The road back (6)

After returning to her room, she sent the girls out before going to bed. Only then did she read the message handed over by her fourth master. She thought about many possibilities, but she never thought it would be like this.

Wen Tianfang...is back again?!

What kind of luck is this.

Lin Yutong's mood was really complicated. After being in a daze for a moment, she felt a little guilty.

I guess, with Fourth Master's brain, he can guess everything.

There is no mention of Marquis Jinghai in the book "The Red Mansion", but the fourth master has already taken a look at the general situation of the world before. This Marquis Jinghai should be from the coast, and as for her, she has no trace of living by the sea.

Then he deduced that Marquis Jinghai must have left the seaside for some reason. Where can a person with a title go? He must only return to the capital. But if he returns to the capital... what is it?

The change caused by the accident was definitely not because of her. With her age and experience at that time, she could not have done such a big move. It can only mean that among the characters associated with the Jinghai Hou Mansion, there were people who could be reborn or prophets.

As for the person who reversed his fate, this is a matter of speculation, but now it has emerged that the young prince of Jinghaihou came all the way to find the sister and brother after being ill. What else is not clear? This is because he has variables.

The person appeared again. At this time, Fourth Master was already eight points accurate in his mind. The remaining two points actually depended on his reaction. If he was not in a hurry to worry about it, it meant that his guess was right.

Because I believe that that variable can handle everything. If I am still eager to take care of things there, it means that there may be something different from what he guessed.

They have already intervened over there, how could Lin Yutong ask Fourth Master to intervene more?

Therefore, the reaction of not reacting on your own indicates all the problems.

To be honest, she was really relieved at the moment. As long as the siblings were still alive, she felt complete. Wen Tianfang was an accident, but maybe this was his real salvation.

Who knows, we will talk about the future in the future. Anyway, there is no big deal except life and death. Once I let go of the worries that have been hanging over me these days, I will sleep very peacefully.

I will be busy again the next day, so let’s send New Year’s gifts in advance while there are still things to give.

The tangerines brought from the south are divided. The elders have two baskets, and the younger generations have baskets. Big and small baskets are divided a little, which is interesting. There are also dried fruits and orange cakes from the south, which can be considered the same. Again

We drank hawthorn wine and hawthorn dew prepared by Lin Yutong in advance. We didn't look at it at first glance, but because of the previous publicity, we felt quite respectable.

Yu Liang heard Shao Hua talk about the recent events at home last night. This morning he tasted Lin Yutong's brew and smacked it: "Mommy makes it herself every year, why doesn't it taste like this?"

"Really?" Lin Yutong deliberately showed a bit of pride: "I said it could be done, but grandma didn't ask to intervene."

Yu Liang, who knew nothing about cooking or mixing fat and flour, thought that it probably depends on everyone's talent. Every cook would make the same dish differently. This was probably the same thing.

Bar.

He nodded: "Okay! If it's made from grapes... I'm afraid it won't taste any worse than the wine shipped from the West."

"Not only does the wine taste good, but the sherbet also tastes better than the Laoshizi rose water in the glass bottle." Baoyu twisted around Jia Mu and wanted to drink another one: "It's strange.

, I drank sherbet, but after drinking this I still feel warm, which is better than drinking a cup of hot wine to ward off the cold."

Mother Jia handed the one in her hand to Baoyu, and then looked at Lin Yutong: "It's hard for a child like you to pay attention. The taste doesn't taste like medicine at all, I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Shao Hua laughed: "Yes! The recipes are all ready-made. If you want to brew it yourself, just copy the recipe. But I have tried it. I brewed two jars with my sister, and now I opened the lid.

The taste is sour, astringent, and bitter like medicine, so it would be better to drink medicine."

Mrs. Wang laughed: "Individuals have different talents. There is a certain group of people who will always be jealous when they see others doing well. Don't you know that each has its own difficulties and tips, but that group of people are indescribable?"

Said..."

"Mrs. Shengming." Shao Hua said: "Last night when our master came back, he said, since it's good, just give the recipe to Sister-in-law Lian. There are many people in the house, and if you are asked to do this, who can use it? I'm sorry.

I'm stingy. I just talked about the trivial details, and hundreds of processes were done, but the amount was too much to take care of. That's all he wanted! I also asked because he was afraid that the family would be offended, and he called me an ignorant woman.

People, from the old lady, uncles and aunts down to us, the sisters in charge, no one in the house is the one who doesn’t understand the truth. They must understand the difficulties here."

Mrs.

"My aunt said it all in one sentence..." Shao Hua has adapted well and is becoming more and more flattering now. On the contrary, he and Yu Liang are becoming more and more like a couple.

And Lin Yutong left early to talk to Lin Yutong: "... Mr. Lin sent someone to bring things, and they came with the boat yesterday. My brother said that he went to the Lin family's house in Beijing to clean up, and he must be here today.

"Sister, just sit still. Brother said, Mr. Lin is in good health, so you don't need to worry."

Lin Daiyu recited the Buddha's name, "Sister sent the girl a message yesterday, and I feel at ease. Now that I hear it from my sister, I don't feel uneasy anymore. Looking back, I should go and thank Brother Liang in person.

of."

"My family said this, so they went out of their way." She asked Daiyu again, whether she was still coughing at night recently, and whether her food was delicious. Lin Yutong didn't get up until Shao Hua was about to leave.

Mrs. Wang laughed: "Just ask your sister-in-law to go back and take care of the housework. You can also play with the sisters."

Lin Yutong didn't want to waste time here, she said hurriedly: "I think these tangerines are not bad, so I kept a basket of them. I want to go back and try to see if I can make sherbet. There is only one flavor. I am afraid that Sister Daiyu and Brother Bao will

Tired of eating."

"Then go, go, go." Baoyu cheered first, "Next year, please ask Sister Tong to try the next one. I don't know about others. I love it very much. I won't get tired of it no matter how much I drink it."

Lin Yutong responded in a good temper. After exiting, Jia Mu sent Baoyu and Daiyu to play inside. Then she said to Mrs.

Mrs. Xing quickly stood up and exited.

Her expression changed after she came out. This was her mother-in-law talking to her younger siblings in private. She snorted softly, turned around and left.

When Mrs. Wang saw that there was no one else there, she said: "Although it is a good thing, it is just like what Taoist Zhang said, it is for the benefit of our family. She will block whoever gets closer to her."

"

This is what Jia Mu was thinking in her mind: "Tell these Feng girls to take more care of the Buddha there. Now that they are placed in Liuyunwu, that's it. Just leave the furs lying around in the library, no matter what they are.

Send me a few boxes. Those things will keep out the moisture and cold."

As a result, the Yu family received six boxes full of furs.

From mink skins to fox skins to sheepskin and lamb skins, Lin Yutong knew at a glance that these were not aged skins, but probably purchased outside.

Lin Yutong sometimes thought that in the eyes of Jia's mother, the Jia family's warehouse was really inexhaustible, and in her memory there was always this and that in vain, but she never thought about it.

How many people and things have been done, how can there be so many things lying around? She just arranged her own, and no one objected. The old man said that there was it in the warehouse, so the person doing the work had to buy another one and put it in the warehouse, and then left it to the old lady.

His temperament is so spendthrift.

No matter how it came, it was delivered anyway. Once delivered, just keep it.

Shao Hua took out all the sheepskins for use, but he was reluctant to part with the mink and fox skins. He discussed with Yu Liang and said: "In two years, my sister will leave the government. Keeping two boxes of good skins will be an extra two pounds of dowry."

Yu Liang agreed, but he was worried about how to plan his sister's marriage.

I originally thought of using the help of my two uncles Jia She and Jia Zheng, but now it seems that it is not reliable. This time I went out to buy strange stones for Jia She. The things were quite good. I bought a lot but didn't use much.

Money. I reported the accounts in 10, 50 and 10 cents, and I also paid careful attention to it. I asked the sellers to write notes. They wrote down how much I paid to them, and then wrote their names and sizes, and put their fingerprints on it, so that I could pay the account when I came back.

ah!

But this guy was nice. He got angry when he saw the account. He wanted to take Lian Er over and said that that bastard didn't know how much money he had embezzled. He was burying his son in front of outsiders... let alone his son.

Even a decent manager can't do this. If you have anything to say behind closed doors while others are gone! I'm still here, just come out like this and don't talk about anything else. This is not selling myself out.

That’s it.

Fortunately, I stopped him at that time and explained that these strange stones are mostly unpopular and are not as popular as the gold, jade and antiques. Those who love these strange stones feel that they are worth a lot of money, while those who don't love them feel that they are worthless.

You can't use this as a comparison to unfairly accuse others.

This persuaded people to stop. Otherwise, just this one moment would have offended everyone in the house.

From this point of view, this man really cannot be relied upon.

Besides, how old is the concubine in their eldest room? She’s not much different from her younger sister. But I have been thinking about my younger sister’s marriage sooner and later. I have already started preparing to leave my hometown, for fear of being manipulated by Yu Jian.

I married my sister. But here, I have never heard of marrying the girl’s family.

This made him feel even more inappropriate.

As for Jia Zheng, he shook his head again. He had sent all his daughters to the palace, how could he rest assured? He was also afraid that his sister would be forced out and who would fill the hole. He was afraid of this side, even more than he was afraid of Jia Zheng.

amnesty.

Therefore, my sister's marriage has to be planned separately.

Seeing that it was the twelfth lunar month, the visit to Uncle Heng that I had agreed to do had not yet happened. Yu Liang chose a good day before the twelfth lunar month and posted a message to pay his respects to the elders there. Then he had breakfast.

Taking Shao Hua and Lin Yutong out, they went out.

Now that she could see the fourth master again, Lin Yutong's small uneasiness turned into a big uneasiness. It felt like she had been caught cheating on her husband. Therefore, she was particularly good at sleeping today.

The Tongtong that the Fourth Master saw was a very smooth Tongtong. If there was a tail, it would be wagging, expressing the kind of obedience that he wanted to express incisively and vividly.

When two people meet, at most one of them will say hello to Brother Heng, and then the other will say hello to Sister Tong.

After the two people asked each other thoughtfully, they both shuddered.

What about brothers and sisters? This style of painting is wrong.

Anyway, the second meeting ended in this weird painting style, and Lin Yutong and Shao Hua were sent to the inner courtyard.

In the inner courtyard, Mrs. Qian was so nervous that she didn't know what to do. She pulled on the new clothes she was wearing today and scolded her young lady not to talk nonsense when the guests came.

When they met Lin Yutong and Shao Hua, they were even more nervous than the guests. After letting the guests sit down, I didn't know whether to stand or sit, and walked around the room in small steps, tugging at the corners of my clothes from time to time.

This is a woman who is particularly bad at dealing with people.

If I come here today, I might be a burden to others. With such a person here, and then there is a little girl under ten years old in the inner house, it can be seen that the fourth master must have grabbed her from inside and outside.
To be continued...
