Three days later.

Daiyu's small courtyard, in the left ear room.

It was originally a small ear room between the east wing and the verandah, but it was piled up with some miscellaneous items, but now it has been cleaned up and a strange-looking stove has been installed.

Inside the stove, the charcoal fire is at its peak, and under the wooden basin with a hat turned upside down, is an iron pipe the thickness of a baby's arm.

Behind the stove, there is an iron wall......

The sound of boiling water constantly emanating from the wooden basin made the room boiling hot.

Jia Qiang stood with her hands in her hands, looking at this familiar small boiler, her eyes were a little complicated, in the previous life, any farm workshop could make things, but in this life, it was necessary to concentrate the most sophisticated blacksmiths and carpenters in Yangzhou Mansion to build them with heart.

Daiyu was originally wearing a white background green calyx embroidered cloak, the temperature in Yangzhou was about to snow, but after only standing in this room for a while, she couldn't stand still, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, it's so hot, I can't even stand up." Anyway, I don't think this thing is as good as Tang Pozi, I can't stand this. ”

Jia Qiang squinted at her and said, "I'll dismantle it in a while and go to the small study." ”

Will Daiyu be afraid of him? He sneered and said, "You can just dismantle it, but if you want us to make room for outsiders to pick it up, you can't." Outsiders can't enter, only you can tear it down yourself. ”

With that, he turned around and walked out of the ear room.

Jia Qiang twitched the corners of her mouth and told the two night vigil grandmothers: "The water in this wooden basin must not be dried, and it will explode if it dries, you should be careful." ”

This has been said many times, and a grandmother smiled and said: "It's warm in this house, and we will take turns sleeping here in the future, and we will never dare to lack a little water, otherwise, our own little life will be gone." ”

Jia Qiang nodded, walked out of the ear room and entered the main room along the verandah.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Daiyu, Zijuan, Xueyan, Xiangling and even Aunt Mei, who had not just passed, all of them smiled and liked it.

The cold in the south of the Yangtze River is not as cold as in the north.

The winter in the south of the Yangtze River is as cold as a needle.

It's damp, wet and cold, and it's really uncomfortable.

Even if you are in the house, you should wear thick clothes.

But at this moment, everyone took off their brocade jackets.

It's not as dry and hot as the ear room, but now the room is as warm as spring, and it's not dry and rough at all.

Seeing Jia Qiang come in, even Aunt Mei stood up with a smile and praised: "It's hard for you to think of it, it's really heartfelt!" ”

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "Aunt Lin's body is still weak, and it is difficult to survive in autumn and winter every year...... In addition, now my uncle's body and bones are not neat, once it is contaminated with wind and cold, I am afraid that the impact will be even worse. So I thought of such a way, first see how the effect is with Aunt Lin, and if it is good, I will go to Aunt Lin to give Aunt Grandpa. ”

Aunt Mei is naturally satisfied and can no longer be satisfied, she lives in Lin Ruhai on weekdays, which is convenient to take care of, and Lin Ru [567 Chinese] sea use, she naturally enjoys happiness.

Daiyu also liked it in her heart, forgot about the "festival" just now, pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother Qiang, could it be that you got Luban's suicide note?" If the Gongyuan takes this exam, even if you can't get the champion and the leader, you can also explore the flowers. ”

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "What Luban's suicide note?" Although Lu Ban is the grandfather, he didn't leave these things that I would. I was born with this, and I was born with it. ”

"Look at your smugness, what are you proud of?"

After teaching Daiyu, she asked, "I heard that you didn't come back last night, where did you go?" ”

Aunt Mei on the side was silent, but she didn't hear it, but a pair of apricot eyes quietly looked at this and that from time to time.

The purple cuckoo was already numb, and it was not strange at all.

Xiangling and Snow Goose looked at the ...... with a smile

Jia Qiangqi said: "I didn't come back last night? Says who? ”

Daiyu turned her head to look at Xiangling, Xiangling smiled and chose to betray, and said, "I just didn't come back, I didn't come back until the end of the time." ”

At the end of the Yin period, when converted into the time of Jia Qiang's previous life, it was almost five o'clock in the morning......

Daiyu turned around and looked at Jia Qiang and snorted.

Then he deliberately explained to Aunt Mei seriously: "It was my father who said that let me, who is an aunt, look at him more......"

Aunt Mei is also a wonderful person, and after saying "oh", she replied seriously: "If that's the case, you should ask carefully." ”

Jia Qiang's eyes flashed faintly with a hint of strangeness, because he inadvertently saw a touch of carmine on the edge of Daiyu's neck.

After getting along for a long time, he also became familiar with some of the habits of this tearful beauty.

For example, when she is forced to do nothing and has some weakness, the edge of her neck, perhaps underneath, will always be a little flushed.

It's just that it's usually covered by the collar and can't be seen, and it's hot in the house today, so a small buckle at the shoulder socket is not fastened, which makes Jia Qiang see some.

If this is the case, doesn't that mean that she actually knows what she is doing in her heart......

Jia Qiang's eyebrows raised lightly, and she said with a smile: "I am discussing things with Qi Yun of the Qi family and Xu Zhen of the Xu family, and I am going to buy Jufeng Island on Phoenix Island outside the North City." I heard that the scenery there is extremely beautiful, and you can see that the sunset and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky. There are many egrets and colorful mallards on the island, all of which are beautiful. In the spring, the weather will be warm, and the houses on the island will be built, and I will take everyone to the island. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiangling and Snow Goose jumped happily.

If they are at their age, when they are the most stubborn, they stay in a palm-sized world all day long, how can they not yearn for the outside?

Not to mention them, even Aunt Mei and Zijuan are a little moved.

Only Daiyu looked at Jia Qiang and said softly, "Are you going to be busy until that late?" Be careful not to burn your bones. How can I see, you have been reduced in the past few days? ”

Hearing this, Aunt Mei glanced at Jia Qiang and Xiangling with a smile.

She is from the past, and she can vaguely see the difference between Xiangling......

Jia Qiang laughed dryly and said, "Maybe, I'm a little bitter winter?" ”

"Fart!"

Daiyu really couldn't hold back, and after scolding, her pretty face blushed slightly and said: "Yangzhou Mansion has only heard of bitter summers and bitter summers, and it is not a bitter cold place, what kind of winter are you suffering from?" Even the capital is much colder than Yangzhou. ”

Although he said so, he still made up his mind, and asked Zijuan to tell Mama Wu that he would divide two catties of mutton for Jia Qiang every day.

Xu was because Aunt Mei was there, so she couldn't let go of her words, so she didn't say much.

Aunt Mei smiled: "There is still half a moon to go before the New Year, I will measure it for you to prepare new clothes." ”

These words made Jia Qiang and Daiyu look at each other in unison, and they both saw the doubts in each other's eyes......

Didn't you just measure it before?

What's wrong with Aunt Mei today, she seems to have a feeling that she doesn't belong......

Jia Qiang gestured to Daiyu slightly, Daiyu groaned for a while, and asked with a soft smile: "Auntie, but what do you have to say?" ”

Aunt Mei's face changed when she heard this, and she hurriedly shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing......"

That being said, tears have fallen.

The women in Jiangnan may be made of water.

Seeing this, Jia Qiang and Daiyu took another look, they were both a little surprised, and Qi Qi frowned.

Daiyu looked at Jia Qiang with some embarrassment, Jia Qiang hesitated, and still asked: "If my aunt has any difficulties, it is inconvenient to tell my aunt and grandfather, you can tell Aunt Lin first, and we will deal with it as the juniors." If you can do it, you will do your best. I'll take my leave......"

"Not necessarily!"

Aunt Mei, who has always been gentle and gentle, was rarely flustered at the moment, she pinched the Jinpa in her hand into a ball, and said sadly: "Brother Qiang, I really shouldn't have opened my mouth about this matter, but my surname is Mei ......."

Jia Qiang suddenly heard the words and said, "Auntie is worried about the Mei family? Just ......"

He thought about it, but decided to tell the truth: "The Mei family and the Feng family, if the aunt and grandfather order to take down the strict handling, in fact, there is no need for the aunt to worry about this matter, at least the relatives of the Mei family will not be arrested and put in prison." But this matter is the first decree of the Governor of Liangjiang, not to mention us, even my uncle is not easy to discount. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the Duke of Mid-Levels and the court to explain. ”

When Aunt Mei heard this, her face turned miserable, and she said: "I don't care about others, but Mrs. Tai is over seventy years old this year, how can she survive in the prison of Yin Chao?" My father and mother went early, and I was raised by my uncle, Mr. Fu Weng. Although the uncle is gone, Mrs. Tai is still there. I ......"

Jia Qiang thought for a while and said, "At most, I can only beg Lord Chen to let the old lady of the Mei family live better in prison and eat better." If there is a disease, please consult a doctor in time to delay the medicine and treat it early. Auntie, you don't have to go to your aunt and grandfather to talk about this matter, the first time he arrived in Jiangnan, in order to open up the situation as soon as possible, he rushed to Yangzhou Mansion on the first day of his reign as the governor of Liangjiang. The Mei family and the Feng family were the first fires he took advantage of to ignite. If this fire is extinguished, for the grandparents, they will almost break off their friendship with the Duke of Banshan, and the consequences will be extremely serious. ”

As soon as these words came out, Aunt Mei's face became more and more gloomy, and she said, "I understand it, and I never dare to participate in the affairs of the master outside." I am a woman's family, and I am already a member of the Lin family, how can I bother the master for the Mei family? I just wrote to inform the eldest master of the second room of the Mei family about this, he was originally from Hanlin, and he only came out of Beijing this year and worked as an official in Gusu. In this way, whether it succeeds or not, I have done my last duty as a Mei girl. The only thing I am worried about at the moment is Mrs. Tai. If Brother Qiang can really ask Lord Chen for help and take care of one or two, it will naturally be better. ”

Anyway, bend your knees and bless you.

Jia Qiang hurriedly avoided it, and was about to say something, but heard footsteps under the verandah outside the door, and before long, she saw Grandma Sun coming in a hurry, and saw Jia Qiang and said with a smile: "Brother is here, let me find it easily." If I had known, I would have listened to Mama Wu's words, and it would have been good to come directly...... Brother, let's go, the lord is looking for you to have something, it seems that there is a foreigner in front of you, and the lord invites you to come over to socialize. ”

Hearing this, Jia Qiang nodded, and said to Aunt Mei and Daiyu and the others who were hurriedly tidying up: "I understand everything, I'll go to the front first." ”

Aunt Mei and the others naturally let him speed, and the most important thing for Dai Lin Ruhai to see foreign guests is the most important.

Aunt Mei was even nervous in her heart, could it be someone from Gusu's side......

However, this outsider exceeded everyone's expectations......

……

The salt courtyard is in the hall.

An old man who looked like an old farmer hunched his waist and a woman with gray hair stood in the hall with a careful smile, and did not dare to sit down to eat tea.

Looking at the surrounding environment, my heart is uneasy, and I am afraid and faintly have an unspeakable expectation.

The last time this was the case, a county magistrate surnamed Jia beckoned him to see him and rewarded him with one hundred taels of silver!

With such a big movement this time, isn't there a great good thing that has fallen on the head?

After waiting for a long time, the two saw a handsome young man who did not talk like a word, smiling, and stepping in......

……
