Clear water and jade in the Red Chamber

To lose her temper is to want to lose her temper. The past half a year has driven her to go crazy, and discovering her mother's secret made her heart ache even more, and she couldn't control the pain.

"Good, good, not fragrant, not fragrant!" Mo Xiao knew that the pressure in her heart was too great, she had faced intrigue in Jia's house for a long time, and now even the last idea of ​​family affection that was worth entrusting was blown away by the wind, and it was not as good as Ji's. The girl, after experiencing the loss of her mother, traveling long distances, losing contact with her father, and finally her grandmother's hypocrisy was exposed... She is not Li Yang's straightforward temper.

Mo Xiao took the phoenix hairpin and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't know where the fragrance was. Suddenly, he had an idea and asked the little girl outside to bring a basin of water and soak it in it.He said gently: "It doesn't smell any more, is Yu'er satisfied?"

After all, she is a well-bred girl, the slight fluctuation of the water disturbed her sight, Daiyu suddenly woke up, aware of her gaffe.After a while of silence, he regained his composure, sighed, and asked, "Second brother, was I rude just now..."

"It doesn't matter, whoever let it offend Yu'er, I'll take it out and bury it in the soil later, so Yu'er won't be upset if she can't see it." Mo Xiao smiled and said: "It's all the fault of this chap, if you insist on Let it pay you an apology!"

"I..." Daiyu smiled embarrassingly: "It's just a phoenix hairpin. I was so confused that I did such a thing."

"Yu'er has been terrified for a long time, and has trouble sleeping and eating. After all, she is bored in her heart. It's good to vent it out. If you are in a bad mood later, you must tell me, it's easy to get sick if you hold it in your heart." Mo Xiao comforted.

"Whoever wants to tell you, so what if I tell you." Daiyu turned around and sat down, fiddling with the things on the table by herself.

"Then you can beat me to vent your anger. Look at Li Yang, beating the emperor all day long when he is upset is very effective, why don't you try it too?" Seeing her calm down, Mo Xiao also joked.

"My sister and the emperor are..." Daiyu suddenly covered her mouth and stopped talking.Mo Xiao smiled: "I called Chunxian to come in and help you go back to rest. I have to go to see my aunt tomorrow, but whenever Yu'er wants to vent her anger on me, it's fine."

"Second brother!" Daiyu stomped her feet, picked up her skirt and ran out. Seeing the girl coming out, Chunxian hurriedly coaxed her back to rest.

Seeing that Daiyu had finally vented some of the grievances in his heart, Mo Xiao let out a sigh of relief with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to grab the phoenix hairpin, ready to dry it and put it on the dressing table. Take a deep breath! ...

In the dark night, Mo Xiao's shadow stretched on the bluestone ground in the backyard, with a whistle, more than ten black armored guards appeared and knelt down in an instant.

"I want you to find out what's inside this hairpin, the sooner the better!"

"Yes!" The leader took it respectfully and led them away into the night.

"What can you find out?" Lin Ruhai flashed out of the darkness.

"I don't know, but with the ability of the black armored guard, at least I can know what the powder is." Mo Xiao said: "Maybe it's another secret, the phoenix hairpin is hollow, why?"

"I have asked someone to secretly take Madam Qi into the dungeon of the Salt Transportation Department overnight. She gave this thing." Lin Ruhai said: "I really regret it, I have never regretted it like this... If so, This thing is related to Min'er's illness, how can I see Yu'er..."

"Uncle Lin, don't worry, I don't know what it is, it's not too late to discuss it after the result." Mo Xiao said: "Just don't tell Yu'er about this, she is young and has already endured too much pain , or know less."

036 alert

"Exactly, I'm also worried..." Lin Ruhai said sadly: "This child has always been sensitive, and he is willing to keep everything in his heart. If he can't vent, it's not like he's going to be bored..."

"Don't bring up sad things these days, unless there is a result, even tell them slowly, and try to avoid unpleasant topics. I'll take her out for a walk some other day, let's relax." Mo Xiao sighed and said.

"Thank you, my lord..." Lin Ruhai cupped his hands, turned and left the backyard.After listening to Mo Xiao's narration, I knew that my daughter was too worried, especially for her mother, but I can't go on like this, if my daughter makes a mistake, I don't want to live...

Mo Xiao stood in the darkness and silence, but his mind was spinning fast. Just when he stretched out his hand to grab the phoenix hairpin, he suddenly saw black powder flowing out from the phoenix's eyes. It was very strange. When the water moved, the powder followed The water spread out, but after a while, new flow came out again, blackening the head of the phoenix hairpin. Presumably the hairpin was hollow, because water had soaked in, flushed the contents inside, and kept floating out.

This horrifying scene was very unusual, Shui Rong looked strange, and did not make any noise, but quietly took Lin Ruhai to have a look.The two of them observed and studied for a long time, but they didn't know what it was, they just held the phoenix hairpin in their hands, and they could still smell a scent.Puzzled, in the end, Shui Rong had no choice but to hand over the hairpin to the black armored guard to investigate, no matter what, he had to figure out what the black thing was.

In the early morning of the second day, the Lin family's carriage set off to the cemetery.

After Jia Lian paid a visit that day, she slept in Huajie for two consecutive days. When she got up early in the morning, she felt that it was not a big deal to not show up for a long time, so she adjusted her clothes and rode to the Lin residence, not wanting to be told that Lin Ruhai accompanied Daiyu to the Lin family cemetery. I went to the grave for Jia Min, and I wondered in my heart, why did I go to the grave at this time if it was not a festival or a sacrifice?Not daring to delay, he asked the direction of the cemetery and rode away.

The Lin family cemetery is located near the mountains and rivers, and the location is very good. You can see the tall archway from a long distance.Jia Lian came close, dismounted, casually threw the whip in his hand to the boy, and walked in front.

There is still a hundred feet away from the main entrance of the cemetery. In the stone shrines on both sides of the bluestone road, cigarettes are lingering, white candles are flickering, and some paper money is scattered. Occasionally, a few women and servants kneel in plain clothes and burn some ingots and papyrus.All this shows that the Lin family's father and daughter have arrived at the cemetery.

Seeing this, Jia Lian adjusted his robe and strode forward to go in.Not wanting to be stopped by the housekeeper of the Lin family, he cupped his hands and said, "Second Master Lian has invited you. The master and the girl are worshiping inside. Please wait for a while."

"Since I'm here, I'm going to visit my aunt's grave. I was in a hurry last time and couldn't do my best. This time I have to pay homage anyway." Jia Lian couldn't hear it, so he raised his legs and wanted to leave, but the housekeeper of the Lin family said nothing. Insist on stopping in front of him.

"Second Master Lian, this is the cemetery of the Lin family, and it is also a private garden. Outsiders have always been forbidden to enter. If there is any disrespect, please invite Second Master Haihan." The housekeeper gently cupped his fists, apologetic, but he refused to let Jia Lian in.

"My aunt is the wife of the Lin family, and I am her nephew, how can I become an outsider!" Jia Lian said displeased.

"Second Lord Lian, please forgive me!" The housekeeper refused at all, without giving any room for discussion.

"What are you, a slave! Even if my second master is in the capital, he still has some dignity, even a high-ranking official would have to give way. Besides, this nephew wants to kowtow to his aunt's grave, why not?" If you dare to talk to me again, be careful that I beat you!" A disgraceful servant beside Jia Lian saw that his master was blocked, so he stepped forward to teach him a lesson.

Jia Lian glanced contemptuously at the housekeeper of the Lin family, cleared his throat, and turned his hands away with an air of arrogance.However, his eyes glanced to the side inadvertently, his face suddenly fell down, his expression changed from haughty to angry, and he raised his hand and slapped the boy, scolding: "You bastard, you look down on others, how dare you stand in front of me?" Playing wild here!" Then he raised his leg and kicked over.

Jia Lian's face changed so quickly, and the series of actions made the boy half-witted, and fell to the ground, not knowing why he was beaten, he covered his face with one hand, and crawled all over the ground to avoid it.

Just as he was about to kick the second kick, Wei Ruolan's voice came from next to his ear: "Second Master Jia has such a temper, it would be inappropriate to make noise here." Wei Ruolan already knew that Jia Lian had seen it He changed his face very quickly, it was clearly a show for him, but it didn't expose it.

"Oh! Isn't this Mr. Wei! I'm being polite!" Jia Lian put on a smile, shook her sleeves and bowed deeply: "The slaves are not well-educated, and dare to attack the housekeeper of my aunt's house. I can't let it go ! If I disturb my aunt's sleep, I will be rebellious!"

"This cemetery is originally a private place. Master Lin and Miss Lin are still worshiping, so it's better not to disturb Qingjing!" Wei Ruolan said.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jia Lianzhao kicked the boy and cursed, "It's rare that the adults don't care about it, so get out!"

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, Second Master!" The boy didn't try to be nice today, but was beaten and scolded. He hurriedly thanked the two of them, and retreated not far away.

"Since it's a private garden, I think it's better for Second Master Jia and people with foreign surnames like me to wait here. Why don't we sit over there and chat for a while." Wei Ruolan smiled and stretched out her hand to invite. Several stone tables and stone benches.

"My lord is interested, I'd rather be respectful than obedient! My lord, please!" Compared with kowtowing to Jia Min's grave in the cemetery, Jia Lian was of course more willing to have a relationship with this first-class guard in front of the imperial court.You know, this is a popular person in front of the Holy One. He ran away for the Jia family, and he has been in trouble for many years. The only people who often come and go are just some shrimp soldiers and crab generals. The Jia family has no real position in the court, so it is difficult for him to have a pole. climb.If he climbed up to Wei Ruolan, wouldn't he have a way to reach the sky!

After pushing back and forth again and again, Jia Lian dared not go ahead and invited Wei Ruolan first.

Wiping the stone bench with his sleeve first, Jia Lian saw that he was sitting still, so he carefully sat beside him.Along the way, Jia Lian's carriage was always at the end of the line, and he couldn't reach Wei Ruolan during the day, let alone Wei Ruolan.
