Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"He has a soft personality and is easily provoked. He doesn't act like a boy and has no stability."

"Aunt, he was bullied as he said, although it was due to his misconduct."

"But I only have this weak brother. You know me. I am not the Qin family's biological child. I was adopted by the Qin family, and now I am married into this wealthy family."

“It’s a huge blessing.”

"Who knew that I would have such an unpromising brother, ruining this good fortune in vain."

After saying this, Qin Keqing burst into tears. How many people knew how difficult it was to be a daughter-in-law of a wealthy family?

Without a capable mother's family, it would be difficult to survive in the mansion.

No matter who you are, you have to flatter.

Wang Xifeng tried to comfort him helplessly, "Don't worry too much. If anyone bullies you, we can just beat them with a big stick."

"Don't worry about it, leave it to me!"

"Just rest assured and take care of your baby."

Qin Keqing thought for a long time, but still found it difficult to make a decision. "Aunt, after being spanked, can Qin Zhong still stay in school?"

"Besides, there are so many people in our clan, and everyone has some origin."

"The Qin family is a small family with only one son, Qin Zhong, and they can't support themselves."

"If I ask my aunt, can you let Qin Zhong go to the Lin family's affiliated school? I heard that my cousin Yong'an is very successful now."

Wang Xifeng's face turned unhappy when she heard this. "I think you'd better not try this. Last time Baoyu made a scene and wanted to go to the attached school, he was rejected."

"If you bring it up again now, isn't this a slap in the face?"

"I also know that it's hard for you to say it in front of me. Are you being bullied by that fool Xue?"

"If you're afraid that I'll feel bad, I can call you a fool in front of you."

At this point, Wang Xifeng sneered, "It is true that no matter who you hit, the stick will not hit his head. If you still have this idea, you can't take this path from the Jia family."

"Unless you ask your father to beg the Qin family, I think your brother has to show his temper, otherwise he will be bullied wherever he goes."

After listening to Wang Xifeng's words, Qin Keqing fell into deep thought.

……

Wang Xifeng came back from the East Palace and reported Qin Keqing's situation to Lady Jia.

Grandmother Jia was taking her children to choose a place to live in the Grand View Garden.

Last time, Jia Yuanchun felt that the Grand View Garden was so beautiful but was left empty, which was a pity, so she suggested that the sisters and Baoyu move in.

This time, when Jia Min and Daiyu came over, Jia's mother became interested and asked the children to choose a garden. From now on, this would be the girls' paradise.

When Baoyu heard the news, he was very excited and ran around to help others with reference.

He saw that Xiaoxiang Pavilion had a quiet environment and pleasant scenery, and was a good place to study.

Baoyu excitedly found Lin Daiyu and said, "Sister Lin, I have chosen Xiaoxiang Pavilion for you. The environment there is quiet and it is most suitable for you to study."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Lin Daiyu shook her head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to move into the Grand View Garden. I still like to study at home."

Lin Daiyu thought to herself that she didn't want to be buried in the Grand View Garden in this life.

For me, Grand View Garden is a place of reincarnation.

Baoyu was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Why is that? Sister Lin, the Grand View Garden is beautiful and you have the company of your sisters. Isn't it better than going back to the Lin family alone?"

Grandmother Jia also helped, "Yes, Daiyu, choose one you like and keep it for you."

"Whenever you want to come and stay for a few days, or play with your sisters, you can have a place to stay."

Grandmother Jia was also helpless, seeing how long Aunt Xue had lived in the Jia Mansion.

My son goes to school with me, and my daughter lives in the garden. Anyway, the main point is that you are welcome.

At first glance, it seems that he came prepared.

Don't let the Xue family get the upper hand by then.

Who knows what Aunt Xue is thinking?

My daughter is good in every way except that she is too distant from me.

If more granddaughters were sent to the Jia family, this place would not become the Xue family's world.

His son Xue Pan, relying on his few bucks, instigated the other kids to fight in the school.

Even Baoyu and Jia Lan were affected.

But since they are relatives, it is difficult to discipline them.

Thinking of this, she said directly to Jia Min, "Min'er, persuade Daiyu to choose a place to live so that she will have a place to stay when she comes here in the future."

"Besides, this child is too shy. You need to teach him more."

Jia Min had no choice but to take over and book the Xiaoxiang Pavilion for Lin Daiyu.

In fact, she knew that Daiyu might still not be able to forget what happened in her dream, so she was still afraid of living in the Jia family.

So every time Lady Jia asked, Jia Min had to explain that Daiyu was a little shy and didn't like living with relatives.

So in the Grand View Garden, each sister chose her favorite residence.

Jia Baoyu chose Yihong Courtyard, Xue Baochai chose Hengwu Courtyard, the three sisters chose Zhuijin Tower, Qiushuangzhai and Liaofengxuan respectively, and Li Wan chose Daoxiangju...

Since Lin Daiyu didn't want to live there, after the selection, Jia Min took Daiyu back to the Lin family. As for the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, they were allowed to decorate it however they wanted.

……

"Yongan, can you add another classmate?"

One day, Lin Ruhai, who had just returned from work at the government office, saw the children were all there and asked this question.

"Father, could it be that cousin Sanyi is coming back?" Lin Yongan asked casually.

He doesn't care much if his classmates disagree.

"Sanyi will soon be there, but this classmate is not Sanyi. His last name is Qin Zhong, and he is two or three years older than you." Lin Ruhai explained patiently.

"Oh!" Yong'an is now like a little old man, and he can do whatever he wants.

"Qin Zhong?" Lin Daiyu was very surprised. Could this be Qin Keqing's younger brother?

Can this person do it?

Will it lead Yongan astray?

As a modern soul, Lin Daiyu honestly feels that there is no man worth having in Dream of the Red Chamber.

They play too wildly, and some of them even appeal to both men and women.

Only my own younger brother looks presentable, and I’m afraid he will be contaminated by others.

"Father, have you examined Qin Zhong's character?"

"He studied with Jia Baoyu. How did he find you?"

Lin Ruhai was helpless in the face of Lin Daiyu's questioning. Qin Zhong's father, Qin Ye, was in his sixties or seventies, and he would block Lin Ruhai's way home from the yamen every day to ask for help.

I trembled as I begged for a place for my son to study.

Lin Ruhai also refused again and again, but the old man got so anxious that he wanted to kneel down.

Later, Lin Ruhai also thought that his son felt lonely studying alone and was less and less willing to communicate with others, and he called it looking down on them.

In the long run, it will definitely have a bad influence on the child's character. He still needs some peers.

Moreover, he looked at the child and found that he seemed to be quite smart and shy. The child was not too old and could be disciplined.

So he said to Daiyu,

"I've seen the child, he's OK. I've also told his father that our Lin family's teacher has a bad temper. If the child doesn't obey, he will be scolded often."

"Does Qin Zhong agree?" Lin Daiyu's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Lin Ruhai was a little confused.

"Of course he agrees. If he doesn't agree, can I come and discuss it with you?"

"Of course my family is the most important. If Yongan disagrees, I will also refuse."

Lin Daiyu was surprised. Aren’t Qin Zhong and Jia Baoyu a couple?
