The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 443 Helping Xiangling Find Her Mother

My sister felt that she couldn't stay with Jia Lian anymore, otherwise if the Lin family saw her and Jia Lian's "indecent behavior", they would lose face to their Lord Hou and his wife.

Just as she was about to go back, Jia Lian said to her, "Didn't you ask His Majesty what he asked me to enter the palace before? Maybe, I need to leave Beijing for another errand..."

"What, how many days have you just been back, and you left the capital again? Is there no one in the court? Why is the emperor only watching you alone?!"

Wang Xifeng suddenly heard that Jia Lian was out of Beijing for business again, so he became anxious immediately and began to speak indiscriminately.

Jia Lian then pulled her closer, held her face in his hands, and comforted her, "Don't worry, there's no danger this time. I'm just going to the south of the Yangtze River to supervise a matter for the court, and I'll come back when I'm done."

As he spoke, he briefly explained to Sister Feng about the Jiangnan Salt Administration.

Sister Feng breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the troops were not sent.After being comforted by Jia Lian for a while, he finally accepted reluctantly.

"Then when are you leaving?"

"Your Majesty ordered us to leave for the south in three days."

Sister Feng thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "I just heard that the Lin family is going to escort the coffin of my aunt for burial in Suzhou, and you just happen to be going to the south of the Yangtze River...

Tell me honestly, did you take the initiative to ask the emperor to go to the south of the Yangtze River, in order to help Miss Lin to send the coffin of the aunt back to Suzhou? "

Jia Lian didn't expect Sister Feng to ask such a question, but it's not surprising that Sister Feng would have this association when she thought about it because of her shrewdness.

Looking at Sister Feng's aggrieved eyes, Jia Lian still hugged her in his arms and comforted her: "Why did you become as sensitive as Sister Lin? I won't lie to you, although I didn't ask for this job, but Pretty much the same.

This is me recommended by Uncle Lin to His Majesty on his deathbed.For one thing, this is an opportunity to perform in front of His Majesty, and Uncle Lin is doing his last bit to support me.On the other hand, Uncle Lin was also a little worried that Sister Lin would go to Suzhou alone, so he let me take care of her on the way, understand? "

Sister Feng is not such a fussy person. She was wronged before because she felt that Jia Lian was hiding it from her.

At this time, Jia Lian explained it this way, so she was fine.

Jia Lian is a courtier of the emperor, it is an honor to be able to help the emperor, and it is also the source of Jia Lian's wealth, of course she will not stop it.

From the corner of the eye, she caught a glimpse of someone approaching from the corridor opposite, and Sister Feng hurriedly got out of Jia Lian's arms, blushing and said, "Then you go home early today, I have something to tell you. I've been here for half a day, too. I'll go back first."

"Well, be careful on the road."

……

After Daiyu returned to the house, first two concubines and a nanny came to congratulate her.

After finally sending the elders away, Zijuan, Xueyan and other maids gathered around and chattered non-stop.

Finally, she was a little annoyed, and said that she was tired, so she let the little girls go down.

"Miss, you can rest assured now." Zijuan brought tea to Daiyu and said with a smile.

"I am relieved, you can talk about it."

"Young lady, why should you pretend to be confused? Of course, with the status of a country lord, no one would dare to underestimate you even if you marry Lord Hou in the future."

Daiyu blushed when she heard this, and forced her mouth to speak hard: "You girl, if you dare to talk nonsense, you should go out too, and don't get in my way here."

"Yes, yes, I would like to follow Lin Xiangjun's orders."

Most of the azaleas are good at cooperating, bowing first and then retreating.

She bumped into something without thinking about her butt, and when she turned around, she realized that it was Jia Lian standing behind her.Zijuan also blushed, hurriedly saluted and stepped back.

"You two girls, what kind of cross talk are you doing?"

Jia Lian walked to the edge of Daiyu's Kang and sat down.Now Daiyu saw that although Jia Lian no longer hid under the covers, she did not dare to get too close to Jia Lian. When she saw him coming, she hurriedly sat beside him.

From the corner of the eye, Jia Lian caught a glimpse and kept staring at her.Embarrassed, Daiyu hurriedly searched for a topic and said, "Thank you very much today, I can't bother you..."

"Thank you for what, why did I bother?"

Zijuan took the opportunity to laugh and said: "What our girl is talking about is the title of Township Lord that Second Master invited for her."

"I'm afraid, this. Although I really want Mr. Lin Xiang to accept my love, but unfortunately, this matter really has little to do with me. The main thing is that Mr. Uncle has made great contributions to the country, so he can be kind to my sister."

Daiyu glanced at Jia Lian.Even so, without Jia Lian, I'm afraid she would not get this reward.

In short, she has to remember this love.

Not because of the honor Jia Lian brought her, but because of Jia Lian's sincerity in treating her.In this way, even if he really suffers any grievances in the future, he will feel better if he remembers the goodness of Lian's second brother.

Daiyu knew early on that from the moment she agreed to marry Jia Lian, she was doomed for the rest of her life to not be so smooth.

But for Jia Lian, she is not afraid.

Facing Daiyu's eyes at this moment, Jia Lian felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

It didn't happen again, but I just talked to Daiyu about the departure south in three days.

Daiyu only said that everything was under his arrangement.

In this way, Jia Lian sat in Daiyu's room for a while, but there was nothing to say or do.

Daiyu was really too shy and reserved, and Jia Lian was too embarrassed to do anything to Daiyu at this time.After a few words of advice, he was about to leave.

Before going out, I remembered something again, "By the way, sister Lin, when we go south, can you bring your apprentice Xiangling with you?"

Daiyu was slightly stunned, and replied: "She is your girl, what do you ask her to do with me, why don't you take it with you?"

In Daiyu's view, Xiangling is Jia Lian's maid.It is normal for Jia Lian to ask Xiang Ling to follow him to serve him, but why bother her.

"I took her south for no other reason, but I probably found out about her mother from other people, so I wanted to try to see if I could find Xiangling's mother this time I went south, and let her mother and daughter come together. reunion."

As early as when Jia Lian got Xiangling, she promised to help her find her relatives in the future.

It's just that he got busier every year, so he put this matter on hold.This time he was going south to Jiangnan again, so he happened to ask Jia Yucun to see if he could find Xiangling's mother.

As for Xiangling's father, Zhen Shiyin, he probably became a monk long ago, so there is no need to look for him.

"Is Xiangling's mother still there?"

Daiyu and Zicuckoo beside her were a little surprised.

Naturally, they all knew that Xiangling was abducted by kidnappers since she was a child, and she was a very poor person.

"It should be. But I'm not sure, but as long as there is a chance, I have to try, lest Xiangling regret it for the rest of my life."

Daiyu was silent after hearing this.Lian's second elder brother is so kind and treats the girls around him so kindly.

If it were someone else, no matter how nice they were to Xiangling, they wouldn't want to help Xiangling find her mother.

"Even so, you can take her by yourself."

Daiyu pouted, wondering if it was because Jia Lian was too kind to Xiangling, which made her feel a little appreciative.

Jia Lian touched Daiyu's bun with a smile, and said with a smile, "I'm going south this time, and I still have the emperor's envoy with me, so I may need to travel around several state capitals in Jinling. Sometimes it is inconvenient for Xiangling to follow me. It's better to follow you.

Why, sister Lin is unwilling to help with this? "

"OK then."

Daiyu, who didn't escape Jia Lian's head-touching method, didn't have time to think. Hearing that what Jia Lian said made sense, she hurriedly nodded in agreement.
