After more than ten years of construction, the starting point of the north side of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal was changed from Tongzhou to between Dongbianmen and Chaoyangmen, which greatly shortened the route into Beijing, Dongbianmen unloaded, and Chaoyangmen docked passenger ships.

Yongding River, a three-story official ship sails on the river, on the mast, hanging a huge flag, on the book: Jiangnan Daying.

This is the official ship of Jia Jue who sent Daiyu to Beijing, because Jia Jue himself was not on the ship, so he could not fly his order flag, in order for them to be able to rush to Shenjing all the way unimpeded, Jia Jue thought of this method, of course, no one would delve into it for such a small matter.

Jia Lian and Jia Yucun stood side by side on the bow of the boat, silently looking at the Shenjing City in the distance.

Jia Yucun sighed, "After many years of absence, I finally returned to this dream place, and I don't know if I can do it this time.... Alas! ”

Jia Lian smiled faintly, "Everything pays attention to chance, you can't run, and you can't force it if it's not yours." You learn from me, look at the point. ”

Jia Yucun laughed and said loudly: "The second son is a man of temperament, but I am a layman, fame and fortune are the goals pursued in this life, and once you become famous, it will be difficult to break free." ”

Jia Lian didn't say anything, but a touch of ridicule flashed in his eyes, that day in Huai'an, Jia Yucun's words and deeds can be said to have subverted his three views, and the second-class jinshi is nothing more than that.

Jia Lian's reaction Jia Yucun saw it in his eyes, but he didn't get angry, but smiled faintly, touched the letter of recommendation in his arms, and remembered the third son of Rongguo Mansion, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, this is a ruthless person, he can go to the army to fight hard at a young age, or go to the Zhejiang Health Center, which is seriously plagued by bandits, he has to be admirable, being ruthless to others is nothing, being ruthless to himself, that is really ruthless!

The guerrilla general, who is less than 16 years old, is still in the eyes of today, and thinks of the situation in the past two years, this son has a bright future!

Thinking of this, he glanced at Jia Lian, and then thought of the rumored drunken Jia Yu, perhaps, he could get in touch with that person through Jia Yu.

.....

Rongguo Mansion, East Road Courtyard, Jia Yu Study.

Today, Jia Yu did not drink and have fun with a group of concubines, but sat by the bookcase with a blank face and read the letter.

Jia Guizheng stood aside respectfully, in order not to delay Jia Jue's affairs, he rushed back to Rongguo Mansion before Jia Lian and the others got off the boat, and handed Jia Jue's letter into Jia Yu's hands.

Jia Yu closed the letter and threw it on the bookcase, glanced at Jia Gui, and asked, "How is your young master doing in the Jiangnan camp?" ”

Jia Gui smiled slightly and said: "If you go back to the master, everything is fine, the third master said, so that the master does not have to worry, before the end of the year, the third master will return to Beijing." ”

Jia Yu: "Oh? ”

Jia Gui didn't answer, but smiled bitterly.

Jia Yu didn't care, took a sip of the tea bowl beside him, moistened his throat, looked at Jia Gui carefully, and then said, "You are thin and dark." Bothered! ”

Jia Gui knelt down and said loudly: "The old man's words are a small one, and it is a small duty to take care of the third master." ”

Jia Yu nodded and waved his hand, "Get up." Jue'er said in the letter, you go home for two days and then go back, in addition, you go to the account room to find Wu Xindeng, just say your third master's words, and reward you with five taels of silver. ”

"Thank you for the grace of the old man and the third master."

Jia Gui kowtowed again and stood up.

Jia Yu showed a hint of a smile, "You don't have to be like this, you take care of Jue'er for the master, and the old man is also grateful in his heart." Go back and get some rest, and come by before you leave, I have a letter for you to bring. ”

Jia Gui replied loudly: "Yes! ”

Looking at Jia Gui's disappearing back, Jia Yu couldn't sit still, stood up, paced in the room, looked at the letter for a moment, walked to the door, and shouted: "Go, call your wife to come!" ”

Not to mention that Jia Yu was busy after receiving Jia Jue's letter, Chaoyangmen Wharf, Jia Lian also took Lin Daiyu to sit in a sedan chair that had been waiting for a long time, and the journey was smooth, and the group soon arrived at Ningrong Street, Jia Lian led Jia Yucun into the house from the side door, and at the same time sent people to ask Jia Yu and Jia Zheng.

West corner door, two small doors have already opened, Wang Shanbao led a bunch of maids in red and green to greet in the door, Wang Mama and Snow Goose just got off the sedan chair and was startled by such a big battle, Wang Shanbao's family walked to the side of the sedan chair and asked Daiyu to say goodbye through the sedan curtain, and nodded to Wang Mama, Fang beckoned the four small maids to carry the sedan chair, and the group walked to the inner house in a mighty way, until they got off the sedan chair in front of the hanging flower door, the four little maids bowed and withdrew, Wang Shanbao's family stepped forward to open the sedan curtain, helped Daiyu to get off the sedan chair, Daiyu held Wang Shanbao's hand, Entered the Hanging Flower Gate, followed the verandah through the hall, and walked through three small halls, and then came to the courtyard where Jia's mother was, Rongqing Hall.

Outside the gate of the courtyard, Wang Xifeng and a housekeeper's daughter-in-law had been waiting for a long time, and was originally in the council hall to explain the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, but suddenly received a call from the cheap mother-in-law, who was not happy, but when she heard that it was the granddaughter of Jia's mother, she immediately fell into her heart, and this was the order of the eldest master, and she didn't go back to Ming Jia's mother, so she put down the things in her hand and rushed to greet her.

Seeing such a big scene, Daiyu, who was already mentally prepared, was still taken aback, and her eyes were even more on the young woman who walked in the front, she was about twenty years old, with a moon-white satin jacket, a gown with green satin pinching silver thread, a white silk skirt, and plain silver on her head. The most attractive thing is her pair of Danfeng triangular eyes, although she has a smile on her face, but Daiyu understands in her heart that this sister-in-law is a person with a hard personality.

"This is Second Grandma Lian."

Wang Shanbao's family whispered to Daiyu: "Girl, be careful. ”

Daiyu nodded, knowing that this was Jia Lian's daughter-in-law, the second uncle's mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang's nephew, Queen Xifeng, Ying Ying gave Wang Xifeng a salute, "Second sister-in-law." ”

Wang Xifeng hurriedly stepped forward to support Daiyu, looked up and down carefully, and said with a smile: "No wonder the ancestor never forgets it every day, my sister is such a peugeot character, I can see it today!" This is really the fairy of the Nine Heavens! ”

said, and hurriedly took Daiyu's hand, "Sister is here, don't be sad and homesick, or have grievances, just say, what you want to eat and play, just tell me; The mother-in-law and maids are not good, just tell me, don't be an outsider. ”

At the same time, he asked Wang Shanbao's family, "Can the girl's luggage and things be moved in?" ”

Wang Shanbao's family: "If you go back to the second grandmother, my wife has already taken someone to clean up the old courtyard of my aunt's wife, and the things have been sent over." ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said, "This is what the master meant." ”

Wang Xifeng's brain was "buzzing", she remembered Jia's mother's words in her heart, that was to raise Daiyu and Baoyu by her side, and now that the eldest master is intervening, there must be something in this.

Wang Xifeng's heart suddenly surged with a heart of gossip, everyone has curiosity, let alone Wang Xifeng, who has a strong desire to control.

At this time, a little daughter-in-law with a peugeot appearance came over and said with a smile: "Grandma, the girl is tired all the way, and there will be time to laugh in the future, this time, the old lady is still waiting." ”

"This is Miss Ping."

Wang Shanbao's family on the side reminded in a low voice.

Daiyu bowed slightly and smiled gently.

Ping'er was stunned for a moment, Wang Xifeng pushed her, came back to her senses, and hurriedly replied: "Girl, this can't be helped..."

Wang Xifeng next to him pursed his lips, took Daiyu's hand again, and said with a smile: "Let's go in quickly, don't let the ancestor wait for a long time." ”

In Rongqing Hall, Jia's mother, who got the news, walked off the high platform with the support of two maids, and it happened that Wang Xifeng came in with Daiyu, looking at the weak girl in front of her, Jia's mother was stunned for a moment, and she could vaguely see the appearance of her little daughter between her eyebrows, which made her feel that her daughter was back to her side for a moment, and she came back to her senses for a moment, thinking of her daughter's early death, she was distressed and helpless, and she didn't wait for Daiyu to see her, so she hugged her into her arms, and cried out with her heart.

Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others were afraid that Jia's mother would cry and hurt her body, so they were busy persuading, the grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other and cried for a long time, and remembered other people, and introduced Daiyu one by one, not long after, the Yingchun sisters also rushed over, Wang Xifeng hurriedly introduced the three to Daiyu to know, looking at the same dress in front of them, good looks, lively and beating Sanchun sisters, Daiyu is also very happy, since her brother died, she is alone, very lonely, now there are three more little sisters at once, and the anxiety in her heart is much less.

Looking at the few people around laughing, Jia Mu smiled kindly, suddenly remembered something, and asked Mrs. Wang, "Where is Baoyu?" Why don't you see Baoyu? ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang, who was sitting next to her, looked quite unsightly, clenched the Buddhist beads in her hand, and said with a smile: "Baoyu went to the temple to make a vow, and I think I will come back very late." ”

As soon as the words fell, the maid's voice came from outside the door: "Second Master Bao is back!" ”
