dream red mansion

Lin Fu stepped forward to knock on the door, and after a while the door opened, and a young servant stuck his head out. "Who are you looking for?"

Lin Fu handed over the name card, took out another piece of silver and stuffed it into the boy's arms, and said with a smile: "My master and the family are old acquaintances, please let me know."

The young man touched the silver in his bosom, and immediately smiled: "You two wait a moment, let me go and report." After speaking, he closed the door again.

After about a cup of tea, the door opened again, and a servant came out to welcome him: "My lord, please come in."

Daiyu stepped forward quickly, followed by Lin Fu.

The servant welcomed the two of them to the lobby and sat down, and then someone came in and served them tea.Daiyu didn't have the heart to drink tea, so she grabbed one of the maids and asked, "Why haven't you seen your master yet?"

The maid shook her head and left.Lin Fu handed over the teacup and persuaded in a low voice: "Young master, be safe and don't be impatient!"

Daiyu glanced at him, took the teacup, calmed down and waited.

"Forgive me! Forgive me! You kept the two distinguished guests waiting for a long time." Only one person came in from the door, and no one followed behind.

Daiyu asked Lin Fu with her eyes, Lin Fu shook his head, this person is not Eunuch Li.Daiyu stood up and cupped her hands in return: "Where! Where! You are too serious. I don't know about Eunuch Li?"

"My lord, you don't need to be polite, please sit down!" The man made a gesture of invitation, and walked to the opposite side to sit down. "Young Li Quan is just a servant in the mansion. He usually takes care of this house for my master. The young master is a member of the Lin family, and Mr. Lin has a close friendship with my master. The young master should know that my master has a special status. , usually not in the mansion easily?"

"Not here?" Daiyu's expression changed.I should have thought of it earlier, Eunuch Li served the emperor all year round, so naturally he couldn't leave the palace easily.

"To be honest, my lord was taken away by the officials yesterday, and he didn't return all night. The people in the house were really worried, and they had no choice but to come and ask for help from Eunuch Li." Daiyu directly said that she had come here with a worried look on her face. the goal of.

"Master Lin's matter is trivial, but I have heard a few words from my master." When it comes to being well-informed, no one in the capital can compare to Eunuch Li.Li Quan can usually hear two or three sentences from his master.

Recently, the upstart in the capital, Lin Youyu—Master Lin, is often talked about by the master.The master said that this person is not only talented, but even more rare is that he is impeccable and slick in all aspects.He was imprisoned suddenly, and his master was also quite sorry.

Listening to Li Quan's tone, it seemed to be a sigh.With the mentality of giving it a try, Daiyu stood up, saluted, and said: "For the sake of my lord, I hope Mr. Li will make it easier for me to think of a way for me!"

"My lord, please don't spoil the villain!" Li Quan helped Daiyu, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay. I will send someone into the palace to inform my master. I can't guarantee the result."

Daiyu said happily: "Thank you, Director Li!"

"Hiss~" Lin Youyu woke up feeling sore all over.Opening his eyes with difficulty, there are dark walls, iron windows, iron bars, etc. all around!Here is the cell!Lin Youyu suddenly remembered what happened yesterday.

Lin Youyu sat up slowly and stretched a lot!After posting for a while, I returned to my senses.Lin Youyu stood up, twisted her neck, and kicked her feet.I kept singing last night, and I can't remember when I fell asleep.While doing exercise, Lin Youyu glanced casually, and there was an extra bowl at the door of the prison.breakfast?Lin Youyu walked over and saw that there was a steamed bun in the bowl.Lin Youyu smiled wryly, it really was breakfast.

Alas, people have to bow their heads under the eaves!Lin Youyu picked up the steamed bun, squeezed it, "Wow! It's so hard!" Facing this hard and stone-like steamed bun, Lin Youyu missed the delicious and soft steamed buns made by her own kitchen very much.If it is served with a bowl of warm soy milk, it is really simple and nutritious.

Looking down at the steamed buns in his hand, Lin Youyu sighed: "It's really tasteless!" There is no way, if you want to live, you always have to eat.Lin Youyu picked up the steamed bun and took a bite, chewing hard twice, "Ah! It really doesn't taste good!" Lin Youyu complained and forced herself to swallow it.

I can't stay here for long, this was Lin Youyu's first thought after eating the steamed buns.Why hasn't anyone come to interrogate me after so long?Lin Youyu couldn't figure it out.I can't sit still, I have to be proactive, I have to figure it out.

"Is there anyone? Come, come! Come, come~" Lin Youyu yelled as he put his face on the iron railing.That's right, this is what Lin Youyu came up with.

After a while, a yamen servant ran over and scolded: "What are you shouting for? What are you shouting for? Do you want to be beaten?"

"No, no." Lin Youyu said with a smile. "I just want to ask when will I be passed to court?"

"Go to hall? What hall to go to?" The yamen servant knocked on the iron railing with the handle of his knife, "I didn't receive the order! I warn you, don't try to play tricks, just take it!"

Lin Youyu took a step back and quickly waved his hands, claiming he didn't dare.The yamen servant stared at him for a while, then slowly left.

"There is no order to intervene?" Now Lin Youyu was even more puzzled... It seemed that he had to wait for news from outside.

The servant Li Quan sent to enter the palace returned to the mansion almost at noon.Eunuch Li asked him to bring a message, and I can meet you at the mansion at Xu o'clock tonight.Lin Daiyu had no choice but to leave things behind and come back at night.

After finally arriving at Xushi, Lin Fu, Lin Wu, and Daiyu were brought to Ji's mansion as usual.

In the hall, there was a person sitting on the main seat drinking tea.Daiyu looked at the movements of his hands and thought that this person must be Eunuch Li.

"Eunuch Li!" Daiyu stepped forward to salute.

Eunuch Li put down the teacup, looked up and down a few times, and praised: "Our family has met many people, but it is rare to see such a temperament and appearance as Miss!"

Daiyu smiled lightly, "Grandfather is absurd!" Daiyu was not at all surprised that Eunuch Li saw through her identity as a woman at a glance.He doesn't have much ability to gain a foothold in the palace.

"Hey, our family is telling the truth." Eunuch Li laughed.Daiyu's shock remained unchanged, and her advances and retreats were measured. Eunuch Li couldn't help but value it a little bit, and appreciated it. "Sir, please sit down!"

Daiyu sat down as she said.

"Elder-in-law, I know that it is not easy for you to go out of the palace. I will not go around in circles. I just want to inquire about Master Lin's whereabouts this time." Daiyu cut to the chase and went straight to the point.

"Master Lin is currently being held in the Prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice." Eunuch Li did not hide anything, and directly stated what he knew.

"Ministry of Punishment!" Daiyu's heart sank, it is definitely not that simple to involve the Ministry of Punishment!

Daiyu's complexion changed, and she pretended to be unfair and said: "Eunuch, Mr. Lin has always been conscientious in his work and devoted himself to sharing the emperor's worries, but he has ended up like this, the emperor is not afraid of making people feel chilling!"

Eunuch Li sneered, "If the emperor hadn't thought of Mr. Lin's usual goodness, it would be so simple to just take him into custody now!"

Daiyu showed doubts, and said: "I still hope that my father-in-law will guide me! I will thank you in the future!"

Eunuch Li shook his hand, "If you don't thank me very much, I won't say it. In view of the relationship between Mr. Lin and our family, our family will tell you."

Eunuch Li picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before saying: "A few days ago, a censor in the Procuratorate impeached Mr. Lin."

"Impeachment? Why?" Daiyu asked.

"The contents of the memorial generally say that Mr. Lin has falsified his life experience and impersonated the son of Lin Ruhai, the inspector of salt inspection, and committed a serious crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"The crime of bullying the emperor?" Daiyu was shocked.

Eunuch Li nodded, with a serious face: "The crime of deceiving the emperor is no small matter! The censor has evidence in hand, and the emperor has no choice but to order Mr. Lin to be arrested. But—" Eunuch Li changed his tone, "At present, the emperor only Ordering Lord Lin to be imprisoned, no one will be allowed to judge the case, so it seems that the emperor has the heart to protect Lord Lin."

During the conversation, Daiyu's thoughts changed a few times.First, only a few people know Lin Youyu's real life experience, so how can anyone in the court know.According to the current inference, someone should deliberately frame Lin Youyu.Furthermore, according to what Eunuch Li said, the emperor did not want to kill them all.

Combining these two points, Daiyu already has a countermeasure in mind. "Eunuch Li, Mr. Lin's identity is hard to tell. He also just learned the truth, and he didn't deliberately deceive the emperor. If you can find witnesses to prove this, you see?"

"If this is the case, according to our family's view, there may be room for redemption." Eunuch Li knocked on the back of the chair, his eyes flashed.Having been in the palace for many years, seeing too many shady methods in the court, Eunuch Li keenly sensed something unusual.

"Eunuch, I wonder if people in the house can visit Mr. Lin in his cell?" Now that he has got the news, he has to find a way to pass the news to Lin Youyu.Therefore, Daiyu asked this question.

"This..." Eunuch Li showed embarrassment, "The emperor once famously ordered that no one should be allowed to visit the prison, so I'm afraid it won't work."

"At least let us bring in some food and clothing." Daiyu waved her hand, and Lin Fu presented the prepared gift.Compared with the gifts brought in the morning, the value brought in the evening is more expensive.

Eunuch Li glanced at the gifts on the table, and said with a smile: "In the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, our family has an acquaintance. How about letting Li Quan take you there tomorrow?"

"Thank you, Eunuch Li!"

When Shui Rong rushed to the station, Shi Xiangyun had just finished his meal.

"Is the food delicious?" Shui Rong stepped into the door and asked.

"My lord." Shi Xiangyun stood up, saluted, welcomed Shui Rong into the door and sat down.

"We're going to be husband and wife soon, but why are we growing apart?" Shui Rong groaned with a smile.

Shi Xiangyun remained silent, brewed a cup of tea and handed it to Shui Rong.Shui Rong took it with a smile, took a sip of hot tea, and immediately warmed up a lot.

Shocked, Shui Rong took out something tightly wrapped in a silk scarf and put it on the table, "Open it and have a look." Shui Rong smiled.

Shi Xiangyun opened the silk handkerchief, and there were actually two bunches of candied haws inside.

"I remember hearing you say you like it once, and I bought two skewers when I saw it on the road. Do you like it?" Shui Rong looked at Shi Xiangyun gently.

Shi Xiangyun nodded, unexpectedly he remembered what he said casually.Looking at Shui Rong's handsome face, for the first time, Xiang Yun had a different feeling in his heart.
