The Warm Jade of the Red Chamber

"Li Lin told me through Lin Qi while she was changing clothes that the old lady and the second wife of her grandfather's family wanted to force her to death and embezzle the property of the Li family. She hoped that I could save her life. I thought Let’s stay here first and then investigate.” Daiyu really didn’t want to believe this unthinkable thing, but when she thought of what Jia’s mother and Mrs. Wang did when Jia Min was seriously ill, she felt that they would do something. Such a thing is not impossible.But whether the matter is true or not, there is always an investigation. Although she kept Li Lin and Xichun down, she also asked Lin Xi to arrange someone to watch them quietly.However, after Li Lin and Xichun got together, they didn't even take half a step out of the door, and the two little girls leaned together, quite uneasy.

"This matter, if you think about it this way, it may indeed be true." Zhuang Yu has information about the Jia family in his hands, and he is not completely ignorant of it, but for now, the Jia family's treatment of Li Lin is only more The more stringent they were, the tighter and tighter they were on food and clothing, but it was a bit far-fetched to say that the Jia family wanted to force Li Lin to death.However, even delaying the administration of medicines would be delayed. If this continues, I believe that it won't be long before Mother Jia and the others' methods will become more and more reckless.

With Zhuang Yu's affirmation, Daiyu became more and more suspicious, and said, "It's only 30 million taels, how can it be worth a human life?" It can be figured out, but the amount of silver in the warehouse is more than this amount, so it is even more incomprehensible that Jia Mu and others intend to kill a person for the meager two to three million taels.

Zhuang Yu quickly said: "In the past, two or three hundred thousand taels would not have been considered so important by them, but it is not easy for the Jia family to easily take out such a large amount of money. What's more, the Li family It’s fine if they don’t have their wealth in their pockets, but if they eat it and spit it out, I’m afraid it’s more worrying than not having anything to eat.”

Daiyu thought about the big and small things that happened in the Jia family in the past year, and she could only sigh. The Jia family has become more and more miserable, and now it has reached the point of losing all conscience: "If this is true, I will never be able to accept it." Seeing Li Lin being murdered." It would be fine if she didn't know about it at first, but now that she begged her, she couldn't bear to turn a blind eye.

Zhuang Yu kissed Daiyu's cheek, and said: "No matter what you want to do, go there boldly, I will always stand by your side, we are a majestic prince's mansion, and we can get a Jia's family to mess with it. What?" After all, Zhuang Yu didn't take the Jia family seriously. If the Jia family desperately wanted to fight the Prince's Mansion, they would definitely suffer.What's more, Jia's house is now a mess inside and out, and I don't have time to reach out to other people's yards.

Speaking of which, Jia's family used to be the family of a government mansion, even if it declined, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse.But the descendants are unworthy, and there is no one who can do anything, so this camel can only be a piece of paper.

Zhuang Yu saw the essence of Jia's family early on, so after Jia Yuanchun's accident, because the Supreme Emperor was thinking about the past, he said Jia Daishan, Emperor Chunyou treated Jia's family lightly, and only executed Jia Yuanchun, But when he was not injured, Zhuang Yu did not persevere, he just watched them kill themselves.

Losing Jia Yuanchun, the Jia family still has the strength to recover, but they seem to have broken their pillars, each of them is discouraged, and none of them is working hard to revive the lintel. The hope of making a fortune was all pinned on Jia Yuanchun, and he only wanted to rely on his nepotism to glorify his family.

This, in particular, makes people feel ashamed and disdainful.

But there are also those who are not completely confused, such as Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, who are still somewhat decisive.

The relationship between Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng can be regarded as constant turmoil, especially after the downfall of the Wang family, Wang Xifeng lived through a period of gloomy days.

However, since Wang Xifeng gave birth to her son, she regained control of the housekeeping. With her skills, she managed to barely support the rotten interior of the Jia family.

Jia Lian had reconciled with Wang Xifeng for the sake of his son-in-law, but the two finally had the son they had been looking forward to for many years, and Wang Xifeng's temperament was much softer than before. The dilemma of being right made the two of them have a rare concentricity.

As long as Jia's mansion is about to collapse, they are also powerless to recover.Presumably, when Jiamu passed away and the first and second households separated, the Duke's Mansion would cease to exist.

Now, Wang Xifeng took the advantage of the housekeeper to amass public wealth and asked Jia Lian to buy some Zhuangzi fields in the suburbs of Beijing, thinking that there would always be a way out in the future.Don't say that this public property belongs to their big family, there is no need to fill their pockets like this, it will always belong to them in the future.Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng finally understood that even if Jia's mother insisted on leaving a message on her deathbed, she would force them to give Jia Baoyu a lot of furniture, so it's better for them to buy some private property quietly now.

Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Wang were excluded from the young couple's plan, because they were still as ignorant as before, and they couldn't afford to conspire with them.Anyway, if something bad happened to the Jia family in the future, the young couple would not have to support their parents.Today's Jia Lian no longer seeks to inherit any titles, but only seeks to be a wealthy and idle person, and a person who has grown up in rich clothes and well-fed food cannot easily suffer.

There is also Jia Zheng, who originally just held the position of Yuanwailang and no one cared about him, but now he has also been assigned a task, but he has not done practical work for many years, and now he suddenly took over, and there is no one to help him. I always make mistakes, and after several downtimes, I have been repeatedly criticized and criticized.Jia Zheng felt resentful and embarrassed, and finally after making a big mistake, he was overthrown by the imperial envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and Yuanwailang's position was also removed.After all, even if Jia Daishan had asked for Jia Zheng's official position from the Supreme Emperor when he was dying, it was considered a grace not to dismiss him before.

Jia Zheng lost his official position, so he could only stay at home, and he and Mrs. Wang became a pair of idlers.

Mrs. Wang can still take pleasure in "teaching" Shi Xiangyun, but Jia Zheng let go after being so angry with Jia Baoyu. Every time he disciplines Jia Baoyu, Jia's mother will cry to the ground. His only remaining backer was pissed off.But Jia Zheng, who had nothing to do at home, could only slip Jia Huanti to his eyes and enjoy teaching him.Jia Huan is now in his teens, and he has already been raised with a distorted temper, and it is difficult to correct it now.Fortunately, he still has some winks. Although he doesn't like reading, he can obediently listen to Jia Zheng when he is teaching him, which makes Jia Zheng a little happy. It's just that he started late. It is impossible to read out any results.

As a result, Jia Zheng regretted wasting too much time on the stubborn stone Jia Baoyu, and delayed Jia Huan, a good seed, and hated Jia Baoyu even more.

And Jia Baoyu was very afraid of Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng was at home every day. In order to avoid Jia Zheng, he simply took Li Ran out to play every day.

This obstinacy made them get to know Princess Yimeng of Qianxiang Kingdom, and another case was involved.

This is something for later, and ignore it.

It is only said that Zhuang Yu told Daiyu about the Jia family's affairs in general, but Daiyu frowned more and more. Prince Chengke's mansion is backed by someone, and Lin Hai himself is not good at calculating, otherwise he really doesn't know what it will be like to be dragged down by the Jia family.

Zhuang Yu didn't want Daiyu to frown, and he didn't like Daiyu to bother about the Jia family's affairs. He just said that he had asked Li Lin in the day before he could worry about it, and he could do whatever he wanted at that time. After a tiring day, you have to take a good rest and come back.

Daiyu also knew that it was useless to think too much, so she nodded and went to sleep. She wanted to be more vigilant when she went to bed at night. If Zhuang Lan was crying, she would coax her first so that Zhuang Yu could sleep well.But her physical fitness is not as good as Zhuang Yu's. Zhuang Yu's vigilance trained in the army came in handy at this time. He focused a lot on his precious daughter, and when there were some changes, he got up to look. Didn't wake up Daiyu either.Even handing over her daughter to the nanny, maybe she was not so thoughtful.

After all, Daiyu was tired. She slept until dawn, and when she woke up, she felt a little guilty, thinking that Zhuang Yu was working so hard.But Zhuang Yu became more energetic on the contrary, feeling his daughter's need for him, and felt the indescribable satisfaction in his heart.He has to go to court to do business during the day, no better than Daiyu and Qiu Qingyu can get along with Zhuang Lan for a whole day, if he doesn't get close to his daughter at night, maybe the father and daughter will become estranged in the future.He didn't want to be like the other families at all, father and daughter met as guests, and just said a few words every day as a routine.

Seeing that he was so persistent, Daiyu had no choice but to give up.

Daiyu carried her daughter to greet Qiu Qingyu, then left her daughter in front of Qiu Qingyu to have fun, and went to talk to Li Lin and Xichun by herself.

The last time we got along in Zhuangzi, Daiyu had a good impression of Li Lin and Xichun, otherwise, if it was Tanchun who did yesterday's show, she would never have left him in the palace.

After a night of precipitation, Li Lin and Xichun, the excitement of yesterday's successful strategy has subsided, and they know that if they can't convince Daiyu, they will always go to Jia's house to experience the wind and frost sword.What's more, what they did yesterday, if they are not careful, they may offend Prince Chengke's mansion.

Therefore, when she saw Daiyu, she couldn't help being a bit cautious, and she went forward to salute in a proper manner, and Li Lin even knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Li Lin kowtowed to the concubine to plead guilty! What I did yesterday made the concubine more troublesome." Trouble, please forgive me. The fourth sister is all for saving me, please don't blame her."

Daiyu also didn't mean to beat around the bush with them, she said straightforwardly: "If what you said is true, I will not refuse to save you, but if you have other thoughts, I will not tolerate it either."

Both Li Lin and Xichun said, "That's natural."

Li Lin went on to say: "To tell you the truth, what I said yesterday may have been a bit exaggerated. Although the Jia family treated me harshly and delayed giving me the time to extend the doctor's treatment, strictly speaking, I don't really have them to force me to do so." Evidence to kill me. It’s just that I’m afraid I won’t get the opportunity yesterday, so I have the courage to ask the princess to save me. In fact, I don’t have much request, I just want to leave Jia’s house, for the future To be able to live and live in peace, I just want to go back to a village in the suburbs of Beijing in my mother’s dowry. That village does not produce much, but it is enough to support me. I ask the concubine to help me. I will leave it to fate.”

Li Lin's words were in line with what Zhuang Yu said, and she didn't exaggerate the facts and make alarmist talk just because she wanted to ask Daiyu for help, which made Daiyu think highly of Li Lin.

Daiyu asked again: "Then you don't care about your younger brother?"

Li Lin hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed: "My younger brother and I were originally dependent on each other, but we have become more and more estranged after entering Jia's family for a few years. My younger brother has an air of refinement. , but he does not see clearly. He is not protected by his grandmother or parents like his second cousin. Even if he does nothing, he is not bad at eating and clothing. Although I want to persuade him , but he couldn't listen to it. Recently, he and his second cousin became obsessed with going to the Chanwei Building to listen to Zen sermons. I reckon that his future fate will be like what his father worried about back then. Taoism is above. If so, the Li family property is useless to him, but he can have a good death, so he can only let him go."

Chanwei Building is a vegetarian restaurant that has just emerged in recent years. The restaurant next to it invites storytellers to tell stories, and they invite eminent monks to discuss Buddhism and Taoism from time to time. It is also a unique place in the capital.

After listening to Li Lin's words, Daiyu felt sympathy, and even developed a kind of empathy. It was really weird to think about it. After all, her life was very smooth. How has she ever experienced such a difficult situation as Li Lin?

Although she couldn't figure it out, it didn't prevent Daiyu from making a decision to help Li Lin.
