[Red Mansions] Why does Xiaoye want to whitewash

When the husband and wife were in Changzhi County, they often went out for a walk together, but that place was too peaceful. Although the years were indeed quiet and beautiful, it was another feeling in the busy city...

"Daiyu and the others are so reluctant to part with their father, Uncle Lin might as well marry a stepwife to take care of them." But as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xifeng herself began to worry about what didn't happen, "Just in case the stepmother treats the children No, Daiyu and brother are sad..."

"Uncle Lin has already said that he is not going to look for it again." Jia Lian saw a beautiful headdress in the shape of a butterfly on a stall, and the gemstones on it were very eye-catching, so he picked it up and said to her, "Uncle Lin has his own ideas. Let's not take care of what needs to be taken care of. Look at this headdress, why don't you buy it back and give it to Yingchun Tanchun?"

Wang Xifeng took it over and held it in front of his eyes for a closer look, "Beautiful is beautiful, but it's just a little hard to handle, right?"

The stall owner had already seen from the clothes of the two that they were big customers, so naturally he spared no effort to recommend them. Jia Lian picked up a few different styles next to him, and said with a smile: "We chose it ourselves, but it was just a wish. How could it be?" Can't get it out?"

That's right, so Wang Xifeng asked how much it was, and the stall owner said a number, and she was ready to pay.However, Jia Lian directly stopped her, looked at the stall owner with a half-smile and said, "It's true that I'm a big buyer, but I'm not a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Boss, you should be more honest, so as not to be beaten."

When the stall owner heard this, he smiled awkwardly, and immediately changed his words, and the price was almost half lower than what he said before.Wang Xifeng is a rich man who doesn't care about such a small amount of money, but she also can't stand being deceived the most, and she wants to leave as soon as she pulls her face.

But Jia Lian shook his head and asked his attendants to pay the wallet and get up and take it away.

"As long as you are generous, this kind of troublemaker..."

"Okay——" Jia Lian took her hand directly, and then hid the handshake in the sleeves of the two of them, and said slowly: "The night market is so big, let's go shopping and see what we like later, cousin give me you buy it."

Wang Xifeng was not going to affect her mood because of others, and Jia Lian said that she would spend money for herself, so she naturally began to look around to see if there was anything she liked.

The two stopped and stopped to catch up with the children in front. At this time, Daiyu and the eldest sister were leading the two children to watch others guess lantern riddles.

Sister Qiao was not interested, looked around but didn't run around casually, she just looked bored, her eyes lit up as soon as she saw her parents, and she was about to come over immediately.

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng walked a few steps faster and came to their daughter's side, but they didn't take her away as Sister Qiao wished. Instead, they followed along to join in the fun.

But Jia Lian is Qiaojie's father after all. The more he guessed the lantern riddle, the more it went beyond his knowledge. He was confused, so he planned to take Qiaojie to play elsewhere.

Sister Qiao didn't just leave with her parents, but pulled Lin Ke's sleeve and said loudly, "Ke'er, are you going?"

Lin Ke nodded, turned around and asked her sister and elder sister, they had seen enough and left together.

After the novelty passed, the younger ones stopped leaving in such a hurry, and followed Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng to watch slowly.There was a stall owner who made clay figurines. Wang Xifeng saw that the clay figurines he made were two or three points alike, so he became interested in making one for each of them.

When I first pinched the eldest sister, I suddenly noticed that many people in front of me were poking their heads, and their voices were much louder. Sister Qiao was very kind, so she wanted to go and have a look.

Jia Lian glanced at the direction of the flow of people, and held her back. Sure enough, not long after, he saw a few tall men with blue eyes and hair of various colors also visiting the temple fair. When they got close, they heard them chattering.

"Daddy! Why do those people look different from us?" Sister Qiao was well-bred since she was a child, and when she saw that others were different, she pulled her father to bow her head and whispered in his ear instead of yelling out loud.

Wang Xifeng also looked at it curiously, she knew that some visitors from afar looked different from those of this dynasty, but it was the first time she had actually seen them, so she also listened to what the father and daughter said.

And Jia Lian listened carefully. Although ancient English and modern English may not be the same, he can be sure that those people did not speak English. After a little thought, they can roughly determine their nationality, so he bowed his head and explained to his daughter. Then no more attention was shown.

Perhaps Jia Lian's tone was normal, and the others were not so surprised after watching it for a while, but they couldn't understand what he was saying, so they focused all their attention on the clay figurine.

Lin Daiyu asked to give her a drink. Lin Ke made one more, and was going to keep it for his father when he went back.

It was too late to go on a stroll, so the group got up and walked back. When they walked faster, they ran into those foreigners again. When passing by, Jia Lian took another look at those people, and suddenly felt that he would enter the fourth translation. Museum, to some extent, is God's will?

The appointment time with the Xue family was the second day, but the exact time was uncertain, so Lin Ruhai sent people to guard the pier all the time, and when he saw the Xue family's fleet coming, he immediately sent people back to report.

Jia Lian's own salute and the things that the Lin family wanted to bring to Daiyu's siblings had already been packed and waiting at the pier.As soon as they learned that the Xue family had arrived, they immediately prepared to leave.

Lin Ruhai only took half a day off, but was unable to send them to the port.At this time, in front of the Lin family's gate, Jia Lian cupped his hands at him before getting into the carriage, and said, "Uncle takes care, see you in the capital."

Lin Ruhai also bowed his hands to Jia Lian, glanced at his children, and seemed to promise: "I will see you again."

They didn't stay any longer, and the group of people drove the carriage to the pier at a faster speed. At this time, the Xue family's boat had already docked on the shore, and the family of three got off the boat and waited for Jia Lian and the others.

They already had quite a few four ships, but the fleet of the Xue family was even more spectacular. The first thing Jia Lian saw when he got off the carriage was the logo of the Xue family.

"But the cousin of the Jia family?"

Just as Jia Lian was sighing, he suddenly heard a young man's voice. When he looked up, he saw a man in brocade clothes smiling at him, and behind that man were two veiled mothers and daughters and a group of servants.

Knowing that this might be the three members of the Xue family, at this time Wang Xifeng also took the children out of the carriage, as soon as the two parties confirmed it, they exchanged pleasantries immediately.

Xue Pan felt that Jia Lian's words were very interesting, so he enthusiastically invited the Jia family members to board the Xue family's boat. Jia Lian saw that the Xue family's mother and daughter had been inviting them all the time. If we need time to connect with each other, we will stay on the Xue family's boat for now, and when we arrive at the next port, we will return to the Jia family's own boat."

Xue Wang naturally nodded in agreement, and then warmly greeted Jia Lian, his wife and children to board Xue's boat.Xue Pan still had to deal with the Xue family's business, so he stayed below for the time being. When they got on the boat, Wang Xifeng and Aunt Xue's mother and daughter formally introduced the children.

Sister Qiao has grown up so much, and it is rare to see a lady who is not thin and thin. Now that she sees Xue Baochai, she feels very kind. When she sees the adults talking, she moves to her side thinking that no one will notice. , whispered: "I like you."

Xue Baochai was surprised, then laughed and stroked Qiaojie's hair and said, "I like Qiaojie too."

Sister Qiao carefully distinguished for a while, and seeing that she was not lying, she returned Xue Baochai with a big smile.

Xue Wang saw that the youngest daughter of Feng girl was so close to her daughter, she immediately looked at Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng with a smile, and said: "After all, they are close relatives, and they are destined to have fate!"

Wang Xifeng also nodded with a smile, and said to Aunt Xue: "I feel very kind when I see my aunt!"

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Xue Wang took Wang Xifeng's hand and clapped it twice, "We are the ones who bothered you and your husband. Because we want to do business, we will have to stop at every major port."

In fact, according to Xue Wang's initial thinking, he was going to go slowly and start the Xue family's business, but now that Jia Lian has to go back to take office, naturally it is impossible to delay too long, so their plan for this trip is also As fast as possible.

Wang Xifeng didn't know about this, but the two families were relatives, so they naturally gave each other convenience within the range they could bear, so they directly expressed that they didn't care.

Jia Lian had been listening to Wang Xifeng talking and joking with Aunt Xue, and when she said she was going to stop at the port, she said, "It just so happens that my uncle's cousins ​​are also going north, but they are ahead of the curve and are now waiting for us in Jinan. Woolen cloth."

Xue Wang didn't know much about Jia Lian's natal family, so Wang Xifeng laughed and said to her, "It's from my wife's natal family. I went back to my hometown to keep my filial piety. Now my cousins ​​have all passed the Juren examination, so I have to go early." The capital is preparing for the Spring Festival!"

"That's amazing!" When Wang Xifeng said this, she seemed to vaguely remember meeting Jia Lian's biological mother, and she also heard from her sister that she couldn't understand her hypocrisy and high self-esteem many times.

It's just that the person has passed away, so it doesn't make sense to let the juniors know about such a thing, Xue Wang only smiled and praised: "After all, it is a scholarly family, and it must have a bright future in the future."

It's hard to talk about the future, so Jia Lian just laughed and didn't say anything, and never interjected.

Only half a day later, Xue Pan returned to the boat and the fleet set off.Jia Lian didn't want him to have too much contact with the women's family members, so he took the initiative to tell him to go somewhere else to talk, and took away Lin Ke who obviously didn't like to listen to women talking about family matters.

Xue Pan's character is still very enthusiastic. Although Jia Lian could feel that his temper was indeed very arrogant from his words, he did not show it to them.

And after getting along on the boat for a few days, he became more generous and never showed any disrespect to the girls. Because of this, after they continued to stay, Jia Lian did not insist on going back to his boat.
