Indulgence in the Red Chamber

Chapter 13 On Daiyu's Suspicion in the Academy

Lin Ruhai was talking in his wife's room, and because of Nalashi Jinyu's arrival, his servants had already rushed in with news.Mrs. Jia forced herself to stand up, asked the girl to change her clothes, and did a little grooming.After all, he is the future fourth elder brother Fujin, and with his status here, he can't be too negligent.When Daiyu accompanied Jinyu in, Mrs. Jia was sitting on the bed, because Lin Nala was a girl who had not left the cabinet, and Lin Ruhai was inconvenient to meet, so she had already hid in the wing room.

Daiyu was startled when she saw her mother get up suddenly.He hurried forward and asked, "Mother, why are you up?"

"Silly boy, Jin Gege is here, you should come back earlier. Why do you go out for a whole day? Have you ever treated Gege slowly?" Madam Jia said, then nodded to Jinyu and said: "The little girl is usually spoiled and spoiled, she is rude Yi, please ask Gege not to blame. Gege, please sit down, Yuer, tell the girl to watch tea."

Jinyu knew that Lin Ruhai was an upright official, the Lin family was a family of dukes and lords, and Mrs. Jia was ordered by the fifth rank.Even if she is the minister's daughter, she was accused of giving it to the fourth elder brother, but after all, she is not married, nor has she been granted a title, she is just a princess.So he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said with a smile: "It's Jinyu who took the liberty to bother the family, and I feel deeply disturbed. He took his younger sister to play outside and missed the time to go home. Madam, please don't blame younger sister."

"You little sisters are very kind." Mrs. Jia saw that Jinyu was cheerful and generous, and she had a completely different temperament from Daiyu.It's really rare for the two to get along well.I was happy, and the complexion on my face improved a lot.

For a while, both Jinyu and Daiyu were sitting beside Mrs. Jia, talking about today's events in detail.Daiyu then told Mrs. Jia everything about Shen Wan in detail.Mrs. Jia pondered for a long time after listening, and suddenly sighed: "This matter is somewhat inappropriate. You children, you have not considered it."

When Jinyu and Daiyu heard this, they both froze and asked how it was.

Mrs. Jia took the two of them by the hand and said, "Since the Zhiwei Academy is owned by Mr. Nalan, it naturally belongs to Mingxiang's residence. How can Mrs. Shen make her own decision and give it to Yu'er? It should not be the case, according to my daughter's plan. If this matter of the property is brought up in the future, it will not be a trivial matter. Although Ming Xiang is not a greedy person, there are many ancient books in Zhiwei Academy, and the house and real estate are included. A few million taels of silver are indispensable. Wouldn't it be suspicious to give it to an outsider so easily?"

Daiyu hurriedly said: "What the mother said is that the daughter was negligent. She almost got caught in a disaster. How about asking someone to send this burden to her?"

Jinyu also said: "Auntie, don't blame my sister. My sister has a child. There are unexpected things. It's all my fault, but it caused all these troubles. If I knew this, I wouldn't allow her to see her daughter. Mingxiang That person, on the surface, is gentle and modest, but in fact he is extremely cunning. Over the years, he and Suo Xiang secretly fought and did a lot of bad things. However, Shen Wan is a poor person. Her husband is dead, and her daughter cannot stay by her side, and she is alone. I have been here for ten years, and I still don't know whether she is dead or alive. If she really dies, who can we give this back to?"

When Mrs. Jia heard the words, her heart was moved with compassion.Then he asked Daiyu, "Why hasn't Mr. Ning come back? Tell someone to go and have a look. Your father was still there just now, and now he's busy again. I'll have dinner later, and I'll discuss it with him. I'll discuss this matter with you." Be careful."

Daiyu hurriedly agreed, then turned around and ordered someone to find Lin Ning, and asked someone to add more food to entertain Jinyu for dinner.

The mothers-in-law and maids in Mrs. Jia's room were all busy with each other, passing food and news to each other.Someone else went to Daiyu's boudoir to clean up Jinyu's bed.

As soon as the dinner was served, someone came in and answered, saying that Mr. Ning had returned and was talking to the master in the study.

Mrs. Jia quickly said: "These words are indispensable. Let's eat first. The matter has been like this, so we have to discuss it in the long term. I just don't know how about Mrs. Shen?"

The family members who answered hurriedly said: "Mr. Ning asked the servant to tell the lady that Mrs. Shen is not dead, but has become a monk."

"Oh, she is an idiot." Mrs. Jia shook her head helplessly after hearing this.

After the meal, Daiyu and Jinyu accompanied Mrs. Jia to talk a few words, seeing that she looked tired and lack of energy, they persuaded her to go to bed early.Jinyu took a step ahead, and Xueyan led the way back to the room to take a bath, while Daiyu watched her mother fall asleep before quietly going down.

The night wind caressed gently, gently flapping the corners of the long skirt, the girl walking slowly in the night was as light as an elf among flowers.

"Hey, girl." Lin Ning leaned on the rockery, looked at Daiyu who was walking past, and couldn't help shouting.

"Oh, why are you here? I was shocked!" Daiyu was startled by Lin Ning who suddenly jumped out of one side of the rockery.He quickly took two steps back and patted his chest.

"I'm not a ghost, why are you so scared?" Lin Ning smiled, looking at her beautiful face under the bright moonlight.

"Don't you know that people scare people to death? You hide here quietly, like a thief, and if you suddenly shout, won't you scare me?" Daiyu blamed.

"I have something to tell you." Lin Ning said, raising his hand to hold Daiyu.

"Mr. Ning, it's very late and it's cold. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow?" Nanny Wang followed Daiyu to persuade Lin Ning.

"Nurse Wang, I have something very important to say, so come and listen to me." Lin Ning looked at Nanny Wang and said seriously.

"This... Since it is very important, the slave will still stay here. In case someone disturbs her in the past, you can have a good faith." After all, Wang Momo is a servant, and she dare not get more involved in the master's affairs.

"If you have anything to say, just say it? Why do you have to come here?" Daiyu asked strangely, looking at the tiny moonlight in the pool in front of her.

"Girl, we can't stay in Zhiwei Academy."

"Well, it is the property of Mingxiang's mansion, and my mother also said it."

"No. That's not the property of the Mingxiang Mansion. Shen Wan told me that it was an academy bought by Mr. Nalan under someone else's name. It was originally to serve the court. After Mr. Nalan passed away, Zhiwei Academy was lost. It becomes a real academy when it works.”

"Is it the property of the imperial court?"

"It's not from the imperial court, but the emperor knows it exists. Who knows what kind of accidents will happen if the emperor thinks of it again in the future when he is happy? In short, this is a place of right and wrong, so it's better to stay far away."

"Well, that makes sense. But the house deed and land deed are in my hands, and Mrs. Shen has become a monk again. What should we do?"

"I discussed it with Master Lin. I will sell the academy tomorrow. Donate the money to the monastery where Mrs. Shen became a monk."

"Okay. I'll send you the things later, and you can take care of them." Daiyu nodded, looked at Lin Ning in a daze, and asked after a while, "Who are you?"

Lin Ning was taken aback, and raised his hand to touch her cold face: "I am a homeless orphan you rescued. That's all."

"You won't lie to me?"

"Do not lie to you."

"I don't think you are an orphan. The noble person Madam Shen mentioned today should be you. It's just that she only knows that sister Jinyu is Gege from the capital, but she doesn't know you." Daiyu sighed.

"Little girl, you think too much."

"You people always like to hide things from me."
