Chapter 81: Bereavement of Father

When the light comes back, the big day is finally coming. That night, Lin Ruhai will drive westward like a crane.

Lin Daiyu immediately fainted from crying. Jia Yun and others helped decorate the mourning hall, ask monks and Taoists to recite sutras and other trivial matters.

Time passed and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the side hall of the back house of Yanzheng Yamen.

At this time in the hall, King Zhongshun looked at Lin Daiyu who was "sobbing", his smart eyes were sore from crying, and comforted him: "Niece Lin, my condolences, if your father's spirit in heaven sees you like this, I'm afraid

I don’t feel at ease even when I leave.”

When Lin Daiyu heard this, her two big watery eyes suddenly overflowed, and she looked pitiful.

King Zhongshun sighed helplessly when he saw this, and turned his head to look at Jia Yun, as if to signal him to say a few words of comfort.

Jia Yun's marriage was finalized by King Zhongshun and Lin Ruhai, and he had a marriage contract with Lin Daiyu. Jia Yun had no objection to this.

Lin Daiyu is one of the two songs in the official book of Jinling's Twelve Hairpins. Although she is young, she already shows a peerless appearance and rare beauty. Her manners and speech are good. Although her body and face are timid, she has a natural and romantic attitude, which attracts Jia Yun.

, it is normal.

When the soul passed through the Red Mansion, Jia Yun naturally thought about taking the beauty of the Red Mansion into his pocket, but as time passed, this thought faded away.

The ideal is full, but the reality is cruel. It is useless to think about unrealistic things.

Survival is hard, so why fantasize about it.

What's more, King Xiang has a dream, the goddess has no intention, and Jia Yun still knows himself.

If King Zhongshun hadn't been the matchmaker, to be honest, Jia Yun really hadn't thought about getting married.

What's more, the Qian Dynasty was an orthodox Han Dynasty that emphasized one wife and multiple concubines. As for the choice of wife, Jia Yun was more optimistic about Xue Baochai.

Steady, peaceful, respectful and considerate, these are the candidates for a real wife. As for Lin Daiyu, she is self-respecting, self-loving and sentimental, which seems to be a little less interesting. This is probably the reason why Jia's mother finally chose Xue Baochai as Jia Baoyu's good match.

But Jia Yun knew that the Xue family looked down on Jia Yun, and what others cared about was the young master Ruyu who was favored by the old lady. Jia Yun knew that, so naturally he would not be sentimental.

Facing King Zhongshun's signal, Jia Yun said: "Aunt Lin expresses my condolences to the emperor."

............

King Zhongshun had a dark look on his face when he heard this, and asked Jia Yun to comfort him. Is this how he was comforted? Compared to strangers, others would say more nice things, but this Jia Yun... how could he look like his fiancé?

.....

Jia Yun had nothing to do about this. How could he comfort his father when he was young? What's more, Jia Yun was not a person who comforted others carefully.

Lin Daiyu raised her eyes and looked at Jia Yun, feeling even more desolate. Her father died young, and the future husband she found was also indifferent. In a few days, she would have to carry her father's coffin back to Suzhou for burial in the Lin family's ancestral grave...

Thinking of this, how could Lin Daiyu stop her tears?

...........

Jia Lian on the side looked at Jia Yun with a complicated expression. Ever since he heard that Jia Yun killed his uncle in the street, he had been wary of Jia Yun all the time. He also heard that Uncle Lin had made the decision to betroth Sister Lin to Jia Yun, and even more so.

There was a feeling of disgust in his heart. If this matter had not been proposed by King Zhongshun, he would really have been shocked.

You need to know that the old lady in Beijing feels sorry for her granddaughter. How could she let Lin Daiyu be betrothed to a "big and bad" person like Jia Yun?

Jia Lian said: "Sister Lin, my uncle has gone, please relax and take care of yourself, not only for yourself, but also for the sake of the old lady in Beijing!"

Lin Daiyu picked up the embroidered handkerchief, wiped the corners of her eyes, and responded softly.

Upon seeing this, King Zhongshun glanced at Jia Yun angrily and snorted coldly, seeming to be dissatisfied with Jia Yun.

"Miss, uncle and the others are here, taking Brother Qing's family with them. They are waiting in the hall right now!"

After a while, the housekeeper walked in, bowed to everyone, and then said to Lin Daiyu. His voice was not deliberately concealed, as if he was speaking for everyone sitting here to hear.

Lin Daiyu's pretty face turned pale when she heard this. What was the purpose of their coming here at this time? She didn't understand. Not long after Lin Ruhai left, others came to bully her. This really made Lin Daiyu feel sad, and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.

King Zhongshun also knew about this, but it was someone else's family matter and he couldn't come forward. At this time, Jia Yun stood up and said, "I'll handle it!"

Not only was Jia Yun the Lin family's son-in-law appointed by Lin Ruhai, but Jia Yun was Lin Daiyu's nephew, which was better than an outsider like King Zhongshun.

Lin Daiyu was silent when she heard this and did not say any words of rejection.

Afterwards, Jia Yun followed the housekeeper to the main hall. Jia Lian, who was sitting next to him, turned his eyes, got up and followed, saying that he was going to help Jia Yun.

Above Langfang, Jia Lian hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Brother Yun, I see that this Lin family member is not a good person. We need to be more careful."

Jia Yun turned his head and looked at Jia Lian. This Jia Lian had always avoided him, but today he took the initiative to talk...

"What does Second Uncle Lian mean?"

Although there is no intersection between Jia Yun and Jia Lian, they still have to keep their reputation. After all, he is indeed the uncle of the owner, so it is no big deal to call him Uncle Lian.

Hearing Jia Yun call him Uncle Lian, Jia Lian felt relieved. Since he still called him uncle, it meant that Jia Yun had not yet betrayed his ancestors.

After gathering his words for a moment, Jia Lian whispered: "There are no direct members of the Lin family, and the remaining ones are all remote relatives, all as far away as Suzhou.

When my uncle left, people from the Lin family jumped out. For Sister Lin, we must be on guard!"

How could Jia Yun not know this? The Lin family has been a family of nobles for many generations and has a lot of wealth.

In addition to the land and houses in Su and Yang areas, there are also many fertile fields.

The most important thing is the dowry of Lin Daiyu's mother Jia Min...

When Jia Min came out of the cabinet, his father Daishan was still there, and he was truly a first-class Rongguo Duke!

Jia Min has been doted on since she was a child and is the apple of the Duke's palace. Even after many years, Jia's mother still misses Jia Min. She is the most precious treasure in the family. Because of such love, Jia's mother loves Lin Daiyu very much.

.

With such a pearl, a dowry is naturally indispensable. When Jia Min got married, the dowry given by the Duke's Palace was something that Mrs. Wang was still envious of many years later. Jia Min was the real noble lady of the Duke's Palace. There were so many, but they were not enough.

Made by a pair of children.

No one would be tempted by such a big cake, and Lao Shizi's Qing brother's parents were also interested in the Lin family's business.

Jia Yun was also well aware of Jia Lian's kindness. Jia Min's dowry belonged to Lin Daiyu and could not be taken advantage of by others.

From Jia Yun's point of view, the Jia family may have also had the idea of ​​​​this dowry. When Jia Lian went to Yangzhou, Jia's mother must have given him something. After all, the Jia family's current financial expenditure is not optimistic.

Lin Daiyu has no relatives. As Lin Daiyu's grandmother, she is naturally the only decent elder. It is natural to keep Lin Daiyu's dowry for her. Moreover, at this stage, Jia's mother still intends to let Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, so Lin Daiyu's dowry naturally belongs to the Jia family.

Property must not be allowed to be accessed by outsiders.

Looking at Jia Lian, Jia Yun said: "Second uncle Lian, don't worry, my nephew will definitely not let my aunt suffer any injustice."

If there was no engagement, Jia Yun would naturally not care about Lin Daiyu's dowry, but now that they are engaged, Jia Yun will definitely take care of it to the end. Neither the Lin family nor the Jia family can even think of taking advantage of this...
