The Fate of the Red Chamber

Until April, the counter-insurgency troops still did not report any success, and it was not obvious from the back, but they were already anxious.The supply of food and grass was about to run out, and the envoys sent to Tubo did not get any reply from Tubo, and the envoys who went to persuade them to surrender had no news.

During this time, she sent someone to keep an eye on Liu Xuan and Lin Mohan, and the two of them acted like monks, staying at home all day and not interacting with outsiders, so she couldn't get a little wrong.She naturally knew that the rebel army was named after the Qing emperor, so there should be a royal child behind it, otherwise even if the rebellion succeeded, their succession would not be justifiable, and the three should not obey the other.

But this is not the case. She gradually discovered that the actions of the three places were as discussed, in step with each other. They should advance together, and they did not attack the capital rashly. It was obvious that they were restraining their own forces.In other words, there should be a unified command behind them. Among the former emperor's sons, Liu Xuan is the only one who is more promising, and the rest are not troublesome.Liu Xuan didn't come out of the gate, and even Princess Ning'an didn't move, so who is planning all this behind the scenes.

Right now, the only way to strengthen the defense of the capital is to capture one place as soon as possible, so as to free up hands to deal with the other two places or return to the capital.Here, only his elder brother King Zhongshun is absolutely reliable and has the strongest military force.The queen mother gritted her teeth and ordered another [-] troops to go to the south of the Yangtze River, demanding that King Zhongshun take down the rebels within three months.

King Zhongshun had reinforcements and the Queen Mother's order, so he naturally didn't dare to be negligent. He mustered up his morale and fought back against the rebels several times, but the effect was not very good.Every time the casualties were not small, but no benefit was obtained.He has led soldiers for decades, and his rich experience is unmatched. However, the rebel army is based on the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and it is difficult for them to attack, especially the northern army is not familiar with water and is very passive.

By June, there was still no movement.

In the quiet and dark night, there are occasional frog sounds, making it even more lonely.

"How is your business going? Why is there no movement?" Although the voice was gentle, there was an unquestionable majesty.Appears to be an old woman.

"Master, I'm sorry, I can't find a chance. And he is very cautious, I can't do it at all." Delicate and frightened, she can be heard as a beautiful woman.

Under the night sky, the man's eyes were brighter than the stars, as if he could see through the soul of a person: "You should know the fate of lying to me. The opportunity is created by you. If you don't go, will people come to your door? Three days Within, I want to get the result."

In the blur, a snow-white figure knelt on the ground: "Master, please, don't do this. I, I can't, I can't do it."

"Your brother's life and death are all up to you. After three days, you can either take him away or collect his body." The voice was still cold, without any room for manoeuvre, and he drifted away after speaking.

The woman in white immediately burst into tears, why, does it have to be like this?

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, Mo Han decided to take Daiyu to move to Lushan Mountain, where several summer resorts were built, much cooler than down the mountain, and it was agreed to leave early tomorrow morning.

Mo Han coaxed Daiyu to sleep, remembering that there was something important in the study that was not put away, so he hurried to the front.The study is about a cup of tea away from Qi Fei Courtyard, not very far, and Mo Han has always disliked serving maids, so he hurried away with a small hexagonal glass lamp alone.

Even in the middle of the night, the temperature is still hot.Mo Han pushed open the door, and the cool air rushed towards his face. Who put ice cubes in the study, and he didn't order it?After hanging the glass lamp, Mo Han groped for a rectangular box on the desk under the dim light. The clear fragrance rushed straight into his nose, and he couldn't help but felt a wave of heat in his body.

After putting things away, he felt very tired and planned to rest in the Taishi chair for a while before going back.There seemed to be a fire burning in his blood, and it traveled to his whole body, and an abnormal longing filled his mind.Mo Han didn't know his love well, so he fell into a trick and forced himself to stand up, but he was so wobbly that he couldn't walk half a step, he managed to get under the window, and the door was just a few steps away.

His figure swayed, his feet softened, and he fell on the kang by the window.The softness under the body, if you touch it carefully, it is a woman.

Mo Han's eyes were red, his veins were bursting, and he was so hot that he was about to burn.He tried his best to push the woman away, and took a closer look, Chu Chumei makeup, cherry on the mouth, willow leaves on the eyebrows, dark hair lightly folded, and the snow-white muscles, who is it not Ye Wenxiu?She was wearing a pink mandarin duck bellyband inside, and only a thin white gauze outside, and she had a panoramic view of her exquisite figure and plump figure.The tears in her eyes became more and more charming.

Mo Han was furious at once, he kindly took in the orphan of a loyal minister, the daughter of his father's old friend, he didn't expect this woman to have such thoughts, thanks to her patience for so long, he was careless recently, and actually got her way.He wanted to climb out of bed, but he didn't have any strength in his body, and it was difficult to even breathe.

Ye Wenxiu gritted her teeth, leaned forward, climbed onto Mo Han's body with her long and slender arms, pulled Mo Han's already messy single clothes off with a slight tug, and kept circling and kneading his chest with provocative fingers.

With a bang, the desire in Mo Han's lower abdomen rose uncontrollably, and he desperately needed to be comforted. He is an adult man, and he knew his own reaction, so he immediately hated and kicked Ye Wenxiu.But he couldn't use any strength at the moment, Ye Wenxiu just tilted her body, and quickly threw herself into Mo Han's arms, using her softness and plumpness to get close to him.

The clamoring desire of the body was constantly fighting against the little bit of clarity left, and there was only one thought in Mo Han's mind, that he must not let his sister down, otherwise she would definitely despise him.He found a light flashing in front of his eyes, and suddenly realized that it was a hairpin from Ye Wenxiu's hair. He snatched it with his hands, and stabbed at her with all his strength, hitting Ye Wenxiu's shoulder.

Ye Wenxiu suffered from the pain, and instinctively shrank back, and hurriedly checked her shoulder, bleeding profusely, she is a pampered and pampered young lady, when did she go through such pain, tears streaming down her face, and she looked at Mo Han with shame and loss in her eyes.

Immediately, Mo Han stabbed himself, the pain awakened the strength in his body, he rolled to the ground, stumbled and rushed out, and plunged into the small lake outside the study.

On the second day, Ye Wenxiu was quietly sent to another place. After a night of torment, Mo Han looked tired, in a trance, and his complexion was a little blue.

It began to rain lightly in the middle of the night last night, and it hasn't stopped until this time. After a few days of intense heat, the air is cool and very comfortable.Daiyu was surprised when she heard from the maids that her brother was still sleeping, and rushed over without thinking about breakfast.

The beautiful blue curtain hung on the ground, and the room was silent. Xueyan hurriedly lifted the curtain, saw the half-exposed black hair on the bed, made sure that Mo Han was inside, and came out to report to Daiyu.Daiyu hesitated for a moment, then finally stomped her feet and ran in, sat on the edge of the bed, and asked softly, "Brother, what's wrong with you, I'll order someone to call for a doctor."

Mo Han was awakened, turned his head, and smiled weakly at Daiyu: "Don't go, I slept too late yesterday, and now I don't have energy, why do I need a doctor? Let Xueyan and the others eat with you Go to breakfast, and I'll lie down again."

"You, you lied to me. You look so bad, you must be sick. If you don't ask the doctor to show you, how can I be at ease, how can I eat?" Daiyu saw Mo Han usually handsome and handsome His appearance was gone, and he became lazy and absent-minded. His heart was anxious and painful, and his tears couldn't stop rolling down.Daiyu ignored Mo Han's refusal, turned around and ordered someone to call for a doctor immediately.

Mo Han nestled in the pillow, his face turned pale, it's fine if the doctor's medical skills are not good, it's bad if he's a good one, sister, she shouldn't understand, right?

Daiyu ordered the servant girl to scoop up water again, and helped Mo Han to wash himself up, looking much refreshed.Soon, Manager Xiaolin invited Dr. Sun, who is the most skilled in local medicine.Dr. Sun's beard and hair are white, but his complexion is ruddy, his eyes and ears are clear, and Mo Han groaned loudly in his heart.

Dr. Sun just glanced at Mo Han, and his face was wrinkled. Looking at this complexion, he clearly looks like an excessive indulgence. If he had known that he would not come, the descendants of the Wang family are not as good as the next generation.

Mo Han was embarrassed, thinking of Daiyu who was waiting behind the screen, his heart jumped into his throat, and he wanted to speak to remind Dr. Sun, but Dr. Sun frowned and stroked his beard for a while to understand his pulse.You have to smile and say: "Young man, don't listen to those Taoist priests' nonsense, such a boy's longevity is all made up. People, who has all kinds of emotions, especially at your age, do you think you are It's enough to be patient, and I tell you that it is easy to damage your own bones if you use such a drastic method to force it down.

As for the old man in your family, tell her that although young people are not allowed to indulge in sex, they cannot abstain from it either.You are not young, but you haven't married a wife. Doesn't it mean that a big family like yours doesn't even have a few maids?Take good care of it, otherwise you will have no time to regret it in the future. "As he spoke, Dr. Sun blinked at Mo Han to show his understanding.

Manager Lin didn't hear it right at first, but then he almost knelt down to accept the punishment. Seeing that he was in charge, his master was at this age, and he actually forgot to arrange a few people in his room.It's hard to say that the master is thin-skinned, so what if something happens?

Suddenly, there was a snap, and there was a rustling sound behind the screen, and then a series of footsteps gradually drifted away.

Mo Han's face turned from red to green, his eyebrows and nose were almost squeezed together, this, this, what kind of shit is this?Looking back, how can I have the face to face my sister, my sister will definitely think of me as a playboy, right?

Don't talk about Mo Han sending Steward Lin Haosheng to send Dr. Sun back, just talk about Daiyu.Daiyu hid behind the screen because she was afraid that her brother would hide his illness from her. At first, she heard it in a cloud, but then all the maids came out. What is the girl used for.A girl who has not been out of the court, heard people talking about this carelessly, could not blush with embarrassment, and dropped the round fan in her hand to the ground in embarrassment.

She didn't dare to ask about Mo Han's condition, she slipped out from the side door as if fleeing, and several servant girls chased after her.

Daiyu lay sideways on Jin Yanrong Qin Xiangfei's couch and took a nap, covering her face with a handkerchief, even so, she could still see the color of rouge on her neck.

"Girl, I haven't used breakfast yet, so get up and eat something. It was hot a few days ago, and you didn't eat anything. You should eat more while it's cooler today. I'm afraid you won't be able to go up the mountain today." Bai Hui Fearing that Daiyu would be overwhelmed, he came over and pushed her body.

"I'm not hungry." Daiyu's heart was still beating wildly at the moment, and she immediately arched her body, refusing to see anyone.

"Eat even if you're not hungry. If the girl doesn't get up to eat, I'm going to repay the uncle." Bai Hui stood up.

Daiyu turned over and sat up in a hurry, grabbed Bai Hui's sleeves tightly, and said with a mournful face, "My good sister, I can't eat, so don't go."

"Girl eat obediently, I naturally won't go." Bai Hui pursed her lips and smiled, she knew it would work.

Baihui and a few girls brought over two red lacquer and enamel-inlaid plum blossom and hexagonal incense tables, and asked Daiyu to continue eating on the couch.A bowl of green lotus leaf japonica rice porridge, a few dishes of congee side dishes, and a bowl of tofu skin buns and crystal rose cake.Under Baihui's supervision, Daiyu ate some desperately, and wanted to ask her brother if he sent it there, but she couldn't ask.

All morning, Daiyu just sat and didn't speak, she ignored Xueyan's pick on her a few times, and was in a daze.After a long time, he asked Xueyan in a soft voice: "Say, do you want to arrange a few maids for the uncle?" After speaking, he quickly lowered his head, as if this was such a bad word.

Xueyan has always understood Daiyu's intentions, the girl is not a magnanimous person, if the uncle dares to joke with anyone, she will be annoyed, but she pretends to be thoughtful and replied: "According to the rules, the men of our family are thirteen or fourteen years old. Just arrange a few housekeeper girls. We don’t have any elders in our family, so Lili girl should really take care of it. Now the uncle is in his twenties, and everyone else has sons and daughters. There is not even a girl to serve, so this is not the way after all.

In our house, there can be fewer young and beautiful maids, and the girl may point out whoever will serve the uncle.That way, the uncle will be taken care of, and the girl will be able to worry less, girl, do you think this is the case?In my opinion, it would be nice to have Chunmei among the second-class maids. Not only is she born well, but she is also gentle and appropriate, generous and courteous. "

Daiyu listened to Xueyan getting more and more excited as she talked, she was so choked up that she couldn't speak a word when she pointed at her, her heart was sore and aching, did she come up with some bad ideas?Snow geese, dead snow geese, how come they are not so smart on weekdays, but now they talk in a different way, and they block themselves so that they can't talk back.

Under Xueyan's lobbying, Daiyu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately ordered her servant girl to go up the mountain, regardless of the slippery road after the rain.It just so happened that Mo Han felt ashamed to see Daiyu, so he went out to manage the affairs after a short rest, but he was not there.

The servants didn't dare to refute Daiyu's words, they sent someone to inform Mo Han and prepared a sedan chair to go up the mountain.Salutes and the like have already been packed, and Daiyu can set off immediately after giving the order.

When the car reached the foot of the mountain, it was impossible to move forward. Everyone got out of the car and got on the sedan chair.Fortunately, it didn't rain on the mountain, and about a third of the way up, it was a clean and tidy mountain road.

The other courtyard is built between the mountainside and the top of the mountain. There are three courtyards in total, front, back, left, and right.While the maids were packing their luggage, Daiyu sat on a rose chair with black lacquer and green cushions, and glanced outside from time to time.She was originally full of anger and ran away from home, but at this time, before Mo Han came to find her, her three-point anger would be seven-point.

Bai Hui was about to persuade Daiyu to take a rest first, when the little girl came in and said that there was an old nun with hair practicing outside, and she wanted to see Miss Lin by name.

This time, not only Daiyu, but even the servant girls all changed their expressions. No one else knew about their stay at Lushan Mountain, and she had only been up the mountain for half an hour, and someone came here to call her by name. Shock.Could it be that their whereabouts were leaked?

Daiyu suppressed her nervousness and doubts, and invited the man in.

She was actually a beautiful old nun, with fair skin, delicate features, and a slender figure. It could be seen that she must have been an extremely beautiful woman when she was young.She has a smile on her brows, she looks kind and amiable, but she has a dignified and majestic majesty, which makes people dare not look down upon Daiyu seriously.

The moment she appeared, a strange brilliance flashed across Daiyu's heart, a long-lost sense of intimacy emerged spontaneously, and she couldn't help liking her.She hadn't saluted anyone for a long time, but she gave a standard blessing to the old nun very naturally: "Mr. Lin has met the teacher, how dare I ask the teacher's name?"

"Chuyuan, poor nun." Her voice was very pleasant, very calm and full.

"Master, please sit down and serve tea." Daiyu was slightly taken aback, who else would have such a name?

The old nun was not polite at all, and went directly to the first seat in the middle and sat down.Xueyan wanted to scold her, but Daiyu gently pulled her back.Daiyu still smiled and walked to the next seat and sat down.

"Good tea and good water." The old nun's tea drinking posture is extremely elegant, as if he has received professional training, and his every move and action is naturally noble, even the Queen Mother can't match it.Because the Empress Dowager likes to show kindness deliberately, but she always exudes grace and luxury unintentionally, which doesn't match the black clothes on her.

Daiyu knew that she had met an extraordinary person, so she gathered her energy to deal with it, not letting go of any slight expression or movement of hers.Smiled faintly: "Master is too generous."

"Do you know what your good brother did last night?" Her expression changed suddenly, her face was covered with frost, and she changed the subject in an instant.

"My brother? What's wrong with him?" Daiyu couldn't maintain her sanity when she encountered Mo Han's matter, and her face was full of anxiety.

"He is really a good son and grandson of the Lin family, he ruined my apprentice." The old nun sneered again and again, looking straight at Daiyu.

Daiyu only felt a violent dizziness, her chest was oppressed and she couldn't breathe, but she still insisted on denouncing: "You are lying. My brother is not that kind of person."

All the maids in the room were terrified, this old nun was too scary.

The old nun conjured up a white belt out of nowhere and threw it at Daiyu's feet: "Look, does this belong to your good brother?"

Daiyu collapsed to her knees, picked up her belt tremblingly, and Bai Hui hurriedly stepped forward to help her sit back in her original position.She couldn't be more aware of her brother's things. This is what happened to her brother last night. It's impossible, absolutely impossible.

"It's just a belt, I don't believe it." Daiyu tightened her belt desperately, as if it could give her strength, she knew that she was going to be unable to hold on any longer.

"Actually, this is nothing in the mansion gate? My apprentice has been leading the practice. Since your brother ruined her, you should at least marry her in. You are a younger sister, and you should marry a sister-in-law for your brother Zhang Luo Zhang Luo. .” The old nun’s face turned gentle, and his tone became friendly.

Daiyu's hand loosened and tightened for a while, as if there was a huge wave in her heart, she only knew that she would not allow her brother to marry anyone else, not anyone else.She sat steadily, put the belt on the table, took a sip of tea, and then her brows were cold, and her soft voice was full of gold and stone: "I don't agree. No matter what you say is true or false, Yes, none of your apprentices can enter our Lin family and become my Lin Daiyu's sister-in-law. Please go back."

If you observe carefully, you will find a flash of appreciation in the old nun's eyes, but his tone is extremely cold: "Are you trying to bully others?"

"Our Lin family doesn't do bullying, but we won't admit to trumped-up charges." Low and firm, Mo Han strode in, walked directly to Daiyu, took Daiyu's head in his arms, and gently comforted: "Sister, she is a liar, don't be afraid."

"Well, I'm not afraid." Daiyu forced herself to suppress the flood of tears. She felt so wronged that her brother was a villain and came so late.

"Brothers and sisters are not at the same table at the age of seven, are you not afraid of insulting the century-old reputation of the Lin family? Can the ancestors of the Lin family rest in peace underground?" The old nun's tone was stern, with disgust in his eyes and eyes.

Suddenly, Mohan pulled Daiyu to the middle, knelt down in front of the old nun, and said calmly: "Lin Mohan and his younger sister Lin Daiyu have met grandma and kowtowed to grandma." After finishing speaking, he respectfully kowtowed three times .

As if struck by lightning, Daiyu stared at the old nun dumbfounded, not to mention kowtowing with Mo Han.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you crazy, even your own grandmother randomly recognizes people." Lao Ni reluctantly sat on the chair, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"No matter what reason grandma refuses to recognize us, my sister and I will always respect you as our grandma and elder." Mo Han's eyes were not shy, and he believed that this must be their grandmother who had disappeared for decades.

The old nun finally couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed over to hug Daiyu: "Granddaughter, my granddaughter."

Daiyu was completely dumbfounded. This person, yes, is her grandmother?Who can tell her if it's true?Lao Ni's embrace gave her a natural sense of closeness, she felt that she was connected with her blood, and she was sure that this person was her grandmother.Daiyu wept bitterly, threw herself into the old nun's arms, and said softly, "Grandma, grandma, grandma."

"My dear boy, you have suffered all these years. It's because of your grandmother's fault that she didn't have a good life to protect you." The old nun hugged Daiyu tightly, with tears that hadn't been seen for decades streaming down his face.

"No, as long as I can see my grandmother again, I will be very happy. I thought I would have no relatives anymore." Daiyu's excitement and joy filled her heart. For once, she experienced the warmth and peace of mind brought by her relatives.
