The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

"It's here! Sister Lin and Third Sister are finally here!"

Seeing a piece of land from a distance, Xichun couldn't help cheering, and everyone else on the deck was also jumping for joy.

The voyage of more than three months is really too long. Even the seasoned boatmen feel relieved at this moment, let alone these girls.However, the daily exercise is still effective. Although a few of them looked tired, they came to the New World safely and healthily.

Accompanied by the sound of the siren, the ship slowly approached the shore. Jia Cang and Jia Yun had already got the news and brought people to wait beside the port.

Just as the maid beside her was about to put on the hats for Daiyu and the others, Jia Lian stopped them: "No need for that, this place is not like the capital, where there is no such thing as men and women defending against three obediences and four virtues, and the main thing is to be comfortable."

Jia Lian had the highest status, since he had already spoken and Daiyu and the others had no objections, the maids naturally did not dare to make a fuss, and only carefully followed their girls to avoid being bumped into.I dare not think that Jia Cang and the others arranged it very well. There was no outsider present in the entire port, only the personal guards brought by them were left, and the security was well done.

A few people got off the boat, and the first thing they noticed was the gray-white road. Mr. Bai stroked his beard and said, "This road is very different from ours. Could it be the cement road that Lord Hou said?"

Jia Lian nodded and greeted everyone to get on the bus: "It's the cement road. It's better than bluestone slabs, and it's easy to mold. It's the best way to pave roads and build houses. But for now, let's get on the bus first, and go back first to rest. Let's talk about other things."

Naturally, everyone would agree with them. After walking along the concrete road for a while, they saw a row of cars parked by the side of the road.

Jia Cang smiled and said, "Second Uncle, the weather is fine today. I thought you and my aunts came here for the first time, so I chose this convertible car to see the scenery outside."

"You are thoughtful, and the construction here is also good. I just took a look, and I know that you and Brother Yun are both very attentive." Jia Lian nodded appreciatively, and then took out two letters from his sleeve, "This is a home letter from your mother and fifth sister-in-law. This one is from you, and this one is from Brother Yun. They also made several sets of clothes, shoes and purses. It's a big burden. I brought them all. Here it comes. You can come to me to get it after you come back with a salute later.”

Jia Yun and Jia Cang were both very pleasantly surprised when they heard this.

The two of them were away all the year round, and in the autumn of last year, they took advantage of the fleet to return to Dagan Country, stayed with their mother for two or three months, and left in a hurry.However, there were two people when they went back, but there were four people when they came back. The two of them have reached the age of twenty, so it is natural for them to marry a wife and have children, and continue to have children.

"Thank you, Second Uncle, how are my mother and the others at home?"

"The third sister-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law are both fine. You two are not here, and they have followed us back to our hometown in Jinling. Now I live with your second sister-in-law Lian, talking and touching the dominoes every morning and evening, and my life is comfortable. , just one thing, before I came, the two of them told you to give birth to a grandson as soon as possible."

Leng Buding was suddenly born, both Jia Yun and Jia Cang were stunned, but it was hard to say anything, after all, every mother seemed to have this habit.

But children are determined by God, and they have just been married for half a year, so they are not in a hurry now.

Here Jia Lian, Jia Cang and others were talking, while Mrs. Bai and Daiyu over there also showed surprise in their eyes.

Without him, the scenery as far as the eye can see is really beautiful.

Large stretches of white and crystal-clear sandy beaches, tall and straight coconut trees, rolling alpine forests in the distance, and shallow sea water with rippling blue waves nearby outline a beautiful picture.Following the situation of the vehicle, they gradually moved away from the beach and drove into a manor.

This manor is quite well built, it not only has the atmosphere of the northern gardens, but also takes into account the softness of the Jiangnan landscape, which is amazing.

"Second uncle, Mr. Bai, some aunts, please come inside."

Brother Cang's daughter-in-law and Brother Yun's daughter-in-law were waiting at the gate early on. As soon as the car stopped, the two hurried forward to pay respects.

These two people, Daiyu and others, are also familiar, one is the daughter of a collateral line of the Wang family, and the other is a girl of a collateral line of the Shi family.Both of them were born in the general family. Not only are their temperaments extremely sharp, but they even learned martial arts with their father and brother. After coming here with their husband, they are even more reluctant to think about leaving.

We haven't seen each other for more than half a year, so we can't help chatting a few more words and greeting each other with old news about relatives and friends.

Not to mention the joy and joy of the people here after reuniting after a long absence, but the Jinling side is also very lively.

Ever since Jia Lian left with Tanchun and Xichun, although there was Chunming pretending to be her, she was not Jia Lian after all, so she lived quite reclusively.As for Wang Xifeng, she took advantage of this opportunity to raise her children and collect Jia's property for the future.In this way, the supervision of the second room was relaxed, but Jia Zheng acted like a demon.

But it turned out that since coming to Jinling, the Jia family's first room and the second room have been completely separated.

Although Tanchun, Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Lan were still with Jia Lian and his wife, they did so under the banner of studying with Mr. Bai, but Jia Zheng, Li Wan and others had already lived in separate houses.

Li Wan was young and widowed, so he was reticent in the first place, and with Wang Xifeng on his head for more than ten years, he didn't like to stand out even more.Now that the family is separated suddenly, as the eldest daughter-in-law, she has no mother-in-law above, and no sister-in-law below, so she has to take on the task of housekeeping.

But her status was embarrassing, and Jia Zheng was the father-in-law, so Li Wan couldn't control him, so she had to provide them with good food and drink.

But away from the boundary of the capital, Jia Zheng's current status is very obvious. He was the son of the Duke of Rong, and now the uncle of the Marquis of Zhaoming.

Outsiders don't know the real situation, they only think that Jia Zheng used to be an official of the Ministry of Industry, and because of an accidental physical injury, he had no choice but to retreat.They couldn't curry favor with Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian, and Jia She was suppressed by Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing together. They only played games at home, and they couldn't even touch the corner of their clothes, so they approached Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng really "lived up to his high expectations". It took only a few days for him to go from being decadent and sad to enjoying it, and he got to hang out with those old dudes in Jinling City and live happily ever after.

Jia Zheng felt that he was really stupid in the past, and when he returned to Jinling, he was unexpectedly comfortable.The people around him all flattered and flattered him, and it seemed that he had returned to ten years ago in a trance. At that time, Jia Lian had not yet made his debut, and he was still the master of the Rongguo Mansion, surrounded by clean people. Life seemed to be without any twists and turns. The prosperity, wealth and power are really extremely happy.

It was such a fuzzy delusion that gave Jia Zheng great confidence. He actually arranged for Tanchun and Jia Baoyu's marriage after being drunk once!

The family assigned to Tanchun was Ma's family, a local squire in Jinling. It is said that Ma's family is very wealthy, and it is no worse than the imperial merchant Xue's family.What's more, the master of the Ma family has a younger sister who married the magistrate of Jinling as a concubine, and raised a pair of children under his knees. Knowing the favor of the mansion, he also has a little more love for the cheap brother-in-law of the master of the Ma family.

Being rich and backed like this, the Ma family master got mixed up in Jinling's dandy circle and got acquainted with Jia Zheng.

And what Jia Zheng decided for Tanchun was the third son of the Ma family master, and he was just a bastard!

It is said that Ma Laosan is good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and now he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he has searched for all the pretty maids in the yard.What's more, in the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou, there are also a few caring Yingyingyanyans, and in the alleys in Jinling City, there is a charming outer room.

As for Jia Baoyu, it was the fifth girl who was sold by Jia Zheng to the magistrate's family, and she was born to Aunt Ma!

Relying on their aunt's favor and their father's preference, these five girls are very arrogant and domineering, and they are not inferior to their aunts and sisters. They are famous tigresses in Jinling City.The female relatives of various families in the city shy away from her, and have a very bad reputation, and because she is almost 20 years old, they still haven't spoken well of her.

This marriage was originally said by Jia Zheng on a whim after he was drunk, but the country gentleman surnamed Ma was very bold, so he asked for Jia Zheng's token on the spot as a witness.Another person who was drinking with him testified that the prefect of Jinling was also happy to see the result. He invited Jia Zheng to have a long talk several times, but it was really settled like this.

Wang Xifeng closed the door to raise a child at home, and was the wife of the prefect of Jinling, dissatisfied that Aunt Ma had received such good help, so she secretly reported to Jia's family, and only then did she know about it in advance.

When Wang Xifeng heard the news suddenly, he was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He wished he could slap Jia Zheng to death immediately.But because of the reputations of the Jia family, Baoyu, and Tanchun, they could only endure it and plot a plan in secret.

When the secret guard handed over the news about Ma Laosan and the fifth girl, Wang Xifeng flipped two pages, slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Such a trash with all kinds of poisons dares to covet the girl of my Jia family, really! Tired of living!"

"Grandma, be careful not to hurt your hand!" Chunliu hurriedly stepped forward and took Wang Xifeng's hand, but saw that it was already red, "That screwdriver is not worth getting angry with grandma, just clean it up."

"Whether it's the Ma's family or the magistrate's family, they are just relying on their current official positions to run rampant in Jinling City. But the two of them are not clean at all. The extravagance and lust in Yurou Township can be called a cancer in Jinling. Leave it to the censor to do it, otherwise it will be fine."

Chunliu said slowly while rubbing Wang Xifeng's hands.

Wang Xifeng also came to his senses, losing his temper is useless, it is better to solve the problem.

Wang Xifeng sneered: "The magistrate and the Ma family are nothing, I haven't put them in my eyes yet! It's just a trick, the third girl and Baoyu are good children, I can't just watch them ruin their lives. What's more What's more, there are four girls and our sisters Qiao and Xuan, the Jia family has a century-old reputation, and it needs to be maintained."

"It's not difficult, grandma, before the news spreads, you should make a plan earlier."

Wang Xifeng glanced at Chunliu, and suddenly said with a smile: "Then tell me, what plans should I make?"

Chunliu was not restrained, and immediately said: "If they want to get married, they just get married. They only say that they are the third daughter of the Jia family, but there are not as many as seventeen or eight in our family. The third master’s family also had a third girl, but unfortunately, she died at a young age.”

"As an elder, the second master has a loving heart, and he can't bear the fact that his niece and daughter have no one to rely on, and there is no incense behind him, so he specially discussed this marriage with the Ma family, which makes sense."

"As for the fifth girl from the magistrate's family, what does grandma think of Grandma Huang's elder brother? From my point of view, the two are really a match made in heaven. Didn't Grandma Huang come to beg grandma earlier and say yes? Do you want me to help you see a girl? His brother is also ranked second, and he is also called Jia Erye outside."

Wang Xifeng heard Chunliu's words, clapped his hands and smiled, "You narrow-minded girl, you speak very well!"
