The Forest of Red Mansions

On the first day of the new year, the three brothers and sisters of the Lin family went to the Dabaoen Temple early in the morning as usual.

Lin Jinyao's eyelids have been twitching since she got up early in the morning, and she became more and more flustered as she jolted on the carriage, always feeling a little bad.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped abruptly.

The three siblings were caught off guard and kowtowed their heads. Lin Daiyu and Lin Jinjun were so painful that their eyes were red instantly, and they almost shed tears.

Lin Jinyao frowned, subconsciously pulled her younger sister and younger brother closer to her, and carefully opened a corner of the curtain to look out, but her face immediately turned pale.

The carriage is surrounded!

A group of ferocious strong men holding swords, even axes, and chopping hatchets!

Every one of them is filled with a strong violent and fierce bandit spirit, one can tell at a glance that they are bandits who are used to robbing houses, killing people and taking goods, and most of them have had human lives on their hands.

Lin Jinyao's brows were almost knotted. She couldn't figure it out. Although this road was a little bit off, it was always valued by the government because noble people often went to the Dabaoen Temple to offer incense. How could there be bandits?

But now is obviously not the time to think about this, how to get out is the most urgent thing, she dare not count on those servants of Jia's mansion.

"Each... gentlemen, we are... from the Rongguo Mansion, and you have... something to say..."

The servants of the Rong Mansion are usually very rampant, but they don't want to be scared when facing this scene. All the men who are seven feet and eight feet are so frightened that their faces turn pale when they meet each other. There was that guy who was shaking like a sieve, so he sat down without a fart.

The group of bandits laughed outrageously at their wimpy appearance, mocking them to the fullest.

A middle-aged man with a big knife on his shoulder, an unusually burly physique, and a beard all over his face spat thick phlegm, and said disdainfully: "I only want the people in that car, you little bastards, get out of here quickly, go back Tell your master, the people in the car were invited by me as guests, if you want someone, bring 80 taels of silver, otherwise I will kill them with one knife!"

Unexpectedly, the servants of Jia's family, including the coachman who drove the car, would run away without saying a word, causing a burst of wanton ridicule.

As a result, there were only three brothers and sisters of the Lin family and a few maidservants left here.

The people in the carriage also heard the commotion outside, and they all turned pale and trembled. The two children, Lin Daiyu and Lin Jinjun, cuddled close to the elder sister as if they were frightened, not knowing what to do.

"elder sister……"

Lin Jinyao looked at the maidservants around her, "Which one of you can drive?" If it's really all about money, it's fine, but who knows what these villains will do to them?No matter what, you can't just sit there and wait!

Everyone shook their heads when they heard the words. Aunt Saihan and Aunt Gaowa were born in Mongolia and were good at riding horses, but they had never driven a carriage.

Hearing the approaching footsteps outside, Lin Jinyao gritted her teeth, pulled out her whip, and said, "I'm going to drive, you guys protect Dai'er and Mo'er, if..."

But at this moment, there was a sound of fighting with weapons intersecting outside.

Lin Jinyao opened the curtain and took a look, but out of nowhere, another dozen men in black appeared to fight with those gangsters.

Although the number of people in black is not as many as the bandits, one can tell at a glance that those people have undergone rigorous training, and their combat effectiveness is far superior to most of the bandits.

Cheng Yaojin came out on the way, and the gangsters were at a loss as to how to separate themselves for a while, and they couldn't care about Lin Jinyao and the others for a while.

Just when Lin Jinyao was hesitating whether to take this opportunity to try to drive the carriage and run first, another carriage came galloping in the distance, and stopped beside them in the blink of an eye, and the guards who followed drew their swords without saying a word After joining the battlefield, the battle situation immediately showed a one-sided trend, and bandits kept falling.

The curtain of the carriage next door was suddenly lifted, and a pair of dark eyes looked straight at her.

The four eyes faced each other, one pair was as dark as ink, deep and blurred, and the other pair was clear and bright, shining like stars.

So familiar yet so strange.

"Miss Lin." His voice was a little dry, revealing some indistinguishable emotions.

Lin Jinyao frowned slightly, with some doubts, "You are..."

"Fourth Master?!" Nurse Saihan beside her suddenly exclaimed.

"Fourth Master? Fourth Elder Brother?" Lin Jinyao was shocked, and subconsciously wanted to salute, but suddenly found that she was still in the carriage, and the salute was neither fish nor fowl, and she couldn't help showing embarrassment.

Seeing this, Yinzhen couldn't help but slightly curled the corners of his lips, and said, "There's no need to be too polite."

Lin Jinyao lowered her head slightly, she was speechless for a while, especially since she could still clearly feel that the other party's eyes were following her closely, greedy, hot, and disorienting, which made her feel like a light was on her back and felt uncomfortable all over her body.

Fortunately, the fight on the other side ended in a short while, and a group of gangsters were all arrested and tied up.

Seeing Lin Jinyao looking suspiciously at those men in black, and "sneaking" at him from time to time, with a pitiful look on his face that hesitated to ask but dared not ask, Yinzhen couldn't help but smile even deeper.

This girl is still so narrow-minded.

"Those people were arranged by me to protect you by your side. They are usually in the dark and won't get in the way. Just rest assured. If you have anything to do in the future, you can leave it to them."

"This...isn't it right..." Lin Jinyao opened her mouth dryly, with a troubled expression on her face.

She really doesn't want to be affectionate, but this master's performance is too misleading!

Yinzhen pondered for a while, and said: "It may indeed be inappropriate to say this now, but in order to let Miss Lin dispel some unnecessary worries, I will not hide some words."

"There are beauties, and you will never forget them. If you don't see them for a day, you will think like crazy. When the phoenix flies and soars, you will seek phoenixes from all over the world. But there are beauties who are not on the east wall. I will use the qin to express my heartfelt words. When will I see you?" Xi, comfort me when I am hesitant. May words be worthy of virtue, and hand in hand. Don't fly, let me perish."

Lin Jinyao was dumbfounded.

……

Those cowardly servants of the Jia family ran back in a frenzy. Everyone knew that they had encountered the bandits, and thought that the three children had been robbed by the bandits. They panicked in shock, and Jia's mother almost cried. fainted.

Just about to send someone to look for them, but unexpectedly, the three siblings were sent back unscathed. After careful questioning, they found out that they had just been rescued by the fourth elder brother. Thankfully, he sent the guards away, and then hugged the three siblings tightly and cried heartily.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue are angry.

But it turned out that those gangsters were the ones they were looking for, and they planned to ask someone to rob them while the three Lin siblings were on their way to Shangxiang. The cub was slaughtered, and the two girls, Lin Jinyao and Lin Daiyu, stayed in the den of thieves for so many days. If their clothes were deliberately tattered when they came out, they would be covered in mouths all over their bodies.

No matter how powerful Lin Ruhai is, no one will ask to marry a girl who has been defiled by a gang of thieves. Even if she becomes a concubine, she will be disgusted by others. At that time, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue will stand up again and say, "Mr. "Send mercy" and take them into his son's room, are you afraid that Lin Ruhai will not agree?Unless he wanted his two precious daughters to become aunts or die, then there would be no better candidates than Jia Baoyu and Xue Pan.

After all, these two are relatives of our own family, and the children can be considered childhood sweethearts when they grow up together, and the "mother-in-law" is also a real aunt and aunt. After all, it is a good place to live and die.

And in order to make her daughter less wronged, Lin Ruhai must buy more dowries for them, and even less must please Mrs. Wang and the Xue family. As long as Lin Jinyao and Lin Daiyu are in control, everything in the Lin family is theirs. stuff in the bag.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue thought very well. In fact, if the fourth master hadn't been killed halfway, their plan would have been half successful. After all, it is impossible for a few old and weak women and children to fight against a group of fierce gangsters. But by chance, a fourth master who came to save the beauty as a hero came out, but the plan fell short, and he even spent 3 taels of silver in vain!

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were so angry that their hearts ached. That was 3 taels!Even if it's half of one person, that's a full 5000 taels!
