The Lin family has a female named Qingyun [Red Mansion]

In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and New Year's gifts had to be delivered in advance. As soon as the twelfth lunar month entered, the boat for the Lin family's New Year's gift left for the capital.

There are a lot of social gatherings every year, and Lin Ruhai is the inspector of the salt censor, and almost every day someone treats him to a drink. In addition to his colleagues in the officialdom, there are also large and small salt merchants in Yangzhou.If you want to be a good official, especially the salt administration, it is the worst thing to be blindly high-minded. After several years, Lin Ruhai is well versed in this.During the first month, a few restaurants are selected for drinking, and others are rejected. Except for the New Year's gift of ice and charcoal as a filial piety, no one is accepted.

On the day of the third day of junior high school, the magistrate invited them to a banquet, together with several major salt merchants in Yangzhou City, the place was in a private garden by the West Lake.This garden was a gift from a salt merchant, and now it is covered with snow, plum blossoms are competing to bloom, it is extremely elegant.

During the banquet, dancers were invited to add to the fun, which was normal, and Lin Ruhai didn't care about it at first.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Fang Zhou, the prefect, suddenly pointed to a young dancer in red and said, "This girl is named Hong Qiang, she is a noble lady, she is not only good at dancing, but also looks great. It's rare to be able to recite poems and paint, she can be called a talented woman. Master Lin has a good record and has a brilliant literary talent, this Hong Qiang has admired Master Lin for a long time."

Hong Qiang smiled brightly, walked to Lin Ruhai's banquet with lotus steps, poured a glass of wine to toast, but she lowered her head, showing infinite shyness: "Hong Qiang is fortunate to see Master Lin's true face, it is really a Sansheng is lucky to have a glass of thin wine to express Hong Qiang's admiration, I hope Master Lin will not refuse."

What Lin Ruhai didn't understand at this moment was that this was a specially set up beauty trick.When he first came to Yangzhou, he often encountered such things, both openly and covertly, even those who tried their best to enter the mansion and were sent out by Jia Min. Only after seeing that he remained indifferent did those people stop.After Jia Min passed away, some people moved their minds again, but he blocked them all, and it was staged again after three or four years.

"Lin is over half a hundred years old, and it's not like it used to be. Miss Hongqiang kindly accepts Lin, so this wine is fine. Lin is too strong to drink, and I really can't drink any more." Lin Ruhai declined the toast, because he knew that once he accepted After one cup, there will be a second cup and a third cup soon. Fang Zhou knows that he doesn't like women, how could he commit the crime knowingly?I'm afraid there is a backhand.

After working in the salt administration for several years, Lin Ruhai developed a cautious temperament, preferring to be suspicious rather than careless.

After this, Lin Ruhai paid attention to everyone's expressions at the dinner, pretended to be drunk and got up to leave.

Fang Zhou and others couldn't keep him, so they sent him to the carriage in person.

Lin Ruhai thought about the recent actions of the magistrate and others, and it always seemed a little contrary.

It was the beginning of Hai, and there were already no people on the frozen street, fearing that the carriage would slip, the carriage did not go very fast.Just turning a street corner, the carriage jerked violently, only to hear the horse neighing, raised its hooves and stomped twice, and suddenly galloped out like a sharp arrow.There was a bang bang bang bang bang, the speed was too fast, the ground was wet and slippery, the carriage was so bumpy that it almost fell apart, Lin Ruhai was even dizzy from the jolt, and almost vomited out after eating wine.With a click, the carriage finally couldn't bear the speed and disconnected, and fell to the ground. Lin Ruhai hit his forehead on the wall of the car and almost fainted.

"Master! Are you alright, master?" Jiang Ping's expression changed with fright, he scrambled to open the damaged car door, and helped Lin Ruhai out.

Lin Ruhai only felt dizzy, and when he raised his hand to touch it, it was covered with blood.

"Master, you are bleeding!" Jiang Ping panicked even more when he saw this, and the coachman shook like chaff, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Go back to the mansion first, and invite the doctor right away. Remember, please do so with great fanfare, no matter how serious the situation is." Even at this moment, Lin Ruhai has calmed down after the initial panic, guessing many possibilities in his mind.Presumably, this was not the driver's mistake, nor was it simply an accident. Since those people were planning to plan, if they fail once, there will always be another time, so it is better to use the plan.

At this time, Lin Qingjun was in Daiyu's room, and the two of them were chatting and waiting for Lin Ruhai to return from the banquet, but they might as well have heard the news that Lin Ruhai had an accident and asked for a doctor, which frightened the two of them.The two of them didn't care about anything, and immediately wrapped their big fur cloaks and walked towards Lin Ruhai's yard facing the biting night wind.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Lianqiu, the eldest maid in Lin Ruhai's room, standing at the door, admonishing the little girls who didn't understand the rules and chattering indiscriminately. The clear water in the water has turned into bloody water, with a smell of blood, which is very scary.

"Father!" After all, Daiyu was young and worried too much, when she saw this scene, her face paled with fright and her body swayed, almost fainting.

Lin Qingyun supported her with quick eyes and hands, and at the same time comforted her: "Sister, don't panic! The adoptive father may have been injured, how can there be no blood after cleaning the wound? It may not be serious. Right now, the adoptive father is waiting quietly for the doctor Diagnose the pulse, my sister must not get confused, and the anti-Christian father is worried."

"Yes, what my sister said is true." Daiyu slowed down, tried to stay calm, and walked to the door of the room very quickly. There was no sound through the door. "How is Daddy? Does it matter? Why hasn't the doctor come yet? Is it cleaned up? I have to go in and see Daddy."

"Miss, don't panic, the doctor is coming." Lianqiu let it go as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was obviously abnormal, it seemed to be crying.

Daiyu heard it, she was startled, tears couldn't stop rolling down: "Daddy, but Daddy..."

Lin Qingyun was also taken aback. While comforting Daiyu, she asked Lianqiu carefully: "Where did the master hurt? How is it now? Tell me carefully."

At this moment, there was a commotion at the gate of the courtyard, but the three aunts who had heard the news came, and each of them was followed by a girl and a woman, cheering.These three people are very low-key in the Lin family, knowing that Lin Ruhai accepts them only as heirs, although the due share has never been short, but if they want to go out of their way to fight for other things, Lin Ruhai is the first one who can't tolerate them, so They all keep to their duty.

Now seeing two girls standing in front of the room door, the three of them stood a few steps away under the steps after seeing the salute, not daring to come out.They all recited Buddha's name in their hearts, hoping that Lin Ruhai would be safe and sound, because they depended on Lin Ruhai for the rest of their lives.

"The doctor is here!" Someone yelled outside the gate, and everyone hurriedly parted ways, but they saw Mrs. Xu rushing over with the help of an old doctor in his fifties, who was already sweating profusely in such a cold day.

Lin Qingyun and Daiyu followed the doctor in, afraid of disturbing the doctor, they just stood outside and waited.Daiyu was too nervous, her lips turned white, and she unconsciously squeezed Qingyun's hand very hard. Although Qingyun was in pain, seeing her expression like this, she had no choice but to bear it silently.

Faintly heard voices in the room, the voice was too low for Qing Yun to hear clearly, and it took a while for the doctor to come out.

Daiyu took a step forward to meet him and asked, "Dare to ask Dr. Zhao, what happened to my father? Does it matter?"

Doctor Zhao paused for a moment: "Girl, don't worry too much, it's okay, it's okay."

"Amitabha." Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief and hurried in to visit.

Qingyun took a step behind, watching Aunt Xu send the doctor out, and thinking back just now, the doctor's expression was quite strange.This Dr. Zhao is commonly used by the Lin family, and he is well-known in Yangzhou, and his medical skills are also good, so there is no mistake.

Entering the inner room, I saw Daiyu lying on the bedside sobbing softly, Lin Ruhai caressing her head, leaning on the bed, her face turned pale, her head was wrapped with a circle of gauze, it was obvious that she had bumped her head.Although his complexion is not good, it should be due to excessive blood loss, but the other side seems to be fine.

"Sister, don't cry. The foster father is probably tired after being injured. If you have anything to say, finish as much as you can, so that the foster father can rest earlier."

Daiyu wiped away her tears, but still choked up: "I just feel sorry for Daddy. It took me a while to get better, but this kind of thing happened to me again. I just said that the prefect was uneasy and kind, why would you invite me in such a cold day?" However, since the two families already had a rift earlier, it's not easy to shirk it, and let Daddy suffer all this for nothing."

Daiyu felt distressed and vented her anger, while Qingyun was listening but felt something strange happened.

Lin Ruhai took the expressions of the two into his eyes, sighed and said: "The doctor said it's not a serious problem, I just did this for outsiders to see, so don't cry."

Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, and felt her meaning after careful inspection, and felt even more sad.

"Daddy's job as an official is too hard, when will he be a head? If you can not be an official, the family will be safe and sound, even if you have poor clothes."

"Sister is on the edge again." Lin Qingyun helped her up, and asked Lin Ruhai tentatively: "My foster father is making a big show, but what's his plan?"

Lin Ruhai did not hide some things from them, not to mention that they needed to cooperate this time, so naturally he had to explain clearly.

"What they have worked so hard to plan is nothing more than the post of inspector of the salt censor. Previously, the Holy Majesty ordered me to serve for another year. Not surprisingly, I will be transferred back to Beijing after the end of my term. So I can make arrangements during this year. Do something so that the successor will not be in a hurry. However, during this period of time, the magistrate and others have been acting frequently, and I am afraid that they have received some new instructions. After all, they do not know the plan of the Holy One, so they are eager to knock me down so that they can replace them. Once a person is in a hurry, there will be a faint move, and the faint move is also a ruthless move. It is the father's responsibility, and they have concerns as the court order, but you can't stay here. The weakness of the father is only you two, If they do something to you two, it will be too late to regret it as a father."

"Father wants us to go to Beijing?" Lin Qingyun couldn't help frowning, because once he went to Beijing, he would go to Jia's mansion, which is really a headache.

"Father, I won't go!" Hearing these words, Daiyu became more worried and refused to leave easily. She had lost her mother and could not lose her father.

"Yu'er is obedient." Lin Ruhai analyzed the internal and external interests of the two of them one by one, and finally said: "Although that is the case, I will not let the two of you leave immediately. There must be a legitimate reason. Besides, Your going to Beijing is just a step ahead, and you will return to Beijing soon as your father, and then our family of three will be reunited naturally."

Although Daiyu was still reluctant, she also didn't want to be a burden to her father, so she nodded with tears in her eyes.

Lin Qingjun guessed the "reason" Lin Ruhai said, and seeing Daiyu's compromise, he lost no time in saying: "Father, don't worry, I will take good care of my sister. If you go to the capital this time, clean up our house first, and wait for the foster father to take care of me." When we arrive in the capital, everything is in order, so there is no need to worry about it."

Qingyun did this only because she couldn't stay in Jia's house. Firstly, she didn't like Jia's house at all. It was exhausting to deal with the many people. Second, she was not a serious relative after all, living there was always awkward and not free.If she packs up the Lin family's house and lives there on weekdays, she can pick up Daiyu to live there for a few days every ten and a half months, so that people will know that Daiyu is not a homeless person who went here, and is a decent daughter of a third-rank official. To save the villain in Jia's mansion from gossiping.

Lin Ruhai comprehended the meaning of her words, glanced at her, and finally said with a smile: "Alright, you are always careful and considerate, and Yu'er is relieved to have you watching me."
