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

After everything was arranged properly, Sister Feng lived in the Lin family with peace of mind.In her previous life, Sister Feng was a straightforward person, so she didn't feel uncomfortable living in the Lin family.

Lin Ruhai was in poor health and was on business. Sister Feng disturbed her as soon as she moved in. She waited patiently for a few days, and on the third day, she went to visit Lin Ruhai again.When they walked to the gate of the courtyard, they happened to meet Gu Xingchi who came out of it.At this moment, she was thinking all kinds of things, but she just nodded to him as a salute, and the two of them passed by.

There is no ice mirror in the study, but fortunately, the location is shady and cool, so it doesn't feel very stuffy.

When Sister Feng was ushered in, she saw Lin Ruhai bent over slightly, coughing lightly with her hands on her lips, and when she sensed Sister Feng's arrival, she immediately smiled and invited her to take a seat.

Sister Feng looked around indifferently, and landed on Lin Ruhai again.Perhaps because of his illness, his figure is relatively thin, but he still has clear eyebrows, elegant temperament, and a kind of literati style, he is modest and noble.A literati like Jia Zheng is nothing compared to him.

Sister Feng secretly thought, people like Lin Ruhai, with good background, good looks, outstanding knowledge and ability, must have their own way of dealing with affairs in the officialdom these years, if not so, they would not be trusted and reused by the emperor.If he hadn't passed away early in his previous life, his official career would have risen steadily, and he would most likely become a close minister of the emperor.With him around, how could it be the Jia family's turn to take over the Lin family's property and pick and choose Daiyu.Even if Jia's mother is willing, Jia Baoyu is not good enough for Daiyu, and Lin Ruhai will not like Jia Baoyu who is not willing to make progress.

Therefore, Lin Ruhai is very important to Daiyu's fate.

Lin Ruhai saw that Sister Feng was in a daze, and her face was slightly solemn, so she wanted to ask.Before he could speak, he coughed again.Startled, Sister Feng immediately came back to her senses, got up and poured him a cup of tea and handed it over.

After a while, seeing that he had stopped coughing, Sister Feng sat back down again.She asked softly: "Is Uncle Lin's body always like this? Has he ever invited a doctor?"

Lin Ruhai drank a cup of tea and felt his throat feel better. He smiled at Sister Feng and said, "It's an old problem, it's okay."

Sister Feng nodded, "Uncle Lin must take care of himself, otherwise Sister Lin will be worried."

Hearing Sister Feng mention Daiyu, Lin Ruhai's dim eyes flashed with brilliance, "Nephew has seen the little girl?"

Sister Feng deliberately directed the conversation to Daiyu, and she smiled and said, "Although I only met Sister Lin for a few times, we hit it off right away. This time she came to Jiangnan to recuperate, and she specially wrote a letter asking me to give it to you." you."

After speaking, Ping'er gave the letter to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai looked at the four characters of "Father's Invitation" on the envelope, his face was full of astonishment.He said to Sister Feng: "This...is it really written by Daiyu herself?"

Sister Feng also pretended to be surprised, "Isn't this Sister Lin's handwriting?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head, "This is indeed my little girl's handwriting, but..."

Sister Feng said, "Is there something wrong?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Ruhai said solemnly, "When did Daiyu hand over this letter to you?"

Sister Feng lowered her eyes and thought for a moment: "It was when I bid farewell to her two months ago. That is, the day before I left Beijing, she handed it to me."

She emphasized the word 'hands-on'.

Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment, and finally took out another letter, "I also received this letter two months ago, I read it carefully, and it is indeed Daiyu's own letter, and I have bothered my nephew for some reason... ..."

Sister Feng was puzzled and said, "I don't know about this either. Since Uncle Lin has doubts, I'd better open this letter and have a look."

Lin Ruhai quickly opened the letter, showing a slight panic for the first time.He looked at it quickly, his expression changed from excitement at the beginning to seriousness, and finally it turned out to be suppressed anger.His eyes fell on the signature and date behind, as if he understood something.

The writing dates of the two letters are only a few days apart, but the contents are quite different.Obviously the time is about the same, why do you write it in two parts, and avoid the people in Jia's house?Isn't this a hidden secret?

It can be seen from the letter brought by Sister Feng that Daiyu was indeed wronged.But from the person who sent the letter, it can be seen that Daiyu may not only be wronged in Jia's house, but may not be free.Lin Ruhai is so smart, after a little thought, he understood the key point.I'm afraid Daiyu asked Sister Feng to send another letter because she knew that her letter would be checked.

Sister Feng frowned and said, "Uncle Lin, is there something wrong?"

Lin Ruhai calmed down her anger, and sighed: "Daiyu must entrust you with such an important matter because she regards you as a trustworthy friend."

Sister Feng didn't know why, so she nodded hesitantly.

Lin Ruhai knew this daughter well. Daiyu had both talent and looks, and was influenced by the Lin family, so her temperament was a bit lofty.But her mind is pure and straightforward. If she really likes someone, she will treat him honestly.When she was helpless, she was the first to think of Sister Feng's help, and the relationship between the two seemed to be very good.

Thinking of this, he said again: "Since Daiyu left home, I have written letters to her several times, but it seems that there has been no reply. The only time was two months ago, but it was only superficial. That's all. As a father, he is naturally worried about his daughter, you are with her in the capital now, and you have met her, I wonder if she can tell you why?"

Sister Feng's expression was blank: "Uncle Lin has written home letters to Sister Lin several times? But I never heard her mention it. She only said that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know how you are."

With just one sentence, Lin Ruhai can be sure that Daiyu has never seen his family letter.

The people of Jia's family were so bold that they not only treated Daiyu slowly, but also seized his family letter with Daiyu.He must have done something wrong, so he didn't dare to let him know?Did they think that his health was deteriorating and that Daiyu could only rely on them for his future, so they could manipulate Daiyu unscrupulously?He is not dead yet, one by one began to calculate.

He knew that his life was not long, so he also thought of marrying Daiyu to Jia Baoyu, and he thought that the Jia family also agreed.But this does not mean that Daiyu can be bullied by others, nor does it mean that Daiyu can be put together with other girls and be picked by Jia Mu.What does it mean for cousins ​​to live together without the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, or the engagement?Since Jia's mother did this, why is there another historian girl?Not to mention, Mrs. Wang still doesn't like Daiyu, even if Mrs. Wang reluctantly agrees to Daiyu's marriage with Jia Baoyu, Daiyu will not be happy.

He knew that Jia's family was nothing more than an outward appearance, and he also knew that Jia Baoyu was only Jia Zheng's second son.He didn't expect Daiyu to live a prosperous life, and he didn't expect her to marry the son of a high-ranking official. He only hoped that she would live a safe life with no worries about food and clothing.But now it seems that it is not what he imagined at all, Daiyu clearly had a bad life in Rongguo Mansion.

That's right, even writing a letter to the family has to be sneaky, it must be under the control of others everywhere.

He was worried and angry at the same time, and coughed again in desperation.

Sister Feng hurriedly said, "Uncle Lin, do you want to find a doctor to take a look?"

Lin Ruhai waved his hand to show that he was fine.

Sister Feng was a little uneasy and said, "You have to take care of yourself, otherwise Sister Lin will be sad again."

Now Lin Ruhai's mind is full of Lin Daiyu, and hearing what Sister Feng said, he couldn't help thinking of going elsewhere.What does it mean to be sad again? Does Daiyu often feel sad alone in Jia's mansion?

"Daiyu is afraid that I will miss it, so she just said that her body is well taken care of, what does my nephew think?"

Sister Feng said softly: "The old matriarch loves sister Lin very much, and specially invited Doctor Wang to treat her, and prepared pills for her. These are precious medicinal materials, which are naturally beneficial to her condition." She seemed a little embarrassed, facing Lin Ruhai The look of hope still told the truth, "It's just that sister Lin has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she has been living in the south of the Yangtze River. When she arrives in the capital, there are always some living habits that are very different from those in the south. My sister is sensible, so people will discuss it. Corrected one by one. In addition, she was unspeakable and thoughtful, although she has been recuperating, her health is not very good."

After a long silence, Lin Ruhai finally said: "I see." His eyes flashed with sadness, and he said to Sister Feng, "I am in Yangzhou and cannot take care of Daiyu. I hope my nephew will take care of me."

Knowing that Lin Ruhai understood everything, Sister Feng said, "Uncle Lin is being polite. I also like Sister Lin very much, so I am willing to share your worries. However, I am not from Jia's family, so it is not convenient for me to go to Jia's house from time to time. Wherever you go, please forgive me."

Lin Ruhai was stunned, "I heard before, you are not..." Haven't you been engaged to Jia Lian a long time ago?

Sister Feng shook her head, there seemed to be some sadness between her brows.

After leaving the yard, Sister Feng immediately changed her expression, with an unfathomable smile in her eyes.Now that Lin Ruhai has seen the true face of the Jia family, and knows that they are plotting against the Lin family, they will definitely take some action. I am afraid that the purpose of the Jia family will be defeated.

As a woman, Sister Feng lives in the inner courtyard.She walked to the garden, stepped on the bluestone path, and looked at the colorful flowers and green pines and bamboos on both sides, feeling very comfortable.

"It seems that the girl is in a good mood. She must have said everything that should be said, and Mr. Lin has listened to everything."

When passing by a gazebo, I heard a voice coming from inside.

The voice was familiar and pleasant, Sister Feng was not surprised, she turned around and said with a smile: "Young Master, I can't understand what you're saying."

Gu Xingchi went down the steps and walked up to her.He was so close to her that he could see his long, bushy eyelashes and the blush at the end of his eyes.The handsome face with a wanton smile is like peach blossoms blooming on the branches in spring, and the breeze blows, making people want to be drunk.

Sister Feng looked at her without flinching.After a while, he suddenly laughed loudly, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand this sentence, you must be very interested in what I say next."

Sister Feng raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, could it be the whereabouts of Miracle Doctor Xia?"

"The girl is really exquisite and thoughtful." He leaned over and whispered something in her ear.

A hot and humid breath came, and she only felt a slight heat in her ears, she turned her body sideways without any trace, her expression was still calm, "Thank you, my lord."

Gu Xingchi smiled and said, "I'm also looking for him, so you don't need to thank me too much."

Sister Feng snorted lightly, "Of course I won't really thank you, it's just out of politeness. You owe me more than one favor, this is what you should do."

Gu Xingchi obviously didn't expect her to say that, his smile froze for a moment, but then became more intense. "That's what the girl said."

"However, there is still one thing I don't understand. Ms. Wang met that Ms. Lin not long ago. Why did she treat her so well and come all the way to find a miracle doctor for her father? Although it seems that you are dealing with the Jia family, but I But they don't believe it."

Sister Feng withdrew her smile, raised her eyes to look at the blue sky in the distance, with a bewildered expression, "Perhaps I owed her in my previous life, so I will do my best to repay her in this life."

Gu Xingchi frowned slightly, and for the first time realized that he couldn't see through her thoughts.

At this time, I heard her say again: "I promise you, after returning to Beijing, I will mention your matter to her. If you want, I will take you to see her."

Gu Xingchi realized who Sister Feng said 'she', and said with a smile, "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"With you staring at me, dare I disagree? You have promised not to hurt her, so why should I hide it. Besides, although she has a father in name, if things are revealed, she will not be able to protect her after all. Yes, as her friend, I naturally hope that she can survive. And you, have this ability."

Seeing his surprised expression, she continued, "I know you will be curious, I am just a young woman, how can I know such a big secret, right? Even if a few people from Jia and Wang's family know it, it is impossible for them to tell me But let me tell you, I am not the only young woman who knows this secret, there is another person who already knew it. Now she will not say it, but at critical moments she will use this secret in exchange for her own status and the glory of the Jia family. "
