Melting love and rhyme make up the red building

However, after Daiyu decided to go back to Suzhou that day, she sent Zijuan to find Yuanyang quietly. Now, you have to do your best to protect Miss Lin and stop being bullied."

Zijuan responded with tears: "Don't worry, even if you risk Zijuan's wealth and life, you will save the girl, but you are now a girl's person. If the old lady has something good or bad in the future, even if it is not a There are people in this mansion, but there is no one in this capital that you can rely on, how about my sister going south with us? Besides, the old lady does not lack you to serve alone."

Yuanyang smiled slightly: "The old lady treats me with great kindness, just like Miss Lin treats you. In my heart, she is not only a master and servant but a relative! I don't go anywhere when the old lady is in a day."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Zijuan said again: "That's all! When I came here, the girl asked me to remind you that after the second master left Beijing to take up his post, you should be more careful with the elder master, and you need to plan ahead for some things. "

Yuanyang sneered and said: "No matter how anxious he is, he will wait until the old lady returns, right? Besides, he will come over and force me, and he will still die!"

"Ouch! My ancestor, how can you speak the same words as Miss Lin, what's the point of death? So, you can take care of yourself. I'm going back, and the girl is still waiting for me. Let’s talk back.” Zicuckoo said and wanted to leave.

Only now did Yuanyang's eyes turn red and said: "Is everything ready? But I can't go see you off."

Zijuan hurriedly said: "It's all ready, fortunately there is a brother following, otherwise we girls really don't know what to do!"

It turned out that Zijuan went to his brother a long time ago and explained that Miss Lin was going back to the south, but Zijuan's brother was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Sister, are you stupid? Miss Lin is a master, she has It doesn't matter what mistakes we make, but we are servants of this mansion and we are the sons of the family, and we will be accused of fleeing privately, if we are caught and beaten to death, we are not the ghosts of death?"

Zijuan said: "My deed of sale is now in the hands of the girl, so it's all right. However, if brother finds it difficult, that's all. You can help find a carriage and send us out of the city gate, so that brother won't have to accompany me again." Go to death, a girl can't bear it in the end."

Hearing what Zijuan said, Zijuan's elder brother lost his mind and asked, "Miss Lin lives well here, why do you want to go back to the south? Don't let people know?"

Zijuan said: "I can't tell my brother clearly for a while, and I will explain it to my brother later when I have a chance. In short, the girl can't live here any longer. The reason for this is her own difficulties. We slaves don't care about it." I'm so inquiring, my sister begged my brother to find a car quickly, if there is a delay, it will be a big trouble."

Zijuan's elder brother pondered for a while, then patted his thigh hard and said: "Forget it, now that my parents are gone, I only have you as my relative. If you have any good or bad, I can't live on."

Zijuan said happily after hearing this: "Brother agrees to help us?"

Brother Zijuan pretended to be angry and said: "I can't just look at my sister in trouble, can I? Not only will I help you, but I will help you to the end. I will risk my life, so I will go south with you."

Seeing that her brother agreed to go with her, Zijuan was very moved, and the tears dripped down, so she said with a crying voice: "I knew that my brother loved me, and now the girl is on the way back to the south. If there is one more person, it will be companionship."

Brother Zijuan came over and took Zijuan's hand, and said with a choked voice, "You and I are dependent on each other now, who will help you if my brother doesn't help you? I just thought about it, we brothers and sisters will always be together in life and death."

"Brother!" Zijuan threw her head on her brother's shoulder and cried non-stop.

"Okay, okay! You can go back and listen to my letter. It's just that I can't get inside the second gate. How will I notify you when everything is done?" the elder brother asked again.

"Brother is confused? I'll come out to see you now." Zijuan said.

It turned out that there was a small gate at the southwest corner of the Grand View Garden, which used to lead directly to the street. On weekdays, two women took turns guarding it.Daiyu took out 50 taels of silver and asked Zijuan to take care of the two women guarding the west gate of the garden, saying that it would be more convenient to go shopping on the street.

The monthly money of the two women is only five hundred Wen, and it is only a few taels of silver for a year. I have never seen so much silver, so I accepted it with a smile on my face.

That Zijuan's elder brother is now doing procurement in the mansion, following the steward as a follower, it is very easy to get in and out of the mansion.Because Jia Mu had taken special care of him, and the housekeeper made it easier for him to go out and do business, he let him live in a place on the southwest side of the mansion gate, which was also very close to the side gate. The azalea came out from the gate at the southwest corner of the garden. , And came south to look for my brother.

Zicuckoo told her elder brother to do it quickly, but she was afraid that it would take a long time to make people suspicious, so she hurried back to the garden from the same way and didn't mention it.

Daiyu's body has recovered a lot, but she was frightened when she first heard the news that she was going to be betrothed to Prince Ning as a concubine.

In order not to attract attention and cause any unnecessary troubles, Daiyu went out of her way to see no one for a few days, and would not see anyone who came. The sisters in the garden knew her temperament, and they only thought that she was sick and impatient. When I saw someone, I thought about visiting her again in two days, but I didn't pay much attention.

Because the gate of the city was about to be closed when it got dark, and Daiyu couldn't go out of the garden during the daytime, Brother Zijuan asked Zijuan to bring a message, saying that he had first searched for her near the gate of the city. I stayed in a hotel for one night, and left the city at dawn.

Another appointment was made for another day. Brother Zijuan was waiting outside the garden gate and went to the inn first.

This night, Zijuan asked for some good wine from his elder brother, and gave it to the gatekeeper woman. Where did the woman drink such good wine, because she didn't dare to drink too much last night, but unexpectedly Passed out.

In this way, Daiyu's party, master and servant, went out of the garden without knowing it, and took a carriage to the "Jingyue Inn" in the south of the city to stay.

At dawn the next day, Daiyu, Zijuan and Xueyan all washed up, and sat in the room waiting for Zijuan's brother to come and prepare to leave the city.Unexpectedly, he was startled by a sudden knock on the door!

"Who is it?" Zicuckoo asked in a low voice.

"It's me, sister, quickly open the door." It was Zijuan's brother's anxious voice.

Zijuan didn't care about the girl inside, so she hurriedly opened the door, and Daiyu turned around and looked inside.

Brother Zijuan was stunned again and didn't dare to come in. He pulled Zijuan out and said, "Just now I was going to go outside to set up a car, but I was told by the store that I can't leave the city now. I don't know why the city gate hasn't been opened yet. Woolen cloth!"

Zijuan anxiously said: "What is this for? Brother, hurry up and find out!"

Brother Zijuan hurriedly said: "Little sister, listen to me, I went to the gate of the city immediately, but the guard at the gate said that an important prisoner had lost last night, and the officers and soldiers were searching around! The city gate cannot be opened, and it is hard to say when it will open, sister, what do you think about this?"

Zijuan said: "Then wait a little longer, what can you and I do?"

Brother Zijuan said: "You don't know, if you stay here for a while, the girl will be in trouble. If people in the house know that the girl is not in the garden, then...then..."

Daiyu who was at the side saw the two brothers and sisters anxious, so she said, "You two don't need to worry, if someone in the house finds it, I will take care of it. I just talk about my ideas and have nothing to do with you."

"Ouch! Miss, what did you say? Now that we've come out, we don't plan to go back. Don't worry, Miss. I'll figure out a way." After finishing speaking, Brother Zijuan hurriedly bowed and ran out.

Zijuan also came to help Daiyu and said, "Miss, don't worry, let the servant brother think about it, everything will be fine."

After a while, Brother Zijuan came again and said, "I heard that the officers and soldiers will search all the inns in the capital first! Let's go to the carriage and make plans."

Zijuan said: "Why is brother so confused? He is looking for him, and we are not prisoners?"

Before Brother Zijuan could answer, Daiyu said softly: "If the officers and soldiers come to search, you must first check the name on the book. Even if we report a false name, you and I will definitely attract suspicion if you are a girl. If something happens, it’s not right. Also, if the people in the mansion know that I’m missing, they’ll have to go to the inn first to look for it. Let’s listen to your brother and wait in the carriage. It's business to get out quickly."

Seeing Daiyu's words, Zijuan quickly responded, took the veil and covered Daiyu's face again, and then helped Daiyu out with Xueyan and followed her brother to the carriage without mentioning it.

Unexpectedly, the city gates were only opened in the afternoon, making it impossible for those outside the city to come in and those inside the city to go out. For a while, many people gathered at the gates of the four cities, yelling and yelling. non-stop.

Daiyu and the others came out of the inn, fearing that people from Jia's mansion would see them, so they took a carriage and wandered around not far from the city gate.

Knowing that the city gate would not be open for a while, Brother Zijuan simply drove the car towards the Qianmen Street area in the south of the city, thinking that there would be so many people there that it would not be easy to be found.

As we walked, Daiyu in the car was still weak and had not had a good rest last night, so she leaned on Xueyan and fell asleep again.

Zijuan and Xueyan at the side seldom go out of the mansion, seeing such a lively place as Qianmen Street, they couldn't help but lift the curtain and look out.

"Mutton alley? Sister Zijuan, look!" Xueyan shouted in a low voice.

"This name is so familiar!" Zijuan said.

"I remembered, it's the place where Mr. Xiao lives, Xueyan, do you remember?" Zijuan called out in a low voice.

"Yes! I remembered, he is Aunt Xiao's nephew." Xue Yan hurriedly replied.

Daiyu also woke up, and when Zijuan called out "mutton alley", she remembered something, which was the letter from Mr. Xiao.

Zijuan also thought about it, so she said to Daiyu: "Girl, we can't go out of the city for a while. Instead of wandering around in the street, why not go to Xiao's residence for a while?"

Daiyu pondered for a while, then shook her head and said, "What should we say if we go like this? It's fine, maybe the city gate will open after a while."

Then Zijuan raised the curtain and said to her brother, "Brother, go to the city gate again to see if it's open?" Brother Zijuan nodded and drove the carriage towards the city gate again.

There were only a hundred steps away from the city gate, so Brother Zijuan pulled over and stopped the car, then turned around and headed south.

Zijuan hurriedly poked her head out and asked, "What's the matter, brother, why did you drive the car back?"

Brother Zijuan hurriedly lowered his head and whispered: "Put down the curtain quickly, it's terrible! I just saw two servants from the house standing there at the gate of the city, as if looking for someone, and wanted to come and run away. It was discovered, and decent people were sent to look for it!"

After hearing this, Zijuan quickly put down the curtain and said to Daiyu, "Miss, someone from the house is looking for it, what should I do?"

Daiyu said: "If we want to come to the inn, we can't go back. It's too close to the city gate."

Xueyan at the side said: "Why don't we go and hide in Mr. Xiao's mansion, they won't think of this place for a while."

Daiyu was still pondering there, Zijuan said anxiously: "Girl, I don't care so much now, let's hide for a while first." Daiyu nodded.

When they came to the gate of Xiao's mansion, brother Zijuan stepped forward and called the door, and after a while a servant opened the door and asked, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

Brother Zijuan hurriedly said: "My master is looking for you Mr. Xiao."

The young man said: "Our young master has gone back to the south, what's your master's surname? But this person from Beijing?"

Brother Zijuan replied: "My surname is Lin. I'm also close to Mr. Xiao!"

"So it's from the Lin family? Is your master a girl?" The servant hurriedly opened the door, and said with a smile, "Come in quickly, if you have anything to say, let's talk in the room."

Brother Zijuan glanced at the back of the car, wondering: "Do you have a ready-made sedan chair in your house? It's not convenient for my girl to meet people."

The little servant hurriedly said: "Yes, I will find someone to carry it." Then, he ran into the gate of the house.After a while, he carried a soft sedan back and forth with another young servant.

Brother Zicuckoo thought to himself: Look at this Xiao's mansion is not big, but it has all the things.Then he smiled and said, "Thank you two little brothers."

Daiyu got out of the carriage and got into the soft sedan chair. She was carried into Xiao's mansion by two young servants, and then let into the upper room to rest. The young servants in Xiao's mansion knew the rules very well. Bing Xueyan, who just stood outside the house and answered.

Daiyu asked, "After Mr. Xiao left, are you two the only ones left?"

The boy first replied: "The young master went back and waited to fill the vacancy. He only said that we would look at the house here. Maybe we will come back in a few days. Who knows that a letter from a few days ago said that he was accused of going to Yangzhou for a job, so the young master ordered us to take a job in Yangzhou." The two of us also went back, and said that if someone surnamed Lin came to send a message back to the south, the slaves would take it back by the way! But after waiting for these days, no one surnamed Lin came over. I’ll be back in the next day, you might as well come here, miss.”

Daiyu was silent when she heard this, Mr. Xiao is really caring, but how did he know that I would send a message to the south?Yeah!On that day, he wrote in his letter that if I have something to do, I can come to Xiao's house and find someone to send a message to Aunt Xiao to the south. It's just that we only met a few times. Could it be that he also saw that I was there? Living in Jia's mansion is not going well?

After concentrating on it for a while, the boy outside saw that there was no sound inside. He didn't know what Miss Lin was thinking, and it was inconvenient to ask any more questions, so he also stood at the door without saying a word.

Or Zicuckoo hurriedly said with a smile: "Girl, I've been tired for half a day, let's drink some water to moisten your throat!" He said and handed over a cup of hot tea.

Daiyu responded as if suddenly awakened, took the tea, and said to the outside: "You go down and rest first, I will ask someone to invite you later if I have something to do." The two young men responded, and went on Call Zicuckoo's brother to drink water below.

After a short rest, Daiyu sent Zijuan to find her brother and asked if the city gate was open?Can you go.

Zijuan's brother replied: "Girl, I think we won't be able to leave for a while. Even if the city gate is opened now, Jia's mansion must have sent people out of the city to look for it. According to the slave, it is better to live here." For two or three days, wait for the limelight to pass before heading south in a down-to-earth manner."

Daiyu thought about it for a while, then agreed, and invited two young servants to explain. Because Xiao Ruofei had instructed them before, the two servants agreed with their mouths, and Daiyu's master and servants stayed temporarily. The Xiao Mansion is waiting for the opportunity.

Besides, Jia's mansion was in chaos, and Jia Zheng was like an ant on a hot pot. He hurriedly sent a dozen family members to search for it, and ordered two young men to go south to chase after him. He thought that if his niece ran away, , I will definitely choose to go back to my hometown in Suzhou.At night, a family member came back and said that they had searched almost all the inns in the capital, but they did not find Miss Lin.

Jia Zheng was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at his eyes: "A bunch of trash! Go out and look for me, overnight!" After finishing speaking, he slid down on the chair, scaring Mrs. Wang who was next to her to help her stand up.

Sister Feng saw that Jia Zheng was in a hurry, so she couldn't help complaining inwardly: Do you know that you are in a hurry now?It's not that you have always been indecisive, soft-hearted, and listened to your wife in everything, otherwise you would not have such a thing today!

Unexpectedly, after another two days, the boy from the south also came back, saying that Miss Lin was nowhere to be seen on the road, and not even Zijuan's brother was found, and reminded Jia Zheng to go south by water. Yes, maybe it’s not necessary for them to go by water?That would be hard to find!

Jia Zheng was heartbroken when he heard this, and he didn't know why Daiyu left suddenly, so he asked Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng to find out, but they both shook their heads. It’s not mean, I just leave without letting anyone know, it seems like I’ve done something wrong.” Jia Zheng scolded him for a while.

Only the girls Caiyun and Yuchuan'er felt that Daiyu's departure might have something to do with her marriage, but they didn't dare to say anything, for fear of causing trouble to their upper body.

Jia Zheng also ordered all the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who were in charge of the garden to be called in for interrogation. No one knew about it. Let Miss Lin go.
