The Red House of the Concubine of the Jia Family

Standing by the side of the stall and looking carefully for about a quarter of an hour, Lu Qi'an finally picked out a few small objects among them, a set of three peach wood hairpins of different lengths, all of which were kittens, puppies and other small animals with simple lines. But it is very interesting and cute; a bracelet looks very old, no material can be seen, the pattern is simple and elegant, and what is even better is that it is hollow inside, and there is a small organ; there are two pen holders, the wood is very ordinary, but the design It is very exquisite, and the carving is also very good. The hollow design of the outer layer can be called lifelike.

Next, Lu Qi'an picked out a lot of Jiangnan-style fans, silk fabrics and the like along the way, and finally went for a walk around the famous Huiyun Building in Yangzhou, packing all kinds of snacks and snacks that can be placed, and finally Ready to go back to Lin Mansion.

Who knows, but the road can't pass.

Yangzhou is prosperous and prosperous, and the main streets in Yangzhou city can accommodate two carriages at the same time, which is very spacious, but now the front is surrounded by servants from some mansion.Seeing the expressions of the common people around who wanted to step forward but did not dare to step forward, "Qian Er, go and ask, which mansion is that from?"

Not long after leaving, Qian Er came back, "Master, the family name over there is Zhen, who is said to be a descendant of the Zhen family in Jinling, there is a girl who sold her body to bury her father, and asked for 50 taels... The Zhen family wants the girl Go back to the mansion, that girl is making a fuss..."

The Zhen family?It's really arrogant, but it's just a side branch who dares to snatch famous women in broad daylight. I don't know how much longer I can be arrogant?However, Lu Qi'an is really not interested in "seeing injustices and drawing swords to help" and "heroes saving beauty", and what's more, I'm afraid that girl is not pure-hearted, 50 taels?It's enough to buy more than a dozen of her. Is this really burying your father?Or choose a wealthy home?

Lu Qi'an forgot about the matter of the Zhen family when he saw it, and didn't take it to heart.

Lin's Backyard

Lin Daiyu is a small one, wrapped in a silver cloak, with only a small face showing, sitting on the couch in front of the window in a daze.The girl next to her didn't dare to persuade her, ever since her own girl knew that she was going to go to the ancestral home outside the capital with the two young cousins, she was always so dazed, and sometimes she shed tears without knowing what to think...

At first, the maids would persuade her, but they couldn't persuade her if she could, and because of her wife's passing away during this time, it seemed that the girl's health, which had been raised with great difficulty in the past few years, was not good again.

"Girl, the young master of the Lu family in the front yard sent someone a gift for the girl, do you want to see it?"

"Big cousin of the Lu family? What gift?" Because Lin Ruhai often mentioned Lu Qi'an in front of Daiyu, praising Lu Qi'an as talented, intelligent, calm-tempered, and sure to do something in the future, Daiyu still has a good impression of Lu Qi'an as a big cousin.It's just that Daiyu lives in the inner house, and the two cousins ​​are just met by Lu Qian on the day they arrived, so they are not very close.

"It's a pottery puppet, and a wooden pen holder, look, girl." As she said, Xueyan had already brought the things to Lin Daiyu in a trembling manner.

"Although it's not very delicate, it's quite interesting. I like it very much. Thank you, cousin Lu, for me." The Lin family is rich, and Daiyu is the only daughter of the Lin family. There are no brothers and sisters on it, and this is the first time that someone other than her parents gave her these gadgets, and they were carefully selected at first glance. Daiyu held them in her hands and played with them, and there was a smile on her face.

"Once upon a time, I heard from my mother that besides my eldest cousin, my third aunt's family also had a second cousin and a cousin. What kind of gift do you think I should return? I heard from my father that my eldest cousin is also a chess player and is good at chess. You say I Can you give my new chess record to my cousin?"

"But, isn't that what the girl just begged from the master with great difficulty? The girl hasn't even looked at it yet." So I sent it out...

"It's because I like it that I want to give it to my eldest cousin. Is it okay to give a gift to something I don't like? I just don't know what the second cousin and cousin like?"

Lin Daiyu thought about returning the gift to Lu Qi'an, for a moment she forgot the sorrow of losing her mother, and cheered up, which greatly relieved the girl and woman beside her.

When Lin Ruhai heard the news in the front yard, he was delighted at the moment, and regretted at the same time, "It would be great if Daiyu was born a few years earlier..." He didn't mind letting Lu Qi'an be his son-in-law, but it's a pity that the two have a different age The ones are a bit big.

"Is the boat back to Gusu arranged?"

"Go back to the master, everything has been arranged."

"It's fine...cough cough..."

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it will be February next year.This year, because the eldest son was not around, Jia Xuan was very uncomfortable.Obviously only one person is missing, but the family seems to be missing a lot of laughter.Fortunately, my son is coming back soon.

"Mom, hurry up."

"Come on, come on... Cen'er, it's not my mother who said you, you will be twelve years old, you are a big girl, why are you still frizzy, not stable at all" This is not modern, 12 years old or At the age of primary school, the 12-year-old girls here have begun to discuss marriage, and they will get married in a few years, and they are already half adults.

"Mother, oops, I got it, so don't read it, come back, I will be steady when I come back, okay, it's hard today, Dad Xiumu, our family is going to the temple, you hurry up, Xin'an and I both Wait in a hurry."

The little girl has been stuck in the mansion for several months, and she finally got a chance to let her go, so her heart is already flying.

"let's go"

The mother and son got into the carriage, and Lu Yan followed outside on horseback. As soon as they left the alley, Xin'an and Cen'er took each side, pulled the curtain of the carriage by a gap, and peeked out through the gap.

Jia Xuan saw that the two children were well behaved, so she didn't care too much, she just leaned on the pillow and closed her eyes to rest.

"Mom, I want to eat candied haws, sugar figurines, sugar paintings, tofu curds, and stinky tofu."

"Girls can't eat too much sugar, it will damage your teeth."

"I don't eat too much, just taste it, mother, okay?" The little girl tugged on Jia Xuan's sleeve and acted like a baby.

"No, candied haws, sugar figurines, and sugar paintings can only be the same." Jia Xuan remained unmoved.

"Then I want candied haws, and Xin'an wants sugar paintings."

"I don't want it, and I don't eat sugar paintings." Lu Xin'an curled her lips, and the little girl always used him as an excuse to cheat food and drink.

"You, you, you are so stupid, and I didn't let you really eat it. If you don't eat it, I can eat it..."

"That's not okay, I bought sugar paintings for you, and mother won't let me buy anything else..." Lu Xin'an refused to budge.

Then the two children started fighting in the carriage. They didn't come back to their senses until the carriage left the city gate. Unfortunately, they had already left the city, so they didn't have time to buy anything...

"It's all your fault"

"It's all your fault"

In February, the weeping willows by the river have just sprouted new buds, and the grass in the field has just sprouted. Occasionally, there are unknown wild flowers dotted with color, and everything looks so vibrant.

The temple that Jia Xuan and her family are going to today is a small temple located fifty miles southeast of the outskirts of Beijing, called Taihua Temple.This Taihua Temple is enshrined in a Taoist dojo. There are not many people who go up the mountain to worship, but the scenery on the mountain is very good, especially next to a beautiful natural lake. Many people will invite friends to come for picnics in spring and autumn. .

"Wow, it's so beautiful." The scenery of lakes and mountains is really beautiful.

Under the cover of long sleeves, Jia Xuan and Lu Yan walked halfway across the lake hand in hand, and the two young children were still screaming excitedly.

"Mom, look, there are fish inside, such a big fish"

"Yes, and the fish here is especially delicious." Jia Xuan smiled. "I asked your father to bring a fishhook, and we will all go fishing later to see who catches the most fish... At noon, we will eat fresh fish soup"

The two young children had no objections, and each of the four members of the family chose a location not far away to fish quietly.

Looking at Xin'an, Cen'er held his breath and focused on fishing, while Lu Yan nodded with a smile. Although the two children were making a fuss, they were allowed to be fucked by their wife for such a long time. Now when it's time to calm down, they are quite able to hold their temper. .

"Huh? Again...haha..." Jia Xuan seemed to be very lucky today. Not long after she sat down, she caught several fish. Although they were only the size of a palm, they were enough to cook a pot of soup.

Looking at the father and son, Lu Yan caught two, but they were only as long as fingers;

"Xin'an, you are doomed to lose today." It turned out that the two children just had a bet.

"That's not necessarily true. I don't know who will win." Xin'an looked a little anxious, but tried her best to pretend that nothing had happened.

Suddenly, his swim bladder moved quickly, and just when he thought it was an illusion, it moved violently again, Xin An hurried to the recovery line, "Big fish, it's a big fish, Dad, come and help me, I can't hold it any longer..."

Lu Yan who was next to him hurried over to help, and the father and son worked together to finally throw the big fish ashore. It was really not small at first glance, weighing almost five catties.

"Haha, I won, I won"

"Hmph, isn't it just a fish? Next time I will definitely catch a bigger one"

At that moment, Lu Yan started to clean up all the fish, then gathered firewood and set up a fire.

Because there were a lot of fish caught today, Jia Xuan didn't stew all of them in one pot. She also saved a few fishes and put them on the processed wooden sticks, sprinkled them with seasonings, brushed them with oil and roasted them on the fire.

Soon, the strong fragrance wafted everywhere.

"Mother, your skill is really good, I will try it later..."

Lu Xin'an nodded in agreement again and again, and even Lu Yan looked proud.

"This craft is really rare..."

Cen'er was holding the grilled fish and was about to put it in his mouth, when two people walked by, the one in front looked older with graying hair, followed by the one in his 50s or [-]s.

Taishanghuang?Lu Yan was startled, and hurriedly pulled Jia Xuan and the two children to kneel down, "Greetings to the Supreme Emperor..."
