The elder sister felt that she could not stay with Jia Lian anymore, 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 before? Maybe, I need to leave Beijing again to run errands..."
"What, how many days have you been back and you have 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 began to speak indiscriminately.
Jia Lian 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 the matter of Jiangnan Salt Administration to Sister Feng.
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, he finally reluctantly accepted it.
"Then when are you leaving?"
"His Majesty 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 make this association.
Looking at Sister Feng's somewhat aggrieved look, Jia Lian still held her in his arms and comforted her: "Why did she 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 to Your Majesty by Uncle Lin before his death. First, this is an opportunity to show off in front of His Majesty, and Uncle Lin is trying his best to support me. Secondly, Uncle Lin was also a little worried about Sister Lin going to Suzhou alone, so he asked me to take care of her. Do you understand? "
Sister Feng is not that careless person. She felt wronged before just because she felt that Jia Lian was hiding something from her.
At this time, Jia Lian explained it like this, and she was fine.
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, two concubines and wet nurses came over to congratulate her.
After finally sending the elders away, the maids such as Zijuan and Xueyan gathered around and chatted 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 can feel completely relieved now." Zijuan brought tea to Daiyu and said with a smile.
"You can tell me what I'm worried about."
"Why does the girl have to pretend to be a fool? Of course, with the status of Xiang Jun, no one will dare to look down on the girl even if she marries the Marquis in the future."
Daiyu's face turned red when she heard this, 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."
Zijuan was very good at cooperating. She bowed her head and then retreated.
Without thinking, her butt bumped into something, and when she looked back, she realized that it was Jia Lian standing behind her. Zijuan also blushed and quickly 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. Now Daiyu 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 aside.
Out of the corner of his eye, he 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 very much for today, I can't trouble you..."
"Thank you for what I did. Why did I bother you?"
Zijuan 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 also 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 be able to get this reward.
In short, she has to remember this love.
Not for the honor that Jia Lian brought her, but because of the sincerity with which Jia Lian treated her. In this way, even if I really suffer any grievances in the future, I will be able to feel better if I remember the kindness of my second brother Lian.
Daiyu knew that from the moment she agreed to marry Jia Lian, she was destined that 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.
She didn't make any mistakes, she just told Daiyu about her departure to the south in three days.
Daiyu only said that everything would be up to him.
In this way, Jia Lian sat in Daiyu's room for a while, but had nothing to say or do.
Daiyu was too shy and reserved, and at this time, Jia Lian was too embarrassed to do anything to Daiyu. After giving a few instructions, he left.
Before leaving the house, I remembered something again, "By the way, Sister Lin, when we go south, can you take your apprentice Xiang Ling with you?"
Daiyu was stunned for a moment and replied: "She is your girl. If you want her to follow me, why don't you just take it with you yourself?"
In Daiyu's view, Xiangling is 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.
But later on, as he became busier every year, he put the matter on hold. This time I am going south to the south of the Yangtze River again, so I just want to go to Jia Yu Village to see if I can find Xiang Ling's mother.
As for Xiangling's father, Zhen Shiyin, he has probably become a monk and wandered around a long time ago, so there is no need to look for him anymore.
"Is Xiangling's mother still there?"
Daiyu and Zijuan 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 Xiang Ling regret it for the rest of her life."
Daiyu was speechless after hearing this. Brother Lian is so kind-hearted and treats 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, which is inevitably 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.
