dream of red mansion

"You don't have to be polite, nephew, please sit down."

It was a child of three or four years old!Lin Hai was amazed, he had been an official in Beijing for many years, and never knew that Jia Jing had such an older son.

"In front of my uncle, there is no place for my nephew to sit. It is good for my nephew to stand." Jia Qing replied very respectfully, and when he raised his head, he saw that the person in front of him was only in his 30s. She was dressed in an official robe carved with patterns and inlaid with jade, and she sat down, her eyes were soft but dignified.

What a show!He deserves to be Lin Daiyu's father.

Lin Hai nodded, thinking that the old servant beside him taught him to say this, so he asked, "Why are you here?"

"Because my nephew was young and sick, my father ordered his loyal servants to bring my nephew to the south of the Yangtze River to seek medical advice and medicine. By the way, I can see the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, which may be beneficial to my body and mind.

Now the body has really improved a lot, and he is preparing to go north and return to Beijing.I was fortunate enough to meet my uncle here, so I came to visit and express my admiration. "

What he said made Lin Hai look sideways, even with others pointing him out, it was rare at this age to speak clearly and without any sense of coquettishness.He cared a little more for the younger generation in his heart, because he asked, "Have you ever been literate?"

"Returning to my uncle, because my father took pity on me and never studied." Jia Qing said.

Lin Hai rubbed his forehead, nodded and said: "I was not in good health before, so I don't need to worry about it, but now that I'm better, I can't blindly indulge in fun and waste my time when I go back.

Go back and tell your master that if you make the son look like a phoenix, you can make him enter school as soon as possible, or you can succeed.Wang Guifu respects the master, don't think I'm troublesome. "The latter sentence was addressed to Lai Sheng, who was behind Jia Qing, who was out of his mind.

When he came back to his senses, Lai Sheng hurriedly bowed and replied: "No, my master can only be grateful for the love and love that Uncle Lin has for my young master, so there is no reason to blame him. I will definitely bring my uncle's words to my master when I return home."

Nodding in satisfaction, Lin Hai chatted with Jia Qing for a few more words, and finally said: "When you arrive at the border of Jiangnan, remember to be a guest at your house. Although I am not talented, I may be able to teach you a thing or two in terms of studies. I will wait for you. I still have to meet guests, so I won't keep my nephew today, I hope my nephew will cherish me."

Jia Qing respectfully replied: "Yes! My nephew will leave." He led Lai Sheng who was behind him out of the tea booth and out of the cabin.

Lai Sheng was still in shock until Jia Qing boarded his family's lucky boat. Lin Hai could still accept it because he thought it was someone else's guidance, but Lai Sheng knew that Jia Qing made the decision from beginning to end.At first, he was afraid that the young master said something he shouldn't have said, which would cause twists and turns during the trip. Now it seems that although it was only a short time and he didn't say a few words, he didn't make any mistakes at all. It's really inconceivable!

"Boss Lai, you can prepare to sail."

"Yes"

Lai Sheng has already made up his mind that in the future, all errands involving this master must be handled carefully, and he must not be treated as an ordinary child.

After Jia Qing boarded the boat, he was also very excited. He got Lin Hai's favor, and he was sister Lin's father!Originally, he also thought about hiding his clumsiness and behaving normally, but who is Lin Hai, and if he doesn't behave differently from ordinary people, how can he attract his attention?How to get close to sister Lin without attracting his attention... Ahem, it's too early to say this.

In short, after weighing it, I still feel that I can't perform mediocrely. Now it seems that the effect is not bad.

Humming a ditty that he didn't understand, he was led bouncing up to the second floor.

Hey, I'm going to the capital...

Chapter 5 When you first enter Beijing, you need to think about everything

The lucky boat was driving on the vast ancient canal, but it approached the capital in just twenty days.

The journey along the way was not considered a fast trip, but it allowed Jia Qing, a modern person who is used to seeing black water and foggy days, to see what green water and green mountains are.He was so excited that he calmed down until he was told that he was going to the capital soon.

On the way, he also thought it over clearly. No matter what the reason was for Jia Qing to fall to the south of the Yangtze River, there are only a few situations: [-]. His father doesn't like him (or his mother); [-]. I am suffering from a serious disease or have made a big mistake; three, fighting in the house.

The second situation can basically be ruled out. He knows that his body is still very healthy, he can run and jump, and he is only a little older, so he will not make a big mistake and be kicked out of the house.As for whether Dad likes him or not, he will know when he returns to Beijing.If it is the third situation, it is the least optimistic. It proves that it may be dangerous to go back, and you need to be extremely careful.

So he made up his mind: go back and be a good baby first, don't explode!

Wait until you find out the way and then slowly map it.

When the boat docked, the servants who had gone back in the small fast boat had already prepared the sedan chair.Jia Qing and Cui Liu went back to Ningguo Mansion together in a sedan chair.Originally Cui Liu could not ride in the same sedan chair with Jia Qing, but Jia Qing is too young and needs someone to take care of her, so it makes sense.

When the sedan chair entered Ningrong Street and entered Ningguo Mansion through the corner gate, someone had already been waiting there to report: the master is waiting in the study, and asked Mr. Lai to take Miss Cui Liu and others directly there.

The sedan chair moves slowly in the front yard. The ancient mansions are generally divided into two parts, the front yard and the back house. The only way to separate them is the second gate, also called the vertical flower gate.For a super mansion like Ningguo Mansion, the front yard is divided into three or four courtyards, and the back house is divided into more large and small courtyards.Before reaching the second gate, Jia Qing and Cui Liu got off the sedan chair, and Lai Sheng led them into the study.

Jia Jing's study room is very spacious. The neat shelves on the wall facing the left side of the door are full of books. In addition, there is a bookshelf on the right side, forming a ninety-degree angle with it.There is a small door behind the bookshelf, and it is estimated that it can lead to the second door.

At this time, a man about 50 years old was sitting in the hall, with a small beard and white hair on his temples, staring straight at Jia Qing, and the scrutiny in his eyes was gradually replaced by care.

"Slave Lai Sheng has seen the master, and he has already brought him."

"Servant Cui Liu has seen the master."

"The child has seen his father."

With a hum, Jia Jing ordered Lai Sheng to take Jia Qing down to meet Jia Zhen, Youshi and the others, leaving only Cui Liu in the study, and he needed to find out more about the situation.

When there were only the two of them left in the room, the atmosphere was somewhat dull, and then Jia Jing said, "Sit down and talk."

After thanking her, Cui Liu took the last seat.

"I want to know what happened back then, how did Qingqing die?"

......

Lai Sheng led Jia Qing out of the study room, walked along the eaves of the study room, and arrived at the Chuihua Gate. Then Lai Sheng's family led him into the back house. As a servant of a male family, Lai Sheng was not allowed to enter the inner house easily.

Lai Sheng's family brought Jia Qing to Jia Zhen's residence. At this time, Jia Zhen, You Shi and Jia Rong were all in the main hall.Jia Rong is only twelve or thirteen years old now, so Qin Keqing, who has an enchanting figure, with the plumpness of Baochai and the softness of Daiyu, is naturally not here.

And there was originally a younger sister, the daughter left behind by the ex-wife's dystocia, who is also a famous figure in the Red Mansion, one of the four springs, Xiao Xichun.It's a pity that she lost her mother when she was young. Mother Jia took pity on her and took her to her to raise her.

Jia Zhen is a man in his early thirties, and at this time he is also curiously looking at this younger brother who appeared out of nowhere.It was only yesterday that he heard from his father that his younger brother, who had been away for a long time, would come back tonight, and asked him to make arrangements for his husband and wife.

You Shi is Jia Zhen who just took over the house two years ago, and he is only 20 years old this year.His first wife died, and Jia Rong was still young. Because he liked the small family of You family, he didn't dare to be arrogant after entering the door. He must take care of Jia Rong with all his heart and discipline himself.

This Youshi was born with a good appearance: white as snow, slightly plump body, gentle face, very amiable.She enthusiastically stepped forward and pulled Jia Qing to her seat.After Jia Qing met Li under the guidance of Lai Sheng's family, Jia Zhen asked, "Where does my brother come from?"

"Big brother, I'm from Yangzhou."

Youshi asked softly, "How old are you this year?"

Jia Qing replied: "Three years old", and said with a sweet smile on his face.It's shameful to be cute, but who is to say that the girl in front of me is a big beauty, or his sister-in-law...

Youshi was hit by his cute selling skills, and the smile on his face became more and more charming.At this time, Jia Zhen said again: "What can my father tell you?"

The smiling face immediately put away, and said seriously: "Never", not a word more.Jia Zhen also felt that this younger brother was not as enthusiastic about him as he was about You Shi, and she didn't bother to care about a little boy at the moment.He just lost the intention of asking, and said: "Since that's the case, I'll give you a courtyard near the Tianxiang Building on the west side of the mansion. There are all women and maids in the courtyard. If you have any inappropriate things in the future, you can come to me. Well, do you think it is good?" Although he felt that he would not understand the three-year-old, he still finished his words to save face.

"Everything is under the arrangement of big brother."

After thinking for a while, Jia Zhen said: "I don't think you have a capable maid to serve you, so how about it, I'll transfer the one I need in my room to you."

"No big brother, my mother's maid has been taking care of me, and I'm not used to other people coming, so I don't dare to bother big brother." Are you kidding me, who in your room dares to ask for it, who knows if it's your misfortune A master with a background...... If the person next to him is the same, it's a pity that he dare not say it.

Seeing that this kid doesn't know how to play, and he doesn't bother to bother with it, he can't bear to part with the darlings in his house.

After the meeting, when it was almost done, he asked Lai Sheng's family to take Jia Qing to his own yard.

The courtyard was quiet, and the orders of Lai Sheng's family called the servants who belonged to this courtyard, and concentrated on giving some orders.It's nothing more than: This is your new master, don't be negligent, what if something happens...

Finally, Lai Sheng's family left, and the maids and mothers-in-law also dispersed. Jia Qing felt that the world was finally quiet.
