[Red Mansion] The Wife of Powerful Officials

Xueyan smiled hurriedly, stepped forward to take the box, handed it to Daiyu's hand, and said, "Girl, have a taste?"

There are many people in the courtyard.

Followed by the servant girl and a few little Taoist boys.

They were all quietly looking at Daiyu.

A little boy fetched a basin of water.

Daiyu cleaned her hands, stared at her eyes, and generously picked up a round jujube and put it in her mouth.

Sweet and crunchy.

And that sweetness seemed to go straight to the bottom of my heart.

"It's delicious." Daiyu whispered.

Only then did He Shen show a little smile.

At this time, Taoist Master Xuan stepped forward and asked Daiyu with a smile: "Can a good woman ask for a Taoist talisman?"

Daiyu was surprised, and her eyes fell on him: "Is there anything unusual about this talisman?"

"Calamity must not come close, and I think it will happen."

"Where is there such a thing in the world? You Taoist priest can bluff people." Lingyue interjected mockingly.

Taoist Master Xuan is now a figure in Beijing, how could he be in chaos because of Lingyue's ridicule.

He said indifferently: "It is also divided into people. Some people ask for the talisman that can protect wealth and honor. Some people ask for the talisman that exorcises evil spirits. Some people ask for everything, but some get nothing."

It seemed to be satirizing Lingyue.

Lingyue blushed, but she kept her mouth shut when her eyes touched He Shen who was at the side.

She has love in her heart.

But there is also fear.

This man has a ruthless side, and Lingyue doesn't want to make fun of herself in front of so many people.

Daiyu laughed and said, "Your talisman is interesting. Where can you ask for it? Do you want to go ahead and worship Sanqing?"

Master Xuan nodded: "Let's follow the poor Taoist."

Xichun also followed.

He Shen stayed in the courtyard for a while before turning around and leaving.

As soon as he left, the courtyard was bustling again.

It's just that when Lingyue talked to Mrs. Wang again, she felt depressed for a while.

Daiyu stepped through the door.

The statue of Sanqing is enshrined in the main hall.

Daiyu does not believe in Buddhism, but she is in awe.She bent down to worship, at this time Taoist Master Xuan reached out and took out a tube of bamboo knots from under the Sanqing seat, turned around and handed it to Daiyu.

"Is this the talisman?" Daiyu asked.

"Exactly." Taoist Xuan nodded slightly, but his eyes did not look at Daiyu, but at the person standing outside the door.

He Shen stood there.

Maybe it's because he entered the Taoist temple, he looked more like a fairy from outside the world.

Taoist Master Xuan looked at He Shen, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and then smiled and said to Daiyu: "Woman, please remember, don't open it easily, otherwise it will lose its effect."

Daiyu smiled and turned the bamboo joint over and over in her palm: "Is there such a thing as exquisite?"

Master Xuan nodded.

"Then I will follow what the Taoist priest said." After finishing speaking, Daiyu put the bamboo joint into her sachet.

The center of the bamboo joint is hollowed out, and talisman paper is stuffed inside.The compact shape makes it easy to carry around.

Taoist Xuan's eyes turned around on the bamboo joint, and then he looked at He Shen outside the door: "Does He Shen also want a talisman?"

Only then did Daiyu realize that He Shen had also followed.

She turned to look.

Seeing He Shen's lips move slightly: "Please."

After finishing speaking, He Shen walked in, stood beside Daiyu, and also bowed to Sanqing.

Xichun hid beside Daiyu, carefully looking at Heshen.

Probably because of some fear, Xichun looks smaller now.

Master Xuan waited until He Shen finished worshiping, then he also took out a bamboo joint and handed it to He Shen.

He Shen put it in the sachet casually, not looking curious at all.

Daiyu's eyes followed his movements, and suddenly froze.

That sachet looks so...why does it look familiar?

Daiyu's thoughts moved.

Only then did I remember, yes!Isn't this the sachet she gave out when exchanging tokens?

The needlework is still a little rough.

The pattern on the top is really simple.

And it doesn't look like it was worn by a man, but at first glance, it looks like it was worn by a woman.

Daiyu's eyes widened slightly at first, and then she couldn't help but blushed even more.

If I had known that he was actually wearing it like this, I should have made a better one.

At this moment, Taoist Master Xuan looked at Xichun and asked, "Does the good woman also want a talisman?"

Xichun shook her head, but she didn't know what to think of, she pursed her lower lip and said, "Can I ask too?"

Master Xuan nodded.

Only then did Xichun also worship Sanqing and got a bamboo knot.

She was not that careful, and just handed it to the girl Ruhua and put it away.

Master Xuan didn't speak anymore, he bowed to He Shen, and then left the hall.

Today the hall is a little deserted.

As soon as he left, he immediately fell silent.

Xichun turned her head to take a look, and there was green smoke billowing from the hall.

The exception is the sister Lin Tong with the servant.

Xichun bit her lower lip, but still didn't go out the door.She was afraid, she was afraid to step out of the door, in case someone spoke ill of sister Lin behind her back one day.If she was there, it would naturally make others have nothing to say.

When Xichun was hesitating and struggling, she heard the other end and the servant speak.

He was talking to sister Lin.

"Does Lingyue still bully you?"

"How can she bully me?"

He Shen said indifferently: "You don't have to look down on the face of the Lin'anbo Mansion. If she acts arrogantly, you can just ask Mother Li to teach her a lesson. When she marries into the Rongguo Mansion, the Lin'anbo Mansion will also come to an end. If you don’t have a family to rely on, you won’t be able to make any splashes.”

Daiyu covered her lips and smiled: "But she likes you..."

He Shen shook his head: "What she sees is nothing but power and status, and compliments from others. Not to mention..."

"what?"

"In my eyes, she is nothing more than dust at my feet and ants in a bush."

Daiyu was a little curious: "Then..."

what about me.

Before Daiyu could say it, He Shen said again: "You are a star in the sky, a flower in the water."

Daiyu laughed out loud, the bit of grievance left by Lingyue earlier has disappeared completely.

When the smile subsided slightly, Daiyu thought of another thing.

"Can you talk to me about these things?" She was referring to the matter of Lin'an Bo Mansion.

"What's the matter?" He Shen shook his head, "It's not a big deal. Lin'anbo should be panic these few days. If Mrs. Lin'anbo is smarter, she should know and marry Lingyue into Rongyue sooner." I am afraid that Mrs. Wang will not want her as a daughter."

Daiyu was secretly startled.

On the one hand, he couldn't help sighing that He Shen's status in Beijing was as powerful as others had said.

Even these things, he knew very clearly, and he didn't take it as a big deal at all.

The destruction of a Bo's mansion, said from his mouth, is so calm.

Xichun on the other end also opened her eyes wide.

My heart is like a gust of wind.

Being so powerful with the servant, if he treats Sister Lin badly in the future, won't he suffer even more?

She can't tolerate Xichun thinking like this, only the people she frequents around are all wolf-hearted people... Naturally, she will be the first to think of people in a bad way.

Not to mention Xichun, the maid beside her also shrank her shoulders in fright, thinking to herself, no wonder others said that she and the servant are not easy to mess with.

What a gentleman's demeanor is but an appearance.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door again.

"Is brother here?" A clear and youthful voice sounded outside the door.

After finishing speaking, a young man who was also dressed in a white robe and only looked at the rich and noble, stepped into the door.

He was also carrying a folding fan upside down in his hand.

The posture of the noble prince and noble son.

But this person is quite different from Baoyu.

There was no trace of rouge on his body, but there was a slight clarity between his brows and eyes.

Xichun was even more at a loss as to what to do, her face turned pale, and then made her look even more indifferent, only then did she feel at ease.

"Brother!" the boy called out again.

It was He Lin who came. He first walked in quickly, and then saw a slender girl standing in front of He Shen. He Lin was startled, and hurriedly paused, lowered his head, bowed, and raised his hand : "Meet Miss Lin."

The gesture is not disrespectful.

When He Shen saw this, the unhappiness of being disturbed faded from his face.

He stretched out his hand to straighten Helin, and said, "This is my younger brother, Helin."

Daiyu is not a timid character, she poked her head out slightly, looked at He Lin carefully, then smiled and said: "I can't see what she looked like when she was young..."

He Lin raised her head and smiled: "We haven't seen each other for several years, so naturally the changes are bigger."

Now that Daiyu saw He Lin, she immediately brought back the memories of Gusu. Seeing him smiling and sincere, she felt much closer.

Thinking about it again, if he really entered the Shilang's Mansion in the future, it would be much easier and happier than living in Rongguo Mansion.

Xichun on the other end was a little nervous, she asked in a low voice: "Sister Lin, is it too long for us to come out?"

Daiyu looked back at her, and saw that her face was a little pale.

She knew that Xichun was careful and she was most afraid that something bad would happen, so she said, "Let's go."

He Lin showed regret, and said: "I didn't speak a few words with Miss Lin..."

He Shen hit him on the head.

He Lin hurriedly stopped talking, then smiled and said, "You two girls please first."

Xichun heaved a sigh of relief, came up and took Daiyu's arm, and walked out together with her.

But when she got to the door, Daiyu couldn't help turning her head.

It happened that He Shen was also looking at her, their eyes met, and Daiyu didn't know why, she had to say goodbye after she had just said a few words, but the joy in her heart was still climbing up uncontrollably.

"Go." He Shen whispered.

"En." Daiyu replied, and then walked a little further.

After walking far, Daiyu took a jujube from the box Xueyan was holding and gave it to Xichun: "Try it?"

Xichun shook her head: "This is for my sister."

Daiyu stuffed her lips and said in a low voice, "Fourth sister, don't be so careful."

Xichun bit the jujube into her mouth, chewed it carefully and did not speak.

Sweetness in the mouth.

After a while, Daiyu heard her pretending to be relaxed and said with a smile: "It would be fine if I wasn't born in Ningguo Mansion, even if I fell into a random family, it would be fine."

Daiyu blinked.

She originally thought that the girls in the Rongguo Mansion should have a better life.

But now, she has become the best one.

……

After Daiyu and others left, Taoist Xuan came back.

He paid homage to He Lin first, and then said to He Shen: "Congratulations, young master." Even when he was not in front of others, Master Xuan recalled his previous title.

His congratulations are not only congratulations to Heshen who has just been promoted to an official, but also congratulations to Heshen who is married.

Fame and fortune, as well as the women he admired, are already within his reach.

Taoist Master Xuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Fortunately, he had spotted the right person back then, and He Shen was sure to be a great fortune in the future.

"The things are put away?" He Shen asked suddenly.

Master Xuan nodded hurriedly: "Yes, it is the one you gave me. I stuffed it into the bamboo knot and handed it to Miss Lin."

"En." He Shen responded in a low voice.

Where is there any talisman that is effective in everything?

It's just a borrowing symbol, passing on Heshen's words.

What's more...

Master Xuan smiled.

How can there be a better amulet than Heshen?
