The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

Situ Lan acted resolutely, and quickly investigated all the ministers who were secretly colluding with King Zhongzhong. Those who should be arrested, and those who should be tried, made many dignitaries in Beijing panic.

The Rongning Second Mansion, which had been prominent in Beijing for many years, is now closed with a seal on it, and only a small door at the corner is left open.There are guards in front of the mansion, with long knives on their waists and distinctive armor. They are not servants of the Ministry of punishment, but soldiers of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division.

Rongning Street, which used to be bustling and bustling, is now deserted.

When Lin Yan returned to the mansion, the old butler Lin Cheng greeted him, and said in a low voice, "Grandma is back."

Daiyu?

Lin Yan smiled, "Only my aunt? Did you bring the child?"

"Back to the uncle, the two cousins ​​are both brought." Lin Cheng thought of Daiyu's two snowball-like precious sons, and couldn't help but narrow his old eyes, "I haven't seen you for a long time, this old servant is watching, The two young masters seem to have grown up a lot. When they entered the mansion today, they still smiled at the old slave, it's really... hey!"

Lin Yan patted him on the shoulder and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Before entering the yard, I heard the laughter of the little girls inside.Turning around the moon cave gate, Daiyu's two sons, Yunze and Yunrui, were both in the courtyard.The two children are very similar in size and appearance, if they are not familiar with each other, it is really difficult to tell them apart.

Lin Yan walked over with a smile, and the two little babies who were learning to walk on the ground looked up at him, their black grape-like eyes were watery and clear, very much like their mother.

"Brother is back."

Daiyu was originally sitting on a bamboo chair in the corridor, but when she saw Lin Yan, she hurriedly stood up.

Lin Yan saw that her head was rolled up with black hair, a jasper butterfly hairpin was inserted on her head, and drop-shaped pendants hung from her ears, which swayed slightly with her movements, and she looked really good.However, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her beautiful eyes were full of worry. Without thinking about it, she knew that she must have heard about the Rongguo Mansion.

"I've been busy these days, so I didn't bother to visit you in your house. Where's my brother-in-law? Did you go to the palace to worship?"

Daiyu nodded, shook her head again, and said softly: "Master Hou is in the camp and hasn't returned to the mansion for a few days. I also entered the palace according to the regulations, but later the queen mother became unwell, so I stayed in the queen mother's palace all the time. Waiting."

Lin Yan understood after hearing this, and knew that the Empress Dowager did not want to see the lineage of the noble concubine. Yun Ning had a clear stand and stood behind Situ Jun. The noble concubine is crying.

Daiyu looked at Lin Yan, hesitated to speak.When she first heard that Rongning Second Mansion was seized, she was really shocked.Yun Ning was not at home, so he had to come to his brother to inquire.

The two brothers and sister sat down at the stone table under the tree, Yunze and Yunrui were supported by their respective wet nurses, and stumbled over.

"Uncle..." A soft dumpling flung itself into Lin Yan's arms, yelling in a childish voice, but he couldn't stutter clearly, it sounded vague, like "stinky".

Lin Yan hugged the two children on his lap, held one in each arm, and said with a smile, "Let uncle see who these two nephews are."

The two children are not yet one year old, their faces are still chubby, and they look even more cute.The one on the left is pulling clothes and scratching hair, laughing like a smiling Maitreya, the one on the right is a little quieter, because it is teething, and there is a lot of saliva on the bib, but it is also persistent. Rubbed against Lin Yan.

"Hurry up and take them down to see if they're dirty on brother's clothes." Daiyu couldn't help these two sons either, they were both lively and not very afraid of people, especially liked Lin Yan, and would hug them whenever she saw them.

Lin Yan squeezed the two children's cheeks very affectionately, and handed them over to the nurse to take them to another place to play.A girl here brought tea and fruits, but Lin Yan thought it was too hot, so he ordered iced sour plum soup to drink.

"My sister is here for the Rongguo Mansion?"

Seeing the question, Daiyu sighed softly, "I've heard from the Queen Mother, but I'm not quite sure what's going on. Didn't you say that it's just their Dongfu who have hooked up with...that person? Grandma's place was also searched? Master Hou is not at home these days, does brother know?"

Lin Yan put the small blue and white lid cup aside, and felt a coolness with a faint scent of osmanthus blossoms in his heart.Of course, he knew about the case of the Zhen family, so he briefly talked about the matter related to the two prefectures of Rongning and Ningxia.Daiyu was shocked to hear that someone in the Rongguo Mansion hid the Zhen family's finances.Even though she didn't go out on weekdays, she knew that the case of the Zhen family and King Cheng Jing was serious this time.The two houses of Rongning and Ningxia secretly colluded with King Cheng to commit crimes, and the other secretly hid the family property of criminal officials. This, this is a serious crime!

"How did you say that? Earlier..." Daiyu bit her lips, thinking about her words, "Before I just thought...forget it, this is not what I, an outsider, a junior, should say. Brother, this person is very concerned. Where? At least a relative..."

Lin Yan naturally understood what Daiyu meant.Thanks to the old lady Jia, Daiyu is the granddaughter of the Jia family. After her mother passed away, she was raised in the Rong family for a period of time. This is known to all the female relatives of many officials and noble families in Beijing.Even though there was a rift between the two later, they did not tear their faces apart on the surface.If you throw away your hands at this time, I'm afraid they will be called cold.Now that there is an accident in the Rong Mansion, she can't do anything else, even if it is to save face, she has to take care of it everywhere in the prison.

"The old man of the old country had the merit of saving him. The emperor is still here, thinking about the old love. Therefore, only the men are locked in the Ministry of punishment, and the women are still locked in their mansion, but they are watched and are not allowed to move around. Where are they There are also chaste women, no one will make things difficult for me. It's just that the fourth girl is from the Ningguo Mansion, and all the female relatives there have been imprisoned..."

"Ah..." Daiyu whispered, her eyes were slightly hot.Among the few girls in Rongfu, Xichun hits off the most with Daiyu, although sometimes she can't help but speak bluntly, but she always behaves like a naive and innocent little girl.Daiyu knew that although she was young, she had a withdrawn and eccentric temperament, who knew what would happen in the end of this prison disaster?

After returning from Lin's residence, Yunning still did not return to the residence.Daiyu discussed with the old housekeeper Zhao Si, and asked someone to pack some clothes and other common things, and sent them to the Rong Mansion and the Prison of the Criminal Ministry respectively, but did not send food and so on.

When Yunning came back in the evening, Daiyu talked to him in detail, and finally sighed: "It can be regarded as my last little kinship for them."

Yunze and Yunrui rolled into a ball on the couch, Yunze twisted Yunrui's arm, Yunrui bit Yunze's other hand, yelled for a while, and suddenly burst into tears.

The girls couldn't help laughing and left the two brothers, Daiyu didn't care about being sad, she took Yunrui and hugged her in her arms, seeing his fair and tender face blushing, she couldn't help but feel distressed, " Well, Brother Rui, don’t cry anymore, mother will teach brother a lesson for you, ah..."

On the other side, Xiang Yunze raised his hand, there were bright water stains on it, and there were no more, no less, four small tooth marks.Yun Ning usually tried to maintain a cold and serious image in the mansion, but now he couldn't hold back his smile.The two little brothers have been fighting non-stop since they were able to move.It's okay if they are both hugged by nurses and girls, but if they hug one of them, the other one will cry even more.

Sure enough, Yun Rui buried her head in Daiyu's arms and sobbed softly, while Yunze sat on the couch with her legs crossed and began to cry.

Yunning had to temporarily lose the majesty of being a father, and went to hug his son to coax him, but with his back to Daiyu, he gave his son a thumbs-up, regardless of whether the child knew it or not, anyway, he cried this time, called It's enough for the little wife not to get entangled in the trivial matter of Rongguo Mansion.

Yun Ning spends a lot of time outside these days, so he can't help playing with his two sons for a while.It wasn't until the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the Yunze brothers' little heads kept shaking, that the wet nurse carried them back.

The husband and wife went to wash up, Yun Ning's hair was wet, but she let it loose and ignored it. She just patiently dried each strand of Daiyu's hair with a large dry cloth towel, and it was loose again. She rolled her arms up, and then very consciously sat beside Daiyu.

Daiyu understood, pursed her lips and smiled and dried his hair for him.The young couple haven't seen each other for a few days, so they inevitably have to chatter for a while.

After a long time of husband and wife, seeing Yun Ning's two straight eyebrows frowning slightly, they knew that something was going to be difficult outside.Without asking too much, ten slender fingers gently rubbed his forehead.Yun Ning patted her hand and looked back at Dai Yu with tenderness between her brows.

The moonlight is like water, and the evening breeze is blowing, dispelling the heat of the day.Lin Yan was sitting under the plane tree in the courtyard, and on the piano table in front of him was a harp, strumming the strings repeatedly.The sound of the piano is clear and clear, accompanied by the chirping of crickets and frogs in summer night, which has a special charm.

Originally, such a night should be a peaceful state of mind, but Lin Yan felt inexplicably disturbed.Pushing Qin forward, he simply got up and changed into dark clothes, climbed over the wall and left the mansion.

Because of the case of Zhen's family, the loyal, loyal and respectful kings were both involved. Situ Jun ordered the two kings to guard the mother's spirit in the Xiaoci Emperor's Mausoleum.Xu Shi jumps over the wall in a hurry, Zhongzhong actually seriously injured Zhongjing, and escaped from the tightly guarded Xiaoci.

Whether it's Situ Lan or Yun Ning, they've been busy with this for the past few days.Hearing Daiyu say that Yunning hadn't returned home for a few days, and thinking that Situ Lan hadn't seen him for a long time, Lin Yan actually walked towards Situ Lan's palace.

January is in the sky, stretching his shadow long.The houses on both sides of the street had already closed their doors, and it was quiet.

After walking for less than two minutes, laughter and joyous singing could be faintly heard from the alley on one side.Lin Yan turned his head to look, it turned out to be the busiest place in central Beijing, Wangchun Street.The most famous Qinlou Chu Pavilion in the entire capital is gathered here, and it is quiet during the daytime, and ordinary ordinary people are unwilling to approach it.Only at night, in the attic courtyard of the pavilion, the family members are full of voices, and the shadows and clothes are everywhere.

Suddenly, Lin Yan stopped, and there seemed to be a figure at the intersection of Wangchun Street that he had never seen before.After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help being taken aback, secretly hating himself for not bringing anyone out.If it was the Lin Yan of the past, he would not have followed recklessly.It's just that today, for some reason, the agitation in my heart couldn't be increased, knowing that something was wrong, but I couldn't help but chased after the passing figure.

The figure walked in a hurry, which was quite different from the people who came out to look for flowers and ask willows at this time.Lin Yan became more and more certain of his guess. This person was the guard who often followed the loyal king Situ Qi.

Could it be that Situ Qi didn't escape, but entered the capital without anyone noticing?
