Red Mansions Are Floating Clouds

of.

Su Yunheng was speechless, and after a while Xiaoliu sobbed: "Master, are you here to take us back?"

Su Yunheng patted him on the shoulder wordlessly, and stepped into the courtyard.

There are only two rooms in this small courtyard, the roof is thatched, the walls are mud bricks, there are a few hens scattered in the yard, and there is a low woodshed on one side, it seems that Xiao Liu came out of there.

If Xiaoliu hadn't been here, Su Yunheng would never have believed that this was the place where the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry lived.

Just as he was thinking, when the door opened, a man wearing a blue bamboo padded gown with a scholar's scarf on his head stepped out, and asked loudly, "Is the dog from the street here?" He didn't hear Xiao Liu's answer. , Looking up, I was stunned there.

Su Yunheng saw that although Lin Ruhai was thinner and darker, he still looked healthy, so he was relieved for Daiyu, and hurried forward to greet him with a big gift.

Lin Ruhai came to his senses, quickly helped him up, and said pleasantly, "Why are you here?"

Su Yunheng handed over the package in his hand and said, "Please enter the room and report in detail."

Lin Ruhai took the package and said repeatedly: "Yes, come first."

Xiao Qi was neatly dressed, and was already pouring tea quickly.Su Yunheng and Lin Ruhai were seated separately as guests and hosts. There were a few simple chairs and a table in the outer room, and only a few beds in the inner room.

Su Yunheng picked up the teacup and took a sip. The taste of the tea was bitter but not sweet. It was obviously the lowest grade of big leaf tea. Su Yunheng is not someone who has never tasted bitterness, but...

Xiaoqi at the side saw Su Yunheng glance at him, then lowered his head to sip his tea, knowing that he was dissatisfied with the tea, and was about to apologize.

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Don't blame them, I'm going to do as the Romans do." Xiao Qi breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

Su Yunheng smiled and said: "Uncle Shi, you have worked hard. Sister Lin asked me to send you the package." The call of "Sister Lin" was natural and kind, and Lin Ruhai couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

There was no time to care about these things, Lin Ruhai hurriedly opened the package to see that there was a wooden box inside, and when the box was opened, it was full of banknotes and broken silver.Lin Ruhai couldn't help laughing, this kid really thought he was out to suffer.

Su Yunheng also smiled knowingly when he saw that Lin Ruhai had two hidden guards of his own, no matter what, he would not be short of money.

Su Yunheng suddenly remembered the letter and the jade pendant, so he took it out from his pocket and handed it over.

Lin Ruhai put the jade pendant away first, and then opened the letter. The two thin sheets of paper were filled with greetings, but when talking about herself, she only said that she was doing well.

Lin Ruhai watched it twice, and couldn't help sighing: "I don't know how Yu'er is doing in Jia's residence..." Then he asked Su Yunheng: "Is the old lady in Jia's residence still in good health?"

Su Yunheng smiled slightly and said: "When I left Beijing, I heard that I was seriously ill, but I received a report two days ago, saying that I have recovered." But he didn't tell Lin Ruhai about the various conspiracies and tricks inside.

Lin Ruhai originally expected to live in this small town for two or three years, and he only hoped that when he returned to Beijing, he would not delay his daughter's marriage age, so he could be regarded as a teacher in this small town with peace of mind.It's just that now that she heard the news about her daughter, she suddenly felt like returning home, and it seemed that she couldn't bear it for a moment.

Su Yunheng waved to Xiao Qiyi, and Xiao Qi immediately went out to inspect the surroundings with Xiao Liu, and came back after a while and said: "No one is here." Then he consciously went out to be vigilant.

Su Yunheng said at this time: "It's good to teach Shibo to know that now the concubine Xiande has given birth to the youngest son of the emperor, and Prince Teng Wang has also been promoted to the chief assistant of the cabinet. Your Majesty loves this little son very much. I am afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to wait. Your Majesty sent me here, and if the capital is in turmoil, immediately send troops to the north to serve the king." He took out a black jade tiger carving from his bosom.

Lin Ruhai was slightly startled when he saw the jade carving, then nodded and sighed: "I think those people in the capital are still staring at your father, who would have thought that His Majesty would hand over such an important thing to a young crown prince?" children?" Then he said sadly: "I don't know how many innocent people died."

Su Yunheng comforted him and said: "With the information collected by Uncle Shi here, those generals who followed Wang Ziteng have already been replaced by their own people, which has greatly benefited the people."

Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said, "I just followed the trend at the right time, that's all, it doesn't count as any credit."

Seeing his sleepy look, Su Yunheng said again: "I don't think this place will be in chaos for a long time. Why don't Shi Bo go back to Beijing quietly first?"

Just as Lin Ruhai had this intention, upon hearing what Su Yunheng said, he said, "It's not too late, I'm leaving today!" As soon as the words fell, a child outside the door shouted: "Sir, I'm here to bring you food!" But it is a student who comes to deliver meals every day.

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid I can't leave today, but tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Su Yunheng smiled and said, "I'll send a team of guards in disguise to protect you."

Lin Ruhai stroked his beard, shook his head and said: "No need, there are too many people but it will attract suspicion. I will return to Beijing quietly, and I will not enter the city, just outside the city."

Su Yunheng nodded and said: "Uncle Shi, be careful all the way, so let Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi go back to Beijing with you."

Hearing this from outside the door, Xiao Liu couldn't help but feel depressed again. Following Su Yunheng, he could fight and kill, while following Lin Ruhai, he only had food, rice, oil, salt, laundry and cleaning. He glanced at the hens pecking at the yard, and hated to think that he still had to deal with old hens. Well, my secret guard is really well-known.

Su Yunheng took his leave first and went to the garrison. Lin Ruhai first notified the families of the students, saying that he was going back to his hometown and would not come again.

In the early morning of the next day, it was just two simple packages and they were ready to go on the road. Lin Ruhai got into the simple carriage he bought, and Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi consciously sat in the driver's seat. Many students who had taught and their parents brought eggs, steamed buns Wait for things to come and see you off.

It was not until the sun rose that Lin Ruhai and the three were able to escape.Arriving at a deserted place outside the town, Lin Ruhai lifted the curtain of the car, took out a letter and said to Xiaoliu, "Go and give this letter to Shi Zi, and ask him to write a reply and bring it back."

Xiaoliu's spirit was shaken, and he accepted the letter with a resounding promise, and then disappeared.

Lin Ruhai couldn't help smiling when he saw it, and finally he could go back to Beijing. Although he still couldn't appear in front of everyone, he was at least a little closer to his precious daughter.

Let's say that Xiao Liu took the letter and sent it to Su Yunheng, and when Su Yunheng opened it, he poured out a jade pendant, which was exactly the jade pendant that Daiyu asked him to bring over.Su Yunheng knew that the jade pendant was an heirloom of the Lin family, so he couldn't help being a little surprised. When he read the letter again, there were two letters. One was to explain the purpose and usage of the jade pendant to Su Yunheng in detail. He hoped that the gold and silver in Suzhou could help He, the other letter was addressed to the steward of the old house of the Lin family in Suzhou, asking him to follow Su Yunheng's instructions and donate the Lin family's grain storage if necessary.

At the end of the letter, he said that it was enough to have Xiaoqi by his side, and Xiaoliu was aggressive by nature, and staying with him would only cause trouble, so let him still follow Su Yunheng.

Xiaoliu was still waiting for Su Yunheng to write a reply letter to take back, but seeing that Su Yunheng put away the letter, stood up and walked outside the door, he couldn't help asking: "Master Lin said he wanted to reply..."

Su Yunheng raised his voice to call Ah Jiu, and Ah Jiu flashed over immediately.Su Yunheng said: "Let Xiao Liu go to the kitchen to be a cook, and when will he return to Beijing?"

Ah Jiu quickly complied, glanced at Xiao Liu secretly, and secretly smiled inwardly. It must be because the future father-in-law who did not take good care of the son had suffered this retribution, and secretly made a note in his heart that he must be more respectful to Lin Ruhai in the future.

Xiao Liu felt so sad and happy that he could finally stay by Shizi's side again, and isn't the military camp a place where you can fight with elders every day?But what about the cook, it sounds worse than sleeping in the firewood room before!

Early this morning, the carrier pigeon brought the good news, Chengying handed the letter to Daiyu, Daiyu read it and said with a smile: "It's rare to have good news these days."

Seeing Daiyu happy, Cheng Ying and Chi Xiao immediately surrounded her.

Daiyu laughed and said, "His Royal Highness the Princess gave birth to twin girls. The mother and the baby are safe. I heard that Duke Ding fainted from fright. I don't know if it's true or not."

Chi Xiao and Cheng Ying also laughed when they heard this, and Xiang Yun came over when they heard it.Every time the carrier pigeon brought letters, he didn't know where they came from. Because Daiyu didn't want to tell, Xiangyun didn't ask. At this time, when he heard that His Royal Highness the eldest princess had given birth to twins, he also smiled and said, "The mansion is going to take care of it again." It’s a congratulatory gift, and a few days ago I heard that there are not enough things in Curry, and I have to go out to buy.”

It's only been a while, and the things in the library are empty again. Sure enough, there are many gifts received, and there are also many gifts given.

Because this day is the day when the female relatives enter the palace to pay their respects, Mrs. Wang has no face to see her daughter. She thought that no one in Jia's mansion would enter the palace, but she did not expect that Jia's mother would put on the clothes ordered by her to enter the palace early in the morning to pay her respects.

Mrs. Wang was afraid that Jia's mother would mention Baoyu's marriage to Yuanchun, so she was restless all day long, and Baochai and Aunt Xue couldn't calm down either.Unexpectedly, everyone waited for a long time and Jiamu did not come back, but they waited until Yuanchun sent someone to take Daiyu into the palace.

The tenth poisoning

I heard that Mrs. Wang dropped several teacups. I heard that Aunt Xue was talking to Baochai in the house and drove all the servants out. I heard that Aunt Zhao was scolded by Mrs. Wang when she went to inquire about the news. I heard...

After Daiyu entered the palace, all kinds of news spread wildly in Jia's mansion, but the people left behind in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion couldn't be happy in the face of those people's flattering and meaningful smiles. Of course, Zijuan was still a little happy

Chengying and Chixiao followed Daiyu to the gate of the palace and stopped going in. Daiyu repeatedly asked her not to act rashly. Chixiao Chengying was also very helpless. The inner guards of plum blossoms were originally reserved for the royal family, and they belonged directly to Duke Ding. As usual, the dark guards are not allowed to enter the palace without incident, this time even if they want to follow them, they are not allowed to enter the palace.
