[Dream of the Red Chamber] The Lin Family's Son

The Lin siblings, whose names have been making waves, have arrived in the capital!

Even three-year-olds know that when disasters struck three regions at once, the frail Lin siblings followed Lin Ruhai's dying words and poured their family's century-old fortune into disaster relief, saving the victims. The Third Prince was deeply moved and petitioned the throne to commend them. Afterwards, wealthy families and merchants followed suit, opening their purses generously. Food, medicine, manpower, and infrastructure were all provided in turn, and the crisis in the three regions was averted. The whole country was touched by their filial piety and benevolence.

In Yangzhou, people even said that the century's worst rainstorm had struck because Lin Ruhai had died unjustly in the salt-tax case, murdered by treacherous officials at court. His spirit could not rest, and Heaven had taken pity on an upright, worthy man who had been wronged, sending the torrential rain as a warning to the world. The Lin children were pitiful: their mother had died young, and their father had met an unjust end, yet they still obeyed his wishes and did everything they could to help the people. Such great kindness and righteousness were rare in this world.

The people were abuzz with discussion, and the court was in an uproar as well. It was all because the people of Yangzhou had submitted a memorial, asking the emperor to protect the frail siblings. The Retired Emperor prized his reputation above all and was always fond of presenting himself as benevolent, righteous, loyal, and good. The emperor, too, was known for his kindness and compassion. Thus Lin Ruhai was posthumously made Duke Wenguo, Lin Moyu was made Earl Chengyi, and Lin Daiyu was granted the title of County Lady Lingxian, with an enfeoffed estate and a stipend. They were ordered to come to the capital to receive the decree, and the story begins here...
