Chapter 122 I Am Lin Daiyu, the Eldest Daughter of the Lin Family

"Hey, I said, don't just sit in the room, but come and help me think about how to write this letter?"

As soon as Ms. Xie opened the door and came in, she complained to her wife who was reading the newspaper.

She married Pei Huaizhen when she was seventeen, and they have been together for more than forty years.

At this age, there are some names that I feel embarrassed to say out loud.

Pei Huaizhen raised his eyes slightly from the newspaper and said very nonchalantly: "With your literary talent, how can I beat you? Don't think too much, just write whatever you want."

In the past few days, the situation in the camp outside the city has gradually returned to normal, and the mountain chief no longer sits beside the students as he did in the past.

After all, it was cold and freezing, and one had to accept old age. He still wanted to teach for a few more years.

"You make it easy." Ms. Xie muttered, even though she maintained her teacher's calm appearance in front of Daiyu and Baoqin. In Pei Huaizhen's case, she has returned to her childhood charm.

Ms. Xie walked around behind Pei Huaizhen, looking for her husband's gaze towards the newspaper in his hand. The title above reads "Surprised!!! The Weaving Bureau will be rebuilt in the west of Yangzhou City."

She had more or less heard about this matter, so she wasn't too surprised. After just looking at the newspaper, Mr. Xie discovered an interesting place.

"Even these newspapers use symbols?"

"That's right." Pei Huaizhen made a rare comment, "It is indeed a convenient thing. This scholar named Yuan He still has something."

He is a leader in the Jiangnan literary world, and it is really not easy to get such an evaluation from him.

"I just don't know why such a person has no reputation at all before." Xie smiled secretly, sat down at the desk, and took a pen from the pen holder.

"Maybe it's because the wild fox under the tree appeared too late." Pei Huaizhen laughed.

"Mischief." Ms. Xie ignored her wife's teasing and continued to think hard.

Pei Huaizhen saw her distress in his eyes and knew that the other party had a headache, so why did he write letters to those official wives.

Today is the time for the third batch of refugees to enter the city. They will live in the academy for a period of time. How can the wives of masters alone be enough to meet the life problems of such a large number of people?

Ms. Xie worried about this for several days, and finally Pei Huaizhen gave her a sinister idea.

Since you don’t have enough people yourself, just find a place with people to borrow.

Since we need to ask the neighbors to help and get wages, it is better to ask the wealthy families to support some slaves in the house, which is always within their ability.

"Isn't this not good?" When Xie heard this idea, she already shook her head and refused.

"If you don't want to help others, you can just give them some money." Pei Huaizhen thought wisely and said with a rather sinister smile, "As the saying goes: Helping others is more enjoyable, and it is better to enjoy it alone than to enjoy it for everyone."

Mrs.

But the situation was stronger than the situation. Xie was stiff for a few days, but she still had to lower her head and start writing a letter.

If we don't call someone to come, they, the seven or eight old, weak, women and children in the academy, will have to suffer first.

Despite Xie's proper maintenance, gray hair has already grown on her head, and her body is in many ways worse than before.

After writing a letter in a few strokes, Xie brought it to Pei Huaizhen and said, "Come and show it to me."

The mountain chief glanced briefly and gave his fair evaluation, "The wording is good, it would be better if I use more exclamation points."

"Then who should I send this letter to first?"

"Let's send it to Ying Hong's house first."

Ms. Xie was stunned when she heard this. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked at Pei Huaizhen. "You don't even let your own students go."

"It's just because he is a student that we can't let him go." Pei Huaizhen smiled proudly, "Don't worry, Ying Hong has already said hello to the family, and your two students will also come."

When she heard that Wei Qijun and Wei Shu's two aunts and nephews were coming, Mrs. Xie still couldn't believe it, "What do you think? You called all Ying Hong's juniors over."

"Whose child is not a child? Aren't the students in the academy also going outside the city?" Wei Yinghong said noncommittally, "Besides, if Mrs. Yipin Gaoming can put down her figure, there is nothing they can't do."

"I still feel it's inappropriate." Xie shook her head. She stepped forward because she wanted to set an example.

Pei Huaizhen was also the head of the academy. Since he wanted to help the refugees, there was no reason for him to hide in the dark and be a Jade Bodhisattva who smiled and said nothing.

But those girls are not the wealthy eldest ladies in the house. Reading the Four Books and Five Classics is just to increase your cultivation and broaden your horizons. Who would be willing to let their children do such a thing?

"The view of the family." Wei Yinghong was born in a poor family, and when he was young, he was disgusted with such wealthy families.

Since the Wuding period, the folk customs have become more and more liberal, and it is inevitable that he has turned a deaf ear to His Majesty.

"You just ask people to deliver the letter. It's up to their family to decide whether others come or not. We don't force them."

"All right."

Xie had no choice but to nod.

"Mom, just let the child go."

"No, it can't be." Mrs. Jia refused without any discussion, "Yu'er, you are my only daughter. From the time you were born, let alone do some work. I want you to blow more wind, it will make my mother feel bad." very."

Her eyes fell on Lin Daiyu, "Mom is not an unreasonable person. Since the academy is short of people, we need more people in our family. There is no reason for you to go out to take care of others as a daughter..."

Jia thought about it carefully, but she still didn't say the words "Miss Qianjin" in front of her children.

It's not that she can't afford it, but she has taught her children not to bully the weak since they were young, so she is very careful in her words and deeds.

"But Daddy said that if the daughter wants to go, she can go." Seeing that her plan failed, Lin Daiyu immediately brought out her own Tathagata Buddha.

"Then let your father come and tell me in person." Jia still disagreed.

Who is she? The daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and she was also a famous and powerful figure in the capital when she was young.

If she hadn't fallen in love with Lin Ruhai at first sight, even if the emperor granted the marriage, if she didn't want to, others would not dare to force her to agree.

When Jia Daishan was still there, their Jia family had such a scene.

But children are the debt of their parents after all. No matter how high-spirited Jia was when she was young, she still patiently explained when she saw her daughter's grievance, "Yu'er, mother knows that they are pitiful, and she also knows that you want to help others."

"But you also feel sorry for mother. If you get sick outside, what do you want mother to do?" Jia said earnestly.

"Dad is lying. Dad clearly told Yu'er that when mom was young, she was quite chivalrous, and it was not something that ordinary ignorant women and children could reach." Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes and tried to flatter Jia.

Jia smiled. Those were all old things that happened when she was an adult. It was normal for her to be arrogant when she was young, as she was a daughter of a general.

"If you keep talking, mom will go for you."

Jia also started to act like a rogue. She was not unreasonable. It's just that when it comes to her own daughter, don't expect a mother to be reasonable.

After ordering someone to take Daiyu back to her room, she sent a nanny and took another three hundred taels from the mansion to send her to the academy.

In a word, our Lin family gives money and people, but it's impossible to get our eldest daughter.

After finishing this matter, Jia leaned back on the recliner with great effort and asked the maid next to her to massage her acupuncture points.

"Madam, please don't be angry with the young lady. She is kind-hearted after all."

The old maid's surname is Li. She was born in a poor family and was bought by Jia after she married in.

"A family like ours naturally has its own rules." The maid who answered the question was Jia's dowry. She was a domestic slave of the Jia family. She had been accustomed to the wealth of the Duke's Mansion since she was a child. She said in a very complacent tone, "If our master really let us go out to take care of the servants, the world would be in chaos."

"Okay, you guys go down too." Jia became more and more annoyed as she listened, and waved her hand to signal the two maids to shut up.

When the two maids heard it, they also knew that they had just said something wrong, so they had to leave unhappily.

The little maid saw that the mistress of the house was really depressed, so she ran to open the window and let more fresh air in.

When there was no one around, Jia turned around on the recliner. She didn't know what she was thinking about. She muttered, "A family like ours?"

"Heh." She suddenly sneered, and suddenly someone came to her mind.

When she was about to get married, there seemed to be such a person who said such a thing to her and Ru Hai with an inexplicable air.

It's been a few years, but I haven't thought of her.

My good second sister-in-law.

Xueyan accompanied the depressed Lin Daiyu back to the house. Seeing that the young lady was really unhappy, she was a little clumsy and anxious.

"Okay, Yan'er." Lin Daiyu saw her anxious state in her eyes. She was afraid that the little girl's mind was confused, so she hurriedly said, "Go and call my brother for me."

"Hey, young lady, I'll go right away." Xueyan's good point is that although she is not smart, she must be very fast to do things when asked to do them.

Not long after, Xueyan led Lin Jue to Daiyu's room.

"Sister, how is it? Did mother agree?" Lin Jue asked curiously as he just sat on the stool.

Wang Xianming has been living in the Lin Mansion for a while. His homework was suddenly put on the agenda, which made him less happy than before.

When his sister mentioned this yesterday, he felt that there was something exciting to watch.

As soon as Xueyan came to his room to call him, Lin Jue rushed to watch the excitement.

"If mother agreed, can I still sit here?"

Lin Daiyu raised her hand and knocked on her brother's head.

One by one, it was like knocking on a wooden fish.

"I'll tell you." Lin Jue shook his head proudly and avoided his sister's teasing. "Don't think that mother usually agrees to everything. If she really lets you go out, she will definitely be worried."

He only knows how to say sarcastic words. If I didn't need this kid later, I would have to teach him a lesson. Thinking so in my heart, Lin Daiyu showed a sweet smile on her face.

"Brother, what do you think we study for?"

"To report to the king and to protect the country." Lin Jue is at an age when he is easily passionate, and Wang Xianming likes to set goals for his children. Hearing his sister's question, the younger brother immediately slammed the table and said, "Be a useful person to the world and the people."

"Like my father and my elder brother." He added at the end.

Lin Daiyu's eyebrows curved and smiled, "If mother doesn't agree to you going out in the future, do you want your sister to help you?"

"This... can't be."

Lin Jue was stunned. He had never heard of a son who was raised behind closed doors?

"You have to think it through. I only have you as a son."

Lin Daiyu picked up the teapot and took the initiative to pour tea for her brother.

This treatment was only enjoyed by my father and elder brother in the past. Lin Jue was very moved and said immediately, "Of course I hope my sister will help me."

"Then do you want to help your sister now?"

I knew you would say that. Lin Jue was not surprised. He just frowned and thought for a long time, saying, "Sister, why do you have to go out? As mother said, our family has given enough people and money, isn't it also a kind gesture?"

Lin Daiyu raised her head slightly, her slender neck like a noble swan.

"Because I am Lin Daiyu, the eldest daughter of the Lin family. I also read the Four Books and Five Classics, and recited the theories of sages."

"The world will not be different because of one more me, but I will be different because I have seen the world."

"Whether it is father, brother, or brother, you will move forward in your own direction in the future. Do you want me to stay at home and be a resentful woman waiting for your husband to return?"

"Good sister, tell me. How do you want your brother to help you!"

Ah, my head hurts. Thinking of the three girls gathering in the academy later, I have a headache! ! ! !
