The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

The weather was getting warmer, and Daiyu finally changed out of her jacket. She was keeping her father's filial piety. She originally wanted to wear white, but her health was not good since she was a child, and she had many taboos. The new brother asked someone to make clothes for her. At that time, I mentioned: "It doesn't have to be white, just don't make red and yellow too bright, my sister is still young." Therefore, the new clothes are still blue and green, without a trace of pattern. Most of the jewelry is silver and sapphire.

When Jia Min went there, because she was staying at her grandmother's house, she didn't dare to wear a filial piety because she was afraid that her aunt would be taboo.But now that the new elder brother has taken the lead in wearing white, Daiyu has lost those taboos.

Although I am grateful for my brother's filial piety, I still feel uneasy about this strange brother.

The elders of Lin's family and his father's colleagues said that this young man passed three grades and his essay was praised by all the examiners.Looking at it now, no matter how good your conduct is, it is not perfunctory to pass it on to your father.When it comes to pomp and circumstance, he arranges everything in an orderly manner.And the most outstanding one is probably the verbal battle with Jia Lian in the mourning hall.

Daiyu didn't know how they made the distinction, but she only knew that Lian's second cousin, who was always eloquent, had to put down everything at hand, and after that, the Lin family would preside over her father's funeral.

This elder brother was said to be only two years older than Baoyu, but when he put on a straight face, his eyes were like knives, screaming ferociously, peeling away the false illusion that the Rongguo Mansion set up for a little girl.

So sharp.

Daiyu had never seen such a powerful young man.Even her uncle may not have such a calm and calm style of dealing with things.He did things neatly, and within a few days, all the servants of the Lin family bowed their heads respectfully to him.

The elder brother is the eldest son of the Lin family in Shandong. Although he is an adopted son, he treats his adoptive parents extremely filially, and they treat him very well. It is said that when the family property is divided, he and the two biological children are divided equally.Not even one of the uncles neglected.He is no different from the biological son of the Lin family.

And now, this person passed to his father.Daiyu thought to herself, they have only known each other for a few days, can it compare to the ten years that the Lin family treated him like their own?Moreover, I am only a little girl, so I can't love him as much as the other side, and I even have to trouble the young man to take care of it for me.

Would he find it troublesome?Do you think you are a burden, as the servants of your grandmother's family said?

"We'll meet some clan uncles tomorrow, and we'll be back in Beijing in a few days." Lin Mo came over with some books and piled them all up in front of Daiyu, "This is what I summed up with the manager. The farm property left by my father, my sister will go through it first. If there is something wrong, let's count it again."

Daiyu had only met this cheap brother for a few days, and then she had to deal with her father's funeral - finally, a son held banners and threw tiles for Lin Qing, and Lin Ruhai's funeral was also handled in a decent manner.As the son's paper delivery, as the daughter's burning paper, he can be considered to have both sons and daughters after all.Those who came to pay their respects only saw that the youngest daughter was weak and weak, crying so badly that her description was ruined, and the son was only a thin and frail young man, and the Lin family was scattered, and he would have no support in the officialdom in the future.

The Lin family was originally from Shandong, and their ancestors moved to the south of the Yangtze River. Although the population is small, it is a family that has been enshrined as a marquis, and the two brothers and sisters also have clan members.Lin Hai died in office, and they helped the spirit to return home.After counting the family property, Daiyu knew why Jia Lian refused to let his father be buried in his homeland.But even though they have only known each other for a few days, since he passed to his father, this elder brother is more qualified to inherit the family property than herself, so Daiyu said: "It's all up to the elder brother to decide."

"People have to have some backing. I mean, let's lend my father's old house in Gusu to the clansmen to live in. Firstly, it will not wither, and secondly, we can do our best." Lin Mo said, "The rest, sister Check to see if there are any omissions, then it will be counted as my sister's dowry."

"Brother?!" Wang Momo looked happy, and Daiyu was surprised and amazed.

Having met the family members, the two families researched the genealogy and discovered that Lin Qing, Lin Moxian's adoptive father, had the same root as the Lin family here. The family members benefited from him, and knew that he was the number one scholar in the new family, and that after five generations, he would still be the number one scholar. To win the title - two grades higher than the title of Lin Hai's father, and although there are not many officials in the Shandong family, there is no shortage of fame and family property.I am willing to be intimate with him.

It's just that the family uncles are getting closer to him, but the younger sister is still a little hesitant.Although she was even afraid of her young, calm and high-ranking elder brother, when her grandmother advised her to stay in Rongguo Mansion, she still shook her head.

The Lin family now has a descendant.She needs to be with her father's descendants.

Two trees make a forest, and a single tree has no support.

The Jingyuanhou Mansion has not yet been repaired, and they still live in the Zhuangyuan Mansion.The place is not big, but fortunately, the two brothers and sisters are not crowded.

Lin Mo called a few girls, one of them was Wen Ge, who was a few months older than Zi Juan. Daiyu couldn't help feeling at ease.

The tastes of the two brothers and sisters are very different, Lin Mo sees that Daiyu has to get up early every day to rush Zaolu to have breakfast with him, but he suggests that there is no need to be so troublesome in the future, so the chances of the two meeting each other become less and less, he is not Baoyu Such a temperament that loves to play with girls, when he has free time, he would rather hide in the study and read a book.The two brothers and sisters are not too close.

The weather was exceptionally good that day, with wind and sun, but not in the sun, Wen Ge suggested: "Miss, let's go fly a kite too, to get rid of the sickness."

The maids applauded repeatedly, Daiyu saw that the maids were very excited, although she felt that it was not interesting to release the paper kite by herself, but it was good to have these maids to accompany her.

Wen Ge has a pair of dexterous hands. He personally drew a big and vivid butterfly, cut out the paper to paste the frame, and painted beautiful eyes. It looks no different from the one made by a professional.

Daiyu smiled and asked, "Can you make a peony kite?"

"I can't draw it." Wen Ge drew with a pen, "I can draw like the one on the clothes."

"I'll draw for you, can you make one for me?" Daiyu asked.

Wen Ge hurriedly said: "Of course."

The little girls in a courtyard were all happily busy, and you made a big and big kite together lively and lively. The color is good and the shape is also beautiful. Words of peace.Several maids carried Daiyu to the courtyard to fly a kite.

The wind was just right, even though they were all girls, they also struggled to fly up, but they couldn't run fast, after the gust of wind passed, the struggling feeling in their hands gradually disappeared.

"Oh, it fell." Daiyu said.

Wen Ge regretfully said: "The gust of wind is still not strong enough - we have to wait. Fortunately, it hasn't drifted away yet, so I'll pick it up."

Xueyan was happy and said: "I'll go." Just as she was about to run over, she saw the peony kite dangling and hanging on a ginkgo tree in the yard.

The tree was less than 100 years old, and because it hadn't been grafted, it didn't fail to bear fruit. It grew as tall as a cloud, and the snow geese jumped twice, and it was still a long way from the shortest branch.

If it was an ordinary kite, it would be lost if it was lost, but it was painted by Daiyu herself and made by everyone together, so it is very precious, not to mention it still needs to be unlucky. Half-worn household clothes are coming to the yard here.

"It's letting go of bad luck." Lin Mo raised his head, stretched out his hand to try the height again, then turned his head and smiled at Daiyu, "You won't let it go? But this, you still have to let it go, it's better than the boy Interesting."

When Daiyu saw her brother coming, she hurriedly came up with her skirt, thinking about how to answer, when Lin Mo leaned over and hugged her calf.

"Ah—" she yelled in panic, and Lin Mo stood up holding her firmly: "This should be enough, is it here?"

She was stunned for a while before she subconsciously said, "Go further south."

Lin Mo looked thin and weak, but his strength was much stronger than the girls imagined.

Daiyu reached out to take the kite off, supported her brother's neck, and was easily put back on the ground by him, her face blushing.

"Oh, Wen Ge's craftsmanship." Lin Mo looked at the paper kite in her hand, "This girl makes a kite, it looks good together, but in fact, it's always heavy on one side and light on the other. Let's go, I Get one for you."

The Zhuangyuan Lang, who is as handsome and tall as a poplar tree, turned out to be such a gentle and funny young man.He is not as coquettish and foolish as Baoyu, but a man with elegant demeanor and gentle conversation is easy to be liked by others, let alone Lin Mo who has good looks and literary talents.

On that day, Daiyu had just passed her 11th birthday, and she was still a child in stature, but because of the early death of her parents and the warmth and warmth of human relationships, she matured and seemed to be bigger than Baoyu.And her elder brother, who is four years older than her, is already the youngest number one scholar since the founding of the dynasty, and was granted the first-class title of Marquis of Jingyuan.The first official who left a strong mark in the history books later took the first step of his struggle - hibernation.And that year, the elegant prince who only existed in his uncle's mouth began to come and go frequently in their house.In the future, the mansion that Daiyu recognized as "home" also began to be built gradually.

Just like what Wen Ge wrote on the kite.

The painful days gradually passed, and everything was back on track.They seem to be beginning to be looked at differently by God.

Daiyu has always understood in her heart that it was not God's favor. It was never God's credit that she had a successful and wealthy decades, but only because she had a capable brother.

Even after many years, Princess Wu, who is already full of children and grandchildren, will still remember the first spring after the death of her loving father, when her brother, whom she was not familiar with at the time, lifted her up on the top of her head and asked her to reach out to pick the branches the kite.The elder brother's arms seemed to have accumulated infinite strength, which could lift her no matter how high the place was.Even if you want to go to heaven, it's easy.

That afternoon, the weather was really nice.
