"She went to Jiao's house?"

Jia Lian, who was uneasy because of the premonition of green clouds, was stunned for a moment when he heard the news that the boy had come back for the third time, and then asked hurriedly: "Is the news reliable?"

"It shouldn't be wrong."

The boy replied firmly: "Because he said he was going to Jiao's house to visit relatives, the city patrol officials reluctantly let him go. For this reason, they even sent a few people to follow him, saying that they would ask Uncle Jiao to act as a guarantee in person.

.”

Since the people from the City Patrol Department followed him, they should have gone to Jiao's house.

Jia Lian's face turned slightly bright, and he said to himself, "I don't know what the other person is like, so I still don't know what Jiao Shun looks like? He is a rough and rough man. If he were a woman, she would never look down on someone like him."

perhaps……

That woman said that just to make herself think wildly?

After some self-comfort, Jia Lian's mood immediately improved a lot, but just in case, he still prepared to rush to Jiao's house overnight to bring Wang Xifeng back.

So he hurried to the west corner gate and was about to go out on horseback, but was stopped by the patrolmen.

Jia Lian was already impatient, so he couldn't help but whip his whip and scold: "Are you blind? You didn't stop the woman who committed the crime, but you stopped me, the second master?!"

The patrolmen didn't dare to offend him, so they gathered around and said with a smile: "Second Master Lian, don't be upset, we can't do anything about it. You see, the Second Grandma has already left the house. If you leave again, if you go up to the peak and ask, we really can't do it."

There’s no way to explain it.”

Although he said a lot of soft words, he had no intention of getting out of the way.

Jia Lian saw that force was too much, so he was about to follow Wang Xifeng's example and compromise, asking them to separate a few people to follow him. Suddenly, he saw several horses galloping towards him in the night, and the leader was a young eunuch.

Jia Lian was agitated immediately, fearing that he would be implicated by the Wang family again.

Fortunately, the little eunuch was close, so he raised his voice and said: "I have a letter from the family of the Concubine Xiande, please go and pass it on immediately!"

Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, but then his heart was in his throat again.

Since Jia Yuanchun made a comeback, not a single word has been spread out. The letters from home that the Rongguo Mansion tried to throw into the palace were like mud being thrown into the sea, without making any sound.

Now that Wang Ziteng had just been proven guilty, she sent a letter home overnight. If she said there was no connection, who would believe it?!

It was a matter of life and fortune. At that moment, he didn't care about chasing Wang Xifeng anymore. He hurriedly stepped forward to lead the eunuch inside and made some inquiries. However, the little eunuch was just an errand deliverer and didn't even have the title of messenger.

If not, how can we possibly give an answer?

Just like that, he was welcomed into the Hall of Rongxi. Not long after, Jia Zheng also arrived after hearing the news.

Since it was a letter from home and not a gift from a decree, there was naturally no need for red tape. After receiving the letter from the eunuch, Jia Zheng couldn't wait to open it and read it word for word.

After reading it, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and his expression softened a lot. He raised his head and smiled at the eunuch who delivered the letter, and said: "Please wait a moment, father-in-law. I will write a reply right away, and I will take it back to my father-in-law."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

The eunuch has received a lot of benefits just now, so he is naturally very talkative now.

Jia Zheng turned to the ear room and just walked to the desk to flip through the Four Treasures of the Study. Jia Lian, who followed behind him, couldn't wait to ask: "Uncle, what did the empress write in the letter? Is it related to the matter of Captain Wang this time?"

"You're worrying too much."

Jia Zheng pretended to be calm and relaxed, but in fact the cold sweat on his body had not completely subsided. He spread out the letter paper and picked up the brush, and said with a smile: "It's just an ordinary letter from home. The queen asked us in the letter

Regarding the current situation of the family, Baoyu gave Baoyu a few words of encouragement - and then there was the girl Xiangyun. The empress asked her in detail about her recent hobbies, most likely she wanted to reward her with something."

After hearing this, Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, but felt vaguely that the matter should not be so simple, or that it should not be such a coincidence, so he looked at the letter from home eagerly again.

When Jia Zheng saw this, he pushed the family letter in front of him and said, "Read it for yourself."

Jia Lian hurriedly took it up with both hands and carefully took out the letter paper inside and looked at it line by line. The content was exactly the same as what Jia Zheng said.

only……

After greeting the elders such as the old lady, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Xing, the first person mentioned by the peers was neither Jia Baoyu nor Shi Xiangyun, but Lin Daiyu.

Although the amount of pen and ink used on Lin Daiyu is far less than when Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu are mentioned later, it still seems a bit abrupt.

Jia Lian couldn't figure out the reason for this suddenness, so he just thought that Yuan Chun wanted to care about his cousin on a whim. This was not without precedent. Xue Baochai had won this honor before, and Lin Daiyu was usually tied with Sanchun.

, Now that Baochai is gone, it makes sense for Daiyu to take the lead.

Therefore, after reading it, he completely relaxed and said with a smile: "If your Majesty can hand over such a letter from home, it must mean that there will be no trouble in the family."

In this way, he no longer has to rush to divorce his wife...

wrong!

As soon as the crisis was over, he suddenly remembered the ominous sign of the green cloud, and he wished he could go out and chase Wang Xifeng immediately.

However, according to family practice, since he brought the eunuch in by himself, he should send it out by himself. There must be a suitable reason for this temporary withdrawal - he didn't want Jia Zheng to know that Wang Xifeng was probably going to be a Buddhist monk.

Already.

Just when I was worried, I suddenly saw Mrs. Wang leading Tanchun in. She asked half eagerly and half fearfully: "What did the eldest sister write in the letter?! It couldn't be from the Wang family..."

"It has nothing to do with your mother's family's affairs!"

Jia Zheng replied coldly, and by the way, he motioned to Jia Lian to pass the family letter to Mrs. Wang for review.

Mrs. Wang took it in her hand and read it from beginning to end. While she was relieved, she was also worried - Jia Yuanchun did not mention anything about the Wang family in the letter, which may be good news for the Rongguo Mansion, but for

She and Wang Xifeng have never seen anything like this.

However, because of Jia Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu, her dependence on her natal family is much smaller than that of Wang Xifeng, so this sorrow is not too strong.

Seeing her stunned expression with a complex expression, Tanchun, who had been waiting beside her for a long time, couldn't help but cough slightly.

Only then did Mrs. Wang remember to pass the family letter to her.

Tanchun took it and took a quick glance at it, then frowned and looked again carefully. She also noticed the abruptness in the order, but she did not hesitate like Jia Zheng and others. She thought carefully for a long time and suddenly said:

"Master, does this letter from the family ask Brother Jiao to give you a hand?"

"Um?"

Jia Zheng, who was writing a reply, and Jia Lian, who was worried about finding a reason to escape as soon as possible, both looked over after hearing this.

Jia Zheng put down the brush in his hand and asked unhappily: "What do you mean by that? Is there anything wrong with the letter?"

"I can't say it's inappropriate, but..."

Tan Chun considered it carefully and said: "This is the first time that the empress asked Sister Lin alone, but she was ranked before Sister Xiangyun and Brother Bao, and she asked in such detail. Don't you think it's strange, sir?"

"this……"

When Jia Zheng heard what she said, he also felt a little strange, but he didn't think deeply about it, and he didn't want to show his timidity in front of his daughter, so he waved his hands indifferently and said: "What's so strange about this? Didn't the empress do this before?"

Are Baochai and Xiangyun mentioned separately?"

How can this be confused?

Not to mention that when mentioning the two of them, Baoyu, his biological brother, was never mentioned above. Judging from the practice in the past, Jia Yuanchun obviously did not like Lin Daiyu, his cousin, but now he suddenly ranked her at the top.

No matter how you think about it, nothing is right!

But it was difficult to say this clearly in front of Jia Zheng, so she could only find another way: "Even if we don't mention this matter, just the purpose of sending the letter home is worthy of our careful consideration - besides, in the letter, the empress

"Zhong repeatedly asked about Sister Xiangyun's preferences, presumably to make us rely on Brother Jiao."

Jia Zheng did not refute this time. After all, he was worried that something serious had happened at first.

Jia Lian was in a state of instinctive rejection of Jiao Shunsheng. Hearing this, he subconsciously retorted: "Then let's just figure it out ourselves. Why bother..."

Halfway through, he suddenly realized, wasn't this a suitable reason for him to run to Jiao's house overnight?

Then he made another 180-degree turn and said: "But Jiao Shun does have some skills, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to ask him to help Zhang Zhangyan. If uncle doesn't object, my nephew will go to Jiao's house that night!"

"

His inconsistency aroused everyone's attention.

However, Jia Zheng did not ask why. He pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's all, then you can take this book with you."

Jia Lian seemed to have been pardoned and left in a hurry.

The patrolman guarding outside, fearing that he was following the orders of Concubine Xiande, did not dare to stop him this time. He only sent two people to follow him on horseback - it was not that he did not want to send more people to follow.

Mainly because there are not enough horses.

The whole journey was silent.

By the time he arrived at Jiao's house in a hurry, he was nearly three-quarters of an hour later than Wang Xifeng, but Jia Lian didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, he thought, even if the two of them hooked up and committed adultery, they had to go through the process of hooking up first.

, you can’t just go straight to sowing and fertilizing as soon as you come up, right?

Therefore, when he arrived at Jiao's house, he was calm and calmly sat down in the front hall, just waiting for Jiao Shun to come and entertain his guests.

When the news came to the back house, Wang Xifeng, who was already soft but gritted his teeth and was determined to fight to the death, couldn't help but sneered: "Does he know he's anxious now? It's too late!"

That's right, we should have been anxious last year.

Jiao Shun sighed, stood up and said, "I'm already here, why should I go and meet him for a while?"

Wang Xifeng made a show of getting up: "Then I'll go find Xiangyun...forget it, I'll finish my tea first."

Haha~

Jiao Shun cast a disdainful sidelong glance at the tough-tongued woman, then walked out to the front yard and living room.

After they met and exchanged a few words, Jia Lian was eager to know Wang Xifeng's movements, but he felt that he shouldn't show his timidity to Jiao Shun. Besides, everyone was already here, so what was there to worry about?

So he suppressed the restlessness in his heart, first took out the family letter and said: "The main reason why I came here this time is because the empress suddenly revised a letter. Although the content is just an ordinary family letter, the elders in the family are worried that there is another mystery, so I want to ask Brother Shun.

Please help me with my eyes."

"Your Majesty's home letter?"

Jiao Shun's heart moved, and he took it and glanced at it. When he saw Lin Daiyu suddenly lined up in front of Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu, he suddenly understood. He gently put the book aside and sighed: "The empress is indeed a heroine."

No wonder I realized something was wrong so quickly."

"Um?"

Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't believe it - Jiao Shun had just glanced at it a few times. Could it be that he could read it more thoroughly than he did by reading it in detail?

Seeing this, Jiao Shun added: "Originally, I was just guessing, but now that I have this letter from you, it should be conclusive. What I'm worried about is that something will change in the Lin family."

"Has something changed in the Lin family?"

Jia Lian was even more confused. What is the Lin family? Where did the Lin family come from? Is there still a serious Lin family now?

"To be precise, I am worried that Mr. Lin Ruhailin, the Salt Patrol Censor who died in office, will be involved in this party dispute."

"this……"

Jia Lian vaguely seemed to have grasped something from the four words "Yu Shi" mentioned by Jiao Shun, but he had not fully understood it yet. He subconsciously said: "How is this possible? My uncle has been dead for several years...

…Hiss~!”

After all, he was not a complete idiot. Halfway through the sentence, he realized that it was precisely because he had no evidence that he was best suited to take the blame!

At that moment, he took a breath of cold air and murmured: "No wonder the empress suddenly put Sister Lin in front. It turns out..."

"yes."

Jiao Shun nodded and said: "Once Mr. Lin is involved, Miss Lin is afraid that she will not be able to escape the implication - fortunately, when she came out of Rongguo Mansion, she was carefully searched by the patrols, and it was a blessing in disguise that she avoided a lot of trouble.

.”

"Have you been searched and saved from trouble?"

Jia Lian didn't understand again.

"Yes, salt officials have always been either honest or corrupt. If it is found out that Mr. Lin connived with the township party to sell illegal salt, then the court will naturally trace the family property he left behind. By then..."

squeak~

Before Jiao Shun finished speaking, Jia Lian had already stood up in shock, with such force that the chair was pushed back half a foot, making a harsh friction sound.

"What's wrong?"

Jiao Shun asked knowingly.

"No, it's nothing."

Jia Lian replied with a trembling voice, but his pale face and the cold sweat that quickly oozed out clearly betrayed the fear and shock in his heart.

He subconsciously took two steps out before he remembered to say goodbye to Jiao Shun, so he quickly turned around and said, "This is a serious matter, I'll go back and report it to my uncle right now!"

Saying that, he turned around and left.

Jiao Shun hurriedly picked up the letter on the table and rushed over to give it to him.

Jia Lian only had time to say thank you before stumbling into the night.

Uh~

Watching his back disappear, Jiao Shun touched his chin and was speechless for a long time before returning to the backyard.

As soon as he saw him coming in, Wang Xifeng immediately stood up and asked, "Where is Jia Lian? What did he tell you?"

"It is said that the empress in the palace sent a letter home, asking me to help palm the eyes."

"What else?!"

At other times, Wang Xifeng might have paid attention to the letter home immediately, but now she was more concerned about Jia Lian's feedback on her night trip to Jiao Mansion.

"Um……"

Jiao Shun spread his hands: "Other than that, I didn't say anything."

"How can it be?!"

Wang Xifeng firmly did not believe it.

"Really, he has already gone back."

"This this……"

Seeing Jiao Shun's vow, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but chewed her silver teeth and stamped her feet: "He really deserves to be a turtle bastard!"

With that said, he pounced on Jiao Shun and pulled off Jiao Shun's clothes, obviously intending to use practical actions to continue to add to Jia Lian's turtle image.

Jiao Shun didn't dodge this time, he just looked at her with a smile but not a smile and said, "Are you sure you can still make it?"

"Why not?!"
Chapter completed!
