Raiders of the maid who crossed the Red Mansion

Seeing her elder brother hiding behind the scenes, Mu Ran felt surprised, called her elder brother, and offered her seat sideways for him.

The king of Dong'an sat down, pointed to the grand master's chair beside him, and motioned for Mu Ran to sit down too, took off the snuff bottle from his waist, picked out some with his nails, put it on his nose, took a deep breath, and shrugged his nose happily twice , just now said slowly: "What is the identity of Prince Zhongshun? There is only a manager and an imperial merchant who are making trouble, so he is worthy to stretch out his hand?"

Mu Ran is the concubine son of the old Dong'an County King. He has four brothers. He is the youngest. He lost his mother since he was a child. The first name, first entered the Imperial Forest Army, and then moved to Jinyiwei. The second and third elder brothers have married and separated, but he has not yet separated.

Although his character is a bit upright and arrogant, he respects and trusts this elder brother very much, and he must discuss with Mu Shi when he is in trouble.

Mu Ran knew that her elder brother liked to show off a little bit when he spoke, so she patiently waited for his next words.

However, the topic of Mu Shi went further, and he asked Mu Ran mysteriously: "A few years ago, Prince Zhongshun did a more leisurely thing, have you heard of it?"

"never heard of that."

Hearing Mu Ran's honest and serious answer, Mu Shi let out a snort, as if laughing at him for being boring, poked his head over, and said in a low voice, "Just because an actor disappeared, he sent the chief secretary in the mansion, Shang Rong who is in a hurry The dignitaries of the state government insisted that a young man of his family abducted this actor."

Mu Ran is not interested in this kind of flirting with comedians and jealousy. Just saying "actor" touched his suspicion again, and he couldn't help asking: "Actor? But that Jiang Yuhan?"

"Aha?" Mu Shi happily patted the tea table, staring at his brother's handsome and tough face, and smiled maliciously, "You know that too? I thought, you don't know anything about romantic affairs, fourth child." Woolen cloth."

Mu Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and didn't want to fuel his brother's conversation in this regard, so she could only ask, "Is Jiang Yuhan coming back?"

"I have to come back somewhere. Besides, it may not be that the son of the family has been abducted. The second master of Jia's family was so angry that he beat his son so hard that he almost didn't die. After half a month, this Jiang Yuhan Instead, he ran back."

Although Mu Ran is not as well versed in officialdom as his elder brother, when he heard this, he thought about something, and sneered: "I'm afraid this actor is not lost at all, but he is just looking for an excuse to teach me a lesson. Mr. Jia?"

"No, no." Mu Shi even shook his head and waved his hands, and smiled even more secretively, "No matter how much he loves Jiang Yuhan, King Zhongshun can care about a fourteen or five-year-old half-old kid. Isn't it just a joke if it spreads?"

Mu Ran let out a "huh" and raised her eyebrows. Now he finally understood that the elder brother made such a big detour, in fact, it was to show that the second steward of the Zhongshun Palace came to the door today to beg himself for the murder of his brother-in-law. In the past, the dignitaries of the Shangjia Mansion, whom King Zhongshun made a big fuss about, really have similarities.

I'm afraid it's not for something or someone on the surface, but for the bigger master behind it.

And these two things, either directly or in a tortuous way, point to the same "righteous master".

Having figured this out, Mu Ran couldn't help blurting out: "The Jia family?"

Seeing that the brothers and children can be taught, Mu Shi nodded in approval, but he still didn't get to the point of the problem, so he further pointed out: "In this generation, even if the Jia family still has some power, I'm afraid they won't be in the eyes of King Zhongshun. Thinking about it again, when it comes to these princes, dukes, and adults in Beijing, who is the closest to the Jia family?"

Mu Ran's heart was cold, and Huo Di looked at his brother with shock in his eyes.

Mu Shi stood up in satisfaction, and patted Mu Ran on the shoulder: "Would you like to be this witness? What will you say in the Shuntian Mansion Hall? Fourth, you should think carefully."

While talking and laughing, she walked out of the flower hall in a good mood, leaving Mu Ran alone with her head bowed in thought.

Among the "Four Kings and Eight Dukes" in Beijing, Jia's Mansion is the closest. Isn't that the Beijing Palace?

Mu Ran never expected that after a few years, two seemingly unrelated incidents would both involve his best friend!

According to the elder brother's analysis, the Zhongshun Palace used to be for Jiang Yuhan, and now it is for Xue Pan, just to teach the Jia family a lesson, and at the same time knock the mountain to shake the tiger, in fact, it is to attack the faction of King Jing of the North and the North!

In this way, whether he wants to speak or not, what to say, is tantamount to choosing a side between the two factions of the imperial court.

When Xue Biao returned home, he immediately discussed with Aunt Xue behind closed doors.

He ran around for a long time before he learned that Xue Pan was taken away. In fact, the person he killed had some backgrounds. The Shuntian Mansion could not bear the pressure of the Zhongshun Palace, so it could only put Xue Pan in prison first to obtain evidence. In the name of delaying the retrial for a few days, it means to let the Xue family quickly find a way to make things right, so that Jia Yucun will not be offended at both ends.

Xue Biao hastily donated 2000 taels of silver again, and consulted a famous criminal master. With his advice, he bribed all the people involved in the case, including the friend who had a drink with Xue Pan, the boss and assistant of "Zhijun Building" However, once the government asked about it, they only insisted that the other party made the first move, and the scene was chaotic, and no one could see whether Xue Pan killed the person.

In this way, both parties have circumstantial evidence, and even if they cannot be exonerated, at least they will try to get a wrongful sentence.

When she heard that Prince Zhongshun's mansion was involved, Aunt Xue was so anxious that she lost her mind and went to Rongguo Mansion to discuss ideas with Jia Zheng and his wife, but her daughter Baochai was still newly married, so she didn't dare to let her know.

The first night when we arrived at Lianhua Nunnery happened to be a clear night, the stars and the moon were in the sky, the shadows of flowers were in the window, and the wind blew the bamboos, sending out soft sounds like waves rising and falling, as if we were still in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Daiyu listened This familiar voice fell asleep quickly.

Zijuan served Daiyu to sleep, but she didn't fall asleep immediately. Instead, she went to the yard to cut a bamboo in the dead of night, cut off the branches and leaves, and danced in the courtyard under the moonlight.

She has always been a person with a sense of crisis and urgency. Although she has traveled to this world, how long she can stay in it, and whether she will wear it back in the end? For the time being, there is no need to worry about food and clothing, and even the ability to eat is useless.

Maybe one day, he will be hit on the back of the head again, and he will return to the big Shanghai of the 21st century, and he will have to be a third-rate supporting role in Shaoxing opera.

Besides, no matter which world you go to, having a healthy body is the most practical thing. For example, the one in it really made her marry Jia Baoyu as she wished. She has the body to manage the house, give birth, and marry her husband Old age?

Thinking of this, Zijuan danced the bamboo pole loudly, but she was afraid of waking up Daiyu, so she couldn't help but yell a few times to add to the fun.

After practicing for a while, Zijuan felt faint sweating on her back, and Zijuan withdrew her hands, and walked into Daiyu's room lightly, seeing that she was covered with a quilt, sniffing heavily, and sleeping very soundly, so she was relieved Go back to your room and fall asleep.

The next day, Zijuan assigned women to sweep the courtyard, and saw Daiyu coming out, having a good night's sleep, and her cheeks seemed plump, making her look even more beautiful.

"Miss, do you want to take a walk in the nunnery, but do you want me to accompany you?"

"No, I'll just go to the front yard and greet Master Liandu."

"That's right, at least the girl understands some human feelings!"

Zijuan clapped her hands excitedly, but Daiyu just fanned her eyelashes in confusion: "What did you say?"

Seeing Daiyu's bright eyes like autumn water, Zijuan was a little disappointed. It wasn't that Miss Lin suddenly became enlightened, it was just a coincidence that she kept the etiquette.

But that's okay, it doesn't matter if you become a monk or not, in this huge lotus nunnery, it is not the presiding master who has the final say, but the former princess, it would be great if the girl is willing to get closer to her.

Daiyu came to the front yard where Liandu lived, and Tweety was picking flowers and bottling them on the porch. Seeing Daiyu coming, she rushed up to greet her, said good morning to her, and then asked about Liandu, Tweety happily pointed at the door at the end of the corridor. In the room, it was said that Master was copying scriptures there early in the morning.

Daiyu was even more surprised. Xichun, the fourth younger sister in the Grand View Garden, also had a heart for Buddha, but she only practiced at home, and did not completely abandon her worldly thoughts.

In comparison, this concubine who has become a monk is really not just trying to find peace in the world, but is devoted to Buddha and is so devout.

She thanked Tweety, walked lightly, and went to the meditation room.

Before reaching the window, Daiyu smelled a ray of faint fragrance, like sandalwood musk deer, but also like a portrait, calming the heart and mind. After walking a few steps forward, she saw that the bamboo curtain on the window was half rolled up, revealing Liandu's half beautiful side face was indeed concentrating on his eyes, copying the scriptures very carefully.

Daiyu didn't dare to disturb her, she just stood quietly under the window, after a while Liandu finished copying a page, when she raised her hand to turn the book, she caught a glimpse of a figure outside the window as promised, got up and looked around, saw that it was Daiyu, hurriedly put down her brush , open the door and invite her in.

"How long has Miss Lin been here? Why didn't you call me out?"

"Not long, I'm going to knock on the door when Master finishes copying this page."

"The scriptures can be copied at any time, but the dew is heavy in the early morning. If you stand for a long time, you are afraid of getting cold. Don't do this in the future."

Liandu invited Daiyu to sit down, and called Tweety to make hot tea.

Daiyu couldn't back down, so she had to sit sideways, and when Cui'er went down to make tea, she stood up again, bowed deeply to Liandu, and said softly: "I just arrived yesterday, I was in a hurry, and I haven't thanked Master for taking me in." And Zicuckoo..."

She was originally in a calm mood, but when she said this, she couldn't help feeling sad, her eyes became hot, and she didn't dare to look up at Liandu.

Liandu sighed, took Daiyu's hand, and comforted her softly: "How do you say it's taking me in? The girl is willing to accompany me in this deserted place. I should be grateful. Besides, Zhenren Zhang said that Mrs. Jia Madam repeatedly reminded her to take good care of the girl, and she will be picked up soon. Fortunately, there are several scenic spots in the Lotus Nunnery, and the girl should not think too much about anything, just relax here for a while."

When Liandu said this, Daiyu felt sorry again, and said in a low voice, "I'd rather live here forever and serve the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas..."

Hearing that Daiyu's tone was brighter, Liandu smiled and teased her: "A permanent residence? How can it be done? Mrs. Jia still wants to find a good son-in-law for the girl. How can she be willing to let you serve the Buddha and Bodhisattva?"

Liandu originally wanted to make Daiyu happy, but he didn't expect to touch a deeper layer of sadness in her. Even though he resisted, his slender palms couldn't help trembling slightly.

Liandu noticed Daiyu's strangeness, and for some unknown reason, he quickly lowered his head to check her expression, and asked: "Miss Lin, what's the matter, but do you think it's cold in the room?"

Daiyu couldn't speak, she just pursed her lips tightly, forced a bleak smile, and shook her head.
