What Du Mei thought of was naturally Chu Lin, and it could only be Chu Lin.

Although Fengxian's mother married into the Zhongshu Ling Mansion with her son, she was new to the mansion, and it would be good to be able to stand on her own feet, let alone ask for a child who would not be waiting to see her father-in-law who helped Du Mei work for a long time.

As for Huayan, although she is Su Shangshu's favorite concubine, she is just a beautiful caged bird, and she can use her beauty to please and favor men, but she can't ask men to do anything for her.

What's more, although the official title of Ningzhou Zhizhou is not big, he is the parent official of Jiangling City, in this imperial city of high-ranking officials and nobles, the officialdom is treacherous, the situation is changing, Zhuang Zhizhou and Su Shangshu are friends and enemies, Du Mei is difficult to distinguish, how to ask for people's doors.

But to let Du Mei beg Chu Lin, she was extremely reluctant in her selfish heart, she returned all the gifts to him on her birthday, and even said a decisive word on the day the restaurant opened, she was going in the direction of not getting along with him for old age, how do you know that there is still today?

But at this moment, Lin Dai and Shen Zhanghua were all imprisoned in the county jail, and those who could save them, except for Chu Lin, Du Mei didn't think about it as a second person, if she didn't have the cheekiness to ask for it, she was afraid that they would have to suffer.

Thinking of this, Du Mei decided that she had to go anyway, even if it was humiliation and ridicule waiting for her, she had to fight for them.

"Uncles, without further ado, Shi and I will go to Jiangling City to investigate, and it is better to find some way than to wait hopelessly here." Du Mei shook his teeth and spoke.

"Yes, yes, it's an imperial city, and there are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, if we know one or two, we also have hope." Lin Ping nodded.

"Stone, the carriage is too late, let's ride a horse." Du Mei turned his head and asked, but the stone hesitated, but nodded in agreement.

"Uncle Zhong, I'll leave immediately, you send the wild boar back to Dujiagou, see my mother, just say that the restaurant is busy, I'll stay to help for a few days, let her rest assured." Du Mei thought about it and told Du Zhong not to say the wrong thing.

"Well, I see, you should be careful." Du Zhong was reluctant to let Du Mei run around begging for help, but he couldn't bear the innocent Lin Dai to be in prison, and under the dilemma, only Yin Yin was left.

"You're single, it's too cold to ride a horse, don't freeze!" Miao took Du Mei's hand and said lovingly.

"Auntie, don't worry, there is a cotton cloak in the restaurant, which I pulled down last time, and I went to pick it up later." Du Mei's nose was inexplicably sour, and he held her hand instead.

As he spoke, the stone had already led the rouge horse Huahua and a horse, and Du Mei said goodbye to everyone and rode away.

Although it is early spring now, it is still cold and galloping on horseback, Du Mei is anxious, but she still rushes back to the restaurant to get the cloak first, she can't just enter Jiangling City, she will be infected with the wind and cold and fall ill, so it will delay the matter.

The two walked to the Bandung Bank, and Du Mei did not hesitate to convert all the 15,500 taels on the deposit slip into silver bills, including 1,000 and 500 and 100. She kept the silver tickets separate and gave a few more stones just in case.

Money can make ghosts grind, this is the truth that Du Mei has known for a long time. If there is no love to talk about, maybe it can be seen that she sacrifices all her worth to save the two people in the prison.

Du Mei entered the restaurant and went straight to the back hall, and saw Lin Ying accompanying You Shi who was lying on the bed crying hoarsely, she had to step forward and say good words to appease, Lin Dai is You Shi's only son, although she endured the answer, but Du Mei knew that at the moment, in addition to trying her best to save him, what other words of comfort were hypocritical.

Du Mei took the cloak and was about to hurry, when the county Cheng and Han Liu, as well as the fat and thin officials, they suddenly came somehow, and when they saw Du Mei, they all looked solemn when they talked about it.

"Lin Dai is in the county jail, so he has trouble a few brothers to take care of him." Du Mei bowed, took the silver ticket and gave it respectfully.

"When is this time, and pay attention to these politeness, although we are all useless people, but the county government prison is still our own one-third of an acre, you can rest assured, Lin Dai will not suffer there."

It's just that Shen County's order is an honest official, benefiting one party, is a rare good official, we are incompetent, there is no hand and eye to the sky, and I dare not send a letter to his old father and mother, I have to ask for help, if you go to Jiangling City to find someone who can help, please save him together. The county's eyes were slightly red, and he led the others to solemnly kneel down on one knee and salute.

"What are you doing, get up!" Du Mei hurriedly stepped forward to help, "If I have a way to save people, how can I save Lin Dai alone and not save him!" ”

"Thank you!" The crowd clasped their fists again in gratitude.

The burden on Du Mei's shoulders increased a little more, she said goodbye to the crowd, and hurried to Gangneung City.

And in the evening, Du Mei and the stone rushed to the city in the city gate closed and marched into the city, at this time the Jiangling City was lit up, the singing and dancing were leveled, the wine flags on both sides of the street were displayed, the guests were full of people, Du Mei wrapped his cloak tightly, and he had no intention of appreciating the prosperity of the city, and only followed the stone to the Yanwang Mansion.

Yanwangfu is both strange and familiar to Du Mei, the first time she came, she fell from a horse at Murong Xi, was rescued by Chu Lin, and walked directly back to his yard with the cornice, the second time was that she had a cold and high fever that did not go away, and was carried back by Chu Lin for treatment, it can be said that she was confused when she came twice, and she didn't even know how to go.

The closer she got, she could see a row of red lanterns hanging high in the majestic mansion gate from a distance, which was even more tall and majestic in the night, Du Mei's heart was like a drum, her heartless words were so hurtful, she didn't know if Chu Lin was willing to see her.

Finally arrived in front of the door, Du Mei dismounted, tied the rouge horse to the tethered horse stake under the steps, and the stone to pick up the steps, the construction of the Yan Wangfu is the emperor's personal decree, so the materials used are excellent, gorgeous flying corner eaves, exquisite red lacquer columns, and huge black background gold plaque, all show the majesty of the royal family and the grace of the saint.

"This little brother, may I ask if Lord Yan is in the mansion?" Du Mei stepped forward and asked the porter.

"Who are you?" A young manservant opened the door and came out, asking impatiently.

"I ...... He is a friend of King Yan and has an urgent matter to see. Du Mei was stunned by his question, and said stubbornly.

"My master has made a lot of friends, how do you know which one you are?" The manservant looked Du Mei up and down. He spoke tactfully, but his eyes were full of disdain.

Du Mei came out in a hurry today, and rode all the way again, his sideburns were broken, and he was only wearing ordinary clothes, covered with a half-worn cloak, and he looked really shabby.

"That horse used to belong to your mansion, little brother should always recognize it." Du Mei pointed to the rouge horse at the bottom of the steps and said with a smile.

"I don't know how many good things are rewarded in the Yanwang Mansion in a year, what is a horse!" The valet glanced at the horse in the dark night and sneered.

When Du Mei heard this, his heart was like a knife, and what he gave her was just the same as the other thousands of rewards.

"Go and call the Ruyi housekeeper to come out!" Seeing that Du Mei's face had changed, Shi took out the waist card of the guard of Yanwang Mansion and shook it in front of the manservant, and said coldly

"Ahh Are you from our house? The manservant immediately put away his disrespect, and turned to frown, "King Yan went out in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

"You quickly go and ask the Ruyi housekeeper to let Du Ruren in." Shi Jian raised his eyebrows and said sharply to the manservant.

"Okay, okay, I'll go." The manservant turned and went in.

"Ruren, you are waiting in the mansion, I will go out to find King Yan?" Stone whispered to Du Mei.

"It's fine." Du Mei knows that at this time, everything is about saving people, and everything else can be ignored.

The stone kicked down the steps, untied the reins, turned over on his horse, and ran towards the camp of the patrol.

After a while, Ruyi, who was wearing a satin skirt with bright makeup, walked out with a cloak inlaid with rabbit fur, and she began to look at Du Mei from afar, the last time she broke into the study was just a glimpse, and now under the red lantern, she can really see it.

I saw that the girl in front of her was thin and tall, combing her flowing cloud bun, obliquely inserting a simple wooden hairpin, and her sideburns were flying wantonly in the evening breeze, and she was only wearing a lotus blue skirt embroidered with lilies on her body, and she was covered with a half-worn cotton cape.

"Du Ruren!" Ruyi bowed, although she didn't like Du Mei, but her status as a widow was there, and she always had to behave.

"Ruyi butler, I'm causing you trouble by disturbing so late." Du Mei didn't expect that Ruyi's housekeeper was actually a woman, she was still such a young and beautiful woman, looking at her face, it seemed to be a little similar to Zhao Ji'an, and she had mixed feelings in her heart for a while.

How many beautiful women and beautiful women are there in his Yanwang Mansion, Du Mei didn't dare to think about it, she took a breath and warned herself that she was here to spend money to save people, and she didn't talk about feelings with him, and she had no feelings to talk about.

"Our lord has always been a cold person, although there is a room in the house, Mrs. Su, but he does not treat female guests, not to mention that it is so late, it is not Ruyi who does not take you in, I am afraid that it will damage your reputation." Ruyi smiled skillfully.

Sure enough, she is a housekeeper who manages more than 100 people, and she is articulate, and she has already practiced her ability to hide a knife in her smile when she is ushering in and sending them to various palaces and mansions. If Du Mei hadn't known about Mrs. Su in advance, I'm afraid she would have repelled Du Mei with just a few words.

"It's okay, it's okay for me to wait for King Yan here." Du Mei bit the flesh in her mouth and kept herself awake at all times, a housekeeper dared to speak so sourly, if they said that they had no personal feelings, they would not believe her if they were killed.

"I still have something to do in the house, so I won't accompany you, if it's cold, you can go to the concierge to take shelter." Ruyi pulled the corners of his mouth and turned to leave.

"Ruyi butler and busy." Du Mei replied lightly.

The wind of the spring night, slightly cool to the bones, Du Mei wrapped in a cloak, standing straight, the moon moved and moved, she almost stood as a stone sculpture. The manservant couldn't bear the cold, and went to the porter early.

"Ame, what are you doing standing here?" Murong Xi, who walked quickly from the dark night, was still dressed in scarlet clothes and his eyes were full of peach blossoms.

"Murong Xi, can you help me?" Du Mei rolled her eyes, tears welling up in her eyelashes.

She stood there for a long time, thinking about all the bits and pieces of her and Chu Lin, all those gentle and delicate things could not withstand the hopeless waiting in the spring breeze this night, she wanted to give up.

"What's going on? Amei, don't be afraid, no matter what, I will definitely help you, even if it is in exchange for my life, I will not hesitate to do it! Murong Xi saw Du Mei's crystal tears like pearls with broken threads, one after another, falling down in a flutter, and he was so distressed that he couldn't be more distressed.

"Okay, I'll go with you!" Du Mei wanted to laugh, but only more tears flowed down his face.
