Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Did you hear that? Min'er, your second sister-in-law agreed and will send someone to deliver the message to the palace tomorrow morning." Grandmother Jia glanced at Jia Min and her daughter.

He looked at Lin Daiyu with a strange look in his eyes.

This child was really hard to understand, but there was one thing that pleased Grandmother Jia very much, that was that she actually dared to confront Lady Wang head-on and not lose the upper hand.

As long as this child is of the same mind as himself, no one would be more suitable than his granddaughter to hand over the power of the Jia family in the future.

Thinking of this, Grandmother Jia beckoned Daiyu to come over.

"Daiyu, come here. You are such a distant child. If you need anything in the future, just tell your grandmother directly, or you can come to Baoyu."

"It's too formal and seems alien."

Having said this, Grandmother Jia glanced at Jia Baoyu who was standing aside.

A meaningful smile.

Lin Daiyu curled her lips and said in an intimate tone, "Grandma, I understand."

"Since you told me to tell you what I want to tell you, I will tell you what I want to tell you."

Grandmother Jia said with relief, "Good child, go ahead and talk, grandma is listening!"

"I hope my grandmother and aunt will not interfere in my affairs."

"No matter what you think is good or bad, I have a father and a mother, and my parents are responsible for everything."

Daiyu felt that she had to make this matter clear in advance: her mother was a red bean-filled bun.

If my grandmother and aunt suddenly came to me again, saying that they were doing it for my own good and decided on some important matters for me in my life on a whim.

It will be too late to regret then!

Lin Daiyu's words were a bit outrageous.

Before Grandmother Jia could get angry and scold her, Jia Min immediately shouted in a bluffing manner, "How can Daiyu talk to her grandmother like that!"

"You really say whatever comes to your mind!"

"Jia Min, you are really good at teaching children!" Mrs. Wang on the side said sarcastically. Now that it has been said, I will not be polite.

"No wonder the monk sent your daughter to become a nun. It turns out that the monk had already predicted from her mother's womb that your daughter would not be able to get married."

"Instead of this, it is better to become a monk and leave a good reputation."

Mrs. Wang's words were without thinking, and her threat was obvious. She looked at the people in the room and still felt indignant.

It was supposed to be a great thing, but these ungrateful people turned it into a huge disaster.

Lin Daiyu frowned slightly when she heard this.

This Mrs. Wang really threw away the Bodhisattva mask and doesn't care about anything anymore.

She stared at Madam Wang and said firmly, "Aunt, whether to become a nun or not is my own choice. It has nothing to do with you."

Although her voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable power.

He thought that he had once told Xue Baochai about the idea of ​​becoming a nun, and it seemed that Xue Baochai had told her, or had somehow passed the idea on to Mrs. Wang.

Seeing this, Grandmother Jia's eyes flashed with admiration. She looked at Lin Daiyu and said with a smile: "Daiyu, you don't have to pay attention to your aunt. She just speaks her mind."

As Grandmother Jia spoke, she patted Lin Daiyu's hand, signaling her not to take it to heart.

Jia Baoyu also came back to his senses at this time. He looked at Lin Daiyu with eyes full of sympathy.

When Mrs. Wang heard their conversation, her face became even gloomier.

She snorted coldly and said, "Since you all think I'm a bad person, I have nothing to say."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving behind an awkward atmosphere.

Jia Min was so angry that she was shaking all over, and she just held Daiyu's hand tightly and blankly.

Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Min gratefully, she knew that Jia Min was protecting her.

……

The next day, Jia Min and Lin Daiyu waited anxiously for news all day.

But by the afternoon there was still no news.

On the third day, Jia Min sent Rong Mama to inquire.

I only got one word of comfort, which said it was passed on, but there was no response.

These ambiguous words made the two of them very anxious and worried.

When Lin Ruhai came back, Jia Min had no choice but to tell him about this.

Lin Ruhai was very angry when he heard this. He had heard about this matter before and felt that it had nothing to do with his family.

Daiyu did not become famous after coming to the capital. She had no reputation for talent or good looks, and her family background was not prominent. She was now like an invisible person in the officialdom.

Seeing that Jia Min was quite anxious, he had no choice but to comfort her.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

……

"Master Lin, Miss Lin's name has already been registered with Princess Chaoyang. Princess Chaoyang specifically told His Majesty that she likes Miss Lin."

"If you really want to quit, you may have to resort to extreme measures, such as claiming illness."

"It has to be a serious disease passed down from generation to generation."

“But the timing is hard to grasp.”

"Think about it."

"And I have a piece of news for you. The two princesses seem to have been stimulated by something and are extremely violent. There are often dead bodies being dragged out of the princess's mansion."

"There are so many injured." In a dark room of a restaurant, Lin Ruhai frowned as he listened to the report from the man in black.

"If you need to pretend to be sick, I have medicine here. If you take it, it will make you look like you have smallpox. Even if the imperial physician comes, he won't be able to tell what's wrong."

"Please think about it." The man in black continued.

"Give me the medicine. Is this medicine reliable?" Although Lin Ruhai trusted this man very much, he had to ask just in case of any unexpected events. After all, this matter concerned Daiyu's health.

This is medicine, not anything else. I only have one daughter, so I can't be careless.

"Reliable, I can give you two copies, and you can have someone experiment on them."

Lin Ruhai reached out and took the medicine, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

He had a feeling that the princess had set her sights on Daiyu, and her illness would not give her any rest.

……

"Master, is this medicine reliable?" Jia Min felt uneasy when she heard that her child had to take medicine.

Lin Daiyu took the medicine, opened the paper package, and took a look, but couldn't tell what it was.

Just a pack of gray powder.

Just now she had heard that the princess had set her eyes on her, and might have fallen in love with her in Prince Zhongshun's mansion.

"Father, no need. Give me the medicine and I'll keep it. I won't take it either. If the enemy comes, we'll just fight him with our soldiers and if the water comes, we'll block it with earth."

"If this is the only way to avoid this matter, I'd better go."

"But I need father to help me find out more details. Can I bring maids? How many can I bring?"

Lin Daiyu also had an idea here, that is, the reason why Mrs. Wang was so domineering was because there was a Jia Yuanchun in the palace.

I must see Jia Yuanchun and find a way to threaten her and tell her not to manipulate others by relying on the unfounded imperial favor.

"What do you want to do? Those two princesses are like crazy now. If you confront them, you will hurt yourself."

Lin Ruhai was very worried, as the princess's mansion was definitely not a good place.

Although Daiyu has some talents now, the princess is in power and it is not a place for reason.

Lin Daiyu saw the worries of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, and she comforted them, "Father, mother, don't worry, I have my own way to deal with it."

"And I'm not the only tutor, aren't there others?"

Damn it, I just won’t let myself lie down properly.

Lin Daiyu secretly wanted to swear.

After a few days, news spread in the capital that the princess's mansion was looking for a study companion. A study companion is more than just accompanying someone in studying.

It is said that there has been an internal decision, Huo'er from Prince Zhongshun's mansion is the internal choice, and there are three more who need to be selected from the families of meritorious officials.

The sixth day of this month is the selection day.

Today is the third day of the Chinese New Year, and the date was set so urgently, which shows how lonely the princesses are and how much they need playmates.

Although the Lin family has been busy preparing things for Lin Daiyu these days, since they haven't received a formal official invitation, the family pretends not to know.

What if our own home is missed?

The Jia family invited Jia Min several times, but she politely declined each time.

She is now discouraged about going back to her parents' home. Although she should be filial to her mother, she really wants to stay away from her sister-in-law who is silent and always stirs up trouble.

"Today is the fifth day of the lunar new year. Our family did not receive an invitation. Maybe the princess forgot about you."

"As long as the sixth day passes and the princess has chosen someone, our matter will be over."

Jia Min talks about it every day.

I am afraid of talking about things.

"Mr. Lin, Madam Lin, an invitation from the Princess's Mansion."

Sure enough, on the fifth day, the Lin family received the invitation.
