The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 24: Don't Forget (1)
Hearing a carriage at the corner of the street, Su Peisheng stepped forward quickly, "Master."

"Come up." Su Peisheng got into the carriage, and then the carriage moved again and headed towards the palace.In the carriage, Yinzhen asked lightly: "How is she?" Su Peisheng repeated Daiyu's words: "When the servant came back, Master Lin went in with Yu Gege in his arms. With Master Lin and Mrs. Lin around, there must be nothing wrong. " Yinzhen nodded and leaned against the wall of the car with his eyes closed to rest his mind, the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and his face that should have been immature showed a maturity and coldness beyond his age.

When Yinzhen returned to the palace, Huang Ama was dealing with state affairs, but after meeting the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian, she brought her people back to Elder Brother's Office.

The princes of the Kangxi Dynasty generally moved to the elder brother's house to live alone when they entered the study at the age of six. This was to prevent the princes from being "born in the deep palace and growing in the hands of women."Because Yinzhen is an exception, he has never lived here.In addition to the few confidantes left behind by Empress Xiaoyi, Concubine Xian also selected some people with relatively clean backgrounds to make up for the number of elder brother's servants.From then on, Yinzhen officially started his own independent life.

In the small courtyard, Yinzhen looked expressionlessly at the court ladies and eunuchs kneeling on the ground in the courtyard.Under the watchful gaze of the expressionless young man standing under the eaves with his hands behind his back, the people who were originally disapproving gradually calmed down. Those who were kneeling in the front row and directly bathed in the young man's eyes even began to stiffen their expressions, and there was a silent movement on their backs. I broke out in a cold sweat.It wasn't until everyone was almost out of breath that the boy said lightly: "Master, no matter what you think in your heart, since the imperial concubine and empress have given you to the master, you will be at peace in the end, and the master will not treat you badly. If there is anything Don't think about it, and don't blame the master for being unkind. Now...you can leave if you don't want to stay, the master didn't see anything."

There was a complete silence underneath, and no one dared to move.After a while, Yinzhen nodded and said, "Since no one left, I'll take it as if you understand. Madam Wusu."

Sister Wusu nodded, stepped forward and said, "Master's grace, each person will pay ten taels of silver. As long as everyone is loyal to master, master will naturally not treat you badly." Ten taels of silver may not be a large amount in the palace, but it is For the masters in the palace or powerful eunuchs and maids.Speaking to these low-level eunuchs and maids, this is still a big reward.Everyone quickly thanked them, saying that they would be loyal to the fourth elder brother.Yinzhen nodded, turned around and took Su Peisheng into the house.Aunt Wusu was left to dispatch people from the yard.Ming Xia, Wan Cui Qian Hong and another court lady named Su Yun were transferred to Yinzhen's side as the personal maids.The other four clever young eunuchs followed Yinzhen as close attendants and were under Su Peisheng's supervision.The rest of the starchers, sweepers, needleworkers, coarse messengers, etc. returned to their respective positions, and the originally empty courtyard immediately became a little more lively.

On the edge of Tongzhou Wharf, a ship was about to set sail.

The cabin is warm and comfortable, but there is a beautiful and lovely jade doll lying on the window.The cloak with red piping wrapped around the body, and the hat was also worn on the head, revealing only a small face.The crystal clear eyeballs stared at the shore outside without blinking.Jia Min looked helplessly at her precious daughter who had been depressed since the fourth elder brother left, and turned her head to Lin Ruhai and sighed: "People say that married daughters splash water, look, my daughter hasn't raised the water yet and hasn't splashed it If you go out, the soul will be gone." Lin Ruhai patted his wife's hand funny and said: "Yu'er has never had a playmate since she was a child, and now she has to divide up with another child, even if it is another child, she will have trouble for a few days " Jia Min said sadly: "Yeah, it's pitiful for Yu'er to be alone since she was a child. If I could give her an older brother or younger brother, why would she care so much about the fourth elder brother?"

Lin Ruhai said displeased: "What nonsense, the child's matter is fate, why are you to blame?" Jia Min's heart disease has always been not being able to give birth to a boy to carry on the Lin family's lineage, and it is useless to persuade him.In fact, Lin Ruhai himself had thought about it a long time ago.At worst, wouldn't it be okay for him to recruit a wife for Yu'er in the future?It is not difficult to ask for grace based on his friendship with the emperor.Jia Min didn't want to talk about this topic, so he changed his mind and said: "When we go back to Jiangnan, we should choose a few more girls of the same age to accompany Yu'er." Lin Ruhai nodded after thinking about it. They are all nurses and older girls who can take care of children. After all, they are still too old to want to be. Yu'er must be lonely alone.Find someone who is too young to play with Yu'er even if he can't do much, "There is a girl in Yu'er's nanny's family who is the same age as Yu'er, and Mother Lin's granddaughter is one year younger than Yu'er, what do you think?" ?”

Both of these two families are the sons of the Lin family, and they know their roots well. Jia Min has also seen the two children, so after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed.Originally, the girls of these two families would also serve Yu'er after they were eight or nine years old, but now they treat her children better and give them more rewards.

The boat started to move, and the little man lying by the window frowned, reached out and grabbed the window lattice, biting the corner of his lips, still looking out without turning his eyes.Jia Min walked over and picked her up and closed the window, "Yu'er, we are going home." Daiyu snuggled into her mother's arms and held on to the purple bead butterfly net hanging on her body.Jia Min patted her daughter affectionately, walked up to Lin Ruhai and sat down, "It's so pitiful, Yu'er has suffered a lot in a few days." Lin Ruhai looked at the things in Daiyu's hands, which were a little strange, "This thing Where did it come from?" Jia Min thought for a while and said, "Perhaps it was given by the fourth elder brother. In the past few months, the fourth elder brother has not given her any good things. He is also stingy and doesn't let others touch it."

Lin Ruhai frowned and thought for a while, always felt that he had seen it somewhere but couldn't remember where he was seriously going, so he had to give up, lowered his head and pinched Daiyu's little face, "Yu'er, did the fourth elder brother give it to you?"

Daiyu nodded slowly, holding the beads in her hand, "My brother gave it to me, Yu'er will never forget it."

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min looked at each other, feeling that it might not be a good thing for Daiyu to hold this thing.Yu'er won't be thinking about the fourth elder brother all the time, right?Daughter, that's not your brother.

In Yinzhen's study of the eldest brother in the palace, Su Peisheng walked in quietly and said in a low voice, "Master, Master Lin and the others have already set off."
