Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

In the early morning, Lin Jinyu followed the patriarch to the place where the ancestral grave was located. Looking around, there was a huge piece of earthen buns, and there were many without monuments and words. Lin Jinyu couldn't help but ask.

Lin Zongchang smiled and said, "Some people don't like erecting monuments, saying that a lifetime will be enough. People die ashes, and everything is empty. Your father is a good man. He has become a high-ranking official outside and has not forgotten his clansmen. I think you are also good. The eyes are clear and the heart is right. In fact, your branch has established a separate genealogy, but your ancestor Jing Ning Hou was very kind to the clan, and Jing An Hou liked the quiet here, and returned here to be buried after passing away."

"Daddy never said that."

"This village has existed for hundreds of years. It turns out that the Lin family is not in Gusu, but in Shandong. It is also a family." At the end of the previous dynasty, the Lin family was divided into two factions, one was an official in the old dynasty, and the other was serving beside the current Taizu. Your ancestor Jingning Hou was the advisor of the Taizu. We fought more than a dozen battles In [-], the last emperor committed suicide in the forbidden palace, and the Taizu emperor occupied the country, and naturally began to liquidate the previous family. An ancestor of the Lin family, Mr. Cheng Yi was the former mentor of the last emperor. After the last emperor left, he also died with his own body. Duke Yi is my ancestor. Duke Cheng Yi shot and killed Taizu’s younger brother King Jing with an arrow when he led his troops to fight. At this time, Taizu was sitting in the country. How could he spare the Lin family? The Marquis of Jing’an secretly extradited the clan to Make your home here."

"Did Taizu not pursue it?" Lin Jinyu couldn't help being fascinated by hearing this.

"Back when the world was pacified, the Taizu granted the four kings and eight princes according to their meritorious service, and the Marquis of Jing'an was his number one adviser. How could it be possible that he was just a marquis in terms of meritorious rewards?" Lin Zongchang smiled lightly, his eyes bright, "No one knows that the Marquis of Jing'an What method was used to persuade Emperor Taizu. Our branch came here, and the years in the mountains are peaceful, which is also a blessing. Jing'an Hou's branch went out during Taizu's time, but someone sent Jing'an Hou The ashes were returned for burial. The Marquis of Jing'an had the grace of life for my ancestors, so naturally he would not refuse, so he chose this feng shui land for you, and people come to clean it every year to worship."

"Daddy said that the Marquis of Jing'an was buried in the Taizu Mausoleum."

"That's not clear." Lin Zongchang said, "This fate has been passed down from generation to generation. You are a descendant of the Marquis of Jing'an. I will tell you according to the rules. Although you have established a separate genealogy, you have not repaid your life-saving grace. If you want to come back, you can come back anytime."

Lin Jinyu couldn't help saying, "The Marquis of Jing'an and Duke Cheng Yi must have a deep relationship." Otherwise, he wouldn't risk saving these people.

"An elder brother and a younger brother, how can they not be deep?" Lin Zongchang pointed casually and sighed, "The tomb without a stele is the joint burial place of Duke Chengyi and Marquis Jing'an."

Lin Jinyu can't imagine what kind of love-hate entangled history this is. The truth has disappeared with the wind, leaving only a piece of loess for future generations to admire and guess.

"I heard that the Marquis of Jing'an married Princess Chonghua, the eldest sister of the Taizu, as his wife. The two married deeply. Said, "Jing'an Hou left a son, my great-grandfather, Uncle Ping'an, who raised the palace, but was not liked by Emperor Taizu."

Lin Ruhai told him these things. Now it seems that no one can tell the truth of history except the person involved.The Zongzhang took him to see the blessed land chosen for Lin Ruhai and his wife.

Lin Zongchang has a bold temper, but he is not rude, and he cooks tea better than Mr. Xu.Lin Jinyu buried his parents, left some silver, and took Lin Zongzhang to send half a carload of mountain goods back to Beijing.

Jia Lian went there, but he didn't get half of the money back, and he paid for the round trip, which didn't make Mrs. Wang mad.

When Mrs. Wang greeted Jia Mu the next day, she said with a smile, "I was in a hurry yesterday, but I forgot to tell Feng girl that Miss Lin is wearing a filial piety, so let's choose plain materials to make two clothes. Others How about the Yueli mother-in-law and the like, compared to Tanyatou and the others?"

Lin Daiyu smiled lightly, took out a bank note from her sleeve, and said to Jia Mu, "Yesterday I was so sad that I forgot about the business. It's 1 taels of silver. It's a waste of money for our sister and brother to come here." Indispensable. I know that my grandmother loves me and we don't want to accept it. It's just a daily life, so I don't want to pay for it. These can be counted as our siblings' food and clothing in the mansion. As for the clothes, it is thanks to the second aunt who loves me, but I have enough clothes. I don't need to make new clothes, it would be a waste if I can't wear them. I have two first-class maids, four second-class maids, and eight coarse maids. In addition, there are nurses Nanny, the two well-behaved aunts who come out of the palace, have given four wives a hard time, so there is no need to add any more. The monthly payment is still the same as when I was at home, and we will pay for it ourselves."

These words almost choked Mrs. Wang's life. Mother Jia complained in her heart about Mrs. Wang's clumsy tongue and said with a smile, "What money is there for grandma! Take it back, or grandma will be angry."

Lin Daiyu smiled slightly, "I heard that the same is true of Aunt Xue's family. This is also Yu'er's heart, so don't refuse my grandmother. Now that my grandmother doesn't care about the house, I'll give the banknote directly to my second aunt." Lin Daiyu took a few steps When he came to Mrs. Wang, he was short and blessed, and handed over the bank note with a smile, saying, "I know that my second aunt is compassionate and doesn't want to accept the money from my niece. She just lives at home. This is the way to get along. Please second aunt be sympathetic to us." Sister and brother's kindness, accept it."

Mrs. Wang pulled the corners of her lips and forced a smile, "If I ask you, you think too much, Jin Chuan, don't let Miss Lin suffer."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said softly, "It's no surprise that there are so many polite people. I heard my mother said that the second aunt is the most kind. I have to tell the second aunt that the two cooks in my family make good dishes. I have the heart to cook." Come to honor my grandmother, but I just want to set up a small kitchen, I don't know if it is convenient for the second aunt?"

Jia Mu laughed, "It's just a one-sentence matter, so you don't need to say it alone. Feng girl, I have prepared a set of utensils for your sister Lin."

Wang Xifeng hurriedly responded with a smile, "I can have a meal with Sister Lin then."

"That's good." Lin Daiyu went back to sit next to Jiamu, and said with a smile, "I don't have any sisters at home. I heard that some cousins ​​are good at poetry and painting, and they have their own strengths. They are so clear and meaningful." In Xiu’s daughter’s house, only my grandmother can teach her.”

Tanchun laughed and said, "It turns out that only Sister Feng here can speak kindly, but here comes Sister Lin, who is even more talkative. It can be seen that there are people outside of people, and there are mountains outside of mountains." The big guys were amused.

Lin Daiyu smiled and took Jia Mu's arm, and said in a soft voice, "Grandma, I brought a lot of gadgets from home, for my sisters, it would be nice to let them go to my yard to pick some things to play with." ?”

Jia Mu was happy to get the girls close, and said with a smile, "It can be seen that I dislike my old woman."

"No way, we left our second cousin to be a filial piety, and let my grandmother make fun of me."

Baoyu smiled and said, "It can be seen that sister Lin is partial. The sisters have it, but I don't. I will not follow it."

Lin Daiyu's bright eyes turned, and Jia Baoyu was almost stunned. Lin Daiyu sneered in her heart, and her face was still full of smiles, "Second cousin just waits for Jinyu to come back and ask him for it. I can take care of the matters between you brothers." No. Sister Yingchun, Sister Tanchun, Sister Xichun, Sister Baochai, let’s go.”

A few girls went with Daiyu with smiles and smiles, and Baoyu was cheeky to follow. Mrs. Wang said, "Baoyu, sisters have their own whispers. Your father said that he will check your homework today. You can do it." alright?"

Jia Baoyu instantly felt a basin of icy water pouring down his head, shivered, his face became limp, and his body became stiff. Jia's mother had long been dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang's words and deeds today, and said coldly, "It's so good that you scare me." What is he doing? Don’t you know that Baoyu is timid? Good boy, go, have fun with your sisters, tell me when your father comes back, let him know why he dare not look for you.”

Wang Xifeng was a clear-sighted person, she took Jia Baoyu's hand with a smile and said, "Brother Bao put away your appearance, come on, I'll take you there, and see what good things Sister Lin has?"

Jia Baoyu just laughed, bowed to Mrs. Jiamu Wang, and left with Wang Xifeng.

As soon as the people in the room dispersed, Mother Jia's face was covered with frost, and she said coldly, "You are also the mother of the imperial concubine, you speak so carelessly, you are afraid that you will be laughed at to death when you go out! It is impossible to make the imperial concubine look good!"

"Old lady calm down, the daughter-in-law is the most clumsy." Mrs. Wang got up and said in a low voice.

Mother Jia snorted coldly, "I know that I know I have a clumsy mouth and cheeks, so I don't need to speak much. Daiyu Jinyu is the grandson of my Jia family's direct relatives. I know your shady thoughts, and you should also think about it. Brother support! Go, you don’t have to come here today!”

Madam Wang left in a cold sweat.
