The Red House Returns the Pearl Lin's Home

Coming out of Jiamu's courtyard, the three of them returned to the inverted Baoxia hall. Lin Daiyu asked the four maids, Mulian, Yujin, Songyin, and Baikou, to guard outside to prevent outsiders from entering. She gently pulled the corner of her brother's clothes, He whispered: "What happened, Ziyu really beat Miss Xue's brother?"

"It's really a beating, not a light one." Lin Lu sprinkled a handful of tea leaves into the teapot, and asked her big maid Ning Xin to fetch boiling hot water, then kicked him out and rushed to the tea ceremony , "One leg is broken, I'm afraid there are injuries elsewhere, anyway, I look very hideous and terrifying."

Lin Daiyu raised her brows slightly, and asked, "What on earth did Miss Xue's brother say that made Zi Yu angry? If he really did it harshly, why would others say we don't know how to be polite?"

"It's nothing, let anyone who likes to talk let him talk. Anyway, you have seen it. Grandma and uncle both know that we are right. In the future, there will be a noise, and we will talk about it for the world. The reason is still on us. . Besides, Xue Yan gave it like that, they were the mother who broke the mouth on the house and said that we were rude, but it was cheap verbally. Lips, lifted a corner of the teapot lid, saw that the tea leaves were almost boiling, first took a teacup and poured a full cup for Lin Lin.

Lin Lin saw that the teacup in front of her didn't move, she slightly raised her eyebrows and looked sideways at Lin Lu.

The latter spread his hands to show his innocence, but seeing that he still didn't believe it, he could only curl his lips and explain: "You are the number one hero for being able to speak out so badly at Xue's family today, and the young master was very happy, so I poured it for you first. "Virtue, it's rare to treat him well once, and he doesn't appreciate it.

Lin Lin glanced at Lin Lu suspiciously. Seeing that he did not seem to be lying, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Lin Daiyu saw that the two of them didn't want to say more about the conflict with Xue Pan. She is a smart person, so she didn't ask any more questions, and gently let go of this question, and asked another question: "At noon today, What's wrong with my brother, his expression is very strange, but what's wrong with the tea that Miss Xue sent? Or is there something wrong with the ginseng Yangrong pill in the house?"

Lin Lu's reaction at noon was indeed unusual. Lin Daiyu was as careful as a hair, and naturally felt a little strange, especially when Xue Pan went out vertically and carried him back sideways that afternoon.

She originally called Xue Baochai "Sister Xue", but now she has taken a step back and changed it to "Miss Xue".

Lin Lu coughed lightly. She had expected that she would ask this question, and she had already planned her speech in her heart. Although some words were not suitable for a daughter in the boudoir, but because it was a matter of safety, she really didn't want her sister to be ignorant. Being deceived, he simply said: "You have grown up too, I will not hide some things from you, let's just say it, whether it is tea or ginseng Yangrong pills, there are problems."

Lin Lu paused for a moment, and seeing Lin Daiyu's suspicious face, she further explained: "Ginseng Yangrong Pill is originally a medicine for treating qi and blood deficiency and enhancing the function of the spleen and stomach. Red ginseng is used as medicine, and the pills sent by Rongguo Mansion are white ginseng with cool nature. If you use it for a long time, it will cause your body to become exhausted and your heart will fail, especially for you, it will be even more harmful."

Even though Lin Daiyu knew it well, she was still shocked when she heard these words. Thinking of the origin of these two objects, she felt her chest constricted, her mind was dizzy, and she was about to fall down.

Lin Lu was startled, she hurriedly supported her, patted her on the back to help her calm down, and shouted to order Lin Lin to bring tea, but Lin Daiyu was just shocked and sad for a while, she fainted for a while, and she passed out after a while. Youyou woke up, looked at her brother blankly, her eyes gradually became moist.

Lin Lu patiently wiped away her tears by grabbing the corner of her sleeve, and waited quietly for a while. Seeing that her sister was almost crying, she gently persuaded her: "It's not worth it. They don't treat us as relatives, so naturally we don't need to." Caring about the love of relatives, weeping for this kind of person, and damaging the body, why bother?"

Lin Daiyu shook her head again and again, pushed him away and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said in a mournful voice: "Brother, needless to say, I already understand, what kind of relative is that kicker? I just think of the happy family scene when my father and mother were alive in the past, that is the real blood relatives, and the whole family is happy. Now it is only a few years ago, and both parents have passed away, leaving us brothers and sisters alone. There is no one to rely on in the world, so we say that it is a matter of face, but now we don't even care about face, and lay down our hands to put us to death..."

Hearing what she said, Lin Lu was not aroused any sorrow, but instead grinned: "It's fine if my sister is not sad because of them. These things are not worth taking to heart. As long as we understand in our hearts, what are these people? Shit, with precautions, relying on us brothers and sisters, can we really let them bully you? You see, today my brother beat up the dead boy surnamed Xue. Find faults and pick thorns and beat him up."

Lin Daiyu knew that he was sincerely teasing her, so she forced the corners of her lips to curl up, and said angrily, "My brother is still so unscrupulous. Look at the appearance of Mrs. Xue and Miss Xue today. They are also very pitiful. If I didn’t succeed, it’s fine for my brother to punish me a little bit, and it’s not worth the trouble for him, if we beat him every other day, we’ll let the ignorant people outside pick us up.”

Although Lin Daiyu was angry and cold-hearted about the actions of Xue's family, seeing Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai crying like tears today, pitiful appearance, she also understands Lin Lin's personality, and knows that Xue Pan must be seriously injured. Her brother suffered such an injury, her heart should also be in pain like a knife, but the resentment and resentment in her heart were reduced by half.

"How can it be? If my sister wants me to teach Xue Pan a lesson, of course there is a more subtle way. It won't be as clear as today. It's just a small trick, so that he won't suffer like this again." Lin Lu I personally brought her a cup of hot tea and said with a smile, "Besides, today is not all about your affairs, and I am not so cruel, but I just plan to make him suffer from a bruised nose and a swollen face, that's all. Who would have thought that he wanted to die by himself and offended the monk, so he took a heavy hand just now."

He didn't say a word, what Lin Lin did was not a heavy hand at all, but a dead hand. If Hai Lancha hadn't helped Xue Pan, the person lying in Lixiangyuan would be a dead person.

Lin Daiyu felt relieved, and went to look at Lin Lin. She wanted to ask Xue Pan how he had provoked him. Remembering the avoidance attitude of the two people before, she pressed the button, and only persuaded: "Ziyu doesn't have to worry about Miss Xue. My brother is angry, he is a muddleheaded person. I heard people say that he is the most stupid and stupid. When he was in Jinling, he was jealous because of a maidservant. He seemed to have killed someone and caused disaster. , I just went to Beijing with my family, one is for Miss Xue to be elected, and the other is to avoid disaster."

She had no intention of speaking, but Lin Lu paid attention, leaned forward, and asked carefully, "Where did my sister hear this?"

"Bai Kou heard Yinger mention it by chance when she was chatting with Miss Xue's big maid." Lin Daiyu saw that his expression was slightly strange, her heart moved slightly, and she asked in a low voice, "Is there anything wrong? ? When the turmoil of this conflict is over, do you need me to ask Bai Kou to ask Yinger for more details?"

Lin Lu thought for a while, then turned to look at Lin Lin with questioning eyes, saw that the latter was still half-dead, sipping tea with a cold face, gritted her teeth, turned back to her sister and said, "Forget it, it's not like usual now, we're already on the same page. The Xue family has torn their faces, if Bai Kou beats the grass and scares the snake, it will not be beautiful."

Lin Daiyu nodded, secretly remembering it in her heart, and did not press it for the time being.

Coming out of Jia's mother's room, Wang Xifeng first went to Lixiangyuan, helped Aunt Xue and others to settle Xue Pan, ordered the servant girl to bring good wound medicine, and comforted Xue's mother and daughter. It was late at night before I returned to my room.

It was Shi Ping'er who had already served Jia Lian to sleep, and stood waiting at the door. Seeing Wang Xifeng coming back, he quickly served hot tea and said, "Second Mistress, take a rest and go to serve the old lady at noon. It's only now." If you are free, grandma should pay more attention to your body."

"I really want to take a break. Something big happened today. The old lady is urging the second wife to force me. Where can I be lazy?" Wang Xifeng pushed the teacup away, sat on the chair and leaned against the pillow, half-closed her eyes, "That What about the enemy?"

"Second master fell asleep, and my sister was also carried by grandma." Ping'er asked softly, "Don't hide it from grandma, I heard that Uncle Xue of Lixiangyuan asked Second Master Lin to beat him up?"

"The news spreads fast, you already know?" Wang Xifeng curled her moist red lips mockingly and contemptuously, "Good things don't go out, but bad things spread far and wide, those old women with bad mouths in our house should also be rectified. "

"It has been spread all over the whole house, there is no way to hide such a big matter." Ping'er saw that her face was exhausted, and she was a little weak, so she hurriedly said, "I'll take care of grandma and rest."

"What's the hurry, we haven't finished this matter yet." Wang Xifeng sighed, "That's right, the second master was alarmed, and almost started fighting with the Lin brothers."

"It's okay to talk about it tomorrow, grandma, go to sleep, tomorrow is also full of things, when you are free, it's the same to tell me again."

Wang Xifeng saw that she was serious and serious, and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "You care about me, it doesn't matter, I just make people cry, but I don't do any heavy work. Let's get started , I have a lot to say, but you don't listen."

When she talked about this, Ping'er couldn't say anything more, so she could only say: "Then grandma, I will listen."

"Brother Xue was indeed beaten by the second boy surnamed Lin. The beating was not serious. One leg was broken, and there were countless wounds on his body. When I came, I was still lying on the bed and screaming in pain." Wang Xifeng She shook her head as she said, "It's not my fault that my aunt is crying like a tearful person. She really looked pitiful. I took a look and couldn't bear it."

"Second master Lin has such a cruel hand? Even if you don't look at the second wife's face, you should also think about the old lady? The Lin family and the Xue family are all living in our house. If you look up and look down, they fell out. It would be difficult for us to be caught in the middle." Ping'er only met Lin Lin by chance when she followed Wang Xifeng to Baoxia Hall to deliver something to Lin Daiyu, and thinking about it now, she couldn't help saying, "Looking at the gentleness of Second Master Lin, It looks good, it's very different from those rough warriors, I didn't expect it to be a ruthless horn."

"Where is this? They also said that this time is only a warning, and next time they will directly screw Brother Xue's head off." Wang Xifeng recalled the situation during the confrontation in the afternoon and found it a bit inconceivable. There are many madmen and fools in China, but Lin Lin dared to say such cruel words in front of Jia Zheng, who was holding a stick high.

Ping'er was also very surprised, and while beating Wang Xifeng's back, he asked: "Then why did Uncle Xue provoke him, shouting like this?"

A strange smile appeared on Wang Xifeng's face, he looked at Ping'er, and said in a low voice: "Of course there is a reason for this, otherwise Brother Xue is beaten up like this, not to mention how my aunt is willing to give up, the second master should also teach me a lesson." Lin's second cousin, it just so happens that the Xue family really didn't respond to this matter, no matter how angry my aunt is, she can only endure it."

At the end, Wang Xifeng flicked the veil and said with a sneer: "It's a good thing I didn't take you there, and I didn't dirty my ears. I still feel sick when I think about it now. I dare to touch my relatives."

Of course, there are quite a few masters in the Ningrong Second Mansion who have done this kind of thing. Jia Zhen can't keep it clean anyway, but at least they didn't make a fuss in the open and let people hold it in their hands.

Ping'er could guess the general idea after hearing it, so she stopped asking, and sighed: "Although the Xue family is wrong, but after such a commotion, the two families will eventually become estranged, and it may be nothing to them. In the middle, what should I do?"

Although Wang Xifeng didn't think that the Lin family brothers could really have much promise, after all, it was Jia Lian who deliberately brought it up, even if it was just for the harmony and harmony of the husband and wife relationship, she couldn't ignore it, so she has been deliberately showing to the Lin family during this period of time. good.

Ping'er is Wang Xifeng's only remaining personal servant girl. The two of them usually stay close to each other, so they naturally understand her little tricks in private, and know that she wants to have a good relationship with the Lin family. However, the Xue family has a more blood relationship than the Lin family. In the same situation as fire and water, it might not be easy for Wang Xifeng to please both sides.

"Let's take one step at a time. Who knows what will happen if things don't come to an end. Maybe the two families will reconcile tomorrow?" Wang Xifeng didn't feel relieved, and complained to Ping'er to express her negative emotions. Feeling exhausted, he said, "Okay, it's getting late, you should go to bed earlier, I can't hold it anymore, so I'll go to bed first."

Ping'er hurriedly helped her up and opened the curtain.

As soon as the two of them entered the inner room, they met Jia Lian's eyes. Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, then looked sideways at Ping'er, with a little reproach: "Didn't you say that the second master is asleep?"

"It doesn't bother her. I've been busy with the family visitation all day. I'm really sleepy and tired. I waited for you for a long time. I squinted for a while and woke up just now. Seeing that you were still talking, I didn't make a sound." Jia Lian Sitting up, she took the padded jacket on the bed and put it on, sighed, "You told me something happened in the house, how can I sleep in peace."

"It's not a big deal, it won't involve the second master anyway, so go to bed quickly." Wang Xifeng saw that his eyes were dark and his face was tired, and he felt distressed, and his voice softened a lot.

"I've heard you talking, so I'll just ask, is this thing over, and no one from the government came to ask?" Although Jia Lian was extremely sleepy, he rubbed his eyes with a solemn expression.

Since the two got married, Wang Xifeng had never seen him do such a solemn thing several times. Although he didn't understand the reason, he paid more attention to it, and said: "No one came, what's the matter, Second Master?"

"Where did these two groups of people meet and fight again?" Jia Lian asked again.

This Wang Xifeng really didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, everyone was beaten, and the injuries were not the same everywhere. When Aunt Xue yelled, she only said "have pity on me and let the Lin family boy beat me" instead of "have pity on me Where and where did I call the Lin family kid?" After thinking about it carefully, I still didn't have the slightest impression: "Second Master's words really stumped me, why don't I send someone to ask immediately?"

"Don't send someone over there to ask about this." Jia Lian thought for a while, then sighed, "Forget it, I'll just call a young man over tomorrow, the young man around Brother Xue is not reliable, let alone this It’s not important news, you’ll know as soon as you ask.”

Wang Xifeng heard it even more strangely, frowned and said: "Second Master has confused me, since it's not important news, why bother asking people?"

"It really doesn't matter to them," Jia Lian raised his head and yawned, rubbing his eyes with his hands, "It's just that I thought that Cousin Lin always goes to Jiamushe Teahouse on weekdays, and this teahouse is in the capital city. The most famous property, I heard it mentioned by chance, is the governor of the Jiangnan River and the governor of Yungui, Mr. Aibida. If Brother Xue really got into trouble with the second cousin Lin in this teahouse, interfering with the normal business of the teahouse, With the strength of Jia Mushe's backstage, he must not be willing to let it go."

Jia Lian raised his eyes to see Wang Xifeng's face, and added meaningfully: "Take a step back, even if they didn't start a conflict in Jiamushe, this place is at the foot of the emperor, and there are people making trouble in the street. , there is no movement at all?"

"However, the expressions of the two cousins ​​of the Lin family are as usual, and there is no sign of being troubled." Wang Xifeng is also a very smart person, and after a little dialing by him, he immediately understood, "I'm afraid this matter is suppressed."

"That's right, there must be someone helping out, but let me ask you, once this happened, with the Second Master as a person, both parties must be angry and would not help either party. Since it wasn't our family who helped, who is helping in the dark?" Jia Lian looked solemn, staring straight at the tip of Wang Xifeng's face, "Could it be that they have made friends with high-ranking officials when they came to the capital?"

Wang Xifeng raised his eyes to look at Jia Lian, who sighed slightly, not to mention Wang Xifeng, even he didn't believe it, if he could settle the matter without any rumors, then he was no ordinary official, with a title as empty as Rongguo Mansion It's not enough, it must be an official with real power.

Although the capital city is under the foot of the emperor, there are many talented people, and the officials above the third rank are not the Chinese cabbages sold on the street. They are trying to please others, but they have no way out. How can Lin Lu climb up to one of them when he goes out to drink tea and play?

But if you don't think so, then who is helping the Lin family?

Seeing that the two masters were both suffering from headaches, Ping'er waited quietly for a while before interjecting: "I'm afraid the second master and the second grandma are wrong, they may not be new friends. Uncle Lin has been an official in the court for twenty years. There must always be some old friends. Uncle Lin has a high official position, and his friends are not bad if he thinks about it. After so many years of colleagues, if the young master of the Lin family asks for it, those people will not push it away."

When Jia Lian heard this, he suddenly felt enlightened. He slapped his thigh heavily and said happily, "You can see it clearly, yes, there is a possibility of eighty to ninety percent!"

Wang Xifeng turned her head to the side with a smile that was not a smile, and saw Ping'er's face hanging down, very well-behaved, and looked at Jia Lian, seeing that he was just full of joy, so she had to suppress the jealousy in her heart for the time being, twisted her handkerchief and said with a smile: " It's really Xie Yuhua, who helped your second master a lot!"

Jia Lian pretended not to hear the sarcasm in her words, but was still very happy, and said: "This makes sense, but it's a pity that there is no second official in our family, and the second master is not ordinary, otherwise This is also a network of contacts, which can be managed."

It's a pity in the end, the brothers of the Lin family are living in Rongguo Mansion at this time, if they ask my uncle's old friend for something, they won't be able to refuse, but it's a pity that they don't have anyone to mention, although With the network of making friends, it can only be wasted.
