On the second day, Lu Jing and Daiyu didn't wake up until three poles in the morning, and after Lin Daiyu got up, her eyes were still a little sleepy and drowsy, and she kept blaming Lu Jing for making too much trouble last night.

Lu Jing helped Daiyu and said secretly in his heart: "Obviously, you are too active", but she didn't dare to say this, so she had to keep laughing and apologizing.

After the two had dinner, Lu Jing accompanied Daiyu for a conversation, and then asked Daiyu to go to sleep again.

Lin Daiyu returned to the bedroom, and after a while, she was sleepy and fell asleep.

Lu Jing came to the outer study to check which people had sent the post yesterday, divided into categories, and those who needed to visit set an appointment for the post, and a few others wrote a reply, and the rest were all ignored.

Seeing that it was Lu Jing who was appointed to inspect the imperial history of Jiangnan, Prince Teng settled down, and immediately wrote a letter to the clansmen in Jinling, asking them to restrain their behavior during this time, and not to do evil in the hands of the imperial historian.

When the Zhen family learned that it was Lu Jing who was inspecting Jiangnan, the bad premonition in their hearts was even stronger, Lu Jing was Lin Ruhai's son-in-law, and the Zhen family had a great holiday with Lin Ruhai.

Zhen Yingjia was worried that Lu Jing would take the opportunity to take revenge for personal gain, so he interceded with Tojia's family, hoping to reconcile with Lin Ruhai and Lu Jing; On the one hand, he collected Lu Jing's handles, attempting to attack Lu Jing to remove him from his position, or to blackmail him.

Jia Mu, Jia Yu and others saw that the Zhen family sent a generous gift, and at the same time, they also had the intention of wooing Lu Jing, so they agreed to be lobbyists for the Zhen family.

In order to paralyze the Zhen family, Lu Jing accepted the invitation of the Jia family and brought Daiyu to the Jia family again.

After Lin Daiyu visited Jia's mother, she went to see Shi Xiangyun, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun and other sisters, and then came to Wang Xifeng's place, and saw Sister Feng's expression was very haggard, which was very different from her face when she pretended to be sick before, and she was busy asking about her physical condition.

Wang Xifeng supported the sick body to receive Daiyu, and the two exchanged a few words, and Sister Feng said that she was really sick, and since she was sick some time ago, she has not been well, and now it is getting more and more serious.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but sigh, and persuaded after a few words of comfort: "It stands to reason that this is a family matter between my sister and second brother Lian, Daiyu shouldn't talk too much, but when I live here, Sister Domeng takes care of me, and I have a few words to persuade my sister." ”

Wang Xifeng's voice was weak: "My sister has always been more knowledgeable than me, and she has a good eye, she married a good husband, unlike me who has so many bad things, if my sister has anything to say, just say it, I just listen!" ”

Lin Daiyu sighed and persuaded: "Since some things are already in the boat and irretrievable, my sister should still see some good, don't be angry because of this." ”

Although Wang Xifeng had some guesses in his heart, he still asked, "What did my sister say?" ”

Lin Daiyu didn't say it explicitly, but continued: "My husband said that a man is like sand in his hand, the tighter he holds it, the faster it will lose, in my opinion, this man is like a kite, if he grasps it too tightly, it will break, and if he doesn't grasp it, he will fly away, so he should tighten it, and when it is time to release the line, he will release the line, so that he can fly high and not get out of control." ”

When Wang Xifeng heard this, he immediately understood that Daiyu was talking about Second Sister You, and couldn't help crying after a moment of silence: "What my sister said makes sense, but I also have my own troubles, these days the conscienceless one has been staying in the second sister's room, I have been sick for so long, and he doesn't come to take a look, and my body, which was originally just a minor illness, has not been able to get better these days." ”

Speaking of this, thinking of the hopelessness of the heir, he said even more sadly: "I can see it, his heart for me has long been light, but it is just because of the prestige of our Wang family, he doesn't dare to attack me, and the eldest master, the eldest wife, and the second wife are all beating openly and secretly, and there is no one else in the house who does not hate me, if it weren't for the old lady, they would have to kill me." ”

"I'm thinking when I'm okay these days, if the old lady is gone, what will happen to me, originally I still wanted to come forward to take care of the housekeeper again, but first, my body can't hold it, secondly, it is difficult to continue in the public middle school, and thirdly, with my aunt's temperament, when Baoyu marries, I still have to kick me away, my sister came just in time today, and I am worried that no one will make up my mind for me?"

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but feel sad for her when she heard Sister Feng's miserable words, and asked, "What idea does my sister want to take?" ”

Wang Xifeng wiped his tears and said: "Since my sister said that men are like kites, and now the kite string is not in my hands, my sister said that I should grab it or let it go completely?" ”

Lin Daiyu heard that Sister Feng's words had the meaning of breaking off the marriage, and felt that this matter was important, and she didn't dare to persuade casually, so she had to say: "As the old saying goes, a husband and wife are a hundred days of grace, and a hundred days of husband and wife are like the depth of the sea; It is also said that a husband and wife for a hundred days, you can stop being angry, this matter is very important, Daiyu doesn't know how to persuade her sister, but you and Second Brother Lian have been husband and wife for so many years, and my sister still thinks about it before making a decision, not to mention that there is a Qiao sister. ”

Wang Xifeng nodded, feeling that Daiyu really shouldn't be asked about this matter, so he turned to other things.

Lin Daiyu persuaded her a few more words, asking her to recuperate with peace of mind, and then returned to Jia's mother again to talk to Jia's mother.

Jia's mother is not in a good state now, after the Xue family moved out, the Jia family became more deserted, and Sister Feng was sick, and now there is no one to tell her jokes to relieve her boredom, life is much more boring, it is rare for Daiyu to come over, so she has been pulling Daiyu to talk.

Lu Jing met Zhen Yingjia under the recommendation of Jia Yu, and several people finished their greetings and sat down.

During this period, Zhen Yingjia kept praising Lu Jing for being reused by the emperor at a young age and taking on this important responsibility, and said that everyone should take care of each other and support each other when they go out of Jiangnan together.

Lu Jing just responded lightly, and kept playing with him, but he didn't confide.

Seeing this, Zhen Yingjia kept signaling to Jia Yu, and was secretly annoyed that Lu Jing was arrogant and arrogant, but he didn't catch any of his handles, so he had to make this decision.

In addition to the nominal relationship between Jia Yu and Lu Jing, they have no contacts, let alone friendships, seeing Lu Jing's attitude towards Zhen Yingjia, I am worried that what I say will not be useful, but seeing Zhen Yingjia's continuous signals, he accepted a generous gift again, so he had to speak for Zhen Yingjia.

Lu Jing waited until Jia Yu spoke, and then said with a smile: "I was born in Jiangnan, and it stands to reason that I should have avoided suspicion, but since the emperor ordered me to inspect Jiangnan, I can only obey the orders and do my best to do my best. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "The juniors will only stay in Jiangnan for half a year at most, if there is no mistake on Lord Zhen's side during this time, the lower officials will not ask for trouble to offend the adults, not to mention that they can't afford to offend the adults with their powerful position." ”

Seeing Lu Jing giving himself face like this, Jia Yu couldn't help but smile happily, nodded and said: "Huai Jin is right, since it is an imperial errand, Huai Jin can't live up to the trust of the saint, and when he encounters those who are traitors, he should still be dealt with strictly, and the old man will also send a letter to Jinling to explain to the clansmen over there, and he can't make trouble for Huai Jin." ”

Lu Jing said with a smile: "Thank you uncle for understanding the difficulties of the juniors, the juniors have already explained to the clansmen on the Lu family's side a few days ago, if anyone dares to do evil during this time, I will definitely punish him severely and expel him from the family." ”

Jia Yu nodded and said to Zhen Yingjia, "What does Brother Zhen think?" ”

Zhen Yingjia stared at Lu Jing for a moment, and saw that his expression didn't seem to be fake, so he nodded and said: "You can rest assured that the virtuous nephew can rest assured that the old man will arrange it properly and will not embarrass the virtuous nephew." ”

Lu Jing nodded and smiled: "In this way, the juniors should thank the adults, before the juniors were worried that if there was a conflict with the adults, it would not end well, but now they are much more at ease." ”

Jia Yu saw that the two sides had negotiated, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, good, so it's the best of both worlds, everyone is relatives, not to mention taking care of each other, and they should be safe." ”

Lu Jing and Zhen Yingjia both nodded in agreement after hearing this, Jia Yu was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately ordered someone to set up wine, and the three of them entered the table to continue talking, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves for a while.

After the banquet, Lu Jing said goodbye to everyone in Jiafu and took Daiyu to the mansion, on the way Daiyu talked about Wang Xifeng's desire to separate.

After hearing this, Lu Jing pondered for a moment and said, "The two of them are not very suitable, and it would be good if they could get together!" ”

Lin Daiyu was surprised: "People often say that it is better to demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage, how can the husband have such an idea?" ”

Lu Jing smiled and said: "If it is a good marriage, it is natural to persuade it, but their marriage has been broken, according to what Mrs. said, it is estimated that Jia Lian already knows what Sister Feng did to Second Sister You, so she is very cold, once the old lady goes or the Wang family loses power, Sister Feng will inevitably have a good end, it is better to take advantage of the little love left to get together and disperse, and Sister Feng is still young and can remarry, Jia Lian can also be satisfied." ”

Lin Daiyu thought about it, Sister Feng offended too many people in the process of housekeeping, the eldest uncle, the eldest aunt, the second aunt and others didn't like her, once she lost the protection of the old lady, she would be difficult to tolerate the Jia family.

Lu Jing saw Daiyu's expression of approval, and continued: "However, it is difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs, after all, we don't know their true thoughts, that is, from the perspective of outsiders, just say it, Madame, don't really persuade them to separate." ”

Lin Daiyu said angrily: "The husband is really verbose, the concubine naturally understands the truth of intimacy, if it is known by the grandmother, don't blame me for having nothing to do and stirring up their relationship between husband and wife." ”

Lu Jing smiled and nodded, and then the two chatted all the way back to the mansion.

On July 7, the Qiqiao Festival, the thirteen road inspection imperial history selection was completed, seven of them were from the Inspectorate, six from the Hanlin Academy, Emperor Yuanyong for Lu Jing and other thirteen people were equipped with Qincha guards, and set a departure date.

After Lu Jing received the holy decree, he has been dealing with family and official affairs in the next few days, accompanying Daiyu, Yinglian, and Zijuan with great tenderness, and made an appointment with Baochai once again to write a letter to Baoqin.

The night before departure, Lu Jing was reluctant to hold Daiyu and talk all night, constantly telling her to take care of herself.

Lin Daiyu also held back her tears and told Lu Jing to take good care of herself when she went out, be careful in everything, and return safely.

On July 12, Lu Jing packed up, paid a visit to the ancestral hall, and set off, Lin Ruhai, Daiyu and others sent to the tear pavilion outside the city to say goodbye.

More than half a month after Lu Jing left, the Xue family received a message from the servant, saying that Xue Pan encountered robbers on the way back to Jinling with Pan Yueniang, and both of them were kidnapped.

Aunt Xue was immediately anxious after hearing this, and lost her mind for a while, so she just hugged Baochai and cried.

Xue Baochai knew that this was Lu Jing's plan, and while persuading his mother to calm down, he thought: "Now that Lu Lang has gone to Jiangnan, he said that he wants to rectify those restless clansmen for himself and clean up the black sheep, so it is better to take this opportunity to go back to Jinling, and then return to Beijing with Lu Lang when the matter is over." ”

After making up his mind, he persuaded Aunt Xue: "We need to ask my uncle to do something about this, and if my brother has an accident, we also need to go back." ”

Aunt Xue couldn't help nodding when she heard this, and immediately ordered someone to pack up her salute, and came to Wang's house with Baochai.

Wang Ziteng saw that although Baochai's words were urgent, there was no panic in his eyes, and he knew that Lu Jing should have informed Baochai, so he agreed, while persuading Aunt Xue to rescue Xue Pan, and arranging for someone to send the Xue family's mother and daughter back to Jinling.

Xue Zhen and Xue Baoqin brothers and sisters wanted to go back together, but they were persuaded by Xue Baochai to stay in the capital to preside over affairs, and Wang Ziteng objected, so the brothers and sisters had to stay and preside over the affairs of Beijing.

After Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai set off with others, Xue Baoqin saw that the home was deserted, so she often went to the Lu family to visit Daiyu, and sometimes stayed overnight at the Lu family, and later simply moved to the Lu family to live, and accompanied Daiyu and Yinglian day and night.
