Daiyu came back with half a cart of materials, and asked people to distribute two horses to each of the three elder brothers and the Wulan Gege house, and took four horses to send them to the Fujin house in person, and thanked her for letting her go back to her parents' house.

"Sent by relatives, it is said that it is a lost weaving method from the previous dynasty, and I don't know if it is good or bad, you can try it." Daiyu picked all the colors that were suitable for Fujin to wear, and Zhao Jia's face was as usual when he saw his daughter-in-law's face, and when the Lin family really went to go to relatives, he finally let go of his heart after a day.

"Okay, I'll try." Zhao Jiashi accepted it with a smile, "It's not too early, hurry up and go back and rest." ”

Daiyu didn't plan to stay longer, but when she returned to the house, she called Xingguo, "Go and call Agarwood in." ”

Agarwood was waiting outside, and after coming in, I saw the young grandmother's face white and terrible after wiping her face. couldn't help but be shocked, "Are you tired today, the master should rest early." ”

Waving his hand, "It's okay, I haven't been out for a long time, I'm just not used to it." There's something you can do for you, and I'll do it. ”

"That's what you command." Agarwood should only be the same as before, inspect the grange and shops, and make inventory books, all of which are used to doing it, and it is not appropriate to do anything.

"I remember that there was a man named Zhang Duo under the eldest brother, and when I went to him, he said that I ordered him to help me keep an eye on someone. If you need manpower, ask him to find it, and your family is responsible for giving the silver, it doesn't matter how much silver, as long as you can do the errand well. ”

Agarwood heard the clouds, mountains and fogs, and waited for Xingguo to explain a few sentences next to him, only to know that the eldest brother had an accident. Suddenly, his face was whiter than Daiyu's, and he could barely stand.

Xingguo pinched it secretly, she knew how important this matter was, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, vowing: "The slave and maid will definitely do their best to guarantee with their lives." ”

Daiyu barely squeezed out a smile, "I don't want your net worth and my life, as long as you don't reach the end, I won't give up the slightest possibility." ”

"Yes." Agarwood kowtowed three times in a row, and when he left, he was still clenching his fists tightly.

Zhang Duo already felt that something was wrong, the eldest brother had a letter back almost every day, but the little guy who delivered the letter had not moved at all in the past few days. He didn't know who to ask, and was already about to pack his luggage and go on the road, but was called by the Lu steward.

Everyone in the palace knows that this steward Lu is the man who has to use the daughter-in-law Agarwood next to the young grandmother, and he has always run errands for the young grandmother outside, and he will come to call him, it must be the young grandmother's orders.

"Mr. Zhang, our young grandmother has a few words for me to bring to you." Steward Lu glanced at him up and down, thin and dry, with a ridiculous goatee and a pair of mung bean eyes, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a tent man who stayed in the shop, and he really didn't know why the young grandmother would believe that he had a way.

"It's for the eldest brother's business, what does the young grandmother command?" Zhang Duo respectfully arched his hand, Shanhuai and the young grandmother could become good friends, and he trusted the young grandmother.

"You know the opportunity, this thing is a bit difficult, you can't let people know, and you can't be caught. Of course, you can look for people, but you can't leak the news of the Lord's house, and you don't have to worry about the silver. When the matter is done, the young grandmother will reward you heavily. "Steward Lu knows that the matter is important, and it is not the time to care about the silver, so he promises heavy profits.

Zhang Duo smiled, "Cats have cat roads, and mice have rat roads, but these people, the official family disdains to deal with them, and they don't dare to have contact with the official family, so I can only go by myself, and the Lu steward doesn't know whether to believe it or not." ”

"Since the young grandmother is looking for you by name, what do I have to worry about, it's a big deal to do a bad errand, and I will give this more than 100 catties." Steward Lu glanced at him, took out a stack of silver tickets, and added, "If someone deliberately does a bad errand, don't think that I can't do anything about you." ”

"It's nature." Zhang Duo didn't care about these verbal threats, whatever he thought, he just knew. He stuffed the silver, changed into a greasy and dirty garment, and went out.

Xingguo picked jasmine flowers in the yard, but she plucked all the buds. The excuse is to go to dry jasmine tea, but in fact, I don't want Daiyu to see the white flowers, and I am in the same bad mood as Fujin.

Daiyu called Bai Lu and instructed: "Let Xingguo stop tossing, look dizzy." ”

"Yes." Bai Lu went to call Xingguo, she took the work she was doing, and squeezed to Daiyu's side, looking like she wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.

Daiyu shook her head at her and opened her mouth, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Master, are Steward Lu and Zhang Duo going to find the eldest brother?" Xingguo always felt that her master could solve all the problems as soon as she made a move, and she had a blind worship of her.

Daiyu shook her head, "The emperor and the prince's people have already gone, even Jingyu has gone, I believe they will definitely do their best to find the eldest brother." All I can do is find the person behind the scenes and make him pay for what he has done. ”

At this time, if she rushes over again, the people she can mobilize, where are they as familiar with the terrain and situation as the prince's people, and if they go, they may add chaos. Instead, find out the black hand she suspected, and find the evidence while he is relaxed now.

"Big Brother will definitely come back, definitely." Daiyu rejects any other possibility.

Steward Lu and Zhang Duo couldn't enter the inner courtyard, and Agarwood had to come in every day to report the progress.

"The people Zhang Duo is looking for, our family says, it looks really unreliable, they are all lazy gangsters on the street, and there are even gamblers and drunkards, I really don't know what these people can do." Agarwood was a little apprehensive, feeling that the master handed over such an important matter to her, if she didn't do it well, she would be really shameless.

"Take the road of officialdom seriously, if I can find the handle, I think my father will find it a long time ago. These people are scoundrels, but who would be wary of scoundrels, maybe they will be able to find out something that no one else can ask about. "Dai Yu'an Agarwood's heart, or rather, is also in her own heart.

"Can you set the table?" Bai Lu saw that they had finished speaking, and asked.

"Swing it."

Bai Lu carefully filled the soup and began to pick up vegetables for her again, in the past few days, the master's meal has increased significantly, but the meat has not grown at all. It's been out for three months, and the waist is still so thin, which is worrying.

No one knew that everything Daiyu ate had no taste in her mouth at all. Ever since she learned of Hongyun's disappearance, she had never felt any taste of food anymore. She didn't care, forcing herself to eat more meals than usual, the child in her belly needed nutrition, and she, too, needed the body.

Zhang Duo's rat path went from being undisciplined at the beginning, to gradually figuring out the way Hongshi and the outside world. They wrote secret letters in carrier pigeons, and the letterhead was dipped in wine to reveal the handwriting. According to the informant, this is the secret of a certain sect in the rivers and lakes, and it is one of the sects that Hongshi gathered around and came forward to rob people as a thief for him.

"Master, what Zhang Duo means is that he can find the elders of this sect, but he alone is not convincing, and it is easy to do it if someone in the official face comes forward." Agarwood got the latest news and hurried over to report the news.

"Let Steward Lu help me deliver the letter, hand it over to the master in person, and take Zhang Duo to wait there, and come back when I get the news." Daiyu immediately arranged to go down, twisted her hands together, and went to the desk to look at the illustration she had drawn.

It indicated the time when Hongyun might have an accident, the time when he got the news, and then counted carefully, Daiyu's heart sank. The people who rushed there have already started the search and rescue, and if there is news, they should get the letter in the next two days.

Before Agarwood came back to report the news, she couldn't sleep or eat at all, so she sat by the window alone, leaning against the glass window, looking at the swing outside, and her heart shook.

When it was time to eat, Agarwood hurried over, and when he saw Daiyu holding the bowl but not moving the chopsticks, he hurriedly ordered it. Daiyu knew that she had eaten it.

After eating, Agarwood served her to rinse her mouth, and brought her a message by the way.

"The lord said, your courage is too great. He'll take care of the rest and tell you not to meddle anymore. ”

"It can't be." Daiyu refused without hesitation.

"Sue your man and Zhang Duo, remember who is their master, if you admit your mistake, you don't have to come back." Daiyu didn't explain why, but just put the way out in front of them.

"Slaves don't dare." Agarwood hurriedly knelt down, and Daiyu didn't tell her to get up, so she listened carefully.

"Tell them."

"Yes, slave and maid go now." As soon as Agarwood left, Daiyu leaned on the beauty couch and slowly closed her eyes. Whether it is the prince or the father, they are all the courtiers of the emperor, and according to the education received in this era, loyalty to the monarch comes first.

No matter how conclusive the evidence of Hongshi's guilt is, as long as he is the emperor's son, as long as the emperor does not want him to die, he can't die. Whether it is the prince or the father, no matter how wronged he is, he can only swallow this qiē. If you don't do it, you have to thank the emperor for his grace.

Well, even though the prince may be from the same era as her, don't forget, he has four sons, and it is impossible to abandon a qiē for Hongyun.

She clutched the placket of her chest, and she was the only one who would never let this man escape. Whether he is the emperor's son or not, she doesn't care.

Mama Mei observed for several days and found that the young grandmother had been very wrong recently, very wrong. took the opportunity to lean up to Xingguo and tugged at her sleeve, "Girl, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Xingguo also thought that her son's illness had changed, and took her to her house, "Mama has something to say, no one dares to eavesdrop outside my house." ”

"I know I shouldn't have asked about my master, but recently my master has been a little strange, isn't it, has he encountered something difficult. I didn't inquire, I just wanted to ask the girl if there was anything we could share. "The faster her son's condition improves, the more Mama Mei wants to do something for her, otherwise she will always feel indebted.

"Mama, don't guess, let alone inquire, the master's affairs are not something we can control." Xingguo didn't show half a word, but Mama Mei felt more and more that something was wrong, but Xingguo didn't say anything, she could only make some soup in different ways to recuperate for the master.

Daiyu received the letter from Agarwood, and immediately asked Bai Lu to deliver the letter to the Lin family, "I remember that the only son of the third elder brother Hongshi will hold a birthday banquet in a few days. Mother should have received an invitation to attend. ”

"If Madame asks, what will the slave and maid say?" Bai Lu's face guessed something, his fingers were hidden in his sleeves, trembling slightly.

"Just say, you don't know anything." Daiyu closed her eyes slightly, then opened them and said slowly.

"Yes." Bai Lu went to deliver the letter.

Daiyu went to see Zhaojia's and said anxiously: "Eniang, my daughter-in-law hasn't received Hongyun's letter for a long time, and I'm embarrassed to ask Amma, I don't know if Eniang has ever known about him." ”

Zhao Jia's heart suddenly burst into his heart, and he said in his heart, here.

After pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth, "You Ama also said yesterday that he received an official document, and he was fine, but he was busy and chaotic outside, and he probably forgot to write to you." Don't be cranky, it's fine. ”

Daiyu patted her chest, "Then I'll rest assured, there is one more thing, my mother's family wants to ask me to go back to help with the details, my younger brother will get married in two months, there are many things to prepare, and she can't make up her mind alone." ”

Zhao Jia's heart said, this is not at ease, and he plans to go back to his parents' house to inquire about the news. The Lin family has a tacit understanding, but they are not afraid, so they nodded.

"There you go."

"Thank you, E-niang." Daiyu pretended to be suspicious and left with a lot of concern.

Zhao Jiashi also pinched her fingers, at this time, there was no letter, she grabbed the Buddha beads that she asked for a few days ago, and recited the Buddha name.

Jia Min waited anxiously until Lin Ruhai came home in the evening, and said what her daughter meant, "Master, what do you mean by our daughter?" ”

"Since your daughter told you to go, you can go, remember to bring a few more people, don't let people hurt her." Lin Ruhai sighed slightly, her daughter was silent, making such a big noise, she wanted to take over, but she refused to let go. Because of this incident, the father and daughter have clashed back and forth several times, and I am afraid that the daughter has admitted to death.

"What do you mean, sir, my daughter will go too?" Jia Min's hand tightened, and he directly pinched out a mark on Lin Ruhai's arm.

"Go ahead, she can do whatever she wants, as long as she doesn't get hurt." Lin Ruhai repeated what he had just said and refused to say more.

When Daiyu went out, she asked Zhao Jia's to be safe, and Zhao Jia's only thought she was going back to her parents' house, and she was very generous to let her go. For this day is also the birthday of the only son of the third elder brother Hongshi, she didn't notice this coincidence at all.

Mama Mei and Daiyu were in the same carriage, and Daiyu said softly: "You should know what you have to do, you are not a slave who sold yourself into slavery, if you regret it, you can not agree." ”

"The old slave can share the worries of the master, it is a matter of unwantedness, let alone regret it, this matter is handed over by the master to others, and the old slave also has to find a way to grab it."

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, "Very good." ”

Freehand and blank housekeeping, white dew and apricot fruit, and agarwood all followed Daiyu out of the door, and there was also Mama Mei.

When he arrived at the Lin family, Jia Min hadn't gone out yet, holding his daughter's hand and complaining, "Silly boy, don't do stupid things, the big Agoji people have their own natural appearance, and they will definitely be fine." If you put yourself in and wait for the eldest brother to come back, you may feel distressed. ”

"Mother, are you stupid to be a daughter? Why should I lose myself for a group of wicked people, not to mention myself, even if I lose a hair, they don't deserve it. Daiyu deliberately rubbed powder on her face to hide her pale face, and the strange thing was that she couldn't smell the smell of incense powder, but she couldn't smell it at all.

Jia Min actually wanted to keep her daughter at home, but Lin Ruhai persuaded her, saying that her daughter was angry, and if she didn't let her spill her anger, she would suffocate herself, or sprinkle her anger on herself, it would not be worth it. It's better to let her vent out, it's a big deal, he, who is a father, will kneel in front of the emperor and take a black yarn hat to intercede for his daughter.

"Then let's go." Jia Min asked for a long time, but her daughter refused to say anything, so she had to sigh and pull her daughter up.

Hongshi only has this son born by Changfu Jinsheng, who is afraid of melting in his mouth, and is afraid of flying in his hand, so he can't be too much of a baby. Otherwise, I wouldn't have held a birthday banquet for a three-year-old child, and I would have to invite so many people.

As a rule, invitations are cast wide, and those who have not celebrated the festival will be handed over to them. But many are not in the same camp, and they will definitely not come, the Lin family has no contact with Hongshi, and no one knows what's going on, Mrs. Lin actually accepted the invitation.

When Hongshi's grandson Fu Jindong Eshi saw Daiyu, he was even more surprised. This young grandmother is a big celebrity, the eldest son and daughter-in-law of Prince Yi, who is so red. No one thought that she would come, but she sent a post to Prince Yi Fujin, but Zhao Jia's returned a gift without surprise and did not send anyone to come.

Unexpectedly, the eldest and youngest grandmother of the palace actually followed her mother to her place as a guest. Although Dong Eshi was surprised, his face was not revealed, he stepped forward to greet her affectionately, personally arranged her seat, and ordered someone to change the food, looking very familiar with her, which surprised many people.

The people sitting here are almost no one who has ever interacted with the Lin family, and Daiyu is not familiar with it, at most there are a few familiar nodding friends.

Jia Min naturally sat down next to her daughter and didn't go anywhere, several groups of people came to set her close, but she perfunctorily left, only her eyes were good, and she looked at her daughter firmly.

"Would you like to have a cup of tea?" Seeing that her daughter's mouth was a little dry, Jia Min asked.

"No, you don't." Daiyu shook her head gently, she wouldn't eat a sip of tea or a sip of snacks from Hongshi's house.

Daiyu raised her chin lightly from time to time and looked at the sky, Jia Min followed and looked at it a few times, but she didn't see a reason.

The subtle sound of hula wings crossing the air was accurately captured by Mama Mei. Daiyu threw herself into Jia Min's arms with a "sigh", and Jia Min's heartbeat was almost stopped.

Xingguo yelled, "Pigeon." Then he took out a handkerchief and wiped Daiyu's shoulder, and the frightened man let out a long breath, it turned out that it was a pigeon flying above that caused it. It's really unlucky, and many people look up at the sky.

Mama Mei picked up a small stone and threw it, and the pigeon let out a sharp scream, and one wing was injured and lost its balance, and it fell to the ground.

Everyone was in a hurry to dodge, only Mama Mei and everyone was the opposite, picking up the half-dead pigeon that had fallen and sending it to Daiyu.

"It's just an animal, what's there to do with it." Daiyu had already recovered her expression at this time, looked at the pigeon and smiled bitterly.

"Hey, what is this?" Xingguo was surprised to see a small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's legs.

"Alas, it looks like it's a carrier pigeon, who is from it?" Bold people came over and answered curiously.

Xingguo couldn't help but untie the bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's legs, and no one noticed that Dong E beckoned a girl to give an order, and saw the girl hurriedly running to the front yard.

"This is not good, in case it is a carrier pigeon used by the yamen to transmit military information, we have seen it, wouldn't it leak the military aircraft." The voice came from the corner, and when someone looked over, they couldn't find who said it.

"Where are we leaking, I think so much." Daiyu snorted coldly, took the bamboo tube, and poured out a cloth roll from it.

As soon as it was unfolded, I heard the sound of footsteps, and Hiroshi went from the front yard to the inner yard. Jia Min frowned slightly, if it weren't for the chaos at the scene, he would have come over rashly, it would be a bit rude. Sure enough, some of the unmarried daughters' families hid behind the elders who came together.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that the Shenji Camp uses carrier pigeons to pass on books, maybe it really involves secrets, so it's better to leave it to me and ask the Shenji Battalion, so as not to inadvertently spoil a big thing." Hongshi's face was sincere, and his hand had already reached out in front of Daiyu.

"What if I don't give?" Daiyu stared at him angrily, Hongshi's face changed, and he turned to Jia Min and smiled bitterly: "Mrs. Lin, look at this ......"

"Don't ask for anyone." Daiyu suddenly threw the strip of cloth into the teapot on the table and looked at him defiantly.

"This ...... It seems that Hongshi made his sister-in-law angry, and apologized to his sister-in-law, don't blame it. As soon as Hongshi arched his hand, Xingguo suddenly pointed to the cloth and screamed: "There are words on it." ”

Hongshi's face changed again, and he reached out to grab it, but Mama Mei took it out first, clamped it firmly between two fingers, unfolded the strip of cloth, and handed it to Daiyu. The teapot on the table was also knocked over to the ground, and together with the snacks and food on the table, there was a smell of wine.

It's just that at this time, everyone is looking at each other, speculating about what happened, and there is no extra energy to care about how the teapot on the table can contain wine.

Hongshi was anxious, and raised his voice: "Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid of affecting the palace?" I wanted to go forward to grab it, but I was firmly stopped by the mother-in-law brought by Jia Min, and he was not allowed to step forward.

"I'm really not afraid." Daiyu raised her eyebrows, the handwriting on the cloth strip was clear and clear, and the person standing behind Daiyu stretched his neck and saw the content on it clearly.

Daiyu spit out a mouthful of blood with a "poof", spurted it out directly, her body was soft, and she was quickly supported by the apricot fruit eyes beside her. Jia Min was confused by a series of things, so she only knew to hurry up and hold her daughter, "Go back, go back quickly, and call the imperial doctor." ”
