3 003 Sudden Realization
◎ Strange! What the brother said in his heart was actually true.◎
Mo Yu was caught off guard by Lin Ruhai and was forced to drink a bowl of bitter medicine. Under the strong stimulation, he actually managed to speak.
Although this medicine was really bitter, it was a blessing in disguise. He could finally speak.
He wanted to quickly give Lin Ruhai and the others a spoiler of the plot of Red Mansions - after all, their family had the cannon fodder script, but he didn't expect that this bowl of medicine would be so effective. He felt drowsy not long after drinking it and had no energy to spoil the spoiler.
Seeing that Mo Yu looked strange after drinking the medicine, Jia Min became more and more anxious. Fortunately, the housekeeper of the mansion arrived with a doctor at this time. After a quick diagnosis, they found that it was purely the effect of the medicine. Lin Ruhai had given Mo Yu several times the usual amount of medicine in a hurry, and the medicine itself had a sleeping effect.
So, Mo Yu's reaction was very normal. He was just sleepy...
After a shock, Lin Ruhai hurriedly ordered someone to give the doctor the money for the consultation, and then sent him away politely. Finally, he had time to deal with the family affairs.
Although he was usually very gentle to others, he was also very dignified when encountering big things.
At this moment, he squinted his eyes and didn't smile at all. It was obvious that he was going to talk about business.
Jia Min had been married to him for many years, so she knew what he meant. She immediately ordered people to close the door of the mansion and gather all the people who had just stood in Mo Yu's room in the main courtyard to talk.
Lin Ruhai did not beat around the bush and directly ordered: "Today we can hear what the brother is thinking. Although we don't know the reason, it is also a miracle. You all should be careful with your mouths. If I know that someone is gossiping outside, I will be careful of your skin."
These people in front of them were originally servants of the Lin family. They were all people of the Lin family for generations, and they must be trustworthy.
Since Lin Ruhai said this, none of them dared to say a word. They all swore and agreed before leaving.
Soon, the only people left in the main courtyard were Lin Ruhai, Jia Min, Daiyu, Daiyu's wet nurse Wang Ma, and Lin Ruhai's four concubines.
Among them, Concubine Zhu and Concubine Meng were both from the Lin family. One was a concubine of Lin Ruhai's family and a concubine when he was a teenager. The other was Jia Min's dowry and was also promoted by the concubine's maid. They were all considered family members.
Only Concubine Liu and another Concubine Mei were taken in from outside.
Concubine Liu was especially generously given to Lin Ruhai by a colleague when he was a doctor at Lantai Temple and was reporting on his work in Beijing. It turned out that she really had some connection with a nobleman in the capital.
So, even if Mo Yu's "words" were shocking, they were not groundless.
In addition, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min had already discovered that there was something wrong with the two of them, so they believed about 70% of Mo Yu's "insider" statement.
As for the remaining 20% or 30%, it was purely because of the parental filter.
Lin Moyu was the legitimate son that Lin Ruhai and Jia Min had been waiting for for more than ten years. He was also the only son, so naturally he was treated like a treasure.
Unfortunately, not only did this child come with difficulty, but he was also born with congenital deficiencies. He was sick from the moment he was born, and his body was even weaker than his sister Daiyu. He really took medicine as soon as he could drink milk. To put it bluntly, it looked like he could not be raised for long.
Therefore, whether it was Lin Ruhai or Jia Min, the couple loved their son Lin Moyu as if he were the apple of their eyes.
Normally, even if he did something bad, the two of them would not take it seriously. They always sided with their son out of habit, thinking that it was just a child's nature, and that he could be taught slowly, and they would not get angry at all.
Moreover, Lin Moyu was a very well-behaved child. When he was three years old, even if he was sick and had to take medicine for nine and a half days out of ten, he never got angry or had a bad temper.
Speaking of the present, he was really an angel-like child.
It was a pity that he didn't live long...
But the more this happened, the more Lin Ruhai and Jia Min wanted to tolerate everything their son did. Not only the couple, but also Xiao Daiyu and the maids, servants, and housekeepers in the Lin family were the same.
Therefore, Mo Yu's sudden expression of his inner thoughts and the bizarre incident of revealing the plot was quickly accepted as a "miracle" - Mo Ge'er is so good, so naturally everything he does is good.
Look, he is still sick, but he knows how to use "ventriloquism" to tell his father and wife that there is a "spy" in the family.
It is really pitiful that such a small person can "ventriloquize" after being sick for such a long time. It must be some kind of adventure.
Maybe some old immortal has mercy on their brother and given him this supernatural power, saving his life and asking him to repay his parents for raising him.
Moreover, even the brother said that these two little hooves are secretly trying to attack his wife, so they have to take action and deal with them quickly.
Everyone in the Lin family always favored their own son and was very smart, so they quickly became united against the enemy and regarded Aunt Liu and her partner Aunt Mei as tigers, leopards, wolves, and just waited for Lin Ruhai and Jia Min to give the order to get them out and deal with them...
Everyone's resentment seemed to have passed through the gate of the main courtyard and condensed into a solid body, which was indeed a very strong sense of oppression.
At this moment, Aunt Liu saw that things were not going well, and she was already scared and fell to the ground and kowtowed for mercy.
Aunt Mei relied on her status as a concubine and was still stubborn and refused to give in. She just wanted to get through today and then quickly find a way to send a letter to ask her master to come and get them out.
But Lin Ruhai didn't want to see them anymore, so he said to Jia Min in a deep voice, "Let Madam handle this matter."
Jia Min nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't have to worry about anything."
Jia Min and Lin Ruhai were a young couple, and they had been together for many years, so their tacit understanding was naturally different from that of others. Before the two concubines Liu and Mei could come to their senses, they were dragged away by several rough-handed maids called by Jia Min, and disappeared neatly that night.
Although concubines Zhu and Meng were old people who followed Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, they were also frightened when they saw this scene, and they immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed. It was only after Jia Min told them not to kowtow anymore, and that they might scare the girls and boys, that they were dragged and persuaded out.
The two concubines were honest. From then on, they voluntarily fasted and chanted Buddhist scriptures. They didn't want to be concubines anymore. They returned to the position of the maid in the same room and lived a comfortable life.
After Jia Min dealt with the concubine incident with thunderous means, it was already late.
Daiyu was still young, only one year older than Lin Moyu, and now she was only four or five years old. So many things happened today, she couldn't stand it anymore, and she was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes.
However, even so, she still tried to accompany Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, and was shocked by what her brother said.
Unexpectedly, these things are all true, so did her brother become a god?
Then, will he not die...
Although she is only a child of four or five years old, Daiyu is very precocious and can already understand the important matters of life and death and the impermanence of life.
At first, she cried and worried that her brother would die like this, but who would have thought that such a miracle would happen later - it's good that he won't die, and I have to come to his room to see him tomorrow.
Seeing that Daiyu was already very sleepy, Jia Min quickly asked Wang Ma to take her downstairs to rest, and at the same time, she did not forget to whisper in her ear: "Yu'er, you must remember that your brother's affairs must not be mentioned to outsiders."
Little Daiyu nodded in confusion. Although she didn't quite understand the deep meaning of it, she was sure that it was right to remember the instructions of the master and the mistress.
After Lin Ruhai and Jia Min watched Wang Ma and Xiao Daiyu return to their room, they were finally the only ones left in the main room.
At this point, they finally relaxed and looked at each other, finding the same fear and relief in each other's eyes - the more they thought about it, the more scared they were. If it weren't for their son's "oracle" today, they might have been in a terrible situation.
Jia Min paused for a moment and whispered to Lin Ruhai, "Master, Mo Ge'er..."
Lin Ruhai sighed, "It's a blessing, not a curse. If it's a curse, it can't be avoided. Let's see what happens to him... There's only one thing, everyone in the mansion must keep their mouths shut, and never let it out - don't even tell Mo Ge'er."
This is for the sake of their children, and they are not afraid of scaring the children.
Jia Min nodded in agreement.
The couple discussed the situation in the court - which prince had gained power recently and which treacherous people in various parts of the court needed to be dealt with.
It turned out that Lin Ruhai had not yet been promoted to the position of inspector of the salt and defense department, and was still working in the Lantai Temple. Although he was a censor, he was doing the work of a court official and had to travel everywhere when he had nothing to do. Therefore, he had no way to bring his family with him to take up his post, so he had to leave his wife and children in his hometown in Suzhou.
In the original novel, Lin Ruhai would not be promoted until after this winter, but by that time, his only son Lin Moyu had already died...
As for whether it was because Lin Ruhai was too capable and offended someone when he was inspecting the people's livelihood and political achievements on behalf of the emperor, which implicated his wife and children, no one can tell clearly.
Anyway, the three-year-old Lin Moyu did not wait for his father to return after being promoted. He died of illness when he went to Yangzhou to take up his post.
This is really a sad story.
However, Mo Yu, who has become Lin Moyu, is very indifferent to this.
Just die, there is nothing to lose anyway, just treat it as a one-day trip to the world of Red Mansions.
This was his true thought before he fell asleep.
Unfortunately, this wish did not come true. Mo Yu did not die in the end. He woke up after a good sleep...
The sleeping pills that Lin Ruhai fed him personally were very effective. He woke up after sleeping for three full days.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Jia Min guarding his bedside, her beautiful eyes were already red from staying up late.
Lin Ruhai was not there. It was said that the Lord had another errand for him to do.
Mo Yu didn't know at first, but he just thought of this question in his heart, and Jia Min had already answered him very naturally, as if she had seen through what he was thinking directly - it was really amazing, could this be the strange telepathy between mother and son?
The kind that would not be affected even if the core was changed?
Mo Yu was deeply moved, and couldn't help but recall the ending of Jia Min in the original novel.
[Oh my cheap mother, please be more careful. What son are you fighting for? As the main wife, aren't the sons born by the concubines of the Lin family yours? Besides, with your cheap father's physique... I can only say that only you can complete his KPI of having children. Now you have a son and a daughter, it's time to stop. Be careful of overdrawing your body, both of them died young...]
Jia Min was originally very happy that her son had survived another wave of illness and regained consciousness, but she didn't expect that she hadn't been happy for long before she heard her son's weird "ventriloquism" again.
Look at what he is saying? At such a young age, what a mess he thinks every day.
Many of the words are so strange that people feel confused.
But after listening to the whole thing, she found that what the child said was almost right... Thinking that all her thoughts for so many years were exposed, Jia Min was ashamed and angry. Fortunately, there was no outsider around, so she had to quickly tell the child to stop thinking about it.
Jia Min was thinking about saying something to make her son shut up... Oh, it should be shut up, but before she could open her mouth, Mo Yu's thoughts had already drifted to the next plot:
[Even if you really died young, it would not be a dead end. It's a pity that you and your cheap father both have poor eyesight. Why do you have to entrust my little sister Daiyu to the Jia Mansion as soon as you leave? Is that a place for people to stay? It's a pure pit of fire that eats people! Poor little sister Daiyu, she never had a good day, she just cried every day! Crying! She died of tears before she even lived to be 18. What's the use of repaying tears for a lifetime... Is that broken stone worthy of it?】
What tears, what about dying of tears before she even lived to be 18?
Wait, son, explain it to me clearly!
Broken stone, is it Baoyu?
Jia Min was anxious and afraid, and felt that her brain was confused like paste because of Mo Yu's words. She couldn't care about anything else for a while, and immediately grabbed Mo Yu and asked: "Brother Mo! Do you know that your maternal grandfather has a cousin who was born with jade?"
