Concubine Wen Xi of the Red Chamber Cheng Jia Min

As time went by, Jia Min's heart sank continuously. Daiyu seemed to be frightened by the silent atmosphere. She snuggled up to Jia Min's side, a little scared. Jia Min patted Daiyu's back comfortingly. Back, to show comfort.

But at this moment, a group of thieves emerged from the forest, armed with knives and sticks in their hands. Seeing Lin Ruhai and his party, they shouted loudly, "What are you doing? Where are you going?"

Lin Lindong raised his voice and shouted: "Our master is from Gusu, and now he is helping Ling to go back to his hometown so that he can rest in peace. Can a good man make it easier?"

The leading man sneered, and asked loudly: "But the former inspector Yan Yushi Lin Ruhai?!"

Lin Ruhai stepped forward and cupped his hands, and said: "It's the official." He paused, and continued to ask: "Are you here specially to wait for the official?"

The man raised his eyebrows and said yes!But after that, Lin Ruhai didn't have a chance to react. The man waved his hand and said, "It's them! Kill me!"

After Jia Min heard the man's words, his pupils shrank sharply. He was planning to kill him. If he succeeds this time, Lin Ruhai was beheaded by the bandits, and his death would be in vain!

Jia Min listened to the sound of swords and swords ping-pong-pong, and her face was condensed. She put Moyu in Zhuyun's hand, asked Juanbi to look after Daiyu, and said, "Take care of them." She opened the door as she spoke. Car curtain, holding a horsewhip in his hand, whipped it directly towards the face of the visitor.

Lin Lindong stood by Lin Ruhai's side, but gradually his fists were no match for four hands. Lin Lindong struggled a bit. He knocked down one person with a knife, but was slashed in the back by another person. Jia Min pursed her lips and shouted Said: "There are too many of them, protect the master and retreat!" She returned to the carriage, tied Moyu to herself with a cloth belt, and said to Juanbi and the other two: "Their goal is the master. , we will split up in a while, you take the time to run quickly and meet up at the inn in the city."

"Madam?! What about you?" Zhu Yun asked hastily.

"I'll take Moyu and Daiyu on horseback." Jia Min didn't even think about it, and said directly that Xuan Ye taught her riding skills, so it's no problem to rush out from among these people.

Jia Min is not good at driving, she only knows how to ride a horse. Seeing that Lin Ruhai attracts most of the people, Jia Min frowned tightly, untied the rope of the horse quickly, turned over, Daiyu sat in front of her, and Jia Min Min lowered Daiyu slightly, flicked the whip, and rushed directly to the distance.

The wind was whistling beside her ears, and the sound of two teams of troops fighting and killing could be heard in the distance. Jia Min only lowered her body and tightly protected the two children. Her palms were a little sticky, but she didn't care.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Jia Min came across a convoy of convoys from a distance. Jia Min stopped the horse tightly, and the horse let out a long cry from its front legs. .

When the carriage stopped, a young man in brocade clothes, who was about eighteen or nineteen years old, opened the curtain and looked at her with interest. Seeing her steady the horse, she whistled frivolously and clapped her hands, "Ma'am is great!" of riding."

Jia Min squinted her eyes and felt a little familiar, but she didn't care. She saw the guards around the convoy, they were tall and big, and they were all Lian's sons, so she hurriedly asked for help: "Please help, young master!"

But at this moment, another person came out from the carriage, his brows were slightly frowned, his face was stern, and he looked very impatient. When Jia Min saw that person, his eyes widened immediately, he looked at the young man again, and quickly shouted: " My husband is Lin Ruhai, the censor of salt inspection, he met a gangster at the ten-mile slope ahead, and asked Sibeile to help him!"

The stern-faced man was none other than the fourth son of the emperor, Yinzhen. Although he was a little older, his outline hadn't changed much. Therefore, Jia Min recognized at a glance that the young man before was actually the thirteenth elder brother.

Sibeile narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He glanced at Jia Min, and then said something to Yinxiang who was beside him, and Yinxiang led the people away on horseback.

Jia Min pursed her lips, she lowered her head slightly, untied Mo Yu from her body, and softly coaxed Dai Yu to snuggle tightly beside her.

Oh, what a worry.

Yinzhen used to call himself concubine mother, but now he wants her to salute him, which is really unreasonable.

It's just that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. After Jia Min comforted the two children, he had to bend down to salute Yinzhen.

Yinzhen lowered his eyes and glanced at Jia Min before saying, "Madam, please get up." Then he sat in the carriage again, closed his eyes to rest, and ignored her.

Jia Min is happy to be at leisure.

Daiyu leaned against Jia Min, her eyes were filled with tears. From Jia Min's perspective, although she was holding back, there were still many tears rolling down, "Mother...Daddy..."

Jia Min hugged Daiyu with one arm, and kissed her forehead comfortingly, "Your father is fine."

"Ma'am, give this pastry to Miss." A skinny little eunuch came over with a plate of pastries with a smile on his face.

Jia Min had no expression on her face, but she didn't refuse the eunuch's gift, she just seemed a little indifferent, she fed Daiyu some snacks, and felt that the time was a bit difficult.

When Elder Brother Thirteen brought Lin Ruhai over, Jia Min's eyes lit up, and he hurried over and asked, "Are you okay?" As he said that, he looked at him carefully, and saw bloodshot eyes on his arm. Jia Min's complexion changed, and he quickly said, "Are you injured? Is there something wrong?"

Lin Ruhai patted Jia Min reassuringly, and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." As she spoke, she took Jia Min to salute Si Bei Le and Thirteen Brothers, "I'll give it to you..."

"There's no need to be too polite." Sibeile waved his hand, and only after Brother Thirteen passed by did he ask, "Master Lin is injured?"

"No problem."

"But ordinary bandits?" Sibeile asked, always concise.

Lin Ruhai hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "They are very purposeful."

"Surprised." Sibeile nodded, fingers turning the beads on his wrist, thoughtfully.

"Don't worry, these people fell into my hands, and I will investigate for you." The thirteenth brother saw that the fourth brother had asked, and then he smiled and said. Seeing Lin Ruhai bent his lips, the thirteenth brother looked again. Xiang Jia Min and the others laughed and said, "Your Madam's riding skills are really eye-opening. Han women rarely know how to ride a horse."

Jia Min secretly rolled her eyes. She dared to bet that her riding skills were definitely better than Thirteenth Brother.

Lin Ruhai twitched the corners of his mouth stiffly, and had to apologize in embarrassment.

Because she had something to discuss, under Lin Ruhai's gesture, Jia Min finally left the eyes of the two elder brothers. She breathed a sigh of relief and was a little dazed. She thought, this feels very novel, it's obviously her, but it's not She is obviously a familiar person, but she still has to be treated as a stranger.

She was able to face Yinzhen and Yinxiang calmly, and perhaps when she saw Yin'e, she could also control her emotions.

After all, she is nothing now and has nothing to do with the royal family.

Daiyu raised her head and shook Jia Min's arm suspiciously. Little Moyu was crying and twitching. Jia Min shook her head quickly, but at this moment, Zhuyun and Juanbi ran over and saw Jia Min, the two burst into tears of joy and chattered.

This time, thanks to Jia Min's arrangement, if she hadn't added nearly double the number of people to escort them, they would never have escaped the disaster so easily this time.

Lin Ruhai discussed with Yinzhen for nearly two hours before arriving at Jia Min's place. At this moment, Jia Min had already rearranged the salute convoy. Fortunately, the old lady's coffin was not damaged. After sending the two Highnesses away, They also set off again towards the Lin family's ancestral house.

The one who came to pick up Lin Ruhai was a cousin of the Lin family's Shu branch called Lin Qing, with a smile on his face, looking very friendly. After seeing the two of them, he saluted Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, and said with a smile: " My father said that the eldest brother was coming, so he sent me to wait here early." Seeing that the group of people were a little tired, and some of their clothes were blood-stained and tattered, he was startled, and quickly asked, "What's going on?"

Lin Ruhai said briefly, and brought Lin Qing back to the ancestral house.

There are not many people in his branch. There is no one living in Lin's family in Ping'an Lane, only the maids and servants are left to disturb the house. When he came back this time, he sent someone to deliver the letter. Therefore, the house is not damp, and it can be live directly.

Jia Min walked all the way, looking at the ancestral home of the Lin family. It is a typical Jiangnan style, with rockery, corridors, pavilions and pavilions, but it is also extremely elegant.

The main courtyard of Linzhai in Ping'an Lane is called Qingyunyuan, and the main hall is Ronghuatang. The place where Jia Min is standing now is Ronghuatang, which is located on the central axis of the entire Linzhai. The courtyard is spacious and bright, both in terms of location and layout. Yes, the furnishings in the house are also exquisite and luxurious.

Lin Ruhai was busy sending the old lady to the ancestral grave, choosing a blessed place, and after placing the tablet of the old lady respectfully in the ancestral hall, she was completely busy.

In addition to taking care of the children, Jia Min had to take care of other food and clothing expenses, shopping and displaying, etc., and she was really tired.

After finally being free, Jia Min heard that the plum blossoms in Panxiang Temple on Xuanmu Mountain were particularly famous, so he took his children to Panxiang Temple to enjoy the plum blossoms.

Moyu is now five months old, and she is round and cute. Every day, her round eyes roll around, and she smiles at people from time to time. The cuteness is about to melt.

Because of Moyu's young age, Jia Min didn't stay outside much. The carriage was covered with a thick brocade quilt and a charcoal stove was burning. She didn't feel cold, so she took the carriage directly to the gate of the temple.

Jia Min got off the car and looked from a distance. On the right side of the temple, a large slope was full of plum blossoms. At this time, they were blooming, and there were tourists frolicking in the distance. Jia Min was in a good mood and took Daisy. Yu, said: "Look over there, the plum blossoms are just in bloom, and I will ask Zhuyun to take you to play later."

"Mother won't you go?" Daiyu's face was full of joy, but she heard that Jia Min asked Zhu Yun to take her there. She frowned and said in a low voice, "Yu'er wants to go with mother."

Jia Min rubbed Daiyu's hair with a smile, looked at the sky, nodded and said, "Okay, your brother is still young, so you can't play too much."

"Well, Yu'er will save it." Daiyu's eyes lit up, and she quickly assured: "Yu'er will look after my brother."

Jia Min smiled, and then took the people to the temple.

It was the first time for her to come to Panxiang Temple, and the guide was a four or five-year-old little novice, not tall and a little thin, but white and clean, looking very cute and pleasing.

"Is this the first time for the little benefactor to come to Panxiang Temple?" The little novice led Daiyu to talk.

Daiyu opened her big eyes, looked around curiously, nodded and said, "I just came from Yangzhou, and I have never been to Panxiang Temple."

The little novice nodded with a smile, "No wonder I haven't seen the little benefactor."

Jia Min chuckled and said, "How does the little monk know that he has never seen it, rather than he has forgotten it."

"Amitabha, monks don't tell lies, and monks never tell lies." The little novice said quickly.

"No and no." Jia Min stretched out his finger, shook it and said, "There are many people coming and going in this Panxiang Temple every day, the little monk may have seen it but forgot it?"

The little novice was stunned for a moment, but nodded cautiously, and said obediently: "The benefactor is right, but..." The little novice tilted his head to look at Daiyu again, pursed his lips and said, "Just the little benefactor Like this, once I have seen it, I will never forget it.”

Jia Min couldn't help but joked: "It can be seen that the little monk is also impure, how could he enter Buddhism?"

The little monk blushed and pouted, but ignored Jia Min and acted like he hadn't heard.

With the little novice leading the way, there were fewer and fewer people. Passing by an exquisite courtyard, two monks came out with something. Jia Min took a closer look, and immediately frowned. The wrapped one clearly looks like a child.

Seeing this, the little novice sighed softly and recited Amitabha Buddha.

Jia Min vaguely heard crying noises coming from the courtyard, so he couldn't help standing still and watching. Although the two monks came out, it was a monk with a round face and big ears in cassock. When the monk saw Jia Min, he was taken aback for a moment and read He said Amitabha, and when he saw the little novice, he smiled and said, "Yuan Che is playful again."

It turned out that the little novice was called Yuan Che. He called Master to the round-faced monk, and then said to Jia Min: "This is my master, monk Deqing, and the abbot of Panxiang Temple."

Jia Min nodded slightly, then looked at the figure who had just been carried out, and asked suspiciously: "This is..."

Monk Deqing sighed, "Amitabha, this is a long story."

"I don't want to become a monk, I want to go back!" At this time, a crying girl ran from the courtyard, her hair was tied up in a gray cloth, and she was also wearing a gray cotton cloth. Her face was full of tears, and she pulled the clothes on her body. Crying: "I don't want to wear this ugly clothes, don't tie up this bun, I want to go home."

"Girl, bear with it." The old servant wiped his tears and said, "Another substitute has died, and your health is not good. If you don't leave home, you will die."

"Then find another one! Find another substitute!" The little girl cried and said, "I don't want to stay here!"
