[Red Mansion] Ronghua Road of Mrs. Hou's Mansion

After discussing with Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, Jia's mother immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Yangzhou non-stop, asking Lin Ruhai to help talk about the matter, hoping to turn the fight with Luo Yushi into a jade silk.

What they didn't know was that as early as a few days ago, Lin Ruhai received a letter from Luo Yushi. In the letter, Luo Yushi explained to him the grievances between himself and the Rongguo Mansion in detail, telling him not to worry too much.Luo Yushi just wanted to let the Rongguo Mansion worry about it for a few days, and would not do anything to the Jia family, so he just wrote back.

Lin Ruhai understood, so he wrote back to Rongguo Mansion, saying that he had already written to persuade Luo Yushi, presumably Luo Yushi would not care about the Jia family anymore.

Sure enough, Emperor Tianshun just reprimanded Jia Zheng, and Luo Yushi didn't hold back anymore.In addition, Jia Baoyu was also beaten up, and this incident can be regarded as over.

After that, the matter was finally settled, and Mother Jia couldn't help but look at Lin Ruhai differently, and valued Daiyu more and more.

Of course, this is a story.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Jiang personally sent Sister Feng to the door, and took Sister Feng to give her instructions.Wang Xihe also looked reluctant to leave, if Mrs. Jiang didn't agree, she would have followed.

This time I went to the south of the Yangtze River, the mountains were long and the road was long, so Mrs. Jiang sent Lin Zhixiao's family to follow.Lin Zhixiao and his wife acted properly, and Mrs. Jiang had chosen a companion room for Sister Feng long ago. Mrs. Jiang was very relieved of them.

Just after Si time, a group of people arrived at the pier.By this time, it was already hot.As soon as I got out of the carriage, I heard the bustling sound, there were already many boats floating on the water, among the crowded crowd, porters who carried the boats were sweating profusely in coarse short jackets.

Lin Zhixiao's family came in a carriage from behind and supported Sister Feng, "Girl, our boat is waiting on the shore, let's get on board now."

Sister Feng looked at the sparkling water and nodded, "Let's go."

When I went out this time, I didn't bring many things with me.Except for the clothes, they were just gold and silver, so they set off without a long delay.

After an unknown amount of time, feeling far away from the bustling pier, Sister Feng lifted the curtain and peeked outside.

The breeze came slowly, reducing the heat and bringing a sense of coolness.The water and the sky meet, the sky is endless, surrounded by green trees and green mountains, and the clouds and shadows float above the blue sky.Looking at it like this, I feel that my mind is much more open.

Sister Feng seldom travels far, so she can't help feeling a little strange.She rested her jaw on her hand and looked at the beautiful scenery outside, feeling quite relaxed.

Ping'er also lay down in front of the window to look at the scenery, suddenly showing surprise, and tugged at Sister Feng's clothes, "Miss, look, have you seen the person opposite?"

Sister Feng looked puzzled, but she still looked in the direction Ping'er pointed, and couldn't help being stunned.

The man was sitting by the window, holding a wine glass, with a lazy expression, and a pair of peach blossom eyes wandering around carelessly.The wind filled the sleeves and floated outside the window.

Sister Feng felt a little weird, and planned to put down the curtain.As if the person opposite noticed that someone was looking at him, he also turned his eyes to look at Sister Feng, raised his wine glass to her, and played with a playful smile on the corner of his lips.

Sister Feng stared at him blankly for a moment, then her face turned cold all of a sudden, and she pulled down the curtain to isolate herself from the outside scenery.

"Girl, what's the matter?" Ping'er asked carefully.

Sister Feng picked up a book casually, and said coldly, "It's nothing."

Ping'er guessed that it was probably related to the person on the opposite side, so he was a little embarrassed, so he didn't dare to say more.

As night falls, many lights are reflected on the water surface, which complement each other with the moonlight, creating a bright light.

Ping'er came over and fiddled with the wick with the hairpin, "Girl, shouldn't it be time for a rest?"

The surroundings are quiet and silent, and the sound of wind and waves can be faintly heard.Sister Feng suddenly felt upset, "You go first, I can't sleep now."

Ping'er smiled and said: "It's the first time the girl has traveled far alone, so it's hard to fall asleep." She will be soothed by the horn and said: "Young girl also went to bed early, and the eyes were damaged by careful treatment."

After all, salute and leave.

The candle was half burned, and it was pitch black outside.Not long after Sister Feng closed her eyes, she felt that there was a noise passing across the water and reaching here in a half-dream and half-awake state.

It wasn't loud, but she was still woken up.

"Ping'er!" She sat up, "What happened outside?"

Ping'er and Lin Zhixiao's family hurried over with their clothes on.Lin Zhixiao's family said: "It seems that someone's boat has lost water. Don't worry, girl, nothing will hinder us. You can sleep peacefully."

Sister Feng was surprised and hurriedly opened the window.Sure enough, he saw a fire on the opposite side, as bright as day.The fire burned more and more intensely with the help of the wind, and gradually spread, and after a while the whole ship was ablaze.There were constant screams, the sound of help, and the sound of diving...

Other families rowed away one after another, for fear of being involved in the slightest.

Seeing a magnificent ship go up in flames, everyone sighed.Ping'er lost his mind and said: "Why did this good thing suddenly catch fire, I don't know whose ship it is, and whether anyone is still alive."

Lin Zhixiao's family sighed: "Who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen on the first night? Maybe it's because the family's servants didn't take care of the candlelight." Speaking of this, she hurriedly said, "I want to tell Qing'er Wait for someone to tell them to be careful of the candlelight!"

Sister Feng didn't say a word, but still felt uneasy. This happened so suddenly, could it just be a simple accident?

While thinking about it, there was another chaos outside, this time it happened on the Wang family's boat.

Not long after, Wang Zhixiao knocked on the door and said, "Miss."

Sister Feng asked through the door, "What happened?"

"Returning to the girl, there was a nobleman living in the boat that sailed just now. Someone set the fire on purpose, and now someone is searching for the assassin, and they happened to find our boat." Just as Sister Feng was about to speak, Wang Zhixiao quickly said, "Don't worry, girl. I explained to the man that this is the Wang family's boat, and there is only one female family member inside, and it is not appropriate for outsiders to come in. They were also reasonable, and quickly led people back."

Sister Feng said, "I know."

Wang Zhixiao said: "There is nothing to do now, the girl sleeps well, if you have something to do, you can tell the people below."

Other families were not so lucky and were searched forcibly.

Sister Feng's long willow eyebrows were twisted up, she rubbed the teacup subconsciously, and murmured softly, "First there was a big fire, then there were assassins, and now they are searching everywhere for assassins, it's really strange..."

Ping'er wondered, "Girl, what are you talking about?"

Sister Feng tightened her coat, "Those people seem to want to save the face of the Wang family and don't search us." It's not because there are female relatives living in the boat.

Ping'er smiled and said: "It's only natural, no one in the capital knows the Wang family..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a muffled groan, and there was no sound.

Sister Feng was startled suddenly, and when she turned her head, she saw Ping'er lying on the table, and behind her stood a tall figure.

Because the window was opened, the night wind came in, and the curtains and candles fluttered along with it.

The candle illuminated one side of the world, but there was darkness behind it, half of Ruyu's face was illuminated by the candlelight, and half was covered by the darkness.The luxurious purple clothes blended into the night, the expression on his face was unrecognizable, but the wicked smile on the corners of his lips was very familiar.

Sister Feng recognized him immediately, Gu Xingchi, the young master of Jing'an Houfu.

Sister Feng panicked for a moment, she pinched her palms, and slowly calmed herself down.

"In the middle of the night, Lord Hou not only broke into my boudoir, but also knocked out my maid, what do you want?" Her smile was indifferent and sarcastic.

Gu Xingchi sat down unceremoniously, with a happy expression, "It's just a place to hide in Miss Wang's room."

"Borrow?" Sister Feng squinted at him, and said with a sneer, "Didn't Master Hou plan it early in the morning?"
