Qing Wu Red House

Besides, Yuan Qing came to report in a hurry, both Lin Haorui and Chu Tianyou were a little surprised, and hurriedly asked the servants to take the lanterns and go to the gate of Lin Mansion.Three feet away from the gate, there were several corpses lying here and there, and the bundles beside them were scattered on the ground, obviously they had been searched.

Lin Haorui stood at the door with a gloomy expression, and asked angrily, "What exactly do you want to do? They are just servants with no strength to restrain a chicken, why are they so cruel!" Lin Haorui asked, but no one answered.

After a long time, Lin Haorui ordered feebly: "Take back the mansion and bury it generously. Remember not to go beyond one foot!"

But Chu Tianyou drew out his long sword fiercely, flashed past Lin Haorui, and jumped three feet away in the blink of an eye.Before Lin Haorui could yell out, he saw a burst of sharp arrows shooting from the east and west sides of the Lin Mansion. Chu Tianyou, relying on his skill and boldness, protected himself with a sword, he swung left and right to block back.When he returned to Lin Haorui's side, there was already a thin layer of sweat on his face.

As soon as he stood still, he dragged Lin Haorui back to the Lin Mansion, and walked quickly to the Songyuan before he spoke: "The besieged people have changed, and they are much tighter than when I went out in the daytime. Not even a single mouse can get in."

"You are too foolish. If you were injured just now, wouldn't it add to the trouble?" Lin Haorui glared at Chu Tianyou angrily, with an irritable expression on his face.The few people who died at the door just now were servants of the Lin family, and they probably climbed out from the outer wall in the dark of night, trying to find a way out.

Chu Tianyou didn't care about Lin Haorui's anger at all, and said to Yuan Qing: "Go and inform Steward Lin that no one can leave the courtyard without permission except those from the Nursing Academy and Daming Temple. Just say what your uncle said, and anyone who violates it will be punished." Kill him!" After speaking, he patted Lin Haorui on the shoulder, and said softly: "It seems that your secret room has really played a big role."

At that time, Lin Haorui led his senior brother Cao Hai and three monks to guard the courtyard and forced his way out from the main entrance.The five people's martial arts are not weak, and they didn't hold on for a quarter of an hour, so they were forced to retreat inside the door.

It was still the old voice: "Hahaha, Lin's son, you don't need to waste your efforts. You can't get out of this Lin mansion, and you can't even enter if the rescuers come!"

"What do you want?" Lin Haorui shouted.

"Hand over Lin Ruhai, and you are not allowed to take anything out of the Lin residence. I will spare your life!"

"Dream!" Lin Haorui said angrily.

The old man smiled indifferently: "This old man admits, with that old bald donkey Huijing around, your guards are good, but this old man is not in a hurry, let's just waste it like this!"

Just when the main entrance was in full swing, Chu Tianyou sneaked out of the Lin Mansion through the secret passage of the Lin Mansion with his senior brothers Zheng Jin, Ding Daqiang, and the servant Zhan Duo.The troops were divided into four groups: Zheng Jin went to Daming Temple to dispatch lay disciples; Zhan Duo went to arrange the itinerary; Ding Daqiang took the tokens of Chen Huwei and Fang Huwei to visit Master Wang; His big girl Ruyan and 10 outstanding guards.

After Mrs. Chu knew about Lin Ruhai's situation, she didn't have any worries about her son's safety. Instead, she immediately called Mother Zhao, who was beside her, and asked Chu Tianyou to try to send him to Lin's residence. She admitted that Mother Zhao was very knowledgeable about detoxification.Chu Tianyou couldn't help it, so he had to wait until it was dark again, and then he personally brought Zhao's mother into Jia's mansion from the secret road, handed it over to Lin Haorui, and then quickly turned back, joined Zheng Jin and others, and hurried to Beijing.

At this time, Daiyu was going to Lixiangyuan with Baoyu to visit a doctor. Baochai fell ill a few days ago. Come and find out with Daiyu.

Daiyu laughed: "People go to visit patients, but you smell the fragrance instead. It is said that thousands of miles send kindness, and smell the fragrance to know the elegance. What kind of affection are you sending, and what do you know!" Zijuan and the following nuns They all snickered, and Baoyu was a little embarrassed: "Come on, I can't say enough about you. I don't think I've heard of it before!"

Daiyu snorted, "Don't listen to indecent words, don't speak indecent words. She is the most well-behaved character, so why do you have to make fun of yourself because of this. I've bothered to mention you so much, so it's fine if you don't appreciate it, but you will feel sorry for her." I am dissatisfied with life, confused and confused!" When Baoyu heard this, he immediately felt joy in his heart, and said softly: "My dear sister, don't bother with me. I am not the person who doesn't know what is good or bad. Although I don't say it on my mouth, I am happy in my heart Very good!"

The two talked and laughed, and entered the Lixiangyuan. Aunt Xue greeted her in a kind way, and saw Xue Baochai wearing a light green jacket that was probably new, with a lotus-colored pleated skirt underneath, and hairpin rings all over her head. Nothing, just casually tied a bun, and was sitting in front of the window tying knots.

"Is sister Bao okay?" Baoyu walked over with a smile and asked with a smile on his face.

"Sit down, you two, and Yinger will make tea!" Xue Baochai said with a smile: "It's just in time, my brother just got some high-quality big red robes today, so I asked Yinger to take out the rainwater from the old year, and let's take a closer look." Wouldn't it be fun to taste it once!"

Baoyu clapped his hands: "It's so good. The Dahongpao is the tea from the tribute. How can Big Brother Xue get it?"

"Who cares how he gets it, you just have to drink tea!" Aunt Xue said with a smile, ordered some fruit plates to be placed, and then went out to let the children talk freely.

"Sister Bao is such an elegant person. From south to north, it still carries the rain of the old year!" Daiyu smiled.

Baochai said: "How do you know that I can't do anything about it? It's just because my disease has never been cured since I was a child. I only take one medicine that works, but that medicine needs this rainwater as a medicine, so I develop a habit of collecting money every year. The habit of rain."

Just as Baoyu was about to answer the conversation in high spirits, when he turned around and saw Daiyu's sly smile, he stopped talking.Changed another topic: "If Sister Bao is taking medicine, it is not suitable to drink tea. You must know that this tea is the best antidote!"

"Maybe!" Baochai smiled.

Just as the three of them were saying this, Mu Qing's voice sounded outside: "Is Miss Lin here?" Daiyu smiled and said, "Where did you find it? Is there something wrong?" Mu Qing picked up the curtain and came in: "At home Someone is here, the old lady asked the girl to go to the main hall."

Daiyu was overjoyed and said, "But brother came to pick me up for the New Year?" Then she saluted Baochai and said, "Sister Bao is recuperating, so Daiyu will go back first!"

Baoyu also stood up, with a bad expression on his face: "Sister Lin and I will go back together!" Then he saluted Baochai indiscriminately, and followed Daiyu to Jiamu's main hall.

Who knows, the atmosphere in the main hall is a bit stiff at this time, although Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng are all there, no one is joking.Daiyu was a little strange, and stepped forward to salute Jia Mu: "The old ancestor called me?"

"Yu'er." Mother Jia sighed, "I have something to tell you."

Seeing Jia Mu like this, Daiyu felt even more disturbed, and couldn't help standing in front of Jia Mu again.Then Jiamu said sadly: "Someone came from your house, saying that my uncle was attacked by gangsters when he went to the Yamen a few days ago, and was in a coma with poisoned arrows..." Before Jiamu finished speaking, she saw Dai Yu's complexion changed drastically, and she passed out with a pain in her chest.

"Sister Lin!" Baoyu yelled, and Zijuan hurriedly caught Daiyu, pinching someone and pinching the tiger's mouth. Daiyu woke up and cried immediately: "Father..."

"Yu'er, my Yu'er!" Mother Jia couldn't help crying in her arms, thinking that Daiyu lost her mother when she was young and her father went through such a disaster, she couldn't help but feel very distressed.

Daiyu cried for a while, then regained her composure, knelt on the ground and begged, "Please allow Daiyu to go back to Yangzhou to visit her father!" Mother Jia knew that Daiyu would make such a request, so she could not help but sigh deeply. She helped Daiyu up with her own hands: "Yu'er, it's not that grandma is cruel and won't let you go back, but that the current Lin Mansion is really a den of dragons and tigers, and you can't break into it. Besides, the meaning brought by Brother Lin is also not to let you go back. Then The side is too dangerous, if you have troubles, how can I, an old lady, live!"

"What did the old ancestor say? Tell sister Lin quickly!" Baoyu was also in a hurry. Seeing Daiyu crying so miserably, his whole heart was in a mess.

Only then did Mother Jia explain Chu Tianyou's words in detail. Daiyu became even more anxious when she heard that her family's situation was so urgent: "Old Ancestor, Daiyu must go back. Both her father and elder brother's lives are in danger. Daiyu How can Yu live alone. Even if he wants to preserve the flesh and blood of the Lin family, he should stay out of the way." Mother Jia sighed, "You girl, why are you so twisted! Now that the Lin family is trapped, even if the emperor orders The Hangzhou army goes to rescue the siege, when the time comes, the soldiers will be in chaos, and the sword will have no eyes, how can Yu'er guarantee to retreat completely?"

"Old Ancestor, please fulfill me, I don't want to regret for the rest of my life!" Daiyu said resolutely, and Baoyu saw the resolute expression on Daiyu's face, which made the face that was originally out of the world even more dazzling. Unable to look away for a while, he followed suit and said, "Old lady, I will go back with Sister Lin."

"Nonsense!" Mother Jia shouted.

"Baoyu, stop talking nonsense!" Mrs. Wang also drank.

Daiyu also ignored Baoyu, but said firmly to Mother Jia: "Old ancestor, Daiyu is the blood of the Lin family and the only daughter of her father. My father is seriously ill in bed, and I, a daughter, cannot stay in front of the bed and serve the decoction. It’s not filial piety, if she hides thousands of miles away and dare not go home to visit her father because she’s afraid of suffering at home, wouldn’t she be worse than an animal? If...if her father has something good or bad, Daiyu doesn’t have to live!”

Mother Jia looked at Daiyu in a daze. Daiyu who was so resolute was just like Jia Min who married alone many years ago. At that time, Jia Min was also so resolute and would not give an inch.Mother Jia sighed in her heart, and said, "Come on, come on, if you stop you, it will seem that my grandmother is heinous."

"Old lady!" Wang Xifeng said in surprise, "According to Mr. Chu's words just now, you have to think twice? Sister Lin's going here is too risky." Jia Mu waved her hand and signaled Wang Xifeng not to say any more, "Go invite Mr. Chu Come in, Daiyu, see you later!"

Daiyu was a little surprised, but followed the instructions and turned into a screen. Not long after, a young man who was about the same age as her elder brother walked in quickly, and calmly saluted Jia Mu: "I have seen the old lady." Chu Tianyou was startled After coming to Jia's mansion for a long time, I told Jiamu about the situation in Yangzhou in detail, and asked Jiamu to submit the letter from the governor of Suzhou and Hangzhou.Mother Jia knew that this matter should not be delayed, so she immediately asked Jia Zheng to take her greeting card to see King Beijing.

At this time, if Mother Jia called him in again, it might be Miss Lin's business.Sure enough, Mother Jia pointed helplessly at the screen and said, "My granddaughter insists on returning to Yangzhou, according to Mr. Chu..." Mother Jia pinned her last hope on Chu Tianyou.

Chu Tianyou frowned slightly when he heard Jia Mu's words, and saw a petite figure faintly behind the screen. After thinking for a while, he raised his voice and said, "Miss Lin, this is Hao Rui's senior brother. In the Lin residence, Brother Ling asked me to ask Miss Lin a word."

"Sir, please tell me!" Daiyu replied softly behind the screen.

Chu Tianyou first looked at Jia Mu, then at the screen, and said, "Hao Rui asked me to ask the girl, what is filial piety? What is stupid filial piety? What is ultimate filial piety?"

Daiyu was slightly taken aback, and remained silent for a while.She knew that her brother wanted to tell her that her father wanted to live a good life.She also knew that it was very difficult to tell her about it from the standpoint of an heir like her elder brother.Let her go back, if she has any accidents, someone will say that he has bad intentions.Not letting her go back is severing the relationship between father and daughter.

Therefore, Daiyu thought for a long time before she said: "everyone says, 'The filial piety should follow his heart'; but Xunzi said, 'following the Tao but not the emperor, and following the righteousness and not the father, is the great conduct of a man'. Dare I ask Mr. Chu, Heart heavy? Or righteousness? Ask Mr. Chu again, the love of parents is the same as the heaven and the earth, and the sky and the earth have collapsed, how can we survive? The little girl only acts according to her heart, but she wants to be worthy of her heart!"

Chu Tianyou smiled lightly: "But it does not insult Lin's century-old family tradition. I will come down tomorrow to pick up the girl and return to Yangzhou." After finishing speaking, he saluted Jia's mother heavily: "Old Madam, please rest assured, God Bless swears with his life to ensure that Lin The girl returned home safely!"

Daiyu was startled when she heard this, and looked up at Chu Tianyou, only to see Chu Tianyou's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, although he was more refined than his elder brother, he was just as tenacious and upright.
