia Min hugged her head tightly and trembled, and Lin Ruhai held her shoulders.

Yong'an's mouth was as bulging as if he had a walnut in it.

Lin Daiyu described in detail how she survived in the Jia family and how she eventually died in tears.

The more the family talks about it, the more painful it becomes.

Jia Min burst into tears, "Stop talking, you said that in the end your second uncle Baoyu married Xue Baochai?"

"You died of grief over this?"

"Don't worry, Mom won't let them succeed."

Lin Daiyu was stunned, "Mother, that's not right, you heard it wrong."

"To make them, mother, that was a dream play. Now it is different."
