The heart of the red mansion is like jade

Daiyu looked out, and sure enough, it had a special charm when viewed from a high place.Daiyu laughed and said, "It's better than the plum grove I went to that day." Shui Rong said with a smile: "The plum trees here are all famous, but there are not as many plum blossoms in the plum grove. All in all, it's still not that good. The plum blossoms here last time It hasn't bloomed yet, but the plum blossoms are already blooming beautifully." Shui Rong looked at Daiyu's eyes towards plum blossoms, and asked with a smile, "Yu'er likes plum blossoms?" Daiyu said with a smile, "The more awe-inspiring the snow is, the more awe-inspiring the flowers will be." The Mid-Qi Festival is the strongest. When it is outdated, it will drift away, and the shame is even more begging for mercy from Dongjun. Who doesn’t appreciate Mei’s strength of character?"

Shui Rong smiled and said: "This is Yu'er's noble character. We must know that people in the world admire peonies more." Daiyu smiled lightly and said: "Peony has the character of peony, and there is also the scorched bone peony that was sent to Luoyang after the fire. The peonies are still standing upright, and when the spring breeze blows in the coming year, the flowers will bloom more beautifully, but now people in the world have forgotten the strength of the peony, and only remember that the flowers bloom richly."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "It turns out that Yu'er is the real person who loves and cherishes flowers." Daiyu laughed and said: "Loving and cherishing flowers is not a thing, but my father taught me that everything has its own value. My son used to be addicted to the old things and couldn't extricate himself, so he couldn't figure out the reason. Now that he has gone through so many things, he can figure it out a little bit. Falling flowers, flowing water, dark clouds and wind and frost may not be another state of life, which used to be Yu'er is too crazy."

Shui Rong didn't expect Daiyu to think so thoroughly, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Yu'er is really thinking about it now, I was thinking of persuading you, but after hearing what you said, I realized that I am an idiot." Daiyu Said: "Brother Rong, I haven't thanked you yet, if it wasn't for your persuasion, Yu'er wouldn't think so thoroughly." Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Yu'er, you won't be polite to me." Daiyu smiled and nodded, Shui Rong wanted to talk again, so she heard the little girl come back and say: "Return to the lord, the concubine let the lord and Miss Lin go." Shui Rong nodded to show that he understood, and Daiyu smiled and said: "In that case, Brother Rong, let's Let's go." Don't make Mother wait too long. "

Shui Rong quickly agreed, and Daiyu helped Zijuan's hand to go downstairs. When she got out of the main room, she found that the sky began to snowflakes. "Shui Rong said with a smile: "When the snow stops, how about I accompany Yu'er to see the snow in Meilin?" Daiyu smiled and said: "Brother Rong is busy with government affairs every day, so don't miss the business because of Yu'er." Shui Rong said: "There are still a few days off every month, Yu'er doesn't have to worry." After saying this, the two arrived at the Chrysanthemum Garden. Ruyan welcomed them into the house, and Daiyu Shuirong hurriedly greeted the concubine.

The concubine concubine looked at the pair of children saluting together, she was so happy in her heart, she seemed to see a pair of beautiful children and beautiful women, but seeing that Rong'er and Yu'er got along more and more familiarly now, and Yu'er was very fond of Rong'er. Rong'er seems to be trusting more and more, thinking that Rong'er will definitely be able to hug the beauty back.Just as she was in a daze, she felt that her clothes were being pulled, so she regained her senses and looked at Shui Rong and Daiyu who were still kneeling in front of her, they were watching her hurriedly walk over to help Daiyu Yu got up and said with a smile: "Good Yu'er, get up quickly, it's mother's fault to see you two come in and you are stunned." Daiyu smiled and said: "Mother, it's okay."

The concubine took Daiyu to sit down, and said with a smile: "Today, the princess's residence posted a post saying that the sixth day of this month is a good day, and invited the high-ranking officials and nobles in Jinling to go to another courtyard to appreciate plum blossoms, and also posted a post for Yu'er Yu'er will go with her mother that day." Daiyu was impatient with these social gatherings, so she smiled and said, "Mother can go by herself, and it's fine for Yu'er to stay at home." The concubine smiled and said: I was so suffocated at home every day, when my mother was young, she often went out to play with your mother and cousin Shiyun, otherwise your mother would not know your father." Daiyu said in surprise: "It turns out that father and mother have already known each other. Do you know?"

The concubine smiled and said: "Naturally, sister Min was known as the most beautiful woman in the capital at that time, and there were countless people who asked for it, including princes and grandchildren. If your father hadn't known sister Min early and won her heart, he would not How can you marry younger sister Min, good boy, my stepmother will tell you about these things slowly, but now the eldest princess really wants to see you, and she and your mother are also close friends."

Daiyu said: "Since that's the case, Yu'er will go with mother." The concubine smiled and said: "Rong'er will also go that day, so we can go there together." Shui Rong said: "The son will accompany the concubine mother Go with Yu'er." Daiyu asked again: "Mother, will the sisters from my grandmother's family go?"

Empress Dowager Taifei smiled and said: "I'm sure I will go too. Don't worry about Yu'er, the third girl from the Jia family will definitely go." Daiyu asked: "Mother, is the third sister really going to get married?" Looking at Shui Rong, Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Now the two countries are negotiating, but the war will definitely not be fought, and the possibility of marriage is very high." Daiyu sighed: "I only have pity on the third sister." Shui Rong said: " Although the country of Siam is in the southeast, the scenery is beautiful and the people are very simple. Besides, the king of Siam is a man of both civil and military skills, and he is also a man who is indomitable. If the three girls really go to kiss each other, they will not be wronged."

Daiyu laughed and said, "That's true? That's very good. Speaking of it, my third younger sister often laments that she is not a man and cannot do anything for the country and the people. She is also a concubine. Maybe it is a good thing for her to get married. "

Shui Rong smiled and said: "It's not settled yet, I will tell you first when it is settled." The concubine smiled and said: "Yu'er went to the other courtyard to admire the plum blossoms in the sixth day, mother will take you to make some clothes." "Daiyu smiled and said: "Mother, there is no need, Yu'er still has a lot of clothes that she hasn't worn, and Zijuan makes clothes for Yu'er, and they are very beautiful."

The concubine smiled and said: "If that's the case, forget it. I really believe in the craftsmanship of your master and servant. The suit you gave me is better than the craftsmanship of the nuns in the palace. It's your mother and you. I couldn't do it so well when I was about [-] years old, so I wore this suit to make them all envy me."

The concubine's words made everyone laugh. Daiyu laughed and said, "If mother likes that Yu'er is doing it for mother." Just take good care of your body every day."

Daiyu's heart was moved when she heard the words. When she was in the Grand View Garden, she was in poor health and did little needlework, so she was said by the maids that she didn't scoop the needle horizontally or twist the thread vertically. Her grandmother and aunt knew that But he didn't say a word himself.It's just that she is no longer the Daiyu who can't think about it when things happen. Now she can let go of these things. The concubine darkened Daiyu's face and knew that Daiyu was probably remembering the bad experience in the past. Wanting to persuade her, Daiyu smiled and said: "Mother, Yu'er is in very good health now, and I don't feel tired at all making clothes for you."

The concubine smiled and said: "What a good boy." The two people here were very happy talking, but Shui Rong was not very happy over there, muttering in a low voice: Why doesn't Yu'er want to dress me.But he also knows that this matter is impossible now, it seems that he can only continue to work hard.Concubine Toffee had seen Shui Rong's expression a long time ago, so she didn't break it, and several people talked happily for a while.

While Rushuang watched the three happily chatting, especially Shui Rong's concern and care for Daiyu, she felt sad.She liked Shui Rong at first, and she thought that she was the maidservant next to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager also liked her very much, maybe in the future she would be assigned to Shui Rong to be her aunt and concubine, so she served the Empress Dowager Also more attentive.Later, when Miss Lin came, she originally thought that Daiyu was just a daughter recognized by the concubine, that is, the little princess of the palace. She also respected Daiyu very much, especially seeing Daiyu's gentleness and tenderness, she liked her very much in her heart.It's just that she gradually discovered that the prince is very kind to Miss Lin, not the kindness that a brother treats his sister at all, and the prince also persuaded the empress dowager not to recognize Daiyu as her daughter, and the empress dowager also agreed. The concubine also likes Miss Lin's tightness.Although Miss Lin seems to have only brother-sister affection for the prince, but the prince is so good, Miss Lin can't be tempted, if the prince marries Miss Lin, with Miss Lin's appearance, I am afraid that I can't even be the prince's concubine , and I think the empress dowager would not agree.And even if he became the prince's concubine, with Miss Lin in front of him, he would be like humble dust, and it would be difficult for him to have a place of his own.

The more Rushuang thought about it, the more she felt that her future was bleak, and she couldn't help but look sad, and she didn't even hear Mother Xu asking her to get a new tea.Mother Xu has always been careful, she already knew Rushuang's thoughts on Shui Rong, but she saw that Rushuang was also a good girl, if she could treat Shui Rong sincerely, it would be good, so she never exposed her.It's just that now that I see Daiyu, I know what the lord is thinking. If someone like the lord takes a fancy to Daiyu, he will be loyal and unswerving, and she also understands Daiyu's character. Like the magnificent mother, she yearns for a couple for life, so Rushuang has no chance at all in her heart.

Madam Xu and Rushuang have been serving the concubine for a long time, and she also likes this girl who is not talkative but careful and gentle, but Rushuang and Daiyu are so different, so she I feel that I must have a good chat with Rushuang. It is best to let Rushuang dispel that idea, or Rushuang will suffer.Madam Xu made up her mind, and quietly pulled Rushuang, and it was only then that Rushuang came to her senses.Her face was flushed, but Madam Xu didn't expect to say anything, she just asked her to change the tea.Ru Yan hurriedly left, Xu Mama looked at Ru Shuang's back, and sighed inwardly.

Not long after, a little girl outside said that Uncle Feng had come, and was waiting for the prince in the study outside.Shui Rong hurried away, and the concubine knew that the case of Daiyu's poisoning had been thoroughly investigated.Sure enough, when the water melted into the outer study, seeing Feng Ziying's tired face, he hurriedly asked: "Ziying, how is the investigation going?"

Feng Ziying hurriedly replied: "My lord, according to what you said, I found Mrs. Lin's former dowry maid, and everyone else has settled down in Suzhou, but there is a woman named Zhou who came back half a year after Mrs. Lin left." In Zhoujia Village, the capital city, when the servant found her home, her neighbors said that within ten days after she came back from Jiangnan, the house suddenly caught fire, and more than a dozen members of the family were burned to death. The servant thought that nothing could be found. I came, but on the way back, I met an old woman who was dying of hunger. The servant rescued her because of his kindness. She said that she was from Zhoujia Village. The servant hurriedly asked her if she knew Mrs. Zhou. Then his face changed, and the servant thought that he must have something to do with Mrs. Zhou, so he grabbed her. She asked the servant what he did, and the servant said that he was from the Lin family, and came to investigate the cause of Mrs. Lin's death at that time. She asked again The servant was entrusted by whom, the servant said it was Lin Zhong, but she didn't expect that she would kneel on the ground and tell the servant that Mrs. Lin and Young Master Lin were poisoned to death."

Shui Rong asked in surprise, "What's going on here?" Feng Ziying hurriedly said, "The woman said that the old lady of Jia's mansion wrote her a letter, threatening her to put the lives of her parents and brothers into the meals of Mrs. Lin and Young Master Lin." The poison was given to her by Jia Shishi's consort Lai everyone. She didn't want to harm Mrs. Lin and Young Master Lin, but the fate of her parents was in the hands of Jia Shishi. She had to Hearing this, he poisoned the food of the Young Master and Mrs. Lin, the Young Master went there only a few months after he was young, and Mrs. Lin is an adult after all, but she loves her son dearly, and she also went after a year."

Shui Rong said angrily: "People say that the poison of a tiger doesn't eat its offspring. This Jia Shishi is even more poisonous than a tiger. He is simply not human." Then he asked Feng Ziying: "Is there any evidence for this?"

Feng Ziying said: "Mrs. Zhou decided to let them all leave after Mrs. Lin left. This week, Mrs. Zhou returned to her hometown with the banknotes given by Jia's mansion, and took a son to join her parents, brothers and sister-in-law. Her husband passed away a long time ago, leaving only a young son. Her parents, brother and sister-in-law took her in when they saw her pitiful. But this week, Mrs. Lin felt sorry for Mrs. Lin, and felt that someone was always following her secretly. One day after dinner, waiting for the family to fall asleep, she thought about hiding Jiamu’s letters and the remaining poison. When she hid them in the ruined temple, she found that her home had become a ruin. There was a sea of ​​flames, but when she was about to rush over, she found a few people who said: "Everyone has been killed, now if we set a fire again, there will be nothing left, let's go back and scoop up the silver. "That's when Mrs. Zhou knew that someone from Jia's mansion had sent someone to kill her. At that time, she bit her hand hard so that she didn't make a sound. She waited for those people to go far away, and some neighbors came out to fight the fire, so she went far away. After watching, she saw her parents, brothers, sisters-in-law, sons, nephews, and nieces were all carried out, and they were all dead. At that time, Mrs. Zhou wanted to seek revenge from the Jia family, but she had nothing left, so she had to watch the neighbors take her away. After the relatives were buried, I took out the hidden letters and poison and carried them with me, thinking that one day I could avenge my parents and children. Now the letters and poison are in the hands of the servants, and I just let Ruyan girl test whether they are cold or not. Crystal poison, everything will be resolved."

Shui Rong hurriedly asked the little girl to call Ruyan, Feng Ziying said again: "The cold crystal poison was bought by Lai Da, the companion of Jia Shishi in Jia's mansion. Her son is also an official now, so the slave has no way of arresting her for questioning."

Shui Rong said: "It doesn't matter, now only relying on the testimony and evidence of Mrs. Zhou, we can find everyone Lai, but now we have to find the person who sells the medicine."

Feng Ziying said: "The servant will continue to investigate this matter. Don't worry, my lord, the servant will definitely investigate this matter clearly." Shui Rong nodded in agreement, and was about to speak when Ruyan came in.Feng Ziying hurriedly gave the poison to Ruyan, Ruyan checked it carefully, and said: "This is the cold crystal." Water-soluble let Ruyan go down, and said to Feng Ziying: "Now it can be confirmed that Mrs. Lin and Young Master Lin are the same. Death from poisoning can also prove that the poison came from the Jia family, but without the testimony of Nalai everyone, there is no way to prove that the poison was administered by Jia Shi."

Feng Ziying thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, we still have that letter. If Jia Shishi's handwriting can prove it at that time, but where can we get Jia Shishi's handwriting for comparison?"

Shui Rong's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "This is easy to handle, Yu'er will have it, maybe there is Jia Shishi's handwriting ten years ago, I will give it to you when I scoop it up, but now you must take that old lady Zhou After the arrangement is settled, she personally killed Mrs. Lin, and she deserves to be punished for the crime, but she is only a pawn, so let's deal with her after the evidence is complete."

Feng Ziying said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this servant has arranged for her. She only wants to avenge her parents and children before going to apologize to Mrs. Lin. Don't worry if you think about it. This servant has also found someone to watch her day and night to ensure that there will be no mistakes. .”

Shui Rong said: "This is the best, then you can find out who sold the cold crystal to the Jia family, and you can find evidence if you think about it." Feng Ziying hurriedly agreed, and went to investigate the case by herself.

Shui Rong was very contradictory in his heart, he didn't know how to tell Daiyu about this matter, he thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with a good way, so he went to Qingju Garden to find the concubine.After arriving at Chrysanthemum Garden, seeing that Daiyu had already returned to Lanxin Garden, Shui Rong felt relieved, now he really didn't know how to face Daiyu.

Seeing that Shui Rong came back again, the concubine said hurriedly: "Rong'er, what's the matter?" Shui Rong hurriedly dismissed the maidservant, and even Madam Xu was driven outside by Shui Rong to guard the gate.Seeing that Shui Rong was acting solemnly, the concubine knew that something serious might happen, so she hurriedly asked, "Rong'er, what happened?"

Shui Rong looked at his mother and concubine, and suddenly he didn't want to talk about it anymore. He knew the relationship between his mother and concubine Dai Yuniang, but this matter couldn't be covered, so he told the concubine directly about it. Empress.Concubine Concubine burst into tears after hearing this, she never thought that her good sister would go there like this, Shui Rong looked at Concubine Mother sad, and quickly persuaded her: "Concubine Mother, poor Aunt Min and that little brother Very soon, Concubine Mu, stop crying, it is true that you are thinking about avenging them now."

The concubine didn't speak when she heard the words, but her crying gradually died down, and finally she stopped crying, and asked: "Rong'er, is the evidence in your hand sufficient?" However, it cannot be directly proved that Jia Shishi is the mastermind, it would be great if there is Jia Shishi's handwriting now."

The concubine said: "It's easy. If you want to come to Yu'er, you can find it, but how can you tell Yu'er about it? Now in her heart, Jia Shishi is her only family member. If she knows the person who killed her mother It's my grandmother, can she bear it?"

Shui Rong frowned and said: "This is also a problem, mother concubine, did Aunt Min and Jia Shishi have a bad relationship in the past? It is too unimaginable to kill her own daughter with poison." Taifei said: "Sister Min and the original old country The father-in-law is very good, but the relationship with Jia Shishi is not so good. She also told us that her mother didn't seem to like her very much, but at that time she always felt that she was not liked by her mother because she was a girl."

Shui Rong said: "This is also unreasonable, just because Aunt Min is a girl, and no mother would kill her own child, so there must be something hidden."

The concubine said: "Then Rong'er should go and ask the old man in the Rongguo mansion. There is a man named Jiao Da in the Rongguo mansion. He used to be the old man's confidant. He was very loyal to the old man, so he asked him quietly. Let's go. Or look for women who are about the same age as Jia Shishi, and see if you can ask anything."

Shui Rong said: "My son thinks the same way, concubine mother, don't tell Yu'er about this before I find out about this matter, and then tell Yu'er, but now I can't let Yu'er go back to Jia's house anymore, it's better to even No one from the Jia family will see you."

The concubine said: "It's okay not to let Yu'er go back to Jia's house, but it's a bit difficult not to let her see the people of Jia's family. Besides, the girls in Jia's house are very nice and treat Yu'er very well. If they come to see Yu'er, Not to mention Yu'er, even I can't bear to see them."

Shui Rong thought for a while and said: "It's okay for them to come, just let Ruyan see these things, especially the maids who come with them, you should pay more attention." The empress dowager said: "This is the only way to do it now. , Ruyan's medical skills are very good, she is watching, there is no problem compared to it, from now on let Zijuan Xueyan Ruyan Ruxue and several servant girls follow Yu'er every step of the way, those bad guys will have no chance."

Shui Rong said: "That's it, the concubine mother will also take care of it during the plum blossom banquet." The empress dowager said: "It's natural, Rong'er, don't worry." After the two discussed about Daiyu, Shui Rong went to call Ruyan Ruxue came over and explained to them in detail, the two quickly responded, and said: "Swear to protect the girl to the death." But Shui Rong was startled, Ruxue was more lively, seeing Shui Rong's appearance, he smiled and said: "Slave servant Following the girl, I just feel like being with my family. Although the prince and the concubine are very kind to the servants, they don’t care as much as the girl for the family of the servants.” After speaking, he stuck out his tongue and secretly looked at the With a glance at Shui Rong, I am afraid that Shui Rong will get angry.

Shui Rong was not angry at all when he heard the words, so he was more relieved, and said to Ruyan Ruxue: "You take good care of your girls, and the king will reward you well in the future." The two said: "The servant does not ask for rewards." , just want to follow the girl." Shui Rong said: "Yu'er is fine, you can naturally follow her, if something happens to Yu'er, you will be punished."

The two said at the same time: "Miss has something to do, the servant will apologize with death." Shui Rong told the two of them a few more words, then let them go back to Lanxin Garden, and finally told them not to tell Daiyu, and they agreed and went back Lanxin Court.
