Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

Chapter 44 Lin Ruhai died of illness

On that day, Yunzhu and Qingwen went back to Jia's mansion from Lai's house. Along the way, they mentioned that there were many things in the house recently. Lian's second grandmother went to Dong's house to take care of the affairs.

The two said that when Second Master Lian accompanied Daiyu home, they were passing by the largest teahouse on Ningrong Street, and they happened to meet Young Master Jialan who came out of the building. After the two greeted each other in surprise, they were wondering that the invisible person in ordinary times could recognize them, when Jialan laughed ironically.

"There will be plenty of opportunities to go out in the future. When Second Uncle Lian gets rich, you will be able to go to heaven." After finishing speaking, before the two of them could open their mouths, they walked away in a huff.

Qingwen was shocked and didn't realize it in person. When Jia Lan walked seventeen or eight steps away, she growled in a low voice: "Hey! I don't see his ability like this in the mansion, so he is full of vigor to teach us a lesson. Also, what does he mean by that, the second master can still make a fortune in Yangzhou?"

Yunzhu sneered, and saw the back of the person going away and said with a smile: "I am rich, Miss Min has gone, and now seeing that Mrs. Lin is also seriously ill, if... naturally I should bring back the dowry. I just didn't expect Mrs. Lan to be so lively."

If Lin Ruhai didn't get over it and the Lin family withered, wouldn't it mean that Jia's in-laws would get rich?

"But this matter has nothing to do with us anyway, so don't talk nonsense, and let big sister Qi hear it later, it's time to reprimand us." Yunzhu said seriously like a little adult, I really don't like to talk about this matter, the big family wants face most, even if they think in their hearts, they also pay attention to acting decently.

"You think I'm stupid!" Qingwen smiled and waved her hands, showing that she knows a lot.

Just wondering, Jia Lan is a half-invisible person in the mansion. Although he is the great-grandson of Jia's mansion, his life is frugal and monotonous. Maybe it's because his mother is widowed, and he doesn't often get in touch with his sisters.A few days ago when Jia Baoyu came back, he said that he was withdrawn. When his classmates were fighting, he didn't even get angry when the inkstone hit him, but he looked very indifferent.

But looking at it now, it is not entirely true.

"You see, my lord, this matter is difficult to handle. Even the little girl knows that the Jia family has bad intentions." The slightly shrill voice lowered its voice and said to the man by the window of the teahouse.

Standing in front of the window was a young man with a long jade body, wearing a low-key, luxurious and restrained Sichuan brocade robe. After opening and closing the folding fan several times, his downcast eyes evoked a casual smile, and he suddenly said in a good mood: "The emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuchs are not in a hurry."

"Hehe, you are right." The young man in a green cotton robe stroked his beardless chin. Although he was standing straight, his tone was dog-legged.

"Feng Bao!" The young man called out behind the screen in a low voice, unable to hide his interest.

"The subordinate is here." There was a soft sound of the corner of the clothes rubbing against the screen, and an unreal figure seemed to appear in the shadows. His aura was so condensed that it was shocking. Looking carefully, everything from the clothes to the long knife pinned to the waist revealed an unusual identity.

"You go to Yangzhou yourself. After all, you are a veteran minister who has made great contributions to the court. You cannot let the Jia family manipulate it. If someone takes the tea to cool down and chills the hearts of scholars all over the world, wouldn't our master want to fetch water from a bamboo basket?"

Combined with the information obtained in the past, it turns out that the century-old family of the Jia family actually has the idea of ​​marrying a daughter.

As if thinking of something, the young man commanded into the air again: "Also ask the official media in the two places to be smart, at least she is the only daughter of Duke Lin."

I heard that this girl was brought up as a man since she was a child, if she is not good enough, it's fine, if the Jia family tries to grind her away, she will inevitably fall into the trap.

Let's say that this ruthless man named Feng Bao got the order and rode down to Yangzhou that night with a small burden.

Riding alone, he arrived faster than Jia Lian and his party.

After he finished greeting the official media, he was going to the Lin family to find the elders when he saw Lin Daiyu and Jia Lian's group entering the Lin residence.

Looking at the back of the girl who looked like a weak willow supporting the wind from a distance, Feng Bao was in trouble. The master only told the Lin family not to let the Jia family manipulate him, but he didn't say how far his own people could do it.

Feng Bao squatted on a tree in Lin's mansion and saw Daiyu crying in front of Lin Ruhai's bed, her eyes turned into peach eyes, and her heart was also wrinkled as if she had been drenched in a ladle of bitter water.God is sorry to see you, the relationship will be broken at a young age, and the future must be difficult.

After thinking about it, he jumped out of the Lin's mansion and went straight to the Yangzhou government office.

At that time, the magistrate of Yangzhou was Master Jia of Jia Yucun. He was in his prime, but he was scheming and cunning.The master said long ago that this person is useful, but not very useful. It is a sharp knife in the dark, depending on where it is used.

"It turned out to be the servant's lord who came to visit, and he was greeted at a distance, and he was greeted at a distance!" Jia Yucun's crimson official robes were neatly buttoned up, it didn't seem like it was a sudden intention, but it seemed like he knew someone would come to the door a long time ago.

Feng Bao ignored his politeness, just bowed standardly, and then went straight to the point: "Your Excellency Jia is polite, but he was ordered to come here on an errand, and he bothered you late at night, so I will apologize first."

You come and I share a cup of tea between two people, and this really enters the theme.

"Ru Haigong is very ill now, and the two of us have some friendship on weekdays. Not to mention, his only daughter, Daiyu, was also my female student in the past. She is really smart and different from ordinary people. It's just because of her physique..."

Jia Yucun is a slippery loach, talking nonsense and refusing to follow people's wishes, until he saw Feng Bao's brows showing some impatience, he said slowly: "Your servant is making a joke, I went to meet Ru Haigong in private yesterday, naturally I know that all the doctors in Yangzhou City have gone to Lin's mansion, and now I see you again..."

He paused for three sentences, and now he began to pretend to wipe away his tears.

After a while, a servant reported that it was the right moment, and Lin Ruhai, Master Lin, had gone.

Feng Bao's heart trembled, he was afraid of delaying the master's important affairs, so he hurriedly said: "Although I have the order, I don't want to go to the Lin's house openly. Since Mr. Jia is close friends with Mr. Lin, I'm afraid he can't bear to handle Mr. Lin's affairs with his own hands. If so, I will go find someone else, and leave!"

As a gesture, he put down the tea bowl and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Jia Yucun panicked for a moment, thinking that I just made such a guess just now, who knew that he really died tonight!

Seeing that Feng Baoyi was about to go out, he hastily stepped forward to apologize and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, Mr. Lin? Mr. Lin has been friends with me for many years. His family does not have many relatives, and he is such a good minister in front of him. As a prefect of a state, how can I stand on the sidelines?"

"It's just that I have to ask the servant to help me with this side matter."

Looking at the figure jumping under the candlelight, Feng Bao thought to himself, it's really greedy.

Although this person was born in an official family, he has the same surname as the Jia family in the capital, but because he was going to the capital to take the exam, he was sponsored by Lin Ruhai on the way.

Some have talent and integrity, but after years of ups and downs, it is inevitable that they will be philistine and vulgar.

No wonder the master said he was a dark knife.
