The Double Soul of Red Mansions

Lin Hai was working, when he heard familiar footsteps, he put down what he was doing and waited quietly for Daiyu's arrival.

"Come in." Before Daiyu could knock on the door, Lin Hai's voice sounded.

The corners of Daiyu's mouth turned up outside the door, she felt very happy about the tacit understanding between father and daughter.

"You all wait outside." After giving instructions to Zijuan and Xueyan with a smile, Daiyu gently opened the door and walked in.

"Come and sit here with Daddy." Lin Hai smiled and called Daiyu to his side, "Is it because of Miss Xue's matter?"

Lin Daiyu shook her head and said, "Daddy found out about Sister Xue so soon?"

"Our mansion is only this big, so there is nothing we don't know." Lin Hai rubbed Daiyu's head and said, "The Xue family is getting more and more dilapidated now, although there is still some money, but it is not enough in a place like Kyoto Yes. Although the father of this girl from the Xue family doesn't have much contact with her, he can tell a thing or two that this girl Xue has great ambitions and ambitions. You are not from the same way."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "Although Sister Xue is somewhat utilitarian, everyone in the world is a layman, and no one can be better than anyone."

"You child, you just need to know everything in your heart." Lin Hai smiled, "Daddy sees you as hard-spoken and soft-hearted. Since you are not for her, then I don't have much trouble."

Daiyu chuckled and said, "Daddy, I care about you the most. I don't want to entangle you with trivial matters because of other people's affairs. Besides, it's not convenient for you to do things about the harem. I promised Sister Xue to see if Ruixuan can do it." I can't help you. There is an imperial concubine in their house, so it is much easier to handle than daddy. I am only acting as a middleman in this matter, and I can't help you if there are more. They all have intricate interpersonal relationships, I can only promise to do my part on the basis of not implicating us."

Lin Hai was very pleased to see his daughter grow up and become more sensible.Sometimes Lin Hai can't remember what the original daughter was like.In her impression, her daughter is different every day, and she is getting more sensible every day.

"Daddy, I want to ask if the matter of Xiangling is settled?" Lin Daiyu said, "Today, that girl from Xiangling came to tell Xueyan that maybe the elder brother of the Xue family wanted to take her as a concubine. I think she is actually a concubine." I don’t want to. Xueyan has always treated her well, now I can’t bear to hear this.”

"Daddy can't bear to see you as the one!" Lin Hai sighed, "I told you some days ago, but I'll tell you if you ask. There's something to this matter, but don't be too happy gone."

Lin Daiyu looked at Lin Hai suspiciously, waiting for Lin Hai to answer her questions.

"The matter of Xiangling has something to do with your enlightenment teacher Jia Yucun." Lin Hai never thought that the teacher he invited back for his daughter would be so black and white.

"Is it related to Mr.?" Daiyu was a little confused.

"The Xiaosheng named Feng that Xue Pan beat to death for Xiangling, this case was handled by Jia Yucun. I have asked someone to investigate this matter. This Jia Yucun was also helped by Xiangling's father before, and the way to Beijing for the exam. The capital was all given by Xiangling's father. I didn't expect that this person not only didn't repay kindness, but repaid kindness with kindness. He didn't know anything about Xiangling."

"Daddy said, Mr. recognized Xiangling's background a long time ago? But is it because the Xue family ignored the law and kindness?" Lin Daiyu didn't expect Jia Yucun, who had taught her, to be so unbearable.

"Yes. This matter was not a secret back then, as long as we follow the vines, we will know everything." Lin Hai said.

"Does Xiangling have any relatives?" Lin Daiyu asked.

"I lost my daughter back then, and not long after, there was a fire at home, and all the family assets were burned. His father lost his daughter and lost his home, and then left with a Taoist monk. Only one mother was left behind. Now do something Needlework to support myself." Lin Hai said.

"Then is her mother still willing to have Xiangling?" Lin Daiyu asked.

"I already asked someone to bring her mother to Beijing. You child, what stupid things are you talking about? No parent would want to have a child of their own." Lin Hai shook his head helplessly, "Now this matter will wait until Xiangling's mother arrives. Let’s talk about the capital again. Xiangling is already a servant of the Xue family, and the Xue family must let go of this matter.”

Lin Daiyu didn't expect the matter to be so complicated, with so many grievances and grievances involved.Now she didn't know what to do for a while.

"Yu'er, Daddy will handle this matter. You can just take care of yourself now. Seeing that you are about to enter the palace, Daddy is really worried about you." Lin Hai sighed, "There are four princes and three princesses in the palace. Everyone is not born of a mother, and the relationship of interests is intricate. When you enter the palace, you must remember to watch more, listen more and talk less. If you feel wronged, you can tell your father. Although the Holy Majesty kept you to make your father afraid, but Similarly, he won't make daddy feel cold, as long as there are no accidents, you will have a better life in the palace."

Daiyu understood what Lin Hai analyzed.

"Daddy I know, I won't let myself be wronged." Lin Daiyu said with a smile, if it's a big deal, she will do it, she doesn't believe that anyone can do anything to her.

Under Li Mochou's teaching, Lin Daiyu has now learned to use violence to solve problems.

***

Three days later, Daiyu brought Xue Baochai to Chen's residence in a carriage.

Chen Ruixuan still had some impressions of Xue Baochai. Although she didn't know why Daiyu brought an extra person, she didn't show any difference.

"Yu'er, come and try this." Chen Ruixuan handed Lin Daiyu the dim sum in hand and said, "My little brother went to line up to buy it himself."

Lin Daiyu nodded, and looked away from Xue Baochai, "Then you are so happy, and I really want to have an older brother. This dim sum is the most famous in the capital. I heard that there are many people who buy it, and they still buy it every day." Limited supply."

Chen Ruixuan smiled and gave Lin Daiyu a look that you understand.

"Who is this?" The last time in Jia's mansion, Chen Ruixuan was the one who made a fool of himself, so he didn't have time to recognize Xue Baochai.

"Sister of the Xue family, Baochai!" Daiyu laughed, "I came here today to ask for a relationship with you."

"It's for you?" Chen Ruixuan looked at Xue Baochai and said, "This is the first time Yu'er has asked me for words."

"Sister Lin never dares to forget Baochai's kindness." In front of Chen Ruixuan, Baochai dared not take it too seriously.

"Sister Xue is serious." Daiyu smiled, "I want to ask you, the princess' attendant, do you have any relationship to arrange a spot for Sister Xue?"

Chen Ruixuan looked at Xue Baochai for a while, then looked at Daiyu's expectant eyes, and finally said with a smile: "The eldest princess is from Yungui, and the second and third princesses are from Concubine Li and Concubine Lan. Except for the eldest princess, the other two princesses are not very familiar with me."

"Then can you?" Before Daiyu finished speaking, Chen Ruixuan said again, "Although the eldest princess was born in Yungui, she is very much loved by the Holy Majesty because she is the first daughter of the Holy Majesty. All the attendants around her The requirements are very strict. And the second princess and the third princess are high-ranking mothers and concubines, so the requirements will not be low. I heard that most of the places have already been pre-determined. You just started the activity now, It's late!"

The last sentence Chen Ruixuan said was directed at Xue Baochai. Hearing this, Xue Baochai felt a sense of loss. Could it be that there is no hope for her career as a servant?

"I didn't say you, why did you go? Although your Xue family is a businessman, it's different when you bring the emperor. What's more, your ancestors also funded the founding of the ancestors. If you were active early, there might still be something interesting. .Isn’t that virtuous concubine from Jia’s family? You are all related to the four major families, so you are looking far away.” Chen Ruixuan said.

To Chen Ruixuan's words, Xue Baochai was speechless.How could she not be active earlier, it's a pity that the entrustment is not human.

It's just that she can't say these words.

Lin Daiyu looked at Xue Baochai, couldn't bear it, and said again: "Sister Chen, do you think you can move around? Maybe the imperial concubine in the palace can do it? Xue's family will take care of everything that needs to be taken care of."

Xue Baochai nodded hurriedly.The Xue family now pins all their hopes on her. She cannot be told that there is no hope before she has done anything. As long as there is a chance, Xue Baochai will not give up.

In the end, Chen Ruixuan didn't promise at all, she just said to give it a try.

Lin Daiyu also knew that she didn't want to mention this matter anymore, so she never mentioned it again.

"You will enter the palace in a few days. I have troubled my aunt to take care of you on weekdays. If you have any grievances, just ask someone to tell me. I can still take care of you in the palace." Chen Ruixuan pulled Daiyu moved her hand to the side and whispered, "My little brother has already taken care of the palace. If you go to the palace, as long as you don't make any serious mistakes, no one will dare to accuse you. But I think you are so cautious. You won't make any big mistakes. Also, when you enter the palace, you should give those palace people more small favors and favors when you do things on weekdays. As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to deal with little ghosts, so you should pay more attention to yourself."

Lin Daiyu nodded and said with a smile: "I will keep these in mind, don't worry, nothing will happen to me."

"Well, you and I are at ease, but I'm afraid of that big princess. Don't look at her looking straightforward, but in fact she has a lot of thoughts. You must not follow her way. And her companion has a pre-determined The Yun family is called Yun Ling'er. This Yun Ling'er is a concubine, but she is quite popular with her father. This time she enters the palace to fill the quota of concubine daughters. You must be careful. The other two places are not yet known. Who will win, but remember, there is no one easy." Chen Ruixuan did her best to Lin Daiyu.

"You forgot, I know martial arts and poison, no one can do anything to me." Lin Daiyu whispered.

"Where would I forget, it's just that after entering the palace, there are hierarchical rights, and if you are not careful, the whole family will be affected. So what if you know martial arts? You can't understand the truth that the king has to die, and the minister has to die?" Chen Ruixuan sighed He took a deep breath and said, "Also, I actually want to ask you one more thing."

"Tell me." Lin Daiyu said.

"About the former queen, you also know the identity of my eldest brother. Now I just want to find out what happened back then, and my grandfather doesn't know much about it." Chen Ruixuan said, "You know martial arts, so it's easier to come and go. If I can know something, I can tell my grandfather that our Qi State Mansion must not suffer from dumb people. I must have revenge, my aunt and my father, no matter what kind of revenge it is, I will avenge it."

"I have it in mind." Lin Daiyu said with a smile.
