Love in the Red Chamber

Chapter 24

At the end there are some messy graffiti, which should be painted by Daiyu.

He closed his eyes, and he could imagine the family painting together inside, it was so warm and sweet, and how many people would be envious.It's a pity... In the end, it's forever.

"Second Master, Second Master, the imperial decree is here." The boy's voice interrupted his thoughts, and then moved the inkstone to close the mural, Jia Baoyu adjusted his clothes and went out.

Now that Lin Ruhai is in a coma, Daiyu is exhausted taking care of her father all day long, and he handles almost all the big and small things in the house. Really... Do you really think of yourself as the Lin family?

The person who came was a eunuch, judging by the color of his clothes, he was a senior father-in-law.Lin Ruhai's personal servant told him that the father-in-law's surname was Cai, and he was a celebrity around the emperor.

Sighing secretly that the royal family really looked at the Lin family differently, Jia Baoyu knelt down respectfully to accept the order.

Eunuch Cai read the imperial decree with a high-pitched voice. Although the voice made him sick, the content of the imperial decree really excited him.

The eunuch chirped a lot of nonsense, all in all it meant the same thing.

Jia Baoyu is a talent that can be created. He was recommended by Lin Ruhai and called to accompany the prince to study.

In this way, how about entering the palace together? !

Excitement was mixed with excitement, and he vaguely understood Lin Ruhai's intentions.He is just paving the way for himself!Just like him back then, he was the prince's accompanying student, so the disciple he had his eye on—he formally accepted Jia Baoyu as his apprentice two months ago—could also be the prince's accompanying student.

Accompanied by the prince, the future is boundless.

Resisting the excitement in his heart, Jia Baoyu was about to receive an order to thank him, but was stopped by Eunuch Cai.

"Wait a minute, young master. There is still an imperial edict here. Mr. Lin is not feeling well. Please, young master, take the order on your behalf."

?Shouldn't Daiyu come?How is it yourself?

Looking at Eunuch Cai's old face with a ball of laughter, he suppressed the doubts in his heart and listened.

He swore that this was the most exciting and happiest will in his life, and it rang in his ears like a thunderbolt.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor said, Lin Ruhai is the pillar of my friend and country, and now I have a special decree to marry Jia Baoyu and Lin's Daiyu from the Rongguo Mansion. The wedding date is self-determined, and the date of the decree is self-determined. All my friends. Heart……"

All of the following are the emperor's concern and greetings to Lin Ruhai, and the faint sadness revealed is enough to see the feelings of the two.

However, Jia Baoyu thought too much without flaws, and repeated a sentence in his mind, "Give marriage to Jia Baoyu of the Rongguo Mansion, Lin's Daiyu".

Sister Lin, will she become her fiancée?Or is the marriage bestowed by the emperor, and no one can stop it?This is what Lin Ruhai said, compensation for her daughter?

Thinking wildly, he forgot about Shane.Hearing Eunuch Cai cough with a smile that was not a smile, he immediately returned to his senses.

Take a deep breath and let yourself calm down.He raised a confident smile, "Grassman, please thank you."

While he was happy, he heard Xueyan's crying voice getting closer and closer, "Second Master, Second Master, it's not good! Second Master!!"

A bad premonition rose from the bottom of my heart, and the joy before was gone.That Eunuch Cai also put away his smile, and looked at Xueyan with a stiff face.

"Second Master Bao! I'm afraid the master is in trouble. The girl is about to faint from crying. Go and have a look!"

Jia Baoyu got up abruptly, pursed his lips, and ran out as soon as he confessed to Eunuch Cai.

Lin Ruhai, who had collapsed from illness, looked very old, with a sallow complexion, and there was not even a little bit of the rich spirit like jade in the murals.But his expression was unexpectedly calm, he just looked at Daiyu with a little distress and reluctance.And what about Daiyu?Even though he understood his father's heart, even though he tried to persuade him to help his father again and again, but when things came to an end, his heart was still pierced by a knife.

"Daddy...Daddy...Daddy, don't embarrass Yu'er by herself, woohoo..." These days, she took care of her father in undressed clothes, but the result was still the same. Weak.

"Master!" Jia Baoyu knelt in front of the bed, looking at Lin Ruhai, his eyes gradually turned red.He is a master and a father, and he has learned a lot from him, and he respects and loves him more than Jia Zheng.

"Baoyu, you're here." Seeing Jia Baoyu, he was obviously very happy, and his face gradually became rosy, which was obviously radiant.

"Good boy, remember what I told you before?"

"Nephew, remember!" Jia Baoyu kowtowed to the bed, crying uncontrollably.

"Hehe, Yu'er is crying, and you are crying too? Don't cry, who doesn't have this way, it's not too late."

Woo... Daddy... Don't be ashamed of Yu'er being alone, woo, don't. Daiyu threw herself on the bed, crying uncontrollably. Jia Baoyu could only hold her little hand tightly to give her strength.

"Silly Yu'er, you should be happy that Daddy is going to see your mother. From now on, you must be obedient and listen to your brother Bao carefully, and you must not be willful."

"Daddy, Daddy...Daddy..." She just stared at Lin Ruhai and kept calling, fearing that her father would just close his eyes and ignore her calling.

"Baoyu, there are three letters on the table, one for your grandmother, one for you to ask Eunuch Cai to bring to the emperor, and one for you from me."

"My nephew understands."

"Hehe, nephew? Following the imperial decree, son, I don't want you to call me uncle anymore."

Jia Baoyu was startled, then wiped away his tears, and said firmly, "Yes, Father-in-law!"

The phrase "father-in-law" is a promise and an oath that he will use his future life, together with the love of this father, to treat sister Lin.

Daiyu was frightened on the spot, she just shed tears and didn't speak, sobbing choked up.

"Heh..." Is the time finally coming?Lin Ruhai sighed and looked at his beloved daughter again.He is too selfish, he insists on going, leaving his daughter who is not yet an adult, Min'er, you will blame him, right?

But, he really couldn't wait any longer.

"Yu'er, Mom and Dad will watch you in the sky, our Yu'er will be happy."

"Father!!!" Seeing that Lin Ruhai's eyes began to loosen and he slowly closed his eyes, Daiyu felt great pain in her heart and let out an uncontrollable wail.

There was an extra layer of haze in his eyes, he couldn't see his daughter's face clearly, but he could still imagine that beauty and agility, for a moment, he seemed to see the beautiful woman in his heart, with delicately smiling eyes, stretching out his hand as gently as water.

"Min'er, I'm here."

Close your eyes again, and hope that Huangquan and Biluo will meet again, and the love between husband and wife will continue.

利欲

Lin Ruhai's funeral went fairly well, even though the officials who usually flattered him were quite indifferent, they came to see him and then hurried away, as if they were afraid of encountering some bad luck.But Lin Ruhai is upright and aboveboard, quite loved by the common people, and his disciples are all over the world, and there are not a few people who wear hemp and filial piety and cry.What moved Jia Baoyu in particular was that the common people in Suzhou hung white cloths in front of their houses, wore plain clothes, and stopped happy events.Together they mourned Master Lin who loved the people like a son, and paid homage to Tanhualang who was famous all over the world.

"Xiao'er, don't cry. Uncle...I definitely hope you are well."

Although the weeping Daiyu has a beautiful charm, but no one likes the person he loves to mourn in front of him. Those clear eyes are now bloodshot, and his already weak body is now even more slender. As if a gust of wind could blow her away, her face was pale and cute.This crying, coughing, and kneeling on the precarious knee made Jia Baoyu extremely anxious.

Daiyu's body is just in good shape!This is good, crying and mourning, the previous recuperation was all in vain, and there are some trends that are worse than before.No, it can't go on like this.

"Hair!!" Jia Baoyu held Daiyu's shoulders, forcing her to meet his eyes.

"If you go on like this, my uncle will not feel at ease!! Didn't you keep saying that you want your parents to be united and that you want your parents to live happily?! Huoer, they didn't leave you, they just changed A way to guard by your side."

Daiyu blinked her teary eyes, and was stirring her clothes with her hands. That snow-white mourning dress kept reminding her of the fact that her parents had left her.

"Father...mother..." What lingered in her mind was all about her happy childhood.The gentle mother always has a warm smile like the morning sun, hugs herself in her arms, and hums a sweet song to lull herself to sleep.At that time, daddy was so hateful, he ran over and threw himself in the air, so scared that he yelled, and he even stroked his beard triumphantly and laughed.Meeting mother's angry and smiling eyes, father will kiss mother, and the whole family will laugh together...

The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.

This is what my mother taught me when I was a child. I didn't expect that she would experience this feeling so soon.Although it is somewhat inconsistent, but the happiness at the beginning was not because of the imminent separation of life and death?

She stopped talking, Daiyu hugged herself into a ball helplessly, tomorrow, she will send her father to be buried, and be buried with her mother.

Live together and die together.Dad and mother should meet together in the underworld.

I should be happy for them.With such loving parents and such a happy family, I already have many things that others do not have.

Seeing the beautiful woman in front of her shrink into a ball, hugging herself in a protective and isolating posture, trembling slightly from time to time, Jia Baoyu's heart trembled accordingly.The intermittent sobbing sound was more like a sharp knife blade, scratching his heart fiercely.

Stretching out his hand to touch Daiyu lightly, Jia Baoyu endured his sadness and called out softly, "Hair, you... the dead are dead, and the living should respect themselves. The body is important."

Then, there was a gust of fragrant wind rushing into the mouth and nose, and a soft body appeared in the arms, but
