The alternative life of the clever sister of the Red Chamber

At first, Jia Wan thought that what Su Niang said was half-truth, at least the part about her life experience should be true, but in the later getting along, she found that Su Niang knew a lot of things, not to mention cooking skills, she could read and judge He is also very proficient in Chinese characters, rules and etiquette, and seems to be good at tea ceremony, all of which cannot be learned in those few years in the brothel.It seems that there are many suspicious things about Su Niang's life experience, and sometimes Jia Wan doesn't know whether she is right or wrong to take in their mother and daughter.

It's just that she's drifting on the vast water right now, and, this Su Niang is still peaceful on weekdays, so let's do it!If you have a chance in the future, please investigate again!

In the blink of an eye, several months passed, and in midsummer, Jia Wan and his party finally arrived in Hangzhou. Because they were extremely tired, they planned to rest in Hangzhou for a few days before leaving for Fuyuan County, Yunnan.

Before getting off the boat, the captain of the boat quietly called Su Niang aside, taking advantage of the unpreparedness, and stuffed a bag of silver into Su Niang's arms without any explanation, "This is for you, you keep it."

Su Niang looked down at the bag of silver and did not speak. The boss of the boat continued: "I understand what you mean. It's not a big deal for a girl to be floating on the boat all day. I inquired about that family, and it's still a good one." She is also serving the girl, and she is clean. If you need anything, feel free to find us brothers, you know how to contact us. If we have news, we will notify you as soon as possible. You, take good care of the girl !"

Su Niang endured and endured, and finally couldn't help it anymore, "No, let's stop contacting. From now on, Jianghu Stranger, if we meet, let's treat it as if we don't know each other! The little girl living in the rivers and lakes is getting older, and Jiaqi is getting older. I don’t want her to be like me, living a life of no fixed place and a home all over the world. Ms. Jia is kind, and Jiaji will follow her. I am at ease. Wait until Jiaji grows up safely , marry and have a child, I have an account for him. When the time comes, I will go to see him! It is not in vain for his affection for me."

The boss of the boat frowned, looking straight at Su Niang, wanting to get angry, but seeing her face devastated by the years, and her temples that had been stained with snow silk prematurely, the boss of the boat sighed, "Forget it, let it be, if this It's your wish. Just go as you want! From now on, every year on the first day of August, someone will give you a sum of money, and you accept it. This is what he meant, so don't refuse."

Su Niang remained silent, but her eyes were red.The boat boss sighed, shook his head and left.

It took a long time for Su Niang to hold the bag of money and cry.

Because she has heard for a long time that Suzhou and Hangzhou are famous in the sky, Jia Wan only rested in the inn for one day, and took people for a walk around the next day.Jia Yun also knew that being on the boat these days was really a bit restrictive, so she let her go, and only asked Lin Biaotou to arrange a few more people to follow behind, in case she encountered some unscrupulous thieves.

Zhao Mingcang also dressed up in disguise, followed behind Jia Wan, and took a look at the scenery of Hangzhou.

On this day, Jia Wan and his party came to the West Lake.Today is no different than later generations. In later generations, Jia Wan also came to the West Lake, but it was during the [-]-[-] day long holiday. At that time, she came to the West Lake purely to see the people. There were so many people that people regretted it.Unlike today, this is the only way to truly appreciate the essence of the beauty of the West Lake.

At first, it was sunny and sunny, but it started to rain after a while. Jia Wan and others hurriedly hid in the Huxin Pavilion to avoid the rain.

"It's good to see the water shining brightly and sunny, and the mountains to look empty and rainy is strange. If you want to compare the West Lake to the West Lake, light makeup is always suitable. This poem by Su Dongpo is really suitable for the occasion. Isn't it like this in front of you?" Jia Wan held her hand with a smile Stretch outside and play in the rain.

Xiao Hong hurriedly pulled her back, "Miss, this poem reads well, but you are not allowed to play in the water, be careful not to catch a cold."

Jia Wan stuck out her tongue and looked out, "I don't know if I can see the Leifeng Pagoda from here."

Jiaqi asked with a smile: "Miss, do you want to see the sunset of Leifeng? It's raining now, so I don't know if I can see it."

"No, when I passed the broken bridge just now, I thought of Leifeng Pagoda. In fact, Leifeng Pagoda was originally called Huangfei Pagoda, also known as Xiguan Brick Pagoda. It is located on the top of Leifeng Mountain in Xizhao Mountain on the south bank of West Lake. The country was built for the peace of the people. But in folklore, it became the place where Fahai suppressed the White Snake. The imagination of the masses is really rich!" Jia Wan said with a smile.

Jiaqi's eyes widened, "Is the girl telling the story of the White Snake? I also like this story very much! The white lady is so pitiful, that Fa Hai is really meddling in her own business."

Xiaohong also nodded, "That's right, the husband and wife are living a good life, whether it's human or demon has nothing to do with him, use him to make trouble."

Then these two people started to crusade against Fahai, and by the way, they praised Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing greatly.

Jia Wan was a little puzzled after listening for a long time, "Don't you think that Xu Xian is too indecisive? He just has soft ears!" Seeing Jiaqi and Xiaohong's blank faces, Jia Wan hurriedly changed the word.

Jiaqi blinked, "The ears are soft? Are you there? Xu Xian is a scholar, knowledgeable and reasonable, and has a gentle personality."

Jia Wan rolled her eyes, "He is knowledgeable and reasonable, with a gentle personality, but his ears are soft and he has no responsibility. He is a man, and he has the responsibility and obligation to protect his family, but look at him, he will only cry when he encounters problems. Just with..."

Xiao Hong spoke quickly, "Just like Second Master Bao!"

Jia Wan looked at Xiao Hong and smiled, "You said that, but I didn't."

Xiaohong curled her lips, "What are you afraid of? This is outside. Could it be possible that there is an ear report god who can pass it back to the mansion? But girl, I think it is the same. Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi are living well. Hai just said a word, and he began to doubt his wife who was sleeping with him. The White Snake saved him, but he was afraid of avoiding the White Snake, and even ran to Fahai. If it wasn't for him, the White Snake would It's not like flooding Jinshan, causing a catastrophe, and finally being crushed by Fahai under the Leifeng Pagoda. What's the use of Xu Xian coming to regret it at that time!" Xiao Hong said with a gloomy expression.

Jia Wan smiled, "There is some truth in what you said. Jiaqi, you also remember that no matter how good-looking a man like Xu Xian is, no matter how much he reads, no matter how gentle and polite he is, you can't accept him." Yes. Otherwise, you will be like this white lady, and it will be too late to regret."

Zhao Mingcang stood at the back, and after hearing this, he secretly marveled, how different this Jia Wan was from other ladies!When most people heard the story of The Legend of the White Snake, they were either moved by the relationship between Bai and Xu, or angry at Fa Hai's ruthlessness, but few people noticed Xu Xian's shortcomings.But what she said was true, this Xu Xian was indeed a little indecisive in terms of feelings.

Jia Yun smiled helplessly after hearing this, "Big sister, don't say that again. Fortunately, this is outside. If you are in the mansion, it depends on whether the old lady and the ladies will punish you!"

Su Niang's face was pale, and she came back to her senses at this time, "That's right, I can't say this again in the future. If outsiders hear it, it will be bad for the girl's boudoir reputation." Then she whispered to Jiaqi, "But girl What you said makes sense, and you have to keep it in your heart, Jiaqi." At the end, he added in his heart, don't be stupid like a mother, and be blinded by the beauty on the surface.

Jiaqi nodded, "I see."

When the rain stopped, Jia Wan rubbed her belly, "Oh, I'm hungry after walking around for so long, let's find a place to eat! I don't know if there is any good place nearby."

Su Niang smiled, "A few hundred meters ahead, there is a Taibai Building, where the Longjing shrimp and West Lake vinegar fish are the most authentic, you might as well try it."

Jia Yun smiled and said, "I was going to talk about this too. But I was preempted by Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang has good eyesight!"

Su Niang lowered her head, "I also heard it from someone."

Jia Wan said with a smile: "Okay, then Taibailou! By the way, there are also Zhiweiguan's dim sum. Big brother, send someone to Zhiweiguan to buy some! It's just a taste."

Su Niang stopped talking this time, and Jia Yun said with a smile: "Yes, I heard that Zhiweiguan's fresh meat dumplings, cat's ears, and vegetarian roast goose with glutinous rice are unique, so let's just call them these!"

Jia Wan, who ate a meal, was full of praise. Xiaohong smiled and said, "Thanks for coming with the girl, otherwise how could I eat such authentic Hangzhou dishes and snacks! The mansion also invited a Hangzhou restaurant a few years ago." The chef who came here turned out that the dishes he cooked were not as delicious as today, not even half of them."

Jia Wan smiled and said: "How can this be compared? The ingredients and water here are all locally sourced, and they are the freshest. When you arrive at the mansion, you don't pay so much attention. You can only adapt to local conditions and use local materials. So it's impossible. It's authentic."

After Jia Yun finished eating, she wiped her mouth and asked through the screen, "Big sister, where are we going this afternoon?"

Jia Wan thought for a while, "Let's not go shopping this afternoon, let's rent a boat, and let's go boating on the West Lake!"

Jiaqi nodded excitedly, "Okay, okay, we can go fishing and cook West Lake vinegar fish to eat at night. Let my mother do it. Although my mother's West Lake vinegar fish is not as good as this Taibailou's, it tastes good! "

"Okay, fishing is fishing. Let's have a competition to see who catches the most fish. The loser will be fined to grind the ink for a month."

Jia Wan said with a smile.

As soon as Jiaqi heard that there was going to be a competition, she immediately dared not, "I don't want it, I don't dare."

Jia Wan kept a straight face on purpose, "Why, are you sure that you can beat me?"

Jiaqi smiled embarrassedly, "Girl forgot, I grew up on a boat, and I often fished when I was young. But when it comes to fishing, even Uncle Zhang is no match for me."

Su Niang also smiled, "Girl, Jiaqi didn't lie, she doesn't know what's going on with her, she is very good at fishing, the same place, the same bait, the fish are willing to catch her hook, girl, don't compare with her .”
