Lin Ruhai was dizzy and almost couldn't stand steadily.
He took a deep breath and said bitterly, "I thought that Daiyu was only going to his grandmother's house, and he was just a child, so people wouldn't like him if he was too ostentatious.
It would seem more intimate if it was simple … "He would always consider whether to give Daiyu something good when he got it. After all, Rongguo Province had everything. If he did too much, it might make the people in Rongguo Province think too much. He just didn't expect that his caution would make Daiyu difficult in Rongguo Province.
"Intimate? Who's intimate with her? "Jia Xie looked at Lin Ruhai as if she was looking at a naive fool.
"I'm a hooligan. My life isn't good, so I don't have the time to care about others. Anyway, I didn't see Daiyu when he first came. But I didn't see my good second brother who is close to you and Minmei either. The Wang Clan has always been on bad terms with Minmei.
As far as I know, she hates Minmei very much. Otherwise, she wouldn't have shown her power on Daiyu's first day. If you want her to take care of Daiyu, the sun will rise from the west. As for the old lady … "His expression suddenly became strange,
He laughed twice,
He said,
"She cherishes Daiyu very much. She treats him better than her own granddaughter. When Daiyu came, he didn't clean up the other courtyard for her,
He just let her sleep in the green screen cabinet in her courtyard. That green screen cabinet was originally for Baoyu to sleep in,
When Daiyu came,
He moved to the bed outside to sleep,
He hasn't moved out yet! "
Lin Ruhai's expression could be described as a riot of colors.
Shuijing was suddenly full of sympathy for him. Jia Xie didn't reincarnate well,
While Lin Ruhai was looking for his wife, he didn't notice that there was a group of people behind his wife. It seemed that when choosing a daughter-in-law in the future, she would have to investigate the other party's relatives within five generations, so as to avoid future troubles.
For the first time, Wen Dongyan suspected that there was something wrong with his memory. He carefully confirmed, "Baoyu is the child of Han Yu. He should be eight years old this year. And Brother Ruhai's daughter seems to be seven years old … Do you think they are still living together? "
According to the Book of Rites, men and women were not allowed to sit together at the age of seven. Generally speaking, even if they were siblings of the same father and mother, they could not live together in the same courtyard. No matter what, Rongguo Province was still a public house. Furthermore, it had been through two generations, so it would not be so unruly.
Wen Dongyan also thought that even Jia Xie, the master of Rongguo Province, could live in a side courtyard, while Jia Zheng, a fifth-rank Minister Counsellor, lived in Glory Hall to manage the household affairs. This was already very unruly. It wouldn't be surprising if there were more unruly things.
"Ai ai, Brother-in-law, why is your face like this?" Jia Xie pretended to be surprised and shouted, "Didn't you and Old Madam discuss to pair Daiyu and Baoyu together? Old Madam just wants them to be more familiar with each other so that when they get married in the future, they can be more harmonious. In fact, Old Madam is a bit worried for nothing. I heard that Baoyu fell in love with Daiyu when he first saw her and directly gave her a courtesy name, 'Pian Bao'. Now, the two words' Pian Bao 'are known both inside and outside of Rongguo Province! "
There was a saying in ancient times: It is said that one is allowed to marry at the right age. When a woman is allowed to marry, she will have a courtesy name. When she is not, she will be allowed to marry at the right age of twenty. Generally, a woman's courtesy name is given by her parents or elders. Moreover, when a woman has a courtesy name, she is usually already betrothed to someone. This is a disguised way to tell others that this girl is already taken and they should stop thinking about her. When Jia Baoyu gave Lin Daiyu a courtesy name, not to mention the fault of overstepping his authority, the meaning behind it was as if he was saying that she would be his woman in the future. Once this spread out, Lin Daiyu's reputation would be ruined and people would think that she was already betrothed to Jia Baoyu. When rich families were looking for a wife, they would automatically exclude Lin Daiyu from the list. In this way, Lin Daiyu could only hang herself on Jia Baoyu's tree. Otherwise, she could only walk the path of being accompanied by an oil lamp and a statue of Buddha or die.
"Why are you so angry at him?" Shuijing expressed that he was a good person and couldn't stand it. "You can tell that his health is not good just by looking at him. You said those words. Aren't you afraid that he will not be able to catch his breath and reunite with your sister directly?"
After Lin Ruhai fainted, Shuijing hurriedly asked someone to take him to the courtyard and asked the accompanying doctor to treat him. Originally, he had accumulated toxins in his body. Because of Jia Xie's words, he was fuming with anger. He could have lived for four or five years, but now he only had one or two years left.
"Hmph! I didn't exaggerate. " Jia Xie didn't feel guilty at all. "What I said was the truth. Every word is truer than gold. If I didn't tell him, how would he know what Daiyu's life is like in Rongguo Province? Ru Hai, that idiot, would send a lot of gifts to Rongguo Mansion every festival, but he didn't know that almost all of these gifts went into the pockets of the old madam and the second branch. Brother Lian and his housekeeper's stupid wife only took a little bit of sesame seeds and mung beans, and all the things that went into Rongguo Mansion's storeroom were all scrap metal. He was very careful when sending gifts. In the end, other than those people who handled the gifts, who else knew that he sent gifts to Rongguo Province? The most arrogant ones are the Wang Clan. They took the Lin family's money and treated the Lin family's daughter poorly. I guess they took revenge on Daiyu for all the losses they suffered from Minmei. She's already so old, but she still wants to bicker with a young child. I feel ashamed for her. I really should let Ruhai see her smug face. "
Shuijing looked at his unconvinced face. She thought for a bit and asked: "You didn't get a single penny from the gifts that Minister Lin sent to Rongguo Province, right?"
Rongguo Province was under the control of the second branch, so the gifts were naturally sent to the second branch. The fewer people there were, the better it was for the gifts to be divided. That way, everyone would get more. The Jia Lian couple and the Jia Xie couple weren't of one mind. It was possible that they secretly embezzled the gifts behind the Jia Xie's back.
As expected, Jia Xie's face was a bit embarrassed. She stubbornly said: "Who cares about those things? The dowry that Xianfang brought back was many times better than those. I just feel sorry for him. He was a sucker and was kept in the dark. "
"I think you're quite happy to talk about it. I don't see how you sympathize with him." Shuijing bluntly exposed, "Tell me, why did you tell him so much about Lin Daiyu? I don't think you suddenly want to vent your conscience and be a good uncle."
Jia Xie touched his nose and giggled foolishly, "After being a stepfather for so many years, it's not easy to be a biological father. I have to get her over first."
Lin Ruhai was unconscious for three days before he slowly woke up. The first thing he wanted to do when he woke up was to see Jia Xie.
Jia Xie seemed to have expected that Lin Ruhai would want to know something. She didn't wait for him to open her mouth and said in a profound manner: "I know what you want to ask. What I said to you before is absolutely true. I can point to the heavens and swear to it. If you still don't believe me, you can bring Daiyu back and ask Daiyu and the people around her. Then you'll know whether I'm telling the truth or not. "
Lin Ruhai actually already believed her. Jia Xie wouldn't joke about these things no matter how muddle-headed he was. It was just that this matter concerned Lin Daiyu's reputation and integrity. He subconsciously hoped that it wasn't true. He sent Lin Daiyu to Rongguo Province in the hope that Lin Daiyu would be raised to be a lady from a respectable family. In the future, it wouldn't be said that she was a woman who was sought after by thousands of families. He only hoped that she wouldn't be despised as a widow who didn't want to marry the eldest daughter. But now, things didn't develop in the direction he expected. Instead, things were getting worse.
Why did he send Daiyu to Rongguo Province in the first place?
Lin Ruhai wanted to slap himself.
But now that things had come to this, the only thing he could do was to quickly make up for his mistakes.
Lin Ruhai felt somewhat fortunate. Daiyu was only about seven years old now. It had only been a year since she went to Rongguo Province. Things shouldn't have developed to the point of no return yet. Even if there were rumors in the capital, he would find a husband for Daiyu in Yangzhou in the future and never enter the capital for the rest of her life.
"Brother-in-law, I can't thank you enough. This time, it's all thanks to you. If you didn't tell me, Daiyu's life would be over. When she comes back, we father and daughter will definitely thank you properly. "
Hearing what she wanted to hear, Jia Xie's heart bloomed with joy. But she pretended to be very surprised and said, "You're going to bring Daiyu home?"
"Of course," Lin Ruhai said solemnly, "After listening to Brother-in-law's words, how can I let Daiyu stay there?"
"If that's the case …" Jia Xie muttered, "Brother-in-law, when you send someone to pick her up, please write on the letter that you're dying and hope to see your niece one last time."
Lin Ruhai was surprised, "Why is that?"
"You don't know Old Madam's temperament, but I know how ruthless she is. If you only say that you want to bring your niece home, she definitely won't let her go. In addition, Baoyu will make a fuss if he knows that his niece is leaving. Unless you go to the capital yourself, you won't be able to see your niece for the rest of your life. If you say that you're dying, even if Old Madam doesn't want to, no matter how much trouble Baoyu makes, for the sake of etiquette, they have no choice but to let her go. "
It was really easy to send her away, but difficult to take her back!
Lin Ruhai sighed deeply, "Thank you for your reminder, Brother-in-law. Ruhai is eternally grateful."
"You're welcome." Jia Xie blinked, "When Daiyu comes back, you and your daughter will be reunited, and we can also reunite."
Lin Ruhai thought for a moment and sighed, "If that's the case, I'll have to trouble Brother Lian."
Jia Xie also smiled, "It's nothing. Sending Daiyu back is actually convenient. He's mainly here to see if you're still alive. "
Lin Ruhai, "…"
He took back his words. His brother-in-law was still an unlikable person.
