From the Red Mansion, you can travel through the world of martial arts

Chapter 109 Assassination
The treatment ended after about an hour.

Lin Ruhai invited Jia Wei to have dinner, and Jia Wei naturally accepted. The three of them chatted for another while.

"Brother, you are now leading the Jinyiwei, so you can't abandon your books. Reading more will be good for you and won't waste your talent."

This was the first time that Jia Wei was advised to study, and he responded, "Uncle is right, I'll take note of it."

Daiyu looked at him in confusion. She knew that Jia Wei was so talented because of those excellent poems. So how did Lin Ruhai know that Jia Wei was talented?

Could it be that someone who is outstanding in martial arts also has some attainments in literature? She was puzzled for a moment, but did not ask any more questions.

Jia Wei felt a little guilty. Daiyu lived in a wealthy family and as a woman, she had no channels to obtain news from the outside world.

But Lin Ruhai paid special attention to the salt merchants, so he must have known what happened on the misty boat last night. He had heard the line "I see how charming the green mountains are", so he naturally knew that he had married Liu Rushi...

Food, sex and nature are part of human nature. It is normal for him to like beautiful women at such a young age.

Well, that's normal!
He changed the subject and said, "Sister Lin, my uncle's health is getting better and he will be fully recovered soon. What are your plans? Are you going back to Beijing or staying in Yangzhou?"

When Daiyu heard this, the smile on her face faded. It seemed that she had not thought about this issue yet.

After Jia Wei sent a letter back to Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu also wrote back. In the letter, Jia Wei was asked to help take care of Lin Ruhai's funeral and bring Daiyu back, as well as the property of Daiyu's mother Jia Min...

Jia Wei didn't take it to heart and was too lazy to pay attention to Grandmother Jia.

Daiyu paused and said, "Daddy has just fallen seriously ill, so I have to stay in Yangzhou to take care of him. I have been in the capital since I was a child, and I have not served dad for a single day, which has damaged my filial piety. Now that I am back, I have to make up for it... I wrote a letter to my grandmother yesterday, and she will understand."

Whether Jia's grandmother could understand it or not, Jia Wei didn't know, but Baoyu would definitely go crazy if he knew that Daiyu was not going back.

Jia Wei would stay in Lianghuai for no more than one or two months, and he would definitely have to go back before the end of the year. He looked at Lin Ruhai, and it would naturally be his decision whether Daiyu stayed or left.

Jia Wei knew that Lin Ruhai had sent Daiyu away when she was a child, so there was no reason for him to keep her now...

Lin Ruhai said slowly: "There are maids and servants in the mansion, why do we need you to serve us?"

When Daiyu heard this, her eyes turned red.

"You are weak and sickly. If you stay at home, you will have no mother to take care of you, and no sisters or brothers to support you. You should go back to Beijing to live with your grandmother and your uncle's sisters... and my brother, so that I can worry less."

Daiyu was as sad as when she was sent to the capital when she was young, but she could not disobey her father's order. Daiyu lowered her head and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Jia Wei also sighed.

Judging from Lin Ruhai's attitude, he will continue to manage the salt business and fight against the salt merchants after he recovers from his illness...

Lin Ruhai was not ill, but was poisoned. He was in danger in Yangzhou. If he did not send Daiyu to Rongguo Mansion in the capital, it would be a problem for her to grow up.

But all these difficulties cannot be told to Daiyu, as it will only make her worry and upset.

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Wei and said, "The world is not peaceful now. Yu'er also encountered pirates when she came back. I have to trouble Brother Wei to bring Yu'er with you when you go to the capital. I will feel relieved."

Jia Wei said: "These are all my responsibilities. Don't worry, uncle, I will protect Sister Lin..."

Lin Ruhai had just recovered from a serious illness and needed more rest. After a brief conversation, Daiyu and Jia Wei left.

Inside the room, Daiyu was reading a book that Jia Wei bought in Linqing.

Jia Wei looked at Daiyu and saw that she was still a little absent-minded and had not turned a page for a long time. He knew that she was still sad about Lin Ruhai's words.

"Sister, why don't you take me for a walk in the yard?"

Daiyu agreed, and the two of them, together with the two maids Zijuan and Xueyan, started strolling in the backyard.

This backyard covers a large area, with three rows of houses and three entrances, and courtyards stacked on top of each other, which is very different from the architectural style and layout of the capital.

The Beijing style is a complex architectural style that emphasizes the sense of spatial hierarchy. It often adopts halls, corridors, courtyards and other forms, giving people a spacious and bright feeling.

The south of the Yangtze River has many white walls and black tiles, often with a garden-like feel, and rugged rocks, always showing the interest of nature.

Jia Wei strolled in the garden and saw the mountains surrounded by water and the winding paths leading to secluded places, which he liked very much.

"The East Palace is also renovating the garden. It will be completed in half a year. When the time comes, I will invite my sister to come and visit and appreciate our presence."

"When the time comes, will Second Brother invite me alone, or will he invite every sister?" Daiyu smiled absentmindedly, but the question she asked was not ambiguous at all.

Jia Wei smiled and said, "Of course, I will only invite Sister Lin. When Sister Lin has finished, I will have the garden locked. No other sisters will be allowed to see the garden again."

Daiyu blushed and said quickly, "You didn't build the garden for me!"

"It could also be built for Sister Lin..."

Daiyu spat and said angrily, "You are still a brother, what are you talking about!"

After saying this, she ignored Jia Wei and walked out quickly, as if she was angry.

Jia Wei smiled and followed slowly while admiring the quiet garden.

There are many green plants and lush bamboo in the yard, creating a pleasant environment and fresh air.

When he turned a corner, he didn't see Daiyu, but saw Ding Baiying who stayed in the salt yard.

Seeing that there was no one around, Jia Wei hugged Ding Baiying into his arms.

"What's wrong with you?"

"After not seeing you for one night, are you itching for trouble again?" Jia Wei put his arm around her waist and pinched her buttocks.

"Come, have a bite with me."

Although Ding Baiying was unwilling, she could not escape being held in the arms, and could only have her mouth blocked by Jia Wei.

After exchanging body fluids, Ding Baiying's body became soft.

"Where is Sister Lin?"

"Sit in the pavilion over there." Ding Baiying said in a muffled voice.

Jia Wei took her hand and led her away: "Don't look so gloomy, I'll take you away tonight."

She sneered, "You slept with that beautiful nun? She must have run away, right?" Jia Wei sneered, "Go back tonight and see if there are any other people."

Although the beautiful nun left, a little maid came again. Didn't expect that? !

Ding Baiying snorted twice and said nothing.

After a moment, she continued, "I saw a man in the government office in front this morning. He looked like a gangster. I don't think I can beat him."

Jia Wei said: "You definitely can't beat him. That's Zhao Huaian. Do you know this person?"

"Zhao Huaian? He is still alive." Ding Baiying sighed. Zhao Huaian assassinated the governor of the East Factory back then, and his name was known throughout the world. Ding Baiying must have heard of it.

As the two men were talking, they came to a pavilion, forest and water pond with a winding corridor. There was a pavilion in the middle, and there were three figures in the pavilion.

Ding Baiying quietly broke free from Jia Wei's hand. Jia Wei said, "Why are you feeling guilty? She's just my sister."

Ding Baiying ignored him and walked forward.

Daiyu called her "Sister Ding" and the two met.

Jia Wei walked slowly to the pavilion. Daiyu glanced at him quietly. Jia Wei had just provoked her, and he was flirting with Ding Baiying... But she was still his concubine, so there was no reason for her to be angry.

Jia Wei sat down in the pavilion. A breeze blew gently, and the sound of swaying branches and leaves echoed around him, making the place even more quiet.

He sighed: "Jiangnan is such a great place."

Daiyu asked, "Is it better than the capital?"

"a."

After saying this, Daiyu remembered that she would be returning to the capital with Jia Wei soon. She couldn't help feeling sad and asked, "Second brother Wei, when will you return to the capital?"

"I went south on a serious mission, and I have to finish my work before returning. It will probably take a month or two."

Jia Wei paused and said, "Sister, don't be sad. When I have free time in the spring or summer of next year, I will accompany you to Yangzhou to visit Uncle Lin."

If anyone else said this, it would just be temporary consolation, but since Jia Wei said this, he would definitely be able to do it.

Daiyu was grateful in her heart, but she didn't know how to respond to this question for the moment.

The capital is a thousand miles away from Yangzhou.

Who was she to ask Jia Wei to accompany her on a two thousand mile journey?

No one spoke for a while, only the sound of wind blowing leaves rustling.

Daiyu felt that this moment was very good.

"Girl, you can't stand the wind, let's go back."

"it is good……"

At dinner time, Lin Ruhai had already gone to bed. Jia Wei sat in the main seat, with Daiyu and Ding Baiying sitting on his left and right.

Zijuan holds the rice, Xueyan places the chopsticks and serves the soup.

Daiyu smiled and said, "My family is not as grand and wealthy as the Duke's or the Earl's, nor is it as luxurious and pleasant as Sister Bao's courtyard. Don't despise me, Second Brother."

Although Ding Baiying knew that Daiyu had something else in mind, he didn't know what she was talking about, so he just ate his food.

Jia Wei nodded and said, "Each has its own merits. The dish is better without sugar."

"Isn't Second Brother Wei from Jinling? The difference in taste between the two places shouldn't be that big, right?"

Jia Wei smiled and said nothing.

No food.

After dinner, Jia Wei took Ding Baiying with him and said goodbye to Daiyu.

Jiangnan is a prosperous place with no curfew. It is just getting dark and there are still some people on the streets.

A team of Jinyiwei paraded through the city, attracting a lot of attention.

Jia Wei looked up and saw only a full moon hanging in the night sky, but no sea of ​​stars.

The moonlight in the south of the Yangtze River seems to be hazier than the moonlight in Beijing.

Jia Wei felt a chill on the back of his neck as raindrops fell. He spread out his palms and strings of raindrops fell. The rain seemed to be getting heavier.

Suddenly he turned his head and whispered to Ding Baiying: "Do you feel it?"

Ding Baiying was puzzled: "What?"

"Murderous."

Ding Baiying was suspicious and couldn't help but grasp the hilt of the knife.

"Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!"

Suddenly, three black arrows shot out from the night sky at an astonishing speed, heading straight towards Jia Wei.

Ding Baiying had been warned and drew out his Embroidered Spring Sword in a flash. The short arrow hit the back of the sword, creating a spark that was extremely dazzling in the dark night.

"Protect uncle!"

The Jinyiwei troops were instantly alarmed.

Jia Wei turned his head and saw a black shadow leaping up from a building on the side and disappearing into the night sky in the blink of an eye.

Jia Wei looked at the black arrow on the ground and laughed out loud, then he turned to Ding Baiying.

"Why don't you chase him?"

Ding Baiying glared at him, rode out of the Jinyiwei formation, found the right direction, whipped his horse and galloped...
