Crimson Pearl Tears in a Dream of Red Mansions

Since meeting Qiu Wuyan that day, it has been difficult to calm down in his heart, so he is depressed all day long.In fact, Daiyu knew that Yinzhen had been poisoned by the dragon's tongue from the diagnosis that day, and Daiyu guessed that Yinzhen's poison was probably caused by Qiu Wuyan.Just knowing that Gui knew, Daiyu still hoped that her guess was wrong, so she went to find Qiu Wuyan to inquire about the poison that day, for nothing else, but to confirm her guess from Qiu Wuyan's mouth wrong.However, Qiu Wuyan's tactful attitude forced her to face the painful fact.

"Ah!" Thinking of this, Daiyu sighed again.Xueyan saw her by the side, she couldn't help frowning, and said: "Since the girl came back from going out that day, she has been moaning all day long! If I had known this, I shouldn't have let the girl go out that day, I didn't have to let myself go out Not good. It’s not the old man, the old lady, or the people in the market, who worry about those trivial things every day, frowning!”

"Xueyan, don't talk nonsense if you don't know." Daiyu naturally knew that Xueyan didn't want to make herself unhappy, so she said this, so she didn't blame her.However, it was still difficult for her to resolve the melancholy in her heart.If it was someone else's business, she wouldn't bother to take care of it, it's just that she is watching her grown-up senior brother on the one hand, and Yinzhen on the other!Thinking of Yinzhen, Daiyu couldn't help feeling a little fever on her face. In the past few days, Yinzhen always came to see her intentionally or unintentionally, either tasting poems and discussing tea, or admiring flowers and playing chess, which made her have some feelings for this cold prince Baylor. new understanding.

"Girl, what's the matter with you? Why is your face so red?" Xue Yan took a cup of tea, and suddenly noticed a little blush on her girl's face. "Where is it? You made a mistake!" Daiyu came back to her senses and gave Xueyan a glare. "Obviously..." Before Xueyan could finish speaking, Daiyu scolded with a smile: "Broken hoof, why don't you bring me some tea soon! You're so stupid!" Xueyan just laughed He brought the tea to Daiyu with a smile, and when he left, he was still muttering softly: "Is there obviously? You still don't admit it..."

After Xueyan left, Daiyu rested for a while. Seeing that it was not too late, she called Xueyan and asked, "Where is Daddy now?" Xueyan said, "It's in the study. I just heard from the little girls , the master has just finished talking about official business with Sibeile and Thirteenth brother. Sibeile and Thirteenth brother have just left the study, but the master has not come out yet." Daiyu listened and said: "Bring me some water clean face."

After hearing this, Xueyan fetched water to clean Daiyu's face, removed Daiyu's bun, and redressed Daiyu.Daiyu stood up, left the Lingfeng Garden, and went to the study.After Xueyan ordered the two little girls to clean up, she also followed Daiyu.

When Daiyu came to the study, she saw the two young servants guarding the door, and asked, "Is Daddy still inside?" One of the young servants replied, "It's inside." Daiyu asked again: "The fourth brother and the thirteenth brother are still in there?" The boy said: "Si Bei Le and the thirteenth brother have left not long ago, and the master is reading a book by himself at this moment." After hearing this, Daiyu ordered Xue Yan went to the kitchen and ordered some snacks to be made.Xueyan went as promised.

Daiyu walked into the study and saw her father reading a volume of books, so she walked over and called, "Daddy." Seeing that it was Daiyu, Lin Ruhai put down the book, and said with a smile, "Why is Yu'er here?" Yu smiled and said: "Yu'er has nothing to do, so I came to visit my father. Recently, I saw that my father often discusses matters with the fourth brother and the thirteenth brother in the study, but is there any major issue that the court cannot solve?"

Lin Ruhai listened, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? You don't know that your uncle the emperor doesn't want me to be free, so he sent your fourth brother to bring your thirteenth brother to Yangzhou? Say yes If you want me to teach your fourth brother the way of being an emperor, you really want me to help you worry about your fourth brother!" Daiyu was surprised when she heard this, and asked, "Dad, did you refuse?" Daiyu knew her father very well. He hates the officialdom very much, and even now he has no choice but to be the censor of salt inspection, so he is afraid that his father will refuse to help Yinzhen because he doesn't like to be involved in the turmoil of fighting for the reserve.

"I agreed for my father, otherwise you think I will let your fourth brother and thirteenth brother come into this study?" Lin Ruhai glanced at Daiyu, it seems that her daughter has grown up and her mind has become more serious.Daiyu nodded.Lin Ruhai asked again: "Yu'er, I ask you for my father, are you willing to marry into the emperor's family?"

When Daiyu heard her father's words suddenly, she couldn't help being surprised. After thinking for a while, she asked, "What does Daddy mean?" My elder brother wants to marry you, and I only need to agree with my father, and then I will directly point you to your fourth elder brother in this year's draft as Fujin's intention." After hearing this, Daiyu said for a long time: "Father, fourth elder brother He, didn't he already have a Fujin? There are two side Fujins and two princesses. I heard from my mother that his descendant Fujin Nala gave birth to a son named Honghui for him. Why do you want to come here? Asking to marry Yu'er?"

Lin Ruhai heard this, and couldn't help sighing: "Yu'er, you also know that your uncle actually wants your fourth brother to inherit the throne. However, with the crown prince and the eldest son Yinti in front, the throne may not be your turn. Fourth brother, after all, you also know that the eldest son of the emperor is now fighting fiercely with the Communist Party, and behind them, one is Mingxiang and the other is Suoxiang. As for your fourth brother, Concubine De is not close to your fourth brother, if One day the eldest son of the emperor and the Communist Party will collapse, so who will the Wuya family behind the concubine de concubine support as the crown prince and inherit the throne? This person is probably a little more than the fourteenth elder brother. Therefore, your uncle Huang wants you Fourth brother helps you to ascend to the throne, so you must find a Yue family who can speak for your fourth brother and is reliable."

Daiyu listened, thought for a while, and said to Lin Ruhai: "Daddy, Yu'er is not afraid of imperial power, nor is she afraid of harem battles. It's just that Yu'er wants to be like her father and mother, a couple for life, and It's not living in a struggle for favor." After speaking, Daiyu left the study and went to Jia Min's place.

Seeing Daiyu leave, Lin Ruhai picked up a letter on the table, sighed, and said, "Yu'er, I'm afraid you are destined to marry into the emperor's family."

At this time, an old monk with white beard and eyebrows came out from the inner room of the study. This old monk was none other than Lin Ruhai's second uncle. Why become a monk as a monk, the Dharma name is "clear".Master Zhiran glanced at Ruhai, and said, "Ruhai, I think Yu'er may have feelings for Sibeyl, but when I saw her say that just now, there was a faint look in her eyes, as if there was something wrong with her." Tears fell." "Second Uncle, why don't I know. I have watched Zhen'er and Yu'er getting along these few days, and I can understand their affection at a glance. It's just that Yu'er's temper is very similar to mine. Even if she marries Zhen'er, she won't be happy!" Lin Ruhai sighed, with deep worry in her tone.

Master Zhiran sighed slightly, and said: "Thinking that I have been trapped by love all my life, even though I am in Buddhism, my heart is hard to calm down. The figure of Wanmei is still lingering in my heart, so I always hope that others will not Like me. But looking at Sibeile and Yu'er, I can't help but feel that this is very similar to me and Wanmei back then." It turns out that when Master Zhizhi was young, he was self-confident and determined to find a man with both talent and beauty. The woman was his wife, and later in Jinling, she accidentally met Dong Xiaowan, a famous prostitute who was known as one of the "Qinhuai Eight Beauties" at that time. Although Dong Xiaowan was a prostitute, she was both talented and beautiful. The lotus gives people a feeling of "can be seen from a distance but not played with".

When Lin Lanqing saw Dong Xiaowan at that time, he immediately fell in love with her. He didn't care about Dong Xiaowan's low status and insisted on marrying her.However, at that time, Lin Lanqing's father, who was the head of the Lin clan, was rigid and refused to agree, saying that at most he could only be a madam.Lin Lanqing was well aware of Dong Xiaowan's arrogance, and she couldn't bear to wrong Dong Xiaowan, so she resolutely left home.Dong Xiaowan felt Lin Lanqing's deep affection, so she told Lin Lanqing that as long as there was his affection, even if it was unknown, she would be willing.

Lin Lanqing was very moved when he heard this, so he set up a foreign house in Suzhou, and stayed with Dong Xiaowan every day. Soon Dong Xiaowan became pregnant, and Lin Lanqing was very happy.Unexpectedly, Dong Xiaowan died of dystocia, leaving only one daughter behind.Because Lin Lanqing missed Dong Xiaowan, she also named her daughter Wan'er.And because he was afraid that his father would not be able to tolerate the child, he entrusted him to Shen Ru, a guard who was in front of Emperor Shunzhi at that time, as his adopted daughter.

Thinking of this, Master Mingran said to Lin Ruhai again: "Ruhai, in fact, I am here not only for the sake of Yu'er. There is another matter, I want to ask you for help." After hearing this, Lin Ruhai smiled and said "Second Uncle, just tell me what you want." Master Liao Ran said, "You know that I have a daughter, Wan'er, who was raised by Shen Ru since birth, and she was given to Nalan's son Rong Ruo I became a concubine. But I know that Rong Ruoji loves her, so that's all. It's just that Rong Ruo was ordered to die later, but after he faked his death and became a monk, Wan'er lost the news. Although I got news that she was dead, I always feel that she is still alive, and I heard that they still have a daughter, and I don't know where they are now."

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, Second Uncle, I will definitely take this matter to heart. I just don't know what are the characteristics of Sister Wan's daughter?" Master Liaoran said, "I only know that there is a red spot on the back of her neck. Heart-shaped birthmark, I don’t know about the others.” Then, after listening to Master Ran, he said, “Ruhai, actually, I asked you to investigate this matter for me. Concubine Hui is related to Prime Minister Ming."

"Oh? But sister Wan is just a weak girl. Except for a few people, no one knows her relationship with the Lin family. How can she hinder the eyes of Concubine Hui and Ming Xiang?" Lin Ruhai was a little puzzled, Shen Wan was his cousin's business, even Min'er didn't know about it. "I'm not too sure, but what I'm sure of is that Wan'er must have known something, and it's not unrelated to the death of Empress Niu Hulu." Master Liao Ran said with certainty.

"You mean Empress Xiaozhaoren? But didn't she hang herself? Could it be that what happened back then..." Lin Ruhai stood up abruptly after hearing this, and kept saying, "Impossible, absolutely impossible? The concubine is just a concubine, and Mingzhu has no influence in the court, how is that possible?" "Ruhai, what's wrong with you?" Master Liaoran suddenly saw the shocked expression on Lin Ruhai's face, and asked unconsciously.

"If you say so according to your second uncle, I'm afraid that the death of Empress Tong Jia will have something to do with Concubine Hui. And I know that Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi had a good relationship at that time, and I'm afraid that Empress Tong Jia will die..." Lin Ruhai A little stunned, if the facts are as he guessed, then the third brother will regret it when he finds out?

"Ruhai, Ruhai..." Master Liaoran called Lin Ruhai several times, and Lin Ruhai finally realized it, so he hurriedly said, "Second Uncle, I'm sorry, my nephew lost his temper." Master Liaoran didn't say anything when he saw Ruhai The reason, knowing that there must be something hidden in it, so I didn't ask any more, just said: "I have been out for a while, so I won't bother you anymore, I'm going back."

After Lin Ruhai heard this, he asked, "Second Uncle won't stay at the mansion?" Master Qiao Ran shook his head, and said, "I'm already an outsider, and I'm here this time because I can't bear Yu'er's suffering, so I just want to say something." , As for other things, I don’t want to worry about it anymore.” Lin Ruhai nodded and said, “In that case, I’ll send someone to send my second uncle off.” Master Qingran waved his hand and said, “No need.” , and drifted away by itself.

After knowing that the master had left, Lin Ruhai called out: "Wen Mao is here?" After speaking, he heard a promise from someone outside the door, and a handsome man walked in after a while, only to hear the man say: "What do you want to do, master?" " Lin Ruhai said: "Wen Mao, hurry up and ask the people in Gleneagles to investigate the actions of Concubine Hui and Mingxiang when Shen Wan disappeared. In addition, where is Shen Wan's daughter Qingyu? Nalan There is a red heart-shaped birthmark on the back of Qingyu's neck, remember, you can only check it secretly and don't alarm anyone. If you find it, report it to me immediately."

"Yes!" Lin Wenmao agreed and withdrew.At this moment, Lin Ruhai couldn't help thinking secretly in his heart: "I hope there won't be too many bloody storms." However, what Lin Ruhai didn't expect was that, in fact, the bloody storms had already begun since the death of Empress Xiao Zhaoren.
