The jade that pulls the red mansion is also crazy

Last time it was said that Xiangyun was looking for something in Yinhu's study and was found by Baochai. Fortunately, there was no danger. Knowing that Baochai must pay more attention to her every move, so he will be careful about everything in the future and refuse to give her a chance. thing.

It is said that the winter moon is getting deeper, the world is ice and snowy, and December is over before you know it. Recently, Jia's house has less entertainment and is much quieter. Now that Sister Feng has recently contracted an illness and her spirit is short, Jia's mother ordered her to rest at home. I asked Li Wan and Tanchun to help manage the house for the time being. Tanchun saw that there were too many extravagant places in the mansion, and when he checked the accounts, he could see that he could not make ends meet. The reduction means that the number of maids and boys in each master's office is reduced from eight to four, and that of four is reduced to two. Inside and outside the garden, young masters and young ladies spend on daily expenses. Save a sum of money for the Jia family, which is about to be released.

As a result, even though it was a good thing, the number of people in the house suddenly decreased. In addition, because of Yinhu's suggestion, the twelve little opera singers were rewarded and sent home. Madam asked Jiang Yuancuian to be cleaned out, and she would rent or sell it in the future, and then make a decision. As a result, the entrance looked a little desolate, empty and desolate, and when the concubine Yuan was ill again in the palace, Jia Mu was worried. He sighed every day, and even refused to invite Dongfu to invite him to dinner. If there was Sister Feng, he could persuade her.

It is also very strange to say that on this day, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there was a light snowfall the night before, and in the early morning, a girl in Jiamu's yard discovered that an old flower tree had produced a flower bud, although it was still budding. Open, but the only spot among the pale colors in the world is bright red like blood, but it is very eye-catching. The girl was deeply surprised, so she told her sisters about it. Ji, getting this blood red, fleeting, buried in the vastness of the world, does not seem to be a good omen, but when Jiamu asked, how could anyone dare to say the word "not good"?They all pick good luck, so that they can be relieved and happy.

The news spread like wildfire, and it spread to Lingfengju very quickly. Yinhu just laughed when he heard the news.

What is the sign of the vision? He didn't bother to think about it. What does the survival of the Jia family have to do with him?He didn't care at all.

Now that Yinhu has something to do, he can't be free every day. Just five days ago, General Li was summoned back and temporarily placed under house arrest in a Huayuan near the capital. All supplies are first-class unless necessary. He was not allowed to contact the outside world, and soldiers were watching all day long, and his military power had been taken back when he returned, and a new general was sent to the frontier to monitor and 'assist' Nanchuan.

Now, from the moment he opened his eyes, he had to face many officials who came to pay a visit. He obviously paid a visit, but in fact it was just to show his attitude. Xi knew little about this old general before, but after a few short days, he suddenly realized that Old General Li was too upright in his life, and he also offended too many people. Looking back, there was a voice against him behind him, a force that wanted to avenge his private revenge. From an emotional point of view, he somewhat sympathized with this old general, but from a rational point of view, even he felt that his military power was too heavy. Yes, the prestige is too high, the credit is too great, indeed, it has reached the point where people start to be afraid.

If he took this matter at the beginning, he still had some bloody impulses, but now that this impulse has cooled down, he only has principles, and principles have no enthusiasm. The so-called emotions will not remain in it. If he was still controlling the situation at the beginning, then now, the situation is already controlling him to leave.

The soldier's report comes every hour. Someone just came to report that he was sick on the way, and now his cough has become severe. Yinhu had no choice but to ask the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment. After a while, another boy came and handed him a letter. , Yinhu raised his tired eyes, glanced at them, frowned slightly, and asked, "What's going on?"

The boy hurriedly said: "Go back to the Eighth Master, the Eighth Master asked the boy to monitor the outside world's contact with the Thirteenth Master and the Fourth Master. This is the letter I just intercepted from the messenger."

This boy is one of Yinhu's four servants. Yinhu usually calls them invisible people. Yinhu doesn't like to dance with guns and clubs, so his skill is much worse than Yinxiang and others, but he is ingenious and secretly raises these few people , These boys are best at stealing information and investigating secretly. Yinhu used them for his own use, so he knew everything Yinxiang did that day, and it was Yinhu who made many people secretly fear him. an ace.

Yinhu closed his eyes, lay down on the chair, and said, "Where did you come from?" At this time, his mind was full of the current affairs, and his thoughts on paying attention to Yinxiang's movements had faded.

The boy took a step forward and said: "Back to Ba Ye, this letter, which says it came out of this mansion, seems to be from Miss Lin."

Yinhu opened his eyes slowly, hummed, and said, "Go down."

The kid agreed, and retreated respectfully, and when he closed the door, Yinhu suddenly got up from the chair, and quickly picked up the letter.

There is no writing on the letter, so it can be seen that it was dictated. Who is it for?Is it Lin Long?Or the thirteenth brother?It must be for the thirteenth brother, otherwise why there is no word on the envelope?What is she going to say?

Yinhu paused for a moment, and some thoughts made him gradually frown, and he said to himself in his heart: I need to investigate, after all, the fourth brother and the thirteenth brother are doing important things, and they are related to the court. Is there anything that shouldn't be said here, let someone with a heart see it, if there are side effects, wouldn't it be a small loss?You shouldn't cheat for personal gain just because it's Miss Lin's letter, right.

Thinking about it this way, it made sense, almost without waiting, and suddenly tore open the envelope.

There are only a few short lines, and the words say: It is better to let them collapse than to collapse themselves. The friendship of interests will not last long. It's not difficult to break the elder brother's plan again.

Then he said, "Yu'er is all well, brother take care, return early".

Seeing this, Yinhu not only breathed a sigh of relief, but also smiled involuntarily on his face.

It turned out that it was for Lin Long, he was overthinking.

Then he unfolded the letter and looked at Daiyu's handwriting word by word. Daiyu's handwriting was beautiful and delicate, just like her own. On a whim, Yinhu took out a translucent white paper from the box and covered it on Daiyu's chest. On the letter, I imitated her, wrote one myself for half a day, read it again and again, pursed my lips and smiled, folded it up and put it away, then took an identical envelope, put Daiyu's letter inside, carefully sealed up.

He called the boy, but his life was still properly delivered to Lin Long.

After the boy left, Yinhu sat on the chair and swayed back and forth. Then he recalled the content of the letter, and couldn't help but meditate secretly. Judging from the letter, Daiyu obviously received Lin Long's letter before, so it can be seen that Lin Long When encountering any difficulties, Daiyu would advise him, "It is better to let him collapse than to collapse." "When you see doubts, it is difficult to treat each other with sincerity." Unexpectedly, such a person as her would have such thoughts, just this one place, it can be seen that she is very different from those vulgar and vulgar fans in this garden, Yingyingyanyan.

A smile appeared on his face, he was happy that his eyesight was good, and he thought: That's natural, which one am I?How could it be possible to see the wrong person!Suddenly he laughed and shouted, "Come on!"

The little girl heard Master Belle calling for someone in the study, and thought there was something important, so she hurried into the room, Yinhu was pacing back and forth in the room with her hands behind her back, with a red face, pointing at the little girl, and said with a smile: "You, go and pour me a drink." A cup of tea!"

The little girl was stunned, and hurriedly groaned, and went down in surprise. Yinhu was in a very happy mood, and sat on the chair again, concentrating on smiling and thinking.

Not to mention what kind of thoughts Yinhu came up with, but when it comes to Daiyu, she was really happy to receive a letter from Lin Long yesterday. In short, after analyzing it for a while, I understood the meaning of his words. Now that the case has reached a bottleneck, it is a critical moment to break through the difficulties. I was anxious and stayed up all night. As for today, I quietly wrote a letter and asked someone to deliver it. I had nothing to do for a while, so I put on my clothes, sat by the window and read a book, staring at the book, but thinking about how many days it would take The letter will arrive. How is Lin Long doing now? Can she help them? How long will it take for everyone to come back? Will there be any danger? Hu looked over.

When I was not explaining, I heard Xueyan and others talking about the old tree growing stamens. They all said it was a bad omen. Daiyu is a person who is easily suspicious. After hearing this, she felt a little uneasy. Let me talk about the girls He said: "The wonders of heaven and earth are not the only one. What's the point of this? Don't just talk about it, if it is passed on to the old lady, won't you be punished?"

Then he told the girls to go to their respective places, and sat concentrating on themselves, unable to see anything from the left and right, so he closed the book, rested his chin with his hand, frowned slightly, and thought wildly.

Suddenly, he saw the ink painting at the residence of Lingfeng coming, and said with a smile: "Our master wants to invite the girl to talk in the garden."

Daiyu was slightly taken aback, and said, "What can I say?"

Mo Hua smiled and said: "Our master thinks he has something to trouble the girl, and he has already set up tea in the warm pavilion in front of the Leaning House."

When Daiyu heard this, she was puzzled and couldn't refuse, so she had to follow.

Yinhu wore an oil-green sable wool silk jacket, and the white snow on the jacket was elegant and fresh. He sat quietly and waited. Sure enough, there was an elegant small stove next to it, and boiling hot tea was burning on the stove, which made people put Daiyu on the stove. Thick cushions were spread on the stone chair beside him, and a hand stove was prepared. When he saw Daiyu coming, he stood up, gave up his seat with a smile, and all the maids went down.

Daiyu Yingying sat down, turned her body sideways, and asked, "Is Eighth Master okay?"

Yinhu poured a cup of tea for Daiyu, and said with a smile: "It's nothing serious, but I think the snow scene is very good today, and I want to invite Miss Lin to enjoy the snow and tea, and thank you for the gift of books that day."

Then he took out the book wrapped in a silk cloth and returned it to Daiyu, thanking her, Daiyu took it, and said with a smile: "It's just a book, what is it worth?"

Yinhu then poured tea for Daiyu herself, thought for a while, and smiled: "Actually, I invited the girl here today. Apart from these, I have another unfeeling invitation, which I want to tell Miss Lin."

Daiyu asked 'what's the matter', and Yinhu laughed and said: "Master Lin was born in Tanhua in the past, and my emperor Ama often praised her for her knowledge and knowledge, as well as both civil and military skills. Miss Lin was trained by Master Lin himself. It must be good, now that I'm entangled in many things, I can't help it occasionally, so I would like to ask Miss Lin to be my adviser and give me some advice, and I hope Miss Lin will not feel abrupt."

Daiyu was surprised when she heard this, she smiled quietly, and said: "Bailee, as Lord Baylor, is there still a shortage of talents around him? Is there no one to advise Baye? Besides, what Baye does is a matter of military affairs, How can I, a woman, say such a thing, even Eighth Master is willing, but Daiyu dare not, I have little talent and learning, and I am not as capable as Eighth Master said, if there is a slight mistake, the relationship will be very serious, how can I deal with myself ? Thanks to Eighth Master, but I can't do it."

Yinhu laughed and said, "Ms. Lin is too modest. As long as she is intelligent, what does it matter if a woman is a man? Since ancient times, there is a saying that 'women do not give way to men'. Could it be that Hua Mulan, Mu Guiying, and Madam She are not women? They You can also fight thousands of miles decisively and strategize, why can't the girl?"

Daiyu shook her head and smiled: "These people are all phoenixes among men, with extraordinary gifts. I'm just a layman. How can I be worthy? How can I compare with them? If Ba Ye said it again, I would be ashamed to death." .”

Yinhu laughed and said, "In my opinion, it's not because Miss Lin can't, but because she doesn't want to?"

Daiyu glanced at him and said with a smile, "Daiyu knows her own ability, so she doesn't want to act rashly." She sipped tea and watched the snow.

Yinhu was very disappointed when she saw that she insisted on refusing. It turned out that he wanted to give her a position as a consultant because he saw that Daiyu had such a good intention. I can often have the opportunity to contact Daiyu, but she repeatedly shirks that she can't, leaving him with nothing to say for a while, and after two silences, Yinhu suddenly had an idea, sighed, and said: "It seems that Miss Lin doesn't want to help you. My thirteenth brother and brother Lin's."

Daiyu was startled, and asked, "What happened to them?"

Yinhu hesitated for a while, seeming to think about whether to say it or not. After a long while, Fang said: "Miss Lin doesn't know something. The matter I'm dealing with now has something to do with your brother. I'm worried that there is no one around me." Can give me a good idea, I want to ask the girl to give me a plan, but the girl refuses."

Then he said: "A few days ago I recalled an old official. After several years of secret investigations, this old official not only has a huge illegal army under his command, but also is the leader of many corrupt officials. He has great financial resources. It was obtained by forcibly collecting taxes from common people and merchants in various provinces, and secretly bought a series of officials, including many important officials of the imperial court. Do you still remember the unjust cases of assassination of upright officials that were raging a few years ago? These upright officials are of different levels, but they all have the same example: They all want to investigate what is going on here, that's why they were murdered. This man's hands are bloodstained, and his crime is unforgivable. It's a good breakthrough, but now, he seems to know that the situation is not good, and he is eager to get out, even jumping over the wall in a hurry, let alone this liger, once he is allowed to go back, with his terrible financial and material resources, he is afraid of the consequences. It's unimaginable, not to mention the fourth brother, the thirteenth brother, your brother and the others are in danger. I'm afraid that he will turn against him and cause a mutiny. I can't let him go, but because of the lack of evidence, I can't keep him. His reason is that he is in a dilemma, and he just doesn't know what to do."

Daiyu asked: "Ba Ye said, but is it true?"

Yinhu said: "How can I be in the mood to joke with Miss Lin on such a big matter?"

When Daiyu heard that the matter was so serious, she was also a little dazed, and nothing else mattered, but the sentence "Your brother and the others are in danger" made her heart jump. Sure enough, the officialdom is deep, the future is uncertain, and the situation is changing, maybe not If you are not careful, maybe it is just a link that you never thought of, which can make you instantly on the verge of a cliff, and your life hangs by a thread. Thinking of the words "life hangs by a thread", Daiyu can't help but frown deeply, her eyes are condensed, where is it? I can also take care to think about whether there are loopholes in Yinhu's words, and the faint words, like a dream, said, "What should I do?"

Yinhu originally made up nonsense, just to prevent Daiyu from hearing Daiyu's words, "If Master Ba is fine, Daiyu will leave first." He just wanted her to stay a little longer, even if it was dry Shu, talk about Bai Xue, you can say anything, it's just such a small wish that made him make up a lie without even thinking about it, because he knows that as long as Yinxiang and the others are mentioned, it will definitely affect her emotions .

But seeing her anxious and worried, frowning deeply, I felt mixed feelings in my heart, including jealousy, apprehension, and a little bit of unbearable, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

It snowed again, the sky and the earth were white, and everything was silent, so Daiyu said softly: "I often heard my grandmother say, my mother was so precious and pampered since she was a child. But it is a collection of thousands of pets. I often hear them talk about how my mother lived and behaved when she was a daughter, as if they were listening to someone else, because as far as I can remember, my mother is calm and peaceful. A little bit like the temperament of noble ladies from other families, what she yearns for is not the brilliance and prosperity, but a kind of pureness that is in the paradise and transcends the world. I used to think that she was born with that kind of personality. There is such a big difference between her in eyes and her in other people's mouths, and I realized later that it was because of my father that she changed."

After a long silence, Fang said to Yinhu: "Since the eighth master also said that the official's hands were covered with blood and killed the upright officials, for such a heinous person, would the eighth master hesitate to find a reason to put him under house arrest?"
