[Red Mansion Qing Chuan] Lin Siye Marries a Daughter

Lin Hai looked at the woman in front of him expressionlessly. Her fair face, slender eyebrows, and pointed chin made her look a little old. Compared with Cuiqiao's charm, this Aunt Mao was much inferior. .

"Master, my cousin was wronged." Aunt Mao looked at Lin Hai: "Master..."

Lin Hai snorted, and said coldly: "I've only been ill for a few days, and some people don't take the rules seriously. It seems that this mansion has really been rectified." Standing up, Lin Hai waved his sleeves, She raised her body and left without even looking at Aunt Mao who was kneeling on the ground.

"Master..." Aunt Mao still refused to give up and shouted: "Master, this matter was framed from beginning to end, my concubine and cousin are really innocent."

Without looking back, Lin Hai's cold voice came over: "It's black or white, and I don't need my aunt to justify it. Lin Geng, people who don't follow the rules, you know what to do."

"Master, my concubine..."

"Lin Geng, do I have to say it a second time?" Lin Hai's voice was indifferent, with a natural awe that made people feel a bit of chill even in this sunny afternoon.

"Yes, master." Lin Geng turned around and said to the people behind him: "Didn't you hear what the master said, shut Auntie into the woodshed and wait..."

"Auntie, Auntie..." A little girl ran in in a panic, seeing so many people in the yard, she was too scared to speak.After reacting, the little maid hurriedly knelt down: "Slave, please greet the master." Lin Geng said bitterly: "What happened to be so flustered."

The little girl trembled and said: "Yingzi in Auntie's room fell into the water and died." When Aunt Mao heard the news, she collapsed on the ground, her face pale: "Why did it happen like this?"

Lin Geng stepped forward and said a few words to Lin Hai in a low voice, then stepped aside.It turns out that Yingzi who died was the maid who delivered the burden mentioned by Du Zhong just now. She is the most direct witness for today's incident. Who knows...

Standing there, Yinzhen's face was stern, and his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: First, he planted the blame, then the red apricot got out of the relationship, and finally murdered him. This matter is intertwined and pressing every step of the way. It seems that this backyard is not simple...

Lowering his eyelids, Yinzhen's eyes flashed a trace of sharpness: "Lin Geng, you tell me, those who know about today's affairs and report to the government will be rewarded, and those who do not report will be guilty of the same crime."

"Same crime." Lin Hai bit the two words hard, and the low consonant also carried a bit of ruthlessness, which made the servants who originally thought that the master would not live long shiver.

The night fainted, and the light shone on Cuiqiao's still charming face: "Xiao Hong, why did the master lock Aunt Mao in the firewood house instead of driving her out, since the master sent the stick to the official? It's a shame for a man."

Xiaohong handed the water: "Maybe it's for the sake of the old lady. After all, Aunt Mao is considered to belong to the old lady. She doesn't look at the monk's face, but the Buddha's face."

With a sneer, Cuiqiao said: "You still don't understand the master. Although he usually looks easy-going, deep down he is still very stubborn. There must be a reason for this."

"Auntie, could it be that the master suspects something, that's why..." Xiao Hong looked around, and whispered: "This servant always feels that the master has been terrified from a distance since he woke up. "

"I heard from the old man that when someone is about to die, they often behave differently than usual. I'm afraid the master..."

Looking up at Cuiqiao, Xiaohong hesitated for a moment: "The slave girl seems to be fine when she sees the master's body, why would my aunt think so..."

Cuiqiao pulled up the veil to cover her mouth, and coughed dryly: "I overheard what Dr. Hu said that time, and the master just asked them to pick up the girl, so I guessed that, you think, the girl lives there for a long time. Alright, if the master is fine, how could it be... besides, if the master is really fine, wouldn't it be better."

Although Xiaohong was holding the lantern, she seemed to hear the insincere words in Cuiqiao's words, she thought for a while and said, "What my aunt said is that if the master is really...then this house will be defeated."

Looking at Cuiqiao sensibly, Xiaohong said hesitantly: "Auntie, how could Sister Yingzi..." "I don't know, I'm also wondering, if I knew this earlier, I could save those few pieces of jewelry."

Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a condescending way: "Maybe I accidentally fell into the water..."

"You girl, don't worry, pack your things first." Cuiqiao stood up, staggeringly said: "I'm going out to get some air, this room is too stuffy, maybe it will rain again at night."

The backyard of the Lin Mansion is not too big, and it was a bit deserted in the night. Cuiqiao walked a few steps along the stone path, and suddenly there was the sound of footsteps coming from the front, as if someone was coming this way, she hesitated, Cuiqiao Lift your feet and hide in the bushes.

"Silly hoof, don't talk nonsense, this black light is really infiltrating." A crisp voice said coquettishly: "You forgot, that time you scolded Yingzi behind her back, be careful that she comes to settle accounts with you."

"Don't do bad things for people, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door at night, you should think about yourself, who secretly met a man at night... Be careful to let the housekeeper know and drive you out of the house."

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't have one." The two little girls said as they walked, "Xiao Tao, you said that Aunt Mao really knows...why do I think she doesn't look like that."

"Who knows? Didn't you say that you know people, know faces, but don't know your heart? Besides, we all know that the master is already seriously ill, and he even sent someone to pick up the girl. Isn't it obvious that no one in the house is secretly planning. The night before yesterday, I When I delivered the medicine to the master, I heard the master tell the master in the room, although he is very sick now, but I know it clearly in my heart, if the illness recovers, I will definitely settle the score after autumn."

"Really, then we'd better serve you carefully." "That's right, you should restrain yourself from now on, and don't let people catch you." Xiaotao said in a low voice: "And don't let others know these words, Yingzi Isn't that a lesson."

"Let's stop talking, let's go find something in the kitchen." Hearing the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther away, Cuiqiao leaned out and felt her feet go weak.

Holding on to the pillars of the porch for a while, Cuiqiao's heart finally calmed down. The conversation just now seemed to be still echoing in her ears, "Don't think he is seriously ill now, but I know in my heart that if he recovers, he will definitely settle his score after autumn." .”

After thinking about it, Cuiqiao hurriedly walked to the front yard, not caring that the night was getting dark, her skirt raised a bit flustered.

Early in the morning, just after Lin Hai finished washing, he heard Lin Geng say outside: "Master, Lin Geng has something to report." Lin Hai frowned, and said to the waiter, "Back off."

Lin Hai sipped his tea, and sat there quietly until Lin Geng finished speaking, but he didn't make a sound, and his thin face remained motionless.

"Master, the servant only said that the person he saw seemed to be Steward Li from the accountant. She couldn't see clearly from a distance." Lin Geng continued to serve Lin Hai with tea: "Master, look..."

Lin Hai said slowly: "Don't say anything about this, that Li..." "Back to the master, Li Ming only entered the mansion after we came to Yangzhou. At the beginning, the master was for the sake of fellow villagers, but he has been in the mansion all these years." , he is okay, and there is no mistake in doing things..."

Lin Hai snorted coldly: "With my aunt's brain, I'm afraid I haven't been able to set up such a well-planned game. I would like to meet Li Ming. Lin Geng, find a reason in two days, and you will call Li Ming. Come."

"Yes, master." Lin Geng paused: "Then this matter..." "Wait and see." Lin Hai said slowly: "In case of trouble, we must not only cut the weeds, but also not leave the roots behind."

"Yes." Lin Geng took a peek at Lin Hai, feeling more and more in awe of this master in his heart. After a person dies once, he can change so much.

"I've been sick for the past few days, and you've been tired. Those two things on the table are my reward." Lin Hai pointed to the box on the table and said to Lin Geng.

"Master, you can't help it. This is a slave's job, and it should be." "I'll take the reward if I say so." Looking up at Lin Geng, Lin Hai's eyes were cold. "Yes, Lin Geng, thank you, Master." Facing Lin Hai's gaze, Lin Geng always felt a kind of involuntary awe.

Give both kindness and strength, and give consideration to both soft and hard, this is Yinzhen's way of employing people.

Picking up the cup and taking a sip of tea, Lin Hai said again: "Young lady will be back in a few days." "If there are no accidents, it will only be two days. Master, don't worry, the weather is right now, and the boat is very safe." Lin Geng She smiled and said: "If the girl sees that the master is in good health, she must be very happy."

Nodding, Yinzhen didn't make a sound, but she felt more yearning for Lin Haimeng's daughter in another world who had been entrusted and exhorted thousands of times.

In the previous life, although Yinzhen was the emperor, he didn't have many heirs. Only one of the four daughters survived, but she died young, so in Yinzhen's heart, the daughter is a vague impression.

"The girl has been away for five years, and I'm afraid she will grow up to be a big girl when she comes back this time." Lin Geng has been in the mansion for many years, so he naturally knows: "I remember that when the girl just left, the master often went to the riverside to have a look. Madame...the girl doesn't have to leave home at such a young age."

He already knew everything about Yinzhen of the Lin family from Lin Geng, but what he was thinking about was how to arrange for Lin Daiyu to come back this time, whether to send her back to Jia's mansion or stay with her.

"My lord, Wang Yi, the history of salt administration, is visiting." A servant's announcement came from outside the door.

"Wang Yi." Lin Hai stood up, and the words of master Zhu Ling flashed in his mind: "My lord, this Wang Yi is related to my lord. He is a branch of the Jinling royal family, and my lord's Yue family, Jia's family and Wang family It can be regarded as the same spirit, so...but it is quite far away, and my lord seems to have mentioned it before, this lord Wang looks honest and honest on the surface, but behind the scenes we don't know."

As Zhu Ling said, Wang Yiguo is short and fat, with slender eyebrows and slender eyes when he smiles: "I have met Mr. Lin, and I am really happy to see Mr. Lin's complexion." Desecrating official duties, Mr. Wang has worked hard."

Wang Yi hurriedly said: "Where, this is what a lower official should do." After a pause, Wang Yi continued: "The lower official hastily came to disturb your lord, because you have something to report to your lord, and the lower official heard that the emperor sent a police officer to investigate. The court attendant Yushi is inspecting the two Huaihe Rivers, and he will be in Yangzhou in the past few days."

Looking up at Wang Yi, Lin Hai's thin face was still calm: "This matter seems to have nothing to do with the Yanzheng..." "Yes, yes." Wang Yi hurriedly continued: "It really has nothing to do with us. The official is just talking casually, my lord..."

Wang Yi hadn't finished speaking when he heard hurried footsteps outside, and then someone said: "Master Lin, Mr. Wang, the imperial envoy caught the salt smuggling boat by the river, please go over."

"Really." Wang Yi looked at Lin Hai in panic: "My lord, what should I do?" Lin Hai calmly glanced at Wang Yi, and a light flashed in his slightly narrowed eyes: "In this case, Mr. Wang , let's take a look."

Before he could leave the door, he saw Lin Geng running over in a hurry: "Master, master, girl...something happened to the girl's boat."
