Daiyu of the Red Chamber owes no one

The Lin family is about to enter Yangzhou City, and Lin Da brought his servants to pick him up.Lin Ruhai saw that Li Han was also in the crowd. Compared with when he was rescued from outside Jinling City, Lin Ruhai had grown taller and stronger, with a straight back, and he looked more heroic.

Lin Ruhai, who was riding on the horse, hurried over to pay respects, took the reins and walked towards the Yanyun Yamen.Although Lin Ruhai never regarded Li Han as a servant, whenever Li Han was free, he always loved to stay by Lin Ruhai's side and do the things that his long-term follower should do. Later, Lin Ruhai felt that the child's heart of repaying kindness was rare, so he ignored him .

Simply speaking, Li Han did not go to Suzhou with the Lin family, but went to Jinling alone.Before leaving, Li Han reported to Lin Ruhai that after he arrived in Jinling, he would be taken care of by Grandpa Li for several years.Now that I have been rescued by the master, I not only have enough food and clothing, but also read books, but I must not forget that Grandpa Li also saved my life.These days, the money and things that the master rewarded me are also being saved, and I want to go back to Jinling when the master is in Suzhou, and also buy some rice noodles with Grandpa Li and the poor and humble friends at the beginning, so that everyone can have a good time.After hearing this, Lin Ruhai praised him for not forgetting the original, and added a sum of money, so that someone bought winter clothes, food and rice, and sent someone to send it with Li Han, just to help the poor.Therefore, Li Han has just returned from Jinling, and he only arrived in Yangzhou two days before the Lin family and his party.

After arriving home, Jia Min and the others got out of the car. The house had already been tidied up, but the various gifts and instruments brought back from Suzhou should be put into storage, and should be sent to various locations.

This end has not been settled yet, and the manager at the other end came to report a letter from the north and a gift.Since Lin Ruhai and his wife found out that Jia Wang's family and Zhen Yingjia were colluding to assassinate the Lin family, Jia Min inevitably lost contact with Bei Bian'er. Except for giving gifts as usual on the third festival and two birthdays, so as not to be talked about, Jia Min rarely wrote about the Lin family. thing.It's a congratulatory gift of human kindness. Although in order to avoid making troubles and startling snakes, Jia Min's heart is far away from her mother's family.

Although Jia's mother didn't know, she always came in and asked Daiyu and Lin Zhen's recent situation every time she sent a letter. Mrs. Wang also acted as if she had nothing to do, keeping a close distance from the Lin family.When Jia Min read the letter this time, it was He Daiyu's birthday gift from the north, and the gifts from Jiamu to Wang Xifeng were all one or two cents heavier than in previous years.Although it was said that it was to celebrate Daiyu's birthday, Lin Ruhai, Jia Min, and Lin Zhen all had gifts.

Mother Jia mentioned again how much Concubine Zhen valued Yuanchun, and said that in the future, she would give Yuanchun to whomever she saw to be a good fortune. Yuanchun's future would definitely be excellent.With Yuanchun taking care of her, Baoyu naturally has great fortune, and Baoyu's character is very good-looking. He has lived for decades, and he has never seen a better child than Baoyu.In short, the eloquent article is nothing more than how good Baoyu is and how suitable it is for Daiyu. Since it is a well-known family, it is better to make an early decision.Jia Min was very bored by reading it, so she had to write a pen to refuse.

After a few days, Lin Zhen became a little sleepy again.Ever since Brother Rong got sick last time, the whole Lin family was frightened and did not dare to delay. They hurriedly invited several well-known doctors in Yangzhou for a consultation. The doctor only said that it was Spring Plague.But Lin Feng took several doses of medicine, but he didn't get better.Jia Min was in a hurry all day long, and secretly checked the girls and women around Lin Feng, and they were all right, and there was really nothing wrong with it.

Since the last time Daiyu cured Lin Feng's poison with a drop of tears, she wondered if her tears could cure the disease?So she quietly dripped tears into the tea and coaxed Lin Rong to drink it, and Lin Rong really got better every day.It's just that within two days, Lin Feng became a little mentally ill again.Since Lin Zheng’s illness, Daiyu has carefully recorded what she ate and drank every day, and what she was stubborn about. When she was looking through it today, Daiyu found that after Lin Zheng recovered from her illness, she drank the tribute rose dew sent by Beibianer once. .

Holding the list she made in her hand, Daiyu was stunned for a long time. If there was something wrong with the rose dew and her family ate it all, wouldn't the whole family be poisoned?No matter who did it, this person is too cruel.

After hesitating for a long time, Daiyu only quietly informed Lin Ruhai of everything she had found out.When Lin Ruhai heard this, she was very angry, and asked a reliable doctor to test it. This bottle of rose dew contained a small amount of mercury.Mercury is extracted from cinnabar, and taking a small amount of it can cause chronic poisoning. If one is not checked, it is easy to be misdiagnosed as a common disease.A wealthy family like the Lin family dismissed my aunt again, who would have thought of these infernal affairs, and brother Ling's poisoning was so shallow that the doctors didn't notice it.But if you take it a few times, it will be found out. After detoxification, it will also damage the brain. I'm afraid that in the future, Brother Ling will be unresponsive.

When I checked the gift list again, this bottle of rose dew was sent by Jiamu, and it was written on the gift list for brother Reng.Last time when we found out about Jia Wang's and Zhen Yingjia's affairs, although Jia Min kept silent, Lin Ruhai and Daiyu were not unaware of it.This time, after passing through Jia's mother's hand again, Jia Min would be even more sad when she learned that, so both father and daughter decided to hide Jia Min for the time being.

Lin Ruhai stared at Daiyu for a while, his daughter was too smart and thoughtful, even better than an adult, no wonder Mr. Liu made an exception to take her under his family.It is said that Mr. Liu not only taught Daiyu the Four Books and Five Classics, but also the art of war and tactics.Thanks to Mr. Liu for accepting Daiyu as an apprentice, Lin Ruhai only thought that Daiyu was very talented, even if he showed intelligence that was not suitable for his age. Doubt others.Lin Ruhai saw that Daiyu was so intelligent, so he stopped hiding from her what he had found out before, and told Daiyu one by one the other news he had heard and found in Zhen's mansion.Although Daiyu had been suspicious of the Zhen family for a long time, when she really heard the conversation between Zhen Yingjia and his wife, she was also full of anger.

At the end, Lin Ruhai said to Daiyu: "Yu'er, do you think your grandmother knew about the rose dew or not?" Daiyu thought about her previous life, although her grandmother knew that the Jia family was greedy for the money of the Mo Lin family but pretended not to know it, she still felt that it was true. Mother Jia would not be involved in planning this matter, so Daiyu shook her head.

Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "Father also feels the same way. It's just that our family is pretending not to know more, and your second aunt and Zhen's family are making tricks again and again. Father must find a way to deal with them."

Daiyu thought to herself: Li Han was rescued by King Zhongshun in his previous life, and later he became the arm of King Zhongshun. Because of military power.Li Han is a loyal person, since his father saved him in this life, he must be wholeheartedly devoted to the Lin family, more reliable than anyone else.It's better to leave this matter to him. If it is done well, the father will value him more and more. Wouldn't it be good for both?

So Daiyu replied: "Father, just now I heard you say that robbers are very powerful in the eight foreign trades, but I am afraid that there may be unreliable times when collecting money to do things. The elder brother of the Li family who lives in our house has been among beggars for several years. He said that Grandpa Li had passed on his skills, and my father asked whether beggars also have organizations similar to robbery? Since Li’s elder brother was in Jinling before and after the Yuan Dynasty, I’m afraid that if you let him go, you can get some information.” Because Lin Ruhai treated Li Han as his nephew, Daiyu's siblings all called him Li's elder brother.

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai realized that it made sense, so the father and daughter discussed the meeting and asked General Lin Li Han to find him.Li Han had been among beggars for several years, and Daiyu guessed right, but beggars are also a quack organization.Because beggars are all over the place, the news is the most well-informed, and some beggars organize to collect and resell news. Grandpa Li happens to be the leader of the Jiangnan generation.

Li Han is the talent of a general, and he is extremely sensitive. Although Lin Ruhai didn't explain the reason to him in detail, he also guessed a thing or two from Brother Rong's illness.Obtaining Lin Ruhai's order, he set out for Jinling to find Grandpa Li on the same day, and asked the Jia family's gift-giver which route he took after arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, and who he had met.

The results of the investigation were surprising: because the family of Jia’s old relative, Zhen’s family, and the family of Xue, married to the sister of Jia’s second wife, were both in Jinling, the gift-giving servants of Jia’s family went to Jinling first, and then Yangzhou.After putting the aunt's house of the direct relatives into the house of the sister-in-law's sister, the rules of the servant of the Jia family are really good!Moreover, the mother-in-law of Jia's family not only went to Zhen's house first, but also stayed at Zhen's house for one night.

Because Lin Ruhai and his daughter were investigating the matter in secret, a screen was set up in Lin Ruhai's study. When Li Han came to have an affair, Dai Yu sat behind the screen, and Dai Yu could understand.Since Mrs. Wang is in charge of Jia's residence, it's not surprising that Daiyu went to Xue's house first to give gifts. Daiyu thought for a while and asked, "Who is it that is going to Zhen's house from Jia's residence to give gifts?"

Li Han was startled when he heard a girl's crisp voice from outside, but he knew that the master had a daughter under his lap, she was the most intelligent, although he had never seen it before, he was afraid that behind the screen was the master's daughter.So I went back: "Master Hui, Miss, besides the women who came to our house, there is also a woman whose husband's family name is Zhou. Come to our house and go all the way to Xue’s house, a rich merchant in Jinling.”

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai knew in her heart that the woman whose husband's family name was Zhou must belong to Zhou Rui's family and a confidant of Jia Wang's family.Since the Jia Wang family and Jia Min have always been at odds, such an arrangement is reasonable, but why did Daiyu only ask about this matter?

After hearing this, Daiyu understood that the previous Jia family sent to pick her up were just a few third-class servants, and it was a big deal for Zhou Rui's family to come to pick her up in person, Madam Wang must have something in mind.Daiyu thought for a while, and said from behind the screen: "Father, I saw that the bottle of rose dew was sealed with a light yellow signature, and it was a tribute from the palace. I am afraid that only the imperial concubine Zhen has it. Come to our house? So I figured out that Concubine Zhen probably gave it to Sister Yuanchun, and Sister Yuanchun honored her grandmother. Grandmother gave it to brother Reng, perhaps out of pure love for Reng. There is a problem in the palace, or it is only a problem when it is sent to our house, but it is different."

Lin Ruhai is also an agile person, so he naturally knew that if there was a problem in the palace, this dew was aimed at Concubine Zhen, and if there was a problem with the bottle for the Lin family alone, it was aimed at the Lin family.Is there a problem in the palace, how to check it now?

So Lin Ruhai said: "Yu'er is right, but it's not easy for us to check what happened in the palace."

But Daiyu said crisply: "That's not necessarily the case." Lin Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, then clapped her hands and praised: "Yu'er is really smart!"
