Why did a monk let two little girls who were born in a rich nest follow him,
To be a monk or a nun? He had never heard of a monk and a nun mixing together all day long. Even if the two little girls had to become monks, they should go to the nunnery to cultivate.
Since ancient times, there had been many young ladies from official families who went to the nunnery to cultivate.
This had never had anything to do with monks. Wasn't this scabby-headed monk a bit like a dog trying to catch a mouse?
"If it weren't for that incident back then,
I would have thought that this scabby-headed monk was really doing human traffickers in the name of saving people. "
"Actually, when I first heard about the scabby-headed monk and the crippled Daoist priest, this subordinate didn't believe it." Wen Dongyan waved his goose feather fan and frowned. "The empress and the Third Prince had long had the intention to fight for the throne.
They also had the support of the Retired Emperor. After they failed to fight for the throne,
When they saw that they were about to be killed by Master, they said that all of this was because the scabby-headed monk and the crippled Daoist priest had bewitched them.
This subordinate only thought that they were making excuses. Later, Master desperately wanted to find these two people. This subordinate only thought that Master was confused by anger. Now it seems that..,
This subordinate was wrong. "
"They are indeed making excuses." Shuijing snorted coldly. "It's not like they've wanted to fight for the throne for a day or two. If it weren't for the fact that Da Lan felt that although he could barely deal with them,
He couldn't care less about Little Jiu, and he wouldn't have written a letter to ask Master to bring Little Jiu out of the palace to raise. As for that scabby-headed monk and the crippled Daoist priest... half a year after Da Lan usurped the throne, their temperaments suddenly changed drastically.
Not only were they irritable,
They squandered and wasted,
They even wantonly recruited beauties and kept gigolos... "
Shui Lan had grown up watching the former Empress being neglected by the Retired Emperor,
He knew that the former Empress had suffered a lot at the hands of the favored concubines in the Imperial Harem. Therefore, he was very cautious about the choice of the Crown Prince's concubine during the wedding. Because he had grown up with Shui Lan, he also knew a lot of Yin Si. When Emperor Gaozu was still alive, he often complained to Emperor Gaozu about this. Afterwards, after the Emperor Emeritus ascended the throne, although he had no one to complain to, he still used his status as an elder to intervene in Shui Lan's marriage, breaking the Emperor Emeritus's plot to bestow the daughter of a fifth-rank minor official to Shui Lan. Later on, Shui Lan had a very good relationship with the crown prince consort. He didn't even have a secondary consort, so how could he suddenly change his personality?
Thinking of this, Shuijing narrowed his eyes slightly. "Zhen Shiyin also suddenly left with the crippled Daoist without any warning. Do you think they've been bewitched by something? "
"… Witchcraft?"
Wen Dongyan was shocked. The Art of Witchcraft was recorded in the Qin and Han Dynasties. It was a kind of magic that used a mysterious force to control and influence people and things. According to the law, anyone who practiced witchcraft would be sentenced to death, and their family members would be exiled three thousand miles away.
"We've been conducting private investigations for so many years, and it's not like we haven't seen such things before. However, those people only used methods to harm people and make them sick. They didn't bewitch people's hearts. Perhaps this scabby-headed monk and the crippled Daoist's cultivation is deeper than those people's. What this prince doesn't understand is what benefits they have from getting involved in the fight for the throne. When the second empress and the third prince died, I didn't see them come to save them. In these past few years, I also didn't see them interact with the other princes. "
"Miss Zhen and Miss Lin don't seem to have much to do with the fight for the throne. These two people are strange and their actions are quite strange. This subordinate is truly at his wit's end this time, "Wen Dongyan said with a sigh.
"This prince doesn't believe in this evil." Shuijing knocked on the table and said, "Since they said that the Lin family's girl's illness won't recover for the rest of her life, then this prince will make her healthier than normal people. Only by not seeing relatives can she live a peaceful life … "He seemed to have thought of something and slammed the table." The child born with a jade in his mouth in Rongguo Province! He's called Baoyu, right? How can a normal child be born with a jade in his mouth? I heard that there are words on it? "
"Psychic Baoyu, don't forget, don't lose, immortal life and eternal prosperity; first, get rid of evil spirits, second, cure grievances, and third, know fortune and misfortune," Wen Dongyan replied. "When this subordinate first heard about it, he thought that Rongguo Province was deliberately exaggerating. After all, how old was the child when he was born? How could such a small person hold a jade in his mouth? But if it's related to the scabby-headed monk and the crippled Daoist priest, it's not impossible. It's nothing more than a smokescreen. As for why they did this, it's still a mystery. "
"Then is Jia Baoyu truly blessed?"
"This … this subordinate doesn't know the specifics. En Hou should know very well. "
"Call him over in a moment. Send someone to monitor Jia Baoyu first and see if we can get any clues from him. "
"Yes."
"Also, what's the matter with the girl from the Xue family?" Shuijing suddenly changed the topic and said, "Minister Lin wants to send someone to investigate whether the Xue Wang Clan has a daughter?"
Wen Dongyan muttered, "It should be related to the dream. After Brother Ruhai woke up from the nightmare, he called Lin Bo to investigate. He told this subordinate that he dreamed that Miss Lin met with misfortune. "
Shuijing thought carefully and said, "Also send someone to investigate the girl from the Xue family. See if she's related to the scabby-headed monk and the crippled Daoist priest. There are too many mysteries right now. We can't let go of any clues. Also, this … "He pointed to the portrait on the table," Issue an arrest warrant. Say that this person is a human trafficker who has committed a heinous crime. Tell the yamen to be on guard. When capturing this person, regardless of whether he's alive or dead. If someone who isn't a member of the yamen catches him, regardless of whether he's alive or dead, he'll be rewarded. "
Although he was also very curious about the answers to these mysteries, he wanted them to die even more to appease Shui Lan's spirit in heaven. If they were captured alive, they'd inevitably have the opportunity to escape. He definitely wouldn't leave them with the slightest chance of survival.
"Since Yu 'er likes it, I'll have someone make it tonight."
"Daddy's laughing at me again." Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled shyly, "But daddy's appetite is pretty good. No wonder your spirit is so much better than before your daughter left." After saying this, she couldn't help but feel sad.
Without her dragging him down, daddy's life was indeed better.
Lin Ruhai wasn't willing to tell Daiyu about the matters of the netherworld. Even if he wanted to, now wasn't the time. He only stroked his beard and smiled, "Speaking of which, it was an unexpected joy. I was fortunate enough to receive the appreciation of a noble. That noble introduced me to a godly doctor. This godly doctor's medical skills are exceptional. I've already stopped coughing for quite a while. "
Lin Daiyu knew that Lin Ruhai's cough was very bad. It was the kind that almost tore one's heart and lungs apart. Before she left, Lin Ruhai would cough a few times a day. She didn't expect that he'd actually recover. It was indeed a joyous occasion.
"Congratulations to daddy for your good health." Lin Daiyu mischievously bowed, "Your daughter is here to wish daddy happiness as boundless as the East Sea and longevity as long as the South Mountain."
Lin Ruhai was delighted, "Good child, quickly get up. When the godly doctor takes my pulse, ask him to take a look at you too. "
"Daddy doesn't need to worry so much for your daughter. I've been like this since birth. I'm already used to it." Lin Daiyu heard that most godly doctors had eccentric temperaments. If she angered the godly doctor and implicated her father, it wouldn't be good.
Lin Ruhai knew what Lin Daiyu was thinking and sighed, "You don't need to worry. I've already discussed it with the godly doctor. You just have to wait."
"Since Master has already arranged things for Miss, Miss should just agree. If Miss's body recovers, Master will be truly happy! "
Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled.
Lin Ruhai looked at the maidservant who spoke, "This must be Zi Yuan. The maidservant that Old Madam gave you?"
Zi Yuan hurriedly knelt down to pay her respects.
Lin Daiyu said, "Zi Yuan is very devoted to your daughter. This year in Rongguo Province, she also took care of me. "
"She's a good maidservant." Lin Ruhai nodded.
Although he didn't want Daiyu to have a servant from Rongguo Province by her side, Zi Yuan was indeed sincere to Daiyu. In that dream, before Daiyu died, only she and Xue Yan were by his side. If she could serve Daiyu as usual, he could allow her to continue staying by Daiyu's side. He just didn't know whether her indenture contract was in the hands of Old Madam or Daiyu. Of course, he wouldn't force her. He would ask for her opinion first. If she wanted to return to Rongguo Province, he would give her more money to thank her for her devotion to Daiyu in her past life.
Ever since he found out that the Xue family had a daughter who was three years older than Daiyu, Lin Ruhai believed in what he saw in the dream. He believed that everything he saw in the dream would happen in the future. And the key point was his death.
After Lin Bo met Prince Rui, he told him about the fortune telling. Less than five years … … In the dream, when he died, Daiyu was eleven or twelve years old. Calculating the time, he didn't live for more than five years. Sometimes, it was impossible not to believe in fate. But fortunately, there was always a way out. As long as he could obtain Prince Rui's approval, his life wouldn't be in danger.
If he didn't die, he might not be willing to let Daiyu marry into a higher position. Most likely, he would find someone who cared for his daughter and marry her into a lower position. Jia Baoyu had indeed been in his consideration, because Jia Baoyu's mother had said in her letter that Jia Baoyu was a clever child who knew how to dote on others. It was only now that he realized that Jia Baoyu actually viewed officials as lowly people. Let's not talk about how he was scolded. If Jia Baoyu didn't become an official, how could he support the family? Rongguo Province belonged to the main branch. Once they separated, Jia Baoyu would be the son of a minor fifth rank official. He wouldn't have the strength to truss a chicken. How long could he live by relying on his ancestors?
Even if Old Madam succeeded in her scheme and Rongguo Province was inherited by the second branch, he wouldn't marry Daiyu to Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu was someone who cared for others, but the people he cared for were as numerous as the carps in the river. According to Jia Xie, as long as the person was beautiful, regardless of gender, Jia Baoyu liked them all. What he couldn't accept the most was that Jia Baoyu was subservient to the yatou by his side. If Daiyu married Jia Baoyu, wouldn't she be on the same level as the yatou by his side? In his eyes, Miss Xue, who was born in the imperial merchant family, wasn't even worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Daiyu, much less those lowly yatou.
"Yu 'er, how have you been in Rongguo Province this year?" Lin Ruhai finally got to the point, "If you've been wronged, you should tell me. Father will support you."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "Father, what are you saying? It's good that your daughter doesn't bully others. How can I be bullied? Yu 'er has the elders' love and sisters' company. My life is very good. "
"Master, please don't worry." Zi Yuan continued, "Old Madam loves Miss very much. She loves Miss even more than the three daughters of the main branch in the residence."
Xue Yan's mouth moved, but she remembered Lin Daiyu's instructions and didn't say anything.
"Is that so?" Lin Ruhai frowned, "But how come I heard that they didn't even prepare a courtyard for you?"
Zi Yuan hurriedly explained: "Old Madam wants to be close to Miss, so she let Miss live in the jade screen cabinet in her courtyard."
"I'm asking about Miss!" Lin Ruhai glanced at Zi Yuan, "I don't know what the rules of Rongguo Province are, but in my residence, when the masters are talking, there is no reason for the servants to interrupt." His voice was cold and there was no trace of the kindness from before.
Zi Yuan was so frightened that she knelt down and kowtowed, "Master, please forgive this servant. This servant knows her mistake."
"Look at how scared Father is of Zi Yuan." Lin Daiyu pulled Lin Ruhai's sleeve and pleaded, "Zi Yuan just came to our residence and doesn't know the rules of our residence. Ignorance is blameless. Father, please forgive her this time."
"Since Miss has pleaded for you, I'll let it go this time. But don't let it happen again." Lin Ruhai's voice was still cold.
If she became a servant of the Lam Mansion, she would have to abide by the rules of the Lam Mansion. The bad habits of Rongguo Province must not be brought over.
Zi Yuan kowtowed again and again and said yes.
"Father, don't scare her. Xue Yan, quickly help your sister Zi Yuan up. " Lin Daiyu smiled, "Actually, Zi Yuan is right. Grandmother really loves me, so she let me live in the jade screen cabinet. My sisters are all envious of me."
"But how come I heard that the child named Baoyu is living outside the jade screen cabinet?"
Lin Daiyu's face immediately turned pale. She stuttered and didn't dare to speak.
"He's already eight years old! Yu 'er, do you still remember the etiquette of boys and girls not eating at the same table when they're seven years old? "
Lin Daiyu's body trembled. Tears were already welling up in her eyes.
Xue Yan bent her knees and said anxiously, "Master, it's not Miss's fault. It's Old Madam's order. Miss couldn't refuse. You also know that Miss is thin-skinned and doesn't want to trouble others."
"Yu 'er, it's not your fault." Lin Ruhai sighed deeply, "The one who sent you to Rongguo Province was me. I already know that you didn't have a good time in Rongguo Province this year. I regret it very much. I shouldn't have sent you there, but I'm also very glad that I brought you back in time. You're only seven years old. It's not a big deal. "
Lin Daiyu was very ashamed. She shed tears and said, "Daughter has made father worry again."
Lin Ruhai rubbed Lin Daiyu's little head and said with a smile, "Don't cry. Your body is already weak, and you've been rushing all the way. Be careful that your body can't take it. As for your grandmother, you don't need to go there for now. You can stay by father's side. In the future, if the Emperor summons you to the capital, you can come with me. "
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, the Jia Lian opened his eyes. He only felt dizzy. He rubbed his head and looked to the side. He wanted to see clearly where he was, but he saw Jia Xie's big face appear in front of him.
"Lian 'er, you're finally awake. I was worried to death. Do you still feel uncomfortable? Don't force yourself! "
The Jia Lian silently turned his head back and closed his eyes. After silently saying 'this is a dream' ten times, he opened his eyes again … …
"Master, it's really you." He wanted to cry but had no tears.
Jia Xie laughed and said, "Of course it's your father. Aren't you surprised? "
His heart was about to jump out of his chest. He didn't feel happy at all.
The Jia Lian wanted to complain, but the other party was his father. He could only suppress the words in his heart and said gloomily, "Seeing Master … … son is very surprised. Son pays respect to Master. "
He was about to get up when Jia Xie saw this and hurriedly pushed him back down, "Don't worry about those empty formalities. You have a good rest. Whether you pay respect or not can be discussed later."
The Jia Lian was frightened. He thought that the Master wouldn't have a stroke today, would he? He kept doing these unimaginable things.
"Master, son is fine. I'm really fine. I'm just tired from lying down. I want to stand up for a while. "
"Stand for what?"
Although Jia Xie flatly refused, he helped the Jia Lian sit up and considerately put a soft cushion behind him, "Since you don't want to lie down, then sit for a while. You can sleep after you take your medicine."
The Jia Lian was full of questions. How could he sleep? He asked, "Master, aren't you in Jinling? When did you come to Yangzhou? Does the old lady know about it? "
"Don't worry about me. I just want to ask you, why did you come to Yangzhou?" Jia Xie asked back.
"Son is … …"
Jia Xie waved his hand, "Even if you don't tell me, I know. You came to make a fortune."
"After the woodshed caught fire, Feng Su was afraid that the whole house would burn down in time, so he asked his two daughters-in-law to take the money hidden in his house. We have been monitoring the Feng family for many days. We know what Madam Zhen Feng is like in the Feng family, so we sympathize with her … … "The secret guard secretly glanced at Shuijing. Seeing that he was not angry, he continued," We took the initiative to knock the two women out and put them in the place where Madam Zhen Feng passed by … … "
"And loosened the cloth bag so that Madam Zhen Feng could see the money inside?" Shuijing raised his eyebrows and asked.
The secret guard hurriedly lowered his head and didn't say anything.
Wen Dongyan waved his goose feather fan and sighed, "He forced his daughter to die for ten taels of silver. Now he lost more than five hundred taels of silver. I'm afraid Feng Su will faint from anger. But his two daughters-in-law are not good people. I'm afraid the Feng family will be very lively in the future. "
