Chapter 40 Yangzhou
The attacker finally persuaded Baoyu, and when the musk moon and the others outside heard the movement inside, they knew that his anger was almost gone, and they also quietly entered the house.
Bi Jin is not used to being with Baoyu on weekdays, and when he saw him sitting there drinking tea, he smiled and leaned over and quipped: "The second master has such a big temper, it scared us." ”
Baoyu snorted, "I've told you not to say it, why don't you pay attention?" ”
Bi Jin didn't carry this black cauldron, "It's Mama Li who went to tell the old lady, what's the matter with us!" ”
After hearing this, the attacker hurriedly asked, "How do you know it's Mama Li?" Don't speculate! ”
Lu Aya came over to remind them that she was kind, Jiang Yan didn't want her to be hated by Mama Li, so she hurriedly replied: "Everyone in the old lady's house who went to her in the morning knows that this is not Bijin nonsense." ”
Bijin nodded, "yes, I don't believe you can ask someone." ”
Baoyu put down the tea bowl hard, frowned and complained, "It's her again!" But after eating her milk for a few days, it's in charge! Day by day, she is even more powerful than her ancestors! I'm going to get rid of her sooner or later! ”
The attacker hurriedly stopped his words, "Little Ancestor, Mama Li is in charge of all the affairs of this Qianyun Xuan, and it is also within her duty to report to the old lady, how can she be driven away because of this?" If you go to the old lady, she won't agree. ”
As soon as she persuaded Baoyu, she became even more angry and shouted: "She has become an ancestor!" I can't touch her anymore? I have already instructed that this matter should not be spread outside, she asked around and told the old lady, it is clear that she does not take me seriously, my words are all in the ear, I can't afford this kind of nurse! ”
The attacker persuaded him bitterly, "Mama Li is old, it is inevitable that she will be confused, why should you bother with her." It's for the sake of her taking care of you for so many years, just bear with it. ”
Baoyu shook off her hand and said irritably: "If you are old, you can go home when you are old, and the province will be annoying here!" ”
Qingwen laughed beside her, and said to the attacker idly: "What do you persuade him to do, it's just a few complaints from us, not once or twice, how did you see him?" ”
Baoyu was blocked by her words, and said angrily, "You wait and see!" Let's see if I'm talking about playing! With that, he threw up his sleeves and went back to the room and lay on the bed.
"What are you provoking him to do," complained the attacker, "and let him say a few words to dissipate his anger." ”
Qingwen rolled her eyes, "Isn't what I'm telling the truth?" This master said that there are eight times when he has picked up Mama Li ten times, and people are still good. I'm tired of listening to what you persuaded him, it's hard for you to say it again every time you have to change flowers, and no one is grateful if you persuade him well. ”
Seeing that her words were tingling, Musk Yue smiled and said, "He has already left, you are angry when you speak, what does Mama Li's matter matter to us, it is also worthy of you." ”
Thinking that this matter really had nothing to do with them, Qingwen pursed her lips and didn't say anything more, and turned her head to discuss with Jiang Yan the pattern of the fan cover in her hand.
The attacker was used to her like this, and never took her words to heart, so he went into the house to find Baoyu, and as soon as he came back, he went to lie down in the bedroom, and dinner was useless.
Qingwen is right, this matter is indeed over, Mama Li will still rely on the old man in Qianyun Xuan to make a fortune, and Baoyu still can't do anything about her. After he was forbidden to run, he was depressed for several days. The little guy who followed him was beaten again, and he took him back to the house as soon as he got out of school, and he didn't dare to let him go out to play. In addition, Jia Rui's illness has not improved for a long time, Jia Dairu's temper is getting worse and worse, and the students are scolded for a slight mistake in class, everyone is trembling, and they don't even have the spirit to study, Baoyu feels that this study is becoming more and more boring.
He spent more time at home, and Jiang Yan, as a maid, had to wait for orders from time to time, and he was no longer as relaxed as before, but Baoyu's rules were not strict, and there was not much change.
As soon as Baoyu was bored, she missed Lin Daiyu even more, and the time she used to study with Lin Daiyu was much happier than now. He went to Daiyu's house to sit longer every day, and from time to time he sent someone to Wang Xifeng's to ask if there was any news of Jia Lian and them. Wang Xifeng was annoyed by his questioning, and directly said that if he bothered her again, she would not tell him even if there was news, which made Baoyu dare not go too far and reduce the number of times he sent people to ask for letters.
Jiang Yan was reminded by him, remembering that she hadn't seen Lin Ruhai yet, and she didn't know if Yangzhou was counting points, and her family leave this year was useless, so she was ready to take the opportunity to go to Yangzhou. She remembered that Lin Ruhai and Qin Keqing died around the same time, and they should still be alive now.
She calculated the speed of Daiyu and their boat, how could they arrive in a few months, so she asked for leave and went to Yangzhou.
When she went to Yangzhou to inquire and found the Salt Patrol Imperial History Mansion, sure enough, Lin Daiyu had already lived in the backyard of the mansion, and was busy accompanying and taking care of her seriously ill father every day.
Lin Ruhai has been an official in Yangzhou for so many years, and has purchased a lot of industries, Daiyu will return to the capital in the future, and it is impossible to take over, these must be dealt with in a hurry, plus Lin Ruhai sees that it is going to be bad, and the things behind him have to be handled, and Jia Lian is busy for a while, and Jiang Yan has not seen him when he enters the Lin Mansion.
Because the old man in the mansion was seriously ill, some people in the Lin Mansion were panicked for a while, thinking of a way out, and the people inevitably relaxed, Jiang Yan didn't have much trouble going in, she pretended to be a little maid and easily arrived at the main courtyard, Lin Ruhai was already dying, and he was weak to speak, but he just stayed on the bed to survive. Daiyu was talking to him in the house, Jiang Yan was afraid of being bumped into by Daiyu Zijuan and other acquaintances, so she didn't dare to delay, and immediately left the Lin Mansion when she saw Lin Ruhai.
Jiang Yan sympathized with Daiyu for a while, and then put this matter aside, it was rare to come to Yangzhou, she naturally had to stay for two days before going back.
Yangzhou has been a prosperous place since ancient times, with developed commercial trade, and businessmen from all over the world and even overseas gather here through the Grand Canal, and all the customs and soil can be seen, and she has long wanted to come and open her eyes. Although there are all kinds of treasures in the capital, she can't afford them, and in terms of novelty, they are really not as good as these port cities. After all, the merchants are profit-seeking, and the goods that are transported to the capital are naturally as valuable as possible, all of them are precious stones, ivory, tortoiseshell, spice glass, and these are not as attractive to Jiang Yan as the strange things that the guys on the ship brought back by the way.
Jiang Yan went straight to the largest port here, and saw the tall mast on the hull of the ship from a distance, and the large and small ships that could not be seen at a glance were all over the river, and the slender men wore short beats and shouted slogans to pull the boat to the shore, and there were constantly coolies coming down from the top on the boats that had been parked, carrying boxes of goods to load on the car, and groups of people gathered under some boats, surrounding the owner to inquire about the situation of the goods, many people placed orders on the spot, and beckoned the guys to come over to help, a lively scene in full swing.
