Three ships pulled out of the dock in a row.

Although the three ships are not big, they are almost the same as medium-sized cargo ships.The first boat contained a small part of Jia Lian and Daiyu’s large luggage, the second boat contained Daiyu and Tom’s luggage, and the third boat was full of luggage. a boat.

Tom used to go to school by himself and go home every day, and Jia Min could still pack so much luggage for him. Tom thought it was unbelievable. Now it was his turn to prepare luggage for Daiyu. Even the Taihu Lake stones are indispensable. If Daiyu hadn't collected and inspected them herself, a few more boats would have to be added.

In this way, Tom still felt that it was not enough and wronged Daiyu.

"I really wronged my sister. Living in another country, I only bring these people with me. These things are not enough for my sister." Tom's face is full of pity. In his opinion, Lin Daiyu's current expenses are simply pitiful. , If there is less, it is time to go begging.

Daiyu thought of the two nuns, four big maids, four second-class maids, two rough envoys, and three boats of luggage beside her. She really wanted to reason with her brother, but... Tom has been so nervous and sad since he got on the boat, Daiyu thinks it's better not to interrupt him.

"Sister, you take this box. The land deeds, house deeds and slave deeds of the three villages in Beijing and several shops are here. If you don't have enough money on weekdays, ask your servants to pick it up. It's also for you to practice your hands. Reason. Also, I discussed it with my father, and every season someone will send you expenses, don’t worry about it, don’t feel wronged because you live in someone else’s house, you know?”

"Got it, got it." Daiyu read the book with a perfunctory tone.

Nagia slid around their feet, and Tom was even more upset watching her, wishing to kick her into the river.Daiyu seemed to be aware of his intentions, put the book on the table and walked to the inner cabin: "Najiya, come here, we should take a lunch break, and let my brother play by himself." It was really indescribable disgust.

Tom could hear it, but he was worried, but no matter how much he worried, Jingli was finally here.

The Lin family had a house in Beijing, but when Lin Ruhai took office in Yangzhou, the house was empty.Now the two little masters are here, although they won't be staying here, Lin He, the manager of the house, cleaned up the house to pick up Daiyu and Tom to Rongguo Mansion.

The boat has not landed yet, Tom and Jia Lian are standing at the bow.There were two obvious groups of people on the pier, a group of people stood sparsely beside the two sedan chairs and the two carts carrying luggage.Another group of people stood neatly beside a sedan chair, and there were two young servants leading two horses in front of them. The pedestrians were neatly dressed and behaved uniformly.

Jia Lian could tell at a glance that the group described as undisciplined were servants of the Rongguo Mansion, and the leader was Zhou Rui, the second wife's companion, his face was about to burn.

Tom saw it, but it wasn't easy to slap someone in the face, so he acted as if he didn't see it and didn't recognize it.

When the boat docked, Daiyu was wearing a bamboo hat, and Tom helped him get off the boat.Lin He hurried forward: "Greetings to the uncle and miss."

"Get up." Tom stood beside Daiyu: "Thank you, where is the sedan chair?"

"Return to the uncle. It was prepared early in the morning. This way please." Lin He led Tom and Daiyu to the other side.

Tom didn't move, but turned around and said to Jia Lian, "Cousin Lian is not like we are going to Rongguo Mansion together, so we don't have to go on two sides."

Just as Jia Lian was about to say something, Zhou Rui barged in on his own: "Second Master Lian, Mr. Huai, and Miss. My wife sent a servant to pick me up early in the morning..."

This slave is inappropriate, and the master dares to interrupt when he is talking, Jia Lian becomes more and more ashamed and flustered, but Tom doesn't have to show shame to the slave, he has never heard such a word that the master wants to obey the slave.So he had the right to pretend that he hadn't seen such a person, and just said to Jia Lian, "Cousin Lian, I need you to show me the way."

Jia Lian got on the horse and ignored the shameful servant: "Then cousin Huai and cousin can come with me."

At this point, no one paid any attention to Zhou Rui and the gang of servants. The three of Tom went forward, and the servants arranged by Lin He carried the luggage down to Rongguo Mansion in an orderly manner.Such luggage almost blinded the servants of Jia's mansion.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, it was really bustling, with hawkers and crowds bustling along the way, it was not until Rongning Street became much quieter.

Passing through the Weiweihehe gate of Rongguo Mansion, Zhou Rui was about to lead the way to the west corner gate, but the team had already stopped. Lin He frowned and was about to knock on the side door, when Zhou Rui went to Tom Ma's side: "Lin Sir, the West Corner Gate is just around the corner, and we will be there after walking two more steps."

Tom didn't even look at him, just looked at Jia Lian. Jia Lian's face was full of embarrassment, and without waiting for Jia Lian to say anything, Tom whipped Zhou Rui's face, and immediately screamed, Zhou Rui's face was covered with blood.

Seeing this, Lin He didn't care about anything else, so he went up and knocked on the side door.The door inside had watched this scene a long time ago, and opened the side door before Lin He could knock. Jia Lian quickly dismounted, and led Tom in. A few robust young men came out of the door, carrying Daiyu's sedan chair and following behind. Back into the side door.

As soon as he entered the door, a boy came to pass a message: "Second Master Lian, the old lady is waiting in Rongqingtang. She only said that the young lady of the aunt's family is here, so please go directly to Rongqingtang. Let her meet first and then talk about other things."

"Cousin Huai, the old lady is looking forward to your coming day and night, let's go see the old lady first." Jia Lian raised his finger and pointed inside.

"Everything is arranged by Cousin Lian." Tom had a modest attitude, as if he wasn't the one who beat the man outside just now with blood all over his face.

The two walked in, and Daiyu followed in the sedan chair behind.At the second gate, Daiyu got out of the sedan chair and replaced it with the soft sedan chair that had been waiting at the second gate. Several servants carried the soft sedan chair and followed Jia Lian and Tom, with Daiyu's mother and maid at the end.

When she got outside the Rongqing Hall, Daiyu came out of the sedan chair.Passing through the courtyard gate, the girl in the courtyard saw these three people and shouted inside: "Come here, come here."

Before the person arrived, he was still stepping on the ladder, and the little girl who opened the curtain pulled up the curtain early.

Jia Lian walked in front, and Tom helped Daiyu to walk behind.As soon as they entered the room, there was a burst of tangy fragrance, which was a bit too strong, both Tom and Daiyu frowned unbelievably.

Walk two more steps, bypass the big screen in the next room, and look up to see a silver-haired old lady surrounded by pearls and jade.The face is rich and noble, but with some sad and sad expressions.She was sitting on the big chair at the front seat, and when she saw Daiyu coming out, the old lady leaned forward slightly, staring at her, and suddenly cried out: "Min'er, my Min'er Ah, you little heartless, you haven't come to see me, a dying old woman, for so many years."

This mournful cry broke into the hearts of Daiyu and Tom. Tom, a boy, could barely bear it, but his eyes were also red, and Daiyu couldn't help it long ago, and the tears came down instantly.

Daiyu hurried up to hold her hand: "Grandmother."

This grandma made Jia's mother pause for a moment. She looked at the little girl in front of her with eyes full of tears, carefully looked at her, her appearance, and her temperament. As if accepting the reality, she hugged Daiyu and cried loudly: "My son, why did you leave your mother behind? Look at your child, why did you abandon her so heartlessly. My Yu'er Ah, my miserable Yu'er."

Daiyu couldn't help weeping because of Jia's mother's grief.All the attendants in the room hurriedly gathered around, trying to persuade her for a while, Tom also stood beside Daiyu and wiped her tears.

After a while, the two stopped crying, and then the maids came in again with washing things and waited for Jiamu and Daiyu to wash their faces.

"This is what your mother always said about Brother Huai, right?" Mother Jia sat down and looked at Tom.

Tom stood in the center and saluted Jiamu: "Greetings to the old lady." Because of the old lady's sincerity at the beginning, Tom had a better impression of Jiamu, and he was even more considerate at this time.

Mother Jia called him to come forward, hugging Daiyu with one arm, and rubbing Tom's hand with the other: "Good boy, your mother always praised you in the letters she gave me when she was alive, saying that you respect your parents, caress your younger sister, and respect your younger sister. Qingqing already has the reputation of a scholar."

"I don't dare to be a mother's praise. These are what I should do." Tom had a reserved smile on his lips, and he looked modest and polite, with a sense of distance.

Mother Jia looked at him, and suddenly felt that this handsome temperament was similar to those favored princes and grandsons she had seen in the palace when she was young.

"Good boy." Mother Jia seemed very satisfied with Tom, turned around and pointed to them one by one: "This is your first aunt, this is your second aunt, and these three are girls from the house." Yes, the two aunts gave the table gift again, and exchanged the meeting gift with the three sisters.

Tom was almost embarrassed.

At first, I thought that I would not meet the lady of my generation. After all, he is over 7 years old, so those gifts are all sealed and signed in the luggage, waiting for Daiyu to send them out at that time, but I did not expect to meet here .Fortunately, Ming Yan is smart, seeing the three ladies here, he called Qiu Yan who was beside him to go outside to get presents, otherwise he would be ashamed.

A group of people sat down.

The author has something to say:

Hehe, I heard that Tom disliked Jia Min on the first day of school and packed up too much.Daiyu: I don't say anything, I just look at Taihu Stone.
