In the year when her mother died of illness, Jia Mu sent people from the capital to Yangzhou to take the young Daiyu to Rongguo Mansion.
The luggage has been packed, even the usual tea cups have been put into the box.
Before leaving, Daiyu pulled her father and asked, "Daddy, won't you go with me?"
Lin Ruhai was silent for a long time, and finally said only three words: "I'm not going."
Then, everything was different.
Daiyu did not live in Rongguo Mansion, did not live under anyone's roof, and did not accompany Baoyu every day.
Many years later, she went to Beijing with her father.
Brother Bao, whose name she had only heard since childhood, finally met her. Jia's mother was reluctant to let her go, and Baoyu hoped that she would stay, but when it got dark, she would still board the Lin family's carriage.
She has her own home.
Later, her poems spread throughout Beijing, and her name became known to more and more people; some people came to ask for marriage, not asking what the Jia family meant, but what the Lin family meant.
Only then did Baoyu discover for the first time——
It turns out that Sister Lin was never destined to marry him.
And Daiyu finally had to face a problem she had never thought about before:
If you like someone, do you have to marry him?
This year, the Grand View Garden is still full of flowers.
No one knew that the prosperity was coming to an end.
And Lin Daiyu's life has just begun.
