"She's much better now, and her face is not as pale as before.
There is some color. "Xue Yan replied." This servant just came from Sister Zi Yuan.
Sister Zi Yuan also asked about Miss. When she heard that Miss is doing well, she felt happy and guilty.
She said that she came to serve Miss, but she didn't expect that she would be served. "
Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Go and tell her that it's not easy for her to serve Miss. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. It's not like she needs to wait a little longer."
"This servant also told Sister Zi Yuan the same thing. But Sister Zi Yuan has other depressing matters. When we left the capital,
Sister Yuan Yang and the others were very envious. They all asked Sister Zi Yuan to record the scenery on the river and tell them about it when they went back. Sister Zi Yuan patted her chest and agreed. But now, let alone admiring the scenery on the deck, Sister Zi Juan couldn't even go out of the house.
Sister Yuan Yang and the others will laugh at her to death. Sister Zi Yuan said that she had lost a lot of face this time. "
Xue Yan finished speaking excitedly.
Lin Daiyu, who had been laughing like a flower just now, suddenly looked lonely.
She couldn't help but worry, "Miss, what's wrong?
Are you feeling unwell? "
Lin Daiyu shook her head.
Her smile was a little bitter.
"I just thought that I have to go back in the future.
I can't help but feel a little depressed … "
Xue Yan wanted to hit herself. She could finally go home. Why did she bring up the matter of going back to the capital again? Gold and silver nests were not as good as her own doghouse. Even she felt more comfortable in Yangzhou, let alone Miss.
She said with a bitter face, "Miss, it's all this servant's fault. I said something wrong. You can hit or scold me if you want. If you do this, this servant's heart will also feel bad. "
"I'm thinking too much. It has nothing to do with you."
Seeing that Lin Daiyu's mood was still not high, Xue Yan tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Miss, if you want to stay in Yangzhou, you should tell Master. Master loves you so much, he definitely won't let you go."
Lin Daiyu pursed his lips. If it was that easy, she wouldn't have been sent to the capital a year ago. Her health was not good and she often fell sick. If she stayed in Yangzhou, she would only add to her father's troubles. She couldn't be willful. She had already grown up and had to think more about her father. She couldn't give him more trouble.
"When we go back, if father asks, just tell him that everything is fine in Rongguo Province." Lin Daiyu's little face was taut as she solemnly reminded Xue Yan, "Grandmother and my sisters are very good to me, and my two uncles and aunts are also very close to me. There's no need to say anything else."
Xue Yan thought that Lin Daiyu was talking about the Jia family servants. Jia family servants were the most talkative. They often gossiped about their masters behind their backs. Her daughter was also said to be a spoiled brat. They even said that she was a poor relative who came to ask for money.
When she first heard this, she was extremely angry. How could those poor scholars in the capital compare to her master? If she told them about the Lin family's wealth, they would probably be scared to death. When her daughter was at home, she also wore gold and silver. However, because she was in mourning for her mother, she could only wear some plain-colored flowers on her head. As for spoiled brats, which daughter of a rich family didn't have a bit of a temper when they were pampered? They didn't need to live according to other people's wishes. Moreover, when it came to rules, even a hundred Jia family couldn't compare to the Lin family. When she was a servant in the Lin family, she had never heard of a servant who dared to gossip about their masters behind their backs. Even Senior Servant Wang said that the Jia family was so unruly. They didn't look like a noble family that had been passed down for more than a hundred years. They were more like a nouveau riche.
Xue Yan was indignant, but she didn't see the worry in Lin Daiyu's eyes. In fact, what Xue Yan was worried about wasn't a big deal in Lin Daiyu's eyes. After all, she was a guest and not the master, so it was natural for her to be treated poorly. What she was really worried about was that Lin Ruhai knew that Jia Baoyu was still being raised in the inner courtyard. Normally, boys should move to the outer courtyard after they turned seven. However, many of the rules in the Jia family were different from other families. She was a guest, so it wasn't good for her to say anything. She could only follow the master's wishes. However, if Lin Ruhai knew that she lived so close to Baoyu, who knew what he would think! She didn't want her father to be disappointed in her.
Outside the cabin door, Master Lin was standing there with a box of food. She knew that Lin Daiyu didn't eat much at each meal, so she made some exquisite snacks in the kitchen and sent them over. However, she didn't expect to hear this conversation.
She knew how much the master loved her daughter, but she didn't expect that her daughter would misunderstand the master's plans for her daughter. She thought that she was the master's burden. It seemed that when she went back, she would have to tell her father-in-law to remind the master that there was nothing between father and daughter that couldn't be honest with each other. If they insisted on hiding things, they would only end up making themselves suffer and making others happy.
On another boat, the Jia Lian was standing on the deck, comfortably enjoying the river breeze.
The scenery on both sides of the river was beautiful. The Jia Lian was already in a good mood, and now he was even more relaxed and happy.
Rongguo Province was a big business, and they spent money like water. They had long been unable to make ends meet. As the second master of Rongguo Province, he only looked glamorous on the outside, but in reality, he was living a tight life. The amount of money he had wasn't even as much as the average wealthy family.
However, very quickly, their Rongguo Province received a windfall.
Speaking of which, the first time he heard that his uncle, Lin Ruhai, was unwell was from Lady Wang. Previously, when he went to Yangzhou to pay respects to his aunt, Lady Wang reminded him to pay more attention to Lin Ruhai's health. At that time, he was very surprised and didn't understand why Lady Wang would be so concerned about Lin Ruhai, who was thousands of miles away. Later, the day before he left, Lady Jia called him over, saying that Lin Ruhai and his aunt had always had a good relationship. Now that his aunt was gone, Lin Ruhai would be hurt from sadness. At that time, he thought that they were just speculating. No matter how sad Lin Ruhai was, how sad could he be? When he arrived in Yangzhou, he found out that the escorts his aunt brought to the Lin family had always been in contact with Rongguo Province. Lin Ruhai's health wasn't good, and it was they who sent letters to Lady Jia and Lady Wang to find out. He was just going to verify it with his own eyes.
The Jia Lian was very shrewd. Although he only did the work of a steward, it couldn't hide the fact that he was smart and capable. He only needed to think for a moment to know what Lady Jia and Lady Wang were planning. However, Lin Daiyu was going to marry Baoyu in the future, and she was the only daughter of the Lin family. Sooner or later, the Lin family's money would belong to Rongguo Province. It was just a matter of time. But he didn't expect that Lin Ruhai would die so soon. From what he saw, Lin Ruhai should have been able to live until Lin Daiyu became an adult. However, he didn't have much affection for Lin Ruhai. Whether he died or not didn't have much to do with him. He just pitied his cousin. It wasn't easy for an orphan girl to survive in Rongguo Province. In any case, he had taken their money. If he didn't take good care of them, it wouldn't be right. He had to go back and tell his Feng Lazi.
The Jia Lian counted with his fingers. On the surface, the Lin family wasn't as grand as Rongguo Province, but they were low-key. Coupled with Lin Ruhai's position, the Lin family's wealth should be more than a few million taels of silver. He should be able to get around 100,000 taels of silver for this trip. He would keep half of the 100,000 taels for himself and give the other half to Wang Xifeng. He just didn't know if his master had spent all the money in Jinling. If he had, he would have to ask him for more …
The Jia Lian touched his forehead. He felt confused. Why did he think of his unreasonable father, who only knew how to pester endlessly during such a good time? He was probably influenced by the father and daughter who were about to be separated by life and death.
Although he felt that the news that the Jia Xie was bedridden in Jinling was fake, he still wanted to go and take a look. He would wait until he brought Daiyu and their belongings back to Rongguo Province. If the Jia Xie was really sick, the doctors in Jinling definitely wouldn't be as skilled as the imperial doctors in the capital.
Everyone on the boat had their own thoughts. When spring turned to summer, they finally arrived in Yangzhou.
As soon as the boat docked, a man in his thirties and a group of people came up to greet them.
"This one is He Gui. I've been ordered to welcome Miss and Second Master Lian. Please get on the carriage."
Zi Yuan's body had recovered. She and Xue Yan hugged Lin Daiyu and got on one of the carriages. The Jia Lian and his personal servant, Xing 'er, got on the other carriage.
The carriage didn't stop for a long time. The Jia Lian was puzzled. He remembered that they should have arrived at the Lam Mansion by this time last time.
He lifted the curtain and looked out. He saw that the surrounding trees were towering. They had already left Yangzhou City.
The Jia Lian was shocked. He hurriedly shouted, "Stop the carriage!"
He Gui came up and said, "Second Master Lian, what orders do you have?"
"I'm the one who should be asking you, where are you taking us to? This prince doesn't remember when the Lam Mansion was moved outside the city. "
"This one didn't explain clearly." He Gui pretended to slap his own mouth, "We're not going to the Lam Mansion. We're going to the other courtyard. Master is there at the moment."
The Jia Lian thought for a moment. Even if Lin Ruhai was dead now, the Lin family shouldn't have the guts to murder for money. Besides, he had brought a lot of people to move the Lin family's belongings away. There was no need to be afraid of them.
Jia Lian snorted coldly. He lowered the curtain and sat back down, suppressing his uneasiness.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped.
When the Jia Lian came down, he discovered that the people he had brought from the capital were long gone. Only his personal servant Xing 'er, Lin Daiyu and his two servants, the Lin couple, and some people who were neither from the Jia Mansion nor the Lam Mansion were left.
The Jia Lian glared at He Gui and said angrily, "Where are the people this prince brought!?"
"They've all gone to the Lam Mansion. Someone will take good care of them. Second Master Lian, you don't have to worry."
The Jia Lian looked at He Gui's smiling face and then looked at the black gate of the mansion in front of him. He inexplicably felt a chill at the word "take good care of them". He hoped that the word "take good care of them" was superficial and not an extended meaning.
At this time, the gate slowly opened. An old man ran out with small steps and went straight to Lin Daiyu, who was getting down from the carriage.
"Miss, you're finally back."
"Lin Bo." Lin Daiyu looked at the person happily.
"Miss, this old servant has finally seen you." Lin Bo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand and said in a choked voice, "Seeing that you're all right, this old servant is finally relieved. Quickly get on the sedan chair, quickly get on the sedan chair. Master is already waiting for you. "
The Jia Lian watched Lin Daiyu get on the sedan chair. He Gui's voice sounded in his ears again, "Second Master Lian, please get on the sedan chair too."
The Jia Lian felt his hair stand on end.
"Is what's written here true? Son-in-law, is Son-in-law really dying? "
"In reply to Madame, Master, he … is really dying."
The one who replied was Lin Bo's daughter-in-law, Mistress Lin. Lin Ruhai had specially sent her and her husband to the capital to pick up Lin Daiyu. This couple was smart and loyal to the Lin family. Even if something happened, they would be able to handle it.
"Ever since Madame passed away, Master's health has been deteriorating. After Miss left, although he knew that Miss was doing well in the estate, Master still missed her very much. Thus, his heart became heavier and heavier with each passing day. " Mistress Lin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with great emotion, "Especially after winter, he became more and more listless. The doctors all focused on maintaining his health and didn't have any good methods. Master suddenly fainted some time ago and only opened his eyes after three whole days. Several doctors were invited, and they all said that it would be very difficult for Master to get through this and that he needed to make plans early. Master's only wish was to see Miss again. Because it happened so suddenly, we didn't send a letter to the estate in advance before coming. We hope Madame doesn't mind. "
