There is no phoenix

After pondering for a while, Qin Keqing got up and said to Baozhu Ruizhu, "I'll go out for a while, you don't have to follow, I'll be right back!"

When Qin Keqing came to Jia Zhen's study, Jia Zhen was sitting at the table.Seeing Qin Keqing coming in, Jia Zhen quickly got up and closed the door. This was the harbinger of wind and rain that Qin Keqing was most familiar with.

Seeing Qin Keqing standing still, Jia Zhen had already clung to Qin Keqing's back, resisted Qin Keqing, fumbled with her hands and said with a smile, "Ke'er, you're finally here. You've made me sick for more than a month." gone."

Qin Keqing desperately wanted to move Jia Zhen's hand away, but found it was useless, so she said coldly: "I can tell you, if you don't want to see me again tomorrow, just do it like this!"

Jia Zhen didn't stop, instead she put Qin Keqing's hand in that place and said, "Look, I don't want to be in such a hurry, but my brother can't wait. If you don't come, it will make me feel uneasy; if you come, it will be even worse." Makes me uneasy. You are becoming more and more disobedient now, and I can't control it so much. Just enjoy it once! You have read poetry and books, so you naturally know what Li Bai said, "you must be happy in life, don't make gold The bottle is empty to the moon' this principle!"

At this moment, Qin Keqing's heart felt like weeping blood, and she endured it numbly.However, Jia Zhen is like a tiger and leopard, ravaging Keqing, her prey, to her heart's content.Although Qin Keqing had changed her previous attitude, Jia Zhen didn't want to stop at all.

After a while, Jia Zhen saw that Ke Qing was dealing with herself almost numbly, and said a little unhappy, "Ker, what do you really want? Do you despise me? Okay, then I will let you find out how you used to feel."

After finishing speaking, Jia Zhen carried Keqing to the table, opened the drawer, took out two pills, forced them into Qin Keqing's mouth, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip of Keqing. Seeing that Keqing had swallowed the pills, He smiled and said, "Ke'er, after a while you will remember how we were gods before."

But after a while, everything became blurred for Ke Qing.

On the morning of August 26, there were bursts of crying in Ningguo Mansion.It turned out that Qin Keqing, who had been ill for a long time, died.

It is said that Qin Keqing likes to watch the scenery on Tianxiang Tower the most, so she finally lay peacefully in the resting room of Tianxiang Tower.

The girl Ruizhu didn't want to give up Qin Keqing's friendship, and she also died in Tianxiang Tower.Another girl, Baozhu, feels that Qin Keqing has nothing to do, and is willing to be Qin Keqing's adopted daughter and guard the spirit of Qin Keqing, and promises to go to the nunnery after Qin Keqing's funeral, and wishes to pray for Qin Keqing and Baozhu for life.

On August 28th, the Imperial City received the first battle report on the battlefield in Mobei, saying that the Northern Expedition Army led by King Beijing and General Shenwu had defeated the Dog Army north of Helan Mountain and recovered two occupied counties.

The emperor was overjoyed, and ordered the prince Mizusawa and the household servant Zhang Zhao to take the rewards from the court and send them to the battlefield in Mobei to further boost morale.

At the same time, Lin Ruhai, who was far away in Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, was falling ill in bed at this time, and could no longer go to work in the government office due to illness.Daiyu watched her father's health worsen day by day, and was so anxious that she personally served Lin Ruhai to drink soup and medicine every morning and evening, working tirelessly, only hoping for a miracle to happen.

On the first day of September, some of Lin Ruhai's colleagues from the government office of Yangzhou, accompanied by Li Wenzheng, came to visit.Lin Ruhai once again explained many things about the funeral, and everyone sighed and comforted them before leaving.

After breakfast on the second day of September, Lin Ruhai only drank some porridge, called Daiyu to him and said, "Yu'er, daddy is going to accompany your mother and your grandparents. Come here, daddy has something to tell you."

Daiyu already had tears in her eyes, sobbing endlessly, knelt in front of Ruhai's bed, and cried bitterly on Ruhai's body.Ruhai stroked Daiyu's head, forced a smile and said, "Yu'er, don't be sad, you listen to daddy."

Daiyu raised her tearful eyes, Ruhai stretched out her trembling hand to wipe Daiyu's tears, and said softly: "Yu'er, you are already ten years old, don't do this, okay? Daddy tells you, Daddy misses your mother now , I miss your grandparents. Dad wants to visit them, and wants to know how they are doing in that world. Don’t worry, even if Dad goes to that world, he will miss you. Dad will often entrust you with dreams. We can See you in a dream."

Daiyu looked at Lin Ruhai and asked suspiciously: "Father, is what you said true? Can we still meet in our dreams?"

Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "Of course, your mother, your grandparents, and I will meet you in your dreams. You can tell us in your dreams what you want to say or do. You have to remember, Your grandfather said, Yu'er, even though you are a girl, you will definitely shine on our Gusu Lin family. You have read poetry and books since you were a child, and you have to keep what you have learned in your heart and put it into action. Do you understand what your father said? "

Daiyu nodded and said: "Father, Yu'er knows that no matter what happens, she must live a good life and remember that I am the daughter of the Lin family in Gusu."

Lin Ruhai said softly: "Yu'er remembers this, so dad can rest assured. Yu'er, after dad leaves, you can follow your cousin Lian to your grandmother's house. Don't worry, when you turn 15, dad will let Uncle Lin come It's up to you to pick you up. If you want to stay in the capital, Uncle Lin will help you prepare a residence. If you want to go back to Gusu, our old house in Gusu will always be kept. We have an old house in Gusu to worship the fields, and our Lin family's ancestral grave Father hopes that one day, when Yu'er grows up, she will take the people you like and spend her whole life with you, as well as your children, to the ancestral grave of the Lin Family in Gusu, and see me, your mother, your grandparents, and at that time, we These people will look at you and smile in the sky, and even bless you!"

Daiyu tearfully said: "But daddy, Yu'er wants daddy to grow up with him." After that, Daiyu fell on Ruhai's body, shedding tears, very attached.

Lin Ruhai didn't dare to sigh at this time, but couldn't help the tears welling up in her eyes: Yu'er, the beloved daughter I can't let go of the most, is only ten years old at this time, the age when she should be innocent and coquettish, and should be the age where Cheng Huan's parents are happy little girl.She is the only bloodline of a century-old scholarly family in Gusu, five generations of princes, but she will soon be an orphan without parents, brothers and sisters!How I wish to see her grow up safely and healthy into a big girl, marry a good husband, and have a few lovely children-but, I have to leave!Can't see these anymore!

Seeing Daiyu's weak body lying beside him, Lin Ruhai felt pain in his heart.

Lin Ruhui stretched out her thin hand, stroked Daiyu's beautiful hair again, and said softly, "Yu'er, go to grandma's house in the future and get along with your cousins. You have to remember that you will get married in the future. If you want to marry someone who you love and cherish you, let him be self-motivated, upright, and good-natured. You must never co-wive with others, let alone be petty with others. The appearance and family background of the other party are not important, what is important Character. If someone forces you in the future, you should try to wait until you are 15 years old. Don’t worry, Uncle Lin will definitely come to see you around February [-]th, and Li Lei and Cousin Li Xun will also be in the capital. Mama's is."

Daiyu still shed tears and said, "Father, but Yu'er only wants dad now!"

Daiyu's words pierced Lin Ruhai's heart like a knife.

Lin Ruhai gently patted Daiyu's weak body with his hand and said, "Good Yuer, go and ask Uncle Lin and Nanny Wang to come in, I want to talk to them."

After hearing this, Daiyu had no choice but to get up and said, "Father, you are lying down. I'll go and call Mother Wang and Uncle Lin."
