[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Those who came out were Qian Ying and Xiao Chen.

Qian Ying, Xiao Chen and the others came out in a hurry. When they saw Lin Jian coming back, their eyes lit up and they rushed to meet him.

When someone came to him, Lin Jian turned over and let the doorman lead his horse away, but he glanced at a few people, looked down the porch, and asked them: "What are you going to do?"

"What happened?"

Qian Ying, Xiaochen and the others were really anxious at the beginning, but now seeing Lin Jian's unhurried appearance, as if they had a backbone, they relaxed, and explained the situation to Lin Jian.

Qian Ying wanted to go to Miyagi alone to find Lin Jian.Xiao Chen and the others were going to a certain bookstore in the capital to deal with matters.

When Lin Jian heard the name of the bookstore, he couldn't help frowning: "Isn't that a bookstore familiar to our family? What happened, how many of you need to go there?"

Qian Ying and Chen looked at each other, and Qian Yingcai replied: "Master, I just heard the news that there were people fighting in the bookstore, and some of them were beaten to death."

Lin Jian raised his eyebrows: "Street fights are under the supervision of the Wucheng Military Division according to the law. If the offender is from an official family, or the case is complicated and difficult to settle, it will be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. When will it be our turn to intervene? In the past, could it still be worthy of the government to come forward?"

Qian Ying pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment before saying: "Young master, this street fight is not related to our family's affairs, and the subordinates will not meddle in their own business. But this time the main cause of the fight between the two parties is the fight with Miss Lin. It's related. The two parties fought because of Miss Lin's rumors and killed people, so the subordinates want to ask the young master for advice."

Lin Jian was still calm and breezy just now, but when Qian Ying mentioned the word Miss Lin, he immediately frowned, stopped and asked Qian Ying in a deep voice, "What rumors about Miss Lin?"

Now that it's all over, no matter how hard it is to say it, Qian Ying has no choice but to explain it to Lin Jian.

He pursed his lips, and told Lin Jian in a low voice: "Today, someone from the bookstore came to ask for Lintai Collection, and the shopkeeper's place had long since run out of stock, so he told the customer the truth. The customer was polite, so he planned to ask elsewhere. See if anyone is willing to lend him the collection of Lintai collections for copying. There were some other people in the bookshop at the time, and someone heard the conversation between the guest and the shopkeeper, and they sneered at the side, saying that although Miss Lin is talented, she is not like everyone else. The legend is so good. When Miss Lin was living in the Rongguo Mansion, she didn't abide by the rules of men and women's defense, and she didn't strictly abide by her duties, so she didn't deserve the name of a talented woman at all."

Qian Ying said that the customer who wanted to ask for Lintai Collection claimed to like Lin Daiyu's poems very much, and Lin Ruhai's articles very much. He only wanted a collection of Lintai Collection produced by Yangzhou Bookstore, but he could not find it anywhere. I have searched many places, but today I found it to no avail.

The guest couldn't bear to meet someone who slandered Lin Daiyu so badly, the two of them argued in public, they started arguing, and fought after arguing. Killed.

"When a person dies in the bookstore, the shopkeeper's reaction is also fast. He quickly asked the shop assistant to detain him. Everyone present stayed to be a witness, and then the shopkeeper came to our house to report the letter. There was a lot of noise about this matter. Big, the government must have known about it by now. The few of us got the news, but didn't tell the master and wife, so we thought about telling the young master first, so that the young master can make up his mind."

As soon as Qian Ying heard this, she knew that Lin Daiyu couldn't let Lin Daiyu know about it. Lin Hongqiao's family had their own affairs to be busy with, and they were always watching these movements outside. Now that something happened, naturally she had to tell Lin Jian immediately. Yes, if they don't tell, the mansion won't know.

Several people discussed and decided, Qian Ying decided to go to Miyagi to find Lin Jian, while Xiao Chen took people there first to stabilize the incident and see how the government would deal with it.When Lin Jian made up his mind, it would be all right if the news was passed back to the mansion and Lin Hongqiao's family knew about it.

At the beginning Xue Pan was angry and in order to get revenge, he quietly spread Lin Daiyu's poems, just to destroy Lin Daiyu's reputation.Lin Jian thought of a way to build Lintai Ji for Lin Daiyu, and later/through Lin Daiyu's own management, Lintai Ji became famous, which also made Lin Daiyu and Lin Ruhai, father and daughter, famous figures in the capital.

It is not a secret that Lin Daiyu lived in the Rongguo Mansion in the past. Everyone who should know knows it. As for the things in the boudoir, no one will reveal it for no reason.Even the servants who served those people in Rongguo Mansion, even if they went to other places as slaves, they would not talk nonsense about the previous masters.

One is because of the rules, the other is because the members of the Jia family are still alive, and the third is because Lin Daiyu has the protection of the Lin family.

To be honest, the period when Lin Daiyu lived in Rongguo Mansion was actually not important at all. It is understandable that the sisters and brothers were more affectionate when they were young.What's more, she is an orphan, she doesn't go to the countryside and follow the rules of other people, so why should she set her own rules in her grandmother's house?

Lin Ruhai later served as an official in Yangzhou, and wrote several essays about his longing for Lin Daiyu and his remorse and guilt for his inability to take care of his daughter.

It is also because of these few articles that everyone has a bit of sympathy for Lin Daiyu's past. People who love her talent, how can they poke her heart and bring up the sad story of the separation of her father and daughter?

After the Lintai collection, no one spread gossip about Lin Daiyu, but Lin Jian did not take it lightly. There was Xue Pan's incident before, even if the situation was calm afterwards, Lin Jian still ordered people to watch secretly, and never let down his vigilance at all.

Hearing Qian Ying say this now, Lin Jian immediately said coldly: "Okay, why would someone suddenly mention this? How did outsiders know about the inside and outside of the Rongguo Mansion back then? And you want to talk about it in that bookstore? It's not groundless, there must be rumors behind it, I told you to keep an eye on it, these days, didn't you notice any strange things in advance?"

Qian Ying hurriedly said: "Master, my subordinates never dare to relax. Before today, no one in the capital has ever heard this. I can be sure that this is the first time I have heard someone say this today."

Qian Ying also had his own guess. He paused, and seeing Lin Jian was silent, he said again, "Young master, my subordinates feel that this is not accidental, it should be done on purpose. No one mentioned it before." Miss Lin's past, but now that this incident is happening, seeing and hearing so many people, and even killing someone, this case must be full of troubles, the murderer is clearly that person, but those words can't be restrained, sooner or later it will spread Miss Lin's reputation must be damaged."

Qian Ying didn't say anything, but he knew that Lin Jian would definitely understand.

Even if this case has nothing to do with Lin Daiyu, but this matter started because of the Lintai Collection, and those words involved Lin Daiyu, the people in the city must discuss it, and everyone discussed it one after another, and the rumors in the streets and lanes have always been serious. The story of the classics spread far and wide, and Qian Ying could almost foresee that the reputation that Lintaiji had built up with great difficulty would be destroyed by this case in an instant.

If someone really did it deliberately, then this person's mind is too vicious.

"Yes, you are quite right."

Lin Jian stared at Qian Ying for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and said, "I was still in prison a few days ago, so they naturally didn't have to do these things. Now that I'm out, the truth about my father is revealed, but they are greatly hurt Now that the family members of the Lin family are flourishing, they can't harm their father, and they can't do anything to their mother. It's not enough to vent their anger by framing others, so they naturally go to Miss Lin. They can't do anything to me, but they know that since ancient times, rumors are fiercer than tigers, and they destroy To ruin Miss Lin's reputation is to put a knife in my heart."

"You can't beat me, even if you fight for your life, you will still disgust me."

Qian Ying hurriedly asked who they were, and then asked Lin Jian if he had any doubts in his heart: "Master, do you want your subordinates to send someone to thoroughly investigate this matter?"

Lin Jian sneered: "Everyone is dead, how can you investigate? The one who speaks bad things has no proof, and the other one can beat people to death. Do you think he will tell their plan? Even if it's just a show, they This set of plays is quite complete. Since it is a complete play, it is impossible for you to find out any flaws. It would be a waste of time to check, and there is no need to check."

Lin Jian thought coldly, at this point, there are only a few people who have made evil and disgusting people. Now that they have done it, they can naturally wipe away the traces.If he really checked it out, if he was serious about it, he might have a second move, and it would be even more difficult to get out.

Lin Jian told Xiao Chen not to go: "You guys don't have to go to the bookstore. Send someone to tell the shopkeeper how the government wants to investigate. They just cooperate. The yamen has its own rules and procedures for investigating cases. You and the murderer are both here, you don’t need to intervene, let the people from Wucheng Bingmasi deal with it.”

Lin Jian made a decision, Qian Ying let Xiao Chen and the others go, and he asked Lin Jian in a low voice: "Master, if we ignore this matter, it will spread quickly. Where is Miss Lin?"

Lin Daiyu is currently preparing to marry in the mansion, and she seldom goes out. You can keep the news from her. But when the wedding day comes, at that time, Lin Daiyu will definitely know whenever she goes out to socialize and meet people. Such a thing, obviously It is impossible to hide it.

How could it be possible for Lin Jian to keep Lin Daiyu in the center of bad public opinion?

He said softly: "Come with me, I have some things to tell you, you can do it. As for Miss Lin, you don't have to worry about it, I have my own way."

Qian Ying followed Lin Jian back to Lin Jian's residence, and after Lin Jian explained this, Qian Ying left.

Only then did Lin Jian get up, and went directly to Lin Daiyu's courtyard without changing the clothes he wore to see Emperor Chengsheng.
