Red Mansions Are Floating Clouds

I ran, because a maid was drowned by the well yesterday, and I was afraid, so I hurried over here."

When Jia Zheng heard this, he was surprised and said, "Who is going to jump into the well?" He thought he was right and treated his servants harshly, so he ordered Jia Lian and Lai Da to come

Jia Huan stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Father, don't be angry. No one knows about this except the people in the wife's room. I heard my mother say..." Then he said quietly, "Brother Baoyu was in the wife's room the day before yesterday. Pulling his wife's girl, Jin Chuan, to rape him, and failing to rape him, he beat him up, and then Jin Chuan died of a fit of rage.

Jia Zheng's face was like gold paper, and he stopped questioning Baoyu, but ordered someone to tie him up and beat him up hard himself. It was not until Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu rescued Baoyu that the matter was over.

When Daiyu heard about it, she and Xiangyun went to see him. Everyone was there but the attacker was not there. She presumably went to ask Mingyan why Baoyu was beaten.

When it was time to light the lamp, Baoyu had already fallen asleep, and Zhou Rui's wife, Wu Xindeng's wife, and several other seniors came to pay her respects to Baoyu. I'm already asleep." Everyone just said a few words and left again.

At that moment, a woman from Mrs. Wang's office came to send a message, and asked someone from the second master to attack people. After thinking about it, she told Musk Moon and others: "My wife is calling for someone. You are born in the room. I will come as soon as I go." Went to the upper room with the woman

Mrs. Wang was waving a plantain fan on the couch and saw the attacker coming. She was displeased and said, "It doesn't matter who comes, but you are here again. Who will serve Baoyu?"

Xiren hurriedly laughed and said, "Second master just slept soundly, and those girls are well now, please rest assured, madam." After saying a few words about Baoyu's daily life, Xiren asked for rose dew The lady suddenly asked: "I heard Baoyu being beaten today in a trance. What did Huan'er say in front of the master, did you hear it?"

Mingyan told Xiren about this earlier, and Xiren was afraid of offending Aunt Zhao, so he refused to know: "I didn't hear that." After hesitating for a while, thinking of Baoyu and Daiyu, he said: "I am bold today. To put it bluntly, please tell the second master to move out of the garden and live outside the garden, no matter how you change the way, my wife will be fine."

Mrs. Wang was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly took the attacker's hand and asked, "Who did Baoyu mess with?"

Xiren hurriedly said: "Madam, don't worry, it's just that the girls in there are older, and Miss Lin lives nearby, and she is also a cousin. The second master often goes to play. Although they are sisters, they are divided into men and women. Better to move out”

Mrs. Wang then said: "Tell me honestly, does Baoyu have something with Miss Lin?"

Seeing Mrs. Wang's pressing questions, Xiren half-confessed, "I overheard the second master saying something bad to Miss Lin. I was afraid that the trouble would become difficult to deal with, so I rushed to ask my wife for advice."

Mrs. Wang's eyes were red with anger, and it was true that Daiyu's charming girl seduced Baoyu's heart. If the two of them were really engaged to get married, would Jia's mansion still have a place of its own in the future?Mrs. Wang thought for a while, then said with a smile: "My son, you have such a heart, you are so thoughtful, what a nice child, right?

Back to Lin Ruhai's message

Everyone Lai saw the servants of Lin's mansion gathered around, and wanted to show them the majesty of Jia's mansion, but seeing that Daiyu spoke first to appease the servants, he had no choice but to swallow back the majesty of Jia's mansion.

At that moment, Housekeeper Lin and Nanny Song greeted Daiyu and asked Daiyu to go to the accounting room to check the accounts. Lai everyone immediately became excited when they heard about the accounts. It's just a piece of fat

Daiyu looked back at everyone Lai's eyes were bright, she was gearing up, and said with a smile: "Mother Lai has never been to our Lin's house, and our garden is also very beautiful, sister-in-law Song, please stay with Mother Lai go shopping”

Everyone Lai immediately shook his head and waved his hands: "That's not okay, the old lady ordered me to put the situation on the girl's shoulders. If there is anything the girl doesn't understand, I can help."

Sister-in-law Song knew what Daiyu meant, and she winked at the other Lin family's mother who was standing beside her. The two of them went up to hold Lai's arm, and said with a smile: "It's not easy for Lai Come here, it’s okay if you don’t go for a stroll.” He dragged and dragged to the garden

A group of people went to the accounting room, the accountant had already avoided going out, the thick piles of account books on the table were extremely conspicuous

Butler Lin said: "Miss, please sit down first." Daiyu sat on the chair behind the table first. Seeing that Butler Lin and Nanny Song were still standing upright, she hurriedly asked him to sit down too. , and sat obliquely

Butler Lin said: "Before the master left, he told me that if he didn't come back for a while, let the girl take over the Lin family's property." He stood up again, scooped out a ledger and handed it over, "Miss, please look, these are all of the Lin family's property." industry"

Daiyu opened it and saw that there were more than a dozen banks distributed in more than a dozen cities. These banks and several pawnshops had the largest income. In addition, there were some silk and satin shops, restaurants, etc. There were big shoes, probably married to the Lin family. In addition to shops, there are also many farms and villages for the wives to marry, with the most near Suzhou, which were probably bought by the successive heads of the Lin family, and there are also many near the capital.

After reading it briefly, Daiyu was already gasping in her heart. There are so many shops and fields that make more than [-] yuan a year, and the Lin family's property is really astonishing.

Nanny Song saw that Daiyu was still so calm after reading the account book, she couldn't help admiring and asked for instructions: "There are a few families in the mansion who want to redeem the deed of sale, young lady..."

Daiyu said bluntly: "If there are no errands in important places, we will reward them with their contracts and let them go."

Nanny Song said: "That's not the case. It's just that the master's life and death are unknown. Aunt Qin eats fast and recites Buddhism every day. There is no serious master in the house, and some servants have no jobs. As time goes by, I'm afraid something will happen."

Daiyu said: "A young girl like me can't come back to support the family. The mansion will have to work for you two. Please be sure to restrain the servants. If my father comes back and sees the mansion is in a mess, I'm afraid he will be angry." Speaking of Lin Ruhai, he couldn't help sobbing stand up

Nanny Song also took out her handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and said, "Master is blessed with great fortune. The fortune teller said that he can live to 92 years old. He will surely turn the bad luck into good luck and come back safely."

Daiyu and Nanny Song cried to each other for a while, each of them took away the tears and Daiyu said, "I don't need to read these ledgers, please worry about Lin Bo in the future."

Butler Lin hurriedly got up and said: "This is not possible, the girl is now the head of the Lin family, and you must look at the accounts everywhere."

Daiyu had no choice but to order someone to pack the account book, and then ordered it to be mixed with other things and brought back to Jia's mansion. The purple cuckoo, snow geese, etc. were all standing outside the door, and when they heard the order, they hurriedly searched for the burden and packed things.

Daiyu thought that there was nothing to do, so she wanted to go to the inner courtyard for a while, butler Lin hurriedly said: "There is still one thing I haven't reported. Mr. Shi from Gutengxuan has gone back to his hometown, and left a message saying that he will come back in a few months."

Daiyu nodded, then raised her foot to leave, Lin Butler hesitated to say: "Miss, please forgive me, this old slave just made up his own mind and sent someone to invite the son of Duke Dingguo to come to the house..."

Daiyu wondered, "What do you want him to do?"

Butler Lin hurriedly said: "The master once ordered that if there is anything wrong with the mansion or the girl, you should go and ask Ding Guogong for help. At that time, the master fell into the water and disappeared. The son of Ding Guogong came to the mansion specially, saying that he had I sent someone to look for the master, and I will definitely find the master, and said that if there is anything to do in the future, I will go to him directly." Seeing that Daiyu's face is okay, he continued, "This old slave sees that the son is young and promising, and Ding Guogong will definitely I was busy with work, so I agreed. This morning, the son of the world came again, saying that he had some very important news to tell the girl face to face, so the old slave wrote a letter to ask the girl to go back to the house..."

Daiyu was silent for a while, seeing Steward Lin's uneasy look, she suddenly smiled and said, "Uncle Lin doesn't need it, I think the son is an upright man, nothing will happen, and you don't have to keep your mouth shut."

Butler Lin let out a sigh of relief and said, "Forget it's time for the son to arrive."

Daiyu said: "I'm afraid it won't be so fast, I'd better go to the inner courtyard first, and send someone to call me when the son comes." Then he went to the inner courtyard

Now that his father is gone, what worse news can there be? I have never met that son, but the son raised by a time-traveling girl can't be too outrageous, right?Daiyu suddenly remembered that the time-traveling girl was a bit outrageous, and she couldn't help sighing. Speaking of which, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess hasn't contacted her for a long time.

In the Hanbi building, Zijuan and Xueyan are packing together the paper, ink, pens and inkstones and ledgers that Daiyu used to like, and some top-quality official swallow tremella purchased in the mansion, etc.

Daiyu thought of Aunt Qin, so she went to talk to her again, and then went to the lake by the way

Daiyu was walking in the grove by the lake, surrounded by centuries-old trees with dense shade, chirping birds, dappled sunlight shining on her body from time to time, the fresh air almost made people forget their worries, if her father was still alive ...... Daiyu raised her head and looked forward with a sore nose. Through the wet tears, she stood alone less than ten steps ahead with her hands behind her back

Daiyu hurriedly folded it, but it wasn't Lin Ruhai, but a young man, wearing a moon-white dark-patterned round-neck gown, with a waist belt about an inch or so wide, making his waist look slim, with broad shoulders, narrow hips and long legs, and he was also tall. , You can enter the national flag class after traveling to modern times, Daiyu swallowed untimely

Su Yunheng saw Lin Daiyu standing less than ten steps away from him. Under the sun, her skin was as pale as snow, her expression was haggard, and she was so thin that her bones could be seen.
