Mother Jia asked Jia Lian to be called over, and then asked about the situation along the way.

Jia Lian said roughly.As for the matter of discussing customs in Huai'an, the people who went to pick up Daiyu this time depended on the people arranged by the big people. Jia Lian couldn't hide it and said everything.

Mother Jia heard what Jia Lian said, and said, "Fortunately, Zhen's family is here. As expected of my old relatives, I still miss our family. What about the letter?"

Jia Lian said directly: "I accidentally dropped the letter into the water, and it's gone. It's just a letter written by Mrs. Zhen's family. From what Zhen Baoyu said, I guess it's just to connect the relationship between the two families. There shouldn't be anything else."

Jia Mu was so angry by Jia Lian: "You make your own claims! You are just like your father, and you will make me angry!"

Mother Jia waited for herself to recover, and instead of beating around the bush, she asked directly, "Your Uncle Lin has gone, so what do you do with the Lin family's money? Don't let Yu'er suffer!"

Jia Lian said in amazement: "This is all handled by the Lin family. My relative with a different surname is helping to bury Uncle Lin. I have nothing to do with property matters. If the ancestor wants to know, he can just ask his cousin."

Jia Mu threw the teacup on the table next to Jia Lian and scolded, "You are just trying to annoy me! What did I ask you to do?"

Jia Lian tilted his head, dodged it, and said aggrievedly: "The old lady told me to bring my cousin here properly. I think I have tried my best, and I will not hesitate to confront the government, so as not to hurt my cousin at all, and bring her back intact. The cousin brought it back! What is the old lady not satisfied with now? How can you call me a waste?"

For a moment, Jia's mother didn't know whether Jia Lian really thought so, or pretended to be like this.

But now she was impatient to talk to Jia Lian about these useless things, and said directly to Jia Lian, "Okay, you can go."

After Jia Lian left, Jia's mother thought carefully.

According to Jia Lian, all the Lin family's wealth is in Daiyu's hands, so how can she coax it all out?Now Yu'er lives in Lixiangyuan.When I came back this time, it seemed that I was not as close to myself as before.

Mother Jia thought that Daiyu had given the Jia family 2 taels of banknotes, which should be enough for a period of time.Now that Yu'er has just arrived, I'd better wait until later.

Jia Mu called Yuanyang and other maids in, and waited for the little maids to clean up the broken porcelain in the room before she asked Yuanyang, "Daiyu came home today, why didn't Baoyu not see? Where did he go?"

Yuanyang hurriedly said: "Baoyu left the city early in the morning, saying that he was looking for an old friend. He must not know that Miss Lin will come back today."

Jia Mu said, "That's all. When Baoyu comes back, you let him come to see me. He must be happy when Daiyu comes."

Daiyu took people to Lixiangyuan.

The front yard and the rear of the Lixiangyuan were complete, and Daiyu let the male servants like Lin Ping and Lin An live in the front yard, and she brought a group of maids to live in the back yard.There is a door leading to the street in Lixiangyuan, and Lin Ping ordered the Lin family servants to guard it.

There is a corner door in the southwest of Pear Fragrance Court. After crossing the narrow road, there is the east courtyard of the main house where Mrs. Wang lives.Daiyu also felt Mrs. Wang's scrutiny today, and she could see that Mrs. Wang didn't like her.However, it has nothing to do with her that she doesn't like her.Now he is just borrowing from Jia's house and seeking asylum.But there is a door to go in and out of Jia's house, and he is responsible for food and clothing, so naturally he doesn't need to look at Mrs. Wang's face.Daiyu asked someone to lock the corner door and took the key in her hand. (Note 1)

This Lixiangyuan has obviously been repaired now, and it should not be prepared for myself.Mother Jia wanted to live in her yard, so how could she prepare another yard for herself?However, since Mother Jia said that the Pear Fragrance Courtyard was for her to live in in front of everyone, no matter what purpose the Pear Fragrance Courtyard was intended to be used for, she did not intend to give it up.

She likes it here.This is the place where my grandfather rested in his later years.She had never seen her grandfather before, looking at the pear tree in the yard, thinking about how her grandfather was recuperating in the yard when the pear blossoms were fragrant.

Daiyu was sad for a while, and began to think about her future plans.

Now that he has arrived in Jia's mansion, he is not completely safe and worry-free.

The Zhen family is Prince Zhongshun's natal family.The letter from the Zhen family to the Jia family was destroyed by myself, but I don't know if the Zhen family wrote a letter to Prince Zhongshun's mansion, asking people in the mansion to monitor him.Therefore, now I still have to be cautious in my words and deeds.

Father had analyzed the situation in the capital for himself.Now the emperor is slowly taking power, but the Supreme Emperor is still there, even if the Lin family presents the evidence of the Zhen family's crimes to the emperor, the emperor will not immediately attack the Zhen family.During this period, I have to keep a low profile.

Zhen Baoyu's behavior shows that the Zhen family only has suspicions about the Lin family, and has no real evidence. Otherwise, they will not let them go after they can't find anything in Huai'an.

Now, since I just came to Jia's mansion, it's better to be careful.My side might be under surveillance, so just buy some food and drink when the Lin family goes out, and don't get in touch with the Minister of Rites.The memorial to the emperor was mainly delivered by Xue Pan.

Lin Daiyu decided to wait two months before talking.With the 2 taels of bank notes that I gave to the Jia family, within two months, the Jia family should not ask myself for the Lin family's wealth so quickly.Two months later, there was still no movement from the royal family, so Daiyu decided to write down the things her father asked her to recite silently, and asked Lin Ping to find a chance to send them out.Presumably in two months, when the Wangfu sees that there is no movement from the Lin family, the suspicion will be dispelled, and the surveillance will not be so strict.

Xue Pan here.

Xue Pan took Mrs. Xue, Baochai, Shen Yi and many servants, as well as hired bodyguards, to Beijing by land.

Although it was on a hurry, but because of Shen Yi's presence, it became very different from before.

Shen Yi didn't go well in the imperial examination before, so he went out to travel around the world.In the Daqing Dynasty, there was basically no place he hadn't been to.Moreover, Shen Yi is a literati at heart, and he is very familiar with the development and allusions of various places.

Along the way, Shen Yi introduced Xue Pan and Baochai.What is the place here, what happened in history, what impact it caused, and what poems, articles, and allusions were published.

It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.Xue Pan also walked this road in his previous life, so he didn't find it unusual.Only now do I realize that this was only because I was ignorant at the time.

I used to see mountains as mountains and water as water.Listening to Mr. Shen's explanation all the way now, Xue Panjue, the mountains in his eyes are no longer mountains, and the water is no longer water. It is full of rich history.The Xue family felt that they had opened their eyes.

Xue's family went all the way to the capital, passing by the vicinity of Mount Liang in Shandong, Shen Yi pointed to the top of the nearby hill and said, "This is Mount Liang, the famous Liangshan Park is here!"

Xue Pan looked at several mountain ranges, which were no different from other mountain ranges on the road.Xue Pan asked: "Sir, didn't you say it was Liangshan Park? Why is there only mountains here, but no water? Where is the water park?"

Shen Yi said: "The sea has changed, the world has changed, the Yellow River has changed its course, and the water ponds have long since disappeared."

Xue Pan looked at it, sighing for a while.How many heroes of Liangshan back then have passed away now.The water moor has disappeared, but Liangshan stands still.As the saying goes, how many things in ancient and modern times are all jokes. (Note 2)

Xue Pan was feeling emotional when suddenly more than a dozen people jumped out of the road ahead, each holding a sword, and shouted: "Who are you waiting for? If you want to live from here, you need to save money to buy roads!"

Xue Pan was a little dumbfounded for a moment.Just now he was still thinking about the Liangshan heroes in history, and immediately a group of current Liangshan heroes appeared in front of him to rob.

Xue Pan didn't want to quarrel with them, so as not to cause casualties, he asked: "Dare to ask all the heroes, how much money do I need to buy the road when I wait for the past?"

Several big men on the opposite side looked at each other and said: "Seeing that you are passers-by, we will not make it difficult for you. As long as you hand over 1000 taels of silver, we will let you pass!"

Xue Pan was surprised, the amount was a bit large, so he couldn't help but glance at Shen Yi.

He can take out the money, but Xue Pan is afraid that after taking it out, he will reveal his wealth, and he will not be able to leave.

A person behind the Liangshan hero saw that Xue Pan had been silent for a long time, so he said directly: "Boss, why are you talking so much to them, just be quick and grab his mother."

Xue Pan quickly drew out his sword to respond.

This time, in order to guard against the Zhen family, Xue Pan brought with him all the young and middle-aged domestic servants of Yishui, and also brought people from the Escort Bureau.Therefore, Xue Pan is not afraid, but wants to protect his mother.

As for Baochai, she didn't need to protect herself, she had already drawn her sword and fought with one of the thieves.

Xue Pan and Baochai have been learning swords from Liu Xianglian for more than three years.Baochai's strength is not as good as her own, but her swordsmanship is far better than her own.Xue Pan's sword moves have routines, but after Baochai learned the routines, he dismantled the moves.

Xue Pan was fighting Liangshan heroes while paying attention to the overall situation.Xue Pan originally wanted someone to protect Mr. Shen, but he did not expect that Mr. Shen drew a soft sword from his belt, and wielded the sword with his left hand. The light of the sword was like a rainbow, elegant and natural.

Xue Pan did not expect that Mr. Shen was not only knowledgeable, but also kept secret, and even had a left-handed sword.

The people on the opposite side didn't expect that Xue Pan's side was actually full of stubbornness, so they whistled and withdrew together.

Someone from Xue's family wanted to chase him, but Xue Pan stopped him.Don't chase after the poor, so that there will be no accidents.

Since there are bandits here, they should not stay for long.Fortunately, the Xue family was not seriously injured.Six of them were lightly wounded. They were bandaged and sat in the carriage.The uninjured people drove their carriages away from this place.

After walking forward for half a day, Shen Yi suddenly stopped.

Shen Yi got out of the car and walked forward, and found that the road ahead had been tampered with, dug a pit, and there were bloodstains on the road.

Xue Pan and Baochai followed and asked Shen Yi what was going on.

Shen Yi touched the bloodstain with his hand, and then said: "The bloodstain is relatively fresh, it should be that there has been a robbery here in the past two days, but I don't know who lost and who won."

Xue Pan asked his servants to level the road ahead, and filled in all the pits.

Baochai wandered around for a while, and suddenly found that there seemed to be something moving high up in the nearby grove.

The expert Baochai was bold and called out to Xue Pan: "Brother, there is something wrong here." Without waiting for Xue Pan to respond, he entered the grove with his sword.

Xue Pan quickly chased them in with a few people.

Baochai went into the grove for about five or sixty meters, and when she looked up, she saw two people hanging from the branches.Cloths were stuffed into their mouths, and their outer shirts were stripped off, leaving only a close-fitting one.

The people on the tree originally thought that he would die here!But he didn't expect that someone actually passed by here and found him.He has been hung up for a day, slightly dizzy from being hungry.He saw Baochai looking up at him, the sun shining through the crown of the tree, just shining on Baochai's face, she was out of the world, not like a mortal person.Could it be that God sent an immortal to save him?

When he saw Baochai saw them, he whimpered and kept shaking his body, making the leaves rustle.

Baochai ran to the tree several times and let them down.

The author has something to say: Note 1: The layout of Lixiangyuan is quoted from "Dream of Red Mansions".Original work: It turns out that this Lixiangyuan was the resting place of Mr. Rong in his later years. It is small and exquisite, with about ten houses, complete with front hall and back room.There is another gate leading to the street, through which Xue Pan's family can enter and exit; there is another corner gate on the southwest, which leads to a narrow passage, and after exiting the narrow passage, there is the east courtyard of Mrs. Wang's main house.
