Red Mansions: No Tears

Lin Daiyu walked down the stairs slowly, glanced at Zicuckoo who she ordered to wait downstairs, walked out of the door, then turned another corner, walked towards the garden, and stopped until she reached the gazebo .

"Girl just saw that she didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food, do you want to go back to the house and eat something? Or should I ask the little girl to bring the food here?" Zijuan cautiously asked.

Zijuan could know that since returning to Lin's house, Lin Daiyu's attitude towards her was much colder, but she couldn't figure out what she did wrong after thinking about it for a long time. Old servant, convey what Jia Mu told her.

Zijuan originally thought that Jia Min had been married to the Lin family for more than ten years, and that the dowry she brought would be able to control some of the Lin family's private property. She did not expect to ask a few people, but the news she got back was quite disappointing, not that there was no Jia Min. Min’s dowry was arranged to work in the property under the name of Lin’s family, but few of them could stand alone, even if they were capable enough to climb up to the management position, the shops and Zhuangzi managed by them were not as profitable as Jia Min’s own dowry Zhuangzi. Well, even if those properties were moved to the Rongguo Mansion, they would not be of much use, not to mention that none of those people knew how much the Lin family had.

"Let Baixiang go to the kitchen and let them make Sixi steamed dumplings and crab noodle soup dumplings...By the way, make an extra copy and send it to Jiang Qiye in the guest house. I think he probably didn't eat much like me." Lin Daiyu touched the flat Flat belly, if Zijuan didn't mention it, she really couldn't remember not only being so patronizing with Lin Ruhai's cheap father, she was so angry that she even forgot to mention the fact that she was hungry, and she seemed to be neglecting the guests up.

"Hey!" Zijuan hurriedly turned around and called the little girl Baixiang who was standing not far away, and said Lin Daiyu's words again. It seems that there is no improvement, do you want to ask Lin Steward to find out if there are other doctors in the Jiangnan area?"

"I have suggested this to Butler Lin, but not all famous and capable doctors are willing to go all the way to see a doctor, unless Dad comes to see a doctor in person..." Lin Daiyu stopped here, Look very gloomy.

In the eyes of the common people, local officials in ancient times seemed to be all great, and they could be domineering and majestic in their own territory, but in fact...they had no freedom at all. It is sparsely populated, not to mention other places, just referring to Yangzhou. The distance between each county is actually quite far. It takes a few days to go back and forth between any two counties. Ancient officials did not have long holidays. Even if there are field leave, clothing leave, etc., in fact, it is just a few more days of sleep at home. For many people, it is definitely not enough to go back to their hometown. It is no wonder that many people once do After becoming an official, I have been away from home for more than ten years. Unfortunately, when an elder in my family passed away, I can only resign directly and return to my hometown to observe filial piety. Only a few lucky (?) will be retained by the emperor, because the king is greater than the relatives. ,

It is the underground activities that everyone is familiar with, such as collusion between the imperial court and local officials, accepting and giving bribes, etc. The local officials have to wait for someone from the capital to come before they can find a way to get involved, otherwise... who knows you Which onion, which garlic? !

Lin Ruhai's current situation actually made Lin Daiyu feel helpless, because although she knew most of the direction of the world, she didn't bring her own golden fingers, and she had never learned medical skills in her past and present lives, and she didn't have the ability to go against the sky. Space Treasure, the only conceivable way is to look for famous doctors everywhere, and seek a chance to treat Lin Ruhai. Maybe if you are lucky, you will meet a doctor who can prescribe the right medicine.

However, everyone knows that the more famous people in this world, the more airs they put on and the more problems they have. Even if they really find a so-called famous doctor, the Lin family wants to invite him to Yangzhou from that unknown place to replace him. It may not be so easy for Lin Ruhai to see a doctor. If he refuses to go out, can he still be tied up?I'm not afraid that the other party will come up with a prescription that will kill people! !Of course, Lin Ruhai could also drag his dying body to see a doctor?It's a pity that there is a big problem here, as long as Lin Ruhai has not stepped down from his official position as a patrol officer, he will have to stay in Yangzhou for a day and can't go anywhere, unless he doesn't plan to be an official anymore, but he doesn't want to be an official. Being an officer is not that simple.

The inspector of salt and censor is a very important and sensitive position in any dynasty, because although its official rank is only a small seven-rank, but the power it holds is anyone...including the emperor. So the emperor You must find someone you can trust to take up this position, otherwise one day your treasury will be emptied, and the emperor will be embarrassed if he doesn't know it! !Since Lin Ruhai was able to sit in this position, it was naturally because the emperor trusted him. In the era of imperial power, people who are trusted by the supreme usually have only one ending, which is called "devotion and death". Therefore, the result of Lin Ruhai's death in office, Obviously necessary and difficult to change.

Lin Daiyu and Zijuan were waiting in the small gazebo for the little maid to bring the dinner, but the dinner was delayed, Lin Daiyu also unexpectedly saw Aunt Wu who came uninvited, and Aunt Wu brought the maid she had seen last time. Chunyun walked slowly towards the small gazebo.

"Why is the eldest girl sitting here? Are you recovering from your illness? Zijuan, you know that the eldest girl is not in good health, but you fell ill just after you came back. How can you still spoil her? You are not afraid to wait until you return to Beijing. If the old lady finds out, she will punish you." Aunt Wu gave Zijuan an annoyed look in the tone of a caring and kind elder.

"I tried to persuade the girl just now, but the girl didn't listen! What else can I do? The weather is getting hotter, and the girl doesn't go out often, so it's good to go out for a walk once in a while, to get some fresh air." Zijuan said vaguely replied.

"That's right, it's really wrong for the eldest girl to hide in the house. How about going out for a walk when you have nothing to do?" Aunt Wu smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. Yu'er already feels much better. It is because she has been bored in the house for a long time that she thought of going for a walk in the garden. Auntie also came out to breathe?" Lin Daiyu smiled and asked lightly. .

"Oh~ I really came out to breathe. The master's illness dragged on day by day, but no one can give an accurate answer. I once wanted to go to the temple to offer incense, but the master refused and scolded me. After a while, I couldn’t figure it out. Didn’t my wife often do this before? On the [-]th day of every lunar month, my wife would go to the temple to offer incense and money as a way of expressing her gratitude... However, I also thought about it later. However, could it be that the master felt that although his wife was very sincere in worshiping the Buddha during her lifetime, she still failed to leave an heir for him, and she was taken away by the gods early on? He thought that he was unwilling and no longer believed in the immortal Buddha That's why I'm not allowed to go because I can protect the mortals?" Aunt Wu sighed heavily, then looked at Lin Daiyu, and said with great compassion.

"Oh..." Lin Daiyu replied lightly, as a junior, it is not easy to talk about elders' affairs, and of course she would not criticize anything, but just thought about how Aunt Wu was so obvious today. What is the real intention behind deliberately blocking her move?

Lin Daiyu looked at Aunt Wu silently, while secretly thinking about the news that Ziyun had inquired for her these days: Aunt Wu's name was Yueli, she was originally Jia Min's dowry maid, and she began to serve Jia Min since she was a child. Min believed that before Jia Min offered her face to Lin Ruhai as an aunt, she was responsible for taking care of Jia Min's clothes and jewelry. Later, when she was promoted to be an aunt, Yueyao, who was promoted from a second-class maid, was responsible for that job. After all, the maids who came here have been together for many years, so after coming to the Lin family, they will naturally form a group and face the open and secret struggles with the original Lin family servants together, so Aunt Wu, Yue Yao and another manager The three people, Yueqiong from Jia Min's private room, had very close contacts.

Ziyun also said that Yue Qiong was later released by Jia Min to marry a local family in Yangzhou with an ordinary family background. She had followed her husband to work in Sichuan a few years ago, and no one had ever heard of any contact with her, so no one Knowing what she is like now, Yueyao was only released after Jia Min's death. However, she does not know where she went. Mother Qiu guessed that she might go to Jinling to join her parents, because it is said that her parents went back to Jinling many years ago. Guard Jia's old house.

After such an analysis, Lin Daiyu immediately understood one thing. Aunt Wu, who used to be Jia Min's maid, obviously had a good idea of ​​the geometry of Jia Min's private house, so what did she want to do now?

Just as Lin Daiyu suppressed the suspicion in her heart, Aunt Wu said again: "The eldest girl fell ill just after she came back. Thinking about it, she never went to offer incense for the wife, did she? Back then, the eldest girl asked the old lady to pick her up. After going to the capital to be rehabilitated, the master ordered Nanny Wen not to change the bedroom where his wife lived before, and did not let anyone come into the house to clean it. Anyway, it is something that his wife gave birth to, even if it can only be used as a little thought in the future. It’s better than just laying it there like this, the eldest girl should go to ask the master for favors, let him allow you to look at the things left by the wife again, logically speaking, those also belong to the eldest girl.”

"How does Aunt Wu know that I haven't visited my mother's former residence after I came back? Because my father said that it is the only place where he can miss his mother now, so he doesn't want to let other people in, and only agrees that I go in and walk around So in the middle of the night before yesterday, I asked Mother Wen to accompany me to go shopping for a while." After hearing this, Lin Daiyu immediately understood that Aunt Wu's real purpose was hidden in these words.

Most of the small objects in Jia Min’s house were married from her natal family. The memories left by the original owner show that in the past two years, when she was with her grandmother, she had overheard the women and maids discussing her mother’s marriage many times. How rich was the dowry at that time... Aunt Wu used to be her mother's dowry maid, and she knew it well when she thought about it. As long as it is an individual, facing so many glittering treasures for many years, who can not feel a little bit moved?Not to mention the people who came out of Jia's house, all of them have greed and desire in their bones, just look at Aunt Wu in front of them, and then look at those servants of Jia's family who are around these days. Do you think everyone in the Lin family is a fool?Think no one will notice those little tricks?

But yes, in the original book, Lin Daiyu was only worried about Lin Ruhai's illness, and never thought that the servants she had spent money to support would betray her, so in the end, Jia Lian wanted to move the entire Lin family, let alone Jia Lian. The mother also coaxed Lin Ruhai with her precious bumps, making Lin Ruhai think that everything in the Lin family was going to be brought into Jia's house as a dowry for Lin Daiyu anyway, and would it be given sooner or later?So just throw all the brains to Jia Lian, and Lin Daiyu will end up in a situation where both people and money are empty.

Aunt Wu didn't expect Lin Daiyu to give her such a powerful answer. She turned her head to look at Zijuan in astonishment, and found that Zijuan also had an inexplicable astonishment. ?How could it be that the eldest girl went out of the room in the middle of the night, and Zijuan, as a personal servant girl, didn't know at all?Could it be that the eldest girl heard something, so she started to become suspicious of the people in Rongguo's mansion?If this is the case, how will Zicuckoo complete the old lady's confession? ?
