Lin Xuan of the Red Chamber

Not to mention Lin Ruhai's confusion and incomprehension, but to say that after Lin Xuan took Lin Daiyu out of Lin Ruhai's study, he went straight to the housekeeper.Because Hangzhou is far away from the capital, and Gusu also needs to save some manpower, so Lin Ruhai and others only brought some personal servants and maids to the capital this time, and did not bring other servants.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan, the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion, is a considerate person, and he has long been prepared for this situation. He bought a lot of maidservants with clean net worth in advance. In addition, the mansion of the Lin Mansion in the capital originally had There are quite a few servants, otherwise Lin Ruhai and others may face the embarrassing situation of insufficient staff at home.

It's even better now, you don't need to prepare in advance, you can go to the housekeeper and let Lin Daiyu start selecting candidates directly, otherwise you have to prepare, Shen Shuang has some scruples and refuses to meddle in Lin Daiyu's affairs easily, Lin Xuan will have to do it himself Come, it is also a very troublesome thing.

Without staying too long, Lin Daiyu asked Lin Daiyu to pick a few handsome girls, and after looking at the clever little girls, she asked the housekeeper to take them to Lin Daiyu's yard.And he himself took Lin Daiyu to walk around the Lin Mansion twice, which was to let Lin Daiyu get acquainted with the environment, and when Lin Xuan felt that the shopping was almost done, he sent Lin Daiyu back to the yard directly.

Of course, Lin Xuan didn't leave right away, but stayed in the yard to help Lin Daiyu make some arrangements. Lin Xuan did this not only because of Lin Ruhai's orders, but he didn't want outsiders to see the joke. Lin Daiyu Anyway, she is also his biological sister in name, and even if she doesn't think so in her heart, she has to do something similar on the surface.

With this arrangement, it was getting late when Lin Xuan went to Lin Junyao's place again. Before Lin Xuan sat down for a while, Lin Ruhai sent someone over there to ask them to have dinner.

Helpless, Lin Ruhai sent someone to call, and the brother and sister could only put down the topic of their happy chat and went to the main hall together.

When Lin Xuan and Lin Junyao arrived, Shen Shuang and Lin Ruhai were already sitting there. Seeing the two of them coming together, a smile flashed in Shen Shuang's eyes. Looking at the two of them, she said kindly: "Xuan'er , Junyao, you are here, sit down quickly, the food will be cold in a while."

For Shen Shuang, who has no children so far, Lin Xuan is her future support and should be treated well. Although Lin Junyao is a concubine, she has always been respectful to her, and she knows how to please her on weekdays. So Shen Shuang is also very good to Lin Junyao.

The opposite is Lin Daiyu. In fact, Shen Shuang didn't have any special feelings for Lin Daiyu at first. Lin Daiyu was the prostitute daughter left by Jia Min before.

Originally, according to the plan that Shen Shuang had discussed with her mother before she got married, before Shen Shuang had no children of her own, the three children of the Lin family had to be treated well.Even if you have your own children, your attitude towards these three people should be based on the situation at that time.

But sometimes it is really better to change quickly than to plan. Shen Shuang wanted to treat the three children well, but as soon as she entered the door, she heard that Lin Daiyu started to lose her temper with Lin Ruhai because Lin Ruhai married her, which made her father The relationship between the two women became rigid.Lin Daiyu opposed her so blatantly, Shen Shuang would be a ghost if she could be happy.

After that, seeing Mrs. Lin and Lin Ruhai's attitude towards her was even more so. From Shen Shuang's point of view, since Mrs. Lin and Lin Ruhai, who have the most say in the family, both recognized her, Lin Daiyu alone How could a mere junior question her existence of Shen Shuang.

That is to say, from that time on, Shen Shuang felt suffocated in her heart, no matter what she did, she had to try her best to make no mistakes, especially for Lin Xuan and Lin Junyao.She wants to let others know that no one can do better than her in the position of Mrs. Lin's family.

But what Shen Shuang didn't expect was that everyone saw her doing these things, Lin Ruhai respected her even more, and Lin Xuan and Lin Junyao also respected her more because of this.But Lin Daiyu is still like that, she has never admitted her mother's intentions all these years, and she has never sent a single letter, which made Shen Shuang feel aggrieved.

Although Shen Shuang thought that with her current position and identity, she no longer needed Lin Daiyu's acknowledgment, because her position in the Lin family had been completely stabilized, but whether she needed it was one thing, but whether she had it was another.

It's just that due to Lin Ruhai's love for Daiyu, Shen Shuang can't express this dissatisfaction, but that doesn't mean that Shen Shuang is a generous person, so now seeing Lin Xuan and Lin Junyao's deep relationship, and When the relationship with Lin Daiyu is average, Shen Shuang will naturally be very happy.

The opposite of her is Lin Ruhai. It's not that Lin Ruhai doesn't want to see Lin Xuan and Lin Junyao have a deep relationship, but he hopes that Lin Xuan will have a deep relationship with Lin Junyao and at the same time add Lin Daiyu.To put it simply, Lin Ruhai hoped that Lin Junyao and Lin Xuan's small group of two could add another person to form a small group of three, so that Lin Daiyu could better integrate into the current new family.

Lin Ruhai's thoughts were good, but he ignored Lin Junyao's thoughts, and thus also ignored Lin Xuan's attitude. More importantly, he forgot the little conflicts between Daiyu and his current wife.

In other words, Lin Ruhai didn't want to understand these things subconsciously, because before Daiyu came back, his family had always been stable and harmonious.He is not willing to destroy this stability and harmony just because of one Daiyu. What he hopes to see is that Daiyu can smoothly integrate into this big family, so that everything will be as before.

It is inconceivable that this kind of fledgling mentality would appear in the officialdom like a fish in water, and Lin Ruhai, who is already on the verge of becoming an extremely powerful minister.Perhaps it is in response to the saying that it is difficult for an honest official to decide on housework. No matter how powerful or shrewd a person is, there is nothing he can do when facing the closest people around him.

The topic got a bit off topic, so I turned my gaze back. Not long after Lin Xuan and Lin Junyao had just sat down, Lin Daiyu, who had been summoned by Lin Ruhai, finally arrived. This small family banquet organized by Lin Ruhai finally started up.

Although the Lin family is a Gusu family, but because of its small population, there are not many masters in total, so those unnecessary rules can be saved here, including eating and sleeping. rules.

Seeing Lin Daiyu's arrival, Shen Shuang, who saw this daughter of the Lin family's concubine for the first time, smiled very kindly, and could not see a trace of dissatisfaction with Lin Daiyu. Yu, looks like a kind elder.

In contrast, Lin Daiyu's attitude seemed a little colder, which is no wonder, Lin Daiyu is not Lin Xuan, knowing that Jia Min is not her own mother, she can accept Shen Shuang's existence calmly.

Based on the relationship between Lin Daiyu and Jia Min, it is doomed that she will not have a good impression of the person who replaced her mother.Now, because of Lin Ruhai's father, Lin Daiyu had no choice but to accept Shen Shuang's existence, but with her character, it was naturally impossible for her to treat Shen Shuang like Lin Xuan and Lin Junyao.

It is not wrong to say that, since ancient times, many of the original sons and daughters have been very hostile and indifferent to their stepmothers, and those stepmothers can't do anything to them due to various reasons.

But the crux of the problem lies in this. The legitimate sons and daughters dared to do that because they were confident that the stepmothers could do nothing to them.But now that Lin Daiyu has just returned to the Lin family, and when the status of the Lin family is not yet stable, it would be too unwise to rashly offend the mistress of the house, even if she is protected by Lin Ruhai, the head of the family.

Regarding this, Lin Xuan sighed in his heart, looked at Shen Shuang's face with a gentler smile, and said with emotion that Daiyu's life would be difficult in the future.Afterwards, he happily picked up the wine glass in front of him, and started his rare career in theater watching.

Lin Junyao turned her big watery eyes, and quickly caught the unusual atmosphere in front of her. Don't underestimate this little girl, she is not a simple character. Lin Xuan doesn't like that kind of single cell biological people.

As a concubine, Lin Junyao's current status is not only due to the favor of Lin Ruhai and Lin Xuan, but it is not convenient for Lin Ruhai to interfere with the affairs of the inner house, and it's not like Lin Xuan stays at the Lin family all the time. .

During the years when Lin Xuan went abroad to study, Lin Junyao was able to keep her status unchanged and win Shen Shuang's favor, so her thoughtfulness and calculation can be seen.

People in the world say that the children of the poor are the ones who become the masters of the family early, but in Lin Xuan's view, these young ladies and young masters who were born in the families of high officials and dignitaries are the real precocious.Xiao Douding, who is only three or four years old, knows how to please others and strive for benefits for herself. Lin Junyao is a concubine, even if she is taken care of by Lin Xuan, there are some places that Lin Xuan can't take care of, so Lin Junyao also I have suffered some grievances.

But people can only grow if they have experienced it. If Lin Junyao has always been well protected by Lin Xuan, then she will be no different from the current Lin Daiyu.

In that case, even with Lin Xuan present, it would not be an easy task for Lin Junyao to gain the status and favor in front of her, as well as the respect of those servants.

Regarding this point, Lin Xuan is too clear. To truly love someone is to let her experience and grow, so that she has the power to protect herself.Because, no matter in any world, it is impossible for a person to stay with another person all the time.

Therefore, although Lin Ruhai is the real master of the current Lin Mansion, if it is to be subdivided, there are four forces.The one is naturally Lin Ruhai. Of course, his power is the greatest, but to some extent he is also the smallest. As for why, this needs to be understood by everyone.

Besides Lin Ruhai, Shen Shuang was naturally the most powerful in the Lin family, after all, she had an innate advantage.As for private matters, one can know that Shen Shuang is naturally impossible to beat Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan tried his best to lay out a network of influence outside, so how could he let go of his base camp? Woolen cloth.

As for the rest is Lin Junyao, although the little girl is inherently weak, not as good as the others, but it is still very easy to buy a few loyal servants with her cleverness and wisdom, not to mention Lin Xuan secretly helping her. looking at her.

Speaking of which, everyone may think how the Lin family has become like the Jia family, each has its own secrets and forces.In fact, this is also very understandable, and not only the Lin family and the Jia family, but also any big family. It's just that smart people don't expose their internal conflicts to others like the Jia family.

In this day and age, even in your own home, you must have some strength of your own, otherwise, relying entirely on others, like Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, no one will really respect you, your own freedom, your own status You have to fight for it yourself.
