Qing Jialu

Shen Jia and Master Du exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Du Huan and Mu Mian came slowly from the inner house, supporting Mu Jin.Due to the presence of Master Du, they were unable to salute His Majesty, so they could only greet His Majesty verbally and nodded.

"Sit down quickly." Shen Jia stood up and made room for Mu Jin.He stood beside Hibiscus and looked at her belly. He didn't expect a woman to be pregnant so hard that it would be difficult for her to walk and stand upright.And how can Hibiscus's small body bear such a heavy weight?

"Your elder brother traveled thousands of miles to see you, so he must have a lot to say." Master Du was as considerate as Mrs. Du, he stood up and said, "I won't delay you in reminiscing about the past, and I'll call you again at lunch."

"Master Du still prepared food?" Shen Jia apologized, "I'm sorry to bother you, but in fact, we just need to take a look at the hibiscus, so there's no need to bother."

"No trouble, no trouble." Master Du said enthusiastically, "It's rare for Mr. Shen Ge to come here once. When you were an official in Hangzhou, you didn't let the merchants give you gifts and set up a banquet. This is a family banquet, Mr. Shen Ge Don't say no."

Speaking of this, Shen Jia really couldn't refuse, so she could only accept it with a smile.

After several months, Mu Jin didn't see her elder brother and His Majesty again. She wanted to make up the Wanfu gift to His Majesty, but before she got up, Shen Jia stopped her and pressed her on the chair to keep her from moving.

Xiao Yi also said beside him: "We don't like these vain rituals, just be considerate."

"Your Majesty and Eldest Brother came to Hangzhou to visit in person, how can this slave bear it?" Mu Jin rubbed her stomach, "The child can't bear it either."

"We are on the way, don't think too much about it." Shen Jia deliberately distorted the facts, and comforted Mu Jin, "Actually, I want to go back to my hometown and have the cheek to beg Your Majesty to let me go back to Fujian for a while."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi raised his eyes and glanced at him, but he didn't expose him, instead he said along the way: "Yes, and I didn't go to Fujian, so I came together."

"Your Majesty and elder brother will coax me. Du Huan explained yesterday that he wanted to leave Beijing and go home, so he did this." Mu Jin glared at Du Huan as she said, "I'm fine in Hangzhou, he Coming back will only add to the chaos."

"Ah, then... I'm leaving?" Du Huan scratched his head, convinced that it was true, and was a little at a loss.

However, most of women's words are ironic, saying "don't" means "need".Besides, which pregnant woman doesn't want her husband to be by her side?

"Zi Chuan, Zi Chuan, can't you hear the irony?" Although Shen Jia has never been with a woman, but he and Xiao Yi have been together for so many years, he can understand all the irony in love.

Mu Jin was so angry that she secretly stepped on her husband's foot. Before Du Huan could react, he looked at his wife stupidly.

For a while, everyone laughed, and the joyful atmosphere filled the whole hall.

Just after noon, a maidservant came to invite them to a feast.Shen Jia originally thought that there would be a table in the main hall for everyone to have a casual meal.Unexpectedly, Mr. Du was rich and powerful, so he invited them to have a banquet by the waterside pavilion.There is a small stage opposite the waterside pavilion. The Du family raised a theater troupe, and they happened to come over to entertain them.

Shen Jia had to admire that Master Du was not only rich, but also knew how to enjoy himself.There is a little wind blowing by the water, drinking a little wine, listening to a little play... how comfortable it is, how comfortable it is.

"Old Shen Ge, please." Master Du said cheerfully, "It's a bit crude, please don't mind."

Is this still called crude?Shen Jia waved her hands hastily, "Where, Mr. Du is being polite."

So everyone sat at the table, Master Du invited Shen Jia to take a seat, and he sat next to Shen Jia.And it was the only time Xiao Yi sat next to Shen Jia, next to Du Huan.

As for Dr. Fan and Mu Mian, they sat opposite to Xiao Yi and Du Huan. Because Mu Jin was pregnant, she went to the backyard alone to eat a meal specially prepared for her, so she didn't come to sit with her.

Du Huan poured wine for Xiao Yi tremblingly, for fear of neglecting His Majesty the Emperor.However, Xiao Yi didn't mind where he sat. He tilted his head and looked at the opposite stage, singing babbling, with a low and melodious accent, which was pleasant to the ear, like a person from Jiangnan.

"I've never heard of this singing style before." Xiao Yi asked Du Huan, "It's like a Kunshan tune, but it's not a Kunshan tune."

"Brother Xiao's ears are really sharp. It's not Kunshan dialect, but also Yuyao dialect, Yiyang dialect, and Haiyan dialect. We call it 'Shuimo tune'." Du Huan introduced enthusiastically, "Listen, are you listening? Is it as delicate and soft as glutinous rice flour milled with water?"

"Indeed." Xiao Yi listened for a while, nodded and said, "This trip to Hangzhou was not in vain. Last time, I didn't go to the theater to listen to the play because of illness."

"Brother Xiao, if you are free, you can also listen to our commentary here." Du Huan suggested, "There are everywhere in teahouses and wine shops, or let my father invite someone to come to the house to play and sing?"

"It's not busy, we can't stay for too long. We'll listen when the hibiscus is born and we come back from Fujian."

"That's good." Du Huan knew that His Majesty had a lot to do every day, so it was pretty good to be able to spend two or three days in Hangzhou.

At the other table, Dr. Fan was not interested in listening to music, but he was very interested in Jiangnan cuisine, and kept his head down while eating.Mu Mian was thinking about her sister in her heart, she ate every mouthful, and her mind was not here at all.

Seeing that everyone had eaten enough and had listened to a few operas, Shen Jia picked up the wine and said to Master Du, "Master Du, we are leaving Hangzhou tomorrow, so we are leaving here."

After all, Shen Jia drank the glass of wine first.

Master Du knew that they had a lot of noble people, so he didn't want to keep them anymore, he raised his wine glass and said: "Then I wish Elder Shen Ge and all the adults all the best."

After Master Du finished speaking, everyone toasted together and drank it down.

After a banquet, the guests had a good time, and the trip to Hangzhou came to a successful conclusion.

The next day, Xiao Yi, Shen Jia, Doctor Fan and a group of Jin Yiwei boarded the ship and set sail, continuing southward to Fujian.
