[Red Mansion] February is the season of wishing

When she came to her senses, the people in the Lin family had already resigned and left.

After a while, someone reported again: "Master Lin invited Daiyu to stay in the Lin residence for two days."

Sitting in the high chair of the Rongxi Hall, Jia's mother dropped her glass and said angrily, "Didn't you say that Mr. Lin is busy with state affairs!"

There were staggered sounds of fighting outside, accompanied by suppressed screams and exclamations.

The footsteps gradually approached.

A man with the appearance of a familiar general walked into the Rongxi Hall, took out the memorial, and read it: "...the family property will be inspected today, the man will be detained, and the woman will stay in the mansion for the time being. After being convicted, they will be dealt with together."

The people in the Lin family laughed and said: "The Jia family has something to do, the girl from the Lin family should naturally take refuge temporarily."

The general nodded and said: "Now the gates are guarded and all places are under control. After the Lin family girl packs her luggage and goes out, the house will be ransacked."

A daughter-in-law with a stern face suddenly laughed sharply: "Aren't you afraid that the Lin family will bring out the evidence that can convict the Jia family?"

The general sneered and said, "How does the Jia family treat Ms. Lin? As we all know, how can the Lin family still help the Jia family?" After saying that, he waved his hand, "Take control of those people, and don't pollute Ms. Lin's ears."

The female servant who came out of the palace immediately came in from outside the house, detained the daughter-in-law, gagged her, and dragged her out.

An aunt, dressed in palace attire and wearing a woman's hair in a bun, bowed to Jia's mother and said, "Madam, I've offended you."

Jia Mumu stared blankly and listened. After a while, he vomited blood and fainted.

Before she fainted, her last thoughts were fragmented and complicated.

Those who came out of the palace... ransacked the house... the face saint... the minister of the household department...

The moment before her mind fell into darkness, she understood the reason why Lin Ruhai disappeared for these three or four days.

Lin Daiyu rested in the Lin Mansion, and the next day, the old servant of the Lin family reported to her the news of the Jia Mansion.

Many ornaments and curiosities of the Lin family were copied from the treasury of the Rongning Second Mansion and the private treasury of the old servants for many years. According to the list given by Lin Ruhai, all they could find were put into boxes and carried back to the Lin Mansion. a capital.

He also copied out some gold and silver treasures bestowed by the imperial concubine Yuan. Baoqin has already confessed to the crime of communicating outside the palace, and the first crime is Jia Mu.

He also copied some belongings of the convicted Zhen family, and the crime of hiding cannot escape.

Then copied out some vouchers and ledgers of the big and small Wangs making profits.

In the end, some embarrassing things were copied...

Thinking of Master Lin's entrustment, the old servant of the Lin family bit the bullet and finished speaking.

The general kept no secrets, and strictly followed the process of confiscating the house. Finally, in the Yihong Courtyard, he copied the property of King Beijing, Qi Guaner, Qin Zhong, Xiang Lian Yu Ai, Liu Xianglian, Baochai, and some others. Unrecognizable personal items.Sweat towels, handkerchiefs, strings, the list goes on.

Lin Daiyu listened, her little face was pale, she sat firmly on her seat, but felt that the whole world was shaking before her eyes.

She was sitting upright and said after a while, "I... know."

The family style of the Lin family was quiet, and the servants didn't talk badly.The old servant of the Lin family didn't say anything more, let alone a word of criticism.Just laying out the facts.

Lin Daiyu didn't ask how the old servant of the Lin family got the detailed information, just like she followed the advice yesterday and packed up all her things and left Jia's mansion without saying much.

After a while, she said: "Please let the guards of Jia's mansion treat the girls in the garden seriously, and don't let the news about Miss Xue spread."

The old servant of the Lin family laughed knowingly: "They are all in the same garden. When I was young, I took a handkerchief by mistake when I was ignorant. There are also some. The old servant will go here."

Lin Daiyu nodded.

……

The Grand View Garden has been sealed off, because it is the garden where Concubine Yuan visited relatives, after the house was raided, no one was sent in to guard it, it was only guarded around the garden, like an iron bucket.

After Zijuan was sent to serve Jia Baoyu, she was able to coax Jia Baoyu to say something like "Miss Lin will not leave" at the beginning, and her status was detached.However, when Daiyu declared that she wanted to be served by another person instead of Zicuckoo, her position became awkward.

She who no longer serves Daiyu, in Jia Baoyu's eyes, is no different from ordinary sisters.She was awarded the second class in the regulations, but the struggle in the Yihong courtyard was fierce, and it was difficult for her to get started, and she was quickly squeezed out of the house, so she could only go to the porch to do some bird-feeding work.

Jia Baoyu didn't know why Daiyu didn't want Zijuan, but if Lin Daiyu didn't like it, he didn't like it either. When he sent people to deliver things to Daiyu, he only sent Qingwen there.

Zijuan has foolish loyalty, and she felt guilty that what she said about trying jade made Daiyu sad, thinking that it doesn't matter if she is rejected, as long as Lin Daiyu can marry Jia Baoyu, and she can see Lin Daiyu happy, that's enough.

Then, the mansion named Guogong's Mansion collapsed, and Baoyu was caught in the prison.She was trapped in the Yihong Courtyard with a bunch of maids who didn't agree with each other, looking at each other with fear.

The quickest reaction here was Xiren. A few days ago, after hearing that the Xue family had moved out of Lixiangyuan, they immediately entrusted someone to ask for grace.Qiu Wen also wanted to run, but was caught at the door, and his life and death were unknown.

Qingwen was frightened and fell ill, lying in bed all day long in a daze.Musk Moon bit the bullet and led the whole courtyard, but the courtyard was still in chaos for a while.

I was searched, can we not be chaotic?

Zicuckoo unexpectedly also sneaked into the house, following his memory, opened the box and cabinet where Jia Baoyu put his things, and put the lost things such as the handkerchief that Daiyu gave him into his sleeve pocket.The others were put back as they were.

Thankfully it wasn't found.

Zijuan went back and locked Daiyu's things in her box before lying on the bed panting.

Only then did she dare to think about it, and she gasped in her heart.She seems to have seen something about Miss Xue?

Before he had time to think about it, a female servant kicked in the door and ordered: "See if she is as sick as that girl."

Zijuan hurriedly said that she was not sick, and followed the fan servants to the shaded place in the courtyard to be guarded together with the maids.

Someone clicked their tongues and sighed: "Qingwen is really lucky, she is still allowed to rest in the house."

Another person smiled and said, "Don't pretend to be sick, they brought a doctor."

Another sighed: "With such a good attitude, maybe the Jia family will be fine?"

Hope suddenly rose in everyone's heart.But the guard who was guarding immediately sneered: "The evidence of the Jia family's crimes is convincing, and the results of the disposition will come down in a few days! It was Miss Lin who kindly ordered you to arrange for you, don't recognize the wrong benefactor!"

Another fan servant said with a sneer: "Miss Lin is even their parents. They have copied a lot of the Lin family's property from Jia's mansion. I don't know who has lost their conscience and said that Miss Lin is fostered in Jia's mansion and eats food. Live in Jia's mansion!"

Everyone was in an uproar and sighed immediately.Zicuckoo listened with mixed feelings in her heart.Only then did she discover that Miss Lin did not have a good result only if she married Baoyu.

……

Lin Ruhai had a face-to-face a few times, and asked the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment to drink tea a few times, and the results of Jia's punishment came out soon.

Both Ningrong and Rongfu's titles were confiscated, Jia Zhen beheaded the prison guard, Jia pardoned Jia Zheng for three thousand miles, Jia Lian Wang Xifeng for two thousand miles, and Mrs. Wang for one thousand miles.Xue Pan's beating to death was exposed. Xue Pan's stick was eighty, and he traveled a thousand miles; Jia Yucun won the official, with a stick of sixty.In addition, Jia Rong and the rest of the Jia family's children all won the official position, thanks to everyone's reputation as a scholar.Jia's mother was given preferential treatment, and allowed to return to the historian to be enshrined as the wife of the Duke's Mansion.

Concubine Jia Yuan took off her hairpin to be punished. She was found to be pregnant and was temporarily confined to raise her baby.The Grand View Garden was taken back, the Rongguo Mansion was restructured into the Jia Mansion, and the rest, Jia Lan Jia Baoyu and others, were acquitted.

The Sun family pushed back the marriage and clamored for dowry money. Only Li Wan and Mrs. Xing were left to make decisions in the Rongguo Mansion, and they both let go.

When Lin Daiyu heard about it, she sighed, and said, "Go and tell the Sun family that he is in the wrong for retiring the marriage. Asking for the gift money is not a hindrance to etiquette, but it is not in harmony with the situation." She thought for a while, "Give Li a message, Jia Lan will continue to study in the future, so she can't bear the reputation of being indifferent."

The Lin family took orders.The next day, I heard that Li Wan forcibly extorted 3000 taels of silver from Mrs. Xing, the big house, took sister Qiao away, and sent the Sun family away.

A few days later, Li Wan quickly arranged a cousin for Yingchun.

Lin Daiyu was amazed.

For the second half of Jia's life, she helped arrange the past one by one. Even Xichun wanted to become a nun, she arranged for the famous temple that the queen often enshrines.

After Lin Ruhai found out, he was filled with emotion and asked the Lin family to act according to Daiyu's wish.

The Lin family took orders, and said again: "The Wang family of the Xue family is discussing with the Xing family of the Jia family recently, and they intend to betroth Miss Xue to Jia Baoyu...Do you want to tell the lady?"

Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll go and tell her in person."

……

Lin Ruhai was quite disturbed.

He knew that Lin Daiyu was imprisoned everywhere in Jia's mansion and suffered from time to time, so that he chanted such sad words as chanting burial flowers.As a father, he is quite dereliction of duty.Now, Daiyu's body is even more...

Lin Ruhai didn't want to force Daiyu to behave like ordinary people in the world, knowing that Daiyu and Baoyu had deep feelings, when she went to see Daiyu, her tone was a bit cautious.

"The Xue family intends to marry the Jia family, and the Xue Wang family has already negotiated with the Jia Xing family."

Lin Daiyu frowned.

Lin Ruhai's heart skipped a beat, thinking, although she didn't find Daiyu's body from Yihong Courtyard, but sure enough...

But Lin Daiyu frowned for a while, then slowly said: "Why does the Xue family want to marry the Jia family? The Jia family has clearly fallen."

Lin Ruhai sighed and said with a smile: "The Xue family is even more in decline now. Xue Pan is in prison, and the Xia family knocked out most of the Xue family's wealth and left to recruit a son-in-law. Looking around, Jia Baoyu is the best choice for the Xue Wang family."

For Mrs. Xing, the Xue family is also the best choice, as his family has a lot of money.

Lin Daiyu understood, but she just gritted her silver teeth and said firmly, "No."

Lin Ruhai didn't speak, and looked at Daiyu patiently, waiting for her daughter to say the follow-up words.

Daiyu said with a cold face, "Jia Baoyu has a good relationship with men like the King of Beijing. Sister Bao must have been troubled in the past. But it's hard to say about the marriage, so just tell the Xue family about it, that's all."

Lin Ruhai was taken aback by her daughter's frankness.Daiyu had already asked him, "How are you?"

Lin Ruhai hurriedly said: "Very good, very good." He sent someone to tell.

Half a day later, the man came back and said: "Miss Xue sent a piece of paper back." After speaking, he handed over a letter.

Daiyu unfolded it and read:

"May I take advantage of the wind to rise to the blue clouds, but the rain blows the wind and sinks into the ditch"
