A journey to the heavens starting from the Red Mansion

Chapter 22 Family
Lin Yao strode into the Lin Mansion like a meteor. From a distance, he could hear the sound of big beads falling on jade plates from the inner courtyard, and the laughter of Xiao Daiyu and Xiangling.

Sure enough, Xiangling and Xiaodaiyu have something in common. One is sincere and the other has a sharp mind. They can tolerate and understand each other.

Lin Yao walked through the screen door and stepped into the hanging flower door, and saw two little girls who were writing and drawing in the pavilion. They were Xiao Daiyu and Xiang Ling.

"Young Master?" Xiang Ling looked up inadvertently and saw Lin Yao, who was standing at the door with a smile and couldn't bear to interrupt their play. She couldn't help but said with a little surprise and confusion.

Lin Yao looked at Xiang Ling, her red lips were like two dewy petals, and there was a hint of surprise in the slightly concave corners of her mouth.

Xiao Daiyu next to her trembled when she heard the words, her shoulders trembled slightly, she turned her head suddenly, looked at Lin Yao's figure, her eyes were a little moist, she rushed over and hugged Lin Yao, twitching her shoulders and started crying.

"Okay, brother just went out to do some errands. Isn't he back now? He also brought you some gifts."

Lin Yao gently hugged Xiao Daiyu, patted her back gently, and felt her tears moisten the clothes on his chest.

Lin Yao felt a burst of tenderness in his heart. Faced with the attachment of human cubs to him, everyone's mentality will change no matter how ruthless they are.

Slowly, Xiao Daiyu's body stopped shaking and she raised her head to look at Lin Yao.Her childish oval face turned amber in the reflected light of the glazed tiles, and was reflected in Lin Yao's eyes.

"Where's the gift?"

Xiao Daiyu's voice is like spring water seeping from the earth. Although it is a little hoarse, it is also clear and natural, without foam or noise.

Sure enough, human cubs are easy to coax, and their emotions come and go quickly.

Looking at the slightly red eyes, Lin Yao gently stroked Xiao Daiyu's head and took out picture and text books from the storage space. There were books about nature, science, animals, etc. that could be given to her. Interesting information for young children to develop correct values.

"Come on, come on, I'll teach you how to recognize the characters inside. Xiang Ling, you can also come with me. You two will study together in the future."

Lin Yao pulled Xiao Daiyu and turned his head to look at Xiang Ling who was envious of their brother-sister relationship. He couldn't help but reach out and rub her little head. He couldn't help but smile when he saw her lowering her head shyly.

Time passed quietly.

In the evening, in the Lin Mansion, Jia Min personally cooked and directed the kitchen to cook. Xiao Daiyu couldn't help but help, and of course the children knew how to help.

"This child is really careless. He has been out for more than half a month and I don't know if he has lost weight."

Jia Min complained, but there was uncontrollable joy on her face, hoping to make a good meal so that Lin Yao, who had been away from home for many days, could taste his cooking.

She had put a lot of thought into this meal!

Lin Yao's eyes were filled with emotion. He drank the ginseng and black-bone chicken soup in a big gulp and cleared all the dishes on the table.

Lin Ruhai watched the table full of dishes being cleared and couldn't help but smile: "Look, practicing martial arts is also beneficial. At least this kid has a big appetite and is no longer picky about food."

Jia Min also smiled and said: "That's right, your body is much stronger."

The couple suddenly laughed.

After dinner, Xiao Daiyu thought about the beauty of the gift Lin Yao gave her today. Everything in the world seemed to appear in exquisite books.

But seeing her mother being so kind to her brother, she was a little jealous and couldn't help but hug Jia Min, feeling reluctant for a while.

"Well! My mother's craftsmanship is really good! I see, our mother is definitely the best wife and mother in the world! And sister Daiyu is the best sister in the world." Lin Yao raised a big thumb.

Jia Min was very happy to hear Lin Yao's praise. After all, no parent in the world pays for their children's approval.When Xiao Daiyu heard the compliment, she was elated, stopped pestering Jia Min, and raised her little head proudly.

As a little girl, it’s always good to praise you more.

Looking at his parents and sister, he had never experienced such family warmth in his previous life. God had given him such family affection in this life, and he cherished it extremely.

"I can still watch it for half an hour tonight."

Lin Yao took Xiao Daiyu and Xiang Ling to read "The First Coming of the Monkey King" and "Bi Mawen" in "Journey to the West". She was shocked by the world view inside.

Watching the two little ones happily reading children's editions of classics, Lin Yao also felt a sense of confusion in time and space.

"I'm watching Journey to the West at the Red Mansion?"

"That's not what I want to see."

Xiao Daiyu snorted proudly, suppressing the joy in her heart and pretending to be nonchalant.

……

At night, he sent the reluctant Xiao Daiyu back to her room. Lin Yao returned to the bedroom and sat cross-legged.

I can't bear to recall what happened today.Chatting after dinner today, Jia Min said that Jia's mother sent a letter telling her that she missed her granddaughter and wanted them to stay in Jia's house for a few days.

However, Jia Min refused for the time being. After all, it was not easy to travel and travel in ancient times, and it was still too hard for a six-year-old child.

Xiao Daiyu's mother died of illness in her previous life, which required Lin Ruhai to make desperate measures. As a result, he sent people to step up the protection of his daughter, and at the same time, in his funeral letter to his mother-in-law, he requested that someone be sent to pick up his daughter and take her to Beijing for refuge.

However, it can be inferred based on this timeline and the story of Chapter No. 19 "The Little Mouse Stealing the Jade".

The power struggle between the emperor and the emperor has just begun. It has been less than a year since the emperor appointed Lin Ruhai to serve as the salt inspector of Yangzhou.

When Lin Ruhai found out that there was a huge deficit in the accounts of the Salt Administration Tax Bank, the Salt Administration officials would give him advice through various channels and try their best to win over, intimidate and threaten him.

At this time, it is suitable for Lin Yao to appear, to "break all laws with one force", sweep away the demons and monsters, and solve the trouble once and for all.

In his previous life, Lin Ruhai fought head-on against the group of "rats" who were guarding and stealing from others. This was both an official's duty and a subject's responsibility.It's a pity that he came by air and was alone and helpless.

It goes without saying that during the period of "turmoil and bloodshed", people in the officialdom were treacherous and evil.Lin Ruhai is not only a huge threat to those rats, but also a target of public criticism.

Although he has the support of the emperor behind him, the new emperor has not been able to truly control the situation in the DPRK and China since he came to the throne.And he was appointed as the salt inspector, which was originally the new emperor's further test of the most important salt tax group.

Poor Lin Ruhai fought all alone for the loss of his family, but eventually fell into the position of patrolling the salt censor.

Less than three years after her daughter passed away, Lin Ruhai fell seriously ill, and the doctor couldn't tell what the illness was.Lin Ruhai knew that he would most likely follow in Jia Min's footsteps.

The most intense part of this confrontation in imperial power was the death of Lin Ruhai three or four years later. During this period, Lin Ruhai might also become an outcast of power.

But now, Lin Yao doesn't care about the emperor or not. The fist in his hand is power, and he can crush demons and monsters with one punch.

"You have nowhere to escape, use thunder to crush the darkness!" Thinking of what happened before, Lin Yao couldn't help but think of a sentence he thought was quite domineering in his previous life.
