After Jia Qiang said goodbye to the old people who were dizzy and mistaken about human nature, when she returned to Li Fuhou's house, she saw Xiangling, Xiao Jixiang, Xiao Jiao'er and the twelve officials happily talking about what they had seen on the island.

After seeing Jia Qiang's arrival, he chattered around, Fang Guan rushed to sue first, and Xiaojiaoer did something bad.

Jia Qiang looked over and saw Xiao Jiao'er with her hands behind her back, looking ashamed and shy, but she couldn't see the meaning of wanting to repent......

Jia Qiang asked, "What bad things did you do?" ”

Fang Guan was about to speak, Xiangling gently pushed, Fang Guan retreated, hid beside Qingwen and glared, Xiao Jiao'er took out the thing behind him in shame, it was a bird egg.

Jia Qiang nodded, like these people did something, but ......

"This is a wild duck egg, and the eggs laid at this time don't hatch ducklings, because it's too cold outside."

Xiangling smiled and said, "I know, I know, but Xiaojiao'er is going to put this egg in the quilt and treat it as hers, and then hatch a duckling!" ”

Xiao Jiao'er lowered her head and drew circles on the ground with her small embroidered shoes stained with mud, but she didn't say that she would hand over the duck eggs, obviously unwilling to give up being a duck mother.

Li Jing, Keqing, Aunt Sun and others all laughed, and Jia Qiang smiled: "Okay, it's up to you." ”

Who hasn't been young and innocent......

After letting this group of lively people go to the side to play naughtily, Jia Qiang asked Keqing: "Did you tell Xiaojing?" ”

Ke Qing looked at Jia Qiang with a pair of dark eyes, shook her head slightly, and said with a smile: "You must always ask Miss Lin first." ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "How could Sister Lin not agree?" ”

Keqing hesitated again, and said with some embarrassment: "I thought about it again, but I still didn't stay." There are so many people in the family, and I am the only one who has many things, which is not good. ”

Moreover, as time passed, seeing that it was about to be time to part, Keqing found that she was so flustered.

It turned out that she couldn't part lightly, and she overestimated herself before......

Li Jing saw the clue on the side, and said with a smile: "Stay in Yangzhou? What do you want to do here, the weather is cold and gloomy, if you are not there, you can't go out, you can only hide in the house. After I give birth, I guess I will have to confinement on the ship, and I will be done when I get home. ”

Ke Qing was startled when she heard this, and said: "This is not sloppy...... " After thinking about it, she had not given birth yet, her face was a little red, and she persuaded: "I heard Lao Cheng Mama say that it is extremely important for a woman to give birth to a child and go to confinement. ”

Li Jing smiled: "It's not so expensive, besides, I can't see the wind." The carriage was pulled into the house, and the carriage was loaded directly from the house, and then boarded the boat. ”

He said to Jia Qiang again: "When the time comes, Daddy wants to go back with us." He said that his days were running out and he wanted to go back to the capital. Look, ......."

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "I see that he can live another one or two decades, and people who have been sick for a long time can live a long life." ”

Li Jing hurriedly said: "Master, the original batch of manpower is now properly placed." There is a Qi family here in Yangzhou, and it is useless for my father and aunt Sun to stay here......"

Jia Qiang waved her hand and smiled: "I'm not saying that they can't go back, of course it's good if they are willing to go back to Beijing, this is nothing." ”

Seeing Li Jing so nervous, Ke Qing smiled: "Xiaojing must have been reluctant to have children, she knew that she was unreliable, how could she leave her children alone in Yangzhou and return to Beijing as a mother?" It can be seen that we have begun to wake up now. ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Cheng, go back and go back, and be his Jinsha gang leader." ”

This woman is really fickle, and an idea for a while......

However, he also did not want to leave his first child thousands of miles away from birth.

Aunt Sun didn't interject all the time, and said with a smile: "What else should you be?" Now that I'm old, and my body and bones are like this again, it's time to rest. After returning to Beijing, we didn't do anything, just take the children with us! ”

As he spoke, he also peeked at Jia Qiang. She couldn't believe it at this moment that Jia Qiang would let her eldest son be surnamed Li.

Although on the rivers and lakes, she is clearly a flea on the drum, and secretly a thousand-armed Guanyin, and she is alone in the world, but she has little confidence in this matter.

If it weren't for Li Fu's insistence on returning to her roots, she would have persuaded Li Fu to stay in Jiangnan, and she would have a better grasp of this matter.

Jia Qiang didn't explain anything, and after eating, Li Jing and Xue Ming's family sent Jia Qiang and the others on the boat and returned to Yangzhou City as a farewell.

Seeing Li Jing crying on the dock, and beckoning again and again, Jia Qiang felt a little sad in her heart.

This farewell, when we met again, she was already a mother, and he was going to be a father.

It's not even eighteen......

This complex mood is really hard to say.

When he returned to the yamen of the former salt courtyard, as soon as he entered the door, Jia Qiang felt that the atmosphere was wrong.

Along the way, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had strange eyes, and even Keqing and Qingwen felt it.

Ke Qing grabbed Qingwen, who was being seen, and persuaded with a smile: "With Aunt Lin here, what are you afraid of?" ”

Qingwen gritted her teeth and said: "This group of mothers-in-law is the most hateful, and if you look at people's eyes with yin and yang, you should clean it up." In front of the master, they dare to do this......"

Ke Qing said with a smile: "You have a charcoal temperament, you will suffer sooner or later." This is Aunt Lin's family, and there must be a reason why these people look at it like this. As soon as you get angry, you are indebted in the first place. Aunt Lin has a good temperament and doesn't care about you, but in the eyes of others, haven't you become a high-flying person? This reputation is remarkable. ”

Xiangling nodded again and again on the side and said, "What Grandma said is that I persuaded her to come like this." But Qingwen is not smart and can't understand ......"

Qingwen had just gotten down, and she was ignited again and began to chase and kill Xiangling.

Jia Qiang didn't pay attention to the stubbornness of the girls, and went straight into the upper room.

As soon as one leg stepped in, Jia Qiang knew why the atmosphere at home was weird today......

I saw that there were nine young women standing in the hall who looked like flowers and jade, so that people could know that they were Jiangnan people at a glance.

Ring fat swallow thin, fair lady, beautiful and dignified, glamorous peach and plum, flowers and branches, slim and elegant, nephrite warm fragrance, Chu Chu moving, bright eyes and bright teeth......

In short, the words to describe beauty in this world can be found in these nine people.

Looking at their demeanor, they are all the most standard beauties, and they are not bad in the slightest.

Even the smile is average, and the shallow smile is not toothy......

In contrast, look at Qingwen, who has a violent temperament, and Xiangling, who is delicate and naughty, and Xiaojiao, who wants to be the mother of wild ducks......

The contrast is stark!

When the women saw Jia Qiang coming in, they also had eyesight, and they all bent their knees and said crisply: "Please Hou Ye'an!" ”

Hiss!

Jia Qiang gasped in her heart, but her face was not obvious, she looked at Daiyu who was sitting on it with a puzzled face, and said strangely: "These are ......"

Daiyu smiled and said nothing, but the straightforward Xiangyun complained: "Brother Qiang, you have also been a little too late, why do you raise so many girls at home......"

was pulled by Tanchun before he stopped.

Jia Qiang looked at Daiyu and then at the others, Sister Feng was the most happy, and said: "Qiang'er is Qiang'er, I'll just say, the most famous in Yangzhou, isn't it this Laoshizi thin horse?" Why don't those people give you some good horses? ”

"Grandma!"

Ping'er is kind-hearted, and she can't see Sister Feng saying this in front of the girl.

Sure enough, some girls have begun to cry and sob.

Tanchun and Xiangyun looked at Sister Feng disapprovingly, but Sister Feng sneered: "Don't you be deceived, what were they like before Qiang'er came back?" Now that I saw that the gentleman was back, I came to this set? I tell you, they are used to using this trick one by one. If they had just been bought, poor baba, it would be nothing to raise them once. There are only a few more cats and dogs on the left and right, but now they have learned all the things they can do to seduce their children, how dare they raise this?

I've heard that they even know how to look at men, what kind of eyes they should have, how to cry, and how to cry to hook up the masters, all of which are specially taught.

Good man, you must be taught badly! Do you still feel sorry for them? ”

Jia Qiang asked again: "Except for Bu Zhengfang, I never accept people from my family. Is this a gift from the Qi family, or is it who's family? ”

The first woman turned pale, and replied with a curt-eyed voice: "Master Hou, the slaves are from the Chen family, the Li family, and the Peng family. Since childhood, he has been taught and trained, learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and a subset of history. can also play the piano and blow the flute, recite poems and Go, play double-back, and wipe dominoes to relieve boredom, but he has never learned the means of self-contempt and self-deprecation of foxes. Although the slaves and maids are Yangzhou thin horses, they are also divided into three classes. The slaves and maids were the first class, and the second class learned bookkeeping, needlework, or some cooking. The third level is ...... That's what this grandmother is talking about. The real nobles don't look down on those ......" voices are soft and sultry.

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "She listens to rumors and believes rumors, you don't have to pay attention." It's just that Benhou's family has big rules, and he can't enter anyone when he is idle. Now you have all the deeds on you, right? Why not be free and fend for yourself? And don't worry, I will let people tell the heads of the three families of Chen, Li, and Peng, so that the three families will not be embarrassed for you. ”

Such a gentle, reasonable and delicate nobleman, what is the difference between this and the lover in their dreams?

The hearts of several girls melted, and the leading girl shook her head and begged: "Master Hou, although the slave deed is here, it is still in the slave register." And they all have no home, and there is really nowhere to go. When he went out, the master of the house told the slaves that he went out this time to repay the kindness of upbringing, and there was nothing to do with it since then. Master Hou, the slaves and others will never dare to have restless thoughts, they just want to have a place to stay, even if they are willing to do some sweeping needles. ”

Tanchun, Xiangyun, Ping'er and others above have already moved their hearts of compassion, but Sister Feng, who has experienced a lot of things, understands that the more beautiful a woman is, the more ridiculous the words in her mouth.

There are so many girls of this color who can be in the body, and they will keep to themselves when they enter the house?

To hell with it!

In fact, it didn't have much impact on her, but if these nine really entered the house, it wouldn't take long for Xiangling, Qingwen, Xiao Jixiang, and Xiao Jiao'er to be squeezed out......

Everywhere is inferior to people, how can you deal with yourself?

Sister Feng really doesn't want to see a lively family in Dongfu, talking about tea all day long......

But before she could raise her Danfeng eyes before she spoke, Daiyu stopped her and said to Jia Qiang: "Why don't you all stay, and in the future, the East Road Courtyard will be used?" ”

The East Road Courtyard is where Yin Ziyu will marry and live in the future.

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "You can pull it down!" Do you see that she has a maid by her side on weekdays? Even Nan Zhu stayed at home, like a lone knight, and was the most impatient with these ......"

Daiyu said angrily: "I don't know the hearts of good people, whatever you want!" ”

Jia Qiang smiled with her, such a shallow trap, just want to trap people?

He turned his head again and asked the girl who was the leader: "Since the second-class can read and settle accounts, then you must also be able to do it?" ”

Several girls nodded in unison, and Jia Qiang smiled: "That's easy, if you want to stay, just stay, it's in Yangzhou Mansion." You will give all the deeds to Miss Lin, and then you will work in this mansion. Every day, someone will send the account book, and after you have calculated it properly and checked it, someone will come to collect it. This task is not light, but the monthly silver is very high. You save a few years of hard-earned money, and when the time comes, Miss Lin will give you the deed and go to the yamen to eliminate the slavery for you, so good? ”

In short, with people as horses, he doesn't take them.
