[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine
Chapter 16
Lin Daiyu was actually not as fragile as Lin Jian imagined.
She has never seen bloodshed or murder in the dark. She is also a little girl who was raised under the care of Jia Min and Lin Ruhai. He loves her dearly, but after all these years in Jia's mansion, she has been dependent on others, and such a life has long worn out her character.
She has inherited Lin Ruhai's proud disposition. Since she was a child, she has read and seen things clearly. There are twists and turns in her life, and she is inevitably displaced. How can it be less?
Her fortitude and tenacity have long been carved into her bones.
Although Lin Daiyu was so scared that she crumpled the manuscript in her hand, and soaked/wet the pages with cold sweat, she still maintained her composure on her face and did not show the slightest panic. Looking at Zijuan, he asked her in a low voice what she knew.
Zijuan had no choice but to tell Lin Daiyu all the ins and outs of when she went out to pour tea and was blocked by Lin Jian.
Lin Daiyu was lost in thought when she heard this.
When the Yangzhou magistrate arranged for them to live, she was sitting in a soft sedan not far away, and she heard their conversation.
The two-story building in the main hall where she lives now was arranged for Lin Jian by the prefect of Yangzhou. Lin Jian couldn't live there, so Jia Lian asked for it.
At that time, Lin Daiyu didn't think there was anything wrong, but now that something like this happened, Lin Daiyu always felt strange when she looked back.
Could it be that Lin Jian didn't stay here because he knew something would happen, but he used her and Jia Lian as scapegoats to lure snakes out of the hole or for other reasons, so he didn't remind them and let them live in this little girl who was destined to be attacked building?
In fact, Lin Daiyu was not willing to misunderstand Lin Jian like this.
She always felt that it was unlikely that a person with such bright eyes would have such deep scheming.
All the way from the middle of the capital, she always couldn't sleep well on the way, but one night, she was gradually attracted by the melodious music that came from nowhere, and she fell asleep peacefully with the music all night.
It was only later that Lin Daiyu found out that Lin Jian had blown the tune out of bamboo leaves on his official boat.He just sat on the side of the boat and played the tune in such a cool and unrestrained manner, Lin Daiyu was very envious of his carefree appearance of enjoying the scenery of the mountains and rivers.
Lin Daiyu thought, this young master of the Lin family probably had the leisure to play music with bamboo leaves because of his pleasure, but she also slept peacefully for several days after listening to his music.
She was very grateful for the music, so she really didn't want to misunderstand him as such a person with ulterior motives.
What's more, she remembered that when Jia Lian wanted to live in this small building, Lin Jian stopped him and said that he would give them another place to live, but Jia Lian didn't agree at that time.But for some reason, Lin Jian didn't continue to insist.Thinking about it now, there must be something hidden here.
Lin Daiyu wanted to ask Lin Jian face to face what was going on.
Lin Jian didn't answer Lin Daiyu's question right away, he was a little hesitant to tell her the truth.
But just as Lin Jian was hesitating, he heard Lin Daiyu speak again.
"I have lived in the Rongguo Mansion since I was seven years old. I have never had any enmity with anyone, and I have never encountered such a thing. These people are so vicious tonight. Master Hou said that they are trying to harm me. Is it because of my late father? Relationship?"
"Is it related to the case my late father handled in Yangzhou?"
Lin Jian pursed the corners of her lips, Lin Daiyu was really too smart.She didn't know anything, but picked out the two most crucial things from the clues and asked him.
Moreover, these two questions were asked very skillfully. The matter involved Lin Ruhai, and Lin Ruhai had passed away. He knew very well that those people had already involved Lin Daiyu. The danger is greater in the future.
He didn't want to tell Lin Daiyu because he was afraid that Lin Daiyu would not be able to bear it.But after much deliberation, he couldn't hide it for long.
Just when Lin Jian was hesitating rarely, Lin Daiyu suddenly put down the manuscript of the poem and turned out of the screen, standing in the shadow of the candle and looking at this side.
She did not dodge or evade, she stood a few steps away and stared at Lin Jian: "Please tell the truth to Master Hou. You don't have to worry about Master Hou, I am not afraid."
Lin Jian always thought that Lin Daiyu was a very good girl, her voice was very gentle, her unhurried voice was like the fresh spring breeze, and like the verdant willows on the banks of misty rain streams in the south of the Yangtze River.Such a gentle and quiet girl deserves to be held in the palm of the hand and loved.
But at this moment, Lin Jian saw the character of character from Lin Daiyu, who was amazingly beautiful standing in the candlelight.
This unshakable character is not a fearless bloody responsibility like him to rush to the battlefield, but a righteous spirit born between heaven and earth and standing in this turbulent life.
It never occurred to her that such a well-behaved girl would come out and face herself and the danger directly.
Of course, Lin Jian admired Lin Daiyu's character, so he pretended not to see Lin Daiyu's hands tightly clutching the corners of her clothes. Those hands were hidden in the sleeves of the gauze dress with a stand-up collar, but he could see half of her exposed knuckles. It turned bluish white because of the force.
Standing by the door is not the place to talk about such confidential and important matters. Lin Jian looked down at the door panel that was lying down in the room. He wiped off the blood on the door panel, and he casually took the blood-stained handkerchief Throwing it to the guards of the Lin family who were guarding outside, then stepped into the house, lifted the hem of his clothes and sat on the door panel.
——In fact, there are tables and chairs for meeting guests in the house, but Lin Daiyu is standing next to him, Lin Jian can't sit in front of other girls, he thinks, sitting on the door panel is actually not bad.
By the candlelight, Lin Jian had already seen Lin Daiyu sweating profusely on his forehead. He said softly with some pity, "Miss Lin, please sit down too. It's a long story. The girl is weak, and it will be uncomfortable if she keeps standing."
In fact, Lin Daiyu couldn't stand anymore, if she hadn't held on all at once, she might have collapsed to the ground.In fact, when Lin Jian sat down, Zijuan had already supported Lin Daiyu and asked her to sit down at the table.
Lin Daiyu was weak and weak, so she had no choice but to hand over a body to Zijuan. Fortunately, the table and chairs were in front of her. After she sat down, Zijuan gently wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, but she was holding it up. When I glanced at it, I saw a large wet spot on the hem of Lin Jian's dark clothes.
Is that blood?Lin Daiyu pursed her lips slightly, could it be that Lin Jian was injured?
But she saw that the man looked calm and composed, and it didn't look like he was injured at all.
"Miss Lin's guess is right. The intention of the raider tonight is indeed related to the case Lin Yushi is handling in Yangzhou."
Just when Lin Daiyu was in a trance, Lin Jian had already explained the inner reasons slowly.Lin Jian had some calculations in his heart, so he never concealed it, and explained all the details involved with Lin Daiyu clearly.
At the end, he also purposely added, "I have already asked the insider, Lin Yushi was not murdered by others, and indeed passed away due to illness. On this point, the girl can rest assured."
"Young girl's question is correct. These people are indeed going to target me, but they want to attack the girl more than they want to attack me. After all, that ledger is very important to them. Even if the girl can't stay tonight Here, they will also come to the door."
Speaking of this, Lin Jian smiled, "I promised my father to take care of the girl's safety. I knew this, but I was afraid that the girl would be afraid if she found out, so I decided to protect the girl secretly. It's a pity that I failed to do so. If you offend me, I hope the girl Haihan."
Only then did Lin Daiyu realize that Lin Jian had brought people to ambush here tonight, all for her sake.
Lin Daiyu was silent. She actually wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say for a while.
She has lived for 16 years, except for her parents, no one has ever put aside her own interests so selflessly in order to protect her safety.
She has seen too much quarreling and squabbling, and too much laughing and squabbling without sincerity. She originally thought that the Lin family's recognition of relatives and caring for them was just a joke, but it never occurred to her that the person she thought was the most inauthentic and unfamiliar Instead, he saved her life with great enthusiasm.
Lin Daiyu has a bright heart, she knows that the word "thank you" is too light to repay the kindness of life-saving, but she has no wealth, and she doesn't know how to repay the kindness of life-saving.
But she still said thank you, although the voice was very soft, but the enunciation was clear.
Lin Daiyu's hand that was tightly grasping the corner of her clothes had been released at some point, and the wrinkled and sweaty corners of her clothes could not be wiped off, but most of the fear and nervousness that had been entrenched in her heart since the sudden accident dissipated most of it unconsciously. Putting your hands upright between your legs, you can feel that your lower abdomen, which has been trembling from the beginning, has also stopped trembling.
She suddenly felt at ease.It was like the peace of mind when I heard the sound of bamboo leaves that night.
Lin Jian pursed his lips and looked at Lin Daiyu's eyes, and said with a smile, "Miss Lin, you're welcome."
Lin Daiyu lowered her eyes slightly and didn't look at Lin Jian. She was immersed in her own thoughts. She didn't speak for a while, and Lin Jian didn't urge her. She kept waiting patiently with a smile on her face. After waiting for a long time, he heard Lin Daiyu ask him softly. talk.
"Master Hou, Lian's second brother... is there anything wrong with him?"
"Master Hou, are your... people injured?"
Lin Jian smiled and said, "Second Young Master Lian was not injured, he just got a little irritated, but it doesn't matter, he should be fine for two days. My people are all fine, don't worry, girl."
After a pause, Lin Jian added, "Talk more to persuade the girl, please don't mention tonight's matter in front of Second Master Lian these two days, so as not to irritate him too much, it will ruin the big event."
Lin Jian laughed badly. This kind of smirk made the end of his eyes rise high, adding a bit of evil spirit to him. Lin Daiyu was ignorant and ignorant. She asked Lin Jian again and refused to say more, so she had no choice but to give up.
Frankly speaking, Jia Lian was really stimulated.
He fell asleep after tossing with his little servant, but woke up in the middle of the night and got angry again, and dragged his little servant around again.The man in black came just in time, just when Jia Lian was messing around.
Jia Lian was obsessed with diarrhea/huo and didn't realize it. The men in black saw that Lin Jian was a hard stubble, so two men in black took advantage of the time to go downstairs, trying to hold Jia Lian to blackmail Lin Jian to achieve his goal, but they broke through the door But Ruin frightened Jia Lian to a great extent, followed by the guards of the Lin family and killed someone in front of Jia Lian's eyes.
Lin Jian clicked his tongue when he heard the guards of the Lin family say it in a low voice. With this incident, Jia Lian might be in the shadow of it for a while, right?With such a lesson, let's see if this Second Master Lian dares to turn up his mind casually regardless of the occasion.
She has never seen bloodshed or murder in the dark. She is also a little girl who was raised under the care of Jia Min and Lin Ruhai. He loves her dearly, but after all these years in Jia's mansion, she has been dependent on others, and such a life has long worn out her character.
