[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] The heroine comes from the last days

There was no sound inside for a while.

After a long time, Jia Yuanchun said in a low voice: "...well, I understand, go back and tell mother, I will do what she wants."

The strange voice sighed softly, followed by the sound of small footsteps, a woman in her 30s was sent out by holding the piano, with a long face and crescent eyebrows, but her appearance was extremely strange, at least Jiang Ling I haven't seen her in Rongguo Mansion.After the woman had gone far away, she returned to the palace holding the piano, went to Jia Yuanchun's bed, and softly called the eldest girl.

Jia Yuanchun looked haggard, but he still smiled and said, "Go back and rest. My son was beaten with a board just now, and his body is still weak. I have the two of them in front of me, which is enough." The two little maids who were sent to the palace.

Baoqin thanked the girl, but did not leave. Instead, she walked to Jia Yuanchun's bed and lowered her voice, "What do you think, girl?"

Jia Yuanchun smiled, but the smile was a bit bitter: "What do you think, you have seen the situation just now, and she has also seen it. I am struggling in this palace, and now I am still restrained. I can't even leave this room. Go out. My mother has thought a lot about me, but don't the three girls have complaints in their hearts? Miss Baoqin has chosen the opportunity to pick herself out, so what will happen to the remaining two girls?"

Baoqin was stunned for a moment, and persuaded: "Girl..."

Jia Yuanchun shook his head and said: "I know what you want to say. Mother is right. I have no one to use in this palace. If they enter the palace, it will indeed relieve my urgent needs and help the government. , the Jia family, the Wang family, the Xue family, and the historians can all take a breather. The historians have always been hidden in this lawsuit, so whether Xiangyun enters the palace or not will not do them any harm, but it will not do any good either. With King Xue’s family, even if I mediate in the palace, I can’t reach outside the palace.”

Baoqin was startled again, and called the girl in a low voice.

Jia Yuanchun pulled Baoqin to her, patted the back of her hand, and sighed: "I have lived in the palace all these years, and I am lonely. I only have you as a caring person. If you can't even support your body, then I will You are really a loner. Go back and rest, take care of your body first, and wait for news from the mansion before making a decision on the rest."

Baoqin responded, and told the two little maids to serve carefully, and then left.

Jia Yuanchun sighed faintly, leaned on the bed and rested for a while, and gradually fell asleep.

Jiang Ling floated down from the roof beams and walked back slowly.

There was already a drizzle outside, and the rain fell on the neck, revealing a trace of coolness.Jiang Ling raised his hand, and a tiny energy spread to all parts of his body, holding up those tiny raindrops.Although I was still walking in the rain, my body was not wet at all.

After walking two steps forward, she suddenly realized that she was lost again.

The current rain curtain completely blocked the line of sight, and the place was secluded. There were four or five trails in the surrounding area, and it was impossible to distinguish the palace in the distance, so he could only choose a road at random to go forward.Walking and walking, somehow, he came to Yipin's palace.She paused, and just about to turn a corner, she suddenly heard a crisp sound from inside, as if something like a teacup had been smashed: "What did you say?!"

It was Yipin's voice, and it was a little sharper than usual.

Jiang Ling thought for a while, then walked through the thin rain curtain, walked to the shadow of Yipin's palace, and stopped for a moment.

Yibi dropped her own lunch, she seemed to be so angry that she couldn't even eat the meal, she said coldly: "Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw, what kind of new cook, it still doesn't taste good after making it. You What you just said is the truth? The queen mother knew about the imperial doctor, but she didn’t say anything? Just for another three months, she still remains in the position of imperial concubine?”

A little maid inside responded nonchalantly, she seemed to be a maid from Jia Yuanchun's palace.

Yipin was so angry that she dropped the mirror in her hand, and cursed: "Trash!" But couldn't continue.Just as Jiang Ling was about to leave, she heard Yipin say again, "Okay, three months of confinement, then I will let her have a proper confinement for three months. Somebody, go to the imperial hospital, call our people over, let her He did some tricks in the medicinal material storehouse. I don't need to poison her to death, I just need to let her stay in the palace and be seriously ill for a year or so, that's all. Someone will take care of her for me at that time. "It seems to be very angry.

The little maid answered yes and left in a hurry.

Across a thin rain curtain, the little maid did not see Jiang Ling, and Jiang Ling couldn't see who the little maid was, but only vaguely recognized a maid from Jia Yuanchun's palace, whom she had just met this morning , but I didn't expect that it was the person Yipin placed inside.

She waited on the spot for a while, and when the little maid left, she recognized the direction again and walked to her residence.

Before entering the house, Jiang Ling withdrew that ability, soaked himself in some rainwater, and then opened the door and entered the house.

The two nuns in the room were already in a hurry. If Jiang Ling didn't come back, they would report to the Empress Dowager and go to pick him up with umbrellas.Seeing Jiang Ling coming back at this time, he hastily prepared hot water for her to take a bath, saying that it was bad for her to be exposed to the rain outside.Jiang Ling let them toss, soak in the bathtub and close his eyes to rest, recalling Jia Yuanchun's words just now.

If Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun, and Xue Baoqin really entered the palace, there would be another accident in the palace.

And according to Lin Daiyu's temperament... Jiang Ling rubbed the center of her brows, feeling a little headache.After thinking about it, she asked, "What day is it today?"

After getting the answer that it was the sixth day of the lunar new year, Jiang Ling hummed lightly, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and stopped talking.It is now the sixth day of October, and there are less than nine days before we meet on the fifteenth day of this month.Before the next meeting, she wanted to find out where the King of Beijing came from, and she also wanted to catch that little girl and ask her what kind of relationship she had with the King of Beijing.

After thinking about it, Jiang Ling fell asleep.

It was evening when she woke up, one of the nuns was warming the stove beside her, and the other was drying her hair.Jiang Ling asked about King Beijing again, and one of the nuns said: "The young master asked us to inquire about it last time, and we have already found out clearly. King Beijing Jing is the only good-natured person in Beijing. He is very talented, and he is highly valued by the emperor. Concubine Nan'an once planned to choose a princess for him, but was rejected by King Beijing, saying that she wanted to choose by herself. The population of the palace is thin, and the old princess is in the garden all year round. Resting, there are few brothers and sisters around, and because of her young age, there are no concubines around her."

Jiang Ling said unexpectedly: "Is he - still young?"

The mothers laughed and said, "Prince Beijing Jing is a man, so he can't be on the same level as the girls. In addition, the old prince passed away three years ago, and King Beijing Jing has kept his filial piety for three years and has not married yet. But I heard that Two months ago, the King of Beijing told the old concubine Ming that he had fallen in love with one, but the concubine has not expressed her opinion so far."

Jiang Ling nodded slightly, already having some ideas in his mind.

In the next eight or nine days, Jiang Ling managed to get the mothers to ask some old eunuchs whether the King of Beijing was reliable or not.At night, she tried to pull Lin Daiyu into her dream.But now Jiang Ling's ability is limited, only a radius of more than 100 meters, the distance between the Forbidden City and the Grand View Garden is far beyond the limit, so there has been no result.

On the fifteenth day of the month, Jiang Ling followed the agreement and went to the Buddhist temple on the outskirts of the city.

The autumn rain that lasted for more than ten days finally stopped. Although the sky was still cloudy, the ground was completely dry.Jiang Ling left the palace this time under the guise of going to the Buddhist temple to fulfill his vows, so he had to stay with the eminent monks for more than two hours before seeing Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu was still the same as last time, making tea and composing poems in the wing room, occasionally looking outside, waiting for Jiang Ling's arrival.

Jiang Ling didn't hesitate this time, after entering the room, he politely invited Xueyan out, then took Lin Daiyu's hand, walked to a corner, put it in her ear, and recounted the conversation between Jia Yuanchun and Baoqin. , repeating it in detail.

After hearing those words, Lin Daiyu turned pale with shock, and asked repeatedly: "Is this true? The mansion really wants me to..."

Jiang Ling raised an index finger to her lips to signal her to keep silent, then lowered her voice and asked, "You've been in the Grand View Garden these days, have you heard any rumors? Since they were able to deliver the news to the noble concubine, what is the matter?" Most likely it won't be fake."

Lin Daiyu was so anxious that she almost cried, "I, I don't know either."

Jiang Ling hugged her, then carefully lifted her with a handkerchief to wipe away tears, and said softly: "Don't worry, speak slowly. But you have to tell me first whether you want to enter the palace or not. , these days, especially this half month, is there any movement in the garden?"

Lin Daiyu shook her head like a wave drum: "Of course I don't want to enter the palace. What's so good about being in the palace?" Suddenly she remembered that Jiang Ling was in the palace, so she stopped talking and said with red eyes: "A Ling, I don't mean anything else, I just, just..."

Jiang Ling comforted in a soft voice: "Don't worry, talk slowly one by one."

Lin Daiyu nodded, her eyes were red, like a frightened little rabbit: "I don't know much about the things in the garden. For the past half month, I have been writing poems, and I have been writing poems in the poetry club together." They played and didn't find anything unusual. Oh, my aunt gave me some small gifts, and called me over to ask some questions, but those words were common and nothing unusual. And my grandmother Well, my grandmother has always loved me the most, how could she send me to that kind of place... Ah Ling, I, I don't mean that."

Jiang Ling smiled, patted Lin Daiyu's shoulder lightly, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, just keep talking."

Lin Daiyu nodded, and continued: "Then there is the matter of Miss Baoqin. I heard from Sister Baochai that Miss Baoqin was indeed in a hurry to discuss marriage in the past two months, and she should be with Mei Hanlin—say first. Make a decision on the person, and we will talk about other things later. As for Xiangyun, she has already returned home, and I haven't seen her for a long time. Besides, Xiangyun's father and I are no longer in office, so why are we waiting for election? Woolen cloth?"

And not only is he not in office, but he is already... gone.

Thinking of her late father, Lin Daiyu's eyes turned red again, and there was some crying sound in her voice: "Unless you enter the palace in the name of Rongguo Mansion, it can be regarded as justified. But, but I really don't want to enter the palace." She said When I got here, I suddenly seemed to think of something, and said in surprise: "By the way, I was in the garden a few days ago, and I heard the maids discuss that something happened to Xue's family in Jinling. Could it be related to this matter?"

Jiang Ling was startled.

Lin Daiyu looked around and saw that there was no one else. Xueyan had just been sent away by Jiang Ling, so she clung to Jiang Ling's ear and whispered: "Xue's family is an imperial merchant. But half a year ago, for some reason, there was a problem with a batch of brocade, saying that the books were not fair, so the Xue family sent people to Jinling to borrow some money from the salt merchants. But who would have thought that once the money was borrowed, it would be Borrowed to Suzhou. The salt merchants in Suzhou didn’t care about this. They took out the money and stuck the Xue family’s neck and said, if the money is not paid, then use the name of the imperial merchant to pay for it. From now on, the private salt will become the official salt. , all the consequences will be borne by the Xue family."

Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that there was such a secret in it.

Lin Daiyu looked around again, and then said: "I also heard it by accident. Because my late father was once the inspector of salt in Yangzhou, so I know a little about these things. As for Suzhou, it is also because my late father's My family, I asked Sister Baochai a few more questions. As for the others, I don't know much about it."

Jiang Ling rubbed his temples, feeling a dull pain in his brain.

But she came here today to deal with this matter.Now that Lin Daiyu already knows, Mrs. Wang should be a little wary when she brings up this matter in the future.Jiang Ling thought for a while, then whispered: "Ayu, I'll ask you another question, and you have to answer me honestly."

Lin Daiyu hummed lightly, with tears still in her eyes: "A Ling, you can ask."

Jiang Ling thought for a moment, picked a less sharp angle, and said softly: "In the letter you sent me earlier, you mentioned the King of Beijing many times. The last time I came here to see you, it was the King of Beijing who picked you up. I went back. Ah Yu, didn’t you—”

Lin Daiyu didn't expect her to be so straightforward, she screamed, and covered her mouth lightly, but her eyes were flying around.

Jiang Ling coughed lightly, took Lin Daiyu's hand off, and said softly: "I asked the old man in the palace, King Beijing Jing is indeed a good-natured man, if Ayu you--"

Lin Daiyu stomped her feet lightly, annoyed: "What nonsense are you talking about!" But she was a little shy.

Jiang Ling carefully looked at her expression and knew that the matter was probably true, so she said in a low voice: "I'm not messing around. Ayu, since you don't want to enter the palace, then I will use some means in the palace to try to get you But what happens after the name is erased? If the second wife really made up her mind to put you on the roster, then the follow-up matter will never end so easily. If you and him are both right If the other party is interested, then you might as well set the date earlier, and it will be better to have long nights and dreams in the future."

Lin Daiyu's eyes were still red, but her tone was no longer so urgent: "I..."

"Ayu." Jiang Ling sighed, and said persuasively: "I know you are shy about this, but now is not the time to be shy. Ayu, give me a rule. If you have something in mind, I will try my best. Prince Jing, I can't let you suffer anyway. But you'd better move out of that garden earlier. The sooner you move out, the sooner I can feel at ease."

Lin Daiyu muttered: "I, I..."

Jiang Ling still looked at her with a smile, but did not urge her.

Lin Daiyu murmured for a long time before whispering: "He asked his mother-in-law, but there is still no response. Besides, my father has passed away, and now I am like a duckweed without roots. Even if I think about it... I can't..." After she finished speaking, the pronunciation of the words was already a little vague.

Jiang Ling hugged her and asked softly, "So you are willing?"

Lin Daiyu was silent for a long time before she nodded very lightly.

Jiang Ling said in a low voice "I understand", took Lin Daiyu's hand, and led her back to the desk and sat down.

Lin Daiyu rubbed the poem draft on the table, held the teacup again, and stared at the white mist in front of her in a daze: "A Ling, I understand what you mean. But if you really erase my name, you are in the palace. Here, how will you deal with yourself? On the side of the imperial concubine, you can't justify it."

Jiang Ling smiled, and was about to say something more, when suddenly there was a light knock on the door outside.

Xueyan said outside: "Girl, King Beijing is here."

Lin Daiyu was stunned, and looked at Jiang Ling again, not knowing what to do for a moment.
