The elder sister felt that she could no longer stay with Jia Lian, otherwise if the Lin family saw her and Jia Lian's "indecent behavior", they would lose the face of the Marquis and his wife.
Just as she was about to go back, Jia Lian said to her: "Didn't you ask His Majesty why he asked me to come to the palace? Maybe, I need to leave Beijing again to run errands..."
"What, you just came back a few days ago and you left the capital again? There is no one in the court anymore. Why is the emperor only looking after you?!"
Wang Xifeng suddenly heard that Jia Lian was out of the capital for business again, and immediately became anxious and started talking indiscriminately.
Jia Lian then pulled her closer, held her face, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, there is no danger this time. I just went to Jiangnan to supervise something for the court. I will come back when it is done."
With that said, he briefly explained to Sister Feng the affairs of Jiangnan Salt Administration.
Sister Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that they were not sending troops. After being comforted by Jia Lian for a long time, she finally reluctantly accepted it.
"Then when will you leave?"
"His Majesty has ordered us to set off south in three days."
Sister Feng thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "I just heard that the Lin family is escorting my aunt's coffin to Suzhou for burial, and you happen to be going to Jiangnan...
Tell me honestly, did you take the initiative to ask the emperor for an order to go to Jiangnan in order to help Miss Lin deliver my aunt's coffin back to Suzhou?"
Jia Lian didn't expect Sister Feng to ask this, but considering Sister Feng's shrewdness, it wasn't surprising that she would have such an association.
Looking at Sister Feng's somewhat aggrieved look, Jia Lian still held her in his arms and comforted her: "How did you become as sensitive as Sister Lin? I won't lie to you, although I didn't ask for this job, but
Pretty much the same.
This is me who was recommended by Uncle Lin to Your Majesty before his death. Firstly, this is an opportunity to perform in front of Your Majesty, and Uncle Lin is trying his best to support me. Secondly, Uncle Lin is also a little worried about Sister Lin going down alone.
Suzhou, so let me take care of you, do you understand?"
Sister Feng is not that careless person. She felt wronged before just because she felt that Jia Lian was hiding it from her.
At this time, Jia Lian explained it like this, and it was nothing to her.
Jia Lian is the emperor's servant. It is an honor to be able to help the emperor, and it is also the source of Jia Lian's wealth. Of course she will not stop him.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone coming from the corridor opposite. Sister Feng hurriedly got out of Jia Lian's arms and said with a blush, "Then you go home early today. I have something to say to you. I've been here for half a day, too.
Let’s go back first.”
"Well, be careful on the road."
…
After Daiyu returned to the house, her two concubines and wet nurse came over to congratulate her.
After finally sending the elders away, the maids such as Zijuan and Xueyan gathered around and chattered non-stop.
Finally she got a little annoyed and said she was tired, so she asked the little girls to go down.
"Young lady, you are completely relieved now." Zijuan brought tea to Daiyu and said with a smile.
"You can tell me what I'm worried about."
"Why should the girl pretend to be confused? Of course, with the status of the country king, no one will dare to look down on the girl even if she marries the marquis in the future."
Hearing this, Daiyu's face turned red and she forced her words: "Girl, if you dare to talk nonsense again, you should go out and stop being in my way."
"Yes, yes, I will obey Lord Lin Xiang's order."
Most of the Rhododendrons will cooperate, bowing their heads and then retreating.
Without thinking, her butt bumped into something, and when she looked back, she realized that it was Jia Lian standing behind her. Zicuckoo also blushed, and hurriedly bowed and stepped aside.
"What kind of cross talk are you two girls doing?"
Jia Lian walked to Daiyu's bed and sat on the edge of the bed. Daiyu now saw that although Jia Lian no longer hid under the quilt, she did not dare to get too close to Jia Lian. When she saw him coming, she hurriedly sat next to her.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Jia Lian, who kept staring at her. Daiyu was embarrassed and hurriedly looked for a topic to talk about: "Thank you so much for today, I can't trouble you..."
"Thank you for what you have done. Why have I ever bothered?"
Zicuckoo took the opportunity to smile and said: "What our girl is talking about is that the village monarch invited by the second master for her was given a title."
"I'm afraid of this. Although I really want Mr. Lin Xiangjun to accept my love, unfortunately, this matter really has little to do with me. The main thing is that my uncle has made great contributions to the country so that he can be kind to my sister."
Daiyu glanced at Jia Lian. Even so, if it weren't for Jia Lian, I'm afraid she wouldn't get this reward.
In short, she has to remember this feeling.
It's not for the honor that Jia Lian brought her, but for the sincerity with which Jia Lian treated her. In this way, even if she does suffer any grievances in the future, she will be able to feel better if she remembers the kindness of her second brother Lian.
Daiyu had known that from the moment she agreed to marry Jia Lian, the rest of her life would not be smooth sailing.
But for Jia Lian, she is not afraid.
Facing Daiyu's gaze at this moment, Jia Lian felt a surge of satisfaction in his heart.
I didn't make any mistakes, I just told Daiyu about setting off south in three days.
Daiyu only said that everything would be at his discretion.
In this way, Jia Lian sat in Daiyu's room for a while, but had nothing to say or do.
Daiyu was really too shy and reserved, and at this time, Jia Lian was too embarrassed to do anything to Daiyu. He said a few words and left.
Before leaving the house, I remembered something again, "By the way, Sister Lin, when we go south, can you bring your apprentice Xiang Ling with you?"
Daiyu was slightly stunned and replied: "She is your girl. Why do you want her to follow me? You can just take it with you yourself?"
In Daiyu's view, Xiangling was Jia Lian's maid. It was normal for Jia Lian to ask Xiang Ling to follow him to serve him, but why bother her.
"I didn't take her south for any other reason. I just got some information about her mother from others, so I wanted to see if I could find Xiang Ling's mother this time and let her mother and daughter Reunion.”
As early as when Jia Lian got Xiang Ling, he promised to help her find her relatives if she had the opportunity in the future.
However, as he became busier every year, he put the matter on hold. This time he was going south to the south of the Yangtze River again, so he happened to go to Jia Yu Village to see if he could find Xiang Ling's mother.
As for Xiangling's father, Zhen Shiyin, he probably became a monk and traveled around long ago, so there is no need to look for him anymore.
"Is Xiangling's mother still there?"
Daiyu and Zicuckoo next to her were both a little surprised.
Naturally, they all knew that Xiang Ling was abducted by a kidnapper since she was a child and was a very pitiful person.
"It should be there. But I'm not sure, but as long as there is a chance, I have to give it a try, lest Xiangling regret it for the rest of her life."
Daiyu was speechless after hearing this. Brother Lian was so kind-hearted and treated the girls around him so well.
If it were any other family, no matter how good they were to Xiang Ling, they wouldn't want to help Xiang Ling find her mother.
"Even so, you can take her with you yourself."
Daiyu pursed her lips, wondering if it was because Jia Lian was too kind to Xiang Ling, which was a bit off-putting.
Jia Lian smiled and touched Daiyu's bun, and said with a smile: "I am going south this time, and I have the emperor's mission with me, so I may need to travel around several prefectures in Jinling. Xiangling follows me, and it will inevitably be inconvenient sometimes, but still
It's better to follow you.
Why, sister Lin is not willing to help with this?"
"Oh well."
Daiyu, who had not escaped Jia Lian's head touch, had no time to think. After hearing what Jia Lian said made sense, she quickly nodded in agreement.
