[Red House] How to escape from a broken ship

After that, Ji Kuan never appeared again. If it wasn't for the fact that the white jade cup was still on Duobaoge, Jia Yan would almost think that the meeting that day was just his own imagination.

The days of this year go by so fast, the Dragon Boat Festival has to eat zongzi, the women have to be busy begging for artifices, the Mid-Autumn Festival has to eat moon cakes, the Double Ninth Festival has wine and chrysanthemums, not to mention the three major festivals of Shangyuan, Zhongyuan and Xiayuan. , It's the twelfth lunar month again in a blink of an eye.

When autumn came, Xu Zhi bid farewell to Jia Yan, and he had to go home first, as he had not been at home for several years.Afterwards, if the career goes well, he is afraid that he will not have time to meet his family again, so he will wait until before the hospital examination before returning.Jia Yan and Sun Zhong practiced it for Xu Zhi, and as the eldest son, Sun Zhong was new to Yangzhou, and during the Chinese New Year, he had to serve his parents at home, or teach his younger siblings to read, so he was not free.

Jia Yan's house suddenly became empty, and he often ran to Lin's mansion. For example, at this moment, Jia Yan and Daiyu sat facing each other in neat clothes, obediently drinking spicy soup, listening to Jia Min's lesson, the main lesson The object is Daiyu...

Although the winter in Yangzhou is not very cold, the water is quite bitter, so Daiyu wanted to go fishing on a whim.No one came to the house in winter, so she was wearing a cloak and hugging the stove, planning to go fishing by the pond in the garden.

It so happened that Jia Yan went to say hello to Jia Min, and when she came out of the main room, she saw her standing by the water with snow geese to go fishing, Jia Yan stared, "Sister, what are you doing!"

"Hush, winter fishing." Daiyu gestured with the lying rabbit to prevent Jia Yan from speaking loudly. Jia Yan shook his head and walked over: "Give me the fishing rod, and I will fish for you. You stand back with the snow geese." .It’s winter, and I’m not afraid of slipping and falling.”

It turns out that people are not as good as people. When the fish was hooked, Jia Yan focused backwards to catch the fish, then stepped on the moss, slid, and with a loud noise, he fell headfirst into the water!

Daiyu jumped up: "Xueyan, go and call someone! Cousin! How are you!"

Jia Yan's head and body were covered with water, and he propped himself up to get up from the pool. Fortunately, the water was not too deep.He looked at Daiyu with blank eyes, saw that those bright eyes were full of smiles, and deeply felt that he had completely lost face today...

Then I was asked by my aunt to change clothes, and after changing clothes, I sat down and was scolded.

Daiyu was the first to be scolded, "It's so cold in winter, you still want to go fishing, and your brother wants to help you fish, but you don't say you're coming back! Yuer, what a dangerous thing this is, you and you Brother has something, what do you want mother to do!" Daiyu sat there obediently, not daring to say a word, completely gone from her usual eloquent appearance.

Jia Yan sipped the soup with a suppressed smile, and was taught a lesson, "Brother Yan, you too, and you have to fish for your sister. If the water is really deep, it will be stubborn to fall! You should act like a big brother." , Tell your sister to come back, don’t mess around.”

"Nephew knows he's wrong," Jia Yan listened to the training with his hands down in a polite manner, "Nephew will definitely not mess around in the future."

Jia Min looked at him angrily: "You are also a crowned person. Seeing that next year you will have the hospital examination, and then the rural examination. If you are sick now, you will blame you!" I was so angry that I couldn't speak .

Daiyu slowly rubbed her hand and hooked her mother's hand: "Mother, I really know that I was wrong, and my brother also knows. Mother~ This is all my daughter's fault. Don't teach brother a lesson, you should teach me."

Just as Jia Min was about to say something, Lin Hai came to rescue him outside: "Oh, what's wrong with our eldest girl, what's wrong with you, Ah Yan." The two children saluted honestly and said hello, Jia Min looked at Lin Hai angrily and wanted to laugh, Still pretending, still pretending not to know!

"Oh, Ah Yan, there are new books in the uncle's study, you go and have a look. Oh, Yu'er, take your maid and show your brother the way, it's in the inner study, take whatever you like back to read " Lin Hai said, still quietly waving his hands behind him.

Jia Yan and Daiyu looked at each other, then looked at Jia Min, she looked at Lin Hai with anger, Lin Hai just smiled.Only then did Jia Min hold it high and warn them not to go to the water's edge again, and just sent them away.

"I'm sorry brother today," Daiyu said apologetically, "If I hadn't insisted on fishing, I wouldn't have let you fall into the water properly."

Jia Yan was wearing the clothes Lin Hai wore when he was young, with a cloak wrapped around him, and he smiled: "It's better if I fall into the water than you fall into the water, right?"

Daiyu's heart moved, she stared at Jia Yan for a while, both of them stopped, and Jia Yan asked, "What's wrong with my sister?"

"It's nothing," Daiyu looked into Jia Yan's eyes, which were full of concern, and she smiled, "Brother pressed down your temples, your hair is a bit messy."

Jia Yan stroked her hair casually, without thinking too much, Daiyu talked about her father's collection of books, and the two went to the inner study with a smile.After Daiyu grew up, there was an inner study in the inner courtyard near the outer courtyard, which was convenient for the family of three to study in the inner courtyard.

The study furnished by Jia Min and his daughter is not as girlish as imagined, nor is it exquisite, but elegant and bookish.Jia Yan didn't take many other books, but read commentaries on scriptures, all for next year's college examination.But Daiyu unceremoniously searched for the new book. She recently read the picture book, and became interested in travel notes again.

"If there is a chance, it would be great to see these scenic spots with my own eyes." Daiyu said to herself with a few travel books, and Jia Yan said: "Yangzhou has Qiling Temple for hundreds of years. When my uncle is free , when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, my sister can tell her uncle and aunt, or the whole family can go together, or I can escort my sister to go for an outing."

Daiyu immediately asked: "Really? Qiling Temple, there is the Pingshan Hall built by Ouyang Wenzhong, right?"

"Yes, if my sister wants to read it, just go and read it when the time comes." Jia Yan hugged her book, "By the way, it's the Chinese New Year again, is there anything my sister wants? Taking advantage of the busy market at this time, I Have someone prepare it for you."

Daiyu shook her head: "These books are enough for me to read for a while, and I still have the little toys you brought back for me last time. By the way, brother Ayan, people will come to Beijing after the next year!"

Jia Yan scratched his head: "Beijing? Where are people from Beijing?"

"My natal family is actually my elder brother's family, the Jia family of Rongguo Mansion!" Daiyu laughed and said, "It seems that the second cousin of the eldest uncle's family brought people here. It's really strange to say that my mother also said that the second uncle There is also a second cousin in the family."

To be honest, except for the word Rongguofu, Jia Yan didn't know what Daiyu said... The second brother of the uncle's family, who is it?Jia Yan was a little uncomfortable. He could see that Daiyu was curious about the people from Beijing, and she was a bit apprehensive. She was obviously my sister...

He said, "Has my sister never met my uncle's family?"

"No," Daiyu fiddled with the ornaments on the desk: "When I was born, my grandmother sent someone to visit, but my father had been working outside, and my mother and I never went to the capital. Up to now, I only know a few of my grandmother's family. People, what kind of cousins ​​and cousins ​​do I have, actually there is nothing interesting, um, there is only one thing, it is said that the second cousin of the second uncle's family was born with a piece of jade."

"Oh." Jia Yan thought for a while, and it seemed that her mother and others had also mentioned that there was a young man in the Jingzhong Duke's mansion who was "born with jade in his mouth".Will I be thrown aside when I have a new brother?Daiyu was still wondering, why don't you stay at home for dinner?

Obviously, Daiyu is not someone who "meet Jia Lian, but forget Jia Yan". Just after the Lantern Festival, "the second elder brother of the uncle's family" came.However, Daiyu's perception of her second cousin is really average. Although Jia Lian is a serious son of the public, Daiyu always feels that this second cousin is a little...too loose.

The man she is most familiar with is her father Lin Hai, needless to say; even Jia Yan, who is not a few years older than her, is also self-disciplined.Jia Lian was obviously too casual, the son had a strong temperament, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but Daiyu didn't like it very much.

When she talked to her parents in private, Lin Hai first warned Daiyu not to talk nonsense, and then smiled wryly: Sure enough, mother and daughter.

Jia Min has always had a low opinion of the younger boys from her natal family, and even less of Erfang Baoyu, whom her mother, Mrs. Rongguo, regards as the apple of her eye.You know, Jia Min's evaluation of Baoyu is: born with jade, very stubborn, hates reading, likes to hang out in the inner circle, and the old lady is very doting, no one dares to care.

Now Daiyu has an average impression of Jia Lian, the second cousin, Lin Hai shook his head and sighed, maybe it really doesn't get along.

The son of the public house visited his aunt instead of his grandmother. Jia Min looked at his nephew and thought of his nephew again, so he asked Jia Yan to come over.She said to Jia Lian: "Although he is your uncle's nephew, speaking of it, you are also his serious brother. Brother Yan is eager to learn, and he will take the hospital examination in April. After the rural examination in August, he will also go to Beijing. You guys See you soon."

Jia Lian stood at the bottom with her hands down: "Auntie, you mentioned this younger brother Yan in your letter. The old lady and the second master both said that there are such studious and progressive children among the Jinling clan. They are all happy. They specially called my nephew. I must see you, go back and tell the old lady and the master."

"It's really different," Jia Lian held Jia Yan's hand, and said to his aunt, "It's strange that my aunt said that the old lady knew that brother Yan was a beautiful person at first sight."

Jia Yan hurriedly said: "Don't dare, the clan brother is too famous."

"Hey, you and I are brothers too, so it's just right to call me Lian's second brother." Jia Lian looked at Jia Yan and said, "Why should you be so polite? Brother Riyan is going to Beijing to catch the exam, and I'm still waiting to drink the wedding wine of your new Jinshi!"

Jia Min watched from above. Although she felt that it was a pity that Jia Lian refused to study hard, this child was indeed a person walking in the world.Look at this mouth, it can really speak.

Jia Yan sounded very obedient, but she just smiled. These words were actually aimed at Jia Min.Otherwise, what kind of common language can he, a boy, and a prince of the government have in common, can be regarded by others, and can listen to this car well.Although Jia Yan cultivated himself by studying, he was not like Sun Zhong, who aimed to be a sincere gentleman. He didn't really believe in many things in the scriptures.
