Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

When the Jia family returned to Jinling this time, they also traveled by water.

When everyone was about to board the ship, Baoyu saw Liu Xianglian rushing over.

Time was running out, and Liu Xianglian didn't have much to say to Baoyu, she only said that she had already discussed with her aunt, and that his aunt would propose marriage to Mrs. You on her behalf.

Baoyu was overjoyed, and seeing that most of the rest of the family had boarded the boat, he had no time to talk to Liu Xianglian. He could only board the boat in a hurry, and then stood at the stern of the boat and stared blankly at Liu Xianglian who was getting farther and farther away from him.

Suddenly, Baoyu saw a man and a woman who were seeing him off at Jia's house. Lin Hongyu was begged by Wang Xifeng.

When the Jia family had an accident, Lin Hongyu was the girl who followed Wang Xifeng, and she also suffered a little.But Jia Yun started to do business with Chongyu early on, and the affairs of Jia's family did not involve too many side branches like him, so he and Lin Hongyu were not disturbed by this matter soon.

Jia Yun and Lin Hongyu had met each other in the Grand View Garden before, and they had some affection for each other.

In the past, the two of them had taboos and didn't dare to publicize it, but after the Jia family incident, Lin Hongyu's parents saw that Jia Yun was now someone they knew who had some ability, and they also had a heart for Hongyu, so they agreed. .

As for Jia Yun's mother, seeing Hongyu comforting herself during this time, and helping to deal with things, she was very straightforward and quick, and she was very satisfied with this prospective daughter-in-law.The marriage of the two is set.

But these precious jades don't know, but seeing the two standing together at this moment, they recall many things in the past.

Those who used to be flattering and flattering by his side are no longer seen.

Since he was a child, because he was the only one who had jade, and later on, the loneliness that was born in his heart was rarely understood, and it is particularly strong at this moment.

Musk Moon's voice suddenly came from behind, he was worried about the strong wind here, and advised him to go back to the cabin and rest.

Baoyu looked at Sheyue, but blankly remembered Xiren who had already made a marriage contract with Jiang Yuhan, and remembered that there were so many lovely girls around her back then, but now only Sheyue was left.

He thought so hard that his heart ached unbearably, and he felt a mouthful of fishy sweetness in his throat.

He didn't dare to publicize it, lest others would worry.Because he was close to the water, he simply spat into the water, and saw that the water really fainted faintly scarlet.

The approaching Musk Moon saw it, and was so frightened that he wanted to go back and call someone.

Baoyu quickly covered Sheyue's mouth, and said in a low voice, "Good Sheyue, don't tell anyone again. I'm fine."

Musk Moon didn't dare to speak, and pointed to the red spot that was far away and diluted by the continuous flow of water.

Baoyu sighed, "It's just that the blood doesn't return to the meridian. It's not a big problem. Just let me take it easy. And now on the boat, the old lady and the others are worrying. Go and tell them." , what else can I do besides making them worry about me again in vain, and make them more annoyed?"

With tears in her eyes, Sheyue kept nodding her head, signaling that she understood, and Baoyufang let go of her hand covering her mouth.

The master and the servant stood at the stern of the boat, and the wind blew again for a while before Sheyue helped Baoyu back into the cabin.

Sheyue really didn't tell anyone else about this matter, she only kept an eye on Baoyu's body secretly, and was gradually relieved when she saw that Baoyu had no other problems.

The boat is still going to Jinling.

Jiao Da, who is far away in Jinling, has already received a letter from Lin Ruhai, and has made preparations with Jia Rong, Jia Lian and others, waiting for Jia Mu and others to arrive.

After Jia Mu, Jia Rong and others met, they had to cry again.

Jia Rong, Jia Lian and others just came back to prepare for Jia Jing's funeral. The aristocratic family in Jinling City still took care of them everywhere, and even flattered them, but in a blink of an eye, Ning Rong's second mansion was confiscated, and all the people who had come to mourn Jia Jing before were gone. The bustling funeral has become deserted.

Now that Jia's mother is back, the two newly prepared houses in Jinling City are far inferior to the original Ningrong Second Mansion, and the Jia family lived in them, barely enough to live in.

Wang Xifeng originally wanted to spend more time with Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing to talk with Jia Mu, so as to save Jia Mu from seeing the current situation at home, and no one can explain her wild thoughts by herself.

But Jia's mother said that Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian had been separated for a long time. They should first let him and his wife reunite and talk, and then let Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing see Yingchun and their sisters.

In the past, Xichun still lived with Jia's mother, and Jia She and Jia Zheng had separated, but now Xichun was taken back by Jia Zhen, and Jia She still wanted to share a house with Jia Zheng after all.

When Jia's mother mentioned her granddaughter, she remembered this, and her expression became even more weary, and she had no intention of doing anything or saying anything.

Wang Xifeng quietly looked at Mrs. Wang, and seeing that Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing had listened to Jia's mother and wanted to go out, she gave Yuanyang a wink, asking Yuanyang to take good care of Jia's mother, and Fang followed.

Yingchun and Tanchun lived together.The room was narrow, so Mrs. Wang only asked Mrs. Xing for help, and asked Tanchun if she needed anything, so she went to visit Baoyu.

Wang Xifeng went back to the room to meet Jia Lian.After all, there are great changes in the family, and the husband and wife reunite after a long absence. The joy is not worth the sadness.The two of them were in the house, they had no intention of doing anything between husband and wife, they only whispered about their future life.

Now, although Lin Ruhai entrusted Jiao Dazao to buy the fields in the Jia family, there are not many fields.Lin Ruhai's way out for them is farming, studying and heirloom. Relying on the assets left behind, no matter how well they can educate the next generation, if there are more children in the family who can study hard like Jia Lan, who will become officials in the imperial examination in the future, the Jia family will be revitalized. .

They all understand the truth, but people like Jia Lian, Jia Zhen, and Jia Rong have lived the days of Jiaoliang Wanbei since birth, so why have they ever worried about making a living?

The current asset is an amount that they never paid attention to in the past, no matter how they knew that the harvest at home was not as good as the previous year. At best, it was a windfall that could be squandered casually, but now they can only spend the rest of their lives with this little thing After so many years, how can you come up with a good solution in a hurry?

As Wang Xifeng spoke, Jia Lan was gradually mentioned.

Because Jia Lan read well, Lin Ruhai had already discussed with Jia Zheng and others, and after the year he sent Jia Lan to study in a nearby courtyard, Lin Ruhai prepared all the expenses.The great Confucian in that courtyard had a good relationship with Lin Ruhai and had already agreed.Now the Jia family, really Jia Lan, looks the most promising.

When she said this, Jia Lian was annoyed, and pointed to her belly and said, "It's a good thing you know Lan'er! You have been a beginner for so many years, why do you only give birth to a girl, and you always control me and let me I don’t have a son until now! If it weren’t for you, I might have a son who can be sent to the hospital to study hard, and he will shine for our family in the future!”

Wang Xifeng was startled, and was about to refute it when Jia Lian angrily threw up her sleeves and went out.

Wang Xifeng wanted to chase her out, but Ping'er, who had been waiting by the door, squeezed in and stopped her, persuading her, "Why are you arguing with him now? Everyone just arrived, and they haven't settled down yet, and they're going to argue again." Get up, let the old lady worry for nothing."

Wang Xifeng suddenly came to his senses, stopped, and burst into tears holding Ping'er.

Ping'er helped her to sit down by the bed, and softly persuaded: "Now the family is not the same as before, what good is there for you to keep fighting like this? It's better to live this life well. Even if there is no A brother, maybe in two years? And you also think about it, even if you don’t have a brother, and you still have sister Qiao, you should think about it for sister Qiao.”

Wang Xifeng knew in her heart that what Ping'er said was not as good as in the past, not only the Jia family was not as good as before, but the Wang family was also the same.

Mrs. Wang's elder brother, Wang Ziteng, had a close relationship with the King of Nan'an before, and took advantage of his position to do a lot of things for the King of Nan'an.

Wang Xifeng wondered whether Wang Ziteng knew that everything the Nan'an County king did was related to the crime of treason. Is it true that what he said on the face is that only forming a party for personal gain, virtue is not worthy, or Lin Ruhai contributed more to it, and finally let the Wang family be like the Jia family Generally, those who have official positions in the family are all dismissed from their posts, and their family wealth is confiscated.

But one thing is clear.Now that she has no support from her natal family, it is difficult for her to be as tough as before in front of Jia Lian.

Thinking of Qiao Jie again, Wang Xifeng's tears gradually stopped.

She held Ping'er's hand tightly, met Ping'er's gaze, and said firmly: "Yes, I still have Sister Qiao. No matter what the future holds, I will save her dowry for Sister Qiao."

Wang Xifeng put a lot of her own dowry in the house for the Rongguo Mansion before.Although she also has ideas to make money, she still fills a lot of vacancies.Afterwards, Jia's house was raided, and her belongings were not left behind. Now, how easy is it to save money again?

But life is already like this, and it still has to go on.

At night, when Jia Lian had just returned to his room, he was afraid that Xifeng would start arguing about the day's affairs again. However, under the candlelight, Sister Feng smiled at him despite her tired face. The kindness and sweetness I haven't seen in a long time.

His heart softened, and he suddenly thought of Xifeng's delicate appearance when they had known each other before they married in, and his heart swayed before he knew it.

The next day, both of them got up late, and it was all because other people also had to travel all the way, and they managed to sleep soundly last night, and maybe they didn't really fall asleep until late at night, so there were not many people who got up late, so no one noticed. About his husband and wife.

Mother Jia didn't seem to have slept well, but she seemed to be in good spirits.

After breakfast, she will invite everyone from the Jia family over.

The house of Jia Zhen's family is also nearby, within a few steps.

After all, Mother Jia is the person with the highest seniority now. She said she wanted Jia Zhen to come, but Jia Zhen didn't dare not to come.

After a while, when everyone was there, Mother Jia began to give orders.

She didn't make any arrangements for Jia Zhen. She mainly targeted her two daughters-in-law, daughter-in-law, Yingchun and Tanchun.

I only listened to Jia's mother's instructions that Jia must continue to farm after the amnesty, and even if he does not farm, he must have a proper job to support himself. He also said that his daughter-in-law and granddaughter should start doing needlework to subsidize the family.

After Jia Zheng wanted to find Lin Ruhai and become a teacher, it was up to Jia Zheng.However, when Jia Zheng was at home, he had to help with the work.

After all, Baoyu has to study, but there is already a limit, and he can't go to school until the next exam, so he has to find a way to make a living.

Jia's mother did not set Jia Lian what to do for the time being, but she also gave Jia Lian a deadline. If she couldn't find a job by the deadline, she would have to go farming.

It was winter, not the season for plowing, and it would give them some time to look for work and then decide how much the fields should be rented out.Once it is too late and the land cannot be rented out, they must cultivate it themselves.

As soon as Jiamu's words came out, Jia Amnesty and others only dared to respond.

Jia Zhenben smiled and persuaded Jia Mu that there is no need to set the time so tight, I'm afraid they won't be able to adapt.

Mother Jia, however, relied on her seniority, and instead taught him a lesson, she only said that now that he was still the patriarch, she invited him to be a witness, but it was not for him to say such frustrating words again.

After Jia's mother had told everyone, Jia Zhen was still a little bit sad when she left.
