Lin Daiyu stared at her blankly, forgetting her own thoughts for a moment.

Jiang Ling followed Lin Daiyu's gaze, and found that the color of her clothes was different, so she was also taken aback for a moment.

Lin Daiyu had a clear look in her eyes, and said softly: "I heard that my aunt had raised a charming guest in the mansion the day before yesterday, and she said that she was going to send her to the palace to accompany the elder sister. Could it be—— Do you?" She stared at Jiang Ling in a daze, as if a little unbelievable.

Jiang Ling didn't know how to explain for a moment: "Girl..."

Lin Daiyu shook her head slightly, and said clearly: "I know. Most of the concubines who enter the palace are miserable, and most of the families will pick some decent maids and send them to the palace to accompany the concubines." After she finished speaking, gently He sighed deeply, with pity in his eyes: "But I didn't expect that this person is actually you, Jiang Ling."

Jiang Ling was stunned again, just about to explain something, but found that he didn't know how to explain.What should she say, do you want to say that her body and appearance are [-]% similar to that Daotai lady?Do you want her to tell Lin Daiyu that because of this, Mrs. Wang has a froze mind and wants her to enter the palace in the name of that young lady?Lin Daiyu is still young and has a clear mind, it's better not to stain her eyes with these nasty things.

Although Lin Daiyu made a rough guess by mistake, there was still some deviation from the truth.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ling changed the subject, and said in a low voice, "It's just a coincidence, girl, don't take it to heart. But girl herself, shedding tears here late at night, didn't she encounter some difficulties?"

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced in front of Lin Daiyu, and happened to see a small pile of ashes.

Lin Daiyu froze for a moment, as if Jiang Ling had hit on her mind, her eyes slowly turned red again.

"What can I do?" She said in a low voice, "I just want to give some hand-woven handkerchiefs, fan pendants, nets and other things to comfort my parents in the underworld. Because this place is secluded, I will stay here quietly to rest my mind." When she said this, tears welled up in her eyes, as if she had really touched on something sad.

At her feet, there were still a few strands of unburned silk, which seemed to be glowing with golden light. They were probably the most exquisite gold embroidery threads that Lin Daiyu asked Jiang Ling to bring back last time.

Jiang Ling silently lowered his head when he thought of the death of Lin Daiyu's parents.

She wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

While hesitating, Lin Daiyu rubbed her eyes suddenly, forced a smile and said: "It's past Xu time. Jiang Ling, you go back, don't miss the time, and provoke your aunt to punish you." After speaking, she stood tremblingly. Standing up, leaning on the railing of the long corridor, said: "Go back."

Jiang Ling stood up and helped Lin Daiyu, and said softly, "Miss, be careful."

Lin Daiyu said it was okay, she gently pushed Jiang Ling's hand away, and walked towards Jiamu's main house, her back seemed a little sad.

Jiang Ling stood in the night wind and watched for a long time, until Lin Daiyu's figure disappeared, then she sighed, turned and went back to her room, and continued to study the ubiquitous court etiquette.But in her heart, she was vaguely wanting to do something.

She was obviously a talented woman, but she died suddenly because of a serious illness.

But Jiang Ling has nothing now, even her personal safety is in Mrs. Wang's hands, and she has not made any new progress in the last days. Even if she intends to do something for Lin Daiyu, it is just powerless.

That night, Jiang Ling went to the end of the world again, but still found nothing.

And like so many times before, she didn't even meet a living person.

Jiang Ling has been going back and forth between the end of the world and the Red Mansion for several months. Because the matter was kept secret, neither Mrs. Wang nor the nuns found her secret.These days, because of her anxiety, she stopped the phytohormone for a while, but to her surprise, her body was still becoming sweeter day by day, almost completely turned upside down from before.

The only regret is that this plant hormone can't improve the body, it can only fine-tune the facial features in vain.

Time passed slowly, and some time passed in a blink of an eye. Summer arrived, and the manor began to change into plain white.Earlier Qin Keqing died of illness, the Ningguo Mansion was in a mess, Jia Jing was busy cultivating immortals, Jia Rong became a shopkeeper, and Youshi was lying crookedly on the bed. It is said that the wind and cold entered the body, and it will not recover within three or two months. of.In such a large Ningguo Mansion, there is no one in charge, so Qin Keqing's crying, stopping, and dojo rituals were intermittent, and it was not until eight or nine months later that they slowly settled down.

However, even though the date of the funeral was fixed, the Ningguo Mansion was still full of trouble because there was no one in charge.

So the Ningguo Mansion begged Wang Xifeng, hoping that she would go to the East Mansion to take charge of things, at least after these days.

Jiang Ling has been watching these things with cold eyes, as if he has never been integrated into the life of the Red Mansion.

In August of that year, Qin Keqing's funeral ceremony kicked off with great power.

Jiang Ling is still the same, she works as a decoration in the house every day, memorizes the palace rules, and practices court etiquette, as if this matter has nothing to do with her.But on the second day of the funeral, Mrs. Wang suddenly asked Jiang Ling to change into a servant girl's attire, and took her to the mourning hall together.

This is a strange thing.

Ever since Mrs. Wang set up the strategy of Li Daitao stiffening last winter, Jiang Ling has never had a day off.During the day, she would be under Mrs. Wang's watchful eye, in front of her maid, while silently reciting the ancient lady's boudoir news; in the evening, she would no longer be a maid, but the two nuns would fight together, Teaching her court etiquette and the system of waiting for election is not even half a moment idle.

So now, Mrs. Wang has dressed her up in the daytime, and it is a great miracle to go outside to meet people.

However, Jiang Ling remained silent and silent as usual, bringing her acting skills to the extreme.

She followed Mrs. Wang, got into the carriage, and drove to the suburbs rumblingly.

Sheds have already been set up in the outskirts, and the dojo rituals have been set up. When Qin Keqing's coffin arrives here, the road sacrifice can be set up.In the shed, apart from the female family members of Jia's mansion, there were also several princesses and wives who had good friends with Rongguo Mansion, and some official ladies who were the same age as the girls of Jia's mansion.As soon as Jiang Ling got there, she automatically and consciously stood behind Mrs. Wang, silent.

Besides her, there were three other girls and two cousin girls in Jia's mansion, and they all followed Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing, gossiping with those official ladies, and weeping sadly from time to time. Talk about nostalgia and emotion.

Lin Daiyu secretly glanced here a few times, as if a little surprised, but it was inconvenient to speak.

Mrs. Wang saw Lin Daiyu's small movements, and said with a smile: "Look, Daiyu, does the girl look familiar?"

Lin Daiyu was stunned and didn't know how to interface for a while.

Said she knew Jiang Ling?But Jiang Ling's clothes now are obviously very different from those in the past.

Said she didn't know Jiang Ling?But looking at Mrs. Wang's meaning, it doesn't seem like she is denying it...

In the midst of a dilemma, suddenly Jia Yingchun gave a soft click, pointed at Jiang Ling and said, "This girl looks familiar."

All of a sudden, the three girls from Jia's mansion looked over, and they all said that Jiang Ling looked familiar, but they couldn't remember where they met each other.Xue Baochai, the only one who had never seen Jiang Ling, stood there quietly with only her handkerchief in her hand, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Mrs. Wang grabbed Jiang Ling's wrist, led her to the three Jia girls, and said with a smile: "This is the girl from the Daotai family that I told you before. But when Qing is newly mourned, she will just follow her." I'll give her a gift as a token of gratitude."

The three girls from Jia's mansion suddenly realized, only Lin Daiyu was stunned for a moment, and moved her lips slightly.

Mrs. Wang laughed again and said: "And by coincidence, Miss Yunling (Jiang Ling's pseudonym) looks somewhat similar to a maid who once served Daiyu. Daiyu, do you look alike? There are also mandarin ducks and pearls, look at them, do they look like them?"

Lin Daiyu was still stunned, Yuanyang and Pearl looked at each other, Pearl hesitated and said: "At first glance, they look a little similar...but when you look closely, they don't look the same again. Compared with Jiang Ling, this girl is a One in the sky and one underground."

—Of course not.

Jiang Ling sighed.Not to mention that she looks somewhat similar to last year, even if she has completely changed, Yuanyang and Pearl will only repeat "one is in the sky, the other is in the ground", and they will definitely not violate Mrs. Wang's hint.

Lin Daiyu glanced over from a distance, and there seemed to be some pity in her eyes.

Jiang Ling smiled wryly.I am afraid that in Lin Daiyu's eyes, she is still that little maid who can't help herself.Just as she was ignoring it, she suddenly heard a soft "Huh" from outside:

"I seem to have seen this girl before."

Jiang Ling froze for a moment, followed the source of the voice, and found that it was a woman in a flag dress, about 27 or [-] years old, who looked familiar.She thought about it carefully, and recognized that this was the Fujin whom she accidentally met in the embroidery room last time.

When Mrs. Wang saw this person, her face suddenly turned pale, but soon returned to normal.She stepped forward, bowed to that Fujin, and said with a smile, "Greetings to Princess Yu. Has Princess Yu also met Miss Yunling?" It's troublesome.

Fortunately, Prince Yu shook her head and said, "Which lady?... I just went to the embroidery room to get a fan in seven or eight months ago, and I met a girl who looked similar to her. Well, that girl seems to be The maids in the Rongguo Mansion look thin and small, and they vaguely look like this girl. But if you look closely, the similarities are less."

Mrs. Wang's face turned blue suddenly, she turned her head again, and secretly gouged Jiang Ling out.

Jiang Ling was still in the shock of the word "Princess Yu", and had no time to care about Mrs. Wang's sharp eyes.In her impression, Prince Yu should be Kangxi's second elder brother Fuquan, so Princess Yu should be Fuquan's Fujin.In this world, there are Jia Mansion and Emperor Kangxi, Fengzao Palace Yuanfei and Yuqin Princess, what a mess of words.

Mrs. Wang and Princess Yu laughed together and said: "The princess really has good eyesight. There is indeed a servant girl in the Rongguo Mansion who looks somewhat similar to this girl. I think it was her that the princess saw that day. Ling'er come over, Greetings to Princess Yu."

Jiang Ling walked over with a low eyebrow, said hello to Princess Yu, then stood quietly aside again, no longer talking.
