In Rongqing hall, Jia Lian was talking like a lotus flower in front of the old lady.

First, he said that the worship of the ancestral hall, the repair of the tomb and the erection of the stele were all pointed out by the ancestor Tuomeng himself; then he lied, saying that the mountain on the right side of the ancestral grave also collapsed, and he wanted to repair it together and plant some trees; If feng shui is damaged, the family will also be damaged...

"Brother He Zhen doesn't want to go this year, but wants to wait for a few more years, but grandson is afraid of having long nights and dreams, which will affect Feng Shui, which can't be underestimated." Jia Lian said sincerely.

After listening to the old lady, she couldn't help nodding: "Brother Zhen is also an ignorant person. Although he is the head of the clan, he does not act prudently. Don't worry, I will let him go and finish these things together." Immediately called out , "Yuanyang, tell someone to call Brother Zhen."

The mandarin duck responded diligently and went out quickly.

Only then did Jia Lian feel relieved: "Since the old ancestor is in charge, it is inconvenient for the grandson to stay here to embarrass the elder brother."

Coincidentally, Wu Jinxiao had just sent the news that the rent would be delivered within half a month.

Jia Zhen was in a good mood, although she was reprimanded by the old lady when she entered the Rongqing hall, and she had some negative words for Jia Lian, but the money and food for renting a son were about to come in hand, so everything was easy to talk about.

He immediately went back to the old lady: "Actually, I was also thinking of finding an auspicious day in the twelfth lunar month to settle this matter, but Lian'er might be wrong about me."

"Since it's a misunderstanding, it's good to talk about it. The matter of honoring the ancestors must not be sloppy or perfunctory."

"The old man said so."

There have been two snowfalls this winter, but they were not too big, and they melted as soon as they hit the ground. The plum blossoms in Quicui'an haven't even sprouted big and small flower buds.

Entrusted by Lian's second master, Ping'er went to changcui nunnery.The door of the nunnery was closed tightly, and Ping'er patted on the door.

Soon, a servant girl asked through the door, "Who is knocking on the door?"

Ping'er said, "I'm Ping'er. I have something to do with Miaoyu."

The servant girl opened the door and invited Ping'er in.

Miaoyu happened to be under the eaves. When she saw Ping'er, she asked, "You are here to choose the red plums. You have seen that this year's red plums will not bloom."

Ping'er quickly said: "I'm not here to beg for red plums, it's just because our second master went to Xuantou Mountain in Gusu last time, and met an old servant who rented a house in the temple by chance in Panxiang Temple. An old servant said that he had been waiting for his little master, and he didn’t want the flood to wash up the Dragon King Temple. When the second master came back and listened to us, he knew that the little master was you.”

Miaoyu was pure and clear, her cold face was very calm, unmoved at all, she said flatly: "My servants have already been dismissed, why did another old servant appear out of thin air?"

Ping'er said: "It's just that the second master didn't ask a few more questions, and he didn't even ask his name. He only knew that his surname was Liu. He said that the young master of his family is also an official lady. The master went to the capital, and the master passed away in Beijing... We thought, this is consistent with your experience. I heard that he went all the way to the capital, and then returned to Gusu from the capital, but we didn't find out about the little master , and waited at Panxiang Temple."

After hearing this, Miaoyu's indifferent face softened, but she was still not too enthusiastic, she just said: "I don't care about ordinary things in the world."

Seeing this, Ping'er continued: "Although it is so, he is a loyal servant after all. Maybe the old master left a last word or something. Just because of the repair of the ancestral tomb, the second master is going to Jinling soon, so he asked me to come over. See if you can give him a token, or ask him something to prove his identity, so that we can have a consistent life."

Miaoyu thought for a while and said, "Wait a minute."

Then he took out a jade pendant tied with a red string from the house, and handed it to Ping'er: "This is the Hetian jade pendant with the characters "Fu". It was given by the wife of the former Suzhou prefect. , I gave one piece to me. You ask Second Master Lian to ask him, who gave this jade pendant? Who wears the other piece?"

Ping'er took the lucky pendant and said, "Okay, then I won't bother you to clean up."

Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and a few young servants returned to Jinling from the capital. The astronomy student said that the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month was a good day to erect a stele.

I stayed for a few days to select steles, repaired the tomb, and planted some trees around it.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, the stele was transported to the ancestral grave. Jia Lian couldn't help but feel a twinge in his heart when he saw the names of his descendants engraved on it.

If the descendants are prosperous, only the people who engraved their big house would be enough. Unfortunately, only Jia Zhen and Jia Rong are left in this lineage. The population is really thin, so Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, etc. are also engraved to make up the number.

Jia Lian couldn't help asking: "Why has Rong's daughter-in-law not seen anything for so long?"

Jia Zhen said with a grim expression, "You have to ask the couple." After speaking, she continued, "If the second sister's child is saved, you can carve one more."

... Jia Lian couldn't hold back his face.

The two brothers sighed at the same time, and then fell silent.

The ancestor system came out in a timely manner: "I still know regret, it seems that it is not complete."

Jia Lian replied with his mind: "Why don't you feel remorse? But such things as having children don't mean that they are born immediately. Your ancestors know that the descendants are not prosperous, so they don't help them."

The system replied: "Do you know that the second grandma's child and the second sister You's child were all obtained through our cultivation for a long time. If you can't keep it, blame us instead!"

Jia Lian muttered: "It's not your fault, it's just..."

"Ok?"

Jia Lian quickly confessed: "It's nothing, it's all the fault of the descendants."

A group of servants erected the stele in the stele pit. Jia Zhen and Jia Lian took a shovel and shoveled some soil, stepped on it firmly, then placed sacrifices, knelt down and burned incense to worship.The deacons next to him then played music, and the monks and Taoist priests chanted, and the task was considered over.

Just listen to the system prompt: [Mission [-] is completed, rewards are being issued...]

I clicked on the kit, but couldn't unlock it. The system prompted: [The time has not come, so I can't unlock the kit...]

Jia Lian couldn't help complaining: "This task is too exhausting. I have to go back and forth twice before I finish it. After I finish it, I can't solve the trick bag."After carefully reading the notes above, you can only solve it when you encounter a big problem.

What is timing?What is the big problem?who knows?

After the matter was settled, Jia Zhen went back to the capital first, and Jia Lian continued to go to Gusu because she had to go to find Old Man Liu again.

When I arrived at Panxiang Temple in Xuanmu Mountain, it happened to be the Laba Festival. Usually on this day, the temple would cook Laba porridge and give it to those who came to receive the porridge.

At this time, the plum blossoms on the mountain have already bloomed, attracting countless tourists to watch. Everyone will go to the temple to drink a bowl of Laba porridge for good luck.

From a distance, Jia Lian saw a large stretch of pale pink and bright red plum blossoms on the mountain. When he got closer, he saw that the plum blossoms were full of fragrance, full of fragrance, and filled the mountain. He thought to himself that if there was a heavy snowfall, This view is perfect.

Xing'er was very excited along the way, and said, "Second Master, the plum blossoms here are really beautiful, no wonder the late emperor also came to admire the plum blossoms."

Jia Lian didn't speak, but looked up at the proud red flowers dotted on the branches, feeling inexplicably calm.

Yes, he should have realized earlier that Miaoyu is from Suzhou, and the red plums planted in the Cui'an are the best in the garden, and the little master that old man Liu said is her...

Going to the house to find old man Liu, a middle-aged neighbor said: "He is working as a helper in the temple now!"

Jia Lian entered the back kitchen yard of Panxiang Temple, where people came and went, bustling and busy. Old man Liu was sitting in the yard peeling peanuts with a round dustpan made of thin bamboo slices.

The Laba porridge made early in the morning has been distributed, but there will still be people begging for porridge at noon, so we have to continue cooking.

When old man Liu saw Jia Lian, he was very pleasantly surprised: "Why is the second master here? Come on, let's have some peanuts and Laba porridge first? I'll get you a bowl..."

"Need not."

"Liu Baoshan, Hurry up, Peanut." A man who looked like a volunteer chef urged.

"Okay, there's only this pinch left."

Jia Lian gave Xing'er a look, and Xing'er understood immediately, moved a bench over for Jia Lian to sit down, and squatted down to help Liu Baoshan peel a piece of peanuts.

"Why is Second Master here?"

"Peel these peanuts first."

In Liu Baoshan's room, Jia Lian took out the jade pendant with the word "Fu".

When Liu Baoshan saw the jade pendant, he couldn't control the expression on his face, as if tears were about to flow out, he asked in a trembling voice: "Why does the second master have this jade pendant?"

Looking at his expression, Jia Lian already understood a little bit, but he still asked, "What kind of jade pendant is this? Who gave it to you?"

"It was given to our eldest lady and second lady by the wife of the prefect of Suzhou. The second lady is the young master I am looking for. The two sisters are three years apart."

"Well, it's pitiful to say that our master has only two daughters, and they hurt like babies. It's a pity that the eldest lady has grown to seven or eight years old, and died of an illness. The second lady was born weak and sick, and took soup and medicine. I bought a substitute, but it didn't work at all, and I had to give it to a master, and my health really improved. Our master and wife also think that as long as the daughter is healthy, it doesn't matter whether she is a sister-in-law..."

When Liu Baoshan talked about the emotional part, muddy old tears flowed down, which made Jia Lian feel a little uncomfortable.Liu Baoshan wiped away his tears and asked again: "Second Master, where did you get it?"

Jia Lian didn't answer, but instead asked, "What is your eldest lady's law name?"

"Miaoyu."

Jia Lian was not surprised at all, and said very calmly, "Master Miaoyu gave it to me."

Liu Baoshan asked suspiciously: "How did the second master find my little master?"

Xing'er said quickly: "You must never have imagined that Master Miaoyu lives in the garden in our mansion."

Liu Baoshan was even more puzzled: "In your house?"

"It's Rongguo Duke Jia's Mansion." Xing'er continued to answer.

Liu Baoshan looked at Jia Lian in disbelief, Jia Lian closed his eyes, and nodded affirmatively.

Liu Baoshan knelt down in front of Jia Lian, wept uncontrollably, and said, "Our little master is really blessed to be able to enter the Duke's mansion... What kind of blessing did I cultivate in my previous life to meet such a kind person like the second master?" ..."

Because of the guarded heart before, everyone didn't dare to reveal the whole truth. They didn't want to think about worldly affairs. It's just such a coincidence...

Liu Baoshan cried for a long time and said a lot of words of gratitude.

Jia Lian said: "It's Laba now, and the New Year is coming soon, and I have to go back to the mansion quickly. Are you going back to Beijing with me or what are your plans?"

Liu Baoshan said: "If I can see the little master, I am willing to die. When will the second master leave?"

"tomorrow."
