[Red House] Flowers are good jade circles

Hong Yun woke up instantly from the fuzzy state, and when he was about to move, Daiyu put her index finger on her lips and made a silent movement.

Seeing this, Hong Yun said: "Stop for a moment, wait for Ulan, she is making troubles in the back, this girl doesn't know what she is making all day long."

"Children, she is either hungry or thirsty. Don't scare her. Forget it. Let me go and see." Daiyu and Hongyun looked at each other's eyes and talked. Hongyun's hand came out of the car window. Reaching in, tightly holding Daiyu's hand, the palm is full of cold sweat.

Daiyu walked out of the sedan chair calmly, Hong Que pushed her behind him, and instructed the bearers with hand gestures not to speak.He calmly said: "Stop to the side and wait, there are many people coming and going here, don't block the road."

Under Hong Yun's guidance, the bearer carried the sedan chair to a secluded back alley. In this place, there was not a single ghost, not to mention people.

No, if you look closely, you can see a small black figure taking advantage of the night to open a small section of the sedan door from the sedan chair, and roll out from inside neatly.The angle he chose was particularly tricky, almost close to the wall, hiding his body in the darkness.If Hongyun hadn't guarded it on purpose, he might have let him escape.

"Where can I escape?" Before Hong Yun could reach out, several guards had already surrounded him, and when he revealed his figure, several steel knives were held around his neck at the same time.

Dragging it under the light and looking at it, this person is thin and small, with a shrewd face.Wearing a blue cloth gown with the hem knotted and tucked at the waist, it looked nondescript.

"Who are you? What do you want to do by hiding under the sedan chair?" Hong Yun became more and more angry when he thought about it, and kicked him with his leg raised.If it wasn't for Daiyu's quick-wittedness, she would have discovered something was wrong halfway through, and she didn't know what would happen in a while.In case someone really sneaked into the Lin family, he would break out in cold sweat at the thought of this.

Jingyu and Wulan were blocked by Daiyu, and they were not allowed to go forward, "Let Hongyun deal with a small thief, why don't you go up to join in the fun."

"What does he want to do? Who sent him here? You must not let him go lightly." Jing Yu's voice was buzzing, and she couldn't help feeling annoyed that she should have changed the sedan chair with her sister just now.

Ulan was a little nervous, but she didn't want others to see it. She twisted her handkerchief with her hands, and her little heart was beating.Daiyu asked Jingyu to take care of Ulan, who got into her sedan chair, so she wanted to see what was going on.

The thief was not aggressive at first glance, and after being caught, he knelt down on the ground with a dejected face, and a string hanging from his waist attracted Daiyu to take a second look.This is a pair of shoe-shaped nets made of dark green, with nothing hanging on the bottom.Generally, the nets are used to hang jade pendants or gold ornaments, unless children, there is no reason for adults to hang only one net.Moreover, shoe-shaped webs are also extremely rare.

When Daiyu came over, Hongyun was questioning, and the thief cried out innocently, "My lord, the little one just touched a few purses, who would have thought that there would be such a big fight, the little one just watched too much." There were many guards who had to check and pass the customs again. As a last resort, I found a sedan chair and hid in it. The little one was willing to take out all the purses, and didn't keep a single one."

After speaking, he really started to dig into his bosom, the guard yelled at him, and touched it himself, the little thief rolled on the ground laughing, "Hey, hahaha... light, light, ha ha ha..." It turned out to be a ticklish of.This commotion made people let down their guard somewhat.The guard threw the things he took out on the ground, and pulled them apart to see that they were all purses filled with broken silver.

Is it really a thief? Hong Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, and gave the guard a wink. The two stepped forward and dragged the thief into the sedan chair with his mouth tied and his mouth gagged.

"If it's really just a thief..." Just don't kill anyone, Daiyu looked at Hongyun hesitantly, and felt that she shouldn't talk too much at this time, so she showed hesitation on her face.

"Don't worry, just in case, lock him up for a few days first, I won't take human life lightly." After comforting Daiyu, Hongyun comforted Ulan, "A little thief who wants to steal things while there are many people. "

Sending him back to Lin's house, Daiyu was still worried at the door, "Be careful along the way, in case he has accomplices."

Just now he was worried that he would kill him, but now he was worried that he would have accomplices come to trouble him.Hong Yun kept laughing and laughing, and Daiyu, who was laughing, felt terrified, and waved her hand in front of his eyes, "How much is this?"

"Why are you so cute?" Hong Yun grabbed her shaking little hand, his eyes curled up with a smile.

Only then did Daiyu realize that she had been cheated, she spat at him, and wanted to go in as soon as she stomped her feet.In the end, he forgot that he was still holding his hand, turned around and spun around and came back again, bumping his head into his arms, his forehead hitting his chest, making a muffled sound.

Hong Yun quickly hugged her tightly with both hands, seeing her lying limply in his arms, unexpectedly he didn't know anything about her, so he hurriedly called her name.He didn't dare to shake around, so he kept asking her, "Are you all right, are you all right? Don't scare me, wake up."

Daiyu, who closed her eyes, finally couldn't hold back her laughter. Hongyun was both angry and funny, "Naughty."

"Sister, have you said enough?" Jing Yu, who was supposed to enter the door early in the morning, popped up without saying a word, and found the outside of the gate, and Daiyu jumped out of Hong Yun's arms in fright.Fortunately, the place where they chose to bid farewell was a shadow that could not be illuminated by the light. Jing Yu just looked at the two people with uncomfortable expressions in doubt, and then angrily chased Hong Yun with his hands.

"Don't say any more, go back quickly."

After finishing speaking, he protected his sister and walked in, while still talking to Daiyu in a low voice.Angry Hong Yun's teeth itch, brat, it seems that he didn't bribe enough.

It wasn't until I went back that I found out that Lin Ruhai didn't go home at all, and Jia Min came back alone.Daiyu was a little worried, "Is nothing going to happen?"

"It's okay. Your father went to Prince Yong's Mansion and said that there is something to discuss. It's nothing serious. Go back to the house and rest." Seeing her mother's calm expression, Daiyu was also relieved.

The Xue family on the second day really did not disappoint. The green-clothed maid who entertained the guests with tea and snacks was also very interesting.Taking chrysanthemum as the theme, chrysanthemum roselle tea, the bright red roselle flower floats in the transparent tea cup, and a sip has a sweet taste.

In addition to the common chrysanthemum crisp chrysanthemum roll, there is also a new dish, chrysanthemum jelly.The transparent ball made of curd fat is about the size of a baby's fist, and there is a real chrysanthemum inside, which has attracted many wives and young ladies who couldn't bear to say anything.Watching it on a plate is already a kind of enjoyment.

Four pots of green chrysanthemums blooming just right in the greenhouse were also placed, and there were more than a dozen pots of yellow and pink-purple chrysanthemums, blooming gorgeously and colorfully, stretching layers of flowers and leaves, blooming proudly like a fairy .

Grandma Xue walked towards her almost with her head held high. Daiyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and snickered. When she got close, she teased her, "Sit down quickly and I'll rub it for you."

"Knead what?" The high-spirited momentum was suddenly punctured, and his face was inexplicable.

"Rub your neck, it's so sore."

"It's a little bit, uh, bah..." Grandma Xue hit her angrily with a handkerchief, and seeing Daiyu and Ulan who were laughing together, she couldn't help laughing.

Still showing off: "How about it, I arranged it well."

"It can't be better, it really is both civil and military, and even the handwriting looks a little bit." Daiyu said the truth. Shan Huai, who had no education since childhood, learned the rules after getting married. Appearance is not easy.

"It's okay to say anything else, it's just this word, it's really hard to die." Grandma Xue flicked her wrist unconsciously, holding a tripod was not as tiring as holding a brush.The fluffy brush needs to be able to write with a strong character. I have practiced calligraphy until now, and I have sweated more than I used ink.

"Even this is suitable for the scene." Ulan pointed to the chrysanthemum-shaped jade pendant hanging on Grandma Xue's waist.

The nets on this jade pendant are actually in the shape of a pair of shoes, almost exactly the same as the ones I saw last night.

"You made it yourself?" Daiyu asked. She thought that Grandma Xue didn't know how to be a female celebrity, so it would be best to buy it from outside, and she murmured silently in her heart.

"Of course, don't look down on people, I've been studying for a long time." Grandma Xue responded quite quickly. It turned out that in the place where she stayed before, the pronunciation of the word Xue and the word shoe are very similar.So she specially learned how to make shoe-shaped webbing, and finally succeeded after hard work.

Daiyu's heart sank, and she said "oh", "It's so easy to tie knots, and it's not like giving us a few knots, what kind of sisters."

"Oh my god, who knew you were so rare about this stuff, Xiaotao, hurry up and bring a basket here." Grandma Xue was very proud, obviously she also hit a lot.

"What are you doing so much for?" Daiyu felt more and more strange.

"It's so easy to learn, I don't want to do a few more to show off." Grandma Xue smiled without any scheming.

"Did you send anyone else recently?" The servant girl came very quickly, and she laid out a plate of nets, and they were all in the same pattern.After choosing carefully, Daiyu asked casually.

"Yes, a fellow villager came, and I gave him one." Grandma Xue was very proud, and continued to say without waiting for anyone to ask: "He is the only talented person in our cottage who can write and count. Clever. No matter what you do, your brain turns very fast. I asked him to go to Beijing with me, but he refused, but now he is here."

"And then?" Daiyu frowned even more. How could the people in the cottage go to Jinling to be a thief, and if they found Shanhuai, they would still be short of food for him.Shanhuai must not have known about his theft, so Daiyu decided not to tell her for the time being, lest she be sad.

"Run away. He said that he is used to freedom and doesn't want to be restrained. Who cares about him, anyway, he will naturally come to me when he is hungry. Whoever called me the village owner, I don't care who cares about him." Grandma Xue didn't take this seriously. The people in the cottage are different from the young masters in Jinling. Even if they are penniless, they can't starve to death even if they throw it away in a random place.

The truth is so simple, Daiyu couldn't laugh or cry, when she sent Ulan back, she squeezed her palm, "Show your elder brother this knot, and tell him it was Grandma Xue who hit it." I believe he saw this I understand, for the sake of Grandma Xue, I warned him not to commit another crime, so let him go.

Hongyun got the Luozi to check, and found that this person was Zhang Duo, and he really came out of the tent from the cottage.

"You are a literate accountant, and you have Grandma Xue as your backer. You shouldn't have stolen. You would never tell me that this is your hobby." Hong Yun asked him for his confession.

"What Grandma Xue, I don't know, I don't know what you are talking about at all?" Zhang Duo looked puzzled.

"Pretend, keep pretending, do you want me to invite Grandma Xue to recognize it. Let her know what you have done, and see what she has to say, how about it?"

"Don't, don't, the village master will kill me." Zhang Duo hugged his head, apparently terrified of Grandma Xue.What does it mean to drop ten meetings with one force? No matter how eloquent he is, he can't resist a solid punch from others. This is ten meetings with one force.

Zhang Duo drooped his head, and confessed that he was used to being lazy, didn't want to work hard, and felt that stealing was easier.But now he knew he was wrong, give him a chance, he will not do it again in the future.

It sounded reasonable, Hong Yun rubbed his chin, noncommittal.

"Since you want to be a thief, why come to Jinling? Do you think the guards here won't catch thieves?" Hongyun's servant shouted loudly.

Hongyun's mind suddenly cleared up, no wonder he always felt that it was against harmony.This sound of drinking is really enlightening. A thief can't go anywhere. Is he really easy to bully when he is a servant under the emperor's feet?

But Zhang Duo refused to speak, and it was useless to threaten him with Grandma Xue.Hongyun temporarily locked him in the firewood room and sent someone to guard him.Unexpectedly, he got used to it very well, he ate and slept, and didn't worry about escaping at all.

Only after Daiyu came back from Xue's house did she know what happened on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, that is, yesterday.The virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun had a miscarriage, crying and complaining that she was murdered.

"When did she get pregnant?" Daiyu recalled, as if she had never heard the news.

"It hasn't been three months yet, so I've kept it a secret. I didn't expect to be so careless." Jia Min sighed, Yuan Chun is her niece, although she rarely sees her, she still has feelings.

Knowing that his concubine had miscarried, it was normal for the emperor to return to the palace early, but his father would not go to Prince Yong's mansion because of this incident.

"It is said that the miscarriage was caused by eating the fruits and vegetables sent by Prince Yong Fujin." Jia Min couldn't help rubbing his forehead, "What is all this, a Prince Fujin, what did you do to you, you don't know whether you were born a boy or a girl Well, he is a prince, so what can he do."

Jia Min wanted to say that her niece was not sensible, but when she thought about her current status, she choked again.But the fact is before everyone's eyes, the emperor is over 60 years old, how many years will it be before this child is born to adulthood.At that time, who is the emperor is still a matter of debate. This child is at most an idle royal family. What can he do to a prince? If he eats too much, he will deal with you.

"Has the second aunt entered the palace?"

"I've handed over the brochure, and said it will be announced in a few days. By the way, I should go back and ask my second sister-in-law to persuade Concubine Xiande. Such groundless accusations are not acceptable." Jia Min became excited as she spoke, wishing she could not wait now just go.

"Mother, how many years has my cousin been in the palace? If she hasn't made any progress at all, can she be in this position? You say that everyone understands the truth, so why do you know that my cousin doesn't understand, and my second aunt doesn't understand." Daiyu pulled Live in Jia Min.

"But, but why did she do this?" Jia Min didn't understand what good it would be for her to blame Prince Fujin.

"It's impossible for a person like her to do things for no reason. Just don't get involved, and the second aunt probably won't listen to it."

Jia Min's face turned pale, which was a tacit agreement.In the future, I will not mention this matter again, and there is no so-called reminder to go back to my mother's house.

Daiyu went to find her father again, and Lin Ruhai said very simply, "Prince Yong and his wife like to grow some vegetables and fruits in their own house, and sent a basket to the palace. The imperial chef made a dish of cold salad, and the emperor liked the taste." Let them add one to Concubine Xiande at night. As a result, at night, she became popular, insisting that the fetal gas caused by eating this dish hurt her baby. The people in the imperial dining room have already interrogated, what? Didn't even ask."

"I can't find evidence for this kind of thing. If she bites her mouth and white teeth, as long as it is true that she lost the child, this bite will be three points." Daiyu was a little suspicious, she deliberately used the miscarriage to set the blame Prince Yong, but is it really worth sacrificing one's own child in order to blame him?How much benefit is it worth for her to do this?

Lin Ruhai actually had the same suspicion, but everyone was the same, and couldn't find a reason why she was willing to sacrifice a prince.The emperor has reached this age, and none of the concubines in the harem has been pregnant for several years. She finally conceived a child, even if she is an emperor, the emperor must be very happy, there is no reason to do so.

"Could it be that she wasn't pregnant at all?"

Lin Ruhai immediately denied, "How can it be so easy, the imperial doctor cannot fail to see it."

If the imperial doctor was bribed, or if she couldn't keep the baby, she might as well use it.

"I'll try to find a way to ask." Lin Ruhai thought for a while, but still felt that it was unlikely, but decided to inquire about it based on the principle of not letting it go.

No one knew what was going on, everyone thought that Concubine Xiande had lost her mind and framed Prince Fujin, but the emperor just asked Concubine De to discipline her daughter-in-law.The angry Prince Yong Fujin trembled, entered the palace with heavy makeup, knelt outside Defei's palace, and knelt for an hour.

Prince Yong is such a restrained and introverted person, he locked himself in the study and smashed all the antiques on the shelf.Then he personally drove to pick Fujin back to his residence. The husband and wife held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes.

Concubine Xiande offended Prince Yong to the point of death. Daiyu felt sorry for her, thinking that it is no wonder that after your death, the new emperor ascended the throne and Jia's mansion was confiscated.This beam is considered to be knotted, even the gods can't untie it.

Because of the low pressure of this incident, the Lin family was also affected. Jia Min was worried that Prince Yong would anger Lin Ruhai.

"Concubine Xiande is also the daughter of the Jia family. She is my natal family. Prince Yong Fujin has suffered such a big loss. Tell me, will it implicate your father?"

"If mother is so worried, why don't you go to Prince Yong's mansion in person. You don't have to worry about your father, Prince Yong is definitely not a person who doesn't care about everything."

"You're right. I really should go. Even if she doesn't see me, at least I have to show my attitude." Jia Min went to pack the presents. Daiyu thought about it and asked someone to send a message to Ulan.

In the afternoon, I met Hong Yun in the restaurant owned by Master Thirteen, and Daiyu asked him straight to the point, "How about your deception?"

Hong Yun thought about the progress, "The Shen family took a trick and went to see Uncle Sanhuang. Later, I heard that Uncle Sanhuang found a literati who could imitate fonts and kept him at home, saying that he imitated some collection of poems for him. I Look, the imitation of the poetry anthology is fake, but the imitation of that thing is true.”

"When are you going to explode?"

"what do you mean?"

Daiyu nodded, "The current situation is very unfavorable to Prince Yong, so release him earlier to help him out."

"Ants kill elephants, and Ama is also saying that if this matter continues to simmer, the situation will become very unfavorable." Just like the broken window theory, when Prince Yong was doing well, no one dared to do anything to him.Once the first brick is thrown and it hits.

Then, the remaining people, the enemies who hide in the darkness, or those who hide in the darkness to clear obstacles for themselves, will jump out.As long as the emperor has doubts about him, under the siege of more and more people, the wound will be torn wider and wider.And the bigger the wound, the more blood it bleeds, and the more wolves it will attract.

"Is the time ripe? You have to hit it right away." Daiyu wanted to save Prince Yong from the siege, and at the same time she wanted to relieve the pressure on her father.Who knows if my father was the one who was left behind and used as a scapegoat on the last mile.

"There should be no problem. They don't know that others know about their plan. It has been going smoothly." It was so smooth that he felt that Uncle Sanhuang's handle was the meat on the felt board, and he could grab it at any time and cut it with a knife.

"But don't worry, before I do it, I will definitely use the last nail to see what he wrote. I will not do it until I am sure." Hong Yun explained that although it went smoothly, he will not take it lightly.

"I hope everything goes well." Daiyu chuckled, if this matter can be successful, then Hongyun will be able to win a favor in the eyes of Prince Yong. There is still a difference between a nephew who likes and a nephew who likes and is capable.

But in fact, things didn't go well, and the last nail didn't find out what the person was copying.

"Master, if you can't find it, doesn't it mean that what he wrote is not well-known? If it is really an imitation of a collection of poems, there is nothing you can't let people read." , the more secure.

"It's not a trivial matter, you can't take it for granted." Hong Yun gave him a sidelong glance, and the man's neck shrank in fright, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Master, there is news about Zhang Duo." Seeing this, someone hurriedly changed the subject.

"Zhang Duo, what's the news?" After thinking for a while, Hong Yun realized that before Zhang Duo confessed, he ordered to go down to investigate his past affairs, but Zhang Duo's affairs had already been revealed, and it was meaningless to investigate. up.

The people below didn't know, and they still wanted to hear it as their master, so they immediately replied: "After he left the village, he first worked as a tent for others, and then went to learn Manchu. The local people said that he wanted to go to Jinling to find the village master. , but I heard that Jinling is dominated by Manchus, so he learned Manchu in order not to embarrass their village master."

Hong Yun didn't want to hear it at first, but since the servant opened his mouth, it doesn't hurt to listen to a few words by the way.Hearing that he was learning Manchu, he couldn't help but said: "What kind of mess is this? Learning Manchu has nothing to do with losing face."

The servant smiled apologetically, "Who knows what these people who are used to being bandits think, maybe they haven't been to Jinling before, so they think Manchu is spoken here."

Well, it is also possible that many people in remote mountainous areas thought that the emperor could eat three big pancakes a day, and it was difficult to explain it to them.

"After he learned Manchu, he received a job to help a rich family copy scriptures in Manchu. Then he quit his job and left. No one in the local area knew where he went." The servant finished. , patted his head a little pardoningly, and talked for a long time, but there was nothing useful at all.

"Didn't you mention his theft?" Hong Yun thought in confusion.

"No, I haven't mentioned a single word." Seeing Hong Yun flicking his fingers, the servants restrained their breathing, trying not to affect the master's thinking.

If a person is a habit of stealing, how could the person who inquired about the news fail to find out.If he wasn't used to stealing, why would he choose to steal things in Jinling? Grandma Xue, who is extremely rich, would never mind giving him money as long as she asked.

In addition, what is the matter of copying Buddhist scriptures? Since there is work, it should not be stolen.And about this job, this kid didn't reveal a word, not even Grandma Xue.Why is this, invisible, or not worth mentioning.

Hong Yun is a little hesitant, because the most important thing now is obviously the pitfalls of Uncle Sanhuang, but this matter clearly reveals that there is something inside, and I really wish I could get eight hands out.When I first left the elder brother's house, the difficult situation when I was doing business with people outside appeared again.I don't know how long it will take him to figure it out this time.

"Ama." It was already late at night, and Hongyun didn't expect that Ama would pay a sudden visit.

"The lights are on every day until midnight, have you encountered a problem?" Thirteenth Master looked at his son with a smile, thinking in his heart, there are still 89 days until the wedding, this child is probably counting the days.

Wait, who calculated the 89 days, and who is counting the days, he will not answer.

"Yes, there are not enough people." Hong Yun frowned, hoping that his father could look more carefully.

"In the past, when doing business, there were not enough manpower. What happened later? You are an elder brother, you just need to show your strength, and there are many people who come to you. You just need to pick the best ones and train them yourself. You are not stupid. Talents are never cultivated, and being able to be cultivated means that he is born to be the person you need."

The Thirteenth Master spoke in a set way. Hong Yun, who was always able to bluff before, was taken aback for a while, but gradually he couldn't be bluffed anymore.

"Ama, if two things are in front of you, one tells you that it is important with facts, and the other tells you with intuition that it is important, what should you do?"

"No matter which one to do, it's better than staying here and thinking foolishly." Thirteenth Lord occasionally has the light of wisdom shining.

Hong Yun jumped up, "Ama is right, thank you Ama."

"Hey, you really don't plan to talk to me about how you feel about marrying a wife. If you can't sleep, do you have premarital phobia? Don't worry, it's all a disease. Tell me, and I'll come..."

"Ama, I'm not sick." Hong Yun protested.

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you are sick, Ama will treat you."

"I still have something to do, so I'll get busy first."

"It's midnight, what can you do?"

"Interrogation of prisoners."
