The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

Not to mention how hard-hearted Wang Xifeng rejected her daughter, Jia Lian returned with satisfaction.

Mr. Bai and his wife are not people who are content with pleasure, and their bones are full of adventurous spirit. If Mrs. Bai was not physically weak, they would not have stayed in Jia's house for so many years.

Now Mrs. Bai's health has been recuperated, and Jia Lian has also promised to accompany the imperial physician and medical girl, and various medicinal materials for nourishing the body are in sufficient supply, which relieves them of any worries.The Bai family and his wife were indifferent to fame and fortune, now that Jia Lian passed the ladder over, thinking about the vast world outside, there is no way they would be unwilling.

Several people agreed on all matters, and everyone in Jia's family closed their doors to observe their filial piety. They didn't even move around during the Chinese New Year, and only gave gifts to the close ones.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, although the weather was still cold, the Jia family had already packed up and was ready to go south.

Although the ice in the canal is thick, the merchant ships coming and going are not afraid. They have already used tools to break through the ice, and they are still passing through.The five or six large ships of the Marquis of Zhaoming set sail under the watchful eyes of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min when everyone in the capital was ignorant, away from the muddy water in the capital.

The wind is blowing in the capital, and the competition among the princes has reached a fever pitch.There are speculators who want to make a fortune, and there are naturally people who want to avoid risks and live a stable life. Lin Ruhai is the latter.

He entrusted his two sons and daughters to Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, and he and Jia Min stayed in Beijing, carefully dealing with the coercion and suppression of various forces.

Lin Ruhai is over 50 years old. Although the imperial physician has helped to take care of her body these years, she is worse than before, but her fundamentals are still not as good as ordinary people.Jia Min's body was even weaker, and all kinds of strange child-seeking medicines had already made her body half useless, and she helped Lin Ruhai block the poison once again. Although the poison was cured, it was harmful to her lifespan.

The imperial physician also told the two of them in private that Lin Ruhai would not live to be sixty at most, while Jia Min estimated that fifty-five would be hard to reach.

The husband and wife are indifferent to life and death, but their children are very worried. Daiyu is not yet young, and Lin Dong is even less than ten years old. How can he stand up for the family.Although there are two cousins, Lin Qiong and Lin Lang, they didn't grow up together after all, and the current status of the two people in the circle can't take care of Daiyu siblings very well.

Therefore, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min still trusted Wang Xifeng and his wife more, so they packed up their children and sent them away, just to let Jia Lian take care of them more.

Jia Lian is naturally aware of Lin Ruhai's love for his son, and is deeply grateful.

In the last life, due to the greed of the Jia family, Daiyu, the last single seedling of the Lin family, died in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and the huge family wealth filled the gap of the Jia family.Although Jia Lian is shameless, sometimes he feels guilty when he thinks about it. If he can help the Lin family in this life, it will make him feel better.

The days back to Jinling were uneventful.

All the officials and gentry who came to visit were stopped outside the gate, and those tribesmen in the past, because of Jia Lian's cruelty, also kept their family at a respectful distance, and everyone lived a peaceful life.

The Shangsi Festival on the third day of March happens to be the day when Jia Lian's fleet sets sail.

Besides Tanchun and Yingchun, Daiyu and Lin Dong were also in the entourage, which was agreed by Lin Ruhai.The world is vast and boundless, but the world is short and miserable. He has lived his whole life as a dog, but his son and daughter hope that they can live a happy and free life.

"it's beautiful!"

Looking at the white seagulls flying over the sea, and the dolphins spraying water from time to time in the distance, Daiyu couldn't help sighing.

"I want to draw all of these!" Xichun happily took out the drawing board, as well as the charcoal pencil Jia Lian specially ordered for her, "It's a pity that the second sister-in-law and sister Qiao didn't come, but I will draw a few more." A painting, let them see it when the time comes, as long as they come with us."

"You're such a good-looking girl!" Tanchun flicked her head, and said amusedly, "If Sister Qiao sees it, and see if she doesn't cry, who will coax her then?"

When Jia Lian came out of the cabin, she saw several younger sisters playing on the deck, but they didn't bother her.

It was Daiyu who saw from the corner of her eye that the three of them stopped and rushed forward to salute.

Jia Lian also just asked about food and daily life, whether he was suffering from motion sickness or something, and when he heard that everything was fine, he didn't linger too long, turned around and went to another deck, leaving it for the female family members to use.

Seeing Jia Lian, the girls' hearts were touched, and they no longer wanted to fight: "Second brother is so courageous. He actually asked Chunming's sister to change her appearance and stay in Jinling pretending to be him!"

"Second elder brother has always been courageous, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be the Marquis of Zhaoming." Tanchun waved his hand indifferently, and then exclaimed, "Sister Chunming is really like her, her height and face are exactly the same. I saw it, but I didn’t even recognize it.”

Daiyu, on the other hand, paid different attention to them: "I heard that this is called disguise technique. It's a unique skill of my teacher's wife. I also want to learn it."

"Ms. Lin has always liked Sister Lin the most. If you beg her, she will definitely agree."

The three of them became interested as they talked, and ordered the maid to pack up their things, and then went to Mrs. Bai's room to ask to see her.

Mrs. Bai was teaching Qing'er boxing, when she heard a knock on the door, she saw Daiyu and the three of them coming hand in hand, and hurriedly let several people in.

"Aunt Lin, Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, is your painting finished?"

Seeing the three of them coming in, Qing'er wiped the sweat off her face with a towel, and sat down to rest.She is neither good nor fond of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but is interested in martial arts and medical skills. Wang Chenglin and his wife don't force her, they just let her learn what she likes.

Xichun replied with a smile: "It's almost there, it will be ready in about two days. What about your boxing skills, how is it going?"

Mrs. Bai smiled at the side: "Qing'er is quite spiritual, and now he has acquired some essence. If he continues to practice like this, in another three to five years, he will be able to surpass my peak."

Daiyu and Tanchun looked at each other and smiled, pleasantly surprised: "In this way, our family has a female knight, and we need Miss Qing'er to protect us a lot in the future."

After all, he made a fist-cup salute very sincerely, and the shy Qing'er hurriedly avoided.

Madam Bai saw the four people laughing, but she didn't make a sound, she just held a cup of tea and slowly sipped it.

When the few people came back to their senses and looked at Mrs. Bai's playful eyes, they felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly hid behind the screen to arrange their makeup and hair.The person who came out again was the extraordinary lady of the big family.

Mrs. Bai joked: "If the nuns see you today, you might rush over and fight me hard."

All four of them were a little shy, too embarrassed to speak out.

Seeing this, Mrs. Bai felt a little annoyed. She was raised in a deep boudoir and was bound by etiquette. Now her words really hit a few people.

She quickly changed the subject: "You guys are here, what's the matter?"

Tanchun was the first to sort out his mood, and said with a smile: "We thought of Sister Chunming's disguise technique. It was really lifelike and exquisitely crafted. We couldn't help but feel itchy. So we came to ask my teacher if she could teach me too. Teach us? You don’t want to be like Sister Chunming, it’s good to just learn a little bit.”

Daiyu and Tanchun nodded repeatedly, and both looked at Mrs. Bai expectantly.

Mrs. Bai was taken aback when she heard the words, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "The art of disguise is just a way for people in the world to hide their eyes. It is not a rare skill, and almost everyone knows it. It's just that it is easy to learn and difficult to learn." Fine, if you just want to change your head and face, you just blacken your skin, and then change your eyebrows, eyes, and mouth shape, it will be a little different from the original appearance. These are not difficult, you can paint your eyebrows and make up every day, and it doesn’t take a few days. Learned."

"But if you want to be like Chunming and be able to have the same height and body shape, then you want to learn the bone shrinking skill. It is a boy's skill, which needs to be practiced at the age of two or three. If you reach the state of great success, you can change it at will The body shape can be tall, short, fat or thin, and only in this way can one achieve all kinds of abilities."

Hearing this, several people suddenly realized: "No wonder, the older sister Chunming I met before was only half a head taller than the second sister-in-law, but the younger sister Chunming who made it easy is as tall, short, fat and thin as the second brother."

"This bone shrinking skill sounds really miraculous, it's like a fairy trick. I thought it was only in the scriptures, but it's true."

……

Several people sighed for a long time, and finally decided to learn the disguise technique: "Master, we can't learn the bone shrinking technique, but we still want to learn the disguise technique."

Mrs. Bai didn't refuse after hearing this, and said immediately: "In that case, after the afternoon nap every day, you can study for half an hour. There is nothing to do on the left and right boats, so it's time to pass the time, but since I have taught, I will teach I hope you can learn well. If you have been fishing for three days and drying the nets for two days, you should stop thinking about it as soon as possible, and I am not as easy to talk to as your husband."

After getting along with each other for these years, they naturally knew Madam Bai's temper. She was a hot-tempered and straightforward Jianghu girl, and she always said what she said.

The three of them got up and agreed, and even Qing'er thought it was interesting, so he also stood aside and said that he would also join.

Naturally, Mrs. Bai has everything she needs, she is bored all day long, and she feels quite happy to be accompanied by such beautiful young girls.

Life on the boat was peaceful and clean. Everyone got up early to watch the sunrise, and watched the sunset in the evening. From time to time, you could see whales spouting water and dolphins playing, all of which were rare sights.Although there were occasional winds and waves that swayed the entire ship, as if it was the end of the world, but in the end they were lucky enough to save themselves from the danger and successfully survived the danger.

Seeing such beautiful scenery more, and at the same time being far away from everything in the Dagan Kingdom, the words and deeds of Daiyu and others became more free and easy.Compared with the days when they were coddled in the backyard in the past, they are now more like pearls that have been swept away from the dust, shining so brightly that people can't take their eyes off.

The days of sea voyages lasted for more than three months. Although the fleet occasionally docked for supplies, everyone still felt physically and mentally exhausted.

However, they are only two or three days away from their destination. It is a brand new continent. Although there are some indigenous residents, they are very warm and friendly.Over the years, under Jia Lian's instructions, they have lived in harmony with the people who have been relocated from the Dagan Kingdom. Although the relationship with each other is not close, it can be called friendly.
