Eldest sister is not easy to do

After being an official for thirty years, Lin Ruhai always thinks about the word "promotion".I think that my father was an official to the second rank Shangshu at a young age.As a son, he will have to hold the wat board in his hand and stand on the court hall in the future.

But over the years, after exhausting all his efforts, in the end he was only a small fifth-rank magistrate.why is that? !The only way is: Feng Tangyi is old, Li Guang is hard to seal.Who knows that someone is making trouble!

Wuming became angry, and Lin Ruhai stabilized his body, and said: "I know the kindness of the father-in-law——General Feng, the prince has kept it from me so tightly! There is also my niece, which was entrusted by my younger brother before he died. Mr. Feng Gao We are a big family, how can our small family of Lin family subdue him, the marriage must be considered carefully, and there should be no mistakes."

After finishing speaking, Lin Ruhai was going to turn off the lights to see off the guests.

Dai Quan frowned slightly, and raised his slender fingers.There is no trace of blood on the back of the hand——"Master Lin, this is your fault: Prince Zhongshun suppressed you because he valued the Lin family. Otherwise—look at: Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry." Yang Shangshu. Will there be a happy ending?"

He persuaded him as if earnestly: "On the contrary: look at the Jinling Wei family. General Wei is also from our faction. His Majesty wanted to call him back to the capital many times before, but the prince sent someone to tell him: If he returns to the capital early, he will be sent to Beijing." It will lose its value. So much so that he went to guard the border for 20 years. His Majesty didn’t let him come back until the emperor’s change of throne was approaching recently.”

Lin Ruhai closed his eyes.

Dai Quan has always been used to seeing literati, and knows that they take soft things rather than tough ones.Then he sighed and said: "Your Excellency has been in a low position for many years, it is indeed unpleasant. But today the son is old and lingering. Once there is no king in the future, the people of the world will be in panic. And all the ministers meet every day. There is no way to say it. Today he defected to me, and tomorrow you defected to him. In the end, everyone is stuck in the quagmire and cannot extricate themselves. If the lord is in a high position today, what will happen?"

Lin Ruhai sneered and said, "Even if the rest of the princes have changed their minds. Even if they want to find a backer for the future. But I, Lin Hai, am only loyal to one emperor!"

Dai Quan smiled and said: "This is Master Lin's fault: If you are in a high position now, the situation forces you to make a choice. My lord has always cherished talents, which is why you have not been able to achieve success for many years. After all, after the emperor's change of position, most of the old ministers who have worked hard will also leave. Now is a good time for you to take the position!"

Lin Ruhai's heart skipped a beat when the word "superior" came to his ears.Thinking about it: I think this arrangement is not bad.Isn't that General Wei's child already appointed as a son-in-law?It is not impossible to ascend to the sky by oneself.So he saluted and said: "I accept the prince's kindness."

This is a sensible person.The prince commented that he was "full of complaints, able to bend and stretch." It is not unfair.Dai Quan thought so.Then he said: "Then I will wait for the good news." After finishing speaking, he went back satisfied.

Lin Ruhai thought he was tired this day, so he took a rest first.

I don't know how long I slept before I gradually woke up.In a daze, I heard the wife of the inner cook come to ask: "I have boiled the medicine, can I give it away?" The little maid heard this and came in to ask Daiyu.Daiyu laughed and said, "Who did Daddy meet just now? Why didn't he even eat the medicine soup and fell asleep?" Xueyan said, "I don't know. The master has been very weak recently, and most things are not done by himself. It must be a very important person!" As he spoke, he took a look at the decoction and said, "Miss, the young lady is still guarding the spirit in the backyard! Shall we call her to have a look at the decoction before sending it away?" go in?"

Lin Daiyu nodded, and then someone called Shu Yu.

Lin Ruhai heard it strangely in the room: why did he show Shu Yu his medicinal soup?Without summoning her daughter to serve her, Lin Ruhai got up.Lean on the edge of the door.I saw my daughter's eyes were red and swollen, and her face was worried.Can't help feeling suspicious.After a while, Lin Shuyu really came.The two sisters were not polite, and directly brought up the medicinal soup.

Shu Yu first poisoned with silver needles.After a while, I tasted it myself.After confirming that there is no problem, let Xueyan put it on the stove to warm up for Lin Ruhai to take.

Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief.Holding her sister's hand, she said: "Yesterday, there was a mixed bag of people in the house. Normally, the kitchen is my mother's confidant Wang's servant. But yesterday's table was too big, causing all the people in each room to gather in one place. I'm afraid This decoction has been tampered with, so I specially asked my sister to take a look."

Lin Ruhai couldn't stop being surprised: Someone wants to tamper with his medicine? !How did the two daughters know? !Waiting to hear.The living room suddenly fell silent.

I saw Lin Shuyu raised one palm, turned her eyes, and stared quietly at a piece of handkerchief on the painting tray.The shark silk handkerchief is for wiping your mouth after drinking the concoction.Usually it is white, but today it was replaced by a gray one.

The maid wrapped the handkerchief and carried it over.Lin Shuyu sniffed it carefully, and smelled a faint fragrance.Not musk deer, not sandalwood, Youyouran has a strong sweet smell: "There is something wrong with this veil, it's best not to drink this medicinal soup."

Saying that, Shu Yu poured the medicinal soup under a camellia in the room.This camellia is produced in Dali, and the upper and lower flowers have seven colors.It is the most honorable to take care of it on weekdays, and a little bit of water and soil discomfort will break the flower bones.Then, Shu Yu asked Xue Yan to fetch a bowl of hot water and put the handkerchief in it to soak.After the water has cooled, pour the water under the camellias.In the end, Xueyan and Jin'er were asked to grab a new batch of medicine and boil it into soup.

While Xueyan and the others were making soup, Daiyu and Shuyu were chatting about the imperial decree.

Daiyu said: "I heard that the old concubine passed away this time, but all the wives in Jinling who are a bit obstinate have gone to guard the spirit. If my sister sees my grandmother, don't forget to say hello."

Shu Yu sipped his tea and said with a smile, "Aren't you curious: Why is sister going to the palace?"

Daiyu replied: "My younger sister knows that my elder sister is a hero in the face of fans. She is locked in this deserted courtyard on weekdays, and she has wronged her talent. Today, my elder sister is so successful. As a younger sister, I think this is reasonable. , I am also very happy for my sister. As for how my sister did it, it has nothing to do with me." After finishing speaking, the two sisters looked at each other and smiled, expressing a thousand words in silence.Suddenly, a small sentence came from the side: "Oh." Shu Yu turned her head and saw that it was Xueyan who was turning on the stove for warming medicine.The camellia next to the stove fell to pieces.

Shu Yu's eyes darkened.Immediately ordered to go down: bring up all the people who have touched the medicine bowl.After a while, the woman in the kitchen was brought up.The person in charge of this veil is Granny Wu.He was originally a third-class figure in the Lin family. He was usually in charge of laundry with young masters and young ladies, and was not in the courtyard as an errand, so he didn't know the inner rules.Shu Yu suddenly called them today, and they were all startled.Just by admiring the ostentation of Jin'er and Luo Lan's two maids, one knows how powerful they are.Today I saw Shu Yu sitting alone in the lobby with an angry face.The second lady, Daiyu, is also there.Immediately panicked.Granny Wu saw that the women around her were just kneeling and didn't dare to speak, so she quickly straightened up and said with a smile: "Miss is fine, what are we servants doing?"

Luo Lan was the most angry, and immediately shouted: "Miss hasn't asked any questions yet, you are so confused, what are you talking about!" Daiyu hurriedly shouted: "Let's go out and talk! Daddy is asleep inside. If you disturb his old man, blame him You can’t keep any of them! Don’t go out yet.” At the same time, he scolded the little girls: “Didn’t my sister tell you to wait outside, why did you bring me in!” The little girls all said, “I’m sorry, Second Miss.” While saying that, they pushed people go out.

In the blink of an eye, everyone was out.Lin Ruhai's complexion was ashen, and he stepped out with big strides.When I came under the camellia, I was surprised when I took a closer look: the camellia not only withered, but also lost its color.I touched some soil with my fingers, and there was only a smell of decay.Not daring to be negligent at the moment, he quickly put on his clothes and walked out.He dismissed the housekeeper and servants one by one.

Arrived in Wutong Pavilion.I saw that all the women were kneeling on the bluestone slab outside the house.Shu Yu and Dai Yu sat in the room, called them in one by one to torture them, and released them one by one.One woman was let go on the spot, and two women were hesitant and unable to tell the origin of the medicinal soup, so they were detained by Shu Yu: one was that Granny Wu, and the other was Nanny Shen was in charge of cleaning the medicine jars.This surname made Boss Shu Yu unhappy.

Upon questioning, this Nanny Shen really belonged to Shen Qian's family.

Shu Yu said slowly: "Just now, I heard from Lorraine that you were busy in the kitchen yesterday afternoon. But you said that at that time, you were not in the kitchen at all, but had dinner with Granny Wu. What's going on?!"

Nanny Shen said unhurriedly: "That must be Lorraine's dizziness. I can't tell who is eating in the kitchen." Suddenly remembering something, Nanny Shen said loudly: "I was indeed with Granny Wu at noon yesterday. Together. If you don’t believe me, ask the third lady. The maidservants beside the third lady have seen the two characters beginning with the colorful characters!"

"Bold!" Shu Yu shouted.The hall was immediately silent.I saw Shu Yu walking down the steps slowly, and said with a smile: "Why did you carry the third lady out? When my maid is blind, then the third lady's maid will not be blind? Don't forget, the third lady's A servant girl shouldn't appear in the kitchen of the big room."

Granny Wu whispered: "The handkerchief was indeed delivered to us by the third lady. It is said to be a new batch of goods from the mansion."

Shu Yu turned over a sign in his hand, and suddenly dropped it. "Boom!" With a loud sound, it just hit Nanny Shen on the head. "oops

! "When the sound came out, Mother Shen hurriedly covered her head. She was a rude woman, and she just thought at this moment: This little girl has no father and no mother, what kind of majesty is she? She just wanted to call a bitch and shameless. blurted out, but it was: "What are you!The third wife is the master of the back house!I'm her family! "

Shu Yu pointed to the sign on the floor.Daiyu followed her instructions and explained: "This is the signboard for distributing cloth in our mansion. According to your reasoning, this sign should be with the third lady, why is it in my sister's hand?!" Xueyan laughed Said: "Isn't that right. The eldest lady is in charge of the wake, so I asked for fifty bolts of white cloth."

Nanny Shen quickly said, "This happened several months ago."

Shu Yu said lightly: "That's even more wrong: In the past few months, haven't I presided over various affairs on behalf of Uncle?!"

Just as he was talking, suddenly there was a scream of "Ah!"There was a trace of bright red scattered on the ground: it turned out that Shu Yu had smashed Nanny Shen's head.A tiny stream of blood trickled down.Daiyu frowned and didn't say a word.Granny Wu hurriedly took the opportunity and said: "Miss, look: the nanny is injured, I have to find a doctor for her!"

Shu Yu smiled coldly: "No need: bring the concoction left in the kitchen and give it to her to drink. Wipe it with a handkerchief. It will definitely be fine. Ah, that's right... When I was born, Shen Momo came to the second room to help after the third lady's instruction, right? This Wutong Pavilion is the place where I was born, right?!"

As soon as these words came out, the anger on Shen Nanny's face disappeared.The blood continued to flow, and the bright red brought her back to that night 15 years ago - when Lin Sun's labor was difficult, the whole room was covered with blood.When people get old, they are more and more afraid of retribution, more and more afraid of being known by the gods above them for what they have done, and going to hell after death.She stared at Lin Shuyu in horror, the more she looked at her face, the more she thought of Lin Sun.The mother and daughter really look alike...Suddenly, a shrill cry spread throughout the room.Lin Ruhai, who was hiding outside the door, saw an incredible scene at this moment:

All the lights went out in an instant.At this moment, a woman in bloody white clothes who seemed to have known each other slowly came from the door.
