[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Hearing that Lin Daiyu said that the engagement was going to be done quietly, Lin Jian frowned immediately.

He didn't want to make an appointment quietly, and his engagement to Lin Daiyu wouldn't affect what he was going to do.

Lin Jian was about to open his mouth when he thought of this, but before he could say it, he thought about it carefully, and felt a little bit of separation.Immediately, his eyes flickered, but he swallowed back what he was going to say.

The visit to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was originally to find love in private, and naturally the time to stay could not be too long. Lin Daiyu talked with Lin Jian for a while, and when Zijuan walked in silently with a cloak, Lin Jian knew that he had arrived It's time to part.

Lin Jian led Lin Daiyu to stand up, took the cloak from Zijuan and tied it on Lin Daiyu herself, and when she sent Lin Daiyu to the prison gate, she softly told her: "Yu'er, be careful on the way back."

Lin Daiyu nodded in agreement, and she let Lin Jian put the veil on her. Before she left, she stretched out her hand and gently shook Lin Jian's hand. They were all reluctant to part with Lin Jian.

As soon as she walked out of the cell door, Zijuan was about to raise her hand to put down the veil for Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu suddenly held Zijuan's wrist to stop Zijuan's movement, and then looked back at Lin Jian, her eyes full of flickering light.

At this moment, the jailer hadn't come yet, and there was only Zijuan beside Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu's voice was soft and not too loud. She smiled and said to Lin Jian: "Brother, I've changed my mind. It's about the two of us." You don’t need to make a secret decision, you should let everyone know.”

As soon as Lin Daiyu finished speaking, the jailer came over from the corridor.Lin Daiyu didn't say anything else, looked at Lin Jian and smiled, then put down the gauze on the veiled hat, and left with Zicuckoo.

She did not explain to Lin Jian why she suddenly changed her mind.

The jailer didn't go out with Lin Daiyu. After Lin Daiyu left, he locked Lin Jian's cell door as usual, and then took away the torch placed on the wall.

After the jailer left, the cell was once again plunged into darkness, with only a little sunlight coming in from the top window of the cell falling on the cell.If someone was standing outside at this moment, they could see a smile slowly forming on Lin Jian's lips.

Lin Daiyu didn't say anything, but Lin Jian knew why she suddenly changed her mind.

Lin Daiyu has a very good reputation in the capital now, and she also knows that Lin Jian's incident will damage his reputation. Even if the truth/truth comes out in the future, it will still have some impact, so Lin Daiyu thought of using marriage as a substitute Lin Jian eliminated some influences.

She is very thoughtful. The two want to go further because they like each other and cherish each other. Since the combination will be a win-win situation, why should there be any worries about not doing it?

The only thing she was worried about was that she would miss Lin Jian's important event.Therefore, I would rather settle quietly first.

But Lin Jian thought of it as soon as Lin Daiyu said this. In fact, there is no need to make a secret engagement. If the engagement between him and Lin Daiyu is announced, it will actually achieve the effect Lin Daiyu expected.

But the reason why Lin Jian didn't say it in the end was that he still didn't want to confuse these two things. The two of them were together because of their hearts and feelings, and they couldn't be equated with these calculations.

If he said it, it would be a deliberate calculation, and he would not let Lin Daiyu misunderstand her like this.

However, this girl is sincere and gentle, she treats him wholeheartedly, and before leaving, she somehow thought of these things and changed her mind.

In fact, Lin Daiyu didn't change her mind temporarily.When she was thinking about these things earlier, she had a flash of light in her heart. She just sat and talked with Lin Jian, and was kissed by Lin Jian again. Her heart was hot and hot, and she patronized talking with Lin Jian Yes, this thought was forgotten.

It was also when she was about to leave later, when she looked at Lin Jian for the last few times, Lin Daiyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and she thought of this level in her heart, so she hurriedly told Lin Jian.

After Lin Daiyu came out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, although she was wearing a veiled hat, she was still dazzled by the warm and bright sunlight outside.

Lin Daiyu stopped at the door for a moment, looked at the direction of the sun, and took a last look inside through the veil hanging from the veiled hat, and then got into the car with the support of Zijuan.

She has made up her mind, and she will discuss this matter with Mrs. Qiao when she returns home.The matter of going to Jia's mansion to propose a marriage can be done now. She has already expressed these thoughts on Jia's mother's side. Now, Jia's mother knows that she can't control her, and she also knows that the Lin family protects her. Regarding her marriage, Jia's mother naturally obeys. The Lin family made the arrangements.

When the two families finished exchanging Geng Tie and the marriage was finally finalized, the effect she wanted would naturally be achieved, and it would be a help to Lin Jian to some extent.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, time flies by, and it is mid-April in the blink of an eye.

Lin Jian was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Except for the first few days after he was interrogated by several chiefs of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, no one came to interrogate him again.

He served as the capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate for nearly half a year, and served as the deputy capital censor for two or three months. He was already familiar with the procedures of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Ministry and Dali Temple.In fact, there is no need to try his case. He himself admitted that the decision could have been made by Emperor Chengsheng in the court.

But he has done a lot of things secretly these days, and there are many actions that made Emperor Chengsheng notice that something was wrong intentionally or unintentionally, and there were even hidden meanings in what he said, which made people bother to think about it. He looked at Emperor Chengsheng He looked like he really cared about the Lin family, and he also really valued him. He had confirmed this since Emperor Chengsheng insisted on ordering the Ministry of Punishments to review his case with Dali Temple.

The case had already been settled, and Lin Jian had admitted it personally in the court. He naturally cooperated with the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to try the case.As for what and to what extent they can find out, or whether Emperor Chengsheng can detect those hidden old things from his hints and abnormalities, it depends on what the people outside do.

He has done what he should do, and now he is locked up here, he just needs to wait for the news, and there is no need to do anything else.

Lin Jian couldn't see what was going on outside. In this dark and damp prison, he could only judge whether the weather outside was sunny or rainy, cloudy or night from the little light leaking from the top window.

Seeing that the clothes of the jailers who came to bring him food every day were getting thinner day by day, and the daylight leaking from the top window was getting warmer day by day, Lin Jian himself gradually put on the clothes that Lin Daiyu had prepared for him earlier. thin shirt.

He knew that it was already the season of spring, and if it came soon, the matter should have almost come to an end.

This morning, Lin Jian woke up from his dream and got up from the couch.

After waking up in the morning, he was going to throw off his posture to practice sword or boxing, but there was not enough room in the cell for him to use it, and since his hands and feet were in shackles, it was not easy for him to do too drastic movements. I simply exercised my muscles and bones while wearing the shackles, and the ten-jin shackles were rightly regarded as sandbags.

It took about half an hour to hear the clanging of the shackles and irons in the prison before it stopped.

After Lin Jian exercised his muscles and bones, he squinted his eyes and stood in the prison, listening to the movement outside.

It was early in the spring, when he got up the sky was still very bright, now it was bright, but it was still cloudy just now, when he listened again, it was already raining outside.

He has been in this prison for half a month, and it rained twice, and once it rained for four or five days in a row, the prison was so damp/damp in those few days that the mats on the couch could be wrung out/ The water is coming.

It stands to reason that the jailer should have brought him breakfast by the time he finished exercising.

The family has prepared, and his meals have been good for the past half month. The meals were brought to him, and he also checked, and the meals these days have not been tampered with.But I don't know what happened today, it was about the same time, but there was no movement in the corridor outside, and no one brought him breakfast.

Lin Jian waited for another quarter of an hour before he heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside.

Except for the interrogation by the Ministry of Punishment, there was only one jailer who came to him three times a day to deliver meals, but now he heard the footsteps of several people.

As the fire approached, Lin Jian saw an acquaintance by approaching the jailer's torch light.

Lin Jian laughed: "Why is father-in-law here?"

Apart from the jailer who led the way, the acquaintance Lin Jian saw was not an outsider, but Deping who served in front of Emperor Chengsheng in the palace. Deping was the head of the Palace of Qinzheng. He rarely came to places like the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. This time he not only came, but also accompanied by two young eunuchs.

There was another man in black, wearing a black cloak and a black hood, standing in the shadow not far away. That man held his breath and concentrated his breath. body.

But even if he concealed his appearance like this, the black clothes and black hat couldn't cover up the man's burly figure. Looking at the man's strong figure, Lin Jian's eyes lingered on the man for a little longer, and he also looked at him more. I glanced at the man several times.

It wasn't until Deping spoke that Lin Jian looked away.

Deping saluted Lin Jian and said hello. After the jailer opened the cell door, Deping walked into the cell, looked at Lin Jian and said, "Mr. Lin, the Holy Spirit has a decree for you."

Lin Jian keenly noticed that Deping called him Marquis, not lord.

Lin Jian knelt down to listen to the decree, and Deping unfolded the decree in his hand, and read out the decree word by word.

The content of the imperial decree is actually not long, but very short, it is the verdict on Lin Jian's case.

The case of Lin Jian was closed under the joint trial of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department. The Criminal Department of Dali Temple found out the facts, Lin Jian confessed again, and accepted the imperial order of the Holy Emperor. The post of deputy capital censor of the academy was removed from the title of Prince Shaofu.

Lin Jian's title of marquis was obtained from his previous military exploits, and it is no longer within the scope of this case. Emperor Chengsheng graciously retained him as a marquis, but still deprived him of his real position to show his willingness to punish him severely.
