The news of Lin Hai's death was sent back to the capital in eight hundred miles. Before the first seven days had passed, the son of Prince Jing of Beijing flew to Yangzhou to express his condolences on behalf of the emperor.King Beijing and Lin Hai are sworn brothers, and everyone in the court knows it. Because King Beijing is fighting against the enemy at the border, the Holy One ordered the son of King Beijing to pass on the decree. mean.

Prince Shui Rong traveled day and night, and arrived in Yangzhou in two days. As soon as he entered Yangzhou City, he saw manuscripts all over the city. Passers-by on the road were all lamenting, and Shui Rong felt more and more sad. He came to Xunyan Yushi Yamen, But seeing that the middle door of the yamen was wide open, the people of the Lin family had already knelt down to welcome them out.Shui Rong jumped off the horse, stepped forward to help Daiyu who was kneeling in the middle, choked with grief and said: "Miss Lin, please get up quickly."

Xueyan Zijuan helped Daiyu up, Shui Rong saw Daiyu's frail body shaking, and hurriedly said: "Miss Lin, please lead the way for Qinghan, Qinghan wants to offer incense to Mr. It will not be too late to issue the decree."

Daiyu's voice was a little hoarse from crying, and she could only support herself with Zijuan's support. She nodded and said softly: "Your Majesty, be polite."

Shui Rong knelt down on both knees in front of Lin Hai's spirit, kneeling three heads respectfully, Daiyu returned the salute at the side, even the rough linen filial piety clothes could not cover Daiyu's aura, Shui Rong turned to look at Daiyu, feeling unreasonable in his heart She trembled, not seen for several years, the little girl carved in pink and jade was more and more beautiful, the sadness on her face made Shui Rong's heart feel as if it was scratched hard by something, it hurt so badly, Shui Rong suddenly wanted to put This weak and helpless girl was embraced in her arms, and she was tightly protected, so that there was no trace of sadness on her face.

"Miss Lin, don't be afraid. Although the master is gone, there is still me, and I will definitely protect you." Shui Rong looked at Daiyu, and the words from the bottom of his heart suddenly rushed out, but Daiyu's pale face turned pale again. A few minutes later, big teardrops rolled in her eyes and fell to the ground. Daiyu was annoyed and aggrieved, she turned around and fell into Zijuan's arms and cried loudly.Shui Rong was so anxious that his face turned pale, and now he realized that he was too aggressive, but he didn't know how to persuade Daiyu, so he rubbed his hands and said anxiously: "Miss Lin, don't cry, I... Uncle Lin is my husband , you are my junior sister, the master is gone, you should take care of me as a senior brother, I have no other intentions..." Seeing that Daiyu didn't listen to persuasion, she kept crying, even in the winter , Shui Rong also broke out in a sweat.

Both Zijuan and Xueyan couldn't persuade Daiyu, and Daiyu cried until her heart broke, calling for her father, and Xueyan hurriedly asked Lan Xin to invite Huiyun.Huiyun ran over quickly, hugged Daiyu and whispered a few words in her ear, and Daiyu stopped crying with sobs, just knelt aside and lowered her head to weep silently, ignoring Shui Rong.Shui Rong sees Daiyu's grief is even worse, he feels extremely sad, and he comforts him softly in every possible way.But Daiyu just didn't speak, leaving Shui Rong helpless.

Huiyun sighed lightly, and said to Shui Rong: "It must be very hard for the prince to travel thousands of miles. Please go and rest first. When the servant of the prince arrives, he will go to invite the prince."

After hearing this, Shui Rong shook his head and said, "Thank you, Aunt Yun, Mr. has a teacher-student relationship with me. In terms of etiquette, I should also watch for Mr. Lin. Miss Lin is weak, so go and rest first."

Huiyun shook his head at Shui Rong, everyone in the family had persuaded Daiyu, but Daiyu insisted on refusing to do so, she would kneel in front of the coffin and go to rest without saying anything.It made everyone feel distressed, but they couldn't help her.Thanks to Lin Cheng's proficient medical skills, he cooked excellent tonic soup for Daiyu every day, which made Daiyu persevere.

Afraid that Daiyu would be abrupt, Shui Rong knelt down opposite Daiyu and stood guard in front of the spirit, and knelt for a few days.Seeing that Prince Jing of Beijing personally guarded Lin Hai's spirit, more people came to express their condolences, and all the adults and officials from the Jiangnan area were present.Everyone knows that Prince Jing's son is extremely favored. If he can make a good impression on him, he may not have a good future in the future.

Three days later, the eunuchs and water-soluble attendants sent by the emperor arrived, and Daiyu received the imperial edict. Jiangnan officials saw that the emperor personally bestowed Lin Haimi with the title of Wenrui, posthumously named him a first-class public, and added Daiyu the title of Jiangxian County. Lord Shi Shuanglu couldn't help but be amazed at the Lin family. Many officials who had men of Daiyu's age in their families all wanted to marry the Lin family. It was only because Daiyu was still in the filial piety that they couldn't mention it clearly. , but they all brought their own sons to condolences, so as to leave a good impression on Daiyu and plan for the future.Daiyu was very troubled, but fortunately there was a big thick linen filial piety covering her whole body, even if someone stood in front of Daiyu, she couldn't really see Daiyu's face, so Daiyu had to deal with it bravely After a few days, it was finally time for the funeral.

The Lin family was originally from Gusu, and Daiyu wanted to help her spirit return home.The Lin family lived in the Xunyan Censor Yamen in Yangzhou. Once Lin Hai passed away, the yamen should be given to the new Xunyan Censor.That night, Lin Yi, Lin Chenghuiyun found Daiyu, and discussed how to move. Just as they were talking, Jia Lian came to him. He said, "I heard that the new Xunyan Yushi is about to arrive. I don't know how my sister plans to arrange her." Daiyu Yu said softly: "Since my late father left everything to be handled by my second uncle and elder brother, my younger sister will let my second uncle and elder brother handle it without asking."

Jia Lian said anxiously: "My sister's words are not right. My sister doesn't know the economy, so I don't know about it. There are many ways here. I have been a housekeeper for my brother for many years, and I know all about my colors. Why don't you let my brother help Lin?" The housekeeper handles it, so as not to be deceived and suffer a loss."

Daiyu frowned, and was about to speak, but Lin Yi said indifferently: "If the second master Lian is willing to help out, we will be very grateful. I think that with the second master in charge, no one will deceive the Lin family. Two If Master is willing, please come to the account room tomorrow." After hearing this, Jia Lian nodded in satisfaction and said to Daiyu gently: "My sister is always weak, so don't be too sad. She is good at living and raising her. When you return to Beijing, let the old lady see that you have lost weight, so that you will be my brother's legs."

Daiyu nodded silently, and Jia Lianfang left satisfied.

Lin Yi bowed to Daiyu and said: "Miss, if you don't let him know a thing or two, he will not be reconciled. Instead of letting him wander around, it's better to arrest him in the account room. The important accounts have already been sorted out." It's easy to tidy up, there are only a few hundred thousand taels of silver left in the accounts, it's okay to let him look at it, the master once said that the young lady and Ji would have to live in Jia's house before, it's not good to be too stiff." Dai Yu nodded and said softly: "Second Uncle is right, everything is up to Second Uncle, and Daiyu has no objection."

Lin Cheng shook his head and said, "Well, if you follow us, you will definitely not let my sister go to Jia's mansion, but... my sister, Lan Xin Zhu Ying was specially cultivated by my adoptive father. I have learned a lot of skills in the past few years. Go up and down like walking on the ground, in the future you will take the two of them with you, if you are not happy in that mansion, let them send a message, no matter what method we use, we will pick you up."

Daiyu nodded, she knew that after sending her father's coffin back home, she had to go back to Jia's mansion in the capital city, and her father explained a lot of things that night, and many unsolved things were settled in Jia's mansion, if she didn't understand these things, Daiyu felt uneasy.

Lin Yi said again: "Miss, in the capital, everything marked with the word 'Lin' in the plum blossom seal is the property of the Lin family. The master sent people to Beijing to open it since the young lady came to Beijing. It was originally for the temporary needs of the young lady. Later, it grew bigger and bigger, and now more than [-]% of the income of the family comes from the shops in the capital. After sending the coffin of the master back to the hometown, we plan to all go to the capital and quietly buy a house in case of emergencies .”

Daiyu said with tears in her eyes, "Second Uncle, you have taken too much care of Daiyu." Although Lin Yi and Daiyu are not related by blood, his love for Daiyu is comparable to that of Lin Hai. Daiyu was weak when she was a child. Seeking rice porridge from old people in thousands of families, so that children can grow up safely, he walked for half a year and visited all over the south of the Yangtze River before he could find enough thousand grains of rice to cook a bowl of thick rice soup for Daiyu.Although the rice soup did not make Daiyu stronger, it did allow Daiyu to live in peace for a few years. Until Daiyu went to Jia's Mansion, although she was thin and small, there was nothing wrong with her.

Lin Yi looked at Daiyu with loving eyes, and said softly: "As long as the lady is safe and sound, we are willing to do anything. If the lady is not happy after going to Jia's mansion, don't be next to me, let Lan Xinzhuying Send us a letter. We will also try to find a way to visit Miss often."

Huiyun put her arms around Daiyu and said: "Miss, I came from Jia's mansion. I know the affairs in that mansion best. When the master was there, they were more polite to the lady. Now... Miss, don't let them too much. You brought all your food and clothing with you, you don’t need the Jia family’s scraps of paper, you don’t need to be careful with them, and you definitely can’t let them bully you…” Thinking of sending the spirit away, Daiyu had to go back When she arrived at Jia's mansion, Huiyun was 1 worried and wished she could follow Daiyu to Jia's mansion so as to protect her.

Prince Shui Rong of Beijing accompanied Daiyu to send Lin Hai's coffin back to Gusu. On the way, he heard that Daiyu would go to Rongguo Mansion in the capital after sending the coffin. Shui Rong frowned. Not a good place to go. A few days ago, a granddaughter-in-law died in the Ningguo Mansion, and there was a commotion back to Yingtian, so why bother Miss Lin to go to that mess."

Huiyun heard Shui Rong say this, and couldn't help asking: "But the lady of Qin Shouye's family, grandma Xiao Rong?" Shui Rong nodded and said, "It's her."

Huiyun's complexion changed slightly, and she murmured softly: "How could she die at such a young age? Could it be?"

Shui Rong was careful and kept asking questions, but Huiyun changed the topic. Huiyun only said that Daiyu would go to the capital in the future, and she might bother the Beijing Palace. There was a question mark in his heart, and he thought of Ningguo Mansion's grand burial for Grandma Xiao Rong that day, and the specifications were not inferior to the princess's, so he had some vague guesses.

Jia Lian had to go into the tent of Lin's family. Seeing that there were more than 190 million taels of silver in the account, he sank down and took the account book to find out if it was Lin Yi. Two pieces of silver were given to the court, and Daiyu was exchanged for the title of Jiangxian county magistrate." When Jia Lian heard this, he immediately vented his anger. He walked away in a sly manner.

It turned out that Jia Lian received a letter from the second wife of the family the day before yesterday, saying that Yuan Chun, the eldest girl in the palace, had been promoted to the concubine Xiande, and the family wanted to build a garden to serve the mother's visit.Jia Lian thought to himself: "To build a garden is only 60 million taels. Now the Lin family has nearly 200 million taels. Even half of it is enough. It's just that the Lin family has Lin Yi and Lin Cheng now, not to mention the king of Beijing. The prince is still with you all the time, the money in the frying pan looks good and is not easy to get your hands on." Not to mention Jia Lian's intentions, but the Lin family escorted Lin Hailing's coffin back to Gusu for burial after a long journey. up.When Jia Lian saw the old Lin family house in Gusu, he couldn't help being moved. If he could sell the old Lin family house, it would be a lot of money.The mansion has been running into a serious deficit in the past few years, and it is necessary to find a way to make several million dollars.
