The Rebirth of Daiyu in the Red Chamber

Yinzhen's visit to Yangzhou was just a leisurely inspection job, seeing the old monk Huiyuan who ran from Huguo Temple to Qiling Temple was just passing by, inspecting officials on behalf of the emperor was a serious matter, and inspecting the salt road was the most important thing.

Lin Hai had received the governor sent by the emperor more than once, but this time he did not expect the fourth elder brother to come in person. He has always been experienced in official affairs, and the Holy One is satisfied, so he is not afraid that the rigorous fourth elder brother will find out any mistakes.What worries Lin Hai is that the fourth elder brother has always been close to the prince, and he is afraid that the prince wants to win him over.

Fortunately, Yinzhen didn't mention a few words other than official business from the beginning to the end, which made Lin Hai heave a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, on the second day after taking a rest, Yinzhen came to the Lin Mansion again, this time not empty-handed, he brought some gifts, and he was dressed in a lot more homely clothes than last time, a stone-green robe made of cloth, like a scholar.

Lin Haidao, "Fourth Master, what is this?"

"Master Lin, this time I am not here for official business, but to apologize to Ling Qianjin."

When Yinzhen mentioned his daughter, Lin Hai almost broke out in a cold sweat.

Yinzhen said, "A special came to apologize to Master Lin. I went to Qiling Temple to visit Master Huiyuan the day before yesterday. I accidentally bumped into Miss Lin on the way. Fortunately, Miss Lin didn't blame her, otherwise I would have died."

Lin Daiyu never mentioned it to Lin Hai, he was a bit confused, so he could only laugh and apologize, "She's a little girl, what is the blame?" She decided to go back and ask, it's not a good thing to have a relationship with the fourth elder brother, it's best to even Do not even see.

Yinzhen said, "Ah, by the way, I have to go to Master Cui's house."

Lin Hai, "Do you want to be an official and accompany Fourth Master?"

Yinzhen smiled and said, "That's exactly what I mean. It's really a headache to reveal my identity to Cui Tongzhi." Just like last time, he was almost kidnapped by others. Although he was unhappy, he couldn't be as knowledgeable as Mrs. Tongzhi .

Lin Hai thought about Cui Tongzhi's family, and thought that it was indeed worth the headache.

Because of Xiumu, Lin Hai and Yinzhen met in the small study this time, and it happened that Lin Daiyu and Lin Qiong came to find Lin Hai hand in hand.Manchus don't pay much attention to male and female defense, not to mention that Lin Daiyu is only four years old, Lin Hai seems to have no reason not to let her in.

The two younger sisters walked into the study hand in hand, Lin Daiyu saw Yinzhen with sharp eyes, and saluted Yinzhen, "Hello, father, hello Mr. Luo."

Lin Qiong was slightly taken aback. Lin Daiyu knew the future Yongzheng Lord?

Lin Hai pretended to be displeased, and was about to speak when Yinzhen gave him a wink and said, "Miss Lin, are you all right?"

Lin Daiyu answered very well, and the two came back and forth, leaving Lin Qiong behind.

For some reason, when Yinzhen saw Lin Daiyu's thin body, he wanted to ask if Lin Daiyu was recovering from his illness, but Lin Daiyu blinked at him, and then changed his words, "It is said that the water in Qiling Temple is good for making tea, but I have no chance to drink it." , it’s not as good as Mr. Lin.” He was originally a lonely person, and he rarely talked to others, so Lin Daiyu must have caught his eye.

Lin Daiyu smiled gratefully at him, which seemed to be partisan, "I believe my father will not begrudge a little water."

Of course Lin Hai didn't, he hurriedly took the spring water from the shelf himself, the small tea stove and tea set were ready-made in the study, and he didn't call anyone, he poured the water and boiled it himself.

The tea leaves are gifts brought by Yinzhen, the Mingqian Longjing in West Lake that Lin Daiyu praised last time.

As expected of being a Tanhua Lang, Lin Hai's tea making skills are smooth and smooth, and he quickly poured a cup of tea for everyone.

After Yinzhen came to Yangzhou, he has been busy with official duties. Although he has good tea and water, he has no heart for leisure, so what he just said is true.It was the first time to drink tea made by the fifth spring in the world, and Lin Hai's tea art is very good, and I secretly praised it.

Lin Hai stroking his beard with a smile on his face, he couldn't help but think about sending the fourth elder brother away as soon as possible, and let him stay away from his daughter.They "almost collided" when they first met, which shows that the rumors in Beijing are true.

Lin Qiong has been forgotten since he came in. Firstly, he was afraid of seeing the future Emperor Yongzheng, secondly, he was afraid of his own father, and thirdly, he was still afraid of such elegant things as making tea. He only knows how to drink tea. He kept his mouth shut.

At this time, the already gloomy weather began to patter again, and thunder clacked and thundered. Lin Daiyu looked out of the window, and when she turned back, she met Shang Yinzhen's eyes again, remembering that there was rain, thunder, and tea last time, so Thinking of the fact that she has a lot of fate with this Mr. Luo, according to Lin Qiong's words, it was because of the worn out shoulders in the previous life, she couldn't help laughing, revealing two small but playful dimples.

Yinzhen froze for a moment, seeing the little girl's cheerful smile, he couldn't help but be infected, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but was immediately suppressed, returning to his previous serious expression.

Relying on her young age at this time, Lin Daiyu didn't need to avoid suspicion, and said, "Last time I talked about plums with my husband. I really picked a lot of plums. I just brewed them not long ago. I am afraid that my husband will be in Weiyang soon. Now I will give him two altars to take with me. , it can be regarded as a little shelter from the rain and a gift of tea." Although the plum wine is not expensive, it is made by herself, which is a kindness.

Yinzhen nodded his thanks.

In Lin Hai's eyes, the conversation between the two was extremely worrying, and he didn't dare to show it on his face, but in fact his beard was almost bald.

Naturally, lunch was reserved at noon, so Lin Hai was afraid that Jia Min in the main courtyard would be lonely, so he asked Lin Daiyu to go back to accompany his mother, and he brought Lin Qiong to invite Yinzhen to a banquet in the front courtyard.

Lin Daiyu was full of doubts, usually her father wished that she would be far away from the main courtyard, what happened today?Treat Mr. Luo as a scourge?

Although Lin Hai tried his best to conceal his eagerness to keep him away from the little girl of the Lin family, Yinzhen was clear in his heart, and there was nothing unhappy about it, it was just funny, and this master was too careful, but she was only a four-year-old girl, and she had no chance. For no reason, it can still be overcome by oneself.

Before leaving, there was indeed a servant girl waiting at the door of the dining room with a large box, saying that it was plum wine given by the girl. Yinzhen asked the servant Li Qiu to take it, thinking that this time when he returned to Beijing, he would bring some inexpensive but interesting and delicate wines from Weiyang. It's also really good for the emperor's father, mother-in-law and brothers.

After Lin Hai had eaten, he didn't care about anything else, so he went straight to Lin Daiyu's house.

Lin Daiyu was holding a book of three-character scriptures to teach a strange boy to read. Lin Hai knew that this was the child brought back by Lin Qiong. He held his hand and asked a few questions carefully, and then said that he would invite the teacher to teach the two children, and he seemed to take it very seriously.In the past when there was only Lin Qiong, he taught by himself, but now the two children must be too busy, so it is inevitable to hire a reliable teacher to teach.

Seeing that Lin Hai didn't seem to reject Lin Xiang, Lin Daiyu was also happy. There was another younger brother in the family, and the future would be lively.

Lin Haidao, "Xiang'er, since you came to my house, you are related to my Lin family, how about calling me foster father in the future?" He thought, he couldn't let this child stay in his house for no reason in the future, what would he say during the imperial examination Well, it's better to adopt an adopted son and count it as one's own family.

With tears in his eyes, Lin Xiang immediately prostrated himself at Lin Hai's feet, calling him foster father.The waiter in the room, Chun Jing, was clever, and hurriedly brought a teacup to Lin Qu, and Lin Qu offered it to Lin Hai, and Lin Hai drank it.

Lin Hai smiled and said, "Good boy, get up." He bent down and helped Lin Xiang up.

"In the past, I didn't remember the date of birth, nor where I came from. Now that I've come to our house, I can't stay confused in the future." Lin Hai pondered for a moment, "Well, I think you are small in stature, but your skeleton seems to be already there. Seven years old, let’s count it as your birthday in the year of Wuchen, if you come to our house on the seventh day of June, it will be counted as your birthday. As a father, I will give you another name, which is called Wuhen.”

There is no trace, the past is over, there is no trace.

Lin Xiang thanks again.

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Daddy likes you very much, Yu'er and Qiong'er haven't got a name yet." She was really surprised, this child looked only a little taller than Lin Qiong, and was only a bone thin, It turned out to be seven years old, and I couldn't help feeling sad.

The characters should have been for adults and post-age, but Lin Hai wanted to pick them up for Lin Qu in advance to express his importance.A child who lived alone in the marketplace before the age of seven, it's fine if he doesn't know him, but now he's his own person, don't you feel sorry for him.

"From now on," Lin Hai concluded, "Wuhen will be Yu'er and Qiong'er's elder brother."

Lin Daiyu: "..."

Lin Qiong who just ran over to hear the bad news: "..." What the hell, this happened so suddenly, please give me time to prepare mentally.
