Xiaoxiang Water Cloud in the Red Chamber

Xueyan was startled, this time King Jing came secretly, he was worried about Daiyu and guarding against Jia's schemes.He wouldn't come out unless there was nothing wrong with him. After all, he had no close relationship with the Lin family, so being too enthusiastic would arouse people's suspicion, and it would not be good for Daiyu's reputation.Now that it's so late, Daiyu still wants to invite him here, what's the matter?Suspicious in his heart but dare not neglect, he instinctively felt that his young lady had something important to discuss.

Sitting at the table, Daiyu looked a little anxious and gloomy, stroking the purple jade lotus that Shui Rong gave her with her plain hands, as if she wanted to get some comfort from it.Time passed by bit by bit, suddenly the light flashed, and two black shadows floated into the room like light smoke, Daiyu's eyes lit up, she stood up with some joy, and said to Shui Rong in front of her, "Brother Rong is so fast!" .”

Shui Rong smiled slightly, with a warm arc: "Sister Dai'er summoned me, how dare I neglect it."

Daiyu personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Shui Rong, sat down opposite him and fell silent again.

Seeing her gloomy expression and her small face as pale as snow, Shui Rong said distressedly: "Dai'er, what is embarrassing?"

Daiyu fiddled with the purple jade lotus with magnolia-like fingers, and said quietly after a while: "I came back today to see that Daddy is very ill."

Shui Rong frowned, and said cautiously: "Dai'er is worried..." He choked on the words, looked at Daiyu's pretty face worriedly, and remained silent.

Daiyu's cold face darkened, and after pondering for a while, she suddenly seemed to have made up her mind. She stared at the dim candle light flickering in the night wind and said softly and quickly: "I feel very strange when Daddy comes back today. I think... ..."

The next day Lin Ruhai seemed to be in good spirits, Lin An saw that Lin Ruhai was finally able to get up and walk after lying down for a few days, and said that the Taoist was in good spirits on happy occasions, and was very happy for the master.

Daiyu accompanies Lin Ruhai for a walk in the garden, catkins chasing each other in the air, falling flowers rustling, birds singing and butterflies dancing, the wind warming the grass.

Daiyu helped Lin Ruhai to sit in the "Tingyun" pavilion next to the rockery, and Xueyan Chunxian hurriedly poured tea and stood behind Daiyu.

Daiyu sipped her tea lightly and said, "I heard from Uncle Lin that Daddy has been exhausted for the past two years, so why don't you just resign from this official position, maybe take some time off and take good care of your body."

Lin Ruhai sighed softly: "Silly girl, what an important job it is to inspect the salt censor, the emperor trusted me to take up this job, I can't excuse it. Serving the country and the people is also my duty, and then I will attack me and the emperor." It's not easy for me to open my mouth about my personal relationship."

Daiyu Suyan sighed with sadness and sadness: "Being an official is not free. Now Yu'er really misses the days when she was in Suzhou. Although it is deserted, she is very at ease. Every day she cooks tea, tastes paintings, plays the qin and flute. Now."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Don't talk about these frustrating things, Yu'er, let's talk about your life in the capital."

Daiyu said indifferently: "There is nothing to say, but the sisters I met when I went to my grandmother's house were very good. I also met the family we met at home. The elder brother is like that. It's rare that his younger sister is very good." Okay, but it's a pity that you are too scheming."

Lin Ruhai's eyes moved, but he didn't answer.Daiyu suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Ah, yes, my grandmother got two or two red robes that day and gave them to me. Yu'er knew that Daddy loved this tea so much, so she brought it back without touching it. Why don't you cook it now? Try it."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "You girl, it's just a little tea. It's hard for you to remember that you brought it all the way back."

Daiyu smiled like a flower: "Yu'er, the things that Daddy likes, will naturally be kept by Daddy. Xueyan, you go and bring back the tea leaves for Daddy to taste." Xueyan agreed and went down.Daiyu said again: "Daddy doesn't know, but now that Sister Xueyan's tea making skills are better, Daddy will definitely be surprised."

Lin Ruhai chuckled: "It's rare to see someone you praise, I have to taste it carefully."

Daiyu pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes looked forward, watching the snow-white tulip outside the pavilion fluttering with the breeze, like a butterfly dancing in the snow, she said softly for a long while: "I will definitely not disappoint Dad."

Soon Xueyan came in with Yiying Gap, and began preparations on the small table next to her.Lin Ruhai watched carefully and couldn't help but praised: "It's not like this girl is so exquisite in tea ceremony, Yu'er is more and more able to regulate people."

"Daddy made fun of me again." Daiyu smiled angrily, blushing slightly, like a pink rose outside.

As soon as he spoke, Xueyan had already made the tea, and came over with two blue and white fine porcelain teacups on a gold-painted lacquer tray.

Daiyu personally handed one to Lin Ruhai and said with a smile, "Daddy, try it."

Lin Ruhai took it and said with a smile: "Yu'er has been praising it for a long time, Daddy really has to taste it." He took it to his lips and sipped lightly.It took a long time before he smiled and said: "It's really extraordinary, with a refreshing fragrance, a lingering sweetness on the tongue, a thick taste and a long rhyme. It is worthy of being a divine product in tea."

Daiyu tilted her head and said, "I knew Daddy would like it."

Lin Ruhai put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Yu'er met such a good doctor in the capital. Although she looks good, she's getting thinner and weaker. How can Daddy feel relieved?"

"If Uncle Lin really wants to ask Dai'er, it's better to ask my nephew."

A clear voice came from the garden gate.Lin Ruhai looked up, and saw a handsome young man walking in slowly, with a cold and noble air, but it was not Shui Rong.Lin Ruhai shook slightly, with a look of surprise on his face, he got up and said, "I don't know if the king of Beijing is coming, I'm not far away to welcome you, but when the prince arrived, he didn't even say hello, which made Lin Hai rude. "

Shui Rong smiled heartily: "When did Uncle Lin be so polite? It's because Xiao Wang was rude. Because I have other things to do in Jiangnan, I thought Uncle Lin and Sister Dai'er were here, so I just stopped by to see. Butler Lin Bo said You are here, so I came here uninvited, don't be surprised by Uncle Lin."

Lin Ruhai smiled: "Where is it, my lord, please sit down."

Shui Rong frowned: "Uncle Lin only calls me the prince, does he really have a relationship with me, or does he blame me for not taking good care of Dai'er in the capital?"

Lin Ruhai was slightly taken aback, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be offended, my lord. You are now the King of Beijing, so I naturally have to be polite. Then I will ask you to call you Rong'er. I don't know why you came to Jiangnan ?”

Shui Rong sighed: "What else can there be? Uncle Lin also knows that King Zhongshun has done a lot in the south of the Yangtze River in the past two years. Now the Holy One heard that the relief money for the snow disaster in the south of the Yangtze River in winter was quietly embezzled, leaving only I made an impression on the common people, so I was furious. I also heard that the officials who were impeached seemed to have a little connection with King Zhongshun. I was afraid that sending ordinary people would not work, so I ordered me to investigate. Alas, it’s just that it’s been more than three years It's been a month, and all traces should be gone, so how can I check, my nephew is really helpless."

Lin Ruhai was silent, pondered for a while and sighed: "This is tricky. The officials in Jiangnan are also intertwined, and one pull will affect the whole body."

Shui Rong said: "That's why my nephew came to beg Uncle Lin. Uncle Lin must have heard about it, and has already investigated it, so I should help my nephew."

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly: "Nephew also knows that I am in charge of salt and iron affairs, how can I go beyond my authority to investigate these matters."

Shui Rong smiled wryly for a long time before saying: "Then why don't you lend those of your men to your nephew for use, it's better than nephew alone and weak."

Lin Ruhai's expression changed, a gleam of light flashed across his eyes very quickly, and he said with a smile: "I'm afraid the ability of my subordinates is not as good as the personal guards of the King of Beijing, and I'm afraid it will only add to the chaos if they go."

Daiyu was listening to the teacup that Xueyan had just handed over, and frowned when she heard Lin Ruhai's words, but she didn't speak, she quietly sipped the tea.

"Really?" Shui Rong looked at Lin Ruhai with a smile that was not a smile, with a strange look on his face, Lin Ruhai's heart skipped a beat, somehow he had a bad premonition: "Nephew, you..."

Shui Rong stood up and protected Daiyu behind her, with an indifferent expression, her warm jade-like face turned as cold as ice, her eyes burst out with a strong murderous look, and she shot at Lin Ruhai like lightning: "I don't think you are I'm afraid I'll cause trouble, but I can't find any hand to come down."
