Chapter 78 Clear Water
Yangzhou!
After completing his great work, Jia Lian was warmly received by his aunt's family.
Lin Daiyu and Lin Changan saw him again after more than forty days. When they saw their much tanned cousin Lian, they both hid behind their mother and laughed.
In recent days, the two of them had heard their mother talk about him countless times, so they were not much strangers.
"What are you hiding from? Come here and let the second brother hug you."
Jia Lian smiled and reached out to them, "The second brother has brought you good things."
"Second brother, what did you bring?"
Lin Changan stretched his little head curiously behind his mother.
Jia Lian did not answer, but smiled and showed what Wang'er had hidden.
"Wow, candied haws on a stick!"
Lin Chang'an jumped up happily, "Sister, candied haws on a stick."
Lin Daiyu was also very surprised, but she was busy seeing her mother first.
Of course they have eaten candied haws on a stick.
It’s just that mother never gives them more to eat.
Even if her father wanted to bring one, he could only bring one secretly, and she and her brother would share it.
After eating, I have to rinse my mouth constantly to prevent my mother from finding out.
“See what I do?”
Jia Min smiled and touched her daughter’s face, “My brother gave it to you, take it if you like it.”
Today Let them also be happy!
"Hehe, thank you, Brother Lian."
Lin Daiyu ran over with a smile and took the candied haws from her, "Mother, you eat it too."
"Father, you eat it."
Lin Changan followed suit, leaving Jia Lian to stare pitifully, "I bought it from my brother, don't you guys know how to give me one?"
"Here you go!"< br>
“...Here you go!”
After the siblings each fed one to their smiling parents, there were only five left.
Lin Changan was a little reluctant, and his answer was not so crisp.
“Hahaha~”
Jia Lian picked him up and said, “Can’t let him go? I can’t even let him go.”
He bit off one in one bite and said with a smile: "Well, the ones you snatched are still sweeter."
"How old are you?" Jia Min laughed angrily, "It made him cry. Go ahead."
"No way, we are very generous in Chang'an, aren't we?"
"Yes!"
What should I do if it's not the case?
Has been eaten.
Lin Changan, who considered himself a little man, would not cry, "Sister, there are sisters." Seeing his sister's envy, he quickly reminded Jia Lian.
"Haha, no, there is one from my little cousin."
Jia Lian picked up Lin Daiyu with his other hand, and to be fair, he also ate one, seeing that she was a little shy With a smile on his face and joy in his heart, he said, "Cousin, eat more food."
This little body is lighter than my cousin.
It feels like I haven't seen her for more than a month, and she hasn't gained any weight at all.
“Well, today there is longan, barley, and lotus seed soup that she likes.”
My daughter can’t eat it, and Jia Min can’t help it.
I can only find other ways to find someone she likes.
However, this child has been taking medicine since he started eating.
My appetite has been greatly ruined.
Nothing tastes as sweet as Changan.
"Come! Let's all sit down and eat!"
Lin Ruhai hugged her daughter and said with a smile: "I just have something big to announce to you."
Zhezi was sent away, and it was time for his wife and children to return to Beijing with Jia Lian.
"Speaking of which, in a few days, it will be the full moon of Dongfu's little niece. Your aunt has been following me around all these years. I was thinking, Lian'er, when you return to Beijing, it would be okay for your aunt to take care of the two children. Go back and meet the old lady, brother and sister-in-law.”
The Lin family had a hard time, and it was not easy for him to have both sons and daughters. Lin Ruhai was actually very grateful.
"Uncle, is it true?"
Jia Lian was delighted. He looked at his uncle and then his aunt.
"...Really."
Jia Min nodded, "The luggage is ready."
Although she was very reluctant to leave her husband, she really missed Jing. inside.
Missing her mother, her brothers and sisters-in-law, and the nieces and nephews she had met but not met.
"Over in the capital, your uncle has already sent people to clean up the house."
My husband is more careful than her.
Maybe the people sent to Beijing will be able to catch up with the little niece's full moon party.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Putting down his happy little cousin, Jia Lian gave Lin Ruhai a solemn salute, "If the old lady knew about it, she might be very happy."
< br>They were talking happily and had no idea that the Lu family's stable in Nancheng was already on fire.
Not to mention that in an inconspicuous alley, two people were beaten one after another, robbed of money, and stripped of their clothes.
……
In the capital, Ningguo Mansion is busy preparing for Jia Yue’s full moon banquet.
This time, there were a lot of people invited, and of course, there were also many people who wanted to join in the fun.
It’s just that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang disliked this name very much since they heard it.
Their daughter Yuanchun is the eldest daughter of Rongguo Mansion. Yingchun and Tanchun came one after another in her name. Shouldn't this fourth child be called after her sisters?
But Shen and Jia Zhen, on the other hand, actually gave their daughters different names and followed their brothers' names, making it seem as if their daughter was more precious than theirs.
It’s rare for a husband and wife to be on the same channel, unhappy about Jia Yue’s name.
“I don’t know what’s going on with Yuanchun.”
Mrs. Wang misses her daughter very much, “Master, do you think we should pass some more things in?”
“ ..."
Jia Zheng’s brows furrowed and he did not speak immediately.
"The emperor granted my sister-in-law a first-class imperial title and rewarded me with so many things. After my sister-in-law is finished confinement, she will definitely go to the palace to thank her."
Wang asked tentatively, " I'll ask my sister-in-law to help me mention Yuan Chun, what do you think?"
"...I think it will work!"
Jia Zheng is also thinking about it, "Let the old lady talk to you tomorrow. A sound.”
He no longer counted on Wang.
Wang has offended her sister-in-law several times, so it might be better for her not to mention Yuanchun.
“My sister-in-law liked Yuanchun very much back then.”
Jia Zheng thought this was not a big problem, “When she went to thank her, we also sent a message in advance and asked Yuanchun to meet her first. She might be better."
"Yeah!"
Wang felt that what Jia Zheng said was very reasonable, and nodded after hearing this, "I'll let someone take care of it. . ”
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a problem for my daughter to stay in the palace like this day after day.
Ms. Wang became happy and was about to say something else when a maid hurried in and said, "Master, madam, the old lady wants you to go quickly. Someone from the Lin family in Jiangnan has gone to Beijing."
What? ?
Jia Zheng was delighted, “Who is coming?”
"It's a housekeeper and two housekeepers from the Lin family. They went to Beijing to clean up the yard. They said that my aunt is bringing the young master and young cousin to Beijing to visit the bride."
Great. "Is Lian'er going to come back with them?"
No wonder she hasn't come back until now.
"Yes!"
The maid nodded happily, "The second master wants to protect my aunt and the others when they go to Beijing together."
"Okay, okay!"
Jia Zheng said to Wang who was in a daze: "Quickly, let's go to the mother's courtyard to discuss it. Sister Min finally returned to Beijing, and she can't live outside."
There is a yard at home.
“I remember her yard…”
"Master, that's for Baoyu."
She packed it up very well.
"Baoyu is still young, and doesn't he live with the old lady?"
Jia Zheng was unhappy, "Okay, just her original yard. When my mother asked, you do the same Said. "
The yard is big, and it's just right for my sister to live with her nephew and niece.
Jia Zheng dropped these words, flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave, with no intention of waiting for Wang.
Wang had no choice but to follow.
At this time, Jia Mu was already so happy that she didn’t know what to do.
Her favorite little daughter has been married for more than ten years. Except for the two years when she was still in Beijing, she could see her, and then she could only write letters.
Hui Hui writes that the words are like the face, but how can the words really be like the face?
"It's rare that Lian'er is a person who does big things and can bring her aunt back."
During this period, Jia's mother particularly missed this grandson who could do anything. Now she heard that he also wanted to escort her daughter and grandson. When my granddaughter came back, she really liked her even more. "I came here to tell you that Min'er can't live outside when she comes back. She will still live in her original yard."
"Of course!"
"That's what I was saying to Mrs. Wang."
Jia She and Jia Zheng spoke almost at the same time.
The two looked at each other and looked away at the same time.
“Okay, okay!”
Jia’s mother is too lazy to watch the quarrel between their brothers. Anyway, when her daughter comes back, she will always help her brothers reconcile. “After all these years, our family can finally be together again. The family is reunited. If you take a good look at her yard, you must restore it to its original state."
The yard has been given to Baoyu by default. I heard that Wang is looking for someone to do it here today and tomorrow. I did it there.
It turns out that Jia Mu didn’t care.
But now her daughter is coming back, and Baoyu is still young.
“If there is anything missing, just look for it in the treasury. If there is nothing in the treasury, just come to me.”
“Don’t worry, mother, your sons will know.”
This time, Jia Zheng spoke before Jia She, "Where are the Lin family members? Are you leaving so soon?"
He likes Lin's brother-in-law very much, but it's a pity that they are too far apart, and now someone comes to his family , it’s time to talk.
"Oh, they just went to Dongfu."
Jia Mu smiled, "Lian'er must have told your sister about Shen's birth, and it will be Yue's tomorrow. It’s the full moon banquet, it’s time to go and say hello.”
My daughter and Mrs. Shen have always been on good terms.
When she comes back, and Lian'er is with her, she won't have any worries at all.
At this time, in Ningguo Mansion, Shen Ning, who was still in confinement, heard that Jia Min was also going to Beijing with her two children. Although she was happy, she still felt something was wrong about returning to Beijing at this time.
She asked the two mothers-in-law carefully about Yangzhou and Jia Lian's affairs.
When she heard that Jia Lian had only been in Yangzhou for a day and went to make salt himself as a gift for his family, she didn't know that Lin Ruhai was giving credit to Jia Lian.
Just this credit...
Thinking that the emperor might have taken action in Jiangnan, Shen Ning couldn't help but panic.
Entered the Red Mansion, gave birth to a daughter safely, survived the calamity of death, seemed to have done some things, and put everything in the Jia family in a good place, but this can only be seen from the joint frame-up of Chen Chong and the Li family. , knowing that this world is far more cruel than she imagined.
At this time, Lin Ruhai asked Jia Min to take the children to Beijing, presumably foreseeing the danger.
Will their journey... be safe?
Lin Changan’s death will be this year.
If you avoid Yangzhou, will you really pass the disaster?
After Jia Zhen's serious injury, Shen Ning didn't dare to be careless anymore. She smiled and asked about Jia Min's physical condition and the situation of the two children, and then praised them for the gifts they brought specially. Serve tea to guests.
"Please Jiao Da!"
Fortunately tomorrow is Yue'er's full moon feast.
As soon as the full moon banquet is over, it should not be too late to dispatch ten palace guards to welcome them.
“Call the uncle over here again.”
It’s not a problem for just their family to send people to greet them. Jia Zhen has to discuss with Jia She, and a few people from the West Mansion should also be sent there. That's good.
This not only shows attention, but also helps immediately if something goes wrong.
At this time, Shen Ning couldn't care less about being happy that she was going to see Lin Daiyu, who had been famous for a long time, so she forced Jia Zhen to find Jia She that day.
In a word, she shouldn't be surprised at all.
……
The eighth day of May, Taixuan Temple.
Early in the morning, people in the audience smelled the strange aroma coming from the kitchen.
The stomachs of the two sweepers couldn't help but make a few noises, "What delicious food is Senior Brother Liu making today?"
"It's not Senior Brother Liu."
The older Taoist Tongsi took a look and whispered: "I heard that the noodle restaurant at the foot of the mountain wants to borrow our kitchen and give each of us in the temple a bowl of longevity noodles."
Huh?
The little Taoist boy was pleasantly surprised. Before he could ask why the noodle shop was so good, the older Taoist boy spoke again, "I heard from Brother Liu that this bowl of noodles is all because of Jia Jushi. His wife was born I have a little daughter. Today is the girl’s full moon.”
Xiao Daotong: “…”
Of course he knows Jia Jia.
Many of their Taoist robes, shoes and socks were donated by the Jia family.
Mrs. Shen had given them snacks many times before when they were still in Guanwai Courtyard.
It's a pity...
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!"
The little Taoist boy went to the direction of the capital and bowed a few times, "Brother, let's recite "The Supreme Jade Emperor's Heart Seal Sutra" today. Let’s do it!”
“Okay! I guess the temple master, uncle, and brothers will also help me recite it a few times.”
Before Jia Jia came, the Taoist temple was very poor. .
Senior uncles and senior brothers all take turns to travel.
It’s not that they want to travel, but that the Taoist temple cannot support so many of them, so they have to go down the mountain to treat people, read Feng Shui, and accumulate merit while also supporting themselves. In winter, they have to Get yourself a thick robe.
Until Jia Jushi came over.
Another courtyard was built outside the temple. Because so many people were invited, even the Taoist temple with them received more incense.
In recent years, because of Jia Jia, everyone in their Taoist temple has benefited.
He no longer has to worry about not having enough to eat.
The two of them speeded up the cleaning. Fortunately, not long after they finished their work here, Senior Brother Liu called for dinner.
The soup base made from all kinds of mushrooms is fragrant and appetizing. Coupled with the green vegetables and chives, and the sesame oil dripping on it, oh my, it is full of color, flavor and aroma!
Everyone was looking forward to the longevity noodles that were about to be served, but what they didn’t expect was that there was a bowl of longevity noodles that was completely different from them.
Jia Jing has also smelled the fragrance long ago.
He used to never tire of fine food and fine food, but now he lives in this Taoist temple. Although he can still live a good life, this food... he still misses it very much sometimes.
But just now he was looking forward to this bowl of noodles, and now he is speechless.
"Jia Jia, this is what Mrs. Shen meant."
The noodle shop owner was also helpless. He made a lot of noodles in the kitchen, and even today's pilgrims can have a bowl of them. , but Mrs. Shen, who gave the money, said that Jia Jiaji would either not eat it, or... he would only get clear water.
The clear water is boiled, put some salt, some vegetable oil, add chopped green onion and green vegetables.
It would be a good bowl of noodles even for poor people, but this one...
"Hmm~, it smells good!"
Jia Jing picked up his bowl of noodles as if he were eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. Every bite is super fragrant.
Thanks to book friends Yaya Go Wandering, Ace’s Wife, I Am Sister, and Fried Beans with Carrots for being delicious and not getting tired of it. Thank you! Thanks! ! !
