A man in black climbed over the wall into the front yard of the fourth elder brother's mansion, came straight to the study, rushed into the study and saw the fourth elder brother practicing calligraphy, and said excitedly: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, you don't know, I heard such important news from the boss yesterday!" ”

The fourth elder brother glanced at him coldly, and continued to practice calligraphy, without any fluctuations. The man in black wanted to step forward www.biquge.info take his pen away, but he was glared at, touched his nose with his hand, and said embarrassedly: "Fourth brother, why don't you listen to me." ”

"I'm listening," the fourth elder brother finished writing a word, put down the pen, turned around and cleaned his hands, then sat on the couch next to him, took a sip of the tea on the small table, "Go on, you overheard, and then, did you get any evidence?" ”

"No," said the young man in despair, "I was found after listening for a while, and I was beaten up, if I hadn't slipped away quickly..."

"Slip fast? Slipped away all night? ”

The man was even more energetic, and suddenly leaned on the seat: "Don't mention it, I fell over the wall in the courtyard of Zhang Hanlin in front of the two alleys, and it took me a long time to wake up." ”

"! I was dizzy outside for a long time this day, and I was already freezing, just your clothes, didn't the family arrest you and send you to the official? ”

"People were kind enough to save me, okay... Oh, fourth brother, why don't you listen to me to the point! The man in black stood up and stamped his feet in a hurry.

"Thirteen, you really don't have to mix this matter, you don't have to take the prince's words to heart, I have already sent two henchmen to take care of her on your mother's side, the struggle between them is getting more and more intense, we stand behind the prince, we will definitely be affected, I have built a mansion and left the palace, it is not so dangerous, you are still surviving in the palace, don't mix too much with the outside things." Hurry up and change your clothes, and I'll get a doctor to take a look at your injuries. ”

Thirteen listened to it next to him and was very moved: "Fourth brother... But now you're not having a good time, I just want to help you. ”

"I know, Thirteen, you've been helping me, I understand. But this kind of thing really can't be rushed, remember what Lin Ruhai used you before, don't look at him now, he is still a royalist, and he also took advantage of you, but at the critical moment, I believe he will have a trace of kindness to us. ”

"Oh, don't mention Lin Ruhai, why do I have such a bad vision!" The thirteenth elder brother was anxious, "Lin Ruhai used me to jump out of the whirlpool in the south of the Yangtze River, and he didn't say anything in return, as if there was no such thing, he was angry with me, and he should have sent him two of our own people in the first place." ”

"Then he won't dare to take it." The fourth elder brother said, "Okay, don't worry about the rest, stay in my house for the past two days, don't go anywhere." Wait until the injury is healed and then go back to the palace, it is estimated that the Chinese New Year will not be a few days away, and no one will have time to pay attention to your face. ”

"Got it, what about the boss?" Thirteen still doesn't give up.

"Leave it alone! We have no evidence, and looking for the imperial history to hear the wind is to expose our manpower, forget about this matter, safety first, thirteen, we must remember that only by living, we can have a future. ”

"Oh, got it." The thirteenth elder brother went out dejectedly and went back to his yard.

After a while, the fourth elder brother instructed his eldest eunuch: "Find someone to inquire without a trace, who is living in the old courtyard of Zhang Hanlin now?" Look at who the thirteenth elder brother has met. ”

"Huh."

-----------------

Xia Liansheng didn't sleep well all night, and after returning to the Lin Mansion, he only said that he was too tired because of the night talk, so he went back to his yard to make up for sleep, completely unaware that someone in the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion had begun to inquire about him.

On the twenty-third of the year, the yamen was sealed, Lin Ruhai was idle to see the heads of Suzhou, this year because there were too many things, they had not come to the capital for a long time to give New Year's gifts, so this time Lin Ruhai saw them and did not leave for the time being, stayed in Beijing for the New Year this year, and went back after the spring, so Lin Ruhai began to be busy with various inventories and plans again. Daiyu is still busy with things in the backyard, and the two of them obediently follow Xia Liansheng to exercise every day, and they go to Daiyu's room to play together.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Ruhai took Daiyu, Huiyu, and Lin Jin to worship their ancestors together, and Xia Liansheng also pretended to find a street corner to burn some paper for the ancestors of the Xia family, which was regarded as a full affection of the Xia prefect. This year, Lin Ruhai has not yet taken office, so he doesn't have to go to the palace early in the morning on the first day of the new year to congratulate, of course, there is no emperor's blessing to receive, and he can't eat the emperor's blessing dishes at night...

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Ruhai took Daiyu's sister and brother to Rongguo Mansion for a banquet. Xia Liansheng and Lin Jin were at home to take care of the house, and by the way, Xia Liansheng invited Zhang Xuan and Fan Ning to go out for a stroll and eat out by the way.

Before going out, Xia Liansheng shouted at Daiyu and Huiyu's grandmother and told him vigorously: "You must be optimistic about Miss Young Master, don't let them be angry, if someone bullies your Miss, just spray it back and fight back, and the master and I will call the shots for you..."

Lin Daiyu used to listen to Jia Min at home always talking about how her grandmother's house was different from other families, how rich she was, and she originally felt that she had to pay attention step by step, always care, and couldn't be laughed at by others, but she couldn't stand her cousin always talking about what "X shell Lang powder eggs - face glazing", what to say Don't look at the glamorous clothes they wear, that is to cover up the fact that they have no money, our Lin family is rich, but what people want to recuperate is temperament, and they can prove their identity by wearing nouveau riche like red envelopes? Daiyu wanted to laugh when she thought about it, and she wanted to popularize knowledge to her cousin: Our family is still filial piety, what kind of red to wear, relatives should not be so unparticular.

Take the car to Rongning Street, pass by the "Ningguo Mansion", and go west to Rongguo Mansion, outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian was already waiting, saw the Lin family's carriage coming, hurriedly greeted a few steps, and said hello to Lin Ruhai through the curtain.

Lin Ruhai got out of the car, was led into the door by Jia Lian and turned to the outer courtyard, and after the car entered the door and continued to move forward for a short distance, Daiyu and Huiyu got out of the car and changed to a small sedan chair, and the four little guys carried the sedan chair all the way to the door of the hanging flower. Only then did Daiyu and Huiyu get off the sedan chair, walk through the verandah, walk through the hall, and then came to the door of the main room. ”

Daiyu led Huiyu to just cross the threshold, raised her eyes and saw a silver-haired old lady being hugged by two people to greet her, Daiyu knew that this should be the grandmother that her father said, and she was busy to visit, but she was hugged by the old lady, and she cried heart-to-heart, Huiyu was taken a big step forward, almost fell, and cried with it. I originally wanted to cry with Mrs. Shi to cry for her mother, but when she heard Huiyu crying, she struggled to look around. The old lady looked down at her, and even Huiyu hugged her and cried in her arms. The people standing next to him also wiped their tears, which reminded Daiyu of what Xia Liansheng said, "When I see my master crying, my subordinates must cry, and I have to cry sadly and cry beautifully, otherwise I will cry with a handful of snot and tears..." Daiyu waited for the girl to bring the mat, and took Huiyu to kowtow to Jia's mother uprightly, which was considered to have seen it.
