The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Jia Lian said anxiously: "I haven't redeemed myself for Miss Yimei yet."

Lin Yun said speechlessly: "Haven't you seen it yet? Cao Jijiu appears here to stop you from redeeming yourself for Miss Yimei."

Jia Lian asked in confusion, "How do you say that?"

Lin Yun: "Didn't you notice just now? You had an argument with Cao Jijiu, what's Miss Yimei's attitude? Is she on your side?"

Jia Lian said awkwardly: "Is she afraid of offending the guests?"

Lin Yun said angrily: "If she is determined to go with you, is she still afraid of offending the guests?"

"This~"

Lin Yun: "You try again tonight. If I guess right, Miss Yimei will definitely not see you again."

Jia Lian said anxiously, "How is this possible?"

Lin Yun: "Believe it or not, you will know when you try it at night."

"I don't believe it. Miss Yimei is definitely not this kind of person."

Lin Yun secretly sighed in his heart, "Aunt Xue is so quick, I really underestimated her."

Chapter 148: Xiang Ling

The search for Xiangling was not going well, Xiao Mo and Du Sha were not locals, so it was difficult to get in touch with those human traffickers hiding in the dark.

In desperation, Lin Yun could only ask them to go to Xue Pan for help.Since the Xue family runs a business like a brothel, they must have channels to contact those traffickers.

...

After dinner, Jia Lian went to the Songzhu Pavilion Painting Studio again, but was turned away by Miss Yimei.

Although Lin Yun had vaccinated him in advance, Second Master Lian still couldn't accept this cruel reality, and ended up getting drunk.

I don't know if he figured it out, or he didn't want to face Miss Yimei again. After waking up the next day, Jia Lian asked the boy to pack his luggage and return to Beijing immediately.

...

At the dock outside the city, Lin Yun was here to see Jia Lian off.

Before parting, Jia Lian asked Lin Yun, "Brother Yun, did you expect that we would end up like this?"

Lin Yun nodded and said: "You are the direct descendant of the Duke's Mansion, and your status is too far from that of Miss Yimei. It is almost impossible for you two to get together."

Jia Lian smiled wryly, "You always see farther than I do."

Lin Yun: "Brother Lian, if you want to take control of your life, you have to become stronger."

"I see."

After a pause, Jia Lian said again: "Brother Yun, I hope you can help her win the title of Oiran."

"Okay, I'll do my best to help her."

"Thank you!"

Jia Lian cupped his hands at Lin Yun, then turned and walked towards the boat.

At this moment, Xue Pan ran down from a carriage and shouted: "Second brother Lian, wait a moment."

Jia Lian looked back at Xue Pan, and then continued walking to the boat.

Xue Pan ran over panting and asked Lin Yun, "What's wrong with Brother Lian? Why did he suddenly return to Beijing?"

Lin Yun: "Second brother Lian has something urgent to go back to Beijing to deal with, and he doesn't have time to say goodbye to his aunt. When you go back, make a confession to your aunt for him."

Xue Pan said hurriedly: "Okay."

Lin Yun asked again: "I ask you to help find someone, do you have any news?"

Xue Pan: "I was just about to tell you about this. There is a place in Nancheng that specializes in training thin horses. It is said that there is a little girl there who looks very similar to what you said. I plan to take people there to have a look later."

Lin Yun: "It happens that I'm fine, let's go together."

"That would be better."

While the two were talking, they saw an official walking out of the boat surrounded by more than a dozen officers.

As soon as the official landed, he heard an officer walking in front shouting at the top of his voice, "Your Excellency Yu, the Imperial Envoy of the Lianghuai Salt Patrol, has arrived, and the idlers wait to avoid it as quickly as possible."

Seeing this, Lin Yun complained secretly in his heart, this spectrum in the adults is really big enough.

Xue Pan asked from the side: "Brother Lin, isn't the Salt Inspector of the Huaihe River the same official your uncle used to be?"

"Exactly."

Lin Yun nodded, then looked at Master Yu who was getting into the sedan chair.

Yu Minzhi looks to be in his 50s, with a slightly chubby figure, a Chinese-character face, and regular facial features.

Lin Yun thought to himself, "Yu Minzhi has just taken office as a new official, so what is he doing here in Jinling?"

...

In the south of the city, Lotus Lane, this is the most common street in Jinling City.Most of the people living around are ordinary people.

Lin Yun and Xue Pan arrived at the entrance of the alley in a carriage and saw a dark and thin middle-aged man standing by the road and bowing to greet him.

After the carriage came to a complete stop, Xue Pan stepped out of the carriage and asked the thin black man, "Sun Youtian, have you brought the person I want?"

Sun Youtian hurriedly said: "Reporting to my lord, the young man has been found for you, but the other party asked for 500 taels of silver before releasing him."

Xue Pan heard this and said angrily: "A little girl dares to ask for 500 taels of silver. Are they trying to steal money?"

Sun Youtian: "I think you must be too eager to ask for it, which makes them want to raise the price."

Lin Yun got out of the carriage and said, "Take us to see the person first. The money will be easy to discuss."

Sun Youtian said hurriedly: "Okay, please come with me."

Under the leadership of Sun Youtian, several people came to a remote small courtyard.

Sun Youtian went forward and knocked on the door a few times, then heard a crash, the courtyard door opened, and a head appeared from inside, and said to Sun Youtian, "Second Sun, did someone bring it?"

Sun Youtian nodded and said, "Here we are."

Lin Yun stepped forward and was about to go in when the person blocking the door said anxiously to Lin Yun: "You can't all go in, only two of you can come in."

Xue Pan said angrily: "Fart, uncle, I grew up in Jinling City since I was a child. Can I still blackmail you?"

The man smiled and said, "Uncle Xue, you are an acquaintance, but they are not."

Lin Yun smiled and said, "Well, I'll just bring a guard in. Is that okay?"

The man thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll let you bring a guard."

Lin Yun turned around and asked Xiao Mo and Du Sha to stay with Xue Pan's servants, and only took Zhong Yi and Xue Pan into the yard.

When I entered the door, I saw several strong young men standing in the yard, looking at them eagerly.

In front of several men, a man who looked like a teacher cupped his hands at Xue Pan and said with a smile, "Uncle Xue, I'm here to greet you."

Xue Pan said impatiently: "Liu Wuye, let's stop talking nonsense, you quickly lead him out, let my brother take a look."

"Row."

Liu Wuye raised his hand and patted it a few times, and saw two people walking out from a room behind him, a middle-aged woman came out leading a girl in red,

Because the girl lowered her head, Lin Yun couldn't see clearly what she looked like.

The middle-aged woman approached and saluted Xue Pan: "Uncle Xue, this girl is the one you want."

After the woman finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and lifted the girl's chin, showing Xue Pan and the others to see it.

The shabby clothes could not conceal the girl's beautiful appearance, between the eyebrows, there was a small pink rouge mark, impressively.

After Lin Yun saw the young girl's face, he was secretly excited. This girl was indeed similar to Ke Qing by six or seven points, and with the rouge mark between her eyebrows, she was undoubtedly Xiang Ling.

Xue Pan cheered from the side: "This girl is indeed beautiful."

Liu Wuye said cheerfully: "Uncle Xue, with this girl's beauty, asking you for 500 taels of silver is not a loss, is it?"

Lin Yun took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, counted out 500 taels, handed it to Master Liu Wu, and said, "I'll give you the banknotes. I'll take them away."

Liu Wuye took the banknote, counted it, and said: "Okay, the money and goods are cleared, you can lead the people away.

Lin Yun stepped forward to hold the girl's hand, and said softly, "Come with me."

The girl asked weakly: "Who are you? Where are you taking me?"

"My name is Lin Yun, and I'm here to pick you up."

The girl seemed to feel the kindness from his words and followed him out of the yard obediently.

After helping the girl into the carriage, Lin Yun approached Zhong Yi's ear, and said in a low voice, "Follow that Fifth Master Liu. Find their den."

Zhong Yi: "When will we do it?"

"There's no rush, let's find out who is behind them first."

"Ok."

Chapter 149: Lack of Love

Back on the cruise ship, Lin Yun asked Du Sha to invite Liu Ruoxu's maid over to help Xiangling buy some clothes and daily necessities.

At the same time, he asked Xiao Mo to ask the old miracle doctor to come over, hoping that the old man would confirm whether Xiang Ling was Qin Keqing's sister.

The old miracle doctor came very quickly. As soon as they met, he said anxiously to Lin Yun: "Xiao Mo said that you found a girl who looks very similar to Ke Qing. Is this true?"

Lin Yun nodded and said, "It's true. I invited you here just to ask you, does Keqing have a sister?"

The old miracle doctor nodded and said, "Ke Qing does have a younger sister who is fostered in the Zhen family in Suzhou."

Lin Yun: "Does that girl have a rouge mark between her eyebrows?"

The old genius doctor said happily after hearing the words: "That's right, that girl does have a mark of rouge between her eyebrows."

After a pause, the old miracle doctor said again: "Where is the man, call me out and let me have a look."

"She's taking a bath in it, please wait a moment."
