There is no phoenix

After a while, Nanny Wang and Lin Zhong came in.

Seeing Daiyu in front of her, Lin Ruhai hurriedly said: "Yu'er, you go outside to rest for a while, Dad wants to talk to Mother Wang and Uncle Lin, okay?"

Daiyu knew that Lin Ruhai would have something to say to Mother Wang and Lin Zhong, so she hurriedly nodded and backed out.

Lin Ruhai called Wang Momo and said: "Wang Momo, Yu'er will rely on you to worry about it in the future. You watched Yu'er grow up, and you are like Yu'er's relatives. After I leave, you and Xueyan will continue Accompany Yu'er to Rongguo Mansion, what kind of person Yu'er will marry in the future, please teach me a lot, don't let Yu'er be a little girl with others, and be a husband with others. In the capital, you must see Lin Zhong at least once a year Once, tell Lin Zhong about Yu'er's life in Jia's mansion, but don't let the people in Jia's mansion know."

Wang Momo said: "Master, don't worry, Yu'er is my master and also my child, I will do my best to protect her."

Lin Ruhai called Lin Zhongdao again: "After I leave, you take a whole family to the capital and help Yu'er take care of the house and shop. Nanny Wang will find time to tell you about Yu'er's situation in Jia's mansion. How will you contact me in the future?" , You two discuss it. But remember, you can’t let Yu’er know all this now, she is still a child, she is weak and strong, I don’t want her to bear so many things. You can’t let Jia’s know this everything."

Lin Zhongdao: "Brother, don't worry! The old house in Gusu worships Tianpuzi's ancestral grave. I will keep a room for my reliable family to take care of, and Lin Yang Linzhou is in Gusu. I will take care of the property in the capital. If you need anything, you can ask Li Xun Li Lei will help, don't worry, big brother!"

Lin Ruhai said: "Lin Zhong, you should remember that when Yu'er is 15 years old, you must go to Jia's mansion to pick up Yu'er in person. If the old lady or others don't want to, you can just tell me that Yu'er is 15 years old. If you want to sweep the grave of your ancestors, I will also explain clearly in the letter, and then you let Yuer rest in that house with peace of mind. Yuer has grown up since she was 17 years old. No matter what, I believe she can handle everything, and her marriage is the same At that time, Lin Zhong, if you want to stay in the capital, you can stay there and continue to help Yu'er. If you don't want to go back to Gusu in the capital, you can do it. But in the past few years, because of the friendship between our brothers for so many years, you have to work hard Year!"

Speaking of which, Lin Ruhai took out the yellow decree and the bank notes from under the pillow, and handed them to Lin Zhongdao: "Lin Zhong, you know this decree, take it with you when you go to Beijing, and put it away in case something happens to Yu'er , this decree should be enough to protect Yu'er's life. The 60 taels were also taken to the capital for storage in the future for Yu'er's living expenses. The remaining 5 taels were reserved for my funeral expenses when I returned to Gusu. There were still 5 taels Ten thousand taels was given to Yuer’s cousin, and he worked hard to pick up Yuer several times. There is still 30 taels, and now my family’s other savings and money items are all taken by Yuer’s cousin to Yuer’s grandmother. I will explain clearly to Yu'er's cousin in a while. I only hope that the Jia family will see my sincerity and treat my Yu'er kindly. I have also written a letter, and the explanation in the letter has clearly explained what I have to explain. I've figured it out, I'll let Yu'er hand it over to her grandmother. You don't have to worry about the rest of the chores."

After arranging all this, Lin Ruhai seemed to let go of a heavy burden and let out a long sigh of relief.

Madam Lin Zhongwang comforted Lin Ruhai for a while, before Lin Ruhai lay down to rest tired.

On the morning of the third day of September, Lin Ruhai only drank half a bowl of porridge.After resting for a while, Li Wenzheng and his son came to have a look. Seeing Daiyu with tears in her eyes beside Ruhai, she couldn't help crying.

Lin Ruhai saw that Daiyu's eyes were red and swollen from crying due to her illness getting worse these days, so she hurriedly said to Daiyu, "Yu'er, you can sit outside with Brother Li for a while, and Dad can talk to Uncle Li."

After hearing this, Daiyu got up silently, walked to the swing in the backyard, and couldn't help sobbing and crying like rain.

Seeing Daiyu like this, Li Tai stepped forward to comfort him: "Sister Yu'er, don't be sad, Uncle Lin will be fine."

Daiyu couldn't help crying loudly: "Brother Tai, my father said that he is leaving."

After hearing this, Li Tai stepped forward to hold Daiyu's hand and said, "Sister Yu'er, don't be afraid, if Uncle Lin is really gone, you go to our house, okay?"

Daiyu cried and shook her head, "But my father said he would send me to the capital and let me live with my grandmother. Brother Tai, my mother is gone, and my father is leaving too. I have no family anymore."

Seeing Daiyu crying so heartbroken, Li Tai had no choice but to comfort Daiyu: "Sister Yu'er, you will treat me as your brother from now on, okay? When I grow up, I will go to the capital to find you, just wait I came to you, tell me now, where is your grandmother in the capital?"

Daiyu cried: "My grandmother is in the Rongguo Mansion in the capital. But brother Tai, the capital is so far away, your father won't let you come."

Li Taidao: "Sister Yu'er, don't worry, I will definitely come to you!"

"Sister Yu'er, hurry up, the master calls you," Li Lei suddenly ran over.

After hearing this, Daiyu wiped away her tears, followed Li Lei and Li Tai hurriedly followed.

At noon that day, Lin Ruhai died of illness at the age of 50 with great concern and regret.

At the same time, the people in Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion were shocked by the sudden death of Qin Keqing in Beijing.When Sister Feng heard the news, she took her girl and rushed there early in the morning.

In the afternoon of the next day, Mother Jia was discussing Qin Keqing's death with Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, when a girl rushed over and said, "Old lady, someone from the palace wants to see the old lady! Director Lai is accompanying someone in the hall outside." Well, the two masters just went out."

After hearing this, Jia Mu cleaned up in a hurry and went out in a hurry.

When Jia's mother came to the outer hall, she saw a young eunuch sitting drinking tea, and Lai Da was talking with him.

Seeing Mother Jia coming out, the little eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to salute Mother Jia and said, "Old Madam, I am Xiao Xiazi next to Lady Jia. Lady Shi asked me to give each of the three girls in the mansion a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone. There is a letter to the old lady, and I want the old lady to open it." After finishing speaking, he submitted a letter.

Mother Jia took the letter and thanked her quickly: "Thank you, father-in-law, for your hard work." She signaled Yuanyang to give it to the superior.

Yuanyang understood, and hurriedly presented the reward seal, the little eunuch took it with a smile, thanked him, and got up to leave.Mother Jia asked Lai Da to be sent outside the gate of the house.

Mother Jia took the letter, glanced at it, was shocked, and hurriedly said to Yuanyang: "Quickly ask the two wives to come to my room, and the two masters come back, let them come to see me quickly."

Seeing that Jia Mu's expression was different from usual, the girls knew that the matter must be serious, so they hurriedly agreed.

When Mother Jia returned to the house, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang hurried over.

Mother Jia handed the letter from Yuan Chun in the palace to Mrs. Wang to read, and sighed: "Look, what should we do now? The man is dead, and we don't know if there will be a catastrophe in the house. "

Mrs. Wang read the letter and said in surprise: "Brother Rong's wife is actually the niece of the current emperor? The only daughter left by Prince Yizhong? No wonder there are those things in her house!"

It turned out that as early as the second day after Qin Keqing's death, Jia Yuanchun, the female official in the palace, who was the eldest daughter of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, was going to the imperial study to help the emperor sort out the books. , stopped in a hurry, and seemed to hear the voice of Dai Quan beside the emperor Shui Ruoyang, so he listened carefully.

Just listen to Dai Quan said: "Xia Ying, the emperor heard about the death of Qin Keqing in the Ningguo Mansion, and almost fainted. You must know that the emperor has been guilty of being loyal to the prince all these years, and he still wants to be with this niece The little princess Qin Keqing made up for it, but now the little princess died of illness suddenly. The emperor is sad and has not eaten for two meals. Now the eldest prince is in Luoyang, the second prince left early, and the prince went to Mobei. You go to the north now Prince Jing's Mansion, quickly invite the fourth prince into the palace, and say that the emperor misses the fourth prince, hurry up!"

After hearing this, Yuan Chun was afraid that people would find out, so he quickly retreated.

At noon the next day, Yuan Chun came out of the imperial study and passed the Daming Palace, and saw Zhou Guifei hurried to Chengde Hall with Wang Taiyi.Yuan Chun hurriedly grabbed a maid to ask carefully, and the maid said: "The emperor is ill. I heard that he was in a bad mood yesterday, and he didn't eat dinner. He was very sad when he went to court today. When he stood up, he almost fell down. Mr. Dai called the imperial doctor. Hurry up and go there."

After Yuan Chun heard this, he hurried back to his room and quickly wrote the letter. In order not to attract attention, he asked Xiao Xiazi beside him to go to Jia's mansion to deliver the Four Treasures of the Study to some sisters.
