[Red Mansions] Why does Xiaoye want to whitewash

The Xue family also received a letter from the Rongguo Mansion, and when they learned that Jia Lian's transfer had come down, they immediately prepared to send someone to make an appointment with Jia Lian on a departure time.

"Mom, my daughter heard about the letter from the capital?" Xue Baochai, who already looked like a grown-up girl, walked in gracefully, and asked with a smile, "Then shall we leave soon?"

Mrs. Xue Wang nodded, the smile on his face never falling, "Your cousin wrote specifically to let us go back with brother Lian of their eldest house. His daughter-in-law is your direct cousin, and my son has never seen her before." !"

"My daughter also admires her cousin very much."

Xue Baochai smiled softly. She had heard her mother tell her about the grand family affairs of her aunt and uncle. Now that she had the opportunity to see her, she was naturally looking forward to it with joy.

"Where's your brother?"

"Daughter doesn't know." Baochai heard her mother ask about her brother, and there was a little worry on her brows, "I took my servant out early..."

When Xue Wang heard this, he threw a cup on the ground angrily, "Baba snatched Xiangling back, and almost got a life lawsuit. He is fine! He doesn't care at all, and he still makes troubles all day long! How can our mother and daughter suffer so much!"

Baochai pursed her lips and felt a little sad. I heard that my aunt’s cousin was admitted to Jinshi in a serious manner, and my uncle’s cousin had already changed his past, but my brother had to let the family go to school every day. Follow up to clean up the mess...

"Forget it..." Mrs. Xue waved her hands a little discouraged, "I'm looking forward to this time when our family comes to Beijing, we can ask your uncle and aunt to help discipline us, at least we should stop messing around like this, otherwise why would he attack the door?" Lihu, how can I help you back up?"

"mom--"

Jia Lian didn't know how Xue's mother and daughter felt sorry for themselves. He didn't expect to return to Beijing so soon.

Re-invited craftsmen to open and build the yard they rented before, and discussed with the owner's family when the time came to return the house, and then sorted out the objects.Half a month later, the new county magistrate arrived in Changzhi County.

He did not arrive late like Jia Lian, and the half-afternoon time did not delay the handover work at all. Jia Lian's own accounts were clear, and the other party was very polite, so the handover between the two went very smoothly.

The new county magistrate came earlier, and his family member Wang Xifeng received him for a while, and then he made a complaint, saying that he could not take good care of him, and according to her and Jia Lian's arrangement, it would be a pity that those things that could not be taken away were cheap for others, so they sent people to take care of them. Sent to Di Ge there.

He was just engaged to the daughter of the carpenter's family, but he didn't get married. At that time, Mr. Fu came forward as an elder, and Jia Lian also acted as a witness, promising that one of Brother Di's children would be named carpenter in the future.

Brother Dee is a strong one. In the past two years, he has been working hard and did not want to receive too much favor to make his younger brothers and sisters shorter. Now these things cannot be taken away, but he did not refuse.And with these, he could have a more decent wedding.

After the handover, they spent the night in the rented yard nearby, and returned the yard early the next day, ready to leave.

After all, it was the place where he stayed for three years, even Wang Xifeng, who wanted to go back to Beijing, was a little bit reluctant, not to mention the children who had a good time here, laying down by the window of the car, wanting to take a last look at the county scene.

A group of people were on the carriage, and it was not easy to drive too fast in the county, so they walked slowly. The people around probably knew the news that Jia Lian was leaving, and many people said goodbye to them on both sides of the road.

At first, he thought he would ride his horse and leave here directly after leaving the county gate, but before the carriage at the back left the county, Jia Lian heard some noise in the front, and then the driver outside the carriage said to the masters: "My lord, there are still some people outside the county. Come to see you and Second Mistress off..."

Jia Lian was a little surprised, and Wang Xifeng looked at each other, and looked through the car window, Brother Di, the fat aunt's family, the pregnant matchmaker, and even the half-grown boy whom he occasionally taught arithmetic when he had nothing to do...

These people were familiar to him, he never thought that he would come here to see them off, and he didn't know how long he waited, and he was even moved for a while, so he got out of the carriage with Wang Xifeng.

"My lord, I made some snacks for you and your wife to eat on the way. Don't be disgusted." The fat lady held a clean food box and wanted to pass it to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian glanced at it and stretched out her hand to stop it. Seeing that the fat aunt was still anxious to give it to him, she quickly said, "I didn't say no, I just wanted to replace the food box."

When the fat aunt heard this, she laughed, and while handing the food box to the adult's servant, she said, "You are always so thoughtful!"

Jia Lian laughed, "Auntie, you make me feel happy every time you praise me."

I said a few words of farewell to the others, and then waved at them, "Let's all go back, we husband and wife have to hurry, there is no need to send them away."

Wang Xifeng also stood beside Jia Lian, smiling and nodding, and was saying goodbye to Brother Di. Zhongqing and Qin'er also stood beside the carriage after hearing this.

There was a half-grown boy who carefully glanced at the magistrate's wife, and then called out "My lord" in a low voice.

Jia Lian thought he was going to say something, so he lowered his head, but he didn't expect the child to whisper in his ear: "Although your lord is a good man, my parents said that a man should not be suppressed by a woman, otherwise he won't be able to stand up in the future." !"

"What do you know, kid!" Jia Lian patted his head and said angrily, "My wife and I are deeply in love with each other!"

The children did not get off the carriage, but they were all paying attention to the situation outside. Their carriage approached, and they could not help but snigger when they heard what the two of them said clearly.

Wang Xifeng cast a sidelong glance at Jia Lian, and said to the young man, "Did you hear that? You adults are so happy!"

"Yes yes yes—" Jia Lian nodded, smiled and waved to everyone, and helped Wang Xifeng to start on the road again.

They arrived in Yangzhou City in the evening. While arranging for everyone to settle down, Lin Ruhai informed Jia Lian and his wife that he had ordered his servants to pack up the salutes of Daiyu and his brother. Obviously, he had decided to let them go back to Beijing.

Daiyu couldn't hold back her tears at that time, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng saw it, looked at each other and left without disturbing their father and son's conversation.

"Father, my daughter doesn't want to leave you so far..."

Lin Ruhai couldn't bear to look at his daughter's tears, but he could only comfort him: "Your grandmother loves your mother very much, and she has long wanted to send you there for your father, just for your mother, so that the old man can relieve some of her thoughts. Feelings."

Lin Daiyu choked with sobs and shook her head, Lin Ke's eye circles gradually turned red, but she didn't make a sound.

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai sighed rather distressedly, and said, "Maybe it won't be long, and there is a chance to return to Beijing as a father, you brothers and sisters, please be patient..."

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she paused her tear-wiping hand, raised her head and asked in surprise, "Is what you said true?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head, "As a father, I can't tell you with certainty when your siblings will be reunited, and you still have to listen to His Majesty's arrangement, whether it will be a year or two, or even longer..."

That's good too, originally Lin Daiyu also knew that they were definitely going back to Beijing with Lian's second brother, but now that her father might also return to Beijing, she had something to look forward to.

Although Lin Ke was young, she was always wise and stronger than her elder sister. After listening to her father's words, she shed tears, hugged her father and said, "Father, you need to come early, my elder sister and I will wait for you. "

Lin Ruhai patted his son's head, very relieved, "Take care of your sister for me..."

And with this pair of caring children caring about him, Lin Ruhai naturally paid more attention to his body, and asked the old doctor to take his pulse again later, and prepared to take care of it carefully, so that he could watch the Lin family prosper in the future.

Of course, Jia Lian was happy to see the success of this, so the old imperial doctor had checked Uncle Lin's pulse, and persuaded him next to him: "Uncle, take good care of your health, and when Daiyu is about ten years old, she can help take care of the housework and take care of you and your family." When Ke'er is here, even if you can't return to Beijing for the time being, you can send their siblings back, and I will help find two nuns to raise Daiyu, and you can teach Ke'er to read by yourself!"

"How can I bear..."

"It's hard for a daughter in this day and age, you can't bear it, won't she be troubled if she gets married in the future? So it's better to be proficient early."

Jia Lian, who has two daughters, has the mentality of an old father early on.The eldest sister is well-behaved, but compared to Qiao's sister, he is more worried about being bullied in the future; although Qiao's daughter is straightforward, the child will not suffer a big loss, but she knows how to find a backer if she can't solve it by herself.

In the past few years, it is completely fine for the two children to follow the rules of the mothers for many years, but sometimes he wishes that his daughters are all scheming, as long as they don't get angry...

It's just that this is all a small calculation in his heart, and he must be read by Wang Xifeng and the others, so he has been bored in his heart.

Because they made an appointment with the Xue family to wait in Yangzhou until the Xue family's fleet arrived, and then they went north by water together.Traveling by water is faster, so Jia Lian was not too worried about delaying his arrival, and besides, Rongguo Mansion still has some glory now, so it's not like it doesn't lose face.

I didn't have the chance to go shopping in Yangzhou City before, and maybe I didn't have the chance to come again, so after learning about the temple fair and night market, Jia Lian decided to take his family around this bustling city at night.

These days there are quite a few kidnappers, with several children, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng naturally arranged enough guards to guard them closely, so they were relieved to let them go out.

They are all young, so naturally they are very happy to come out to play, not to mention that there is an energetic sister Qiao, who ran to the front after strolling for a while.

Because the guards followed closely behind, the husband and wife didn't worry too much, they just followed behind and wandered around by themselves.
