Ruthless Lian Erye in the Red Chamber

Early in the morning, as usual, Jia Amnesty set off from Rongguo Mansion in a carriage with a gift for his own granddaughter in it. As soon as he went out, the carriage met the oncoming convoy. on.

Jia She was puzzled for a moment, and hurriedly sent a servant to get out of the car to inquire. Jia She was very happy with the report after the servant came back from the inquiry.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, this Lin Ruhai didn't seem to care about that daughter, but now he came to show his loving father, how long did it take for his letter to be sent out? In just 20 days, Lin Ruhai's people came fast enough.

This time, Jia Amnesty decided not to go out, but to come down to see the excitement over there first.

With a polite smile on Jia Amnesty's face, he got out of the carriage and met the Lin family members. The leader was Lin Quan, the second housekeeper of the Lin family.

"Little Lin Quan pays his respects to General Jia." Seeing Jia She, Lin Quan immediately bowed to salute, with a polite attitude, which made Jia She nod in his heart. Much better with my hordes of unruly minions.

Jia Amnesty smiled and said hello, but turned to look at the people led by Lin Quan: "Butler Lin?"

Lin Quan was stunned for a moment, how did Jia She know that he was the second housekeeper of the Lin family, but at this time he didn't make any statement, instead his attitude was more respectful: "The young one is here to pay a special visit to the Rongguo Mansion under the orders of the master. Granny."

"So I'm looking for the old lady," Jia She said with a wider smile on his face, "That's even better, it happens that my master has nothing to do and wants to go to pay her respects to the old lady, why don't I let my master take you in personally?" Bar."

Hearing this, Lin Quan glanced at the carriage that Jia She came down and the people Jia She brought, and then looked at the positions of both of them now, bowed his head in thanks, and directed the people who followed to enter Rongguo Mansion with Jia She.

As for Jia Amnesty's servants, seeing that there was no order from their master, they didn't dare to have any thoughts, so they quietly drove the carriage to the gate of Rongguo Mansion and waited, thinking whether his master would go to see the plum blossoms in a while. the villa.

This is the first time Jia Amnesty has taken the initiative to be like Rongqingtang since these days, but even the few times he stepped in before, it was Shi Taijun who called someone to force him here, especially during these times After making Shi Taijun very angry, Shi Taijun didn't care so much about whether Jia Amnesty came to pay his respects.

Seeing that Jia Amnesty came in personally for the first time, Shi Taijun was taken aback for a moment.

Immediately, the old lady lowered her face, looked at Jia She and said sarcastically: "I never thought that you, an unfilial son, would take the initiative to pay my respects to this old woman."

Jia She smiled and didn't answer, but introduced the identity of Lin Quan who came in with him: "This is someone sent by brother-in-law Lin's family. It seems that brother-in-law Lin wants to say something to the old lady. My son thinks this person is coming. It's just a guest, even if it's a slave, for brother-in-law Lin's sake, we have to treat him well, so we brought him in personally."

Hearing this, Shi Taijun felt a little concerned, but with a smile on his face, he praised Lin Ruhai for his filial piety, and he knew that he would send someone to pay her respects to her mother-in-law. thing.

Jia She curled his lips and sat on a chair beside him, drinking tea leisurely. He didn't respond to the old lady's accusations and scolding at all. This man didn't even say why he came, so are you really sure that he is here to greet you?

But Lin Quan was not affected by Shi Taijun's words, he went forward to salute and say hello, and then said: "My master saw that the old lady took so much care of my young lady, so he specially asked the younger one to bring some gifts over."

Shi Taijun nodded after hearing this, but Mrs. Wang who was behind the screen, who was originally serving at the side, hastily retreated to the side because of a foreigner, stretched her neck slightly when she heard this.

"Master knows that Rongguo Mansion is expensive as the mansion of the Duke, and there are no good things. The old matriarch is also used to seeing those treasures, so he specially ordered the little one to prepare some unique things in Yangzhou, as if to show the old matriarch something new. "Speaking, Lin Quan directed the people to move things in one after another.

Shi Taijun was taken aback for a moment. After all, gift giving has always been done by taking out the gift money list. This real gift will be carried back to the warehouse by the servants after the gift money list is introduced. At most, it is a rare treasure. , just for people to see.Why is the Lin family moving in the gifts they gave them now?

After looking at the two boxes of gifts, Shi Taijun's complexion became a little bad. He thought it was a treasure and wanted to let her take a look at it. Unexpectedly, this servant of the Lin family said that it was a Yangzhou specialty, but it was really a Yangzhou specialty. Slowly, two boxes Yes, there are some pastries from Yangzhou in it. The distance from Yangzhou to the capital is so far, and the pastries were brought here, didn’t they break?Moreover, according to the meaning of the servants of the Lin family, these two boxes of things are all the presents he brought.When Shi Taijun thought of this, his face became even worse.

On the other hand, Jia She, who was sitting drinking tea, saw this and felt happy. This literati is a literati. You see, this gift is obviously a slap in the face, and it can still be so grand. He glanced at Shi Taijun Even though his face was livid but he didn't dare to attack, his heart became happier.

Shi Taijun hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Son-in-law Lin has a heart."

Lin Quanquan took this as Shi Taijun's compliment to his master, and accepted it with a smile, making Shi Taijun angry again.

Mrs. Wang behind the screen saw the gift from the Lin family, and her heart was ruthless. Ever since the old man went crazy for some reason, he thought of ways to give away the things in the mansion. Robbing, saying that these are all his things, she has nothing to do, and the current deficit in this mansion will not make her so impatient.

It was only then that Mrs. Wang realized that in Wang Xifeng's days, she was beautiful on the outside and shy inside. Although she was not stupid enough to fill in her dowry, she valued money more in her heart, and she was even more disappointed now.

Lin Quan thanked him, rolled his eyes around, and asked respectfully: "Dare to ask the old matriarch, my lady is here, the young one here has a letter from the master, let the young one give it to the young lady."

Shi Taijun nodded, turned his head to look at Yuanyang, and Yuanyang immediately stepped forward knowingly: "To my ancestors, at this moment Miss Lin should still be studying with a few girls from Master."

Only then did Shi Taijun look at Lin Quan: "Since Miss Lin came, I have been wondering how to raise her well. After all, I am too old now, and I can't do everything myself, so I hired a girl for her." Sir, let her study with a few sisters."

Lin Quan was shocked when he heard this, why is this different from what the master found out.

After hearing this, Jia Amnesty said in confusion: "The old lady hired female gentlemen for a few girls. Why didn't I know this? As the heir of the Rongguo Mansion, why did no one report this important matter to me?" Take a moment, I saw that there are still no rules for the servants in this mansion, my master is still looking at what else is in the homes of these servants, big or small."

The implication is that they are going to copy the servant's house again.

Shi Taijun glared at Jia She, and reprimanded lightly: "Such a small matter in the backyard, do I need to report to you, an old man? It's just that mud can't support the wall." After she finished speaking, she smiled and looked at Lin Quan: "It's not as good as you Give me son-in-law Lin's letter first, and I'll send someone to deliver it to Miss Lin after class is over."

Lin Quan smiled, with a humble attitude, but the words he said were not pleasant: "Don't worry about the old lady, the master has explained, this letter must be taught to the young lady by herself, since the young lady is in class now, it is better for the old lady The Taijun sent someone to wait for the little one to go over, and the little one was waiting outside the door, and when the young lady came out of class, he immediately handed the letter to the young lady."

After listening to Lin Quan's words, Shi Taijun's eyes wandered for a moment, and he looked at Yuanyang, who immediately stepped forward knowingly: "Old Ancestor, why don't you send someone to inform Miss Lin first, so that Miss Lin can come here first."

Shi Taijun nodded immediately: "Okay, you hurry up and send someone to call, I think Miss Lin also misses her father."

Yuanyang immediately took the order and went down.

After a while, Lin Daiyu held Zijuan's hand and walked in softly. Seeing Lin Quan, her eyes immediately became moist. She went up to greet Shi Taijun and Jia She, and then stood quietly. On the side, he looked straight at Lin Quan who was standing in the hall.

"Girl Lin, your father asked someone to bring you a letter in person, please read it quickly."

Lin Daiyu nodded, her eyes turned red when she thought of her father who was far away in Yangzhou, and she almost shed tears. Fortunately, she still thought that this is Shi Taijun's Rongqing Hall, so she couldn't cry often, so she held back her tears , took the letter from Lin Quan's hand.

"Miss, this is written by the master himself, and the slave will teach it to the young lady himself."

Lin Daiyu sniffed and nodded, holding the letter tightly in her hand.

Seeing this scene, Shi Taijun couldn't help saying: "Yu'er, hurry up and open the letter to see what son-in-law Lin wrote to you."

When Lin Daiyu heard the words, she couldn't bear it anymore, and opened the letter on the spot, and read it carefully, but before she finished reading the letter, Lin Daiyu's eyes were filled with tears, and she called "Father" in her mouth. She couldn't stand up any longer, she leaned against Zijuan, and the letter fell from her hand to the ground.

Shi Taijun became even more anxious, and quickly said, "Yu'er, what did your father write, don't cry, tell grandma quickly."

Jia Amnesty was not as impatient as Shi Taijun. Looking at Lin Daiyu's current state, he went up to pick up the letter on the ground and read it, and said with pursed lips, "Brother Lin just said that his body is not feeling well recently. I want to make Lin Daiyu feel better. Go back, girl." After finishing speaking, he looked at Lin Quan's expression, turned around and said to Shi Taijun, "Old lady, no matter what, this brother-in-law Lin is also the biological father of Lin girl. Now Lin girl has no mother, so she can't do it anymore. Father."

When Lin Daiyu heard Jia She's words, the tears in her eyes flowed even more fiercely. She knelt on the ground, her face full of sadness: "Old Ancestor, please let Yu'er go back, Yu'er wants to go to take care of her father."

But, you can't go back. If you go back, what will happen to my Baoyu?Shi Taijun was in a dilemma.

She unconsciously leaned forward a little and asked, "This son-in-law Lin is really very sick now."

Lin Quan shook his head, looked at Shi Taijun's slowly reassuring face, and said, "Master's body is already weak. After Madam left, Master was even more disheartened. He devoted himself to official duties, and his health became even worse. Well, I accidentally caught wind and cold a few days ago, and when the little one left, the master hadn't handled official business for many days."

"Daddy is so sick, Yu'er is really unfilial," Lin Daiyu cried even harder, and even kowtowed to Shi Taijun: "I beg my ancestors to let Yu'er go back."

This Shi Taijun looked at Lin Daiyu, embarrassed and didn't know what to do. This side is Lin Daiyu, and the other is Jia Baoyu. How to choose, others will understand at a glance. Shi Taijun has a bad premonition. Let Yu'er go back, and Yu'er may not come back again.

Jia Amnesty understood what Shi Taijun meant. Seeing Shi Taijun's embarrassment and being speechless, he amused himself, and then quickly put on an urgent look: "Why is Brother Lin so ill? , you get up, the eldest uncle will decide for you, you go back immediately and ask the servants to pack your things, and you will go back today."

"Boss." Shi Taijun was anxious.

Jia Amnesty ignored Shi Taijun's words, pulled Lin Daiyu up and called someone over, and asked Lin Daiyu to go down to pack her things, as anxious as if Lin Ruhai was going to die soon.

Shi Taijun stared dumbfounded at Jia She's pulling Lin Daiyu out of the Rongqing Hall, and shouted: "Boss."

"Old lady, this is your fault. You have always scolded me for being unfilial. How can you stop Miss Lin from going back to fulfill her filial piety? Isn't this only allowing the state officials to set fires and not allow the people to light lamps?" Jia Amnesty pushed Lin Daiyu halfway. After the Rongqingtang was created, the whole person became a bachelor. Regardless of Shi Taijun's anger, he sat back on the chair and sipped tea.

Lin Quan saw everything in his eyes. Although he didn't understand why Jia She wanted to help him, but thinking that the letter was also written by Jia She, he had some opinions on the master's suspicion of Jia She's motives, and his expression remained unchanged. , took a step forward and bowed to Shi Taijun: "Old Madam, my master has explained that since the old matriarch took such good care of the young lady, the young lady will go back with the young one, and the young one will take the young lady's few days away." I will make up for the food and clothing expenses in the mansion for the past few months," he said, taking out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and holding them in both hands: "Here is the 3 taels of banknotes entrusted to the mansion by the master. Although the young lady gave 2 taels to Young Master Jia Lian as the young lady's expenses when she went to Beijing, but the master still hopes to leave this money to the old lady."

What he said was too shameless. It meant that Lin Ruhai saw that Shi Taijun took good care of Lin Daiyu, so he specially rewarded Shi Taijun, because Lin Ruhai had already handed over Lin Daiyu's expenses to Jia Lian.

Shi Taijun's face turned green and white, and he knew in his heart that Lin Ruhai was dissatisfied with the Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Lian did hand over Lin Ruhai's 2 taels of silver note at the beginning, but it was only after Wang Xifeng was suspended and Jia Lian was expelled The commotion was so violent that she was made to forget about it, so that the servants in the Rongguo Mansion thought that Lin Daiyu's food and clothing were all from the Rong Mansion. Now, Lin Ruhai became even more angry no more.

As soon as Shi Taijun gritted his teeth, he refused to let anyone pick up the 3 taels of silver notes, and passed out while clutching his chest. Yuanyang was so frightened that he yelled 'call the imperial doctor', and Mrs. Wang walked out from behind the screen without caring about any men and women. .

Lin Quan stared dumbfounded at Rongqingtang's fuss, and subconsciously looked at Jia She, who was still sipping tea leisurely.

Jia Amnesty smiled slightly at Shang Linquan's eyes, stood up and shouted: "Stop making noise." Seeing that the crowd stopped because of his shout, he nodded in satisfaction: "Quickly put the old lady away." Help me in, let the imperial doctor show you." Then, he walked up to Lin Quan, took the 3 taels of silver and stuffed it into his arms: "Come on, I will take you to see that Miss Lin has packed up. No, let Miss Lin follow you back to Yangzhou today."

Lin Quan cupped his hands gratefully: "Thank you, General Jia."

"Thank you, thank you, didn't Lin Ruhai give you money!"

Jia Amnesty did what he said, and took Lin Quan to the Bisha closet where Lin Daiyu lived on the spot: "This Bisha closet is next to the old lady, and she has a high status in the house. She is specially made to live here with the phoenix eggs in our mansion, one in the closet and one outside the closet."

After hearing this, Lin Quan responded with a livid face, and made a strong memory of Rongfu in his heart.

The two waited outside the house for a while, and then saw a little maid came out and said that Lin Daiyu's salute had been packed.Back then Lin Daiyu didn't bring much with her when she entered the mansion, but all these years she thought that all her food and clothing belonged to Jia's family, and she didn't dare to ask for anything privately.

Jia She looked at it, and hurriedly took Lin Daiyu, Lin Quan and others out of Rong Mansion. After seeing that Lin Daiyu followed the Lin family, he happily got into the carriage that had been waiting for him by the side of the road, and headed towards Wangmei Villa. .

Jia Amnesty patted the 3 taels of silver note in his bosom with satisfaction, feeling that he got so much money for his precious granddaughter again, and he was even happier.

When the imperial doctor came to see Shi Taijun and prescribed medicine, Shi Taijun woke up and found that Lin Daiyu was not in front of the bed. Then he realized that something was wrong. He sent someone to inquire and found out that it was Jia She who personally sent Lin Daiyu out of the Rong Mansion. , cursed, hurriedly ordered people to find the unfilial son, and then heard that Jia Amnesty had gone to Wangmei Shanzhuang, rolled his eyes, this time, he really passed out.

Jia Lian sat in the room, looking at Situ Xu with a dignified expression: "What are you going to do next? Along the way, apart from the group of dead men we met in the woods, we have encountered three waves one after another. He is a well-trained dead soldier, even if he is caught alive, he will kill himself, this is not acceptable."

"It's really not possible," Situ Xu nodded: "Now, there are some more troublesome things."

"What's the matter?"

Ever since I met several waves of dead soldiers one after another, each time with more people and stronger martial arts, some of the guards around Situ Xu have been injured, and his close servant, the eunuch Laishun, is even dead. It was obvious that he didn't want Situ Xu to return to Beijing alive.

Situ Xu looked at Jia Lian hesitantly, then shook his head: "I can't say anything about this."

Jia Lian nodded, expressing his understanding: "In this case, you should rest early, we will arrive in Jingzhou tomorrow."

Situ Xu nodded, watched Jia Lian go down, then slumped on the chair weakly, with a wry smile on his face: "They actually started to kill Laishun first, I saw that these people know Gu very well," he trembled from He took out a jade box from his bosom, opened it, and there was a pitch-black pill inside, Situ Xu shook his head with a wry smile: "There is one left, the others are at Laishun's place, but Laishun is dead, and His pills are gone too." Situ Xu raised his hand and put the last pill into his mouth, sighed helplessly: "It seems that this time, I really can't go back to the capital."
