[Red Mansion Qing Chuan] Lin Siye Marries a Daughter

"Naji, it's none of your business for me to talk to her." Ning Dong angrily said to Naji who ran over: "The dog takes the mouse, mind your own business."

Naji raised her head, and said with an air of fearlessness: "I will take care of it, as long as it is your business, I will take care of it." Turning around, Naji said to Daiyu: "Miss Lin, don't worry about it. Don't promise him, just now he asked me to push away the Zicuckoo beside you, and I don't know what the hell he was going to do."

Daiyu looked at Ning Dong quietly with her beautiful eyes. Although she didn't make a sound, Ning Dong couldn't help scratching her head: "Miss Lin, don't listen to Naji's nonsense. Trust, you are a sensible person, you can make me...hehe"

"As a last resort, I was entrusted by others." Although Ning Dong's words were ambiguous, but for some reason, what flashed into Daiyu's mind was the confident look of Ning Chu just now. But it was a bit unreasonable, just relying on his methods, he would not be so stupid as to make such a bad plan just to get him to marry him, then he would not be the famous King of Chu, could it be that he was deliberately acting for others...

Seeing that Daiyu was in a trance, Ning Dong let out a sigh of relief: "Miss Lin, don't think about it, this matter has nothing to do with Fourth Brother, it's actually like this..."

"He made trouble on purpose." Naji deliberately shouted from the side: "Miss Lin, although I don't like you very much, but I tell you, don't trust Brother Seven, otherwise you will regret it." Deliberately made a face at Ning Dong: "See if you still dare to plot against me, I will ruin your business."

"Miss Lin, hey, what are you doing so fast?" Ning Dong rolled his eyes at Naji, and then chased after Daiyu: "Fourth brother asked me to take you back. If I can't do it, there will be some in the future." Trouble."

"You are really good brothers." Daiyu sneered coldly: "I have opened my eyes today. No one in this palace should believe it."

From a distance, Daiyu saw Zijuan standing at the door looking around, she let out a long sigh of relief, and said to Zijuan who came up to her, "You girl, you are so worried about me."

Zijuan didn't understand, so: "I'm still worried why the girl hasn't come back yet, fortunately, there is His Highness the Seventh." Ning Dong said with a smile: "With me by my side, no one can touch a single hair of your girl."

"Zijuan, let's go back." Daiyu ignored Ning Dong, turned around and left coldly, but Zijuan felt a little sorry: "Your Highness Seventh, why don't you come in and sit down."

Ning Dong smiled and waved his hands: "I still have something to do, I'll see you in a few days." After walking a few steps, Ning Dong suddenly turned around and said, "Hey, what does your girl like, I'm going out on business, I'll bring it back when I come back Let her play."

Zijuan smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, the seventh highness. The girl said that there is nothing missing here." "Hey, stupid, I won't grasp such a good opportunity. Forget it, I'm leaving."

"His Royal Highness, go slowly."

When Zijuan entered the room, she saw Daiyu standing quietly in front of the window, her graceful back showing a kind of desolation.

"Girl, what's the matter." Passing a cup of tea, Zijuan said softly, "Did His Highness the Seventh Prince make the girl angry again? In fact, the Seventh Highness has such a temper, and the girl doesn't know it."

Without making a sound, Daiyu turned her head and looked at Zijuan quietly: "Zijuan, please tell me what happened just now."

"What's the matter, girl? I went to the Sixth Princess Palace just now. After explaining my purpose, the mother gave me something. It turned out to be a simple and exquisite pot. I was in a hurry to come back, so I ran to the Palace of Compassion and Peace. I happened to meet His Highness the Seventh Prince, and he smiled and asked me where you were. After delivering the pot, I came back. Seeing that you hadn’t come back, I went to the door...Girl, what’s the matter, as soon as I came back, I felt your expression Not pretty."

"It's okay." Daiyu turned around concealingly: "After walking for such a long distance, I want to take a rest. If the princess asks, just say I'm not feeling well."

"Okay, that girl..." Before Zijuan finished speaking, she saw a servant girl running in in panic: "Miss Lin, Miss Lin, something happened."

Suddenly a thought flashed in front of her eyes, Daiyu said in a low voice: "What's wrong?" The servant girl looked at Daiyu in panic: "Miss Lin, something happened to Sister Yan'er."

The servant girl took a breath, and continued: "The fifth princess asked me to give a trick to the Compassionate Ning Palace. When I was walking back, I saw a few people around the North Lake, and someone was still fishing for something in the lake. I was curious, so I went Walking over, I saw Sister Yan'er lying there covered in blood."

"Is there anything wrong?" Daiyu knew it was unnecessary to ask, but she still had a little luck in her heart.

"Miss Lin, Sister Yan'er has already..." Closing her eyes, even though the maid hadn't finished speaking, Daiyu understood.

In fact, when Daiyu heard the eunuch's words just now, the first thing Daiyu thought of was Zijuan, but she forgot that Yan'er was with her that time. Sure enough, there will be no omissions when anything involves this deep and unpredictable palace. I am afraid that I am in this matter...

"From what they said, it seems that a court lady was found out because she stole the master's things. She was so shocked that she lost her mind and ran out with scissors in her hand. She happened to meet Sister Yan'er, so... everyone When I was chasing him, the court lady jumped into the lake in fright."

Slowly lowering her eyelids, Daiyu didn't make a sound, and Zijuan said with concern: "Girl, it's just a coincidence, Yan'er is also considered unlucky..." Without going on, Zijuan recalled the appearance of Yan'er in the past, with circles in her eyes Also red.

Daiyu's raised eyes were already filled with tears: "Zicuckoo, I'm actually really selfish. When I saw that you were fine, I was very glad..."

"Girl, what happened to you today, what happened?" Daiyu didn't say any more, she shook her head slowly, and went back to the inner room.

In front of the study window of Prince Ji's Mansion, Ning Chu stood there, pulling a bamboo leaf with his slender hand and putting it to his mouth, his leisurely voice made the originally silent room come alive.

"Yifeng, don't you want to give me an explanation?" Ji Wang Ningying is not tall, but he looks very mighty. Compared with Ningchu's elegance, he is a bit more rigid, holding the cup in his martial hand , exposing a few tendons.

"Second brother." Ning Chu turned back with firm eyes: "I don't know what she saw or heard, but I must keep this person."

"Yifeng." Ning Ying stood up suddenly: "This matter concerns my family and life. Don't tell me you don't even care about your brotherhood because of a woman. Besides, if I have something to do, it won't do you any good."

Without waiting for Ning Chu to argue, Ning Ying said harshly: "This person must not stay."

Ning Chu didn't panic, but turned around slowly, looking at Ning Ying quietly with eyes as bright as autumn water: "Second brother, listen to me first."

Taking a step forward, Ning Chu said: "I know that it must be very important to make the second brother do such a cruel thing, but I can guarantee that she will never say a word about this matter."

Stopping Ning Ying from opening his mouth, Ning Chu continued: "I once talked about Lin Shilang with my second brother. In Yangzhou two years ago, I admired his ability and means. , It was I who tried my best to tell the emperor, we spent so much energy, if we turned against each other because of his daughter, wouldn't we be in the trap of others and help others."

"Yifeng, that's all you think about, but why don't you think about it, if that woman tells the story..." "She won't tell." Ning Chu cut Ning Ying firmly: "I will do what I say, Don't worry, second brother, if there is such a day, I will definitely apologize by dying in front of second brother."

"Yifeng, don't say those unlucky words." Although Ning Ying has a rough temper, he is very affectionate: "I know what you mean, but..." Looking at Ning Chu, Ning Ying said: "Don't be afraid Just in case."

"There is no chance." Ning Chu said without hesitation: "There is no chance of this matter. I will ask the emperor to marry her as a princess. From now on, we will live and die together, and share honor and disgrace. She will not be so stupid that she will not even take care of her own." He did not hesitate to report on his life, so the second brother can rest assured that there is nothing wrong with this matter."

Ning Ying didn't make a sound, and looked at Ning Chu with slender eyes: "Yifeng, did you have this plan a long time ago?"

"Yes," Ning Chu admitted happily, "The matter about the second brother just made me have to put all my eggs in one basket in advance."

"Yifeng, tell the truth to the second brother, are you a father or a daughter?" Ning Ying looked rough, but his heart was very careful.

Ning Chu remained silent for a long time, and turned his back. His slender back showed an indescribable loneliness in front of the window. After a while, Ning Chu said in a low voice: "For more than ten years, I have been alone all day. Busy and busy, I suddenly feel a little tired, she is smart, self-willed, likes to be strong, has a sharp mouth and a soft heart, she may not be the best woman, but she is the most suitable woman for me."

Ning Chu's tone was calm, but Ning Ying inexplicably heard an unconcealable desolation, just like the loneliness of a wise man who has already experienced life and death when recalling the past, piercing his heart.

"She may not be the best woman, but she is the most suitable woman for me." Recognizing this sentence silently, Ning Ying felt a little crazy when he thought of the woman with a forced smile in the harem.

The faint fragrance of pear blossoms falling outside made the room a bit more charming. The two brothers were silent, only the big clock in the corner was ticking.

Turning around, Ning Chu suddenly bowed and bowed: "Yi Feng thanked the second brother for his success." He stepped forward to hold Ning Chu's hand, and Ning Ying said firmly: "We are brothers, you are welcome."

"Second brother, don't worry, she will keep her mouth shut."

Patting Ning Chu on the shoulder, Ning Ying smiled wryly and said, "No matter what happens in the future, since I promised you, I will not go back on my word."

"Second brother." Ning Chu opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it in the end, but nodded firmly: "Thank you."

As soon as Lin Hai returned to the mansion, he saw Lin Geng coming up to greet him: "My lord, the governor of the Prince of Chu's mansion personally sent the invitation." Lin Hai didn't make a sound, but stretched out his hand to take it, and said to Zhu Ling who was following him: "Zijing, follow me Go to the study."

Sitting on the chair, Lin Hai had the invitation card just received spread out in front of him, but looked at Zhu Ling: "Zijing, what do you think of the King of Chu?"

Zhu Ling thought for a while before saying, "I don't know if your lord is asking about life or status." Lin Hai straightened up, knocked on the desk, and said meaningfully: "Both."

Zhu Ling looked at Lin Hai with a calm gaze: "If you talk about a human being, the King of Chu has a deep scheming mind, clever means, and is versatile in both civil and military affairs. I heard that he could speak well when he was ten years old..."

Lin Hai said "Yes" with a blank face, and Zhu Ling continued: "Speaking of life, I must have learned from adults. The king of Chu is long-sleeved and good at dancing, and has a slick face. Among the princes, he is considered to be the best among the princes. A little humble, but in the eyes of the emperor, he is still the most outstanding. Many errands are arranged for him, and the king of Chu has lived up to his holy hope. Not long ago, he did not care about his status in the drought outside the city. The water was released to irrigate the fields, which won the praise of the people, and other princes and ministers had to follow suit, and the spring drought was finally resolved."

With a sneer, Lin Hai stood up: "I have made a job and gained a reputation. This skill is really clever." Zhu Ling nodded: "Yes, the king of Chu is indeed a character, maybe in the future..."

Without going on, Zhu Ling took a look at Lin Hai: "You must have been thinking about it." Lin Hai walked slowly to the window, looking at the dark sky outside: "I'm afraid there are some things that you and I can't control. It's been two years. There is always an explanation for this matter, compared to the young master who has no worldly knowledge and only knows Fengyue, he is still better, but..."

Turning around, Lin Hai said to Zhu Ling: "You send someone to bring a message to Yu'er, just say..." He gave a few instructions in a low voice, and seeing Zhu Ling's puzzled look, Lin Hai frowned: "Just tell me That's fine, I have my own idea.

Just as Zhu Ling took a few steps, Lin Hai suddenly called out again: "And you secretly sent someone to inquire about the details of the people around King Chu. Remember, it doesn't matter whether it's eunuchs or concubines."

"Yes." Zhu Ling responded and glanced at Lin Hai: "What does your lord mean?" Sighing, Lin Hai said: "To prevent accidents, it's better to act first."

Under the Qionghua tree in the Chu Palace, although the flowering period has passed, the petals that occasionally fall still carry a faint fragrance.The square table of red sandalwood, the cushion of the same color, Ning Chu's light clothes and gentle belt, with a shallow smile, set off the surrounding green trees and flowers, just like a fairy in a painting: "Master Lin, look at these viburnum flowers of this king. how."

Lin Hai glanced at it slowly: "I have long heard that Prince Chu is a smart man, and he is brilliant in his work. Today, seeing the fruit is true. A few seedlings have grown into a towering tree in less than two years. It is really admirable."

Ning Chu ignored Lin Hai's teasing: "No matter what method this king uses, Lord Lin, this king has not broken his promise, you see." After picking up a falling petal, Ning Chu turned his head, his bright eyes were quiet Looking at Lin Hai carefully: "No matter where you are, as long as you have the heart, all kinds of flowers will bloom, the servant said, right?"

Lin Hai said indifferently: "The words of the prince reminded Ruhai of an allusion, a song written by Emperor Wu in the past, "You Shangyuan in the Ming Dynasty, and the spring will be announced quickly, and the flowers will bloom overnight, don't wait for the dawn wind to remind you." "Let hundreds of flowers bloom overnight, it can be seen that since ancient times, no matter the time and place, the imperial power is like the sky."

Ning Chu smiled slightly: "Master Lin is saying that this king uses power to overwhelm others." Sitting down, Ning Chu picked up the wine pot himself: "Today, there are only this king and his servant. Come, this is the fine wine from the royal tribute, with a clear fragrance. It's mellow, the waiter has a taste."

After pouring a drop, he raised the pot and paused, then filled the wine glass again. Ning Chu's movements were graceful, his slender hands matched the shiny jade pot, and the faint aroma of wine and flowers was refreshing.

Seeing that Lin Hai didn't make a sound, but just stared at the jade pot in his hand, Ning Chu laughed at himself and said, "Could it be that Mr. Lin thinks that the king's feast today is a Hongmen banquet, and this wine is..."

After waking up, Lin Hai's expressionless face was rarely moved: "Since I can come, I don't have to worry about whether it's a feast at the Hongmen or drinking wine."

Picking up the cup, Lin Hai looked at Ning Chu, who was as gentle as jade in front of him, and said casually: "I saw the prince pouring wine just now, and there is a tendency to suppress first and then rise."

Ning Chu smiled: "Master Lin laughed at the habit I developed." Lin Hai didn't ask any more, but slowly lowered his eyelids: "Yes, some habits become natural after a long time."

Ning Chu played with the cup: "When I was in Yangzhou, this king admired the servant's conduct. Now that the servant has come to Beijing, it can be regarded as a complete merit. Come, Lord Lin, let's have a drink. From now on..."

Ning Chu didn't continue, but curled the corners of his mouth meaningfully: "The servant is a sensible person, so I don't think I need to explain it clearly."
