The Lady of the Red Chamber

Lin Ruhai suddenly opened his eyes and sat up on the bed, threw off the brocade quilt, jumped out of bed, and wanted to run to the courtyard where Daiyu once lived.

But as soon as his feet set foot on the cold ground, they jerked violently.

An infusing coldness rushed straight from the soles of the feet to the forehead, and Lin Ruhai was shocked by the piercing chill before realizing that Yu'er had already been sent to her grandfather's house far away in the capital.

Exhaling a long breath, Lin Ruhai sat on the couch weakly, leaning on the carved bed rail with his left hand, wiped the cold sweat from his head with his right hand, and then covered his chest.

The dream just now was so real.

Until now, Lin Ruhai is like Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly, wandering in the garden and startling his dreams.

She clearly knows that her daughter is living a good life at her grandmother's house, and is loved by the old lady; but secretly, she thinks that her daughter has died in a foreign land, and her soul has returned to her hometown.

Putting on a robe, Lin Ruhai came to the window, through the round window lattice, watching the moonlight pouring over the courtyard, he missed his daughter and wife more and more.

Is Yu'er doing well in the capital?Obviously, the mother-in-law loves Yu'er very much, but why does the mother-in-law even look at Yu'er in the future before Yu'er passes away?

The servant Yunhao ran over in a hurry, saw the master standing by the window, stopped for a moment, then trotted respectfully to Lin Ruhai's side, and presented the letter that had just been delivered with both hands: "Master, there is a letter from the capital."

Lin Ruhai opened his eyes, snatched the envelope from Yunhao's hand, hurriedly tore open the kraft paper wrapped outside, and opened the letterhead to read every word.

After a long time, Lin Ruhai lowered his arms in a slump, one hand resting on the window lattice to support his hunched figure, and the other tightly clutching the snow-white letter paper, the expression on his face was like crying, not crying, half smiling.

Yunhao lowered her head and said nothing.Until there was an extremely calm voice above my head: "Mo Mo, I'm going to write a letter to the residence of the Marquis of Zhen Guo."

Only then respectfully said: "Yes."

Before leaving, he quietly raised his head to take a look at the master, only to find that the master seemed to be different from before.

If it is said that there was nothing to love in the past, and everything was empty; but now there is a strange brilliance in the eyes, as if some hope has been ignited.

Yunhao shook her head, and went to the study: How can servants like them care about the master's affairs?

Yun Zhengran looked at the letter from his brother-in-law in his hand, his brows slightly raised, and the corners of his eyes were full of joy.

Yun Qingchi sat aside, looking at his father, with a slight smile on the corner of his warm lips: "Father, but uncle promised you?"

Yun Zhengran put the letter paper on the candlelight, and let the flames lick the snow-white corner until the envelope was burned to ashes, then he raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, this time it's thanks to you, Chi'er. My son is really outstanding, as expected He was praised by the empress, the most outstanding unicorn in this generation of our Yun family."

Yun Qingchi tapped the armrest of the wooden chair lightly with his long and slender fingers, shook his head, and smiled lightly: "My uncle has been in charge of the salt administration in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, and I am used to seeing ghosts and monsters. Only two letters can make uncle suspicious, but cannot Let him be shaken. The nuns in our house are the key to uncle's determination. How dare the son take credit for it?"

This nanny used to be an old servant of Jia's mansion, but because of her good looks when she was young, she got in the eyes of Mrs. Wang, who was the second wife of the government, so she was driven out of the illustrious Rongguo mansion by a wrong place.

Although he has been away for many years, but the relationship and face are still there, Lin Ruhai always believed what she said to the nanny.

Not to mention, Yun Zhengran specially asked Lin Ruhai to send his confidants to the capital to inquire.

Now that a major event has been settled, Yun Zhengran looked at Yun Qingchi with a relaxed mind, "Chi'er, you can go to the Sixth Prince's Mansion on behalf of your father and tell His Highness the good news."

Yun Qingchi stood up and clasped his hands together: "Yes, father."

After a pause, he said again: "Father, from this point of view, my uncle will be transferred back to Beijing soon, and our family still needs to move around more. This is secondary. Now, cousin Lin is the top priority."

Yun Zhengran nodded, looked at Yun Qingchi, and unconsciously stroked the smooth armrest: "I know that. I will talk to your mother about this matter, and the Rongguo Mansion will also go to beat it, and it won't happen." Let them continue to wrong Yu'er."

The sixth prince sat behind the desk, folded his hands in front of his stomach, leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Yun Qingchi, with some incomprehension in his eyes: "Xiao Shiyi came to the door in person, respecting the virtuous corporal, Lin Ruhai was vague. Zhen family gold and silver jewelry I don’t know how many ancient books, calligraphy and paintings have been carried, Lin Ruhai is also dismissive. Even the second aunt came to persuade him that he would rather risk the risk of severing his relationship than reply to the second aunt. But Qingchi, now for his daughter , are you willing to take refuge under the command of this hall?"

Yun Qingchi straightened his back, looked at the sixth prince, and said with a soft smile: "Your Highness, it's actually not difficult to understand. Uncle's knees are empty, and his only daughter has been sent to his grandfather's house. It can be said that there is nothing to worry about. But now Cousin Lin was humiliated in the Rongguo Mansion, even if it was for my cousin, my uncle would be willing to work hard to give her a bright future."

The sixth prince has been in a high position all year round, so he can't put himself in the shoes of Lin Ruhai to imagine Lin Ruhai's determination, but for him, as long as the courtiers are loyal, there is no need to ask too much about the reason.

Smiling and squinting at Yun Qingchi, the sixth prince knocked on the table in a good mood: "Qingchi, you have made great achievements this time, so feel free to ask for any rewards you want, and this hall will not hesitate."

Yun Qingchi looked at the sixth prince, and pointed to the blue-glazed teacup in his hand: "Your Highness, you know that I have never been interested in those vulgar things. But this tea is not bad. I taste it full of fragrance, and the aftertaste is endless. Why don't you give it to me?" Give me ten catties, so that I can enjoy my appetite every day. I am very grateful."

The sixth prince pointed at Yun Qingchi, "tsk tsk" and shook his head: "You, you really know how to choose. This red cloud tea was brought back by the Chen family from overseas, and this hall is still entrusted with the blessing of Yimu Concubine, so I get more tea." A little bit. But just like that, the house is only [-] catties in total, you are lucky, you actually asked for half of it."

However, the sixth prince didn't feel much distressed, and instead called his personal servant: "Li Fu, take this red cloud tea bag to Qingchi for ten catties. But be careful, if there is a shortage of catties or two, pass it on to the concubine mother." In my ears, I can't help but blame this hall for treating my cousin harshly."

Li Fu's heart trembled, knowing that His Highness was beating him, he respectfully said: "Yes, this servant obeys."

When stepping back, Li Fu couldn't help but looked up at Yun Qingchi, and found that the eldest young master was still sitting on a chair, drinking tea leisurely, without even raising his eyelids, his heart trembled.

A few days ago, some people below took advantage of the fact that the master in the backyard was born in the Duke's mansion and was quite favored, so they couldn't help but intrigue and intentionally be mean to the second son, who had a humble birth mother.

But this Hongyun tea is the master's favorite tea.

His Highness's move is simply to make an example to others.

It's just that Young Master Yun, does he know about this?
