Zhen Lian of the Red Chamber

The box had already been opened, and the contents inside were poured out. Zhen Lian took a closer look, and it turned out to be a few big gold ingots!I suddenly laughed, I don't know how many there are, they are so heavy!

Going over to put the box at attention, she saw that there were dozens of others in the box. Zhen Lian picked up the ones on the ground and put them in. She sat on the couch with the box in her arms, and said with a smile, "How come there are so many gold gifts?"

Mother Zhen took a look, "They want us to shut up, so they will naturally take the money! When Jia Yucun wanted to leave Jiao Xing, he also gave your grandfather a hundred gold. I think it's almost that much here!"

Zhen Lian counted, there are twenty in total, one is about five taels, which is exactly 100 taels of gold, and if it is exchanged for silver, it is usually 1000:[-], which is [-] taels!

Zhen Lian couldn't help being surprised, this official was really good, so much money was given away without any regrets, one can imagine how much he earned when he was an official!

"Is that how we take it?" Zhen Lian looked at the gold and hesitated.

Mother Zhen picked up a few with a smile and looked at them, but they were all unmarked. "Naturally, we have to accept it, otherwise they would think we have some ideas! From now on, we will return to each other, and they will have nothing to do with each other!"

After Zhen Lian heard this, she put it away, and just regarded Jia Yucun as compensation for her sins. With Jia Yucun's money, she felt no pressure.

Looking at other things, there is only a pack of bird's nest and a pack of snacks.Putting away all the things, Zhen Lian couldn't help but feel a little happy. With this money, it is not a problem to buy dozens of acres of good land in the suburbs of Beijing. If the rest is to buy some things, the few of them will be able to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. !

The boat continued to move forward, and Zhen Lian returned to her previous life, only going out once or twice a day, talking to Liu Xianglian, and then wandering around before going back to her room.Sometimes I went to talk to Lin Daiyu to relieve boredom, but the wind on the boat was so strong that Lin Daiyu didn't dare to come out for fear of getting sick, so she just read and wrote in the room every day, and when Zhen Lian went, she just talked and came back. Gradually, the two became familiar with each other. A few points.

That day Zhen Lian and Liu Xianglian came back after they had dispersed, and when they got to Lin Daiyu's door, they heard her coughing from inside the room.Zhen Lian went over and knocked on the door lightly, "Miss Lin, I'm here." She was fine yesterday, why is she sick today!

Immediately, the voice of Xueyan came from the room, and he came to open the door after a while, "Please come in, girl."

Zhen Lian followed her in, and saw Lin Daiyu half lying on the couch in front of the window drinking medicine, Zijuan was serving her.

Lin Daiyu wiped the corners of her mouth, put on a smile and said, "Sister, sit down quickly, Xueyan, hurry up and serve tea!"

Zhen Lian went over to take a look at her, saw that her face was flushed and tired, and she said, "But I'm sick again, I was fine yesterday, why are you sick today?" Touching her hand again, she felt cold to the bone , hurriedly grabbed her hand and put it under the quilt, "Why are your hands so cold, quickly put them under the quilt to warm them up."

Lin Daiyu smiled: "I'm like this every day, it's not because I'm sick. Because I went to bed late yesterday, I have some headaches today. It's not a big deal, sister, don't worry."

Zhen Lian also knew that she was a weakling in the womb, and it was rare to be cured. In addition, she was a person with seven apertures and a delicate heart. Being in this situation, she was even more depressed, and it was rare to be cured!

If there are gods in this world, then this Lin Daiyu came to repay her tears. After repaying her tears, the cause and effect will be settled, and she will become a fairy.It's just that I'm still crying for a lifetime, I don't know what the result will be, I just hope for the best of both worlds!

Zijuan saw that Lin Daiyu was avoiding the important and taking the light, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhen, you have to persuade our girl. We have persuaded us a lot, but she just doesn't listen. She is so sad that she sheds tears every day. Isn't this disease coming again? She doesn't even eat If you don’t drink medicine, how can this disease be cured!”

Xueyan also nodded to help, "Yes, girl, you should eat more, you will be fine if you are not sick! Seven or eight days out of ten, I don't know what to do. If this continues, we will How can I live up to the entrustment of the master!" said with tears in his eyes, trying not to let the tears fall.

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but burst into tears, and sighed: "I know your hearts, but I can't help it!"

When they saw her crying again, they regretted so much that they persuaded and comforted her.Lin Daiyu stopped talking after a while, with a rather embarrassed expression, "I made my sister laugh! I just think of my parents and I miss them a little bit."

Zhen Lian said: "This is human nature, there is nothing to be ashamed of, but you also have to pay attention to your body, I believe Mrs. Lin and his wife must want you to be healthy. You miss you very much every day, which is also your filial piety. , It’s just that you must not make fun of your own body. Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse? Parents, who don’t expect their children to be healthy and happy, don’t they still have to worry about you now?”

Zijuan Xueyan also echoed, and Lin Daiyu lowered her head in thought for a while, then raised her head and smiled, "I see, I just hope that my parents can feel at ease, I can do whatever I want."

"That's it, you have to remember to do what you said, don't be like before! The girl is doing well, and the master and wife are at ease! When I return to Beijing, the old lady will be more happy to see her!" Zijuan stood aside Clapped happily.

The Jia family?The Jia family is not only her last backing, but also more likely to be her reminder!Zhen Lian couldn't help thinking.

After talking about the conversation, Zhen Lian went back to her room. It was already the seventh day of sailing, and she was getting closer to Beijing.Thinking of what Liu Xianglian said just now, the Jia family must be planning to build a grand view garden now!I don't know if it's true that the Jia family used the Lin family's money. If so, the things brought back in this boat are the Jia family's in time!

Looking outside the boat, it turns out that the speed of the boat is a bit faster than before. In this way, the next trip will be shortened by one-third, and it will take less than ten days to arrive.

After telling Zhen's mother about this, Zhen's mother smiled and said: "That's good, I will spend less time on this boat."

That's true, although neither of them was seasick on the boat, they were still not used to it. Mother Zhen had lost a lot of weight in the past few days, but luckily her health was fine.This seems to be a good thing to speed up!

Time flies, and the scenery and buildings on the shore gradually change day by day. Zhen Lian knows that it is almost here.

In the past few days, Zhen Lian and Zhen's mother have been packing up their things. After living on the boat for so long, many things have been taken out and used, and now they have to pack up and put them away one by one.Keeping the things that will be used in the past few days, and put away the rest, Zhen Lian smiled, because these days are too busy, the two of them packed up so early, and then resumed the previous days.

After three days, Liu Xianglian said: "I'm going to Beijing at noon tomorrow, you guys are ready to prepare."

"We've already packed up, just some daily things to collect, what about yours?"

Liu Xianglian smiled, "I don't have anything. I'll pack it up tomorrow morning. I've already sent a letter to ask Uncle Liu to bring someone to pick us up. We'll go straight to Zhuangzi when we get off the boat tomorrow. It's already packed up there."

Zhen Lian said: "Who else is in your family? Tell me I have a clue." I haven't asked before, but now I have to be clear.

"There are only four members of our family. They are the elderly of our family. Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu will come to pick us up tomorrow. They also have two sons and a daughter. The daughter is married and lives near our Zhuangzi. The two sons used to follow me, and the eldest, Liu Shan, was married and gave birth to a daughter." Liu Xianglian thought about it again, "I told you before that they lived on Zhuangzi and took care of Zhuangzi, and Liushan and Liushui will follow me from now on. , other people are there to take care of you, how do you think?"

Zhen Lian thought for a while, then shook her head, "There are only two of you there, in case you have guests and friends, how would you greet them, it's better to keep a few more in the city, mother and I can just come by ourselves."

Liu Xianglian thought about it, and said: "Then I will take Liu Shan and Liu Shui, and Liu Shu and his wife will follow you, so I can rest assured."

That's fine, the two agreed to go back to pack their things.Entering the room and telling Mother Zhen the news, she immediately burst into a smile, "It's almost here, I'm about to fall apart!" She quickly got up and packed up the rest of the things. I have three sets of my own clothes, and a few other small items.On the contrary, I only made a set of clothes for Mother Zhen and Liu Xianglian, and it was gone, even if she only made a small amount of clothes a day, Zhen Lian didn't care, she folded them and packed them up.

After turning around, everything that can be collected has been collected, and the rest will be packed tomorrow.Go to the box where your belongings are stored, open them one by one, and click them up one by one. Now my mother and daughter are considered to be a little bit rich.What Liu Xianglian put in her place is also very impressive, and I have to give them to him when I get to Beijing, so as not to be inconvenient when I ask for them.

After counting, take a small lock and lock it, and put the key away.Turning around, I saw that Mother Zhen had also packed up, and pulled her to sit down to rest, "Sit down first, and the rest will wait for tomorrow. Brother Liu is ready to pick you up when we get off the boat tomorrow, let's go to his village."

"Well, you can make arrangements." He thumped his back with his backhand, and his back was a little sore after packing up some things. He was really old!old!

Seeing this, Zhen Lian got up and went around her back and thumped her lightly, "What else is uncomfortable? I'll give you more thumps."

Mother Zhen pointed out several places, and Zhen Lian focused on these places.

After beating for a while, Zhen's mother felt that her daughter's strength had weakened, and knowing that she was tired, she said, "Okay, it's very comfortable, let's beat again next time!"

Zhen Lian stopped her hands and sat down, the two looked outside and talked.

The second day arrived in a blink of an eye, woke up early in the morning, after washing up, the two of them packed up the last things and put them together, then sat by the window and watched the scenery outside.Now it is only half a day away from Jingli. The scenery here should be almost the same as that of Jingli. The more you walk to the shore, the more prosperous it becomes.

When it was time to go out, Zhen Lian came to the deck, and Liu Xianglian was still standing there waiting for her as before.Zhen Lian ran over and said, "Have you packed your things?"

Liu Xianglian nodded, "It's ready, it will arrive in another hour, you are ready. When the boat stops, I will wait for you in front of your boat. You don't need to worry about your luggage. I will call someone to carry it."

"Okay, I won't tell you any more, I'll say goodbye to Miss Lin." After Zhen Lian finished speaking, she waved and turned and ran away.

Liu Xianglian smiled helplessly, turned and went back to the house when she was gone.
