Miss Lin Family of the Red Chamber

"Greetings to Mrs. Lin." Steward Lin paid respects to Mrs. Huiyin. Mrs. Huiyin's name was passed down from afar, not only from family members but also from lay people.

"You came to pick up girl Yan, but unfortunately that girl went out to search for medicine and hasn't returned yet. I'm afraid your trip was in vain." Before Meng Yan left, she asked Mrs. Huiyin to find an excuse for her to go out to find medicine.

"Master, did my eldest miss say when she will be back?"

"unknown."

"Oh!"

Lin Butler, who had been looking at Mrs. Huiyin expectantly with both eyes, froze in an instant. Hey, how can he explain to the master when the eldest lady is not going back.Before coming here, the master specifically confessed that he would take the eldest lady back. Butler Lin secretly handled many things for Lin Ruhai, so he naturally knew that the reason why Lin Ruhai did this was for the safety of the eldest lady.

After receiving the news that Meng Yan was not in Miaoyue Temple and that he had no time to return, Steward Lin did not stay in Miaoyue Temple, so he immediately went down the mountain and returned to the city.

"Master Huiyin didn't say who Yan'er went to look for medicine with?" Lin Ruhai asked, pinching his brows. He thought that Nuhe went out with Master Huiyin, but never thought it was not.

Originally, Yan'er thought that Lin Ruhai was very pleased that Yan'er could take so much trouble for Yu'er, but now she is more worried.

"It is said that the elder nun in the nunnery went out with the eldest lady, but I didn't say where."

Butler Lin is thoughtful, he has already asked about everything imaginable in Miaoyue Temple.

"Master, do you want to send someone to find Missy?"

"No, sending people out won't leak the news that Yan'er is away, which is not good for Yan'er." Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment and then said: "In this way, if you silence the person who went out today, it will be treated as your pick-up for Yan'er on this trip. came back."

When Lin Ruhai said this, Butler Lin immediately understood that Lin Ruhai wanted to confuse outsiders so that they would not know that the eldest lady was still outside so as to protect her comprehensively.

"The old slave knows."

Meng Yan didn't know that Lin Ruhai sent someone to her, and she was doing her best to consolidate her cultivation at this time.

Although she was well prepared, Meng Yan did not have a master to guide her, she just groped and practiced on her own, and the urgency and desire for success in the process of cultivation left her with many potential hidden dangers and disadvantages; these Gongji successes she obtained from the Gongji stage to the Jindan stage Among them, what surprises Meng Yan the most is that she has obtained the monk's memory inheritance.It is a female cultivator's hundreds of years of practice memory.

It is precisely because of some of these memories that she knows the hidden dangers she inadvertently left in the process of cultivation. This time Gong Ji is the best opportunity to solve the hidden dangers.Meng Yan has no distracting thoughts and concentrates on cultivating, insisting in her heart that all hidden dangers must be solved together.

Meng Yan, who was immersed in her cultivation, did not know the passage of time, and the time had already exceeded her original plan.

Meng Yan didn't come back, Lin Ruhai and Meng shi were worried about their daughter while letting people release the news that Meng Yan had returned to the mansion, and at the same time let the servants of Lin's mansion get busy preparing for the little daughter's birthday.

It was a lively day in the Lin Mansion, and the second lady in the mansion would definitely be rewarded by the master on her birthday today. The servants of the Lin Mansion were extraordinarily diligent, and everyone looked happy and walked briskly.

Mrs. Meng took her maidservants to Xianlangyuan where Daiyu lived. The name of the courtyard where Daiyu lived was given by Meng Yan after overpowering everyone. The first line in the song "Wang Ning Mei" is "One is the fairy flower of Langyuan and the other is the flawless jade".The Langyuan fairy flower in the lyrics naturally refers to Daiyu, the crimson pearl fairy grass.

"Is Second Miss up?"

"Mother, I'm already up, please come in quickly, mother." Daiyu who just got up in the house was letting the maids wait on her to wash and dress, when she heard Meng's voice, she hurriedly asked to come in.Daiyu stopped the maid who dressed her and waited for Meng Shi to enter the house to greet Meng Shi.

"Yu'er pays respects to mother."

"Don't be too polite, get up quickly, today is your birthday."

Meng tried her best to look happy, but Daiyu couldn't see the deep worry in Meng's eyes.Seeing the new clothes in the maid's hands, Meng waved her to step down, and then waved for the maid who followed her to come up with the new clothes.

"Yu'er, this is the new dress that mother made for you, you will wear this one today."

Daiyu naturally did not disapprove of what Meng said, and Daiyu was very happy to hear the clothes her mother made for her.Mrs. Meng took the clothes and put them on for Daiyu herself. On the bright red and festive Xiaoru skirt, there were pictures of butterflies playing and hundreds of flowers embroidered with silver thread.

"Do you like it?" Meng Shi asked Daiyu with a light smile.

"I like it, mother, is Yu'er good-looking?" Daiyu smiled coquettishly and walked around in front of Meng Shi.

After all, Daiyu is just a child, even though she is sentimental by nature, she can occasionally be a little lively.

Meng stroking the little bun on Daiyu's head tenderly: "It's pretty, mother's Yu'er is pretty anyway."

There was a touch of warmth between the mother and daughter, and the eyes of the maids who fell on the side all sighed at the kindness of the wife.

All the servants of the Lin family knew that the second lady was not from the Meng family, and many servants knew about the grievances between the Meng family and Jia Min, but the Meng family treated Daiyu very well, especially as if she was her own, which made everyone in the Lin family Everyone thinks Meng Shi is a virtuous and pure person.In the eyes of servants, Ms. Meng is a good mother and mistress, and Ms. Meng's virtuous name was spread in Yangzhou city through the mouth of her servants; Ms. Meng quickly gained a foothold among the officials and female relatives by virtue of this virtuous name.In addition, Lin Ruhai respected and loved her, and the Meng family gave birth to a second son for Lin Ruhai. No one could shake Meng's status whether in the Lin family or in the relationship with female relatives.

"Mother, where's my sister?"

Last night, the news of Meng Yan's return to the mansion spread throughout the mansion. Daiyu slept early and did not know the news of Meng Yan's return until this morning. Of course, she did not know that the news was false, Lin Ruhai released it on purpose.

"Your sister came back in a hurry and forgot to prepare a gift. I'm going out early in the morning to find a gift for you." Meng Shi had already discussed with Lin Ruhai, not to know the truth about Daiyu. After all, Daiyu is too young to say something. Not good.

Mentioning the uncontrollable worry in Mengyan and Mengshi's heart, even the smile on his face seemed a little forced, and even some complaints almost couldn't be suppressed.She smiled a little stiffly and said to Daiyu:

"Let's go, your father, brother and younger brother are still waiting for you, our little birthday star, don't let your father and the others wait in a hurry."

When the mother and daughter arrived at the lobby, Lin Ruhai and Meng Zhou were already waiting there.After Daiyu kowtowed to Lin Ruhai and Meng Shi, Lin Ruhai and others took out gifts for Daiyu one after another.

"Where is my sister, hasn't my sister come back yet?" I was a little unhappy that I didn't see Meng Yan Daiyu, she missed her sister very much.

The smile on Daiyu's face almost didn't stop when she asked this question.

"Cough, your sister didn't come back until noon." Lin Ruhai coughed lightly to cover up his wife's embarrassment, "Okay, Yu'er will take a look at the gift Daddy gave Yu'er first, and see if he likes it."

"Oh."

Daiyu obediently opened the presents.

"Master, a monk came outside and said they wanted to see Master."

The message from the servant outside the door broke the oppressive atmosphere in the house.

Lin Ruhai raised her head and looked at Meng Shi who happened to meet Meng Shi's eyes, both of them were puzzled.

It is very strange for a monk to come to visit together. They have never made friends with such a monk.

"May I ask who is coming?"

"Back to the master, the Taoist monk claimed to be Dashi Mangmang and Daoist Kongkong, and said that he had something to say yes to the master, and the way was related to the second young lady."

"Master Boundless and Daoist Kongkong." Lin Ruhai searched in his mind to make sure that he had never heard of these two people, and at the same time made him a little displeased that his daughter was mentioned by two outsiders.

"Since it's related to Yu'er, why don't you meet and ask the master face to face?"

Because of living in Buddhism for many years, the Meng family respects monks and nuns very much.

"Then listen to Madam." Lin Ruhai was a little hesitant when he heard what Meng said, so he followed the trend and ordered his servants to invite a monk to come in together.

"Amitabha!"

"Infinite Heavenly Venerate!"

"Master Boundless has seen Benefactor Lin."

"Taoist Kong Kong has seen Master Lin."

When they saw Lin Ruhai and his wife, they saluted very politely.Seeing that the two were polite, Lin Ruhai was too embarrassed to be rude, so he returned the courtesy.

"Ruhai has seen two masters, but I don't know why the two masters came to visit."

"The two of us came here for the sake of your lord's daughter. I heard that today is your daughter's birthday. Could your lord invite her to meet you?" The two looked at each other and said directly.

"Come on, please ask your wife to bring the second lady over."

After the servants were ordered to retreat to the backyard, Mrs. Meng brought Daiyu over soon.

Master Mangmang and Taoist Kongkong couldn't help being puzzled when they heard the second lady, but when they saw the Meng family who was leading Daiyu over, they couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

"This, how come? You are? You are not Jia Min!"

Taoist Kongkong pointed at Meng Shidao in shock, Lin Ruhai immediately felt displeased with his words, and Meng Shi's face turned black with anger.The word Jia Min is taboo in the Lin Mansion, from the master down to the servants, no one mentions these two words again.

Not only Taoist Kong Kong was shocked and confused, but also Dao Dao Dao, who looked at Meng Shi in astonishment and said to himself:

"No, why are you here? How could you have survived when you looked like you died young? How could you have survived when you were killed? And Jia Min, how could you be Mrs. Lin?"

Meng Shi was even more shocked. She didn't expect Master Mang Mang to say such a thing. This is not the first time she heard someone say such a thing. Mrs. Hui Yin also said that she died young and was lucky to have a fate. Only by helping each other can we survive the catastrophe of life and death. As long as we survive the catastrophe of death, we will have a smooth life and be rich until we grow old.Her current life just confirmed the words of Mrs. Huijian.

She didn't even mention these things to the master and the two children. How does this Taoist know.

Compared with Taoist Kongkong's words, Lin Ruhai was furious at Dao Mangmang's words.Lin Ruhai lowered his face and stared angrily at the vast masters.

"What do you two mean, are you here on purpose to make trouble?"

"Lord Lin calm down."

Taoist Kongkong angered Lin Ruhai and his wife when they saw Dashi Mangmang's words, and hurried forward to persuade them, no matter why Meng Shi is here or where Jia Min has gone, the most important thing for them is to turn the crimson pearl fairy grass away and ignore it.

Only then did Master Mang Mang come back to his senses, and he only heard him say: "Almsgiver, Ling Ai is born weak and may not last long. It is better to let her become a monk with us, so that she will be safe all her life."

"Nonsense, my Yu'er is fine, how can you let this ship curse me." Obedient Lin Ruhai was furious immediately, and Meng Shi, who was standing beside Lin Ruhai, also scolded angrily:

"God has the virtue of good life, you two curse my daughter like this for no reason, are you not afraid of being sent by heaven?"

"Almsgiver, you two are reluctant to part with her, but I'm afraid that her illness will never recover for the rest of her life! If she wants to recover, unless she is not allowed to cry from now on, except for her parents, she will be safe if she has no relatives. This life."

"Presumptuous, it's ridiculous!" Meng Zhou walked in from the arched door, also with a look of anger on his face: "How can my Lin family allow you, a crazy monk, to come here to mess around, how dare you curse my sister, come here to kill the two of them Take it and send it to the government for investigation."

When Master Mangmang and Taoist Kongkong heard Meng Zhou's words and saw the servants of the Lin Mansion approaching, they knew something was wrong. They disappeared from the Lin Mansion the instant they left a word.

"Please think about it again, the benefactor. After three days, the two of us will come to pick up the daughter."

Everyone in the Lin family was stunned by this scene, so they didn't pay attention to what the two said.Meng Zhou also couldn't help being frightened when he saw this scene, he looked at Lin Ruhai in a panic: "Daddy?"

"Zhou'er, don't be afraid, it's fine..." Lin Ruhai saw his son's fear. Although he was quite frightened, he still comforted his son firmly and calmly. Falling unconscious, Meng Shi screamed in terror.

"Yu'er!"
