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

Lin Daiyu felt strange in her heart and wanted to say something.

If nothing unexpected happened, the letter she wrote to her father must have reached her father's hands by now, so there was no need to trouble her uncle.

But when he thought about his relationship with Qingfeng Village, he still remembered Rong Mama's repeated warnings.

He smiled and nodded and said,

"Thank you, Grandpa. I'll keep that in mind."

at this time,

A maid appeared quickly in front of Rongxi Hall and reported,

"Madam, the master is here and he said he has something to discuss with you."

Grandmother Jia looked around, then smiled and nodded, saying,

"Let him come here directly. We are all family here, and there is no need to be shy."

"By the way, everyone should also congratulate the master."

"Yes, old lady!"

Although Jia Zheng may not be capable enough, he is a scholar who knows etiquette and abides by the rules.

Unlike that fellow Jia Baoyu, although Jia Zheng's courtyard was only separated from Rong Xitang by a wall,

But generally speaking, without the permission of Lady Jia,

He would never set foot in Rongxitang without permission.

After Aunt Dai Na left,

Mrs. Wang immediately stood up and walked to the door, ready to greet him.

Seeing this, the other wives, young ladies, maids and nannies also stood up.

Even Lin Daiyu had no choice but to stand up with everyone else.

After a while, everyone heard footsteps.

Seeing Jia Zheng appear at the door in a somewhat dazed state.

This made many young ladies and wives who were originally preparing to congratulate dare not speak, for fear of saying something wrong.

When Lady Jia saw this, she was immediately confused.

After Jia Zheng entered the room, he was stunned by the scene of everyone preparing to pay their respects.

Puzzled, I asked,

"What are you doing?"

Mrs. Wang smiled and bowed to Jia Zheng, saying,

"Congratulations, sir, for earning the emperor's high regard and the title of Imperial Envoy."

Jia Zheng came back to his senses indifferently and looked at Mrs. Wang, who looked very happy, with an expressionless face.

With a light hum, he said calmly,

"Humph! Are you so happy that I'm going to be the imperial envoy?"

Hearing the displeasure and indifference in Jia Zheng's words,

Mrs. Wang felt anxious. Did she say something wrong?

But still forced a smile and said,

"Master, someone came from the palace earlier and read the imperial edict, and also brought rewards from the palace."

"Old lady and everyone else, we are all happy for you!"

Jia Zheng sighed deeply, without saying anything more, and walked straight up to Lady Jia and bowed.

"old lady!"

At this time, Jia's mother also found something wrong. She frowned and looked at Jia Zheng in confusion and asked,

"Master, what's going on? Why are you so arrogant?"

Hearing what Grandmother Jia said, Jia Zheng's eyes turned red.

With a plop, he knelt down in front of Lady Jia.

"Old lady, I am an unfilial son. I have come here today to say goodbye to you."

Grandmother Jia was even more bewildered.

"Master, what happened?"

"Quick! Stand up and talk first! Why can't you just talk things over nicely? Why are you being so polite for no reason?"

"Today, you've been honored by the palace and appointed an imperial envoy. How much trust does the emperor place in my Jia family? What an honor this is for my Jia family!"

"It's time for everyone to have fun together."

Jia Zheng felt even more miserable and sighed helplessly.

"Old lady, you don't know!"

Immediately, Jia Zheng presented his remarks at the court meeting today.

He told everything he had heard about the situation in Yangzhou and Jinling.

Now, after the court meeting, these are no longer considered secrets. They can naturally be told to the people in the mansion and the backyard.

When everyone heard that the rebels in Yangzhou had completely occupied Yangzhou and captured Suzhou, Hangzhou and surrounding areas,

He will have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and will surround Nanjing, and his momentum is at its peak.

All the young ladies and wives exclaimed in surprise.

Not long ago, they were discussing in the mansion that the imperial court had sent several dukes with hundreds of thousands of troops to Yangzhou to suppress the bandits.

They are all women in the inner house, so naturally they don't pay attention to these things.

In their view, anyone who dares to confront the imperial court will only end up dead!

But now, after hearing what Jia Zheng said,

It seems that those rebels are also some powerful characters!

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu was happy for her brother Qingfeng from the bottom of her heart.

Her little face was also rosy, her eyes showed a hint of ease and relief, and the corners of her mouth were always unconsciously raised.

But she concealed it well by twisting it between her fingers with a handkerchief and placing it on the corner of her mouth.

After hearing this, Grandmother Jia was stunned and stood there, unable to believe her ears.

"Didn't they say that several of the old dukes, including the Duke of Zhenguo, had gone to Yangzhou?"

"How could you not catch a small rebel?"

Jia Zheng sighed, nodded, and said helplessly,

"A few days ago, Jinling's report had already reached the Divine Capital, but it was not made public at the time."

"Not long ago, the Duke of Zhenguo and the Duke of Liguo died in battle in Yangzhou. Even the Duke of Shanguo was killed for improperly deploying troops. Yesterday, the Duke of Shanguo's mansion was ransacked because of this!"

After saying this, Jia Zheng looked up at Jia Mu with red eyes and said,

"Old Madam, I'm going to Yangzhou now. I'm afraid that my chances of returning home to fulfill my filial duties to you are slim. I just hope that you can take good care of your health in the future."

Grandmother Jia was also very worried at this moment.

After thinking for a while, he said,

"According to what you said, Yangzhou is indeed not a good place, it is extremely dangerous!"

"How about I, an old woman, risk my dignity and go to the palace to find the old concubine and ask for mercy for you?"
