Red Mansions Are Floating Clouds

Cold sweat broke out on his back, and he hesitated for a while. At this time, a black-faced man followed behind him gently pushed the prefect, and the prefect came back to his senses, took the robe and put it on his body with trembling hands.

Everyone else stayed outside, only Zhifu followed the boy into the room. There was a strong smell of medicine in the room. An old doctor was sitting by the bed to feel his pulse.

The prefect took a few steps forward and said, "I don't know how Mr. Su's condition is?"

The doctor withdrew his hand, stroked his beard and said slowly: "It's much better than a few days ago, the smallpox this time is so dangerous that I almost lost my life." After speaking, he got up and saluted the prefect

The magistrate cautiously stepped forward, seeing through the transparent gauze curtain that Su Yunheng's face was thin, and there were faint pockmarks on his face, it was obvious that the doctor left behind from the smallpox was trying to lift the curtain to let the magistrate take a closer look, the magistrate was in a hurry He stepped back a few steps, waved his hands again and again and said, "I'll come to visit Mr. Su some other day" and left the room in a frenzy.

The people waiting outside laughed when they saw the magistrate coming out in a state of embarrassment. A servant waited for him to take off his outer robe and threw it into the fire and burned it. The magistrate wanted to jump into the fire and burn himself

The black-faced man took a step forward with a questioning look on his face. Seeing this, the magistrate was displeased and said, "Lord Su is really seriously ill. I think we should come back to see him in a few days." Hearing this, the black-faced man couldn't help but disappointment

This catastrophe was finally avoided, Su Yunheng woke up in the afternoon, Song Zi fetched water for him in a big copper basin to wash his face, when Su Yunheng was about to wash his face, he found something was wrong, reflected on the water surface, how did he lose weight overnight, There are so many pockmarks?

Song Zi suppressed a smile and said, "It's none of my business that Master Shi's face became like this. Miss Lin painted it for you when she came here in the morning."

Su Yunheng went to look for the mercury mirror, and it was indeed painted on, but it was a bit rough when he looked closely. Su Yunheng couldn't help smiling when he thought of Daiyu sitting by the bed and carefully drawing his own face. wash off the powder

Although Su Yunheng lost a lot of blood, it was only a skin trauma, but after two days of treatment, he looked no different from ordinary people. Only then did news gradually spread that his condition had improved

The Mid-Autumn Festival has long passed, and the weather is getting colder. After burning the paper for a hundred days, Daiyu is ready to leave for Beijing. Song Chunsheng

On this day Song Chunsheng went to report to Daiyu. After Lin Ruhai's funeral cost, as well as the gifts and so on, Daiyu looked at it one by one. Troubled you again?"

Song Chunsheng wondered: "Mr. Jia is always finding fault recently. There is a accountant who has been scolded twice by him."

Daiyu understood that Jia Lian came with a mission. Whether it was Jia Mu or Mrs. Wang, he could take advantage of the opportunity of going south to take over the entire Lin family, but Daiyu was no longer the unworldly Daiyu in the original book. Naturally, the property will not be handed over. Although there are not many servants in the Lin family, almost all of them are family-born children. They are very happy to see Daiyu taking over the burden of the Lin family. After all, if the Jia family takes over, the servants of the Lin family facing the fate of being dismissed

Daiyu changed her mind a little, then smiled and said, "Song Butler must have a good idea, don't keep it secret, just tell it and listen." I knew that Song Chunsheng sent someone to follow Jia Lian to pay the bill, but it must be more than just asking him to pay the bill

Sure enough, Song Chunsheng smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "I have some bills here, which are all the expenses of Mr. Jia some time ago, and there are a total of 8000 taels."

Daiyu frowned and said: "He really can spend, no wonder he is so good at making money." Then he said to Song Chunsheng: "You can do whatever you want, don't come back to me."

After Song Chunsheng accepted, he hurriedly packed up the books and withdrew.

Song Chunsheng had Nanny Song pointing him out, and during this period of time, things were going well, and he got along well with Lin Zhi, the eldest son of Lin Steward, who was in charge of the fields in Suzhou. Hou was so angry that he wanted to take back the sacrificial land that he had given before, but was still blocked by Song Chunsheng

When Song Chunsheng returned to the outer courtyard, he happened to see Jia Lian sitting in the counting room. There were two counting gentlemen, one frowning coldly and the other frowning. You have to approve the money yourself, does the Lin family belong to my younger sister Lin, or yours?"

The eyes of the two accountants lit up when they saw Song Chunsheng coming in. Song Chunsheng smiled wryly at Jia Lian's taunt, went up to greet Jia Lian, and said, "How much does Mr. Jia want to pay?"

Jia Lian grinned and said, "I'm going to give Xiao Lixian a cup of tea for 5 taels first."

Xiao Lixian is the number one card in Chunselou, and she has been fighting with Jia Lian recently, but it is obvious that Jia Lian is making trouble for no reason if she wants to cheer for a prostitute.

One of the accountants opened the account book and said: "There is really no money in the account. The master spent almost all the money on the funeral. Mr. Jia also spent several thousand taels these days. Now Mr. Jia has to pay another 5 taels, but the account I was an official for less than 1 taels" and showed Song Chunsheng the account book

Jia Lian didn't believe it in his heart. He knew that the Lin family was rich, but when he came, he found that there were thousands of hectares of land in Suzhou alone, which was a hundred times that of Rongguo Mansion. The Lin family had always had a small population, so they couldn't spend so much. There must be a lot of leftovers. I grabbed the account book and looked it up. It recorded the expenses of Lin Ruhai's funeral, followed by the expenses of going to restaurants and halls by myself. I listed them one by one. The Lin family's own expenses were only one. Those who bought supplements with a pen also indicated that it was for Su Yunheng

Jia Lian didn't expect her expenses to be clearly recorded. She was a little embarrassed for a while, and secretly scolded Song Chunsheng for being unkind. After a while, she cleared her throat and said, "Then pay 6000 taels first." Take the money and walk away

Seeing him walking away, several people sighed at each other, Song Chunsheng said: "If he comes again, still show him this account book, and keep the note he wrote, maybe it will be useful in the future." Song Chunsheng planned to show the note To open Jia Lian's eyes, those notes are mostly from brothels drinking flowers and wine, and there are also various restaurants such as silk and satin shops, all of which are marked as Lin Jiaju who paid the bill. money quickly escaped

Lin's family was united as one, Jia Lian couldn't make a move, so he decided to get a little more by himself, and he had to blame Daiyu later, so he told Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang that it was Lin Daiyu who insisted on not handing in the seal of the patriarch, and he couldn't do anything about it.

Before returning to Beijing, she wanted to buy some local products to take back and distribute to everyone, so Daiyu wrote down the list carefully and asked Song Chunsheng to do it, from silk and satin to snacks and food, as well as various small toys, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, etc. One purchase is complete (to be continued, you are welcome to vote for the recommended monthly ticket,,

No.70 Back to the secret room at the bottom of the lake

No.70 Back to the secret room at the bottom of the lake

The weather was fine today, and I will be returning to Beijing in a few days. I don’t know if there is any chance to return to Suzhou in this life, so Daiyu wandered around in the backyard, Zijuan stayed in the yard to watch the little girl clean up, or Chi Xiaochengying and the two follow

Chi Xiao was still thinking about the small island in the lake that he had seen last time, so he asked Daiyu to go to the lake first. Sure enough, there was a small island in the lake, and there were a few big trees on the island, and there were a few houses under the shadow of the big trees.

Daiyu was also curious, and when she looked far and wide, but there were no bridges or boats, she asked a woman who had been looking at houses in an old house in Suzhou, and the woman pointed at the houses on the island and asked questions. Daiyu spoke a lot of words in Suzhou dialect, but Daiyu barely understood them.

It turned out that the house was the place where the grandpa of that generation lived for meditation in his later years. Originally, there was no bridge, and only small boats were used to pass through. Later, when the grandpa passed away, the younger generations built a long zigzag bridge to the island, just to get around to the island. the other side

The three people walked around and saw a long bridge built of white stones. It was probably covered by houses and trees on the island before, and the twists and turns are very beautiful.

At the entrance of the bridge there is a two-meter-high boulder with the word "Pinghu" written on it. Daiyu saw that there was no reason for jumping on the island. Yu walked to the front of the big house, and the plaque hanging on the lintel was written with the word "Qiuyue"

Daiyu raised her hand and touched the jade pendant hanging around her neck, her heart pounded and there was something strange in this room, why didn't Lin Ruhai say anything when she gave the jade pendant?

Opening the door, there are three large rooms without partitions. They are empty and clean, but it can still be seen that there is no human habitation for a long time, and there is no trace of popularity.

Looking around, Chi Xiaodao turned out to be like this." The disappointment was beyond words

Daiyu looked around carefully, but there was nothing like decorations, presumably they had been taken back to the library a long time ago, only simple Su-style furniture remained, all with ordinary lotus patterns, and there was nothing special about it. Daiyu suddenly found that the square bricks on the ground were very strange. Unlike other rooms, where the square bricks were closely combined to make the ground a whole, the square bricks in this room were clearly visible one by one.

The inscription on the back of the poem on the jade pendant is "May [-]th". At that time, I thought it was the date, but now it seems that it may be a hint

Daiyu had seen enough of Chi Xiao and Cheng Ying, so she took the two of them and left the island.

Su Yunheng moved back to Suzhou Linfu when he was almost in good health, and was planning to go back to Beijing with Daiyu. Cheng Mengxing couldn't wait, so he rode to the capital alone.

Tomorrow we will leave for Beijing, there is a rush in Daiyu's courtyard, all the supplies are packed and boxed, and those who are not in a hurry will be transported to the boat first

The advantage of having fewer servants is that it is not easy to be punished, because the super followers Chi Xiao and Cheng Ying
