dream red mansion

"Master Qian, the parent officer did a good job~" Lin Youyu went down the stairs step by step.

The sound of Lin Youyu's footsteps was getting closer and closer, and Grandpa Qian County was startled when he heard it. He knelt on the ground and was so frightened that he didn't dare to lift his head. "My lord, forgive me."

Lin Youyu stopped in front of Lord Qian, and jokingly said, "Oh, what is Mr. Qian's crime?"

Lord Qian only saw Lin Youyu's toes, and listened to Lin Youyu's question, sweating profusely. "My lord, my lord, this official offended my lord, I really deserve to die!"

Lin Youyu squinted at the crowd kneeling on the ground, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and bullying the weak. There is no difference between modern and ancient times in this regard, and it has always been like this!It's because I'm different... Lin Youyu froze for a moment, countless images suddenly flashed in her mind, and finally they were frozen in front of her eyes.

The inn suddenly became very quiet, and everyone stared at Lin Youyu.Suddenly there was no movement, and Daiyu felt strange. Looking down, she could only see Lin Youyu's back.The distance between the two was no more than upstairs and downstairs, and for a moment Daiyu suddenly felt that Lin Youyu's figure was somewhat illusory.My heart was beating very fast "chug-chug", and there was a trace of uneasiness and panic faintly.

Daiyu stared at Lin Youyu closely, and Lin Youyu suddenly turned to look at her.Looking at each other for only a short moment, Lin Youyu smiled.

"Lord Qian, get up. Let's go to the yamen to talk, so as not to disturb other people's business." Still in the usual relaxed tone, Daiyu couldn't help but suspect that everything just now was an illusion.

Grandpa Qianxian stood up tremblingly, and ordered someone to lead the way.Although Lin Youyu had a smile on his face, who knew what his plan was.After all, I made a mistake first, so Mr. Qian County dare not take it lightly.

Lin Youyu looked at Daiyu and made a gesture of invitation with a smile.Lin Youyu and Daiyu went to the Yamen together, leaving Zijuan waiting for Lin Wu at the inn.

When she arrived at the Yamen, Daiyu was arranged to rest in the inner hall.Lin Youyu sat on the chair of the yamen grand master, while Qian Zijin and his father stood in the hall.Lin Youyu flipped through the records, what kind of case was this judged for?Not wanting to read any more, Lin Youyu threw the brochure on the table.The people below immediately knelt down in fright.

After a while Xu Tian came in, holding a thick stack of papers in his hand, and put them on Lin Youyu's desk: "It's all here, take your time."

Lin Youyu weighed it: "So many!" Xu Tian glanced at Mr. Qian County, and said with a sneer, "A corrupt official like this can't explain the bad things he has done for days and nights."

Thinking about it, "Lord Qian, I won't go around in circles. The emperor ordered me to investigate the people's sentiments along the way." Lin Youyu pointed to the charges in the case, "I don't need to say more, you know what you do."

"Your official understands, my official understands." Mr. Qian County couldn't help wiping off his cold sweat, knowing in his heart that this official was the end of his job, and if he failed, he would have to stay in prison for two years.

"There is also your son, a fish and meat commoner, who is domineering. Just now I saw with my own eyes that he robbed the daughters of the people. You are a parent official, what should you expect according to the law?" Lin Youyu asked.

"This, this..." Grandpa Qian hesitated for a long time.

I don't know how to repent! "I think Mr. Qian has been an official for a long time, and I can't even remember the law. Master, why don't you remind him?" Lin Youyu turned his attention to the master again.

"Should...should..." The master hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the magistrate.

Lin Youyu was angry from the heart, and shouted: "Say!"

The master was taken aback, and hurriedly lowered his head and said: "According to the law of my dynasty, the sentence of robbing a civilian girl is [-] boards and one month in prison."

"Oh, it's clear now." Lin Youyu looked at the yamen servants standing on both sides: "Isn't it going to be done?"

"Yes." The yamen servant pressed Qian Zijin to the ground and lifted the board.In the next second, Qian Zijin's screams sounded like killing a pig.

"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!" Grandpa Qian County kept kowtowing.He only has such a son, and Qian Zijin will die if he does not die at the top of the [-]th board.

Lin Youyu didn't speak, just watched coldly.Qian Zijin fainted when he was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child.The yamen servant looked up at Lin Youyu.

"Delay it and lock it up, and the rest will be given two boards a day." Lin Youyu didn't really want Qian Zijin's life, but just wanted to teach him a lesson.

Lin Youyu coughed lightly: "Master Qian, it's time to talk about you."

"Your Majesty is guilty." Grandpa Qian County collapsed on the ground.

Lin Youyu pondered for a moment: "You are old, and you can't bear any punishment. So your house was confiscated, and your official position was dismissed. Your position will be temporarily replaced by the master. I will send someone to take over after I report to the court. How about it?"

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!" Mr. Qian County is already very grateful that he doesn't have to go to jail.

Lin Youyu looked at the master under the hall: "I hope you can do your job well during this time. Otherwise..."

Lin Youyu's meaning was self-evident, and the master repeatedly kowtowed and said, "Don't dare."

After dealing with the matter of the Qian family and his son, Lin Youyu and Daiyu came out from the yamen, and they returned to the inn.At this time, Lin Wu and Xiao Lian also came back after finishing their work.

Because Xiao Lian's matter delayed a lot of time, I can only rest here before making plans.Xiaolian also heard about the Qian family and was very grateful to Lin Youyu.At noon the next day, Xiaolian borrowed the inn's kitchen to cook a table of dishes to thank Lin Youyu.

"Today's lunch must be good. It smells so good from afar." Lin Youyu praised.

"They're all home-cooked dishes, Mr. Lin, please don't dislike them. Sit down quickly, and Miss, Brother Lin, and Sister Zijuan, please sit down quickly." Xiao Lian greeted.

Lin Youyu sat down: "Xiao Lian, don't be too busy. Sit down and eat with us?"

"That's good, Mr. Lin, you eat first."

Lin Youyu smiled, picked up a sliced ​​lotus root with her chopsticks and gave it to Daiyu: "Eat a sliced ​​lotus root, appetizing and clearing away heat."

Daiyu took a sip: "It tastes good."

Lin Youyu also took a sip, and it was really good. "This kind of taste makes people miss Qijia the most!" Lin Youyu thought of her mother.What he likes most is when he comes home from vacation, his mother cooks a table of delicious meals and waits for him to come back.

Seeing that both Lin Youyu and Daiyu moved their chopsticks, Lin Wu and Zijuan began to eat. "Miss Xiaolian, she is beautiful, and she cooks well!" Lin Wu was full of praise when he mentioned Xiaolian.

"I'm no worse than her." Zijuan couldn't help interrupting Lin Wu's non-stop praise for Xiaolian.

"Really? Make it for me sometime." Lin Wu looked at Zijuan as if he had discovered a new world.Zijuan snorted and ignored him.

"The smell of home?" Daiyu wondered.

"Yes!" Lin Youyu couldn't help but taste a few more mouthfuls.

Lin Youyu answered very simply, without any extra description. "The smell of home?" Daiyu felt puzzled.

"This is the last dish. How do you feel after eating it?" Xiao Lian placed the dish in the middle of the table.

Lin Youyu stopped her chopsticks, looked at Xiaolian and said, "It's delicious! Well, I think you can consider opening a small restaurant in the future. The business should be good."

Hearing Lin Youyu's praise of herself, Xiao Lian was a little shy: "Where can I open a shop with my little craftsmanship? As long as the young master thinks it delicious."

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious." Lin Youyu put down his chopsticks and discussed with Xiaolian: "The money I leave you can only help you for a while. If you don't have a source of income, what will you rely on for food in the future? Open a small restaurant and earn enough money Life is enough. However, it is better to have some unique characteristics. In this way, you don’t have to worry about no customers coming to your door.”

"What?" Xiaolian couldn't react at once. "My lord, why don't you let Xiaolian follow you?"

"Huh?" Now it was Lin Youyu's turn to be dumbfounded.

Looking at Lin Youyu's expression, Xiao Lian thought that Lin Youyu disliked her, so she knelt down and said, "My lord, I can do laundry, cook, and everything."

Lin Youyu quickly helped her up.I really didn't expect that she wanted to follow me.Lin Youyu looked at Daiyu beside her, expressionless, not sure whether she was happy or angry.Lin Youyu looked at Xiaolian again, almost crying with anxiety.Lin Youyu coughed twice, and explained: "Xiao Lian, everyone has their own value. You can't belittle yourself, just give another person the status quo. In this world, everyone is unique. , no one can replace anyone. Do you understand?"

"My lord, you don't have to worry. Xiao Lian won't cause you any trouble." Xiao Lian cried.

"Oh, okay!" Lin Youyu rubbed his nose, "Those words just now are all for nothing."

"I'm done eating, you guys eat slowly." Daiyu suddenly got up and went upstairs.

"Hey, sister? Sister, don't you want to eat more?" Lin Youyu shouted.But Daiyu didn't reply.

"My lord, did Xiao Lian offend Miss?"

Lin Youyu sat down sullenly: "It's none of your business." Lin Wu and Zijuan looked at each other in blank dismay, why did they suddenly become like this when they were talking so well?

Daiyu returned to her room, sat at the table in a daze.I don't know what's going on, and I suddenly feel very irritable and don't want to stay downstairs.

"Girl? I saw that you didn't eat much just now, so I brought you a bowl of soup." Zijuan put the soup on the table.

Daiyu drank the soup and asked casually, "Where's Youyu?"

Zijuan replied: "The young master and Xiaolian have gone out."

"The two of them went out?"

Zijuan nodded.Daiyu remembered that in the past whenever she was angry, Lin Youyu would always chase after her and stay by her side until she was amused.Now, he actually went to accompany a stranger regardless of himself.Daiyu felt quite uncomfortable. "You take the soup away, I have no appetite." Daiyu walked to the window and looked out the window.

Zi Zaijuan glanced at Daiyu, seeing that she didn't respond, he had to take the soup away.

Daiyu looked around, as if looking for something.Daiyu suddenly stopped looking, and looked downstairs fixedly.

Isn't it Lin Youyu and Xiaolian standing downstairs?What did Lin Youyu say to make Xiaolian smile so happily?Lin Youyu was so happy too... Daiyu closed the window with a "snap", not wanting to look any more.After standing for a while, Daiyu took out a book from the salute and read it.Unexpectedly, she couldn't see it at all, the scene just now kept circling in her mind.The fire in my heart is burning more and more.No, Daiyu felt very sad again, feeling even more lonely.Daiyu lay powerlessly on the table...

The author has something to say: finally Daiyu realizes that Lin Youyu holds an important position in her heart ~ hehe!
