Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 397
"Sister Shi is here to welcome you."

When Daiyu received the news that Xiangyun was coming, she was inevitably a little puzzled.

Although she and Xiangyun have a good relationship, they only get together with Feng's family in Rong Mansion, and never do anything privately.

Especially today Xiangyun came here by himself and did not accompany the Rongfu sisters, which made Daiyu even more puzzled.

On the second day, as soon as Xiangyun entered the second gate, she greeted her with a smile.

After the two parties greeted each other, Daiyu smiled and said:
"What kind of auspicious day is today that reminds my sister of coming to me?"

Xiangyun also had a smile on his face, and asked:
"Why, sister doesn't welcome me?"

Fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls have delicate emotions, and their relationships are constantly changing.

If the relationship between Xiangyun and Baochai is from near to far, then the relationship between Xiangyun and Daiyu is from far to near.

At the beginning, Xiangyun was subconsciously hostile to Daiyu.

In other words, at the beginning, the sisters had a bad impression of Daiyu.

In Xue Baochai's eyes, Daiyu is "used to be suspicious and easy to play with petty temper".

Daiyu in Jia Tanchun's eyes is "using clever words to curse people"

Even Daiyu in the eyes of the maids and mother-in-law is "really Miss Lin, she is sharper than a knife when she speaks a word", or "the mouth is mean, but the heart is thin".

In short, the impression Daiyu gave to the sisters in Rongfu was that she was not forgiving.

In Xiangyun's eyes, Daiyu also "loves to play tricks, loves to irritate her actions, and knows how to govern people".

Whether it is said that Daiyu is like an actor, or that Daiyu is "not good at picking people", it is her true attitude in her heart, which is unscrupulous.

Not to mention the others, the reason why she has such an attitude is naturally that Daiyu's arrival has divided most of the love for Xiangyun from Jiamu and Baoyu in Rongfu.

Fortunately, Daiyu quickly showed her alienation from Baoyu, and soon became engaged to Feng Yibo again.

Later, she even moved out of Jia's mansion. Like her, she changed from a guest in Rong's mansion to a guest of Chang and Rong's mansion.

At this point, Xiangyun let go of his prejudices, and seldom sneered at Daiyu again.

Even Daiyu occasionally made a few remarks about her, and Xiangyun quarreled with her face to face, and did not hold grudges afterwards.

Gradually, the relationship between the two is not bad.

For Daiyu, apart from Miaoyu and Baochai, among these sisters, Xiangyun has the best relationship.

"Why don't you welcome me? My sister is here, and the Lin residence is full of splendor."

When Daiyu heard this, she stepped forward to hold her affectionately.

While stepping in, he also said:
"Sisters haven't got together for a while, I'm afraid you all have forgotten me!"

The Rong Mansion was raided, and Daiyu, like Xiangyun, was very depressed at home.

Fortunately, there is also a sister, Miaoyu, who comes to talk to her from time to time, otherwise I will really suffocate me to death.

"If you forget, no one dares to forget Sister Lin, but Sister knows that I like to be lively, so she doesn't invite me to meet these days."

Liao Hepo talked and laughed all the way, and came to Aunt Lin's place.

Xiangyun greeted the ceremony generously, and then had a chat with Aunt Lin.

Then Daiyu dragged her into her small living room.

The two chatted for a while in the living room about the situation of the Rong Mansion and the time the sisters had spent together.

While talking, Daiyu found that Xiangyun was a little absent-minded, so she asked suspiciously:
"What's wrong with my sister? Didn't you find an excuse to come here to relax because it's inconvenient to visit the Rong Mansion today? Why don't you have any energy at all? Could it be that you're worried about that side?"

Xiangyun had something on his mind, so he came back to his senses when he heard the words, and just wanted to take over the conversation and talk about the Wei family.

Before she could speak, Daiyu advised again:

"I went there a while ago. The empress dowager's face is there. I only copied the front mansion. The women's relatives have moved to the Grand View Garden. It hasn't been affected too much. I think it will be able to receive foreigners in a while."

She thought that talking about Rong Mansion just now caused Xiangyun to worry, so she hurriedly tried to persuade her.

Seeing that she misunderstood, Xiangyun didn't explain, but followed the words:
"Indeed, there is some reason. The Rong Mansion has just been confiscated and it is inconvenient to receive foreigners. Although I am worried about the sisters, it is not easy to go and disturb them."

As long as Yuan Chun is still there, sooner or later Rong Mansion will recover.

But other houses don't have such a hard background.

Thinking of this, Xiangyun bit his lower lip lightly, changed the subject, and said a little embarrassedly:
"But apart from that, I have other things to do when I come to see Sister Lin."

It was the first time Daiyu saw her like this, she laughed and said:
"My younger sister has always been informal and straightforward, why are you still shy today?"

Xiangyun usually doesn't care about playing with his sisters in Rongfu, but why has he ever bit his lip?

"It's... about the Wei family."

When mentioning the Wei family, Xiangyun was inevitably a little shy, and hurriedly added:

"It's my second aunt's family."

When Daiyu heard this, she nodded with a smile and said:
"I know, it's your future husband's family."

The sisters have heard about Xiangyun's engagement.

At this moment when she heard about the Wei family, Daiyu only thought that it was related to her marriage, so she came here this time to talk to herself.

After all, there have been constant national mourning in the past few years, and the two should be in the same boat.

Faced with Daiyu's teasing, Xiangyun couldn't care less about embarrassment, and gritted his teeth:

"I came here to ask my sister for help to ask Brother Feng, there is still room for change in the Wei family."

Hearing that she wanted to ask her to find Feng Yibo, Daiyu frowned slightly, and said hesitantly:

"This... What did the Wei family do?"

There are not many people she walks around in the capital, and this is the first time someone has entrusted her with her.

This is Shi Xiangyun.

If an irrelevant person came to her, with her temperament, she would have already refused.

But these sisters are often together in the capital, and now there are no outsiders, if she refuses without asking, it will inevitably hurt someone.

What's more, since Feng Yibo was involved in this matter, Daiyu would not dare to agree without asking.

Xiangyun smiled wryly and said softly:
"The two Shandong cases are somewhat involved."

Two cases in Shandong?

One involves the assassination of the emperor, and the other involves the occupation of private land.

Who dares to help with such a favor?
Daiyu looked at Xiangyun in embarrassment, and said carefully:
"Accordingly, Brother Feng and I will not sit idly by on my sister's matter, whether it is asking for money or someone, but since this matter involves the court, I'm afraid it's not something we girls in the back house should casually talk about."

"The Wei family and Nishou are not deeply involved. They just know something about raising horse thieves in Shandong. They insist that more is worse than less, so they didn't report it to the court in time, but they definitely didn't participate in it."

Someone from the Wei family was an official in Shandong, so he had heard about the horse thief.

But the Wei family did illegal things in Shandong, and it was useless to occupy the fertile land, for fear of attracting the attention of the court.

Even if he knew something vaguely, he didn't dare to say anything.

The fact that Prince Zhongshun was able to recruit troops smoothly was inseparable from the inaction of these people.

If you really want to say that colluding with Prince Zhongshun to rebel is not enough, but they really deserve to die.

Regardless of whether this is true or not, Daiyu will not listen to one-sided words.

Hearing this, she didn't speak, but frowned, and looked at Xiangyun with some embarrassment, hoping that Xiangyun would retreat in spite of the difficulties.

Seeing Daiyu's expression, Xiangyun naturally understood what it meant.

With a look of disappointment on her face, she lowered her head slightly and sighed softly:

"I also know that my sister is in trouble, but my second aunt has been kind to me in nurturing me. Her family has difficulties. Although I am a frail woman, I want to do my best. The only thing I can think of is Brother Feng."

Daiyu lost her mother at a very young age, and she hated hearing such words the most, and she couldn't bear to hear them.

She opened her red lips lightly, wanting to comfort her, but when the words came to her lips, it became:
"Then why don't you go to Sister Bao?"

"..."

Xiang Yun looked at her with resentment, but didn't speak.

Daiyu hurriedly waved her hands, and said in embarrassment:

"After all, this is a man's business. Don't say that I haven't passed the door yet, even Sister Bao will not interfere with outside affairs."

As soon as Xiangyun heard it, she understood that she was declining, and couldn't help but said anxiously:

"elder sister……"

When the words came to his lips, Xiangyun hesitated again.

She knew that this matter was a bit difficult, and her last words turned into a sigh, and she felt a little depressed.

Daiyu hesitated for a moment, then sighed, and said:

"But my sister is different from others."

She naturally understood that Yi Baochai's thoroughness would never agree to such a thing.

But Xiangyun has a good relationship with her, and they feel kind of sympathetic to each other.

Not only in terms of status, but even major marriages have been repeatedly delayed.

If the Wei family just fell like this, one can imagine Xiangyun's fate.

In addition, she has great confidence in Feng Yibo.

Every time she encounters a problem, her elder brother Feng can come up with a clever idea.

Maybe even if the Wei family collapses, he can find a way to help him out, even if it only makes Xiangyun suffer less.

Xiangyun was overjoyed when he heard the words, he rushed over to hug Daiyu, and said repeatedly:

"Sister! You are really my good sister!"

Seeing this, Daiyu broke free and said:

"Don't rush to be happy. I'm only responsible for mentioning this matter to Brother Feng. I can't guarantee whether it will be successful or not."

"This is enough!"

A few days later, the Marquis of Chu State.

Jia Lian was sitting in the hall a little cautiously, and didn't know why Feng Yibo called him over.

Feng Yibo took a sip of tea and asked casually:
"How is the house?"

When Jia Lian heard the words, he hurriedly replied:

"Fortunately, with the money sent by Yibo, the mansion is now stable."

Feng Yibo nodded and said with a smile:
"Well, I can rest assured that way."

Jia Lian hurriedly squeezed out a smile, and said flatteringly:
"Let Yibo miss you."

These days, he has long been frightened by Feng Yibo's method of turning his hands into clouds and his hands into rain.

Fearing that there might be some mistakes at home, Feng Yibo called him over to beat him.

"It should be, all of them are our own people."

Hearing this, Feng Yibo nodded with a smile, and said again:
"Second Brother Lian, do you know why I called you here today?"

When Jia Lian heard this, she immediately raised her heart to her throat, shook her head nervously and said:
"I don't know."

"The two cases in Shandong are about to come to an end. I asked Lian's second brother to come here today, just to end this matter as soon as possible."

At least it's not about the Jia family this time!
Hearing this, Jia Lian felt a little relieved.

While talking, Feng Yibo picked up a document from the table and handed it forward.

Seeing this, Jia Lian hurriedly got up and walked closer, taking it with both hands.

At this moment, Feng Yibo said with a smile:

"You should pay more attention to the people on this list. I hope they will have nothing to do with Jingying in the future."

Jia Lian was taken aback for a moment, then looked down at the list and was immediately surprised.

"This……"

This is to dig out the roots of the founding of the country in the Beijing camp?
Seeing his expression, Feng Yibo said unhurriedly:

"The Beijing camp must be held in the hands of His Majesty. I don't need to say more about this truth?"

Jia Lian naturally understood this truth, but still hesitated:
"But these old folks..."

Feng Yibo raised his hand to interrupt him, and said seriously:

"These are not old relatives, but unstable factors in the Beijing camp. They have been operating for several years and are deeply ingrained in the Beijing camp. If they don't get rid of them, where will the Queen Mother and His Majesty make a move when it is really necessary?"

When the Queen Mother was mentioned, Jia Lian struggled, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"Then what should I do?"

No matter how dear my old relative is, there is no Yuanchun relative.

In order to protect his nephew's imperial power and for the future of the Jia family, he can only be cruel and be this villain.

But he finally made up his mind, but Feng Yibo's expression darkened, and he said coldly:

"Is the Dragon Scale Guard a vegetarian?"

Seeing that Jia Lian was at a loss, Feng Yibo said angrily:

"Not to mention that these people are involved in the two cases in Shandong, but it's just how much. With what Longlin Guard has in hand, it's not difficult to make them disappear from the Beijing camp, right?"

He shouldn't be allowed to teach such things, but Jia Lian's mediocrity made him have to speak out.

Not to mention that these people are not clean, no matter how clean they are, it is not difficult for the Longlin Guards to accuse them of crimes.

"But if you do this, you will tear yourself apart with them."

It's a pity that Jia Lian hasn't thought of this level yet, and is still obsessed with superficial skills.

"Second brother Lian, what do you think Longlin Guard does?"

Feng Yibo felt a little helpless, he sneered and said:
"You don't think that the Dragon Scale Guard is playing tricks, do you?"

When Jia Lian heard the words, he understood what he meant.

Long Linwei was originally doing dirty work for the royal family, since he was sitting in this position, he shouldn't care about face.

But after all, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and he was still a little embarrassed when he heard the words.

"I know that the second brother Lian can't bear to do it, as long as you give orders, someone will help you."

Feng Yibo made another point, and then he said:
"If the Jia family can't handle this matter well, who else can the Queen Mother entrust to handle it?"

Jia Lian left Feng's residence with a complicated face without mentioning it.

As soon as Feng Yibo returned to the inner courtyard, he ran into Miaoyu.

Meeting her here, she was obviously waiting for her on purpose.

Sure enough, after Miaoyu saw the ceremony, the two walked and chatted.

"Master, my sister asked me to bring you a message."

Feng Yibo asked curiously, "Sister Lin, what did you say?"

"A young lady from the historian family begged for her. I hope you can take care of the Jinling Wei family."

Miaoyu directly told what Daiyu entrusted, fearing that Feng Yibo would not know about the Wei family, and added:
"It's the Wei family that Zhong Jinghou's wife came from, and Miss Shi has already told him to give it to his family."

"Oh?"

Feng Yibo was noncommittal when he heard the words.

Miaoyu briefly talked about the problems involved in the Wei family.

Seeing that Feng Yibo frowned slightly, she hurriedly said:
"Sister, if it involves too much, don't make it difficult for you. You can do whatever you want. If you can pull it, pull it, so that Miss Shi will suffer less in the future."

When she heard about this, her first reaction was to blame her sister for not intervening.

But my younger sister agreed, so she could only help convey it.

At this time, she was afraid that Feng Yibo would be dissatisfied with Daiyu, so she explained repeatedly.

"Well, I've made a note of this, and I'll talk about it after I ask."

Hearing this, Feng Yibo only nodded with a smile, but didn't say yes or no.

It wasn't until the next morning when he went to work in the ministry that he got out of the carriage and suddenly turned around and said:
"Da Bo, go find Second Master Lian and ask him to take care of the Jinling Wei family. If there is no proof and the involvement is not serious, then don't embarrass them."

"Yes!"

　Thank you for your time waiting for the reward!
