The moonlight in the south of the Yangtze River seems to be hazy than the moonlit night in the north.

Daiyu, who was wearing plain clothes because her father was seriously ill, has also changed her color.

On top is a misty blue sprinkled flower smoke shirt, below is a smoky purple carrot gauze skirt, and on the feet is a pair of light red embroidered shoes.

The eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, the eyes are like stars, and when you look at it, you seem to be able to see through people's hearts.

Daiyu looked at Jia Qiang and said softly: "Daddy's serious illness has not healed, I may want to stay for a few more months, and serve in front of the bed until he recovers." Come to think of it, it will always be the New Year, and it will not be until next spring. Is Brother Qiang in a hurry to return to Beijing? ”

Jia Qiang shook her head slightly and said: "Now that the situation in Beijing is flourishing, I need to avoid the edge for the time being, not to touch the mold, it is best not to let people see me and think of me." It's Aunt Lin who wants to go back, and I don't plan to go back for the time being. ”

Daiyu's heart was put down, and when she heard the words, she smiled, and said angrily: "Then what are you ......doing in the vernacular?"

Jia Qiang thought for a while and said, "If Aunt Lin returns to the capital in a hurry, I need to hurry outside to find a house......

Before he finished speaking, he saw Daiyu raise his eyebrows, lowered his face and said, "Brother Qiang, you still treat us as distant relatives of Wufu?" ”

A high-minded and arrogant girl like Daiyu is actually unbearable.

Jia Qiang helped her so much, not only escorted her south, but also made great efforts to save her father, she was already grateful, and she also had a lot of good words in front of Lin Ruhai, which was why Lin Ruhai let Jia Qiang live in his small study.

In Daiyu's view, this is not only a way to repay kindness, but also the meaning of closeness between relatives?

Who would have thought that it was her wishful thinking, and what Jia Qiang thought was that she actually moved out early!

Jia Qiang saw that Daiyu was really annoyed, so she smiled and said: "Aunt Lin doesn't have to be careful, it's just that I have to stay in Jiangnan for a lot of time, in addition to studying hard, there are many other things to do, such as opening a bookstore that I discussed with Aunt Lin before......"

"So what?"

Daiyu was still angry, and simply forced Jia Qiang to tell him clearly, otherwise he would not be able to follow.

Jia Qiang held back a smile and said, "If only Aunt Lin is here in the yamen of this salt courtyard, I naturally can't drive it away." But there is also an aunt and grandfather! ”

Daiyu didn't think about it, but said strangely: "Doesn't my father still recognize you as a relative?" ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "It's not that you don't recognize your relatives...... It was also when I talked with Aunt Lin recently that I learned that my aunt and uncle had been an upright official all his life, and his reputation in Shilin was extremely high. With such a parent, how can I bear to talk about some businessmen, gold and silver in his palace? ”

Daiyu snorted and said, "When I was five years old, my father taught me: Shinong, Industry and Commerce, and the people of the country. Daddy was already managing the salt tax, so how could he be contemptuous of business? ”

Jia Qiang patiently explained: "It's not that my uncle will despise business, it's that I can't use my own money to make money, which affects his old man's official reputation." The salt tax is a state affair, and our operation of the bookstore is a private matter after all. Besides, even if I move out, I will often come back to ask Aunt Lin for advice......"

Before she finished speaking, Daiyu suddenly got up, glanced at Jia Qiang heavily, and then said, "If you want to move out, go and talk to my father, what does it have to do with me!" ”

After that, he staggered away.

During the confrontation between the two, no one dared to speak.

After she left, before the others could speak, they saw Zijuan coming over with a pot full of hot rice, but found that Daiyu was gone, and Nahan asked, "Where is our girl?" ”

A maid of the Lin family who was waiting next to him whispered: "There is a quarrel!" ”

Zijuan was startled, looked at Jia Qiang, and said, "It's so decent, why are you arguing?" ”

Jia Qiang took the rice bowl from Zijuan's hand, served another bowl to herself, and said with some disgust: "Next time I serve a big bowl, this bowl is good-looking, but a bowl can only hold three mouthfuls of rice, fooling people." ”

Zijuan couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly sent someone to fetch the big sea bowl, and asked, "Why did Second Master Qiang quarrel with the girl?" ”

Jia Qiang didn't know what to say, and Li Jing smiled on the side: "It's okay, our master said that he will stay in Jiangnan for a long time, if Miss Lin is not in a hurry to return to Beijing, we will not be in a hurry to move out first......"

Zijuan was frightened again when she heard this, she couldn't believe her ears, her eyes widened, and she said, "Our girl asked you to move out?" No way!! ”

Li Jing laughed on the side: "Naturally not, what our lord means is that we are not in a hurry to move out to find a house before the year, and then move after the year." ”

Zijuan then understood, took a long breath, and said angrily: "You young gang leader is really not a good person, you specialize in playing tricks on people!" He turned his head to look at Jia Qiang again, and said incomprehensibly: "How could Second Master Qiang want to move out and live?" You escorted our girl south, and found a famous doctor to save the master, we haven't repaid such a great favor, you don't even want to live at home, how can you make our girl feel at ease? ”

After Jia Qiang finished a bowl of rice with a good-looking but never slow taste, she said softly: "This does not mean to pretend to be high and draw a clear relationship, and I am not a hypocritical person, and I don't disdain to do that." I will discuss this matter with my aunt and grandfather, and you tell Aunt Lin that I am indeed thinking about my aunt's official reputation. Now that the situation in Beijing is turbulent, if you see a lot of money in your grandfather's salt administration yamen, even if this matter has nothing to do with your grandfather, others will definitely hang on your grandfather's head. At that time, I am afraid that something unforeseeable. ”

Mama Wu, who had been serving on the side, couldn't help it when she heard this, and said with a smile: "In the end, it is a noble son from Beijing, and his style is really different." There is only one brother in the world who can think so easily of making money......"

Obviously, in her eyes, Jia Qiang has become a hairless cowhide lamb with a hairless mouth.

Jia Qiang didn't want to explain anything, and after eating and drinking, she asked Zijuan: "Is there a place to take a walk in the house?" Aunt Lin described this place on the boat earlier as very elegant, and the activities after meals also help to restrain you. ”

Li Jing smiled and said, "Master and Xiangling go and see, I'll go back to guard my father." ”

Xiangling didn't want it either, and whispered: "I still have to go back to write poetry." ”

Jia Qiang smiled, couldn't help but stroke the tips of the forehead and hair of this upright stupid girl, and said, "Okay, let's go back and do your work." ”

Zijuan also likes this kind of unpretentious closeness, and she smiled: "I'm not the host, the snow goose is." Let's go, I'm going to persuade the girl. But she may not listen to what I say. ”

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "If you can't listen to it, you don't have to force it, just understand it." ”

While talking and laughing, everyone dispersed during the banquet.

Because Vivian had already returned to Yangzhou Church with her Uncle George, the atmosphere was much more harmonious without this abrupt and unrestrained Yanmar.

……

The Yamen of the Salt Administration Yuan is extraordinary and occupies a large area.

Three roads and three houses, the courtyards are layered together, but they are different from the courtyards in the north.

The mansion in the south of the Yangtze River and the mansion in the north are completely different things.

The white walls and tiles in the south of the Yangtze River often have the meaning of gardens, the strange stones are craggy, and the interest of nature is always seen.

In contrast, the Northland is much more majestic, and even if the beams are carved and painted, there is always a sense of gray heaviness.

In the salt courtyard, there seem to be thousands of bamboos planted, and the lush greenery reverberates with a fresh breath.

Jia Qiang carried the lantern, the light was quiet, and she politely refused the kindness of the snow goose to accompany her, and walked alone in the garden of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

It's rare, let go of scheming and vigilance, and enjoy this tranquility.

As Daiyu said, there is a pavilion forest swamp at the southernmost end of the West Road Courtyard, there is a pavilion Xuan, there is a plaque on the Xuan, and the book is called "Houle Xuan".

Come to think of it, take the word "the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world".

Jia Qiang came to the Xuan, sat by the railing, the night breeze was soft and warm, and the dryness was gone.

A touch of the moon hangs in the ink sky, which is a little more interesting than the full moon.

The evening breeze is light, and the sound of bamboo leaves swaying in the bamboo forest is heard, which makes the night quiet.

This ancient place made him love it very much.

Sitting alone in this quiet place, Jia Qiang remembered what she had seen today.

Judging from today, Lin Ruhai is obviously more than a step ahead of Jia Zheng.

Contemporary scholars, especially those in high positions, rarely express their joy and anger.

When he was studying in the Red Chamber in his previous life, when he saw Jia Min pass away, Daiyu begged to stay with his father, but was coldly rejected by Lin Ruhai, his heart was a little cold.

Looking at his later correspondence with Jia Zheng and the promotion of Jia Yucun, he thinks that these people are all raccoon dogs.

Jia Zheng treats Baoyu so coldly?

But looking at it today, Xu is Lin Ruhai has a great epiphany between life and death, has too much popularity, has the love of his father, and is not even afraid to show it in front of others.

Such a person may be a little unorthodox in the eyes of mainstream scholars.

But in Jia Qiang's view, such talents are vivid and more flexible and intelligent!

And what Lin Ruhai is like is very important to Jia Qiang's situation in Jiangnan.

Even, Lin Ruhai's immortality is equally important to his situation after returning to Beijing in the future.

Let's not talk about these, just think about Daiyu who has never lost her father, that's all, think of her name in Bo Mingsi, and it should be outlined.

This girl is very interesting......

Jia Qiang's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the curved moon in the sky, as if she saw a pair of eyes......

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of bamboo not far away, stood up and looked west, only to see a little candlelight coming through the bamboo forest.

There seems to be a peerless beauty in a white dress and a white dress at the other end of the bamboo forest, stroking the qin and whispering.

Jia Qiang did not attract the sound of the piano like the scholar in the book.

Because he is not confused, this is Lin Ruhai's back house, and there are several of his concubines in the back house.

Even if the woman on the other side is really peerless, it is not something he can provoke.

What's more, in addition to the peerless beauty, there are also female ghosts who may be bad people's lives......

Shaking his head slightly, he regretted that Yaxing, who was traveling at night, was destroyed, Jia Qiang carried the lantern and turned back.

The gentleman is cautious and independent, and does not deceive the dark room.

The principles of life left by the ancestors are still necessary for self-cultivation.

But he didn't know that this scene also fell into the eyes of others, making people secretly bowed their heads......

A leopard in the tube, at least the character is rare.

……

PS: Character ...... It's still sturdy!

Come on!!
