Across the heavens in the Red Mansion

Chapter 171 to Yangzhou

Sitting on the uppermost deck of the fortune ship, Jia Lang heard the sound coming from behind, stood up slowly, faced Jia Lian and said with a smile: "Second Brother Lian has praised Wang Zhu too much, find a guard with some force to deal with it." It’s not a big deal for my second brother!”

"It's just that Second Brother Lian didn't want it before. If he wants to find it now, it's not just the skill of Wang Zhu's three-legged cat!"

For Jia Lian, Jia Lang's attitude is still very friendly. After all, Jia Lian is really good in dealing with people and things.

Jia Lian felt very comfortable listening to Jia Lang's words, and he also thought so in his heart. In his eyes, the existence of a warrior like Wang Zhu was nothing in front of an honorable family like his. After all, is a penny a hero? In the Han Dynasty, some powerful men also bowed their heads.

However, he was very polite and continued to praise Jia Lang's servant in person, which made Jia Lang feel much better in his heart. Although he didn't care about it very much, Wang Zhu was his after all. Even if a person no longer cares about fame, But when you are praised, you will inevitably feel a little happy inside.

After the topic was over, Jia Lang and Jia Lian both sat down, facing the wind.

"Brother Lian, what if Uncle Lin was just a false alarm this time?" Jia Lang said in a slightly low voice.

Hearing this, the joy on Jia Lian's face slowly dissipated, and he got serious before answering after a while: "Uncle Lin, if it was just a false alarm, that would be the best! Isn't it!"

"If not, you still have to do what your father says. This is what Uncle Lin promised!"

"Where's Sister Lin?" Jia Lang continued to ask in a slightly low voice.

Facing Jia Lian's questioning, Jia Lian continued: "Sister Lin will be the daughter of Jia's family from now on, and my wife and master will treat her as if they were her own! I will be no exception!"

"Brother Lang, if what Uncle Lin said is true, this is the best result for Sister Lin!"

He knew why Jia Lang asked this question. Jia Lian was also slightly aware of a common problem among scholars, which is that they have a strong sense of moral integrity. For example, his uncle Jia Zheng had not had deep contact with Jia Lang before. Although he did not know Jia Lang well, Whether Lang is such a scholar, judging from his recent contact with Jia Lang, his moral character is not bad.

Although Uncle Lin said in the letter that the Lin family property was handed over to the Jia family for Lin Daiyu, but from another perspective, it is not a plot to seize the inheritance of the orphan girl. In his eyes, Jia Lang is nothing but studying. Reading, because he has not been exposed to too much right and wrong, I am afraid that he will not be able to accept this behavior of the Jia family.

Jia Lang also smiled slightly when he heard this. What Jia Lian said is indeed true. The Jia family will treat Lin Daiyu exactly the same in the future. Most of his deaths were due to his lack of sustenance, and Jia Baoyu's caring attitude towards any beautiful woman, that is, the behavior of the central air conditioner.

Lin Daiyu's already sensitive heart became even more sensitive, and her already frail and sick body was overwhelmed by the mental blow. Under Mrs. Wang's prompting, Jia Baoyu's wife was chosen to be Xue Baochai, and she passed away innocently. .

Jia Lang raised his smiling face and said to Jia Lian, "Second Brother Lian, I think Uncle Lin may really be a false alarm this time, right?"

Seeing Jia Lang's smile, Jia Lian seemed to be really grateful to Uncle Lin in the dark, but it was just a false alarm, and he also laughed and said, "That's right!"

Immediately Jia Lian turned his gaze to the river, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. After all, family affection is more important than money, and there is still a threshold in his heart.

Seeing this, the satisfied Jia Lang also chatted about other topics for a while, and then said to Jia Lian: "Second brother Lian, if you have something to do, the younger brother should just say it directly. I can't say it in front of my sister-in-law. It's good that the second brother came!"

When Jia Lian heard this, she felt a little strange, and said in front of Wang Xifeng what was wrong, and he had to say it, and then said curiously: "What's wrong with Brother Lang, to put it bluntly, it's all about my brother's family!"

Immediately Jia Lang told about Wang Xifeng's lending usury in the name of Jia's house. Jia Lian frowned slightly when he heard this, and said a few words.Seeing this, Jia Lang was worried that Jia Lian would not take it seriously, so he exaggerated the seriousness of the matter, and even brought Jia Yuanchun, who was still in the palace, into it.

Sure enough, Jia Lian's eyes gradually became serious, and then he raised his hand to salute Jia Lang and thanked him: "Thank you, Brother Lang, otherwise, I wouldn't know it if things got serious for your sister-in-law!"

"Second brother Lian is very polite. In the words of the second brother, we are all brothers, so it's just a matter of raising our hands!" Jia Lang said with a smile in front of Jia Lian's solemn salute.

Come to think of it, after Yangzhou and his party go back, Jia Lian will take care of Wang Xifeng's matter.

Immediately, the two chatted a few more words on it, and then Jia Lian offered to leave: "I won't bother you, Brother Lang is interested in studying, so I'll go down first!"

Jia Lang also returned the gift. After Jia Lian went down, he was still thinking about Jia Lang's words, and he became closer to Jia Lang, and he believed what his father said that the flag of Jia's mansion might be carried in the future. Not a lot.

Jia Lian, who went down to the boathouse, was also bored, and then touched the dominoes with a few followers, Xing Er. Anyway, it would be impossible for him to study and review his lessons for fun like Jia Lang, so Jia Lian treated Jia Lang This kind of vigor is very admirable, no wonder he was able to win the exam, even if Brother Zhu is still alive, it is nothing more than that!
In the following days, Jia Lang lived a very comfortable life. Most of the time, he was reviewing his schoolwork to prepare for the coming spring. Other times, he sometimes watched Wang Zhu practice martial arts and gave guidance, and sometimes he also picked up a fishing rod and fished alone.

The days can be described as comfortable and pleasant.

However, the time on the ship also passed very quickly. The lucky ship was almost on its way to Yangzhou and was expected to arrive tomorrow. Because Lin Ruhai wanted to see Lin Daiyu for the last time, Jia Lang's ship was heading straight to Yangzhou. On the way Except for replenishing some daily necessities, it didn't stop.

Time has passed, and it has been more than a month since Jia Lang and others took the lucky boat to Yangzhou.

Finally, the lucky boat that Jia Lang and others took arrived in Yangzhou. This was considered fast. Compared with the ancient transportation, they had to drive all the way from the capital, and there were not many stops on the way. Only then could they reach this speed. Otherwise, they would be two It’s not surprising that the month has just arrived.

The lucky boat stopped at the Yangzhou Wharf, and all the people got off the boat, especially Lin Daiyu, who was already eager to return home at this time, but had a feeling of being close to home.

Soon, the servants of the Lin Mansion, who had been waiting at Yangzhou Pier for many days, came up to them. After a conversation, they led Jia Lang and his party into Yangzhou City.
