Clear water and jade in the Red Chamber

As long as you know it, it’s good to know it in your heart. "As he said, he ordered the maid Qingyan to take people out, leaving only Xueyan.

"Sister, it doesn't matter if you say it, Daiyu is all ears." Daiyu's heart twitched when she heard the words, and she had a premonition that this would not be good news.

"Sister, it seems that there are still some days before you arrive in Beijing. The old lady of the Jia family has already sent a letter to Jiangnan to propose marriage for my sister to that Jia Baoyu." Li Yang said.

"Propose marriage!" Daiyu was stunned, she wanted to marry Baoyu, how could this be possible! "Daddy won't agree!" As for Lin Ruhai, as a daughter, she knows very well. Don't say that Lin Ruhai has never met Baoyu, and she will never agree. A dude who knows how to adjust fat and make fans.

"No, even Uncle Lin replied and refused, and brought you a letter. He took the dry road and sent it to Beijing day and night, and brought it back. Old lady Jia wrote back, saying that he would keep you. Stay here for a few years before going back." Li Yang patted Daiyu's hand: "Uncle Lin immediately used the imperial court's war pigeon to send a letter to my father, please take care of me, my mother ordered someone to inquire about the date of your arrival in Beijing, and arranged I gave you a gift, and then Uncle Lin’s letters to you came to nothing. My mother felt that it was urgent, so she took me there to read. I’ve been watching my sister come to Beijing for a few months, but have you ever received a letter from Uncle Lin? ?”

"No...never..." Daiyu was dumbfounded.

"No way, Uncle Lin explained the reason to Dad in the letter at that time. He guessed that the old lady of Jia's family was behind it and asked Mother and I to find an opportunity to remind you. He wanted to come to pick him up in person, but suddenly there was an emergency for salt. Shi Yanyun's censor asked for leave, and he had to go through the court. When the Jia family found out, they might have some bad ideas. Originally, we didn't want people to know the friendship between our two families, but it was about my sister's safety, and Uncle Lin couldn't care less After so many, I sent the letter here, entrusting your mother to tell you to stay away from Jia Baoyu, don't let them make a fuss, and I will definitely pick you up after the new year, after reading the letter, my mother and I will know the inside story!"

"Why did the old lady hide it from me? Why did you force me to stay in Beijing!" Daiyu suddenly felt dizzy, her eyes were wet with tears, and she leaned on the chair weakly.Grandma, the person who calls her heart and soul all day long, would she really do this?She originally came to Beijing to visit her mother to do her filial piety, but she was detained in Jia's house, and she was not even allowed to see her father's letter!Could it be that she should die in Jia's house!

"Think about it, if the old lady of the Jia family has made up her mind to match you with that Baoyu, but Uncle Lin disagrees, she naturally hopes that you will get along with each other day and night and make love for a long time. If the daughter is determined, you will be the only one in the Lin family. Father will not object." Li Yang said: "When I went to see you that day, I found out that Jia Baoyu actually lives outside Bisha Pavilion, just a yard away, can't you see that?"

"I..." Daiyu's mind was completely confused, and tears fell in strings.It turned out that my grandmother had this kind of thought in mind for her kindness!Thinking about it, the second aunt was eager to leave quickly, but the old lady was afraid to leave by herself.How did the daughter of the Lin family want the Jia family to be the master!There is only one daughter's family alone, so how can I go if I want to.

"Then, what should I do..." Daiyu was originally exquisite, but now she was in a mess, suddenly at a loss, and her heart was cold.Alone outside, at this moment, there was a feeling of being sold.

"Sister, don't worry. Uncle Lin said that Xueyan is capable of martial arts. I think she is safe." Li Yang comforted: "Don't be sad for those people. I have heard the Jia family's criticism, and everyone is like that. It’s impossible to expect them to cherish you as the daughter of a girl who married far away, it’s impossible to expect them to cherish you.”

"But, why do you have to..." Daiyu cried out panting, "You still keep it from me like this."

"Oh, that's not clear. Although I hope that my younger sister will take a fancy to which brother of mine, she will be my sister-in-law in the future, but I know that there is no need to force anything. Now I just want to send you back to the South safely. If there is a destiny, I will still come to my house in the future. Come!" Seeing Daiyu's grief, Li Yang said jokingly.

"Nonsense, which one is going to... be your sister-in-law. The Jia family bullied me, and my sister bullied me too." Daiyu turned around and continued crying, crying until Liyang's heart broke.She would rather see a man cry than a woman cry.

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong, it's okay, sister, don't cry and break your body." Seeing that she was really anxious, Li Yang didn't dare to say any more, and only softly comforted her: "Now that I'm home, I don't need to think about where, say No, I can still receive a letter from Uncle Lin!"

"Really!" Daiyu heard that there would be a letter, so she stopped crying immediately and only sobbed.

"No, my sister doesn't know that the pigeons of the imperial court are very powerful. They go back and forth once, and it won't take long!" Li Yang explained, clapping her hand.

"That's good! That's good..." No matter what, Daiyu finally got the news from her father. She was both happy and sad. She would rather hope that the old lady's insistence on marrying her into Jia's family was due to Jia Min's longing, not for other reasons. .But filial piety belongs to filial piety, this is absolutely impossible!But how sure is this hope, she suddenly didn't know.

Not long after, Mrs. Mo came over after finishing her work. Seeing Daiyu crying, she knew that Li Yang must have told her the inside story. The mother and daughter comforted her for a while, and then thought that Lin Ruhai would come to pick her up after the new year. Unloading the burden in her heart, Daiyu laughed through tears.

Dark clouds, the sky is heavy, there is no wind, and the hearts of the people are depressed.

The so-called urgent matter of salt transport is actually that in the past two months, the official salt transport fleet in the south of the Yangtze River has been attacked by river bandits several times. Although the officers and soldiers fought back without losing a ship, they also sacrificed more than ten lives.As soon as the news came out, the government and the public were shocked. Since Lin Ruhai's rectification, there has never been such a bad incident. Therefore, the emperor Shui Qingchuan urgently ordered Lin Ruhai to investigate and deal with it with all his strength, and strengthen the inspection of salt transportation.Naturally, this kind of thing did not reach Daiyu's ears in the deep boudoir, or in other words, Daiyu deliberately kept Daiyu from knowing that whether it was Jia's family or Mo's family, it was not clear whether the motives were the same.

The prince of Beijing entered the palace in the afternoon, and went straight to the imperial study, where he continued to discuss with the emperor the affairs of the court and the important matter of salt transportation, which should not be trifled with.

"I always feel that these few attacks are very unreasonable." With the mask blocked and the lineup invisible, Beijing Jing Wang Shuirong held the memorial, carefully looked at the direction map of the Yan Canal, and judged: "It is not easy to evacuate in winter. The actions these few times are not focused on taking salt, but seem to be deliberately disturbing the line of sight."

"What the emperor said is very true. If you talk about river robbers, in the past few years, several larger groups have been secretly dismantled by Mr. Lin. This season, when unofficial salt is being transported in large quantities, even if you get it, it's no big deal. Harvest, why bother to attract the attention of the court?" Shui Qingchuan nodded: "It's unreasonable."

"First of all, we must appease the people. There is still more than a month to go before the new year. During the new year, it is easy to disturb people's hearts. Even the search must not be publicized. It must be delayed until the new year. During this period, pay attention to vigilance, especially Mr. Lin Being on the cusp of the storm, one must guard against it." Shui Rong said.

Shui Qingchuan said, "Yes... something happened at this time..." Then he looked narrowly at Shui Rong and said, "Don't worry about Mr. Lin, the father of the emperor's savior, how dare I let him have trouble!"

Shui Rong didn't say a word, and he couldn't see his expression under the mask, he was probably staring at his younger brother.

"Does the Emperor know about the story of "The Revenge of the Evil World" circulating in the capital a few days ago?" Shui Qingchuan said with a smile: "I heard that I have contacted the daughter-in-law of the Jia family? Let's find someone to come into the palace to talk about it tomorrow." Let me have fun!"

"It's not Li Yang's idea, I'm just helping out." Shui Rong cleared his throat, seeming to hold back a smile.

"In this way, isn't it aimed directly at the Grand Master's Mansion?" Shui Qingchuan said: "Brother Huang is also messing around with Li Yang like this, but the Jia family ignored Li Yang's hanging beads for nothing, no wonder she is so angry. "

"Since I have intervened, naturally I won't leave anything behind." Shui Rong was full of confidence.Dare to bully his savior, this can be regarded as a small punishment, if it happens again, there will be no mercy!

"Report to the emperor, the fourth princess asks to see you!" The eunuch at the door preached.

"Xuan." Shui Qingchuan sat back on the dragon chair.

"Yes! Xuan..." Dai Quan sent a message.

"The Fourth Princess Xuan has an audience..."

Not long after, the door of the imperial study room was opened, and a woman in palace attire entered slowly, followed by four court ladies who saluted the emperor, and then waited outside the door.

"Fengxiu has met the emperor, and the eldest brother!" This woman has an oval face, crouching silkworm eyes, regular makeup, and royal genes. Although she is not beautiful, she is also very delicate. She is the daughter of Concubine Zhuangde.The former emperor had more than ten heirs, except for the two sons and one daughter born to the empress, the next one is the daughter of the concubine De, the fourth princess Fengxiu who is the most favored.

"Get up quickly." Shui Qingchuan stretched out her hand to signal: "Sit down."

"Yes!" Fengxiu was used to the big emperor's silence, and sat on the chair next to her.

"After the new year, the fourth imperial sister will leave the cabinet. I am busy with government affairs all day long, and I have neglected to care about the imperial sister lately..." Shui Qingchuan also likes Fengxiu, since her younger sister Shuning married to Qiyue Kingdom , he has always loved Fengxiu very much.

"The emperor worries about the labor for the country, and Fengxiu can't share it, so how can he blame the emperor's brother." Fengxiu smiled dignifiedly.There are no women in the palace who are simple-minded, even if they are favored, they dare not show joy. As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, this is the deepest truth.

"Fengxiu came to see me today, what's the reason?" Shui Qingchuan asked kindly: "If you have any request, just ask, I'll do it!"

"If you go back to the emperor, Fengxiu chose a companion called Jia Yuanchun a few years ago. He is a little older, and he is not suitable for a concubine to accept a concubine.
