Kuai Chuan's brother is the real boss

"Greetings to mother."

"Jue'er is back, is Hanshan Temple going well?" Jia Min asked Jiang Yan, who was saluting, with a smile.

She recovered a lot from her illness, and her ruddy complexion showed a more dignified temperament. Jiang Yan stood beside her respectfully, "Naturally, it went very well. The child also asked the master for a volume of Buddhist scriptures. The master said that regular recitation can protect the health of parents and sisters. "

"Jue'er has a heart." Jia Min wiped Jiang Yan's face with a handkerchief, and was moved. Being so filial at such a young age is the happiest thing for her to be a mother.

Jiang Yan suddenly looked sad, "It's just that there are many characters on it that I still don't understand, mother, can you teach me?"

"Okay, mother will teach you." Jia Min responded with a smile. Although Mr. Enlightenment has been invited, teaching her son to recite scriptures is a parent-child time between mother and son, and she is still very happy.

After washing and changing into clean clothes, Jia Min took Jiang Yan to the small study and sat down, reciting scriptures word by word.

I don't know if these scriptures were written by the master, Jia Min felt refreshed when the two of them recited together, and an hour passed before they knew it. Only when the servant girl came to remind him did he react.

"Is Jue'er tired? You must be tired after traveling so far today. Go and rest. If you don't wake up tomorrow, you will be scolded."

Jiang Yan saluted and returned to his room to rest. While reciting scriptures with Jia Min, he injected some spiritual power into Jia Min's body. His body is so weak that he is a little tired now.

This world has a little spiritual power, which is a great convenience for Jiang Yan. After tens of thousands of years of cultivation, it can be said that he has mastered it in terms of cultivation, and even with only a little spiritual power, he can play well.

Before that, he secretly used spiritual power to form a formation in the peace talisman that Lin Ruhai asked for, which can gather the surrounding spiritual energy. This method is much better than inputting spiritual power into the body, and there will be no situation where the emptiness will not be replenished.

The body is surrounded by spiritual power, and it is not surprising that the body gets better day by day when it is nourished by the spiritual power.

Jiang Yan is fortunate that he has some spiritual power that he can use, otherwise, according to his current appearance as a five-year-old child, it would be much more difficult to do things than it is now.

Time passed quickly, and the Mid-Autumn Festival came in the blink of an eye. Jia Min and Lin Daiyu had been raising them for several months, and they were in good health. Hai took Jiang Yan and the two of them.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the city was extremely lively on this day, with lanterns and festoons everywhere, all kinds of lanterns, so beautiful that Lin Ruhai bought a lantern with a jade rabbit embracing the moon for Jiang Yan to play with.

Jiang Yan sighed silently in his heart, he was not a real child, he didn't need a lantern to play with, he just said to take it home to his mother and sister, and let the accompanying boy hold it in his hand.

Lin Ruhai brought Jiang Yan out this time not to see the scenery, but to make an appointment with someone. The person he met with was Zhen Fei who met in Hanshan Temple a few months ago.

Zhen Fei, whose name is Shiyin, is a squire in Gusu City. The last time Lin Ruhai met him, they had a good conversation. Later, they met him when many literati were writing poems. The two became friends through literature.

Lin Ruhai and Zhen Shiyin were originally from Gusu. Gusu City said it was big or small, and the reason why they never met was because Lin Ruhai was in an official position after all, and it was always a bit inappropriate to attend a poetry meeting for literati. , as if he intends to make friends.

Coupled with the fact that the family members were lingering and sick, he didn't have the heart to taste poems and talk about poetry, so eight out of ten invitations sent to the mansion were rejected.

He will go this time and that day coincides with Xiumu, when the doctor told him that his wife and children are in good health, he went there in a good mood, and happened to meet Zhen Shiyin.

This time, Zhen Shiyin said that there lived in the Calabash Temple next to his home, a literati named Jia Yucun who was going to take the exam. , Lin Ruhai was born in the imperial examination, so he has a good impression of the literati themselves.

A poor family can easily give birth to a noble son, and he also wants to see if Jia Yucun is really as good as Zhen Shiyin said. If it is true, it is okay for him to give him some money.

In the pavilion in the Gourd Temple, Zhen Shiyin prepared food and wine, Jiang Yan and Lin Ruhai came together, and he saw Jia Yucun.

He looks about 40 years old, and his face is pretty handsome, but his clothes are really shabby, but it's normal, if he had money to buy clothes, he wouldn't live in a temple.

Jiang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly after they were seated. Now Jia Yucun is very cautious, and he is also very respectful to Lin Ruhai and Zhen Shiyin. The three of them admire the moon together, and they look very harmonious in the past.

But in his memory, after the death of the Zhen family, when Jia Yucun met the abducted Yinglian, he didn't lend a helping hand at all because he didn't want to offend others.

During a meal, the three chatted happily. When they parted, both Zhen Shiyin and Lin Ruhai wished Jia Yucun a smooth entrance exam, and Zhen Shiyin also gave him some money for money. down.

On the carriage going back, Jiang Yan looked at Lin Ruhai. This should be the first time Lin Ruhai saw Jia Yucun. Although he had a good impression of the literati, he didn't show too much enthusiasm just now, and said, "Daddy, what happened to Jia Yucun today?" I don't like people very much."

"Oh? Why did Jue'er say that?"

"His eyes were shining brightly, and he looked very scary." Jiang Yan trembled as he spoke, as if he was really scared.

Lin Ruhai couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He admired Jia Yucun's talent, but compared with his own son, his son was of course closer. "Then Jue'er, tell Dad carefully, what is the light in that man's eyes?"

Jiang Yan used the words learned by five-year-old children to describe, with some difficulty, he described Jia Yucun as a villain, but in fact he was a villain, and he just told Lin Ruhai a side he hadn't discovered.

Lin Ruhai listened, thinking carefully about Jia Yucun's appearance when he was talking to them today, and then looked at Jiang Yan's black and white eyes.

His son has been weak and sick since he was born, but he is extremely smart. He was worried that Tian would be jealous before he would let his son leave him. Now that his son is getting better, he is a little relieved, but it is undeniable that he is in good health. The son is still very smart.

Think carefully that sometimes children's pure eyes can indeed discover many things that adults can't see, "Jue'er should not easily tell others about these words in the future, do you understand?"

"Understood, Daddy, Jue'er made a note of it." Of course he would not tell others casually, he is not a fool, and now he is talking to Lin Ruhai only based on his observations during this period of time and found that he is not an ordinary and rigid parent, but still respects his children very much. ideas.Otherwise, he wouldn't have said it so bluntly.

Although Lin Ruhai believed Jiang Yan's words, he didn't take it to heart. Theoretically speaking, he has no relationship with Jia Yucun now, and they are just acquaintances.

However, when he met Zhen Shiyin again at the poetry meeting, he was told that Jia Yucun left the Calabash Temple on the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival to go to Beijing for the exam.

"Didn't you say you had to choose an auspicious day before setting off? Why are you in such a hurry?" Lin Ruhai asked suspiciously. Jia Yucun showed a very indifferent attitude to fame and fortune that day.

I didn't feel down because I was in a temple and sold calligraphy and paintings for a living. On the contrary, I acted leisurely and contented. The literati's character of being neither humble nor overbearing is completely displayed. Why can't I wait to leave the second day after receiving the money?

"Maybe it's because I've been here for too long and I'm so anxious." Zhen Shiyin guessed.

Lin Ruhai's eyes were deep, and if Jiang Yan hadn't told him that Jia Yucun's eyes were shining brightly, he wouldn't have any doubts about what Zhen Shiyin said now. After all, rushing for the exam is a major event in life, and it is right to be anxious.

But what he said the night before was forgotten early the next morning. It cannot be said that he did not keep his promise. After all, it is not a promise, but it is so capricious. This person should not be friends with.

"It seems that this person is dishonest and cannot be friends with him. It's just that the master has told the matter to the master Zhen. Since the master and the master Zhen share the same goals, it is better to remind him."

In the evening, Jia Min was chatting with Lin Ruhai while doing embroidery work. Since he recovered from his illness, the husband and wife had more savings. After dinner, as long as there were no important things, they would gossip as they do now.

Lin Ruhai thought for a while, Zhen Shiyin was indeed very optimistic about Jia Yucun's appearance, but it was not a gentleman's behavior to speak ill of others behind his back, "There is no need to deliberately remind, Jia Yucun went to the capital to rush for the exam, and we will definitely not be able to see each other for a while. Find a good time for someone to send a message to the Zhen family to invite Mrs. Feng to come to the house, and then you can tell her about it."

Over the years, there have been constant illnesses at home, and Lin Ruhai is very worried. He is unwilling to leave home after finishing his official duties. It has been a long time since he has met such a congenial person. He still values ​​Zhen Shiyin very much, so I want to remind him.

Of course, it was just a reminder. After all, they were all adults and had the ability to judge right from wrong. If Zhen Shiyin still believed that Jia Yucun could be handed over, he would not say anything more.

Jia Min accepted the matter, and then the husband and wife talked about a lot of trivial matters about the two children. Because of illness, Jia Min had never personally made clothes for the two children. Now that she is in good health, she naturally wants to Make up for what you didn't do before.

Showing the finished clothes to Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai doesn't know much about needlework, but only thinks that her intentions are good, so naturally they are all praises.

Jiang Yan didn't care about Jia Yucun at all. Jia Yucun will get good grades in the imperial examination this time, but he will be dismissed in a few years. He was also Daiyu's teacher at that time. After Daiyu came to Beijing, he caught up with her. The line of Rongguo Mansion once again has an official status.

As long as he is not allowed to be Daiyu's Mr. Xixi in a few years, even if he has another way to get to Rongguo Mansion, that is their business and has nothing to do with Lin Mansion.

And when Jiang Yan saw that Mrs. Feng was invited to the mansion, she felt more at ease. Lin Ruhai had already seen the problem of Jia Yucun, so naturally she would not take the initiative to provoke him.

The sound of 'pa...' was the sound of wicker being slammed on the table, and Jiang Yan immediately recovered his senses and looked forward.

Mr. Baibeard and Baimei, who is over half a year old, is glaring at him, "Didn't you learn everything? Now recite the whole article to me."

"Sir, I..."

"Can't recite it? Why don't you listen carefully if you can't recite it? Don't think that you are smart and you are not careful. This old man has taught countless students for most of his life. He has never seen someone who can learn it just by playing in class..."

Jiang Yan stood up straight and listened to Mr. Chen's earnest teaching. This is the first teacher Lin Ruhai found for him. It is said that he is the most learned scholar in Gusu City.

Knowledge is real. There are often different opinions on the understanding of ancient articles. It is not a problem to recite poems and compose poems. The only shortcoming is that he is a bit nagging. Prepare your ears for calluses.

It was close to noon, after the homework was assigned, it was finally time for get out of class, and Jiang Yan waited for Mr. Chen to leave first, so Jiang Yan couldn't wait to go to Lin Daiyu's small courtyard.

Since he started enlightenment with Mr. Chen, Lin Ruhai separated him from Lin Daiyu again, worrying that Jiang Yan only knew how to play with his sister and not study hard. Fortunately, their yard is not far away, just a few steps away.

"The young master is here, Miss just woke up." Seeing Jiang Yan coming, Nanny Lian said with a smile.

Jiang Yan stepped forward to tease Daiyu. Now Daiyu is healthier than when she was a hundred days old, and her face and arms feel a little fleshy to the touch.

When I saw Jiang Yan, I started to babble, I couldn't hear what she was saying, but I could feel her good mood.

"Nurse Lian, go and get some cooked porridge. I'll feed my sister some, and then I'll have dinner with my mother."

"The young master came at the right time. The porridge has already been cooked and is simmering on the stove. It happens that the lady just woke up and can drink it."

Jiang Yan took the small bowl of porridge handed over by Sister Lian. The rice had been boiled rotten, and there were some pureed vegetables in it. For half-year-old children, the nutrition of breast milk is not enough to support growth. Properly drinking some porridge can increase nutrition. Daiyu doesn't take medicine now, but she still needs to take good care of her body.

Daiyu has taken medicine the most besides breast milk since she was born. It can be seen that she likes this kind of food with a certain taste, and she finishes drinking a small bowl of porridge in a short time.

Although it is necessary to increase nutrition, there is no need to drink any more today. Eating too much is not easy for the baby's stomach to digest, but it will affect her health.

After exhorting Mother Lian, she went to Jia Min's yard.

Sister Lian didn't know how much Jiang Yan attached importance to Daiyu's health, she only regarded it as her elder brother's love for her younger sister, she sighed silently, it was not easy, she had to remember these things at a young age, and she had to tell her almost every day.

"Our lady also likes my brother feeding porridge, doesn't she? She's so happy." Seeing that Daiyu was full and didn't feel drowsy, she was in good spirits, so she teased and laughed with the little tiger made of cloth.

"Smile, I just have to smile more. You can laugh and no one wants to cry, right? Smile one more..."

Sister Lian's teasing laughter, and Daiyu's clear laughter like silver bells echoed in the yard.

If you can laugh, why cry? Jiang Yan's purpose in this world is to make Lin Daiyu never cry.

No matter what Shenying attendant Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass, no matter how much he repays favor and tears, no matter what kind of alliance he has before, now Daiyu is just his sister, that's all, no matter if it's the police fantasy fairy in the illusory realm, or Others seem to be mysterious lame Taoists and monks with scarlet heads.

On Daiyu's way to happiness, the devil blocks and kills the devil and the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha.

So far everything is going well, he just needs to ensure that the formations in the safety talisman worn by his family will not disperse, and that there is spiritual protection around him, so that the disease will not invade the body. It's getting better and better.

Day by day, since Jia Min and Mrs. Feng met once, they always have two or three appointments a month, either at home or in the embroidery workshop outside. She also likes the youngest daughter of the Zhen family, Yinglian. .

Lin Ruhai didn't have much contact with literati outside of his job because his wife had been ill for many years. As a patient, Jia Min didn't have the energy to socialize with other wives. Some.

At the end of the new year, Jia Min sent people to the Zhen family to give a gift, and the Zhen family also returned the gift. Looking at the gift from the Zhen family, Jiang Yan realized that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month might be the Lantern Festival when Yinglian was kidnapped by a kidnapper.

Then the Gourd Temple caught fire, implicating that Zhen’s house was burned and nothing was left. Zhen Shiyin and Mrs. Feng could only move to live in Zhuangzi, but Zhuangzi’s harvest had not been good for several years, so the couple had to move to their father-in-law’s house go.

Later, Zhen Shiyin and the lame Taoist Monk Laitou left. Jiang Yan didn't know what happened to the Feng family, but he didn't need to think about it. Her husband left insane, her daughter was kidnapped by a kidnapper, and the rest of her life was nothing but pain.

Jiang Yan thinks about Yuxue's lovely Yinglian now, and the cute and cute Xiangling who later worshiped Daiyu as a teacher to learn poetry. She was also born in the expectation of her parents. With those encounters, he ended up in such a tragic end.

So on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Jiang Yan deliberately pestered Lin Ruhai, begging to take him out to play tomorrow.

Lin Ruhai also wanted to take his family out to watch the excitement. These years, the atmosphere of being sick and celebrating the festival has been much less. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jia Min Daiyu was not fully recovered from her illness and could not blow air. Now it is much better than before. The family went out to have a look It is also possible.

But Lin Ruhai still took this opportunity to ask Jiang Yan to recite an ancient poem, asking him to recite it before taking him out.

What can Jiang Yan do about this kind of thing, he can only agree. Fortunately, he is not a real child, and Lin Ruhai didn't choose the obscure one considering his age.

A piece of Qiyan not only recited it completely, but also explained the poem. Lin Ruhai nodded when he heard it, very satisfied.

"Jue'er is much smarter than his father when he was a child, and he will definitely be much better than his father in the imperial examination in the future." Lin Ruhai looked at Jiang Yan, his eyes were full of satisfaction.

Jiang Yan also just smiled and didn't say much. He has no plans for the future. Whether he will be an idler or become an official is still unknown, but it is still necessary to show his intelligence in front of his parents. After all, no parent doesn't want to see a smart and alert child.

Jiang Yan deliberately pestered Lin Ruhai to go out in the evening, and it was only dark when the restaurant was booked.

During the Lantern Festival, the streets are brightly lit. There are many lantern sellers on the street during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now there are not only lantern sellers, but also many lantern riddle stalls. The child was abducted.

"Daddy, I want to buy a lantern."

"Go ahead, let Lin Qiao follow you, don't run too far, or you won't be able to see the performance passing downstairs later."

Jiang Yan smiled, and went downstairs with Lin Ruhai's servant Lin Qiao. There was a small stall selling lanterns not far from the restaurant.

Looking at these lanterns in different shapes, but all symbolizing good wishes, Jiang Yan sighed silently. People always yearn for a better life, but life is unsatisfactory in eight or nine out of ten.

It seems that under the beautiful and harmonious atmosphere on the street, there may be hidden kidnappers that make the good families fall apart.

"Lin Qiao, I remember that Zhen's house is only two alleys away from here. Let's go and deliver a lantern to Sister Yinglian before coming back."

"Then I'll hold the young master and walk faster." Lin Qiao thought for a while and said.

Jiang Yan nodded in agreement. Lin Qiao was over 1.8 meters tall, and his two short legs were not as fast as his strides. He carried a lantern with landscape paintings on it and was carried by Lin Qiao to Zhen's house. .

Going out early means calculating the time. When Jiang Yan came to Zhen's house, they hadn't gone out yet.

"Uncle Zhen, my parents and younger sister are out today, can I bring Sister Yinglian over there to play together?" Putting him under his silver skin, he should not be abducted by kidnappers.

Zhen Shiyin and Mrs. Feng were worried that Yinglian would cause trouble for Lin Ruhai and his wife. After all, it was really inconvenient for a family to come out to play and take care of other people's children.

But Jiang Yan said to Yinglian very seriously: "Daiyu has grown up a bit, and she can already call her parents. Do you want to see it?"

Before Yinglian and Mrs. Feng went to Lin's house together, she also met Daiyu, and she liked Daiyu very much. Now she heard what Jiang Yan said, and immediately looked at her parents demandingly.

There is only such a daughter in the past half a hundred years, and Zhen Shiyin and his wife can't bear her eyes, so they agree to Jiang Yan to take her, and go to the Lin family tomorrow to thank her.

It was precisely because of Jiang Yan's actions that Yinglian was not abducted. No one in the Zhen family went out to find her. When the Gourd Temple was just found on fire, the Zhen family helped put out the fire.

The Gourd Temple was burnt and dilapidated, but the loss of the Zhen family was not serious.

When the Zhen family stabilized and went to the Lin Mansion to thank her, Mrs. Feng was still terrified of the fire. This time she came to bid farewell to Jia Min. Zhen Shiyin thought about going to live in Zhuangzi with her family for a while.

In the next few years, due to various reasons, the harvests of all farmers' farms were not good, and the Zhen family's was no exception. However, because the Zhen family still had some wealth, they did not end up going to live in their father-in-law's house.

After the three-year catastrophe, the life of the farmers has become better, but the heavy taxation still makes their income meager and they can barely make ends meet.

In a blink of an eye, Daiyu was already five years old. It can be said that she was raised and brought up pampered. Jia Min was in good health.

It wasn't until Lin Ruhai's transfer order came down that he served as Yangzhou inspector salt censor, and just before their family left for Yangzhou, Jiang Yan took the college examination and successfully upgraded from a child to a scholar.

A ten-year-old scholar, it can be said that he is very powerful. Lin Ruhai and Jia Min are very satisfied with the result.

Daiyu is still young, although she doesn't know why, but her parents are happy, and she also happily praised him: "My brother is so powerful, I knew that my brother is the best."

A childish voice spoke, with a pair of eyes shining brightly, Jiang Yan remembered something, and said to her solemnly: "Does Daiyu know what brother has done?"

Daiyu shook her head honestly, and Jiang Yan told her carefully: "My brother went to take an exam. This exam is different from the usual exams that my husband gives to my brother, but it is a very important exam."

"How important is it?" Daiyu asked ignorantly.

"It's very important. If my brother's exams go smoothly in the future, he can be an official like his father. At that time, he can protect Daiyu, and he can also do things for the people and help many people. Daiyu said yes Not very important."

Daiyu is very intelligent, and her parents taught her to be gentle, respectful and thrifty since she was a child, and now I heard that she can help many people and protect her family, so this should be a very important exam.

"Brother, you have to work harder in the future. When Yu'er grows up, you will have to take the exam, protect your parents, and help many people." Daiyu said with a smile.

Jiang Yan rubbed the top of her head and smiled, "Yu'er is a woman, and women are not allowed to take the scientific examination."

"Why can my brother and Yu'er not?"

Looking at Daiyu's black and white eyes, Jiang Yan decided to talk to her more: "Yes, this matter is very unfair. Only men can take part in the imperial examination but women cannot. Do you know, Yu'er, that many Years ago, it was a man, not everyone can become an official after the exam."

"Then why can brother take the exam now?"

"That's because someone created the imperial examination, so that all scholars in the world have the opportunity to show their revenge. It is a very long process for everything to come from scratch."

"Yu'er should not feel that she is inferior to men just because she can't take the imperial examination. She should believe that one day women will be able to take the imperial examination and gain achievements just like men."

No matter how smart Daiyu is, she will not know how long the "long process" Jiang Yan said will be. For her, it may be a long process from tonight to tomorrow night, because tomorrow is the fifth day of the new year, and every month She can eat crispy squab even on the fifth day of the first day.

Nodding seriously, "Then Yu'er will go when women can take the exam in the future."

"Of course it's ok, but Yu'er has to study hard before taking the exam, otherwise it will be bad if she is inferior to others."

Lin Daiyu's eyes are full of seriousness. She hasn't studied with the teacher yet, but she has learned to write and memorize poems with her mother. She doesn't think it is difficult to read and practice calligraphy. Just like what her brother said, she doesn't No worse than men in the world.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min heard Jiang Yan's words outside, although they felt that he should not think about the fantasy, it would be so far away for a woman to take the imperial examination, and her daughter's wish to take part in it would probably come to naught .

But what Jiang Yan said was right, Daiyu should not feel inferior to men just because she cannot take the imperial examinations like men.

Their two children are very smart, as long as they study hard, Daiyu can also become a talented woman.

"Master, is it true that Jue'er told Daiyu that it's all right?" It was unheard of for women to take part in the imperial examination. You must know that even during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Tang Dynasty, there was no imperial examination for women.

"Ma'am, don't worry. Jue'er is just comforting Daiyu. She closed the door and said at home. Jue'er has the sense to not say it outside."

Hearing what Lin Ruhai said, Jia Min felt a little relieved.

At the same time, the matter of finding an enlightenment teacher for Daiyu was also put on the agenda. Seeing that Jiang Yan was ten years old under the guidance of Mr. Chen and succeeded in the first entrance examination, Lin Ruhai thought of asking Mr. Chen to do it for Daiyu as well. Enlightenment.

But he never thought that Mr. Chen was not only unwilling to be Lin Daiyu's first teacher, but also quit his job of continuing to teach Jiang Yan's knowledge.

"Master Lin knows me. After studying for a lifetime, he is still only a scholar. Now Jue'er is just like me. I really can't teach anymore. Please ask Master Lin to hire another talented person."

Mr. Chen has already said so, what else can Lin Ruhai say, he can only agree. He also knows in his heart that Mr. Chen is more than enough to teach a ten-year-old student, but the master and apprentice are both scholars, and Mr. Chen can't bear it. .

Lin Ruhai no longer insisted, thinking that when he arrived in Yangzhou, he would find a husband who could enlighten Daiyu while teaching Jiang Yan, but he didn't know if such a gentleman could be found.

He didn't seek fame and wealth all his life, only this pair of children, after experiencing the pain of the past few years, he almost lost his family, and now he only wants to raise them well.

Gusu is not far from Yangzhou, but there are still a lot of things to do when the family moves. All of a sudden, the Lin family is busy, and the two children Jiang Yan and Daiyu have become the most leisurely people.

This situation was maintained until Yangzhou settled down. Lin Ruhai found a gentleman named Wen for the two children. It is said that he was a very famous teacher of the Yangzhou generation. He was hired by Lin Ruhai to his home with a lot of money. He also taught Jiang Yan homework.

Compared with Jiang Yan's "keep her ears off the window and only read the books of sages and sages", Daiyu is busy. Not only does she have to learn from Mr. Wen, but Jia Min also finds the embroiderer to teach her female red, after all female red Needlework is an essential skill for women in this era.

Daiyu was also very interested in this. She was very good at making it at a young age. Her first embroidery was a handkerchief with a green bamboo embroidered on it. After the embroidery was finished, she gave it to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan expressed his great honor for this. This is Daiyu's first embroidery. The stitching is a bit clumsy, but it is also an achievement of hers. It will be interesting to take it out after collecting it.

The first one was given to Jiang Yan. Originally, the whole family thought that Daiyu was going to give the second one to Lin Ruhai or Jia Min, but they never thought that she would give the handkerchief embroidered with a lotus flower to Yinglian.

When Jia Min asked her why she gave it to Yinglian, Daiyu smiled a little embarrassedly, "Mother, didn't you say that sister Yinglian and I exchanged handkerchiefs? Sister Yinglian gave me a handkerchief before, so I I also want to give her a handkerchief."

The friendship between the two young daughters, Jia Min also came from that time. When she was young, she used to have a few good friends, but as she grew up and married each other, it has been many years. We've been in touch.

But she will never forget the friendship between sisters when she was a child, it is also the most sincere and pure relationship in life.

Now Daiyu is just like when she was a child, Jia Min didn't agree with anything, and reminded Daiyu that she could write a letter to Yinglian and send it to Zhen's house together with the handkerchief.

The harvest of Zhen's family in Zhuangzi was not good in the past few years, but it has improved a lot in the past two years. The original house was renovated, and the family moved back. Because of the fire before, Zhen Shiyin paid special attention to safety in this area. Thinking about it, there will never be a situation where everything is destroyed by a fire.

In the past few years, the Lin family and the Zhen family have been in contact, and it was because Lin Ruhai moved his family to Yangzhou in the past few months that they did not meet each other.

Yinglian was very happy to receive Daiyu's letter, and quickly replied a letter. In this way, the two little girls wrote to each other from time to time, and kept in touch.

It's just that this time Zhen Shiyin invited Yinglian to have a husband, and there will never be a situation where if you want to learn poetry, you can only let Daiyu be your master.

On February [-]th, the Huachao Festival is also Daiyu's birthday. After this birthday, Daiyu will be six years old.

This day happened to be Lin Ruhai taking a rest, and the whole family was going out of the city. The winter in Yangzhou was not as cold as in the north. In early spring and February, the scenery of Yangzhou had begun to be beautiful.

Since Lin Ruhai went to Hanshan Temple to pray for a safe talisman, the whole family's condition has improved. Since then, the husband and wife will go to the temple every few months to pray for the blessing of the Buddha.

It's just that the temples I went to before were all in Gusu, and they haven't been to the temples in Yangzhou. It happened to be Daiyu's birthday, and the whole family went to worship Buddha together.

Daiyu used to be wrapped tightly when she went out, but this was the first time she was wearing only a small cloak, and when she opened the curtain of the carriage, she could see the scenery of people coming and going outside.

"Okay, Yu'er, put down the curtain quickly, you should be sick if the wind blows in a while." Jia Min pulled Daiyu to sit in her arms.

Daiyu was a little reluctant, "But I want to see it."

"Hey, I heard that the scenery outside the temple is very good. Let my brother take you to have a look at that time. Now the carriage is running with the wind, so be careful."

When Jia Min said so, Daiyu could only agree, and wait obediently for a while to go to the temple and let her brother take her around to play.

The family house is very big, with rockery and ponds, but Daiyu still likes to see this kind of real mountains and rivers. The beauty of real mountains and waters cannot be compared with rockery and small ponds.

However, I don't know if it was because of being too excited, she woke up very early in the morning, and now she was dangling in the carriage, and Daiyu unconsciously fell asleep in Jia Min's arms.

In the dream, she seemed to come to a place, the place was filled with white smoke, she was walking in a daze, and she was the only one around, her parents, brother, and Nanny Lian who had been by her side all the time were gone, no matter whether she How to call it, it just doesn't appear.

And just when she was flustered and didn't know what to do, she vaguely saw two figures in the white mist, like a monk and a Taoist priest...

"Yu'er wake up, we are here."

Mother's gentle voice sounded in her ears, Daiyu opened her eyes, and saw that gentle smiling face, which was completely different from the two ugly faces she saw just now, and she didn't react for a while.

"Could it be that our Yu'er is sleepy? Hurry up and wake up, mother will take you to worship the Buddha."

Daiyu was carried into the hall in such a daze by the nanny, and knelt on the futon like Jia Min to bow down to the huge Buddha statue in the hall.

Daiyu looked up, the Buddha statue was smiling, and its kindness made people feel warm all over. Looking at it, her heart calmed down, and she forgot all the fear in the dream just now, and she also laughed unconsciously.

Coming out of the main hall, the whole family reunited, because Lin Ruhai and Jiang Yan came on horseback, so they arrived first, they had already bowed down and donated money for sesame oil.

Lin Ruhai was going to take Jia Min to meet the master in the temple, and asked Jiang Yan to take Daiyu out first.

The temple was built on the hillside rather than the top of the mountain, so the temperature is not very low. There are already some peach trees blooming with delicate stamens outside the temple. Daiyu didn't want to leave when she saw the pink, tender, and tender scenery. Drill into the peach forest.

"Brother, look, Huahua is so beautiful."

Daiyu looked up at the peach tree. Although the peach tree was not tall, she was too small, so she could only look up.

"Yu'er likes it, why don't we fold some and take it home?"

"is it okay?"

Jiang Yan thought of Daiyu's sad spring and autumn burial of flowers in Jia's mansion, and smiled, "Of course, these flowers are still in bud, and they can be put in a porcelain vase at home, so they can look good for a long time. "

Seeing what Jiang Yan said, Daiyu smiled instantly, and pointed to a peach branch with many flowers and bones on it: "Then brother helped me break it here."

Jiang Yan picked up Daiyu, "Daiyu folded it by herself, and put it in the bottle by herself when she got home.
