[Red Mansion] Princess Ji

Staring at the letter on the table, there were not many words on the letter, but along with the letter came a lot of things, each piece of paper was written in black and white how much property Lin Ruhai had left back then.

He didn't know the number in it before, and thought that Jia's mansion still had a sliver of conscience, but now it seems that Jia's mansion is really a nest of snakes and rats, with insufficient hearts.

"Wang, lord?"

"I'm going to the Lin Mansion."

"What! There was a rule before, you can't see each other one month before getting married, this—"

Dongfu scratched his head and walked forward, looking at Ji Yuanlan, "My lord, this is against the rules. If the princess finds out about this, I will definitely blame you again."

"Mother won't blame me. Besides, it's only the sixth day of the junior high today. If I come back a few hours ago, it's a violation of the rules." Ji Yuanlan put away the letters on the table, glanced at Dongfu, "Ding case is back, you don't have to follow me today , you remember to supervise the people below to clean up."

Hearing this, Dongfu nodded, knowing that getting married would require a lot of work, even the door paint had to be repainted.

Ji Yuanlan took the letter and went out. As soon as he left the yard, he saw Ding An, who had just returned from an errand, raised his eyebrows and stepped forward, "Is the matter settled?"

"I met the little prince. The matter is settled, but where is the little prince going like this?" Ding An was the guard who stayed with Ji Yuanlan since he was a child. He is very skilled, but he has not been with Ji Yuanlan for most of the year. Around him, especially after Ji Yuanlan worked for the emperor, he seldom showed up.

"While walking, I said that you came back just in time, and there is something I need you to do."

"What can make you so anxious? It's about that girl from the Lin family again?" Ding An followed behind Ji Yuanlan, "I heard about your marriage before entering Beijing, and there was a lot of news about it. ——Do you want to go to the Lin family in such a hurry?"

"Exactly."

"Then I have to meet the future Princess Ji."

Ji Yuanlan smiled brightly, "I'll see you later, don't talk nonsense to annoy her, if you are in a hurry, I'll be in a hurry with you."

Ding An laughed, not even talking about it.

"It's just that the lord and the concubine haven't mentioned the matter of you building another mansion?" Ding An asked suddenly: "It stands to reason that you are old enough to start your own family. Why didn't the lord and the concubine mention it?"

"After we get married, I'll bring it up when I come back."

Ding An couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, seeing that Ji Yuanlan didn't mention anything else, he had no choice but not to ask.Originally, it was Ji Yuanlan's own business. He was talking too much, but he was overstepping.

Seeing Ji Yuanlan coming, the servant in front of Lin's mansion immediately stepped forward to meet him.

"Gu, I have seen the prince!"

"...Since when have you stuttered? Where is your adult?"

"If you go back to the prince, my lord is in the study, and I will lead the way."

"kindness."

Case Ding also heard a lot about Lin Wenjin. After all, Lin Wenjin's character and appearance are top-notch, and he was a blockbuster in the imperial examination. How could he not know.

But seeing Ji Yuanlan's attitude with his own eyes, he couldn't help being even more curious.

The people in the Lin family also really have some skills, not to mention making the people in the Wang family treat each other differently, they really value this family. He has never seen Ji Yuanlan care about anyone like this before.

"I'm so anxious to come here, the letter has arrived?" Seeing that Ji Yuanlan didn't care about his identity, Lin Wenjin put down his pen and stood up to meet him, "I guessed right by the look on your face."

"I saw that Jia's family has such a big appetite that they swallowed so much money." Ji Yuanlan handed the letter to Lin Wenjin and sat down, "If you ask me, this family's appetite is not ordinary, but it is also Indeed, it can be seen that Jia's mansion has really been struggling to make ends meet these years, which is similar to what I checked before, but Jia Zheng is still in Jiangxi, and Jia's mansion may have to investigate again."

"Where did the emperor speak?"

"You are shrewd, you know how to find out the emperor's tone from me." Ji Yuanlan laughed, "Don't worry, it's not your turn for the Imperial Academy to investigate this matter."

Hearing this, Lin Wenjin was not annoyed, and carefully looked at all the 'evidences', which were ironclad evidence that Jia's family swallowed Lin's family privately, but these might not be enough to make Jia's bow their heads. It would be great if there were witnesses.

"It's not about the Imperial Academy, I don't care about it, but last time you checked Jia's mansion, can you go again this time? Jia's mansion is afraid that it will avoid you for a while, afraid that you will go again .”

When I went back last time, it directly disturbed the affairs of Jia and Lin's family, and pulled Daiyu out of the doorways of Jia's house. If I go back this time, who knows what else will happen.

The people in Jia's house are not big-minded, they hold grudges.

"He's not afraid of me, but he won't go. It's because he's afraid of me that he will go, and he will show his feet when people panic." Ji Yuanlan said seriously: "Guess what, you go to check on the tone of that family first. , in the name of the official family, I went to investigate the contacts of Jia's mansion, and now the people who are in charge of Jia's mansion, and those who plotted against the Lin family, should they panic?"

so bad.

Lin Wenjin came to a conclusion in his heart, compared to this calculation, who could calculate Ji Yuanlan better than this calculation, but this calculation is not as insidious as those people in Jia's mansion.

"In your opinion, when will the net be closed?"

"It must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise I will take a lot less dowry." Ji Yuanlan made a joke that made Lin Wenjin roll his eyes - this person is not only smart, but also occasionally very difficult to beat.

Just as he was about to reply, he heard a voice from outside the door.

Outside the door, Chang Shun and Zijuan's voice came in, and they knew who was coming without even thinking about it.

"Third brother, um—" Daiyu was stunned for a moment when she saw Ji Yuanlan, and then she saw Ji Yuanlan smiling at herself and said, "Why is the prince here?"

"I came here after discussing some things with your brother. It's not a violation of the rules." Ji Yuanlan stood up to welcome her to sit down, and simply sat next to her, "Are you too busy?"

Seeing Ji Yuanlan like this, Lin Wenjin, who was still thinking about the privately embezzled property of the Lin family, looked helpless, so he took the letter and went back behind the desk to pretend he couldn't see it.

Come on, people are drunkards who don't care about drinking.

Hearing this, Daiyu shook her head and said with a broken smile: "I'm not tired, every day I let Madam Yan supervise me to go to bed early and get up early, even what to eat, and not allowed to eat too much, so as not to overwhelm the wedding dress in time. "

"That's not too hard."

Daiyu couldn't help laughing, "You said you came to discuss things with the third brother, but why did you talk to me instead? If someone else let you hang around like this, sooner or later you won't even find someone to drink."

"Isn't there still you?"

"Ahem, I said, don't pretend that I'm not here. Anyway, you haven't passed the door yet, so I'll let me kick you out." Lin Wenjin couldn't bear it anymore, and cleared his throat, "What are you going to do about this?"

The two of them never kept this matter from Daiyu. Daiyu was Lin Ruhai's only daughter and lived in Jia's house for so many years. No matter how they decided, they should have asked Daiyu what she meant.

But looking at the irrefutable evidence in front of her now, Daiyu might feel unavoidable for a while.

"Bring the letter." Ji Yuanlan stretched out his hand to Lin Wenjin. Lin Wenjin reluctantly handed the things to him. Ji Yuanlan took the things and looked at Daiyu with a begging look in his eyes—he didn't want to force Daiyu to read it or not.

"Don't worry, no matter what, I can accept it."

Stretching out her hand to take the letters from Ji Yuanlan, Daiyu sat there with her head lowered and flipped through them one by one, seeing the familiar handwriting and some mottled traces on them, only emotion remained in her heart.

She didn't want to mention this at first, but the attitudes of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng made her a little disappointed.

Knowing this, Mrs. Jia asked her to go back for what?In order for her to marry into the palace in the future and not forget her old love, and to win face for the Jia family again?

Then why don't you think about it, what did she owe to Jia's family to be ruined like this, even the 'dowry' that belonged to her is reluctant to return, even if she finds an excuse to treat it as her dowry, she can accept some.

"These do have my father's handwriting. I have some left by my father. I can recognize my father's handwriting." Daiyu put the letter on the low table and couldn't help laughing: "But are they willing?"

"If you don't want to, you have to be willing. There is still justice in the world, and I still have the law."

"Are you going to start with the government?"

Ji Yuanlan and Lin Wenjin looked at each other, Ji Yuanlan was busy taking the tea for Daiyu to try whether it was hot or not, Lin Wenjin was almost speechless.

Is it time for him to make a marriage?

"The last time I went back to Jia's mansion, that Miss Xue also asked about this matter. I just said, how to do this matter depends on them, not us. Different attitudes have different methods. If there is a trouble The official government, the Jia family can't stand the investigation."

In these big families, who doesn't have some handles in their hands, and those handles can be fatal at critical times.

What's more, if you really want to investigate you, any of those deeds will be uncovered, and the Jia family will be unable to get away, and they will be stained with fishy smell and will not please everyone.

"Brother, what do you mean, wait for the people over there to come to us by themselves?"

"If they are still sensible, they should come." Ji Yuanlan brought the tea to Daiyu's hand, "Have a sip of tea first, it's so hot outside? Why is your face red?"

Daiyu took the tea, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

She really doesn't know how Ji Yuanlan got this ability, "the preface doesn't match the postscript", sometimes it takes a reaction to understand.

"It's a bit hot, it's already May, can it be hot?"

"Don't worry, if you add more fire, people from Jia's mansion will come to your door."

"Just don't invite us to go. I'm really not used to that place. When I go back, I sat there and drank tea for almost two hours." Lin Wenjin said with a smile, "But don't say it, the cup set is pretty pretty."

It turned out that it was only Ji Yuanlan who was dishonest, but Lin Wenjin was also dishonest. No wonder they hit it off so well and hit it off right away.

The three sat in the study for a while, Ji Yuanlan should go back, just got up and remembered something, looked at Ding's case.

"Forget, the things are still on Ding's case, and I brought them back for you."

"kindness?"

"You haven't been in Nan Province for many years. It just so happened that Ding An came back from Suzhou and brought something with him."

"A piece of silk?"

Daiyu looked down at the box in her hand, and couldn't help but said: "It's true that I haven't seen it like this for many years. Although there is Suzhou embroidery in Beijing, the silkworms are different, and the silk they spit is also different."

"As long as you like it, I'll go back."

Seeing that Daiyu was happy, Ji Yuanlan moved closer and said, "We won't see each other again until a month later, so why don't you say anything you like."

Seeing Ji Yuanlan like this, Daiyu's eyes rolled wildly, and found that Lin Wenjin and Ding An both walked out the door with interest, their faces were hot, and they had nothing to do with Ji Yuanlan.

Really owed him.

"Whoever believes in your words, the rules can control you?" Daiyu said angrily, "When will these rules control you?"

Hearing this, the smile in Ji Yuanlan's eyes deepened, and Daiyu's ears felt hot when he saw it, so he hurriedly turned his eyes away and stepped back, and Ji Yuanlan held her hand just as he took a step back.

"Then I will have to trouble you a lot in the future."

"nonsense."
