After returning to the ship, Zhou Rui's family sent someone to bring soothing tea, Shen Xiaoxiao personally fed Baoyu to drink, and coaxed Baoyu to eat Zhu Guo, and then accompanied Baoyu to sleep. After Baoyu fell asleep, Shen Xiaoxiao returned to his cabin. After sending the pomegranates down to rest, Shen Xiaoxiao sat on the futon and began to reflect.

It's really hard to talk about the consequences if there is no Dragon Four today, and Shen Xiaoxiao found that in addition to having a spiritual power detection function, he also has no real means of attack. This is dangerous, and you must give yourself some means of self-preservation. First, as a physical education teacher, I still know some elementary boxing, basic swordsmanship, knife skills, and 24-style Taijiquan. These are all textbooks that have been taught to students. I'm going to start practicing them one by one from tomorrow. Second, in addition to detection, mental power should also develop the functions of attack and defense. When I used to read novels, I had seen that the spiritual power was slowly gathered and condensed into a steel needle to attack, and I could try this myself. If you defend, you can condense your mental power into a shield, and you should be able to defend one or two. Well, I'll give it a try tomorrow, and now let's work hard to cultivate first, hoping to refine qi as soon as possible.

Early the next morning, under the pretext of the fact that they were unable to face the danger they encountered yesterday, they asked everyone to participate in the sport. Shen Xiaoxiao led everyone to play 24-style Taijiquan together, and even Baoyu didn't let go and asked him to follow along, and Baoyu's staggering efforts to play Taijiquan were so cute.

In this way, I practiced fist and foot kung fu during the day and worked hard at night. Yangzhou has arrived in a blink of an eye, looking at this crowded and crowded wharf scene, it is indeed the legendary Yangzhou.

Now the time has passed noon, there is already a carriage sent by the Lin Mansion waiting on the dock, because of the large number of people, there are still a lot of luggage to move, Zhou Rui's family arranged for an external steward to stay behind to preside over the luggage handling. She herself went to the Lin Mansion with Shen Xiaoxiao first. Shen Xiaoxiao took Baoyu to make the first carriage, Pomegranate and Mama Li followed the carriage, and Zhou Rui's family took other girls and grandmothers to make the two carriages behind, all the way to the Lin Mansion.

Lin Mansion is located on the west side of the two Huai Salt Transport Envoy Yamen on Wenchang Middle Road, in an alley called Yunsi Gongfu in a north-south direction. When Shen's little carriage arrived, there were already people waiting at the gate of the Lin Mansion. Among them, the leader was Jia Min's henchman and grandmother, I saw her walk quickly to Shen Xiaoxiao's carriage and personally helped Shen Xiaoxiao to get off the car and said: "The girl is afraid that she has forgotten the old slave for a long time, the old slave licorice is now surnamed Lin with her husband, and the girl will call the old slave Mama Lin if she wants."

"I gave Mama Lin a salute, aunt thanks to you for taking care of me. Shen Xiaoxiao bowed her head slightly and saluted Mama Lin.

"I don't dare to be a girl's gift, Madame was going to come to welcome the young master in person, but unfortunately Madame's body and bones don't allow it!" said that there seemed to be tears in her eyes, Mama Lin quickly lowered her head and wiped her tears. Then he raised his head and said to Shen Xiaoxiao with a smile: "You see that the old slave only cares about talking, and he forgot to bring the young master girl into the mansion." ”

Mama Lin turned around and led the way in front of her towards the gate of the Lin Mansion, which was facing east, facing the west wall of the Liangzhun Salt Transport Envoy. The gate is a figure-eight grinding door, from the gate into both sides of the verandah is a copying verandah, in the middle is the hall, the hall is placed a red sandalwood shelf marble large interstitial, on both sides of the chair a few chairs, it seems that the gatekeeper usually rests and visitors come to visit and wait for the summons.

After passing through the hall, Mama Lin stopped, pointed to the front and said, "The building in front is the living room of the Lin Mansion, where the master usually entertains guests. ”

Shen Xiaoxiao looked forward, only to see that Dayong Road led directly to the living room, the living room was spacious and bright, several doors were open, two rows of chairs were neatly arranged, and the furnishings inside looked extraordinary from a distance.

Mama Lin continued to introduce Lin Fu and said: "The front crosses the living room and then goes up to the master's study, sometimes the master will bring some official documents back to deal with it, so no one is allowed to approach, only the master and the master's personal entourage can enter." Wait a minute, we will follow the verandah on the right, through the gate on the right, to the south courtyard, which is the inner courtyard. And the left verandah goes out of the left door is the north courtyard, the north courtyard is the outer courtyard, and the male guests who usually visit live there. With that, he led everyone to the door on the right.

The first thing that catches your eye through the side door is a small but delicate lake, surrounded by graceful willow trees, around the lake is a path paved with bluestone slabs, and there is a small bridge with a unique appearance connecting the north and south. Mama Lin took everyone up to the small bridge, standing on the bridge to see the small lake and the small lake was more beautiful, and suddenly heard Baoyu excitedly calling: "Sister, look at the small fish, there are small fish." "I saw the occasional small golden fish swimming out of the water, causing ripples. Shen Xiaoxiao touched Baoyu's head and said: Baoyu is good, we have to live here for many days, let's come to see Xiaoyu later!" I saw that Baoyu nodded very sensibly, and together with Mama Lin got off the bridge, and after getting off the bridge, three paths appeared in front of everyone.

Mama Lin pointed to the path to the east and said, "This is the way to the kitchen, if the girl wants to eat anything in the future, just ask the girl to go to the kitchen, they don't dare not give it." Then he pointed to the middle road and said, "The road to the south is where the girl lives, and when he has met his wife, the old slave will take the girl there." ”

After Shen Xiaoxiao heard Mama Lin say that she lived where she lived, she couldn't help but want to release her spiritual power to investigate, and her spiritual power walked south along the path for seven or eight meters and was blocked by a long wall, and a round stone door was opened in the middle of the wall. Walk a little south along the path, and finally see a small courtyard after passing through a circular stone gate, with four big characters on the book "Mengxin Xiaozhu", surrounded by many trees, it is very quiet and the courtyard is deep! It seems that this is the place where I lived in Yangzhou during this time.

Shen Xiaoxiao took back the spiritual knife and followed Mama Lin all the way to the west, you can see flowers and trees on the road, and occasionally see some stone tables and chairs, I think it is for people who are tired of walking in the garden to rest, and even the walls on the south side are full of green trees on both sides. Soon came to a stone gate, through a stone gate and then saw a large courtyard, the courtyard gate on the three big characters written on the "Shaohuayuan" , into the courtyard door, the door on both sides of the wall corner are planted with a small piece of purple bamboo, look up to see both sides are super hand game outline, the courtyard to see a delicate rockery and connected with a delicate small pavilion, around the rockery along the road but three or five meters to see that there are three main houses, the middle of the main house door is open, the door is leaning on a beautiful woman, behind the left and right sides of each a maid, the beautiful woman saw Shen Xiaoxiao they unconsciously took a few steps forward and went down the steps.

Shen Xiaoxiao knew that it was Jia Min as soon as she saw the movements of this beautiful woman, so she hurriedly walked a few steps to meet her. I saw Jia Min hugging Shen Xiaoxiao, and said eagerly: "I finally saw you, I was waiting when the letter said that you were coming." The family is good, how is the old lady's health, and does the old lady have anything for you to bring to me. I miss her so much after being away from home for so many years!"

"Auntie, don't worry, anyway, we'll see you now, I'll tell you slowly when I get back. Shen Xiaoxiao stroked Jia Min and said.

"Ahem~ahem" Jia Min suddenly bent down and coughed violently, and Mama Lin hurriedly stepped forward to help Jia Min smooth his back. After a cough, Jia Min said with a smile: "Look at me I'm not as sensible as you girl, your height was only here at my waist when I got married that year, I didn't expect you to grow as tall as me after so many years." Then Jia Min turned his head to look at Jia Baoyu and said, "Let me guess, is this my cute nephew Baoyu who I haven't seen." ”

"Auntie, it's me, my name is Jia Baoyu, and I'm five years old this year. When Baoyu heard his aunt talk about him, he immediately jumped out and said loudly.

"Well, Baoyu is so smart, she is five years old this year!" Saying that, Jia Min touched Baoyu's head, and his eyes seemed to see the figure of another little boy through Baoyu, Jia Min looked at Baoyu stupidly, and was stunned for a while.

"The old slave took all the servants to greet my aunt and grandmother. At this time, the voice of Zhou Rui's family and the girls and grandmothers asking Jia Min to say goodbye sounded, which woke Jia Min up for a while, and Jia Min came back to his senses and said: "Get up, Mother Lin, you take Zhou Rui's family and all the servants to settle down first, and you will come to pick up the girl later." ”

Mama Lin nodded and replied, "Yes, madam." Then he said to them in Zhou Rui's family: "Everyone, please come with me." ”

"Wait a minute" Shen Xiaoxiao stopped Mama Lin, turned to Mama Li and said, "Baoyu has also been gone for a long time, you take him back to eat something and rest first." Then he turned to Pomegranate and said, "You also take the little orange and the little peach to go back to the place where we live tonight first, and see if there is anything to be cleaned up." ”

After sending people away, Shen Xiaoxiao helped Jia Min to walk slowly into the room, Shen Xiaoxiao said with a smile as she walked: "Auntie, we don't want them to be outsiders, let's talk quietly about our aunts and nephews." ”

Jia Min replied: "Okay, just our aunt and nephew, don't want anyone else." So he ordered the two girls behind him to stay outside the door and wait.

Jia Min led Shen Xiaoxiao into the door, and the first thing he saw was a glass screen from the West, and a picture of a maid was engraved on the glass. Circumventing the screen and leaning against the screen is a round mahogany table with tea sets and teapots, and four round stools. On the opposite wall hangs a large landscape painting, and a long table of rosewood is placed against the wall at the bottom, and a Taishi chair is placed on each side. A little farther away on each side of the wall, there is a large vase with a beautiful pattern on it, and a few beautiful peacock feathers inserted into the mouth of the bottle. A door opens on each side of the room to connect to the other two.

Jia Min took Shen Xiaoxiao to sit on the Taishi chair, pointed to the door on the right, and said, "That is the bedroom of me and your uncle, and the room on the left is my small study, where I usually write, paint, and paint." Now there are only two of us left here, tell me what the hell is going on, why did you suddenly remember that you would bring Baoyu to me, how dare your family let you take Baoyu to me so far?"

Seeing Jia Min asking, Shen Xiaoxiao told him the causes and consequences of coming to Yangzhou one by one, and also made up a Taoist aunt.

"Auntie, you don't know how dangerous the situation was at that time, I couldn't do it, and then a female Taoist priest appeared and saved me. Xian Gu is amazing, what did she say about it and I have a fate, told me not to be afraid to enter the palace boldly, said that she would help me, and after I stayed in the palace for ten years, Xian Gu would take me out of the palace. Auntie, look. Saying that, Shen Xiaoxiao took out three vermilion fruits from his sleeve and a fertility grass to show Jia Min.

"This time I came to Yangzhou was also instructed by the fairy girl, and when she gave me Zhu Guo and fertility grass, she said that I would know it when I arrived in Yangzhou. Sure enough, when I saw my aunt, I knew what they were for. ”

Jia Min listened to Shen Xiaoxiao's words and felt like she was dreaming for a while, isn't it a fantasy? But when Shen Xiaoxiao held the Zhu Guo and the fertility grass that emitted a little bit of light due to the venting of a little energy, she couldn't help but believe it. She opened her mouth and paused before saying, "I really met a fairy, what is the effect of these fairy fruits and fairy grasses?"

"Auntie, this is called Zhu Guo, who can cure diseases when he is sick, and can nourish his body when he is not sick. Aren't there three of them for my aunt and your family of three! And this herb is called fertility grass, and after my aunt is well and eats it, she will be guaranteed to get pregnant. You said that this grass was not for my aunt. ”

"What!" Jia Min immediately stood up and said to Shen Xiaoxiao excitedly: "Yuanchun, what you said is true, do you know that after my aunt gave birth to Daiyu four years ago, she invited many doctors and said that I lost too much vitality during childbirth, and it was impossible for me to get pregnant in the future if I hurt my body." ”

"Auntie, you must believe me, otherwise Auntie, you will eat a Zhuguo immediately. Shen Xiaoxin picked up a Zhu Guo and stretched out his hand to Jia Min.

Jia Min took Zhu Guo and looked at it: "If this thing is really useful, then Yuanchun, you have saved your aunt's life." As he spoke, he swallowed Zhu Guo in one gulp. I saw Jia Min close his eyes and feel it carefully. Soon Jia Min opened his eyes and said with a smile: "It's really a fairy fruit, although I don't know what the final effect is, but after a while, my body is a lot more relaxed, and the cough that I couldn't suppress seems to be gone." It's amazing!"

"Auntie, it takes a month for the medicinal effect of this Zhu Guo to be fully exerted, during which a lot of dirt will appear on the skin of the whole body from time to time, and this is the Zhu Guo to expel the impurities from the body, so there is no need to panic. This fertility herb should be eaten after a month, and the effect will be better when the body is recuperated. There are also two vermilion fruits here, one is eaten by my uncle when my uncle comes back in the evening, and the other is a vermilion fruit, my aunt called my cousin and let her eat it now. "Shen Xiaoxiao is also afraid of long nights and dreams, so it's better to eat such a baby immediately.

"It's okay, it's time to eat early. Jia Min got up and walked a few steps to the door, and commanded the girl at the door: "Go see if Miss is up, bring her to me whether she gets up or not." ”

Jia Min sat back in the chair and said to Shen Xiaoxiao: "Because I am not in good health and can't walk far, I let Daiyu live in the back room, close to me, and I can see her a few more times a day." But now, it's really God's mercy and sent one of you. Thank you Yuanchun. Saying that, Jia Min looked at Yuan Chun with tears in his eyes, his eyes were full of gratitude.
