Someone passed by from behind and mentioned it.

That sedan chair was from Rongguo Province.

The two sedan chairs at the back,

It was from a certain lord's residence.

This lord was a favorite of the Emperor, and no one dared to underestimate him.

No one knew who these sedan chairs were here to pick up.

The others were envious for a while and left.

Not long after,

A boat docked.

A few old women walked out,

The servant woman standing beside the sedan chair of the Rongguo Mansion immediately moved and went to greet them.

Then, two young girls came out of the boat. They were not old, and their facial features had not grown up yet, giving off a childish air.

One of them was wearing a light yellow dress and had her hair combed into a cloud bun. She did not have any other hairpins or accessories on her body. She was clean and snow-white, and was especially eye-catching.

Beside her was a little girl. Although she was also pretty,

She could not be compared to her. At a glance, one could tell that she was a little maidservant.

The two people who came down..,

Were Daiyu and Xue Yan.

Daiyu clenched the handkerchief in her hand,

Her gaze did not randomly look around.

She had long heard of the prosperity of the capital,

If she wantonly looked around, she would embarrass the Gusu Lin family,

She was afraid that she would be ridiculed by others.

Xue Yan was much more nervous,

She was close to Daiyu,

The hand that was supporting Daiyu began to tremble slightly.

When the servant who came up saw this, she immediately looked down on this little girl in her heart.

A hint of laziness appeared on her face.

Xue Yan's heart tightened, and she became even more panicked.

Daiyu, on the other hand, was calmer at this moment. She glanced at the servant. Her gaze was clear and clear, and it made the servant tremble. She hurriedly did not dare to look at her again. She lowered her head slightly and was about to invite Daiyu into the sedan chair.

At this moment, Daiyu realized that there were other sedan chairs on the shore. They seemed to be from noble families.

In front of the sedan chair, there was an older man standing. That man was actually looking over.

Daiyu was shocked. He frowned and turned his gaze back.

However, Xue Yan's body suddenly trembled. She pulled Daiyu's sleeve and said timidly, "Miss, that, that is the one who came to Gusu City to look for me … my, my father."

"Don't be afraid. You will see him again in the future. Perhaps he knew that you were here today and waited here to take a look at you." Daiyu said in a low voice.

The maidservant at the side craned her neck, wanting to hear what they were talking about.

Suddenly, a cold gaze fell on them. The maidservants relied on their master's eyes to survive, so they were naturally very sensitive. They were startled and turned their heads to look in horror.

— — it was the palanquin that had been parked at the side.

The curtains of one of the palanquins were lifted, and a young man was sitting inside, looking at them. His gaze was cold and intimidating, causing them to be extremely afraid.

The maidservants all trembled and didn't dare to look at her casually.

They were only third-class maidservants of Rongguo Province. They looked impressive, but in front of nobles, they were even less than grass on the ground. They should be more careful.

Daiyu had already been helped into the palanquin. Xue Yan followed beside her.

The servants didn't dare to stay any longer. They hurriedly shouted, "Raise the palanquin."

Several young and strong palanquin bearers carried the palanquin into the crowd.

At this time, Daiyu seemed to have sensed something. She unconsciously lifted the curtains of the palanquin and looked back.

That was strange.

She wasn't interested in the bustling scene around her, but she was interested in the two palanquins.

Were those two palanquins still waiting for someone?

… …

He Shen watched as the people from Rongguo Province walked away. His gaze didn't shift at all.

Steward Liu was a bit confused.

He had been brought here early in the morning. The young master said that he wanted to pick someone up.

When the Xue Yan came down, Steward Liu understood.

He wanted to pick up the Xue Yan and her master!

But then, Steward Liu saw the Xue Yan and the little girl she was supporting walk into the palanquin from Rongguo Province.

The young master didn't say a word … …

Steward Liu was anxious. "Young master, aren't we here to pick up that girl?"

"Yes."

"But this person … … has already left." Steward Liu said dryly.

"She wants to go to her maternal grandfather's house. How can I stop her?" He Shen said calmly, "I just took a look from afar. Nothing happened. I was relieved."

Steward Liu was slightly dumbfounded.

This wasn't the young master's style.

Until the people from Rongguo Province were completely out of sight.

He Shen then said, "Let's go back."

Steward Liu could only nod and immediately ordered the palanquin to set off.

The palanquin shuttled through the bustling streets. He Shen lifted the curtain and looked outside.

Did Daiyu also look all the way from the palanquin in Rongguo Province?

She only brought the Xue Yan with her. The Xue Yan was too timid and didn't know anything. She didn't even have half a person to rely on. Would she feel afraid and have no one to rely on?

He Shen couldn't help but think of the original text of The Dream of the Red Chamber.

Daiyu's mind was too clear and meticulous. When she abandoned the boat and went ashore and saw the servant girl from Rongguo Province coming to pick her up, she already had a cautious mind.

It was precisely because of this consideration and caution that Daiyu didn't have a happy time in Rongguo Province.

It was rare for her to have a Jia Baoyu who didn't conform to etiquette. It allowed her to have a moment of relaxation and indulgence. But the Jia Baoyu was useless.

He Shen furrowed his brows when he thought of this.

Before he saw Daiyu again, he was 50% worried. But now, he was 100% worried.

Daiyu had grown up a lot.

The last time he saw her, she was only six years old.

But now, she had grown a lot. The light yellow dress on her body faintly made her look like a young lady.

Her eyebrows had also grown a little.

It was just like what was written in the book.

Although her body and face were timid, there was a natural romantic attitude.

Two curved eyebrows that seemed to be frowning, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be happy but not happy.

She was worried about two dimples, and she was sick all over.

Her eyes were watery, and she was panting slightly.

She was as quiet as a beautiful flower shining on the water, and her movements were as weak as a willow branch swaying in the wind.

The heart has one more orifice than the body, and the sickly Xue Zi wins by three points.

No wonder it was said that she was the reincarnation of the Jiang Zhu Fairy.

He Shen also felt that if there was a fairy in heaven, she should look like Daiyu.

"Young Master, are we going straight back to the house?" Steward Liu asked in a low voice outside the palanquin.

"Yes."

He Shen was also impulsive.

Since he received the confirmation, he had ordered people to pay attention to the wharf.

After confirming the date of Daiyu's arrival, he specially asked for leave. He personally brought a palanquin and waited at the shore.

He Shen suddenly remembered when the people from Rongguo Province arrived.

No matter how much he wanted to take care of Daiyu, and how much he wanted to bring Daiyu to the house and take care of her carefully.

He had no relationship with Daiyu.

But the people of Rongguo Province were Daiyu's maternal grandparents' home.

In terms of etiquette, Daiyu should go to her maternal grandparents' home first.

But once she went, how could they meet again in the future?

He Shen felt like his heart was thrown into a frying pan. It was tossed and turned, and no matter how he put it, it was very uncomfortable.

She would suffer, and she would suffer.

Rongguo Province was not a good place.

He Shen closed his eyes.

What should he do?

He Shen went through the relationships in Rongguo Province in his mind.

He had never had any contact with Rongguo Province, but he was afraid that he would have to do so from now on.

Qianlong did not like Rong Mansion and Ning Mansion. It was because these two mansions were getting more and more ridiculous. Even the servants in these mansions felt superior to others when they walked out.

Qianlong was a narrow-minded person. He did not like anyone who surpassed him.

The servants of Rong Mansion and Ning Mansion were so presumptuous. How could Qianlong not be suspicious?

If He Shen wanted to have any contact with Rongguo Province, he had to go through Qianlong's eyes. He had to do it openly and with a good excuse.

This was not difficult for He Shen.

He had spent so much effort to subtly influence Qianlong and make him believe that he was working for Qianlong wholeheartedly, no matter whether it was good or bad, troublesome, easy, dirty, or smelly …

At such a time, if He Shen approached Rongguo Province for Qianlong, he would only gain favor in front of Qianlong. He would not be suspected if he wanted to make friends with Rongguo Province and get on the same boat as Rongguo Province.

He Shen quickly carried out his decision after he made it in his mind.

As expected, Qianlong praised He Shen.

Qianlong did not like Rong Mansion and Ning Mansion, but he did not have many trusted officials.

Most of the powerful officials in the imperial court had connections with various parties. How could he use them at will?

He Shen was the only one who had parents who died early. He only had some stepmothers.

No one could make decisions for He Shen, and He Shen's teacher was not eye-catching. There was no nepotism involved.

It was really to his liking.

Qianlong happily handed this matter to He Shen.

Out of love, Qianlong also reminded him, "You don't have to worry about this all the time. If you gain something, it's a good thing.

But if you don't gain anything, it's not a big deal. "

Qianlong's tone became more amiable towards the end, "It's good that you can work for me with peace of mind."

After that day, He Shen was promoted again.

Qianlong promoted him to an imperial bodyguard and made him the deputy commander of the Plain Blue Banner.

He was really the Emperor's man!

Let's talk about this side.

Daiyu held the old woman's hand and entered the Flower Gate. They passed through the corridor, turned around the red sandalwood shelf and the marble screen, passed through three halls, and came to the front of the courtyard of the main building.

A few maidservants dressed in red and green stood up on the stone platform.

"Old Madam was just talking about it. What a coincidence that you came." As they spoke, they opened the curtain.

Daiyu walked in. Before she could greet them, Mother Jia pulled her into her arms. After crying for a while, she was led to see her aunts, cousins, sisters-in-law …

Then she went to her eldest uncle and second uncle's courtyard to greet them.

Her uncles were not there. Only her aunts, Lady Xing and Lady Wang, spoke to her for a while.

Then she heard Lady Wang talk about her cousin who was born with a jade in his mouth.

Daiyu had heard her mother talk about this cousin before, but she did not have much of an impression of him.
