Back in Gusu, there is another important matter, which is to let the two aunts enter the ancestral graves of the Lin family.
Being able to fulfill the two people's wishes is a matter of great significance to Lin Yuyang. The memories of his childhood have faded little by little. In the past few years, he has been taken care of by his eldest sister, and he has not suffered at all. Now he is even more aware of it.
After returning to his ancestral home, his life has been led by his eldest sister to a completely different path.
He knelt behind his eldest sister, tears streaming down his face. It could be that he was mourning his birth mother or remembering the past. In short, his mood could not calm down.
Lin Yutong's expression was much calmer. She had no contact with her two aunts. In this little girl's memory, there was only the fear of losing her support. At that time, this child did not know what death was.
She kowtowed sincerely, then pulled her brother to stand up: "Okay! We have cried. They always hope that we are well. You are happy, and the people in the other world are relieved. Everyone has gone.
On that day, you can just treat it as a temporary separation."
Lin Yuyang sniffed and nodded.
Lin Ruhai looked at the pair of children and felt a little more guilty towards the two aunts. The tombs were well repaired, and this was the only thing he could do for them.
Lin Yutong looked at Jia Min's grave and thought: When they get down there, the three women are still unsure how to pinch it.
Lin Daiyu didn't come, saying she caught a cold. In fact, she felt embarrassed and hid.
The legitimate daughter had no reason to move her aunt's grave, but she was embarrassed to face her eldest sister and brother.
Lin Yutong could understand. She believed that the two aunts would not be happy to see their legitimate daughter appear.
After finishing the business, Lin Ruhai took her three children and returned directly to Yangzhou. Firstly, the New Year was coming, and secondly, there were still errands at the Yamen.
By the time we returned to Yangzhou, it was already the twelfth lunar month.
Lin Yuyang basically studies at home now, with Lin Ruhai giving personal guidance. This makes Lin Yutong quite satisfied. A famous teacher will definitely be of great help to students.
Lin Yutong was busy with New Year celebrations. The Lin family didn't have many relatives, but Lin Ruhai's colleagues still needed to come and go and pay homage. These couldn't be careless. She was so busy that her feet never touched the ground.
I originally asked Lin Daiyu to come with me to help, but after coming for two or three days, I made excuses not to come. I heard that I went to the study to review rare books. Lin Ruhai was not only not unhappy about this, but also liked it.
Maybe deep down, he hopes that his children will have some of his knowledge and freedom.
Lin Yuyang's goal in studying was very clear, it was for the imperial examination. In this way, it was somewhat utilitarian. Lin Ruhai was probably a little disappointed.
Lin Yutong felt that maybe he had gone awry in his younger brother's education. Life was difficult at that time, and even half a year's income could not buy enough books for the imperial examination. How dare he think of anything else.
She mentioned this to her younger brother in a vague way. Lin Yuyang was very tolerant and comforted him: "When you have fame, when can you not cultivate your sentiments?"
Lin Yutong didn't care. Different living environments create different personalities and pursuits. This is also a helpless thing.
She doesn't understand Sister Lin's aloofness, and maybe Sister Lin doesn't understand her worldliness either.
However, this does not prevent the two people from living together peacefully.
The new year has arrived in this family atmosphere. This is Lin Ruhai's happiest year. When he worships his ancestors, he finally doesn't have to be alone. Looking at the three children kneeling behind him, he feels worthy of the Lin family.
There are many ancestors. The Lin family has been passed down alone for several generations. They only have one son and not even an extra girl. Although they still have only one son now, they have two daughters at least.
His complexion looked rosy and healthy, and his smile was hearty. He gradually gained the demeanor of a Tanhualang.
Such a middle-aged handsome uncle suddenly threw a big thunder after the New Year's Eve dinner, catching Lin Yutong and Lin Yuyang off guard.
"After the first lunar month, my father will send you to Beijing." Lin Ruhai said calmly.
Lin Yutong thought he was hallucinating.
"Father, what did you say?" Lin Yutong asked involuntarily.
Lin Ruhai looked at the eldest daughter and sighed: "For your safety, my father has to send you to Beijing."
Lin Yutong knew that this involved the situation between the court and Jiangnan. She frowned and said, "Can't father resign?"
"Isn't this a silly thing?" Lin Ruhai knew that the eldest daughter was smart and well-versed in world affairs, so she explained: "When pushing a cart uphill, there is no room for letting go halfway. Unless you are exhausted, otherwise..."
"Father is afraid that we will become his weakness." Lin Yutong looked at Lin Ruhai and said.
"Destroying someone's wealth is like killing their parents. If they force the other party, they can't do anything." Lin Ruhai looked at the eldest daughter, "My father knows that you are capable, so I can only entrust Brother Yang and Daiyu to you."
"What about you, father?" Lin Yutong was a little flustered. With Lin Ruhai around, they all had shade. Without this person, they would have been able to protect themselves from the wind and rain.
He was partial and gave Sister Lin more attention. But Lin Yutong had to admit that in this world, both he and his brother needed this person alive.
Lin Yuyang looked at Lin Ruhai and clenched his fists, "Father, I will stay with you."
Lin Daiyu's eyes were already red, and she was sobbing softly. She was not stupid, so she naturally heard the danger contained in this.
Lin Ruhai's eyes turned red. The fact that the children could care about him so much made him feel soft and filled with something. He smiled and comforted him: "My father is sick this time, and the emperor only knows that my father is in this position."
"It's so important to go up. We've sent secret guards here. There's no risk of safety." Although you are not free, you can be safe and secure, and nothing else is important.
Seeing that the matter was irreversible, Lin Yutong asked: "I'm afraid my father won't trust us to live in our mansion in the capital."
Lin Ruhai looked at the capable eldest daughter, and then at the younger daughter who was crying and sobbing. She couldn't help sighing. At this time, the eldest daughter is more reassuring. He said: "The old lady of Rongguo Mansion has written again.
, I want to pick you up to live there for a while. My father thinks this is a good opportunity. No matter what happens in the mansion... at least there will be no problem in terms of safety."
Lin Yutong nodded, that's right. Lin Ruhai didn't trust the Jia family, but trusted the emperor. He sent it to the capital and under the emperor's eyes. The Jia family didn't dare to do anything extraordinary to them under the emperor's eyes.
Besides, none of the men in the Jia family have the brains to get involved in important matters. With the reputation of being a bastard, no one will let them know about important matters.
Therefore, compared to other places, it is considered the safest.
"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I will pack my things for the capital." Lin Yutong has never been a sad person. She always makes choices and arrangements rationally. Thinking of going to the capital, Lin Yutong couldn't help but ask: "Yang
What should I do with my brother’s studies?” She couldn’t trust the Jia family’s education.
Lin Ruhai really got to know this daughter. In just a short while, she had thought of so many arrangements. This child was like weeds and could grow anywhere. So he felt relieved.
"Bachelor's Mansion, Mr. Zhang Cheng, Mr. Zhang, is my father's cousin. He can also be regarded as your uncle. From now on, Brother Yang can go to the Zhang family to study." Lin Ruhai explained: "Father has already sent the letter.
We are considered close relatives, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about."
The Lin family also has such relatives. This old lady is not the old lady of the Lin family, her grandmother's cousin. It's really not that far of a relationship.
"Isn't there a lot of people moving around?" Lin Yutong asked tentatively. Anyway, there was no interaction on the gift list.
"The Zhang family and the Jia family have some quarrels. When my wife was here, they became more distant in the inner house." Lin Ruhai responded vaguely.
Lin Yutong understood. The alienation in the inner house proved that the relationship between them men had not been interrupted. Could it be that they deliberately avoided Jia Min? Who knows. Anyway, his siblings have nothing to do with Jia Min and even have enemies. The enemy of the enemy is a friend. The Zhang family
As long as you don't reject your younger brother, who cares if they have any quarrels with each other.
Lin Yuyang nodded to his elder sister and told her not to worry about him.
Lin Yutong smiled and changed the subject, talking about New Year greetings and entertaining guests.
It wasn't until the child was born that the family dispersed and went back to their houses to rest.
Lin Daiyu returned to the house, not sure what she was feeling. Jia family, is she going back again?
However, this time I am not alone. I am with my sister and accompanied by my brother. I am no longer alone.
But in my heart, is the Jia family still the same Jia family?
The words that the eldest sister said rang in her ears from time to time. She really couldn't look at the Jia family with her original mentality anymore.
Baoyu, he... Lin Daiyu sighed in her heart, people are like duckweeds, drifting with the water. Her father's current situation is not good, who knows what will happen tomorrow.
When Xue Yan heard that he was going back to Jia's house again, he felt a little unhappy.
Zijuan is smiling all over her face. She is always restrained in the Lin family, and she is nowhere as comfortable as the Jia family.
"Amitabha, I'm not sure how much the old lady misses you." Zijuan smiled and said, "Girls, do you need to prepare gifts for me and Baoyu in advance?"
Lin Daiyu said lazily: "Anyway, I have a sister. She has always been thorough in her conduct, who else could she have missed?"
"The eldest girl is a very capable person." Zijuan has learned to be smart now, and will no longer say anything bad about the Lin family. She said: "But what the girl prepares is naturally the girl's wish. It doesn't matter if it's just a piece of grass or a piece of grass.
A piece of paper, a painting, a handkerchief. It's also the girl's wish. Isn't it possible that no one in our family would use money to measure it?"
Lin Daiyu couldn't help but think of the account books she had read. Her face turned red with embarrassment. She never expected that her mother had given so many gifts to the Jia family.
She had seen it with her own eyes that the Jia family was rich and lived a luxurious life. Unexpectedly, the Lin family had given so much, and now the Jia family was in a situation that was almost unsustainable. She didn't understand it before, but now after listening to her sister's housekeeper several times, she has
Now I understand why the monthly reports are always late in the Jia family.
She has never valued money, and she doesn't feel bad about the money given to the Jia family, but she can't help but worry about the future of the Jia family. The old lady is old, and her sisters are also very good, and Baoyu...
