Lin Jiajingyu's Counterattack in the Red Chamber

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun can clearly end a busy day.The dusk is beautiful, not going up or down, and it stops at just the right position for a day.At the most relaxing moment, Ah Sheng and Yan Hong followed Lin Jingyu to go to school in the front yard and have not yet returned.

On the side of Xinlan Court, outside the West Wing Room specially set up for the big maids who serve them personally, the setting sun and round sunlight shrouded the smiling three people gathered together like silk.Yuxiao, Xianyin and Yanzheng were embroidering the objects that the master of the courtyard would use, while talking about new things in the house.From time to time, there is "do you think it looks good with this?" ','Yu Xiao, does this suit match? ','Will the thread of this color be too bright? 'The sound of discussion.

Originally, Yanzheng and Xianyin were cleaning up the house, but Ke Yuxiao said, 'Yanliu and the others can do these rough jobs', and then she was forced to come here to think about the patterns together.

Yuxiao raised his head to look at the sky, then rolled his eyes and was talking about the strings and zither of "whose daughter-in-law used to be the housekeeper of a big family in the south of the city", and put the embroidery needle with navy blue thread that had just stopped After twisting and twisting, he lowered his head and walked through the embroidery frame holding the half-embroidered sweet-scented osmanthus tree, without changing the direction of his hand.Then, he casually mentioned the reason why the master of Xinlanyuan was anxious these days, and implied that the uncle would select two of the four personal servant girls in Xinlanyuan to go to Beijing with the girl. serve.

The two people who were jokingly stopped talking when they heard Yuxiao talking about master.Just after listening, there was an exclamation:

"hiss--"

Hearing the cry of pain, Xianyin, whose face also turned pale instantly, hastily put down the embroidery thread in his hand, and asked with concern:

"What happened to Yan Zheng?"

"Yan Zheng?"

"Nothing! It's just a prick."

With a pale face, Yan Zheng shook her head at the two people who looked at her with concern, threaded the embroidery needle in her hand on the cloth, and put the food that was dripping with blood into her mouth.

Relieved, Yu Xiao smiled and glanced at the two people who were clearly absent-minded, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

"Yuxiao, are you sure about this?" the steady string tone asked with some uncertainty.Although there is a saying in the mansion that girls will go to Beijing, but you have never heard of this matter? ! .

"How can I know this? The masters will arrange the affairs in the mansion, so they will know when the time comes?" Yu Xiao smiled and denied, and turned the topic to talk about the youngest son of Zhao Er's family. He married the second daughter of Li Sheng's family outside.

Yan Zheng and the string sound did not match the preamble and the afterword, so it turns out that the girl from Zhao Er's family is a girl from Li Sheng's family.

The two are not people who don't care about calculations.In Xinlan Garden, it is impossible for the uncle to let Yu Xiao leave him.And ah Sheng, seeing her silly appearance and behavior, even if she volunteered for Ying, the uncle is not at ease.Isn't it self-evident what goes with you?

Besides, the two of them who came back to their senses glanced at Yu Xiao who was lying on his stomach with a smile on his face.

Yuxiao didn't care about the absent-mindedness of the two of them, and Yuxiao, who became more and more boring as the chatter stopped, stopped talking without a trace, and concentrated on making the sweat towel that Lin Jingyu was going to use.

Seeing that Lin Jingyu, who looked tired, stepped into Xinlanyuan, and had been concentrating on the strings and Yuxiao at the entrance of Xinlanyuan, she hastily put down the embroidery shed in her hand, and went up, Yan Zheng took it off, ah Sheng was holding it Holding the book bag in his arms, he followed step by step.Yu Xiao, who fell behind and was not in a hurry, calmly tidied up the scattered embroidery thread, went back to the house and put it away, and then followed.

When she entered, she saw Lin Jingyu changing clothes under the service of Ah Sheng and others, Yu Xiao nodded slightly to Lin Jingyu who looked over without leaving a trace.

Lin Jingyu concealed the thoughts in her eyes, and let the zither and chords, which were much more attentive and silent than usual, take care of him, calmly.After tidying up, Lin Jingyu, who was relaxed, turned around and walked to the window, and sat on the flower table under the window.Looking at the anxious and panic-stricken two people, he said to them, "Tell me, what is this for today?"

Yanzheng boldly asked: "Master, Yanzheng heard that two of the four of us will be selected to serve the girl? Is this true?"

"How do you know? You have such a plan. Since you already know, you must understand what I mean. Don't you mean you don't want to?"

Hearing this rhetorical question, both of them were stunned.This is definitely not willing!But obviously, this is not an answer that the uncle wants to hear, and it is not something that they, who are maids, can say.

"Master, it's not that Yanzheng doesn't want to." Yanzheng hesitated to speak, but found that no matter what he said was wrong, he might as well not say it.

Lin Jingyu frowned as she looked at the servant girl who was full of reluctance and panic on her face, while Yan Zheng, who saw his movements, was even more frightened.

Lin Jingyu was a little disappointed with Yan Zheng's performance.She felt that the experience was not enough, and she lost the judgment she should have for such a trivial matter.

What he didn't know was that Yan Zheng was a foreigner, and in the heart of his master, he was no match for a maid born at home. Although he usually acted flamboyantly, it was because of the favor of the most promising master in the mansion.But now that her master doesn't want her anymore, how can she deal with it safely.

Looking at Yan Zheng who was getting more and more frightened, Lin Jingyu explained: "Daiyu is going to Beijing this time, and the road in the middle of the capital is far away, so she can't reach her. You have a bright and pungent temper. With you serving the girl, the girl will be much more relaxed."

Seeing that the panicked expression on Yan Zheng's face faded, she turned her head and said to Xian Yin who had been standing beside her with her head bowed silently, "Your and Lin Feng's wedding date has been postponed due to the death of your mother." Having said this, Lin Jingyu paused for a while, and waited. The sadness that floated up in my heart dissipated, and then I continued: "You are originally from the mother's yard, and your affection for Daiyu is two points higher than others. One more thing, you act prudently and cautiously. With you, you will also be able to take care of Daiyu." You can suppress Yan Zheng's temper."

Seeing that Xianyin obviously didn't understand what he meant, no matter how safe she was, could she entrust such a big matter to a girl who hadn't left the cabinet yet?If something happens, who will suppress her temper?Lin Jingyu turned her head helplessly to look at Yu Xiao who was standing aside.

Yuxiao, who received Lin Jingyu's gaze, said: "Master is very kind, we do our best, and he will not treat us badly. Sister Xianyin, in addition to the usual arrangements, the master will also send a respectable nanny to accompany you Guide the girl's words and deeds."

When Xianyin heard this incoherent sentence, he knew it was unusual.She quickly raised her head to look at Yu Xiao who was not looking at her expressionlessly, and got her slight nod, Xian Yin who figured it out quickly lowered her head again, with hidden joy floating in her eyes.

"Master, Xianyin understands! Xianyin will serve the girl wholeheartedly!"

Hearing Xianyin's blunt reply, Yanzheng, who was just thinking about her own thoughts, didn't know their small movements, and knew that this was the arrangement that the uncle had already made.Although the uncle usually treats them very well, he also knows that he will not indulge them in this kind of thing.

"Master, Yanzheng will serve the girl wholeheartedly!"

Looking at Yan Zheng who was still stuck in the dead end and hadn't come out, Lin Jingyu was also quite helpless.He waved them away and leaned back on the back of the chair.Confidentially to Yuxiao worriedly: "Yuxiao, take some time to pick up some Yanzheng!"

"Yes"

Based on the principle of not doing one thing and not doing two things, Lin Jingyu first sent someone to support Lin Butler, so that people could be prepared, and then sent Xinlu, the little maid in the courtyard, to invite Lin Nanny.

The follow-up events were exactly as Lin Jingyu and Lin Ruhai had expected. After Lin Jingyu explained the cause and effect, Nanny Lin agreed directly.In her words, 'Mama's body is still strong, and there is nothing to worry about at home.The master thinks highly of the old slave, and it is the old slave's blessing to let the old slave run around for the house again.Leave this matter to the nanny, and the uncle will just watch! '.

Lin Jingyu didn't expect that Nanny Lin, who acted briskly, would agree on the spot. She was happy while mourning silently for Butler Lin who just got the news.

Nanny Lin's right to speak at home was reflected in the fact that neither he nor his father came to ask for grace, including Nanny Lin's sons and daughters who would definitely object.

Lin Jingyu has calculated and thought in every possible way for Daiyu, and Beijing, which symbolizes absolute royal power, has learned how to hide the frivolous and impetuous Shuiming in the imperial study with a tired look on his face.

In the large and spacious imperial study room, there were only the sound of the wind blowing the silk veil and the "rustling" sound of the emperor's ink strokes on the memorial.

Suddenly, there was a rhythmic sound of 'Knock, Knock, Knock', which was almost imperceptible.

Eunuch Wei, who accompanied the emperor to turn the 'Third Highness' into 'Your Majesty', fixed his ears, then subtly raised his head to glance at the unchanging emperor who continued to bury his head, and stretched out his hand to the palace maid who was accompanying him Swayed slightly.

The maids and fathers-in-law who were serving in the imperial study room kept their heads down respectfully and filed out.There was no sound.

Seeing that everyone had retreated, Eunuch Wei also bowed and retreated to the door of the imperial study.

An afterimage flashed past, and there was a man in black kneeling on one knee under the empty throne.

Even though there was an extra person in front of him out of nowhere, Shui Ming didn't move, the ink brush in his hand kept on.On the memorial to the courtiers loyal to the emperor who recommended Chen Jinsheng to be the vacated servant of the household department, the word "approved" was firmly approved, even though Chen Jinsheng was the niece and son-in-law of Concubine Wan's natal family.The brush strokes are vigorous and vigorous, as if trying to cut through the famous special Jingyu paper, Shui Ming stopped writing.

An ordinary to non-distinctive voice sounded:

"Master, a secret letter from Suzhou!"

"Chen comes up"

The man in black stepped forward with a respectful expression, and put the secret letter in his hand on the table.He returned to his original position and knelt down, waiting to be shown.

Shuiming raised his hand to press the sore eyes, then opened them casually, and glanced at ten lines.

The secret letter only briefly described the big and small events that happened in Suzhou. At the end, it also briefly mentioned the news of the death of Lord Lin’s wife, Jia Min from the Rongguo Mansion. The piece of jade praised.

Because when leaving Suzhou, Shui Ming asked An Zhuang, who was hidden in Suzhou, to pay attention to the child who had a different appearance. Although he was curious for a while, the hidden pile who took the order strictly carried out it.Shui Ming also thought of his whim, since he left Suzhou, this was the first time he had received news about that boy who looked evil but was as clear as a bamboo, and who was obviously cool and thin but always radiant.

Seeing this, Shui Ming's eyes flickered slightly.I remembered the jade pendant that I 'gifted' and was now hanging on another person.

Thinking of him using the things he gave as a favor, Shui Ming looked inexplicable.
