The Red Mansion Becomes Lin Daiyu

In the early morning of the second day, Lin Daiyu went to the wing room to see Xiaoxia again, and realized that she had almost recovered, so she asked about yesterday's jumping into the lake.In the end, Xiaoxia said that she was raped by a traitor, and she would have no face to live in this world in the future.She was puzzled when she heard it, didn't Xue Pan succeed?Only later did I realize from Xiaoxia's intermittent crying that Xiaoxia had misunderstood, thinking that being hugged and kissed by a man was rape.

Lin Daiyu either cried or laughed when she heard this reason, Xiao Xia is really not ordinary innocent and ignorant!That's right, women in ancient times didn't step out of the second door, and maids generally didn't read any books, and no one would tell them about this before they got married. It's normal not to know.But this is common sense, okay? Xiao Xia is also [-] or [-] years old, so I should know!Well, her maids are all decent women, and they usually keep their own place, so it's understandable if they don't know.

It took a long time to explain before Xiaoxia realized that the matter was not as serious as she thought, and her body was still intact.After knowing the truth, Xiao Xia also blushed with shame, but she really thought about it, and promised not to do stupid things again.Back in her room, Lin Daiyu sighed softly, alas, the matter is finally settled!Before the meeting was over, Hong Lian came in again and said that a servant from the outer courtyard begged to see her. Lin Daiyu didn't expect to see her. When would a servant say that she can see her mistress?But Honglian said it was about Xiaoxia, so I had to see her.

When the young man who took it saw Lin Daiyu, he knelt down and said, "I beg the girl to marry Xiao Xia to the young one."

Lin Daiyu almost spit out the sip of tea she just drank, "You know about Xiao Xia, if you came here just out of sympathy or pity, then you can go back now. Xiao Xia Although I have been wronged, I will not ignore her, and I will take good care of her and marry her in the future."

Hearing this, the little servant showed an anxious expression on his face, kowtowed his head and touched the ground, and said with a "bang", hurriedly said: "Girl Rongzhi, I really like Miss Xiaoxia, not for sympathy or anything else, to be honest Said that the little one has liked Miss Xiaoxia for a long time, and he dared not say it before, but now that Miss Xiaoxia has suffered all these hardships, the little one understands that there are some things that need to be said in time, or it is regrettable for the rest of his life, please let the girl do it!"

Lin Daiyu knew this young man, his name was Tian Fang, he was a servant who often followed her father, and she had met her many times.Although he is not a child of the family, and he does not receive special protection in this mansion, but because of his cleverness, he can be regarded as one of the servants who has done well among the servants, and he has won the attention of Butler Lin. Not bad.Lin Daiyu paid attention when he just spoke, her eyes were clear, her words were sonorous and powerful, and the key was the boy's rare unity of heart and mouth.That's right, she has probed his mood, and there is no negative emotion, which means that what he said at the moment is showing his true feelings, which is not bad, and he can be Xiao Xia's lover, but I don't know how Xiao Xia feels about him.

"Oh, so if I don't make it right, I'm tearing apart the predestined people?" Lin Daiyu laughed.

"Girl, that's not the meaning of the little one, the little one..."

"Okay, I won't make it difficult for you. I can't decide this matter now. I have canceled Xiao Xia's slave status. If you want to do this, you have to ask Mama Wu. As long as Mama Wu and Xiao Xia agree, I will do it." It's done for you!"

"Thank you, girl!" Tian Fang kowtowed happily, "If you are so young, please find someone to tell Mama Wu, the little one will leave!"

"Well, let's go!" Lin Daiyu said, this kid is not bad, he has a well-founded plan, if he really succeeds, it will be a good thing.

After Tian Fang came out of Yuxuan Pavilion, he took out the money he usually saved, held a banquet, and invited several older and decent women in the mansion, and asked them to talk to Mama Wu about it.Mama Wu was also very satisfied with Tian Fang, she usually looked like a nice guy, and she had no objections at the moment, so she agreed.It's just that Xiao Xia had just had an accident, so in order not to irritate her again, she kept it a secret from her for the time being, but the two sides have already exchanged Geng Tie, and the matter is considered settled.

From the south of the Yangtze River to the capital city, it was thousands of miles away. By the time the Xue family received the news and arrived, Xue Pan's verdict had already come down: a fine of 1 taels of silver, and he would be dispatched to Nanling as an army.In ancient times, being exiled to the army was a very severe punishment, and lifelong exile like Xue Pan was a severe punishment second only to beheading.Lin Daiyu felt that this judgment was good and she could make some contribution to the country.Heh, this time it's cheap for him. If all the lives he killed in the past are pulled out, he is probably dead now!For the sake of some relatives who are indeed out of touch, I will not expose the absurd things he did in the past. I hope this time I can know where I went wrong!

It was Xue Biao who came to Xue's house, Xue Biao was a smart man, the person who reported the letter was in a panic and didn't say anything, only that the uncle was arrested and thrown into a big prison.Hmph, a bunch of idiots, his eldest brother's servants are also useless people, they didn't even know the whole story, they panicked and yelled back to Beijing to invite people, thinking that this is Jinling, let it go They do whatever they want!

Knowing that this time the eldest brother must have offended someone, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a big commotion.As soon as he arrived in Suzhou, he asked people to inquire, only to find out that his eldest brother had robbed the maid of the Dudu Mansion.At the moment, he is also very angry. What is the status of the Governor's Mansion?Originally, my family had some relatives with the Dudu Mansion, if it was another family who asked for mercy, there might be a chance of commutation of sentence, but this time there is no way.Since the magistrate dared to make such a sentence, he must have obtained the permission of the governor's mansion. It would be useless for him to ask Uncle Lin to intercede.

Xue Pan thought he was the king of heaven, he could do whatever he wanted wherever he went!He has always been dissatisfied with his elder brother's actions, and he didn't want to come this time, but Uncle He's mother went to invite him, because the elders couldn't do it too well and refused.He has no choice but to come and clean up the mess for his elder brother, but the situation is beyond his control now.Even if the verdict has been handed down, he has no way to recover from the case. Moreover, this matter is a matter between his family and the Governor's Mansion, and it has something to do with Suzhou's official style.

Nowadays, everyone is praising the new magistrate for being fair and honest, not attached to the powerful, and the governor for knowing people and doing well. Not to mention him, even the great Yuan of the court is powerless to turn the world around.Let's go and see my elder brother now, and bring him some food and drinks. I guess I haven't had a good meal in prison for such a long time, and I have to hand over the 1 taels of fine silver.

In the magistrate's prison, Xue Biao carried a food box and followed a government servant into the dark and damp cell. The stench from around him made him wrinkle his nose.

"Here, the person you want to see is right there!" The yamen servant pointed to something huddled in the corner of the cell, four or five people were imprisoned in this large cell besides Xue Pan.They were all sitting on the grass bunk on one side, only Xue Pan curled up on the hard ground in the corner.Opening the cell door, the yamen servant raised his leg and kicked the object, "Xue Pan, get up quickly, someone is coming to see you!"

Xue Pan just snorted, squirmed a few times, and didn't have any more to say.The yamen servant was anxious, and cursed: "You bastard, you are quite stubborn, aren't you?" He raised his foot and was about to kick again, but was grabbed by Xue Biao, took out a silver coin and stuffed it into his hand, saying: "Give it to me, the official!" Buy a glass of wine, brothers!"

The yamen servant retracted his feet and took it with a smile, saying: "That's right, you are on the road, go in quickly, time is running out!"

"Big Brother" Xue Biao called out as he approached.

The lump of object slowly shook its body away, revealing a human form. The tattered clothes, the skinny body, and the bruised and swollen face made it impossible to see the original color of the clothes, which made it impossible to compare with what it was more than a month ago. Uncle Xue's family in Hengxing Township contacted him.

"Xue scorpion?"

"It's me, brother!"

Xue Pan didn't know where the strength came from, so he jumped up, hugged Xue Biao and cried: "Brother, you finally came to save me, you don't know how much your brother and I have suffered this month..." He wiped away his tears indiscriminately, and pointed to the other people in the cell, "They all bullied me. Look at these injuries, they were the ones who beat me. You should find someone to teach them a lesson. After I get out, I will make them worse off." die!"

Xue Biao sneered in his heart, as expected, he couldn't expect his elder brother to make any progress, he didn't even learn a lesson, who did he think he was, "Brother, calm down first, I can't help you out, your sentence has already come down, it can't be changed Yes, you'd better go to the army honestly, if you have done meritorious service at the border, you may be exempt from guilt, otherwise no one will be able to save you."

"What, you didn't come to save me! Then what are you doing here! Tell me..." Xue Pan stepped forward and grabbed Xue Biao's collar, and then yelled, "If you don't have the skills, don't take this job Hurry up, send someone to notify uncle, or uncle, let them come and save me, I don’t want to die, don’t go to jail, don’t want to be exiled to the army, I haven’t enjoyed enough of the glory and wealth in this world, I don’t want to die, you go Ah, I’m hopeless if it’s too late!” To say that Xue Pan is stupid, that’s not always the case, he was sent to the magistrate’s prison by Lin Butler himself, which means it was ordered by Lin Ruhai, and he knew that it would be useless to find Lin Ruhai!

Seeing that his good elder brother was still thinking about prosperity and wealth at this moment, Xue Biao's expression sank.Who is he running around for? In the end, he still blames him. He is really self-indulgent!

"Good brother, I'm your elder brother. You don't want me to have something to do, right? Just now, the elder brother's tone was bad. The elder brother was afraid of being locked up. The elder brother apologized. Can you inform my uncle for me?" He ignored it, and softened his tone again. At this moment, all his hopes were pinned on Xue Biao, and there must be nothing wrong.

"Brother, it's time for visiting. I should go. Brother can take care of himself!" Xue Biao pulled off his hand from his collar, put down the food box, and then broke off the other hand that was clinging to him, and left without mercy. go out.

Xue Pan was about to give chase, but the servant who was rushed over gave him a hard look and stopped his feet.These yamen servants were all tall and burly, and one of them had a long scar on his face, which stretched from his forehead to his mouth, which made him tremble with fear.It's this scarred face, he has some means of teaching people, he can torture people to death without leaving a drop of blood, even if he sues him, he can't sue him, after all, it is very common for people to die of illness in a prison cell.He didn't understand it when he first came in, but he suffered a lot, and now he dare not make a mistake with his courage.

After Xue Biao came out, he gave another ingot of silver to the yamen servant and told him to take care of Xue Pan. He had already paid the fine, and his good brother would be taken to Nanling in a few days.Originally, he planned to spend a few hundred taels of silver to change to a separate cell so that he could live more comfortably in the past few days, but after hearing Xue Pan's words, he was no longer thinking about it.So be it, as for whether the yamen servant will take care of Xue Pan, he doesn't care, this can be regarded as the brotherhood between the two, and it will be irrelevant in the future!

Lin Fu, Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu are reading in the study, drinking fragrant scented tea, chatting occasionally, not to mention how comfortable they are.Shui Rui was thrown into the military camp, and without anyone destroying the relationship between him and his daughter, Lin Ruhai was so happy that he could laugh while sleeping.

"I've seen the master, I've seen the girl!" Butler Lin came in and greeted the two of them.

"Lin Quan, what's the matter?" Lin Ruhai asked, both he and his daughter liked to be quiet, and Lin Quan wouldn't bother him if he was reading a book and had nothing to do.

"Master, Xue Biao, the second master of the Xue Family of the Imperial Merchant, is begging to see you. This is an invitation card." As he spoke, he stepped forward and slightly bowed, holding up the invitation card with both hands.

Lin Ruhai took it and looked at it, then turned to Lin Daiyu and asked, "Yu'er, why do you think this Xue scorpion came here?" He smiled like a fox.

"Daddy, you tested me again. Xue Pan had such a big incident. The Xue family must have come to Suzhou for this incident. As for why he begged to see Daddy, it depends on whether he is smart or stupid. If he is smart enough, he shouldn't come to Daddy to intercede at this time, if he is stupid, then..." Lin Daiyu stopped talking, and looked up at Lin Ruhai, the meaning behind it was self-evident.

"Hehe, my good daughter is really smart, you have seen through her father, so do you think she saw her or not?"

"Of course I want to see you. My daughter heard that this Xue Biao is different from Xue Pan. One of them is an overlord and the other is a sensible person; one is sentimental and reckless, and the other is honest and steady; the taste of life is vulgar and the other is simply judgmental." Ruo Niyun! Isn’t my daughter curious, so I’ll take a look today!”

"You!" Lin Ruhai tapped Lin Daiyu's forehead. He was helpless with his daughter's series of remarks. If an ordinary boudoir girl said such words, she would be condemned to death, but he just felt that she was so lively. Daughter is cute.I also want to satisfy her curiosity, "Lin Quan, let him in!"

"Daddy, where should I sit?" Lin Daiyu asked playfully after getting her consent.

"You can't sit anywhere, can't you use your divine sense?"

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu refused, and said reproachfully, "Daddy, you bullied me. If you use your spiritual sense, it would be so troublesome. Don't I want to observe closely?"

"Hehe, since you have a lot of things to do, ask the maid to put a screen in the hall, and you sit behind the screen, don't make any noise!"

"Don't worry, I promise that there will be no breathing." Lin Daiyu raised her hands to assure.

Lin Ruhai shook her head and laughed, her daughter is becoming more and more active, is it the Eighth Prince's credit?

After a while, Xue Pan was brought here.After tidying up his clothes, he saluted naturally: "I've seen Mr. Lin!"

Lin Ruhai nodded in his heart, um, yes, he behaved chicly, neither humble nor overbearing, he was not the same as Xue Pan, and he already had a good impression in his heart.

"Nephew, you are very polite. Please sit down without courtesy. Since you are a relative, you don't have to treat me like this. Call me uncle! When did my nephew come to Suzhou, and why?"

"Thank you uncle, my nephew is not welcome!" After returning the gift, Xue Biao chose a lower seat and sat down, "My nephew arrived yesterday, and the matter for my brother has been handled properly. Thinking that my uncle is an official in Suzhou, Just come and visit!"

"Oh, since you're here for your brother's business, don't you plan to say anything today? Don't you have any objections to your brother's sentence?" Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows.

"Who is my brother, my nephew knows in his heart that if a prince breaks the law, he is as guilty as the common people. My nephew dare not have any opinions. I only hope that my brother can correct his mistakes and do his best for the country."

These words are high-sounding, but it is unavoidable to hear them a little unreasonable. Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows and said, his voice could not hear any emotion, "Brother is in trouble and doesn't save you. You are not fraternal. Are you not afraid of being criticized in the future?"

"There is great righteousness in the world because of 'loyalty'. Loyalty and filial piety have not been able to achieve both since ancient times. What's more, 'fraternity' has existed since ancient times. There are people who praise and seldom criticize. My nephew has done his best on this matter, and he has a clear conscience. As for the others and my nephew, what's the problem?"

Hearing these words, Lin Ruhai was delighted. This boy is interested in him. My daughter is right. He and Xue Pan are so far apart. She clapped the case and said, "You have a clear conscience. You speak well, just based on your words." , I, Lin Ruhai, recognize your nephew!"

Xue Biao knew that Lin Ruhai's nephew was different from the previous ones, so he knelt down to formally pay respects.

Lin Daiyu covered her mouth behind the screen and smiled, Dad, this shot is too domineering. If it was a military strategy, the effect would be better. This is the first time she has seen her father so arrogant.I heard that my father was a general when he was young. Looking at it this way, he really has that momentum!

Noticing his daughter's expression, Lin Ruhai touched his nose in embarrassment, wondering in his heart, what's the matter, did he do something to damage his Yingwei image in his daughter's heart when he got excited?

The two chatted for a while, Xue Biao left, but Lin Ruhai didn't force him to stay.

After stepping out of the gate of Dudu's Mansion, Xue Biao let out a big breath.Sure enough, not everyone can be an executive, Uncle Lin's aura is so overwhelming that he can't breathe
