A girl like Daiyu who is so proud and arrogant is actually unbearable.

Jia Qiang helped her so much, not only escorted her to the south, but also made great efforts to save her father, she was already grateful, and she had many good words in front of Lin Ruhai, that's why Lin Ruhai let Jia Qiang live in his school About the study.

In Daiyu's view, since this is a way of repaying kindness, isn't it the meaning of being close to relatives?

Unexpectedly, it was her wishful thinking. What Jia Qiang thought was to move out early!

Seeing that Daiyu was really annoyed, Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Lin, it's just that I want to stay in Jiangnan for a long time, and besides studying hard, I have many other things to do. My aunt negotiated to open a bookstore..."

"So what?"

Daiyu was still angry, she almost stared at Jia Qiang, telling him to distinguish clearly, otherwise she would not be able to obey.

Jia Qiang suppressed her smile and said, "If Aunt Lin is the only one in the Yanyuan yamen, I can't drive her away. But there is still my aunt!"

Daiyu didn't think about it, but wondered: "Don't my father recognize you as a relative?"

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "It's not about whether I recognize my relatives...I only found out after talking with Aunt Lin recently that my aunt was an upright official all his life and had a very high reputation among scholars. How can I bear such a relative? In his yamen, talk about some businessmen's gold and silver business?"

Daiyu snorted, and said, "When I was five years old, my father taught me that people who are scholars, farmers, businessmen, and the four people are the people of the country. My father is already in charge of important salt tax affairs. How could he treat business as contemptible?"

Jia Qiang patiently explained: "It's not that my aunt would despise business affairs, it's that I can't use my personal money to make money, which affects his official voice. The salt tax is a state affair, and we run a bookstore, which is a private matter after all. After moving out, I will often come back to consult Aunt Lin..."

Before she could finish speaking, Daiyu got up suddenly, gave Jia Qiang a hard look, and then said, "If you want to move out, go and talk to my father, what has nothing to do with me!"

After all, he shook and left.

During the confrontation between the two, no one else dared to speak.

After she left, before the others had time to speak, Zijuan came over with a pot full of hot rice, but found that Daiyu had disappeared. Nahan asked, "Where is our girl?"

A maidservant of the Lin family who was waiting nearby whispered, "There's a quarrel!"

Zijuan jumped in surprise, looked at Jia Qiang, and said, "It's all right, why are you arguing?"

Jia Qiang took the rice bowl from Zijuan's hands, filled another bowl for herself, and said with some distaste: "Next time I serve a big bowl, this bowl looks good, but one bowl can only hold three mouthfuls of rice, it's fooling people."

Zijuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly sent someone to fetch the Dahai Bowl, and then asked: "Why did Master Qiang quarrel with the girl?"

Jia Qiang didn't know what to say, Li Jing smiled and said: "It's okay, our master said that we will stay in Jiangnan for a long time, if Miss Lin is not in a hurry to return to Beijing, we will not be in a hurry to move out..."

Zijuan jumped again when she heard the words, she couldn't believe her ears, her eyes widened, and said: "Our girl asked you to move out? Impossible!!"

Li Jing laughed at the side: "Of course not, what our master means is that we are not in a hurry to move out to find a house before the year, and we will move later."

Only then did Zijuan understand, she let out a long breath, and said angrily: "You are really not a good young master, you just play tricks on people!" Then she turned her head to look at Jia Qiang, and said incomprehensibly, "Why would Second Master Qiang think so? Move out? You escorted our girl to the south, and even found a famous doctor to save the master. We haven't repaid such a great favor, and you don't even want to live at home. How can you make our girl feel at ease?"

After Jia Qiang ate a bowl of rice that was elegant but not slow, she said softly, "I don't have the intention of pretending to be noble and clearing the relationship. I'm not a hypocritical person, and I don't bother to do that. I will discuss it with my aunt. Please tell Aunt Lin that I am really thinking about my aunt's official reputation. Now that the situation in Beijing is turbulent, if you see a lot of money in my aunt's salt government office, Even if this matter has nothing to do with my aunt, others will definitely think about it. At that time, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen."

Grandma Wu, who had been serving at the side, couldn't help it when she heard the words, and said with a smile: "After all, he is an aristocratic son from Beijing, and his demeanor is really different. Only my brother in the world can think about earning money so easily..."

Apparently, in her eyes, Jia Qiang became a hairless brat who couldn't do his job well.

Jia Qiang didn't want to explain anything. After eating and drinking, she asked Zijuan, "Is there a place to take a walk in the house? Aunt Lin described it in a very elegant way on the boat. It is also helpful to have some activities after dinner." Yu Kehua."

Li Jing said with a smile: "God and Xiang Ling go and see, I'll go back and watch over my father."

Xiangling didn't want it either, and said in a low voice, "I still have to go back and write poems."

Jia Qiang chuckled, couldn't help stroking the frank and silly girl's hair on the forehead, and said, "Okay, let's all go back and do your work."

Zijuan also likes this kind of unpretentious intimacy, she smiled and said: "I am not the host, Xueyan is. Let's go, I just go to persuade the girl. But she may not listen to what I say."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Don't force yourself if you don't want to listen, as long as your aunt understands."

While talking and joking, everyone dispersed during the banquet.

Because Vivienne had already returned to the church in Yangzhou with her Uncle George, the atmosphere would be much more harmonious without this abrupt and unrestrained wild horse.

……

The yamen of Yanzhengyuan is very imposing and occupies a large area.

There are three roads and three entrances to the house, and the courtyards overlap each other, but they are different from the courtyards in the north.

The house in the south of the Yangtze River is completely different from the mansion in the north.

The white walls and black tiles in the south of the Yangtze River often have the meaning of gardens, and the strange rocks are always interesting in nature.

In contrast, the Northland is much more majestic. Even if it is carved with beams and painted buildings, it always has a gray and heavy feeling.

It seems that thousands of bamboos have been planted in the salt courtyard, and there is a fresh air among the lush greenery.

Jia Qiang was holding a lantern, the light was quiet, she declined Xueyan's kindness to accompany her, and walked alone in the garden of Jiangnan Water Town.

It's rare, let go of your plans and guards, and enjoy this tranquility.

Just as Daiyu said, there are pavilions, forests and marshes at the southernmost end of the West Road Courtyard, and there is a pavilion with a plaque on it, which is called "Hou Le Xuan".

Come to think of it, take the word "worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joy later".

Jia Qiang came to the pavilion and sat by the railing. The night breeze was soft and moist, and the dryness was gone.

A hint of Xuanyue hanging in Mokong is more interesting than a full moon.

The evening wind blows gently, and the sound of bamboo leaves swaying in the bamboo forest makes the night even more quiet.

This place of ancient style and charm made him very fond of it.

Sitting here quietly, Jia Qiang thought of what she saw today.

Looking at it today, Lin Ruhai is clearly more than Jia Zheng.

Contemporary scholar-bureaucrats, especially those in high positions, seldom express their emotions or anger.

When he was studying in the Red Chamber in his previous life, seeing Jia Min passed away, Daiyu begged to stay with his father, but was coldly rejected by Lin Ruhai, he felt a little cold in his heart.

Looking at his subsequent correspondence with Jia Zheng and his praise of Jia Yucun, he thought that these people were all the same.

Isn't Jia Zheng treating Baoyu so coldly?

But looking at it today, maybe Lin Ruhai had a great epiphany between life and death, he had too much popularity, he had the love of a father, and he was not afraid to show it in front of others.

Such a person may be somewhat out of place in the eyes of mainstream literati.

But in Jia Qiang's view, such talents are vivid and have more flexible wisdom!

And what kind of person Lin Ruhai is is very important to Jia Qiang's situation in the south of the Yangtze River.
