Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

However, it is said that the person from Shujun Wangfu who came to Linfu to deliver the post was a woman named Cui.The Lin family never neglected her, and asked someone to lead her into the Chuihua Gate, and went straight to Jia Min's courtyard.

Qin's mother came out to urge water, and the little girl who led Mrs. Cui in came forward and said, "Hello, Ma'am, is your wife in the room?"

"I'm in the house." Qin's mother had sharp eyes, saw Mrs. Cui behind her, and said, "Which mansion is it from?"

"It was sent by Shujun Wangfu to deliver the post."

"I'm sorry." Qin's mother stepped forward to salute Mrs. Cui, and said with a smile: "Nurse, it's an unlucky time for you to come, just in time for our wife to talk to the uncle, just wait a moment." After finishing speaking, she ordered the girl to lead her out In the middle of the day, he ordered a little girl to report in.

Lin Jue went to the house after a while, Qin's mother opened the curtain and came out, and said to Granny Cui, "Madam, call in."

Granny Cui put down the teacup in her hand and got up, followed Mother Qin in.

The room is warm and cozy. There is a couch with pineapple flower wood and crane patterns in front of it. There is a beautiful woman sitting on it. She has a dignified manner and a gentle complexion. It is Jia Min.

Mrs. Cui came forward to say hello, and said: "Your maidservant Cui Wang, please greet my wife."

"You don't have to be polite." Jia Min ordered Chen Yu to help her up, and told her to sit down.

Grandma Cui didn't dare at first, but gave way for a while, seeing that Jia Min insisted on this, she sat down as promised. "Thank you ma'am."

Jia Min laughed and said: "Our master has been promoted, logically I should go to visit your county concubine. It's just a coincidence that the house was only cleaned up recently, and I was sick again, so I couldn't go there. I thought about waiting for my body to stabilize. Let’s bring this up again. Please don’t blame me, princess princess.”

"Madam. Madam and Master Lin have worked hard all the way, and our county concubine knows it." Knowing that she is not being polite, Mrs. Cui said, "Now is the time when chrysanthemums are blooming, and the princess of the county loves chrysanthemums the most. I heard that the chrysanthemums in Lin's mansion are blooming." Well done, I thought about it and wanted to come and have a look. I was afraid of being abrupt, so I ordered my servants to send me invitations."

With that said, he took out a greeting card from his bosom and handed it to Chen Yu.Chen Yu took it and brought it to Jia Min.

Jia Min picked it up and looked at it for a while, "The concubine of the county is really polite..." Then he ordered Chen Yu to prepare a pen and paper for writing a reply.While writing, she asked Mrs. Cui what the princess of the county likes to use and what she doesn't like to use.

Mrs. Cui said one by one, and finally said: "The princess of the county said, it's just a normal walk, don't need to bother."

"It's not a troublesome thing, I just want to take advantage of this excitement."

Chen Yu sent the reply to Granny Cui, and she carefully accepted it.After talking to Jia Min again, Shan Liang's family took him out carefully.

Just as Mrs. Cui left the courtyard, she bumped into Lin Daiyu holding a flower rabbit and coming back with a snow sparrow and snow geese.Seeing her delicate features and cute Yuxue, Mrs. Cui couldn't help but look at her again.Lin Daiyu looked back, Shan Liang's family knew that Daiyu never liked to see strangers, and she had a strange temper, so she hurriedly pulled Granny Cui to her side, and said respectfully, "Greetings, Miss."

Lin Daiyu nodded casually, and went in with the rabbit in her arms.

Granny Cui turned her head to look, and praised directly: "You are so handsome, you can tell that she is a beauty since she was a child, she looks like Mrs. Lin."

"Why not, our girls have many advantages, so what's a good birth?" Shan Liangjia said with a smile, "It's that heart, I don't know how God made it, but it was born with an exquisite crystal heart, it's really amazing You can't guess what she's thinking."

With that said, it's no problem to send Mrs. Cui out.

This side of Daiyu entered the room, showed Jia Min the rabbit, and asked, "Where did brother go?"

"He is a person who wants to read and write, so he should go back to the house. Is it possible to sit here and wait to see your rabbit?" He stretched out his hand and nodded between Daiyu's eyebrows: "You are growing up too. Look like a big sister, you can no longer play willful and petty temper, and you can't cling to your brother like this."

Daiyu sat on one side and said, "I don't like to play petty temper."

Jia Min shook his head and said nothing more.Lin Jue hadn't returned home until dinner time, so Jia Min, Lin Hai and Daiyu ate dinner and tea, and they all went to the inner room to talk.

Lin Hai and Jia Min sat opposite each other on the kang, and Lin Daiyu sat next to Jia Min and read a book.After a while, I couldn't hold it anymore, and my eyes were dull.Jia Min hurriedly ordered the nurse to take Daiyu to the Bisha closet to resettle, and now only the husband and wife were left.

"Is everything going well in the mansion today?" Lin Hai was most afraid that she would be worried, and she is a person who does everything by herself and refuses to be vague, so she asked this question.

"All good." After a pause, he said: "Today, the concubine of Shu County Prince's Mansion sent a woman to deliver the invitation. I saw that the wording was acceptable, so I invited her to come to the mansion in three days to get together."

"Prince Shujun's Mansion?" Lin Hai held his tea and pondered for a moment, his eyes fixed in doubt.

Seeing this, Jia Min feared that something was wrong: "What's wrong?"

Lin Hai shook his head: "I'm afraid it has something to do with the former prince. King Shu is a member of the former prince's lineage. Because he was involved in the witchcraft case, he was stripped of his title and exiled to a bitter cold place. It took the past two years to wash away his grievances and be able to Reply. The emperor ordered me to thoroughly investigate the case of the former crown prince's death. This must be the reason why the concubine of Shu County came to send the invitation."

Back then, the witchcraft case was very involved. Although the former crown prince was not involved in the case, he was affected after all. Since then, he has been confined to the East Palace.After half a year, he died of a sudden illness.The emperor was furious, and ordered the imperial hospital to send the former prince's pulse case. After many investigations, he failed to find out.The empress couldn't restrain her grief, it was because of this incident that the emperor took pity on the empress and treated her with great respect these years.

The case suddenly happened that day, Lin Hai and Jia Min were still in Yangzhou, so it was not involved, and the details were unknown.Now the matter of the crown prince's death revealed doubts, and it was through this that the witchcraft case was brought up again, but it was also full of doubts.

Jia Min's face darkened slightly, "The witchcraft case is aimed at the former prince?"

"Don't say it." Lin Hai took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "It's useless to guess, we still have to find out the evidence."

"I'm not afraid of these bright and dark ones, but I'm afraid that the son of that person will be in power, which makes people panic." She stretched out her finger in the direction, "For a person like her, the pain in the past is condensed in my heart, I'm afraid it will become a reality." today's hatred."

"Madam don't need to worry about these." He reached out and took Jia Min's hand.Looking at her slightly rounded face due to pregnancy, she said softly, "There are me and Zijing."

She smiled and said: "With the master here, I am naturally not afraid of these things."

The lights and candles are flickering, and the room is full of euphemism.

Lin Jue returned to Lin's mansion after dinner in the other courtyard, King He Rui wanted to see him off, but he refused, and just went back in the car he came from.King He Rui couldn't compete with him, so he had to send someone to follow him, and he must see him enter the mansion before returning.

After watching Lin Jue go, King He Rui turned back to his room.

After all, I didn't sleep all night last night. Although I made up this morning, I still feel tired.When he got back to his room, he ordered hot water to wash up. Taking advantage of the time to change his clothes, he asked Xin Fu, "I changed my clothes just now, what did Zijing tell you?"

Xin Fu untied his belt, carefully put it into the wooden tray held by the little girl behind him, opened up all the sachets and jade pendants, and then said about the letter from Lin Jue yesterday: "...for some reason, today When I came back, I ordered my maidservant to fetch it, ordered the cage to be put on a brazier, and burned it inside. The maidservant’s eyes were wrong, and she had already thrown it down, only to see two lines of writing, "Even if I don’t come, Zining will not go.”

King He Rui's heart was moved, he didn't say a word, he ordered Xin Fu to go out after the outer clothes were removed.

"Xin..." Gan Qing was about to speak, but Xin Fu waved her hand to stop her.

"We don't need to understand these things, and we can't, understand."

Gan Qing had no choice but to swallow all the words that followed, and went out with the clothes to be washed.Xin Fu found a stool and sat down. After thinking for a while, she said to Bu Gu: "I'll go to Bu Qu's sister. If the prince asks, he will say that I ate too much today and I'm looking for hawthorn balls."

"Yes."

At this time, the night wind was cool, Xin Fu just came out of the house, and shivered from the cold, and couldn't help wrapping her clothes tightly.After leaving the yard, we walked another way, and then walked around a long corridor. This is Buqu's yard.

Xin Fu knocked on the door: "Sister, are you asleep? Is it me?"

"Here we come." Bu Qu replied inside, and came to open the door not long after.Sure enough, he has fallen asleep, his clothes have been removed, and he only wears outer clothes.He smiled and said, "What a narrow girl, you came just after I fell asleep."

"I was taught by my sister. If you have anything to say, just come to my sister." Xin Fu pursed her lips and smiled and entered the door. Fearing that Buqu would be cold, she hurriedly told her to lie down on the bed, and found a place to sit on the bed.

Bu Qu went to shake her hand, and shouted: "Why are your hands so cold? You are now a half-girl in the palace, why are you still so ignorant? When you come out at night, you don't wear a cloak."

Xin Fu smiled wryly: "Sister, I'm so flustered, I can't think of anything else."

As soon as these words came out, Bu Qu was startled.She hurriedly sat up: "Why, what's wrong with the prince?"

"No." Xin Fu shook his head, his eyes sparkled, two tears rolled down his cheeks: "Sister, Manager Xing told me today that Miss Su is gone."

"Miss Su... Cousin girl..." Bu Qu murmured, leaned back, but didn't see her move, opened his eyes, tears rolled down. "I still remember that when I was serving Miss Biao, she was always thinking about Miss Su, and she made a lot of clothes and shoes."

Xin Fu took out a handkerchief to wipe away tears: "My cousin is such a good person, but she has such a hard life. In the past, she always said that it would be good to get through this period. Who would have thought that Miss Su would not be able to survive. These things I haven't had any more children in the past year, and I have been looking for them wholeheartedly. Sister, you don't know, the prince sent me to the county prince's mansion some time ago to deliver things. I met the girl who was tidying up the yard and said that the embroidery building in the north is good, and the eldest girl will be back soon. , everything has to be prepared, how did you expect it to look like today?"

"Miss Biao doesn't know how sad she is, and she doesn't know what Miss Su suffered outside. She didn't even meet her parents, so she left in such a hurry."

The two looked at each other with tears in their eyes, and cried again for it.The howling wind outside the house added to the choking.
