Chapter 81 Leaving Jinling North and returning home, visiting the Lin Mansion in Yangzhou
"Uncle, the shipwrights of the Xue family just told me that they have arrived at Yangzhou Wharf, and they will be reliable after a while, and they asked us to prepare."
In the small cabin, several chattering people couldn't help but look at the hatch, only to see the wind walking in through the hatch.
Hearing this, Jia Zhu thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but look at Shen Zizheng and Shen Yixiu, and then said:
"Why don't you go to Yangzhou City with us, this Yangzhou is also a rare rich and prosperous place in my Shenzhou.
Li Taibai once said that the fireworks will go down to Yangzhou in March, and it would be a pity if you don't come to Yangzhou. ”
When Shen Zizheng saw Jia Zhu say this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, and then looked at his sister Shen Yixiu beside him, and also knew that he was inconvenient, and he had been living in Jiafu for the past two years. It is already an obstacle to the reputation, and now that the imperial examination has been completed, it is natural that he should return to Shenjing as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he immediately looked at Jia Zhu apologetically, smiled indifferently, and then said:
"Senior brother, it's been two years since I left Shenjing, so I won't accompany my brother to Yangzhou, and there will naturally be many opportunities in the future. Let's go to Shenjing with my sister first, after all, there are some things that need to be dealt with in Beijing. ”
Seeing Shen Zizheng's refusal, Jia Zhu couldn't help but have a trace of regret in his eyes. He wanted to take Shen Zizheng around, and the relationship between his brothers and sisters was also deeper.
In the future, the court can also help each other as officials, and this sister of the Shen family is also graceful and moving, with poems and books in her belly, he very much wants to match this sister of the Shen family with Jia Qiong.
First, it is Jia Qiong who is of the same clan as him after all, and he will be in the same breath in the future.
Second, it can also make Jia Qiong's background deeper, so that the uncle of the Shen family can also be closer to Jia Qiong, and he and Shen Zizheng and Jia Qiong are originally the same family, and they will help each other in the future. If there are in-laws, and then through the same clan bond, then it is equivalent to the Shen family and the Jia family are closer.
Third, this sister of the Shen family also looks up to Brother Qiong, and when she calls herself, she is the elder brother of the Jia family, and when she is called Brother Qiong, she is Brother Qiong. It may be that Brother Qiong is young, but there must be a reason why Brother Qiong is talented and rich. The sister of the Shen family is such a smart person as Bingxue, maybe only Brother Qiong can suppress him.
Thinking of this, Jia Zhu couldn't help but look at Jia Qiong, only to see that Jia Qiong just lowered his head and smiled, the light in his eyes was not concentrated, and he was thinking about something.
didn't hear the conversation between himself and the others, and then coughed lightly twice, but saw that Jia Qiong didn't seem to hear it.
Shen Yixiu and Shen Zizheng noticed Jia Zhu's gaze, and then they also looked at Jia Qiong, and saw that Jia Zhu was coughing and did not wake up Jia Qiong.
The three of them looked at each other, and they couldn't help but smile.
Shen Yixiu couldn't bear Jia Qiong's ugliness, so he opened his teeth lightly and said softly: "Brother Qiong, I haven't seen you speak for a long time, is there anything wrong?" ”
Jia Qiong, who was in reverie, heard Shen Yixiu calling him, and couldn't help but slowly turn his mind, looked at Shen Yixiu in confusion and asked:
"Sister Shen, Fang Caiqiong thought about something, but I didn't hear what my sister said, can you say it again."
Seeing Jia Qiong's reaction like this, Shen Yixiu couldn't help but hold a silk handkerchief to cover his lips, then shook his head with a smile, and then briefly recounted Fang Cai's affairs
Seeing Shen Yixiu say this, Jia Qiong couldn't help but look at Jia Zhu, only to see that he was smiling, but the corners of his mouth were a little narrow. Then he said: "Brother Zhu, please also invite Haihan, my brother is a little distracted." ”
Jia Zhu waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, Senior Brother Zizheng and Sister Shen Family don't go to Yangzhou with us, you let Mandarin Duck and Brother Parrot clean up and go to Auntie's side with me." ”
Hearing Jia Zhu's words, Jia Qiong couldn't help but be stunned. Jia Zhu and Jia Min are aunts and nephews, but they have no close relationship with them. Although they are of the same race, they have never met, let alone Lin Ruhai.
I haven't been home to see my mother and sister for nearly two years, and Jia Qiong still misses it a lot. I don't know how the past two years have passed, and whether there is something wrong at home.
There was nothing before the exam, and after the exam, I couldn't suppress the feeling of longing. After sitting on the boat, I couldn't wait to return to Shenjing in an instant, to the somewhat dilapidated hut.
couldn't help but look at Shen Yixiu and Shen Zizheng, only feeling that they were not suitable, and how suitable they could be. Although I really wanted to meet Lin Daiyu at this time, it was a little inappropriate after all.
Then he looked at Jia Zhu with some doubts and said, "Brother Zhu, is it appropriate for me to go?" Is it inconvenient. ”
Hearing Jia Qiong's question, Jia Zhu couldn't help but be stunned, then smiled heartily and said:
"How inconvenient is this, Aunt Min is my aunt and yours, don't forget, we are of the same race. When poor families go farther, they will look for their relatives in the local area.
Besides, Uncle Lin is from Tanhua, so we can also ask for more knowledge. And if you have something to do in the future, can you come to Yangzhou alone, can you not walk around with your relatives? If you encounter difficulties when you go out, you can also ask relatives to help, so you should find a way in advance. ”
Hearing this, I suppressed the homesickness in my heart, thought about it rationally, and felt that what Jia Zhu said was very reasonable.
Then he said to Jia Zhu: "That's the case, but it's arranged by Brother Zhu." ”
He beckoned the mandarin duck and the parrot brother to pack their bags.
looked at Shen Yixiu's sister and brother again, arched his hand and said, "In this case, then I will not accompany Senior Brother and Sister Shen into Beijing together." ”
After the three of them exchanged a few polite words, Jia Zhu looked at Jia Qiong and said teasingly: "Actually, Brother Wei wants to know what makes Brother Qiong think so distractedly." ”
After speaking, he looked at Shen Yixiu vaguely, although Jia Zhu was vague, he was still discovered by the three of them.
Shen Yixiu's face was suddenly red, he did have a good impression of Brother Qiong, and he remembered the sentence that the female senior was blessed with longevity, and he was even more shy.
However, it's not easy to walk away, I just came here to see off the two of them.
Otherwise, how could she stay with a foreign man often as a boudoir girl, but she has gotten used to getting along in the past two years, and she knows what the two of them are, and there are fewer taboos.
Then he picked up the teacup in front of him, covered his face with his hands, and took a few sips lightly to relieve this faint embarrassment.
Seeing this on the side, Shen Zizheng only smiled slightly. In fact, if the junior brother and his sister can succeed, he is also very willing to see it.
In the past two years of getting along, Jia Qiong has suppressed these two senior brothers, whether in articles or martial arts, and after a long time, he admires them very much.
And my sister is also proud, and she won't look at ordinary people in her eyes, only her junior brother can make her look high. Seeing Jia Zhu like this, he was also willing to be prejudiced.
The performance of several people made Jia Qiong speechless, happy, and a little helpless. He also likes Shen Yixiu, but it's a pity that he is too young.
Seeing that Jia Qiong didn't speak, Shen Zizheng also became interested, and repeated Jia Zhu's question, saying, "Senior brother, what are you thinking about so much?" ”
Hearing this, Shen Yixiu couldn't help but put down the teacup and looked at Jia Qiong, also puzzled.
When he saw everyone coming, he couldn't help waving his hand again and again, he wouldn't tell everyone.
He was just thinking about the little girl Xue Baochai in Jinling.
Before coming, Jia Xue and the two families got together again and had a light meal together, and the little girl pestered him to tell him a lot of stories, and asked him to go to her often and tell him more stories.
After all, it is not Xue Baochai who is cautious and smooth in everything in the future.
And after the meal, in addition to the 50,000 taels that were negotiated to be used for business together, Xue Yan exchanged the remaining 68,000 taels for a currency exchange to him, and even if he went to Shenjing, there was a place to exchange for silver. He also sent him a house in Jinling.
PS: I drank some wine tonight, and I didn't have enough time to code words, so I hurried and hurried, and it was still late.
