Continuing the Fate of the Red Mansion and Jade Water

Her sad eyes avoided her questioning. He understood what Daiyu said, but he also had his own selfish intentions. Now that Daiyu had entered the palace and lived under his wings, he could ensure safety and Yu, although the person is right in front of her eyes, her heart is still wandering outside the palace. Shui Hong thought about it and asked, "Do you want to fulfill your father's entrustment?"

Sure enough, Daiyu was finally willing to look him in the eye, knowing that this matter was very important to her, "You mean..."

"Revitalize the Lin family, continue the incense for the Lin family, and let the Lin family have successors. I love you. Please remember this site"

Daiyu blushed, she really thought about this a lot, especially after getting to know Linger, this idea became more and more intense, Linger can run back and forth between the two countries alone, sometimes it is inevitable to eat and sleep in the open, and even go out in the wild She cooks food, and also becomes a chivalrous woman who draws her sword to help when the road is injustice, Daiyu has only read about these things, if it is for herself, she really dare not even think about it.

If Linger is evaluated purely based on the judgment of a ladylike lady, she is undoubtedly unqualified. Linger can't embroider, has never read the female precepts, can't sit or stand, and can't even play Go well. Yu can't even be called an opponent in front of Yu.

But such a girl has become the object of Daiyu's envy. She is very independent, very confident, and dares to make decisions for her own affairs. She said that if Jialan dared to disappoint her, she would castrate him and make him a eunuch.Not to mention telling him such things to others, even thinking about it would make her blush for a long time, but Linger said it, and it was so natural, as if it should have been like this.

When I was in Jia's mansion, the girl always followed me no matter where I went. Now that I entered the palace, Shuihong's security work is a hundred times more meticulous than that of Jia's mansion. Not only is there an ice lake to accompany her, but there are also big inner circles around. Expert protection, although Daiyu herself didn't know where they were hiding, but Binghu repeatedly assured that there were at least twelve guards in fixed positions nearby, and there were mobile sentries whose number was unknown.

Xueyan wondered if the emperor sent someone to watch them, Daiyu smiled and said: "If we want to escape, the ice lake is enough. Sister Ling said that all the concubines in the palace are masters of trickery. , I think the emperor came here to guard against them."

Xueyan retreated behind her and stuck out her tongue secretly. She said that on purpose. Aren't the Empress Dowager and Miss Ling also indirectly spreading positive information about the emperor to Daiyu!The distance between the two changed from seven feet to five feet.

She is the person next to Concubine Dai, and everyone in the palace has thieves. They know who is more favored, so there are many palace maids and eunuchs who report to her, and they can get news with just a word. She is a good person. If the girl can entrust her to such a person in this life, the master will rest in peace in heaven.

Daiyu looked at Shuihong and said, "Of course I want to, but I don't have anything now. The money my father left me is in my grandmother's hands. I don't know where it has been spent all these years."

"That's your money, why don't you ask where the money is?"

"I..." Daiyu lowered her head, is it obviously embarrassing for him to ask questions like this?It's not like he didn't know that the money was brought into Jia's house as a dowry. "How do you ask me? That year when Concubine Xiande visited relatives and wanted to build a garden in the mansion, she embezzled the money. My grandmother asked me what I meant, and said that I would make up for it when all the accounts were collected. , can I say no?"

"I didn't make it up later"

Daiyu nodded, and said: "I asked once or twice, and my grandmother said that the family was in a difficult situation, so please don't embarrass my wife and Sister Feng. After a hundred years, she will leave everything to me, and it will always be worth the money. , I'm going to... how can I force them to repay the debt?"

She is really a kind little girl, she is very considerate of others, she cannot be blamed for being too soft-hearted, she was not yet 12 years old at that time, and there were only girls and mothers by her side, what could she do even if she was vigilant, although she would It hurt her again, but Shui Hong still said: "It's your dowry, so naturally wherever you marry, the dowry will follow you. You haven't married to Jia's mansion now, have you?"

Daiyu looked at him with strange eyes, Shuihong said with a smile: "Little girl, don't you think I want to covet your dowry?"

"You are the emperor, and you have the wealth of the country. To you, this money is just a drop in the bucket. I just wonder why you asked me this sentence. You want to remind me over and over again that it has nothing to do with Jia's mansion anymore." ?"

"I just want to help you" Of course, making her give up on Jia Baoyu is the most important thing. "Want to take back everything that belongs to you?"

"Of course I want to," Daiyu replied with certainty, "I still want to point to this to fulfill my father's last wish."

Shuihong looked at Daiyu's reaction with satisfaction. After breaking free from the shackles of her feelings, the little girl must want to break out of her own sky. As her husband, he should support everything she does and never let her I feel sorry for marrying him.

Daiyu took two steps forward and said: "Actually, I have thought a lot these days. Xueyan told me everything. I am very grateful to you, although the property left by my father is in the form of dowry. Jia’s mansion, I’m going to marry out of the mansion, and the dowry has to go with me, but there’s no written document at that time, I want to go back and ask for it, but if I go like this, will they give it to me? I don’t have any grasp."

"Master Lin didn't tell you anything? You don't know the exact amount of the dowry?"

Daiyu shook her head and said, "Except for telling me how to be humble and courteous when I go to my grandparents' house, it's just a matter of marriage, so I don't have anything else to say."

Shuihong frowned. The officials in charge of salt in the past were all recognized as fat men. His father trusted him so much, and he had been re-elected for many years, which shows that he is outstanding. Only some regular money is charged, and there are not a few of them over the years.

After several generations, in Lin Ruhai's generation, it is a single pass, and all the family property is gathered in his hands, so why only leave less than 300 million taels to Daiyu.According to Lu Cun's calculations, Lin Ruhai should still have unaccounted for property.

Lin Ruhai has been a salt official for so many years, so he should have been well versed in the officialdom. He let the Jia family take away the money easily without a document. I really can't think of his intention. , or the written evidence originally existed, but Daiyu didn't know it.

Shui Hong nodded secretly. This guess is more likely. Lin Ruhai had created a document, but when Jia Lian took Daiyu back to the south of the Yangtze River, Lin Ruhai was already dying, so it is also possible that the document was hidden by Jia Lian.

It seems that Jia Lian and his wife are the key to getting back the property belonging to Daiyu.

Seeing that Daiyu's brows were tightly furrowed, she should also be recalling the events of that year, Shui Hong was glad to lead the topic elsewhere, so that she no longer fell into deep sorrow, and no longer resented herself.

"Did you think of anything?"

Daiyu nodded and said: "There is indeed an incident, and it seems that it has nothing to do with property. My father gave me a pawn ticket at that time and asked me to keep it well. I will go there when I take the child back to the south of the Yangtze River to pay homage. Take it out from the pawnshop."

"Pawning a ticket? What is it pawning?"

"It's a seal carved from a piece of jade, and it's not worth much, but it's been passed down from generation to generation in the Lin family, and my father wants to leave it to my children." Daiyu's voice became smaller and smaller, and she turned her back and unbuttoned her collar to take it. He took out a chain and said: "This is it, this is half, the other half was left in the pawn shop by my father, and I will take this and the pawn ticket to pick up the other half in the future, so that my clan will recognize the identity of the child. "

Shuihong put the jade in his hand, there was nothing special about it, it was just a seal carved from Qingguang jelly, with a groove on the side, engraved with the word 'Jiru', presumably the half of it was 'Xiangyi' to form a pair.

"Does Mr. Jia know?"

"I know, and he also told me to keep the pawn ticket carefully, so that when I go back to Jiangnan in the future, the tribe will make trouble and prevent the child from entering the Lin family's household registration."

"What about the pawn ticket?"

"As for me, I have always kept such important things close to me."

Shuihong glanced at Daiyu's slender body maliciously, where would she hide the pawn ticket, if she refused to tell, maybe she would not know until the day of the bridal chamber.

"I'm tired after standing for so long. Should I go back? Or should I walk again?" Shuihong asked her in a negotiating tone. He really hoped that he could stay like this forever. It's really rare. I told her in the garden today. After talking for so long, and listening to what Daiyu said, she already had some trust in him, so she told him such an important matter.

But in early winter, there are different changes in temperature every day. She has stood in the windy field for so long, and she just cried again, don't be sick.

Daiyu said: "You should speak to me as you would to Binghu and the others. Such words sound awkward."

But Shuihong really felt awkward, he was asking her, seeking her opinion, that's why he treated her so tenderly, did she want him to speak to her in a commanding tone?

"why?"

"It's just pretending to respect, which one is really according to my wishes."

Shuihong sighed, caring is really not pretending, but after so many years of being a monarch, he is used to giving orders, everything is based on his purpose, and what he does is not for her.

"What do you want, tell me, and never break your promise."

"Really?" Daiyu tilted her head and looked at him.

Shuihong suddenly wanted to change his words, Daiyu wouldn't really say any wishes to embarrass him, but the words have already been spoken, even if it is extremely difficult, he must do it, is this a simple injury? A matter of face.
