Chapter 020: Ancestral Industry

The little Ruoling was amazed, and even the second master was surprised when he saw it this time.

Zhu Shiyuan just cut the paper figure to coax him, and it was a joke. I never thought that this evening, the rain that had been falling for several days in a row was really getting smaller, and when the lights were held everywhere, there was no rain falling in the sky, only the rain that had accumulated on the eaves earlier was dripping down, and after a while, a small spring was collected on the ground.

The breeze blew and snaked away.

After nightfall, the spring rain is over.

The night was dark and dreary, but it was two minutes clearer than the gray sky in the daytime.

The moonlight is faintly visible, bent and round, thin and delicate.

"Sweeping Qing Niang" stuck on the window and looked at the night quietly.

After Ruosheng turned off the lights and fell asleep, it was rare to have a good night's sleep. Since she woke up in the Wood Rhino Garden a few days ago, she hadn't slept well in all this time. Knowing that she is in the middle of the night, as long as she closes her eyes, she will have nightmares, and it is common to wake up sweating in the middle of the night. But tonight, she slept well.

There are dreams, but they are also sweet dreams.

At the third watch, Lu Jiao got up lightly, came in to fold the quilt for her, and saw that she was smiling as soon as she lowered her head. Sleep quietly with his eyes closed, his body stretched and relaxed, his brows never furrowed, and the corners of his lips hung a faint smile.

The next morning, Ruosheng also got up two minutes later than usual.

When she opened her eyes, it was already bright outside the window.

The spring sky is blue because it is clear. The broken gold-like sunlight shines on the glazed tiles, flowing in all colors, like a magnificent picture. The plants and trees in the garden are gradually revived, and the green shoots that should be sprouted are the green shoots that should be drawn, and the strips that should be drawn are a vibrant scene.

She was busy getting up to wash, and her father in Mingyue Hall also missed the taste of roast chicken with lotus leaves yesterday, and slowly got up from the bed.

Pushing open the door and looking at the sky, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, so he put on his shoes and hurriedly ran to say to Zhu, "Sweeping Qingniang" is true!

Yesterday it was still raining heavily, and the sky was clear in a blink of an eye.

Even the second master thinks that this little paper figure is a god, and even with the Zhu family, he is as powerful as a god in his eyes. By the time Ruo Sheng came to Mingyue Hall to have breakfast with them, he had stared at Zhu for a long time, and he saw that Zhu's face was flushed and uncomfortable.

Ruosheng couldn't help but be embarrassed for the Zhu family when he saw it, how could he look at people so directly?

She pretended to tug at her father's sleeve inadvertently, and said with a smile: "It's February in a blink of an eye, and the pu vegetables that want to come to Huaicheng are all sharp and can be eaten......

Even the second master was stunned for a moment, turned his head and asked, "Delicious?" ”

"Not really!" Ruosheng looked at him with a smile, "I took fresh pu vegetables and made soup, and the soup was so fresh that people even had to swallow their tongues." The taste is like tender bamboo shoots, but it is not the taste of bamboo shoots, it is fragrant and sweet, tender and refreshing, and crispy. ”

A spoonful of crispy pu cabbage is tender, and the plate is full of fresh carp fragrance.

How can it not be delicious?

Lian Erye was greedy: "I have to go and let the kitchen prepare this dish!" ”

Ruosheng dragged him and said, "This will not be edible." ”

"You just said that in February, you should be able to eat the cabbage?" Second Master Lian frowned and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Ruosheng held back a smile: "Huaicheng only has it, far away!" ”

And after a while, this pu cabbage should be old. The more tender things are, the harder they are to find. They are in the capital, and it is not easy to eat.

Lian Erye's brows furrowed tighter, and then he suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, let people hurry up and send it up!" ”

The Dayin Dynasty has a lot of water, the capital is built according to the water, and a huge canal has already been dug up, from north to south, a pass to the end, which greatly shortens the distance between several places. Caoyun has always been very prosperous in Dayin, and the Lian family has been in charge of the waterway of Dayin and half of Taiban for generations.

However, before the second master of the Lian family, no one became an official. Therefore, the Lian family controls the waterway transportation, which is equivalent to opposing the imperial court on the surface, and has always been in an embarrassing position of half-black and white.

For many years, the imperial court has been obsessed with this matter, but it is not easy to uproot this force and move the whole body.

There are many waterways and many waterways, so naturally there are many water thieves and bandits. As big as some coastal gangs, as small as scattered lonely boat rats, there are so many of them. The Lian family is the most powerful one here, and once the Lian family is gone, the original peace will be broken in an instant.

Therefore, the imperial court did not dare to act rashly.

And although the ancestors of the Lian family were born in the rivers and lakes, by the time of Ruosheng's great-grandfather's generation, they were very different from those idle gangs.

Lianjia has become a local snake and a strong dragon, and the rules on the waterway are gradually decided by Lianjia.

Within two years, there were fewer and fewer bandits who dared to act under the nose of the Lian family.

The waterways that extend in all directions have a rare tranquility.

Even the then governor of Caoyun, when it comes to the Lian family, has to say that it is indispensable.

At that time, the head of the Lian family was Ruosheng's great-grandfather Lian Mao.

He has means and scheming, is sophisticated and sleek, but he is also righteous, and he is a very powerful character. There are countless people who have received his favor in those years.

So under his leadership, the Lian family was washed from black to dust.

So later, the imperial court didn't think about how to clean up the family, turned a blind eye, and the two parties barely regarded the well water as not the river water, and coexisted peacefully.

Later, Ruosheng's grandfather led the Lian family to move to the capital, and the original layer of skin was changed.

When Emperor Jialong ascended the throne, Mrs. Yun Zhen was in power, and several of Ruosheng's uncles also grew up and married girls from powerful families in the capital.

Today's even the family is also an upstart with a clean net.

Today, at least more than half of the ships coming from the south to the north belong to the Lian family.

On the cao ship transported to Beijing, there are precious porcelain produced by famous kilns in various places, and there are fresh melons and fruits that are rare in the local area...... There is also a boatload of salt that Zhengda Guangming has received...... Rice, coins......

Yes, the wealth of the family can be imagined.

Even the second master, who has never been in charge of things, knows that if he wants to eat a mouthful of pu vegetable soup, let people hurry up and send it from Huaicheng. Even if it's not fresh enough, at least it can't be broken.

He had already thought about it properly for a while, and turned his head to find someone to pass the word.

Ruosheng lost his smile, and hurriedly let him have breakfast before going.

Only then did he sit down and eat his favorite jade siu mai. The thin skin of the ruffle is wrapped in a vegetarian stuffed side dish, and the mouth is decorated with ham and minc, the shape of a pomegranate, and the body is as green as jade, which is quite close to the eyes of the second master. The taste is also good, delicious and delicious, and the taste is refreshing.

Even the second master used two, and he didn't forget to mention the chopsticks and personally put one into the plate for Ruosheng and Zhu.

After eating, because the weather was fine, even the second master ordered the food again, so he thought about going to the flower room to take a few birds he raised out to bask in the sun and walk.

But after only two steps, he stopped, and Baba asked, "Who is with me?" ”

Mama Jin, who was following him, was stunned and replied, "The slave and maid will go with you." ”

He opened his mouth, and seemed to feel slightly embarrassed to say something, so he didn't say anything again, and only took small steps to move forward.

Ruosheng suddenly understood, so he quietly pulled Zhu's sleeve and said softly, "I want you to go with you." ”

Zhu Shi said softly, "Ahh After that, he thanked Ruosheng, hurriedly chased after him, walked to the side and called the second master, and said, "The concubine will accompany you." ”

Even the second master curled the corners of his mouth and laughed.

Walking far, Ruosheng can still hear him saying "Sweeping Qing Niang" or something.

She couldn't help laughing, and walked in reverse.

The few people in Qianzhong Garden, she can't see the clues at the moment, all she can hear is where they were brought back by her aunt, as for the side, it is not easy to dig deeper. One is that she is only a half-grown child, and she has never interfered in household affairs; Second, she had no one under her hands, and it was difficult to move an inch, so she didn't run directly to her aunt and pointed at Yuyin and said that they would harm the Lian family in the future and couldn't stay.

She rubbed her face, sighed and lowered her head.

After a moment of contemplation, she turned her head to look behind her.

The green banana followed in unison, and smiled slightly when he saw her looking at him.

If you are born, you will be happy again.

-- There's always a way.

She whispered to herself in her heart.

*****

Shaoqing entered the Sanfang realm, and the third uncle sent someone to wait for her at the door, so she didn't let the green banana follow in.

In her previous life, she always ran to the fourth room, but the third room rarely came.

The third uncle is a concubine, and her father is not born to the same mother, so he is not as close as the fourth uncle.

In addition, the third uncle has a quiet temperament and few words, and the only girl in the third room, Wan Qingxing, is also with her father, and if she is alive, she will not like to deal with her in her previous life.

In fact, she is far less familiar with the third uncle than she is with the fourth uncle.

followed the person into the back room, and she first saw the little girl standing at the door, about ten years old, combing her braids, wearing a beaded flower on her head, and her appearance was very pure. When he saw her approaching, he reached for the curtain. Ruosheng glanced at her and walked inside, but found that the little girl also walked in, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

When did the fourth uncle use a girl of this age?

She didn't realize that she looked at it twice.

The other party tugged at the hem of his clothes when he saw it, lowered his head and said softly: "Third sister, is there anything dirty on my face?" ”

Wakasheng: "......"

It turned out to be four cousins......
