In the afternoon, I came and went in the garden, busy with the gifts in various yards, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun were sent first, followed by Bao Dai and the others, Li Kun stayed behind, and went to her, in addition to giving gifts, there were some things related to fishing.

Jia Wei walked in front, and two rough maids followed behind with fishing tackle and gifts. Heading west, we crossed the Beewaist Bridge to Daoxiang Village, where Li Kun lived.

The building here is completely a pastoral scene, similar to the artistic conception in Tao Yuanming's poems, earthen walls and hedges, several thatched huts, there are mulberry trees, elm trees and other trees planted outside, but the courtyard is planted with hundreds of apricot trees according to the courtyard wall, it is in the flowering period now, in full swing, looking at it from afar, it seems that a red glow falls on the wall.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, the little maids outside the house saw it and sent a message inside, and after a while, several big maids in Li Kun's house greeted them. Jia Wei asked the two rough maids to put the fishing tackle in the outhouse, and took the gifts from them, and followed the big maids into the inner room.

Li Kun was sitting on a round stool doing needlework, and when he saw Jia Wei coming in, he got up and greeted, "Uncle is here, please take a seat." He glanced at the things in Jia Wei's hand.

Jia Wei sat down on a bamboo chair opposite her, looking at her, she was wearing a cyan dress today, covered with a moonlight cardigan, her blue hair was curled high, and her sharp melon seed face became more and more elegant and elegant, her plain eyebrows were painted lightly and finely, slightly provoked, and she did not enter the temples, she was twenty-three or four years old, although she had given birth, she was still very well maintained, and her beauty was gentle and dignified, and the whole person looked full of the charm of a lady in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Sister-in-law, I'm coming over today and bringing some gifts...... This one is for you, and this one is for Rango'er. ”

Jia Wei said with a smile, handing her the silk in his hand and the box containing the little Jin Kuixing one by one.

"These two things cost a lot of money, don't they? Uncle, why did you think of giving us a gift today? Li Kun looked at the silk carefully, tried the feel again, and then opened the box, saw Xiao Jin Kuixing, and asked with a slight surprise. It's nothing to give her silk, but the little Jin Kuixing who gave her son makes her feel that Jia Wei really has a heart.

"It didn't cost much money...... It's just that I've made some money in business, which is a happy thing, so I give some gifts to everyone. Several sisters in the garden have a share, and the sister-in-law is no exception. ”

Li Kun was overjoyed when he saw Xiao Jin Kuixing, and when he fell in Jia Wei's eyes, he couldn't help but smile secretly, Xiao Jin Kuixing still bought the right one. As for Li Kun opening the box in front of him, he naturally didn't mind, but was happy, the family would be like this, not polite.

Hearing that the sisters in the garden had a share, Li Kun nodded, said no more, smiled and thanked a few words, and saw that Jia Wei had beads of sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly asked the maids to fetch water and wash Jia Wei's face.

Jia Wei said no, but the maid had already come in with a large basin of water, so she stood up and washed it. I've been running around all day today, and it's really refreshing to wash my face at this moment.

At this moment, the maid had already brought the tea, and Jia Wei and Li Kun sat and chatted for a while, and finally talked about giving up school and doing business. Li Kun's mother's family has been a scholarly family for generations, and her father is the son of the country who supervises the wine, and he takes the matter of reading much more seriously than the Jia family, almost regarded as sacred, since the widowhood, she has taken on a dual identity, and strictly urged her son Jia Lan to study and progress, and only hoped that her son would be named on the gold list in the future and glorify the lintel. Therefore, she disagrees with Jia Wei's abandonment of studying and doing business, even if Jia Wei earns more silver, in her opinion, it is far inferior to Jinshi and Jindian, and the Golden Palace.

At this time, only the two of them were sitting, and there was no one else, so she did her duty to be a sister-in-law, and bluntly advised Jia Wei to change her mind as soon as possible and return to the school. Jia Wei naturally knew that she had good intentions, but he couldn't tell her a lot of words, could he say that the Jia family would be in danger of raiding the family in the near future, could he say that the imperial examination could not save the Jia family, so he listened quietly with a smile, neither said yes nor said no, so Li Kun said for a while, and probably noticed that Jia Wei was like last time, and he didn't listen to it at all, so he had to show a helpless smile and stop talking.

"Sister-in-law, I put the fishing tackle you want in the outhouse, and the maids know where it is...... Here are a hundred taels of silver, which are used for the host, and are also stored with you. I still have something to do in the yard over there, so I won't bother my sister-in-law. ”

Jia Wei waited for her to stop talking, took advantage of the situation to mention the fishing business, and took out a silver ticket with a denomination of one hundred taels and put it on a few cases next to her.

Li Kun listened, smiled and shook his head, "You, I know you don't like to listen to those words, you have to get out of my place quickly......" As she spoke, she got up and put away the silver ticket, sent Jia Wei out of the house, and returned to the house, she looked at the silk and the little Jin Kuixing again, and then asked the maid to put it away, and sat down on the round stool again to do needlework.

Jia Wei took the two rough maids back to his yard and entered the yard, and something caught his attention, but it was the fat carp caught last night wagging its tail weakly in the wooden basin.

"Hey, why is it still here, didn't you send it to the Huicui Temple?" Jia Wei asked the two rough maids.

He was too busy today, and he had only been idle since he came back at noon, and although he had been in and out of the yard a few times, he had not noticed that the carp was still here.

"The carp was sent, but the master of Miaoyu Nunnery refused to accept it, so we had to bring it back. In the afternoon, I ran around with the second master, and I forgot to tell the second master for a while. A rough maid replied with a smile.

"Won't take it? Why wouldn't she? ”

"The master of Miaoyu Nunnery said that this carp is ugly and dead, and it can't be put into the release pond, so it won't be accepted."

Jia Wei pressed the corner of his forehead and smiled dumbly.

As soon as the maid said it, he understood that the release pond of the cui'an was stocked with colorful koi, and the fat carp caught from the Qinfang River looked gray and inconspicuous, not to mention good-looking, with Miaoyu's quirks, of course, he refused to accept it.

"Nan Wu Amitabha, Miaoyu, Miaoyu, you are embarrassed to call the monks, all beings are equal, and the ugly carp is also a carp."

Jia Wei sneered, but he also knew that Miaoyu was by no means an ordinary monk, and in his intuition, Miaoyu was full of wisdom, clear and transparent, and was a real monk.

"If so, then eat this carp."

After this toss, this fat carp is already dying, and most of its belly is facing upward, even if it is let go of the river at this moment, it will not survive, so Jia Wei let the rough maids kill and eat it.

"Okay, Second Master Xie." The two rough maids were quite happy, and the other two or three rough maids also came over when they heard it, rolled up their sleeves and took a knife to scrape the scales and cut their belly, and the fat carp struggled a few times and died.

"Good, good, if you are unwilling, go to Miaoyu." Jia Wei chattered while entering the room.
