[Red House] Big Salt Merchant

This time, Jia Lian had the upper hand in the quarrel with Wang Xifeng, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous. He pretended to rest at home for a few days, and went out to fool around.

As for Lin Yu, he later met Jia Zhen and Jia Rong in the Ning Mansion, and together they went out for a stroll around the capital, ignoring other matters, and only occasionally went to see Jia Mu.And because he wasn't Jia Min's own child, he was always somewhat different in blood relationship, so he tolerated everything.As long as no one is looking for him, Lin Yu will be in his room.

When Daiyu came to visit that day, he raised his head and listened to Zhang Baoer's report, so he only invited Daiyu to come in and sit down.

Maybe she just came to Rongfu, it seems that Daiyu's previous worries have eased.

The old lady doted on her more than Sanchun, and Baoyu often pestered him, except for some bad things that were not humane, but there were signs of being happy.Lin Yu thought it was good, at least Lin Ruhai could feel at ease.Now that Daiyu is here, she is in a good mood, and it is up to Lin Ruhai to decide whether to take her back later.

After thinking about it for a few times, Lin Yu pulled her to sit down and asked her how she was doing recently.

Daiyu was fine, but said: "I heard that my brother will be back in five days, I..."

It is true that Lin Yu will go back in five days. Sister Dai has settled down here. Now Lin Ruhai should be half worried and half relieved in this situation.He said: "Parting and reunion are common things, you don't have to worry too much, the grandmother here is taking care of you, and you can come back anytime if you miss home. It's just that you are only here as a guest, and the family will support you."

Daiyu sat diagonally across from him, turned her eyes, but she understood, she pursed her lips slightly and smiled, "Grandmother treats me very well, and my sisters treat me well, everyone is kind."

It just looks good, but they know in their hearts whether it is really good or not.

Lin Yu didn't want to expose it, but asked Daiyu to watch it slowly.

He talked to Daiyu for a long time, and after a while her maid Zijuan came to the door and said that some girls over there wanted to play with Daiyu and wanted to find her.

Before leaving, Dai Yufang told the news she had heard that members of the Xue family were going to Beijing too.

Lin Yu was taken aback when he heard this, but Daiyu had already gone away.

Standing at the door, he raised his eyebrows, turned around and leaned directly on the carved door.Could it be that even Daiyu knew that he had someone beat Xue Pan before, and she came to tell her the news, presumably because she knew that he had a good personal relationship with Xue Pan, right?

When Xue Pan went to Beijing, he acted like he was okay after getting into trouble.

When it was time to leave, Lin Yu had already started to pack his things, and heard the news one after another.

When Jia Yucun came to Beijing, it was Lin Ruhai who wrote a letter and recommended it to Jia Zheng, and Jia Zheng worked with the Wang family to settle the matter, which happened to be a vacancy for a prefect.Unexpectedly, Jia Yucun is in a dilemma now, just because the Xue family is related to Jia Wang's family, and Jia Wang's family is Jia Yucun's great benefactor, but Xue Pan committed a murder case and was sued. The case is still pending.

Three days before Lin Yu left Beijing, Xue Pan happened to come, and happened to be arranged in Lixiangyuan.

When he came before, Lin Yu didn't go to see him, but Daiyu and Baoyu also went to see him.I heard that Daiyu's complexion was not good when she came back—it was Aunt Xue, Xue Pan, and Xue Baochai who came, and they didn't bring a few servants, but the whole family of Jia's family went to welcome them. I don't know how many times the scenery has increased.

Both Lin Yu and Daiyu are sensitive people, how could they not be aware of this?

Especially Mrs. Wang, when she saw Aunt Xue, tears began to appear in her eyes. I heard that the two sisters were very touching when they met.

Xue Pan is a prodigal, it's not worth mentioning, but others praised his sister Xue Baochai as a fairy, not only beautiful but also know how to deal with people, comparing her with Daiyu, Daiyu is at a disadvantage.

"They are still in the front hall. When the mandarin duck next to Mrs. Cai came over, she said you would come too later." Zhang Baoer studied Lin Yu's ink, with a somewhat disdainful expression on her face.

Lin Yu picked up his brush to paint, but what he cared about in his heart was the affairs of Yangzhou.

Living in this Rong Mansion is always too far away from his world, and it was not his pursuit from the beginning.

"The discomfort in my heart can only be attributed to the past two days, and it will be fine after that." The embarrassing thing is that Daiyu is not feeling well, but there is nothing to do about it.Lin Yu said, "I'm not feeling well now, but I'll be comfortable later on. Have you packed your things? We have to leave the day after tomorrow, so we can't delay."

The Rong Mansion was lively and lively, but there was no news about Sichuan.

There must have been a major event in Sichuan, and a lot can be known from Xia Shengzhi's words.This Xia Xingzhi was also black-hearted, and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, making calculations and calculations, but the unlucky ones turned out to be those salt merchants.

"Master, it's time, why don't you go over there for dinner?"

It is said that it is for the three distinguished guests of Xue's family to clean up the dust, and they can't be left behind. Even if Lin Yu is unwilling, he puts down his pen in the Rong Mansion and asks people to pass by with lanterns. The female relatives are at the old lady's side, because Xue Pan was young, so he stayed with Jia Lian and the others.

Lin Yu came just in time, before the banquet started, the time was right, and Jia Lian dragged her in with his shoulders.

"I'm talking about you. I didn't expect Mr. Lin to know me too. It's just right, come and sit."

Looking up, Xue Pan was indeed sitting there with his body tilted, looking at Lin Yu.

After a few people greeted each other, Lin Yu sat down, and then the men and boys began to drink. Lin Yu didn't drink much from the cup, but Xue Pan took one cup after another.

"Is the matter of the dead ghost Feng Yuan over?" Jia Rong suddenly laughed while drinking, and said, "No one dares to mess with the Xue family. He deserves it if he is beaten to death."

As soon as he said this, Jia Lian's face changed slightly, but he said: "Brother Rong, be careful."

Jia Lian was very outspoken when he spoke, but now when he talked about Jia Rong, Jia Rong's face flashed a bit of dissatisfaction, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.He said, "I was negligent."

Jia Rong sat on the other side, because he was relatively young, so he never sat with Lin Yu and the others.He is Jia Lian's nephew, so he should be humble now.Jia Lian just reprimanded him, and they always ate, drank and had fun together, so Jia Lian didn't care when he finished speaking.Because he had talked to Xue Pan earlier, Xue Pan seemed reluctant to mention this matter, with a stinky face.

How to put it, Xue Panyuan is also a guest, and it is always right to pay attention to some things.

It's just too late, when Jia Rong's words came out, Xue Pan put the wine glass heavily on the table, "I told you that I didn't kill that man! That dead ghost, Feng Yuan, has tuberculosis, and my servants are not serious about it." He died of illness when he was dragged back, and he had to rely on my family for some burial money. Everything has to be blamed on me, how can there be such a reason? They asked for money, but I just refused to pay. Let them sue me , Let's see who is unlucky!"

These words became arrogant for no reason, but no one knew whether what he said was true or false.

Lin Yu felt that he wasn't lying when he heard it. Xue Pan was not a scheming person, but just a stubborn dude. Everything in the family was handled by his uncle Xue Zan and his mother. He didn't know anything at all. Often make people laugh.What's more, his anger just now didn't look like a fake.

Jia Rong picked up the ashes in her nose, feeling unlucky, and stopped talking with her neck stuck.

Jia Zhen squinted her eyes and looked back at him, Jia Rong restrained her sneer.

Over there, Jia Lian was talking to Xue Pan, but he didn't notice this scene, but Lin Yu saw it clearly, and secretly sighed that Xue Pan's character was really capable of offending people, and even those who could be offended but those who could not be offended were all offended by him.

It's just that Lin Yu is only a foreigner, he didn't speak, he just drank in a muffled voice.

After eating for about half an hour, everyone left the table. After saying goodbye, Lin Yu went out.Not far after going out, I heard someone in front of me stop talking, it was Jia Zhen and Jia Rong.

It was Jia Zhen who had an old-fashioned voice, and she scolded him: "You are so impatient at the banquet, you can't even compare with that concubine, you have lost my face for nothing."

"Father, that Xue Pan is just talking nonsense. Jia Lian dares to scold me for nothing. If it wasn't for my aunt's help, where would he have a place in the house?"

These words were not polite at all, but Jia Zhen didn't reprimand him, but sneered: "Leave him alone, sooner or later."

After all, the father and son turned around.

The women in the back had already come out, and Sister Feng's laughter could be heard across the aisle. Jia Rong took a step behind and looked back, and met Sister Feng's eyes. Jia Zhen got in the car and left.

Lin Yu only felt that there was a lot of mystery here, so he just stood in the shadow of the tree and waited for someone to leave before going out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw Xue Pan was about to get into the car. Seeing him coming out, Xue Pan, who had held back the conversation with Lin Yu at the banquet, jumped out of the car immediately and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Brother Lin's demeanor remains the same."

It's hard for him to use such polite words, but Lin Yu's ears are harsh.He said: "There is nothing that is not as good as the old, but it has not improved."

Xue Pan smiled awkwardly after hearing this, knowing that Lin Yu was talking about him, but he didn't mind, so he just asked Lin Yu to get in the car.

Lin Yu was about to leave. There were quite a few houses in Lixiangyuan, and it was almost the same for the Xue family at this time. Lin Yu and Xue Pan went back on the same road, and Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue were still talking to the old lady in the house.

"Why didn't you see your uncle come with you?"

Lin Yu got into the car, sat down and said this.

Xue Pan said: "My uncle is still in Sichuan, so he can't come. I don't know about the dead ghost Feng Yuan yet. Even if he is at home, he can't send us here."

in Sichuan.

It's a nice place.

Lin Yu was a little anxious, not knowing what was going on in Sichuan—his 3 taels of silver was already hot in his pocket, but he didn't know when he would be able to spend it.

If you are in a hurry, you can't come in a hurry. He only comforted Xue Pan: "You didn't kill the person, so don't worry about getting angry. You and Jia Yucun still owe your uncle a kindness, so you can bear it."

Xue Pan said: "That's right. My uncle Fang was promoted to the Nine Provinces. How can Jia Yucun afford it? By the way, I heard that my cousin will return to Yangzhou in the future. Why don't you stay for a few more days?"

"The salute has been prepared, and I will return the next day. There is still an old father at home, so I dare not stay long."

Lin Yu knew that this Jia's mansion was not simple, and watching a play was also interesting, but he still had things to do.

It's just that Lin Yu at this moment never thought that he would encounter such a thing during his journey...
