Mrs. Pin, one of the Red House

But on Dao Daiyu's side, spring goes south, and it happens to be with the wind, not the peak period of autumn, and the canal is not very crowded, and the blue-like water is also comfortable to look at.

Mo Yue was at the time when the autumn tigers were in trouble in Jinling, and they arrived at the border of Jinling.

The Jia family's ancestral home is Jinling, and they just happened to come here. Jia Min couldn't save face and naturally wanted to go back and have a look. Lin Hai thought, why not stay here for a few days, firstly to watch the fire from the other side, and secondly, to wait for the limelight to pass, so Dai The three of Yulin Hai and Jia Min got off the boat together with the servant girl, and they happened to lead Lin Zheng and Lin Liangyu's brothers and sisters off the boat to get some air.

But the two children are doing well. Although Lin Zheng is also weak, he is not as prone to troubles as Daiyu was when she was a child. At least the wind on the canal has been relatively light recently, so she has not been seasick.

"Call mother." Jia Min got into the carriage, just teasing the two children, Liangyu was trying to get angry, and was annoyed by Jia Min, so he babbled and called mother, which made Jia Min smile.

Lin Hai has a lot of business recently, and he thinks the child is crying and annoying, so basically he doesn't go with the two children, and today he made a frame alone.

"Azheng, call me mother." Jia Min patted Liangyu, and then went to tease Linzheng to speak, but Linzheng just opened his eyes to look at his mother, closed it again, tied it in the swaddle, and fell asleep again.

"Don't sleep, what are you going to sleep at night?" Jia Min hurriedly patted Lin Zheng up, and then said to Daiyu: "You don't care about your brother."

Daiyu looked at Lin Zheng and said, "He is a child, and I am full of truths, so I can't explain it."

Jia Min smiled and shook her head, too, how could she reason with a child, and said, "Speaking, why is your younger brother still unable to speak when he is so old?"

Daiyu remained silent.

How did she know when the little one was supposed to be talking?

Jia Min was worried.

Daiyu was able to babble and call out mother's voice when she was eight months old. Although Liangyu was not as good as Daiyu, and she spoke at night for more than a month, but when she was one year old, she could speak mother and father clearly. It's called Cheng Jiejie, and every time it makes a few people burst into laughter.

But Jia Min was worried about Lin Zheng, no matter how much she teased her, she would not speak.

"Your Majesty is late, Madam, don't worry." Seeing Jia Min frowning and stubbornly teasing Lin Zheng to call her mother, Lin Zheng's wet nurse, Nanny Bai, boldly spoke.

"Ordinary children can only talk nonsense after they reach the age of one."

To be honest, Nanny Bai didn't think much of Jia Min. Jia Min's two daughters are both smart and quick to speak, but it doesn't mean that her son must also be smart. Many times, they are just ordinary people. That's all.

Of course, she would never dare to say this.

"That's good." Jia Min pressed Lin Zheng's face, and heaved a sigh of relief when he found that he didn't have a fever, "I'm just afraid that he will be stupid if he has a fever."

"The child is skinny." Bai Momo hurriedly comforted Jia Min.

The group arrived at the ancestral house of the Jia family in Jinling, talking and laughing like this. Now that most of the children of the Jia family have moved to Kyoto, there are only a few housekeepers left in the huge courtyard. Looking carefully, there are two statues at the door. The white jade lions, even the plaques and carved beams were covered with dust.

Knowing that Jia Min and Lin Hai were coming, the butler had packed up early, and now the parents of Yuanyang are leading them and waiting at the gate of the mansion.

"This plaque is really interesting." Lin Hai smiled when he saw the golden plaque on the ancestral house of the Jia Mansion.

Lin Hai was born in a scholarly family, and I have never seen anyone who inlaid gold on the door.

Jia Min sighed, and said: "This was repaired when the old man was here. I heard that someone had done the calculations. You have to send gold and jade to suppress this Feng Shui. But it's the first time I've come here. I didn't expect it to be true." Just use it."

When the maid, mother, and servant saw a few people approaching, she quickly turned around, and Yuanyang's mother greeted her with a smile, and said with a blessing, "Fourth Miss is well."

Jia Min personally enticed Yuanyang's mother, Tao Shi, "How are you these days?"

Nanny Tao and Jia Min had been masters and servants for a while, and she brought Jia Min up with her own hands, but since Jia Min got married, she was sent to Jinling with her husband Jin Cai to look at the house, and she hadn't seen many of them. At this time, he said with some sobs: "Everything is fine, the girl, and the old slave is fine."

Jia Min ordered someone to bring the two children over again. Mother Tao looked at them and said, "Brother and sister are so beautiful."

Jia Min laughed and joked, "Like me."

Tao Nanny smiled and said, "The girl was so young back then. I really didn't expect it to be more than 30 years now."

"Yeah, I'm old." Jia Min laughed.

Lin Hai knew that the customs in the north were different from those in the south, and that the status of wet nurses was much higher than that in the south, so he also sealed dozens of silver cars for Nanny Tao, as a meeting gift.

Nanny Tao didn't dare to ask for it at first, holding the heavy silver and looked at Jia Min in a dilemma, "Girl, this is absolutely impossible."

Jia Min smiled and said, "Nurse, you should be so cautious, just put it away."

Only then did Nanny Tao accept the silver, and stepped forward to support Jia Min, while Jin Cai went to direct the servants to pack the luggage of Jia Min and his party.

Jia Min and Tao Nanny were a few steps ahead of the crowd, "Speaking of which, your husband and wife are really better than the deaf and dumb ones at home. Seeing that I came from Beijing, I didn't even ask about your daughter's recent situation."

Tao Nanny smiled and her eyes became slits, "Look at what you said, girl, the mandarin ducks are appreciated by the old lady and you take care of them, so why should I worry?"

Jia Min smiled and shook her head, "You are really right, now Yuanyang is the first person beside mother." She briefly explained Yuanyang's current situation, and said: "Yuanyang asked me to bring you something. "

"This child, why are you so stupid? It's not that her father and I don't have money, and we don't lack anything," Tao Nanny said hastily, "Please ask the girl to bring something. Next time I see her, don't tell her well. Say, why don’t you know any rules?”

Jia Min explained: "Look at you, you are in a hurry before you even finish listening."

"It's not about letting you bring money. If you are short of money," Jia Min said, "I'll go out by myself. I don't need her sporadic monthly schedule. She has done some needlework and entrusted me to give it to you." When I brought it over, I laughed at her at first, saying that she was giving these worthless things, but the child said that she missed her father's old legs and was afraid that others would do it inappropriately."

When Nanny Tao heard this, her nose soured and she almost shed tears.

"By the way, let Jincai come to my place later, I have some things I want to ask him." Jia Min saw that the polite words were almost done, and then got to the point.

Mother Tao naturally hurried to do it.

Lin Hai saw that Jia Min went to talk to Nanny Tao about himself, and the two children had their own arrangements, so he and Daiyu went to the back garden.

There are many hills around Jinling. In autumn, the cold wind outside can’t get in, and the residual summer heat can’t get out inside. It’s stuffy inside, and it still feels like a dog day.

The sky is as blue as the Northland, but from a distance, it is not as rich as the Northland.

The garden of Jia’s ancestral house was built later, and it didn’t pay attention to the layout. It just formed a piece around the artificial lake, dotted with sporadic Yuzhu. The surrounding houses tried their best to be spacious and bright. The beams are extremely high, and the gold paintings depict figures, flowers and birds, which are incompatible with the elegant layout of the surrounding white walls, blue tiles and flowing water.

Walking into the hanging flower corridor, Daiyu inevitably frowned.

Lin Hai couldn't help but laughed, "The Jia family is quite interesting."

"I don't know, I thought we were back in the capital again." Daiyu looked up at the painting on the beam, and said, "It's the same as the one in the yard of my grandparents' house."

Lin Hai smiled and said: "You don't know, this should be the work of one person hired."

Daiyu deliberately said, "I heard that Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion were repaired. At that time, Duke Ningguo invited people to repair the ancestral house in detail. .”

Lin Haidao: "Your mother should also take care of your mouth."

"Mother is still worried about my brother not talking." Daiyu stared at Lin Hai and said.

Lin Hai felt a little unnatural at this time, and turned his head away, "I didn't expect there to be koi in the lake. It's rare to raise such a big carp in the south."

Daiyu was curious, suppressed the doubts in her heart and leaned over to have a look.

##

Jin Cai settled down Jia Min and the others' luggage, and was about to go outside, but was stopped by Nanny Tao.

"Miss wants to see you." Nanny Tao came over panting. She had little feet and couldn't walk fast. Seeing that Jin Cai was about to go out, she could only yell loudly.

"Why did you see me?" Jin Cai wondered, stopped and walked back.

"What's the problem? The girl is still waiting in the main hall."

Jin Cai hurried to the main hall.

The main hall of Jia's ancestral house is different from other places. It is located in the east of the house. Of course, when Jia Yuan and Jia Yan didn't start a family, this courtyard was the center of the whole house in that small courtyard.

There is a large courtyard inside the Yimen Gate, with three main rooms on the top, deer roofs on both sides of the side rooms, and ear gates drilling into the mountains, with nine windings leading to seclusion, beautiful and quiet, different from other places.

The beams of the main hall are much lower than those in other places, and the layout of the house is also small. The east and west wing rooms are separated by ivory wood, white jade inlaid emeralds, and rosewood wood double-sided carved screens.

As soon as you enter the door, there are two large floor-to-ceiling glass vases at the door of the main room, both of which are from the park. Inside are large silk flowers with broken branches, dotted with fashionable bouquets.When you look up, you will see a large red gold plaque with nine dragons and green ground, on which is a handwritten Shi'an Hall.

Hanging on the side of the main room is a picture of Baifu, which was embroidered stitch by thread by a famous embroiderer that day. In front of the hall is a freehand landscape painting of mountains and rivers, which is a famous work.

On the left is the morning breeze and the evening moon, and I sigh that the world is not waiting for me.

On the right is the flower in the willow garden, and Hugh said that the water flowing in front of the door is crowing with yellow roosters.

The line of small characters below is handwritten by Shijiao's younger brother Xun Xi, Wang Shuichen of Beijing County.

One is wearing a peony bun, wearing a white jade hairpin with seven phoenixes in the morning sun and pearls in the ice, white jade and five blessings inlaid with sapphire plum blossoms, because of filial piety, the top is silver and white engraved with flowing clouds brocade, dark embroidered rose peonies, and the bottom is a pure white woven gold skirt, There is no decoration, with a one-foot-wide black border, a white jade pendant around the waist, a wreath ring around the neck, no makeup, gentle eyebrows, almond eyes and slender shoulders, walking like a delicate flower shining in the water, but there is something fierce in it.

Jin Cai shivered, stepped forward and said, "I've seen Grandma Fourth."

Jia Min turned around and raised her chin, "If I remember correctly, this is a painting drawn by the old man himself."

Jin Cai was cautious, and smiled apologetically, "What Grandma Si Gu said is absolutely true."

"What you don't know is that grandfather didn't finish this painting that day." Jia Min stretched out his hand and floated across the painting, "The trees and willows were painted by my father himself."

Jin Cai didn't know what Jia Min meant by saying this, so she could only laugh dryly.

"When my father was there, you were in the accounting room. In all fairness, our Jia family has never treated you badly. When you were old, your mother said that you did your best for the Jia family and that you couldn't do anything. You come to Nanjing to take care of yourselves." Jia Min changed the subject and raised his voice suddenly, "But you repaid your complaint with virtue, didn't you?"

Jin Cai was taken aback and her heart sank, but her expression remained unchanged, "Fourth Aunt, Grandma, I can't understand what you said."

"You don't understand?" Jia Min sneered, "Shall I calculate everything for you?"

"This old slave doesn't know..."

Before Jin Cai finished speaking, Jia Min said in a cold voice, "Kneel down."

Jin Cai had no choice but to kneel under the hall.

"You shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't get involved." Jia Min sighed, "In a land of riches and honor, you see the prosperity, but you don't see the bones."

As soon as Jin Cai heard this sentence, he knew that something had leaked, and he kowtowed silently, "Fourth Aunt, Grandma, I'm sorry."

The smile on the corner of Jia Min's mouth gradually deepened, "Why are you sorry for us? Everyone has their own fortune, isn't it? I can still blame you for taking yourself in for the sake of wealth?"

Jin Cai looked up at Jia Min puzzled.

"Now it's quite interesting. Everything is made by Grandma Dongfu Rong, but you look at me as a fool? How can ordinary people have such medicine as Wan Yantongbei?" Jia Min raised his head slightly, with an unpredictable expression. She said calmly, "Nurse Tao is my wet nurse after all, I will give you one last chance."

She got up and walked in front of Jin Cai, "I heard that someone wanted to harm our mother and son, mother and daughter, do you know who it is?"

Jin Cai was silent for a long time, and kowtowed heavily, "This old slave is ashamed of the master, ashamed of the old man, ashamed of his wife, ashamed of the fourth girl." After finishing speaking, he got up and slammed into the pillar.
