[Red Mansion] Today is also not a person in Jia's house

Zi Ling put down the half-embroidered handkerchief in her hand, got up and saluted and smiled.

"Just after dinner, the girl said it was a bit greasy, so she called Mama Wang from the kitchen to talk, and she was inside. The second girl wants to go in? I'll report it."

Her expression was natural, and Lin Daiyu didn't notice anything unusual.

"You don't need to go in, it's just that the birthday of the third sister of the Jia family is coming up, and the grandmother sent someone to deliver an invitation post. I want to discuss with her what gift to send there. If I have other things, I will go back first. Just tell her."

"Yes, second girl, go slowly."

Respectfully sending Lin Daiyu away, Ziling still sat on the porch embroidering handkerchiefs, not in a hurry.

After another quarter of an hour, the door opened, and Mama Wang came out tremblingly, her forehead covered with fine sweat.

Lin Yun's voice came from the room.

"Mother Wang is getting old, pass on my words and move her to the back room to raise her, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Yes."

Qingmei stepped forward and found that Mama Wang was trembling slightly, took a deep look and did not speak, and helped her walk away.

After they went out, Ziling came in and reported that Lin Daiyu had come.

Lin Yun looked outside the door, wondering what he was thinking, and spoke for a while.

"No, I'm not in the mood. The gift is still the same, you and Xueyan go to give it to you, and ask Chunxian Chunyan what's important."

After ordering casually, Lin Yun's mind was already occupied, and after thinking for a long time, he sent someone to call Lin An.

"I have some things to send people back to Yangzhou, you arrange to search the ship, the sooner the better."

Yangzhou is the place where Lin Ruhai started his family. If he wants to go back and find someone, he must be able to hide it. Lin Yun didn't even think about hiding it to the end, so he just sent people from the Lin family directly.

As for Gusu, she had never been to Gusu, and she knew nothing about it, besides, it was already a distant ancestral home to the Lin family, there must be a proper reason for sending someone back suddenly, as there is no evidence right now, it is better to wait for the people from Yangzhou to come back.

Thinking about it, Lin Yun was not in the mood to talk to Lin Daiyu, went to bed early indiscriminately, and got up early the next day to go to Cheng's house.

Mrs. Cheng just sent Cheng Qian out.

"Why didn't you ask someone to tell you in advance when you came here suddenly? Your father just went to the escort agency, wait for me to ask someone to chase him back."

The only girl in the family was naturally doted on in every possible way, Mrs. Cheng ordered melons, fruits and snacks to be sent up, and asked her how she was.

Lin Yun chatted and laughed with her, then waved back.

"Auntie, I came here today to ask you, but do you still remember what happened to my mother back then?"

Madam Cheng's expression changed instantly, and she stiffly put down the snack in her hand.

"Why did Hao Duanduan ask this? When she passed away, you were still too old to remember. Did someone say something nonsense in front of you?"

Suspecting for a moment that someone had said some nasty things about the concubine, Mrs. Cheng could vaguely see her anger.

Lin Yun pressed her hand hurriedly.

"Now that I'm at home, who dares to gossip about me? There is an aunt in the family. She said that when my mother was kicked out, she was framed, and she also said that the murderer was in the mansion."

A cold light flashed in Madam Cheng's eyes, and she grabbed Lin Yun's shoulder, impatiently.

"Who did you catch?"

"Not yet. I don't believe everything my aunt said, and she doesn't know what happened. Aunt, what did my mother tell you back then?"

Lin Yun's eyes were filled with anticipation, Madam Cheng felt distressed, and reached out to stroke her hair.

"Poor child, you are obviously the daughter of everyone, but you were killed by a traitor. Since I was a child, I wish I could give you the best, but it is difficult to make up for the loss of my mother."

Lin Yun didn't cry, but Mrs. Cheng's eyes were red first.After a while, he withdrew his hand and wiped his eyes, recalling what happened back then.

"Your mother has been pregnant with you for the third year with your father. She burns incense every year, and it was the same that year. Unexpectedly, there was an inexplicable fire when she stayed halfway, trapping her and her servant inside. She thought she was going to die Undoubtedly, who would have expected that the flame would burn until the incense candle made people retch, and then they would know that they had you."

When her biological sisters were in such distress, Mrs. Cheng was heartbroken, but she still smiled and comforted Lin Yun.

"Fortunately, I have you. After she ran out, she couldn't find a girl to serve her personally, so she exchanged her jewelry for money, so she went to Feiyun Villa to find me. Trapped in the fire scene and exhausted after a long journey, she hurt her body and gave birth to you She let go soon. Without you, she wouldn't even be able to survive the last few years."

"Stop talking, Auntie."

Lin Yun buried her head in Mrs. Cheng's arms, obviously she didn't have much impression of this biological mother, but she still couldn't control the soreness in her eyes.

Madam Cheng patted her on the back without stopping.

"After I gave birth to you, I asked her if she wanted to go back, but she said that she was not familiar with the girl who served her that day. Such a capable person attacked her, why would she go back? If I hadn't heard that your father had no children, I would I won't let you go back either."

When it came to the last sentence, Mrs. Cheng felt a little relieved.Those traitors harmed the Lin family's heirs, and in the end, they got their wish!

Lin Yun's head was silent, her chest felt sore and her eyes were sour. She didn't know if it was her own emotions or the induction left by this body.

In order to protect the children from the sea of ​​fire, Aunt Zhang and Aunt He devoted the rest of their lives to avenge the children, which was all that supported their survival.It's a pity that Aunt He's child has already died, and even Aunt Zhang's child did not live past three years because of damage in the mother's womb, and was occupied by Lin Yun.

Damn those people!

Lin Yun raised his head abruptly and wiped away his tears with his sleeve.

"Auntie, I know who the person who made the move is, not only her, but also those accomplices. Don't try to run away. Lin An has been sent to Yangzhou by me. I want to find out all those people back then!"

At the beginning of March, before the weather completely warmed up, Lin An set foot on the road back to Yangzhou.

The reason given to Lin Ruhai was very simple. The two girls missed the things in their hometown, so they sent Lin An back to collect them, and then packed up the things left at home and moved them to the capital.

Unavoidable side effects, Lin Yun tried his best to behave as usual, but Lin Daiyu found it suspicious.

"Ranmo, do you feel that my sister is not very happy recently?"

Holding the piano score in her hand, but her eyes on the chessboard, Lin Daiyu has always been sensitive and easily influenced by others.

Ran Mo came in with a bird-feeding box and didn't take it seriously.

"Isn't the eldest girl always like this? There is something at home, and the Jia family invites you again. The eldest lady is not happy. Today is Miss Tanchun's birthday. We don't come to the house and only give gifts. I think the eldest lady will be fine after today."

Add water to the food box, take out the dyed ink and put it in the cage, and clean up the books on the shelf and the needles and threads on the table when you come back.

Lin Daiyu still frowned.

"Is that true? But I always feel that it's not just because of this. These days, every meal is in a hurry, as if I don't want to see me."

"How can there be such a thing, why are you suspicious at our own house? Mrs. Cheng will go back at the end of the month, probably because of this upset."

Ran Mo smiled and comforted.She really didn't notice any changes in Lin Yun. After all, although this big girl was tolerant, she never liked to joke with girls.

"Probably because of this."

Really can't think of what else to do, Lin Daiyu sighed helplessly, put down the piano score, and set up a chess game at will.

Xueyan came back before dinner to announce the good news to Lin Daiyu.

"Sister Ziling and I went to give the third girl a gift, and we were kept for two cups. I heard that the third girl has a family who is looking at her. Although her ancestors were not from the capital city, she settled in the capital. It seems that her surname is Sun."

Lin Daiyu showed some joy.

"Sure enough? The second sister and the older sister are going to Fujian, and they will be transferred back after a few years. If the third sister is in the capital, there will be someone to talk to in the future."

"That's right. I just waited for the second girl Najib to be hired according to the old lady's wishes. I didn't tell the outside world. Only the few we are close to know."

Xueyan announced the good news, and went back to the house to change her clothes before coming to serve.

Ziling in the next yard was also talking back, saying the same thing as Xueyan, but Lin Yun's reaction was completely different from Lin Daiyu's.

"The Sun family, which Sun family? What's the name?"

Because the family of in-laws told her in advance, where did Ziling go to find out the details?Unexpectedly, Lin Yun's reaction was fierce, and she was stunned for a moment.

"They didn't talk about it. They only knew that they were officials in the capital. They seemed to be some kind of commander. The official position is not very high, but the dowries are many. The second wife is satisfied with choosing his family from all the families."

Lin Yun from the Sun family alone cannot be sure, but with the dowry, two key words can be sure of seven points.

"The dowry? The Jia family really doesn't care about anything. They trade their daughters for future, connections, and now money. It's so easy to raise a few girls. It really can't be wasted."

Yuanchun enters the palace to change his future, Yingchun Gao climbs to change connections, and now Tanchun wants to change the dowry, so in the future, Xichun will just give it away as a gift?

It is extremely ridiculous to dare to call himself a noble family like this.

"It's still early, you ask someone to go to Cheng's house and tell brother that I have something urgent to see him, and ask him to come over when he's busy."

It's a good time for Cheng Qian's new position to feel like a fish in water.After receiving the message, he ordered someone to reply quickly, saying that there was an urgent matter on hand and he would come over in two or three days.

Considering that time is abundant, Lin Yun was not in a hurry. Unexpectedly, Cheng Qian hadn't come yet, so he waited for the dowry gift first.

On the sixth day of March, two large ships docked at the pier of the capital, carrying the flags of the Fujian Governor's Mansion and the Cao Gang, and they were all placed full of people, attracting crowds to watch.

The pair of wild geese at the head of the first boat were full of energy and kept barking, and they were particularly fat.Behind it are seafood, three animals, wine and various gift boxes.

As soon as the things were unloaded, they were seen by sharp-eyed people.

"This is a betrothal gift. Whose girl and young master want to be engaged? It's a big show, or sent by boat. Is there any girl in our capital who is going to be married away?"

"It doesn't matter who they are, it's important to be able to come up with such a dowry gift, but you can't take it out anyway."

The two men shouted across the crowd, making everyone on the shore laugh.

The first ship is the second ship after moving things. The first two boxes are not too big or small. The lids are covered and the inside cannot be seen clearly, but guesses are nothing more than gold and silver betrothal money. Judging from the size and weight, they should be about [-] taels each. .

Many boxes were lifted down one after another, and those not in the boxes were covered with red cloth, which aroused people's curiosity.

"There are so many boxes, they are really high-ranking officials, what is covered, I can't see clearly."

"I guess the one in the back is coral. I heard that coral is in this shape."

"No, I guess it's jade. I heard that those people like to use jade ornaments the most. One piece can be worth our expenses for two or three years."

Based on how they guessed, the people who unloaded the ship were not affected, and filled half of the pier with things.In less than half a cup of tea time, two teams of boys came over.

"Come on, don't occupy the pier here, hurry up!"

The leader in charge directs the servants to carry the goods in an orderly manner, with the wild geese and other objects in front, and the gold, silver and jade objects in the rear, leaving the dock in a mighty way.

People who had nothing to do followed to watch the excitement, guessing whose house it was going to be sent to.

The crowd walked through several streets and stopped in front of the Lin Mansion.

"Cao Shi, who joined the army in Fujian, will come to the door as scheduled, please inform me."
