The Pearl of the Prosperous Age of Red Mansions

People don't have the opportunity, how to make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses is the right way, why bother to complain about yourself here, hurting mothers and grandmothers, and going to Qingxu Temple to pray for yourself in hot weather!Thinking of this, Jia Zhu wanted to slap herself a few times.

After thinking this through, Jia Zhu's health improved day by day. Originally, the root cause of his illness was overthinking, but now he was recovering rapidly. When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang came back from the Qingxu Contemplation, Jia Zhu's complexion was already rosy. Come to greet them both.

"My son!" Mother Jia was overwhelmed with surprise when she saw Jia Zhu, she hugged her, and then scolded Hong Shan and Lv Hu next to her, "I think the two of you are the most appropriate, why are you here today?" According to my brother's temperament, my body is so weak, what if the wind blows again?"

Jia Zhu smiled and supported Jia's mother and said, "I don't blame Sister Hongshan and Sister Luhu, it's because my grandson's body is really fine. The imperial doctor came to see him early this morning, and he specifically asked my grandson to move around more. It's good for your body."

When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang heard this, they became happy. Jia Mu sent someone to Qingxuguan and sent a lot of sesame oil money, and then pulled Jia Zhu to talk for a while, still afraid that he would be tired and make people feel uncomfortable. Move all of Jia Zhu's belongings to his warm pavilion, and ask Jia Zhu to live here temporarily, for fear that Jia Zheng will use his homework to scare Jia Zhu again.

At this moment, Mrs. Li sent someone to report the good news. Mrs. Li felt chest tightness unbearably after breakfast today. It happened that the imperial physician Zhang had just checked Jia Zhu's pulse, so she went to the eldest room to give Mrs. Li the same After checking the pulse, it turned out that Mrs. Li was three months pregnant.

Although it was a happy event, Mother Jia couldn't be happier. On this day... the old man had just passed away for three months, and the doctor's statement was somewhat vague. Was the child conceived by the old man before his death, or after his death... ...Mother Jia's face was very gloomy, if later...

"Invite Imperial Physician Zhang here and tell me that I'm not feeling well," Mother Jia ordered.

When the servant girl brought Dr. Zhang over, Mother Jia asked Mrs. Wang to take Jia Zhu down to settle down, and then sent Luhu and Hongshan to the Nuan Pavilion to clean up Jia Zhu's house. The servants were screened out, and Mother Jia asked calmly: "Physician Zhang, my eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant. This baby is the eldest son and grandson of our Rongguo Mansion. It must not be careless."

Doctor Zhang is an imperial doctor in the palace, and he is also a human being. Seeing Mother Jia's face seemed to be happy, there was a hint of displeasure in her words, and thinking of Mrs. Li's three-month pregnancy and Su Bai of Jia's Mansion is full, and Imperial Physician Zhang naturally understands what Jia's mother is worried about.He hurriedly bowed and said: "Don't worry, old lady, Eldest Madam's body is fine, it's just that she has exerted her mental strength a little, so she moved her fetus a little bit, otherwise, Eldest Madam will be pregnant for four months, and there will be no serious problems."

Jia's mother just smiled, no matter what the imperial doctor said is true or not, as long as it is four months, Jia Amnesty is not counted as filial piety.

People rewarded Dr. Zhang generously. Mother Jia sighed and leaned on the kang in a daze for a while. Thinking of this unworthy eldest son, Mother Jia was upset for a while. She simply stopped thinking about him and turned to Jia Zhu again. On his body, he remembered the hexagram, and now that Jia Zhu is in good health, he has answered the sentence and passed the hurdle, but, I don't know where this noble person is, who is it?

At this moment, someone came to report that Mrs. Lin's mansion had sent someone, and Mother Jia hurriedly asked someone to come in. It was the housekeeper's daughter-in-law of Lin's mansion who came, and she said with a smile on her face when she entered the old lady's room. : "Old lady, I'm so happy."

Lin Ruhai was promoted to Hangzhou Mansion Shi Taijun Xinnian nobleman signed

But it is said that someone from Lin's mansion came to announce the good news. This Lin's mansion is the mansion of Lin Ruhai, the son-in-law of Jia Min's east bed and the youngest daughter of Jia's mother.

Among Jia's four daughters, the eldest daughter Jiazi married to the Deng family in Jinling, the second daughter Jia Dun married to the Cui family in Yunnan, and the third daughter Jia Tian married to the Du family in Beijing.Only the youngest daughter, Jia Min, was intelligent since she was a child. She not only surpassed her three older sisters, but even her two elder brothers felt inferior.

When Jia Min grew older, Jia's mother chose a son-in-law for her from a thousand choices. The first three daughters were either married to family friends from the original place, or married to the old man's close friends. Regarding Jia Min, Jia's mother insisted on dismissing the old man's idea of ​​marrying Jia Min away, and selected Lin Ruhai, a new researcher from among the talents in Beijing.

This Lin Ruhai Jia Mu is 1 people satisfied. She looks handsome and Jia Min is a good pair, but she has a refined temperament. As expected of Tanhualang from a scholarly family, she was hand-picked as an editor at the Imperial Academy. What do you say when Jia Min married? Even if he can stay in Beijing for a few years, even if he goes to work with his husband in the future, Lin Ruhai is a civil official, so he can't follow the general's husband-in-law to eat sand in northern Xinjiang like Jia Tian!

The old lady made a final decision. After observing for a while, the old lady thought that Lin Ruhai was good. The marriage was formed, just as Jia's mother expected. Mother's most worrying heart disease, when she heard the good news this time, Jia's mother's first reaction was that Jia Min was pregnant, and she couldn't help showing a very happy look on her face.

But Jia's mother was disappointed. The so-called happy event was not what she expected, but that Lin Ruhai's three-year term as an editor had expired, and she had been handpicked as the magistrate of Hangzhou, and she was going to take the post with her relatives soon.

Although I was a bit disappointed, it was indeed a happy event to be promoted to the magistrate after all. Although Jia's mother was a little sad that her youngest daughter had to leave Beijing for Hangzhou, after all, Jia's mother knew in her heart that her son-in-law could not be a Beijing official all his life, and she also knew from the bottom of her heart. I have already made preparations, but Mother Jia is only worried about one thing, that is, her daughter has no sons and half daughters around her, and her mother's family in Beijing is relying on her, but when she arrives in Hangzhou, what if some people take the opportunity to make trouble for her daughter? ?Thinking of this, Jia's mother asked Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang to prepare congratulatory gifts, sent people to Lin's mansion, and sent a message to invite Jia Min to come to the mansion.

Two days later, Jia Min personally brought a gift back to her natal family to visit her family. Mother Jia took her daughter's hand, feeling extremely reluctant: "I thought about you four sisters, but now you are the only one with me, hey..."

Jia Min's eye circles were also red and said: "My daughter's unfilial piety makes my mother worry, and I can't be filial at her mother's knees." Jia Min was also reluctant to leave, after all, his father had just passed away, and his mother looked much older, so he couldn't share her mother's worries. Min felt really sad.

Seeing that Jia Min was also sad, Mother Jia restrained the reluctance on her face: "What are you talking about? It is right to marry and obey your husband. Don't think about it like this again." My youngest daughter has been intelligent since she was a child, and she has a lot of worries. She is not open-minded enough and always has some thoughts. The son-in-law's promotion is a happy event. If her daughter gets sick again because of the sorrow of separation, the gain will not be worth the loss.

Jia Min nodded when she heard the words, looked at the two sister-in-laws sitting next to her, and couldn't help laughing: "What the mother said is that the daughter is confused. The two sister-in-laws are pure and filial people. With them by your side, the daughter still What are you worried about?"

After hearing what Jia Min said, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang both smiled and said, "You can rest assured, the fourth girl." At dinner, because Mrs. Li was pregnant, she had long been exempted from serving meals, so Jia's mother asked her to rest first, and only Mrs. Wang was serving meals for Jia's mother.

After dinner, Mother Jia asked Mrs. Wang to leave as well, leaving only her and Jia Min in the room. Only then did Mother Jia talk about her hidden worries.

After hearing this, Jia Min's expression darkened. She and Lin Ruhai's husband and wife loved each other and played harmoniously. Lin Ruhai treated her wholeheartedly, and there was not even a connecting room. She was naturally happy. It's just that not having children is the most unspeakable pain in her heart.At this time, Mother Jia's meaning could not be more clear, but she took the initiative to take a concubine for her husband?When Jia Min thought of this, he felt even more sad.

The mother and daughter were silent for a while, but at this moment, they heard footsteps outside the courtyard, and the servant girl came in to report: "Old lady, Brother Zhu is back."

As soon as the words fell, the curtain had been opened, and Jia Zhu came in from the outside. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Jia Min sitting next to Jia Mu. Ann, little aunt Ann."

Jia Min also knew that Jia Zhu was seriously ill a while ago, now seeing his nephew with a rosy face and an angry face, Jia Min's sad mood improved a lot, he helped him up with a smile, looked at him carefully, and sighed: "You look better, but you've lost weight!"

Jia Zhu smiled embarrassingly, and Mother Jia nodded in agreement: "That's not true, this child is also, they say that the disease comes like a mountain, and the disease goes like a thread, he, he won't take more than a few doses of this medicine. If you know how to run outside, if your father saw it carefully, he will teach you a lesson again, and I don't care about you!"

Looking at her grandmother's loving eyes, Jia Zhu thought of her purpose of coming here, and couldn't help but bear it in her heart, but for the sake of the future, she will bear it no matter how much she can't bear. My aunt loves me more than me, so I don't care about Zhu'er when I see my little aunt!"

"You!" It's rare for Jia Zhu to be coquettish since Jia Zhu recovered from her illness. At this time, Jia's mother felt very grateful and comforted Jia Zhu for a while. My son looks like my aunt. When Er Zhu Er’s illness first started to improve, she looked very similar to you when she was a child. She looked like a little adult. It made my heart ache to see it. Today, it’s hard for me to look a little like before. It's all your second brother's fault, restraining him for nothing!" In front of her daughter, Jia's mother didn't save Jia Zheng any face.

Hearing the words, Jia Min loved Jia Zhu even more, but Jia Min didn't fully agree with her mother's dissatisfaction with her second brother: "Second brother is also doing it for Zhu'er's good, but the method is a bit biased, and mother must not coddle her." Pearl."

Mother Jia naturally knew this truth, but she felt sorry for her grandson, so she couldn't help sighing: "If your second brother has half the patience of your son-in-law, I will feel relieved."

When the topic came to Lin Ruhai, Jia Zhu's eyes lit up, and she quickly interjected: "Grandmother is right. As soon as I saw my uncle, I felt kind in my heart, and even endorsed it a little faster. Uncle is very knowledgeable, better than those in school." You are all good, sir, and Zilinqianer also said that my uncle's knowledge is much better than those great Confucians!"

Hearing that her husband received such high praise, the smile on Jia Min's face became a bit thicker. Touching his nephew's head, Jia Min thought in his heart that it would be great if she also had such a son.

Mother Jia's heart was moved when she heard it. Zhu'er was smart since she was a child, and she was able to read and write earlier than other children. , Even the bones of the body are broken, if she just protects her, I'm afraid it will be too late to regret it when she becomes a dandy in the future, but if she doesn't protect her, his father will be like that again, this is really a dilemma for her.

He also thought of the hexagrams before Qingxu Guanshen, which mentioned a nobleman. Could it be that the nobleman mentioned in the hexagrams is Uncle Lin?

Mother Jia thought about this, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was reasonable. Now that the old lady had just passed away, the two sons had to stay at home to keep their filial piety, and they had to change the way to toss Zhu'er. Coupled with the climate in central Beijing, the old lady was also in the same place when she was young Jinling married into the Jia family, and it took a while to get used to the northern weather after moving to the capital. Although decades had passed, Jia's mother still felt that Jinling was better and more pleasant than this side.

Seeing that Jia Mu seemed to be pondering something, Jia Zhu guessed Jia Mu's thoughts in her heart, and said again: "Little aunt, I just heard outside that my little uncle is going to Hangzhou? We are both in the south of the Yangtze River. How far is Hangzhou from Jinling?"

Jia Mu and Jia Min were both taken aback, Jia Min laughed and said, "Why did you think of Jinling?"

Jia Zhu replied: "Grandmother told me that our ancestral home is in Jinling, where we still have our old house, and our eldest aunt and uncle are also there. Zhu'er has never met my eldest aunt."

Hearing Jia Zhu mention the eldest daughter, Jia's mother also sighed. Jinling is far away from the capital, and the eldest daughter has never returned to the province since she got married. I have seen it, and I don't know if my daughter is doing well as said in the letter.

Jia Min also thought of her elder sister, looking at her mother's face, she said, "Mother, don't worry, Eldest Sister is a blessed person, not to mention that Jinling is not far from Hangzhou, and my daughter hasn't seen Eldest Sister for many years."

Mother Jia patted Jia Min's hand and nodded, then said to Jia Zhu, "Does Zhu Er want to go to Jiangnan with your aunt and uncle?"

Jia Min was taken aback when she heard the words, how could her mother have such an idea?And Jia Zhu's eyes were full of joy after being stunned for a moment, and she held Jia's mother's hand and said in surprise, "Are you going with my uncle? Can I still go to Jinling to meet my eldest aunt?"

Jia Mu smiled and took his hand: "Can Grandma still lie to you? Why, you don't want to go?"

"Of course I am willing, it's just father and mother..." Jia Zhu was very excited when his wish was fulfilled, but at this time he couldn't show it too obviously, so he pretended to shrink back.

When Jia's mother saw Jia Zhu mentioning Jia Zheng's timid expression, she resolutely decided to let him leave the house to relax, and said with a straight face: "What are you afraid of? I am here. He asks you every day." Xue Wen, now following your uncle, what else is there to worry about!"

Jia Min hurriedly said: "Mother, this matter needs a long-term plan. Of course, I am willing to take Zhu'er, but Zhu'er's health has just improved, and the journey to Hangzhou is exhausting. Maybe he can bear it?" Zhu, but after all, Jia Zhu is the only male in Rongguo Mansion combined. If something happens, how can she explain to her mother, brother and sister-in-law!

Jia's mother had already made up her mind at this time, and she firmly believed in the hexagrams that Lin Ruhai was Jia Zhu's nobleman, so she listened to Jia Min's words and said with a smile: "You are the most careful, and I can rest assured that I leave it to you." .”

Jia Min couldn't hold back what the old lady had finalized, so she had to secretly tell herself to be careful with Jia Zhu on the road. Mother Jia solved a big problem in her heart, and she was in a good mood.In the end, the only one who was unhappy was Mrs. Wang who was notified later.

No matter how unhappy Mrs. Wang felt, Jia Zhu's departure from Beijing was a foregone conclusion.

5th

Flesh and blood relatives Jia Min pity young nephew Fang Chen Jia Zhu looking for congratulatory gifts

Last time, when Jia Mu told Jia Zhu to follow Jia Min, Lin Ruhai and his wife to the south of the Yangtze River, Jia's mansion was also busy. Not only did Jia Zhu have to prepare all the things that accompanied him, but he also had to prepare a proper person to serve him, boy what? But don't worry, Jia's mother trusts Jia Min and his wife very much, but the maid who is close to her can't be sloppy.

After much deliberation, Mother Jia still felt that she was most at ease with Hongshan and Lvhu. For Hongshan, Jiamu felt that she was more careful and stable. It's not a family-born child; but Luhu, in Jia's mother's heart, she is straightforward and has no messy thoughts, she is a girl who will protect Zhu'er from being wronged, and she is a family-born child.

Jia Zhu heard Jiamu say that he wanted to take Hongshan and Luhu to Hangzhou together, and he was more inclined to Hongshan in his heart. Although he was not born in a family, he was a solid person. , he still remembers it in his heart, this girl has a lot of heart.Therefore, although Hong Shan and Lu Hu seemed to outsiders to be more familiar with the eloquent Lu Hu and Jia Zhu, Jia Zhu didn't think so.Speaking of trust, he would rather choose Hongshan, but the future will be long, and when he brings Hangzhou, he will try the two girls slowly to know which one is the best.

After deciding on a date to leave Beijing, Jia Zhu calculated that he could stay at home for five more days, so he spent most of his time with Mrs. Wang and her younger sister, Yuan Chun, who was just over one year old. Worried about Jia Zhu's body, and even more worried about Lu Hu who followed her, she took a chance to beat her up. Lu Hu felt aggrieved, and became more dissatisfied with Hong Shan.

Five days later, Jia Zhu left the capital with Lin Ruhai and his wife. As the journey gradually got farther and farther away, Jia Zhu's feeling of leaving home finally faded away, followed by longing and fighting spirit for the road ahead.

After a few days of relaxing his mind, Jia Zhu slowly cleared his mind. Five years later, the emperor will personally conquer the northern border. live!

Jia Zhu was slowly thinking about what to do when he arrived in Hangzhou. Jia Min saw Jia Zhu silent in the cabin with a blank expression on his face. He thought that Jia Zhu was still thinking about his family, so he ordered someone to prepare refreshments, and the aunt and nephew chatted. When he got up, Jia Min aimed to enlighten Jia Zhu's emotions, but slowly found that Jia Zhu was a little more precocious and stable than before. Thinking of his mother's sentence that Jia Zhu resembled himself, he couldn't help but feel a little more emotional. Very distressed.

And Jia Zhuben respected his little aunt very much. Seeing her caring about him so much at this time, he was very moved. In the next few days, the aunt and nephew got along day and night. However, what I have learned is almost all stereotypes written by ethnologists and professional teachers, which are very boring, but these boring things are added to the fun after Jia Min talks about them. Jia Zhu has also grown a lot in the past few days. At least, he secretly thought that what he said to his grandmother in praise of his uncle that day was not inferior to his aunt, and he was even more respectful and close to Jia Min.

Lin Ruhai was also very happy to see their aunt and nephew getting along so well. He knew that his wife had always been depressed because of the children, and now that he had Jia Zhu as a nephew, he could also talk about the pain in his heart.

There were no troubles along the way, but when we arrived in Hangzhou, there was already a banquet waiting for the reception, and the entertainment could not be avoided, so Lin Ruhai went to the entertainment without mentioning it. Things were arranged one by one, and the stewards, wives, maids, and boys were assigned duties.

Jia Min set aside a yard for Jia Zhudan. Hong Shan and Lv Hu were both the big maids beside Jia Zhu. A clever boy was given to Jia Zhu.

Lin Ruhai has just taken over the job and is busy with official duties. The relationship between superiors and subordinates is complicated and there are many local factions. The old accounts left by his predecessor have to be settled. He is so busy that he has no time to teach Jia Zhu homework. Jia Zhu originally only used the banner of teaching homework. He just wanted to come to Hangzhou, so he didn't care about it, but Lin Ruhai took it to heart and wanted to find a suitable teacher for Jia Zhu, but there was no suitable candidate for a while, so the matter was delayed.

Jia Zhu took the opportunity to propose that he wanted to learn riding and archery. Lin Ruhai and Jia Min also agreed. After all, Jia Zhu's body is too weak, and he can strengthen his body by practicing riding and archery.

And Jia Min's side is not idle, the Lin family's ancestral home is in Gusu, and the old house in Gusu and the old house in Beijing must be looked after by safe people. Naturally, there is a shortage of manpower here. Yazi bought some, these people don't know the basic character, Jia Min is naturally very careful, but fortunately there is a trustworthy nanny in charge, so Jia Min is more relaxed.

No one can help Jia Min to share the human relationship. Hangzhou is located in the prosperous south of the Yangtze River, and it is also the place where Kampot is produced every year. Local officials, big and small, have contacts. Some of them are not high-ranking, but they are real I have a very close relationship with Da Nei, so I can't be sloppy. The men are socializing outside, and the wives at home are not idle. Although Jia Min is still in the filial age, there are reasons to shirk the socializing, but if people don't go, the etiquette is absolutely indispensable. Because people can't come, the ceremony has to be very careful and careful to be picked up by others, so it is even more distressing.

Seeing that Jia Zhu was a little anxious in her heart, she urged Jia Min to take care of her body several times, but Jia Min only smiled but remained the same. No matter how anxious Jia Zhu was, there was nothing she could do, so she could only ask the cook to cook more nutritious rice for Jia Min. Soup to adjust.

Jia's mansion also attaches great importance to these nourishing soups and waters on weekdays. Hongshan recognized the godmother in Jia's mansion as a cook, so she dabbled a lot about it, and Jia Zhu handed over all this matter to Hongshan. However, when Luhu saw it, she felt quite dissatisfied, so she also thought of doing something to suppress Hongshan's limelight.

Jia Zhu had just returned from shooting arrows in the garden that day, and while serving tea, Lu Hu said, "I heard from Nanny Tang today that the sixth day of the next month is my wife's birthday."

"If you don't mention it, I will almost forget it." Jia Zhu took a sip of tea and began to think in her heart.

Lu Hu hurriedly said again: "Brother, what do you want to give Madam?"

Jia Zhu nodded, glanced at Luhu and said, "Do you have an idea? Let's hear it."

Lu Hu waited for Jia Zhu to ask her, and smiled when she heard this: "I heard from Lin Xing that today is the first day of the famous 'Dou Qi Luo' in Hangzhou, and my brother will go out for a walk, maybe I will Got an idea!"

"Dou Qiluo?" The name sounds fresh, since it has the word Qiluo, it must be related to the most famous silk in Hangzhou, and Jia Zhu is also interested.

Seeing the brilliance in Jiazhu's eyes, Luhu became more energetic, and hurriedly said: "No, the name is also strange. At first I wondered what Qiluo was, but it turned out to be silk or satin cloth." These, according to Lin Xing, this Douqiluo not only brought out the treasures from the shops of each silk and satin shop, but also had a special poetry competition. Can you make your wife happy?"

Winning the first prize at the poetry competition?It sounded tempting, Jia Zhu shook her head secretly in her heart, this girl thinks too highly of him, Jiangnan has always been full of talents, people say that out of ten champions nine are from Jiangnan, trying to win the first prize is tantamount to fantasy, but After listening to Luhu's narration, Jia Zhu became quite interested in Dou Qiluo.

Knowing that Jia Min wants to go out, this is the first time that Jia Zhu has offered to go out for a stroll. Jia Min naturally agreed, and sent four more guards to follow Jia Zhu. Jia Zhu felt ostentatious, and he was not three Boy, why do you need eight nursing homes, but Jia Min didn't let go: "Zhu'er also heard about this Dou Qiluo, and now because of it, Hangzhou City is already overcrowded, and every yamen is afraid that something might go wrong. There are so many people It is easy to cause chaos, and I still feel that eight people are not enough!"

As soon as Jia Zhu felt that what her aunt said was also reasonable, she agreed, and immediately Jia Zhu left the back house with eight guards and servants.Fearing that it would be inconvenient for many people to ride horses on the street, and Jia Zhu was impatient to sit in a sedan chair, they walked to the street.

The street was indeed bustling with people, not only were there a dazzling array of silks, satins and fabrics, but also some vendors took advantage of this opportunity to sell other items, making it even more lively.

Jia Zhu watched it with great interest. He had never been to the south of the Yangtze River in his previous life, and he seldom left Jia's mansion to go out for a stroll. These were new to him, but although they were fresh and interesting, they were street things after all, and he bought them for fun. Playing around is okay, but if it's a birthday gift, it's not appropriate.

While walking around, Lin Xing leaned over to Jia Zhu and said, "Brother, in half an hour it will be the first match of Dou Qiluo, do you want to go and have a look?"

Jia Zhu had never seen this kind of silk and satin fighting technique before, so he nodded in agreement. Lin Xing led the way, and a group of people walked southeast. After walking for about half a stick of incense, there were more and more people. It was not far from the place, and the eight guards tightly protected Jia Zhu in the middle, and the eight were as tall and burly as a wall, but Jia Zhu was not bumped by the passing crowd.

When they arrived at the meeting place, people had gathered around several times, and they couldn’t get in if they tried to squeeze in. Fortunately, there were many restaurants nearby, and it would be clear if they looked down from the upstairs window, but they still came late, and the upstairs was already full of seats. , the shopkeeper saw Jia Zhu and his party of more than a dozen people, although they were dressed plainly, they looked absolutely extraordinary, so he hurried over and bowed: "Young master, I'm really sorry, all the seats upstairs are reserved for today."

Jia Zhu felt a little regretful in her heart, but she didn't force it. She smiled and was about to speak, but Lin Xing refused. He stared at the shopkeeper with a sneer and said, "Do you know who our young master is?" !you……"

Before Lin Xing finished speaking, Jia Zhu stopped him. He looked at Jia Zhu's face and dared not speak, but there was aggrieved eyes.

Jia Zhu said to the shopkeeper: "The kid at home is rude, don't blame the shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Don't dare." Then he looked at Jia Zhu and the others hesitantly. Just now Lin Xing's words fell into his ears, and the shopkeeper wondered who the young master was. If he really offended someone who shouldn't be offended, he couldn't bear the consequences.

But before he could speak again, Jia Zhu had already turned around and walked downstairs. As soon as he reached the stairs, he saw a middle-aged woman walking out of a private room, and hurried to Jia Zhu and his party and asked, "But Lin Young master Jia from your lord's house?"

The woman who spoke was the housekeeper's daughter-in-law of Liang Daotai's mansion, because Liang Daotai's wife had also been in contact with Jia Min many times, and she was always with her, so Jia Zhu knew it.

The woman said with a smile on her face: "Although it was noisy outside, it happened that our wife was reluctant to part with the splendor of Dou Qiluo, so she booked a private room upstairs, and it was a coincidence that she met the young master. Our wife said, It’s the first time for the young master to watch the Dou Qiluo when he first came to Hangzhou, so you can’t go back disappointed, our wife also said that although there are female relatives in the private room, but the young master is still young, so you don’t need to shy away from these things, what do you think, young master?”

The other party had already said this, and Jia Zhu couldn't shirk it, so she agreed, because there were female relatives included, the eight guards were all outside the private room with the guards of the Daotai Mansion, Lin Xing also joined the boy In one place, only Jia Zhu entered the private room.

The level of this stage theory is the fourth grade, which is half higher than that of Lin Ruhai's magistrate from the fourth grade. The exchanges between the two prefectures are normal, but it is rare to invite Jia Zhu into the private room today. Jia Zhu is also thinking about it Why is Mrs. Daotai doing this, but seeing Mrs. Daotai looking at him lovingly, with kind eyes, Jia Zhu couldn't help but stand on end.

6th

Rescue orphans and widows, form a good relationship, be a mother and a young lady, willing to be a maidservant

But Mrs. Daotai in Yajian had a kind look on her face, and she helped Jia Zhu up herself when she saw the ceremony, and sighed for a while: "Now you look much stronger than when I saw you last time. I think you just came from the north. The water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River are not adjusted, but you can still live in it now?"

Jia Zhu replied, "Madam, please worry about it. I'm used to this place, so it's fine."

Mrs. Daotai said: "Since this is the case, you can't be sloppy. You are still young. If you fall into the root cause of the disease, it will be bad. Dr. Zhao, who came to my house for a doctor the other day, has a good pulse. I will send someone to come tomorrow." Invite him to go and have a look at Mr. Lin's residence."

"Thank you Madam for your kindness, but I have to report this matter to my aunt and uncle, but I can't decide." Jia Zhu quickly declined.

Mrs. Daotai smiled and didn't force it, and said instead: "Speaking of it, it's also fate. Both my master and your uncle came from the school of Zhang Dashi, and when I was in Beijing, I visited the old lady. You were just one year old at the time, I remember at that time I felt that you looked thinner than ordinary children, and in a blink of an eye you were so big."

It was the first time Jia Zhu knew that this Mrs. Daotai had such a relationship with her family, so she laughed and said, "It's hard for Mrs. to remember, but I can't remember."

Mrs. Daotai smiled more kindly: "You were only so young at that time, so it's rare to remember. Hey, it's also sad to say that I haven't been in touch with you for so many years. I'm afraid the old lady won't remember me, but It was also a chance given by God to let your aunt follow Lord Lin to Hangzhou. Everyone said that brothers are of one mind and work together to break the gold. This fellow is also considered a brother. Since my master knew that Lord Lin took over as the prefect of Hangzhou, he was very happy. God Poor man, I brought you here again, if there is anything unsatisfactory in the future, just come to me."

Jia Zhu hurriedly said: "Ma'am, you are serious, my aunt and uncle treat me very well, so what's not to like?"

Mrs. Daotai shook her head and said with a smile: "Your aunt is a careful person, of course I know, but she has no children under her knees, so naturally there will be omissions."

Jia Zhu's face darkened when she heard that, if she said that the previous words were just a little out of place, this sentence is simply unreasonable, what is the purpose of saying these words as Mrs. Daotai?

Thinking about Mrs. Daotai's intentions in her heart, Jia Zhu still had an annoyed look on her face, she stood up and made a bow, and said in a stiff voice that she wanted to leave because she was unwell.

Mrs. Daotai held back for a while and saw that Jia Zhu was determined to leave, so she didn't stop her. Watching Jia Zhu leave the restaurant with people, the kindness on Mrs. Daotai's face slowly dissipated, and after a flash of sarcasm, she revealed Be proud.Although he looks like a little adult, he is still a child after all, he can't hold his breath in his heart, he can tell whatever he thinks on his face, he is not as good as his own Yinger, it seems that the descendants of the Jia family are just like that.But this is also good, the child is stupid, so he can win over...

Not to mention that Mrs. Daotai set up a trick in her heart, but said that Jia Zhu left the private room and took Lin Xing and the nurses downstairs. The waiter downstairs was chasing a little beggar. Notice that Lin Da, the nurse standing behind Jia Zhu, reacted quickly, grabbed the little beggar by the collar and picked him up when he was almost hit by the little beggar.

The little beggar left his legs off the ground, his face turned pale with fright, but his eyes were still wide open, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Let go of your stinky hands!"

Lin Da threw him on the ground, stared at his dirty clothes with distaste, smacked his lips, and said nothing.

But the little beggar refused to accept it. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a cry for help coming from the alley next to him. Hearing this, the little beggar ran away, and soon a group of people gathered around to watch, pointing and pointing. Lin Da asked the others: "There are many people, be careful to protect the safety of the young master."

Jia Zhu was a little curious, so she asked Lin Xing to go over to see what was going on. Lin Xing was also full of curiosity, and hurriedly squeezed into the crowd, watching what happened ahead, while listening to the discussions of the people next to him. .

Not long after, Lin Xing returned to Jia Zhu's side. Lin Xing was always clever, and at this time, he combined what he saw and heard just now vividly, and said to Jia Zhu: "Brother, I encountered a rare situation today. It's okay, just now there is a sedan chair of a lady in the alley, but unfortunately the lady has been sitting in the sedan chair and can't see her face, but the women outside are all very thick, and they are holding a little girl, bro Didn't you see that the little beggar who didn't have eyes just now grabbed the old woman like crazy to save the little girl, but was kicked aside by the old woman."

"Oh? But that little girl bumped into that young lady?" Before Jia Zhu could speak, curious people beside him who were also attracted by Lin Xing's words couldn't help discussing and guessing.

Lin Xing became even more excited when he heard this: "If it's just a collision, it's not a rare thing. What's rare is that the little girl is the young lady's half-sister!"

After saying that, Jia Zhu showed a surprised expression, but the people next to him all had a look of understanding, and said one after another: "Who is the Tao? It turned out to be the Qin family. Hey, what a crime."

Hearing what Lin Xing and the people around him said, Jia Zhu couldn't help being even more confused, so she asked Lin Xing, "Oh? As a younger sister, why are you related to the little beggar?"

Lin Xing hurriedly said: "It's a rare thing here. I just found out that this little girl is the second lady of the Qin family. This Qin family is the owner of the largest brocade workshop in Hangzhou, and they are also responsible for the imperial business. The status and the cost of fabrics in the palace are all supplied by the Qin family. The Qin family was not so prominent. Back then, there was a Chen family in Hangzhou that was on par with the Qin family. One daughter, the Qin family came to propose marriage when they saw this, since Miss Chen married into the Qin family, the Qin family has become the only one in Hangzhou City!"

Lin Xing took a breath and continued: "It's a pity that Miss Chen's life is not good. She married into the Qin family for many years and has no success. However, the noble concubine Mr. Qin accepted became pregnant within a year and gave birth to a son. In the second year, another daughter was born, and this daughter was the lady in the sedan chair just now. This lady was three years old, and this concubine gave birth to the only daughter, that is, the little girl just now. "
