After Xing Xiuyan's family left, Jia Lian studied in the house for more than a month, and under the guidance of Huang Jiyun, Jia Lian's schoolwork can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, especially Huang Jiyun found that Jia Lian did not leave his schoolwork behind in the past half a year after returning to Beijing, and he was very satisfied.

After the begging festival, Jia Lian packed his bags and went to Jinling to prepare for reference. Originally, Daiyu begged Huang Jiyun to follow, and Huang Jiyun agreed. But who knew that before leaving, Huang Jiyun suddenly left in advance, and went directly after the words were finished, and Dai Yufang didn't say anything more.

After the two left, Daiyu's life returned to peace, and she either practiced calligraphy and painting every day, or read books and embroidery. Of course, swimming will not fall, now that more than a month has passed, Daiyu has already found the feeling of swimming in her previous life, and her body has become better and better in this month.

It wasn't until after the Mid-Autumn Festival that the golden chrysanthemum first bloomed, and Daiyu stopped swimming every day and went to the hot springs. On this day, Lin Yijia suddenly came to report that Jia Lian had been admitted to Xiucai. Daiyu rewarded the mother-in-law who took care of Jia Lian's yard at the beginning, and the whole house even rewarded her with a month's money. The top and bottom masks of the house are smiling and happy.

Daiyu is like this here, and Lin Ruhai's side is naturally no exception, but Lin Ruhai has experienced the scientific examination and passed the Tanhualang step by step, so he didn't react too much. But this is not the case with Jia Yu and others in the capital.

When Xing'er rushed back to the capital to report that Jia Lian was a talent in the examination, not to mention Jia Yu, Mrs. Xing, even Mrs. Jia was smiling like a flower. The whole house not only added new clothes, but also rewarded the monthly money. even invited the troupe to celebrate.

Only Jia Zheng's family seemed to be incompatible with this joyful atmosphere. The news of Jia Lian's examination for Xiucai reminded Jia Zheng and his family of their eldest son Jia Zhu, who died early. And Jia Zheng had even stricter requirements for Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu is the most headache of these scriptures, so she either complains of illness or hides in Mrs. Jia's house every day, and even Aunt Xue goes to less. Although Mrs. Wang also wanted Jia Baoyu to be motivated, she was afraid when she thought of Jia Zhu dying of exhaustion.

In this way, Mrs. Wang helped Baoyu to cover up a lot, and when she saw Baoyu hiding from Jia Zheng like a mouse hiding from a cat, she became more and more angry with Jia Lian in her heart! But it's not good to put it on the bright side.

Jia Yu's family didn't care about this, and the two courtyards in the east courtyard and Wutongju were rewarded fiercely. It's just that the population of Wutongju is not as large as when Jia Lian left.

Not to mention that Jia Lian took away Zhao'er and Xing'er, only to say that Xifeng's original dowry girl. Now only Ping'er, An'er and Hongxiu are left to serve with the Laiwang family. Joy and joy. After Wang Xifeng learned that she was pregnant, she was sent to Zhuangzi.

After Jia Yu rewarded up and down, he remembered to call Xing'er for questioning. But I didn't want Xing'er to see Jia Yu, not only did she lose her previous joy outside, but she was a little apprehensive. Jia Yu knew that Xing'er must have hidden something. Then he stared at Xing'er with a straight face and asked, "Don't you tell me the truth with my master now?" ”

Although Jia Lian said before leaving, he didn't let his family know, even Master Lin and Miss Lin hid it. But my own master is here. Xing'er didn't dare to hide anything. Then he said worriedly: "The master fainted when he came out of the tribute courtyard, and the little one woke up before leaving." Now I don't know how. ”

After speaking, Xing'er lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Jia Yu's face that wanted to eat people. He explained in a trembling voice: "After the master arrived in Jinling, the uncle of the Zhen family invited the master to eat and drink, and it happened that Mr. Huang also arrived that day. The master didn't go, and then he set up a table to apologize, who thought that the night the master suffered from the cold and caught a cold. ”

After hearing this, Jia Yu said angrily: "What are you doing to eat?!" Xing'er cried and said: "Mr. Huang asked the master to give up this exam and wait for the next time, but the master did not allow it." I invited a doctor to come and see it, and said that it was no big deal, but I fainted after the exam. ”

Jia Yu thought of Jia Zhu, who fainted after the exam, and panicked in his heart, so he hurriedly asked again: "What was the situation of Lian'er before you left?" Xing'er replied: "The master woke up on the second day, and he looked good in spirit." The doctor said that it was cold and suffered from the cold. ”

Xing'er thought for a while and said: "Master doesn't let the little one tell the family, that is, where is Master Lin and Miss Lin, and Zhao'er is not allowed to say it, I'm afraid that Master Lin and Miss Lin don't know it now." ”

As soon as Jia Yu heard that Xing'er had returned to the capital, and Zhao'er had gone to Lin Ruhai and Gusu, wouldn't Jia Lian be alone with him? Suddenly, his face turned blue with anger, and he roared: "Then now you will leave Lian'er alone in Jinling?!" ”

Xing'er was startled when she heard this, and thought that there was indeed no one around Jia Lian, but she didn't dare to answer like this, and said: "Now Huang Jiyun, Mr. Huang is watching the master in Jinling." "Want to come...... "What do you want to do, Xing'er doesn't dare to continue."

Xing'er secretly complained in her heart, Zhao'er, who went to Yangzhou and Gusu to report the news, estimated that there would be silver rewards in both places, but she was afraid that she would not be able to escape a board here. Who knew that Jia Yu was flustered now, but he didn't have the heart to hit his board. With a wave of his hand, he was thrown out.

When Jia Yu returned to the house, he saw Mrs. Xing discussing something with her daughter Yingchun, her daughter-in-law Xifeng, and Xing Xiuyan's face full of joy. Seeing Jia Yu come in, several people immediately stood up and saluted. Then they all excused themselves to leave. Jia Yu thought about it for a while, but said to Mrs. Xing: "Let the daughter-in-law stay for a while." ”

Xing Xiuyan and Yingchun naturally left willingly. Xing Xiuyan now lives in the same room with Yingchun, so she naturally left together, while Xifeng was left behind. Seeing that Jia Yu's face was very ugly, he guessed that something was going on, but he didn't ask, just waiting for Jia Yu to say it.

Mrs. Xing naturally saw that Jia Yu's face was ugly, and after waiting for a long time, she didn't see Jia Yu open her mouth, so she asked tentatively: "Master, what do you have to explain to me and Feng'er?" I didn't want Jia Yu to look up at Wang Xifeng, frowning and sighing, but still didn't speak.

Wang Xifeng was such a shrewd person, he immediately knew that this matter was afraid that it was related to him, so he asked: "If the master has any send, even if it is." No matter how difficult it is, the daughter-in-law always has to think of something to do it. But after listening to Wang Xifeng's confession, Jia Yu only frowned a little tighter.

Mrs. Xing couldn't help but glance at Wang Xifeng, and both of them were puzzled in their hearts. But Jia pardon doesn't say whether they live or die, and they can't either. After waiting for a long time, Mrs. Xing couldn't sit still, glanced at Jia Yu a few times, and saw that there was no anger except frowning, so she said, "If there is nothing wrong, the master will let Feng'er go back and rest." ”

Seeing that Jia Yu was still ignoring herself, Mrs. Xing raised her voice and said, "Feng'er is a double body now!" Lian'er is not here, so you have something to say, it's okay to let Feng'er rest! "This Mrs. Xing mentioned Jia Lian. Jia Yu's face changed. said that Wang Xifeng's double body was double, and he couldn't help but think of Jia Zhu at the beginning.

Thinking back and forth, Jia Yu's face not only became more and more ugly, but also a layer of cold sweat came out. Don't talk about Mrs. Xing. It was Wang Xifeng who saw him like this. I was also taken aback. Mrs. Xing asked repeatedly, "Master?" Sir, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! ”

Jia Yu couldn't make up an idea after thinking about it. In the end, he said: "Xing'er came back and said that Lian'er fainted when she came out of the examination room, and she woke up the next day." As soon as these words came out. Before Wang Xifeng could react, Mrs. Xing had already stood up with a sigh of surprise. Obviously, she also thought of Jia Zhu at the beginning!

Regarding Jia Zhu's matter, Wang Xifeng naturally knew about it. Fang Cai didn't think about it, but when he saw Mrs. Xing's face change at this moment, he immediately thought about it, and couldn't help but change his face with it. Wang Xifeng stroked his slightly bulging belly with one hand, supported the table with the other hand to prevent himself from falling, widened his eyes, and asked tremblingly: "Master!" What's going on now? ”

Jia Yu looked at Wang Xifeng with complicated eyes, especially at her stomach, and then shook his head with difficulty. In an instant, Wang Xifeng felt that the world had collapsed! The one who said to himself, "Hold the hand of the son and grow old with the son......

Mrs. Xing cried even more, and whimpered: "How can you be a good person," and turned a corner when she said this: "That's it?" It can be seen that Mrs. Xing did not dare to say that unlucky word.

Jia Yu looked at Mrs. Xing, turned his gaze to Wang Xifeng again, thought for a while, and said dryly: "Forget it, you go back and take care of your body first, don't make any more mistakes!" With that, he turned and walked away. But Wang Xifeng suddenly looked at Jia Yugang's back and said, "I'm going to Jinling!" I'm going to find him! ”

Not to mention that Jia Yu turned around in surprise, even Mrs. Xing forgot to cry at this time, and looked at Wang Xifeng with disbelief on her face. At this time, Wang Xifeng calmed down, took a deep breath and said: "Jia Lian has practiced riding and archery for many years, and his body is very strong, so he will never have an accident!" ”

When Wang Xifeng said this, a pair of phoenix eyes looked at Jia Yu more and more firmly and said, "The master will arrange for someone to send me over!" I should have gone with him. Now that he's sick, I'm going to go! After speaking, Wang Xifeng stopped, and said with certainty: "I want to go no matter what!" ”

Wang Xifeng didn't believe that Jia Lian would leave her, and she didn't want to live like Li Kun in the future! Then he said: "I don't know that I have it, no matter what, our mother and daughter have to stay by his side." After speaking, Wang Xifeng no longer looked at Jia Yu, but turned to look at Mrs. Xing and said, "Ask my mother to be fulfilled!" ”

Wang Xifeng was about to squat down and salute as he spoke, but Mrs. Xing was scared half to death! Hurriedly hugged her and said, "How can I rest assured that you will go alone?" Or ......" Mrs. Xing secretly glanced at Jia Yu and continued, "I'll go with you!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention that Wang Xifeng was stunned, even Jia Yu was angry. But Jia Yu rarely didn't get angry, only glanced at Mrs. Xing, and said to Wang Xifeng: "You go back and rest first, let me think about it." With that, he flicked his sleeves and walked out.

Wang Xifeng returned to Wutong Residence, where he lived with Jia Lian, and began to be more and more scared in his heart, and couldn't help but call Xing'er to ask. Since Xing'er had already told Jia Yu, she knew that it was useless to hide it, so she said it again carefully.

However, this time Xing'er didn't say that Jia Lian didn't go to the banquet because of Huang Jiyun's arrival, but said: "I heard that I went to Qunfangzhai to go to the banquet, so I deduced that Mr. arrived, but he didn't go, and on the third day, he set up a banquet in Huixian Building to apologize to Uncle Zhen."

Wang Xifeng was very moved after hearing this, and heard that Xing'er had returned to Beijing to report the news, and Zhao'er had gone to Yangzhou, and he was even more worried. called Hongxiu, who had followed Jia Lian to Jiangnan, to discuss going to Jiangnan.

Wang Xifeng discussed it here, and began to arrange the salute. It just so happened that Mrs. Xing came over and bumped into her, and she also knew that Wang Xifeng was determined to go, and she couldn't stop it, so she went back to discuss it with Jia Yu.

Early the next morning, when Wang Xifeng went to Mrs. Xing's room for dinner, Jia Yu said to Wang Xifeng: "Since you have made up your mind, then go ahead." Bring more people around, the old lady only said that there is no one around Lian'er, and she wrote to call you over. Nothing else, just yet. ”

Wang Xifeng nodded after hearing this, and understood that Jia Yu had already made arrangements, so he was also relieved. Seeing this, Mrs. Xing said: "Let Aunt Fei and Mama Zhao go with you then, Aunt Fei is my nurse, and her experience is naturally sufficient, Mama Zhao is also an old man by Lian'er's side, and she has also been to Gusu, so we can rest assured that she is here." ”

Wang Xifeng sounded quite reasonable, and he didn't refuse. Soon, Wang Xifeng decided on Aunt Fei, Mama Zhao, Hongxiu, An'er, and brought Jia Lian's milk brother Zhao Tianliang, and asked Qing'er and Xing'er to go first. Leaving Jia Lian to say that Long'er, who is down-to-earth, and Ping'er, who he thinks is very safe, is a housekeeper.

I thought that when I got to Jiangnan, I was afraid that I would have to meet the sister of the Lin family no matter what, and there were not many days before the sister of the Lin family took off the clothes, so I had to back up the gifts. He prepared a pair of ruby heads and a pair of jade bracelets for Daiyu, which were counted as a meeting gift and brought on his body.

On the third day of Xing'er's return to the house, Wang Xifeng had already arranged everything and was ready to leave for Jinling, although Mrs. Jia did not agree when she first heard about it, but she did not stop it, only let her be careful on the road, and invited the doctor to accompany her, so that night Xing'er and Qing'er went to Jinling first. And on the second day, Wang Xifeng also set off by boat from Tongzhou Wharf. (To be continued.) )
