21. Hearing the story, Jia Taijun gave an order

Hearing the news, Lin Qingyun hurriedly wrapped her plain satin cloak and went to Daiyu's room.

In the original work, there is a lot of ink on Qin Keqing's death, the funeral is grand and extravagant, and the princes and princes are sacrificed on the road, where is it like the funeral of a junior daughter-in-law of the Jia family. Later generations speculated that Qin Keqing was the daughter of the first abolished prince, Lin Qingyun hadn't paid attention to these things for so long, if she hadn't heard about it today, she would have forgotten Qin Keqing. Qin Keqing's death was the official beginning of the whole story of the Red Mansion, pushing the Jia family to Xuan He, who was cooking oil in the fire, and dragging it into the abyss, and the huge family collapsed.

Qingyun is not sure what Qin Keqing's true identity is, but it is by no means simple, the Jia family is also bold, for the sake of wealth and power, they actually took Qin Keqing as a vote, how could they expect the future outcome of their family.

"Girl, big girl is here." The little maid in Daiyu's room, Xiaoli, opened the felt curtain, and her voice was crisp.

Xiaoli is only ten years old, she looks good, and she has a pair of small dimples, and her smile is extremely cute. In the past, Qingyun always liked to tease her when she came over, but today she has no heart.

Bypassing the large carved screen of red plum in the snow standing in the local area, I saw Daiyu getting up from the warm couch, still wiping her tears with a handkerchief in her hand.

"Why did my sister come over on such a cold day, sister, sit down, Zijuan pours hot tea." Daiyu commanded repeatedly, and stuffed the small hand stove with lotus pattern begonia pattern in her commonly used copper wire pinching enamel lotus pond into her hand.

Qingyun took over the stove from the good stream, sat down and looked at her slightly reddened eyes, and asked, "I heard that someone from the Jia family came to report the funeral?" I listened to the girl in a trance, but I didn't know who it was. ”

Daiyu's eyes moistened again when she heard this, and she endured sadness and said slowly: "It's Xiao Rong's grandmother in Dongfu, who is only nineteen years old, although she has been sick in recent years, but it has not deteriorated, and even heard that she has a good doctor some time ago, and she is already better, how do you know......"

"My sister likes her?" Qingyun knew that Daiyu was sensitive and had a real temperament, so she couldn't tell the root cause when she was sad.

Daiyu smiled when she heard this, and it was difficult to hide her sadness and appreciation in her smile: "Speaking of her, there is no one in the Jia family who doesn't like her, she is well-born, has a good temperament, and understands poetry and can speak, she really can't pick out one among thousands of people." Although she was a few years older and a generation shorter than me, she was gentle and submissive, and the sisters liked to spend time with her. You see that Sister Feng is such a powerful person, but she is the closest to her, so it can be seen that she is indeed a pain. God is too unfair, such a good person has such a short life. ”

"Listening to you, I'm sorry I didn't get to see her." Lin Qingyun made a special trip over, of course she wouldn't be sad for someone she hadn't met, she thought of the follow-up effect of Qin Keqing's death, and she couldn't hold back her panic for a while.

To say that she really has no ambitions in this life, it is already God's love to be able to get a healthy body again, she just wants the Lin family's father and daughter to be safe and happy for a lifetime, and repay the kindness. However, as soon as Qin Keqing dies and Yuan Chun becomes a concubine, the Jia family will inevitably rise again, and at that time, Lin Ruhai must have also been newly appointed, can Jia Muyan stop thinking about it? If you use Jia Yuanchun to do something, it will be too late to regret it. Even so, she couldn't tell Lin Ruhai directly, in the final analysis, due to the limitations of her identity, where could a girl's family talk about marrying someone.

Daiyu collected her tears, ordered Juan Bi to take the account book, and said: "Xiaorong's daughter-in-law is a junior, our family doesn't have to go over to the end, just prepare some rituals and order the housekeeper to go." ”

"That's right." said this, but Lin Qingyun knew that this funeral was unusual, but he could take advantage of this to talk to Lin Ruhai.

suddenly remembered that it was Wang Xifeng who was in charge of the funeral, and recalled the things he did in the original book, which really made people love, hate, sad and sigh. It is estimated that Wang Xifeng really let go of his courage to seek money, it was only after Qin Keqing's funeral that Qingyun had the intention to stop it, but because she liked Wang Xifeng, she didn't want her to end up with the fate of betraying her relatives and dying tragically like in the original book, but what could she do?

Daiyu chose the ritual and ordered someone to order it, and when she looked up, she looked up and saw that her eyebrows were deeply locked and she seemed to be confused, and she couldn't help but wonder: "What does my sister think?" Isn't there something hard to solve? ”

Qingyun hesitated for a moment, and said to her, "I'm thinking about Second Grandma Lian." ”

"Sister Feng? What happened to Sister Feng? Daiyu was even more dazed.

He opened his mouth, and finally shook his head with a smile. At this time, the matter has just come out, and Wang Xifeng has not yet taken over the affairs of Dongfu, what can she say? I just thought of the incident that was concluded for the nun in the steamed bun nunnery a few days later, and my heart was heavy, two lives.

Her eyes flashed, and she thought of a person - Baoyu!

In the eyes of the world, Jia Baoyu is definitely a hakama, even in the eyes of the Jia family, Baoyu will only mess around in the sisters, but it is undeniable that Baoyu has many benefits that the world does not have. Baoyu takes her daughter very seriously, thinking that her daughter is flesh and blood made of water, and she should be cherished and cared for, and because of the rebellion against the feudal and conservative in her bones, she appreciates the people who love for love, if you know such stories, you will definitely be moved. Although Baoyu has almost no mobility, he doesn't have to do anything about it, as long as he opens his mouth to talk about it.

"I suddenly remembered a story, would my sister want to hear it?"

"What's the story?" Daiyu's eyes lit up, she had heard Qingyun tell a lot of stories in the past, and they were all very interesting.

"It's true, and I heard it from someone outside." Then Qingyun told the story in Jingxu's mouth. "There is a rich man surnamed Zhang in Chang'an Mansion, and his family has a daughter named Brother Jin, who was given to the son of the former Chang'an garrison. Originally, it was a good family affair, but one day he went to the temple to offer incense, but he was seen by Li Yanei of the grandfather's family in Chang'an City, and he was sure to marry him as his wife. ”

Before she finished speaking, Daiyu frowned and said: "It's so unreasonable, how could a good girl's family go to the temple to offer incense, how could she be seen by a foreign man?" The Zhang family is a rich man, and there are many girls and mothers-in-law around the girl, so when you go to the temple, you must prepare in advance, and such a thing should not happen. ”

It is true that the poor family does not pay attention to these things, but if there are some family resources to raise their daughters, where can they let the foreign man look at it a little bit. Some family members will clear the temple, and those who can't bear it, the girl's family will not leave the hat, and they will be surrounded by the front and back.

Qingyun said with a smile: "What my sister said is very true, that temple is a nunnery, and foreign men should be more careful when entering and exiting, how can there be such an accident?" When this incident came out, the garrison of the fixed family naturally wanted to ask the Zhang family, but the parents of the Zhang family were annoyed and wanted to withdraw the ceremony, and now the two families are in a lawsuit. ”

Daiyu is not a little girl who knows everything, since she returned to Yangzhou last year, because of Qingyun's intervention, she has actively or passively known a lot of officialdom, and now when she heard these words, she immediately jumped out of her children's private feelings and thought of officialdom.

"The Zhang family is a rich man, but he once married the original garrison family of Chang'an Mansion, which is unusual, which shows that the Zhang family has the intention to cling to the powerful. Everyone in the world is like this, and it is not wrong to hope to have power to protect themselves, as long as the two families are willing. It's just that now that there is a prefect son, they want to quit their relatives regardless of their daughter's reputation, but they are afraid that something happens to the garrison family and not only leaves office, but also is more likely to step down or resign. After a little hesitation, he said, "I wonder why the prefect's family is involved?" Speaking of which, the Zhang family is just a rich man, and Brother Jin is engaged, if the prefect wants to find his relatives, why bother to target Brother Jin? ”

Lin Qingyun was stunned when she was asked, she didn't expect this.

"There's a benefit to that, too."

Daiyu felt that she wouldn't guess such a story for no reason, so she asked directly.

Qingyun said: "It's just because I'm worried about Brother Jin." Although the Zhang family's parents clinged to the powerful and rebelled, Brother Jin was a fierce and loyal woman. If the Zhang family really retreats from their relatives in the future, they are afraid that Brother Jin will ......"

"Sister, is there a way?" Daiyu is soft-hearted, even if she has never seen Brother Jin, she doesn't want something to happen to such a young girl's family.

Qingyun asked rhetorically, "Does my sister know why I told you this?" I heard that Zhang Jiatuo is looking for a way and wants to win this lawsuit, who are you talking about Zhang Jiatuo? ”

"I know?" Daiyu wasn't sure.

"It is an old nun in Mantou Nunnery, who is said to have been a monk in Shancai Nunnery in Chang'an County and is familiar with the Zhang family. This steamed bun nunnery is the family temple of the Jia family, and the nuns in the temple often go to the Jia family to walk around, and they are very familiar with the daughters of the Jia family. ”

"Manju-an...... Sister is talking about Suigetsu-an? I heard that his steamed buns are very good, and there is such a nickname, the nuns in this temple do often go to Jia's house to withdraw the moon incense for silver, and the fourth sister is very familiar with a little nun called Zhizhi'er. What does my sister mean, will the Jia family take care of such things? Daiyu frowned subconsciously, even if she wanted to defend the Jia family, but she had lived in the Jia family for a few years, and she knew that the people of the Jia family were acting, but she was afraid that she had really done such things. When I think of this, my heart is sullen, and I feel both ashamed and worried.

"I heard that Mrs. Jia cherishes the old and pities the poor, she is very compassionate, if my sister has a heart, she can plan a plan, and she may be able to help a group of Brother Jin."

"Sister, say it quickly!" Daiyu asked hurriedly.

Qingyun smiled: "You forgot that the second master of the Jia family's phoenix egg treasure is not successful." ”

Daiyu was first stunned by her ridicule, and then remembered Baoyu's temperament, and couldn't help but smile: "Yes, Baoyu is the most pitiful and cherishes jade, the old lady is getting older and more compassionate, and she may be able to help Brother Jin." ”

Immediately, Daiyu took out a few things, and ordered Zijuan to go to Jiafu in person to give Sanchun Baochai and Baoyu, and instructed her to say something. It was nothing more than pretending to tell Baoyu a story without intention, and then telling him that it was true, which aroused Baoyu's pity and made him mention it in front of Jia's mother and sisters.

Daiyu only thought about Jia's mother taking care of this matter at first, but later felt that it was unrealistic, but it could make the Jia family withdraw from this matter. Once Baoyu told the matter, Jia's mother would have to say something reassuring, and the people who would pay attention to the direction of the wind in the house at any time would naturally know about it, even if the old nun really begged to go to the door of Jia's house, Mrs. Wang or Wang Xifeng and others did not dare to take it anymore.

No matter what happens in private, he has to pretend to be a bodhisattva on his face, that is, Wang Xifeng is not afraid of retribution, but he does not dare to openly do things such as daring to cover up lawsuits. The matter of the bright road that passed in front of Jia Mu naturally can't take the trouble on the side.

This is also Lin Qingyun's purpose, in order to withdraw Wang Xifeng from it.

Zijuan went to Jia's house, and it happened that the sisters were all at Jia's mother's place, and Jia's mother asked about Daiyu one by one, and Zijuan was pulled aside by Baoyu to ask long and short questions. According to Daiyu's explanation, Zijuan pretended to inadvertently tell the story he heard, and added a lot of his own words to it, which made people feel that Li Yanei was hateful, the Zhang family was greedy, and Brother Jin was pitiful and cute.

Baoyu was even more stupid, and said again and again: "Why do you want to marry a good girl? When you get married, you become a dead fish, how can you be a girl who is pure and white when she was a child. ”

"The second brother is talking stupid again." Tanchun said: "How important is the reputation of the girl's family, if the Zhang family really withdraws, Brother Jin is so temperamental, I am afraid that I will find a short-term vision." ”

Yingchun has always not opened his mouth, although he feels that Brother Jin is pitiful in his heart, but who in the world is not pitiful? Don't say that she can't manage it, even if she can, she can't manage it.

Xichun asked, "Why did you pull out the Water Moon Nunnery again?" The sister-in-law in the temple is pure, she really received the trust of the Zhang family? What a place in the nunnery that such a thing could be allowed to be tainted by such filthy things! If she really asks for the Zhang family, it can be seen that she is not a true monk, but she is chasing fame and fortune like the world, and even a hundred times more hateful than the world. As he spoke, he turned his head to the painting and said, "They are not allowed to enter my house when they come again, and I will never see them again." ”

Jia Mu was talking to Wang Xifeng about things in the East Mansion, and overheard a few people talking about "Shuiyue Nunnery" and "nuns", and felt strange, so she asked.

Baoyu hurriedly said the matter, only saying that Brother Jin was pitiful, and Tanchun was on the side to make up for it.

Mother Jia sighed when she heard this: "This parent doesn't think about his daughter, he only thinks about greed, won't he ruin the reputation of the family, who will dare to want a girl in the clan in the future?" Saying that, he looked at Wang Xifeng, his tone had changed greatly, and he was quite cold: "Which is the host of Shuiyue Nunnery?" Did you really become a monk in Chang'an County? How can such an impurity-minded nun manage the family temple? Immediately go to Lian'er to investigate, if it is confirmed, it will be expelled immediately! ”

Wang Xifeng hurriedly responded.

"It's still the old ancestor who is powerful, and the old ancestor will also help Brother Jin." Baoyu twisted on Jia's mother and kept being coquettish, only because Tanchun's words touched him, and he was afraid that the Zhang family would seek death if he retired from Brother Jin. A good girl, at the age of a flower, how pitiful it would be if she really died.

Jia Mu smiled helplessly and stroked the top of his hair: "That's someone's family matter, where can we outsiders interfere, don't talk nonsense." ”

Tanchun saw that Jia's mother didn't want to care, so he said something else to divert Baoyu's attention.

Mother Jia smiled and watched her grandchildren playing, but she was thinking about Shuiyue Nunnery. In fact, if it was really just a matter of the nun's purity, Mother Jia would not be so angry, because now is a critical time, Qin Keqing has just died, and they are still waiting for news from the palace, so they must not make a mistake.
