Concubine Wen Xi of the Red Chamber Cheng Jia Min

Lin Ruhai hastened his horse, but he turned around in two days. He was dusty and pale, and went straight to Lin's mother's mourning hall.

Jia Min turned her head slightly, she pulled La Daiyu, and the two went out from the mourning hall, leaving space for Lin Ruhai.

As soon as Jia Min walked out of the door, he heard a suppressed cry. Jia Min felt sour in his heart, and looked back slightly, only to see Lin Ruhai's shoulders twitching slightly. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice it.

Lin Ruhai had to cry and take care of his colleagues and friends who came to pay respects. He was originally thin, and he had to travel long distances and there were many other reasons for the funeral. up.

Jia Min looked at Lin Ruhai's thin and tired face, sighed lightly, and muttered: "No matter what, you have to cherish your body."

Lin Ruhai's eyelashes trembled, and Jia Min was overjoyed, and quickly asked, "Did you hear me?"

After a while, Lin Ruhai opened his eyes in a little bewilderment. Seeing Jia Min humming softly, the corner of his mouth grinned, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Jia Min shook his head quickly, and said, "I'm not working hard." Seeing Lin Ruhai struggling to get up, Jia Min quickly reached out to help him up, leaned against the head of the bed, and then sat next to Lin Ruhai, talking in a low voice.

"How are you feeling?"

"It's nothing serious." Lin Ruhai shook his head, his voice was still a little weak, "Just rest and rest."

Jia Min nodded, and told him to rest more and not to work hard.

Lin Ruhai's heart warmed slightly, and he said, "Ding You's brochure has been handed over." Seeing Jia Min nodding, Lin Ruhai said again: "When the imperial decree is issued, we will help the spirit return to the hometown, so that mother can be buried as soon as possible. .”

"It should be like this." Jia Min naturally had no objection, she was silent for a moment, and then whispered: "I'm sorry about the mother."

"It's not your fault." Lin Ruhai shook his head, "You did a good job. Even I didn't find anything. It's fate."

Jia Min frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said: "But in my heart, I always feel that this is not the case."

Lin Ruhai closed his eyes, "Don't worry, I will check it out."

Seeing that he was tired and was about to leave, Jia Min heard Lin Ruhai say softly, "Be careful in everything these days." He looked at Jia Min, nodded slightly, and said, "Ga Li has been acting arrogantly and presumptuously in Jiangnan these years, and some people have long been dissatisfied. , There are quite a few people impeaching him. Although the emperor asked him to defend himself, he still wanted to doubt him in his heart. The emperor asked me what I thought of Gali. The current situation of our two families, even if I said that I never said anything about him In the slightest, he might not believe it."

Lin Ruhai paused for a moment, and then said: "Although I didn't say anything else, I made it clear that Mrs. Zhao wanted to harm Brother Mo, and handed over Song Qing to the emperor."

Hearing what he said, Jia Min raised the corners of her lips slightly, "This is enough." As the saying goes, too much is not enough, this is just right.

After taking care of the old lady's funeral, Lin Ruhai also waited for the imperial court's order, and Ding You's request to return to his hometown was approved. After the new inspector came to Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai could help the spirit to return home to observe filial piety.

Jia Min directed Zhu Yun and the others to pack up the things that needed to be taken to Suzhou. They would have to stay in Suzhou for at least three years. Therefore, many things in Yushi Yamen needed to be packed away.

She sat in front of the dressing table by herself, looking through the things in the small drawers. She has been Jia Min for more than three months, and she is busy every day, but she has never looked at these little things properly.

Jia Min flipped through the bottles and jars. There were a lot of rouge and gouache, which looked like they hadn’t been used for a long time, but there was a can of face cream in a delicate plum-shaped box, which seemed to be used often. Jia Min opened the box, There is a scent of fragrance, not strong, very light, like cold plum fragrance.

"The smell is unique." Jia Min put the box on the tip of her nose and smelled it, then frowned slightly, "I remember the old lady had such a box of face cream before."

"Madam, don't you remember?" Although Zhu Yun was a little puzzled, she didn't care. She thought that women who were pregnant and gave birth to children had poor memory, and said with a smile, "This is your favorite facial fat. The one in front of the old lady. That box was sent by you."

Jia Min smiled nonchalantly, "It smells really good."

"Isn't it? The Duke's Mansion only sent these two boxes in total. It is said that the production process is very complicated." Juanbi packed the clothes and said in the interface.

Jia Min sniffed it again and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so she casually said, "Then put it away first." But she didn't take it to heart.

That night, Lin Ruhai was gossiping with Jia Min, the handover at the yamen had been completed, the things that should be packed in the mansion had been packed, and they were going to leave for Suzhou tomorrow.

Jia Min was sitting in front of the dressing table, slowly combing her hair. She had just washed her face, and her face was still a little damp. She searched for a while, and happened to get the plum blossom face cream.

Jia Min paused, opened the facial fat, and smeared it on his hands carefully. The palms were still a little wet, which made the facial fat look a little slippery. Afterwards, her complexion changed drastically, she suppressed her anxiety, and after sending Zhu Yunjuanbi and the others away, she took out the plum-blossom-shaped box, handed it to Lin Ruhai, and said, "Do you remember this facial fat?"

Lin Ruhai glanced around, and seeing Jia Min's serious face, his heart tightened, and he took a closer look, before saying, "This is a gift from the ancestors of the Rongguo Mansion when Jia Min was pregnant. It’s for food and clothing, and they all brought some, and the nanny specially came to teach Min’er the precautions during pregnancy.” Lin Ruhai took it from Jia Min, he sniffed it, but didn’t see anything else, only puzzled He asked, "But is there a problem with this facial fat?"

Jia Min pursed her lips, and she frowned slightly. After pondering for a moment, she said in a little puzzled way: "Do you think the old lady of Rongguo Mansion really loves Jia Min?" It is the kind of cold plum fragrance, and there is no other taste.

"That's right, Mrs. Jia only has one girl, Min'er, so she loves her very much." Lin Ruhai didn't believe that Mother Jia would plot against Jia Min at all, "What's more, Jia Min married into the Lin family for more than ten years, and Daiyu was the only girl. , Mrs. Jia was extremely anxious, how could she tamper with her daughter during pregnancy."

He looked at the plum blossom face cream, frowned and said: "I heard Min'er mention that this face cream is a prescription given by a monk, and it has the effect of calming the nerves. It can also be used during pregnancy. The monks are merciful. How can you play tricks on this?"

"Has someone checked it?" Jia Min pondered for a moment before asking.

Lin Ruhai paused, then coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "Several doctors said that Moyu's baby is more likely to be a brother. This may be Lin Hai's eldest son, so naturally he values ​​it very much." Lin Ruhai Lowering his eyes, "Back then, Lin Hai secretly asked the doctor to check the fat on his face, and there was no problem."

"Tomorrow, I'm looking for someone to take a look at." Jia Min looked at the face suspiciously.

The next day.

Lin Ruhai brought an old doctor he knew well to check. The old doctor picked up a little facial fat with a silver needle, rubbed his thumb and forefinger slightly, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, inspected it carefully, and then opened his mouth. Said: "This facial fat looks like an ordinary facial fat. The only difference is that some soothing herbs are added to it."

Jia Min was pacing on the sidelines. Hearing what the old doctor said, she frowned tightly. She always believed in her intuition. She closed her eyes and thought for a while before taking the teacup from the table and pouring it out. A little water was in the face cream, and the slightly strong fragrance reappeared. Jia Min closed his eyes slightly, and felt that the fragrance seemed familiar, but he didn't remember where he smelled it.

She handed it to the old doctor again and said, "You are watching."

The old doctor looked at it for a while, and then said in shock: "This... seems to have a kind of astringent taste mixed in."

Lin Ruhai's complexion could no longer be described as ugly, and the old doctor couldn't see what was in it for a while, but he was sure that that vaguely astringent smell was definitely harmful to the body.

After the old doctor left, Lin Ruhai threw the teacup on the table on the ground, obviously very angry.

Jia Min sat silently on the side, didn't speak, only waited for Lin Ruhai to vent, then looked at him, and said softly: "The old lady..."

Jia Min didn't finish his sentence, but Lin Ruhai obviously understood.

This facial fat is a bit strange, just looking at it, there is no problem, but if it encounters water, there will be problems with this facial fat, maybe it is medicine, or it may be something else, in short, this kind of thing is harmful to the human body. It can also explain why both Jia Min and the old lady died inexplicably.

The person behind this is obviously extremely cautious.

Facial grease is always used after cleansing the face. At that time, whether it is on the hands or the face, there is moisture, and the moisture makes the contents of the facial grease penetrate into the skin. If it is used less, it may not If something goes wrong, if things go on like this and accumulate over time, it is not surprising that it will kill people.

At the beginning when she found Zhao Mama, she only found the witch doll, but nothing.

She was originally used to defraud Nanny Zhao about the rape, and there was no evidence, but because of the witch doll, the killing of Jia Min was shelved.

"Then here comes the problem." Jia Min coughed lightly, drawing Lin Ruhai's attention, and then said softly: "This facial fat was sent by the old lady of Jia's mansion, and she specially explained that this facial fat has the effect of calming the nerves, so it's okay to use it during pregnancy , she can't blatantly come to harm her daughter."

"You mean the second wife?" Lin Ruhai frowned.

"Who else is there besides her?" Jia Min raised her eyebrows and said disdainfully, "This is not the first time."

"But we don't have any evidence." Lin Ruhai rubbed his eyebrows, looking very irritable.

"Even if it's not her, it still has something to do with her!" Jia Min clenched a fist with one hand, stretched out a palm with the other, and patted it, then said: "This Jia's mansion is quite interesting. It's full of bullying by married aunts. It's puzzling." His tone was full of sarcasm.

"What are you going to do next?" Jia Min looked at Lin Ruhai and asked, she really wanted to know, what was his plan for the second wife to bully the Lin family like this?

Lin Ruhai said bitterly: "Of course she has to pay in blood!"

"How to pay blood debt with blood?" Jia Min asked repeatedly.

Lin Ruhai didn't speak, Jia Min chuckled lightly, and said: "If you take action against the Jia family or the Wang family, it will be unfair. After all, you have no evidence to prove that the mother was the victim of the Wang family, and I." Jia Min pointed The tip of his nose, "She is the aunt of the Jia family in name, and nothing happened."

"What do you think?" Although he didn't think he would really be as aboveboard as Jia Min said, he didn't intend to tell her.

"She killed your mother, killed your wife and children, then you should treat her as her own." Jia Min raised her eyebrows, and said quite indifferently, "If her husband and wife are divorced, and her children resent her, her mother's family will hate her." Wouldn't it be more interesting to hate her, her husband's family looked down on her and let her have nothing." The corners of Jia Min's lips were slightly curved, looking very interested.

Lin Ruhai twitched the corners of his mouth, nodded a little stiffly, and sounded the alarm in his heart again, he would rather offend the villain than the living ancestor in his family.

The matter of the Wang family should be discussed in the long term, but the more important thing now is to help the spirit go back to Gusu, so that the old lady can be buried in the ground. Fortunately, Yangzhou is not far from Suzhou. If there is no delay on the way, it will take two or three days. It's here too.

Jia Min took Daiyu to sit in the carriage and opened the curtain to look out. These days, because of the death of the old lady, Daiyu was very depressed, and she didn't see her happy face for several days. She was really afraid that this would go on like this. If the little girl is sick, she will be heartbroken to death.

Jia Min cited Daiyu to look at the scenery outside, not wanting her to be bored in the car reading a book, if this is a normal person, she would also get sick from boredom, after staying for two days, when she was about to arrive in Suzhou, there were no pedestrians on the road , even the birds chirped less, Jia Min frowned slightly.

Lin Lindong didn't know what he said in Lin Ruhai's ear, Lin Ruhai raised his hand to signal to stop, Jia Min leaned out and asked, "What happened?"

Lin Ruhai nodded unobtrusively, and said in a low voice, "Take care of yourself and your child."

Jia Min nodded, and sat in the car again, holding Moyu in one hand and Daiyu in the other, feeling a little heavy, who is so courageous to hijack the convoy of the imperial order?
