Chapter 22 Opening an account, the dark worm especially hits the window

The emperor allowed the concubine to go home to save her relatives, and the entire Jia Mansion began to build a large number of buildings for the concubine to come to the province.

Jia Lian also took the opportunity to arrange those small operas into Jia's mansion, and Jia Rong and Jia Qiang were conducting to learn some operas.

Qin Ye has been quite anxious about the money and food of the Nursery Hall recently, and the land deeds brought by Daiyu have no effect for a while because of the war, and he wants cash, but he has no way to tell Miss Lin that in order to support this Nursery, she has let herself put herself under the fence in the powerful Jia Mansion. The price of land in the capital is ridiculously high because of the influx of wealthy businessmen and refugees from all over the world, because of the addition of children, I can't buy a house for a while, I have to rent a few rooms, the children are older, and the daily use has increased a lot, and the overstretched days make Qin Ye have to run to Jia Zheng often, he goes there mostly to contact the little guys, so that they can inform Miss Lin of these difficulties, and later, Xing'er, who is in charge of contact, can't bear to tell Miss Lin, Miss Lin always takes some jewelry from her mother's makeup, and later moves her father's calligraphy and painting, Every now and then, she would secretly cry because she missed her parents. Zijuan knew Daiyu's hard work, and she was quite annoyed to see her doing these things so hopelessly alone. Sometimes Xing'er came, but she didn't report it.

"It's really strange, Second Master Jia is also a person in the middle, I haven't seen him take out his own silver, everything comes to bother my girl, she has a loan there, and she is embarrassed to let his little girl always come to our girl."

She complained to Daiyu: "There are a lot of men outside, I have to ask you to suffer this loss, who made you an official." ”

Daiyu smiled bitterly: "Qin Ye is my family, I can't let him beg others for money and look at other people's faces." Besides, the royal Taoist priests are always trying to find a way. There are too many women and children. ”

Tanchun is an informed person, and often comes to Daiyu to sit here: In my opinion, you shouldn't live in the capital, be a little remote, plant a little and harvest a little by yourself.

Daiyu smiled: I haven't thought about it, but where is it peaceful on the edge of the capital, there are too many bandits, and it is always unsafe for children to enter and exit, besides, these women and children can do farm work wherever they are.

A few days ago, Sister Feng and I stuffed a few people into the garden to plant some flowers and plants, and she agreed. Tanchun Dao: Anyway, those people have some ways to do it themselves, you can save a little there.

Daiyu's eyes were red, thank you to the third sister.

Baochai came in suddenly: Why Sister Lin is crying again, okay, which one is this.

Daiyu hurriedly wiped her tears: Sister Bao hates it, so she likes to tease me, so why don't you cry again.

Then I heard that you call her Tanya on weekdays, how can you call the third sister so seriously today.

Tanchun said: Because her mother's family has a few distant relatives who came over and were accepted by Sister Feng, thank me here, I said that those people who can't reach the eight poles come to her when they have difficulties, and let her ignore it, Sister Lin can't do it, so I don't talk about her.

Baochai smiled: Who doesn't have a poor relative, just our current step of the field, I don't know how many relatives come every year, it's too chaotic outside, I can help it, I just made a few clothes for a few girls, and I didn't have time to try it on them, a few mothers-in-law came, and they took it away, and Ying'er was angry and cried.

Sister Lin, I'm afraid it's not such a trivial matter as you.

Tanchun listened to Daiyu cough and held back his words.

On this day, Jia Lian asked Wang Xifeng to find Daiyu in person. The relationship between Daiyu and Xifeng is not bad, but in the end there is no separate relationship, most of Sister Feng's actions, Daiyu has already seen it clearly, just because she is just a girl in this Rong Mansion, Jia Lian and she are also brothers and sisters, in the end, there is nothing to owe in the righteousness of anti-Qing and Ming restoration, she is not very obsessed with anti-Qing and Ming restoration, but because of family and education and the master's actions, he naturally stands on the position of Qianming to look at the problem

She can't talk about it, but in her heart she actually doesn't take it for granted the actions of her second sister-in-law, such as usury, for example, she received other people's silver taels and forced people to die, such as using tricks to make money from other people's antique farms. All the actions, the lame Taoist priest and the leper monk did not say, she could only endure it, and therefore did not want to have too much contact with them. Moreover, the master had already ordered that all personnel should not tell their identities to any relatives or friends. Today, Jia Lian did such an outrageous thing, and she was a little puzzled in her heart. Thinking that this Jia Lian was afraid of guilt, Sister Feng must have understood clearly that it was useless to hide, so she had to follow Sister Feng into her room.

Xifeng pulled her down with a smile on her face, and asked her sister with a smile how she has been getting better recently, Daiyu nodded, saying that she was a little cowardly a few years ago, but now she is getting better

Xifeng ordered someone to make tea, and asked Jia Lian and Ping'er to take care of her outside, leaving only herself to talk to her.

Sister, I won't say much about your identity, it stands to reason that Second Master Lian shouldn't have told me about this, but because we all took care of the same master, I was particularly attached to her, I naturally wanted to protect her, but now I heard Grandma Rong say that the Inspectorate sent people to persecute her, how did the news leak, we analyze it carefully, I am afraid that the people in this house have leaked the news, and there are not many people who know Grandma Rong's previous identity.

Daiyu doesn't speak, she is kind by nature and doesn't want to think badly of people. What's more, in addition to Jia Lian, there are also Wang Xifeng, Li Kun and himself. At that time, Shi Xiangyun should have never seen the imperial concubine, but they should have a little impression. These people know the identity of this grandmother Rong, but who leaked the news is really unclear.

My sister said to me, but you don't know, Second Master Lian went to find a little eunuch he knew before yesterday, and the little eunuch originally got his grace, and he was afraid that he would be affected, so he told him everything

What about the eunuch? It's still in the middle of the sky. Second Master Lian gave him 3,000 taels of silver and asked him to be an undercover agent. They said that this golden seal was secretly told by Li Gongju, it turned out that he didn't know Li Gongju, everyone was investigating the case of Grandma Rong, and quietly planted someone next to her, who knew that Li Kun actually secretly went to see Grandma Rong, and was recognized by this person as the person who reported it back then. So I checked the birth of this Li Gongci, and by the way, Jia Zhu's life and death. They quietly invited a mother beside Li Kun, and before they could use the torture, they recruited them all. is said that Jia Zhu is indeed dead, and Grandma Rong met her when she was in Jinling before, and she is indeed a princess, so they let her go back and be an undercover agent, so that Yiqiē is still the same as before, and she is not allowed to make a noise. There is empirical evidence over there, and how Jia Zhen gets through has no effect. Now I want to dig a little deeper with this matter

Daiyu was quite surprised, in this Jia Mansion, she unknowingly invited people to go, and sent them back, she was too careless in Li Kun. After asking for details, she knew that there was no wind and no waves, and Grandma Rong must have some clues from the beginning. Later, Xifeng really said that Jia Rong stole some of Grandma Rong's jewelry to take it away, and these jewelry were naturally also eye-catching.

Daiyu said: That's it, it's hidden in the city, I think who will find Grandma Rong in such a big capital, it is these jewels that naturally cause trouble. The second brother's actions yesterday are only afraid that even he himself will be exposed. You asked the second brother not to do anything recently, and no one to connect.

Xifeng nodded hurriedly, the girl is really smart. No wonder even your second brother is the only one who looks to you.

Daiyu didn't answer her compliments, "**Grandma don't go to Grandma Rong, let the little girl report it." ”

How much did Li Kun say, she had to ask clearly. When she came back, she discussed with Qingwen, and Qingwen took the two little girls of the former archery team, Si Qi and the waiter, and took the nurse out and caught her directly in a broken temple.

First, the waiter lied to the mother that she went back to her brother's house today, and met her daughter and asked her mother to go back at night, as if her son-in-law had some land lawsuit and needed someone to help. That mother is also cautious, she doesn't want to go yet, she doesn't want to be in charge of things, and she scolds the waiter and says that you are in charge of idle things, and don't take these Rausch words when you go out in the future. Frightened, the waiter grimaced and ran away. The mother immediately believed it, and went home from the corner gate after the party, and called a carriage at the back door, which sent her directly to the temple.

Qingwen's eyes widened angrily, and said that your mother did something bad behind her grandmother's back, and if you don't make it clear, I will use this hairpin to poke your eyes into two holes.

The waiter stood aside with his hands in his hands: Mom, it's none of my business, it was Lian ** who forced me to do it. She can't get used to Wang Xifeng on weekdays, so she took the opportunity to practice her at this time.

This mother was really frightened at this time, and she slapped her mouth and said that the words she was going to say were taught by Li Kun, "Miss wants to protect the child of the concubine, and now that the concubine is exposed, she must protect the child to rest assured, it just so happened that the young lady went to Grandma Rong to know that one of her mothers was arrested, and she was scared, so she came back and taught her how to deal with it, and she practiced many times." Who knew that she was right, and she was really invited by the heavenly remnant, she pretended to be crazy and stupid and said those words, the purpose was to give Grandma Rong out and hide the child. They all knew about Grandma Rong, and I didn't say anything, I just protected Brother Lan, and the argument should be meritorious. ”

"Phew, don't put gold on your face, let me ask you, did your grandmother go to the yamen with you to tell Grandma Rong that she had a gold seal on her hand." ”

The mother refused to speak, and Qingwen was so angry that she wanted to prick her mouth with a hairpin, and she cried. "My young lady is still married to the Jia family, where can I live a good life, not to mention the widowhood, now for a brother, my own daughter can't take care of it, and I have to be angry with you, I don't live anymore, you only tell her to take care of herself, and my mother can't take care of her." Xun Gap touched the table to find death, Si Qi and the waiter hurriedly hugged each other, and the three women were in a ball.

Daiyu came out of the shadows, her face covered with a veil, and she scolded softly: "Don't make trouble, Mom, you respect it." Although her voice was soft, it naturally had a kind of majesty. All three stopped.

"You and your grandma are really confused, Grandma Rong had an accident and was implicated in Jiafu, there are so many people, who can escape, Brother Lan is a child, he can't escape even if he has three heads and six arms."

"People already know about her. I didn't deny it, though. Qingwen hated traitors the most, and at this time, she endured her disgust and looked at this mother coldly.

"But at the beginning, the Golden Seal case implicated the nine kings of the Ming Dynasty, two descendants, and killed eleven in one case. Without this case, there would be no today, and you tell me in detail what you said and who you saw in those days.

After Daiyu's interrogation, Daiyu didn't have hair yet, and the three girls were so angry that their faces turned white.

Daiyu ordered the servant to memorize the confession carefully, and went into the temple to hand it over to the lame monk and the lame Taoist.

The monk had a solemn face and took the confession. "In any case, keep the little prince safe."

"What to do with this mother." The lame Taoist priest said: "I can't let her go back, in case something happens, these girls are in danger." The lame Taoist priest was careful, ordered the mother's acupoint, tied her up and let her be taken away.

"What about my sister-in-law?" Daiyu burst into tears, thinking that she had always been attached to her like her own sister.

The lame Taoist priest looked at the monk. "You arrange. Don't be favoritistic" The monk is extremely painful, "focusing on big things." ”

Daiyu held back her tears and knelt down: "Two masters, sister-in-law has always been virtuous, and Brother Lan can't live without a mother, beg her to raise her child and give her a chance to atone for her crimes." Si Qi and the waiter also knelt down together. Qingwen stood still, she had always loved and hated. "There are such ruthless women in this world, I know it, but I'm afraid that if there is, I may not be able to teach children well." Cao Yun on the side hurriedly pulled her, and she gave him a blank look. It turned out that this Cao Yun was the coachman just now.

The two of them hurriedly picked up everyone, and the monk sighed, it was originally my fault. Daiyu looked at him and suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.

So they discussed how to deal with it, and the three girls came out with Cao Yun.

Cao Yun looked at Qingwen with a smile: "I haven't seen you for so many years, and I still have this temper." Qingwen snorted, "Knowing that you all have to do things that are peaceful, kill people to pay for your lives, and repay debts and money, everyone who dies like this will die in vain." ”

Cao Yun shook his head, nodded Qingwen's forehead, everything has passed here, slow down and be anxious. The sky doesn't fall,

Cao Yun looked at Qingwen, and now she is more and more beautiful, but she is still the kind of heartless naivety. He decided to go to Qingwen's mother and give him what Chen Zongbing had given him.

A few girls took Cao Yun's carriage back to Jiafu. Qingwen was wearing less clothes when she went out, and she was shivering from the cold, and when she entered the house, Baoyu was actually waiting for her, and attacked people to blame her: Where are you crazy, everyone who is tired can't sleep. Seeing that she was freezing like that, Baoyu hurriedly pulled her to the bed to cover her, and covered her hands for her. Qingwen looked at Baoyu with wide eyes, and smiled: "I've been aggrieved all day today, and it's good to see you." "Raiders are popular; Crazy enough to come back for a while, you are aggrieved. I went to sleep on the side.

Daiyu said: Si Qi, you can stay for a while, the day before yesterday I asked you to send your cousin the crossbow arrow pattern, I don't know how your cousin is doing.

Si Qi blushed, I didn't get it the day before yesterday, so I handed it over to him yesterday. Look at tomorrow I went to the workshop and asked.

Si Qi started early in the morning on the second day, and said that he had taken a leave of absence from the Spring Festival, saying that he had brought a letter from home last night and wanted to go back to see it.

Yingchun arrived: "You go and come back quickly, yesterday you went out, those mothers ate wine, came to me to make trouble, thanks to the little girls' cleverness, saying that you came, so they scared them back." ”

Si Qi was about to have a seizure at that time, "Those snobbish things that only look at people's faces," Yingchun hurriedly clasped his hands and said: "I didn't plan to tell you, it's just that you've been busy lately, and I really can't handle it." You just go and come back quickly, what will you entangle with them, I will bear with it. If you want to make trouble again, I won't tell you again. ”

Si Qi said: "Then you read the book carefully, and when I come back, I will give you anger." Yingchun smiled: "Don't be angry with me, the day before yesterday I saw that Baoyu bought a lot of straw straw weaving things for Miss Yun, and you can bring some back with me." Don't let them see it. ”

"It's convenient, I'll buy it for you first. It stands to reason that you should also pay attention to things, there was a jade hairpin in front of me, and I lost it when I missed it, and they took it as a gamble. ”

"This lets you know again, I don't bring it with me, whether you will go or not."

"Then I'm leaving."

Si Qi was about to go out, but he was not at ease: "I asked them to steam some Tangtang Zi osmanthus cake for you, don't let those long-mouthed ones eat it again." She repeatedly told the little girl before she came out with confidence.

When he arrived at the weapons store where his cousin Pan You'an was working, Xiao She at the door recognized her and hurriedly took her into a secret place. My cousin was working there with a few men, and when he saw her coming, he hurriedly said, "It's good, this time this drawing has been changed very well, even women are good at using this crossbow arrow." The master praised this person who made the drawing, and he could compare with the grandfather. Do you want to try it? ”

Si Qi smiled: "You teach me." ”

Pan Youan took the crossbow arrow and asked Si Qi to take it: "You see, you only need to practice this hand and don't move around, it is easy to fire, and you don't even need to be right." ”

Si Qi gave it a try, and her cousin saw that her right hand was unstable, so he hugged her from behind and helped her stabilize her right hand. Her ears were immediately warm, and her heart was beating. Hurriedly put down the arrow.

"By the way, you don't seem to have a strong right hand. You're left-handed. Pan Youan thought for a while: "Ming'er, I'll help you design a small crossbow with your left hand, which can be hidden in your sleeve." ”

"Then I'll have these taken back, and the car is waiting outside."

"I'll send it out, it's already installed, and someone will check everything we have here when we go out to the Tongbei Mansion. Thankfully, I did it. ”

Pan You'an and his men handed a basket of crossbow arrows out of the road, there was a stable on that side, opened the dark board, and Cao Yun led people to pick it up there and send it to the carriage. The carriage moved slowly, and Huang Yi, who was watching the wind at the mouth of the alley, went to the laundry room with a package. Jia Qiang and Jia Rong, who were coming out of Xue Pan's house, bumped into her, their clothes were scattered, and Huang Yi was busy picking them up. Jia Qiang even said sorry, Huang Yi stood up, got a blessing, and hurriedly left. When Jia Qiang saw Huang Yi, she couldn't help but sigh, touch Jia Rong, look at this person, he looks like a grandmother. Jia Rong looked back, and Chana Huangyi also turned around.

On this day, Baoyu got up from a nap and was about to enter Daiyu's room, but saw Daiyu go through the mezzanine to Li Kun alone, because Jia's mother was afraid that the place was not wide enough, so she only left Baoyu Daiyu by her side. followed from afar, but saw her enter Li Kun's room. Because Li Kun is widowed and has to take care of the children, there is nothing that the girls usually don't go to her, he was curious for a while, and hid outside the door, wanting to wait for her to come out and scare her. Who knew that she didn't come out of Li Kun's house for a long time, he thought that Sister Lin was naughty, and he didn't come out because he saw him earlier, so he tiptoed to the window to look, but saw Li Kun pulling Daiyu's sleeve in the room and seemed to be begging for something, saying, "Sister spare me, if I don't have this child, I won't be able to live." Daiyu burst into tears, let Li Kun pull her, and asked busily outside the window, "What's wrong with the eldest sister, why did you make Miss Lin sad?" Li Kun was startled and hurriedly said, "How dare I make the girl sad." Miss Lin is gray into her eyes, begging me to help her blow it. Daiyu sneered: "I can't beg you to do these things." Lost in the ashes, or confused. It's okay, you can do it yourself. "I came out by myself and went back with Baoyu all the way, my face was very pale. Reluctantly smiled at Baoyu and said, "I'm tired." ”

Baoyu said: "She was going to help you, how angry are you." ”

"I'm angry with me, what do I have to do with you." Daiyu snatched a sentence.

I went back and fell asleep. Baoyu stayed by the bedside, confused, and told Zijuan what Daiyu said Li Kun said, Zijuan hurriedly asked Baoyu to go back to his room first, Baoyu begged: "Good sister, you let me watch here, feel at ease, wait for me to go to the back, I have to come a few times at a time, it is better to be quiet here." Zijuan said seriously: "Then Second Master Bao can remember, you can't talk about every word you hear here, Miss Lin is careful, if you let outsiders spread the word, you will definitely ignore you." ”

Baoyu smiled: "I may not be able to tell a relative, but what can I say to outsiders." He turned around and begged Daiyu, "I didn't sleep well during the afternoon nap, so I will lie down next to your bed for a while, and I will use your pillow."

Daiyu said: "There is a pillow outside, you go to the warm pavilion outside to lie down." ”

"I won't go, but I don't know what kind of stinky woman used that pillow."

Daiyu sneered, "You are really my destiny star," and gave him his pillow, "Please use this." He took another pillow and rolled over and fell asleep. Baoyu smelled the fragrance on Daiyu's body, and hurriedly asked, "Sister, what kind of incense do you use?" ”

Daiyu smiled: "I don't have any incense, and I don't have any brothers, you can mix some incense pills for me." ”

Baoyu said: "If you say it again, I won't spare you." "Reach out to scratch her. Daiyu dodged away and said with a smile: "Don't talk about it, good brother, let's talk seriously." So Baoyu lay down peacefully. Na Daiyu saw that there was rouge cream on his face, gently wiped it with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Don't let your uncle see it, everyone can't be calm." Baoyu smiled: "I splashed it when I got up early and mixed rouge with them." Daiyu smiled. Close your eyes for a moment and pretend to sleep. Baoyu looked at her carefully, so much that it didn't fit her eyes. Suddenly, I heard her say, "Do you have a warm incense?" Baoyu wondered: "What is that, how do I have it." ”
