Red Mansion is so good I want to cry

A bowl of Yangchun noodles is only three coppers, plus a marinated egg and side dishes, so many of them can't afford a dime, so he won't be stingy now, right?

What about the swelling?

Jia Xiaoniu looked up at the sky, squinted her eyes and smiled brightly.

What a big deal, she invited me this time.

After thinking about it, Jia Xiaoniu turned her head to Shui Yuan and smiled sweetly, "Don't you like it, uncle? I heard that this is a special feature of Yangzhou. My grandfather and I were able to meet everyone so smoothly, thanks to uncle. I wanted it earlier. Inviting uncle to dinner, picking the sun is worse than hitting the sun, isn't today just right?"

Shui Yuan: So Your Highness has spent so much money and put so much thought into it, and you just plan to invite His Highness to eat such a bowl of broken noodles?

When Shui Yuan heard Jia Xiaoniu's words, he didn't know whether to be happy about saving the money for the meal, or angry that the meal was too expensive.

Sighing, Shui Yuan glanced left and right at the people who followed them.

"How did you bring everyone out?"

One of Jia Xiaoniu's nanny and four girls, and one of Jia Lian's nanny and one girl were all brought by Jia Xiaoniu.In addition, Shuiyuan's two court ladies were also picked up by Jia Xiaoniu.

In their group, there are only ten female relatives, not to mention eunuchs, guards and such long followers.

With so many people, how many bowls of noodles have to be eaten?

It was impossible for him to really ask the girl in front of him to pay, and his heart ached to death.

"It's rare to come out, let them go for a walk, it's not in vain to come out all the way."

By the way, Jia Xiaoniu is still willing to do it.Before she finished speaking, these maids and nuns looked at her, not to mention shining eyes.

It was also true, since they have all arrived in Yangzhou, wouldn't it be a great loss not to let them come out to see them.

When they returned to the capital with the boat, the sisters who stayed at home asked them how Yangzhou was, and what delicious food and fun there was in Yangzhou. Could they just spread their hands up and tell those who stayed in the capital that they didn't have anything? See, except that there are few red walls and green tiles in Yangzhou, and they are all pink walls and black tiles?

What a shame.

And when I come out, why do I have to personally pick some specialties from Yangzhou and bring them back to the capital to give to relatives and friends?

Therefore, Jia Xiaoniu, who was able to take them out for a stroll together, was so special to them.

In my heart, I just praised Jia Xiaoniu in my heart, and when I met other girls later, I would also use a filter to beautify Jia Xiaoniu.

In the past, except for the gold and silver, Shuiyuan didn't pay much attention to others.Now besides Jinyin, there is only one Jia Xiaoniu, and everyone else is in a state of automatic avoidance with him.

I noticed these people before because of... money.

Now, after talking to Jia Xiaoniu, those people were automatically ignored.

But he ignored it, but Jia Xiaoniu didn't.Jia Xiaoniu still knew that all these people except her had eaten breakfast, so she didn't really order noodles for them.Just before the meal came, Jia Xiaoniu ordered the servants of the Rongguo Mansion and the servants of the Lin Mansion who followed them this time, and divided them into two groups.

One group followed her to play with Shui Yuan, and the other group took those big girls and nurses to play.

After all, there are too many people who come out of them, too many.The stalls on both sides of the street are about to be squeezed into the wall.

Mother Tang and Mother Zhao are two old sisters, one wants to hang out with those court ladies and big girls, and the other is worried that Jia Xiaoniu will be played with by Shui Yuan, a prince who doesn't look very good at first glance.

Nanny Tang has heard that there are quite a few kidnappers out there, who specialize in stealing from cute and delicate children.If her girl's appearance is targeted by a kidnapper, wouldn't that kill her?

Coupled with the fact that it has not been a few days since the disappearance, Madam Tang can't wait to keep Jia Xiaoniu in her mouth every day, and dare not let her go out of her sight alone.

Seeing Nanny Tang's insistence, Jia Xiaoniu thought for a while, and then decided to let Nanny Tang follow her, and let Nanny Zhao, an elderly nanny, follow the handful of water onions.

Yuanyang hesitated for a moment, said something to the little sisters, then walked to Jia Xiaoniu, and took care of Jia Xiaoniu with Tang Nanny.

Jia Xiaoniu glanced at the mandarin duck standing with Tang Nanny, but said nothing.

If this one is really useful, she doesn't mind staying by her side as a confidant.But Jia Xiaoniu will always hesitate for this kind of person who has an old lady and a brother and sister-in-law who are holding back.

Forget it, leave her alone.How old is she now, let's talk about things in the future.

Without Jia Mu who only cares about her own pleasure, maybe this mandarin duck will be released to marry when she reaches an old age.

You must know that in the original book, the mandarin ducks are not married, except for Jia Mu, who will not let anyone go, then there are scumbags who are watching.But now it's different, the cheap grandfather set up the family rules, and the scumbag father just wants to be a scumbag, probably neither the cheap grandfather nor the new wife will let him have this opportunity.

Dare to scum?That is to hit lightly.

Hmph, she remembered, she and the scumbag father still have 5000 taels of silver tied there.Whenever people mentioned marriage or topics related to this kind of talk, Jia Xiaoniu would think of the 5000 taels of silver.

As soon as she arrived in Yangzhou, she wanted to be a scumbag, why is it swollen?

"What are you thinking?" Shui Yuan looked at Jia Xiaoniu holding her chopsticks and laying them there without moving, and asked her curiously.

When Jia Xiaoniu heard this, she subconsciously replied, "I miss my father."

Hearing this, Shui Yuan stroked Jia Xiaoniu's hair, he really didn't think of his father after being out for so long.

How about going back today and writing a letter to his father to say hello?

Thinking of such a cheap way to communicate with each other by writing letters, Shui Yuan smiled nicely and tugged Raja Chick's ear.

As for how frightened his father would be when he suddenly received his letter, that was out of Shuiyuan's consideration.

"So obedient, so filial."

Jia Xiaoniu: Hehe~

When I was young, the Yangchun noodles that Jia Xiaoniu had been thinking about for a long time were brought up.Jia Xiaoniu looked at Yangchun Noodles and suddenly lost her appetite.

To be honest, the living standards of the ancient people were not as good as those of the modern times. Although the street snacks are authentic, their materials and appearance cannot be compared with those of later generations.In this life, Jia Xiaoniu, who has been eating gold and swallowing jade since she was born, has no appetite at all.

Taking a sneak peek at the water source that was also frowning and staring at Yangchun Noodles, Jia Xiaoniu rubbed her hungry stomach, but she was still unwilling to move her chopsticks.

There is always a certain amount of surprise between imaginary food and reality.

Tang Nanny took care of Jia Xiaoniu since she was a child. When she saw her like this, she didn't know what happened to her.After looking around at the nearby stalls, Nanny Tang whispered some instructions to Yuanyang, and Yuanyang picked up her purse and walked to the side.

I bought a few fresh meat fried pancakes, and asked the stall owner to cut a few knives before bringing them to the table where Jia Xiaoniu and Shui Yuan were sitting.

Whether there is meat or fried pie, Jia Xiaoniu frowned with a smile, and gestured generously to the water source to let him eat it too.

The mandarin ducks who have been with Jia Xiaoniu for a few days also know that Jia Xiaoniu has the habit of drinking salty porridge or tea when she eats this kind of food, so she carefully brushes a teapot and teacup, and pours the tea leaves she brought out. Pour the pot for Jia Xiaoniu and the water source.

Jia Xiaoniu has always been generous to those she likes, and has never been stingy with rewards.Eating delicious pies and drinking delicious tea, Jia Xiaoniu asked Nanny Tang to admire the mandarin ducks very directly.

Work hard, girl.Lots of performance bonuses are waiting for you.

(￣e(#￣)

Nanny Tang was in charge of all of Jia Xiaoniu's ostensible property, so when Jia Xiaoniu offered a reward, Nanny Tang didn't hesitate, and took a purse from her sleeve to reward the mandarin ducks.

Yuanyang is a big girl by Jiamu's side, and she still has the ability to touch the purse.As soon as he touched the purse, he knew that there was a two taels of silver in it.

As for why it is a silver carp?

Because no one would reward a girl with gold.

Besides, two or two is already a lot.

The palace people who have been with Shuiyuan for many years have never had this kind of treatment.

Shui Yuan looked at the pie and the tea, and suddenly covered his chest with distress.

This girl spends too much money.

And how could she manage to spend so much money and still have a bright smile on her face.

Bite down a piece of pie, Shui Yuan thinks this pie is really expensive.

Jia Xiaoniu owns a pearl farm, she is confident, and the cost is low, so she will not treat herself badly in terms of expenses.But Shui Yuan doesn't know, Shui Yuan always thinks that this girl doesn't have a mother to subsidize her, Jia Daishan sees that she is a big man again, this girl spends so much money like running water, how much private money can she save?If something really happened, wouldn't you have to worry about money?

Thinking this way, Shui Yuan looked helplessly at Jia Xiaoniu and decided to find a chance to give her some money or something when he turned around.

Glancing at Nanny Tang, Shuiyuan finally found out what kind of temper this nanny had along the way.

To put it bluntly, the girl in their family farts, and when she comes to this nanny, she can feel that her girl's fart is delicious, better than others.

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

Sweeping his gaze to the mandarin duck again, Shui Yuan squinted his eyes.

This girl can do something.On the surface, she is the old lady Jia's confidant girl, and she takes her with her wherever she goes.Unexpectedly, this person is Jia Daishan.

Don't ask how he saw it?

People who grew up in the palace still have this vision.

If he didn't even have this bit of vision, no matter how weird his hobbies are, he probably wouldn't have survived until now.

Shui Yuan compared the people around Jia Xiaoniu back and forth in his mind, and found that these people had either such or such problems, or such and such problems. calculating.

Thinking of those people whose tempers have been raised, Shui Yuan has a special sense of crisis.

Alas, his fucking uncle heart.

……

After the meal, because Jia Xiaoniu was not as tall as some of the stalls, she was carried on her back by Shui Yuan as a matter of course.

When being carried on her back by Shui Yuan, Jia Xiaoniu somehow thought of Zhu Bajie.Subconsciously shivering, Jia Xiaoniu's hands unconsciously held Shui Yuan's ears.

It's not big, but it's quite soft.

The ear held by Jia Xiaoniu's little hand has become red and red at this moment, and the sound of Shui Yuan's heartbeat is accelerating and aggravating.Just when the heart was about to jump out of her throat, Shuiyuan whispered to her, "Stay well, or I will throw you out."

Jia Xiaoniu curled her lips when she heard the words, and muttered in a low voice, "I didn't make your ears red, so why are you attacking me?"

Shui Yuan: You don’t touch it, it’s not red, and it doesn’t make people feel hot...it reaches your heart.

The two were surrounded by maids and mothers, and accompanied by eunuchs and guards. Even though there were many people on the street, they were not crowded.

It was just that the two of them were walking, and found something that was not quite right.

A lot of people are praising Zhen Yingjia in a vague way, saying that they love the people like a son, are an upright official, and are considerate and compassionate. Some people say that the current good life is thanks to Mr. Zhen.

"Uncle, do you think these people are babysitters?" Those who praised a minister like this were either out of their minds or were plotted against.

In a dynasty with an emperor, good days are brought by the emperor.Speaking of Zhen Yingjia, I don't know whose idea it was. If the Zhen family did it themselves, they would probably be stupid enough.

Shui Yuan was very physically and mentally exhausted by Jia Xiaoniu's uncle call, "It's not necessary to ask, we really think we are ignorant children who are easy to fool." From Shui Yuan's point of view, with the power of the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River, only Zhen The family did it themselves.

Zhen Yingjia can do it.

Is it interesting to play tricks like this in front of a prince who has no possibility of a big position like him?Is it true that when they are young, they can't see the unusualness of this journey?

Every two stalls, there will be someone selling things there while saying words of gratitude to Zhen Yingjia.

Shui Yuan thought about it for a second, and realized that Zhen Yingjia might be casting a large net, thinking that when he returned to the capital to talk to his father about this trip to Yangzhou, he would mention him by the way.

Then maybe it will benefit Concubine Zhen and her son in the palace...

"Tell me, will someone molesting a good woman in the street, and then that Mr. Zhen will fall from the sky in white clothes?"

Shui Yuan really wanted to smack Jia Xiaoniu on the head, it was so out of tune.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhen must be eating at Mr. Lin's house at this time. And I heard that Mr. Zhen is also in his 40s this year, and he fell from the sky? Hmph, smash the ground out of a hole Come." Besides, there is no one in our group who can be teased.

who said no.

Shui Yuan's appearance is such an indistinguishable age.In the red building where the south wind prevails, there will naturally be people who want to kiss Fangze with a lot of money.

It's just that the little pervert is a little young, how can he be so good at six or seven years old.

Shuiyuan and his party were stopped by someone, but they didn't say anything.It's just that when Jia Xiaoniu heard that the little fat man who stopped them was Xue Pan who accompanied the head of the Xue family to check the accounts, she was in a bad mood.

Is this girl too precocious?

The Xue family's tutoring really has a problem.

But thinking of the original book, Xue Baochai took the books she had read and taught Sister Lin, and asked Sister Lin to kneel down for her, so I felt that it was too possible for their family to do anything.

Xue Pan looked like a young master from a rich family, and looking at the arrogant servants beside him, Shuiyuan directly sent Wangcai, who was better at managing money, to negotiate.

Do you really think that if you stop someone, you don't need financial compensation?

Maybe others can, but it's absolutely impossible in the source of water.

Jia Xiaoniu, who had been lying firmly on Shuiyuan's back, looked at Xue Pan surrounded by guards and eunuchs, and waved to him with a smile.

Forget it this time, if we meet in the capital in the future, she will definitely do her best as a landlord.

The girl is so pretty, how can you turn a blind eye?This hurts the girl so much.

Having said that, as soon as they left the back door of Lin's house, they were followed by someone.Shui Yuan and Jia Xiaoniu didn't care, they just came out to hang out anyway.

Go shopping, eat some specialty snacks, or go to a few shops to buy some specialty products in Yangzhou.The day passed quickly.

However, since Jia Xiaoniu stayed on Shuiyuan's back most of the day, this also led to the fact that on the return journey, Shuiyuan really couldn't carry Jia Xiaoniu, so he had to watch her being carried away by Nanny Tang's feet.

Supporting the waist, looking forward, then raising the head at a 45-degree angle, bright and sad.

It's a desperate world.

Hey~

Compared to Jia Xiaoniu and Shui Yuan who had been out for a day, Jia Daishan and Lin Ruhai had a busy day.

At the end of the night, the last guest was sent away. Jia Daishan drank the hangover soup brought by his daughter, then very calmly dismissed his son-in-law who had been with him all day, and called his daughter over to talk alone.

Jia Daishan met Jia Min in the courtyard where he was staying. At that time, there was no one in the house, and there were only people standing far away waiting in the courtyard. Seeing this, Jia Min knew that her father must have something important to say. matter.

The kind that carries people behind.

After thinking about it, what made her father act like this should only be a family matter of their Rongguo Mansion.

It is indeed not easy for the in-laws to know too much about the affairs of the mother's family.

"Father, do you want to tell your daughter about the old lady?"

For some reason, or subconsciously, Jia Min directly imitated Jia Xiaoniu's address for Jia Mu and Jia Daishan.

Maybe, in her subconscious mind, she also understands which of her parents she is closer to.

Jia Daishan always knew that his daughter was smart, so before he could speak, his daughter pointed out the core. Jia Daishan looked at Jia Min with relief and nodded to her.

The way he nodded was extremely heavy, and Jia Min's heart skipped a beat.

"Father, what's the matter? Yes,"

Jia Daishan stretched out his hand, interrupted what Jia Min wanted to say, and said directly to his daughter, "Originally, my father wanted to tell you this matter in a few days. It's just that when I met the Zhen family today, I felt that Some things are better sooner than later."

Shi's mother and Zhen's family are too close. Now that something happened to Shi's, Jia Daishan is very worried that someone will use this to trick Jia Min and drive a wedge between their father and daughter.

The bad feeling was getting stronger and stronger, Jia Min looked at Jia Daishan anxiously, "Father, please tell me."

"Wei father has a cousin. Both of his parents died when he was young, and he lives in Rongguo Mansion. He was raised by your grandmother when he was young, and he has a close relationship with Wei father." In fact, at that time, he didn't think about taking his cousin into the house.At that time, he still thought that a cousin without father and mother was the most suitable for marriage. How could he have thought of...

cousin?

Jia Min shook her head... I really haven't heard of this.

But didn't you want to talk about the old lady? Why did you talk about this cousin who had never met before?

Jia Min was confused, but didn't dare to ask questions easily.Because based on her understanding of her father, mentioning this person at this time must have a connection.

Sure enough, seeing that Jia Min didn't interrupt him, Jia Daishan continued directly.

About how he took his cousin into the second room by accident, about how his cousin gave birth prematurely after he led the army, and how she died of dystocia, and about how he was reluctant to give up his daughter's life and was lonely without a mother after he came back. Discuss with the aunt's wife to put the newly born youngest daughter under the name of the auntie, so as to act as the auntie...

When he said this, Jia Min's face was beyond pale.

Be obedient and listen to the sound. Although Jia Daishan's words were spoken calmly, the smart Jia Min has filtered out a lot of useful information.

For example, the accidental accident, why the cousin gave birth prematurely and with difficulty in such a "appropriate" time, and the old lady's treatment of her since she was a child...All these let Jia Min know that she is The child that the father mentioned was brought up as a legitimate daughter.

"...Being a father in the past two years has made people record your biological mother's name on the genealogy, and your identity is your father's stepmother."

Stepmother?

Hearing the word stepmother, Jia Min's eyes widened instantly.

Although the stepwife is the first wife, it is inferior to the first wife, but isn't it only when the first wife goes away?

The old lady is not dead yet, why would father do this?Could it be that the old lady did something to completely make her father give up on her?

And it was two years ago... Then what happened two years ago that made my father make this decision.

If not, why did her father mention this matter to her many years after she was married.It is also special to mention it at a time like today when it is not a conversation.

"Father, what did the old lady do?"

Jia Daishan looked at his daughter and nodded, took a sip of the tea on the table, and then told Jia Min everything that happened after Mrs. Zhang's incident.

It can be said that there is everything to say, and there is nothing to say.

When Jia Min heard that Mrs. Zhang was strangled to death by Jia's mother, she was not surprised.Based on her understanding of Jiamu, it is not surprising what she can do.What surprised her was that Jia Lian was still there.

This is beyond Jia Min's understanding.

Could it be that the old lady wanted to strangle Lian'er to death together?

The daughter-in-law is hired from outside, but the grandson is not, unless her eldest brother...

"The boss is indeed from the Shi family, there is no doubt about it."

"Yeah." I see, even the eldest brother who was not favored since childhood was born of Shi, so the favored second brother must also be born of her.

Now it seems that she is the only one who is not.

Knowing the truth, Jia Min's mood was extremely complicated.

Of course, when she heard that Jia Daishan's disappearance a while ago turned out to be due to Jia's mother drugging her and pushing her out of the cabin, Jia Min couldn't care less about her life experience, because she was not well.

She has been so close to such a person without any precautions for so many years.

Thinking of the three concubine sisters who passed away long ago, Jia Min shivered.

Mud girl, she has recognized a thief as her mother for so many years.

Jia Daishan thought of the news he got when he interrogated Nanny Lai, and he could quite understand Yaonu's mood in his heart.

Among them, the cousin is probably the most pitiful.

Because Shi wanted to fight against his mother, and then dragged his cousin into the battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and finally disappeared...

Jia Daishan wanted to say something else, but he looked at Jia Min as if he couldn't bear too much.So he shook his head, stood up, and walked to the window with his hands behind his back.

The shape of the moon on March [-] is not pretty.There is neither the lightness of the crescent moon at the beginning of the month, nor the full moon of the fifteenth to make people feel satisfied.

After Jia Daishan sighed, he closed the window.

Well, it doesn't matter if it looks good or not, it's cold at night in March in the south, so no one has the patience to look at it.

"Girl, my father didn't tell you these things to take revenge or increase your troubles." Sighing, Jia Daishan wanted to touch Jia Min's hair as he did when he was a child, and found that Jia Min's hair was very well combed. It was beautiful, and it was full of pearls and emeralds. He put his raised hand on Jia Min's shoulder and patted it lightly twice.

Jia Min nodded, "Father don't worry, my daughter knows." After a pause, Jia Min thought about what happened in the front yard during the day, and then whispered to Jia Daishan what the Zhen family has done these years.

Jia Daishan snorted coldly when he heard the words, "Don't bother with them, they are just a bunch of people who are trying to kill you. It's up to your family to pay more attention."

Jia Min squinted her eyes, thinking about the things going on in the mansion during the period from her pregnancy to her confinement period, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.It's just a smile but it doesn't reach the eyes...

Aside from what Shi Shi, an old woman, taught her, she, Jia Minke, is also a tiger girl.If you bully her, don't blame her for being cruel.

Thinking of this, Jia Min suddenly thought of the fact that his father had ordered all the dowry companions to be called back two years ago, and asked with some certainty, "Do those people who married their daughters into the Lin family have other purposes?"

Jia Daishan nodded, "The father of those people took care of it for you. From now on, you can rest assured about your life." Sighing, Jia Daishan became a little gentler, "Your new sister-in-law is a good one, you are fine. You can also have more contacts with her. With your second sister-in-law, let it be. By the way, Lian'er will stay in Yangzhou in the future. You are his biological aunt, and he has no mother to teach, so you should pay more attention to everything. "

"It doesn't need to be said by the father, it is my daughter's nephew, and my daughter knows how to do it."

"Ah."
