I am a man in a dream

But Lin Hongming has been mediocre and incomprehensible since he came to this world, and he hasn't shown his true temperament for many years. Seeing Sister Feng setting off firecrackers at this time, he inevitably moved the heart of a child, and took advantage of Sister Feng's invitation to go. up.At the beginning, the young men didn't dare to give the big one, so Lin Hongming only let the small one go. Later, as Lin Hongming played more and more fun, the young men became bolder and replaced it with the big one, and there was a burst of firecrackers in the yard.

Baochai said to Daiyu, "Brother Lin is said to be steady, but I didn't expect to have such a naughty side." Daiyu laughed and said, "My brother is steady on the outside, and he doesn't show his true nature when he meets grandmother." Mother Jia laughed loudly. Laughing: "Boy Ming is the most mischievous, but he is mischievous in a proper way, which suits my heart the most." Baochai looked at Lin Hongming, her face flushed slightly.Daiyu wondered: "Sister Bao didn't drink, why did her cheeks turn red? But the wind is blowing?" After hearing this, Jia Mu looked at Baochai and said, "It's the coldest night, so you should add some clothes." Baochai's cheeks became more and more red: "It's not a problem, it's just that the smoke is so strong." Jia Mu nodded: "Although the fireworks are beautiful, they smell strong. Your girl is weak and can't stand it. You'd better go indoors." " Baochai said: "It doesn't get in the way." Just as he was talking, he heard an oops, and everyone looked and was surprised.I saw a firecracker exploded beside Lin Hongming, sparks flew everywhere, and his clothes caught fire, and the flames rose slowly. Thanks to Lin Hongming's diligent practice of martial arts, he jumped out of the fire ring in twos and took off his coat.Mother Jia was so frightened that her face turned ashen, and she hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, put out the fire!" Everyone rushed forward, and at this moment Qianqing poured a bucket of water on Lin Hongming's body, and the flames were extinguished immediately.Jia Mu's spirit suddenly relaxed, and she slumped on the chair.Daiyu, Baochai, Sister Feng and others immediately gathered around to check: "Where is it burning? Are you okay? Go and change your clothes, don't freeze." Lin Hongming picked up the firecracker on the ground and looked at it without saying anything. Look, he said to Qianqing: "Go and check, this fire is strange." Qianqing took the order and left.Yaqi took the clothes and put them on for Lin Hongming and greeted Jia Mu: "I surprised you, it's my grandson's fault." Jia Mu patted her chest and blamed: "The fireworks are easy to mess with, I said be careful, What's the matter? Something happened. Fortunately, he wasn't injured, otherwise, how could he go to court?" Lin Hongming claimed yes.Sister Feng blamed herself and said, "It's all my fault, and Brother Lin is involved." Mother Jia scolded, "It's all your master's ghost. If you don't talk about yourself, you still push your brother Lin." Sister Feng hurriedly pleaded guilty. .Mrs. Wang and others hurriedly ordered the servant girls to withdraw the fireworks.At this time, Baochai's eyes were red and swollen, and she hid behind people, fearing that someone would see her. When her eyes disappeared, she stepped forward and said, "Old lady, madam, although it was caused by firecrackers, something is wrong." Jiamu was surprised, Powerful eyes: "Go on." Baochai said: "Brother Lin and Sister Feng were setting off firecrackers, but there was nothing wrong with them. There are girls and boys watching around, so how could there be another firecracker all of a sudden? And it was on fire, and rushed straight to Brother Lin." When Jia Mu heard this, she was furious: "Good! The whole family has been murdered! Check it out for me, and make sure to find out the culprit." Mrs. Wang looked at Lin Hongming, Still in shock, after listening to Jia's mother's order, she quickly ordered Sister Feng to search.Lin Hongming glanced at Baochai strangely, and said dissuadingly, "It's not so strange, it's just a coincidence. Grandma has been tired for a day, and she was frightened again. It's time to rest." Mother Jia didn't agree.Lin Hongming persuaded again: "If grandma gets sick from exhaustion, wouldn't it be Hongming's fault? At that time Hongming will die." The crowd followed suit, and Jia's mother gave up and ordered to investigate tomorrow.

The crowd dispersed for a while, and Lin Hongming sent Daiyu back to the Xiaoxiang Hall to appease her, and then went to the Hengwu Courtyard.When he entered the room, he saw Baochai wiping tears at the window. Lin Hongming bowed and saluted: "Sister Bao!" Baochai hurriedly wiped away his tears and said with a smile, "Brother Lin is frightened, why don't you go to rest?" Lin Hongming saluted again: "Thank you for your frank help about today's matter." Baochai's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she said, "I'm just thinking about rarity, so I said it." After finishing speaking, he ordered Ying'er to serve tea.Lin Hongming thanked him, sat down and said, "I know that what happened today has disobeyed my sister's kindness. It's just that I have my own thoughts. Think about it, my sister, since this person dares to do this, he must have made perfect preparations. If we wantonly The search will definitely scare the snake away, and it will be even more difficult to find the murderer when he is hidden." Baochai felt relieved when he heard this.Lin Hongming said again: "I have one more thing to ask my sister this time." Baochai asked him to speak.Lin Hongming said: "I know that Sister Bao is thoughtful and has a deep heart, which is the most strategic. If Sister Bao is willing to help, the murderer will have no chance to escape." Baochai heard him affirming herself, and she was secretly happy: "How can I help? " Lin Hongming said: "I will go back to the house tomorrow. My sister only sent someone to say that I was frightened and caught a cold. .” Baochai looked at Lin Hongming and smiled slightly.

The next day, Lin Hongming suddenly fainted while on duty. His colleagues didn't know what to say. His Majesty went to visit him personally and saw that his face was flushed, his forehead was sweating profusely, his whole body was cold, and he was unconscious.The imperial doctor was recruited to go there, take the pulse and observe the phase, prescribe prescriptions and boil medicines, but there was no improvement. The benevolent kindness of the saint ordered him to cultivate for seven days.Unexpectedly, there were rumors in the Rongguo Mansion, saying that Lin Erye was seriously ill and would die soon, so everyone went to visit him in fright, and saw him lying ill on the couch with his eyes closed, his face was sallow, and he couldn't drink any water. , howling.Daiyu's grief and anger were unbearable for a while, and she passed out after crying several times. Fortunately, Tanchun and other sisters took care of her.At this special moment, Qianqing and Yaqi didn't know where to go, which made people really upset. Jia Lian and Sister Feng had to send people to greet them every day. Baochai invited his brother to find the best medicine and take care of it carefully.On this day, Lin Hongming's health improved a little, and half a bowl of porridge could go down. Everyone comforted him and went back to the mansion, leaving only Jia Lian to look after him.When Shi Xiangyun heard about this, he came to Lin's mansion to visit. Because it was inconvenient for men, he invited Daiyu to go to Fanghu Shengjing.As soon as I walked to Jin Yuxuan, I saw that there was no servant in the room, only a beautiful woman sitting beside the bed doing embroidery.Looking carefully, it turned out to be Baochai. Daiyu pursed her lips and snickered, and invited Xiangyun to take a look. Sister Qi is back, what are you discussing with Qianqing in the front hall? Let's go and have a look." Daiyu curled her lips and was dragged away reluctantly by Xiangyun.

Yaqi came with a small cloth bag, met Baochai and said, "Let the second master know how the girl does her work, and we will have a good meal." Baochai put down her embroidery work and said, " I saw a pair of embroidery lying here, saw the delicate needlework and bright workmanship, and became addicted, so I picked it up and started to embroider. Such a good job must be my sister's handicraft." Yaqi laughed and said: "It's just a small skill. How dare you show off in front of the girl. Just now, I saw my girl and Miss Yun went out to Fanghu Shengjing together, haven't they seen the girl before?" Baochai was startled when he heard this, and suddenly felt his face turn red, so he asked Said: "Did they say anything?" Yaqi said with a smile: "Nothing, just asking about the second master's condition. But my girl often jokes with me." Baochai took Yaqi's hand, meaning It was joking, but also intended to explore: "Sister Lin is not joking with you. In the Lin mansion, when it comes to the friendship with Brother Lin, there is no longer any sister Yaqi who can be singled out in the whole mansion." Yaqi smiled and said: " The girl made fun of me! The second master has treated me with such kindness as a mountain, and we can only reciprocate wholeheartedly, so we dare not think about it. Besides, my second master is different from others. Although he is already a court doctor at a young age, he never goes to Huajie and Liuxiang. Don't talk about listening to music, buying and laughing, it seems to be sixteen, but there is not even a housekeeper, I shouldn't say this logically, but the master has repeatedly asked, so I have to be cheeky to persuade, or accept one, or Whether to buy one or hire one, the second master would scold angrily every time he heard it, and after a long time, we also knew his temper, so we rarely persuaded him, I think the master will definitely think about it." Baochai felt even more in his heart when he heard this. Overjoyed, he said, "Which one of the masters is not a three-bedroom and five-concubine brother, Brother Lin is really clean." They talked about Baochai and went.

It wasn't until dusk that Lin Hongming woke up groggy. Yaqi helped him wash his face, and reported: "The second master also said that he was pretending to be sick, but who knew he was really sick. It made us worry." Lin Hongming smiled and said: "Fake illness I can only hide it from some stupid people, how can the sage say it? I have been ill for a few days, have you found out?" Yaqi said: "Speaking of it, it is also the root of the disaster planted by the second master himself. It is Aunt Zhao's mastermind, her brother With the help of Zhao Guoji, he bought off the servants in the mansion. It was rumored in the Rong Mansion that the second master was about to leave, and Aunt Zhao seemed to be happy, and discussed with her brother Zhao Guoji to ask the master to come back to the side courtyard." Lin Hongming sneered. Said: "If you do many injustices, you will kill yourself! She wants to die by herself, and I can't do it." Yaqi asked: "What should we do?" Lin Hongming said: "Since the evidence is complete, I will hand it over to the third sister. Let's do it." Yaqi was dissatisfied: "She almost killed the second master, so she is cheap?" Lin Hongming said: "Otherwise, what can I do? I don't want to see the face of the second uncle, but also the face of the third sister. I am here Thinking, if the third sister understands the general situation and thinks clearly, she will not be favoritism. On the contrary, the second uncle may be reluctant to do it because of the old relationship." Yaqi said: "This is how the Rongfu became corrupt from the inside." Lin Hongming said again Ask: "What's going on in the mansion recently? How is my sister?" Yaqi said: "The girl must be worried to death, she fainted after crying. If it wasn't for the persuasion of the girls, she might fall ill again. "Lin Hongming's eyes softened: "My sister is a true temperament. Let's take care of the people below, don't let my sister cry out." Yaqi smiled and said: "I have already ordered you to go down." Lin Hongming nodded "That's good. Is there anything else going on in the mansion these few days?" Yaqi said: "Except for the two visits by the eunuch ordered by the sage, and the visits by his colleagues in the court, Sanye Yan comes every day. "Lin Hongming laughed and said: "I know you can't stop him. It's fine, I'm fine now, you go to Jia's mansion and let me know, tomorrow I will go to pay my respects to my ancestors." Yaqi hurriedly agreed.
