[Red Mansion Qing Chuan] Lin Siye Marries a Daughter

Ning Chu, who was sitting in the front hall, was not wearing a royal robe, and was dressed in a blue shirt as elegant as water, but his slightly wrinkled heroic eyebrows made him a little anxious.

After meeting each other, before Lin Hai could ask, Ning Chu said slowly, "Master Lin must have heard about what happened in the palace." Nodding, Lin Hai said, "Yu'er just told me."

Ning Chu looked at Lin Hai with a pair of phoenix eyes, and the expression in his eyes was unpredictable: "My lord must understand the purpose of this king's visit here."

"For Yu'er."

"It should be said that it is for the sake of the lord and the princess." Ning Chu lowered his eyelids, and his long thick eyelashes covered the light in his eyes: "Master Lin also knows about Princess Yueyang, and now something happened to Xiang, if the other party doesn't want to If you let it go, then the next step may be the adults or the princess."

Lin Hai sneered, and said sarcastically: "Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. The prince is planning to wait like this." Ning Chu didn't make a sound, and glanced at Lin Hai with his dazzling eyes: "The authorities are fascinated, but the bystanders are clear, my lord Now that I am outside the situation, I may see it more thoroughly than this king, in my lord's opinion, this matter should..."

"Since we have missed the opportunity, let's strike later." Lin Hai's tone was calm, but the ruthlessness in his eyes was obvious: "The prince must know everything about the other party, if what happened last year was to prevent the prince from marrying Nanfu, Then the concubine's matter this time is probably a threat to the prince."

"Although the Shenwei General's Mansion is a big family, compared with the Nan Mansion, the difference is too great. What's more, the prince's side concubine is only the adopted daughter of the mansion, so this matter should have nothing to do with power, but the prince himself." After a pause, Lin Hai hit the nail on the head: "Maybe this is just a personal grievance and has nothing to do with the court situation."

Ning Chu raised his eyes involuntarily, and looked at Lin Hai quietly with deep eyes: "My lord is really sharp in seeing things, and this king has also thought about it. Ah Xiang is just a side concubine in the mansion, let alone an adopted daughter of General Shenwei's mansion. , if it is really for the purpose of alienating the king and the general's mansion, this step is too stupid."

Lin Hai twitched his lips expressionlessly: "It's good for the prince to understand. I believe many people know how the prince treats this side concubine, so it is not impossible to threaten the prince with the life and death of the side concubine."

Ning Chu nodded secretively: "Master Lin is very thorough, it seems that the king is going to meet someone." Lin Hai said flatly: "It's good that the prince can understand, my daughter has a few words that I want to pass on to the prince. She was very calm when she left, and she made an appointment to see her again at the Chu Palace, so this matter..."

"My lord understands, and please be careful, my lord and my concubine." Ning Chu took a few steps, then suddenly turned around, staring at Lin Hai with deep phoenix eyes: "My lord, there is something that this king has always wanted to know, but it has always been difficult to get what I want. , I wonder if adults know the place 'Hetuala'."

Lin Hai's gaze changed, and then he lowered his eyes, as if thinking for a while, before saying, "I've never heard of this place, but there may be a more detailed map in the palace, the prince might as well check it out."

Ning Chu nodded: "My lord reminds me that since my lord doesn't know, maybe I should go to the palace to have a look."

It wasn't until Ning Chu disappeared that Lin Hai sat down slowly, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the bright and dark lights, recalled what Ning Chu said just now, Lin Hai closed his eyes, sighed softly, and his thick black brows seemed to frown even deeper .

The ancestral hall of the imperial palace is on the northeast corner, surrounded by pines and cypresses, shaded by green bamboos, although it is midsummer, but when you walk in, you feel a little cool.

Seeing Ning Chu coming, the guarding eunuchs hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but Ning Chu didn't even look at it, but said indifferently: "This king, come and see His Royal Highness Seventh Highness, it's good that he's inside."

A clever little eunuch replied: "My lord, His Highness the Seventh Highness is copying scriptures every day except for meals." Ning Chu smiled coldly, and walked up the steps slowly: "You all step back, I have something to say to His Highness Seventh. explain."

Stepping in, the ancestral hall is not as bright as the usual room, but rather thick and gloomy. Ning Dong is standing beside the Buddha table, his round eyes shining with clear light as usual.

"Fourth brother, you came to see me, so I knew you would come." Ning Dong seemed to be the same as before, with a cheerful voice and sly eyes.

Ning Chu smiled slightly: "Of course we brothers will come to see you, Dong Qi, I'm still used to living here these two days."

"It's suffocating." Ning Dong exaggerated: "My hands hurt from copying books every day, and I can't go out to play, fourth brother, maybe I will go crazy in a few days."

After questioning and answering, the tone of the two of them was the same as usual, as if nothing had happened.

"These words are alarmist." Ning Chu looked up at the chubby and innocent Ning Dong: "Dong Qi, you have been able to bear it for so many years, but you can't bear it after a few days. Maybe it's someone else. I will believe it, but for the fourth brother...Dong Qi, among us brothers, you are the scariest person."

"Fourth brother, what's wrong with you? What does this mean?" Ning Dong blushed anxiously: "I know I'm wrong, blame me for being quick to talk, I shouldn't have told Wan Concubine about your drinking there, and hurt you The wine didn't finish either."

Ning Chu narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Ning Dong's round face: "Dong Qi, you know who the fourth brother is best, but the fourth brother knows nothing about who you are. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. At one point, I admit that I lost, but in the future..."

Ning Chu coughed softly: "Whether you want to continue like this or have to be reborn, I don't care, but you should remember one thing, our brotherhood ends here today, in the future, whether we win or win, we each I will not show mercy by means, and I believe you will not be sympathetic."

"Fourth Brother..." Ning Dong yelled and stopped, his round eyes were filled with a calmness that didn't match his age, he exhaled, Ning Dong said: "Okay, from now on we will be allies."

Ning Chu laughed at himself suddenly: "I used to think that I have experienced so many things. Although I am not perfect in knowing people and judging people, I can still be regarded as a proficient master. I didn't expect that I would end up falling on the people around me. It is really ridiculous to say it."

Ning Dong didn't make a sound, and looked at Ning Chu calmly with round eyes: "You are very smart and scheming, but you forgot to say, 'A tree is beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy it, pile it on the shore, The flow must be turbulent, the action is higher than others, and the crowd must be wrong...'Your mind is too obvious, so it is doomed to fail."

"Really, then we'll wait and see, but fourth brother still wants to thank you for your reminder, Dong Qi." Ning Chu's bright eyes swept over Ning Dong lightly, and then landed on the Buddha table in front of the window , picked up a piece of rice paper, and the painting on it was messy: "Li Buddha's emphasis is on calmness of mind. If you scribble like this, it is not only a blasphemy to the Buddhist scriptures, but also an insult to the imperial power. You said that if I go to tell the queen mother, will you I have to stay here for a few more days.”

Ning Dong stretched out his hand and was about to grab it, Ning Chu quickly took a step back: "Although you and I have already disagreed and are not conspiring with each other, I am not so heartless, Dong Qi, let me ask you, what is the matter with the side concubine Xiang?" You didn't do it."

Ning Dong's dizzy eyes rolled, and then he smiled: "The fourth brother came to see me because of this matter. I wondered that after that day, the fourth brother could still remember me as a brother. I was happy, but it turned out It's something else."

"Whether you believe it or not, even if there is no matter about Ah Xiang, I will come to see you. After so many years, you are not ignorant. No matter what I do, I have a beginning and an end. Even if we want to turn against each other, we must Give each other a clear message, and you say yes."

Ning Dong glanced at Ning Chu, nothing could be seen in Yuanyuan's eyes, and after a while he said, "I didn't do this." Ning Chu nodded, "I believe you."

The two of them didn't make a sound anymore, the eunuchs outside the window were talking about something, and the voices of laughter came in from time to time, which added a bit of embarrassment.

Ning Chu turned and walked out, and stopped at the door: "Dong Qi, after walking out from here, our relationship will be severed, see you later, each is an enemy, I will not soften my heart, and you don't have to show mercy." After finishing, Ning Chu left without looking back.

Behind him, Ning Dong stood there, the dappled sunlight covered the ground.

After ordering things in the mansion, Daiyu just sat down when Xueyan ran in excitedly: "Girl, go and have a look, the famous 'Yu Cui Xuan' in the capital brought a lot of jewelry, and said it was ordered by the housekeeper of the Chu Palace. Let the girl choose."

Daiyu glanced at Xueyan calmly, and said calmly: "You also know that I don't like these things usually, let Lin Bo watch and choose a few."

Zijuan said softly at the side: "Girl, what Zijuan said is that after the girl gets married, she will be the princess of Chu. I am afraid that going to the palace and going to the banquet will be indispensable. The girl has said before that people in the palace are always trampled on. I am a low-level person, so Zijuan thought that the girl should choose a few more pieces, which might be useful in the future, and besides, the girl is such a good person, and the prince will like it if she is paired with good-looking jewelry..."

"What do you think about all day, little girl?" Daiyu cast a sharp glance at Zijuan: "Now you talk like an old lady, babbling, that's all, I'll go and have a look, save the two of you Noisy in the ear."

After choosing the jewellery, before Daiyu took Zijuan and Xueyan to the yard, the nanny chased up from behind and said, "Girl, the shopkeeper of 'Bufeng Embroidery Village' came to the door in person and said that there are some new ones in the cloth village. It’s a good material, please go and choose the girl.”

Zijuan and Xueyan burst out laughing, and while laughing, Zijuan did not forget to say: "Girl, it seems that the prince can't wait to marry a girl, so he just chose jewelry and clothes."

Xueyan also laughed and said, "I don't know if we will choose a hijab later." Daiyu glared at the two of them bitterly, "Do you two want to be scolded?"

"I don't want to think about it." Zijuan and Xueyan said in unison: "We still have to accompany the girl to choose materials."

Daiyu sighed softly: "You two know how to make noise, and don't even think about it, how can you go to 'Bufeng Embroidery Village'." Thinking of Yangzhou, Zijuan and Xueyan couldn't help saying: "Miss , shall we go and meet the shopkeeper?"

Straightening her back, Daiyu said calmly, "Why didn't you see me? Now that you're in our house, can you still be afraid?"

Xiugu stood up from a long distance away, still with that familiar look: "Miss Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time, the girl's appearance is really more and more admirable."

Daiyu responded lightly: "The shopkeeper is getting more and more savvy, and he actually managed the business in our house." Xiu Gu smiled and said: "Look at what the girl said, I didn't obey the master's words, saying We got acquainted once, and the girl got married, so we had to congratulate her, gold, silver and jade are too vulgar, so the master said that it is our master's kindness to let the best embroiderer in the capital make some wedding dresses for the girl."

"Daiyu, the treasurer, please thank your master." Daiyu said softly: "It's just that you don't get paid for nothing. Daiyu knows that Master Jin is a famous "golden abacus" in the capital. I was calculated by others, where will I cry when the time comes."

Xiu Gu was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin really knows how to joke. If the master really wanted to plot against the girl, I believe she would not come here to invite the girl so openly. It was not Xiu Gu who spoke for the master. This time the master is really not a girl. Thinking like that, I want to return the girl's favor, and if the girl doesn't believe it, the master said that he can go there with the uncle."

"Thank you, master, for your kindness." Daiyu was unmoved: "If the shopkeeper is only here for this matter, then please go back, I won't go."

Xiugu pursed her lips and smiled: "Miss Lin is really a smart person. When the master said that the girl would not go when she came here, Xiugu still didn't believe it. I didn't expect that she was right. If the girl still doesn't go after hearing this sentence, Then Aunt Xiu had no choice but to say goodbye."

Leaning over, Xiugu whispered a few words beside Daiyu's ear, Daiyu's originally calm face couldn't help changing, she stared at Xiugu with clear eyes, and said in a low voice: "This is what your master asked you to tell me. mine."

Xiu Gu nodded: "Master said, if the girl is not moved after hearing these things, then he has nothing to say."

Standing there, Daiyu couldn't help clenching her hands, her tightly pursed lips trembled: "Okay, I'll go."

Sitting in the sedan chair, Xiugu's words seemed to be still ringing in her ears, making Daiyu uneasy: "Miss Lin, the master said that he had a letter written by Prince Chu in his hand, which mentioned the girl, and the master said that the girl is a sensible person. Don’t you want to know Prince Chu’s thoughts and purpose in marrying a girl to be his concubine? There is also a person in the embroidered village that the girl knows well, whether she sees or not, whether to go or not, the girl makes up her mind, and the master said before leaving In a word, please rest assured, if he wants to make things difficult for her, he doesn't need to go through such a lot of trouble."

Jin Zi is known as the "golden abacus", and he is naturally clever in trying to figure out people's minds, one by one, and Daiyu knows that he did it on purpose, but she has no choice but to go.

However, thinking of the several encounters with Jin Zi, although this person is shrewd and insidious, he can be regarded as a real villain, and everything is on the bright side, just like what he said, if you want to embarrass yourself, I'm afraid you don't need to do this It took a lot of trouble, but I just didn't know who the person he asked me to meet today would be.

She couldn't help raising the curtain, and Daiyu felt a little relieved when she saw Yunfeng's back on the horse.
