Taohua Lane.

Lin Daiyu put down her brush and read the article she had just written twice, then shook her head slightly, pressing it under the paperweight beside her right hand.

She is not the kind of "waiting and relying on". Besides, the reason why she wrote a letter to Xue Baochai was more to confirm her judgment on Sister Bao, so she did not wait for Xue Baochai to reply, but kept trying to ask for new things.

Change.

But how can a person develops a long-term style and habits that can be changed in just three or five days?

It can only be said that she has made progress, but the distance between reaching a level that satisfies her herself is still far behind.

Putting down the unsatisfactory manuscript, Lin Daiyu got up and stretched her muscles and bones, walked outside the study door, and looked up at the distance, so as to relieve the discomfort caused by long-term desk--this was Jiao Shun's recent repeated instructions, she

The habit that gradually developed.

Looking at the sky, she couldn't help but breathe a breath of turbidity.

Forget it, forgot it.

I originally thought that I could give a satisfactory answer before Sister Bao wrote to me, and it would be better to judge the length and length of it, but it was obviously too late now.

Fortunately, even if she lost to Xue Baochai this time, Lin Daiyu was not frustrated, because in her opinion, this test had already divided the advantages and disadvantages - unless it was not Sister Bao's reply in a while, but Rong.

The people of the state.

After walking down the corridor for about a quarter of an hour, she was about to turn back to the study and read the book "Pride and Prejudice" from the beginning to find inspiration.

"Girl, girl!"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xueyan suddenly ran from outside the yard with a scream. She probably ran too fast. When she got closer, she opened her mouth and made her waist, and she was breathing but couldn't speak for a while.

Come.

Lin Daiyu frowned and taught a lesson: "Look at you, you are not as good as before, why are you still so frizzy?"

Xueyan rubbed her waist and finally breathed evenly, and said, "Miss, it's not that I'm frigid, it's really something big!"

"What's the big deal?"

After Lin Daiyu asked back, her expression suddenly changed and she blurted out: "Is it the people from Rongguo Mansion who came to the door?"

If this is the case, wouldn’t it prove that I have always misread Sister Bao?

If so, I would have lost a lot from beginning to end!

"People from Rongguo Mansion?"

Xueyan was stunned when she heard this, and then shook her head into a rattle: "The people in Rongguo Mansion don't have time to pay attention to us now. They are afraid that they are all attending the funeral in the Wang family!"

"Enjoy the funeral at the Wang family?"

It wasn't what I guessed, Lin Daiyu felt a little relieved: "Are you talking about Wang Taiwei's family? Could it be that something happened to his family again?"

"It was Taiwei Wang who hanged himself in Tongzhou!"

"What? Then..."

"Yeah!"

Lin Daiyu had to ask again, but Xue Yan waved her hands in a hurry and said, "Nothing is important. What's important is that Mr. Jiao was ordered to go to Tongzhou to investigate the matter. As a result, he met an assassin when he came back. He almost lost his life when he heard that he had lost his life.

!”

"What?!"

Lin Daiyu was very surprised this time. She grabbed Xueyan's wrist and trembled: "Then, where did he hurt?"

"If you are injured, you will be able to refute it?"

Xue Yan said fearfully: "I heard that the assassin's weapons were covered with poison that was covered with blood. Not to mention being injured, I was afraid that if I rubbed it, I would have to take off a layer of skin!"

When Lin Daiyu heard this, her hands trembled for a moment, and she hurriedly asked carefully about the cause and effect of the matter.

Xue Yan said: "I also heard from Brother Xu, saying that Mr. Jiao came back from Tongzhou last night and entered the palace. Then news came out that the emperor Long Yan was furious and sent people to arrest many officials overnight.

of!"

"It has been spread all over the capital now, saying that it was the Great Salt Owl from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Because he was dissatisfied with the report and exposing their crimes, he sent people from all over the place to Tongzhou, and after assassinating him, he arranged it to hang himself

He looks like committing suicide.”

"This matter was originally hidden, but the emperor sent Mr. Jiao to investigate, but it turned out that something was wrong on the spot. Later, the two assassins just wanted to kill and silence..."

After hearing what she said, Lin Daiyu gradually became confused. Although she didn't know much about the officialdom, she instinctively realized that something was wrong with this "story".

But if she had to say that the specific thing was wrong, it was difficult for her to understand it for a while.

Besides, the most important thing at this time is not to think about these things, but to confirm whether Jiao Shun is really safe and sound.

She asked again and again, and made an exception and called Brother Xu to come in and ask. As a result, Brother Xu, who was pulling the cart, was only heard from him, and the specific details were unknown.

Seeing that he could never ask anything useful again, Lin Daiyu lowered her head and pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "Brother Xu, please go to the car shop to hire a carriage."

Brother Xu was an honest man. He followed the instructions of the master and agreed without asking.

When he hurried out of the yard, Zijuan, who had been listening to it for a long time, quickly asked: "Girl, where are you planning to go?"

"Go outside Donghua Gate first!"

Lin Daiyu said firmly: "Didn't it mean that Brother Jiao entered the palace last night? Even if you can't meet someone, you can find out some news!"

In fact, it is basically a delusion for ordinary people to find out about news at Donghuamen, but although Lin Daiyu is not that ignorant, she lacks common sense in this regard.

Zijuan exchanged glances with Xueyan when she heard this, but she was all about to say something but stopped.

In fact, if you really want to find out the news, the most convenient and fastest way is to go to the Jiao family, but if Lin Daiyu is willing to go to the Jiao family, how could she stay in Taohua Lane?

Brother Xu is a car dealer, so he is naturally familiar with renting a carriage.

In about half an hour, Lin Daiyu took Zijuan and Xueyan and took two cars out of Taohua Lane and headed straight to outside Donghua Gate.

Halfway through.

Xue Yan suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took out a thick letter from her body and handed it to Lin Daiyu and said, "Girl, this is Miss Bao's reply. I was anxious just now, but I forgot it for a moment!"

Lin Daiyu subconsciously took it in her hand, looked at the cover for a while, and finally sighed and handed the letter back: "It's not too late to see you when you go back, so you can keep it first."

Xueyan blinked her big eyes in confusion. The girl had clearly thought about this letter these days, but now she finally received it, but why...

Yes, now that the master has had such a big deal, how can the girl have the time to pay attention to any reply?

After thinking through this section, Xueyan hurriedly put away the letter with endless joy. Since the girl was so concerned about Mr. Jiao, she naturally no longer had to worry about her being stubborn.

Xueyan’s speculation cannot be said to be completely wrong.

The reason why Lin Daiyu was unwilling to read Baochai's reply was indeed half because she was worried about being anxious and had no time to take care of her.

But half of it was because after receiving the letter, she suddenly felt bored from the bottom of her heart.

This reply undoubtedly confirmed her long-standing judgment on Xue Baochai, but how could she do it?

Could it be that we should use this to save the "Mushi Former Alliance", or to be at an equal footing with Baochai?

How is that possible!

What supported Lin Daiyu to do this was just a long-term obsession. At the moment of buying this letter, the obsession had already dissipated most of it - childhood sweethearts, wood and stone alliances, and Baoyu and Baochai, all of them were going to be.

It's right!

Lin even suddenly felt that her way of writing letters was very childish and ridiculous.

Under the influence of these emotions, how could she still feel like she was going to read the reply?

There is no other word along the way.

Seeing that the destination was close to each other, Brother Xu, who was driving the car, tied the reins and turned around and said, "Miss, you have arrived at Donghuamen."

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu subconsciously opened a gap in the car window and looked out, but she didn't expect that several carriages and familiar faces would immediately come into view.

At the same time, Xue Yan, who was quietly picking up the curtain and peeking out, couldn't help but exclaim: "Isn't that Sister Siqi?"

That's right, the most conspicuous one among the familiar faces is Siqi.

Since Si Qi appears here, it means that most of the people in the carriage are Shi Xiangyun and Xing Xiuyan.

Lin Daiyu was unconsciously panicked and changed her voice and color, saying: "Don't stop here, hurry up, find a hidden place, try to stay away from here as much as possible!"

Brother Xu agreed outside, and the carriage immediately restarted. He took about a hundred steps and turned into a relatively secluded street.

Lin Daiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lian Xueyan was also very afraid of patting her breasts. Although she had always hoped that her girl could return to the Jiao family, she suddenly ran into Miss Shi on the street, but she always felt that it was a thief who had seen the miserable.

Judging from the girl's performance, it is obviously similar to her own thoughts.

So Xueyan subconsciously said, "Girl, why don't we go back to peach blossom first..."

Halfway through, she realized that she shouldn't have said this.

But even though it stopped halfway, Lin Daiyu's face had changed again and again.

Xueyan regretted her feelings when she saw this. Apart from being short of breath, she actually didn't take the matter too seriously, but her own girl obviously wasn't like this.

Seeing Lin Daiyu biting her cherry lips tightly and showing a look of struggle and tangle on her face, Xueyan and Zijuan both raised their hearts to their throats, fearing that she would have the intention of going south to Suzhou again.

After all, with Lin Daiyu's arrogance, how can she withstand this shameful feeling of hiding and hiding?

Both of them wanted to persuade them, but they didn't know what to say. If they said the wrong thing like they did just now, wouldn't it be counterproductive?

In this way, the atmosphere in the car could be said to have dropped to freezing point.

I don’t know how long I was silent, but suddenly I heard Brother Xu telling the outsider of the car: “Miss, those people seem to have left. Should we rush the car over again?”

"Leave?!"

Xue Yan subconsciously opened the curtain and asked, "But you have already connected Mr. Jiao?"

"I didn't see this."

Brother Xu actually vaguely guessed what was going on, but he didn't think there was anything strange about it - those who are officials, especially those who are high-ranking officials, what's so strange about raising a few outdoor rooms?

Xueyan was still waiting to ask again, but suddenly heard a man say a crisp voice: "I asked them to go back first."

Xueyan subconsciously looked in the sound and saw a woman masked with a gauze scarf standing not far away.

Recognizing who the person was, Xue Yan glared and opened her mouth wide: "You, you..."

"Shh~"

The woman made a playful gesture to silence her. Although she was covered with a scarf, she still couldn't hide her lively and cheerful expression. But if she wasn't Shi Xiangyun, who else could she be?

Lin Daiyu, who heard the sound at this time, didn't bother to avoid being able to stick her head out, and looked at her eyes when she got in and out of the car. Shi Xiangyun laughed and said, "Sister, don't you invite me to get in the car?"

As she said this, she had already gone around the back of the car and reached out her hand at Xueyan.

Xueyan subconsciously grabbed her, and Shi Xiangyun climbed into the carriage with the help of her. Then she sat next to Lin Daiyu without any hesitation, took the scarf and said, "Sister is also worried, so I'll come to pick up the master."

Lin Daiyu was silent and unconsciously turned her eyes.

Seeing this, Xueyan hurriedly asked for her: "Why is Madam coming?"

Shi Xiangyun stuck out his tongue and smiled, "I just looked out in the car. I happened to see this carriage just now and just stood at Donghuamen. When I saw where we were, I hurriedly hid here again.

, so it is guessed that it should be Sister Lin."

After a pause, he said to Lin Daiyu alone: ​​"Sister, don't worry, I didn't tell anyone about you here, just said that the master had made other arrangements and forced them to let me go."

"That shouldn't be found alone!"

After looking out for a while, Zijuan, who confirmed that Shi Xiangyun had found him alone, couldn't help but remind him: "What if you guessed wrong? Wouldn't it be dangerous then?"

"Isn't this a rickshaw?"

Shi Xiangyun said without hesitation: "If you really admit your mistake, I will call a rickshaw and then meet with Sister Xing and the others."

Zijuan was disagreeing when she heard this.

I thought that this lady who never leaves the door of the family is really unaware of the dangers of the world outside. She is full of jewelry and beautiful appearance. If she is targeted by a villain, she will have no place to regret it!

Shi Xiangyun seemed to see what she was thinking, and immediately raised her hand and wrapped her arms around Lin Daiyu's waist, then put her chin on her shoulder, and laughed and said, "I also know that doing this will take some risks, but I

You can't watch your sister alone and think about everything here, right?"

This seems to be a person who treats Xueyan and Zijuan as a person, but the two maids did not care about these things at all, but instead were full of gratitude to Shi Xiangyun.

After all, no one knows the struggle of her girl just now. She is probably going to be stubborn again. If Shi Xiangyun did not arrive in time and Mr. Jiao accidentally missed it, I really don’t know what the result would be!

Lin Daiyu's delicate body trembled slightly when she heard this. She subconsciously wanted to turn her head to look at Xiangyun, but she stopped uneasy because of her ears.

But Shi Xiangyun continued, "Although I'm sorry for Sister Xing and Sister Ping'er, if the master came out of the palace and couldn't find his sister Lin, I can't explain to him - Besides, I don't want to,

Don’t leave my sister!”

"You, you..."

Lin Daiyu felt mixed feelings and wanted to say something, but she couldn't speak.

Ask yourself, if I were in Shi Xiangyun's position, would I make the same choice as her?

"alright."

At this time, Shi Xiangyun sat upright and urged repeatedly: "Let's go back to Donghua Gate to guard it quickly. Otherwise, if we were wrong with the master, wouldn't our far-distance come in vain?"
