Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

What is injustice? This is injustice.

Shi Yifang had a miserable smile on his face, and it seemed as if every bone in his body was crying.

With shaking hands, he signed his indenture.

From then on, I became a slave to my niece.

Shi Xiangyun's smile was also bitter. When she saw Shi Yifang finished writing, she said to her,

"From now on, you can call me Aunt Shi!"

"I can't call you aunt anymore, can I?"

After saying this, he forced a smile and faced the Jia family members in the room.

"Don't laugh at me, everyone has troubles."

Jia Tanchun stepped forward and gently held her hand.

How much rumors, slander and ridicule she will have to endure in the future.

He made his aunt a slave.

She also wants to be a female censor who shoulders the moral responsibility. Isn't this a ready-made target for people to talk about?

……

At this time, I only heard Jia's mother sighing and saying,

"Girl Yun, since you don't want money, just sell it to me!"

"I am an old woman now, and I am not afraid of what people say."

"You still have to live your life."

"When you get married, you can't leave any stain on your marriage."

"Bring me the indenture contract!"

"Old lady," Shi Xiangyun heard this and knelt down in front of the old lady. She sniffed and lay on her legs crying.

Shi Yifang was already numb. She slumped down behind Cuilu, oblivious to everything around her.

It seemed that whether she was a niece or an aunt, it had nothing to do with her.

It doesn’t matter who you sell to.

At this time, Jia Baoyu was heard saying,

"I just heard someone say that Sister Lin is going to set up a girls' academy, but I don't know what it's called."

"Anyway, I have nothing to give you right now, so I'll just give you a poem!"

Jia Tanchun replied, "Second brother, Sister Lin personally decided on the name Xuanji Academy."

Jia Baoyu muttered slowly,

"Xuan Ji, Xuan Ji, it's true!"

"There are mysteries everywhere in this world."

"It seems that this is not just a dream. It turns out that everything is full of mysteries."

Others thought he was having another fit of hysteria.

Unexpectedly, he turned his head and looked at Mrs. Wang and Xue Baochai.

"Mother, Sister Bao, all the sisters are here, and the old lady is here too."

"I say it again, I am ready to die alone in this life."

"I'm not planning on getting married and having children."

"I hope I won't delay Sister Bao."

"..."

"Nonsense! Are you reading the books of sages now just to let you disobey and talk nonsense?" Jia Zheng stepped in from outside with an angry look on his face.

He has nothing to do now, so he goes out to drink tea every day.

There is too much clutter at home, which makes me feel upset.

Now, all his thoughts are on his children.

Jia Baoyu has the best potential for revival, but what is needed at this time is a person of good moral character.

Although Mrs. Wang and Lady Jia arranged a marriage for Jia Baoyu without telling him.

I was a little dissatisfied, but since I had already gotten engaged, I couldn't go back on my word.

Going back on one's words and being treacherous are not things a family like his would do.

Once one's moral character is damaged, one's future career will be difficult.

Upon hearing this, Jia Baoyu could not hide his disappointment, but he did not even look back at his father.

He continued to ask Xue Baochai,

"What does Sister Bao think?"

"If you agree with me, I have my own way to cancel the engagement."

Xue Baochai looked embarrassed. You look down on me so much that you question me like this in front of so many people. Where do you put my face?

So she covered her mouth with her handkerchief and began to sob, even crying to Lady Wang.

"Aunt, this is my parents' order and the matchmaker's words."

"Brother Bao, are you going to let me live?"

"Aunt, you have to make the decision for me."

"Didn't you tell me at the beginning that the old immortal had agreed?"

"now……"

After saying this, he burst into tears.

"Absurd! This matter has been decided and there will be no change." Mrs. Wang's sleeves were wet from being rubbed by Xue Baochai.

She pointed at Jia Baoyu and cursed.

"I don't care which bitch has seduced you, but if you want to get through this door, it's impossible."

As she said this, she glanced at Jia Zheng with hatred in her eyes.

Jia Zheng tilted his head and pretended not to see it.

Grandmother Jia also looked helpless and gloomy.

Others were just worried about him.

……

Jia Baoyu looked around and couldn't help but smile. It seemed that he had returned to that

Master Bao, who "smiles when angry and is affectionate when angry."

"I wonder if you want the real Baoyu or Jia Baoyu?"

Having said this, he turned and left.

Recently, he sometimes dreams that he gets married without knowing anything, but something bad happens.

Lin Daiyu is dead.

So he will never get married in this life.

Why don't people believe it?

……

Spring goes and autumn comes, winter comes and summer goes. Almost three years have passed.

Many major events have occurred in the past three years. King Nan'an ascended the throne and the whole country celebrated.

Xuanji Academy responded.

After experiencing countless slander and exclusion, he finally grew up with the full support of the new emperor.

The first chief priest was actually Jia Tanchun, a concubine of the Duke of Rong.

Jia Tanchun, Dean Jia, and Jia Jijiu are resolute and decisive, and clear about rewards and punishments.

Women from the common people as well as the nobility were proud to be admitted to Xuanji Academy, where they excelled in their studies.

Lin Daiyu, the future Queen, will meet her in person.

Some were even recommended to teach in academies, and some were promoted to female officials.

A group of women, led by Shi Xiangyun, established a new Censorate.

Specifically impeach those who are unfair to women and unkind to children.

These people have sharp eyes and can check the accounts accurately.

When it comes to the encroachment of dowry and domestic violence and murder in various places, our words are as sharp as a knife and our words are as sharp as a sword.

Gradually, these female censors became feared by the people.

There is also the nun Miaoyu, who went directly to a mountain outside Beijing and named it Longcui Mountain.

At the foot of Longcui Mountain, in the Longcui Temple, people are busy with divination and fortune-telling.

……

Everyone knows why these people are so rampant, because Lin Daiyu is standing behind them.

And behind Lin Daiyu stands the Emperor.

This emperor has never seen a woman before! How could he be so sure of this one?

Many people raised their opinions with the former Concubine Nan'an, now the Empress Dowager, and she was furious.

In the past three years, the opportunities for Lin Daiyu and Jia Min to visit him were very few.

Not to mention festivals, even the New Year is rare and we just go through the motions with everyone else.

But I couldn't tell my son about it because his heart had been hooked.

Her current status in her son's eyes is not as good as Jia Min's.

As expected, one day, she casually asked, "What has His Majesty been busy with recently?"

Someone replied to her,

"Your Majesty, Miss Lin's birthday is coming up soon, and His Majesty is preparing a gift!"

Before she finished her words, the housekeeper quickly stepped back automatically, and the Queen Mother was about to scold her for being ridiculous.

Sure enough, I heard the Queen Mother scolding,

"It's really ridiculous!"

"As a king, you don't need to focus on governing the country, you are dealing with these things every day."

Mammy stepped back again.

Sure enough, a cup fell at his feet again.

There is no other way. It is a fixed daily routine. I can’t vent my anger on my son, so I have to use it on us servants.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother recovered quickly and it was over in a short while.

Sometimes when he was in a difficult situation, he wanted to call Jia Min over, but after being rejected a few times, he gave up.

Instead, the Queen Mother often listened to Princess Nan'an talking about interesting things in the academy, and she listened with great interest.

I didn't expect this girl would really get so good at it.

This proves that his son's vision is correct.
