[Red Chamber] Jia Lian has an ancestor system

Qing Yan took a few officials who supervised the affairs, and set off to Jinling together.

The Xie family, Zhu family, Liu family and other big and small families who were invaded and occupied by the historian took turns to ask people to come to see the fourth prince, but they were all blocked from the door.

The official in charge of investigating the land invasion this time is Zeng Shishun, the prefect of Jinling Yingtian, who just succeeded Jia Yucun.

When he first came to Jinling, he learned about the four major families through the mouth of his door, and saw that Jia Yucun was helped by Jia's mansion. Towards the four major families.Unexpectedly, today is different from the past, the wind direction has changed, how can he show mercy to historians.

The four princes supervised the handling, and all kinds of evidence such as clear evidence, circumstantial evidence, and witness evidence are all available, so the judge historians returned the land and houses of each family, and they all followed the regulations.

Zeng Shishun thought about handling this case well so that he could become a Beijing official in the future.

Based on this, Qingyan's trip went smoothly without any hindrance.

After working for a long time, discussing the compensation and return plan, Qing Yan finally got some free time during the few days of measuring the land, saying that he had to leave for a few days beforehand, and then pronounce the sentence when he came back.

Qing Yan rode a fast horse and rushed to Suzhou.

The tangerines are cold and the people are cold, and the old sycamore trees are in autumn. ①

In Gusu City in October, ginkgo trees are turning yellow, maple leaves are turning red, and phoenix trees are growing old.Lin Daiyu also went out in the sedan chair at first, and gradually got off the sedan chair and brought a maid, and dared to buy some things in the market in person, and then brought them to the girls in the garden.

Tanchun likes some small clay sculptures, and Xichun likes painting, so I bought some paints for her.There are also Suzhou embroidery, silk and other items, and Lin Daiyu has all of them in her pocket.

Late autumn is the season for picking chicken head rice. There are often farmers selling fresh chicken head rice in bamboo baskets on the street. Lin Daiyu bought fresh chicken head rice twice. , the nose is fragrant, and the mouth is soft and waxy. If you sprinkle some sweet-scented osmanthus on the chicken head rice, it will be a perfect match.

Speaking of sweet-scented osmanthus, she harvested some sweet-scented osmanthus in early September and brewed a few bottles of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, which will be ready to drink in a month.

The custom in Gusu is to drink sweet-scented osmanthus wine during the winter solstice. Although she should be in the capital during the winter solstice, wouldn't it be more respectable to bring the wine she made herself and invite everyone to taste it together.

Therefore, living alone in Gusu these days, she didn't feel lonely at all, but lived a fulfilling, quiet and peaceful life every day.

On this day, the news of the historian's being raided finally reached Lin Daiyu's ears. Lin Song said: "I heard that the incident was caused by the case of land invasion. On the fifth day of September, the Marquis Bowling's Mansion was raided overnight."

Lin Daiyu suddenly remembered that on the fourth day of the first day, Uncle Lin Hong and others left in a hurry. Could it be that they got a secret report to do this matter?

The historian is also his ancestral home, so it is inconvenient to say goodbye?

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is the reason. It is easy to get an answer, just ask Uncle Lin Hong, but it is unnecessary.

Lin Daiyu lowered her head heavily, and said only: "Understood, don't go out and chew your tongue."

These big families have always been arrogant and domineering when they are prosperous. Not only historians are like this, but other close-knit families are not like this?Brother Xue's beating to death was easily settled. Even in Jia's mansion, there were so many unsightly scandals.

Although she has lived in the garden for a long time, she can always hear a thing or two.

Because the Lin family is a scholarly family, the members of the family are withered, and her father is a clean official, what she wants in her life is not rich and powerful, but a person with one heart...

Looking at it now, it is just a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water.

Lin Daiyu glanced at the coffee table, and picked up the small Junlan tea bowl from Jian Kiln. What she wanted in her life was too vain, not as real as the bowl of tea in front of her.

Then, the next morning, a man walked into the Lin residence on clear frost and wrapped in the autumn wind.

Lin Daiyu had just washed and washed, she was holding a pair of pearl earrings in her hand, and was planning to change them today, when a little maid came over and said, "Girl, Mr. Qingyan is here."

Lin Daiyu was very surprised.

But Zijuan asked very happily: "But it's true? Did the young master come with Master Hong San?"

The little servant girl shook her head and said: "No, he entered the mansion with the previous entourage and didn't see any other guests. Steward Lin sent me to inform the girl."

Zijuan couldn't hide a smile from the corner of her mouth, and said: "Understood, you go to entertain the guests first, our girl will go right away."

Lin Daiyu was puzzled: "What does it mean that he came here alone?"

Zijuan pursed her lips and smiled, took the pearl earring from Daiyu, happily helped her put it on, looked in the mirror again, and said, "Miss, you will know when you go to see the young master."

At the entrance of the hall, the man stood tall and tall. When he saw Lin Daiyu appearing in front of the courtyard, his eyes were starry and the corners of his mouth were smiling. He went down the steps to greet her.

"Miss Lin, I am sorry to bother you."

Han Fu also walked down the steps beside him, cupping his fists in respect.

Lin Daiyu saw that Qing Yan and Han Fu looked like they were busy in the world, trying to pull themselves together, and wondered if they were on the road day and night?Then he said: "I see that you are very tired, do you want to go and have a rest first?"

"Let's rest later." Qing Yan said unceremoniously, "Let's prepare some breakfast for now, we are all starving, we came all the way from Jinling, we didn't bring much dry food, and we dare not eat anything on the road."

Han Fu was even more relieved. In order to hurry, they changed four horses along the way, and they were so hungry that their chests stuck to their backs...

Such a Pianpian young man can always poke Lin Daiyu's smile, she sipped her lips and said: "Housekeeper, prepare breakfast quickly."

As a result, Gusu specialties such as wonton noodles, fried buns, and chicken head rice were put on the table earlier, as well as some buns, pastries, and soup...

Lin Daiyu ate the meal together, or rather, Lin Daiyu ate a few sips, and most of the time she watched Qing Yan with amazed eyes, while Han Fu sat at a smaller table next to her, devouring the same thing.

Finally, Qing Yan drank the bowl of soup and regained his energy. He took the handkerchief handed over by the servant girl and wiped his mouth, rinsed his mouth with tea, and then smiled slightly at Lin Daiyu: "I made the girl laugh." .”

Lin Daiyu couldn't help it, burst out laughing, and quickly covered herself with a handkerchief.

Qing Yan grinned in embarrassment, and said innocently: "No way, I'm really hungry all the way."

After sitting and resting for a while, Lin Song came over and said that Qiushuiju had prepared new mattresses and quilts, and asked the young master to go and rest.

Lin Daiyu sent Qingyan to Qiushuiju, and the two chatted about homework while walking.

Qingyan asked Daiyu how she was doing recently.

Daiyu replied: "The days are leisurely and fulfilling."

"That's really good. Last time we left in a hurry, we didn't even have time to say goodbye to the girl."

Daiyu thought, this is the end of the sentence, and was about to say something, but Qingyan said: "It's just because the sacred will is hard to violate, so it's inconvenient to explain to the girl. When I come here today, I need to make amends to the girl first."

Daiyu originally planned to let him let it go as long as he brought it up, but seeing his sincerity, she naturally didn't care, she said: "Forget it, seeing that you really have something important to do, I will forgive you for leaving without saying goodbye."

Lin Daiyu pretended to smile proudly.

"No." Qing Yan's face suddenly sank, his whole body became serious, and he gave Han Fu a look.

Han Fu understood, and stopped Zijuan and the others: "Young master has something important to tell Miss Lin, please avoid it."

After saying that, Han Fu led Zicuckoo back a few steps.

Lin Daiyu's heart tightened inexplicably, what's wrong?

"Did you hear that the Jinling Historian was copied?"

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and replied: "I only found out about the confiscation of my grandmother's family home not long ago. Although I am sorry, I am helpless."

Qing Yan once again said sincerely: "Originally, you can not talk about these things with the girl, but if you don't tell me that I am uneasy, even if I am sleepy, I will not be able to sleep. The last time I suddenly left without saying goodbye, it was when I received the Holy Majesty According to the secret decree, Master Zhang is sent to Jinling to search the historians, and I, as the fourth son of the current emperor, lead the decree to go forward together."

Lin Daiyu was dumbfounded. She wasn't surprised to hear that he ransacked the house, but to see that he was so sincere, so straightforward, so frank... Also, he was actually the Fourth Prince!

How many people, such things, and such identities cannot be concealed, but he has no reservations.

Lin Daiyu had thought about his identity, and guessed which prince and grandson he was, a descendant of a powerful person, but never thought that he was a prince!

Lin Daiyu froze for a while, without saying a word.

Qing Yan sighed: "It's only natural that these words will scare you."

Lin Daiyu came back to her senses, thought for a while, and then jokingly said: "In such an early morning, if you throw such a large stone on the calm lake, you won't be afraid that the splashing water will flood the Lin residence... "

Qing Yan was a little confused: "Aren't you afraid? Are you not worried?"

Lin Daiyu said: "What am I afraid of? What am I worried about? You are the guest in my residence right now."

"..." Qing Yan was stunned, "It seems quite reasonable."

"I ask you, what do you tell me these things?"

Seeing that Daiyu's face returned to calm, Qingyan also relaxed, and said honestly: "I don't want to hide anything from the girl. Since I met her that day, I feel as if I have known her in my previous life. This time I came from Jinling. So I wanted to tell the girl everything, frankly, just because I didn't want to lose a confidant like the girl."

After Qing Yan finished speaking, he walked forward and said: "The last time I went to search the historians, it was a sacred order, but I am even more afraid that the girl will be jealous of me."

Daiyu nodded and said, "Naturally there are taboos."

Qing Yan's face became embarrassed, he stopped innocently, sighed and said: "As expected, the girl is going to have a divorce with me?"

"But it's not at the point of birth." Daiyu looked at his lost look, and felt a little bit amused in her heart, but such a tragic thing as ransacking the house is really not suitable for trifling, "My uncle also went together, so why should I?" Don't you want to share with your uncle too?"

Only then did Qing Yan slow down.

Daiyu said earnestly: "Now the historian's case must be in progress, I'm just worried about those innocent people involved. I don't know if grandma knows, and Xiangyun..."

"Please rest assured, Miss Xiangyun has been released from prison."

released?Daiyu looked at him puzzled.

But he said very firmly: "I heard Master Lin said that Miss Xiangyun is your good sister in the garden, and she is just an orphan girl in the clan, and she is engaged, so people let her go, but I can only do this trivial thing."
