[Red Chamber] Daiyu's Rebirth Without Regrets

14,

Everything in the mansion was left to the butler Lin, and before Daiyu left, she arranged for Yan Gui to pretend to be guarding the mansion and discuss everything with the butler.

Early the next morning, Daiyu followed Takasaki to Beijing in men's attire.

Besides, Lin Ruhai from the Lin family has gone, so there is a big funeral, butler Lin is also very dedicated. There are quite a few officials and colleagues present, and it is deeply sad to see the orphan girl in sackcloth and mourning.

Daiyu's journey was not unhappy, but she was obsessed with it. Daiyu always thought of her father's loyalty to the country, but in the end he died so early, so she felt a little bit aggrieved.

I don't know if it was because of thoughts in her heart, but Daiyu's journey went quite smoothly, and she arrived in the capital earlier than expected.

Gao Qi looked at Lin Daiyu's busy life, and thought it would be better to take a rest, but Daiyu was unwilling.As early as in Gaoqi, Yangzhou, she had said that if Daiyu wanted to enter the palace, she could not enter it explicitly, and Daiyu understood this truth.

Not long after, Daiyu changed into the guard's clothes, which looked a bit too big, so Daiyu simply cut off the too long hem and sleeves with a pair of scissors, which was neat and tidy.

That night, Gao Qi brought several guards into the palace, Gao Qi had a token to come in and out at any time, and the gatekeeper let him go without saying anything.

The palace was very quiet at night, Daiyu felt that she had been walking behind Gao Qi for a long time, and on the way, an eunuch came over and said a few words to Gao Qi.

Walking through a row of fences and turning a few more turns, I heard Gao Qi say to several people: "Please let me know."

He only heard a shrill voice and said with a smile: "Guard Gao is here, the emperor has been waiting for two days." Then he went inside

.Daiyu slightly raised her head and took a look, she seemed to have come to the emperor's office.

I saw the man enter the house, and let Gao Qi in after a while.Takasaki asked the others to wait, and took Daiyu into the house.

As soon as she entered the door, Daiyu saw human-shaped candlesticks around her, and only smelled a scent of ink. Seeing that Daiyu lowered her head and dared not look at it, Gao Qi hurriedly said in a low voice, "Just wait here, and you will be here soon." I can see the emperor now."

Only then did Daiyu realize that this was just an outhouse, and her tense heart immediately relaxed.

There were only two court ladies standing at the door, and Daiyu stood by herself, not daring to move more, and only touched the ledger in her sleeve.I can't hear the sound inside, and it's too quiet here, as if I can hear the heartbeat.

Daiyu forced herself to be quiet, and it took a long time before she heard a message from someone inside, saying that the person standing outside was to come in. "

Daiyu looked left and right, and then walked in slowly.Walking past two rows of bookshelves, she saw Gao Qi standing in front, and a middle-aged man sitting in the middle, Daiyu didn't dare to look at it, she knelt down and said, "Minister sees the emperor."

The emperor glanced at Gao Qi, seeing that Gao Qi looked at Dai Yu full of sympathy, thinking that Lin Ruhai's daughter was really pitiful, and immediately said: "Get up and answer."

Daiyu got up and stood beside Gao Qi.She only felt that the emperor was looking at her, but Daiyu calmed down at this moment.

The emperor looked at Lin Daiyu, saw that she was still small, and had heard that Lin Ruhai had only one child. It seemed that the Lin family was going to be extinct, so he couldn't bear to blame Lin Daiyu, and said: "As a boudoir Girl, if you don't stay at home, why bother to come to the capital to do this."

Daiyu lowered her head and said what she had been thinking about for many days: "Your Majesty, my father has been working in Yangzhou for many years, and now he has this half of the account book." Daiyu handed the account book to the emperor as she spoke.

The emperor looked at Lin Daiyu, then turned to Gao Qi and said, "You are becoming less and less able to do things now. You just hand in this kind of thing yourself. How can you let a woman go to the palace to do it?"

Gao Qi smiled and said nothing, Daiyu said: "I don't blame Mr. Gao, it's the daughter of the people who insists on doing this. The daughter of the people thinks that this is the only way to show my father's loyalty to the emperor all these years."

As soon as the words came out, the emperor immediately said: "You mean that the court has treated Lin Ruhai badly."

"Menwomen don't dare." Daiyu knelt on the ground and said.

The emperor looked at Lin Daiyu, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Go back first, Lin Ruhai will not die in vain."

Gao Qi looked at the emperor, then looked at Daiyu, quickly pulled Daiyu up and said, "The emperor Jinkou Yuyan, you can rest assured."

Daiyu thanked the emperor, the emperor looked at Lin Daiyu and said: "I heard that your maternal ancestor's home is the Rongguo Mansion?"

Daiyu paused, then said, "Exactly."

The emperor smiled and said: "You might as well live in Rongguo Mansion for now, and when the time comes, I will give Lin Ruhai justice."

Daiyu really didn't want to live in Jia's house, so she immediately said: "The folk girl rarely interacts with her grandfather's family, and she has never seen her before. I'm afraid it's not right."

The emperor looked at Daiyu, and after a while, Gao Qi said, "Miss Lin is still young, so she should be more cautious."

The emperor waved his hand and let Daiyu and Gao Qi go out.As soon as he went out, Gao Qi said to Dai Yu: "What happened to those words just now, didn't they say that the emperor would read Lin Ruhai and give you a good home?"

After Gao Qi finished speaking, seeing that Daiyu didn't reply, he took a closer look and found that Daiyu's eye circles were red, and even said in a low voice: "Don't worry too much, the Turners in the palace are all cruel people, the emperor just now It’s already been extraordinarily merciful.”

Daiyu said as she walked, "Master Gao is laughing, I just think about my father and I feel aggrieved."

"You are still too young, Master Lin is lucky to have a daughter like you." Gao Qi said looking at Daiyu, and then continued after seeing no one around: "There are too many people who died for no apparent reason. What can be remembered by the Holy One is not in vain for his dedication."

Daiyu bowed her head and said nothing, Gao Qi led her out of the palace, and returned by the same way.

After walking a few steps, she saw someone approaching in front of her. Daiyu lowered her head and stood behind Gaoqi, hiding in the shade of a tree.When Takasaki saw the person coming, he only greeted with a smile, "Greetings to His Highness Fifth."

The visitor looked at the people behind Gao Qi, and said with a smile, "Master Gao is busy, long time no see."

Gao Qi said: "A few days ago, I drank too much and spent some time in the old house, which made His Highness laugh at me. I can only tell this to His Highness, keep it a secret from me."

The man who was addressed as His Highness Fifth said with a smile: "Master Gao said this, I will definitely not say this."

The two laughed and then missed and walked over. Daiyu looked down and saw the man in a silver-gray robe.

However, the next time the Fifth Highness returned to his bedroom, he called someone to go to the study to discuss matters. When the Fifth Highness saw the person coming, he said, "You are right, Gao Qi indeed came back from Yangzhou."

The visitor sat on the couch, squeezed the jade pendant in his hand and said, "It must be related to Prince Fan."

His Highness the Fifth Prince sneered and said, "It's ridiculous."

The visitor went on to say: "The emperor hates cliques the most, and now is the time for the emperor to remove obstacles, so His Highness can study with peace of mind now."

His Royal Highness smiled and said, "Today, I looked at Gao Qi as if he brought a woman into the palace."

"how come?"

His Royal Highness said: "Although the person shrank back, I can tell that it is a woman. I just don't know who it is."

The man looked at His Royal Highness Fifth and said: "Gao Qi is going to Yangzhou. There is no news from there yet. I think it will be clearer in two days."

"Left and right have nothing to do with me." Fifth Highness said.

Let's talk about Yangzhou Lin's Mansion. Fortunately, Daiyu had arranged all the things in the mansion early, so the hometown in Gusu got a lot of money, and it also cost some money to dismiss the servants.

Aunt Liu and the others also left.

Butler Lin and the others just thought it would be good to wait for the young lady to come back, but they didn't want someone from the Rongguo Mansion to come.The person who came was none other than Jia Lian from the Rongguo Mansion. As soon as Jia Lian came, he clamored to see Lin Daiyu.

How could Steward Lin let him see him? Even put him in the guest room, but Jia Lian clamored and said, "Butler Lin is deceiving the master, corrupting the property of Mo Lin's family, and even suing the officials."

After two days, the disturbance was really unsightly, so Yan Gui had to wear a veil to see her. Jia Lian said at the first sight, "Cousin Lin, you are suffering."

It was inconvenient for Yan Gui to speak, so he waved his hand.

Jia Lian looked at Xueyan who was standing beside her. Seeing Jia Lian's rascal appearance, that Xueyan was at a loss for what to do, and was already speechless at this moment.Wang Momo said from the side: "Miss is too sad, her voice is not good."

Jia Lian didn't take it seriously when he heard this, but only talked about how Jia's mansion was and what Jia's mother was reading, saying that she wanted to help Daiyu with housework, and that she wanted to punish Lin's housekeeper.

Yan Gui was really anxious when he heard these words, but there was nothing he could do.Just waving his hands blindly, Jia Lian thought that Lin Daiyu was being held hostage by his servants, and he was about to sue the officials.

The magistrate had just left, Yangzhou was already troubled at this time, and it was Lin's business, no one dared to take care of it. Although Jia Lian brought a dozen servants, Butler Lin was not a vegetarian, and the two parties were deadlocked.

This matter has been going on for a full month, and only waiting for Daiyu to sneak back to the mansion through the side door did she see that the flowers and trees in the mansion were too damaged, and she also saw a big blue bag on the porter's head.After questioning, I realized that the people from Rongguo Mansion were so rude.

Speaking of Jia Lian, ever since he learned that Lin Ruhai was dead, he immediately took orders to come to Yangzhou.I thought that there was no one in the Lin family, but I didn't want this matter to go on for so long and there was no result. Then Lin Daiyu met twice, but she didn't say a word except for waving her hands. She was really anxious to death.

But I didn't want to, butler Lin sent someone early in the morning to say that it was Miss Lin who invited me.

Jia Lian thought it was a fraud, so he dared not agree. The person who came to report the letter sneered: "Second Master Lian, you are too timid."

Jia Lian thought about it, forgiving that Butler Lin didn't dare to do anything, so he followed the visitor to the lobby.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lin Ruhai's memorial tablet. Jia Lian even knelt down after burning incense.Seeing Lin Butler standing aside, he was about to speak when he saw a person walking from the back room, it was not someone else but Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu went up to offer incense to her father, burned a few more papers, and asked Jia Lian to sit down.Jia Lian had only seen Lin Daiyu in a mask before, but now he saw Lin Daiyu in filial piety without any makeup on, and he was a little speechless.

She had known Lin Daiyu's celestial appearance for a long time, but it was the first time Jia Lian had seen such a figure.

Jia Lian coughed twice, and Fang said, "Cousin Lin, your grandmother misses you very much. Now that Uncle Lin has gone, I specially sent me to pick you up."
