The Red Mansions

Chapter 157 Lin Daiyu: I love to hear this, so say more!

that night.

After Lin Ruhai talked with Jia Yun, he took several wives and concubines in the mansion and moved from the secret passage, accompanied by several Jin Yiwei.

The gate of the Lin Mansion was closed, no matter who came to inquire, the housekeeper only said that Lin Ruhai's condition was getting worse and the mansion was preparing for the next generation.

until dawn the next day.

When Lin Daiyu went to see his father, she found the room was empty, and ran to find Jia Yun, crying very sadly.

Jia Yun tried her best to comfort her, and confessed the truth to her.

"Master Lin is going out this time to collect the net at the end, don't be sad, he is not sick, isn't that a good thing?" Jia Yun hugged her and comforted her.

Lin Daiyu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, cast a sidelong glance at Jia Yun, and said angrily:
"In the end, I became an outsider. My father told you everything, but he didn't tell me. It made me cry so sad."

Jia Yun said with a smile: "It's not that he told me everything, he just said that he has a plan and asked me to protect you. You must know that those people jump over the wall in a hurry, and they can do anything."

Lin Daiyu thumped him lightly, and asked in a low voice, "Did my father say when it will end?"

"It's hard to say, at least three to five days, at most ten days and a half months, it shouldn't be too long." Jia Yun pondered.

To put it bluntly, Lin Ruhai just wanted to let the gangs who sell private salt relax their vigilance, thinking that he was going to die due to illness, and then they could sell them recklessly.

Once they shipped, it gave Lin Ruhai a chance to catch them.

After all the stolen goods are obtained, no matter how big the opponent's family is or how strong the backing is, Lin Ruhai can clean up those people and families in an open and honest manner.

For example, the Zhen family has no solid evidence, even the emperor can't deal with it casually. After all, there are two big mountains behind them, the emperor and the old concubine.

But once there is substantial evidence, with the assistance of Jin Yiwei, people can be detained immediately, their homes can be ransacked, and even their families can be wiped out!

Thinking about it, since Lin Ruhai has put in so much effort, it is definitely not just one or two big families like the Zhen family that will be moved. If this net is used, many big fish will be caught ashore, so it is very important to get the stolen goods.

Even he may have already had evidence and obtained the will of the new emperor, but he was afraid of scaring the snake and gaining too little, so he kept refusing to publish it.

Even the members of the Zhen family took the risk and set out to poison him to death, which shows how urgent the matter has reached.

When Jia Yun took over the property of the Zhen family back then, she had such speculations, so she dared to accept it boldly, not afraid of the Zhen family's future settlement.

Because even in the original book, even if Lin Ruhai was transferred before his death, the Zhen family would have been ransacked. It can be seen that Lin Ruhai's work was not in vain.

Lin Daiyu naturally didn't know so much inside information, she just lay in Jia Yun's arms, like a helpless child, worried and worried about Lin Ruhai's safety.

Jia Yun stroked her hair gently, silently accompanying her.

Suddenly, Lin Daiyu raised her head and asked, "Is there something wrong with my mothers and aunts?"

"Well, there must be some, otherwise Master Lin would not take them away." Jia Yun nodded and said.

Lin Daiyu sighed: "It's true that you know people, you know your face, you don't know your heart. Those nuns were brought from Jia's mansion by mother. After mother left, the family never owed them, and they even repaid their kindness."

"And those aunts, I heard my father said before, they are all poor people. After arriving at the Lin family, they live a life of luxury and luxury. How could they eat their own food and dare to do something to assassinate my father?"

"Could it be that they don't understand that if something happened to their father, they won't have a good life in the future?"

"Also... what role did the Jia family play in the matter of my father's illness?"

Speaking of this, Lin Daiyu said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Yun, is this world really so dark? Does everyone only know intrigue?"

Jia Yun stretched out her hand, gently wiped the teardrops on her face, and muttered: "These people do things that are motivated by profit, so naturally they don't care about family affection or anything, they only value benefits."

"Although the four princes and eight princes have internal conflicts, they always wear a pair of trousers to the outside world. The girl from the Zhen family is Princess Beijing, and the king of Beijing Jing is the leader of the four princes and eight princes."

"Since the day your father was appointed as the censor of salt inspection in Yangzhou, if he wanted to make achievements, he was doomed to go head-to-head with the local snakes in Jinling, the Zhen family."

"Since then, it is normal for your Lin family to be abandoned and targeted by them."

Lin Daiyu was shocked when she heard the words, looked at Jia Yun in a panic, and asked anxiously: "My mother's death is also..."

Jia Yun sighed and nodded slightly, but she didn't talk about the Lin family's affairs, but told Xue Pan's experience in detail, so that Lin Daiyu could fully understand the cruel side of family struggle.

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu took a breath, then hugged Jia Yun tightly, and remained silent.

After a while, she murmured softly: "I mean, how could a dignified and generous woman like Sister Bao disregard her reputation and live in the Pear Fragrance Courtyard of Jia's Mansion instead of living in her own house? So many secrets."

She sighed, and continued: "In other words, Jia's mansion is not only unclean, but also completely corrupt from top to bottom."

"Brother Yun, I have an intuition that if I had never met you in my life, if I really wanted to follow my grandmother's wishes, I'm afraid there would be no good results in the end."

Jia Yun was quite surprised by Lin Daiyu's intuition. What she said was right. In the original book, Lin Daiyu had such a tragic ending, vomiting blood and dying. It makes people feel distressed to think about it.

To put it bluntly, if Lin Ruhai passed away, Lin Daiyu would be a girl with nothing to rely on, no matter how smart and clever she was, she would not be able to make much change in this social environment that was extremely unfriendly to women.

With a secret sigh, Jia Yun put her arms around Lin Daiyu, and said softly: "Didn't you just meet me, don't think too much in the future, after Mr. Lin finishes this errand, he will probably be transferred back to the capital. "

"At that time, you will be able to live with your father often, and you will be able to rely on him, and you will no longer have to live a life of being dependent on others."

Lin Daiyu hummed softly, feeling very comfortable and at ease in Jia Yun's arms.

If Jia Yun wasn't there to accompany her at this moment, with her temperament, she might be panicked and uneasy, not knowing what to do.

In addition to crying, there is only crying!

After a while, Lin Daiyu's mood gradually stabilized, and Jia Yun suggested to visit her garden.

Lin Daiyu was full of joy, took Jia Yun's hand, and led him to play in the back garden.

Gusu gardens are "urban forests" full of natural interest in the city.

People living in the busy city can enjoy the "joy of mountains, waters, forests and springs" of nature as soon as they enter the garden.

In this condensed "nature", "a spoonful replaces water, a fist replaces mountains".

The four seasons in the garden, the morning staggered changes and the spring and autumn vegetation withered and prosperous, as well as the seasonal changes of landscapes and flowers, enable people to "get the joy of mountains and forests without going out of the city, and enjoy the joy of forests and springs while living in a busy city".

Touring in the garden is like appreciating poetry or painting.

All kinds of pavilions, platforms, buildings, pavilions, halls, halls, pavilions, and corridors are dazzling. All kinds of rockeries, undulating peaks, majestic momentum, strange peaks and rocks, exquisitely carved.

Playing in the garden, the route is full of twists and turns, with ups and downs.

Passing through the hole, circling left and right, sometimes climbing to the top of the peak, sometimes sinking to the bottom of the valley, looking up at the mountains and looking down at the slopes on all sides, either gentle or dangerous, brings people a kind of mysterious interest in trance.

The scenery of the whole garden is simple and unsophisticated, natural and elegant.

Do not rely on skill to win, but take nature as beauty.

The so-called naturalness means that it is not pretentious, does not add carvings, and does not reveal traces of chiseling.

The second is to express well, and strive to be suitable for mountains and rivers, just like natural scenery.

In the early morning and evening, the smoke and water are filled, which is very poetic of the mountains, islands and waters.

The rockery alternated with earth and rocks, the old trees and new branches on the mountain are full of vitality, green bamboos are shaking in the middle, and vines are hanging on it, which has a wild interest in the mountains and forests.

The promenades around the mountain are connected, winding and winding, and the pavilions near the pool are connected together.

The leaky windows with different patterns look at the scenery from both sides, making the water outside the garden and the mountains inside the garden contrast each other, complement each other, and blend naturally. This can be regarded as a model of borrowing scenery.

After all, Lin Daiyu is from Gusu, and she loves gardens to the core. Although she is at her own home, she pulls Jia Yun to look around from time to time, showing the curious attitude of a young daughter.

The cherry blossoms are blooming, shining brightly.

Green willows and weeping poplars are full of vitality!
The faint fragrance of plum blossoms is about to be dyed, and the willows are just dry with dew.

Clusters of plum blossoms are blooming and colorful, and people who are in it are like entering the illusion of plum blossoms, with flowers everywhere.

Lin Daiyu dragged Jia Yun to the plum blossom forest, her eyes sparkling and smiling, she exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"

The sea of ​​plum blossoms is surging with the wind, and it is as condensed as snow, which is magnificent. The plum blossoms are extremely gorgeous, and being in it is like coming to a paradise.

Jia Yun generally liked flowers, but she just sighed, "Your yard is so big!"

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she glanced at him and said, "Boring, I'll tell you about plum blossoms, and you tell me about yards!"

Jia Yun laughed loudly, stepped forward and hugged her, turned around, put her forehead on her forehead, and said with a smile: "I'm not wrong, your yard is already very big!"

"Hee hee, thanks to the fact that you are still a scholar, why can't you use more elegant words to describe my yard?" Lin Daiyu said with a smile.

Jia Yun pecked at her and said affectionately: "In my eyes, no beauty is one ten-thousandth as beautiful as yours, and you are the most beautiful scenery!"

"Brother Yun, I love to hear this, please say more!" Lin Daiyu blinked and narrowed her eyes.

Jia Yun laughed and said, "You can't talk too much, you will get tired of talking too much, let's eat something good now, how about it?"

Lin Daiyu bit her lip, hummed, and closed her eyes obediently.

Jia Yun took a deep breath, and bit her little red mouth.

After a long time, the two separated.

Lin Daiyu's eyes were rippling, she stuck to Jia Yun's arms, and whispered: "Brother Yun, I like to play around with you, it feels so good."

"When I'm with you, I'm not afraid of anything, I don't have to worry about anything, the whole world is filled with your breath, even if it's only been a few days, it makes me very attached..."
