Enter the red building

Xue Qiu stood in front of the stall where he bought jade gourds, thinking about the first meeting with his younger sister Lin Daiyu a few days ago, feeling extremely melancholy.The feeling of the first time is really indescribable, but Xue Qiu knows that this is really a feeling he has never had before, his heart seems to be floating in the air and wandering around with the wind.

The peddler remembered Xue Qiu, who bought a fake jade gourd for five liang of silver, and asked with a smile on his face, "What do you want to buy this time? Look at this new jade pendant, how about it?"

Xue Qiu waved his hand and said, "No need." Turning his head to look at the boat that was getting far away, his heart gradually calmed down.

Back in the Lin Mansion, Xue Qiu went to the room, where Ji Zhou had been waiting for a long time.

Xue Qiu went straight in and closed the door.Looking at Ji Zhou sitting on the side, he asked directly: "Who killed the adoptive father?"

Ji Zhou's expression changed, he thought about it, and said in a low voice: "You don't want to know about this matter, and don't ask any more."

Xue Qiu shook his head, "I know this must be something about the imperial court, I just want to know which side it is." Xue Qiu's persistent appearance gave Ji Zhou a headache, and Ji Zhou sighed for a long time. "It's from King Yizhong's side."

"For the position of inspecting Yan Yushi?" Xue Qiu asked.

Ji Zhou shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "It's not just for this reason, it's more for Lin Ruhai."

As soon as Xue Qiu heard this, he knew that the matter must be very complicated, so he couldn't help asking: "Does the foster father have anything against him?"

Ji Zhou said: "No, but the salt merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been controlled by Ruhai, which is very bad for King Yizhong. After all, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rich places, and there is no control over King Yizhong. It's not good to say."

Xue Qiu nodded, agreed with what Ji Zhou said, and asked, "Who will take over as Xunyan Yushi?"

Hearing Xue Qiu ask this question, Ji Zhou's face became very ugly, his expression was very depressed, "A person you know."

"Xuanyin?" Xue Qiu thought for a while and asked tentatively.

Ji Zhou nodded, "I don't know when he became a member of King Yizhong's side." The voice was quite angry, if Xuanyin hadn't secretly told the people of King Yizhong's side, nothing would happen to Ruhai at all.

Xue Qiu lowered his head, pondered for a while, looked up at Ji Zhou, and asked, "I want to know which side has the upper hand, the Holy One or King Yizhong?"

But Ji Zhou said: "It's hard to say, although the Holy Majesty is the legitimate successor, many people in the court supported King Yizhong at the beginning, but now it is the Holy Majesty who inherits the throne, so they are very afraid that the Holy Majesty will be liquidated one day. "

Xue Qiu nodded, indicating that he understood, "Does Your Majesty have any opinion on this matter?"

"The Holy Majesty is now sure to overthrow King Yizhong, otherwise King Yizhong wouldn't be so eager to control the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. I believe there will be an explanation for this matter soon." Ji Zhou said that Lin Ruhai was killed. He was very guilty. At the beginning, he had sworn to Xue Qiu that he would protect Lin Ruhai, but now he was powerless and watched Lin Ruhai die. Naturally, he also took this matter to heart, thinking that one day he would be able to avenge Lin Ruhai. .

Xue Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, understood a little bit, and said to Ji Zhou: "I have one more thing to ask you. I'm going to sell the shop of the Lin family, and now I'm rushing back to Jinling to take the provincial examination."

When Ji Zhou heard that it was a trivial matter, he didn't think too much about it, and agreed directly, believing that the matter would be resolved soon.After all, Jizhou has a certain status in Yangzhou.

After a few days, Ji Zhou finished the matter and told Xue Qiu that he would return to the capital soon.Xue Qiu knew that this was inevitable. Ji Zhou's main task was to protect his adoptive father. Now that his adoptive father is dead, it would be meaningless for Ji Zhou to stay here any longer.

Xue Qiu rushed back to Jinling by boat with Lin Ruhai's millions of property and some servants left behind by the Lin family.The Lin family only left Aunt Liu and a few maids, Xiaosi, to guard the old house. Xue Qiu left Aunt Liu with a Zhuangzi and 2 taels of silver.

##############################

Jia's mansion was in shock now. When Jia Lian had already given Jia Mu 8000 taels of silver, Lin Daiyu brought another 5 taels of silver to Jia Mu, and told Jia Mu in front of everyone as Xue Qiu taught.Who dares to say that all the expenses of Miss Lin belong to the Jia family, and they are entrusted to others.

Mother Jia's expression darkened when she heard this, and she asked strangely, "Yu'er, what are you doing? You still have to see your grandmother like this?" Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang sitting on both sides looked at the box of money, feeling very worried. It's awkward, especially Mrs. Wang, who thought that the money left by Lin Ruhai would go to Jia's family.

Lin Daiyu hurriedly said: "This is just Yu'er's wish, after all, she lives in someone else's house."

Jia Mu frowned, glanced at Mrs. Wang, and understood in her heart that it was probably Yu'er who had suffered some kind of grievance.But Yu'er probably wouldn't do this, so the person who asked Yu'er to do this must be the adopted son.

Lin Daiyu actually felt very uncomfortable. After all, this embarrassed her grandmother, but her brother emphasized again and again that she would not let her brother down.

Jia Mu smiled at Lin Daiyu and said, "Where is your money missing, I will keep it for you and keep it as a dowry."

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she blushed and lowered her head, feeling both embarrassed and sad, for some reason.

But Mrs. Wang asked: "Daiyu, do you know the origin of the adoptive son your father recognized? It's really inappropriate to hand over those family properties to him like this. Would you like your uncle to come forward and get yours back for you?" family property?"

Lin Daiyu had already heard from her elder brother that his father left two or three million taels of family property, which was coveted by many people.Last time on the Lin family's side, it was because of this money that his father vomited blood and died.I was very dissatisfied in my heart. The second aunt said this, after all, it was not because of the money.Lin Daiyu replied: "No need, Second Aunt. Of course my father trusts my elder brother when I entrust him to him, and I trust him too. Second Aunt may not know that this elder brother is actually Sister Bao's cousin."

Everyone was shocked when they heard it, but it's a pity that there are no members of the Xue family anymore, otherwise they might be more surprised than Mrs. Wang and the others.

Wang Xifeng, who was standing next to him, said with a smile, "You don't know yet, this adoptive son is Xue Qiu, the eldest son of the second room of the Xue family." Wang Xifeng was very unhappy when she first learned about this from Jia Lian. up.

Lin Daiyu said again: "My brother has already passed the hospital examination, and he will take the rural examination soon. I believe he will come to the capital soon."

When everyone heard this, they felt strange that the Xue family was not in business, how could they pass the imperial examination so well, but the eldest son of the Xue family's second householder and Xue Pan, the uncle of the Xue family who now lives in Jia's mansion, are really different.

But Jia's mother asked, "Did your father say why he wanted to recognize this adopted son?"

Lin Daiyu replied: "Because my elder brother saved my father's life. And——

Father admires brother very much. Lin Daiyu added quite complacently, "My brother is also good at martial arts." "There's a sense of showing off.
