Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

The worries of Lin Ruhai and others did not come true sooner.

The news about the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River made many people in Beijing panic for a while, but this matter has not been followed up. Even the Zhen family who were escorted to Beijing have not come back for a long time, which makes some people because of The residence newspaper listed the crimes of the Zhen family's deficit, corruption and other crimes, and the temporarily restrained family reverted to their old ways.

The calmer Beijing is now, the more depressed it is before the storm.

Someone from the Zhen family once visited Rongguo Mansion and met with Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, and Jia Zheng and others one by one.

It was because they brought some things with them when they came, and at this time the mansion newspaper had already published the fact that their house had been confiscated. Now that they have come, except for the masters who have to go to see the guests, the others are more or less Avoid, so not many people know what confidential things they said.

Some servants of Jia's family saw women from Zhen's family go to Changcui Temple to ask to see Miaoyu, and Miaoyu actually met them.This matter caused a lot of controversy among the servants, and none of them could figure out why the Zhen family sent someone to see Miaoyu.

When Jia Zheng received the men from the Zhen family, he heard them talk about the friendship between the two families for many years. In addition to some jade and jewelry sent now, he also mentioned the things that the Zhen family sent over a while ago, and mentioned Arrived at the four palaces of the four kings and eight princes.

The men of the Zhen family didn't dare to make their words too obvious, they were afraid that the walls had ears, and maybe these words would reach the ears of Nan'an County King.

Besides, they were somewhat looking forward to it.Those who stayed in Beijing shouldered the important task of inquiring news for the family, so they were extraordinarily sensitive to many things.The news that the daughter of the Jia family in the palace, Yuan Chun, may be pregnant is not a big secret, they all know it, and they only hope that the Jia family can speak for them again based on this, and they don't want to keep their past glory and wealth , At any rate, it would be good to save the lives of my family members and return to my ancestral home.

Jia Zheng couldn't hear the man from the Zhen family secretly reminding him to be careful of the Prince of Nan'an, but he could tell that the man from the Zhen family wanted him to intercede for the Zhen family.

This time the Zhen family was suddenly raided, which really made most of these wealthy families in Beijing feel sad. Not to mention the family friendship between the Jia family and the Zhen family, or not. Will ask others for advice in private.

Therefore, after the men from the Zhen family left, Jia Zheng quickly ordered someone to invite his sister-in-law Lin Ruhai to go over the house for a short talk.

After hearing Jia Zheng's details, Lin Ruhai carefully deduced the words of the man from the Zhen family recounted by Jia Zheng, and was even more convinced that the Zhen family must have meant to remind the Jia family to be careful of the king of Nan'an County.It's just that these people of the Zhen family in the capital are all left behind by the Zhen family before, and after the accident of the Zhen family, these people can no longer get new news.

Therefore, they could only remind Jia Zheng tactfully, hoping that Jia Zheng would follow the clues they gave to investigate secretly. How could they have expected that Jia Zheng would only think that they were going to seek help from the four princes and eight princes?Now the King of Nan'an County who still has military power in his hands is indeed the most powerful among the four kings and eight princes. Jia Zheng only thought that the men of the Zhen family took a fancy to this, so he was even more eager to invite the King of Nan'an County to help him.

Lin Ruhai is not unwilling to tell Jia Zhengming, but he knows that Jia Zheng is not someone who can easily hide things in his heart. Once he speaks out, he is afraid that Jia Zheng, who often gets along with the prince, the king of Nan'an County and others on weekdays, will be punished. Others could see that, so they could only remind Jia Zheng that the Jia family must not be involved in this vortex, and they must be more cautious in their daily actions.

Jia Zheng agreed, and couldn't help sighing: "I think the Zhen family was such a illustrious family back then, and I never thought it would fall to this point in a blink of an eye. Speaking of which, it was only this time that the Zhen family came to look for it, and I realized that it turns out that there is something wonderful in our home. Yu, actually has something to do with the Zhen family."

It turned out that this Miaoyu was actually Zhen Baoyu's cousin. In the past, the two families moved around frequently, and even arranged a marriage for the two youngest children early.

Because Miaoyu was weak and sick at the beginning, she never recovered, her family sent her to Buddhism to practice Buddhism, and they planned to marry Zhen Baoyu when she recovered from her illness.However, Miaoyu's parents died later, and Miaoyu's master said that Miaoyu could not go home, so he brought Miaoyu to the capital again. After a long journey, Miaoyu came to Jia's house.

The Zhen family had some contacts with Miaoyu at first, but after Miaoyu's parents passed away and she went to many places with her master, they gradually lost contact with each other.

These people from the Zhen family in the capital were eager to find a way out during this period of time, and once thought about finding the King of Beijing. In the courtyard, the person named Miaoyu took good care of her. Now that Miaoyu has arrived at Jia's house, the Zhen family members came to Jia's house again to inquire and confirm Miaoyu's identity.

It was the first time for Lin Ruhai to hear about this twists and turns, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He told Jia Zheng again that he must make the Jia family be more careful during this period of time. If Jia Zhen can't be persuaded to restrain himself in his usual behavior, don't play around with other dudes all day long, he should go find him. Jia Jing, let Jia Jing take care of Jia Zhen.Although usually everyone is reluctant to disturb Jia Jing, who has devoted himself to the Tao, but this time the incident is unusual, so it is better to be careful.

Jia Zheng always believed in Lin Ruhai's decision, and knew that he really couldn't persuade Jia Zhen, so he really went to see Jia Jing.It's just that Jia Jing also wholeheartedly wanted to be immortal and attain the Tao, and he absolutely refused to be contaminated by the world of mortals, so Ren Jia Zheng still refused to pay attention to what he said.Let Jia Zhen know what Jia Zheng did, and laugh again in private.

Lin Ruhai was very sure before that there were job vacancies in the Jiangnan area, and Jia Yucun would probably be promoted to a foreign position. He is the king of Nan'an County, but he also has a Bowling Marquis Shi Nai mixed in, and he will take his family to take office soon.

Although Jia's mother wanted to keep Xiangyun behind, she wanted to follow the long way if she did not want to give up Xiangyun, but Shi Nai only said that Xiangyun's marriage had been decided, and the Feng family was also a little anxious. Xiangyun stays in Beijing and stays with Jia Mu like when he was a child, but now he is preparing for Xiangyun's marriage, and he really wants to take Xiangyun to the post. Let Xiangyun also stay at Jia's house for a few days before leaving.

Autumn is approaching, and there is still greenery in the Grand View Garden, but there are only remnants of lotus in the lake that have not been salvaged.

The singing of the girls' swallows and warblers is still the same, even the sisters have returned home, and Jia Zheng is too busy with court affairs to supervise Baoyu's homework. Baoyu should be in high spirits, but Baoyu is still a little depressed today. Seeing Daiyu, he still called out "Sister Lin" wearily, then leaned on the table and stared blankly at the sisters, lost in thought.

Because the banquet was held in the Grand View Garden today, and there was also the intention of saying goodbye to Xiangyun, even Wang Xifeng, who was bothered by many chores on weekdays, also came.

Seeing Baoyu's air, she rushed to push Baoyu, and said with a smile, "what's the matter with you? I still talk about my sisters on weekdays, and only say that everyone seems to have forgotten you. It's rare to have a few to play with you, even your room." You are bored with those girls in the movie accompanying you, why are you still like this now that the people you care about the most are here?"

Wang Xifeng didn't use much force, but Baoyu staggered a little while sitting.

Xiangyun smiled and gave Daiyu a nudge.

While Baochai helped Daiyu, she secretly gestured to Xiangyun with her eyes.

Xiangyun didn't care, just smiled and said, "Brother Baoyu, what's the matter? Sister Lin was ill a while ago, and she doesn't look so weak now. Why are you like this? Or are you scaring Sister Feng?"

Seeing Baoyu's reaction, Wang Xifeng was worried, but when she heard Xiangyun say this, she felt relieved, but she didn't dare to push Baoyu any more, so she turned to Daiyu, "Miss Lin, was your son ill a while ago? Are you well now?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine now."

As she spoke, her eyes kept on looking at Baoyu, and her smile gradually turned into worry.

"Sister Feng, is Baoyu really okay?"

Although when Wang Xifeng asked her, Baoyu was also looking at her with worry in his expression, but Baoyu's movements were still somewhat sluggish, and even Baoyu's eyes seemed not as bright as usual.

"I'm fine." It was Baoyu who answered, he shook his head slightly, and looked at Xiangyun with a sad face, "Sister Yun, you...you went to Jiangnan with your uncle and aunt this time, but never came back again ?”

Daiyu was startled, and couldn't help turning her head to look at Baochai, wondering for a moment if she hadn't had her father and younger brother to help, whether she would have mourned like Baoyu when she found out that Baochai was married far away.

No, what will happen to her, it is clear that the result has already been reached.On that day, he suddenly learned about the gift of marriage, and Baoyu at this time today...

Wang Xifeng laughed beside him and said, "Look, it is said that Baoyu and you sisters are the best friends, so it is true! It's strange that he has been like this for a while, because he knew that sister Yun was going to leave Beijing, and he was reluctant to give up. .”

Xiangyun laughed loudly and said, "Second brother, I just went to the south of the Yangtze River with my uncle and the others. How could I really go and not come back?"

If only Shi Nai took up a foreign job with an indeterminate number of years, and her marriage was indeterminate, then maybe Shi Nai would really be betrothed by Shi Nai in the south of the Yangtze River, and she would never be able to return to the capital.

However, now that she has decided on Feng Ziying's marriage, Feng Ziying may not be away for a long time, and he will probably seek to be transferred back to Beijing in the future, and she will be able to go back to Beijing with him.Of course, by that time, she would already be someone else's daughter-in-law.

It is also possible that when she got married, she got married in Beijing...

Many thoughts flashed across Xiangyun's heart, her face flushed slightly, and soon she no longer cared about it.

After Baoyu nodded, he murmured to himself again: "It's fine to leave, it's fine to leave."

This is very strange.

Daiyu was even more puzzled.

In her opinion, although Xiangyun and Baoyu have a strong brother-sister relationship, they will never let Baoyu be like this.

At this moment, Baoyu seemed to have lost his mind, but no one in Jia's family seemed to think about it. Now that there are so many people, Daiyu can't say anything, so she can only watch quietly.

Baochai stood beside her and gently squeezed her hand.

Daiyu turned her head and saw similar worries in her eyes, but she didn't know whether it was joy or worry.

If in normal times, she and Baochai have such a good understanding, even if the relationship between the two is always like this, she will still be a little bit secretly happy.

This time, however, the matter was related to Baoyu, and she and Baochai had passed away for a long time before meeting Baoyu again, and she could tell from Baoyu that something was wrong. Daiyu never believed that no one in Jia's family could see out.

But no one can help Baoyu?

Or is there something hidden in it?

Just as Daiyu was thinking, Xiangyun said angrily to Baoyu, "Second brother! You are so ruthless! What do you mean by leaving?"

Baoyu stared at her blankly for a while, then lowered his head and sighed: "Now this place is a whirlpool. Miaoyu said that she is going to go, and you are going to go too. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to disperse? Why do you bother to come together again?"
