"It's much better,
Her face is not as pale as before,
There's some color. " Xue Yan replied, "This servant just came from Zi Yuan sister. Zi Yuan sister also asked about you. She heard that everything is fine,
She felt happy and guilty,
She said that she was here to serve you,
She didn't expect to be served. "
Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Go and tell her,
It's not easy for her to serve you,
There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. It's not like she needs to wait a little longer. "
"This servant also told Zi Yuan sister the same thing. But Zi Yuan sister has other depressing matters. When they left the capital earlier,
Sister Yuan Yang and the others were extremely envious. They all asked Zi Yuan sister to record the scenery on the river and tell them about it when they returned. Zi Yuan sister patted her chest and agreed. But now, let alone going to the deck to enjoy the scenery, sister Zi Yuan sister,
She couldn't even go out of the door,
When she went back,
She would be laughed to death by Sister Yuan Yang and the others. Zi Yuan sister kept saying that she had lost a lot of face this time. "
Xue Yan finished speaking excitedly,
Lin Daiyu, who had been laughing happily just now, suddenly looked lonely. She couldn't help but ask worriedly, "What's wrong, Miss? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Daiyu shook her head,
Her smile was a little bitter,
"It's just that when I think about going back in the future,
I can't help but feel a little depressed … "
Xue Yan wanted to hit herself twice. 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 a girl?
She said with a bitter face, "Miss, it's all this servant's fault. I said something wrong. You can beat 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 his head and thought for a while. "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's servants. Jia family servants were the most talkative. They often gossiped about their masters behind their backs. Her family's Miss was also said to have a small temper and was a poor relative who came to ask for money.
When she first heard this, she was very angry. How could those poor scholars in the capital compare to her family's Master? The Lin family's wealth would probably scare them to death if she told them. When Miss was at home, she also wore gold and silver. However, because she was mourning for her mother, she could only wear some plain-colored flowers on her head. As long as the daughters of wealthy families were spoiled, which one of them didn't have a small temper? They didn't need to live by other people's expressions. 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 didn't have any rules. They didn't look like an aristocratic family with a history of more than a hundred years. They were more like a nouveau riche.
Xue Yan was feeling indignant, but she didn't see the worry on Lin Daiyu's face. In reality, 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 of the house. 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. Logically speaking, boys should move to the outer courtyard after they turned seven years old. However, many of the rules of 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 to disappoint her father.
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. 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. There was nothing that father and daughter couldn't talk about openly. If they had to hide things, they would only end up making themselves suffer and making others happy.
On the other 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 originally in a good mood, but 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. He, the second master of Rongguo Province, only looked glamorous on the outside. In reality, he was living a tight life. The money in his hands wasn't even as much as the average wealthy family.
But soon, 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 the time, he was very surprised. He didn't understand why Lady Wang was so concerned about Lin Ruhai, who was thousands of miles away. Later, the day before he left, Lady Jia called him over. She said that Lin Ruhai and his aunt had always had a good relationship. Now that his aunt was gone, Lin Ruhai would be hurt by his sadness. At the 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. 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 manager, 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. The Lin family only had one daughter. Sooner or later, the Lin family's money would belong to their Rongguo Province. It was just a matter of time. But he didn't expect that Lin Ruhai would die so soon. Based on what he saw in the past, Lin Ruhai should be 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 felt sorry for 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. Although the Lin family didn't appear to be as grand and magnificent as Rongguo Province, they were low-key. In addition to 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 a hundred thousand taels of silver for this trip. He would keep half of the hundred thousand 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 spent all the money, he would have to ask him for more …
The Jia Lian touched his forehead. He felt that he was 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 of the Jia Xie bedridden in Jinling was false, he still wanted to go and take a look. After he brought Daiyu and their belongings back to Rongguo Province. In case the Jia Xie was really sick, the doctors in Jinling were definitely not 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 welcome them.
"This lowly 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 traveled for a long time without stopping. 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 outside. He saw that the surrounding trees were towering. They had already left the city of Yangzhou.
The Jia Lian was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "Stop the carriage!"
He Gui came up and said, "Second Master Lian, what are your orders?"
"I should be the one asking you the same question. Where are you taking us? I don't remember when the Lam Mansion was moved outside the city. "
"It's my fault for not making it clear." 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 brought a lot of people with him to move the Lin family's belongings away. There was no need to be afraid of them.
The 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 got off the carriage, he found that the people he brought from the capital were long gone. Only his personal servant, Xing 'er, Lin Daiyu and his servant, the Lin couple, and some people who weren't from the Jia Mansion or the Lam Mansion were left.
The Jia Lian glared at He Gui and said angrily, "Where are the people I brought!?"
"They're all at 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 mansion's dark gate. 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 off the carriage.
"Miss, you're finally back."
"Lin Bo." Lin Daiyu happily looked at the person who came.
"Miss, this old servant finally sees 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 that his hair finally stood on end.
The Jia Lian silently wiped the tea from his face. His face was expressionless, but his heart was crumbling.
Shuijing also felt a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and looked up at the Jia Lian kneeling in front of him. He hesitated and asked, "Are you … Jia Lian?" There was some uncertainty in his voice.
