Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Young Master! The two men we captured today confessed that they were here to deliver medicine!" Wei Wu followed the footsteps of the Prince of Nannan.

The Prince of Nan'an walked around the temple inside and out in one day.

He had no interest in appreciating any Buddhist activities.

He was looking for where to hide his extra money. It had to be somewhere secluded and spacious.

There just so happens that there is a room in the back hall, which serves as a lecture hall, and it meets this condition.

The entire temple has been busy with major Buddhist activities these days, so the internal small lectures have been cancelled.

So the lecture hall was locked! There was a sign on the door saying that the hall was under renovation and no visitors were allowed.

Wei Wu and the Prince of Nannan turned here, and although they did not stop, their hearts brightened.

Perfect location, perfect timing.

The two chatted as they walked, "Really? What medicine did you deliver? Who did you deliver it to?"

"Master, guess what!"

"I never thought that someone would do something secretive in this Buddha's land!" Wei Wu kept it a secret.

"Even more secretive than us? If you bump into us, I won't appreciate it." The Prince of Nan'an stroked the jade pendant on his waist.

The words true and false were almost worn out by him.

"Poison! They said someone asked them to deliver the poison. It will be delivered this afternoon."

"They are just two mountain dwellers living at the foot of the mountain. The strange thing is, they don't know that they are poisoned."

"They didn't know the person who asked them to deliver the medicine, and they took a few taels of silver as a reward."

Oh, the Prince of Nan'an has become interested, which means someone will taste the poison tonight.

"Interesting, very interesting. He was going to poison someone, but he didn't have the poison with him and needed someone to bring it to him."

"The person who poisoned the food must be a novice. How could he have used someone else to poison the food?"

After saying this, he glanced at the bustling crowd inside and outside the hall.

Who doesn't have some private enemies? But you can't ruin my business. Whether you poison people or kill people has nothing to do with me.

"Watch out, Wei Wu. We won't allow him to poison until we're done with our business."

"Keep half of the poison first. Don't let them ruin our business."

"If someone dies in the temple before our salt permit transaction is completed, they might move to another location. Wouldn't that mean we are celebrating for nothing?"

Wei Wu was just about to answer when he saw some people crowded together in front of him and an iron plate fell with a bang.

The man looked around and found that no one was looking at him, so he hurriedly squatted down and picked it up.

Wei Wu gestured to the Prince of Nan'an, "Master! Here we come! Big salt merchant, there's something going on tonight!"

"Huh! We're eating meat the day before! Are they impatient or am I?" The Prince of Nan'an was sharpening his fists. If God wants to send you a windfall, you'd be sorry if you don't pick it up.

"The one who poisoned us will be released tomorrow."

"Notify the skinny monkey!"

Shi Yifang was also walking around with her child, and the eyes of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were looking at her.

Her heart was beating faster and faster, and the fake monk's words kept echoing in her ears.

As she watched the sun outside the temple set in the west, her palms became slipperier as time approached.

Bad luck! Bad luck! Bad luck again!

She took a few deep breaths, as if she had been holding her breath in the water for a long time.

Chuchu popped up.

She was afraid that her appearance would reveal a flaw, so she asked someone to deliver the medicine in the afternoon. Why is there still no news?

"Auntie Hua! Is the person you're looking for reliable?" Auntie Hua wore a white flower on her hair today, and only a few brown threads could be seen on the edge if you looked closely.

"No problem! That girl and her brother, Madam Cheng, have agreed to give it to us. This time, her parents will come to see her off. Girl, get out."

"If it succeeds, we won't know anything. If it doesn't work, we won't know anything either."

"Our mission is to lead them to that room."

"Do you think our elder brother's spirit in heaven would want us to do this?" Shi Yifang looked up at the sky.

Why don’t good people live long?

"Madam, now is not the time to think about this!" If we succeed, we will congratulate the old man during the Yimakou ceremony.

"I hope you can get what you want over there."

Whatever! Anyway, without Jia Min, my elder brother is happy, the governor is happy, and even Lord Lin, my cousin-in-law, might be happy too.

Isn’t it a great blessing for a man to lose his wife in middle age?

She looked back at Mr. Fang and said "Puh", but it didn't affect her mood.

Now every moment of her life was torture, and she silently recited the Diamond Sutra several times.

"What did that girl say? Time has passed and the medicine hasn't been delivered yet? Aunt Hua, will there be any changes?" Shi Yifang asked anxiously again.

"What about the other backup plans? Will they all be messed up?"

Aunt Hua was also a little nervous. "Madam, calm down. Now we can only let nature take its course. Everything else was arranged by Madam Wen and has nothing to do with us."

"Madam! You must stay calm. Go to Jia Min's room now and tell her that dinner is almost ready."

"There will be a lecture in the evening, with a senior monk communicating with the Four Saints and Six Ordinary People. I asked her if she wanted to go."

Jia Min took Daiyu and Yong'an to tour the hall, walking and stopping from time to time. This time she did not pay her respects to anyone because there were too many people and they had to queue up to pay their respects.

Secondly, the monk in front of the mountain gate annoyed her, and she had to listen to the master from now on. This monk and Taoist priest was really not trustworthy.

It turns out that the person who came was not here to bring me blessings but to help me.

If I worship Buddha too much, will I kill my child?

After thinking this way, she looked at the many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas as if they were wood carvings or clay sculptures.

She began to pay close attention to the crowd. These devout people all came with something to ask for.

Suddenly, she seemed to have some kind of emotional feeling and always felt that someone was watching her from behind.

She turned around suddenly, her clothes fluttering, still a good man and a faithful woman.

Am I too sensitive?

She kept walking,

"Daiyu, Yongan, wait for me!" Daiyu, Yongan and their servants squeezed forward.

Jia Min and Rong Mama also walked quickly forward. Suddenly, a woman wearing a veil hat rushed over from behind her, holding a jar of fragrant oil.

"Plop" it hit Jia Min, who was not paying attention and almost stumbled. The oil in the jar splashed out and scattered a few pieces on her body.

Su Zi and Su Ye, who were behind, pushed the woman violently.

"Where are you going? Don't you look where you're walking?"

The jar of fragrant oil in the woman's hand fell to the ground with a thud, spilling the fragrant oil all over the ground.

The woman backed away without saying a word, followed by two other women.

He apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry, we were here to add incense oil to the front hall."

"I'm really sorry for offending you, ma'am."

"There's oil here, the road is slippery, please go this way."

After saying this, the two women enthusiastically led Jia Min to the side.

Jia Min looked at the oil stains on her body and rubbed them hard with a handkerchief, but the stains only got bigger.

She frowned and refused the two women's directions.

Daiyu, Yongan, are about to leave the door!
