[Red House] Li Changan

The waterway is very long, from Yangzhou all the way to the south, when it arrives at Suzhou, it is not far from the Lantern Festival, only three days away.

Fortunately, the waterway was peaceful this time. Although the water situation in the canal changed, it was still calm, and even the azalea didn't feel any discomfort until I got off the boat.

Everyone changed to a carriage and moved all their luggage into the carriage. Daiyu accompanied Lin Ruxue, and opened the curtain of the carriage to look out curiously.

Suzhou city is really lively, even the pier in the first month is crowded with people.

"I'll see your uncle and aunt later, just follow the etiquette, don't worry about it." Lin Ruxue felt relieved when she saw Daiyu's brows stretched and she seemed in a good mood.

When she came here, she was worried that Daiyu would be worried because of these things, but now it seems that she was worrying too much.

Daiyu lowered the curtain lightly, nodded her head and said, "Don't worry, aunt, uncle and aunt won't argue with me, besides, I'm visiting a sick person when I come back from this trip, so I don't have any other ideas."

Daiyu doesn't know much about the situation of the Lin family.

In the past, she thought about why she lived in Jia's house instead of Lin's house.

It is reasonable to say that when my mother passed away, my grandmother missed her very much and wanted her to accompany her because she thought she was born similar to her mother.

It stands to reason that it should be taken care of by the Lin family.

Speaking of the Lin family is complicated, Mrs. Lin is the continuation, and Lin Rushan is indeed Lin Ruhai's elder brother, but he is not a sibling of the same mother, so how can Lin Ruhai and Lin Rushan be as close as they are.

Thinking of this, Daiyu shook her head.

"Auntie, is grandma's illness accumulated over the years or is it a sudden illness? The people who came here couldn't explain clearly, but they only said that grandma sent her here."

Lin Ruxue laughed, leaned aside, thought for a while before answering Daiyu's doubts.

"No matter what the illness is, the old lady opened her mouth, is there any reason not to go? I thought it would be easy to have the child Changan accompany you back, but now you have to be more careful."

"Auntie means—"

"Your cousin and sister are not ordinary people." Lin Ruxue always speaks to the point, after all, if the words are too clear, it will be boring.

Daiyu was startled when she heard this, thinking about the meaning of this sentence.

I thought about it for a while and then gave up. Forget it, it's better not to think about it. I have already arrived in Suzhou and I can't go back. Besides, I just heard his name and haven't seen him yet, so there is no reason to shrink back.

Just a sick visit.

The carriage rolled and rolled across Suzhou Street, and walked all the way to the front of the Lin Mansion.

Sensing the carriage stopped, Daiyu looked at Lin Ruxue, who was resting with her eyes closed, and was about to speak, but Lin Ruxue opened her eyes first.

"arrive?"

"arrive."

Lin Ruxue nodded, sat up, lifted the car curtain and looked out: "Sister-in-law should be at home, brother may not be there, but your cousin and cousin should be there."

"Is the cousin not married yet?"

"I hired a son-in-law."

what?

But after thinking about it, I wasn't surprised at all. After all, the Lin family is also the Duke's family, so it's not surprising that there is a son-in-law visiting.

Zijuan and Xueyan called outside the carriage, Daiyu nodded, and lifted the curtain first, letting the two help them get out of the carriage.

The maid beside Lin Ruxue was in a carriage with them, Daiyu got out of the carriage, and Lin Ruxue followed.

"This, isn't this my aunt? My aunt is back!"

The housekeeper at the door stepped forward to greet her, looked at Lin Ruxue, and shouted excitedly: "The old lady has been waiting for a long time, but I hope that my aunt will come back."

"How is mother these days?"

"The old lady has gotten better these few days, but she is still bedridden and does not dare to see the wind easily." Dong Hui replied, looked at Lin Daiyu, and asked tentatively: "Is this the second girl from the second master's family?"

"En." Lin Ruxue nodded, and signaled Cuihuan, the maid beside her, to watch over and unload the luggage: "Let's go and see the old lady first, if sister-in-law sends someone, then go there."

Daiyu sized up the Lin family, looked left and right, asked Zijuan and Cuihuan to pack their luggage together, and led Xueyan to follow Lin Ruxue to Old Madam Lin's yard.

On the way, listening to Lin Ruxue asking about Donglai's recent affairs in the mansion, almost asking about everything during this period of time, Daiyu felt something unusual.

No matter how it sounds, it seems that he is deliberately formulating words for her.

She didn't know much about the Lin family's affairs, so she got a general idea of ​​the recent Lin family's affairs. At least, Mrs. Lin had been ill for a month.

I was ill a month ago, and I suddenly sent someone to Yangzhou half a month ago. During this period, I am afraid that something happened.

Another point is that her uncle is very powerful. Her parents have been sick for a long time, and they are not around to serve, and even go there every three or five days. It is a bit "unfilial".

"Second girl and aunt please, the old lady is resting in the main room, she is probably awake at the moment."

"Mother has been in a drowsy sleep all this time?"

"When I was sick at first, I couldn't sleep, and I felt uncomfortable at night. Later, the doctor prescribed a prescription, saying that the old lady had to take care of her illness carefully, and she would recover after sleeping." Doubt, continued: "Grandma, this is—"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask about my mother's recent situation."

Daiyu's eyes on the side were darkened, lowering her eyes to get rid of the worries in her heart.

Looking at it now, even if it wasn't for the Hongmen Banquet, the Lin family's trip won't bring any benefits.

"Mother Zhang, my aunt is back."

"The old lady was still thinking about when she would arrive, and here she is? Hurry up, please come in."

An old woman came out from the door curtain, stood at the door, looked at Lin Ruxue and Lin Daiyu in front of her, her eyes lit up: "Grandma and... the second girl must go inside quickly, it's cold outside, don't freeze."

"I haven't seen you for many years, but Nanny Zhang is still the same. I am relieved to have you by my mother's side."

"Where is my aunt, it is the old lady who pity me and let me serve by her side."

Daiyu glanced at the person in front of her, and heard something from the words of Lin Ruxue and Zhang Nanny. It seemed that this Zhang Nanny was the confidant of Mrs. Lin's side.

Walking into the room, Daiyu could not help frowning as the smell of medicine came over her face.

With such a strong smell of medicine, the disease may not be cured.

"Is Ruxue back?"

"My daughter pays her respects to her mother and asks her how she is." Lin Ruxue stepped forward and sat down beside the bed: "Why did you wait until today to tell me about your body?"

Mrs. Lin half leaned against the head of the bed, reached out her hand to hold Lin Ruxue, and smiled helplessly with downcast eyes.

Master Lin passed away in his early years. After his death, Mrs. Lin lived alone in the same courtyard. She seldom went out and walked around even less. Only the servants in the courtyard took care of her.

If he hadn't been seriously ill this time, he probably wouldn't have sent someone to Yangzhou.

"Daiyu pays homage to grandmother."

Daiyu looked at the person in front of her, and for some reason, her eyes were wet and her vision was a little blurred. She knelt down and said, "Greetings to grandma."

Mrs. Lin turned her head to look at Daiyu, tears fell down her eyes.

"God is sorry, I am lucky to have a good marriage, and I will live up to your life."
