[Red Mansions] Minruo Spring Breeze Returns to Dream

No.30 Eight times to steal a floating life for half a day

Jia Min didn't know the specific details. After the Liu family was taken to prison, she was shocked that Tang and her three sons and one daughter were not detained together, but were imprisoned alone in a small courtyard.It was only later that Lin Ruhai told her that the emperor had specially pardoned Tang and her children.After Liu Youming was escorted to the capital by Fan Yao's men, Tang Shi also left Yangzhou with her four children, and her whereabouts were unknown.

"Maybe she really avoided going to the countryside." Jia Min put a needle on the embroidery frame, "She is also a bitter person, and I don't know what will happen in the future?"

"Since the emperor pardoned her crimes, it won't be difficult in the future." Lin Ruhai also breathed a sigh of relief after sending Fan Yao and the others away. It doesn't feel good to have someone watching all the time.He took a rest today, and did not invite Yang Jialin and the others to go out. He only stayed in the mansion with Jia Min and Lin Daiyu—Lin Jinshu lived in the academy, and would only return to the mansion when he was resting. "I heard that they went to Ping'an Prefecture incognito, probably because of their merits and demerits."

"That's fine, as long as it's safe and sound." Jia Min changed the subject, "The Liu family has collapsed, so who will take its place?" The salt merchant is a fat job, and other salt merchants in Yangzhou city may Keep an eye on it.

"It's not up to us to say, but I heard that the Cheng family took over a lot of stalls bought by the Liu family, and it seems that they have ulterior motives." Lin Ruhai flipped through the poems and books in his hand, "Hui Yao and Hui Ye's marriage is coming soon, you Are you ready for congratulations?"

"It's been prepared a long time ago." Jia Min looked at the pattern of peony flowers and embroidered seriously, "Hui Ye's is more important, after all, he is about to get married. I asked the people who pressed things to go south before and Lin Shuang to give him something first. Went there; Huiyao is not in a hurry, I ordered the shop's master to carve a pair of white jade dolls, it's a good idea to make a pair."

"You have a lot of ideas, let's figure it out." Lin Ruhai said with a smile, "I remember that Hui Yao likes calligraphy and painting the most. Don't we have a landscape painting by the great calligrapher and painter Lu Xiaolou in our warehouse? You can wrap it up and give it to him. .”

"That painting is your treasure, are you willing?" Jia Min said "Oh", "You waited for a long time to find this painting."

"It's okay, just give it to him." Jia Min said "at that time" was the time when they got married, probably now that they are getting older and their obsession is not as good as before, "Hui Yao is a person who should know more about painting than me. Child." The main reason is that Lu Xiaolou is a master of calligraphy and painting who became a master of calligraphy and painting after he resigned from office.In his opinion, Huiyao is a person with the same temperament as Lu Xiaolou. When he first joined the Ministry of Rites, he thought that he could change the unhealthy atmosphere in the Ministry of Rites with one move.I hope he gets the painting and understands what he means.

"Well, I'll ask someone to take it out tomorrow." Jia Min said with a smile.

After Lin Shuang came back, she described the scene of Lin Huiye's wedding to Lin Ruhai and Jia Min.The scene was not grand, and only a few friends from the same department and several adults from the Imperial Academy were invited. After greeting the newly appointed Mrs. Lin the next day, Lin Shuang brought people back.

"I heard that Uncle Zhu of Rongguo Mansion is ill again. This time he is really sick in bed. The imperial doctor called him several times a day, but he hasn't recovered." Lin Shuang replied, "I heard that Mrs. Jia was very anxious. Very soon, I almost thought of posting a list to find a folk miracle doctor. I didn’t do it later for some reason.”

Probably her mother stopped it.Jia Min took a sip from the teacup and said: "Zhu'er's health has never been very good, so I can only take care of it slowly. I'll ask someone to pick up some herbs. Didn't the previous batches say they were very effective? The main thing is warming and tonic. It wouldn't be said that the big medicine will hurt the body instead." The last sentence was said to Lin Ruhai.

"Alright." Lin Ruhai nodded.

"The young one also heard that Mrs. Jia intends to marry Mrs. Li Shouzhong's daughter to the mansion as soon as possible. Now everyone in the capital is saying that she is going to use the marriage to make her happy..." Lin Shuang glanced at Jia Min's expression Seeing that she didn't show any displeasure, she continued, "It's just that the little one didn't see any intention of hiring someone to build a new house before leaving."

"It's just spreading rumors. Master Li is also the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, how can he allow his daughter to marry off in such a hurry." Lin Ruhai frowned slightly, the capital city is full of gossip, "You go down first."

"Yes."

Lin Ruhai turned around and saw Jia Min holding the teacup in a daze, so he smiled and said, "Why don't you talk?"

Jia Min came back to her senses and said with a smile: "I just feel like I'm going to get married in a blink of an eye, and I have to feel that time flies so fast." His marriage has never been "happy". If Li Shouzhong really wavered, Zhu's daughter-in-law would be looked down upon even more in the future.

"Thinking of my future daughter-in-law?" Lin Ruhai laughed.

"You're getting more and more out of shape." Jia Min glanced at him, "Didn't you say you're going to take Daiyu and me out for a walk today? It's rare that Brother Shu is coming back from a rest today, let's go out and walk around as a family of four Mrs. Yang is about to give birth, and I want to go to the shop to get her something."

"Okay, it's also suitable to go out now. There is a restaurant in the city that serves Xinjiang-style dishes. I went there to taste it with Mr. Chen the other day. It tastes pretty good. I'll take the three of you there to try it today. If it tastes good, how about you?" If you like, we can have a meal every now and then." Lin Ruhai asked Cui Liu to bring the two children over, and he and Jia Min each changed into a set of ordinary clothes, and there was no carriage, and the four of them brought six long-term followers. Each of the two maids and servants went out.

The people in Yangzhou are doing what they should do now, and they are not in the slightest panic because of the raid of the Liu family.In fact, Jia Min felt that as long as the government didn't force the people to rebel, as long as everyone had enough to eat, who would be willing to do something like seek to usurp the throne.The Tang family and her children went to Ping'an Prefecture incognito. I heard that the emperor replaced them with several death row prisoners, just as if they died of illness in prison;

Jia Min held Daiyu's hand, and Lin Jinshu followed Lin Ruhai, chatting with Lin Ruhai from time to time.

"Mother, I want to eat that!" Lin Daiyu pointed at the candied haws on one side, tugged at Jia Min's hand and said coquettishly, "The red one."

Cuitao tactfully stepped forward and bought two, one for Lin Daiyu and the other for Lin Jinshu.Neither of the two children had eaten these street snacks.The food is not exquisite, but it has a special flavor. The slightly sour hawthorn is wrapped in sweet syrup, so even a little adult like Lin Jinshu can eat it with a smile on his face.

Passing by a small stall selling makeup jewelry, Lin Ruhai stopped, picked up a cluster of tourmaline and silver bead butterfly flowers from the stall, asked someone to pay the silver, and put it on for Jia Min herself.The butterfly flowers are made small, and the wings of the butterfly are as light as real ones, shaking slightly on the bun, which shows the craftsmanship of the craftsmen.

"This butterfly flower is well done, which craftsman is it?" Lin Ruhai asked with a smile.

The man who set up the stall was a man in his thirties. He said: "This is the last batch of head flowers made by my father. He used to be a craftsman in the silver building in the east of the city. Unfortunately, he changed his master later, and the new master detested his jewelry. Hua was not generous enough, so he was kicked out. These things were brought home at that time, because my mother was ill, so my father asked me to come out and set up a stall to sell all the things."

Isn't the silver building in the east of the city one of the silver buildings purchased by Prince Shunyi, it's a pity for such a good craftsman.Jia Min thought about it, called Cuitao to give some instructions, and picked out some jewelry before leaving with Lin Ruhai.Cuitao and Lin Shuang talked to the stall owner a few words, and seeing the surprised and unbelievable expression on the stall owner's face, they told Lin Shuang about Jia Min's instructions, and Lin Shuang followed the stall owner home.

"Why, you want to invite the stall owner's father to the shop?" Lin Ruhai guessed right.

"Yeah, with such a good craftsmanship, of course he can't be buried." Jia Min opened the pocket watch hanging on the lapel to check the time, and when he arrived at the restaurant, he said, "Let's go eat first, the children should all hungry."

After eating sweet and sour candied haws just now, it was time for the two children to have an appetizer and want to eat.Lin Ruhai took his family to the newly opened Fragrance Restaurant in Yangzhou, where he ordered the most famous large plate chicken, two vegetarian dishes and a soup. He didn't order rice to be stewed, but he ordered dumplings and pasta. .The fragrant mutton ramen is sprinkled with green onion and coriander, and the beef dumplings are also very flavorful. No wonder Lin Ruhai highly recommends this restaurant.

"The taste is really good, and the boss here is really dedicated. I saw that many of the decorations in the building are from Xijiang." Jia Min said after feeding Daiyu a piece of noodles.They don't pay much attention to "eating without talking" now. Sometimes a family of four eats together, and the two children are talking and laughing at the same time, which is very warm.

"The boss here heard that he grew up in Xijiang since he was a child, so all the spices here are transported from Xijiang." Xijiang is a vast land and sparsely populated. Lin Ruhai also took the opportunity to study Lin Jinshu a few words, seeing He also knew a thing or two about geography, so he continued with satisfaction, "If you like, we can invite the cook here to cook for you once in a while. The cook here can take orders in private."

"Alright." Seeing the two children eating happily, Jia Min picked up a piece of chicken for Lin Ruhai, "You can eat too."
