The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

Wang Xifeng left half a carload of gifts and a message, and Shi Shiran left the Lin family.

After discussing with Lin Ruhai, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai found Li Shi, Ping'er, Lin Rou, Lin Duo and Daiyu the next day and asked them to cooperate with Jia Min to house the house.Among them, Ping'er only took over the work of the embroidery room because she was pregnant. There are rules for everything in this place, and there is no need for special effort.

Regardless of other people, Li Shi and Lin Rou sisters were very excited about this.The three of them had somewhat similar identities in the past, they all came from a family of merchants, and they were a little uncomfortable when they suddenly entered the grand courtyard of the Lin Mansion.

Although Jia Min found someone to give them special training, the psychological pressure cannot be easily resolved, and she always feels that she seems to be inferior to others.Now that Jia Min has delegated power and has things to deal with in his hands, the spirits of the three of them seem to be much better.

Let's not talk about idle things, in a blink of an eye it will be the Flower Festival on the twelfth day of February, Daiyu's birthday.

Early in the morning, the kitchen was full of excitement. Daiyu got up early and changed into the clothes that Jia Min specially ordered someone to make for her. Starting from Lin Ruhai's room, she visited everywhere.Everyone in the mansion, no matter the master or servant, got a bowl of longevity noodles to congratulate and bless Daiyu.

In addition, Jia Min set up a porridge shed outside the city gate early on, and served porridge for ten consecutive days, praying for Daiyu's longevity, and praying for God to protect her safe and healthy.

After everyone had finished their breakfast, Daiyu's little sisters also arrived.Most of them are girls who have not left the court. Although Yingchun is married, she has always been on good terms with Daiyu, so she also came here in a carriage.

Lin Ruan and Lin Duo, as Daiyu's cousins, acted as assistants to greet these girls' homes. Although they seldom dealt with each other before and never grew up in these circles, their gestures were a bit jerky and uncomfortable, but their faces were also Well done, nothing went wrong.

Jia Min watched from the sidelines, but she let go of her worries, so that if Nanny taught her carefully for two years, she would be no worse than other daughters.

After a lively birthday banquet, it was the day when Chun Wei ended.

Ping'er's bosom looks good, and Mrs. Lu is always looking after her, and she also follows the crowd to pick up people at the gate of the Gongyuan.

Three exams in a row, a total of nine days of exams, can make these frail scholars very tired.Many candidates couldn't even get out by themselves, they had to rely on others to walk, their faces were pale, and their bodies smelled bad.

Lin Qiong was better than them. Since Heping'er got married, he would spare half an hour every day to practice boxing to strengthen his muscles and bones. His physical fitness was much better than these candidates of the same subject.

After the young servant found Lin Qiong from the gate of the Gongyuan and took him back to the carriage, Ping'er watched him drink a bowl of ginseng chicken soup and a bowl of hot bird's nest porridge.Seeing that he had a good appetite and his face was only tired, Ping'er felt relieved.

"Lie down and sleep for a while, and I'll call you when I get home."

Lin Qiong obediently nodded in response, lying in the specially thickened compartment, but in the blink of an eye, there was a snoring sound.

Ping'er looked at the bruises in the corners of his eyes, and couldn't help feeling distressed in his heart, this was too much to suffer.

She whispered to the servant girl: "You go and tell the wife, only that the second master is asleep, we probably have to slow down here, let them go first. In addition, let the coachman drive the carriage slower, the more stable the better good."

The servant girl nodded in response, then lifted the curtain and went out to pass on the message without saying anything.

Jia Min listened to what she said, and knew that Chunwei was in a difficult situation, so she didn't say anything, but went home first and asked someone to prepare hot water for food.He also asked the doctor to wait in the mansion, and when Lin Qiong arrived home, he specially checked the pulse to confirm that there was no serious problem before resting.

Time flies, and it is time to release the rankings. Although Lin Qiong's ranking is not very high, she has also entered the top [-], which is enough to be called young and promising.This is certainly not as good as Lin Ruhai's back then, but after all, Lin Qiong relied on her own hard work since she was a child, and it's not like Lin Ruhai was taught by countless famous scholars in the past, which is also very good.

At least both Lin Ruhai and Lin Qiong himself are very satisfied with this.

After successfully passing the palace examination, Lin Qiong became a newly released Jinshi master, of course, he was not in the top three.For the face of the Lin family, and because Lin Qiong also has some real talents, he got the [-]th place.

After the results came out, Lin Ruhai moved around a bit and got Lin Qiong an outsider.It's just that this place is very ordinary, in the south of the Lingnan, not to mention remote, the people's livelihood is also very aggressive, and has always been avoided by everyone.

Not only the Lin family didn't understand, but other people in Beijing also couldn't see Lin Ruhai's meaning for a while.However, because Lin Ruhai's people's livelihood has always been good, and there seems to be no problem with his mind, everyone agreed that Lin Ruhai chose a backward and remote place for Lin Qiong's benefit, so that he can make political achievements in the future.

But the real reason, only the Lin family and the Jia family know.

Xinke Scholars have a three-month holiday, and when the holiday is over, Ping'er's stomach will be more than four months old, and the pregnancy has already been firmly established.The husband and wife did not want to separate, and Mrs. Lu was worried about her daughter, so she entrusted the medicine shop in Beijing to Grandma Liu's family to take care of her, and she followed her daughter and son-in-law to any place.

The Lingnan area is naturally not as good as compared to the Jiangnan area, but it has one of the biggest advantages, which is the convenience of sea transportation.

Jia Lian's layout for two or three years has finally achieved some results, so it is natural to step up and consolidate it.Lingnan is a good springboard.It is located in a remote place, and the eyes of those nobles in Beijing will not fall here, but the geographical location is superior. Traveling to Nanyang and overseas is more than ten times more convenient than in Beijing.

Lin Qiong, Heping'er, Lady Lu and others left the capital without attracting attention, and boarded the official ship heading south.It is worth mentioning that the Jia family also had seven or eight guards, who went with them. It was said that the folk customs in Lingnan are tough, and these guards are to protect the safety of several people.

After the Dragon Boat Festival in May, Jia Lian returned to Beijing with a group of people from the Ministry of Industry.

The rainy season has entered the south of the Yangtze River, and their survey work can no longer be carried out smoothly, so they just came back to take a vacation for a few months.

After Jia Lian returned to Beijing, he was recruited by Situ Yao to speak in the palace before he had time to go home.

"Aiqing, please hurry up, between us monarchs and ministers, why should we perform such a great ceremony!" Situ Yao got up and helped Jia Lian up, and ordered the eunuch to give him a seat to watch tea, and then said with a smile on his face, " Dark and thin, it can be seen that Aiqing has really endured hardships when she was outside for the past few months. But have you ever returned home and seen the family members in the mansion?"

Jia Lian thanked Situ Yao first, and then replied with a smile: "I haven't seen Your Majesty for half a year, and I really miss Your Majesty in my heart. I came to see Your Majesty when I entered the city gate."

Situ Yao was even more touched: "How can you be so anxious? The wife and children in Aiqing's family must be looking forward to it, and seeing you looking so dark and thin now, I'm afraid the old lady in the house will come to the palace to cry to me. .”

Jia Lian said sternly: "Although I don't read much about the loyalty of the emperor, I am deeply favored by the emperor and understand this truth. Even the young and old in the family have been taught by their grandfather since they were young, and they only know how to serve the country and the people. It's heartbreaking, and the grandmother of the minister has been running the family since she was young, so that my grandfather will not have to worry about the future on the battlefield, and will kill the enemy and defend the frontier for our Dagan country, and she will definitely not cry."

Situ Yao thought of Jia Yuan and Jia Daishan, as well as the clansmen of Jia's warriors in the past, and his heart was agitated for a while.

Immediately, he laughed loudly and said: "I have heard about the prestige of the old lady of the Jia family for a long time in the palace. She is a character who can't be ignored by women! Not only the old lady, but even the son of the Jia family is also good. There is love Such capable ministers are a blessing to the Dagan Kingdom!"

After all, Situ Yao waved his hand and rewarded many treasures.Some were for Jia Lian, and some were for Jia Shishi, Wang Xifeng and others. There was indeed a bloodshed.

Because Jia Lian hadn't washed and washed, although he didn't say he was dirty and smelly, after all these days on the road, he couldn't be considered clean and upright.Therefore, Situ Yao talked to him again, and after finding out the situation of the railway track survey, he let him go home and gave him half a month's vacation so that he could have a good rest.

In Jia's house, in Rongqing hall, everyone from Jia Shi's family to the youngest sister Qiao is there.

Although everyone was drinking tea and chatting as usual, their minds were all flying outside. Wang Xifeng was even more lost in thought, looking out from time to time.

"Second sister-in-law? Second sister-in-law! The old lady is calling you."

Tanchun tugged at Wang Xifeng's sleeve and reminded her in a low voice, which brought her back to her senses.

"Feng girl, don't worry too much. Lian'er has been away for so long, so he should go to the palace to meet His Majesty first, and report a little bit. We just wait at home. He will definitely come back by dinner time at most."

Faced with Jia Shishi's comfort, Wang Xifeng blushed slightly, and could only explain reluctantly: "I'm not worried about anything."

Wang Xifeng's personality has always been aggressive and outgoing, and everyone rarely sees her like this, so they all looked at her curiously for a while,

Jia Shishi smiled and said: "You girl, you have two children, and you are still shy. If you say you have never worried, then don't worry, but I feel sorry for my grandson. You don't need to wait here, let's go to the small kitchen to see Look, ask them to prepare some health-preserving soup and bring it up when Lian'er comes back."

Wang Xifeng's cheeks were blushing, she forced herself to nod in response, and led the maid to avoid it without mentioning it.

The small kitchen had already started to prepare food, Wang Xifeng just came to watch it for nothing, and avoided the jokes of everyone.

After checking them one by one, Wang Xifeng did not go back to the main hall, but walked to the Chuihua Gate with the servant girls.When he was about to stand still, he saw Jia Lian walking quickly across from him.

Since Jia Lian left Beijing in the first lunar month, he has not seen each other for more than four months.This is the longest separation between the two of them since this life. Although Wang Xifeng didn't show it on the face, he couldn't stop worrying in his heart. Now when he saw her suddenly, the circles of his eyes turned red.

Seeing Wang Xifeng from a distance, Jia Lian felt like the wind was blowing under her feet. She stepped in front of her in two or three steps, and said with a smile, "Brother Feng, I'm back."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, I saw that the beauty's eyes were slightly red, and there were tears in them.

He couldn't help but panic: "But someone bullied you, why are you crying?"

Wang Xifeng turned her head back and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and then replied: "I just went to the small kitchen, and my eyes were blinded by the heat, so I just cried. Let's go in quickly, the old lady and the wife are waiting, Sister Qiao kept calling to see her father."

Seeing her like this, Jia Lian knew she hadn't been bullied, so she felt slightly relieved and followed her into Rongqing Hall.
