Liu Xiang pulled her to no one and said: "What are you anxious about, it may not be good to follow, I got a letter from the second grandmother, and now the situation is unstable, the second aunt advised our second master not to take a long vacation at this time, so the second master has returned to his wife, the second master and the second grandmother will not follow this time, only the third girl and the fourth girl will follow the wife, and even the eldest lady will not go." ”

When Chun Tao heard this, she was surprised: "Why wouldn't the eldest lady go to such a thing?"

Liu Xiang lowered her voice and said: "It's not because of the third girl, the third girl doesn't want the mother and daughter of the West Courtyard to follow, the eldest lady and Mrs. are easy to talk about, saying that they will only let the fourth girl follow to have a long experience, she will not go, and the wife will not shirk anymore, so she has to agree." ”

Chun Tao nodded, but when she heard that Lin Jiahong didn't follow, she suddenly felt that it was actually good not to go.

On the 25th, when Lin Zhixuan took her eldest sister to Mrs. Wang's place to ask for peace, Chen and Mrs. Wang had already prepared the gift list, and there were more than ten carriages for congratulatory gifts alone.

Lin Zhixuan flipped through the thick stack of gift lists and prayer stickers, and only looked at the Jinling royal family, the ancestors of the big house, the old ladies in the second room, the third room, the fourth room, the fifth room, and the sixth room, the old ladies, the old men, and the ladies, the old men, and the ladies, the old men, and the old ladies and wives of the old ancestors' close relatives are afraid that they will also come, and there are relatives and friends who are old.

Lin Zhixuan was speechless, while listening to Mrs. Wang say to Chen: "I haven't been back for so many years, and I only remember these, and there are still some things I don't know, or there are not on this post." I also prepare more things for the good and cheap, and use them to reward the girls and ladies of each family, or to those who are close to us. It is also possible to make up the gift list. ”

Chen hurriedly nodded in response, and quipped: "It's a shame that Mrs. won't go back once in so many years, if I go back every year, our Lin family will not be hollowed out earlier." ”

Lin Zhixuan said with a smile: "Sister, what you said is bad, come and don't be rude, let's bring back ten cars, and bring back twenty cars, maybe it?"

Chen listened to Lin Zhixuan's quip. also said with a smile: "Oh, the third sister will do business." ”

Madame Wang also looked at them and smiled.

Lin Zhixuan said: "Mother, why don't you write me a list too." I carry the royal family's clansmen, otherwise I don't know what to call when I go back. ”

Mrs. Wang waved her hand and said, "That's it, writing this gift list will cost me and your sister-in-law's lives." It's to write you a list again, and you can memorize it. You may not be able to recognize who is who. Besides, I haven't been back for so many years, and all I remember are old people, and I can't remember many of them. ”

Chen and Lin Zhixuan helped Mrs. Wang to eat and put on one side, and Mrs. Wang said: "You don't have to be nervous, it's just a trip back to meet the people you should see, other people." I don't know you. After all, even if you live in this Wang family for a month, you may not recognize those people. ”

Lin Zhixuan smiled and said nothing, but remembered the time when the old lady of the Hou Mansion celebrated her sixtieth birthday. The wives and ladies who came from each family, even the ones who had been in charge of the Hou Mansion at the beginning were still incomplete, and they were busy from morning to night all day, and the wives who came were only in groups of three or five, and a few familiar people sat together to talk, and wanted to go to the door to climb the relationship with this referral to meet the above with the relationship of that family, and talk and laugh and make an appointment in the future.

Such a feast, because there are too many people coming, is no longer a reminiscence between relatives, but more of a circle of contacts. Mrs. Wang hasn't gone back for so many years, and if she can't see them, she won't blame them for being rude, after all, they are also going back as guests.

Mrs. Wang also felt that when she went back at such a lively and chaotic time, she could not only see the people she wanted to see, but also avoid those she didn't want to see.

This coincides with what Lin Zhixuan thinks in her heart.

On the night of May 27, Lin Jiahong and Chen began to personally arrange for the mother-in-law and maid at home to count and load the gift boxes into the car, and the maids in each room also counted the niches of their masters overnight and loaded them into the car.

The Chen family asked the subordinates to be light-footed, not to alarm Mrs. Wang and the others to sleep, so that they could raise their spirits and go on the road tomorrow.

Lin Zhixuan coaxed her eldest sister to sleep very well, and Mrs. Wang carefully prepared the gifts between their sisters, but Lin Zhixuan didn't have many things to prepare, Gu's mother had made it a few days in advance for Lin Zhixuan to see, and asked about the omission.

The mother and daughter in the West Courtyard stayed awake all night, and Mrs. Liu repeatedly instructed Lin Yaxuan not to be the same as on the day in the Liang family, and to be respectful and courteous, and follow Lin Zhixuan closely.

After all, in Jinling, they are all newcomers, no one knows their past, they are all starting anew, Lin Yaxuan's reputation in Hangzhou is not good, Mrs. Liu has long thought about it, even if she goes to Mrs. Qi's birthday banquet, she may not be able to find a good person, and Jinling is another opportunity for Lin Yaxuan.

Lin Yaxuan listened to her mother's words and nodded her head one by one, she knew the importance of this trip better than Mrs. Liu.

Early in the morning of the 28th day, Lin Zhixuan and Mrs. Wang, Lin Yaxuan, and Mrs. Liu had dinner in Bi Chuntang, Lin Jiahong counted the carriage equipment again, everything was complete, and Chen had arranged for the accompanying mother-in-law and maids to eat first, get into the carriage, and let the big maid prepare all kinds of food and pastries on the master's carriage.

Dongmei and Chang Yuan's family came over to accompany Lin Zhixuan and Sister Xin to eat at Mrs. Wang's place, Qiu Ju, Gu's mother and grand's mother all had an early meal, went to the carriage outside, counted Lin Zhixuan and the eldest sister's box niche again, and then carefully thought about what else was not taken.

Lin Jiahong had already said goodbye to Mrs. Wang in Bichun Hall, and repeatedly told Wang Fuquan, the chief housekeeper of the Lin family, several times that he must walk slower on the road, thinking about the bodies of Mrs. Wang and the girls.

Wang Fuquan responded one by one, and at the beginning of the hour, the carriage left Hangzhou and began to set off for Jinling, taking the road from Deqing County, Huzhou, Changxing County, Yixing, Liyang, Lishui, Jiangning, Qinhuai to Nanjing.

Because the journey was really tiring and the days were not tight, Wang Fuquan let the people who drove the carriage go very slowly, and they walked for a total of five days, and stayed on the road for four nights, respectively in Huzhou, Yixing, Liyang and Qinhuai's official posts.

Lin Zhixuan and Lin Yaxuan wore plain gauze hats when they got on and off the carriage, and Dongmei and Sister Xin couldn't help but secretly lift the curtain to look out, looking at the mountains and rivers and the pedestrians coming and going in the town, their faces were full of joy, Qiu Ju persuaded them to be unruly, but they couldn't help but secretly watch with them.

Lin Zhixuan pretended not to see it, and she didn't restrain them too much, after all, it was difficult to come out, and Lin Zhixuan knew that they were all happy.

On the afternoon of the second day of June, Lin Zhixuan and his party finally entered Jinling City. (To be continued.) )
