Jia Lian could hide the things he went to inquire about from others, but he couldn't hide it from Lin Ruhai. He got out of the ya, and immediately went back to the house and asked Jia Min, "Has Brother Lian come to look for you recently?" ”

Jia Min looked inexplicable, "Lian'er, what's wrong with him, did he cause any trouble outside?" ”

If you can ask these words, it means that there is no more, Lin Ruhai frowned, "Has your mother's family ever asked you to borrow money privately, or pulled you to do business and become a shareholder." ”

Jia Min hurriedly shook his head, "Master, how dare I hide this kind of thing from you, and besides, what business can they do that is worth my share." "The family's shops, Zhuangzi, are in Jinling and Yangzhou, and she can't keep busy with these alone.

"I don't care about the money, are you sure you don't?" Lin Ruhai's voice was a little stern, and Jia Min covered his chest in fright.

"Master, don't scare me, is it Lian'er that they did something." No matter how stupid you are, you know that something must have happened.

Seeing that Lin Ruhai didn't speak, Jia Min became a little sober, and hurriedly said: "No, really not, it has absolutely nothing to do with our family." The master has confessed before, I remember clearly, how could I commit it. ”

Lin Ruhai stretched his brows at this time, "That's good, since Madame said so, I definitely believe it." Madame is doing a good job, and I need to see this again. ”

That said, it won't be said now.

When Daiyu came to greet Jia Min early the next morning, she saw that her mother's eyes were a little blue, and she was concerned: "Did my mother not sleep well last night, let's make up for sleep in the morning." ”

"Daiyu, you, do you know, forget it, it's nothing." Jia Min had the heart to ask her daughter, but she felt that she was suspicious, as if she was too careful. It is impossible for the daughter to know about the money in Jiafu, so it is useless to ask.

"I don't know what my mother wants to ask, but my daughter heard that her grandmother's family is very tough and has paid off all the money borrowed by the Xia family." Daiyu thought about it, and it seemed that there was only such news recently. Yingchun's family affairs were decided, Si Qi threw himself into the needlework, and was busy preparing needlework for the young lady, and there was very little useful news coming.

"Returned, returned?" Jia Min suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart, 100,000 taels of silver, it has only been a few months, and he said that he would pay it back, where did this silver come from.

It's no wonder that Jia Min didn't know, the two families didn't make a noise about borrowing silver, only people close to them guessed eight/nine. The silver will not be publicized, and the concealment is impenetrable, and no news has been heard outside.

Si Qi is also in a hurry, in order to prepare for the Spring Festival, he often deals with the steward, and has seen Ping'er a few times. Guessing a little based on the faces before and after, it is also very consistent with the facts.

"But something happened out there." Last night, as soon as my father came back, he went to his mother's house, and he didn't even enter the study, so it was obvious that something was wrong.

"What's the use of a mother being in a hurry, one person is short, two are long, and my daughter is learning to be a housekeeper, and it's not a bad thing to know at all."

Seeing that her daughter was so calm, Jia Min's heart also stabilized, and she smiled and said, "This girl, I don't know who she looks like." "Naturally, he is very similar to Lin Ruhai, back then, he was also like this, so he got the blue eyes of Grandpa Guo.

didn't hide it at the moment, and told Jia Lian what he was inquiring about outside. Daiyu frowned immediately after hearing this, "Is this a fatality?" ”

"It's not necessarily his business, this family has nothing to do with him, I'm afraid that he doesn't know the importance and will take it on behalf of others outside."

Daiyu shook her head, "Mother, don't go back to your grandmother's house during this time, let's see it later." ”

After reassuring Jia Min a few times, he went back to his house. Pick up a pen and scribble on the paper, adding annotations next to people's names from time to time.

I can't stop writing this, and when Daiyu writes everything she knows, and then spreads it out to take a look, this line will be drawn out.

The ninth master took Xia Sun and the two under his command, not to get these silvers, but to collect the Rongguo Mansion for her own use, which was something she had already figured out before. But the Ninth Master is obviously more vicious than she thought, threatening people with silver, which is obviously not enough insurance.

must have known about Jiafu's release of Yinzi money, and used IOUs to force them to take risks, so that it would be easy for them to have accidents. I don't know if the death of these people has anything to do with the people of the Ninth Master, anyway, it is now counted on the head of Rongguofu.

Whether or not to lift the lid on this matter, it is up to the Rongguo Mansion to cooperate with them.

Wait, Daiyu put down the pen, there are still problems on this line that don't make sense. Due to the convenience brought by the previous life, coupled with the observation of this life, the matter of Yinzi Qian was proposed by Mrs. Wang, but it was in the hands of Sister Feng. If something happens, Mrs. Wang can push it all away.

Rongguo Mansion itself is not monolithic, if Yuan Chun in the palace cooperates, what benefits can Mrs. Wang get.

So, Daiyu touched her chin and suddenly smiled.

Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng are interesting and interesting, it seems that they really have to keep an eye on them and see what they want to do.

This time, it is a little difficult to rely on Si Qi again, first, she has a landing to follow Yingchun out of the house, not floating like duckweed before, and second, she is afraid that something will affect Miss, and she will not dare to do anything again.

Xingguo is young, and some maids come and go, but those old servants are not something she can hook up with. Even if he accepted her money on the surface, he might have turned around and sold her.

There are old servants brought out from Jiafu by Jia Min's side, but if someone catches the handle, it is too conspicuous, and the girl who marries out makes people worship ghosts and ghosts to inquire about her mother's family, and it is really not good to spread it.

I was hiding something in my heart, and when I went out with Ulan Gege again, I brought some out of my face.

"What's the matter, I can hide everything in your heart." Ulan's chubby hand was carrying a flower, and he didn't know where he picked it from.

"It's nothing ......" and so on, this matter seems to have something to do with Hongyun, and his tone changed, "Where are we going to eat at noon?" ”

Ulan's eyes rolled, and he smiled: "Have you reconciled with my eldest brother?" ”

Daiyu glanced at her, "What's reconciled or not, it's just your eldest brother." As if he had been better off with him, his face slowly turned a little red, and he turned his head and refused to pay attention to her.

Ulan touched his nose and sneered, "I haven't learned anything else, but I've learned how to coax a chick, but I'm also a chick." With her hands outstretched, she was small and short, and when she spoke softly, others could not hear her. Only the close-fitting maid vaguely heard a few words, her eyelids drooped, and she repeatedly made amazing words, but she couldn't hear it.

During the meal, Hongyun had already ordered food in the private room and was waiting for them, looking at a table of Yangzhou dishes, Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled.

Ulan ate quickly, and after eating, she bluffed to go to the shop next door, saying that someone had a new product, and she went with the maid, for fear that someone would keep her. As soon as she left, the whole private room fell silent, and Hongyun scooped the meat under the fish's eyes with a spoon and sent it to Daiyu's bowl.

"Amma always says that this piece of meat is the essence of the whole fish."

"Then you can eat too." Daiyu took the fisheye meat on the other side to him.

"When I was a child, I ate fish, and the fish eye meat was one for me and Amma, and E-niang always laughed at us. Later, even the four emperors knew about it, and they would blackmail me when they ate. But Hongshi was envious to death, saying that the four emperors had never been so kind to him. Hongyun saw that Daiyu's attitude was indeed soft, and he also relaxed, and talked about the things around him.

"The relationship between the fourth master and the thirteenth master is really rare, it seems that there has always been such harmony between the other elder brothers." Daiyu meant something, Hongyun really raised his head, no one would say such a thing for no reason.

"Jiubeizi's movements during this period are very big, and you, as a nephew, don't say that you care about it." The fourth master and the thirteenth master have long been one, and Hongyun, as the eldest son, must know the inside story.

So what does the Ninth Master want to do, how can it have nothing to do with Hongyun, thinking about this, Daiyu knows what she should do.

"It's not that the silver of Jiafu has been returned." Hongyun even knew about it, and Daiyu knew that she had found the right person.

"It's just that it's returned, it's very bad." Daiyu clicked to the end, and didn't say more, Hongyun didn't ask more, knowing what was going on, just send someone to inquire about the details.

"Who doesn't have one or two bad relatives, it doesn't have to be like that. Look at me, you should feel at ease. "Hongyun has more than a dozen imperial uncles, more than a dozen aunts, ministers of the DPRK and China, and many marriages with the royal family, which is simply a tome of chronicles.

Thinking of this, Daiyu smiled "poof", "How can anyone say this about their relatives, they should be beaten." ”

"Then you fight." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and handed it to her, Daiyu smiled and slapped it with two fingers, but he held it with his backhand, and his eyes sparkled as if he wanted to suck people into it.

Daiyu bit her lower lip, "Let go." ”

"Ama said that he gave you a jade plaque back then, but he never saw you wear it." At that time, he didn't understand, but in the past few years, Eniang tried to help him look at each other, but asked Ama to stop him, and he said the jade card very proudly.

Jade plate, Daiyu was puzzled, and suddenly thought that Hongyun had a piece of white jade tied to his waist all the year round, the same size, the first time the thirteenth master returned to the Lin family, it seemed that he had given such a piece, and Jia Min asked her to save it on the grounds that it was too valuable.

"E-Niang slowly began to communicate with her grandfather's family during this time, and I think it won't be long before I can go out of the house. When the time comes, I will talk to your mother. Hongyun finished speaking in a panic, although his expression was panicked, the words were extremely familiar, as if he had practiced at home.

"Also, the Fourth Emperor Uncle will also discuss with your father, well, you, you ......" Seeing that Daiyu had not spoken, Hongyun's courage that she had finally mustered up was suddenly exhausted, and she hung her head in frustration, could it be that she didn't want to? If, if you really don't want to, it is because you haven't heard from her for so many years that you have parted with her.

The young man's mind, up and down, ups and downs, has already made up a picture of Daiyu and the next to him, and this heart is suddenly broken into slag, and the sewing can't be sewn.

Where Daiyu didn't speak, he couldn't speak at all, what he meant......

"It's my father again, it's my mother again, why don't I understand, and I don't know if Ulan is bored alone, I'd better go find her." Daiyu said while laughing, and she was very nervous in her heart, how old the other party is, how old she is.

"I, I am pleased with you." Hongyun felt that there was a breath of anger on the top of his head, and his intuition told him that he had to speak, otherwise he would definitely regret it.

Daiyu's heart "banged", like a heavy mallet hitting the drum surface, shaking her numb. A strange sensation churned from his heart, permeating his whole body, and the flush spread from his face to the base of his ears. She, she was confessed by a teenager, what is the situation.

got up and left, but was stopped by Hongyun, and couldn't help but retreat, behind him was the cold wall of the private room. One hand was raised against the wall, and the two of them were so close that the warm manly breath almost sprayed on her face, burning her dizzy and weak.

"I mean really, I didn't lie to you." Hongyun was a little anxious, and when he saw the woman's face as bright as a peach blossom and the tips of her pink ears, her voice was also hoarse.

"Get out of the way." Daiyu didn't know what was wrong with her, so she wasn't annoyed, she just stretched out her hand to push him farther away.

"Oh." Hongyun's face turned gray, depressed to the extreme, and his heart sank, his body seemed to be immersed in snow water, and his frozen bones were sour.

Seeing that he really retreated according to his words, he lowered his head without saying a word, and couldn't help but purse the corners of his lips, "I didn't say I didn't believe it." ”

A sentence was like a rain falling, Zi's Hongyun's limbs and bones were soothed, and the whole person came back to life, with a happy face, "That, that ......"

"I'm going out to find Urangeg." Daiyu really couldn't bear to see him look dumbfounded, so she took a sip, opened the door and ran out.

Unexpectedly, Ulan Gege was even more lively, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl knelt in front of Ulan Gege, crying a handful of snot and tears.

"What's going on?" Daiyu hurried over and was relieved to see that Ulan Gege was protected by her grandmother, and nothing should have happened.

"I don't know, isn't this the girl who sent her eldest brother to save her, she has already been sent to her house, I don't know why, but she suddenly ran to me and cried." Ulan looked puzzled.

"Ask Gege to take in the people's daughter, otherwise the people's daughter will only die. What I didn't want to leave was that the eldest brother insisted on driving me away and begged Gege to take me in. Peach Blossom's remarks have attracted some onlookers, and when they heard this, many people squeezed their eyebrows, obviously thinking that there was something greasy here.

"A dead end, what a way to die, let's hear it." Daiyu frowned, it was an eventful time, and the bull ghost and snake god who suddenly popped up couldn't pay too much attention.

Peach Blossom raised her head and saw this woman, dressed in a blue shirt and skirt, with a jade ring pressure skirt that could drip water around her waist, slender fingers, and a bracelet with gold wire inlaid with multi-colored gemstones on her wrist. The light refracted by the gem almost dazzled her eyes.

Even the maidservants beside her were all silk forged shirts, and there were gold and silver rings on their hands, and one even wore a glossy gold bracelet. Thinking of this, there was nothing she couldn't speak.

"The eldest brother refused to take in the people's daughter, and let people send them back to the people's uncle's house, every day they didn't have enough food and clothing, and they had to get up and work when the rooster crowed three times, without a moment's rest. I beg Gege to show mercy and save the people's daughter. The voice was unusually desolate, his head pressed to the ground, and he whimpered and cried.

Although Wulan is a little lonely, but when she is young, when she hears this kind of thing, she suddenly feels extremely miserable, and she is about to speak, but she sees Sister Lin gently pinching the back of her hand with her hand.

In her place, he asked, "Does your uncle have children?" ”

Peach Blossom didn't understand why the noble man asked this, but she still replied, "There is a cousin." ”

"Are you eating together?"

"Yes, but ......" my cousin is used to doing it, how can she be the same.

"Shut up, you can answer whatever the lady asks, and you won't say a word." Agarwood spoke, and the frightened peach blossom swallowed back the words behind her.

"Then you don't work together?" Daiyu asked again.

"Yes, ......"

"I think it's because my uncle's family is poor, do they also work all day long?"

"Yes, yes." Peach Blossom couldn't stop nodding, his family used to have good land, and his father had a beautiful carpentry job. If it weren't for the fact that my mother was sick first, she sold the family's fertile land, and in the end she couldn't stand it and left, and my father fell ill again, so I really had no choice but to borrow the money from Yinzi, and I wouldn't have made it like this. At the beginning, she was also a girl raised by her father.

"Since they eat, live and work together like you, what can they not do?" As long as she is not abused, how can the children of poor families have idle meals.

The onlookers only heard the taste at this time, but what happened to the eldest brother in front of him who refused to take him in?

"The eldest brother traveled with us that day, and when he saw that you were being collected for debts, he was also pitiful for a while, and drove away the bad guys for you and repaid the silver, and then sent you to your uncle's house. Isn't that enough? What do you want to do, go to the Elder Brother's Mansion to be Gege? Please be early in the next life, reincarnation is a technical job. ”

finally pointed out the most important reason, and many people laughed, clearly seeing the wealth of other people's families, it is not enough to save people, but also to let people save a lifetime.

Hearing the ridicule in her ears, Peach Blossom couldn't wait to cover her ears, obviously it shouldn't be like this, shouldn't she feel pitiful and take her back to the house? Follow Gege first, but have a chance to get close to the eldest brother, as long as the eldest brother sees her, her heart is upset, and she can't help crying bitterly.

Ulan's eyes widened, without saying a word, and pulled Daiyu's sleeve, "Let's go." ”

"Where's the big brother?" Ulan got into the carriage, still puzzled, "Obviously I saved her, how could this still happen?" ”

I don't really know where your eldest brother went, but he probably left the private room through another door. This question was automatically ignored, and he said directly: "This is Delong Wangshu, when there is nothing, I think it is good to have one, but when I really have one, I feel that it is not enough." ”

"If you don't come, I might actually bring her back." Ulan thought for a moment.

"It doesn't matter if you bring it back, Gege just needs to remember that she is a civilian, and unless she sells herself, she can't be a slave." Thinking about it again, even if Ulan doesn't understand, the family understands, and she doesn't need to worry about it.

Hongyun didn't hear his sister talk about the outside until the evening, and couldn't help frowning, he knew that there was such a thing, so he went out to reprimand it in person. In order to inquire about Jiafu, he left in a hurry and just missed it.

"It's good if the eldest brother is not there, Sister Lin said that if the eldest brother is there, it will be troublesome. Although the trick of a woman crying, making trouble and hanging herself is old-fashioned, few men can parry it. ”

"Wulan, what else did Sister Lin say, hurry up and tell me together." Ulan suddenly covered his mouth, looking frustrated, "I promised not to say anything." ”

"Big brother promises not to sue Sister Sù Lin, it's okay." Hongyun is still coaxing children.

"Big brother lies." Ulan is really not easy to deceive, and runs away on his short legs.

Hongyun was in a good mood today, so much so that the Thirteenth Master thought it was good news. As a result, when he received such news, he smiled and said, "It doesn't look like a good thing." ”

"The son is not for this."

"Oh, that's why, is it the daughter of a family that you have a crush on?" The Thirteenth Master deliberately teased him.

Hongyun was annoyed, "Amma......"

"Okay, okay, no kidding, let me see, it's really interesting. What will Jia Fu do, find someone to inquire. The Thirteenth Master seemed to be talking to himself, which really caused Hongyun to prick up his ears.

"Who is Amma going to ask to inquire?"

"Hey, how can you take care of Amma's affairs, you don't allow Amma to take care of your affairs."

"Ama ......" Hongyun was annoyed again, making the thirteenth master laugh, since he couldn't leave the house, his biggest hobby became to make his son angry. Obviously he is still a child, and he pretends to be an adult with a strict sù coldness, which is really funny.

"Okay, I won't tease you, I'll find your Uncle Fu." The thirteenth master also knew that his son was older, and he was very measured.

Hearing the word Uncle Fu, Hongyun's eyes lit up, and he disappeared with a "whoosh".

Then Ulan Gege would send someone to deliver a letter every two days, and from time to time he would bring a handful of freshly pinched flowers, or freshly baked snacks, or even a newly made fat powder or balm from the palace. There are all kinds of food, drink and merry, almost all of them are included.

The letter was naturally written by Hongyun, and it was the situation in Jiafu during this time. Sister Feng was sick and rushed to the doctor, and Mrs. Wang sat firmly in Diaoyutai. It seems that Mrs. Wang has already made a decision in her heart.

At the end of the letter, she drew a small dice, she held the letter and smiled, the exquisite dice An red bean, into the bones of lovesickness Jun knows.

Everyone waited for Mrs. Wang's decision, but no one expected that Baoyu would take the little maid to the door of the Lin family. Although Jia Min no longer had that thought, he was still very good to his nephew, so he quickly asked someone to pick him up and hugged him, "Why are you here, and you didn't say hello in advance." ”

"Auntie, you haven't been back for a long time, and my grandmother and I miss you." Baoyu only said that he missed her, and nothing else, looked at her again, and pretended to ask unintentionally, "Why don't you see my cousin." ”

"Your cousin is afraid that she is painting at this time, so I will ask her to call her." Between relatives, it is time to see each other, but it is in the presence of Jia Min.

Daiyu came, in front of Jia Min, Baoyu was crazy except to say hello. No one could see that he had something to say, but he didn't dare to say it in front of Jia Min.

When leaving, Baoyu took the initiative to say, "Let my sister give me a ride, I still have something to ask her about." ”

"Go ahead." Although Jia Min was puzzled, in his own home, the maid and the maid followed, and he didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary when he wanted to.

"Sister, tomorrow you want to go out, I have something very important to tell you, you must come." Baoyu lowered her voice, leaned into her ear and said a word, and immediately straightened up, without any more movements.
