Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 181 Lin Ruhai is seriously ill

Li Wanyuan'er.

Suyun added ice flakes to the smoke cage and said, "The eldest man has twenty taels, the master also has twenty taels, and then Uncle Zhen from Dongfu gave out twenty taels."

Li Wan nodded and said, "In that case, just go and give me five taels of silver later."

Su Yun agreed and said casually: "Unlucky Mr. Hegeirui, if he keeps pestering grandma, there may be rumors about him."

Li Wan hesitated to speak, but she was not stupid, so she didn't know what was going on in her heart.

There is no such coincidence in the world. Jia Rui came over to flirt with him, and Jian brother came to the back and got the letter. Within a few days, Jia Rui committed a crime and was imprisoned in the temple. After he came out, Half of his life was already gone.

Although Brother Jian is doing it for himself, this method is too drastic and not very virtuous. Li Wan then thought that when he copied a few Diamond Sutras later, he would pray for Brother Jian's blessing and longevity.

Biyue over there said: "Have a good death! Grandma has such a kind temperament to tease her, she deserves to die of illness!"

Li Wan scolded: "Biyue, he is dead, please stop saying a few words."

Biyue pouted and said, "I never said anything wrong. It was not the Fourth Master who was wrong..."

"Biyue!"

Biyue immediately shut up and turned around to clean up outside. Suyun thought for a moment, secretly wondering if it was Fourth Master Jian who took action? Didn't it mean that Jia Rui was involved in a lawsuit?

I couldn't figure it out for a moment, but I just felt that Fourth Master Jian was really powerful. The three masters and servants were helpless, and Fourth Master Jian easily plotted Jia Rui to death.

A woman called the door outside, and Biyue hurried to greet her. She turned around in a moment and found a letter in her hand.

"Grandma, a letter from Jinling."

"Oh?" Li Wan took the letter and only looked at the cover to see that it was handwritten by his father, Li Shouzhong.

I opened the wax seal, took out the letter, unfolded it and looked at it carefully. I let out a sigh of relief, then felt worried again. As expected, the father did not agree with the marriage between Brother Jian and the second girl, but how should he talk to the elder about this matter?

After receiving the letter, he saw that there seemed to be some paper inside the envelope. Li Wan took it out and opened it, but it was handwritten by his mother.

There was concern at first, and then scolding. Why didn't Li Wan stop this frivolous act of saying that Li Wan's eldest sister is like a mother and brother Jian is like that?

Because of Li Wan's mistakes, the Li family is extremely unfavorable to the Jia family!

His daughter had already fallen into the pit of fire, how could Li Shouzhong watch his nephew jump in too?

Although Li Shouzhong sticks to the old ways and eats the same old things, he can still see his charm now. Ningrong's second house is just superficially glamorous now, and among the four great families in Jinling, the Wang family is now in front, followed by the Shi family, followed by the Jia family.

As for the Xue family, hey, who cares about the Xue family now? Because Aunt Xue and Wang Ziteng are brothers and sisters, the tigers, leopards and wolves outside may have come up and bit the Xue family into pieces.

Li Wan's face turned red when she saw it. She recalled that when Brother Jian stayed at Rongguo Mansion, she only visited him once every ten and a half days. Although she and Brother Jian are siblings, they are not biological siblings after all, because some things must be avoided.

Unexpectedly, because of this, Brother Jian ended up getting involved with the second girl.

Looking further down, his mother's affairs have come to this point, so she has to let her father Li Shouzhong come to be the villain, and only bites him to death. Now brother Jian is a second-class man, and the second girl from the concubine of the Jia family is not worthy, so there is no need to mention the rest.

Li Wan thought for a long time and thought about asking the old lady, but he was just his granddaughter-in-law, and the second girl was his biological granddaughter. No matter what, the old lady couldn't side with him this time... After thinking about it, it seemed that he could only rely on his mother's advice. Got an idea?

While Li Wan was thinking about it, Suyun glanced at the clock that Li Weijian sent and said, "Grandma, it's time to go and wait on the old lady."

Li Wan sighed, put on his outer cloak and led the two maids towards Jia Mu's courtyard. After passing the Weeping Flower Gate, I had just arrived at Holding Xia. I was taking off my outer cloak when I suddenly heard the sound of Daiyu crying sadly from inside.

Li Wan was puzzled, so he asked Yuanyang: "Brother Bao has provoked Miss Lin again?"

Yuanyang took the outer cloak and said, "I just got the news that Lin Yansi is seriously ill. The old lady sent someone to invite the eldest master and the master to come. We will discuss choosing someone to send Miss Lin back to Yangzhou later."

Li Wan frowned and said: "Seriously ill? Why are you sick now? Besides, Lin Yansi is not very old now..."

Yuanyang frowned and said, "Who says it's not true? Even the old lady shed tears. Grandma, please go in and persuade me."

Li Wan nodded, walked around the screen and went inside. He saw Jia's mother holding Daiyu in her arms, and the two were crying together. No matter how much Wang Xifeng tried to persuade her, she couldn't stop crying. Baoyu stood aside with clenched fists, and the wooden man seemed to be in a daze.

Li Wan hurriedly stepped forward and said a few words of comfort, saying that he was just sick now and might not get better in the future. It was not good to cry so early now.

In this case, Jia Mu and Daiyu stopped crying.

After a long while, Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Lian came to know together. When Jia Mu told the matter, not only Jia Zheng frowned, but also Jia Lian, who had always been indifferent to the world, frowned.

Lin Ruhai has a low position and powerful position, and is still in the heart of the emperor. Now he is a big help from the Jia family! If something happens to Lin Ruhai, the men of the Jia family will have little to do in the officialdom, and they will have to rely on Uncle Wang Wang Ziteng.

Jia She was searching for famous doctors in the capital, and Jia Zheng proposed to send some of the best century-old ginseng in the warehouse together. The task of escorting Daiyu naturally fell on Jia Lian.

Daiyu cared about her father and hurriedly led her maid to pack her bags. It was said that the journey would begin immediately, but all the necessary ceremonial arrangements had to be prepared. At this time, it was too cold to go south by boat, and the ship was too bumpy. Daiyu was afraid that her body and bones would not be able to bear it, so she had to prepare carriages and horses.

In this way, I am afraid that I will not be able to set off in three or two days.

After the matter was agreed upon, Jia Mu lost her appetite and forced herself to drink two mouthfuls of porridge before sending everyone away. Li Wan thought to himself that Li Weijian had many contacts with Daiyu, and he was taken care of by Lin Ruhai in Yangzhou, so he had to tell him about this. Because it was early the next morning, he sent money and sent his disciple Yu Liu to deliver a letter to Li Weijian.

Li Wan had just gone out that day, and Jia's mother dismissed the others and called Jia Zheng, who was at home with Xiu Mu, and Jia Lian, who was escorting Daiyu, and talked for a long time in the flower hall at the back.

After half an hour, they were let out. Jia Zheng went to the outer study to have a chat with Qing Ke. Jia Lian just returned to his courtyard. He only sat there for a while and was called over by the elder Jia She.

When they arrived at the east courtyard, the elder Jia She had a gloomy face, and his eyes looked up and down like knives at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian was worried, so he bowed respectfully and said, "Father, are you calling me?" The elder slowly put down the tea cup and said, "What did the old lady say to you?"

"It's still the matter with Uncle Lin. Our ancestors said that if there is any discord, Uncle Lin's property must be brought back."

When the elder heard this, his eyes suddenly shone: "Hey, the old lady is the best at scheming. You must do your best when you go south. If things are really not harmonious, at least bring back Auntie's dowry!" The elder said: " When your aunt got married, our family was in prosperity, and the dowry alone was worth fifty thousand taels. Over the past ten years, it can only be more than this, but not less than this. "

"Yes." Jia Lian bowed and accepted the order.

"Then there is Lin Ruhai's family property...Yan Si is extremely rich. No matter how honest your uncle is, this amount of money will never be too hot. If you can get more than a hundred thousand taels at a time. With this money, we can My family is much more generous."

Jia Lian smiled and nodded: "Father said so."

The eldest master, Jia She, was sitting uneasily at the moment. Seeing Jia Lian's nonchalant look, he couldn't help but feel anxious. I wish I could take her place and escort Daiyu south, so that I can pocket all the property.

"The old lady said something else?"

Jia Lian said: "The ancestors said that after asking my uncle what he wanted, he took Miss Lin's marriage certificate and let Miss Lin and Brother Bao get married in the future when they are old enough."

Why does Jia She care about this? He waved his hand and asked, "What else?"

"There are just miscellaneous things that are not important." Jia Lian tried to deal with it, but in fact, he had grass growing in his heart.

The scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, Jinling Fendai...the thin horse from Yangzhou, the painted boat on the Qinhuai River, his second master Lian is here!

It's pitiful to say that the young master of the Duke's palace didn't even have a serious concubine when he got married. He only had a dowry maid, Ping'er, and depending on Wang Xifeng's face, it took him a long time to be intimate with her. Whenever Wang Xifeng's thoughts went wrong, his second master, Lian, would have to go to the study to find a boy to relieve his anger.

This trip south can be said to be the dragon returning from the sea and the tiger returning to the mountain. Of course, we must pay attention to the things the old lady told us. As for the rest, let’s wait until Second Master Lian has had enough mischief!

When Jia She saw that he was not doing his best, he scolded him intentionally, but there were some things that he couldn't point out face to face. I secretly thought to myself that my brother-in-law would indeed be seriously ill and die in the future, so I would just write a letter to explain. Because he waved his hand impatiently, he sent Jia Lian away.

But he said that when Li Weijian woke up early in the morning, Hongyu was waiting beside him.

Hongyu tied Li Weijian's clothes carefully, looked up and said, "Fourth Master seems to have grown taller."

Li Weijian lowered his head and said with a smile, "You seem to have grown up a bit."

Hongyu felt puzzled, blinked at Li Weijian's gaze, then looked down at the half-exposed embroidered shoes, suddenly blushed, and said angrily: "Fourth Master is not doing anything right..."

Li Weijian smiled, pinched Hong Jade's cheek, and said, "What do you want to do? Today is your son. We have already discussed how to deal with it?"

Li Weijian walked towards the cage in the bedroom, and Hongyu said: "It's not that big of a deal. The Fourth Master gave me a day off today. I thought I would go back to Rongguo Mansion to see my parents first, and when I came back later in the afternoon, my aunt said I could join in. Celebrating my birthday with me, I even invited a daughter-in-law to make me laugh."

Li Weijian took out a brocade box from the cage, held it in his hand and returned, saying: "How can I help Qiu Fang buy a banquet for ten taels of silver without paying the bill? I am celebrating your birthday. Here, open it and take a look. .”

"What?" Hongyu took it happily and unfolded the brocade box, revealing a pair of golden hairpins inlaid with pearls and orchids.

"It's beautiful, but too expensive."

Li Weijian said, "Just keep it. I'll come back as soon as possible today and join you in the fun."

"Ah."

Afterwards, Li Weijian went to Dezi Garden to practice with Xiu Ying, and had breakfast. Just as he was going to the Yamen, Qian Xue came to report that there was a man named Yu Liu who had brought a letter to his eldest grandmother Li Wan. Come.

Li Weijian took the letter, and the first thing he saw was that the eldest sister Li Wan had received the letter from his uncle. Li Wan and Li Weijian discussed that she should come forward to reject the uncle's family; then they brought up another matter. Lin Ruhai is seriously ill!

Is Lin Ruhai seriously ill now?

Putting it this way, doesn't it mean that Daiyu will leave for the south in the next few days?

Li Weijian held the letter and thought. Sister Lin was going south, so naturally he wanted to see her off. If my memory is correct, it seems that it took a full year for Daiyu to turn around.

Li Weijian couldn't remember exactly when Lin Ruhai died of illness. But based on this inference, it is not expected that Lin Ruhai will die of illness at this time.

After arriving in this world, Li Weijian realized how powerful ethics and education were. In Li Weijian's previous life, things like having an affair without a matchmaker and giving or receiving privately were at most a moral issue, but now they are against the law.

Therefore, before Lin Ruhai died, he would definitely leave Daiyu's marriage letter. Don't forget that only Lin Ruhai's family is not prosperous, but the Lin family has several other rooms. Lin Daiyu's surname was Lin. Without Lin Ruhai's marriage certificate, how could Jia's grandmother be in charge of Daiyu's marriage?

Calculating this, if Li Weijian wants to dismantle the alliance of wood and stone, he must take advantage of this less than a year to go south, meet Lin Ruhai who is still alive, and get Daiyu's marriage certificate... If he can't get it, At the very least, Rongguo Mansion cannot get it.

After making up his mind, Li Weijian folded the paper, walked out quickly, and took a car to the Yamen. Today he only paid a visit to Du Yusi. He spoke to the chief before noon and left early.

The carriages and horses left Duyusi and headed straight for Rongguo Mansion.

He entered the Yimen all the way, turned around the corridor, passed the hanging flower door and arrived in front of the Rongqing Hall. He walked around the screen and saw Sanchun and Baochai there, comforting Daiyu with your words and mine.

Yuanyang said: "Fourth Master Jian, the old lady had a nightmare last night and woke up several times. Now she thinks she is sleepy."

Li Weijian nodded and said, "Then let the old lady sleep for a while, and I'll talk to Sister Lin."

He entered, and several people looked at him. Li Weijian greeted everyone, and when he looked at Daiyu, whose face was full of worry, he felt extremely distressed.

A good little girl lost her mother first and then her father. She stayed with her parents for only a few years after she was born, but she spent most of her life under the care of others and was raised at the knees of her grandmother.

Daiyu's heart suddenly hurt when she touched that gentle and compassionate gaze, and said: "Fourth Brother Jian."

"Well, sister, don't think too much. Maybe Lin Yansi caught the cold and will recover for a while. Maybe Lin Yansi's illness will be cured once my sister arrives in Yangzhou."

Baochai also consoled her at the side: "What Fourth Brother Jian said makes sense. Isn't it the same for Grandma Rong of Dongfu? She couldn't get up a few days ago, but now after taking a few doses of medicine, she is getting better." As long as we survive the spring, the disease will take a turn for the better."
