"Ayu, do you still remember that when I entered the palace, the second wife gave me four children from my family as my dowry?" Jiang Ling had to be patient, and said earnestly, "But at that time, I They were all declined, and they were not allowed to come close. Ayu, do you know what these children are for in the eyes of the second wife?"

Lin Daiyu stared at her blankly, unable to react.

Jiang Ling sighed secretly, and said in a low voice, "Ayu, think of Miss Ping'er in Second Grandma Lian's room."

Lin Daiyu suddenly clenched the veil tightly, with a startled expression: "How is this possible? The snow geese, Zijuan, and the maidservants in the prince's house have never woken up. Thoughts like this. The prince also said that he doesn’t like maidservants, and the two dowry maids that the concubine married back then were also married together. How... How is this possible? Ah Ling, you are not mistaken stop."

Still looks unbelievable.

Jiang Ling smiled wryly and said: "Okay, even if I made a mistake. Think about it for yourself, Ayu, what they said and did after they entered the palace. Listen to their words and watch their actions, you can always see Get some clues? Unless—you've never really run a house."

Lin Daiyu was startled, and after a while, a look of annoyance gradually appeared on her face.

"You're right..." Lin Daiyu murmured, "It's true. After they came to the palace, they did everything possible to attract the attention of the prince, but because the prince doesn't like to talk to them, it's okay for them to serve me I did my best, so I didn't think about it elsewhere. Oh, there is another one who is not very outstanding. He has married the housekeeper after only three months in the palace. In front of the prince and the concubine, he also said slowly It's time to talk. When the prince wanted to send them to the kitchen earlier, I still wanted to stop them, but now that I think about it, the prince can see clearly. A Ling, tell me, what should I do? "

Jiang Ling was silent for a moment, then said: "In that case, you should listen to your prince."

Lin Daiyu looked at her quietly for a moment, thought for a while, and finally nodded slightly.

"You are right. When I first married the prince, people from the Rongguo Mansion would come to visit every day. I am not used to it. Everything was arranged by the prince. And the people in my hometown in Suzhou were all managed by the prince. Ah Ling, do you still remember that when you were still in Yangzhou that day, the lord once clipped a page of paper in my letter and sent it to you? At that time, the Rongguo Mansion was in a mess, and even my aunt's family , all want to follow the way of the prince, Miss Baochai, oh, it is the second grandmother of Bao, and she also wants me to talk about the prince and help their Xue family. There are many twists and turns, and I have no interest. Second Grandma Bao persuaded me a few times, but I didn't respond, so I gave up. If it weren't for the prince by my side, I'm afraid I'd be in a hurry, and I wouldn't be able to tell east, west, south, north."

Jiang Ling patted the back of Lin Daiyu's hand lightly, as if to comfort her.

Lin Daiyu forced a smile again, and her voice became lower and lower: "At that time, Grand Concubine Nan'an did not allow marriage, and it was the prince who mediated among them, so she asked the concubine to come out and calm down the anger of Grand Concubine Nan'an. Calculating one by one carefully, I was actually ignorant and avoided several disasters. Ah Ling, why are people's hearts so complicated in this world? Can it be simpler? Miss Baochai once told me in the garden that I am an anomaly if I don’t worry about everything. I, I really don’t know what is the thing in this world. Right, what's wrong."

Jiang Ling called "Ayu" in a low voice.

"You don't want to comfort me." Lin Daiyu suddenly smiled and said, "I am so lucky to have a husband like the prince, so that I will not be lonely all my life. The day before I got married, I dreamed about my father Mother, they all said that they would feel at ease if they handed me over to the prince. I believe in father and mother. Ah Ling, I am really tired now. I don’t want to do anything about Rongguo Mansion Just ignore it, after serving my grandmother until she dies, she will live a peaceful life with the prince, and don't think about anything else."

As for the kindness and resentment in the past, it has nothing to do with her.

Jiang Ling was startled, and asked softly, "Have you really decided?"

Lin Daiyu hummed lightly, and said with a wry smile: "I'm really tired. A Ling, I know that for a long time before, you gave Xueyan money to help some girls in the mansion. You leave After that, I also helped some, but I really couldn't help with more things. You don't know, Ah Ling, the eldest uncle and the second aunt's natal family have been trying to persuade me to send the second girl and the fourth girl together. I took it to the palace and said something like 'the big guys grew up together, so it would be good to help out'. Another time, when Prince Nan'an's son came to visit, he directly handed over a post and wanted to get in the way. I... ...I don't understand these things, and the prince didn't like their behavior, so he resigned."

When Jiang Ling heard this, he couldn't help thinking to himself, so many things happened in the capital during the southern tour.

Lin Daiyu continued: "Do you still remember Miss Baoqin and Miss Xiangyun? At the beginning, Miss Baoqin was in a hurry to discuss marriage with Mei Hanlin's family, which made the boss of the Xue family unhappy. Originally, the uncle of the Xue family was not The marriage was agreed, but for some reason, she was sent to prison suddenly, and the matter was considered settled. After Miss Xiangyun returned to the Shijia, it was said that her life was not very good, and she wanted to live in the garden. After I got married, the garden The house was a little empty, and my grandmother was seriously ill, so Miss Xiangyun was allowed to live in. Now the mansion also said that they wanted to arrange the marriage of Miss Xiangyun properly before the grandmother passed away, so that Aunt Shijia (Jia Mother's kindness."

When Lin Daiyu said this, she took a deep breath, her eyes turned red again.

"I really don't know what they want to do now. Ever since the second master Lian came back from Jinling, the whole family has become a little strange. The second aunt forced the second master Bao to take the imperial examination. The second grandmother also persuaded her from the side, but it was still of no avail. When I went back to Rongguo Mansion to visit my grandmother, I heard them say: "This title should have been inherited by the eldest family. Even if the tree is about to fall now, the mansion will do everything. It’s a deficit, but the word Rongguo Mansion is still alive, the sky won’t fall. The second wife wants to take advantage of her daughter’s reputation in the palace to take care of her precious lump, it’s useless!’ When I heard this, I was stunned for a long time. "

Jiang Ling was dumbfounded.

It turns out that the drama in the Rongguo Mansion has risen to a title battle?

When Lin Daiyu said this, she suddenly wiped away her tears, and said with a smile: "Usually, I would not say these things to others, even the prince would not dare to mention them. I just mentioned a few words when I saw you today. Ah Ling, do you know that when I go back to the Grand View Garden, I usually leave after an afternoon, and I dare not spend the night in the garden at all. Although I lived in the garden for a long time a few years ago."

Jiang Ling called Ayu in a low voice, and said, "Then you now..."

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "I, now I just have to go back to see my grandmother every day, and then live a good life with the prince. Ah Ling, you should be more careful in the palace. I have heard those princesses mention that in the past, this There have been many disgraceful incidents in the East and West Sixth Palaces, but they all disappeared afterwards. Life here will definitely not be more stable than in Rongguo Mansion."

Jiang Ling was startled, and asked tentatively, "Something disgraceful?"

Lin Daiyu hummed lightly, and continued: "It is said that it started from the generation of the Empress Dowager. I didn't dare to ask in detail what happened during that time, but I heard from them that for decades, the palace It was all bloody and bloody. If there is no family background to support it, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive the first day. But even if there is a family background to support it, there are still many concubines who died after suffering for three to five years. "

Lin Daiyu didn't dare to think about how hideous the four characters of bloody wind and rain are.

Jiang Ling squeezed the teacup, smiled lightly, and said in a low voice, "Is it bloody?"

She doesn't really want to leave now.

Holding the teacup and taking a sip to hide her expression, Jiang Ling closed her eyes and listened to Lin Daiyu whispering in her ear: "No matter what, life must go on day by day. Ah Ling, just now I From the Empress Dowager, I heard that you are in poor health and need to stay in the house to recuperate. Therefore, in the past few months, I will use the name of meeting the Empress Dowager to talk to you. I went to ask, but they refused to say, what's wrong with you. A Ling, I look at you, don't you look sick?"

Jiang Ling was startled, and whispered to himself: "I'm not feeling well?..."

What was going on with her body, I couldn't be more clear about it.Since I was strengthened by hormones three or four years ago, my body has far surpassed that of ordinary people. Let alone a headache, even if I fell off the carriage, I can return to normal in two or three months. look.The so-called "something is not good" should be an excuse from the Empress Dowager.

But I don't know why they use such an excuse.

Jiang Ling thought for a moment, and decided to wait until nightfall tonight, and then go to Lagu Su Ma's dream to ask her.Although I dare not provoke the Empress Dowager, I can still do it by asking Lagu Su Ma.As long as you are careful in your dreams, most likely you won't show your horse's feet.

After making up his mind, Jiang Ling answered vaguely and dismissed the matter.

Lin Daiyu looked at the window in the corner, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, I should go back to the mansion. Just before entering the palace, the prince sent a carriage to pick me up, don't wait until the palace gate is locked." After saying that, he stood up and said goodbye to Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling got up and wanted to see him off, but Lin Daiyu refused for a while, then smiled and accepted.Jiang Ling took the two nuns beside her, and Lin Daiyu also took the two maidservants who followed from the palace, and walked along the long palace road towards the gate of the city.The carriage of Prince Jing's Mansion stopped in front of the inner city, and Jiang Ling sent Lin Daiyu to the car before heading back to the mansion.

It was indeed getting late, and the sky had begun to slowly darken.

There were some sporadic snowflakes in the air, and all the dead leaves on the branches had fallen. They were bare, which was very different from the scenery in the south.Jiang Ling looked at the dead branches and falling snow for a while, and for some reason, suddenly became more interested.

"My lord." A nanny advised nervously, "My lord, you should go back to the house earlier, it's freezing cold here."

"Yes, my lord." Another nanny also persuaded, "If you catch cold, then it's not right."

Jiang Ling smiled, saying that it didn't matter, and still walked slowly towards the palace of the Empress Dowager.The two nuns looked at each other, and they both saw anxious expressions in each other's eyes.Just as he was about to go forward to persuade him, suddenly a person hurried up in front of him, almost bumping into Jiang Ling head-on.

It's Baoqin.
