Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 116 Lin Daiyu Enters Jia Mansion

"Young Master! Master, we've finally got you!" At this time, a man dressed as a servant squeezed out from the crowd.

Rushed to the Prince of Nan'an and Lin Ruhai.

"Master! Master, as soon as we received your letter we were ready. The house is ready. Here are the luggage."

"How about we move our luggage into the house first?"

When the Prince of Nan'an saw the boy, he asked in a low voice, "Are you Wei Jiu?"

"You dress up well! Did you learn this specifically?"

Wei Jiu bared his white teeth, "Master! In this capital, I am a chameleon."

"I want someone to carry the luggage?"

The Prince of Nan'an nodded.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min watched them whispering, thinking it was an arrangement by the Prince of Nan'an's Palace, and did not ask any questions.

Now that her son has returned to Beijing, it is only right and proper for Princess Nan'an, as a mother, to take a look at him.

This is probably the servant who came to pick me up.

A secret meeting between mother and son?

"Someone, come here, move the young master's luggage onto the car." Wei Jiu called out, and more than ten people came up behind him, starting to work with one box after another.

Lai Da from the Jia Mansion took a look and said, "What's going on? Are they going to start a robbery now?"

"Which house are you from?"

Wei Jiu said arrogantly, "Lin Mansion, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Lin Ruhai, Lin Mansion."

"That is the former Lin Family Marquisate!"

When these words were spoken, not only others, but even Lin Ruhai was shocked.

Who still remembers that the Lin family was once a marquisate?

The marquis’s house must have been reduced to ruins long ago, right?

Except for an old family member who came to look after the house, there was no one else in the mansion.

"Is there anyone else in the Lin family?"

"It's really new! Of course I have, but I went back to my ancestral home in Suzhou. Now I'm back."

"You don't know that the new Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Lin Ruhai, is a member of the Lin family."

"Really? Tell me more."

"Come! Come! Come! Let me tell you. This Lin Ruhai was once a top scholar in the imperial examination in the previous dynasty. He was the inspector of salt in Yangzhou and he was upright and incorruptible."

……

I don’t know why so many people who know Lin Ruhai so well suddenly appeared in the capital.

Add fuel to the fire among the crowd.

Lin Ruhai walked up to the Prince of Nan'an and asked, "Did you arrange all this?"

"Are we being too conspicuous?"

"There are so many nobles in the capital. If we make such a big show, won't we just be a target?"

The Lin family has always been thrifty and low-key, but now they are suddenly so high-profile.

Still at this city gate, so many pairs of eyes are watching.

No one else except the Prince of Nannan could do this.

The Prince of Nan'an looked at the tall city wall, his eyes like sharp swords, piercing through the palace and revealing the arrogance behind the curtain.

"Teacher! With your status in this capital, if you keep a low profile, you will die faster."

"What everyone in Yangzhou protects is money, while what everyone in Beijing protects is power from generation to generation."

“Whether it’s power or money, it’s all a network.”

"You and I have nothing to begin with. If we step into the capital at this time, you will either become a bug in the net and be eaten silently."

"Or you can be covered with thorns and pierce this net."

"Teacher! Tell me, which one are you?"

Lin Ruhai thought to himself, which one am I?

I want to be a wealthy and idle person who lives a peaceful life, reading and writing.

Can it work?

I'm already on the pirate ship, can I still get off?

When Lai Da saw that it was from his uncle's family, he couldn't stop it.

I'm just wondering, I haven't heard that there are still people from the Lin family in Beijing?

……

In front of the Yimen Gate of Rongguo Mansion in Beijing.

Several sedan chairs from the Lin family arrived at the door, and seemed to have brought Su Yang's warmth to the capital.

A warm breeze blew up.

"Mother!" Jia Min lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and saw her old mother waiting at the door. Her voice choked with sobs and she finally called out "Mother".

It has been more than ten years. I meet you in my dreams every time and wake up with tears on my face.

Meeting you today, I don’t know whether it was a dream or an illusion.

Lin Ruhai reached out and took Jia Min's hand, fearing that she would stumble and fall to the ground.

Because the lady's eyes were blurred by tears, and she was afraid that she couldn't see the road clearly.

At the entrance of Rongguo Mansion, the main gate was wide open, and Lady Jia, Mrs. Jia She, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, and several new brides all came out to greet them.

She looked like a young lady returning home.

It’s understandable that the wedding is a bit grand since they just returned to their parents’ home after more than ten years.

Lin Daiyu got off the sedan chair and looked at the plaque of Rongguo Mansion on the lintel.

I can't help but feel emotional.

Changed! Cao Xueqin, the author, has really changed.

In the original book of Dream of Red Mansions, Lin Daiyu rode in a sedan chair and entered the Jia Mansion through the west gate.

The only people he brought with him were an old man and a child, Nanny Wang and Xueyan.

How can one describe this feeling of being alone and helpless?

Now that my family is all here, although there are still not many servants, there are still four or five.

She saw Jia Min throw herself into her mother's arms and burst into tears like a tired bird returning to the forest.

No matter how old you are, you are still that little cotton-padded jacket when you are with your mother.

They are the flesh of the mother's heart and the tears on her face.

How can a tear wash away the longing between mother and daughter for more than ten years?

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" Grandmother Jia patted Jia Min's back and shed tears.

"You child, you child. You have been gone for more than ten years. You have plucked your mother's heart!"

"Don't you know how to look back? I'm really afraid that I won't be able to see you before I die!"

"I can't close my eyes without seeing you!"

When Lady Jia saw her daughter, she could not control her emotions and was extremely excited.

Everyone felt sad and didn't know how to comfort them.

"Old lady, although it is a happy occasion for mother and daughter to reunite, you can't monopolize my aunt by yourself. We are all lined up here, waiting to see her."

Wang Xifeng, who was dressed in gorgeous embroidery, was quick-witted and spoke quickly.

"Aunt can't just stay close to the old lady, share some of her love with us!"

"Look at all the people coming and going, and the ladies waiting, and the young ladies in the house, they are all looking forward to it."

When Jia Min heard this, she realized that she had lost her composure.

It is indeed a bit inappropriate to behave like a child in front of so many young people.

"This is Brother Lian's daughter-in-law, right? She is indeed an outstanding talent. No wonder mother praised her repeatedly in her letter."

Jia Min looked Wang Xifeng up and down, and found that she was indeed a pretty woman with a charming face and a cheerful and cheerful manner.

"Speaking of pampering, isn't Lian's daughter-in-law the first one to receive it?"

"When I got married, Lian Ge'er was still a baby, but now he has married such a good wife."

When Jia's mother saw that Wang Xifeng was being praised, she couldn't help but smile and also teased Wang Xifeng.

"It's your turn to talk again, aren't you afraid that I will tear your mouth apart?"

"Min'er, just call her Feng Yatou or Feng Lazi."

"Not a bit of the gentleness and tenderness of a girl."

As he spoke, he walked inside with the help of Jia Min and others.

"Old lady! In the past, I was really afraid that you would tear my mouth apart."

"I am not afraid of you now. I have my aunts to take care of me. There are two aunts. Who in this mansion is more impressive than me?"

Having said this, Wang Xifeng looked at her aunt, Mrs. Wang.

But Mrs. Wang's face was tense and her smile was forced.

Wang Xifeng paused her smile, took two quick steps, and subconsciously walked in front of Mrs. Wang.

The favored sister-in-law is back, so her aunt might feel a little uncomfortable, right?

The relationship between sisters-in-law and aunts has always been difficult to handle.

Lin Daiyu was also helped out of the sedan chair by the maid. She held Yong'an's hand and followed behind.

It was not yet time for them to salute.

I guess it's time for them to perform the ceremony when they get to the inner hall.

Wang Xifeng is indeed a social talent, able to deal with a large family of several hundred people with ease.

This is not easy.

It is said that no matter how many people there are in later generations who stay at home, I don’t want that.

If such a talent were placed in the future, he would at least be a middle-level manager in a company.

In Dream of the Red Chamber, his body was wrapped in a torn straw mat and buried in a mass grave in the heavy snow!

Looking at the prosperity now, who would have thought that in just ten years, it would be completely white and clean.

Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, with her own adult soul eyes,

It's good enough for the big families to maintain their reputation.

They all behave well and are like noble ladies.
