Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

At this time, the land official road was not like Wen Jiao's previous life, the cement road and asphalt road were solid and smooth, without any big dust and sand.Not even the bluestone and brick roads that are common in TV dramas—even the ground in some poorer state capitals is not completely paved with bricks and stones, let alone official roads.

So now whether it is an official road or a small road, they are all very simple big dirt roads.In order to keep this unadorned dirt road free from any small stones and clods, the government responded by spreading soil.When the weather is sunny and there is no wind, it is okay, but with a little wind, the dust will be stuck on the face of the rider. Once it rains and the school is off, the road will be muddy and difficult.

So if people travel far away by land, they will really be covered with dust. Even if they sit in a carriage, they can’t avoid the dirt coming in. But Wen Jiao resolutely decided to go to Suzhou by water, and then go to Jinling by land. From Jinling to Yangzhou port, return to Beijing by water.

There is no other reason. It is too inconvenient to go out in this era, and the weather is just right at this time, neither hot nor cold, so I just drop by to play one more place. Besides, I don’t know when I will come to Suzhou and Hangzhou next time.Jinling is the ancient capital of several dynasties. If you don’t go shopping and enjoy your life, how can you be worthy of yourself who has traveled through bad luck?

In addition, in the dowry of the Lin family and Wen Jiao, several estates were located in Jinling, and they happened to stop by for inspection. If there was anything wrong, the people on the estate should change and copy.There are also a few places entrusted by Mrs. Bai to look at, so I can have an explanation when I return to Beijing.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, August 40th is an auspicious day. The people in Lin's residence were divided into four groups. In one group, the big housekeepers Lin Ping and Madam Xu led three to forty people, most of them were housekeepers and second- and third-class maids, to transport big The luggage items and the things in the warehouse, go directly to Kyoto, settle down first, and clean the house.The Zheng family and the four aunts of the Zhou family, the Shen family and the Cao family were also in this group.

The second group was Lin Haiwen, Jiao Daiyu and Ge Niang's wife Lu Qing, who took the second housekeeper Lin An and the maid and nanny who served her personally, and most of the young and strong family members of the Lin family as guards, returning to their ancestral home and playing on the road.Therefore, Lin Hai overthrew the Zhen family and several high-ranking officials in the salt smuggling case. Fearing that someone would retaliate, the emperor authorized the six secret guards who followed Lin Hai to continue to protect Lin Hai until Lin Hai arrived in Beijing.

The third group is the people who stayed in Yangzhou to look at the house, and seven or eight people left behind to prepare hot pots and stoves, watch the gate and guard the courtyard, and wait for Lin Haiwenjiao to return to Yangzhou to rest for two or three days before going to Kyoto together. of.

The fourth batch was about ten people who went out a few days in advance to clean the old house in Suzhou.

Since Wen Jiao took a boat from Kyoto to Yangzhou last time and became dizzy from seasickness, she has never been seasick again, let alone Lin Hai and Daiyu.On the contrary, He Niangzi and Lu Qing had never walked the waterway, and they were a little dizzy, but they were in good physical condition, not as in Wen Jiao's situation at that time, but they were all pale and unable to eat.

Wen Jiao heard that the two of them were seasick, so he hurriedly went to see them in the cabin, and said guiltily, "It's all me, I insisted on dragging you and Qing'er to Suzhou together, I thought I would also see the scenery and play along the way." Playing, who would have forgotten about seasickness."

Ge Niangzi waved her hands and smiled: "It's okay, even if you go directly to Beijing, you still have to go by water, so it's better to get used to it at this time, and it will be more comfortable to be on the boat for nearly a month."

Fortunately, the journey from Yangzhou to Suzhou is only two or three days away.After getting off the boat, Wen Jiao saw that Mrs. Ge, who was always in excellent health, was helped down by her mother-in-law, so she stepped forward to say a few words of concern.

Daiyu grew taller this summer, and now she is as tall as Lu Qing, and she also talked to Lu Qing beside her, comforting Lu Qing with laughter, she looked like a big sister.Seeing that the carriages were ready over there, the five of them got into the carriages and headed to the old house of the Lin family in Suzhou City first.

Suzhou city is the residence of the governor of Jiangsu. The governor is the second rank, and the secretary of the Ministry of punishment is the second rank. It stands to reason that the two families should pay a visit to each other, have a meal and drink tea, and draw in each other's feelings. take care of.If there are those who are more capable of drilling camps, they will pull people to greet them at the port and say some nasty things.

It's a pity that the previous governor of Jiangsu was sacked in the illegal salt case. At the level of the entire Jiangsu province, the chief envoy and the officials who can speak according to the procuratorate, there is only one chief envoy who is innocent. He was appointed as the new governor of Jiangsu, and now he is so busy with the newly formed administrative team that he didn't even know that Lin Hai's family had arrived in Suzhou.

So Lin Haiwenjiao was able to enter the city quietly without alarming anyone.When they arrived at their home, the officials of Suzhou City realized it, but the greeting cards they sent up coincidentally expressed the same feelings. They were basically polite and polite, but there was no sense of intimacy.

After reading a few greeting cards, Wen Jiao wondered, "Is it true that the officials in Suzhou City are so... so upright... so disrespectful of power?"

Lin Hai had already finished reading it with Wen Jiao's hands, and smiled without saying a word.Seeing him like this, Wen Jiao rolled his eyes, understood, and said with a narrow smile: "I know, our master is too powerful, they dare not get close, and they may have some reason to be arrested by Mr. Lin, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment , escorted to Kyoto."

If there is anything wrong with Lin Hai's salt smuggling case, it is that he has offended a lot of people.In the officialdom, whose family is not related to each other?Zhen's family is also the old relative of Lin Hai's former father-in-law, Jia's family, and I don't know what everyone in Jia's family thinks of Lin Hai.

Moreover, the Lin family has a small population. Except for the direct branch Lin Haiwai, none of the cousins ​​has become an official.The natal families of the previous generations of wives are also normal now.Although there was a teacher in Beijing in the same year, Lin Hai had some good relationships before, but who knows who the officials who are dismounted this time are related to?A few years ago, the officialdom was reshuffled, and Lin Hai's friends in the same year also had a tragic death.

After all the calculations, the only person Lin Hai can rely on in the officialdom is the Su family.For the rest, I have to go back to Beijing to meet Duandi.

Seeing that Wen Jiao was not worried at all, Lin Hai was just teasing him, so he couldn't help asking: "Madam is not worried at all?" Your husband and I have offended half of the officialdom.

Wen Jiao said with a smile: "There is nothing to worry about. Our family has always acted rightly and walked rightly. In a peaceful and prosperous age, do officials who have made meritorious service to the court still feel guilty? I naturally know that the officialdom is intricate and intertwined with interests, but this After all, it’s not the right way. The laws of the country are put there, if they have complaints, why don’t they go to Shuntian Mansion to beat Dengwen Drum?”

Hearing Wen Jiao's words, Lin Hai seemed to despise the injustice of today's officialdom. Although the words were straightforward and somewhat youthful, he was still quite surprised, and praised: "I didn't expect Madam to have such ambition, but she is called a husband." Impressed."

Wen Jiao was a little embarrassed by the praise, and said with a smile: "Crooked ways, after all, they can only be short-lived. I just said it casually. It is clear that the master did not harm people for no reason. They are not willing to come to us. They are not blessed. I still I think it's annoying for them to come, so we just stay quietly for a few days, wouldn't it be good? It just so happens that the master is also taking us for a stroll."

Lin Hai said great goodness.So after resting that night, on the second and third day, Lin Hai took Wen Jiao and Daiyu out to wander around Suzhou City.Wen Jiao didn't know if Daiyu had intentions, and when she went out, she only took people around with Ge Niangzi and Lu Qing, leaving Lin Hai and Wen Jiao alone.

But Wen Jiao didn't know that when Wen Jiao was on the boat, Daiyu took advantage of Wen Jiao's time to see Mrs. Ge, went to Lin Hai in private, and taught, "Daddy, it's so hard to go out, this time you have to take your wife for a walk. You even forgot your wife’s birthday this year. Although your wife doesn’t blame you, it’s because she is considerate. You can’t bully her. My wife likes to eat sweets on weekdays. She likes lake blue, light onion, rose pink, carmine, and arsenal. I love Biyu Baiyu. I don’t know if Dad knew this before, but now you must remember.”

Lin Hai felt that what Daiyu said was reasonable, so he agreed repeatedly.He also promised Daiyu that he would never forget Wen Jiao's birthday again, and that he would keep it firmly in mind and prepare gifts every year.

Seeing that Lin Hai agreed, Daiyu smiled and said, "Now I feel at ease. My wife has treated me so well, I have nothing to repay, so I can only ask my father to take good care of my wife, and don't let my wife be wronged."

So Wen Jiao was surprised to find that Lin Hai was very considerate these two days.In fact, Lin Hai is a considerate husband. When he is not busy, he will choose clothes and jewelry for her in the morning, help her thrush her makeup, and bring her vegetables when eating.Play chess, read books and debate together, and secretly let her some.On the bed/bed, Wen Jiao's feelings are also taken into consideration, trying to achieve harmony between the two of them.And as long as he finds that Wen Jiao is a little bit better on weekdays, he will praise him sincerely.

Moreover, Lin Hai has never seen the four aunts in the backyard since Wen Jiao started his career.Although Wen Jiao thought he did not treat the four of them badly materially, he did not let them come out to pay his respects on purpose, and did not want Lin Hai to think of them.But if Lin Hai took the initiative to go to see Auntie, she would have no position to stop her.

I remembered that when I read the original book, even though Sister Feng was strict, Jia Lian still ran into the house with a foul smell, and even Baoyu secretly tried with Xiren, "settle accounts" with Qin Zhong, and wash with Bihen for two or three hours. bath.The two of them are still the most decent men in the original book.Like Lin Hai, who has been guarding Wen Jiao honestly for at least a year. Wen Jiao thinks that Lin Hai can be regarded as a good husband of 24 filial piety in ancient times.

As long as Wen Jiao decides the big and small things in the family, he will not say anything bad.This time I was leaving for Beijing, and when I heard her say that I wanted to go to Jinling, I agreed without waiting for her to say the reason.Even when Wen Jiao's comments on current events were more eloquent, Lin Hai would just laugh it off.

But the two of them have never been like this before. Lin Hai held her hand gently, just like a young couple who just fell in love in modern times. Lin Hai would point to this place and say that the old duck soup in this family is the best. One family had the freshest anchovy shrimp, so Wen Jiao was asked which one he would like to eat for lunch.

He would also take her to a stall that said he had been making plum cakes here for decades, and bought two plum cakes, one for each person, and it was sweet to the mouth.Passing by the most prestigious Jinyu Pavilion in Suzhou, he insisted on going in with her, picked out a transparent jasper bracelet, and put it on her wrist.

After leaving the Jinyu Pavilion, Wen Jiao touched the warm bracelet in his hand, and murmured: "Tomorrow there will be news in Suzhou again. Mr. Lin, Shang Shu of the Ministry of Punishment, is actually a wife-loving madman in private..."

Lin Hai didn't hear clearly, so he leaned closer and asked with a smile, "What did Madam say?"

Wen Jiao raised his head and smiled, "I said my husband is really kind."

Although Wen Jiao's voice was not loud, and even the mother and servant who followed behind her didn't hear it, Lin Hai's ears still slowly turned suspicious red.

When Wen Jiao was happily shopping and eating snacks with Lin Hai, although Queen Su in the palace could only lie on the bed, she also had a smile on her face.The Changle Palace is busily cleaning up the newborn fourth prince.
