Daiyu's life

Chapter 76

Looking at the big ship going away, Lin Ruhai's eyes were moist. This daughter who owed him the most left under his wings again and sailed to the unknown distance. Lin Ruhai took the lead when he couldn't even see the shadow of the ship. gone back,.

Haoyu glanced at Xichun who was wiping away tears and asked her niece and daughter-in-law to persuade her to get into the car, Shi Xiangyun, who had a slightly protruding belly, and Cai Yahui, who was holding the child, were all coaxed and coaxed by Erye Cao. I cried a lot, but after looking around, Lin Ruhai had already got into the carriage first, and the carriage had already walked more than ten meters away. Hao Xuan accompanied Xie Yi'an to greet the people who saw him off. Hao Yu really wanted to leave with Daiyu, he felt that There was no way to pass the day.

Daiyu is better than everyone who sees her off, because she has a big-headed son with unlimited vitality. Brother Nian is walking steadily now, and he is even more mischievous. He can't leave people around him at all. The four of Congxiu are still inexperienced, and Daiyu is not at ease in letting Brother Nian take care of them. After all, Xuecui followed, but as the daughter-in-law in charge and her husband-in-law, Daiyuxue Cuixue The four of Juanxueyan coaxed a younger brother, and all of them were turned upside down by him. One can imagine the destructive power of this little villain.

Brother Nian is on a boat for the first time, so it is inevitable that he will be a little excited. When he is excited, his destructive power will double. When this excited little villain calms down, any sad parting emotions will go to the sky, brother Nian is quiet The younger one came down to eat and brought chestnut cakes for him, took two bites and then ran towards Daiyu with the chestnut cakes smeared with his saliva, stood on tiptoes and stretched out his hands to stuff the chestnut cakes into Daiyu's mouth, Brother Nian was a little anxious because he was too small, and said, "Mother, eat chestnut cake, eat chestnut cake."

Daiyu knew her son's persistence. If she didn't take a bite, Brother Nian could hold the half piece of pastry and follow Daiyu all the time. Son, let Nian Geer sit on his lap, took a bite of the love brand saliva chestnut cake, Nian Geer was really happy, and stuffed the rest of the chestnut cake into his mouth, like a greedy little mouse Yes, he bulged his mouth and ate non-stop.

Let Daiyu say that a big head is also an advantage. Proportionally speaking, Brother Nian is a handsome guy with a small mouth, but the whole head is a size bigger, and the mouth is naturally not small. Daiyu is rarely worried that Brother Nian will be choked. with,.

Daiyu saluted quite a bit, because she was following the army, so she didn't have to worry about safety issues, and the group drove in a mighty new direction.Zheng Yiran was still very careful. As soon as he arrived in Xin'an County, he found a matchmaker and bought a few local women. They sent them to Beijing, and asked them to tell Daiyu about Xin'an's customs and customs, etc. When she was in Beijing, Daiyu listened to things that needed attention. Now that she was bored on the boat, she called people over and asked them to tell interesting stories about Xin'an.

Daiyu's expression became a little weird when she heard this, how does this Xin'an sound like Shenzhen in the future, I didn't have time or mood to think about it before, but now I look at it again, it really looks alike, Daiyu thought about it carefully, It seems that Shenzhen was a small fishing village back then.

How prosperous Shenzhen was in the previous life. At this time, Xin'an and other places are almost impoverished. There is Guangzhou on the top and Xiamen on the bottom. Most of the transportation takes place in the inland sea, and these small towns can't even earn a toll.They can only rely on fishing in the sea to earn those hard-earned money. Most of the local fishermen live on the boat, and the boat is all their property. Those who can have a house and a few acres of land on the shore are living a good life.

Many fishermen catch fish, but they don’t know how to eat a good fish. They either buy it while it’s fresh, or make it into various dried fish and smoked fish. Even so, there are still many people who can’t get enough to eat, Daiyu Sighing, Zheng Yiran is a general, commanding the military along the southwestern coast, not a local official, and can't interfere with the local government at all.

Originally, Zheng Yiran wanted Daiyu and Brother Nian to live in Guangzhou. The conditions there are better, sometimes it can be said that it is even better in Beijing. Many expensive western items are only one-third or one-fourth in Guangzhou. You can buy it at a low price, and of course things in Beijing are much more expensive in Guangzhou.But Daiyu didn't agree, if she lived in Guangzhou, she would be in some kind of army and just stay in Beijing and let her father cover her.

Brother Nian's ability to adapt surprised Daiyu. Is this the benefit of having a good background since childhood? !Brother Nian has never had symptoms of seasickness, nausea, and low fever since he got on the ship. Many young and strong girls have collapsed, but Brother Nian is still alive and kicking all day long. Daiyu had to end Brother Nian's free-range life early , Every day there will be two or three hours to come to my brother to study.

Brother Nian followed Daiyu to read "Sound Rhythm" without knowing anything. Rather than saying that Brother Nian actually reads, it is better to say that he likes listening to Xiangxiang's gentle voice and the right kisses.

Brother Nian read the second volume of "Sound Rhythm" in a childlike voice: "Spring is to summer, autumn is to winter, evening drum is to morning bell. Viewing mountains is to playing with water, and green bamboo is to green pine."

Daiyu encouraged Brother Nian to kiss his forehead, and said with a smile, "Brother Nian is the smartest."

Brother Nian giggled, grabbed Daiyu's sleeve and demanded, "Mother, bamboo shoots, brother Nian eats."

Daiyu replied with a smile, "Okay, will my mother let you do well in a while?"

Brother Nian nodded half-understood, the apprentice handed over by Mr. and Mrs. Chuan, Daiyu couldn’t eat enough pickled sour bamboo shoots, but eating too much kimchi was not good. The boat will inevitably affect people's appetite, so Daiyu relaxed her request and would eat some appetizers every day, but Brother Nian refused to stop eating. Daiyu just stopped him for a day, and now he knows Come here by yourself.

Brother Nian took a small spoon and drank the sour bamboo shoot soup in big mouthfuls. He was eating two mouthfuls of fresh steamed fish, and then he took a bite of the small flower roll. No young brother is easy to support.

Brother Nian sat obediently after finishing his meal and asked Xiangxiang to take the bib away, then wiped his face with a warm towel, and put some balm on his face. Brother Nian blushed and laughed .

The journey along the way was very stable. There is also a river passing through Xin'an, but the river is not too wide. When there is little rain, large boats cannot pass. Fortunately, the rain this year is normal. Daiyu and her party arrived in Xin'an smoothly. Some people got seasick and got sick, but they were all healthy afterwards, but they were not used to it when they got off the ship.

The place where Daiyu disembarks is considered a military pier. In fact, there are not many piers in Xin'an County. They are all dilapidated. Zheng Yiran requisitioned one after he came here. After it was built, it has been used by the army. Brother Nian looked at the pier curiously. Row after row of soldiers, if Daiyu hadn't hugged him, he would have gone over to touch him.

Zheng Yiran couldn't wait for the ship to berth and get on it. Relying on his good skills, he borrowed his strength several times and flew directly onto the ship. Daiyu was dumbfounded. He once took Daiyu to ride a horse together, and originally planned to get a pony for Daiyu, but she put it on hold because of the arrival of Brother Nian.

I have never seen Zheng Yiran use kung fu before. This is really the first time Daiyu has seen Zheng Yiran use kung fu. Zheng Yiran looked at Daiyu with a smile, and asked softly, "How is the road, you have lost weight."

Even with the gauze hat on, Zheng Yiran could clearly see Daiyu's flushed face, especially the booing noises below, which made Daiyu want to find a crack in the ground to get in. Zheng Yiran grinned even more happily, and the booing sounds It got bigger and bigger, and most of the guards below were Zheng Yiran's personal soldiers. They fought with Zheng Yiran on the battlefield in the northwest, and lived a monotonous and somewhat poor life after returning to Beijing. This time, they followed Zheng Yiran to the southwest coast. Zheng Yiran didn't see each other with them, he was only laughed at, and his daughter-in-law covered her tightly so that no one could see her.

Zheng Yiran's current mentality is easy to understand, go his own way, let them envy and hate.

Brother Nian looked at Zheng Yiran curiously. Brother Nian is only less than two years old now, and he has been separated from Zheng Yiran for several months. At the beginning, he knew to look for his father, but he didn't mention it much after two months This father who has been waiting for him in his palm is a little strange to see Zheng Yiran at this moment. Zheng Yiran doesn't dare to tease his wife too much, so he can only hug the bigger baby son too much. Brother Nian didn't make a fuss, just behave Let Zheng Yiran hug him, the smile on the corners of Zheng Yiran's mouth widened, and he could see ten big white teeth.

Zheng Yiran hugged Brother Nian and said, "Brother Nian is called Daddy."

Brother Nian obediently called Daddy with his signature voice, and Zheng Yiran, who had a sweet voice, was drunk. He didn’t know where Bei was, and the boat was fine. , supporting his daughter-in-law, swaggered off the boat, got into the carriage arrogantly, and drove away.

This is what all the soldiers have seen, but in fact it is the same, but they can't know what happened next. As soon as Zheng Yiran got on the carriage, he took his son and started showing off. Resolutely very affectionate, the father and son raised their signs and giggled, looking at Daiyu together.

Daiyu hugged Brother Nian with a smile, and asked, "Brother Nian, do you remember who this is?"

Brother Nian blinked at Zheng Yiran and said, "It's Daddy."

Zheng Yiran couldn't close his mouth when he laughed, and Daiyu asked, "Who is that father?"

Brother Nian was confused by his unscrupulous mother, raised his head and looked at Daiyu in a puzzled way, wondering how Daiyu would ask this question, daddy is daddy, Zheng Yiran didn't save his precious son, Let Daiyu fool Nian's eyes with stares, not knowing what year it is.

Zheng Yiran's house in Xin'an Lane is quite big. Why did the two houses with three entrances come together? It took craftsmen working overtime for two months to tidy it up. The furniture inside was bought from Guangzhou and tidied up. It was very good, Daiyu just took a general look, and then went back to wash up, I don't know how many years I will live in Xin'an, there is plenty of time to see, so don't worry about it.

Daiyu washed the algae for Nian Ge'er first, and Nian Ge'er's excitement passed, and now he was a little sleepy after letting the hot water steam, his head was biting like a chicken pecking at rice. Brother Nian sent him to sleep, and then he washed himself. Zheng Yiran saw his son sleeping soundly, and couldn't sit still in the room. He turned around twice to see that his daughter-in-law didn't leave anyone to serve him this time, so he ordered his servants to take care of him. Good year brother, I went to the clean room.

Most of the coastal areas need to bathe every day, and most of the bathing places are well-built. When it comes to Zheng Yiran's place, Zheng Yiran doesn't demand the best, and the craftsmen don't dare to cut corners. The soft couch and other things inside are all available.Daiyu had just washed her hair, and was sitting and brushing her hair when Zheng Yiran came in.

Zheng Yiran almost had a nosebleed when he saw the scene inside. Daiyu was only wearing a small sky-blue dress and obscene pants of the same color. Walked up to Daiyu unconsciously, wanted to take the cloth towel from Daiyu's hand to wipe Daiyu's hair, but for some reason, when she stretched out her hand, she pulled off the little gown, revealing the moon-white bellyband inside, .

Daiyu is not deaf either, she already knew that Zheng Yiran came in, she just wanted to see what the idiot was going to do, but in the end she just pulled the clothes without saying a word, Daiyu didn't know whether she was happy that she was too attractive, or I'm going to give this scum-brained fool a hard time.

***

When Daiyu boarded the boat with her son in her arms, Baochai was leading someone to look in her field. Everything was fine, so she returned to the city in a carriage. Yinger paid for the carriage, and the master Only then did the three servants enter the yard.

Before Jia Lian's reply came, Xue Baochai already had some doubts in her heart, but she was short of manpower, so it was not good to make too much trouble. After all, she was the daughter of the Xue family, and the Xue family had treated her like this. How could Xue Baochai live in her husband's house? Looking up, Xue Baochai just pretended not to know.When Jia Lian's letter came, Jia's mother was not so angry anymore, she returned rationally, and she could guess something after thinking about it. They all bought land.

The Xue family did not intervene this time. After all, it was not only the married daughter of the Xue family, but also the wife of the Jia clan. She used the Xue family's business to make money. To be honest, if Xue's family was still destroyed by rent collection, it would be unreasonable, and the Jia clan would not allow people to bully their own family members like this.

Xue Baochai can only focus on taking care of her family's farm. Xue Baochai is really good. She can make a few people who have not done business at one time resell silk under her command. If it is not because of revenge from the Xue family, she will definitely make a lot of money For a sum, it is no problem to manage two farms at this moment.

With more than 2000 taels of silver in hand, Xue Baochai bought a total of more than 200 mu of paddy and dry fields, all of which are Zhongtian. Including the 300 mu of land left by Jia Amnesty, he can also earn [-] taels a year. The tenants often brought melons, fruits and vegetables to pay their respects, and Xue Baochai could still save a lot in a year.

Now there are fewer people in the small courtyard of Jia's family, because Xue Baochai has given up the idea of ​​doing business because of the Xue family's affairs. Originally, she could not open a shop and become a merchant. The second time, Xue Baochai knew all connections belonged to the Xue family, and it was too easy for the Xue family to deceive her, so Xue Baochai released some of the companions in his hand, leaving only Yinger and her man, and others. An honest couple with their eleven or twelve-year-old son.

Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu live in the first entrance. Just entering the yard and bypassing the big stone screen in front of the door is the residence of Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu. Xue Baochai happened to see Tanchun walking back. Xue Baochai secretly sighed. It's quite pitiful, the only sister left at the time was Tanchun, but Tanchun was not her real sister-in-law, and Jia's mother and Jia Huan didn't care about it, so what's the use of Tanchun's fawning on Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu was studying in the East Wing. Xue Baochai glanced at the door, and without disturbing, sent Ying'er to pick up Gui Geer from Jia's mother. Xue Baochai asked how the family was doing today.

Mrs. Sun said, "My brother didn't cry today. He ate two steamed eggs and some meat porridge. The second master also left his bird's nest porridge for him to eat at night. Now it's heating up there. , the third girl came over in the morning to bring some snacks to the second master, and in the afternoon sent two pairs of shoes, just after returning, the old lady stayed in the backyard and sent Mrs. Ye over to visit the second master twice."

Xue Baochai nodded and let Grandma Sun go down. There were few people in the family and there were few things to do. Mother Jia didn't need Xue Baochai to take care of her, but Xue Baochai was still used to controlling the family's dynamics, otherwise she always felt uneasy.

Xue Baochai fed Brother Gui to eat bird's nest porridge one bite at a time. This bird's nest porridge was bought by Jia's mother and stewed for Jia Baoyu's body after Jia Baoyu became a scholar. Jia Baoyu was not close to his son Jia Gui, but he had I still think about Jia Gui if it's delicious, but it's not good to leave it all to Jia Gui. Jia Baoyu eats a few bites, and most of the rest goes into Jia Gui's stomach.

Xue Baochai patted his son's head, and said, "Brother Gui, do you want to have dinner with your father for a while?"

Brother Gui was not sensible at all, but after hearing Xue Baochai say yes, he habitually said yes, and Xue Baochai's tired face went away a lot.

Tanchun always remembered that Baoyu was still useful. At dinner, Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai mentioned that they wanted to find someone for Tanchun. They knew that Jia Baoyu had changed a lot, but Jia Baoyu took the initiative to let his sister marry. Still in shock.

Xue Baochai was shocked, but he kept saying, "Not only do you remember the third sister, but I also remember it, but you know the situation at home now. You don't need to think about those families back then. I don't know him, if a matchmaker is brought over, who knows what it will look like, if it's not good, it won't hurt the third sister for the rest of her life."

What Xue Baochai said was reasonable, so Jia Baoyu didn't say much. After two days, he went to find Jia's mother. Jia's mother also wanted to marry Tanchun. Chun's marriage is really difficult to say.

It's good that Jia Baoyu has a reputation as a scholar, but this can't change that after they were criminals, Mrs. Jia Zhengwang's sentence was not to be pardoned. It's just a grandson, it's okay if Jia Huan doesn't take the imperial examination, but it will have a greater impact on Jia Baoyu and Tanchun.

Tanchun may not really want to marry well. Needless to say, Jia Baoyu's classmates who are talented, they will not want her, unless Tanchun can wait until Jia Baoyu is awarded a Jinshi, and he will not be able to raise others. Tanchun wants to wait. But she is really not young, and she can't wait for Ben. Since Tanchun can't help Jia Baoyu in the imperial examination, Jia's mother wants to marry Tanchun to a merchant, at least to help Jia Baoyu get some money.

There is no need to think about the kind of big merchants who can take the imperial examination, and the upstarts are still possible. Jia Mu has always had this idea. As soon as Jia Baoyu reminded her, Jia Mu made up her mind. It is not so easy to marry if you want to marry. The pole finds a matchmaker and it settles down. Jia's mother, regardless of Ye's obstruction, takes Tanchun to the temple several times.

The temple can be said to be a good place, and you can pray to God or get married. There are really people who have taken a fancy to Tanchun. A generation of merchants has just exploded. The whole family can’t read a basket together, and they want to marry one for their son. A woman who can read and write, asked the matchmaker to come to propose marriage after inquiring about Tanchun's situation. Jia's mother gave a dowry of 5000 taels of silver, and the dowry of 2000 taels of silver was given by the man, and she would not take any of the dowry back.

The man flinched when he heard that, 7000 taels of silver is not that easy to earn, this is just a generation, the family is really not that rich, 7000 taels of silver to marry a daughter-in-law without blinking.

Tanchun lived with Jiamu, how could she not know, she just found out about Jiamu's plan, she was crying to death, and wanted to find Baoyu, but Jiamu took Tanchun under her control, and she didn't know Don't give her a chance to get close to Jia Baoyu.Tanchun's face was ashamed, she had laughed at Yingchun in her heart at the beginning, so what if the dowry was rich, married to that kind of family, but it turned out to be like this when she came here.

The Shen family didn't want to marry Tanchun at first, but the son of the Shen family, Shen He, nicknamed Shen Ergou, fell in love with Tanchun, which made the parents and the two families bargain. The dowry of two silver coins took away Tanchun.

With tears in his eyes, Tanchun asked Jia Baoyu to put him on the sedan chair. Jia Baoyu didn't know anything about Tanchun's marriage, but only knew that Jia's mother had seen her. Mother took over with full power, so she didn't ask any more questions, and thought that Mother Jia was good to Tanchun, at least in the case of Jia Baoyu and others, it was not bad to be able to give Tanchun so much dowry.

Tanchun only said to Baoyu, "Second brother, be well!" and got into the sedan chair of the Shen family, and married the Shen family who was not worthy to carry her shoes.

Jia Huan accompanied Aunt Zhao to give Tanchun a wedding, and Aunt Zhao held the sachet and other things that Tanchun made for her and wept bitterly.

Jia Huan stayed with her for a while, and Aunt Zhao was still crying. Jia Huan was a little impatient, and said to Aunt Zhao with a bluffing face, "Mother, the third sister chose the road herself. She is happy. Why are you crying so much? It’s not that no one has sent someone over to send a message to Third Sister, let her live with us, Third Sister doesn’t want you to do anything, but it’s just a matter of making you a sachet, why are you crying.” He gave Jia Baoyu a hard look, Jia Baoyu is a delicate person, wearing the shoes made by Tanchun for him, and the bridal sedan chair that Tanchun gave him.

The shoes are all made of medium silk. At the beginning, Tanchun didn't have a single copper plate in his hand. The silk was secretly sent to Tanchun by Aunt Zhao behind Jia Huan's back. Jia Huan opened his eyes and closed his eyes and acquiesced. .

Jia Baoyu didn't know why, and didn't care about Jia Huan's glaring, so he sent Tanchun away, and Jia Baoyu went back to the East Wing to read.

Jia Huan looked down on Jia Baoyu's lofty appearance the most, took Aunt Zhao back to her small courtyard, and had no contact with Jia Baoyu.
