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

Dai Quan clasped his fists and saluted towards Xia Shouzhong's back.

With Xia Shouzhong's departure, the armored soldiers who were on curfew around the dock also withdrew.

The pedestrians and business travelers who were originally isolated outside all came forward.

However, when they saw Dai Quan still standing under the umbrella, they looked at Dai Quan with a dozen eunuchs and guards cautiously, and whispered to each other.

But everyone stopped in their tracks, fearing that they might offend someone.

Dai Quan seemed to be unconcerned about the fact that his group was blocking the passage to the dock.

After all, the purpose of his mission today is to demonstrate the grace of the current emperor. The more people see it, the better he has done his job!

Dai Quan turned his back to the crowd and faced the dock, watching a two-story ship with a large flag bearing the Chinese character "Jia" slowly approaching the dock, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Among the crowd behind Dai Quan,

Jia She, who was wearing a brocade robe and a brocade hat, saw Dai Quan standing on the dock with no intention of moving, and he couldn't help but feel anxious and worried.

He volunteered to take on this mission to Lady Jia and Jia Zheng last night in order to bring his niece from Yangzhou to the Rongguo Mansion.

After waiting for more than two hours, the imperial guards finally withdrew.

But now, the eunuch Dai Quan is still blocking the dock. How can he spend time with his niece?

Even though Jia She wanted to curry favor with the eunuch who was close to Emperor Xinglong, he knew that he was not qualified.

The last time Dai Quan went to Ningguo Mansion to convey the imperial decree to deprive Jia Zhen of his title, Jia She wanted to get close to him and curry favor with him, but ended up getting himself into trouble.

Now he won't go forward at all.

When Jia She saw Dai Quan's eyes cast towards the big ship flying the Jia family's flag, his heart tightened.

I couldn't help but feel anxious, and at the same time I prayed silently, hoping that this eunuch's job would not have anything to do with the Jia family!

In the most elegant and luxurious top-floor pavilion on the ship.

On a small couch by the window, delicate green smoke was slowly rising from an elegant incense burner on the table.

Lin Daiyu held a collection of poems in one hand and read it carefully, while with the other slender hand she occasionally picked up a grape from the plate on the table and slowly put it into her mouth.

Suddenly, Rong Mama walked into the room.

He bowed slightly to Lin Daiyu, who was reading a collection of poems, and said respectfully,

"Miss! The official ships ahead have all dispersed, and our ship will be docking soon!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Daiyu slowly put down the book in her hand and looked up at Rong Mama.

"Mammy, is everything ready?"

As she spoke, Lin Daiyu picked up a handkerchief from the table and gently touched the corners of her mouth.

Hearing the quiet loneliness in Lin Daiyu's words, Rong Mama nodded slightly and said,

"Don't worry, young lady. I had already ordered the items to be collected when the official ship first landed."

"Your cousin from the Jia family has already informed you that your uncle will be personally meeting you at the dock, and all the necessary carriages and sedan chairs are ready."

Lin Daiyu was slightly surprised when she heard this.

"My uncle personally greets me? How can a niece like me be worthy of this?"

Aunt Rong smiled and nodded.

"That's true, young lady. But Jia Lian said it was arranged by your grandmother herself, and even he and your eldest uncle dared not disobey."

"The old Lord of the Jia family still loves the young lady very much!"

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she could not help but feel the deep love and care of her grandmother whom she had never met.

While I was moved,

She also secretly blamed herself for not having come to visit her for so many years.

My eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red.

Seeing this, Rong Mama hurriedly took down a pure white cloak with dark cloud patterns from the hanger beside her and walked over to Lin Daiyu, gently putting it on her and saying,

"Miss, there's no need to blame yourself. After all, we're thousands of miles apart, and it's inconvenient to travel back and forth."

Then he changed the subject.

"Although it's still a bit cold outside, the wind is strong on the dock, so you should wear this cloak."

Then he looked at Lin Daiyu and said with a smile,

"Come to think of it, this white fox fur cloak was made and sent to you by the Bee Master himself."

Hearing what Rong Mama said, Lin Daiyu's cheeks turned slightly red, and she couldn't help but raise her hand and gently stroke the cloak. Her originally slightly heavy mood was instantly filled with sweetness.

Since leaving Yangzhou, Lin Daiyu would receive letters, food and daily necessities sent by Li Qingfeng almost every three to five days.

Although Lin Daiyu grew up in a family of officials, she never lacked food and supplies.

But Li Qingfeng's arrangement made Lin Daiyu feel deep love and care.

I had just arrived at the Shenjing Wharf, but I was already thinking about when I could return to Yangzhou and meet my brother Qingfeng again.

Soon, the ship docked at the Shenjing Pier.

Jia Lian ordered someone to report to Rong Mama, and then went out of the cabin to look for his father Jia She.

But as soon as I got out of the cabin, I saw the dock.

The person standing there now was not Jia She, but a white-faced, beardless eunuch holding a whisk in his arms.

The whole person was stunned for a moment.

Although they didn't understand why a eunuch suddenly appeared here, they couldn't afford to offend anyone without balls.

And judging from the situation, it seemed that they were obviously heading towards their ship, so they couldn't help but feel nervous.

When Jia Lian saw the eunuch's half-smile on his face, he felt a little dry in the mouth.

But he still took a step forward and bowed,

"I dare, I dare to ask this eunuch..."
