The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

"It's your uncle Lin's letter!"

Then he said with a rather sad look on his face,

"Ever since your aunt passed away early in life, I have written to him several times asking him to send your aunt's daughter to Beijing, but I have always been refused. Yet, he has suddenly written to me again this time. I wonder what he is saying."

At this moment, Yuanyang had brought out a small brocade box.

It was opened for Lady Jia, revealing a pair of exquisite gold-rimmed mirrors.

Grandmother Jia took out her reading mirror and put it on herself before opening the letter and reading it.

When Lady Jia was opening the letter, Baoyu obediently snuggled into her arms and watched.

Yingchun and Xichun both looked out curiously.

Wang Xifeng had already walked to stand behind Lady Wang and Lady Xing.

After a while, Grandmother Jia finished reading the letter and clasped her hands together.

"Amitabha!"

Although she lived deep in the inner courtyard, she also knew something about the situation outside.

Two days ago, the imperial court held a meeting to discuss the deployment of troops in Yangzhou. I heard that it was related to the Salt Administration.

However, Jia Zheng and Jia She did not want her to worry about some minor details, so they deliberately did not mention them.

Now that I have seen Lin Ruhai's letter, I naturally know that he and his poor granddaughter are safe and sound. Only then did I sigh from the bottom of my heart.

Immediately, Jia Mu looked at the eager wives and girls, smiled and touched Jia Baoyu's head, saying lovingly,

"It was your uncle Lin who sent a letter from Yangzhou, finally agreeing to send my poor granddaughter to Beijing."

Jia Baoyu was the first to stand up excitedly.

"Great! There's going to be another sister to have fun with in the mansion!"

When the three sisters Xichun, Yingchun and Tanchun heard this, they all started talking in a low voice.

Grandmother Jia smiled and shook her head.

Wang Xifeng asked,

"Old Madam, it's at least a thousand eight hundred miles from Yangzhou to Beijing. I don't know when it will be delivered so I can make some preparations early."

After a moment's thought, Jia Mu said,

"My granddaughter is one year younger than Baoyu. It would be difficult for her to travel a thousand miles alone. She needs someone to look after her."

"Her father is a high-ranking official, so she can't leave without permission."

Everyone fell silent after hearing this.

Grandmother Jia thought for a moment, then looked at Wang Xifeng and said,

"What has Lian'er been busy with lately?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xifeng, whose eyelashes were empty even after being plucked out, instantly understood what Lady Jia meant.

He laughed and said,

"These days, he often goes to the East Palace to help Brother Zhen."

Upon hearing this, Jia Mu frowned and moved her mouth, but still said nothing.

Although she was old, she didn't really know anything about the character of Jia Zhen from the East Palace.

Grandmother Jia slowly took off the glasses she was wearing.

The sharp-eyed Yuanyang on the side quickly took the glasses and put them into the box.

After a moment's hesitation, Jia's mother said,

"Why not have Lian'er take some followers to Yangzhou and bring the person back?"

Wang Xifeng was overjoyed when she heard this and immediately nodded in agreement.

After all, Jia Lian has never had a proper job in Rongguo Mansion, so this is a good opportunity for him to show up in front of the old lady so that he can mention it later.

However, after looking at Madam Xing in front of him who remained expressionless, he smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

Mrs. Wang frowned slightly, her eyelids moved slightly, but she said nothing, and moved the Buddhist beads in her hand a little faster.

Grandmother Jia took in everyone's expressions and gestures and pretended not to see them.

He said with emotion,

"As a man from the Duke of Rong's Mansion, I should be able to stand on my own two feet. It would be good for me to gain some experience outside."

Then he said to Madam Xing,

"Madam, what do you think?"

Mrs. Xing hurriedly stood up and bowed to Lady Jia.

"What the old lady said is true. I will tell the master later."

Grandmother Jia nodded slightly, turned to look at Wang Xifeng and said,

"You have prepared everything for the trip. Let Lian'er leave as soon as possible!"

"I heard that the imperial court will soon suppress bandits in Yangzhou. If there is chaos and disorder, it is better to go and return early."

"Yes, old lady!"

Wang Xifeng responded happily.

When Jia Baoyu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He hurriedly took Lady Jia's hand and asked,

"Old lady, what do you mean by bandit suppression? Can you tell me about it?"
