What should I do when I meet my sister-in-law in Red Mansions?

After the funeral of the Feng family was over, the quiet years began. The Zhen manor stayed behind closed doors, everyone kept their breaths in a low voice, and the mourning began.

Although Shi Yin was also surprised by the complexity of Wu Yuanze's life experience, he thought that since the royal family had sent a nanny to guard him, he naturally didn't care about it. He felt a little happy for him but also felt sorry for him. With such a big twists and turns, I only hope that the future will be safe and smooth.

"Sir, if not, you can bring your younger sister to Beijing with me. I'm always a little worried where there are many nobles. If you are here, even if you have something, you can talk to someone. Besides, You are old and my sister is still young, so I don't trust you to stay here."

Although he said it casually, he was very nervous in his heart. No one knew. He said this after deliberating for a long time. Naturally, no one knew. I want to arouse Shi Yin's pity.

Although Shi Yin may not be able to hide his petty thoughts, but what he bet on is his unbearable heart.

Sure enough, Shi Yin glanced at the seemingly simple and honest disciple with a half-smile, noncommittal on the face, but not so calm in his heart.

For this disciple, he has put a lot of effort into it. Now seeing how pitiful he is, how can he not be moved at all?

However, he still has to think about moving his family to the north...

"Let me think about it again."

After pondering for a while, just when Wu Yuanze was about to be disappointed, Shi Yin said plainly.

Wu Yuanze hurriedly agreed, but at least he didn't refuse immediately, and finally kept a glimmer of hope.

After coming out of the study, Wu Yuanze stared at his wet palms, smiled self-deprecatingly, and then led the people back.

The Wu family seemed to be still the same, and there seemed to be many changes. Wu Yuanze listened to the left-behind people report the success of the shop and the income from the land, and he was a little careless.

Uncle found it, but he disappointed himself enough.There are no high-ranking officials as imagined, nor are they extremely rich.

It's just a servant of the Ministry of Industry. Although the grade is not low, it is far from what I imagined.

And even if Wu Yuanze was left behind by his sister, the Wu family uncle didn't mean to treat him differently.

After asking a few words indifferently, he dismissed him.There is no such thing as crying, revenge, and the like as imagined.

Uncle Wu's family is now married, married to the daughter of his mentor, and now he has a pair of sons and daughters.These are not difficult to inquire about. Wu Yuanze came to visit, but the uncle was not very enthusiastic, nor did he intend to let him visit his aunt.

Perhaps it was caused by a family accident, but he was a bit trembling, which was very boring. Wu Yuanze shook his head quickly when he heard that his uncle had no sincerity to keep a meal, saying that he had another appointment, and then resigned.The Wu family uncle didn't say any more, and just sent the person in charge to send him out.

Wu Yuanze couldn't tell whether he was mostly disappointed or relieved, and his mood was extremely complicated.This is also one of the reasons why he came back this time.

He always thought that he didn't really need the care of his relatives or friends, but he didn't think that after being treated so coldly by his uncle's family, he missed the days in Jiangnan more and more, and those idle and warm years in Zhen's mansion made people more and more fascinated.

Shi Yin can naturally see the depression in his eyebrows, he still knows the disciple's temper, something must have happened that he doesn't know, Shi Yin also feels embarrassed, this is related to the royal family, it is related to the former Jiangnan The rich Wu family, I am afraid that the inside story is not simple.

Shi Yin is getting old, so he doesn't have any other scruples, but he still has to worry about his daughter's future. He can't just involve Yinglian because of Yuanze's matter, although Wu Yuanze is almost the same as himself. son of...

Whether to go to Beijing, besides her own opinion, she also had to discuss with her daughter, Yinglian was not a young lady raised in a deep boudoir, her sense of choice was no lower than that of a man.

"Daddy, why do you think of going to Beijing?"

Yinglian only felt that her heart was in a mess and she was beating so fast.He squeezed the handkerchief in the palm of his hand fiercely, stabilized his mind, and asked.

"Your senior brother's suggestion, I thought, anyway, we are keeping filial piety, even if we go to Beijing, what do you think? Besides, your senior brother is alone in Beijing, I'm afraid it will be lonely. Let's go, it's also a companion."

Yinglian, who was always quite assertive, bowed her head and fell silent, she didn't know what was on her mind anymore.

After a while, as if she had made a decision, Yinglian said in a steady and authentic voice,

"For those who have left their hometown, let's forget it. It's good for us to live a stable life in Suzhou. Dad is getting old. After going to the north, there will be a lot of inconvenience. Besides, and moreover, the brother is very kind, but we can't It's dragged him down too much."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yin nodded in relief, her daughter was right,

"What you said is also reasonable, let me think about it again."

Yinglian walked out of her father's study with an expression of neither sadness nor joy, but the girl beside her keenly felt that something was wrong with the girl.But outside, she didn't dare to be presumptuous, she just hoped to go back quickly.

When she returned to her yard, Yinglian had already packed her emotions, and no one could see what the girl was thinking.

Originally extremely restrained, coupled with the loss of her mother, Yinglian became more stable than in previous years.The little girl has grown up and is more beautiful than before, but why does she not cherish her body so much, she has become so skinny...

Wu Yuanze of the gentleman on the tree watched her disappear from his sight from a distance by the weak light...

Half a moment later, look again, it's pitch black everywhere, and there's no one in sight...

Wu Yuanze didn't know that Yinglian, who was supposed to be helping him, was now holding him back. After hearing what his daughter said, Shi Yin really felt that it made sense. son.

As a boy grows up, he naturally has to go through experience to become a talent. Although he is still a little worried about Yuan Ze, he doesn't want to be his burden even more.

Thinking about it this way, Shi Yin lost his desire to go to Beijing with Yuan Ze.Shi Yin, who was still somewhat interested in going to Beijing, lost his enthusiasm as long as he thought that he might be a burden to Wu Yuanze.

Wu Yuanze didn't know much about these things yet, so he arranged for the long follower to go to Beijing, and asked him to tell the nanny in the inner house to arrange a place for the Zhen family's father and daughter. In the future, the inner house will be left to Yinglian. , His heart couldn't help but get hot.

Seeing the foolish look of his master, Ping An is a bit out of touch, and couldn't help but wink at Fu Gui, Fu Gui rolled his eyes at Ping An, there's no reason for a slave to intervene in the master's affairs, this Ping An is really more Da Yue is useless!

After a while, Wu Yuanze came back to his senses and returned to the yard with his two servants.

That night, although I still had some worries, I slept very well.It seems that here can give him a sense of security.Of course, there was also this period of running around, Wu Yuanze was really sleepy, and he slept all night and day all at once, and then he recovered.

Seeing Ping An and Fu Gui faintly excited, he felt very hungry.A daughter-in-law next to her didn't lose face, and hurriedly brought up the porridge and side dishes that had been prepared in the kitchen.

"The master is awake. Mr. Zhen just left. The doctor said he was too tired. He needs to take care of himself. The master is too indifferent to his own body. If something happens, bah bah, look at my crow's mouth , where can there be any contingencies."

Pingan immediately said a lot of words. Although Fugui didn't say anything, he still agreed with Pingan's words in his expression. It's really unwise for the master to disregard his own body like this.

After nagging a few times, Ping An also felt that it was very boring, so he kept silent.After eating two bowls of porridge, he felt less hungry and put down his chopsticks.

"Send someone to tell the gentleman, don't let him worry."

"The master just woke up and sent someone there, I'm afraid he will come back now."

Not long after I finished speaking, a boy came in as expected, a boy from the old Wangtou's family who stayed here to look after the yard.

"Master, I have already reported a letter to Mr. Zhen, saying that the master is taking a good rest recently, so don't go to the mansion over there. Also, the kitchen of Zhen's mansion prepares food for the master."

Wu Yuanze felt a little regretful that he had just filled his stomach, if not, he could have eaten more.

Forget it, let the kitchen be put away and use it tomorrow.

Hearing his orders, Pingan rolled his eyes faintly. The master is really thrifty, but who would dare to feed him the food for the night? ?

As for what the master said, he just pretended he didn't hear it. There are two plates of snacks, but he can leave them to the master...

After Wu Yuanze rested for a few days, he continued to go to Zhen's Mansion. He came back in a hurry, but it did not affect his great career in reading. Naturally, Zhen's Mansion had all kinds of books, pens and ink supplies.

His assiduous attitude greatly pleased Shi Yin. For a while, the master and apprentice seemed to have returned to the previous state, one teaching and the other learning, both of them worked hard.

Many doubts in Wu Yuanze's heart were answered, Shi Yin also felt that his disciple's homework was much more solid, and Shi Yin was happy that he did not let go of him after he went to Beijing.

※※※

In Kyoto, the news of Wu Yuanze's departure from Beijing was not intended to be hidden from others.Of course, there is no deliberate publicity.

The guards around him dutifully reported the news. After the emperor heard the news, the boss was unhappy for a while, and he was too casual.Of course, Wu Yuanze's emphasis on love probably followed his father's lead. Thinking of the passing of Tu Zhengyan, the emperor sighed wistfully.

Send someone to pass on the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Now it is the time when the concubines and concubines in the harem are busy cleaning up the other courtyards. You should ask how your income is.

After reporting on the progress with a low eyebrow, the emperor mentioned Wu Yuanze,

"Tell me, your nephew, let me say something, you have only been in Beijing for a few days..."

"I am frightened!"

Seeing his paralyzed face, the emperor also felt very boring,

"Okay, hurry up with the work at hand. Although some emperors are still there, no one has stopped your uncles and nephews from making out. Don't look like that. I remember you were cute when you were young. Why is it like this now?"

"I am frightened!"

Master Wu's continued expression of fear made the emperor feel bored, and he waved him back.

After Mr. Wu exited the Chong'an Hall, his expression was very complicated. He lowered his head and sighed, then calmed down and returned to the yamen.

Don't you feel sorry for your nephew?Although the face shape is the same as that of her brother-in-law, they are all disciples, but the facial features are carved out of the same mold as her sister.

Thinking of the dead sister and brother-in-law, thinking of the dead clansman, Mr. Wu really didn't know how to deal with the apprentice family, he couldn't and didn't dare to resent the emperor, the emperor, then the former mastermind and pusher, the noble concubine and the second Prince, can't you hate yourself?

Thinking about the troubles in the south of the Yangtze River in the past two years, the Zhen family, who is a "king of the south of the Yangtze River", even knew that the emperor was just using him, but Master Wu was still very grateful. He finally had the opportunity to take revenge in person .

As for Wu Yuanze, he didn't want to get too close. One of the reasons was that he didn't know how to deal with it. The most important thing was that he was about to go to the south of the Yangtze River. The enemy he had to face was not that simple. Will attack his own family.

He doesn't worry about his wife and children, the Yue family will always protect him, but what about Yuanze, if the people of the Zhen family know that he is the nephew of the Wu family, they may wish to kill him, and the current Prince Zhongyong will also Not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Therefore, even if Wu Yuanze came to the door, Mr. Wu didn't intend to recognize each other, so he dismissed him lightly.

Wu Yuanze didn't know the inside story. Although he had some feelings about his uncle's unrequited love for him, he could understand it.

It was just strangers he had never gotten along with, and what he cherished most was not his uncle's family, but the Zhen family.

※※※

After Daiyu returned to Beijing, she keenly realized that her situation was getting worse than before, and this time, she was really dependent on others and had no home anymore.

Whether it is Baoyu's consolation or the cold eyes of others, for Daiyu now, they are all scratching the surface, and they will not have much effect.

Her body was already weak, and after experiencing her father's funeral, it became even worse.

The emperor didn't feel much about Lin Ruhai's death. Although Lin Ruhai was a capable official, he was a good person, but there was one thing wrong with him. He belonged to the emperor's father, not his confidant.

Now that he is in power, he will naturally be rewarded for his merits. Jiangnan is rich and prosperous, so it is naturally a good place. The first salt official is Mr. Wu.

After he returned to the south of the Yangtze River, he had the influence of the Wu family, so he was able to secure his position. What he wanted was nothing like that. Naturally, he wanted to uproot the Zhen family and cut off his money bag. Look at the second brother Is there still some bastard spirit that makes people surrender with a shock of a tiger's body!

Lin Ruhai was dead, but the family property couldn't be cheaper. The Jia Mansion, especially the Rongguo Mansion, had a feud with Wu Yuanze for killing his sister.He really didn't believe it, Wu Yuanze could take revenge without taking revenge?

Thinking of the report from the subordinates, saying that the second master Lian of Jia's mansion had already started transporting the property of the Lin family to Beijing, the emperor was very upset.

Soon, there was a will.Wu Yuanze became Lin Ruhai's cousin and nephew.Of course, Lin Ruhai's maternal ancestor's family is also Jiangnan Wu's family, but it is not the same branch as Wu Yuanze's maternal ancestor's family.

The emperor behaved like this, even the emperor didn't say anything.After all, Lin Ruhai was considered a hero even if he died in office.Jia's actions are a little too much, let the emperor beat him up, it's okay, it won't chill the hearts of the courtiers.

Wu Yuanze, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and Daiyu and everyone in the Jia family in the capital were dumbfounded at the same time.

Emperor, what does this mean?

This was the common thought of Wu Yuanze, Lin Daiyu, and everyone in Jia's house.But no matter what, when this decree comes down, everyone will naturally obey it.

Recognition of relatives is not a big deal for everyone in the Jia family.Only Daiyu faintly looked forward to it, even if she was attentive to Baoyu, she was also a little absent-minded.

After Wu Yuanze, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, received the decree, he also received the secret decree.After reading it, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Fortunately, the emperor was sensible and didn't adopt him to Lin Ruhai, otherwise, his dead father would crawl out of the grave in anger to settle accounts with the emperor.

Wu Yuanze had no curiosity about Fairy Crimson Pearl at all, and now he was worrying about how to bring Shi Yin and Yinglian back to Beijing.

I don't know what's going on, but Shi Yin, who was a little shaken at first, is determined not to go to Beijing.

Now that he has received the imperial decree, the days to stay in the south of the Yangtze River are numbered, but Shi Yin has no intention of going to Beijing.

Wu Yuanze was really neither angry nor annoyed.Yang lingered for a long time, but Shi Yin still didn't agree.

With no other choice, he had no choice but to go back to Beijing to take care of the mess of Lin Ruhai and Daiyu.

Although I don't like debts or anything, who made me angry now?

Thinking of the list of property that the emperor gave him, he couldn't help being a little speechless, this Lin family is really very rich.It is the dowry of the mistresses of the past, which is as huge as one million taels.The rest is the accumulation of the five generations of the Lin family.

I don't know if Daiyu will lament that every scrap of paper belongs to the Jia family after knowing this.

If it were him, he would be so angry that he vomited blood and wanted to kill someone.

Wu Yuanze heard that Jia Lian was transporting things to Beijing, so he should hurry back to Beijing. The Jia mansion in the province built a garden and it was all spent. He couldn't keep a broken garden.

No matter how magnificent the garden is, it is not as happy as real money.For the sake of money, but also to vent his anger, the emperor also worked very hard. This royal ship was used as soon as it was said to be used.

In less than half a month, Wu Yuanze returned to the capital from Jiangnan.After resting hard in Beijing for two days, Wu Yuanze dressed himself like a red envelope, and posted a post to Jia's mansion to recognize his relatives.

Everyone in Jia's residence was also very curious about Daiyu's cousin, who knew what was on the mind of this cousin who appeared out of nowhere.

Even Daiyu has calmed down from the excitement before.Yes, what my grandmother said was right, people have ulterior motives, who knows what he is like?If there is really a conspiracy to attach to Jia's mansion, what should we do?

Although Daiyu looked calm, but looking at the posts he posted, she still had a little extravagant hope.

Others can't see it, but Baoyu, who has a close relationship with her, can still see it.Thinking about my hard work on her these years, I really blinded my heart for nothing.

Baoyu went back in a fit of anger, but Daiyu, who was absent-minded, didn't notice. Zijuan looked at Baoyu's back, bit her lips, and wanted to say something, but finally endured it.

Wu Yuanze came to the door, and under Jia Lian's leadership, he first visited the two masters, and then went to meet the pillar of Jia's mansion - Shi Taijun.

Of course, there is also the famous Jia Baoyu.

After Wu Yuanze saluted and greeted him, he proposed to meet Daiyu.Although he is now fifteen or sixteen years old, and Daiyu is also a ten-year-old girl, but this recognition of relatives is naturally necessary to meet.

The Jia family is notoriously unruly, but this is only a special case in front of Baoyu. For others, even Jia Lian, the eldest grandson, cannot stay in the inner house for a long time.

Daiyu was very nervous in the green gauze cabinet, and didn't know what kind of person she was.Listening to the news from Yuanyang, it is said that the ancestors asked her to meet foreigners.

Daiyu was at a loss, and stared at the mandarin duck with some curiosity.Yuanyang naturally knew what Miss Lin meant, and said with a smile,

"Zhen Zhener has a good appearance, and it sounds like he has studied well. He is already born in Juren. Now he is living in Beijing, and he will participate in the next year's competition."

After hearing this, Daiyu pursed her mouth even tighter, and after having someone tidy up her clothes, she went out following Yuanyang's footsteps...

Yuanyang looked at Miss Lin's gorgeous attire, and narrowed her eyes slightly. Miss Lin has always been a person who doesn't pay much attention to dressing up, but she didn't expect it to be so grand today.

Thinking of her master's thoughts, she could only calm down and quicken her pace.Walking in front of the screen, listening to the slightly magnetic male voice, Daiyu's footsteps are paused...
