The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

Half a month later, Yangzhou Wharf.

"Brother Jue." Seeing the dock slowly approaching, Lin Daiyu nervously called Jia Jue beside her.

After half a month of recuperation, her complexion is now much better than before. Although she can't help worrying and anxious, but with Jia Jue on the side to explain, her mood has always been quite stable.

However, when she was about to arrive, her mood still had some changes.

"It's okay, uncle is fine." Jia Jue smiled at her.

Seeing his smile, Lin Daiyu's heart settled down again, she nodded slightly, her eyes became much firmer.

Seeing this, Jia Jue smiled lightly. He raised his head and looked towards Yangzhou City, which was getting closer and closer. A gleam flashed in his eyes. Although he hadn't set foot on it yet, he already felt the killing spirit.

After a while, the boat slowly docked.

Jia Jue brought Lin Daiyu and Zijuan to the pier.

The moment he stepped on the ground, he suddenly sensed dozens of eyes falling on him.

He smiled lightly, and took Lin Daiyu and Zijuan into the carriage that Qingyu had prepared in advance.

"drive!"

Amid Qingyu's coquettish scolding, the carriage moved slowly.

Jia Jue suddenly raised the curtains, but met the eyes of a shipper.

He saw the astonishment in this man's eyes, as well as the hostility that had not yet subsided.

"It's interesting."

He smiled and lowered the curtains.

After traveling for half an hour, the carriage arrived at the Yanzheng Yamen.

Jia Jue got out of the carriage and looked around. The passers-by and small vendors who were looking at this place all looked away one after another.

"From now on, I will protect Sister Lin every step of the way." Jia Jue approached Qingyu and whispered to her.

Qingyu quickly asked: "Then what about you?"

"It's okay, some youngsters can't hurt me." Jia Jue smiled lightly.

Qingyu glanced at him and nodded heavily.

After showing the documents to the guards at the gate, Jia Jue took Lin Daiyu to the backyard of the Yanzheng Yamen.

"Miss!"

As soon as he entered the yard, an old voice sounded.

Lin Daiyu followed the prestige, but saw an old woman with white hair speaking.

"Mother Gu!" Lin Daiyu exclaimed when she saw her.

This old woman is the companion of Lin Daiyu's mother, and has been taking care of the young and old in the Lin family for decades.

When the two women meet, they are full of sorrow and joy.

Gu Nai wiped her tears and brought Lin Daiyu to Lin Ruhai's bedroom.

And Jia Jue finally got to meet Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai is about forty years old, tall and tall, with an extremely elegant appearance.

However, at this time, he was lying on the bed, his face was sallow, and his breath was extremely weak.

Seeing Lin Ruhai like this, Lin Daiyu immediately burst into tears, choking with sobs.

Jia Jue asked Nanny Gu, "Where is the injury? What did the doctor say?"

"Master was stabbed in the chest by a gangster, hurting his lungs. The doctor applied medicine for him, bandaged the wound, and came to check on his injury every day." Gu Nanny replied.

Jia Jue nodded slightly, and asked again: "Did the doctor say when uncle would wake up?"

Gu Nuo wept and said: "This old slave also asked the same question, but the doctor only said that depending on the master's fortune, maybe it will be three or five days, maybe it will be..."

She didn't say what she said next, but everyone could hear it. Lin Ruhai might never wake up.

Lin Daiyu burst into tears when she heard the words.

"Grandma Gu, what happened, why did uncle get seriously injured?" Jia Jue asked again.

Gu Nai wiped away her tears and recalled: "That night, the master was reading in the study, and the old slave was helping the master prepare snacks and tea in the kitchen. Just when the old slave prepared the tea and was about to serve the master, but I suddenly heard the master's exclamation. The old slave hurried over, but saw that the master had already fallen to the ground, covered in blood."

Jia Jue frowned slightly: "Have you ever seen the murderer?"

Gu Momo shook her head: "No."

"How long did it take from when you heard your uncle's voice to when you came to the study?"

Gu Nummies thought about it for a while: "It's less than half a moment."

Jia Jue nodded slowly when he heard the words. A moment was about 15 minutes, less than half a moment, that is, a few minutes, which was enough time for the assassin to escape.

"Did uncle have any troubles with anyone these days?"

Gu Momo quickly shook her head: "Master is kind to others, has an outstanding official reputation, and has never had any enmity with others."

Jia Jue pondered for a while: "Then what's unusual about my uncle recently?"

Gu Momo still shook her head: "Master, everything is as usual."

Jia Jue nodded, glanced at Qingyu, Qingyu immediately understood, and said to Nanny Gu:
"Grandma Gu, Third Master and Miss Lin are exhausted, please trouble Madam to prepare food and shelter."

"Okay! Third master, miss, this old servant will go and prepare." Gu Nai said to Jia Jue and Lin Daiyu, and left.

Seeing her leave, Jia Jue came to Lin Ruhai's side and felt his pulse.

The next moment, he suddenly frowned, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He thought for a while, took out a pair of glasses from his pocket, put them on, and looked at Lin Ruhai carefully.

After a while, he put away his glasses again, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Jue, how is father?" Lin Daiyu hurriedly asked upon seeing this.

Jia Jue came back to his senses and said, "Although my uncle was seriously injured, he is still alive. Sister Lin should be by my uncle's side these days, talking to him often, encouraging him, and helping my uncle wake up."

Lin Daiyu wiped away her tears, nodded heavily, and hurriedly came to Lin Ruhai's side, talking to him in a low voice.

Seeing this, Jia Jue explained a few words to Qingyu, walked out of the house, and came to the courtyard.

At this time, Nanny Gu was cleaning up the house with several old servants, he did not disturb, but came to Lin Ruhai's study.

The collection of books in Lin Ruhai's study is extremely rich, and these books have a common characteristic, that is:

old.

These books are very old, and many of them are even damaged.

This is not to say that Lin Ruhai did not preserve it well, but that he often used it to look through it, and there was natural wear and tear.

Jia Jue browsed around Lin Ruhai's bookshelf.

Just when he was about to leave, his footsteps suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on a book.

There is nothing unusual about this book alone, but it is a bit awkward when placed in Lin Ruhai's study.

Because it is too new, compared with these old books, it looks out of place.

He pulled out the book, but saw on the cover it said: Jinling Landscape.

He flipped through it casually, but saw that it was a travel journal, which recorded the landscape and scenic spots in Jinling Province, but there was nothing special about it.

Looking at this book, Jia Jue fell into deep thought.

At this time, the voice of Gu Nai suddenly sounded outside the room:
"Third Master, someone outside sent you a post."

The corners of Jia Jue's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this, is it finally here?Who is the one?
He walked out the door, took the post in the hands of the Gu Nunnies, opened it, and saw a short sentence written on it:
When I heard that Mr. Yu was coming to Yangzhou, I couldn't help but invite Mr. Yu to the "Horse Selection Conference".

Peony worships.

A light flashed in Jia Jue's eyes when he heard this, he naturally knew who Peony was.

And this "Horse Selection Conference" did not choose ordinary horses, but:

Yangzhou skinny horse.
