On April [-]th, Zhuang Shiyu got married, so the Zhuang family has been busy for this reason, and the girls of the Zhuang family have no intention of starting a poetry club again. Jia Baoyu’s illness has not yet fully healed, so naturally she has no intention of composing poems. Daiyu has nowhere to relieve her boredom, so she has to stay at home Flipping through books at leisure.
Lin Qingyun always has to go out for dinner these days, either this family married a daughter, or that family married a wife, and they had a baby to celebrate their birthdays.In the past, Tu Yan naturally didn't need to move around when he was alone, and he just picked a few close relatives to give gifts to him, but it was different after the big wedding. As the head of the house, as the head of the house, all the relationships that should be taken care of should be handled properly by each family.Lin Qingyun's relationship here is simple, only a relative of the Lin family, and only a few girls from the Jia family's Zhuang family. However, Tu Yan's side is more cumbersome. Get it right so you don't make a joke.
In his spare time, in response to Tu Yan's repeated pleadings, he took one of his paintings as a draft and painted an oil painting.
Tu Yan's painting is very large, although there are only two figures in it, they are in actual proportions, and the figures in the painting are of extraordinary identities, they are the two most noble people in the world - the emperor and the empress!This was the reason why Lin Qingyun was unwilling to draw at first, and she was also afraid of making a mistake. What's more, the emperor's portrait was drawn at will?However, Tu Yan was well prepared. He had obtained the emperor's permission earlier, so he came to her and said that he wanted to present this painting as a gift on New Year's Eve.
"You are lazy, and you made me work hard, and the credit is yours." Lin Qingyun thought of such a big project and had to strive for perfection, feeling very stressed.
"As the saying goes, those who can do more work, who makes Weiqing capable." Tu Yan joked, looked at the various paints in front of him, asked her some painting skills, coloring steps and other things, and said: "You paint slowly. That is, if you can’t finish painting this year, you can wait until next year, when I learn to help you.”
Lin Qingyun couldn't help laughing and said: "My lord is very smart, and he has a foundation in painting. As the saying goes, 'one knows everything'. Maybe the lord learned kung fu within a few months."
Although this is a joke, there is no doubt about Tu Yan's learning ability. She is also teaching Western Chinese, and Daiyu's learning progress is already fast, but Tuyan can learn faster than Daiyu.Probably Tuyan was more relaxed than Daiyu. In addition to his outstanding academic talent, he never flinched in practice, and often grabbed her to practice dialogue.For this reason, the red-tailed egret often jokes, saying that there are two foreign masters serving in the mansion. When they meet in the morning, they say "Gude Maoning", at noon they say "Gude Ningen", and at night they say "Gude Yiwenning". The maids find it funny She also learned it secretly, but when Aunt Wenxin was ordered by the queen to deliver things, she heard the maids saying "Gude" and asked which family's surname it was so weird.
Now that the large painting shelf has been opened and the canvas is ready, Lin Qingyun asked Tu Yan to make the draft.
"Princess." Bailu came in from the door and saw the prince painting, so he replied in a low voice: "I have sent all the things that the princess sent me, but I just saw that Miss Lin had something on her mind. When I got back from the palace, I felt a little tired, as if it had something to do with the Jia family."
Since he hadn't seen her for some time, Lin Qingyun ordered Bailu to send Daiyu some fresh melons and fruits, and by the way, to see how the Lin family's father and daughter were doing recently, but unexpectedly got the news.
Thinking about it carefully, apart from Baoyu's illness, Jia's family had nothing else to do.Maybe it was because of the damage to Shi Xiangyun's reputation?The marriage between the Shi family and the Wei family is a foregone conclusion, and Jia's mother knows that there is no way to bring it back. Two days ago, the Shi and Wei families made a small settlement. Jia's mother went for a trip by herself. A match made in heaven and other words.When outsiders saw this, they questioned the remarks of the first two family members.Taking advantage of Baoyu's improvement, Jia Mu ordered people to give alms outside the city for three days, and said: "The two monks who treated Baoyu said that Baoyu should not be married early, but should be married later." good."
Upon hearing this, Madam Wang gritted her teeth in hatred.
Baoyu is a boy, so it's okay to get married later, and there are monks and Taoists' words first.Xue Baochai is different.Xue Baochai is two years older than Baoyu, if Baoyu is eighteen, Baochai is twenty, and a 20-year-old girl still does not marry, even if there is a reason behind it, people will discuss it.Outsiders may not know it, but the Jia family knows their own family affairs, that is, all relatives and friends know that the Jia family has a guest girl from the Xue family.Xue Baochai didn't know it, she was full of bitterness, but she had to support the calm and calm, but Aunt Xue loved her daughter, and went to Mrs. Wang in embarrassment to ask for an explanation.
When the Grand View Garden was built, Xue's family also gave [-] taels of silver, which is said to be borrowed, but in fact it is no different from giving for free.Why did Aunt Xue build a garden for the Jia family with [-] silver in vain?Isn't it just to find a good place for my daughter.At that time, Mrs. Wang promised to be good, so what's going on now?
Aunt Xue didn't say anything else when she entered the door, she said goodbye directly: "Sister, we can't afford to live in this house, I'll tell you today, we'll pack up our things right away, and move out tomorrow. Although our house is not as good as before, but There are also houses and shops, and it’s not that there is no place to live outside of here.”
"Sister, why bother to say this? You still don't know my heart? I value Baochai the most in my heart." Mrs. Wang hurriedly persuaded Aunt Xue to sit down. , I am in my forties. I married into Jia’s family at the age of 15. After all these years, serving my parents-in-law, managing the housework, and socializing, what do I do wrong? This is the foundation of being a daughter-in-law, and I don’t Speaking of grievances, I only have Baoyu as my lifeblood, and I am his mother, but I can't even take charge of Baoyu's marriage."
After some words, Aunt Xue's heart also softened: "It's not that I don't understand my sister's difficulties, but Baochai is a girl's family. If my sister can't make the decision, I can't let Baochai waste all these years."
"Sister, don't worry, and tell Bao girl not to think too much. I will ask my mother to decide this matter. The monk's words are not worth the mother's decree. Besides, it is only said that you can get married when you are eighteen, but if you make a decision early, you will not be able to marry." It's okay."
"Then, I'll trust my sister once more." Aunt Xue was also helpless, rumors were rampant outside, and she had to avoid the limelight.Besides, Jia's family is already a good choice for Xue's family, what's more, if they are close relatives, they both know each other's characters and temperaments, if they change someone else, she is also afraid that her daughter will suffer.Let's wait and see, if it doesn't work, let's talk about other things.
On the sixteenth, Zhuang Shiyu came out of the pavilion to put on her makeup one day in advance, and Lin Qingyun also went to add makeup.
It was still early, and when Lin Qingyun came, Daiyu had already teased the newlyweds with the girls of the Zhuang family. She went over and only asked Bailu to invite her.Waiting for Daiyu to come, she dismissed the servant girl, asked about Daiyu's recent situation, and carefully observed her expression, but she didn't find anything wrong.
Lin Qingjun simply asked directly: "The last time Bailu went to deliver things and came back to say that you are not in the right mind, but why are you worried about things?"
Daiyu laughed when she heard it: "I don't have anything to worry about, I know, it must be Zijuan who said it, and she is quick to talk." Seeing that she didn't believe it, Daiyu said: "It's nothing, it's just that Baoyu was ill last time A pair of monks and Taoists came, but it reminded me of my childhood."
Lin Qingyun's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered the original story, that couple of monks and Taoists were "human traffickers"!
Guo heard Daiyu sigh: "I was not in good health when I was young. The weak disease brought from the womb, I took medicine when I was eating, and no number of doctors prescribed it. It didn't work. When I was three years old, a monk came and wanted me to become a monk." , said that this is the only way I can recover from my illness. My parents were reluctant to part with me, not to mention that the head-hunting monk was really sloppy and crazy, so they refused. Since then, my illness has not recovered, until my sister came to my house, slowly Man'er's one or two years of kung fu has healed, and the past seems like a dream, if I hadn't heard Jia's family describe that monk, I would have forgotten it."
"It's all in the past. If you forget it, forget it. It's not a good thing." Lin Qingyun didn't know where she thought of it, so she could only explain it.
Daiyu shook her head lightly, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if she was confused by something: "Sister, I don't know, the pair of monks and Taoists are weird. I know that there is a young nun named Miaoyu in the Quicui Nunnery in Jia's Grand View Garden." Yes, I am 19 years old this year. She has been practicing since she was a child. She used to be a lady from a family of poets and book officials. She never relapsed from her illness. She once said that when she was a child, her parents searched everywhere for her illness. At that time, there was also a lay monk who wanted to turn her into a monk. Her parents refused and beat her out. Answered the monk's words." He said again: "Sister Bao has the heat poison brought by the womb, and she can't seek medical treatment. A monk came and gave the prescription, and it will be cured once she takes it. Baoyu is sick, don't ask, monk The Dao came hand in hand, healed the people without even thanking them, and then walked away, just like a fairy in the world to rescue the suffering. Why did the Daoist treat Sister Bao and Baoyu so mercifully, but insisted that we other girls enter the Buddhist sect? Outsiders also pay attention to favoring one and favoring another?"
As she spoke, Daiyu's heart became more and more heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing on her, and she could hardly breathe.
These days, she has been confused by this, thinking about it day and night, and suddenly thought of a section.If there was an emergency when my father was in Yangzhou, if she hadn't been taken home, if her illness hadn't recovered, if she was still suffering in Jia's house...
She always had a feeling that everything had changed since Lin Qingyun's arrival.
If it is true as assumed, she is an orphan living in Jia's family, the situation can be imagined.Now she can more or less guess that the intention of her father entrusting her to her grandmother back then may not mean entrusting her for life.Mrs. Wang obviously doesn't like her. The Xue family will definitely go to Beijing. It's very similar to the current situation, except that the person in Jiamu's heart has changed from Xiangyun to her.
Good luck!All this is for the good luck.
Baoyu's "jade" and Baochai's "golden lock", one was brought when the grass fell, and the other was given by a monk, isn't it a marriage destined by fate?
Lin Qingyun didn't know that she had fallen in love so deeply, but saw her expression was abnormal, and she stayed silent for a long time, fearing that she would be fascinated by it, so she hurriedly called her: "Sister!"
Daiyu supported her head, she seemed tired: "I'm fine, sister, don't worry."
"The words of monks and priests are the most unbelievable. Fortunately, the adoptive father did not give you up back then. It is unknown that the monk was a kidnapper back then. Nowadays, kidnappers also have many tricks. Not only is there no one to guard against by pretending to be a monk, ordinary poor people can't afford it. For children, seeing these monks open their mouths, they gave up in order to give their children a way out. Even officials and officials like my younger sister’s family, parents who are unwilling to endure their children’s illness, or who are afraid of their children’s premature death, will agree. They They abducted children without any effort, and no one pursued them, so they thought they had done a good thing.”
Daiyu stopped listening for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Could it be that parents who gave up their children didn't even ask monks and Taoists about their origins? If they don't know their origins, where can they go to visit in the future? Could it be that this has nothing to do with it? ?”
"It can be seen that the adoptive father loves you. It may not be that he was not tempted back then, but the monk couldn't tell what happened. He was afraid that the adoptive father would be arrested, and the monk ran fast. Just like this time, he cured the second master Jia Jiabao. How much money can't you get? Even if you uphold the monastic character and don't take a penny and only do good deeds, you don't have to run so fast, it seems to be hiding." Lin Qingyun racked his brains and said nonsense in order to comfort Daiyu.
But Daiyu didn't become suspicious, she thought about it and said with some doubts: "Could it be that you are afraid of bumping into someone from Xue's family?"
If it is true, then the Xue family's remarks about Jin Suo are doubtful.
"Who knows." How could Lin Qingyun really discuss this with her, and if he continued, he might not be able to make sense of it.
Daiyu suddenly came to her senses, and said angrily, "My sister is bluffing me again, I almost believed it."
Lin Qingyun said with a smile: "I'm not lying. If you think about it, what I say makes sense? It's just a guess, and I didn't say it must be. Well, today is a good day for the third sister of the Zhuang family. We are here to congratulate you. If you don’t go out, someone should come looking for you.”
After Daiyu talked about it, the sullenness in her heart dissipated, so she went out with her.
After returning from the Zhuang's house, Lin Qingjun couldn't help but think about Daiyu's words again and again, and her heart beat beating after realizing it.She has always known that Daiyu is bright and transparent, but this is the first time she has experienced it in person, maybe Daiyu didn't express all the doubts in her heart.After a while, she sighed to herself.In her own situation, anyone who doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas will think that she has hidden means, especially when the Lin family's father and daughter get along day and night, how can they not have the slightest doubt?It's just that Lin Ruhai saw that she didn't have bad intentions, and didn't want to explore. Daiyu had previously believed in her because of her father's relationship, so she only realized it now.
Forget it, the Lin family's father and daughter, and even Tu Yan, are her closest people in this world.
Back in the mansion, Lin Qingyun just wanted to lie down quietly for a while, and saw Tu Yan coming over just after changing into homely clothes.Tu Yan waved his hand to make Bai Lu and the others back down, pressed her in front of the mirror, and took off the cumbersome ornaments from her hair with his own hands.This is not the first time, his movements are already proficient.
"Is there something wrong?" If there is nothing wrong, it is not necessary to send the maids out.
"Is Weiqing interested in going out for a stroll?" Tu Yan leaned over her face, looked directly into her eyes in the mirror, and smiled a bit as if asking for credit: "Going out of Beijing."
"Going out of Beijing?!" Lin Qingyun exclaimed in a low voice, eyes full of disbelief: "What's going on? Didn't you say that you can't go out in three to five years?"
However, Tu Yan first said something that seemed irrelevant: "Last month on the 28th of last month, there was a siege at Iron Net Mountain, don't you want to go too?"
Lin Qingyun glared at him angrily: "I want to go shopping, but you are too lazy to go, and I can't go alone."
The royal siege is a grand event, but it is a pity that Tu Yan said that she is weak and has never participated in the siege, and the queen has to sit in the palace, so she has no interest in going to Xishan, so in the end she can only die.The last time the Xishan siege was only three days, half a month has passed, why bring it up again?
Tu Yan said: "Fortunately, you didn't go, something happened that day. The hunt went on to the second day, and an assassin came out. Fortunately, Father was prepared, otherwise..."
Lin Qingyun's face changed slightly: "I didn't hear any rumors."
"Father issued a password-sealed order, saying that there is nothing wrong with being left. If it is spread, people will panic." Tu Yan straightened the hair on her sideburns, and said: "It seems that the surface is calm now, but in the dark It’s a turbulent situation, and it will explode one day. The emperor is probably suspicious of filial piety to the prince, but it only hinders the emperor, but it is not easy to check it out. Do you remember the matter of going back to the Shibo Secretary last time?”
Lin Qingyun nodded.
"Father intends to let me go to Quanzhou, and take a look at the other two places along the way." Seeing her puzzled, Tu Yan explained carefully: "Most of the shipping departments deal with foreign merchant ships, and it's not that there are no one available to you, Father." , but we are not suitable for you. You know Western language, and you have friendship with Baron Lawrence, and I have a travel record. Where I really went in those years, outsiders don’t know, but my brothers know it well Ming. If it was really you and me who left Beijing, they would just think that I can't stand life in Beijing, so they wouldn't be too suspicious."
"But you want to investigate the people behind the Shibo Department?"
But Tu Yan shook his head, with a serious expression on his face: "Father suspects that they own merchant ships. They not only seek huge profits in private, but also secretly buy iron ore to make weapons."
Forging weapons without permission is tantamount to treason!
Lin Qingjun's heart sank, and after thinking about his words, he understood.If it is true that the Shibo Division is manipulated by others, it is a small thing to seek money, but it is a big deal to occupy the waterway quietly.Once the weapons are built in other places, and they are operated in the port by merchant ships, they will be close to the capital of the capital.The port closest to the capital is Tianjin Port. The Tianjin government has established civil affairs, salt transportation, taxation and military facilities. If those merchant ships with special contents can approach, the seriousness of the interior is self-evident.
"The emperor sent another person to Tianjin Mansion?" She guessed.
"En." Tu Yan lamented her sensitivity, and didn't say much about it.This matter is very sensitive on the whole, if not for his special status and special situation, the emperor would not use him.Furthermore, even if it is used, it is not without the intention of observing and probing. At this time, the emperor is not jealous of his own son, but hopes that he can share some of the political affairs.After all, if other factors were excluded, Tu Yan's ability was the emperor's favorite.
"How shall we go?"
Tu Yan laughed and said, "A ready-made reason, seek medical treatment for me."
Lin Qingyun couldn't help worrying when he heard the words: "Although you are less sick now, you can't bear the fatigue of traveling. If you are delayed on the road, what should you do if you miss the emperor's errand?"
"It doesn't matter, my father said, our business is not in a hurry, we will walk slowly all the way, and return to Beijing at the end of the year. If it is really the case in Quanzhou, we will only investigate first when we go to see what happened. Who is involved. This year the emperor will not touch them." Tu Yan saw that her expression was serious, and she was not at all relaxed and comfortable about going on a trip, so he couldn't help rubbing her face with a smile: "How old are you, you are not suitable for old-fashioned Look. Think about it, what kind of urgent matter is it that my father can entrust you and me with an errand? My father... just wants to try me with this."
Lin Qingjun's heart tightened when he heard this: "You mean..."
"I consider Weiqing to be my confidant in this life, does Weiqing know me?"
Lin Qingyun chuckled, looked directly at him and said, "Of course I know, you just do it with your heart, and I will definitely not wrong myself."
Now that Tu Yan is married and his health is gradually getting better, but because the further intimacy between the Supreme Emperor and Prince Jingxiao has attracted everyone's attention, he didn't pay much attention to Prince Chun's Mansion for a while.The emperor always cared about his own son, seeing Tu Yan's current state, he couldn't help but move his mind, and it was true that the other princes fought too hard, and Tu Yan, who was unbiased and capable, won people's favor.
Tu Yan had been idle for many years, but due to the situation, he had to prepare for the worst.
Two days later, news spread from Prince Chun's mansion that Prince Chun was ill.
The emperor and empress, the palaces of the princes of various counties, the palace of Zhongshun, the palace of Prince Jingxiao, etc. all came to visit in person. Although Prince Chun's palace claimed that Tuyan had just got into his body due to wind and evil, he did not recover after seven or eight days. Considering Tuyan's special condition Everyone pays the greatest attention to their physical condition.Tu Yan, whom the princes and princes of the county saw, was pale, sluggish, unable to speak, and lazy in thought. He also heard that he would not eat eight times out of ten, and Princess Chun wiped tears every day, which showed that he was sick. It's heavy.You know, even minor illnesses can lead to major illnesses and kills.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, Prince Chun's Mansion suddenly prepared all the chariots and horses, but when everyone asked, they said they were going to travel far away.
The boxes, cages, salutes and other things have been packed earlier, and the people to be brought have been arranged properly. Lin Qingyun checked it again, and ordered people to go to the Lin's, Jia's, Zhuang's, and Shi's homes to return the gifts.On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Lin Qingyun's usually strong body suddenly failed, and he suffered from heat stroke, and lay down for three days. All the families came to visit, and the girls from several families came to visit and say hello.When it was time to leave, there were still some melons and fruits of various colors that the empress in the palace had rewarded earlier, so I added some fresh ingredients and distributed them to the sisters of each family.
Daiyu collected the things, and only then learned from Bailing that she was leaving Beijing. She hurriedly changed her clothes and came by car. When she saw her, she complained: "Why is my sister leaving Beijing suddenly? Such a big thing is so important. Tell me, so you don't think of me as your younger sister anymore."
"Good sister, that's not the case. We also made a temporary decision." Lin Qingyun had to lie, after all, she really couldn't tell the details. "You also know that our prince has been ill for several days, and the empress is also afraid of being ill for a long time. Even I couldn't survive it. A few days ago, I heard in a trance that someone planted a reed in Jiuhua Mountain to treat passers-by for free. Although he is in his thirties, he has excellent medical skills and has cured many difficult and miscellaneous diseases. It's just that this person has a quirk, he is only willing to treat diseases in Jiuhua Mountain, and never goes anywhere else. The local magistrate sent a sedan chair to go there. I can't even refuse to get on the sedan chair. I thought, since this person has such courage, he can continue to practice medicine in Mount Jiuhua after rejecting the magistrate, which shows that he has real skills. Perhaps sincerity is sincere, and for the sake of curing diseases, he is Why not take a trip. For this reason, after discussing with the prince, I decided to go to Mount Jiuhua."
"Is there such a strange person? Maybe he is really capable." Daiyu also knew about Prince Chun's illness, and after hearing these words, she no longer complained, but felt that Prince Chun was sincere.After all, as a pure prince, as long as he wanted to, the emperor could even issue an order to "invite" that doctor.
"Sister, go back, I'm leaving now, and I'll write you a letter when I get there." The remarks of the Jiuhuashan doctor were not fabricated, but Tu Yan had already got the news, but he didn't take it to heart, and now it just happened to be used.
After bidding farewell to Daiyu and all the families who came to see her off, Tu Yan boarded the car and left with Lin Qingyun.
Lin Qingyun always has to go out for dinner these days, either this family married a daughter, or that family married a wife, and they had a baby to celebrate their birthdays.In the past, Tu Yan naturally didn't need to move around when he was alone, and he just picked a few close relatives to give gifts to him, but it was different after the big wedding. As the head of the house, as the head of the house, all the relationships that should be taken care of should be handled properly by each family.Lin Qingyun's relationship here is simple, only a relative of the Lin family, and only a few girls from the Jia family's Zhuang family. However, Tu Yan's side is more cumbersome. Get it right so you don't make a joke.
In his spare time, in response to Tu Yan's repeated pleadings, he took one of his paintings as a draft and painted an oil painting.
Tu Yan's painting is very large, although there are only two figures in it, they are in actual proportions, and the figures in the painting are of extraordinary identities, they are the two most noble people in the world - the emperor and the empress!This was the reason why Lin Qingyun was unwilling to draw at first, and she was also afraid of making a mistake. What's more, the emperor's portrait was drawn at will?However, Tu Yan was well prepared. He had obtained the emperor's permission earlier, so he came to her and said that he wanted to present this painting as a gift on New Year's Eve.
"You are lazy, and you made me work hard, and the credit is yours." Lin Qingyun thought of such a big project and had to strive for perfection, feeling very stressed.
"As the saying goes, those who can do more work, who makes Weiqing capable." Tu Yan joked, looked at the various paints in front of him, asked her some painting skills, coloring steps and other things, and said: "You paint slowly. That is, if you can’t finish painting this year, you can wait until next year, when I learn to help you.”
Lin Qingyun couldn't help laughing and said: "My lord is very smart, and he has a foundation in painting. As the saying goes, 'one knows everything'. Maybe the lord learned kung fu within a few months."
Although this is a joke, there is no doubt about Tu Yan's learning ability. She is also teaching Western Chinese, and Daiyu's learning progress is already fast, but Tuyan can learn faster than Daiyu.Probably Tuyan was more relaxed than Daiyu. In addition to his outstanding academic talent, he never flinched in practice, and often grabbed her to practice dialogue.For this reason, the red-tailed egret often jokes, saying that there are two foreign masters serving in the mansion. When they meet in the morning, they say "Gude Maoning", at noon they say "Gude Ningen", and at night they say "Gude Yiwenning". The maids find it funny She also learned it secretly, but when Aunt Wenxin was ordered by the queen to deliver things, she heard the maids saying "Gude" and asked which family's surname it was so weird.
Now that the large painting shelf has been opened and the canvas is ready, Lin Qingyun asked Tu Yan to make the draft.
"Princess." Bailu came in from the door and saw the prince painting, so he replied in a low voice: "I have sent all the things that the princess sent me, but I just saw that Miss Lin had something on her mind. When I got back from the palace, I felt a little tired, as if it had something to do with the Jia family."
Since he hadn't seen her for some time, Lin Qingyun ordered Bailu to send Daiyu some fresh melons and fruits, and by the way, to see how the Lin family's father and daughter were doing recently, but unexpectedly got the news.
Thinking about it carefully, apart from Baoyu's illness, Jia's family had nothing else to do.Maybe it was because of the damage to Shi Xiangyun's reputation?The marriage between the Shi family and the Wei family is a foregone conclusion, and Jia's mother knows that there is no way to bring it back. Two days ago, the Shi and Wei families made a small settlement. Jia's mother went for a trip by herself. A match made in heaven and other words.When outsiders saw this, they questioned the remarks of the first two family members.Taking advantage of Baoyu's improvement, Jia Mu ordered people to give alms outside the city for three days, and said: "The two monks who treated Baoyu said that Baoyu should not be married early, but should be married later." good."

"Sister, why bother to say this? You still don't know my heart? I value Baochai the most in my heart." Mrs. Wang hurriedly persuaded Aunt Xue to sit down. , I am in my forties.

"Sister, don't worry, and tell Bao girl not to think too much. I will ask my mother to decide this matter. The monk's words are not worth the mother's decree. Besides, it is only said that you can get married when you are eighteen, but if you make a decision early, you will not be able to marry." It's okay."
"Then, I'll trust my sister once more." Aunt Xue was also helpless, rumors were rampant outside, and she had to avoid the limelight.Besides, Jia's family is already a good choice for Xue's family, what's more, if they are close relatives, they both know each other's characters and temperaments, if they change someone else, she is also afraid that her daughter will suffer.Let's wait and see, if it doesn't work, let's talk about other things.
On the sixteenth, Zhuang Shiyu came out of the pavilion to put on her makeup one day in advance, and Lin Qingyun also went to add makeup.
It was still early, and when Lin Qingyun came, Daiyu had already teased the newlyweds with the girls of the Zhuang family. She went over and only asked Bailu to invite her.Waiting for Daiyu to come, she dismissed the servant girl, asked about Daiyu's recent situation, and carefully observed her expression, but she didn't find anything wrong.
Lin Qingjun simply asked directly: "The last time Bailu went to deliver things and came back to say that you are not in the right mind, but why are you worried about things?"
Daiyu laughed when she heard it: "I don't have anything to worry about, I know, it must be Zijuan who said it, and she is quick to talk." Seeing that she didn't believe it, Daiyu said: "It's nothing, it's just that Baoyu was ill last time A pair of monks and Taoists came, but it reminded me of my childhood."
Lin Qingyun's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered the original story, that couple of monks and Taoists were "human traffickers"!
Guo heard Daiyu sigh: "I was not in good health when I was young. The weak disease brought from the womb, I took medicine when I was eating, and no number of doctors prescribed it. It didn't work. When I was three years old, a monk came and wanted me to become a monk." , said that this is the only way I can recover from my illness. My parents were reluctant to part with me, not to mention that the head-hunting monk was really sloppy and crazy, so they refused. Since then, my illness has not recovered, until my sister came to my house, slowly Man'er's one or two years of kung fu has healed, and the past seems like a dream, if I hadn't heard Jia's family describe that monk, I would have forgotten it."
"It's all in the past. If you forget it, forget it. It's not a good thing." Lin Qingyun didn't know where she thought of it, so she could only explain it.
Daiyu shook her head lightly, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if she was confused by something: "Sister, I don't know, the pair of monks and Taoists are weird. I know that there is a young nun named Miaoyu in the Quicui Nunnery in Jia's Grand View Garden." Yes, I am 19 years old this year. She has been practicing since she was a child. She used to be a lady from a family of poets and book officials. She never relapsed from her illness. She once said that when she was a child, her parents searched everywhere for her illness. At that time, there was also a lay monk who wanted to turn her into a monk. Her parents refused and beat her out. Answered the monk's words." He said again: "Sister Bao has the heat poison brought by the womb, and she can't seek medical treatment. A monk came and gave the prescription, and it will be cured once she takes it. Baoyu is sick, don't ask, monk The Dao came hand in hand, healed the people without even thanking them, and then walked away, just like a fairy in the world to rescue the suffering. Why did the Daoist treat Sister Bao and Baoyu so mercifully, but insisted that we other girls enter the Buddhist sect? Outsiders also pay attention to favoring one and favoring another?"
As she spoke, Daiyu's heart became more and more heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing on her, and she could hardly breathe.
These days, she has been confused by this, thinking about it day and night, and suddenly thought of a section.If there was an emergency when my father was in Yangzhou, if she hadn't been taken home, if her illness hadn't recovered, if she was still suffering in Jia's house...
She always had a feeling that everything had changed since Lin Qingyun's arrival.
If it is true as assumed, she is an orphan living in Jia's family, the situation can be imagined.Now she can more or less guess that the intention of her father entrusting her to her grandmother back then may not mean entrusting her for life.Mrs. Wang obviously doesn't like her. The Xue family will definitely go to Beijing. It's very similar to the current situation, except that the person in Jiamu's heart has changed from Xiangyun to her.
Good luck!All this is for the good luck.
Baoyu's "jade" and Baochai's "golden lock", one was brought when the grass fell, and the other was given by a monk, isn't it a marriage destined by fate?
Lin Qingyun didn't know that she had fallen in love so deeply, but saw her expression was abnormal, and she stayed silent for a long time, fearing that she would be fascinated by it, so she hurriedly called her: "Sister!"
Daiyu supported her head, she seemed tired: "I'm fine, sister, don't worry."
"The words of monks and priests are the most unbelievable. Fortunately, the adoptive father did not give you up back then. It is unknown that the monk was a kidnapper back then. Nowadays, kidnappers also have many tricks. Not only is there no one to guard against by pretending to be a monk, ordinary poor people can't afford it. For children, seeing these monks open their mouths, they gave up in order to give their children a way out. Even officials and officials like my younger sister’s family, parents who are unwilling to endure their children’s illness, or who are afraid of their children’s premature death, will agree. They They abducted children without any effort, and no one pursued them, so they thought they had done a good thing.”
Daiyu stopped listening for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Could it be that parents who gave up their children didn't even ask monks and Taoists about their origins? If they don't know their origins, where can they go to visit in the future? Could it be that this has nothing to do with it? ?”
"It can be seen that the adoptive father loves you. It may not be that he was not tempted back then, but the monk couldn't tell what happened. He was afraid that the adoptive father would be arrested, and the monk ran fast. Just like this time, he cured the second master Jia Jiabao. How much money can't you get? Even if you uphold the monastic character and don't take a penny and only do good deeds, you don't have to run so fast, it seems to be hiding." Lin Qingyun racked his brains and said nonsense in order to comfort Daiyu.
But Daiyu didn't become suspicious, she thought about it and said with some doubts: "Could it be that you are afraid of bumping into someone from Xue's family?"
If it is true, then the Xue family's remarks about Jin Suo are doubtful.
"Who knows." How could Lin Qingyun really discuss this with her, and if he continued, he might not be able to make sense of it.
Daiyu suddenly came to her senses, and said angrily, "My sister is bluffing me again, I almost believed it."
Lin Qingyun said with a smile: "I'm not lying. If you think about it, what I say makes sense? It's just a guess, and I didn't say it must be. Well, today is a good day for the third sister of the Zhuang family. We are here to congratulate you. If you don’t go out, someone should come looking for you.”
After Daiyu talked about it, the sullenness in her heart dissipated, so she went out with her.
After returning from the Zhuang's house, Lin Qingjun couldn't help but think about Daiyu's words again and again, and her heart beat beating after realizing it.She has always known that Daiyu is bright and transparent, but this is the first time she has experienced it in person, maybe Daiyu didn't express all the doubts in her heart.After a while, she sighed to herself.In her own situation, anyone who doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas will think that she has hidden means, especially when the Lin family's father and daughter get along day and night, how can they not have the slightest doubt?It's just that Lin Ruhai saw that she didn't have bad intentions, and didn't want to explore. Daiyu had previously believed in her because of her father's relationship, so she only realized it now.
Forget it, the Lin family's father and daughter, and even Tu Yan, are her closest people in this world.
Back in the mansion, Lin Qingyun just wanted to lie down quietly for a while, and saw Tu Yan coming over just after changing into homely clothes.Tu Yan waved his hand to make Bai Lu and the others back down, pressed her in front of the mirror, and took off the cumbersome ornaments from her hair with his own hands.This is not the first time, his movements are already proficient.
"Is there something wrong?" If there is nothing wrong, it is not necessary to send the maids out.
"Is Weiqing interested in going out for a stroll?" Tu Yan leaned over her face, looked directly into her eyes in the mirror, and smiled a bit as if asking for credit: "Going out of Beijing."
"Going out of Beijing?!" Lin Qingyun exclaimed in a low voice, eyes full of disbelief: "What's going on? Didn't you say that you can't go out in three to five years?"
However, Tu Yan first said something that seemed irrelevant: "Last month on the 28th of last month, there was a siege at Iron Net Mountain, don't you want to go too?"
Lin Qingyun glared at him angrily: "I want to go shopping, but you are too lazy to go, and I can't go alone."
The royal siege is a grand event, but it is a pity that Tu Yan said that she is weak and has never participated in the siege, and the queen has to sit in the palace, so she has no interest in going to Xishan, so in the end she can only die.The last time the Xishan siege was only three days, half a month has passed, why bring it up again?
Tu Yan said: "Fortunately, you didn't go, something happened that day. The hunt went on to the second day, and an assassin came out. Fortunately, Father was prepared, otherwise..."
Lin Qingyun's face changed slightly: "I didn't hear any rumors."
"Father issued a password-sealed order, saying that there is nothing wrong with being left. If it is spread, people will panic." Tu Yan straightened the hair on her sideburns, and said: "It seems that the surface is calm now, but in the dark It’s a turbulent situation, and it will explode one day. The emperor is probably suspicious of filial piety to the prince, but it only hinders the emperor, but it is not easy to check it out. Do you remember the matter of going back to the Shibo Secretary last time?”
Lin Qingyun nodded.
"Father intends to let me go to Quanzhou, and take a look at the other two places along the way." Seeing her puzzled, Tu Yan explained carefully: "Most of the shipping departments deal with foreign merchant ships, and it's not that there are no one available to you, Father." , but we are not suitable for you. You know Western language, and you have friendship with Baron Lawrence, and I have a travel record. Where I really went in those years, outsiders don’t know, but my brothers know it well Ming. If it was really you and me who left Beijing, they would just think that I can't stand life in Beijing, so they wouldn't be too suspicious."
"But you want to investigate the people behind the Shibo Department?"
But Tu Yan shook his head, with a serious expression on his face: "Father suspects that they own merchant ships. They not only seek huge profits in private, but also secretly buy iron ore to make weapons."
Forging weapons without permission is tantamount to treason!
Lin Qingjun's heart sank, and after thinking about his words, he understood.If it is true that the Shibo Division is manipulated by others, it is a small thing to seek money, but it is a big deal to occupy the waterway quietly.Once the weapons are built in other places, and they are operated in the port by merchant ships, they will be close to the capital of the capital.The port closest to the capital is Tianjin Port. The Tianjin government has established civil affairs, salt transportation, taxation and military facilities. If those merchant ships with special contents can approach, the seriousness of the interior is self-evident.
"The emperor sent another person to Tianjin Mansion?" She guessed.
"En." Tu Yan lamented her sensitivity, and didn't say much about it.This matter is very sensitive on the whole, if not for his special status and special situation, the emperor would not use him.Furthermore, even if it is used, it is not without the intention of observing and probing. At this time, the emperor is not jealous of his own son, but hopes that he can share some of the political affairs.After all, if other factors were excluded, Tu Yan's ability was the emperor's favorite.
"How shall we go?"
Tu Yan laughed and said, "A ready-made reason, seek medical treatment for me."
Lin Qingyun couldn't help worrying when he heard the words: "Although you are less sick now, you can't bear the fatigue of traveling. If you are delayed on the road, what should you do if you miss the emperor's errand?"
"It doesn't matter, my father said, our business is not in a hurry, we will walk slowly all the way, and return to Beijing at the end of the year. If it is really the case in Quanzhou, we will only investigate first when we go to see what happened. Who is involved. This year the emperor will not touch them." Tu Yan saw that her expression was serious, and she was not at all relaxed and comfortable about going on a trip, so he couldn't help rubbing her face with a smile: "How old are you, you are not suitable for old-fashioned Look. Think about it, what kind of urgent matter is it that my father can entrust you and me with an errand? My father... just wants to try me with this."
Lin Qingjun's heart tightened when he heard this: "You mean..."
"I consider Weiqing to be my confidant in this life, does Weiqing know me?"
Lin Qingyun chuckled, looked directly at him and said, "Of course I know, you just do it with your heart, and I will definitely not wrong myself."
Now that Tu Yan is married and his health is gradually getting better, but because the further intimacy between the Supreme Emperor and Prince Jingxiao has attracted everyone's attention, he didn't pay much attention to Prince Chun's Mansion for a while.The emperor always cared about his own son, seeing Tu Yan's current state, he couldn't help but move his mind, and it was true that the other princes fought too hard, and Tu Yan, who was unbiased and capable, won people's favor.
Tu Yan had been idle for many years, but due to the situation, he had to prepare for the worst.
Two days later, news spread from Prince Chun's mansion that Prince Chun was ill.
The emperor and empress, the palaces of the princes of various counties, the palace of Zhongshun, the palace of Prince Jingxiao, etc. all came to visit in person. Although Prince Chun's palace claimed that Tuyan had just got into his body due to wind and evil, he did not recover after seven or eight days. Considering Tuyan's special condition Everyone pays the greatest attention to their physical condition.Tu Yan, whom the princes and princes of the county saw, was pale, sluggish, unable to speak, and lazy in thought. He also heard that he would not eat eight times out of ten, and Princess Chun wiped tears every day, which showed that he was sick. It's heavy.You know, even minor illnesses can lead to major illnesses and kills.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, Prince Chun's Mansion suddenly prepared all the chariots and horses, but when everyone asked, they said they were going to travel far away.
The boxes, cages, salutes and other things have been packed earlier, and the people to be brought have been arranged properly. Lin Qingyun checked it again, and ordered people to go to the Lin's, Jia's, Zhuang's, and Shi's homes to return the gifts.On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Lin Qingyun's usually strong body suddenly failed, and he suffered from heat stroke, and lay down for three days. All the families came to visit, and the girls from several families came to visit and say hello.When it was time to leave, there were still some melons and fruits of various colors that the empress in the palace had rewarded earlier, so I added some fresh ingredients and distributed them to the sisters of each family.
Daiyu collected the things, and only then learned from Bailing that she was leaving Beijing. She hurriedly changed her clothes and came by car. When she saw her, she complained: "Why is my sister leaving Beijing suddenly? Such a big thing is so important. Tell me, so you don't think of me as your younger sister anymore."
"Good sister, that's not the case. We also made a temporary decision." Lin Qingyun had to lie, after all, she really couldn't tell the details. "You also know that our prince has been ill for several days, and the empress is also afraid of being ill for a long time. Even I couldn't survive it. A few days ago, I heard in a trance that someone planted a reed in Jiuhua Mountain to treat passers-by for free. Although he is in his thirties, he has excellent medical skills and has cured many difficult and miscellaneous diseases. It's just that this person has a quirk, he is only willing to treat diseases in Jiuhua Mountain, and never goes anywhere else. The local magistrate sent a sedan chair to go there. I can't even refuse to get on the sedan chair. I thought, since this person has such courage, he can continue to practice medicine in Mount Jiuhua after rejecting the magistrate, which shows that he has real skills. Perhaps sincerity is sincere, and for the sake of curing diseases, he is Why not take a trip. For this reason, after discussing with the prince, I decided to go to Mount Jiuhua."
"Is there such a strange person? Maybe he is really capable." Daiyu also knew about Prince Chun's illness, and after hearing these words, she no longer complained, but felt that Prince Chun was sincere.After all, as a pure prince, as long as he wanted to, the emperor could even issue an order to "invite" that doctor.
"Sister, go back, I'm leaving now, and I'll write you a letter when I get there." The remarks of the Jiuhuashan doctor were not fabricated, but Tu Yan had already got the news, but he didn't take it to heart, and now it just happened to be used.
After bidding farewell to Daiyu and all the families who came to see her off, Tu Yan boarded the car and left with Lin Qingyun.
